Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.171.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests.

'''University College''', informally known as '''Castle''', is the oldest [[Colleges of the University of Durham|constituent college]] of the [[Durham University|University of Durham]] in [[England]]. Centred on [[Durham Castle]] on [[Palace Green]], it was founded in 1832 by [[William van Mildert]], [[Bishop of Durham]].

University College moved into its current location in 1837. Around 150&nbsp;students are accommodated within Durham Castle. Other college buildings, including converted 18th century houses and purpose-built accommodation from the 1950s, 1970s and 1980s, are within five minutes' walk of the castle.

==History==

===Early years===
University College was formed upon the creation of University of Durham in 1832. It was the first college of the university, and is therefore known as the "foundation college", but the university was founded explicitly on the [[Oxbridge]] model; the intention was already for the university to develop along collegiate lines in the manner of [[Oxford University|Oxford]] and [[Cambridge University|Cambridge]], as it has.<ref name="University History">

Previously, for centuries, [[Durham Castle]] had been the [[bishop]]'s [[palace]] for the [[Bishop of Durham]] until the residence was moved to [[Auckland Castle]] in 1832.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.britainexpress.com/counties/durham/az/durham/castle.htm|title=Durham Castle|publisher=Britain Express|access-date=29 October 2019))</ref> Bishop [[William van Mildert]], one of the founders of the university, had intended for the castle to be given to the college. Temporary accommodation for students was provided at the Archdeacon's Inn (now known as Cosin's Hall) on Palace Green until University College moved into its permanent home<ref name="University History"/> in 1837 after van Mildert's successor, [[Edward Maltby]], completed renovations of the Castle.<ref name="Castle History">

</ref>

The castle's [[keep]], formerly a ruin, was redeveloped for student accommodation; in particular, the college's chapels and [[Great Hall]] have been restored. Since then high levels of maintenance have been, and still are, necessary to preserve the buildings of the castle.[[File:Great Hall, University College, Durham.jpg|thumb|The Great Hall of University College in the late 19th century|left]]The university's second college, [[Hatfield College|Hatfield Hall]], was formed in 1846 as a response to the high costs of maintaining Castle. These costs arose from the students' expectations of being provided with servants and room furnishings.<ref>((cite web|last=Hatfield College |author-link=Hatfield College |title=History of the College |publisher=Durham University |date=23 January 2006 |url=http://www.dur.ac.uk/hatfield.college/contact_us/about_the_college/history/ |access-date=7 August 2006 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060603103410/http://www.dur.ac.uk/hatfield.college/contact_us/about_the_college/history/ |archive-date=3 June 2006 ))

By 1882, Castle contained some 79 undergraduates out of 205 at the university as a whole. Despite the university largely failing to gain recognition and prestige, a number of other colleges had opened by the end of the nineteenth century. Of these, [[Bishop Cosin's Hall]] failed to become financially viable and was absorbed into University College in 1864.<ref name="Whiting"/> Enrolment numbers continued to fluctuate.

===1919–38===
The [[Interwar period|inter-war years]] were transformative for Castle. The college was the smallest in Durham university, with just 34 undergraduates in 1928,<ref name="Jones">

and was struggling to meet maintenance costs. The Castle, situated on the banks of "[[The Bailey|The Peninsula]]", was in danger of collapsing into the [[River Wear]] and many of its internal structures were weak.

===Post-war===
One of its most successful periods followed during the [[Second World War]] when personnel of the [[Northumbrian Universities Air Squadron|Durham University Air Squadron]] were posted in the castle, doing short courses before joining the [[Royal Air Force]].<ref name="Castle History"/> Those from the college who died during World War II were commemorated by the redevelopment of the Norman Gallery area of the Castle in the 1950s.

This section of the college developed a spirit of its own and is still remembered today through activities such as the Lumley Run.[[File:Tunstall Chapel.jpg|thumb|The Tunstall Chapel|left]]

=== College arms ===
Although it had been in use before this period, the college [[Coat of arms|arms]] were officially granted by the [[College of Arms]] on 29 May 1912, on the occasion of the eightieth anniversary since the founding of the college by the Bishop of Durham in 1832. The arms are blazoned: ''Azure, a Cross patonce or, between four Lions rampant Argent, on a Chief of the last, the Cross of St Cuthbert Sable, between two Durham Mitres Gules.''<ref name=":1" /> The blue field with the gold cross and four lions are the arms of the [[Diocese of Durham]], the [[mitre]]s represent the Bishop and St. Cuthbert's cross is included as [[Durham Cathedral]] is dedicated to, and is the resting place of [[Cuthbert|St. Cuthbert]].<ref name=":1">((Cite book|last=Fox-Davies|first=Arthur Charles|url=http://worldcat.org/oclc/33316096|title=The book of public arms : a complete encyclopaedia of all royal, territorial, municipal, corporate, official, and impersonal arms|publisher=T.C. & E.C. Jack|year=1915|pages=814|oclc=33316096))</ref> Underneath is the motto, in [[Latin]], ''"Non nobis solum"'', meaning "Not for ourselves alone".

