context_page_description: This is a list of people associated with Durham University, divided for user convenience into multiple subcategories. This includes alumni, those who have taught there, conducted research there or played a part in its founding. Durham is a collegiate university, so where known and if applicable, they are shown alongside their associated college. For reasons of brevity, alumni of University College, St Cuthbert's Society and Trevelyan College are written with the shorter, more informal names of Castle, Cuths and Trevs respectively.
  Note that college membership was not always compulsory. From Epiphany term of 1871 the university, as a way of lowering the cost of studying at Durham, began to admit students without the need to join a college or hall – an innovation that may have been influenced by Oxford's decision to admit non-collegiate students in 1868. This change proved popular, and between 1870/71 and 1890/91 the 'Unattached Members' were 28% of entrants. Some students who read for higher degrees, like the geologist Gillian Foulger, did not join a college either. Alumni who did not take up membership of a college or society are therefore listed as Unattached.
