Trinity Hall, Cambridge
University of Cambridge, founded in 1350 by Bishop Bateman of Norwich; the college was intended to teach canon law to students to replace priests lost to the Black Death plague of the 1340s.
It is a relatively small institution when compared to its larger but younger neighbour, Trinity College, founded in 1547, with whom it has a certain rivalry. Allegedly, there was once a rather noisy event held in Trinity Hall, and members of Trinity College asked them to reduce the noise level, to which Trinity Hall responded along the lines of "We were here first". This rivalry has supposedly continued from Trinity College's foundation, when the then 'Halls' were starting to call themselves 'Colleges', when the foundation of Trinity College prevented Trinity Hall from doing the same.
