Raffles Institution Lane is a lane leading from Bishan Street 21 to the shared entrance of Raffles Institution (Secondary) and Raffles Institution (Junior College).
The nearest Mass Rapid Transit station is Marymount.
It was formerly known as Bishan Lane, but was later changed to its current name, Raffles Institution Lane, after school authorities asked the Government to give them a more "special" name.
Famous quotes containing the words institution and/or lane:
“The institution of the family is decisive in determining not only if a person has the capacity to love another individual but in the larger social sense whether he is capable of loving his fellow men collectively. The whole of society rests on this foundation for stability, understanding and social peace.”
—Daniel Patrick Moynihan (20th century)
“Life is a thin narrowness of taken-for-granted, a plank over a canyon in a fog. There is something under our feet, the taken-for-granted. A table is a table, food is food, we are we—because we don’t question these things. And science is the enemy because it is the questioner. Faith saves our souls alive by giving us a universe of the taken-for-granted.”
—Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1968)
