Corpus Christi College is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. It tends to perform well academically but as a small college does less well in sporting activities within the University. However, it has won the annual sporting challenge against its larger sister college, Corpus Christi Cambridge, for six consecutive years (as at February 2005).
History
The college was founded in 1517 by Richard Fox, the bishop of Winchester. He was a humanist and interested in classical literature. He founded a library which was very progressive for the time. The library included books in Latin, Greek and even Hebrew.
The humanistic ideas of the founder are still important to the college today. The college attempts to select the brightest students regardless of their social background. Corpus Christi has around 330 students, which makes it one of the smaller colleges in Oxford.
