This report of the influential Royal Commission was first published
in 1852. It resulted from a thorough inquiry 'into the State,
Discipline, Studies, and Revenues of the University and Colleges of
Cambridge' overseen by distinguished Victorian figures including
the Bishop of Chester, George Peacock, Sir John F. W. Herschel, Sir
John Romilly and Adam Sedgwick. It includes details relating to the
foundation and constitution of the University; employed positions,
from Chancellor to Senate members; academic degrees offered;
professorships and faculty boards; financial particulars, such as
tuition fees, fellowships, and revenues; and facilities, including
colleges, laboratories, museums, libraries, hostels and the
University Press. This comprehensive account of the material and
human assets of the University of Cambridge during the nineteenth
century sheds light on the educational reforms which were then
gathering pace. It will be of interest to social and economic
historians of the Victorian period, and of the university.
