Though the student body rises for the recitation of the Grace, Christ's is one of the only Colleges in Cambridge where the students do not rise when the Fellows enter and leave the Dining Hall. This is said to be the result of a historical conflict between the Students and Fellows at Christ's, who were on opposite sides during the English Civil War. The words of the Grace are as follows: Notable people Proctors of God's House 1439–1451 William Byngham 1451–1458 John Hurt 1458–1464 William Fallan 1464–1477 William Basset 1477–1490 Ralph Barton 1490–1505 John Sickling Masters of Christ's Notable alumni References Bibliography (account of the history of God's House, originally published in 1934) External links Official Christ's College website Christ's JCR website Christ's MCR website Christ's biennial May Ball Exhibition celebrating 400 years since the birth of John Milton Cambridge 2000 — Christ's College photographs Colleges of the University of Cambridge Educational institutions established in the 1500s 1505 establishments in England Denys Lasdun buildings Grade I listed buildings in Cambridge Grade I listed educational buildings
