NOTE 


The  separate  publication  of  the  Alphabetical  Record 
of  University  Honours  and  Distinctions,  under  the 
title  of  Oxford  Honours,  1 220-1 894,  has  for  the  present 
rendered  superfluous  Part  II  of  the  Historical  Register, 
published  in  1888.  But  pending  the  preparation  of 
a  complete  new  edition  of  the  Register,  it  has  been 
thought  advisable  to  continue  to  issue  the  strictly 
historical  portion  of  this  work.  For  full  particulars 
of  the  Honours,  &c,  conferred  since  the  end  of  Trinity 
Term,  1888,  the  reader  must  for  the  present  be  re- 
ferred to  the  current  edition  of  the  Oxford  University 
Calendar.

THE    HISTOKICAL    EEGISTEE 

OF   THE 

UNIVERSITY    OF    OXFORD. 


CONSTITUTION  OF  THE  UNIVERSITY. 


The  earliest  forms  of  the  Constitution  of  the  University  of  Oxford 
appear  to  have  heen  based  on  those  of  Paris,  though  no  historical 
details  as  to  its  origin  exist.  The  Teachers  and  Scholars  of  whose 
presence  there  is  evidence  in  the  accounts  of  the  teaching  of  Robert 
Pullus  (1133)  and  Vacarius  (about  1149)  had  arrived  at  some  degree 
of  academic  organization  before  the  end  of  the  twelfth  century,  the 
existence  of  Masters  and  Scholars  being  recorded  about  1185  in  con- 
nexion with  the  celebrated  visit  of  Giraldus  Cambrensis.  In  1214  the 
Bishop  of  Lincoln,  the  ecclesiastical  superior  of  the  Clerks  thus  gathered 
within  his  diocese,  appointed  a  Chancellor  for  their  government,  and 
the  Constitution  which  arose  out  of  such  elements  has  been  moulded 
into  its  present  form,  in  part  by  the  authority  of  the  Crown  and  of 
Parliament,  in  part  by  the  inherent  self-governing  power  of  the 
University  itself. 

It  is  now  a  corporate  body,  known  for  centuries  by  the  style  or  title 
of  The  Chancellor,  Masters,  and  Scholars  of  the  University  of  Oxford  ; 
a  title  confirmed  by  the  Legislature  itself  in  the  reign  of  Queen 
Elizabeth1.  It  is  invested  with  all  the  usual  powers  of  corporations, 
and  also  with  various  peculiar  privileges,  such  as  the  right  of  exercising 
jurisdiction  civil  and  criminal  over  its  members,  certain  unique 
municipal  prerogatives  within  the  City  of  Oxford,  representation  by 
two  Burgesses  in  the  House  of  Commons,  and  in  particular  with  the 
power  of  conferring  Degrees  as  a  token  of  proficiency  in  certain  studies. 

1  "  Be  it  therefore  enacted  by  the  authority  of  this  present  Parliament,  that  the  Eight 
"  Honourable  Eobert  Earl  of  Leicester  now  Chancellor  of  the  said  University  of  Ox- 
"  ford  and  his  successors  for  ever,  and  the  Masters  and  Scholars  of  the  same  University 
"  of  Oxford  for  the  time  being,  shall  be  incorporated  and  have  a  perpetual  succession 
"in  fact  deed  and  name,  by  the  name  of  The  Chancellor.  Masters,  and  Scholar.''  of  the 
''  University  of  Oxford,  and  that  the  same  Chancellor  Masters  and  Scholars  of  the 
"same  University  for  the  time  being,  from  henceforth  by  the  name  of  Chancellor 
"Maxtor*  and  Scholars  of  the  University  <f  Oxford,  and  by  none  other  name  or  names, 
"  shall  be  called  and  named  for  evermore."    Stat.  13  Eliz.  c.  2'J.  s.  1. 


1    I  UNIVEBSIT?    OF    OXFORD. 

TheUniversity  also  pr<  scribes  the  studies  and  other  conditions  requisite 
to  the  attainment  of  each  Degree,  publicly  examines  candidates,  and  in 
-  publicly  classifies  them  according  to  their  merits.  Further, 
ont  of  funds  arising  from  its  own  endowments,  from  the  dues  levied  from 
it-  members,  from  trusts  devoted  to  the  encouragement  and  reward  of 
various  branches  of  learning,  and  from  contributions  proceeding  from 
the  revenues  of  colleges,  the  University  provides  through  its  statutes  f«>r 
the  appointment  of  professors  and  readers  in  different  departments  of 
knowledge,  and  award-  scholarships  and  prizes  to  its  members  as  marks 
of  academic  distinction. 

It-  ancient  privileges  have  been  recognised  and  augmented  by  a 
long  succession  of  Royal  Charters  from  the  earliest  period  ;  and  these 
Charters  themselves  have  been  sanctioned  by  Parliament ;  for  in  an 
Act.  intituled  "An  Act  for  the  Incorporation  of  the  two  Universities," 
it  is  expressly  declared,  that  all  Letters  Patent  of  preceding  Sovereigns 
granted  to  the  University  of  Oxford  "  shall  be  good,  effectual,  and  avail- 
able in  law,  according  to  the  form,  words,  sentences,  and  true  meaning 
of  every  of  the  said  Letters  Patent,  as  amply,  fully,  and  largely,  as  if  the 
same  Letters  Patent  were  recited  verbatim  "  !  in  the  Act  itself. 

From  early  times  ecclesiastical  in  its  character,  conformity  to  the 
tenets  of  the  national  Church  long  remained  a  condition  of  member- 
ship ;  but  since  the  abolition  of  religious  tests  in  1871,  the  University 
is  open,  without  respect  of  birth,  age,  or  creed,  to  all  men  who  can 
satisfy  certain  constituted  authorities  (i.  e.  a  College  or  the  Censor  of 
the  Non-Collegiate  Students)  of  their  good  character  and  educational 
fitness,  and  who  are  prepared  to  conform  to  University  discipline  and 
pay  the  requisite  dues.  Any  person  who  has  been  admitted  as  a 
Mi  mber  is,  whilst  he  remains  a  member,  amenable  to  the  regulations 
of  the  University,  and  has  access  to  its  privileges  according  to  his 
academic  rank,  and  he  can  compete  for  all  its  degrees,  prizes  and 
distinctions,  excepting  that  degrees  in  Divinity  are  still  confined  to 
members  of  the  Church  of  England.  The  Members  at  present  number 
upwards  of  eleven  thousand.  Of  these  about  three  thousand  are  Under- 
graduates,  more  then  eight  thousand  being  Graduates  who,  after  com- 
pleting their  educational  course  and  proceeding  to  their  degrees,  have 
kept  their  names  upon  the  books  by  the  payment  of  the  customary  dues. 

The  government  of  the  University  is  in  the  hands  of  those  of  its 
Members  who  have  taken  the  degree  of  Master  of  Arts  or  of  Doctor 
in  the  Faculties  of  Civil  Law,  Medicine,  or  Divinity.  These  consti- 
tute  the  House  of  Convocation,  but  certain  of  the   functions  of  the

University  are  discharged  by  more  limited  bodies — the  Ancient 
House  of  Congregation,  the  Congregation  of  the  University  of  Oxford, 
the  Hebdomadal  Council,  the  Vice-Chancellor  and  the  Proctors,  the 
Delegates,  Curators,  and  Committees   appointed   to  supervise   special 

departments  of  University  business. 

With  the  exception  of  rare  interventions  on  the  part  of  the  Crown,  the 
University  had,  until  about  the  middle  of  the  nineteenth  century,  always 
been  governed  by  statutes  of  its  own  making.  In  the  course  of  cen- 
turies such  statutes,  made  from  time  to  time,  as  occasions  seemed  to  call 
for  them,  without  sufficient  reference  to  previous  enactments,  grew  into 
a  confused  mass  without  order  or  arrangement,  with  which  many  of  the 
usages  of  the  University  were  at  variance.  Many  attempts  were  made 
to  remedy  this  evil,  and  at  length  in  the  Chancellorship  of  Archbishop 
Laud  (1630-41)  a  digested  code  of  laws,  compiled  by  special  delegate, 
was  ratified  by  Convocation  under  the  title  of  Corpus  Stalutorum 
Universitatis  Otonien sis,  which  is  the  basis  of  the  present  Statute-book1, 
of  which  an  annual  edition  is  issued  by  the  Clarendon  Press. 

Even  before  tbe  completion  of  the  Laudian  code  in  1636  and  down  to 
the  passing  of  the  Act  for  reforming  the  University  in  18542,  the 
University  effected  its  legislation,  and  transacted  the  whole  of  its 
business  as  a  corporation,  in  two  distinct  assemblies,  the  HOUSES  OF 
Congregation  and  of  Convocation. 

The  House  of  Congregation  consisted  solely  of  Regent*,  whether 
"necessario  regentes"  or  "  regentes  ad  ijlacitum."  All  Doctors  of  every 
faculty,  and  all  Masters  of  Aits,  are  necessary  regents  for  the  space  of 
two  years  after  their  admission  to  regency,  that  is,  for  two  years  from 
the  end  of  the  term  in  which  they  are  admitted  to  their  respective 
degrees,  Easter  and  Act  terms  being  counted  as  one.  Persons  of  the 
following  descriptions,  being  members  of  Convocation,  are  regentes  ad 
placitum:  all  Professors;  all  Doctors  of  every  faculty  resident  in  the 
University;  all  Heads  of  Colleges  and  Halls,  or,  in  their  absence,  their 
deputies;  the  Public  Examiners,  Moderators,  and  Masters  of  the  Schools ; 
the  Deans  or  Censors  of  Colleges ;  and  the  Censor  of  Students  not  be- 
longing to  any  College  or  Hall,  or  his  deputy.  The  term  regi  nf  imported 
government  or  superintend:  nee  in  the  Public  Schools  of  the  University 
over  the  disputations  and  other  academical  exercises  which  in  ancient 
times  were  performed  there.  Necessary  regents  were  bound  in  rotation, 
regents  ad  placitum  were  at  liberty  when  they  pleased,  to  superintend 
those  exercises,  and  to  examine  candidates  for  degrees.     The  House  of

Dr.  Griffiths'  edition  of  the  Laudian  Statutes  published  at  the  Clarendon  Press  in  1 388.

12  UNIVERSITY   OF   OXFORD. 

Conciliation  tlicivfurr  comprises  all  those  persons  who  were  specially 
charged  with  the  education  and  discipline  of  the  University,  whether 
in  public  "f  within  the  several  Colleges  and  Halls. 

Tli.  BOUSE  of  CONVOCATION  consists  both  of  Regents  and  Non- 
Regmt$t  that  is,  of  all  persons  who  have  been  admitted  to  regency, 
provided  that,  from  the  time  of  their  admission  to  the  degree  which 
made  them  regents,  their  names  have  been  constantly  kept  on  the  books 
of  some  College  or  Hall  or  on  the  Register  of  Students  not  belonging 
to  any  College  or  Hall,  and  that  they  have  borne  all  burdens  and  paid 
all  lies  required  of  them  by  the  Statutes.  The  same  position  is  held 
by  those  who  have  been  admitted  to  the  degree  of  Master  of  Arts  or 
Doctor  in  any  of  the  three  faculties  by  Diploma  or  by  Decree  of  Con- 
vocation ;  but  a  degree  conferred  "  honoris  causa  "  only  conveys  no  right 
of  voting.  Masters  of  Arts  and  Doctors,  who,  having  ceased  to  be 
members  of  the  University,  have  had  their  names  again  placed  upon 
the  books  of  some  College  or  Hall,  or  on  the  Begister  of  Students  not 
belonging  to  any  College  or  Hall,  or  who  have  been  incorporated  from 
Cambridge  or  Dublin,  may,  after  the  performance  of  certain  conditions, 
claim  to  be  admitted  to  the  House ;  but  no  such  person  is  entitled  to 
vote  in  Convocation  before  the  expiration  of  one  hundred  and  eighty 
days  from  the  time  of  his  admission. 

The  Chancellor,  or  the  Vice-Chancellor,  or  one  of  his  four  deputies, 
and  the  two  Proctors,  or  their  respective  deputies,  preside  in  both 
Houses ;  and  their  presence  in  them  on  all  occasions  is  indispensably 
requisite.  The  number  of  regents  required  to  make  a  Congregation 
is  nine  at  the  least,  besides  the  Vice-Chancellor  and  Proctors :  for  a 
Convocation  no  particular  number  of  members  is  required.  In  both 
Houses  the  Chancellor  or  Vice-Chancellor  singly,  and  the  two  Proctors 
jointly,  have  the  right  to  stop  all  matters,  except  elections,  by  an 
absolute  negative  :  otherwise  every  question  is  decided  by  the  majority 
of  votes. 

For  the  better  government  of  the  University,  a  sort  of  Council, 
devised  probably  by  Archbishop  Laud,  was  instituted  in  1631  by  King 
Charles  I.  It  consisted  of  the  Heads  of  Houses  and  the  Proctors,  and, 
from  being  appointed  to  hold  a  weekly  meeting  every  Monday,  became 
known  by  the  name  of  the  Hebdomadal  Boaed  ;  but  it  was  con- 
vened by  the  Vice -Chancellor  on  other  days  also,  as  occasion  required. 
The  business  of  this  Board  was  to  deliberate  on  all  matters  relating  to 
the  maintenance  of  the  privileges  and  liberties  of  the  University,  or  to 
the  due  observance  of  its  statutes  and  customs,  and  generally  to  con- 
sider and  discuss  every  measure  tending  to  the  improvement  or  benefit

of  the  University  before  such  measure  should  be  submitted  for  the 
approval  of  the  whole  academical  body  in  Convocation  assembled.  It 
thus  had  the  initiative  in  all  the  legislation  of  the  University,  and  in 
fact  no  question  of  any  sort  could  be  submitted  to  the  votes  of  Convo- 
cation without  the  sanction  of  this  Board. 

In  this  constitution  of  the  University  the  Act  of  Parliament  of  1854 
above  referred  to  (17  and  18  Vict.  c.  81)  made  a  considerable  change. 
It  left  indeed,  at  least  it  has  been  interpreted  as  having  left,  the  two  an- 
cient assemblies  of  Congregation  and  Convocation  :  but  it  added  a  third, 
which  is  now  called,  in  the  terms  of  the  Act,  the  Congregation  of 
the  University  oe  Oxford  ;  and  it  transferred  all  the  "  powers, 
privileges,  and  functions"  of  the  old  Hebdomadal  Board  to  another 
body  of  persons,  called  the  Hebdomadal  Council. 

The  Hebdomadal  Council  consists  of  some  official  and  some 
elected  members.  The  official  members  are  the  Chancellor,  the  Vice- 
Chancellor,  the  late  Vice-Chancellor  (for  one  year  at  least  from  the 
expiration  of  his  term  of  office),  and  the  two  Proctors.  The  elected 
members  are  six  Heads  of  Colleges  or  Halls,  six  Professors,  and  six 
other  members  of  Convocation,  who  however  may  be  Heads  of  Houses 
or  Professors,  and  the  six  Professors  may  be  Heads  of  Houses.  These 
persons  are  elected  by  the  Congregation  of  the  University  of  Oxford 
for  six  years,  in  such  a  manner  that  one-half  of  each  of  the  three 
classes  vacate  their  seats  every  three  years,  being,  however,  capable  of 
re-election.  To  this  Council,  as  has  been  stated  above,  "all  powers, 
privileges,  and  functions  possessed  or  exercised  by  the  Hebdomadal 
Board"  have  been  transferred,  and  therefore  it  has  the  initiative  in  all 
the  legislation  of  the  University. 

The  ancient  House  OF  Congregation  remains  unchanged  in 
its  constitution,  but  it  has  now  nothing  to  do  with  legislation  in  any 
form,  and  its  business  is  confined  almost  exclusively  to  the  granting  of 
degrees,  a  matter  upon  which  in  ancient  times  the  persons  of  whom  the 
House  is  composed  were  necessarily  the  fittest  judges  \ 

The  new  Congregation  of  the  University  of  Oxford 
comprises,  besides  certain  officials,  persons  who  have  resided  within  one 

1  The  framers  of  the  Act  of  1854  certainly  intended  that  the  old  Congregation  should 
he  superseded  by  the  new,  which,  as  the  Bill  was  first  drawn,  was  to  consist  of  those 
persons  only  who  in  these  days  are  engaged  in  the  discipline  and  education  of  the 
University,  just  as  the  ancient  House  is  composed  of  those  only  who  in  ancient  times 
were  charged  with  that  discipline  and  education.  But  this  restriction  being  opposed 
in  the  House  of  Commons,  the  minister  who  had  charge  of  the  Bill  consented  to  admit 
into  the  new  assembly  all  resident  Members  of  Convocation.  And,  shortly  after  the 
passing  of  the  Act,  a  legal  opinion  was  given  by  a  lawyer  of  great  eminence,  that  it  did 
not  abolish  the  old  House  of  Congregation. 


14  UNIVERSITY   OF    OXFORD. 

nnli'  and  a-half  of  Carfax  for  twenty  weeks  during  the  year  which 
ended  on  the  Brat  day  of  September  last  preceding.  The  Chancellor  or 
Vice-chancellor,  with  the  Proctors,  preside  at  its  meetings,  as  in  the 
two  ancient  Bouses.    No  particular  number  of  members  is  requisite  to 

make  a  meeting.  Its  business  is  confined  almost  exclusively  to  matters 
nt  legislation. 

A  New  Statute  having  been  in  the  first  place  framed  by  the 
Hebdomadal  Council,  must  then  be  promulgated,  after  clue  notice,  in 
Congregation,  and  the  question  that  the  principle  of  the  Statute   as 
stated  in  the  Preamble  be  approved  must  then  be  submitted  to  it.    Any 
member   of  Congregation   may  propose  amendments  at  the  time    of 
promulgation  ;  and  such  amendments,  provided  that  they  have  been 
seconded  by  another  member  of  Congregation,  and  that  they  are  not  in 
the  judgment  of  the  Chancellor  or  his  Deputy   inconsistent  with  or 
irrelevant  to  the  principle  of  the  statute  as  stated  in  the  Preamble, 
must  be  printed  and  taken  into  consideration  at  a  subsequent  meeting 
of  Congregation.     The  Council  may  at  the  same  time  and  on  the  same 
paper  print  any  amendments  which  they  may  think  fit  to  propose.    If 
any  such  amendments,  whether  proposed  by  the  Council  or  by  individual 
members  of  Congregation,  are  adopted  by  Congregation,  it  is  in  the 
power  of  either  the  Council  or  any  twelve  members  of  Congregation  to 
propose  further  amendments.    If  no  amendment  be  proposed,  or  when 
all  the  proposed  amendments  and  further  amendments,  if  any,  have 
been  considered   in  Congregation,  the  question  that  the  statute  do 
pass  is  submitted  to  Congregation  on  a  subsequent  day,  of  which  not 
less  than  three  clear  days'  notice  must  be  given.     "Whenever  it  may 
seem  expedient  to  the  Council,  resolutions  containing  the  chief  points 
of  a  proposed  statute  may  be  submitted  to  Congregation  before  the 
statute  itself  is  framed:  and  in  the  event  of  such   resolutions  being 
approved,  Congregation  may  refer  them  to  a  select  committee  for  the 
purpose  of  drawing  up  a  statute.     No  right  of  negative  is  allowed  to 
the  Vice-Chancellor  or  the  Proctors  in  this  assembly,  but  every  ques- 
tion is  decided  by  the   majority  of  votes.      A    statute  approved  by 
Congregation  is  to  be  submitted  to  Convocation  after  an  interval  of 
seven  entire  days  for  final  adoption  or  rejection. 

In  the  House  of  Convocation,  consisting  (as  may  be  said)  of  all 
Masters  of  Arts  and  all  Doctors  of  the  three  superior  faculties  who 
have  their  names  upon  the  books  of  some  College  or  Hall  or  on  the 
register  of  Students  not  belonging  to  any  College  or  Hall,  every  formal 
act  of  the  University,  and  all  its  business  as  a  corporate  body,  except 
only  what  relates  to  the  granting  of  ordinary  degrees,  is  done  and 


CONSTITUTION.  15 

concluded.  Statutes,  which  have  passed  Congregation,  do  not  become 
binding  enactments  until  they  have  had  the  assent  of  this  assembly. 
Matters  of  special  or  individual  concern,  and  such  as  require  immediate 
provision,  are  settled  by  decree  of  Convocation.  Honorary  Degrees  are 
given  by  consent  of  Convocation,  and.  it.  is  in  this  House  also  that 
eminent  persons  occasionally  receive  degrees  conferred  out  of  the 
ordinary  course  either  by  decree  or  by  diploma.  It  is  in  Convocation 
also  that  nearly  all  elections  to  offices  in  the  gift  of  the  University  take 
place.  Petitions  to  Parliament,  and  other  documents  which  require 
the  common  seal  of  the  University  for  their  validity,  here  receive  the 
sanction  of  the  academical  body.  No  proposition,  however,  whether 
general  or  special,  can  originate  in  Convocation  itself,  either  as  a  sub- 
stantive measure,  or  as  an  amendment  to  such  a  measure :  nothing  is 
brought  forward  here  but  what  has  been  devised  and  approved  by  the 
Hebdomadal  Council ;  and  Convocation  has  only  to  accept  it  in  the 
very  terms  in  which  it  is  proposed,  or  to  reject  it  altogether. 

For  the  better  management  of  certain  matters,  chiefly  matters  of 
administration  or  detail,  Convocation  often  delegates  its  authority,  or 
some  limited  portion  of  it,  to  a  committee  chosen  from  itself ;  and  the 
persons  selected  for  such  committee  are  called  Delegates  or  Curators. 
Thus  there  are  standing  Delegacies  of  the  Press  and  of  Privileges ;  and 
others  are  appointed  occasionally  to  carry  up  addresses  to  the  Throne,  or 
for  the  transaction  of  business  away  from  Oxford.  These  Delegates  are 
either  elected  or  approved  by  Convocation,  or  are  at  least  nominated  by 
the  Proctors  in  Convocation.  But  of  late  years  Delegacies  have  been 
constituted  with  whose  election  or  approval  Convocation  has  nothing  to 
do  directly.  There  is  a  Delegacy  of  the  Museum,  of  which  two-thirds  are 
elected  by  the  Congregation  of  the  University,  the  other  third  being  the 
Vice-Chancellor  and  Proctors  ;  and  a  Delegacy  of  Local  Examinations, 
of  which  (besides  the  Vice-Chancellor  and  Proctors)  one-third  is  nomi- 
nated by  the  Hebdomadal  Council  from  itself,  one-third  by  the  Con- 
gregation of  the  University,  and  one-third  by  the  Vice-Chancellor 
and  Proctors.  And  it  has  been  provided  by  statute,  that,  of  ex- 
traordinary Delegates  appointed  for  the  conduct  of  business  within 
the  precinct  of  the  University,  one-third  is  to  be  elected  by  the  Heb- 
domadal Council  from  its  own  body,  the  Council  itself  having  been 
elected  by  the  Congregation  of  the  University. 

The  constitution  of  the  University  as  settled  under  the  Act  of 
1854  was  not  affected  by  the  legislation  undertaken  by  the  Commis- 
sioners appointed  under  the  Universities  of  Oxford  and  Cambridge 
Act,  1877. 


OFFICERS  OF   THE   UNIVERSITY. 


The  Chancellor. 

The  Chancellor  of  the  University  of  Oxford  is  elected  by  the 
Members  of  Convocation,  and  (unless  he  resigns  in  the  meantime) 
holds  the  office  until  death.  Anciently  this  office  was  holden  for  very 
short  periods,  seldom  for  more  than  four  years,  and  for  the  most  part 
by  some  resident  member  of  the  University,  until  the  Chancellorship 
of  John  Russell,  Bishop  of  Lincoln,  who  was  elected  in  1483,  and  re- 
tained it  till  his  death  in  1494.  No  stipend  is  assigned  to  it :  on  the 
contrary,  the  custom  of  many  years  has  entailed  expenses  on  its  holder.

1  Several  names  here  given  rest  upon  very  doubtful  evidence.  The  lists  compiled 
by  Le  Neve,  Wood,  and  others  from  various  sources  have  in  the  main  been  followed  : 
they  are  useful,  but  must  not  be  relied  upon  entirely.  Grimbald,  Beategravius,  Robert 
Canutus,  Robert  Pulleyne,  and  Alard,  are  mentioned  as  having  held  the  office  of  Chan- 
cellor previous  to  the  year  1220,  but  there  is  no  sufficient  authority  for  the  statement.

20  OFFICERS   OF   THE   UNIVERSITY. 


The  IIigh  Steward. 

The  BenesGhallus,  or  High  Steward,  is  appointed  by  the  Chan* 
cellar,  and  approved  by  Convocation.  His  special  duty  is  to  hear  and 
determine  criminal  causes  of  the  gravest  kind,  such  as  treason  and 
felony,  at  the  mandate  of  the  Chancellor,  and  according  to  the  laws  of 
the  land  and  the  privileges  of  the  University,  whenever  the  prisoner  is 
a  scholar  or  privileged  person  resident  within  the  precinct  of  the  Uni- 
versity. The  office  is  holden  for  life.  There  is  also  a  Deputy  Steward, 
appointed  in  like  manner.  The  ancient  stipend  of  the  High  Steward 
is  £5  a-year ;  the  Deputy  Steward  has  £2. 

The  privilege  of  having  such  criminal  causes  tried  by  an  Officer  of 
the  University  was  first  granted  by  Henry  IV  in  1406  ;  and,  although  the 
language  of  his  charter  is  quite  consistent  with  the  supposition  that  the 
office  of  High  Steward  was  in  existence  previously,  there  is  no  record 
to  shew  that  it  really  did  exist  before  that  time.  Indeed  the  Registers 
of  the  University  supply  no  name  of  any  High  Steward  for  nearly  fifty 
years  afterwards.

VICE-CHANCELLORS.  21 

The  Vice-Chancellor. 

The  Chancellors  from  the  earliest  times,  even  when  they  were  still 
resident  in  the  University,  were  assisted  in  the  administration  of  justice 
and  in  the  discharge  of  other  business  by  Deputies,  whose  number 
varied,  and  who  perhaps  were  often  appointed  for  special  purposes 
rather  than  for  definite  periods  of  time.  These  Officers  were  for  the 
most  part  called  Commissaries  ;  till  in  the  middle  of  the  sixteenth 
century  the  title  Pro-CFancellor  or  Vice-Chancellor  began  to  be  em- 
ployed, the  latter  of  which,  from  the  year  1574,  has  quite  superseded 
the  ancient  name.  The  Commissaries  appear  to  have  been  always 
nominated  by  the  Chancellors,  except  for  the  few  years  during  which 
the  Edwardine  Statutes,  given  by  the  King's  Visitors  in  1549,  were  in 
full  force.  In  1568  the  Earl  of  Leicester  set  aside  the  right  of  free 
election,  which  those  statutes  had  vested  in  the  House  of  Congregation, 
and  resumed  the  ancient  practice.  The  office  seems  to  have  become 
annual  in  the  earlier  part  of  the  sixteenth  century. 

Under  the  Laudian  Statutes  the  Vice-Chancellor  is  annually 
nominated  by  the  Chancellor  from  the  Heads  of  Colleges.  The  Letters 
of  nomination  are  read  in  Convocation,  shortly  before  the  beginning  of 
Michaelmas  Term,  by  the  Senior  Proctor,  and  the  new  Vice-Chancellor 
then  immediately  makes  the  requisite  declarations,  and  enters  upon 
his  office.  The  Vice-Chancellor  appoints  four  deputies,  or  Pro-

OFFICERS   OF   THE    UNIVERSITY. 


Froctoes. 

