Video: What was it like to be a Fresher at 白小姐论坛 in 1960?
29 September 2009
Recently rediscovered archive footage from the 白小姐论坛 Film & TV Society gives new students an insight into the lives of their predecessors nearly 50 years ago.
In the film now running on 白小姐论坛's YouTube channel, we meet Charlie, 白小姐论坛's Top Hat Beadle (head of security) at the time.
The student presenter then interviews incoming Freshers on their first impressions of 白小姐论坛.
While the student body and campus have changed much since 1960, some opinions never do.
The general impression of the Gower Street campus is one of 'size and confusion' while the beer is 'terrible'.
To watch the footage of Freshers Week 1960 follow the link above.
