To explain about them... I need to go back to when I first started thinking about educational facilities.
Someday, I want all the people of the "Covenant" to receive education.
And naturally, it's impossible for me alone to devise a perfect curriculum and teach them perfectly.
First, I needed scholars who could work with me on such a task.
Also, I needed someone who had experienced systematic education in some way.
Then, as it happened, Elizabeth discovered my identity, and not long after, I made a proposal to the Queen.
How about sending exchange students from Virginia to famous English universities for smooth mutual exchange between the two countries?
The Queen's courtiers influenced me through Raleigh by saying things like, "Ah, I'm an Oxford graduate, and it was truly a beautiful place with excellent professors..." or "Compared to Cambridge, Oxford can hardly be called a university! A vibrant hall of learning..." and so on.
Anyway, the Queen gladly accepted.
