点评:I went to St Antony's College as a master's student more than 12 years ago and I used my alumni card to visit Somerville College with a friend as the college is only available to alumni and Oxford card holders outside of term time. I was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful buildings in the college and the lovely green spaces.
Somerville was founded as one of Oxford's first two women's colleges and it has a number of distinguished alumni including the writer and pacifist Vera Brittain, the chemist Dorothy Hodgkin, the novelist Dorothy L. Sayers, and the Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. The college has a particularly strong connection with India and one of its most well known students is Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, who attended as a history student but did not graduate. Since its founding in 1879, it admitted only women until the 1990s when it became coeducational and started to admit men.
翻译:12 多年前,我以硕士生身份就读于圣安东尼学院,我和朋友一起用校友卡参观了萨默维尔学院,因为该学院只对校友和牛津卡持有者开放,非学期开放。学院美丽的建筑和美丽的绿地令我惊喜不已。
萨默维尔学院是牛津大学最早成立的两所女子学院之一,拥有许多杰出的校友,包括作家和和平主义者维拉·布里顿、化学家多萝西·霍奇金、小说家多萝西·L·塞耶斯和保守党首相玛格丽特·撒切尔。该学院与印度有着特别密切的联系,其最著名的学生之一是印度总理英迪拉·甘地,她曾以历史系学生身份就读该学院,但未毕业。自 1879 年成立以来,该学院只招收女生,直到 20 世纪 90 年代才改为男女同校并开始招收男生。
