SIZAR

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 165 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SIV-SOU
SIZAR , one of a class of students at a college of
Cambridge
  University and at Trinity College, Dublin, who, being persons of limited means, are received for
lower
  fees, and obtain free commons, lodgings or other assistance towards their
education
  during their terms of residence. At
Oxford
  there was formerly a similar class, known as " Battelers" or " Batlers," who originally waited on the Fellow of the College who had nominated them, and a still more humble class, the " servitors," who, perhaps, answered more to a " subsizar" at
Cambridge
 . The name " sizar " is to be connected with the " sizes" or " sizings" (" size" being a shortened form of "
assize
  "), that is the specified portions of food and drink issued at a fixed price from the buttery of the college; the sizar was so styled either because as one of his former duties he had to fetch the " sizes" for others, or because he obtained his own free. The menial duties of " sizars " at Cambridge have
long
  become obsolete.
