From the Master This is really the ‘women’s issue’ of Once a Caian... because for the first time we have more stories about women Caians than men. The good news is that, for the first time in 670 years, from October 2018, we will have a woman Master. The best news is that the Master-elect is Dr Pippa Rogerson (1986). As Pippa herself told The Daily Telegraph, ‘It shouldn’t be a big deal – but it obviously is!’ For myself, I can now rest easy in the knowledge that Pippa will be a wonderful custodian of Caius and will, I am sure, take the College to new heights of excellence in education and research. There are other reasons for celebration – the Nobel Prize in Physics won by Professor Michael Kosterlitz (1962), the third Gas Turbine Award won by Professor Rob Miller (2001) for his work in developing the jet engines of the future for Rolls-Royce, and the opening of our splendid new Boathouse. We have also suffered many sad losses this year – Sir Douglas Myers (1958), one of our greatest benefactors (see Once a Caian... Issue 15, pages 14-15), Sally Yates, executor of the estate of Lord Peter Bauer (1934), and a number of Caians who have left extraordinarily generous bequests, Professor Patricia Crone (1990), Derek Ingram (1974), John Chumrow (1948), another Nobel Prize winner, Professor Roger Tsien (1977), Jonathan Horsfall-Turner (1964) and several more. Their gifts will add enormously to the College’s options in the future. We have commissioned a small team of experts to take a close, analytical look at our future. They asked students, staff, Fellows and friends of the College to outline their vision for our 700th year and they have produced a thought-provoking report, Caius2048, which will be considered by the General Meeting of Fellows in October. At a time when governments all over the world seem to be more concerned with their own survival than the future of the planet, it’s surely appropriate for responsible academic institutions like ours to seek to fill the gap with a little intelligent planning and forecasting of our own. The bottom line, as they call it, is refreshingly positive. In addition to the significant bequests already mentioned, Dr David Secher (1974) and his team in the Bursary and James Howell (2009) and his team in the Development Office have been doing a magnificent job in building an Endowment to future-proof the College. I shall enjoy my final year as Master of Caius in the knowledge that our College is in good heart and rising above the financial challenges we faced in the early years of this century. For that, we are enormously grateful to you, our loyal Caian supporters. Once a Caian... is a small token of our appreciation.

r Pippa Rogerson (1986) has been chosen by the Fellowship, subject to the formality of a statutory pre-election in April next year, to lead the College as Master from the start of the Michaelmas Term 2018. Pippa will be the 43rd person to hold the office in 670 years, the first woman ever and the first Catholic Master since Dr Caius. She finds these historical curiosities interesting but not central to her role. She has no plans to envelop the Chapel in clouds of incense and she has known since her undergraduate days at Newnham that ‘the world doesn’t end if women occupy positions of authority! ‘It never occurred to me that women would not be Professors or run Boat Clubs. All the portraits in Hall were of women, so I took that for granted. I was involved in the JCR and rowed in one of the lower boats –

and of course, Newnham had good kitchens and decent bathrooms.’ Pippa was born and brought up in Suffolk and still feels herself ‘of Suffolk.’ She attended a Catholic boarding school for girls, which she did not enjoy, and moved to the Colchester Institute of Higher Education so that she could study Economics when she came up in 1980. She feels that Newnham, as a secular college, was more diverse than others and had ‘a wide variety of races, faiths and sexualities – even then.’ Economics was not as absorbing as she’d hoped. With some relief, she changed to Law and thoroughly enjoyed the intellectual stimulation of being supervised by two distinguished Caius Directors of Studies, Len Sealy (1955) and Michael Prichard (1950). Michael, now Senior Fellow, is still in the same rooms, at the top of ‘K’ staircase. He made a lasting impression on Pippa and was, she notes, the only academic in Senate House Passage on the Saturday afternoon of her degree ceremony, courteously congratulating his successful Newnham students. After graduation, she qualified as a solicitor with the city law firm Clifford Chance, practising in her specialist subject: international commercial litigation. She thinks she ‘probably should have gone to the Bar,’ but family funds were limited, so she settled down to work and one day found herself interviewing candidates in Cambridge. Michael Prichard invited her to lunch and mentioned that, if she wanted to do a PhD, as she’d got a

...Always a Caian 3 First, she’d have a good chance of getting a Tapp studentship. It was a revelation that there were College funds which would cover the cost of a PhD. So she came to Caius in 1986 and started supervising students as well as doing her own research. 1989 was a big year: Pippa handed in her PhD thesis, got married in June and was elected to a Fellowship at Caius in October. Michael Prichard was coming to the end of his term as Director of Studies (DoS) and naturally wanted to secure ‘a seamless transition’ in the College’s continuing teaching of Law. Pippa feels she was ‘jolly lucky, with some fantastic mentors’ and ‘joined a strong tradition of teaching at Caius.’ She already had a family connection with the College, by way of Thomas Rogerson (1611), son of the Vicar of Honingham in Norfolk, and Thomas’s son, Robert (1645) who became Rector at Denton in Norfolk. In 1642 Thomas was ejected from his living in Monk Soham for being insufficiently orthodox in those Puritan times. She was appointed DoS in Law and University Lecturer in 1990, Senior Lecturer in 2001 and Reader in 2017. Once installed as Master, she will retire as DoS but will continue supervising: ‘Law is a very important part of what I am and what I do.’ Over the past thirty years, she has been the DoS to nearly 500 students at undergraduate, Masters’ and doctorate levels. The transformative bequest of William Munro Tapp (1877) which continues to fund many scholarships, half in Law and half in other subjects, is still of great benefit to Caius in helping to attract top Law students from all around the world. Not all end up practising Law, but as Pippa says: ‘Law is a great training for the mind.’ She notes that many of her law students have gone on to successful careers in other fields. ‘The wonderful thing about Caius is that people stay connected to the College for a long time. We encourage people to come back often for Annual Gatherings. The Fellows and staff are loyal and long-lived. The network of connections is therefore very strong. The buildings are quintessentially ancient and there’s a feeling of stillness and connection with the College as a place of learning, that people can continue drawing on throughout their lives.’ She pays tribute to the work that Professor Sir Alan Fersht (1962) has done during his term as Master. ‘My view of the College is that it’s not in a bad place – it doesn’t need radical changes. We need to continue to focus on the things that are important and making the wonderful range of opportunities here available to the widest range of people that can both benefit from them and contribute to this amazing community.’

One of the major tasks of her Mastership will be a long-term plan to refurbish the College Kitchens. A firm supporter of the Minimum Dining Requirements, Pippa believes Caius students should eat together and it’s therefore vital to provide good food and proper facilities in which to prepare it. Her view of the Mastership is that it requires: ‘not firm leadership as such, but a more diffuse guidance – of influencing the agenda, of making sure things are done properly, of considering what the outcomes

‘It’s the College’s role to provide students with an environment in which they can be the best version of themselves. It’s a golden slice of their lives; three or four years is quite a short time, but what we do at Caius is to provide them with a springboard to go forward.’ Pippa demands a strong work ethic from her own students, advising them to concentrate on study along with the cocurricular and extra-curricular opportunities in Cambridge, but it’s on the subject of

of decisions might be, of reaching a consensus, and of bringing people with you. I think we’re all agreed as to what the mission of the College is: excellence in education and research. So it’s a matter of ensuring that everyone is able to do their best at that. Maybe that’s what Dr Caius meant by calling the Master “custos” – custodian or keeper – in his Statutes for the College.’ She is sympathetic to those who encounter difficulties and sees it as the College’s job to help and support them: ‘This generation of students is under considerable strain: they’re under financial strain and they’re under social pressures – the support networks that would have been there at home or in their communities are becoming more fragile, and we’re seeing an increasing need for student welfare to enable them to take advantage of their time at Cambridge.

nurturing the next generation that she becomes most passionate and eloquent. She has considerable personal experience in this area: her husband, Gerry, a corporate finance lawyer, was ‘ahead of his time in wanting to help out with the children.’ She accepts that having children ‘imposes a pause on one’s career’ and what she has achieved at Caius would not have been possible without his support. To her great sorrow, Gerry died in 2007, leaving her with five school-aged daughters. All of whom, she says, were ‘fantastic and pulled together’, ultimately helping her through the devastating experience as much as she helped them. From October 2018, Pippa will have a much larger brood to care for: she will do it with that blend of tough love and good humour that has served her so well in her own life.

