St Edmund Hall: St. Edmund Hall, the oldest continuing seat of education at the University of Oxford, is fortunate to have five special collections of books, and a general collection of antiquarian books.
Within the University it is better known by its nickname, "Teddy Hall". It has a claim to being "the oldest academical society for the education of undergraduates (A. B. Emden) in any University"
St Edmund Hall began life as one of Oxford's ancient Aularian houses, the mediaeval halls that laid the foundation of the University, preceding the creation of the first colleges. As the only surviving mediaeval hall, its members are known as "Aularians". St Edmund Hall took on the status of a college in 1957, though retaining the historical moniker of "Hall".
