Moved from article

Bear in mind, however, that Corpus Oxford have a system through which they collude with other Oxford colleges, therefore putting in doubt the input that members of the college actually have

I'm not sure what this means and can't find a reference for it to make more sense of it. --Alf melmac 21:03, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

headings

I see there hasn't been much talk for a while...Below are suggestions for different topic headings in the article. I have taken the Jesus College article as one source for the suggested headings since that is the only Oxford College article to achieve 'good' status (I think...):
Location and Buildings; Coat of arms (picture, heraldic description and explanation of origin); Student Life; College Silverware (especially as it is the only set to be included in the Ashmolean collection); Pelican Sundial; College prayers/Graces;Publications (most noticeably the Pelican Record)

Also, miscellaneous information to be slotted in somewhere:
which degrees available (no geography or modern languages); tortoises and the tortoise fair; Corpus Challenge; new auditorium; ratio of girls to boys and comp to grammar to private; college administrative structure; college as employer

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Corpus Christi College, Oxford/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

Needs more on the history and buildings, and a section about the college today (there is some modern-day info but it's all in the lead section). More refs! Casper Gutman 08:51, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:UK-2014-Oxford-Corpus Christi College 02.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on June 11, 2016.

Corpus Christi College, Oxford
Corpus Christi College is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. Founded in 1517, it is the 12th oldest college in Oxford, with a financial endowment of £112.6m as of 2015. Corpus Christi has a reputation for specializing in Classics, due to the emphasis placed upon this subject since the college's founding. The college was heavily involved in the translation of the King James Bible.