n Sunday 20 November 2016, the day of the College’s Service and Feast for the Commemoration of Benefactors, the Hon. Dr John Lehman (1965) officially opened the new College Boathouse. John has always enjoyed the peculiar logic of his career trajectory from Captain of Boats at Caius 1966-67 to Secretary of the US Navy 1981-87 and he was pleased to find it recorded for posterity on a beautifully carved stone plaque on the wall. The new Boathouse maintains aspects of the façade and exterior style of the Victorian structure of 1879 – but the interior has been designed to suit the twenty-first century needs of a club that has consistently set new standards of excellence in College rowing. Eighteen Headships in the May Bumps in the past thirty years is a record that will be hard to match. CBC’s benefactors, who raised all of the £4.5 million required, can also be very proud of their own achievement. Many were there on the day, including our tireless President, Martin Wade (1962) and all three of the Senior Treasurers who have led CBC to the Headships of the modern era: Professor Simon Maddrell (1964), Revd Dr Jack McDonald (1995) and Dr Jimmy Altham (1965). Caius was also Head of the River in the May Bumps of 1840, 1841 and 1844, but the Senior Treasurers of those years were unaccountably absent. We draw a discreet veil over the years from 1844 to 1987, when Caius Headships were rarer than hen’s teeth. Dr Jimmy Altham welcomed the 200 or so invited guests who came to celebrate this auspicious occasion, first paying a welldeserved tribute to his predecessor, Jack McDonald: ‘It was in Jack’s time that the Boat Club achieved and maintained an astonishing supremacy over other College Clubs, culminating in 2007 in the right to erect a clock tower and weather vane.’ By Cambridge tradition, only clubs that retain the Headship for five and six years respectively are entitled to such flamboyant ostentation – and Bill Packer (1949) had long promised to cover the costs of this,

whenever Caius could find the wherewithal to restore the Boathouse to its former glory. Jimmy outlined the inadequacies of the old boathouse, ‘a dear old thing that will always be remembered with affection’, and described with typical modesty how he and the Domestic Bursar, Alan Jermy (2009) had steered the idea of a new boathouse through numerous College convocations who understandably were concerned about the funding needed for other College priorities. The College Council agreed to authorise the start of construction provided that a satisfactory tender was received and the costs of the project borne entirely by donations. To the huge credit of Caius ‘boaties’, when it came to raising the funds required, they dug deep and covered all of the costs out of their own pockets or purses and over £4million was raised within just 12 months of the campaign launch in February 2013. Anne Lyon (2001), then Director of Development, said it was a great team effort and especially paid tribute to Martin Wade who accompanied her to numerous London meetings and John Lehman who hosted similar meetings for American donors when she was in New York. It’s safe to say that each of the many friends of CBC who donated is now pleased and proud to have played their part in realising what Jimmy Altham called ‘the Head Boathouse on the Cam’. After the event, Anne Lyon mused on the diverse personalities of Martin, John, Jack, Jimmy and others, who each brought something unique to the campaign and united to achieve a common goal, just as a rowing eight finds its rhythm and harnesses the strengths of all participants. ‘Above all’ she said, ‘this new Boathouse is Jimmy Altham’s legacy to the College he’s loved and served with such energy and enthusiasm, in so many different ways, for more than fifty years.’ As well as state-of-the-art facilities for Caius oarsmen and oarswomen, the Appeal funded the renovation of six self-contained flats for graduate students next door at 28 Ferry Path, now named ‘Alice Cheng House’ in recognition of the exceptional generosity of its leading supporter. Alice Cheng (2013) herself was the guest of honour at the official opening by the Master of the building bearing her name. The spacious flats were ready for occupation by the start of the 2016 academic year and will doubtless be highly sought-after by partnered graduates for many years to come. The names of eighteen major benefactors to the new Boathouse are recorded for posterity on an engraved stone plaque, mounted on the building. The old Victorian boathouse served the College well for 135 years: perhaps in 2148, our successors will choose to celebrate the College’s 800th anniversary by building another new one. We wish them well.

It’s not Rocket Science – or is it? by Mick Le Moignan (2004) Natalie Glasberg

Rob Miller sitting in the Whittle Laboratory in front of a jet engine test rig Rob’s paper, Competing 3D mechanisms in compressor flows, discussed in this article, can be downloaded at https://cambridge.academia.edu/RobertMiller

t’s helpful to identify your field of study as early as possible. Fortunately for Professor Rob Miller (2001), Roger Ainsworth, an Oxford Professor of Engineering, spotted his aptitude after he wrote to him as a sixth form student. Roger invited Rob to visit him at St Catherine’s College, took him for a stroll in the College gardens and told him about his research on jet engines. As a result, Rob’s career has flown higher and faster than he ever imagined. His parents were teachers with an Arts background. From Shavington Comprehensive he went to South Cheshire Further Education College to do his “A” levels. All sorts of vocational courses were on offer ‘from bricklaying to beauty therapy’ but Rob chose Further Maths and Physics and had ‘great teachers’. He wrote to Professor Ainsworth, who invited him to Oxford and took him for that ultimately life-changing walk around the College gardens. The young Rob had no special interest in jet engines and wasn’t sure what he was going to do, but he enjoyed the drinks parties students had with their supervisors, where he often heard Ainsworth enthusing about his research. At an Engineers’ dinner in Rob’s third year, the Professor said ‘Would you like to come and work for me for the summer? I’ve got an exciting project with Rolls-Royce.’ ‘So I spent that summer in the lab and we developed some new instrumentation for Rolls-Royce; and I sort of got hooked. I remember cycling back to College, thinking about problems that no-one had ever solved before! Undergraduate life is fun, but getting to grips with these real problems was strangely addictive. For a 20-year-old from a comprehensive in Crewe, that’s quite a heady position to be in.’ At the end of the summer, Ainsworth invited him to do a PhD sponsored by RollsRoyce. Rob’s research has been partly funded by that company ever since. He’s keenly aware that the transition only occurred because he was living and working in the collegiate world: ‘Roger Ainsworth is now Master of St Catherine’s, Oxford. He’s spent his life at the very highest level of science, but then he’s also a very college-based person – I think if I’d gone to any other university, other than Oxford or Cambridge, I wouldn’t have had that opportunity. That allowed me, as an 18 or even 17-year-old, going up to meet him, to interact with an exceptional human being. I don’t think other universities offer that sort of connection at such a very young age. And he taught me fluid dynamics and thermo-dynamics once a week throughout my first two years in College. He’d always bring in jet-engine analogies and bring to life why we were studying what we were

...Always a Caian 7 studying. It’s a very human connection: without him, I wouldn’t be here.’ Thermodynamics and fluid dynamics, Rob explains, are the subjects that underpin jet engines. Fluid dynamics is the study of the flow of gases or liquids, involving anything from the way liquids flow through a pipe to air-flows over Formula One cars. Thermodynamics involves changing the temperature or pressure of a fluid significantly enough to change its energy, such as boiling water in a kettle. Historically, Cambridge has played an important part in the development of both land-based power generation and aero propulsion – and it continues to do so. In the 1880s, Charles Parsons of St John’s College developed the steam turbine, which is still the basis of 80% of the world’s power production. Fifty or so

years later, Frank Whittle, studying as a mature undergraduate at Peterhouse, developed the jet engine. As Cambridge’s Professor of Aerothermal Technology, Rob is also Director of the Rolls-Royce Whittle Lab University Technical Centre, which is the world-leading research laboratory on turbomachinery. All his research ‘is about transferring energy into or out of flows using rotating blade-rows.’ In the fan at the front of a jet engine, for example, energy is transferred from the rotating shaft of the engine into the air, raising its pressure and then using this to propel the aircraft, whereas in a tidal turbine the blades extract kinetic energy from the water flow, converting it into shaft power and ultimately electricity. Rob and his team work closely with RollsRoyce on jet engines, with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries on power stations, Siemens UK on small gas turbines for oil and gas pumping and Dyson on the turbomachinery in domestic products such as vacuum cleaners. He is passionate about the practical applications of this work, holding eleven patents jointly with industry. The aim of Rob’s research is to reduce the fuel burned and greenhouse gases emitted by jet engines and power stations. One of his recent research successes has been to develop a number of technologies to improve the three-dimensional shape of compressor blades in Rolls-Royce jet engines. A modern jet engine contains approximately 4,000

compressor blades in 30 rows, used to compress air to 50 times the inlet pressure. These technologies are predicted to deliver fuel burning savings of $120,000 per aircraft per year and reductions in CO2 emissions of 380 tonnes per aircraft per year to RollsRoyce jet engines. Rob explains: ‘One of these new technologies involved linking a branch of

Rolls-Royce’s UltraFan™ engine aims to deliver a 20% improvement in fuel efficiency and carbon dioxide emissions, compared to current engines, with a timeframe of 2020 to 2025. New technologies developed by Rob and his team will be vital to the success of this engine The diagram shows the topology of the threedimensional streamlines close to the surface of the compressor blade. The contours downstream of the blade represent regions of air which cause reduced performance. This knowledge makes it possible to design the optimal three-dimensional shape for a compressor blade Blade Surface streamlines Low performance region

Blade removed

mathematics known as topology with the structure of the three-dimensional streamlines close to the surface of each blade. As the mass flow of air through a row of compressor blades is reduced below a critical threshold, the pressure rise across the compressor suddenly drops. James Taylor, my PhD student, and I showed that this sudden drop corresponded to a switch in the topology of the threedimensional streamlines close to the surface of the blade. This understanding was then used to design a new style of three-dimensional blade shape with improved performance.’ Rob and his team’s success can be measured not only in terms of the successful industrial application of technologies but also in terms of academic prizes won. His publications have been awarded the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Thomas Hawksley Gold Medal 2010, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Air Breathing Propulsion Best Paper Award 2008, and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Turbomachinery and Heat Transfer Committee Best Paper Award, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2014, 2015, 2016. Most impressively, the publications of Rob and his co-authors have received the most prestigious international award in the field, the Gas Turbine Award, in 2010, 2014 and 2015. This Award has been made annually since 1963 by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in recognition of the most outstanding publication on the subject of landbased gas turbines or jet engine propulsion, published anywhere in the world. Rob is one of only three people who have won the award more than twice. The Master, Professor Sir Alan Fersht (1962) has observed that such US awards are often far less likely to be awarded to non-Americans. At the risk of embarrassing him, it has to be said that Rob is universally liked and admired. His personal style is open, friendly, modest and self-deprecating; he behaves in exactly the same way with first year students as with leaders in academia or industry. Like his mentor, Professor Ainsworth, Rob’s supreme loyalty is reserved for the College. Holder of the 1969 College Lectureship, endowed by Caians who matriculated in that year, he still supervises first and second year students in fluid dynamics and thermodynamics. He has served on the College Council (twice), on the Health & Safety and Finance Committees, as an Examiner of Accounts and is currently Chair of the Dining Committee, fired by a determination ‘to ensure that dining remains a central part of Caius culture for the next 20 years’ for all areas – students, staff, Fellows, alumni and guests at conferences and events. Failure is not an option: it’s probably not even a word in Rob’s vocabulary.

