Logician and philosopher. Born Hull where his father was vicar of a local parish. Grandson of Rev John Venn. Inventor of the Venn diagram. In 1888 he seems to have tired of logic and turned to history, researching Caius College (his own, more properly Gonville and Caius College), his own family and then the whole of Cambridge University. Died Cambridge.
