One of the-many absurdities existing »t Oxford up to fifteen years ago was a “ Grand Compounder.” The name waa given to an under-graduate who had £500 a year in Ms own right, and the rule waa that he must, iu taking Ms de gree, pay some which others, j lUst, iu taking M sry bea-vy fees, matter bow wealthy their parents, or how large their expec tations, were exempt. This state of things might have gone on for many years longer than it -did but that a re former discovered that a Grand Com pounder, though compelled to pay three outrageous fees, could, on the other hand, compel all the dignitaries of th© university to attend, when he took his degree. So the reforming party begged a young gentleman named Baxendaie to take the audacious step. The authori ties were aghast. Such a thing had nev er been heard of. They looked up the ancient statute; there i t was iu black and white, and there was no way of g e t ting out of ijt. when ;Baxendale’© de gree day eame,'^‘tha \Viee-Ohancellor .in his robes, attended by his “pokers,” as the mace bearers are irreverently called, the proctors in their velvet-sleeve^ gowns, and all the other university offi cers, had solemnly -to esc6rt the Grand Compounder to receive his degree.
