From the Master The main focus of this fifteenth issue of Once a Caian… is our tribute to a man who has overcome unimaginable difficulties to become the most famous scientist in the world. This year, we celebrated the latest milestone in Stephen Hawking’s amazing life – fifty years as a Fellow of Caius. When Stephen speaks, the world listens. When he speaks to Caians about supporting the College, we follow his lead. Five new names have been carved in stone on the Benefactors’ Wall this year, representing four million-pound gifts. One such benefactor, Yvonne Lui, said she was ‘honoured to give to the College of Stephen Hawking’. We are all honoured to belong to it. We are determined to safeguard our educational standards by putting the College on a secure financial footing. To that end, we have assembled a professional fundraising team that we know is the envy of most Oxbridge colleges. Dr Anne Lyon has led that team, as Fellow and Director of Development, since 2001. In that time, she has generated nearly £100 million in gifts and legacy pledges. This is an extraordinary performance, probably unequalled in a British educational institution. We are profoundly grateful to Anne for what she has achieved – but it is time for her to pass the torch to her successor, James Howell (opposite page), who worked as her Deputy Director for six years before taking over as Fellow and Director of Development on 1 January 2015. For the time being, we have persuaded Anne to continue as Director of Development for Principal Gifts. In that capacity, she will continue to exercise her considerable charm and phenomenal fundraising skills with benefactors contemplating six, seven and (we hope) eight-figure gifts to the College. Also in this issue, we celebrate Caian successes in many other fields – for our students, on the river, in music and and in TV’s University Challenge, and for our Fellows, numerous elections to the Royal Society and the British Academy. We also acknowledge the work of outstanding Caians in many fields, high achievers like Leslie Bricusse, the double Oscar-winning composer and lyricist, Simon Russell Beale, ‘the finest actor of his generation’, and New Zealand’s Douglas Myers, whose generosity and vision set the standard for our revived culture of benefaction and who still leads the way as our greatest living donor. There are always too many stories for Once a Caian… – the Editor tells me he could fill the magazine twice over – but we share these tales with you as examples of what some Caians are doing to make the world a better place, and to assure you that you have every right to feel proud of being a member for life of this wonderful College – as proud as we all are of Stephen Hawking.

On 30 May 2015, Caius celebrated Professor Stephen Hawking’s first fifty years as a Fellow of the College. Members of the Stephen Hawking Circle and guests attended a magnificent dinner in his honour in the Hall. Dan White
O
ver the past half century, Stephen Hawking has come to embody the finest values of the College we are honoured to share with him – an open mind, a keen intellect, courage and tenacity. A mind that will not entertain new ideas will never be brave enough to challenge orthodoxy – or determined enough to complete demanding tasks. Most of us, given two years to live, would prepare to make an exit. Stephen refused to accept his doctors’ dire forecasts and simply pressed on with his research, insisting on his right to try and realise his exceptional potential. It cannot have been easy: he suffered devastating blows along the way, the progressive loss of almost all movement and ultimately the power of speech. But his life has been a triumph. He has revolutionized human understanding of the universe and has become the most skilful scientific communicator of our age, latterly with the invaluable help of his daughter, Lucy. Caians everywhere are immensely proud of his achievements: he is an inspiration to us all. Yao Liang

Fifty Years a Fellow of Caius

For his part, Stephen has always acknowledged his debt to Caius and has repaid it many times over. In 2007, he agreed to a request from Dr Anne Lyon (2001), as Director of Development, to set up the Stephen Hawking Circle, to recognise benefactors who had made gifts to the College totalling at least £50,000. All members are invited, with spouse or partner, to meet Stephen, to hear him give a talk and dine with him afterwards in College. The occasion of Stephen reaching his fiftieth year as a Fellow of Caius prompted a unique celebration. All members of the Stephen Hawking Circle were invited and, unsurprisingly, very few declined. Stephen arrived early and showed extraordinary patience in being photographed with his guests. The atmosphere in the Courts beforehand and later in the Hall was one of almost overwhelming joy. Many marvelled at the way the sheer force of Stephen’s personality, his unique combination of whimsical humour and dogged determination, enabled them to feel a real personal connection with him.

Before the dinner in Hall, Stephen warmly welcomed his guests and spoke of his gratitude to the College ‘for giving me a place to live and work half a century ago – and for supporting me ever since… ’

‘For myself, Gonville & Caius has been my academic home for almost all my time in Cambridge, and we have grown even closer as time has gone on. I was surprised and very pleased to be elected to a fellowship here back in 1965, not least as Caius fellowships were some of the best paid at the time! That fellowship was a turning point in my life as the College made sure I could continue my research, despite my increasing disability. ‘When I became ill with pneumonia while in Switzerland in the mid-eighties, doctors asked my wife Jane, if my life support should be terminated. It was Caius that flew me back to Cambridge in a chartered plane, for treatment that saved my life. I was then in Addenbrookes for quite a time, unable to speak or hold anything. And during that time, my students participated in a rota to keep my mind occupied by reading to me. I was even able to laugh at the funny bits. ‘A flat was adapted for me and my family, in West Road, now the site of the student accommodation building that happens to have my name, and my children had the grounds of Harvey Court to play in. I wrote A Brief History of Time there. The college installed a lift in its beautiful medieval buildings and they were adapted for the twenty-first century technology I need to get around and work. And let’s not forget the students here, they even let me announce their May Ball theme, a brief history of time, last year. I went to the May Ball, and enjoyed it greatly. ‘And I well remember the party held in this Hall to celebrate my sixtieth birthday, when the highlight for me was the arrival of a Marilyn Monroe lookalike, to sing Happy Birthday. ‘So, Caius gave me a home, literally and figuratively, and is a constant thread running through my life. I wonder whether a young ambitious academic, with my kind of severe condition now would find the same generosity and support in much of higher education. Even with the best goodwill, would the money still be there? I fear not.’

In reply, the Master, Professor Sir Alan Fersht (1962), answered Stephen’s question: ‘For Caius at least, I can say emphatically “Yes!”’

‘The Fellowship is a family, just as our students, our staff and our alumni are all parts of the Caian family, and as our magazine reminds us each year, Once a Caian… always a Caian… It sometimes goes unnoticed, what we do to support our College family. You all know about the Stephen Hawking Building, built through the generosity of nearly 2,000 donors. You will also have read about Alice Cheng House, which is currently being redeveloped as part of the Boathouse project and will provide the best quality accommodation for some of our graduate students. ‘Last week, along with the Mayor of Cambridge, I opened a development of twelve three-bedroom houses, just off the Newmarket Road. These have been built by the College as an investment, one that will benefit our younger Fellows and staff who struggle to find affordable rental accommodation of this type in Cambridge’s buoyant property market. The development has been named Gillies Close for an eminent Caian, Sir Harold Gillies (1901), the father of Plastic Surgery, whose pioneering work helped to rebuild the faces and the lives of young men who had suffered terribly in the First World War.’

Sir Alan shared some of his own memories of Stephen’s arrival at Caius in 1965, when he himself was just starting his PhD, and the later years, when Stephen was wheelchair-bound and his speech became slurred and very hard to understand: ‘Technology came to the rescue and gave us the voice that has become his trademark and we now all recognise instantly as Stephen. Now, a single sentence can take several minutes for him to compose, but Stephen has learned to be economical with words and his interjections around High Table are always pertinent and often coloured by his wicked sense of humour. ‘Stephen’s scientific work went from strength to strength, with a succession of insights into the nature of black holes and the origins of the universe. In 1974 he was elected to the Royal Society, at the exceptionally early age of 32, and by the end of the 1970s he had advanced to one of the most distinguished posts at the University – the Lucasian Professorship of Mathematics, once held by Sir Isaac Newton. Stephen held this chair with distinction for 30 years, until reaching retiring age in 2009. ‘A Brief History of Time, first published in 1988, was on The Times best-seller list for a record-breaking 237 weeks, has been translated into 40 languages, and has sold over 10 million copies worldwide. Those of you who have attended one of our Stephen Hawking Circle dinners will have received a copy personally thumb-printed by Stephen as a memento of the evening. Marilyn and I have a copy and it is much admired by our friends and visitors.’ Sir Alan endorsed Stephen’s thanks to the benefactors in the Hall, whose gifts to Caius amounted to ‘an amazing £14.4 million. If you add to this the legacy pledges that you have put in writing, that’s another £16.4 million, making a total of over £30 million … ‘I’m delighted we have Dr Jimmy Altham here tonight, who was admitted as a Fellow of the College on the same evening as Stephen, 50 years ago. His half century will be celebrated tomorrow with the naming of a splendid new boat for our Women’s First Eight, which will carry Jimmy’s name. ‘In 1965, none of us dreamt that we would be here, fifty years on, to celebrate this day. I say none, but I suspect I actually mean “all but one”. Stephen’s expectation of Time is somewhat different to that of the rest of us. In 2009 Stephen sent an open invitation to Time Travellers to attend a party that had already happened. On that occasion, no-one showed up – perhaps we can remember to go next time. I hope that he’ll choose the same location for his next Time Travellers’ party: 52 degrees, 12 minutes and 21 seconds North, zero degrees, 7 minutes and 4.7 seconds East, or as we know it – Caius.’

Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference. The next major call to arms was the catastrophic earthquake in Sichuan province in May 2008. Over 87,000 lives were lost and almost 5 million made homeless – but bare statistics never convey the horror of such an event as clearly as a personal involvement: a number of Zoe’s friends from school were visiting Sichuan at the time, on a school trip. Fortunately, they were all unharmed but Yvonne said: “I felt so grateful that Zoe was safe in Hong Kong!” Knowing that many others were less fortunate, she helped to organise part of the massive humanitarian relief operations, both at Sichuan and when
collaboration with the US-based, global environmental organisation, Conservation International, of which Yvonne is on the Board of Directors. The extent and breadth of her philanthropic commitments led to the establishment of the Yvonne L K Lui Foundation in 2013. The question remains: why Caius? As a committed supporter of environmental causes, Yvonne was invited to attend a United for Wildlife dinner hosted by Prince William in London, prior to his first visit to China. Samir Thapa (1995), the son of Kalyan Thapa (1964), then invited her to visit Caius. For once in an extremely busy life, she had a couple of days to spare. She later explained:
another terrible earthquake occurred at Qing Hai in 2010. Young Zoe’s interests have guided the direction of Yvonne’s philanthropic work more than once. Yvonne, Zoe and her brother Christopher (born 2010) all started learning ballet from a very early age. Yvonne is VicePresident of the Beijing International Ballet and Choreography Competition and has sponsored the ballet festival for four years with a number of scholarships and prizes. Marine conservation is another enthusiasm shared by mother and daughter, resulting in an ambitious project to create protection zones around the nations of South East Asia for the Chinese White Dolphin, whose habitat is threatened by water pollution and overfishing of their food supply. Both this and a Green Sea Turtle tracking program were organised in close
‘I was very impressed by the College’s history, its longstanding commitment to research and its forward-thinking outlook.’ She had never been to Cambridge before this but remembered being captivated by a talk given in 2006 by Professor Stephen Hawking (1965) at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. She was therefore delighted to meet Stephen in person and to sit opposite him at High Table at the dinner to celebrate the first fifty years of his Fellowship in May 2015. On learning from Anne Lyon of the College’s need for support, Yvonne did not hesitate to make a most generous gift. In her view, ‘Gonville and Caius has not only a long, rich and interesting past, but a very bright future ahead.” She looks forward to developing a closer association with the College over the years to come.

n our last issue, we celebrated adding the names of John and Ann Haines and Alice Cheng to the College’s Benefactors’ Wall. In the 2014 -15 academic year, five more names have been added, representing four further million pound donations. The 36th and youngest major benefactor is someone hitherto unknown to most Caians, Dr Yvonne Lai Kwan Lui, a chemical engineer and philanthropist from Hong Kong, who says she is “very honoured to support Stephen Hawking’s College.” Yvonne first came to England as a teenager, to study at Canford School in Dorset. She went on to King’s College, London, to read Chemistry, hoping to join a family business trading in chemical materials. To this end, she took a PhD in Chemical Engineering and still remembers her supervisor, Professor Carolyn Koh, with enormous gratitude and affection. The arrival of her daughter Zoe in 2002 interrupted her academic studies, but only briefly. Yvonne credits Zoe with giving her the motivation to complete her PhD (in gas hydrates in the oil industry) in almost record time – two years and nine months. In her research at King’s, Yvonne used the Monte Carlo Simulation method of risk analysis to deduce the structures of complex molecules. This computerised mathematical technique quantifies risk, to improve decision-making. The scientists who developed the atomic bomb were the first to use the technique, which they named after the gambling mecca in Monaco. Yvonne was keen to extend its scientific approach to financial models, so back in Hong Kong, she joined the investment bank, Goldman Sachs. There is an interesting parallel here with Caius’ Director of Development for Principal Gifts, Dr Anne Lyon (2001), who also applied techniques, skills and the formulaic approach she used as a researcher in Chemistry to create a more precise, scientific model for fundraising, to the great benefit of the College. In 2006, Yvonne spent “a very intensive year learning about financial markets” but then moved back to her family’s highly successful real estate business. She realised very quickly that she wanted to do something more with her life: “I felt my family was exceptionally lucky to have such successful businesses and I wanted to give something back.” Her first philanthropic project was building 500 mini-clinics in the Chinese province of Hebei, back in 2005. The smallscale clinics represented a cost-effective way of alleviating the needs of as many people as possible. Over the years, Yvonne developed her political career, and in 2013 she was appointed a member of the Beijing Municipal

nother new name on the Benefactors’ Wall also hails from the Far East, and he is also establishing a growing connection with the College. Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Dr Jeffrey Cheah AO from Malaysia has much in common with our second founder, Dr John Caius. Already, Jeffrey has achieved the rare distinction of creating his own town, Bandar Sunway, complete with two large hotels, a major hospital, two universities, a vast shopping mall, a theme park and housing for about 200,000 residents and students. Jeffrey was installed as a Gonville Fellow Benefactor in the College Chapel in
Born in Pusing in the State of Perak, he graduated in Business Studies from what is now Victoria University in Melbourne. Back in Malaysia, he worked for a short while as an accountant before branching out alone. He found a disused tin mine on an 860-acre site in Petaling Jaya, converted it into a residential and commercial complex and began to realise his vision. Jeffrey believes in aiming high and is a great admirer of John Harvard. His ambition for Sunway University is for it ultimately to become ‘the Harvard of the East’. Accordingly, through the Jeffrey Cheah Foundation, he has endowed the Jeffrey Cheah Chair in South East Asian Studies at

November 2014. He was sorry to miss the “Fifty Years a Fellow” celebrations for Stephen Hawking, but he had a pressing prior engagement: the following day the Prime Minister of Malaysia was due to open the new Bus Rapid Transport system, linking the town of Sunway to Kuala Lumpur’s Light Rail Transport network – marking the successful completion of a US$200 million partnership between the Sunway Group and the Malaysian Government. Jeffrey is the Founder and Chairman of the Sunway Group, an international conglomerate operating mainly in construction and real estate. He feels he has been very fortunate and is passionate about ‘giving back to society’, especially by raising standards of education. His motto is: ‘I aspire to inspire before I expire!’
the Harvard of the West, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The connection with Caius came about as a result of the hugely successful Royal Charity Dinner organised by Caesar Loong (1983) in Kuala Lumpur in April 2012, to raise funding for a College Lectureship in the name of Tun Suffian (1936). Dr Cheng Teik Goh (1973), a member of the Governing Board of Sunway University, called Caesar after that event to say that Sunway might be interested in forming an association with Caius. He put Caesar in touch with Jeffrey Cheah’s representative, Professor Jarlath Ronayne, who then worked with Dr Anne Lyon to develop a strategic plan to the benefit of both institutions. For the last ten years or so, Jarlath, a graduate of Trinity College, Dublin and St John’s College, Cambridge, has played a
vital role in Sunway’s educational projects. His association with our Master, Sir Alan Fersht (1962), goes back to doing their PhDs in Chemistry at the same time at Lensfield Road. Jarlath was founding ViceChancellor of Victoria University, Melbourne, and retired from that post in 2003, to become a Visiting Fellow at Wolfson College, Cambridge, and concurrently a President’s Guest at St John’s. He then accepted an appointment as Director and later Vice-Chancellor of Sunway University College, as it then was, and guided it through the rigorous process which culminated in its establishment as a full university in January 2011. Jeffrey Cheah’s original aim for Sunway College was to provide muchneeded tertiary education places for students in Malaysia, where such places were then in short supply. Originally, Sunway thrived by providing foundation courses to enable students to gain admission to overseas universities. Later, a number of innovative programmes were instituted with US, UK and Australian universities, whereby students would complete part of their degrees in Malaysia and part overseas. An alliance with Monash University resulted in the establishment of Malaysia’s first foreign university branch campus in 1998. A wide range of courses is taught at the Monash Malaysia campus, including medicine, which is delivered at the Jeffrey Cheah School of Medicine. Today, the Sunway and Monash campuses have about 14,000 students. Sunway University offers degrees in Arts, Business, Science & Technology and Hospitality, Tourism & Culinary Management, with a major Centre in South East Asian Studies. There is still an international element, as Sunway’s degrees are validated by the University of Lancaster. Sunway University’s latest initiative is a School of Music, to be set up in association with Trinity College, Dublin and the Royal Irish Academy of Music. The initial agreement between Caius and Sunway provides funding for two Professorial Fellowships at the College. The inaugural Professorial Fellows are Professor Kay-Tee Khaw (1991), our worldleading Professor of Gerontology, and Professor John Todd FRS (1980), who is researching Type 1 diabetes, looking for possible genetic causes and treatments. Kay-Tee and John will travel to Malaysia to give annual lectures at Sunway University. Dr Caius himself, who brought the new science of Anatomy from Italy to Britain, would thoroughly approve of this international sharing of ideas.

