TOASTING IN “SWIG”
Jesus College, Oxford, has its own method of celebrating St. David’s Day. B or one thing, there is the toasting of St. David in “swig,” an exclusive and potent brew. This is dispensed by a ladle that holds half a pint from a beautiful silver bowl presented for the purpose by Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn In 1732. The College is renowned for its number of Welshmen.
