'Clare Rugby and Boating Society', established in the late 1920s-early 1930s. Founder members included Paul Mellon. Has functioned as an active social and drinking society at Clare throughout the past century and continues to meet to this day.
The final volume of the Clare Association Annual was produced for the academic year 2015-16 - as of 2017 the publication has been combined with the College Annual Report to form Clare News , a newsletter produced by the College Development Office.
Early governance of the College was the responsibility of the Master and evidence is available in the Master's Old Book (CCAD/1/1/1) and the first Register of leases (CCAD/3/1/1/1) . Subsequent governance of the College followed similar procedures to those of today and resulting records are included here.
Strict clauses had been added to the 1551 statutes so not more than two Fellows could come from the same county of the UK (presumably to discourage cronyism). This was overturned in this 1828 revision: 'in future the society be directed by that part of the original statutes of Lady Clare which declares that no question is to be made of what nation the candidates are'.
The early history of Council appears to begin with a body referred to as "Master and Fellows in College" (c. 1762-1926) and is then succeeded by the "Master and Senior Fellows" (1860-1898) with occasional references to "Masters and Fellows in residence" before finally becoming the Council from 1898; there is some overlap with the history of the Governing Body and some minutes of Council may be found in those volumes with the earliest surviving minutes of Council for 1858-1887 in a volume of mainly Governing Body minutes (CCGB/2/1/6).
The Finance Committee first appears in 1926 as a separate entity from the Council or Governing Body
The Estates Committee has undergone various name changes and was known before as the Buildings, Amenities and Green Committee, the Buildings and Gardens and Green Strategic Sub Committee (BAGG) and the Liaison Committee before that. This series therefore includes papers relating to these three committees.
This Colleges wide committee was established to oversee the development and conservation of the Backs area of Cambridge.
