Part of College Archives

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.
