	Brasenose College, Oxford - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Brasenose College, originally Brazen Nose College (in full: The King's Hall and College of Brasenose), is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom.
		The name "Brasenose" is thought to originate from a brazen (bronze) door knocker in the shape of a nose; the nose-shaped door knocker which hangs above the high table of the main hall of Brasenose College is thought to be the original door knocker belonging to Brasenose Hall.
		Brasenose College Boat Club (BNCBC) is popularly held to be the oldest boat club in the world; this is impossible to verify but BNCBC is certainly the oldest collegiate boat club and took part in the first ever head race, beating Jesus College Boat Club on that occasion.

	Leander Club - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Leander Club is based in Henley-on-Thames, and is one of the oldest rowing clubs in the world, with only two Oxford College Boat Clubs being founded before, Brasenose College Boat Club and Jesus College Boat Club (Oxford) (the two competing in a Head race in 1815).
		Founded in 1818 in London, the club moved to Henley on the River Thames in the late nineteenth century.
		For the first 179 years of its existence, it was a men-only club, but in 1998 opened its doors to women members, partly prompted by financial considerations, as the UK's Sports Council rules required organizations receiving funding to have an open membership policy.

		The boat shall be the property of the College.
		The Treasurer's book relates that he "rowed Exeter from bottom to top of the river and kept her there, without ever having submitted to a bump in his boating career." From this we may gather that there were nine colleges with boats on at the time.

	Leo Blockley Memorial Campaign - List of Supporters
		As one member of a small boat club there is not a lot I can do where it comes to buying boats, but you can be sure I have been vocal about this to those who matter, and you have my full support with your campaign.
		New boats should have build-in buoyancy such that the craft remains rowable for as long as posible in the event of a swamping.
		Boat builders should take the lead and there is nothing worse in rough conditions, when some water has been shipped, to have it sloshing around as you attempt to get back to the clubhouse or bank.

	The Childe of Hale
		It is recorded that the Childe and his master visited Brasenose College, Oxford (Ireland was himself a graduate and senior member of the college 4), where Middleton had his portrait painted.
		The fact that there are only three portraits of Middleton in existence, and that two remain at the college, shows not only that he was there, but also that he was enough of a celebrity to warrant such attention.
		In fact, Brasenose rowing club’s first eight still wear the “Childe of Hale colours” of purple, yellow and red in honour of their visitor.

		Oxford is a collegiate university, consisting of the University's central facilities, such as departments and faculties, libraries and science facilities, and 39 colleges and 7 permanent private halls (PPHs).
		Admissions for undergraduates is undertaken by individual colleges, working with each other to ensure that the best students gain a place at the University regardless of whether or not they are accepted by their preferred choice.
		There are also a number of independent "colleges" which have nothing to do with either university but are popular, particularly with overseas students, perhaps because they allow their students to state truthfully that they have studied at Oxford; these institutions vary considerably in the standard of teaching they provide.

		It turned out that Brasenose had extracted themselves from the bank and gone on to bump a very incompetent Univ boat that had fallen from the 1st Division.
		It was agreed at the race desk between Brasenose Cox, Corny and OURCs Official that though the Exeter bump on Brasenose would be disallowed, we would be allowed the bump on Univ, since as Brasenose had stopped rowing and still got them, we would have got them too.
