This club was founded in 1862 although there were packs kept in Cambridge before this date which were the fore runners of the club.

In 1862 R. G. Hoare (Trinity College) brought his private pack of beagles to Cambridge and in 1867 W. E. Currey (Trinity College, Tutor) brought his beagles over from his home in Ireland. These two packs established beagling firmly in Cambridge.

According to The Trinity Foot Beagles 1862 – 1912 by F. Claude Kempson published in 1912 the Trinity Foot Beagles were a subscription pack managed by undergraduates and hunted in the countryside around Cambridge. There was no formal constitution, no committee, nor any meeting of the subscribers, nor a balance-sheet, nor any positive connection with Trinity College, although traditionally there are strong links with both Trinity and Magdalene Colleges. Any member of the University was welcome to join in as long as he paid a subscription.

Kempson credits William Edward Currey (Trinity College) as being the founder and Rowland Hunt (Magdalene College) as being co-founder.

Claude Kempson.

These were left in the Reading Room so members of College could make there suggestions and comments. They covered all aspects of College life. Suggestions are on one page with comments on the facing page made by the Honorary General Secretary.

Believed to be an undergraduate dining society although very little is know about it. Mentioned in the College Magazine editorial (Vol. 3, No. 2. March 1914]

"The Kingsley still exists and has had one or two amusing papers. I hope the Spiders - a club of another nature - is not being left to die. It would be a pity if an Institution of such comparative antiquity should cease to be; we look to men who take an interest in matters social to see to it. After all the senior members of College manage to keep the Pepys Dinner alive!"

Minutes of meetings of the Scientific Society which includes, at the beginning, the objects of the society.

In existence between 1919 and 1925.

The Rugby Club was formed in 1875 after a meeting was held in Mr Pine's rooms on 25 October.
The Captain of the Boat Club took the chair at the first meeting and was elected to the Presidency of the new club. Mr Whitehead was chosen as the first captain.
The first rugby match was played on the Corpus ground on 29 October and ended in a draw in favour of Corpus by 5 tries to nothing. The next game against Clare was played on Parker's Piece (the scene of University rugby matches until the municipal authorities objected tot he damage done). The result was a draw in favour of Magdalene by one try and a touchdown to nothing. The final game of the first season was against a joint team from St Peter's and St Catherine's and the score was Magdalene 5 touchdowns, Combined Colleges 3 tries and 2 touchdowns. Under the old rules no match could be won unless a goal was kicked. New rules came into force in November.
The game was then very different to the modern game with most international and club sides having 13 forwards and 7 outsides.
