Caius was a learned, active and benevolent man. In 1557 he erected a monument in [[St Paul's Cathedral]] to the memory of [[Thomas Linacre]]. In 1564, he obtained a grant for Gonville and Caius College to take the bodies of two malefactors annually for [[dissection]]; he was thus an important pioneer in advancing the science of [[anatomy]]. He probably devised, and certainly presented, the silver [[caduceus]] now in the possession of Caius College as part of its insignia. He first gave it to the College of Physicians, and afterwards presented the London College with another.<ref name="EB1911"/>
