Content and context

The society was, at one time, known as the Cambridge University Junior Theological Society and was considered secondary to the University of Cambridge Theological Society. It took its better known name from Fenton John Anthony Hort (1828-92), the biblical scholar and theologian. Initially membership was by invitation only to encourage members of the society to become better acquainted with one another and to ensure a reliable size of audience for its guest speaker programme.

This item was transferred to the University Archives from the Manuscripts Department on 18 October 2007. It had been transferred from the Divinity Faculty Library to the Manuscripts Department on 7 June 1995 and had been given the classmark Ms.Add.9310
