Abstract: 

Major aspects of the life of Charles Taylor, Master of St John’s College, Cambridge, are illustrated from the diaries he kept from 1887 until his death in 1908. Although sometimes regarded as ineffective, he maintained an active schedule dealing with college business. However, he will be forever remembered with Solomon Schechter for their joint achievement in bringing thousands of Cairo Genizah manuscripts to Cambridge University Library.
