Bedders, Bulldogs and Bedells: A Cambridge Glossary by Frank Stubbings - 1995

F. H. Stubbings (privately published], Cambridge, 1995. New Edition. Paperback. Near Fine/N/A. This is a new edition of Dr Stubbings's "Bedders, Bulldogs and Bedells: A Cambridge ABC", first published by the author in 1991. It has now been revised, enlarged by a number of new entries, and adorned with a selection of illustrations. Like the first edition, the book aims to explain lucidly and readably the many special words and usages current in the Cambridge academic milieu. What are bedders, Bulldogs, Bedells? What is a tripes? What is a gyp-room? What (in the past) was a ten year man! What was The Wooden Spoon? After nearly four score years of life in Cambridge, the author does not claim to give, or know, all the answers; but puzzled visitors, freshmen, even dons, may find here first aid and refreshment. Frank Stubbings was born and educated in Cambridge, at the Perse School and Emmanuel College. He was elected a Fellow of Emmanuel College in 1939. He held a University Lectureship in Classics, 1949-80, was University Orator 1974-82, Emmanuel College Librarian 1959-80, and Vice-Master 1965-9. He is now a Life Fellow of the college.
