Dr Pippa Rogerson writes:

This last year has been busy. There has been a real sense that Covid is behind us finally as we celebrated the last catch-up event with MA ceremonies for the 2014 cohort three years late.

Thirteen new Fellows were admitted this year: Dr David Hosking (for research in physics), Dr Victoria Baena (for research in literature and modern languages), Dr Vaithish Velazhahan (for research into molecular biology), Professor Lionel Smith (Downing Professor of the Laws of England), who returns having taken an LLM at Caius in 1990, Dr Erik Niblaeus (Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic), Dr Li Wan (Land Economy), Mr Franco Basso (Classics), Dr Dunecan Massey (Clinical Medicine), Dr Zoë Fritz (Clinical Medicine), Professor Jason Head (Zoology), Dr Fotis Vergis (Law), and Dr Grace Idahosa (Education).

We said farewell to the Domestic Bursar Jennifer Phillips after seven years to take on the Senior Bursarship at Selwyn. The College owes her a huge debt of gratitude for her energy and skill in delivering the Kitchen Refurbishment Project pretty much on time and within budget, especially through Covid. We welcomed Karen Ball in March, who immediately was thrown into the refurbishment of St Mikes A-F, which will now take place in 2024-5. Sadly, Bob Pryor, groundsman for many years and friend to generations of Caians, died in September. The Rev Dr Megan Daffern was Acting Dean for the year and is now Canon Chancellor at Wells Cathedral. Other Bye-Fellows joining the College were Professor Aaron Koller (Cook-Crone Research Bye-Fellow for 2022-23), Dr José Paiva Miranda de Siqueira (Mathematics), Dr Russell Moore (Computer Science) and Professor Nicholas Dorey for Lent and Easter 2023 (Mathematics).

We note the sad deaths this year of Honorary Fellows Lord Morris of Aberavon KG, KC and Professor Luigi Pasinetti. Emeritus Fellow Professor Eugene Paykel also died as well as Christopher Bailey, Gonville Fellow Benefactor. Prof Ahmed left the Fellowship on his appointment as Director for Freedom of Speech and Academic Freedom at the Office for Students. Dr Victoria Bateman, Professor Robert Gordon, Dr Joseph Ashmore, Dr Thea Don-Siemieon and Professor Jason Head have also just left the Fellowship, as has Dr Nicholas Simcik Arese on his appointment to the Chair of History and Theory at the Architectural Association in London. We congratulate Professor Sarah Foot (1989) the new Dean of Christ Church, Oxford and Regius Professor of Ecclesiastical History.

Richard Duncan-Jones Classics

Sarah is an old friend: coincidentally she and I were exact contemporaries at Newnham in 1980 and elected Fellows at Caius on the same day in 1989.

This year has not been without its challenges. The University sector suffered strikes by lecturers and professors. These went beyond not giving lectures to a marking boycott. Some 45% of the final-year undergraduate cohort could not be granted BA degrees in the summer. Everyone went through the same ceremony, holding the Praelector’s fingers, me incanting Latin, and proud parents and supporters present in the Senate House. The classicists might have noticed that the words were congratulating them on completing their time in Cambridge rather than admitting them to a degree. The story ends well as the boycott of marking ended in the autumn. At the time of writing, everyone has had their papers marked and all have been officially granted their degrees.

The College is committed to freedom of expression and also to equality, diversity and inclusion. However, the operation of these (sometimes competing) principles poses challenges within a small community. There were two notable events in College during the year: Helen Joyce and Simon Fanshawe both gave talks in the Bateman Auditorium. These garnered strong views from all perspectives. People from across the Town and Gown exercised their right of protest outside Caius Court on Senate House Passage, which could be heard in the Auditorium. The authority of the College stops at the border of the College on public property.

Admitting undergraduate students is a critical matter for the College. Over the past three years fewer overseas students have applied, perhaps due to Brexit increasing the fees for European students to those from other foreign countries. Fewer than 10% of the undergraduate body are domiciled overseas. Nonetheless, applications are numerous, and the quality is high. The average grade of a successful applicant is now 2.7 A* at A-level. I doubt I would have got into Caius against the current cohort. The examination results this year were also delayed due to the marking boycott and the informal rankings were not available at the time of writing, but it seemed highly likely that Caius would be comfortably among the top ten Colleges for 2023.

The postgraduate community both in the College and the wider University is thriving. Postgraduates now make up nearly 50% of students at Cambridge. Caius is below that average as only some 30% of our students are postgraduates (including a good number of clinical medics). The tutorial team have been reinforced by the appointment of Dr Melissa Calaresu as Deputy Senior Tutor who has overall responsibility for postgraduates. She is working on a strategy for postgraduates.

Caius has a duty to maintain and improve the fabric of our wonderful heritage buildings. The Gate of Virtue has been beautifully conserved in the past year thanks to a major donation. We have also added to the city centre site with a significant purchase of the remainder of Rose Crescent, thus creating a block of land bordered by Trinity Street,

Rose Crescent, Green Street and Market Hill which will be the focus of our strategic efforts over the next ten years or so.

It has been another excellent year of philanthropy from the Caius community. Donations, pledges and legacies have been plentiful. We owe a great debt of gratitude to everyone who has so generously supported the College mission in education, religion, learning and research. The Development and Alumni Relations Office have organised many excellent events. We had a lively evening at Apax London, thanks to Stephen and Sally Dyson. For the first time in four years, I have been able to visit Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong. We also enjoyed the company of Caians in San Francisco and New York. The inaugural Family Day at Harvey Court in September went extremely well with Caians bringing children and grandchildren to enjoy the gardens, a treasure hunt and some face painting. It is always a treat to meet Caians around the world. We can reminisce over how much Caius remains essentially the same but also explain how life as a student has changed.

The College has continued to provide increasing support for students. That ranges from financial assistance to ease the cost-of-living pressures, co-curricular academic grants (for example to purchase software or books) and extra-curricular grants. Fifty students received Bell-Wade Awards to support their participation in 24 sports from rowing, athletics and rugby union, to climbing, dance sport and ultimate frisbee. Twenty-eight awards were made to help with the costs of undertaking a summer internship or research placement over the Long Vacation. Seventy-four students who had well thought-out plans to travel during the long vacation and who would not be able to travel without receiving financial assistance from the College were assisted.

The Caius Fellowship is extraordinary. I only recount a little of the breadth and depth of their successes this year. The Precentor, Mathew Martin, composed a carol sung at the King’s College Christmas Eve Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols. Professor Rob Miller was praised by the King at the opening of the new research facility at the Whittle Laboratory. Professor Alex Routh has worked on the College’s plan to ‘degasify’ the estate, speaking eloquently about the challenges involved in this at the Benefactors’ Day in June. Professor Patrick Chinnery was announced as the new Executive Chair of the Medical Research Council (MRC) from October 2023. Professor Sujit Sivasundaram was elected Fellow of British Academy. Professor Christine Holt was a joint recipient of the Brain Prize 2023, the world’s largest award for outstanding contributions to neuroscience.

The Caius students continue to display a vast array of talent. A Caian was Editor of Varsity in Lent Term. The men’s cricket team, led by double blue Samir Sardana, won the cricket Cuppers. The Caius Boat Club rows on magnificently. There were nine Caians rowing in Cambridge University boats, contributing to the clean sweep on the tideway in the spring. The men’s first eight continued their dominance of the Mays, with the first women magnificent in remaining at second. We thank Dr Jimmy Altham and Mr

Martin Wade for their stalwart support of CBC, as they hand over to Dr Melissa Calaresu and George Budden. A production of Handel’s Rodelinda was put on in the Bateman Auditorium with excellent Caian performances in singing and playing. The choir sang for Peter Tranchell’s 100th Memorial concert at St Paul’s Kensington. Their recording of Phillips and Dering Motets has had rave reviews. Caius men a capella group entertained us at College Concerts and after Annual Gatherings, now joined by the Gonville Girls. A friendly rivalry ensures excellent standard.

I seem to spend my life chairing or attending committees. I am responsible for fifteen Caius committees. I have also acquired quite a few more as the Colleges interact between themselves and in relation to the University. My two-year stint as Chair of the Colleges’ Committee commenced on 1 October 2022. As well as being chair of the selection committee for the new Vice-Chancellor, I also chaired the appointment of a new professor in international commercial litigation and arbitration for the Law Faculty. It was a delight to be working with my colleagues in private international law. On a frivolous note, I find myself as Senior Treasurer of the University’s Horse Racing Society. A day out at the races is a great antidote to living in the very centre of Cambridge. The visitors from around the world were back in large numbers over the past year. There is only so much repetition of false information on the history of Cambridge broadcast by the tour guides to slow-moving crowds that anyone can stand. My youngest daughter has flown the nest to UCL, following her parents’ footsteps in reading law. I will not be free of children, though, as my first grandchild is due to arrive in December.

The Chapel

Revd Dr Megan Daffern writes:

As Acting Dean for the academic year, it was a real pleasure to belong to the College community and lead the Chapel community this year, while the Dean was on sabbatical. Holding things steady for the year has been a privilege; knowing it could all be put down to ‘that Acting Dean’ who allowed some innovation while maintaining the inherited.

Services in Chapel have continued to recover post-Covid. The return of Sunday dinner to Hall in the Lent Term in the former Evensong-drinks-dinner pattern was a joyous occasion, marked in celebration by the Choir singing Charles Wood’s Oculi Omnium. At the same time, our Copper Kettle visits after the morning Eucharist have been continuing, though Sunday Brunch remains to be reinstated.

As the 2019 pandemic generation has seen their third year out, the College has remembered how special the Chapel’s offering can be to the wider community: as a gathering place, a space for quiet reflection or thoughts inspired by worship, or an opportunity to hear our superb choir. In the best Anglican tradition, spirituality and music have been intertwined with hospitality. Some of our liturgical occasions are listed below in ‘From the Registers’. In them, our team of ministers, musicians, and wonderful Chapel Clerks have together contributed to some beautiful worship and encounter with the Divine Other. The theme of hospitality has reached beyond the refreshment of food and drink to appreciative encounters with others across the College.

A mildly experimental year like this has enabled us, after one term of the usual The Everything Discussion Society (TEDS) talks given by a single speaker, to digress for two terms into After Dinner Conversations. Literally just that, on three occasions in Lent and two in Easter, between five and seven mini-talks have been given by a panel encompassing the major constituencies of the College – members of all three Common Rooms, Alumni, and Staff – bringing a breadth of different approaches to a single subject. Topics ranged from ‘Perfection’ to ‘Communication’ and the meetings/gatherings allowed different voices to be heard and held together with respect and delight. Just as Chapel gathers and invites attentive listening to the Other, each other, and one’s soul, so such conversations reflected our attentiveness gathered in a different context.

We were able to share gifts we enjoy in Chapel with a wider audience in April as the Chapel Choir, music staff, and I as Acting Dean spent some time in Cirencester, centred

around the Radio 3 live broadcast of Choral Evensong. Without transgressing on the Precentor’s patch here, the standard of the music in Chapel throughout this year has been truly remarkable. Vespers as a necessary liturgical alternative during lockdown seasons reverted to Choral Evensong most Tuesdays in the Lent Term, with a smattering of Choral Compline services, which were well-received by the wider College, and allowed more variety of musical settings without losing the Caius genius of beautifully performed plainchant. Special Sunday evening services for Epiphany, Lent and Passiontide, and to mark the Coronation of King Charles III, all provided opportunities for the Choir to perform a broad choral repertoire suitable to the liturgical context. Throughout the year, singing and hearing music directed by our Precentor Matthew Martin on a regular basis has been an honour that few choirs and chapels could realistically expect.

As Acting Dean, I have has endeavoured to remain true to the Dean’s style this year while thoroughly also being herself inspired by the Chapel and the College, which have been communities of welcome and delight of which it has been a true joy to be a part.

My grateful thanks go to the Precentor, the Chapel Administrator, the Dean’s Vicar, the Chapel Clerks, and all those who have contributed in any way to our life together. More broadly, we appreciate our staff colleagues who keep us safe, warm, fed, enabled to learn, surrounded by beauty, and by all means supported, often in unseen ways. The Fellowship has offered both fun and erudite companionship, as well as genuine interest in the Hebrew Bible (enough to prompt Psalm 133 to come to my mind now). Finally, and above all, I want to thank the many Caians who have become friends this year. This time with you has been a precious gift in so many ways. I am profoundly grateful to Cally and all of you who entrusted this to me. Thank you. Floreat Collegium de Gonville et Caius

The Choir

(96 - 107)

Matthew Martin, Precentor, writes:

The beginning of Michaelmas 2022 hailed the start of an exciting period for the Choir. Having successfully completed our critically acclaimed recording of Philips & Dering Motets (Linn) in July, the group came back to Caius to celebrate with alumni at two Annual Gatherings. Chapel services commenced on 4 October: the start of a busy year.

We were fortunate to welcome the Reverend Dr Megan Daffern as Acting Dean for the whole the academic year while the Reverend Dr Cally Hammond took some well-earned sabbatical leave. We are grateful to Megan for her support and interest in the choir.

A particular highlight of the Michaelmas term was the Commemoration Service for the life of Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Chris Chivers, a friend of the late archbishop, gave an illuminating address and the Choir and congregation celebrated with song and reflection, even joining in for the South African national anthem at the end. Having now had the opportunity to develop a deeper relationship with that country, I was personally moved by this act of remembrance of one of Africa’s most honoured sons.

Scott Tutor for Admissions & Outreach

Other memorable moments in Michaelmas included a joint Choral Vespers with the Choir of Clare College and a concert in London to celebrate the life and work of Peter Tranchell (Fellow 1960-93 and Precentor, 1962-1989). The latter was held in St Paul’s, Knightsbridge on 26 November and marked the centenary of Peter’s birth in 1922. Several groups joined together to perform a selection of his works, including some choir alumni (formed into a small ‘consort’ for the event) and, of course, Caius Choir. Perhaps an underrated figure in present times, the evening served as a reminder for all present of Peter’s considerable musical legacy and influence. The reception afterwards was an opportunity for many past members of the choir and College to reminisce and recall his caustic wit and various eccentricities, most of which are unrepeatable in these pages.

Phillips Domestic Bursar & Operations Director

Following on from the usual run of Christmas services and events at the close of 2022, Lent Term (2023) was kick-started by a performance of the Brahms Requiem in King’s College Chapel, performed jointly with the choirs of Claire, Jesus and Selwyn. Accompanied by the Cambridge University Orchestra (including a few of our Caius choral scholars as instrumentalists) and directed by Daniel Hyde, this was a memorable

and rare opportunity for the choir to experience one of the great nineteenth century choral masterpieces from the inside.

The annual BBC Radio 3 Choral Evensong slot is an important part of the choir’s year and, alongside our various recording projects, serves to help maintain the musical profile of the College beyond the walls. This year, the date fell in the break between the Lent and Easter Terms and we travelled to Cirencester Parish Church in Gloucestershire to broadcast live on 19 April and perform a concert on 21 April. Both events were packed, with the BBC service made up of music by Caius composers: Wood, Hadley, Tranchell, Webber, and Martin.

Much of our time during Full Term is spent rattling through a varied repertoire on rather limited rehearsal time. This is to ensure that the three regular weekly Chapel services are embellished with appropriate music, much of which is proper to the occasion or season. The Choir’s corporate sight-reading dramatically improves throughout the year as a result, which in turn enables us to tackle more challenging repertoire as the year progresses.

The broadcasts, tours and recordings benefit from a different approach: this is our opportunity to hone our skills and focus in greater detail for a particular (and usually highprofile) occasion. Events such as these are crucial in the yearly cycle and take the choir to new heights through meticulous preparation. These tools – both vocal and musical – percolate through into our principal function of providing regular musical worship in Caius during term-time. The high level of musicianship the students can achieve on the adrenaline of a carefully rehearsed live broadcast becomes the new bar and they often exceed their own expectations of themselves, feeding into the year ahead.

A testament to that approach of careful preparation for high-profile projects can be heard in the recent recording of Philips and Dering Motets, mentioned earlier. To quote Gramophone Magazine: ‘… marvelously well-judged direction … everything seems fresh and vital … evidence of sheer musical fun’. This is what we aim for. The usual ‘Caius-style’ preparation pattern for such a recording project is to take the programme on tour (normally somewhere sunny) in the week prior to the sessions. Menorca was the chosen destination for preparations for the 2022 disc (as detailed in the last Caian) and this July we spent a week in Sweden for a similar period of rehearsals and concerts, culminating in the recording of our second disc for Linn Records in St John the Evangelist, Islington.

The first week of July was spent in Uppsala, where we sang a concert plus High Mass in the cavernous cathedral, with a further concert in Stockholm cathedral towards the end of the week. There was time for sightseeing also, and an opportunity for the students to soak up the atmosphere of a part of the world most (if not all) had never experienced before. By the end of the week, their minds having been kept focused by the extortionate price of the beer, we were in a good position to return to the UK for the London recording

sessions. This new disc is due for release in November 2024 and is a recording featuring twenty-first-century ‘Caian’ music. Watch this space for details …

The final event for mention here is our gala concert in the Pershore Abbey Organ Festival on September 29. This was part of a short series of concerts to inaugurate their new Ruffatti organ and involved the 2022/23 choir. At this concert we said goodbye to our Assistant Organist, Kyoko Canaway, but also welcomed Harrison Cole (coming to us from Trinity) into the same role for 2023-24. A full house received our programme of popular cathedral anthems with rapturous applause. We were extremely grateful to the community for hosting us and providing host accommodation. This was a great start to a busy year ahead which will culminate in our next recording project: the unfairly neglected Michael Haydn Requiem. This is due to take place in July 2024 in collaboration with the Academy of Ancient Music. More on that in the next Caian.

It only remains for me to thank my colleagues for all their help and support this past year. Particular mention should be made of our Acting Dean Megan Daffern and Dean Cally Hammond; and our indefatigable Chapel and Choir Administrator, Claire Wheeler, without whose support none of this would be possible.

The 2022-23 Caius choir comprised 22 singers: 14 Choral Scholars, 5 Graduate Choral Scholars and 3 volunteers. There were 8 sopranos, 4 altos, 4 tenors and 6 basses. The Senior Choral Exhibitioner was Laura Wood, and the Librarian was Robert Henderson

The Junior Combination Room (GCSU)

Natalia Emsley, JCR President, writes:

Starting in the post-pandemic period, the opportunities seemed endless for this Committee. And we did not hesitate to chase them. We re-established the undergraduate voice as one that is not only heard, but one that drives meaningful change. We also strengthened active participation in the Caius community by simultaneously offering more to our members and ensuring that no-one was left behind. It was a pleasure to be a part of such a rewarding experience as President alongside Layo Akinola as VicePresident. I would like to thank all the Officers and Co-opts on the Committee for their hard work and commitment to improving student life at Caius. I am also grateful to Julian Wood (MCR President) and Franz Fuchs (MCR Vice-President) for their tireless dedication and continuous support to the GCSU.

Work hard, play harder? The 2022-2023 social calendar was definitely one to beat. When the Caius Bar reopened in January 2022, there was a real buzz of excitement in College. This stimulated seemingly unbounded creativity that took our social spaces to the next level – quite literally when it came to the JCR, which underwent a much-needed, wellreceived refurb (even if the addition of a pool table was short-lived). Our ENTs Officers, Ellie Ridley, Krystian Bialoskorski and Nicole Davis, revitalised ENTs through swaps, bops, karaoke nights and more. And we benefited from an endless stream of themed formals thanks to the Food & Bar Officers, Aniruddh Prabhu and Aroun Kalyana. The new Caius Open Mic Society ran a series of extremely popular Open Mic Nights. Our Pink Week was also a huge success.

We took welfare seriously too and our Welfare Officers and Women’s & Non-Binary Officer enjoyed remarkable success this year. This included Tirza Sey’s implementation of the Sunflower Scheme and Caius Compliments, whereby students could request handwritten messages to be placed in friends’ pidges, as well as Ellie Bevis’s work to provide free menstrual products across College.

Another of the Committee’s main goals was to be the voice for all students. It was this support that drove forward the Student Flag Day system. Up to six student-nominated flags can be flown each calendar year, provided that the number of student votes meets the threshold and College Council approval is obtained. In addition, the Progress Pride Flag will fly on the first and last days of February and June to celebrate LGBT+ History Month and LGBT+ Pride Month.

Our BME Officer, Mahnoor Syed, was a strong advocate for the BME community and organised events, most notably the BME Formal, which has since inspired the creation of further opportunities for Caians to interact.

With a new Committee also came a new housing ballot. RIP RoomCaius! Our Housing Officer, Sol Clarke, worked hard to ensure the seamless transition to the new system. Our housing work did not stop there, however. Our International Officer, Tanai Chotanaphuti, also successfully arranged additional free storage space for international students over vacations.

Additionally, the year saw changes to the composition of the Committee, accompanying amendments to the Constitution aiming to increase the accessibility and transparency of our work. We added an Academic Officer just to remind us that we are in Cambridge: Holly Goodrick took on various responsibilities, including liaising with the Development Office to work on an alumni networks project and inspire future student-alumni events. I was also fortunate to be involved in academic projects myself, especially acting as quizmaster and selecting our University Challenge team!

The Committee also engaged with College sports. We ran two Brasenose-Caius Sports Days (the first in Cambridge, the second in Oxford), continuing the annual tradition of Caians competing against our sister College counterparts. In addition, our Sports Officer, Sam Bojarski, helped the College in enhancing the Harvey Court gym facilities. This success inspired the motion to upgrade the role to Clubs and Societies Officer in order to promote sustained wider efforts to improve extracurricular opportunities.

Caius was arguably greener than ever this year, thanks to the hard work of our Green Officer, Clarissa Salmon. She made a significant impact both in Caius and Universitywide, from organising multiple Green Weeks and creating Greenbridge, to pushing for and promoting a variety of sustainability initiatives. She helped Caius earn a Platinum Colleges Award for the 2021-22 Green Impact year! This encouraged us to consider sustainability across all aspects of student life, for example, in the Library, where singleuse cups are now banned. Don’t worry though, with the GCSU’s introduction of a free hot drinks-making station in the basement, library-goers can now support both the planet and their bank accounts. Many thanks also to Layo for her help in the frequent Sainsbury’s runs required to restock the station!

In undertaking these various projects, we were highly conscious of our desire to make real impact. Following the pandemic, we wanted to reinstate the GCSU as a vital part of every student’s life, so that every member truly felt that the GCSU was representing and supporting them. This inspired the creation of our new JCR website over the summer. I am grateful to our Publicity Officer, Tom Powell, our Computing Officer, Amrit Gill, and our Secretary, Suchir Salhan, for their work in building the website and

for their support in producing the content. We hoped that the website would both prove a useful resource for current students and complement the outreach efforts of our Access Officer, Twm Aled, was tireless engaging with an expanding body of prospective applicants. Further improving the College’s accessibility was the fantastic work of our Class Act Officer, Lauren Collins, who cooperated with the Cambridge Students’ Union on various campaigns and produced a Caius Class Act Guide!

A final highlight was Freshers’ Week 2022, organised by Layo, who previously held the role of Freshers’ Rep. It was great to see the efforts and enthusiasm of the GCSU being appreciated by a new intake of Caians.

The GCSU could not have done any of this without our Secretary, Suchir Salhan, who organised our meetings and elections, and our Treasurer, Edmond Bruce, who oversaw our budget. They really kept the GCSU running! I also thank Layo for her support and commitment, as well as her weekly newsletters!

Being a part of the GCSU has been such a rewarding experience. We were able to celebrate what we had achieved at our annual Handover Dinner, as we also wished the best to the next year’s Committee, led by Isaac Mellis-Glynn.

I am deeply grateful to every member of the Committee and to every member of the wider College community, from students to staff and Fellows, for helping us turn our visions into reality. The GCSU 2022-2023 was simply amazing!

The Middle Combination Room (GCSU)

Tejas Rao, MCR President, writes:

As readers may be aware, the Caius MCR elects new personnel a few weeks earlier than the JCR, with a new Committee in place by 1 February each year. This report therefore reflects on the activities of the 2023-2024 MCR Committee.

We aim to promote and protect the welfare of all postgraduate students, while prioritising postgraduate access, building alumni relationships, and ensuring greater accessibility. We have been able to make progress in each area.

We are grateful to Karen Ball, our new Domestic Bursar, and her staff, with whom we have developed a close working relationship. This resulted in conversations on recycling in postgraduate housing in Harvey Road and elsewhere. It also led to the move of the Harvey Road MCR from the basement of 6 Harvey Road to a step-free location to ensure it is accessible to all. We were impressed by the College’s sensitivity to this need and to ensuring that nobody is rendered invisible.

We also thank Dr Maša Amatt, Linda Hanssler, and Callia Kirkham, who welcomed our desire to work with the Development Office. This has fostered a stronger postgraduate community and network. Alumni are now always welcome to join us for Thursday evening Port Nights and to attend the MCR Research Day: both have now been included in the Young Alumni Programme.

We have also contacted previous MCR Committees. It was a pleasure to speak recently with James McGuire, the first Caius MCR President, to understand better the earlier history of the MCR in Caius. We are also grateful to the Development Office for their focus on postgraduate fundraising, which means so much as research funding comes under threat.

Community is at the heart of our enterprise. At the start of each term a ‘refreshers’ week has allowed for connection between incoming and incumbent students, in addition to a large freshers’ fortnight at the start of the academic year – a real highlight of being at Caius, enabling students to settle-in before coursework commences. Members of minority communities within the MCR, including Women, BME, LGBTQ+, and International students have been able to enjoy building safe spaces, while we have also seen a larger, closer range of engagements between the MCR and the SCR through the ongoing programme of MCR-SCR Talks, the MCR Research Day, Students Dining on High Table, and Fellows Dining in the Gallery. A new feature this year that the MCR has been able to ‘borrow’ periodicals from the SCR. Postgraduates thus now receive physical copies of all journals subscribed to by the Fellowship, albeit slightly delayed, expanding the horizons of our reading. The traditional formal ‘swaps’ with postgraduates from other Colleges enable Caians to visit other Colleges and give

students across Cambridge ( and indeed, our ‘sister’ College, Brasenose in Oxford) the opportunity to experience one of our fine, themed Superhalls.

Of course, as our Tutors and Supervisors remind us, among all this merriment, there is work to be done during our time here. Every Thursday, we now host ‘Write Here, Write Now’, offering an opportunity to complete research and writing work in groups, with tea, coffee, and cookies for encouragement. We have also introduced a ‘Shelfairy’ bookshelf in the Harvey Road MCR to complement our existing ‘Welfairy’ cookie delivery service, allowing postgraduates to access a range of self-help and welfare books to encourage them along their journey.

None of these ideas would have been possible without the support of the College. For this we offer thanks to Robert Gardiner, Karen Ball, Martin May, Karen Heslop, Kieran Hinson, Tim Lee, Andrew Gair, Phil Brett, Ricardo Soares, Laura Webb, Revd Dr Megan Daffern, Revd Dr Cally Hammond, Dr Maša Amatt, Linda Hanssler, Callia Kirkham, Matt McGeehan, Chloe Applin, Emily Callow, Esme Page, Tabitha Barker, Jane Howson, Louise Coomber, and Becky Rutter, and all of their colleagues. The time, care, and effort they all put into making being a Caian such a pleasurable experience is much appreciated.

We would also like to thank the President, Peter Robinson, for his support and the Master, Pippa Rogerson, for her kind, considered leadership and thoughtful pragmatism. Pippa arrived at Caius as a postgraduate, and her empathy has made Caius home for all of us, no matter how short or long our stays here. The burden of decision-making is not an easy one to bear, and we have been inspired by her compassion and patience.

We are also grateful to Dr Andrew Spencer, Dr Melissa Calaresu, Dr Rebecca Sugden and all postgraduate Tutors. Their advice has been invaluable in orienting us to serve the community better. Their advice at difficult points and their guidance throughout is invaluable.

I have just been re-elected as MCR President and am looking forward to collaborating with other continuing members and with our new Vice-Presidents, Nikita and Jess. I look forward to reporting back next year. Meanwhile, please visit us if you are ever in Cambridge or keep in touch via email at mcr.president@cai.cam.ac.uk. We would love to hear from you.

Amalgamated Clubs and Societies 2022-23

Allotment Society

Gonville and Caius Allotment Society meet weekly to tend to the allotments situated in the K-Block lawn in Harvey Court gardens. In our second year we had 15 regular members, a strong following online and have now started to see bountiful returns on our plants. We are a relaxed society and aim to create a calm space with the allotment and a strong community.

This year we have tried new socials, including pumpkin carving and an end of year picnic, where we enjoyed some of our produce!

With the plants, this year we focused on enriching the soil which just a year ago had been lawn. We sieved stones out and turned through lots of compost, raising the beds, then made use of companion planting to help our plants thrive. One addition was 56 strawberry plants to our fruit patch, which meant we were eating strawberries the whole way through exam season. Visitors to the allotment will see a thriving ecosystem including food like courgettes and peas, and visiting wildlife like butterflies, bees, and ladybirds.

We have some exciting events planned, including a trip to the College orchard. We are also expanding, adding a new bed to grow even more exciting plants! When we get back for Michaelmas, the autumn crops will be ready, including beans, potatoes, onions, garlic, and tomatoes. Hopefully our sunflowers, which reached 10-foot-tall last year, will be even taller and have more flowers this year, they have already reached six feet!

Badminton Club

Caius Badminton represents the College in the University Badminton leagues. We have three teams: two in the open league and another in the Women’s league. We run regular training sessions for team members to practise playing together. The league is partially a doubles format, and this allows us to get used to playing with particular partners. We have more casual sessions which are also attended by people who are interested in playing badminton and perhaps later representing one of our teams. The

players are mixed around during the year to give us the best chances while allowing as many interested members to play as possible. This year we have also continued building on the socials we started last year, including some with the other rackets sports represented in College. We have had a bar crawl and a bowling social with the other racket teams in College, along with a picnic and a barbeque.

Our Stash Officer organised a very popular order this year, providing members with an opportunity to get some cool team shirts, as well as hats, hoodies, shorts, fleeces, and sweatshirts.

This year we have had mixed seasons. Our women’s team managed to carry on their strong performance from last year, dominating the entire women’s league in both Michaelmas, and in Lent terms. The second team also strung together strong performances and were promoted in Lent. Our open first team did not have such good fortune. Having suffered a particularly bad Michaelmas Term, which saw them relegated from division three, they then powered through division four, to finish a comfortable second and return back to division three for next year. We made a strong return to Cuppers this year, finishing second in our group behind a very strong Johns team.

Our incoming team of captains have some exciting plans for the next academic year. A new, earlier training time on Sunday mornings is hoped to attract better attendance next year and subsequently help us build up a stronger team. The new women’s captain is hoping to continue the successes of our current women’s team by attracting many freshers at freshers’ fair in October. We also have some strong players returning from their year abroad, and I am hopeful Caius will become a force to be reckoned with in the league.

