  Thomas Linacre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On his return to Oxford, full of the learning and imbued with the spirit of the Italian Renaissance, he formed one of the brilliant circle of Oxford scholars, including John Colet, William Grocyn and William Latimer, who are mentioned in the letters of Erasmus.
The most important service Linacre conferred upon his own profession and science was the foundation by royal charter of the College of Physicians in London, and he was the first president of the new college, which he further aided by bequeathing to it his own house and library.
The Oxford foundation was revived by the university commissioners in 1856 in the form of the Linacre professorship of anatomy.

 Lecturer in Conjunction with Linacre College   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Linacre was established by the University in 1962, primarily in order to provide a collegiate base for graduates of universities other than Oxford, both British and overseas.
Linacre's prime objective is to provide the best possible environment, both intellectual and social, for graduate students- something which more traditional colleges, in which the needs of undergraduates naturally have priority, sometimes find it difficult to achieve.
Particularly with the needs of thesis-writers in mind, Linacre has expanded its computer facilities, which are now among the best in Oxford at college level:  as part of a continuing programme of improvement microcomputers and laser printers have been housed in a newly refurbished library and study area in the main building.
