| Summary | "St. John's College, Cambridge" by Robert Forsyth Scott is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book provides an in-depth exploration of the origins, architecture, and cultural significance of St. John's College, one of the prominent colleges in the University of Cambridge. Through various chapters, it outlines its foundational history, architectural developments, significant figures associated with the college, and the social life that has evolved within its walls. The opening of the book presents a detailed description of the college's founding in 1511 by Lady Margaret Beaufort and its architectural features, particularly the iconic Great Gate. It highlights the historical significance of the college structures, including notable designs and restorations over the centuries. Scott introduces key historical figures and events, such as the transitions of the college's roles and functions, while also mentioning unique aspects of life at the college, including traditions and notable incidents. This sets the stage for a comprehensive view of the college's development through its architectural changes and contributions to the academic community.
