Encyclopedia Britannica



TUTOR (Lat. tutor, guardian, tueri, to watch over, protect)

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 488 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TUM-VAN
TUTOR (Lat. tutor, guardian, tueri, to watch over, protect) , properly a legal
term
 , borrowed from Roman law, for a guardian of an infant (see ROMAN LAW and INFANT). Apart from this usage, which survives particularly in Scots law, the word is chiefly current in an educational sense of a teacher or instructor. It is thus specifically applied to a fellow of a college at a university with particular functions, connected especially with the supervision of the undergraduate members of the college. These functions differ in various
universities
 . Thus, at
Oxford
 , a fellow, who is also a tutor, besides lecturing, or taking his share of the general teaching of the college, has the supervision and responsibility for a certain number of the undergraduates during their period of residence; at
Cambridge
  the tutor has not necessarily any teaching functions to perform, but is more concerned with the economic and social welfare of the pupils assigned to his care. In American
universities
  the
term
  is applied to a teacher who is subordinate to a
professor
 , his
appointment
  being for a year or a term of years.
