CAMBRIDGE WIT.

When Dr. Jeggon, afterwards bishop of Norwich, was master of Bennet

College, Cambridge, he punished all the under graduates for some general

offence; and because he disdained to convert the penalty-money into

private use, it was expended on new whitening the hall of the college. A

scholar hung the following verses on the screen:--

“Dr. Jeggon, Bennet College master,

Broke the _scholars’ heads_, and gave the _walls_ a _plaster_.”
