Conventor
Konventor, is a name for a college leader or the rector of a Burse of the artist faculty of the universities of Vienna , Freiburg , Ingolstadt and Trier in the Middle Ages. In Mainz and Cologne they were called regentes , in Erfurt and Tübingen also rector bursae . The name is derived from the convent that the monks formed in the monastery. In the Burse, the scholars were also divided into groups and placed under a convent that studied in higher faculties, such as medicine, law or theology. You were a member of the faculty council. They elected an economist from among them, who administered the burse's income and expenses and had to give account to the respective convent with supervisory duties. In return he had free board and lodging in the Burse and was paid for by the university. He was allowed to resign after six months or a year.
The task of the convents was to give lessons, to guide the Burse domestic community both with regard to teaching and the general way of life, and to monitor their regularity. In principle, they had to live in the colleges and take their meals together with the other masters and pupils.
