[edit] Lists
The lists of students and fellows are growing quite large. Since Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, I will remove everyone without a Wikipedia page, as well as people who just don't seem that important, unless someone with a better knowledge of these people and what they have done for the world gets there first. asyndeton 21:24, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Hobbes
As you can see, he went to Magdalen Hall, now part of Magdalen college. See page 9. I am removing him from Hertford's wall. http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=DhlOzCmNYj8C&dq=leviathan&pg=PP1&ots=Ukt7UCsxLI&sig=87oCYlW8OhZPhLA-v1E2_1Hx2B8&hl=en&prev=http://www.google.co.uk/search%3Fclient%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-GB:official%26channel%3Ds%26hl%3Den%26q%3DLeviathan%26lr%3Dlang_en%257Clang_it%26btnG%3DGoogle%2BSearch&sa=X&oi=print&ct=title&cad=one-book-with-thumbnail#PPP13,M1 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jackdelyelis (talk • contribs) 20:57, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
It explains, on this PAGE in fact, that Magdalen Hall is not to be confused with the earlier Magdalen Hall, which was later to become part of Magdalen College.
And since that was AFTER Hobbes time, then he couldn't have gone up to Hertford in what ever form. [1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jackdelyelis (talk • contribs) 21:10, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
- The Hall [Hart Hall] became Hertford College in 1740. Due to funding problems, the College's buildings were taken over as Magdalen Hall (not related to the similarly named Magdalen College whose separate Hall had been incorporated into the University as a college years before)1 in 1822. In 1874, the combined Hertford College/Magdalen Hall was finally re-established once again as a full college, largely due to the sponsorship of Sir Thomas Baring.
- is rather obscure. The colleges buildings were taken over - by who?, when? Did Hertford cease to exist for a while? If it didn't, what buildings did it have? William M. Connolley (talk) 21:42, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
See Hobbes's page, where I explain all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jackdelyelis (talk • contribs) 22:06, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
- Err, no you don't. Hopefully someone familiar with this can weight in. I have via email "A very quick look at Wood's City of Oxford says that Magdalen Hall in Hobbes's time was in the parish of Peter in the East and west of Magdalen College. In 1820 it moved to the former site of Hart Hall, which was in turn engulfed by Hertford" William M. Connolley (talk) 20:21, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
