Today in class, Dr. Helena Chance lectured on adorning buildings: Stained glass in Oxford. At mid-morning we broke for a tea break and then resumed lecture. We discussed chapels and libraries in Oxford and their treasures. Tomorrow we will take a trip to the Bodleian Library and Christ Church.
During free time this afternoon, several of us walked down Cornmarket St. to Cowley Rd. and experienced the multi-culture area of town. We visited St. Hilda's College and watched students punting on River Cherwell. The weather was cool but comfortable for a walk. We found Alice's Shop, which was drawn by Sir Jon Tenniel as 'the Old Sheep Shop' in Through the Looking Glass. Directly opposite is a fine view of Christ Church College and the cathedral rising beyond the War Memorial Gardens.
