The first photo below is from October 19, 2013 and is of Sam just as he was to leave for the "matriculation" ceremony for his college, Lady Margaret Hall (a "selfie" on his ipad).
Matriculation is the ceremony that marks formal admission to the University as a student and is officiated by the Vice-President of the University, among others. He was required to wear the appropriate gown for his college and a mortar board or soft-cap. He looks so happy!
Then, on November 27, 2013, Sam rowed with the LMH team in the Christ Church Regatta, which is an annual rowing tournament in Oxford on the Isis for novice rowers from the various colleges at Oxford University. Sam said they won their first race, several lengths ahead of their nearest competitor - lot's of fun. Here are some pictures he sent the family:
Thanks for sending these Sam!
