因為熟讀過Isaiah Berlin (牛津大學Wolfson College創始院長Founding President，1909-97) 的傳記和某些作品， 所以感覺此地很親切。
Wolfson College 網頁的 College History 特別介紹Berlin 院長：https://www.wolfson.ox.ac.uk/history/berlin
很意思有的是，網頁似乎完全沒說建物捐贈者家族：內行人知道， Wolfson College 的 Wolfson家族是也： https://www.wolfson.ox.ac.uk/history/berlin
幾年前，聽許達然學長說，他見過Berlin，可惜談什麼都忘記了。
雖然介紹該學院重視自然科學和技術，不過2015.11.9 參訪學院網頁，知道她有西藏/喜瑪拉雅研究的年度演講：

Coming up to its 50th anniversary, Wolfson College is one of the youngest colleges in Oxford and prides itself on a non-hierarchical structure, where students and professors eat and talk side-by-side.

The college motto, 'humani nil alienum', is from a quote by the Roman playwright Terence that translates as: 'Nothing to do with human beings is foreign to me.'

人間事事皆非度外；人間事事皆關心？

“But the multitude of the wise is the welfare of the world: and a wise king is the upholding of the people.” 

King James Version (KJV)

Wisdom of Solomon 6:24 Context

21If your delight be then in thrones and sceptres, O ye kings of the people, honour wisdom, that ye may reign for evermore. 22As for wisdom, what she is, and how she came up, I will tell you, and will not hide mysteries from you: but will seek her out from the beginning of her nativity, and bring the knowledge of her into light, and will not pass over the truth. 23Neither will I go with consuming envy; for such a man shall have no fellowship with wisdom. 24But the multitude of the wise is the welfare of the world: and a wise king is the upholding of the people. 25Receive therefore instruction through my words, and it shall do you good.

【思高本聖經 智慧】 6:24
²⁶智慧人眾多，世界纔有救；君王明達，民生纔安定。
