The Bulletin  

“MAN ON THE LAND" FEATURE —PAGE 30  

“The Bulletin,” Vol. 75—No. 3903  

Wednesday, December 1, 1954  

Price 9d.  

Registered at the General Post Office, Sydney, N.S.W., Australia, for transmission by Post as Newspaper  

Seppelts  

pHE colleges and the churches of  

-*■ Oxford, together with few domestic  

buildings, provide magnificent record of  

architectural development in England from  

Saxon times. Here may be seen the main  

characteristics of the various styles from  

Norman to Perpendicular which were  

gradually evolved from the eleventh  

to the sixteenth century, lingering well  

into the seventeenth, long after the  

Renaissance had destroyed the last traces  

of the Gothic spirit on the Continent of  

Europe.  

The largest and richest of the  

University’s twenty-eight colleges is Christ  

Church, usually known as “The House.”  

It was founded in 1525 by Cardinal  

Wolsey and at that time bore the name of  

Cardinal College. In 1532, however, it  

was taken over by Henry VIII and  

established in 1546 as Christ Church.  

The enormous kitchen remains in  

appearance very much as it did in Wolsey’s  

time, except fot the addition of modern  

culinary contrivances. Nearby is the  

magnificent Hall with its finely carved  

oak-beam roof, shown in the accom-  

panying illustration. The spacious Hall,  

part of which was completed by Wolsey,  

was the scene of many royal banquets in  

the reigns of Henry VIII and of Charles I.  

It is renowned not only for being the  

largest and finest of its kind in Oxford, but  

also for its valuable collection of famous  

pictures by such artists as Reynolds, Lely,  

Romney and Millais. Here can be seen  

portraits of John Wesley, Gladstone and  

of Charles Dodgson, better known as  

Lewis Carroll —the author of “Alice in  

Wonderland.” He was clergyman and,  

as resident member of an Oxford  

College, he lectured on mathematics.  

Besides being the author of the most  

humorous and delightful children’s book  

ever produced, he wrote, strangely  

enough, numerous works on mathematics.  

Queen Victoria was so delighted with  

“Alice in Wonderland” that she requested  

future works by the same author should  

be sent to her. The next publication to  

appear was “The Condensation of Deter-  

minants”—the Queen’s comments are not  

recorded!  

Cardinal Wolsey, who is so intimately  

associated with Christ Church College, is  

commemorated by statue which stands  

over the main entrance. Surmounting  

the ornate gateway, completed by Sir  

Christopher Wren in 1682, is Tom Tower  

in which hangs the famous 7-ton bell,  

Great Tom. Every night at five minutes  

past nine its mellow tones give the signal  

for the closing of college gates throughout  

Oxford.  

FOUNDED BY WOLSEY, “THE HOUSE” IS AN OXFORD GEM
