The original Tripos, from which the Cambridge class lists have derived their names, was a three legged stool, on which, on AshWednesday, a bachelor of one or two years' standing (called therefrom the Bachelor of the Stool) used formerly to take his seat, and play the part of a public disputant in the quaint proceedings which accompanied admission to the degree of B.A.` In course of time, the name was transferred from the stool to him that sat on it, and the disputant was called the Tripos; thence it passed to the day when the stool became a post of honor; then to the lists published on that day, containing the seniority of commencing B.A.'s arranged according to the pleasure of the Proctors; and, ultimately, it obtained the enlarged meaning now universally recognized, according to which it stands for the examination, whether in mathematics, classics, moral or physical science, as well as for the list by which the result of that examination is made known.-Notes and Queries, No. 117. ST. PAUL'S SCHOOL FOUNDED. (Pages 48, 49.) Among the fasciculi of Commemoration Addresses recited in praise of Dean Colet, the Founder of St. Paul's School, are entitled to special mention, "The number of the Fish," a lay, by the Rev. Dr. Kynaston, the High Master, illustrating Colet's prescribed number of scholars: "There shall be taught in the schole children of all nations indifferently, to the number of CLIII.”—Statutes. Another of the learned High Master's Commemorations is entitled Ipsum Audite-"Hear ye Him;" Hymnus Gratulatorius super Fundatione D. Pauli Scholæ. In Latin and English Trochaic Verse, with Notes and Preface. Apposition, 1857. The epigraph to this Hymn of Gratulation is as follows: "Supra cathedram præceptoris sedet puer Jesus singulari opere, docentis gestu; quem totus grex, adiens scholam ac relinquens, hymno salutat. Et imm net Patris facies dicentis, Ipsum audite: nam hæc verba me auctore adscripsit."—Erasmi Epistolæ. "Over the master's chair is set an image of the child Jesus, of admirable work, in the attitude of teaching; whom all the boys, on entering and leaving, salute with a hymn. And there is a representation of the Father, saying, Hear ye Him: these words he added by my advice."-Letter of Erasmus on the Founding of St. Paul's School. Of St. Paul's, Knight, in his Life of Colet, states: "This noble impulse of Christian charity, in the founding of Grammar-schools, was one of the providential ways and means for bringing about the blessed Reformation; and it is therefore observable, that within thirty years before it, there were more Grammar-schools erected and endowed in England, than had been in three hundred years preceding." Among the memorable things said of eminent Paulines is Archdeacon Tennison's tribute, in his Sermons preached before the scholars—to John, Duke of Marlborough, "who never besieged a town which he did not take, nor fought a battle which he did not win." "But for St. Paul's School," said Lord John Russell, at the Apposition Banquet, 1846, "Milton's harp would have been mute and inglorious, and Marlborough's sword might have rusted in its scabbard."
