Wadham College, Oxford, Its Foundation, Architecture and History e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Colleges, wadham is in many respects a typical specimen. Its buildings were completed at once, and have suffered less change than any other; its records are perhaps more complete; and its comparatively modern date, on the border line between the middle ages and our own, makes a closer acquaintance possible with the Founders and earlier members of the Society. The buildings remain as the Foundres's left them; the building accounts show not only every penny spent on the fabric, but the name of every workman who laboured upon it; the records and minutes go back to the first meeting of the Society; and the Registers - thanks to the industry of Mr. Gardiner, formerly a Scholar of the House - will soon be complete from the foundation to our own day.
