	§8. John Cheke. XIX. English Universities, Schools and Scholarship in the Sixteenth Century. Vol. 3. Renascence ...
		The rapid growth of the revival in England may be illustrated by contrasting the postion and attainments of Grocyn at Oxford (1491) and those of “John Cheke who taught Cambridge Greek” as regius professor, in 1540.
		Admitted to St. John’s when twelve years of age, Cheke so proved his skill in the tongues as “to have laid the very foundations of learning in his College.” The foundation of the royal chair of Greek gave him the pre-eminence, both titular and real, in Cambridge scholarship.
		Cheke became public orator in 1544, and was appointed tutor to prince Edward.

	King's College Archive Centre
		John Baker and his brother Philip were fellows of King's during the reigns of King Edward VI (1547-53) and Queen Mary I (1553-58).
		John Baker lived in a period of profound political and religious change, which, although often conceived of in terms of national law and governance, profoundly affected the subjects of the crown at a local level – this was certainly the case in the kingdom's two academic centres of Oxford and Cambridge.
		The Chapel was already an established and potent symbol of Tudor authority, and the College's provost from 1548, John Cheke, was a tutor to the king and a man at the cutting edge of English humanism and evangelical reformation.

	Roger Ascham
		In 1546 Ascham was elected public orator by the university on Sir John Cheke's retirement.
		Shortly after the beginning of the reign of King Edward VI, Ascham made public profession of Protestant opinions in a disputation on the doctrine of the Mass, begun in his own college and then removed for greater publicity to the public schools of the university, where it was stopped by the vice-chancellor.
		Cheke then procured him the secretaryship to Sir Richard Morrison (Moryson), appointed ambassador to Charles V. It was on his way to join Morrison that he paid his celebrated morning call on Lady Jane Grey at Bradgate, where he found her reading Plato's Phaedo, while every one else was out hunting.

		Sir John Haward, a writer yet later, has, in his History of the Norman Kings, endeavoured to evince the superiority of the archer to the musketeer: however, in the long peace of king James, the bow was wholly forgotten.
		Cheke, as is well known, was compelled to a recantation; and why Ascham was spared, cannot now be discovered.
