THE SCOTTISH NATION AT ORLEANS
fees due to the bedellus. The section immediately following
again requires each novitius to pay a fee of four solidi, and
further exacts a fee of three solidi from each student in his
subsequent years.
The second of these Scottish statutes, dated 1407, defines
the duties of the treasurer. He must render his account to
a meeting of the nation, to be held annually on the Sunday
preceding St. Andrew’s Day, when he may be asked to resign
or may be re-elected. He must deposit the money he collects
with a certain Petrus de Sancto Maximino, who is to act as
the banker of the nation, and who must note in his book the
amount and the date of each deposit. The procurator, too,
must keep a book in which to enter the sums paid to the said
Peter. Peter, on the other hand, must not make any payment
out of the funds, except to the procurator in presence of
a meeting of the nation. And in case, 4 which God forbid,’
that the nation should be reduced to one or two members
only, Peter must not disburse money to them unless they are
grave and honest men, and then only in the presence of the
college of doctors and procurators, and of the bedellus of the
nation.
The third statute, dated 1408, enacts that, 4 especially for
the speedier acquisition of a mace,’ every student, whether
novice or graduand, shall pay the nation a contribution of
eighteen Parisian solidi. And a statute of the following year
(No. IV) further exacts a fee of eight solidi from graduands
coming from other universities. The treasurer’s oath, which
immediately follows, should rather have been appended to the
statute of 1407 (No. II), to which it obviously belongs.
The next statute (No. V), dated 1411, also relates to the
finance of the nation, and reiterates the desirability of pro¬
curing a mace. It states that the annual contribution of
students and graduands had formerly been ten solidi, while
graduands from other universities had been required to pay
sixteen solidi, a statement that probably refers to one or
