MASTER’S NOTES

DAME LYNNE BRINDLEY DBE Photo by Matt Crossick

I am writing my notes for the Record this year at the beginning of Third Week. The Freshers are settling into their new routines and life in College is quietly purposeful, in a glorious Indian Summer. Last week I hosted a reception for Fresher students in the Lodgings, and it was hugely rewarding to spend time with such a wonderful group of vivacious and enthusiastic young people. The media reports daily the challenges that students face as they embark upon their university careers; from worries about debt to concerns around the job market and the uncertainties faced by the Higher Education sector as a whole around Brexit and new government legislation, that I touched on in last year’s Record. But, what I saw in the room that evening was a palpable sense of optimism; our new students are passionate about their subjects, and excited by the opportunities available to them in Pembroke and across Oxford, for the second year in succession named as the top university in the world. It is the enthusiasm, international outlook, and talent of our students that gives us all renewed energy each academic year and helps us to appreciate how special and precious is the Pembroke community. Looking back on the last academic year, no doubt most of you by now will be aware of the outstanding results achieved by our students in their final exams, coming hard on the heels of our academic success of 2015-16. Nancy Braithwaite, our Academic Director, goes into more detail in her piece on p5, but the headlines bear repeating: 42 finalists obtained First Class degrees, and 52 a 2i classification. 23 students received Distinctions in their preliminary/moderation exams and 16 graduate students received Distinctions in their MSc examinations. Pembroke achieved third place in the Norrington Table, with a score of 77.47. Combined with a number of prestigious University prizes across a wide range of subjects, this is an extraordinary achievement by our students and one that the whole College community is proud to celebrate. As ever, our students have been working to broaden their experiences and development alongside their studies, taking full advantage of the range of opportunities available to them, both within and external to the College, nationally and internationally.

Let me mention just a couple of examples. Undergraduate Marianna Spring was awarded the Ronnie Payne Prize for Outstanding Foreign Reporting in February 2017, and a Pembroke team led by MCR President Daniela Massiceti won the Tri-Innovate 2017 award (a competitive event in which students from Wolfson, Hertford and Pembroke colleges pitch their entrepreneurial idea to a team of expert judges) with an innovative audio-navigation concept (more of which overleaf ). Thanks to the generosity of donors, we are able to award some extraordinary internship and travel opportunities to our students. This year, a Rokos grant helped us to send our first student, Ebubechi Okpalugo, as an intern to the Smithsonian Institute, where she worked on promoting the use and impact of cross discipline object-based scientific collections, including archaeology, biology, biomedicine, earth and space sciences and technology (again, see next page for more details). Kate Partridge (BA Experimental Psychology) travelled to Samoa on a Rokos internship, spending six weeks working alongside students from Yale, Brown and Wesleyan Universities on a research project called Ola Tuputupua’e (Growing Up). Kate worked on a longitudinal cohort study assessing the growth, health and development of Samoan children and their mothers. Iustin Ouatu, another recipient of the award, spent two months at the Hadronic Physics Department at the National Institute for Physics and Nuclear Engineering in Bucharest, working on a proto-type of a Transition Radiation Detector. In Michaelmas Term 2016 we welcomed Professor Pramila Krishnan to the College as Fellow in Economics. We were delighted that Professor Krishnan was recognized alongside her colleagues Professor Becca Williams and Professor Nicolai Sinai in the annual University Recognition of Distinction exercise in September. Indeed, this academic year has seen our Fellows succeed in a variety of areas, some of which are detailed in the following pages. Professor Andy Orchard was awarded a €2.44M ERC Advanced Grant for his Digital Project on Anglo-Saxon Poetry (and is currently acting as adviser on a new biopic about JRR Tolkien!). Professor Ben Davis and his co-researchers developed a crop spray that could revolutionise farming by increasing a farmer’s wheat yields by a fifth,

while Senior Research Fellow in History, Dr Nicholas Cole, spearheaded a new digital resource, Quill, which transforms the study and teaching of negotiated legal texts. Fellow and Nuffield Professor of Anaesthetic Science Professor Irene Tracey, who has recently been elected to the Wardenship of Merton (with effect from 2019), was awarded the prestigious Feldberg Foundation prize. At the end of the academic year, Professor Alex Kacelnik retired from his position as EP Abraham Fellow in Biological Sciences. Alex first came to the College in 1990, renowned, as was noted in the Record of that year, for his studies on the behaviour of starlings. Alex is our very own polymath, a very clever person, good at many different things. He has worked with starlings and Caledonian crows; with cockatoos and ducklings; and has demonstrated that pea plants show risk sensitivity. We held a dinner for Alex on 21st October to celebrate and thank him for his contribution to the College over the past 17 years. It was a terrific occasion, and we now look forward to his continued association with Pembroke as an Emeritus Fellow. Further tributes to Alex follow. In the summer we were saddened to learn of the death of a dedicated and deeply valued member of our College community. Sir Robert Clarke was an alumnus (1949, Modern History) and Honorary Fellow of the College. He served as an Advisory Fellow for several years, and was a committed member of both the Governing Body and the Development Committee. His obituary can be found on p37. So now we look ahead to an exciting and eventful year. Our 10 year Strategic Plan is firmed up and we are ever closer to crystallising our 2024 Campaign Plan, with support from our Campaign Board.We will be sad this coming year to lose two key members of our college officer team; Andrew Seton, Strategic Development Director and John Church, Bursar, will both be retiring but I am delighted to say that both have agreed to maintain connection with the College after they have stepped down. Full thanks and acknowledgement of their respective and weighty contributions to the College will follow in next year’s Record, as will news of the new appointees to both positions.

WELCOMES AND FAREWELLS WELCOME TO...

FAREWELL TO...

PRAMILA KRISHNAN

ALEX KACELNIK

Pramila Krishnan joined Pembroke as Fellow in Economics in September 2016, after 15 years at Jesus College, Cambridge and the Faculty of Economics. She is also Professor of Development Economics at the Oxford Department of International Development. Her research interests lie primarily in Development Economics, interests first fostered at Oxford, where she spent seven years at the Centre for the Study of African Economies. She credits Professor Sir Paul Collier, the then Director of the CSAE, with rescuing her from a potential career as an applied statistician. Her first research project was to help design a longititudinal survey of rural households in Ethiopia. She spent her first year at the CSAE away from Oxford, in Addis Ababa teaching on a Masters programme there, whilst also setting up the surveys and beginning a love affair with the country that has endured in research.

Professor Alex Kacelnik, EP Abraham Fellow and Tutor in Zoology, and Professor of Behavioural Ecology and Curator of Gardens, retired this year after 27 years as a Governing Body Fellow. At a dinner given in his honour there were three speakers paying tribute to this much-valued, admired and popular colleague. The Lord Krebs spoke of Professor Kacelnik’s scholarship in the field of Zoology. The Master, Dame Lynne Brindley and Professor Mark Fricker, Fellow by Special Election spoke for the College.

FELLOW IN ECONOMICS

Her research covers a variety of areas, ranging from health, labour markets, education and non-cognitive skills to behaviour towards risk and migration. Her current work includes the political economy of secession and natural resources, spatial distortions in markets and their impact on rural households and she is now beginning a new programme on uncertainty in trade policy and firm growth in developing countries. This is an unusually broad range of areas: they are united in that they all employ the tools of microeconometrics to understand how large changes or development interventions work themselves through the local or national economy to affect individual outcomes. They also have in common the use of large scale data such as night lights, spatial data on minerals and longititudinal and administrative data to map the effects of macrolevel changes on households and individuals.

Dame Lynne commenced the speeches: “Alex is for me Pembroke’s own Renaissance Man ‒ good at many different things. Which of course makes him the best of all companions. He will gladly engage in any unsolvable problem, discuss his voracious reading of literature, novels and regale his lunch companions with tales of his travels, with music and film thrown in for good measure. Alex does everything with an open smile, a generosity of spirit and great modesty. Alex, thank you for being a wonderful and inspiring colleague, we feel privileged to know you, we celebrate and take pride in your achievements, and take pleasure in counting you as a member of the Pembroke community.” Professor Fricker further observed, “Alex is clearly a distinguished scholar in his field but I would like to spend a few moments reflecting on his contribution to the undergraduate and graduate teaching in the College. 27 years amounts to 180 Pembrokians, 30 graduates and 3000 biologists.

and research. He has run the Animal Behaviour course for decades, gives a significant number of the tutorials associated with that course, and is still involved in admissions, student meetings, and project presentations. Alex has an extraordinary capacity to succinctly unpack a topic, critically walk through the details, and then seamlessly re-assemble the argument. This is apparent at all levels: working patiently with candidates at interview, posing logical conundra or graphical interpretation, challenging first years with evolutionary ideas on selfish genes, getting the second years to focus on testable hypotheses and robust experimental design, probing the limits of our understanding in in depth tutorials with the third years on animal behaviour and in the numerous collaborations with colleagues around the world.” With reference to Professor Kacelnik’s own research he commented, “Alex’s outstanding papers and awards, and the associated media coverage have added international prestige and academic gravitas to Pembroke and I suspect this will continue for a while yet because, although Alex technically retired a month ago, he is working away in the biology room, pops up at seminars with probing questions, and is even collaborating with me on behaviour in non-neuronal decision making in slime moulds. Professor Fricker concluded by saying “It has been an immense pleasure to work with Alex over the years, and I would like to thank him on behalf of his colleagues in biology, on behalf of the Fellowship, and on behalf of the generations of students he has inspired.”

True to an old school tradition in Oxford… Alex continues to be fully involved in teaching

ACADEMIC REPORT of leafleting, tour-giving and greeting. And, as all of that gets tidied away for another year, our new virtual Open Day launches, allowing students who can’t get to Oxford for a physical Open Day to get an escorted tour of the college, complete with a visit to a tutorial, the library and tea in Farthings.

