Officers of the University are to enter at the north door of the Chapel and students at the south door. The service in open to outsider as well as to student of the University...
...peace, but none of them have succeeded. The new Covenant may be faulty, but it may, if properly drawn up, abolish the curse of war.

The general examination is a much more adequate gauge of a man's knowledge of his subject than a series of tests at the end of each course. The latter are specific and detailed; a student may cram his head full of facts and pass them, but promptly forget all he has learned.
