Balliol College Dining Hall, Oxford University by David Iliff, source Wikimedia. Over centuries Balliol has evolved its own traditions and customs. One of them is the Snell Dinner which takes place on the third March Friday in memory of John Snell, whose benefaction established exhibitions for students from the University of Glasgow to study at Balliol.
Balliol has existed as a community of scholars on its present Broad Street site without interruption since about 1263. By this token it claims to be the oldest college in Oxford, and in the English-speaking world.
