NUMBER OF STUDENTS
The Plan gives no clues as to the number of students to
be housed in these rooms. Each mansiuncula might have
been reserved for a single student. But it could easily have
accommodated two; with less comfort, three. The total
number of students, accordingly, would either have been
twelve, twenty-four, or thirty-six. Since the privy of the
Outer School has fifteen toilet seats, the normal number of
students is likely to have exceeded the minimum number
of twelve.
We have already discussed at sufficient length the fact
that the Plan does not tell us where the students ate their
meals and where their food was cooked.
