Forty Years of Women at Caius How do nerves grow?

Working with Sir David Attenborough The CBI and the climate emergency

Lucy Ward

From the Master It gives me great pleasure to be writing the foreword for this edition of Once a Caian..., my first as Master, after one year in office. Living in Dr Caius’ own monument, Caius Court, I’m reminded daily of how this extraordinary place combines astonishing people and beautiful buildings with an air of purpose, curiosity and diligence. The whole is supported by an endowment, which with good husbandry and your help maintains the College at the heart of one of the best universities in the world. Against a long and wonderful history, ten years is but a dot.

We live in very challenging political and economic times. Nevertheless, Caius has survived plague, revolution, religious strife, world wars (p.14) and visits by royalty (p.12). It has thrived into the 21st Century as a joint endeavour, incorporating the efforts of the whole Caian community of Fellows, students, staff and alumni. Having been so fortunate in being handed the College in good shape by Sir Alan Fersht and David Secher, I am conscious we must not squander that position. Nor can we be complacent or unambitious. I am determined to leave my successor an even better College. We will keep doing what we have always done so well. To borrow my predecessor Neil McKendrick’s catchphrase: we have to ensure Caius is the best all-round college in Cambridge. We must choose the best students, Fellows and staff.

We must enable them to do their best work in a place which encourages them to flourish. We must continue to ask and answer difficult questions over a wide range of issues. We will celebrate success in all its forms: whether academic (p.6 and p.24), sporting (p.36), musical or political. Caians continue to do remarkable things in the world outside the six courts of Caius. From protecting the environment (p.18) to encouraging entrepreneurship (p.8), from CAM to encouraging reading (p.20 and p.22), Caians’ short time here is a springboard for what happens later.

This year, we celebrate the 40th anniversary of women becoming full members of the College. 36 women students matriculated in 1979. Women will be about 50% of this year’s intake (p.4). In 2019, Caius remains committed to diversity and inclusiveness. We want all our students to participate fully in everything the College and Cambridge has to offer. We continue to invest greatly in teaching (p.10) and supporting our students (p.26). The College could not continue to do so without your help. Thank you.

he best universities seek to serve society. They are not ‘ivory towers’, hidebound with history and cut off from the real world, but adaptable and keen to respond practically to the changing needs and challenges of the times, such as climate change, diversity and equality of opportunity.

For many industries and professions, gender parity is still a distant dream – but already 16 of Cambridge’s 31 colleges have chosen women as Heads of House and Caius is one of them. Dr Pippa Rogerson (1986) was installed as the College’s 43rd Master on Monday 1 October 2018.

In the first year of her ten-year term, Pippa has been joined by a new Senior Bursar, Robert Gardiner (2018) and a new Senior Tutor, Dr Andrew Spencer (2019).

Both come from Murray Edwards College, where they were, respectively, Senior Bursar and Admissions Tutor. Pippa says they are the three College officers who are ‘always on duty.’

The Senior Tutor is vital in ‘trying to attract the best students, support them through their time at Caius, help them to thrive and be the best they can, and go on to be those critical, inquiring, curious people who can use evidence to make up their own minds about the big issues.’

At the May Week Party, Pippa announced her initiative to invite Caian teachers to help

The Next Nine Years Agnetta Lazarus

Senior Bursar, Dr David Secher (1973).

‘I inherited the College in very good shape, both financially and in terms of the rolling maintenance of the buildings, which are two things we really have to keep an eye on.

And we are working in a rapidly changing regulatory environment from the government – which will mean that our options are perhaps less flexible than one might imagine. The Augar review may mean we get lower fees, and we already don’t get full cost for the education we provide for home undergraduate students.’

Pippa is not the first Master to underline the importance of the College’s Endowment to benefactors at the May Week Party. Caius can only maintain the excellent, personalised education it offers by using income from the Endowment to make up an annual shortfall of about £5,000 per student. If the Government adopts Augar’s recommended fee reductions without separately compensating universities, that gap may increase to £6,500 pa.

Looking ahead, one of the major projects of the next academic year will be the £7.6 million renovation of the College kitchens.

Catering will be provided in temporary facilities at Harvey Court while work takes place, with re-opening scheduled for Michaelmas 2020. Pippa believes ‘it’s really important that we have a better working environment and a more hygienic, environmentally sustainable kitchen.’

the College to recruit applicants from a wider range of backgrounds: ‘I want them to channel more people in Cambridge’s direction, to have a two-way conversation with them about what might be holding people back from applying, or what they need to know from us, about how to help their best students to apply.’

She accepts that changes can take time.

‘We’ll take all of next year, really, to bed in, then we probably won’t see the fruition for at least three years, seeing one cohort of students through, so probably five years.

With 110 Fellows, 850 students, almost 200 staff and 671 years of history, we can only nudge the tanker in the right direction!’

She is grateful to her predecessor, Professor Sir Alan Fersht (1963) and retired

She has been surprised by the amount of celebratory eating and drinking that Masters are expected to complete. As well as college feasts for historic landmarks, matriculation, graduation, etc., there are numerous university events and Masters are frequently invited to the 30 other colleges.

Her personal response has been to adopt a ‘flexitarian’ diet. She is vegan in College,

which has the triple benefit of being environmentally friendly, reducing calories, and ensuring high standards for the growing number of vegetarian or vegan students. Her rule on alcohol is not to drink when she has to speak – ‘And there seem to be an awful lot of speeches to give!’

Masters of Caius are not elected by students, but by the whole Fellowship, after a searching question and answer session. Recent Masters have enjoyed an exceptionally close rapport with students, clearly enjoying their company. With five daughters in their teens and twenties, Pippa really does understand how students think – and

a place here, to use that intellect as well as you can.

‘But along with that, there are so many other things that Cambridge, and Caius in particular, can help grow and nurture that are so useful, so important, so valuable when you leave here. If you look at people like Nicky Shindler, who got an OBE this year, or Dame Carolyn Fairbairn or Sir Simon Russell Beale… There are diversity activists and there are grand lawyers and there are actors and music people – there’s such a range of things you can do.’

Even organising a May Ball can develop valuable skills, in teamwork and leadership, and in organising catering, budgets, licensing, insurance, publicity, and so on, helping to equip students for later life.

‘Having Caius as a place which allows you, encourages you, to get on and do stuff, is something we want to continue. And these other things they do, whether it’s sport or music or friendship or volunteering, all

she shares many of their priorities.

‘Environmental sustainability is an agenda item for every College committee. We encourage the Chef to buy locally… And I’m pretty sorry about my own personal carbon footprint, with flying and so on, and I’m trying to think of ways to minimise that.’

One cherished moment from her first year in office came at a London event for the University’s Dear World... Yours, Cambridge campaign. She was hugely impressed by David Attenborough: ‘He was just so inspiring! He spoke for ten minutes, about climate change and how it's affected the earth and how the sort of work that's done at Cambridge, in Economics or Genetics and so on, could help redress some of that.’

As a supervisor, Pippa was always supportive of extra-curricular activities. She has continued to embrace that broader vision: ‘It’s all about providing a supportive environment in which people can be the best version of themselves: so that they can thrive and not just do their best academic work (although that is a given). You have a responsibility, if you’re clever enough to get

support mental well-being. You have a broader sense of yourself.’

Unusually, Pippa retains a half-time post with the Law Faculty and continues lecturing, examining and supervising, which she loves.

‘Supervisions are discussions between students and academics almost as equals.

That’s what’s so special about it. We all say we get almost as much supervision as the students do! These bright, young things challenging your ideas is enormously exciting.

It’s really creative.’

‘Being a lawyer’, she says, ‘is so much a part of who I am. I’d really miss it. And it’s good to have a perspective that’s not bound by the six Courts of Caius.’

Pippa’s energy and enthusiasm for her new role is infectious: those around her tend to raise their game, to keep up with the pace she sets. At the heart of it all is her passionate determination to help everyone, both students and staff, to be ‘the best possible version of themselves’.

ince the first intake of 36 women as students in 1979, over three thousand women have matriculated at Caius. In 2019, the fortieth anniversary of women coming to Caius, around half of our incoming cohort will be women, from all backgrounds and disciplines. In the year following the installation of our first female Master, Dr Pippa Rogerson (1986), we will be exploring and celebrating the mark that women have made on our 671-year-old College.

Caius joined the wider movement towards co-educational delivery slowly, playing a cautious ‘waiting game’, as Life Fellow Dr Michael Wood (1959) puts it, whilst observing how the ‘early adopter’ Colleges were faring. Following its first debate in 1969, and ‘a restrained and excellently argued paper from our undergraduates’, the Governing Body revisited the topic of the admission of women in 1978, and the change of statute was passed by a majority of well over the two-thirds needed.

Michael was present at the meeting and recalls ‘an overwhelming sense of welcome for the change’. Opinion amongst the Fellowship, he notes, had progressively shifted as experience elsewhere in Cambridge had come to show ‘the real advantages of a mixed entry’. Within a year, the first women at Caius arrived. These pioneers had an ambivalent experience: ‘they were both invisible and too visible’ according to Pippa, then a student at Newnham, an all-female College. ‘They were too few in number to have weight of authority or to have a good support network – although some Colleges

seem to have bent over backwards to accommodate women’s perceived needs.’

She adds, ‘However, their rarity made individuals too conspicuous’.

