200. This article was very unfair, and had been written by the students simply from spite, and to create a controversy, but it had a decided effect on Buboni. He felt he had to so something to prove himself to the students so he decided to teach two classes at the university. The first class would be 'Basic Drawing', and the second 'Basic Painting'.
201. It was his intent to reintroduce all the lost practices and procedures of the old masters in these classes, and to re-establish the lost arts of painting and drawing on a firm foundation. This plan was his second big mistake.
202. One unfortunate side effect of Arnold's plan was that Professor Thomas Aimes now lost his teaching position. Thomas was only part time faculty hired to fill in for a year for someone on sabbatical, but now his classes were taken over by Buboni. This was the same Thomas Aimes whose Leonardo drawing had been disparaged by Buboni.
203. The university welcomed this plan because they were anxious to be rid of Aimes anyway. Thomas Aimes was a great admirer of anything modern and radical and he had recently given the assignment. "Discuss the importance of graffiti on historic monuments in the area.'' This assignment was misunderstood by his students with serious disastrous results. As so often happens at universities with part time radical professors, he had a dedicated student following among who were the the editors of the school paper.
