Excerpt from A Register of the Presidents, Fellows, Demies, Instructors in Grammar and in Music, Chaplains, Clerks, Choristers, and Other Members of Saint Mary Magdalen College in the University of Oxford, From the Foundation of the College to the Present Time, Vol. 1: The Demies
In July, 1483, after a visit to the College by King Richard III, Chandler tells us, that the Founder tarried for a while, and delivered to the Society his Statutes in a body, still subject to his revisal, additions, and alterations.
The Society6 was finally fixed to consist of a President; forty Scholars, Clerks; thirty' Scholars, commonly called Demies, because they were originally admitted to half-commons; four Chaplains; and other members.
