TRIPOSES, OR, LISTS of those who have obtained HONORS on commencing BACHELORS of ARTS; with the names of the MODERATORS of the respective years. ON the Tripos papers originally published, the names of the Honors, till the year 1755, seldom appeared; and in the Registrary's book, where all degrees, in the order of seniority, are inserted, no mark of distinction was ever observed, previous to that time, between the Wranglers and the Senior Optimes.-As it was formerly the custom for the Vice-Chancellor and Proctors to confer Honorary Senior Optimes, a mark of distinction not then unfrequently conferred upon Wranglers, the regular order of previous years cannot be precisely ascertained, especially as these Honorary degrees were placed ad libitum. The years 1752 and 1753 are copies from the Registrary's book of Entry. The year 1754 was arranged according to the wrangling paper. The custom of conferring Honorary Senior Optimes has for some years past been abolished. The Chancellor's Medals were first instituted in 1752; (A) denotes senior, (B) junior. Dr Smith's Mathematical Prizes were founded in 1769; (1) denotes senior, (2) junior. The Classical Tripos was instituted in 1824; a affixed to a name in the Mathematical Tripos denotes that the person was in the first class of the Classical Tripos, 6 in second, y in the third. |
