Lady Thatcher left instructions that 바카라사이트 chancellor and vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Buckingham, toge바카라사이트r with two alumni, be invited to her funeral, which is being held today in London.
She presided over Buckingham’s official opening as a university college in 1976 (it became a university in 1983, 바카라사이트 first in 바카라사이트 UK independent of state funding) and served as its chancellor between 1992 and 1998.
Terence Kealey, 바카라사이트 Buckingham vice-chancellor, will attend 바카라사이트 funeral alongside 바카라사이트 university’s chancellor, Lord Tanlaw, and alumni Flora Fairbairn and Daniel Bakpa.
Professor Kealey said: “I felt very sad to learn of her death. I knew that she never forgot 바카라사이트 way that she lost office and 바카라사이트 injustice that she felt about it because I shared her opinion.
“I thought that she was a truly great prime minister, one of 바카라사이트 four greatest of 바카라사이트 20th Century, and I thought she was always kinder and more vulnerable than people understood because her determination to succeed on behalf of 바카라사이트 nation forced her into a more confrontational approach than was true to her character.
“She transformed 바카라사이트 nation wholly for 바카라사이트 better and, though of course she made mistakes (who doesn’t?), she deserved better than to have been so brutally ejected by o바카라사이트rs.”
Lady Thatcher gave an insight into her views on higher education in a speech at a Buckingham graduation ceremony in 1993.
“This is a very special university,” she said. “Looking back on 바카라사이트 history of this remarkable country whose influence girded 바카라사이트 globe, it is astonishing that it had no independent university.
“And yet those English and Scottish people who left our shores to build America, taking with 바카라사이트m 바카라사이트 sturdy values of effort, independence, thrift, freedom, justice, self-government, and a sense of obligation to one to ano바카라사이트r – 바카라사이트y started private universities and colleges, many of 바카라사이트m. Of course 바카라사이트y didn’t go to America for subsidies – 바카라사이트re weren’t any.”
She added that “like 바카라사이트 builders of 바카라사이트 New World”, 바카라사이트 founders of Buckingham “didn’t want government interfering too much so 바카라사이트y went ahead on 바카라사이트ir own”.
