Meanwhile, academic life continued to display vitality, as can be seen in the minutes of the session on 4 September. They show that, on that date, the President of the Republic had already been presented with "... the first three published volumes... and the medal commemorating its foundation, by which act the Royal Academy of History was revived...". At the same session, chaired by Caeiro da Mata, he mentioned, as may be read in the respective minutes, "...the exceptional significance of how the President of the Council of Ministers had received copies of the same volumes and the aforementioned medal. Likewise, the Minister of National Education expressed words of praise for the Academy's activity, which pleased him greatly, as he had had the good fortune of being its resurrector". On 23 October, another step was taken towards normalising the institution and its academics by approving a diploma and an identity card.
