MICHAEL FOOT
The College has received with great sadness the news today (3.3.2010) of the death of the Rt Hon Michael Foot, PC, MA, Exhibitioner PPE (1931-34); Honorary Fellow (1969-2010); Lord President of the Council and Leader of the House of Commons (1976-79); Leader of the Labour Party and Leader of the Opposition (1980-83). He was deeply attached to Wadham, prizing the progressive aspects of the College’s tradition. In 1933, when he was President of the Union, he featured as Isis 'Idol' in the university magazine. The tribute commented that he was 'in the best tradition of Radical beliefs, with a sympathy and a tolerance which make him loathe oppression, and which, if they were not confined to the Michael Foots of this world, would make it impossible'. Such commitment and integrity were to characterise him throughout his life.
