4. A society of scholars incorporated within, or in connection with, a University, or otherwise formed for purposes of study or instruction:

Thesaurus »

Categories »

a. esp. An independent self-governing corporation or society (usually founded for the maintenance of poor students) in a University, as the College of the Sorbonne in the ancient University of Paris, and the ancient colleges of Oxford and Cambridge.

b. A foundation of the same kind, outside a University. (Often combining, in its original character, the functions of a local charity for the aged and of eleemosynary education for the young.)Such a college normally consists of a master (rector, provost, warden, etc.) fellows and scholars. It now usually admits students not on the foundation who pay to enjoy the advantages of common life and supervision with the scholars of the foundation, during their university or school course.In the English Universities, the name college was apparently not originally given to the foundations of the Earliest Period (e.g. Merton, Balliol), but was introduced with the new foundations of the Second Period (typified by New College, Oxf.), which were really colleges of clergy, in sense 3, but with special aims in connection with study. With the introduction of these ‘colleges’ into the university system, the name spread from them to the older non-clerical foundations, and was taken in turn by those of the Third Period, the colleges of the Renaissance.Of the foundations under 4b, some (as those of Winchester and Eton) were originally associated with colleges in a university, others (as Gresham College, London, Dulwich College) had no such relations. When the education of the young was the object in view, such colleges have, in England, usually developed into great public schools.

Cambr. I. Introd. 14 A college, in its primitive form, is a foundation erected and endowed by private munificence, solely for the lodging and maintenance of deserving students, whose lack of means rendered them unable to pursue the University course without some extraneous assistance.

c. From the fact that in some Universities only a single college was founded or survived, in which case the university and college became co-extensive, the name has come, as in Scotland and the United States, to be interchangeable with ‘university’; ‘a college with university functions’.In U.S. ‘college’ has been the general term, and is still usually applied to a small university (or degree-giving educational institution) having a single curriculum of study, the name ‘university’ being given chiefly to a few of the larger institutions, which in their organization, and division into various faculties, more resemble the universities of Europe.

The Royal Naval Academy at Portsmouth was reconstituted as the Royal Naval College in 1806; and in 1805 was founded the East India College, Herts, to prepare for the service of the East India Company.

A society of scholars incorporated within, or in connection with, a University, or otherwise formed for purposes of study or instruction: Thesaurus » Categories » a. esp. An independent self-governing corporation or society (usually founded for the maintenance of poor students) in a University, as the College of the Sorbonne in the ancient University of Paris, and the ancient colleges of Oxford and Cambridge. b. A foundation of the same kind, outside a University. (Often combining, in its original character, the functions of a local charity for the aged and of eleemosynary education for the young.)Such a college normally consists of a master (rector, provost, warden, etc.) fellows and scholars. It now usually admits students not on the foundation who pay to enjoy the advantages of common life and supervision with the scholars of the foundation, during their university or school course.In the English Universities, the name college was apparently not originally given to the foundations of the Earliest Period (e.g. Merton, Balliol), but was introduced with the new foundations of the Second Period (typified by New College, Oxf.), which were really colleges of clergy, in sense 3, but with special aims in connection with study. With the introduction of these ‘colleges’ into the university system, the name spread from them to the older non-clerical foundations, and was taken in turn by those of the Third Period, the colleges of the Renaissance.Of the foundations under 4b, some (as those of Winchester and Eton) were originally associated with colleges in a university, others (as Gresham College, London, Dulwich College) had no such relations. When the education of the young was the object in view, such colleges have, in England, usually developed into great public schools.

Introd. 14 A college, in its primitive form, is a foundation erected and endowed by private munificence, solely for the lodging and maintenance of deserving students, whose lack of means rendered them unable to pursue the University course without some extraneous assistance. c. From the fact that in some Universities only a single college was founded or survived, in which case the university and college became co-extensive, the name has come, as in Scotland and the United States, to be interchangeable with ‘university’; ‘a college with university functions’.In U.S. ‘college’ has been the general term, and is still usually applied to a small university (or degree-giving educational institution) having a single curriculum of study, the name ‘university’ being given chiefly to a few of the larger institutions, which in their organization, and division into various faculties, more resemble the universities of Europe.
