 The college formerly had a category of missionary Fellows , known as Leoline Fellows after their founder , Leoline Jenkins ( a former principal ) . In his will in 1685 , he stated that " It is but too obvious that the persons in Holy Orders employed in his Majesty 's fleet at sea and foreign plantations are too few . " To address this , he established two Fellowships at Jesus College , whose holders should serve as clergy " in any of his Majesty 's fleets or in his Majesty 's plantations " under the direction of the Lord High Admiral and the Bishop of London respectively . The last of these , Frederick de Winton , was appointed in 1876 and held his Fellowship until his death in 1932 . This category was abolished in 1877 by the Oxford and Cambridge Universities Commission , without prejudice to the rights of existing holders such as de Winton . Another category of Fellowship that was abolished in the 19th century was that of the King Charles I Fellows , founded by King Charles in 1636 and tenable by natives of the Channel Islands in an attempt by him to " reclaim the Channel Islands from the extreme Calvinism which characterised them . " The first such Fellow was Daniel Brevint .