Mary Lowth (née Bagnall) (1979) was one of the first Caius women. She recalls the first week as a ‘whirl of meeting people, sorting out timetables, finding the sports ground, finding the anatomy theatre and coffee, lots of coffee.’ It sounds much like the experience of Freshers today, except she remembers something else: ‘all over the courts and staircases, like magic dust, hung a sense of vague astonishment.’ She says, ‘Everyone knew that Caius had debated admitting women over several years. They had voted against it. They had discussed it again. Time had passed. Then they had voted for it. Yet now that we were here, it was a bit of a surprise.’

However, it was a good time to arrive: ‘although the matriculation photograph reveals an extraordinarily young-looking

40 group, some (me) with hairstyles we’d prefer to forget, we were daughters of the ‘60s and had been taught that women’s liberation had happened, the battle was won and we could just get on with it and be whatever we wanted to be. We believed it.’

Wandering around the courts today, it soon becomes apparent that women are very much a part of the fabric of the present-day College. ‘In 2018, for the first time, we received more female applicants than male applicants,’ states Dr Sarah Houghton-Walker (2007), Admissions Tutor for Arts and Humanities.

On an extra-curricular level, the studentrun Joyce Frankland Society, established in 2016, provides an inclusive and diverse space for the discussion of feminist and gender issues. Named in honour of one of the great female philanthropists of the sixteenth century, who founded a number of fellowships and scholarships at Caius, the society organised a series of performances and talks in March 2019, to commemorate International Women’s Day and ‘equality in all its forms’, as Nadia Razali (2016), the society’s then President, puts it. Speakers included TV writer Sally Abbott and Caius Fellow and Director of Studies in Economics Dr Victoria Bateman (1998). Proceeds raised

Year from the evening were donated to support local women’s charities.

If the effervescence of the student body is perhaps the most immediate evidence of the integral role women play in life at Caius, their contribution also makes itself felt in a number of other areas. From the moment you step through the College gates, friendly Porters, four of whom are female, greet you. As you look around our beautiful Courts, the names of women are painted on almost every staircase.

The College’s day-to-day operations are kept on track thanks to numerous women as well as men, from housekeeping staff, chefs and librarians to tutors, the College nurse and countless other members of staff working tirelessly behind the scenes. Pushing open the doors of our Chapel, you can hear the beautiful sounds of our world-renowned choir, which has been mixed for many years.

Chapel services are led by our College Dean, The Revd Cally Hammond (2005).

Women and non-binary individuals are also represented within our Fellowship – a diverse group of professional researchers and teachers. All across Cambridge, women represent the College in a wide variety of sports and societies, and beyond graduation, Caius women have excelled in areas as diverse

as business, media, science, economics, history, maths, medicine and the law.

An alumna of the all-female Murray Edwards College, formerly New Hall, Dr Rebecca Sugden (2018) joined Caius last October as a Research Fellow in French.

‘There’s a sense in which – for a newcomer like myself – it’s happily difficult to imagine Caius as a space without women,’ she remarks. ‘My own arrival coincided with Dr Pippa Rogerson’s installation as Master, and it was hugely heartening to see Caius participating fully in the wider shift across Cambridge Colleges to more female Heads of House.’

‘Perhaps just as encouraging for me, though,’ Rebecca continues, ‘was to note the efforts College is making in this anniversary year to acknowledge the work of all those other women who are so often overlooked, but who do and have done so much to keep Caius running smoothly over the years – not just academics, but chefs, bedders, porters, librarians, accountants, computer officers, to give just a few examples.’

Rebecca stresses that the progress made over the last 40 years should not be taken

for granted. ‘It’s wonderful that so much has been accomplished in a relatively short period of time, but this is an issue that requires ongoing work. We’re incredibly fortunate to have such an engaged and articulate student body, and maintaining a dialogue with them, as well as Caians around the world, will be vital to ensuring that Caius remains a welcoming and supportive place for students, staff and Fellows of all genders.’

This anniversary is as much an opportunity to look ahead as it is about acknowledging the past. As Pippa emphasises: ‘We must not be complacent.

There is a long way still to go.’ Over the next year, we will be commemorating this milestone and celebrating co-education and diversity with a series of events, exhibitions, stories and podcasts for Caians past and present.

In September, some of the earliest Caius women will return to College for a Garden Party, giving them an opportunity to reflect on their time as students, reconnect with other pioneers, and celebrate the progress the College has made over the years. In December, the Library and Archives will open its doors to College members for an open afternoon that explores women’s connections to Caius. The College will also join in the University’s celebrations of 150 years of women at Cambridge, marked with a line-up of exhibitions, events and displays called The Rising Tide, coordinated by the University Library. We warmly encourage Caians to get involved with the celebrations, to share their memories and historic items with our Archives, and to contribute their vision for the future of the College.

Juggling Neurons

by Mick Le Moignan (2004) Juggling priorities is a core skill for wife, mother, Fellow and Professor of Developmental Neuroscience, Christine Holt (1997)

C

hristine makes the point that it is still harder for women than men to build a successful career in scientific research, but several prestigious awards, including the €1 million Champalimaud Vision Award in 2016 and the Ferrier Medal of the Royal Society in 2017, are helping to make her own juggling act a little easier.

There is considerable public interest in Christine’s ground-breaking discoveries about how nerve cells grow and develop, because they may ultimately lead to a better understanding of neurodegenerative conditions, such as Parkinson’s, Huntington’s and Alzheimer’s Diseases.

Success in such a complex field requires many years of patient work. Christine pays warm tribute to her husband, Professor Bill Harris, who retired last year as Head of Cambridge University’s Department of Physiology Development and Neuroscience, for loyally supporting her research. For many years, they have worked in adjoining labs, investigating similar areas, and collaborated closely. ‘It’s great’ she says, ‘to have a working partner who understands what you’re doing.’

Christine grew up in rural Northumberland, the youngest of three children of a wartime naval officer and a Wren, attending a tiny village school with only two classes for pupils aged 4 -13, where the comedian, Rowan Atkinson, was a contemporary. She went on to board at Harrogate College and then St Clare’s Sixth Form College in Oxford, where she studied a

mixture of arts and science subjects for ‘A’ levels.

‘In those days,’ she says, ‘girls weren’t really encouraged to go on to university, but in Oxford, my eyes were opened to the possibilities of university.’ She chose Sussex because of its strength in Biology and because she could continue an arts subject, but in her final year she homed in on Neurobiology and the development of embryos. This led to a PhD studentship at King’s College, London, to work on the development of the eye and its central connections, and then the first year of a postdoctoral MRC fellowship at Oxford with Sir Colin Blakemore.

Essentially, that work on the wiring of the brain continues to this day: she says she is ‘still trying to figure out how nerves get connected properly’. It goes back to the earliest moments of life: ‘We all start as a single cell. It divides and divides and divides.

How does the single cell develop into, for example, a brain cell or a liver cell?’

In particular, Christine wants to work out how neurons form connections between the eye and the brain. Our optic nerve is not a single strand, but contains about a million axons from cells in the retina, called retinal ganglion cells, each carrying information from the eye to the brain to be translated into pictures.

In a human foetus, these axons begin growing about six weeks after conception.

They start in the retina and take several weeks to extend and navigate their way to their target in the optic tectum in the midbrain. It is obviously impractical to study

this process in humans in vivo, so Christine uses the axons from Xenopus frogs, which develop in about 20 hours, and behave in a petri dish in the lab much as they would in the growing brain of a tadpole or frog.

The axons travel vast distances, in relation to their size, comparable, on a human scale, to walking from London to Birmingham. How can the originating cell ‘control’ this process from so far away?

A key part of the answer, of course, lies in its DNA. At the tip of each growing axon is a specialised ‘growth cone’, which reaches out tendrils to find its correct pathway, carrying messenger RNA (mRNA) from the original cell body. The growing brain already has a ‘roadmap’ of molecules to guide the growth cone on its way. When it encounters Netrin, for example, it is attracted towards it, and so the axon grows in that direction. When it meets with EphrinB, it is repelled and turns away. These chemicals are ‘signposts’ that show the way to go, but how does the axon keep growing on its long journey?

In her Ferrier Lecture at the Royal Society, Christine compared this phenomenon to ‘an amoeba on a leash’.

When the leash is deliberately broken in the lab, cutting off an axon from its originating cell body in the retina, the growth cone continues to function perfectly well for about three hours. This apparent autonomy is a clue to how it works. In 2001, Christine and her team discovered that the mRNA in the growth cone can generate its own proteins on demand, locally, swiftly and whenever required. This is how the axons complete their long journey to the optic

tectum. The theory was resisted for several years but is now generally accepted. In addition, Christine discovered that this RNAbased mechanism helps to keep axons alive over the life-time of an organism.

If this were just a matter of solving one of life’s minuscule mysteries, it might please the scientists involved, while only meriting a few lines in microbiological textbooks – but it may have much greater significance, in providing a vital key to understanding how neuro-degenerative diseases work – and ultimately curing them.

Christine’s scientific journey took her around the world in search of the most innovative colleagues in her field. From Oxford, she applied to Bill Harris, an earlycareer Assistant Professor at the University of California in San Diego, who offered her a one-year postdoctoral position. She must have made a good impression. The two young scientists became romantically involved and, the moment Christine got back to her parents’ house, Bill phoned with another offer, asking her to marry him. She said yes, but completed her next postdoctoral year at Oxford before returning full-time to the US. ‘Back in San Diego, I was “the wife” in a part-time teaching position – and started having children – which made doing research even more difficult!’ Julia and Jake were born in 1985 and 1987 and, unsurprisingly, both are now scientists. As Christine only had a ‘soft-money’ position without a lab, she was, at least, free to accompany Bill on his sabbatical to Germany. She got a modest grant from the

US National Institutes of Health, sufficient to fund one technician and no students, and tried to make discoveries and publish them.

