News and updates from Balliol College
 

March 2018


'The last nearly seven years have been fun - and even the bits that weren’t fun were nothing if not interesting. With quite a few things done, but lots still to be done by my successor, it’s time to say farewell not to Balliol, but to the Mastership. Vivian and I look forward to continuing to explore this rich life in the Balliol family, with old and new friends alike. Floreat Domus.'
Professor Sir Drummond Bone, Master 2011-2018
