Cambridge - Gonville and Caius College 
|
|
Facing Trinity Street, Caius College (pronounced "Keys"), or Gonville and Caius College to give it its full name, was founded in 1348 by Edmund Gonville, vicar general of the diocese of Ely, and enlarged after 1558 by Dr. John Caius, physician to Edward VI and Queen Mary. It still has a strong medical tradition today.
Caius has three gates which together symbolize the student's academic "path". The college is entered from Trinity Street through the Gate of Humility, leading into Tree Court (1868-70). From there the Gate of Virtue gives access to Caius Court (completed in 1567), from which, finally, the Gate of Honor (1575) opens onto the Senate House opposite where degrees are conferred.
