livres.)--Guizot, ibid., I., 62.--This college was maintained during
the revolution under the name of the "Prytanee Francais" and received
in 1800 the property of the University of Louvain. Many of its pupils
enlisted in 1792, and were promised that their scholarships should be
retained for them on their return; hence the military spirit of the
"Prytanee."--By virtue of a decree, March 5, 1806, a perpetual income of
400,000 francs was transferred to the Prytanee de Saint-Cyr. It is this
income which, by the decree of March 24, 1808, becomes the endowment
of the imperial University. Henceforth, the expenses of the Prytanee de
Saint-Cyr are assigned to the war department.]
