Sizar \Si"zar\, n.
One of a body of students in the universities of Cambridge
(Eng.) and Dublin, who, having passed a certain examination,
are exempted from paying college fees and charges. A sizar
corresponded to a servitor at Oxford.
[1913 Webster]

The sizar paid nothing for food and tuition, and very
little for lodging. --Macaulay.
[1913 Webster]

Note: They formerly waited on the table at meals; but this is
done away with. They were probably so called from being
thus employed in distributing the size, or provisions.
See 4th {Size}, 2.
[1913 Webster]


Batteler \Bat"tel*er\, Battler \Bat"tler\, n. [See 2d {Battel},
n.]

buttery; formerly, one who paid for nothing but what he
called for, answering nearly to a {sizar} at Cambridge.
--Wright.
[1913 Webster]


Famulist \Fam"u*list\, n. [L. famulus servant.]
A collegian of inferior rank or position, corresponding to
the {sizar} at Cambridge. [Oxford Univ., Eng.]
