A quick definition of a me:

Term: A ME

Definition: A phrase used in feudal grants to describe a type of tenure. It means that the person holding the land is doing so directly from the chief lord. It comes from the Latin phrase "a me de superiore meo," which means "from me of my superior." It's like saying "I'm giving you this land, but you still have to answer to me and my boss."

A more thorough explanation:

A ME

A me (ay mee) is a Latin phrase that means "from me." It was used in feudal grants to show that someone held tenure directly from the chief lord. The phrase is short for "a me de superiore meo" (ay mee dee s[y]oo-peer-ee-or-ee mee-oh), which means "from me of my superior." This phrase is similar to "de me," which means "from me."

Example 1: John received a grant of land from the king. The grant stated that John held the land "a me." This meant that John held the land directly from the king, without any intermediaries.

Example 2: Mary inherited a piece of land from her father. Her father had held the land "a me" from the lord of the manor. This meant that Mary now held the land directly from the lord of the manor.

These examples illustrate how the phrase "a me" was used in feudal grants to show the direct relationship between the tenant and the lord. In both cases, the tenant held the land "a me," which meant that they held it directly from the superior lord, without any intermediaries.

Anyone know how long it takes to get aid package after getting admitted to UChicago or Northwestern?
I’d ask in the t14 chat bc lol it may be a bit until you can get someone who can answer that question here

@syddak: Oof tough spot. Congrats on the As. Did either indicate either via email/mail that they would be following up with aid, and if so, did they provide a time frame? It may be acceptable to email them and indicate seat deposits are fast approaching and you are curious if you can expect further info (aid) from the school to aid u in ur decision..
