'You need not be afraid, said I, addressing myself to the man, 'I mean you no harm; I am a wanderer like yourself come here to seek for shelter you need not be afraid; I am a Roman chabo by matriculation one of the right sort, and no mistake Good-day to ye, brother; I bid ye welcome.
A story is told of the time before the line to Oxford from Wolverhampton and Worcester was built, when persons visiting Oxford from the Vale of Evesham had to travel by road. An old yeoman family, having decided upon the Church as the vocation for one of the sons, sent him, in the year 1818, on an old pony, under the protection of an ancient retainer for his matriculation examination.
Before the matriculation she was always so tired because of the frightful grind, but that is over now, and I never do any work in the holidays. What are holidays for?

That was democratic, the consent of the community; this is autocratic, the authority conferred by a head, superior to, and outside of the community. Matriculation examinations at any rate were in those happy days unknown.
