Hughes Hall, Cambridge

Hughes Hall is the oldest graduate College in the University of Cambridge. It was originally founded in 1885 as the Cambridge Training College (CTC) for women and the principal was Miss Elizabeth Phillips Hughes. In 1885 it started with fourteen students in a small house in Newnham called Croft Cottage. By 1895 the College moved to its present site, which was designed by the Cambridge architect William Fawcett. Expanding slowly over the next 40 years, the college finally became part of the University in 1949 and was renamed Hughes Hall, after its first, inspirational principal.

Hughes Hall

The College's first male students arrived in 1973, and students began to arrive to study a wider range of affiliated post-graduate degrees. Student numbers have gradually risen over the eighties and nineties, with over 350 students, now including mature undergraduate students, studying a wide range of subjects.

Boat Club

Hughes Hall Boat Club has enjoyed very considerable success in recent years. In the 2007 May Bumps, both the Men's and Women's crews won blades in their respective divisions. By doing so, the Boat Club also won the 2nd Pegasus Cup, awarded annually to the most successful boat club in Cambridge.

The achievements of the boat club is even more significant considering the fact that Hughes Hall admits many students on one-year degrees. As such, the boat club trains many novices each year, and top performers are often given opportunities in the first VIII.

The Boat Club houses its four rowing shells in the Emmanuel Boathouse. The women's crew is organised jointly with Lucy Cavendish Boat Club.
