本文考察了以牛津大学和剑桥大学为代表的大学模式的变化。这是自Rose和Ziman的《康福德观察》（1964年）以来首次对两所大学进行深入研究。虽然英国大学制定了不同的结构和程序，但它们也确实有许多相同的价值观，并且其中许多核心价值观受到了牛津剑桥模式的影响。特别是，大学自治和大学事务的教士统治的传统已经渗透到英国高等教育中。过去 25 年发生了根本性的变化的是高等教育的政治环境。国家和社会对大学的要求更加怀疑，对大学自治的优点不太同情，而更加坚持大学回应社会的需求。牛津剑桥如何与这种不断变化的环境互动？作者认为，事实证明，这两所大学善于应对变革的压力，但尽管它们将继续保持英国最负盛名的大学的地位，但它们对高等教育体系的更广泛影响力正在急剧下降。
This examines the changing model of the university as represented by Oxford and Cambridge. It is the first in-depth study of the two universities since Rose and Ziman's "Camford Observed" (1964). While British universities have developed different structures and procedures it is also true that they have many of the same values and many of these core values have been influenced by the Oxbridge model. In particular, the traditions of university autonomy and donnish domination of the affairs of universities have permeated British higher education. What has changed radically in the last 25 years is the political environment of higher education. State and society are more sceptical of the demands of the universities, less sympathetic to the virtues of university autonomy, and more insistent that they respond to the needs of society. How has Oxbridge interacted with this changing environment? The authors argue that the two universities have proved adept at responding to the pressures for change but, while they will continue to remain Britain's most prestitigious universities, their wider influence upon the system of higher education is in terminal decline.
