This history describes the evolution of the College with clarity and insight.

Sir Muir Gray CBE, Emeritus Fellow of Green Templeton College, Director of the Optimal Ageing Programme at Oxford

This account captures very effectively the essence of what has been the evolution of Green Templeton College. As with many organisations, it is a picture of higgledy piggledy growth or perhaps a random walk culminating in the first merger of two Oxford Colleges in modern times.

Professor Michael Earl, Emeritus Fellow Green Templeton College and former Dean of Templeton College

The ins and outs of this complex history and the characters involved are described in a memorable way – a must read for all of us who have come to love Green Templeton College.

John Lennox, Emeritus Professor of Mathematics, University of Oxford, Emeritus Fellow in Mathematics & Philosophy of Science, Green Templeton College

The book provides an important narrative in the story of bringing to pre-eminence at Oxford University the life-changing disciplines of medicine and management. David shines a bright light on the pioneering and persevering spirit of the key people and institutions involved along the way.

Dr Keith Ruddle, Emeritus Fellow Green Templeton College and former Templeton Fellow

The college has flourished, as documented brilliantly by David Cranston, in this new volume in his series, that continues to document the Oxford Medicine story.

Prof Alastair Buchan, Stroke Research, Radcliffe Department of Medicine, University of Oxford
