Vives was the first Professor of Humanity (or Latin) at Corpus Christi, the first of the Renaissance colleges. His special function it was to banish all " barbarism " from the " bee-hive, " as the founder fondly- called his college, by lecturing daily on the Classics. Tradition says that the professor was welcomed to his new home by a swarm of bees, which, to signify the incomparable sweetness of his eloquence, settled under the leads of his chambers.
The founder of C. C. C. , Richard Foxe, Bis...hop of Winchester, was a prelate, statesman, architect, soldier, herald and diplomatist, who, in the very encyclopaedic nature of his talents, was a typical product of the Renais- sance. He had been Bishop of Exeter, of Bath and Wells and of Durham before he was translated to Winchester ; he had been Keeper of the Privy Seal and Secretary of State, and had played an important part in the history of his country ; he had been Chancellor of Cam- bridge and Master of Pembroke College there ; but it was chiefly upon Oxford that he lavished the wealth he had acquired.
