Following the interest in our post a few days ago about the demolition of the Forum Dance Hall in 1965, here's a bit more about the 'New Buildings' (the Wolfson Hall, Emden, Kelly, etc) for which it made way...
The Wolfson was officially opened on 26 June 1970 by Lady Wolfson. Thanks to Julia Johnson-Fry for the first photo, which shows Sir Harold Macmillan (Chancellor of the University, and Visitor of St Edmund Hall) arriving for the ceremony - accompanied by The Revd Dr Joh...n Kelly on the right, with the then Vice-Chancellor, Mr Alan Bullock, in the background. The photo was taken through the window of what is now the College Office but which was the Bursary back then.
The following day, there was a celebratory garden party for all the subscribers to the New Buildings Fund - around 700 people attended!
Emden and Kelly residential blocks were occupied for the first time by undergraduates and graduates at the beginning of Michaelmas Term 1969. The SEH Magazine reports: "The occupation was only achieved by the narrowest of margins, for the young men came into residence on Thursday 9 October and the workmen were busy until late at night on Wednesday and most of Thursday laying carpets, installing beds, and carrying out other finishing touches in the bed-sitters."
The Wolfson wasn't ready until a little later, with the first meal held there on Thursday 15 January 1970 - for 190 people ("the largest company of Aularians that has ever dined together in one place" said the Magazine of that year).

Happy Saturday from #TeddyHall!
Did you know that the chough appears on each of the four quarters of the St Edmund Hall crest? A native of Cornwall (the county associated with the College's early Principals), this black bird is distinguished by its red beak and legs.
The chough also features on the sundial in Front Quad, which you can see in these photos.
... What's more, the College's semi-official crocheted chough mascot has her very own Instagram page! You can follow her @sehchough.

Six unforgettable years at Teddy Hall, a real privilege.

My single most life changing experience; best 3 years of my life (so far...)

It's an absolutely marvellous place!

I've met some of the nicest people in Oxford through Teddy Hall!

HI, CITIZENS ! ONLY SCIENCE IS ABLE TO UNMUSK A FARCE,

AND WORLD SHOULD KNOW THAT …



Dungeons of democracy.

Os “subterrâneos da democracia”, in portuguese ...



... Em meio ao charco moral que vivemos há mais de 20 anos, estamos levando ao Judiciário Brasileiro questionamentos bastante relevantes e oportunos sobre direitos e deveres constitucionais. Preceitos que devem ser respeitados por todos os brasileiros. Ou não ?????



ISSO PODE ??

- Um político, ou o "Legislativo" como alguns preferem (diluindo responsabilidades), está autorizado a usar o poder conferido nas urnas para interferir a favor de seus cupinchas na iniciativa privada, esfera totalmente estranha ao serviço público???



- A Constituição Brasileira confere a um homem público o poder de pedir a cabeça, prejudicar irremediavelmente um(a) jornalista independente, sem qualquer vínculo partidário e que, por isso mesmo jamais seria útil a projetos de poder ???



-Nesse mesmo cenário, inimaginável num Estado Democrático de Direito, um presidente da república poderia ignorar o capítulo das garantias fundamentais que asseguram direitos iguais para todos os cidadãos brasileiros ??? Poderia ele interferir a favor de profissionais de sua confiança, em qualquer segmento da sociedade, de acordo com suas conveniências pessoais e políticas, em detrimento dos direitos dos que recusam proteção dessa natureza, mesmo sofrendo violento assédio moral por parte dos que têm blindagem oficial e certeza absoluta da impunidade ???



No nosso entendimento, trata-se de um exemplo típico de abuso de poder, só possível em regimes totalitários como o que vivemos de 64 a 85.

Numa democracia seria o impensável. Uma promiscuidade entre o público e o privado, corrupção, um achincalhe.



Como nós, outros cidadãos brasileiros também devem estar buscando respostas para situações inimagináveis como essas. E há muito tempo.



São os devidos, e já absurdamente tardios pontos nos iiiii.

REGRAS EXISTEM PRA TODOS. Ou pra ninguém.



Whatever the human law may be, and that is not the case, neither an individual nor a nation can commit the least act of injustice against the obscurest individual without having to pay the penalty for it. By hook or crook .

Floreat Aula! Proud to be Teddy Hall. A great experience

Best place! - Teddy Admirers

A most wondrous place - the oldest original building since the University's foundation still standing majestically!

A beautiful place!

If you wish to re-live your student days then - this maybe be the place. Prefer a decent hotel? I'd advise Jury's Inn for Premier Inn - costs more but - you get what you pay for. But must add - the staff were perfect.

shitty internet

Very rude member of staff. With very foul language.

Extremely poor admin, poorer welfare, lack of educational motivation - go elsewhere, there are plenty of better colleges. Drinking a little out of control here too, not to mention everyone seems to think they're god's gift to underprivileged groups of people.
