A grand compounder was a degree candidate at the University of Oxford who paid extra for his degree; £30 rather than £7 for a B.A., and £40 rather than £14 for an M.A. Undergraduates with a certain high level of income were required to do this; in 1817 this level was a benefice rated in the Kings Books at £40, or other income in excess of £300. The practice was abolished in 1857. At the University of Cambridge the income threshold for a compounder was £26 13s 4d.

  • A grand compounder was a degree candidate at the University of Oxford who paid extra for his degree; £30 rather than £7 for a B.A., and £40 rather than £14 for an M.A. Undergraduates with a certain high level of income were required to do this; in 1817 this level was a benefice rated in the Kings Books at £40, or other income in excess of £300. The practice was abolished in 1857. In exchange for their money, at their graduation a grand compounder was able to process from his college to the convocation house (and back again!) with the Vice-Chancellor, wearing a scarlet gown. In earlier times a trumpeter walked in front blowing his instrument. At the University of Cambridge the income threshold for a compounder was £26 13s 4d. (en)
