My name in sure recording page
    Shall time itself o’erpower,
  If no rude mice with envious rage
    The buttery-books devour.

BUTTERY-HATCH.  A half-door between the buttery or kitchen and the hall, in colleges and old mansions.  Also called a buttery-bar.—­Halliwell’s Arch. and Prov.  Words.

If any scholar or scholars at any time take away or detain any vessel of the colleges, great or small, from the hall out of the doors from the sight of the buttery-hatch without the butler’s or servitor’s knowledge, or against their will, he or they shall be punished three pence.—­Quincy’s Hist.  Harv.  Coll., Vol.  I. p. 584.

He (the college butler) domineers over Freshmen, when they first come to the hatch.—­Earle’s Micro-cosmographie, 1628, Char. 17.

There was a small ledging or bar on this hatch to rest the tankards on.

I pray you, bring your hand to the buttery-bar, and let it drink.—­Twelfth Night, Act I. Sc. 3.

BYE-FELLOW.  In England, a name given in certain cases to a fellow in an inferior college.  At the University of Cambridge, Eng., a bye-fellow can be elected to one of the regular fellowships when a vacancy occurs.

BYE-FELLOWSHIP.  An inferior establishment in a college for the nominal maintenance of what is called a bye-fellow, or a fellow out of the regular course.

The emoluments of the fellowships vary from a merely nominal income, in the case of what are called Bye-fellowships, to $2,000 per annum.—­Literary World, Vol.  XII. p. 285.

BYE-FOUNDATION.  In the English universities, a foundation from which an insignificant income and an inferior maintenance are derived.

BYE-TERM.  In the University of Cambridge, Eng., students who take the degree of B.A. at any other time save January, are said to “go out in a bye-term.”

Bristed uses this word, as follows:  “I had a double disqualification exclusive of illness.  First, as a Fellow Commoner....  Secondly, as a bye-term man, or one between two years.  Although I had entered into residence at the same time with those men who were to go out in 1844, my name had not been placed on the College Books, like theirs, previously to the commencement of 1840.  I had therefore lost a term, and for most purposes was considered a Freshman, though I had been in residence as long as any of the Junior Sophs.  In fact, I was between two years.”—­Five Years in an Eng.  Univ., Ed. 2d, pp. 97, 98.

C.

CAD.  A low fellow, nearly equivalent to snob.  Used among students in the University of Cambridge, Eng.—­Bristed.

CAHOOLE.  At the University of North Carolina, this word in its application is almost universal, but generally signifies to cajole, to wheedle, to deceive, to procure.
