Fitzwilliam: The First 150 Years of a Cambridge College by John Cleaver
Fitzwilliam has a history unlike the other colleges of Cambridge. There was no royal or noble founder, no endowment of cash or land - indeed there was not even the intention that there should be an institution with the recognizable characteristics of a college. The story is one of determined self-help, with officers, undergraduates and postgraduates seeking to build up a body worthy of its members. It's story continues to this day - the College is amongst the least endowed of the Cambridge colleges, but it maintains high ambitions for its place in the University and the world. In bringing together, and out of the archive and personal collections, anecdotes, photos, prints and other memorabilia, this volume provides a permanent record of 'The First 150 Years' of a Cambridge college.
John Cleaver came to Fitzwilliam in 1971 as a Research Fellow. Until his retirement from the Cavendish Laboratory in 2004, he held the post of Assistant Director of Research at the Microelectronics Research Centre. His research interests are: Novel microstructure fabrication processes and their application to the physics of advanced microelectronic devices and nanostructures.
