 What is a Cambridge College?
Publication note: This brief description of the Cambridge Collegiate System was written in 1999 by Derek G.W. Ingram, Fellow of Gonville and Caius College, and is reproduced here on the Collegiate Way website through his kind permission.
Up to that time the Colleges still dominated the University, almost all the teaching took place within the Colleges and most of it was in the form of direct discussions between a senior College member—a Fellow—and a small group of students.
At the present time Cambridge University can be pictured as an association of independent Colleges, each of which enrols students, and then sub-contracts to the Central University Departments to provide teaching for its students.

Choir of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge / Jeremy Bines, Timothy Uglow, organ / Geoffrey Webber
Zwingli banned the organ in the early sixteenth century in Switzerland and it was not until the early years of the last century that organ and choral music within the church began to flourish.
Caius has instead made a name for itself by concentrating on neglected areas of the repertoire, with recordings of music by Wood, Rheinberger, Janácek, Wesley and Child, among others.

 Cambridge University
Cambridge's first college, Peterhouse, was endowed by Hugh de Balsham, the Bishop of Ely, in 1284.
The colleges, halls, and houses are promiscuously scattered up and down among the other parts, and some even among the meanest of the other buildings; yet they are incorporated together, by the name of the university, and are governed apart, and distinct from the town, which they are so intermixed with.
As the colleges are many, and the gentlemen entertained in them are a very great number, the trade of the town very much depends upon them, and the tradesman may justly be said to get their bread by the colleges.
