The High Episcopal Church
The King's College of Our Lady and St Nicholas in Cambridge was founded
in 1441 by King Henry VI and munificently endowed. The Founder's
statutes provided for a Provost and seventy poor scholars. Scholarships
were restricted to Etonians, but a few pensioners and Fellow commoners
from other schools were admitted from the middle of the sixteenth
century. By the statutes of 1861 open scholarships, financed by the
Fellows greatly reducing their dividends for many years, were founded,
and since then pensioners and scholars from other schools have been
admitted in increasing numbers. Until 1853 students at King's were
exceptional in being awarded University degrees by the College.
Speaking of time honored traditions, this is one I heard back in '02 for the first time. It's a shame Latin is no longer taught in schools. Enjoy my friends and Merry Christmas!!
