	Norrington Table - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Norrington Table is an annual ranking that lists the colleges of the University of Oxford in order of the performance of their undergraduate students on that year's final examinations.
		The Norrington Table is calculated by awarding 5 points for a student who receives a 1st Class, 3 points for a 2.1, 2 for a 2.2 and 1 for a 3rd, divided by (5 multiplied by the number of students per college), and expressed as a percentage per college.
		Finally, the table is biased towards colleges which have larger than average numbers of students in subjects such as Chemistry and Mathematics where a higher proportion attain a 1st Class degree compared to arts degrees (where the vast majority attain a 2.1).

		As the table only takes into account the examination results for the year it is published in, college rankings may fluctuate considerably.
		Although the university says that the college listings are "not very significant", the 2005 table is the first Norrington Table with official data, and also likely to be the first to be truly correct.
		Dame Fiona Caldicott, the Chairman of the Conference of Colleges, has said that in previous years some students have used the Data Protection Act to ensure their results were not published, rendering the unofficial tables inaccurate.

		Norrington was sitting quite languidly in a plush chair before his office window, watching the Black Pearl turn into a mere dot on the horizon.
		Norrington took small sips, swirling the fiery liquid over his tongue before swallowing and letting its warmth settle pleasantly in his stomach.
		He leaned over Gillette, placing the glass on the table before turning back to the man, who was nervously licking the alcohol from his lips.

	Full Moon
		Norrington strode half the perimeter of the main deck, speaking quietly to this white-faced sailor or that stiff-shouldered serviceman, doing what he could to shore up their veneer of confidence while he watched their ambushers glide menacingly into place.
		Norrington spent much of the day in the marginally cooler interior of Sparrow's cabin, the double doors propped wide to welcome the breeze, indulging his curiosity about the reading to be had and especially that intriguing little sketchbook.
		Norrington tried to answer, but then Jack was on him, stealing his words with the merciless vortex of lips and cheeks and tongue and careful teeth, and the commodore could hear his own gasps and groans and what strained cries he couldn't keep between his teeth echoing over the water.

		His beard and mustache -- thicker, less carefully shaped -- reminded Norrington of quiet times in the mornings before a day's travels had begun, when they'd tended to their respective grooming and he'd come to understand that Jack's uncivilized appearance took effort to maintain, was even a source of pride.
		Norrington's body was too tired to show its agreement just yet, but it occurred to him in an absent way that they might enjoy a little more pleasurable distraction later, if sleep didn't win out first.
		Norrington rolled immediately to reach his feet, hands fumbling with all the speed he could will into them as Jay scrambled to stand, dropping the book, grabbing the sword and yanking it from its sheath.

		Hard, hot hands parted his knees beneath the wooden table, at which Norrington clenched his teeth and found his fingers turning white-knuckled around the tankard he was gripping before him on the table.
		Norrington felt lightheaded as the pirate's wicked, wicked tongue danced along the glans, roving upwards greedily to poke with a daring tongue-tip at the tiny slit there and catching liquid drops.
		Norrington's bones felt like they'd turned to water, in the glowing aftermath of his pleasure, but he raised the tankard and took a healthy swallow of ale.

	Norrington Table scrapped 12/11/04
		Oxford University plans to reveal the academic performance of students graduating from each of its 30 colleges in an official annual table after The Times Higher reported concerns that the unofficial Norrington Table rankings have been blighted by allegations of dirty tricks and inaccuracy.
		The table, conceived in 1962 by Sir Arthur Norrington, then president of Trinity College, ranks colleges according to the proportion of students with the best degrees.
		It showed that the Norrington Table omitted results of 200 students - using 2,793 instead of the official 3,103 graduates.

	The Telegraph - Calcutta : At Leisure
		London, Sept. 7: Oxford entered the league table age by publishing the first official ranking of its 30 undergraduate colleges in 800 years.
		The ranking is based on a system of allocating five points for a first, three for an upper second, two for a lower second and one for a third that was famously dreamt up in his bath by the late Arthur Norrington when he was president of Trinity.
		Explaining Oxford’s decision to publish the “pernicious” table, Fiona Caldicott, chairman of the Conference of Colleges, said the university recognised there was “an appetite for information” and wanted to be “open and transparent”.

		Norrington was obliged to admit that the prospect of a holiday was tempting.

		Norrington soon lost the thread of the tale, preferring instead to study Jack in the firelight as the varied emotions of the story swept across his expressive face and body in a sort of dance.

	Norrington Blues
		Long before the Norrington table was first published, when I was an Assistant Tutor in a Cambridge college, I used to see the table which the Tutor drew up each year to show how our college was faring in tripos in comparison with other colleges.
		The Norrington table is bad, obviously, for the colleges which come near the bottom.
		The Norrington table is dangerous to Oxford because it encourages tendencies, which are in any case already present in the undergraduate mind, to over-emphasize one aspect of Oxford life, and to.

		His hatred for Norrington was hammered into every link of the shackles and irons he worked, hoping with a perverse desire to see him shackled and behind bars without the leverage to save him from the bonds he deserved to wear.
		Norrington raised his hands in a forced air of nonchalance, but his eyes and a twitch of his mouth betrayed his nervousness, and he walked out the door.
		Norrington's palm had made firm contact with the side of Will's face and Will was not one to stand by after having been insulted in such a manner.

		The table is unofficial and not supported by the University in any way, they do not publish a breakdown of college-by-college results.
		The University maintains that the table is "unhelpful" and with less than one percentage point seperating the top four colleges many are left wondering how useful a guide the table is. The Warden of New College, Alan Ryan, however was quick to attribue this to an increased proffesional ethos throughout the whole university.

		Norrington wouldn't have agreed that the man was intrinsically laughable, but figured the hour too late to bother explaining his mind's wanderings to a half-conscious pirate.
		Norrington's stomach kept knotting, turning, twisting as the evening wore on, as more rummy courage poured down his throat (failing, somehow, to inspire any actual courage), as Jack's predatory gazes started dominating his thoughts until precious little else could reach the forefront of his mind.
		Norrington reached behind his head to untie the bandana, careful of hair as he pulled the binding away and dropped it.

		Some colleges, keen to maintain their position in the Norrington table - Oxford's unofficial ranking of colleges by degree results - have been offering in-college tutorials as an alternative to the university-wide group sessions, and sometimes in addition to them.
		The result is that one student's course is another's revision session and, inevitably, it is the wealthier colleges that can afford to offer their students the deluxe service.
		Even now, college wealth correlates strongly with academic performance: the six richest colleges are all among the seven highest in the Norrington table.

		The college with the biggest slump was Balliol, which dropped from second last year to 17th in the league, which has been devised annually by Oxford students since the Norrington Table was abandoned in l992.
		The table published today is based on the student's survey published last week in The Times, but amendments have been made to the results and placements by The Telegraph, which asked the 30 colleges to confirm the figures.
