From the Director of Development I was excited and delighted to join Caius in January this year, and immediately

set about meeting Caians. Many of the 2019/20 events and reunions had been cancelled because of the kitchen refurbishment, so I particularly looked forward to our US visit, the May Week Party and the September Annual Gathering. All those occasions would have given me chances to meet and thank you, our loyal supporters. Your generosity has been vital for the College and will continue to be so in the challenging years that lie ahead.

As I write this, 6 months into the pandemic, I feel sad that the computer screen has been my closest friend for too long now. Like you, I am itching to see life return to normal, to plan for the future and celebrate all that is so special about you Caians and this College. The new kitchens should be ready for action by early 2021 and in a feat of optimism we are publishing the events calendar on the back cover. It is correct as we go to press but may change, so please check the website.

You will notice a few changes in the team when you get in touch and when you next visit Caius. Eva Dangerfield, Sam Cooper, Felipe Fazenda and Tristan Selden (2015) are still here, joined this summer by Guy Lawrenson as the Deputy Director, Catherine Quinn as the Senior Development Officer and Callia Kirkham as the Alumni Assistant. They will all be pleased to hear from you at any time.

This twentieth issue of Once a Caian… is our promise to you, Caians in the UK and all over the world, that we are as determined as ever to stay in close contact with you, whatever pandemics and other challenges may get in our way. Membership of the Caius family is for life: this is your College and you will always be welcome here. You are valued members of this very special academic community and I cannot wait to get to know you all.

‘Something useful’ turned out to be working as an interpreter (Brownie point for Maša’s parents!), first for the UN Human Rights Commission, and then for the War Crimes Tribunal. As well as translating interviews with victims of war crimes, she used her archaeological skills in the gruesome task of exhuming bodies from a mass grave.

The Croatian War of Independence (1991-1995) and its aftermath meant that it was almost eight years before Maša could go back to finish her degree. After graduation, a friend with tenure at Cambridge invited her to help him on an archaeological project and then suggested she should do a Master’s degree here.

‘By the time I got my act together, the application deadlines were coming thick and fast. There were very few sources of funding I could apply for, and as an overseas student, I would be paying astronomical fees. I could never have paid for myself. So, when I was trying to work out which college to put on my list, I actually put only one, Peterhouse,

enerosity is infectious. Giving is said to be better than receiving, and it’s natural, after receiving a gift, to want to make a gift, in turn, to someone else. In that way, good deeds go right around the world.

Caian benefactors often tell us how happy they are, when their gifts are matched by others, or when their donations inspire friends to even greater generosity. For all of the past 672 years, this College has owed its very existence to its benefactors – and that is unlikely to change, any time soon. For our current students, Caius covers nearly half of the costs of their education, meals and accommodation, out of its Endowment.

Our new Director of Development, Dr Maša Amatt, completed both of her Cambridge degrees, a Master’s and a PhD in Archaeology, thanks to the kindness of strangers. Remembering how an overseas studentship and a timely research grant opened new opportunities for her, Maša has been immersed in educational fundraising in

Cambridge for the past fourteen years. She is delighted to have taken the reins at what modesty will not prevent us calling the leading Oxbridge college in fundraising.

Maša and her sister Iva were born and brought up in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia.

She enrolled at Zagreb University to study Archaeology and German – Archaeology because it was her passion, German because her parents, both linguists, felt a second language would help her to earn a living: ‘After the first year I was reaffirmed in my thinking, that spending four years learning various exceptions to German grammar wasn't going to be time well spent. So I quickly dropped German and carried on with Archaeology on its own. While I was studying, the political situation in the country started unravelling itself, and in my second year, the war broke out. That put a stop to anything remotely academic I was doing at the time. You know, the lectures pretty much stopped, the country stopped functioning, and I felt I wanted to get involved and do something useful.’

because it was the only one that was offering financial support. And it was specifically a studentship for overseas students coming to do one-year Master’s courses. Perfect. I applied for it and I got it.

‘I arrived in Cambridge on a very wet early October day in 1998. I hated it, the first term. Just everything was wrong. I really didn’t want to stay. Then I went home for Christmas; I couldn’t wait to get home. And then I just couldn’t wait to get back to Cambridge. Whilst I was at home with nothing to do, I was looking around at a country that was totally ravaged by the war.

There was very little to do, the prospects were really poor, the country was embroiled in this nationalistic narrative, and politics was in everything.

‘I just thought, no, no, no, I don’t think I

can cope with this. I’d like to go back and really dive into that archaeology I always loved doing – and rowing. So I came back – and I loved the rest of my time here. As the Easter Term approached, I thought I’d like a little bit more of this so I applied to do a PhD. I didn’t get funding straight away and had to take a year out. I went back home and worked, to save some money and then I came back in 2000 to do the PhD. And I’m still here.’

Maša’s PhD was on animal bone as a raw material, in Paleolithic and Mesolithic periods, when bone was plentiful: ‘I was trying to work out whether a particular species’ bones worked better for tool production. Very niche!’

In her final year, she had a serious back injury and needed an operation. She was out of action for two terms and had to intermit – which left a serious hole in her finances: ‘I spoke to the Senior Tutor at Peterhouse, and he said, “Oh, wait a minute, we have just had a gift from somebody” who, by serendipity, was a Medic, specialising in pain treatment. He had set up a hardship fund for graduate students, which didn't exist before.’

Life was improving again. While putting the final touches on her PhD, Maša joined a Cambridge research project on the domestication of the horse, with fieldwork in China. At that time, she had also met Chris, her husband, and they settled in the Suffolk countryside, sharing their home and love of walking with several dogs.

Archaeology offered two options, as a career: ‘You can either join something akin to

an archaeological unit attached to your local council, which is very interesting work.

You are really at the coalface all the time.

The other stream is academia – with very little in between. And, for an academic job, you have to be prepared to travel the world.

‘So I started thinking, if I’m not an archaeologist, what am I? What could I do? The theme of generosity of others has been quite strong throughout my years here. So I thought: well, it is very unlikely that I’m ever going to be able to do what these people have done for me. You know, I will never be able to generate the funds myself. But maybe there is something I can do to facilitate it, so that I play some sort of active role in creating opportunities, if I can’t do it directly myself.’

Once again, Maša’s contacts in Cambridge provided just the openings she needed: 2½ years as a Development Officer at Christ’s College were followed by 4½ years as Deputy Director of Development at St Catharine’s and then 6½ years as Director of Development at The Perse School. By coincidence, she was following the ‘exceptionally methodical’ Dr Anne Lyon (2001) at The Perse and Cath’s, and now at Caius, so she is very familiar with the highly effective, data-driven development systems

Mouse and Pebbles wondering why Maša’s working late again Left: Loxley looking cute

that Anne established at all three institutions. Maša very much appreciates her illustrious predecessor’s warm, continuing support.

Maša joined Caius in January 2020 and spent the next two months getting to know her new colleagues and settling into her new role – and then COVID-19 intervened. The unavoidable delay in implementing her plans has been frustrating – but she has dealt with interruptions before and even survived in a war zone. During the lockdown, the archaeologist has been digging away in the data-files, in search of buried treasure.

Pebbles, Mouse and Loxley have enjoyed her being at home more than usual.

As the battered world economy recovers, Maša’s task will be more vital than ever – alerting Caians and friends of the College to the enormous pleasure and satisfaction to be found in giving back – and helping a new generation of students to experience the Cambridge life and education that they themselves enjoyed so much.

by Andrew Spencer (2019) Senior Tutor

I

had earmarked the Easter vacation for working on preparing sources for my new Special Subject course on the early years of Edward III’s reign, the twenty years before the onset of the Black Death, while contemplating the prospect of my first exam term as Senior Tutor at Caius.

Looking back now I can see the irony of working on a period just before a biological, social and economic cataclysm.

I had my first meeting about Coronavirus with the College Nurse in January when we discussed how we might manage any isolated cases that emerged in College following the return of international students.

As Lent Term progressed, I continued to keep the College Council updated on our plans as they developed but to all of us it seemed a long way off, a distant threat almost too awful to be contemplated but comfortingly unlikely to materialise.

By the weekend of 14-15 March, however, it was clear that the storm was breaking and that we had to respond to the immediate situation while also planning for the future. The popular Parents’ Hall, which coincides with the end of Lent Term, had been cancelled at short notice and, as the

Master, Senior Bursar, Operations Director and I gathered in the Lodge on the Sunday morning, rumours were swirling all round Cambridge that students would be sent home immediately.

That meeting set the tone for the College’s approach during the whole crisis.

Our aims were threefold. First to act always in the interests of our students; second to be clear and open with what we were doing, so that everyone from the Council down to the undergraduates could see and understand why we were acting in the way we were; and third to use the College’s resources, built up over generations, to allow the College to weather this storm while also keeping an eye on the necessity of ensuring those resources were available to future generations.

To that end, we agreed that no students would be forced to leave College accommodation but that we would give students plenty of notice to arrange their departure once the University entered what it was calling ‘Red Phase’ (i.e. closure of all University buildings).

We also made the decision that no student would be charged rent while they were not occupying their room and that belongings could be left at no charge. This

seems obvious now but Caius was the first College to adopt a policy which all other Colleges subsequently followed.

The last physical meeting I had in College for several months was with the Tutors on Thursday 19 March, where we updated each other on the situation with our students, working out where everybody was, what support might be necessary for individual students, and clarifying general policy.

That the virus hit right at the end of term was a blessing in one sense – it gave us the breathing space to plan that was not afforded to schools who moved to a virtual learning environment over the course of a weekend – but a curse in another as accommodation patterns at the end of term, especially Lent Term, are always fluid as many students plan to remain behind to continue work during the vacation.

The efforts put in by Tutors to support and advise their students during this period and, indeed, the whole of the time we have been affected by COVID-19, have been humbling and heartening to witness. Our students are fortunate to have such a dedicated team of Tutors championing their interests, facilitated by an excellent team in the Tutorial Office, and I am hugely

Dr Andrew Spencer joined Caius as Senior Tutor in the Michaelmas Term 2019. He had previously been Admissions Tutor at Murray Edwards and Christ’s Colleges.

He graduated from King’s College, London, and Peterhouse, Cambridge, and teaches and researches in medieval English History, with a particular focus on politics and the constitution in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. He enjoys football (Liverpool FC), and choral music and lives in Huntingdon with his family and their dog.

grateful for the unstinting support the Tutors and staff have given me during this time.

Gradually, the picture emerged of a little less than half our graduates still in residence, either in College or in private accommodation, and a hardy and dwindling band of undergraduates, who numbered around 30 by the time Easter Term began.

