DISCIPLINE AND RELIGIOUS WORSHIP.

Morality and Religion are recognized as the foundation and indispensable concomitants
of education. The discipline of the University 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 having proved
that the best way to effect this result is to forbear the employment of coercion, the
attendance on religious exercises is entirely voluntary. Prayers are held every
morning in the chapel, and divine service is conducted twice on Sunday by a Chaplain,
selected in turn from the principal religious denominations.
