The sundial is engraved "Celebrating the Thirtieth Anniversary
of the first admission of women undergraduates to Balliol 1979 - 2009" and also "About Time".
A line on the dial that marks the day that the first woman undergraduate entered Balliol lights up each year on that date – 11th October – because of a notch on the gnomon.
The sundial doubles as a moon dial on the nights of the full moon, and on 3 or 4 before and after as the moon waxes and wanes.
Only visible during College opening times.
