With my very limited knowledge I would have thought ascendimus was best translated as "we ascend". My Latin is virtually non-existent so I won't revert you, but perhaps you could point out where I'm going wrong here. I would have thought "ascending" would be something like ascendens.

You are right that the -imus ending means that a literal translation would be either "we are ascending by degrees" or "we ascend by degrees". However, given the the pun of the motto, just "ascending by degrees" is probably the best translation. Perhaps it would be best to add in an explantaion? Tompw

It used to be reported that the motto was "Gradibus Ascendere", [1]. What does this mean? I don't know any Latin so cannot comment on this. — JG
you forget mary's. grey was only the second college
Was Mr Pence actually a member? I was under the impression that he just visited on an open day.
EDIT : Confirmed with the person who met them at the open day, will correct the main article.
EDIT 2: He attended the open day and then joined Grey having taken a year out to pursue musical interests.
EDIT 3: He is definitely a current college member, entering 3rd Year, studying Computer science. I am sure he would very much like to be re-added.
The text says that the College "has since adopted the phoenix as its unofficial badge". It can hardly be unofficial, given that it is the crest on the College's arms. But perhaps a Grey person should make the correction - certainly not I. Kranf ( talk) 07:39, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
The edit option seems to be playing up. I removed the trivia section and will incorporate the following into the article when it becomes possible to edit.
* Grey College was originally planned to be named Oliver Cromwell College, but this proved too controversial. [1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by THobern ( talk • contribs) 02:46, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
