I wish I could find me one of those.

Cool! How wonderful to list a fictional character as an alumnus - but how appropriate.

Yep, knew who it was going to be!

That's great - thanks.

It takes a special sort of mind-set to do this sort of thing, and I thoroughly approve.

I like that. It looks both sharp and silly - which isn't easy, especially when there's this tendency among some of his fans to portray Wimsey as a Serious and Angsty Figure.

Hee!

Oxford is a crazy, crazy place. And I mean this in the nicest possible way.

Yay! I've seen the portrait before, but I'd forgotten it was on the Balliol website.

My own Balliol man pointed this one out to me too. It certainly made me a little enamoured of their Balliolity. I can only hope they archive Sir Humphrey amongst their alumni too.
