FROM THE PRINCIPAL Professor Geoffrey Ward

6 ANNUAL REVIEW COLLEGE NEWS

When Samuel Beckett’s best-known play Waiting for Godot premiered in Paris in 1953, one theatre critic observed that this was a two act play in which “nothing happens – twice”. As my only foray into theatre was as co-director of a Cambridge student production of Godot, albeit more decades ago than I care to remember, I have a great affection for Beckett’s crepuscular but moving meditation on the human condition.

N

onetheless I have had moments during the last year – long Beckettian moments – when I have asked myself silently if building work within and around the College would ever come to completion. Detailed planning meetings on the new Dining Hall have been taking place for three years; the always about-to-be-built yet still invisible Hall is my Godot. Meanwhile work on what we are calling North Wing has made Paupers’ Walk

live up to its name for what seems like an age, as incoming wind, rain and dust all leave their mark but remind us only of Estragon’s summary of life: “In the meantime, nothing happens”. And so last year was a year of waiting.

In reality, of course, the time that is taken to put up a building that will last is the time that is needed. I am sure that a year hence I will be writing about the opening of North Wing in this column, and reporting on the varied uses that have been found for the new auditorium, on the activities of the new visitors and organisations that have used the accommodation, on the student performances that have begun life in the light and spacious music practice rooms. Moreover, although we need the new buildings, students’ and Fellows’ lives and work take place in those spaces, but are not confined by them. The College is in one sense a bare stage, waiting for something to happen. In a deeper and more important sense it is the living, breathing and thinking community of students and scholars who tread the boards of that stage that are the real Homerton.

Homerton Prizewinners 2018–19

With the students in the forefront of our minds, we launched Homerton Changemakers in May Week, 2019. Changemakers is based on a new assumption that would for a long time would have met strong resistance in collegiate Cambridge. It assumes that although the scholarly work towards a degree is and always will be the core of the student experience, a degree is no longer enough. If our students are going to make the transition from university to the world of work, and do so confidently and successfully, they will need to acquire resilience, empathy, flexibility and other tools of personality that have not been expressly a part of their work in the library, laboratory or lecture hall. Changemakers will enable them to find those life-skills, thereby helping themselves and helping society to achieve shared goals.

In one way startlingly new, this extra dimension speaks to the essence of what a Cambridge College can be, is, and always was. The holistic dimension that turns an academic education into an education for life is one that only Cambridge (and the other place whose name always escapes

me) can supply. And dare I say it, Homerton in particular, with its real-world ethos, its tradition of training for the professions in order to serve society’s needs, is particularly well-placed to do that. The newest and largest College in Cambridge is also the one most focussed on the challenges of inclusiveness and progressive freethinking. For the student community I have lived among over the last year, Godot has long been and gone. Far from waiting for one thing, they lead multi-tasking lives that encompass a startling variety of changemaking. The student who took an MPhil in Education and asked me for a reference recently also runs an eco-friendly and sustainable clothing company. The student who was absent from College at exactly this time last year needed no permission from College for her absence. She was speaking at the United Nations in New York. Cambridge is a great university for research, but our students are what Homerton is here for. Not so much a play where nothing happens (twice) but a community and crucible for uniquely talented individuals where no thing happens twice in quite the same way n

ast year we announced the wonderful new Homerton Changemakers programme, led by Dr Alison Wood. Now the programme is well underway, with an inspiring launch event in May Week 2019, and then our first summer school in late September. The summer school greatly exceeded expectations, with 50 student participants, including both undergraduates and postgrads, and an outstanding team of staff. The programme included a field trip to the Peterborough Recycling Centre – a great hit! The participants are agitating for another follow up mini-residential. One of my favourite quotes was “I feel I’ve been empowered on this programme to continue my journey in life with a Changemaker mindset. I feel I’ve acquired a Changemaker pair of glasses”.

The Changemakers Taster Day

In October we welcomed the largest number of new starters we have ever had – 191 new undergraduates, as well as a large number of PGCE, Masters and PhD students – and we are running absolutely at capacity. Of the undergraduates, 138 are from the UK, 15 are from the European Union, and about 20% of the total are from outside the EU. From next year, we will be among only 10 Colleges to offer every undergraduate subject the University offers – including Veterinary Medicine and Architecture. Medicine, added a few years ago, has been a huge success, and our first medical students are now in clinical training.

Collectively the Cambridge Colleges put in a huge effort to make sure that bright students from every sort of background consider Cambridge as an option. We spread our message through the area links scheme, visits by admissions tutors and the student liaison officers, student volunteers, summer schools and open days.

The Changemakers Summer School

There are a number of ‘flags’ used to assess applications from students who may have come from disadvantaged backgrounds, based on factors such as socio-economic status, school profile, and other indicators such as having been in care. At Homerton we are proud of having one of the

most diverse student populations in Cambridge.

Homerton has also been active in working with Target Oxbridge to encourage and support black students to aspire to top universities.

The University and Colleges are working hard in looking for ways to address inequality – both in admissions and in subsequent attainment. In 2019, Cambridge entered the UCAS Adjustment process for the first time. This means that on A level results day, students who have exceeded the grades they need for their firm university offer can try to ‘trade up’ to a university course with more stringent requirements. We were able to take almost 70 Adjustment students into the University, eight of whom we welcomed to Homerton. This is a very exciting development that opens up last-minute opportunities for applicants who may have been underestimated by their schools, or who for some reason did not shine at the interview stage.

We consider all Homerton students to be ‘our team’ and we will always do everything we can to support them and help them to succeed (within the rules of the University of course!) n

omerton is a wonderful environment in which to study and work.

Our staff work tirelessly to provide surroundings and services which help our students not only to study and achieve academically but importantly to be able to relax, make friends and participate in the thousands of activities open to them at Cambridge.

As I reported last year, the Griffin bar opened at the beginning of the academic year and proved a popular place to study during the day and relax at night, with the outdoor seating being

particularly well used. We have broken ground on the sports pitch developments at St Mary’s School sports grounds to provide floodlit artificial pitches for hockey, rugby, lacrosse and football, as well as netball and tennis courts. These will be available from next academic year with the pavilion to follow in 2021. I am hoping that future student versus alumni matches can take place there.

In all developments sustainability is key. Not only do we build for the long term but we aim to reduce our ongoing carbon footprint and improve biodiversity – not always easy on an already biodiverse campus. The lighting for the sports fields has been designed to minimise interference

We have installed swift boxes in the North Wing development currently under construction and this summer saw the installation of 12 150-metre ground source heat pumps (GSHPs) to heat and cool North Wing. Now under the lawn, you would not know they are there!

In January 2020 construction begins for the new Dining Hall, servery, kitchens and buttery.

This building has a testing list of bespoke environmental targets from improving the working conditions of the catering staff to an allelectric kitchen including its own array of GSHPs. We have also started planning for the final phase of the 10-year Estates Strategy which will see a much needed new Porters’ Lodge and the removal of the kitchens behind the Great Hall to

The accounts for the financial year to 30 June 2019 were approved by the Governing Body on 6 December. Having unwound our investment in the housing development, Homerton Gardens, income and expenditure now reflects a more “business as usual” picture. We are participating in a two-year top-up scheme to the Cambridge Bursary Scheme (CBS), the total paid to our students in FY19 being £461,000. The cost of the CBS is shared across Colleges and the cost to Homerton was £262,000. It is hoped that the pilot will result in an enhanced CBS scheme in the next year or so which will require additional funding.

t was a pleasure, but no surprise, to return after my maternity leave to a happy and well cared-for library. My thanks must go to Rosemary Austin (Deputy Librarian) for taking the reins whilst I was away enjoying some quality time with my son, Aelfric. I am also extremely grateful to the rest of the library team for their continued efforts, and to Jenna Lawrence and Sarah Burton who were invaluable whilst working secondments with us from the University Library and Judge Business School respectively.

