Description
Founded in 1348 and again in 1557 by John Caius (pronounced "keys"), a Renaissance scholar and physician to King Edward VI and Queen Mary. To symbolise a scholar's progress, Caius devised a series of gates with evocative names: he enters through the Gate of Humility and then progresses into Caius Court via the Gate of VIrtue, before finally passing through the Gate of Honour to receive his degree in what is now the Senate House.
