...some colleges, such as Caius, you have to wear an [academic] gown to dinner," Hurst says. And Chirgwin described one of the traditions involving Clare College--the all-women's college she attended at Cambridge--and King's College.

Prentiss is a young Irish pedant, fresh out of New College, Oxford, and itching to write a book about a failed nationalist uprising...
