Inhaltsangabe:

Fitzwilliam has a history unlike the other colleges of Cambridge. There was no royal or noble founder, no endowment of cash or land - indeed there was not even the intention that there should be an institution with the recognisable characteristics of a college.
This illustrated hardback volume will provide a remarkable narrative of Fitzwilliam's development, from Hall to House and, triumphantly in 1966, to a full Cambridge College.
"The story is one of determined self-help, with officers, undergraduates and postgraduates seeking to build up a body worthy of its members. It is your story, and it continues to this day - the College is amongst the least endowed of the Cambridge colleges, but it maintains high ambitions for its place in the University and the world." Dr John Cleaver
