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.