NANCY BRAITHWAITE ACADEMIC DIRECTOR I’m writing this report just after the end of our third Open Day of the year on 15th September, and less than a month before the next set of undergraduate applications will arrive on 15th October. The bunting has been put away; the Pembroke pink doughnuts and special Pembroke pink ice cream have all been eaten; tutors have gone home to rest their sore throats after talking to hundreds of keen prospective applicants (and their even keener parents) and our team of pink T-shirted student helpers (and one Pink Panther) has put its collective feet up after ten hours hard work

The academic year has a wonderfully predictable cycle to it, but every year it’s different – and every part of it matters. Our access work, to encourage a wide range of applicants; our admissions work, to recruit the very best, the tutorial teaching that goes on day after day, and the heart beat of a thriving academic community going on in the background. This year, there has again been wonderful success to report against that backdrop. In numbers, I can report more Firsts than ever; third in the Norrington Table (with the fourth highest Norrington points score ever); 16 distinctions in Masters courses and 23 in Prelims/Mods. And a clutch of University prizes, including five prizes for Pembroke’s undergraduate and graduate lawyers, and more prizes for the women in science we celebrated last year. We have really enjoyed giving our students a platform to talk about their life in Pembroke in their own words, and I would recommend looking at our ‘Celebrating Exam Success’ stories on our website (www.pmb.ox.ac.uk). One of the areas we’ve focused on is to celebrate students who balance stellar academic achievement with

sporting, artistic, or community contributions, some of which are highlighted below. That ability to balance is at the heart of our new values; as well as academic ambition, inclusiveness, collaboration and adaptability. And it’s wonderful to work in an institution where it’s possible to see these in full effect! It wouldn’t be The Pembroke Record without some formal notices to report. We have welcomed Professor Pramila Krishnan (Economics) to the Fellowship, and celebrated as she and others were recognised in the Recognition of Distinction exercise, as mentioned by the Master in her Notes. We have welcomed Kirsty Simpson to the Academic Office as our Access and Admissions Officer. And we will be welcoming four Junior Research Fellows to the College in Chinese, Japanese and Economics. Those early career academics will have a wonderful opportunity to build their careers in Pembroke for three years – we look forward to the contribution they will make. Our community changes and renews from year to year – built on the continuity and stability made from the experiences of all those who pass through our doors.

FIRST CLASS HONOURS

Charles McGrath (2014 History and English) was inspired to apply for Pembroke after hearing Dr Peter Claus speak at his Sixth Form in London. A fellow Historian, Charles became particularly interested in the Northern Ireland Troubles, and wrote on the subject for his extended essay. On his role as Access Rep, Charles commented:

‘‘

It gave me a core extracurricular commitment which balanced nicely with the often intense nature of the academic work, and it made me far more confident than I was when I first arrived at Pembroke.Watching [participants in the Access Programme] flourish academically form some of my fondest memories of College life…As someone from a low-income single-parent family, I’m acutely aware of the issues surrounding access to higher education, and the barriers imposed on those from these backgrounds which often result in highly gifted academics of the future feeling that university is simply not for them.

2i HONOURS DEGREES

Laurence Wroe (2014 Physics) has just started the final year of his four-year degree in Physics and spent the summer working at CERN in Switzerland. He has represented Pembroke in many different sports, including pool, cricket, darts and rounders. His main sport is football, and his time in Pembroke’s Football Club (PCFC) has seen the team achieve promotion and reach the cup final. He comments:

‘‘

Oxford can be an intense environment for studying, and the downtime that sport provides has definitely helped me relax and consequently perform better in my studies… Take full opportunity of everything that Oxford has to offer. In addition to providing physicists that are leaders in their field … the Physics Department and Careers Service offer really great internships in the vacations that can broaden your horizons. Likewise, outside of Physics, Oxford has really good sports and societies that I’d really recommend getting involved in!

DISTINCTIONS

IN PRELIMS/ MODS

IN MSC EXAMS

Charlotte Vickers (2014 English) has just completed her final year at Pembroke and whilst at College became heavily involved in student drama productions: from directing and stagemanaging to marketing. Last year she directed a production of Christopher Marlowe’s Edward II at The Oxford Playhouse.

‘‘

The research I did while directing the show massively influenced the way I thought about the play, and consequently, the way I wrote about it for my Finals. [The experience] enabled me to develop so much as a person: in the way I think about the world around me, in how I communicate with others, and in my confidence in myself and my own abilities. Balancing your studies and your extra-curricular activity is hard, there’s no denying, but both are so rewarding that I wouldn’t have had it any other way.

ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS Professor Alfons Weber, Rokos-Clarendon Fellow in Physics, is the UK Principal Investigator on a project which recently received a funding commitment of £65million to investigate neutrinos; one of the fundamental particles which make up the universe, about which comparatively little is presently known. The project seeks to further our understanding of matter and the workings of the universe. The funding has been made available through an agreement signed by UK Universities and Science Minister Jo Johnson with the US Energy Department, and signifies investment in the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) at Fermilab in Batavai, Illinois, and the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE). The Facility will create and house the world’s most intense high-energy neutrino beam, capable of firing neutrinos 1300 km in order to study their oscillations. Scientists will look for differences in behaviour between neutrinos and their antimatter counterparts, antineutrinos, and hope that this study will provide answers as to why we live in a matter-dominated universe.

Professor Ben Davis FRS, Fellow and Tutor in Organic Chemistry, has been elected to the Membership of Academia Europaea. This is a rarely accorded honour, and membership requires nomination by existing members.

PROF ALFONS WEBER: £65M FUNDING

The DUNE will also be investigating the sequence of what happens with neutrinos when a star explodes, and this could provide insight into the formation of neutron stars and black holes. Professor Alfons Weber commented: ‘This is a dream come true…We have an excellent team that came up with innovative solutions…You have to optimise the cost so that we can build the biggest detector possible, but at the same time it has to be sensitive enough to be able to still measure these feeble interactions.’

Professor Davis studies the chemistry of carbohydrates and proteins, particularly their role in acting as biological markers in processes such as immune response and cancer metastasis, and the consequent potential for development of new drugs for treating diseases. Recent work has focused on improving harvest yield and rescuing plants from drought without genetic modification through the use of a sugar molecule. Professor Davis has also recently been awarded the 2017 Prix Paul Ehrlich of the Société de Chimie Thérapeutique (SCT). The prize, for outstanding contributions to medicinal chemistry, is awarded annually at the International Meeting of Therapeutic Chemistry (RICT).

FIRST SMITHSONIAN INTERNSHIP

COLLEGIATE SUCCESS FOR PEMBROKE GRADUATES

Ebubechi Okpalugo (2016) became the first student under the Smithsonian UK Charitable Trust to undertake an internship with the Scientific Collections International at The Smithsonian. She reports: “I had the most amazing opportunity of interning at the Smithsonian Institute. Despite not being directly linked to my degree, the topics I considered touched on the social side of medicine, expanding my interest in epidemiology and public health. Being an intern, I had the benefit of being able to go behind the scenes, enabling me to gain the full experience of what it’s like to work in such a large and collaborative institution.”

Tri-Innovate 2017 is a competitive event in which students from Wolfson, Hertford and Pembroke Colleges pitch their idea to a team of expert judges, with the chance of winning prize money and access to invaluable expertise.

The journey was made possible through the Rokos Awards programme (open to all Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) non-finalist undergraduates undertaking an internship). For the full report, please visit: www.pmb.ox.ac.uk/news/ebubechi-okpalugoundertakes-placement-smithsonian-institution

PROF BEN DAVIS ELECTED TO ACADEMIA EUROPAEA

Academia Europaea was founded in 1988 as an international association of scholars from all disciplines, who are experts and leaders in their own subject areas, as recognised by their peers. It exists as an independent, self-elected body who seek to promote international appreciation of European scholarship and research. Further, it fosters an interdisciplinary approach to all areas of learning with relevance to Europe. Crucially, it makes its collective expertise available to European institutions, governments and international agencies concerning matters affecting science, scholarship and academic life in Europe.

Held in The Pichette Auditorium, the College is delighted to report that this year’s winning team was led by Pembroke student Daniela Massiceti (DPhil Engineering Science, 2015) with Jonathan Downing (DPhil Engineering Science, 2014) and Saumya Jetley (St Cross College). They presented Listen2See ‒ an audio-guided navigation tool designed to construct an ‘auditory landscape’ to aid partially-sighted people. Following feedback from the panel of industry professionals with backgrounds in business and science, the team plan to develop their concept further.

ACADEMIC EVENTS

OCTOBER

THE QUILL PROJECT LAUNCH 14

THE FILM MASTERCLASS SERIES 31

20 ANNUAL BLACK HISTORY MONTH LECTURE Lecture Baroness Doreen Lawrence of Clarendon OBE was the guest speaker at this annual event, organised for the University by The Black and Minority Ethnic Staff Network and the Equality and Diversity Unit.

The Quill Project at Pembroke is designed to help readers understand how the foundational negotiated texts of the modern world have been created, with a particular focus on the creation of the 1787 Constitution of the United States, its subsequent history and influence.

24 ‘VALUES BASED LEADERSHIP IN A CHANGING WORLD’ Guest Lecture

The project’s bespoke software is designed to recreate the context within which constitutional conventions, legislative assemblies, and other formal groups have made their decisions. We combine this technological approach with the subject-matter expertise of legal and political historians, and outward-looking partnerships with educational non-profit organizations. This allows us to produce academically rigorous materials useful both for researchers and in a much broader range of educational contexts. We have had an extremely busy and successful year. In October, we made our model of the 1787 Convention available to the public for the first time. By December, it was already being used for teaching in one American university, and we know from social media interactions that by the spring it was being used in American high schools. We are thrilled to have won recognition for the innovation and potential of the Quill Platform, both for the specific work on the US Constitution and the technology platform itself. We have had many requests from scholars wishing to use our software for their research projects — far more than we have the capacity to support at present — and were especially pleased to win the award for best paper at the International Conference of Digital Libraries. This project would not exist without the support it receives from its donors. I am extremely grateful for the faith that they have shown in this project — a little more than two years ago it was a concept, and with their support we have turned it into a reality, building a first-in-class software platform in the process, and inspiring many people to renewed interest in the history of the American Constitution.

presents AN EVENING WITH AMANDA NEVILL (CBE), BRITISH FILM INSTITUTE CEO British film is flourishing: British films, selected from a global field, have opened and closed the BFI Film Festival for the past two years. Special guest Amanda Nevill, CBE, the Chief Executive Officer of the British Film Institute (BFI), shared these triumphs with an audience of budding filmmakers and film aficionados as part of the Pembroke Film Masterclass Series, founded in 2014 by Valentina Ippolito (2013). Nevill spoke about the trajectory of the BFI under her leadership. The BFI is ‘interested in the pioneering of the art of the moving image’ in the fullest sense, she said. To this end, the BFI are emphasising partnerships and funding applications from virtual reality and video games creators, as well as from directors and producers committed to working with the moving image in emerging media. She also sketched the challenges facing British film going forward, including the pressing need for film professionals prepared for ‘a marriage of the arts and technical ability’. The BFI is committed to promoting diversity at all levels and has implemented a diversity standard for all projects seeking funding – diversity not only in front of and behind the camera, but also in terms of the audiences addressed by the proposed work. Another goal has been the ‘devolution’ of film from the South East of England through supporting regional British film industries. The event was followed by a reception, where speaker and audience had the opportunity to continue the lively and engaged discussion. William Badger (2012)

‘SKILLS, EDUCATION AND WORK IN THE DIGITAL AGE’

17 PEMBROKE MCR PRESENTS... ...an evening with Sir Peter Ricketts GCMG (1971).

3 Lecture by DR CRAIG HOLMES AT THE OXFORD MARTIN SCHOOL Dr Holmes’ lecture, entitled Skills, Education and Work in the Digital Age looked at what might happen to the sorts of jobs that people will do in the future, what implications this might have for economic inequality, and what needs to be considered by policymakers. He described a number of themes from his previous research on the sorts of changes to the types of occupations people have found employment in over the past thirty years, and what this has meant for the distribution of pay. Specifically, he argued that while employment in middle paying jobs in manufacturing or in clerical occupations has continued to decline in recent years, this hasn’t driven up wage inequality as many new jobs have emerged, creating a new type of middle paying jobs.

