In the mid-nineteenth century, a royal commission was appointed to
investigate 'the state, discipline, studies, and revenues' of
Cambridge University, and eventually recommended radical reforms.
As part of its brief, it gathered records that had been preserved
for centuries as the university evolved. Published in three volumes
in 1852 under the title Documents Relating to the University and
Colleges of Cambridge, the compilation, much of it in its original
Latin, charts the university's emergence as one of the world's
leading academic institutions and the challenges it faced along the
way. This material remains a valuable resource for historians of
British education and society. Volume 3 includes the original
charters and statutes for ten of the colleges, from Magdalene
(founded 1428) to Downing (1800), as well as decrees, deeds and, in
the case of Trinity, royal letters.
