→Years as scholar in Wittenberg: fix form of title
On February 27, 1507, after two years in the Monastery, Luther was ordained a Roman-Catholic priest. In later life he recounted how wonderfully awesome an experience his first celebration of Mass as a Roman-Catholic priest was. In the fall of 1508, his Monastery superior Johann von Staupitz requested that Luther begin graduate studies in theology at the then new University of Wittenberg. Sometime after 1509, Luther was sent to Rome on monastic business and became disappointed by what he saw as a teribble worldliness.<ref name=Jones/>

In October 1512, Luther received a doctorate of theology from the University of Wittenberg and soon after assumed a Wittenberg professorship in Bible studies endowed by his Augustinian order. Lecture notes exist for courses he taught, including ''Psalms'' (1513-1515 and 1519), ''Romans'' (1515-1516), ''Galatians'' (1516-1517), and ''Hebrews'' (1517-1518). During this time Luther rose to the level of district vicar of his Roman-Catholic Augustian Order in 1515, later even overseeing the administration of Augustianian monasteries in Saxony. <ref name=Jones/>
