Description: "Emmanuel college was founded by the royal minister Sir Walter Mildmay in 1584." "It has played its role in all the movements of the twentieth century which have made Cambridge what it is today: in learning, teaching, sports and social life." "All these are reflected in the broadly conceived accounts by Patrick Collinson for the period 1584-1719 and Christopher Brooke for 1719 to the late twentieth century. A special feature of this book is Sarah Bendall's substantial account of the history of the college estates and college finances, on a scale and in a depth never before attempted for an Oxbridge college."--BOOK JACKET.
