Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cambridge and Its Colleges Trinity, has put within the reach of the writer on Cambridge a vast amount of information which, a few years ago, was practically inac cessible. In dealing with special Colleges, a variety of sources has been consulted: the writer is especially indebted, for his short account of King's Chapel, to the evidence furnished by the late Mr G. Gilbert Scott in his Essay on tbe History. Of Englisl) cbure/j Arebiteeture, and to the description of the windows by the present Provost and for many details in his sketch of the history of St John' 8, to the Notes from tbe College Records which the present Master, for many years past, has published in the College magazine, Ybe Eagle.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the University of Cambridge Although the present volume appears as one of a series especially designed to illustrate Church History, the writer has not sought to modify the treatment of the subject in order to establish its claim to a place in such a category. The following sketch will suffice to show that it was in the University of Cambridge that the Reformation in England had its real commencement; that it was there that Puritanism first assumed a distinct organisation, and at the same time encountered the mo6t effective resistance; that it was there also that a movement which most materially influenced the religions thought of the seventeenth century, - the teaching of the Cambridge Platonists, - took its rise and made its most important contributions to the cause of freedom and toleration.

This book was released on 2018-09-15 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of Cambridge and Harvard College The two-storied school house is yet on Front street, where I attended the Grammar School, when that faithful teacher, A. B. Magoun, began his life work in Cambridge schools. In 1840 I entered the Boston Latin School, and studied there not quite a year. But the college established a preparatory institution, the Hopkins Classical School, where most of the Cambridge boys fitted for Harvard. When examined for entrance-to college, that ordeal had lost its dread for some of us, who, six weeks before, had passed successfully our school graduation in presence of the college professors. The Seniors, on a certain day in the spring, paraded with full ranks the poorest scholars holding the place of honor, and those having Commencement parts bringing up the rear. The students too, at times, wore their Oxford caps, such as the faculty use at Commencement, outside the college premises, even down to the Port, and in Boston, always exciting the shouts and jeers of the town boys, and the gamins of the West End in Boston.

This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The University of Cambridge, in the Eighteenth Century His virtues, however, have perished with him and he has come down in history with a sorry and tarnished reputation. It is popularly believed that he was lazy and self-indulgent; but there is good reason to think that his failings have been exaggerated. Though Cam bridge in the eighteenth century was sadly lacking in eminent mathematiciansl, it was not wanting in great classical scholars; and a century of university history which can boast of Bentley, Porson, Dawes and Mark land may be accounted to have paid its debt and more than its debt to classical scholarship. It can of course be contended that scholars of such merit were rare, that they were the exception rather than the rule, and that to derive from them the standard of industry prevailing in the university is to argue from the particular to the general; but, inasmuch as it is the inevitable conse quence of the progress of learning that the greater part of the work of one generation is superseded by the next, and that only a comparatively few students are remembered for all time, it is particularly necessary to be cautious of assuming that idleness must have been almost universal because the proofs of industry are not very obvious. It is true that research was not quite so much the order of the day as it is at present; but the claims of learning and scholarship were certainly not completely disregarded. No one now troubles to in vestigate the high dusty shelves of college libraries on which repose the volumes on philosophy, divinity.

Oxford is a city most strongly fortified and unapproachable, by reason of its very deep waters 'which wash it all around; being on one side most carefully girt by solid outworks, beautifully and very powerfully strength ened by an impregnable castle and a tower of vast height. This is a description from an ancient work of the time of King Stephen. And, from the time of King' Stephen downwards, Oxford is a name which, either as a city or university, sometimes as the residence of the court or the parliament, is constantly recurring In the annals of England.

Unlike his collaborators in the present series, he has at his disposal no mass of material from Whose abundance it is easy to furnish his readers With a mingled feast of solid antiquarianism and quaint gossip. And yet the story Which he has to tell is fraught With more associations of general and even national interest than might have been expected from so short a period as a single century. Through the foresight of the younger Pitt, Who inspired the Charter, Downing College led the way, in Oxford and Cambridge, both by releasing the great mass of the fellowships from all restrictions that.
