opened by way of the Moral Sciences Tripos (em- 

 bracing at present psychology, logic and methodology, 

 political economy, ethics, metaphysical and moral 

 philosophy and psychophysics), and the Natural 

 Sciences Tripos (embracing chemistry, physics, miner- 

 alogy, geology, botany, zoology, human anatomy, and 

 physiology). In 1857 the Sadlerian professorship of 

 pure mathematics was founded by the consolidation 

 of an old endowment ; and Cayley was the first 

 occupant of the chair. In 1863 the block of buildings 

 known as ' The Museums ' was commenced, with a 

 view to providing accommodation for the professors 

 of the natural sciences ; additions were made to the 

 original buildings in 1877, 1880, 1882, 1884, and 1890, 

 as new branches of science became important. In 

 1858 the 'Civil Law Classes' were replaced by the 

 Law Tripos ; the professor of civil law and the 

 Downing professor of the laws of England were given 

 a colleague by the creation of the Whewell professor- 

 ship of international law in 1867 ; and the Law School, 

 has since 1904 possessed a worthy habitation, built 

 partly at the expense of the University, partly by the 

 help of eminent Cambridge lawyers, and completed 

 by the generous donation of the law library by 

 Miss Squire. In 1866 the professorship of zoology 

 was founded. 



The School of Medicine has grown continuously ; 

 and its progress is associated with the great names, 

 to mention no others, of Sir George Humphry, Sir 

 George Paget, and Sir Michael Foster. In 1883 were 

 founded the professorships of surgery, physiology, and 

 pathology. The diploma of public health was insti- 

 tuted in 187s, and the diploma in tropical medicine — 

 the first of its kind in the kingdom — in 1904. The 

 latter diploma is destined to a brilliant future in 

 Cambridge ; and the University, together with the 

 schools of tropical medicine in London and Liverpool,
