A Register of Admissions to King's College, Cambridge, 1850-1900: With a List of Those Admitted Before 1850 who Were Living on the 1st of January, 1903. Compiled with Short Biographical Notes by John J. Withers

Published in 1903, this register serves as a comprehensive archival record of individuals admitted to King’s College, Cambridge, during the latter half of the nineteenth century. Compiled by John James Withers, a solicitor and alumnus of the college, the volume was intended to provide a scholarly foundation for the college's historical records. It meticulously organizes admissions chronologically while offering brief biographical summaries that trace the academic and professional trajectories of its members.

The volume functions as a significant primary source for Victorian-era institutional history. Withers was tasked with bridging the archival gap for the period between 1850 and 1900, while also documenting the living alumni who had joined prior to the mid-century mark. The design prioritizes utilitarian clarity and administrative accuracy, reflecting the rigorous standards of British academic record-keeping at the turn of the century. It remains a essential reference for historians studying the social composition and educational output of Cambridge during a period of substantial university reform.