The  two  Troctors  of  the  University  were  elected  anciently  in 
Convocation  ;  but,  the  elections  having  hccoine  very  tumultuous,  the 
method  was  changed  by  an  ordinance  of  King  Charles  I,  and  from  the 
year  1629  the  choice  was  made  within  the  several  Colleges  according  to 
i  cycle  of  twenty-three  years,  which  lasted  through  ten  revolutions. 
In  1869  a  new  cycle  of  thirty  years  began,  adapted  to  the  then  existing 
condition  of  the  Colleges,  and  comprising  with  them  the  Halls  jointly. 
In  and  after  1889  the  Proctors  will  be  elected  by  the  Colleges  and  the 
iirw  foundation  of  Keble  College  singly,  and  the  Non-Collegiate 
Students  and  Private  Halls  jointly,  in  a  cycle  of  simple  rotation  by 
which  an  election  will  fall  to  each  of  the  electing  bodies  once  in  eleven 
years.  The  electors  are  at  present  all  those  members  of  the  several 
Societies  who,  being  Members  of  Convocation,  are  also,  or  have  at  any 
time  been,  Members  of  the  Congregation  of  the  University,  and  all  those 
Fellows  and  Scholars  of  a  College  who  are  Members  of  Convocation. 
Any  such  elector  may  be  elected  to  the  office,  provided  he  has  com- 
pleted four  and  has  not  completed  fifteen  years  from  his  admission  to 
Eegency  in  Arts.  The  election  is  made  on  the  Wednesday  after  the 
first  Sunday  in  Lent ;  and  on  the  second  (or  occasionally  on  the  first) 
Wednesday  after  Easter  the  new  Proctors  are  admitted  to  their  offices 
in  Convocation,  and  take  their  seats.  They  nominate  each  two  Masters 
of  Arts,  of  three  years'  standing  at  the  least,  to  be  their  respective 
deputies  or  Pro-Proctors.  Each  Proctor  receives  an  annual  stipend  of 
.£350,  each  Pro-Proctor  £80.

The  Chancellor's  Court. 

The  Chancellor  has  jurisdiction  in  almost  all  causes,  whether  civil, 
spiritual,  or  criminal,  in  which  scholars  or  privileged  persons  resident 
within  the  precinct  of  the  University  are  parties.  For  the  exercise  of 
it  a  Court  is  holden  every  Friday  during  Term  in  the  Apodyterium  of 
the  Convocation  House,  in  which  the  Vice-Chancellor  is  the  presiding 
Judge,  and  the  two  Proctors  of  the  University  may,  if  they  please,  sit 
as  assessors.  But  for  the  better  despatch  of  business  the  V ice-Chan- 
cellor appoints  some  Doctor  or  Bachelor  of  Civil  Law  to  sit  with  him  as 
ASSESSOR  and  to  act  as  Judge  for  him  in  his  absence.  The  annual 
stipend  of  such  Assessor  is  ,£40.  The  practice  of  the  Court  in  all  cases 
used  to  be  nearly  the  same  as  the  practice  of  the  Court  of  Admiralty : 
but  by  new  Rules,  made  in  pursuance  of  the  Act  25  and  26  Vict.  c.  26. 
s.  12,  the  form  of  procedure  in  civil  cases,  since  March  1,  1865,  very 
much  resembles  the  form  in  County  Courts.  Appeals  from  it  may  be 
made,  first  to  the  House  of  Congregation,  then  to  the  House  of  Convo- 
cation, (for  which  purpose  Delegates  to  hear  appeals  are  annually 
appointed  in  each  House,)  and  finally,  if  the  three  judgments  differ,  to 
the  Queen  in  Chancery. 

The  Registear  of  the  Court  is  appointed  by  the  Chancellor. 
He  must  be  a  Master  of  Arts  or  a  Bachelor  of  Civil  Law.    Besides  the

duty  of  registering  the  several  Acts  and  Orders  of  the  Court,  it  is  part 
of  his  office  to  attend  at  and  to  record  the  admissions  of  Principals  to 
the  several  Halls,  and  to  perform  all  manner  of  business,  whether  of 
contentious  or  voluntary  jurisdiction,  arising  from  the  authority  of  thu 
Chancellor. 

Proctors  ad  lites,  three  in  number  at  the  least,  who  must  he 
Masters  of  Arts  or  Bachelors  of  Civil  Law,  or  else  either  Barristers  <>r 
Solicitors,  are  appointed  and  admitted  by  the  Vice-Chancellor  to 
practise  in  the  Court.

The  Public  Orator. 

The  office  of  Public  Orator  was  first  permanently  established  in  1564, 
the  previous  custom  being  that  the  Chancellor  or  Vice-Chancellor 
selected  some  fit  person  on  each  occasion  to  perform  the  duties  attached 
to  it.  It  is  his  business  to  write  letters  and  addresses  and  to  make 
orations  in  the  name  of  the  University  upon  public  occasions,  to  present 
those  on  whom  the  honorary  degree  of  Master  of  Arts  is  to  be  conferred, 
and  to  deliver  the  annual  Creweian  Oration  alternately  with  the  Pro- 
fessor of  Poetry.    He  is  one  of  those  appointed  to  adjudge  several  of 


12  OFFICERS   OF    THE    UNIVERSITY. 

the  University  Prizes.  He  must  be  a  Member  of  Convocation,  and  is 
elected  by  that  body.  The  stipend  originally  assigned  to  the  office  was 
a  yearly  pension  of  twenty  imblos,  X'C,  1.5s.  4<1.,  from  the  University 
Chest ;  which  was  increased  in  1811  by  a  grant  of  ,£70,  and  again  in 
L866  by  a  still  further  giant  of  £60,  making  a  total  of  £130  from  the 
Bame  BOnrce,  and  by  X'"J0  from  Lord  Crewe's  benefaction. 

In  1636  King  Charles  I.  annexed  a  Canon ry  of  Christ  Church  to  this 
office:  hut  the  grant,  never  having  been  eonfirmed  by  Act  of  Parlia- 
ment,  was  disregarded  in  1660,  when  Robert  South  was  elected  Oiator ; 
and,  although  hewas  made  a  Canon  ten  years  afterwards,  that  dignity 
has  not  been  conferred  on  any  of  his  successors. 

A  Statute  made  by  the  University  Commissioners  in  1881  renders 
the  Public  Orator  subject  to  the  jurisdiction  of  the  Visitatorial  Board 
created  by  the  same  Statute.

Clebks  of  the  Market. 

Control  of  the  Market,  in  order  to  secure  fair  dealing  in  provisions  of 
all  kinds,  was  granted  to  the  Chancellor  l>y  King  Edward  III.  in  1355. 
In  the  days  when  prices  were  fixed  by  authority  it  was  the  Chancellor 
who  fixed  them  in  Oxford  ;  and  whatever  jurisdiction  in  such  matters 
can  now  be  exercised  by  magistrates  anywhere  is  exercised  by  the 
Chancellor  or  Vice-Chancellor  here.  Two  Clerks  of  the  Market  are 
annually  appointed,  one  by  the  Chancellor,  the  other  by  the  Vice- 
Chancellor.  They  must  be  either  Principals  of  Halls,  Masters  of  i^rts, 
or  Bachelors  of  Divinity,  Medicine,  or  Law.  The  stipend  of  each 
Clerk  is  fixed  by  Statute  at  ,£26  a  year.  There  is  also  a  Deputy 
Clerk. 


The  Keeper  oe  the  Archives. 

This  office  was  instituted  in  1634.  It  is  the  Keeper's  duty  to  take 
charge  of  and  to  arrange  all  the  muniments  and  papers  concerning 
either  the  Estates,  Possessions,  Eights,  and  Privileges  of  the  Univer- 
sity, or  the  Endowments  of  Professorships,  and  all  the  Eegisters  and 
Records  of  the  University.  He  is  a  Delegate  of  Privileges  ex  officio. 
He  is  elected  by  Convocation.  The  yearly  stipend  of  the  office,  origin- 
ally ^40,  was  raised  in  1828  to  ,£'100,  but  was  restored  to  <£'40  in 
1884,  in  wThich  year  a  further  endowment  calculated  to  produce  about 
,£63  annually  was  secured  to  the  office  by  the  liberality  of  the  then 
Keeper,  Dr.  Griffiths. 

A  Statute  made  by  the  University  Commissioners  in  1881  renders 
the  Keeper  of  the  Archives  subject  to  the  jurisdiction  of  the  Visitatorial 
Board  created  by  the  same  Statute.

PKOFESSOESHIPS. 


The  pages  immediately  following  contain  an  account  of  the  founda- 
tion of  each  of  the  Professorships  now  existing  within  the  University, 
and  of  the  manner  in  which  the  appointments  to  them  are  made. 

It  should  here  be  mentioned  that  one  of  the  chief  features  in  the  legis- 
lation carried  out  by  the  University  Commissioners  under  the  Act  of 
1877  was  the  augmentation  of  the  value  of  many  of  the  Professor- 
ships, by  attaching  to  them  Fellowships  and  other  emoluments  drawn 
from  the  revenues  of  Colleges,  while  the  endowment  of  many  new  Chairs 
has  been  provided  for  from  the  same  sources. 

As  a  general  rule  Professorships  are  now  tenable  for  life.  Except 
in  the  case  of  those  Chairs  the  appointment  to  which  belongs  to  the 
Crown,  and  of  a  few  others,  the  election  to  every  Professorship  is  vested 
in  an  Electoral  Board  consisting  of  not  fewer  than  five  or  more  than 
seven  members,  and  provision  is  made  for  the  representation  on  each 
Board  of  the  College  (if  any)  from  whose  revenues  the  Professorship  is 
endowed  or  augmented. 

The  general  duties  of  Professors  are  regulated  under  a  Statute  made 
by  the  Commissioners  defining  the  amount  of  residence,  number  of 
lectures,  and  course  of  instruction  required  of  each.  The  particular 
duties  assigned  to  each  Professor  are  partly  regulated  by  the  same 
Statute,  and  partly  by  Statutes  made  by  the  same  Commissioners  for  the 
several  Professorships.  Under  another  Statute  of  the  Commissioners,  a 
Visitatorial  Board  has  been  constituted,  consisting  of  the  Vice-Chan- 
cellor  and  six  other  members  of  the  University  of  the  degree  of  M.A. 
at  the  least,  to  which  is  committed  the  duty  of  enforcing  the  per- 
formance of  the  obligations  attaching  to  the  Professorships. 


Regius  Professorships  of  Divinity,  Ciyll  Law,  Medicine, 
Hebrew,  and  Greek. 

These  five  Professorships,  founded  by  King  Henry  VIII,  were  settled 
and  confirmed  by  him  in  1546.  To  each  of  them  he  assigned  a  yearly 
stipend  of  ,£40,  to  be  paid  by  the  Dean  and  Chapter  of  Westminster, 
then  newly  founded  ;  but  they  relieved  themselves  of  the  charge  by 
making  over  to  the  King  certain  estates  with  which  he  had  partly  en- 
dowed them,  and  the  Dean  and  Chapter  of  Christ  Church  were  then 
charged  by  the  King  with  the  payment  of  the  stipends  of  the  Professors 
of  Divinity,  Hebrew,  and  Greek  ;  the  Professors  of  Civil  Law  and 
Medicine  receiving  theirs  from  the  Royal  Exchequer.  The  appointment 
to  each  Professorship  is  made  by  the  Crown.

This  Professorship,  the  oldest  existing  in  the  University,  was  founded 
in  1602  by  Margaret,  Countess  of  Richmond,  mother  of  Henry  VI J, 
and  endowed  with  an  annual  pension  of  twenty  marks.  In  1627  King

commuted  by  Act  of  Parliament  in  1840  for  a  Canonry  of  Christ 
<  Ihnrch.  ( Originally  the  election  was  vested  in  the  Graduates  in  Divinity, 
and  the  office  became  vacant  every  two  years,  but  was  continued  by 
re-election  for  life.  Now,  from  1858,  not  only  all  Graduates  in  Divinity, 
but  all  those  Members  of  the  Congregation  of  the  University  who  are 
at  least  in  Deacon's  Orders,  are  electors,  and  the  election  is  for  life. 
The  Professor  must  be  either  a  Graduate  in  Divinity  or  a  Master  of 
Arts  of  seven  years'  standing  and  in  Priest's  Orders.

SAVILIAN   PEOFESSOESHIP   OF   GEOMETRY.  51 


Savilian  Pkofessoeships  of  Geometry  and  Astronomy. 

In  the  year  1619  Sir  Henry  Savile,  Knight,  Warden  of  Merton 
College,  founded  and  endowed  two  Professorships,  one  in  Geometry,, 
and  the  other  in  Astronomy.  The  Professors  might  be  chosen  from  any 
part  of  Christendom,  provided  they  were  persons  of  good  character  and 
repute,  well  skilled  in  mathematics,  and  twenty-six  years  of  age :  if 
Englishmen,  they  were  to  be  M.A.  at  the  least. 

Under  Statutes  made  for  New  College  by  the  Commissioners  of  1877 
a  Fellowship  in  the  College,  with  an  emolument  of  <£200  a-year,  is 
attached  to  each  Chair,  and  in  addition  to  the  income  of  such  Fellowship 
and  to  that  arising  from  the  Savilian  endowment,  each  Professor  is  to 
receive  from  the  College  an  annual  payment  of  ,£400,  which,  however, 
in  years  when  the  income  from  the  Savilian  endowment  exceeds  ,£300, 
is  to  be  reduced  by  the  amount  of  the  excess.  The  effect  of  these 
provisions  is  that  the  emoluments  of  each  Professorship  will  ultimately 
be  not  less  than  £900  a  year. 


Satilian  Professor  of  Geometry. 

The  Professor  is  elected  by  a  Bond  consisting  of  the  Chancellor  of 
the  University,  the  President  of  the  Eoyal  Society,  the  Warden  of  New 
College,  a  person  nominated  on  each  occasion  by  the  Warden  and 
Fellows  of  New  College  to  act  as  an  Elector  on  that  occasion,  the 
Sadlerian  Professor  of  Pure  Mathematics  in  the  University  of  Cam- 
bridge, the  Sedleian  Professor  of  Natural  Philosophy,  and  a  person 
nominated  on  each  occasion  by  the  Hebdomadal  Council  to  act  as  an 
Elector  on  that  occasion.  If  the  Warden  of  New  College  is  unable  to 
act  as  an  Elector,  the  College  may  appoint  a  person  to  act  in  his 
stead.

Sedleian  Professorship  of  Natural  Philosophy. 

This  Professorship  was  founded  by  Sir  William  Sedley,  of  Aylesford 
in  Kent,  Bart,,  who  by  his  Will,  dated  October  20,  1618,  bequeathed 
the  sum  of  ,£2000  to  the  University,  to  be  laid  out  in  the  purchase  of 
lands,  for  its  endowment ;  and  his  bequest  took  effect  in  1621.  The 
stipend  arising  from  this  endowment  now  amounts  to  about  £300  a 
year,  and  is  further  augmented  by  an  annual  payment  of  £270  from 
the  revenues  of  Queen's  College  under  an  ordinance  of  the  University 
Commissioners  of  1854. 

Under  Statutes  made  for  Queen's  College  by  the  Commissioners  of 
1877  this  augmentation  is  hereafter  to  be  increased  from  the  College 
revenues  by  such  an  amount  as  shall  raise  the  income  of  the  Professor- 
ship to  £900  a  year.

Whyte's  Proeessoeship  of  Moral  Philosophy. 

This  Professorship  was  founded  in  the  year  1621  by  Thomas  "Whyte, 
D.D.,  Canon  of  Christ  Church,  who  charged  an  estate  in  Essex,  which 
he  then  conveyed  to  the  University,  with  an  annual  stipend  of  ,£100 
for  the  Professor  and  with  other  payments.  He  made  the  Chair  tenable 
for  five  years  only,  or  at  the  most  for  ten,  and  appointed  the  Yice- 
Chancellor,  the  Dean  of  Christ  Church,  the  Presidents  of  Magdalen 
and  St.  John's,  and  the  two  Proctors,  to  be  the  electors. 

In  1673  a  practice  began  of  electing  one  of  the  Proctors,  usually  the 
Senior,  to  the  office ;  in  course  of  time  the  Lectures  were  entirely 
dropped ;  and  at  length  the  Professorship  was  so  forgotten,  that  it  was 
never  mentioned  in  the  Oxford  Calendar  before  the  year  1831,  the 
abuse  having  continued,  with  one  exception  only,  till  February  1829. 

The  Professorship  was  established  on  a  new  footing  by  a  Statute 
which  was  approved  by  the  Queen  in  Council  in  1858. 

It  is  now  regulated  by  Statutes  made  by  the  Commissioners  of  1877, 
under  which  the  stipend  of  the  Professor  will  be  ultimately  raised  to 
,£900  a-ycar,  namely,  £100  from  the  original  endowment,  and  the 
residue,  including  the  emoluments  of  a  Fellowship  in  Corpus  Christi 
College  attached  to  the  Professorship,  from  the  revenues  of  that 
College.

AND  I'RjECENTOR. 

"William  Heather,  Doctor  in  Music,  founded  this  Professorship  in  the 
year  lb'26,  making  the  office  annual,  and  vesting  the  appointment  in 
the  Proctors.  JIc  also  made  provision  f<»r  a  Choragus,  or  Master 
of  Musical  Praxis,  to  be  elected  by  the  Vice-Chancellor,  the  Dean 
of  Christ  Church,  the  Warden  of  New  College,  and  the  Presidents  of 
Magdalen  and  St.  John's.  He  assigned  to  his  Professor  a  stipend  of 
£3^ to  which  the  University  at  once  added  £2  5s.  (a  sum  previously 
received  by  the  ancient  Reader  in  Moral  Philosophy),  and  to  which 
Nathaniel,  Lord  Crewe,  Bishop  of  Durham,  afterwards  added  ,£30. 
The  stipend  of  the  Choragus  is  ,£13  6s.  8(7. 

By  a  new  Statute,  approved  by  the  Queen  in  Council  in  1857,  the 
Professor  is  elected  for  life  by  the  Vice-Chancellor,  the  Warden  of  New 
College,  the  President  of  Magdalen,  the  Dean  of  Christ  Church,  the 
President  of  St.  John's,  the  two  Proctors,  the  two  Savilian  Professors, 
and  the  Professor  of  Poetry  ;  and  the  Choragus  is  elected  by  the  Vice- 
Chancellor,  the  two  Proctors,  the  Professor  of  Music,  and  the  Public 
Orator ;  each  election  being  subject  to  the  approval  of  Convocation. 
And  it  has  been  enacted  that  there  shall  be  a  Prxcentor  or  Coryphxus, 
nominated  by  the  Professor  of  Music,  subject  to  the  approval  of  Con- 
vocation, who  is  to  assist  the  Choragus.  The  stipend  of  the  Professor 
is  augmented  to  £100  out  of  the  University  Chest,  besides  the  benefac- 
tion of  Lord  Crewe.  The  stipend  of  the  Choragus  is  the  same  as 
Dr.  Heather  left  it,  but  he  shares  with  the  Prsecentor  in  the  fees  paid 
by  Students.

Laudian  Pkofessokship  of  Aeabic1. 

Founded  in  1636  by  William  Laud,  Archbishop  of  Canterbury,  and 
Chancellor  of  the  University,  who  endowed  it  with  lands  in  the  parish 
of  Bray,  in  Berkshire,  which  gave  but  a  small  stipend.  The  income  has 
subsequently  been  augmented  to  ,£'300  out  of  the  University  Chest. 

Under  Statutes  made  by  the  Commissioners  of  1877  for  the  Univer- 
sity and  St.  John's  College  respectively,  future  Professors  will  ultimately 
receive,  in  addition  to  the  emoluments  arising  from  Archbishop  Laud's 
benefaction,  an  annual  payment  of  ,£450  from  the  revenues  of  the  Col- 
lege. From  the  time  when  such  sum  shall  become  payable  the  holder 
of  the  Professorship  is  to  be  ex  officio  a  Fellow  of  the  College. 

The  Professor  is  hereafter  to  be  elected  by  a  Board  consisting  of  the 
Secretary  of  State  for  India,  the  President  of  St.  John's  College,  the 
Regius  Professor  of  Hebrew,  the  Boden  Professor  of  Sanskrit,  and 
Bodley's  Librarian.  If  the  President  of  St.  John's  College  is  unable  to 
act  as  an  Elector,  the  College  may  appoint  a  person  to  act  in  his  stead.

Pkofessoeship  of  Botany. 

In  compliance  with  the  Will  of  Henry  Dan  vers,  Earl  of  Danby,  by 
whose  munificence  during  the  period  1622-1633  the  Botanic  Garden 
was  founded,  the  impropriate  Rectory  of  Kirkdale  in  Yorkshire  was 
conveyed  to  the  University  for  the  purpose,  1.  of  paying  £40  a-year  to 
a  Gardener  ;  2.  of  building  a  house  for  the  Gardener  ;  3.  of  defraying  the 
necessary  expenses  of  the  Garden  ;  and  then  (if  possible)  establishing 
a  Professor.  This  bequest  took  effect  in  1659  ;  and  in  1669,  although 
the  revenue  was  very  small,  the  University  elected  a  Professor,  assigning 
to  him  a  stipend  of  ,£40  a-year.  But  that  Professor,  Dr.  Morison,  stands 
alone  ;  no  immediate  successor  was  elected  by  Convocation. 

In  1728,  William  Sherard,  D.C.L.,  sometime  Fellow  of  St.  John's 

College,  bequeathed  to  the  University  his  Library  and  very  valuable 

Herbarium,  and  £3000  for  the  endowment  of  a  Professorship,  vesting 

the  nomination  in  the  College  of  Physicians.     Dr.  Sherard's  bequest 

1  The  election  to  this  Professorship  has  been  for  the  present  suspended. 


58  professors. 

took  effect  in  1734,  and,  in  compliance  with  a  condition  in  bis  Will, 
the  University  then  charged  its  rents  and  revenues  with  an  annual  pay- 
ment of  £160  for  the  maintenance  of  the  Garden. 

In  1793  King  George  III  granted  the  .sum  of  ,£200  yearly,  which 
was  reduced  by  tecs  of  office  to  ,£182,  half  to  augment  the  stipend  of 
the  Professor,  and  half  towards  the  maintenance  of  the  Garden;  which 
sum,  since  the  remission  of  certain  stain})  duties  in  1855,  has  been  paid 
from  the  University  Chest  in  the  following  proportions,  £'100  to  the 
Professor  and  ,£82  to  the  Curators  of  the  Garden. 

To  this  foundation  Dr.  Sibthorp  ('who  was  Professor  of  Botany 
1784 — 96)  attached  a  Professorship  oi  Rural  Economy1,  but  the  two 
Professorships  are  now  separated,  a  Statute  made  for  Magdalen  College 
by  the  University  Commissioners  of  1877  having  provided  that  in  the 
event  of  the  two  Professorships  ceasing  to  be  combined,  but  not  other- 
wise, a  Fellowship  in  the  College  should  be  attached  to  the  Professorship 
of  Botany,  and  further  that  the  emoluments  of  that  Professorship  should 
be  augmented  from  the  College  revenues  to  ,£300  a-year. 

The  Professor  of  Botany  is  elected  by  a  Board  consisting  of  the 
Visitor  and  the  President  of  Magdalen  College,  the  Presidents  of  the 
Linnsean  Society  and  of  the  College  of  Physicians,  a  person  (at  present 
Bartholomew  Price,  M.A.,  Fellow  of  Pembroke  College)  nominated  by 
the  Hebdomadal  Council  as  a  permanent  Elector,  subject  to  approval 
by  Convocation,  the  Linacre  Professor  of  Human  and  Comparative 
Anatomy,  and  the  Professor  of  Botany  in  the  University  of  Cambridge. 

The  charge  and  supervision  of  the  Botanic  Garden  are  committed 
to  the  Professor  of  Botany,  to  be  exercised  by  him  subject  to  such 
authority  as  may  for  the  time  being  be  vested  in  the  Curators  of  the 
Garden.

queathed for  the  endowment  an  estate  which  he  held  by  lease  from  the 
Dean  and  Chapter  of  Durham.  His  bequest  took  effect  in  1708.  The 
fee-simple  of  the  estate  was  subsequently  purchased  by  the  University, 
and  in  1885  was  sold  under  the  provisions  of  the  Universities  and 
College  Estates  Act,  1858.  The  yearly  stipend  of  the  Professorship 
consists  of  about  <£180  from  the  proceeds  of  the  estate,  and  is  increased

Tup:  Lord  Almoner's  Professorship  of  Arabic. 

The  origin  of  this  Professorship  cannot  be  ascertained,  for  the  records 
of  the  Almonry  Office  anterior  to  the  year  3724  perished  in  a  tire  which 
took  place  many  years  ago  in  St.  James's  Palace.  13ut  it  is  probable 
that  the  first  appointment  was  made  in  the  reign  of  George  I,  and 
that  no  person  held  it  before  the  eminent  Orientalist  John  Gagnier, 
whose  name  is  now  the  first  on  record,  and  who,  in  1717,  was  appointed 
by  tin;  Yi<<-<  hancellor  to  give  public  Lectures  in  Arabic  in  the  absence 
of  the  Landian  Professor. 

The  Professor  is  appointed  by  the  Lord  High  Almoner.  The  yearly 
stipend,  which  at  first  was  only  ,£25,  was  raised  to  £50  in  1770,  but 
this  sum  was  considerably  reduced  by  fees  of  office  in  the  Exchequsr ; 
it  is  now  stated  to  be  £50  net.

Regius  Professorship  of  Modern  History. 

This  Professorship  was  founded  by  King  George  I  in  1724,  with  an 
annual  stipend  of  £400,  reduced  by  fees  of  office  to  £371,  to  be  paid 
from  the  Exchequer.  After  the  remission  of  certain  stamp  duties  in 
1855  the  stipend  became  a  charge  on  the  revenues  of  the  University, 
and  by  an  ordinance  of  the  University  Commissioners  of  1855  the 
endowment  was  augmented  by  the  annual  sum  of  £250  from  the 
revenues  of  Oriel  College. 

Regulations  concerning  tbe  duties  of  the  Professor  were  made  by 
Letters  Patent  under  the  Great  Seal  in  1859.  The  original  regulations 
comprised  a  scheme  for  instruction  in  modern  languages,  which  is  now 
provided  by  Sir  Robert  Taylor's  bequest. 

Under  Statutes  made  by  the  Commissioners  of  1877  for  the  Univer- 
sity and  Oriel  College  respectively,  the  stipend  of  the  Professor  will 
ultimately  be  £900  a-year,  namely,  £300  from  the  University  Chest, 
and  the  residue,  including  the  emoluments  of  a  Professor-Fellowship  in 
Oriel  College  annexed  to  the  Chair,  from  the  revenues  of  that  College.

PROFESSOESHIP  OF  EXPERIMENTAL  PHILOSOPHY. 

This  Professorship  is  due  to  the  bounty  of  Nathaniel,  Lord  Crewe, 
Bishop  of  Durham  1674 — 1722,  who  desired  that  ,£30  out  of  the  annual 
Benefaction  of  ,£200  which  he  bequeathed  to  the  University  should 
be  paid  to  "  a  Reader  of  Experimental  Philosophy."  It  began  in  1749, 
when  his  bequest  was  first  received  ;  but  Public  Lectures  on  the  sub- 
ject were  previously  given.  To  this  small  stipend  King  George  IV, 
while  Prince  Eegent,  added  a  grant  of  ,£100  a-year  from  the  revenues 
of  the  Crown ;  which  sum,  after  the  remission  of  certain  stamp  duties 
in  1855,  was  paid  from  the  University  Chest.  The  University  further 
augmented  the  stipend  to  ,£300  a-year  ;  and,  under  an  ordinance  of  the 
University  Commissioners  of  1855,  the  Professor  also  received  the 
annual  sum  of  ,£200  from  the  revenues  of  Wadham  College.  The 
Professor  was  appointed  by  the  Vice-Chancellor  alone  until  the  year 
1863 ;  then  by  a  Board  of  Electors. 

