In the course of the hearing, the Vice-Chancellor said, that any scheme of education, without religion, would be worse than a mockery.
John Owen, Dean of Christ Church to be distinguished from Thankful Owen, President of St John's seems to have been of a specially gay habit; when Vice-Chancellor "he had alwaies his hair powdred, cambric bands with large costly band strings, velvet jacket, his breeches set round at knee with ribbons pointed, Spanish leather boots with cambric tops, &c., all this was in opposition to prelattical cutt."
One of the earliest Registrars, Thomas Key of All Souls, was expelled from his post in 1552 for having during two years neglected to take any note of the University proceedings; he actually struck in the face another Master of Arts who was trying to detain him at the order of the Vice-Chancellor.
