The Czechs’ Attitude toward Vilnia University

Francišak Pyatkevich, a student of the medical faculty of the Stefan Batory University of Vilnia, moved to Prague, wishing to enroll in medicine at the university there on the basis of a certificate he had received in Vilnia, the so-called "half-diploma." However, the Czechs held this certificate to be of no value, equivalent to the certificates of ordinary universities that the Czechs do not recognize.
