Subject: Fleur-de-LysxBulpadok Editor Letter

Dear Old College,

For the first time in history, the Fleur-de- Lys & the Bulpadok have come together as a combined edition. Fitting for a year like no other.

100 years ago the college faced the aftermath of WWI and the Spanish Flu, and whilst there are many parallels to 2020, I am at least grateful that unlike then, we have the internet. However, over 200 volumes of the Fleur-de-Lys can attest to the persistence of our beloved college. This edition especially exhibits that despite having to physically distance, we have found new ways to connect. Whether it be through Netflix parties, Maskerades, or a 1 hour permitted outing for a walk.

Despite the many hardships the COVID-19 pandemic brought with it, I cherish the memories of attempting DIY masks, virtual Zoom parties, and attending online uni tutorials in my Pjs.

Thank you for everyone's submissions gifted to the 2020 Bleur. It has truly been an honour and a pleasure to document this year. I hope you love this edition as much as we do.

Always with love, Sophia Gawan-Taylor.
