An alternative or archaic term for a collegian; a person associated with a college or collegiate group.
A variant form of collegian using -er as a person suffix instead of -an. This form is rare and largely archaic in modern English, kept mainly in historical texts and specialized academic language.
This word is so obscure that most modern dictionaries have dropped it, but it shows how English loves creating multiple versions of the same word—-an, -er, -ist—sometimes they all stick around, sometimes one wins out.
