Although it may seem the same to you, it isn't at all the same thing, sorry to say. Peter Robinson College is a College WITHIN Trent University. When one becomes a student at Trent, one is assigned to a college depending on whether one lives on campus or off-campus. As it happened, being as I was in a state of concubinage with my then future wife at the time, we were living off-campus, so I was assigned to the off-campus men's college which was Peter Robinson. It's modelled on the British system (Arrogance alert! Arrogance alert!) of colleges such as Magdalen College at Oxford and Trinity College at University of Toronto. These are not educational institutions, they are residential and social bodies within the overall framework of a University. I guess the closest you have to these university colleges would be fraternities (and sororities), except we don't have the wierd three greek letter thingies (Arrogance alert! Arrogance alert!) or pledges or hazings or any of those things. -- "Compassion is the chief law of human existence." Dostoevski, The Idiot |

So, no it's not the same thing. "College\collège" means many things in Canada, some relating to places of learning, some not, but unless it's a specific part of the name (as in the case of Collège Saint-Jean at the University of Alberta), it doesn't mean university. -- "Compassion is the chief law of human existence."

Ah, yes, but which country? :-) My beloved local Vietnamese place here puts the "Squid" brand nuoc mam on the table. It is produced in Vietnam, is said to be one of the best and is that same "extra virgin" fish sauce, obtained from the first draining. It is transparent and almost colourless. I like it, but not being a connoisseur of fish sauce, I don't know if it is really one of the best. Victor |

What I call a dorm is a building with rooms to sleep in. A college (in that sense of the word) is a social organization which includes sleeping quarters for some. The fact that I was a fellow of Peter Robinson College but that I did not reside there should have clued you in that it isn't primarily an arrangement for sleeping quarters. Of course, it could be you're just being difficult :-) (arrogance alert! arrogance alert!) Nota bene: I'm guessing as to what could be conceived as arrogant and may be wide of the mark (no one should ever underestimate the ability of others to draw erroneous conclusions or misunderstand the most innocuous statement), and so I am trying to assist those oh so tender souls to steer clear of possibly offensive statements that I may inadvertently make in the course of a simple yet pithy conversation.

Ah, I see...so it wasn't what I thought it was, it was something I have a. used many times before (you can check) when referring to upper level education in the US (not intended as a slight, believe it or not, but as a differentiation), and b. you were purposefully not clear in your statement that you were "offended" by what I wrote, not to mention that you lowered yourself to ad hominems and the usual low-brow suggestions of deportation. So, to begin, let me apologize sincerely if the term kawlidge has offended you; I will refrain from using it in future. I thought that over the years my point was clear but that is obviously not the case. However, let me say there is a difference in pronunciation to my ear. After all, most USAians have an accent and I don't :-) You however have been vindictive and made unwarranted nasty remarks which will take more than a simple apology to erase. And yes, I am speaking to you, Carol. Now, it's possible that you don't care to apologize in which case I suggest we stop any pretense of civility, but I leave that decision up to you. -- "Compassion is the chief law of human existence."

So, no it's not the same thing. Just curious - was Peter Robinson College a residential college? I know that at Uni of Sydney, there are a number of residential colleges. They're privately owned and operated, and some are affiliated with particular religions (though anyone can join them). Basically they offer on campus accommodation, recreation/sporting opportunities, probably have study rooms etc. Lots of tradition, too, with some of them - I spent a year and a bit at Sydney Uni (before leaving and going off to a different course elsewhere). I vaguely remember first year students at St Andrews College (which I think was men only at that time, though it isn't now) carrying a brick around with them everywhere they went. Here - found a bit about the residential colleges on the uni website - is this the sort of thing you meant by the men's and women's colleges at Trent University? http://www.usyd.edu.au/stuserv/accom...modation/oncam p.shtml Rhonda Anderson Cranebrook,NSW, Australia |

