It’s a Selwyn tradition that we invite students to design the college Christmas card – and we’re delighted to share this year’s winning entry. It’s a painting of the chapel & one of our visiting foxes, and it's by Frances Dixon who is a fourth-year student of veterinary medicine.

Sir David had an association with Selwyn that lasted for more than half the college’s entire existence. He arrived here as an undergraduate in 1950. (1/3)
