The term "bedder" is short for "bedmaker" and is the official term for a housekeeper in a college of the University of Cambridge.[1] The equivalent at the University of Oxford is known as a "scout".[2] The equivalent at Trinity College, Dublin was known as a "skip", until the practice was abandoned in the early 1970s.[3] The colleges of the University of Durham have also replicated the Oxbridge model and refer to housekeeping staff as bedders.[4] There is no equivalent at the vast majority of other British or American universities, though the universities of Harvard, Yale, and Princeton have previously offered similar positions to care for their students' needs.
