London School Trip #2: Off to Cambridge...


So my professor helped put on a historical conference in Cambridge and so we (UCL people) showed up en masse.

Our conference was held at St. John's College (I am still a bit confused, but all of the 'colleges'...I guess the easiest is to say it's like Harry Potter and the different 'houses', but all the houses together are Hogwarts, i.e. Cambridge :)

This is St. John's college's chapel...




During a break we got a tour of St. John's college's library...













Outside in the 'green'/grassy area of St. John's college near the main entrance...







St. John's College entrance from inside...









The entrance to 'The William Wordsworth' room, where we had our conference, is on the bottom right.
William Wordsworth got his first degree from St. John's college....




In the room there were these quotes all over in the windows (from William Wordsworth I'm assuming) ...the LDS in me loved this one! :)












Tschuss St. John's and thanks! I'll have to come back to give Cambridge a proper visit...
