Biographical history
In 1887 the College's sports clubs and the Musical Society 'amalgamated' for the purposes of finance, with the Caius Boat Club taking the lead role. They were managed by a central committee which comprised of a President, Secretary and Treasurer held by senior tutors of the College. The General Meetings comprised of the President and Secretary of the Amalgamated Club, the President and Secretary from every club of the Amalgamated Clubs and the Captains of the Boat Club. From 15th Nov. 1901 minutes were kept from each General meeting. The attendees elected new officers, proposed new procedures and decided how the clubs should be maintained. The Finance Committee was the most influential body, being responsible for subscriptions and allocations of finance. The function of the Amalgamated Clubs was eventually taken over by the Gonville and Caius College Student Union (GCSU).
