12. I give the sum of £100,000 ... to my old college Oriel College in the
University of Oxford ... and I direct that the sum of £40,000 part of the
said sum of £100,000 shall be applied in the first place in the erection
of (the said) new College buildings and that the remainder of such sum of
£40,000 shall be held as a fund by the income whereof the aforesaid loss
to the College[10] revenue shall so far as possible be made good.
And ... I direct that the sum of £40,000 further part of the said sum of
£100,000 shall be held as a fund by the income whereof the income of such
of the resident Fellows of the College as work for the honour and dignity
of the College shall be increased.
And I further direct that the sum of £10,000 ... shall be held as a fund
by the income whereof the dignity and comfort of the High Table[11] may
be maintained by which means the dignity and comfort of the resident
Fellows may be increased.
And I further direct that the sum of £10,000 ... shall be held as a
repair fund the income whereof shall be expended in maintaining and
repairing the College buildings.
