Book Description
Queens' College, part of the University of Cambridge, was founded in 1448 by Margaret of Anjou, wife of the inept and ill-fated Henry VI. The first of its 40 Presidents to date was Andrew Doket, an ambitious Catholic priest, while the latest, the eminent economist Dr. Mohamed El-Erian, was installed in 2020, in the midst of the Covid pandemic. This account traces the history of the College through the lives and times of each of the 40 Presidents in chronological order. Their varied careers, (which encompass the martyrdom of Saint John Fisher, incarceration in a prison ship in the Civil War and preaching at the burning of heretics on Cathedral Green at Ely), illustrate the interactions between the academic community and the social, religious, cultural and political life in Britain, over five and a half centuries.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Queen's College, of St. Margaret and St. Bernard, in the University of Cambridge This little book has laid me under great obligations. My heaviest debts are to four works, viz., the Rev. W. G. Searle's "History of the Queens' College of St. Margaret and St. Bernard in the University of Cambridge," Part I. 1867, Part II. 1871; Messrs. Willis and Clark's "Architectural History of the University of Cambridge," 4 vols. 1886; Mr. J. B. Mullinger's "History of the University of Cambridge," Vol. I. 1873, Vol. II. 1884; and the late Mr. C. H. Cooper's "Annals of Cambridge," 4 vols. 1842-52. Mr. Searle has been my chief guide as far as his work extends, viz., to 1662, and a very large proportion of my materials has been derived from him. I hope that he may be induced to continue his History down to the present time: finis coronet opus. "The Architectural History" has been my authority for almost all that concerns the buildings of the College, while to its editor, Mr. J. W. Clark, Registrary of the University, I am indebted for his kindness in allowing me to consult him. From Mr. Mullinger's volumes I have derived much information up to the year 1625, where his work at present stops; if I may venture to say so, it is a work which should not be allowed to end there. To study the history of the University during the period which follows 1625 under Mr. Mullinger's able guidance would be a delightful task. "The Annals of Cambridge" have brought within my reach much that I might otherwise have sought in vain. When my information has been drawn from this book, I have usually referred to it directly.
