I've post reported it to get it moved, which is what you should do in future when you think a thread needs moving - I don't think the mods have time to read through every post looking for messages that say "please could this be moved?"

So, what do people think of St. Catherines? It's the newest college in Oxford.

No it isn't... Harris Manchester and Mansfield spring to mind, for a start...

Catz was founded in 1962, as a formalisation into a college from a Collegiate Society (St Catherine's Society) founded in 1874 and recognised by the University in 1931.

Mansfield became a college in 1995, and Harris Manchester in 1996. They were PPHs before admittedly - if you want a examples of colleges which weren't PPHs before try Green (fd. 1979), St Cross (fd 1975), Wolfson (1965), or Templeton (1965).

I think celeritas meant newest undergrad college/PPH.

But even then Blackfriars only became a PPH in 1994, and they take undergraduates. Bah, I can't really be bothered with this. Believe what you want to believe. Bedtime for me.

Wow! Nice one! First post on such a specific thread !

Well, despite the fact that St. Catz is the newest undergrad college, it already has 3 nobel prize winners (all graduates) for chemistry alone.

Hmm... well that's quite impressive (I'm impressed) but I'm not going to be doing chemistry....
Psychology tutors? Any nobel prize winners there??

Hi guys. I'm from Catz in Cam.

Just wanted to know if the term "St Catz" was more associated with you and plain "Catz" with us.

Thanks.
