Notes

On pp. 39-40 has a discussion of religious tolerance at Brown University, a school chartered by the Baptists. Jewish students, for instance, are welcomed and they have complete freedom to practice their religion. They "were formally exempted from the law which commanded, on penalty of expulsion, that no student should deny the divine authority of the Old and New Testaments."
