"DIanners nIakyth Man.-

William of Wykebam, u fourteenth CEN
fury bishop of tho sec of Winchester. was
not only great clergyman ana a great
statesman, but one Of the greatest builders
of the middle ages. Ho was the founder
of Winchester college, which is tho oldest
of all tho English public schools. Ho was
the chief architect of the cathedral of Win
chester, and when tho king wanted new
wing oil his castle at Windsor he ordered
Wykcham to build it. Wykehum was so
proud of his work that he chiseled ON it,
Hoe fccit Wylioham" (Wykeham made
this) At this the king was very angry,
for no thought he Ind built tho castle him
self, and Wykcham would perhaps have
lost his head if he had not Kept his wits
about him. He explained that it was his
greatest glory to be tho builder of his
kings palace, and that tho inscription
should read "This was tho making of
Wykoham." The translation was clever
enough, and, though the king was proba-
bly, not deceived, Wykehnm kept his head
on his shoulders Perhaps the king would
havo been sorry to loso so valuable n man.
