In 1901 Dulwich’s population was considerably less than today’s total; an extraordinary fact as the figures for the population of areas that bounded it to its north, east and west were double those of today.

 The Statutes of Dulwich College. : ALLEYNE, (Edward).
On 29 September 1626, in his last illness, Alleyn dictated these statutes for the running and financing of his college, including detailed instructions for the selection of members and their behaviour, weekly diet, including boiled beef, cheese, fish, apple and pear pies, and beer "without stint" on three days a week.
The scholars were to be taught "in good and sound learning writing reading Gram[m]ar Musique and good mann[er]s" and the children of the inhabitants of Dulwich were also to be taught for a small fee.
Dulwich College, still thriving today, is a fine testament to Alleyn's wish, expressed in response to a letter from Sir Francis Calton, the previous owner of Dulwich Manor, that "If I am richer than my ancestors I hope I may do more good with my riches than ever your ancestors did with their riches".
