Abstract
AT the celebration, on June 3, of the four hundredth anniversary of the foundation of Trinity College, Cambridge, the guests of honour were the King and Queen, and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester. As the royal guests drove across Great Court between crowds of cheering undergraduates, a fanfare of trumpets sounded triumphantly in welcome from above the Great Gate. After a short service in the College chapel, representatives of the town and the university waited upon their Majesties, and the morning's proceedings culminated in lunch in Hall. During the afternoon, a garden-party was held under ideal conditions, and representatives of many different types of College activity were presented to the King. The celebrations ended at five o'clock, except for a very fine firework display late in the evening, which included as a set piece a realistic portrait of the College founder, King Henry VIII.