Whilst I only returned in time to see the students revising and sitting exams, the library team have been busy all year supporting them through both the formal sessions of study skills offered, and in many more ad hoc ways at the enquiry desk. We have also been preparing for 2019–20’s new students, and our first cohort of

Cavendish College Rowing Cups

vets in particular. A lot of work has been done to ensure the library is stocked for their needs, including the purchase of a mounted plastic dog skeleton I have nicknamed ‘Fido’. He will mostly reside in the Director of Studies’ office and I sincerely hope that we have correctly attached his legs and tail. It proved a slight challenge with no instructions and only very passing anatomical knowledge of pets between us!

Thanks to the generosity of Dr Zoe Jaques, Rosemary Austin and I were invited to participate in an AHRC-funded project led by Zoe and Dr Eugene Giddens of Anglia Ruskin University. The project, entitled “Digital Collections in Children’s Literature: Distance Reading, Scholarship, Community”, has brought together researchers, PhD students and librarians from Cambridge and the University of Florida, home to the prestigious Baldwin Library of children’s literature, to discuss issues around digital strategies, digitisation, cataloguing and use of the collections.

In a series of four meetings, the final of which is due after the end of Michaelmas term, we have looked at areas such as widening access to excluded groups, trigger warnings and other concerns around controversial material (for instance golliwogs), the potential for crowdsourcing and best practice around creating digital collections. These have been extremely fruitful conversations, allowing us to think about our collection in different ways, and form some ambitions for the future.

The second meeting was held at Homerton, where the research team were treated to an exhibition specially curated for them by Rosemary Austin, as well as a dinner in College. I was extremely lucky to attend the third meeting in Gainesville, Florida and, whilst they could not quite rival our dining experience, I was able to view the

Homerton’s rare books. It is hoped that these will be available online sometime in 2020.

It has also been a busy year in the Archive, with many visitors and researchers, as well as new acquisitions to attend to. One particular highlight has been the return of two rowing cups to their former home, all thanks to eagle-eyed eBay browsing! The cups date from 1883 and 1884 when Cavendish College occupied the site.

We have also been lucky enough to be able to flesh out some history behind the rowers listed. Joseph Duncan Dathan (from the 1884 trophy) attended Cavendish College before studying for the ministry at Ridley Hall. He became a Royal Navy chaplain and was latterly Chaplain to the Marine Barracks, Chatham, until his death in January 1918. He is the only war casualty of Cavendish College listed in the University War List.

The 1883 trophy lists Frederick Thomas Gardner. He also entered the clergy following further study at Peterhouse. However, from 1893–1916 he conducted a series of expeditions across the Arctic with a Dr J. H. Salter. One such expedition, in a 52 ft. sailing boat, ended in shipwreck and rescue by an American whaler. Clearly this wasn’t enough adventure as he later served on Lord Morton’s yacht mine-sweeping off the Scottish coast during the Great War. The Library and Archive are extremely grateful for all the donations received this year. They bring a great deal of enjoyment, excitement and colour to our collections! n

It was extremely fortuitous, in the context of the project, that the library was gifted a generous sum by Mrs Heather Jemson (CertEd 1952) to be used on the children’s books. With College Council’s permission, the money has been allocated to begin the digitisation of a selection of

Dame Leah Manning

ANNUAL REVIEW COLLEGE NEWS

Homerton joined forces with Cambridge Past, Present and Future on Saturday 28 September to unveil a blue plaque to Dame Leah Manning, whose career of education and activism began at the College.

Born in 1886, Leah Manning trained as a teacher at Homerton in the 1900s, during which time she also became politically active, joining the Labour Party and the Fabian Society. From 1908 she focused on improving the education, health and welfare of children at the New Street Ragged School, where she taught for 10 years. The site of the school, where the plaque is now displayed, now forms part of Anglia Ruskin University.

Manning was elected as MP for Epping in 1945, becoming heavily involved in policy-making for educational reform, social reconstruction and international peace. She was a lifelong champion of causes affecting women and children, advocating for women’s rights, birth control and equal pay.

Internationally, Manning’s most lasting legacy is her effort to secure the evacuation to Britain of 4,000 children from Bilbao to Britain during the Spanish Civil War in 1937, many of whom came to Cambridge.

The plaque was unveiled by Manning’s friend Stan Newens, who succeeded her as the Labour MP for Epping and Harlow. Stan charmed and amused the audience at the event with anecdotes from his encounters with

her. He remembered her enormous energy and commitment to the people of Harlow, her interest in everyone she met, and her great sense of humour.

Also speaking at the unveiling, Homerton’s own Dr Peter Cunningham said that her career stood as a model for current students. “They are actively encouraged to see themselves as ‘Changemakers’, to apply their privileged learning, their knowledge and skills in many fields, to the betterment of humanity as Leah Manning did.”

The Cambridge Blue Plaque Scheme is run by local charity Cambridge Past, Present and Future.

James Littlewood, Chief Executive of the charity said at the unveiling: “The Blue Plaque scheme aims to commemorate people and events that have made a significant impact on Cambridge, the UK or, indeed, the world. In 2018 we were very pleased to receive a nomination from Homerton College proposing a plaque to commemorate Leah Manning, one of their alumni. Bringing these plaques to fruition takes a lot more work than you might imagine, and we are very grateful to the volunteers on the blue plaque committee, Anglia Ruskin University and Homerton College.

This will be the 35th blue plaque and is in the illustrious company of Oliver Cromwell, Sir Jack Hobbs, Millicent Fawcett, the discovery of DNA and Alan Turing.”

Building a culture of poetry How many poems do you know by heart? What are your earliest memories of poetry? What emotional resonance does poetry have for you?

Alumni discuss poetry with Emeritus Fellow David Whitley

15 ANNUAL REVIEW COLLEGE NEWS

These were some of the questions explored by alumni, in a lively conversation led by Emeritus Fellow David Whitley, as part of September’s Alumni Reunion Weekend.

Participants discussed the poems and rhymes they remembered being shared with them as children, and talked about the ways in which poetry can be a trigger for other memories, or a source of support.

Between 2014 and 2016 David was principal investigator on The Poetry and Memory Project, which looked into the distinctive value of memorised poetry, and the relationship between memorisation and understanding.

With two Poets Laureate (Dame Carol Ann Duffy and Sir Andrew Motion) as Honorary Fellows, and a poet and specialist in poetry as Principal, Homerton is well placed to ensure that poetry is taken seriously as an interest beyond the borders of academic study. We are proud to be associated with Poetry by Heart, a poetry recitation competition for schools, and excited by the opportunity to help develop a love of poetry in the next generation Thanks to the generosity of Dr Norman Bardsley, who has chosen to commemorate his late wife, Jackie, through a gift to Homerton in her name, the College will soon be able to appoint a Poet in Residence.

Through this new role, we hope to be able to foster a growing culture of poetry at Homerton.

