of Mary. The carved oak fittings within date from the
mastership of Richard Bentley (1700-1742). The organ is particularly
fine. A statue of Sir Isaac Newton by Roubiliac stands in the
antechapel, and Richard Porson and William Whewell are buried here. The
hall on the west of the court is Neville's work (1605), and very
beautiful. The second court is also his foundation and bears his name.
The library on the west side is the work of Sir Christopher Wren. Its
interior is excellent, and besides busts of some of the vast number of
famous men connected with Trinity, it contains a statue of Lord Byron by
the Danish sculptor Thorvaldsen. The New Court, Gothic in style, was
begun in 1823. The beautiful grounds and walks of the college extend
down to and beyond the river. The college has extended its buildings to
the opposite side of Trinity Street, where the two courts known as
Whewell's Hostel were built (c. 1860) at the charge of Dr William
Whewell during his mastership. The eminent _alumni_ of this great
college are too numerous to admit of selection.

_Trinity Hall_, which lies near the river, south of Trinity, was founded
by William Bateman, bishop of Norwich, in 1350. On the site there had
been, for about twenty years before the foundation, a house of monastic
students from Ely. The present college is alone in preserving the term
Hall in its title. The foundation consists of a master and thirteen
fellows, and the study of law, which the founder had especially in mind,
is provided for by lectureships, and not less than three studentships
tenable by graduates of the college. The buildings are for the most part
modern or modernized, but the interior of the library well preserves its
character of the early part of the 17th century.

University buildings.

Of the churches of Cambridge one has long been recognized as the church
of the university, namely Great St Mary's, which stands in the centre of
the town, between King's Parade and Market Hill. It is a fine
Perpendicular structure, founded in 1478; but the tower was not
completed until 1608. Some Decorated details are preserved from a former
building. The university preachers deliver their sermons in this
church, but it was formerly the meeting-place of the university for the
transaction of business, for learned disputations and for secular
festivals. The "Cambridge chimes" struck by the clock are famous, and a
curfew is rung each evening on the great bell. The Senat
