Ralph Cudworth born 1617; BA 1635/6; MA 1639 D,D, 1651 Fellow Emmanuel 1639; Master Clare by authority of parliament 1645, but accepted only in 1650. Master of Christ's 1654-88. He married a rich London widow and had a daughter and three sons with her. The sons and some cousins all came to Christ's. He was a notable Platonist and controversialist in the time of More and Locke, but free from Henry More's mysticism. He died in College in 1688 still in harness (probably of prostate cancer?).
