Description
Excerpt from The University of Cambridge: From the Royal Injunctions of 1535, to the Accession of Charles the First
The period comprised within the present volume, although somewhat less than a hundred years, can hardly but be regarded as the most important in Cambridge uni versity history prior to the present century. It was the time when the code by which, with little modification, the university was governed for nearly three centuries, was, notwithstanding strenuous opposition, first introduced,_ and the ancient constitution of the academic community thereby almost subverted. It was the time of the foundation of four of the colleges, among them the most considerable of the entire number. And it was the time when those trammels were thrown over our higher national education from which it has but lately been set free.
