Old Wolves’ events – all lunches followed by a talk by one of our members – were<br />

held in November 2016, and February and May <strong>2017</strong>. We are most grateful to our<br />

speakers: Dr. Sebastian Brock (EF) spoke about the manuscripts of St Catherine’s<br />

Monastery; Professor Jim Kennedy (EF) about William Buckland, the ‘Father of<br />

Dinomania’; and Professor David Robey (EF) told us all we needed to know about<br />

Dante’s Divine Comedy.<br />

On Saturday 24 June, we participated in the alumni weekend by opening the Archives<br />

to interested visitors, including several of the <strong>College</strong>’s first students.<br />

Forthcoming events will be on Thursdays, with lunch at 12.30 in Hall followed by a<br />

talk at 1.30 in the Leonard Wolfson Auditorium. 2 November <strong>2017</strong>: Professor Jacob<br />
