About Green Templeton College
Green Templeton was formed by the merging of Oxford's Green and Templeton Colleges.
As an all-postgraduate college, Green Templeton has a single common room for its Students and Fellows, to encourage their interaction.
The merger between Green College and Templeton College was the first in the University's modern history. After being approved by the University Council and the Governing Bodies of both colleges, it was formally announced in July 2007. Green Templeton College (GTC) was officially opened on 1 October 2008.
Building on the already established strengths of the Green and Templeton Colleges, GTC focuses on a variety of subjects, especially those in the medical and life sciences, the management sciences, and a range of social sciences.

Famous quotes containing the words green, templeton and/or college:
“Chaucer is fresh and modern still, and no dust settles on his true passages. It lightens along the line, and we are reminded that flowers have bloomed, and birds sung, and hearts beaten in England. Before the earnest gaze of the reader, the rust and moss of time gradually drop off, and the original green life is revealed. He was a homely and domestic man, and did breathe quite as modern men do.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I feel a strange delight that fills me full,
Strange gratitude, as if evil itself were beautiful,”
—Frank Templeton Prince (b. 1912)
“Love begins like a triolet and ends like a college yell.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
