Examination statute.
AUTHOR/CREATOR
Dodgson, Charles
CREATED/PUBLISHED
February 1864
NOTES
Privately printed circular, issued to Oxford University Common Rooms. Dodgson recorded in his diary for February 1, 1864: "Invented and wrote out (with a suggestion or two from Bayne) a squib on the division of tomorrow (about the New Examination Statute) consisting of an alphabetical list of the names of voters and others, with the names left blank." Dodgson objected to the proposal put forward in the New Statute dated February 2, 1864, that candidates reading for a degree in science would be allowed to omit classics after Moderations (end of their first year of study). This piece consists of thirteen rhyming couplets and includes the names of nineteen members of the University indicated only by a series of dots representing each letter in their name. Bayne's copy identified the missing names. The complete list is given in Oxford Pamphlets, pp. 5-7.
