The ruins of the 18th century =Hôtel Lagoille de Courtagnon= may be seen at No. 71 of this street. It was destroyed by the bombardments of April, 1918, with the exception of a part of the front. The finely carved door and remarkable ironwork of the balcony are visible in the above photograph. [Illustration: ORNAMENTAL RAIN-WATER PIPE-HEAD OF LEAD UNDER THE ROOF OF THE HOSPICE NOËL CAQUÉ (_see p. 97_)] [Illustration: GALLO-ROMAN BAS-RELIEF _at No. 65, Rue de l'Université. This bas-relief and the one opposite, on the wall of the Lycée, are the last remaining vestiges of a Gallo-Roman gate_.] The =Hospice Noël Caqué= (formerly Hospice St. Marcoul), _on the right_, was seriously damaged by the bombardments of April, 1918. It dated from the middle of the 17th century, and was well preserved, with the exception of the chapel, rebuilt in 1873. _Take the Rue de Contrai, on the left, which leads to the_ Rue de l'Université. Inserted in the façade of the house at No. 65 (_on the right_), and in the wall of the Lycée (_on the left_), are two stone =bas-reliefs= ornamented with trophies of arms and Roman insignia, the sole remaining vestiges of the _Porte Basée_ (_from Basilea_) which formerly stood there on the Cæsarean way, at the southern extremity of the Gallo-Roman town. (_See photo above of the right-hand bas-relief._) [Illustration: THE FAÇADE OF THE LYCÉE DESTROYED BY THE BOMBARDMENTS] _Follow the Rue de l'Université and skirt the_ =Lycée de Garçons=, of which only the chapel and one of the buildings are left. The rest was burnt or destroyed by shell-fire. [Illustration: DOOR OF THE PETIT LYCÉE, _5, Rue Vauthier-le-Noir_. _On either side of the arcade are heads of "Jean qui rit" and "Jean qui pleure."_] The Lycée replaced the old _Collège des Bons Enfants_, founded in the Middle Ages, and rebuilt in the 16th century by the Cardinal de Lorraine, founder of the University of Rheims. Of the old _Collège_, only the central part remained, in the second court built by Archbishop Charles Maurice Le Tellier in 1686 and the following years. The gate of the _Cour des Etudes_ dates from 1688. The ancient door of the Collège--the tympana of whose arcading contain two laughing and crying heads--was transferred to the entrance of the _Petit Lycée_, at No. 5 of the street on the right of the Lycée (Rue Vauthier-le-Noir) (_photo above_). _Shortly after the Lycée, turn to the right into the Place Godinot, then take the Rue St. Pierre-les-Dames on the right._ At No. 8 are the ruins of the =Abbey of St. Pierre-les-Dames=.
