MASTER'S NOTES In contrast to last year, 1971 was a peaceful year. It is interesting to look back on the events of a year ago. The representatives of the three Common Rooms were on the point of agreement on all outstanding issues when the militant committee of the Junior Common Room decided to recommend direct action. With the failure of the sleep-in, the committee became incommunicado. A new committee was elected in Hilary Term. With them, and with the officers of the Middle Common Room, a cordial relationship has developed, resulting in progress in matters of common concern. What happened in Pembroke is a microcosm of what happened in other university centres. The upset was not profitable to anyone. What is lost at such
6
PEMBROKE RECORD
a time is peace of mind and the consequent opportunity for free association, which is the essence of learning and scholarship. I suppose the lesson had to be learned and I feel confident that it has been. 1971 was kind to me. My hips recovered further so that by the end of the year I was able to walk freely without sticks and had lost my pain. To be mobile once again after ten years of partial, and latterly almost complete, immobility is like what I imagine being let out of prison must feel like. To be rid of more or less constant pain is also a most exhilarating experience. In my last year's notes, I mentioned that the College had launched an Appeal for funds in order to buy the remainder of our island site and to build on it. After prolonged negotiations, we eventually bought the old Bluecoat's School building (last used as a Scout Hall) from the Charity Commissioners, and the rest of the property at the corner of St. Ebbe's and Pembroke Street from Merton and Christ Church, the total cost to the College being, in round figures, f120,000. In connection with the Appeal, the opportunity was taken to invite Old Members and their families to come and see what had been happening to their old College and what we hoped would happen. An Open Day was held on July 4th, and lunch and tea were provided for some 600 people. Some of our best pieces of College silver were on show in the Weatherley Room, the Library had some of its treasures on view, and the Fellows of the College displayed some of their scholarly works in the Hall. A programme of medieval music was beautifully performed by a group of musicians led by David Lindley. The elements were kind. Small children dashed around the Quadrangles in and out of the stationary adults. When the last guests left at 6.30 p.m., all agreed that it had been a splendid party. As the year closes, the Appeal stands at ÂŁ85,000, satisfactory, but less than we need to erect the building we would like on the St. Ebbe's site. One of the outstanding needs of the College is for a new Library. The original College Library was in a small apartment over the Dining Hall of Broadgates Hall. When Master Jeune built the new Dining Hall in 1848, the old Hall became the Library. With the expansion of the College in the last thirty years, the Library has become woefully inadequate. Books have overflowed into the Browning Room, and the old Billiard Room of the Master's Lodgings, which is, incidentally, one of the most lovely rooms in the College. There are far too few places for men to read, and books are not easy of access. It has been my conviction that academic institutions can most easily and accurately be graded by the quality of their libraries. It is therefore with profound thankfulness that I may now report that the McGowin family, who have had five of their members at Pembroke,
PEMBROKE RECORD
7
has undertaken to present the College with a new Library, which we hope will be completed in 1974 in time for the 350th anniversary of the founding of the College. Earl M. McGowin and N. Floyd McGowin matriculated at Pembroke in 1922, Julian F. McGowin in 1926, and Nicholas S. McGowin in 1933. They are all brothers and come from Alabama, U.S.A. The fifth, J. Greeley (son of Floyd), matriculated in 1948. They could hardly have chosen a more fitting or timely form of commemorating their family connection with the College. I am also delighted to report that another Old Member from the United States, Damon Wells, Jr., has offered to pay the cost of restoring the outside of the Chapel to its original state, and the inside to the state in which C. E. Kempe decorated it in 1884. The restoration of the outside is now well under way. Perhaps the greatest change in the year was the departure on 31st July of Lady Alison Sinclair, known in the College as Miss Sinclair. She had been College Secretary since 1956. When she came, the College affairs were run by the Bursar, the Senior Tutor and the College Secretary. Nowadays the work she did is done by three people, but then, times have changed and the red tape has proliferated. During her period of office, the College administration was notable for its smoothness, efficiency and unobtrusiveness. The esteem in which she was held was demonstrated by presentations from the Fellows, the Middle Common Room and the Junior Common Room. The Governing Body entertained her to a farewell lunch, and the College flag was flown on her last day. We miss her greatly. The Governing Body remained unchanged during the year, but one of our Research Fellows, Dr. A. L. Dexter, who held a Gas Council Research Fellowship in Engineering Science, left us to take up a Lecturership at Trinity College, Dublin. Dr. M. R. Topp was appointed to an I.B.M. Research Fellowship in Chemistry. We did rather less well in Schools than the previous year, with five Firsts. As will be seen elsewhere in the Record, G. A. Robinson got a Blue for cricket, and we had three Half-Blues, T. C. Gunn and A. P. Daykin for long-distance canoeing, and C. Jenkins for shooting. In other competitive events we had some odd distinctions. C. J. Moore, who comes from the United States, played Real Tennis for the University, and R. 0. Clarke, a former President of the Junior Common Room, was runner-up in a national Wine Taster of the Year competition. As the Record goes to press the whole College has been grieved by the news of the death, after a short illness, of our Fellow and Lecturer in Modern Languages, Robert Baldick. The obituary which
8
PEMBROKE RECORD
appears elsewhere in these pages pays a very proper tribute to his skill and devotion as a tutor, to his brilliant scholarship and to his indomitable energy. We in Pembroke are deeply conscious of his splendid services to the College and its Governing Body, and mourn the loss of a most distinguished colleague. G.W.P.
THE COLLEGE SOCIETY THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING The Annual General Meeting of the Society was held in the Weatherley Room at the College, immediately before the Dinner in Hall, on 1st October, 1971. Mr. J. R. P. O'Brien presided. Reviewing the finances of the Society for the year the Treasurer reported that the rising cost of printing the annual issue of the Record and the Notices had resulted in a deficit of about £40. This had been met from the Society's reserves, but these were slender and the time had come when an approach must be made to the College for an increase in the per capita grant for Life Membership on Matriculation which stood at £2.50. [The Governing Body of the College has since generously raised the figure to £3 as from Michaelmas Term 1971.] The following members of the Committee, due for retirement in 1971 but eligible for re-election, were re-elected for a period of three years: Mr. M. Silverman. Mr. E. H. A. Stretton. Following the resolution passed at the last Annual General Meeting that the membership of the Committee should be widened, a recommendation from the Committee was warmly welcomed and adopted that the following be elected: Mr. G. D. Rather (1958) Mr. J. A. Banks (1959) Mr. L. J. Pike (1959) Mr. G. R. F. Bredin was re-elected Secretary and Treasurer of the Society for the coming year. THE ANNUAL DINNER By invitation of the Master and Fellows, the Society held its Annual Dinner in the College Hall on Friday, October 1st, 1971. 126 Members attended. The Chair was taken by Sir George Sinclair (1931), who proposed the toast of the College in a charming speech of
PEMBROKE RECORD
9
reminiscences which clearly delighted his audience. In the absence of the Master (in America) the Vicegerent (Mr. P. G. Mackesy) read a message of welcome from him and responded to his toast on behalf of the Senior Common Room, as did Mr. C. P. Harrison on behalf of the Middle and Junior Common Rooms. In the course of a most enjoyable evening many requests were made that the Governing Body of the College should be approached with a request to allow the Society to told its Annual Dinner more often in these familiar and well-loved surroundings.

