The work details the lives of notable figures from the University of Cambridge, reflecting on academic, social, and constitutional changes within the institution over the years. The author draws upon his own recollections and experiences as a former Fellow of Trinity College, providing insight into the personal and academic lives of his subjects. The opening of the memoir begins with a preface in which Clark addresses his motivation for compiling these recollections, noting the differing nature of the University as he first encountered it compared to its state in his later years. He acknowledges a desire to share anecdotes and smaller insights into the lives of individuals whose contributions shaped Cambridge, despite expressing some uncertainty about the significance of his memories. The initial biography presented in the text focuses on Dr. William Whewell, exploring his multifaceted life as a pivotal figure in both the scientific community and the governance of the University. Throughout this opening portion, Clark sets up a narrative emphasizing the blend of personal anecdotes and historical context that characterizes the lives of these esteemed Cambridge residents.
