 (Professor A.A. Dinwiddie, DM (7th), D.Thau., B.Occ., M.Coll.starting in "Faust Eric") The Bursar is a quiet, reserved person, who took the job of University treasurer because he had an affinity for numbers (the Archchancellor describes him as ""one of those idiot servants"") and there was less competition for the role than other faculty posts.He took over the job from the previous Bursar, Spelter, after the latter was killed trying to save the Library from destruction in "Sourcery".
