'Oxford is a great city and has been a great city since the beginning.... parliaments were held there, people escaped across the ice during the reign of Stephen.... people at Oxford are nasty about each other, they're malicious, you see. I simply can't imagine anything like the cult of Rupert Brooke. ' Helen Gardner ,
Dorothy Hodgkin , Daphne Park ,
Dilys Powell , Janet Vaughan and Veronica Wedgwood reflect on Oxford University past and present and on what it means to them.
