In the long vacation term of 1957 James Anderson (Law 1955) and his friend Neville Gunther (Medicine 1956) scaled the most prominent feature of �鶹Ů�� & Caius College’s Waterhouse Building under cover of darkness.

There are many other examples of Cambridge night climbing antics, none of which are encouraged due to genuine safety concerns, but this escapade is perhaps less well known.

World War I Centenary Commemoration

To commemorate the centenary of the end of the First World War, the stories of some of the 245 Caians who died in the Great War are displayed on our website, in the Chapel, and on the notice boards under the Gate of Virtue in Old Courts. They give a powerful reminder of the fluctuations of the war itself; as well as helping to recall, and honour, their sacrifice.
