context_page_description: The Governing Body of Jesus College, Oxford, has the ability to elect "distinguished persons" to Honorary Fellowships. Under the statutes of the college, Honorary Fellows cannot vote at meetings of the Governing Body and do not receive financial reward. They can be called upon to help decide whether to dismiss or discipline members of academic staff.
  The first three Honorary Fellows, all former students of the college, were elected in October 1877: John Rhys, the first Jesus Professor of Celtic who was later an Official Fellow and Principal; the historian John Richard Green; and the poet Lewis Morris. Three other former Principals have been elected Honorary Fellows on retirement. Many Honorary Fellows had previous academic connections with the college, either as Fellows or Old Members, but others did not. Some of those without previous connections were distinguished Welshmen – Jesus College has had strong links with Wales since its establishment in 1571. For example, the Welsh businessman Sir Alfred Jones was elected in 1902, the Welsh judge Sir Samuel Evans was elected in 1918, and the Welsh opera singer Bryn Terfel was elected in 2008.
context_section_description: The abbreviations used in the "Link" column denote the person's connection with the college before election as an Honorary Fellow:
  CL – A college lecturer: Joliffe taught students at Jesus College, but he was not one of the Fellows
  F – A former Fellow of the college, included on the list of Principals and Fellows
  OM – Old Member of the college, included on the list of alumni
  P – Principal, also included on the list of Principals and Fellows
  A dash denotes that the person had no previous academic link with the college.
