MASTER'S NOTES Dame Lynne Brindley DBE

to the new Pembroke Record. The old College Record and Annual Report showcased the richness of life at the College and beyond, as well as providing an official account of the preceding year and a record of those members who had passed on. This new publication will combine all of this and will, in addition, formally recognise and thank our donors.

4yelcome

Now well into my second year as Master of Pembroke, I can reflect on my first impressions of the College, and my expectations on taking up the role of Master. I am pleased to say that my expectations have not merely been met, but surpassed — the warmth and friendliness of the community, the enthusiasm and dedication of the students, and the pride and pleasure that academic and non-academic staff alike take in their work inspires me daily. There is a continuing high pace of activity, and a shared determination to move forward in a focused, supportive and intellectually driven way. It is a great pleasure and a privilege to be part of such a lively and ambitious College. I tell Freshers when they arrive to make the most of their time as the terms go by very quickly, yet having completed my first year as Master, I myself am still getting used to how quickly each term flies by — the pace and intensity of each day, and the distinctive rhythm of each term.

Much of the past year has been spent familiarising myself with the workings of the College, becoming acquainted with the events special to each term and getting to know the Fellows, students and staff. I have been eager to meet as many of our network of alumni as possible: at events in College — Gaudies, the Annual Alumni dinner, Donor Receptions and other special occasions — and in London — the Annual Reception and City Breakfasts. This past year I have travelled to Hong Kong, Singapore, New York and Palo Alto, and I am making plans for further travel in 2015. I was struck by how supportive and committed our alumni network is, with everyone eager to hear about their College, its developments and new aspirations.

We were sorry at the end of this academic year to bid farewell to Professor Ken Mayhew, Fellow in Economics, who retired in September after 38 years of service. Professor Mayhew's remarkable contribution to the College is noted on p4. We shall

all look forward to the full tributes which will follow in next year's Record.

Pembroke's Access scheme, led by our Access Fellow, Dr Peter Claus, continues to thrive and inspire: our scheme is at the forefront of access and outreach work within the University.

Indeed, the Central University team has taken a great interest in the Pembroke model and other Colleges are looking to see how our scheme can be adopted and adapted by them. The effectiveness of the deep academic immersion model is recognised by key policy-makers across the UK and beyond.

Looking ahead, this academic year sees Pembroke reviewing and refreshing its strategy for the next ten years, taking the College up to its 400rh anniversary in 2024. Our future directions are coming more clearly into focus. Pembroke now has an excellent infrastructure in its buildings and facilities and we are all enjoying the new opportunities they afford: from informal meetings and coffee in Farthings Cafe through to our distinguished lectures in the The Pichette Auditorium, planned exhibitions in the exquisite Art Gallery, and, much to the delight of undergraduates, the opportunity to live in College for their whole time in Oxford.

It is our aim to foster Pembroke as a vibrant academic and research community, striving for excellence at all levels, and creating greater integration between our undergraduates, graduates, research staff and Fellowship, as well as with our alumni. We are returning again to focus on Pembroke's `intellectual capital', in order to enhance all aspects of the academic experience.

Our fundraising efforts will be focused on supporting and promoting academic excellence; indeed, an initiative is already underway to provide the College with more graduate scholarships, to help us attract the best doctoral candidates.

Over the next ten years it must be our ambition to move from being a financially stable and well-managed community — a huge achievement of the past decade — towards being a financially sustainable College in the long term, particularly through increasing our endowment levels substantially by 2024.

WELCOME TO COLLEGE DR ANDREW BALDWIN

DR JUSTIN JONES

Tutor in Physical and Theoretical Chemistry

Tutor in the Study of Religion

Dr Andrew Baldwin is a Lecturer in Physical Chemistry whose main research focuses on understanding how the structure and dynamics of biomolecules gives rise to their various behaviours inside cells, and how these go wrong in the case of disease.

He tutors the Pembroke undergraduate Chemists in Physical Chemistry.

Andrew studied for his undergraduate degree at Trinity College, Cambridge, which was rapidly followed by a PhD as a Research Scholar. He used nuclear magnetic resonance techniques (NMR) to study how certain protein molecules form aggregates termed camyloid', which are associated with a range of neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. He then moved to the University of Toronto to continue his training in a more specialised laboratory as a Postdoctoral Fellow, first for the European Molecular Biology Organisation and then for the Canadian Institute of Health Research. In Toronto, he developed a range of experimental methods that make it possible to study exceedingly high molecular weight molecules.

Andrew came to Oxford in 2012 as a Fitzjames Fellow of Merton, and as a Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council David Phillip's Research Fellow, to set up his research group in Oxford. He received the Harrison Meldola medal from the Royal Society of Chemistry in 2013.

Given the increasing prevalence of neurodegenerative disorders in our aging population, this area remains critical. His focus remains on developing and applying mass spectrometry and electron microscopy techniques to study the structure and dynamics of biomedically relevant molecules.

Dr Justin Jones joined Pembroke in 2014 as Tutorial Fellow in Theology. He has been appointed within the Faculty of Theology and Religion. Justin studied Theology at the other Pembroke College (Cambridge!), before taking up a postdoctoral Fellowship in Cambridge, followed by five years in the History Department at the University of Exeter. He now looks forward to the (many) challenges of life at Oxford.

Justin's research relates to Islam in the modern world, with a particular focus on India and Pakistan. He has worked extensively within Islamic religious organisations and seminaries in the subcontinent, and has authored a number of books, articles and other writings. His first book, Shia Islam in Colonial India:• Religion, Community and Sectarianism (Cambridge University Press, 2012) was an attempt to examine Shi`a Islam in a region with which it is not usually associated. As well as charting Shi`a religious revivalism, the book explores the deterioration of Shia-Sunni relations in the modern world. Justin is currently working on a big new project concerning the relationship between Islamic law and the state in South Asia, looking at issues including the political involvements of Muslim leaders, and the formation of Islamic courts.

Justin's appointment complements Pembroke's distinguished history in the study of Islam, and he hopes to establish Pembroke as a natural destination for students wanting to apply for Theology, as well as joint degrees with associated subjects such as Oriental Studies.

DR TIM WOOLLINGS

PROFESSOR ANDREW ORCHARD

Fellow by Special Election (Physics)

Rawlinson and Bosworth Professor of Anglo Saxon

Tim Woollings has joined Pembroke as a Fellow by Special Election in Physics. Tim is an Atmospheric Physicist who specialises in atmospheric dynamics and general circulation.

Tim did an undergraduate degree in Maths at Oxford and then went to the Department of Meteorology in Reading where he completed his PhD and worked for eight years as a postdoc, National Environment Research Council Research Fellow and then Lecturer.

Tim's research centres on the jet streams and associated storm tracks which define much of the weather and climate variability in middle latitudes. A particular focus in recent years has been on how the storm tracks will respond to climate change. Tim's work has shown that changes in ocean circulation, as well as Arctic sea ice, will shape the changes in the Atlantic storm track which is directed towards Europe. Other projects examine topics such as the dynamics underlying high-impact blocking weather patterns and the natural variability of the jet streams.

Tim acted as Contributing Editor for three chapters of the recent Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. He was awarded the 2012 LF Richardson Prize by the Royal Meteorological Society and the 2013 University of Oslo Inspiration award, for his work on Atlantic jet variability. He currently supervises three PhD students and one postdoc, and has recently secured funding for three more postdocs to work on European climate variability.

PROFESSOR KEN MAYHEW Tutor in Economics

4 THE PEMBROKE RECORD

Professor Andrew Orchard, Rawlinson and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon, is delighted to return to Oxford (and to Pembroke where he was taught by both his immediate predecessors) after 22 years away. He was previously an undergraduate in Oxford at Exeter and a Junior Research Fellow at St John's.

In the interim, Andrew spent nine years in Cambridge, finishing his time there as Reader and Head of Department in Anglo-Saxon, Norse, and Celtic, and then thirteen years as Professor of English and Medieval Studies in Toronto, where he was successively Director of the Centre for Medieval Studies and Provost and Vice Chancellor of Trinity College. He is currently an Executive Editor of the journals Anglo-Saxon England (CUP) and Notes and Queries (OUP), as well as on the Editorial Boards of the Journal of Medieval Latin (Brepols) and the Dumbarton Oaks Medieval Library (Harvard). He is also the Founding Editor of Toronto Anglo-Saxon Studies and Toronto Old Norse-Icelandic Studies (both UTP). His books include The Elder Edda: a Book of Viking Lore; A Critical Companion to Beowulf' Cassell Dictionary of Norse Myth and Legend; Pride and Prodigies: Studies in the Monsters of the 'Beowulf' Manuscript; and The Poetic Art of Aldhelm.

Andrew has supervised more than forty doctoral dissertations to completion, on both sides of the Atlantic, and was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 2012. He comments, "It's good to be back!"

Emeritus Fellow Professor Ken Mayhew retired from College on 30th September 2014. As Pembroke's Senior Fellow, who has been at College since his election in 1976, his departure marks the end of an era. Events are planned to mark his retirement, including a dinner with the Fellows and a further event with some of his former students. Peer tributes will be published in the Pembroke Record 2014 — 2015.

ACADEMIC REPORT DR MARK FRICKER, ACADEMIC DIRECTOR

A CLEAR ACADEMIC FOCUS This year has seen solid recognition of our Fellows' achievements and, following the effort and resource invested in the new buildings which not only house our students, but also provide an improved physical environment for debate, events and study, the future direction and positioning of the College is coming into focus.

Three of the College's Fellows received the title of full Professor in recognition of their excellent record in research, teaching and good citizenship. Christopher Melchert was appointed as Professor of Arabic and Islamic studies, Jonathan Rees as Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery and Musculoskeletal Science, and Stephen Tuck as Professor of Modern History. The University also established the appellation of Associate Professor for all academics with tenure, or those on tenure track positions.

Several Fellows published books which chimed with the wider community. These included Professor Helen Small's The Value of the Humanities — nominated by Universities Minister, David Willets, as one of his 'most inspirational reads' for 2013 — and A War of Peoples 1914 — 1919 by Dr Adrian Gregory, published to coincide with the WWI Centenary Year. Dr Gregory also acted as historical advisor to the BBC for the documentary series Britain's Great War and has been a frequent speaker on the subject throughout the year.

(graduate) Farthing Scholarships in Law in perpetuity from the generous legacy left by Peter Farthing (1968). We also appointed new Junior and Senior Research Fellows (JRFs and SRFs) to strengthen support for talented post-doctoral researchers and link them into the College community.

This September Professor Ken Mayhew retired as our longest serving Fellow after 38 years. Ken is a leader in the field of research into skills, knowledge and organisational performance, and a superb tutor. Generations of Pembrokians have benefited from his consummate teaching skills, ineffable supply of anecdotes, and acerbically witty reflections on the state of the nation, or indeed, many nations.

Praise is also due to the student body. Charlotte Farrar (2013, Medicine) was joint runner up for the Martin Wronker Prize in Medicine; Constantin Giurgiu (2011, Chemistry) won the GlaxoSmithKline Prize in Practical Organic Chemistry; Wazir Khan (2013, Diplomatic Studies) was awarded the Ralph Feltham Prize for best dissertation; Fitzroy Morrissey (2010, Oriental Studies) won the James Mew Senior Prize, and the Joseph Schacht Memorial Prize; Kishan Patel (2011, MSc Maths) won the Hansjoerg Wacker Prize in Mathematics; whilst one of our first graduates in Physics, Becky Smethurst (2013, Astrophysics) was runner up in the UK grand finals of the FameLab competition.

Dr Hannah Smithson, Fellow in Psychology, is Co-Investigator for the Ordered Universe Project which was shortlisted for the 2014 Times Higher Education Award for Research Project of the Year (see report on the Mahfouz Forum, coordinated by Hannah, on p9).

Dr Elisabeth Kendall, Senior Research Fellow, (also featured on p8) received recognition for her work with governments and the UN in Egypt and Yemen, and a full feature on her work was included in the Times Higher Education magazine.

Our Fellowship was bolstered by the appointment of Dr Justin Jones who replaced Dr Torkel Brekke as Fellow in Theology in April. Future appointments include that of Dr Guy Kahane, who is taking up a Tutorial Fellowship in Philosophy in 2014-2015 and Dr Henrietta Harrison, who will take up the Stanley Ho Fellowship in Chinese in 2015. We will further be in a position to appoint a new Fellow in Economics in 2015, following a generous endowment by Chris Rokos (1989), who has also funded two Career Development Fellowships, and two graduate scholarships as a complete package to support Economics.

A new programme of Graduate Scholarships is being established, with generous support from a number of alumni, which more than doubles the number of awards the College can give and ensures that we will attract some of the best graduate students in the University. The College established two fully-funded

Our two research centres based in the College, the Human Rights for Future Generations Hub (HRFG) and the Changing Character of War (CCW) Centre, have both had an excellent year. HRFG have continued to sponsor, research and explore the latest thinking on human rights, whilst CCW are at the forefront of exploring new concepts relating to the doctrine of warfare, working with military, political and academic leaders in their fields.

alumni would wish to be — the reputation of the entire College community suffers. What, then, is an appropriate response by the College?

The College continues to develop an increasingly sophisticated outreach programme and discussions are underway with the Oxford University Admissions Office to establish our model as the standard across Oxford. In addition to the activity outlined on p14, Dr Nicholas Cole, one of our SRFs, has introduced a six session online pre-arrival course as an introduction to the Oxford style of essay writing and critical reading of texts. Piloted for the History Freshers this year, it will be rolled out for all subjects in 2015.

Despite all these exciting new ventures, Finals performance still presented a challenge. The majority of students engage fully with their subjects, work hard and gain good degrees — they fully deserve congratulation and should be proud of their achievements.

Pembrokians won eight Gibbs prizes, for best performance in a Public Examination within the University, along with a host of other awards and prizes. Within this successful group, I would also include some of the students who attained notionally lower degrees, but who battled with difficult personal circumstances, and deserve credit for their grit and determination to complete tough courses. Nevertheless, over the last few years a small cohort of students has not achieved full academic potential, and in 2014 the College's Norrington ranking plummeted. This is not where the Fellows, existing students, future applicants, or the

We set out clear academic expectations to all new students at the start of the year to embed an appropriate academic ethos in every activity across the College and are reviewing each subject with the Tutors to identify elements of best practice that can enhance student performance, and build the foundations for a more vibrant academic community. About half of the subjects have re-activated relatively dormant (academic) student societies, and now have joint seminar programmes running with participation from undergraduates and graduates. We have linked the Scholars Dinner to an annual lecture, given this year by Professor Irene Tracey, Director of the FMRIB (Functional MRI of the Brain) Centre. There will be a graduate research fair in Autumn 2015 to showcase the best Doctoral research in the MCR in The Pichette Auditorium, and an Academic Careers Fest to complement the existing City and Industry alumni event.

These are all promising initiatives, but we also have to be aware that we are in an immensely competitive environment with other Oxford Colleges that are also striving for excellence. Over the next ten years Pembroke will need to invest significantly in a programme of continuous improvement if we wish to remain competitive. Setting out both the vision and the detailed planning for this is the subject of our current strategic planning work.

