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

Both those colleges are older than Catz.

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 :p:

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??
