The same remarks, mutatis mutandis, apply to the Proctor’s Freshman.

FRESH-SOPH.  An abbreviation of Freshman-Sophomore.  One who enters college in the Sophomore year, having passed the time of the Freshman year elsewhere.

I was a Fresh-Sophomore then, and a waiter in the commons’ hall. —­Yale Lit.  Mag., Vol.  XII. p. 114.

FROG.  In Germany, a student while in the gymnasium, and before entering the university, is called a Frosch,—­a frog.

FUNK.  Disgust; weariness; fright.  A sensation sometimes experienced by students in view of an examination.

In Cantab phrase I was suffering examination funk.—­Bristed’s Five Years in an Eng.  Univ., Ed. 2d, p. 61.

A singular case of funk occurred at this examination.  The man who would have been second, took fright when four of the six days were over, and fairly ran away, not only from the examination, but out of Cambridge, and was not discovered by his friends or family till some time after.—­Ibid., p. 125.

One of our Scholars, who stood a much better chance than myself, gave up from mere funk, and resolved to go out in the Poll.—­Ibid., p. 229.

2.  Fear or sensibility to fear.  The general application of the term.

So my friend’s first fault is timidity, which is only not recognized as such on account of its vast proportions.  I grant, then, that the funk is sublime, which is a true and friendly admission.—­A letter to the N.Y.  Tribune, in Lit.  World, Nov. 30, 1850.

G.

GAS.  To impose upon another by a consequential address, or by detailing improbable stories or using “great swelling words”; to deceive; to cheat.

Found that Fairspeech only wanted to “gas” me, which he did pretty effectually.—­Sketches of Williams College, p. 72.

GATE BILL.  In the English universities, the record of a pupil’s failures to be within his college at or before a specified hour of the night.

To avoid gate-bills, he will be out at night as late as he pleases, and will defy any one to discover his absence; for he will climb over the college walls, and fee his Gyp well, when he is out all night—­Grad. ad Cantab., p. 128.

GATED. At the English universities, students who, for misdemeanors, are not permitted to be out of their college after ten in the evening, are said to be gated.

“Gated,” i.e. obliged to be within the college walls by ten o’clock at night; by this he is prevented from partaking in suppers, or other nocturnal festivities, in any other college or in lodgings.—­Note to The College, in Blackwood’s Mag., May, 1849.

The lighter college offences, such as staying out at night or missing chapel, are punished by what they term “gating”; in one form of which, a man is actually confined to his rooms:  in a more mild way, he is simply restricted to the precincts of the college. —­Westminster Rev., Am. ed., Vol.  XXXV. p. 241.
