College Foundations 1401-1600

This storyline covers a long period of history, in which colleges were founded at a steady rate, though not all with the same motivation.

For example, it starts with a monastic foundation. Then, in the first half of the 16th century foundations typically owed their existence to the dissolution of the monastries. Puritans founded the last two colleges in this profile.
