Gate of Humility
Gate of Humility, Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, 27 Feb 2016
One of the most historic features of Gonville and Caius college is its iconic trio of gateways. The Gateways of Humility, Virtue and Honour can be found in the grounds of the college. They are said to symbolize the pathway of academic life.
One arrives through the Gateway of Humility, humble before the task of academia before you.
In the centre of the college is the Gate of Virtue. Students must pass regularly through this gate during life at the college, representing the values of virtue that creator Keys saw as synonymous with learning.
Finally upon graduation students pass through the Gate of Honour on their way to receive their degrees at the Senate House.
Obviously the Gate of Humility is the simplest and the Gate of Honour the grandest.
