Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 August 2011
Several years ago the Editor of the College Monographs conceived the idea of a series of volumes dealing separately with the Colleges of our two ancient Universities; since then many historical and illustrated works carrying out, in some degree, this idea have been published.
But the Editor believes that there is still a need for a set of short, well-written, and illustrated handbooks of moderate price.
The College Monographs, of which this volume is the first, have been planned to supply this need. They are written by members of the society with which they are concerned, and aim at giving (1) a concise description of the buildings, (2) a recital of the origin and history of the community, (3) an account of collegiate life, manners, and customs, both past and present, and (4) a record of distinguished sons; while each volume will contain about fifteen illustrations of the most beautiful and characteristic buildings, as well as a plan showing the periods to which they belong.
It is confidently hoped that the series will prove attractive to members of the University, and to all who are interested in the several groups of College buildings, whether for their own sake or on account of their many and varied associations.