‘THE GREAT WAR AND THE MIDDLE EAST’ Lecture Lecture by Dr Rob Johnson, Senior Research Fellow and Director of the CCW Programme.

28 ‘TOLKIEN: A SECRET VICE’ Talk and Q&A

With this in mind, the talk moved on to think about what might happen in the future: the threat of widespread job losses has received a lot of attention in the media. However, the lecture discussed how one implication of the recent trends in wage inequality is that the nature of jobs has started to change with new technologies, often in the direction of requiring less skill. Recent research on new digital technologies has suggested that many parts of other existing jobs - including highly skilled jobs such as medical or legal professionals - could be similarly affected. This might lead to job losses, but could lead to fundamental changes in the work of many well recognised occupations, accompanied by some significant effects on pay. The lecture concluded by arguing that there are likely to be new challenges for government policy. On wage inequality, new technologies create a greater possibility of winner-takes-all markets giving huge returns to a select number of skilled individuals but, potentially, more risk for those investing in high level specific skills. Further, predicting the pipeline of skills needed when many occupations are at risk of being automated is likely to be more difficult. Dr Holmes argued that more coordination between employers and the education system through new industrial strategies is needed, as well as investment in the early years to enable future workers to adapt more easily to potentially more volatile labour demand.

Lecture by MICHAEL WOOD, HISTORIAN AND BROADCASTER Last Michaelmas term Pembroke’s History Society welcomed historian and television broadcaster Michael Wood to the College to deliver a talk. Drawing upon over thirty years of experience and footage, Professor Wood’s presentation used video clips from a selection of his various documentaries in order to illustrate how history is made to come to life for popular audiences over television. Spanning work from the early 1980s to his most recent 2016 series for the BBC, the presentation covered the varied and multicultural projects that Professor Wood has worked on throughout his career: clips ranged from those shot in an airplane searching for the roots of England in the time of Domesday; attempts to trace the footsteps of the Anglo-Saxons through an archaeological dig; anecdotes from villagers in rural India and a recent look at the history of China. The talk was followed by an opportunity for the full audience of students, alumni and academics in The Pichette Auditorium to ask their own questions before a drinks reception and dinner which was attended by Professor Wood and members of the History Society. The evening left those who attended with a sense not only of the visual history of many different nations throughout many different periods, but also a history of broadcast and a narration of how making original historical documentaries for television has developed over forty years.

‘Tackling Climate Change: Rhetoric or Reality?’ PROFESSOR LORD KREBS KT FRS FMEDSCI ML

As a member of the Climate Change Committee – the government’s advisory body – Lord Krebs’ primary focus was on the UK response to the substantial risks that the world faces from continued changes to the climate. The UK has legislated to reduce its own greenhouse gas emissions to 80% of 1990 levels by 2050. In 2015, emissions had already decreased by 35%, whilst GDP had continued to rise.

Tackling climate change – rhetoric or reality? In March, the Inaugural London Lecture welcomed Lord Krebs to speak on the progress that the UK has made in tackling climate change.

This was the good news. Much of this drop in emissions was not due to specific climate change policies, and many of the easier changes had already been achieved. Substantial amounts of new policy will be required to meet the legal targets, and this will likely increase some costs.

Royal Society, London SW1

The audience at the Royal Society were told that the science on climate change was clear – human activities are increasing the levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which warms the planet. Temperature measurements from the UK and around the globe demonstrate that the last decade

It is not yet clear what all these policies will be, but new technologies, fuels and efficiency savings will be required. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions will also have other benefits, with reductions in air pollution the most obvious example.

Lord Krebs also discussed prominent political figures who argue for less ambitious goals, often highlighting that the UK is only a relatively small part of the problem. Although this is true, the UK is not acting alone. The signing of the 2015 Paris Agreement by 195 nations demonstrated that the world is aiming to reduce net emissions of greenhouse gases to zero during the second half of the century, so limiting further warming. Every country will be playing their part in meeting this challenge, although the emission reduction promises made so far are unlikely to be enough to avoid global temperatures crossing the agreed limit of 2°C above preindustrial levels. The global political climate is clear, but there are significant challenges ahead, especially due to political events since the signing of the Paris Agreement. Some things have not changed. The science of climate change has been long understood. The UK, along with every nation, will have to both mitigate against future risks by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but also adapt to further inevitable changes to the climate. Ed Hawkins (1995)

In April we were delighted to welcome Susan Cooper, author of many beloved fantasy novels including the critically-acclaimed The Dark is Rising series, to deliver this year’s J R R Tolkien Lecture on Fantasy Literature. During her time at Oxford, Susan attended lectures by J R R Tolkien and C S Lewis, and covered Roger Banister’s record-breaking four minute mile in The Cherwell. Susan became the first female editor of that newspaper and then worked for The Sunday Times under Ian Fleming, before emigrating to the United States. The Dark is Rising, published between 1965 and 1977, won a Newbery Medal, a Newbery Honour Award, and two Carnegie Honour Awards. Susan spoke about her experiences at Oxford; the work of fellow members of the ‘Oxford school’ of fantasy literature (Alan Garner, Diana Wynne Jones, Philip Pullman); the role of the Welsh concept of ‘hiraeth’* in the writing process; and the importance of fantasy literature in an age dominated by ‘Fake News’ and the idolisation of celebrities. After the talk William Brockbank (2015) and Augustus Porter (2016) facilitated a Q&A, selecting questions from an audience made up of students, alumni, academics, and people from outside the College who had travelled from all over the country to attend. This was followed by a drinks, dinner and finally, second dessert in the MCR. The talk and Q&A can be watched on our website, tolkienlecture.org

Pembroke Diversity Week is an annual event organised by the Liberation Council. The list of events included at the 2017 Diversity Week included an LGBT Welfare Tea, a film screening on Stuart Hall, a Peminist discussion on Canada’s Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women, a panel discussion on Why is Oxford so Unrepresentative, an Open Mic Night and an International Food Festival. Our panel event included speakers from the Campaign for Racial Equality (CRAE), Class Act and the Disabilities Network. This event shed light on the steps required for Oxford to be more representative of the wider UK populace. However, most importantly, it highlighted that in the discussion on access, disabilities are never really a focus, and they often get side-lined – something the University needs to address. Further, our Open Mic Night drew in a lot of student poets, musicians and spoken word artists from across the various Colleges in the University. Some students shared pieces about their experiences as minority students, others as women, others about their sexuality, and others, poems that celebrated and showcased their cultural heritage. It was a wonderful night. Our highlight event was the International Food Festival. This event was particularly special because it necessitated a collaboration with students within College and in the wider University. Jiaxen Lau, a physicist at Pembroke, expertly made dumplings throughout the evening and ensured a steady supply. The Mexican Society provided Mexican food, Rachel’s Café provided SouthEast Asian food, the Nigerian Association provided Nigerian Food and other Pembroke students contributed their cultural dishes that made the event the success that it was. Pembroke Diversity Week would not have been possible without the efforts of members of the 2016-2017 Liberation Council which includes: Rebecca O’Brien (Gender Equalities Rep); Immie Hobby (Disabilities Rep); Iris KayeSmith (LGBTQ+ Rep) and Maisie Vollans (Access Rep). Most importantly, the event was so successful because of the engagement and contributions of members of Pembroke College and the wider University.

‘LITERATURE AFTER 3.11’ 1

‘UNIVERSITIES IN AN AGE OF POPULISM’ Annual Fulbright Distinguished Lecture in International Relations 16

THE FIRST TANAKA SYMPOSIUM IN JAPANESE STUDIES On March 11, 2011 parts of northeastern Japan were devastated by what is often referred to as ‘3.11’ or the ‘Triple Disaster’: the Great East Japan earthquake, tsunami and nuclear meltdown at Fukushima. Since the disaster, roughly 16,000 deaths have been confirmed, with about 2,500 still missing and presumed dead. The tsunami caused a level-7 nuclear meltdown at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, releasing radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean, and efforts to contain the damage are ongoing.

More than six years on from 3.11 the focus in literature has arguably shifted from representing the disaster to remembering the disaster. In a book store in the small coastal town of Kamaishi in northeastern Japan a slightly weathered poster hangs in a corner that stocks books related to 3.11. The poster reads: Ichiban kowai no wa fūka suru koto (What we fear most is the fading of memories). The complex relationship between remembering and forgetting trauma is all the more salient in a time when Japan is arguably looking more to its future—the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games — than to its past.

‘FROM TAGS TO TOOLS: USING CROWDSOURCING TO UNDERSTAND AND ENCOURAGE ENGAGEMENT WITH CULTURAL HERITAGE’ Talk

Just as the physical landscape was dramatically altered by the events of 3.11, so too was the literary landscape: academics from Japan, France, Germany, the United States and the UK gathered at Pembroke for a symposium titled ‘Literature After 3.11’, the First Tanaka Symposium in Japanese Studies. The event was made possible through a generous grant from the Tanaka UK Japan Educational Foundation Limited. Academics examined literary works related to 3.11, including fiction, public speeches, cultural criticism, poetry, avant-garde theatre, and film. The keynote speaker for the event was Natsuki Ikezawa, one of the most highly regarded writers in Japan today; he has been awarded numerous literary and cultural prizes, including the Tanizaki Jun’ichirō Prize for Literature, the Itō Sei Literary Prize, the Ministry of Education Award for Fine Arts, and the most prestigious literary prize in Japan, the Akutagawa Prize for Literature. Mr Ikezawa’s keynote lecture, Disasters and Literature, explored 3.11 from a literary, historical and global perspective. It framed the disaster within the broader context of canonical works of disaster literature, natural disasters throughout Japanese history, and other nuclear events such as Chernobyl. Through this symposium participants attempted to bring literary responses to 3.11 to the forefront of discourse at a time when the ‘fading of memories’ seems an inevitability.

