{{cite book}}: |work= ignored (help)The newcomer came from what we scornfully termed a"redbrick" university. A "redbrick" was a university found relatively recently: "greybrick" universities were of greater antiquity. The distinction was arbitrary, and led to heated arguments as to which institutions of higher learning were included in which category.[self-published source]
Large numbers of staff and students consciously stress the "differentness" of Durham by referring to it consciously as "non-redbrick" or "greybrick" even.

Experimental statistics on longitudinal education outcomes showing university graduate earnings and employment.
The change in the percentage by which the hourly pay of graduates exceeds that of non-graduates mainly impacted on those born after 1987.
New research based on the Longitudinal Educational Outcomes dataset sheds more light on the complex question of whether obtaining a university degree is worth the financial cost of doing so.

Mrs G E Parry, BA (Londin)[permanent dead link] – this reference uses Oxon, Cantab, Dunelm and Londin but other universities, including Edinburgh and Glasgow, are given in English
Over the past 10 years the university has become an increasingly loose federation of independent institutions that are universities in their own right and receive their grants directly from the Higher Education Funding Council for England, although they still hand out degrees on behalf of the central university.
Law schools fall into the same five broad categories as universities generally in this regard. There's the collegiate trio of Oxford, Cambridge and Durham (and King's College London, just pre-Victorian). Then came what used to be called the "redbricks" or civic universities from Victorian times to the interwar years — Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds among them.
Professor Whyte said that [Redbrick] "describes the late 19th, early 20th-century foundations": including Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, Bristol, Sheffield, Newcastle, as well as Dundee "and the Welsh universities" beyond England
This follows the tradition of using the Latin name for towns and cities as in the University of Cambridge (Cantab.) for Cantabrigia or University of Durham (Dunelm), a shorter version of the Latin, Dunelmensis.
