CAMBRIDGE UNIFERSITT CALENDAR 



In 1796 appeared the first Cambridge University Calendar. It was 

 a small volume of 190 pages, edited by G. Mackenzie, B.A., of Trinity, 

 and contained " a list of the present members, the livings in the gift of 

 each College, with their incumbents; some useful particulars concerning 

 the Fellowships, Scholarships etc. Professors, Officers, Prizemen etc." 

 It was printed by Benjamin Flower and published by W. Page, and in 

 the Preface a pious hope was expressed that it would be " neither useless 

 nor uninteresting to the Members of the University." A note on the 

 Origin of the University, characteristic of the age of faith, occupied 

 the first page : 



"The origin oi Cambridge as an Uniuersity is very doubtful. We are however 



informed that one Cantaber, a Spaniard, about 370 years before Christ, is intitled 



to this honour ; Certain it is, that after many years laying desolate, Sigebert, 



King of the East Angles, restored it a.d. 630." 



Except tor the year 1798, the Calendar has appeared annually smce 

 1796. In 1 803, the title was temporarily changed to The Cambridge 

 University Register, and the following year's issue, edited by "a member 

 of the Senate," was dedicated to William Pitt and the Earl of Euston. 



It was printed at the University Press iti 1803 and 1804, and this has 

 also been the case from 1826 to the present time. 



With its publication, the name of Deighton has been associated since 

 1803, ^"'' '"^^ proprietorship has recently been transferred from the present 

 firm of Messrs Deighton, Bell & Co. to the Syndics of the Press, wlio 

 will be responsible for its publication, in a new format, in 1914 and 

 subsequent years.
