  A Register of the Students, Graduates, Professors, and
  Provosts of Trinity College, In the University of Dublin.
  Edited by the Late George Dames Burtchaell and Thomas
  Ulick Sadleir. 1924

      Most students entered college as Pensioners. In other
    words, they paid a fixed sum annually. The other two
    categories were: Sizar and Fellow Commoners (Socii
    Comitates). Sizars were "allowed free education in
    consideration of performing certain, at one time menial,
    duties"; Fellow Commoners paid double fees and enjoyed
    several privileges, including that of finishing the
    College course in three years instead of four. "Sizards
    were sons of poor parents, frequently the clergy"

    In parantheses "The name of the school, or more frequently
    the Schoolmaster, which is given in parentheses in each
    entry, is an item of importance. It is rarely omitted ,
    and even where other details are wanting, it frequently
    enables one to fix the student's identity." There is a
    section of the book which lists school masters but not the
    dates they taught.

    Between 1669 and 1770 the academic year started on 9th
    July. The age given was frequently the age at next
    birthday since the "Annum Agens" format of giving ages was
    commonly used.
