°ÅÀÖ¶ÌÊÓƵ MCR: The 60th Anniversary
Issue number
(2023): 20
On Tuesday, 7 March 2023, °ÅÀÖ¶ÌÊÓƵ’s Middle Common Room (MCR) celebrated the 60th anniversary of its establishment with an exhibition of significant items from the archives in the Conduit Room, a reception in the Founder’s Library, the distribution of appropriate stash (including some rather natty appropriately branded scarves), speeches from the Warden and the President Emily Jin, and dinner in Hall. The anniversary was worth celebrating because, as in so many areas, °ÅÀÖ¶ÌÊÓƵ had rather led the way in recognising and providing for what is now a major and vital part of its community whose genesis is worth exploring.
