Jesus College Cambridge Society

This is the society for alumni of Jesus College, Cambridge. It exists to support the College by providing opportunities for Jesuans to meet each other and to keep in touch with the College through a variety of social events. Constitutionally, it is independent of the College with its own rules and objects.

Since 1897 a group of Jesuans had been dining annually together rising in number from 14 to 16. It was 'felt that something besides a dinner should be arranged to bind Jesus men throughout the world together....a more permanent organisation was needed'. People were invited to the inaugural meeting on 15 December 1903 at the Hotel Cecil in London. 70 members attended and 110 sent apologies and messages of support. It was decided that the formation of the JCCS was not only desirable but practicable.

Amalgamated Clubs

The Amalgamation Club was formed in October 1884 as a way to introduce a new system for managing the finances of the College Clubs. Up until this date each separate club had been responsible for collecting its own subs and managing its expenses. However, by October 1884 all Clubs, with the exception of the Football Club, was in debt. On 23 October 1884, a general meeting was held, and a provisional Committee, with Mr Gray (Treasurer of the Boat Club) as its chairman was set up. The committee drew up a report containing a framework of rules which was unanimously agreed to at another general meeting held on 11 November 1884.
