Open Menu Search form The History of St Cross College The History of St Cross College St Cross College was founded in 1965. It is named after St Cross Road - the site of the Old School House and the ‘wooden hut' that formed the first buildings of the College. The establishment of the College, together with that of Wolfson (originally Iffley) College, arose out of pressure on the University during the early 1960s to solve the related problems of the increasing numbers of graduate students who needed a college affiliation, and the substantial number of senior members of the University with full-time teaching or research responsibilities who were entitled to a fellowship but had not been elected to a college.
