The Ceremonies Observed in the Senate-House of the University of Cambridge - With the Forms of Proceeding to All Degrees, the Manner of Electing Officers, Tables of Fees, and Other Articles Relating to the University (Paperback)

This revised edition of Adam Wall's 1798 guide to the formal ceremonies of the University of Cambridge - written by Henry Gunning (1764-1854), at the time Senior Esquire Bedell, and published in 1828 - was intended to help 'that very numerous Class, who are desirous of proceeding to their degrees, but are utterly at a loss what steps to take for that purpose'. It goes through the academic year, from Michaelmas Day to the 'Public Commencement' in July, explains the procedure for electing or appointing the university officers, from the Member of Parliament to the 'School-keeper and Bell-ringer', and lists the various fees (including Stamp Duty) payable by the students before proceeding to their degrees. Gunning expressed 'sincere acknowledgements to the Syndics of the Press for their liberality in defraying the expenses of this publication', testifying to close co-operation between the Press and the University on this fascinating project.
