Churchill College, Cambridge

The Churchill College is a college of the University of Cambridge. It was established in 1958 in memory of Winston Churchill.

Winston Churchill was impressed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and was a similar institution in the UK. His plans were transformed to the more modest proposal to establish an aligned on Science and Technology College, Cambridge University. Churchill wanted a mixture with non-scientists to ensure a rounded education and environment for students and professors. The primary focus on science and engineering is expressed to this day, in principle, to want to achieve a ratio of 3 to 1 from technology to arts in the student body.
