Dulwich College is an independent, fee-paying public school in Dulwich, a suburb of south-east London, United Kingdom. It was founded in 1619 by Edward Alleyn, a successful Elizabethan actor, with the original purpose of educating 12 poor scholars as the foundation of "God's Gift". It currently has about 1450 boys, of which 120 are boarders. This makes it one of the largest (in terms of numbers of pupils) public schools in the UK. The school owns a boathouse on the Thames, the base for Dulwich College Boat Club as well as large grounds around Dulwich. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

History

1619: Foundation: The College of God's Gift at Dulwich

Founder's Day at Dulwich College is celebrated on 21 June to mark the anniversary of the signing in 1619 of the letters patent by James I authorising Edward Alleyn to establish a college in Dulwich to be called 'the College of God's Gift, in Dulwich in Surrey'. ^[1] The term Dulwich College was used colloquially from that date, such as in 1675 when John Evelyn described his visit to Dulwich College in his diary^[2]. However, for at least 263 years this colloquialism was incorrect as the school was part of the overall charitable Foundation. ^[3] Edward Alleyn, as well as being a famous Elizabethan actor, was also a man of great property and wealth, derived mainly from places of entertainment including theatres, bear-gardens^[4] and brothels^[5]. All of these ventures were legitimate at the time and rumours that Alleyn turned his attention towards charitable pursuits out of fear for his moral well-being have been traced to the journalist George Sala and discredited.^[4] Since 1605, Alleyn had owned the manorial estate of Dulwich, and it may have been around this time that he first had the idea of establishing a college or hospital for poor people and the education of poor boys. ^[1] The building on Dulwich Green of a chapel, a schoolhouse and twelve almshouses, began in 1613 and was completed in the autumn of 1616. On September 1, 1616 the chapel was consecrated by the Archbishop of Canterbury who became the official Visitor. However, Edward Alleyn faced objections from Francis Bacon, the Lord Chancellor, in getting the patent of incorporation that was necessary to secure the Foundation's status as a college. It was Alleyn's persistence that led to the foundation being endowed by James I’s signing of the letters patent. ^[1] is the 172nd day of the year (173rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

The charity originally consisted of a Master, Warden, four fellows, six poor brothers, six poor sisters and twelve poor scholars who became the joint legal owners of Alleyn’s endowment of the manor and lands of Dulwich, collectively known as the Members of the College.^[1] The poor brothers and sisters and scholars were to be drawn from the four parishes which were most closely tied to Alleyn (being St Botolph's Bishopsgate where he was born, St Giles, Middlesex where he had built his Fortune Theatre, St Saviour's Southwark where he had the Paris Bear Garden, and St Giles Camberwell where the College was founded)^[6]. The business of the charity was conducted in the name of these thirty members by the Master, Warden and four Fellows (Chaplain, Schoolmaster, Usher and Organist). ^[3]

Alleyn drew upon the experience of other similar establishments in order to formulate the statutes and ordinances of the College (including borrowing the statutes of the already ancient Winchester College and visiting the more contemporary establishments of Sutton's Hospital (now Charterhouse School) and Croydon's Hospital (now Whitgift School))^[7]. Amongst the many statutes and ordinances signed by Alleyn that pertained to the charitable scheme were provisions that the scholars were entitled to stay until they were eighteen. And to be taught in good and sound learning’…’that they might be prepared for university or for good and sweet trades and occupations. ^[8] Another stipulation was that the Master and Warden should always be unmarried and of Alleyn's blood, and surname, and if the former was impossible then at least of Alleyn’s surname.^[9] Alleyn also made provision that the people of Dulwich should be able to have their men children insructed at the school for a fee as well as children from outside Dulwich for a separate fee.^[9] Winchester College is a well-known boys independent school, and an example of a British public school, in the city of Winchester in Hampshire, England. ...

The next two centuries were beset by both external difficulties such as diminshing financial fortunes and failing buildings as well as internal strife between the various Members of the College over problems both major and minor. The Official Visitor, the Archbishop of Canterbury, whose function was to see that the statutes were obeyed, was called in many times to sort out these issues.^[10] The lack of a disinterested body of governors and having no official connection to the Universities of Oxford or Cambridge contributed significantly to the school not fulfilling Alleyn's vision in its first two centuries.^[11] Some notable Masters did preside over the College in this time including James Allen (the first Master to drop the 'y' from his surname) who in 1741 made over to the college six houses in Kensington, the rents fo which were to be used in the establishment of two little schools in Dulwich, one for boys from the village, the other for girls to read and sew, from which James Allen's School for Girls arose. // Events April 10 - Austrian army attack troops of Frederick the Great at Mollwitz August 10 - Raja of Travancore defeats Dutch East India Company naval expedition at Battle of Colachel December 19 - Vitus Bering dies in his expedition east of Siberia December 25 - Anders Celsius develops his own thermometer scale Celsius...

