	Balliol College MCR
		Balliol graduates, or Middle Common Room (MCR) members, are fortunate to enjoy the advantages both of being part of a large and established College, and of forming an independent, active and diverse graduate community.
		Indeed, the Balliol MCR is the envy of many other Oxford colleges.
		The Manor itself is some ten minutes walk from the main College site, and comprises a complex of buildings dating from the 15th century to the 1990s.

	::Medieval Colleges at Oxford::
		Balliol can claim to be Oxford University's oldest college as it may have been founded as early as 1261 - records certainly show that students existed at Balliol before June 1266.
		In the 1260's, Sir John de Balliol took an oath, as a result of a penance, "to provide a perpetual maintenance for poor scholars in the university." This led directly to the founding of Balliol College.
		The tutors at the college were under the supervision of a senior master, who received two allowances; one for his teaching and another for the administrative work he did.

	Balliol College Bridge Club
		Balliol College Bridge Club, the only independent Bridge Club in the University, was founded in 2001 with the twin aims of providing a congenial haven for Bridge players of all standards and of introducing beginners to the delights of the Great Game.
		Indeed, in 2005 the four teams left in the semifinals were Balliol A, Balliol B, Balliol C, and Balliol D. And in 2006 the last three teams standing were Balliol A, Balliol B and Balliol C. Outside the narrow confines of Oxford University Bridge we also prosper and thrive.

	Student Profiles - Balliol JCR
		For me, one of the most important thing is the diversity of college life; whether you are interested in politics, acting, sports or debating, (to name a but a few), the college provides for it all.
		Balliol has an exceptional academic reputation, but the student-run pantry and bar means there is a wonderful social atmosphere as well.
		The thriving Balliol College Medical Society is only one example of this; functioning as a catalytic platform for physiologists and medics to launch from.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: College
		The colleges are distinct corporations, which manage their own property and elect their own officers; the university has no legal power over the colleges, although it has jurisdiction over the individual members of the colleges, because they are members also of the university.
		To understand the origin of the colleges and their character, it is necessary to know the social conditions in which the medieval students lived.
		It is true, at a much later date, the university was sacrificed to the colleges, and the colleges themselves became inactive; contrary to the intention of the founders, who had established them for the maintenance of the poor, they were occupied by the wealthy, especially after the paying boarders, "commoners", or "pensioners", became numerous.

	About Balliol College: History - PH Shaw-Stewart (Site not responding. Last check: )
		At both Eton (1901-1906) and Balliol College Oxford (1907-1910) he was a foundation scholar, and he swept the board of available academic prizes - the Reynolds and Newcastle scholarships at Eton and the Ireland, Craven, Hertford and Eldon Law scholarships while at Balliol, as well as Firsts in Honour Moderations and Greats.
		His closest friends at Balliol were all Etonians: Ronald Knox, later his biographer; LE Jones who also wrote about him; and a doomed group which was exuberant beyond the patience of the dons - Julian Grenfell*, Charles Alfred Lister (1887-1915), and Edward William Horner (1888-1917).
		Following Lister's rustication in 1908 for ridiculing the Junior Dean of Trinity College, there was an elaborate mock funeral at which Shaw-Stewart preached on the text "I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest".

	1998 Conference on Values in Higher Education
		Legend has it that Balliol's famous act of charity was actually induced by the penance imposed upon him by the Bishop in repentance for the grave injury done against the Church; in truth, Balliol was more likely responding to a writ pronounced by the Crown demanding reparation for his crime.
		In most cases, the agent working on behalf of the College succeeded in securing the benefaction not only by means of the authority of whatever office he may hold, but also by aligning his objectives with those of the donor's--a ploy that is still fundamental to the art of solicitation today.
		Thus, for example, in directing Balliol's charity to found what would become the first true college in England, the Bishops were also able to advance the provision of an educated and professional clergy and thus the well-being of the Church as well.

		The great benefit of the programme is that the students are kindly hosted for much of their time in the country by Old Members of the College, thus seeing life in the USA and Canada 'from the inside' rather than simply as tourists.
		The College is enormously grateful first to Bill Coolidge and then to Kitty and John Lastavica for all they have done, both financially and in so many other ways to help Balliol students.

	Admissions - Balliol JCR
		Whatever college you apply to, being at Oxford University is a fantastic experience, but here at Balliol we think we belong to a college that has a really unique character.
		Balliol is famous for its informality, friendly atmosphere, its work hard/play hard attitude (though there will always be some who turn laziness into an art form!) and the fact that no matter where you’re from, what your interests are, you’re bound to fit in here.
		Whether you’ve applied to Balliol already and want to take a look at what you can expect when you arrive, whether you’re thinking about applying in October and want to find out how or whether you’re just curious about the college, we hope that this site can tell you all you need to know.
