His See also:foundation of the See also:College of See also:God's See also:Gift, commonly called Dulwich College, was opened with See also:great See also:state on the 13th of See also:September 1619, in the presence of See also:Lord See also:Chancellor See also:- BACON

According to the letters patent the See also:alms-See also:people and scholars were to be chosen in equal proportions from the parishes of St See also:Giles (See also:Camberwell), St Botolph without Bishopsgate, and St Saviour's (See also:Southwark), and " that See also:part of the See also:parish of St Giles without Cripplegate which is in the See also:county of See also:Middlesex." By a See also:series of statutes signed in 1626, a few days before his See also:death, Alleyn ordained that his school should be for the instruction of 8o boys consisting of three distinct classes:—(I) the twelve poor scholars; (2) See also:children of inhabitants of Dulwich, who were to be taught freely; and (3) " towne or See also:foreign schollers," who were " to pay such See also:allowance as the See also:master and wardens shall appoint." The almspeople consisted of six " poor brethren " and six " poor sisters," and the teaching and governing See also:staff of a master and a See also:warden, who were always to be of the founder's surname, and four See also:fellows, all " graduates and divines," among whom were apportioned the ministerial See also:work of the See also:chapel, the instruction of the boys, and the supervision of the almspeople. That it was the founder's intention to establish a great public school upon the See also:model of See also:Westminster and St See also:Paul's, with See also:provision for university training, is shown by the statutes; but for more than two centuries the educational benefits of God's Gift College were restricted to the twelve poor scholars. Successive actions at See also:law resulted in the ruling that it was not within the competence of the founder to divert any portion of the revenues of his foundation to the use of others than the members thereof, as specified in the letters patent. In 1842, however, some effort was made towards the realization of Alleyn's schemes, and in 1858 the foundation was entirely reconstituted by See also:act of See also:parliament. It comprises two See also:schools, the " Upper" and the " See also:Lower," now called respectively Dulwich College and Alleyn's school. In the Upper school, now one of the important See also:English ";public schools," there are classical, See also:modern, See also:science and See also:engineering sides. The Lower school is devoted to See also:middle-class See also:education. The buildings of the Upper school, by See also:Charles See also:Barry, contain a See also:fine See also:- HALL
