Worcester - Jonathan Bate

This richly illustrated hardback celebration of Worcester will include much fascinating new research into the history of the College, but it will offer far more than a tour through the archives. There will be sections on College life and College characters as well as our buildings and gardens, our books and pictures, our clubs and societies.Since it is the foundation as Worcester that we are remembering, the emphasis will be on more recent history - including such momentous events as the advent of women in 1979! - though there will of course be an account of our 'pre-history' as Gloucester College and Gloucester Hall, not to mention our brief interlude as the 'Greek College.'Lively reminiscences from those generations past and present will be included, along with memorabilia and vivid contemporary photography, to create a living portrait of Worcester which will be treasured by every Worcester alumnus and alumna.
