[377] Eton--Cambridge and Oxford--3 each; Oxford had 3 from Winchester, all the rest coming from the lesser public schools, Haileybury (3), and church schools such as Radley. [378] A very interesting symptom is the recent election of an American fellow at Trinity and Christ’s Colleges. [379] In the time of Caius the number of students was 1783 (see p. 217 _n._). Trinity held 359 of these, John’s 271, Christ’s 157, King’s 140, Clare 129, [Sidenote: A.D. 1573.] Queens’ 122. Magdalene and S. Catherine’s were the smallest with 49 and 32 respectively. The remaining 6 colleges held between 62 and 96 students each, except Jesus which had a population of 118. A hundred [Sidenote: A.D. 1672.] years after Caius the numbers were 2522. 3000 is about the maximum at either university since the xiii c. At Cambridge the undergraduate population at the present date (October 1906) exceeds 3200, with over 350 resident bachelors, and about 650 _M.A.’s_ and doctors, 400 of whom are fellows. Cf. with the figures given on p. 206. A man may keep his name on the boards of his college by a payment varying from £2 to £4 a year. The number of men “on the boards” of the university includes all those on the boards of their colleges and has grown in 150 years from 1500 (in 1748) to 13,819 in 1906-7. [380] Those marked with an asterisk are included principally for their influence on education. [381] _Or_ Walter de Merton. [382] Raleigh was entered as a boy for Oriel College but never resided there. [383] Gladstone was by race a pure Scotsman, but was English by birth and breeding. [384] Miss Nightingale is taken as a representative of the work of Howard, Clarkson, Shaftesbury, Hannah More, Mrs. Fry, and others of the same noble army among whom she is perhaps typical for the English adventuresome and pioneer spirit. It would not be possible to choose 40 great Englishmen whom every one should agree to be among the 40 greatest, or the best types in the lines indicated. Some great English names--as e.g. Simon de Montfort--do not appear for the same reason which excludes William the Conqueror, viz. that they were not Englishmen.
