he head of an Oxford college has pleaded with donors not to withdraw their money amid a row over the university’s links to the British Empire.

Professor Maggie Snowling, president of St John's College, has been accused by angry benefactors of backing an attempt to strip the institution of its colonial past, it is understood.

A number of donors have said that they will withhold their grants this year in protest, while others have threatened to do so.
