Perhaps more important than these codes of discipline are the contemporary accounts of the Chinese travellers, who had the opportunity to be eye-witnesses to the University colleges in action. - [Previous: c13.54](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.sankalia-1934.c13.54) - [Next: c13.56](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.sankalia-1934.c13.56) - [Up: c13](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.sankalia-1934.c13) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.sankalia-1934.c13.55](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.sankalia-1934.c13.55) · Pramāṇa
