[257] Magdalene, S. Catherine’s, Downing, Queens’, Peterhouse, Corpus, and Trinity Hall are the small and least wealthy colleges, and in this order. All the others have a gross income of over £10,000 a year. The income of all the colleges is published annually in Whitaker. [258] University College contributed £50. [259] See p. 167. [260] A man’s university and the faculty in which he has graduated are shown by the hood: the Cambridge master’s hood is black silk lined with white silk; the bachelor’s black stuff hood is trimmed with white rabbit fur. The doctors in the three faculties wear scarlet silk hoods lined with pink and violet shot silk (_D.D._), cherry silk (_LL.D._) and magenta silk (_M.D._). _B.D.’s_ wear a hood of black silk inside and out; _LL.M.’s_ wear an _M.A.’s_ hood; _LL.B.’s_, a _B.A.’s_ hood; _M.B.’s_ a black hood lined with scarlet. The _Mus.Doc._ wears a brocaded hood lined with cherry satin; _Mus.Bac._ black silk lined with cherry silk and trimmed with rabbit fur; _Litt.D._ scarlet silk inside and out; _D.Sc._ scarlet, lined with shot pink and light blue silk. [261] Thus the _knight bachelor_ is one enjoying the titular degree and rank of knighthood, without membership of any knightly order, to the companionship of which he is supposed to be an aspirant. [262] The study of sophistry or dialectic, which preceded Aristotle’s analytical logic. [263] Junior and senior sophister and bachelor: Fuller writing of Northampton says: “But this university never lived to commence Bachelor of Art, Senior Sophister was all the standing it attained unto. For, four years after,” etc. On tutors’ bills a century ago the style of _dominus_ was always given to bachelors, that of “Mr.” to masters; the undergraduate had to be content with “freshman” or “sophister.” The bachelors are still designated _dominus_ in the degree lists; a style which reminds us of the clerical “dan” of Chaucer’s time, and the Scotch “dominie” for a schoolmaster. For the degree ceremonies and processions see _Peacock_, _Appendix A_. [264] Regent: _regere_ like _legere_, to teach; cf. the _doctores legentes_ and _non-legentes_ of Bologna: _regere scholas_, and _officium regendi_ occur in Bury school records, xii c. (Brit. Mus. Add. MSS. 14,848, fol. 136). A congregation of the Cambridge masters, regents and non-regents, met in S. Mary’s church as early as 1275. [265] It must be realised that the degree in arts always differed from degrees in theology law and medicine inasmuch as these latter implied competence to exercise the corresponding professions. There was no such corresponding profession in the case of arts, except that of the schoolmaster. The clergyman, lawyer, or doctor at least exercised himself in these subjects, but the “artist” unless he was a regent-master, or a _magister scholarum_ elsewhere, left his studies when he left his university.
