When I was up at Balliol a long time ago (1963-5), I don't recall a single white tie event--black tie, yes, but not white tie. Is the ball being held by some club on the order the Bullingdon at Oxford?
Of course, we're not talking here about sub-fusc, but that wouldn't be worn to a ball.
It is pleasantly surprising to see the formality quotient at the ancient universities actually rising, it would seem.
