Third Millennium was established as a fi ne art publishing
house in 1999 by Julian Platt, a Cambridge graduate. A
proposal in 2001 to develop a book with and for the alumni of
his own college, in support of its development, was to become
the foundation of a close relationship with the University as a
whole. The Clare Development Offi ce said that the project was
the best they had ever undertaken in terms of involving the
whole membership of the College, thus endorsing a publishing
model that has become the core of an international business.

The Cambridge Phenomenon:50 Years of Innovation and ExpertiseEDITED BY KATE KIRK, WITH A FOREWORD BY BILL GATES KBE
Recognised as a ‘phenomenon of considerable signifi cance to British Industry’ by the
Financial Times back in 1980, Cambridge is home to an experienced, resourceful and
successful community of entrepreneurs and known around the world for its innovative
companies. The Cambridge Phenomenon: 50 Years of Innovation and Expertise covers the
remarkable history of this community.

F or a time in the 1950s, it looked as though Cambridge might remain a small market town with a couple of sizeable companies, Marshall’s and the Pye Group, and not much else. The University had endorsed the 1950 Holford Wright report, which recommended “a resolute effort...to reduce the high rate of growth”, and the town planners concurred. However, in the late 1950s and early 1960s, PhD students from the Cavendish and the Engineering Department could be found moonlighting for new technology companies such as Metals Research and Cambridge Consultants that were quietly operating out of old bakeries and garden sheds.
Attitudes began to change in the 1960s, fostered by the newly elected Labour government’s focus on technology as a way to drive the national economy, and promoted in Cambridge by individuals such as Cavendish Professor of Experimental Physics and Nobel Prize winner Sir Nevill Mott. Mott chaired a sub-committee of the Senate set up to explore the relationship between the University and industry. His committee’s report, published in 1969, recommended that the University “strengthen the interaction between teaching and scientific research
on the one hand and its application in industry, medicine and agriculture on the other”. A key recommendation was that Cambridge develop a science park, modelled on that established at Stanford in California in the 1950s. The Mott Committee report was pivotal, acknowledging that Cambridge – both the town and the University – needed to engage with industry, and identifying a concrete way to start building that relationship. The County Development Plan was reviewed, and “bona fide science-based industry” was, if not exactly welcomed with open

A school leaver who started his training at ICI and a
graduate from Imperial are among the founding fathers of
the bioscience industry in and around Cambridge. Today,
there are several science and research parks dedicated to
biotech in the region – including the Babraham Research
Campus, which recently announced a £44 million grant
from the government to support bioscience innovation –
but when Sir Christopher Evans, the Imperial graduate,
launched his first company, Enzymatix in 1987, things were
very different.
Enzymatix had a £1.3 million investment from British
Sugar, but despite this, its first home was an old sheep
shed without any sinks. Starting out selling batches of
enzymes for £750 a box to pharmaceutical companies, the
company would go on to develop a form of phospholipid
that helped premature babies to breathe (which Evans
and his colleagues tested on themselves), and a natural
compound that ensured farmed salmon had pink flesh
without the need for chemical dyes. The latter was sold to
Abbott for £4 million.
By 1992, Evans had met Alan Goodman. Goodman had
come to biotech via ICI, Ciba-Geigy, Trebor, Agricultural
Genetics Company and Medeva. He founded Advanced
Technology Management (ATM) in 1992 to invest in and
provide consultancy to biotech businesses, and Enzymatix
was one of ATM’s first clients. Goodman’s advice was
to split the company, which resulted in the formation of
Chiroscience and Celsis. Chiroscience went on to list on
the London Stock Exchange in 1994 with a market cap of
£102 million, then merged with Slough company Celltech
in 1999. The combined company was sold to Belgian
biopharmaceutical company UCB in 2004, while several
ex-employees, including Andy Richards, had already
gone on to found new companies. Celsis, which focused
on developing enzyme technology to detect microbial
contamination, was listed from 1993 to 1999, when it
was acquired by Chicago company J O Hambro Capital
Management Group.
Goodman and Evans would go on, separately and
sometimes together, to found, co-found and fund numerous
other companies, including Peptide Therapeutics (later
Acambis, sold to Sanofi-Aventis in 2008 for £276 million),
Enviros, Cerebrus, Merlin Ventures, CeNes, Oxford
Biomedica, Amura, Salix and Avlar BioVentures. Evans
even launched a non-biotech company, Toad, which
developed car security systems.
Cambridge University’s Laboratory of Molecular Biology
(LMB) has also played a significant role in the development
of biotech. Set up by the Medical Research Council in 1947,
LMB started out in the Cavendish – conveniently near the
Eagle Pub where Watson and Crick would announce their
discovery of the structure of DNA – and eventually moved
into purpose-built premises on the Addenbrooke’s Hospital
site on the outskirts of Cambridge in 1962. In 2012, LMB
will move into new buildings on the same site, costing
£200 million and partly funded by royalties from antibody
research at the lab.
With 13 LMB scientists sharing 9 Nobel prizes
between them (including Fred Sanger who won twice),
it’s not surprising that several biotech companies have
been founded based on LMB research. Among them are
Domantis, Ribotargets, BioGen and Cambridge Antibody
Technology, CAT, which is now known as MedImmune.

