The university permits certain institutions to affiliate themselves 

 with it in order, through their influence, to favora})ly affect primary 

 and secondary schools, as well as colleges, with a view to raising them 

 to a higher level. This affiliation occurs in four forms — organic mem-

 and tentative affiliation.
