“…Portoguenses they called themselves, NUNC ET SEMPER. Their principle in life would be: Fiat amicitia inter nos (friendship be between us)! Their splendor in the art of never paying together with the principle of gentlemanly acting in the form of the “fregatio stultorum” (foolish people duping..). In the Tavern named Murago where they met drinking hectoliters of fine wine, they baptized the new Order with the name of: Optatissimus Aetereus Magnificentissimus Goliardicus Portoguensis Orbis Magnus Ordo; Their blazon would be a red apple and the initials of the name, always remembering that the apple had been cause of terrible events (apple of Adam and Eve; apple of discord and consequent war of Troy, the apple of William Tell, the apples of the opening of the academic year 1966-67). The founders of the Order were:

Johannes Carolus Prior Primus alias ad seculum -omissis- III AEC

Johannes da le Bale Nere alias ad seculum -omissis- III ING

Vinicius Sulpicius alias ad seculum -omissis- III PHARM

Paulus Sceicco de Zagreb alias ad seculum -omissis- II AEC

Lorenzo il Mistico alias ad seculum -omissis- II PHARM

Brunus Aeconomus Cesellator alias ad seculum -omissis- I AEC

Johannes da le Bale Nere was the only one who had any experience of Order at all, since he came from the Order of the Clerici Vagantes.
Lets now start the history of the Order, academic year per academic year, P.O.M.O. year per P.O.M.O. Year, from one September to the other…”
