Note 101 — XIII THE RELATIONS OF LAW AND RELIGION

Place of birth constituted an important basis of classification in mediaeval Universities. In Oxford, as in Paris, the students were divided into the Northern and Southern nations (whence the two Proctors), and in each of the Universities of Glasgow and Aberdeen there are still four Nations, a system of organization preserved for the purposes of the election of a Lord Rector. Nations exist also in the University of Upsala.
