Excerpt from Corpus Christi This book is mainly a reproduction, in a shorter form, Of my larger History of C. C. C. Published by the Oxford Historical Society in 1893, of which the Committee have courteously allowed me to make full use. To the anti quary, and to special students of academical history, it will not be Of equal value with that work, as I have, Of course, been compelled to omit many transcripts from ancient documents, and, even in following, the main thread of the history, to study brevity rather than completeness. On the other hand, to the general reader, and to those present or former students of the College whose knowledge of it has been mainly derived from their experience as Under graduates, this book will have the advantage Of stating in a succinct form those facts which are likely to be Of most interest to them.
