Oxford students get naked on campus for charity calendar

Undergraduates at Oxford University seem have to mislaid their gowns...and all the rest of their clothing. A group of scholars agreed to pose for a saucy naked calendar to raise money for poverty-stricken third world countries.

And their antics have caused something of a stir with their straight-laced tutors, since all the scenes were shot in Oxford's most famous historic locations.

One surprised college warden said the £10 calendar had embarrassed traditionalists at the alma mater of Einstein, Stephen Hawking and 25 British Prime Ministers.

'It's not something that would have happened in my day', he said. 'I certainly blushed when I saw it but the students are having a good time and all the proceeds go to charity so it's worth it.'

Rosie Batty, a 20-year-old Physics student from East Sussex who features on the front cover and two inside pages described stripping off in the university grounds as a 'real buzz'.

Rosie, who appears in February's shoot cuddling up to a naked male student and in the naked punting pose said: 'Punting naked on the river was the naughtiest. It was 5.30 in the morning and I'm sure some of the windows from nearby halls were steaming up from people looking at us.'

Around 60 students took part in the calendar in aid of Oxford-based charity TravelAid.
