Re: the thing about going into an exam with horses
to clarify, it's something about passing exams or something if you bring an army....

I don't know exactly what you're talking about, but if exists it'll be in the Glasgow University Senate calendar

Re: the thing about going into an exam with horses
Aye, i've heard something along these lines before...if you turn up in a full suit of armour on a horse to an exam you automatically pass.

Also the one where you can demand a pint of lager during an exam and the invigilator/lecturer has to oblige.



...both utter bollocks.

the way i heard it was that you can demand a glass of port during a classics exam. allegedly someone did this, and the university fined him for walking across the quadrangle without a sword, or rapier, or something.

may also be utter bollocks.
