Until the early 60s most male students (other than medics) were older
because they had to do National Service first.

I don't think that's true

See
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Cleese#Early_life_and_education,
para 3. He was over three years older than the youngest of his College
intake, who did not do N.S.

3 years wasn't that hard even without N.S. I passed 19 within my first month
at Cambridge while Simon Norton came up at 16.
