These rules and regulations provide as follows: [90] 1. There shall be twenty collegiates, "who must be the sons, grandsons, or descendants of deserving persons who have served his Majesty in these islands. The sons of the auditors of this royal Audiencia, living or dead, and those of the royal official judges, and those of all the war officers, great and small, shall always have the preference; and in default of them, any others of these islands, who possess the necessary qualifications. Said collegiates shall be in the charge and under the care of the father rector, present or future, of the said college; and no one shall enter the college or be received therein unless he shall have presented a government provision therefor to the said father rector." 2. The college servants shall be of influential Pampango families, and they shall be taught "to read and write, and the Spanish language," and shall be given clerkships if they show aptitude therefor. 3. The collegiates must be of pure race and have no mixture of Moorish or Jewish blood, to the fourth degree, and shall have no negro or Bengal blood, or that of any similar nation, in their veins, or a fourth part of Filipino blood. 4. The royal arms shall be placed above the principal door of the college, and surrounding those arms the Latin words: Collegium regale divi Philippi [Royal college of San Felipe]. 5. The outside clothing worn by the collegiates shall be a gown of blue and black silk, and a beca of purple velvet, and on the left side an escutcheon with the arms of Castilla and Leon with the royal crown above, and below, the fleece whence protrudes the cross of Alcantara, edged at the points with gold. The sleeves and bonnet shall be black. In the house they shall wear a garment of the same silk and color in place of the gown.
