St Patrick's, Carlow College, founded in 1782 by James Keefe, then Roman Catholic Bishop of Kildare and Leighlin, and his co-adjutor bishop Daniel Delany, is a college in Carlow, Ireland. Initially he attempted to open a seminary in Tullow, but instead took out a 999-year lease on the present site. It is notable for educating many Catholic priests, but also provides courses in humanities and social studies to the laity. The college opened in 1793. ==History== Carlow College, or St Patrick's as it is known locally, is one of Ireland's oldest educational institutions. During the nineteenth century, students studied Philosophy, Theology, Mathematics, Languages and Law at Carlow College. From 1793 to 1892, it educated both lay people and those studying for the priesthood. In 1832 college president Fr. Andrew Fitzgerald O.P. was imprisoned as part of the Tithe War for his refusal to pay tithes.〔''Paul Cardinal Cullen and the shaping of modern Irish Catholicism'' By Desmond Bowen〕 In 1840, Carlow College was accredited by the University of London〔(Carlow College Report ) HETAC〕 and over the succeeding decades students of the college sat the examinations for primary degrees in Arts (B.A.) and Law (LL.B.) from London.〔''Paul Cullen and his contemporaries with their letters from 1820-1902'', by Peadar Mac Suibhne, Published in 1965, Leinster Leader (Naas)〕〔(Minutes of the Senate of the University of London ) - 1 January – 22 July 1840〕 In May 1847, Carlow College president Dr. James Taylor purchased a house and farm of 127 acres at Knockbeg and St. Mary’s was opened there as a preparatory school to Carlow College, in 1892 lay students were transferred to Knockbeg.〔(St. Mary's College, Knockbeg ) rootsweb〕 In 1866 Queen's University of Ireland engaged in a dialogue about empowering it to examine and confer degrees on students other than those of the Queen’s colleges, the ''St. Patricks College Carlow Report''〔(St. Patrick's College Carlow Report, 1866 Introduction ) Printed by T. Price, 55 Dublin St.〕 was conducted and the college was deemed to meet the criteria, as evidenced by the courses examined and conferred by University of London, (the report listed all the students and professors at the time) however it was never enacted. This dialogue with the President James Walshe and the Queen's senate caused a dispute between Walshe and Cardinal Cullen.〔 Ordained Students and Staff at the college produced ''The Carlow College Magazine''. In 1844 the ''Foreign Missions Fund'' was established after a bequest from Rev. Maurice Kearney, and sometimes called the ''Kearney Fund'', this allowed Bishops to Foreign Missions adopt and students to avail of bursaries to help them. Following the 1879 University Education (Ireland) Act all Catholic colleges, including Carlow College, came under a reconstituted Catholic University of Ireland,〔Page 96, ''Ireland Since the Famine'' by F.S.L. Lyons, Fontana Press, (1971)〕 and affiliated to the new Royal University of Ireland. Hence students could be matriculated and examined by the Royal University. The ''National Centre for Liturgy'' moved to Carlow in 1978 where it was based until it moved to Maynooth in August 1996.〔(National Centre of Liturgy - Who we are ) www.liturgy-ireland.ie〕 From 1892 up to 1989, the college was operating principally as a seminary for the priesthood. Between 1793 and 1993 it is estimated that 3132 priests were ordained in Carlow.〔(Irish priests in the United States: a vanishing subculture ) By William L. Smith.〕 1989 seen the college be affiliated to N.C.E.A. the forerunner of HETAC.〔(Carlow College adapts to Changing times ) Bishop Jim Moriarity, Irish Times, Monday, 4th August, 2003.〕 In 1993 a stone cross by the German artist Paul Schneider, was placed in the grounds to celebrate its bi-centenary, also a lecture was given by former college president Bishop Ryan.〔''The Once and Future Church: Carlow College Bicentenary Lecture'' by L. Ryan - 1993.〕 In 1995 full-time degree students became entitled to the Irish Governments ''free fees'' scheme and local authority grants.〔(Written Answers. - Free Tuition Initiative, Minister for Education Niamh Bhreathnach ) Dáil Éireann, Tuesday, 14 November 1995〕 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「St. Patrick's, Carlow College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
