Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book celebrates two anniversaries in the long history of this College. It is 660 years since its College's first foundation by Edmund Gonville in 1348 and 450 years since the second foundation by Dr John Caius in 1558.Buildings alone do not make a College, no matter how beautiful they may be; and yet they provide a vital support for this powerful intellectual community that renews itself year after year. Caius is a living continuum of study, contemplation, enquiry and expression stretching in an unbroken line all the way back to the Middle Ages.The book opens with a brilliant encapsulation of the story of the College's growth and development from 1348 to 2008, written by the master historian of Caius, Professor Christopher Brooke.This is followed by a breathtaking panorama of images of Caius in the twenty-first century. Dan White shows us the College through fresh eyes. He delights in contrasting ancient traditions with irrepressible youth. He portrays a vibrant community of students, fellows, staff and benefactors, all contributing in their own way to the multi-faceted life of the College.Dan's unforgettable images are also perfectly complemented by the photographs of College President, Professor Wei-Yao Liang, who captures the subtle beauty of the College through its many moods and seasons.Photography by Dan White, edited by Wei-Yao Liang and Christopher Brooke

Book excerpt: First published in 1676, The Virtuoso set a standard for theatrical satire. It was the most extensive dramatic treatment of modern science since Jonson's The Alchemist and took as its target no less than the Royal Society of London. Shadwell's barbs hit their targets often and cleanly. In 1689 he became Poet Laureate of England, a position he held until his death in 1692. The virtuoso of the title is Sir Nicholas Gimcrack, who like many after him confuses the extent of a collection with the depth of a science. Sir Gimcrack is fascinated by the geography of the moon, the worlds in his microscope, and the possibilities of human flight. More seriously and?for Shadwell's audience?more comically, his obsession with his arrays of worms and spiders proceeds at the expense of his wife and two beautiful nieces. The play also introduces Sir Formal Trifle, a pedantic ciceronian orator and coxcomb. His character established thereafter the theatrical type of the know-it-all blowhard. Famous for its wit and high-speed changes, The Virtuoso is also a display of the prestige of modern science and the pomposity of its ameteurs.

This book was released on 2016-09-17 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biographical History of Gonville and Caius College, 1349-1897, Vol. 1: Containing a List of All Known Members of the College From the Foundation to the Present Time, With Biographical Notes The following pages comprise, I believe, the first serious attempt at compiling what may be called a biographical history of one of our ancient educational foundations; in the sense of not only giving a chronological list of all the members, but of affording also some information as to their subsequent career. It need hardly be added that neither of these objects has been entirely secured; and that in the case of the latter, success has fallen considerably short of what was desired. As regards the completeness of the list of members of the college: from 1559 onwards, thanks to the foresight of Dr Caius, our Entrance List may be considered as nearly perfect; at any rate we have no ground to suppose that more than a few names of the ordinary students or of those graduates who came to reside as fellow-commoners, have been omitted from the register. Those who first entered the college as fellows, it is true, were not included; but they are very few in number, and can generally be ascertained either by the inclusion of their names in the account-books, or by some reference to them as tutors. Practically, therefore, the name of every member of the college, in the modern sense of the term, is certainly known from This leaves an interval of about 220 years from the first foundation, which can only partially be filled up. The University matri culations commence in 1544, and therefore carry us a few years further back; but their information is defective in two respects. They only assign the college at which a student matriculated, but give no hint of any subsequent migration. Moreover they give the names only, omitting all account of birthplace and parentage. They are also far from complete, as many students, especially those who did not contemplate staying for a degree, altogether omitted to matriculate.