Following the Prime Minister’s announcement of lockdown, I now found myself trying to organise academic and welfare provision for a remote Easter Term from the comfort of my five-year-old daughter’s bedroom (as it had the best WiFi signal in the house). After her return to school at the beginning of June, I was able to move into the spare room as a home office, which had been previously converted into ‘Primrose School and Nursery’ for my daughter and three-year-old son.

These experiences, of course, (including numerous invasions of Zoom calls by my children and dog) were echoed in households all over the world. The diversity of our students’ home lives was brought home to me by the different stories of lockdown study that I heard from my own tutees during tutorial video calls with them. Our students and fellows adapted brilliantly to remote teaching in Easter Term, quickly

learning the advantages and disadvantages of such a system and finding ways around the problems.

The main focus, of course, was the exams upcoming in Easter Term. The nature of these assessments were addressed in record time by all faculties and departments and changes were made, some relatively small, others wholesale. Classing was abandoned for first and second years, though in many subjects the assessments remained summative. For finalists, classing has gone ahead but students were provided with a ‘safety net’, which meant that their final class could not be lower than the one they had achieved the previous summer.

In the end, very few of our students needed to rely on the safety net and the performance of the finalists was outstanding – over 80 obtained Firsts – a tribute to their hard work and talent as well as that of our Directors of Studies and College Lecturers.

While our students were doing their assessments from their bedrooms and kitchens, our attention was turning to the future and how COVID-19 would continue to affect the life of the College in the upcoming academic year. A huge amount of work has been going on at University and College level to prepare for next year, to try to make

things as recognisably Cambridge and Caius as possible while acknowledging that not everything can be the same. This need not be entirely a bad thing. There is much that we have learnt from this crisis about ourselves and our processes – what is essential and must be retained at all costs, what can be improved, where there is space for innovation and what no longer has utility.

Caius is different now from before March but soon students will return and the empty staircases will be filled once again with the sounds of College life. We have all been apart for many months but while Cambridge itself felt empty, the Caius community lived on all around the world as students, Fellows and staff supported each other in innovative and traditional ways.

The Caius community that returns in October will be stronger, more aware of each other’s needs and determined to make the academic year 2020-21 a success, no matter what form it takes. It has been a steep learning curve for a new Senior Tutor to undergo but I feel blessed to have been supported by such a strong community during this time and, as Michaelmas Term begins, my preparations for that new Special Subject continue apace. Never has the fourteenth century seemed so relevant!

OVID-19 has provided a salutary reminder that all things must pass: our lives and all our plans can be turned upside down without warning.

Robert Gardiner (2018), our Senior Bursar, needed no such reminder. On 2 January 2017, he suffered every parent’s worst nightmare, when his eldest son, Jamie, lost his life in a climbing accident in Norway.

It’s a deeply personal choice, whether to lock such an excruciating experience away and deal with it in private, or to open up, and perhaps help to alleviate the sorrows of others. Interviewed for Once a Caian…, Robert was courageous enough to speak freely and honestly about the enormity of his family’s loss.

‘Jamie was totally wonderful. Everybody's child is wonderful. He was imaginative, witty, intelligent, hugely aware socially, incredibly supportive of his friends, always energetic, always doing something, always connecting with people. He was passionate about history and won himself a place at St Hugh’s College, Oxford. He rowed, he recruited loads of people for their boat club and captained the men's boats to their highest ever in Bumps.

‘He loved the outdoors, camping and climbing, and was tracked down by some other finalists who asked him, “Would you like to join our expedition? We need a historian!” They planned to cross the island of Spitzbergen, retracing the steps of a 1923 trip by Oxonians, including Sandy Irvine, who was lost with George Mallory on Everest the following year.’

Spitzbergen Retraced went brilliantly.

They raised the money required and completed a five-week trek across the island, retracing the route of the original explorers, re-photographing their photographs, dronemapping shrinking glaciers and striking new routes up peaks the original team climbed.

They also shot a considerable amount of video material, which Jamie wanted to make into a film, so returning in late August 2016 he deferred an attractive job offer from a US law firm in London to begin work on the film.

After Christmas that year, Jamie went on a climbing trip in Norway with an old school friend, another experienced climber and – as it happens – a Caian.

‘Tragedy struck on the second of January on the way down. They were resting after what they said was the best day’s climbing they’d ever done. The investigation said it was just a freak accident. Sudden. Fatal.’

Robert was at home alone, in Cambridge, when he received the news. ‘And our lives were turned upside down. At that point, you

Forged in the Fire have disbelief and belief in equal proportions’. Robert’s wife and the two younger boys were away, visiting her parents.

A friend drove Robert north and they came back, the next day.

‘We were met with the most astonishing expressions of affection, in particular from Jamie's friends. It carried us through that period. I would never have believed that, Jamie having died on the Monday, by the Thursday, our family kitchen was filled yet again with friends – but this time five of his closest friends from way back, reminiscing about Jamie, joking about Jamie and above all laughing again. We received hundreds of messages from friends, the local community, close family, but above all from Jamie's friends. We didn’t realise how many lives he had touched.’

There had been little in Robert’s life to prepare him for this extremity. Brought up in a quiet but studious family in a village near Cambridge, he went to the Perse School and

read Classics at St John’s College. Thanks to an excellent teacher at the Perse, Robert could compose in Latin and Greek. He won some of the endowed prizes for this which helped to pay his way in books through university, collecting three Firsts and the Sir William Browne Medal for Latin Verse.

‘Then at 21, I decided I’d been in Cambridge long enough, and I really needed to go and see the world. So I got on a train and I travelled and travelled and travelled and finally got off when it arrived at Liverpool Street. That was me expanding my horizons!’

Since he was ‘pretty good at doing exams’, he took a job with Price Waterhouse and qualified as a chartered accountant. He specialised in tax, finding surprising similarities with Greek lexicons: ‘because the British tax law is written in very thick books, on very thin pages, in very small writing, with lots of irregularities’.

He earned a partnership in the firm and married Rosemary, an English graduate from

Caians will recall the story of our sixteenth century benefactor, Joyce Frankland, whose only son was killed in a riding accident. She took comfort from the Dean of St Paul’s, who advised that she would have ‘student-sons in perpetuity’ as a result of her generosity.

As Senior Bursar, Robert’s focus is very strongly on the needs of the students.

‘They’re by far the largest part of the community, and we shouldn’t seek to dictate to them in an old-fashioned way. We should try to provide what they want, and embrace their concerns’. He has been keen to expand the resource of the Tutorial and Admissions Office and to improve the College’s access and participation, to promote transparency and bring more openness to governance.

Many see restoration of our historic buildings as a heritage issue, but for Robert,

it’s a matter of student welfare: ‘I could claim it was walking across a snow-covered court to the bathrooms in my dressing-gown that made me what I am but we don’t need that.

We’ve moved on.’

‘Roofs that don’t leak, windows that aren’t draughty, bright spaces, decent bathrooms, new paint so that it looks nice – all that makes a pleasant place for a student to say “Hey, come back to mine for coffee.”

That’s investment in their well-being. And it’s refurbishment. And it costs a lot.’

Jamie Gardiner, just graduated, had no chance to achieve the successes his friends and family foresaw for him. But his life was not in vain and he is not forgotten. His finest legacy may be his father’s compassion and care for others of his age, energetic, brighteyed, enthusiastic and full of promise. The students of Caius fit this description exactly.

Jessica Stewart

Somerville College, Oxford, and a marketing manager for publishers HarperCollins. ‘She had the interesting stories about the Thatcher memoirs or Jung Chang’s Wild Swans or Barbara Taylor Bradford’s latest slushy pot-boiler. So she supplied the dinner party conversation, which, frankly, tax advice was never, ever going to do. But it did supply rather more income.’

They started a family and moved back to Cambridge, but Robert’s heart had never been in tax. Aged 45, he decided to leave PwC – ‘I guess I took a late gap year’ – and eventually became Bursar at Murray Edwards College, where he spent five richly satisfying years. Then tragedy struck, out of nowhere.

Maybe 700 attended Jamie’s funeral between the church and the reception at Murray Edwards, but for the family, the pain was just beginning: ‘I was completely shattered. The next year was very, very, very difficult. The sixmonth stage was absolutely dreadful. It’s the stage when people begin to assume that, surely, you’ll be all right now – you look normal. Other people can hold in their minds for a while that you’re in grief, lost the thing that's most dear to you. Then they think that your life must normalise. But it doesn’t. You are still recalibrating every single aspect of your life without that person. I still can’t sit at the table with four of us without thinking it’s wrong. Jamie’s missing.

‘Grief is utterly exhausting. It stays with you for month after month after month.

But early in 2018 I began to feel as though a weight was lifting. I thought, early in the morning of 3rd January, “I’m desperately sad, but I’m not any longer feeling that sense of terror, fear, emptiness, devastation, being utterly at a loss to know how my life will continue – what to do next, living from moment to moment. I feel a lot better than that. Something has happened. I must have begun to adjust to my new circumstances”.

‘That’s my best description of the outcome of grief, it’s adjusting to your new circumstances. You don’t forget about or compensate for the loss. You adjust to it.

It’s like a piece of fabric, the middle of which has been rent – there’s a huge hole. You can’t mend it because too much has gone.

But what you can do is embroider the fabric around it.

‘I loved Murray Edwards. I had a fantastic experience there, workwise. But that’s where I was when Jamie died. Some things you want to change and some you don’t. Wild horses wouldn’t drag me from my house: it’s where Jamie was brought up. But I did need to move job and prove to myself that I could take on a new challenge, that I was a functioning human being. I left with a heavy heart, but Caius was a place with abundant opportunities.’

presidential elections tend to change the world – and the lives of the winners and losers.

In 2000, Al Gore won the popular vote over George W Bush, but lost the decisive one in the Supreme Court. Bush went on to declare ‘war on terror’ and another on Iraq.

Gore chose an even more difficult battle.

An Inconvenient Truth, his seminal book about the climate crisis, became an international best seller. The documentary film won two Oscars, the audiobook was awarded a Grammy and Gore shared the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007. In addition, with a group of likeminded partners, he set up an investment company to support businesses that were ethically sound and environmentally sustainable.

Church groups like the Quakers had favoured such investments for decades, without great success. Popular wisdom suggested ‘doing good’ might mean making less profit. Gore and his team set out to disprove that.

The founders included Gore as Chair, David Blood, ex-head of Goldman Sachs’ asset management, as Senior Partner, and two Chief Investment Officers, Mark Ferguson (son of the legendary Sir Alex) and Miguel Nogales (1993), who’d graduated from Caius with a First in Economics. They and three other founding partners set up Generation Investment Management in 2004 – and all are still closely involved in the venture.