She’s quite sure: ‘it would have been much easier for a guy!’

The Chair of her Department had advised her to keep some professional distance between Bill’s research and her own and to publish scientific papers in her own name, to ensure she got fair credit for her original work. This paid off in the form of two prestigious awards, a Pew Scholar’s Award and a McKnight Award, which gave her ‘a stamp of credibility’.

At last, in 1992, she was offered a “hard money” Assistant Professor’s position at the University of California San Diego, with her own lab space, enabling her to take on graduate students and postdocs – but, two years later, Bill came to Cambridge on another sabbatical and was invited to be Head of the Anatomy Department. Slightly reluctantly, Christine also accepted a position as a Lecturer.

It was ‘a massive drop’ in salary and facilities, because she had tenure in the US. She had to teach neuroanatomy and neurodevelopment to undergraduates in Medicine and Natural Sciences. It was ‘a balancing act’, as she juggled the priorities of school-aged children, a sick mother (her father had died ten years earlier), teaching and trying to keep an international profile with her research.

When Professor Joe Herbert (1976) heard that Christine and Bill were coming to Cambridge, he invited them to dinner in College and she was offered a Fellowship.

Becoming a Caian has been ‘a massively positive experience. People at Caius really care about each other: it’s a wonderful scholarly community. You work away in your lab and come in for lunch and have fascinating conversations with people in all sorts of different areas – at San Diego, there was no opportunity to meet people in other disciplines.’

Even so, the balancing act was hard to maintain. In 2000, severely stressed, she wrote a letter of resignation to the Master, Neil McKendrick – ‘and he refused to accept it! I really appreciated that.’ Soon afterwards, she was promoted to Reader, then Professor and became a Fellow of the Royal Society, so student supervisions became a thing of the past. The pressure was still on, but in a different way: ‘Running a lab is like running a business.

You have millions of pounds coming through the door and you have to keep people employed on the grants and you have to produce papers and get them published in high quality journals, if you want to get repeat funding.’

Her current work includes serving on the Scientific Advisory Boards of two of the new Dementia Research Institutes (Cambridge and King’s, London).

It hasn’t been an easy ride, but Christine takes a quiet pleasure and pride in what she has achieved, in the potential of her work to lead to hugely significant results that may save or change many people’s lives – and in the fact that she may have helped to smooth the rocky pathway for the next generation of women scientists.

year at Caius in Tree Court, over the Porters’ Lodge. Michael Prichard (1950) was on the ground floor, ‘keeping watch over the young women of “Q” staircase, lest there was any bad behaviour! It’s wonderful that he’s still there. He was my tutor, and I have incredibly fond memories of him.’

She joined the second year of women at Caius. ‘I look back to those days and think how far women have come. We have women leading our companies, government departments, the Metropolitan Police, the TUC. But there is a long way still to go’. Carolyn has made supporting women in business one of her top priorities while at the CBI. She planned to change to Law after her first year, but Iain Macpherson made Economics too enticing. ‘He gave such an amazing perspective on economic history. I think he was the person who inspired me to be a proper economist.

We were caught up in the battle between Keynes, Hayek and Friedman.

It was a real battle of ideas.’

Outside studies, Carolyn wrote for student newspapers, was Social Secretary for the Caius JCR and rowed with three friends, forming the Max Factor IV and winning sponsorship from the company. ‘We didn’t do particularly well, but we looked quite good!’

Since Caius, her life has gone from success to success, but also from crisis to crisis. It’s uncanny, she says, how often an organisation she has joined has been plunged into unexpected chaos, but she views each crisis as a learning opportunity: ‘and one of the things you learn is that you always get second chances at things, and not to be too downhearted when things go wrong.’

She ‘mucked it up completely’ when she tried for a General Traineeship at the BBC, where she hoped to follow her grandfather. In the running order for an imaginary news bulletin, she put the kidnapping of Shergar (a racehorse), higher than the announcement of a General Election, and failed the test.

Instead, she did a Master’s in International Relations in the USA, which led to an internship at the IMF and a job with the World Bank. Two years on the Finance pages of The Economist followed, then she took an MBA at INSEAD, where she met her husband, Canadian entrepreneur, Peter Chittick. She says they are ‘entirely different and complementary’. For the past 20 years they have lived in Winchester where they brought up their three children: Emily, Anna and Tom, all now in their 20s. After six years as a management

consultant at McKinsey Group, John Major’s team invited her to work at Number 10, which was ‘a remarkable two years. That was the last very serious Eurosceptic challenge within the Conservative Party, with many of the same people leading it – and it was an extraordinary thing to be at the centre of that, and to see how differently it was handled from how the same challenge has been handled, twenty years later.’

The digital revolution ‘hit media first’. As Strategy Director at the BBC, Carolyn tried to get the organisation to adapt to the rapidly changing conditions.

She launched Freeview and funded the first prototype of iPlayer, but a major crisis arose, and the Hutton Report forced both Director-General, Greg Dyke, and Chair, Gavyn Davies, to resign.

Carolyn stayed and led the BBC’s Charter Review but then took a late gap year: she, Peter and their children, then aged 10, 8 and 6, travelled all around Southeast Asia and Africa. She returned to join Michael Grade at ITV, where the world financial crisis caused drastic falls in advertising revenues. Grade had seen it coming and asked Carolyn to prepare a plan: ‘I think we saved ITV. We took 25% out of the cost base within six months and set the organisation on a path to become more content-producers than broadcasters, getting the balance right.’

While at ITV, she joined the board of the FSA, just before the Northern Rock collapse, when there was a run on the bank. Once again, Carolyn was at the heart of crisis management, later joining the board of Lloyds Bank, where she would have stayed but for the irresistible temptation of her current role at the CBI. With copious experience of leadership under pressure, Carolyn will need all her skills to muster support for the goal of zero emissions by 2050, but she will certainly give it her best shot. Iain Macpherson would expect nothing less.

Expressing gratitude to our benefactors is a vital part of the College’s DNA

O

ur name acknowledges two of our three founders, who are further commemorated in the courts that bear their names. Statues of Stephen Perse (1565) and Bartholomew Wortley (1671) still survey Tree Court. Gifts from William Drosier (1835), William Tapp (1877) and Comyns Berkeley (1883) are acknowledged in named Fellowships and Studentships and inscribed on the Benefactors’ Wall in the Great Gate.

Also in the Great Gate is the memorial to Francis Crick (1950) who discovered the

structure of DNA. This year, Crick has been further celebrated by the completion of funding for a College Lectureship in his name. Three more lectureships have been funded and named for outstandingly distinguished Caians, Joseph Needham (1918), Tun Suffian (1936), and Iain Macpherson (1959). All of these Lectureships have been completed through the generosity of many contemporary benefactors.

More than 80 Caians contributed to the Crick Lectureship, which has also been supported by the Caius Fund and our telephone campaigns. The new Francis Crick Lecturer is Dr Julian Sale (1986) who works at the MRC Laboratory in Cambridge on DNA replication.

The Needham and Tun Suffian Lectureships began as geographically focused appeals. In March 2014, Nick Sallnow-Smith (1969) Lora Sallnow-Smith (2012), Ray Leung

(1986) and Julia Ford (1995) helped to organise a magnificent dinner, attended by Professor Sir Alan Fersht (1962) and Dr Anne Lyon (2001), generously hosted by the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Administrative Region of the time, CY Leung and his wife, Regina, at Government House. Proceeds from the sale of tickets for the dinner and an auction kick-started the funding for a lectureship to commemorate former Master, Joseph Needham (1918).

As recorded in earlier issues of Once a Caian… Needham’s fame in China has only increased since his death. He was the first international scholar to open the eyes of the West to China’s scientific and cultural achievements since ancient times. Following the Hong Kong launch of the appeal, further funds have been raised through the Caius Fund to complete the endowment of this Lectureship.

Victoria Bateman (1998) was fortunate to have the legendary Iain Macpherson (1959) as her Director of Studies in Economics. Now, Victoria is continuing the Caius tradition of excellence in Economics as both Director of Studies and the Iain Macpherson Lecturer

Investing in Teaching

As Needham’s first academic discipline was Biochemistry, it is highly appropriate that the Joseph Needham College Lectureship has been awarded to Dr Helen Mott (2005), who teaches the Natural Sciences Tripos and researches the interactions of signalling proteins.

The proposal to set up a College Lectureship in the name of the eminent Malaysian lawyer, Tun Mohamed Suffian Hashim (1936) was first raised by Dr Cheng Teik Goh (1973) in 2004. Tun Suffian, who came from a poor rural community in Perak, won a Queen’s Scholarship to read Law at Caius. He married in Cambridge and went home with his wife after the war. He was the first Malay to become Solicitor General and went on to be Chief Justice and Lord President. He always kept in touch with Caius and his lifelong friend, Bill Wade (1936), who observed that ‘Among his many honours… none gave him more pleasure than his Honorary Fellowship of Caius.’

In April 2012, the proposal took a great leap forward, when Caesar Loong (1983) organised a Gala Dinner in Kuala Lumpur attended by HRH Tuanku Muhriz of Negeri Sembilan, Tunku Sofiah of the Tun Suffian Foundation, Sir Christopher Hum (2005), Dr Anne Lyon (2001) and the British High Commissioner, which raised more than £300,000. Gonville Fellow Benefactor, John Haines (1949), who died earlier this year, was born and grew up in Malaysia and met Tun Suffian when they both came back to dine at Caius. John made a further most generous donation to the fund, so that Tun Suffian’s exceptional qualities and achievements will continue to be

remembered and celebrated at Caius in perpetuity.

