IIRC the enmity between Trinity College and Trinity Hall (Camb) is 
legend. Didn't a load of students sneak over the wall in the middle
of the night and paint the other college's boathouse green? Or am I
mixing up my anecdotes? It could have been Trinity College Oxford and
Baliol. They've hated each other for centuries, too. 

Ah... the uses to which undergrads put their time...
