that of the free imperial cities , by which , they sent deputies to the Chelsea German and Diet Dulwich , are also Colleges pertinent . * examples ; and among ourselves ,
It is worthwhile to remark in passing , that the word " Hospital " also originally bore a far more general meaning than it does at
present , and that instead of signifying a place endowed only for the temporary reception and cure of sick persons , it implied a place of
shelter and entertainment for travellers and pilgrims , or of permanent refuge for the aged and infirm . Greenwich Hospital and
Leicester ' s Hospital at Warwick still preserve their pristine use and name .
We have entered into these details to show how venerable is the collegiate institution , forming as it were an integral subdivision of
social life , from the days when , as the translators of our English Bible have expressed it , " Huldah the prophetesswife of Shallum
dwelt in Jerusalem in the college , " through the times , of the Roman , people who were thus gathered into orderly flocksdown to the

candidates for priestly orders , and such laymen as could afford it , were instructed . Thusunder the wing of those mighty churches in the
, heart of mediaeval cities , and in the secluded precincts of abbeys and priories hidden in the mountain valleys or nestling by the
woodland river , a love of learning was kept alive while centuries rolled , unheeding the stigma of the " dark ages " attached to their
. name ; and this sacred flame , ever intermingling with that of the religious life , was transmitted , by the help of manuscript literature
alone , in living fire from mind to mind , from heart to heart . Now early in the twelfth century , when Henry I . sat on the
English throne , and when the Italian Republics were in the dawn of their commercial and intellectual renown , a great man taught in
