“SciencesPo, the best British University in France”

November 29, 2008

The French Chamber of Commerce in the UK has published a nice article (pdf) about Sciences Po Alumni Gala Dinner 2008.

ccf-gala-article

The article mentions an excellent quote from Howard Davies, Director of the London School of Economics, who started his speech at the Gala by stating that “SciencesPo is definitively the best British university in France”. A very good taste of the famous Bristish humour that was welcomed by burst of laugh in the (mostly French) audience.
