Resumoniece Agnes a certain tendency to laesa majestas-it was only by the gentlest of posthumous rebukes that she and the world were to discover it.Her sister Margaret, he said, was to have the better of the two beds that he had bequeathed them."Linacre was buried in old St. Paul's before the rood screen of the west door, a spot chosen by himself.His grave was marked by no memorial for more than 30 years, wNhen John Caius, during his presidency of the College, erected a monument to his memory at his own cost.This perished when the cathedral was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666.Caius and Gilbert John Caius, whose presidency extended with intervals from 1555 to 1571, set out for Italy in 1539 and studied physics at Padua under Montanus, the greatest medical teacher of the time.Caius lodged in the same house as Vesalius, the celebrated anatomist, who possibly may have fired Caius's enthusiasm in this direction, for in 1564 Caius introduced anatomies, as they were called-that is, demon- strations of dissections-into Cambridge.Those demon- strations were not the first to be held in England, as they had been introduced 20 years earlier at the Barber-Surgeons' Hall in London, where Caius had lectured on anatomy.He is usually regarded as the founder of the study of anatomy in this country.He is said to have modelled his life upon the example of Linacre, and, like him, devoted much time to the collation and translation of Greek medical writers, but, unlike Linacre, he recorded the results of his own observations.These appeared in 1552 under the title of " A Boke of Counseil against the Disease commonly called the Sweate or Sweating Sickness."This is said to be the first instance of a medical book being published in English, but he afterwards republished it in Latin.It was Caius who designed the insignia by which the President of the College should be fittingly honoured-the cushion of crimson velvet, edged with gold, placed before the President on all solemn meetings, and the caduceus, its head adorned with the arms of the College supported oy four serpents, which the President carries to remind him by its material-silver-as Caius quaintly says, to govern with patience and courtesy, and by its symbols, the serpents, with judgment and wisdom.Caius is said to have foretold the very day of his own death, and to have chosen his own epitaph, Fui Caius, still to be seen in the Chapel of Caius College.
