[edit] Grace
Added grace translation - sourced from the chapel term card.Alf 00:15, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
If anyone has that graces of the Oxford and Cambridge colleges book, I'm be gratefull of definitive reference, else I'll have to do the unmentionable in Blackwells :) --Alf melmac 19:22, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

- I'd suggest that the chapel term card is the definitive reference, seeing as it's what's used night after night in Hall. But seeing it in print is appealing too. -- (James McNally) (talkpage) 22:25, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

- I'm sure there is a copy in the College library - in fact i've seen a copy, though i'm not sure exactly where it was....! 86.139.83.135 08:37, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
I think the grace should say "a iuventute nostra" not "an" - that is what is lodged in my memory anywhere and it makes more sense. I will change it, but please change it back if I am wrong!Nhojjohn 13:34, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] College templates
I have created a series of templates for former students of Oxford's various colleges. There are still plenty to do, but if you want to add one of the templates to your user page then feel free. See Wikipedia:Userboxes/University of Oxford college templates for complete list. Please contact me if you would like another college fast-tracked...

[edit] Cecil
The Yahoo travel guide for Oxford reckon that the statue of Cecil "is the only one in Oxford of a man in civilian as opposed to clerical or military dress". Anyone able to ref that better than Yahoo? --Alf melmac 18:30, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
- If Lazarus counts as a man, then the New College Epstein gives it the lie. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 22:33, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] See also
Although I have moved the list of Oriel people to it's own article and linked it accordingly, now jpbowen has created Oriel Square, and made me aware of Oriel Square tennis court would a 'See also' section to include those, St Mary Hall, Oxford and St Bartholomew's Chapel be of use? --Alf melmac 19:22, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
- jpbowen has suggested category use, so that should cover this if needed. --Alf melmac 15:28, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Film and fiction
There's enough of Oriel used as location on film to be worth mentioning, imdb has two - Inspector Morse (which is also fully listed in the guide book of Inspector Morse, if anyone has copy) and Framed, there's the recent Lewis, and used as a backdrop for some of Michael Woods's Gilbert White: Nature Man. What to do about it eh? --Alf melmac 00:16, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Rannie mentions (in the Athletics section, p235) the 1842 Head of the River race with Oriel bumping Trinity to win the headship and it being used in Tom Brown at Oxford - but "St Ambrose" is Oriel and "Oriel" is Trinity... --Alf melmac 14:46, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
