Oxford University Cultural Tradition:
School motto:
Motto: Master of Light (Latin)
It means "the Lord is my light", from psalm 27 of the Bible.
"I think there are two points at the core of university spirit. The first is the pursuit of Excellence in everything, and the second is free and open debate"-Andrew Hamilton, President of Oxford University, UK.
Hamilton said that the university spirit embodied in Oxford University is, first of all, an absolute pursuit of Excellence. No matter in teaching or scientific research, it will never be satisfied with the status quo and continue to pursue better.
Activities:
Oxford University students celebrated the end of the final exam in their unique way-friends "attacked" students with champagne in their hands with foam and hand-painted ribbons. For the students in the graduation season of Oxford University, walking out of the examination room means the beginning of the annual final carnival.
At Oxford University, there is a traditional activity called "throwing garbage". As soon as the students of Oxford University walked out of the examination room, friends who had been waiting outside "attacked" them with flour and ribbons in their hands. The offensive was so fierce that the champagne for the celebration was completely inedible.
But there is also a tradition among students in Oxford University, that is, according to the regulations, they should wear black robes for the final exam, white carnations for the first exam, red carnations for the last exam and pink carnations for the middle exam.
