Review Quotes
'Neild is to be thanked and congratulated for shining a light into the murky finances not only of Trinity Cambridge as Oxbridge's wealthiest college [...] but now also of the University of Cambridge itself.' -David Palfreyman, Bursar of New College, University of Oxford, in 'Oxford Magazine'
'Prof Robert Neild of Trinity has turned his attention to a detailed study of Cambridge University finances... Until the Second World War, the educational aspect of university life was less important than the opportunity it gave rich young men to establish friendships with others... Prof Neild glimpsed the last of those days when he himself was at Trinity in 1957.' -Mike Petty, 'Cambridge News'
