Major Project- Researching Cambridge Graduation Ceremonies

Based on the first script draft I submitted, I have chosen to do some research into the way the Cambridge graduation system in the past was performed. The reason for this is so that my depiction of Cindy's graduation can be historically accurate.
The ceremony I previously scripted was based on my own interpretation of the graduation ceremony, which I believe I may have based on the many depictions of the process which I have seen in movies and television shows. The main problem with this, is that the movies and television shows I have seen ceremonies in are often located in the USA, a place where the graduation process is very extravagant, especially in comparison to the much more formal, low-key British graduations.

I began my research on the internet, and came across this article by Marie Beard entitled; "A Don's Life- Degree Results" in which she describes the past process of collecting degree results.
She explains that the process basically involved the students results being available to be seen on some kind of notice board for all to see. This is a far cry from the graduation ceremonies I am used to, which usually involve the results being confidential, and the receiving of them being overly extravagant, and a big deal.

Marie also names the actual building where the results could be found, which is called the "Senate House"

Now that I know exactly what the process would have been in the past for collecting degree results, as well as having several images of the actual location the results would have been collected at, I should be able to craft and script a story that is much more historically correct.
