List of people associated with Trinity College, Oxford

(Redirected from President of Trinity College, Oxford)

This is a list of notable people affiliated with Trinity College at Oxford University, England. It includes former students, current and former academics and fellows, as listed in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography or another available source. The overwhelming maleness of this list is explained by the fact that for over 90% of its history (from its foundation in 1555 until 1979), Trinity was an all-male institution.[1]