Professor Louise Richardson, Vice Chancellor of the University, delivered the Seventh Annual Fulbright Distinguished Lecture in The Pichette Auditorium. The Lecture Series is supported by Pembroke, the Department of Politics and International Relations, the UK-US Fulbright Commission, and the Roth Foundation, and is intended as a way of commemorating Senator Fulbright’s intellectual legacy and his association with the College and the University. Professor Richardson’s timely subject was Universities in an Age of Populism: positing that the work of leading universities is under threat from the prevalence of ‘Fake News’ and ‘alternative truths’. “Truth is an aspiration”, she stated, as she neatly referenced Senator J William Fulbright (1925) – alumnus of the College and one of the greatest exponents of the power of education - throughout her address. The Vice Chancellor concluded by acknowledging the challenge faced by Oxford and its peer universities in regaining and sustaining the rightful respect for learning and expertise. College is now looking forward enormously to next year’s Lecture which will be delivered by Professor Lord Stern in Pembroke on 8th June 2018. Lord Stern has been a preeminent global figure in developing global understanding and policy regarding climate change. His Lecture promises to be an important event, of fitting magnitude for the 70th Anniversary of the Fulbright programme, that grew out of the new set of global institutions that emerged from WWII, and which have helped keep the peace and build prosperity at least until the recent populist wave. He will speak to the subject of how we can define a new international economic and financial architecture for the global agenda in the 21st century.

COMMON ROOM REPORTS JCR Being the President of this year’s JCR Committee has truly been an honour. Elected with a strong mandate, we were thoroughly committed to ensuring each member of our undergraduate student body here at Pembroke was fully supported academically, domestically and mentally. Building upon the fantastic work of the JCRs before us, we created an academic action plan with the College with the aim of improving existing communication channels. We therefore redefined the role of our Subject Reps, enabling them to work as well-equipped points of call for members of the JCR; institutionalised oneto-one meetings with students and tutors to create a better culture of communication; and created a joint JCR-MCR Mentor programme. We produced What Pembroke Does for You, a comprehensive document detailing all the funds and bursaries provided by the College and the JCR. We then designed a brandnew JCR website to house this document alongside new tutor-produced feedback guidelines, simplified mark schemes, and Academic Rep information - all as accessible as possible. Domestically, we underwent a reform to our Formal Hall structure in response to a joint JCR and MCR referendum, resulting in an overall reduction in the numbers of dinners made mandatory for undergraduate students and underwent a self-funded revamp of both the JCR and the Ward Perkins to create a more welcoming social space. Welfare was another huge focus of our committee’s actions this year, and we worked alongside College welfare staff to create an official comprehensive non-academic suspension policy and redefined both the constitution and the role of the Academic Rep to ensure that students taking time away from their studies for reasons beyond their control were adequately supported. Our Welfare Week was designed as a break midway through the term to allow students to unwind and recuperate. We further set up a Diversity Forum with the Master, whereby black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) students could share their experiences with the aim of working towards practical solutions to everyday problems. This led to the creation of an Equalities Fellow, dedicated to continuing the conversation and working towards this goal and the formation of an Afro-Caribbean access programme. Alongside looking after our own members, Pembroke JCR wanted to ensure we kept engaged with the local community, to this

end we created Swipe for Hope, an initiative which enables students to donate to a local homelessness charity when paying for their meal or snacks at our Farthing’s Café. Lastly, to prevent the loss of institutional memory and to solidify all these changes and new initiatives we underwent an entire constitutional rewrite of all the roles given to the various reps and officers that comprise our hardworking JCR Committee! So, all in all it was an incredibly busy and successful year, and it was topped off with the election of another group of dedicated students all passionate about improving the lives of Pembrokians! Hope Oloye (2015) JCR President 2016-17

MCR During the academic year 2016-2017 the Pembroke MCR Committee and community did their utmost to heartily welcome and integrate the new Pembrokians during Freshers’ week and ensure an inclusive, fun and supportive atmosphere for both old and new members. As a committee, we organised a variety of weekly events, such as Cakes & Tea on the welfare front, and the famous bar night every Friday to maintain the MCR’s reputation as being one of the sociable Colleges, where postgraduates can get together in a relaxed atmosphere, share their research and make lasting friendships. Throughout the year, we organised a variety of events with other Colleges, such as exchange dinners and bar exchanges, which enabled our students to integrate into the larger Oxford community and meet more people across the board. In matters of welfare and non-drinking events, we tried our best at being creative with, for instance, board game evenings in order to accommodate as many people as possible. We took the academic aspects very seriously, resulting in a highly acclaimed MCR Research Symposium, and the MCR was furthermore involved in the ‘Ditchley Festival of Ideas' with the Ditchley Foundation and Balliol MCR, who invited us to send ten people from our vibrant and stimulating community. On top of that, we cultivated our relationship with Queen’s in Cambridge, resulting in a thoroughly thrilling trip to their College and hosting them at ours. Despite being run by a committee, the MCR attempted to be decentralised and encourage people, both committee and non-committee members, to run their own events, such as an AI film screening or pub quizzes at College to which the JCR was also invited. We also successfully negotiated a

reform to the structure of Formal Hall with the Governing Body and the JCR, taking everyone's interests to heart. Overall, it’s been a very successful year where the great relationships with the college and the JCR were maintained and we hope we provided every member ‒ and also guest ‒ with the best possible experience. Yannick Lambert (2015) MCR President 2016-2017

JCR/MCR MENTORING SCHEME One of the more exciting developments in College life over the past year has been the creation and successful implementation of the JCR/MCR Mentoring Scheme. The project was founded by Will Brockbank (former MCR Academic Rep) and Will Fawcett (former MCR President and General Rep), in conjunction with the Academic Office, with a view to foster stronger ties between the MCR and JCR and to provide undergraduate students with the chance to seek advice from their postgraduate peers. The Mentoring Scheme was conceived of as a facilitative programme, which would enable undergraduates to approach those who have already completed their undergraduate studies and made the transition to graduate study. While mentoring sessions do not constitute tutorials, they are intended to be supplementary to them, with undergraduates encouraged to request help with study skills, time management, and career advice, in informal meetings, usually over a (free!) coffee at Farthings Café. Sam Wood, who did his undergraduate degree in English and is himself now on the MSt in English Literature (1830-1914), had this to say about the scheme: “The mentoring scheme gave me both a useful channel of support as an undergraduate finalist and an insight into postgraduate life at Pembroke. I think that this kind of contact between JCR and MCR members is indispensable.” Describing his experience of the scheme, Augustus Porter, second-year DPhil student in Astrophysics, said: “It was a great opportunity to use my past experiences to help someone in what can be a stressful time, and to reflect on my own time as an undergraduate. It was also incredibly fulfilling to see my mentee gain confidence as the year progressed, and observe him finding his place at Pembroke.” For more information, see: www.pmb.ox.ac.uk/news/jcr-mcr-mentoring

SPORTS AND SOCIETIES SPORTS REPORT

PCBC REPORT

BLACKSTONE

The array of sports at Pembroke is fantastic, and it wouldn’t be possible without the support of the College. Pembroke should pride itself on this and the fabulous community that surrounds the teams. Not only are they great to be a part of, but along the way the College has achieved some fantastic results. Here is a handful of things Pembroke achieved this year…

Pembroke College Boat Club maintained its status this year as one of the University’s leading College clubs, in both our commitment to sporting excellence and our dedication to fostering a welcoming environment for those of all abilities.

Dame Heather Carol Hallett DBE, the current Vice-President of the Court of Appeal Criminal Division, delivered the annual Blackstone Lecture on Saturday 20th May 2017. Entitled Juries: Past and Present, the Lecture explored the current operation of trial by jury. Dame Heather discussed the difficulties that juries face when deciding multiple counts, and the controversial issue of whether the jury should hear of the defendant’s character. The next question tackled was: are judges wrong to place so much faith in juries? She explained that trial by jury is seen as unfair and time-consuming in some instances, as well as being a luxury that is very expensive. Moreover, it was emphasised that perhaps the most troubling problem is the increasing trend of jurors ignoring directions against using the internet. Whilst these contemporary problems were viewed as challenging, Dame Heather was keen to highlight the historical importance of the jury; with Blackstone’s insistence that the jury should not be dominated by judges becoming the only means by which law could not be used as a tool for oppression. She concluded that we cannot overlook the jury’s role, especially in the light of Brexit, and further that she does not advocate a return to trial by jury in civil cases, especially given the need for consistency in terms of damages. On the other hand, she gave support for the continued role of juries in criminal cases which are sufficiently serious in their effect on society or the individual.

The Rugby team not only got some stellar new kit but they managed to earn themselves a double promotion! Netball moved from strength to strength and put out their largest and most refreshed team at the mixed cuppers this year. Lacrosse saw a flourish of new players and the team is in the very capable hands of Esme Wilson (2016) next year. Football had a tremendous season with College members’ devotion to the sport becoming increasingly more noticeable. Captain, Karl Frey, says the highlight of the season was seeing the team put in so much effort and energy into the match against Exeter College. The cricket team had a great summer and played each match to every last ball, quite literally in the team’s match against St Peter’s – Pembroke won the game with the last ball. Pembroke also excelled in many other sports such as Squash, Badminton, Tennis, Pool and of course rowing (which you’ll hear more about later). Beyond College, Pembroke students represent the University in several sports. From football to rowing to netball to water polo. The support and funding offered by Pembroke enables the College to have so many players at University level and it is highly appreciated by all the athletes. Finally, our Sports Personality of the Year for 2016-17 was awarded to Matt Doyle. Matt is not only a phenomenal rugby player but he also plays Pool, Football, Tennis, Cricket, Rounders... overall representing Pembroke in nearly all the sports we offer.

Michaelmas term saw a new intake of novices to the Club, who had their first taste of side-by-side racing at Christ Church Regatta. In January PCBC started the new year with a charity ‘ergathon’, raising over £500 for the Oxfordshire Sexual Abuse and Rape Crisis Centre by racing Pembroke College, Cambridge, to see who could erg the distance between us the fastest. At Torpids, M1 triumphed over Oriel to retain the Headship for a sixth consecutive year. Our boys also performed well at Henley Fours and Eights Head, winning both the Intermediate 1 and 2 categories. M2 proved that they are a force to be reckoned with, again finishing Torpids as the highest ranked 2nd VIII, and remaining in Division 1. W1 were unfortunately beset by substitutions, but rowed admirably to finish fifth on the river. Hopes of Summer VIIIs Headship for W1 were dashed again this year as they failed to catch Wadham by mere inches, despite being the faster crew. Our girls in pink produced four speedy row-overs to finish second on the river. M1 rowed over in fourth each day behind bitter rivals Oriel, whilst successfully fending off the Wolf. As in previous years, PCBC had the most boats on the river at the event, with over 70 talented Pembrokians competing. In what was a fantastic end to the academic year, M1 went to Henley Royal as the only Oxbridge College to qualify for the Temple Challenge Cup, before being narrowly beaten by Trinity College, Dublin. Three members of PCBC competed on the Tideway this year representing the University squads: Florence Pickles (Women’s Blue Boat); Victoria Warner (Isis); and Jess Glennie (Osiris). We are also proud to announce that former PCBC President and home-grown Pembroke rower Katherine Erickson has been elected President of Oxford University Women’s Boat Club for the 2017/18 season.

