Excerpt from Biographical History of Gonville and Caius College, Vol. 3: Containing the Biographies of the Successive Masters, the History of the Various Endownments and Benefactions, and Transcript of Many Early Deeds and Charters
This volume completes the History of the College as origin ally designed, and as indicated to the subscribers six years ago. Besides the friends already mentioned as having helped me in the first two volumes, I have much pleasure in recording my thanks to Rev. E. S. Roberts and Dr Reid, tutors, Mr Lock, bursar, and Mr A. M. Knight, dean, who have revised many of the proof Sheets; to Mr C. E. Sayle, for his help in respect to book-rarities in our library, and the heraldry of the College to Mr J. E. Foster for aiding me in the description of the plate; to Rev. W. G. Searle, Mr J. W. Clark, and Mr W. Hudson of Eastbourne, for advice and suggestions as to the deciphering of several ancient records. The Rev. E. Cookson, formerly of the College has helped me in numerous identifications of old members, and in the compilation of an Index of schoolmasters. The assistance of other kind friends will be found acknowledged in several places.
I had hoped that a chapter by Mr E. J. Gross, former bursar, dealing with the history of our estates from their earliest acquisi tion by the College would have found a place in this volume. But, though this is far advanced, it has proved impossible to complete it in time for insertion, without further delaying the execution of the promise to subscribers which illness and other causes have already delayed longer than was at first hoped.
