MORALITY AND RELIGION.

These are recognised as the foundation and indispensable concomitants
of education. The discipline is sedulously administered with a
view to confirm integrity and to maintain a sacred regard for truth.
Great efforts are made to surround the students with religious
influences; but experience has proved that the best way to effect this
result is to forbear the employment of coercion, and the attendance
on religious exercises is entirely voluntary. Prayers are held every
morning in the chapel, and divine service is performed on Sunday by
a chaplain selected in turn from the principal religious denominations.