Aside from the Lecture, members of the Blackstone Society gained access to a variety of events hosted by City law firms. Notably, members attended commercial awareness workshops run by Clifford Chance before Christmas, and subsequently enjoyed several networking events with employers such as Hogan Lovells, Freshfields and Travers Smith. These events were often run by Pembroke alumni in the legal industry, which was fantastic in that it provided an opportunity for both law and non-law students currently at Pembroke to speak to lawyers who not long ago were in their shoes, about the available career paths.

SPORTS AND SOCIETIES PEMINISTS

JCR ART The academic year began with a stunning exhibition of the works of ArmenianLebanese artist Krikor Momdjian, who is now based in the Netherlands. This was the first solo exhibition to be held at Pembroke Gallery, and this venture allowed for some spectacular interaction with the oeuvre of this very talented and considered artist. Indeed, the exhibition included an interactive instalment in the centre of the gallery space, crafted specially for this groundbreaking exhibition at Pembroke. The exhibition commenced with a special evening viewing which included speeches by Pembroke Fellow, Theo Van Lint, Curator of Art, Sarah Hegenbart and JCR Art Fund President, Meris Ryan-Goff, as well as some marvellous live music composed by Christoph D Ostendorf and performed by Florian Hille, incorporating the lyrics of Krikor’s poetry ‒ some of which was written in Pembroke College’s own Salt Room. Krikor has a strong connection with Pembroke College, and kindly gifted the collection a couple of original works upon leaving Oxford. Hilary Term 2017 marked a very special anniversary for the Pembroke College JCR Art Fund Collection; the very first acquisition made for the collection is recorded 70 years earlier in Hilary Term of 1947. Anthony Emery (1917-2015), the Collection’s founder and inspiration, had come to Pembroke as a mature student with a new, radical and determined vision for how art could be a more integral part of students’ lives. This vision and its realisation have come to be so meaningful that today we are still celebrating - and actively partaking in Emery’s legacy.

Accordingly, the JCR Art Fund Committee decided to hold a special commemoratory exhibition. The selection of works for this exhibition not only acted as a retrospective guide through the development of the collection (including, for example, works by John Minton, John Piper, and John Craxton which were among the first 19 pieces bought under the leadership of Emery and the expert counsel of Sir Kenneth Clarke), but also seamlessly brought the collection right up to the present moment - almost to the very minute - with artworks by the Artist Collective “Cypher” (Erin Hughes, Holly Graham, Amba Sayal-Bennett and Laszlo von Dohnanyi). These works - which were acquired by the JCR Art Fund to mark this special anniversary - created an interesting dialogue, across the gallery space, with other significant, older works already well known to regular visitors and the student body. This exhibition was also an opportunity to explore new time-based media (as seen in Erin Hughes’ video and Amba SayalBennett’s projection), a medium which was first seen in the Pembroke Gallery in Hilary Term 2016. The exhibition itself opened in style with an A-list of guest speakers and artists invited to celebrate the anniversary. Among these guests were JCR Art Fund Patron Lynne Henderson, former Pembroke Fellow Nico Mann, of The Warburg Institute, Jon Whiteley, of the Ashmolean Museum, and Will Atkin, of the Courtauld Institute of Art. A landmark catalogue documenting some of the most loved pieces and a large percentage of the collection was also produced by the Art Fund Committee in order to preserve this moment in the Fund’s development. The catalogue traces the history of the JCR Art Collection and its many unique and fascinating stories, and is still available to purchase from the JCR Art Fund Committee. 2016/17 also saw some excellent talent in the JCR art-sphere with many high quality entries to the JCR art competitions, and a very successful Arts Week hosted by Sydney Gagliano (JCR Art Representative) and a team of undergraduates. This coming term there will be a very special commemoratory exhibition of the works of Rachel Owen (1968-2016). Meris Ryan-Goff (2015) JCR Art Fund Committee President

Anniversary Exhibition Launch

I took on the role of Gender Equalities Rep this year in order to continue the great work of my predecessor, Ronni Blackford; encouraging accessible feminism. This year in our almost weekly discussions we have discussed a number of issues including female representation in art, mental health, activism online and religion. An important aim of this years Peminists (continuing Ronni’s tradition of having multiple cochairs) was to have many different topics to represent all the many different people that call themselves feminists. For example, Anna Yamaoka’s discussion of Canada’s Murdered and Missing Indigenous women was both educational and emotional, showing that Indigenous women have multiple struggles; sexism, racism and poverty. Harry Griffiths also ran a session in Michaelmas Term on how gender roles affect men’s ability to open up about mental health, showing our belief that everyone is affected negatively by the patriarchy and therefore we all should be feminists. Another integral part of my role is to help organise Diversity Week, set up by last year’s Liberation Council. Together with the help of the LGBTQ Rep (Iris Kaye-Smith), the REM Rep (Elizabeth Opemipo Oladunni), the Disabilities Rep (Imogen Hobby) and the Access Rep (Maisie Vollans), we organised a very popular, powerful week for all of those in college to show how much we value diversity and individuality. The International Food Festival was very well attended, probably due to the great amount of delicious free food! Yet the star of the week was the panel discussion where multiple student representatives came together to discuss the question of Oxford’s lack of representation using perspectives from people of colour, disabled students, LGBTQ students and working class students. This was an incredibly successful week and I’m sure will be developed by our future liberation councils. Rebecca O’Brien (2015) JCR Gender Equality Rep Photo credit: Jim Chuchu

ANNUAL FUND

TOM WILLIAMS ANNUAL FUND MANAGER Telethon Student Callers This is my first piece for The Pembroke Record, having taken over the position of Annual Fund Manager from Kendall Murphy in November 2016. In my relatively short time in the role, I have genuinely been bowled over by the levels of generosity shown by those who have attended here. I would like to thank you all for your wonderful support. Through the Telethon, our annual brochure mailing, social media, our ‘12 Week Challenge’ and, importantly, meeting many of you at events - not just at Pembroke but around the world - we have aimed to demonstrate all that the Annual Fund supports. We have been rewarded with a fantastic response, and last year 1,024 donors including 160 from overseas gave £419,000 in support of the College, more than a £10k increase on the year before. Crucially the number of alumni donating on a monthly or annual basis has also increased and our growing number of regular donors has led to £232k already committed in firm pledges at the start of the 2017-18 academic year. This reflects a steady growth as shown in the chart (right). This generous and reliable income ensures that all students here not only enjoy an excellent academic experience but also all of the added extras that make College life so special. A particular highlight of the year was our Annual Fund Series event held in June to thank all those who have supported the Annual Fund over the previous few years. The event brought together an audience of alumni, students, Fellows, staff and other friends of Pembroke, who were treated to a fun and interesting afternoon at College. A packed schedule saw guests enjoy presentations from Oxnet Advisor, Matt Garraghan and History DPhil student Greg Hynes, a performance from the Choir and a fascinating talk from guest speaker Dr Desirée Cox (Clinical Medicine, 1987). A true polymath, Desirée is a medical doctor specializing in psychiatry, an entrepreneur, a published writer and poet and a jazz artist. Her talk was followed by a Q&A session facilitated by two current medical students, Megan Knock (2016) and Ebubechi Okpalugo (2016).

Our aim for this year is to build on the strong foundations and generous alumni that we have and continue to grow the Annual Fund so that its benefits to students, both current and future, increases year on year. The Annual Fund’s strength is that it enables College to support all parts of Pembroke life but it also serves three main purposes. Firstly, it is hugely important in supporting Pembroke’s leading Outreach and Access programme, working with schools across the UK to ensure that pupils from all backgrounds are able to study here. Academically, the fund plays a big part in safeguarding the Tutorial system which remains a central part of College and brings together students, tutors and Fellows from within and across subjects. It also ensures that students continue to live, work and study in an environment that is both traditional and state-of-the-art, supporting them to achieve their full potential.

Away from these main areas, the Annual Fund also supports the Arts and sport within College. In addition, there is a small amount set aside each year that a panel of JCR and MCR members can distribute to student projects. In 2016-17 these projects included the Tolkien Lecture, two lectures organised by the History Society, several student productions held in The Pichette Auditorium and the JCR Diversity Week. Look out for the ‘Sponsored by the Annual Fund’ stamp in the Academic Events section (pp8-13). On a personal level, I’d like to thank Pembroke for welcoming me into its famously familial community and I look forward to meeting many more of you, in the year ahead.

STAFF NEWS LONG SERVICE AWARDS 25 years Joan Dolton, Accounts Assistant 15 years Purvein Hussain, Scout Jane Richmond, Bursars’ Secretary 10 years Amanda Ingram, Archivist Sarah Cox, Library Assistant Chris Long, SCR Butler Merrill Herbert, Development Database & Research Manager

WELCOMES Clara Chivers, Communications Officer and Curator of Art Tom Williams, Annual Fund Manager Julian Robertshaw, Weekend Lodge Receptionist Mai Musie, Alumni Relations and Planning Manager Sunita Masih, Scout Nuala Darnell, Events Administrator Jonathan Garrow, Boatman Rajita Khadka, Scout Alberto Ruiz de Elias, Catering Assistant Manuela Jimenez, Catering Assistant Richard Kutty-Vergis, Lodge Receptionist Kirsty Simpson, Academic Administrator (UG Admissions & Access) Michael Hookham, Junior Chef de Partie

At this year’s Long Service Awards ceremony the Master, Dame Lynne Brindley started the event by observing that this year those celebrated had contributed a combined total of 85 years of service to the College. She further noted that the significant turn out of colleagues present paid tribute to the extraordinary sense of community that Pembroke evokes. Bursar, John Church, spoke first and observed that the College Accounts team of which Joan Dolton (Accounts Assistant) is acknowledged as the cornerstone - is second to none throughout the University. He described Joan as a colleague who always “goes the extra mile and looks beyond the ordinary”. And, as everyone in College is aware, she is “a fantastic team member who lights up the room everywhere she goes”. He went on to speak of Jane Richmond (Bursars’ Secretary) and how over 15 years of working together he has come to value not

just her tolerance and good grace, but also her candour and her capacity to take into account the interests of all staff at all levels. Mike Naworynksy, Home Bursar, paid tribute to Purvein Hussain (Scout), whom he described as running the College behind the scenes - a piece of the jigsaw puzzle that makes College so special. He also paid testament to Chris Long (SCR Butler) whom he referred to as “critical to what we do: a key member of the team and a good friend to all the SCR”. Adrian Gregory, Library Fellow and Associate Professor of Modern History spoke about Amanda Ingram (Archivist) and Sarah Cox (Library Assistant) describing them respectively as “the custodian of the College who links the present and the past” and “the bedrock of what we do”. The ceremony was concluded by the Master proposing a toast in honour of all those commemorated.