===Lowe Library===
The Lowe Library is the college's library. It was formed from a bequest from Colonel W.D.Lowe, an officer of the Durham University Officers' Training Corps. He later became a Classics tutor at the university and rowing coach for University College,<ref>((cite book |title=A History of Durham Rowing|editor1-first=Captain A.A.|editor1-last=Macfarlane-Grieve|year=1922|publisher=Andrew Ried and Company, Limited|location=Newcastle-upon-Tyne))</ref> staying until his death in 1921.<ref name="Jones" /> The library was opened in 1925, extended into the college's wine cellar in 1997,<ref>

The college is run by a "Master", the most senior position in the [[Common Room (university)|SCR]]. As the first master of University College, Archdeacon [[Charles Thorp]], also held the post of university warden. Following Thorp's death in 1862 the mastership was created as a separate position.<ref name="Jones" /> All past Masters have their portrait hanging in the Great Hall or SCR ante-room.<ref>((Cite web|last=Durham Castle Society|date=2019|title=Durham Castle Society - Masters|url=https://www.castlealumni.uk/history/masters|access-date=2020-09-04|website=www.castlealumni.uk))</ref>

==Role and activities==

University College is the most over-subscribed college at the university; for entry in 2006, there were 2,858 applications for just 170&nbsp;places (approximately 17&nbsp;applicants for every place).<ref name="Sarah H"/> As with all [[Durham University#Colleges|colleges at Durham]], students study for degrees with [[Durham University]], not their college, and teaching takes place in academic departments. University College is a "listed body" under the Education Reform Act (1988).<ref>((cite web|last=Department for Education and Skills |author-link=Department for Education and Skills (United Kingdom) |title=A-Z of Colleges, halls and institutions of a University, University of Durham |year=2005 |url=http://www.dfes.gov.uk/recognisedukdegrees/index.cfm?fuseaction=institutes.list&InstituteCategoryID=2&InstituteSubCategoryID=6&AssociatedInstituteID=32 |access-date=9 November 2006 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061209140726/http://www.dfes.gov.uk/recognisedukdegrees/index.cfm?fuseaction=institutes.list&InstituteCategoryID=2&InstituteSubCategoryID=6&AssociatedInstituteID=32 |archive-date=9 December 2006 ))
</ref>

Although colleges are largely concerned with welfare, leisure and accommodation, University College has been running the 'Durham Castle Lecture Series' since 2012.<ref name="Lecture series">((cite web|title=Durham Castle Lecture Series|url=https://www.dur.ac.uk/university.college/events/durhamcastlelectures/|publisher=Durham University|access-date=25 October 2013))</ref> Past speakers have included [[Saskia Sassen]], [[Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak]], [[Rowan Williams]], [[Anthony Giddens]], [[Justin Welby]], [[Martin Wolf]], [[Noam Chomsky]] and [[Peter Singer]].<ref name="Lecture series" />

Within Durham's colleges, there is a strong competitive rivalry. Castle's main rival is [[Hatfield College]], which is Durham's second oldest college, having separated from Castle in the 1850s. The rivalry is maintained by student pranks and tricks and in various intercollegiate sporting events.

The college has a commercial arm, taking advantage of the attractive nature of the college's buildings. It hosts corporate events, conferences and weddings during the university vacations.<ref>

</ref>

The Castle is open to tourists only via guided tours. These occur daily outside of term time, but are more restricted during the term due to potential conflicts with the running of the college. Furthermore, events in the university timetable may result in their cancellation. Tourists are not otherwise permitted entry to the college or any common areas.<ref>

</ref> There is relatively little conflict between students and tourists, with many of the guided tours done by students themselves.

