Excerpt from Alumni Cantabrigienses, Vol. 5: A Biographical List of All Known Students, Graduates and Holders of Office at the University of Cambridge, From the Earliest Times to 1900
The publication of this volume completes Part I of the Alumni; the fact that it contains fuller information than its predecessors (an average of thirty-six biographies to a page as compared with thirty-eight in Volume III, forty in Volume II, and as many as forty-three in Volume I) affords perhaps a reasonable explanation for its somewhat delayed appearance. The attention of those consulting the work is drawn to the extensive Appendix contained at the end, which represents material kindly supplied by numerous readers of the first Volumes, whose names are in most instances appended to their notes. From the compiler's standpoint it is gratifying to record that practically the whole of this mass of information consists of addenda, and that the corrigenda are remarkably few.
Since the inception, some eighteen years ago, of the entire scheme the possibility of completing Part II (1752-1900) has, from economic causes, receded further and further into the background, and work upon it has been in abeyance. It is, therefore, exceedingly gratifying to be able to announce that the Syndics of the Press have, with the utmost generosity, decided to provide the financial means whereby the whole work can now be completed. May it be hoped that such public-spirited action will result in the further result being accorded to Part I? At the moment it is impossible to estimate the period of time likely to elapse before Volume I of Part II will be ready for press, but may this opportunity be seized of requesting readers to forward any notes in their possession relating to alumni who entered the University subsequent to the year 1751? The assistance hitherto received from so many sources encourages the belief that this appeal will be supported.
In addition to those correspondents previously, but inadequately, thanked this Volume in particular has benefited from the help of the following: Mr F. C. Beazley, Mr R. W. Goulding, Mr A. Hawley, Mr L. G. Horton-Smith, Mr J. B. Leslie, Mr J. P. Mander, Mr L. B. Namier, Mr G. R. Potter, the Rev F. D'A. Ranner, Mr H. Shove, Mr W. P. Haskett Smith, Mr P. E. Towell, Mr Leonard Whibley, Captain H. J. R. Yardley, D.S.O., M. C.
To the Rev T. C. Dale is due a measure of no ordinary gratitude, for he has now added to the heavy debt already owed him by supplying some thousands of ordinations and institutions to livings.
