==History==

=== Durham College ===
{{Main|Durham College, Oxford}}
[[File:Durham Quad, Trinity College, Oxford.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Surviving buildings of Durham College in Durham Quadrangle]] The site where Trinity College now stands was originally occupied by Durham College, built for [[Benedictine]] monks from [[Durham Cathedral]].<ref name="hopkins9">{{harvnb|Hopkins|2005|pp=9&ndash;15}}</ref> This college had been founded after land was bought in 1291, though monks had been sent to Oxford for a few years previous to this.<ref>[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=40176 "Houses of Benedictine monks: Durham College, Oxford"]. ''A History of the County of Oxford'' Volume 2 (1907), pp. 68-70. Accessed 27 March 2012.</ref> The site was surrendered to the crown in March 1545, being granted to private owners in 1553. They were then acquired by civil servant [[Thomas Pope]] on 20 February 1555 (February 1554 as then was), who used them to found Trinity College 16 days later.<ref name="hopkins9"/> Durham College was originally dedicated to the Virgin Mary, [[St Cuthbert]], and the Trinity, and it is thought that Trinity College took its name from the last element of this dedication.<ref>{{harvnb|Hopkins|2005|p=17}}</ref>

===Trinity College===
[[File:Trinity College Oxford, 1566.png|thumb|left|200px|Trinity College in 1566 (looking north), shortly after its foundation. This quadrangle is now Durham Quad]]
{{main|History of Trinity College, Oxford}}
Trinity College was founded in 1555 by Sir [[Thomas Pope]], on land bought following the abolition of Durham College during the period of [[Protestant Reformation]], whose buildings housed the original foundation. Pope was a [[Roman Catholic Church|Catholic]] who had no surviving children, and he hoped that by founding a college he would be remembered in the prayers of its students. His remains are still encased beside the chapel altar. The original foundation provided for a president, 12 [[Oxbridge Fellow|fellows]], and 12 scholars, and for up to 20 undergraduates. The fellows were required to take [[Holy Orders]] and to remain unmarried.{{citation needed|date=March 2021}}

The college remained an all-male institution until 1979, when (in common with a number of other Oxford colleges) it admitted its first women undergraduates. It is now fully [[co-educational]] and co-residential. Between 2015 and 2017, 41.1% of UK undergraduates admitted to Trinity came from state schools.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ox.ac.uk/sites/files/oxford/Annual%20Admissions%20Statistical%20Report%202018.pdf|title=Annual Admissions Statistical Report May 2018|website=www.ox.ac.uk}}</ref>

Trinity was one of the locations used for filming of the original series ''[[Brideshead Revisited (TV serial)|Brideshead Revisited]]''; its grounds were also, in part, the basis for Fleet College in [[Charles Finch|Charles Finch's]] ''[[The Last Enchantments]]''. Trinity has also featured heavily in episodes of ''[[Inspector Morse (TV series)|Inspector Morse]]'', ''[[Lewis (TV series)|Lewis]]'' and ''[[Endeavour (TV series)|Endeavour]]''.{{citation needed|date=March 2021}}

Dame [[Hilary Boulding]], formerly principal of the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, succeeded Sir [[Ivor Roberts (diplomat)|Ivor Roberts]] as president in August 2017.{{citation needed|date=March 2021}}

===Trinity–Balliol rivalry===
For many years, there has been a traditional and fierce rivalry shown between the students of Trinity and those of its immediate neighbour to the west, [[Balliol College, Oxford|Balliol College]].<ref>Clare Hopkins and Bryan Ward-Perkins, "The Trinity/Balliol Feud", ''Trinity College Oxford Report'' (1989–90), pp. 45-66.</ref> It has manifested itself on the sports field and the river; in the form of songs (of greater or less offensiveness) sung over the dividing walls; and in the form of "raids" on the other college.

