Cambridge University: Darwin2009

Charles Darwin, having decided the life of a Hanoverian/Victorian doctor was not for him, went to Christ's College Cambridge in 1828. His intention (with his father's determined foot behind him) was to become an Anglican clergyman. While there he seems to have spent as much time collecting beetles as getting his head around the theology, philosophy, mathematics and physics that made up his BA degree. By his own admission the work made him miserable.

Cambridge is proud of Darwin, has done a wonderful job putting his papers online and in July 2009 they're holding a big conference to celebrate his achievements, with some big scientific names already signed up. Website here. I nicked the logo above from it because it's so classy, all rights acknowledged, hope they don't mind in exchange for the conference write up and link.
