There is also a Corpus Christi College, Oxford.
This is the source of some confusion. I have been looking for an old obituary in "The Pelican Record", identified as the magazine of "Corpus Christi College".
Wouldn't you know that Corpus Christi College, Cambridge has a Pelican logo on its home page? (http://www.corpus.cam.ac.uk/)
However it appears that the Pelican Record is the magazine of Corpus Christi College, Oxford.
Clarification from Oxford, Cambridge, or knowledgeable outsiders would be welcome. Thanks.

CCC Cambridge also has a magazine, sent mainly to alumni, called the pelican with the 'modern' pelican logo as seen on the website.

If you are looking for obituaries from Corpus, Cam, , the place to look is the newsletter of the Corpus Association (Should be available from the College). The pelican is a much trendier publication, dealing with more recent events.

[edit] Sources Needed??
Do you really need verifiable sources for the bits of student lore near the bottom of the page? Most of them are well-known among Corpuscles, but you'd have a hard job finding any of them in print.
- Yes, you do need them. See WP:V. 81.168.22.81 00:29, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
Well you quite frankly ain't likely to get 'em, 81.168.22.81|81.168.22.81.
- If that's the case, I'll remove some of the more questionable things in a little while. 81.168.22.81 14:29, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

- As per this discussion, I've removed many of the unsourced statements, especially those which appear unverifiable by reliable sources.. this decision was inspired by Wikipedia:No reliable sources, no verifiability, no article. If these statements are reinstated with no sources, I will probably remove them again. 131.111.8.99 11:40, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Oddities not Trivia
The injunction against 'trivia' implies that information should be left out when it is trivial. But, in the case of this section, the information is not at all trivial. Rather, it is intrinsic to the College's identity to itself and to the world, indicative of its culture, and exactly the sort of information people want to read about a College when they look for it in the Encyclopaedia. Indeed most, if not all, of this information is included in any good book on the College, and a substantial proportion of it can be found on the official College website. One might quibble with the presentation of the information in a bullet list but, to be perfectly honest, the only way to change this would be to put it into a rather disordered paragraph which would greatly complicate the process of adding more of these interesting facts. I would argue that the 'trivia' tag should be removed from the section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dreadnought1906 (talk • contribs) 14:07, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
