As well as being a distinguished and principled former senior civil servant, Dennis was the Principal who took Mansfield to its status as a full College of the University of Oxford in 1995.  He championed open and fair recruitment in the civil service, and we are proud that this ethos also permeates our College, and the way we seek to recruit students, academics and administrative staff.

Our condolences go to his children, Joanna and Jonathan.
