The 1947 legislation has served us well. It has undergirded our diplomatic efforts, provided the basis to establish our military capa- bilities, and focused our intelligence assets. But the world has changed dramatically in the last fifty years, and particularly in the last decade. Institutions designed in another age may or may not be appropriate for the future. It is the mandate of the United States Commission on National Security/21st Century to examine precise- ly that question. It has undertaken to do so in three phases: the first to describe the world emerging in the first quarter of the next century, the second to design a national security strategy appropri- ate to that world, and the third to propose necessary changes to the national security structure in order to implement that strategy effectively.

  • Exeter Excelling a Celebration of Success Message from the Rector Professor Sir Rick Trainor
    EXETER EXCELLING A CELEBRATION OF SUCCESS MESSAGE FROM THE RECTOR PROFESSOR SIR RICK TRAINOR leap forwards in securing xeter’s future It is with great honour and pleasure that I can announce, with gratitude to the whole Exeter community, that we have exceeded our goal of raising £45 million over the last 10 years. The Exeter Excelling campaign was launched in 2006 and, over the period leading up to our 700th anniversary in 2014 – and a little beyond – we have received support on a scale that has never before been achieved by an Oxford college. With over 4,000 alumni making a gift in this period, and support also from parents, friends, Fellows, staff and even current students, we have leapt forwards in securing Exeter’s future as it enters its eighth century. Your support has created an entirely new quadrangle for this and future generations of Exonians – the biggest single expansion of the College since its earliest years. In addition you have secured tutorial teaching and made study at Oxford an affordable option for the brightest young minds in the UK and around the world. Thank you for what you’ve done as a member of this family: for your friendship, your support, your guidance, and most of all for your passion in seeing Exeter excel. In celebrating these achievements, I know you will join with me in giving substantial credit and heartfelt thanks to Rector Frances Cairncross whose vision and leadership brought this Campaign, and indeed Cohen Quad, into existence. I have very much inherited the success that her endeavours, for which we are all grateful, have brought about.
