...this change breaks faith with a fellowship far greater than that of one college. The procession of universities stretches from young Swansea through stripling Yale to aging Harvard and continues back through the centuries to ancient Paris and Bologna. When next our President travels to an academic convocation, he must expect to be derided as the man who changed Alma Mater to Foster Mother...
Redbricks abound in able professors, from Leeds's noted Chemist Frederick Dainton to Swansea's Novelist Kingsley (Lucky Jim) Amis. But not all redbrick dons are happy with their "exile" from cozy Oxbridge. Novelist Amis himself is shifting soon to Cambridge.

And at Swansea, as Macmillan walked wearily toward a railroad station entrance after a seven-speech day, a woman bystander suddenly assailed him with a loud "Boo-oo-oo." Rounding on his tormentor, the Prime...
...Caitiff Angels. The least resentful of all Lucky Jims, Kingsley Amis follows Voltaire's advice and cultivates his own garden behind the sprawling ten-room house in Swansea, Wales, where he lives with his blonde wife Hilary and two sons and a daughter, all three under ten.
