Public Orator
5. More fully Public Orator. An official at a university, esp. Oxford and Cambridge, who speaks for the university on ceremonial occasions, introduces candidates for certain honorary degrees, and performs other written and spoken duties as a formal representative of the university.‘Orators’ were in early times sent by the universities as special envoys, e.g. to Councils of the Church, as that of Basel in 1430. A permanent Public Orator was appointed at Cambridge in 1522, and at Oxford in 1564.
