Excerpt from An Essay on the Earlier Part of the Life of Swift
After their admission into college, Swift senior (that is, Thomas, ) and Jones appear to have-prose cuted their studies with more success than Jonathan; for after an examination in classical literature for two days by the Provost and Senior Fellows, according to the course observed in the College of Dublin, the former was elected a Scholar of the House on '26 May, 3684; as was the latter on 30 May, 1685. All the three, however, commenced A. B. At the same time, in February 1685-6: the grace of the house for that degree having been conferred on Thomas Swift on 11 February, and the special grace for the same granted to Jonathan Swift, John J ones, and three others, on the 13th of the same month.
