As Oxford continues in drought, we were pleased that some much needed rain fell on our quads this week! 🌦️

"How beautiful is the rain!
After the dust and heat,
In the broad and fiery street,
In the narrow lane,
How beautiful is the rain!
How it clatters along the roofs,
Like the tramp of hoofs
How it gushes and struggles out
From the throat of the overflowing spout!"

(from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, 'Rain in Summer')

Two portraits of former Jesus College Principals have recently been added to the collection of paintings in the college’s Dining Hall. A new portrait of recently-retired Principal Professor Sir Nigel Shadbolt (2015-2026), painted by Benjamin Sullivan, now hangs to the right of the Hall fireplace. To the left is a portrait of former Principal Ernest Hardy (1921-1925) painted by Henry Lamb. The portrait shows Hardy as blind, and research suggests that he is the only known Head of House of an Oxbridge college to be elected after becoming blind. 🔎Read more: https://www.jesus.ox.ac.uk/college-reveals-new-hall-portraits-of-former-principals/

Professor Griffiths is Professor of Primary Care at the University of Oxford and at Queen Mary University of London. 🔎Read more: https://www.jesus.ox.ac.uk/introduction-of-londons-ultra-low-emission-zone-linked-to-improved-lung-growth-in-children/

Useful knowledge
Ev’rywhere one finds,
And already,
Growing steady,
We’ve enlarged our minds!”
