From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A list of alumni of St John's College, Oxford , former students of the college of the University of Oxford . The overwhelming maleness of this list is partially explained by the fact that for over 90% of its history (from its foundation in 1555 until 1979), women were barred from studying at St John's.[1] The college maintains a growing list of profiles of prominent recent alumni on its website.[2]
