           <description><![CDATA[
  Balliol may have a reputation for elitism — there was that unfortunate remark by Prime Minister Herbert Asquith, himself a graduate of the college, about Balliol men engendering “a tranquil consciousness of effortless superiority” — but in truth the college has long been a pioneer in the field of bringing education to a wider public.

  Even planners of those dreadful 1950s and 60s ‘comprehensive redevelopment’ programmes, so loathed by Betjeman, and in many cases more destructive than the German bombs that preceded them, tended to save two stalwarts of what they, from their godlike position, viewed as ‘the community’: pubs and churches.
