The true reading is no doubt collectantes as in Pegge’s edition, not colluctantes as in the Rolls edition. Collections is a term still in use for college examinations at Oxford. Anciently it was a sort of “Speech Day” at which the masters collected fees of a more or less voluntary character from their pupils. 41.

Now in the Hunterian Museum, Glasgow; but there is an inaccurate transcription in the Guildhall Library MS. 44. An entry in the Patent Rolls 19 Henry VI. ii. 19, “Pro Scolaribus S. Trinitatis, London, et aliis” refers to the foundation of a College at Oxford for the reception of the students from all the houses of Augustinian canons in England, the Prior of Trinity being only the first of a list, to whom with the Abbot of Waltham, the Prior of Twineham (Christ Church, Hants), the Abbot of Leicester, the Priors of Guisborough, Bridlington, St. Oswald’s, Nostell, Hexham, and Carlisle, the Patent was addressed. This college was known as St. Mary’s College, and Erasmus himself, an Augustinian canon, lived there when at Oxford. The fact that the Augustinian houses each sent one or two of their own members as students to the university does not imply that they kept public grammar schools or did anything for general education. 45.

The common story of its being derived from the fact that Queen Elizabeth was eating goose on Michaelmas Day when she heard the news of the Spanish Armada is manifest nonsense, as the Armada was destroyed during the first week in August. 109.
