[124] Cf. Merton’s “Oxoniae, vel alibi ubi _studium vigere_ contigerit” (1264), and the words in Alan Bassett’s bequest for monastic scholars at Oxford or elsewhere _ubi studium fuerit universitatis_ (1233). [125] See also p. 86 footnote. [126] The proportion of priests among the fellows (_i.e._ scholars on the foundation) was to be 6 in 30, 4 in 20, 2 in 12. See also pp. 152 and 153. [127] Cf. King’s Hall, p. 132. [128] The xv c. library at Pembroke was over the hall; the older library of the same date at Peterhouse was next the hall. [129] The earliest of these features appears at Pembroke, which had a treasury. For the combination room see p. 135 and iv. p. 214. For the gateway, p. 140. For students’ studies, iv. p. 232 _n._ [130] Cf. Peterhouse p. 56. The Christian church evolved in Rome no doubt originated in the domestic _aula_, the basilica, of a great private house, and was surrounded by those dwelling-rooms which constituted the first _titulus_ or _domus ecclesiae_. So at Cambridge we have a _domus collegii_, and _domus vel aula scholarium_ sancti Michaelis or Clarae. [131] After the founder’s death two rectors were to exercise complete jurisdiction, one of these was to be a secular graduate but the other is to be a Franciscan. Moreover the fellows of the college were “to give their best counsel and aid” to the abbess and sisters of Denney abbey who had from the founder “a common origin with them.” For Denney, see i. p. 25, 25 _n._ [132] _Notabile et insigne et quam pretiosum collegium quod inter omnia loca universitatis ... mirabiliter splendet et semper resplenduit._ [133] Spenser entered as a sizar. [134] Gray left Peterhouse on account of some horseplay on the part of its students who raised a cry of fire which brought him out of bed and down from his window overlooking Little S. Mary’s church in an escape which his dread of fire had induced him to contrive. Of his treatment at Pembroke he writes that it was such as might have been extended to “Mary de Valence in person.” [135] Pitt in introducing his son to the college writes: “Such as he is, I am happy to place him at Pembroke; and I need not say how much of his parents’ hearts goes along with him.” (Letter to the Senior tutor of the college, 1767.) [136] He was afterwards fellow of Trinity Hall, and Spenser dedicates one of the Eclogues to him there. [137] See Trinity Hall, p. 80. [138] The asterisks denote Masters of the College. Whitgift migrated from Queens’ to Pembroke, and was subsequently fellow of Peterhouse and Master of Pembroke. Langton of Winchester was a fellow. [139] pp. 27 and 96. [140] v. p. 275.
