        History

        The Master of Caius is a member of Board of Governors of the Tancred Trust.

        Christopher Tancred (1689 -1754) set aside in his will a large part of his estate to fund several charities. One of these charities was for students who were 'natives of Great Britain, of the religion of the Church of England, and of such low abilities as not to be capable of obtaining the education directed without the assistance of such a charity'. Originally 12 students were given £50 each: 4 divinity students from Christs College, 4 physic students at Caius and 4 students of Common Law at Lincolns Inn. One student from each subject was chosen by the governors to make a speech on the anniversary of Tancred's death.

        Further information regarding the history of theTancred Trust is available in The Caian, 1999.