ARM-based chips lie at the heart of many of the devices we
use or rely on every day. The original SWOT analysis for the
company, dated 18th December 1990, lists the strengths of
the underlying technology as low power, low cost, simple
and small. It is these qualities that have led to ARM’s
ubiquity, with ARM designs being found in everything from
smartphones to household appliances, and from computers
to cars. By the end of 2010, over 20 billion chips based
on ARM designs had been manufactured. At the 2011
Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the biggest technology
trade fair in the world, CEO Warren East pointed out to a
Daily Telegraph journalist that “over 70% of all the stands
have a product built on our technology.” Not bad for a
company that started with 12 engineers in a barn.
ARM grew from a project to design a faster and more
efficient microprocessor for Acorn computers in the early
1980s. The project was backed with what Acorn co-founder
Hermann Hauser described as “the only two things we had:
no money and no people”. By 1985, Acorn’s engineers had
designed the world’s first RISC processor. It was 20 times
faster than the 6502 chip found in Acorn’s BBC Micro, but
by this time the UK home computer market had collapsed
and Acorn had to be rescued by Olivetti. By the end of the
year, the RISC project was in danger of being closed down.
Luckily, Apple was going to need a fast, low-powered chip
for its Newton Notepad, and a deal between Apple and
Olivetti/Acorn, with support from chip manufacturer VSLI,
resulted in a new company, Advanced RISC Machines.
The first employees were 12 Acorn engineers, including
Tudor Brown (President since 2008), Jamie Urquhart and
Mike Muller (now Chief Technology Officer). Robin Saxby
(knighted in 2002) joined full-time as CEO in 1991. The team
moved into a converted barn in Swaffham Bulbeck, saving
money by putting in the telephone system themselves—
“Andy Smith crawled through some very tiny spaces”
according to the Acorn Newsletter that Spring.
A ‘chipless chip company’Saxby decided that ARM would licence its designs to
semiconductor companies. These companies could then
develop chips based on the ARM designs for their own
customers. ARM would receive a fee for each licence,
and then a royalty for every ARM-based chip the licensee
company sold. This tied ARM’s success to the success of its
semiconductor partners, but avoided the problems associated
with manufacturing, or partnering with just one company.

Trinity: A PortraitEDITED BY EDWARD STOURTON
Plenty has been written about the genesis of Trinity College, Cambridge, its many
distinguished alumni and even its fi nances. However, in the seven decades since the
Second World War, generations of Trinity students have witnessed profound changes at
an unprecedented pace.

Over the next two years, he made amazing discoveries in mathematics, mechanics, optics and astronomy. As he said later, ‘All this [work] was in the two plague years of 1665 and 1666, for in those days I was in the prime of my life for invention, and minded mathematics and philosophy more than at any time since.’ By ‘philosophy’ he meant natural philosophy or what we now call science. Newton returned to Cambridge in 1667 and was elected to a Fellowship; two years later he succeeded Isaac Barrow in the Lucasian Professorship of Mathematics.While at Woolsthorpe Newton laid the foundations of differential and integral calculus, several years before its independent discovery by Leibniz. He developed this ‘method of fluxions’ to unify earlier techniques for solving seemingly unrelated problems such as finding tangents, the extrema of functions, the areas under curves and the lengths of curves. He presented his findings in 1671 in De Methodis Serierum et Fluxionum, but published posthumously only in 1736, in an English translation by John Colson. Had Newton not delayed publication, his subsequent bitter priority argument with Leibniz would have been avoided.At Woolsthorpe he had started experiments in optics that he continued in Cambridge. He showed that when a beam of white light passed through a glass prism it spread out into a range, or spectrum, of colours. He deduced that white light was a combination of colours, and proved the point by recombining the different colours to produce white light. Previously, it had been believed that white light was the pure quantity, and that colours were additional complicating effects. He realised that because different colours are refracted by different amounts in glass, the sharpness of an image in a lens telescope is limited. So he built a telescope with a spherical mirror instead of a lens; today’s large telescopes are all of this type.
Newton’s greatest achievement in physics was in the field of mechanics. Again, this began at Woolsthorpe. The starting point was what are now called Newton’s laws of motion. Their central idea is that a body continues in a straight line at the same velocity unless acted on by a force. This was contrary to the ideas of the ancient Greeks – then still prevalent – that a moving body needed a continual force to keep it moving. Newton’s laws have stood the
test of time; they apply in all branches of science, and although since modified by Einstein, the modifications are negligible unless the bodies are moving at speeds close to the speed of light.Next came the law of universal gravitation. Newton later said this came to him when he saw an apple fall from a tree. He realised that the same force that made the apple fall also caused the motions of celestial bodies. The conventional wisdom was that the forces were completely different. But, crucially, how did the gravitational force between two bodies vary with their distance? Here Newton proposed the inverse square law which states that the force varies inversely as the square of the distance – for example, if the distance doubles the force drops by a factor

