Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made

First published in 1913, John Venn's collection of writings
describes college life in the early days of the University of
Cambridge. Venn, a leading British logician and moral scientist,
was president of Gonville and Caius College, and had been a student
at Cambridge in the 1850s. This volume of 'reminiscences of a
reading man' contains articles he contributed to the college
magazine, The Caian and speeches and addresses given at College
Chapel and Hall. These are interspersed with letters written by
seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Cambridge scholars, and
embedded in a commentary that provides additional insights into
student life and university politics. He also includes, as an
appendix, 'College Life and Ways Sixty Years Ago', recounting his
own student experiences. Ranging from the Elizabethan to the
Victorian era, Early Collegiate Life offers an honest and
delightful glimpse into the daily lives of Cambridge scholars of
the past.
'Grace books' were the volumes in which scribes recorded decisions
of the administration of the University of Cambridge during the
fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Many of the 'graces' concern the
conferral of degrees on individuals, but others refer to more
general University business including appointment of teachers and
preachers, leaves of absence, inventories and financial records,
and the resolution of disputes. The manuscript of Grace Book D
covers the years from 1542 to 1589 in its first 160 pages, which
are transcribed here. This edition was first published in 1910,
with an introduction by John Venn, who points out that during the
later sixteenth century many constitutional elements of the
university took shape which persisted until the Victorian reforms.
The documents in this volume constitute a valuable resource for
those researching British history and institutions in the later
Tudor period.
Originally published in 1915, this volume contains the names of all

conferred are included at the beginning of the text. This book will
be of value to anyone with an interest in Cambridge and its
history.

an interest in Cambridge and its history.
