Like other videos of past Rectors in this series Lord Oxburgh is also reflecting on his time in that post. He was in conversation with Anne Barrett Archivist of Imperial College. We recorded the conversation in the college TV Studio in 2006, the year before Imperial&#8217;s centenary. Until now, only a few minutes of this recording were used and that was only on the centenary website.<\/p>\r\n<p>He was Rector from 1993 until 2001 when Sir Richard Sykes took over the post. Like in Sir Richard&#8217;s conversation (to be released next in this series), he singles out 170 Queen&#8217;s Gate for particular mention. Lord and Lady Oxburgh are seen in the photo above, taken at Imperial College in 2006.<\/p>\r\n<p><div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/blYQf7F0z7E?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Colin Grimshaw April 2024<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This was one in our series of conversations that we recorded to coincide with the Imperial College Centenary in 2007.
