 This became a reality in the 1960s when one of the college's benefactors stepped forward and donated funds that allowed Selwyn College to join with King's College, and Churchill College to build a new combined boathouse.In 1968, the combined boathouse opened on the River Cam to great fanfare as the three colleges, plus the Leys School, celebrated their new facilities.This new combined boathouse was somewhat further away from Selwyn and King's, being located on the north end of the River Cam near Jesus Green.
