Excerpt from Biographical History of Gonville and Caius College, Vol. 4: In Continuation of Volumes I III; Admissions Since January 1, 1899; Chronicle of the College Estates

The first volume of the Biographical History of Gonville and Cains College, published in 1897, contained an Introduction by Dr Venn and the record of individual admissions, fragmentary to the year 1559, and continuous from 1559 to 1713. The second volume, published in 1898, continued the record of admissions from 1713 to 1898. The third volume, published in 1901, completed the History of the College as originally designed. The delay in publication made it possible to include in an appendix the record of admissions for the three years 1899 - 1901. For the initiative, the plan, and the detail of the first three volumes Dr Venn was wholly responsible. It is not out of place here to note that the College, in recognition of the immense benefit conferred upon the College by the patient labour of Dr Venn, and his prolonged and accurate research, which has resulted in the production of this History, paid him the compliment of placing his coat of arms in a window of the Hall which contains those of the "Benefactors."

The record of admissions has proved to be a source of unfailing interest and practical usefulness. The Governing Body of the College accordingly sanctioned the compilation and publication of the record from the year to which it had been carried in Volume II to the present date (1911). Further the Chronicle of the College Estates, drawn up by Mr E. J. Gross, Bursar from 1876 to 1886, was approaching completion.
