Gonville & Caius College



''Gate of Honour, Gonville & Caius College]]

About
Dignified, exclusive, and otherworldly, Gonville & Caius College is located at the heart of the University of Cambridge across the street from both King's College and Clare College. Caius is one of the hardest colleges to gain entrance to as it is not 'on the way' anywhere, and its porters are most unyielding. Fortunately, Zachary McCune was able to tour the place extensively when a Formal Hall gave cause to formally enter the college.

There are two famous aspects of Gonville & Caius. First, there are three gates at G & C which are said to represent three ages of the young scholar. One enters the college through the Gate of Humility, one frequently passes through the Gate of Virtue, and eventually one exits the Gate of Honour which links the college directly to the Senate House where one graduates at Cambridge.

The other story about Gonville & Caius is that it is named for two people the second of whom was called 'Keys' but latinized his name to 'Caius' to seem more intelligent and latinate.
