Fermat's
Last Students
Students at ETH talking to each other about mathematics, learning more than the lectures cover, researching things themselves and presenting them to each other.

Observatio Domini Petri de Fermat
Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et generaliter nullam in infinitum ultra quadratum potestatem in duos ejusdem nominis fas est dividere: cujus rei demonstrationem mirabilem sane detexi. Hanc marginis exiguitas non caperet.
Pierre de Fermat, c. 1637, in the margin of his Diophantus.