rofessor Eric Shooter (1942) has devoted his life to research in biochemistry and genetics. He was always more interested in the scientific results than the financial rewards. Regeneron, a pharmaceutical company he helped co-found in 1988, has recently started to enjoy extraordinary success. The staff has grown from 30 to 3,000 employees, and last year’s sales topped US$2.3 billion. Regeneron is now one of Fortune magazine’s ‘Best Companies to Work For ’. Eric and Elaine grew up in Burton-on-Trent. They married in 1949 and have been inseparable for the past 66 years. Their life has its challenges. Elaine recently suffered a debilitating stroke and Eric needs regular kidney dialysis treatment. However, reflecting on their wonderful life together, they have decided to share their good fortune with the next generation at Caius by way of a substantial gift to support undergraduate education and research. Eric’s family history is inspiring. Before the First World War, his father worked in a coal mine taking care of underground pit ponies. To escape this drudgery, he volunteered for the Army and served for four years in France and Austria. On his return home, he spent his evenings studying at Nottingham University and finally achieved the distinction of becoming a Mines Inspector. Both his sons read Natural Sciences at Caius: Kenneth (1940) came up two years before Eric and they were joined by their lifelong friend Bob Throssell (1941). As a chemist at Caius, Eric was one of only nine students who were allowed to complete a degree in 1945 without taking a break for National Service. He worked hard, became a scholar, played a lot of sports and was Captain of Rugby in his last year. Eric completed his Ph.D. in Chemistry in 1950. In 1949, Eric and Elaine spent a memorable yearlong “honeymoon” at the University of Wisconsin, where they made another lifelong friend in the V.C.’s son, Robert ‘Buzz’ Baldwin. Buzz went to England on a Rhodes Scholarship during that year, while Eric and Elaine enjoyed wonderful hospitality from the Baldwins, who opened up their home to them for the rest of their stay in Wisconsin. Back in England, Eric was appointed a lecturer in Biochemistry at University College, London, where he earned a university-wide reputation as an excellent teacher. With ER Huehns, he also built an innovative research program in haemoglobin genetics. In 1961, Eric spent a sabbatical year at Stanford University with Buzz Baldwin, who had now joined Arthur Kornberg’s new and outstanding Department of Biochemistry in the Medical School. Two years later, Eric moved permanently to Stanford to join Joshua Lederberg’s new, and equally distinguished, Department of Genetics to initiate a program in Neurobiology. In 1967, with Silvio Varon and Junichi Numura, Eric was successful in isolating the nerve growth factor protein, thereby opening up a whole new field of research into growth factors in general. In 1975, Eric was appointed to be the first Chair of Neurobiology at Stanford. With Ueli Sutter and Jim Lupski, his research expanded with the discovery of the gene, PMP22, which is responsible for the major disease of the peripheral nervous system, peripheral neuropathy. Eric is a Fellow of the Royal Society and a member of the National Academies of Sciences and Medicine in the U.S. Regeneron was started in 1988 by Len Schleifer, a Cornell neurologist, and was based on some of Eric’s discoveries. The following year, a young scientist called George Yancopoulos joined them, and in 1995, Roy Vagelos, the ex-CEO of Merck, became Chairman of the Board. Under these three brilliant individuals, Regeneron has developed new technologies and therapies for a variety of diseases, such as macular degeneration and high LDL cholesterol, which have worldwide applications. ‘During my entire academic career,’ says Eric, ‘I never forgot the excellent supervisions I received at Caius.’ We are truly blessed to count Eric and Elaine among our most generous benefactors.

ne new name on the Benefactors’ Wall will be familiar to many Caians: Martin Wade (1962) has been the President of Caius Boat Club for many years and was also a founder member of the College’s Development Campaign Board. Martin is a modest, approachable man, a gentle giant, who has supported the College in many different ways. When he was a child, his parents, both from poor London families, moved to Harrow. Martin was keen on natural history and had ‘a bedroom crowded with frogs and plants.’ A state scholarship took him to Latymer Upper School and then to Caius to read Natural Sciences. In the early 1960s, ‘a self-appointed dining club, the Gonville Gargoyles, represented the interests of the students to the Fellows’. Martin lobbied for a more democratic arrangement, so there was an election for the first President of the Caius JCR. Martin says he ‘didn’t particularly want the job, but got it’ and managed to fit it in between his CBC commitments (on strokeside, ‘in the engine-room’ at number 4 or 6) and his academic studies. In 1965, he joined the Patents and Licensing Division of Royal Dutch Shell and took part in the company’s excellent management training scheme. After three years, he became an investment analyst with Robert Fleming, a merchant bank, specialising in asset management, covering the oil and chemical sectors. Postings to the Far East and New York City followed and he came into contact with a well-established American asset manager, T. Rowe Price, who later set up a joint venture with Flemings that became ‘a fantastically successful company’. Martin had shares in Flemings, a seat on the main board and maturing options in T. Rowe Price. He felt he was ‘a reasonably well-paid young man’. ‘One day, on a long flight to Baltimore, I realised my net worth was well North of a million pounds! Apart from celebrating with a glass or two of champagne, I reflected on how I’d got there and came to the conclusion that my place at Caius was hugely important. Latymer had also been important, but Caius was the heart of it. Could I have done all this without my Cambridge degree?’ The financial success continued: his options vested in the late ‘80s became extremely valuable, especially when JP Morgan bought Flemings in 2000. T. Rowe Price bought the Fleming’s half of the joint venture and gave Martin a seat on their main board. Martin’s friend, David Bell (1962) was thinking of offering to fund a bursary at Caius to help students who were trying to excel in sport as well as their academic studies and invited Martin to join him. The result was the Bell-Wade Bursary, set up in the late 1990s and still prized and competed for by the top Caius sportsmen and women. In the early years of the 21st century, CBC was achieving unprecedented success under the Senior Treasurership of the Revd Canon Professor Jack McDonald (1995) and Martin agreed not only to become President, but to give the Club ‘a badly-needed racing eight, a black Vespoli.’ Jack wanted to name it after Martin, but Martin asked for it to be the ‘Vicky Wade’ in recognition of ‘the huge contribution my wife made to my business career.’ Martin and Vicky enjoyed many happy days, watching the ‘Vicky Wade’ carry first M1 and then W1 to successes in the Bumps. The boat was later sold to King’s and then Darwin, but still has a special place in Martin’s heart: ‘in the Mays this year, I watched a Darwin crew make a bump in her and gave a quiet little cheer!’ Recently, Martin has been working harder than ever for CBC on the successful fundraising drive for a new Boathouse, urging former Caius boaties to give as much as they can afford and leading, as always, by generous example.

T
hirteen Caians have won Nobel Prizes; only one has won an Oscar – and he has achieved that distinction twice. Leslie Bricusse (1951) has received two Academy Awards and another eight nominations. He won the Oscar for Best Song in 1967 for Talk to the Animals from Dr Dolittle and the Oscar for Best Adaptation and Original Song Score in 1983 for Victor/Victoria, with his great friend, Henry Mancini. Leslie has created over forty successful musical comedies for Hollywood and Broadway and over 1,000 songs in an astonishingly creative career that has already lasted over sixty years and shows no sign of slowing down. At the time of writing, he is working on two musicals, Pure Imagination to open in London in September, and Jekyll & Hyde for Australia in December. He is also composing the music for an animated feature film, The Great Music Chase. Leslie is unusual in working as both songwriter and composer, working in either or both capacities with many of the great names of late twentieth century popular music – Sammy Davis Junior, Frank Sinatra, Nina Simone, Barbara Streisand, Nat King Cole, Judy Garland, Julie Andrews, Ray Charles, Matt Monro, Harry Secombe, Shirley
Bassey, Robbie Williams, Diana Krall and many more. Perhaps his most fruitful and famous partnership was with Anthony Newley: as ‘Brickman and Newburg’, they created the musicals Stop the World – I Want to Get Off, The Roar of the Greasepaint – The Smell of the Crowd and Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, based on the children’s book by Roald Dahl. More fundamental than any of this, Leslie’s work is firmly lodged in our memories: a few words from his lyrics instantly conjure up tunes so familiar, they seem embedded in our DNA: many from his long collaboration with Newley – What Kind of Fool Am I? – Gonna Build a Mountain – Once in a Lifetime – A Wonderful Day Like Today – Who Can I Turn To? – Nothing Can Stop Me Now – The Candy Man – Feeling Good – My Kind of Girl – as well as the James Bond themes for Goldfinger and You Only Live Twice and songs in other mainstream movies like Superman, Home Alone, Hook, The Last Emperor and Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. ‘Caius was the beginning!’ says Leslie, ‘and the reason it all happened.’ He completed his National Service before he came up: ‘I decided to get the misery out of the way first and have the ecstasy later. I knew exactly what I wanted to do, so I joined

