The large, square Magdalen Tower is an Oxford landmark, and it is a tradition, dating to the days of Henry VII, that the college choir sings from the top of it at 6 a.m. on May Morning. ==History== Magdalen College was founded in 1458 by William of Waynflete, Bishop of Winchester. The founder's statutes included provision for a choral foundation of men and boys (a tradition that has continued to the present day) and made reference to the pronunciation of the name of the College in English. The college received another substantial endowment from the estate of Sir John Fastolf of Caister Castle in Norfolk (1380–1459). Another unrelated college named Magdalen Hall adjacent to Magdalen College eventually became part of Hertford College. Magdalen's prominence since the mid-20th century owes much to such famous Fellows as C.S. Lewis and A.J.P. Taylor, and its academic success to the work of such dons as Thomas Dewar Weldon.〔R.W. Johnson, ''Look Back in Laughter: Oxford's Postwar Golden Age'', Threshold Press, 2015.〕 In 2015, Magdalen has topped Oxford's Norrington table of college undergraduate examination results. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Magdalen College, Oxford」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
