Wranglers.
Unfortunately it is but too well known what to wrangle means, but the term given by the Universities to their senior students is not so well understood. A Wrangler is applied to students who have passed their mathematical examinations for the degree of B.A. with honour, from the circumstance of their having at one time to oppose or defend a thesis in public. The students who pass their B.A examination with honour are divided into three classes, — junior optimes, senior optimes, and wranglers, constituting the mathematical tripos. The first in merit of the wranglers is known as senior wrangler, and is the most distinguished mathematical student of liia year.