The Philippa Pearce Lecture

16 ANNUAL REVIEW COLLEGE NEWS

It was the kind of bright, spring afternoon when anything seems possible, as excited children’s literature enthusiasts filled the Homerton auditorium.

Those lucky enough to attend the twelfth annual Philippa Pearce Lecture were treated to an engaging and illuminating talk by former Children’s Laureate, Jacqueline Wilson, entitled “Be Careful What You Wish For!”. Like her award-winning books, Jacqueline’s words were sharply perceptive, sweetly endearing and indicative of a writer who has not lost her ability to see the world through a child’s eyes.

She began by recalling an authors’ conference she’d attended very early in her career. Slightly nervous and not knowing anyone else, she was grateful to be befriended at lunch by a woman who mentioned, in a very modest way, that she’d written “a book about a garden”. Only afterwards did Jacqueline realise that her new acquaintance was none other than Philippa Pearce, and the book, Tom’s Midnight Garden. She was bowled over by the warmth, humility and genuine interest this celebrated author had shown to “a young beginner”.

Jacqueline went on to reflect on some of her own childhood reading experiences. She recalled staying with her grandparents and finding nothing to read except an old Maria Edgeworth book which included The Purple Jar. In this short story, Rosamond’s desire to own one of the enchanting purple vessels she sees in a chemist’s shop leads her mother to teach her a rather painful lesson about making prudent choices. Jacqueline explained that, whilst she didn’t mind “traditional ‘be careful what you wish for’ tales as such”, she has always “hated this lofty adult viewpoint in which adults always know best.” For her, writing for children is driven by the desire to capture a child’s point of view: their worries, woes and wishes.

Jacqueline then considered various literary attempts to capture that world in general and the wished-for in particular. These included E. Nesbit’s Five Children and It – the inspiration for her own,

updated version, Four Children and It. Eventually she lighted on Philippa Pearce’s A Dog So Small as a shining example of a ‘Be Careful What You Wish For!’ narrative. This story of a boy who wishes for, imagines and ultimately receives a dog of his own artfully compels readers to consider “the joys – and the dangers – of living totally in the imagination” without ever becoming patronising or dismissive of the intense emotions children feel and the lessons they learn. (Lessons that many adults are still learning, whether or not they choose to admit it.)

Philippa Pearce, Jacqueline suggested, was as wise as the granny in the book who says, “People get their heart’s desire, and then they must learn how to live with it”.

Wishing has evidently been a powerful force in Jacqueline’s own life. She told us how, as a little girl daydreaming about her heart’s desire of being a writer, she imagined not only writing – but also giving talks to packed auditoriums. Sitting at the head of an excited queue and signing books must be a very regular feature of this successful writer’s life. This evening’s queue was almost certainly unusual, being an exclusively adult one. But clutching well-loved favourites as well as shiny new purchases from the Heffers bookstall, and enthusiastically discussing favourite characters and scenes, this line of eager fans was perhaps not so very different.

“The worlds of my imagination and my reality have sort of interlocked together, and I think that’s the happiest part” says Jacqueline. ‘Jacky’ is one little girl who got what she wished for, and everyone who attended the Philippa Pearce lecture, as well as countless children and adults across the world, remain incredibly thankful for that.

eturning to Homerton, no longer as a student, was a very unusual experience for me. Getting to know staff members and what goes on ‘behind the scenes’ was a wonderful experience that opened my eyes to what exactly the College, students, staff and alumni do to support one another.

The day I set foot in Homerton marked a new chapter of my life that had a profound effect on me. The years I spent at Homerton were incredibly formative; they taught me a lot about who I am as a person, and how to react and respond to situations around me that I’d not

experienced until I landed here. To say it shaped the course of my future is not an exaggeration, as it has now led me down a path that wouldn’t have been accessible for me anywhere else.

The students here will never cease to amaze or impress me. Even during my time as a student here, I found inspiration from the many achievements of those around me – and each year we seem to accumulate more and more successes at an exponential rate.

This summer, our students represented Homerton and the University in many different ways and across several continents. The Charter Choir embarked on their annual Choir Tour, this year to the Auvergne region in France and on their return they recorded a Christmas CD

Dave Bell (PhD Education 2018), who helped to row the Cambridge men to victory in the 2019 Boat Race

19 ANNUAL REVIEW COLLEGE LIFE

which featured compositions by past and current Homerton students. They also performed a concert at Homerton in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the College, which included choir alumni. This collaboration of alumni and current students reflects what makes Homerton so great: an environment where we can support and learn from each other.

Many of you, I’m sure, will have been cheering on the Light Blues this year when Cambridge triumphed magnificently in the men’s and women’s races. This victory was all the sweeter as we were cheering on one of our own students, who was in the bow seat of the men’s blue boat. We also had three Homerton women competing in the University development squad.

Their success will be further magnified by the completion of the new boat house which ensures that our dedicated rowers, be they potential Blues or novices, have access to the best possible equipment we can provide.

Other successes include one of our own students captaining the Blues cheerleading squad, and both Homerton cheerleading teams coming in the top three nationally. In terms of drama, we also had a student represent us at the Minack Theatre in Cornwall as the lead in the Cambridge University Gilbert and Sullivan Society’s production of Princess Ida. We also had a number of Homertonians performing and organising the University of Cambridge Asia Theatre Tour, a nonprofit, student-run organisation representing some of the best theatrical, creative and technical talent Cambridge has to offer. Throughout September they toured across the UK and East Asia performing and providing workshops in venues, schools and universities with the aim of opening up cultural dialogues through lively performances and interactive workshops.

Our students also had successes much closer to home. The 2019 Homerton May Ball, held to celebrate the end of exams in June, was a sell-out success again this year. Over a thousand guests, including a number of Homerton alumni,

Anna Cooper (BA Music 2017) as Princess Ida

attended the event to enjoy a night of live music, entertainment, bespoke cocktails and gourmet food from local Cambridge vendors.

The event was organised by a committee of 20 undergraduate and postgraduate students, who put in a full year of hard work – not to mention a 24+ hour shift on the night – to bring the Ball to fruition. Particular successes this year included the introduction of a subsidised ticket class for students on bursaries, to promote accessibility, and an increased focus on making the event eco-friendly, which earned the Ball a Platinum Sustainability award, the highest tier available.

Above all, however, our students are here because they are exceptional scholars. 2019 marked some of the best results that Homerton had ever seen. Homerton was once a College which was at the top of its league for the education of future teachers; it is now a College which is at the top of its league for the education of future leaders in all possible domains n

y the time you read this, the Charter Choir will have celebrated its latest commercial release! Till all the place with music ring: Advent and Christmas at Homerton describes itself rather well – an album of Yuletide choral music, featuring Christmas classics as well as a number of seasonal new works. These include eight never previously recorded pieces, including Greta Tomlins’s The Son of God and Malcolm Pointon’s Three short motets.

The recording was made straight after the Choir’s tour to the Auvergne in the summer, where we were warmly hosted in ClermontFerrand by Fabienne Bonnet, former Bye Fellow

and Lay Chaplain of Homerton. This inevitably meant preparing some of our recording repertoire by performing it on the tour, and although that felt odd at times, nothing was quite comparable to singing the likes of Silent Night and We Wish You a Merry Christmas in the moderate heat of a Cambridge summer. Still, every choir needs a Christmas CD, and sacrifices must be made. I am listening to the recording while writing this, and I can honestly recommend it!

