| University College (known as "Univ") is one of the oldest of the colleges which make up Oxford University, having been founded in 1249 by William of Durham. For its first 300 years the college was only open to fellows studying theology, and it was not until 1979 that Univ began accepting female students. The college is one of the largest in Oxford in terms of student population. |

| The College has the longest grace of any Oxford College. It is read before every Formal Hall, which takes place every night except Saturday. The reading is performed - in Latin - by a Scholar of the College, the same person doing it for a whole week, accompanied by whoever is sitting at the head of High Table . |
