CAMBRIDGE TRADITIONS: Punting on the Cam is a popular traditional Cambridge pastime whatever the season. Students may be seen practising their rowing skills on the stretch of river alongside Midsummer Common in preparation for the traditional intercollegiate rowing competitions known as `Lents' and the `May Bumps'. Traditional gowns and hoods are worn by students and academics during formal occasions - the experienced eye can tell the college and status of the wearer. After the exams have finished in June the colleges organise all-night celebrations known as `May Balls'.
