DIALOGUE 3

Talking of proctors and “Bull-dogs” at Oxford University

John: Who is that man in the cap and gown with those two men in bowler hats behind him? Is he a tutor?

Pete: No, he’s a proctor. And the two men behind him are “bull-dogs”. The proctor’s job is to keep discipline, to see that students aren’t out after midnight, or aren’t driving a car without having first received permission from the proctor.

John: What punishment can the proctor give?

Pete: Students can be fined a sum of money, or, for a very serious offence, they can be expelled.

John: And the “bull-dogs”, what are they for?

Pete: They are to catch the student if he tries to run away before his name can be taken.

John: Oh, I see. Thanks a lot.
