Printed appeals brochure called: Magdalene College Cambridge formerly Monks' Hostel 1428-1542-1928 Appeal for Funds for the Erection of a New Court

On the 500th anniversary of the foundation of the Monks' Hostel an appeal was launched to raise £60,000 to build 12 staircases, each with its separate sets of rooms, in the new court which the College planned to create by removing the shops facing Magdalene Street (not enough money was raised from this appeal to allow for the design of the new court to be realised).

The brochure includes three colour drawings of the proposed new court as seen from Quay Side, the river and the air, and ground and first floor plans.

Diaries of Robert Broadbent who was an undergraduate at Magdalene College between 1928 and 1933 (the diaries start just before his arrival in College (Jan 1928) and run on after he has left (Dec 1933) and there are further entries for May 1934).

The diaries are in six volumes, one per year. There is also a shortened and edited version entitled Myself when Young, 1928-1933 which Broadbent completed for the College in 1980. There are three appendices:
(1) Principal characters
(2) Last days in India, 1947 based on letters to his wife
(3) one term's accounts as an undergraduate

There is also a copy of the address given at his funeral in 1989.
