...must be remembered, too, that though a student in College may elect several courses in Greek and Latin, he is limited to but one in French and German each. An exception, however, was made in favor of those absent last year by allowing them to substitute a modern language for anticipated Philosophy...

At the proper time he both protected his Norman tools in front, by excommunicating Harold, and guarded their rear by satisfactory assurances that the French should not aggress upon their native territory. His gain was to be twofold; the favor conferred would bind...
