NESCIO. He sports a Nescio; he pretends not to understand
any thing. After the senate house examination for
degrees, the students proceed to the schools, to be

a translated specimen:

Ques. What is your name?--Ans. I do not know.
Ques. What is the name of this university?--Ans. I do not
know.
Ques. Who was your father?-Ans. I do not know.
This last is probably the only true answer of the three!