A Giant

Leap

by Mick Le Moignan (2004)

Professor Michael Kosterlitz (1962) at the presentation of his Nobel Prize in Physics, accompanied by Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden, heir apparent to the Swedish throne

rofessor Michael Kosterlitz (1962) nearly gave up Physics to become a professional mountaineer. If he had, Caius would not be celebrating its fourteenth Nobel Prize winner. Luckily for the College and for Michael himself, his wife, Berit, persuaded him that Physics was a better long-term prospect than climbing. So he accepted an invitation to do post-doctoral research at Birmingham University. He says: ‘It was the last place I wanted to go because it was a large, flat, industrial city with no mountains in sight!’ Nevertheless, he and Berit moved from the Italian Alps to Birmingham and it was there, aged 30, that he did the work that won him and two colleagues the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physics, 43 years later. Michael had science in the blood. His father, Hans, ‘wasn’t much to look at, but he was a pretty amazing guy.’ A physiologist and a self-taught neuropharmacologist, Hans left Hitler’s Germany with Michael’s mother in 1934, joined Aberdeen University and stayed there till his retirement. He tried to work out what morphine does and reasoned that there must be something already in the brain which performs the same function. This led to the discovery of enkephalins and endorphins, for which he won major awards in 1977 and 1978. Aberdeen’s Kosterlitz Centre was named after him in 2010.

Berit with Michael at Caius

His father’s research had quite an impact on Michael: visiting his lab, aged ten, he found a dead cat in a wastepaper basket, with its brain exposed. Michael chose Physics. He found his father surprisingly supportive, ‘because he’d wanted to do Physics himself, but his father would only pay for him to study Medicine.’ Hans sent Michael to Edinburgh Academy so he could take English ‘A’ levels. He sat the Cambridge Entrance Exams and won a Scholarship. ‘Caius was an eye-opener. I had complete freedom! Nobody kept track of whether I went to my classes or not, and it was often quite difficult to get up at nine after a night drinking beer, so I got up later and later.’ About this time, he discovered rock climbing and he found he was quite good at it. ‘It became an obsession and I climbed as much as I could.’ He spent every weekend in Derbyshire, the Lake District or North Wales and summers in the French Alps. The Master, Professor Sir Alan Fersht (1962) was an exact contemporary and delighted 500 guests at the May Week Party with a story about Michael trying to climb around his College

room, hanging on to the picture rail and not touching the ground. Michael knew about the famous ‘Night Climbers of Cambridge’ but didn’t join them, because he thought it was too dangerous – not because he feared falling, but because of the risk of getting caught. A friend had been spotted on the roof of King’s College Chapel, and had to run for it and hide in a freezing ditch on the Backs. It reminded Michael of wintry walks home in a kilt ‘in the land of horizontal rain’! One climbing challenge he couldn’t resist was the famous ‘Senate House Leap’. His friend, Glyn Hughes (1960) had a room overlooking Senate House Passage, at the narrowest point. They treated it like rock climbing, with a proper safety rope, but it was still quite scary: ‘I knew it had been done before and I could see it wasn’t a difficult jump, but a fall might be fatal. So I made sure there was enough slack in the rope and jumped – but I jumped so hard that before my feet landed, I hit the retaining wall with my chest and bounced back. Luckily, I managed to hang on.’ They didn’t try to jump back. Michael caught glandular fever and was told to go to bed for three days. He asked if he could go climbing instead. The doctor said he probably had an enlarged spleen and if he had a fall, the safety rope could rupture it and prove fatal. So he went dancing and

The Senate House Leap completed by Michael Kosterlitz is from the ledge above the gargoyles in Caius to the ledge running around the Senate House. For any modern day Caians thinking of emulating the feat, we would like to emphasise that (1) Michael was an expert climber and used proper safety ropes, (2) detection would result in being sent down and (3) a fall would almost certainly be fatal

met a beautiful Swedish girl. This was Berit and they have been together ever since. For the first couple of years, he got away with skipping lectures and read the books instead. He still got a First in Part I of the Tripos, but the Part II material was all new: ‘Five weeks before Finals, I didn’t know what the syllabus was. The exams were a nightmare: the only questions I could attempt were the few I understood. I got an Upper Second, but it wasn’t good enough to get me into the research group I wanted.’ He took Maths Part III to get his career back on track. He passed, but not well enough. Later that summer, when Michael was away climbing in the Andes, Nevill Mott (1930) called his mother to offer him a place in his research group on Condensed Matter, the field in which Michael eventually made his name. His mother was deeply impressed by the Master and said yes, she was sure her son would be honoured to work with him, but Michael had already agreed to go to Oxford, where he took a DPhil. His first post-doc year was at Turin, Italy: ‘Good mountains were the main attraction, but the Physics was pretty good, too.’ Next, he wanted to go to CERN in Geneva, for the same reasons, but completed the paperwork too late and was turned down. Michael was all in favour of a drastic change of career, but Berit walked to the railway station,

bought an English paper, sat him down and told him to apply. The only offer was from Birmingham, so he accepted it, but then CERN wrote to say they had some desk space after all. ‘I fought a battle with my conscience – and my wife and my father – but I lost, and in 1970, we moved to Birmingham.’ It was the most reluctant move of his life – and probably the luckiest. He did high energy Physics for the first year and kept writing up his work for publication, only to find a group from Berkeley were just ahead of him. ‘So I asked around, if anyone had a problem I might look at.’ He met David Thouless, who was working on unexpected phase transitions in very thin, effectively two-dimensional layers of matter. Michael wanted to apply the mathematical concept of topology to it: ‘I went away and did some calculations, then talked to him again. David said: “This makes sense: we’ll write it up.”’ And that was it. Michael had taken another leap in the dark, across the abyss, and landed safely. He says it’s all a matter of ‘being in the right place, at the right time and doing the right problem. That’s where the luck comes in. David knew everything about everything, all the conventional methods. I knew no condensed matter physics. David knew a fresh approach was needed, because the standard methods didn’t work.’

They received little recognition for several years, then in the late 70s, an experiment was done that proved their theory to be correct. They won the Maxwell Medal of the Institute of Physics in 1981 and for the rest of that decade, ‘the number of citations our papers got just exploded!’ About the same time, Michael fell ill and realised his climbing career was over. The initial diagnosis was either a brain tumour or multiple sclerosis. Fortunately, it was the latter and turned out to be slow to develop and treatable. Michael was deeply depressed at first, but ‘with Berit’s encouragement, I found I could move around and travel and enjoy myself. I can’t emphasise enough how important Berit was. Without her, I would have been a crippled invalid.’ In 1981, he was offered a resident Professorship at Birmingham with funding for a new research centre – or a position at Brown University. Margaret Thatcher’s government withdrew the funding for Michael’s project and he accepted the American offer: ‘I thought, I’ll show you – and I left!’ He and Berit have lived there happily ever since. He still has a Physics problem he’s working on and hasn’t solved yet: ‘I know what happens experimentally, but I can’t explain why it happens.’ It might not take much to find the answer: just one more intuitive leap of faith...

ost of the truly transformative gifts received by the College through our long history have been bequests. Naturally, they tend to be larger amounts, strategically designed to have a lasting effect. The donors have usually made a carefully considered decision to devote their worldly goods to a totally altruistic purpose when they no longer need them. Over the centuries, the College has had several significant bequests from women. Curiously, for an institution that excluded women for the first 631 years of its existence, Caius has been remarkably fortunate in the generosity of its female benefactors. Around 1500, Dame Anne Scroop, the last surviving member of the Gonville family, left the College eight acres in West Cambridge. It would take half a millennium for the true value of this bequest to become clear: in 2000, the Fellowship agreed to lease a part of the land to the Law Faculty, in order to secure the magnificent Cockerell Building just across Senate House Passage as our College Library. Six years later, the Stephen Hawking Building was opened on the West Road site. Towards the end of the sixteenth century, Dr Caius’ friend and patient, Joan Trapps, and her daughter, Joyce Frankland left very substantial legacies to the College. The latter had lost her only son in a riding accident and took comfort from the thought that her gifts to Caius would give her ‘sons in perpetuity’. The names of both women are still recalled in the litany of thanks at the annual Service for the Commemoration of Benefactors. Many charities fail to spend enough time and effort on securing legacies, because the Development Directors are The portrait of Joyce Frankland which hangs beside that of Dr Caius above High Table

Parting Gifts under pressure to show more immediate results from their fundraising efforts. Fortunately, approaching our 670th year, Caius can take a longer view in such matters. As the Master observed to an Annual Gathering, he hopes the receipt of ALL legacies left by Caians to the College will be deferred for as long as possible – especially his own! Individual circumstances will differ: Caians blessed with numerous children and

grandchildren will have to juggle their priorities – but they may nevertheless wish to remember Caius in their wills. For those without children of their own, leaving a bequest to Caius can represent a similar declaration of faith in the future. Geoff Norris (1956) has chosen, for the purposes of his will, to regard the College as another child: accordingly, his estate will be divided into five parts, one for each of his four children and one for Caius, in gratitude for the wonderful start the College gave to his career. For UK taxpayers, there are significant tax concessions in leaving legacies to charity. All bequests to registered charities such as Caius are free from Inheritance Tax. To encourage charitable bequests, if you leave at least 10% of your taxable estate to

Caius, the Inheritance Tax payable on the remainder will be reduced from 40% to 36%. Fortunately for Caius, many benefactors leave much more than 10% of their estates to the College. This year has seen the receipt of one of the most valuable bequests Caius has ever received: John Chumrow (1948) left the College the freehold of his house in Hampstead, valued at more than £3 million. John and his wife Margaret lived happily in the house for many years and saw its value appreciate considerably over that time. (See page12 ‘Anatomy of a Bequest’.) Dr Jon Denbigh (1961) has delivered a substantial bequest to Caius within his own lifetime, by executing a Deed of Variation. This is a way of transferring to the College funds that were left to Jon in his mother’s will. Had he accepted the bequest in his own

right, it would have been subject to Inheritance Tax; since the gift passes directly from the estate to Caius, it is paid free from that tax and is therefore much greater. In such a case, any other beneficiaries naturally receive a higher proportion of the tax-free allowance. Jon’s generosity has been recognised by his admission as a Gonville Fellow Benefactor of the College. Of course, the first priority of many intending legators is to provide for their surviving spouse or partner. Roger Tsien (1977) winner of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, spent most of his working life in the USA. He said he found the Caius approach a refreshing change from the implacable persistence of fundraisers for American universities. He intimated that his legacy to the College might well be

substantial, but said his estate planners had advised him not to divulge the probable amount, for fear of attracting further requests for funding from any number of good causes. After Roger’s death, last year, sadly only in his sixties, the College was informed that he had set up a complex trust which will support his beloved wife, Wendy, for life and will later confer generous benefits on Caius and Roger’s other American universities and charitable interests in set proportions. This kind of arrangement can be enormously helpful to the College in providing protection against unforeseen future financial storms. Also last year, Derek Ingram (1974) became the latest in a long tradition of unmarried Fellows who have chosen to leave the bulk of their estates to the College. Derek was a much-loved Director of Studies in Engineering who had no children of his own but guided the progress of a long succession of Engineering graduates in benign, avuncular fashion over many years. He loved his chosen subject as well as the College and was for many years the editor of the Caius Engineering magazine. Derek’s old friend and colleague, Professor Malcolm Smith (1990) recalls another gift to Caius: ‘Among Derek’s many contributions to the College, special mention should be made of his initiative to set up the Caius Engineering Trust. Derek provided a significant initial benefaction and others have generously added to it ... He was keen to emphasise the breadth of Engineering as a discipline and that it was distinct from both the Arts and Sciences, though it drew heavily from both. He felt strongly that there was a need for it to be separately promoted. Soon after the Trust was set up, the Engineering Fellows established an undergraduate prize in Engineering named after Derek – a very fitting memorial indeed.’ Derek specified that part of his bequest should be applied to the Caius Engineering Trust and part to general College funds. With careful planning, bequests can be powerful agents of change. Our history shows what a difference they can make. Indeed, without the many generous bequests received over the centuries, this College would probably not have survived. That is the extent of the debt we owe to the foresight and vision of our predecessors and those who have remembered the College in their wills. Any Caians, parents or friends of the College who are considering leaving a bequest to Caius are warmly invited to contact the Development Office to discuss the best way of realising their wishes. Such discussions will be strictly confidential.

John Chumrow (1948) OBE

Yao Liang

Anatomy Anatom Anatomy of a Bequest

ohn Chumrow (1948) won an Entrance Exhibition to Caius to come up to read French and German in our 600th year. He excelled as a sprinter and an opening batsman, becoming Secretary of the College’s Athletics Club in his second year and Captain of Cricket in his third year. He took a Certificate of Education in 1952. On leaving Caius, John auditioned as a singer at Covent Garden. He was offered a place but was warned that he would probably not get the top parts. So he accepted a position with the specialist paper manufacturers, Wiggins, Teape & Co. He became a Director in 1965 and continued as Group Executive Director, Research & Development, until 1982. Music was always important to him: he joined the Philharmonia Chorus in the 1960s and served on its Council for many years, as Chairman from 1981 to 1994. He became Chairman of Waltham Forest Housing Action Trust in 1991 and was awarded an OBE in June 1999 for services to the regeneration of Waltham Forest. It was this honour that led him to contact the College in January 2002. It had been incorrectly recorded in The Caian that he had been awarded a CBE in 2001, so he asked for his record to be amended, adding modestly: ‘I do not wish a correction to be published and therefore draw attention to the award once again.’ The Development Office, which keeps biographical records of Caians, wrote to apologise for the error and to express the hope that John would come back to College for a visit at some time. The following year, he accepted an invitation to the Annual Gathering in June. Unfortunately, his wife, Margaret, was taken ill and he was unable to attend. He wrote to explain and asked for his £25 payment to go to College funds. Dr Anne Lyon (2001), as Director of Development,

sent a letter of thanks for the gift and pointed out that, if John were to register under the Gift Aid Scheme, the recovery of income tax he had paid would enable the College to benefit by a further £7. She also wished his wife a speedy recovery and sent him, under separate cover, the Caius Legacy Brochure. Now that he was a donor, John was invited to the May Week Party in 2004. He wrote to Anne, saying he felt he was on the guest list under false pretences, having simply allowed the College to keep his contribution towards the costs of the dinner and concluded: ‘I am glad therefore to redress the balance by sending my first, and certainly not my last, proper contribution. This will be supported by a legacy in my will on which I hope to write to you further in the coming months.’ Anne wrote to John to thank him most warmly for his generous gift of £2,000, explaining that, since he had kindly completed the Gift Aid form in 2003, the College would automatically be able to claim an additional £564 of basic rate tax that he had paid. She invited him to join her for coffee or tea at the Oxford & Cambridge Club in Pall Mall to discuss his plans to include a legacy to Caius in his will. No meeting took place but John clearly enjoyed the May Week Party, since he attended again in 2005 and told Anne that he had arranged to leave a legacy of £50,000 to Caius. She wrote to thank him and advised that, since he was now a member of the Edmund Gonville Society for intending legators, he would be invited to the May Week Party every year. John replied that ‘under the convincing influence of the Master’, Neil McKendrick (1958), he had decided to increase his legacy to £75,000. Anne sent thanks again and invited John to the Farewell Dinner for Neil in September 2005.

by Mick Le Moignan (2004) The long-awaited meeting at the Oxford & Cambridge Club took place in March 2006. John told Anne that he and Margaret had no children but ‘don’t regard it as a tragedy as it has enabled them to do other things in their life’. He said that Margaret tired easily, having had heart surgery a couple of years earlier, and so might not have the energy to come to Cambridge for the May Week Party or the Feast for the Commemoration of Benefactors, but he said she was very pleased that he was supporting Caius. He explained that, for the next couple of years, the main part of his charitable donations were committed to the refurbishment of the Music School at his old school. After the meeting he did, however, write to say that he was increasing his legacy to Caius to £100,000. Over the following two years, John received a number of communications from Caius, which he courteously acknowledged. He liked the Christmas cards from the College and wrote to Anne to say how much Margaret appreciated being included in all the greetings and invitations. He reminded Anne that it was Margaret who had first encouraged him to give to Caius, as a way of supporting excellence. He enjoyed the photographic book, A Portrait of Gonville & Caius College, and sent his congratulations. Knowing his interest in music, Anne spoke to him about the possibility of supporting the Caius Choir: and when he read the College’s appeal brochure, Transforming Tomorrow, he decided to fund a named Choral Scholarship. True to his word, once his commitment to his old school was completed in June 2008, he wrote to confirm his intention to donate £50,000 + Gift Aid to set up the John Chumrow Choral Scholarship. Anne wrote back to tell him that this gift had qualified him for membership of the Stephen Hawking Circle, an honour which he accepted with pleasure. Regrettably, when he attended the

Once a Caian Issue 17 11-17_Once a Caian... 9-12 Issue 12 06/11/2017 12:10 Page 13

...Always a Caian 13 celebratory dinner in College with Professor Hawking, Margaret was still not well enough to attend, but he enjoyed the occasion and was pleased to take home a special copy of A Brief History of Time, ‘signed’ with Stephen’s thumb-print, duly authenticated. Anne also sent him some photographs of himself with Stephen, taken by Professor Yao Liang (1963) as a further memento. John had what he called a ‘fascinating struggle’ to understand the nature of the cosmos and the relationship between space and time, as outlined in the book. After the Dinner, he walked past Samuel Pepys' alma mater, Magdalene College, and recalled that the Cromwellians had once proposed to abolish the universities of both Cambridge and Oxford. He told Anne that he took this as: ‘a reminder that we alumni must continue our vital work – which I shall practice with great pleasure under your guidance.’

In September 2012, he wrote a sad note to say that his beloved wife, Margaret, had passed away at the end of August and asked that her name should therefore not be included in any future invitations. At the Feast in November, he enjoyed meeting the second John Chumrow Choral Scholar, Nicholas Doig (2012) and hearing from Geoffrey Webber about the Caius Choir's recent tours, which his fund had facilitated. He was disappointed to get home and find he had lost his miniature OBE, which had become detached while he was in the Hall – but Jenny Naseman of the Development Office located it and sent it back to him. The picture conjured up by John’s letters is one of increasing involvement with the College, probably greater than at any time since his graduation – and it was clearly a source of great pleasure and pride to him.

This was not the end of John’s generosity to Caius: in 2014, he made another substantial donation, this time to pay for a Lay Clerk to sing with the Caius Choir and to provide other assistance with managing and promoting the Choir. The award was to be named the Margaret Chumrow Lay Clerkship, in memory of John’s wife. Despite intermittent bouts of ill health, John was well enough to attend the Commemoration Feast in November 2014, where he had a conversation with Anne about becoming a Gonville Fellow Benefactor. She wrote to him later, to advise that a further £335,000 would bring his total lifetime donations to the required amount. Depending on his tax liability for that year, with Gift Aid, that could be achieved by further gifts amounting to £268,000. In reply, John promised to donate at least that amount and said he was delighted to do so:

The Precentor, Dr Geoffrey Webber (1989), Emily Myles (2015), the third John Chumrow Choral Scholar, Owen Winter, the third Margaret Chumrow Lay Clerk, and Dr Anne Lyon (2001), all standing in front of the Benefactors’ Wall inside the Great Gate, where the names of John and Margaret Chumrow have recently been added James Howell

The Precentor, Dr Geoffrey Webber (1989) introduced John to Catherine Harrison (2009), the first John Chumrow Choral Scholar, and he followed her subsequent progress with interest. 2010 passed without further contact, but in January 2011, John wrote to apologise for ‘the deafening silence from deepest Hampstead’ and promised to give a further £50,000 to support special activities by the Choir, such as touring and recording. He also advised that he had increased his intended bequest to £250,000. The latest gift entitled John to become a Founder of the Court of Benefactors and to attend the annual Feast for the Commemoration of Benefactors in the splendid gold-edged, blue gown traditionally worn by the College's Fellow Commoners.

He saw it as a rare opportunity, during his retirement, to do something that was not only philanthropic, altruistic and beneficial, but which also brought him great personal pleasure and satisfaction. In 2013, he wrote to Anne Lyon to tell her of his decision to leave his house in Hampstead to the College. He wrote that he did not intend the property to be sold: on the contrary, he wished the College to retain it in its portfolio for as long as possible: he would not place an absolute prohibition on sale, since he recognised that it might be in the College’s interests to sell it at some stage in the future: ‘However, my overriding wish is that the College should continue to survive and prosper and it is only if either of those wishes are in jeopardy that I would want you to consider selling.'

‘What Caius gave me was even more precious: a lifetime desire to read and learn.’ By 2015, it became apparent that John was not fit enough to travel to Cambridge for the ceremony in Chapel and so plans were made for the Master, Anne Lyon and James Howell (2009) to visit John in Hampstead to confer the honour of Gonville Fellow Benefactor on him. Sadly, John passed away on 26 November 2015, before that could take place – but his bequest and lifetime gifts to Caius total almost £4 million and rank him as one of the most generous benefactors in the College’s history – and so the names of John and Margaret Chumrow have been carved into the stone tribute to ‘Our Greatest Benefactors’ that stands inside the Great Gate. Their generosity will never be forgotten.

aius has presented Professor Stephen Hawking (1965) with a specially commissioned space-themed piece of music, composed by a Caian and performed by the College Choir, to mark his 75th birthday. Stephen, a Fellow of Caius for 52 years, welcomed the gift, saying the piece, inspired partly by NASA space recordings, ‘captured the vastness of space’ and helped him to understand what makes the universe exist. The cosmologist, who celebrated his 75th birthday earlier this year, heard the world première of the ethereal choral work, Beyond the Night Sky, at a celebratory dinner in Hall. To mark the milestone birthday, Caius commissioned composer Cheryl FrancesHoad (1998) a former music student, to write a piece to be performed by the Choir, taking the universe as its theme. Cheryl, who attended a specialist music school and never even took a science GCSE, threw herself into research, reading Stephen’s famous book, A Brief History of Time and recruiting a young Caian cosmologist, Dr Will Handley (2008) to help her to understand some of the complex ideas underlying the text. She also spoke to Stephen’s daughter, Lucy Hawking, to learn more about his preferred style of music. In search of lyrical inspiration, Cheryl found a short but beautiful children’s poem, Universe, by the American poet, Stephen Schnur. She interposed lines of the poem with questions about the nature of the universe taken from A Brief History of Time. The resulting four-minute composition, sung by the College’s world-renowned mixed Choir, under the direction of Dr Geoffrey

Music into Space

Webber (1989), is an ethereal work full of evocative harmonies and textures, including whistling and ‘shh’ sounds inspired by listening to NASA’s recordings of space, that seeks to convey a musical sense of wonder in the face of a seemingly infinite universe. Scientific thought, both ancient and cutting-edge, influences the music, with harmonies altering, first as if affected by gravitational waves and then soloists singing ‘Everything’ in rapid-fire, at many different speeds. The work was inspired by Newton’s Theory of Corpuscular Light. In the last section, Cheryl also hid two (only slightly altered) quotes from Happy Birthday, sung to Stephen’s words as a nod to his famous sense of humour. At the College première of the music, performed by the Choir during a dinner for students and Fellows, Stephen said the music ‘takes us all on a mental journey around the universe. I probably won’t need to take up my promised place on Richard Branson’s spaceship now.’ The physicist concluded: ‘It puts into lyrical form one of my quotes, “Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist.” Perhaps I can be forgiven for saying that tonight I am wondering no longer.’ In a short film telling the story of the birthday composition, Cheryl says receiving the commission was ‘an unbelievable honour’, which also sent her into a panic over her lack of advanced science education. She consulted Will Handley and read widely, finally moving away from scientific texts and coming upon the poem, Universe. ‘It talks about the farthest reaches of the mind and the last word is “Everything”. It just seemed

so immediate and touching, and I hope it conveys something of a sense of the wonder of the universe.’ Geoffrey Webber said he and the choir had greatly enjoyed learning and performing the birthday tribute to Professor Hawking: ‘It was a surprise to find myself auditioning the choir members to find the best whistlers, but Cheryl’s clever use of non-singing sounds at the start and end of the piece is crucial in setting its atmosphere, reminding me of the magical sound-file of the Huygens Probe descending through the atmosphere of Titan a few years ago. ‘Cheryl’s music is always highly original

and powerful, and in this piece she gives a wonderful chance for us all to contemplate the fundamental questions posed by Stephen in A Brief History of Time. ‘The circular refrain sung to the words “Sun, moon, stars” forms a perfect background to the questions sung by the trio of soloists, and it is brilliant that she manages to incorporate a fragment of Happy Birthday without disturbing the unique atmosphere of the composition.’ The Master, Professor Sir Alan Fersht (1962) said: ‘This beautiful piece of music, which almost gives a feeling of touching the stars, is a wonderful way for Caius to honour

...Always a Caian 15

It’s amazing for artists and composers to take inspiration from science and for scientists maybe to take inspiration from composers and artists. I’m really, really proud of having been asked to write this piece and yeah, it’d be great if it could provide inspiration to young composers in the future. I mean, there’s me, who doesn’t have any science background, and I’ve got to write a piece for Professor Hawking and my old College Choir. It’s just the best it could get, really!

one of its longest-serving Fellows. Stephen’s ideas have given the whole world a sense of the wonders of the universe, and Cheryl’s composition, sung by our marvellous Choir, offers a soundtrack to accompany his theories.’ Beyond the Night Sky received its public première on Friday 26 May 2017 on BBC Radio 3’s In Tune programme, in which Cheryl was also interviewed about the commission. Links to a short film about the creation of Beyond the Night Sky, and to the Caius Choir singing the composition, can be found on the College website.

Scaffolding towers have been erected over sections of Tree Court and the Waterhouse Building every summer vacation since 2012, but this year’s scaffolding over ‘R’ and ‘S’ staircases signals the completion of the massive restoration programme

wnership of magnificent, irreplaceable, Listed Buildings can be a huge privilege but it is also a virtually endless drain on the College’s limited resources. Perhaps the most alarming article we have ever published in Once a Caian... came out ten years ago. In our sixth issue, at Michaelmas 2007, Professor Paul Binski (1975) wrote enticingly: ‘Standing in Caius Court and looking toward and beyond the Gate of Honour, we can see all the important European architectural styles – the Tudor Renaissance of Dr Caius’ gates, the Romantic Classicism of our Library, not to mention the Roman grandness of the Senate House and the ultimate Gothic splendour of King’s. This superlative vista shows how Cambridge’s buildings all hang together with very little formal planning.’ So far, so good, but Paul went on to explain that funds were urgently needed to carry out repairs to the College’s own architectural treasures, which had been put on hold, while, first, the Cockerell Library was extensively renovated to house six centuries of books and manuscripts. Next, the spaces vacated by the old College Library were reequipped for new purposes and transformed into fine combination rooms. Then the Stephen Hawking Building was constructed on West Road. There was much to be proud of in the new facilities but still an alarming backlog of conservation work to be done on the older buildings. With graphic illustrations, Paul drew attention to broken and decaying carvings, crumbling plaster and stonework damaged by rusting iron in the Gate of Virtue, rotting cornices in Caius Court, stonework lost and damaged in ‘Alfred Waterhouse’s extrovert Tree Court’ and gargoyles ‘crumbling or actually tumbling down with near-lethal consequences’! It later transpired that the overall picture was even bleaker than Paul could have known. The Waterhouse Building, having served the College well for almost 140 years, was in need of almost total exterior

restoration, from top to toe. To add to the College’s woes, what some Caians affectionately refer to as HMP Harvey Court, itself a Grade 2* Listed Building but dating from 1960 and therefore almost a century more sprightly than Waterhouse, also required a £10 million makeover. Paul’s conclusion, both accurate and optimistic at the same time, was that the restoration would take several years of patient preparation and work and: ‘It will only be achieved with the help of benefaction!’ Understandably, benefactors tend to get more excited and enthusiastic about donating to brand new buildings than fixing the roofs and plumbing of existing ones. However, the Works Committee, chaired and convened by Dr Jimmy Altham (1965) and advised by Domestic Bursar Alan Jermy (2009), argued successfully for an increased annual allocation to this need, and we can now report a major success. Summer visitors to Caius since 2012 will have noticed vast stacks of scaffolding erected around various sections of the Waterhouse Building, both inside Tree Court and outside it, down Trinity Street and at the entrance to Senate House Passage. Innumerable photographic aspirations may have been thwarted, but a six-year programme of repairs and renovation is on the point of completion. Waterhouse’s roofs are no longer liable to cave in during a rainstorm, flooding the precious paperwork and possessions of the occupants of the upper storeys; his stone stairways, corrugated by the constant tread of students’ feet, are now level once more; his masonry, carvings and statuary have been lovingly restored to their original splendour; even his famous gargoyles have been re-carved, replaced and fixed more safely than before, with stainless steel stays instead of iron. Of course, there is more restoration work to be done. The price of maintenance, it seems, is that some part of Caius will always be a building site, but for those who remember how bleak the prospect seemed in 2007, the completion (for the time being) of work on Tree Court is a real cause for celebration and congratulations.

The newly restored roof over ‘T’ and ‘U’ staircases shows skilfully repaired stonework. Note the plain overflows instead of gargoyles on this section of the Waterhouse Building

Preserving our Heritage… From the left: The famous gargoyles which successive generations of Caius students have seen as strangely emblematic of the College are functional as well as decorative: they relieve the gutters of excess water in particularly heavy rain. After 140 years, many of the iron rods on which they were supported were rusting away, causing the gargoyles to ‘crumble and tumble’! Now, most of them have been replaced with newly carved gargoyles to match the originals and all have been re-fixed with stainless steel rods, set in plaster and covered with lead, to hold them in place

n our fundraising brochure, Caius to the Future, the Senior Bursar, Dr David Secher (1974) wrote of the College’s aspiration to more than double the Endowment, increasing it to at least £350 million. It seems an ambitious target – but the purpose of the Endowment is to support our activities in education and research in perpetuity and to secure Caius against any future political or financial turbulence. This is more than an insurance policy: it is the lifeblood of the College. The Old Courts, Harvey Court, the Harvey Road campus and so on are NOT included in the Endowment. All of our operational properties are intended for use, rather than profit (although some generate revenue), so they are considered separately from the Endowment. Naturally, if the College’s needs change, properties may move from operational use to the Endowment or vice versa. An example of this occurred recently, when student accommodation in Mill Road was converted from operational use, in response to feedback from the occupants, and is now being leased out to generate income for the Endowment. Despite the high cost of maintaining our historic buildings, the Endowment has flourished over recent

years, thanks to wise investments, careful cost control and handsome benefaction. To ensure its continuing prosperity, our Endowment Manager, Nicky Robert, works closely with the Investment Committee and David Secher. The property investment portfolio has been an important part of this success story. Having been at the helm of the College’s finances for the past five years, David believes it is time to develop an overall plan for the whole estate, both operational and endowment, to guide the College over the next thirty years or so. Accordingly, in March 2016, Council set up a Steering Group to review the College’s likely needs, in terms of buildings, over the period leading up to our 250 700th anniversary, and commissioned Allies & Morrison, 200 a firm of architects and planners, 150 to coordinate and guide the process of consultation, under the 100 82 78 69 72 57 65 49 umbrella title Caius2048. 50 The resulting report will go to 49 45 45 43 42 41 37 0 the General Meeting of Fellows for consideration in October 2017, so its recommendations are along the lines of what, in politics, Property would be called a Green Paper, a Growth in the Caius Endow document that is by no means This graph shows how the College prescriptive, but intended to relatively quickly after the Global and highlights the importance of t canvas opinion on a wide range of our recent strong growth.

condenses to four possible estate strategies. These range from maintaining the status quo to a radical redevelopment of the College’s substantial holdings in West Cambridge, where the University itself is currently expanding. That option would see all Caius students gathered from their present locations around Cambridge and congregated in two campuses, the Old Courts and ‘Caius West’. The properties no longer needed would be used to generate income to pay for the new facilities. Caius2048 makes no recommendations, merely presenting alternatives and analysing costs and benefits. Its underlying philosophy is that it is wiser to plan ahead than to risk being caught unprepared for whatever changes the future may bring.

Fortune is said to favour the brave. Every time we walk from Tree Court into Caius Court, if we look up at the carvings on the Gate of Virtue, we will see Dr Caius’ message to us: the twin stone figures of Fortuna carry, on the left, a palm and a laurel wreath, signifying worldly fame and repute, and on the right, a purse and a cornucopia (or horn of plenty) symbolising financial success. Both are attained literally through Virtue, which bears the date 1567, making it 450 years old.

Our College has made many bold decisions that have paid off handsomely. Edmund Gonville could have been accused of reckless idealism for founding a house of religious education in 1348: it was a miracle that it survived. For William Bateman to keep Gonville Hall separate and not fuse it with his own Trinity Hall was a foolhardy gesture of loyalty to his old friend. John Caius spent all his vast fortune in the remote hope of perpetuating his idiosyncratic beliefs and ideas about the fundamental nature and value of education for the young. What an investment that has proved! Subsequently, the Masters and Fellows who commissioned the Waterhouse Building, the Aston Webb and Murray Easton Buildings, Harvey Court, the Cockerell Library and the Stephen Hawking Building all went out on a limb, investing College funds on recognised present and future needs and risking the censure of more conservative colleagues. As ever, we need a balance between continuity and change. Caius2048 is intended to promote discussion among all sectors of the Caius community, Fellows, students, staff, alumni and friends of the College. Between us, we have considerable intellectual firepower to apply to the central question: what vision do we have for our College in the future?

Capt. Harold Ackroyd, VC Below: Haroldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medals: VC, MC, 14/15 Star, War Medal, Victory Medal

A True Hero by Christopher Ackroyd (1961)

Dr Harold Ackroyd (1896) VC, MC, MD is one of the most heroic figures in our long history. Remarkably, Harold won the Victoria Cross, not for taking lives, but for saving them. He was long thought to be the only Caian VC, but a perusal of the Biographical History (Vol. VI, p.118) by the College Archivist, James Cox, has revealed another:

Haroldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gravestone at Birr Cross Roads Cemetery, Zillebeke, Ypres, Belgium

In 1897, Brigadier-General Edmund Costello (1933) was a 23-year-old Lieutenant in the Indian Army when he won the VC for rescuing a wounded colleague under fire. After the First World War, he was Commandant of the Cambridge University OTC (1923-30) and Director of Military Studies (1924 -1933) and joined Caius when he retired.

Harold’s grandson, Christopher Ackroyd (1961), a consultant orthopaedic surgeon, has written this memoir of his grandfather to commemorate the centenary of his death in action on 11 August 1917.

t the start of the First World War, Britain had a professional army of 80,000, facing a German army of over 1,000,000 men. After initial reverses, Britain and France pushed the German forces back to eastern France and Belgium, to the stalemate that became the Western Front. The long, vicious war of attrition left several million men dead and countless more severely injured, both physically and mentally. In 1916, after the Battle of the Somme failed to achieve a breakthrough, Allied High Command started planning a second major campaign, further north on the Ypres salient. On 31 July 1917, the third battle of Ypres began four months of slaughter, all for the sake of taking a few square miles of Belgian territory. It resulted in over 245,000 British and Commonwealth deaths and serious injuries in what became known as Passchendaele. Harold Ackroyd was born on 18 July 1877 in Southport. He went to Shrewsbury School before coming up to Caius to read Medicine and qualified at Guy’s Hospital in 1904. After resident jobs at Guy’s, Birmingham General and Liverpool Northern Hospitals, we think he may have taken a post at the Strangeways Research Hospital in Cambridge, where he met his future wife, Mabel Smythe, who was the Matron. They married in 1908 and had three children. That same year, Harold won a threeyear BMA research scholarship and immersed himself in academic work, first in Professor WE Dixon’s laboratory in the Pharmacology Department, on the Downing Street site, and then in the Department of Agriculture’s newly-formed Institute for the Study of Animal Nutrition, where he collaborated on research with Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins, the first Professor of Biochemistry. Harold published six papers on purine metabolism, the last in 1916 with Sir Frederick. By early 1915, army recruitment had reached fever pitch. Harold was now 37, with no recent acute accident or medical experience, but he volunteered, joined the Royal Berkshire Regiment as Medical Officer

and sailed for France in July. After numerous actions in 1915, it was at the Battle of Delville Wood, in July 1916, early in the Somme campaign, that Harold first showed conspicuous courage. This ‘stooping, greyhaired, bespectacled man’ treated over a thousand casualties, British, South African and German. He received eleven commendations for bravery and was awarded the Military Cross. Exhausted by continuous bombardment and probably injured, Harold was sent home in August on sick leave, but within two weeks he was demanding a return to the Regiment. The Medical Board insisted on him taking six weeks’ leave. In a letter to his brother Edward, Harold described them as ‘an awful lot of old fossils’! He returned to the Regiment in December 1916 and they moved up to the town of Ypres to prepare for Passchendaele. In the action to secure Glencorse Wood, on 31 July and 1 August, Harold repeatedly rescued injured men in the front line on the Menin Road. At the end of the action, he received 23 separate commendations for bravery, which resulted in the award of the Victoria Cross. Sadly, ten days later, when Harold was attending to casualties in a shell hole in Jargon trench in no-mans-land, he was shot in the head by a German sniper and died instantly. He was buried at Birr Cross Roads Cemetery near Ypres. The VC was gazetted on 6 September and at an investiture outside Buckingham Palace on 19 September, King George V bestowed Harold’s medals on his widow Mabel and their five-year-old, eldest son Stephen Ackroyd (1930). Harold’s death had a devastating effect on Mabel and the family. She remained in mourning for the rest of her life. The final piece of the story is the fate of the medals. In 1947, Stephen inherited them from his mother. When he died in 1963, ownership passed to his brother, Anthony Ackroyd (1933), who was my father. He, in turn, bequeathed them to me in 1988. The medals had actually been on loan to the RAMC since 1956, but I took possession of them and put them on display in my consulting rooms in Bristol. By 2003 they had risen considerably in value and, after much debate within the family, we decided to sell them to an anonymous purchaser and donate the proceeds to Caius to fund a fouryear Medical Scholarship and an annual Medical Lecture. So far, fourteen Harold Ackroyd Scholars have been elected, the most recent being Sahib Sarbjit Singh (2016). Thirteen lectures have been given by distinguished medical scientists, including six Nobel Prize winners. In 2006 Lord Ashcroft revealed in his book, Victoria Cross Heroes, that Harold’s

medals were part of the Ashcroft Trust collection and would be exhibited in a new gallery at the Imperial War Museum. In November 2010, the Princess Royal opened the Lord Ashcroft Gallery and graciously accepted a posy of lilies of the valley from Harold’s six-year-old great-greatgranddaughter, Mia Pearlman. Our family hope the Scholarships will continue in perpetuity and that Harold’s extraordinary story will be a lasting example and an inspiring legacy to the Caius medical students of the future.

Harold’s Victoria Cross citation ‘For most conspicuous bravery. During recent operations Captain Ackroyd displayed the greatest gallantry and devotion to duty. Utterly regardless of danger, he worked continuously for many hours up and down and in front of the line tending the wounded and saving the lives of officers and men. In doing so he had to move across the open under heavy machinegun, rifle and shell fire. On another occasion, he went some way in front of our advanced line and brought in a wounded man under continuous sniping and machine-gun fire. His heroism was the means of saving many lives, and provided a magnificent example of courage, cheerfulness and determination to the fighting men in whose midst he was carrying out his splendid work. This gallant officer has since been killed in action.’ The London Gazette, 6 September 1917

rofessor Patricia Crone (1990) was devoted to Caius and to the Institute for Advanced Study, the independent research centre in Princeton, New Jersey, where she spent the last eighteen years of her life. She was also passionately dedicated to the ideal of an academic life and the reality of her own research. Her chosen subject, the origins and early history of the Islamic world, seemed obscure when she embarked on it but came to have increasing relevance to the modern world, as the major political events of her lifetime unfolded. A brilliant linguist, she challenged conventional Muslim views on the original relationship of Islam to Judaism, Christianity and other religious philosophies and traditions. I first met her at a reception in the Master’s Lodge in 2005, when she was on a brief return visit to Cambridge to deliver the Birkbeck Lectures on Ecclesiastical History. She told me how happy she was to be back at Caius, where she had spent some of the happiest years of her life. She had been a Tutor and Director of Studies in Oriental Studies for seven years, until 1997, when she was offered and accepted the prestigious Mellon Chair in Islamic History at the Institute for Advanced Study. She said she had created a niche for herself in America but it didn’t provide the total immersion in intellectual life and the collegiality she had enjoyed at Caius.

of the Michaelmas Term, she wrote to say she had written a will leaving the bulk of her estate to Caius. She was unsure of the amount, but it included a house that she thought might be worth about £600,000. Patricia had an exceptionally strong life force and relentless energy. I didn’t expect to see her legacy pledge fulfilled for a very long time, if ever. But she was also an inveterate smoker. As Professor David Abulafia (1974) wrote, in a warmly affectionate obituary in the latest issue of The Caian (2014 -15): ‘Perhaps... tobacco was in her blood, as her father Thomas was chief executive of the Scandinavian Tobacco Company.’ It still seems terribly sad that the lung cancer it caused should have robbed her of so many years of the study that she found utterly fulfilling. I won’t attempt to summarise Patricia’s

honour. I hope you find somebody who can do the College proud. With all good wishes, Patricia As it turned out, Patricia’s bequest to Caius has amounted to almost £3 million and her name is now carved in stone on the Benefactors’ Wall. She would give a wry smile at that honour, but she would be absolutely delighted by the way the College Council has apportioned her bequest. The will of Professor Stanley Cook (1891) dated 1947, set up a fund to support the S A Cook Bye-Fellowship in a wide range of studies, including the Bible, Ancient Eastern Languages and Literature, Comparative Religion, Philosophy, Law, Anthropology and Sociology. William Frend (1952) was the first S A Cook Bye-Fellow and Dr Carly Crouch will become the nineteenth in January 2018. The first request of Patricia’s will was to bring the Cook Fund up to ‘an amount which, in the opinion of the College, will ensure that there is always a Cook Fellow receiving the Fund, without interruption.’ Her second request ‘without imposing any obligation on the College’ was to add to the potential range of subjects for study ‘The History and Social Anthropology of Asian Especially Near and Middle Eastern Societies Before the Advent of Industry’. She devised any balance to the Master and Fellows for ‘general use and purposes’. Council approved increasing the Cook Fund to enable it to appoint Bye-Fellows in

Always a Caian by Mick Le Moignan (2004)

In September 2006, Patricia came to a very convivial Caius reception in New York City, at the Fifth Avenue apartment of Professor Peter Walker (1960) and his wife, Wuliang. It was the first opportunity for US Caians to meet the new Master, Sir Christopher Hum (2005). Bill Packer (1949) flew over specially to tell everyone it was about time the Caius Boat Club had better facilities! Later, I called in to see Patricia at her home in Princeton and she also came to a smaller Caian dinner in nearby Philadelphia, hosted by James Hill (2009). Bright and vivacious, she charmed everyone she met at both events. She said she was glad Caius was now taking fundraising seriously, as American universities had done for many years. Soon after we returned to Cambridge for the start

life and work here, as David has covered it so well in our sister publication. One thing he omitted to mention there is that he once wrote to invite her to consider standing for the Mastership. Her reply speaks volumes about her character: Dear David, It touches me deeply that there are still people in the College who remember me and would like me back, and I still miss England in general and Cambridge in particular. But there is no way round the fact that I was not cut out to be the master/ mistress of a college, all I really hanker for is non-stop research, it is getting worse with age, not better! So much as my heart leaps at the idea of going back to Caius, and in so prestigious a position too, I have to say, no, sorry, that position is not for me. But many thanks for asking, even that was a great

perpetuity and chose to set up a further, very important fund that will commemorate Patricia’s own name. One of the yardsticks by which the Caius Fellowship judges itself is the number and calibre of Research Fellows appointed each year (usually four). These are usually young, stellar academics at the start of their careers and the competition for appointment is extremely keen. Earlier this century, shortage of funds meant that, for a while, the College could only appoint two or three Research Fellows each year. Now, thanks to the new fund, there will always be a Patricia Crone Research Fellow at Caius. S/he will be following in the footsteps of a slightly built Danish woman who was a most engaging person, an intellectual giant and an incredibly loyal friend to this College.

24 Once a Caian... William Tapp also left the College what is probably our most unusual bequest, the use in perpetuity of ten seats in the finest Box in the Grand Tier at the Royal Albert Hall. Members of the Court of Benefactors can reserve the Box for performances year-round and Fellows and students in residence share the majority of tickets for the annual Prom season. The construction of the Albert Hall was funded by public subscription. The original £1,000 paid by Tapp’s father or grandfather 150 years ago on 8 April 1867 has probably provided in excess of 240,000 seats for performances, or one old penny per seat, with any number still to come. The Caius Box holds twelve seats, but the College only has rights to ten of them. Periodically, the managers of the Albert Hall ask if we would like to purchase the two remaining seats, but we have not yet done so.

dmission to Caius at all levels of study is strictly on merit, so far as it can be assessed. No fear, no favours. The College’s aim is that no student or researcher who reaches the high academic standard required shall be prevented from attending simply because s/he cannot afford it. Achieving this deeply held ambition requires a complex and flexible system of bursaries and scholarships. There are many different sources of funding, apart from the UK government-owned Student Loans Company. Prospective students, particularly postgraduates, who are proactive about searching for support generally fare much better than those who sit and wait for sponsors to seek them out. The distinction between the two awards is that scholarships are given on merit and bursaries are based on need. In either case, it is wise to apply as soon as possible, not because funds are awarded on a ‘first come, first served’ basis (they aren’t) but because of the diversity of opportunities to be explored. Caius is fortunate to have a substantial number of bursary funds to distribute, notably one left to the College in 1936 by W M Tapp (1877), who asked that half of his £200,000 bequest should be devoted to the study of Law and half to other subjects. Having been held in the College’s Endowment for 80 years, the Tapp Trust now holds in excess of £12 million. In the last academic year, it provided support to the tune of £503,000 and is central to the College’s aim to attract top students. The Master-elect, Dr Pippa Rogerson (1986), a

Sally Yates, in blue in the centre of this picture, always the life and soul of the May Week Party, with a cheerful crowd of benefactors, student Telephone Campaign callers and recipients of Bauer Bursaries

Newnhamite, came to Caius to do her PhD in response to an offer of support from the Tapp Trust. (See pp 2-3) Typically, prospective postgraduate students are asked to furnish the College with a financial guarantee, certifying their ability to cover all the costs of what may be a three or four-year course. So that a place can be confirmed, Caius often promises to support students with a bursary if they cannot find alternative funding for themselves. If the student receives an offer of sponsorship from industry or one of the research councils, the Caius bursary funds can then be made available for another student. Such creative use of our resources means that the same pot of money is sometimes used to provide effective support for two or more students, instead of one. The consequent rapid changes in the names of likely recipients can be confusing for benefactors. Sally Yates, who was a close friend of Lord Peter Bauer (1934) and executor to his estate, only learned late in the Summer Term precisely which bursary recipients she would be meeting at the annual May Week Party, because there were frequently one or more who secured alternative funding late in the year, allowing the Bauer Fund to help other students. Sally was a loyal and enthusiastic supporter of Caius who died suddenly in January 2017. She will be greatly missed. Her friend, Peter Bauer, a Hungarian refugee from Nazi Germany, was a senior economic adviser to Margaret Thatcher. He left the College £100,000 in 2002 and attached an unprecedented ‘precatory wish’ to his will, asking that the gift should NOT be added to the Endowment, but that the interest and

capital should be ‘spent down’ within ten years. He was careful not to tie the College’s hands completely, in case future changes in legislation should make the funds unusable: he prefaced the bequest with words which have been copied by Caian legators many times since: ‘Without imposing any binding trust or obligation on the College, I wish...’ Peter Bauer understood that if his gift was invested as part of the Endowment, it would increase, so as to maintain its 2002 value in real terms, and would allow the College to draw down an appropriate amount each year to spend on bursaries and scholarships in perpetuity. He chose not to do that, but to give immediate assistance to more students over a shorter period. The interest earned by the fund was added to it and by the time it was exhausted, £176,000 of bursary support had been provided. For Sally Yates, what began as an act of duty to her friend, visiting Caius each summer to meet and congratulate the bursary recipients, soon became a personal pleasure. When the original fund ran out, she generously made a further gift of £100,000 on her own behalf, so that the scholarships and bursaries could continue. She made one change: Peter Bauer had specified that the awards should be named to commemorate two of his close friends, the legendary biologist and statistician, R A Fisher (1909) and Richard Goode (1934), who lost his life as an RAF pilot in World War Two; Sally chose to rename the awards formally as the Bauer Bursaries in honour of Peter. Perhaps, in ten or so years’ time, when the second phase of funding is spent down, someone will choose to remember Sally’s generosity in the same way. Bursaries can change lives for the donors

as well as the recipients. In 2009, Sally was introduced to Mark Austin (2004) who had just been enabled to complete a one-year M.Phil in European Literature and Culture, thanks to a substantial bursary from the Bauer Fund. Mark is now a conductor working in opera and orchestral repertoire and Artistic Director of the Faust Chamber Orchestra, which performs regularly at venues including Kings Place and LSO St Luke’s. He recently contributed a chapter to a new publication, Music in Goethe’s Faust, edited by Lorraine Byrne Bodley, based on the research he completed at Caius. Only last September, Mark arranged a special concert in London to commemorate Sally’s seventieth birthday. He remembers her with great affection: ‘I first met Sally at Caius. In the sunshine of the Master’s Garden I described to her my research on Goethe and how his relationship with music influenced his writing, particularly his novel Elective Affinities. Sally was very interested and made me promise to tell her more at a later date. We soon developed a close relationship and I learned about the late Lord Bauer, from whose Bursary I had benefited. We found we had a lot in common despite our age differences! She became a devoted supporter of my fledgling musical career as a conductor and my Faust Chamber Orchestra in particular. ‘The Bauer Bursary enabled me to study European culture in a way that has proved invaluable for my work as an opera conductor, where familiarity with languages and historical contexts is essential. I am equally grateful for the chance to have met Sally, an extraordinary lady, whose zest for life, love of culture and sense of fun have been very inspiring. I am very glad to have enriched her life in a small way with my music-making.’

Fast Fellows in Engineering Hot on the heels of the Rolls-Royce jet engine research of Professor Rob Miller (2001) (pages 6-7) comes a sixtieth birthday tribute from McLaren to Professor MC Smith (1990) for keeping their cars up to speed. McLaren sent their £250,000 supercar, the 720S, to Caius for the day, to coincide with a special sixtieth birthday symposium on Malcolm’s work, arranged by the Department of Engineering and hosted by the College. As Professor of Control Engineering and a McLaren consultant for the past 30 years, he helped to develop the car’s semi-active suspension system, designing an algorithm to maintain the optimum balance between comfort and handling. The new car has a top speed of 217 mph but, somewhat to Malcolm’s relief, heavy traffic prevented them reaching it on a test drive around Cambridge. A modest, self-deprecating man with exceptional abilities, Malcolm appreciated the honour, saying ‘What’s really nice is that McLaren has recognised an academic contribution. Companies don’t always do that.’

Launch of the Lady Marilyn Lucy Ward

For many, punting is an indispensable part of summer in Cambridge and by the start of the year, the Development Office had received enough donations for this purpose to commission a new Caius punt, which has been named Lady Marilyn, in honour of the Master’s wife. Launching the craft, Dr Jimmy Altham (1965), who has added Keeper of Punts to his onerous duties as Senior Treasurer of the Boat Club, said he was delighted to pay tribute to the Master’s wife for her considerable contribution to life at Caius over the past five years: ‘Marilyn has been a tower of exemplary support for the Master and... a great member of the College.’ The Boatman, Simon Goodbrand, manned the pole to take the Master and Lady Fersht on the Lady Marilyn’s official maiden voyage.

A Dog’s Life

Dog in treadmill

James Biggart (1982) writes: I recently visited 1, Royal Crescent, a well imagined interior of a Georgian house in Bath, now owned by the Bath Preservation Trust. In the basement kitchen, there is a cooking spit driven by a treadmill, consisting of a wheel above the hearth, into which a small dog was supposedly placed (giving rise to the expression ‘dog tired’). The brochure claimed the dog treadmill had been invented by the famous Dr Caius of Cambridge. The room guide overheard my sceptical remarks to my teenage son and severely rebuked me, saying it was all true, it was written in a book and Dr Caius had made so much money from his invention that he had founded a college! Alas, I am unable to ask Christopher Brooke (1945) about this story and can find no reference to it in his History of Gonville & Caius College. However, a search of the internet reveals that Dr Caius wrote A Treatise on English Dogges in Latin in 1570, translated by Abraham Fleming in 1576 and republished by Vintage Dog Books as recently as 2005 ©Read Books. Dr Caius refers to ‘Turnspete’ dogs working in kitchens but does not claim the invention as his own.

Thirty Years On George Budden

One of the penalties of success is that, after a while, only gold medals are good enough. Both Caius First VIIIs, Men’s and Women’s, finished in the bronze medal position in the May Bumps this year. They will be ideally placed for a couple of bumps in the right direction next year.

A label that may well last longer than the contents

George Budden

Meanwhile, the victorious The Caius Men’s First VIII powering Men’s crew of 1987, the their way to the Headship in the first to win the Headship May Bumps of 1987 for Caius for 143 years, Left: Stroke of the victorious came back earlier this 1987 Caius Men’s First VIII, year to recapture the Adam Brooks (1984) rapture and inspire savouring the sweet taste of victory and the even sweeter their successors. George thought of not having to do Budden (1984), who was any more early morning training Captain of Boats in the Photo: James Irvine (1985) glory year, was quick to point out that ‘the efforts of the 1986 crew were absolutely pivotal in getting to the Headship’, so both crews were invited to the reunion. Sadly, Nick Taffinder (1983) has passed away, Steve Kirkpatrick (1983) was at Ladies’ Henley and Adrian Johnson (1984) was stranded on the West Coast of the USA, but otherwise all oarsmen and both coxes, John O’Conor (1982) and Catherine Lister (1985) attended, The 1986/87 reunion boat reaching the tranquil waters in front of the new Caius Boathouse in 2017 together with the Senior Treasurer of the time, Professor Simon Maddrell (1964) and Peter English (1975), one of the four coaches, with Tony Baker, Peter Gray (1956) and Martin Blakemore.

At the Caius Club Dinner in College, James Howell (2009), our Director of Development, was startled by a loud exclamation of surprise and delight. Caius Club events are famous for their conviviality, so such emanations are commonplace, but this one was loud enough to draw attention. The College Port was just starting to circulate when Katherine Scarfe Becket (1995) shrieked: ‘Oh my God! I designed that!’ No, Reader, it was not the port speaking: it transpired that, way back in the last century, Katherine had won a competition to redesign the label for the Caius Port. She didn’t expect to see it still adorning bottles of Caius Port in 2016, but on reflection and after a couple of glasses of the blushful Hippocrene, she concluded that the continued use was the sincerest of compliments. James Howell

‘The remarkable thing,’ said George, ‘was that we all remembered quite different things, and it was great fun putting together the pieces of the jigsaw – and trying to work out which parts we had all forgotten. Above all, we were amazed to discover that, despite our different levels of fitness, we could still row a boat!’

Vintage Port Label

Inspired by the sight of the 1967 Eton crew, who rowed over the course at Henley in 2017, the Caius crews have decided to try and organise a similar get-together every five years, and see how long they can keep going. They paid warm tribute to the current CBC members, who could not have done more to make them feel welcome. Their pioneering achievement deserves no less. George Budden