MIKE NAWORYNSKY OBE HOME BURSAR

I suspect that by the time one has got to my piece in The Pembroke Record, having been informed and amazed about all the activities and initiatives that have been put in place or which have taken place in the past year, a certain sense of déjà vu may be setting in. How many staircases have been refurbished? How many delicious dinners have been served? And what impact has the domestic operation had in the past year? And possibly even - ‘didn’t he say that last year?!’ Well, clearly we have continued to provide all the support the College community needs. Refurbishment has happened, ‘things’ have been fixed and mandatory regulations adhered to and so on. But this year I would like to draw particular attention to that element which makes the College so special: the people within the Domestic Department who go the extra mile – not occasionally but just about every day and as a matter of routine. The team who, together, try to make sure that life’s frictions and frustrations don’t distract students from their studies by generally making the College a home. The Scouts who look out for students – the individual who is finding life a bit tough and just needs a friendly chat in the morning (at whatever time ‘morning’ turns out to be…). The Junior Deans who put so much of their time into helping students cope with exam stress or even home-sickness in the early

days. The Catering Department (pictured right) who day in and day out prepare fresh food, help with last minute changes of plan and generally make life easier when a student is up against an essay crisis (and provide, arguably, the best coffee in Oxford in our Farthings café). The maintenance team who cheerfully do those jobs that are by definition less than glamorous but are essential (how did the shoe get into the gutter above Staircase 9?). The Events team who patiently explain (again) the process for getting a ‘great idea’ into action and guide the process – offering gentle but helpful advice. The IT specialists who save that important data, keep us all connected through the magic of Wi-Fi, and fix ‘that laptop’ (the one which is only ever going to fail when its owner is under pressure) when time is running out. The Accommodation team who every year settle all the Freshers into their new home and then find space for all the ‘extra’ activities that we fit in – often at short notice. And, last but not least, the Porters: the ones who are a friend late at night and can help make things look a bit more reasonable at times; the ones who watch out for the College students; the ones that greet everyone that arrives and say farewell when they leave. That is the priceless element of what we have here at Pembroke. And without all of the above, we wouldn’t have as much success – academically or in the social life of the College. The 2017 College Ball (pictured below) was an excellent example of how every part of the College pulled together to put on a fantastic evening of entertainment. The student committee came up with the concept, arranged all the logistics and worked side by side with College staff to make it all work and make some money for charity at the same time – a great effort from the Ball President Ella Siney and her committee. Likewise, the annual Garden Party – bigger than ever this year - another very special opportunity for every part of our community to mix and to admire our beautiful gardens, tended to by Richard and which draw praise.

It has also been a year for more change. Our IT Department have joined forces with their colleagues in Christ Church to form a new ‘Joint Information, Communication and Technology’ (JICTS) team to provide IT support across both Colleges. This innovative approach means that we have boosted our resilience through having a larger team, and we are saving resources by pooling expertise and harmonising requirements to save money on procurement. Pembroke now employ the whole team under a joint management structure led by Simon Thomson. This summer has seen us finally repairing and replacing the listed windows on the Brewer Street façade – a challenge as the road needed to be closed due to the amount of scaffolding needed. We are also continuing to replace obsolete and unreliable boilers with newer energy-efficient models, and two more staircases at the GAB have been fully renovated. New furniture in the MAC building and a redecoration of Schild and Wagstaff buildings (yes ‒ they have been open that long!) add to the list of summer works with our in-house team dealing with the normal maintenance tasks. Like the proverbial painting of The Forth Road Bridge – the job will never be done but we are certainly doing our best to keep on top of things. So, overall another superb year of teamwork and achievement: well done Pembroke!

ACCESS

PETER CLAUS ACCESS FELLOW Cast your mind back to my contribution to this esteemed journal last year, and you may recall a call for the College and the University to renew itself from the English regions (and Wales and Scotland for that matter). I also articulated a conviction that ever greater academic achievement and a growing diversity are marching hand in hand. With our applications from the maintained sector rising by over 52% in the last 10 years (in the same period the University as a whole recorded an increase of about 17%) many of our undergraduates who are involved in teaching on the Pembroke and OxNet academic Access programmes did very well in their examinations (no better way to learn than teach), my contention may not be so lacking in evidence as I had feared. Pembroke also has a positive story to tell in terms of the regional impact of its outreach (24% of Freshers from the North West against a University average of 10%) and in reaching the more socially disadvantaged, with 44% of UK offer holders having one or more access flags of economic and social deprivation. I take pleasure at this point in pausing to emphasise that Pembroke has just had its best ever year for academic achievement... Admissions only tell a limited story. Thinking now about the fast-approaching 10 year anniversary of Pembroke running

intensive Access-related activity, it is probably true that we have reached in excess of 4,000 young people over this time, with relatively few (as is the way of things) making it through to Oxford, let alone Pembroke. The principle has always been that a rising tide raises all the boats, and the metrics above have probably justified that approach. We recognise, however, that crosscollegiate cooperation was needed, which is why OxNet was created in order to make our networks connect better, meaning school pupils who might never have considered the intrinsic value of an Oxford education are prepared academically through intensive courses and summer schools and most certainly don’t reject Oxford because of “unwarranted myths and fears”. This academic approach to outreach reached some sort of pitch this year in the unalloyed success of Access Week: in the first week of August an alternative College was in place. We took our theme – “The World Machine” - from the Ordered Universe Project, a Pembroke-Durham University international research project that researches the ‘scientific’ writings of the medieval scholar, Bishop Grosseteste (c.1170-1253). Young people drawn from all our networks in London, the North West and now the North East adopted the methods of the ‘senior’ project and the results were astounding. Professor Giles Gasper from Durham helped break down subject boundaries and helped build up confidence in the pupils that they might muse and speculate as part of the learning process – vital qualities to nurture if interdisciplinary research and the transition from Further to Higher Education are to be made successfully. Other senior academics from both Oxford and Durham supplemented these seminars through lectures and workshops while the other streams that flowed through the week in Humanities, Science and Theology regularly combined in lectures that spanned all, and spoke to our overarching

Access event

theme that knowledge should be universal and unbounded. Scientists could become Humanities and Social Science pupils and vice versa. Meanwhile our resident artist, Alexandra Carr, worked in the chapel to produce a “soothing and beguiling” lightbased multimedia sculpture, Ether. Alex offered an ‘Option Session’ on art and science along with colleagues offering other sessions from institutions as diverse as Northumbria (environmental history) and New York University (the origins of writing). Essays and posters were produced and defended in tutorials while the Joseph Owen Formal Dinner saw a packed Hall with about 170 in attendance overflowing into the Gallery and overflowing, too, with excitement. The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Louise Richardson, was on hand at the end of the week to give out Scholar and Exhibition prizes which capped a good year for OxNet as Colleges and Divisions grew in the recognition that our outreach activity ought to be: (1) intense, challenging and multidisciplinary, (2) delivered collaboratively through our intercollege and inter-university research-based networks, (3) adequately funded in order to ensure that Oxford’s quality of Access activity matches that of its globally recognised research and teaching.

FINANCE requirements. It has also provided the financial framework for all major decisions and the means of tracking the College’s performance against the agreed targets.

JOHN CHURCH BURSAR Manage the money carefully, speak up at Governing Body Meetings and be nice to Chef… This was the advice given to me by a long serving college bursar when I took up my post at Pembroke in early 2003. Regarding the advice about managing the money carefully, I have found myself reflecting on the way in which Pembroke’s financial situation has improved in recent times and the way in which, collectively, that has been achieved. Good financial management needs a clear context in which to operate and, at Pembroke, that has been provided by a robust strategic planning process. On a regular basis, the Governing Body has reviewed its strategy for taking the College forward, debating and agreeing the key initiatives needed to achieve the overall objective. As the world does not stand still, the whole process has been repeated every four years or so to take account of the College’s latest position and to recalibrate the strategic focus. To facilitate each round of strategic planning, the College’s Finance Team has developed and used a sophisticated financial modelling tool. Essentially, this is a 10 year projected income and expenditure account, which takes into account changes to income and cost as a result of the initiatives included in the Strategic Plan. It also produces a projected balance sheet for each year end. This financial planning tool has been used iteratively to ensure that all the planned initiatives are affordable and to identify funding

In terms of the on-going means of financial management, the College has developed a rigorous budgeting process. It starts with ‘top down’ guidance, in response to which detailed ‘bottom up’ proposals are prepared by each department in the College. These are then reviewed by the Bursar, the Finance Team and the College’s Finance and Planning Committee to ensure that, overall, the proposed financial position for the following year is acceptable. The next stage in the process is for College Officers and senior managers to present their budget proposals to a review group, which normally also includes an Advisory Fellow. After this challenge, the proposals are refined and agreed and then signed off by Governing Body during Trinity Term. Responsibility for delivering against those budget targets is delegated to College Officers and their senior managers. This ensures that there is complete ownership of both income and cost targets and this sense of proprietorship is very much in evidence in the way in which budget holders manage the money as if it were their own. So, how has this approach helped to achieve the College’s strategic objectives? Another college bursar recently described Pembroke to me as being “the Phoenix College” and I believe strongly that our robust financial management processes have been a significant factor in enabling the Governing Body to turn around the College’s fortunes, but in different ways during three distinct phases: Normalisation is a good way to describe the way in which the College was able to improve the experience of all its members after a period in which tough measures had to be taken to restore financial order. During this phase, in the early 2000s, careful management of the income and expenditure account enabled us to improve the ratio of Fellows/academics to students and to start repairing the estate, which was in a sorry condition.

Transformation describes well the effect that the New Build Project and other associated initiatives has had on the College in providing fantastic new facilities. The original idea was to provide accommodation for all our secondyear undergraduates who had to live out (often in very poor quality accommodation) but quickly it was realised that we could do so much more, and this led to the provision of the Auditorium, Farthings Café, the Art Gallery and some very nice and modern meeting rooms. The cost of the project was determined by a business case which also identified the funding need of £30 million which was met by a combination of a longterm bank loan and the proceeds of the Bridging Centuries Campaign. Consolidation was needed after the completion of these works in 2013 to make sure that the new facilities were operating well and in line with the business case developed for the project - with a particular focus on increased income from conference business and ensuring that the operating costs were in line with expectations. I am pleased to report that these objectives have been achieved. During this phase we were also able to focus resources on our Access programme and to provide increased financial support to our students and academics. It should also be stressed that whilst careful financial management played a key part in these achievements, none of this would have been possible without the support of those many alumni who gave generously to College during this period. Notwithstanding the College’s recent successes, the Governing Body is very conscious that there is still much more to be achieved and is finalising its latest Strategic Plan, which sets out the ambitions for the period leading up to the College’s 400th Anniversary in 2024 and beyond. These plans will be made public shortly. I believe that the financial position reflected in the figures which follow provides a solid platform for the future, and I hope and believe it will encourage Pembroke alumni to continue with their support.

