Lucky is the man who lives a mile off from his private tutor, or has rooms ten minutes’ walk from chapel:  he is sure of that much constitutional daily.—­Ibid., p. 224.

“Constitutionals” of eight miles in less than two hours, varied with jumping hedges, ditches, and gates; “pulling” on the river, cricket, football, riding twelve miles without drawing bridle,... are what he understands by his two hours’ exercise.—­Ibid., p. 328.

CONSTITUTIONALIZING.  Walking.

The most usual mode of exercise is walking,—­constitutionalizing is the Cantab for it.—­Bristed’s Five Years in an Eng.  Univ., Ed. 2d, p. 19.

CONVENTION.  In the University of Cambridge, England, a court consisting of the Master and Fellows of a college, who sit in the Combination Room, and pass sentence on any young offender against the laws of soberness and chastity.—­Gradus ad Cantabrigiam.

CONVICTOR.  Latin, a familiar acquaintance.  In the University of Oxford, those are called convictores who, although not belonging to the foundation of any college or hall, have at any time been regents, and have constantly kept their names on the books of some college or hall, from the time of their admission to the degree of M.A., or Doctors in either of the three faculties.—­Oxf.  Cal.

CONVOCATION.  At Oxford, the house of convocation is one of the two assemblies in which the business of the University, as such, is transacted.  It consists both of regents and non-regents, “that is, in brief, all masters of arts not ‘honorary,’ or ‘ad eundems’ from Cambridge or Dublin, and of course graduates of a higher order.”  In this house, the Chancellor, or his vicar the Vice-Chancellor, or in his absence one of his four deputies, termed Pro-Vice-Chancellors, and the two Proctors, either by themselves or their deputies, always preside.  The business of this assembly—­which may be considered as the house of commons, excepting that the lords have a vote here equally as in their own upper house, i.e. the house of congregation—­is unlimited, extending to all subjects connected with the well-being of the University, including the election of Chancellor, members of Parliament, and many of the officers of the University, the conferring of extraordinary degrees, and the disposal of the University ecclesiastical patronage.  It has no initiative power, this resting solely with the hebdomadal board, but it can debate, and accept or refuse, the measures which originate in that board.—­Oxford Guide.  Literary World, Vol.  XII. p. 223.

In the University of Cambridge, England, an assembly of the Senate out of term time is called a convocation.  In such a case a grace is immediately passed to convert the convocation into a congregation, after which the business proceeds as usual.—­Cam.  Cal.
