The skeletal framework of St. Catherine’s College in Oxford, showing the 77-foot reinforced concrete cross-beams. – Vintage Photograph

On October 12, 1962, the skeleton of St. Catherine’s College in Oxford, England was visible, with the 77-foot reinforced concrete cross-beams already in place. The supporting columns were also visible within the enclosing brick wall, and soon the first 30 undergraduates would move in on Sunday. By half-term, the eastern residential block would have nearly 40 rooms ready, and the white-tiled kitchen in the same block would start serving meals in the temporary dining hut.On October 12, 1962, the skeleton of St. Catherine’s College in Oxford, England was visible, with the 77-foot reinforced concrete cross-beams already in place.
