Well it was the 70s and students did have a reputation to uphold!
After Saturday night there was always Sunday morning! Lovely memory shots and lovely focus on the subject but just showing your developing interest in photography in the background!
I got married in 1975!

I think a lot more fun was had in the 1970's than there will be in the 2070's, John.
Whatever the case, we wont be there to photograph it...

Indeed. I want to see more of the shots on the wall - the handstanding girlfriend? Proud parents at matriculation? Cool friends?
Lots of stories... And of course, unmistakable slide dust, impossible to remove. At least you weren't tempted to use glass mounts - what a disaster they were.

Memories! I'm trying to justify buying film scanner to resurrect some of my early stuff.

I used glass mounts quite a lot, no problems except hen my wife left one loose in her handbag for some days with the inevitable result.

I use to look like that in the 70s. Long black hair, white teeth, beard the only thing missing for me was money. Now my hair is white and my teeth are black.
Memories of visiting Bill at Grey (he was in Oswald).
He ran Freshers' Week in 1969. I went up to help, I remember freshers arriving in suits and ties, with their parents in tow, in tears because they had lost the keys to their trunks. I was at Warwick, where things were a wee bit different...
Looks as though this guy grew up quite quickly...

Ah yes. Livesey's Economics ....... never heard of it. 🥴🥴🥴 James Joyce's Ulysses was the bane of my callow student life at one point; also a thick book and one that I dismissed as thick because I was too thick to understand it. I finally read the whole thing a year ago. Still too thick. 🥴 Never mind - hurrah for Molesworth! After this week I'm wondering if I ought to apply myself diligently to reading The Complete Works of Peppa Pig.
Thanks for pushing the old nostalgia button and a joy to be reminded that we were once young. 😀

Sideburns, Roy...
Fred tended to arrive back from a night out white and sweaty... A bit of the Tom Cruise look before Tom Cruise, looking at him now. And with added moodiness. He hailed from Oxford - his parents lived on Abingdon Road, as I recall.
He worked hard at concealing considerable intelligence and ability to work hard...

I was a 26 year old then, Recently had bought my Olympus OM1n and f1.8 50mm for a trip to the USA and Niagara Falls. Flew the Falls in a Bell Bubble Helicopter and shot two complete rolls of film. Great memory.

Still have the camera, but now a F1.2 55mm lens

Well, he reminds me of the late songwriter Nick Drake somehow...
The castle shot is awesome!!!!
Not bad portraits to be fair. If those in them could see them now, they'd say: "Fab". Everyone looks fab younger