DR. ROBERT BALDICK The following is an extract from the obituary column of The Times of 25th April, 1972: "Dr. Robert Baldick, F.R.S.L., Fellow of Pembroke College, Oxford, died yesterday. He was 44. He was one of the most gifted and versatile scholars in the field of French literature and culture. "Born in Huddersfield on November 9, 1927, of an English father and a French mother, he was educated at Royds Hall Grammar School, and then at the Queen's College, Oxford, where he was a pupil of lain Macdonald, for whom he retained a lasting affection. In 1948 he obtained first class honours in Schools, and stayed on to do research under the aegis of the great Oxford figure Enid Starkie, whose vivacity, humour, enthusiasm and at the same time rigid and exact scholarship were so much in tune with his own approach to his subject and to life. It was she who suggested that he should turn his attention to the French author Huysmans, on whom he produced a remarkable thesis which obtained him his doctorate in 1952. "The book which he produced from this thesis in 1955 was widely acclaimed. Using a wealth of unpublished material, it transformed Huysmans studies by its full portrayal of the man and the author, hitherto a matter more of legend than of fact. "It was while in Paris working on this subject that he met one of the greatest influences on his life, the scholar and bookseller Pierre
12
PEMBROKE RECORD
Lambert. Lambert's wide circle of intellectual and literary friends soon became Baldick's, and this Paris stay was the basis for that even wider acquaintance with French literary circles which became his. "In 1953 he took up a post as assistant lecturer at Glasgow University, but almost immediately he was back in Oxford as a joint lecturer of Pembroke and University Colleges. In 1958 he was made a Fellow of Pembroke College, and Tutor in French. This post he held until his death. He was a most stimulating teacher, whether it was in the tutorial or in the lecture theatre. He had the capacity for arousing great enthusiasm, and for making his pupils feel themselves part of the period with which he was dealing. "The work on Huysmans, published at so young an age, heralded a vast output of publications, all of which gave evidence of the same empathy with French literary society of the nineteenth century. It was fitting that his last book, Dinner at Magny's, should have had on its cover a picture of various French literary figures (Flaubert, George Sand, etc.) at dinner, and that amidst them there should have been the unmistakeable figure of Robert Baldick himself. The most important of these other works were: The Life and Times of Frederic Lemialtre (1962), The Goncourts (1960), The Life of Henry Murger (1961) and The Siege of Paris (1965). At the time of his death he was engaged on a major work on Zola. "A stream of excellent translations came from his pen, including translations from Huysmans, Flaubert, Sartre, Verne, Radiguet, Camus, and many modern authors. In many of these he was helped by his wife Jacqueline. Baldick helped to raise the standard of translations into English; he also helped to raise the status of the translator. As editor of the Oxford Library of French Classics from 1962 to 1967, and as joint editor of Penguin Classics from 1964 onwards, he made sure that translators were paid a proper fee for what is a specialist job, and that the British public was introduced to the best of foreign literatures in translations that respected and did not betray the intentions of the author. "Amid all this, he retained a zest for life which was outstanding in its vigour, humanity and capacity for humour. He was the best possible dining companion, and was with justification Curator of Common Room of his College, acting as host to guests after dinner. He was a brilliant raconteur and at the same time a good listener to others. "Above all, he had a great capacity for friendship. The loss of three of his greatest friends—Pierre Lambert, Enid Starkie and Iain Macdonald—in the last three years had deeply saddened him.

"By his first marriage, to Grace Adlam, he leaves three children, Julian, Christopher and Hilary, and by his second marriage, to Jacqueline Harrison, he leaves two children, Nicholas and Oriel." Bob Baldick's tragically early death has left a dreadful gap in the teaching strength of the College and has deprived his colleagues of the company of a brilliant scholar and much-loved friend. We shall miss him sorely.
R. W. H. DAVIES The following note on R. W. H. Davies, whose death on 13th July, 1970, was reported in last year's Record, has been compiled from an obituary written by Canon J. R. Fox, who was a contemporary of his at Oxford and a life-long friend. R. W. Home Davies was born in 1896 and, after service in the First World War, came up to Pembroke in 1919 from Haileybury as an Oades and Stafford Scholar. He took an Honours degree in Greats besides captaining the College Rugby side and rowing in the Boat. He then joined the Indian Civil Service and, after serving as District Magistrate at Karachi, was appointed District Judge. He undertook assignments as Chief Judge in Aden and Assistant Consul General in Abyssinia, after which he returned to India, spending his last seven years before retirement in 1946 as Judicial Commissioner for the Western Indian State in Baroda. On leaving the I.C.S. Davies retired to Singapore, where he undertook work as Traffic and Marine Magistrate, a post for which his long experience of Court work in the East and his own humanity and understanding admirably fitted him. He finally gave up his legal work in 1958 and returned to Europe. Twelve years later he died at Singapore when on a return visit there. A funeral service was held at the garrison church Tanglin, and his ashes were flown home to be interred in the same grave as his grandfather at Tewkesbury.