The holder of the Tun Suffian Lectureship is Dr Kun-Chin (K-C) Lin (2012), the College Lecturer in International Relations, a University Lecturer in Politics and Deputy Director of the Forum on Geopolitics.

The Iain Macpherson Fund was launched in Iain’s lifetime by some of his former students, most notably Richard Chau (1987).

Since Iain’s death in 2011, it has been boosted by donations from other Caians, many of whom were Iain’s tutorial students.

For some time, this fund has financed two undergraduate bursaries, but as of this year it is also supporting Dr Victoria Bateman (1998), Iain’s successor as Director of Studies in Economics, as the first Iain Macpherson College Lecturer.

Another group of Caians came together

to fund a Lectureship after returning to the College in 2013 to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of their matriculation. (See photo on page 30.) The organising committee of the 1973 reunion, Andrew Reicher, John Sunderland, Howard Trust, John Nangle and Peter Beverley, chose to direct any funds raised by their reunion to endow in perpetuity the post of one teaching Fellow at the College. Dr Bronwyn Everill (2015), a historian who works on the role Africans have played in shaping ideas of humanitarianism, empire, and commerce in the modern era, has been appointed the 1973 College Lecturer.

Dr Jon Denbigh (1961) chose to commemorate his father, Kenneth Denbigh (1950). Jon funded his named Lectureship by setting up a Deed of Variation on his mother’s will, to divert his entire share of his mother’s estate to the College. This also reduced substantially the tax burden on other beneficiaries. Professor Axel Zeitler (2005) a chemical engineer who specialises in the non-invasive investigation of coating materials used in the pharmaceutical and automotive industries, has been appointed to the Kenneth Denbigh Lectureship.

All these lectureships have been funded in perpetuity, so a new Fellow will be appointed to each post when it falls vacant. Dr Arif Ahmed (2015) has taken over from fellowphilosopher, Professor Alex Oliver (1993) as the Nicholas Sallnow-Smith College Lecturer.

Following the untimely death of Dr Richard Gibbens (1980) last year, Dr Timothy Jones (2017), a Reader in the Department of Computer Science and Technology has been appointed to succeed Richard as the 1956 College Lecturer.

In these uncertain times for university funding, guaranteeing the continuation of the Cambridge supervision system is a high priority for the Development Office and remembering the generosity of our benefactors will continue to be an integral part of College life.

The 1896 Royal Visit U nlike King’s, which could boast that ‘Queen Elizabeth slept here’ (and for several nights), or Trinity, home to Princes, Caius has never been one of the royal Colleges. Our College could not even claim a noble founder.

Nevertheless, on one occasion under Queen Victoria, Caius played host to the Prince of Wales, soon to become King Edward VII. The Prince of Wales had entered Trinity in 1861, in the wake of an early Prince William, admitted in 1787. His military enthusiasm and Cambridge connections meant that he became the first Honorary Colonel of the University Rifle Volunteers, and even subscribed money for their new firing range.

As absentee Colonel, the Prince went on receiving invitations to the annual inspection. These normally had to be turned down. But an exception was made in 1896, when the commanding officer happened to be the Revd. ES Roberts (1865), Classics Fellow and future Master of Caius. Roberts had commanded the Corps with considerable success for seven years, receiving the Volunteer Long Service Medal in 1895, and was about to retire from his part-time military role. On 15 May the Prince came by train from King’s Cross, for a daytime visit beginning with lunch in Caius. His equerry was General Ellis.

He was welcomed at the station by ES Roberts, booted and spurred in his Colonel’s uniform, and General Burnett, commanding the Eastern District. The 100-man guard of honour was from the Suffolk Volunteer Regiment. The Prince was given an enthusiastic reception by the Cambridge crowds, with much cheering, and was escorted through the streets by a detachment of the Loyal Suffolk Hussars, with the Sikh Prince Frederick Duleep Singh as second-in-command. When they reached the College, the Prince, immensely stylish in his Field-Marshal’s full-dress uniform with plumes and baton, was greeted by the Master, Dr Norman Ferrers (1846), a distinguished mathematician and former Vice-Chancellor. But unfortunately, Dr Ferrers was by now so handicapped by arthritis that

by Richard Duncan-Jones (1963) Life Fellow and greatgrandson of ES Roberts (1865)

he could make only a token appearance – although his wife Emily Ferrers did attend the lunch. That left ES Roberts, who was one of the College Tutors, as well as Colonel of the Volunteers, to hold the fort. As a result, Mrs Roberts was the Prince’s hostess and it was she who welcomed him to an ivy-clad Caius Court, where members of the College in their gowns were drawn up on one lawn and the luncheon guests on the other. She later wrote that ‘it was my part to go forward alone, in full public view (an ordeal for a shy woman), curtsey low, and shake hands. As I did so, the Prince said to me, with his usual sympathy, “I’m so glad it’s a fine day”.’ After the guests had been introduced, they briefly adjourned to the Tutor’s house (the present-day Colyton Hall, with part of the present Senior Parlour and adjacent rooms), before Mrs Roberts asked the Prince to take her into luncheon.

The Prince had been asked beforehand whether he would like a large luncheon party in Hall, or a small one in the Combination Room. He chose the second, and the resulting lunch for twenty was perhaps small

by Victorian standards. Among army guests were the inspecting officer, Col. Henry Corry, and an array of generals, though not the absent Corps Adjutant, Major Earle, whom the Prince praised in his speech as ‘the second Founder of the Corps’. The academic guests included the Vice-Chancellor (Charles

Smith, Master of Sidney Sussex) with his wife; the Master of Trinity, Montagu Butler; the celebrated historian, Lord Acton; and Sir Richard Jebb, the Regius Professor of Greek (builder of Springfield, which Caius now owns). At luncheon the Prince sat between Mr and Mrs Roberts. He ‘was most kind in trying to find subjects to interest me’ (Mrs Roberts wrote), ‘but he and my husband talked a great deal, and with a friendly ease.’

And happily ‘the College chef put forth his best endeavours, and the result, I think, was excellent.’ Not for nothing did Christopher Smart refer to the College as ‘culinary Caius’.

After lunch the Prince and his staff drove off through Trinity to the parade ground in Grange Road. The Prince was very familiar with these events, having witnessed the first Cambridge inspection in 1861, held on Parker’s Piece. He had even once commanded the combined Oxford and Cambridge Volunteers at the Volunteer Review in Hyde Park in 1864. On this occasion (in the words of the Cambridge Chronicle) ‘there was a ceremonial parade, and then the Battalion went through certain manoeuvres, and ended with an attack formation. The Battalion was then formed up, and, deploying into line, advanced in review order, and gave the royal salute. A hollow square was formed, and His Royal Highness briefly addressed the men’.

In his speech the Prince said ‘when Colonel Roberts invited me to come down to

inspect you, I had little doubt that I should be most gratified with your appearance and your drill. I can only say that I have not been disappointed... Let me congratulate you, Colonel Roberts, upon the very efficient regiment you command... I am glad to be here today and I feel proud to be Honorary Colonel of this regiment, as I have been for many years... What I have seen today is highly creditable to this University, of which I have been so long a member.’

This stirring display left no time for returning to Caius. The Prince departed from the parade ground in a carriage placed at his disposal, in time to catch the 4.53 train back to London. Given that he had only reached Cambridge at 1.27, with a festive lunch before the inspection set for 3.00, the timetable must have been extremely tight.

But apparently, all the elaborate arrangements ran smoothly and with gratifying efficiency. Mrs Roberts wrote that ‘later we had kind appreciative letters from the Prince’s Secretary. We heard (not officially, but reliably) that my husband would have been knighted, but that he happened to be a clergyman.’

Dr Casey preached the following sermon in the College Chapel on the centenary of Armistice Day, 11 November 2018.

‘By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept.’ (Psalm 137)

W

hat is patriotism?

A hundred years ago most would have thought that they knew what patriotism was, even if few of them could say what it was. But now it is doubtful that we even know what it is.

Nor is that surprising. Patriotism has long since become a bitterly contested idea, tainted by direct association with the horrors of the last century, and especially its wars.

‘These fought in any case, And some believing, Pro domo, in any case.

Some quick to arm. some for adventure, some from fear of weakness, some from fear of censure, some for love of slaughter, in imagination, learning later… some in fear, learning love of slaughter…’1 The poets of the Great War of 1914-1918 ensured that the innocent complacencies of the previous generation became inexpressible.

The lines I have just quoted, by Ezra Pound, are virtually a reply to a hugely popular poem for English public schoolboys, written only six years before the War began. Replete with lines such as: ‘To honour, while you strike him down,

The foe that comes with fearless eyes,’ it ends: ‘Qui procul hinc,’ the legend’s writ – The frontier grave is far away – ‘Qui ante diem periit: Sed miles, sed pro patria.’ 2 The writers of the years leading up to the Great War have been accused, not without justice, of making a religion out of love of country, of turning nation, empire, England herself into objects of worship. We think of Rupert Brooke’s wish, if he should die, to be thought of as reposing eternally ‘under an English heaven.’ But perhaps we should also think of that liberal, gentle sceptic of Empire, EM Forster, who, in Howard’s End, has a vision of England ‘sailing as a ship of souls, with all the world’s brave fleet accompanying her towards eternity.’