Under  Statutes  made  by  the  Commissioners  of  1877  for  the  Univer- 
sity and  "Wadham  College  respectively,  the  total  emoluments  of  the 
Professorship,  exclusive  of  fees,  are  ultimately  to  be  not  less  than  £'700 
or  more  than  £900  a-year.  A  non-stipendiary  Fellowship  in  "Wadham 
College  is  also  annexed  to  the  Chair. 

The  Professor  is  hereafter  to  be  elected  by  a  Board  consisting  of  the 
Vice-Chancellor,  the  Warden  of  Wadham  College,  the  Sedleian  Professor 
of  Natural  Philosophy,  the  Waynflete  Professor  of  Chemistry,  and  the 
President  of  the  Royal  Society.  If  the  Warden  of  Wadham  College  is 
unable  to  act  as  an  Elector,  the  College  may  appoint  a  person  to  act  in 
his  stead. 

The  Professor  has  the  charge  of  the  Clarendon  Laboratory.

YlNEEIAN  TEOFESSOESniP  OF  COMMON  LAW. 

Charles  Viner,  Esq.,  by  his  Will,  dated  December  20,  1755,  left 
aboul  £12,000  to  the  University,  to  establish  a  Professorship,  and 
to  endow  Bach  Fellowships  and  Scholarships  of  the  Common  Law, 
as  the  produce  of  Ins  legacy  might  be  thought  capable  of  supporting. 
His  bequest  took  effect  in  1758,  and  the  Stipend  of  the  Professorship 
was  then  fixed  at  ,£200  a-year,  and  the  Professor  was  to  be  elected  by 
Convocation. 

Under  a  Statute  approved  by  the  Queen  in  Council  in  1807,  the 
Professor  was  to  be  elected  by  a  Board  thereby  constituted,  and  until 
there  should  be  a  vacancy  in  the  Professorship  a  Reader  was  to  be 
appointed  from  time  to  time  for  three  years,  to  give  instruction  in  Civil 
Law  as  well  as  English  Law.  The  first  Eeader  was  appointed  February 
25,  1808,  and  the  Readership  was  continued  until  December,  1881. 

Under  Statutes  made  by  the  Commissioners  of  1877  for  the  Univer- 
sity and  All  Souls  College  respectively,  the  Professor  receives  the

LICHFIELD   TRUST   FOR  CLINICAL   INSTRUCTION.        63 


Lichfield  Trust  for  Clinical  Instruction. 

A  Professorship  was  founded  for  the  reading  of  Clinical  Lectures  in 
the  Badclifle  Infirmary  to  the  Students  in  Medicine  of  the  University, 
by  the  bounty  of  George  Henry  Lee,  third  Earl  of  Lichfield  of  that 
name,  Chancellor  of  the  University;  who  bequeathed  for  its  endow- 
ment some  property  in  London,  which  in  1780,  when  his  bequest  took 
effect,  produced  a  capital  sum  exceeding  <£7000  in  £3  per  cent.  Con- 
solidated Annuities.  This  Fund  is  invested  in  the  namus  of  the  Chan- 
cellor of  the  University,  the  Bishop  of  Oxford,  and  the  President  of  St. 
John's  College  as  ex  officio  Trustees.  The  Professor  was  chosen  by  Convo- 
cation, and  was  to  be  a  Doctor  of  Medicine  of  five  years'  standing. 

A  Statute  made  for  the  University  by  the  Commissioners  of  1877 
directed  that  the  income  of  the  Trust  Fund  should  be  applied  in  or 
towards  providing  Clinical  instruction  in  Oxford  for  Members  of 
the  University,  such  instruction  to  be  given  by  a  Clinical  Professor, 
or  by  one  or  more  Clinical  Lecturer  or  Lecturers,  and  empowered  the 
University  to  make  Statutes  regulating  the  office  of  any  such  Professor 
or  Lecturer. 

In  exercise  of  this  authority  the  University  in  1883  enacted  that  the 
annual  income  of  the  endowment  should  be  applied  in  and  towards 
providing  Clinical  instruction  in  Medicine  and  Surgery  for  Members 
of  the  University  at  the  Eadcliffe  Infirmary,  subject  to  the  approval  by 
the  Hebdomadal  Council  of  the  rules  made  from  time  to  time  by  the 
Governors  of  the  Infirmary  for  the  admission  of  Students.  If  and  so 
long  as  the  Hebdomadal  Council  is  allowed  to  nominate  four  of  its 
members  to  be  associated  with  the  Electoral  Board  appointed  by  the 
Governors  for  the  appointment  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  of  the 
Infirmary,  one  of  the  Physicians  is  to  be  appointed  Lichfield  Clinical 
Lecturer  in  Medicine,  and  one  of  the  Surgeons  Lichfield  Clinical 
Lecturer  in  Surgery,  each  receiving  an  equal  moiety  of  the  annual 
income  of  the  endowment.  Each  is  to  be  appointed  for  a  term  of 
two  years,  but  is  to  be  capable  of  re-appointment.  The  appointment  is 
to  be  made  by  the  Hebdomadal  Council  after  consultation  with  the 
Medical  Staff  of  the  Infirmary. 

The  provisions  of  the  University  Statute  are  to  remain  in  force  only 
until  the  end  of  the  next  Term  after  any  vacancy  may  occur  in  the 
Regius  Professorship  of  Medicine.

PiAWLINSONIAN   PROFESSORSHIP   OF  ANGLO-SAXON. 

Founded  by  Richard  Rawlinson,  P.C.L.,  of  St.  John's  College,  who 
endowed  it  with  sonic  annual  or  fee-farm  rents,  payable  out  of  certain 
lands  in  Lancashire.  He  directed  that  the  Professorship  should  he 
tenable  for  five  years  only,  that  the  several  Colleges  in  the  University 
should  enjoy  it  one  after  another,  but  that  St.  John's  College  should 
have  every  fifth  turn.  The  endowment  took  effect  in  1795,  forty  years 
after  his  death,  according  to  his  desire. 

By  a  Statute,  sanctioned  by  the  Queen  in  Council  in  1858,  the  Pro- 
fessorship was  made  tenable  for  life,  any  Member  of  Convocation  be- 
came eligible,  and  the  range  of  the  Professor's  lectures  was  no  longer 
confined  to  the  language  of  the  Anglo-Saxons,  but  was  made  to  take 
in  also  the  history  of  that  people,  the  old  Low-German  dialects,  and 
the  antiquities  of  Northern  Europe.  The  election  was  vested  in  the 
Congregation  of  the  University,  and  the  stipend  was  augmented  to  <£300 
a-year  from  the  University  Chest. 

Under  a  Statute  made  by  the  Commissioners  of  1877  the  Professor's 
stipend  remains  as  before ;  the  Professor  is  hereafter  to  be  elected  by  a 
Board  consisting  of  the  Vice-Chan  eel  lor,  the  Merton  Professor  of 
English  Language  and  Literature,  the  Corpus  Christi  Professor  of 
Comparative  Philology,  the  Principal  Librarian  of  the  British  Mu- 
seum, and  a  person  appointed  on  tach  occasion  by  the  Hebdomadal 
Council  to  act  as  an  Elector  on  that  occasion. 

The  University  may  at  any  time  by  Statute  determine  that  this 
Professorship  shall  be  united  with  the  Merton  Professorship  of  English 
Language  and  Literature  (see  post,  page  79),  or  shall  be  capable  of 
being  held  with  it.

These  three  Professorships  were  founded  by  George  Aldrich,  D.M., 
sometime  of  Merton  College,  who  by  his  Will,  proved  Jan.  26,  1798,

by  the  founder  himself  to  the  Tomlins  Prselectorship,  and  so  to  the 
Regius  Professorship  of  Medicine,)  have  by  various  enactments,  and 
ultimately  by  a  Statute  made  by  the  Commissioners  of  1877  concerning 
the  Linacre  Professor  of  Human  and  Comparative  Anatomy,  been 
made  applicable  to  the  payment  of  a  Demonstrator  or  Demonstrators 
in  Anatomy  appointed  by  that  Professor. 

The  Professorship  of  the  Practice  of  Medicine,  which  at  first  was 
in  the  gift  of  Convocation,  and  was  held  from  1803  to  1824  by  Dr. 
Bourne,  afterwards  Clinical  Professor,  and  from  1824  to  1857  by 
Dr.  Ogle,  Clinical  Professor,  was  annexed  under  a  Statute,  sanctioned 
by  the  Queen  in  Council  in  1858,  and  still  operative,  to  the  Eegius 
Professorship  of  Medicine. 

The  Professorship  of  Chemistry  was  in  the  gift  of  Convocation. 
The  stipend  was  augmented  by  King  George  IY,  while  Prince  Eegent, 
by  a  grant  of  £100  from  the  revenues  of  the  Crown  ;  which  sum,  since 
the  remission  of  certain  stamp  duties  in  1855,  has  been  paid  from  the 
University  Chest :  and  the  whole  is  now,  since  the  suppression  of  the 
Professorship  in  1866,  applied  to  the  payment  of  the  salary  of  a 
Demonstrator,  and  to  the  purchase  of  chemical  apparatus  or  other 
means  towards  the  promotion  of  the  study  of  chemistry  in  the 
University.

the  purpose  of  promoting  the  study  of  Sanskrit  literature,  "  being  of 
"  opinion  that  a  more  general  and  critical  knowledge  of  the  Sanskrit 
"  language  will  be  a  means  of  enabling  his  Countrymen  to  proceed  in 
"the  conversion  of  the  Natives  of  India  to  the  Christian  Religion,  by 
"disseminating  a  knowledge  of  the  Sacred  Scriptures  amongst  them, 
"more  effectually  than  all  other  means  whatsoever."  Regulations  for

WYKEHAM  PkOFESSOESHIF  OF  LOGIC. 

Anciently  it  was  the  duty  of  every  Regent  M.A.  to  give  instruction 
in  the  Arts  in  which  he  had  graduated  ;  afterwards  the  University 
provided  that  in  four  of  them,  for  which  no  Chair  had  been  endowed, 
namely,  Grammar,  Rhetoric,  Logic,  and  Metaphysics,  Lectures  should 
be  regularly  given  by  Readers  appointed  for  the  purpose,  who  received 
stipends  from  a  small  tax  levied  upon  the  Inceptors  of  each  year  and 
upon  the  Students  who  Mere  bound  to  attend  the  Lectures.  After  the 
introduction  of  the  Procuratorial  Cycle  in  1629,  these  Readers  were 
chosen  according  to  that  Cycle,  and  held  office  for  two  years.  At 
length  these  Lectures,  like  the  Lectures  on  Moral  Philosophy,  fell 
into  disuse,  and  even  the  form  of  electing  Eeaders  was  dropped, 
although  the  tax  for  their  maintenance  was  still  collected.  This  con- 
tinued till  the  year  1831),  when  a  Statute  was  passed,  which,  omitting 
the  subjects  of  Grammar,  Rhetoric,  and  Metaphysics,  directed  that 
there  should  be  a  regular  Praslector  of  Logic,  elected  by  Convocation 
for  a  period  of  ten  years,  but  capable  of  re-election,  who  should  receive 
as  his  stipend  the  produce  of  a  small  tax  levied  upon  all  Members  of 
the  University  below  the  degree  of  Master  of  Arts.  P>y  subsequent 
Statutes  the  stipend  was  raised  to  ,£"400  a-year,  and  the  Professorship 
made  tenable  for  life.

versity and  New  College  respectively,  the  Professorship  is  henceforth 
to  be  styled  the  Wykeham  Professorship  of  Logic  ;  a  Professor-Fellow-

Hope  Professorship  of  Zoology. 

Founded  in  1861  by  the  Rev.  Frederick  William  Hope,  M.A.  and 
Hon.  D.C.L.,  formerly  of  Ch.  Ch.,  to  whose  munificence  the  University 
is  also  indebted  for  a  large  Entomological  Collection,  a  library   of 


CORPUS   CHRISTI  PROFESSORSHIP  OF   PHILOLOGY.       75 

Natural  History,  and  a  vast  Collection  of  Engraved  Portraits,  and  en- 
dowed l>y  him  with  a  capital  sum  of  £10,000  New  £3  per  cent. 
Annuities.  Mr.  Hope  died  in  the  early  part  of  1862  ;  and  shortly 
afterwards  his  widow,  in  fulfilment  of  his  intentions,  transferred  to  the 
University  a  second  sum  of  £10,000  in  the  same  stock,  and  assigned 
one-third  of  the  dividends  to  the  Professor  in  augmentation  of  his 
stipend.  Mrs.  Hope  assigned  another  third  part  of  the  dividends  as  a 
stipend  for  the  Keeper  of  the  Hope  Collection  of  Engravings  men- 
tioned at  the  end  of  the  article  on  the  Bodleian  Library,  and  directed 
the  remainder  to  be  applied  in  equal  portions  to  keeping  up  and  in- 
creasing the  two  Hope  Collections.  In  December,  18G4,  Mrs.  Hope 
gave  a  further  sum  of  £1666  13s.  4d.  in  the  same  Stock,  to  augment 
the  stipend  of  the  Keeper  of  the  Engravings,  for  the  purpose  of  en- 
abling him  to  employ  an  assistant  and  to  meet  expenses  incidental  to 
his  duties.  Owing  to  a  change  of  investment  the  annual  income  of 
the  combined  endowments  now  amounts  to  about  £800,  of  which  the 
Professor's  share  is  eight-thirteenths,  the  Keeper's  three-thirteenths, 
and  the  residue  is  paid  to  the  Curators  of  the  Hope  Collections. 

The  Founder  himself  nominated  the  first  Professor ;  but  the  elec- 
tion is  now  vested  in  the  Curators  of  the  Hope  Collections  and  the 
Linacre  Professor.  At  the  time  of  his  admission  he  must  be  at  least  a 
Master  of  Arts  or  a  Bachelor  of  Civil  Law  or  Medicine.  He  is  required 
to  superintend  and  arrange  the  Hope  Collection  of  Annulose  Animals, 
and  to  take  charge  of  the  Natural  History  portion  of  the  Hope  Library. 

The  Hope  Curators  are  the  Vice-Chancellor,  the  two  Proctors,  the 
Eegius  Professor  of  Medicine,  the  Keeper  of  the  Ashmolean  Mu- 
seum, and  the  Hope  Professor  by  virtue  of  their  respective  offices,  with 
two  non-official  Curators,  nominated  as  occasion  may  require  by  the 
Curators  for  the  time  being,  subject  to  the  approval  of  Convocation.

P.M.,  late  Fellow  of  All  Souls,  Edward  Chapman,  M.A.,  Fellow  of 
Magdalen,  and  Henry  N.  Moseley,  M.A.,  Fellow  of  Merton,  Linacre 
Professor  of  Human  and  Comparative  Anatomy.

is  to  be  applied  for  the  founding  and  endowing  of  a  Professor,  to  be 
called  Ford's  Professor  of  English  History.  The  accumulation  has  now

stituted until  1884.  Merton  College  was  associated  with  Lincoln  in

factures, monuments,  coins,  and  inscriptions  of  classical  antiquity,  and 
on  Asiatic  and  Egyptian  antiquities,  or  on  some  of  those  subjects. 
He  also  has  the  charge  of  the  University  Collection  of  Casts,  and  of  the 
Arundel  and  Pom  fret  Marbles. 

The  emoluments  of  the  Professorship  consist  of  a  Fellowship  in 
Lincoln  College,  and  of  ,£300  a  year,  or  such  other  sum  as  shall 
represent  the  value  of  one  Fellowship  in  Merton  College. 

Professors. 

1P85  William  Mitchell  Ramsay,  M.A.,  Fellow  of  Exeter  ;  Fellow  of  Lincoln.

fessor of  Modern  History,  the  Corpus  Professor  of  Comparative  Philo- 
logy, the  principal  Librarian  of  the  British  Museum,  Bodley's  Librarian, 
and  a  member  of  Merton  College  appointed  by  the  College  at  each 
election  to  act  as  an  Elector  on  that  occasion. 

The  duties  of  the  Professor  are  to  lecture  and  give  instruction  in  the 
history  and  criticism  of  the  English  Language  and  Literature,  and  on 
the  works  of  approved  English  authors. 

The  emoluments  will  ultimately  consist  of  a  stipend  of  ,£700  a  year 
in  addition  to  a  FelloAvship  in  Merton  College.  At  present  the  Pro- 
fessor receives  a  fixed  sum  of  ,£'900  a  year. 

The  University  may  at  any  time  by  Statute  determine  that  this 
Professorship  shall  be  united  with  that  of  Anglo-Saxon,  or  be  capable 
of  being  held  with  it.

University  Readerships. 

A  Statute  made  by  the  University  Commissioners  of  1877  directed 
the  appointment  of  a  number  (to  be  ultimately  not  less  than  seven)  of 
University  Readers,  whose  duty  it  should  be  to  lecture  and  give

department  of  study. 

The  emoluments  of  these  Readers  are  provided  from  a  fund  called 
the  Common  University  Fund,  which  is  chiefly  formed  by  levying, 
under  the  authority  of  another  Statute  of  the  Commissioners,  a  per- 
centage on  the  annual  revenues  of  Colleges.  The  administration  of 
this  fund  is  committed  to  a  board,  designated  the  Delegates  of  the

INSTITUTIONS. 


Bodleian  Libkary. 

In  the  year  1480  the  room  over  the  Divinity  School,  -which  is  now 
the  central  limb  of  the  public  portion  of  the  Bodleian  Library,  and 
which  was  then  just  finished,  became  the  repository  of  the  books  which 
the  University  had  acquired  by  gift  from  various  benefactors,  especially 
from  Humphrey,  Duke  of  Gloucester,  who  also  contributed  liberal] y 
to  the  building.  But  before  the  end  of  the  reign  of  Edward  VI, 
partly  through  careless  management,  and  partly  through  extravagant 
zeal,  it  had  been  so  entirely  rifled  of  its  contents  that  not  one  volume 
remained  ;  and  in  1556  the  University,  hopeless  of  its  restoration,  sold 
the  benches  and  fittings,  and  left  the  walls  bare.  In  this  state  it  re- 
mained above  forty  years,  till  in  1598  Thomas  Bodley,  Esq.,  sometime 
Fellow  of  Merton  College,  resolved  to  restore  the  room  to  the  pur- 
pose for  which  it  wTas  built,  and  to  secure  it  by  an  endowment  in  land ; 
and  he  not  only  contributed  largely  in  money  and  books  himself,  but 
procured  also  similar  contributions  from  so  many  of  his  friends  and 
other  persons,  that  in  November,  1602,  the  Library  was  again  opened 
for  use  with  upwards  of  2000  volumes. 

Books  were  given  during  the  next  few  years  beyond  what  the  room 
could  hold,  and  in  1610  the  Founder,  who  had  now  been  knighted  by 
King  James  I,  proceeded  to  build  an  addition  to  it  towards  the  East 
with  a  Proscholium  to  the  Divinity  School  below,  but  he  died  in 
January,  1613,  before  this  enlargement  was  quite  finished.  By  his 
will  he  made  provision  for  adding  a  third  floor  round  the  intended 
Quadrangle  of  the  Schools,  which  at  first  was  to  have  had  two  floors 
only,  and  for  connecting  this  (now  the  Picture  Gallery)  with  his  Library, 
and  showed  that  he  contemplated  that  other  extension  towards  the  West, 
the  want  of  which  was  felt  in  less  than  twenty  years  after  his  death,  and 
which,  with  the  Convocation  House  below,  was  begun  in  1634  and 
finished  in  about  four  years. 

The  collection  has  been  continually  increasing,  by  donations,  some 
of  which  have  been  of  great  extent  and  value,  by  the  right  to  a  copy  of 
every  work  published  in  this  country,  a  right  to  which  Sir  Thomas 
Bodley  himself  gave  the  origin  in  a  grant  which  he  obtained  in  1610 
from  the  Stationers'  Company,  and  by  purchases  made  with  moneys 
arising  partly  from  the  estates  given  by  the  Founder,  partly  from  other 
benefactions,  and  partly  from  the  general  fund  of  the  University ;  so  that 
now  the  Library  comprises  more  than  400,000  volumes',  and  occupies

every  ro  m  in  the  Qnadrangle  of  the  building,  except  those  appropriated 
bo  the  University  Archives. 

The  Library  is  under  the  control  of  a  Board  of  Curators,  consisting 
of  the  Vice-Chancellor,  the  two  Proctors,  the  five  Regius  Professors  of 
Divinity,  Civil  Law,  Medicine,  Hebrew,  and  Greek,  and  five  members 
of  the  Congregation  of  the  University  elected  for  ten  years  by  that 
House. 

The  administration  of  the  Library  is  committed  to  the  care  of  a 
Librarian,  elected  by  the  Curators  and  approved  by  Convocation,  with 
an  annual  stipend  of  ,£1000.  He  is  assisted  by  two  Under-Librarians, 
whom  he  nominates  himself,  subject  to  the  approval  of  the  Curators 
and  of  Convocation,  and  who  receive  a  yearly  stipend  of  not  less  than 
,£300  or  more  than  <£400  each.  There  are  also  Assistants,  whom  the 
Librarian  appoints,  .subject  to  the  approval  of  the  Curators. 

The  Library  proper  is  open  between  9  a.m.  and  5  p.m.  from  April  to 
July,  between  9  a.m.  and  4  p.m.  in  February,  March,  August,  Septem- 
I  irr,  and  October,  and  between  9  a.m.  and  3  p.m.  in  November,  December, 
and  January.  But  it  is  closed  entirely  on  Sundays,  on  January  1  and

end  of  the  year.  And  when  there  is  a  Sermon  before  the  University, 
it  is  not  open  before  11  a.m. 

All  Graduate  members  of  the  University  have  the  right  to  use  the 
Library.  Other  persons  are  admitted  to  study  in  it  on  presenting  a 
satisfactory  recommendation. 

The  Picture  Gallery,  which  has  been  already  mentioned  as  appur- 
tenant to  the  Library,  contains  portraits  of  many  eminent  persons,  who 
have  been  Benefactors  or  Members  of  the  University,  models  of  many 
edifices  both  ancient  and  modern,  and  many  other  objects  of  interest. 
Each  portrait  has  its  name  attached. 

The  building  formerly  known  as  "the  Eadcliffe  Library"  is  now 
used  as  a  Beading  Boom  in  connexion  with  the  Bodleian  Library, 
under  the  name  of  "  Camera  Bodleiana,"  and  is  open  from  10  a.m. 
till  10  p.m.  on  all  days  except  Sundays,  the  four  days  next  before 
Easter,  the  three  days  ending  on  the  last  Saturday  in  September,  and 
on  Christmas  Day  and  three  adjoining  week-days.  It  contains  on  its 
own  shelves  and  tables  a  selection  of  the  newest  works,  and  is  available 
for  the  use  of  other  books,  whether  printed  or  manuscript.

Clarendon  Press. 

Although  the  first  book  printed  in  Oxford  bears  the  date  1468,  it 
was  not  till  January  1586  that  Delegates  "de  impressione  librorum" 
were  first  appointed  by  Convocation.  About  that  time  Joseph  Barnes, 
having  set  up  a  press  in  Oxford,  under  the  patronage  of  the  Chan- 
cellor, the  Earl  of  Leicester,  and  with  the  help  of  a  loan  of  ,£100  from 
the  University  Chest,  is  styled  "  Printer  to  the  University"  on  the  title- 
pages  of  his  books.  Others  after  him  were  likewise  so  styled,  but 
nothing  seems  to  have  been  done  for  establishing  a  University  Press 
on  a  firm  footing,  until  Archbishop  Laud,  in  1633,  procured  letters 
patent  from  King  Charles  I,  granting  a  very  large  licence  of  printing  to 
the  University,  his  chief  object  being  the  publication  of  MSS.  from 
the  Bodleian  Library,  to  which  he  himself  gave  more  than  thirteen 
hundred. 

The  work  was  carried  on  at  first  in  hired  premises ;  then  from  1669 
in  the  Sheldonian  Theatre,  the  Founder  of  that  building  having  ap- 
pointed it  for  this  use  as  well  as  for  great  assemblies  of  the  University, 
and  having  directed  that  the  surplus  of  the  fund  which  he  gave  for 
the  maintenance  of  the  fabric  should  be  "employed  for  the  best  advantage 
and  encouragement  of  the  Learned  Press  there  designed  and  already  set 
at  work1 ; "  next  from  1713  in  the  Clarendon  Building,  erected  expressly 
for  this  purpose,  and  so  called  in  memory  of  Lord  Clarendon,  sometime 
Chancellor  of  the  University,  and  author  of  the  History  of  the  Great 
Bebellion.  Finally,  in  1830,  when  the  Press  had  quite  outgrown  its 
earlier  limits,  it  was  removed  to  its  present  buildings,  which  were  begun 
in  1825  from  a  design  made  by  Mr.  Daniel  Robertson,  and  were  finished 
under  the  superintendence  of  Mr.  Blore. 

The  management  of  the  Printing  Office  is  committed  to  a  Delegacy 
consisting  of  the  Yiee-Chancellor  and  ten  other  members  of  Convoca- 
tion, who  are  nominated,  as  vacancies  occur,  by  the  Vice-Chancellor 
and  Proctors.  Five  of  the  ten  are  Perpetual  Delegates:  each  new 
nomination  is  made  for  the  term  of  seven  years. 

The  South  side  of  the  Press  is  appropriated,  as  was  the  East  side  of 
the  Clarendon  Building,  to  the  printing  of  Bibles  and  Prayer-books, 
and  the  North,  or  "  Learned"  side,  to  that  of  classical  or  scientific 
works,  University  documents,  &c.

the  benefit  of  printing  and  encouragement  of  learning."

Theatre. 

The  Theatre  was  erected  by  Gilbert  Sheldon,  Archbishop  of  Canter- 
bury and  Chancellor  of  the  University,  to  provide  a  room  for  large  and 
nblies  of  the  University,  and  a  place  for  tin.-  operations  of 
tin'  University  Press,  which  were  carried  on  in  it  until  their  removal 
to  the  Clarendon  edifice  in  1713.  The  Architect  was  Sir  Christopher 
Wren.  The  first  stone  was  laid  July  26,  1664,  and  the  building  was 
opened  with  ;i  solemn  ceremony  on  July  9,  1669.  The  cost,  it  is  said, 
was  £15,000  ;  and  the  munificent  Founder  gave  ,£2000  more  fur  the 
purchase  of  land,  the  rent  of  which  might  maintain  the  fabric  in  repair 
and  give  a  surplus  for  the  advantage  "  of  the  Learned  Press."  John 
Wills,  D.D.,  Warden  of  Wadham  College,  who  died  in  1806,  left 
£1000  to  keep  it  in  repair.  The  care  of  the  Theatre  and  of  its  funds 
is  committed  to  the  Vice-Chancellor  and  Proctors  and  three  mem- 
bers  of  Convocation  nominated  by  them  (subject  to  the  approval  of 
Convocation),  holding  office  for  six  years. 


ASHMOLEAN  MUSEUM. 

