Roger Lonsdale - Balliol College, Oxford

Roger Lonsdale is a British Author, and has been a Fellow and Tutor at Balliol College Oxford. Balliol College founded in 1263,is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in England but founded by a family with strong Scottish connections.Traditionally, the undergraduates are amongst the most politically active in the university, and the college's alumni include three former prime ministers. H. H. Asquith (a Balliol undergraduate and British Prime Minister) once wryly described Balliol men as possessing "the tranquil consciousness of an effortless superiority." Adam Smith, a graduate student of the college, is perhaps its best known alumnus. During Benjamin Jowett's Mastership in the 19th century, the College rose from its relative obscurity to occupy the first rank of colleges, and indeed continues to play a prominent role. As of 2009, Balliol had an endowment of Pds. 64 m.