In 1694 he steered through Parliament legislation creating the Bank of England, an archetypal central bank, which was soon helping finance William III’s Continental wars. In 1695–6 Montagu arranged for his Trinity friend Isaac Newton to reissue the coinage, which had been severely clipped.

of four. Using his laws of motion and the inverse square law, he proved that planetary orbits are ellipses, confirming a law Kepler had derived from astronomical observation. Newton published his discoveries in 1687 in Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, commonly known as the Principia and regarded as the greatest work in scientific literature. It sold for 6/- (30p), or 5/- for ready money; a copy costs rather more today. It contained not only Newton’s laws of motion and his calculations of the orbits of the planets and their satellites, but also a discussion of more complicated motions like those of bodies in resisting media and of fluids in creating resistance. The Principia made Newton famous. While he did not write it in the language of calculus, he made extensive use of calculus in its geometrical form, so that the Principia has been called ‘a book dense with the theory and application of the infinitesimal calculus’. As Rouse Ball wrote, in addition to founding calculus, Newton distinctly advanced every branch of mathematics then studied: in particular, he discovered the generalised binomial theorem and the identities named after him, introduced his method in numerical analysis, proved important formulae bearing his name in the theory of finite differences, used geometry to obtain solutions of Diophantine equations and was the first to make substantial use of power series.
Newton’s scientific outlook is contained in one of his most famous sayings, ‘Hypotheses non fingo’ (I frame no hypotheses). By ‘hypothesis’ he meant an axiom unsupported by observation, as in Aristotelian science. Newton’s method was to state a principle or generalisation drawn from a series of observations and then compare its predictions with the results of further observations. As he said, his method was to ‘derive two or three general Principles of Motion from Phænomena, and afterwards to tell how the Properties and Actions of all corporeal Things follow from those manifest Principles, though the causes of those Principles are not yet discover’d’. This is the outlook of scientists today. While they cannot tell you the cause of gravity, they can predict with great accuracy the next eclipse of the sun.In 1689 Newton was elected Member of Parliament for the University of Cambridge. He sat for less than a year and is

First and Third Trinity Boat Club May BallNicholas Chapman (2007)As is clear from its offi cial name, the First and Third Trinity Boat Club May Ball is traditionally connected with the College boat clubs. Arguably the fi rst recorded prototype for the May Ball occurred in 1838, in the form of an unusually splendid post-race dinner at the Hoop Inn and held in honour of the ‘First Trinity’ team. The club paid for 47 bottles of champagne, 12 of sherry, six of Mosel, two of claret, six quarts of ale and £16 14s of punch; with only 38 Trinitarians present, it seems that the proportional
alcohol intake was not dissimilar to that of today’s May Ball, with its seemingly endless supply of vintage champagne served from ice-fi lled punts underneath the Wren Library.
Offi cially, the fi rst May Ball was held in 1866 when the First Trinity team was head of the river, with Third Trinity second. The 20th century saw it evolve into the largest and most sought-after event on the student social calendar.
It may shock those who matriculated before the 1990s to learn that students in 2010 had to shell out nearly £300 for a double ticket. However, the fact that the ball sells out every year suggests that guests feel they get their money’s worth. Held in sparkling white marquees on the South Paddock, students in their white tie or colourful ball gowns fl it from tent to tent, where they hear some of Cambridge’s fi nest talent performing a range of acts: big bands recapturing the days of Glenn Miller, string quartets playing Mozart and Haydn, the Footlights’ unique brand of surreal wit, and even belly dancers. Great Hall boasts a Venetian masquerade, or a pseudo-Victorian music hall, while the Old Kitchens are turned into the University’s most elegant casino.
In all of these venues, a mouth-watering display of food and drink is on offer. Hog roasts, chocolate fountains, oysters, gourmet pizza and ice creams, vintage cheese boards, port, gin, whisky, cocktails and fi ne wines are all on the menu throughout the evening.
Even with all this meticulously planned profl igacy, most students rate the ball’s success on two of its most transient events: the ten-minute fi reworks and the ‘main (professional) band’. With Trinity’s reputation, the main act is usually the most diffi cult call of the entire ball. For all the effort that goes into the food, drink, aesthetics, security and logistics, it is the headliner which will cement itself into the minds of the ball-goers and fi ll the student newspapers the following morning. Thankfully, Trinity usually gets it right.