The religious note sounds again and again in patriotism, from that psalm ‘If I forget thee, O Jerusalem…’ to the primeval Shinto conception of the islands of Japan as ‘the land of the gods.’

If patriotism has become for us a fugitive thing, this may be because we find it to be, in its truest form, so rare. For we see it almost always harnessed to the pursuit of power. That love of one’s country is not the same thing as contempt of one’s neighbours, that patriotism is not to be confused with nationalism, is an elementary distinction.

But European history shows how hard it is to separate the pure gold (if such it be) of the one from the dross of the other.

For in how many countries of Europe does the separation really exist? The Spanish sense of nationhood was forged in the Reconquista and culminated in the expulsion of the Jews and Moors from the peninsula.

The same idea of a reconquest from alien

...Always a Caian 15 occupiers was used to justify the bloodletting by the victorious side in the Spanish Civil War. French patriotism has been irretrievably bound up with ideas of struggle and military glory associated with the Revolution. And above all – Germany: a rapidly forged nation state, where unification was connected with war, and where war long remained fundamental to the legitimacy of the state.

But if these are perversions of patriotism, what is the real thing? Aristotle defines as ‘most like true courage’ the valour shown by volunteer citizen soldiers facing death in battle. St Thomas Aquinas calls this ‘political courage.’

St Thomas and Aristotle give the highest praise to physical courage displayed in warfare. This is because they see the voluntary sacrifice of self in the interests of the polis as a loyalty that is nobly directed at the highest end – the good of the people.

Aquinas is happy to adapt this to a Christian text: ‘Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.’

Ah! But what a dangerous saying in this context! How often has it been used to justify mindless obedience in war. St Thomas himself qualifies his account of courage by requiring that it be exercised in a just war. This was how he was able to connect death in war with martyrdom – a connection still made in the Muslim world.

It is here that we often think we can define a better idea of patriotism – a just war fought for values we hold dear, and death for those things, not simply pro patria.

Yet wars fought for ideals have been exceptionally bloody and atrocity-filled.

We think of the Crusades and the Wars of Religion. When the Crusaders captured Jerusalem in 1099 they put seventy thousand Muslims to the sword in a massacre that lasted three days. They burned the Jews alive in their synagogue. After these triumphs the Christian Crusaders moved in solemn procession to the Holy Sepulchre and (in the words of Gibbon) ‘covered the tomb in tears of joy.’

How many wars have there been, of which the wisdom of fighting them has not been questioned by historians? A distinguished work on the Great War describes it as ‘the greatest error in modern

history’ and argues that had this country kept out of it ‘Hitler would have eked out his life as a mediocre postcard painter’ in a Europe dominated by a benign Germany and an unscathed England. There would have been no Bolshevik revolution and its metastases. The nineteenth century would have lasted a little longer. Tens of millions would not have been slaughtered. 3 But must love of country be validated by nice historical calculation, or by our approving a certain policy or philosophy of a government? Or is it something more mysterious, something that more resembles natural religion? 4 Is it above all love of ‘one dear particular place?’ 5 There is an extraordinary moment in Virgil’s Aeneid 6 where Aeneas and his comrades, fleeing Troy, catch sight for the first time of Italy. They see a landscape that is strange and wild, and they behold the Tiber leaping forth to the sea, in swirling eddies,

HMS Vanguard (below) was a Dreadnought fast battleship of the Royal Navy, which patrolled the North Sea in WW1 and saw action in the Battle of Jutland. In July 1917, at Scapa Flow, her magazine exploded and she sank rapidly, taking the lives of 843 of the 845 men on board, including three Caians: Edmund Cox (1892) (far left), a Fleet Surgeon who had coxed the Caius First VIII, Robert Chessex (1896) (left), a Swiss national who taught at Dulwich College Preparatory School, and Hatfield Back (1909) (no photo), RN Chaplain

through a primeval forest. It is a sublime landscape, but also a disturbingly alien one.

The river is darkly mysterious, but it is the Tiber – the familiar, beloved name tells us that this is our landscape, our Italy, a land for which looking on it for an imaginary moment as strangers, we Romans realise our intimate love.7 Virgil is recreating the wonder of patriotic feeling. He evokes the miracle of civilised Rome rising like a genial natural growth from this rugged and rural origin. The loyalties these patriotisms express arise out of something other than our practical life.

It has rightly been said that ‘the life of nations, no less than the life of individuals, is lived largely in the imagination.’ Coleridge said that to a person without imagination the world would be ‘a vast heap of littleness.’

It really does require imagination and the pietas that spring from it for the community of the living to remember the dead, for there to be a sense (in Burke’s words) of ‘a partnership not only between those who are living and those who are dead, but between those who are living and those who are dead, and those who are to be born.’

A hundred years and about seven hours ago today the guns fell silent. On this day above all days we connect patriotism with remembering the dead. It is above all the occasion to speak of the dead. And words are what we need.

As Virgil found words to express the intimately familiar wonder of love of his country and its destiny, and as Shakespeare, in the famous passage from Richard II found such surprising words for his country as fragile object of love – ‘this little world,/This precious stone set in the silver sea’ so we need words to understand what so many people of today find difficult to imagine – that immense sense of belonging which gripped the Jewish captives in Babylon who wept ‘remembering Zion’; of Virgil’s Trojans seeing Italy; of men returning home from the Western Front on glimpsing the White Cliffs; and of that impossible love by which so many laid down their lives for their friends.

That is why it is right to surround our effort to remember with the ceremony of Church and State. For what is being remembered today is so terrible, so emblematic of a century in which ‘The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned…’ 8 that our rituals of remembering are at the same time, and rightly so, attempts to make it bearable. None of us here has any remembrance of the Great War, and yet it has a strange power over the imaginations of those born many decades after it ended, so that for growing numbers it has become the enduring symbol of an end of innocence, of an order which with all its faults and injustices had no notion of the barbarism that was to follow, of the ‘blood-dimmed tide’ that was to spread all over the old empires of central and eastern Europe, not only during that War but in the decades following it.

At my first Annual Gathering as a junior Fellow I contrived to sit with the pre-1914 generation of Caians. My immediate neighbour was from the intake of 1904-5.

I remember them as high spirited, determined to enjoy the moment, and even to talk to a young don whose experiences were utterly remote from their own. After all, they were survivors. But they were reticent, and memories came out, as it were, by accident.

I blush also to remember as a junior Fellow

...Always a Caian 17 the inexplicable impertinence with which for no reason at High Table I suddenly asked a dining companion decades my senior: ‘Rudolph, have you ever been dead drunk?’

‘Just once, dear boy, just once. It was the battle of Vimy Ridge. You see, it was a salient and we were surrounded on three sides by the Jerries. That day three quarters of our chaps were casualties. We all went into Arras and drank champagne for the whole evening.

I don’t remember a thing after that. I can’t think how my horse got me back to the barracks.’

Sir Rudolph Peters – immensely distinguished medical scientist; Honorary Fellow; offered the Mastership of Caius; worked gallantly among the wounded at Vimy Ridge, mentioned in dispatches; Military Cross with Bar. Or of a Caian career chosen almost at random: Cuthbert John Burn (1912); admitted as an Exhibitioner in Classics.

He was seriously wounded at Ypres on 7 November 1914. Shot while lying on the ground, he suffered a severe penetrating wound to the left upper arm. He was even more severely wounded August 1915 at Hooge – hit in the head, in the right frontal region, by a bomb fragment. He was in hospital for six days, and returned immediately to the front. However, he started to suffer bouts of tiredness, loss of memory, shakes, and generally exhibited symptoms of shock. He was also suffering from Romberg’s syndrome where half of the face becomes distorted. He was sent home as unfit to serve.

Further surgery on the face was necessary and Cuthbert suffered severely from tinnitus. He spent his time, however, learning modern Greek and improving his French, for he hoped to become an interpreter after the War. After recovering, he returned to the front. He was killed on 1 October 1917. He has no known grave.

Of the 44 eligible to serve, from the 1904-5 intake, 36 volunteered, and of those, 17 were mentioned in dispatches, wounded, or killed. Diana Summers has calculated that of all the officers killed on the first day of the Somme – the bloodiest day in the whole

history of the British army – two per cent were Caians.

Of course, my pre-Great War dining companions remembered their friends, who had gone ‘from the morning watch even unto night,’ many from quite comfortable circumstances; who looked to successful careers, children and grandchildren; and who had no more wanted to die than anyone here this evening. It was at a Commemoration of Benefactors that I met these men – but of course, they are our benefactors.

A late member of the College, Gavin Stamp (1967), compiling forty years ago an account of the memorial and cemetery architecture of the Great War, writes this of his visit to the memorial which contains most of the 52,000 names of those with no known graves: ‘Sixty years after Passchendaele, the daily evening sounding at the Menin Gate of the Last Post and Retreat, echoing in the Great Hall with its remorseless decoration of columns of names, can still induce anguish, outrage and a sense of hopeless loss in the visitor.’ 9 On this day of days, in this sacred place, with its own columns of names, you will be especially willing to think what it must have been for three quarters of a million young men – of just about your age, some of whom frequented these courts, this chapel, and in whose rooms some of you

may now be living – to have died, not for a policy, nor even a principle, but pro patria.

For the world would indeed be for us ‘a vast heap of littleness’ were there not such occasions on which ‘our souls approach that region where dwell the vast hosts of the dead.’ 10 ‘We are born with the dead: See, they return and bring us with them.

The moment of the rose and the moment of the yew-tree Are of equal duration. A people without history Is not redeemed from time, for history is a pattern Of timeless moments. So, while the light fails On a winter’s afternoon, in a secluded chapel History is now and England.’ 11 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

He knows how lucky he is. ‘Most of the world’s problems could be sorted out,’ he thinks, ‘if everybody could spend five minutes with David Attenborough. I’ve learned a lot from him – as everyone does.’

Mike grew up in St Alban’s and recalls ‘a fantastic Biology teacher called Mr Bowley’ who had a huge influence on him. He ‘wasn’t an outstanding pupil at school’ but he went to Bristol University and there ‘it all clicked’.

He was awarded a rare First Class degree in Zoology and another inspiring mentor, Professor Bob Savage, encouraged him to do a PhD. When he won an SRC Scholarship to Cambridge, he was virtually able to choose his own college.

He walked around, visiting various colleges on a hot summer’s day and spotted a smaller door in a high wall. It was the Gate of Humility. He went through it into Tree Court.

‘And I thought, this is really lovely, very peaceful and quiet. And then I went into the next court, Caius Court, and it reminded me of something classical. It was cool and simple and just felt right. It was strange – an emotional reaction, rather than an intellectual one – and I thought, I really like this.’

He was already interested in film-making – his parents had given him a Super 8 camera for his 21st birthday. He got hold of an early video camera in the Zoology Department, and (importantly) an edit suite, and he won a Shuttleworth Scholarship, which enabled him to make some social documentaries about life in Cambridge and film the bats around Clare Bridge. He later won the chance to make a film for the BBC’s Mick Burke Awards (named for a cameraman/mountaineer who died on Everest) about his expedition to Sri Lanka to film more bats.

He remembers a piece of advice from Professor Simon Maddrell (1964): ‘Don’t ever cruise. There’s no place for cruising. Whatever your age, whatever path you take, you should be striving, striving, always striving to be the best you can be.’ Mike still applies this philosophy in his own leadership roles, wanting people to do well for him, to fulfil their potential.

At Cambridge, he followed that advice in his own work and play, taking on many different activities. ‘I knew pretty early on that the world of academe wasn’t for me’, but he was Nimrods President, stroked the Caius First VIII, coached the Women’s First VIII and played hockey and cricket, where he met a wicket-keeper who ‘knew someone at the BBC’.

As it turned out, it wasn’t the BBC at all, but the Open University, and it led to three years in their film unit, where he directed a lot of presenters – precisely the experience he needed to land a job on a new series, Trials of Life, in 1987, following on from Life on Earth and The Living Planet. He remembers the Executive Producer speaking to the crew, welcoming Mike to the team. He told them it would probably be David Attenborough’s last series: after all, by the time it went to air, he would be nearly 65 and everyone assumed retirement would be beckoning!

Mike started the series as Assistant Producer and ended up making three programmes as Producer. He must have been doing something right. Three decades on,

Mike clearly loves his work. ‘Why would you ever do anything else?’ he asks, rhetorically.

He has, of course, devoted considerable thought to what constitutes a good or even a great natural history programme: essentially, he thinks: ‘It should show you things, rather than telling you, and it should take a perspective that reveals the story through an individual animal’s life.’

The script should be sparse, ‘because the aim of the narration is to contextualise and guide the audience, almost like commentating, gently directing their attention, indicating what particular, personal perspective they might take’. It needs to ask and answer the question ‘what’s at stake for this animal?’ –

to give viewers a reason to care. ‘You certainly know when you’ve got it right: that’s when, during the opening episode of Planet Earth 2, half the nation is yelling simultaneously at a newly-hatched iguana on the screen: “Run, baby, run!”’ The critics agreed, too – Mike won a BAFTA for that series.

Mike freely acknowledges that Sir David Attenborough is the undisputed master of Natural History film-making, having guided it and grown with it throughout its whole history, from Zoo Quest in the 1950s to today’s worldwide blockbuster series. It might seem hard to do anything new, but the BBC Natural History Unit has been doing just that for decades, helped by regular advances in technology, but

Advances in time lapse photography will help to tell these stories, for which Mike says ‘We’ll need to learn to think like a tree!’

The big question now is the same as it was when Mike started in 1987: ‘Who is going to replace David?’ Mike knows the answer to that – nobody! ‘There’s no-one who could: he’s identified with the whole history of Natural History programmes, from the start, right up to today. There will never be anyone else with that breadth of knowledge – or with that unique rapport with the audience.’ And there can be no question of retirement for Mike, while his inspiring presenter is still charging around the (natural) world with undiminished energy and enthusiasm. Why, indeed, would you do anything else?

also tapping into changes in the Zeitgeist, ‘tracking the shifting interest in the environment. As Creative Director, it’s my job to be thinking broadly about “what next?”.

You know, the antennae are out, about what’s happening and what people are going to be talking about in four years’ time!’

It’s no longer enough to show an animal and explain where it lives, what it eats and how fast it can run, because audiences are no longer content to learn about the characteristics of a species: they expect to engage with the individual lives of the animals on screen. We need to get to know the character of an animal, because, just as with human beings, that plays a significant part in determining what will happen to it.

This was the rationale behind Dynasties, the five-part series which focused on the lives of particular families or tribes. It was risky – in that if the ‘lead character’ had died, many months of filming could have been wasted – but hugely rewarding when it worked. Mike is not the sort of person to pat himself on the back, but he felt understandably pleased when David told him: ‘you’ve invented a new Natural History genre, and that doesn’t happen very often!’

The immediate future holds five more Dynasties films, Planet Earth 3 for the BBC’s 100th anniversary, and a new series called Green Planet. ‘This will be a sort of Planet Earth of the plant world. Plants are just as aggressive, or collaborative, or Machiavellian, as animals are.’

by Mick Le Moignan (2004) Joe McGorty

M

ira Katbamna (1995) will be familiar to readers of Once a Caian… as the editor of the other Cambridge alumni magazine, mailed to all members of the University three times a year.

Mira has edited CAM since 2008, but today it is only a small part of her workload.

Just a few years into the job, another university asked her to edit their magazine, working with their chosen design agency.

She agreed but with one condition: she would work with her own team. As she confesses, that ‘team’ didn’t actually exist at the time, but she rapidly recruited them and now, eight years later, she runs a thriving publishing company.

That second magazine was the opportunity her business partner, Stephen Mackey, had been waiting for. Together, they set up YBM, a bespoke content marketing agency that works with organisations – such as banks, law firms, charities and universities – who have, in Mira’s words ‘complicated things to say and who require a more sophisticated approach to their marketing’.

They reach around two million readers in print, and at least twice that online.

Despite overseeing a stable of around 15 titles, Mira still personally edits CAM and remains hands-on across YBM’s portfolio.

‘I feel my job as an editor is to get bored first. I’m the one asking: “Have I read it before? Is it dull?” I'm unforgiving!’

That commitment to rigour makes sense.

Content may be king, but in 2019, as Mira points out, it is freely available in huge quantities. She recalls the in-depth research she undertook before revamping CAM – and the response of one reader, who said he always took the magazine out of the plastic wrap ‘because I can’t recycle it otherwise!’

It’s a lesson Mira drives home with all YBM’s clients: ‘I want everyone to understand that nobody is waiting for their magazine to arrive. They didn’t ask for it. They don’t necessarily want it. And so, if it is not brilliant, they will not be reading it.’

A First Class graduate in History, ‘a survivor of Neil McKendrick’s Prussia’, Mira evolved by a circuitous route into an exacting editor and publisher. From a London comprehensive, she moved to Nottingham High School for Girls to do ‘A’ levels. Her

...Always a Caian 21

teacher, Gill Scott, ‘was passionate about sending girls to Caius to do History. Gill was the one who said: ‘Yes, this is exactly what you’re supposed to be doing, and you will most certainly get in.’ It was an immense gift, because when I arrived it meant I really enjoyed Cambridge.’

Neil McKendrick (1958) supervised Mira in her first year, and in her final year – his second year as Master. ‘I found Neil tremendously supportive and very inspiring.

He was a divisive figure, but my experience was that he was very caring, very invested in his students and passionate about our success.’ Nonetheless, she has ‘huge admiration’ for how Peter Mandler (2001) and Melissa Calaresu (1997) have reinvigorated Caius History over the past 20 years, saying that History at Caius today is an incredibly exciting place to be.

‘I was supposed to be an academic, but I couldn’t find anyone to supervise what I wanted to do. And, like most people, I was also sort of ready to leave Cambridge and go to London. My working life has always been characterised by being a deeply serious, academic person with a visual sense and a strong sense of mischief. At that point, I knew I wanted to do something creative, and I didn’t know how to bring that together with the academic stuff, so initially, I went into the fashion industry… at which I was shockingly bad.’

She worked for Lancôme and for one of the first internet fashion retailers, Boo.com, ‘at a point where the technology really didn’t support internet retail and people were saying “Why would anyone buy clothes online, when they can’t try them on?”’ The company was ahead of its time but ‘went bust spectacularly, the day before payday. It was a tough introduction to start-up life and entrepreneurism, but a valuable one. Not to mention an education in the economics of the real world.’

She held a graduate job offer with a management consultancy, ‘but after a couple of years I had to admit that I was never, ever going to be a

management consultant – much, I think, to everyone’s relief. I knew that really, what I wanted to do was read and write.

Ideally, in silence. So I became a freelance writer. I had no experience or training.

