College,伊顿公学室内乐团,校长：托尼,里特先生,伊顿公学为不同职位、不同等级、不同荣誉的获得者设计了不同着装。伊顿的校服类似绅士的黑色燕尾服、白色衬衫、圆领扣、黑色的马甲、长裤和皮鞋。这套行头就要,700,英镑（,7000RMB,），加上配套的成打衬衫、领带等，装扮一个伊顿人，至少要好几千英镑。在黑色燕尾服中，有一些带披风的，那是国王奖学金获得者的标志。有些穿不同颜色马甲的，是伊顿,5,年级的“明日之星”，他们是从所有获奖者中选出的佼佼者。如果配有银色扣子，则代表最高级别的优秀学生，他们有权参与学校政务。,Oxford University,餐厅,1168,年，牛津大学成立。,1209,年，牛津一位学生练习射箭，误杀了镇上一名妇女，引发了一场,骚乱,。愤怒的牛津市民抓了两个无辜的老师严刑拷打，从而引发冲突。结果师生们被市民追杀得四处逃窜。,12,名牛津师生流落到剑桥，被伊利主教收容。之后，其它地方的一些学者也慕名而来，一所新的大学逐渐建立起来，就是剑桥大学。,学校的管理是很严格的。每,10,个学生学校配一名校工，照顾学生，替他们整理床铺、打扫房间；除此之外，还负责早晨叫醒睡懒觉的学生，检查学生是否去上课。,Cambridge University,中世纪风格,叹息桥,剑桥轶事,“,使徒会”,剑桥的“使徒会”由三一学院和国王学院的最优秀的名成员所组成，这些人不仅要绝顶聪明，而且要出身显赫，每一个人都注定会成为英国统治阶层中的一员。他们每周六在一处秘密会所聚会，讨论范围从哲学、美学到政治、商业。他们有自己严格的清规戒律，同时也蔑视社会的普通道德，他们自认为拥有人类最智慧的头脑，他们认为自己天生就是世界的统治者，并相互之间反复灌输这一信念。凯恩斯在写给一位朋友的信中这样说道：“我们这种道德上的优越感是不是有些自大狂？我有一种感觉，这个世界上的绝大多数人从来就看不见任何事物（的本质）（因为）他们太愚蠢，或者是太邪恶。”在这个圈子里，除了凯恩思和著名哲学家罗素这样的学者型精英，还包括罗斯切尔德男爵这样的金融巨头。离开剑桥之后，每周六仍然参加“使徒会”秘密会议的成年使徒被称为“天使”，他们积极参与选拔新使徒和其它活动。,哈佛大学,全球最多亿万富豪就读的大学,前身,建桥学院,哈佛大学的毕业生中共有八位曾当选为,美国总统,。,哈佛,34,名,诺贝尔奖,得主。,哈佛早期的,校训,是“察验真理”,(Veritas 1643,年,),、,“荣耀归于基督”,(In Christ Gloriam 1650),，,以及“为基督,为教会”,(Christo et Ecclesiae 1692,年,),。,哈佛的校训是“与柏拉图为友，与亚里士多德为友，与真理为友”,当年哈佛先生并未留下照片，后来建雕像时，就按照人们的想像，找来一个年轻英俊的小伙子来作模特儿。,校门,
