Seelos begins attendance at Ludwig-Maximilian University at Munich, where he studies philosophy and, briefly, theology. In addition to singing and playing his violin, he also learns to fence and to dance, as is considered fitting for the formation of a well-educated young man of university status. His fellow student and friend, Anton Schirsner, said, “He liked to sing, and during the sung Mass he let his voice have full sway. Sometimes I said to him, ‘Seelos, don’t shout so loud,’ but to no avail. He didn’t pay any attention to me; he was completely carried away by the enthusiasm of his soul.” | Shown above, line engraving of Ludwig-Maximilian University at Munich by Gustav Seebergerafter. c 1840.
