Note 251 — Chapter XI
Reading edition
With respect to regulations of this sort in 1650, before Owen's Vice-Chancellorship, it is said, Oxoniana iv. 210, "Gowns also had now lost their usual fashion, by others introduced by the Cantabrigians, especially that belonging to a bachelor of arts, the sleeves of which were wider than those of surplices, and so continued in fashion not only till the Restoration of Charles II., but the Vice-Chancellorship of Dr. John Fell."
