Not that my household is a staff of commercial collegiates, able to read this out-of-date old shorthand; but it was foolish for all that.
"The Debit Account"
Oliver Onions
The West Ward fellows had a Checker Club, the Third Form fellows had a Puzzle Club, the collegiates had a Canadian Literature Club; even the Mill boys down on the Flats had a Captain Kidd Club, proving themselves at times bandits quite worthy the club's name.
"The Shagganappi"
E. Pauline Johnson
Never a time that the courtiers or collegiates come to the house, but you make it a Shrove-tuesday!
"Epicoene Or, The Silent Woman"
Ben Jonson