We also hope to continue organising socials, which have proved very popular this year. Within the College rackets community, we have suggested a mini sports tournament, such as table tennis, which many are keen to make happen. Our inter-college socials have also been successful this year, helping form a strong team bond while keeping the league friendly and enjoyable. The new captains are keen to arrange more socials next year, either with Pembroke and Magdalene, as in past years, or with new colleges.

Basketball

Caius Basketball Society is a joint basketball club with Clare College. We cater to all skills, ages, and genders, and compete against other colleges in the College Basketball League. We are currently in the third division out of five. I (Faiz) am the current cocaptain, president and treasurer. Alan Mathews was the Clare College co-captain this year, and the role is transferring to Harry Ford. One thing that stands out about basketball at Caius is that we are a mixed-gender team. Few College teams are or publicise that they are. I implemented this, two years into my role as captain, and it has been a great success, with lots of interest from Caius and Clare basketball players. We have a few players from both the University Men’s and Women’s second teams. I am proud that this policy of inclusiveness will continue after I step down from my role as captain next year.

This year was a tough one for Caius Basketball. Though we managed to avoid relegation in Michaelmas, we got demoted to Division three in Lent, and got knocked out in the first round of Cuppers. This was due to a few factors, but mainly the unavailability of courts in Michaelmas due to repairs in Kelsey Kerridge, with most replacement courts far from the centre. This led to fluctuating attendance, which made it difficult to build on plays and group synergy. For some of the matches in Lent, there was poor coordination and organisation, leading to an attendance of only four players for two matches; even though we were equal (if not better) in skill, we were significantly disadvantaged in stamina. On the bright side, we had a significant influx of freshers, though this tapered off by Lent. Most players were satisfied with the quality of training provided and whenever we got on court, we had a good time!

Continuing from last year, I implemented training regimes to focus on individual skill development of all our players, with a view to rapidly improving beginners – one of our beginners from last year was even offered a place on the University Women’s second team! We collaborated with some new college teams, such as Christ’s, Girton, Jesus, and King’s, in friendly scrimmages and shared training.

The big news for the 2023-24 academic year is that we are pursuing sponsorship from Lounge, an app ‘for university clubs and societies to get organised now that people (particularly new freshers) aren’t using Facebook’. Hopefully this will allow us to organise more team events to improve group coordination including nights out, bowling, etc. and perhaps, secure some stash. We might need some new equipment as well since some of the basketballs are exhibiting signs of wear. The courts at Kelsey Kerridge will be fully operational, making it easier for freshers to attend which they will be informed of at our stand during freshers’ fair).

Board Game Society

The Board Game Society was started in October 2013 and has approximately 20 members in College, predominately now in the JCR community. Every week we will get around eight to 12 members turning up to play games from 7pm to 11pm; we also hold an all-day board games event at the end of each term. We normally play a shorter game to start such as Coup, Avalon, or Decrypto, then a longer game such as Betrayal at the House on the Hill, Blood Rage, or Colt Express. We are a casual gaming society that welcomes anyone who wishes to play, regardless of prior board gaming experience, and try to make sure different types of board games are played each week to suit everyone’s preferences. On top, some weeks have a theme, such as dice, deck builders and classic board games. The board game society currently owns 51 games.

Many of our members graduated in 2022, so the turnout was lower this year. Our members are now mostly freshers. There was a much-appreciated revival of our Root activities in Easter term, encouraging us to keep it on next year.

Boat Club

Caius Boat Club (CBC), first rowed on the Cam in 1827. Our main aims throughout the year are to compete and succeed in the Bumps competitions held in Lent and Mays term where through four days of carnage, rankings are readjusted before being held from year to year. CBC boasts one of the most successful boat clubs on the Cam, with our men’s first VIII at Second and Head (First) on the river in Lents and Mays respectively; and our women’s first VIII Sixth and Second. With a great community that stretches back through the years of competition and success, strong links to the university teams, and top of the range facilities with our boathouse and boats, CBC is both a great community of people and a force to be reckoned with on the river.

This year saw a fantastically successful year for the boat club, with results from both the men and the women showing the strength and depth of the squads.

Michaelmas brought about a new set of novices and with it, success. After a strong showing at Qergs (Queens’ Indoor Rowing Competition), with NM1 coming second overall, and NW1 coming fifth, the crews took to the water. NW1 came out the blocks flying with a victory at Emma Sprints, with NM1 coming second, followed by Clare regatta where both NW1 and NM2 both brought home their respective wins. At their last hurrah as novices the Fairbairn Cup was fertile hunting ground, with a first and second place in their respective divisions for NM1 and NM2 and both NW1 and NW2 both coming third, dominance was assured.

On the women’s side successes came early with a semi-final exit against a strong Jesus crew for the first four in University fours, and a secure win by the second four. Fairbairns continued this show, with W1 coming a close fourth, with W2 coming third and a

strong showing by W3 ensured their victory. On to Lent Bumps! W1 had a strong start but after an unlucky bump on day 4 ended level, W2 had a tough field and ended up one down after rowing over the last few days, W3 had a phenomenal bumps campaign bumping every day, and W4 were the fastest non-qualifying crew.

Mays brought about new opportunities which were seized at every turn. W1 bumped up to head on the first day before having a tough bump against a very strong Jesus crew. W2 had some good rows but unfortunately got spoons, W3 once again bladed, and W4 rowed over twice before ending down two.

The senior men had a successful year, starting with a strong showing in the University IVs by the second and third IV, with the pinnacle of the Michaelmas season a victory for M1at Fairbairns by 11 seconds, the first victory in the Fairbairns Cup for over 10 years, and a dominant performance by the M2, beating many of the M1 crews.

Lents brought a successful term of races after a tough camp, with Head-to-Head and Pembroke regatta both yielding narrow losses to LMBC, and a dominant performance for M2, winning the Head-to-Head and a narrow loss in the finals, and M3 making it to the quarter finals of Pembroke regatta.

Lents brought a successful term of races after a tough camp. Head-to-Head saw M1 clinch a narrow second and M2 produce a dominant performance beating many M1s as well as winning their division. Newnham head was next with M1 once again getting silver, with M2 winning and M3 beating many M2s who had entered. Pembroke regatta saw both M1 and M2 narrowly lose to the eventual winners, while M3 made it to the quarter finals. Finally, Lents was on, with M1 rowing over in second after making whistles but narrowly missing the bump, M2 had a fantastic finish to their season, dominating the field and gaining four bumps in the three days in which rowing was possible to earn both blades and the first time that the Caius M2 has been in the first division since 2005. M3 had a well fought campaign, nearly getting an overbump but finishing down one.

Mays saw the return of the triallists and sun, with success from the beginning from both the top four in both Spring head-to-head and X-Press head, and M2 dominating throughout the term. Mays itself saw M1 row over imperiously at the head of the river, and M2 make it into division one Mays for the first time in 15 years, rowing the course a total of seven times! M3 had a tough campaign against strong M2 competitions, ending level, and M4, the MCR boat who had formed that term, had an outstanding season, ending up plus three after having got on to bumps!

A special mention must also go to the triallists who competed in fours Head, Trial VIIIs, various fixtures, and of course the Boat Race Weekend itself. On the women’s side, Carys Earl represented Cambridge in Blondie and at BUCS in a single, while Lucy

Harvard was one half of the successful spare pair. On the men’s side, George Hawkswell, Cameron Mackenzie and Reef Boericke all raced in Goldie, with Reef going on to represent Cambridge at Henley in the PA cup, Dan Toy was part of the winning spare pair after a successful season and Matt Francis raced at both fours Head and Trial VIIs as part of a successful first season of trialling.

In other news, this year we saw a significant changing of the guard with one who has been truly dedicated to the club. Jimmy Altham (Fellow since 1965) after many years of dedication and success as Senior Treasurer to Caius has stepped down and will be sorely missed by all at the club. We hope he still comes down to the bank party at races as he has done so amazingly over the past years.

We also saw George Budden (Management Studies 1984) succeed the fantastic Martin Wade (Law 1962) as President of the Caius Boat Club. George, a former Caian and member of a headship M1 crew himself has got stuck straight in and is setting up great promise for the future of the club!

Looking Ahead to 2023-24

Looking to the next season we have exciting opportunities in both Lents and Mays, with a potential three headships to be won by the end of the year. We are looking to gain Lents headship and retain mays headship on the men’s side, and to bump Jesus and retain headship with the women’s side. Furthermore, a camp during the holidays is looking almost certain with exciting opportunities to get some great training under our belts and looking forward to welcoming a new class of novices into Caius starting with our famous freshers BBQ!

Brooke Society

The Brooke Society is the College’s History society. Its aims are to foster a sense of community among Caius historians and inspire further interest in the subject. Every year we hold a number of talks by guest historians both from inside the University and from outside. Several social events are also organised as well as the annual society dinner. All students taking History, History and Politics and History and Modern Languages are automatically admitted as members at the beginning of their first year. The same applies for postgraduate historians. Although the society’s social events are limited to the history cohort, speaker events are open to all. These talks are regularly attended by students and fellows from related subjects, such as HSPS, Economics, Art History, ASNAC and Classics.

On Tuesday 8 November 2022, Dr Chloe Kattar of Darwin College, Cambridge gave a talk on The political philosophy of Charles Malik. Later that month, Prof David Carpenter of King’s College, London gave a talk titled Henry III, Westminster Abbey and the Coronation on Thursday 24 November 2022. The Society held a Christmas drinks reception on Tuesday 29 November 2022 and the new year saw the annual Brooke Society Dinner on Thursday 2 February 2023. On Monday 13 February 2023, Dr Christian Faraday of Caius College gave the talk What can the Tudors teach us about art history? The Society hosted In conversation with Professor Sir Richard Evans (former Regius Professor of History at Cambridge) on Friday 24 February 2023. The Brooke Society celebrated the end of term with a garden party was held on Tuesday 20 June 2023.

Since Covid, the turnout for Brooke Society events had dwindled. However, in 2022-23, we managed to increase attendance, with each of our speaker events being attended by at least 20 people, with some garnering crowds of 40-50. Our primary aim for the coming academic year is to capitalise upon this increased turnout and bring the

Caius History community closer together. To achieve this, we plan to hold more social events, in addition to the usual Christmas Drinks, Society Dinner and May Week Garden Party. We also plan to further increase our turnout to speaker events by continuing to advertise them to the wider university.

Caius Medical Society

The Caius Medical Society is a student-run society that comprises of Caian medics throughout their six years of study. Our society plays a crucial role in enhancing the medical student experience and fostering an immense sense of community. We host many talks for our current students, aimed at deepening their knowledge of the field and providing advice on how to approach and tackle the course. Improving access to Medicine in Cambridge is an important part of our activities. We organise engaging talks for prospective medical students, intending to demystify the application process. We also host a summer access event to provide aspiring medics with firsthand experience of studying at Caius. Recognising the importance of comprehensive resources, we gather high scoring essays and well-made notes from Caius medics and share them directly via our Moodle page for use by all Caius medics. To foster inter-year connections, we host various social events where students from different stages of their medical education can come together and meet. Talks, sessions and support include:

1. Preparing for Tripos Talk

2. What to Expect at Clinical School Talk

3. Part II Options Talk

4. Preparing for IB Tripos Talk

5. Preparing for IA Tripos Talk

6. Subject Revision Sessions

7. Caius MedSoc Moodle Page

We were excited to host the second iteration of our Access Residential last summer. Around 20 prospective applicants from disadvantaged backgrounds will be invited to stay at Harvey Court for three days, with accommodation and food to pay for, and will listen to talks about the various aspects of Medicine at Cambridge and the application process, as well as getting time to explore the city and life as a student. This, we hope, will very much encourage these students to apply to Cambridge (and hopefully Caius!) to study Medicine.

We are eager to continue to develop our academic resources and talks to further satisfy our intellectual curiosity. Furthermore, we have plans to introduce new talks prior to holidays, focusing on guiding students to optimise their time during these breaks effectively. These informative sessions will provide strategies and advice for making the most of their holiday periods. We look forwards to increasing the frequency of social and welfare events to further improve our sense of community and the mutual support that all medics give each other. We also look forward to implementing further access events in term time, such as through online video-conference software, to be able to reach a larger population of prospective applicants with information to support the process.

Cricket Club

Gonville & Caius Cricket Club (GCCC) has traditionally been one of the most closelyknit college teams in Cambridge, revolving around an encouraging and supportive culture. Our team caters to players of all abilities, ranging from University Blues standard to individuals trying the sport for the first time! With a dedicated squad of over 25 members, our first XI participates in organised fixtures including friendlies, touring matches, and the intercollegiate Cuppers tournament. As a team, we have enjoyed our cricket this year, sharing successes on the field, with our camaraderie extending off the field also.

The Club Captain of GCCC this year was Rajapriyian Murugaiyan (Medicine 2019), supported by the President/Vice-captain Alex Mair (Classics 2021). Committee handover will take place over the summer vacation period, with Alex Mair set to take on the captaincy role.

Continuing our strong run in Cuppers in recent years, we are proud to announce Gonville & Caius as the Cuppers champions this year! Building on from reaching consecutive semi-finals in the past two years, we showcased our passion and determination, with nail-biting wins going down to the final ball against Downing and St Edmunds’ in the semi-final and final respectively, held at Fenner’s Cricket Ground. We came up against some fantastic teams this year but had important contributions from the whole team as we brought Cuppers back to Caius for the first time in ten years. Finals day represented a special end to the season for GCCC, with plenty of Caians turning up to show their support.

Aside from Cuppers action, we engaged in longer games compared to the Twenty20 format of Cuppers, against numerous touring sides: The Apothecaries & Artists CC, Racing Club CC, and Lord Gnome’s CC. We also managed to organise friendlies against other colleges early in the season. Some of our members have also had success representing University teams this season and we are proud to have exciting talent to help support and develop newer players.

GCCC can expect another promising season in the 2023-24 academic year, despite many of our members graduating this year. We will look to maintain our strong ethos as we welcome the new freshers, recruiting and rebuilding before representing Gonville & Caius in Cuppers again. We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the GCSU for their continued support along with Mark Ward, our groundsman. The funding that we receive from the GCSU is always instrumental in purchasing club kit and equipment, as well as booking winter nets for training. Cricket is not known as being the most accessible sport for everyone due to the equipment required for training and matches, so we appreciate the funding the club receives, allowing us to remove some of the barriers for individuals wanting to get involved in the sport and we hope to continue this next year.

Feminism & Gender Society

FemGen is Caius’ feminism and gender society, open to all genders and sexualities. At our events you can expect discussions, book reviews, creative activities and lots of snacks, all revolving around different important themes each week. In 2022 we distributed menstrual cups to those in College who requested one, and this is something we hope to continue as new students come to Caius. If you would like to get more involved, please apply to be part of the committee! Follow us on Instagram (caiusfemgen) for more info and to look at our highlights from the years.

Looking ahead into the next academic year: we are going to continue the free menstrual cup campaign, as the feedback for this was so positive. Over the past year, the creative nights (tote bag decorating, gingerbread house making) were very popular, as well as the Cheese and Wine book review session. We will be sure to continue these. FemGen will also continue to help in the celebrations for International Women’s Day and Pink Week, by working alongside other Caians to raise money and awareness.

Football: Gonville & Caius and Hughes Hall Women’s and Non-Binary Football Club

Gonville & Caius and Hughes Hall Women’s and Non-Binary Football Club (CUGHES) is a joint football team for the colleges of Gonville & Caius and Hughes Hall, although this year we also merged with St Catharine’s College. The club is open to new members of all abilities every year, and annually at the Freshers’ Fair, many new Caius students enjoy giving football a go and getting a taste for the game. This year, the team has competed within both the Cuppers competition and division one of the College Football League. The team trains once a week and plays a match at the weekend during Michaelmas and Lent terms, with a more casual routine during Easter term during the lead up to exams. This year, approximately ten Caians have been involved in a match or training session, with an additional ten players involved from St Catharine’s. Widening participation from Hughes Hall is a key aim for the 2022-23 academic year and this is aimed to be achieved by attending the Hughes Hall fresher’s fair. There is a great community spirit within the team, and it helps to broaden interactions across the College with players undergraduate and postgraduate players. As well as this, the club provides an opportunity for aspiring referees to increase their experience at different footballing levels. The club has its own football shirt, shared with the men’s side, and every year there is an annual order of personalised football shirts – something that is loved by all the club members!

In Cuppers, unfortunately, due to a lack of experienced players this year, we lost more games than we won. However, we managed to stay in division one without conceding any games. We played round one in Cuppers against Peterhouse, Clare and Clare Hall and lost 5-2 to them.

In the League, we played in division one with Christ’s, Churchill, Lucy Cavendish Fitzwilliam, Corpus Christi, Jesus, Emmanuel, Trinity Hall, Peterhouse, Clare and Clare Hall Colleges. We came in fourth place in the division, with three points from one win and eight losses.

We hope to encourage as many new and existing Caians as possible to get involved with the football club during the new academic year. This year the number of Caians dropped significantly due to old members graduating. We will try to gather more people at the Freshers’ Fair next year and provide more taster sessions.

We will continue to provide weekly training sessions to new players to ensure they feel comfortable in the game environment and ensure they are given an opportunity to learn and develop their football kills. Many players have never played football before so providing training sessions is vital to ensuring the success of the team. Both Yichen and Holly play for the University second team and so have ample experience in providing training exercises of the correct standard. A major aim for the next academic year is to

continue participation from Hughes Hall and St Catharine’s. This year we had no players from Hughes Hall, but luckily there are many keen players from St Catharine’s. We will attend the Freshers’ Fair at Hughes Hall to promote more players joining the club. We intend to plan more social events outside of the weekly training sessions and matches to ensure that team spirit is as high as possible. This will help to increases interactions across different year groups within the colleges, as there is a vast mix of players across the team. This can be extended to encouraging more social events with the men’s football team too.

Football: Association Football Club

Gonville & Caius Football Club is one of the main sport clubs at the College, with three men’s teams, and a women’s and non-binary team, granting access to footballers of all abilities and identities. The club has always emphasised inclusiveness and having fun, and so all the men’s teams, regardless of ability, have always trained together to foster a close-knit and friendly community. Furthermore, we run many socials throughout the year, which helps many club members feel welcomed and part of an adaptable wider community without feeling pressured to play football every weekend.

In Cuppers, the men’s first team were knocked out by eventual winners Fitzwilliam after a strong first display, earning a replay. The men’s second team were knocked out by St Catharine’s seconds and the men’s third team were knocked out by Fitzwilliam thirds.

Meanwhile, the men’s first team finished fifth out of ten in the premier league, the men’s second team finished first out of eleven in division four and the men’s third team finished third out of ten in division five.

As President I look forward to welcoming next year’s new members and continuing to support the close community of the club, whilst (hopefully) having more success in the cup competitions. We also aim to run a few events to get more people involved in College football and imbedded into a welcoming footballing community.

Hockey Club

Gonville and Caius enter a team twinned with Girton into the College Hockey League, which is run by the University Hockey Club. The league is mixed gender, seven-a-side, and everyone with experience of playing hockey at any level is welcome to play in our College team on a weekly basis. College league takes place throughout Michaelmas and Lent, with one or two matches a week and every Sunday. There are two divisions in the league and Caius has been a competitive team throughout. Cuppers features full eleven-a-side hockey and takes place in Lent and Easter terms in a knock-out format.

In Easter term 2023 Caius reached the quarterfinals of Cuppers. An unfortunate string of injuries and other commitments meant that we were missing our full-strength team in this round and were knocked out (prematurely, we would argue!) We are currently pursuing sponsorship for the team.

Looking ahead to 2023-2024, Caius is looking to regain its position competing in the first division of the College League, which we unfortunately lost in Lent of 2023. With players in the Caius-Girton team who have played for the University Blues, Caius is looking to be competitive in Cuppers and push past the quarterfinals, with our eyes on the prize of winning Cuppers.

Ben Wheatcroft was Captain.

Lacrosse Club

Caius/Kings Lacrosse play in the Mixed Lacrosse League across Michaelmas and Lent terms and in the Cuppers Tournament at Easter.

It has been a strong year for the Caius/Kings Lacrosse Team. In 2021-22 we were struggling to put a team out and having to forfeit some of the matches. However last year, we encouraged and promoted lacrosse, established a good team and managed to get promoted to division two in Lent 2022.

We had a further proactive drive for new players at the start of 2022-23, maintained a good strong team membership and were promoted to division one after coming top of the table in division two and in Lent we maintained our position in division one. Most of the team are Caius players, which is great.

In the Cuppers Tournament it was a tough group. We won against St Catharine’s and Christ’s and drew against Pembroke, Selwyn, Clare and Homerton so we finished second in the group. It was a very close match in the quarter finals but unfortunately, we lost to Emmanuel 4-3.

Looking ahead to 2023-24, we hope to maintain our position in division one, continue to grow the club and encourage all abilities to come and have a go. We will have another proactive drive for new players and offer taster session at the start of term before the weekly matches start. We are in the process of selecting a captain for 2023-24.

2022-23 Captain was Hannah Taylor

Law Society

Gonville and Caius Law Society comprises all Caius Law students from freshers to postgraduate students, as well as other Caius students who have an interest in the law and potential career paths within it. We host a variety of events including socials at the start of every term, networking events with different law firms as well as the Annual Law Dinner

after Easter Term examinations. In 2022-23, we are planning to increase the range of events we host to keep attendees engaged: for example, a Christmas party, barrister talks and speaker events regarding alternative career paths accessible with a Law degree.

The Law Society have enjoyed a number of events and accomplishments including a Freshers Introduction Panel, drinks at the beginning at the end of term. We also held Law firm events such as Slaughter and May networking an HSF Evening event and a Barrister talk. The Society enjoyed week five ‘pick me ups’, the Sir William McNair Moot and the Annual GCLS Dinner.

In 2023-24 we plan to hold elections for the roles of Secretary and Treasurer in Michaelmas 2023. This will give all Caius students the opportunity to engage with the society and become actively involved in the event organisation. We may decide to expand the GCLS committee and create new roles to ensure everyone has an opportunity to contribute to these events.

Our ongoing aim is to provide more opportunities for a diverse range of skills and interests, especially moving away from the current focus on becoming a commercial solicitor. We also expect to expand our membership to students who have not decided to study Law.

Music Society

Gonville and Caius Music Society is at the heart of extra-curricular music at Caius and has long been successful in providing spaces for both the performance and enjoyment of music and across the College. We are a student-led organisation, receiving a generous annual budget, and run a variety of events. Termly concerts and other performances, including the weekly recital series, continue to run and are well-attended by College members and others alike.

The highlight of the society’s offering for the 2022-23 academic year was its Easter-term production of Rodelinda, which saw opera’s long-awaited return to the College and was well-received by all, with a sold-out final night.

A recent concert consisted of Mahler’s Blumine, Mozart’s Symphony No. 29, excerpts from Rodelinda and a set of popular music given by the Caius Men. The weekly recitals series proved popular and featured a variety of instruments and styles.

Looking ahead to next year, we are excited to continue running regular recitals and concerts as well as another opera and hopefully to reinstate the Caius May Week Show.

Natural Sciences Society

All Natural Sciences undergraduates at Caius are part of the Natural Sciences Society. The Society helps to bring together scientists who specialise in different areas of science, and so may have no cause to interact without it. We aim to foster a friendly and welcoming community of like-minded individuals, who can support each other, for example, those in upper years offering advice about modules to those in lower years. We pride ourselves on holding a range of events throughout the year to give students a well-deserved break from the busy NatSci schedule. The highlight of our calendar is ‘NatSci Dinner’ in Lent Term, which brings students and Fellows together for a three-course meal in Hall.

We began the year by holding our traditional Pizza Night, to welcome the freshers, in early Michaelmas. With the help of the Conference Office, we were able to hold this in the Old Courts JCR. Also in Michaelmas, we took part in a pub crawl with NatSci societies from other colleges, which was a great way to get to know new people. We were delighted to be able to attend a formal at Sidney Sussex College and hope to return the favour by having their NatSci society come to Caius in the next academic year.

The Annual Dinner in Lent term was a resounding success, with a good time had by all. Professor Malcolm Longair was our Guest of Honour and discussed the importance of an interdisciplinarity approach to science. Due to the very generous contributions made by our Directors of Studies and various other science Fellows at Caius, student meals were fully subsidised.

In 2023-24, we hope to diversify the Society by reaching out to Postgraduate students. It has also been suggested that we set up ‘NatSci Families’ in order to further integrate those in different Parts of the Tripos. In addition, although the focus will remain on the Annual Dinner, we hope to introduce more social events throughout the year, such as bowling trips, which will appeal more to students who do not drink than the usual pub crawls. Next year’s Committee will be decided upon over the summer.

Netball Club

Ours is a casual, fun netball club for all abilities. We play two weekly matches, one ladies’ match and one mixed with occasional trainings and socials! We had great fun playing Cuppers but did not place. We plan to continue the fun and social atmosphere next year, as the new captains take over.

Captains: Emma Mortimer and Ellie Ridley

Next year’s Captains: Lara Cort and Ellen Chelberg

Open Mic Society

The purpose of Caius Open Mic Society is to organise regular free live music events within the College, open to members of the University to attend and perform. 2022-23 was the Society’s inaugural year. We organised eight events, first at the College Underbar, then at the Harvey Court JCR. We held four shows in Michaelmas, three in Lent, and one in Easter. The shows were two hours long, and featured an average of eight acts, from both Caius and other colleges. Types of acts include live music, stand-up and spoken word. Our final show of the year featured a band from St George’s University London. Due to its popularity, the event became a free ticketed event to control numbers. However, this did not deter our audience, with each show selling out. We produced eight shows throughout the year and set up a social media account, which has amassed over 24,000 views and 418 followers @caiusopenmic on Instagram.

A Varsity article published on 22 October, described the event as ‘90 minutes of glee’. They wrote: ‘In its inaugural night, the new Caius Open Mic night has set a high standard while also retaining its pledge to inclusivity’. Read the full article here: www.varsity.co.uk/music/24410

Looking ahead to 2023-2024, with Alicia going on her year abroad, our first objective is to recruit someone to fill her roll. We plan to recruit a few more logistic officers at the Caius Freshers’ Fair. Our ambition is to grow the reputation of Caius Open Mic, with the intention of becoming the University’s leading free open mic event. We aim to invite more acts from other universities across the country to come and perform. We aim to have ten shows throughout the year with four in Michaelmas and Lent, and two in Easter. As Founder and President, I aim to ensure that after I graduate, Caius Open Mic continues to be the popular live music event that we have managed to become within Cambridge University.

Rugby

Club

The Gonville & Caius Rugby Club has a rich and success-filled history. For most of the club’s members, the 2021-22 season is one that exemplifies that history – with the team consistently performing at the highest level before narrowly missing out in the plate final of Cuppers. In this way, the 2022-23 season was always going to be one that chased the shadow left by the previous years’ accomplishments. Such a pressure was only compounded by the departure of several senior players that had been the backbone of a strong and close-knit team. The newly elected committee for the 2022-

23 season, Jonny Gathercole (captain), Fozy Ahmed (vice-captain), and Luke Maxwell (chairman), were all part of the successes of the previous year and, in spite of the departing members, sought to continue the prestige for which the club is known.

The hope for a strong season was, however, dependent on an influx of several new and committed players. Fortunately, new recruits from both first and second year seamlessly slotted into the ageing cohort. Importantly, bringing with them an ambition and desire that was sure to propel the club into a strong season. It was largely dependent on the commitment of these new members that GCRUFC remained a serious player in the college rugby circuit. As is the case with any season, however, a team is ultimately judged on their Cuppers run. Hence, cutting a long, and at times unfortunate, story short, literal last-minute tries and penalty shootouts meant the team’s run in Cuppers was underwhelming – leaving the success of the previous year as an unobtainable and distant memory.

That said, all those involved with the team, young and old, recognise this season as one filled with glimpses and flickers of that rich and successful history for which the team is known. In the 2023-24 season, the focus is on turning those flickers into flames.

Of course, tournament and league successes are often a focal point of any season’s report. In seasons that lack those successes, though, it is perhaps easier to appreciate what the most important features of a club like ours are. In fact, consideration of these features of our rugby club can be exemplified in no better way than through the annual Old Boys fixture. In true testament to the importance of this game to old and current boys alike, this game was the only time in the 2022-23 season that a rugby game was played at the Barton Road grounds due to challenging weather. Ignoring the limitations of great British weather, however, around thirty former Caius students returned to Barton

Road to remind the current boys why the GCRUFC history is as strong as it is. And after a gruelling 80 minutes, the game ended with the old boys narrowly taking victory.

Above all, the Old Boys fixture demonstrates why it is that being part of the Gonville & Caius Rugby Club is about so much more than the on-pitch successes of individual seasons: when players return for the Old Boys game, they do not come back to relish in the memory of their Cuppers triumphs, they come back to see the aspect of the club that makes it such a special thing to be a part of, the people. So, while the 2022-23 season has been one that will not be remembered for blazing Cuppers glory, it will be remembered for the group of friends that came together and played the sport they love for a club that they will always be a part of.

Shadwell Society

The Shadwell Society is an arts funding society that operates from within Caius but plays a crucial role in University’s wider artistic community. The Shadwell Society continues to be key in producing theatre, films, open mic nights and art instillations, as well as a range of other exciting projects. Shadwell offers and encourages the unique opportunity for Caius and Cambridge students to express themselves in new mediums not traditionally supported by other established societies. This support manifests not only financially but also practically. As the society has grown, we have been successful in creating roles that work directly with creators in order to aid them with the practical side of production in order to push our projects further and help less experienced students.

Slowly but surely, Cambridge Theatre is recovering from the effects of the pandemic. A large focus of our year on committee was to re-establish The Shadwell Society’s role in the Cambridge theatre community and reorganise the society’s structure by collecting funds that were still lingering from the disarray of the Covid years. Although a large focus of our time was on the reestablishment of the society, we were still successful in producing interesting and exciting projects this year. For the first time the Shadwell Society took a show beyond Cambridge taking Caius student Gaia Mondadori’s one woman show, Fake it Till you Make it, to the Edinburgh Fringe. We hope this inspires other students to make use of the society by showing its altitudinous potential to enhance creative pursuits. The possibility of providing support for more artistic projects is more optimistic than ever. We have succeeded in establishing a more stable platform to continue with our theatrical pursuits and expanding into other realms like performance art and opera amongst others!

The creative scene in Caius has a bright future! Collaboration will be the key to enhancing that future even further. Members of the Shadwell Society were key in establishing the new greatly successful Caius Open Mic Society (COMS). Forming a closer formal relationship between Shadwell and COMS will be a huge opportunity to expand both societies, which in turn will continue to nurture the new opportunities for creative expression in Caius.

Squash Club

Caius Squash is a long-standing and enthusiastic club which brings together players of all levels in casual weekly sessions to learn from one another and up their game. Training runs throughout the entire year (including exam season!) giving Caians a well-deserved chance to get the blood pumping and let off some steam. We also participate in all inter-college leagues and competitions and are one of only a handful of colleges with multiple squash teams– a great tribute to the attitude and commitment of our players.

