EDUCATION: The Sorbonne.

The University of Paris acquired the name of "the Sorbonne" "from Robert of Sorbon, aulic chaplain of St. Louis, who established one of the 63 colleges of the University. ... The name of Sorbonne was first applied to the theological faculty only; but at length the whole University received this designation."
