All Souls College, Oxford

The Warden and the College of the Souls of all Faithful People deceased in the University of Oxford or All Souls College is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in England.

Unique to All Souls, all of its members automatically become Fellows, i.e., full members of the College's governing body. It has no undergraduate members, but each year recent graduates of Oxford and other universities compete in "the hardest exam in the world" for Examination Fellowships.

It is one of the wealthiest colleges with a financial endowment of £220m (2010) but because the College's only source of revenue is its endowment, it ranks nineteenth among Oxford colleges with respect to total income.

The college is located on the north side of the High Street and also adjoins Radcliffe Square to the west. To the east is The Queen's College and to the north is Hertford College.

The current Warden is Professor Sir John Vickers, a graduate of Oriel College, Oxford.
