Légende

Professor Willis Lecturing in the Senate-House, Cambridge, 1854. Talk on the architecture of Cambridge. 'Professor Willis observed that the most ancient authority respecting Cambridge was that of Dr. Caius. published in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and a book of ancient prints, published by one Loggan, a Dutchman, in 1688. For a long period the College system, as regarded its building, was very imperfect. The early colleges and hostels had no chapels, but the students attended the parish church. After comparing the chronological history of the earliest colleges in Oxford and Cambridge, he came to New College, Oxford, founded by William of Wykeham. This was planned perfect, having chapel, hall, and everything necessary for carrying out the routine and discipline of the present day'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
