Templeton College, Oxford

Templeton College is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford, England. It is an all-graduate college, concentrating on the recruitment of students in business and management studies. The college was founded in 1965 as the Oxford Centre for Management Studies. It was renamed Templeton College in 1983 as a result of a donation from Sir John Templeton, in honour of his parents, Harvey Maxwell and Vella Handly Templeton. Initially a "society of entitlement" in the University, Templeton College began admitting graduate students in 1984 and became a full graduate college of the University by Royal Charter in 1995. In November 2005, the College transferred its executive education business to the Saïd Business School. On the 26th of February 2007 two bombs were found planted at Templeton College, Oxford.