The  building  known  by  this  name  was  erected  at  the  charge  of  the 
University,  partly  for  the  reception  of  the  collection  of  natural  and 
artificial  curiosities  which  Elias  Ashmole,  Esq.,  gave  on  that  condi- 
tion, and  to  which  additions  have  since  been  made  by  many  donors, 
and  partly  for  the  promotion  of  the  study  of  Chemistry  and  all  Natural 
Science.  Over  the  north  door  (now  closed)  is  an  inscription,  now 
almost  illegible,  Museum  Ashmoleanum,  Scholia  Naturalis  Historian, 
Ojficina  Chymica.  It  was  begun  in  1679,  and  finished  in  1683,  and  was 
built  by  Mr.  "Wood,  a  "stonecutter  "  or  mason,  of  Oxford1.  Dr.  Plot, 
the  first  Keeper,  was  immediately  appointed  Professor  of  Chemistry  by 
the  Vice-Chancellor. 

The  Keeper  of  the  Museum  used  to  be  nominated  by  the  Visitors 
appointed  by  Ashmole's  will,  namely,  the  Vice-Chancellor,  the  Dean  of 
Christ  Church,  the  Principal  of  Brasenose,  the  Eegius  Professor  of 
Medicine,  and  the  two  Proctors  ;  and  Dr.  Eawlinson  endowed  the  office 
with  a  stipend  of  about  <£75  a-year  on  certain  stringent  conditions. 
These  original  regulations  were  superseded  by  others  made  in  1858 : 
and  these  again  were  abrogated  by  a  Statute  which  received  the 
sanction  of  the  Queen  in  Council,  1870.  By  this  Statute  the  Vice- 
Chancellor,  the  Camden  Professor  of  Ancient  History,  the  Eegius 
Professor  of  Modern  History,  and  two  other  Members  of  Convocation  to 
be  elected  for  five  years  by  the  Congregation  of  the  University,  were  • 
constituted  Visitors  of  the  Museum.     By  the  same  Statute  Mr.  John 

1  The  words  "T.  "Wood  Arch."  are  at  the  foot  of  an  engraving  of  the  east  end  of  the 
Museum  done  by  Burghers  in  1685  or  1686.  (Vice-Chancellor's  Accounts,  MS.  in  the 
Archives.)  There  is  no  authority  for  the  modern  assertion  that  Sir  Christopher  Wren, 
was  the  architect. 


CLARENDON  BUILDING.  89 

Henry  Parker,  Hon.  M.A.,  who  had  made  a  munificent  benefaction  in 
augmentation  of  the  Keeper's  salary,  was  nominated  to  succeed  to 
the  Keepership  on  the  first  vacancy  :  afterwards  the  Keeper  was  to  be 
nominated  by  the  Visitors,  subject  to  the  approval  of  Convocation. 

By  a  Statute  made  in  1884  the  Keeper  is  required  to  give  not  less 
than  six  lectures  in  the  course  of  the  year,  on  subjects  to  be  approved 
by  the  Visitors. 

The  second  object  for  which  the  building  was  provided  is  now  at- 
tained by  the  University  Museum,  and  the  zoological  part  of  the 
collection  has  been  removed  to  that  Institution.  The  MSS.  of  Anthony 
^Wood  and  others,  which  were  deposited  here,  have  been  transferred  to 
the  Bodleian  Library.  The  first  floor  is  now  a  Museum  of  Antiquities  ; 
the  upper  floor,  which  for  many  years  was  used  as  an  examination 
room,  was  on  the  removal  of  the  examinations  to  the  new  Schools  in 
1882  placed  by  decree  of  Convocation  at  the  disposal  of  the  Visitors 
of  the  Museum.     The  Museum  is  open  daily  from  2  till  4.

CL  ABEND  ON  BUILDING. 

It  has  been  stated  already  that  the  Clarendon  Building  was  erected 
for  a  Printing  House,  and  was  so  used  from  1713  until  the  removal  of 
the  University  Press  to  the  present  Office  in  1830.  It  was  begun 
February  22,  1712.  The  architect  and  builder  was  Mr.  Nicholas 
Hawksmoor ',  who  built  also  the  south  quadrangle  of  Queen's  College 
and  the  north  quadrangle  of  All  Souls  College.  The  name  of  the 
building  is  derived  from  the  Lord  Chancellor  Clarendon,  and  the  cost 
of  it  was  defrayed  partly  from  the  profits  of  the  sale  of  his  History  of 
the  Rebellion,  the  copyright  of  which  was  given  to  the  University. 

It  is  now  used  for  various  public  purposes  of  the  University,  con- 
taining the  "  Delegates'  Boom,"  in  which  the  meetings  of  Delegacies 
usually  take  place,  the  Begistrar's  Office,  the  offices  of  the  Curators  of 
the  University  Chest,  of  the    Delegates   of  Local   Examinations,  of 

1  On  the  3rd  of  October,  1715,  the  Delegates  of  the  Press  voted  a  gratuity  of  100/.  to 
Hawksmnor  "'  for  his  care  in  drawing  and  supervising  the  whole  worke  of  the  new 
Printing  House."

Radcliffe  Libeaey. 

The  munificent  founder  of  this  Library  was  the  celebrated  physician 
John  Badcliffe,  M.I>.,  first  of  University  College,  afterwards  Fellow  of 
Lincoln,  who  died  in  1714.  He  bequeathed  the  hulk  of  his  large  pro- 
perty to  Trust  es  to  be  applied  at  their  discretion  to  charitable  purposes  ; 
but  he  directed  them  in  the  first  instance  to  accumulate  ,£40,000,  and 
to  lay  out  that  sum  on  the  purchase  of  the  site  for  his  Library  and  on 
the  building,  and  he  appropriated  ,£100  a-year  for  the  maintenance  of 
the  fabric,  ,£100  a-year  for  the  purchase  of  books,  aud  ,£150  a-year  as  a 
stipend  for  the  Librarian.  James  Gibbs,  Esq.,  a  native  of  Aberdeen, 
was  the  architect.  The  foundation-stone  was  laid  June  16,  1737,  and 
the  building  was  completed  in  1747.  The  Library  was  opened  April 
13,  1749,  in  a  public  ceremony,  by  the  Trustees. 

Many  years  ago  the  Trustees  resolved  to  confine  their  purchases  to 
works  on  Medicine  and  Natural  History;  and  upon  the  completion  of 
the  University  Museum  they  permitted  the  books  concerning  Natural 
Science  to  be  removed  to  the  Library  of  that  Institution,  which  may 
now  be  regarded  as  "  Badcliffe's  Library,"  and  they  allowed  the  remain- 
ing volumes  and  the  building  itself  to  be  used  in  connection  with  the 
Bodleian  Library.  It  has  been  opened  as  a  Eeading  Room.  (See  ante, 
p.  123.) 

The  present  Trustees  are,  the  Marquis  of  Salisbury,  K.G.,  the  Earl 
of  Carnarvon,  the  Earl  of  Selborne,  the  Earl  of  Jersey,  Lord  Hals- 
bury,  and  the  Eight  Hons.  W.  E.  Gladstone  and  Arthur  W.  Peel. 

Badcliffe's  Librarian,  who  must  be  at  least  a  Master  of  Arts,  is  elected 
by  the  following  personages :  the  Archbishop  of  Canterbury,  the  Lord 
High  Chancellor  of  Great  Britain,  the  Chancellor  of  the  University, 
the  Bishops  of  London  and  Winchester,  the  two  principal  Secretaries 
of  State,  the  Lord  Chief  Justice  of  England,  and  the  Master  of  the  Eolls. 
He  has  charge  of  the  Library  at  the  Museum,

ments. The  foundation-stone  was  laid  June  27,  1772.  The  original 
architect  was  Mr.  A.  Keene.  The  building  was  altered  and  completed 
by  Mr.  James  Wyatt.  The  Observer  is  appointed  by  the  Radcliffe 
Trustees  :  he  appoints  his  own  Assistants. 

Astronomical  Observations  are  made  daily  when  the  weather  per- 
mits, and  are  regularly  recorded.  A  fair  copy  of  these  Registers  used 
to  be  deposited  in  the  Library  of  the  Royal  Society  in  London,  in 
the  Radcliffe  Library,  and  in  the  Observatory  itself;  but  from  the 
year  1840  they  have  been  printed,  by  order  of  the  Trustees,  under  the 
superintendence  of  the  Observer,  in  a  handsome  octavo  volume,  which 
is  continued  annually.

Taylor  Institution. 

Sir  Robert  Taylor,  an  Architect  of  eminence  in  the  last  century, 
bequeathed  the  residue  of  his  property,  a  very  considerable  sum,  to 
"  the  Chancellor  and  Scholars  of  the  University  of  Oxford  and  their 
"  successors,  for  the  purpose  of  applying  the  interest  and  produce  thereof 
"  in  purchase  of  freehold  land  within,  or  if  possible  to  be  made  within, 
"the  jurisdiction  of  the  said  University,  for  the  erecting  a  proper 
"  edifice  therein,  and  for  establishing  a  foundation,  for  the  teaching 
"  and  improving  the  European  languages  in  such  manner  as  should 
"  from  time  to  time  be  approved  by  the  said  Chancellor  and  Scholars 
"  in  Convocation  assembled."  He  died  in  1788,  but  his  bequest,  being 
subject  to  certain  contingencies,  did  not  take  effect  till  1835,  and  it 
was  not  until  1848  that  the  "proper  edifice"  which  was  to  be  erected 
could  be  made  fully  ready  for  use.  This  building,  of  which  C.  R. 
Cockerell,  Esq.,  D.C.L.,  was  the  architect,  comprises  a  spacious  Library, 
several  Lecture  Rooms,  and  apartments  for  the  residence  of  a  Librarian. 

The  Institution  is  under  the  direction  of  nine  Curators,  of  whom  the 
Vice-Chancellor,  the  Regius  Professor  of  Modern  History,  and  the 
Professor  of  Comparative  Philology,  are  ex  officio  three  ;  of  the  other

Dchester,  for  tlic  encouragement  of  the  study  of  the  Polish  and  other 
Slavonic  Languages,  Literature,  and  History.  By  a  Statute  passed  in 
1876,  they  arc  authorised  to  apply  the  interest  of  the  fund  to  one  or 
more  of  the  following  purposes,  at  their  discretion  and  in  such  manner 
and  at  such  times  as  they  may  judge  most  expedient:  (1)  The  delivery 
Lectures  on  subjects  connected  with  the  Slavonic  Languages  or 
Literature,  01  the  History  of  the  Slavonic  Nations:  (2)  The  bestowal

The  Curators  are  also  charged  with  the  custody  of  a  collection  of 
books  and  works  of  art  bequeathed  to  the  University  in  1834  by  the 
Eev.  Robert  Finch,  M.A.,  of  Balliol  College,  and  with  the  administra- 
tion of  a  fund  of  ,£'1300  left  by  him  for  the  maintenance  and  extensiun 
of  the  collection. 

The  Library  is  open  between  the  hours  of  eleven  and  five,  except 
during  one  month  from  Aug.  16  to  Sept.  14  ;  and  from  Christmas-Eve 
to  Jan.  2,  when  it  is  closed  entirely.  All  Members  of  the  University 
have  free  admission  to  it,  and  resident  Members  are  allowed  to  take 
books  out  of  the  Library,  subject  to  its  regulations.  Literary  persons 
not  members  of  the  University  are  also  admissible  by  special  permission. 
The  leading  Newspapers  and  Periodicals  of  France,  Germany,  and  Italy, 
are  taken  in  and  lie  upon  the  table.  The  Librarian  is  appointed  by 
the  Curators,  with  a  statutable  stipend  not  exceeding  ,£200  a-year.  The 
present  Librarian  is  Heixeich  Keebs,  Ph.  D.  of  the  University  of 
Freiburg  in  Baden,  Hon.  M.A. 

Uniyeesity  Galleeies. 

The  University  Galleries  form  the  Central  and  "Western  portions  of 
the  building  of  which  the  Taylor  Institution  is  the  Eastern,  and  were 
designed  by  the  same  Architect.  Francis  Eandolph,  D.D.,  Principal 
of  St.  Alban  Hall,  who  died  in  1796,  bequeathed  i?1000  towards  the 
erection  of  a  suitable  building  for  the  reception  of  the  Pomfret  Statues 
and  other  works  of  art ;  and  that  sum  together  with  accumulated  in- 
terest was  laid  out  upon  the  building,  the  remainder  of  the  cost  being 
defrayed  from  moneys  belonging  to  the  University.  The  Galleries  were 
opened  in  1845.  They  contain  specimens  of  ancient  and  modern 
Sculpture,  including  the  original  models  for  the  principal  w^orks  of 
the  eminent  English  artist,  Sir  Francis  Chantrey,  presented  by  his 
widow  :  a  large  number  of  original  drawings  of  M.  Angelo  and  Eaffaele, 
purchased  by  a  subscription,  towards  which  the  second  Earl  of  Eldon 
contributed  the  munificent  sum  of  ,£'4000 ;  and  there  is  one  large  and 
lofty  Gallery  for  Paintings.  Many  works  of  art  of  various  kinds  have 
been  given  to  the  University  since  the  Galleries  were  erected,  and  the 
Arundel  Marbles  were  removed  thither  from  the  Bodleian  Library  and 
the  Ashmolean  Museum  in  1888. 

A  studio  for  the  use  of  the  Slade  Professor  of  Fine  Art,  with  other 
rooms,  was  added  in  1886-7. 

The   Galleries  are  under  the   superintendence  of  seven  Curators,

namely,  Bodley's  Librarian,  so  long  as  any  works  of  art  belonging  to 
the  Library  remain  in  the  Galleries,  and  six  members  of  Convocation 
elected,  two  by  the  Hebdomadal  Council,  two  by  the  Congregation  of 
the  University,  and  two  by  the  Vice-Chancellor  and  Proctors,  each 
holding  office  for  six  years  and  re-eligible.  The  Galleries  are  in  the 
charge  of  a  resident  Keeper,  appointed  by  the  Curators,  with  a  stipend 
of  ,£100  a-year,  and  are  open  without  fee  from  12  to  4  daily,  except 
during  a  few  weeks  in  the  Long  Vacation  for  cleaning.  One  room  has 
been  assigned  for  the  use  of  the  Oxford  School  of  Art  in  connexion 
with  the  South  Kensington  Department  of  Science  and  Art. 

University  Museum. 

This  edifice,  intended  for  the  promotion  of  the  study  of  Natural 
Science,  was  erected  at  the  charge  of  the  University,  from  the  de- 
signs and  under  the  directions  of  Messrs.  Deane  and  Woodward  of 
Dublin.  The  first  stone  was  solemnly  laid  June  20,  1855,  by  the  Earl 
of  Derby,  Chancellor  of  the  University,  and  the  building  was  so  nearly 
finished  when  the  British  Association  for  the  Advancement  of  Science 
met  in  Oxford  at  the  end  of  June,  1860,  that  every  part  of  it  was  then 
used.  The  iron-work  was  supplied  by  Mr.  Skidmore  of  Coventry. 
The  decorative  Sculpture  both  without  and  within  is  due  to  the  liber- 
ality of  individual  donors :  in  particular  Her  Majesty  the  Queen  has 
been  pleased  to  present  five  of  the  statues  of  eminent  philosophers 
which  adorn  the  Area  ;  and  Woolner's  statue  of  the  late  Prince  Consort, 
which  faces  the  entrance,  was  placed  here  by  gentlemen  of  the  City  of 
Oxford,  who  subscribed  to  have  it  erected  as  a  memorial  of  the  Prince. 
The  Museum  contains  Lecture-rooms,  with  Work-rooms  and 
Laboratories  where  these  are  required,  for  the  Eegius  Professor  of 
Medicine,  and  the  Professors  of  Geometry,  Natural  Philosophy, 
Chemistry,  Mineralogy,  Geology,  Anatomy,  Physiology,  and  Zoology ; 
a  Dissecting-room  at  the  North-eastern  angle,  and  along  the  front 
upstairs  a  spacious  Library  and  Eeading  Room.  The  Chemical  De- 
partment, at  the  south-western  angle  of  the  building,  was  greatly 
enlarged  by  the  addition  in  1878-9  of  a  new  block  of  buildings, 
including,  besides  several  smaller  laboratories  for  the  use  of  more  ad- 
vanced workers,  one  large  laboratory  fitted  for  the  accommodation  of 
6ixty-four  students  of  qualitative  and  quantitative  analysis.  A  build- 
ing containing  laboratories  and  a  lecture-room  for  the  use  of  the 
Waynflete  Professor  of  Physiology  was  erected  in  the  north-eastern 
portion  of  the  grounds  in  1884-5.  Some  temporary  iron  buildings 
for  the  use  of  the  Lin  acre  Professor  of  Human  and  Comparative 
Anatomy  and  the  Lecturer  in  Human  Anatomy  were  added  in  1886. 

Various  Collections  illustrative  of  subjects  studied  in  the  Museum  have 
been  brought  together  within  its  walls,  and  a  large  part  of  them  is  open 
to  the  view  of  Students  in  the  Area  and  Corridors  ;  a  Pathological 
Series  in  the  Medical  department :  Models  and  Instruments  for  Experi- 
mental Physics  ;  Minerals,  including  some  of  singular  rarity  given  by 
the  late  Richard  Simmonds,  M.D.,  of  Christ  Church ;  Fossils,  com-

Mr.  Pengelly's  Devonian  Series  presented  in  1860  by  Miss  Burdett- 
Coutts;  the  Physiological  Series  moved  from  the  Anatomy  School  at 
Christ  Church  by  permission  of  the  Dean  and  Chapter,  who,  however, 
under  the  Will  of  the  Founder,  Mathew  Lee,  M.D., 
physician  to  King  George  II,  reserve  the  right  to  recall  the  loan; 
logical  specimens  transferred  from  the  Ashmolean  Museum  ;  a  large 
collection  of  Shells  presented  by  Lady  and  Miss  Harvey;  two  large 
collections  of  British  Shells,  one  given  by  Sir  Walter  C.  Trevelyan, 
Bart.,  M.A.,  of  University  College,  the  other  bequeathed  by  George 
Barlee,  Esq.,  of  Exmouth,  who  died  in  1861 ;  and  a  large  collection  of 
Invertebrate  Animals  given  by  the  Kev.  F.  W.  Hope,  the  Founder  of 
the  Professorship  of  Zoology.  And,  to  make  these  Collections  more 
useful  to  Students,  the  Trustees  under  Dr.  BadclifFe's  Will  have 
allowed  the  large  scientific  portion  of  his  Library  to  be  brought  here, 
and  maintain  it  themselves  in  the  Museum  under  the  charge  of  Bad- 
cliflfe's  Librarian,  reserving  however  the  right  to  reclaim  it  if  they 
think  fit. 

By  the  liberality  of  the  Clarendon  Trustees  an  additional  building 
was  added  to  the  Museum  in  1872,  containing  the  lecture-rooms  and 
laboratories  of  the  department  of  Experimental  Philosophy.  This 
building  contains  a  large  lecture-theatre,  a  large  room  for  the 
Physical  Cabinet,  laboratories  for  each  of  the  branches  of  weighing 
and  measuring  heat,  light,  electricity,  magnetism,  and  acoustics, 
together  with  smaller  rooms  for  the  preparation  of  special  experi- 
ments. It  is  placed  under  the  care  of  the  Professor  of  Experimental 
Philosophy.  A  residence  for  a  care-taker  was  added  by  the  University 
in  1888. 

In  1885-6  an  annex  was  added  at  the  north-east  end  of  the  Museum 
to  contain  the  extensive  and  valuable  anthropological  collection  pre- 
sented to  the  University  by  Major-General  Pitt-Kivers,  D.C.L. 

The  Museum  is  under  the  superintendence  of  a  Delegacy  con- 
sisting of  the  Vice-Chancellor,  the  two  Proctors,  and  six  other  persons 
chosen  by  the  Congregation  of  the  University.  None  of  the  Professors 
who  teach  in  the  Museum  can  be  Delegates,  but  all  of  them  are  sum- 
moned to  the  meetings  of  the  Delegacy  and  consulted  on  the  questions 
that  arise.  It  is  in  the  charge  of  a  Keeper,  who  is  appointed  by  the 
Delegates  subject  to  the  approval  of  Convocation,  and  who  has  an  official 
residence  adjoining  on  the  South-east,  and  receives  a  stipend  of 
^£80  a-year. 

The  Museum  is  open  to  Members  of  the  University  from  10  a.m. 
till  4  p.m.  Visitors  are  admitted,  without  fee,  after  2  p.m.  The 
Library  is  open  from  10  a.m.  till  4  p.m.  daily,  and  on  Mondays  and 
Thursdays  during  Term  from  7  p.m.  till  9  p.m.

University  Observatory. 

In  March,  1873,  the  University  resolved  to  have  a  large  Eefracting 
Telescope  of  the  highest  order  of  completeness  and  excellence  con- 
structed for  the  purpose  of  providing  more  ample  instruction  for  Uni- 
versity students  in  practical  astronomy,  and  for  original  research.  In 
the  autumn  of  the  same  year,  the  University  also  accepted  from  Warren 
De  La  Eue,  Hon.  D.C.L.  (afterwards  M.A.,  New  College),  a  large  Re- 
flecting TYlescope,  together  with  other  astronomical  apparatus,  specially 
adapted  for  celestial  photography,  and  other  branches  of  astronomical 
physics.  The  Observatory  now  contains  these  instruments,  together 
with  others  of  smaller  dimensions.  The  large  lecture-room  on  the  north 
side  of  the  Observatory  was  added  in  1877-8. 

The  Savilian  Professor  of  Astronomy  has  charge  of  the  Observatory, 
subject  to  the  superintendence  of  a  Board  of  Visitors,  which  consists  of 
the  Vice-Chancellor,  the  Proctors,  the  Astronomer  Eoyal,  the  Director 
of  the  Cambridge  University  Observatory,  the  Eadcliffe  Observer, 
together  with  four  other  persons  elected  by  the  Congregation  of  the 
University  for  ten  years.  Mr.  W.  E.  Plummer  and  Mr.  C.  A.  Jenkins, 
both  formerly  of  the  Eoyal  Observatory,  Greenwich,  are  Assistant 
Observers. 

The  New  Schools. 

The  building  in  the  High  Street  commonly  called  by  this  name 
was  erected  in  1876-1882,  from  the  designs  of  the  architect,  Thomas 
Graham  Jackson,  M.A.,  sometime  Fellow,  and  afterwards  Honorary 
Fellow,  of  Wadham,  at  a  cost  exceeding  ^£100,000.  The  builder  was 
Mr.  Albert  Estcourt,  of  Gloucester ;  most  of  the  carving  in  wood  and 
stone  was  executed  by  Messrs.  Farmer  and  Brindley,  of  London.  The 
building  was  first  used  for  the  public  University  Examinations  in  Easter 
Term,  1882. 

In  addition  to  the  lofty  and  spacious  entrance-hall,  forming  the 
principal  feature  of  the  front  towards  High  Street,  the  building  contains 
two  large  writing-rooms,  each  capable  of  accommodating  two  hundred 
candidates,  and  a  third  affording  space  for  one  hundred  and  twenty 
candidates  ;  eleven  smaller  rooms  suitable  for  viva  voce  examinations  ; 
private  rooms  for  the  use  of  Examiners  ;  offices  for  the  Clerk  of  the 
Schools  ;  lavatories  and  store-rooms  ;  a  porter's  residence  ;  and  an  ex- 
tensive range  of  rooms  in  the  basement. 

All  the  University  Examinations,  except  those  involving  laboratory 
practice,  are  held  here,  and  the  building  is  also  available  at  times  for 
Professors'  lectures. 

The  block  of  buildings  of  which  the  Examination  Schools  form  the 
principal  part  was  completed  in  1888  by  the  addition  at  the  north- 
east corner  of  a  building  containing  offices  for  the  Delegacy  of  Non- 
Collegiate  Students  and  rooms  for  the  use  of  the  Students  themselves, 
and  offices  for  the  Delegacy  of  the  Oxford  and  Cambridge  Schools 
Examination. 

Mr.  T.  G.  Jackson  was  the  architect,  and  Messrs  Parnell  and  Son  of 
Eugby  were  the  builders,  of  this  building.

The  Indian  Institute. 

This  building,  situate  al  the  oomer  of  Broad  Street  and  Holywell 
Street,  was  erected  in  1882-4  by  Messrs.  Symm  &  Co.,  of  Oxford, 
from  the  designs  of  the  architect,  Basil  Champneys,  B.A.,  Cambridge. 
The  memorial-stone  was  laid  on  May  2,  1883,  by  the  Prince  of 
Wales,  in  the  presence  of  the  Chancellor  of  the  University,  the  Secre- 
tin of  State  for  India,  and  many  other  distinguished  personages,  and 
the  building  was  opened  at  the  commencement  of  Michaelmas  Term, 
L886.    Sib  Monies  Monieb-Williams,  M. A.,  Hon.  D.C.L.,  Fellow 

of  Balliol  College  and  Boden  Professor  of  Sanskrit,  through  whose  ex-

Bampton  Lectures. 

In  pursuance  of  the  Will  of  the  Eev.  John  Bampton,  M.A.,  some- 
time of  Trinity  College,  Canon  of  Salisbury,  "  Eight  Divinity  Lecture 
"  Sermons  "  are  preached  on  as  many  Sunday  mornings  in  Term,  "  be- 
"  tween  the  commencement  of  the  last  month  in  Lent  Term  and  the 
"  end  of  the  third  week  in  Act  Term,  upon  either  of  the  following 
"  subjects  :  to  confirm  and  establish  the  Christian  Faith,  and  to  confute 
"  all  heretics  and  schismatics — upon  the  divine  authority  of  the  Holy 
"  Scriptures — upon  the  authority  of  the  writings  of  the  primitive  Fathers,

"  as  to  the  Faith  and  Practice  of  the  primitive  Church — upon  the  Di- 
vinity of  our  Lord  and  Saviour  Jesus  Christ — upon  the  Divinity  of 
"the  Holy  Ghost — upon  the  Articles  of  the  Christian  Faith,  as  com- 
"  prehended  in  the  Apostles'  and  Nicene  Creeds." 

The  Lecturer,  who  must  he  at  least  a  Master  of  Arts  of  Oxford  or 
Cambridge,  is  chosen  yearly  by  the  Heads  of  Colleges  on  the  fourth 
Tuesday  in  Easter  Term.     No  one  can  be  chosen  a  second  time. 

Thirty  copies  of  the  Sermons  are  to  be  always  printed  within  two 
months  after  they  are  preached,  and  one  copy  is  to  be  given  to  the 
Chancellor  of  the  University,  one  to  the  Head  of  every  College,  and 
one  to  the  Mayor  of  Oxford,  and  one  is  to  be  put  into  the  Bodleian 
Library  ;  and  the  Preacher  is  not  entitled  to  the  revenue  of  the  endow- 
ment before  they  are  printed. 

The  Founder  died  in  1751,  but  his  bequest  did  not  take  effect  until 
1779,  in  which  year  the  first  Lecturer  was  chosen.  The  estate  provided 
for  the  endowment  now  produces  ,£200  to  each  Lecturer.

UNIVEESITY  SCHOLARSHIPS. 


Ceaven  Scholarships  and  Fellowships. 

John,  Lord  Craven  of  Eyton,  by  his  Will  dated  May  28, 1647,  directed 
that  "out  of  the  yearly  rents  and  profits"  of  an  estate  purchased  by 
him  in  Sussex  ,£100  per  annum  should  "  be  raised  towards  the  main- 
tenance of  four  poor  Scholars,"  two  at  Oxford,  and  two  at  Cambridge, 
and  that  the  surplus  revenue  of  the  estate  should  "  be  employed  and 
bestowed  for  and  towards  the  redemption  of  English  Christian  cap- 
tives, prisoners  in  Algiers  or  in  any  other  places  under  the  dominion 
of  the  Turk."  He  died  a  few  months  afterwards,  his  Executor  declined 
to  act,  and  in  December,  1648,  his  elder  brother  William,  Lord  Craven 
of  Hampsted-Marshall,  (afterwards  created  Earl  of  Craven,)  having 
been  appointed  Administrator,  drew  up  certain  regulations  for  the 
election  of  the  Scholars,  which  were  approved  by  Convocation  in  Octo- 
ber, 1649.  Those  regulations,  agreeably  to  the  Founder's  desire,  allowed 
a  preference  in  all  cases  to  persons  of  his  "  kindred  or  name,"  but 
otherwise  the  Scholarships  were  to  be  awarded  after  an  examination  in 
classical  learning,  in  which  no  Graduate  could  be  a  Candidate,  nor  any 
Fellow  or  Scholar  of  a  College.  Each  Scholarship  was  tenable  for 
fourteen  years  from  matriculation,  or  until  the  Scholar  attained  to  some 
"  preferment  of  a  double  value."  The  electors  were  the  Vice-Chancellor, 
the  Begins  Professors,  and  the  Public  Orator. 

