...And inside is some wonderful college memorabilia including exercise books, school photographs, a copy of Johnson’s Dictionary, and a Littlefield (@MCol_LI) shirt! We thank the Boys family for their very kind donation.

A wonderful recent donation to the archive: a tuck-box used by three generations of the Boys family: CV Boys (C1 1869-72), Geoffrey Boys (LI 1907-11), and John Boys (LI 1948-52). On the lid you can see how the first initial has been changed over the years…
