Note

The practice of of obtaining a keepsake at the press of the university printers, in return for a few pence, seems to have begun as early as Sept. 30, 1640, when Thomas Marshall (the Oriental scholar, afterwards rector of Lincoln) obtained one bearing his namne and the date between two wood-cut ornaments. This was about three weeks before his matriculation.--Madan.
