The Russell Group

Lately I have been roaming the net for necessities to get cracking on some change. These are 13 (out of 20) Russell Group Universities, Britain's equivalent of America's Ivy League. The presence on the list of two of our planet's academic elites is not meant to sound ambitious. Funding is what I had to have a look at all of them for. Their mottos in latin, the 11th in welsh, exude old-world charm.
