 Department of Geography : 50 year retrospective - Durham University
Fifty years ago, when I arrived as a young Geography lecturer in the Durham Colleges in the University of Durham, the county, the city, the university, the colleges and all the departments were very different from those of today.
The Durham Colleges were one division of the federal University of Durham, which also comprised the much larger Kings College in Newcastle and two smaller affiliated colleges overseas: Fourah Bay College in Sierra Leone (where in the early 1960s I spent two happy years as a professor on secondment) and Codrington College in Barbados.
The largest colleges, University and Hatfield, had only 259 and 217 students respectively, and colleges and societies were closer knit and all single sex, with evening exeats being given to encourage segregation of the sexes.

Not every theological college rejoices in its own lake and its own swimming pool, standing in the midst of its own plantations; and it is by no means flippant to claim that Codrington College must rival, equal, or excel her theological sisters elsewhere - in beauty as well as in age!
Physical beauty and mere antiquity, however, are not enough to make a college great; and I hope to show that this small institution, in the heart of the country in a small Caribbean island, is something more than an attraction to sightseers and photographers.
A fit monument to his academical inclinations is the fine Codrington library in All Souls; and in the chapel of that college his body is buried, where it was translated from St. Michael's, Barbados, in 1716.
