The college was founded in 1584 by Sir [[Walter Mildmay]], [[Chancellor of the Exchequer]] to [[Elizabeth I]].<ref name="bendall" /> In every year from 1998, Emmanuel has been among the top six colleges in the [[Tompkins Table]], which ranks colleges according to end-of-year examination results. Emmanuel has topped the table five times since then (2003, 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2010) and placed second six times (2001, 2002, 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2012). Its mean score places it as the second highest ranking college. Emmanuel is the fourth wealthiest of the colleges at Cambridge with a [[financial endowment]] of approximately £237 million and [[net assets]] of £223&nbsp;million. ==History== [[File:Emmanuel College Chapel, Cambridge by Loggan 1690 - sanders 6176.jpg|thumb|left|View of Emmanuel College Chapel, 1690]] The college was founded in 1584 by Sir [[Walter Mildmay]], [[Chancellor of the Exchequer]] to [[Elizabeth I]].<ref name="bendall">{{cite book| url=https://www.amazon.co.uk/History-Emmanuel-College-Cambridge/dp/0851153933| title=A History of Emmanuel College, Cambridge |year=1999|publisher=Boydell Press|isbn = 0-85115-393-3 |author1=Sarah Bendall |author2=Christopher Brooke |author3=Patrick Collinson }}</ref> The site had been occupied by a [[Dominican Order|Dominican]] friary until the [[Dissolution of the Monasteries]], some 45 years earlier. Mildmay's foundation made use of the existing buildings. Mildmay, a [[Puritan]], intended Emmanuel to be a college of training for [[Protestant]] preachers. Like all of the older Cambridge Colleges, Emmanuel originally took only male students. It first admitted female students in 1979. ==Buildings and grounds== [[File:Emmanuel College Chapel 1, Cambridge, UK - Diliff.jpg|thumb|left|The chapel looking towards the altar]] [[File:Emmanuel College Front, corridor, panoramica, Cambridge, UK, 2015.jpg|right|350px|thumb|Front Court cloisters]] Under Mildmay's instruction, the chapel of the original Dominican Friary had been converted to be the College's dining hall, with the friars' dining hall becoming a puritan chapel. In the late 17th century, the College commissioned a new chapel, one of three buildings in Cambridge to be designed by [[Christopher Wren]] (1677). After Wren's construction, the puritan chapel became the College library until it outgrew the space and a purpose-built library was constructed in 1930. There is a large fish pond in the grounds, part of the legacy of the friary. The pond is home of a colony of [[Mallard|ducks]]. The Fellows' Garden contains a swimming pool, which was originally the friars' bathing pool, making it one of the oldest bathing pools in Europe and allegedly the oldest outdoor pool in continuous use in the UK. It includes an [[Platanus orientalis|Oriental plane]] tree, also in the Fellows' Garden, which is reputed to have lived far longer than is typical of the species.<ref>{{cite web|author=Ron Gray|url=http://www.emma.cam.ac.uk/about/discover/plane/ |title=The Great Oriental Plane Tree at Emmanuel College|publisher=Emmanuel College, Cambridge}}</ref> The college also owns the only privately owned subway in the UK, connecting the main site to North Court. ==Student life== [[File:New Court, Emmanuel College - geograph.org.uk - 634071.jpg|thumb|left|New Court which was built in 1824–25]] [[File:Emmanuel College sports grounds - geograph.org.uk - 803309.jpg|thumb|College sports grounds]] The Emmanuel College Students' Union (ECSU) is the society of all undergraduate students at Emmanuel College. It provides a shop, a bar, a common room, and funding for sports and other societies. ECSU's Executive Committee is elected on a yearly basis at the end of [[Michaelmas]] Term.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ecsu.org.uk/|title=Emmanuel College Students' Union|publisher=|accessdate=13 September 2014}}</ref> The Emmanuel College Middle Combination Room (Emma MCR) is the society of all post-graduate students at Emmanuel College. The Room itself is a comfortable and well equipped space in the Queen's Building. The MCR committee organises regular social events for graduate students, including well-attended formal dinners in hall every few weeks.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.emmamcr.org.uk/|title=Emma MCR|publisher=|accessdate=13 September 2014}}</ref> ===Sports and societies=== A large number of student societies and sports clubs exist at Emmanuel College. Sports clubs include [[Emmanuel Boat Club]], tennis, badminton, cricket, squash, rugby, football, hockey and netball. Societies include the Emmanuel College Music Society (ECMS),<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.emmamusic.co.uk/|title=Emmanuel College Music Society|publisher=|accessdate=13 September 2014}}</ref> the Christian Union, the Mountaineering Club, the recently relaunched Emmanuel College Art and Photography Society,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ecapscambridge.tumblr.com/|title=Emmanuel College Art and Photography Society (ECAPS)|publisher=|accessdate=13 September 2014}}</ref> the Emmanuel Real Ice Cream Society (ERICS) and the Politics and Economics Society.

