Every college must have at least one, and Caius's is Harvey Court named after William Harvey (who discovered that blood flows round the body, rather than being created somewhere in the centre and breaking down once it got to the edges).
A number of other colleges have Cripps Courts, such as this one in St John's College, presumably named after the architect, which tend to be slapped right in the middle of all the old buildings.

 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.

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.
