Life
Bevans became a Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford in 1573. He gained a B.C.L. in 1579, a Cambridge LL.B. in 1581, and an Oxford D.C.L. in 1583.
Bevans was Principal of New Inn Hall, Oxford in 1585-6, and Principal of Jesus College from 1586 to 1602. He was also chancellor to Herbert Westfaling, Bishop of Hereford, and so spent much of his time as Principal in Hereford. In his absence, Griffith Powell (who was to become Principal himself in 1613) effectively ran the college during much of the time that Bevan was Principal. Bevans died in 1602, the same year as Westfaling.

Famous quotes containing the word life:
“Either life entails courage, or it ceases to be life.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“With only one life to live we can’t afford to live it only for itself. Somehow we must each for himself, find the way in which we can make our individual lives fit into the pattern of all the lives which surround it. We must establish our own relationships to the whole. And each must do it in his own way, using his own talents, relying on his own integrity and strength, climbing his own road to his own summit.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
“One should not confuse the craving for life with endorsement of it.”
—Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