...Always a Caian 11 the Footlights on my first day in Cambridge. I was wearing my Footlights tie by teatime! And it took over my life. I was Secretary in my second year and President in the third. But I realised the sort of songs I wanted to write were not Footlights songs, so I started a Musical Comedy Club, with a few friends.’ Youth is traditionally a time for risktaking, but at 4.30am on a freezing January night in 1953, Leslie found himself in a more dangerous situation than he ever intended, perched on a slippery, nine-inch window ledge on the Tower of the Waterhouse Building, three storeys above the ‘uninviting concrete of King’s Parade.’ It came about when he returned late from a Footlights performance at a dinnerdance. College rules being what they were in those days, he had to complete the traditional ritual of ‘climbing in’. Not a problem: as everyone knew, there was ‘a firstfloor window tucked away on Trinity Lane, safe from all but the most prying proctorial eyes.’ Leslie was disappointed to find this window firmly locked, as the occupant was away on a weekend exeat. Nothing for it but to try the other, more challenging, late-night access, another student’s room high in the Tower over the Great Gate. Several circumstances made this route more perilous than usual: The drainpipe Leslie had to climb up was frozen, he had no gloves, he was wearing a heavy duffle coat
and his climbing prowess was handicapped by the extra weight of two magnums of champagne, one in each coat-pocket, ‘a gift from the grateful gathering we had entertained earlier in the evening’. Having reached the first floor window ledge, he decided to climb back down again, but realised he couldn’t. Halfway up to the second floor, acrophobia set in as he realised he had passed the point of no return. He briefly considered leaving the champagne there to save his life, but ‘bloody-mindedness set in to an equal degree.’ He compares his feelings of elation on reaching the third floor window ledge to those of Hillary and Tensing, a few months later, when they finally conquered Everest, but his joy was doomed to be dashed. He raised his hand to open the window and found it, too, was locked. The following four hours were a time of contemplation and wonder – wondering how anyone would explain to his mother and others ‘what my frozen-stiff corpse was doing when found up here. Or worse, down there?’ All these morbid speculations came to an end at 8.15am, when Mrs Ada Johnson, the bedder, came into the room with some laundry for her ‘gentleman’. Ada screamed – but opened the window to let Leslie scramble in to safety: ‘I shiveringly stammered my frosted-breath thanks. She apologised profusely for something that
wasn’t in any way her fault… and Ada went home that Sunday morning with a magnum of Moët et Chandon champagne, already well chilled, like myself.’ Leslie tells this story and many others with great panache in his autobiography, Pure Imagination, published to coincide with the world premiere in London in September 2015 of his latest musical show (also titled Pure Imagination). The show is a celebration of his astonishing career and features many of his best-known songs with ‘as little dialogue as possible’. Leslie is a great believer in ‘letting the songs drive the plot forward’. The show’s title comes from one of his catchiest lines: ‘Come with me and you’ll be in a world of pure imagination.’ Leslie has clearly spent most of his creative life in a wonderful place: his eyes shine, his smile lights up the room, even more so when his wife Evie, his muse, comes into the room. They have been together for well over half a century and he describes her as ‘the words and music of my life’. At the heart of Leslie’s greatest songs is a glorious, unashamed, unquestioning, irrepressible, lifeaffirming optimism – and his music has helped to make the world a happier place. We are rightly proud of our Nobel Prizewinners and the ways in which they have changed the world for the better – but few Caians have given people as much pleasure as Leslie Bricusse.

nterviewing Lt. Gen. Sir Peter Beale (1952) and Simon Russell Beale (1979) was a rare treat, not only for the evident closeness and warmth of affection between father and son, but also for the way they couldn’t help completing, embellishing and correcting each other’s stories. Peter and Simon share a lot more than their family history. Music and performance are golden threads that run through both of their lives. Both were boy choristers at St Paul’s Cathedral, both Head Boys, both won music scholarships to public schools (Felsted and Clifton College) and both came up to Caius as Choral Scholars to sing under the direction of deeply eccentric Precentors, Paddy Hadley (1938) and Peter Tranchell (1960). After Caius, Simon started a postgraduate course at the Guildhall as a singer, although, as he says, he was “already a Shakespeare obsessive”. When he called his father to tell him he really wanted to be an actor – and here Peter takes over the story: ‘I said “Thank God for that!” We always knew. We were just waiting for Simon to realise!’ Peter was born and brought up in Romford, Essex, the son of a clerk in a leather factory, ‘nothing pretentious’. When his father went off to India, his mother ‘worked slavishly’ to look after him. His Aunt Dorothy gave him piano lessons and it was she and his primary school teacher who suggested he should audition as a Chorister at St Paul’s. He remembers the audition being surprisingly easy: Sir John Dykes Bower, Organist and Master of the Choristers for 32 years, asked him the number of half-crowns in a pound: ‘I said “Eight” and I was in!” St Paul’s in wartime was a dangerous place: the High Altar was hit by a bomb and at night people with brooms were stationed on the Dome, to sweep off any incendiary bombs that landed. The Choir was evacuated to Truro Cathedral, but returned in time to sing at the services for V-J Day and later the Silver Wedding of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. Simon’s time at St Paul’s came after Winston Churchill’s funeral and before Princess Diana’s wedding – but he remembers a sermon being given by Martin Luther King’s widow. At Caius, Peter recalls Paddy Hadley’s unique way of registering his ire, if new choristers disappointed him: he took a wooden stick with a nail in it and battered his own (false) leg! Both Peter and Simon made many lifelong friends at Caius: Peter’s included the Organ Scholar, John Sanders (1952), later a successful composer and
Organist at Gloucester Cathedral, who was Best Man at Peter’s first wedding and organist at his second. Peter was originally accepted by King’s, but came to Caius because he wanted to do Medicine, which was considered too great a workload for a King’s Chorister. Even so, he managed to play a lot of hockey and squash and still sang five services a week. It was music that led to his meeting Simon’s mother – a pantomime performance of ‘Wind in the Pillows’ at Westminster Hospital which starred another Caian medic, Simon Rees (1951) as Toad. Peter played Ratty to Julia Winter’s Chinchilla, they sang a duet and stayed together until her death in 2000.
friend of Julia’s, and they married in 2001. She has been a great supporter of his family and his many interests. Peter has continued to indulge his passion for singing, with the Avebury Vocal Ensemble (AVE), which he also conducts, and as a deputy lay clerk at Salisbury Cathedral. And, of course, he has had the immense joy of following Simon’s ascension in the theatre, to the point where he is generally regarded as ‘the finest actor of his generation’. As a boy chorister at St Paul’s, Simon lacked confidence, ‘but the Headmaster liked me and encouraged me to read aloud.’ For his fortnightly, two-hour exeat, Grandma

Simon later found a review of that historic production, written by Donald Wolfit! In 1960, a year after qualifying as a doctor, Peter took a National Service commission in the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC). His first posting was to the Far East. Simon was born in Penang, Malaysia, his twin brothers arrived in Hong Kong and by the time Peter and Julia flew back to London, they were a family of five, with three boys under the age of two, so he signed on! Peter enjoyed his military career enormously and stayed with the RAMC as a consultant physician for sixteen years before ‘moving into admin’, culminating in his appointments as Honorary Physician to HM the Queen in 1987, KBE in 1992, Director General of Army Medical Services and Surgeon-General of British Armed Forces until he retired, with the rank of LieutenantGeneral, in 1994. Life since then has been no less busy, including appointments as Chief Medical Officer to the British Red Cross and President of the Old Felstedians, Tidworth Garrison Golf Club and the Army Officers Golf Society. He explains: ‘I always tended to collect presidencies because anything less meant working!’ Importantly, he met Mary, a
Beale came from Romford to take him to the Golden Egg café, but he didn’t really enjoy the outings, because he always worried about getting back to school in time. To this day, he still has an irrational fear of being late. Overall, however, St Paul’s was ‘a fabulous training, that had a huge effect on my professional life.’ He completed Grade 8 in both piano and oboe and has loved playing the piano ever since, still playing every day and taking lessons. His first stage performance was as Hippolyta in A Midsummer Night’s Dream at primary school. (Wikipedia has it incorrectly as Desdemona in Othello at Clifton College.) A major influence in his life was Brian Worthington, the Head of English at Clifton, ‘a dynamic, puritanical, severe teacher, who refused to let English become an easy option.’ Worthington ‘despised professional theatre’ but still suggested Simon should become an actor. One memorable occasion, when Simon enrolled for Chemistry ‘A’ level, Worthington waited outside the door after the first lesson to insist: ‘You’re not doing Chemistry, you’re doing English!” Worthington later came to Caius on a Schoolmaster Fellowship. He was not only a Leavisite but a personal friend of FR and QD Leavis themselves. Queenie attended

Simon’s first performance of King Lear at Clifton. He chose Caius not simply to follow in his father’s footsteps, but because he knew Jeremy Prynne (1962) and Dr John Casey (1964) would be his Directors of Studies and supervisors. John, he regarded as ‘a very remote and senior aesthetician, occupying a rarefied area of the literary world, a friend of Harold Pinter and Antonia Fraser, who conducted terrifying tutorials. Later, when I got to know him, I realised he was a completely different person!’ Of doing Practical Criticism classes with Jeremy, widely regarded as one of the best living poets in the country, Simon says ‘It was an incredible privilege. I had a great experience at Caius and I was delighted when they made me an Honorary Fellow – it’s a huge honour.’ When he first came up in 1979, the first year that women were admitted, Chariots of Fire was being filmed in Cambridge with Lindsay Anderson as the Master of Caius and John Gielgud as the Master of Trinity. Simon’s first view of Trinity Street was as a film set, with cables running the length of it. Many of his friends came through music – classical conductors, Graeme Jenkins (1978) and Grant Llewellyn (1980) and Piccadilly Dance Orchestra conductor Michael Law (1979), and he became great friends with Tilda Swinton, who was at New Hall. Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie and Emma Thompson were all active in the Footlights at the time, but Simon was more interested in serious theatre. He enjoyed acting successes in The Alchemist for the Marlowe Society and Richard III for the ADC, but also felt the need to work quite hard (at least every morning from 10 till 1) and with afternoon rehearsals for Evensong and the Cambridge Chamber Choir, there wasn’t a lot of spare time. Even after “scraping a First” he still wavered between music and drama. Peter was relieved when he made his mind up and says: ‘I’m proud of him for concentrating on straight theatre and radio, rather than film and tv. He was very selective – he didn’t take a part just for the money!’ – at which Simon raises his eyebrows quizzically, but admits: ‘I never wanted publicity and I’ve loved being part of a company, with eight happy years at the RSC and now another fifteen years, on and off, at the National Theatre.’ Above all, he has found his acting work ‘intellectually exciting – one of the bonuses is that I know twenty Shakespeare plays really, really well.” As Cameron Mackintosh Professor of Contemporary Drama at Oxford this year, he has enjoyed running workshops and is looking forward to lecturing on Lear next term. “Basically, Simon is an academic!” interjects Peter. Father and son agree on that, but Simon has the last words: “Acting is three-dimensional lit. crit.”

