Sometimes Oxford just wants to be rendered in black and white.
This is where we have our meals, “in Hall,”as they say here, banishing those uncouth articles as the English are so wont to do (in hospital, at university). Most nights dinner is informal, meaning we're served cafeteria style and seat ourselves, but twice a week we have high table dinner. We're expected to dress up, and we don't sit down until the administrators, tutors and guests eating at high table have come in, and grace (in Latin) has been read.
That's the high table on the right. Everyone gets an invitation to eat there once during the program; I'm scheduled for next week.
