This short history of Pembroke College, Cambridge appeared in 1936,
during a particularly successful period for the college in terms of
both academic and sporting achievements. Pembroke was founded in
1347, when Edward III granted Marie de St Pol, widow of the Earl of
Pembroke, a licence for the foundation of a new educational
establishment in the young University of Cambridge. The college
flourished, and from the mid-nineteenth century expanded greatly.
The author of this book, which is still regarded as the 'official
history of Pembroke College', was a leading authority on the
college's history. However, he died before the manuscript could be
completed, and the final part was written as a postscript by S. C.
Roberts, a former Master of the college. The book has delightful
illustrations and a thorough index of the influential scholars,
former students and benefactors connected with the college over the
centuries.
