Definitions for: Sizar






Webster (1913) Definition: Si"zar, n.
One of a body of students in the universities of Cambridge
(Eng.) and Dublin, who, having passed a certain examination,
are exempted from paying college fees and charges. A sizar
corresponded to a servitor at Oxford.

The sizar paid nothing for food and tuition, and very
little for lodging. --Macaulay.

Note: They formerly waited on the table at meals; but this is
done away with. They were probably so called from being
thus employed in distributing the size, or provisions.
See 4th Size, 2.