The financial statements were approved and authorised for issue by the Governing Body of Pembroke College on: 29 November 2017 Master: Dame L J Brindley Bursar: Mr J E Church

The detailed figures for the College’s Income and Expenditure Account and Balance Sheet for 2016-17 are shown above. It is worth noting that total income of £13.1 million is £1.1 million more than last year and was comfortably ahead of budget, due principally to the level of investment income and donations. Total Expenditure was £11.4 million, a rise of £0.3 million from the previous year, which means that, overall, the surplus was £1.7 million. If capital donations are excluded, this surplus reduces to a level comfortably above break-even which is the College’s financial objective at all times. It is also worth noting that cash of £0.3 million was generated.

The balance sheet was strengthened further with net assets growing by £6.5 million, due to the increase in long term investments, including property, which rose to £60.6 million. Over the year, the College received a total return on its long-term investment portfolio of 11.9%, in line with market movements and in excess of the College’s long term target draw-down of RPI + 3.5%. So, overall, I believe the money has been managed well and yes, during my time as Bursar, I have spoken up at Governing Body meetings but, more importantly, I

have found that my colleagues have always listened and challenged me in a very effective way, such that there has been collective responsibility for what has been achieved. As for being nice to Chef, as I am retiring from my post several pounds heavier than when I arrived, there is an obvious conclusion to be drawn…

Clearly 2016-17 was another strong year for philanthropy. The numbers show steady progress on building the Annual Fund at its most granular, dependable ‘general’ level (the graduate scholarship layer tends to be formed of larger-sized regular donations, periodically renewed). But, I do miss our last Campaign. However ghastly the pressure-cooking analogy, the family spirit engendered by all the noise we made was palpable, as Pembroke alumni showed intense pride in ‘what the College could become’. The notion of ‘transformation’ will not be absent this time either. This College is both adaptable and open to the new: it does not stand still. All that momentum requires something solid beneath it. The new buildings are there in all their magnificence. Now we need an endowment that eases the constraints that hold us back from supporting more interdisciplinary research, attracting even more of the best post-graduates to the College, encouraging the collective or individual efforts of our Fellows, and all the time raising the quality of all our students’ experience. Mixed in with all that, our infrastructure still needs improvements to bring Pembroke up to speed with 21st century needs. Those include a new Library, as well as more accommodation for our larger post-graduate numbers. Campaigns tend to start with a ‘quiet’ phase - and a first quiet, highly significant, step was taken in 2016-17, as you can see from the figures. Our excellent Campaign Board, a group of some of our most generous volunteers, together with other dedicated alumni, have together shown the way and donated over £1m as an initial contribution to our new search for capital. Let me be clear: this weighty contribution is largely for “unallocated endowment”. There are no restrictions on what the College can use the money for. Believe me when I say that is important. It is not a blank cheque for the Bursar but sustenance for our core values and purpose, an important shot in the arm for those many existing Tutorial Fellowships across the spectrum of subjects not secured by pots of capital. Thank you, Campaign Board, and may others follow your terrific example as we get underway. We also thank most warmly those many

more donors to our Annual Fund and causes such as Graduate Scholarships who help to meet our year-on-year needs so reliably. Tom Williams has written about a year of success in making regular giving more dependable (p17). Our new Campaign will lay stress on gathering in revenue streams as much as capital: we certainly need both, as Pembroke keeps bounding forwards. 2016-17 also saw Pembroke benefit from a warmly appreciated crop of legacies from the late Ron Parkin (1952), Thomas Foster (1930), Henry Harris (1948), David Lane (1955), Reg Beaumont (1968) and Edmond Wright (1948). At the end of the summer, I started to contact many of you to ask if you are yourselves contemplating leaving a bequest to the College. We are extremely grateful for your responses, whatever you want to tell me. The best intentions can, of course, be knocked off course by any number of eventualities, but the intentions alone give us an indication about the extent to which Pembroke figures in longer-term plans. The College wants to be remembered, and we will always try to do our bit to remind you of your affiliation and, we hope, its value. Are we getting it right or not? It helps to know. As 2016-17 was my last full year at Pembroke, I leave you with an optimistic reflection based on ten years of enjoying your company. I believe – go on, tell me I’m wrong - that you will either keep giving, or start giving, if you see the College has set a clear direction for itself and that this is firmly forwards and fuelled by ambition, even a little risk-taking. It does no harm for a few chips to be stacked against us, a College that has certainly today ‘arrived’, but arrived in much the same well-sprung way as a kangaroo, landing before almost immediately taking off again. Momentum is everything here – and there is something in the DNA which inclines Pembroke people to encourage it. “And so, as the Development Team crank the handle of future munificence and the twin turbo-jets of revenue and capital sputter and fire after taxying to the runway…” Aaarrgghh - but yes – a new campaign is in the making: watch out for more news of our plans in 2018 – and thank you for your continuing support!

Pembroke gave me many new perspectives and life long friends, and on reflecting on my time there, I decided to add Pembroke to other donations we give as a family. As a student, I was aware of the donations from philanthropists, which obviously improved the facilities we enjoyed, and it felt like the right thing to do.

My education at Pembroke College opened many career doors -- not least of which was a rewarding 20-year career working for the United States Congress and a teaching position at Georgetown University. The legal training I received at Pembroke has also been remarkably helpful in my real estate investment activities since my congressional retirement. Of the five universities I have attended, it is Pembroke College I think of first when allocating my charitable giving dollars.

Pembroke made a difference to me: I don’t think I really appreciated it at the time, to be honest! Having tried out a few potential career paths, I ended up becoming a translator and interpreter, which I very much enjoy. Pembroke and particularly Dr Farrant gave me confidence in my capacity to learn and to improve. I decided to give this year for the simple reason that my business is going well and I can therefore afford to help.

During my time at Pembroke I associated our college with an environment of inclusivity and an enduring sense of community; marvelling at the breadth of Pembrokians’ achievements.These can only be accomplished through the hard work of the college fellows and staff, and the commitments of the undergraduates and postgraduates. I believe this is underpinned by the Annual Fund, which is why I’m happy to support it and help promote the expansive college community.

OBITUARIES MAURICE NADIN, 1944 11th May 1923 8th November 2016

Maurice was born in Hampton, London. The youngest of two children born to Percy Nadin and Eleanor Nadin (neè Grunnah). His sister Gwyn was seven years older. His early years were spent moving around the country as his father Percy was involved in the canals, and latterly the railways. Consequently, his employment meant the family was forever moving around. His early childhood was spent in Kings Norton, Birmingham where he recounted that he developed a Birmingham accent and was given elocution lessons. Unbeknown to his parents he very nearly died at the early age of five when he was out playing with his sister in the road when a lorry drove over him. He was wise enough to duck so the vehicle managed to clear him. Maurice was also left -handed, which at that time was very much frowned upon. He was effectively forced by his father and a strict schoolmaster to write with his right hand which he continued to do for the rest of his life. Very often he would write in capital letters so that his writing could be understood. He attended Ryeford Hall Preparatory school, and subsequently Wycliffe ‒ both in Stonehouse, Gloucestershire. In September 1939 at the age of 16 he recalled listening to Neville Chamberlain’s speech on the radio and his mother bursting into tears, having lived through the Great War. Maurice’s poor eyesight meant he was exempt from military service during the war on medical grounds. However, he undertook National Service at Longmoor Camp in Alton, Hampshire in 1942. He applied for a place at Oxford and settled in at Pembroke College to study PPE. His love affair with Pembroke continued for the rest of his life, adorning his house with photographs of Pembroke and Oxford. He was very active during his time at

Oxford joining the Union Society and the Teasel Club, as well as making all kinds of acquaintances with influential people, notably C S Lewis, and Robert Bernays who he had great affection for. Bernays introduced him to Harold Nicholson and they exchanged regular correspondence. Naturally Maurice was upset when Bernay’s life was tragically cut short when his plane was shot down during the war. He once wrote to Winston Churchill to confirm a story Robert Bernays had told him. He was fortunate enough to receive a reply from Churchill, who unfortunately could not confirm the story. During his time at Oxford Maurice had further encounters with prominent 20th century politicians being tutored by Harold Wilson, as well as being a contemporary student along with Margaret Roberts later to be Margaret Thatcher. Perhaps Maurice’s greatest hero was Brendan Bracken who offered him a position at The Manchester Guardian which he duly accepted after graduating from Oxford. He eventually left the profession of journalism and sought a job as a stockbroker in London. He remained as a stockbroker for the rest of his working life until he retired in 1998 aged 75. Maurice married Dacia Caddey and was blessed with twin girls, Julia and Helen born in 1963. Sadly Maurice lost Dacia to ill health eight years later. He remarried Jane Scott in 1972, fathering three more children; Gerald born in 1973 and more twin girls Sarah and Louise in 1977. Maurice had an immense love of books, anything factual or praised by the TLS (Times Literary Supplement). He also enjoyed a fondness of gardening. Maurice was not a big traveller during his life instead preferring his home comforts and family life. Maurice lived in the family home in Thorpe, Surrey for nearly 50 years until frail health meant he had to move to a care home at the age of 88. In 2012 Maurice made a final pilgrimage to Pembroke organised by his daughter-in-law Fiona, and accompanied by his son Gerald and son-in-law Andrew. Maurice was intent to donate his copy of Cruden’s Concordance to the College. Maurice passed away peacefully aged 93. His funeral service was well attended by his family and friends. Gerald Nadin, son

JOHN THOMPSON, 1946 8th June 1928 – 18th May 2017

John Thompson, who died this year aged 88, was widely regarded as “the father of independent local radio”. First as a specially appointed advisor to the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications, and then as Director of Radio at the Independent Broadcasting Authority, he saw through the birth of the first government-approved radio stations carrying advertisements from the formulation of the initial legislation to the awarding of franchises and beyond. With his multimedia background, he was admirably suited to the task. He had worked in advertising, on magazines and newspapers, in publishing and was a frequent broadcaster on both radio and television. As was noted in his obituary in The Telegraph, he brought a thoughtful and realistic approach to the development of this new medium. While accepting that popular music would be the predominant feature of the output of the new stations he insisted that there should also be an element of what he termed “meaningful speech”. News bulletins were obligatory, each of the stations paying into a central service which provided them not only with national news but also sourced local stories and features. Phone-ins proliferated, giving what are usually termed “ordinary people”, but who often proved to be quite otherwise, access to the airwaves. This was, as Thompson put it, “radio in jeans” but the new stations still had to broadcast a wide range of music including classical. Furthermore, in order to keep the Musicians Union onside it was written into the legislation that three per cent of the music output had to be live. Thompson called his regime “regulation with a light touch”, but ultimately, it seems, it was

not light enough. Shortly after he retired from the IBA a government white paper Competition, Choice and Quality heralded the end of his vision. Meaningful speech became harder to find on the ILR network and commerce rather than independence ruled. However, the stations still owed their provenance to Thompson who was appointed CBE in 1980 in recognition of his services to radio.

