"[The University of Sheffield] combines a number of things in a fairly unique way. It is world-class. At the same time it also has a set of values that are quite unique. People really have strong values, they care about the city and want to make a positive contribution to society. I don't know if there are many universities that manage to do those two things at the same time – be excellent, and at the same time be a very humane institution."

"We understand fully the value of archaeology and we recognise the Department’s historic reputation."