1808: Dulwich College Building Act

Having already obtained an Act in 1805 allowing them the to enclose and devlop 130 acres of common land within the manor, the College was granted the power by the 1808 Dulwich College Building Act to extend the period of which leases ran from twenty-one years as laid down by Alleyn, to eighty-four years, thus attracting richer tenants and bringing in vast sums of money.^[11] The additional wealth of the College eventually resulted in the Charity Commission setting up an enquiry into the advisability of widening the application of the funds to those extra beneficiaries Alleyn had specified in later amending clauses to the foundation's original statutes. Although the Master of the Rolls, Lord Langdale rejected the appeal in 1841 on the grounds that Alleyn had no right to alter the original statutes, he did express dissatisfaction with the college's provision of education.^[12] Immediately following this criticism, the Dulwich College Grammar School was established in 1842 for the education of poor boys from Dulwich and Camberwell. To this school were transferred the boys of the James Allen Foundation, leaving James Allen's school to be for girls only. The Old Grammar School, as it became known, was erected in 1841 opposite the Old College, having been designed by Sir Charles Barry, the architect of the Palace of Westminster. It still exists today.^[13] The foundation scholars of the College, however, continued to receive an education far short of Alleyn's vision despite further attempts at reform by the Visitor. In 1854, the College was investigated by a new Commission set up by the 1853 Charitable Trusts Act and the scheme resulting from their investigation led to the 1857 Dulwich College Act. ^[14] An acre is the name of a unit of area in a number of different systems, including Imperial units and United States customary units. ...

1857: Alleyn's College of God's Gift

The 'College of God's Gift' became Alleyn's College of God's Gift when, on 25 August 1857 the Dulwich College Act dissolved the existing cooperation and the charity was reconstituted with the new name. When the charity was reconstituted in 1857 it was split into two parts with a joint Board of Governors: the educational (for the college) and the eleemonsynary (for the charity). The Master, Warden, four fellows and 12 servants were pensioned off although Alleyn's wishes were, and continue to be respected, as sixteen pensioners (being the equivalent of 12 poor brothers and sisters plus four fellows) still live in flats in the Old College looked after by a Warden. As for the Master, he was to still be appointed as the head of the new school. The Master of the College in this new form was Reverend Alfred Carver (Master from April 1857 to April 1883), he was also the first Master not to share the name of the school's founder "Alleyn" (or latterly "Allen"). ^[14] The educational college was split into an Upper and Lower school. The Upper school was for boys between 8 and 18 to be taught a wide and detailed syllabus and continued to be colloquially referred to as Dulwich College^[15]. The Lower school being for boys between 8 and 16, with lower fees and a syllabus aimed at children of the industrial and poorer classes. The Lower School was the incorporation of the boys from the grammar school established in the previous decade^[14] and was referred to as Alleyn's College of God's Gift, although this was the name of the complete charitable foundation. ^[3] During the 1860s, when the Old College was under repair and the New College had yet to be built, both the Upper and Lower schools were housed in the building of Dulwich College Grammar School.

1870: The New College

It was during the decades immediately following the reconstitution that the College started establishing its identity as one of the great public schools. Dulwich College was included in Howard Staunton's 1865 book, The Great Schools of England. who wrote of the unusually comprehensive [scheme of instruction] and by the mid 1860s such was the enhanced reputation of the school that the pressure for places led to the introduction of a competitive examination. ^[16] In the summer of 1869 the upper school took possession of the current site, referred to as the New College, but it was not until Founder's Day (June 21) 1870 that the new college was officially opened by the Prince and Princess of Wales.^[17] The new college buildings, sited in the 60 acres of Dulwich Common, were designed by Charles Barry, Jr. (the eldest son of Sir Charles Barry). ^[18]The lower school alone continued to occupy the Old College in Dulwich Village from 1870 until it was moved to its new (and current) premises in 1887.^[3] 1865 (MDCCCLXV) is a common year starting on Sunday. ... 1869 (MDCCCLXIX) is a common year starting on Friday (link will take you to calendar) of the Gregorian calendar or a common year starting on Sunday of the 12-day-slower Julian calendar. ... is the 172nd day of the year (173rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... 1870 (MDCCCLXX) was a common year starting on Saturday (link will display the full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar (or a common year starting on Monday of the 12-day slower Julian calendar). ...

