Collegium sive aula D. Catharinæ in Universitate Cantabrigiensi

What is the D. for? The Wednesday Island 00:10, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Introduction

The introduction of this article appears to be needing a brush up. It says that "Catz has a reputation for being a very easy-going and well balanced college". This is, in my opinion, not really a fair description given the efforts made to make Catz move up amongst the academically most succesful college which, eventually, succeded in 2005 by being placed at the top of the Tompkins table. Could we make a formulation something like that Catz is known for combining a strong academic tradition with a friendly and well balanced community?
