Sir: In your leading article of 30 June, you state that only Sir Isaac Wolfson and Jesus have a college named after them at both Oxford and Cambridge. I apologise for being pedantic, but this is wrong.
St John and St Peter have eponymous colleges at both universities - Peterhouse at Cambridge is named after the saint. Mary Magdelene is similarly honoured, with Magdelen in Oxford and Magdelene in Cambridge.
Yours faithfully,
EDWARD HOLLOX
Cambridge
