Caird lecturing to the North American Summer sessions, Mansfield College, Oxford, 1975. During the academic year students from colleges across Oxford flocked to hear him discourse on virtually any subject. As Henry Chadwick remarked, "He lectured as he preached, almost always without a note . . . with nothing before him but a Greek New Testament, usually upside down, for he knew the text by heart"
