Syndic \Syn"dic\, n. [L. syndictus, Gr. ? helping in a court of
   justice, advocate; sy`n with + ? justice, akin to ? to show:
   cf. F. syndic. See {Teach}.]
   1. An officer of government, invested with different powers
      in different countries; a magistrate.

   Note: In France, syndics are appointed by the creditors of a
         bankrupt to manage the property. Almost all the
         companies in Paris, the university, and the like, have
         their syndics. The university of Cambridge, Eng., has
         its syndics, who are chosen from the senate to transact
         special business, such as the regulation of fees, the
         framing of laws, etc.
