[266] “The Tripos is a paper containing the names of the principal graduates for the year. It also contains 2 copies of verses written by two of the undergraduates, who are appointed to that employment by the proctors.“--Dyer. An extract from one of these sets of tripos verses is given in Dyer, _Hist. Camb._ ii. 89. [267] It was at this time that the moderators were substituted for the proctors, see p. 183. [268] pp. 168, 169. [269] Cf. p. 189, the lecture. [270] The derivation is Prof. Skeat’s. [271] The school of glomery was nourishing in 1452 (Ely Register _anno_ 1452); but a few years previously, when the statutes of King’s College were written, it was understood that grammar would be studied at Eton not at Cambridge. A century later (1549) the parliamentary commissioners introduced mathematics into the _trivium_ where it replaced grammar. A school of grammar existed at the university side by side with the school of glomery [see the provision for the teaching of grammar at God’s House (below) and Peterhouse and Clare p. 153 of the last chapter]. As late as 1500 there was a _magister grammaticae_ and a _magister glomeriae_, who, _in ejus defectu_, is represented by proctors (_Stat. Cant._). “The Master of Grammar shall be browght by the Bedyll to the Place where the Master of Glomerye dwellyth, at iij of the Clocke, and the Master of Glomerye shall go before, and his eldest son nexte him.” A.D. 1591 (_Stokys in G. Peacock_). By Fuller’s time the master of glomery had ceased to exist. His work seems to have resembled the preparatory work of the Previous Examinations at the university to-day.
