Oxford professor
Dreaming spires academic
A professor at Oxford University, one of the world's oldest and most prestigious academic institutions.
The term often carries connotations of elite intellectual authority, traditional scholarship, and sometimes ivory-tower detachment: He had the manner of an Oxford professor—tweed jacket, pipe, and all.
In casual use, calling someone an Oxford professor may suggest they're erudite but impractical.