In the college leagues, Caius 1 had a good Michaelmas Term, holding their own in the middle of the pack of Division 1; unfortunately, in Lent, a meteoric rise from Queens and a comeback from Jesus ended with a demotion for next year. Caius 2 also suffered a demotion from Division 4 but had many great matchups and close calls.

In cuppers this year, both teams played well but were knocked out in the group stage; Caius 1 went down to a strong Fitz side and Caius 2 had an unlucky matchup against Queens, the current overall league champions. Despite these results, all players put up a good fight against largely more experienced teams and did an admirable job of representing Caius squash.

The squash club also participated in various socials with the Caius Badminton and Tennis clubs, including bowling and a barbeque, maintaining a long-standing friendly and welcoming network between the racquet sports at Caius. This year we were also fortunately able to invest in new solid, quality communal squash gear for the club; this will be great for beginner players in future years as well as Caians making casual use of the courts. Looking ahead to the 2023-24 season, the stage is set for a great comeback in the leagues, hopefully backed up by an enthusiastic cohort of freshers alongside our regular players.

Captain: Oliver Pitman

Treasurer: Aditya Varshney

Tennis Club

Caius tennis has had a good year, starting strong in Michaelmas retaining its place in both the first and third divisions by the first and second team respectively. Lent term was tougher with both the first and second teams demoted, however, I am confident that we can regain our lost ground next year. Cuppers was equally difficult, this year we joined with Darwin College to bolster our numbers. In the first round we faced and were unfortunately beaten by Jesus College. In other news we were lucky to have a new logo drawn by one of our own, Daisy Cox a second-year classicist. Looking forward to the next year, I will be replaced by William Morley and Sam Raine-Jenkins as captain of the club. They are excellent players, and I am confident they will lead the club well through the next year!

Thundercatz:

Ultimate Frisbee

The New Thundercatz Ultimate Frisbee team is the Cambridge University College League team for St Catharine’s, Gonville & Caius, Hughes Hall, Fitzwilliam, Trinity Hall, Lucy Cavendish and St Edmund’s. We have a weekly training and fixture against another team, with a termly Cuppers event to round off each season. The League is semi-competitive with a high emphasis on team spirit and fair play. Currently, we have around 25 active members of the society from multiple colleges. Our team emphasises cultivating good team spirit and being inclusive of players of all levels.

For the Indoor Cuppers event in Michaelmas Term, new Thundercatz split into two teams. Both teams reached their respective semi-finals, but sadly both lost their respective matches at this point, resulting in an extremely fun and interesting Thundercatz vs Thundercatz play-off for third place.

For Outdoor Cuppers in Easter, we decided to only enter one team, and with a strong turnout and great performances from everyone, we were able to win every game we played and take home the first Thundercatz Cuppers victory in its history. The excellent development of players through College League to the University Team really helped win Cuppers, for which we take pride in.

New Thundercatz have continued to grow in skill over the past year, with many members now playing for both the College and University teams. We placed second in Division 1 for Michaelmas term, only narrowly losing out to an incredibly strong newly added team comprised of players from the town team. Lent Term saw a shaky start but a strong finish, ending up third out of six. Finally, we once again won in Easter term, which was a great way to end the year combined with our Cuppers victory.

Other than developing our team’s technical skills through games and trainings, we also regularly organise socials such as formals, barbecues, and brunches to build team spirit off the pitch!

Unfortunately, with the passing of this year, all the original founding members of 2019 have now graduated, although some continue to play occasionally for us. A new generation of frisbee players have taken the mantle and continue to recruit and inspire all the Thundercatz. Player development has progressed as expected, with most of our players playing with the University development and match squads as well as with Thundercatz in the College League. We aim to introduce many more players to the sport over the coming years from Freshers fairs.

The Senior Bursar’s Report 2022-23

Robert Gardiner, Senior Bursar, writes:

Introduction

Pressures and Opportunities

It was good to have a year which was untroubled by the pandemic. College group events had even more delight than before the pandemic.

The financial and operational effects of Covid lingered, though, joined by energy price jumps caused by the war in Ukraine. Inflation now dominates the College’s finances, increasing prices for what we do while we have limited ability to increase our income. The fee for regulated UK students has scarcely moved in 10 years. If it had kept up with inflation, our income would be £0.7m p.a. more.

However, the year also brought an unexpected opportunity. We were able to buy an important piece of land in central Cambridge. It brings enormous, long-term strategic estates opportunities for the College and is the subject of a separate article.

The other significant bursarial development in the year was the recruitment of Ms Karen Ball to the post of Domestic Bursar. She joined from the University of Sheffield and has rapidly assimilated the features, needs and ways of the College and its domestic operations.

Living within our means?

‘Do we?’, to ask the question posed by our Examiners of Accounts. I fear the current answer is ‘scarcely’ because of severe underlying issues within the University sector. The day I finished the 2023-24 budget, The Guardian ran the headline ‘Funding Model for UK Higher Education is “Broken”, say University VCs’. I agree. The immediate financial effect is a badly deficit-making budget for this year, as is happening all around Cambridge. The immediate educational effect was a pay dispute and would-be graduands only being ‘congratulated’ on finishing studies with no exam marks: something structurally has to change.

Commentary on the Accounts

The appendix shows an abridged version of our published accounts as drawn up in the required ‘Recommended Cambridge College Accounts’ format. They are not an easy or transparent read! The narrative below attempts to highlight some key points.

Robert Gardiner Senior Bursar

Nicolas Simcik Arese DoS in Architecture

Education – Academic fee income – £4.1m; academic expenditure – £9.1m 90% of our undergraduates were on the regulated ‘home’ fee. As stated above, if inflation increases had been applied, our income would be £0.7m p.a. higher. As it is, the ever-increasing deficit on the education account must be covered by the endowment. Fortunately, postgraduate fees can rise with inflation, but we have a relatively smaller postgraduate community than many Colleges, so we benefit from that less than other colleges.

The College subsidises the education of its students substantially. Costs increased with cost of living pay rises, new posts needed to fill teaching gaps in various subjects, administrative support for the Tutorial Office, inflation in overheads supporting the education activities, but also additional postgraduate studentships. This last item is a strange artefact of accounting which requires recognition of the cost of all years of a studentship in the year they are offered. It is not an immediate cash cost; it unwinds over several years and it seems an unfair presentational requirement to look like we are deepening our deficit when we are supporting students out of restricted funds received for the purposes in previous years. It is wonderful, though, that we have been able to raise additional restricted funds for this student support, all the way up to supporting students with fees for courses of PhD study, for example the new Lord Choudrey Scholarship.

On student support, it is worth noting that the Cambridge Bursary Scheme (CBS) was broadened to encompass a wider range of household incomes. The net cost of the CBS to the College was £249,000; much of this is supported by restricted donations.

Accommodation and catering – Residences, catering and conferences income –£6.6m; costs – £9.5m

We had normal student residence after the disrupted Covid years. Member catering nearly recovered to levels (adjusted for increases in student charges) experienced before Covid and the kitchen refurbishment. Recruitment challenges for front of house staff meant we struggled to reinstate six-days-a-week First and Formal Halls, but students appeared to enjoy a three-nights-a-week Cafeteria Hall. Conference income came back reasonably but at £1.1m was still only 60% of peak historic volumes.

The costs associated with the accommodation and catering activity do not normally move closely in step with the income because many costs are fixed. The main increase

in costs arose from pay rises to meet the cost of living and to attract and retain staff but the costs of running the buildings also increased, including utilities, insurance and repairs and maintenance.

The charts show the income and cost trend for residence and catering over several years. The pandemic effect on income is clear. So too, now, is the inflation of costs in the last two years.

Expenditure

Expenditure

Investment returns – income arising

£5.5m; £4.2m drawn for expenditure The draw-down budgeted to finance expenditure was based on a withdrawal percentage of 2.625% and amounted to £6.0m but it was reduced by unrestricted donations of £1.8m, so the final withdrawal was £4.2m.

Other expenditure – £5.7m

Other expenditure contains various diverse costs. There are investment management costs of £4.4m which covers the expense of managing a complex financial portfolio including private funds, and the heavy costs involved in managing a nearly £100m of directly held property including increased interest costs associated with the purchase of the new property in Rose Crescent/Market Hill (‘Agora’). This category also includes movements in the accounting measurements portfolio of pensions deficits, which are volatile and then there are other general and administrative costs including the time of various fellows, staff and costs of departmental functions which are not directly related to the education, catering, residence and conferencing activities of the College, including the costs of the Development Office.

Donations – £3.6m

The amount received from year to year can vary greatly depending on small numbers of high value gifts received, often associated with Caians generously remembering the College in their wills. Besides unrestricted gifts and endowments (£2.1m) which generally support the educational, research and other charitable purposes of the

College, we received substantial donations for general student support, support for undergraduates, teaching support and it was particularly helpful to receive £0.4m of support for postgraduates where funding is becoming harder and harder to find elsewhere in various areas of study.

University Contribution – £0.2m

The contribution transfers, across Cambridge, nearly £6m from richer to poorer colleges to reduce disparity of college wealth. The contribution is based on endowment ‘resource’ per student. Our contribution is the sixth largest and although our net endowment ranks slightly higher in size, we have a larger student body to support than some other well-resourced colleges.

Balance sheet

Endowment value – gross: £271m; net £251m; net gains £5.7m

Overview

The total investment return was +2.3% against a background of relatively difficult global markets and a UK property market which was soft. One financial portfolio performed well and exceeded the 70/30 global equities/government bonds benchmark starting point; the other was more disappointing. Against a property index of negative 18% our direct property portfolio performed remarkably well as we see the results flowing through of projects to obtain planning permission which have been a decade in the making. The received and contracted payments from those projects importantly allowed the ‘Agora’ acquisition, leaving only an additional bridge borrowing requirement in the meantime.

A review of the current and expected use of certain properties led to a reallocation of £9.5m of properties from the endowment to operational fixed assets.

The graph shows the progress of the endowment, after associated borrowings, towards the objective of £330m. The reallocation of the operational properties has marginally reduced progress.

Fixed assets – £145m

As well as the transfer of endowment properties used for operational purposes, the value increased from works in the year. The main projects were the conservation of Gate of Virtue which was generously funded by a donation received the previous year, further preparatory and enabling works in the planned refurbishment of A to F St Michael’s Court, and work on the JCR at Harvey Court to enable it to be used as a café, which has been very successful and popular with students and others using the

Sidgwick Site. Beyond that, work goes on year in, year out on a variety of larger and smaller refurbishments.

Current assets and liabilities, long term and pension liabilities

Beyond the other usual minor variations in the College’s current working capital requirements, its regular cash position has, as noted above, gone from being cash-rich to needing to borrow following the property purchase. Accordingly, the College owed £10m at the year-end under a new revolving credit facility.

The pensions position of the College, as measured for accounting purposes, improved marginally. A closed scheme for staff, the Cambridge Colleges Federated Pension Scheme, is still in deficit but the position on the multi-employer University Superannuation Scheme eased slightly and will ease substantially in the coming year with the conclusion of its much-improved 2023 valuation.

Reserves and trust funds – £383.2m

The endowment represents the investment of general unrestricted reserves which are not represented by other assets (e.g. operational buildings) and trust funds with specific purposes, for example bursaries, hardship, fellowship, scholarships and studentships and other student support purposes such as travel and prizes. The free reserves of nearly £140m are carried to generate support for charitable operations but also to see the organisation through difficulties. We are beset by difficulties: besieged by constrained income on one side and inflating costs on the other. We are having to use the reserves to shelter deficit budgets. As stated earlier, something must change.

Staff matters

The College would not function without its staff. I am indebted to them for their contribution to the successes of this last year. I must pay tribute to them, when faced with taking on a substantial additional piece of Cambridge property, for simply turning to and sorting it out for College use. They have been magnificent. Much of the management of that falls on the Domestic Bursar, and we had three of them during the year: Jennifer Phillips for the final months of her tenure, Mr Simon Hawkey who held the position as an interim and brought the skills from a long period served as the Domestic Bursar of Jesus College, and Karen Ball who joined us in March from Sheffield University as a permanent appointment.

Karen has thrown herself into the domestic affairs of the College. She has proven herself adept at understanding the ways of running Caus, our traditions, our staff and our students. I am also most pleased to have appointed a colleague with whom I have formed a most enjoyable and collaborative working relationship. Working with a person who can laugh when faced with both the funny and the challenging is key to the resilience which bursar roles require.

(96 - 107)

Dr Maša Amatt, Director of Development, writes:

The most important function of this report is to thank nearly 2,000 Caians whose immense generosity, just this year totalling £4.7m, makes such a difference to Caius. The effect of your generosity is evident in myriad ways. It enables us to support more undergraduate and postgraduate students through bursaries and scholarships; to facilitate students’ pursuit of co-curricular activities such as sport and music; and to help our vibrant Fellowship engage in teaching and research. Your donations also play a vital role in us being able both to maintain our architectural heritage and to provide a stimulating environment in which our community can thrive.

Precentor and Director of College Music, DoS in Music

This ‘normal year’ was filled with the customary reunion and events programme, as well as joyful gatherings with Caians further afield. On joining Caius in 2020 I had a list of new events to add to our programme. Naturally impatient, it was hard work waiting for better days, so I was overjoyed to dust it off this year. We are creating new opportunities for Caians to connect and reconnect, from more formal events to stopby-after-work informal ones. We are also adding a new twist to the regular Annual Gatherings: a 25th anniversary to which one single matriculation year is invited and at which partners are most warmly welcome.

The second of our London events was generously hosted by Sally (1990) and Steven Dyson (1995) at Apax Partners. The gathering focused on Caians who matriculated in the 1990s and the conversations that were stimulated by Miguel Nogales (1993) who conveyed an optimistic message about sustainable investing. Alongside these more structured events, we run a series of less formal after-work gatherings, the Caius Cocktails. Everyone is welcome and throughout 2022/23 we particularly enjoyed the hospitality of Demon & Wise at Throgmorton Street, courtesy of Rufus Grantham (1992).

The annual meeting of the Caius Foundation board was the start of our regular trip to the US. We enjoyed meeting many of you in San Francisco, as well as a convivial reception generously hosted by Heather Deixler (1999) at the Waterbar with magnificent views of the Bay Bridge in the April sunset. In New York we returned to the historic New York Yacht Club, courtesy of the Caius Foundation board. More details of news from the US are contained in the Foundation report below.

Professor Peter Robinson (1971) was ‘our man in Australia’ in the spring. Joining forces with his wife Sarah and Dr John Vallance (1985 Research Fellow), he hosted a Caian gathering at the State Library of New South Wales.

We returned to Asia on a couple of occasions over the summer. The Master visited Kuala Lumpur in early August. She delivered a lecture at Sunway University as part of the Jeffrey Cheah Distinguished Speakers series, and Patrick Helson (1985) kindly hosted a gathering for alumni at the Oversea Restaurant. In September the Master and I were delighted to return to Hong Kong for the first time since 2019. Thank you for the warmest of welcomes, and to our generous hosts: Arun Nigam (1964), for an iteration of the famous Nick Sallnow-Smith (1969) lunches at the Hong Kong Club; and Samir (1995) and Khem Thapa for a lovely alumni gathering at the Soho Club Hong Kong. We rounded off the year of overseas visits with a stop in Singapore. Siew Chua (1984) and Khai Meng Choy, and Mike (1990) and Elaine Syn pulled out all the stops again to create a wonderful event at the Sentosa Golf Club.

Closer to home, Omar Khwaja (1988) kindly hosted the local gathering in Zurich in November 2023 when the President and I visited both the German and French parts of Switzerland. On the occasion of the Choir tour to Sweden in early July, accompanied by the Deputy Director of Development, Richard Bethell (1981) generously hosted a lovely dinner after the concert in the Stockholm Cathedral. The President together with the Deputy Director returned in August to host Caian dinners in Zurich, courtesy of Samuel Zeemann (1989), and on Lake Geneva, with thanks to Jeremy Davies (1975).

The final new event for the year was the inaugural Family Day in September. The Harvey Court Gardens provided the perfect setting for a picnic as well as a Caiusthemed treasure hunt, mandatory bouncy castle and much more. This event is open to all Caians – alumni, Fellows, current students with families – and is a time to enjoy with friends in a relaxed setting. There have been more events since then and I shall include them in my 2023-24 report next year.

We always look forward to celebrating with you all that you have helped us achieve. We do it throughout the year in small and slightly bigger ways: the May Week Party and the Commemoration of Benefactors are very special occasions in the College calendar.

Just as we celebrate recent successes and positive impact of philanthropy on the College today, we also look forward. A very special way to look forward to future generations who will come and study at Caius is to leave a bequest in your will. In April we hosted the inaugural Edmund Gonville Society lunch to celebrate those who have chosen to include the College in their will. A gift in your will is extremely meaningful to us and we were grateful for the opportunity to thank you in person. We look forward to many more Edmund Gonville Society gatherings.

The Edmund Gonville Society lunches will also provide an opportunity to hear more about our Fellows’ research. At the inaugural occasion we were all buoyed up by Professor Kay-Tee Khaw’s recommendation of ‘cheese and wine are good for you’. The last remark is, of course, a bit tongue in cheek, but Professor Khaw’s talk was hugely interesting and shed new light on healthy ageing, which did involve both the cheese and the wine … in moderation!

Much of what we achieved over the past year would not have been possible without the support of the Development Advisory Group: William Vereker (1985; Chair), Chris Aylard (2002), Mark Damazer (1974), Sally Dyson (1990), Veryan Exelby (1991), David Hulbert (1969), Paul Kaiser (1991), Andrew Marsden (2008), Catherine Lister (1985), and Stephen Zinser (Parent). I am grateful for their commitment and sage advice every step of the way.

Over the past year, we have said goodbye to Guy Lawrenson and Sophie Court, and we welcomed Chloe Applin, Linda Hanssler and Lizzy Vogel to the team.

Chloe joined us in November 2022 in the new role of the Communications Assistant, shared with the Head of Communications and the Editor of The Caian. Chloe is also an author and illustrator of children’s books and is becoming an avid ceramicist.

Linda joined the team in January 2023 as the Deputy Development Director, succeeding Guy Lawrenson. Linda is passionate about the value of education, having worked internationally in teaching and diplomacy before moving to the UK a few years ago to work in Development at Murray Edwards College. She is delighted to see the lifechanging impact that Caius has on its students and is keen to explore meaningful ways to engage alumni so the relationship with the College community remains vibrant and strong. She loves to travel and visit art galleries but has increasingly developed a love of the outdoors, together with her two young boys. Having never tried rowing, she hopes to hit the water in 2024...

Lizzy joined Caius at the start of September 2023 as Engagement Assistant, following the promotion of Oliver Barlow to the Engagement Manager position. She comes to us from the development office at Sidney Sussex College where she also recently completed her BA in the History and Philosophy of Science (with a special interest in disease). Outside the office, she is keenly involved in the technical side of theatrical production and is enjoying being able to make the most of the choral, musical and theatrical worlds of Cambridge.

As always, if you are visiting Cambridge, please do call into Caius. A very warm welcome awaits you from me and the team. Our rooms are on P Staircase in Tree Court, and we look forward to meeting you.

This year has brought a few changes to the Caius Foundation. After nearly 25 years at the helm, John Lehman was elected Emeritus President, handing over the baton to Chris Hogbin. At the same time, Eva Strasburger was elected Emeritus Director. Both remain active members of the Board, unburdened of fiduciary responsibility.

Over the years, the Caius Foundation has approved grants in excess of $12m for the benefit of Caius. It has served as a focal point for visits by successive Masters, for whom Directors kindly hosted events. It was much the same this year, when we gathered again at the beautiful Library of the historic New York Yacht Club.

The Board plans to increase the number and variety of opportunities to gather Caians in the US throughout the year. We made our first attempt in the summer when Chris Hogbin and Clara Spera kindly hosted a small group at the performance of Hamlet under the aegis of

Shakespeare in the Park with pre-performance drinks at the Milling Room. Please do get in touch with the Caius Development team if you have ideas and suggestions for interesting and fun events to add, or if you would be interested in hosting an event in other parts of the US.

We owe a huge debt of gratitude to John Lehman for his deep commitment to the cause and leadership over the many years. Our Treasurer, James Hill, receives and acknowledges all the gifts that you make – thank you, James!

The Expansion of Caius

Radcliffe Court is the most important acquisition by the College since the nineteenth century

The following article comprises text and information supplied by The Senior Bursar, the Domestic Bursar, and the late Professor Christopher Brooke

During the past year, the Bursar became increasingly preoccupied. There were repeated meetings with a senior Fellow. There were many hushed conversations and notes sent back and forth. It seemed likely that a major property might become available on the other side of Trinity Street, opposite the Old Courts. The owner, it seemed, was willing to sell. After much anxious reflection, however, it was decided that purchasing the entire site, on both sides of Rose Crescent, would ‘spell certain ruin to the College.’ In the event, only the part around St Michael’s Church was purchased and became St Michael’s Court, bounded on the Rose Crescent side by the Aston Webb building.

Those deliberations took place in 1887-8. The Bursar was Mr Gross and the senior Fellow the then Tutor, and later Master, E S Roberts. Over the next century and a half, the College was able to acquire piecemeal numbers 1a to 6 on the other side of Rose Crescent, but there was no link between them and our houses on Green Street.

The situation changed dramatically in the autumn of 2022. The property that we did not yet own came to the market in a single parcel. Owned by a fund with institutional pension fund investors, 14-15 Market Hill, 16-18 Market Street and 7-11 Rose Crescent were for sale. What Caius failed to achieve in the 1800s now seemed possible.

Our Senior Bursar Robert Gardiner explains: ‘When land adjoining our existing property comes to the market, it merits investigation. When it is the last quarter of Rose Crescent which the College does not own, brings adjoining residential property, and the income justifies the price as an endowment investment out of proceeds of planned endowment transactions, then it merits purchase.’

In October 2022, marketing particulars were received. On 23 November, the College Council authorised negotiation, and we closed the transaction on the 20 February 2023.

The College’s professional advisers and the external members of our Investments Property Sub-Committee (IPSC): alumnus Stephen Barter (1975 Economics/Land Economy), seasoned property professional, Robert Houston and retained consultant Martyn Chase, were instrumental in driving the transaction throughout.

Their position was strengthened by the sound endowment policy pursued by Robert Gardiner and his predecessors. The cost was, of course, substantial. However, as Robert explains: ‘…the price … [was] marginally (c.3%) more than the independent valuation obtained. It is justified by the “marriage value” and “special purchaser” status of the College. The yield on the agreed purchase price, however, is well above the current percentage withdrawal rate on the endowment. The financing of the purchase price will be covered by short- and medium-term receipts from pre-existing contracted and planned sales within the property portfolio, i.e. the realisation of development gains and sales of other assets which do not suit our long-term investment requirements. The cash flow requirements are being bridged by borrowings which cost less than the yield on the investment.’

The picture above and the plan below give a good indication of what the College has gained. The residential part of the property, only part of which is visible here, currently provides accommodation for up to 30 students once vacated and nearly all have been deployed in that way already.

A significant part of the property and roughly 80% of its value comprises retail units. While there are dangers in investing too heavily in one property sector, this purchase has distinct benefits, for it brings the final quarter of Rose Crescent into College ownership, which enables us to manage the whole retail area to its overall benefit. As Robert points out: ‘The College has the staff, experience and expertise in managing retail, and we believe we can manage the risk of asset sector concentration, securing good income from it in the heart of a city which is still very highly regarded as a retail location.’

The property has a service exit into Green Street between existing Caius properties. As a service yard, it is not currently attractive. And there is a substantial underground garage area, serviced by a car lift that no longer works, as well other curious, unused spaces and spaces occupied by redundant plant.

Overall, however, the longer-term opportunities to redevelop and integrate the property into quality collegiate facilities, in the hands of an imaginative architect, are extremely exciting. Other colleges have tackled such developments to expand their central site footprints (Christ’s on King St, St John’s in Corfield Court, Trinity in Blue Boar Court, Jesus’s West Court development, and others in Oxford). There is ample space here which we can use for collegiate purposes which an investor such as the seller cannot readily turn into rented use.

As soon as the purchase was completed, we turned to planning short-term uses and pondering long-term strategies. On the endowment side of things, we have been managing the retail units, filling one vacant unit, letting other smaller available spaces to existing tenants elsewhere in the Crescent. We have got to know and manage the tenants acquired in a way which is easy to do as an on-site landlord rather than a remote, faceless institution, and to create good relations and communications, which is both good for our rents and also the retail environment of central Cambridge, where we now have 40 units.

As important was the task of refurbishing the available bed spaces in the residential part of the building for our students, which was transferred to the operational portfolio. This part

of the project was managed by Karen Ball, our excellent new Domestic Bursar. Karen joined Caius at the beginning of March 2023 and founded herself confronted with a huge task that was not even hinted at in her job description or interview.

She rose to the challenge magnificently. Collaborating with her operational teams (Accommodation, Housekeeping, IT, Estates and Maintenance, and Porters), she has overseen the full refurbishment of the flats and the communal areas. They commissioned electrical, fire safety and drainage surveys. They removed old noncompliant furniture, dozens of redundant TV aerials and long abandoned possessions, as well as a non-functional refuse chute.

Two thirds of the flats were re-roofed by the start of December 2023, with the final third to be done in 2024. New fire detection systems, CCTV, and intercom have been commissioned. Part of the underground carpark was even repurposed as a long vacation bicycle store.

The flats themselves were refurbished internally, with new floor coverings, redecoration, and new furniture. New locks have been fitted to the doors. The external walls were repainted in Caius blue, while the external benches were refurbished, and our gardeners planted up decorative containers.

By October, while half the spaces were ready to be occupied by Caius students, the remainder becoming ready in the following months. Feedback tells us that the students love being in the centre of Cambridge. From the beginning of 2024 all the flats will be occupied. While some work remains to be completed, Karen and her team can look back on a job well done.

Looking ahead…

Robert modestly says that he was the Senior Bursar lucky enough to be at the right place at the right time. Yet he, like his predecessors had been working the endowment properties hard for asset management opportunities and portfolio development. It was clear that various sums would emerge from this work and the College had begun to think about reinvestment. This was the perfect opportunity.

In the very intensive purchase process, Robert was supported by an exceptional range of talented individuals. These included Alison Stanley, Endowment Property Manager;

Andrew Gair, Estates Manager; Wendy Fox, Accommodation Manager; Penny Gibbs, Finance Manager; our external advisers on the IPSC; our agents and surveyors from Bidwells and KLM Retail and our lawyers from Mills & Reeve. All of them played a crucial role in ensuring our success.

During the sensitive preliminary stages of the project, the Senior Bursar gave it the code name Project Agora (marketplace in Ancient Greek) to ensure that few knew what he was up to. The name that we inherited with the purchase is Radcliffe Court, though no-one seems to know why. For now, that remains the name that we are using, though that too could be subject to ‘redevelopment’.

What is clear already is that the purchase has the potential to reinforce the ‘centre of gravity’ of the College in the heart of Cambridge. The existing buildings are neither wholly functional for collegiate use at present nor beautiful – though that depends on one’s view of ’60s Brutalism! Yet they offer long-term refurbishment or rebuilding opportunities to create a mid-twenty-first-century place of education, learning, religion and research.

We intend to report on progress in future issues of The Caian

The Conservation of Virtue

The three gates of Caius’s Old Courts, known for their Renaissance style and their symbolism, are the College’s one truly distinguishing architectural feature. The Gate of Humility was removed with the construction of Tree Court in 1868-70 and survives only as a replica placed between the Master’s Garden and the Bateman Auditorium in the 1970s. The Gate of Honour was extensively restored in 1958. The largest and most central gate, Virtue, saw little serious repair work since the end of the nineteenth century. In recognition of its importance and the imperilled nature of its stonework, the gate was repaired and conserved with a generous benefaction from Janice Hu (1992 Oriental Studies and Management Studies) in 2022.

A Brief History of the Caius Gates

By Professor Paul Binski (1975 History/History of Art, Fellow 1983-7, 1996- )

Before describing the conservation of Virtue, it may help to remember the history and significance of the gates as Dr Caius’s project. The College having been refounded in 1557, John Caius determined to extend and improve its buildings. His plan, put into effect from 1565 and incomplete at his death in 1573, was to make the heart of the College more modern and salubrious. Prior to this, as we know from Loggan’s excellent engraving (1688), the main entrance to the College was on the north-east side of Gonville Court, via a low arched passage resembling the main entrance to Pembroke College. Access required traversing the open sewer called Trinity Lane, or ‘Find Silver’ Lane as it was called.

In acquiring the necessary land to the south and east for his new foundation, John Caius thought like a physician. He decided to form a cleaner more ceremonious entrance from the high street (Trinity Street) via a garden and orchard, running westwards to the new main entrance set back from the street between a straight and narrow walled path. The old entrance remained. The main portal from this cordon sanitaire was the Gate of Virtue, Virtutis, and Caius Court was formed open and sunlit to the south.

Caius’s choice was a deliberate departure from the late-medieval fashion for fourtowered military-style street gates with aggressive displays of religious images and founders’ heraldry, as at St John’s, Trinity and Christ’s. Their aim, inspired by a quasimonastic contemptus mundi, was to distance and caution the townsfolk. Caius’s alternative was altogether more intellectual and reflective, and asserted a very different formal language, that of the Italian Renaissance and of architectural theorists such as Sebastiano Serlio. It uses heraldry, but on a smaller scale, and its imagery is not

obviously religious. Protectively set back from the city street, a certain courtly delicacy was in order. This was very much his own project: Caius, a man born modestly in the docks of Norwich who went on to Latinise his name from ‘Keys’, chose doorway or gate symbolism in part because of his name.

The garden entrance from the street he named Humilitatis, Humility, a solely Christian Virtue, indeed the root of all virtue. Its gate, of which we have old photographs in the College Archive, comprised a simple arch framed by Corinthian pilasters. By this time – presumably near the date of the construction of Caius Court itself from 1565 – the decision was taken to adopt largely classical not Gothic detailing. This mode had already been chosen for the new College seal, vital for the College’s business, and thus probably executed shortly after the refoundation in 1557. The silver seal matrix, probably made by a London goldsmith (perhaps Robert Trapps, who may also have made the College’s caduceus), shows the Annunciation with Gabriel and the Virgin Mary, set within a structure very similar to the Gate of Humility only with a conch above, and a carved feature with swags at the centre of the horizontal entablature. This is unlikely to be coincidence for Mary at the Annunciation was the embodiment of Humility.

Though a few Gothic arch forms are found on the main festive gates of Virtue and Honour, Caius pressed ahead with the new Italianate mode, which had been adopted earlier at the Tudor court. One aim of the scheme was to show off the classical orders, Doric, Ionic and Corinthian. The new main entrance, dedicated to Virtue, is a two-valved gate with secure rooms above accessible only from within the court, one of which, on the gate’s first floor formed some sort of strong room. We can still see the brackets that supported the hinges of the two doors, and the two round windows overlooking the passage within which were secreted little porters’ or janitors’ chambers, the Tudor equivalent of CCTV.

