Warmest congratulations to Chrystia Freeland on this brilliant and exciting appointment. Chrystia brings exceptional ability, energy, and international experience to the leadership of the Rhodes Scholarships, including to the support of Rhodes Scholars studying in Oxford.

Today (Nov 2) is 35th anniversary of passing of R John Vincent (1943-90). Warmly remembered w admiration & gratitude, brilliant scholar & teacher of International Relations, dear colleague & friend. Love to @libertyangela @GeraintITV @Gareth_Vincent Tribute in @InstinctsToLead

Meanwhile, while preparing to start as Head of King’s College at University of Queensland (my alma mater) later this year, I am working on a book - “The College Ideal” - which argues for collegiate education, and I hope reflects something of what is so special about St Mark’s.

Great to see my wonderful recent position - Head of St Mark’s College, Adelaide - advertised. St Mark’s is a very special university college. I love its students, staff, and supportive community. For the right person, this is a profoundly rewarding role. odgers.com/en-gb/opportuniti…

Today is the 40th anniversary of the death of Hedley Bull (10 June 1932 – 18 May 1985), a great scholar of International Relations, and an inspiring teacher and mentor. Remembered with deep gratitude and affection. #OTD
