  Vice-Chancellor's Office: Chancellors of the University of Cambridge
The Chancellor is the titular head of the University, elected for life by the Senate (all graduates holding an M.A. or a higher degree).
From then on, Chancellors were elected from among the magnates of the land who could represent the University's interests at court, and, with the exception of Lord Adrian (1967-76), were no longer resident in the University.
The Chancellor has the power to call congregations, to admit candidates to degrees and to titles of degrees, and to see that all officers of the University duly perform their offices.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: University of Cambridge
In Cambridge, as at Oxford, the earliest colleges made use of the nearest parish church as their place of worship, and Pembroke, which dates from 1347, was the first which had from the beginning a chapel for its members within its own precincts.
The Cambridge University system may be defined as one which subjects all candidates for degrees, and for all university and college distinctions, to the test of competitive examinations, held at fixed intervals, and which allows the preparation and study for these examinations to be held whenever, and in whatever way, the individual thinks proper.
The general discipline of the university, for which the senate is responsible, is in the hands of the proctors, two members of their body nominated annually by the different colleges in turn.
