1 set 1838 ano - Cambridge's Christ's College 1838
Descrição:
Christ's College was first established as God's House in 1437. In 1505, with a royal charter from the King, the College was re-founded as Christ's College. Surviving the twists and turns of the Reformation, Christ's became one of the leading Puritan colleges of Elizabethan Cambridge. In 1625 it admitted the young John Milton. Over the next century or so, Christ's was noted for several eminent scholars who sought to harmonize traditional Christian faith with the new truths of natural science. Charles Darwin started attending in 1828; "On the Origin of Species" was published some thirty years later, but his interest in botany and geology was nurtured here. Life at Christ's was transformed by the Victorians, with more rigorous exams, the rise of experimental science and the opening of the University to non-Anglicans (“The History").
