He borrowed from the monastic institutions the idea of an aggregate body living by common rule, under a common head, provided with all things needful for a corporate and perpetual life, fed by its secured endowments, fenced from all external interference,...
עמוד 14 - His conception was that of an incorporated body of secular students, endowed with all the attributes of the great corporations of Regulars — selfsupport, self-government, self-replenishment, — settled locally in connection with a great seat of study, acquiring a share of that influence in the University which the establishment of powerful monasteries within its bounds had almost monopolised in the hands of the Regulars, and wielding that influence for the benefit of the Church in the advancement...
עמוד 22 - The proofs of the founder's design to benefit the Church through a better-educated secular priesthood are to be found, not in the letter of the Statutes, but in the tenor of their provisions, especially as to studies, in the direct averments of some of the subsidiary documents, in the fact of his providing Church patronage as part of his system, and in the readiness of prelates and chapters to grant him impropriations of the rectorial endowments of the Church.
עמוד 22 - Study being the function of the inmates of his house, their time was not to be taken up by ritual or ceremonial duties, for which special chaplains were appointed ; neither was it to be bestowed on any handicrafts, as in some monastic orders. Voluntary poverty was not enjoined, though poor circumstances were a qualification for a fellowship. No austerity was required, though contentment with simple fare was enforced as a duty, and the system of enlarging the number of inmates according to the means...
עמוד 17 - Peter' s-in-the-East, with a view to its impropriation. This gift, when completed by the act of impropriation following the death of the last rector, Bogo de St. Clare, the king's uncle, in 1284, placed the college in possession of the whole parish of Holywell, and of the tithes of Wolvercot. In this year, too, he bought of Jacob, son of Mosey, a London Jew, another house, fronting the street of St. John Bapt. Had the founder not already succeeded in acquiring an ample footing by this time within...
עמוד 39 - ... uses, under sufficient pledge : that the seal be kept under five locks, and not used without the presence of five persons,' — the Warden, the Senior Fellow, and the three Bursars. ' He assigns to the three deans the duty of determining who and how many scholars are to live in each chamber ; he gives them four marks per annum, and the bursars the same, in addition to the fifty...
עמוד 32 - in emundationem curia? sure," as it does now ; then it must have turned towards the north-east corner of Merton gardens, and passed through the city wall, where there is still an underground arch, and so to the college. The level of the great quadrangle has been raised artificially eight or ten feet, and probably most of the garden has gained in height. which bears the date Jan. 1267. This document strangely gainsays its own date by declaring the decease of Hen. III., which took place in 1272, and...
עמוד 9 - ... the foundation of the college. 1. That the charter of incorporation with the first body of statutes was obtained in 1264. (In Rot. Cartar. 48th Henry III., m. 2.) 2. That this foundation was the development of a previous one of unknown date. 3. That the Society was established in the manor of Maiden, but in connection with the University of Oxford.

עמוד 39 - ... fellow, as his statutable allowance. He requires that every fellow shall leave his books to the college at death, or on entering a religious order.
