President Abbot

Famous quotes containing the words president and/or abbot:

“In a large university, there are as many deans and executive heads as there are schools and departments. Their relations to one another are intricate and periodic; in fact, “galaxy” is too loose a term: it is a planetarium of deans with the President of the University as a central sun. One can see eclipses, inner systems, and oppositions.”
—Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)

“For and if thou canst answer my questions three,
Thy life and thy living both saved shall be.”
—Unknown. King John and the Abbot of Canterbury (l. 75–76)
