IOlNDlNG OF The COLLEdhs
The University Of Dublin has been called
the 'ripe and permanent producer OF
Queen Elizabeth's reign. Toward the close
of the sixteenth century Sir John Perrot,
Lord Deputy of Ireland suggested to the
Virgin Queen the establishment of college
In Dublin. He pointed out that there ex-
listed In that city piece Of ground wherein
formerly stood the priory of the Arosssisn
canons, founded in ll66 by Dermot Nc
Morrough, King of Leinster, and which
HOnOrious III. had sanctioned Henry de
Londres. rchbshop of Dublin, to establish
When Henry VIII shut up the monster
les this priory was deserted. 1t subse-
Quenty fell into ruin, and was conveyed
10 the corporation OF Dublin by royal grant.
v hen Sir John Perrot mooted his scheme
the loyal corporation, in order to express
their appreciation of his efforts and the
queens interest In the matter, handed over
the ground free az a sight for the college.
Then the illustrious Henry Usher, arch
bishop OF Armagh, went through the form
Of soliciting the royal charter, which was
granted, together with q license OF mort
main, to enable the college TO hold the lands
ia perpetuity (''of the yearly value of
E20'') and TO found the university ''by way
Of corporation, with power to accept lands
and contributions from voluntary donors
to the yearly value Of 940O.

Holy and Undivided Trinity. the first
stone being laid on March "A. 1891 On
January g 1898, the first students were ad-

provost and three fellows sin the name

and confer degrees. Archbishop LOTUS,
Of Dublin, was the first provost. The great
Lord Burleigh was the first chancellor

the bishop Of Meath, the treasurer Of war,
the chief justice and the mayor OF Dublin.
These had power TO settle difficulties which
the provost and fellows could not COMPOSE
The property OF the college was declared
exempt from all public burdens. Lord
Deputy Fitzwilliam, who succeeded Perrot
as viceroy, set s public subscription on
foot, but IL was not very enthusiastically
responded to.
PARLIAMENTARY REPRESENTATIVES,.
In 1914 Trinity college began TO send two
representatives 10 the Irish parliament, a
scheme which originated in the brain OF
games l., who thereby sought 10 obtain a
borough interest in Irish politics. From
hence dates the first attempt TO make po-
litical capital out Of the university SIS an
institution OF learning. This innovation
vas received at the time with considerable
hostile criticism, on the ground that col
