About This Book

A series of essays assembled from lectures and society papers traces the local history and institutional life of Trinity College and the University of Cambridge. Topics range from the college's sixteenth-century foundation and architectural plans to the tutorial system, disciplinary arrangements, and collegiate ceremonies and treasures. Several chapters explore academic questions, including Newton's Principia and its effect on university studies, the development of the Mathematical Tripos, and the role of Westminster scholars. Shorter pieces recount episodes, designs by Wren, and student customs, while the preface explains the pieces are printed largely as originally delivered, preserving their topical and domestic perspective.

Transcriber’s notes

Both “primâ facie” and “prima facie” retained in line with the author’s inconsistent usage. Hyphenation of commonwealth/common-wealth not regularised because the latter form occurs only within a quote from a seventeenth-century source. The author's inconsistent use of italics for abbreviating shillings and pence retained.