PEMBROKE COLLEGE LIBRARY, 1971 Now that the cataloguing of College books is complete, a start has been made on the repair and rebinding of the older ones. A considerable number of leather-bound works were cleaned and polished during the Long Vacation, but a great many need professional attention, after years of neglect. They are being sent to the binders at the rate of a few each month. At the end of Trinity Term, eight undergraduates assisted in a complete check of the library shelves, against the new card-index. It is hoped to make this an annual event so that a check can be kept on losses. The main event of the year was an exhibition on the day of the Old Members' garden party. Items of College interest were displayed in show-cases lent by the Bodleian Library; they were in chronological order with explanatory cards. The old double doors to the Library, closed up about twelve years ago, were re-opened for the occasion, so that visitors might move round in a smooth one-way flow. This arrangement was amply justified by the large number of guests who came. Extra lights had been fitted up, at the request of the security firm who discreetly guarded our treasures for the day. Many visitors expressed delight at the chance to see College possessions they had not even known of in their undergraduate days. M. W. CORDY, Assistant Librarian.

THE CHAPEL All members will be pleased and relieved to learn that the Chapel fabric is at length receiving the attention which it has needed for some time. The exterior of the north wall, which was in a particularly sorry state, is now covered with scaffolding in readiness for
16
PEMBROKE RECORD
the work of the stonemasons. Once the major task is completed the cleaning and renovation of the interior can begin. All this has been made possible by the generosity of an Old Member and his family, Mr. Damon Wells (Pembroke 1961), of Houston, Texas, to whom the College is profoundly grateful. Happily the presence of scaffolding and the boarding-up of the windows does not in any way interfere with our continuing use of the Chapel. The experiment, reported in the last issue of the Record, of introducing boys' voices into the Chapel choir has proved its value. The number of boys has increased and the undergraduates singing the lower parts have given loyal and enthusiastic service. Thanks to the kind invitation of an Old Member, Canon Hearsey, the choir is now looking forward this coming vacation to a fortnight's visit to Nice to sing the Easter services at the Anglican church there. Under the able direction of our choirmaster, Jonathan Katz, and our new Organ Scholar, Michael Turnbull, we may be confident that Pembroke voices will perform more than adequately. J. E. PLATT, Chaplain. PEMBROKE CHAPEL: A HISTORICAL NOTE For over a hundred years after its foundation in 1624 Pembroke, unlike other Oxford Colleges, had no Chapel of its own. Services were held in the south (Docklington's) aisle in St. Aldate's Church, of which the Master and Fellows were then the Patrons. It was only in 1858 that the advowson was sold to the Simeon Trustees for £1,040 in order to help pay off the debt incurred by Master Francis Jeune in the construction of the second quadrangle. When the College abandoned Docklington's aisle the Jacobean panelling of the Master's pew was installed in the parish church of Stanton St. John, where it can still be seen. It was during the mastership of Dr. Panting (1714-1738) that the College, encouraged by a gift of £250 from Bartholomew Tipping (the builder of Chaddleworth Manor) and a legacy of £100 from Dr, Charles Sloper resolved to build itself a Chapel. Among other recorded contributors to the fund were the Earl of Pembroke, the Rev. James Phipps (whose portrait now hangs in Hall), the Master, and the Manciple of the College. The Governing Body itself made a contribution of £375. Research into the somewhat sketchy College accounts of the period shows that the cost of the fabric itself (apart from the foundations) was about £650, to which must be added £100 for carpentry and £67 for the lead on the roof. The accounts also reveal that the builder, as well as the designer of the Chapel, was almost certainly William Townsend, who was the
PEMBROKE RECORD
17
most prominent master-mason of his day in Oxford and worked under Hawksmoor at the Clarendon Buildings, the Queen's College and All Souls. The foundation stone was laid by Bartholomew Tipping and the building, completed in 1732, was consecrated on July 10th of that year by St. John Potter, then Bishop of Oxford. Although Dr. Potter later became Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Hearne, the antiquary, had a very poor opinion of him. "How he can be said to be a modest man," he wrote, "I cannot see, having declined nothing that has been offered him. It looks rather that he is an ambitious, conceited, proud man. But let us not judge." An elegant and well-proportioned building in the classical style, the Chapel was originally without interior embellishment save for the panelling and screen and the marble altar piece. The handsome wooden screen with canopied pews for the Master and Vicegerent, dividing the main part of the Chapel from the ante-chapel bears, as is only fitting, the carved arms of its chief benefactors, Tipping and Sloper. The screen, as well as the pews and panelling, were probably the work of Jeremiah Franklin, who was carpenter to All Souls and was responsible for the woodwork in the Codrington Library. The picture over the altar, a copy by Cranke of part of the mural by Rubens in Antwerp Cathedral, was presented about 1786 by a Fellow-commoner, Mr. Joseph Plymley. The transformation of the interior of the Chapel to its present state was undertaken in 1884 by the Master and Fellows who commissioned Mr. Charles Kempe, himself a member of the College, to submit plans for a scheme of decoration. Readers of the Record to whom the result is familiar may differ in their views as to the suitability of the somewhat highly coloured plaster mouldings on the walls and the deeply stained glass of the windows for inclusion in the fabric of a building of severe Ionic style. Nevertheless there can be no doubt as to the care and diligence with which the decoration was carried out, the high standard of craftsmanship, especially of the windows, and the contemporary approval which greeted the finished work. One of the windows which is illustrated in this issue represents the coming of the Magi and, to remind us of the history of its foundation, includes the royal arms of England and Scotland. The other window illustrated is one of two which were added in 1892 as a memorial to Master Bartholomew Price and are in a slightly different tone. This is the Founder's window in which appear the figures of King James, the Earl of Pembroke with the co-founders, Thomas Tesdale and Richard Wightwick, kneeling on foldstools. In the background is a view of the Front Quadrangle and above that the three golden wheat sheaves representing the artist's (Kempe's) signature. The windows in the ante-chapel are a much later addition, being a memorial to the Pem-
18
PEMBROKE RECORD
broke men who lost their lives in World War I and whose names appear on the panels below. During the Kempe restoration the black and white marble floor was taken up and renewed, the woodwork cleaned and polished, and candles introduced in place of gas only to give way later to electric light. It is to its undergraduate members that the College owes the introduction of music into the Chapel services. In 1893 they presented a petition to the Master and Fellows with the result that the present organ, for which there had been a design in Kempe's original plan, was installed. Some of the woodwork came from the Sheldonian Theatre, including part of Archbishop Sheldon's organ case. In 1906 an offer from Charles Kempe to carry out a refurbishing of the decoration of the Chapel at his own expense was accepted, according to the Convention Book, by a unanimous vote of the Governing Body. Kempe himself died soon afterwards but the undertaking was faithfully carried out by his nephew, Walter Tower. According to the original Statutes of the College, all members were required to attend services daily between five and six o'clock in the morning, a fine of twopence being imposed for absence without good cause or for leaving before the psalms had been sung, while those under eighteen years of age could be "punished with the rod". As time went on, these rigorous rules were progressively relaxed, although insistence on a minimum number of early morning chapel services or alternatively roll-calls was long continued, partly no doubt to discourage late risers. The Convention Book for 1902 contains an order that all undergraduates in residence must attend Sunday matins at 9.30, but the easement went on until, in 1954, a Committee appointed by the Governing Body to go into the question recommended that first year men only should be required to attend Chapel services, and that only on four Sundays during the term. On consideration, however, it was resolved, by a majority vote, that in future all attendance should be voluntary. The deep-rooted affection felt for the Chapel and its traditions was recently manifested by the crowded congregation which attended the Service held before the Pembroke Society dinner in October 1971. In 1958 a grant from the Oxford Historic Buildings Fund enabled the College completely to reface the fabric of the Chapel both on the Brewer Street side and also on the side overlooking the Fellows' garden. Now the scaffolding has gone up round the side facing the quadrangle where the worn stone is being replaced. This last operation has been made possible by a benefaction from a member of the College, Mr. Damon Wells, Jnr., of Houston, Texas, who came up to read Modern History in 1961. His splendid gift includes also provision for the thorough redecoration of the interior so that, when the task has been completed, the Chapel, within and without, will be restored to its full beauty.

