Gonville And Caius College, CambridgeGonville and Caius College, Cambridge, generally known as "Caius" (pronounced "Keys"), is a constituent college of Cambridge University, one of the world's most renowned academic institutions. The college has produced numerous academically-accomplished alumni, including several Nobel Prize winners. The college was first founded, as Gonville Hall, by Edmund Gonville, Rector of Terrington in 1348. It was founded a second time as Gonville & Caius College in 1557 by the physician John Caius. John Caius was master of the college from 1559 until shortly before his death in 1573. He provided the college with significant funds and greatly extended the buildings. The college first admitted women as fellows and students in 1979. The college now has nearly 100 fellows, over 700 students and about 200 staff. Most of the stone used to build the college came from Ramsey Abbey near Ramsey, Cambridgeshire. Gonville and Caius also very selectively admits American and other foreign students for its various summer programs, the most prominent of which has been organized in the United States by the University of New Hampshire.
