Ep.26 - Class Tickets
This week, we’re uncovering the history of class tickets. Issued to students at the University of Edinburgh, these tickets gave you admission to the classes of individual teachers. Students would pick and choose what courses to take, all over Europe – buying a ticket for anatomy at Paris, botany in the Netherlands and ward rounds in Edinburgh. We uncover how the country-hopping studies of 18th century students was a stark contrast with 21st century university life.
