St Cross College, Oxford

St Cross College is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in England. It is an all-graduate college, sharing attractive, traditional-style buildings on a central site in St Giles', just south of Pusey Street. It aims to match the structure, life and support of undergraduate colleges, with the relaxed atmosphere of an all-graduate college. On 18 November 2010, it was announced that Sir Mark Ellis Powell Jones, previously Director of the Victoria and Albert Museum had been elected as the next Master of the College; he took up the post in September 2011. St Cross was... formally set up by the University in 1965; it was to admit its first graduate students in the following year. The establishment of the college, together with that of Iffley College, arose out of pressure on the University, during the early 1960s, to solve the related problems of senior members of the University and of the increasing numbers of graduate students, who needed a college affiliation. The early location of St Cross was on a site in St Cross Road, immediately south of St Cross Church.
