St John's College, Cambridge

Ledgers (1864-1883)

Six ledgers from 1864 to 1883 which recorded how much students owed during the different academic terms. The students name is given at the top of a table which is followed by a full breakdown in terms of who the student owes money to and their total bill. The table is divided into two sections. The first part recorded the student’s bill to the college, which included their rent and tuition alongside the money they owed the cooks and laundress. The second section of the table recorded the student’s bill to tradesmen and businesses outside of the college, such as the bookseller and ironmonger. At the bottom of the table is the student’s total bill. The ledger recorded which students had money deducted from their bills due to scholarship or exhibitions. If the student owed money to the college previously, then this amount was also added to the new total bill in the ledger.