Returning briefly to the tour, we proceeded from the conurbation of Clermont-Ferrand and Chamalières to a village on the plateau called Le Chambon-sur-Lignon, best known for its role in the resistance movement during the Second World War. We were given the warmest of welcomes by our parishioner hosts and treated

Baczkowski, Senior Organ Scholar, also took on the role of President of the Homerton College Music Society (HCMS) during my absence, putting on regular concerts and organising an annual dinner and garden party.

Looking ahead, there is much to be excited about. Already this year we have sung Evensong at Leicester Cathedral and performed Fauré’s Requiem in a return visit to St Martin-in-the-Fields in London, at which several alumni were present.

Excitingly, the tenth anniversary of Homerton’s Royal Charter is almost upon us, and, with it, the Charter Choir’s tenth anniversary. On Saturday 7 March we will be celebrating by holding a reunion for all former members of the Charter Choir, to which we hope to attract representatives from the entirety of the last decade. This will consist of a special Choral Evensong to which all are most welcome. Please keep an eye on the website for further details.

As ever, alumni are most welcome at Charter Choir services and concerts, full details of which can be found on our website at www.homerton.cam.ac.uk/charterchoir.

to the local firework display, as our visit coincided with Bastille Day. The tour ended in Moulins. If you are unsure where to find Moulins on a map, draw two lines – one horizontal, one vertical – through the middle of France, and the city is more or less where the lines intersect.

I’m grateful to Fabienne, as well as to Max Goodall, for their help in organising this tour, especially as I was technically on a research sabbatical during the first half of 2020 (though still managed to find myself in an office dealing with tour-related admin, rather than deep in a pile of library books, more often than I would have liked).

I am also extremely grateful to several others who kept College music running smoothly during my sabbatical. Douglas Coombes MBE, now one of Homerton’s newest Associate Fellows, oversaw the Charter Choir’s most high-profile events, including Ash Wednesday, the Charter Dinner, and the final services of Easter Term. He was assisted by our two organ scholars, who shared the playing and conducting between them when Douglas was not able to be around. Our Honorary Lay Chaplain, Trish Maude, continued to oversee the pastoral and liturgical aspects of choir life.

Together, they maintained the Charter Choir’s busy schedule, performing Evensong in Coventry Cathedral and a concert in the Cathedral of St John the Baptist, Norwich. In addition, Chris

Pace. Precision. Power. The three P’s of Homerton.

The Homerton Griffins have had another fruitful year of victory. Under new leadership by a young and dynamic new Captain – Jamey Chaudhry – the Griffins have soared to new heights, quickly signing new talent such as Fergus Jemphry, Connor Fairman and Lancelot, while extending the contracts of some of the veterans including Nathan Johns, Luc Francis, David Bradburn and James Mocatta.

Homerton’s rugby team domestically won Division 3 twice in the 18/19 season before winning the Cuppers bowl in a stunning 24–17

victory on the field o’dreams that is Grange Road.

The Griffins also performed on the international stage winning the tri nations cup in Malta on their pre-season tour.

Having been promoted to Division 2 the Griffins continue to dominate despite an unfortunate series of injuries. Young hotshot Connor Fairman picked up a dislocated shoulder, while established superstar Jonathan Andrews suffered a hamstring injury. Andy Hughes’ knee continued to be a bother although he soldiered through setting a fine example.

On the social side Fin Macintosh has been pulling the strings from behind the curtains. Pizza Sunday has been a huge hit, with attendance through the roof and the team gym sessions have really got the blood pumping.

Another incredible year for Homerton’s finest.

There has been love, there has been loss but the real winner has definitely been rugby.

Football I’s The 2018–2019 Homerton First XI Football team will be remembered as one of the greatest sides to grace the hallowed turf of the Geoff Ward Superdome. The year started with a change of captaincy as Griffins GK stalwart Oscar Wilson passed the reins onto mercurial ball playing centre half Sam Hoar. Alongside Vice-Captain Sam Sayer and James ‘Tumnus’ Hayes, this change of leadership group brought in a new brand of scintillating football that many of the more established Cambridge Colleges found simply too hot to handle. Despite the frequent absence of Blues prima donna Kosi Nwuba, the

The Homerton Frisbee team has had a mixed year in 18/19. We started out strong in Michaelmas term, coming third in the College league. In Lent we dropped to fifth place and in Easter term, suffering from a lack of players we came in ninth. However this year has got off to a fantastic start. We started in the second division but have won every game we played and look forward to further success in the first division.

Michaelmas saw a huge recruitment drive for novice rowers on the men’s side of the club, resulting in two crews entering the Queens’ Ergs indoor rowing competition and the Fairbairn Cup at the end of the term. We were also represented in the novice Emma Sprints (dressed as superheroes) and Clare Regatta, which gave valuable race experience for those who had just taken up the sport. The senior squad of 12 returning rowers also entered an VIII in the Fairbairn cup. The new relationship with City of Cambridge Rowing Club expanded our fleet significantly beyond the four VIIIs owned by HCBC, which allowed for training in smaller boats giving the training schedule much more flexibility and variety.

Lent term kicked off with a pre-season training camp in preparation for Lent bumps. Unfortunately, M2 didn’t qualify for a place in the bumps chart through the ‘Getting on’ Race, however, we fielded an M1 consisting of a mix of returning seniors and

Boat Club Women’s For HCBC Women the past term has been an exciting one. We have had a focus on training rather than racing this term, taking part in Senior Q-ergs and rowing under several different coaches. We currently have approximately 15 active seniors, many of whom are new to Homerton having rowed elsewhere. We have several pieces of news to share: We are very much enjoying the use of our new boat house, and all that comes with it. Whilst the coffee machine has made early mornings a lot easier we have also had a wonderful opportunity to use CCRC’s collection of small boats and fantastic gym/erg room.

Another exciting bit of news – we have a new coach! Homerton crews have, for several years,

promising novice rowers from Michaelmas term.

There was a great sense of camaraderie in the boat and although the results were not as successful as we’d hoped it was a great opportunity to develop sound technique for those who will take the mantle of HCBC rowing in the future. Excitement was also mounting as the new boat house began to rise slowly from the ground showing promise for things to come in HCBC’s future.

May bumps was more successful with two men’s boats competing and M2 bumping St. Catharine’s M3 on day three. M1 struggled to maintain pace after strong racing starts on each day and ultimately got spoons but lessons were learned that can be taken into preparations for 2019–20. There was cause for celebration and commiseration at the May Boat Club Dinner but overall the training and dedication of those on the men’s side this year has laid a solid foundation for the future in the newly erected boat house. It is encouraging at the beginning of the new year to see so many enthusiastic rowers returning on the men’s sides, showing that even in the face of defeat we are determined to fight on and celebrate the club’s esprit de corps.

The past year saw many changes in the Badminton club, from a large increase in members to excellent performance in the College leagues.

The ladies’ team manage to secure promotion to Division 1 in the College league, whilst the Homerton I team managed to secure a solid fourth place in Division 2 against some very tough opponents. The past term, the team has shown considerable improvement and our next goal is to secure the promotion to Division 1, which is well within reach. Unfortunately, Cuppers was a great upset last year and we were knocked out in the first round against St Catharine’s College who had some impressive University players on their team and a strong aggressive play style.

r Stephen Burgess leads a research group in the Medical Research Council Biostatistics Unit based at Addenbrooke’s Hospital. The group investigates how our knowledge of genetics can help prioritise development of treatments to improve health outcomes.

