What's a Bursar ?


When you find a big kettle of crazy, it's best not to stir it.

I'd say he's a treasurer but I guess Dictionary.com would give a better definition.

Quote
An official in charge of funds, as at a college or university; a treasurer.


Spick, of course, means THE Bursar of the Unseen Universtity.

In my view? Perfectly sane. The Bursar's also made of sterner stuff than what you'd expect at first glance, oh yes.

Well, some names have been translated into German, so I cannot recall who this was.

Can you describe him ?

The one who eats dried frog pills ? He is called "Quästor" in the German translations (slight reference to University terms).

Same thing. A University's treasurer, no?

I didn't know that this is the specific term for the treasurer.

By the way, the word "Bursar" reminds me of the German word "(Geld-)Börse", which means "(money-)purse" ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

A Bursar at a univerity is usually in charge of things such as student fees etc. Where I went he could also arrange financial assistance etc <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
