St John's College :: Shared Description
St John's College is a constituent college of the University of Oxford. It was founded in 1555 by the merchant Sir Thomas White, intended to provide a source of educated Roman Catholic clerics to support the Counter-Reformation under Queen Mary. St John's is the wealthiest college in Oxford, with a financial endowment of £340 million as of 2012, largely due to nineteenth century suburban development of land in the city of Oxford, of which it is the ground landlord.
Located on St Giles', the college has an unusually large site for its central location, although the student body is of median size with approximately 390 undergraduates and 250 postgraduates. As well as over 100 academic staff,[2] the college is supported by a similar number of other staff.
