Excerpt from Liber Cantabrigiensis: An Account of the Aids Afforded to Poor Students, the Encouragements Offered to Diligent Students, and the Rewards Conferred on Successful Students, in the University of Cambridge

In the revised cathedral statutes of Queen Elizabeth the intention of King Henry VIII. With respect to the grammar scholars and the students at the Universities is preserved in these words: Moreover, we direct that out of the whole number of grammar boys who have their sustentation in our cathedral church of there be for ever maintained of those who have made greater progress than the rest* in our University of Cambridge, and the same number at Oxford.

It must not be denied, that within the last few years some two or three of the cathedral bodies have established theological colleges in connexion with their cathedrals. This effort on their part is designed to supply what was considered to be deficient in the theological education of graduates of the Universities. How far these new institutions are likely to form sound ministers of the Church of England, may perhaps appear from two or three Opinions expressed at the end of the evidence returned to the Cathedral Commissioners.
