Abstract

Lund has had its fair share of eternal students, and their names appear like shadows from an arrack punch-flavoured past: “The Last Athenian” Otto Steiman, Sam Ask, Adolf Herrlin – the list goes on. Similarly, Lund University has had many academic eccentrics, both of the kind who made a career for themselves and the kind who never even completed a degree.

Here, University archivist Henrik Ullstad tells the story of yet another of these eternal student eccentrics, the wonderful rabble-rouser, trainee priest, book peddler, tailor-hater, eloquent and long-winded speaker and pamphletist Erik August Torbjörnsson.
