    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.
