Oxford: Normal or weird?

A very typical sight. Note the palm tree, the facade, the gargoyles and the fellow in academic gown.
A mexican wave of people who've just matriculated.
People being led around the city by a piper.
A nice view? In Oxford, this is a rather normal one. The building to your left is the Bodlein library, a dreary place for all who study there. And ahead, you see colleges where students battle both the Oxford flu and the Oxford workload.
I don't see this everyday, but it seems like none of the people on the photo care.
