Throughout a daily routine steeped in prayers, rules and traditions, the pupils of the Petit Séminaire learned to recite Latin declensions, handle test tubes and grasp the law of gravity. The priests taught them self-discipline, as they would soon become the elite of society. In the shade of the great elm tree in the centre of the courtyard, they argued, shared their dreams and their fears, and played hockey. Full of curiosity and ambition, they fervently expressed their opinions in l'Abeille to better their understanding of the world and its impulses. The physics laboratories, the collections of the Seminary and the proximity of the university stimulated their interests and fired their imaginations, preparing them for the adult world and for public life.
