context_page_description: Jesus College is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in England. Its alumni include politicians, lawyers, bishops, poets, and academics. Some went on to become fellows of the college; 14 students later became principal of the college. It was founded in 1571 by Queen Elizabeth I, at the request of a Welsh clergyman, Hugh Price, who was Treasurer of St David's Cathedral in Pembrokeshire. The college still has strong links with Wales, and about 15% of students are Welsh. There are 340 undergraduates and 190 students carrying out postgraduate studies. Old members of Jesus College are sometimes known as "Jesubites".
  From the world of politics, the college's alumni include two Prime Ministers, one Speaker of the House of Commons, a co-founder of Plaid Cymru and a co-founder of the African National Congress. Members of Parliament from the three main political parties in the United Kingdom have attended the college, as have politicians from Australia, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and the United States. The list of lawyers include one Lord Chancellor and one Law Lord. The list of clergy includes three Archbishops of Wales.
