Quine proved to be a popular and successful student at Oxford, being elected Postmaster (senior undergraduate scholar) at Merton whilst gaining great popularity amongst his peers thanks to his conversational brilliance. His enjoyment of Oxford was hampered only by the occasional consequences of his quick tongue and a lack of funds that he attributed to his father's miserliness. He gained his Bachelor of Arts in 1881 and his MA shortly afterwards, as well as taking his Holy orders.
