As for the modern "college of education", it was a body created for that purpose, for example <a href="/wiki/Eton_College" title="Eton College">Eton College</a> was founded in 1440 by <a href="/wiki/Letters_patent" title="Letters patent">letters patent</a> of King Henry VI for the constitution of a college <i>of Fellows, priests, clerks, choristers, poor scholars, and old poor men, with one master or governor</i>, whose duty it shall be to instruct these scholars and any others who may resort thither from any part of England in the knowledge of letters, and especially of grammar, without payment".<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Overview">Overview</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=College&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Overview"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Higher_education">Higher education</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=College&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Higher education"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Strand102.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/70/Strand102.jpg/170px-Strand102.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="227" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/70/Strand102.jpg/255px-Strand102.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/70/Strand102.jpg/340px-Strand102.jpg 2x" data-file-width="450" data-file-height="600" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/King%27s_College_London" title="King's College London">King's College London</a>, established by a <a href="/wiki/Royal_charter" title="Royal charter">Royal Charter</a> in 1829, is one of the founding colleges of the <a href="/wiki/University_of_London" title="University of London">University of London</a>.</figcaption></figure> <p>Within higher education, the term can be used to refer to:<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <ul><li>A constituent part of a <a href="/wiki/Collegiate_university" title="Collegiate university">collegiate university</a>, for example <a href="/wiki/King%27s_College,_Cambridge" title="King's College, Cambridge">King's College, Cambridge</a>, or of a federal university, for example <a href="/wiki/King%27s_College_London" title="King's College London">King's College London</a>.</li> <li>A <a href="/wiki/Liberal_arts_college" title="Liberal arts college">liberal arts college</a>, an independent institution of higher education focusing on undergraduate education, such as <a href="/wiki/Williams_College" title="Williams College">Williams College</a> or <a href="/wiki/Amherst_College" title="Amherst College">Amherst College</a>.</li> <li>A liberal arts division of a university whose undergraduate program does not otherwise follow a liberal arts model, such as the <a href="/wiki/Yuanpei_College" class="mw-redirect" title="Yuanpei College">Yuanpei College</a> at <a href="/wiki/Peking_University" title="Peking University">Peking University</a>.</li> <li>An <a href="/wiki/Institute" title="Institute">institute</a> providing specialised training, such as a college of <a href="/wiki/Further_education" title="Further education">further education</a>, for example <a href="/wiki/Belfast_Metropolitan_College" title="Belfast Metropolitan College">Belfast Metropolitan College</a>, a teacher training college, or an art college.</li> <li>A <a href="/wiki/Catholic_higher_education" title="Catholic higher education">Catholic higher education</a> institute which includes universities, colleges, and other institutions of higher education privately run by the Catholic Church, typically by religious institutes.
