Education, like almost everything else in Russia, is under government control, and the Moscow University forms no exception to the rule. It is under the supervision of the Ministry of Education who appoint the president and confirm the instructors. The Russian government must be credited, in this case at least, with making a good and judicious use of its power. The report of the Ministry of Education for 1882 showed the number of instructors to be about 330, and of students in all the departments, law, medicine, etc., to be about 2,400. These figures of themselves exhibit the importance...
...colors are a considerable attraction at all the great matches, and the students would be loath to see the day when they would be no longer able to bring them. As to chaperones, we can only repeat our former assertion that they are decidedly the exception, and not the rule, by any means...
...come shambling into the college yard in hopes of getting a chance at "shacking."

You may oftenest find him in a beer-shop, discussing obstruse, metaphysical problems through clouds of tobacco smoke...
...including masters and fellows, the attendance has now increased to 850 scholars alone, and the roll of instructors equals many a small college. As in the case of most of the large English schools, all the governing power was first centered in the provost and masters, but this absolute rule was soon changed by an act of Parliament ; and now, in Eton, as in all other schools of its kind, the fellows must be chosen from Oxford, Cambridge, and the Royal Society...