A High Achiever by Mick Le Moignan (2004)
S
ir Douglas Myers (1958), like his beloved All Blacks Rugby team, usually succeeds in whatever he attempts. A natural goal scorer, he uses his advantages wisely and then “locks in the gains”. He is a man of great vision and outstanding generosity. The first Caian in modern times to give £1 million to the College, this year he also became the first to raise his total gifts during his lifetime to £2,500,000. He is the first member of the Edmund Gonville Guild to have his portrait hung on the grand stairway to the College Library, next to that of his one-time tutor and lifetime friend, Neil McKendrick (1958), who retired as Master in 2005. Interviewed by Michael Bassett for the family history, The Myers, Neil summed up Douglas with typical acuity: ‘he was never starry academically, because he was doing other things – swimming and sport. That was entirely respectable at the time… He knew academia wasn’t his bag. I’ve watched so many impressive scholars, double Firsts, who have gone nowhere after college. I’ve learnt over time that ambition is more important than ability; stamina is more important than raw intelligence; and charm is more important than anything. It was obvious that Douglas had charm, but over his career he’s also shown that he had ambition and stamina.’ Douglas calls that: ‘the best advice I’ve ever been given!’ He agrees that he’s not an academic, but has great admiration for them – for the former Master in particular: ‘Neil has a big heart and a big spirit, that’s why I like him. He has the ability to motivate people.
I took him to an All Blacks game once. He sat with some builders from the Midlands and had them totally captivated. He’s a wellrounded guy, he knows what life’s about. If all the Myers Scholars ended up like Neil, I’d be very happy.’ Every year since 2001, Douglas has paid for one outstanding student from New Zealand to come to Caius. The rule has always been “no lawyers and no medics” because Douglas felt there were enough of them already, but he says: ‘they do cheat a bit: one did biology and went on to do breast cancer research, but I don’t mind that.’ When the Myers Scholarship scheme started, some at Caius were doubtful about guaranteeing places. ‘In the early days, they were afraid we’d promote people we liked who were useless!’ laughs Douglas. In fact, competition for the sole spot is fierce and the winner is invariably one of the top students in New Zealand. Academic prowess is not the only consideration. Douglas and the selection panel are looking for candidates with a measure of worldliness: ‘We choose them on the basis of scholarship and character. We want people who are going to make an impact.’ Having had their lives transformed by the accolade, the Scholars tend to keep in touch with the man who made it possible: ‘It’s like having fifteen extra children!’ says Douglas, with some pride and delight. The Myers Scholars, like their benefactor, are high achievers: eight of the twelve to graduate so far have achieved Firsts (two of them starred) and many have enjoyed sporting success as well. Sonia Bracegirdle
(2004) was the only student ever to come top in both Part II and Part III of the Chemistry Tripos, rowed for Cambridge and captained the Oxford boat as a postgraduate. She is now a business consultant with McKinsey. Alex Ross (2008) is a highly regarded research student in Economics and won a Blue for Rowing and two Half-Blues for Water Polo. Douglas, himself a Swimming Blue, is slightly disappointed that none of the Myers Scholars has yet moved back to New Zealand, but philosophical about it: ‘They’ve had access to the world’s best education: at least, they’ll be in positions of influence around the world; at best, some of them will eventually go back. New Zealand’s biggest problem is isolation: it’s good for the country to have friends around the world.’ Douglas is part of a family tradition at Caius: his aunt’s father, Charles Myers (1891) pioneered Psychology at Cambridge and developed treatments for Shell Shock in the Great War (Once a Caian… Issue 14) and his own father, Sir Kenneth Myers (1925) came up before a business career in New Zealand. Douglas attended a British-style public school where they sang God Save the Queen. The Cambridge-educated Headmaster cleverly introduced him to a famous All Black who had also come to Cambridge, ten years earlier, who completely sold him on the idea. Douglas found it ‘upsetting to leave New Zealand and hard to settle back in again afterwards.’ He travelled extensively in Europe and America, unconsciously laying the foundations of the international awareness that became his greatest strength when he eventually went home. He had a love-hate

relationship with his own country, depressed by its small-minded insularity while exulting in the freedom it gave him, especially at his farm at Matauri Bay, still his favourite place, where the living is easy and the fishing and diving are great. He has always admired traditional British values, like democracy, the rule of law and private property, and took Britain’s infatuation with the Common Market quite personally. Now, he says, ‘I’m very glad they did dump us!’ because it helped New Zealand to find its own identity. His great-grandfather and great-great uncle “came out with the gold rush, until they realised there was more money in beer” and the family business they started in hotels and wines and spirits was still going, if a little moribund, when he went home. ‘In 1965, it was as if time had stood still! I realised we had to get out or get bigger, so I sold the pubs and took control of the brewery.’ A series of audacious share transfers and takeovers eventually allowed Douglas to carry out an unprecedented expansion into Australia and China, to acquire Alan Bond’s breweries and then sell the whole, merged Lion Nathan business to Kirin and walk away with almost half a billion dollars. His vision and support contributed to New Zealand’s victories in the first Rugby World Cup in 1987 and two victories in the Americas Cup. He worked hard, eventually as Chairman of the NZ Business Roundtable, to strengthen the nation’s economy, even cooperating with an unusually far-sighted Labour Government in the late 80s, not perhaps his natural allies. Douglas has enjoyed the fruits and freedom of his fortune and has quietly done his best to make the world a better place, notably through education. Curiously, his main motivation was not to amass a huge amount of money, but to succeed in a highly competitive environment – and prove that both he and New Zealand could compete with any on the world stage. These days, he has some serious health challenges, which he faces with characteristic fortitude, as well as interests in a global music publishing company and a pharmaceutical drug testing business, where he is confident he will make a second fortune. He is passionately interested in what the young will make of the world, not just his own children, Jessica, Laura and Campbell Myers (2002), but generations to come. He has never been a teacher but he has clearly acquired a formidable store of practical wisdom that he would love to pass on. There is, he believes, no substitute for learning: ‘If you’ve got a good education, you can take advantage of the opportunities that come your way.’ Douglas is proud of his association with Caius – and the College can be very proud of him.

ohn Aubrey is best known for his Brief Lives, which paint a vivid personal panorama of seventeenth century England. In her new book, John Aubrey – My Own Life, which has received rapturous reviews, Dr Ruth Scurr (2006) does for Aubrey what he did for so many of his contemporaries: she reveals him to us, warts and all – and she does it all using as many of his own words as possible. The radical choice Ruth made at the outset was to recast Aubrey’s hasty notes on any number of different subjects in the form of a diary – endowing them with both a logical and a chronological structure, while retaining and enhancing Aubrey’s own distinctive voice and personality.
Vita B
For the cover of her book, Ruth Scurr chose and described Aubrey’s ‘only known self-portrait: a sketch of himself and Sir James Long out hawking. Typically, it is clear which figure is Sir James, at the centre of the picture, with a telescope and the sword Oliver Cromwell permitted him to wear. But which figure is Aubrey? My bet is that he drew himself the least defined of all the figures: the one lightly shaded in brown beside Sir James, through whom the outlines of some trees are visible; the one who has dismounted from his horse and is looking intently at a building in the valley beyond.’
‘I wanted to build a scaffold of support,’ she explains, ‘to enable a reader to experience his life as a continuous narrative. I’ve done something to revive him, to get him right back where he belongs, with Pepys and Evelyn, as a source and commentator on that fascinating century. ‘I knew I wanted to write this book as soon as I finished my book on Robespierre. I went from working on a period of Revolution to one of Restoration – and from one century to another. I felt a strong personal attraction to Aubrey because he valued the past and wanted to save it from destruction. And I’m enormously grateful to Caius for providing an environment that allows me to research and write in this way, to range freely and creatively and do something so daring.’ Ruth’s technique, she says, is like restoring an old painting: ‘Some fragments could be transposed quite directly, while other passages are a composite of fragments.’ She resisted the temptation to add judgements or comments of her own: ‘I wanted to restore his words so they can be enjoyed in this form without me intruding.’ The result is an extraordinary amalgam of scholarship and creativity – a book that is easy to read and hard to put down. It does not eulogise Aubrey, but lays bare his many weaknesses as well as his strengths – and is all the more engaging for that. For fellow-academics, 39 pages of Endnotes give the various sources of each fragment in Aubrey’s original manuscripts, but the joy of the book is to read it as Ruth intended, without interruption. Aubrey was insatiably curious about every aspect of the world around him. He was fascinated by his fellow man, but also by the ancient monuments of his native Wiltshire,

