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 it is best 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.
