Corpus Christi College
Corpus Christi College (full name: The College of Corpus Christi and the Blessed Virgin Mary, often shortened to "Corpus", or previously sometimes "The Body") is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge. It is notable as the only college founded by Cambridge townspeople: it was established in 1352 by the Guilds of Corpus Christi and the Blessed Virgin Mary, making it the sixth-oldest college in Cambridge. With around 500 students and fellows, it is also the second smallest of the traditional colleges of the University (after Peterhouse), and the smallest in terms of undergraduate student intake.
