St Catherine's College is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford. The college developed from the St Catherine's Society; it was granted full status as a college in 1962, after a campaign by the historian Alan Bullock, who became the first master of the college, and later vice-chancellor of the university. In 1974, it was one of the first men's colleges to admit women.
