I strongly urge university faculty and administrators interested in residential colleges to take a close look at Durham and see what structures there might be adapted for their own use.
every Durham University student belongs to a college, whether you live in college or elsewhere.
Durham did not, for example, follow the professorial model of the older English universities, which was itself the subject of calls for reform. The professorial model at Durham followed the Scottish pattern. Thorp always intended that the Professors would work: they would 'have the charge of the studies in their respective departments and work as at Glasgow and the foreign Universities, and as they did at Oxford in old times'.
