Excerpt from New College This book was originally undertaken by Mr. Rashdall. Being at the time occupied with other literary work, he was unable to begin it till the series was approaching completion. To expedite the fulfilment of his task, Mr. Rait consented to assist in the work. The chapter on the College buildings and that on the 'Age of Reform' have been for the most part written by Mr. Rait, the rest by Mr. Rashdall, but Mr. Rait's collaboration has extended to the whole of the work. It may be convenient here to give a short account of the materials at our disposal. It must be confessed that, considering the long life and importance of the College, the amount of interesting matter available is disappointingly small. The original sources for the life of the founder are a short account written in a copy of Pope Nicholas' Taxation for Adam of Orlton, Bishop of Winchester from 1333 to 1345, and another prefixed to the Register of Winchester College, written by Robert Heete, a Fellow of that College, and dated 'the twentieth year after the death of the said father' - i.e., 1424.