> Just curious - was Peter Robinson College a residential college? There were some residential accomodations but as I pointed out, PR was for off-campus students. Some of the colleges, the ones on campus, were definitely residential. Obviously, if you were in residence, you were in residence at a college. Each college is associated with specific activities but I never paid any attention to those and the only thing I ever did at the college was to go with my wife to the Christmas dinner. Colleges have principals, tutors and dons and I gather disciplinary actions are taken by colleges, not the university administration. However, that was never a problem, so I never actually had much to do with the college (barring the aforementioned Christmas dinner) and only needed to go there to see my academic advisor, which happened twice. > Here - found a bit about the residential colleges on the uni website - is > this the sort of thing you meant by the men's and women's colleges at > Trent University? > > http://www.usyd.edu.au/stuserv/accom...modation/oncam > p.shtml Here's the blurb from Trent. "Each College is an intellectual and social neighborhood -- a centre of academic and social activity, housing professors' offices, small lecture halls and seminar rooms. The Colleges sponsor visits by scholars, writers and public figures, and organize lecture series, seminars, concerts, films, dances and pub nights." http://www.trentu.ca/colleges/ It would appear that Peter Robinson College has either disappeared or been renamed. Here is a page from 2002: http://www.trentu.ca/colleges/robinson.html When my stepson was at Trinity at the University of Toronto, the writer in residence was Mordechai Richler.

I read that post of yours after I'd posted, unfortunately. It's obviously a different system - as you pointed out, modelled after the English one, whereas the system at Sydney Uni isn't (at least, not now - I don't know if it ever was).With yours, all students were appointed to a college (if I'm remembering your post correctly), whereas at Sydney they are primarily residences, and not all students are associated with a college - it would be a minority, actually.

Words mean different things in different places. That doesn't necessarily mean that people in other areas are dumb because they use words differently than you use locally. Furthermore, you are using Quebec as an example. Many people in Quebec don't feel that it is part of Canada, and people in other parts of Canada aren't sure that Quebec is part of Canada either. According to my dictionary, the French use "college" differently than other people: col€lege (kÄl2¾j) n. Abbr. col. coll. 1. a. An institution of higher learning that grants the bachelor's degree in liberal arts or science or both. b. An undergraduate division or school of a university offering courses and granting degrees in a particular field. c. A school, sometimes but not always a university, offering special instruction in professional or technical subjects. d. The students, faculty, and administration of such a school or institution. e.

[ Middle English universite from Old French from Medieval Latin ñniversitEs from Latin the whole, a corporate body from ñniversus whole; See universe ] Sometime before I started work here at SSU (back almost before recorded history) it was called Sonoma State College. Sometime after then, I found out that the three state colleges in my home state had been renamed to universities. In the case of SSU, I believe it had to do with the increased number of graduate degrees offered. -- Dan Abel Sonoma State University AIS |

I've used this recipe many times, and it has always turned out - (it won me second prize in the banana cake class at Penrith Show last year). The worst problem I've had is a little sticking to the bottom of the tin when I didn't line the base. I leave bananas to get as overripe and squishy as possible before using them in this. Simple Banana Cake Source: Stephanie Alexander, The Cook's Companion 125g softened unsalted butter 1 1/2 cups sugar 2 eggs 1 cup mashed ripe banana few drops pure vanilla 250g plain flour 1 teaspoon bicarb soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice 1/2 cup buttermilk or 1/2 cup milk with 1 teaspoon lemon juice Butter and flour 20cm square cake tin, then line base with baking paper. Preheat oven to 180C. Cream butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Beat in eggs, banana and vanilla. Sift dry ingredients and add to mixture, alternating with buttermilk. Spoon into tin and bake for 45 minutes or until cake tests clean. Cool cake in its tin on a wire rack for a few minutes before turning out. Cool completely before cutting or storing in an airtight tin. Notes: 1 cup = 250ml The following topping option is given in the book. I've never used it. I either top the batter with crushed walnuts only, or leave it plain. Walnut and brown sugar topping - combine 3 tablespoons coarsely chopped walnuts, 3 tablespoons self-raising flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 100g softened butter and 3 tablespoons brown sugar. Scatter over the uncooked banana cake and bake as above. Rhonda Anderson Cranebrook, NSW, Australia |

Damsel
Many of us not from Texas know that chili is not necessarily made with beans. Thus, as the poster said, one can order Chili, or Chili with beans. The beans may be a given in your world, but your world is not the world in general - only a very small patch. Thus it is important to define foods specifically as well as generally.
