Murray Edwards College
Murray Edwards was founded over 60 years ago as the third Cambridge College to provide education for outstanding women.
The College began as New Hall with just 16 students at a temporary home on Silver Street in 1954. The College was able to relocate to Castle Hill due to the Darwin family donating their home. The College buildings were opened in 1963 with 300 students.
In 2008 Alumna Ros Edwards and her husband Steve Edwards, donated £30 million to the College - the largest personal donation in the University's 800 year history.
