John Willis Clark (1833-1910) devoted his life to the University of
Cambridge, and this 1913 memoir by A. E. Shipley, Master of
Christ's College, was a fitting tribute to a much admired man. His
father was professor of anatomy, and his maternal uncle, Robert
Willis, Jacksonian professor of natural philosophy. A scholar and
fellow of Trinity College, his talent and energy as an
administrator led to his appointment as superintendent of the
museum of comparative anatomy, and he considerably improved the
museum's collection. From natural history his interests were
diverted in 1875 - his uncle died, leaving his monumental
Architectural History of the University unfinished, and it was
Clark who completed it in 1886. In 1891 he became Registrary of the
University, which he remained until 1910, and was one of the
best-known figures in Cambridge, involved with everything from
administrative reform to student activities such as the triennial
Greek play.
