Two Christian Hungarian students fought a duel over the numerus clausus question.

One of the students who fought the duel was among those who, during the recent strike proclaimed by the students organization in protest against the goverment bill,ignored the strike call and attended his lectures in the medical college. He was attacked by one of the strikers for ignoring the call. The faithful student thereupon challenged teh other to a duel in which the striker was injured.
