ABOUT the year 1282 Elias de Hertford converted into a hall for students certain premises in Oxford, which were thereafter known by the name of Hertford, Hert, or Hart Hall.
In 1740 Dr Richard Newton, then Principal of Hart Hall, obtained a charter of incorporation for the society, under the title of 'The Principal and Fellows of Hertford College, in the University of Oxford'. In 1805 no Principal having been appointed within the time required by the statutes, the College was in consequence declared to have been dissolved at the death of the last Principal. A part of the property of the dissolved College was transferred to the University, and the Hertford Scholarship was endowed therefrom. The remainder was transferred to Magdalen Hall under the following circumstances.
Magdalen Hall, for a long period a dependency of Magdalen College, and governed by one of the fellows of that college, became, in 1602, an independent Hall. In 1816 the President and Fellows of Magdalen College, being desirous of recovering the site of the Hall, obtained an Act of Parliament (56 Geo. 111, c. 136), enabling them to acquire for Magdalen Hall the site and buildings previously occupied by Hertford College. The Principal and other members of the Hall were accordingly removed to these premises in 1822, and received, as stated above, the residue of the property formerly held by Hertford College.
In 1874 an Act was passed (37 & 38 Vict. c. 55) by which Magdalen Hall was dissolved, and the Principal and Scholars thereof were, together with certain fellows mentioned in the Act, incorporated as a college of the University of Oxford under the name of 'The Principal, Fellows, and Scholars of Hertford College, in the University of Oxford', and invested with 'all such rights and privileges as are possessed or enjoyed or can be exercised by other colleges in the University of Oxford'.
The Governing Body of the College consists at present of the Principal and fortythree fellows. Dr Lee's Professorship of Anatomy, the Professorship of Geography, the Professorship of Chemical Biology, the Carroll Professorship of Irish History, and Donald Pollock Professorship of Chemical Engineering are allocated by the Hebdomadal Council under University statute to the College, The College will offer about twenty-five awards each year to undergraduates in residence. The annual value of these awards is governed by the statutes made for the college by the University of Oxford Commissioners acting in pursuance of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge Act, 1923, and is in no case more than £200.
The corporate designation of the College is 'The Principal, Fellows and Scholars of Hertford College in the University of Oxford'.
