The oldest continuously active Classics Society at the University of Oxford.
The St Anne’s College Classics Society is the oldest continuously active Classics Society in Oxford University. It is an essential part of our collective identity and brings members of the Classics School of all levels for a variety of events.
Our activities start each year with a Classics Quiz in which teams made up of all year groups compete in a test of learning, wit, and teamwork. Other events include guest lectures, often given by the distinguished Classicists from around who come to St Anne’s as Plumer Visiting Fellows, and a termly Research Symposium which we co-organise with our colleagues and friends at Brasenose College. Once a term, we also host a gathering in which tutors and students choose a work from any language and provide a creative translation into any language. Across the 6 years it has been running, Lockdown Translations Unlocked has heard translations from 24 different languages.
Highlights of our activities in past years include reading parties to Lamledra house in Cornwall and an archaeological visit to the Bay of Naples.
The Classics Society is run by a committee of tutors and students and is generously supported by funds from the Senior Tutor. What we do in future years will very much be led by what our students suggest and have the commitment to make work. The one thing of which you can be sure is that we will be active and happy.
