Abstract
Legend has it that a student in Queen’s College, Oxford, was walking in a forest reading Aristotle when he was attacked by a wild boar. Having left his sword behind, he shoved his book down the boar’s throat, choking it to death. Flushed with victory, the student brought the boar back to the college, where its head was saved for a feast. This ancient custom is still a part of the Christmas festivities at Queen’s College, and is incorporated into Madrigal feasts around the world. The Cast of Characters
