The following information comes from St John's College website:
St John's College was founded in 1511 by Lady Margaret Beaufort, mother of King Henry VII. The second largest of the constituent Colleges of the University of Cambridge, it has about 135 Fellows, 530 undergraduates and 300 graduate students. The total current membership of the College, comprising in essence all those who have studied here, stands at around 12,000.
The aims of the College, as specified by its Statutes, are Education, Religion, Learning and Research. The College interprets them as follows:
Education The College aims to admit as undergraduates and graduate students those who have the highest potential for benefiting from the education provided by the College and the University, regardless of their financial, social, religious or ethnic background. The College provides teaching facilities, support (including pastoral care) and social, recreational and sporting facilities to enable each of its students to realise as much as possible of their academic and personal potential whilst studying here.
Religion The College aims to carry forward the tradition, maintained continuously since its foundation, of being a place of reflection on matters of religious faith. The College maintains the Chapel as a place of religious worship, in which the services are enriched by the College's outstanding choral tradition. The College maintains its connection with the work of the Church of England, particularly through its involvement as patron of a number of parishes.
Learning The College aims to provide an environment, within its walls and more broadly, in which knowledge and understanding, together with ways of increasing them, may be passed on and in which their value may be appreciated.
Research The College aims to promote research by providing Research fellowships for outstanding young academics, whatever their discipline, with a social and intellectual setting, and also practical support, which will enable them to develop their research at a crucial early stage of their careers before they undertake the full teaching and administrative duties of an academic post. Similarly, it supports the research work of its Fellows.
