End is nigh for Oxbridge 'hegemony', predicts head
The Times, 21/08/2013, p.6, Greg Hurst

Dr Hands is Master of Magdalen College School.

The Graduates
The Times, 21/08/2013, p.21
The emergence of an Ivy League that threatens the Oxbridge hegemony should be celebrated… “Indeed, all the rest of the top 20 were in the US, save for the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. By the time one reaches 50, Britain has also notched up University College London, the University of Edinburgh, the London School of Economic and Political Sciences, and the University of Manchester.”