Miguel explains their view on ethical investors accepting lower returns: ‘Our idea was to just turn this on its head and say, well, if you’re investing in companies that are contributing to the success of the world, you should actually be getting a better return, because they’re producing goods and services that are more aligned with what society needs. And you know what? When we started, it was unpopular. Most people were setting up hedge funds. That was the heyday of the hedge fund. I just thought it was the right thing.

‘We were very passionate about this, and even if it ended up being a small firm, we were happy with what we were doing. And, well, it’s now ended up being a very large firm. It has about $25 billion under management, which makes us a good, midsized fund manager. We have a hundred people, with the main offices in London, an office in San Francisco, and I’ve worked out of Madrid since 2012, because we have three children and we wanted to raise them here, in Spain.’

According to figures kept by Mercer Impact, from Generation’s inception in 2004 through January 2020, the firm’s global investment strategy returned an average of 11.36% net of fees per year. A comparable index – the Morgan Stanley Capital International – averaged 7.24% for the same period.

Generation’s analysts examine prospective companies in minute detail before they are approved for investment. The main standards are traditional financial data, integrated with Environmental, Sustainability Miguel Nogales (1993) with Al Gore at the Climate Reality Project

and Governance criteria. Their goal is ‘to invest in companies whose goods and services help make the world a cleaner, healthier, fairer and safer place’ – but they also vet those companies’ management teams for ethical practices and long-term viability.

For a company to join Generation’s ‘focus list’, it must score well on both business quality and management quality.

The scale is 1 to 5, with 1 the highest. All staff are encouraged to speak at focus list meetings and everyone votes simultaneously, by a show of hands (fingers), so junior members of the team are not influenced by seniors, consciously or subconsciously.

‘Our philosophy is very distinctive. We’ve only ever hired people that care about sustainability. And it’s always a bit of a disconnect because in theory, the so-called tree huggers – and I would consider myself a paid-up tree hugger – are usually not thought to be much good at making money.

You know, it’s generally not the same skill set or sense of values, but I think we’ve managed to find people with the right values, that have got a good financial brain, and can connect the dots.

‘One of the things I’m very proud of, because it’s what the Americans call a ‘mission-driven’ investment firm, is that we have very little turnover of people, less than five percent annually, which in the finance world is completely unheard of.’

Miguel grew up in Spain, the son of a Spanish father who was Professor of Pathology at the University of Granada, and ‘an incredibly active, entrepreneurial English mother’. His environmental concerns

developed early; he joined Greenpeace at 16 and was strongly influenced by the Rio Earth Conference of 1992, at which the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change was launched. He spent most of his gap year before university working as a volunteer with Conservation Australia on reforestation and biodiversity projects on species loss.

As a 16-year-old, he’d come to Aylesbury Grammar School to do ‘A’ levels. He spoke English fluently, but wasn’t used to writing

essays in it – however, he did well enough to get six ‘A’ grades and came to Caius for an interview.

Dr Iain Macpherson (1958) immediately spotted that Miguel still had his pyjamas on, under his shirt, to ward off the cold, and teased him about it. Miguel remembers him as ‘such a warm man, a guiding light and a great mentor to me’. It was Iain who steered him away from ‘the quantitative, statistical, numerical type of Economics’ towards social, historical, human and development Economics, which he found more interesting.

He remembers sitting in Hall, seeing Stephen Hawking (1965) at High Table, looking at the double helix and the Venn diagram in the stained-glass windows, and ‘feeling an enormous sense of possibility.

If these people can do that, what can I do?

I think that’s the first time in my life that I felt that.’

The short terms made life ‘incredibly intense’. He captained the 2nd Rugby XV, rowed in the 2nd VIII, missed most lectures, but enjoyed the supervisions and joined in the pre-Internet scramble for books at the Library, once the essay questions had been set. When the exam results were posted outside the Senate House, he searched all through the 2:1s, then all the 2:2s, feeling a little despondent, then the Thirds, and was finally overjoyed to find his name at the bottom of the list of Firsts.

In 1996, there was high demand from the City for Cambridge graduates. Miguel was weighing up three offers when he received a phone call from the CEO of Schroders in his room on ‘O’ staircase, which clinched it: ‘I think, after three years, you got a sense

Another bump: Miguel with Chris Hogbin (1993)

of possibility that bordered on overconfidence. Because you thought you were so smart, and of course, you had no idea about anything!’

His game plan was to spend a short time at Schroders and then use his Spanish to do development work in Latin America, ‘but I got hooked on investing. I became an analyst and then a manager and I realised I was quite good at it, so I just kept on going, because it felt right.’

After three years, he left to start up a European fund for a successful American firm, but ‘everything that could go wrong, went wrong. It was a valuable lesson in what not to do… So I was on the back foot and at a bit of a low ebb. I was also diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2003, so that was also part of it.’

And then came the invitation to help set up Generation. His ‘aha’ moment was realising he could marry his lifelong passions for the environment and development with investing.

Miguel has observed Generation having a really positive impact on the companies they invest in. All of their activities are part of the vast, global struggle to halt climate change: ‘This planet needs to be fixed. People like me need to do the right thing. There’s a huge amount of work to do, but I’m cautiously optimistic. We’ve got ten years to fix it, but I think we can.’

The way people have worked together to deal with the coronavirus pandemic, Miguel finds ‘encouraging and inspiring’. He admits he didn’t stick to his own career plan – but even US Vice-Presidents sometimes change course. The success you achieve may not be the success you aimed for in the first place, but it can be even more valuable and fulfilling.

aius House is the architectural embodiment of the College’s social conscience. For almost a century and a half, this Battersea building has been the outpost from which Caians have tried to share our educational and other blessings with some of London’s most disadvantaged young people.

In 1887, a group of Caius Fellows and students rented the original house on the site and started a Caius ‘settlement’, where recent Caian graduates lived and ran various clubs for local boys, girls and adults. When Edward Wilson (1891) came to London to complete his medical studies, he became a ‘settler’ at Caius House and did ‘mission work’, helping to run the clubs. It was here that he met his wife, Oriana. Wilson was the doctor on Scott’s 1912 expedition to Antarctica and died with him on the return journey. The Caius flag he took with him to the South Pole is still proudly displayed in the Hall.

In time, Caius House was purchased and administered by a board of trustees. By the beginning of this century, it had become very dilapidated and needed complete renovation. The trustees, led by Patrick Burgess (1964), first as Treasurer, then as Chair of the Management Committee and finally as Chair of the Trust, worked with Wandsworth Borough Council to sell the site and some council land to a developer for residential accommodation. In the process, they negotiated the construction of a brand new, state-ofthe-art, youth centre, the Caius House of today, which was opened in 2014.

I got involved with Caius House by becoming a trustee last year. I grew up in Cambridge and, having moved away for university, decided to return to do a PhD in Law at Caius three years ago. I learned that Caius House was trying to develop stronger links with the College and was hoping to encourage some students to get involved. I went for a tour of the building – entirely unsure what to expect – and was hugely impressed by the facilities, the range of activities and the many moving stories of young people who have gained skills or an education, or otherwise drawn strength from this place.

I was eager to get involved in any way I could. My original hopes for my contribution to Caius House – such as restarting the annual Caius House vs Caius College

...Always a Caian 11

One of the community cooking sessions regularly delivered at the centre

football match and creating College mentorship links with the young people at Caius House – have been disrupted by the global pandemic. It’s a shame to have had to put all of this on pause, but it’s a testament to the legacy of the founders of Caius House that I had such a positive response from students, who were eager to get involved with the charity and form part of the mentoring network. I hope that creating a meaningful and sustainable network of mentorship is still an achievable goal at some point in the future.

I consider myself incredibly privileged to have grown up in a world of support and opportunity, but I am aware that this is not the world which many people experience. I believe it is our responsibility to share our blessings, and I truly hope that I am able to do that by making a meaningful contribution to the work of Caius House.

Caius House is a youth club serving the community of Battersea, but we offer more than games and activities in our building.

We give mental and emotional support to the young people of the area to help them fulfil their potential. Our aim is to help them to progress, by gaining new skills, abilities and formal qualifications. The key to

The large sports hall is very popular and offers a wide range of sports, activities and events

Caius House is building confidence in our young people within a safe space where they can access support and guidance and learn to protect their mental wellbeing.

We offer classes and activities – including dance lessons, yoga, art classes, computer training, gym classes, and cooking lessons. We even have a recording studio and Caius House has produced two albums with songs written and recorded by our young people.

Our primary role is to support them.

But we also reach out into the wider community. We are currently moving into the tech sphere, training members of the local community to acquire technical skills which will help them to find employment.

The work we do is apparent from the progress of our young people. David has been coming to Caius House for several years. In 2018, he was shot three times in the chest. He survived the shooting but is left with scars and is suffering anxiety and PTSD. Soon after the incident, David joined our education programme. He had no qualifications and didn’t enjoy school; he didn’t know how to return to education and he felt helpless. But now he is attending Caius Educare, his confidence is growing, and he is planning for his future. Having visited Battersea Power Station, he is going to train as an electrician, and is presently working towards starting an apprenticeship once he has completed his studies with Caius House. The work we do can effect real change for individuals like David and the wider community in Battersea.

The pandemic has hit charities hard. We have had to close our doors, which has damaged our ability to deliver our aims.

Unable to provide a physical safe space, we cannot offer the usual social interaction, training, activities and classes. Some aspects of our programme have been moved online, but for most of it this is not possible. Our young people are stranded, and without the safe space we offer them, their future is at ever greater risk.

Caians can get involved with Caius

House in lots of ways: you could offer mentoring to one of our young people, providing guidance for their future in light of your particular experience. You could teach a class or run a programme based on your particular skills and interests. The managerial team has Caius alumni on the board of trustees, with room for more. Of course, it is also possible (and always appreciated) to make a financial contribution to the maintenance and growth of Caius House.

I hope Caius House will continue to thrive in the future, and even expand. We are so proud of our history and our historical relationship with Caius. As the College has changed the lives of countless Caians, we hope that Caius House will go on changing the lives of young people in Battersea for the better, helping them, in turn, to become a force for good in their communities.

P

rofessor John Horton Conway (1956), who fell victim in April 2020 to complications arising from COVID-19, is perfectly described in the title of his brilliant biography by Siobhan Roberts: Genius at Play.

John loved numbers, loved words almost as much, and possibly loved telling tall tales most of all. To meet and chat with him was a delight; to interview him, I found impossible, when I tried, at Princeton, in 2006. He spoke warmly of his time as a student and Fellow at Caius and beguiled me with a string of hilarious anecdotes, none of which was fit to print. When I asked to photograph him, he offered to pose with a Princeton Tiger. I halfexpected a trip to the University Zoo, but the tiger he had in mind was made of stainless steel (Once a Caian… Issue 5, p.27).

After this experience, I was more than impressed to read Roberts’ biography, which paints an engaging picture of this hugely likeable man, explains many of his brainbusting mathematical discoveries in terms which mere mortals might understand – and attempts to sift fact from fiction in at least a few of his entertaining stories.

