Quote by Lord Sainsbury of Turville, Chancellor of the University of Cambridge from October 2011 to June 2024:" It has been a great honour and pleasure to be Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, one of the world’s greatest universities. Over the years, I have watched with awe how the University has produced an endless stream of brilliant research and an enlightened education for its undergraduates and postgraduates, and I hope that by being Chancellor, and in a number of other ways, I have to some extent repaid my debt to the University.
