[HDNG]INTRODUCTION:[EHDNG][PARA][BULL] The College is part of University of Cambridge and students [PARA]are entitled to use its facilities.[EBOLD][PARA][ITAL]The most important thing about Gonville and Caius is to [PARA]pronounce its name correctly. [EITAL]Gonville's okay ([ITAL]apart from [PARA]sounding like a Muppet character[EITAL]), but Caius is pronounced 'keys'[PARA]which is particularly confusing because most people drop the [PARA]'Gonville and' bit. Caius is based on 2 sites, 500 yards apart. The[PARA]main building is at one end of King's Parade and is centred on the[PARA][ITAL]fine [EITAL]old renaissance Caius Court, next to Tree Court, the only [PARA]college court in Cambridge with, er, trees. The other site is [PARA]Harvey Court, the 1st year accommodation, designed in the 1960s[PARA]in concrete and grey brick ([ITAL]and the worse for it[EITAL]) and situated on [PARA]the other side of the river on the Backs (meadow banks). [ITAL]Caius [PARA]students have a distinctly old school tie, macho raucousness [PARA]about them, in contrast with a discernible staidness amongst the [PARA]College authorities.[EITAL][PARA][PARA]3 bars (only 1 open at a time); Thursday night raves; Bateman [PARA]party room; biennial ball. Intermittent magazines; many [PARA]drinking/dining clubs[ITAL]. [EITAL] 2 libraries (33,000 books); 20 PCs, 8 Macs; [PARA]chapel; [ITAL]happy, clappy, candles and sandals [EITAL]Christian brigade. [ITAL][PARA]Good [EITAL]sports facilities in College and 1/4 mile away (3 acres). All [PARA]1st and 3rd years live in hall, 2nd years in college hostels; [ITAL][PARA]'gyp-rooms' (shared kitchens) are inadequate[EITAL]. Nurse; hardship [PARA]funds, travel, study grants.[HDNG]FAMOUS ALUMNI:[EHDNG][PARA]Harold Abrahams (runner in 'Chariots of Fire'); Mark Bailey [PARA](England rugby player); Dr Caius (doctor of medicine); Kenneth [PARA]Clarke MP (Con); Francis Crick (Nobel prize winning medic); [PARA]David Frost (broadcaster); William Harvey (who discovered [PARA]circulation of blood); Stephen Hawking (cosmologist); Sir Nevill [PARA]Mott (Nobel prize winning physicist); ); Dr Venn (as in 'Venn [PARA]diagram').
