Emmanuel College is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge. The college was founded in 1584 by Sir Walter Mildmay Chancellor of the Exchequer to Elizabeth I. The site on which the college sits was once a priory for Dominican monks and the College Hall is built on the foundations of the monastery's nave. Emmanuel is one of the 16 "old colleges" which were founded before the 17th century. Emmanuel today is one of the larger Cambridge colleges; it has around 500 undergraduates reading almost every subject taught within the University and around 200 postgraduates. Among Emmanuel's notable alumni are Thomas Young John Harvard Graham Chapman and Sebastian Faulks. Three members of Emmanuel College have received Nobel Prizes: Ronald Norrish George Porter both Chemistry 1967 and Frederick Hopkins Medicine 1929. In every year from 1998 until 2016 Emmanuel was among the top five colleges in the Tompkins Table which ranks colleges according to end-of-year examination results. Emmanuel topped the table five times 2003 2004 2006 2007 and 2010 and placed second six times 2001 2002 2008 2009 2011 and 2012.