ACADEMIC EVENTS AT COLLEGE THISYEAR

4TH ANNUAL OXFORD DISTINGUISHED FULBRIGHT LECTURE The fourth in this series of highly successful University public lectures was given on 23rd May by Nobel Laureate Professor Joseph Stiglitz to a large audience in The Pichette Auditorium, followed by a reception and dinner, once again kindly sponsored by Brian Wilson (1948). The event was supported by the Fulbright Commission, the US Embassy and the Lois Roth Endowment. ,

4

Professor Stiglitz took as his theme Causes and consequences of growing inequality — and what can be done about it. Starting with a breathtakingly comprehensive analysis of the causes of inequality and its many manifestations in terms of income, wealth, health, exposure to risks as well as highly differentiated opportunities for people, he noted its marked growth in some of the most advanced economies, eg the USA's, and focused on the further exacerbation of its effects during recession. Inequality really does matter to Stiglitz. He lamented the increasing division it had brought about in some advanced societies and the limitations this — and politics more generally — had imposed on forming a strong consensus around vital strategic investments, adding, with a side-swipe at GDP statistics, "Growth doesn't necessarily benefit everyone. Trickle-down economics doesn't work". What is good for hedge-fund managers does nothing for the poor. Whilst some of us are trapped in what he termed "high inequality equilibrium", he suggested the Scandinavian countries could show the way out and forward with their exemplary investments in education and progressive taxation. Even Brazil was paying more attention to the scourge of inequality, "pulling back from the abyss" with a more visionary approach to children and education. The trickiest questions of all — what do policy-makers do about it, and who are they? — are surely the subject of a further lecture. As Sir Adam Roberts, Emeritus Professor of International Relations, observed in his after-dinner response to Professor Stiglitz; he had helped us in a brilliant way to think hard about policy remedies for inequality - including those that did not necessarily include having to adopt Swedish ways. It was indeed an evening to remember.

Andrew Seton, Strategic Development Director

WILLIAM SHENSTONE: A TERCENTENARY CONFERENCE Around 50 delegates — mainly garden historians, including some who had travelled from France, Belgium and the USA — gathered in the Pichette Auditorium in August 2014 to celebrate and to delve deeper into the life and work of William Shenstone (1714-63): poet, landscape gardener and alumnus of Pembroke.

On the first evening, the 12th Viscount Cobham delivered an entertaining and insightful lecture on the relationship between Shenstone and his family, the Cobhams of Hagley Hall, who were Shenstone's neighbours and fellow landscapists. The SCR's portrait of Shenstone was displayed outside the Auditorium.

Saturday saw the main academic conference, with six speakers and plenty of lively discussion in between. Jane Brown discussed Shenstone's relationship with his gardening friend, the glamorous Lady Luxborough; Michael Symes revealed more of Shenstone's friendships, including that with fellow Pembrokian, the novelist Richard Graves; and Sandro Jung discussed Shenstone's poetry and also his other artistic interests, which came as a revelation to many. After the academic conference there were tours of the JCR collection, kindly given by Andrew Seton, Strategic Development Director; a drinks reception in Chapel Quad; and Formal Dinner in Hall, complete with the College silver on the tables, a gesture appreciated by all delegates. Shenstone's verse was declaimed after dinner and his memory toasted.

On Sunday morning a coach took delegates up the A40 to the remains of Shenstone's garden, The Leasowes, at Halesowen. A detailed tour of the site, which included some challenging terrain, a golf course to traverse, and several fences to negotiate, brought alive the topography of this remarkable site, which so impressed Thomas Jefferson, Jean-Jacques Rousseau and other notable visitors.

The friendliness and professionalism of all College staff, the high quality of the new accommodation and the food and service in Hall, as well as the academic presentations, ensured a fitting celebration of a notable Pembrokian. The conference was organised and chaired by Tim Richardson (1986), a landscape historian. Funds are currently being sought to enable publication of the proceedings of the conference.

SUPPORT FOR DEMOCRACY IN EGYPT Professor Stephen Whitefield, Dr Elisabeth Kendall and their colleague Dr Mazen Hassan, Cairo University, organised a conference in Pembroke, with contributions that included a keynote speech by Professor Mustapha Kamel Al-Sayyid (Professor of Political Science at Cairo University), and talks by James Watt (HM Ambassador to Egypt 2011-14), General Sameh Seif Elyazal (Chairman of Al Gomhouria Center for Political and Security Studies), Alfred Stepan (Wallace S Sayre Professor of Government and Director of the Center for the Study of Democracy, Toleration and Religion, Columbia University), and Tarek Amer (CEO of the National Bank of Egypt, UK). The event was supported by funding from the British Academy in support of collaboration between the University of Oxford and Cairo University and from the Economic and Social Research Council.

The removal of President Morsi by the Egyptian Army in July 2013, following mass public protests against his rule, has raised profound questions about the democratic commitments of Egyptian citizens, the future of democracy in the country, and the future of 'electoral Islamism'. The political dynamics in Egypt are clearly of great importance to the stability of the country and the Middle East as a whole, and whether Egyptians now support democracy is vital for our understanding of the country's trajectory. This was the nub of the issues discussed in the meeting.

What is clear from research that Whitefield, Kendall and Hassan have been undertaking since 2011 is that some very important transformations have already taken place in the attitudes of Egyptians towards democracy. In 2011, democracy was most strongly supported by the educated, young people, living in urban areas, and there was no gender gap in attitudes; by 2013, exactly these sorts of people had become less supportive of democracy than others, and a large gender gap (women supporting less than men) had opened. In 2011, support for democracy was aspirational in economic terms: those who had done relatively badly in the past but who had higher hopes for the economy in future were the more likely to support; this is no longer the case by 2013. Interestingly, support for democracy in 2011 was also more likely among Islamists, who saw the possibility of achieving their agenda through the ballot box; again, this is no longer the case. These findings raise yet more questions and Whitefield, Kendall and Hassan are working now on publishing their papers, conducting more surveys, holding another conference in Pembroke in April 2015 on the theme of religion in Egypt, and ensuring that their work is widely disseminated.

PEMBROKE LECTURE ON FANTASY LITERATURE Pembroke's second lecture on fantasy literature took place in May. The lecture series was established by students to promote the study of fantasy and speculative fiction, and is held every year in honour of former Fellow, JRR Tolkien (Professor of Anglo-Saxon 1925-45). This year, the speaker was acclaimed science-fiction writer and academic Adam Roberts from Royal Holloway, who gave an engaging and witty talk on Tolkien and Women, exploring the roles of female characters in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. The lecture was attended by all parts of the Pembroke community — JCR, MCR, SCR, staff, and alumni — as well as by members of the public who had travelled from across the country. Afterwards, we copied Frodo(!) by going on our own 'epic journey' — walking from the Pichette Auditorium to the MCR — for a wine reception and book signing. The lecture series was made possible by the Pembroke Annual Fund and we will be hosting the third lecture sometime in Trinity Term 2015. Further information will be posted on our website. As always, alumni and their guests are very welcome to attend.

Recordings of the lecture series are available to download from http://fantasylecture.wordpress.com.

Gabriel Schenk, 2010 8 THE PEMBROKE RECORD

56TH ANNUAL MODERN FOREIGN LANGUAGES TEACHERS' CONFERENCE The Sir Robert Taylor Society held their 56th Annual Modern Foreign Languages Teachers' Conference: Enriching Modern Languages Teaching at Pembroke in late September. 125 delegates attended; a balance between teachers from state and independent schools, as well as a strong representation from the Oxford Faculty including Pembroke Fellow in Modern Languages, Dr Tim Farrant.

The principal theme on the first day was the literature of WWI, presented from the point of view of the different countries; Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Russia, France, Italy and Portugal. The outstanding panel of experts from the Faculty then discussed more general questions raised by the audience. This theme found its historical perspective in a most thought-provoking after dinner speech by one of the leading experts on WWI, Sir Hew Strachan, in which he reflected on the real significance of Remembrance.

The following day provided teachers with the opportunity to ask about admissions, courses, expectations and any other matters associated with the study of Modern Languages at Oxford. Dr Tim Farrant outlined Pembroke's outreach programme, which aims to raise aspirations of students from disadvantaged backgrounds to study at university.

Of special note was Professor Cooper's account of the decidedly robust humour to be found in Rabelais, which made clear that the idea of 'political correctness' had not yet arrived. This was well received and provided stark contrast to the delicate, poetic imaginings of Gabriel Garcia Marquez (whose death was commemorated by a moving account of examples of the author's `magic moments' by Professor Robin Fiddia). Both offered excellent preparation for a performance in English of Poliziano's 1480 short play Orfeo, with the introduction by Professor Martin McLaughlin, the verse translation by Dr David Maskell, the direction by Lucy Rayfield, and the acting and the singing showcasing the combined efforts of the Oxford Faculty and its students.

PEMBROKE COLLEGE MAHFOUZ FORUM The Ordered Universe Project — combining historians, latinists, scientists, engineers and theologians and co-led by Pembroke Fellow in Psychology Dr Hannah Smithson — were at Pembroke for this October's inter-disciplinary Mahfouz Forum. The Project engages in original examinations of medieval science using interdisciplinary readings of the scientific works of the remarkable English thinker Robert Grosseteste (c1170— 1253). It integrates the conceptual tools of modern science with the textual methods of the humanities.

The workshops started informally with a planning session for the next phase of the project: moving to Grosseteste's ten remaining scientific treatises and testing how to present the idea of the project both to conference participants and the wider community.

Work began the next morning with two discursive presentations. The first outlined the place of the De generatione sonorum (On the generation of sound), one of Grosseteste's earliest treatises, within his career and lifetime. Grosseteste's views developed throughout his learning as he became familiar with wider thinking on the subject of sound, providing useful insight into his working practices.

The second presentation gave an overview on the modern understanding of sound, oscillating waves, frequencies and pitch and was followed by Dr Clive Siviour, Pembroke Fellow in Engineering, demonstrating outside on The Walter Isaacson Terrace the `Chladni plate' (a flat metal plate, which when bowed produces sound through its different modes of vibration, and these are visualised when sprinkled salt falls into patterns).

Following the opening sessions, the group moved on to their collaborative reading of Grosseteste's text, and through this collaboration found clues to solving textual puzzles of original meaning and intention. The Forum concluded with two public lectures in The Pichette Auditiorium — Forming the Body of the Cosmos: Robert Grosseteste's On Light and A Bridge Between Medieval and Modern Colour Science: Robert Grosseteste's On Colour and On the Rainbow.

Hannah Smithson, Fellow in Psychology The Ordered Universe Project with Dr Hannah Smithson as Co-Investigator, was shortlisted for the 2014 Times Higher Education Award for Research Project of the Year.

MCR

A GREATYEAR

IN THE HEART OF THE LOLLE(xL

We started the year with a refurbishment of the Common Room and now have a new pool table; a bookshelf with fiction, travel, cookery and biography sections; a selection of games and DVDs; bright pink sofa covers; and a hand-painted Pembroke crest. It's feeling very homely.

Pembroke is blessed to have a vibrant graduate community which animates the MCR in the heart of Old Quad. It is not dominated by any single faculty or degree type. Some of the highlights of 2013-14 took place in the beautiful countryside of the Cotswolds during the Master's Ramble, and on a windy River Cam during our annual visit to our sister College, Queens'.

As always, there has been a variety of things to get involved with, from the cerebral to the unashamedly less-so!

The Choir went on tour to Ljubljana, Slovenia, this year, and the sports teams have had a great showing. We have a new Pembroke Drama Society, which presented their first production: A Night of the Absurd in Hilary term. This was an evening of French absurdist theatre, with back-to-back performances of Sartre's No Exit and Camus' The Misunderstanding. It was excellent, and sold out on the last night. This year's musical Into the Woods; was another great success.

Following a very well-attended sexual consent discussion forum called Pembroke Talks: Are there 'Blurred Lines' at Pembroke?, we are currently planning a lecture series called Pembroke Talks.

In our first two JCR meetings of term, the JCR passed a constitutional motion to create a Charities Committee, to be led by the JCR RAG and Charities Reps. Fundraising events were held over the course of the the year, including the Week for the British Red Cross Typhoon Haiyan Appeal — the highlight of which was a day of busking on Cornmarket Street.

The Committee also hosted a Pembroke version of Take Me Out, the popular ITV dating show, to a packed-out Pichette Auditorium.

As well as such expeditions into the outside world, the MCR has been fortunate to receive visits from Pembroke alumni.

In Hilary, David Cracknell (1990), former Political Editor of the Sunday Times gave candid insights into his progress from writing for Cherwell to chronicling the Blair/Brown years in the national press. Trinity saw composer Tarik O'Regan (1996), whose 'fanfare' was used at the opening of Pembroke's new buildings, return to College with an interactive talk on his musical career. In addition to hearing from alumni, the MCR gathered each term for a research symposium to share their current projects with each other. The Second Annual Tolkien Lecture by author and academic Professor Adam Roberts drew a capacity crowd to The Pichette Auditorium, and the MCR launched the fundraising campaign for a bronze memorial to Tolkien, sculpted by his grand-nephew Tim Tolkien.

Beyond such special events it is the rhythm of the termcard that gives such life to the community. Tea and cakes on Tuesday, Friday bar night and second dessert after Formal Hall on Sunday are capstones to a day in the life of a graduate student, dragging solitary researchers from libraries and labs, and in the case of the termly banquets, imbuing them with black-tie glamour. Outside of term, the MCR has provided a second family over Christmas and Easter, and a refuge from streets thronged with day-trippers during the summer.

The MCR has twice annual elections to allow those reading for one year degrees to participate more fully in the life of the College. Despite this regular change, the MCR exhibits a remarkable degree of continuity, with consistently high marks for graduate student lifestyle in the university-wide student barometer surveys. Thanks are due to all MCR Committee members.

Robert O'Shea, MCR President 2013-2014

It has been a real honour and pleasure to have been JCR President at this wonderful College!

Pembroke excelled themselves on multiple sporting fronts this year, producing various cuppers victories and providing numerous Blues teams with players. The sporting season began with the ever-successful trip to Cambridge and our sister college, Queens', to battle in rugby, football and, for the first time, netball — helping each of the teams welcome in their newest members.

The regular football and rugby seasons disappointed slightly, although record appearance holder Fitzroy Morrissey was the width of a post away from promoting PCFC with his last kick. Both teams were clearly saving themselves for the summer with PCRFC claiming the

SPORTS REPORT

PCBC Update The success of Pembroke College Boat Club in recent decades has been significant, in terms of the Club's history and the history of collegiate rowing at Oxford. In the last 20 years Pembroke men's and women's boats, have been placed in the top three positions on the river more than any other College. The task at hand coming into the 2013-2014 season was especially daunting as the Boat Club was defending the Men's Torpids and Summer Eights Headships, vying to reclaim the Women's Summer Eights Headship, and many of the women's and men's second and third boats were hunting for their respective headships in both Torpids and Summer Eights. The Club faced all of these challenges with relatively junior members, as many of the Club's senior and most experienced members graduated at the end of 2013.

The weather in Oxford from the first day of Michaelmas through to the spring proved to be the real challenge.

The training of Pembroke's crews was relegated indoors to the PCBC Boat House's rowing machines and weights room. The persistent rain did not drown the spirit of the Club and crews 12 THE PEMBROKE RECORD

gritted their teeth through indoor training sessions and optimised their precious time on the Isis. Sadly, Torpids 2014 was cancelled due to the high and swift stream of the Isis caused by endless weeks of rain.

This disappointment refocused the Club's determination to prove itself at Summer Eights with the eyes of the University rowing community upon those clad in Pembroke Pink. The first day saw M1 row with all of its heart and fend off Christ Church's attempt at a Headship bump. Ultimately, Ml was bumped by a Blues-and-Olympian-filled Oriel MI on day two. Nevertheless, the Men's First Eight bravely held off Christ Church for the remainder of the week — against all expectations — and ended second on the River. Likewise, the Women's First Eight yielded to Magdalen on day one, but retook and held their position as fourth on the River. Pembroke's lower boats also fought hard in the melee that was Summer Eights.

In particular the Men's 2❑d and 4th Eights racked up six bumps in total with M4 being PCBC's only boat to win blades this year.

The River was not as kind to the Men's 3rd and Women's 2nd and 3rd Eights, who only felt kisses on their stern this year.

Pembroke continued its tradition of contributing members to Oxford crews who then returned to the Club for Summer Eights to give their all for their College. Anastasia Chitty competed in the Women's Boat Race in a boat coxed by fellow Pembrokian Erin Wysocki-Jones.

