LEGENDS One of these traditions is the wooden spoon, a "Prize" awarded until 1909 to the one who received the lowest mark, that was not a rejection, in tripos math. After that date, the results of this tripos were published not more in order of merit, but in alphabetical order according to the various classes, and this practice had to be abandoned. Another legend is it that the famous Mathematical Bridge built by Newton was initially assembled without screws, using only the help of a proper balance of physical forces. When some professors in the following years they decided to examine the bridge to understand as it had been built, were unable to reassemble it, having to add inevitably numerous screws A myth about the wealth of Trinity College explains how it is possible to walk all the way between Cambridge and Oxford on lands owned by the college itself.
