Censor of Fitzwilliam House/Censor of Non-Collegiate Students
Fitzwilliam Hall/House in Trumpington Street, acquired by the University in 1892, served as the centre of the corporate life of the Non-Collegiate students first admitted to the University in 1869. Under the 1926 statutes the office became a University Administrative Office. In 1954 the University voted (grace 3 of 27 Nov.) to terminate the non-collegiate system. For 1954-5 W. S. Thatcher had the title and duties of Senior Tutor of Fitzwilliam House, and the Assistant Censor, W. W. Williams, agreed to act as Censor from 1 October 1955 for so long as should prove necessary. Effectively the censors acted as head of house for the non-collegiate students attached to Fitzwilliam House, and when Fitzwilliam achieved collegiate status in 1966 W. W. Grave was the first Master. References to the post were deleted from the Statutes by Grace 22 of 1 December 1965 and Order in Council dated 11 August 1966.

was abolished in 1570 'ut papistica', but seems not to have been filled after 1558.
