[Cambridge. Gonville & Caius College, Gate of Honour.] 60. [Gonville and Caius College was founded in 1348 as the Hall of Annunciation by Edmund Gonville, who intended it to be a purely theological institution. It was removed to its present site in 1351, and re-founded in 1557 by Dr. Caius, who set his mark so firmly on the College that to-day it is commonly known as Caius (pronounced Keys). Now the College is famous for its association with natural sciences and medicine. In the early days, the College was entered through a small and insignificant doorway, called the Gate of Humility, now placed in the Master's garden. From there the student passed along a straight roadm shaded as now by trees, until he reached the Gate of Virtue (sometimes called the Gate of Wisdom). In the chambers adjoining, the student spent three years practising humility and acquiring virtue, after which he passed through the Gate of Honour to the Schools, where he received his degree. The Gate of Honour, besides being a university curiosity, is a most interesting example of early renaissance work.]
