The St. Scholastica’s Day Riot

“There is always some conflict between a university and the community where it resides. Sometime that conflict is just a little more intense. The St. Scholastica’s Day riot of February 10,1355 was one of the most extreme instances of “town vs. gown” in history.” — The History Guy provides background on the first town-gown uprising that led to the death of sixty-three students and thirty townspeople.
