    Founded in 1263, Balliol is one of Oxford’s oldest colleges and is the oldest academic institution in the English-speaking world still on its original site. English Prime Minister Boris Johnson attended Balliol from 1983 to 1987, graduating with a BA in Classics. Johnson is the fourth Prime Minister to have attended Balliol; the others were H.H. Asquith (Balliol 1869), Harold Macmillan (1912), and Edward Heath (1935).
    Balliol College is one of the constituent colleges of Oxford University; it was founded around 1263. His students are traditionally among the most politically active at the university, and former college graduates include several prime ministers.
