1. Title: A Benefactor's Legacy: William Platt and St John's College, Cambridge William Platt (1579-1637), a prominent figure in the history of St John's College, Cambridge, is depicted in this evocative portrait. Born in London, Platt rose to become a successful lawyer and politician in the early 17th century. His enduring connection to St John's College began in 1616 when he was appointed a Fellow, and later becoming a benefactor, leaving a significant impact on the institution. The image of William Platt, captured in the late 16th or early 17th century, shows him wearing the traditional academic gown of the time. His serious expression and piercing gaze convey a sense of intelligence and determination. The intricate details of his clothing, including the fur-lined collar and the elaborate embroidery on his sleeves, reflect the wealth and status that Platt had amassed throughout his career. Platt's generosity towards St John's College was immense. He donated substantial sums of money to support the construction of the College's new buildings, including the beautiful Wren Library and the Platt's Building. Moreover, he established scholarships and grants to provide financial assistance to students in need. These acts of benevolence have left a lasting impression on the College, which continues to thrive as a center of academic excellence. The portrait of William Platt serves as a poignant reminder of the transformative power of philanthropy. His unwavering commitment to St John's College has shaped the institution's history and continues to inspire generations of scholars. The legacy of this remarkable benefactor lives on, as the College carries forward the tradition of academic excellence and intellectual curiosity that Platt championed during his time.