Andrew Saul and Dan Bowen raced in the Lightweight Boat Race, while Kris Blake was taken out-of-action due to injury.

The end of this year's season also marked the departure of the Boat Club's Head Coach, Barrie-Jon Mulder. BJ — as he is affectionately known — has been an integral part of building up PCBC's powerhouse status, and all those who rowed with him will remember him fondly.

In all, a transitional year for PCBC. Most importantly the tempo has been set for a new generation of dedicated and spirited Pembroke rowers, who will continue the proud tradition of the Club.

Andrew Pazdon (2012), PCBC President 2013-14

Art at Pembroke has gone from strength to the strength this year and we hosted a number of notable speakers from a variety of backgrounds. These included the art historian Griselda Pollock and the former Director of the Royal Academy, Kathleen Soriano. I was very fortunate to be given the opportunity to interview the acclaimed Russian artist, Maxim Kantor, for an audience of students. Kantor has a special relationship with Pembroke as an Honorary Fellow, and has donated one of his paintings to the College collection.

During Arts Week in third week of Trinity term, we held events in conjunction with the Edgar Wind Society for History of Art, and hosted a talk and gallery tour for the Friends of the Ashmolean society. Perhaps the highlight of the year was an event, also held during Arts Week, entitled Pembroke at the Ashmolean. In collaboration with the museum's student outreach programme, Pembroke students were welcomed after hours for drinks and small gallery tours of different aspects of the outstanding collection. Our thanks for this event go to all the speakers who gave talks, and especially to Mallica Landr with whom we are excited to be planning a similar event this year.

Within the Gallery itself, we have benefitted from the outstanding work of our new curator, Sarah Hegenbart. addition to her efforts in cataloguing and promoting the Collection, she also completed a rehang of the existing works in the Gallery, focusing on the wealth of female artists in the collection. Sarah is now committed to raising the profile of our Gallery in the Oxford art world and beyond, and creating a discussion about contemporary art and contemporary collecting within the College. As part of this, we visited a number of degree shows in London and Oxford, with the intention of acquiring new pieces of contemporary art.

At the Ruskin Degree Show, we bought a painting from young artist, Grace Thompson, who was selected recently for the Saatchi New Sensations show.

was a productive yearfor Mooting, always an ar t of the society,s calendar. Ape broke team (Matthew Everett, David Kasai, Victoria McGowan, Theo Taylor, Sarah Wilmshurst) reached the semi-final of the University's Undergraduate Mooting Championship, for the second consecutive year and the co-Presidents (Theo and Anish Hazra) represented the University at the ESU-Essex Court Moot Competition and the ICLR National Mooting Competition.

The Hogan Lovells High Achievers Dinner took place on 13th February and brought together all Pembroke lawyers. Robert Ash and Matthew Everett received the 'High Achievers' prizes, and Hannah Glover and Valentin Jeutner gave talks on their personal experiences of successful tactics for achieving high marks in finals.

Facilitating Pembroke students' legal career aspirations was high on the Society's agenda this year and several dinner or drinks events were hosted with leading City law firms. Among these were: a workshop on application and interview technique by Freshfields and a seminar with Travers Smith on Private Equity transactions. These events were well-attended by students studying non-law subjects, raising the profile of the Society and its activities amongst the College's non-law community.

The key event in the Blackstone calendar is the annual Blackstone Lecture in Trinity term which this year was postponed to November (2014). Given by Lord Neuberger of Abbotsbury, the current President of the United Kingdom Supreme Court, it was entitled Tweaking the Curial Veil. Lord Neuberger started the lecture by saying that he would be addressing the issue of the limited public access to the deliberations of appellate courts in the United Kingdom and went on to explain how the system of deliberations between judges functioned both at the Court of Appeal and in the House of Lords.

While accepting the arguments in favour of greater public access to judges' deliberations in the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court, Lord Neuberger ultimately concluded by convincingly arguing that the element of privacy currently afforded to judges is beneficial for legal certainty, clarity and the justice system as a whole. The Lecture was extremely well attended by a varied group of students, alumni and academics from many different Colleges.

ACCESSING PEMBROKE The Pembroke Access strategy has evolved rapidly in the last year.

We now have four 'hubs' in our target areas (including South Cheshire, East Manchester, Hackney, and Hammersmith) with the newest of our Subject Centres entering their second year of existence. These include: The North West Science Centre (South Cheshire College) which Pembroke maintains with Corpus, the Theology and Religious Studies Centre (Ashton Sixth Form College) which runs in close cooperation with a number of universities including Durham, Lancaster, Sheffield and Manchester, and the London Centre for Languages and Cultures (LCLC at William Morris Sixth Form). LCLC won £200,000 from the London Schools Excellence Fund and has a brief in partnership with others, including The Open University, to work with both students and teachers across nine European and Oriental languages. The Classics Centre (BSix Sixth Form College) is now largely part of a responsibility assumed by Wadham. The last Hub and Centre will be launched — also in the North West — in 2015.

Drawing on our academically-led programme as a template, the Welsh Assembly resolved this year (with Cambridge Colleges) to introduce a Hub model in Wales. The project will continue the

principle of working with students in the most deprived areas, including those with low prior attainment at GCSE, with the aim of supporting successful applications to the most selective universities, including Oxford itself.

Additionally, some other Oxford Colleges have appointed an Access Fellow this past year, while others have introduced academic courses as part of their Access work. Next year will see (I hope) further adoption of the Pembroke approach.

Dr Peter Claus, Access Fellow College Lecturer in History

Encouraged by the level of interest from my fellow JCR members, I set up Pembroke's first Ambassador Scheme: ten students from a range of subjects were selected and attended training run by TeachFirst. In December, a team of ambassadors and I acted as helpers during Admissions.

Hilary was packed with school tours and a visit from the Brilliant Club, a non-profit organisation aimed at widening access to university. The Easter vacation saw the Pembroke North West road trip to visit our hub schools in the region, and the DruckerTyler Study Skills residential in London, bringing together pupils participating in our range of programmes. Meanwhile, I worked on an Access Study Retreat hosted jointly with Wadham and Brasenose.

As JCR Access Rep I was privileged to be invited to several of our linked schools for a range of events, launches and workshops throughout the year. Further, I sat on a number of College committees and was able to give student input into decisions regarding the Annual Fund and discussions on Academic Committee. I have been very grateful for the opportunity to get involved with Pembroke's ground-breaking work.

Catherine Jones, 2012, Access Rep

Rebecca and Matthew were among a group of students who toured the 'hub schools' in the North West region over the summer: Rebecca Henshaw (2012): "We visited a wide variety of schools and many students came out of our sessions feeling more encouraged about applying to university. We had the chance to encourage them to start thinking around their subjects from different angles and exploring concepts outside their studies."

Matthew McGonagle (2012): "Students started sessions by asking if you had to be rich/posh to go to Oxford.

Knowing that Pembroke are playing their part — inspiring literally hundreds of kids and even getting them to consider Oxbridge — makes me incredibly proud to be part of the College."

LONG SERVICE AWARDS:

Presentations made by the Master, the Bursar and the Home Bursar, left to right: Geoff Greenwood Nigel Bird, Robert Wilson, Lavanya Rao, Helen Joynson, Erna Ebanks

2013-2014 saw the following staff members being recognised for their service to College: 15 YEARS Geoff Greenwood, Maintenance: I came here because the short commute to Pembroke was ideal and have grown to enjoy the College environment. The `escape' bridge to the 'New World' of The Rokos Quad has made a significant impact on my working life.

Robert Wilson, Steward: Pembroke has an ethos of progressive thinking — I'm allowed autonomy and the Hall and New Build projects have completely changed what we offer and how I work. It's gratifying that the hard work our teams put in to everything we do is recognised outside the College, both at University level and further afield. And — of course — the people here are great.

Lavanya Rao, IT Officer: Things have changed a lot since I have 10 YEARS been here. When I came very few students Nigel Bird, Director of Finance had their own laptops — they all used the I was pleased to receive a 10 years computer rooms. Some had desktops and service award, which was a study we used to go to their rooms to connect of the British 206 century artist them. Now they have more than one device Edward Burra. Regrettably he's not in the and are all using wifi. The job continues to JCR Art Fund Collection, of which I am be interesting as more new developments privileged to be a trustee. It's a delight to are brought in, and everyone here is very work at Pembroke because of its people, friendly. buildings and gardens.

Helen Joynson, Management Accountant: I came to Pembroke as a Trainee Accountant and have studied for and gained my chartered qualification since being here. The new buildings have brought the College in line with — and even ahead of — much of the outside world, and the family environment and friendly faces mean there's always great conversations with students, staff and Fellows alike.

Although not an officially recognised `milestone', the College was further delighted to celebrate Erna Ebanks, GAB Head Scout, and Master's Housekeeper who completed 35 years of service.

The Master, Dame Lynne Brindley, commented, "It's always a pleasure to be greeted by Erna; she has a cheerful disposition and positive attitude, coupled with loyalty, discretion and dedication to excellence in her work".

DEATHS

ew faces in the Porter's Lodge this year include Chris Collier, Colin Cox and Rosemarie Cook. Other staff members who joined include:

After 11 years in the Conference & Events Office, the last nine of which as Manager, Heather Earwicker retired in July 2014. Previously, her organisational skills had been employed in coordinating schools transport for her Local Education Authority, and with the Zacharias Trust, a Christian Charity based in Oxford.

Heather was an invaluable member of the College team and provided a professional and friendly interface whether liaising with Fellows, staff, alumni or corporate clients — or on two memorable occasions, members of the Royal Family. Joanne Bowley, Conference & Events Executive, who worked closely with Heather, commented "Working with Heather since October 2005 we became a team over the years and so it has been a little strange without her! However, I know that Heather is very much enjoying her retirement and the freedom to travel and spend more time with family and friends."

It is with great sadness that we report the death of a member of the Pembroke maintenance team, Mr Mick Beesley.

A craftsman who specialised in painting and decorating, Mick was a familiar face around the College. He almost single-handedly re-decorated the Lodgings shortly after the arrival of previous Master, Giles Henderson, who writes 'Mick was a stalwart and likeable employee of the College. Soon after Lynne and I moved into the Lodgings in 2001 they were the subject of major redecoration

by Mick (and Barry). So, for a couple of months we saw him every day: we remember his cheery hello and his great willingness."

Mick devoted 13 years of his working life to Pembroke College — many Fellows and staff attended his funeral to pay their respects to Mick and his family.

HOME BURSAR'S REPORT MIKE NAWORYNSKY OBE, HOME BURSAR

RISING TO A NEW CHALLENGE Pembroke's fantastic facilities have continued to attract praise from resident students and all the visitors who use them — and we have continued to develop new ways of utilising the College for the benefit of our community. Income generation from external activities has reached a new high and our repeat booking rate is almost 100%, with conference organisers seeking to reserve our spaces out to 2019.

It has been interesting to observe the sheer breadth and growth of our conference business, with many more overnight stays than ever before. Between July and September our accommodation team coped with providing rooms for nearly 2,000 individual guests — a phenomenal achievement requiring efficiency and a great deal of hard work.

Major political conferences, corporate clients (from British Gas to Estee Lauder) and high profile research and academic events have all been catered for. The efforts of the porters, who provide help and direction to all visitors, has been particularly mentioned in the feedback we receive.

"We would like to pass on our appreciation to you and your team for the smooth running of the conference last week. The facilities were excellent, the food delicious and the staff really helpful." 23rd International Symposium on Military Aspects of Blast and Shock

A key part of our activity throughout the year has been in developing our staff, through training opportunities, and also our policies and procedures. The various departments around the College from Kitchen to Lodge have all been looking at how business is done and where necessary adopting new work practices to improve capacity and performance. This has been extremely important for us with the increase in conference activity during the vacation periods while simultaneously coping with a vibrant College that needs to be able to cope with admissions interviews, visits from access and outreach colleges and, of course, our core academic endeavours during term time.

In the kitchen, our chefs have continued to impress with their imaginative menu designs and the way they have coped with every possible combination of student and client demand. Interestingly, the number of individual dietary requirements continues to rise (particularly in the student population).

Our Executive Chef has been leading the way in developing a system to place accurate information on allergens at 'front of house' and we now have a specific area of the kitchen reserved for the preparation of special diet meals. This has not only ensured we have a high level of safety but has also allowed us to develop, with the help of our student food committee, more exciting menu options.

Arthur Building (GAB) with new energy efficient units. The previous frames had rotted and resulted in poor ventilation in rooms — caused in part by the inability to open windows due to their condition — which in turn was starting to cause problems with damp. Mould had started to appear inside some rooms and therefore the project was urgent. The work cost over £500k but was finished on time and to budget and was project managed by our internal maintenance team. We also replaced all the door locks with new card readers and carried out maintenance on the roof and guttering, taking advantage of having scaffolding on site. Overall, as one local resident remarked: `...[The GAB] looks like new again'.

Farthings Cafe is firmly established as the College hub and continues to grow in success. Open 7 days a week, and until 10pm on four nights a week, this space is one of the most utilised areas of the College and the award of a five star rating from the local environmental health inspector was particularly pleasing for all of the team.

Back on the main site we have also continued to plan maintenance around events and managed to renovate both the SCR Parlour and one of our guest rooms amongst our busy calendar — a great credit to the team.

Balancing all this activity against the necessary maintenance work has been a challenge which we have met. This summer we replaced over 700 individual windows and doors in the Geoffrey

In sum, a fantastic year for the domestic team, not without challenges but certainly one that demonstrates the can-do attitude of our team and the flexibility of our estate to support such a high tempo of activity.

"You will have gathered that again our conference at Pembroke was regarded as a great success as well as most enjoyable.

Many thanks indeed to you and all who helped to make this possible." St Andrew's University

ANNUAL FUND REPORT KENDALL MURPHY, ANNUAL FUND OFFICER

ENHANCING THE ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE The Annual Fund's greatest contribution this past year was in supporting a wide range of academic priorities to maintain and augment our learning environment for all our students. It has been exciting to see the new academic possibilities Pembroke can offer, with the opening of our new buildings, and their 21s` century facilities.

Whilst improving resources for our graduates (including scholarships and grants for conference trips and research seminars), the College is also developing compelling ways to strengthen undergraduate engagement: providing opportunities for undergraduates to participate in research initiatives, academic seminars and special inter-disciplinary guest lectures.

One example of this is Dr Alfons Weber's (Fellow in Physics) termly physics seminars with invited guest speakers. These events encourage greater interaction amongst Physics undergraduates, graduates and academics and a chance for all to showcase their own work, alongside those with interesting careers or practical experience. e a really good idea, because it is importa for us to get a taste of what i like doing actual science in the re world and so interesting to find o where our degrees can take us.

As we look ahead, enhancing academic excellence is fundamental to achieving Pembroke's vision for the future. Regular donations to the Annual Fund ensure that the College can realise these ambitions and continue to encourage our students' great passions in unique ways.

We are all very grateful for each and every gift to the Annual Fund each year, and we hope to see an even greater number of alumni for the next Annual Fund Series on 6th June 2015.

Tom Harrison (2013, Physics)

Our students are fully engaged in these new initiatives and, with help from the Annual Fund last year, have founded the Experiential Society. This platform for discussion and research on multisensory experience design held its first Oxford event in The Pichette Auditorium, bringing our students together with renowned experts in the field.

The launch of the Annual Fund Series in June was a wonderful occasion for our students and the College to thank our alumni and friends for their generosity as well as to demonstrate the significant impact Annual Fund donations have each year.