John always stood out from the crowd.

Growing up in Liverpool, his nickname ‘Mary’ ensured that his junior school life was Hell. At senior school, he unwisely confided in his headmaster that he hoped to read Maths at Cambridge, and was consequently labelled ‘The Prof’, which led to a different kind of teasing. On the train to Cambridge, having realised his dream and won an Exhibition to Caius, he told Roberts he decided to switch his personality.

Separated from everyone he had ever known, the painfully shy introvert resolved to become an extrovert:

‘He worried that his introversion might be too entrenched, but he decided to try. He would be boisterous and witty, he would tell funny stories at parties – he would laugh at himself – that was key. ‘“Roughly speaking,” he recalled, “I was going to become the kind of person you see now. It was a free decision.”’

Trying to pin down John’s essential character, Roberts wrote: ‘He is Archimedes, Mick Jagger, Salvador Dali and Richard Feynman, all rolled into one. He is one of the greatest living mathematicians, with a sly sense of humour, a polymath’s promiscuous curiosity, and a compulsion to explain everything about the world to everyone in it.’

On being appointed FRS in 1981, John told everyone the acronym stood for ‘Filthy Rotten Swine’, but was proud enough to note that his signature in the book of induction followed those of Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Alan Turing and Bertrand Russell. He was admired by at least two Presidents of the Royal Society: Lord (Martin) Rees, a contemporary at Cambridge, described him as ‘among the most charismatic figures in Mathematics’, while fellow-mathematician, Sir Michael Atiyah, called him ‘the most magical mathematician in the world’.

As a student, he was precocious and playful, and managed to retain both of those qualities when he soared to the heights of academic eminence. He was a Fellow at Caius from 1962-64 and again from 19701987, after a sojourn at Sidney Sussex, and became an Honorary Fellow in 1998. From 1987, he was Professor of Applied and Computational Mathematics at Princeton.

geometrically about these things that I used to imagine myself with lots and lots of arms and legs, extra limbs. Because if I have two arms and point ‘em out, then they both lie in a plane. And I’ll use a leg as well, and now they are lying in threedimensional space. To form an adequate idea, an adequate geometric visualisation, of what is going on in 24 dimensions is more or less impossible. In large dimensional space, there are large numbers of directions to point, so you would seem to need quite a lot of arms and legs. I distinctly remember imagining myself stuck in the middle of this space, waving all my arms and legs in the air, and trying to understand things, looking up at the stars, pretending they are the lattice points, and just sort of daydreaming.’

For John, the trivial and the profound lay side by side and often cast light on each other. After the Conway group discovery, he made what he called ‘The Vow’, in which he promised to allow his mind the freedom to roam where it would: ‘Thou shalt stop worrying and feeling guilty: thou shalt do whatever thou pleasest’.

He claimed never to have worked a day in his life, because he took such enormous pleasure in what he did. He rarely prepared for his immensely popular lectures, preferring to take students on an ex tempore journey, to share with them something of the way his astonishing mind worked. Eternally youthful, he was happiest with young maths students, challenging and competing with them.

He had a number of impressive party tricks, such as reciting pi to 1,111+ decimal points from memory. He invented what he called the ‘Doomsday’ algorithm, by which he could tell you the day of the week for any given date in history or the future. He set up his computer to give him ten random dates for practice, before it would unlock for the day. His record for this task was 9.62 seconds.

His return to Caius in 1970 was engineered by Joseph Needham (1918), who was Master at the time. He offered John a Supernumerary Fellowship on condition that he did nothing for two years (i.e. no teaching), because Caius couldn’t be seen to be poaching a teaching Fellow from Sidney Sussex.

Naturally, John found that offer irresistible.

and the digital computer. It was a singularly apt appointment.

At a Societies Fair in the Guildhall in 1957, John demonstrated an early working model of a water-powered computer, nicknamed WINNIE – for Water-Initiated (Nonchalantly) Numerical Number Integrating Scheme. He won bets with a friend that he couldn’t climb a lamp-post in Green Street (there weren’t any) or ‘slip a ten-bob note between pages 7 and 8 of any book’. He frittered away a lot of time playing backgammon, chess, draughts, Go and other games, both conventional and invented by himself, including ‘Phutball’ (Philosophers’ Football). They provided mathematical nourishment and relief to his highly idiosyncratic mind. He liked to work on several projects at once, because he found inspiration would often strike when he was distracted.

For years, he was best known for the Game of Life. This is ‘a no-player, neverending game’ in which cellular automatons proliferate at a regular rate. At each tick of an imaginary clock, they multiply or divide according to simple, pre-determined rules.

Cells ‘live’ or ‘die’ according to their proximity to others. The results are far from simple and better shown on a moving computer screen than they can be described in words. To see it, simply Google ‘Conway’s Game of Life’ and prepare to be delighted and intrigued – and probably to waste more time than you intended.

The twist is that the Game of Life was conjured up in John’s extraordinary mind long before today’s computers. Never one to eschew praise, even John grew tired of the adulation it attracted, feeling that many of his other mathematical discoveries were more important, such as ‘surreal numbers’ (a new class of numbers, ranging from infinitely large to infinitesimally small), and the ‘Monstrous Moonshine conjecture’. The latter was then proved by one of John’s former students, Richard Borcherds, who was awarded the prestigious Fields Medal for his work.

It was John’s successful search for the ‘Leech lattice symmetry group’ in 1966 that made his name, and indeed, it came to be known as ‘the Conway group’, or ‘the Conway constellation’. The lattice is the pattern created by the points at the centres of a number of spheres, packed together as closely as possible. In two dimensions, if you place six one-pound coins around another, the lattice or pattern created by the six centre points is a hexagon. The lattice in three dimensions is a little harder to imagine – only the Leech lattice has 24 dimensions!

John tried to explain his method to Siobhan Roberts: ‘For a time I was thinking so

random, after-work chat with a member of the Formula One (F1) Red Bull racing team gave Professor Rob Miller (2001) the idea that the time taken to develop technology in his field of aviation could be cut by a factor of at least ten.

Rob fills an impressive multiplicity of roles, Professor of Aero-Thermal Technology, Director of the Whittle Laboratory and Director of the Rolls-Royce-Whittle University Technology Centre.

His industry partners include Rolls-Royce, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Siemens and Dyson.

The Whittle Lab brings in almost 10% of Cambridge University’s

engine?’ – ‘In about 6-10 years’ Rob replied.

Then Dickens told Rob how he had spent his own day – testing 20 rear wings for Red Bull racing cars. He didn’t fully understand how they worked, but he emailed the geometry of the most promising one to the racetrack. The device would be built overnight and put on a car for practice, the next day.

At that point, Rob says, ‘the penny dropped’. He persuaded Dickens to join him and set up rapid technology development teams at the Whittle Laboratory in Cambridge. The essence of the idea is small, sharp-focused teams, with no top-down management, in which industry and academia work together.

To move quickly, these teams need ‘the right tools’. This was achieved using AI and augmented design systems running on Graphics Processor Units. Manufacturing time

total income from industry. It is the world’s most successful academic research lab in the field, having won over 100 international awards, including the industry’s top honour, the Gas Turbine Award of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, no less than 15 times.

The ultimate aim of Rob’s research is to de-carbonise flight and power generation, an immense task by any standards. Aviation creates about 2% of global emissions, while land-based power produces about 25%.

Over a drink with his friend, Tony Dickens, an aerodynamicist with the Red Bull Formula One team, Rob spoke about the Whittle Lab’s latest work, developing second generation, 3D compressor blades for Rolls-Royce jet engines. Impressed, Dickens asked ‘When will they make [the]

was reduced by moving the manufacture process in-house and coupling it directly to the design system. For a set of jet engine blades, production time was cut from several months to eight hours. Finally, test times were cut by doing a value stream analysis and then scrapping up to 95% of the processes.

This reduced test times from months to days – and then to 15 minutes, using F1-style ‘pit teams’.

In 2017, they did a formal trial with RollsRoyce, funded by the Aerospace Technology Institute, and cut the development time by a factor of 100, from two years to one week. To meet the challenge of global climate change in the limited time left, Rob believes ‘such fundamental change in the way we develop technology is critical.’

The COVID-19 crisis provided a fresh challenge for this novel approach. Early on, Dr John Ellis (2000) advised other Caius Fellows he was concerned about lack of intervention by the UK government. This prompted a lively email discussion between scientists and medics in the fellowship.

Professor Axel Zeitler (2005), who holds a Chair in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, realised the exponential spread of the virus would create an urgent need for ventilators in poorer countries with rudimentary health systems: ‘I thought, if we’re in trouble, in the UK, how are they going to cope in sub-Saharan Africa?’

Axel contacted Bye-Fellow, Dr Zoë Fritz (1995) and her husband, Joel Ratnasothy, who makes software for the NHS. They introduced a friend who is an intensive care (ICU) medic

Professor Rob Miller (2001), the 1969 College Lecturer, and Professor Axel Zeitler (2005), the Kenneth Denbigh College Lecturer, outside their College rooms in Caius Court

at Addenbrooke’s. The expertise was growing, but Axel worried that his skills were in a very different area: ‘I do microstructure characterisation, chemistry and spectroscopy. I don’t build hardware. I knew my limitations, but I also knew Rob Miller is an expert in airflows and compressors, albeit at a very different scale.

So, on the off chance, I gave him a call, and it was an amazing coincidence.

Rob said “Oh, yes, I’ve been thinking about this area as well, with my colleague Dr Tashiv Ramsander. He’s a co-founder of Cambridge Aerothermal Ltd, a rapid technology development company in the Cambridge cluster: he’s got a good idea. I don’t know if I’ve got the resource to run a project like this, but if you guys are interested, why don’t we give it a shot?”

At that point, we had all the ingredients to get going.’

The project became the Open Ventilator System Initiative (OVSI). Other engineers, clinicians and scientists quickly joined the team, including Ivo Dawkins (2012), Aaron Fleming (2015) and Lucia Corsini (2010), all working in their own areas simultaneously.

Cambridge was entering lockdown, so they communicated by Zoom calls, but Rob Miller made the Whittle Lab available, team members had components home-delivered and cycled them in and they worked day and night through the first weekend, to have the first working prototype ready on Monday.

It wasn’t perfect, but they had made a start. They had proved success was possible.

From here, they were on a steep learning curve about all aspects of the project, from the clinical and mechanical requirements, to regulatory approvals and mass production.

The design would need to be as simple as possible, using inexpensive, widely available components, mechanically controlled. It had to be easy to mass-manufacture rapidly.