In college [[folklore]], the rivalry goes back to the late 17th century, when [[Ralph Bathurst]], president of Trinity, was supposedly observed throwing stones at Balliol's windows.<ref>Hopkins and Ward-Perkins, "Trinity/Balliol Feud", p. 45.</ref> In fact, although the first antagonism [[History of Trinity College, Oxford#Early history (1555–1600)|was recorded in 1583]], the rivalry in its modern form appears to date from the late 1890s, when the chant or song known as a "Gordouli" began to be sung from the Balliol side.<ref>For the Gordouli, see G. Norman Knight, "The Quest for Gordouli", ''Balliol College Record'', 1969; reprinted in ''Trinity College Oxford Report'', 1984–5.</ref> The traditional words run:
{{poemquote|Gordouli
Face like a ham,
[[Robert Johnson (civil servant)|Bobby Johnson]] says so
And he should know.<ref>"Gordoulis" was a popular brand of Egyptian cigarette. As "Gordouli", it became a nickname applied by Balliol men to a Trinity undergraduate, [[Arthur Galletti]], who later joined the Indian Civil Service (I.C.S.) in the British Indian Province of Madras and cemented a reputation as an unconventional, maverick official whose words and actions constantly challenged the Raj and blighted his career for his extremely liberal support of the Indian people in contrast to the official government positions expected to be enforced by a member of the ruling class. [[Robert Johnson (civil servant)|Bobby Johnson]], later Deputy Master and a Controller of the [[Royal Mint]], was an undergraduate at [[New College, Oxford|New College]]. See Knight, "Quest for Gordouli".</ref>}}
Although these words are now rarely heard, the singing of songs over the wall is still known as "a Gordouli". The traditional Gordouli is said to have been sung by Balliol and Trinity men in the trenches of [[Mesopotamian campaign|Mesopotamia]] during the [[World War I|First World War]].<ref>Knight, "Quest for Gordouli".</ref>

The rivalry was given an extra edge in the early 20th century by the contrast between the [[Left-wing politics|radical]] tendencies of many Balliol students and Trinity's traditional conservatism and social exclusivity. The president of Trinity between 1907 and 1938 was [[Herbert Edward Douglas Blakiston|Herbert Blakiston]], who became notorious for his reluctance to admit non-white students. Notably, he stubbornly resisted pressure from the [[India Office]] to admit undergraduates from [[British India]], something that government department was attempting to promote.<ref>Hopkins (2005), p.344</ref> Balliol in contrast did admit a number of Indian and Asiatic students which gave many of the taunts from the Trinity side a distinctly [[Racism|racist]] tone: Balliol students, for example, were sometime referred to as "[[Sotho people|Basutos]]".<ref>Hopkins and Ward-Perkins, "Trinity/Balliol Feud", pp. 54-60.</ref>

In ''[[Five Red Herrings]]'' (1931), a [[Lord Peter Wimsey]] novel by [[Dorothy L. Sayers]], Lord Peter (a Balliol man) is asked whether he remembers a certain contemporary from Trinity. "'I never knew any Trinity men,' said Wimsey. 'The Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.'"<ref>{{cite book |first=Dorothy L. |last=Sayers |author-link=Dorothy L. Sayers |title=[[Five Red Herrings]] |publisher=New English Library |place=London |year=1968 |orig-year=1931 |page=157}} Wimsey's Biblical quotation is from John 4: 9.</ref> Sayers also alludes to the rivalry in ''[[Murder Must Advertise]]'' (1933): Mr Ingleby, a Trinity man, comments, "If there is one thing more repulsive than another it is Balliolity."<ref>{{cite book |first=Dorothy L. |last=Sayers |author-link=Dorothy L. Sayers |title=[[Murder Must Advertise]] |publisher=New English Library |place=London |year=1969 |orig-year=1933 |page=8 }}</ref>

One of the wittier raids from Balliol, in 1962 or 1963, involved the turfing of the whole of Trinity [[Common Room (university)|JCR]] (complete with daffodils).<ref>Hopkins and Ward-Perkins, "Trinity/Balliol Feud", p. 51.</ref> One of the most famous incidents was perpetrated by three Trinity students (Richard Todd, Richard Cohen and Deidrie Small) on the new intake of freshers to Balliol in October 1985. They sent personally addressed letters to each of Balliol's new freshers on Balliol headed notepaper. It enclosed a narrow neck 100ml screw-top receptacle. The attached letter read, "Dear [X], Welcome to Balliol. As you are aware the university requires a short medical check-up as part of your Coming-Up. Could you therefore please provide a urine sample in the attached sample bottle and return it to your college tutor's office by no later than 5.00 PM on Wednesday." The letters were sent out on that Wednesday evening. Balliol admitted to some 57 being returned. The incident was subsequently reported in the ''Daily Express'' under the headline, "students play wee joke on neighbours". The incident concluded with Todd and Cohen unfurling a banner over Balliol reading, "We are Balliol. Please Don't Take The Piss!". The last incident suspected to relate to the feud was the vandalism of Trinity's SCR pond in 2010, which led to the death of all but one of the fish.<ref>{{cite web|last=Segrove|first=Natalya|title=Trinity fish murdered|url=http://www.cherwell.org/news/2010/02/25/trinity-fish-murdered|work=Cherwell.org|date=25 February 2010 }}</ref>

