case, which has been raised more than thirty feet.

It would take up too much space merely to enumerate the distinguished men, who as Undergraduate mem- bers of the House owed not a little to their training herein, and by their subsequent career shed lustre upon Christ Church ; while to write their lives would in several instances be to transcribe pages of England's history.

The Arms now borne by Christ Church are those of Cardinal Wolsey : Sable, on a cross engrailed argent,

a lion passant gules between four leopards' faces azure ; on a chief or, a rose of the third, seeded of the fifth, and barbed vert, between two Cornish choughs proper.

The Badge is a Cardinal's Hat with five tassels.

The Motto, belonging to Wolsey, is Dominvs Mihi Aoivtor ; this was to be seen in the East Window of the Choir, which existed during the whole of the last and down to the middle of the present century.
