Fix this textQUEEN'S OF OXFORD, FAMOUS COLLEGE OF THEOLOGY
Fix this textDURING the Middle Ages the growth of Oxford was influenced by the
Fix this textcoming of the Friars, whose store of learning and religious teaching
Fix this textattracted students from far and wide. During the reign of King John (1199-
Fix this text1216) the students at Oxford numbered three thousand. It was from these
Fix this textearly beginnings that England’s great university city developed and, as might
Fix this textbe expected in a place where development had been so gradual, the architec-
Fix this texttural styles of its ancient buildings cover every period from Saxon times.
Fix this textToday the University comprises twenty-four colleges for men and four for
Fix this textwomen. ,

Fix this textafter whom the College is named. Nothing now remains of the medieval
Fix this textbuildings which were replaced during the years 1692-1716. The quadrangle
Fix this textfacing “The High” is in the dignified Palladian style, designed mainly by the
Fix this textarchitect Nicholas Hawksmoor (1661-1736) who, at the age of 18, became
Fix this textthe pupil and domestic clerk of Sir Christopher Wren who, himself, designed
Fix this textthe handsome Chapel and Hall at Queen’s.
Fix this textThe first formal arrangement in Oxford for the education ot under-
Fix this textgraduates started at Queen’s; the founder provided for a provost and twelve
Fix this textfellows and seventy “poor boys” as disciples for the study of theology.
Fix this textEglesfield, the founder, was a Cumberland man, and ever since his day there
Fix this texthas been a close connection between the College and the north country.
Fix this textIn the library and common-room are portraits of Henry V, who is
Fix this textreputed to have lodged at Queen’s. Joseph Addison was a famous member
Fix this textof the College.
Fix this textSeveral quaint customs are still observed at Queen’s; the college is
Fix this textsummoned to dinner by the sound of a trumpet, and on Christmas Day, each
Fix this textyear, occurs the Boar’s Head Ceremony, which dates back to the early 16th
Fix this textcentury. The boar’s head is carried in procession with pomp and ceremony
Fix this textto the High Table while an ancient carol is sung:
Fix this text“The boar’s head in hand bear I,
Fix this textBedecked with bays and rosemary”....
