Selwyn and University Challenge

5 January 2015
Submitted by seladmin on 5 January 2015


Selwyn are out of this year’s University Challenge after losing 235 points
to 100 against St Peter’s College, Oxford. It was a second round match, and Selwyn
were unable to capture the form that saw them knock out previous champions Manchester in
round one. There are now just two Cambridge Colleges left in the competition: Trinity and
Caius. Below is a picture of the Selwyn team on a happier occasion in the College gardens,
and we congratulate them on putting up a good fight on behalf of the College.

He warned that the world is going through a dangerous phase: not just the Russian attack on Ukraine, but also China’s intentions and the current crisis in the Middle East. These changing circumstances were why Sweden decided to relinquish the neutrality that it has held for more than two centuries.
