DISCIPLINE AND RELIGIOUS WORSHIP.

Morality and Religion are recognized as the foundation and indispensable concomitants of
education. The discipline of the University is sedulously administed 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.
