The earliest University statutes were probably devised piece-meal, but complete bodies of statutes were imposed on the University from the time of Edward VI. The most durable were those given by Queen Elizabeth in 1570, which remained in force until the 1850s. From the 16th century any statute drawn up by the University itself has been subject to confirmation or enforcement by the crown. The precise manner in which the statutes are to be observed was anciently laid down in a series of interpretations by the Vice-Chancellor and Heads of Houses; since the mid 19th century it has been embodied in printed ordinances.

The title on the former front cover which was destroyed on rebinding post-1975 was:
'The olde statutes of the Universetie of Camebridge reformed'.

At a meeting of the Governing Body, 6 October 1931:
"It was agreed that a system of Committees to prepare business for meetings of the Governing Body and to make recommendations to it should be tried experimentally for one year".

It was felt that the needs would be met by the appointment of a Tutorial and a Finance and General Business Committee.

[for full terms of the Committees see: MCGB/4/2/5]

At a meeting of the Governing Body on 11 October 1932 it was agreed to continue the system of Committees.

The Committee would 'consider all matters that arise in connection with College Buildings, College property and finance, College servants and general administration'.
