This is a list of the Chancellors, Vice-Chancellors and Visitors of Universities in the United Kingdom. In most cases, the Chancellor is a ceremonial head, while the Vice-Chancellor is chief academic officer and chief executive. In Scotland, the Principal is the chief executive and is usually ex-officio Vice-Chancellor, which is a purely titular position.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“Feminism is an entire world view or gestalt, not just a laundry list of womens issues.”
—Charlotte Bunch (b. 1944)
“We know no spectacle so ridiculous as the British public in one of its periodical fits of morality.”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (18001859)
“Cold an old predicament of the breath:
Adroit, the shapely prefaces complete,
Accept the university of death.”