Several pieces of research have received media attention this year, including work linking inflammation to depression, time spent in education to coronary heart disease, and fat mass (but not lean mass) to cardiovascular diseases.

Equally (if not more) important is research that does not capture the imagination of the national press, including methodological research to disentangle the causal roles of highly correlated risk factors, and to estimate the shape of the causal relationship between risk factors and diseases to investigate the presence of non-linearity or threshold effects. Along with colleagues in the Psychiatry Department, Stephen was recently awarded a Therapeutic A theatre workshop delivered by THIS Institute and Menagerie Theatre Company

Target Validation grant to explore links between inflammatory processes and schizophrenia.

Junior Research Fellow Dr Ross Cole has published an article on folk music in Ethnomusicology. Forthcoming essays have been accepted at the Journal of the Royal Musical Association (on the poetics of song) and ASAP/ Journal (on vaporwave). He has been invited to speak at King’s College London, CRASSH, and the University of Oxford. He also chaired a post-performance discussion of Yoko Ono’s Sky Piece to Jesus Christ at Downing College. His first monograph is currently in preparation.

Professor Mary Dixon-Woods and her team at The Healthcare Improvement Studies (THIS) Institute worked with Menagerie Theatre Company to deliver two interactive theatre workshops at Homerton. The performances raised awareness of the importance of research and evidence to support change in healthcare delivery. The play acted as a conversation starter between the audience and researchers, opening up wide-ranging conversations about the role of evidence in improving care.

THIS Institute also hosted the inaugural THIS Space event at Homerton in September 2019. The highly interactive event brought together researchers, healthcare practitioners, and patients from across the UK. All who attended shared a common goal: a commitment

to strengthening the evidence base for improving the quality and safety of healthcare.

Dr Will Fawcett, Homerton Research Associate in Physics, is exploring the potential for new fundamental physics from the data produced by the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. “The 2018–19 academic year saw the end of “Run 2” of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s most powerful particle accelerator. During Run 2, the accelerator was ramped up to its highest ever energies, allowing more powerful particle collisions. Consequently, this extra energy potentially allows us to create new, previously unseen kinds of matter. In addition, the largest-ever dataset was collected allowing us to search for ever-rarer particle interactions.

Recently, the Higgs boson produced with two top-quarks was measured using the new data. What is fascinating about the Higgs is its interaction with other particles. After all, it is the particle that gives others their mass: the heavier the particle, the stronger its interaction with the Higgs. The top quark is the heaviest of the fundamental particles we know, indicating

On 4 July 2019, the Department of Social Anthropology and the MML Faculty hosted a workshop jointly convened by Homerton Junior Research Fellow Dr Paolo Heywood and Professor Robert Gordon (Serena Professor of Italian at Cambridge), entitled Body politics: tombs, museums, monuments, and the afterlives of dictators in Italy and Spain.

The workshop focused on the afterlives of fascist regimes in Italy and Spain, and in particular on the politics surrounding the bodies of Franco and Mussolini. Speakers included the technical and academic directors of a project to build a Documentation Centre in the village in which Mussolini is buried, as well as academic experts and public commentators on recent debates around the disinterment of Franco’s remains from the Valle de los Caidos.

SORCE is a large international study with over 1700 participants which investigated whether a newly developed drug, Sorafenib, could reduce the risk of relapse after removal of a high risk kidney cancer. The results showed that whilst there was a short term effect, there was no significant longer term effect.

Measuring the strength of this interaction tests our understanding of the particle world.

However, the most exciting result would in fact be a disagreement with our current predictions.

That is because the interaction strength is not just sensitive to the properties of the Higgs, but also to currently undiscovered particles. Thus, finding our hypothesis does not match observations could mean discovering something new!”

I have also completed work on a second monograph called Eighteenth-Century Literary Affections, which examines the mediating role played by the category of the affections in eighteenth-century contestations about reason and passion. The book is now in press and will be forthcoming with Palgrave Macmillan in 2020.

I was delighted to be awarded the Crausaz Wordsworth Interdisciplinary Fellowship in Philosophy at CRASSH for the academic year 2019–2020. During my CRASSH fellowship I will be working on a new project called Enlightenment Progressivism: Literature, Education and Freedom, which will explore the cultural turn towards – and the accompanying resistance against – progressivism, examining the ramifications of philosophical debates about progressive education for literature and literary theory in the eighteenth century and beyond. Alongside this, with Zoe Jaques and Eugene Giddens I am co-editing volumes 1 (Origins to 1830) and 2 (1830–1914) of The Cambridge History of Children’s Literature in English, and with Jessica Lim I am co-editing a collection of essays entitled Literary Education: Women’s Pedagogical Exchange, 1690–1850.”

Dr Ros McLellan, Fellow in Education, released the final report for a research project on which she was co-investigator: The Understanding Maths Anxiety Project, funded by the Nuffield Foundation. Working with 27,000 primary and secondary students, the project explored the perception, held even by children with high ability in the subject, that maths is harder than other subjects. This can lead to an emotional and physical aversion to maths, and a fear of failure.

The project received strong media interest, and was covered in most of the broadsheet papers.

“I had the great pleasure of appearing on BBC Three Counties Radio on their morning breakfast show where I experienced maths anxiety first hand when the presenter dropped a surprise mental arithmetic test on myself and his copresenter, pitched at the level expected at the end of primary school. Needless to say neither the co-presenter nor I managed to get all five questions correct…”

Dr André Neves is a Senior Research Associate at Cancer Research UK Cambridge. He is currently working on the translation to the clinic of a cell death imaging agent (C2Am) for positron emission tomography, a mainstream modality in clinical imaging. This novel imaging agent will allow clinicians in the future to assess response to cancer therapy in a faster, more effective manner, in comparison to current standard of care, with

potential benefits for patient outcome and significant cost savings for the NHS. André’s work has been awarded substantial funding by the Cambridge Cancer Centre, as part of the Mark Foundation Institute for Integrated Cancer Medicine. A first-in-human clinical trial of the C2Am imaging agent is planned for the end of 2020.

“Well, what a year for research focused on Greenland,” says Homerton Research Associate Dr Jakob Thyrring. “With heatwaves resulting in massive inland ice melt off, and not to forget Trump proposing to buy the place…”

Jakob’s research highlights included the publication of four peer-reviewed research papers, and the successful collection of settlement panels from the Greenland inter-tidal zone after a year’s use. The biological data gathered will aid researchers’ understanding of warming in the Arctic coastal zone.

Norwegian students try out Talkwall

Paul Warwick, Senior Lecturer in Education, has been leading the UK element of the Digitalised Dialogues Across the Curriculum (DiDiAC) project, funded by the Research Council of Norway. The research is developing new knowledge to help understand how students learn in contemporary digitalised schools and across three key knowledge domains – science, language and social sciences.

The project integrates the use of a microblogging tool, Talkwall, in classrooms in England and Norway that use the ‘Thinking Together’ approach for developing productive talk for learning (http://thinkingtogether.educ.cam.ac.uk/).

Using Talkwall, a teacher formulates a question or a challenge before students, individually or in groups, post messages to a shared ‘wall’ (e.g. large screen/projector). These messages can be interactively arranged, supporting the immediate visualisation of ideas. Hashtags and a short message format (max 140 characters) help to promote various important learning strategies, such as condensing information and identifying key concepts.

