| Clare College: About Clare (History) (1570 words) |
| In the early sixteenth century, particularly in the reign of Henry VIII (1509-47), the nation was in turmoil as a result of the royally-driven movement to religious reform and rejection of papal control of the Church. |
| Clare in the eighteenth century is similarly marked by the careers of a number of remarkable men. |
| A few years later, in 1972, Clare was one of three Cambridge colleges to admit undergraduate women, a change which had a dramatic effect on the nature of the society, particularly in the immediately enhanced academic standing of the college in examination results. |