==Buildings==
[[File:Trinity College, Oxford - geograph.org.uk - 48834.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Entrance from Broad Street]]
The main entrance to the college is on [[Broad Street, Oxford|Broad Street]], located between [[Balliol College, Oxford|Balliol College]] and [[Blackwell UK|Blackwell's]] bookshop, and opposite [[Turl Street]]. It is enclosed by an iron palisade rather than a wall, and the college's distinctive blue gates provide it with a more open appearance than many others in Oxford. The rear of the college backs onto [[St John's College, Oxford|St John's College]], and has entrances on both [[St Giles', Oxford|St Giles']] and [[Parks Road]]. As well as its four major quadrangles, the college also boasts a large lawn and gardens, which include a small area of woodland.{{citation needed|date=March 2021}}

===Durham Quadrangle===
[[File:Alternative view of Durham Quad from Chapel Arch.jpg|thumb|Durham Quadrangle at night]]
Trinity College was built around a single quadrangle, now known as the Durham quadrangle, named after Durham College which previously occupied the site of Trinity.

===Chapel===
[[File:Trinity College Chapel, Oxford - Diliff.jpg|thumb|The chapel]]
The chapel, though relatively modest in size compared to some of its Oxford counterparts, was the first college chapel to be designed entirely in the [[Baroque]] style.{{Citation needed|date=April 2010}} It was thought to be designed by [[Henry Aldrich]], with advice from [[Christopher Wren]], and was consecrated in 1694.{{citation needed|date=March 2021}} The executed design was based on a second print, moderated by Wren, and the previous print, held in the Library of Christ Church, Oxford, showed a different scheme for the west tower and the interior.

On the top of the west tower sit four female statues, which represent Astronomy, Geometry, Medicine and Theology.{{citation needed|date=March 2021}}

===Garden Quadrangle===
In a letter dated June 22, 1665, kept in the Trinity College Archives, [[Christopher Wren]] wrote back to the President of the College, [[Ralph Bathurst]] that it would be 'lame one... like a threelegged table' in response to Bathurst's suggestion of an open Quadrangle be put up to allow the view of the Fellows' Garden. 

During Wren's absence in Paris, the construction of the initial freestanding building - two-storied accommodation block with a mansard roof (the first one in Oxford) was put up under the direction of Oxfordshire stonemason family, the Townsends between 1665-1668. The west side was added to the same plan in 1682.<ref name="VCH Trinity College"/> The mansard roof was pulled down and replaced with the addition of a third storey as the population of Trinity College students grew.

In its current state, the Garden Quad remains faithful to Bathurst's original intentions and the addition of the central block, completing the open air quadrangle was probably inspired by William Byrd's Garden Quadrangle at [[New College, Oxford]] completed between 1682-1702.

===Front Quadrangle===
The front quadrangle between the Durham quadrangle and Broad Street was formed by the new buildings (1883–1885) and the president's lodgings (1885–1887), both designed by [[Thomas Graham Jackson]]. It also includes some older buildings on Broad Street: four old cottages and Kettell Hall, a stone house built by President [[Ralph Kettell]] in around 1620.<ref name="VCH Trinity College">{{cite web|url=https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/oxon/vol3/pp238-251 |title=Trinity College |publisher=british-history.ac.uk |access-date=19 March 2019}}</ref>

===Library Quadrangle===
The library quadrangle is located between Jackson's new buildings and the new library of 1925–1928, built as a memorial to members of the college who perished in [[World War I]].<ref name="VCH Trinity College"/> The building was designed by architect Mr. J. Osborne Smith, with the ornate barrel roof created by the leading architectural designer [[Leonard Shuffrey]].<ref>{{cite journal |title=Leonard Shuffrey |journal=Architecture Magazine |date=Spring 1927 |pages=276–279 }}</ref> 