Carlos Velasco (2012, DPhil Experimental Psychology and Founder of the Experiential Society) was able to present his own research at the event. He discussed his findings on how flavour is

FINANCIAL REPORT JOHN CHURCH, BURSAR

AYEAR OF CONSOLIDATION The 2013-14 Financial Year was the first in which the College's new buildings were fully operational. In the previous year, we had managed to accommodate all our second year students in their brand new bedrooms but it was only in the second half of that year that all the other facilities were completed, such that we could start to accept conference business and to stage other events. So, in the last year, the College's income benefited from not only the additional student rents but also the much higher level of conference income, both of which had been factored into the business case for the New Build Project. On the costs side, additional resources were needed to service the new buildings, whilst, at the same time, new appointments were made in support of our Access/outreach activities, to establish a Communications function and within the Conference and Events Team.

It was pleasing to note that, overall, the College's financial results exceeded both the budget and the position anticipated in our Strategic Plan. It was always expected that it would take a little time for the newly expanded College operations to settle down and to achieve the planned financial results and it is good to report that everything is on track.

Following the very successful Bridging Centuries Campaign and after a year in which a major part of the benefit of Peter Farthing's (1968) generous legacy was realised, the

philanthropic funds which flowed in during 2013-14 were at a much lower level. However, it was very encouraging that revenue donations, which matter greatly in supporting the College's day to day financial needs, increased significantly during the year whilst, at the same time, capital donations benefitted from remaining commitments from the Bridging Centuries Campaign, together with a major donation to fund one of the College's two Fellowships in Economics.

The College's financial accounts are once again presented in the form required by the Charities Commission. The Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA), also known as the Profit and Loss Account, shows that Net Incoming Resources before transfers reduced from £6.7m to £0.5m. This is due to the much lower level of legacies and donations, which reduced from an exceptional £8.8m in the previous year to £2.8m. Otherwise, income from other sources increased by £0.6m, reflecting increases in graduate student numbers, research income and residential and conference income. On the costs side, total resources expended rose by £0.7m to £10.9m as a result of the additional resources referred to previously.

So, overall, with net incoming resources of £0.5m and an investment gain of £0.3m, the College's Funds Balance rose by £0.8m to £71m.

The figures shown are extracted from the College's statutory audited accounts for tbeyear ended 31st July 2014.

The financial statements were approved by the Governing Body on 3rd December 2014 and have been posted on the College's website.

Turning to the College's Balance Sheet, after several years of investments relating to refurbishment projects and the new buildings, the position in 2013-14 was relatively stable as tangible fixed assets decreased by Elm to £35m, principally as a result of the depreciation charge of £1.2m. Securities and other investments rose by £1.2m to £46.8m as a result of £0.9m of capital donations and the £0.3m of investment gains. After deducting the long term creditors of £14.6m, which is the bank loan taken out to fund the balance of the New Building Project (alongside donated monies), the College's net funds were £71m.

The College is reliant upon the income drawn down from the long term investment portfolio. In 2013-14 the total return was 3.5%, which was below the benchmark target of 6%, due to challenging market conditions.

Looking forward, the College has just started work on its next Strategic Plan which will cover the period 2015-24.

As in the past, this will provide a robust framework for planning the future development of the College in a way which ensures that the hard earned financial stability achieved over the last decade is maintained whilst, at the same time, the College continues to develop its activities in a dynamic way. All of this is against the background of a challenging global economic environment, a degree of uncertainty about the future level of student fees and other challenges such as the need to increase pension and national insurance contributions, which will add to our staff costs, which is our major expenditure. However, we intend to face up to these challenges by managing our operations in a focused and efficient way, whilst continuing to seek financial support from the College's alumni and other supporters.

DEVELOPMENT REPORT ANDREW SETON, STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR

FROM INFRASTRUCTURE TO ACADEMIC PURPOSES With the new buildings now a living part of Pembroke, we have turned our fundraising minds towards the academic agenda. Whereas in 201213, our philanthropic income totalled £8.8m, in 2013-14 it was down to a more 'normal' £2.8m. We are now asking alumni to focus on a new and complex mix of academic posts, scholarships and ways of putting Pembroke on the global academic map and maintaining constant intellectual stimuli for our students. These are of course priorities, but after five years of putting in place something so tangible, they may come across as abstractions which offer less to our donors. Or so I feared at first...

Academic priorities were always destined to involve a different approach to fundraising. Yet alumni and friends have already picked up the gauntlet of renewed calls to give to the institution, not just providing its new bricks and mortar. Regular donations to the Annual Fund grew again last year — after years when it had taken second place to the big project — and helped meet the cost of the crucial variety Donations Summary 2013 / 2014

"Having enjoyed the Pembroke experience as undergraduate, a member of the SCR and a member of staff; I can testify that its reputation for friendliness, care and initiative is more than justified.

Its ability to sustain this year on year depends on having sufficient annual income to supplement the government funding and fees which come to less than half of what is needed. As one who has benefited from the experience, I wish to do what little I can to help the College continue to provide this."

"Pembroke's journey from the small, semi-Victorian institution I recall from six decades ago is astounding.

That it surmounted difficult odds, to become today's dynamic, progressive and far larger place — and yet retained all its friendliness — is due to an exceptional and devoted leadership team, and to financial support from alumni and others from all around the world. Elsa and I give to help sustain and enhance all this, and to bring young achievers from difficult backgrounds to this transformational place."

"One can never out-give Pembroke. Making a monthly donation repays in part what College did for me and guarantees its longevity for alumni and students alike.

As a teacher, I have ex-students at Pembroke and annually applying to it. Ensuring their experience of College is as least as good as mine was is vital.

Pembroke was the poor relation once upon a time. Now.it has pride in its identity."

-Emma Brining 1987 THE PEMBROKE RECORD 25

"There are many causes that one can give to and sometimes it can feel that the demands to donate are endless but giving is good for you.

-Lianne and Al ex Dabbous 1995 and 1996

"I came to Pembroke as a mature student— and found a warm welcome, a sense of intellectual liberation and the basis for a change in career. Since then, I've been happy to support the College in whatever way I can. I've been delighted to see the steps taken in recent years, culminating in the wonderful Bridging Centuries Campaign, with the superbly symbolic bridge.

The real riches ofPembroke, of course, are its members. It's a lifelong association, and I'm happy to help future generations of students enjoy the life-changing opportunities the College can give."

THE PEMBROKE RECORD 31

ALAN KATRITZKY (Former College Lecturer) 18" August 1928 — 10" February 2014 Alan Katritzky has a strong claim to be considered as the foremost heterocyclic chemist of his generation.

Heterocyclic compounds are chemical structures with rings of atoms that are not all carbon, and their practical importance, particularly in medicinal chemistry and materials science, cannot be overstated. Synthetic chemistry — the art of putting molecules together — was the dominating feature of his life's work, although he made substantial advances in analytical and physical organic chemistry, and his contributions to the literature of the subject, in the form of books and reviews, were legion.

Alan was born in London in 1928, and in 1940, after primary education, he joined Hornsey County Grammar School. Sixthform study there was followed by a two-year period of National Service. He entered St Catherine's Society in Oxford in 1948, to read chemistry, obtaining a first-class degree (BA) in 1951.

He went on to a BSc in 1952, and an MA and DPhil in 1954, being one of Sir Robert Robinson's last group of students. His connection with Pembroke College was as a College Lecturer (1956-7), a period which, although comparatively brief, he always remembered with affection. His Oxford life was greatly enriched when he met his future wife Linde Kilian, a lawyer's daughter in Munich, while on a skiing trip in 1949. They were married in 1952, and their first child (of four) was born in 1954.

In January 1958, after four years of independent research in the Dyson Perrins Laboratory, where Alan directed a small but active group, the Katritzkys moved to Cambridge. There his energy and abilities were quickly recognised. Although in the junior and untenured post of Demonstrator, he played an active role in reorganising the Organic Chemistry teaching. He spent a year with Trinity Hall and then became a Foundation Fellow of the new Churchill College. After four years he advanced to a lectureship, but not before he had been appointed as Professor of Chemistry at the University of East Anglia.

Alan was "pre-appointed" to The Norwich chair in 1962, and it was clear to him that there were many difficulties to be overcome before he could feel that the School that he was to lead could be an effective force in the research field. With his energetic personality and single-mindedness of purpose he convinced the Vice-Chancellor of the need for an early start on the permanent buildings to be used by Chemistry, and within a comparatively short period the University had a strong research base, not only in chemistry, but in the other science departments too.

Alan remained in Norwich until 1980. By this time the administrative work had become more irksome and he had become very conscious that, if he remained in the UK, one day 32 THE PEMBROKE RECORD

he would be required to retire, while still having much to offer.

So he accepted the Kenan Chair of Chemistry at the University of Florida, Gainesville, USA. He was aware that making a new start was going to be another challenge, but, at 52, he was still as energetic as ever. In Gainesville he established the Center for Heterocyclic Chemistry, a focus of significant advances in the field, the free online journal Arkivoc, and the annual FloHet conferences in heterocyclic and synthetic chemistry, supported by his ARKAT Foundation'.

The course of this great life came to an end abruptly.

Although still very active, Alan suffered a stroke in the course of an operation to correct a disabling sciatica. His movement, although not his intellect, was impaired, and after some months he suffered a fall, resulting in his death two days later. His passing was a great loss to science, to his family, and to his many friends worldwide. A fuller appreciation of his life, including his scientific work, will be published in the Biographical Memoirs of the Royal Society (2015).

John Boulton

KENNETH MCKENZIE (1927) 27th June 1909 — 20th December 2013 Kenneth was born in Jersey on 27th June 1909, the first of five children. His father was an Admiral in the Navy, and the family moved around the country with a series of postings.

Following schooling at Marlborough College (where his enduring love of horses and horse racing was ignited... he placed his bets with the school postman!), Kenneth came to Pembroke in 1927 to read Law. Realising that a career in law held no interest for him, he began his path in the retail industry — the "rag trade", as he called it. He moved to Mexico with his new wife Marion, and earned a living buying and selling hides for his father-in law's business. On his return to the UK he found work with Electrolux in Guernsey.

When WWII broke out, Kenneth's wife and children (Mary and Robert) returned to her native USA. Kenneth spent his war years at Bletchley Park, where he'd been seconded for his mathematical acumen. Afterwards, he returned to a job at Bhs. He subsequently held Buyer, Chairman and Managing Director positions and was responsible for much growth and many innovations. He gained a reputation as a respected and leading international businessman, also holding positions on boards of overseas companies. During this period he received a CBE and other awards for business, and raised many hundred thousand pounds for a variety of charities.

Kenneth retired at 60 to dedicate more time to his second wife Lelia and they travelled extensively, following their love

of horse racing (they usually owned six horses at any time) and fishing. They moved to Highclere a few years later, where their mutual enjoyment of gardening and antique collecting flourished.

After Lelia, his wife of almost 50 years passed away in 2001, Kenneth employed a series of Australian and New Zealander carers on a six-monthly basis. These young ladies (mostly in their twenties... they were "easier to train") enabled him to enjoy his life fully in the home that he loved, travel, and continue to attend race meetings to watch his own horses run.

The last in this line of carers arrived just before Kenneth's 97th birthday. Unfortunately she was (way) beyond her twenties, set in her ways, and was not "easy to train". She struggled with "The Gospel According to St Kenneth", and sparks regularly flew in a battle of wills and opinions. It was not many months, however, before both parties acknowledged a deep love and respect for each other, and Kenneth and Di were married in Jersey on 21st December 2006. There followed seven years of devotion to each other, with regular trips overseas to warmer climates during the English winters, and a mutual passion for both the flower and vegetable garden. Many a morning race downstairs culminated in the triumph of one or the other discovering the first sweet pea or raspberry.

As Kenneth became less able to travel, more time was spent at home relaxing on the terrace, reading his Telegraph or watching the horseracing. Di became his partner in crime as he embraced 21St century technology, aiding and abetting his life-long love of horses and racing via the laptop — even in Barbados he was plugged in with a headset to participate in the action.

Kenneth enjoyed an amazing life, filled with pursuits in business and leisure which afforded him a great sense of achievement and pleasure, respect, and enduring friendships across four generations. He touched the lives of many, and will be greatly missed.

LEIGHTON CLARKE THOMSON (1938) 25" April 1919 - 27" April 2014

Leighton Thomson, who died peacefully in Chelsea aged 95, was born in Canton Province, China, the youngest son of George Dornin Thomson, an American Presbyterian missionary of Scots descent and Margaret Everall, a softly spoken but determined Shropshire farmer's daughter.

Three generations of the Thomson family had been involved in medical and missionary work in China and in the founding of the Canton hospital.

Following his father's early death from TB when Leighton was only five his mother decided to return to England with her three sons all of whom were educated at Shrewsbury School and Oxford University. Leighton came up to Pembroke in 1938 and was soon on the water rowing for his College and for OUBC in the wartime boat race of 1940 at Henley. His eldest brother Ian (Balliol) had been in the Oxford crew of

1934. Leighton was a great supporter of rowing throughout his life and would follow the crews in practice whenever he could. For many years he spoke the Grace at the annual OUBC Blues' Dinner following the Boat Race. Such were his powers of persuasion and charm that members of the London Rowing Club crew later found themselves painting the church railings as a 'penance' for rowing past his church on Sunday mornings... he could see them, he explained tongue in cheek, from his pulpit!

It was at Oxford that he met a fellow Geography undergraduate, Prue Davies, the daughter of a rector in the Salisbury diocese, and they were married in 1943 at the University church of St Mary. Prue was in the WRNS and Leighton an Admiralty geographer during the war. Leighton trained for the priesthood at Wycliffe Hall and was ordained at Rochester Cathedral. Following a curacy at Anerley in South London he and Prue and their two young children moved to Alexandria for three years where Leighton had taken up a post as assistant chaplain, ministering to a largely ex-pat British congregation but also to a number of Egyptian and Middle East Christians. This began a lifelong connection with what is now the Egypt Diocesan Association on whose committee Leighton subsequently served.

On returning to England in 1950 he became 'Priest in Charge' and later vicar of Chelsea Old Church which had suffered very extensive damage and the loss of five firewatchers during a bombing raid in April 1941. Although the church had been virtually flattened the More Chapel remained as did many of the historic monuments. Despite initial opposition to reconstruction by the church authorities this was firmly overcome and Leighton launched the rebuilding appeal, instituted a new children's service and began a unique ministry combining the work of a parish priest with the daunting task of restoring an historic building. Through numerous initiatives and excellent teamwork this was successfully achieved and the church was re-consecrated in 1958 by the Bishop of London in the presence of HM The Queen Mother. Leighton recorded these years in his book The Rebuilding of Chelsea Old Church published in 1992 but now out of print. Prue died in 1991 but was in many ways the archetypal vicar's wife and a great support to Leighton, the family and to parish life.

Leighton was a fine draughtsman and artist, enjoying his membership of Chelsea Arts Club and, with his whimsical smile, convincing many well known practitioners there to contribute their talents to individual projects at the church. He was a founder member of The Fellowship of Contemplative Prayer and also served as Lord Mayor's Chaplain and, through a long association with the TA, as Chaplain to the Honourable Artillery Company. He was made a Prebendary of St Paul's Cathedral in 1986.

Although the annual Thomas More Sermon, which he initiated, attracted an enormously talented range of preachers; senior prelates, historians and experts in renaissance humanism, Leighton's faith in essence remained a simple one.

Family, friends, congregation and visitors alike all felt his sense of communion and brotherly love. Chelsea Old Church stands as a tribute to his vision and wonder and to the words of the hymn that he had learnt as a child 'To try His works to do'.

HUGH LUNGHI (1939) 3 rd

August 1920 — 14" March 2014

Lunghi was educated at Abingdon School, where he was head boy. Although physically small in stature, he became a passionate and skilled rugby player, captaining the 1st XV for three years, and later, at Pembroke, playing for the Greyhounds. He much enjoyed his time at Abingdon, and viewed the then Headmaster, WM Grundy, as a father figure.

He won a scholarship to read Greats at Pembroke College in 1939, but joined the Army when WWII broke out, resulting in some fascinating experiences as an army interpreter at the postwar Tehran, Yalta and Potsdam Conferences.

