Admission into each institution is separate, and each institution has distinct admission criteria and requirements.

Famous quotes containing the words component and/or institutions:

    “... no one knows anything about a strike until he has seen it break down into its component parts of human beings.”
    —Mary Heaton Vorse (1874–1966)

    “You see how this House of Commons has begun to verify all the ill prophecies that were made of it—low, vulgar, meddling with everything, assuming universal competency, and flattering every base passion—and sneering at everything noble refined and truly national. The direct tyranny will come on by and by, after it shall have gratified the multitude with the spoil and ruin of the old institutions of the land.”
    —Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
