1 gen 1868 anni - Oxford's Balliol College

Descrizione:

Balliol has existed as a community of scholars on its present Broad Street site without interruption since about 1263. By this token it claims to be the oldest college in Oxford, and in the English-speaking world. Gerard Manley Hopkins studied classics here. He began his time in Oxford as a keen socialite and prolific poet, but he seems to have alarmed himself with the changes in his behavior that resulted ("History Balliol"; "Gerard Manley").
