Upward graph
Professor Alison Richard, Cambridge University Vice-Chancellor, at the Senate House. I thought the fencing made an excellent upward graph to go with this extract from her recent letter to alumni:
"With tough economic circumstances facing so many people and institutions around the world, 2009 may not seem the best of times for celebrations, and the University and Colleges are certainly not immune to the difficulties. We, too, are tightening our belts, and doing what we can to support graduating students about to enter a poor job market. The long perspective provides reassurance, however, for Cambridge has seen troubled times before. Pestilence and pandemics, the collapse of the South Sea Bubble in 1720, wars local and global: Cambridge has emerged from many storms with its flags flying, and will do so again."
