context_page_description: Churchill College is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge, England. It has a primary focus on science, engineering and technology, but still retains a strong interest in the arts and humanities.
  In 1958, a trust was established with Sir Winston Churchill as its chairman of trustees, to build and endow a college for 60 fellows and 540 students as a national and Commonwealth memorial to Winston Churchill; its Royal Charter and Statutes were approved by the Queen, in August 1960. It is situated on the outskirts of Cambridge, away from the traditional centre of the city, but close to the University's main new development zone, which some would argue is the new city centre. Its 16 hectares of grounds make it physically the largest of all the colleges.
  Churchill was the first all-male college to decide to admit women, and was among three men's colleges to admit its first women students in 1972. Within 15 years all others had followed suit. The college has a reputation for relative informality compared with other Cambridge colleges, and traditionally admits a larger proportion of its undergraduates from state schools.
  The college motto is "Forward".
context_section_description: The college contains many examples of modern artwork including:
  Four-Square (Walk Through) (1966) – Dame Barbara Hepworth
  Prints of Marilyn Monroe – Andy Warhol
  Gemini (1973) – Denis Mitchell
  Diagram of an Object (Second state) (1990) – Dhruva Mistry
  Spiral – Michael Gillespie (1993)
  Flight – Peter Lanyon (1981)
  Black Bag – Graham Murdoch (1990)
  Past, Present, Future - Geoffrey Clarke (2010)
  There are also works by Sir Eduardo Paolozzi, Bridget Riley, Patrick Caulfield, Sir Peter Blake,  and Daphne Hardy Henrion.
  Hepworth's Four-Square (Walk Through) stands at the West Door, the west exit of the main college complex. In 1968, it replaced an earlier Hepworth sculpture, Squares with Two Circles (BH 347) which had been sold to a private collector. Two sculptures by Nigel Hall stand in front of the main gate of the college: The Now (1999) and Southern Shade I (2010). Mistry's Diagram of an Object (Second state) used to be found at the front of college, but is now located next to the chapel at the far end of the college. Sir Anthony Caro's Forum used to stand near the front gate of the college but it was removed in 2004 and replaced in 2007 by Lynn Chadwick's Beast Alerted 1.
