  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.