He scribbled copious notes on all of these subjects and such was his zest for knowledge that he rarely completed one task before embarking enthusiastically on the next. A one-man Wikipedia, he tried desperately to preserve every detail of his own time and times past for the benefit of posterity. He published little in his own lifetime, instead leaving reams of chaotic manuscripts to Oxford’s Bodleian Library and Ashmolean Museum, in the hope that ‘hereafter it may be an Incitement to some Ingenious and publickspirited young Man, to polish and compleat what I have delivered rough-hewn.’ Many have tried to fulfill that request,
Brevis
with varying levels of success. Ruth Scurr feels the eighteenth and nineteenth century versions characterised Aubrey unfairly as a bawdy gossip-monger: ‘and that has damaged the truth – that he was seriously committed to facilitating the exchange of ideas.’ An early and enthusiastic member of the Royal Society, he was ‘not a scientist like Hooke or Boyle, but helped to share their ideas. I hugely admired Anthony Powell’s biography, but it was called John Aubrey and his Friends.’ Oliver Lawson Dick’s 1949 edition of Brief Lives inspired a phenomenally successful theatrical one-man-show, featuring Roy Dotrice. Many of Aubrey’s admirers felt this parodied him and undervalued his achievement, but it did bring him to a new audience. He is certainly more widely appreciated now than he ever was in his own century. Ruth points out that the words ‘according to Aubrey’ are frequently used by historians, when trying to cast fresh light on the lives of familiar figures like Milton, Hobbes, Raleigh, Harvey, Descartes and Erasmus. Her magnificent reinvention of him as a diarist, shortly to be published in the USA by the New York Review of Books, will bring this flawed but fascinating polymath to a whole new set of admirers, almost four centuries after his own time. Appropriately, the last words must go to Aubrey himself, who once compared his habit of trying to preserve biographical information for the future as salvaging debris from the shipwreck of time: ‘The retrieving of those forgotten things from Oblivion in some sort resembles the Art of a Conjuror, who makes those walke and appeare that have layen in their graves many hundreds of yeares.’
Aubrey was proud of having commissioned (while still a student at Oxford in 1643) drawings of Osney Abbey, which had fallen into serious disrepair after the dissolution of the monasteries, a century earlier. Within months of the drawings being completed, Royalist forces making gunpowder in the Abbey caused an explosion and Aubrey’s worst fears were fulfilled. The collapsing Abbey reinforced his fervent wish to preserve the heritage of the past. This engraving was prepared by Wenceslaus Hollar for Dugdale’s Monasticum Anglicanum, vol 2, published 1661 (from the private collection of Olivia Horsfall Turner, daughter of the late Jonathan Horsfall Turner (1964), reproduced by Warwick Leadlay Gallery).

At the May Week Party for Benefactors, the Master presented the team with a Jeroboam of champagne, sent by a Caian benefactor to celebrate their success.
The Format The producers of University Challenge send application forms to all universities and all Oxbridge and London University colleges. They pick their own teams, who go for an interview, a general knowledge test and a buzzer race. In 2015, 130 teams applied and 28 were chosen to take part in the competition. In the Final, the Caius team of Anthony Martinelli (2008), the captain, studying Medicine, Ted Loveday (2012) reading Law, Michael Taylor, (2007) completing a PhD in History, and Jeremy Warner (2010) a Natural Scientist, defeated fourtime winners, Magdalen College, Oxford, by 255 points to 105. How Did They Do It? Shouting answers at the telly and swotting up on the Pre-Raphaelites: Ted Loveday and Michael Taylor reveal how they prepared for the contest and explain why potential Caius applicants shouldn’t be daunted by their stellar performance.

Lucy: University Challenge as a programme and Jeremy Paxman as a presenter seem pretty intimidating, even as a viewer: what’s it like from your side? Ted: Incredible. You can’t beat the first time you buzz and you hear Roger Tilling announcing your own name and university. I think Paxman does his best to put people at their ease when the cameras aren’t rolling – he knows you’re just students and doesn’t expect you to be as tough as the politicians he interviews. But he can be needlessly harsh in his put-downs to losing teams.
Michael: The pressure is incredible – I promise you, University Challenge is much, much easier from the sofa. But Mr Paxman was nothing but civil to us, all the way through. There’s an obvious difference in the way he treats students who are trying very, very hard to answer questions, and the way he treats politicians who are trying very, very hard not to answer questions.
Lucy: How do you prepare – and how do you cope with the quick-fire pressure of the competition? Michael: We looked at what subjects come up regularly on the show, then set about learning as much as we could from Wikipedia and textbooks. We divided the subjects among us according to what we already knew: so I took modern history and literature, Anthony took biology, and so on. In terms of answering questions, a lot of our answers are educated guesses. For instance, I had no idea that Paul Gauguin really liked a certain sculpture he made in 1894, but as it had a Tahitian name, it was probably him. We’ll rarely recognize everything in the question – we’re just looking for clues and prompts.
Ted: We’d put aside regular times to sit down together in the College Bar, watch past episodes on YouTube and try to shout the answers at the telly before any of the contestants buzzed. That was really helpful for improving our reaction speeds. Sometimes question-setters really like a particular area and they’ll keep coming back to it. For instance, they’re a bit obsessed with PreRaphaelite paintings, so we binged on some Wikipedia articles to make sure we were familiar with them. It paid off because we had a whole picture round on the PreRaphaelites! University Challenge isn’t about deep understanding – it’s about very wide, superficial knowledge combined with quick recall.
Lucy: How did you come together as a team and what is it about the combination that works?
Michael: We picked the team on merit, nothing else. I think we work well together because we cover almost all the bases and we trust each other to get the answers in our own fields. I’m never going to buzz in on science or medicine – I switch off completely and I trust my teammates to get those questions right – I’m responsible for answering the questions on British history. That’s the essence of teamwork: relying on your mates to do their jobs.
Ted: Teamwork was definitely our strength. If you look at teams that have done well in the past, they’re usually dominated by one superstar who gets all the answers. But Caius is different because we’re really very much four team-mates who are equal and all of us have our chance to get some starters. Everybody was really supportive of each other, and everybody played to each other’s strengths. We did a lot of practice together, which helped build a good dynamic between us.
Lucy: Your performances are exceptionally impressive – do you think there’s a risk you could make your college and university seem rather daunting to young people considering where to apply? Michael: No, it shouldn’t be off-putting. We don’t just “know” this stuff – we learned it and we learned most of it while at Caius. With the exception of the questions on sport and cinema, and a few things I learned at school, I’d have known almost none of this at the age of 17 or 18. Please don’t get the impression that Caius students spend their time obsessing about Russian literature, or baroque music, or Nobel prize-winners. In fact, for me, the most exciting thing about filming was probably seeing Alan Hansen in the studio building as he prepared for Match of the Day!
Ted: I’d emphasise that you don’t need to know any of this stuff to get into Cambridge! Most students here are pretty down-to-earth and have an average level of general knowledge. If you’re bright and passionate about the particular subject you want to study, that’s all you need and you should go ahead and apply – you don’t have anything to lose. Like pretty much everybody, when I first started watching University Challenge I’d be thrilled if I got one answer right in a whole episode. I know some of the questions on the show can seem fairly intimidating and highbrow. But there’s no magic secret to it – all the answers will be out there on Wikipedia somewhere. If you find a question daunting, look it up online and read about the answer. Next time it comes up, it won’t be daunting any more.
Five Starters for Ted In the Final, Ted Loveday answered eleven starters for ten points correctly and, what’s more (for some), his sweaters were ‘trending on Twitter’! Here are five of those questions, up to the point where Ted interrupted them. Remember that, on University Challenge, your answer is required a split second after hearing the last word of the question. 1. ‘This “long run” is a misleading guide to current affairs. In the long run, we’re all dead!’ These are the words of which economist in the nine… 2. ‘They illustrate the temper of a pre-revolutionary age: when there is widespread desire for moderate reform.’ These words of Bertrand Russell refer to which two figures of the Northern Renaissance born, respectively, in London and Rotterdam? 3. ‘The first known instance of algorhithmic thinking to a field outside logic and mathematics.’ These words refer to a grammar of what language by the Ghandarean scholar _ Panini… 4. Inspired by the artworks of Viktor Hartmann, The Gnome, The Hut of… 5. Meaning ‘said only once’, what Greek term denotes a word… (Answers on page 34.)