Scenes from College Life (1980s–2000s), tCSu, rag, the Magpie and Stump
Those guests still standing as rosy-fingered dawn creeps over the Wren at 5am are ushered from their breakfasts towards the bank of the river adjacent to Nevile’s Court in preparation for the traditional Survivors’ photograph, before which they are serenaded by a capella singers drifting by on punts. The perennial popularity of the May Ball is testament to a night when Trinity students show their peers how to party with decorum and style.
I was secretary of the May Ball In 1982. runnIng the ball was a fantastic opportunity for a third year student with a budget of £42,000 (a serious amount of money 30 years ago) but also a huge responsibility. It sounds glamorous, which indeed it was, but it certainly had its moments. The double tickets cost £42 and included food and bubbly as well as the chance to enjoy dancing to big name bands such as Bad Manners or Elvis Cos-tello. Running the May Ball took over my life so you can imag-ine how I felt when the Thursday before the event a friend, now the Bursar of Trinity, reported that he had heard on the May Week party grapevine that the Bullingdon Club from Oxford had printed 100 (double) forged tickets and were planning on gatecrashing the ball. Gatecrashing balls was part of the game
but this was different. We enlisted the help of a big policeman and doubled our security. After about 20 minutes following the gates opening we spotted that the tickets from Oxford were slightly more heavily embossed than the real thing - and the Bullingdon crowd all turned up very early - so we were able to turn them away. The best thing was that their partners clearly didn’t know they were coming on fake tickets so the rows and disappointment were ferocious! Only four couples got in.
The rest of the security worked well, with invaders on punts being rebuffed and students chased across the roof. At about three in the morning I came face to face with a friend who I knew had set himself the challenge to crash - he went white and issued an expletive. It had taken him four hours to get in - he’d been seen off by a porter on the bridge, fallen in the river and had to go back to his College to change and had only eventu-ally managed it by taking an obscure route through the kitchens where he had been chased by a mad Italian chef with a meat cleaver! This was definitely part of the game so I took him up to the Committee room and treated him to a glass of proper Champagne.

for in those days I was in the prime of my life for invention, and minded mathematics and philosophy more than at any time since.’ By ‘philosophy’ he meant natural philosophy or what we now call science. Newton returned to Cambridge in 1667 and was elected to a Fellowship; two years later he succeeded Isaac Barrow in the Lucasian Professorship of Mathematics.While at Woolsthorpe Newton laid the foundations of differential and integral calculus, several years before its independent discovery by Leibniz. He developed this ‘method of fluxions’ to unify earlier techniques for solving seemingly unrelated problems such as finding tangents, the extrema of functions, the areas under curves and the lengths of curves. He presented his findings in 1671 in De Methodis Serierum et Fluxionum, but published posthumously only in 1736, in an English translation by John Colson. Had Newton not delayed publication, his subsequent bitter priority argument with Leibniz would have been avoided.At Woolsthorpe he had started experiments in optics that he continued in Cambridge. He showed that when a beam of white light passed through a glass prism it spread out into a range, or spectrum, of colours. He deduced that white light was a combination of colours, and proved the point by recombining the different colours to produce white light. Previously, it had been believed that white light was the pure quantity, and that colours were additional complicating effects. He realised that because different colours are refracted by different amounts in glass, the sharpness of an image in a lens telescope is limited. So he built a telescope with a spherical mirror instead of a lens; today’s large telescopes are all of this type.
Newton’s greatest achievement in physics was in the field of mechanics. Again, this began at Woolsthorpe. The starting point was what are now called Newton’s laws of motion. Their central idea is that a body continues in a straight line at the same velocity unless acted on by a force. This was contrary to the ideas of the ancient Greeks – then still prevalent – that a moving body needed a continual force to keep it moving. Newton’s laws have stood the
test of time; they apply in all branches of science, and although since modified by Einstein, the modifications are negligible unless the bodies are moving at speeds close to the speed of light.Next came the law of universal gravitation. Newton later said this came to him when he saw an apple fall from a tree. He realised that the same force that made the apple fall also caused the motions of celestial bodies. The conventional wisdom was that the forces were completely different. But, crucially, how did the gravitational force between two bodies vary with their distance? Here Newton proposed the inverse square law which states that the force varies inversely as the square of the distance – for example, if the distance doubles the force drops by a factor
Charles Montagu, 1st Earl of Halifax, 1661–1715, by Kneller. Given by Dr Bainbrig. After six years as a Fellow of Trinity, Montagu left in 1689 to pursue a career in politics. In 1694 he steered through Parliament legislation creating the Bank of England, an archetypal central bank, which was soon helping finance William III’s Continental wars. In 1695–6 Montagu arranged for his Trinity friend Isaac Newton to reissue the coinage, which had been severely clipped.
Over the next two years, he made amazing discoveries in mathematics, mechanics, optics and astronomy. As he said later, ‘All this [work] was in the two plague years of 1665 and 1666, for in those days I was in the prime of my life for invention,

