"A privileged person was anyone who was afforded the privileges of the University,
whether as a scholar or as a tradesman serving the University. It was due to this
status that Kisbie came under the jurisdiction of the Chancellor's Court, and
that the administration of his estate fell to this court when he died intestate.
