"What is the University? It is what you may call a castle manned by learning and scholarship. Or a vicious and permanent dog-fight between Benthic College and Summerset College."
"Fallen London's two colleges, Benthic and Summerset, enjoy a healthy rivalry. They play team sports with each other. They play pranks on each other. On certain days of the year, they play trumpets and French horns at each other." (Like the Oxford-Cambridge boat race. But with trumpets.)
The University, Fallen London's bastion of knowledge, is otherwise known as King's and University College.
Summerset
"What's Summerset College like? A place of indolent privilege. Minor nobles rub shoulders with the black-gowned children of clergy, parliamentarians and lawyers in its peaceful quadrangles."
Summerset is the more well-bred side of the University, typically comprised of the children of higher society, clergy, lawyers, and officials. It does not allow the soulless in.
The Provost of Summerset is a devil, who takes great care to file down his horns and teeth.
Benthic
"What's it like at Benthic College? Eager young radicals throng the halls. Students flaunt their tolerance and diversity; friendships with devils are highly prized. Revolutionaries infest the eaves. The soul trade thrives."
Benthic, the lower-bred college, is more accepting; it allows the soulless, devils, revolutionaries, and children of poor families to enter. Its more tolerant researchers may also exchange items of value with those who've been formally banned from the university.