The Gate of Honour

The passage, physical and moral, via Virtue to Honour is entirely Roman pagan in origin, and while it was assimilated into Christian speculation, it was much more essentially humanist in nature. In the third century BC the Roman Consul Marcellus erected linked Temples to Virtue and Honour on the Via Appia in Rome. The path from Virtue to Honour was well known in humanist circles in northern Europe in Caius’s time, including authors whose books, published in Antwerp in the 1560s, seem to have provided the actual source for some of the ornaments on the gates. Architectural allegory was often used in Renaissance England to shape ideas, ‘edification’ actual and moral. Caius College’s new scheme was a prominent example.

When F. C. Powell (1925, Fellow 1930-93), undertook the restoration of the Gate of Honour in 1958, he comprehensively replaced the original stonework. Significant elements of this now form part of the rockery paths at K Block Harvey Court. As part of his work, he wrote a perceptive study of the Renaissance sources for the Gate of Honour, which drew attention to its debt to Serlio (see Biographical History, VII, pp. 534-40). According to the College Annals, John Caius dictated the general form of the Gate of Honour before his death in 1573, and it was built subsequently to the design of either the same architect as Virtue or of a second architect. Caius may well have approved the designs personally.

The contruction of the west side of Caius Court began in May 1565; the east or Gate of Virtue side was started in September 1565. At the May foundation ceremony Caius is reported to have said ‘Dico istud aedificium sapientiae’, (‘I declare that building to be “of wisdom”’ – i.e. it is the ‘Court of Wisdom’). He added that it was founded ‘in incrementis virtutis et literarum’, for the building up of virtues and learning (note that virtue comes before learning). The east side of the court did not initially include the Gate of Virtue: the gate has an inscription saying that John Caius raised it (posuit) in 1567 either to, or in the name of, Wisdom, sapientiae. The gate, however, is the Gate of Virtue, for Virtue is embedded in Wisdom and Wisdom dwells with good counsel and ‘witty inventions’ (eruditis cogitationibus) (Proverbs 8:12). The inscriptions on all the gates face the courts, not the streets: entrants to the College looked back towards Humilitatis to be greeted in turn by Virtutis; Sapientia faced the ‘Court of Wisdom’, as did Honoris. That meant that

The Gate of Virtue before and after conservation

The Gate of Humility now in the Master’s Garden and the inscription above the entrance arch

those leaving the College via Humility may also have been expected to adopt a suitably modest disposition to the outside world as well as the world within.

The Victories carved on what is now the Tree Court side adorn what had become the College’s entrance (John Caius’s name and arms are also on the inside not the outside of the gate). They represent Victory (a palm and wreath) and Plenty (a money bag and Horn of Plenty). But Victory and Plenty must be accompanied by Wisdom, represented by the head of the Goddess Minerva over the arch facing the Court of Wisdom. Humility, Virtue, Victory and Plenty combine with Wisdom to produce Honour.

Caius was a courtier, which is central to understanding the Gate of Virtue’s appearance. In 1564, Queen Elizabeth I visited Cambridge; a Fellow of Caius delivered a loyal address to her, and the female members of her entourage were accommodated in the old College. John Caius had already applied to her for a commission of protection for his planned works which had been granted for five years. He had been squirrelling stone for some time, including significant amounts from Ramsey Abbey, lately dissolved, and the commission gave him the first option on labour and materials.

In 1564 Elizabeth had also appointed a new master mason, Humfrey Lovell (d. 1585). It is striking that the Gate of Virtue, begun in 1567, seems to fit into the circle of Lovell’s work. In a letter to John Caius in London written by a Fellow, Henry Holland, in May 1569, reporting on progress. Holland said ‘Humfreye lookethe for his man this weeke without fayle’ (Biographical History, III, pp. 50-1). He continued: ‘Your gate is risen to the side of the courte v fote that is to the toppe of the wyndoe and on theother side to the thyrd jalm of the window. I trust the next weeke to have it levell round for the florr. Humfreye hathe more of these roghte layers and more than he can do to fynd them worke...’. The works were thus being managed by a man called Humfrey, towards the

end of Elizabeth’s five-year commission of protection. Holland’s reference to ‘your gate’ also shows that Caius was firmly behind it. Despite an apparent labour surplus at the time, it seems likely that the construction took three or four years.

Another reason for thinking that Lovell designed Virtue is that its elevations closely resemble those of Somerset House on the Strand in London, which was begun c. 1550 by Protector Somerset, who died in 1552. Several documents associate Lovell with Protector Somerset, and while we cannot be certain that Lovell was himself employed on this project, his burial in St Mary-le-Strand near Somerset House suggests he was a parishioner, presumably familiar with Protector Somerset’s work. Key to this is Mark Girouard’s observation that the facade of Somerset House as recorded in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries – before it was replaced – was similar to that of Virtue. Its entrance paired victories either side of an arch; its elevations were flat and quite plain, using circles and other geometrical motifs, with window mullions and proportions close to Virtue’s, although Somerset House was a grander, courtly building.

The simplest explanation is that Caius, based generally in London and very little in Cambridge, used professional architects, and that Queen Elizabeth allowed him to borrow her own mason Humfrey Lovell, who was the ‘Humfrey’ referred to in 1569. If so, Lovell and Caius would have been able to work out many of the details in London: not just the ‘programme’ of the Gates but their smaller features, such as the frontispieces on the east side pedestals of Virtue which are derived directly from a very well-known book published in Antwerp in 1564, Johannes Sambucus’s Emblemata. The gap between 1564 Antwerp – where a great print industry was based – and the raising of Virtue from 1567 is very slight: this was a modern and learned, slightly bookish scheme.

The Annals (pp. 189-90) are silent about Virtue and inexact about the authorship of Honour. They tell us that it was built in the ‘very form and likeness which Dr Caius, while he was alive, prescribed to the architect (Architectus)’, the architect being unnamed. Because Theodore Haveus, whose portrait hangs in the Panelled Combination Room, was credited by the Annals with the design of the sundial in Caius Court, as ‘an outstanding craftsman and a notable teacher of architecture’, it is generally assumed that he also designed Honour. But the Annals do not say this. Indeed, Haveus was primarily a carver, and Caius’s tomb, which he carved, was based upon a ‘plate’ or design which the College paid for without attributing it to Theodore. We might well ask whether he had the connections or skills needed to produce the whole building scheme.

It is a curious fact that the only surviving summary account we have for the building work between 1564 and 1573 (Annals, p. 186) mentions neither a master mason (i.e. architect) nor an on-site manager or their stipends and notes the cost of a single carver at only £7 4s., far too little for the nature of the works executed. It proves only that the College itself paid £1,834 for the essential domestic structures, not the inessential gates. It is possible that the gates were not accounted for by the Fellows but funded

directly by John Caius, acting as a Renaissance patron. That might explain why the Annals do not refer to Humfrey Lovell. Honour, the tomb of Caius and the chapel tower were accounted for by the Fellows separately (Annals, p. 187). Perhaps they had been unwilling to fund their Master’s ambitions, even though they had to pick up what remained of the bill after Caius was gone. Lovell, a significant figure based in London, disappeared from the record and Haveus, a less significant man but on site at the right moment (he also worked at Queens’), got the credit.

The history of the Gate of Virtue’s treatment after Caius’s day is obscure, but thanks to research in the College Archive by Caius student Nik Yazikov (2019 History of Art) we know that the first modern work was conducted by Rattee and Kett in the 1890s. An entry in the Gesta for 17 March 1899 records: ‘To accept Mr Kett’s estimate for the repair of the Gate of Virtue, and to charge the cost to the Bursar’s Book, of which £150 is to be charged to the past year’. The Caian vol. XI (1901-2, p. 57), claims that the ‘bad work’ on the Gate of Virtue ‘has been so carefully replaced by good stone in recent years’. Much of the original carved detail of Caius’s gate remained intact. Unfortunately, Virtue was neglected throughout the twentieth century, except for repairs to the tower in 1988-9.

Editor’s Note: the Path to Conservation

When Professor Binski (pictured left) returned to the College in the mid-1990s he took responsibility for ensuring that the College took due care of its heritage more generally. He also began to make photographic and other records of the increasingly worrying condition of the stonework at all levels of the Gate of Virtue, especially in the carved areas around the portals vulnerable to accidental damage and loss. Particularly concerning was damage to the small motifs with putti on the pedestals facing Tree Court, whose form was taken from frontispieces in Sambucus’s Emblemata of 1564.

Also notable was the bursting of one of the mask terminals on the cartouche crowning the entablature over the west portal, which, subsequent work has demonstrated, was original and also based on the same Netherlandish print culture, as for instance the wood engravings of Hans Vredeman de Vries in the 1560s. The cartouche, executed in several sections laid upon the top edge of the entablature, was taken down and will soon be replaced by a suitably carved replica, without which the original conception of the Gate would be lost.

The aim of the recent intervention has been to clean and preserve as much of the original masonry as possible while ensuring the future robustness of the Gate: this

has been conservation, not restoration. What began as a private benefaction by John Caius has been rescued by the beneficence of a modern donor, Janice Hu. As Professor Binski’s article has shown, the work conducted in 2022 has allowed us not only to have a better understanding of the patronage of John Caius but will also permit future generations to appreciate the beauty his patronage brought into being.

The intricate craftsmanship that the conservation required is described by Richard McCrone, master mason and founder of St Whites Stone Ltd of Laxton, Northamptonshire...

‘Right. Let’s go...! Enough is enough!’

I grabbed the sides of the steel ladder and planted my feet on the rungs…the heat was astonishing; the ladder and scaffold tubes were hot to the touch and the ground far

below was parched and brown. There was a shimmer of heat haze over the graceful cupolas and spires in front of me…the Caius flag now hanging limply from the Waterhouse building behind me.

I glanced one more time around to check that things were stowed away, lifts swept, and no errant tools left on ledges before we slowly descended the many lifts of scaffolding down into Caius Court.

We were now well into the full restoration and conservation of the Gate of Virtue. Numerous stone replacements had been sawn and carved and the stone cleaning trials about to commence. It was 19 July 2022 and 41 degrees. The unprecedented hot, dry weather was perfect for this job.

The project originated several years previously. We had been involved in renewing the Collyweston stone slate roofs through our sister specialist roofing company, Philip McCrone Builders Ltd. Then in 2015, as St White Stone Ltd, we completed the restoration of the stonework of the large hexagonal tower which adjoins the Gate of Virtue. Towards the end of this work, I had taken advantage of the existing scaffolding to photograph and detail most of the eroded stonework of the Gate of Virtue, which urgently needed major restoration.

In particular, the cartouche with its handed carved heads in profile and flower and fruit festoons hand cut in high relief had suffered extreme erosion, as had the window and carved console brackets above it and the dentilled cornice and gilded V-cut lettered frieze below it on the Caius Court side.

Much of the previous restoration of the mouldings and detailed stonework, possibly in the 1930s, had been with a cement-based mortar, coloured to blend into the surrounding stonework. The eroded delaminating stone had been chopped back until sound stone was found and then copper armature drilled and fixed into this, and the ‘plastic’ mortar repairs were built around this reinforcing in layers and shaped to the original mouldings with great skill. The repairs had lasted well but now the green of the copper wire was showing through and the incompatible hard mortar was being ‘let go’ by the softer

limestone underneath. Smothered by the impervious capping, the stone had continued to erode since it could no longer breathe through its pores as it normally would.

There were also many rusting ferrous fixings which were splitting the stone and general soiling of the whole façade with biological growth and grime, while sulphur pollution from past coal fires and traffic exhausts had created serious gypsum crusts. These had reacted with the calcium carbonate of the limestone and manifested themselves as black sooty deposits. If not removed, they would have continued to harm the stone beneath.

We had already replaced some moulded stonework including the cornice as part of the hexagonal tower project. I now carried out a fingertip survey to check for any loose or failing masonry which might pose a risk to students and Fellows below once the scaffold was struck. At the lower levels, there were no acute problems but the top pilastered pediment parapet with the small carved finials was another matter.

Some of these finials were replacements in Ketton stone from a relatively recent restoration, possibly in the last 30 years, but others were the originals carved from King’s Cliffe or Weldon limestone which had proved to be very durable despite being a fine-grained, soft stone which cuts beautifully under the chisel and is perfect for carving. To my horror, as I put my hand on one of these finials it came straight off in my hand with almost no resistance. The finial which I identified as an artichoke symbolising hope, peace and prosperity was secured by a single half-inch wooden dowel which was now essentially compost in the shape of a dowel. I have no idea how it had stood up to wind and rain for the last few years without failing and falling!

In 2020 the Estates Manager, Andrew Gair, instructed us to carry out another thorough survey of the Gate of Virtue. Armed with the longest extension ladder it was possible to manage, I went across the facades again shouting down my findings to the surveyor, who marked off on a drawing the stones which were to be replaced or conserved.

The surveyor subsequently used software to correct the photographs to produce a dimensionally accurate series of beautiful highresolution drawings of all elevations. These annotated photogrammetric drawings were then printed as continuous images of each elevation on a continuous roll that could be spread out at meetings and discussed without need to refer to many individual photos and drawings.

A specialist conservation company was appointed to carry out a thorough survey and condition report. They tackled the complexities of poultice and laser cleaning, nano lime injection, consolidation techniques and mitigation proposals to stop further

erosion of the fine Elizabethan carved work to the lower orders of the gateway.

A 2015 analysis of the stone types used on the Gate helped us choose stone block from quarries of similar stone type in texture, colour and geology for the replacements. I also took samples of the original mortar and had them analysed by a Scottish specialist in lime mortars so that we could match our own mortars as closely as possible.

The design of the scaffold, too, required careful planning. It had to be independent, not bolted to the building in any way, able to provide access through the gateway throughout the course of the work. Furthermore, it had to be both fully sheeted to control the spray from the cleaning process and able to stand the wind loading of a fully cloaked scaffold which acted as an enormous sail. It took three weeks for a small team to carefully ferry in tubes through the Great Gate and to complete the structure to the constant background soundtrack of clanking tubes and the hammer of their impact wrenches.

Our first task was to clean the facades to remove centuries of grime and biological dirt by means of a steam cleaner which was gently played over the surface causing dark grey water to stream down into the recycling collection points and settlement butts. The facades were now refreshed, allowing the buff, beige hues of the limestones to shine through. The cleaning also exposed open joints and unsightly and defective cement mortar repairs which needed to be replaced and re-pointed.

Some severe soiling remained, particularly under projecting courses and in the intricate undercut carving of fretwork and volutes and fluting of the capitals and pilasters where the sooty black deposits grew unhindered by the natural washing action of rain. This was tackled with a Jos Torc cleaning machine which created a low-pressure vortex of

The work in progress

water combined with a low abrasive calcium carbonate grit to gently scour the black crust away leaving the stone underneath much cleaner but structurally unaffected.

After the cleaning, I examined the building from bottom to top detailing every stone to be replaced, using sheets of acetate to trace and callipers, squares and sliding bevels to detail the geometry. I turned these site notes, dimensions and scrawls into workshop drawings and templates for use in the banker workshop, where the magic of shaping and carving the blocks by hand took place.

Finished stones were then packed carefully using softening between each piece to mitigate the jostling and braking that accompanied my twice-weekly pilgrimage in the early morning A14 traffic from Northamptonshire. This 90-minute journey was much quicker than the days it took in the 1560s to transport the stone by water from Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire down to Cambridge. The journey then started with loading a maximum of seven tons into shallow draft boats on the Nene at Wansford and then sailing across the natural west/east lie of the rivers via drainage channels to link up with the Cam. At least they didn’t have rising street bollards and over-zealous traffic wardens to contend with!

At Caius, with window protection up, we chopped out the defective stones, often coming across flat oyster shells, commonly burned at that time to make quick lime, used as packing and shims, as well as the oysters themselves being a plentiful source of protein for the workers.

Ready for new stone

We opened existing bed and perpendicular joints with a saw, creating a break line and thus protecting the adjacent stones. These lines of weakness could now be worked towards from the centre outwards by rutting the stone with a grinder and splitting sections off with a wide bolster and hammer. This gave us a square pocket ready to receive the new stone, slightly deeper than the original stone and one joint wider all around. The pocket was soaked with water and the lime mortar trowelled into the back and joints. The stone was set into this with just enough excess mortar to make the final tapping in with the white rubber mallet force the mortar up and around the top and side thereby totally filling the void behind and around the new stone. The joints were struck and then carefully sponged leaving them flush and surrounding stones free of any mortar smears.

In addition, the carved motifs were expertly cleaned with a laser, and we also re-tipped and re-assembled the rusting iron lamp bracket fixings over the archway.

By late October we had completed the restoration, conservation, consolidation, and thorough cleaning of the elevations and site. The project was signed off by the conservation officers and the scaffold was dismantled.

Just before the scaffold came down, I spent an enjoyable day examining every stone on the building by means of cross-light to pick out the original Elizabethan masons’ marks which were still just visible. They were scratched into the surface and were repeated all the way up both facades by four prominent stonemasons. This proved that all the work that had been marked, was contemporary and that the work on the Gate was executed by these individuals.

We might never know who the fixer masons were since the carver masons customarily only monogrammed each stone they produced by way of a banker or mason’s mark to secure payment for their work.

New stone for old

Welcome to Caius Open Day!

Opening the Gates Wider

Admissions and Outreach at Caius in the 2020s

The Caius Admissions Tutor, Dr Chris Scott, writes:

What is Cambridge looking for? How do I stand out? How does the application process work? Interest in these questions seems to become more fervent by the year, as Cambridge continues to receive more applications, more media attention, and to reach more and more young people who might not previously have considered Cambridge as a possibility. The above screenshot from TikTok is taken from one of our most viewed videos on the platform with some 75,000 views to date. In it, I attempt to answer the first question in 60 seconds. Yes, the Caius admissions and outreach team are now on TikTok! But you may be relieved to hear that our channel does not involve any dancing (I certainly am).

Many readers of The Caian may be on TikTok themselves of course. But perhaps for others, there may be some parallels between what can often seem a slightly bewildering social media platform (so it seemed to me a couple of years ago!) and the modern Cambridge admissions process. Dozens of admissions tests; three different kinds of ‘pool’; a Foundation Year; and, in addition, a swirl of misinformation in the press as Cambridge has become caught up in a new so-called culture war. It is often difficult to see the wood for either the trees or the fog. We hope that this piece will give you a true picture of admissions and outreach at Caius today.

The make-up of Caius’s student body is changing. In 2016, just 55% of incoming Caius students from the UK were from the state sector; in 2022, it was 73%, with 37% of incoming UK students displaying at least one indicator of disadvantage. Our applicant field is changing too: in 2023 some 75% of our 1,200 UK applicants were from the state sector. This is the largest number of applicants in our history.

How does the process work? Admissions decisions are made holistically. In conjunction with the Directors of Studies at Caius. I read nearly 1000 applications every year – and that really does mean reading them, not feeding them into an algorithm, or even just picking out what we consider to be the most relevant parts. In making admissions decisions, we consider both the predicted A-level grades of applicants and the GCSEs they have achieved. We look carefully at their personal statements and the references written by their teachers. We consider their performance in admissions tests (which we now set in nearly every subject) and any written work they have sent us. Finally, we assess their performance at interview.

Such lists are often concluded with a phrase such as ‘contextual data’, which risks creating the impression that contextual ‘flags’, as they are informally known, give applicants extra points or a ‘leg-up’ in the admissions process. This is not the case. The contextual information that we receive comes from several sources. Some concerns the individual: whether an applicant has been on Free School Meals within the last six years; whether they have ever been in the care of a local authority). Some concern their school: the average A-level score of the school or college at which an applicant is taking their A-levels; the average GCSE score of the school at which they sat their GCSEs; how often students from their current school or college go on to attend Cambridge and Oxford. Other information is deduced from postcodes: the rates of progression to university and socio-economic characteristics of an applicant’s postcode area. All of this helps us to understand the applications that we receive.

Caius, and Cambridge as a whole – as I am sure it was for all Caians reading this – is a place of study which treats its students as individuals, provides them with a huge amount of tailored personal support, and encourages them to pursue their own path of academic and intellectual individuation. It is consistent with this that our admissions process seeks to consider each applicant as an individual, potential academic – the individual they will be if they arrive here. As the TikTok video mentioned above also makes clear, that word ‘potential’ is all-important: academic potential is what we are looking for.

Caius interviews about 70% of applicants (the same is true of Cambridge more broadly), and 2023 saw many of these take place face-to-face for the first time since 2019 (unlike most Colleges, where interviews continue to take place online). At the end of the interview period, we decide which candidates will receive an offer from Caius, which may perhaps receive an offer from another Cambridge College, and which will unfortunately go no further in the process (at least for now – more on that in a moment).

Those in the middle category are placed in early January’s winter pool, Cambridge’s intercollegiate moderation process, which is there to ensure that colleges consider the strength of field not only internally in each subject but in each subject across the University. Every year roughly a quarter of all Cambridge offers are made through the winter pool. Thankfully, this continues to take place remotely: the days of 30 Admissions Tutors crowding round a table trying to get hold of paper files are well and truly gone! About 15% of those who apply (a surprising statistic to many, given Cambridge’s reputation and prestige) receive offers to take up a place at Cambridge in October, conditional on exceptional performance at A-level or in an equivalent qualification (unless an applicant has already sat their A-levels). Not all candidates meet their offer, and some who have missed very narrowly may be selected by another college through another pool: the summer pool. There is also usually space for candidates who applied the previous October but did not receive an offer in January.

For the last few years, Cambridge has also operated a widening participation initiative called the August Reconsideration Process. In brief, UK applicants who do not receive an offer after interview, but who meet certain widening participation criteria and go on to perform exceptionally well in their A-levels, can be selected from the third and final Cambridge pool: the August Reconsideration Pool. Over the last two or three years, a couple of hundred offers have been made through this scheme across Cambridge (including some made by Caius).

Another route into Cambridge, which Caius is proud to participate in, is the Foundation Year: a bespoke year-long course in the arts and humanities for UK students who have experienced significant educational disadvantage. This is intended to provide a springboard to the first year of a Cambridge arts or humanities Tripos. This is now in its second year, at Cambridge and at Caius.

The Foundation Year aims to make Cambridge accessible to a wider range of young people than has previously been the case. This is also the primary aim of outreach, in which Caius has invested heavily in recent years. We currently have four members of staff with some degree of outreach responsibility, up from one in 2019. Indeed, the Admissions Office is bigger than it has ever been, with five full-time team members who oversee our admissions processes and run sustained engagement programmes

for young people. They travel out to schools and colleges, organise visits to Caius, run residential events at the College, and manage our social media accounts.

Our flagship programme is the Cambridge Higher Aspirations Scheme (CHAS), which sees us lead around 350 Year 12 students each year through a programme of academic supervisions led by postgraduate students and postdoctoral researchers and application support sessions, culminating in a summer residence in Caius. Participating students are all from (primarily non-selective) schools and colleges in the state sector in the areas to which we are linked: Norfolk, Hertfordshire, and Barnet, Bexley, Bromley, Greenwich, Lewisham, Newham and Waltham Forest in London. These areas are specified by the University’s intercollegiate ‘link area scheme’, under which different colleges maintain relationships with different areas of the UK.

This does not limit us to work in the South-East and East of England. Caius Explore, for example, is an initiative aimed at fostering supra-curricular engagement across the UK: our Directors of Studies set tasks in a range of subjects (22 in 2023), and students are encouraged to respond and submit their responses for us to read. Last year we received nearly 500 entries from all parts of the country. In 2022-23, over 3,000 young people in Year 12 came to one of our major programmes or events; nearly 1,000 of them subsequently applied to Cambridge, and nearly 300 of them applied to Caius. We also run programmes for students in younger years: some 800 students in Years 9, 10 and 11 attending one of our sustained guidance schemes. We have even welcomed several primary school groups to the College over the past few months.

If you would like more information about outreach at Caius, you will find our Outreach Strategy on the College website. And we would encourage you to have a look online at our TikTok (tiktok.com/@caiusschools) or Instagram (Instagram.com/caiusschools).

There are over 150 videos to watch, covering a range of themes. They aim for a relaxed and informal tone that is in keeping with the platforms through which we are sharing our videos. There is a space for humour and for showing the human side of Caius and those who live and work here. Most of the videos feature members of the Caius admissions and outreach team, but we are also pleased to include Fellows, staff and students.

A few screenshots will provide some examples of different types of videos, including application advice, taster lectures, advertising events and competitions, and portraits of Directors of Studies.

If you would like to find out more about our admissions and outreach activities, or if you have an idea, or want to get involved, please do get in touch with the team on schools@cai.cam.ac.uk. We would love to feature some alumni on our TikTok, talking about the career they went into and how their time at Caius prepared them for it!

CAIAN NEWS

The Master addresses the May Week Party

Caius Club

Catherine Lister, the chairman, writes:

This has been a busy and exciting year for the Caius Club, with one of our members, Nick Lyons (1977), being the incumbent Lord Mayor of London, which gave us a brilliant reason to relocate our London dinner in the autumn ... more of that shortly.

Our dinner in College was once again well attended, by Caians across the age spectrum, with John Boyd (1954) taking the role of Dinner Chair. Professor David Abulafia spoke engagingly at the end of the dinner, and the kitchens served a delicious meal as ever.

The Bumps picnic in June was graced by pleasant weather, and the turn-out was strong, with plenty of exciting racing to keep the crowds entertained. The Men’s 1st VIII held on to the Headship for another year, but sadly the 1st Women’s VIII ended second, having spent the middle of the week at the top of the division. There’s always next year to go for that double headship!

The highlight of this year’s Caius Club calendar was undoubtedly the annual London dinner, this year held at Mansion House, the magnificent residence of the Lord Mayor of the City of London, to which Nick Lyons invited us.

Over two hundred people attended, including the Lord Mayor, the Master and our guest speaker, Mark Damazer (1974 and Master of St Peter’s College, Oxford 2010-19).

The Lord Mayor joined us for pre-prandials, read Grace and gave a short welcome to all the guests. The Master gave us an update from the College, and Mark regaled us with reflections on a career in the BBC followed by a return to academia (notwithstanding it was in the wrong place!). We then retired for a ‘stirrup cup’, which gave us plenty of time to catch up with old friends and make new ones across the years.

The Caius Club Dinner

Caius House, Battersea

Delrita Agyapong, Chief Executive Officer, writes

Established in 1888, Caius House remains committed to supporting young people and their families through educational opportunities, creative arts, and sporting activities, aligning with the original settlement’s mission. We continue to uphold the Caius Mission of ‘Making the best of ourselves and Battersea’.

Following on from the pandemic, Caius House realises more than ever the need to work together in collaboration with other local organisations to strengthen our support for the local community. The CEO has spent a lot of time working with other voluntary sector organisations, the local authority and local businesses to foster partnerships and joint approaches to working.

Activity Highlights

Holiday Provision

With funding support from Wandsworth Council and Battersea Summer Scheme, we delivered holiday provision during the Summer and Easter holidays with sessions for those aged 4–8 and those aged 11–16. This included a basketball camp led by the London Basketball Association (LBA) and we provided hot daily meals for each young person attending. These holiday clubs cost parents nothing. Trips were organised every Thursday, offering diverse experiences from indoor snow skiing to sports events, fostering camaraderie among participants. Additionally, a fully funded weekend retreat at Hindleap Warren, facilitated by the Jack Petchey Foundation and London Youth, offered a chance for 10 participants to explore new activities and forge connections.

Trip to the Lion King

In collaboration with Providence House, a group of 30 from Caius House attended a performance of the Lion King in London’s West End. The attendees relished the show, which was made extra special by the presence of a local young talent playing Young Simba. Despite returning late in the evening, parents emphasised the significance of such experiences, often unattainable due to financial constraints. One parent commented: ‘I really wanted my child to have this experience, as at the moment with all these rising costs it would be impossible for me to be able to provide these experiences and opportunities for her.’

Annual Battersea ‘Come Dine with Me’ Extravaganza

Supported by Battersea Summer Scheme and United Battersea Charities, this culinary event engaged youth clubs in a week-long cooking challenge. Caius House hosted and

prepared Japanese cuisine, vying for top marks in food, presentation, entertainment, and overall experience. Although we were not triumphant this year it was an amazing programme and it got so many of the young people working together and having fun.

Counselling Services

Our counselling programme, now in its second year, has dealt with complex mental health issues such as suicidal ideation, OCD, and historical abuse. Despite a predominantly female demographic, all clients have reported beneficial experiences, with observable positive changes in behaviour. The increasing demand for counselling reflects the need for such services, especially considering extended waiting times in other services.

Statistics

Gender Distribution: 46% Female, 54% Male

Average daily footfall: 259

Number of young people engaged this year: 428

Caius House remains dedicated to serving the community, providing essential services, and creating opportunities for local youth. As we move forward, the demand for our programmes, particularly counselling, is expected to rise, emphasising the critical role we play in addressing the mental health needs of young individuals.

This report showcases the unwavering commitment of Caius House to its mission and the positive impact it continues to make within the Battersea community.

Caius House is glad to be able to share our work once again in The Caian this year.

Personal News and Announcements

(This is a new rubric in The Caian: we would welcome any personal news that Caians might like to send in.)

Marshall, Jeremy Charles Arthur (1976 Economics). Inspired by the late Dr Iain MacPherson, Jerry found his vocation in business solutions to poverty. It started in 2012, co-founding a contact centre in Bethlehem, Palestine, where youth unemployment is exceptionally high. As an ‘invisible’ export, and because agents can work from home, the business is resilient to curfews, lockdowns and border closure. Called Transcend, the company serves both Israeli and Palestinian clients and grew to 180 staff. In 2020, Jerry founded Transformational Enterprise Network: www.tencommunity.net is a registered charity whose members and partners have helped create over 250,000 micro businesses in some of the poorest countries in the world. A conference, ‘From Handouts To Handshakes: The Place of Business in Ending Poverty’, organised by Jerry with four other agencies in London in June 2024, will be opened by Archbishop Justin Welby.

Obituaries of Fellows and Staff

PAYKEL, EUGENE STERN, FMedSci (1986), 3 September 2023

Fellow 1986-2001, Emeritus Fellow 2001-23

Eugene (Gene) Paykel was a psychiatrist known for his research work on depression, clinical psychopharmacology and social psychiatry over many decades.

He was born in Auckland, New Zealand on 9 September 1936, and received his medical degree at the University of Otago Medical School, Dunedin, followed by training in psychiatry at the Maudsley Hospital London.

He undertook research at Yale University, where he became co-founder of the depression Research Unit. Returning to London, he worked at St George’s Hospital Medical School London, eventually becoming Professor of Psychiatry. In 1985 he was appointed Professor of Psychiatry and Head of Department at Cambridge, a position he held until his retirement in 2001. He was elected Fellow of Caius in 1986.

Early on in his research career, Paykel conducted a controlled trial which showed the need to continue antidepressant medication for some months after remission to prevent relapse. A later trial showed that cognitive therapy could prevent depressive relapse and that antidepressant treatment could be effective in milder cases of depression. He was the first to show conclusively the importance of recent stressful life events in the onset of depression and to prove that they continued to have an impact on the role of life events in other psychiatric disorders.