I am much indebted to the courtesy and skill of Dr. Savile Bradbury, Fellow of Pembroke, for the photographs which illustrate this account of our Chapel. G.R.F.B. THE MIDDLE COMMON ROOM President: Russell Kraty. Secretary: Ian McGowan. Treasurer: James McLaverty. It is hoped and believed that the M.C.R. has continued to offer its members all that can be achieved within its existing constraints of finance and accommodation. Unfortunately it is difficult to rest assured that if this latter were not more pressing, we would not be able to offer a far more attractive facility to those members who do not at present make use of it. Evidently, this is but a part of a more general problem of how to integrate the graduate of another university—and especially one from overseas—into the existent College community without being able to offer him a period of residence in the College. Whilst in the long term this is surely the most desirable solution, in the short it is necessary to do what we can in the way of offering social facilities and representation, as we have in the past. Two factors have helped us in this. In the first place, the Common Room is now recognised as an autonomous entity—as is appropriate to its size—and not simply as a subsidiary body of our colleagues in the J.C.R. An immediate effect is that it has enabled us to provide members with the additional facility of a small but separate T.V. room, and in the longer period it should help to remove some of our greater financial limitations. Secondly, the S.C.R. has been most generous in regularly inviting graduates to dine with them—a scheme which would seem to have worked excellently—and individual members have made every effort to extend this principle. In this respect we are most fortunate to have a helpful and sympathetic Dean of Graduate Students, to whom many thanks are due. I hope that in time both will help to generate an increasing role for graduate students in the life of the College. The new Committee of the Common Room, recently elected, consists of J. N. O'Sullivan (President), A. Alcock (Secretary) and D. Leadbeater (Treasurer). THE JUNIOR COMMON ROOM President: P. J. Williamson. Secretary: J. A. Forrest. Treasurer: G. A. Curtis. The Junior Common Room enjoyed a quiet year in many respects, providing a contrast to the `colour' of the preceding year. Many facilities were improved, either directly, or through negotiation with
20
PEMBROKE RECORD
the College Authorities. The scouts no longer are 'required' to clean a room on Sundays, although the small majority of undergraduates who wished to maintain Sunday breakfast have had their wishes respected. A new telephone has been installed, in Staircase 10, which relieves the congestion in the J.C.R. booth. The J.C.R. accounts are now professionally audited, making life happier for everyone who has to deal with them. The bar-billiards machine provided free playing for some time in Hilary, during which the J.C.R. managed to `clock-up' over ÂŁ234 in 5p units. As 5p gives about 15 minutes' play, the total time spent on the machine during this period is incredible! Happily a mutual agreement was reached with the owners, and the J.C.R. is not bankrupt. The J.C.R. pantry has new staff, Mrs. Collett having retired at the end of Trinity term. The pantry provides morning coffee and toast, in addition to afternoon tea, providing an alternative breakfast. This feature is becoming attractive, for not only is the coffee available for a much longer period, one can also relax over a newspaper at the same time (a practice seemingly outlawed in Hall! ). The Overseas Student Scholarship Fund was invoked for the first time in several years to provide support for a student of Dacca University, who is without funds due to the political situation. This move had total support from the J.C.R. meeting, and it is possible that the fund will be reinstalled. Finally, it must be mentioned that the J.C.R., in common with most other student organisations, strongly condemns the Government's proposals for the financing of Student Unions, and we would hope that any Old Member of the College, who is in a position of power over this matter, will support our point of view. A new J.C.R. Committee was elected last term. It consists of C. Dunkerley (President), S. M. Hill (Secretary) and J. Blackwell P.J.W. (Treasurer). HERTBROKE BALL 1971 The 1971 Hertbroke Ball was Pembroke's first venture into joint management of a Ball with another Oxford College and, despite the atrocious weather conditions on the night, it was by far the most successful of the three Eights Week Balls, both financially and in terms of enjoyment. There were many reasons for this, one being the good humour of the 1,000 people who turned up and another the four excellent 'name' acts that we had on the bill, Strawns, Rosko, Lindisfarne and Wild Angels. The College Ball will not take place in 1972. 1971 BALL Com mrt FEE: Paul Downie (Pemb.), Paul Ainsley (Hert.), Colin Berry (Hert.),

