In dNetHack, notdNetHack and notnotdNetHack, The College is the lawful god of the Undead Hunter pantheon.

Description

The choir is a lawful god of neutral holiness, and has no minions. It is the god of Undead Hunter reanimation but isn't a deity in most regards, and is referred to as "the philosophy of the college". It cannot be prayed to, angered, and won't have a high altar aligned to it present on the Astral Plane, instead being replaced by a high altar to Ptah. Undead Hunters cannot crown under the college, and it has no crowning gift associated to it.

You have made a breakthrough in the philosophy of the college!

You obtained enough reanimation upgrades as an Undead Hunter to qualify for a full-scoring ascension.

You are ready to conduct another experiment into the great animating thoughts pursued by the college.
Use your portable electrode while standing at a workbench-altar to the college.

Hint given in the self-inspect menu when a new reanimation upgrade can be obtained.
