Chapter XXVI 



Of the Famous Colleges in the City of Lima. 



1278. Of great value and usefulness in the youthful education of 

 the sons of this Kingdom are the three distinguished colleges in the 

 city of Lima — the Royal College of San Marcos, that of San Martin, 

 and that of San Toribio. Like nurseries or plantations, they turn 

 out young men who are an ornament to the religious orders, the 

 pulpits, and the professorial chairs, and they provide this noble 

 LTniversity with remarkable and admirable students. 



1279. The College of San Martin was founded by the Viceroy 

 Don Martin Enrriquez, who gave it a large income. It has 200 

 students ; they wear dark gray gowns and red sashes. This college 

 and its students are under the charge of the Fathers of the Company 

 of Jesus; ordinarily 16 of the Fathers are in attendance, with its 

 Rector, and they train them well in letters and virtue. 



The Royal College of San Marcos was founded by the Marques 

 de Canete, Don Garcia Hurtado de Mendoza. to the honor of his 

 name ; he provided an income sufficient for the sustenance and instruc- 

 tion of the students, who wear dark blue gowns with bright blue 

 sashes with royal crowns embroidered on them, since it is a royal 

 foundation for the sons of pioneers and worthy persons. 



1280. The College of Santo Toribio was founded by the saintly 

 Archbishop Don Toribio Alfonso Mogrovejo of glorious memory 

 (Marg. : and is patterned after the Colegio Mayor de Oviedo in 

 Salamanca, where he was a student). The collegians wear dark gray 

 gowns and purple sashes (Marg.: gown and sash being those of his 

 own college, and it has the same statutes and privileges). It is a 

 seminary, and the income for the support of its students was deter- 

 mined by the Council of Lima, which the saintly Archbishop cele- 

 brated in that city in the year 1583. with the attendance of all the 

 Bishops and Prelates of that Kingdom, the Spanish Main, Nicaragua, 

 Chile, Tucuman, and Rio de la Plata ; the curates and chaplaincies 

 contribute to this income, which serves for the services in the 

 Cathedral, its altar and choir and other ministries appertaining, as 

 well as for the college exercises. 



1281. Besides these colleges just mentioned there is another, 

 founded by the CathoHc piety of His Majesty with the sanction of 

 the gentlemen of the Supreme Council of the Indies, for Indian boys,
