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.

BBC 1 Documentary 'Going Up': a personal look at being a new boy in a old University by Sir Antony Jay.
Produced for BBC TV by Ramsay Short.
Shown on BBC 1 on 31 August 1976.
Duration: 49.35 minutes
Footage: 4648 on 35 mm
Accompanying script: 20 pages (the marked portions were for re-transmission in another programme in 1979).

Antony Jay chose Magdalene as the location for his film since he was himself an undergraduate here (Matric. 1948), but unfortunately scenes from the St John's May Ball were misleadingly tagged on to the end.
Apart from the Master, the following Fellows appeared: D.W. Babbage, R.F. Bennett, N. Boyle, T.E.B. Howarth.
The Porter with the lines was Cyril Plumb, towards the end of his 51 years in the job.

The film focussed on three undergraduates 'coming up' as freshmen in October 1975:
M.C. Allen, J.P.C. Rham and N.S.W. Williams, chosen to represent three different types of school: public school (Allen), independent day school (Williams), and comprehensive (Rham); and reading Mathematics, History and Modern Languages respectively.
The Governing Body accepted the film as on the whole a fair representation.

In 1539 Crowland Abbey was dissolved and its land, including that on which Buckingham College stood, were forfeit to the Crown.

In 1542, Thomas, Lord Audley, the Lord Chancellor, asked the King (Henry VIII) to found a new College on the site. Audley would name it, issue its Statutes and endow it. Letters Patent were issued by Henry on 3 April 1542.

The original Letters Patent issued to the College and the corresponding privy seal warrant retained by the Crown have both been lost and, because the grant was never entered onto the Patent Roll, no contemporary copy of the grant survives. The text does survive in numerous copies including in the 'Old Book'. There is also a later copy [MCBG/1/1].

Lord Audley never in his lifetime referred to himself as the 'founder' of Magdalene. His widow, Lady Elizabeth Audley, referred to herself as 'fundatrix' of the College in the original Statutes of 1555. From that time on Audley's heirs have claimed their ancestor to be the founder and principal benefactor of Magdalene.

Transcription of the Letters Patent issued by Henry VIII, 3 April 1542, founding the College [Latin].

At the end of the transcription are added, in the same hand, copies of the following letters [English]:

(1) To the College from Lady Audley and other executors of the Founder to the College, sending the Statutes, 16 February 1555
[dated 16 February 1&2 Phil.& Mar. 1553/4, but this is impossible because Philip’s year 1 (cited first) ran July 1554-July 1555]

(2) To the Master and Fellows from the Duke of Norfolk, Visitor, 24 January 1565

(3) To the Master and Fellows from the 2nd Earl of Suffolk, Visitor, 21 May 1631

The College's Foundation Charter of 1542 laid down that Lord Audley and his heirs should write the statutes to cover the governance of the College. Lord Audley died in 1544 and as nothing had been achieved he wrote in his will that his executors should draw up the statutes. His executors were Lady Elizabeth Audley, Edward Lord North, Sir Thomas Pope, Thomas Barber, and Edmund Martyn and they delivered the statutes on 10 February 1555.

In 1565 the foundation statutes were corrected and additions made. This was done on the original statutes rather than on a separate clean document. They were sent to the Master and Fellows by the then Visitor, Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk on 24 January 1565.

The 1565 Latin statutes were not superseded until a new set was written in 1860. Since then there have been revisions in 1882, 1926, 1957 and 1997.

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