The new Vice-Chancellor of Oxford...
...is an American. He is currently the Provost (sort of a second-in-command to the President) at my daughter's university. http://www.ox.ac.uk/media/news_stories/2008/080616a.html
It's a tough job and I wish Doc Hamilton all the luck in the world.
Being the Chancellor in charge of vice at Oxford is no laughing matter, there's a huge demand for it, especially from the Dons.
Doc Hood will be sadly missed - he was very generous with the sherry :lol:
