School of Clerkship

This sprawling campus is second only to Grey College in size and history, though it offers a very different program of studies. Its campus does not have the park-like atmosphere of its cousin on the other side of Clerkburg, nor do its buildings convey the grandeur of Grey College’s Hall of Deans. But the School of Clerkship serves a student body nearly as large as Grey College’s. Graduating classes tend to be larger than at Grey’s, since most students take but a two-year course of study here. Four- and six-year programs are available for aspiring sages or master moneychangers.
A year of tuition here costs only about two-thirds of the cost of a comparable year at Grey College. The School of Clerkship, of course, does not offer the abundance of choice that its rival does, but its teaching in its selected fields is unsurpassed.
The school is indeed a college, but it has clung to its original name for misguided reasons of tradition. In a sense the name reflects the feeling of inferiority that seems to pervade the entire student body. They regularly compete with Grey College, the Bardschool, and various fraternities in the events at the arena; just as regularly, the School of Clerkship loses nearly every competition.
But academics is where this college surpasses every other. The Clerkship curriculum offers its basic program in Inscription (which qualifies one to work as a scribe) to all of its students, teaching them in two years all the finer points of dictation. penmanship, style, and accuracy.
