FELLOW

This article appears in Volume V10, Page 243 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FAT-FLA
FELLOW , properly and by origin a partner or associate, hence a companion, comrade or
mate
 , as in " fellow-man," " fellow-countryman," &c. The word from the 15th century has also been applied, generally and colloquially, to any male person, often in a contemptuous or pitying sense. The Old English feolage meant a partner in a business, i.e. one who
lays
  (lag) money or property (feoh, fee) together for a common purpose. The word was, therefore, the natural equivalent for socius, a member of the foundation of an incorporated college, as
Eton
 , or a college at a university. In the earlier history of universities both the senior and junior members of a college were known as " scholars," but later, as now, " scholar " was restricted to those members of the foundation still in statu pupillari, and " fellow " to those senior
graduate
  members who have been elected to the foundation by the corporate
body
 , sharing in the government and receiving a fixed emolument out of the revenues of the college. It is in this sense that " fellow " is used at the universities of
Oxford
  and
Cambridge
  and Trinity, Dublin. At these universities the college teaching is performed by those fellows who are also " tutors." At other universities the
term
  is applied to the members of the governing
body
  or to the holders of certain sums of money for a fixed number of years to be devoted to
special
  study or research. By analogy the word is also used of the members of various learned
societies
  and institutions.
