TRINITY COLLEGE, a famous institution in Cambridge, England; founded by Henry VIII. in 1546 on the site and out of the revenues of Michael-house (1324), King's Hall (1337), and other ancient societies. To the 60 fellowships and scholarships of his foundation Queen Mary added 20 scholarships. The fellows, with certain exceptions, must take holy orders within seven years after their M. A., and the college may elect professors or other distinguished literary or scientific men to regular or honorary fellowships. The greatest of all the Cambridge colleges, Trinity, is more conspicuous for the extent than the special architectural beauty of its buildings. Noteworthy, however, are Nevill's Fountain, the three great gateways by which the three chief courts are entered, the Gothic Hall with its high-peaked roof, the chapel (redecorated 1875), the library designed by Wren, the Masters' Lodge, with its state rooms, where royalty and judges are received, and the rich collection of busts and statues of former members — of Newton by Roubillac, Person by Chantrey, Byron by Thorwaldsen, Barrow, Macauley, Whewell, Sedgewick, Tennyson, etc.

It was rebuilt and improved by Sir Thomas Pope, in 1554. A Renaissance chapel was built in 1694, in which is a fine altar-piece, and a beautiful carved screen.
TRINITY COLLEGE, or THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN, the largest and most important educational institution in Ireland. It is believed to have been founded by Queen Elizabeth in 1591, though some authorities assert that she merely endowed and Protestantized the school. These latter give the credit for its establishment to Alexander Bigner or Bignor, an ecclesiastic of the 13th century. It has extensive buildings which inclose several quadrangles. Corinthian columns ornament the principal front, the chapel has a Corinthian portico and the decorations of the fine library are also Corinthian.
TRINITY HOUSE, a name borne by five maritime societies of Great Britain situated in London, Hull, Newcastle-on- Tyne, Leith, and Dundee. Probably all, or most of them, were originally partly religious and partly secular establishments founded by seamen, their chief original objects being probably mutual assistance and the care of aged and infirm seamen. From the 14th century onward various public duties and privileges were assigned to them by royal charters or acts of Parliament, such as providing lighthouses, buoying channels, and licensing pilots; and powers were given to them to levy dues on shipping or cargoes. With one important exception, these duties and powers have been reduced or withdrawn. Dundee House is now only a benefit society. Leith retains its public duties as a pilotage authority, as also do Newcastle and Hull, while the last also looks after the lighthouses and buoys of the Humber. All of them continue to give pensions, or homes and pensions, to members, and some assistance to destitute seafarers.
