Excerpt from The Annals of Gonville and Caius College Here the statutable duty of the registrar to continue the record was for long interrupted. The circumstances under which it was resumed are worth mentioning. They were the result of one of the perpetual squabbles between the fellows and the master for the time being. A certain Mr Cooke gave the College much trouble by, amongst other things, persisting in holding or claiming his fellowship after the expiry of his so-called 'year of grace.' When at last the College declared his fellowship vacant, - the circumstances are fully recorded in this volume, - he appealed to the king. In this appeal be relieved his feelings of resentment by a long catalogue of complaints against alleged neglects and misdoings on the part Of the master, Dr Branthwaite. These were fully enquired into by the Chancellor of the University, and most of them were dismissed as frivolous. But in one respect Cooke did the College a service, in pointing out the neglect that had been committed by the suspension of the College Annals. The Chancellor recommended that they should be duly resumed, and continued as by Statute directed. This judgment of the Chancellor, prescribing the continuation of the Annals, was given in 1635. But it appears that still further delay was incurred, for it was not until May 16, 1655, that we find an entry in the College Gesta, authorizing Dr Bagge to undertake the work.
