BOOK-KEEPER. At Harvard College, students are allowed to go out of town on Saturday, after the exercises, but are required, if not at evening prayers, to enter their names before 10 P.m. with one of the officers appointed for that purpose. Students were formerly required to report themselves before 8 P.m., in winter, and 9, in summer, and the person who registered the names was a member of the Freshman Class, and was called the book-keeper.
ОглавлениеI strode over the bridge, with a rapidity which grew with my vexation, my distaste for wind, cold, and wet, and my anxiety to reach my goal ere the hour appointed should expire, and the book-keeper's light should disappear from his window; "For while his light holds out to burn, The vilest sinner may return."—Collegian, p. 225.
