The tour was meant to highlight the roles of various Cambridge institutions in financing the arms trade, specifically through the ownership of mass shares in British Aerospace, the country's largest weapons exporter. Stops included St. John's College, the Cambridge City Council, Sidney Sussex College, the Army Recruiting Centre, and we ended up with a minute of silence for ALL the dead of ALL wars at the Cambridge War Memorial. Present was a strong contingent of demonstrators, several police escorts, and the always humorous University Proctors. The day was a success, and as I write this CamSAW representatives are in a discussion with the Financial Bursar of Sidney Sussex College regarding its investment practices.
