In this short scene, we are introduced to a new character, Mr.ruis, who is a student at the University of Tartuffe. He has just heard that a "blood servant" is about to enter the university's class, and he is very upset. He asks the other students if they have heard the rumor that the blood servant is the chancellor's favorite, and they all agree that it must be true. He tells them that they should calm down and that it is a unique situation for them to be at the university. He then tells the students that he has been called a "sissy boy" for allowing a "pathetic human" such as himself to attend the class. He says that the price he has paid for allowing such a pathetic human to attend his class is that he will not be able to survive in the university, and that if he wants to survive, he should transfer to another class.
