Subject

University of Exeter

Description

Crossmead Hall was acquired in 1944. The pond at the hall of residence was dredged each summer and used by the students as a swimming pool. Crossmead residents were known as Jentlemen as they travelled to and from campus on Exeter's J bus.

'C-R-O-S-S-M-E-A-D!
C-R-O-S-S-M-E-A-D!
Crossmead, way up on Dunsford Hill
Where social life is nil,
An ever rising bill,
Way up on Duns---ford Hill.
J for Gentlemen
Jentlemen, Jentle, Jentle, Jentlemen.'

The Crossmead Hall song.