The team was quickly assembled and

embedded in the Whittle Laboratory. Many University departments were represented (including Engineering, Chemical Engineering, the Cavendish Laboratory, the Institute of Manufacturing) and various companies (Cambridge Aerothermal, Beko R&D, Cambridge Instrumentation, Interneuron et al). Rob noted: ‘the team’s ability to take on multidisciplinary challenges was remarkable.’

A great example was the pressure relief valve, the design of which was inspired by the mixing nozzles on the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 jet engine. This removed flow instabilities, resulting in a more stable operation than any commercially available valve.

Axel learnt that the standard, manually operated Ambuvac, carried in ambulances, wasn’t suitable for patients with the longerterm breathing problems caused by COVID19. The design clearly needed to utilise the latest clinical experience, so they recruited two senior ICU clinicians to the team. They argued strongly that the UK government specification was too inflexible. So the OVSI design became ultra-flexible: it works in noninvasive, mandatory or patient-triggered ventilation modes.

There are very few ventilators in any countries across Africa.

They are expensive, ineffective in harsh

environments and there is little local expertise in maintenance. The team soon realised the new ventilators should be made there. As well as COVID-19, ventilators are urgently needed for other ailments.

Childhood pneumonia alone killed 162,000 children in Nigeria in 2018. To achieve local manufacture, the Cambridge team’s partners included Defy and Denel in South Africa, Beko in Turkey and Prodrive in the UK. The first 20 preproduction ventilators were delivered in South Africa in August by a consortium led by Defy, the largest domestic appliance maker in sub-Saharan Africa. It is the first ICU-quality ventilator to be manufactured in Africa.

The challenge that started with an interdisciplinary email exchange in College continues around the world. The partnership has grown, to include companies and partner organisations from many countries.

Cambridge University will be the licensor, with free access, under open source. Axel is quietly pleased: ‘We’ve all worked under the agreement that it’s going to be made fully available to everyone. Nobody wanted to make any profit out of this.’

True to the precepts of Dr Caius and in the best traditions of global philanthropy, Axel and Rob saw an urgent need and answered it. They brought together a large number of like-minded volunteers and used their exceptional skills and abilities to find an altruistic solution to a serious, lifethreatening problem.

Stop press: In late August 2020, the Royal Academy of Engineering honoured the OVSI project team with a President’s Special Award for Pandemic Service, which recognises exceptional examples of engineering in the service of society, in the context of pandemic challenges.

Andrew’s first stand – in a CUCA election

As Chairman of CUCA, debating at the Cambridge Union

or Professor Andrew Roberts (1982) the admission of his daughter, Cassie (2017) to Caius was ‘the proudest day of my life’.

This is quite a tribute, both to Cassie and to Caius, because Andrew has enjoyed lavish praise and a mass of prizes, honours and awards for his historical books, which include authoritative biographies of world leaders such as Churchill and Napoleon.

A prolific speaker, who gave the White House Lecture in 2007, Andrew holds so many prestigious honorary appointments that it’s surprising he finds any time to write – but he does, by the simple expedient of leaping out of bed at five o’clock every morning. As well as confirming that his lifelong passion for History continues, this enables him to put in four hours of work before the other members of his muchloved family are awake: ‘It allows a proper train of thought… people don’t phone you.’

Cassie and her contemporaries had to spend their final Summer Term working at home. Andrew is sorry they all missed out on ‘May Week and watching the May Bumps and all the lovely things that made that last term so happy and memorable and glorious, as I remember it’.

Until the pandemic intervened, Andrew says: ‘Cassie had a fantastic time at Cambridge. She loved Caius and was enormously fortunate in her Director of Studies, Dr Ruth Scurr (2005) and her Supervisor, Benjamin Studebaker from Queens’ College. These people have given her absolutely first class teaching. She

Andrew Roberts (1982) with his wife, Susan Gilchrist, and his children, Henry and Cassia (2017), at the book launch of Churchill – Walking with Destiny, which is dedicated to Henry and Cassia

admires and likes both of them enormously.

It’s wonderful that, 35 years since I went down, the same quality of teaching is still there.’

Andrew was equally blessed in his own supervisors – Norman Stone (1959), Noel Malcolm (1981) and Tim Blanning, from Sidney Sussex. ‘Neil McKendrick was my Director of Studies. He was a giant and a genius… and known to be a sort of Tiger Mother to us all.’

Other influences included John Casey (1964), ‘still a very close friend of mine…

Michael Oakeshott (1920), Sir Jack Plumb, Hugh Dacre, Maurice Cowling… These people had a profound influence on my outlook on the world and my history writing. So, really, Cambridge and Caius have totally affected my whole life. I love the place.’

Andrew was one of the first Caians chosen by Dr Anne Lyon (2001), as Director of Development, to join the Development Campaign Board. He had already helped in an important fundraising coup for the College in the 1990s, ‘by introducing Neil McKendrick (1958) to Lady Colyton, a rather eccentric, elderly American multimillionairess, the widow of Lord Colyton, one of Churchill’s ministers’.

Despite neither of the Colytons having any prior connection with Caius, Andrew and Neil persuaded Lady Colyton to give the College US$250,000 towards extensively re-modelling the combination rooms, when the College Library moved into the Cockerell Building. This generous benefaction was recognised by re-naming the most elegant of those rooms the Colyton Hall.

Andrew grew up in Cobham, Surrey, and went to Cranleigh School, from which he was expelled for drinking and climbing buildings – a perilous combination. He therefore had to prepare for his University entrance exam at a Cambridge ‘crammer’, which helped him to win an Exhibition. He chose Caius because he’d heard it was the best college for History.

Luckily, by the time he came up, he had grown out of climbing buildings at least, and threw himself into safer pursuits, such as debating at the Cambridge Union, dining at the Pitt Club and chairing the Cambridge University Conservative Association (CUCA).

His connection with CUCA continues, as its current President. He’s quite proud of being the first non-politician to hold that office in

over 100 years, following in the footsteps of such notable parliamentarians as ‘Rab’ Butler, Francis Pym and Michael Howard.

He still remembers the Caius Latin Grace, word for word, and is liable to recite it ‘at the drop of a hat’ before formal dinners. He played for what he thinks was the Caius Second Rugby XV, rowed in the Rugger Boat in the Bumps and was ‘entirely undistinguished in both’. He’s grateful to his Tutor, Dr Iain Macpherson (1958), for good humouredly supporting him when he was arrested after a convivial dinner, and there was talk of his being sent down.

He doesn’t remember working very hard, but presumes he must have, because he got a First in his final year and became an honorary Senior Scholar. He recalls going to only three lectures in three years, but relished the supervisions and ‘loved sitting at the feet of biographers and historians…

I just thought, you know, I would like to be like you, one day.’

He threw himself into everything with typical energy and enthusiasm, making many lifetime friends, including the late Sir Simon Milton (1980), Simon Sebag Montefiore (1984) and Dean Godson (1980), now the Director of Policy Exchange, the Conservative Party ‘think tank’. Andrew even won the Rag Week ‘Custard Vote’ (see photos below), and had

what he fondly recalls as the time of his life: ‘I mean, it can’t be true, it must have rained sometimes, at Cambridge, but all I remember are these cold but cloudless blue skies, and having enormous fun before the descent of mortgages and jobs and serious matters. It was just pleasure, from the beginning to the end. I loved every second of it.’

When asked if he saw his biography, Churchill – Walking with Destiny as his magnum opus, he laughs and demurs, saying writers always think that of their most recent book. Henry Kissinger had no doubts, writing: ‘It is the crowning achievement of his career – and it will become the definitive biography of its subject’.

Speculating on which of his historic

subjects would have dealt most effectively with the current pandemic, Andrew reflected that Churchill was at Harrow when the ‘Russian ‘flu’ of 1889-90 killed over a million, worldwide. As Minister for War, he demobilised the British Army during the 1919-20 ‘Spanish ‘flu’. He saw disease as an enemy, to be defeated in the same way as an opposing army – and he admired scientists and listened to their advice.

Napoleon, too, dealt with bubonic plague and won admirers by visiting his sick soldiers in hospital after the Siege of Jaffa. Perhaps the most effective in the current crisis, Andrew felt, would have been Margaret Thatcher, who features in a chapter of his sixteenth and most recent book, Leadership in War. ‘As a scientist, she’d have instinctively, immediately, understood the concept.’

The subject of his latest study, King George III, would also have recognised the problem, having lived through smallpox outbreaks and supported Edward Jenner’s efforts to develop vaccination. ‘The last King of America – I’m going to try and persuade the Americans that he wasn’t the tyrant of the Declaration of Independence or the villain of Hamilton, the musical’. Well, if anyone can persuade them, it’s Andrew Roberts.

Sinhalese, Tamil, Malay, Mauritian, Malagasy and Khoisan – Sujit challenges ‘the pernicious assumption that the soul of the world was crafted in the West and then travelled east’.

Both books are magnificent achievements and a delight to read. The publishers have arranged for Sujit’s first edition and David’s affordable Penguin to land in bookstores in perfect time for Christmas shopping.

Here, David and Sujit compare and contrast their approaches: Why is oceanic history attracting so much interest nowadays?

David: One of the tasks of a historian is to look at old problems from new angles. The history of seas enables historians to break

free from nation-based histories by looking at ways in which societies separated by long distances have interacted. These interactions have taken many forms, cultural, religious, commercial, political, and have played a primary role in the creation of our world.

One only needs to think of the conquest and settlement of vast tracts of the globe by Europeans crossing the oceans since the time of Columbus, and the effect that this has had on native societies, leading in the Caribbean to the annihilation of the previous inhabitants and their replacement by slaves brought from Africa.

Sujit: I agree that oceanic history is a way of considering old problems with a new lens. I would add that the climate crisis has fed into both public and scholarly interest in the history of the seas. One might also approach this question from another angle. For islanders and those who live facing the sea in the Indian and Pacific oceans, which are the two oceans I write on, the sea has long been central to historical memory.

Consider for instance the vibrant historical memories evident in Pacific islanders’ genealogies of descent or Islamic narrations of pilgrimage across the seas. Perhaps I am only following in the footsteps of longestablished historical traditions.

he Boundless Sea – a Human History of the Oceans by Professor David Abulafia (1974), the Papathomas Professorial Fellow at Caius, has already received boundless acclaim, winning the 2020 Wolfson History Prize, the UK’s most valuable non-fiction literary award.

It is awarded to a book that appeals to a much wider audience than most history books. The chairman of the judging panel, David Cannadine, said they looked for works which ‘combine exacting scholarship with compelling readability’.

David said Planet Earth should perhaps be called Planet Ocean, as there is much more sea than land. He saw the Prize as ‘not just an honour, but a recognition of a particular way of writing history’. His aim was not just to write for other historians, but to share his ideas with a wider public. He said he was ‘proud and amazed to have received it’ and grateful to the College: ‘I could not have written the book without the support and stimulus provided by Caius.’

