FOUNDERS AND BENEFACTORS OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE.

(Continuedfr�m Vol. XIV. pag' 218.)

�H E present Catalogue of Founders, &c., whilst _ arranged in approximately chronological order, " has yet its groups of benefactions of similar character. The wants and fashions of each age are reflected in the predominating type of its gifts and endowments. The half century which fo llowed the Foundation of the College, and the erection of the buildings necessary for its existence, witnessed chiefly the endowment of additional Fellowships and Scholarships-a large and important acquisition of what were called Bye­ Foundations. The Second Court and the Library are monuments not only of the bounty of the Countess of Shrewsbury and of Bp. Williams, but also of the growth of the College during the 16th century. Gifts of books were frequent after the completion of the Library. The Third Court co mmemorates the Restoration of the Monarchy, the zeal of Bp. Gunning and other Royalist members of the College, and at the same time marks a period when a change in habits and manners was taking place, so that men were no longer co ntent to be herded to gether in the same apartment 50 thickly as heretofore.
