St Catherine's College, Oxford
St Catherine's College (often called St Catz or Catz) is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in England. Its motto is ''Nova et Vetera'', which translates as: "the new and the old".
The college was founded by the distinguished historian Alan Bullock, who went on to become the first Master of the College, and later Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University. As of 2006, the college had an estimated financial endowment of £53m.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Oxford College Endowment Incomes, 1973–2006 ) (updated July 2007)〕
==History==
The College traces its descent from the Delegacy of Non-Collegiate Students, founded in 1868 to offer university education at Oxford without the costs of college membership. Nonetheless, the social role of a college was re-established by the Delegacy's students, meeting as St Catherine's Club (originally St Catharine's Club), which was named after its meeting place in a hall on Catte Street.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Former octagonal chapel 29 Broad Street, Oxford )〕 The Club was officially recognised by the University in 1931 as St Catherine's Society. It was thus developing the characteristics of a college, and in 1956 the Delegates decided to formalise this change in status.
After acquiring from Merton College, Oxford on part of Holywell Great Meadow for £57,690, monies were sought from the University Grants Committee who also agreed to supply £250,000 towards the building, and additional funds up to £400,000 for all facilities. By 1960 Sir Alan Bullock raised a further £1,000,000 with invaluable assistance from two industrial notables, Sir Alan Wilson (whom he met by chance on the RMS Queen Mary) and Sir Hugh Beaver. After a total cost of £2.5 million, the college opened in 1962 to male students. In 1974 St Catz was one of the first men's colleges to admit women as full members, the others being Brasenose, Jesus, Hertford, and Wadham.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Women at Oxford )〕
