Oriel Commemoration Ball

Every year, four or five of the colleges traditionally put on a white tie ball in 9th week of Trinity. These are very big events and generally an elaborate night to remember. This year, the MBA en masse decided that the Oriel Ball was the one to go to. Oriel College is a beautiful old college which was officially founded in 1326 by King Edward II. Of note, Oriel College was home to scholars such as John Keble, Sir Walter Raleigh, Cecil Rhodes and Samuel Wilberforce.

But, last night, it became transformed into Rome, New York and Delhi. Here is an insight into the night...

We started with dinner at Malmaison.

which used to be an old prison...
