Note 259 — Chapter VI · CONVERSATION
George Herbert Ely translation
[The brilliant Bishop of Orleans (1802-1878), noted equally for his eloquence, his pugnacity, and the huge blue umbrella he carried on sunny days. It was said of him that he was “a journalist who had strayed into a bishopric.” He wrote Letters on the Education of Girls, and especially opposed the opening of university courses to girls: he did not wish them to go “from the bosom of the Church to the arms of the University.”]