Lunghi had been taught to speak Russian by his mother and in 1943 he was sent to Moscow to be aide-de-camp and interpreter to head of the British Military Mission, LieutenantGeneral Sir Giffard Martel.

Later that year, he was ordered to Tehran — his birthplace, his father having been economic adviser at the British Legation there — to attend the first of the conferences between the "Big Three": Marshal Stalin, President Roosevelt and Winston Churchill. Lunghi assumed that he would be interpreting for Martel, but learnt that he would also be working for Churchill himself, as well as for Anthony Eden, the Foreign Secretary.

The time that Lunghi had already spent in Moscow left him with few illusions about the Soviet state. Nonetheless, he was delighted to be present at the shaping of the postwar world.

His first sight of Stalin had proved a shock: "In pictures they made Stalin look a tall warrior type," he recalled, "but he was very small in stature, about 5ft 2 or 3, and wore shoes with built-up heels."

Although Stalin was no match for Churchill as an orator — whose eloquence presented Lunghi with considerable challenges — the Soviet leader revealed himself to be a master of his brief.

Lunghi soon realised the kindly image projected to foreigners was belied by the atmosphere of fear in Stalin's own circle.

In February 1945 Lunghi was sent ahead to prepare for the conference to be held near Yalta, in the Crimea. Although the atmosphere seemed jolly, relations between the Allies were becoming strained. Lunghi was especially critical of Roosevelt, believing his obsession with gaining Soviet backing for the United Nations led him to abandon Central Europe to communist domination.

Half-way through the Potsdam conference in Berlin, summer 1945, Clement Attlee's victory in the general election meant that he replaced Churchill. Lunghi interpreted for the new Prime Minister, and noted with approval the tougher line that his Foreign Secretary, Ernest Bevin, took in negotiations over the fate of Poland.

At this time, Hitler's whereabouts were unknown to the Western Powers. In July 1945, the Soviet sentries guarding the wreckage of the Fuhrer's bunker in Berlin were surprised to be accosted by a dapper English officer speaking fluent Russian.

34 THE PEMBROKE RECORD

"It was damp and nasty and there was a lot of dirty clothing — a horrible, grim place which smelt terribly," recalled Lunghi.

"Outside there was a heap of ashes and a pile of stuff and I said, what was that? One of the soldiers, a major, said: 'Oh, that's Hitler and his mistress.' I don't think he realised he wasn't supposed to be telling me this."

He then visited the Reich Chancellery and retrieved chips of red marble from the Fiihrer's colossal desk, smashed by Soviet troops. Iron Crosses yet to be awarded were scattered across the floor, but what made a more lasting impression were files containing photographs of children catalogued by the Germans before being dispatched to concentration camps.

After the war, Lunghi worked as Second Secretary at the Moscow Embassy. He interpreted for Field Marshal Montgomery in 1948 during the Berlin Blockade. The following year, he was posted back to the Foreign Office in London, smuggling home a rescued Laika hound. His Russian fiancee, an opera singer, was not so fortunate. As a personal favour by Stalin, she was given permission to leave the Soviet Union, but was taken off the train bringing her to the West. Only many years later did Lunghi discover she had been sent to Siberia.

In 1954, he joined the BBC World Service. He became Deputy Head of Current Affairs Commentaries and then Head of the Central European department. During the crushing of the Prague Spring in 1968, he was the BBC's principal commentator.

He continued campaigning for freedom of expression as Director from 1980 of the Writers' and Scholars' Educational Trust, and as editor of its journal, Index on Censorship. He was able to revisit Russia in the 1990s, later lectured on Soviet affairs to universities, and was an invaluable source of information and wartime reminiscence for historians.

Lunghi had volunteered to join the army whilst still at Oxford and so, as he had been unable to complete his undergraduate course, he was awarded an aegrotat degree. He retained a special fondness for Oxford, and Pembroke, where he regularly attended Gaudies. He was always conscious of the many of his contemporaries who had not returned after the war had ended.

Lunghi had a daughter by his wartime marriage to Helen Kaplan, which was dissolved. In 1950 he married Renee Banks.

She died in 1992, and their three daughters survive him: Xanthe, Melissa and Diana.

'GRAHAM McCALLUM (1944) 1st April 1926 — 8" August 2014 Andrew Graham Stewart McCallum was born in Paisley, to Mary and Hugh McCallum on 1 April, 1926, the elder of two sons.

He attended Trinity Glenalmond College, (near Perth) from 1939 to 1943, where he remained a very active participant in many aspects of the school, becoming a prefect, member

of the 1st XV rugby team, 1st VIII shooting team, Keeper of Fives, and Captain of Golf.

He won an Open Classical Scholarship to Pembroke, where his uncle, Ronald McCallum, was a History Fellow (subsequently becoming Master from 1955 until 1968).

After a six month short course reading French and German, where he also attended the Oxford University Air Squadron, he went through pilot training in the RAF (at Perth, Cranwell and Darlington). He was commissioned and posted abroad on operational service in Malaya, and subsequently Ceylon, flying Mosquitoes and Beaufighters, for some eighteen months.

He returned to Pembroke in 1947, for a shortened Honours course in Jurisprudence, where he obtained his BA, subsequently MA, in 1949. In later life, he became an honorary Foundation Fellow.

McCallum joined John Swire and Sons, Limited in London as a management trainee in 1950. He spent his entire career working for this family firm (initially known in the Far East as Butterfield and Swire) spending over thirty years in Hong Kong, Australia and Japan. He was awarded a CBE for services to the British community in Japan in 1975. In 1978, he returned to live in the UK, after being appointed a Director of the main Swire Board in London.

Graham married Margaret Sim, daughter of Captain Douglas and Anne Sim, in Hong Kong in 1952. They had three children, Heather, Andrew and Gordon.

Outside Swire, McCallum acted as Chairman of the Steering Committee of the Japan Festival in 1991, which was the largest of its kind and operated throughout Britain for six months.

He was Deputy Chairman of the Design Museum in London for ten years. He also sat on the boards of investment trusts managed by Baillie Gifford in Edinburgh.

McCallum was an avid golfer throughout his life. At various times, he was Captain of Royal Ashdown Forest Golf Club, the Elders Golfing Society and President of the China Golfing Society, as well as being an enthusiastic member of the Oxford and Cambridge Golfing Society and Pembroke Golf Society.

Graham died suddenly, aged 88, on 8 August, 2014 at home in Oxford (to which he had returned about a year earlier). He is survived by his wife Margaret, his three children and six grandchildren.

Arnold was then appointed to the Fairmile Motor Launch 446.

The Fairmiles were not ideal assault craft. Their mahogany hulls gave no protection against rifle fire. However, powered by two 650 hp Hall-Scott petrol engines, they had a speed of 18 knots and were armed with Oerlikon 20mm cannon fore and aft and twin Lewis guns for anti-aircraft protection. On 28th March, ML 446 joined a flotilla of 16 boats, each carrying a squad of commandos, entering into the German-held Normandie Dock at St Nazaire for Operation Chariot. As a ruse de guerre, each flew a German ensign.

Acting Sub-Lieutenant Arnold was the navigator, under the command of Lt Dick Falconar. Their mission was to escort the ex-American destroyer Campbeltown, which had been converted to look like a German warship and filled with explosives, to demolish the strategically important dry dock, preventing its use by German battleships.

Arnold's ML 446, at the tail-end of the column, was charged with taking off Campbeltown's crew while the commandos secured an embarkation point on the quay for other commandos to demolish pumps and port facilities.

As the boats were discovered entering the harbour they hoisted the White Ensign and, in the words of the official dispatch: "We were suddenly fired on heavily... in the full fury of the attack that was let loose on both sides, the air became one mass of red and green tracer travelling in all directions."

ML 446 was hit. Some of the crew and many of the commandos were killed.

The boat still attempted to reach the quay, but after being driven back by fierce fire it joined the surviving MLs in the northern part of the harbour. As it manoeuvred through the hail of fire, Arnold was wounded.

Despite this, he continued to navigate ML 446 while fighting continued ashore. Nine MLs survived this first phase of fighting, but in the next hour three more were sunk.

Campbeltown, however, had been successfully driven into the gates of Normandie Dock.

At noon on 29th March Campbeltown, whose hidden explosives had not been located by the Germans, blew up — taking with her more than 100 Germans, including sightseers and souvenir-hunters; the gates of the dock were destroyed, rendering it unusable for the rest of the war.

Arnold was awarded a DSC and the raid was regarded as a complete success, despite heavy losses of both men and ships.

Of an initial force of 611 soldiers and sailors, 169 died and many more were wounded or taken prisoner.

HUGH AITNOLD After recovering from the wounds he suffered at St Nazaire, (1945) Arnold was appointed First Lieutenant of MTB 621, which in July 1944 was involved in 16 nights of gruelling action in 15" January 1921 — 17" December 2013 the Channel to prevent German fast patrol boats based at Le Havre from interfering with the landings in Normandy.

CHARLES SWITHINBANK (1946) 17" November 1926 — 27th May 2014 Charles Winthrop Mo1esworth Swithinbank was born in Pegu, Burma, on 17th November 1926, the son of Bernard Swithinbank of the Indian Civil Service, and educated at Bryanston.

He had only just graduated when he sailed south as assistant glaciologist on the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition of 1949-52. This expedition, under the leadership of the Norwegian John Giaever, established a base called Maudheim in the Norwegian territory of Dronning Maud Land, in the sector of Antarctica to the south of Africa. For land travel the expedition used both the traditional dog teams and over-snow tracked vehicles, and the scientists brought a new level of expertise to research into the Antarctic ice cover, carrying out deep drilling and seismic measurement of ice thickness.

Swithinbank was particularly concerned with measuring the snow nourishment and rate of movement of the (floating) ice shelf on which Maudheim was situated. He was also involved in the ice drilling programme, which was so successful that in the second year, as Giaever records in his book The White Desert (1954), he was able to identify an ice core formed of snow that had fallen in about the year 1800. Never one to miss a chance to improve his knowledge, Swithinbank also became fluent in Norwegian during his two years at Maudheim. He and the other three British members of the expedition received the Polar Medal with Antarctic clasp.

In 1946 he went up to Pembroke College, where he read Geography and rowed in the University trial eights, narrowly missing his Blue. He also took part in Oxford University expeditions to Iceland in 1947 and, the following year, to Gambia. In 1952 he returned to Oxford to write up his Antarctic results for a DPhil, which he was awarded in 1955.

In 1955 he became a Research Fellow at the Scott Polar Research Institute in Cambridge, to study the distribution of sea ice as it affects shipping in the Canadian Arctic. This 36 THE PEMBROKE RECORD

research, which was funded by the Canadian government, involved familiarisation with sea ice conditions on a cruise aboard the icebreaker Labrador in the Baffin Island region, and then a careful scrutiny of ships' logs and other records held mainly in eastern North America.

In 1959 Swithinbank moved from Cambridge to take up an appointment as a research associate and lecturer at Michigan University. While based there he spent three summers in the Antarctic with American parties engaged in investigations into the Ross Ice Shelf, and the glaciers that feed it, in New Zealand's Ross Dependency.

He then saw the possibility of returning to Dronning Maud Land as the US representative at the Soviet Union's ice shelf station Novolazarevskaya, newly established under the Antarctic Treaty. However, he found that for this post he needed American citizenship which, because he had been born in Burma, he could not easily acquire. He therefore returned to Britain to take up a further research appointment at the Scott Polar Research Institute, and proceeded to the Antarctic as British representative at the Soviet station; during two summers and a winter he continued his ice shelf studies and also became fluent in Russian.

Swithinbank remained at the Scott Polar Research Institute until 1976 when he moved to the British Antarctic Survey's new headquarters in Cambridge. Every other season he spent several months in the Antarctic, principally engaged in directing radio echo-sounding flights by Twin Otter aircraft to measure the thickness of ice cover over the Antarctic Peninsula and within the British Antarctic Territory. Swithinbank (himself a qualified pilot and an excellent navigator) flew mainly with the great polar airman Giles Kershaw, with whom he developed a fine rapport. He and Kershaw discovered extensive areas of level snow-free ice in the Patriot Hills.

Within weeks of his retirement from the British Antarctic Survey in late 1986, Swithinbank joined Kershaw and a Canadian-based commercial airline in a series of test flights, with support from the Chilean Air Force, flying from the Chilean station Marsh in the South Shetland Islands. The mission was successful in finding natural runways suitable for the landing of aircraft of any size on wheels.

Swithinbank continued to travel widely, with a particular interest in the application of remote-sensing techniques, especially satellite imagery, to glaciological problems. He published a lengthy report on Antarctic ice cover for the United States Geological Survey, and lectured widely at international meetings and at universities in America and elsewhere. He was also an accomplished lecturer on tourist cruises to the Canadian Arctic and to the Antarctic.

He was the author of An Alien in Antarctica, Reflections upon Forty Years of Exploration and Research on the Frozen Continent (1997); Forty Years on Ice, A lifetime of Exploration and Research in the Polar Regions (1998); Foothold on Antarctica, The First International Expedition (1949-1952) (1999); and Vodka on Ice, A Year with the Russians in Antarctica (2002) and his awards included the Patron's Medal of the Royal Geographical Society and the Vega Medal of the Royal Swedish Geographical Society. He is further commemorated by six place names in various sectors of the Antarctic.

He married, in 1960, Mary Fellows (nee Stewart), with whom he had a son and a daughter.

Obituary published in The Telegraph 29th May 2014

JOCK BRETON HOLLAND (1946) 8" August 1923 — 4" February 2014 Jock was an extrovert bon-viveur who enriched the lives of his many friends, whilst indulging his passions for opera, music, theatre and fine food and wine. He lived life to the full and was always positive and cheerful.

Having been wealthy Cheshire cotton merchants, the Hollands were bankrupted during the Great Depression. Jock's father died soon afterwards of a shrapnel wound he had received in the Battle of Passchendaele. He and his younger sister were brought up by their mother and educated charitably at the Cheadle Hume School, where Jock became head boy.

On leaving school Jock enlisted into the RAF and trained as a bomber pilot in Canada. However, the war was over before he saw active service.

When de-mobbed, Jock went up to Pembroke College, to read History. Here he met a group of hedonistic young men who inspired him for the rest of his life.

After Oxford he took up a hotel management traineeship at the Waldorf Hotel in London, which included an exchange year in France studying food and wine at the renowned threeMichelin-starred restaurant Baumaniers, in Provence. However, the exchange was cut short by a motorcycle accident, which left Jock badly shaken.

When he returned to England, he started working, first at The Royal Bath Hotel in Bournemouth, then at the RAC Club in London. It was then that he started going to the opera, concerts and theatre up to four times a week, seeing all the great performances and productions of the 50s and 60s. He was also a gastronome and gave many lavish and wild parties in some of the best restaurants in town.

In 1970, Jock resigned his position as Manager of The RAC Club and, responding to an advertisement in the newspaper for graduates, went to Luton to work as a probation officer. He had become disillusioned with the lack of respect shown to staff by the wealthy clientele of the RAC and decided to dedicate the rest of his working life to something more socially worthwhile.

Despite his radical change in circumstance, (he was living with his mother, who had moved to be with him), Jock continued to see his friends and pursue his passions, frequently travelling down to the Royal Opera House or Glyndebourne.

In 1978, Jock moved to Birmingham and ran a hostel for recently-released young offenders, which he did superbly. A former colleague described how he would dress immaculately, sport a waxed moustache, and cook amazing meals for the residents, many of whom did not know how to use a knife and fork. He was like 'a fish in a tree', but his approach seemed to work.

He retired in 1983 and soon after moved into a small house in Moseley with his new partner, Arthur. They had an active social and cultural retirement together, travelling often to their beloved Venice.

Arthur pre-deceased Jock by five years. Jock remained active and independent up to a few months before the end and died peacefully.

