Cambridge Apostles

The Cambridge Apostles is a secret society at the University of Cambridge, founded in the early 19th century. It consists of a small group of students known for their intellectual discussions and literary pursuits. The society emphasizes debate, friendship, and mutual support among its members, often discussing philosophical, political, and cultural topics. While its activities are private, many notable figures, including poets, politicians, and scientists, have been alumni. The society’s informal nature and commitment to free thought foster a unique environment for the exchange of ideas among some of Cambridge's brightest minds.
