The Censors are academics who have taken on responsibility for overseeing the academic life of the House as well as many aspects of its social life for up to four years. They sit on all the major Governing Body committees, hold regular meetings with representatives of the Junior and Graduate Common Rooms, and seek to coordinate the interests of Junior Members.
