Selwyn is welcoming back students for the Easter term with its trees in blossom in a wonderful display across the College gardens. Our cover photograph shows the Prunus TaiHaku Cherry Trees outside Ann’s Court along the walk towards West Road, and the trees are at their best too outside the main entrance in Grange Road.

    Sweden’s foreign minister Tobias Billström gave a talk at Selwyn on April 16th about why his country has joined NATO. 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.
