After enjoying a formal at Corpus Christi and Pembroke Colleges, our students headed over to the Sheldonian Theatre for the Closing Ceremony. After being reminded by the theatre’s staff that the building is *very* old and to *please try not to break anything*, they settled down to hear speeches from Professor Jim Basker, Director Michael McKinley, and faculty.
Each teacher gave a short speech before awarding their class Book Prize. You could tell that The Oxford Tradition had been a success, as every teacher enthused about the intelligence, development, and all round enthusiasm of their students. There were even threats of violence between Christina Floe and Caroline Batten, of Neuropsychology and Literature and the Fantastic, over whose class was the best.
To round off the evening, Mia Huber serenaded us with an original song about the friendship she has found at The Oxford Tradition. She was received so well that she couldn’t have escaped from giving an encore without widespread restlessness. After a sing-a-long, Mia gave a bow, and the students started to head over to Pembroke College for the mysterious final event.
