	Sir George Downing - LoveToKnow 1911
		Pepys, who characterizedhis conduct asodious though useful to the king, calls him a "perfidious rogue," and remarks that "all the world took notice of him for a most ungrateful villain for his pains." 3 On the ist of July 1663 he was created a baronet.
		Downing Street, London, is named after him, while Downing College, Cambridge, derived its name from his grandson, the 3rd baronet.
		Downing was undoubtedly a man of great political and diplomatic ability, but his talents were rarely employed for the advantage of his country and his character was marked by all the mean vices, treachery, avarice, servility and ingratitude.

	Downing College, Cambridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Downing College is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom.
		The college was founded in 1800 under the will of Sir George Downing, 3rd Baronet with the wealth left by his grandfather, Sir George Downing, 1st Baronet, who served both Cromwell and Charles II and built 10 Downing Street (a door formerly from Number 10 is in use in the college).
		The college is renowned for its strong Legal and Medical tradition, the former subject being built up by the late Professor Clive Parry, his pupil and successor John Hopkins (now an emeritus fellow) and the current Director of Studies in Law and Senior Tutor, Graham Virgo.

	Downing College Boat Club - History
		Downing College Boat Club was established in October 1863.
		Despite the college being very poor, there was plenty of support from the fellows; the tutor Dr Perkins, inebriated after a Club dinner, stumbled in the gutter on St Andrew's Street.
		In 1893, the owner of the current Downing plot died, and the then-Tutor, Rev'd J Saunders bought the plot for the Club from his own finances for a sum of £240.

		None of the colleges are really that different- they all have beds, food and libraries, and there will be ‘your kind of people' in every one.
		Ask a Downing student why they chose to come here, and the most common answer you will find is "it's so pretty"- our buildings are unique, and stunning.
		Downing is stunning to look at, especially in summer or when it's snowing.

	Boheme - Downing College Ball - Ents
		Downing was founded by Sir George Downing, third baronet, with wealth left by his grandfather, the first baronet, who served both Cromwell and Charles II and built No. 10 Downing Street, which has been for 250 years the London home of the Prime Minister.
		By the time this happened, the fortune which should have been used to found and maintain the college had been gravely eroded and the estates were so neglected and unprofitable that Downing began life poverty-stricken and with poor prospects.
		The development of the College buildings has therefore been slow and spasmodic - another 50 years passed before the college was in working order.

		With the college's commitment to classicism and its strong emphasis on the Greek Revival, it was felt appropriate that this building should form a 'capriccio' of the outstanding monuments of the Acropolis.
		For that reason the Portico of Augustus forms the main entrance and south portico of the building; the Choragic monument of Thrasyllus forms the East Portico; and the Tower of the Winds forms the octagonal cupola, which has a Greek Corinthian capital at the apex with a weathervane.
		The entrance doorcase is a combination of Greek work with splayed architraves combined with Michelangelo's doorcase at the Medici Chapel, Florence where the reduction in width of the architrave and fine detail foreshadow the change in taste from the Roman to Greek detail.