LESLIE PAINE

/11111W1.1111111411 '

0(1946) ii

Octoberdial — 2nd December 2013

Leslie Harold William Paine (also known as Nicky Paine) was born in Bath, Somerset on 4th October, 1921 and was educated at the City of Bath School. He worked in the local government office for the Town Clerk in Bath before enlisting in 1941.

During the Second World War, he served in the Royal Navy as a pilot in the Fleet Air Arm. He flew the Fairey Swordfish with a number of squadrons both on sea and land, by day and night, undertaking night sorties on Norway and Russian convoys to and from Murmansk. He received his Arctic Star Medal in 2013 to go with the Russian medal he had received some years previously.

After the War, he continued his education at Oxford, reading English Language and Literature at Pembroke College. He was inspired by Nye Bevan's speech about the creation of the National Health Service and when the King Edward's Hospital Fund for London (later known as The King's Fund) set up a course to train hospital administrators, he was one of the seven anomalies, as they were called, who took the two year course.

He was appointed Deputy House Governor at Addenbrookes Hospital Cambridge. He could have stayed at Cambridge but had seen the plight of the mentally ill during his time at the King's Fund and this prompted him to apply to become House Governor at the Bethlem Royal and Maudsley Hospital, a post which he held from 1963-1985.

Part of his remit was to promote interaction between the two hospitals which were on two sites — Beckenham and Denmark Hill. He promoted women in the workplace appointing a female Deputy House Governor at the Maudsley. He appointed the hospitals' first full-time Archivist (female) in 1967 and had an Archives building built in the grounds of the Bethlem Royal Hospital. Various hospital records were relocated there together with the Cibber figures of Raving and Melancholy Madness as well as a number of paintings by former patients.

Although not a psychiatrist, Leslie Paine nevertheless made enormous contributions to the clinical care of patients, the training of psychiatrists and the pursuit of psychiatric research.

He achieved this through consummate diplomatic and administrative skills.

Leslie played a key role in enhancing the quality of the clinical services of the Joint Hospital, as it was known, but also simply as "the Maudsley". He had a special weapon he utilised to elicit the highest standard of care from clinicians whether they were psychiatrists, nurses or clinical psychologists. He told them plainly and with conviction that he regarded the clinicians as the experts, and his job as an administrator was "simply" to resolve any problems and facilitate their work without any interference.

During his term of office as House Governor, Leslie extended his role to welcome the academic endeavours of the Institute of THE PEMBROKE RECORD 37

Psychiatry whose academic departments were accommodated within the hospital buildings. Inevitably there was a risk of tensions arising between the different interested parties. Leslie, largely through his personal qualities, established a culture of mutual trust which generally defused tensions.

In his time as House Governor the reputation of the Maudsley depended largely on its model training scheme for psychiatrists, which required much give and take from all clinicians. The consultants were asked to be generous in releasing their psychiatric registrars from clinical work in order to educate themselves. Positions were held for six months at a time before proceeding with the next appointment within the rotation. There was a risk of interrupting clinical care. This was contained through a careful network of communication and handing over. Again a delicate balance was needed and was achieved through joint committees at which the House Governor played a key role.

Research at the Maudsley had modest beginnings with the injection of research monies from the Bethlem Royal and Maudsley Endowment Fund. This fund was made possible as a result of the marriage between Bethlem and the Maudsley soon after the inception of the NHS. In the 1960s significant research grants were made from these endowment funds. Again there was a need for a careful balance between the legitimate clinical claims for such money and the need to support research.

At this time the House Governor's role was crucial in managing tensions between these spheres of activity.

In the course of more recent years the Bethlem Royal Endowment Funds have become whittled down in order to provide for clinical developments. This could have had disastrous effects on the early research endeavours of young clinicians, had it not been for the establishment of the Psychiatry Research Trust in 1982. Leslie Paine became its Director in 1986 and continued to promote fundraising to provide grants for young researchers working in the field of mental health and brain disease at the Institute of Psychiatry and associated Joint Hospital.

One of his many interests was sport. A keen rugby player he had played to county standard (for Bath, Rosslyn Park and Cambridge City) as well as enjoying tennis and badminton.

Nicky was a member of the Beckenham Cricket/Tennis Club from 1966 and President of the Club from 1987-1989, writing the History of the Beckenham Tennis Tournament on its 100th anniversary in 1986. He also commentated at the Tournament, which was one of the pre-Wimbledon grass tournaments, and introduced the interviewing of players on court. As a sporting journalist, he was the Cambridge Daily News' first rugby correspondent and provided weekly articles on rugby, and occasionally tennis, to The Times for fourteen years. He was a member of the Institute of Journalists.

During his thirty years as a senior hospital administrator he continued to write and edit, was awarded the OBE in 1970.

He was a member of the King's Fund Council. He wrote the history of the Hospital Officers' Club and was a member until his death. His war memoirs were published in 2013. In 2001 he became editor of the National Association of Primary Care Review and had just completed the Winter 2013 issue before he was taken very ill.

He had many stories to tell and sadly he never got to tell them all but he left a legacy all those who knew him will never forget. Nicky Paine will be much missed by his family, many friends and colleagues as a gentle gentleman with a unique style, 38 THE PEMBROKE RECORD

intelligence and kindly sense of humour, and his compassion particularly for animals. He always had a crossword handy to do in his 'idle' moments (The Times Saturday cryptic one) and was winner of the Sunday Times Literary Quiz the second year it ran.

Only a short time ago he wrote this of an old Cambridge friend, it could so well apply to himself: I have been proud to call him my friend for more than half a century and will continue to do so, even though he's gone now, and the only thoughts that stick obstinately in my mind are that I miss him and that we will indeed be fortunate should his like pass this way again.'

Leslie Paine (Nicky) was previously married to Thelma (d.

1978) and Sally (d. 2006). In recent years Christine was his partner and was with him at the time of his death. He leaves a daughter, three grandchildren, one great grandson and one great granddaughter.

JAMES PETER HARRY DAV (1948) 125th July 1928 — 20th November 2013 After service in the RAF Peter Davy came up to Pembroke to read for a degree in Agriculture (no longer offered at Oxford) and was a valued member of that tight-knit band of exservicemen who matriculated in 1948.

Like so many of the immediate post-war generation of undergraduates, seeking to make up for lost time socially as well as intellectually, Peter was resolved to get as much out of Oxford as it had to offer — as well as going down with a decent degree. He did both.

A young man of many and wide-ranging interests, he led an enviably varied career in and outside college. Stage Manager for one or two OUDS productions, he could be heard at rehearsals haranguing hapless stagehands for shifting scenery into the wrong place, or debating loudly with the lighting people over their 'preposterous' demands.

He belonged to the Beaumont Literary Society and was among those ambitious members who invited John Betjeman (Magdalen man but devout lover of Pembroke) to breakfast — a social occasion which, reportedly, was a resounding success.

Like many before and since, Peter's energy and enthusiasm also led him to the river where he coxed two excellent college Second VIIIs in 1949 and '50. He was a staunch supporter of the Pembroke Boat Club at all levels and showed up at Henley during the long vac in 1949 to cheer on the First VIII racing in the Thames Cup. His social obligations, which were many, included membership of the Teasel Club at whose 1950 Christmas party at Studley Priory he distinguished himself (unaware that the evening was over) by uncorking another magnum of

champagne (the 17th) just as the club steward was paying the bill. The college archives hold the receipt showing the extra 25/- (£1.25) inserted.

When Peter moved out of College he went into lodgings with Mrs Bossom in Pembroke St (a house now part of the North Quad). While there, among other diversions, he hosted a tea party which included Tony Richardson (Wadham) soon to find fame as a film director and husband and father of Redgraves.

Teatime conversation turned to the recent Pembroke (Sir Thomas Browne Society) production of Sartre's Men Without Shadows at which Richardson expressed his disgust.

"I was in it" said another guest bravely.

"I know!" said Tony. And then delivered the great backhanded compliment: "Yours was the only performance that didn't make me feel physically sick". Our host guffawed about this for days.

Peter, always carefully dressed, believed strongly in good selfpresentation. During Schools in 1951 he accosted a nervous group of sub-fusc Pembrokians on their way down the High, peering suspiciously at their made-up white bow ties. His of course was hand tied. "Schools" he admonished them "are very smart this year". So saying he swept off ahead of them to pit his wits against the examiners'. He could be outrageous.

On going down Peter spent a year in London at the College of Estate Management before joining his father in the family firm, Samuel Davy & Son, Surveyors, Auctioneers and Estate Agents, in Knowle.

A Warwickshire man, he soon fitted back into the county and the agricultural community to which he truly belonged.

Pembroke and Oxford had provided a refreshing and valuable curtain-raiser to a rich and varied life.

Peter followed his father to serve, for 40 years, as Hon. Secretary of the National Farmers Union in Knowle, Solihull and Hampton-in-Arden. He was also Secretary of the Kenilworth Agricultural Show for several years, a prominent figure in the Midland Counties Central Association of Agricultural Valuers, and chairman of his local Beausale parish council. He served in numerous other voluntary posts over many years — frequently as chairman.

In 1960 he married Janet Evans, a Warwickshire farmer's daughter, whom the Birmingham Post described, in the report of their marriage, as "well known in North Warwickshire hunting circles". They lived in Beausale for 53 happy years amid horses, dogs, cats and chickens, enjoying race-going, point-to-pointing and beagling.

Peter is survived by Janet (whom, with great affection, he referred to in later life as "the management"), their three daughters Sally, Gillian and Anna, and by five grandchildren.

Those of us who knew him at Pembroke, and after, remember a stimulating friend who had, perhaps uniquely, straddled the chasm between the bucolic and the theatrical. A rare man. A good life.

HUMPHREY GENTILLI (1948) 25" June 1927 — 13" November 2013 Humphrey Charles Gentilli was born in June 1927 and soon followed in his brother Stephen's footsteps and went to Marlborough school. He enlisted before the war was over, joined the Royal Artillery as a cadet and was sent to Trinity College Oxford on a six month War Office short course. Subsequently he resigned his officer cadetship and transferred to the Royal Army Education Corps. He was stationed in Greece and was the youngest Sergeant Major and part of his duties was to help others to read and write. On his return he went up to Oxford and at Pembroke College he read PPE. It was a time he remembered with great fondness and made several good friends with whom he kept in contact all his life. On visits to Oxford as a family he would take us round "Pemi" regaling us with marvellous stories of his time there.

After his studies, he was articled with Chartered Accountant Whinney, Smith and Whinney but realised this wasn't for him and joined a firm of stockbrokers in the City of London, rising to be a partner in R Layton and Co. He stayed there the rest of his working life until the city de-regulated and technology took hold of trading! In his day trading was done on trust and he was trusted and respected by his many clients — many of whom still asked for informal advice after he retired.

He met Suzanne Vidal, an "Auvergnatte" from France at a dance in Hampstead. She had come to London to study English. Legend has it that he was on the verge of leaving the dance when he spotted her and she thought he was much too good looking for his (or her) own good — the rest is history as they say! They had three children Marianne, Caroline and Nicholas. After living for a couple of years in London, off the Edgware Road they moved to Wimbledon.

Humphrey, or "Humpy" as he was known by family, retired relatively early and his time was filled easily by gardening both at home and on his two allotments, travelling, reading and crosswords. He did a lot of charity work, working with local charities. He was a school governor and drove an ambulance for Merton Disabled for many years.

A bon viveur, rarely without his pipe, he liked eating and drinking well, moving from Clarets to Beaujolais as he got older.

With Mummy, he loved going to the opera and the theatre and they regularly visited National Trust and English Heritage properties in their spare time. He was inquisitive, wise — a good listener with a wicked sense of humour. In conversation he focused on others and offered advice without prejudging. His glass was always half full, never half empty and this positive stoicism served him well in the last few days of his life.

Humphrey Charles Gentilli died on 13th November, aged 86, after a brief illness, at a hospice near his home in Wimbledon, London. He is sorely missed in many ways by his one THE PEMBROKE RECORD

WILLIAM MARSHALL (1950) 24" July 1930 — 22" December 2013 Bill Marshall died peacefully on 22nd December 2013 at home in Ely aged 83 after a long illness. He was educated at Lancing College. After completing national service, he read History at Pembroke between 1950 and 1953. He also rowed for the College. Teaching history, particularly the medieval period, was his metier. He was Head of the History Department at Millfield School from 1974 until his retirement in 1990. He completed an MLitt and PhD in Ecclesiastical History. His published works included Peter the Great, George Hooper 1640-1727, Bishop of Bath and Wells, and Church Lift. in Hereford and Oxford. He contributed seventeen entries to the New Dictionary of National Biography, the most notable of which were on Thomas Tenison (Archbishop of Canterbury 1694-1715) and two 17th-century Bishops of Bath and Wells, Thomas Ken and Richard Kidder. He also wrote several entries for the Oxford Companion to British History.

After retirement he worked as a voluntary project manager for the GAP organisation (now known as Latitude) in China (1990-95) and West China (1995-99), which involved many trips to China. Ordained as a priest in 1981, he was a member of the Millfield School Chaplaincy team, which provided pastoral support not only for Christian pupils but also those of other faiths. As a non-stipendiary priest he assisted the vicar of the Church of St John the Baptist, Glastonbury. A modest, kind and humorous man, he is sadly missed. Oxford and the College remained close to his heart.

40 THE PEMBROKE RECORD

DAVID JEAYES (1952) 24" January 1931 — 4th February 2014 David enjoyed a rather charmed childhood, growing up with his dear sister Ruth in the wonderful old Rectory at Holwell and then entering Magdalen College School as an impressionable chorister in 1940.

After National Service he returned to study English at Pembroke.

I met him in the '70s, in Central Africa where he was on secondment as Copperbelt Manager for his Insurance Company. It was a good time for David — hard rewarding work but he also sailed, water skied, sang, rowed and was actively involved in the brilliant local theatres. He played wonderful roles in numerous productions (Merchant of Venice, Murder in the Cathedral, Bach's Magnificat, West Side Story). I remember he'd just finished in Richard II, and was about to play one of the G&S Gondoliers. (Rather typically, he played him again with equal flair 20 years later.) In Ndola I listened backstage in the men's dressing room every evening. Recently he told me that a lady in the men's dressing room was unheard of at the time and quite scandalous.

David rowed there in good company — a German International, a Blue, and a Princess Elizabeth Cup winner. They rowed mainly on the Copperbelt Dams but once we camped on the banks of the Zambezi, and David won a sculling trophy just above Victoria Falls. It was low water — at high water the spray was impossible and anyway, it was probably dangerous.

But he was not averse to danger and enjoyed challenges. He climbed Kilimanjaro in his 40s, completed a water-ski slalom course in his 50s and once, when we were out for the day, he suddenly dived into a harbour without a thought and rescued a drowning man.

When we returned from Africa, David sang with the Brighton Festival Choir — Beethoven's Ninth in the Albert Hall with Dorati, and Verdi's Requiem at the Festival Hall with Robert Tear and Kondrashin. He sang at his own funeral in fact. In Zambia he'd sung Mozart's Requiem with a concert group in a little African church, accompanied by the only pipe organ in Central Africa. At his funeral we listened to the recording from 40 years ago, with David singing the bass solo Benedictus.

After we moved to Weybridge in 1975, David enjoyed company postings in Jamaica and Nigeria before 'retiring' at 50 and starting a cruiser hire business. An engineering course soon had him stripping down engines and thus he was able to service the boats almost single handedly, which rather pleased him. He ran them from the end of the garden here on the Thames. For a break between boats, he would often jump into the river and swim half a mile down to a little cottage we had on an Island there. And he'd swim back of course.

He never forgot his Colleges and their rich contribution to his life and was very pleased when invited to join Pembroke's Ossulston Circle in 2012.

