This is the first attempt for many years to provide a concise, illustrated history of the University of Cambridge from its origins in the thirteenth century up to the present day. It shows how the University has evolved in reaction both to external forces and to internal movements for "reform", and conveys some impression of the day-to-day experiences of students, teachers and university administrators throughout the University's long history. This account should prove useful both as a handbook for immediate reference and as an attractive general introduction to the subject.
- A lively, illustrated, short account of the 700-year history of the university of Cambridge
- Contains much basic factual information which is difficult to find from other sources
- Offers an enjoyable history for the thousands of past and present members of the University, and for the many other interested readers