=== Formals ===
Students are expected to wear smart clothes and gowns during Formals, which take place twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the Great Hall. All those attending the formal must stand when the High Table enters, when grace is being said or sung, and when the Senior Student is bowing out. Complete silence is observed during these periods. Following grace, there is no standing throughout the formal until the Senior Student has bowed out to the Master, a symbol of the official opening or closing of the formal meal.<ref>((Cite book|last=University College, Durham|title=UNIVERSITY COLLEGE DURHAM -- INFORMATION AND GUIDELINES 2018-2019|year=2018|url=https://www.dur.ac.uk/resources/university.college/college/CollegeInfo2018-19.pdf|pages=13))</ref>

==Student body==
[[File:June Ball.jpg|thumb|June Ball Fireworks, 19 June 2012|left]]

Some 700 undergraduates attend Castle, making it slightly smaller than the average Durham college. Of these students, around 100 live in the castle itself, while another 250 are housed in the college's surrounding buildings.<ref>((cite web

))</ref>
It remains the most popular college in Durham for applications, with around 27&nbsp;students applying for every available place.<ref name="Durham University"/>

The undergraduate student body ([[Junior Common Room]] or JCR) is governed by an elected Executive Committee headed by the Senior Student and supported by several other officers. Regular JCR meetings are held to discuss and vote on important issues. There are several other elected non-executive officers such as Returning Officer, Fresher Rep and Sports Captain who organise other important college functions. The Senior Student meets regularly with college and university authorities to represent the JCR.

The JCR runs three balls every year for its students, with one held during each term. The largest is the end of year June Ball, which is the social highlight of the academic year. Tradition dictates that its theme remains closely hidden until the doors to the Castle open.<ref name="JB">

The graduate community at Castle forms the Middle Common Room (MCR), which is based in the [[Maurice Tucker]]<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.dur.ac.uk/castle.mcr/tucker.html |title=University College MCR |website=www.dur.ac.uk |access-date=17 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110628060856/http://www.dur.ac.uk/castle.mcr/tucker.html |archive-date=28 June 2011 |url-status=dead))</ref> (previously [[William de St-Calais]]<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.dur.ac.uk/castle.mcr/calais.html |title=University College MCR |website=www.dur.ac.uk |access-date=17 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110326165425/http://www.dur.ac.uk/castle.mcr/calais.html |archive-date=26 March 2011 |url-status=dead))</ref>) Room.

</ref> The MCR, like the JCR, organises a number of social events and activities, such as the college's entry into the inter-collegiate [[University Challenge]] competition, which acts as trials for the university's team. The Senior Common Room (SCR), is an organisation of academics and tutors connected to the college. The SCR also organises formal meals with guest speakers.

The student bar of University College is called the Undercroft Bar (known colloquially as The Undie), due to its location in an 11th-century [[Undercroft]]. It developed from the original Junior Common Room, which opened in the early 1950s. It is currently run by the Food and Beverage Services Manager with the help of several JCR members. In 2018 a new college café replaced the Toastie Bar in the West Courtyard. 
[[File:UCBC2008.jpg|thumb|The college boat club [[University College Boat Club (Durham)|UCBC]] is a popular student society and has previously qualified to race at [[Henley Royal Regatta]].]]

===Societies===
University College JCR also supports many societies run exclusively for Castle students. The most popular societies include [[University College Boat Club (Durham)|University College Boat Club]] (UCBC), Castle Theatre Company, Mixed Lacrosse, Castle Rugby Club, Castle Football Club, and Castle Hockey Club.

There are a number of arts societies within the college. Most notable is Castle Theatre Company, which produces a play each term. These plays are usually performed on the college's grounds, although they sometimes tour nationally.<ref>

==Castle Society==
The Castle Society was formed in 1947 by Castle Alumni. It was originally named the Durham Castleman's Society. Membership is open to anyone with academic ties to the college, and its aim is to create a wider Castle community beyond its immediate students. The society makes regular donations to the college library, chapel, student bursaries, and various college societies. It has helped fund a number of projects in the college, including the accommodation at Moatside Court and Fellows Garden, as well as the West Courtyard Common Room. The Castle Society produces the annual journal "Castellum", which chronicles life at the Castle and reports on activities of Castle alumni.<ref>

</ref> Since 1990, it has contributed towards the University College Durham Trust, the college's charitable fund.

==Notable alumni==
((Main article|List of alumni of University College, Durham))

Castle alumni are active through organisations and events such as the two annual reunion dinners, which cater for the more than 7,000 living alumni.<ref name="Durham Diff Alumni">((cite web|url=http://www.dur.ac.uk/resources/DARO/TheDurhamDifference.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110629183326/http://www.dur.ac.uk/resources/DARO/TheDurhamDifference.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-date=2011-06-29 |title=The Durham Difference |publisher=Durham University |access-date=2009-04-03 ))</ref>
