Topic: College of France


In the News (Sat 4 Jul 09)

  
  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The College de France
The Collège de France was founded in the interest of higher education by Francis I.
The Collège de France was first ruled by the Grand Aumônier de France, who appointed the professors until 1661, when it became a part of the University of Paris, from which it was afterwards separated for a time, and finally reaffiliated in 1766.
The college has been known by different names: in 1534 it was called the "College of the Three Languages"; under Louis XIII, the "Collège Royal"; during the Revolution, the "Collège National"; Napoleon called it the "Collège Impérial", and under the Restoration, it bore the name of "Collège Royal".
