John Caius [1]
(Kaye or Key, Latinized into Caius), M.D., was born at Norwich Oct. 6,1510, and became successively first physician to Edward VI, Mary, and Elizabeth. He died July 29,1573. He founded the college which bears his name at Cambridge for twenty-three students. He was a good classical scholar, and wrote many treatises on subjects connected with medicine and natural history. He published also a treatise on the antiquity of the University of Cambridge (which he states was founded by one Cantaber, 394 years before Christ), and another on the pronunciation of Greek and Latin. His tomb still remains in Caius College, with only this inscription, "Fui Caius."
