Rustication is a term used at Oxford, Cambridge and Durham Universities to mean being sent down or expelled temporarily, or, in more recent times, to leave temporarily for welfare and/or health reasons. The term derives from the Latin word ''rus'', countryside, to indicate that a student has been sent back to his or her family in the country, or from medieval Latin ''rustici'', meaning "heathens or barbarians" (''missus in rusticos'', "sent among ..."). Depending on the conditions given, a student who has been rusticated may not be allowed to enter any of the university buildings, or even travel to within a certain distance of them. The term is used in British public schools (private schools), and was used in the United States during the 19th century, though it has been superseded by the term "suspension". ==Use in the United Kingdom== Notable Britons who were rusticated during their time at University include: *John Lyly (c. 1553–1606), author of ''Euphues''. Rusticated from Magdalen College, Oxford for unknown reasons. * John Milton (1609–1674), Rusticated from Christ's College, Cambridge in 1626 for quarreling with his tutor. * John Dryden (1631–1700), Rusticated from Trinity College, Cambridge. Exchanged insults with his college vice-master. * Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864), Rusticated from Trinity College, Oxford in 1794. Landor had fired a gun at the window of a fellow student whose late night revelry had disturbed him and for whom he had an aversion. Landor chose not to return. * Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822), Rusticated from University College, Oxford in 1811 for writing "The Necessity of Atheism" and then disseminating the pamphlet to the heads of all colleges at the University. Shelley had originally been Sent Down (permanently expelled), but upon a supplication from his father to the University was given a chance to deny authorship and return. Shelley refused to deny authorship and was therefore sent down. * Richard Francis Burton (1821–1890), Rusticated from Trinity College, Oxford in 1842 for challenging a fellow student to a duel, the latter having mocked the shape of Burton's moustache. * Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837–1909), Rusticated from Balliol College, Oxford in 1859 for having publicly supported the attempted assassination of Napoleon III by Orsini. * Oscar Wilde (1854–1900), Rusticated from Magdalen College, Oxford after having returned to his college some three weeks after a new term had begun. * John Betjeman (1906–1984), Rusticated from Magdalen College, Oxford in 1928.

Waugh chose not to return. *Mark Boxer (1931–1988), Rusticated in the 1950s from King's College, Cambridge, as editor of ''Granta'', the student magazine, when it published a poem deemed by the authorities to be blasphemous. *Jon Snow (1947–present), Rusticated from University of Liverpool after taking part in a 1970 student protest against apartheid. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rustication (academia)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