In  1664,  William,  Lord  Craven,  with  the  consent  of  both  Universities, 
transferred  the  estate,  subject  to  the  trusts  created  by  his  brother's  will, 
to  a  body  of  Trustees,  whose  successors  now  hold  it. 

In  March,  1819,  it  was  determined  by  the  Court  of  Chancery  that 
the  second  part  of  the  trust  had  come  to  an  end  from  want  of  objects, 
and  a  Decree  was  made  increasing  the  number  of  Scholars  from  four 
to  ten,  five  for  each  University,  and  assigning  to  each  Scholar  an 
annual  stipend  of  ,£50  for  seven  years  from  his  election.  Subsequently, 
the  rents  of  the  estate  having  improved,  the  stipends  were  increased 
to  ,£'75.  And  by  a  Decree  of  the  Court  of  Chancery,  together  with  a 
Statute  of  the  University  approved  by  the  Queen  in  Council  in  1858, 
the  Foundation  for  Oxford,  and  the  regulations  concerning  it,  the 
Scholarships  were  made  six  in  number,  tenable  for  three  years,  with 
stipends  of  ,£80  a-year  each,  two  Scholars  being  elected  every  year  in 
Act  Term. 

Under  a  scheme  sanctioned  by  the  High  Court  of  Justice  in  1886 
there  are  now  two  Fellowships  and  six  Scholarships. 

The  Fellowships  are  tenable  for  two  years,  with  an  annual  stipend 
of  ,£200  each.  Candidates  must  have  passed  the  Examinations 
required  for  the  degree  of  B.A.,  and  not  have  exceeded  twenty-eight

Terms  from  matriculation.  One  Fellow  is  elected  annually  in 
Michaelmas  Term  by  a  committee  of  five  persons  appointed  for  the 

purpose  K  the  Board  of  the  faculty  of  Arts  (Literoe  Humaniores). 
The  Committee  may  eled  cither  without  examination,  or  after  such 
examination  iu  Greek  and  Latin  literature,  history,  and  antiquities,  or 
in  some  parts  of  these  subjects,  as  they  shall  think  fit.  Every  Fellow 
is  required  bo  spend  at  least  eight  months  of  each  year  of  his  tenure 
of  the  Fellowship  iu  residence  abroad  for  the  purpose  of  study  at  some 
place  in-  places  approved  by  the  electing  Committee. 

The  Scholarships  are  tenable  for  two  years,  with  an  annual 
stipend  of  ,£'40  each.  Candidates  must  lie  members  of  the  University 
who  have  not  exceeded  sixteen  Terms  from  matriculation.  Three 
Scholars  are  elected  annually  in  Michaelmas  Term  after  an  exami- 
nation conducted  by  three  persons  nominated  by  the  Committee  above- 
mentioned.  The  examination  is  the  same  as  that  for  the  Ireland 
Scholarship,  and  the  person  elected  to  that  Scholarship,  if  he  has  not 
already  gained  a  Craven  Scholarship,  is  elected  at  the  same  time 
to  the  first  Craven  Scholarship.  No  person  can  be  elected  a  second 
time  to  a  Craven  Scholarship.

Eadcliffe's  Travelling  Fellowships. 

Dr.  Kadcliffe,  the  Founder  of  the  Library  which  bears  his  name, 
bequeathed  to  University  College  an  estate  in  Yorkshire  charged  with 
the  payment  of  ,£600  per  annum  to  "  two  persons,  to  be  chosen  out  of 
"  the  University  of  Oxford,  when  they  are  Masters  of  Arts  and  entered 
"on  the  Physic  line,  for  the  maintenance  of  the  said  two  persons  for 
"  the  space  of  ten  years,  and  no  longer,  the  half  of  which  time  at  least 
"  they  are  to  travel  in  parts  beyond  sea  for  their  better  improvement ;" 
and  he  provided  them  with  chambers  in  that  College.  The  first  two 
Fellows  were  elected  in  July,  1715,  less  than  nine  months  after  the 
death  of  the  Founder. 

By  an  Ordinance  of  the  University  Commissioners  under  the  Act  of 
1854,  instead  of  two  Fellowships  with  stipends  of  ,£300  a-year  each  for 
ten  years,  there  are  now  three  Fellowships,  each  of  the  annual  value  of 
,£200,  and  tenable  for  three  years  only.  Candidates  need  not  be  Mas- 
ters of  Arts  or  entered  on  the  Physic  line,  but  they  must  have  passed 
all  the  Examinations  required  for  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Arts,  and 
must  either  have  been  placed  in  the  First  Class  in  one  at  least  of  the 
Public  Examinations  of  the  University,  or  have  obtained  some  Univer- 
sity Prize  or  Scholarship  open  to  general  competition.  Each  Candidate 
must  declare  that  he  intends  to  graduate  in  Medicine  in  the  University 
of  Oxford  with  the  view  of  engaging  in  the  practice  of  Medicine,  and 
to  travel  abroad  with  a  view  to  his  improvement  in  that  study  ;  and  no 
one  is  to  be  elected  who  is  legally  authorised  to  practise  as  a  Physician. 
But  in  case  no  person  willing  to  make  such  a  declaration  shall  offer 
himself  as  a  Candidate,  or  no  person  of  sufficient  merit  for  election,  the 
Fellowship  then  vacant  is  to  be  thrown  open  to  all  persons  who  have 
been  placed  in  the  First  Class  in  the  School  of  Natural  Science,  whether 
authorised  to  practise  or  not,  and  the  person  then  elected  is  not  to  be 
required  to  make  such  declaration. 


VINERIAN   SCHOLARSHIPS.  113 

Candidates  are  to  be  examined  in  such  subjects  connected  with 
Medical  Science,  and  by  such  official  persons  in  Oxford,  as  the  Electors 
shall  appoint. 

The  Electors  are  the  same  as  for  Radcliffe's  Librarian,  (see  ante, 
page  90). 

A  Fellow  forfeits  his  Fellowship  by  spending  more  than  eighteen 
months  within  the  United  Kingdom.

Vikeeian  Scholarships. 

These  have  their  endowment  from  the  same  Founder  as  the  Pro- 
fessorship of  English  Law.  Their  number,  and  the  amount  of  the 
stipends  assigned  to  them,  have  been  changed  from  time  to  time  by 
Convocation  according  to  the  state  of  the  Vinerian  fund,  which  now 
amounts  by  accumulations  to  nearly  ,£20,000.  For  many  years  before 
1854  there  were  two  Fellows  and  five  Scholar?,  each  elected  for  ten 
years,  and  receiving  stipends,  the  former  of  ,£50,  the  latter  of  £'S0> 
a-year.     By  a  Statute  made  in   1853  it  was  enacted  that  in  future

there  should  be  only  one  Fellow,  elected  at  first  f< >r  five  years,  Imt 
capable  of  being  continued  lor  rive  more,  with  an  annual  stipend  of 

,£100.  and  five  Scholars,  each  elected  for  five  years,  with  an  annual 
stipend  of  X'35. 

A  new  Statute,  approved  by  the  Queen  in  Council  in  1867,  suppressed 
the  Fellowship,  and  ordained  that  henceforth  there  should  be  three 
Scholars,  each  elected  for  three  years,  with  an  annual  stipend  of  £80. 
One  Scholar,  and  one  only,  is  to  be  elected  every  year  in  Lent  Term. 
Candidates  must  be  members  of  the  University  who  have  completed 
two  Fears  and  have  not  exceeded  six  years  from  their  matriculation. 

The  election  is  vested  in  a  board  consisting  of  the  Vice-Chancellor, 
all  the  Professors  of  Law,  and  the  Public  Examiners  in  the  School  of 
Jurisprudence;  who  are  to  appoint  for  each  election  three  examiners, 
including  one  at  least  of  themselves.  The  subjects  of  examination  are 
the  Civil  Law,  International  Law,  General  Jurisprudence,  and  especially 
the  Law  of  England  both  public  and  private. 

Each  Scholar  is  to  satisfy  the  Vice-Chancellor  every  year  that  he 
belongs  to  one  of  the  Inns  of  Court,  or  at  least  that  he  is  bona  fide 
studying  English  Law.

Dean  Ireland's  Scholarships. 

Four  Scholarships  "for  the  promotion  of  Classical  learning  and  taste 
were  founded  in  the  year  1825  by  John  Ireland,  D.D.,  of  Oriel  College, 
Dean  of  Westminster,  the  same  munificent  person  who  became  after- 
wards by  his  Will  the  Founder  of  the  Professorship  of  Exegesis.  He  gave 
for  their  endowment  ,£4000  in  £3  per  cent.  Consolidated  Annuities, 
now  represented  by  a  sum  of  £5813  8s.  del.  invested  on  mortgage. 

One  Scholar,  and  one  only,  is  elected  every  year  in  Michaelmas 
Term.  Candidates  must  be  Undergraduate  Members  of  the  University 
who  have  not  exceeded  the  sixteenth  Term  from  their  matriculation. 

Each  Scholarship  is  of  the  annual  value  of  £30,  and  is  tenable  for  four 
years,  provided  the  Scholar  keeps  by  residence  two  Terms  in  each  year. 

The  examination  is  the  same  as  that  for  the  Craven  Scholarships, 
and  the  person  elected  to  the  Ireland  Scholarship  is,  if  he  has  not 
already  gained  one  of  them,  elected  to  the  first  Craven  Scholarship.

Eldon  Law  Scholarship. 

In  the  year  1830  the  Subscribers  to  a  Testimonial  in  honour  of  John, 
first  Earl  of  Eldon,  Lord  High  Chancellor  of  Great  Britain  for  twenty- 
five  years  (1801— 1806  and  1807—1827),  resolved  to  establish  a  Law 
Scholarship  wTith  the  moneys  contributed,  for  the  purpose  of  "  recording 
"  Lord  Eldon's  connection  with  the  Profession  of  the  Law,  and  with  the 
"  University  of  which  he  was  so  distinguished  an  ornament,  and,  at  the 
"  same  time,  of  conferring  a  real  benefit,  as  well  as  a  distinction,  upon 
"  meritorious  individuals,  who  may  have  to  struggle  with  difficulties  in 
"  the  early  part  of  their  professional  career," 

The  management  of  the  fund,  including  the  election  of  the  Scholar, 
is  vested  in  fifteen  Trustees,  who  must  be  Subscribers,  or  descendants 
of  Subscribers,  and  Protestants. 

Candidates  must  be  "  Protestants  of  the  Church  of  England,  and 
"  Members  of  the  University  of  Oxford,  who,  having  passed  their  Exaniin- 

1  Owing  to  a  change  in  the  time  of  holding  the  examination,  two  elections  were 
made  in  1385,  one  in  Hilary  Term  and  the  other  in  Michaelmas  Term. 


BODEN   SCHOLARSHIPS.  117 

"  ation  for  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Arts,  have  been  rated  in  the  First 
"  Class  in  one  branch  at  least  at  examination,  or  have  gained  one  of  the 
"  the  Chancellor's  Prizes,  and  who  intend  to  follow  the  Profession  of  the 
"  Law."  In  Bye-Laws  passed  in  1830,  it  is  ordered  that  all  applications 
be  addressed  to  the  Secretary  to  the  Trustees,  and  that  no  application 
made  by  or  on  behalf  of  a  Candidate  to  any  individual  Trustee  be 
entertained. 

The  Scholarship  is  tenable  for  three  years,  running  from  June  4, 
Lord  Eldon's  birthday,  provided  the  Scholar  keep  his  Terms  regularly 
at  one  of  the  Inns  of  Court.  By  a  Bye-Law  passed  in  1854,  it  is  pro- 
vided that  if  the  Scholar  be  called  to  the  Bar,  or  commence  practice 
under  the  Bar,  he  shall  vacate  his  Scholarship. 

Should  the  fund  increase  sufficiently  by  accumulations  or  otherwise, 
a  second  Scholarship  is  to  be  established  on  similar  conditions.

BODEN   SCHOLAKSHIPS. 

Four  Scholarships  "for  proficiency  in  the  Sanskrit  Language  and 
Literature"  were  established  by  Decrees  of  the  Court  of  Chancery  in 
1830  and  1860,  in  order  to  carry  into  effect  the  purpose  of  the  late 
Colonel  Boden,  stated  in  the  article  on  the  Boden  Professorship  of 
Sanskrit. 


118  (MVERSITV   SCHOLARSHIPS. 

One  Scholar  Is  elected  every  year  in  Hilary  Term.  Candidates  must 
be  Members  <>f  some  College  or  Hall,  who  have  not  exceeded  the 
twenty-fifth  year  of  their  age. 

Each  Scholarship  is  tenable  for  four  years  with  an  annual  stipend  of 
£50,  payable  half-yearly,  provided  the  Scholar  retains  his  name  on 
the  hooks  of  some  College  or  Hall,  keeps  by  statutable  residenee  three 
Terms  in  each  year,  attends  Lectures  of  the  Professor,  and  makes 
sufficient  proficiency  in  Sanskrit.  Default  in  these  conditions  entails 
forfeiture  of  the  Scholarship,  or  at  least  of  some  portion  of  the 
stipend. 

The  Electors  are  the  Boden  Professor  of  Sanskrit,  the  Regius 
Professors  of  Divinity,  Hebrew,  and  Greek,  the  Laudian  and  Lord 
Almoner's  Professors  of  Arabic,  and  the  Professor  of  Latin,  or  any 
three  of  them  ;  but  they  may  appoint  a  deputy  or  deputies  to  act  in 
their  stead. 

At  first,  until  the  expiration  of  an  annuity  of  ,£100  given  by  the 
Founder's  Will,  there  were  but  two  Scholars.

Mathematical  Scholakships. 

Scholarships  "for  the  promotion  of  Mathematical  studies"  were 
founded  in  the  year  1831,  a  fund  for  their  endowment  having  been 
raised  by  contributions  from  many  of  the  Colleges  and  many  individual 
Members  of  the  University. 

At  first  there  were  three,  each  tenable  for  three  years,  with  an  annual 
stipend  of  ,£50. 

In  1844  a  change  was  made,  and  a  further  change  in  1864 ;  and 
there  were  then  four  Scholarships,  two  Senior,  and  two  Junior,  with 
stipends  of  £30  a-year  each. 

The  regulations  were  revised  in  1885,  and  are  now  as  follows : — 

There  are  four  Scholarships,  two  Senior  and  two  Junior,  and  one 
Exhibition.  The  value  of  a  Senior  Scholarship  is  £30  for  the  first 
and  £50  for  the  second  year  of  its  tenure.  A  Junior  Scholarship  is 
of  the  annual  value  of  £,'60  for  two  years,  and  the  Exhibition  is  of  the 
annual  value  of  <£20  for  one  year. 

One  Scholar,  and  one  only,  in  each  of  the  two  classes  is  elected  every 
year  in  the  first  week  of  full  Hilary  Term.  Candidates  for  the  Senior 
Scholarship  must  have  passed  all  Examinations  required  for  the  degree 
of  B.A.,  and  must  not  have  exceeded  the  twenty-sixth  Term 
inclusively  from  their  matriculation1.  Candidates  for  the  Junior 
Scholarship  and  for  the  Exhibition  must  be  Members  of  the  Uni- 
versity who  have  not  exceeded  seven  Terms  from  their  matriculation 
inclusively. 

The  standing  of  Candidates  who  have  matriculated  at  Cambridge  or 
Dublin  before  matriculating  at  Oxford  is  computed  from  the  date  of 
such  first  matriculation,  Easter  Term  at  Cambridge  or  Dublin  being 
reckoned  as  equivalent  to  Easter  and  Trinity  Terms  at  Oxford. 

Each  Scholarship  is  tenable  for  two  years,  provided  the  Scholar  has 

1  For  Candidates  matriculated  in  or  before  Michaelmas  Term,  1885,  the  limit  of 
standing  is  the  twenty-seventh  Term  from  matriculation.

his  name  on  the  books  of  some  College  or  Hall  or  of  the  Delegates  of 
Non-Oollegiate  Students,  and.  in  the  case  of  a  Junior  Scholar,  that 
he  continues  to  attend  to  Mathematical  studies.  The  Senior  Scholar 
dieted  each  year  receives,  for  one  year  only,  over  and  above  his  proper 
Btipend,  the  dividends  of  that  moiety  of  Dr.  Johnson's  fund  which  was 
formerly  assigned  to  his  Mathematical  Scholar,  and  is  called  the 
•. Johnson  University  Scholar."  These  dividends  amount  to  about 
,£'20  a-year.  The  Exhibition  is  tenable  under  the  same  conditions  as 
the  Junior  Scholarship,  and  is  awarded  to  the  Candidate  for  that 
Scholarship  second  in  order  of  merit,  if  thought  deserving  by  the 
Examiners. 

The  Examiners,  three  in  number,  who  must  be  at  least  Masters  of 
Arts  or  Bachelors  of  Medicine  or  Civil  Law,  are  appointed  by  the 
Trustees  of  the  Foundation,  namely,  the  Vice-Chancellor,  the  Proctors, 
and  the  Professors  of  Geometry,  Astronomy,  Natural  Philosophy,  and 
Experimental  Philosophy.

Kennicott  Scholarships. 

Two  Scholarships  for  the  promotion  of  the  study  of  Hebrew  were 
founded  by  the  Will  of  Anne  Kennicott,  widow  of  the  celebrated  He- 
braist, Benjamin  Kennicott,  D.D.,  Canon  of  Christ  Church.  The 
Foundress  died  in  1830,  and  the  property  which  she  bequeathed  for 
the  endowment  produced  in  1831  the  sum  of  ,£4800  in  £3  per  cent. 
Consolidated  Annnities.  Owing  to  a  change  of  investment  the  fund 
now  yields  an  income  of  about  £200  a  year.  Regulations  wTere  made 
by  Convocation  in  1831,  according  to  which  only  one  Scholar  was  to 
be  elected  in  a  year,  and  each  Scholarship  was  tenable  for  four  years 
under  certain  conditions  of  residence  and  exercises. 

A  Statute  which  the  University  was  specially  empowered  to  make  in 
18')3  reduced  the  Scholarships  to  one,  tenable  for  one  year  only, 

The  regulations  Avere  revised  in  1885,  and  there  are  now  two  Scholar- 
ships, a  Senior  and  a  Junior. 

The  Senior  Scholarship  is  awarded  in  Michaelmas  Term  of  every 
alternate  year,  and  is  tenable  for  two  years,  the  emoluments  consisting 
of  a  single  payment  of  £120,  made  when  the  Scholarship  is  awarded. 
It  is  open  to  all  members  of  the  University  who  have  passed  the 
Examinations  for  the  degree  of  B.A.,  and  who  on  the  first  day  of  the 


KENNICOTT   SCHOLARSHIPS.  123 

Term  in  which  it  is  awarded  have  not  exceeded  twelve  years  from 
matriculation.  It  is  awarded  to  the  Candidate  who  on  or  before  the 
first  day  of  that  Term  "shall  have  sent  in  that  which  in  the  judgment 
of  the  Electors  is  the  best  dissertation  on  a  subject  connected  with  the 
Hebrew  language  or  literature,"  selected  by  the  Candidate  himself, 
subject  to  the  written  approval  of  the  Eegius  Professor  of  Hebrew. 
The  electors  are  not  bound  to  award  the  Scholarship  for  a  dissertation 
which  in  their  judgment  is  not  of  sufficient  merit,  and  they  have 
power  to  examine  a  Candidate  in  the  subjects  of  his  dissertation,  and 
in  questions  arising  immediately  out  of  it.  No  residence  is  required 
in  the  case  of  a  Senior  Scholar. 

The  Junior  Scholarship  is  of  the  annual  value  of  ,£120,  and  is 
awarded  every  year  in  Michaelmas  Term  after  an  examination  in  the 
Hebrew  language  and  literature.  Opportunity  is  given  to  Candidates 
for  showing  their  acquaintance  with  the  cognate  Semitic  languages. 
Candidates  must  not  on  the  first  day  of  the  Term  in  which  the  Scholar- 
ship is  awarded  have  exceeded  thirty  Terms  from  matriculation.  The 
Scholarship  is  tenable  for  one  year,  during  which  the  Scholar  is  to  reside 
for  seven  entire  weeks  in  Michaelmas  and  Lent  Terms  severally,  and 
seven  weeks  in  the  interval  between  the  commencement  of  Easter  Term 
and  the  twenty-first  day  of  Act  Term,  but  such  residence  may  be 
dispensed  with  by  the  Board  of  Management  of  the  Pusey  and  Ellerton 
Scholarships  under  certain  conditions  as  to  the  pursuit  of  study  or  the 
undertaking  of  work  elsewhere. 

The  Electors  to  both  Scholarships  are  the  Eegius  Professor  of  Hebrew 
and  two  other  Members  of  the  Universities  of  Oxford,  Cambridge,  or 
Dublin,  not  under  the  degree  of  Master  of  Arts,  nominated  by  the  above- 
mentioned  Board  of  Management,  and  approved  by  Convocation.

PUSEY  AND  ELLEETON  SCHOLAESHIPS. 

Three  Scholarships  for  "  the  promotion  of  sound  Theology  through 
a  solid  and  critical  knowledge  of  Hebrew"  were  founded  in  the  year 
1832  by  Philip  Pusey,  Esq.,  of  Pusey  in  Berkshire  ;  Edward  Bouverie 
Pusey,  D.D.,  Begius  Professor  of  Hebrew ;  and  Edward  Ellerton,  D.D.,

One  Scholar,  and  one  only,  is  elected  every  year  in  Michaelmas  Term. 
Candidates  must  be  Members  of  the  University  under  the  degree  of

Johnson's  Scholakships. 

Two  Scholarships,  "one  for  the  greatest  attainment  in  Theology,  and 
the  other  in  Mathematics,"  were  founded  by  John  Johnson,  D.D.,  some- 
time Fellow  of  Magdalen  College,  who  bequeathed  to  the  University 
the  sum  of  ,£1200  for  their  endowment,  directing  that  the  money 
should  be  invested  in  £3  per  cent.  Consolidated  Annuities,  and  that 
the  dividends  thereof  should  be  applied  "  in  the  purchase  of  books  on 
Theology  and  Classical  Literature,"  and  no  part  given  in  money. 
The  bequest  was  accepted  by  Convocation  in  February  1833.  Each 
Scholarship  was  made  tenable  for  two  years.  Candidates  were  required 
to  have  passed  the  Examinations  for  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Arts,  and 
not  to  have  completed  the  fifth  year  from  their  matriculation.  But, 
by  Statutes  which  the  University  was  specially  empowered  to  make  in 
1863,  one  moiety  of  the  endowment  was  united  with  Mrs.  Denyer's 
fund  to  maintain  the  Theological  Scholarships  described  in  the  next 
article,  and  the  proceeds  of  the  other  moiety  are  given  annually  in 
money  to  the  Senior  Mathematical  Scholar  of  the  year,  who  is  called 
the  "  Johnson  University  Scholar." 

The  Examination  took  place  in  Easter  Term.  The  Examiners, 
three  in  number,  who  were  obliged  to  be  at  least  Masters  of  Arts 
or  Bachelors  of  Civil  Law,  were  appointed  by  the  Presidents  of  Mag- 
dalen and  Trinity  Colleges,  the  Dean  of  Christ  Church,  the  Warden 
of  New  College,  and  the  Provost  of  Queen's  College.

Denyee,  and  Johnson  Scholab ships. 

In  the  year  1863,  by  a  Statute  which  the  University  was  specially 
empowered  to  make,  three  Scholarships  for  the  promotion  of  the  study 
of  Theology  were  established  in  lieu  of  Dr.  Johnson's  Theological 
Scholarship  described  in  the  last  article  and  of  Mrs.  Denyer's  Prizes 
for  two  Theological  Essays  described  at  page  L51,  and  the  joint  revenue 
of  those  two  foundations,  amounting  now  to  about  ,£'120,  was  appointed 
for  their  endowment.  By  a  Statute  passed  in  1878,  amending  the  be- 
fore-mentioned Statute,  the  Scholarships  were  reduced  to  two,  of  the 
yearly  value  of  ,£50  each.  The  Scholars  are  elected  in  the  following 
way. 

Any  Bachelor  of  Arts,  who  has  not  exceeded  twenty-seven  Terms  from 
his  matriculation,  may  present  himself  for  this  Examination,  which 
is  holden  every  year  in  Hilary  Term.  The  standing  of  Candidates 
who  have  matriculated  at  Cambridge  or  Dublin  before  matriculating 
at  Oxford  is  computed  from  the  date  of  matriculation  at  Cambridge  or 
Dublin  as  the  case  may  be,  Easter  Term  in  either  of  those  Universities 
being  reckoned  as  equivalent  to  Easter  and  Trinity  Terms  at  Oxford. 
The  Examiners,  three  in  number,  are  nominated  by  the  Electors  of 
the  Examiners  in  the  Honour  School  of  Theology,  and  must  be  Mem- 
bers of  Convocation  in  Priest's  Orders. 

The  subjects  of  the  Examination  are  fixed  each  year  by  the  Board 
of  the  Faculty  of  Theology. 

The  Scholarships  are  tenable  for  one  year  only.

Tatloe  Scholarships. 

In  furtherance  of  the  object  of  Sir  Kobert  Taylor,  as  stated  in  the 
Article  on  the  "  Taylor  Institution,"  four  Scholarships  for  proficiency 
in  Modern  Languages  were  established  in  the  year  1857.  They  were 
tenable  for  two  years.  Two  Scholars  were  elected  every  year,  one  for 
proficiency  in  German  and  in  some  other  language  taught  in  the  Insti- 
tution, the  other  for  proficiency  in  French  and  in  some  other  language 
taught  there.  Each  received  ,£25  a-year  from  the  Taylor  Fund. 
Candidates  were  not  to  have  exceeded  the  age  of  twenty-four  years  at 
the  time  of  the  election.  Under  a  new  Statute  made  in  1869,  one 
Scholarship  worth  ,£50  and  one  Exhibition  worth  £25,  each  tenable 
for  one  year,  are  awarded  annually  for  proficiency  in  one  or  more  of 
the  languages  taught  in  the  Institution  (a  year's  notice  thereof  having- 
been  given),  in  Comparative  Philology  as  applied  to  the  same,  and  in 
the  literature  of  the  selected  language  or  languages. 

1  Owing  to  a  change  in  the  time  of  holding  the  examination,  two  elections  were 
made  in  1885,  one  in  Hilary  Term  and  the  other  in  Michaelmas  Term.

called  the  Davis  Scholarship,  for  proficiency  in  the  Chinese  language 
and  literature,  with  an  annual  stipend  of  ,£50,  payable  terminally, 
open  to  all  members  of  the  University  who  on  the  clay  of  election 
should  not  have  exceeded  the  twenty-eighth  Term  from  their  matricu- 
lation. 

