Title
Provost and Fellows: Papers concerning the Cambridge University Commission and the Public Schools Commission
Level
Sub-series
Administrative / Biographical history
The Act of 1856 for the 'good government and extension of the University of Cambridge [and] of the Colleges therein' applied also to Eton and proposals for reforms of King's College were inevitably of interest to Eton. The Cambridge University Commissioners made enquiries of Eton that were in many respects similar to those of the Public Schools Commissioners so it is not surprising that papers relating to the questions from Cambridge are found with those dealing with Eton's response to the Public Schools Commission. Appointed on 18 July 1861 and chaired by Lord Clarendon, this Commission conducted a searching enquiry into Eton and other schools and the result was the Public Schools Act of 1868. The papers here reveal also the debate over the Bill of 1865. An interesting document is the book containing the detailed written answers of Stephen Hawtrey, the Mathematical Master, to the questions circulated by the Commissioners.
