Several houses, conveniently situated in the neighbourhood of the Castle, have been thrown together and divided into rooms for the reception of Students. Since the Castle has been held in trust for the University by the Bishop of Durham, much additional accommodation for Students has been obtained within its walls. The Hall of the Castle has been occupied as a College Hall, and its Chapel as a College Chapel. Every Student in statu pupillari must reside within the College, unless a dispensation to reside elsewhere be granted by the Warden: and thus the controul under which the Students are placed is similar to that which is exercised in the Colleges of Oxford and Cambridge. College examinations, independent of those appointed by the University, are held at the end of every Term. An account of the principal expenses is given in the Appendix. Master.
