Excerpt from The Cambridge University Calendar for the Year 1840 The Divinity, Law, and Physic Schools are open during the whole of every Term, and the keeping of all Acts, except the former which are confined to every other Thursday, is entirely at the discretion of the respective Professors. All Festivals, Saints' days, and Sundays, are surplice-days, and the evening preceding are surplice-evenings; but on May 29, June 20, and November 5, surplices are worn in the morning only. On Litany days the Doctors and Noblemen wear their robes, and the Proctors their congregation-ruffs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
