"This place is the Devil, or at least his principal residence, they call it the University, but any other appellation would have suited it much better, for study is the last pursuit of the society; the Master eats, drinks, and sleeps, the Fellows drink, dispute and pun, the
employments
of the undergraduates you will probably conjecture without my description."
-George Gordon Noel Byron
