One of Trinity’s longest traditions is the annual signing of the Admissions Book. Today, 266 new students will inscribe their names in College history by signing the book themselves. ✍🏾 The images show poet Lord Alfred Tennyson’s entry from 1827, along with personal details written in his own hand.
Moving into College today? The Library team will be welcoming students in the Chapel until 3pm. If you missed us, pop into the Library anytime and we can answer your questions. We look forward to welcoming you! 📚 More information for students can be found here: www.trin.cam.ac.uk/library/students/
