The college is set in an landscaped site in Opoho on the opposite side of the Dunedin Botanic Gardens from the University. The site is shared with Salmond College, which was originally set up as complementary accommodation for female students. Although the institutions are run autonomously, they were until recently governed by a joint body, The Council of Knox College and Salmond College. ==Function== Knox College was established in 1909 to provide residential accommodation for male students and to house an existing seminary for Presbyterian ministers. It became co-educational in 1983 and also houses the Knox Centre for Ministry and Leadership and the Archives Research Centre, under the Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa New Zealand. The principal buildings were designed by W. Gray Young when he was only 21.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=William Gray Young )〕 Knox seeks to recreate some of the feeling of an Oxford or Cambridge college and much of its institutional terminology originated in these universities: recalcitrant students are "sent down"; there is a "Master" and there are "Fellows". However, roles may be distributed in a different manner to the British model; responsibility for security outside of office-hours lies with the Assistant Master and Sub-Masters rather than, say, College Porters. Knox also retains many traditional aspects of college life, such as requiring jackets and ties for most dinners and making division into Senior and Junior Common Rooms. Senior Common Room members are, in addition, expected to wear academic (undress) gowns for Sunday evening meals.〔for instance, visiting fellow and Iroquois scholar, William N. Fenton, refers to dining in 1975 'with the Master and faculty at the high table, as in British university colleges'. Fenton, Campisi & Starna, 1975, p. 160〕 In keeping with this ethos and with its ecclesiastic roots, sung Evensong is held in the College's Ross Chapel each week during term-time, led by the resident College Choir. The College's history describes the music as being "in the Royal School of Church Music tradition" and, indeed, Knox College acts as the regional Registered Office of the RSCM, New Zealand for Otago & Southland.〔 Many students will undertake some formal, college-coordinated learning at some stage during their residence, though the responsibility for students' education is ultimately borne by the university rather than the college, with students registering for or altering courses directly through the university administration. The College takes an active role in monitoring students' academic progress, requiring the majority of students to attend progress interviews. In addition, the college benefits from an on-campus library, the (Hewitson Library ), which provides continuous access for students to study space, a small cluster of computers and its primarily theological collection.〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=Knox College )〕 The Senior Common Room largely consists of (non-resident) academics and leading figures of the community elected into fellowship on a quinquennial basis. A number of Fellows in Residence, usually in the initial stages of an academic career (at masters, doctoral and postdoctoral level) are also included in the SCR. The stipendiary Ross Fellowship, established in 1920 and still held by a Resident Fellow of the College, is amongst the oldest such awards in the University. Until recently, certain Chairs in theology were held at Knox College.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=College Scholarships )〕〔For example: ; 〕 The visitor is the Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa New Zealand.〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=Knox College )〕 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「Knox College, Otago」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
