Mini,
He is at Wash U and I’m pretty sure it is an ancillary program called OPUS. There is also one for Keebler College. I thought you went to Williams. Did you transfer to Oxford or were you a Rhodes scholar? Thanks again, you all make it sound so exciting!"

I had the equivalent of a Rhodes Scholarship, but specifically tied between Williams and Worcester.

Do you mean “Keble College”? If so, that’s terrific. It is wonderfully located, two blocks from the center of Oxford, across from the paleontology institute and museum. It was built in the 19th Century by Butterfield, as a religious reformers’ place, in extremely decorative red brick, with the longest “hall” (dining room) at Oxford, with a magnificent chapel, and the finest English religious painting (Holman Hunt’s “Light of the World”) of the 19th Century hidden away in its side.
