All Souls College was founded by Henry VI of England and Henry Chichele (Archbishop of Canterbury), in 1438. Unique to All Souls, all of its members automatically become Fellows; it has no undergraduate members, but each year recent graduates of the university and graduates of other universities are eligible to apply for Examination Fellowships through a competitive examination - once described as "the hardest exam in the world". Apart from massive brainpower, All Souls is also one of the richest colleges. Its chapel, shown here, was built between 1438 and 1442.
