Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SHA-SIV
SION COLLEGE , in London, an institution founded as a college, gild of parochial clergy and almshouse, under the will (1623) of Dr
Thomas
  White,
vicar
  of St Dunstan's in the West. The clergy who benefit by the foundation are the incumbents of the City parishes, of parishes which adjoined the city bounds when the college was founded, and of parishes subsequently formed out of these. The
original
  buildings in London
Wall
  were on a site previously occupied by Elsing Spital, a
hospital
 
    See Also:
for the blind founded in 1329, and earlier still by a nunnery. They comprised the almshouses, a
hall
  and chapel, and the library added to the foundation by Dr John Simson,
rector
  of St Olave's, Hart Street, one of White's executors. There were also, at least originally, apartments for students. In 1884 the almshouses were abolished, and the almsfolk became out-pensioners. It was subsequently found possible to extend their numbers from the original number of to men and to women to 40 in all, and to increase the pension. In 1886 Sion College was moved to new buildings on the Victoria Embankment, and is now principally known for its theological library which serves as a lending library to members of the college, and is accessible to the public. A governing
body
  appointed by the members to administer the foundation consists of a president, two deans and four.assistants.
