This extraordinary database is the fourth in a series which contains
biographies of alumni of Cambridge University in England. Compiled by J. A.
Venn, a former president of Queen's College, the collection spans alumni
from the university's earliest records through 1900. In this volume, the
alumni with last names from K to O are included. Each biography reveals
notable accomplishments, birthdate, other schooling, spouse, and important
associations. Although not comprehensive, the source documents lacking, this
work is a valuable tool in finding English ancestors who were students at
this premier British university.
