Capitolo 48
Quaestioni." Any aspect of collective examination there is not first
this presentation: what probable is that the "Quaestio" both, I don't know. Still
the university student was not B.A. The Quaestio was ended however and
approved in front of the day a certain Congregation, and then the
university student was declared to be "actualiter in artibus Baccalaureum."
These regulations were probably found to be insufficient for the
controls of education, and the examination of January was founded. ME
you conjecture this to have been to or just before the date of the
more first Triposes recorded in the Calendar in Cambridge, 1748.
The importance in increase of the examination of January naturally
decreased the value of the Actions in the eyes of the university students;
and, some years after my M.A. the degree, that the Opponents you/he/she was found
met, not for the purpose to conceal their matters from the
In conformity with, but for the purpose to reveal them to him. This conducted
the whole suppression of the system. The most active man in this
suppression was Mr Whewell: its date is due to be near to 1830.
The form in which the matters were delivered by an Opponent,
reading from a paper written, it was, "You (quoting anything from the
The challenge of agreement), & the c., & the c. Cadit Quaestio; Sed (quoting
anything the other one being born on the subject of discussion), Valet
Consequentia; Then (combining these to try some inaccuracy in the
The challenge of agreement), Valent the et of Consequentia Argumentum." Anybody
false to understand these mystical terminations.
Apparently original idea was that many Actions should be kept from
every university; for, to hold on the number (as it seemed), each
student had to mumble through a ridiculous form tuae of quaestiones of "You
falsae sint, Cadit Quaestio:--sed quaestiones tuae falsae sunt, Therefore
valent the et of Consequentia Argumentum." I have forgotten time and place
when this was issued.
