(a) ORIGINAL AUTHORITIES.

of Oxford and Cambridge are to be found in the treasuries or muniment
rooms of the several colleges, and in the registries of the two universities.
Thomas Baker (1656-1740), sometime Fellow of St John's, a laborious and
accurate antiquarian, left extensive writings, which are preserved in the
Harleian collection in the British Museum and in the Cambridge University
Library. In the antiquarian collections made by William Cole (1714
82), vicar of Milton, Cambridgeshire, and bequeathed by him to the
British Museum, is much useful material extracted by him from original
sources.
(ü) Printed Books. (1) CAMBRIDGE.
Documents relating to the University and Colleges of Cambridge. 3 vols.
1852. These volumes contain the Statuta Antiqua of the university,
together with charters, statutes and other records furnished to the
university commission of the time by Cambridge authorities and by the
custodians of various national collections.
Statuta Academiae Cantabrigiensis. Cambridge, 1785.

chroniclers may be singled out John Major, whose De Historia Gentis
Scotorum Libri Sex appeared at Paris in 1521, and was republished at
Edinburgh in 1740. For direct personal observation of Scottish university
life in the middle of the sixteenth century reference may be made to:
