David Wilmot (January 20, 1814March 16, 1868) was a U.S. politician; he was elected to the U.S. Congress, serving 1845–1851, and to the U.S. Senate, serving 1861–1863 to fill the remainder of a term.
 Wilmot was a Democrat, a Free Soiler, and a Republican.
 He was a sponsor and eponym of the Wilmot Proviso (1846), intended to ban slavery in western lands gained from Mexico in the Mexican–American War of 1846–1848.
 The proposal repeatedly passed the House of Representatives, but was defeated in the Senate, and never became law.
 However, it caused great anger and consternation in the South, and increased the prominence of the slavery issue on the national stage.
The University of Divinity is an Australian collegiate university of specialisation in divinity.

The title of third-oldest university in England is claimed by three institutions: Durham University as the third oldest officially recognised university (1832) and the third to confer degrees (1837), the University of London as the third university to be granted a Royal Charter (1836), and University College London as it was founded as "London University" (1826) and was the third oldest university institution to start teaching (1828).
 A fourth institution, King's College London, officially claims to be the fourth oldest university in England but is claimed by some students to be the third oldest as the third university institution to receive a Royal Charter (1829).
 Deciding which is truly the "third oldest university" depends largely on the definition of university status and how this is applied historically.