urgh Island lies in the estuary of one of the smaller River Avons, off the south coast of Devon. Strictly speaking, it is only an island half of the time. At low tide, it is a 250-metre stroll across the sand from the village of Bigbury-on-Sea, but twice a day, the rising tide isolates it again and visitors find themselves in a bygone age. The main building on the island is a magnificently furnished Art Deco hotel, completed in 1932. The sparkling white edifice was designed to resemble a great ocean liner, perched on the rocks. For the past fourteen years, it has been owned and run by Deborah Clark (1980) and her husband, Tony Orchard. The couple had their wedding at this magical place in April 2001 and agreed to buy the whole island just a month later. Burgh Island exerts a powerful spell. It seems to be a microcosm of the world at large, where the unexpected happens all the time. It certainly felt that way to Agatha Christie, who set two of her finest crime thrillers there, Evil Under the Sun and And Then There Were None (first published under a no longer acceptable title). Dr Anne Lyon (2001) remembers visiting elderly relatives living directly opposite Burgh Island as a little girl and being fascinated by the mysterious island, shimmering just across the sand or

shallow water. She was delighted to accept Deborah’s kind invitation to revisit this iconic scene of her childhood. When the small party from Cambridge arrived, we felt as if we had stepped on to a film set. Every room, every decoration, every artefact and every ornament in the hotel is precisely, perfectly in the style of the period – and there were also about a dozen people, taking tea or lounging elegantly on the terrace, immaculately dressed in period costumes from the 1930s. They explained that they belonged to a re-enactment society; they said they were not re-enacting anything in particular that day, but simply on holiday – evidently with a vast number of outfits, since they changed for cocktails, for dinner and dancing (black tie, of course) again for after-dinner drinks, for breakfast, to bathe in the Mermaid Pool in Edwardian swimsuits and to take morning coffee. The hotel staff, equally smartly attired, barely raised an eyebrow. Burgh Island has seen it all before. The original hotel was commissioned in 1929 by the theatrical entrepreneur, Archibald Nettlefold, one of the heirs to the Guest Keen & Nettlefolds factories. He used it first as a private retreat for the glitterati of the day, including the future King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson, Noel Coward, Gertie Lawrence, Amy Johnson, Nancy Cunard, WO Bentley and many others, and later as an exclusive hotel. Even after fourteen years, Deborah Clark is still delighted and excited to find herself running such an extraordinary establishment. She had previously lived almost exclusively in cities (London, Paris
and Cambridge) and worked in aviation law and finance, so had seen hotels only with a customer’s eye. She came up to Caius to read Law with the second intake of women undergraduates. As the only female Law undergraduate and coming from an all-girls’ school (Camden), it was a shock. She would have changed to English, but Jeremy Prynne (1962) tactfully told her that Law was the better option: ‘In retrospect, thank goodness for his advice. My Law degree is the foundation of everything I’ve done since!’ she reflects. Her husband, Tony, a chartered surveyor, was thus more commercially prepared, but points out: ‘It’s not a country house hotel: it’s an urban outpost, constructed for a London market, high society.’ They took over the hotel just after the 9 /11 terrorist attacks in New York, when the tourist market was not exactly buoyant, and learned and grew as they went along. Deborah says: ‘I’ve always referenced the business by what I’d like myself, as a consumer, as that’s the side of the business I knew from the beginning.’ Burgh has a long summer season, which is extended by putting on Murder Mystery Weekends in February and November and by grand seasonal balls. The hotel is thriving because the quality of food and service is first class and the ambience so very distinctive. Deborah would love to welcome more Caian visitors and will ensure the full VIP treatment, if you make yourselves known. Having seen the hotel in full swing, I can vouch for the VIP experience myself. Burgh is not just a place for a special occasion, but somewhere almost every occasion is bound to be special.

tudents today tend to work a lot harder than their predecessors of years ago. Cambridge places are precious and competition is keen. Caius choristers have always had a heavier workload than most and they have to be even more skilful at managing their time. The Choir’s goals and ambitions are not simply excellence in performance, important as that is. Their commitment to furthering academic study and research involves looking at new music, new ways of playing and singing old music and trying to rediscover and recreate lost performance styles of the past. One of the Choir’s favourite duties is to perform at the Annual Gatherings, not only in the Chapel service, but by singing Graces before and after dinner and putting on a postprandial performance culminating in a rousing rendition of the Carmen Caianum by Charles Wood (1889). This year, they delighted the senior Caians attending the June Annual Gathering with two contrasting pieces with the same title. First, baritone Nicholas Doig (2012), the John Chumrow Choral Scholar, sang the standard, Victorian version of Tennyson’s Come into the Garden, Maud, to the tune by MW Balfe: ‘Come into the garden, Maud, For the black bat, night, has flown...’ The Precentor and Director of Music, Dr Geoffrey Webber (1989) said: ‘It’s an extraordinary piece: I had to wait until I had a soloist who could carry it off!’ The pompous, portentous style of the poor suitor, waiting forlornly at the garden gate for his lady-love, greatly amused the modern audience: indeed, it’s hard to imagine that a Victorian audience
took it seriously! But the next piece, ‘an irreverent update’ by the post-war Organ Scholar, Wilfrid Holland (1946), sung by a small ensemble, brought the house down. Here, the suitor begins to lose patience with his absent “Maudie” and swings into a boppy, jazz style – with further musical allusions: ‘The second stanza is hardly concomitant, And to point the fact we’ll sing in the subdominant And introduce chromaticisms to enhance the sentiment.’ The ‘black bat, night, has flown’ becomes ‘the black keys now are flown’, so the song continues on the white notes. When Maudie still fails to show up, the suitor loses it and lets his mask slip: ‘Hurry to the gate, Maud, Make it here by eight, Maud, Come into the garden soon. If you make me wait, So help me, I’ll go back to Kate and the kids for good!’ Wilfrid Holland died in 2005 but is still fondly remembered at Caius, for he left his entire estate to the College, which will continue to support Organ Scholarships and a Music Fund in perpetuity. Thanks are due to Michael Foad (1956), who worked with Wilfrid in Dover and sent his ‘Maud’ arrangement to Geoffrey Webber, suggesting it would be ideal for an Annual Gathering – as indeed it was! In the same week, the Caius Choir sang more serious work on BBC Radio 3, in connection with music from one of the treasures of the Caius Library, a beautiful, illuminated Tudor Choirbook, given to the College exactly 350 years ago, in 1665, by the bibliographer, William Crowe (1632).

generation Caian, he was the son of William Crow (sic) (1594) and grandson of Christopher Crow (1545). The performance was prior to a concert given in the thirteenth-century Chapel of St Mary Undercroft, the lower chamber of what was once St Stephen’s Chapel in the Royal Palace of Westminster. (In the reign of Edward VI, the upper chamber became the first House of Commons and the medieval choir stalls, facing each other across the nave, inspired the adversarial structure of today’s Parliament.) The Caius Choirbook is almost a metre across when open, to allow a group of singers literally to ‘sing from the same hymn-sheet’, with all the different parts written out separately but on the same page. The choirbook was a gift to one of the Canons of St Stephen’s, and the Choir sang music from this as well as extracts from a cycle of Lady Masses by Nicholas Ludford, found in Royal part books now held by the British Library. ‘There has always been a bit of a puzzle about the part book manuscripts, because one of them has more music than the others.’ Geoffrey Webber told Caius Communications Officer, Lucy Ward. ‘We think the passages where the music is incomplete could have been a skeleton where Ludford improvised some organ music. For the first time here we’re trying to recreate that improvisation... We’re very much a part of the academic inquiry going on.’ Geoffrey and the Choir have also experimented with new editions close to the original notation of the manuscripts and with aspects of pitch and temperament to try to create performances that are historically informed. A CD of the Caius Choir singing music from the Caius Choirbook and the Lady Mass part books will be released next year.

34 Once a Caian...
Honours for Caius Fellows While celebrating the success of our sharp-witted students on University Challenge, we should also acknowledge the outstanding level of recognition achieved in the past year by our Fellows, with two more Fellows of the Royal Society (FRS) and no fewer than four new Fellows of the British Academy (FBA). The Master, Professor Sir Alan Fersht (1962) announced the news ‘with unalloyed pleasure and sheer pride’ and commented: ‘It must surely be a record for a college to have four Fellows elected to the British Academy at the same time. It is an immense achievement and personal satisfaction for each of our distinguished scholars to be so honoured. And it establishes the Caius Fellowship in the Arts and Sciences at the pinnacle in Oxbridge and elsewhere.’ The Fellowships of the Royal Society went to Professor Anthony Edwards (1968), the statistician, geneticist and evolutionary biologist (see Issue 13, pp 20-21) and Dr KJ Patel (1989) the molecular biologist (see Issue 12, pp 14-15). KJ, who juggles adroitly his role as Wine Steward with research into how alcohol damages our DNA, said he was proud to be the first of the 20-25 million Patels in the world to be elected to the 355-year-old Society. The sad loss of Professor Sir Sam Edwards (1945) earlier this year brings the current total of FRS in the Fellowship to twelve. Elected to Fellowships of the British Academy were Professor Cyprian Broodbank (2014), the Mediterranean archaeologist, Professor Robert Gordon (1997), the Professor of Modern Italian Culture who has written on Primo Levi and Pier Paolo Pasolini, Professor Jo Whaley (1986), Professor of German History and Thought from 1500 to the present day, and Professor Peter Mandler (2001), the Bailey College Lecturer in History. Peter also achieved the further distinction of being elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. This brings the current total of FBA in the Caius Fellowship to eleven.
Life after Death Richard Lyon
As Caians, we know the benign influence of individuals can continue long after they die. Edmund Gonville (1348) lived only three years after founding the Hall that still bears his name. After nearly five hundred years, we still follow some of the precepts and concepts of John Caius (1529) as we pass through his Gates of Humility, Virtue and Honour. There are many others whose name and fame lives on. Harold Gillies (1901), who developed Plastic Surgery, is commemorated in the new Close of twelve houses recently built by the College. (See the Master’s speech p.5.) Robert Davis (1976) has ensured that the memory and work of his partner, Sir Simon Milton (1980), will be remembered Robert Davis (1976) and Dr Anne Lyon (2001) at the unveiling of the statue of Sir Simon long after his untimely death at the age Milton (1980) in Merchant Square, Paddington in September 2014. of 49 (see Issue 13, pp. 16-17). The Sir Simon Milton Foundation has launched a number of charitable initiatives to benefit young and old. After a stellar career in local government in London, Simon was Deputy Mayor and Chief of Staff to Boris Johnson, who gave the first annual Sir Simon Milton Lecture on the subject ‘Opportunity for All’. London’s Mayor was in typically bullish mood about the rapidly growing prosperity of ‘the greatest city on Earth’, declaring that ‘London is to the billionaire as the jungles of Sumatra are to the orang utan!’ The Sir Simon Milton Westminster University Technical College (opening in 2017) and the transformation of Paddington Basin and Merchant Square are striking tributes to Simon’s vision. A new, life-sized statue of Simon was unveiled there last year. Even more importantly, as far as the College is concerned, the Sir Simon Milton Foundation has decided to fund several annual scholarships to help students from low income backgrounds to come to Caius. Simon will not be forgotten by those students or by the many people whose lives he changed for the better.

