Emmanuel College was founded in 1584 in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I by her Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Walter Mildmay . He was a notable Puritan and founded the College to educate Protestant clergy to high standards. Its extensive grounds contain many attractive medieval and modern buildings including a chapel designed by Sir Christopher Wren. Its demanding academic standards are reflected in its consistently high position in the Tompkins tables which compare the relative academic performance of Cambridge colleges. Among its notable alumni are John Harvard who endowed Harvard University, the writer Sebastian Faulks, Choudhqry Rahmat Ali who coined the name of Pakistan for the new nation formed in 1947 and the controversial academic F.R. Leavis. The view shows the buildings on the intersection of St Andrew’s Street and Emmanuel Street. Traces of the Founder’s buildings remain in the section to the right, but it was extensively remodelled in 1828 to the design of Arthur Brown, who also designed the North range( to the left). The picture was drawn and engraved by J and H S Storer.