His death in February was unexpected. We'd married last year. On our lovely wedding day our friends joined in singing `We've Been Together Now for 40 years. Of course, we had more

than 40 years. But not enough. Not nearly enough, and he is so sadly missed. He was very fine.

David is survived by his wife Penny, and his sister Ruth Jeayes.

December 2013

Well-known in legal circles, Professor Andries Charl Cilliers of Durbanville, South Africa, passed away on 3rd December 2013 after a short illness. Professor Cilliers (80), better known as "Prof AC", enjoyed a full and illustrious life.

After he obtained the BA and LLB degrees from the University of Stellenbosch, he became a Rhodes Scholar in 1954 and continued his legal studies at the University of Oxford in England until 1958. He completed his Master's Degree in Law at Oxford.

After his return to South Africa, he practised as an advocate (barrister) at the Cape Town Bar for seven years. Thereafter he moved with his family to Port Elizabeth, where he played a crucial role in the establishment of the Law Faculty at the University of Port Elizabeth, where he was Dean and lectured until his retirement in 1993. In 1976 he obtained a doctorate degree summa cum laude from the University of South Africa (UNISA).

Professor Cilliers contributed to numerous legal publications over many years on a variety of topics. In particular, he is known for his book, The Law of Costs. He was also co-author of Herbstein Van Winsen, The Civil Practice of the High Courts of South Africa and, over a period of 23 years, authored hundreds of articles for the legal publication De Rebus. He also wrote extensively on the topic of human rights and corresponding human duties, a topic that remained close to his heart during his whole life and which addressed his passion for justice and fairness. He was particularly proud of the letter that he received as a young man from Albert Einstein in reply to his question about the interaction between science and philosophy and treasured it his whole life.

Other highlights of his career included his membership of the President's Council, full member of the South African Academy of Science and Arts, his role as assessor in various cases, his membership of the Law Reform Committee that advised the South African government on legal reform, as well as his role as legal practitioner specialising in Civil Procedure and Costs. He was a legal advisor at the then Convention for a Democratic South Africa (Codesa) and was named as one of the top 2000 intellectuals of the 21" century.

After his retirement in 1993 he returned with his wife, Bettie, to Stellenbosch, the town of his birth, where he continued with his writing. Prof Cilliers celebrated his 80th birthday on 21" November 2013 with family and friends before he fell ill.

I'm writing this on the first anniversary of the death of Norman Myron Geras. Norm — he was always called that by his friends and family — was my husband for nearly half a century.

I've written a great many different things in my time but never anything as difficult and sad as this. What I say about him cannot be called objective by any standard, but I hope that will be forgiven.

Certain facts, the sort of thing you would find in traditional obituaries, are known and can be looked up on the Internet.

The reaction there to his death was something that took me and the rest of his family by surprise. If you had told him, during his last illness, that the Times, the Daily Telegraph and the Guardian would carry full obituaries, he would not have believed you. The cards and letters and emails I received after his death demonstrated a fact that none of us had quite realised before: that what he'd been writing on his blog from July 2003 till the last week of his life was important to a great many people in countries all over the world.

Norm was an academic at Manchester University from 1967 to 2003. He wrote books (The Contract of Mutual Indifference, Marx and Human Nature and others) and articles and spoke often at conferences and seminars. But it was normblog, one of the first weblog journals, which best displayed Norm's particular combination of gifts. Everything he wrote was clear and rigorously logical but he combined these qualities on the blog with other things that made him the person he was. He was passionate about cricket (especially his great love of the Ashes and his unswerving support of the Aussies), jazz, country and Western music, and Manchester United. Also, he was funny and not a little bonkers. Who else would have a strand on his blog where he reviewed different brands of soap, discussing their respective merits in all seriousness?

He became a born-again fiction reader in 2007, while we were on holiday in Florence. He had taken Pride and Prejudice with him and as he read it, I could see him falling in love. That is not putting it too strongly. From that time on, he was a devoted Janeite, working his way joyfully but in a typically thorough fashion through the novels, biographies, criticism etc.

The strongest and most abiding love of his life was his family.

His children were more important to him than anything else, and he was immensely proud of both our daughters. He also loved being a grandfather and doted on all three of his grandchildren. I am sad that he did not live to see the new addition to the family, a boy who was born on 26th August, almost on Norm's birthday but not quite...

He was never boring. He made me laugh. I get emails from friends all the time saying: "We need to know what Norm would think about this or that issue. We want to know what his views would have been..."

I feel exactly the same. What disappears when you've lost someone you've loved and been close to for decades is a private, THE PEMBROKE RECORD 41

TREVOR HOWARD-HILL (1963) 17th October 1933 — 1st June 2011 Trevor Howard-Hill, a New Zealand-born pioneer in literary computing and an expert on dramatic manuscripts of the Shakespearean period, was one of the most widely respected scholars in the emerging field of book history and one of the most tenacious and sceptical combatants in the rapidly changing world of editorial theory.

In the early 1960s, he planned the multi-volume Index to British Literary Bibliography, projected to take over 30 years to complete. The first volumes, published by Oxford in 1969, immediately became standard research tools for works; the final two massive volumes on The British Book Trade 1475-1890 were triumphantly published, three publishers and several title changes later, in 2009.

Trevor Howard-Hill was born in Lower Hutt, near Wellington, New Zealand, son of a policeman and a housewife.

He had a brother, Beresford, who died of cancer in adulthood.

After school in Wellington, he was in his own words "almost unthinkingly drawn to book-related studies." He went to work "as a general roustabout and cleaner with the local newspaper," and then, on going to the local Victoria University, became editor of the student newspaper.

He gained his BA in 1955, MA 1957, and PhD 1960, working with Professor I A Gordon and with his own nearcontemporary Don McKenzie. His PhD was on Ralph Crane and spelling analysis. As if a warning of what was to come, it was sub-titled "a preparatory study of his life, spelling and scribal habits." This formed the foundation for a monograph on Crane, and for other essays including the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography Crane entry.

He then did a library diploma, focusing on cataloguing "as a form of bibliographical description," he remarked, because he thought himself "undisciplined and unmethodical." From 1961-63, he was head of cataloguing for New Zealand's great Alexander Turnbull Library, retaining for the rest of his life the then-obligatory librarian's italic hand.

His research required painstaking hand-analysis of Shakespearean spelling, and to go further he needed computer access he could not get in Wellington. Inspired by the work of the distinguished Oxford Shakespearean Alice Walker and of Charlton B Hinman in Kansas, he moved to Britain in 1964, first as a librarian at the Shakespeare Institute in Birmingham, and then from 1965-70 as a Research Fellow in Literary Computing in Oxford. Here he produced the 37-volume series of Oxford Shakespeare Concordances (1969-73), the basis for his later book on Literary Concordances (1979). Supervised by Walker, he wrote a second doctoral thesis, his influential study of Ralph Crane and some Shakespeare first folio comedies (1971). Simultaneously, he completed the first two volumes of his great life-work, the Index to British Literary Bibliography (1969-2009).

42 THE PEMBROKE RECORD

He moved in 1970 to University College, Swansea, then in 1972, was recruited to join an ambitious group of textual and editorial scholars at the University of South Carolina in the US. This would remain his scholarly base for almost the next 40 years, though he went back to Britain every year, both for research and to see his daughters from his first marriage. He was promoted to full Professor and, as a former shop steward for the freezing workers' union in New Zealand, took a full part in faculty governance, including a stint as Chair of the English department. In part to avoid difficulties over his Union's early communist links, he never sought US citizenship.

Recognition came with an NEH Fellowship (1979) and a Guggenheim (1989). In 1990 he became the C Wallace Martin Professor of English, a position held until retirement in 1999.

He then moved into an office in the university library, from which he continued to edit PBSA, the century-old quarterly Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America.

Howard-Hill's central commitment remained his scholarship.

The 1980s were turbulent times in Shakespearean studies, even in textual editing. He was almost unique in his range of knowledge of the Shakespearean texts themselves, of the printing practices that transmitted them, and of contemporary dramatic manuscripts and their conventions. Fully understanding newer textual editorial theories, he thought many editors shirked their task: "An editor should stride the world like Tamburlaine," he wrote once in exasperation, "not shilly-shally like Hamlet!"

He was prolific, his work appearing in all the major bibliographical journals.

He was a regular friendly, reassuring presence at Shakespearean and bibliographical conferences all over the world, encouraging and befriending younger scholars. He was active in the Bibliographical Society of America, Sharp (Society for the History of Authorship, Reading and Publishing) and the Printing Historical Society. He had attended every World Shakespeare Congress since its founding in 1971; his paper for this year's congress, in Prague, was read by a colleague.

In recent years he frequently returned to New Zealand. He was twice married and divorced, and his partner in recent years was Joy Gamby.

What distinguishes Howard-Hill's bibliographical work is not only its daunting scale, but the quality of the data he provided. He insisted on seeing every item included for himself, often travelling to small-town libraries in Britain to hunt for elusive items and pore through long-neglected local periodicals. By the conclusion of the project he calculated he had visited during a 10-year period over 300 libraries, some in very remote places (many now closed). His British Book Trade Dissertations to 1980 (1998) complements his magnum opus, the great Index to British Literary Bibliography.

A lover of opera, especially Verdi, a bon vivant, and cat lover, over 6ft 2in tall, he had the appearance of a rugby player: such a well-built man bent over a laptop — he preferred the smallest possible — made an incongruous sight. Colleagues found him a generous friend, but he is known to far more people through his scholarship.

ADRIAN LEEK (1964) 1st January 1946 —1" March 2011 Adrian came up to Pembroke to read Biochemistry in 1964 and it has been my pleasure and privilege to know Adrian since we met at that time. I have also known his girlfriend and then wife, Nina, since shortly thereafter.

Many of you may know of Adrian's contributions to the world of science and medicine. Adrian pursued his biochemistry with enthusiasm and was at his happiest working in the lab.

He was awarded a Doctor of Philosophy for his research. He was responsible, under the guidance of Professor Tim Chard at St Bartholomew's Hospital in London, for work on the identification and assay of a chemical called AFP, alpha-fetoprotein. This is a chemical produced in high quantities by a fetus with open spina bifida, the most serious type of spina bifida and associated with significant suffering to those babies affected (assuming they survive) and great distress to their families. The chemical can be found in amniotic fluid (the liquor around the fetus) and in maternal blood. This was in the days before detailed ultrasound screening was available. As a direct result of the work by Adrian, published in the Lancet, pregnant women throughout the first and second worlds could identify if their fetus was affected by this terrible condition and plan accordingly. Many more could be reassured that the tragedy which occurred during an earlier pregnancy had not been repeated. This work led directly to the current screening tests for Down's syndrome.

He continued with his research in immuno-assay of medically important chemicals in Brussels and in Boston, USA, where they ultimately made their home. Latterly, he was involved in the development of an assay for PSA, the serum marker for prostatic cancer, and now a widely available screening test for one of the most common of cancers in men.

There are few who could leave such a legacy.

But what of the man? Despite the effects of time and geography, we have kept in touch. My wife Liz has become great friends with Nina and we have the honour of being god-parents to Richard and Lizzie. I also had the pleasure of being the obstetrician on the Delivery suite when Oliver was born.

Adrian has to be one of the nicest people one could wish to meet. He has always been thoughtful, kind, and immensely laid-back'. I can recall coming back to my room in College one afternoon to find Adrian there, working, and cooking toast on my electric heater. Adrian may or may not have been a religious man, but he could be found helping to run a bar in Brussels Cathedral. Liz and I will always remember with great pleasure spending a few most happy days with Adrian and Nina in Paris during a spell between courses of chemotherapy for the malignancy which ultimately claimed him. Even when in hospital terminally ill, he kept his sense of humour. We phoned him one evening and he said he was reading the latest copy of Nature. When we expressed some surprise at his choice of

reading material, Adrian's response was that you had to keep up to date.

His funeral in Boston was a most moving affair. There is a local tradition that those who may not be able to attend the funeral can come the evening before to pay their respects and offer their condolences to the family. It took a little over 4 hours for the line of well-wishers to pass through. He was clearly held in high regard by many.

He is dearly missed by Nina, Richard, Oliver, and Lizzie, not to mention the rest of his family and friends, of which I had the privilege to be included.

MI

( 1 967) 13" January 1945 — 20th December 2013 Robert was born in London, the youngest of four children, and educated at Dulwich Preparatory School and Cranleigh School in Surrey. In 1964 he read English at Leeds University followed by a Diploma in Education at Pembroke College.

Most of his working life was spent in the Middle East teaching English to the Armed Forces.

After his retirement, he moved to Oxford and was able to pursue his hobbies of bridge and music. He loved attending choral evensong at many of the College chapels and enjoyed concerts in Oxford. A competent pianist, he played daily and was a very good bridge player taking a keen interest in the weekly results at his club.

Sadly, in 2012 he was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour but continued, as best as possible, with his normal life.

Despite this, it was surprising that even in the latter days of his life, he could still play both the piano and bridge.

Having donated to the Bridging Centuries Campaign, he wished to celebrate the "opening" of his new study bedroom with a small ceremony in the distinguished company of Giles and Lynne Henderson, Sir Roger and Lady Bannister and the College Bursar, John Church. The day meant a huge amount to Robert and he treasured the memory of it.

In 2013 he was delighted to be invited to the official opening of the new quadrangles and buildings in the company of His Royal Highness The Duke of Kent KG. Robert's health was deteriorating by this stage but his determination to attend the event was fulfilled.

He passed away on 20th December 2013, three weeks before his 69th birthday.

9th July 1950 _ 7th F rebruary 2011

David came up to Pembroke from Malvern College in 1971 to read Modern History and Economics. His tutors were Paul Hyams, Piers Mackesy and Arthur Hazlewood. He settled into College life very quickly and made many lifelong friends.

The staircase parties which he organised on staircase 10 were legendary He was one of the few undergraduates who carried a corkscrew in his pocket!

He played cricket for the College 2nd XI and was involved in the Oxford Union and the University Conservative Association. Within College, he was a member of the Teasel Club and the Camden Society At the end of the Michaelmas Term in his third year, he was found to have a malignant cyst on one of his lungs. He underwent major surgery and had to have half of one of his lungs removed. After the operation, the College suggested that he take the rest of the year off. However, he showed true grit to return to College immediately and carry on as normal.

David always showed an interest in the financial world. After graduating in 1974, he went to Tokyo to work for Nippon Fudosan Bank and later returned to work for the same bank in London. After leaving Nippon Fudosan, he became a Director of Guinness Mahon, a British investment bank. He had fond memories of his time there.

He was sent to Berlin to attend a banking conference where, due to a booking error, he stayed in East Berlin rather than West Berlin, which meant that he had to make a trip through Checkpoint Charlie every day!

He went on to become a Director of The British and Commonwealth Bank. One of his colleagues there once told me that he was incredibly kind and supportive to the junior and less experienced members of staff. He spent his final years working in the City as a deal broker in corporate finance.

David kept in close touch with the College, attending several gaudies. He was also involved in the Pembroke City Group.

He was very proud when the men's and women's rowing crews became Head of the River a few years ago.

He married Clare in 1975 and they lived very happily near Richmond Park. He was very proud of his children Nicola and Andrew, both solicitors in the City of London, and his grandson Alfie.

Shortly after celebrating his 60th birthday in 2012, David was diagnosed with bowel cancer. He was very brave undergoing chemotherapy and major surgery with eight operations at the Royal Marsden Hospital. His courage was immense. He seemed to be recovering well and went to work as normal on 11th June 2014, when he died suddenly from a pulmonary embolism whilst having lunch at a City restaurant. He would have felt no pain and this is probably what he would have wished. Many College friends attended his funeral later that month.

David Milne loved Pembroke College. All who were fortunate to meet him will recall his kindness, humour and good nature. He always said that his three years at Pembroke were the best times of his life.

Peter Chappel 44 THE PEMBROKE RECORD

Professor Lim Chee Seng passed away on 7th February 2011 after a four month battle against cancer.