Waves Across the South – a New History of Revolution and Empire by Professor Sujit Sivasundaram (2002) focuses on the Indian and Pacific Oceans in ‘the age of revolutions and the rise of empire’ – several decades that span the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

It brings to life the communities that existed before the spread of European ships and values and examines how those influences changed them, and how the ascendant British Empire acted as a counter-revolutionary force.

What drew you to the history of the oceans?

David: My starting-point was a non-ocean, the narrow space of the Mediterranean, which accounts for just 0.8% of the maritime surface of the world, culminating in my book The Great Sea: a Human History of the Mediterranean,

published by Penguin in 2011. One cannot study the Genoese or Venetians without being aware of the comparison and even links (through the spice trade) with merchants in other seas, whether the Baltic or the South China Sea, so they too were always on my radar.

Sujit: I grew up a short walk away from a polluted beach in the Indian Ocean, in Colombo. In intellectual terms, I ran away from it in initially working on the Pacific Ocean for my PhD. My last book, Islanded: Britain, Sri Lanka and the Bounds of an Indian Ocean Colony, was a return home, an account of how Sri Lanka was made into a political, cultural, intellectual and environmental unit with the advent of British colonisation. With Waves Across the South, I wanted to bring together a string of islands that I’ve worked on, from Sri Lanka to Mauritius and from Singapore to Tonga and New Zealand/Aotearoa to Hawai’i.

Islands are often forgotten and misplaced, but this book is a way of thinking about them as central to the making of our world: as sites for experimenting with new political, social, scientific or cultural projects.

What is distinctive about your own approach to oceanic history?

David: There are many ways to write the history of the oceans, but what interests me is not so much the explorers who have dominated much of the literature but the traders who followed in their wake and established regular communication across spaces as vast as that between Lisbon and Macau or between Manila and Mexico from the sixteenth century onwards. The Boundless Sea is a ‘human history’, focusing on the people who crossed the oceans, the goods they brought (using plenty of

archaeological evidence, notably from shipwrecks), and the ideas they carried, such as the doctrines of Buddhism, Islam and Christianity. I devote half the book to the millennia before Columbus, which tend to be neglected in most books on oceanic history – but there is much to say about the ancient Indian Ocean, the medieval Atlantic and the astonishing history of Polynesian navigation. Then, after Columbus, I emphasize what has connected the three major oceans right up to the present day, while most historians have concentrated on a single ocean.

Sujit: Waves Across the South is a history of a particular period, the age of revolutions.

The history of the age of revolutions is often told as a Euro-Atlantic story where the American and French revolutions, together

with events in Haiti and the Latin American independence movements set the foundations for the diffusion of liberty, equality and rights. I wanted to take this narrative to a place where it had never really been: the Indian and Pacific oceans.

I argue that in this alternative age of revolutions, there are forgotten linkages across these oceans. These encompass political ideas, culture, knowledge, religion and commerce all set within the rhythm of the making and breaking of waves of the sea across the global South. So I guess what is distinctive about the approach is that it comes from the global South; it brings the people and perspectives from a connected southern hemispheric oceanic zone to the forefront in the story of the dawn of our time.

Gavin Stamp (1968) A memoir by John Casey (1964) Dan White

Gavin Stamp (1968) on Orkney Gavin Stamp and his wife, Rosemary Hill, in Sicily, April 2016

A

n art historian once described Gavin Stamp to me as having had the greatest influence in forming public taste in architecture of anyone since Ruskin. No doubt this was an exaggeration – but it was not completely absurd. Gavin was an enthusiast in a Victorian manner and almost on a Victorian scale, which indeed gave him an affinity with people such as Ruskin, William Morris and Pugin. He wrote excellent books, but his chief pulpit, from which he really did influence public taste, was the Piloti column in Private Eye which he kept up for forty years, writing his last piece only a week before he died. ‘Piloti’ are those faux columns used ubiquitously by modernist architects, with no plinth or capital.

Gavin had inherited the Private Eye column from his good friend John Betjeman.

Like Betjeman, Gavin was not an architectural purist. His steady attacks on modernist buildings were motivated as much by his loathing of greedy property developers and hopeless local authorities who promoted or permitted vandalism as by his acute sense that they were architecturally illiterate. In this he was a moralist – again in the tradition of Ruskin and Pugin. Gavin did much to revive appreciation of classicism, but his hero was Lutyens rather than such classicists as Quinlan Terry. And as well as being a member of the Victorian Society he became Chairman of the Twentieth Century Society.

Gavin was first published in the Cambridge Review when I was Editor and he was a student. His bold account of the user un-friendliness of James Stirling’s muchadmired History Faculty building offended those who had commissioned the building and established Gavin’s combative style. He was never afraid to offend in a good cause – as his excoriation of the Fellows of King’s for permitting the mutilation of the east end of their Chapel bears witness.

My earliest memory of Gavin is of his standing on a stage in Caius Court which had been constructed for the May Week performance of a Restoration comedy. Gavin – in waistcoat, stiff collar and baggy corduroy trousers, paintbrush in hand – was painting a piece of scenery that depicted St Paul’s Cathedral with the dome unfinished. Gavin had worked out that when the play was first performed that was the point of construction which St Paul’s had reached. This was my first intimation of that combination of enthusiasm and exactitude that was to mark his whole career. (He also devised the lettering over the ‘Gate of Necessity.’) I was his Tutor, and we were in touch to the end of his life.

He came up to Caius in 1968 – that annus mirabilis of student rebellion, the occupation of the Old Schools, virtually universal long hair, beards and (often) bare feet. All this made Stamp – in more or less Victorian dress, watch-chain and cravat – an exotic but not unpopular figure. (A number of his contemporaries even began copying his style.) With extraordinary loyalty, he went on coming back to Cambridge to give talks in College right up until his final illness. He gave several on the memorial architecture of the Great War, in which he had an obsessive interest. The Memorial to the Missing of the Somme is perhaps his most moving book.

I think Gavin always saw that architecture has to be understood in political as well as aesthetic terms. His passionate commitment to conservation went at first with a romantic right-wing politics. But later it developed in the opposite direction. His disgust with the forces that he saw as underlying the spoliation of our cities led him to celebrate the Attlee government, the welfare state, free orange juice and free hospitals. He hated Thatcherism and became an ardent supporter of the European Union. The legend ‘Bugger Brexit’ was embroidered on his shroud.

ir Maxwell Hutchinson has been elected unopposed as the next president of the RIBA and has replaced poor Michael Manser as the allpurpose knee-jerk champion of ‘Good Morning Architecture’ for any tv interviewer or news reporter, always ready to hammer the traditionalists and confirm that Richard Rodgers, James Stirling and Norman Foster are the greatest architects who ever lived and should be asked by Mrs Thatcher to replan and rebuild London immediately. Max now dines at Admiralty House with Nicholas Ridley to discuss the dismantling of those tiresome design and planning controls which so inhibit creative architects…

The RIBA has not elected a decent architect as president for decades. It is the thought, the hype, the propaganda that counts. Even so, Hutchinson &

eo-Bankside, the ‘award winning iconic development of luxury apartments’ (to quote its promoters) next to Tate Modern, formerly known as Bankside Power Station, was completed a few years ago…

The £400m development achieved a slightly comic celebrity earlier this year following completion of the immediately adjacent £260m Switch House extension to Tate Modern. The wealthy owners of the luxury apartments were suddenly horrified to find their privacy being invaded by being overlooked by lots of nosey artlovers…

They complained loudly, but it is difficult to have much sympathy as the most basic of searches when purchasing the flats would have revealed Tate Modern’s planned tall extension.

They certainly elicited no sympathy from the Tate’s former dictator, Sir Nicholas Serota, who

suggested that they should hang net curtains for privacy. An outrageous, patronising, snobbish suggestion – as if the hedge fund managers and wouldbe hipsters who, inexplicably, like living in stark, cool, minimalist

interiors like goldfish bowls could contemplate anything so lower middle class as putting up curtains…

Milord Rogers thinks it ‘an extraordinary development – there is nowhere quite like it in

showpiece, the Isle of Dogs.

This, called ‘Skylines’ is a block of commercial premises in Marsh Wall, just along from Col Siefert’s distinguished new home of the Daily Telegraph.

‘Skylines’ is built on what Corb called a module; in this case a 45-degree triangle on its side. This shape makes lots of funny gables like a factory, roofed in corrugated metal. Ah, but what subtleties there are in this brilliant conception! A touch of Hi-Tech in the (gratuitous) tubes placed in front of the studio windows; a dash of Expressionism in the wobbly string course amidst the brickwork; Rationalism in the use of standardised square windows; witty Post-Modernism in the concrete balls and wedges lying on the lawns and that humane hint of the Vernacular in the use of pitched roofs…

Our distinguished panel of judges – Norman Rogers, James Foster and Richard Stirling – had no doubt that this masterpiece should win the Hugh Casson Medal for 1988. Happy New Year!

London’ – which we might consider a mercy, as many find the buildings ragged, discordant and rather incoherent in both surface modelling and overall form…

That such a development, greedily impinging as it does on a major London cultural centre, could ever have received planning permission is, of course – along with so many other mediocre towers along the Thames – part of the legacy of the posturing former mayor who is now bringing the office of foreign secretary into disrepute…

Neo-Bankside did not win the RIBA’s Stirling Prize.

Although not of the immediate moment, it can have the Hugh Casson Award for the Worst Modern Building of the Year this year – to be shared with its immediate neighbour, that other monument of architectural arrogance, the new Switch House. Both serve to emphasise the urbane civility of what is now left of Giles Scott’s industrial masterpiece.

22 Once a Caian...

G

iven the chance of a sabbatical year anywhere in the world, many would dream of tropical islands.

Joanna Rowe (1987) chose to go to one of the coldest places on the planet, Paulatuk in the Canadian North. And she found the experience so rewarding that she is thinking of going back for another year – or longer.

Joanna was born in Vancouver, where her father lectured in History at the University of Victoria on Vancouver Island. She had only childhood memories of Canada, because they moved back to the northwest of England. Growing up in a village outside Wigan, she was ‘miserable’ at the Catholic comprehensive school but loved her sixth form college.

She knew little about Caius except its ‘amazing reputation for Modern Languages’.

She recalls Michael Moriarty (1982), her Director of Studies, with gratitude and affection: ‘he was the person who gave me that fantastic chance, which changed my life’. The beauty of the College helped her to be ‘very focused and calm’ and encouraged her to study. She made good friends among the women undergraduates, still very much in the minority, and ‘enjoyed the Shakespeare Society, which was play-reading and wine quaffing. The longer the play, the more red wine!’

She is not nostalgic about her childhood: ‘Everything was gritty and grimy and dark and terrible in the northwest of England. It was a horrible time to grow up, the ’80s, with the decimation of the proletarian societies in that area and an HIV epidemic in Liverpool. I never looked back and I never went back, except to visit my parents, and I

can’t say the region has improved.

‘There’s consumerism for the few who can afford to enjoy the smart locations in Liverpool and Manchester. OK, but if you’re not in that elite, it’s almost more abject than it was in the late ’80s, because it’s the working poor, people with three jobs and maxed-out credit cards, who go to the shop to buy one cigarette because they can't afford a pack. That’s the kind of poverty I found when I got to Paulatuk. I could relate to it very closely. The same abject despondency. I recognised it immediately.’

After graduation, Joanna used her languages to work for Macmillan in academic publishing and sales in continental Europe and Mexico. In 1994, she relocated to her present hometown, Hamburg, where she was a single parent to her daughter, Jasmine.

Joanna left Macmillan to learn about what were then ‘new media’ (the internet and CD-ROMs). She worked for the news weekly, Der Stern, as a translator for Deutsche Bank and Deutsche Bahn, and then resumed academic work with the University of Hamburg. In 2012, she ‘defected to the private system’ to become a Lecturer at the Fresenius University of Applied Sciences, where she is currently responsible for the English language part of the curriculum.

Seven years on, Jasmine left home to study law in the Netherlands and Joanna had the chance to spread her wings on a sabbatical. Still feeling an affinity with her birthplace, she looked at Canadian Universities Service Overseas (CUSO), and chose CUSO’s only Canadian activity, the Northern Distance Learning programme (NDL) in the Canadian North, vast, sparsely populated and one-third of the country’s landmass.

There is a sad history of Indigenous Canadian children being taken from their homes and sent to distant Catholic or Anglican ‘residential schools’, where they lost contact with their families, their culture and their language, and were often abused in various ways.

The North is of increasing strategic importance to Canada, because climate change is thawing the ice and there are concerns that Russia or China may make fresh claims on international waters: even now, the odd Russian submarine surfaces off Paulatuk.

Educationally, the most urgent need is to revitalise the Indigenous culture and language. The NDL aims to train Indigenous people, in particular, to gain professional positions in the Northwest Territories.

Paulatuk is a ‘fly-only’ community (69°N) of about 300 people. 74 are enrolled in the local school. At high school level, many are

...Always a Caian 23 adults, topping up basic English or Maths to improve employment prospects.

Joanna flew in for the first time in August 2019, in a 12-seater DC200, after her CUSO briefing session. It was ‘quite balmy’ (about 20°C.) so she surprised the locals by going for a swim in the Arctic Ocean. ‘It’s that beautiful empty Canada, of untouched, magnificent landscapes, quite breathtaking, really’.

The balmy weather didn’t last long. The freeze came in October and Joanna learned the delights of driving ‘quads’ over the frozen River Hornaday, to go ice-fishing for Arctic char, which the locals prefer to salmon. In spring, the Indigenous Inuvialuit people supplement their incomes by hunting for caribou, musk ox and geese.

Worse weather was to come. By late November, Paulatuk was down to less than half-an-hour of light each day. Then ‘The Dark’ descended, and would stay for almost two months. They have a firework display on 24 January, to celebrate the return of the light.

Joanna was lodging with Lorna, the Administrative Manager of the Housing Department. Lorna wisely takes a six-week

Lorna Neal (Administrative Manager, Paulatuk Housing Department, six years): ‘The people here are resilient.

They like indoor plumbing a lot, but they can cope without it. For me, walking home from my office at one o’clock in the morning, I like the fact that the Northern Lights are a regular thing.

There’s something about it being normal.’

holiday in the south in December/January, so Joanna had the house to herself. She wasn’t short of exercise, because she had a brisk, 10-15-minute walk to school every day – and she went home for lunch! She could have gone by truck – ‘but driving is sometimes an undertaking, because the fuel freezes’.

She did go to Vancouver for a two-week Christmas break, but flew back on 3 January to a temperature of -53°C. She was surprised the pilot was able to land. ‘Paulatuk is known for blizzards, and high winds can mean you’re stuck inside. It was good training for lock-down! And a blizzard can go from three to five days, no problem. If you’re on your own, it’s really tough. Scary. The entire house shakes, like an earthquake. And you know that if you go out, you’re going to die.’

Was there an upside to all this? ‘Well, when the sky is clear, it’s pretty amazing, because you can see the stars on the horizon all around, so you’re walking in a dome of stars.’

As at Caius, she made friends with the other women living and working in Paulatuk.

They are united in their determination to change the lives of the inhabitants, by

Linda Thomas (nurse who has spent ten years in the Canadian North): ‘You have to adjust to the isolation.

I tell myself I’m on retreat here. It’s nice to walk out, but you have to be careful of the wolves. And in summertime, it’s the bears.

So you never really relax, when walking.’

helping them to improve their living conditions, to find work and be selfsufficient, and to reconnect with their ancient heritage.

Attendance at the school tends to fall away as The Dark approaches, so Joanna had to encourage her students to keep at it.

‘A lot of my job is engaging or re-engaging people who are a bit disaffected with the whole idea of school. School represents a feeling of failure. It’s white Canada imposing its standards of performance.’

Much of her teaching, especially the distance learning, is one-to-one, like supervisions. The ultimate goal is to equip some of the students for post-secondary education. So, first, she must establish trust.

‘They might be completely disaffected, because they’ve had a bad experience at residential school – or they’re fragile because they feel “I’m going to fail at this” – and they’re not!’ – because Joanna isn’t going to let them fail.

Given the warmth and enthusiasm with which she speaks about her life in Paulatuk, it seems that, despite the extraordinary physical challenges, Joanna’s one-year sabbatical may have become a vocation.

Lanita Thrasher (recently qualified as a pilot, also runs the communal greenhouse): ‘I’ve just graduated and it cost me $70,000, but [because of COVID-19] I may have to find a new gig.

So it’s life-changing. Coming from up North, I had to work twice as hard to get where I am now.’

Esther Wolki (back home at Paulatuk after ten years military service in Afghanistan and elsewhere, now a skilled craftswoman): The best thing about Paulatuk is the land, for me.

It heals my body and clears my mind. Brings peace to my mind. The land is precious.’

Tammy Chen Fund – update It is with great pleasure that we report that the first Tammy Chen graduate students will be joining Caius this October: a musicologist and a historian.

The Tammy Chen Fund was established in memory of one of our graduate students, Tammy Chen (2013), who was killed in a terrorist attack in Burkina Faso in 2017. The Master at that time, Sir Alan Fersht (1962), led the tributes to Tammy and remains a keen advocate for the Fund.

The Tammy Chen Fund aims to encourage future graduate students to make an impact, both at Caius and in the wider world, in their area of expertise. As a preference, it sets out to support graduate students in Humanities, with the exception of Law and any courses offered by the Judge Business School.

Many Caians have generously responded to the invitation to help build up the Tammy Chen Fund. At the end of 2019/20 we are about half-way to endowing the Fund in perpetuity.

Thank you all very much indeed!

We hope that many more will generously support the Fund, dedicated to supporting young people preparing for an academic career.

Fersht Class In Issue 6 of Once a Caian… we reported on the official opening of the Stephen Hawking Building by Prince Philip and the visit of Lord (Martin) Rees, President of the Royal Society, to Caius Hall to present Stephen Hawking (1965) with the Society’s highest accolade, the Copley Medal.

Now, another eminent Caius scientist has received the same honour.

Caian Copley Medallists 1802 William Hyde Wollaston (1782) 1824 John Brinkley (1781) 1927 Charles Sherrington (1880) 1950 James Chadwick (1919) 1955 Ronald Fisher (1909) 1957 Howard Florey (1924) 1972 Nevill Mott (1930) 1975 Francis Crick (1949) 2006 Stephen Hawking (1965) 2020 Alan Fersht (1962)

Sir Alan Fersht (1962), Master 2012-2018, is one of the founders of the science of protein engineering. His research into the stability of proteins included important discoveries about the tumour suppressor p53, the so-called ‘guardian of the genome’. In 70% of cancers, mutation inactivates p53, impairing the body’s natural defences.

Commenting on the honour, he hoped it might inspire the next generation of scientists: “Most of us who become scientists do so because science is one of the most rewarding and satisfying of careers and we actually get paid for doing what we enjoy and for our benefiting humankind. And most of us don’t do it to win awards. But recognition of one’s work, especially at home, is icing on the cake and makes us feel appreciated. Like many Copley medallists, I hail from a humble immigrant background and I’m the first of my family to go to university. If people like me are seen to be honoured for science, then I hope it will encourage young people in similar situations to take up science.”

Alan is reluctant to bask in the glory, but Caians will see this as a well-deserved tribute to an exceptional man.

Corpus Intact Agnetta Lazarus

The Latin word used by John Caius (1529) for the Master of his College was Custos, or custodian. Even today, an important part of the Master’s job is to ensure that the College and its possessions are preserved and passed on intact to future generations.

All the Masters of Caius and Corpus Christi College The Master with Dr Philippa Hoskin, Donnelley since the fifteenth century Fellow Librarian of the Parker Library, and Professor Christopher Kelly, Master of Corpus will, at some time, have Christi College allowed themselves to picture a few volumes going missing from the magnificent medieval library at Corpus.

The idea might have prompted a wicked twinkle in the eye of the Caius Masters, but a shudder of horror from their counterparts at Corpus.

The reason lies in an injunction made by Matthew Parker, Archbishop of Canterbury, Master of Corpus and close friend of Dr Caius. Parker wanted to ensure that his precious collection of manuscripts and early printed books would remain together after his death. He left them all to Corpus, on condition that ‘if six manuscripts in folio, eight in quarto, or twelve in lesser sizes were lost through “supine negligence”, the whole collection, together with the plate given by Parker, was … to be surrendered to Gonville and Caius College within the space of a month’. Every year since then, the Master of Caius has been invited to conduct an audit of the Parker Library at Corpus, with the right to inspect any number of books from the catalogue.

In February, before the lockdown, Dr Pippa Rogerson (1986) went on her annual pilgrimage up King’s Parade to perform this task. She thoroughly enjoyed a close encounter with some amazingly beautiful, illuminated medieval manuscripts, including the Corpus Apocalypse (MS 20), Peterborough Psalter and Bestiary (MS 53), and St Augustine Gospels (MS 286). Happily for Corpus, all the items Pippa asked to see were present and correct. Maybe next year…

All is Vanity A chance remark about ‘vanity publishing’ over dessert in the Panelled Combination Room, some years ago, tempted Professor Paul Binski (1975) to pounce. ‘Vanity publishing? All publishing is about vanity. Every book I ever published was, anyway!’

Self-publishing continues to grow more acceptable and more prevalent, as technology makes small printruns easier and more affordable. Many authors prefer to retain both control and any profits (which are sadly rare). Marketing the books takes time and application, but that is also increasingly possible, thanks to social media.

One recent example that will interest many Caians is Busking Latin by Bernard Barker (1965), Emeritus Professor, Education at the University of Leicester. It’s a funny, thought-provoking, personal memoir about the power of education to change lives. The book is available from the Stamford Press, 8 The Maltings, Water Street, Stamford, PE9 2NP. Price: £13.00 inc. p&p.

An extract from Busking Latin, featuring Bernard’s experiences at Caius, will feature in the 2018/19 issue of The Caian, on which the indefatigable Editor, Dr David Riches (2007) has been hard at work, making the most of the enforced isolation of 2020.

Since 1731, the roll-call of Copley Medallists, including Davy, Faraday, Darwin and Einstein, reads like a Who’s Who of world-renowned scientists.

Alan is the tenth Caian and the third Master of the College to receive the UK’s top award for science.

Thanks to our Medics Sadly, the pandemic robbed our 2020 graduates of all the fun of their final Summer Term. For most, that meant studying from home, but our medics started work at once, in hospitals and clinics.

Rachel Elwood (2014) sent this photo from the BA Dinner in February, where most final year Caius medics met for what proved to be their last special celebration before starting work.

Chris Gilmartin (2014) was honoured to be Boat Club Captain when Caius regained the Headship of the River in last year’s May Bumps. Chris is pictured holding the trophy with CBC’s three Vice-Captains, Kathryn Knight (2016, Law), Anna Samuel (2017, Linguistics) and Charlotte Heeley (2017, Architecture).

Asanish Kalyanasundaram (2014) writes that his trusty bike, bought at a Caius charity sale, has never let him down, from delivering first year essays to the Porters’ Lodge, to cycling to Royal Papworth Hospital for his first shift as a newly qualified doctor.

All our medics have worked tirelessly in difficult and unique circumstances caring for patients as part of the NHS response to the pandemic. They deserve our warmest appreciation.

No More War Frank McManus (1945) writes: I was particularly impressed by John Casey’s sermon on Patriotism for the Remembrance Day centenary. Dr Johnson deemed patriotism ‘the last refuge of the scoundrel’ but Walter Scott famously asked ‘Breathes there a man with soul so dead, That never to himself hath said: “This is my own, my native land”?’

I distance myself from the war-related observances at Martinmas (11/11), noting that St Martin was a pioneer conscientious objector who left the Roman army for church-building in France.

My father was discharged as 100% disabled from wounds on the Somme. He regained his health subsequently. Millions didn’t. I feel he was ‘murdered’ by Haig, who thought it was a man’s duty to die.

What bewilders me is the failure of churchfolk to attend to the ban on battles by Jesus himself, in rebuking Peter for swordplay in his defence. We hear this every Palm Sunday and ignore it seven months later. Remembrance means not forgetting: ‘No more war – never again!’ Anything less demeans ‘our tryst of love with them that sleep’* * Archbishop Darbyshire, Hymns Ancient & Modern (Revised) #585

e humans are a connected species.

The death of any one of us causes pain and sadness to someone.

When fatal infections start to spread, we are forced to separate, but it goes against our nature.

In its long history, the College has often been threatened by epidemics, but not within living memory. The students who returned from the Great War did not evacuate for the ‘Spanish ‘Flu’ of 1919/20, but soldiered on. Until COVID-19, the last epidemic to close our gates came in 1815, so the 2020 lockdown is rare – but not unprecedented.

With unfortunate timing, Edmund Gonville founded his Hall in 1348, the year the Black Death (bubonic plague) arrived in England. Between 800,000 and 2 million people died, up to half of the entire population.

We know more about the ‘novel coronavirus’ than our ancestors knew about plague, but still it puts the fear of death into us. If our forebears fell sick, most of them believed it was because ‘it pleased Almighty God’.

We now understand that any epidemic of bubonic plague in humans is preceded by one in rats. When the rat population is

decimated, the fleas that carry the bacterium Pasteurella pestis (aka Yersinia pestis) seek nourishment elsewhere. Anne Roberts described the process in graphic if unappetising detail in History Today (Volume 30, Issue 4, April 1980): ‘When an infected rat is bitten, a bloody suspension of living plague bacilli is drawn up into the flea's stomach, where they multiply and block the gut. The flea becomes hungry, but cannot feed until this blockage is disposed of. It is then termed a ‘blocked flea’. When it sinks its mouth-parts into the next victim, the flea injects its previous meal, now cultured into a teeming mass of living plague bacilli, into the bitten area. At the same time the flea defecates, and scratching the fleabites helps to inoculate faecal plague bacilli.’

Perhaps our forebears were fortunate not to know the details. The results were terrifying enough. Gonville deserves our gratitude for the confidence he showed in the future, as does John Colton (1348), the first Master, and his colleagues, for their resolute perseverance in implementing Gonville’s wishes while the plague ravaged Cambridge.

The few surviving records of Gonville Hall contain no mention of the plague, but we can be sure that it, like the rest of Cambridge, suffered from other virulent infectious diseases, such as the sweating sickness, on

...Always a Caian 37

The first 1593 College Order on Plague, for anyone who would like to test their ability to interpret the College’s historical records.

Latin version transcribed by Michael Prichard – 7o November. Saeviente in oppido Cantab. peste, decretum est consensu omnium sociorum, ut scholastici nostri Collegii ac pensionarii a tutoribus (qui commode potuissent) in rus dimitterentur ad 13mum Januarii, ita ut nihil detraheretur stipendiis scholasticorum, ratione huius suae absentiae praesertim urgente hac periculi sui necessitate. / De quo admonitus Custos per litteras suas hoc decretum approbavit.

Michael’s translation can be found in the accompanying text at paragraph 9.

which Dr Caius (1529) was the recognised authority.

The first mention of plague in our records comes on 7 November 1593, 35 years after the refoundation of the College

by Caius: ‘The plague raging in the town of Cambridge, an order is made with the agreement of all the fellows that the scholars of our College and the pensioners should be sent into the country until 13 January by tutors who have been able to make suitable arrangements, and that no deduction should be made from the scholars’ stipends, their absence on this occasion being due to the pressing necessity arising from the danger to them. Being informed of the action taken, the Master approved this order by letter.’

Later, the Fellows were permitted to leave, except for a few required by Dr Caius’ statutes to remain on the premises for the security of the College. Fellowship stipends were also paid in full, without the statutory deduction. After Christmas, the Order was extended to 20 February. Similar provisions applied in 1603-4 and 1605-6.

John Venn (1853) notes payments of 26s.

8d. to Mr Naylor for preaching ‘in the sicknes tyme’ of the plague of 1610, and in 1625: ‘To the porter for his paynes extraordinary in the feare of the Visitation, 40s.’

In 1630, plague returned again. A Fellow at the time, William Moore (1606) tells us in the Annals that the Heads of the colleges agreed that all teaching in both University and colleges should be suspended and most of the students should remove to safer places.

A College Meeting in April 1630 ordered a ‘lock-down’, with provisions for locking and barring the gates, day and night, and a complete or partial ban on entry and exit.

Provision was also made for ‘furloughing’ the staff – so they should not suffer financially from the protracted absence of the Fellows and students.

The precise allowances are recorded.

Among those retained to perform specific

tasks, ‘the Cooke that shall stay’ is allowed 6s. a week, but the cook that was laid off (‘the Cooke that shall goe abroad’) is allowed 6s. 8d., no doubt because he would lose the free daily meal or bread that the cook and the baker were allowed in kind. In addition, 10s. a week is shared between the occupants of three almshouses on Trinity Lane, and four individuals (Richard Harvey, Mungy Powell, Goodwife Gibson and ‘Ward, a poore servant’), who presumably did various menial jobs, were to receive 1s. a week (1s 6d. for Goodwife Gibson). The money was to be raised out of the ‘remaynes’ from fees for degrees and disputations and the savings on feasts and commemorations ‘that shall fall in the time of the visitation’.

These provisions are evidence of the care and attention to the College and its staff that was characteristic of the two principal officers at the time, the Master, Thomas Batchcroft (1590) and an outstanding Bursar, Robert Welles (1584). They were both among the traditional quota of 3-4 senior members who stayed on in College to ensure its security and welfare – a vital task, given the precious books in its library, the supplies in its kitchen storehouse and the very large balance of movable wealth (over £1,000) in the counting house.

This time, the plague lasted for eight months, after which, the Annals tell us, ‘health restored, the students flock back from every quarter and resume their interrupted studies.’

1636 saw a further outbreak and, in Venn’s words, ‘the College did not escape so well’. The pestilence arrived in Cambridge very suddenly: one Fellow, two Scholars and a Sizar (poor scholar) died in College and, as Moore relates, another Fellow, Ralph Philips (1629), ‘was stricken with the disease, but the swelling burst and he has recovered’. It is the only visitation in which we are told of deaths in College.

The Great Plague reached London in the Spring of 1665 and soon spread to Cambridge. A senior Fellow, John Gostlin

(1647) wrote that the disease was ‘rampant in next to no time’ and in College a partial lockdown was imposed: the gates were to be kept locked and barred, both day and night, and persons were only allowed to go into the town on strictly essential business, which was to be conducted with caution and as expeditiously as possible. As usual, four Fellows remained.

The pestilence became dormant by the end of the year. Town and University returned and blissfully resumed their normal routines for six months. Then, at Midsummer 1666, it broke out again with terrifying speed, to the consternation and panic of the townspeople, who, in Gostlin’s words, ‘fled as of one accord, except those few whom slender means or force of circumstance or miserly pennypinching kept at home’. The College was completely locked down and tutors found shelter for their pupils in the surrounding villages and counties. Gostlin wrote that he could spot neither a townsman in Cambridge nor a gownsman in the University.

The College Cook, Christopher Green, and his family were admitted to the College, to feed those who stayed – with a fortuitous outcome, Michael Prichard tells us that his son, also named Christopher Green (1667) was admitted the following year to the Scholars’ table and progressed to become Fellow, Dean, Steward, Bursar and Greek Lecturer, before resigning his fellowship to marry in 1688. He then became Regius Professor of Physic in 1700 and held the office for 41 years, until he died, aged 89.

Addenbrooke’s Hospital was opened in 1766, a century after the Great Plague, but in good time for the next closure of the college in 1815.

1666 was the last serious outbreak of plague in Cambridge, and although the College has twice sent its students out of residence for fear of infection since then – in 1723 for smallpox and in 1815 for fever – it did not experience another ‘shut-down’ for medical reasons until 2020. History suggests this is unlikely to be our last pandemic.
