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:
“Every institution not only carries within it the seeds of its own dissolution, but prepares the way for its most hated rival.”
—W.R. (William Ralph)
“We joined long wagon trains moving south; we met hundreds of wagons going north; the roads east and west were crawling lines of families traveling under canvas, looking for work, for another foothold somewhere on the land.... The country was ruined, the whole world was ruined; nothing like this had ever happened before. There was no hope, but everyone felt the courage of despair.”
—Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1968)