1882: Dulwich College separated from Alleyn's School

Despite its growing reputation, the College was the focus of pressure by the Charity Commissioners and other parties (including the Board of Governors and the outlying parishes named in Edward Alleyn's will) to reorganise it and divert much of its endowment to other schemes. The Master, Canon Carver, resisited these pressures for many years finally winning an appeal in 1876 at the highest possible point (the Privy Council) where Lord Selbourne ruled in his favour. In 1882, the Charity Commissioners finally issued a scheme which Canon Carver found acceptable. This passed into law by Act of Parliament and resulted in the Upper and Lower schools being officially split into separate institutions. The Upper School became Dulwich College (officially for the first time) and the Lower became Alleyn's School.^[22] Both schools remained within the Alleyn's College of God's Gift charitable foundation (along with James Allen's Girls' School, St Olave's and St Saviour's Grammar School, and the three Central Foundation schools in Finsbury and Bishopsgate). Two Boards of Governors came into being. Both Dulwich College and Alleyn's School were to be managed by the College Governors who also administered the Chapel and Picture Gallery. The Estates and Almshouses were placed in the hands of the Estates Governors. It is under this arrangement that the Foundation and the College are still governed. Dulwich College's income is derived from the contributions made to it by the Estates Governors, among whom the College Governors are well represented (having eight of the twenty five places)^[23] Canon Carver retired at this point, being the first headmaster to be both appointed and retired by Act of Parliament.^[24] Year 1876 Pick up Sticks(MDCCCLXXVI) was a leap year starting on Saturday (link will display the full calendar) of the Gregorian Calendar (or a leap year starting on Thursday of the 12-day slower Julian calendar). ...

The term should not be confused with Alleyn's Old Boys used for alumni of Alleyn's School. Current pupils of the school are known as Alleynians. It should be noted that the terms Alleynian and Old Alleynian were not used until around 1880 before which the pupils and ex-pupils were known as Dulwichians.^[25] Old Alleynians have achieved eminence in many fields.

Boarding Houses

Boarders now belong to one of three boarding houses^[26], although the number of boarding houses has fluctuated over time. Those up to the age of sixteen (Year 11) live in The Orchard, whilst boys of the Upper School (Year 12 and Year 13) live in either Ivyholme or Blew House.^[26] However, the College has not always had just these three boarding houses. A boarding school is a usually fee-paying school where some or all pupils not only study, but also live during term time, with their fellow students and possibly teachers. ...

After the College was reconstituted in 1857 most of the boys were day-boys but provision was made for boarders, and the Governors licensed three boarding houses to be kept by respectable ladies in the village (hence they were then known as dames' houses). A fourth was added soon afterwards.^[27] The number of functioning boarding houses has fluctuated between one and five since that point and in total there have been six different houses: 1857 was a common year starting on Thursday (see link for calendar). ...

This eighteenth century building close to Dulwich Picture Gallery became the family home of the Master of the College in 1927^[33] who until then had lived with his family in the south block of the New College. The Master moved out of this premises during the Second World War into Ivyholme. When Ivyholme reopened as a boarding house it was decided that the Master should not return to Bell House because it was too large for the purposes of a family residence. The Master moved to The Chestnuts and then in 1949 to Elm Lawn.^[32] Meanwhile, Bell House was adpated as a boarding house and became the second junior house, replacing Elm Lawn. In [[1993] it was returned to private ownership as the College recognised the lack of need for a second junior boarding house.

This trophy was presented to the College prior to the Second World War. It was a trophy competed for by boarders only presented by an Old Alleynian, A.G.Gordon.

The trophy is no longer competed for.^[34] Mushroom cloud from the nuclear explosion over Nagasaki rising 18 km into the air. ...

Day Houses

All boys are members of one of eight day houses or Athletic Houses as they were originally known.^[34]. The Houses were the brainchild of W.D. ('Scottie') Gibbon, an assistant master and rugby coach.^[34]. The idea was decided upon in 1919 and in the school magazine, The Alleynian, of March 1920 the process was described. The division would be into six houses to be named after distinguished Englishmen of the Elizabethan period^[35] (see table below). The name of Shakespeare was omitted as being considered pre-eminent.^[36] Upon their original creation Boarders and Day Boys were divided thus: Grenville included Blew House, Marlowe included The Orchard, Spenser included Elm Lawn, Sidney included Ivyholme and two entirely Day-boy houses were created: Drake and Raleigh.^[36] The House System is a traditional feature of British schools, similar to the collegiate system of a university. ...

The athletic houses were created to improve the standard of games at the College which had deteriorated during the First World War. Prior to the creation of these houses, the most keenly anticipated matches were the Boarders vs Day-Boys or the Prefects vs The Rest of the School. The Athletic Houses produced, and still produce Big Sides and Little Sides for competition^[34], Big Sides being Houses teams that include players who also represent the school and Little Sides being House sides which do not contain school sporting representatives. Boys are placed in a house through family connection where possible (e.g. if their father had been in Marlowe then so to would they be in Marlowe). Where no connection exists the placing is random. The houses continue to compete in sporting competitions, with cultural competitions (such as music, drama, chess and debating) having also been added.^[35] The Cock House Shield or Cup are presented to the leading House at the end of the school year taking into account all competitions.^[36] 1920 (MCMXX) was a leap year starting on Thursday. ...