Paykel was joint founding editor of the Journal of Affective Disorders from 1979 to 1993 and he also edited the journal Psychological Medicine from 1994 to 2006. He was Viceand later President of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. He was President of the British Association for Psychopharmacology at various times (later Honorary Member) and a member of the Collegium Internationale Neuropsychopharmacologicum (CINP), and Marce Society (International Society for Disorders of Childbearing).

He was elected a Fellow of the UK Academy of Medical Sciences at its foundation in 1998. He received the American Psychiatric Association Foundations Fund Prize (jointly), the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology-Lilly Award for Clinical Neuroscience, and the British Association for Psychopharmacology Lifetime Achievement Award.

At Caius he was a popular colleague who took a great interest in the Caius medical students and engaged with other Fellows in all subjects. He had boundless curiosity about the research of his colleagues and a great fondness for the College. His is survived by his wife Maggie and his sons Jon and Nick.

MORRIS, JOHN, Lord Morris of Aberavon

KG PC KC (1952 Law, Affiliated Student), 5 June 2023

Honorary Fellow 2001-23

The former Labour Attorney General John Morris died aged 91 after a short illness. He clocked up an extraordinary series of records during 64 years in the Commons and Lords. At the time of his death, he was the longest-serving member of the Privy Council, to which he was appointed in 1970, and had sat in cabinet under three Prime Ministers, the last of whom, Tony Blair, was six years old when Morris was first elected as MP for Aberavon, south Wales, in 1959.

In one of his earliest posts, as a junior transport minister, he helped pilot the 1967 Road Safety Act, introducing the breathalyser, through the Commons under the aegis of the then Transport Secretary, Barbara Castle. He was Secretary of State for Wales for the entirety of the 1974-79 Labour governments of Harold Wilson and James Callaghan, and after the ensuing years in opposition was appointed by Blair in 1997 as the senior law officer in his new Labour government.

He was the longest-serving Welsh MP until his retirement from the Commons in 2001, the last former Labour MP elected in the 1950s and the last surviving member of Wilson’s cabinet of 1974-76. From his first ministerial appointment in 1964 as parliamentary secretary to the Ministry of Power he spent 33 years on the frontbenches, a period that would have been continuous but for his absence between 1981 and 1983 when he was dropped from the shadow team by Michael Foot.

His most difficult term in office came during Labour’s first ill-fated attempt in the 70s to recognise the upsurge of nationalism in Scotland by introducing devolution, while at the same time mistakenly proposing a similar measure for Wales despite the absence of any equivalent demand.

The issue was unpopular with the Welsh electorate, highly divisive within the Labour party – Neil Kinnock was against it – and ended with a thumping 80% of voters in Wales rejecting the idea in a referendum held on St David’s Day in 1979. It was a considerable humiliation for Morris, who had been appointed to the post of Welsh Secretary by Wilson for this specific task, succeeding George Thomas (later Lord Tonypandy), who had fervently opposed devolution.

‘The truth had to be faced. We had failed abysmally,’ Morris ruefully acknowledged. ‘When you see an elephant on your doorstep, you recognise it.’

The eventual establishment in 1998 of the Welsh assembly, now the Senedd Cymru, under the Blair government, was ‘very little different’, he would later claim defensively, from the proposals for a Welsh ‘powerhouse’ such as he had advocated so unsuccessfully two decades earlier. After he left government, by which time devolution was seen as a proven success, he said: ‘My fingers were on the strings of that harp from beginning to end.’

He was a skilful and capable humanitarian with a strong commitment to public service and he energetically pursued the interests of his constituents throughout his long years as an MP. His 1959 maiden speech was about the need for a bypass for the steelworks of Port Talbot, and the eventual south Wales extension of the M4 was one of the significant improvements in the Aberavon infrastructure during a period of considerable industrial change. His main constituency focus was on industrial investment, port development and the NHS.

As Welsh secretary in 1976 he established the Welsh Development Agency which pursued such advancement nationwide until it was merged into the Welsh government in 2006. He was also responsible for securing special development status for northwest Wales.

He had been unexpectedly chosen as the Labour candidate for Aberavon, aged 28, when he was practising in Swansea as a barrister, pursuing personal injury claims on behalf of miners and steelworkers. He was also assistant general secretary and legal adviser to the Farmers’ Union of Wales from 1956 to 1958, reflecting the agricultural interest of his family background. He had joined the Labour party in 1951.

Born in Capel Bangor, near Aberystwyth, Ceredigion (then Cardiganshire), he was the son of Olwen (nee Edwards), a district nurse and midwife, and DW (David) Morris. His father, who had been a magistrate and farmer, died when he was six and his mother married another local farmer, Evan Lewis. John was one of six sons born to Olwen, and all five of his brothers became farmers.

His brother DW (Dai) Morris became first principal of the Welsh Agricultural College. John – who joked that he was the ‘black sheep’ of the family – went to Ardwyn Grammar School and the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth, before studying Law at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, and the Academy of International Law in The Hague.

He did his National Service partly in Germany, commissioned into the Royal Welch Fusiliers and the Welch Regiment, and was called to the bar at Gray’s Inn in 1954. In his memoir Fifty Years in Politics and the Law (2011) he would describe himself thereafter as ‘a circus artist riding two horses’ as he subsequently pursued parallel careers in the courts and at Westminster.

He took silk in 1973 and sat as deputy circuit judge in 1979 and as a recorder from 1982 to 1997. He practised from 2 Bedford Row chambers in London, which he shared with several other political lawyers, including Sir Michael (later Lord) Havers, whom he would shadow when the latter became Attorney General in the government of Margaret Thatcher.

Morris spent two years at the Ministry of Power until 1966, chairing a committee dealing with pneumoconiosis during that time, and a further two years thereafter at the Ministry of Transport. Wilson promoted him to minister of state at the Ministry of Defence, with responsibility for equipment, in 1968 and he became a junior defence spokesman in opposition between 1970 and 1974. After the fall of the Callaghan government in 1979, he began his long stint as Labour’s senior law officer.

He was on the centre-right of the party, and during its internal struggles of the late 1970s and early 1980s chaired the multilateral Labour defence and disarmament group aimed at reversing the party’s then unilateral policy. He nominated Roy Hattersley as party leader and deputy in 1983 in the leadership election won by Kinnock and was restored to the frontbench after his two-year absence.

His significant contribution as Attorney General in the Blair government was to set up a review of the Crown Prosecution Service. He was also responsible for authorising the legitimacy of the targets during NATO’s air attacks on Kosovo, something he considered of the utmost seriousness. He stood down voluntarily in 1999, announcing at the same time that he would stand down as an MP at the next election, and was rewarded with a knighthood.

He became a life peer in 2001 and two years later was appointed to the Order of the Garter. In the Lords he remained active until within weeks of his death.

In 1959 he married Margaret Lewis, a nursery schoolteacher and magistrate. She and their three daughters, Nia, Non and Elinor, survive him.

His daughter Non Morris (1982 Modern Languages) sent us this reminiscence: My father was tirelessly enthusiastic and had very fond memories of his time at Cambridge often explaining how his time there was key to opening his horizons and making possible his future success. He shared rooms at Caius with a dapper former Naval Officer whom he remembered as having the correct outfit for everything – black tie, white tie, the right kind of blazer. My father’s wardrobe was rather more modest, and his favourite watering hole was the Milk Bar but his life at Cambridge was full and stimulating. Off he went to the Fabian Society and the Welsh Society (in his one tweed jacket and sleeveless jumper). He loved the excitement of passionate debates and made many life-long friends.

One of these was John Lewis, a fellow Welshman studying law at St John’s who played the supremely important role of introducing my father to his sister, Margaret. The ultimate romantic, my father was still talking about the moment he met my mother the week he died. He first spotted her next to her brother, John, across a rainy Welsh Eisteddfod field some 70 years ago. He acted swiftly, took the siblings and their father out to tea, and the rest is history.

My father was passionate about the power of education and access to excellent education for all and, as the father of three daughters, was determined that by the time we were applying to university, the doors of Caius would be open to us too. Sadly, Caius had not moved quite fast enough for my older sister, Nia (who went off to Jesus College, Oxford to read PPE – the Welsh connection kept my father happy!). But when it came to my turn, he was completely delighted that I joined the third year of women at Caius, arriving in 1982 to read Modern Languages and Art History.

When I was at Caius, the undergraduate Law Society invited my father to their annual dinner. He loved meeting passionate young lawyers including Matthew Weait (1982 Law, now Professor of Law and Society and Director of Continuing Education at Oxford) and Hugh Pryse-Davies (1982 Law, who became a Capital Markets Lawyer at BNP Paribas). Both Matthew and Hugh wrote to me when my father died with fond memories of that evening and of the chance to meet and talk with such an eminent Caian.

My father was delighted to be honoured by Caius with an Honorary Fellowship. Coming to the Annual Gathering was a top priority: he enjoyed meeting up with Life Fellow Michael Prichard who had taught him in the 1950s and he cherished his long association with the College. When my youngest son was applying to Cambridge, he took the fact that he was applying to Magdalene surprisingly well. That the then master, Dr Rowan Williams, was a distinguished Welshman and that he had worked with the subsequent Master, Sir Christopher Greenwood, on a matter of International Law, helped tremendously. For my father, excellence, loyalty, a life of industry and service – and, if at all possible, being Welsh – meant everything.

PASINETTI, LUIGI (1956) 31 January 2023

Honorary Fellow 1999-2023

Admitted as a research student at Caius in 1956, returning in 1989 as a visiting Professor, Luigi Pasinetti was elected an Honorary Fellow of Caius in 1999.

Born on September 12, 1930, in Zanica, near Bergamo in northern Italy, Pasinnetti began his economics studies at Milan’s Università Cattolica, where he obtained his “laurea” degree in 1954.

He won several scholarships for postgraduate studies at the University of Cambridge (1956 and 1958), Harvard University (1957) and the University of Oxford (1959).

In 1962 he became a Fellow of King’s College, Cambridge, and he was awarded his PhD in 1963. In 1973, he was appointed Reader in the University, a post that he kept until his return to the Università Cattolica Milano in 1976, where he was elected Dean of the Faculty of Economics.

His research focused on the dynamic theory of economic growth and income distribution, with his work rooted in classical economic analysis.

He received numerous distinctions and honours for his academic work, and provided valuable contributions to several major economic journals. He was a founding Patron of the Cambridge Journal of Economics (since 1977) and had roles with the Journal of Post-Keynesian Economics (since its founding in 1978) and Kyklos (1981). He was latterly Emeritus Professor at the Università Cattolica Milano.

The Faculty of Economics remembered him as follows:

An Italian economist of the post-Keynesian school, Professor Pasinetti has been described as the heir of the Cambridge Keynesians and a student of Piero Sraffa and Richard Kahn. Along with them, as well as Joan Robinson, he was one of the prominent members on the ‘Cambridge, UK’ side of the Cambridge capital controversy of the 1950s and early 1960s about whether the natural rate of economic growth is exogenously given or endogenous to demand.

His research was an inquiry into the dynamic theory of economic growth and income distribution, with his work rooted in classical economic analysis.

Professor Leonardo Felli, the Chair of the Faculty of Economics, wrote: ‘Professor Luigi Pasinetti is fondly remembered at Cambridge where he spent the first part of his career

as a research student of Joan Robinson and Nicholas Kaldor and went on to become a renowned economist within the Faculty before leaving Cambridge to go back to Milan,’ he said. ‘His key contributions to the Cambridge UK side of the Cambridge capital controversy are well known as the Pasinetti Theorem.’

His 1962 paper, the now famous Pasinetti Theorem, achieved the result of re-stating Kaldor’s original equations without the need to rely on the assumptions that the workers’ propensity to save was zero, which was no longer regarded as contemporary. When Pasinetti presented his views about these issues to an audience, he himself described the moment:

‘I dared, while being the youngest member, to present the results of my work on income distribution to a session of the so-called “Secret Seminar” in King’s College (a post-war version of Keynes’s more famous Circus) – a unique experience for me. I presented my results as a criticism of Kaldor’s theory. The members of the audience were stunned, or suspicious, or disbelieving, with one exception: Nicky Kaldor. He was extraordinarily quick in grasping the gist of the idea and in seeing that the concession of his having fallen into a “logical slip” led to a generalisation of the post-Keynesian (in fact of Kaldor’s) theory of income distribution and moreover to a new, long-run, Keynesian theory of the rate of profits.’

The young Italian student became in time one of the foremost Cambridge economists of his generation.

Birkinshaw, Mark, MA (1980) PhD (1980) Research Fellow 1980-84

His wife Professor Diane Worrall writes as follows:

Mark Birkinshaw, Professor of Cosmology and Astrophysics at the University of Bristol, died of cancer in July 2023 after a brief illness. He was 68 years old.

Mark was born in London in December 1954, the eldest of three children. The family later moved to Hampshire where he won a place at Portsmouth Grammar School. He was awarded a scholarship at St John’s College, Cambridge in 1973 and, on graduating, went on to undertake a PhD at the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory (MRAO) of the Cavendish Laboratory between 1976 and 1979. He completed a thesis on ‘The radio and X-ray properties of clusters of galaxies’, which, after two years as a Miller Research Fellow at the University of California, Berkeley, secured him election as a Research Fellow at Caius.

It was while he was a Fellow of Gonville and Caius College in the early 1980s that he published the first solid detection of the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect, showing how the gaseous atmospheres of clusters of galaxies affect the ubiquitous Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation. The work, evolving from his Ph.D. studies at the Cavendish Laboratory’s Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory (1976-1979), and after which he spent two years as a Miller Fellow at the University of California, Berkeley, required many weeks of observation with the largest telescope of the Owens Valley Radio Observatory in California. This work established Mark’s reputation as a world leader in the field of observational astrophysics.

In 1984, after marrying astrophysicist Diana Worrall, he became a faculty member at Harvard University, where he was also an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Research Fellow, and he joined the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in 1992. He was appointed to his Chair at the University of Bristol in 1995, when the Physics Department sought to diversify its research and recruit a leader to establish a new astrophysics group.

Beyond the observational side of astrophysics, Mark was gifted in exploring the theoretical underpinning of everything he studied, be it cluster atmospheres, the stability of large-scale jets ejected from the centres of galaxies, the source of magnetic fields pervading vast structures, and gravitational lensing. He was a popular teacher and mentor, known for his clear, insightful, explanations, and his derivations from first principals, normally presented in his signature tiny and elegant handwriting.

For all his academic prowess, Mark was a gentle, modest, and kind man. He took an interest in many things and was a prolific reader. He loved to travel and would study the language to great effect before embarking on foreign trips. He was generous with his time, supporting those who asked, whether from amateur astronomy groups and the general public, or major professional endeavours where he was widely solicited to serve on and lead influential national and international research committees and boards. His early and unexpected death is a huge loss: he was a loving husband, friend, and inspirational colleague.

BAILEY, CHRISTOPHER JAMES CECIL (1995-62 Economics), 14 March 2023

Gonville Fellow Benefactor 2009-23

His family write as follows:

Christopher James Cecil Bailey read Economics at Caius between 1959 and 1962. He credited his time there with shifting his horizons and making him think in a more enlightened way and he was honoured to be made a Gonville Fellow Benefactor in 2009.

He was born in Bristol in 1939, just as war was about to break out. Through his school years he spent as much time as he could playing team sports, particularly rugby from an early age and later, rowing. He also developed and maintained a lifelong love of chess which he played competitively through school and university.

Much to his tutor’s surprise, he was accepted by Gonville and Caius to read Economics, joining the University after a gap year teaching in a reformed school: he always said that it taught him a great deal about real life. He went up to Caius in Michaelmas 1959 and there he met Henry MacDougall and Neil McGowan who were also reading Economics. They became firm friends and remained friends for the rest of their lives sharing many of their personal milestones. Sadly, they also died within a year of each other. He also met Angela Mortimer while at Cambridge whom he married and with whom he had two children, Jonathan and Helena.

Following his graduation from Caius, Christopher applied to Arthur Andersen in the City to become an Articled Clerk, aiming to qualify as an accountant as quickly as possible. He duly achieved this goal only to decide that accountancy was not for him. Together with his colleague and friend Bryan Duffy, he hatched a plan for a life and career in the City together. The pair of them explored many entrepreneurial avenues before becoming joint Chairmen of Brown and Jackson, a fully listed conglomerate company. They enjoyed huge success in reinvigorating the fortunes of the company before eventually selling it on.

His marriage to Angela ended amicably, and in 1981 he married Shirley, with whom he had a son, Edward. In 1989 they bought The Shotesham Park Estate just south of Norwich. This marked the start of a new period in Christopher’s life, which enabled him to enjoy a long-held love of the countryside and country pursuits.

The whole estate had been allowed to slip into disrepair and Christopher and Shirley threw themselves into breathing life back into it. It took over 30 years of renovation and rebuilding work. It remains a beautiful estate managed in hand and it continues to offer much pleasure to the family.

Over the past 30 years, until his stroke in 2015, Christopher became a fine shot; he played tennis well, skied, and occasionally played golf. He was chairman of the Shotesham Common Committee and a Trustee of Norwich Cathedral. He worked on many countryside charities and, owing to his devout Christian faith, he was an ardent supporter of the local churches.

Christopher passed away peacefully on 14 March 2023. He leaves behind his wife Shirley, his children Jonathan, Helena, and Edward, and seven grandchildren.

Obituaries of Caians

BOWDEN, HUMPHREY GARTH (1958 Natural Sciences, Metallurgy), 11 January 2023

The Editor is grateful to his wife Isabelle for information.

Humphrey Bowden was born at Hobart, Tasmania, the son of Frank Philip Bowden (1927 as Research Student, Fellow 1929-39, 1945-68). He was educated at Oundle and admitted to Caius to read Natural Sciences in 1958.

After periods of postgraduate study at Leeds and at Ithaca, New York, he returned to the UK and took up the post of head of research at Wilkinson Swords in Staines. It was while working here that he married his wife, Isabelle, in the Chapel at Caius. They lived first at Notting Hill Gate then subsequently at Richmond, where their four sons were born.

A new job conducting research into building materials at Redlands, Horsham allowed the family to move to West Sussex. Another appointment at the Goldsmiths Company turned out badly and moved Humphrey to decide against commuting to London and to set up as a consultant from home.

The move to a new home proved instrumental in a remarkable change of course and a highly successful new career. Since early days, Humphrey had been fascinated by shape and form. It started with painting, but rapidly developed into designing and making things: working models, lamps, turned wooden boxes, carvings, and then larger things. He particularly loved organic flowing shapes and was an enthusiast of Art Nouveau. He really wanted to go to art school, but parental pressure took him to Cambridge instead. And even though he subsequently went into industry to design and develop new products for large companies, he always wanted to get back to making his own designs.

Finally, in the 1990s, he found his true vocation. Using the knowledge that he had gained from studying physics and metallurgy, he was inspired by the idea of making fountains in plant shapes. He realised that the slender shapes of plants could be achieved by working a ductile metal such as copper, and he developed new techniques to get the shapes he wanted. He aimed for the natural forms of trees and other plants, which allowed the water to become part of the plant, emerging and following its shape, rather than squirting out as jets. By controlling the water flow carefully, he was able to get beautiful visual effects as the streams and drops glistened in the light. He also found that it was possible to create wonderfully gentle sounds with great variation as water falls into water.

Commissions soon came in. Early fountain designs were featured in show gardens at the Hampton Court and Chelsea Flower Shows. Other work built up rapidly in the UK, mainly for private gardens, but also for public and commercial spaces. His work can be found in several countries in Europe, in North America, the Far East, Africa and Russia. He exhibited annually at the Hampton Court Show for several years. He and his wife also featured his work in their Sussex garden, which became a popular destination under the National Garden Scheme. Humphrey’s garden became his showroom.

He loved life in Sussex, with his dogs, long walks, and sailing in Chichester harbour. The years of his great success were also punctuated by regular trips to France and by sailing in Turkey with his sister and brother-in-law.

Some years ago, Humphrey and Isabelle decided to move to France, where three of their sons already lived. Humphrey was able to establish a workshop and to make more fountains. Then his health began to fail, and he died after a long illness two days before his 83rd birthday.

BRENNAN, DENIS CVO (1970 Philosophy), 23 February 2023

With the assistance of Denis’s Caian contemporary and lifelong friend John Hodgson (1970 English), his wife Ursula writes:

Denis Brennan was born in Whitstable in 1951 and educated at St Augustine’s Priory in Ramsgate. He read Philosophy at Caius, and won the Master’s Prize on two occasions, once for an essay on the virtue of mercy and its possible conflict with the philosophical good of justice.

His sights were set early on the civil service, and on leaving Cambridge he joined the Ministry of Defence, working first in procurement and later on nuclear defence policy. In 1983 he joined the Cabinet Office, with responsibilities for defence and foreign policy matters.

In 1986 he suffered a serious head injury while on a visit to Northern Ireland with Defence Secretary George Younger, and on his return to work he was seconded to the International Institute for Strategic Studies. He returned to the Ministry of Defence in 1990 as Head of the Air Staff Secretariat, and went back to the Cabinet Office in 1995, where he was placed in charge of the development of a new IT strategy.

In 1999, returning to foreign policy and defence, he was closely tied to the Balkans, involved in ensuring Russia’s cooperation in the closing days of the Milosevic regime in the former Yugoslavia. In 2004, he became the Head of the Honours and Appointments Secretariat at the Cabinet Office, responsible for the modernisation and improved transparency of the honours system.

He brought to all his civil service roles a gentleness and dignity of demeanour and a sharp intellect tempered by playfully ironic humour. He retired in 2011 and became a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (CVO)

Denis married his wife Ursula, also a civil servant, in 1975, and the two lived in Putney, later also acquiring a flat in the centre of their beloved city of Florence, which they visited several times a year. Denis had a deep love of music and was a regular concertgoer at the Wigmore Hall. In 2003, when immobilised with a broken hip, he took up the piano and continued to practise until the end of his life. His retirement was however dogged by illness. He was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2012 and cancer of the tongue in 2016. He bore these illnesses with his characteristic patience and equanimity. His wife Dame Ursula Brennan DCB survives him.

Brunton, John Hubert (1955 as a Research Student in Engineering)

His daughter Juliet Mackney writes:

John Brunton was born in Holywell, North Wales on 31 October 1934. His father was a silk worker and soldier, and his mother a milliner. He attended Holywell Grammar School and achieved a County Exhibition award for his academic achievements.

He graduated as a BSc from Birmingham University with first-class honours in Physical Chemistry and then completed his PhD at Caius. In addition to his academic studies, John was a pilot in The Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve and a member of the Cambridge University Air Squadron 1956-58 where he was the Gonville & Caius representative. He also rowed for the College.

John was an Exhibitor at The Royal Society in 1959, presenting “The Deformation of Solids at High Rates of Strain by Liquid Impact”. In the 1960s he worked in Surface Physics and the Physics and Chemistry of Solids at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge before transferring to a University Lectureship the Engineering Department, where he taught Materials. He published several papers in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society. He joined Churchill College in 1963 as a Teaching Fellow where he taught until his retirement. Over this time, he was a long-serving Tutor and Admissions Tutor, as well as Secretary of the Faculty Board. On retirement in 1999, he was elected to an Emeritus Fellowship.

John’s scientific ability was reflected in his approach to life. He was methodical and thorough, but also very practical, making furniture, fireplaces, rewiring our house, relaying the driveway – no task was too daunting. Likewise, the garden benefited from his attention to detail and thirst for knowledge. Gardening was a source of great joy for John, spending many hours with his wife Lynn, cultivating vegetables, fruit and wildflowers, and mowing the not-insignificant lawn!

He had many interests and talents, including a lifelong love of the arts, and he was a talented amateur painter himself. A lively interest in current affairs, a love of steam trains and travel. He was however at his happiest when walking in the Welsh hills with his wife and family.

He met Lynn in the early 1960s when she was travelling around the UK and Europe from her home in New Zealand. They married in 1963 and would have celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary in 2025. He was a devoted husband and loving father to his four children, Katherine, Elizabeth, Juliet and Richard, and 18 grandchildren.

John died peacefully at home surrounded by his wife and children. He was a kind, gentle, wise and intelligent man and we were blessed to have him as a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend – he is sadly missed.

CASE, KENNETH CHARLES (1942 Modern Languages), 18 June 2023

The following text was sent to us on behalf of Kenneth Case’s family and friends:

Ken Case died on 18 June 2023 aged 98 years. He was born in Fulham in 1924. He was educated at Latymer Upper School in Hammersmith.

He was awarded an exhibition to study Modern and Medieval Languages at Caius. The languages in question were French and German, the heavenly twins of languages studied at that time.

Since he volunteered for the Royal Navy before his call-up papers came through, he was allowed to defer his call-up until he had completed his first year at university, on the condition that he joined the university naval division.

During his service, he was designated a Writer (Special) serving aboard ship, nicknamed “headache operators”. His role was to intercept German signals, with his logs being sent to Station X, the code name for Bletchley Park, where his sister Winifred worked. During the D-Day landing, he was assigned to the USS Forester. After the war, he was posted to Buxtehude to act as interpret attached to the staff of the Flag Officer Western Germany.

On demobilisation in 1946, he returned to Cambridge where he achieved a BA (Honours) and an MA two years later. He then worked as a Translator and research assistance, first for the US Naval Attaché and then for the Air Historical Branch of the Air Ministry. In 1959 he became a Tutor at an independent college in London, teaching English Literature and German until his retirement in 1989.

During the war he met Wren Margery Smith, who served at a Y-station, also affiliated with Bletchley Park. They married in 1951 and moved to Chesham a few years later. In

the first years of married life, they lived in East Ham, and he became a life-long fan of ‘The Hammers’ football team. Margery sadly died in 1960.

He started the Chesham and District Transport Users Association to prevent the closure of Chesham Station.

He published two books: a translation of Devils and the Damned by Benedict Kautsky, an account of Nazi concentration camps by a survivor; and A Short History of English Literature, published for German schools after the war.

Colleagues, students, friends and family will recall Ken’s warmth and generosity, his wit and humour and his wonderful stories about his extraordinary life. He will be sadly missed by everyone whose life he touched.

DUNLOP,

PETER

DAVID MOIR

(1971 Medical Sciences), 15 March 2023

His wife Patricia Dunlop writes as follows:

Peter Dunlop was born at Eastbourne the son of a medical practitioner. He was educated at Wellington College and admitted to Caius in 1971 to read Medicine. He revelled in the freedom and companionship of College life. Outside of study he spent his time rallying with the University Automobile Club and playing rugby for the Caius Pigeons social team.

He subsequently transferred to St George’s Hospital Medical School to complete his training. Having decided to pursue a career in Obstetrics and Gynaecology he did most of his junior doctor training in South London, including a stint doing research at the Hammersmith Hospital, confirming the benefits of using steroids to encourage foetal lung development in pre-term labour.

He became a senior registrar in South Manchester, and subsequently a consultant at Macclesfield District General Hospital. There he modernised and re-invigorated the unit, and was highly respected, and much appreciated by his nursing and midwifery colleagues, and patients, as highlighted by how many attended his funeral despite it being 14 years after his retirement.

At the age of 55 he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. He accepted the diagnosis with bravery and stoicism and was always open about it. He became an ambassador for the Alzheimer’s Society, speaking at local, national, and international meetings, as well as at the Commons, the House of Lords, and at the G8 summit on dementia organised by David Cameron.

His main hobbies were always fishing and cars. He was twice team doctor on the RAC British Rally and his greatest regret was having to stop driving his beloved Subaru.

He died peacefully on March 15, 2023, having been in a care home for four years, and is survived by his wife, Tricia, and two children Ian (2000 Economics) and Catherine and four grandchildren.

ESCOFFEY, RAYMOND ARNOLD (1942 Modern Languages), 7 October 2022

His daughters Claire-Anne Escoffey and Dr Carole Saad-Escoffey write as follows: Raymond Escoffey passed away in his own home on 7 October 2022, a few days before his 99th birthday. Raymond, whose parents were Swiss, was born in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, but came to live in England from the age of three months. The family remained in England, but during school holidays, Raymond and his brother would visit family in Switzerland.

He grew up in Hendon, northwest London, and went to Haberdasher’s Aske School. He gained a scholarship to study Modern Languages (French and German) at Caius, graduating with a double first.

During wartime, Raymond did farm work picking fruit and vegetables. After graduating, having stayed on a further year at Cambridge, learning Russian and completing a teaching certificate, his first post was as French master at Dulwich College in Southeast London, where he taught for about eight years. During that time, he met Micheline, a young French girl who had come to work in London. They married in 1952 and had two daughters.

He then pursued a career at the BBC where he was a producer of French teaching programmes for schools and colleges, as well as of Russian for beginners. Always active, alongside his BBC career, Raymond Escoffey worked freelance, writing French and English teaching programmes for German broadcasting. For many years, he was also a French A-level examiner for the Cambridge Board, and he was co-author with Dr Merlin Thomas of the Penguin French Dictionary

He retired in 1982 but continued to do freelance work for some years. He remained active in his retirement, always an avid reader and an enthusiastic allotment gardener.

FLETCHER, JOHN (1954 Medical Sciences), 14 August 2023

Professor Ian Brockington (1954 Natural Sciences) writes:

John Fletcher was born in 1935 in Knebworth, Hertfordshire, the son of a station master. From the local grammar school, he won a scholarship to Aldenham School, where he became head boy, and in 1954 won a Major Scholarship to Caius.

With his clear and logical mind, he took the Natural Science Tripos in his stride, effortlessly obtaining triple first-class grades, including the third year in pathology. He completed his medical training at the Middlesex Hospital and, after a round of the best house jobs in London, published, in 1967 and 1968, two papers in Nature on the functions of transferrin in iron transport (the Fletcher-Huehns hypothesis). This led to another scholarship, and he spent a year at Tufts University in Boston.

On return he was appointed as a general physician to the City Hospital in Nottingham, about the time that the innovative Nottingham medical school was opened. He specialised in haematology and the treatment of malignant lymphomas and leukaemia. In the mid-1990s he was raised to a personal chair, as Professor of Experimental Medicine. For 16 years he chaired the Nottinghamshire Leukaemia Appeal; the bone marrow transplant ward is named after him.

John was a sportsman who played hockey for Caius, and later for Hertfordshire; in 1959-1961, he was a member of Nottingham’s team, voted its greatest. As a novice rock climber he climbed the Dibona-Stubler route on the Cima Grande di Laveredo. After his retirement he continued to play golf and cricket, and he loved fly-fishing. He had many other interests: contract bridge, fine wine, and travel in Central and South America, India and South Africa. He played a full part in the life of his village, Caythorpe, and chaired the Independent Monitoring Board at Nottingham Prison. He and Elisabeth, whom he met at the Middlesex Hospital, enjoyed 60 years of happy marriage; they spent several weeks each year in the house that they purchased in the French Pyrenees, with their children Julia, Matthew and Paul and six grandchildren, a family life full of fun, and remarkably laid back.