The  Scholar  is  elected  by  the  Yice-C'hancellor,  the  President  of 
Corpus  Christi  College  (or,  if  the  President  be  Vice-Chancellor,  the 
Senior  Pro-Vice-Chancellor),  and  the  Professor  of  Chinese,  after  an 
examination  held  by  such  persons  as  they  may  appoint  for  that  purpose, 
the  Professor  himself  being  always  one  of  the  Examiners. 

The  Scholarship  is  tenable  for  two  calendar  years  from  the  day  of 
election,  provided  the  Scholar  keep  a  statutable  residence  of  not  less 
than  seven  weeks  in  each  Term,  Easter  and  Trinity  Terms  being 
reckoned  as  one,  and  pursue  his  studies  in  Chinese  under  the  advice 
and  supervision  of  the  Professor. 

If  at  the  time  of  holding  an  election  the  Electors  do  not  think  any 
of  the  candidates  worthy  of  the  Scholarship,  they  have  power  to  post- 
pone the  election  for  any  period  not  exceeding  two  years,  and,  in  such 
an  event,  to  grant  the  annual  stipend  of  ,£'50,  or  any  less  sum,  under 
the  name  of  an  Exhibition,  to  any  person  who  shall  be  certified  to 
them  as  desirous  of  pursuing  the  study  of  Chinese.  The  Exhibition  is 
tenable  during  the  period  for  which  the  election  to  the  Scholarship 
shall  have  been  postponed,  and  under  the  same  conditions  of  residence 
and  study  as  are  applicable  to  the  Scholarship.

UNIVERSITY    PRIZES. 


The  Subjects  for  all  Prize  Compositions  are  given  out  by  the  Vice- 
(  haneellor,  generally  about  Midsummer  in  each  year  ;  and  at  the  same 
time  the  several  days  arc  stated  by  which  the  respective  Compositions 
are  to  be  sent  in  to  the  Registrar.  Each  writer  is  required  to  send  in 
his  Composition  under  a  scaled  cover,  and  to  conceal  his  name,  distin- 
guishing his  Composition  by  what  motto  he  pleases,  and  sending  at  the 
same  time  his  name  under  another  sealed  cover  with  the  same  motto 
written  on  the  outside. 

Such  portions  of  the  successful  Compositions  for  the  Chancellor's,  the 
Newdigate,  the  Stanhope,  and  the  two  Gaisford  Prizes,  as  the  Public 
Orator  and  the  Professor  of  Poetry  appoint,  are  read  each  year  in  the 
Theatre  at  the  Commemoration  of  Founders  and  Benefactors. 

xVll  unsuccessful  Compositions  are  left  with  the  Registrar,  and  may 
be  received  from  him  at  his  office  within  the  space  of  one  year. 


The  Chancellor's  Prizes. 

LATIN   VERSE.      ENGLISH  ESSAY.     LATIN  ESSAY. 

The  Earl  of  Lichfield,  who  was  Chancellor  of  the  University  during 
1762-1772,  began  the  practice,  since  followed  by  his  successors,  of 
giving  two  annual  Prizes  of  ,£20  each  for  Composition  in  Latin  Verse 
and  in  English  Prose ;  and  Lord  Grenville,  after  his  election  to  the 
same  office  in  1809,  added  a  third  Prize  of  the  same  value  for  Com- 
position in  Latin  Prose,  which  has  likewise  been  continued  by  the 
munificence  of  succeeding  Chancellors. 

The  Prize  for  Latin  Verse  is  confined  to  ftiose  members  of  the 
University  who  have  not  exceeded  four  years  from  their  matriculation  ; 
the  other  two  Prizes  to  those  who  have  exceeded  four  years  but  have 
not  completed  seven. 

The  Judges  by  whom  all  these  Prizes  were  awarded  were  originally 
the  Vice-Chancellor,  the  two  Proctors,  the  Public  Orator,  and  the 
Professor  of  Poetry.  The  Judges  of  Latin  Verse  and  Latin  Essays  are 
now  the  Public  Orator,  the  Professor  of  Latin,  and  three  members  of 
Convocation  appointed  by  the  Vice-Chancellor  and  the  Proctors.  The 
Judges  of  English  Essays  are  the  Public  Orator,  the  Professor  of 
Poetry,  and  three  Members  of  Convocation  appointed  by  the  Vice- 
Chancellor  and  the  Proctors.

English  Verse. 

SIR  ROGER   NKWDIGATE's   PRIZE. 

Prizes  for  Compositions  in  English  Verse  were  occasionally  given 
many  years  ago  by  benefactors  whose  names  were  not  proclaimed  at 
the  time  ami  are  not  known  now.  Among  others,  Sir  Roger  Newdigate, 
Baronet,  of  Arburv  in  Warwickshire,  D.C.L.,  of  University  College, 
sometime  Burgess  for  the  University,  who  died  at  a  very  advanced  age 
in  1806,  gave  in  the  last  year  of  his  life  a  Prize  for  "a  copy  of  English 
"  Verse  of  fifty  lines  and  no  more  in  recommendation  of  the  study  of  the 
"ancient  Greek  and  Roman  remains  of  Architecture,  Sculpture,  and 
'•Painting;"  and  by  his  Will  he  bequeathed  the  sum  of  ,£'1000,  (by 
which,  when  invested  with  accumulations,  the  sum  of  about  ,£1550  in 
£'S  per  cent.  Consolidated  Aunuities  was  purchased,)  directing  that 
<£21  out  of  the  dividends  should  be  paid  annually  as  a  Prize  for  a  similar 
poem,  and  that  the  surplus  should  help  to  form  a  fund  for  the  improve- 
ment of  the  Master's  Lodgings  at  University  College.  After  the  very 
inconvenient  restrictions  imposed  by  the  Founder  had  been  endured  for 
seventeen  years,  1810-1826,  they  were  removed  with  the  consent  of  his 
heir  and  representative  ;  and  from  that  time  there  has  been  no  precise 
limitation  either  of  the  length  of  the  Poems  or  of  the  range  of  the 
Subjects. 

The  Prize,  like  the  Chancellor's  Prize  for  Latin  Verse,  is  confined  to 
those  members  of  the  University  who  have  not  exceeded  four  years  from 
their  matriculation. 

The  Judges  are  the  Public  Orator,  the  Professor  of  Poetry,  and  three 
Members  of  Convocation  appointed  by  the  Vice-Chancellor  and  the 
Proctors.

Denyer  Theological  Essays. 

Mrs.  Elizabeth  Dennis  Denyer,  of  Chelsea,  widow,  who  died  in  1824, 
bequeathed  to  the  University  the  sum  of  ,£2000  in  £3  per  cent.  Con- 
solidated Annuities  in  order  to  found  two  annual  Prizes  of  £30  eacli 
for  Sermons  to  be  preached  upon  certain  subjects,  which  were  stated 
in  her  Will  and  arranged  for  a  cycle  of  five  years.  But,  as  some  of  the 
conditions  were  inconsistent  with  the  Statutes,  the  University  declined 
to  accept  the  legacy ;  which  then  escheated  to  the  Crown.  Upon  this  a 
memorial  was  presented  on  the  part  of  the  University ;  and  on  Feb.  5, 
1835,  King  Wilham  IV,  by  Eoyal  WTarrant  under  his  Sign  Manual, 
granted  the  bequeathed  stock,  together  with  accumulations  of  interest, 
to  the  University,  directing  that  the  dividends  should  l.e  annually 
paid  in  equal  moieties  as  Prizes  for  two  Theological  Essays  on  subjects 
named  in  Mrs.  Denyer's  Will. 

The  Prizes  were  confined  to  Members  of  the  University,  in  Deacon's 
Orders  at  least,  who  on  the  day  appointed  for  sending  in  the  Essays 
had  entered  on  the  eighth  and  not  exceeded  the  tenth  year  from  their 
matriculation.  The  successful  Essays  were  read  in  the  Divinity  School 
on  some  day  in  full  Term  appointed  by  the  Vice-Chancellor.  But,  by 
a  Statute  which  the  University  was  specially  empowered  to  make  in 
1863,  the  Essays  were  discontinued,  and  the  endowment,  then  amounting 
to  £3000  stock,  was  assigned  for  the  maintenance  of  the  "  Denyer 
and  Johnson  Scholarships"  described  at  page  127. 

The  Judges,  who  both  selected  the  Subjects  and  awarded  the 
Prizes,  were  the  Vice-Chancellor,  the  two  Proctors,  and  the  Kegius 
and  Margaret  Professors  of  Divinity.

CLASS  LISTS. 

The  names  of  those  Members  of  the  University  who  have  been 
awarded  "  Honours "  in  their  Examinations  will  be  found  in  the 
Alphabetical  Eegister  at  the  end  of  the  volume 1.  Down  to  the  end 
of  the  eighteenth  century  the  Examination  for  the  degree  of  Bachelor 
of  Arts  was  little  better  than  a  mockery,  and,  if  a  Candidate  showed 
any  superior  attainments,  there  was  no  mark  of  honourable  distinction 
that  could  be  given  to  him.  The  commencement  of  the  present 
system  is  to  be  found  in  the  Statute  of  1800,  which  gave  an  option 
to  each  Candidate  to  offer  himself  for  the  ordinary  Examination 
which  was  held  in  every  Term,  or  for  a  more  strict  Examination  in 
Easter  Term,  at  wThich  Honours  were  awarded  according  to  the  merits 
of  the  Candidates.  At  this  Examination,  those  who  most  eminently 
distinguished  themselves  were  to  be  classed  as  Candidates  "  qui  se 
Examinatoribus  Publicis  maxime  commendaverunt."  Of  these  there 
could  be  no  more  than  twelve ;  and,  if  more  than  that  number 
appeared  to  the  Examiners  worthy  of  distinction,  they  were  to  be 
described  as  Candidates  "qui  se  Examinatoribus  Publicis  EGREG1E 
commendaverunt."  The  names  in  each  division  were  arranged  in 
order  of  merit,  and  were  published.  The  Candidates  were  examined 
in  Mathematics  as  well  as  in  Classics,  and  the  Honours  were  awarded 
for  attainments  in  both  conjointly. 

In  1807  two  stated  times  for  the  Examination  were  appointed,  one 
in  Michaelmas,  the  other  in  Easter  Term  ;  and  it  was  enacted,  that  all 
Candidates,  whether  for  Honours  or  not,  should  be  examined  in  one 
course  in  one  or  other  of  those  Terms ;  that  all  who  passed  the  Ex- 
amination in  either  Term  should  be  arranged  in  three  Classes,  in  the 
first  two  of  which  should  be  placed,  alphabetically  in  each,  the  names 
of  those  who  passed  with  more  or  less  distinction,  the  third  Class  com- 
prising all  the  rest ;  that  this  Class  List  should  be  twofold,  having  one 
side  for  Literal  Humaniores  or  Classics,  the  other  for  Discipline  Mathe- 
matical et  Physical  or  Mathematics  ;  and  that  the  names  in  the  first  two 
Classes  should  be  published. 

In  1809  the  Second  Class  was  divided  into  two  by  a  line,  the  names 
above  and  below  that  line  being  placed  in  alphabetical  order  severally ; 
60  that,  though  nominally  but  two,  there  were  really  three  Classes  of 
honorary  distinction. 

In  1825  the  name  of  "Third  Class"  was  given  to  that  which  had

been  the  lower  half  of  the  Second  class,  that  which  had  been  the  Third 
was  entitled  the  "  Fourth  <  Haas,"  and  the  number  of  the  names  in  it  was 

printed  at  the  foot  of  the  Glass  List. 

In  18301  tin;  uumber  of  classes  was  increased  to  five,  that  which 
had  beeu  the  Fourth  b  Lng  made  the  Fifth,  and  the  first  four  being 
designed  for  honorary  distinction.  It  was  also  provided  that  those  who 
were  not  Candidates  for  Honours  in  the  Classical  School  should  be 
examined  separately  from  those  who  were,  the  former  being  taken  first, 
and  that  Mathematical  ( landidates  should  be  examined  first  of  all  in  either 
series.  At  the  same  time  permission  was  given  to  the  Examiners  to  place 
in  the  Fourth  class  in  Classics  any  Candidate  whom  they  might  think 
worthy  of  it,  even  though  he  had  not  offered  himself  as  a  Candidate  for 
Honours ;  and,  as  a  choice  between  Logic  and  four  Books  of  Euclid  was 
now  allowed  to  those  who  were  not  Candidates  for  Honours,  whereas 
Logic  was  before  required  from  every  one,  that  permission  was  under- 
stood as  applying  to  the  Fourth  Class  in  Mathematics  likewise.  This 
enactment  took  effect  in  1831. 

The  Statutes  which  established  the  present  course  of  examination 
were  accepted  by  Convocation  in  the  years  1849, 1850, 1869, 1872, and  1886. 
To  the  old  Classical  and  Mathematical  Schools,  the  Schools  of  Natural 
Science,  and  of  Law  and  Modern  History  were  added  in  1853,  and  the 
School  of  Theology  in  1870.  The  School  of  Law  and  Modern  History 
was  divided  into  two  Schools,  one  of  Jurisprudence  and  the  other  of 
Modern  History,  in  1872.  The  School  of  Oriental  Studies  was  added 
in  1886.  There  are  four  Classes  for  each  School  corresponding  in  all 
respects  to  the  first  four  Classes  of  the  Statute  of  1830.  These  Schools 
are  now  designated  the  seven  Honour  Schools  of  the  Second  Public  Ex- 
amination. The  examination  of  Candidates  who  do  not  seek  Honours 
is  conducted  on  an  independent  footing  and  by  other  Examiners.  Since 
the  year  1882  the  examination,  in.  each  of  the  Honour  Schools  has  been 
held  once  a  year  only. 

Since  1883  the  Examiners  in  the  Final  Honour  Schools  have  had 
power,  of  which  they  have  occasionally  availed  themselves,  to  place  at 
the  foot  of  the  class-lists,  distinguished  by  the  word  aegrotat  (or  aegro- 
tant),  the  names  of  Candidates  who  have  been  prevented  by  illness 
from  showing  that  they  are  entitled  to  a  place  in  the  class-list,  or  from 
undergoing  the  complete  examination.  Such  Candidates  are  deemed  to 
have  obtained  honours  in  their  respective  Schools. 

In  the  Lists  issued  by  Moderators  there  were  at  first  but  two  divisions 
of  Honour  for  each  of  the  twro  Schools  of  Classics  and  Mathematics ;  but 
from  Michaelmas  Term,  1854,  there  have  been  three.  In  each  division 
the  Candidates'  names  are  placed  in  alphabetical  order. 

Since  1885  the  Examination  for  Honours  in  Classics  has  been  held 
only  once  a  year ;  that  for  Honours  in  Mathematics  has,  as  before, 
been  held  twice  a  year. 

1  In  1826  it  was  provided  that  Candidates  for  Honours  in  Mathematics  should  be  the 
first  examined  in  the  Classical  School,  but  no  change  was  made  in  the  arrangement  oi 
the  Class  List. 


CLASS   LISTS.  169 

The  Lists  of  Honours  and  Classes  which  have  been  published  by 
Public  Examiners  and  Moderators  from  the  first  establishment  of  their 
several  Examinations  will  be  found  in  the  Oxford  U.mvkksity 
Calendar. 

The  regulations  for  the  examination  of  Candidates  for  the  degree  of 
Bachelor  of  Civil  Law  were  revised  in  the  year  1871.  The  examination 
is  held  once  a  year,  in  Trinity  Term,  and  the  names  of  those  <  landidates 
(not  having  exceeded  the  twenty-fifth  Term  from  matriculation)  who 
satisfy  the  Examiners  are  arranged  alphabetically  in  three  classes 
according  to  merit.  The  first  examination  under  the  new  system  ' 
held  in  1873. 


COLLEGES. 


The  Colleges  are  distinct  corporate  bodies,  founded  at  various  times 
for  the  purpose  of  study,  and  nearly  (if  not  quite)  all  of  them  for  the 
purpose  of  education  also  ;  within  the  University,  hut  independent  of 
it ;  governed,  as  to  their  own  concerns,  by  their  respective  Statutes ; 
each  having  a  mansion  for  the  residence  of  Members  of  the  Foundation 
and  for  the  reception  of  academical  students  ;  and  holding  property  of 
various  kinds  through  the  munificence  of  Founders  and  Benefactors. 
In  common  use  the  word  "  College"  signifies  the  mansion  of  each  Society 
as  well  as  the  Society  itself. 

In  Oxford  there  are  twenty-one  Colleges  now  existing.  The  history 
of  their  relation  to  the  University  is  too  large  a  subject  to  be  treated 
here.  It  may  be  sufficient  to  say,  that  for  more  than  four  hundred 
years  previous  to  1855  no  person  could  be  a  M ember  of  the  University 
who  had  not  his  name  upon  the  books  of  some  College,  or  of  one  of 
the  Academical  Halls  which  are  described  further  on.  In  the  year  1855 
a  Statute  was  made,  by  which  Members  of  Convocation  wrere  permitted, 
under  certain  conditions,  to  open  Private  Halls  for  the  reception  of 
students :  but  very  few  have  hitherto  availed  themselves  of  the  per- 
mission. Another  Statute,  made  in  1868,  removed  the  old  restriction, 
and  enabled  persons  to  become  Students  and  Members  of  the  University 
without  belonging  to  any  College  or  Hall.  These  Students  are  by 
Statute  designated  "  Non-Collegiate"  (in  Latin,  Non  ascripti). 

The  corporation  of  every  College,  except  two,  comprises  a  Head, 
Fellows  and  Scholars  in  various  numbers,  and  a  few  other  Members, 
whose  numbers,  offices,  and  titles  differ  in  different  Societies.  All  these 
are  Members  of  the  Foundation,  and  receive  stipends  from  the  corporate 
revenues.  The  two  exceptions  are  All  Souls  and  Christ  Church. 
At  All  Souls  there  are  no  Scholars:  at  Christ  Church,  which  is  a 
cathedral  establishment  as  well  as  an  academical  institution,  there  is, 
besides  the  Dean,  a  capitular  body  of  Canons,  while  those  wTho  answer 
in  most  respects  to  Fellows  are  called  Students.  At  Merton  the  Scholars 
are  called  Postmasters,  at  Magdalen  Demies  (in  Latin,  Semi-Socii). 

Keble  College  is  a  society  or  house  founded  for  academical  study  and 
education,  and  admitted  to  the  privileges  enjoyed  by  the  Colleges  and 
Public  Halls  within  the  University  by  decree  of  Convocation,  April  18, 
1871. 

The  Heads  of  Colleges  have  not  all  the  same  title.  The  title  is"  Master" 
at  University,  Balliol,  and  Pembroke  Colleges  ;  "  Warden"  at  Merton, 
New  College,  All  Souls,  Wadham,  and  Keble;  "  Bector"  at  Exeter 
and  Lincoln;  "Provod"  at  Oriel,  Queen's,  and  Worcester  ;  "President" 


COLLEGES.  171 

at  Magdalen,  Corpus  Christi,  Trinity,  and  St.  John's;  "  Principal"  at 
Brasenose,  Jesus,  and  Hertford  ;  and  "  Dean  "  at  Christ  Church. 

All  the  Colleges,  except  Lincoln,  Keble,  and  Hertford,  are  now 
governed  by  Statutes  made  for  each  by  the  Commissioners  appointed 
under  the  Universities  of  Oxford  and  Cambridge  Act,  1877. 

In  Christ  Church  the  Dean,  Canons,  and  Students  are  the  Governing 
Body  ;  in  Keble  the  Warden  and  Council ;  in  every  other  College  the 
Head  and  Fellows.  Discipline  over  the  Junior  Members  of  each  Society 
is  exercised  by  the  Head,  his  Vicegerent,  and  certain  Officers  of  the 
College,  who  are  commonly  appointed  from  the  Fellows. 

In  almost  every  College  the  Head  is  elected  by  the  Fellows.  But 
the  Dean  of  Christ  Church  is  appointed  by  the  Crown,  the  Warden  of 
Keble  by  the  Council  of  that  College,  and  the  Principal  of  Hertford 
by  the  Chancellor  of  the  University.  Headships  are  tenable  for  life, 
but  subject  to  the  provisions  contained  in  the  new  Statutes  for  the 
retirement  on  a  pension  of  a  Head  who  has  become  permanently 
incapable  of  performing  the  duties  of  his  office,  or  for  his  deprivation 
for  grave  reasons. 

The  Fellowships  created  under  the  Statutes  of  1882  may  be  divided 
into  three  classes,  namely,  Professor  Fellowships,  Official  Fellowships, 
and  Ordinary  Fellowships,  but  the  representation  of  each  class  is  not 
provided  for  in  all  Colleges  alike.  Professor  Fellowships  are  annexed 
to  certain  University  Professorships,  and  constitute  part  of  their  emolu- 
ments ;  Official  Fellowships  are  tenable  by  the  holders  of  certain  College 
offices,  such  as  Tutors,  Chaplains,  and  Bursars,  so  long  as  they  continue 
to  hold  those  offices ;  Ordinary  Fellowships,  which  are  of  the  value  of 
£200  a  year,  and  are  tenable  for  seven  years  only,  may  be  awarded 
after  examination,  or  on  condition  of  the  holder  undertaking  definite 
literary  or  scientific  work  in  the  University  or  elsewhere,  or  may  be 
conferred  on  University  Professors  or  Readers.  The  Colleges  are  also 
empowered  to  elect  persons  of  distinction  to  Honorary  Fellowships, 
but  the  holders  of  such  Fellowships  have  no  share  in  the'  government 
of  the  College,  and  derive  no  emolument  from  its  revenues. 

Scholarships  are  usually  of  the  value,  inclusive  of  all  allowances,  of 
-£80  a  year.  They  are  awarded  by  the  Head  and  Fellows  after  exami- 
nation, and  are  tenable  in  the  first  instance  for  twro  years  only ;  their 
tenure  however  may  be  prolonged,  in  case  the  industry  and  good  con- 
duct of  the  Scholar  have  at  the  end  of  that  period  been  duly  certified,  for 
another  two  years,  at  the  expiration  of  which  a  further  extension  for 
one  year  is  in  special  cases  allowed.  As  a  general  rule  no  candidate  is 
eligible  for  an  Open  Scholarship  whose  age  on  the  day  of  election 
exceeds  nineteen  years. 

In  the  following  pages  the  several  Colleges  are  placed  in  the  reputed 
order  of  their  foundation. 


172 


I.  UNIVEESITY  COLLEGE. 

The  College  of  the  Great  Hall  of  the  University,  commonly  called 
University  College,  was,  according  to  popular  tradition,  founded  and 
endowed  by  King  Alfred  the  Great,  in  or  about  the  year  872.  No 
record  however  of  this  tradition  is  found  earlier  than  the  close  of  the 
fourteenth  or  the  beginning  of  the  fifteenth  century. 

The  first  historical  endowment  of  the  College  dates  from  the  year 
1 249.  In  that  year  William  of  Durham,  said  to  have  been  Rector 
of  Wearmouth  and  Archdeacon  of  Durham,  bequeathed  a  sum  of  money 
to  provide  a  permanent  endowment  for  the  maintenance  of  a  certain 
number  of  "  Masters."  The  first  purchase  with  this  bequest  was  made 
in  1253,  and  the  first  Statutes  are  dated  1280. 

The  endowment  of  William  of  Durham  was  added  to  at  various  dates 
by  other  benefactors;  among  others  by  King  Henry  IV,  at  the  instance 
of  Walter  Skirlow  or  Skirlaw,  Bishop  of  Durham,  in  1403  ;  by  Henry 
Percy,  Earl  of  Northumberland,  in  1455  ;  by  Robert  Dudley,  Earl  of 
Leicester,  in  1587  ;  by  John  Freeston,  in  1592  ;  by  Robert  Guusley,  in 
1610  ;  by  Sir  Simon  Bennet,  in  1631 ;  by  Dr.  John  Radcliffe,  in  1714; 
and  by  Dr.  John  Browne,  in  1764. 

The  foundation  now  consists  (according  to  Statutes  made  in  1881)  of 
a  Master,  thirteen  Fellows  (including  one  Civil  Law  Fellow),  seven- 
teen Scholars,  and  twelve  Exhibitioners. 

The  Fellowships  are  tenable  for  seven  years,  but  this  term  may  be 
extended  under  certain  conditions. 

The  Civil  Law  Fellowship  was  founded  in  1837  by  Mary  Anne 
Viscountess  Sidmouth,  in  honour  of  her  father,  William  Scott,  Lord 
Stowell,  sometime  Fellow  of  this  Society.  It  is  open  to  Members  of 
the  L'niversity  of  Oxford  who  have  passed  all  the  Examinations  required 
for  the  Degree  of  Bachelor  of  Arts,  and  have  not  exceeded  twenty- 
eight  Terms  from  their  Matriculation,  and  is  tenable  fur  seven  years. 

The  Scholarships  are  of  the  value  of  £80  per  annum,  and  are  open 
to  all  who  have  not  exceeded  the  age  of  nineteen  on  the  day  of  election 
They  are  tenable  in  the  first  instance  for  two  years,  but  this  term  is 
extended  to  four  years  in  case  of  good  conduct  and  industry,  and  may 
for  special  reasons  be  extended  to  five  years.

The  Heron  Exhibition  and  the  two  Lodge  Exhibitions  (annual  value 
not  exceeding  ,£70)  are  open  to  all  persons  in  need  of  support  at  the 
University  who  are  not  more  than  twenty-one  years  old  or  of  more  than 
six  Terms'  standing. 

The  three  Freest  on  Exhibitions  (value  £50)  are  confined  in  the  first 
instance  to  the  Grammar  Schools  of  Normanton,  Wakefield,  Pontefract, 
and  Swillington,  and  the  four  Gunsley  Exhibitions  (value  not  less  than 
s£45)  to  the  Grammar  Schools  of  Rochester  and  Maidstone. 

All  the  ahove  Exhibitions  are  held  on  the  same  tenure  ax  the 
Scholarships.

II.   BALLIOL  COLLEGE. 

Founded  by  John  Balliol,  of  Barnard  Castle  in  the  county  of  Dur- 
ham, and  Dervorgilla  his  wife  (parents  of  John  Balliol,  King  of  Scot- 
land). The  foundation  had  been  commenced  during  the  lifetime  of 
John  Balliol,  who  died  in  1269.  The  House  was  permanently  endowed 
by  his  widow,  who  in  the  year  1282  gave  to  it  the  earliest  statutes.  Its 
revenues  were  augmented  by  the  munificence  of  succeeding  Benefactors, 
particularly  of  Sir  William  Felton  and  Sir  Philip  Somervyle. 

There  are  now  fourteen  Fellowships  and  fifteen  Scholarships  on  the 
old  foundation  at  this  College  ;  the  latter  of  about  ,£80  a-year,  open  to 
candidates  under  nineteen  years  of  age.  There  are  five  Scholarships 
of  £60  a-year,  for  persons  educated  at  BlundellV  School,  Tiverton,  on 
the  foundation  of  Mr.  Peter  Blundell,  one  of  which  is  to  be  filled  up 
annually  by  examination  at  the  School.  There  are  four  Mathematical 
Scholarships,  tenable  for  four  years,  of  the  value  of  £80  a-year.  There 
are  also  eight  Scholarships,  of  £80  a-year, .tenable  for  four  years,  "for 
the  encouragement  of  the  study  of  Law  and  History,  and  of  the  study 
of  Natural  Science,  in  order  to  qualify  Students  for  the  professions  of 
Law  and  Medicine  respectively,"  founded  by  Hannah,  daughter  of  the 
late  Francis  Brakenbury,  as  a  grateful  memorial  of  her  deceased 
brothers,  James  B.  Brakenbury  and  Ralph  Brakenbury,  and  in  recog- 
nition of  an  ancient  connection  between  the  families  of  Balliol  and 
Brakenbury. 

