Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes and Queries, Vol. 5: A Medium of Inter-Communication for Literary Men, General Readers, Etc;; January June 1864
Occupying an eminent station in the University, Laud could scarcely have avoided taking some share in the dispute; and we know that he was not a man to do anything otherwise than energetically. W'hatever he did or said, we may be sure that on such an occasion he took the side of authority; but we have no information on the subject, until the proposal was made to dismember the Univer sity. Aroused by a suggestion, which was either absurd or of weighty moment, he determined to crush it at once by overwhelming it with ridicule.
The stories of the folly of the Gothamites, which were then familiar to everybody, gave him a foundation to build upon. He conceived the design of publishing a burlesque account of the contemplated foundation at Stamford, under the name of Gotham (or, as he Spelt it, Gotam,) Col lege, introducing into its imaginary regulations such Gothamite recollections as could be made applicable, with such other strokes of humour as could be brought to bear upon the contemplated design, in the way of quizzing and contempt.
