In this case the reference is a primary source that

*Provided* there is only one person in the world with that name, and
provided that the source actually does say they go to that university
rather than being, say, a bare list of names. Oh, hey! It's a bare
list of names that doesn't actually say they are studying there.
Helloooo novel synthesis :o)
