Beskrivning

In the seven centuries since its foundation, Clare College Cambridge has enabled successive generations of talented young people to ‘discover and acquire the precious pearl of learning’, and thereby to serve society. To mark the College’s 700th anniversary, 70 for 700: Members of Clare Through the Centuries comprises 70 pen-portraits of individuals associated with Clare through the ages. As well as famous alumni – including such luminaries as Hugh Latimer, Andrew Mellon, Siegfried Sassoon and David Attenborough – there are unfamiliar names and unsung heroes. The College’s impact has been felt around the world, and the individuals celebrated include alumni from Africa, Asia, America and continental Europe, as well as the British Isles. Lavishly illustrated with portraits from the College’s collection, this book highlights the global impact of one of the United Kingdom’s most venerable educational institutions.
