About This Book

The manifesto, drafted by Antero de Quental, records a collective explanation and defense of a university-wide protest in which students peacefully left a ceremonial hall to refuse recognition of a rector they deem authoritarian. It situates the walkout as deliberate, nonviolent, and motivated by principles of justice, academic freedom, and national conscience; rejects allegations of disorder or private intrigue; criticizes anonymous calumny in the press; and appeals to public opinion for understanding and support of the students' demands for institutional reform and liberty.
