Anton Gaudí, already an old man, confessed that he had not been an ideal student at School of Architecture and, therefore, he considered justified the pumpkins that he obtained in the examinations. "I was not a pupil model. My temperament did not let for me listen to the lessons of the teachers who, from need of the plans of the subjects, abounded in abstract matters. I do not censor the task of the teachers, in general. I limit to setting forth the fact that suns when they explained concrete matters I knew to listen them. Of this it came that I attended the classes little and I seldom knew the complete program of the subjects. I was a undisciplined and, therefore, in good school logic, my qualifications of course end could not be, how often it were not, even from much, very brilliant. Luck, still, I had of Mr. Joan Torras, who defended me in all the courts of examination where he was."
