Note 5 — ANDA’S MEMORIAL, 1768

Reading edition

The university of the Society having been extinguished by their expulsion, the same ought to be done with that of Santo Tomás; for, otherwise, the same difficulty remains. Suitable professors ought to be sent from here,5 who will maintain themselves with the same incomes,6 and suitable seculars, in order that they may be given the curacies near Manila. In view of this reward there will be no lack of students to attend it; and in a few years, the hard yoke of all the regular estate, hitherto possessing almost all the curacies and maintained by the king, notwithstanding the rich fees or dues [therein], will be shaken off.7
