Portraits in College
Our Archivist, Dr Robin Darwall-Smith (1982, Classics) has certainly had a busy time lately. Not only has he just completed the cataloguing of the complex collections of papers relating to the estates which Univ has owned in times past 鈥� the results of that herculean task can be seen on our page 鈥� he has also helped greatly in the production of our new page.
The page is a counterpart to our existing Portraits in Hall page and details a further 16 of our most important and noteworthy portraits.
Amongst these is a fascinating group portrait featuring Sir Michael Sadler, Master of Univ from 1923-34, and the first 鈥渙utsider鈥� to be elected to the post since 1692. Having declined the offer to sit for a more traditional portrait, the resulting group that Sir Michael insisted upon also includes three future Masters – John Wild (Fellow 1933鈥�45 and Master 1945鈥�51), Arthur Goodhart (Fellow 1931鈥�51 and Master 1951鈥�63), and John Maud (Fellow 1929鈥�39 and Master 1963鈥�76).
In addition to 鈥渢humbnail鈥� images of each portrait, and details of artist (where known) and sitter, the page also features a larger gallery of images; we hope you enjoy this new page.
