21st December - 27th December: Student Riots and Mass Migration

The Apocalypse caused, as in many places, mass rioting and looting as people, scared and disorientated, attempted to cope. The large body of students in Oxford caused particular problems. Oxford Town Hall and St. Aldergates Chambers were burnt down by a mob of protestors on the 23rd (with the loss of life of many council members) due to the Councils seeming inability to do anything.

25th December - Conference of Universities

On Christmas Day, desperate to halt the chaos, staff and leaders from the Universities along with surviving members of the Council convened at Somerville Collage to disscus the problem.

People present at the Conference

  • Dr Alice Prochaska, MA, DPhil, FRHistS, Principal of Somerville Collage.
  • Professor David Clary FRS, President of Magdalen Collage.
