How sane is the Bursar in Discworld ?

perfectly sane! *** please pass the dried frog pills... thanks! ***

What's a Bursar ?

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



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 ?

DRIED FROG PILLS!!!!

Ahh, Spick, so NOW you know what happened. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />


<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" /> I will now go for the weekend, off up to Jurak's lovely country to my condo.
have a good time here, don't kill each other. hope a new patch is here when I return!

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

Spick is the Librarian <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

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="" />