bands recapturing the days of Glenn Miller, string quartets playing Mozart and Haydn, the Footlights’ unique brand of surreal wit, and even belly dancers. Great Hall boasts a Venetian masquerade, or a pseudo-Victorian music hall, while the Old Kitchens are turned into the University’s most elegant casino.
In all of these venues, a mouth-watering display of food and drink is on offer. Hog roasts, chocolate fountains, oysters, gourmet pizza and ice creams, vintage cheese boards, port, gin, whisky, cocktails and fi ne wines are all on the menu throughout the evening.
Even with all this meticulously planned profl igacy, most students rate the ball’s success on two of its most transient events: the ten-minute fi reworks and the ‘main (professional) band’. With Trinity’s reputation, the main act is usually the most diffi cult call of the entire ball. For all the effort that goes into the food, drink, aesthetics, security and logistics, it is the headliner which will cement itself into the minds of the ball-goers and fi ll the student newspapers the following morning. Thankfully, Trinity usually gets it right.

CHAPTER 7
Scenes from College Life (1930s–1950s)Music and Chapel
When Francis Hovell-Thurlow-Cumming-Bruce came up
to Trinity his identical twin brother Roualeyn was sent
to Magdalene because this would make things easier ‘if we fell
in love with the same girl’. The precaution proved optimistic; he
cannot remember meeting a single woman during his three years
as an undergraduate.
Britain was in the depths of the Depression, and Marxism
was fashionable. Roualeyn became ‘the hottest of communists’
and introduced Francis to Guy Burgess in the year above;
Francis thought Burgess ‘a cold fi sh’ but liked Donald Maclean.
Unable to counter the Marxist case his younger brother made
at mealtimes during the vacations, Francis became a ‘titular
communist for a while’. He has a vivid memory of the moment
he abandoned the creed; he was ‘lying under a tree in the Bois
de Boulogne reading a book by a Norwegian sociologist – it
knocked the bottom out of Marxism. I was so relieved I didn’t
have to be a Communist any more’.
Coming from Shrewsbury, ‘a good classics school’, he was
told he simply needed to ‘keep his classics freshened up’ to
score a fi rst – which he duly did in Part One. Roualeyn had
spent his fi rst two years making friends with infl uential dons like
Maynard Keynes, and, according to Francis, his papers were ‘an
abomination’ – but he got a fi rst anyway, because, said Francis,
the dons thought it wrong to award a different class to a twin.
From his rooms in Whewells Court he watched A.E. Housman
and Wittgenstein ‘trudging off to hall, neither with a smile on his
lips’. He heard a rumour that Wittgenstein spent his time thinking

Hughes Hall, CambridgeGED MARTIN
Lavishly illustrated and beautifully produced, this book offers an affectionate and
engaging narrative of Hughes Hall’s remarkable story of achievement, tracing the
history of the oldest graduate college in Cambridge back to its modest foundation
in 1885 as the Cambridge Training College for Women Teachers. Ged Martin’s
comprehensive account recreates the chaotic fi rst year, and traces the energetic
improvisation that made an impressive reality out of the novel idea that teachers
should be trained before entering the classroom.
