Nomination of Brian Blessed for Chancellor of Cambridge University
I sent a letter today. Perhaps the most useful thing I’ve done in months.
Friday 3 June 2011
To whom it may concern,
Nomination of Brian Blessed for Chancellor of Cambridge University
I hereby nominate actor, author and mountaineer Brian Blessed for the role of Chancellor of Cambridge University.
Brian’s accomplishments are legendary; a distinguished Shakespearian actor yet a gentleman with the common touch. A mountain of a man, yet one who climbs mountains. Members of the senate, let us not let this opportunity go by to nominate the greatest living Englishman as chancellor of our great university.
Yours faithfully,
Ben Parker,
Pembroke College,
Matriculation year 1996
