I wasn`t allowed by my school to try for Oxbridge as I was doing 4 A levels back in 1977.

The hire of the chamber was paid for by St. Cuthbert's Traditional Catholic Trust not the SSPX.<BR/><BR/>Dr. Glover's celebrations were superb and certainly left a lasting impression on me. When the SSPX adopted the 1962 liturgical books in 1983 Dr. Glover carried on in the best tradition and retained the Old Rite.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35539648.post-9772811784666363992008-11-26T11:00:00.000+00:002008-11-26T11:00:00.000+00:00Augustine, it's true!I was at Durham between 98-04...Augustine, it's true!<BR/><BR/>I was at Durham between 98-04 and there were irregular SSPX Masses held in the debating chamber on Palace Green which we were strongly discouraged from attending. The university's RC chaplain (who is now at the cathedral) started a termly Novus Ordo Latin Mass from around 2002. I don't know whether the new chaplain continued with this.roydosanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16938047251308288033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35539648.post-80845998836350821702008-11-25T22:02:00.000+00:002008-11-25T22:02:00.000+00:00"Durham University is a place where many people wh..."Durham University is a place where many people who failed to get a place at Oxford or Cambridge often study."<BR/><BR/>...ouch!Augustinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02874922973165634505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35539648.post-61645964686598894032008-11-25T20:05:00.000+00:002008-11-25T20:05:00.000+00:00I was a Catholic Music undergraduate at Durham fro...I was a Catholic Music undergraduate at Durham from 1989-92 and remember the Schola Cantorum, a Choir run by the then Reader in Music Dr Jerome Roche, singing for an SSPX Mass, in Durham, which I did not attend.<BR/><BR/>Several more of the Colleges have invested heavily in their chapel choirs recently and there are now twice as many Music undergraduates as there were 20 years ago, so maybe the time is ripe for another musical renaissance.leutgebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15566408268292424147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35539648.post-67344291338492877962008-11-25T19:52:00.000+00:002008-11-25T19:52:00.000+00:00I'd love to have been able to get there, but other...I'd love to have been able to get there, but other commitments mean it's not possible.