The Cumberbatch buildings to the north and south were designed by Maguire and Murray and built in 1964–1966.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.trinity.ox.ac.uk/library/war-memorial/ |title=The War Memorial Library |publisher=Trinity College, Oxford |access-date=13 May 2019}}</ref> The {{convert|10000|sqft|m2}} Norrington Room (named after [[Arthur Lionel Pugh Norrington|Sir Arthur Norrington]], a former president of the college<ref>{{cite book|title=The Guinness Book of Records|year=1967|publisher=Guinness Superlatives Limited|location=London|isbn=0-900424-00-1|page=123|edition=14th}}</ref>) of Blackwells bookshop lies underneath the quad. 

In 2018 the college gained planning permission for a new building, designed by [[ADAM Architecture]], to the north of the library quadrangle and the university's [[Weston Library]] and replacing the northern Cumberbatch building.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.trinity.ox.ac.uk/go-ahead-for-building-project/ |title=Go Ahead for the Levine Building |publisher=Trinity College, Oxford |access-date=12 February 2020}}</ref> The Levine Building was opened in 2022 and marked the beginning of the overarching transformation of Trinity College.<ref>{{cite news|title=Prince Charles opens Trinity College's Levine Building|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-61435751|work=[[BBC News]]|date=13 May 2022|access-date=13 May 2022}}</ref>

==Graces==

The college grace reads:<ref>{{cite book |last=Adams|first=Reginald H.|date=2013 |title=The College Graces of Oxford and Cambridge |publisher=The Bodleian Library}}</ref>
{| class="wikitable"
!Latin !! English

|"Have mercy upon us, we beseech thee O Lord, and bless thy gifts of which we are about to partake from thy goodness, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."
|}

==Student life==
The college offers accommodation to all undergraduate students. First and second years are housed on the college's main site, and third and fourth years in college buildings on the Woodstock Road.<ref>[https://www.trinity.ox.ac.uk/student-life/accommodation/ "Undergraduate accommodation"]. trinity.ox.ac.uk. Retrieved on 2018-08-09.</ref>

===Chapel Choir===
The Chapel Choir of Trinity College consists of up to eight choral scholars and exhibitioners, and over thirty choral volunteers from across Oxford. It remains as one of the few non-auditioning chapel choirs in Oxford and the majority of its singers are Trinity College students. 

The choir sing a weekly [[Evening Prayer (Anglican)|Evensong]] on a Sunday with occasional weekday services to mark college events such the Founder's Day. Unlike many colleges, Trinity College remains in the minority of Oxford colleges with no Director of Music. Thus, the responsibility of overseeing the chapel choir falls to the [[organ scholar]]s and is overseen by the [[Chaplain]].<ref>[https://www.trinity.ox.ac.uk/chapel-choir "Chapel Choir"]. trinity.ox.ac.uk Retrieved on 2022-27-06.</ref> As of 2023, the organ scholars and choral award-holders are supported by Sarah Tenant-Flowers and Joanna Campion-Watt. Previous choral advisors to the Chapel Choir include [[Ralph Allwood]] who was appointed after his directorship at [[Eton College]].

The Chapel Choir has gone on overseas tours annually: tour destinations include Dublin in 2008, where they sang concerts and a Sung Eucharist in [[St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin]], Rome in 2009, Paris in 2010, Barcelona in 2011 and Vienna in 2012. In more recent decade, the Chapel Choir has toured Valencia (2022), Ljubljana (2023) and Lyon (2024), singing concerts and mass at [[Ljubljana Cathedral]] and [[Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière]]. 

In terms of discography, in 2009, the choir released a CD, called 'A Voice from Afar', directed by then-organ scholar, Catherine Wallace.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://163.1.162.121/media/pdf/Trinity_Report_2008_2009.PDF|title=Trinity College Oxford, Report 2008 – 2009|access-date=24 November 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151124184717/http://163.1.162.121/media/pdf/Trinity_Report_2008_2009.PDF|archive-date=24 November 2015}}</ref>
