[7]Saint Basil, in his maturer years, deeply regretted that he had
studied classical literature in his youth. Jerome regarded the
reading of the writings of antiquity as a terrible crime. Gregory
the Great declared a knowledge of grammar even for a layman to be
indelicate.—Fort: Medical Economy during the Middle Ages. N. Y.,

[13]The Collége Royal de France was founded by Francis the First. This
enlightened patron of the sciences and arts recognized the merits of
scientific men and rewarded them with his money and his friendship.
He established the Collége de France with twelve richly-endowed
professorships, one of which was devoted to medicine. The lectures
were free to all who desired to attend. The first incumbent of the
chair of medicine was Vidus Vidius, Guido Guidi, of Florence, who
filled this position from 1542 to 1548. Such success followed his
labors that, on his return to Italy, his experience in Paris was the
subject of this witticism: _Vidus venit, Vidius vidit, Vidus vicit_.