...Always a Caian 35
Inspired by Joseph Needham (1918) Professor Tony Hunter (1962), Director of the Salk Institute Cancer Center in La Jolla, California, wrote to the Master to donate half of his 2014 Royal Medal Award to the College, in recognition of the inspiring supervisions he received as an undergraduate and PhD student in Biochemistry from several Caius Fellows, including Brian Chappell (1959) and Malcolm Clark (1943). ‘Undoubtedly, I owe my success in science in large part to my scientific training at Caius and I will always be grateful for having had the opportunity to be a member of the College. ‘I would like this gift to go towards the Joseph Needham Lectureship. He became Master of Caius in 1965 when I was a third year undergraduate and I had the privilege of sitting next to him at a College Feast that year. As we were sampling the fine College wines, he told me how the Chinese use Aspergillus fermentation to make their rice wine. ‘Subsequently, while I was a graduate student, I attended his series of lectures on Science and Civilisation in China in 1966 and I remember being particularly impressed by his recounting all the medical discoveries that had been made in China long before they were rediscovered in the West. One story that has stuck in my mind was his finding that the Chinese had developed methods for crystallising sex hormones from male and female urine for the treatment of human reproductive diseases at least as early as 1025. Unfortunately, his discoveries about the advanced nature of science in China were not published until Volume 6 of Science and Civilisation in China came out in 2000, but his scholarship was an inspiration to me.’ Dan White
An English Country Garden These days, John Haines (1949) and Annie Haines (2009), the 29th and 30th names on the Benefactors’ Wall, do not come back to the College as often as their friends would like, preferring to spend time relaxing in their beautiful garden in Devon. Happily, an hour spent reminiscing with a small group of visitors from Caius, accompanied by Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Dan White, was enough to persuade them to plan an autumn trip to Cambridge in October.
Diana Summers (1992) is continuing her quest to find photographs and stories of the 350 Caians commemorated on the War Memorial in the Chapel. (See Issue 13, pp. 18-19.) She has found photos of all but 31 of those who fell in WW1 and is now turning her attention to WW2. There is, she says, ‘a black hole’ in the Archives from 1908 to 1946, where very few matriculation and sports photographs are held. If you have any copies of such photographs and would be prepared to donate or lend them to the Archive for scanning, Diana or the College Archivist, James Cox, would be delighted to hear from you. Diana is also researching a small group of men who served in WW1 in the Navy, matriculated at Caius in the 1920s when they came for special courses and were killed in WW2. Of this group, she still needs photos of JJ Arkwright, AP Colthurst, BM Douglas, FWG Harker, RR Helbert and PL Puxley. As the centenary of WW1 continues, Diana writes a weekly memorial notice, which she posts outside the Chapel. Lest we forget...
Starry-Eyed Far from resting on his laurels, Professor Stephen Hawking (1965) seems to have been busier than ever since celebrating his halfcentury at Caius. In July, he joined his great friend, Professor Sir Martin Rees, in launching Breakthrough Listen at the Royal Society. This is a $100 million project to detect radio emissions and optical laser transmissions from our own and other galaxies, in a search for other forms of life. Stephen believes ‘It is important for us to know if we are alone in the dark.’ He also congratulated NASA’s New Horizons team on their successful mission to Pluto. To those who argue that there are problems on Earth that deserve our attention before exploring space, Stephen has a characteristically concise answer:
“We explore because we are human and we want to know!”.

Go the Mighty Might Mighty! y!

n the weeks leading up to the May Bumps, there was heady talk of a Double Headship (M1 and W1) to match those achieved by the Caius Boat Club (CBC) in 2000 and 2002 – a feat that has not been matched by any other college before or since. The dream was still alive on the last day of the Bumps. The Master even roused the dampened enthusiasm of guests at the College’s unusually rainy May Week Party for Benefactors, telling them the historic Double Headship was still possible and ending his speech with the traditional CBC exhortation: ‘Go the Mighty!’ Sadly, it was not to be. The Men’s First VIII (M1) rowed over majestically as Head of the River on each of the four days of competition. A fast Pembroke crew, having bumped up from fifth place to second over the first three days, threw everything into a sprint start on the final day and paid the price by tiring and catching a ‘crab’ which lost them all chance of overhauling Caius and nearly cost them second place. Pembroke will be there next year, hungrier
still for revenge, and so will every other college. Rowing in eights is the quintessential team sport, so individuals can rarely be singled out, but Alex Ross (2008) surely deserves special mention for having rowed in all five of CBC’s Headships in the Mays between 2011 and 2015. And three of his colleagues each rowed in four of them! The Women’s First VIII (W1) also rowed over four times, but in second place, closing the gap at times to a tantalising half a boat’s length from the Downing crew ahead of them, never close enough to bump, but comfortably holding their own pursuers at bay. The results, the same as in 2014, first in the Men’s Bumps and second in the Women’s, would have been cause for ecstatic celebrations at any other college. Sadly for the rowers, at Caius this was regarded as little more than par for the course! It is hard for non-boaties to imagine the level of dedication and commitment that is required to compete at this level: the four days of the Bumps
represents eight months of pain, concentration, hard work and sacrifice. Every member of both First VIIIs has every right to feel thoroughly proud of his or her achievement. M1’s supremacy borders on the unbelievable: fourteen Headships in the Mays in the past eighteen years; up to and including 2015, they have managed a continuous run of five victories, almost on a par with the six achieved between 2002 and 2007. Next year’s crew will be under some pressure not to break the sequence! In 2017, when CBC will be operating from its new Boathouse, that pressure will be even greater. All this success is not an accident: the Caius crews are supported by a fantastically dedicated team of coaches and supporters, led by the Boatman, Simon Goodbrand. Technical support is second to none, the boats are as fast as any on the river and for the past twenty years, CBC has been blessed by two Senior Treasurers who have inspired astonishing levels of commitment and devotion to the Club.

An important precursor to the Bumps took place a fortnight earlier. A small crowd of Caius Boat Club members and supporters braved the inclement spring weather on a Sunday morning to launch the new racing eight that W1 would be using in the Bumps. CBC President, Martin Wade (1962) extended a warm welcome to all and two men in particular who, as Senior Treasurers for the previous 20 years, have guided it to unprecedented levels of excellence, first the Revd Canon Professor Jack McDonald (1995) (known to all as Jack) and then Dr Jimmy Altham (1965). When Jack left, Martin remembered that Dr Anne Lyon (2001) suggested that Jimmy (in spite of having no previous experience of rowing) would be the ideal person to inspire the members – in which she has been proved resoundingly correct! Jack spoke eloquently of his love for the Club and his continuing pride in its achievements. He said the day they launched and named a new boat in his honour was ‘the second happiest day of my life’. He recalled that, when he took over as Senior Treasurer, the previous incumbent, Professor Simon Maddrell (1964), had assured him: ‘It will only take you half an hour a week!” As it turned out, he found the task so engrossing that his tutorial pupils and others started enquiring why he had become a part-time Dean! Naturally, when Jimmy came to enquire about the work involved, he assured him: ‘It won’t take up much of your time – only about fifteen minutes a week – they do it all themselves!” In reply, Jimmy said that was true, up to a point, but he had thoroughly enjoyed the time he had spent with the Caius ‘boaties’ since his appointment in 2006 and was deeply honoured that the latest craft would bear his name. He paid tribute to Pete Walker (2007), a past Captain of Boats, who had discovered a splendid Empacher racing eight, previously used by the Netherlands lightweight crew, for sale at a reasonable price. Recalling his earlier role as Director of Studies in Philosophy, Jimmy quoted Aristotle’s Ethics: ‘With honours bestowed by good people and on reasonable grounds, one should be moderately pleased’ and added a personal gloss: ‘Well, to hell with moderation, I’m really chuffed!’ To complete the ‘launching’ ceremony, Jimmy then poured a modest libation of champagne over the prow, wisely reserving the rest for other purposes, and W1 took to the water to show just how fast the new Jimmy Altham could go. The next double Headship may come next year, next century or (Heaven forfend!) to another college. But the spirit and comradeship of Caius Boat Club is unbeatable. Go the Mighty!
