This declaration was traditionally an oral oath, but is now usually made by signing a letter to a similar effect. Ceremonies in which readers recite the declaration are still performed for those who wish to take them; these occur primarily at the start of the university's <a href="/wiki/Michaelmas_term" title="Michaelmas term">Michaelmas term</a>. External readers (those not attached to the university) are still required to recite the declaration orally prior to admission. The Bodleian Admissions Office has amassed a large collection of translations of the declaration – covering over one hundred different languages as of spring 2017<a href="#cite_note-Twitter-7">[7]</a> – allowing those who are not native English speakers to recite it in their first language. The English text of the declaration is as follows: <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1244412712">.mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0