But I pitched some stories to the newspapers until eventually someone bought something.’

She ended up writing for all the nationals, loved writing features and the travel, ‘but the industry was changing very rapidly, as digital disruption got underway.

I was doing more and more commercial work for the big content agencies, and getting irritated because we were producing work that didn’t serve readers and didn’t serve the clients either. Then I saw the job advertised for a CAM Editor and I thought – that is what I am supposed to do.’

Mira’s model for the relationship between CAM and its readers owes something to the supervision system: ‘The whole ethos of Cambridge is, you turn up to supervision as an equal. They will laugh at you if you say something stupid, but you have a right to be there.

‘And I found that so liberating. So I didn’t row, or act or do anything worthy and I was a bit naughty on occasion. But I worked hard because I loved the work. I’m still really passionate about intellectual work. And I enjoyed supervisions because the point is that you turn up and talk to these people who can tell you really interesting stuff, stuff you don’t know and couldn’t access in any other way. That’s fantastic.’

As for today, she is clear about her purpose. ‘Sometimes I say my mission is to ensure that no one ever receives a crappy piece of content, ever in their lives, again.

Life is too short to read nonsense.

And I am highly motivated by not wanting to produce rubbish myself. Making great content is bloody hard work. Truly, if you’re going to go to all that effort, you might as well make it brilliant!’

Like many graduates of ‘McKendrick’s Prussia’, Mira is no shrinking violet. Selfassurance is the badge of all their tribe – usually attended by startling success.

Love of Books T

five o’clock. They all go back out to the suburbs and so on. The undergraduates are still living there, in Caius, and the graduates and the junior Fellows. I found that there was a body of Fellows who lived in the College, and the care they took over junior members, graduate students and junior Fellows and the College basically defined the collegiate experience… The friendships I made in Caius helped to define me and they’re still just as much alive now as they were in 1993 when I left.’

On completing his Research Fellowship, John stayed at Caius and became involved in admissions: ‘We used to travel around the country, trying to persuade bright girls and boys to come to Caius, and it was then that I realised for the first time just how remarkable schools were. At university you are teaching, especially if you teach Greek and Latin, teaching very tiny numbers of people who have decided to go into a particular area of specialisation. But at schools you’ve got everybody before they've decided what they're going to do.’

In 1993, his father died and he had to return to Australia. Having enjoyed the admissions role so much at Caius, he took a job at Sydney Grammar School, one of Australia’s oldest private schools, situated right in the heart of the city. ‘It’s a really interesting place, it’s a kind of quirky, slightly anti-establishment school at the very heart of the establishment, which is a very nice place to be.’

He was Headmaster for 18 years: ‘And then one day I was talking to all the boys at an Assembly at school and I realised that I was Headmaster at the School before any of them were born. And I thought OK, it’s time to go.’ He moved out of Sydney to St Albans and set himself up as a ‘gentleman scholar’, planning to finish various academic and artistic projects: ‘And I was sitting one day in my beautiful library out in the country, and suddenly felt bored and lonely, and thought, you know, this was all a terrible mistake. I'm not really ready to stop yet, so I got this job running the State Library and I’ve been doing this now for about 18 months.’

he fundamental aim of education, at any age, is to set up sound intellectual habits, which students will continue to practise independently for a lifetime – and the most important habit of all is simply reading.

Time spent with a teacher is necessarily limited: ultimately, all students must run their own courses and programmes and find the motivation they need within themselves.

Caius does not provide vocational training for doctors, lawyers, engineers and scientists: we speak of reading a subject – and reading is the heart of the matter, reading widely and deeply, absorbing knowledge and ideas, with critical faculties always keenly engaged, judging and questioning.

Dr John Vallance (1985), the Director of the State Library of New South Wales in Sydney, can visualise a Venn diagram showing how his three careers have overlapped. The core that links them all is reading and a love of books. John is a seventh generation Australian on both sides. In the eighteenth century, one of his father’s forebears came out as a convict and his mother’s family descended from an officer on the same ship.

He grew up in Sydney, studied archaeology at Sydney University and came to St John’s College, Cambridge as an affiliated student, to read Classics for a second BA. He started work on his PhD at St John’s but moved to Caius in 1985 when he won a Research Fellowship.

‘The amazing thing about going to Cambridge was that even though I had no family, no relations in the country, I was welcomed into an extraordinary community, within hours of my arrival, in my time at St John’s and then more so at Caius because I had the privilege of being a Fellow. Caius completely changed my life.’

He believes strongly that one of the great strengths of the College is its resident community: ‘The most obvious distinction between a place like Caius and many other universities, even other university colleges, is that in most places the staff go home at

When he arrived, the State Library, Australia’s oldest and largest library, was rather like the British Library in the 1980s, immensely valuable for scholars who knew what they wanted, but not very welcoming to the general public. John decided to put representative parts of the Library’s collections on display – and built new exhibition galleries to house them. ‘For example, we have a very large collection of very fine early colonial paintings of Sydney and New South Wales, from this part of the world. And the last time they were shown en masse in public was one hundred years ago, in 1919. So, we brought out just under a quarter of the collection, about 320 pictures, and we’ve hung them in a series of newly refurbished galleries.’

He has done the same with representative samples of the Library’s holdings of rare books, manuscripts and photographs, and is in the process of building a map room to display some precious early maps. Already, about 2,000 people a day are coming to visit.

‘But the constituency that was most poorly supported when I came here was the constituency that I’d spent most of my

professional career looking after. It was children. It’s on the record that several State Librarians have said children are not welcome here. They make too much noise. They make a mess. So, I decided that we should build a children’s library.’

Welcoming school groups and individual children to this rather august institution, for reading time and family events, is a radical move that has been warmly received. 200 children attended in May to take part in National Simultaneous Storytime, when a million children all over Australia and New Zealand tuned in to hear a reading of a new, best-selling picture-book, Matt Cosgrove’s Alpacas with Maracas.

John’s team asked for a couple of live alpacas to be brought in, as a surprise for the children – but John was probably more surprised than the children, when the alpacas followed him out on to the Library steps and started kissing him. A photographer from The Sydney Morning Herald who was working on another assignment captured the moment for posterity. John later said the alpacas were ‘very nice, spotlessly clean and very friendly’.

Thinking back to when he left Caius, he

remembers that ‘the fellowship was engaged in very, very fierce and passionate debate about whether or not the College should acquire a long lease on the Cockerell Building and move the College Library next door. And quite a few Fellows were of the view that the Internet would become so important that libraries would no longer exist in the future in their current form.’

Back in Sydney, he encountered the same debate: ‘for a long time, policy makers here believed that digitisation over time would replace the printed book. But what’s actually happened is that digitisation has just become another string to the librarian’s bow, and the preservation and collection of digital material is just another line of activity, alongside the collection of all the other things that big libraries are involved with.’

Happily, reports of the imminent demise of books have proved to be unfounded.

Libraries still spend 80-90% of their annual budgets for acquisitions on physical books.

Humanity’s love affair with the printed word continues. Adults love books. Children love books. And alpacas seem to be very fond of librarians.

Feast &

he study of history has changed radically over the past couple of generations.

Historians are more interested in learning about how our forebears lived, loved, and died, than in the kings who ruled them or the wars that raged around them.

Our predecessors left more evidence than one might think of their everyday lives, their pleasures and preoccupations.

Written texts are not the only sources for this kind of history: paintings, drawings and all kinds of artefacts yield clues about what they ate, how they celebrated landmark occasions, and why and when they chose to be frugal or abstemious.

Food links us all, as growers, sellers, buyers, cooks and consumers. We are defined, socially and culturally, by what we eat and what we don’t eat. This is the subject of an ambitious, interdisciplinary exhibition, Feast & Fast: The art of food in Europe, 15001800, at the Fitzwilliam Museum, through the winter months, from Tuesday 26 November 2019 to Sunday 26 April 2020.

The collaboration between Dr Melissa

Calaresu (1997), the Neil McKendrick Lecturer in History, and Dr Victoria Avery, Keeper of Applied Arts at the Fitzwilliam Museum, builds on the popular exhibition Treasured Possessions, that they co-curated along with Professors Mary Laven of Jesus College and Ulinka Rublack of St John’s College at the Museum in 2015. While the earlier exhibition included food within a larger story of consumption and material culture, Feast & Fast will put food at the centre of a story about religious change and globalisation between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries.

Our current, health-conscious view of food has changed considerably from that of our parents and grandparents, but there were already concerns about the dangers of sugar, overeating and the nature and quality of food supply chains in the early modern period.

The exhibition explores how the arrival and availability of new fruits like pineapples, pomegranates, and other delicacies from distant parts, impacted on the food cultures of the period. How did food choices express religious identities? On what basis did early modern writers question the morality of eating meat and advocate a vegetarian diet?

& Fast A central feature of the exhibition will be historically accurate displays of food, specially created by the renowned food historian, Ivan Day. He will bring to life elaborate table settings, including a Jacobean sugar banquet and a Baroque feasting table with several bird pies, and, as part of the public programming, will conduct sensory workshops with recreated recipes from the past. Participants will be able to experience at first hand the tastes and smells of early modern food.

‘Public engagement’, Melissa and Vicky say, ‘is at the heart of the exhibition and our mission as historians and curators.’ The Cambridge Arts and Humanities Impact Fund has given them a grant to co-produce a collaborative film with local communities and Egg & Spoon Films, so people can tell personal stories about food meanings and memories. As part of the exhibition, the film will enrich the visitor experience by including contemporary views on feasting and fasting to complement the historical perspective.

