Other mistake: Clayboy is rejected for a ministerial scholarship because he has no Latin. The dean tells Clay that if Clayboy can get a credit in Latin, he can select his own course of study, but without a scholarship. However, if Clayboy is going to study for a field other than the ministry, he shouldn't need to know Latin.