Of the first 100 university graduates in New England, one-third were graduates of Emmanuel College. [[Harvard University]], the first college in the United States, was organised on the model of Emmanuel, as it was then run. Harvard is named for [[John Harvard (clergyman)|John Harvard]] (B.A., 1632), an Emmanuel graduate. Emmanuel and Harvard maintain relations via student exchanges such as the Herchel Smith scholarships, the Harvard Scholarship, and the annual Gomes lecture and dinner held each February at Emmanuel in honour of the late [[Peter J. Gomes|Peter Gomes]], erstwhile minister at Harvard's [[Memorial Church of Harvard University|Memorial Church]]. Early Emmanuel men included several translators of the [[Authorized King James Version|1611 Authorised Version]]. {{citation needed|date=January 2014}} Fictional characters who have been said to have gone to Emmanuel include [[Jonathan Swift]]'s [[Lemuel Gulliver]]. It is implied that [[Sebastian Faulks]]' eponymous [[Engleby]] and Thomas Richardson also matriculated at Emmanuel. The protagonist in [[Samuel Butler (novelist)|Samuel Butler]]'s masterpiece [[The Way of All Flesh]] also went to Emmanuel. ==Miscellaneous== ===College grace=== [[File:Emmanuel College Cambridge front.jpg|thumb|Front façade of Emmanuel College viewed from Downing Street]] {| class="wikitable" |- |colspan=2|The Latin [[Grace (prayer)|grace]] (''Oratio Ante Cibum'') is recited before formal dinners at Emmanuel College.{{citation needed|date=May 2015}} |- | Latin | English |- | {{lang|LA|Oculi omnium in te sperant, Domine,<br> et tu das escam illorum in tempore opportuno.<br> Aperis tu manum tuam<br> et imples omne animal benedictione.<br> Benedic, Domine, nos et dona tua<br> quae de tua largitate sumus sumpturi;<br> per Christum Dominum nostrum.<br> Amen.}} | The eyes of all wait upon thee, O Lord,<br> and thou givest them their meat in due season.<br> Thou openest thy hand<br> and fillest every living thing with blessing.<br> Bless us, O Lord and these thy gifts<br> which of thy bounty we are about to receive;<br> through Christ our Lord.<br> Amen<br> |- |colspan=2|The ''Oratio Post Cibum'' is sometimes read after dinner:{{citation needed|date=May 2015}} |- | Latin | English |- | {{Lang|LA|Confiteantur tibi, Domine, omnia opera tua,<br> et sancti tui benedicant te.<br> Agimus tibi gratias, omnipotens Deus,<br> pro universis beneficiis tuis,<br> qui vivis et regnas Deus per omnia saecula saeculorum.<br> Amen.}} | Let all thy works give thanks to thee.

Only members and alumni of the college may be blessed in this way. The decision was supported both by the College council and the students' union. ==See also== * [[List of Organ Scholars at British Universities and Colleges#Emmanuel College, Cambridge|List of Organ Scholars]] * [[List of Masters of Emmanuel College, Cambridge|List of Masters of Emmanuel College]] ==Notes== {{Reflist|30em}} ==External links== {{commons category}} * [http://www.emma.cam.ac.uk/ Emmanuel College website] * [http://www.emmamayball.com/ Emmanuel College May Ball website] * [http://www.emmamcr.org.uk/ Emmanuel College Middle Combination Room (MCR)] * [http://ecsu.org.uk/ Emmanuel College Students' Union] {{University of Cambridge}} [[Category:1584 establishments in England]] [[Category:Educational institutions established in the 1580s]] [[Category:Colleges of the University of Cambridge]] [[Category:Christopher Wren buildings]] [[Category:Emmanuel College, Cambridge|Emmanuel College]] [[Category:Grade I listed buildings in Cambridge]] [[Category:Grade I listed educational buildings]] [[Category:Grade II* listed parks and gardens in Cambridgeshire]]'