In his ninth decade, he suffered a series of complications of arterial disease, and died aged 88 on 14 August 2023. He wore his brilliance with modesty and was respected by his colleagues as a model of integrity and wisdom. He will be remembered as a goodhearted and good-natured man, a kind and caring friend.

FORDHAM, JOHN (1968 Law), 27 July 2023

Contributed by his wife, daughter and son, colleagues and friends:

John Fordham died aged 74 from complications of myeloma. Typical of the man, John survived longer than the average for people with this condition, partly because (so he would claim) he avoided medical advice to be careful, slow down or stay put in this country.

John was born in Croydon in 1948, the only son of Jack, who worked in the offices of the Prudential, and Kathleen. He was a beneficiary of the post-war ‘Dulwich College Experiment’ that reserved the majority of places in the school for boys supported by full-fee awards from local councils who had passed the 11+ and the College’s own academic tests. John excelled as both scholar and sportsman, eventually becoming Captain of School. In the cricket pavilion at Dulwich, his name appears on four boards displaying consecutive 1st XI cricket teams.

Cricket remained integral to John’s whole life. He captained the Cambridge 2nd XI, and Surrey over-50s, and he played countless games for his beloved Sutton Cricket Club. He liked to win, but he simply loved playing and being part of the cricket-playing community. His teammates recall with affection his patience in teaching younger players, his loyalty to the club, the joy he brought to the game, and his love of an extravagant cover drive.

John also learned to fence at Dulwich and won the epée competition at the Public Schools Fencing Championship. At Cambridge he eventually accepted that he was more likely to gain a half-blue in Fencing than a blue in cricket. It was said that, during his year in the University team, he beat every member of the UK Olympic fencing squad preparing for the 1972 Munich games, but then turned down an invitation to join the squad because of his career ambitions.

John had been awarded an Exhibition Scholarship to read Modern Languages at Caius, but by the end of his first year he was troubled by his lack of enthusiasm for the course (‘too much literature and not enough language’). Good advice from the College led to John switching to Law. That decision took John to a First in Part II of the Law Tripos and into the profession that absorbed, delighted and rewarded him until his death.

After his first year in St Michael’s Court, John spent two years with the legendary Caius landlady, Mrs Evans of Mortimer Road, an experience that he loved to recall with affection and his trademark gales of laughter: from stories of the full whisky bottle

produced by Mrs Evans at the first sign of a Fordham sniffle to breakfasts so large the remnants had to be secretly smuggled out to the bin where a large cat population waited eagerly.

After Cambridge, John joined the commercial litigation practice of Stephenson Harwood as an articled clerk, via the Guildford Law School course and six months on a kibbutz in Israel. The kibbutz was a formative experience for John which left him with an enduring love of Israel and the kibbutz system. He remained in contact with the village and his hosts there until his death. He appreciated the sense of community in the kibbutz, and the indifference to consumption and material things. He wrote to Sarah suggesting they live there, but London and the law beckoned him back.

At Stephenson Harwood, his colleagues remember John as follows:

John had a stellar career and was widely regarded by those who worked for, with or against him as a force of nature, a man of extraordinary energy and passion with a character larger than life. He was fiercely loyal and devoted to his clients, the firm, his team, and his work, and enjoyed an epic career at Stephenson Harwood that spanned more than 50 years. He was inspirational, showing that litigating could be fun, that time spent teaching less experienced lawyers was time well spent, and above all that you should always lead from the front.

He became a partner in 1979 and later head of the commercial litigation department for 25 years, making him the firm’s longest serving head of department. The growth of the department during his tenure is testament to his leadership and reputation. After he retired as a partner in 2022, John continued work in mediation, an alternative method of dispute resolution of which John was an early and enthusiastic exponent.

John acted in some of the highest profile disputes of the day, including the Maxwell Pensioners’ claims, the case against Dame Shirley Porter in the ‘Homes for Votes’ scandal (for which the firm won Litigation Team of the Year), and for Lonhro in the bitterly fought battle with Mohammed Al-Fayed over the ownership of Harrods. In this last case John had the unusual experience of being joined as a defendant to proceedings against Lonrho and its CEO, Tiny Rowland, for contempt of the House of Lords. The claim against him was dismissed after a dramatic hearing before the Law Lords.

That was not John’s first brush with the authorities. In the early 1980s, he had been part of the Stephenson Harwood team that helped secure the release of 50 hostages who had been held in the US Embassy in Tehran for 14 months. In the US, the White House press secretary, Jody Powell, announced that the firm had resolved the last outstanding problem which allowed funds belonging to the Iranian banks to be unfrozen. Telephoned by a US media publication, John gave some very basic information about the firm. This was printed and caused a furore since advertising

by solicitors was banned at that time, and John was reported to the Law Society for ‘touting’. He was cleared, of course, and the Law Society commended the firm on its conduct of the case.

John was renowned for his sharp intellect, and his work rate was phenomenal, producing a batch of dictation by the start of each day. He expected no less of others but was also generous and kind with his time and advice, inspiring great loyalty among all he worked with, and huge respect both nationally and internationally.

And from John’s family:

The great love of John’s life – his family – was nurtured through Cambridge. He met his wife-to-be Sarah, a student at Homerton College, during a summer vacation in which both helped on a camp run by the Cambridge undergraduate charity CAMPUS for children of families who were in the care of Liverpool social services. John’s daughter, Rebecca, recalls a father who hated greed and pomposity, and was funny, strong, and loving. When she was on a gap year in Namibia, Rebecca called home and mentioned she had no running water and might have malaria. A few days later, a minivan appeared, and her big-framed father climbed out, having got on a plane from England, hired a completely inappropriate car and driven nine hours through the desert to see for himself what was happening. He became a devoted and engaged grandfather to five grandchildren, taking them on ‘one-painting-per-visit’ trips to Tate Britain and writing detective stories in serial form for weekly edge-of-the-seat excitement. John’s son, Ben, recalls his father’s extraordinary ability to pitch talk with his grandchildren at their level but with content taken from grown-up conversation.

And from his friends:

John loved Caius and was a generous benefactor to the College, as he was to Dulwich. He was the driving force behind the regular meetings of the lawyers in his year. He hated pretension and liked nothing better than to sit with a pint of beer in a crowded jazz bar or the unfussy surroundings of a local curry house. Although generally wary of change and modern technology, John embraced the Blackberry and its demands for vowelfree words, often removing consonants too, while ensuring his dictated letters never contained ‘couldn’t’ or ‘didn’t’, and he was an ardent fan of modern jazz and modern art.

His politics were unclassifiable. As a Cambridge University Conservative Association member, John travelled to Wolverhampton to consider standing against Enoch Powell in the 1970 general election. He read and stored every Private Eye, from the day he started with a copy he found on a train until the week he died. He enjoyed recalling he received the Litigation Team of the Year award from Ian Hislop just before his only appearance in Private Eye as an object of their critical scrutiny. John could be cantankerous, passionate, and opinionated, but always with a self-

deprecating wit. Depressed by a run of poor batting scores he wrote: ‘One consolation is I’ve only dropped two catches – that’s two more than I’ve caught.’ Invariably gentle and kind beneath his big presence, he had a disdain of social status, treating people equally and on their merits, and was generous to causes and institutions he valued. John was a loyal friend, whose sense of humour and absurdity was never far away: ‘Drop me a line soon’ he wrote to Peter Croft (1968), who was his first-year roommate and who shared Mortimer Road with him and a lifelong friendship, ‘to the home address if it’s clean, to Stephenson Harwood if crude, care of Lord Longford if obscene’.

John wrote from his hospital bed during his last illness: ‘Right up there, as valuable life ingredients, with oxygen, democracy, freedom of speech, and the possibility to play a cover drive, are luck and a sense of humour.’

Family, friends, and colleagues will greatly miss him.

FRIEND, JOHN (1949 Mathematics)

His granddaughter Natalie Thomas wrote in The Guardian 17 February 2023 as follows:

My grandpa John Friend, who has died aged 91, was a pioneer known in his field of operational research (OR) as ‘the father of the strategic choice approach’ and the winner of the 2015 Operational Research Society Beale Medal – an award that recognises a sustained contribution to operational research over many years.

Born in Oxford to Mary (nee Ritson), a teacher, and Greville Friend, a zoologist, John was two years old when the family moved to Edinburgh, and he was later joined by two brothers, Peter and James.

John was named Dux of the School at Edinburgh Academy in 1949, then graduated from Caius with a degree in mathematics in 1952. His work as a statistician in manufacturing and air transport soon took him to South Yorkshire, where at a wedding he met Mari Micklethwaite. They married in 1956 and had four children – Theresa, Joanna, Robin and David – between 1958 and 1968.

In 1964, John joined the Institute of Operational Research, where he led workshops on public sector planning. From this experience he developed the ‘strategic choice approach’, which has been used to help planners tackle difficult decisions in the face of uncertainty. He wrote and co-authored several books, including Planning Under Pressure (1987), an international bestseller.

During his career John worked as an independent consultant, developed internationally used software called STRAD (a portmanteau for “Strategic Adviser”), worked with governments across the world, and became a visiting professor at four British universities: Bradford, Hull, Sheffield and Lincoln.

One day his work would involve enabling community groups in east London to get the health service they wanted; another, he would be involved in cabinetlevel conversations in Venezuela. He was a whizz at a quiz and cared for the global environment and his socialist principles as well as for those around him.

John’s work took the family to various locations in the UK, including West Yorkshire, where he and Mari co-founded Bracken Hall Countryside Centre in 1980 – one of their proudest legacies. It remains a wildlife and environmental centre, on Shipley Glen, near Baildon.

They moved to Penistone, Barnsley in 2007, and Mari died there in 2016.

John is survived by his two brothers, four children, seven grandchildren, including me, three great-grandchildren and a great-great-grandchild.

GIMLETTE, THOMAS (TIM) MICHAEL DESMOND

(1944 Natural Sciences), 16 November 2022

Dr Tim Gimlette was a pioneer of nuclear medicine using radioactive ‘tracers’ to diagnose and treat disease, and, as a junior Army doctor, he worked at Berlin’s Spandau Prison, tending the last of the senior Nazis sentenced at the 1946 Nuremberg Trials.

He was born on 7 January 1927 in Wiesbaden, Germany, where his father, also a physician, was serving with the Army of Occupation. He was the grandson of Surgeon Rear Admiral Charles Hart Medlicott Gimlette (1908 Natural Sciences), and great-grandson of Thomas Desmond Gimlette, Inspector General of Hospitals and Fleets (who is credited with having invented the gimlet, the gin and Rose’s lime juice cocktail, supposedly a protection against scurvy).

When Tim Gimlette was two, the family moved to India, which he always loved despite everything: the dysentery, the marauding leopards, and nursery school, from which he was expelled for disobedience. After a subsequent move to Gibraltar, he was sent to Epsom College. From where he went up to Caius in 1944 and completed his medical training at St Thomas’s Hospital in 1951.

Having qualified, he did military service in the Royal Army Medical Corps, which led to him being posted to Berlin. There he enjoyed the strange atmosphere of a divided city, living in the Western half with its black market, nightclubs, and generally louche street life. For a year there he served as part of the medical team that looked after the seven Nazi war criminals incarcerated in Spandau castle. He got to know Albert Speer, Hitler’s favourite architect, particularly well: Speer was the only prisoner who spoke some English; Gimlette had no German, but he greatly enjoyed Speer’s intelligent conversation.

After his military service, Tim Gimlette returned to St Thomas’s, where he devoted himself to studying the thyroid gland. He was appointed to run the Isotope Laboratory and became increasingly involved in the use of radioisotopes for diagnostic purposes. This turned him into a pioneer in nuclear medicine.

In the face of establishment scepticism, he collaborated with such brilliant innovators as the physicist John Mallard (who helped develop nuclear magnetic imaging) and Ian Donald (the Scottish physician who developed the medical use of ultrasound. In 1966 he was one of the founders of the British Nuclear Medicine Society (BNMS) in the Prince Albert pub, Queensway, which is now the professional body for over 600 specialists.

In 1966, also, Gimlette took up an appointment at the Liverpool Clinic, later moving into the Royal Liverpool University Hospital. In 1976 he became a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, and the following year was elected President of the BNMS. In 1987 he became a Fellow of the Royal College of Radiologists. He was in demand at conferences in his field throughout the world until he retired in 1989.

Gimlette was a modest man with a lively and mischievous sense of humour, who maintained a wide circle of friends from all walks of life. In retirement, he indulged his enthusiasm for travel, painting, and conservation. He personally planted some 2,000 trees in Cheshire.

In 1957, Tim Gimlette married Ruth Curwen, who predeceased him. He is survived by their daughter and three sons.

GRUNDY,

JAMES MILTON (1944 English), 25 November 2022

The following obituary appeared in The Times on 14 January 2023:

High net-worth individuals, among them actors, entrepreneurs and media moguls, were keen to seek the advice of the tax lawyer Milton Grundy, as indeed were other lawyers, private wealth management advisory firms, companies and government ministers.

Not that Milton was unduly impressed by the circle he moved in. In Cannes in the 1980s he once found himself checking into a hotel alongside the James Bond actor Roger Moore, who turned to acknowledge him. Milton returned the greeting before whispering to the concierge, ‘Who was that?’

Regarded as a doyen of international tax law, Milton formed and became head of Gray’s Inn Tax Chambers. In the 1950s and 1960s he helped to write many of the business, tax, trust and banking laws for the governments of the Bahamas and Cayman Islands, and in the early 1980s he helped to write the laws of the Turks and Caicos Islands.

Where Milton earned his reputation was in his skill with language. He had the facility to skim page after page of correspondence — his eyes zigzagging at speed down the page — and grasp in a single stroke the essence of the content.

At the Tax Bar, Milton could summarise and recommend workable solutions to what would appear to be complex problems and with a few choice words provide his clients with stellar advice in an hour’s consultation that might have taken a small army of tax professionals a few hours. Each time a finance bill was published by parliament he would read it through and look for ways around it, his mind fizzing with ideas, sharpness and clarity.

In 1975 Milton founded the International Tax Planning Association, a magnet to thousands of professionals from around the world who would gather for its seminars three times a year. For the association Milton would create novel tax plans and structures that he whimsically referred to as his ‘toys’. As a lawyer he had a profound understanding of the principles underlying the rules, as well as a curiosity that led him to ask and to discover why the law was as it was.

His mastery of language he credited to his Cambridge University mentor, FR Leavis, the prominent English don and literary critic at Downing College, who taught his students to pay attention to ‘the words on the page’.

The tutorials were a turning point for Milton, who often said that because of Leavis he considered himself less of a lawyer and more of a conjuror and manipulator of words in English. It was a skill he insisted on instilling in all those with whom he worked.

Milton was born in 1926 in St Helens, Merseyside, to James, who ran a family business making steel gates, and May, a housewife. His father died at an early age and the complications surrounding his death stemmed in part, Milton felt, from the dealings with the tax office. It was one of the reasons he gave for choosing tax as a career.

His parents sent him to board at Sedbergh, an inspired choice that left him with a lifelong appreciation of the Cumbrian countryside. He also played in the rugby team,

performed Schumann’s Piano Concerto in A minor with the school orchestra and won a scholarship to read English at Caius.

His father, unafraid to articulate his ambitions for his bright and only son, suggested he go into medicine. Regrettably for James, there was a squeamish quality to Milton, who could barely enter a butcher’s shop without feeling nauseous — he didn’t like the smell of raw meat — and he chose to study Law instead.

In London in the 1950s, Miltons rented a studio flat in Belgravia, but by the late 1960s he could afford to buy a house in Pimlico, living in Warwick Square for the next 60 years. The property had been owned by a Victorian Scottish society portraitist who had turned it into a studio, gallery and residence, adding a grand staircase with domed ceiling, ballroom and conservatory to impress his wealthy clients. With later owners the house morphed into an art college, where Isadora Duncan is said to have used a room as a studio.

For Milton, who was in a long relationship with the Russian contemporary artist Viacheslav Atroshenko, it was a gracious and spacious backdrop for exhibitions, parties, recitals and receptions. He founded the Warwick Arts Trust and was chair of the Friends of Young Artists’ Platform, both set up to support young artists. Viacheslav predeceased Milton in 1996. In 2010 he met Omar Afridi, a menswear designer, who survives him.

Complementing the London house was a weekend property in Oxfordshire, a modern Japanese-inspired construction. Professing a wish to ‘not be like everyone else’, in the early 1960s Milton commissioned the architects Roy Stout and Patrick Litchfield to build New House in Shipton-under-Wychwood.

Made of Cotswold stone, the house was designed to have five linked pavilions with separate views of the Japanese garden that surrounded it. The garden, designed by Viacheslav and planted by Milton, was inspired by a trip to Kyoto with the result that the house appears to grow out of the pool that surrounds it, and has a raked gravel garden, mosses and a stream. Convivial yet unorthodox, New House was used for a scene in Stanley Kubrick’s 1971 film A Clockwork Orange

A discreet, modest and informed figure, Milton produced a range of books on architecture, language and history (Venice: The Anthology Guide) as well as on tax and international tax planning. Possibly his best-known work is Tax Havens: A World Survey. It was published in 1969 and reached seven editions. When Milton entered his eighties, age did not slow down his writing and in 2007 he published More Essays in International Tax Planning.

‘Life,’ he averred, surrounded as he was with piles of titles on an encyclopaedic range of subjects, ‘is all about learning.’

HANCOCK, PETER THOMPSON (Law 1951),

13 December 2022

Peter’s wife Sue and daughters write:

Peter Hancock was born at Braintree, Essex on 20 December 1931. He won a scholarship to Winchester and was admitted to Caius, having won an Entrance Exhibition for Classics, to read Law in 1951. After Law Part I, he switched to Theology and, following graduation as a BA in 1954, he completed his theological training at Ridley Hall in Cambridge.

Following military service with the Green Jackets, Peter was ordained a deacon in Rochester Cathedral in 1956, served his curacy at Christchurch, Beckenham and was finally ordained as a priest by Bishop Christopher Chavasse at Rochester in 1957. He then served three years as a chaplain at St Laurence College, Ramsgate, followed by five years as chaplain at Stowe School, Buckingham.

In September 1967 he became Students’ Chaplain at the British Embassy Church in Paris and Chaplain of Lyon, Grenoble and Aix-les-Bains. He was also the Anglican Chaplain for the Winter Olympics when they were held in Grenoble in 1968.

While in Paris, his routine was strenuous. Once a fortnight he would leave the city (either by car or train) on Friday, visit the congregation in Lyon on Saturday, take their morning service on Sunday morning before moving on to take the little afternoon service at Aix. The tiny and diminishing congregation there included a very elderly Miss Bains who had been a Daily Mail correspondent years before. On Sunday evening he would take the Grenoble service at 8.30 pm in the Roman Catholic centre where the local priest was very welcoming and kind. Mondays were spent visiting his Grenoble congregation and he returned to Paris on Tuesday after a round trip of 1,000 miles, which he repeated every fortnight.

When he returned to England in 1970, he was very amused to find that the clergy were complaining about having to drive 10 miles to reach their linked parishioners as the Church of England joined up rural parishes.

Peter himself became vicar at Holy Trinity, Aylesbury until he moved to Canada and was rector of St Peter’s in Montreal from October 1980 to July 1984. From 1984 to 1994, finally he served as vicar of Holy Trinity, Northwood, London.

Throughout his life, Peter loved travelling. He spoke fluent French, which he learned as a child visiting his grandparents who spent each winter in Menton. Later, family holidays were also invariably in France, and then Italy. He was devoted to his wife Sue for the 53 years of their marriage, and to their two daughters and their four grandchildren. He also maintained regular contact with numerous cousins.

He was a keen chess player and taught his grandchildren to play when they were very young. Always an enthusiastic photographer, he took up painting when he retired.

Peter died just a week before his ninety-first birthday and the village church was packed for his funeral and required extra chairs: every vicar’s dream! Sometimes, the funerals of elderly people are very sad as all their friends have died. But Peter made (and kept in touch with) many young people too. He was generous and gentle; he never complained and was always calm and positive. He was altogether a remarkable and very special man.

HENG, ALAN BOON TOCK (Heng, Alan Boon Tock (1960 Medical Sciences), 14 August 2022

The Editor is grateful to his wife Jolie Svasti Heng for much of the following information:

Born at Batavia, Java, the son of William Heng, medical practitioner of Singapore, and Merle Thian Hiang Tan, on 21 July 1941, Alan Heng was educated at the Anglo-Chinese School, Singapore, and the Leys School, Cambridge. He was admitted to Caius to read Natural Sciences in 1960 and graduated in Medicine in 1963. By 1967 he had achieved his MB and BChir. and he took up a position as Resident Medical Officer at the King Edward VII Hospital for Officers, London. Thereafter he returned to Singapore and worked both there and in Sydney, Australia until his retirement in 2001.

Heng’s colleagues urged him to continue working with them since he was an excellent family doctor who took great care of his patients. He, however, was determined to devote himself to charitable work to serve the underprivileged and the needy, in recognition of the many opportunities he had enjoyed in life. He and his wife therefore moved to northern Thailand. They had initially planned to stay only a year and then return to Sydney, but they found that there was much they could do as volunteers, and they never returned to Sydney.

They joined a group who had established a school for Tribal children living in isolated areas. Initially, it was a very small school for primary aged children in a small cottage. But Heng and his wife Jolies saw that there was a great need for it and potential for further development to help even more children who might otherwise be sold and become victims of human trafficking.

They were able to help the school grow, and it is now a government-approved school for children from kindergarten to 12th grade. Children from villages without opportunities to attend high school can now complete their education and prepare for university or vocational training in a Christian School. These were, and still are, children who were vulnerable to human trafficking. Some of the children they sponsored have attended university on graduating from the high school.

They also supported an orphanage that another couple had established in response to the HIV epidemic when orphans of parents who had died of AIDs were not accepted by even their relatives because of the great fear surrounding the illness. They formed the Light of the World Foundation to work hand in hand with such needy causes, helping them to grow and encouraging those who had started them with know-how and resources. They recognised the need to support those at the helm who had started these works and who continue to labour tirelessly on behalf of the children in their care.

Alan Heng was always grateful for the fact that his father had made it possible for him to study at Caius. Indeed, on one of the last occasions that he visited Caius, he sponsored a room in memory of William Heng: it was the room in which Alan himself had lived in his final year as an undergraduate: T9, Tree Court.

He continued to take a lively interest in the College though in recent years he was unable to travel owing to PSP (Progressive Supranuclear Palsy), which impaired him greatly. His dedication to the causes that he and his wife had embraced in moving to Thailand in 2001 remained undimmed to the end and he died in Chiang Mai. His widow Jolie Svasti Heng remains there and continues their work in encouraging and supporting those who run these vital institutions.

HOUSEHOLD, GRAHAM JOHN ARTHUR (1956 Economics), 14 April 2023

His wife Ann Household has kindly given us this account of Graham:

Graham Household was born in Harrow in 1935, where he spent his early years. He was educated at Quainton Hall preparatory school before earning a scholarship to Merchant Taylors’ School. After two years of National Service in the RAF, he secured an exhibition place at Caius, where initially he studied Modern Languages before switching to Economics. He graduated in 1959.

Graham then embarked on a long and successful career with British Gas, with spells in Sheffield, Southampton, Reading, and Croydon. His final position was Regional Sales Manager for South Eastern Gas. He retired in 1991 and moved to Eastbourne.

In addition to his professional life, Graham had a deep passion for travel, the church, local history and ancient buildings. He was a prominent member of the East Sussex

branch of the Cambridge Society, and he was actively involved in various local groups and charities in Eastbourne, leaving a lasting impact on the community there.

He married Ann Covell in 1959, and they shared almost 64 years together. He is survived by his wife, his children – Elizabeth, Charles, Richard, and Edward – and nine grandchildren.

KEMPINSKI, THOMAS MICHAEL JOHN (1957 Modern Languages), 2 August 2023

The following information is taken from Wikipedia and various published obituaries:

Thomas Michael John Kempinski was an English playwright and actor best known for his 1980 play Duet for One, which was a major success in London and New York, and much revived since. Kempinski also wrote the screenplay for the film version of Duet for One. In addition, he made minor appearances on numerous British television shows including Dixon of Dock Green and Z-Cars

Kempinski’s parents, Gerhard and Melanie Kempinski, were restaurateurs and hoteliers who ran the Kempinski hotel in Berlin. They emigrated to London in 1936 as refugees before the Second World War. Tom Kempinski was born in Hendon in 1938 but was evacuated to stay with his paternal grandparents in New York at the age of two to avoid a potential Nazi invasion of England. On his return to London, he was educated at Abingdon School from 1951 to 1956.

In 1957, he was awarded a Major Scholarship in Modern Languages at Caius, but he suffered a breakdown and left after only 10 weeks, albeit having time to join Footlights in the meantime. After Cambridge, he had a brief spell in the Maudsley Hospital in South London.

Kempinski then took up a place at RADA before moving into acting. His first role was in The Damned before moving into stage acting with Lionel Bart’s Blitz!. Other stage and film roles followed, notably in the anti-war play Dingo by Charles Wood and Gumshoe by Stephen Frears. Alongside his acting, he wrote over 40 plays, though only Duet for One enjoyed real success.

In May 1968, Kempinski joined the student revolutionaries who occupied Paris’s Odéon Theatre as part of ‘les événements’, and in 1973 he was one of the co-founders of the Trotskyite Workers Revolutionary Party. He later denounced the party but remained faithful to its cause of a workers’ revolution.

He was the partner of Frances de la Tour for 10 years and had two children with her. They survive him, as does his second wife Sarah Tingay.

LAMBELL, ANTHONY JOHN (1957 Natural Sciences), 8 February 2023

His wife Mary Lambell writes:

Tony was born in 1937 in Southgate, North London, shortly after the abdication of Edward VIII and was proud that his birth certificate bore a rare postage stamp of his short reign! During World War Two his family were evacuated to relatives near Reading on two occasions to avoid the bombs which blew out their windows. He attended the local primary school and in 1948 progressed to Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School in Barnet.

After A-levels, he was offered a place at Caius to read Natural Sciences, but before that he spent two years of National Service in the Royal Signals. He spent the second year in Cyprus at a radio transmitting site about 10 miles from the main British Army site at Episkopi. The site was surrounded by barbed wire, patrolled by dog handlers at night, and Turkish police by day. No-one was allowed off-site owing to the threat from EOKA terrorists who wanted Cyprus to come under Greek rule, ENOSIS. Tony just missed going to the Suez Canal Zone during the Suez Crisis in 1957 with a caravan of transmitting equipment, but hostilities ceased just before he was due to go.

In October 1957 Tony began his course at Caius, where he specialised in Physics, graduating with a II.1 in 1960. He remained at Caius to study for a postgraduate Diploma in Education and then became a physics teacher at Oundle School in Northamptonshire. It was at this time I got to know him, having been at Newnham for the past three years, only knowing him previously by sight. After five terms he decided teaching was not for him, and joined Mullard (later Philips) Research Labs in Salfords, near Redhill. We were married in 1963 and moved to Reigate. We had a daughter and a son.

Among other projects, he designed microwave aerials. He was a project leader of a study for an experimental microwave receiving system and leader of a team that designed and constructed the microwave receiver. He was responsible for several products which were patented, such as a pulse repetition detection system, a Doppler Radar, and a scanning microwave aerial. In 1970 Tony relocated to the M. E. L. Equipment Company in Crawley and remained until he was made redundant when the company was taken over. For the last five years of his career, he was Head of the Public Affairs Board at the Institution of Electrical Engineers in London.

Tony retired in 1997 and joined a walking group. He also became a volunteer with the National Trust. Initially, this involved testing electrical equipment; later, he was a room guide. He was active in the local church in Reigate, enjoyed holidays, especially with the family in Cornwall, and in Greece and other parts of Europe.

In 2020, shortly before the Covid pandemic, Tony was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. After fracturing his hip in a fall in 2022 he needed to be cared for in a nursing home. Finally, he succumbed to pneumonia, a few months short of our 60th wedding anniversary.

MANNING, CHRISTOPHER DONNE (1955 History), 30 August 2023

His wife Pam writes:

Chris was born in Lusaka, Zambia. Aged 13, he went by train on a four-day journey to Cape Town, South Africa where he attended Bishops College following in his uncles’ and father’s footsteps. In 1955, he went up Caius, where he spent for three very happy years. He thoroughly enjoyed rowing for the College and made lifelong friends. He studied History, English and then Law, and sat for his bar exams at the Middle Temple in 1958.

After graduating, Chris returned to Africa (then Rhodesia). He joined the Federal Attorney’s office as a Crown Counsel, which involved travelling throughout the Federation (what is now Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe). He was married in Harare, Zimbabwe in February 1960 and was happily married for 63 years.

Federation came to an end, and after pursuing many avenues as a Crown Counsel abroad, Chris decided to move his family to Johannesburg, South Africa. Unable to practise law in South Africa, he left law and joined an investment company. With four children and a wife in tow, Chris later made the difficult decision to emigrate to Montreal, Canada in 1977.

He soon joined Burns Fry, a large investment company and then spent the remainder of his career in investment banking and management. At Chase Manhattan Bank in Toronto, he headed up their investment banks across Canada. After Chase closed their North American investment banks, Chris moved into personal investment management and worked in this field until he retired at 74.

Chris was a very active person: running, cycling, gliding, camping, sailing, cross-country skiing and generally enjoying the Canadian outdoors. He was an active member of his

church throughout his life. His other hobbies were also plentiful, including photography, drawing, studying Spanish and teaching English to Mexican students upon retirement.

Chris was an adventurous, curious soul and upon retiring, he and his wife moved to Mexico for eight interesting and enriching years. He returned to Canada aged 81 to be close to family. After a brave four-year battle with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), Chris passed away peacefully at his home, surrounded by his family.

He leaves behind his wife, three daughters, one son, three sons-in-law, seven grandchildren and one great grandchild expected in May 2024, He will be sadly missed and never forgotten.

MAYBURY, PETER LAWRENCE (1946 Natural Sciences), 15 April 2022

His wife Margaret Maybury writes:

Air Commodore Peter Lawrence Maybury always described himself first as a medical doctor: his memorial reads ‘Physician, Officer and Gentleman’, which describes his ability, his intellect, his character and compassion for others. All who met him had the utmost respect for him and loved the person he was enjoying his company and quiet authority.

I had the privilege of marrying him in 2006 following the death of his first wife Helen (nee Wills). We continued a life of adventure in Suffolk, building our own home, connecting with social clubs and churches around his beloved Suffolk house, Puddledock Garden.

The advances of Peter’s Alzheimer’s disease required a determined navigation of life by us both. Until his death aged 93, we were devoted to each other. I had hoped for more years with him but sadly it was not to be. The world lost someone who, even at his end, was described to me by a fellow hospital in-patient as ‘a lovely man’.

