First Day at Cambridge University

 

My eldest grandson took up residence at his Cambridge college yesterday. 

He's very happy with his room in college.

The college was founded in 1350, following the devastation of the Black Death plague of the 1340's.

"Trinity Hall was founded by Bishop Bateman of Norwich in 1350, making it the fifth oldest surviving College of the University of Cambridge. Bishop Bateman originally founded the College to promote the study of canon and civil law, probably due to the shortage of clergyman and lawyers following the Black Death of 1349. To this day, the College maintains a very strong tradition in the study of Law."

I wonder what undergraduates throughout the country will make of their first terms

 in the time of the modern plague.

His proud mother puts on a brave face before flying back to the USA today:
