Upsala

/ ˈʌpsɑːlə /

noun

One Christmas I was invited to hunt with a fellow-student a little way out of Upsala.

He studied at Upsala, turned his attention to medicine and natural history, and was a friend of Linnus.

He returned to Strassburg in 1637, and in 1642 was appointed professor of eloquence at Upsala.

In 1650 he resumed his professorship at Upsala, but early in the following year he was obliged to resign on account of ill-health.

This time love saw things that the learned men of Upsala failed to discover—their diagnosis was wrong.
