Synopsis

Excerpt from S. John Baptist College During nearly the whole of their existence, until the changes which resulted from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge Act 1877, the Colleges of Oxford have been so closely bound to the Church of England that the study of their life may properly be regarded as a part of ecclesiastical history. A great experiment in education, one of the chiefest works of the Church, they have undergone many changes and modifications, internally and from without, as the currents of doctrine and feeling have ebbed and flowed. In their social life, as in the way in which they have responded to the intellectual ideal they represented, they serve as examples, sometimes painful ones, of the way in which the Church has carried out her mission. Times of energy and sloth, of decay and revival, are represented in them as in the Church at large. They are often a picture in little of the wider body to which they belong. A College which like S. John's was founded at the very crisis of the reforming movement in England deserves the special attention of the student of Church history; and it is for this reason that I have not hesitated to turn aside for a while from the investigation of the English Reformation which occupies such leisure as I can obtain, and to put together notes which I have made from time to time on the history of the College to which it is my happy privilege to belong.