Rarely seen treasures will be displayed from College collections, the University Library, the Museum itself and from a number of local museums, as well as some

recently restored paintings from the Fitzwilliam Museum, all with the aim of prompting people to think afresh about the changing role that our relationship with food has played, over the centuries, in defining who we are and what we aspire to be.

tudent Support initiatives at Caius are vital. One in five of our current undergraduates is eligible for means-tested financial support and many of our postgraduates also require assistance. The College is committed to ensuring that all successful candidates are able to pursue their studies at Caius, regardless of their financial circumstances.

UK and EU undergraduates now pay £9,250 in fees for each year of their studies at Cambridge. Loans to cover these fees are available from the Student Loans Company.

In addition, students have to find approximately £9,000 per year to cover their basic maintenance costs, accommodation, food, books, travel etc. The government no longer provides maintenance grants, so the University and the Colleges have had to step in to provide financial assistance to those who could not otherwise afford these expenses.

Caius, like other Cambridge Colleges, offers a range of funding to its students, including means-tested bursaries, postgraduate studentships, travel grants, choral scholarships and other music awards.

In 2018-19, we provided 94 means-tested undergraduate bursaries. At Cambridge a UK or EU student with household income of less than £25,000 is entitled to a full, nonrepayable, annual bursary of £3,500 towards maintenance costs. Partial bursaries are offered on a tapered basis, up to a household income of £42,620. Students who are not supported by their families, e.g. those who

are estranged from their parents, those who have been living in care and mature-age students, get a higher bursary of up to £5,600 a year. If necessary, they can also be assisted to live in Cambridge year-round.

Students are means-tested every year, in case their circumstances have changed.

Why do bursaries matter? By providing this support, Caius aims to alleviate the financial burden on students and their families. It enables us to widen participation and access to the College, enhance academic achievement and give all students the university experience they deserve.

A recent report from the University’s Faculty of Education, The Financial Support Evaluation Research Report (2019) concludes that Cambridge Bursaries boost academic success and reduce anxiety. Researchers found that financial pressures can create underlying worry and a strain on familial relationships for students. Students and their families not only have to find the money for

their academic needs, they also have to cover basic expenses vital to the University experience. Financial support helps with a wide range of costs, so that less well-off families do not have to pay for other ‘hidden’ aspects of University life. Students use their bursaries to cover food and living costs plus “one off” purchases such as a computer, specialist equipment, books, clothes, shoes or a bicycle. This funding enables all students to engage fully in all of the academic and extracurricular activities that are part of the educational experience at Cambridge.

Caius spends more than £1 million on bursaries, scholarships and awards for undergraduates and postgraduates each year. A significant portion of bursaries are endowed or paid on an annual basis by alumni, parents, Fellows and friends of the College. £100,000 of investable funds provides one £3,500 bursary each year. Some Caians have endowed named bursaries in perpetuity. Others have funded a £3,500

bursary for three to four years, thereby reducing the burden of maintenance costs for one student throughout his or her time at Caius.

Each year, the Caius Fund is an important source of funding for our student support initiatives. The Caius Fund Telephone Campaigns, held in Spring in the UK, and at Thanksgiving in the US, and Chinese New Year, aim to inform Caians, parents and friends about the transformative effects our bursaries have on students’ lives. We are enormously grateful for this support from our donors, at a time when academic income is largely static and costs continue to rise. These Campaigns give our Student Fundraisers a chance to speak with Caians, parents and other benefactors about the impact their support has on the day-to-day life of the College.

Rachael Steeles (2018) is a Historian who was a Student Fundraiser in the 2019

Spring Campaign. Rachael has also benefited directly from a Caius Fund bursary. She notes that her bursary is “helping me to live through the University culture without being too left behind.” Furthermore, Rachael’s bursary has helped her to access the books she needs for her dissertation, in an area not covered by books already in our Library.

Bursaries are also available for international and postgraduate students.

College support complements University scholarships and bursaries. Essential academic expenses, such as books and travel for research, can be subsidised by College grants. This support creates opportunities for all students to broaden their knowledge and encourages more ambitious research and wider learning.

Caius also aims to widen participation and access to the College by ensuring that financial circumstances are not a barrier to applying. Our Schools Liaison Officer, Katy Lewis, organises between two and four

school visits a week, particularly targeting those from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Katy also helps to organise various access events such as the Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) Conference and the Women in Economics Day. The Financial Support Evaluation Research Report found that students receiving full Cambridge University bursaries achieved final examination grades that were at least as high as those who received only a partial bursary or no bursary at all. This highlights the positive influence financial support can have: it lessens the impact of social inequality on academic achievement and outcome. Our financial and access initiatives work in parallel, supporting applicants and students from all socio-economic backgrounds.

Student support is essential to ensuring that all Caians have equal opportunities and that potential applicants are not deterred by financial fears. We are determined to ensure that no student has to refuse the offer of a place at Caius because of not being able to afford to come here. With your help, we strive to give all Caius students the educational experience they deserve.

Between 1 July 2012 and 30 June 2018, over £32 million was received in lifetime gifts and bequests from Caians, parents and friends of the College, resulting in a very significant and much needed increase in our Endowment.

For 671 years, Caius Students and Fellows have been supported by the generosity of their predecessors.

We are proud to continue this tradition.

or the benefit of the few people in the UK who failed to hear the cheers, whistles and shouts of ‘Go the Mighty!’ emanating from Caius Meadow beside the River Cam at about 5.55pm on Saturday 14 June, the Caius Men’s First VIII, known as M1, finished Head of the River in the 2019 May Bumps, matching its Headship in the Lents.

Martin Wade (1962) pointed out that he had been President of CBC for 14 years, during which time the Club had won 14 Headships. He felt there was clearly a causative link between the two events.

Martin is one of the most modest men alive and always the first to give credit where it is truly deserved – to the crews, coxes and coaches who rise from their beds at ungodly hours in the depths of winter to lay the foundations for such successes – but the general sense of euphoria was irresistible and continued throughout the evening. The young Greek gods and Amazonians of CBC swapped their rowing gear for bow ties and ball gowns and proved, over a splendid

Caius M1 wearing the Cambridge equivalent of laurel wreaths to celebrate achieving a bump in the Mays

Heads w Bumps Supper in the Hall, that if there were any prizes for partying, they would have won those as well.

The College had eight boats on the river in the Mays, four Men’s and four Women’s, and between them, they moved up 21 places on the various Division tables. M1, M2 and M4 won blades (traditionally awarded for four bumps, although M1 only needed three bumps to take the top spot and rowed over on the final day). W1 bumped Downing 1 on the first day and then rowed over behind Emmanuel 1 for the next three days, to finish

third in a Division where all the top crews were evenly matched. W2, W3 and W4 all achieved three bumps and so narrowly missed out on winning their oars. M3 bumped up and down between the top of Division 4 and the bottom of Division 3, finishing where they started, so no Caius boat lost ground.

CBC Captain, Chris Gilmartin commented: ‘This was a truly remarkable week, and all our rowers and coxes deserve to celebrate their great achievements!”

As indeed they did.

we win CBC’s Senior Treasurer, Dr Jimmy Altham (1965) writes: ‘The Headship of the Mays is the most celebrated success, but for a truly ambitious Boat Club there are still higher peaks, and M1 scaled all but the highest of them. Competing against universities across the UK, they reached the final of the BUCS Regatta, they broke the course record in the Championship of the Thames Head race, and won the university and colleges division at the Marlow regatta, thereby prequalifying for the Temple Cup at Henley, a rare achievement for any college. At Henley, they

finally met their match, a formidable crew from Brown University, which has more oarsmen on sports scholarships than we have athletes, and despite a valiant effort, suffered defeat by 1¾ lengths. We always say ‘Go the Mighty’, and mighty they went.’

And in other news...

A welcome addition to CBC’s team is the new Senior Bursar, Robert Gardiner (2018), enticed away from Murray Edwards (see p.2), to coach M4. Under the lash of Robert’s encouragement, M4 won blades at both Lent

and May Bumps. In fact, M4 had to pre-qualify or ‘get on’ to take part in the Mays, and were ‘randomly’ assigned the lowest spot on the ladder. As Robert observed: ‘by holding the “footship” at the start of the week and the headship at the end, Caius bestrode the Cam like a colossus!’

Before any sceptical reader imputes an impure motive for inviting the Bursar to join the Boat Club, let us recall that CBC, thanks to its many generous benefactors, is already housed in a magnificent new boathouse to match their formidable achievements.

Thanks to Humphrey Cobbold (1983), the CEO of PureGym, CBC is also assured of financial sponsorship for their running costs for at least the next four years. PureGym is a nationwide company with 240+ gyms and over a million members. Humphrey and his father, Anthony Cobbold (1955) watched Caius defeat Wadham College, Oxford in the Oxford v Cambridge intercollegiate race at the Henley Boat Races. Anthony last rowed for Caius at Henley in 1958 but his CBC blazer and cap still fit perfectly!

One indication of the coxing talent at CBC is that Matthew Holland (2016), who coxed the Cambridge Men’s Blue Boat to victory in the Boat Race this year, two years after doing the same for the Cambridge Women’s Blue Boat, took part in the May Bumps as an oarsman, rowing at 3 in M3.

And finally Rugby...

Last but not least, the ‘wet bobs’ didn’t soak up all the glory this year: in Rugby, the ‘dry bobs’ of the Caius First XV reached the final in Cuppers. Next year, who knows?