THE PEMBROKE PLAYERS No theatrical activity has been undertaken by the College in the name of the Pembroke Players since Michaelmas 1971. However, on a University level, Pembroke has been quite active. James Bartholomew won Drama Cuppers in Michaelmas 1971. In Hilary Term he became Treasurer of OUDS and in Trinity Term he directed Pirandello's Henry IV in the Playhouse. This was a joint production between Pembroke, University and Lady Margaret Hall. Last Michaelmas I directed the Michaelmas Minor for ETC. Interestingly the play, The Nuns, by Euardo Manet, had been translated into English by Robert Baldick. This Trinity Term, Pembroke will be producing two plays in the Playhouse. The programme will contain two Victorian melodramas, Sweeney Todd and Maria Marten. James Bartholomew and I will be directing. Disappointingly, in view of last year's success, Pembroke did not take part in last Term's Drama Cuppers. Two Pembroke actors who have been active over the last year are Martin Jones and Vivian Simpson. John Poole, who acted in a Chekhov play last Term, is apparently directing himself next Term. There has been, therefore, a good deal of theatrical activity in Pembroke over the last year; but most of it has taken place through individual initiatives on a University level and not under the auspices of a College organisation. It seems a pity that Pembroke Players should not be resuscitated; at the moment, however, it seems that nobody can spare sufficient time to do so. T. R. D. DALY THE MUSIC SOCIETY First we must lament the departure of Richard Peaver, our last Organ Scholar, who is now teaching in East Anglia. He occasionally returns to Oxford and we are delighted to welcome him in Pembroke. Secondly we extend a warm welcome to Michael Turnbull, into whose very competent hands the College Music Society must pass; his enthusiastic efforts to consolidate the body of musicians obviously herald great things for the future. It has been and is my great pleasure to work with the Chapel-choir and provide a musical backing for College evening services each Sunday. The standard of sing-
22
PEMBROKE RECORD
ing has improved in tone and we have managed a variety of anthems with a service of carols at the end of Michaelmas Term. The efforts of John Platt, the Chaplain, have made our work a pleasure, and the lively and accurate organ-accompaniment of the Organ Scholar has been a delight to all concerned. I am grateful to the Arts Committee for subsidising a pleasant musical evening in the Master's Lodgings, when a recital of chamber works was played by Dr. Bradbury and two visiting musicians from other Colleges. Inevitably this kind of concert can accommodate only a small audience, but it is to be hoped that performances on a larger scale will be undertaken by the two men now reading music in the first year. J. B. KATZ THE BLACKSTONE SOCIETY Officers (1970-71): President: N. Hall. Secretary: J. R. A. Duckworth. Treasurer: R. J. M. Mellor. Officers (1971-72): President: A. P. Russell. Secretary: R. P. Lewis. Treasurer: W. R. Maliszewski. "Wider still and wider, shall our bounds be set." Such was the mood of the ever-progressive, forward-thrusting body of members of the Society at the first meeting of the academic year. Seeing no reason for confining true enjoyment of the Law to students of Jurisprudence, the Society resolved to encourage all members of the College, whatever their academic pursuits, to discuss the Law in the pleasantest manner possible. The Treasurer was therefore empowered to increase substantially the Society's quota of wine, port, and sherry, a prospect to which several members spontaneously raised their glasses. The plan for the year was to invite speakers whose interests were touched upon, but not necessarily engulfed by, the legal process. In December a talk was given on the subject "Drugs and the Law" by a speaker from 'Release', an organisation formed to give assistance to persons charged with drug offences. A lively discussion ensued, and widely differing sentiments were heard to be expressed on the subject by various members of the audience. Much the same could be said of the first meeting of Hilary Term, at which the Society was addressed by a speaker from the National Council for Civil Liberties on the subject of "The Citizen and the Law". Both citizens and lawyers were well represented in the audience, and a notable number
PEMBROKE RECORD
23
of the latter were heard enthusiastically to espouse the cause of the former, which is, of course, as it should be. Lest such diversity of subject matter had alienated those members whose interest lay in the law and in nothing else, our next speaker was Dr. Alan Rodger, of New College, an envoy from a northern Province. He spoke on "Scots Lawâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a guide for Sassenachs". Through his cunning skill in distinguishing cases, Dr. Rodger proved that the entire English law of tort is in fact governed by Scottish precedents, contrary to what we had all thought. The Annual Dinner took place in May. The guests were Mr. William Palfrey, Chief Constable of Lancashire, the Master, Dr. Rodger and Mr. Eekelaar. Mr. Palfrey had recently marched at the head of a procession through the streets of Leeds in a defiant gesture against the Permissive Society, and his speech proved to be a roaring battlecry of the counter revolution. The President replied on behalf of the Society, and the Secretary proposed the toast of the Guests, to which Dr. Rodger responded. N.H. THE CAMDEN SOCIETY The Camden Society began the New Year with a talk by Sir Evelyn Shuckburgh, a former British Ambassador to Rome and to N.A.T.O., who is now head of the Red Cross in England. He spoke on "Current trends in European Politics" and succeeded in polarising opinion between pro-Europeans and pro-Americans in the audience. During the term we also entertained Professor Angermann, a visiting Professor from Cologne; John Stevenson of Nuffield, who spoke on "English Bread Riots 1795-1800", and John Walsh of Jesus who talked to us on "Methodism and the mob in the eighteenth century". The Society's Annual Dinner was also held at Pembroke in Hilary Term with Richard Cobb of Balliol as our guest speaker. The Presidents for this term were David English for Pembroke and Katherine Young for Somerville. In Trinity Term Robin Briggs gave us a paper on "Witchcraft and magic in the sixteenth and seventeenth century" and Penry Williams of New College spoke on "Tudor Rebellions" ranging from Wyatt's rising against Queen Mary to a four-man demonstration of 1596 in Oxfordshire which also caused government alarm. We also heard Beryl Smalley on "Doubt and disbelief in the Middle Ages" and James Campbell of Worcester on "Carolingian England". The latter gave us some intriguing information on the origin of the English shires and the independence of Berwick-on-Tweed. The copresidents for Trinity Term were Stephen Potts and Rowena Loverance. The new intake of undergraduates were welcomed at a party in
24
PEMBROKE RECORD
the Browning Room at the beginning of Michaelmas Term. Four meetings were held this term. Professor Peter Mathias gave us a very varied evening with a talk on Trade Tokens, illustrating his remarks with examples and slides. John Maddicott of Exeter gave us a paper on "Corruption, violence and disorder in early fourteenth century England", and John Stoye of Magdalen gave us his thoughts on "The frontier between Turks and Christians". Finally Karl Leyser of Magdalen spoke on "Otto I and his Saxon enemies", concluding the year's activities for the Society. The joint Presidents for Michaelmas Term were David Carney for Pembroke and Rowena Loverance for Somerville. We have managed to maintain a comparatively large number of meetings, running at between four and five a term throughout the year on a variety of matters of historical and even current interest while also generating that intimate atmosphere which I feel only a College Society can provide. DAVID CARNEY THE TEASEL CLUB Steward, Hilary and Trinity Term 1971: D. A. H. Griffiths. Michaelmas Term 1971: A. B. Graham. Secretary: C. F. P. Wyndham. Treasurer: J. 0. Dick. The College 'Convention Book' tells us that the Teasel Club was approved by the Master and Fellows in March 1922. 1972, therefore, marks its 50th anniversary; and the Club would be grateful if past members who would consider attending a Golden Jubilee Dinner to be held in Oxford in Trinity Term would write to the Secretary, C. F. P. Wyndham, Esq., Pembroke College. The most successful event of 1971 was a dinner in Hilary Term, held at the "Sorbonne" Restaurant. M. Chavagnon provided interesting fare at an interesting price; and we were graced with the brief presence of the Master and Lady Pickering, who had been dining in an adjoining room and came in to wish us well. Under the influence of Kipper Mousse and lots of Taylor '33 port kindly donated by Mr. Andrew Graham, some members proceeded to raid a St. Clare's Hostel in the Woodstock Road. The evening was reported in Cherwell, and bail was refused. (The Judge could find no precedent for Mr. Charles Moore's "Dawg Style" impressions.) Other events included supper and drinks during the PembrokeHertford Ball; and a Cocktail Party in the Michaelmas Term, for which thanks must be given to those people who allowed the Club to use their rooms. A further 'event' was the marriage in America of Mr. Michael Ponsor. The Club sends commiserations to him; and
PEMBROKE RECORD

also to last year's Steward, who is languishing in the wilds of La Roche-sur-Yon in an `Ecole Normale'. The Calendar for next term reads: "Boef aux champignons" for twenty in a Lyon's Corner House, followed by a floor show at the "Talk of the Town". The party will travel incognito by minibus. J. R.

ST. FRIDESWIDES SOCIETY President: M. A. Ponsor.
Secretary: J. R. Chapman.
It was fortunate for the Society that we had a medieval English scholar—albeit, an American—as our President this year. Not only did he teach some of us to master our beloved patron Saint's name, but he also gave us the benefits of his learning to fathom her deep secrets. St. Frideswide (so our President informed us) was a Saxon princess of great virtue. Her mortification of the flesh, her chastity and her preference for barley bread, roots and water coupled with her practice of sleeping on the side walk (our President again) when she was not doubled up in prayer, was an example to us less worthy members of Pembroke College. Apparently, she fled to Oxford circe A.D. 730, hotly pursued by a lusty young blade, one Algar, King of Leicestershire. Algar, through some heavenly intervention, was struck blind when he caught her in Headington woods, flagrante delicto. Unaware that such heinous crimes should and can bring divine retribution, Algar decided to relent. Perhaps he was relieved that only his eyes had been struck by the thunderbolt. Our paragon of virtue—her honour still intact—forgave King Algar for his indiscretion and cured his blindness with a prayer. As you can gather, loud was the praise for such a Christian act. Cities, cathedrals, churches and even Dining Societies clamoured to adopt blessed Frideswide as their patron saint. As for poor Algar, not even the monkish chroniclers followed him out of Headington woods. It must be admitted that after hearing this edifying story, a certain rebel faction in our Society were keen to adopt Algar—no doubt in chauvinistic sympathy—and replace St. Frideswide as our patron. But, I am glad to relate that good sense and decency prevailed. In honour of our blessed princess-cum-saint, the Society dined at `The Old Swan', Minster Lovell; wined at Ilythecroft', Eynsham— of which less said the better—and partook of hock, strawberries and cream in the Master's garden. To round off the year in a scholarly style, our President dipped
26
PEMBROKE RECORD
into his medieval documents to pay tribute to our worthy St. Frideswide: Swithe geong wis welthungen, naes hid huah swa theak he to gneath gifa leodun [very young wise, well taught, not recalcitrant nor too sparing of gifts to men.] J.R.C.
THE BRIDGE CLUB The highlight of the year for College Bridge is, without doubt, the "Cuppers" competition. This year Pembroke put in a strong first team of: Simon Davies, Adrian Smith, Tim Green, and Tony Hodgson, with Mike Gordon as a very capable reserve. Unfortunately after comfortably cruising through the opening rounds, we were defeated (or rather "fixed") by Balliol II, all the damage being done in the last four boards by four 4-1 breaks. Prospects for 1972 are bleak, to say the least, since three of the first team members left at the end of the last academic year, but we are hoping to "rectify the count" by putting three teams in for "Cuppers" and thus giving match-practice to anyone willing to play.

In Hilary Term, a dinner was held in the Weatherley Room, after which Dr. Buffery of the Psychology Department gave a talk entitled "Sex on the Brain". His main point was that because of the structure of the female brain women were verbally more proficient than men, yet more inhibited in other ways. Not all members of the Society were convinced and an interesting discussion followed. The other dinner held during the year was in Trinity Term. Afterwards Dr. Harry Charlton addressed the Society on "Ovulation" and his wit and knowledge of the subject, coupled with the great interest the members of the Society displayed, led to a long and animated discussion. If future meetings are as well attended as this dinner and the conversation remains as lively, the Nuffield Society will continue to prosper. R.N.T. THE DARKROOM For the last five or six years, Pembroke has enjoyed the luxury of its own undergraduate darkroom, which is now widely used by members of O.U.P.S. and student publications enabling Pembroke men to use it free of charge. Improvement of facilities is thought unnecessary at the moment as existing equipment is capable of high quality results when correctly used. The worst problem tends to be the dampness of the Oxford climate, which has badly rusted some equipment over the last few years. J. R. SKEELS SPORTING ACTIVITIES RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB
Captain: P. M. D. Shires. This year has not seen a great deal of success for the Rugby Club. In the Hilary Term, despite winning the majority of our fixtures and beating St. John's in the 2nd Round of Cuppers (we had a bye for the 1st Round), we lost to an extremely powerful Merton/ Mansfield team, containing 3 Blues, and we met them again in the 1st Round this term. The Michaelmas Term saw an ignominious departure from the 2nd Division without a match being won, although we did come close on occasions. Without delving into the reasons for this situation I would place part of the blame on the fact that there are too few people in Pembroke willing to play games, the Hockey Club being the only Club able to put out a consistently good team. This means that, although one can usually field a full team, it is nearly always sub-standard.

PEMBROKE RECORD
Some individual performances should be mentioned: Alastair Morley, who played for the Blues team during the Hilary Term on two occasions; Richard Adams, who represented the University against Stanley's XV and ran the line in the Varsity Match; Bill Maddock, who played for the Freshmen's Greyhounds. My thanks too to Rhys Torrington, Adrian Wakefield and John Harrison, who had to put up with a lot. P.M.D.S. BOAT CLUB Captain: D. G. Nasmyth. Treasurer: J. Blackett. 1971 proved to be a very successful year for the Boat Club, which was due largely to the efforts of the Captain, Roger Chapman, and the strong committee he had supporting him. This success was most manifest in the enthusiasm that was generated within the Club, and it is a pity that the achievements of crews in the lower divisions were not matched by the 1st VIII. However, despite the disappointments, there were moments when things went very well and good foundations have been laid down for the future. Three crews rowed in Torpids and the pride of place went to the 3rd VIII, who managed to go up eleven places in four days and earn themselves a commendation in the Daily Telegraph rowing report. The 1st and 2nd VIIIs, whose performance did not quite reach the heights of the 3rd VIII, fared better than in the previous year, the 2nd VIII doing better than the 1st VIII to the extent that there are now only two boats separating them. During the summer a record number of 6 VIIIs were on the river and no less than 5 of these rowed in Eights Week. Again the main honours went to the 3rd VIII, who got a bump every day. The 1st VIII started well by bumping St. Edmund Hall II, but were not quite fast enough to catch Trinity on the Thursday, and were therefore bumped themselves on the following days. The height of the season for the 1st VIII was undoubtedly at Hereford Regatta, where they got to the final of Novice VIIIs and were very unlucky to lose to a strong crew from King's School, Worcester. Our thanks must go to Paul Farnham, who put in a lot of hard work and sacrificed a lot of his time in coaching the 1st VIII. The new academic year brought an influx of Freshmen to the Club, who rowed hard all the Term, enabling two Novice VIIIs to enter for Christ Church Regatta. One of these crews acquitted itself very well, beating crews from both Christ Church and Hertford before going down to St. Edmund Hall. Four more experienced oarsmen rowed in both the Coxless Fours and the Coxed Fours event at Christ Church Regatta putting up a good performance in both. D.G.N.

Top of the list in 1971 must go in congratulations to Adrian Robinson, who was awarded a well-deserved Blue when he took his place in the Oxford side which played Cambridge as wicketkeeper and opening batsman. In addition to Adrian, Pembroke could also boast Dave Bryant, who only just failed to make the final Blues side after playing several times in the Parks. Dave Stevens was a regular member of the Authentics and Nick Stenning and Mike Shires also played for them. The College team had a mixed season, chiefly memorable for a fine win over Jesus College, Cambridge, and a close, if disappointing, defeat at the hands of St. Edmund Hall in Cuppers. Prospects for 1972 are good with most of last year's team still available. However, support from the Freshmen will be most important, and it is hoped that there will be a sufficient number of new players to provide a good nucleus for all College matches. CLIVE EDGINTON, Captain 1972 HOCKEY CLUB Captain: Nick Stenning. Secretary: Robert Farquharson. In the Hilary Term the Hockey Club claimed an unbeaten record in the League and thus, after several vain attempts in recent years, achieved promotion into the 2nd Division. This was due mainly to the breadth of talent that was available rather than individual skills â&#x20AC;&#x201D;though D. J. Stevens and N. J. S. Stenning were Occasionals. The Michaelmas Term League began with a discouraging performance in the Six-a-Side competition, but after this we have managed to mould a very competent side and were unlucky to lose to Keble in the second round of Cuppers. Despite some slight cancellations during this Term, and a total absence of umpires, a coherent side is beginning to emergeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;based largely on the centre-half, Richard Slator. If the general keenness does not become drowned in Christmas alcohol we should be more than able to hold our own in Division II. R.F. LAWN TENNIS CLUB Trinity Term 1971 Captain: R. E. N. Bradfield. Secretary: R. C. Boning. With a considerable portion of this year's team involved in Schools, a repeat success in the First Division proved impossible. However,

PEMBROKE RECORD
while our performance there was competent, in Cuppers it was distinguished. Having reached the semi-final stage we were forced to bow out to Trinity, the favourites, it being impossible to raise a team at that juncture. R. E. N. Bradfield, R. C. Boning, B. P. Shirlaw, D. J. Stevens, J. Hays, T. King and R. Farquharson played at various times. R.C.B. REAL TENNIS The following is an extract from a report published in the Daily Telegraph on 22nd March, 1972: "Oxford completed victory in the University match at Queen's Club, beating Cambridge by two rubbers to one after yesterday's singles, having won the Doubles on Tuesday. "The honours of the match belonged to the Oxford first string, Charles Moore (University of Pennsylvania and Pembroke), probably the best American real tennis player at either university for many years. "Moore demolished John Willcocks (Clifton and Trinity) 6-1, 6-0, 6-1 and concentrated all his play on the floor without attacking the winning openings or side galleries. He led numerous short chases and was in a far higher class than his opponent, a good fighter but very inexperienced." SQUASH C1UB Captain: A. R. Morley. Secretary: R. C. Boning. Cuppers 1971 saw the College into the third round, but lack of a really good player to take the onus off the rest would have helped us on further. In the League we have still to fight for our place in the 3rd Division against a challenge from Division 4. V. Harding, a graduate student, will add strength to our efforts in Cuppers next Term. R.C.B. TABLE TENNIS Captain: R. J. Rees. Secretary: T. W. Shaw. The 70-71 season ended in Hilary Term 1971 on a more successful note than was at first expected. The 1st team drew their last match to stay up in Division I. The 2nd and 4th teams also avoided relegation by one point, only the 3rd team being relegated to Division VI.

In Cuppers we beat Oriel 5-4 in the first round, but went out to Worcester by the same score in the second round. This season, 71-72, we have only retained three teams, because of the problems involved in raising four teams per week. The 1st team has only one win to its credit so far, but it has played the two best teams in the Division and the rest of the season should be easier. The 2nd team is doing very well, with three wins behind them, whereas the 3rd team is struggling hard in Division VI and it looks as if they may be relegated for the second season running. T.W.S. CHESS Pembroke College was a few years ago very active as a chessplaying College, notably for the achievements of its team in the inter-College "Cuppers" knock-out tournament. In the past two years, however, organisation of events along College lines has broken down within the University, and anybody feeling the urge for a game would be advised to go along to the club meetings of the University Chess Club, held each Tuesday evening during Term in Christ Church. If scattered individuals could be mustered, however, Pembroke College Past and Present would form quite a formidable team. Andrew Whiteley continues to occupy a high place in the British Chess Federation grading lists, but his prospects of advancement at the international level are hampered by commitments to his legal practice. Another member of the College was fortunate enough to receive an invitation to the Hastings Grandmaster Tournament held over the New Year period. Critics have been rather hard on the performance of the British players in this tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;too hard in view of the strength of the foreign players invited. Tournament organisers in this country have not yet come to appreciate that if they really want to see more English players join Ray Keene amongst the ranks of the International Masters, then they must try to select rather over-rated foreign competitors. A disingenuous procedure, indeed, but other countries do it, e.g. Greece, a far weaker chess-playing country than England, has qualified more I.M.s in the past decade than England has. George Botterill could not be satisfied with his score of 6 points out of a possible 15 at Hastings, well behind the winners, Karpov and Korchnoi (U.S.S.R.), who each scored 11. Since only one other member of the British contingent made as many as 6 points, however, the result should, if anything, confirm his place in the English Team. Tim Harding has had some excellent results since he left Oxford to do a D.Phil. at Birmingham: 2nd in a powerful section of the Wijk-aan-Zee Tournament in Holland during January, and 1st with a clean score (5 out of 5) in a recent open weekend event. Moreover,

he is going to add to the great number of these fast time-limit events that have sprung up in the last five or six years by introducing a Birmingham University Open in the Yugoslav "Blitzovich" style of one hour per player per game. All good fortune to such schemes! G.S.B. BADMINTON CLUB Captain: M. H. Gordon. Secretary: K. Osborne. After reaching the giddy heights of being runners-up in the First Division in 1969/70, the Badminton Team found itself somewhat out of its depth during 1970/71 and was relegated without winning a match. Prospects for the future look much brighter in the Second Division, where the experience and enthusiasm of the remaining members of the Team should be sufficient to ensure some good results. M.H.G. DARTS CLUB Captain: N. A. Smith. Although the Darts Club won the three matches it played during Hilary Term 1971, the Club had a disappointing Michaelmas Term and none of the team ever seemed to find their usually consistent good form. A heavy loss was sustained in the first match of Term against the Quarrygate, a public house at Headington; since this Team are champions of the local League this was not surprising, but through the course of the Term the Club lost its unbeaten record against other College Clubs, being beaten at Balliol 8-7 and at Keble 7-6. St. Catherine's, however, provided us with a win 7-6 both times we played them, at home and away. At present the Club has just about enough support to mean that fixtures can be arranged and kept, but unless more support is forthcoming the Club will undoubtedly suffer in the 1972/3 season, when a large number of the present members will have other commitments.

THE COLLEGE STAFF There must be very few readers of the Record to whom George Dawson is not a figure connected inseparably with recollections of their undergraduate years at Pembroke and one whom they much look forward to meeting again at College reunions. He joined the College in 1919 and on 31st December, 1971, 52 years later, this near lifetime of service drew to its close. His 50th year in office was celebrated by a presentation from the College, and on its conclusion last year the B.B.C. broadcast an interview with him from its Oxford station. It is good to know that this long connection has not been completely severed, for George Dawson is still carrying on part-time work at the College on guest nights and special lunches and any function for which Pembroke men gather in numbers. The warmth of the greeting which he gets from all our members on these occasions is a measure not only of the affection in which he is held but of their appreciation of his long service to Pembroke carried out in G.R.F.B. the highest traditions of the College.