Three  Exhibitions  (or  more,  according  to  circumstances)  of  £70 
a-year  are  annually  offered  by  the  College  for  open  competition  among 
all  Candidates  who  have  not  completed  the  eighth  Term  from  their 
matriculation.  There  are  also  a  certain  number  of  Minor  Exhibitions 
of  £40  a  year. 

The  "Warner  Exhibition  (founded  in  1667  by  John  "Warner,  Bishop 
of  Rochester),  of  about  £90  a  year,  is  confined  to  natives,  or  those  whose 
fathers  were  natives,  of  Scotland. 

All  these  Scholarships  and  Exhibitions,  under  the  regulations  of  the 
Oxford  University  Commission  of  1882,  are  tenable  for  two  years ; 
there  is  a  power  of  renewal  for  two  years  longer  if  the  College  are 
satisfied  with  the  Scholar  or  Exhibitioner  ;  and  a  further  power  of

extension  to  five  years  for  special  reasons.  They  can  only  be  held 
during  residence. 

The  Snell  Exhibitions  (ten  in  number  at  present)  were  added  in 
1677  by  John  Snell,  Esquire.  The  nomination  to  them  is  vested  In 
the  Principal  and  Professors  of  Glasgow  University,  and  the  election 
in  the  Master  and  Fellows  of  this  College.  One  or  two  of  these  are 
annually  filled  up  by  an  examination  held  at  Glasgow.  They  are 
tenable  during  residence  for  five  years. 

Two  Exhibitions  of  ,£100  a-year,  tenable  during  residence  for  four 
years,  were  founded  under  the  will  of  Richard  Jenkyns,  D.D.,  Master 
of  the  College  1819-54  ;  to  be  filled  up  by  competition  among  those 
members  of  the  College  who  have  not  exceeded  sixteen  Terms  of 
academical  standing. 

Henry  Skynner,  Esq.,  who  died  in  1884,  bequeathed  certain  ground- 
rents  in  London  for  the  foundation  of  Fellowships  and  Scholarships 
having  for  their  object  the  study  of  Mathematics  and  Astronomy.  A 
Scholarship  on  this  Foundation,  of  the  value  of  £90  a  year,  tenable 
for  five  years,  has  been  established  out  of  this  endowment. 

On  the  death,  in  1887,  of  the  last  Principal  of  New  Inn  Hall,  that 
institution,  which  had  existed  as  an  academical  hall  from  1438,  became, 
by  virtue  of  a  statute  made  by  the  University  of  Oxford  Commissioners 
in  1881,  united  with  Balliol  College,  in  which  its  property,  site,  and 


buildings  are  now  vested.

III.   MERTON  COLLEGE. 

This  College,  originally  called  the  House  of  Scholars  of  Morton,  was 
founded  in  the  year  1264,  at  Maiden  in  Surrey,  by  Walter  de  Merton, 
sometime  Chancellor  of  England,  and  afterwards  Bishop  of  Rochester. 
The  first  body  of  Statutes  was  given  by  the  Founder  in  1264,  the  third 
and  last  in  1274,  in  which  year  the  House  of  the  Scholars  was  removed 
to  Oxford. 

Subsequent  benefactors  were — in  1380,  John  Wyllyott,  D.D.,  Chan- 
cellor of  Exeter,  who  vested  his  Estates  in  the  College  for  the  main- 
tenance of  Portionistse,  since  called  Post-Masters ;  in  1604,  John 
Chamber,  Fellow  of  Eton,  Cauon  of  Windsor,  who  left  moneys  for  the 
maintenance  of  two  Post-Masters  and  one  Fellow,  to  be  elected  from 
Foundationers  of  Eton  ;  in  1753,  Henry  Jackson,  sometime  M.A.  of 
this  College,  and  afterwards  Minon  Canon  of  St.  Paul's,  who  founded 
certain  Exhibitions. 

Under  the  new  Statutes  made  by  the  University  of  Oxford  Commis- 
sioners in  1881,  the  number  of  Fellowships  with  emolument  is  not  to 
be  less  than  nineteen  and  may  be  raised  to  twenty-six.  Subject  to 
certain  reservations,  these  Fellowships  are  tenable  for  seven  years. 
Most  of  them  are  awarded  upon  the  results  of  an  examination,  but  the 
College  is  empowered,  within  certain  limits,  to  elect  without  examina- 
tion any  Professor  or  Public  Eeader  in  the  University  ;  any  person  of 
eminence  in  Literature,  Science,  or  Art,  who  shall  undertake  literary, 
scientific,  or  educational  work;  and  any  person  who  has  been  appointed 
to  act  as  Bursar,  Tutor,  or  Lecturer  of  the  College. 

The  number  of  Postmasterships,  or  Scholarships,  is  eighteen,  but 
may  be  increased.  Provision  is  made  for  their  being  assigned,  in  a 
definite  rotation,  to  Classics,  Mathematics,  and  Natural  Science  re- 
spectively. Their  annual  value  is  ^80,  inclusive  of  rooms  anel  all 
allowances.  They  are  tenable  for  two  years  from  the  day  of  election, 
but  may  be  renewed  for  a  further  period  of  two  years,  if  the  Warden 
and  Fellows,  after  receiving  a  report  from  the  Tutors,  shall  declare 
themselves  satisfied  with  the  Postmaster's  industry  and  good  conduct. 
Under  special  circumstances,  they  may  be  again  extended  for  one  year

longer.  No  person  is  eligible  to  a  Postmastership  who  lias  exceeded 
the  age  of  nineteen  on  the  day  of  election. 

Two  of  these  Postmasterships,  being  Chambers  Postmastorships,  are 
reserved  to  Candidates  educated  at  Eton  College,  if  any  shall  present 
themselves  "  of  sufficient  merit  for  election." 

There  are  also  four  Exhibitions  of  £60  a-year,  to  which  persons 
are  eligible  Avithout  restriction  of  age.  These  are  awarded  after  the 
same  examinations  and  under  the  same  conditions  as  the  Postmaster- 
ships. 

There  is  also  an  Exhibition  Fund,  whichMs  formed  for  the  purpose 
of  assisting  poor  students  and  of  promoting  study  among  the  Under- 
graduate Members  of  the  College. 

On  the  resignation  of  the  last  Principal  of  St.  Alban  Hall  in  1882, 
that  institution  (said  to  date  from  the  early  part  of  the  fifteenth  cen- 
tury) became,  by  virtue  of  a  Statute  made  by  the  University  of  Oxford 
Commissioners  in  1881,  united  with  Merton  College,  in  which  its  pro- 
perty, site,  and  buildings  are  now  vested.

under  the  name  of  Exeter  College  in  the  University  of  Oxford ;  and 
enlarged  by  a  second  endowment  given  in  that  year  by  Sir  William 
Petre,  Knight. 

There  are  at  present  twelve  Fellowships,  including  the  Chaplain 
Fellowship. 

There  are  twenty-one  or  more  Foundation  Scholarships :  of  these, 
eight  (called  Stapledon  Scholarships)  are  limited  to  persons  born  or

Charles  the  First's  Scholarships)  to  persons  born  in  any  of  the  Channel 
Islands,  or  educated  at  Victoria  College,  Jersey,  or  Elizabeth  College, 
Guernsey.  The  rest  of  the  Scholarships  are  open.  Four  are  usually 
awarded  for  proficiency  in  Mathematics,  and  four  for  proficiency  in 
Natural  Science.  The  College  exercises  the  power  of  adding  to  the 
number  of  Open  Scholarships. 

The  Stapledon  Scholarships  are  of  the  value  of  not  less  than  ,£60  a 
year  ;  the  remainder  of  £80. 

If  no  duly  qualified  candidates  present  themselves  for  the  limited

who  are  already  members  of  the  College  have  a  preference  cssteris  paribus 
over  other  candidates.  Subject  to  this  reservation  the  Carter  Scholar- 
ship is  open. 

Two  Scholarships,  each  of  the  value  of  £80  a  year,  have  been  founded 
by  Miss  Marianne  Frances  Hasker,  "  for  the  advancement  of  sound 
learning  and  for  the  encouragement  of  the  study  of  Theology  by  persons 
intending  to  take  Holy  Orders."  These  Scholarships  are  open  to  all 
persons  born  British  subjects  who  need  assistance  at  the  University.

V.   ORIEL  COLLEGE. 

This  College  was  founded  by  Edward  II.  in  1326,  on  the  suggestion 
of  Adam  de  Brome,  his  almoner,  for  a  Provost  and  ten  Fellows.  The 
number  of  Fellowships  was  subsequently  increased  to  eighteen  by 
various  benefactions.  Four  were  founded  by  John  Frank,  Master  of 
the  Bolls,  who  died  A.D.  1441 ;  one  by  John  Carpenter,  Bishop  of 
Worcester,  about  the  year  1476 ;  one  by  William  Smyth,  Bishop  of 
Lincoln,  1507  ;  and  two  by  Richard  Dudley,  Chancellor  of  the  Church 
of  Salisbury,  1529.  Queen  Anne  annexed  to  the  Provostship  a  Canonry 
of  Rochester,  which  was  afterwards  severed  from  it  under  Statutes 
made  by  the  University  Commissioners  of  1877,  and  is  now  annexed 
to  the  Oriel  Professorship  of  the  Interpretation  of  Holy  Scripture. 

Several  Exhibitions  and  Scholarships  were  founded  in  this  College 
by  different  Benefactors  :  viz.  six,  of  inconsiderable  value,  by  Richard 
Dudley,  above  mentioned  ;  three  by  Dr.  Robinson,  Bishop  of  London, 
1718 ;  four  under  the  Will  of  Henry,  Duke  of  Beaufort,  1744  ;  two 
under  that  of  Mrs.  Ludwell,  1761 ;  one  (the  Rutland  Exhibition),  by 
the  Rev.  Richard  Twopeny,  1838  ;  and  two  under  the  Will  of  Dr. 
Ireland,  Dean  of  Westminster,  1842. 

By  Statutes  made  by  the  Commissioners  under  the  Universities  Act 
1877  the  number  of  Fellows  (exclusive  of  Professor  Fellows)  was 
reduced  to  twelve.  The  Regius  Professor  of  Modern  History  and  the 
Oriel  Professor  of  the  Interpretation  of  Holy  Scripture  are  Professor 
Fellows. 

Under  the  same  Statutes  there  are  at  least  ten  Scholarships  and 
four  Exhibitions,  called  the  Exhibitions  of  Adam  de  Brome,  tenable 
for  four  years  (which  may  be  extended  for  special  reasons  to  five 
years) ;  the  value  of  each  of  these  Scholarships  and  Exhibitions  (during 
residence)  being  £S0  per  annum.  Candidates  for  the  Exhibitions 
must  be  deserving  persons  in  need  of  support  at  the  University ;  to 
a  Scholarship  no  one  is  eligible  who  has  attained  the  age  of  nineteen 
years. 

There  are  also  nine  Exhibitions  besides  those  last  above  named,  an'1 
two  Bible  Clerkships.

VI.    THE   QUEEN'S  COLLEGE. 

Founded  in  1340,  0.  S.,  by  Eobert  Eglesfield,  Chaplain  to  Philippa,

VII.    NEW  COLLEGE. 

This  College  was  founded  by  William  of  Wykeham,  Bishop  of  Win- 
chester, and  sometime  Lord  High  Chancellor  of  England,  under  a 
Charter  of  Eichard  the  Second,  dated  30th  June,  1379,  and  a  Deed  of 
Foundation  dated  26th  November,  1379,  for  a  Warden,  seventy  Fellows 
and  Scholars,  ten  Chaplains,  three  Clerks,  and  sixteen  Choristers. 

Lender  Statutes  made  by  the  Oxford  University  Commissioners  in 
1881,  and  approved  by  the  Queen  in  Council,  May  3, 1882,  the  Fellow- 
ships hereafter  are  to  be  divided  into  three  classes,  viz.  Professor 
Fellowships,  Tutorial  Fellowships,  and  Ordinary  Fellowships. 

The  Professor  Fellowships  are  to  be  five  in  number,  and  are  to  be 
annexed  to  the  Savilian  Professorships  of  Geometry  and  Astronomy : 
the  Professorship  of  Logic  ;  a  Professorship  of  Ancient  History ;  and 
a  Professorship  of  Physics  ;  and  the  holders  of  the  last  three  Professor- 
ships are  to  be  called  Wykeham  Professors. 

The  Tutorial  Fellowships  are  to  be  so  many,  not  exceeding  ten,  in 
number,  as  the  Warden  and  Fellows  may  deem  necessary. 

The  Ordinary  Fellowships  are  to  be  not  less  than  fourteen  in  number, 
nor  more  than  will  make  up  the  whole  number  of  Fellowships  to 
thirty-six,  including  any  Fellowship  to  which  a  Bursar  may  have  been 
elected. 

So  soon  as  the  revenues  of  the  College  will  permit,  two  Ordinary 
Fellowships  (called  respectively  Winchester  and  Open  Fellowships)  are 
to  be  filled  up  annually  by  competition.  One  of  these  is  to  be  open  to 
all  persons  who  shall  have  been  educated  for  at  least  two  years  in  the 
School  of  Winchester  College,  or  have  been  for  at  least  twelve  Terms 
members  of  New  College ;  the  other  is  to  be  open  to  all  persons  who 
shall  have  passed  all  the  Examinations  required  by  the  University  for 
the  Degree  of  B.A. 

The  Scholarships  are  divided  into  two  Classes,  respectively  called 
Winchester  Scholarships  and  Open  Scholarships. 

The  Winchester  Scholarships  are  so  many  as  will  enable  the  War- 
den and  Fellows  to  elect  to  six  such  Scholarships  in  each  year,  from 
the  boys  receiving  education  in  the  School  of  Winchester  College ; 


NEW   COLLEGE. 


185 


no  distinction  being  made  between  members  of  the  foundation  of  Win- 
chester College  and  boys  not  members  thereof. 

The  Open  Scholarships  are  to  be  so  many  as  will  enable  the  Warden 
and  Fellows  to  elect  to  four  Open  Scholarships  in  each  year. 

No  Candidate  is  eligible  to  an  Open  Scholarship  whose  age  on  the  day 
of  election  shall  exceed  nineteen  years. 

The  emoluments  of  a  Scholarship,  inclusive  of  rooms  and  all  allow- 
ances, if  any,  are  to  be  <£80  a-year. 

Every  Scholarship  is  tenable  for  two  years  from  the  day  of  election  ; 
but  the  tenure  may  be  prolonged  for  a  further  period  of  two  years  ;  and, 
for  special  reasons,  for  one  year  more.

Other  Fellowships,  not  exceeding  eleven  in  number,  may  be  held 
officially  by  persons  holding  the  office  of  Dean  of  Divinity,  Senior 
Dean  of  Arts,  Bursar,  or  Tutor  in  the  College.  Of  the  remainder, 
which  are  tenable  under  certain  conditions  for  seven  years,  two,  as  far 
as  practicable,  are  to  be  filled  up  in  every  year  ;  and  the  examination 
for  them  is  to  be  held  in  subjects  connected  with  the  studies  of  the 
University,  special  reference  being  had  in  the  examination  for  one 
Fellowship,  once  at  least  in  every  three  years,  to  excellence  in  The- 
ology, and  in  every  seven  years  once  at  least  to  excellence  in  Mathe- 
matics, and  once  at  least  to  excellence  in  Natural  Science  or

with  special  reference  to  proficiency  in  one  or  more  of  the  following 
subjects:  Mathematics,  Natural  Science,  Modern  History  and  Litera- 
ture, or  Modern  Languages,  if  candidates  sufficiently  qualified  in  these 
subjects  (who  shall  also  satisfy  the  electors  that  they  are  otherwise  fit 
to  be  members  of  the  College)  shall  present  themselves.

XII.     COEPUS  CHEISTI   COLLEGE. 

This  College  was  founded  in  the  year  1516,  by  Richard  Fox,  Bishop 
of  Winchester  and  Lord  Privy  Seal,  for  a  President,  three  Professors 
(whose  lectures  were  to  be  open  to  the  University  at  large),  twenty 
Fellows,  twenty  Scholars,  two  Chaplains,  two  Clerks  and  two  Choristers. 
The  Clerks  and  Choristers  were  subsequently  designated  Exhibitioners.

Oxford  Commissioners  in  1881  have  been  fully  carried  out,  it  will  con- 
sist of  a  President,  five  Professorial  Fellows,  five  or  six  Official  Fellows, 
three  Extraordinary  Fellows,  fourteen  Ordinary  Fellows,  and  thirty-six 
Scholars.  The  Professorial  Fellowships  will  be  annexed  respectively  to 
the  Chairs  of  Latin,  Jurisprudence,  Moral  Philosophy,  Comparative 
Philology,  and  the  Eomance  Languages. 

The  College  at  present  consists  of  a  President,  fourteen  Fellows,  two 
of  whom  are  Professorial  Fellows,  and  twenty-five  Scholars.  The  pro- 
ceeds of  one  Fellowship  are  added  to  the  stipend  of  the  present  Professor 
of  Chinese. 

The  Scholarships  are  of  the  annual  value  of  ,£'80,  and  are  tenable, 
under  certain  conditions,  for  four  or  five  years  from  Matriculation. 

Exhibitions,  instituted  by  the  President  and  Fellows,  are  competed 
for  from  time  to  time  by  Commoners  of  the  College.

XIII.   CHRIST  CHURCH. 

This  Society,  founded  originally  by  Cardinal  Wolsey,  Cardinal  of 
St.  Cecilia  and  Archbishop  of  York,  on  the  site  of  the  Priory  of  St. 
Frideswide,  was  to  have  consisted  of  a  Dean,  Sub-Dean,  one  hundred 
Canons,  ten  Public  Readers,  thirteen  Chaplains,  an  Organist,  twelve 
Clerks,  and  thirteen  Choristers. 

This  imperfect  Foundation  continued  only  from  1526  to  1529,  when, 
before  its  completion,  the  Cardinal  having  fallen  into  disgrace,  King 
Henry  VIII.  suspended  the  Foundation,  which  he  re-established  in 
1532,  under  the  name  of  Henry  the  Eighth's  College,  for  a  Dean  and 
twelve  Canons.  This  was  again  suppressed  in  1545  ;  and  in  the  year 
following  the  Episcopal  See  was  removed  from  Osney  to  this  College, 
and  the  Church  of  St.  Frideswide  was  constituted  a  Cathedral,  by  the 
name  of  the  Cathedral  Church  of  Christ  in  Oxford,  for  the  maintenance 
of  a  Dean,  eight  Canons,  eight  Chaplains,  a  Schoolmaster,  an  Organist, 
eight  Clerks,  and  eight  Choristers  ;  together  with  one  hundred  Stu- 
dents ;  to  which  number  one  more  was  added  in  1664,  in  consequence 
of  a  Benefaction  from  William  Thurstone,  Esq. 

The  House  is  now  governed  by  Statutes  made  by  the  University  of 
Oxford  Commissioners,  which  became  law  in  1882. 

Under  these  Statutes,  there  is  a  body  of  Students  (equivalent  to 
Fellows)  who  are  divided  into  two  classes,  Official  and  Non-Official. 

There  is  also  a  body  of  Scholars.  Of  these,  three  are  elected  each 
year  from  Westminster  School,  and  hold  their  places,  in  the  first  in- 
stance, for  two  years ;  but  at  the  end  of  this  period  their  tenure  may 
be  extended  for  three  years  more  if  the  Governing  Body  shall  have 
declared  itself  satisfied  with  their  industry  and  good  conduct. 

There  are  also  five  or  six  Open  Scholarships  offered  for  competition 
every  year,  one  at  least  for  proficiency  in  Mathematics,  one  at  least 
for  proficiency  in  Natural  Science,  and  one  at  least  for  proficiency  in 
Modern  History.  These  Scholars  hold  their  places  for  two  years  ;  but 
at  the  end  of  this  period  their  tenure  may  be  extended  for  a  second 
term  of  two  years  if  the  Governing  Body  shall  have  declared  itself

Besides  these,  two  Scholars  are  elected  each  year  from  among  Under- 
graduate Members  of  the  House  who  have  been  in  residence  for  at  least 
three  Terms  and  have  the  leave  of  the  Dean  to  compete.  These 
Scholars  hold  their  places,  in  the  first  instance,  to  the  end  of  their 
sixteenth  Term  from  Matriculation,  but  at  the  end  of  this  period, 
under  special  circumstances,  their  tenure  may  be  extended  for  one 
year  more. 

All  these  Scholarships  are  of  the  annual  value  of  i?80,  inclusive  of 
all  allowances. 

In  addition  to  these  Scholarships  the  Governing  Body  may,  if  they 
think  fit,  award  to  any  selected  candidate  for  the  Indian  Civil  Service 
a  Scholarship  tenable  during  residence  with  emoluments  not  exceeding 
,£50  a  year :  such  Scholarships  are  never  to  exceed  six  at  any  one 
time. 

There  are  Open  Exhibitions  of  ,£45  a-year,  together  with  tuition 
and  dinner  free,  tenable  in  the  first  instance  for  two  years,  at  the  end 
of  which  time  they  may  be  extended  by  the  Governing  Body  in  the 
same  way  and  under  the  same  conditions  as  the  Open  Scholarships ; 
and  also  Exhibitions  of  less  amount.  Candidates  before  being  allowed 
to  compete  for  these  must  satisfy  the  Dean  that  without  such  assistance 
they  cannot  maintain  themselves  at  College.  There  is  no  other  limi- 
tation. 

Four  Fell  Exhibitions  of  £4:0  a-year,  tenable  for  four  years  during 
continuous  residence,  are  filled  up  by  competition  among  Commoners 
of  the  House  who  have  resided  not  less  than  three  Terms. 

The  Slade  Exhibition  of  ,£30  for  one  year  is  open  to  any  not  yet 
matriculated. 

The  Careswell  Exhibitions  are  filled  up  by  examinations  holden  each 
year  at  either  Shrewsbury  School  or  one  of  five  other  Schools  in  Salop, 
and  are  tenable  under  certain  conditions  for  ten  years.  The  House 
awards  four  smaller  College  Exhibitions  among  the  Careswell  Exhibi- 
tioners if  they  are  qualified  under  the  conditions  stated  above  for  the 
Open  Exhibitions.

XIV.     TEINITY  COLLEGE. 


This  College  was  originally  founded  and  endowed  by  Edward  the 
Third,  Richard  the  Second,  and  the  Priors  and  Bishops  of  Durham. 
As  it  was  under  the  patronage  of  the  latter,  it  obtained  the  name  of 
Durham  College,  though  dedicated  from  the  beginning  to  the  Holy 
Trinity,  Our  Lady,  and  St.  Cuthbert. 

Being  merged  with  Religious  Houses  at  the  Reformation,  it  was 
suppressed  ;  and  Sir  Thomas  Pope,  Knt.,  of  Tittenhanger  in  Hertford- 
shire, having  purchased  the  site  and  buildings,  began  and  endowed 
a  new  Foundation,  in  1554,  for  a  President,  twelve  Fellows,  and 
twelve  Scholars.  The  Fellowships  and  Scholarships  (of  which  there 
may  now  be  sixteen)  are  entirely  open. 

There  is  also  a  Scholarship,  nearly  coeval  with  Sir  Thomas  Pope's 
foundation,  founded  by  Richard  Blount,  Esq.,  of  the  city  of  London, 
who  was  connected  by  marriage  with  the  Founder.  The  Henniker 
Scholarship  was  founded  in  the  year  1867,  by  Aldborough  Henniker, 
Esq.,  of  Calcote,  Somerset. 

An  Exhibition,  called  the  Unton  Pension,  was  given  by  Thomas 
Unton,  Clerk,  of  Drayton,  in  Shropshire,  in  1693  ;  a  second,  called  the 
Tylney  Exhibition,  by  Frederick  Tylney,  Esq.,  of  the  county  of  Hants, 
in  the  year  1720 ;  and  a  third  by  Edward  Cobden,  D.D.,  Arch- 
deacon of  London,  in  1784.  There  are  other  Exhibitions  in  the  gift 
of  the  College. 

In  1873  the  College  received  a  legacy  under  the  Will  of  Thomas 
Millard,  Esq.,  who  directed  the  income  to  be  applied  so  as  to  advance 
Mathematical  and  General  Science  in  the  College.

XV.    ST.  JOHN'S  COLLEGE. 

This  College  was  founded  in  1555,  by  Sir  Thomas  White,  Knt.,

dent, fifty  Fellows  and  Scholars,  one  Chaplain,  an  Organist,  six  Singing 
Men,  eight  Choristers,  and  two  Sextons. 

Under  the  Statutes  made  by  the  University  of  Oxford  Commissioners 
of  1877,  the  foundation  will  hereafter  consist  of — 

1.  Not  less  than  fourteen  nor  more  than  eighteen  Fellowships,  of 
which  seven  may  be  Official  Fellowships,  the  rest  tenable  for  seven 
years.  To  these  may,  at  future  times,  be  added  two  ex  officio  Fellow- 
ships, to  be  held  by  the  Laudian  Professor  of  Arabic  and  the  Professor 
of  Mechanics  and  Civil  Engineering. 

2.  Not  less  than  twenty-eight  Scholarships,  of  which  six  shall  be 
open,  fifteen  appropriated  to  Merchant  Taylors'  School,  two  to  Coventry

Tunbridge  School. 

3.  Four  Senior  Scholarships,  also  confined  to  former  pupils  of 
Merchant  Taylors'  School. 

There  is  also  one  Open  Scholarship,  created  from  the  estate  of  William 
Lambe  by  Statute  35  &  36  Yict.  c.  cliv. 

In  1854,  four  Fellowships  tenable  for  fourteen  years  were  established 
in  this  College  in  pursuance  of  the  Will  of  Dudley  Fereday,  Esq.,  of 
Ettingshall  Park,  Staffordshire.  They  are  open,  with  certain  limita- 
tions and  under  certain  conditions  in  respect  of  literary  proficiency,  first, 
to  the  kindred  of  the  Founder  ;  secondly,  to  natives  of  Staffordshire  ;  and 
in  case  of  a  Founder's  kin  or  Staffordshire  candidate  not  satisfying  the 
conditions,  then  to  any  other  person  whatsoever. 

Under  the  Will  of  the  Rev.  John  Thomas  Casberd,  D.C.L.,  Prebendary 
of  Llandaff,  four  Scholarships  were  founded,  each  of  the  value  of 
,£80  per  annum.  Candidates  to  be  Undergraduates  not  on  any  founda- 
tion, of  at  least  one  year's  standing  in  the  College.

XVI.   JESUS  COLLEGE. 

Founded  by  Queen  Elizabeth,  in  1571,  on  the  petition  of  Hugh 
Price,  LL.D.,  Treasurer  of  St.  David's,  who  left  lands  for  the  mainten- 
ance of  a  Principal,  eight  Fellows,  and  eight  Scholars  :  it  was  increased 
by  different  Benefactors,  so  that  the  Society  consisted  of  a  Principal, 
nineteen  Fellows,  and  eighteen  Scholars. 

The  College  now  consists  of  a  Principal  and  not  fewer  than  ten  nor 
more  than  fourteen  Fellows. 

In  the  elections  to  Non-official  Fellowships,  unless  one-half  of  the

of  the  following  restrictions,  no  person  is  eligible  unless  he  be  a  native 
of  Wales  or  Monmouthshire,  or  has  been  a  Welsh  Scholar  of  Jesus 
College,  or,  having  been  at  the  time  of  his  Matriculation  eligible  to  a

XVII.   WADHAM  COLLEGE. 

Founded  by  Nicholas  Wadham,  of  Merifield  in  the  county  of 
Somerset,  Esquire,  and  Dorothy  his  wife,  daughter  of  Sir  William 
Petre,  to  be  a  College  of  Students  "ad  laudem  gloriam  et  honorem 
Omnipotentis  Dei,  bonarum  literarum  incrementum,  ac  communem 
hujus  regni  utilitatem." 