Outputs from the UK team to date include an international handbook chapter, a chapter in an edited book and four papers in peer reviewed journals. Dissemination into schools is ongoing n

evelopment Offices – a US invention – are ubiquitous now in UK universities and independent schools, all of which have realised the benefits of making it easy for alumni to support the institution, and to stay in touch both with it, and with each other. It occurs to me from time to time what an odd word ‘Development’ is, to describe these activities. It can mean almost anything (‘we need to keep up with developing developments in Development’) and sometimes it seems like a code word, as if the true activities of the office were nefarious and needed concealment (they’re not, and they don’t). Certainly the student body

generally does not know quite what to make of us: I was horrified to discover a couple of years ago that many students thought we were something to do with building developments, and that others thought that because we had something to do with money, that was a bad thing – presumably because these students only see money as something that other people have.

Of course now that America has successfully exported this sense of the word ‘Development’ to the UK, it is busy minting a new concept, and my counterparts in the US often now have the title ‘Director of Advancement’, in which the functions of fundraising and alumni relations are combined with various sorts of external communication – projecting the reputation and values of the institution beyond its walls.

In this as in much else, Homerton has been a little ahead of the game, except perhaps in its devotion to jargon.

When I arrived in Homerton six years ago I wrote on a whiteboard ‘the purpose of this office is the planned and purposeful promotion of understanding, participation and support’, and that still seems to me a fair description of our role.

‘Development’ contains the sense of improvement, and indeed Development Offices are the one department whose responsibility is to see that the institution is a little better tomorrow than it is today – in terms of opportunities for students to grow, and a sort of institutional kindness, in our ability to catch them when or before they fall, with hardship grants and needs assessments and other kinds of care.

To borrow the thoughts of Chinua Achebe on the role of writers: “If we have any role at all, I think it’s the role of optimism…In other words, we don’t just sit and hope that things will work out; we have a role to play to make that come about.”

In terms of opportunities to grow, Homerton is suddenly at the forefront, through the brilliant Homerton Changemakers programme, which offers students a unique opportunity to develop their non-academic skills.

2019 saw its formal launch (though ‘formal’ doesn’t seem quite right for a joyous jazz-andcanapé-filled marquee and some star turns from our Honorary Fellows Ann Cotton and Dame Evelyn Glennie). In 2019 we also began a focused push to raise funds for the programme, and our generous alumni have given over £70,000 towards this sector-leading provision – including a stellar gift from Cynthia Rumboll MBE (CertEd 1958).

A terrific donation is helping Homerton cement its reputation for high achievement in sport: we can now make two Horobin Sports Awards to new graduate students each year, who are at national level in any sport – and we can help our students with the cost of travel, equipment and training incurred in pursuing sport.

And thanks to our partnership with Santander Universities UK, we can make bursary and hardship awards to help students make ends meet.

So: helping our students grow, and catching them when they fall.

All in all, 2019 saw our most successful year yet in fundraising for these twin purposes, and our whole community is hugely grateful to you n

Homerton London Alumni

Yet another very successful lunch was held in early October at Monk’s Yard, Ilminster. We were in a different room from previous gatherings, which had a fabulous roof window over our single large table making it a very bright, sociable and friendly occasion. We welcomed Jill Evans (1980–84) and Liz Gibbs (1963–66) who were both attending for the first time. Sadly, Coral Harrow (1949–51) had suffered a fall and was in Yeovil Hospital so she was sorely missed – the first lunch that she has not been able to attend since the group’s inception, over 40 years ago.

A group of the Homerton London Rollers supported the Homerton Charter Choir when they performed at St-Martin-in-the-Fields in November and this was followed up by an afternoon tea at St Martin’s in December. The London Rollers also met up at the V&A Museum of Childhood in January, when Homertonian Carolyn Bloore told us about the history of the museum.

The group plans to meet again in April at the main V&A site in south Kensington when Carolyn will tell us more of the museum’s history. Our summer event will be a visit to Fulham Palace. For details of these events please contact Stephanie Beardsworth (stephanie.beardsworth@btinternet.com).

Wessex branch get together

Date for your diary: Thursday 2nd April 2020 For the next gathering we are having an exciting change from our usual format. Jane Hancock (1973–76), is the wife of the Right Reverend Peter Hancock, Bishop of Bath & Wells. We are having the usual lunch in a private room in The Crown, in the Market Place in Wells, but after this, the Hancocks have kindly invited us across the moat, for a tour of the Palace and Gardens, followed by afternoon tea in the Bishop’s Drawing Room. Of course, anybody is welcome to join us for all, or part of the day. If you are not currently on the Homerton Wessex list but would like to participate in this event, you will be most welcome.

ANNUAL REVIEW ALUMNI

Torrential rain welcomed the first arrivals to Alumni Reunion Weekend, on the evening of Friday 27 September. Rushing soggily between the Porters’ Lodge and the Combination Room to reunite drinks reception attendees with their name badges, it appeared that the weekend was in danger of being a wash-out. But Saturday brought sunshine, and the annual celebration of former students was back on track.

Nearly 200 alumni and their guests returned to stroll the grounds, assess the changes and see for themselves how, despite its evolving ambitions and ever-improving facilities, Homerton’s essential warmth, friendliness and individuality remains unaltered.

Attendees ranged from those whose time at Homerton began immediately after the Second World War, to those who left only last year.

There was a particularly strong turnout from year groups marking anniversaries in 2019 – those who joined or left the College in 1959, 1969, 1979, 1989 and 1999. The 1959 cohort added to the party atmosphere by bringing their own Prosecco and a bespoke cake from a local bakery, provided by Diana Lucas (née Barber).

The timetable for the weekend squeezed in two three-course dinners, one two-course lunch, one spectacular afternoon tea, several drinks receptions, various speeches and addresses, a

1950s Congratulations to Mary Prince (née Bruce) (CertEd 1957–59), who received an MBE for services to young people with dyslexia in Kingston upon Thames in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List 2019. Mary’s husband, Colin, wrote: “I met Mary in my third and fourth years at St John’s, and we were married in 1961, both dedicated to careers in education. It became clear that Mary was especially fascinated by children of ability, but who were completely unable to handle their ‘word blindness’.

She spent much of her teaching concerns and experience in inspiring youngsters to realise their potential, concentrating centrally on children with reading and writing difficulties. This gave birth to her several work books and sheets for teachers and children. Teachers, past pupils, LEA officers, inspectors and parents have written of her continued and passionate commitment to this dedication.”

Many congratulations to Wendy Cannon (née Norrington) (CertEd 1949–51) and her husband

David, who celebrated 65 years of marriage, as well as David’s 90th birthday, in 2019.

1960s Jennifer Cole (née Medcalf) (CertEd 1962–65) followed an eclectic teaching career ranging from Canvey Island to a prep boarding school in Ascot.

“After becoming a member of the BDA, I gained a B.Ed from Kingston University in 1996 followed by an M.Ed from Sheffield University in 2000. Retiring in 2001 to Devon from Sunningdale I became a Link Ed tutor giving part time education to any out of school pupil under 16 whether ill, pregnant, expelled or on remand!

In 2005 we relocated to Melbourne, Australia, surrounded by sand, sea and vines.”

Christine Purkis (BEd 1964–7) has branched out into writing for adults, after publishing several books for children.

Exploring the life of a 19th century Welsh pig farmer who nursed with Florence Nightingale at Scutari, Jane Evans is published by Y Lolfa.

