St Catherine's college's architecture was inspired by the slums in india after its architect spent an day there tripped up in LSD.


The moat around St Catz was apparently constructed to prevent students from escaping :eek: - to more attractive colleges :biggrin:

If this stops being amusing and starts being a slanging match between people who aren't even here yet, then I shall be sad.

i) Why 'if'? Surely 'when', or even better 'because', are more suitable?
ii) Where's your fire and brimstone?! Be sad?! You're a mod! "Delete the thread and ban the lot of ya" is what the people wanna hear!

The Indian female poet and freedom fighter/feminist, the first female governor of an Indian State, Sarojini Naidu studied at Girton College :biggrin:! (Cambridge).

Nah, I like the thread, it's entertaining. I dislike "Oxford smell!" "No, Cambridge smell more!" from people yet to matriculate :wink:

Apparently a fun sport (2nd to watching people trying to break onto Platform 9 3/4 at King's Cross) is wandering round the Botanic Gardens in Oxford on Midsummer's Day spotting people looking for windows :wink:

Due to a change in regulations banning climbing on college buildings, Trinity College Cambridge's statue of Henry VIII still shows him wielding a wooden chair leg, as no-one's allowed to climb up and change it. IIRC, the sword was lost after the changeover.

Oxford do smell, though. I would think it even if I had missed my offer. I have a personal grudge against t'other place.

Natasha Kaplinsky went to Hertford. The JCR got a new room this year, and we got to vote on what it would be called, with The Kaplinsky Room being one of the options. That option was beaten by "The RON Room" (amongst others)

Sidney Sussex JCR recently renamed their TV room the "Karl Kennedy TV Room" in honour of that beloved star of every student's favourite Aussie soap.
The rivalry between Lincoln and Brasenose is founded on a tragic incident (apparently)- in which during the fights with the town, a student had tried to get into one of the colleges (which was not his- forgot which) and wasn't able to, and so met an awful end :frown:
