c. 1840. MANSFIELD, School-Life at Winchester College (1866), 233. A very common prefix; e.g., a boy was said to be SEMPER continent, tardy, or extrumps if he was often at Sick House, or late for Chapel, or habitually went up to Books without having looked at his lessons. An official who was always at the College meetings went by the name of SEMPER Testis.