His untimely passing came as a great shock to many.

At his funeral which was held on the 10th February at Trinity Methodist Church, Petaling Jaya, so many of his past and present students of all races wept openly as a testament to how much he was loved, not just for the academic he was but also for his generosity of spirit and the many kindnesses he had shown to them over almost thirty years of teaching at the University of Malaya as well as the nine months at Sultan Idris University.

His friends and colleagues (many of whom were his former students) spoke of a man who was a true academic with a great passion for literature, especially Shakespeare and Renaissance literature, and who had a gift of communicating that passion to those he taught. Many others spoke of his numerous acts of kindness and a deep faith in God. Professor Lim had come to Pembroke College, Oxford from Malaysia on a Commonwealth Academic Staff scholarship where he specialised in English Renaissance literature. He obtained his MPhil in 1983, his MPhil dissertation being Macbeth: a Johnsonian Glossary. He loved Oxford, often describing it as a city of magic and all that it represented. He especially loved Pembroke for its associations with Samuel Johnson, Thomas Browne and William Blackstone. He never tired of telling stories about these three famous men.

In 1984 he returned to the University of Malaya where he had been teaching since 1977. He was head of the English Department for many years and was promoted to Professorship in 1998.

Besides being a fine Lecturer, he also had vision and outstanding leadership qualities. He was a master in balancing the act of protecting the English Department at the University.

Many times he kept the nationalist politicians from closing it down or turning it into a purely English Language Department.

He was Visiting Professor at Jadavpur University in Kolkata, India in 1995 and Visiting Fellow at Yale University in 1996.

He especially relished his time in Kolkata and frequently visited friends at the University subsequently.

He was elected an Exco Member of the International Shakespeare Association in 1996 at the Shakespeare conference in Los Angeles and subsequently re-elected in Valencia in 2001 and Brisbane in 2006. He was on the ISA planning committee for the conference in Prague (which took place in 2011, a few months after he passed away).

Professor Lim played a very active role in promoting Shakespeare, especially in Malaysia. He was keen to see Malaysian readers graduate from reading popular culture to more solid stuff like Shakespeare, Mahabharata, etc.

He was Chairman of Acclals between 1997 and 1999. He had several publications, the more notable ones being a chapter in the following books: Writing Over: Medieval to Renaissance; Renaissance Texts and Contexts. He also wrote Postdating for OED from William Dodd's Beauties of Shakespeare (1752) and Review of GF Parker's Johnson's Shakespeare (1989) in Notes and Queries as well as Emendation of Shakespeare in the Eighteenth Century: The Case of Johnson in Cahiers Elisabethains.

Among his other publications are Shakespeare Without English published by Pearson Longman in 2006 of which he was co-editor. He also contributed a chapter entitled Crossing the Dotted Line: Shakespeare and Geography in Shakespeare without Boundaries published by University of Delaware Press, 2011.

He shared a column in the local press called Text and Pretext, as part of The Literature Collective in the Literary Page together with some outstanding academics from Jadavpur university from 1994 to 1996.

As much as he was loved by so many, he also made enemies because he expressed his views strongly about the dismal state of academia in the University and the politics in the country.

So in 2009 when his three year extension as Professor ended, the University of Malaya only gave him a one year extension as Senior Lecturer, refusing to even let him have the title of Professor which they had bestowed on him years ago. This was totally unacceptable to him, his family and all who knew what a fine academic he was and how he had brought so much honour to the University. This affected him deeply and he left in disgust.

However, he soon became Professor again at another upcoming institution called Sultan Idris University in January 2010. He found tremendous joy again working for an institution which recognised his tremendous gifts and international standing as an academic.

In September that year, he was diagnosed with cancer though that did not prevent him from fulfilling his obligation as keynote speaker at a conference called Orienting Shakespeare in East Asia (The Fifth Conference of the NTU Shakespeare Forum) at National Taiwan University in November that year. Soon after that, his condition deteriorated and he passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by his family. The ViceChancellor said his passing was a great loss to Malaysia and the University.

Professor Lim came from a humble background. He picked up his command of the English language in school and acquired his international accent, he often said, from the Shakespearean records in his school library. The English missionaries who preached in the Presbyterian church he attended in his hometown also influenced the way he spoke and his life values. He said one of them was even from the distinguished Guinness family.

Family was very important to Professor Lim. My daughters remember a father who read stories and poems, took them to music classes, showed great interest in their lives and showered love upon them in so many different ways. He also enjoyed singing Christian hymns and carols with us and it was a delight to listen to his deep baritone voice. He was very protective about his daughters and it broke his heart to break the news of his illness to our younger daughter who had just begun her studies at UNSW in Sydney. Our elder daughter also shared at the funeral service how he was able to say sorry to his children easily and how conversations with him were often about books they were reading and their academic work.

His contribution to academia, his university and his country was an inspiration to so many. He is missed deeply by many but most of all by his family.

ROBERT NEIL FULTON (1985) 21" June 1967— 17th September 2013 Born in Middlesbrough; educated at King's Manor School and Acklam Sixth Form College, Neil was awarded an Open Entrance scholarship to Pembroke College, Oxford in December 1984. He graduated in English in 1989 and gained an MPhil in Comparative Philology in 1992. In 1994 he presented a paper on Lexical Collocation in Old English at the University of California, Berkeley.

Neil worked as an Assistant Admissions Officer at the Bodleian Library from May 1993 to December 1994 and joined the OUP as an assistant editor (new words) in January 1995. In January 2001 he presented a paper on Dictionaries and the rise of RP at the Conference of Standardisation in Germanic Languages at the University of Sheffield.

Unfortunately, Neil developed kidney failure in September 1994 and this was to govern what happened during the rest of his life. On leaving the OUP he studied at the Oxford Brookes University and gained a certificate to teach English as a Foreign Language. He returned to Middlesborough and worked from September 2002, until his death at the age of 46, as a teacher for the local authority, in a job to which he was well suited — a job which he loved.

Many years of hospital treatment began to take their toll and after a third failed kidney transplant in February 2011 life became increasingly difficult. He continued working, caring greatly for his students, many of whom were to attend his funeral. Complications resulted in having his right leg amputated in 2013. After a great recovery and rehabilitation Neil was to return to work in September when he suffered a fatal heart attack. He was survived by his parents, his sister and his niece.

DENISE INGE (1988) 18" February 1963 — 20" April 2014 Denise Longenecker Inge, wife to Bishop John of Worcester, and mother to beloved daughters Eleanor, 15, and Olivia, 9, lost her year-long battle with an inoperable cancer on Easter Sunday, surrounded by her family and loved ones.

She was an author, academic and adventurer who grew up in a `large and rambunctious' family, the descendants of Mennonite settlers, on the east coast of America. Her last written words were: have nothing to offer God but my poverty, a broken body and a longing heart. A state of complete dependency.'

Denise grew up in Pennsylvania, where she developed a passion for the natural world and for gardening to combine with her brilliant intelligence and an unshakeable faith in God. A member of the Quiet Garden Movement, Denise understood the value of a tranquil garden sanctuary in which to rest and pray.

She crossed the Sahara, charmed snakes in Marrakech and cycled the Adirondack mountains before coming to England in 1986 and meeting John Inge, the friend of a friend, 'and that became my future.' She came up to Pembroke in 1988, and went on to read for a PhD at King's College, London. She was appointed to an Honorary Senior Fellowship in Early Modern Studies at the University of Worcester in 2009.

Denise was a leading authority on the cleric, metaphysical poet, and theologian, Thomas Traherne. Her work to transcribe Traherne's lost manuscripts, along with her prize-winning books on the poet, including Happiness and Holiness, named in the Spectator's Book of the Year 2008, garnered her global scholarly acclaim. Denise shared a love of people, nature and theology with Traherne, and derived great joy from uncovering his works and bringing them to public attention.

Denise's enthusiasm for students, people and research was infectious. Denise was able to share this passion with the university community at Worcester, and her outstanding scholarship initiated new avenues of exploration and research for colleagues and students alike.

When, less than a year ago, she was diagnosed with an inoperable sarcoma, the question of living well in the face of mortality abruptly ceased to be hypothetical: 'What seems so strange to me is that I wrote almost every word of this book [A Tour of Bones: Facing Fear and Looking for Life, published posthumously on 6 November 2014] before I was diagnosed with cancer... The cancer has not made life more precious — that would make it seem like something fragile to lock away in the cupboard. No, it has made it more delicious.'

Her book is a passionate testament to the conviction 'that living is more than not dying, and that contemplating mortality is not about being prepared to die but about being prepared to live...' Denise did just that, and inspired others to do the same.

May she rest in peace and rise in glory.

STEPHEN STOKES

1988) 1th 7 March 1964 — 24" March 2014

r

Dr Stephen Stokes passed away on 24th March 2014 after a long illness at the age of 50. His life was shortened but his impressive accomplishments are those of a far older man. He will be missed by his family, his friends and colleagues from all around world. Stephen was born in Liverpool, England, on 17th March 1964. At age nine, his family moved to New Zealand where he surfed through school and college.

Back in the 'Mother country', he completed his PhD in Oxford in 1994 on Optical Dating of Aeolian Sediments in SW USA. His witty and mischievous humour is encrypted in his thesis acknowledgement: "Mandela is free, Nixon is dead, Thatcher is out of office, the Soviet Union has split, England are not in the World Cup, all my friends are marrying, Cliff Richard has (finally) stopped making records, and I have two grey hairsit must be time to finish up!" Stephen was a scholar and an academic, but a practical man as well. He was a world leader in the field of luminescence dating, a new and fascinating dating method that can determine the age of a sand dune, a pottery fragment, a volcanic eruption. He used luminescence as a tool to decipher the subtle love and hate relation between man and his surrounding landscape. He was the first to apply luminescence in several environments, notably in the deep-sea.

As a Professor at Oxford, Stephen supervised theses, taught hundreds of classes, tutored and mentored students. But most important of all, he ignited in them the passion of scientific endeavour. Stephen explored India, Mali, Nigeria, Egypt... in search of clues so we could better understand nature. Stephen felt especially at home in the desert. In the midst of his career, Stephen envisioned a somewhat different perspective in what could be his contribution to society. In his mid-forties, he got an MBA and joined the private sector. He brought a refreshing new angle to the issues of environmental assessment in a world shifting from dire exploitation to sustainable development.

In 2007, he joined AMR Research (Gartner) in Boston as a business analyst. As an Oxford academic and down-to-earth thinker, he helped redefine sustainability in the whole supply chain. In 2003, Stephen's life changed irreversibly when a young woman from Montreal happened to visit Oxford.

Stephen and Marie-Josee Duquette embarked on an alwayssurprising adventure together that included the birth of a daughter, Laurence, now nine years old. This small family brought Stephen immeasurable joy.

He is also survived by family in New Zealand and London and friends around the world. His recognition was world-wide, his approach to problem solving, global. For both science and business, the death of Stephen Stokes is a shameful loss. For his friends and family, it leaves a gap that will never be filled.

DELME PRITCHARD (1992) 6" March 1974 — 10" February 2013 Delme was born on 6th March 1974 in Gorseinon Hospital, near Swansea, South Wales.

In early 1979 his family moved to Hong Kong and Delme and his elder brother, Garvin, settled into Beacon Hill School. It soon became apparent that he was unusually talented in mathematics. His other great passion was sports.

He swam for his school team, winning many medals and even breaking the time records on one occasion. He became increasingly interested in playing tennis and was selected to be part of the Hong Kong Under 13s team — one of his proudest moments. He spent most of his spare time practicing at the Shatin Sports Centre under professional tuition. Tennis remained a great passion.

When his elder brother asked to go to Sixth Form College in the UK, Delme decided that he, too, would like to get to know his own country again. Millfield School had an excellent reputation both for sport and academics. Delme settled in amazingly well and became increasingly drawn to academia, particularly mathematics in all its various forms. In 1992 he came to Pembroke College to read for an Honours Degree in Mathematics.

Delme followed his Masters Degree with a PhD in Actuarial Maths at Heriot-Watt University in Scotland. His field of research was the genetics of Alzeheimer's disease, modelling disability and adverse selection in the long-term care insurance market. It was here that he met Neringa, who was studying for her Masters. They were married on 14th November 2001 in Edinburgh — and again in Lithuania the following summer. By this time Delme was lecturing at Heriot-Watt University and was awarded his doctorate in 2002.

In 2006, just before Delme's son Matas was born, Delme became a Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries. He worked at the time in Barrie & Hibbert Ltd, an Edinburgh based risk management consultancy. When the opportunity arose to go back to Hong Kong, with Prudential Corporation Asia, the Pritchards embarked on a new life. Their second child, a little girl named Indra was born shortly after the move. Delme was then asked to open a Hong Kong branch of Barrie & Hibbert Ltd, to cover all Asia Pacific countries, and in 2010 joined AXA China Region Insurance Co Ltd, as Project Director for the two year long Solvency II Programme, bringing together a team of thirty people, working on a challenging £10m project, bringing change to the whole actuarial industry: he really took pride in his job.

Delme also tried to meet up with his university friends whenever possible. Gabor Kleiman (a fellow Heriot-Watt student) recalls their adventures together; getting locked in at the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam, fishing together in the South of France and trying to smuggle alcohol and cigarettes out of Andorra, without success. They would watch old Monty Python sketches together, their favourite being the dead parrot.

Delme was an active member of the United Services Recreation Club Tennis Team. He also loved his motorbike and used to go to on track racing trips to Thailand. Delme always dreamed of getting a small boat to explore the islands and beaches of Hong Kong, as his parents did. In late 2012 the Pritchards acquired a little leisure motor boat and started exploring the seas in the Sai Kung area. This was the same boat in which he met his untimely death.

Delme was a marvellous father to Matas and Indra and the family spent together many happy holidays in the UK, Lithuania, France, Japan, Malaysia and Thailand. Since his death, Delme's wife and his children have moved to Lithuania.

His untimely death is a tragic loss to family, friends and everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. His memory will live on with us for ever.

WORLD WAR ONE: CENTENARYYEAR The Centenary of the First World War has been commemorated this year in a number of different ways. Our March edition of the Pembrokian took war as its theme, and reflected some of its many faces, from the delicate watercolours of George Weekes, to first-hand accounts of modern-day warfare offered by news reporters and those who had seen combat.

Pembroke Fellow in History, Dr Adrian Gregory, provides new perspectives on the First World War in his third book, A War of Peoples 1914 —1919 (2014, Oxford University Press). He has also been much in demand in the media during the year and was Historical Advisor to the BBC Series, Britain's Great War, presented by Jeremy Paxman.

Another World War One study, The English Words in War Time Project supported by the John Fell Research Fund, has been undertaken by Professor Lynda Mugglestone. She has been revisiting the work of Andrew Clark, rector of Great Leighs in Essex and a volunteer on the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary. Over the course of four years, Clark documented the impact of war on the English language. Professor Mugglestone's study, with a nod to Clark, focuses on the vernacular, leaving aside 'what great writers wrote', instead examining the everyday reality of recording language history as it happened in a period of unprecedented change. Visit the College website for a link to her blog, www.pmb.ox.ac.uk/wwl Also on the website is the work of College Archivist Amanda Ingram. Her dedicated pages, Pembroke In WWI, feature fascinating and rarely viewed material, now digitised. Sections include the College in Wartime (biographies of the members of Governing Body, copies of the University and Colleges Act 1915 and the Pembroke College Emergency Statute, amongst others); Memorials (an in-depth history of Charles Kempe's creation of the beautiful window in the Damon Wells Chapel in College); art by George Weekes; the letters of Charles Nye, with a prologue by Lady Moyra Bannister; a reproduction of the Manual of Military Cooking and Dietary from 1918 and the Roll of Honour — biographies of those sixty Pembrokians who gave their lives in World War One. We honour them, and record their names below:
