• The first provost was Adam Loftus, Archbishop of Dublin, after whose former college at Cambridge the institution was named, and he was provided with two initial fellows, James Hamilton and James Fullerton首任校务长是都柏林大主教亚当·洛夫特斯，学院即以其在剑桥的旧学院命名，他另有詹姆斯·汉密尔顿与詹姆斯·富勒顿两位初始学人协助
• Two years after the foundation a few fellows and students began to work in the new college, which then lay around one small square, and during the first fifty years the community increased its endowments, secured landed estates and established new fellowships and academic chairs建校两年后少数教师与学生开始在这所仅围绕一座小方院的学院中工作，此后五十年里学院不断增加基金、取得地产并设立新的学人席位与教席
• In 1613 King James I granted the college the right to elect two members of parliament to the Irish House of Commons, and in 1637 Charles I revised the letters patent, raising the number of fellows from seven to sixteen and creating the Board1613 年国王詹姆斯一世授予学院向爱尔兰下议院推选两名议员的权利，1637 年查理一世修订特许状，把学人席位由七席增至十六席并创设了校务委员会
