At 4.30pm, an riveting talk, entitled Cops and Constables: Policing in the US and the UK, was given by ex-Activities Director for the Oxford Tradition Adam Allen, who is currently serving as an NYPD officer. The talk included several exciting stories from Adam's personal journey in becoming an officer in the City Wide Task Force of the NYPD, as well as an insight into the differences of law enforcement in the US and the UK.
After a barbeque dinner on the college lawns, a talk was given by Dr. Chris Sangwin, Director of Admissions for Mathematics at the University of Birmingham. Dr. Sangwin's talk, titled How Round is Your Circle?, scraped the surface of his personal research on the geometry of shapes that prove to be extremely useful in modern engineering. A truly fascinating talk with mind-boggling problems and fun experiments!
Another group of OxTrad students went to Shakespeare's MacBeth, performed by the Oxford Theatre Guild at the beautiful gardens of Trinity College this evening. The performance proved to be as thrilling as last night.
Excitment amongst both students and teachers has been building throughout the day in anticipation of OxTrad's field trip to London, with various tours on offer and marvellous sights to see.
