Trinity College Dublin (Irish: Coláiste na Tríonóide, Bhaile Átha Cliath), abbreviated as Trinity or TCD, officially titled The College of the Holy and Undivided Trinity of Queen Elizabeth near Dublin,[2] is the first and sole constituent college of the University of Dublin, Ireland.[21] It was founded in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth I,[22] who granted a royal charter on the advice of the Lord Chancellor of Ireland and former Archbishop of Armagh, Adam Loftus,[23] and it was modelled after the collegiate universities of Oxford and Cambridge, with whom Dublin shares a unique relation.[24] As one of the seven "ancient universities" of Great Britain and Ireland, Trinity has significantly influenced Irish literature, as well as areas of natural sciences and law.[25][26][27]

Functionally largely synonymous with the University of Dublin,[28] Trinity was established to consolidate the rule of the Tudor monarchy in Ireland, with its first Provost, Loftus, christening it after his alma mater, Trinity College, Cambridge.[29][30] It stands on the former grounds of the Priory of All Hallows which was abolished by King Henry VIII, and it served as the principal university of the ruling Ascendancy elite for over two centuries.[31][29] Academically, Trinity has three main faculties comprising 24 schools,[32][33] and undergraduate admissions are competitive,[34] with an average acceptance rate of 17%.[35][36] The Royal Irish Academy of Music, The Lir Academy, and the Marino Institute are associated colleges.[37][38] Trinity College Dublin is a sister college of both Oriel College, Oxford, and St John's College, Cambridge,[39] and by mutual incorporation, graduates of the three universities can be awarded Oxon, Cantab, et Dubl academic degrees.[40][41][42][43]

The college contains several landmarks such as the Campanile and The Rubrics,[44] as well as the historic Old Library. Trinity's legal deposit library serves both Ireland and the United Kingdom, and has housed the Book of Kells since 1661, the Brian Boru harp since 1782, and a copy of the Proclamation of the Irish Republic since 1916.[45] As a part of Ireland's tourism industry,[46] the campus receives over two million visitors annually,[47] partly due to its folklores,[48][49] and has been used as a location in numerous movies and novels.[50] The university was also involved in the First World War,[51] during the Defence of Gallipoli at the Dardanelles.[52][53]

Trinity is known for its rigor in literature;[54][55] alumni include playwrights Oscar Wilde and Samuel Beckett, satirists Jonathan Swift and William Congreve, poet Oliver Goldsmith, novelists Bram Stoker and David Benioff, philosophers George Berkeley and Edmund Burke, and writers J. P. Donleavy and J. S. Le Fanu.[56] Trinity is affiliated with the recipients of 29 Legion of Honor, five Pour le Mérite, six Victoria Cross, and six Copley Medals;[57] along with eight Nobel Laureates, 56 Fellows of the Royal Society, five Heads of State, 34 Royal Irish Academy Presidents, and 14 Chief Justices.[58] Alumni include 63 Olympians,[59][60] eight Schwarzman Scholars,[61] 152 Laidlow Scholars,[62] 79 Fulbright Scholars,[63] and 65 Mitchell Scholars.[64]

The name is, of course, a reference to the Christian doctrine that defines God as three consubstantial entities (via a tribute to Trinity College, Cambridge).
    The Trinity was the patron of The Dublin Guild Merchant, primary instigators of the foundation of the University, the arms of which guild are also similar to those of the College.
