colleges and the colleges became more important to the life of the University than the central
administration.&nbspOxford as long ago as 1096 had students coming to study, usually novices
heading for&nbspmonasteries or the priesthood. Starting in 1167, when Henry II prohibited
students going to Paris to study, Oxford began its relentless growth, stopping only&nbspduring
the reigns&nbspof Henry VIII, who dissolved the monastic colleges, and Charles I, who depleted
the assets of all the colleges to pay for his defense against the Parliamentary army. The number
of students spurted in the 20th century, especially afterstrong strongthe Second World War when
the British Government wisely invested in educating the armed-services war survivors and
strengthened university programs to develop needed new professional&nbspspecialties and
skills.New graduate (also called&nbsp 8220 postgraduate 8221 ) programs and departments were
created independent of the colleges, strengthening the central University administration.Students
and faculty tied primarily to departments missed the intimacy and brand affiliation of being
attached to a college.Existing colleges expanded significantly in size, establishing new buildings
inside and outside their existing space.Several new colleges were created, including two as
adjuncts of the University (St Cross for graduates in the sciences and Kellogg for continuing
education).Permanent Private Halls were encouraged to consider becoming independent
colleges. The PPHs&nbspwere all (like the ancient colleges) religious in origin. Six remain, but
some&nbspexpanded their size and reduced their formal affiliations with religious denominations
and were promoted to college status.Students and faculty must apply to a college or hall, and
nowadays they almost always live in one. That means they need a quick link to identifying each
college. The coats of arms&nbspand emOxford College
Armsem&nbsphelp&nbspdifferentiate&nbspamong the colleges, going beyond the physical
buildings and grounds to their spiritual legacies.
