ST CROSS COLLEGE RECORD NUMBER 31 2014 ST CROSS COLLEGE RECORD NUMBER 31, 2014 EDITOR’S NOTE This edition of the St Cross College Record covers the academic year October 2013 to September 2014. I have included reports by most College Officers. I would be pleased to hear from any member of the College past or present who would be prepared to write something for publication. Again I have tried hard to remove errors in Fellows’, Students’ and Members of Common Room entries that have crept in over the years and would be glad to be notified of any errors that remain.
