Can anyone add a section on the unique graduation ceremonies for graduating students? I have seen the caricature posters and "hazing" rituals of students who pass their oral arguments, but it would be nice if someone could explain the origins of this unique practice.

Fair use rationale for Image:Unipd.gif
Image:Unipd.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Padua's anatomy theatre
Shouldn't this article mention Padua's famous anatomy theatre for artists and scientists? The oldest surviving permanent anatomical theatre in Europe! Fleabox (talk) 20:39, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Also worth mentioning: Among the students was illustrator Andreas Versalius, author of De Humani Corporis Fabrica (1543). The book triggered great public interest in dissections and caused many other European cities to establish anatomical theatres. Fleabox (talk) 21:02, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Theologians in the Universitas Iuristarum?
Is there evidence for this claim? The leading historian of the theology faculty, Antonino Poppi, has argued that the universitas theologorum was relatively autonomous. When theologians were participants in the public "gymnasium", they were part of the arts faculty... So, where is this claim coming from? Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cyrusrex1545 (talk • contribs) 00:15, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Venetian name?
Is this relevant? Venetian language is a local dialect without any official role. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.0.122.153 (talk) 00:18, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

yes it's relevant, Venice took over the area and controlled the University in the Late Medieval period it's rather amazing that the article doesn't even mention that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.73.19.153 (talk) 17:57, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

Official logo
The "Web logo" published inside the article is not the official one of the University of Padua. Can anybody replace it with the official logo? It can be easily found in the Italian Wikipedia: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Logo_Universit%C3%A0_Padova.png — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.152.175.156 (talk) 16:44, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Departments instead of faculties
The italian university system was reformed in 2011 by former italian government. the faculties are no longer included in the organization of the universities. the university of Padua is the first italian university to be upgraded to the current system, and is now organized in departments instead of faculties due to be more research-friendly. source: http://www.unipd.it/en/research/departments LAUD (talk) 10:39, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

Copernicus
It would be interesting to put that Copernicus actually studied there from 1501- 1503, where he learned about medicine. Alexnicolejones (talk) 22:56, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
