Scope and content
Copy of admissions entries extracted from the college register by Lynford Caryl (Master 1758-81) then continued, eventually, to become the primary record of admissions. The entries are grouped by year. Before 1790 they give surname, forename, county and college status (fellow-commoner, commoner or sizar); from 1790 they give surname, forename, father's profession, birthplace, birth date, place of education, and by whom recommended.
Also includes: a list of names [admissions] with counties (c.1806-1814); an index to the admissions register organised alphabetically by surname and giving date [of admission]; a certificate from the University Board for admitting and superintending non-collegiate students for Edwin Arthur Barraclough (Jun 1883); and notes about Reverend John Flamsteed and Robert Malthus.
