Label TextLike everyone at the college, Christian Petersen had to attend many meetings, some of which must not have been very interesting t him. Among his papers was found an agenda for one such meeting which had, one the back of one of the sheets, a series of caricatures of the professors. By the way the paper is folded into narrow segments, we might guess the Petersen attempted to do his sketches somewhat furtively, without attracting attention to what he was actually doing during the meeting.
