 The college 's undergraduate gossip sheet is entitled The <unk> in allusion to an offensive joke about Welsh people 's supposed penchant for sheep . Furthermore , the Welshness of the College is self @-@ perpetuating , as Welsh students will often apply to Jesus because it is seen as the Welsh college . Old members recall the college having a majority of Welsh members until well into the 20th century ; today , however , around 15 % of undergraduates come from Wales . For comparison , residents of Wales comprise just under 5 % of the United Kingdom population ( 2 @.@ 9 million out of a total of 58 @.@ 8 million at the time of the 2001 Census ) .
