介紹

它建立是為了紀念百年戰爭戰死者的英靈。與其它牛津學院的不同之處在於它沒有自己的學生。每一年,萬靈學院都會補充新成員,即邀請牛津大學中最優秀的學生參加由萬靈學院組織一場考試,其中最出色的兩名學生將會成為萬靈學院的新成員。成為萬靈學院的成員在英國被認為是最高的榮譽
學院是由亨利六世(Henry Chichele)於1438年為紀念反法庭之役去世的戰士所建。學院構架在建立之後都沒有再改變過。如今學院是主要一個學術研究機構。

All Souls College, Oxford
All Souls College (in full: The College of All Souls of the Faithful Departed, of Oxford) is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom.
All Souls is an oddity among Oxford colleges in that it has no students. Its members automatically become Fellows, i.e., academics who are full governing members of the College.
Every year, the top finalists of the University are invited to sit the examination for fellowship of the College. About two are elected to fellowship each year. Fellowship of All Souls is thus regarded as one of the highest academic honours in the United Kingdom. These Fellows are known as Prize Fellows, their term of office is seven years and roughly a dozen are at the college at any one time. Other categories of fellowship include Senior Research Fellows, Post-Doctoral Research Fellows, Fifty-Pound Fellows (open only to former Fellows no longer holding posts in Oxford) and Distinguished Fellows. There are also many Professorial Fellows who hold their fellowships by reason of their University post.

學院與慈善委員會(註冊號1138057)註冊的慈善機構。
As of January 2015 there are seventy-six Fellows of All Souls, twenty-three Visiting Fellows, eight Honorary Fellows, and thirty-two Emeritus (i.e. retired academic) Fellows, whose continuing research the College actively supports. Of the current Fellows, thirty-three are academics entirely funded by All Souls (as Senior Research Fellows, Post-Doctoral Fellows, and Examination Fellows), seventeen are academics with Oxford University positions attached to All Souls, and the rest include academics at other universities, non-academics (e.g. barristers), former Fellows who have attained distinction in public life, and the College Chaplain, Fellow Librarian, and Bursars. The non-academic Fellows play an important part in the governance of the College and help connect academic and public life, notably in law, economics, and politics and international relations.
Through the Examination Fellowships and Post-Doctoral Fellowships, the College is strongly committed to academics at an early stage of their careers. At the same time the College has twenty-two Fellows of the British Academy (and a further twenty-one amongst its Emeritus Fellows), and three Fellows of the Royal Society.
The College is a charity registered with the Charity Commission (Registration number 1138057).
