The Master's Blog The Master of St Cross, Carole Souter, keeps a regular blog where she writes about College goings-on, exciting news and the day-to-day life of an Oxford Head of House.
Exploring African Connections Tuesday 12 March 2019 On Saturday 2 March, we combined our annual College and alumni gathering, known as ‘Fred’s Lunch’ in honour of our late fellow Fred Hodcroft, with a day of ‘Exploring African Connections’.
Week 4, Hilary Term Thursday 7 February 2019 Yes, it is Week 4 already. We are in February. We have had glorious clear weather and we have had snow.
Late Summer Blog, 2018 Friday 21 September 2018 The end of Trinity term, as always, brought celebrations and farewells for those students graduating at the end of their courses.
Week 0, Trinity Term Friday 20 April 2018 Although the break saw rather a lot of rain – not just in the UK – I hope everyone had a chance to recharge their batteries.
Looking back over Hilary Term Tuesday 3 April 2018 Another term done: and what a few weeks it’s been. We’ve had snow, a Royal visitor, and the Oxford Literary Festival and, as the clocks have gone forward, spring might just have arrived.
Week 4, Hilary Term Wednesday 7 February 2018 It’s hard to believe that we are already in Week 4. Hilary is galloping by and I need to get back into the groove of blogging.
Week 5, Michaelmas Term Saturday 11 November 2017 Week 5 already: the pace of meetings is picking up – and the Hall is still wonderfully crowded at lunch time.
Week 2, Michaelmas Term Monday 16 October 2017 Here we are: well into Michaelmas and beginning to find the rhythm of the new academic year.
Summer Blog Friday 28 July 2017 Here we are in late July, a time when, if you believe many commentators, the University has gone on holiday en masse and those of us left in Oxford are all enjoying strawberries and cream and Pimm's at endless garden parties.
Week 7, Trinity Term Friday 9 June 2017 This blog is (almost) an election-free zone. So much has been happening in and around College that it is hard to know where to start!
Week 4, Trinity Term Tuesday 16 May 2017 It seems we may need to wait for the glorious English summer that I mentioned in the last blog – but the gardens of Oxford and beyond are undoubtedly grateful for a little rain.
Week 2, Trinity Term Friday 5 May 2017 The wisteria and ceanothus are in flower in the West Quad and almost all the trees are in leaf: the new walnut is looking very healthy, and the mulberry is starting to open.
Christmas Blog Monday 19 December 2016 There’s a Christmas tree at No 10 and we’re looking forward to welcoming friends over the holiday period.
Week 8, Michaelmas Term Thursday 1 December 2016 Week 8 and we have to admit that summer is behind us and winter has set in. But that’s OK, because winter brings hearty meals, crisp walks and holidays.
