Dr Henry Kissinger visited Pembroke College on Wednesday evening as part of the Xchanging German Xcellence Lecture series. The visit had been kept under wraps and only invited guests were allowed to attend. The Nobel Prize winner, who was at the heart of US foreign policy making in the 1970s and has since been an influential advisor to other US and international governments, spoke of the global financial crisis, the EU presidency, Afghanistan, and modern methods of warfare amongst other things. The whole evening was recorded and will shortly be available to watch on Pembroke’s website

Varsity is the independent newspaper for the University of Cambridge, established in its current form in 1947. In order to maintain our editorial independence, our print newspaper and news website receives no funding from the University of Cambridge or its constituent Colleges.

We are therefore almost entirely reliant on advertising for funding and we expect to have a tough few months and years ahead.

In spite of this situation, we are going to look at inventive ways to look at serving our readership with digital content and of course in print too!

Therefore we are asking our readers, if they wish, to make a donation from as little as £1, to help with our running costs. Many thanks, we hope you can help!
