It was important to keep the chapel up to date, because Jordan College had no rival, either in Europe or in New France, as a center of experimental theology. Lyra knew that much,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], at least. She was proud of her College's eminence, and liked to boast of it to the various urchins and ragamuffins she played with by the canal or the claybeds; and she regarded visiting Scholars and eminent professors from elsewhere with pitying scorn, because they didn't belong to Jordan and so must know less, poor things, than the humblest of Jordan's under-Scholars.
As for what experimental theology was, Lyra had no more idea than the urchins. She had formed the notion that it was concerned with magic,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with the movements of the stars and planets, with tiny particles of matter, but that was guesswork, really. Probably the stars had daemons just as humans did,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and experimental theology involved talking to them. Lyra imagined the Chaplain speaking loftily,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], listening to the star daemons' remarks, and then nodding judiciously or shaking his head in regret. But what might be passing between them, she couldn't conceive.
