December 2017


'It's the end of another Michaelmas Term again. It's been busy as always, with the students going home on holiday. Then there was a rush of new faces arriving for admissions, many of them - like the porters - having struggled to get here in the snow. We look forward to seeing some of them here next year.'  
Alain Hunt, Lodge Porter