“My aim was to tell stories of the women, particularly the working class women, who made a huge contribution to the Crimean war. I have been to many events, including book groups held by fellow Homertonians, and would always be happy to speak to more such gatherings.”

1970s Jane Brooke (née Peacocke) (CertEd 1971–4) was appointed Vice Dean and Canon Missioner at Chester Cathedral, with responsibility for education and “looking outwards” to establish links between the cathedral and city and diocese.

Sadly, in 2010 Helen began to show signs of cognitive decline and has since been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Nevertheless she remains cheerful and enjoys seeing her six grandchildren and taking part in church activities. She is still in touch with several of her Homerton peers.

1980s Fiona Fraser (née Bodie-Smith) (BEd 1979–82) has finally taken the advice she’s spent a lifetime sharing with students, and decided to take the plunge.

“In my 34 years in professional life after Homerton, as an English teacher, Department Chair, Dean of Faculty and Assistant Head of School, I’ve spent a lot of time talking to students about being willing to take risks as they learn and that true education is being a lifelong learner.

In 2015 my husband (Alastair Fraser, Christ’s) and I, took leave from our respective jobs and set sail from Texas to explore the Caribbean in a 43 foot sailing boat. Always a desire of Alastair’s, as he is

Helen Malcolm (née Samuels) (CertEd 1972–75) worked as a teacher for three years before starting a family. She did not return to teaching, but once her three children were old enough she worked for some years as an activities organiser in an old people’s home. Later she gained a TEFL qualification and volunteered at the University of Bedfordshire chaplaincy helping overseas students with their English. She also developed her artistic gifts and repurposed the large scale ‘seasons’ artwork she had made at Homerton as a wall hanging.

an experienced sailor and navigator, this was never on my bucket list.

We returned to working life and invested in a forever boat and, for two winter seasons now, have been sailing seven months of the year in the Caribbean on our 54 foot monohull, Busco Viento. Some might say I’m living the dream! I’m certainly walking the walk of what I’ve talked over the course of my career. It’s challenging, at times frustrating, can be physically taxing, but I’m learning about my own resilience, willingness to learn new skills, and am proud that I am living my mantra. Oh and there’s also those stunning sunsets, myriad blue waters and just the occasional cocktail!”

Dr Emma Till (BEd 1986–90) was awarded her PhD by the University of Winchester in October 2018.

She is now Senior Lecturer in Primary Education at the same university.

“A few years ago I noticed that, although there are plenty of female composers of sacred music, no sacred music by women was ever sung by choirs at my local Cathedral. I had a look through some scared anthologies and found that there were hardly any women composers in them; many had none. I mentioned this to a friend and we decided to do something about it.”

2000s After leaving Homerton, Andrew Malcolm (BA Education with Mathematics 2004–7) gained a PGCE while teaching in a Luton high school, then worked in Alternative Provision for some years.

He was awarded a professional doctorate in 2015 for a thesis entitled “Alternative provision as an educational option: Understanding the experiences of excluded young people”.

Andrew now works in the School of Applied Social Studies at the University of Bedfordshire and represents the High Town ward on Luton Borough Council. He initiated the High Town Festival which has run successfully since 2013. He is also portfolio holder for Finance and chairman of London Luton Airport Ltd.

hat makes Homerton an exciting place is that, between things and people, it is always changing. As a parttime Tutor I visit the College two or three times a week in term and enjoy that regular contact, but this summer I was away from Homerton and only returned for the RSMA AGM on a wellattended Alumni Weekend. In July work was starting on the new ‘North Wing’ at the back of the College and you could see the skeleton of its steel frame being erected, but when I returned in September the roof was on and the windows in place. The vista was startling, but seemed to complement the long run of buildings facing onto Harrison Drive. I noted the use of similar brick

and flint panels to match the Ibberson Building of 1914 behind it– a nice touch.

Of course building work, particularly where it joins onto pre-existing structures, causes havoc.

Paupers’ Walk was barely recognisable as half of its width was taken up with acro-props and ineffective screens to keep out dust and noise. On the other side of Paupers’ Walk old plaster had been ripped away to reveal miraculously intact leaded-light windows dating from the early 19th century.

What an amazing piece of Homerton archaeology!

Many of us RSMs have fond memories of the Old Combination Room, but that was not its original function. Built as three interconnecting classrooms in 1903 with 50 new student rooms above, it represented the first building phase of Homerton College on its Cambridge site. It was designed to allow for increased student numbers up to a total

51 ANNUAL REVIEW ALUMNI

of 200. Today (November 2019) there are 1,352 students at Homerton. The classrooms, in line with educational thinking of the time, were high, light and airy, very similar to the London Board schools where Homerton teachers were undertaking their training. High square lattice windows with touches of stained glass at the top ran around three sides with a splendid triple-gable window at one end opposite the entrance. It must have led to a memorable first impression for visitors and humble freshers.

In 1936 these three classrooms were converted into the College Library, previously housed in a very cramped room then renamed ‘Macaulay’. But the classroom windows, close together and down to waist height were incompatible with new bookshelves and panelling designed by Gordon Russell. Also there was a need for quiet study space without disturbance from students running down Paupers’ Walk - to and from the Gym. So the lower part of the windows on two sides were boarded over. When the new octagonal ‘Black and White’ Library, with its splendid curved iron staircase, was built in 1967 and the old library was converted into the Combination Room, no one thought to open up the windows again. The Gordon Russell panels gave a snugness to the room – the wood absorbed nicotine from many staff who smoked in retreat there. And so the beautiful old windows of 1903 were forgotten until their chance discovery this summer.

Now the plan is to open up at least two of them either side of the doorway into Paupers’ Walk giving access to the newly built North Wing. Soon they will once again be part of the Homerton experience just as they were over a hundred years ago. To me this constant metamorphosis of an institution both structurally and functionally is fascinating. As the College continues to grow in student numbers and intellectual strength so this relationship between buildings and people becomes ever more complex and interesting. Of course a College is primarily

The lower part of the windows with panelling removed

about people, but at any one point in time there is a romantic connection between people and buildings that endures for a lifetime in memory.

The RSMA has the longest memory of anyone in College and we accept our role as guardians of College folklore and building history. We have recently established a Heritage Group as a subset of our Committee to gather information from our older members and commit their memories to the College Archives in perpetuity. Ever conscious that we lose three or four older members each year – but at the same time gaining five or six newly retired members - there is no time to lose.

The College is going through so many changes as I write; little gems of history are easily forgotten unless they are written down and preserved for posterity. As retired members of the College we take pride in the metamorphosis of Homerton to which we have in some small part contributed.

It is a pleasure therefore recording it for the enjoyment and interest of generations to come n

BOOK REVIEW Homerton – Our Secret History

52 ANNUAL REVIEW ALUMNI

Homerton – Our Secret History, was written by Peter Warner, Emeritus Fellow and former Senior Tutor, to mark the 250th anniversary of of the first Trust Deed of Homerton Academy, established in London in 1768.

How do you spend your Tuesday evenings?

If you were a pious young man in the City of London in 1730, chances are your weekly destination was the King’s Head Tavern in Swithin’s Alley, next to the Royal Exchange.

Inside: coiling tobacco smoke, the scent of gin and ale, and – through the candlelit gloom, crowded around a table in the corner – fourteen gentlemen in knee-length coats and breeches laying the foundations of what would become our very own Homerton College.