The  Society  was  founded  in  1612,  under  Letters  Patent  granted  by 
King  James  I,  and  consisted  originally  of  a  Warden,  fifteen  Fellows, 
fifteen  Scholars,  two  Chaplains,  and  two  Clerks.  Under  the  present 
Statutes,  which  were  approved  by  the  Queen  in  Council  on  May  3, 
1882,  there  are  to  be  not  less  than  eight  or  more  than  ten  Fellowships, 
inclusive  of  one  held  by  the  Professor  of  Experimental  Philosophy, 
and  of  one  for  the  encouragement  of  the  study  of  Medicine,  on  the 
foundation  of  John  Wills,  D.D.,  Warden  1788-1806. 

There  are  eighteen  Scholarships,  including  five  on  the  foundation  of 
Humphrey  Hody,  D.D.,  Regius  Professor  of  Greek  1698-1707,  and 
sometime  Fellow. 

The  election  to  two  of  Dr.  Hody's  Scholarships  is  made  after  an  ex- 
amination in  the  Hebrew  language  and  literature,  and  in  the  election 
to  the  other  three  special  regard  is  to  be  had  to  knowledge  of  Greek. 

The  Scholarships  are  of  the  value  of  ,£80  a-year.  They  are  tenable 
in  the  first  instance  for  two  years,  but  in  the  case  of  all  Scholars  whose 
conduct  and  industry  are  satisfactory  this  term  is  prolonged  to  four 
years,  to  which  for  special  reasons  a  fifth  may  be  added.  Candidates 
for  Scholarships  must  be  under  nineteen  years  of  age  on  the  day  of 
election,  except  in  the  case  of  Dr.  Hody's  Scholarships  for  Hebrew, 
for  which  the  limit  of  age  is  twenty. 

The  election  of  Fellows  takes  place  on  the  Wednesday  after  the 
Encaenia  ;  the  election  of  Scholars  on  the  sixth  of  December. 

From  the  income  of  Dr.  Hody's  fund  prizes  are  to  be  given  within 
the  College  on  such  conditions  as  the  Warden  and  Fellows  may  deter- 
mine, for  proficiency  in  the  Greek  language  and  literature,  or  in  Greek 
Archaeology. 

There  is  a  general  Exhibition  fund,  formed  from  the  funds  given  for

There  are  also  several  Exhibitions,  of  which  two  are  connected  with 
the  Charterhouse  School,  and  three  with  Bromsgrove  School.

1  Gloucester  Hall  was  founded  in  the  year  1283,  for  the  use  of  the  Benedictine  Monks 
of  the  Monastery  of  St.  Peter  in  Gloucester.  Several  additional  Buildings  were  after- 
wards added  by  the  Monks  of  that  order,  in  different  parts  of  Enpland,  for  the  edifi- 
cation of  those  of  their  own  Societies.  After  the  dissolution  of  Monasteries,  in  the 
time  of  Henry  VIII,  on  making  Oxford  a  See,  it  was  converted  into  the  Episcopal 
Palace  ;  but  in  the  year  lr>.r>9,  it  was  purchased  by  Sir  Thomas  White,  the  Founder  of 
St.  John's  College,  who  gave  it  the  name  of  "  St.  John  Baptist  Hall,"  though  it  was  more 
generally  called  "  Gloucester  Hall."

XX.    KEBLE  COLLEGE. 

The  College  was  built  by  subscription  as  a  memorial  to  the  late 
Eev.  John  Keble,  Vicar  of  Hursley,  near  Winchester,  sometime  Fellow 
and  Tutor  of  Oriel  College,  and  Professor  of  Poetry  in  the  University 
of  Oxford.  The  College  was  incorporated  by  Eoyal  Charter  bearing 
date  June  6,  1870,  and  by  this  Charter  it  is  declared  to  be  "  founded 
and  constituted  with  the  especial  object  and  intent  of  providing  persons 
desirous  of  academical  education,  and  willing  to  live  economically,  with 
a  College  wherein  sober  living  and  high  culture  of  the  mind  may  be 
combined  with  Christian  training  based  upon  the  principles  of  the 
Church  of  England." 

The  College  is  governed  by  a  Warden  and  a  Council  of  not  less  than 
nine,  nor  more  than  twelve,  members.  The  whole  charge  and  super- 
intendence of  the  discipline  and  internal  administration  is  lodged  by 
the  Charter  in  the  hands  of  the  Warden. 

By  a  decree  of  Convocation,  passed  April  18,  1871,  this  College  was 
admitted  to  the  privileges  mentioned  in  Statt.  Tit.  II.  Sect,  vi,  On  the 
Foundations  for  Academical  Study  and  Education.

XXI.    HERTFORD  COLLEGE. 

About  the  year  1282  Elias  de  Hertford  converted  into  a  Hall  for 
students  certain  premises  in  Oxford,  which  were  thereafter  known  by 
the  name  of  Hertford,  Hert,  or  Hart  Hall. 

In  1740,  Dr.  Richard  Newton,  then  Principal  of  Hart  Hall,  obtained 
a  charter  of  incorporation  for  the  Society,  under  the  title  of"  The  Prin- 
cipal and  Fellows  of  Hertford  College,  in  the  University  of  Oxford;" 
but,  the  endowments  proving  insufficient,  the  College  was  in  consequence 
dissolved  hi  1805.  A  part  of  the  property  of  the  dissolved  College  was 
transferred  to  the  University,  and  the  Hertford  Scholarship  was  endowed 
therefrom.  The  remainder  was  transferred  to  Magdalen  Hall  under  the 
following  circumstances. 

Magdalen  Hall,  originally  designed  by  Bishop  Waynflete  for  students 
previously  to  their  admission  into  Magdalen  College,  and  governed  by  one 
of  the  Fellows  of  that  College,  became,  in  1602,  an  independent  Hall. 
In  1816,  the  President  and  Fellows  of  Magdalen  College,  being  desirous 
of  recovering  the  site  of  the  Hall,  obtained  an  Act  of  Parliament 
(56  Geo.  Ill,  c.  136),  enabling  them  to  acquire  for  Magdalen  Hall  the 
site  and  buildings  previously  occupied  by  Hertford  College.  The 
Principal  and  other  Members  of  the  Hall  were  accordingly  removed  to 
these  premises  in  1822,  and  received,  as  stated  above,  the  residue  of  the 
property  formerly  held  by  Hertford  College. 

In  1874,  an  Act  was  passed  (37  &  38  Vict.  c.  55),  by  which  Magdalen 
Hall  was  dissolved,  and  the  Principal  and  Scholars  thereof  were,  to- 
gether with  certain  Fellows  mentioned  in  the  Act,  incorporated  as 
a  College  of  the  University  of  Oxford  under  the  name  of  "  The  Prin- 
cipal, Fellows,  and  Scholars  of  Hertford  College,  in  the  University  of 
Oxford,"  and  invested  with  "  all  such  rights  and  privileges  as  are 
possessed  or  enjoyed  or  can  be  exercised  by  other  Colleges  in  the  University 
of  Oxford^ 

This  Society  consists  at  present  of  a  Principal  appointed  by  the  Chan- 
cellor of  the  University,  nineteen  Fellows,  and  forty  Scholars. 

The  new  Foundation  consists  of  an  endowment  for  fifteen  Fellow-

Bhips,  thirty  Scholarships,  and  sundry  Lectureships.  There  are  also 
(besides  bo  anendowed  Fellowship)  two  Fellowships  tenable  only  by 
married  men  for  a  limited  onmber  of  years.  The  thirty  Scholarships 
are  of  the  annual  valne  of  ,£100,  and  tenable  for  five  years.  Most  of 
them  are  open. 

Of  the  ten  Scholarships  formerly  belonging  to  the  dissolved  Magdalen 
Hall,  and  tenable  for  at  leasl  three  years,  four  founded  by  the  Rev.  John 
ftfeeke  and  two  by  the  Rev.  William  Lucy  are  now  of  the  annual  value 
of  ,£40,  and  are  limited  in  the  first  instance  to  persons  educated  at  the 
Free  Grammar  School  of  Worcester  and  Hampton  Lucy  School  respect- 
ively, but  in  the  absence  of  qualified  candidates  from  these  .School- 
art-  thrown  open  to  general  competition.  The  other  four,  three  founded 
by  Mr. Henry Lusby  and  one  as  a  memorial  of  Dr.  Macbride,  late  Prin- 
cipal of  Magdalen  Hall,  are  open,  and  worth  at  least  ^50  a  year. 

There  are  also  two  Exhibitions,  founded  respectively  by  Dr.  Thomas 
White  and  Dr.  Henry  Brunsell,  in  the  gift  of  the  Principal.

HALLS1. 


The  Academical  Halls  now  existing  in  Oxford  are  mansions  for  the 
reception  of  students,  who  live  in  them  under  discipline  and  instruc- 
tion, and  pass  through  the  course  of  study  to  their  several  degrees, 
precisely  in  the  same  way  as  other  students  who  reside  in  Colleges. 
But  the  term  "  Hall"  implies  also  the  society  of  students  belonging  to 
each ;  and  in  this  sense  there  is  a  very  important  difference  be- 
tween Halls  and  Colleges,  inasmuch  as  Halls  are  not  corporate  bodies, 
and  have  no  endowments  for  Fellows,  and  all  the  property  which  they 
own  is  held  in  trust  for  them  by  the  University.  In  each  of  the  Halls 
now  remaining  some  provision  for  the  Principals  has  been  made  by 
Benefactors  ;  and  in  one  a  few  Exhibitions  or  Scholarships  have  been 
founded. 

In  early  times  students  resorting  to  Oxford  took  up  their  abode  in 
lodging-houses,  generally  called  Halls,  under  the  charge  of  a  Master 
or  Principal  chosen  by  themselves  ;  and  they  removed  from  one  Hall 
to  another  at  their  pleasure.  The  number  of  such  Halls  on  record  is 
so  great  that  we  must  suppose  that  very  many  of  them  were  very 
small.  Brian  Twyne,  at  the  end  of  his  Apologia,  has  given  the  names 
of  more  than  180;  and  Sir  John  Peshall,  from  "Wood's  MSS.,  enu- 
merates as  many  as  200.  But  Colleges  gradually  took  the  place  of  all 
the  smallest,  partly  by  the  actual  occupation  of  their  sites,  principally 
by  offering  better  instruction  and  other  advantages  to  students  ;  so 
that  when  the  Earl  of  Leicester  was  Chancellor,  in  the  reign  of  Queen 
Elizabeth,  there  were  but  eight  remaining  open  ;  and  three  of  these 
were  subsequently  converted  into  Colleges. 

Among  the  many  steps  taken  by  Lord  Leicester  for  the  restoration 
of  good  order  and  discipline  in  the  University  there  are  two  which 
tended  to  assimilate  Halls  to  Colleges  in  most  things  concerning  the 
residence  of  students  within  them.  He  secured  for  himself  and  his 
successors  the  right  of  appointing  Principals  to  all  Halls,  except  one 
in  the  gift  of  Queen's  College  ;  and  he  caused  an  ancient  Statute  to  be 
put  in  force,  which  required  that  every  student  should  belong  to,  and 
should  reside  within  the  walls  of,  some  College  or  Hall.  The  modifi- 
cation of  that  Statute  in  1855  by  the  institution  of  Private  Halls,  and 
the  removal  of  its  restrictions  in  1868,  have  been  already  mentioned  at 
page  34,  and  will  be  further  spoken  of  at  page  216. 

1  Although,  under  Statutes  made  hy  the  University  Commissioners  of  1877,  the  two 
Halls  now  remaining  are,  with  a  partial  exception  in  the  case  of  St.  Edmund  Hall, 
destined  to  be  ultimately  absorbed  into  Colleges,  this  article  is  retained  as  being 
generally  applicable  to  the  condition  of  the  Halls  at  the  time  of  publication. 


HALLS.  211 

The  Heads  of  Halls  are  styled  "  Principals."  In  St,  Edmund  Hall, 
the  appointment  of  the  Principal  is  made  l>y  the  Provost  and  Fellows 
of  Queen's  College,  the  Principals  of  the  others  were  appointed  by 
the  Chancellor  of  the  University,  who  is  the  Visitor  of  all  the  Halls. 
Halls  are  governed  by  the  Statute  Aularia,  a  code  of  regulations  printed" 
in  the  Statute  Book,  which  were  made  originally  by  the  University, 
and  have  been  amended  from  time  to  time  by  Convocation.  The 
Principal  of  each  Hall  is  assisted  in  the  exercise  of  discipline  and 
in  his  other  duties  by  a  Vice-Principal  and  other  Officers  (when 
necessary),  who  are  appointed  by  himself. 

Under  Statutes  made  by  the  University  Commissioners  of  1877, 
St.  Mary  Hall  will  ultimately  become  united  to  Oriel  College,  and 
St.  Edmund  Hall  will  be  partially  united  to  Queen's  College.

ST.  MARY  HALL. 

This  Hall  was  originally  a  tenement  on  the  present  site,  given  by 
Henry  Kelpe,  a  citizen  of  Oxford,  in  1239,  to  the  Rector  of  St.  Mary's 
Church,  and  his  successors.  It  continued  to  be  the  Parsonage-house 
of  the  Rectors  till  Edward  II,  in  1325,  gave  the  Church  with  all  its 
appurtenances  to  Oriel  College.  It  was  converted  by  that  Society,  in 
1333,  into  a  separate  place  of  education,  and  subsequently  became  an 
independent  Academical  Hall,  receiving  successive  enlargement  and 
improvements  in  its  buildings,  principally  at  the  expense  of  former 
Principals,  King,  Nowell,  Dean,  and  Hampden. 

Thomas  Nowell,  D.D.,  formerly  Principal  of  the  Hall,  left,  by  Will, 
certain  shares  in  the  Oxford  Canal  Navigation,  for  founding  an  Exhi- 
bition at  the  Hall,  and  for  other  purposes  therein  mentioned.  The 
Exhibition  is  now  of  the  value  of  ^30  per  annum,  and  tenable  for 
four  years  from  Matriculation  ;  preference  being  given  first  to  kin  of 
the  Founder  or  of  his  Wife,  then  to  the  lawful  descendants  of  the 
Rev.  John  Rawbone  (sometime  Vice-Principal  of  St.  Mary  Hall)  by 
Jane  Mary  his  wife.

NEW  INN  HALL. 

This  Hall,  situate  on  the  west  side  of  the  North  Bailey,  was  for- 
merly known  by  the  name  of  Trilleck's  Inn,  from  the  circumstance  of 
its  belonging  to  John  Trilleck,  Bishop  of  Hereford.  Trilleck  dying 
intestate  in  1360,  it  became,  together  with  two  other  tenements  ad- 
joining, the  property  of  his  brother  Thomas,  who  six  years  after  (he 
being  then  Bishop  of  Rochester)  conveyed  them  to  Mr.  Hugh  Pern- 
bridge,  Mr.  Boger  Otterey,  and  Walter  Brown,  Bector  of  the  Church 
of  St.  Magnus,  in  London  ;  and  they  to  William  of  Wykehain,  Bishop 
of  Winchester.  William  of  Wykeham  gave  them,  Avith  three  gardens, 
adjoining  on  the  west  side,  also  a  messuage  called  Bose  Hall,  and  a 
garden  adjoining,  to  the  Warden  and  Fellows  of  New  College,  in  1392. 
The  first  Principal  on  record  occurs  in  1438. 

In  the  time  of  the  civil  war,  from  1642  to  1646,  this  Hall  was  used 
as  a  mint  for  Charles  I,  to  which  the  different  Colleges  and  Halls  sent 
their  plate  to  be  melted  down  for  His  Majesty's  use. 

It  was  restored  to  the  purposes  of  Academical  instruction  by  Dr. 
Cramer,  Principal,  afterwards  Dean  of  Carlisle,  wTho  erected,  at  his 
own  expense,  a  handsome  building,  with  suitable  offices,  for  the  recep- 
tion of  students.  A  Chapel  was  added  in  1868  by  Dr.  Cornish,  Prin- 
cipal from  1866  to  1887.

ST.  ALBAN  HALL. 


This  Hall  took  its  name  from  Robert  tie  St.  Alban,  a  citizen  of 
Oxford,  who  conveyed  the  tenement  to  the  nuns  at  Littlemore,  near 
I  >xford,  in  1230.  On  the  dissolution  of  Littlemore  nunnery,  it  was 
•rivi-ii  by  Henry  VIII.  to  George  Owen,  D.M.,  Physician  to  the  King, 
and  Fellow  of  Merton  College,  who  conveyed  it  to  Sir  John  Williams 
(afterwards  Lord  Williams  of  Thame)  and  Sir  John  Gresham.  By 
permission  of  Edward  VI.  they  assigned  it  over  to  John  Pollard  and 
Robert  Perrot,  Esqrs.,  in  1547,  by  whom  it  was  finally  transferred  to 
the  Warden  and  Fellows  of  Merton  College,  and  was  some  time  after 
established  as  an  Academical  Hall.

ST.  EDMUND  HALL. 


St.  Edmund  Hall  is  said  to  derive  its  name  from  St.  Edmund, 
Archbishop  of  Canterbury  in  the  reign  of  Henry  III. 

It  appears  to  have  been  purchased  in  the  year  12G9  by  the  Canons 
of  Osney,  and  soon  afterwards  devoted  by  them  to  the  purposes  of  Aca- 
demical instruction.  The  earliest  Principals  on  record  are  William 
Boys  and  John  de  Cornubia,  the  latter  of  whom  was  Principal  in  the 
year  1317.  After  the  dissolution  of  religious  houses,  it  was  granted  by 
Henry  VIII.  to  two  citizens  of  Oxford,  through  whom  it  came,  by 
purchase,  into  the  possession  of  William  Denyse  (sometimes  written 
Devenysh,  or  Dennyson),  Provost  of  Queen's  College.  It  was  by  him 
devised,  in  1557,  to  Queen's  College,  which  Society  procured,  a.d. 
1559,  an  Act  of  Congregation,  confirmed  by  the  Chancellor,  which 
vested  in  them  the  perpetual  right  of  nominating  the  Principal. 

In  1763,  George  Holme,  D.D.,  sometime  Fellow  of  Queen's  College, 
and  Eector  of  Hedleigh,  Hants,  bequeathed  the  sum  of  ,£1000  to  the 
University,  in  trust  to  apply  it,  with  accumulated  interest,  to  the  pur- 
chase of  the  AdvowTson  of  a  Living,  to  which  the  Principal  of  St.  Ed- 
mund Hall  should  be  presented.  In  1821  the  Advowson  of  Gatcombe 
was  purchased,  to  which  the  University  first  presented  in  1844. 

Members  of  this  Hall  are  admitted  to  any  of  the  Lectures  given  in 
Queen's  College.

PEIVATE  HALLS. 

A  Statute  passed  in  1882  (in  substitution  for  an  earlier  one  dating 
from  1855)  enacts  that  any  Member  of  Convocation  above  the  age  of 
twenty-eight  may,  under  certain  conditions,  obtain  from  the  \Tice- 
Chancellor,  with  the  consent  of  the  Hebdomadal  Council,  a  licence  to 
open  a  suitable  building  as  a  Private  Hall  for  the. reception  of  Aca- 
demical students  with  the  title  of  "  Licensed  Master,"  and  make  pro- 
vision for  the  proper  government  of  the  students  under  his  charge. 
They  are  subject  to  all  other  Statutes  of  the  University,  and  they 
partake  in  its  privileges,  and  are  admissible  to  its  degrees,  in  the  same 
way  as  other  students. 

The  Private  Halls  now  existing  are — 

CHABSLEY'S  HALL. 

"William  Henry  Charsley,  MA.,  Licensed  Master. 


TUEBELL'S  HALL. 

Henry  Joseph  Tuerell,  M.A.,  Licensed  Master. 


NON- COLLEGIATE   STUDENTS.  217 


STUDENTS  WHO  DO  NOT  BELONG  TO  ANY  COLLEGE 

OR  HALL \ 


In  the  year  1868  the  restrictions  of  an  ancient  Statute,  which  has 
been  already  mentioned,  were  removed  ;  and  persons  are  now  permitted, 
under  certain  conditions  prescribed  in  Statt.  Tit.  III.  Sect.  I.  and  IV, 
to  become  Students  and  Members  of  the  University  without  being 
members  of  any  College  or  Hall.  Such  persons  keep  their  statutable 
residence  in  houses  or  licensed  lodgings  within  the  limit  of  a  circle 
the  centre  of  which  is  Carfax,  and  the  radius  a  line  one  mile  and  a 
half  in  length  ;  they  enjoy  the  same  rights  of  profiting  by  Professors' 
lectures,  of  competing  for  University  Prizes,  of  attaining  distinction  in 
the  Public  Examinations,  and  of  being  admitted  to  degrees  and  to  all 
the  consequent  privileges,  as  are  enjoyed  by  other  students. 

The  reception  of  students  into  the  University  under  the  prescribed 
conditions,  and  the  exercise  of  discipline  over  them  during  their  resi- 
dence in  Oxford,  are  committed  to  a  Delegacy  consisting  of  the  Vice- 
Chancellor,  the  Proctors,  the  Controller  of  Lodging  Houses,  a  Censor, 
and  six  Members  of  Convocation  holding  office  for  six  years,  of  whom 
twTo  are  elected  by  Congregation,  two  by  the  Hebdomadal  Council,  and 
two  are  nominated  by  the  Vice-Chancellor  and  Proctors  subject  to  the 
approval  of  Convocation.  The  Censor,  who  is  nominated  by  the  Vice- 
Chancellor  and  Proctors  subject  to  the  approval  of  Convocation,  holds 
office  for  five  years. 

The  Students  are  under  the  supervision  of  the  Censor,  wrho  is  charged 
with  the  care  of  their  conduct  and  studies. 

There  are  also  Tutors  appointed  by  the  Delegates  to  give  instruction 
to  the  Students.

•21  S  AFFILIATED   COLLEGES. 


AFFILIATED  COLLEGES. 

By  a  Statute  of  the  University  passed  in  1880,  any  College  or  In- 
stitution within  the  United  Kingdom  or  in  any  part  of  the  British 
Dominions,  being  a  place  of  education  in  which  the  majority  of  the 

students  are  of  the  age  of  11  at  least,  may  on  certain  conditions  be 
admitted  to  the  privileges  of  an  Affiliated  College.  The  conditions  are 
in  eff!  et  as  follows  : — 

The  College  or  Institution  must  be  incorporated  by  Royal  Charter 
or  otherwise  established  on  a  permanent  and  efficient  footing  ;  it  must 
allow  the  University  to  be  represented  on  its  Governing  Body  and  to 
take  part  in  its  examinations;  it  must  have  been  admitted  to  the  pri- 
vileges of  an  Affiliated  College  by  a  vote  of  Convocation;  and  the 
connexion  between  it  and  the  University  must  be  terminable  at  the 
will  of  either  body. 

Any  member  of  an  Affiliated  College  who  bona  fide  intends  to  be 
matriculated  may  be  admitted  to  Besponsions  without  having  matricu- 
lated, and  if  he  has  completed  a  course  of  two  years  at  such  a  College 
may,  without  having  been  matriculated,  be  admitted  to  any  part  of  the 
first  public  examination,  or  to  any  preliminary  examination  in  the 
second  public  examination. 

Any  person  certified  by  the  Delegates  of  Local  Examinations  to  have 
completed  a  course  of  three  years  at  an  Affiliated  College,  and  to  have 
obtained  honours  at  its  second  or  final  examination,  may,  if  he  has 
passed  or  obtained  honours  in  the  first  public  examination  or  has  passed 
a  preliminary  examination  in  the  second  public  examination,  provided 
he  is  matriculated  not  later  than  the  Michaelmas  Term  next  following 
the  termination  of  his  course  at  the  Affiliated  College,  as  regards  all 
provisions  affecting  academical  standing,  reckon  the  Term  in  which 
he  was  matriculated  as  the  fifth  Term  from  his  matriculation. 

A  person  matriculated  under  the  last  preceding  clause  may  be  ad- 
mitted to  any  part  of  the  second  public  examination  if  he  has  passed 
Responsions  or  one  of  the  examinations  exempting  from  Responsions,  or 
has  passed  or  obtained  classical  honours  in  the  first  public  examination, 
or  has  passed  a  preliminary  examination  having  satisfied  the  Examiners 
in  a  Greek  book,  and  has  also  passed  the  examination  in  Holy  Scripture 
or  a  book  offered  instead  thereof. 

If  further  such  a  person  obtains  honours  at  the  First  or  Second  Public- 
Examination,  he  maybe  admitted  B.  A.  after  eight  Terms  of  academical 
residence,  provided  he  has  then  passed  Iris  Final  Examination. 

The  effect  of  this  Statute  is  to  reduce  the  period  of  necessary  aca- 
demical residence  for  a  person  coming  from  an  Affiliated  College  from 
three  to  two  years. 

The  institutions  at  present  admitted  to  these  privileges  are — 

1880  June  1.     St.  David's  College,  Lampeter. 
1882  June  15.  University  College,  Nottingham. 
1886  June  29.  Firth  College,  Sheffield. 


COLONIAL  AND   INDIAN   UNIVERSITIES.  219 


OF  COLONIAL  AND  INDIAN  UNIVERSITIES. 

By  a  Statute  of  the  University  passed  in  1887  any  University  situ- 
ated in  any  part  of  the  United  Kingdom  other  than  Great  Britain  may 
apply  to  he  admitted  to  the  privileges  thereby  conferred. 

The  application  is  to  be  addressed  to  the  Vice-Chancellor,  by  whom 
it  is  reported  to  the  Hebdomadal  Council.  The  Council  may,  if  it 
think  fit,  thereupon  propose  to  Convocation  that  the  University  so 
applying  be  admitted  to  the  privileges  above  referred  to. 

When  a  University,  has  been  thus  admitted,  any  person  who  has 
pursued  during  two  full  years  the  course  of  study  prescribed  by  such 
University,  and  has  passed  all  the  examinations  prescribed  by  it  in 
connexion  with  that  course,  may,  without  having  been  previously  ma- 
triculated, be  admitted  to  the  first  public  examination  or  to  any  pre- 
liminary examination  in  this  University  ;  and  any  such  person  may  on 
passing  or  obtaining  honours  in  the  first  public  examination  or  on 
passing  a  preliminary  examination  in  the  second  public  examination, 
provided  he  matriculates  not  later  than  Michaelmas  Term  next  fol- 
lowing, as  regards  all  provisions  affecting  academical  standing  reckon 
the  Term  in  which  he  matriculates  as  the  fifth  Term  from  his  matri- 
culation. 

A  person  so  matriculated  may  be  admitted  to  any  part  of  the  second 
public  examination  if  he  has  passed  Responsions  or  one  of  the  examina- 
tions exempting  therefrom,  or  has  passed  or  obtained  classical  honours* 
in  the  first  public  examination,  or  has  passed  a  preliminary  examination 
having  satisfied  the  Examiners  in  a  Greek  book,  and  has  also  passed 
the  examination  in  Holy  Scripture  or  in  a  book  offered  instead  thereof. 

If  further  he  obtains  honours  at  the  first  or  second  public  exami- 
nation, he  may  be  admitted  B.A.  after  eight  Terms  of  academical  resi- 
dence, provided  he  has  then  passed  his  final  examination. 

Every  person  offering  himself  under  this  Statute  for  the  First  Public 
Examination  must  produce  a  certificate  under  the  seal  of  a  University 
admitted  to  these  privileges  or  under  the  hand  and  seal  of  the  Chan- 
cellor or  Vice-Chancellor  thereof. 

No  person  already  matriculated  here  can  be  admitted  to  the  First 
Public  Examination  under  the  provisions  of  this  Statute.
