Domina illuminatio mea?
8 April 2013
It looks from this picture almost as if our visitors from Smith’s Wood Sports College experienced divine illumination. Indeed, it might almost be an illustration of the motto of the university: ‘Dominus illuminatio mea’ (‘The Lord is my light’). But the rays were cast by nothing stronger than the lights in the Old Library – a room we use regularly to welcome school groups – and the intellectual illumination was due entirely to what Dr Emma Smith (third from the left) had to say about Shakespeare’s As You Like It. Why not encourage your school to pay us a visit and enjoy some Hertford-style enlightenment?
