status

In contrast to the Fuchs (only written abbreviation F), the corps boy (CB) is a member of the narrower corps or the inner corps association. You can only become a CB if you have passed an examination of your corps student knowledge (fox test) and have fought at least one length in corps colors. If a CB statutes according meets the relevant conditions of his corps, he can of his by a decision Corp fellow-Convents (abbr. CC) in the Inaktivenstand be moved.

Honorary Corps Boy

Ehrencorpsbursch (ECB) is still the name of the old men in the Breslau Corps who have been awarded honorary membership. They are marked with an * in their circle and in the Kösener corps lists. In the middle of the 19th century, the Königsberger Corps honored inactive people as honorary corps boys. Masovia had seven honorary corps boys between 1838 and 1858, who had the (soon limited to six semesters) rights of a corps boy. It was very similar with Baltia :

“The ECB was an inactive; a student who had passed the triennium and was therefore at least in the seventh semester. The title was awarded for special service to the Corps. But the Philistines no longer led him because he left the "Corps" association. He was only in contact with the Landsmannschaft, the wider federal government. The ECB had the rights but not the obligations of the CB; he specifically exercised the voting rights in the CC. "
