Terms
The school year is divided into three terms of which the first, the Michaelmas Term (September to December) is the longest. The Hilary Term is from January to March. The third is the Trinity Term, from April to June, and this is when external public examinations are taken. The Michaelmas Term has a substantial holiday at half-term, when the College closes down.

—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
“For my part, if a lie may do thee grace,
I’ll gild it with the happiest terms I have.”
