What reading level is Wykehamica. a History of Winchester College And Commoners, From the Foundation to the Present Day book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The functure (or functior) was measured, so as to ascertain the exact point to which it would burn down at a particular hour. Then a piece of paper was inserted there, and connected with a string, to the other end of which was attached a hat-box or a heavy book, suspended over a luck- less junior's bed. When the flame reached the paper, it burnt to the string ; that also ignited, releasing the weight, which descended on the junior's head, and enabled him to wake the Praefect at the hour desired.... Outsiders may wonder that the junior should have slept in this manner, under XXIII.] Glossary. 433 the sword of Damocles ; but they who do so, do not know College juniors.
Scab, the double-lidded box, in which College-boys kept their properties ; said to be derived from box (bocs) spelt backwards. Against this is to be set the fact, that "scob" in early documents is sometimes spelt "scobb." Scrape out. A Praefect, who wished to leave the schoolroom, stood near the door, and scraped with his foot, until he obtained a nod of permission from the Master.
