As a Cantabridgean (Kings '82), I take exception to this characterization.
Oxford is the reactionary place. Cambs is the home of all the Cambridge
Commies, remember? When I got there in '80, the secretary at the college
apologized for the confusion: they were recovering from another student
occupation. Within a week or so of my arrival, I was part of a large demo,
including many distinguished dons like Raymond Williams, against the Chilean
ambassador. And the Cambs style runs to clean-shaven, in emulation of
Wittgenstein, himself a compsym who thanks Sraffa, the neo-Ricardan
Stalinist and friend of Gramsci, in his acknowledgement to the Phil
Investigations. Cambs is a locus for the revolt of the priviliged! --jks