Peter’s time at Caius 1946-9 was always remembered with fondness, from summer balls to being bumped by truncheon on the head a local police officer when he became too boisterous. He always felt humbled to have attended the same University as his father and grandfather after early education at Newlands, Seaford, Thenford House, Banbury, and Sherborne College. He later finished his medical training at University College, London, where he met Helen. Two daughters followed, Nicola and Karen.

Peter was the first of four sons for Lysander Montague and Florence Edna (nee Kaines) Maybury. He was born at Siota Gela in the British Solomon Islands in 1928 (his parents had joined the Melanesian Mission in January 1928). Living his early years in the Southern Hemisphere led to lifelong joy at the sun and respect for crocodiles after an early wild pool escapade. Leaving the Solomon Islands aged three years, Peter added drama to the journey by falling down a gangway, sailing under the new Sydney bridge,

and welcoming a second brother in New Zealand. On moving to England in 1933, the family home of Kenwood, Southsea, provided safety and stability.

Once qualified as a medical doctor (1952), advice from his father, also a physician, left him in a quandary as to his next life direction. Called to National Service in 1954 Peter chose the Royal Air Force believing he would be more of a general practitioner there than in the other military services. And he stayed with the RAF, rising through the ranks until his retirement in 1982. Thereafter he became Deputy President of the Central Medical Board 1982-1994.

Peter’s memorial stone ends with, ‘Loved, Treasured and Beloved’. It is a fitting tribute to a most remarkable man.

MULLINEAUX, ANDREW (1969 Engineering), 5 March 2023

With helpful College information from David Heathcote (1969 Engineering), his sister Janet Tomlinson writes:

Andrew Mullineaux was born in Carlisle in 1950; the family moved to Scarborough when he was eight. Andrew, who was asthmatic as a young child, thrived in the bracing sea air of the Yorkshire coast, and enjoyed the academic environment of the local high school.

After A-levels, Andrew won sponsorship from Automotive Products, based in the English Midlands, and worked for them before going up to Caius in 1969 to read Engineering. He was known uniquely to everyone at Caius as ‘Drew’.

In 1970, he was in the College crew that pushed a bed from Cambridge to London for Rag Week on a bitterly cold night: the Caius bed is believed to have come third. Andrew rowed every year for Caius: in his first year, he rowed in the 3rd boat and won his oar in the May Bumps. He was a member of the Caius First VIII in his second and third year, the 1971 Mays and the 1972 Lents crew. He also rowed the London Head of the River in the first boat in 1972.

Having taken the Engineering Part II (General) Tripos and qualified as a civil engineer, and with a marine diver qualification, Andrew found work in a range of UK locations, including Brixham, the Port of Dover, and Aberdeen. He particularly enjoyed the years he spent working on the Thames Barrier. He also oversaw part of the work on the Beckton extension to the London Docklands Light Railway.

He subsequently found employment in a variety of exotic places around the world including Qatar, Pakistan and Central Africa. By the 1990s, Andrew was working in Tanzania, where he remained for several years, even after his contract had ended, returning in 1999.

Towards the end of his time at Caius, Andrew had met Anne Butler during a summer holiday in Scarborough. Anne’s home was in Surrey, and they were married there in December 1974. Their daughter Freya was born in Aberdeen in 1977. Helena was born in 1981, and the family eventually moved to Westerham, where Freya and Helena grew up, and where Freya was married in 2000.

Andrew and Anne divorced in 2001, and Anne died from cancer in 2010. Andrew had struggled with alcohol abuse since his mid-twenties, which seriously affected his health in the second half of his life. In 2010 he secured accommodation in a retirement home in Blackheath, London. Over time, he gained a reputation there for kindness and helpfulness over practical matters and by the end of his life he was held in real affection by his neighbours and local friends.

After a fall, Andrew was admitted to Lewisham hospital, where he received outstanding care. He died peacefully on the morning of 5 March 2023, in the company of one of his sisters, who was able to say goodbye on behalf of his friends and family, including his four granddaughters, who knew him as Grumpa.

NORRIS,

GEOFFREY (1956 Natural Sciences: Geology), 26 June 2023

Geoffrey Norris was born at Romford, Essex, the son of a ship broker. He was educated at the Royal Liberty School, Romford and admitted to Caius with a Minor Entrance Scholarship for Natural Sciences.

Having graduated with a First in Geology, he was awarded a Harkness Scholarship and the Frank Smart Studentship which enabled him to gain his PhD in 1964. In 1962 he had already worked on the New Zealand Geological Survey as a palaeobotanist (palynologist) . He took up a postdoctoral fellowship at McMaster in 1964 and worked as a Senior Research Scientist at the Pan-American Petroleum Corporation in 1965. In 1967 he was appointed as an Assistant Professor of Geology at the University of Toronto, where he remained for the rest of his career.

He became an important leader in his Department, serving two terms as Chair 1980-90. As Chair, he made several notable and forward-thinking appointments of faculty and staff and played a key role in the move from the Mining Building into the Earth Sciences Centre in 1989. He was heavily involved in the design of the new building and ensuring that it would meet Earth Sciences faculty needs at the time of the move but also in future generations. The design of the new building and moving into it was a massive undertaking and it proved highly successful. He retired in 2003 and continued to be active with his research as an Emeritus Professor.

Norris was highly regarded for his research in the areas of palynology, micropaleontology and biostratigraphy. He was a pioneer in the early study of fossil dinoflagellates and

contributed significantly to their modern understanding as vital tools in biostratigraphy and paleoenvironmental analysis. His lengthy publication record includes important contributions on dinoflagellate systematics, acritarchs, Cretaceous and Cenozoic palynofloras, and paleoclimatic inference.

He also published a monograph on the Mesozoic geology of the Moose River Basin and co-authored the highly cited and the still standard guide Quaternary Pollen and Spores of the Great Lakes Region. His work nimbly transcended different geological time periods. Over his lengthy career, he inspired and mentored many students and peers with his enthusiasm and innovative ideas.

He died quietly and peacefully at home with his wife, Anne, by his side after a sudden onset of cancer. He is much missed by his children, Grant, Theresa, Brett, and Sonia; and his dog, whom he loved dearly, friends both in Christian Island and Florida, and by his countless geological friends.

PADFIELD, DAVID CHARLES (1987 Natural Sciences), 13 July 2023

His wife Clare writes: Dave was born in 1969 in Devizes, Wiltshire. His mother Sue, and father, Richard were teachers at Dean Close School, Cheltenham and in due course, Dave was educated there. Dave was a keen sportsman and was duly awarded school colours for rugby, cricket and hockey. In 1987 Dave gained a place at Caius, initially reading Natural Sciences, switching in his final year to read Computer Science, achieving a first-class honours degree alongside a reputation as an excellent College hockey player.

In 1991 after working in London, Dave returned to Cambridge to study for a PhD in Artificial Intelligence. He played in the 1994 Hockey Varsity match gaining a full blue. In 1995 he left Cambridge for family reasons, without submitting his thesis. However, he was able to draw on his research in later years during his successful career in the mobile telecommunications industry. Working initially for Motorola, he then moved to Nokia Siemens and most recently worked for Viavi, as a Chief Scientist in mobile network optimisation.

In 1996 Dave’s daughter Alice was born, to be followed in 1999 by a son Tom and a second son, Luke, in 2000. The family has lived for many years in Marlborough where despite his busy career, Dave over the years found time to be a primary school governor, first team player and juniors coach at Marlborough Hockey Club, long-distance ultra-

runner, enthusiastic badminton player, and a sought-after mixed tennis doubles partner. As a gifted self-taught musician, he also played keyboard and guitar in a local band. He was a loving husband, son and brother, an adored dad and a loyal friend.

Dave was diagnosed with cancer in 2019 and throughout four years of treatment, Dave remained stoical. He rarely complained and was incredibly brave. Since his untimely death, his family has received some wonderful tributes from friends and work colleagues across the globe: all invariably comment on Dave’s unfailing kindness, while many mention his mentoring and leadership skills.

Dave’s death was commemorated at a well-attended memorial service on 3 August 2023 at St Mary’s Church Marlborough. A family friend, The Revd. Andrew StuddertKennedy conducted the service and, in his address, noted the threads that were consistent throughout Dave’s life: his thoughtfulness, his modesty, his intelligence, his high principles, and his complete commitment and devotion to his family. He will be missed immensely by all who were lucky to have known him.

PRESTON BELL, JOHN (1951 English),

His son Rupert writes:

John Preston Bell was the last surviving officer of his regiment, the 8th Hussars, to have fought in the Korean War.

Born on 9 August 1931, John grew up near Sevenoaks in Kent, and attended St Andrew’s School, Eastbourne, and Marlborough College, after which he signed up with the 8th Hussars for National Service. It was only after doing so that he found the regiment was preparing to take part in the Korean War as part of the UN force, an eventuality he accepted with good humour. He saw active service 1950-51, including participation in the crucial Battle of the Imjin River. He returned with a sense of great respect for the men under his command as a very junior officer, many photographs that would later become of historical interest, and a dislike of balloons and sudden noises.

Returning from Korea, he spent three very happy years at Caius, singing in the College Choir under Paddy Hadley, and finding an outlet for his love of acting with the Footlights. A highlight was a production of the revue Out of the Blue in 1954 alongside the likes of Leslie Bricusse (1952 Modern Languages), Jonathan Millar and Frederick Raphael, which they took to the Phoenix Theatre in London. He became great and lifelong friends with John Sanders (1952 Music, later organist at Gloucester Cathedral) and Brian Trowell (1950 Modern Languages and Music, later Professor of Music at Oxford).

After a spell working in Singapore, he returned to England, marrying and settling in Kent. His career took him into advertising, making the most of his skills as copywriter and artist, eventually running a small agency, John Hart, which specialised in charity clients. He ran the local church choir for many years and passed on to his family a love of that musical tradition. In retirement, he took on projects to edit private editions of books, including the memoirs of two Caians: notably Peter Kerpner (1946 Modern Languages) and Peter Adams (1963 Modern Languages).

His life was transformed in 2001 by an invitation to attend ceremonies in South Korea marking the 50th anniversary of the Korean War. Meeting people who told him how the country had been rescued by the UN and veterans like him, and seeing the country and its people flourishing, gave him a new purpose to keep afresh memories of the ‘forgotten war’, and a conviction that, after all, it had been worth it. He made dear Korean friends who treated him as family and kept up a loving correspondence.

He was a man of strong convictions and great wit, who loved nothing more than making others laugh and playing practical jokes on those who thought too much of themselves. He had an enviable recall of the poetry he loved, especially A E Housman, which he would quote to his nurses, in between jokes, until the end.

He did not lead a prominent public life, but he was an honest and interesting soul. He loved Paddy Hadley, who told him the College needed ‘decent chaps’ like him, and he enjoyed keeping up with Caius, attending a few reunion dinners. He inspired his son Rupert to apply to Cambridge and, while Rupert ended up in Magdalene, he often visited Caius and imagined his father’s time there.

He died peacefully at home and leaves a widow, Susan, two sons, Max and Rupert, five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

RADCLIFFE, DAVID JAMES (1954 HISTORY), 21 February 2023

David Radcliffe was born in Wivenhoe, near Colchester in Essex, on 28 October 1935. He was the son of Walter Radcliffe (1922 Medicine), a doctor, and the younger brother of Anthony Frank Radcliffe (1952 English). He was educated at Oundle, like his brother, and was admitted to Caius to read History in 1954. It was in Cambridge that he met Shanthi Wickramasinghe, a Sri Lankan student at Girton, whom he married in1959, entering a union that endured for 63 years.

Following his graduation, David studied for the Diploma in Education at the University of London. There followed appointments at the Teachers’ Training College, Katsina, Northern Nigeria (1958-9), at the Katsina Provincial Secondary School (1959-61), and at King Edward VII School Taiping, Malaya (1961), where he became Senior History Master in 1962. Two years later, he relocated to the University of Wisconsin as a Fellow

attached to the Programme in Comparative Tropical History in the Department of History, where he gained his PhD in 1970. The previous year he had already accepted an Assistant Professorship in the Department of History of Education in the University of Western Ontario. He had moved to London, Ontario with his wife and daughter in 1967; his second daughter was born there.

For nearly four decades until his retirement in May 2001, David Radcliffe served in various leadership roles at Althouse College of Education, Western University, where he was a much-valued teacher and scholar. He is remembered in his field as an advocate for the integration of cultural context, received knowledge, and folk wisdom in education systems around the world. This reflected his doctoral and ongoing field work in Northern Nigeria and Malaysia.

David Radcliffe was a lifelong student of the relationship between the world’s education systems and the world’s religions. He was also an avid student of classical, jazz and world music, and an accomplished amateur musician, proficient at the French horn and a variety of other instruments. In retirement, he continued playing his beloved music around the world with the New Horizons Band, and continued teaching and learning with the Society for Learning in Retirement. He is remembered with much love by his many friends and family as a kind, gentle, thoughtful, wise, and loving man with a delightful –and sometimes wicked –sense of humour.

His later years were greatly eased by the caring and committed team members of Cheshire Independent Living Services. They became a part of David’s family, and they described him as a ‘such a light’.

He is survived by his wife Shanthi, his daughters Sara Radcliffe of Port Townsend, Washington, USA and Anjali Radcliffe of Chiswick; and by his sister, Jeanne (Jon) McIntosh of Over Stowey, Somerset.

RILEY, ANTHONY (ANT/TONY) WILLIAM (1949 Engineering), 26 FEBRUARY 2023

His daughter Clare Turner sent us this piece written by Ant Riley himself: Anthony William Riley, known in the family as Ant but more widely as Tony, was born in Ilkley, Yorkshire on 26 July 1929 and he wondered recently whether he would achieve life in 11 decades.

He had the most idyllic childhood in rural Yorkshire with every pursuit available and a classic professional education: preparatory school, Oundle School, National Service and Caius following in the footsteps of his father, Donald Riley (1918 Medicine). His engineering degree was adequate, but he did get a blue.

A career in engineering followed, postgraduate pupillage and then into the world of power generation, rising up to the position of managing director of a company concerned with the conversion of about 10% of Britain to the use of natural gas. This work was completed in the late 1970s and aged 50 he moved with what he called total indulgence to become Secretary of Woking Golf Club.

In 1960 he married Jean Donaldson, a nurse trained at St Thomas’ Hospital London, where his father, sister Gill and eventually their daughter Clare also trained – he considered himself the odd one out in the succession! He enjoyed the most wonderful partnership with Jean, and their two children Clare and Michael with their marvellous spouses, Ben and Corinna, have given them great pleasure of seven grandchildren and, so far eight great grandchildren.

The golf period had of course started well prior to 1979. Membership of Ilkley, a Cambridge blue, and several successive clubs around the country as work kept him on the move, culminated at Roehampton where he was captain in 1972. It was the world provided by the secretaryship of Woking Golf Club that drove his later life and the friends and fun the work provided made for the happiest of times.

After his final retirement he was asked to join the committee of the Senior Golfers’ Society and later to be its captain in 2002 when he played some 70 matches around Britain for them during the year March to October.

Moving to Witney to be near their daughter in 2015 after having become too stiff for golf, the bowls club and Probus provided continuing interest and his carpenter’s workshop, transferred to his daughter’s garage, allowed modest woodwork to continue.

In his 90th year he wrote a 10,000-word book on his time at Woking Golf Club which was well received by its members.

ROITH, OSCAR CB DSc FREng FIMechE FRSA (1945 Mechanical Sciences), 6 February 2023

Oscar Roith’s life and career were shaped by his experience at Cambridge where he held a scholarship at Caius to read Mechanical Sciences. Oscar was always a ‘hands-on’, practical man. This reflected the emphasis of the Cambridge Engineering curriculum and the breadth of experience it delivered, from the latest science, with an emphasis on its applications, to the philosophy of Bertrand Russell and an encouragement to understand the impact of the applied sciences on society in general. He was inspired by the wealth creation possible through the application of the latest science.

At Cambridge he formed a lifelong friendship with medical student, Francis Rutter (1945 Natural Sciences). Through Francis, he added sailing to his sporting interests of

rugby and cricket. He often reflected that what he learned about tides and the power of wind and waves while sailing with Francis contributed to his later success solving the engineering problems of working offshore.

After his graduation with a First in 1948, Frank Kearton recruited Oscar to the Chemical Engineering Department of Courtaulds. Kearton remained a mentor for the rest of his life and shaped Oscar’s future not least by introducing him to his wife. In later years, as Lord Kearton, he appointed Oscar Advisor to the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee.

In 1952 Oscar joined the Central Engineering Department of Distillers. Here he was involved in all aspects of major plant construction, including Process Design, Project Engineer, Resident Engineer and Project Manager. He also formed a lifelong friendship with the young Patrick Jenkin. In 1983, as Secretary of State for Industry, Jenkin selected him to be his Chief Engineer and Scientist. They worked together here and at the Foundation for Science and Technology where Jenkin was Chairman and Oscar, Deputy Chairman.

What qualified Oscar for these later roles was his engineering expertise. At Distillers he was involved in the design, construction, and commission of the first plant to create acetic acid from petroleum refinery products rather than molasses. This was built in Hull and its success took Oscar to his first management role in charge of engineering for the Hull works.

Oscar and his family lived and worked in Hull from 1962 until 1974. His management skills were sharpened by developing good relationships with the various trade unions; something he accomplished by being visible and accessible on site. He won the ‘fastest drinking of a pint of beer’ competition, took his young daughter to visit the works frequently, and stood on the terraces to watch the local rugby league team.

His engineering ingenuity came to the fore when he ensured that the works ran as normal during the three-day week caused by the miners’ strike in 1974 by using North Sea gas instead of coal. His practical approach took him into partnership with St John Ambulance to ensure that all the employees were aware of the safety aspects of working on a chemical plant and that there were sufficient trained first aiders on every shift. His broader support for the organisation ultimately led to the award of a St John Ambulance medal.

BP acquired Distillers Chemicals in the late 1960s and Oscar was placed on the fast-track management development programme, attending courses at the Administrative Staff College at Henley, the Geneva Centre d’Etudes Industrielles, and Columbia University. By 1974 Oscar was at BP Chemicals Head Office as Engineering and Technical Manager moving upwards through BP until he became Chief Executive Engineering for BP International.

He contributed to the design of engineering solutions to deliver North Sea oil and gas more profitably and more safely. He also became involved in natural resource extraction worldwide. The building of the Alaska pipeline and design of the systems to recover oil under the frozen Alaskan sea were a particular challenge, and one that he relished. One of his last projects for BP, and one of his favourites, was the development of Das Island off the coast of Abu Dhabi from a small sandbank into a major oil and gas collection and processing location with its own airport.

After Oscar retired from BP in 1981, he devoted himself to the promotion of scientific training and education in the UK. Appointed Chief Engineer and Scientist at the Department of Trade and Industry, he was charged with reviewing Government Research Bodies and developing relationships with the EU to improve the retention of scientists in the UK and the better application of their skills. As Deputy President, and in 1987 President, of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, he highlighted the need for the UK to retain the most able scientists and engineers.

He worked tirelessly to improve standards of design, foreground the need for better safety guidelines, improve education and training, and encourage children to enjoy science and technology. among other concerns. He also sat on various company and institutional boards and, when the polytechnics were transformed into universities after 1992, he played a role in shaping their engineering programmes.

Oscar lost his wife Irene in December 2022 after 70 years of marriage. He died two months later. He is survived by his daughter, two grandchildren, three and nearly four great grandchildren, and his two sisters.

(1984 Law PhD), 11 March 2023

His wife Annie Chang has sent us the following information: Ramasamy Raman Sethu was born in Klang, Selangor, Malaysia on 3 July 1945. He was educated locally and then attended Auckland University.

He was called to the English Bar by Inner Temple 1968 and obtained the LLB in 1969 from London University. He was admitted to the Malayan Bar in 1969 and to the Singapore Bar in 1973. After a few years in active practice, he pursued postgraduate studies and obtained his LLM in law with distinction from Auckland University, New Zealand. He was admitted to Caius in October 1984 and was awarded an MLitt in 1989.

His subsequent career as a Barrister in the Malaysian courts was distinguished. He appeared in many landmark cases which were reported in law journals and various law reviews. He also presented numerous papers at seminars and conferences organised by professional bodies. In 1986 he published a notable textbook: Rent Control Legislation in Malaysia (Singapore: Butterworths).

SETHU, RAMASWAMY RAMAN

Sethu was Secretary of the Malaysian Bar from 1980-1982. He was the first Chair of the Kuala Lumpur Bar and served for two terms from 1992 to 1994. He was parttime lecturer at the University of Malaya for Civil Procedure (1983-1984) and for Land Dealings (1988-1989).

Throughout his career, Sethu had frequently been a strong critic of professional standards of the Malaysian Bar. He often called out its practices in newspaper articles, drawing attention to irregularities regarding clients’ interest, solicitors’ accounts, among many other areas.

Sethu was a simple man whose clients deeply appreciated the respect he showed to them. He had suffered ill health for many years and he lived quietly at home from his retirement to his death at the age of 77. He is survived by his wife, his son and his daughter.

SIMPSON, ROBERT DAVID (1959 Natural Sciences), 14 May 2023

His daughter Paula Fountain writes:

Robert will always be remembered as a hardworking, diligent, diagnostic doctor, who always looked for the best in everyone he met. Born in Carmarthenshire, he was educated at Carmarthen Grammar school, where he accomplished numerous sporting achievements. In 1959 he was admitted to Caius to read Natural Sciences and completed his medical training at St Mary’s, London.

In 1970 he travelled to South Africa to work as a ‘flying doctor’ gaining experience of remote community medicine and the A&E department at Johannesburg. On his return to England, he worked at the John Radcliffe Hospital as a Senior Registrar and subsequently as a consultant endocrinologist St Richards Hospital, Chichester.

It was here that Rob settled with his wife Monica and two children and began to have an impact on his community, building a new diabetic centre, raising funds for a hospital library and student centre, as well as for the local Rotary.

To the end, Robert had very good memories of Caius and was pleased to be able to visit again in early 2023. He was delighted to sit in the Chapel and in Hall. It was an emotional and enjoyable day for us all, helped enormously by the wonderful staff that greeted us and allowed us to use the lift used by Stephen Hawking, for which we were very grateful.

Colleagues and friends will recall Robert’s warmth and dedication, his ability to soothe and advise those who were ill, as well as his modesty and charm. He was a devoted and loving husband and is sadly missed by his two children and five grandchildren.

STAMP, TREVOR CHARLES BOSWORTH (Lord) (1953 Medicine), 20 October 2022

The following obituary appeared in The Times on 7 December 2022:

Trevor Stamp was a prominent physician and specialist in metabolic bone disease who researched the link between sunlight and vitamin D. He also championed the use of hormone replacement therapy in protecting women against osteoporosis-related fractures.

Suggestions of a link between sunlight and vitamin D in preventing rickets, a dangerous softening of the bones in children, date back to the 1820s. Yet for generations of youngsters, bitter-tasting cod liver oil was perceived as the best way to keep the condition at bay.

Trevor, who spent 25 years as director of the department of bone and mineral metabolism at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (RNOH), in Stanmore, Middlesex, set out to demonstrate that sunlight is indeed the answer, contradicting some researchers who insisted that its effects are minimal and suggested that diet was more important.

During his research Stamp, a pioneer in the study of metabolic bone disease, discovered that previous studies had measured vitamin D levels in British patients only at the autumn and spring equinoxes. He liked to describe having his “eureka moment” while working late at night in the laboratory plotting the rise and fall of vitamin D levels during the year on graph paper. Suddenly, he realised the reason the levels were the same at the two equinoxes was because they were on the way up in the spring and on the way down in the autumn.

In 1974 Stamp and his colleague Joan Round published their report on the subject in the journal Nature, which included a precise index of fluctuating vitamin D levels in 198 subjects of different ages and sexes that was measured over two years. They concluded that “summer sunlight in Britain is a major determinant of vitamin D nutrition in Britain”, a view that is now widely accepted in the medical community.

Trevor Charles Bosworth Stamp was born in London on 18 September 1935 and christened in the Henry VII chapel at Westminster Abbey. He was the elder of two

sons of Trevor Stamp (1926 Medicine), a doctor, bacteriologist and sometime president of the Liberal Party, and his American-born wife Frances (née Bosworth); his brother Richard became an orchestral conductor.

Their grandfather, Josiah, the 1st Lord Stamp, was a noted economist. He was killed in an air raid in April 1941 along with his wife, Olive, and son and heir, Wilfred. The House of Lords decided that, just as with the 1925 Law of Property Act, when two people died ‘in circumstances rendering it uncertain which of them survived the other’, the elder was deemed to have died first. This meant that Wilfred ‘succeeded momentarily’ to the title of 2nd Lord Stamp before it passed to his brother, Trevor, who became an active figure in the House of Lords.

Stamp spent the war years in the US and afterwards attended Claremont Prep School in East Sussex before following the family tradition by going to the Leys School, Cambridge. He studied Medicine at Caius, took an MSc at Yale University, and completed his medical training at St Mary’s Medical School, London, representing the School at rugby. In 1963 he married Anne Churchill, a charge nurse at St Mary’s (and no relation to the former prime minister). The marriage was dissolved in 1971 and he is survived by their two daughters, Cathy, a homemaker, and Emma, who works in social care. In 1975 he married Carol Russell, who worked in advertising. That was also dissolved, and he is survived by their daughter, Lucinda, an equine vet, and a son, Nicholas, who works in clean energy finance and becomes the 5th Lord Stamp.

After working at University College, London, under Charles Dent, a leading figure in bone metabolism in the UK, Stamp joined the RNOH, remaining there until 1999. Another of his collaborators was Laurence Baker, a specialist in rickets with whom in 1979 he discovered a genetically inherited rickets condition that would become known as Stamp-Baker syndrome.

Stamp championed the increased use of hormone replacement therapy in protecting women against osteoporosis-related fractures and in 1993 the RNOH became the first NHS hospital to invest in a mobile bone scanning service, with Stamp urging all women at risk of osteoporosis to seek a referral.

The peerage had been created in 1938 for his grandfather and Stamp succeeded to the title on the death of his father in 1987. He had no political affiliation, never made a maiden speech and rarely voted, but instead made his mark on the upper house by representing their lordships at bridge. Likewise, potential medical collaborators were often assessed for their bridge-playing capabilities. He left the Lords under the reforms of 1999.

He was a dedicated pianist, an aficionado of Glyndebourne and a keen sportsman, playing tennis throughout his life. He was a patron of the Paget’s Association, which provides support to those affected by Paget’s disease, a condition that affects bone renewal.

Stamp had almost 150 papers or articles published in medical journals, including the British Medical Journal and The Lancet. ‘Grey hairs, false teeth and bad bones’ was an intriguingly titled report by him published in the latter in 1995 in which he explained how prematurely greying hair and the loss of teeth could be harbingers of future bone conditions. Dentists and hairdressers, he wrote, may be able ‘to diagnose osteoporosis prior to the loss of a debilitating amount of bone’.

TAYLOR, GARY ROBERT JOHN (1988 Medical Sciences), 23 June 2023

His mother Mrs Jean Taylor has kindly given us this account of him, with contributions from Claire Peggs at IFIS:

Gary Taylor died on 23 June 2023 shortly after he was diagnosed with cancer, aged 52. He was born in Sheffield and moved, as a small child, to Darlington, Co. Durham. He was educated at Yarm School in North Yorkshire.

Aged only 15, he gained a BA in Music as an External Student of the University of Cambridge University. He subsequently studied Medicine at Caius, graduating with a BA in Pathology. He pursued his medical career at John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford but took a different path in 1991 following the death of his father Colin. He joined the Readingbased International Food Information Service (IFIS), a not-for-profit publisher serving universities, food companies, government agencies and research bodies, in 1999.

The academic skills he had developed in Cambridge served him well throughout his long career at IFIS. He joined as a Scientific Information Officer sourcing content, indexing, proofreading and supporting other departments. His kind, supportive, hardworking nature saw him excel at IFIS. At the time of his death, he was Senior Content Manager, showcasing his unique all-rounder skills: excellent scientific knowledge and application, combined with a great ability to understand and take on the technical aspects of database production. He was able to explain complex matters simply and always made time for others who often sought his support as they developed within their roles.

He educated and nurtured colleagues and drove key developments in the IFIS databases. He also enjoyed travelling for work, particularly to India to help train the IFIS partner company there. His Indian colleagues and friends remember him for his dedication to excellence, his quiet professionalism, and a willingness to share his extensive knowledge with colleagues. On hearing of Gary’s death, his colleagues in India sent a moving video tribute.

Gary was conscientious, precise, thoughtful, patient, hard-working. He always delivered and went above and beyond. He was absolutely key to IFIS, gently at the heart of things and a constant, reassuring support. But more than that, he was such a special person with so many interests. He was interested in and cared about others, too. He was a very intelligent, fun, giving person who is greatly missed.

TAYLOR, STEPHEN RIGBY (1951 Economics and Law), 12 April 2023

His daughter Alison Newton writes:

Stephen was born in Watford, the youngest of three children. At six years old he went to boarding school. When the second world war broke out, at the age of eight, his whole school was evacuated to Herefordshire, where they had no electricity or gas, and little heat. During the holidays, Watford did not escape the bombing and Stephen would lie awake at night listening out for the bombs.

Stephen’s mother sadly died when he was just 13. A few years later his father went on to remarry. Stephen wase educated at Haileybury and Imperial Service College. After completing his A-levels, he did two years National Service in the Royal Artillery, where the sound of explosions caused tinnitus and was a precursor to increasing deafness over the years.

Following his National Service Stephen went to Caius to study Economics and Law. He was a keen rower and took part in the Cambridge Bumps. In 1953 Stephen took his fiancée Gene on a trip around Europe for five weeks with Gene riding pillion on Stephen’s two-stroke motorbike. This was virtually unheard of in those days and in 1999 Stephen wrote in an article for the Cambridge Alumni Magazine that this was considered very avant-garde, and for a short period it greatly increased his street-cred with his peers!

After graduation, he trained to become an accountant and had a successful career in this field, travelling the world as part of his job. He married Gene in July 1954; they had four children, 11 grandchildren and three great grandchildren.

Stephen retired in 1992 and he and his wife took the opportunity to travel extensively. He suffered two strokes in his early 70s but, despite this, he continued to live a full and active life for many years. He was a member of organisations such as Probus and U3A.

Stephen was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. His wife died on 21 December 2022; he passed away in hospital peacefully on 12 April 2023.

TRICE, JOHN EDWARD (1959 History and Law), 1 December 2022

Peter Cowell (1960) writes:

John was born in 1941 in Pembroke Dock and attended Pembroke Grammar School there, becoming Head Boy, and it was his headmaster, Roland Mathias, who encouraged him to apply to Caius, where he read History, and then Law. The Exhibition he won to Caius was a source of pride to his family, the school and to others in the town. He continued his connection with and loyalty to the College up to his death. His other great loyalties were to the University of Aberystwyth, where he taught law from 1966 to

1989, and to St John’s Church in his hometown of Pembroke Dock, where he was buried among his family in Llanion Cemetery, and in the presence of many friends made during his time at Caius; the College rarely escaped mention by him in any conversation.