The question of how these very different dissenters – among them a tobacconist, a silk throwster, and a shopkeeper – went on to create an institution that, over 250 years on, still remains a centre of learning ‘sacred to nonconformity’ (in the broadest sense) is the subject of Peter Warner’s Homerton: A London Academy in the 18th Century, the first volume of a new history of Homerton that finally reveals the full complexity and eccentricity of the College’s earliest years.

Homertonians old and new – particularly those initiated by drinking wine from the Homerton Horn – will no doubt relish the fact that their College was effectively founded in a pub. Yet as Dr Warner (longtime Senior Tutor and current Keeper of the Roll) explains, for decades our subversive history – perhaps the most extraordinary of any Oxbridge College – was deliberately concealed so as not to ‘rock the boat’ when Homerton sought to integrate itself within the wider University.

‘Homerton by its very nature was always a highly political institution’, he says, but earlier

undergraduates to go digging. History can say as much about where you are going as where you have come from. These themes of our past – educational excellence, political radicalism, bold adventure, and artistic imagination – are just as relevant now as they were then, but it is one thing to dwell on these abstract notions, and quite another to realise them. However we choose to utilise our rediscovered history, we must make practical efforts to show that it matters: not just raising a glass, as it were, in honour of our founders, but cherishing their nonconformist and freethinking spirit n

Francis Dearnley (matriculated 2010) studied History and was President of the Homerton Union of Students 2013–14. He was a Researcher and Chief of Staff for George Freeman MP at the Houses of Parliament 2016–19, and has just completed a book about Europe and Westminster.

53 ANNUAL REVIEW ALUMNI

College historians were careful not to make this history sound ‘too political’ for fear of making ourselves unpopular. As such, Homertonian luminaries like Henry Mayo, radical editor and member of Samuel Johnson’s literary circle, and John Pye Smith, campaigner against slavery and the Corn Laws, lived on for decades only in volumes of minute books and pamphlets buried deep in the Homerton Archives, awaiting Dr Warner’s rediscovery.

That Homerton has long had this genius for combining radicalism with restraint is another revelation contained in Dr Warner’s book: a vital trait that allowed us to adapt to changing circumstances and weather political storms. East London, we learn, is strewn with the remains of other Dissenting Academies from the 18th century forced to close for reasons of subversion or financial ruin, but Homerton – through a mixture of ingenuity, leadership, moderation, and the talent of its students – managed to survive, and even thrive, in a period when the government needed little excuse to shut down ‘dissident’ institutions.

Current students, meanwhile, will find much that resonates with our contemporary political world – a cultural climate where identity politics was not a modern development, but the norm, and where students stayed up until the early hours debating the latest events and ideas. One student, William Walford, writing in the 1790s at the time of the French Revolution, wrote that the arrival of the newspaper ‘was generally the signal for fresh encounters…carried on until the necessity of sleep put a temporary pause to the hostilities.’ It is easy to imagine similar scenes playing out in ABC these past three years.

Tantalisingly, says Dr Warner, ‘there remain papers in the College Archive unexplored… the next generation of scholars…will find real treasure therein…’ As we await his second volume, one hopes these words will inspire future

JEAN LYDIA HOLM

ANNUAL REVIEW IN MEMORIAM

Lecturer in Religious Studies and Head of Department at Homerton College 1969–1986

A prolific writer on religious studies and religious education, Jean was one of the first academics to advocate the teaching of other religions in parallel with traditional school Christianity in England. In the words of Professor Paul Morris: “Jean was one of the pioneers of this new direction. She authored one of the first textbooks for teachers where she presents a practical and straightforward guide to teaching religions within the framework of the national guidelines: Teaching Religion in School: a practical approach (Oxford University Press 1975).”

Other important textbooks included: The Study of Religions (Sheldon Press 1977), Study of Religions: issues in Religious Studies (Sheldon Press 1986), Making Moral Decisions: themes in Religious Studies; Sacred Place and Attitudes to Nature; themes in Religious Studies (1994), all aimed at teachers of Religious Studies in British classrooms. This work endured; seven years later Sacred Place and Making Moral Decisions were republished. Consequently she became recognised as the authority in her field.

In his funeral address, Professor Morris concluded that: “Jean’s legacy is her important contribution to teaching about religions to students … around the English-speaking world. She brought the work of Religious Studies experts directly into the classroom via her publications. In a quiet and ultimately civilised way (albeit with a slightly wicked sense of humour!) she lived what she taught and wrote about – a personal curiosity, engagement and respect for religiously and culturally diverse others – grounded in the recognition that this was not always easy but always ongoing and supremely important.”

Generations of students at Homerton benefited from her expertise and carried her teaching with them all over the world.

While I am most grateful to Jean’s friend and colleague Peggy Morgan for forwarding Professor Morris’ obituary from New Zealand, I would like to finish with some memories of my own. As an eager junior lecturer at Homerton on part-time one-year contracts, I remember her kindness and gentleness as a very senior member of staff in that rather forbidding matriarchy. Even when the lot fell on me to organise the Christmas Gathering (God help me!), she resisted direct intervention and simply offered her kindest ‘advice’– which really could not be ignored! She had a lightness about her which disguised an extraordinary warmth and depth of wisdom. In retrospect I suppose there was a saintliness about her which I was too young to appreciate – not surprising given her extensive knowledge of world religions.

She died in August 2018 in Auckland, in her beloved New Zealand, aged 95.

83

Supplied by Henry Lesser

Born in Durban, South Africa, in 1939, Felicity attended Maris Stella convent school, before beginning work as journalist at the Mercury newspaper. Moving to London in the early 1960s, she worked in the Fleet Street offices of the Manchester Guardian and the Manchester Evening News.

After her marriage ended, Felicity had a change of career, and undertook a BEd at Homerton. Following her graduation she returned to South Africa, where she taught at Turret College, a subversive educational operation which illegally taught O and A levels to black students. She continued to teach English privately until the last few years of her life.

In the early 1990s Felicity volunteered as a peace monitor, working with peace committees under the National Peace Accord, which was established to support the peaceful transition to democracy post-apartheid.

Felicity died in Johannesburg on 19 February 2019. At her funeral service friends paid tribute to her intelligence, integrity, humour and positivity, as well as her lifelong love of language and literature, and her loyalty as a friend.

ANNUAL REVIEW IN MEMORIAM

Jane was an extraordinarily accomplished and talented person. In addition to her teaching certificate from Homerton (1965–68) in maths and art, she went on to receive an Associate degree in Computer Science and a Landscape Architecture diploma in the USA, where she and her husband of almost 50 years, Henry, lived for most of their married life.

There, she had successful careers in computing and non-profit administration. She also won several prizes for her stone sculpture and wood carving. She was a busy volunteer for numerous organisations, most recently working alongside Henry for their local library in California’s Bay Area, where she loved walking along the ocean.

Jane passed away suddenly in March 2019, aged 72. She is deeply missed by Henry, her family and her many friends.

MA Accommodation Alumni of Homerton are able to book accommodation at the College at a discounted alumni rate. Outside of term time, you can book a single room by emailing alumni@ homerton.cam.ac.uk.

If you hold a Cambridge BA, you may proceed to the MA not less than six years from the end of your first term of residence, providing that you have held your BA degree for at least two years.

The College will contact you approximately two months before you become eligible. You may then register to receive your MA degree in person or in absence.
