THOMAS LORKIN, Regius Professor of Physic, sometime

Fellow of Queens' College and afterwards of St Peter's;
RICHARD HOLDSWORTH, Lady Margaret's Reader in Divi-
nity, Dean of Worcester and Master of Emmanuel Col-
lege, sometime Fellow of St John's College;

HENRY LUCAS, Esquire, before mentioned, Founder of the
Professorship of Mathematics;

TOBIAS RUSTAT, Esquire, formerly of Jesus College;

JOHN HACKET, Bishop of LICHFIELD and COVENTRY,
sometime Fellow of Trinity College;

JOHN LOUIS BURCKHARDT, of Lausanne, who, previously
to his travels in the East, was for some time resident in

JOHN MANISTRE, Rector of Stower Provost, sometime
Fellow of King's College.

The building of the SCHOOLS and LIBRARY has been car-
ried on through more than five hundred years partly at the
cost of the University, but also by aid of the contributions of a
long series of Benefactors, whose names, so far as they have
come down to us, are recorded on tables preserved in the
Library. Foremost among them we must ever gratefully
remember these four following, each more especially in con-
nexion with one portion of the Building:

SIR WILLIAM THORPE, Chief Justice of the King's Bench;
Sir JOHN FASTOLF, Knight of the Garter;

THOMAS ROTHERHAM, Archbishop of York, before men-
tioned;

THOMAS HALFORD, of Jesus College.

Museum.

The MUSEUMS in which our various collections of scientific objects are preserved, though some of them commenced at the cost of the University itself, yet in several instances owe their origin and fuller development to the devotedness and generosity of those whose names we specially recite on this occasion.

Our earliest MUSEUM, that of GEOLOGY, took its rise with the collection of English fossil remains bequeathed by Dr JOHN WOODWARD, before mentioned, Founder of the Geological Professorship, in 1728; but it has been almost created anew by the untiring and devoted labours of ADAM SEDGWICK, Fellow of Trinity College, and for fifty-five years Woodwardian Professor.

The BOTANICAL MUSEUM was commenced by the liberality
of JOHN MARTYN, of Emmanuel College, Professor of Botany
from 1732 to 1761.

The ANATOMICAL MUSEUM had its beginning in a collec-
tion presented to the University in 1804 by Sir ISAAC PEN-
NINGTON, Regius Professor of Physic, and formerly Fellow of
St John's College.

The MUSEUMS of ZOOLOGY and COMPARATIVE ANATOMY
were in great measure formed by the exertions as well as by the
gifts of WILLIAM CLARK, Doctor of Physic, sometime Fellow
of Trinity College, and Professor of Anatomy from 1817 to
1866.

For the BOTANIC GARDEN the University was indebted in the first instance, in 1762, to the liberality of RICHARD WALKER, Doctor in Divinity, Professor of Casuistry, and Fellow of Trinity College; and among the many contributions to its improvement, we are bound to commemorate the endowments it has received from

CHARLES, Viscount MAYNARD, and

EDWARD BETHAM, Rector of Greenford, in Middlesex, sometime Fellow of King's College.

For the FITZWILLIAM MUSEUM, we are indebted to the princely bequest of RICHARD, Viscount FITZWILLIAM, formerly of Trinity Hall, who, in 1816, gave by will to the University his magnificent collection of Pictures, Engravings, and Books,

together with a sum of one hundred thousand pounds, the in-
terest to be employed primarily in the erection of a building to
contain the Collection and in defraying the expenses of its

maintenance.

Of the Benefactors to the OBSERVATORY, the following es- Observatory. pecially deserve a place in this public commemoration :

HUGH PERCY, Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND, High Steward
and afterwards Chancellor of the University;

RICHARD SHEEPSHANKS, sometime Fellow of Trinity Col-
lege, and his sister

Miss ANNE SHEEPSHANKS;

by whose noble gifts the usefulness of the Observatory has been
largely increased, and the interests of astronomical science pro-
moted amongst us.

To the names already recited must be added those of
HUGH DE BALSHAM, Bishop of ELY, Founder of St Peter's
College, the most ancient of our present Colleges;
SIMON MONTAGU, Bishop of ELY;

ANDREW de GISELHAM,

GILBERT de SEGRAVE,

RICHARD de BADEW, Founder of University Hall,

RICHARD de LYNG, all four Chancellors of the University;
NIGEL de THORNDON, Doctor of Physic;

of the Esquire Bedells and Registrary of the University;
MATTHEW PARKER, Archbishop of CANTERBURY, some-
time Master of Corpus Christi College;

ROBERT HARE, Master of Arts, formerly of Gonville and
Caius College;

all of whom were in different ways considerable benefactors to
this University.

These are our FOUNDERS and primary BENEFACTORS Whose
names we have thus publicly recited, to the service and glory of
God, to the perpetuating of their memory, and to the testifying
of our own thankfulness. It now remains that we bless and
praise Almighty God for them all,

Answer. And with thy spirit.

Vice-Chancellor. Let us pray.

O Lord, we glorify thee in these thy servants our benefactors departed out of this present life, beseeching thee that, as they for their time bestowed charitably for our comfort the temporal things which thou didst give them, so we for our time may fruitfully use the same to the setting forth of thy holy word, thy laud and praise, and finally that with those who have departed this life in thy faith and fear we may be partakers of thy heavenly kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with us all evermore. Amen.