School Magazine

The Dulwich College school magazine is called the Alleynian named after the school's founder Edward Alleyn. This magazine was first published in 1873 although the school's first magazine under the name the Dulwich College Magazine for School News and General Reading had been published in 1864 but only lasted for fourteen issues after its editor left for Cambridge University.^[37]. The Alleynian was edited at one point by P.G.Wodehouse in his last year at the school.^[38] The magazine is still published today. 1873 (MDCCCLXXIII) was a common year starting on Wednesday (see link for calendar). ...

School song

Pueri Alleynienses, quotquot annos, quotquot menses
Fertur principum memoria,
Vivit Fundatoris nomen, unicae virtutis omen
Detur soli Deo Gloria.
by J E C Welldon, Master of Dulwich College 1883-1885

Roughly translated, this means:

Boys of Alleyn, may our forefathers' memory
Endure through as many years and as many months as there may be,
The Founder's name lives on, a promise of unparalleled virtue to come,
Glory be given to God alone.

School Arms

When Edward Alleyn founded the school he designed a coat of arms and crest. This was used by the school until, in 1935, it was decreed by the College of Arms that it was the exclusive property of Edward Alleyn and his family.^[39] The new arms granted by the College of Arms were very similar to the old ones retaining most of the features. Deism and learning is represented by the flames in the crest. From the ring of flames an arm with a hand holding a heart protrudes. This probably symbolises charity^[39] and has a twofold meaning. First, it represents Alleyn's charitable intentions, and second it recalls Alleyn's most famous speech, written by Ben Jonson, when he presented King James I with the flaming heart of London during The Magnificant Entertainment, a procession by which the City of London welcomed King James I from Scotland in 1604. The lower portion of the shield incorporates the original shield being an argent (silver) background on which are placed a chevron (bent bar) dividing three cinquefoils gules (red five pointed stars).^[40] It should be noted that the motto was written as Detur Soli Deo Gloria^[41] prior to 1935 as per the school song, but now appears as Detur Gloria Soli Deo on the current Coat of Arms.

Academic achievement

In the 1960s and 70s, when the majority of pupils entered on local authority scholarships, the school had an outstanding academic record, regularly gaining fifty or more places at Oxbridge and considered among the top ten academic schools in the country. More recently, by this measure and according to published league tables, Dulwich's academic achievement, is still very good. Of the three Foundation Schools it ranks last place at GCSE , behind Alleyn's and JAGS. However, it is ranked behind Alleyn's but ahead of JAGS in the A/AS tables. ^[42]. With regard to GCSE results, the College's results may be understated, as boys take the IGCSE in English and this result is not shown on the league tables.

Recent developments

Although it has always been a private foundation, for some time in the middle of the 20th century a large percentage of pupils entered on scholarships funded by local authorities in and around Greater London. Known as "the Dulwich Experiment", it created one of the most socially mixed, meritocratic and high-achieving schools in the country. Under successive Labour administrations, these "assisted places" gradually disappeared and were abolished in 1997. Apart from its own scholarships, the school is now entirely fee-paying, but has the long term aim of increasing its means tested bursary awards. The College remains one of the highest ranking public schools in London, with rivals such as St Paul's and Westminster vying for second place.

Alleyn's and JAGS belong to the same foundation, and the college has also founded international schools in Phuket, Shanghai and Beijing. All of the franchise schools are built in the notable red-brick style of the London School, but with modern and oriental twists on the theme. Recently the school's franchise in Phuket ended its association with Dulwich due to disagreements over the curriculum; it was then known as "Dulwich College International school, Phuket" and now simply "British International School, Phuket".

Collections

At the College

The school has a very extensive archive, especially of material relating to drama and the arts, much of which is from Edward Alleyn's (the founder) own library^[39].

Dulwich Picture Gallery

Alleyn's College was also bequeathed a large collection of paintings by Francis Bourgeois in 1811, which had originally been intended to form the nucleus of the Polish King's collection. Following the partitions of Poland the paintings were left to the College, which set up the Dulwich Picture Gallery under a trusteeship in a building designed by Sir John Soane, which became Britain's first public art gallery. The Gallery is now run under the auspices of the board of the estate's governors, which now acts as the foundation's overseer.

Use of the College in films

Because of its proximity to Central London and its combination of impressive architecture and partly "rural" look it has been a popular location for filming and photography for feature films, docu-dramas and adverts. It is actively advertised as a location by "Dulwich College Enterprises", the for-profit business side of the school.

Recently, Dulwich College was used as part of the film set for the Tomb Raider film, and Legally Blonde. In Tomb Raider, Lara Croft can be seen in the College Great Hall during the auction at the beginning of the film.
