Now Dr Pippa Rogerson will be the 43rd person and, of course, the first woman to hold the ‘Master’ title in Gonville and Caius College’s 669-year history. She will officially assume her new role in 2018 when the inucumbant reitres. She is also the college’s director of studies for law too and she estimates that she has about 500 past law students from around the world.