He was a prolific writer of letters over the years to his very wide circle of friends, and there were few in which he did not mention Philip Grierson, who interviewed him when he applied, and whom he would visit on his journeys to Cambridge; and Quentin Skinner, with whom he was supervised in their first year (‘are all at Cambridge as brilliant as this?’ he thought in his first term, as he told me later); and Cedric Harris whose early death in 1996 he greatly lamented and whose obituary he wrote for The Caian. John wrote an account of his time at Caius, which he sent to the College Archivist (and to me); it is a wonderfully evocative reminder of life at Caius over 60 years ago. In later years, he became a considerable expert on Parian Ware porcelain, of which he had an important collection which he bequeathed to the Fitzwilliam Museum.

When, due to ill health, he ceased to teach at Aberystwyth he was given honorary status. He had taught mainly Land Law and Administrative Law (of which he had had practical experience during his articles with the Town Clerk of Manchester) and he was co-author with Zaim Nedjati of English and Continental Systems of Administrative Law (Amsterdam/Oxford: North-Holland Publishing Co., 1978). His most enduring legacy was to be the prime mover in the establishment of The Cambrian Law Review, which gained an international circulation and reputation.

He taught his students aesthetics as well as law: his room looked out over the sea, and discussions on law were often interrupted when he paused and asked them to consider the beauty of the autumn sunsets. He was a great listener of classical music. It was fitting that so many of his former colleagues from Aberystwyth attended his funeral on a mid-winter day in Pembroke Dock.

UNDERHILL, HAROLD WADE (1948 Geography) 23 February 2023

The following text draws substantially on an account of Harry Underhill’s life by his eldest son, Adrian.

Harry Underhill was born on 16 September 1926 in Srinagar, in the region of Jammu and Kashmir. His father Guilford was a major in the Indian army and his mother, Lilian Agnes Wade, had gone to India as a nurse in a mission hospital, treating the Indigenous people of the region. They were married in 1924 and Harry’s sister Stella was born in 1925.

On Guilford’s retirement in 1930, the family returned to the UK and settled in Farnham. Harry went to school at Eastbourne College and, during the war, was evacuated to Radley College near Oxford. As the war ended, he was drafted and saw active service in Greece and then Palestine, where he was part of the British forces involved in the

Palestine War 1947-1948. In May 1948, the British Army departed leaving the Jews and the Arabs to fight it out. Harry saw what was going to happen and the ensuing tragedy impacted his beliefs and actions in later life.

He originally intended to follow his father into the army but his tent companion in Palestine, Patrick Ballingall, persuaded him to abandon the idea. After being demobbbed, Harry married his childhood neighbour Rosemary Phillips. They moved to Cambridge in 1948 where he read Geography at Caius, and where their first son Adrian was born in 1949.

After University, British government recruiters visiting Cambridge offered him a fouryear post in (British) colonial Kenya. Following a motorcycle trip with Rosemary to Algeria, he went to Nairobi in 1951 and was charged with locating water for irrigation in various parts of the country. Rosemary joined him in 1952 and their second son Nic was born in July that year, which was also the year when the Mau Mau rebellion began. Harry’s job sometimes involved a week or two away on safari. Rosemary felt unsafe left alone with two young sons and a loaded pistol under her pillow, and she and the children spent one of those Kenya years back in Farnham.

The Kenya experience was a further lesson in colonialism and the politics of water. It was also the launch of Harry’s career as a hydrologist. In 1955 the family returned to the UK, moving into a house near Coulsdon, Surrey, and Harry took a job at Imperial College lecturing on the theory of hydrology. He did not enjoy academic life, nor did he feel he did it well. He much preferred hands-on experience,

In 1956 a third son, Tim, was born, and for three or four years the family were able to catch up with life in the UK. In 1959, Harry took up a field post in Libya, where the family had a house a few hundred yards from the sea and were introduced to the joys of daily sea swimming, snorkeling in blue clear water to see life under the waves, visiting the Roman cities of Abraha and Leptis Magna, and experiencing the desert.

At the end of his three-year contract, Harry joined, the UN Food and Agricultural Organisation. He was offered a job in Jordan and in 1962 the family moved to Amman. The FAO gave him long-term stability, a clear work structure, and the setting in which to grow a global network of like-minded people. Harry’s interest in archaeology was stimulated by the layers of human history still very much in evidence, and the family visited Jerusalem, Jericho, the Dead Sea, Petra, Aqaba, among other places. Once again, the international politics of water came to the fore with the question of who should have the water from the Jordan River.

The next FAO postings were to Mauritius in 1965, where plentiful rainfall ran straight into the sea, and to Crete in 1968. In 1970, Harry moved to Rome to manage other global projects at the FAO headquarters. It was here that he joined the Samaritans, with whom he volunteered for nearly 25 years. In Rome and later Hastings, he also joined

the left-wing Human Rights Group within FAO (which was frowned on by the Director General’s office) and made trips to FAO water projects around the world.

Harry retired from the FAO in 1986 and taught English in China for a year, at the University of Hydrology in Nanjing. After relishing Chinese culture and food and finding how Christian worship was both permitted and not permitted, he went to stay with friends in Japan, returning to the UK on the Trans-Siberian Express.

He then lived in part of the coach house at Newstead Abbey, Byron’s ancestral home, until 1990, before moving to Hastings to be nearer to his family. He enjoyed 37 years of retirement, during which he got to know life in England and with his family and grandchildren, and great grandchildren, which gave him great pleasure. He also often went to stay for a few days with his sister Stella at the old family home in Farnham.

A major focus for Harry during his retirement was developing his spiritual awareness and practice. When the Dalai Lama visited the UK, Harry attended the lectures and the course that he offered. He joined the Hastings Quaker meeting, rejoined the Samaritans, and was active in CANA (Christians Awakening to a New Awareness), in the Churches Fellowship for Psychical and Spiritual Studies, the Chalice Well Trust, the Iona Community, and others. He also worked for the Hastings Mediation Service and was a supporter of the local UN Association.

Most of these interests continued well after Harry moved in 2012 to Bernhard Baron, a Quaker care home in Polegate. He received compassionate and devoted care from the Bernhard Baron staff throughout his final months and it was a great comfort to him to be surrounded by friends in his dying days. He had prepared himself well for dying, which he did peacefully on 23 February 2023. He is survived by Adrian and Tim, two of his three sons, and by his sister.

VENDRELL, FRANCESC MIQUEL (1964 History, Affiliated Student), 27 November 2022

From the obituary by Jonathan Steel in The Guardian, 5 December 2022:

Francesc Vendrell was one of the longest serving and most successful United Nations peace negotiators of modern times. He helped to promote the disbanding of the CIA-backed ‘contras’ in 1989 who were terrorising parts of Nicaragua in a campaign to overthrow the Sandinista government. He held secret meetings with the Cuban president, Fidel Castro, while brokering a deal between the rightwing US-supported government of El Salvador and the nationalist guerrilla movement, the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front, which led to a ceasefire and free elections in 1992.

He played a major role in ending Indonesia’s bloody occupation of East Timor and organising a referendum for independence in 1999. For the next two years, as the UN

secretary general’s envoy to Afghanistan, Vendrell launched the first contacts between the Taliban government and the Northern Alliance of regional warlords. At a time when the UN was often pilloried by politicians and much of the media as irrelevant or a costly minor actor, Vendrell’s successes in Central America, East Timor and Afghanistan deserved more recognition.

He did not like the word ‘mediator’ to describe his speciality as a diplomat. It sounded too interventionist. In a series of post-retirement interviews for the journal Asian Affairs, Vendrell told David Loyn, a veteran BBC correspondent, that he preferred to tell warring parties that his job was to provide ‘good offices’ or simply say: ‘We’re here to help.’ He made clear that he did not represent the UN Security Council or the General Assembly, but the Secretary General.

This low-key, even soft-seeming approach was enhanced by Vendrell’s ferocious energy in insisting on meeting all parties in a conflict and listening carefully and empathetically to their views. He had a formidable memory for detail. But he could also be outspoken in his suggestions for parties to modify or change their stands.

In the Central America peace negotiations, the man who led the process was Alvaro de Soto, a Peruvian diplomat who was the UN Secretary General’s personal representative. Vendrell was his deputy. In De Soto’s words, ‘Francesc was not always at the negotiations themselves. But he was an invaluable adviser who was extremely useful when there was a serious roadblock since he knew all the players. He was a shaper of the talks and very good at detecting differences between leaders. He knew how to conduct an X-ray of the different groups.’

Vendrell was born on 15 June 1940 into an upper-middle class family in Barcelona. His father, Francesc, was a lawyer who became the city’s deputy mayor in the preFranco period. His mother, Matilda (nee Vendrell), was his father’s cousin. Francesc Jr gained a law degree from the University of Barcelona. After joining a political party, the Unio Democratic de Catalunya, and campaigning with its leader across Europe denouncing Franco’s dictatorship. Vendrell moved to Britain. He studied law at King’s College London and for an MA in modern history at Caius.

He took a teaching post at the University of Papua New Guinea and joined the UN in 1968. His first job was on the island of Bougainville (Melanesia), but he soon transferred to Unitar (the UN Institute for Training and Research) in Geneva. He worked there for several years and was thrilled when he managed to switch to the UN’s political wing, first in the department of decolonisation in Geneva and then at the UN’s headquarters in New York.

His big career chance came in 1986 when he was appointed director for Europe and the Americas in the Secretary General’s Research and Information Office. This led to his role in ending the civil wars in Central America. He and his boss, De Soto, were proud to have got the UN directly involved. As Vendrell put it, De Soto and he brought an end

to the Monroe Doctrine, under which the US had for almost two centuries forbidden outside powers from intervening in its backyard in Latin America.

In 1992, Vendrell was appointed director for special political assignments in the new department of political affairs. He led a mission to Armenia and Azerbaijan to discuss the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict (1992) and another to Haiti (1993). Between 1993 and 1999, he was director for Asia and the Pacific, with a special eye on Cambodia, Papua New Guinea, and Myanmar. The job catered perfectly to his addiction to travel and the acquisition of polymathic knowledge about dozens of regional political groups and movements.

His job of overseeing Asia led Vendrell to his career’s high point, the assignment which gave him greatest gratification: the liberation of East Timor (Timor-Leste) from Indonesian occupation. After the collapse of fascism in Portugal in 1974 the original colonisers, the Portuguese, had unilaterally left the territory in 1975, only for it to be occupied by Indonesian forces with the connivance of the US. For almost two decades, the Indonesians arrested or shot members of the local liberation movement with impunity. Journalists were barred from entry. Western governments did nothing.

After reports of massacres began to filter out in 1997 the Indonesians slightly loosened their grip. They allowed UN officials to come in and Vendrell was even permitted to visit the independence movement leader Xanana Gusmão in jail. But the Indonesians rejected the movement’s demand for a UN-supervised referendum.

Undeterred, Vendrell turned to his favourite tactic of talking patiently and at length to all sides. He persuaded the Indonesians to let him set up an ‘all-inclusive intra-East Timorese dialogue’. It consisted of 30 Timorese people, 15 from the diaspora and 15 from inside, chosen by the Secretary General, i.e. by Vendrell. Some of them supported East Timor remaining under Indonesian control. The Indonesian regime agreed to consider autonomy and Vendrell drafted a paper suggesting how it should be done.

Coincidentally, demonstrations had begun in Jakarta against the Indonesian regime, run by General Suharto. In 1998 he resigned in the face of massive protests. Surprisingly, his successor agreed to hold a referendum on autonomy or independence, thinking the autonomy option would win. But Timorese voted by a huge majority for independence. The army reacted furiously and went on a killing rampage until the UN Security Council authorised a UN peace-keeping force, to be led by Australia. In 2002 the territory became independent.

By then Vendrell had moved on to a country that he came to love: Afghanistan. In January 2000 he was appointed the UN Secretary General’s special representative to Afghanistan. He succeeded in opening contacts with the Taliban and the warlords, the so-called “mujahideen” who had fought the Soviet occupation in the 1980s, but this progress was blown away when al-Qaida attacked the US in September 2001. The US invaded and removed the Taliban.

The UN was asked to organise a conference in Bonn for the various Afghan groups to agree on a new government. Lakhdar Brahimi, a former Algerian Foreign Minister, was appointed as UN Envoy over Vendrell’s head. Vendrell helped to prepare the conference but was unhappy with the Bush administration’s imposition of Hamid Karzai as president instead of letting the Afghans decide.

He also disagreed with the American policy, supported by Brahimi, of a ‘light footprint’ for foreign peacekeepers. Vendrell had spoken to numerous civil society representatives who wanted the northern warlords to be disarmed and removed from power, and this required a strong peacekeeping force.

Frustrated by US policy, Vendrell resigned in 2002. But he felt committed to Afghanistan and soon took a job as the European Union’s representative in Kabul. He lived there for the next six years, acting as a polite but firm critic of the Karzai administration.

After retirement he continued to travel to Kabul frequently as chairman of the advisory board of the Afghanistan Analysts Network, a group of independent experts. He also regularly taught classes on the art of negotiation and conflict resolution at Princeton and Johns Hopkins University.

In 1971 he met Gordon Wilkins, a New York business executive, who became his lifelong partner. When not travelling, which they both loved, they divided their time between flats in New York and London. Vendrell was a committed anglophile, who prized Britain’s traditions and rule of law, and was proud to be made a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George in 2012.

Gordon survives him.

WALKER, LEONARD (LEN) FRANCIS (1950 Mathematics), 6 September 2023

His daughter Louise Walker writes as follows:

Len Walker was born on 7 February 1930 and grew up in and around Camberwell and Peckham in South London, where he remained throughout the war to continue his education.

He won a scholarship to Alleyns Grammar School in Dulwich and, having been awarded an Entrance Exhibition, he was admitted to Caius to read Mathematics in 1950. Following his graduation, he did his National Service in the Royal Artillery and REME, rising to the rank of Captain.

At Caius, Len was secretary, then captain, of the College football team and at the same time captain of the rugby fives team. He continued to play football for the local team in Cullercoats when he moved to the North East of England to work for Parsons and Marine Engineering Turbine Research and Development Association (PAMETRADA), where he was a chief research officer.

In 1962, PAMETRADA merged with the British Shipping Research Association (BSRA) and Len became the Deputy Head of the computer division. He was in the forefront of the introduction and development of computers in ship design and research.

In 1974, Len left BSRA and became head of the Computer Centre at Sunderland Polytechnic (now the University of Sunderland). He was a Chartered Mathematician of the Institute of Mathematics and a Chartered Fellow of the British Computer Society.

When he retired from the University of Sunderland in 1993, he and his wife took full advantage of their free time to travel abroad. He also devoted himself to his interest in repairing watches and clocks and became a Member of the British Horological Institute. He was an active member of the local Church of the Holy Saviour, Tynemouth, where he served as a church warden and on the Parochial Church Council.

Sadly, eight years ago, mini-strokes and vascular dementia started to change his character and he gradually ceased to be the man he once was. He remained at home, looked after by his wife and visiting carers up to his death. His wife Barbara died not long afterwards on 29 November 2023. They had married on Boxing Day 1953 and moved to Tyneside where they lived to their deaths.

They are survived by their four children, eight grandchildren and three great grandchildren.

WALTON, ROBIN BRADSHAW (1955 Music), 30 July 2023

His son Adrian Walton writes:

Robin Walton attended Stockport Grammar School, taking A-levels in Latin, Greek and Music (with distinction), following which he was awarded an open exhibition in Music at Caius in 1954. He was admitted in 1955 and graduated in 1958. He also gained a halfblue in Lacrosse over three years. His brother, Christopher Henry Walton had previously read History at Caius (1951-1954).

Robin’s subsequent career and research interests were much encouraged by Raymond Leppard, Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, and University Lecturer in music from 1958 to 1968. Following his graduation, Robin’s early career was in school teaching where he was to spend 12 very varied years from 1959 to 1971, teaching music initially at Felsted School Essex, and then at the Duke of York School (later renamed Lenana School) in Nairobi, Kenya.

Whilst teaching pupils for both O-levels and A-levels, he also directed numerous musical productions. This ultimately became his forte in the future, and he gained much enjoyment and satisfaction from it. He was also to conduct the Nairobi Orchestra, and participate in church and musicological programmes, notably organ playing and educational committees in Kenya.

Following many ex-pats, he and his young family moved to South Africa in 1971 taking up a position of Music Lecturer at the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in Johannesburg.

His lectures focused on the history of music, covering the periods from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century. He also took on numerous Masters and PhD students.

His forte, however, was his own academic research. In the early 1970s he began a Masters in Italian Baroque Opera, undertaking study tours in Italy and the UK. In 1978 this led to a PhD in 1978, awarded for a thesis entitled ‘Carlo Pallavicini, a critical edition of his opera Bassiano’.

Robin was a founder member of the South African Musicological Society (SAMuS) and was also on the inaugural steering committee of the Roodepoort International Eisteddfod of South Africa. He initiated, organised and performed at many extra-mural musicological initiatives in Johannesburg, involving university, performing arts and church communities, and he became the permanent conductor of numerous choirs and music societies in the city.

He was also an examiner and eventually special commissioner to the Royal Schools of Church Music, and his work was subsequently recognised by the RSCM with the Award of Associate of the Royal Schools of Church Music in 2007.

He continued working at Wits until his retirement in 1996, whereafter he focused on church music in Johannesburg, from which he gained much pleasure.

He and his wife moved from Johannesburg to the Natal Midlands in 2005, seeking a quieter life in retirement, though he continued to engage in local School, Choral and Amateur Musicological Societies until his early 80s.

A decline in health and the onset of Alzheimer’s and dementia necessitated a move to assisted living in 2022. He passed away peacefully on 30 July 2023, leaving his wife of 57 years and two children.

WHITE, GRAHAM JOHN (1965 Law), 21 June 2023

His wife Rosemary Hadow writes:

Graham White Who died on 21 June 2023, was born in London in 1946, attended University College School in Hampstead and went up to Gonville and Caius in 1965 to read Law. He gained an MBA from Cranfield School of Management in 1973.

On graduating from Cambridge, Graham joined the legal department of Willis Faber, the leading Lloyd’s speciality broker. He spent his entire working life in the Lloyd’s market and over five decades he held a variety of key senior roles, including as a broker, Managing Agent and Member’s Agent. He was elected to the Council of Lloyd’s and the pinnacle of his career was serving as Deputy Chairman of Lloyd’s between 2007 and 2014.

He retired from full-time work in the Lloyd’s market in 2017 but undertook several consultancy and non-executive director roles. Graham was highly regarded, charismatic and hugely popular. His altruism frequently led him to go out of his way to help or mentor a wide cross section of people: market professionals, members of Lloyd’s or his own colleagues. At a reception in the Underwriting Room, following his memorial service, the current Chairman of Lloyd’s, Bruce Carnegie-Brown, paid the ultimate tribute to Graham and recognised his contribution to and impact on Lloyd’s by ringing the Lutine Bell in his honour.

Graham enjoyed golf, cricket, rugby and was an ardent lifelong supporter of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. He loved opera and had broad cultural interests, supporting the English Pocket Opera Company Children’s Music Workshops, and the City Arts Trust which curated the City of London Festival.

A lifelong interest in comparative religion instigated his return to Cambridge in 2018 when he enrolled on a programme at the Woolf Institute: Bridging the Great Divide, the Jewish-Muslim Encounter.

He often  spoke of his fond memories of his time at Caius, and indeed he and his family came back to live in Cambridge for a large part of his life while his young family was growing up, so Cambridge now holds a special place in all our hearts!

Graham had five daughters, one of whom, Claire, tragically died aged 17. He will be fondly remembered by Fiona, Julia, Catriona and Breezy, his stepson Daniel, his grandchildren, and his many friends and colleagues.

WILSON, FRANCIS AYLMER HUNTER (1960 Economics: Affiliated Student), 24

April 2022

Professor Francis Wilson was the founder of the Southern Africa Labour and Development Research Unit (SALDRU) and the chronicler and analyst of over two centuries of Southern African economic history. His work played a significant role in bringing about the end of apartheid.

He was born in the Eastern Cape on 17 May 1939 to two prominent anthropologists, Godfrey and Monica Wilson. His father died when he was just five, and his brother Tim a toddler. They were raised at Hogsback in the Eastern Cape, but he came to the University of Cape Town to study Physics in 1958. He soon concluded that he did not want to spend his life ‘counting electrons’ but rather follow John Maynard Keynes and study economics as a ‘method rather than a doctrine,’ a way of understanding and explaining the world. This led him to come as an Affiliated Student to Caius, where his grandfather Professor J. (John) Dover Wilson CH had studied (1900 English) and was an Honorary Fellow (1936-69).

Following the award of his PhD in 1967, Wilson was appointed Senior Lecturer in Economics at the University of Cape Town. He devoted the rest of his life to exposing the injustices wrought by the apartheid system of migrant labour and land dispossession. He did so by meticulously chronicling the facts. For his PhD he had gone down a gold mine himself and visited migrant labour barracks that housed up to 90 migrants in a single dormitory. ‘You can’t write about South Africa unless you’ve been down a mine,’ he said shortly before his death.

It was Wilson who worked out, for example, by analysing annual reports from the Chamber of Mines, that in 55 years – from 1911 to 1969 – the wages of black miners had steadily declined in real terms. Moreover, in the same period the wage gap between white and black workers had widened from 11.7:1 to 17.6:1. This research formed the core of his first book Labour in the South African Gold Mines 1911-1969 published by Cambridge University Press in 1972.

Driven by the desire to combat the immense misery caused by apartheid, he established the Southern African Labour and Development Research Unit in 1975 to gather facts as a kind of arsenal. SALDRU began by analyzing wage data. A year later, Wilson convened a major conference on farm labour, the first of its kind. ‘These are the seeds,‘ said Professor Murray Leibbrandt, who took over the directorship of SALDRU in 2002. ‘Francis’ amazing ability to pull together the research and the researchers, and almost forge a community. He’s an evidence-based person but he was much more than that.’ He did not distinguish between surveys and ‘real lived experience’, said Leibbrandt, so whether you had a survey of farm wages or had set up a farm school, there was a place at that conference.

He also had an extraordinary network, nationally and internationally, that allowed him to tap consciences to raise funds for research. In 1984, SALDRU hosted the second Carnegie Inquiry into Poverty after two years of research. The first, commissioned in 1929, examined the ‘poor white problem’ and the plight of Afrikaans farmers whose farms were failing. In a sense, the findings became part of the justification for the policy of ‘separate development’ and then apartheid. Wilson used this uncomfortable fact to good effect in raising money for the second inquiry in 1984, and a third in the post-Apartheid era.

Alongside his own research, he nurtured the talent of others, especially young black scholars and many who were involved in the struggle against apartheid and for social justice. Dr Mamphela Ramphele, who worked with him on the second Carnegie inquiry, and Ebrahim Patel, now Minister of Trade and Industry, were among his most important protégés.

It was under Wilson’s leadership that SALDRU began a series of panel surveys in the period of the transition to democracy to establish a kind of ‘baseline’ of living conditions at the start of the democratic administration. And in late 1992 the World Bank spoke to SALDRU about undertaking a Living Standards Measurement Study (LSMS) for South Africa. The organisation established itself as a leader in the field of national panel surveys. Previously there had been successful provincial surveys in KZN and in the Cape. But the Project for Living Standards and Development (PSLSD) began shortly before the first democratic elections with a national sample of 9,000 households.

This led the government to decide in 2006 to undertake regular national panel surveys and entrusted SALDRU with its administration and analysis. Known as the South African Income Dynamics Study (NIDS), it has become a mainstay of information about the dynamics of poverty, unemployment, and inequality. That it came into being was thanks to the work and untiring commitment of Francis Wilson since the 1960s.

Wilson died in hospital after several months of illness. He is survived by his wife, Lindy Serrurier, whom he had first met as an undergraduate at the University of Cape Town in 1964, and three children, David, Jessica, and Tanya.

WITTEN, IAN HUGH (1966 Mathematics), 5 May 2023

The following text draws on an obituary by Richard Swainson in The Post (NZ)

Ian Witten was sometimes referred to as the ‘grandfather of Google’. Unlike the tech tycoons of Silicon Valley, however, Witten was a true philanthropist who devoted his prodigious talents to altruistic research that made a real difference to the lives of countless millions. He did not seek the limelight or the international stage. He was a visionary and an enthusiast and, although most of his important was done at the University of Waikato, New Zealand, its impact was felt worldwide.

Ian Witten was born in Horsham, Sussex, England, the second of the three children of Ray Witten, an architect, and Grace Witten (nee Giles), a teacher. The family moved to Belfast when he was four years old and he subsequently attended the Belfast Academical Institute, where he excelled at mathematics. From a young age, Ian also played the clarinet and was a member of the Belfast Youth Orchestra. Around 1960, he took up sailing and once again excelled: In 1961, he was a member of the school crew that won the British Public Schools Sailing Championship in Scotland.

Ian was awarded a scholarship to study at Caius, and he graduated in 1969 with First Class Honours in Mathematics. It was here also that he met Pamela (nee Foden), who was studying at the Saffron Walden Teachers’ College and whom he married in Caius Chapel in 1971. He also played saxophone in a university rock group, The Boston Crabs, and was cox in the Caius rowing eight.

On graduating, Ian won a Commonwealth Scholarship to study mathematics and computer science at Calgary University in Canada. He graduated with an MSc in mathematics, statistics and computer science in 1970. In the same year, he took up a lectureship in the Department of Electrical Engineering Science at the University of Essex, where he began studying toward his PhD and a chartered engineer qualification.

In 1976 Ian both completed his PhD on ‘Learning to Control’ and graduated as a Chartered Engineer from the Institute of Electrical Engineers, London. He was promoted to a Senior Lectureship at Essex in 1979 but decided to return to Calgary University as a full Professor in 1980, where he also served as Head of the Department of Computer Science 1982-5.

Having enjoyed sabbaticals to New Zealand in 1977 and 1986 as an Erskine Fellow, Ian decided in 1992 to take up position as Professor of Computer Science at the University of Waikato. He later said that the University provided ‘a wonderful basis for an international research career’ and a ‘wonderful environment to develop in the ways I wanted to develop’. His research certainly flourished there.

Ian’s innovations in the field of indexing and compressing computer text played a seminal role in the development of computer search engines internationally. He discovered temporal-difference learning, inventing the tabular TD(0), the first temporaldifference learning rule for reinforcement learning. He was a co-creator of the Sequitur algorithm and he conceived and obtained funding for the development of the Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis (WEKA), a free software package for data mining, the companion software to his groundbreaking breaking, co-authored book Data

Mining: Practical Machine Learning Tools and Techniques, first published in 1999 and subsequently updated in two later editions.

A co-founder of the Greenstone Digital Library Software and the language learning systems FLAX, he also made a major contribution in the digital libraries field. In 2013, he created the first Massive Online Course (MOOC) from a New Zealand university, facilitating and teaching users about WEKA, creating YouTube videos that have been viewed millions of times.

According to one colleague and friend, Ian’s research strengths were complemented by a strong belief in the power of collaboration and the understanding and facilitating of team building, challenging colleagues and students alike. Himself offering a heady mix of intelligence and unstinting optimism, he had the capacity to identify how things could be done, inspiring and guiding in equal measure, winning funding, and building networks both within the University and beyond. He was an enthusiastic visionary, and he encouraged all who knew him to have greater expectations of themselves and of each other.

During his career, he won five Marsden scholarships, contributing NZ$7 million toward research at the University of Waikato. He supervised more than 40 doctoral and postgraduate students and played an innovative role in promoting graduate research, helping establish national conferences. He was the co-author of 20 books, including Managing Gigabytes (1994), an acknowledged influence upon the development of the Google search engine.

With a different character and in a different context, Ian Witten could well have become another tech billionaire. He chose instead to live most of his professional life in the Waikato. His research was essentially philanthropic. His collaborative project, the Greenstone Library Digital Software, open-source software designed to compress vast amounts of data in user-friendly, accessible ways, was adopted by the BBC and the New York Botanical Gardens, but also by UNESCO in more than 60 countries. He aimed to ‘empower people to create their own information systems’. Māori were among the first to benefit.

His work was recognised by numerous awards. In 2004, he won the International Federation of Information Processing Namur Award. In 2005, he received the Royal Society Te Aparangi Hector Medal. In 2010, he won the Kea Award for Science, Technology and Academia. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand and the Association for Computing Machinery and a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

An eternal optimist, known for his loud, distinctive laugh, Ian Witten pursued many passions alongside his research. He was a clarinettist with the Trust Waikato Symphony

Orchestra (TWS0), as well as smaller groups playing both classical and jazz music and organising the occasional gig with close attention to detail. In retirement, he also reinforced the woodwind section of the Waikato Diocesan School for Girls Orchestra. He was a skilled sailor and navigator around the coastline of the North Island and he and his wife enjoyed nothing more than making excursions around the Waikato.

He died soon after a cancer diagnosis and is survived by his wife Pam, daughters Anna and Nicola (Nikki) and grandchildren Stella and Riley.

Dr José Vitor Paiva Miranda De Siqueira (Bye-Fellow)

José is a mathematician interested in category theory and the Foundations of Mathematics at large. He completed his first degree in Mathematics at the University of Brasília, Brazil, before coming to Cambridge as a member of Christ’s College for Part III of the Mathematical Tripos and a PhD. His current research explores connections between logic and geometry via topos theory, while past work employed categorical logic to extend the proof methods of nonstandard analysis (which classically allows for rigorous usage of infinitesimals in calculus and geometry) to new contexts. He joined Caius as an Acting College Lecturer and Director of Studies in Mathematics.

Dr Russell Moore (Bye-Fellow)

Originally from the Hampshire coast, Russell read Computer Science at King’s College, Cambridge, in 1997. Shortly after graduating, he founded a financial software consultancy with his twin brother and worked in the City of London for many years, providing services to global banking and insurance clients. In 2015 Russell returned to academia, taking an interest in the rise of machine learning and artificial intelligence. He worked initially as a computational linguist before returning to his old home at the Computer Laboratory, where, having joined Caius, he completed his PhD.

He has been a Professor of Theoretical Physics in DAMTP since 2007. He is the head of the DAMTP High Energy Physics research group. His research area is Quantum Field Theory (QFT) which is the basic mathematical framework for describing elementary particles. Most of what we know about these theories is only approximate, relying on a perturbative expansion in terms of Feynman diagrams. Nick is particularly interested in special cases where exact analytic calculations are possible allowing us to investigate the true nature of QFT. Outside of academic life he is an enthusiastic player of the guitar, both acoustic and electric. He joined Caius as a Bye-Fellow and College Lecturer.

Members of the Edmund Gonville Society

The Edmund Gonville Society was established to recognise, during their lifetime, those Caians and friends who are leaving a bequest to the College. Members are gifted a special pin to mark their belonging to the Edmund Gonville Society and are invited to the annual Edmund Gonville Society Lunch, as well as to the College May Week Party. Those indicating an especially generous bequest, a pledged value of at least £100,000, are invited to the annual Commemoration Service and Feast.