ROBERT CLARKE, 1949 28th March 1929 – 1st June 2017

Rationalisation led to a joint venture with United Biscuits, and when that came to an end in 1974, Clarke moved to UB rather than returning to Cadbury.

John Thompson was born in Bangor, Co Down. When he was eight his father, also John, was transferred to London and took his wife Lillian, two sons and one daughter to live in Beckenham, Kent. John’s older brother Pat (A F Thompson) was subsequently for many years a history don at Wadham. John was educated at Dulwich Prep School and at St Paul’s where he was Head Boy. To his permanent regret he was turned down for National Service because of his asthma, so, unlike most of his contemporaries he arrived at Pembroke in 1946 to read History straight from school. Among his tutors were Asa Briggs and Harry Pitt, both of whom became lifelong friends. On graduating, in spite of passing the Foreign Office examination he was again turned down because of his childhood asthma. Instead he went to work as ‘office boy’ to the chairman of the pharmaceutical giant, Glaxo, and then as a copywriter with the advertising agency Masius and Ferguson. However, feeling that there were more satisfying ways of earning a living, when he was asked by an Oxford contemporary, George Scott, to join the staff of the literary and political weekly he edited, he accepted with alacrity. Truth had only one other staff member, Bernard Levin, and the three wrote the magazine between them with occasional contributions from freelance pundits. In 1957, headhunted by Lord Beaverbrook to join The Daily Express, Thompson was sent to New York to write the This is America column. On his return he was briefly the paper’s drama critic before leaving to become an ITN newscaster. Then followed a two year stint as editor of the ailing weekly Time and Tide, which had been bought by the millionaire cleric Tim Beaumont. There Thompson gathered around him a group of highly talented young men, among them Richard West, Peter Jenkins, Mark Frankland and David Pryce-Jones, all later stars in the newspaper firmament. Sadly, in 1962 Beaumont decided to sell the now lively magazine and Thompson moved to the Observer where he was first News Editor and then Editor of the recently launched colour supplement. He completed his portfolio of media posts by becoming Editorial Director of the British Printing Corporation’s publishing division, before moving into independent local radio in 1972. John Thompson married Sylvia (Sally) Waterhouse, a BBC radio producer in 1957. They had two sons and one daughter, all of whom survive him. Sylvia Thompson

job was to manage a chain of sweetshops; in 1957 he became Marketing Director of Cadbury Confectionary, and from 19621971 he was in charge of the group’s foray into an increasingly overcrowded market for packaged cakes.

Having joined the board of Thames Water ahead of its 1989 privatisation, Clarke was its Chairman from 1994-1999 and took a management role from 1996 – 1998 while the company was without a Chief Executive. At a time when privatised water utilities were in the media spotlight for rising charges and perceived failures to maintain pipes and reservoirs, successive rises in Clarke’s salary brought criticism.

Sir Robert Clarke, who has died aged 88, was Chairman of United Biscuits (UB), Thames Water and the trustees of Great Ormond Street Hospital. Bob Clarke was essentially a marketing specialist, and a manager with a human touch who believed that a company should have a moral concern for its staff as well as its shareholders. Having begun his career with Cadbury, he became a Director of United Biscuits in 1974. Quiet, but shrewd, Clarke became a loyal right-hand man to UB’s flamboyant Chairman Hector (later Lord) Laing, of whom he once said: “He’s the sort of man that most people would die for 90% of the time, and the other 10% of the time they could kill him”. As a Managing Director from 1977 and Chief Executive from 1986-1990, Clarke supported Laing in a long phase of expansion. Milestones included the takeover of the chocolate maker Terry’s of York in 1982, the launch of McVitie’s Hobnob biscuits in 1985, a failed bid for the Imperial brewing and tobacco group in 1986, and the acquisition of the frozen seafood business Ross Young in 1988. Clarke succeeded as Chairman in 1990 when Laing became Life President. At its peak in 1991, UB achieved £3 billion of annual sales and more than £200 million in profits, but business conditions had begun to deteriorate and the latter part of Clarke’s five year tenure was marked by retrenchment. Robert Cyril Clarke was educated at Dulwich College. After National Service in the Royal West Kent Regt, he went up to Pembroke College to read History.

On one occasion a tabloid newspaper sent a team to spy on the modest Clarke home, hoping to spot a breach of a hosepipe ban. Finding a scruffily dressed gardener at work, they probed for negative stories about his employer – but the gardener turned out to be Clarke himself. Robert Clarke was knighted in 1992. Throughout the 1990s he lent his time to the development of Great Ormond Street Hospital for children, serving as Chairman of its Special Trustees and a member of its trust board; he was closely involved with the Wishing Well appeal, which eventually raised £54 million. He also sat on a number of food industry bodies, and was a Governor of the World Economic Forum at Davos. Clarke’s pastimes included ‘renovating old buildings’: one such was the family farmhouse which he worked on at weekends for many years. Another was Drayton Hall, a dilapidated 18th century mansion at West Drayton which he had restored and extended as a handsome headquarters for United Biscuits. He married in 1952 Evelyn (Lynne) Harper, who survives him with their three sons and a daughter. Reprinted by kind permission of The Telegraph, 28th June 2017. In addition to the above, Sir Robert Clarke was an Honorary Fellow of Pembroke College and a much-valued member of the community. Previously, he had served as an Advisory Fellow, regularly contributing his great wisdom and experience to Governing Body meetings. He also served for many years on the Development Committee.

In 1952 he joined Cadbury Bros, attracted by the chocolate company’s ethical principals, and started work on the same day as its future chairman, (Sir) Adrian Cadbury. After initial training, Clarke’s first

ROGER DEE, 1952

24th February 1934 10th June 2017

He published many articles in the medical journals and his text book, The Principles of Orthopaedic Practice was widely used and reprinted. After his retirement he was a sought after expert witness in orthopaedic law cases which he enjoyed not only for the professional challenge but for the participation in the drama he had enjoyed in his younger days, now acted out in the courtroom. He died on Long Island, NY, aged 83. He is survived by his wife Uta, his son Dr Christian Dee, daughter Elke Higgins and seven grandchildren. Elke Higgins, daughter

LEONARD PEACH, 1953 17th March 1932 4th August 2016 Roger Dee was born in Newport, Wales. Son of a blacksmith, he was not only the first member of his family to attend university, but the first to attend a grammar school. He won a scholarship to Newport High School at age eleven where, in addition to his studies, he developed a lifelong passion for rugby and drama. He played a leading role both on the field with the First XV and on the stage in school and local productions. He gained a place at Pembroke in 1952 to read Medicine and, of course, he captained the First XV. He also met his wife, Uta, to whom he was married for 58 years. After Oxford he went to the Middlesex Hospital where he became senior Registrar and worked with some of the most distinguished orthopaedic surgeons of the day. In his ‘spare’ time he managed to captain the hospital’s First XV, acted in dramatic and cabaret performances and volunteered to work in the research laboratory of the Royal College of Surgeons. Here he worked towards his PhD on the structure and purpose of the nerve supply of the hip joint. This turned his attention to the problems caused by rheumatoid arthritis in the elbow joint and led to his development of the first elbow joint replacement (the first models for which were made by his blacksmith father). With his FRCS achieved he sought a consultant role and was chosen to replace the famous orthopaedic surgeon George Kenneth McKee at Norwich. The development of Dee’s elbow meant he was now on the international medical lecture circuit. At the American Association of Orthopaedics Surgeons he was asked if he would be interested to start and build up to world standards a new orthopaedic department in the new university medical school and hospital for New York University at Stony Brook. He accepted the challenge, moved to the USA and over the years to his retirement fulfilled his assignment with distinction.

Len was born in Walsall, the eldest of six – it was a happy and close knit family. As a boy, he was (and indeed remained) an avid supporter of Walsall FC, and liked nothing better than a kick-around with friends and his younger brother, Roy, who went on to play for their home town team. While he was a good scholar at Queen Mary’s Grammar school, his father was keen for him to follow him into the foundry business. His teachers approached his mother to persuade her that he should stay on and try for Oxbridge. Mother won the day, and Len duly won a place at Pembroke College – the first in his family to go to university. Before going up, Len did his National Service with the Lancashire Regiment - one of the last units to leave the Sudan where they were training the local defence forces, before moving to the Canal Zone. Len then joined the Territorial Army in the South Staffordshire Regiment, which he enjoyed immensely during 20 years of service. During this time he became captain of the shooting team, and was among the top fifty marksmen in the whole Army – a particularly notable feat given the large number of those serving in the Forces at that time. During his studies Len met Doreen and their mutual interests ensured the relationship

flourished. They married in 1958 and it proved to be the strongest of partnerships. While waiting for his degree results, Len spent time as a research assistant to Randolph Churchill: it was here he started to hone his listening skills and his stamina as he and his colleagues would sit up late into the night as their employer reminisced about his father and the key historical events of recent years. He started his career at a heavy engineering company who dispatched him to the LSE to study for a Diploma in Personnel Management and then joined IBM in 1962. By 1967 he had assumed responsibility for the bulk of the UK Personnel function, where he was at once the head and the heart of the Personnel organisation. Having become Director of Personnel in 1971, he moved to Paris the following year as Group Director, Personnel for Europe, Middle East and Africa. On returning to the UK three years later he re-joined the IBM Board with Corporate Affairs added to his portfolio. Shortly after his return, he led the resolution of an issue with ACAS that was critically important to the company’s future; it was seen by Len as one of the defining moments of his career. The political and public policy aspects of the Corporate Affairs brief were close to his heart, and his subsequent career reflected his contribution on both those fronts. The passing years saw the reputation of IBM’s personnel policies and that of Len himself grow, and in 1983 he was elected President of the Institute of Personnel Management, where he worked tirelessly to ensure that its views were heard in the higher echelons of Government and Industry. In 1985 he accepted a secondment to the Personnel Director’s role in the NHS. Len did both jobs for the next four years and was recognised with the award of a knighthood in 1989. When he retired in 1992, Len embraced a wide ranging portfolio of appointments, including Chairman of the Police Complaints Authority and Commissioner for Public Appointments in England and Wales, as well as Northern Ireland. There were many other non-executive and consultative roles, too numerous to mention. His sons, Mark and David remember the balanced and fair way he treated them: his guidance to treat everyone the same, to give people the benefit of the doubt, to think before acting. In recent years they have seen Len spend time with his grandchildren. He was so very proud of them all. Doreen has been the lynchpin of the family through the years and gave Len immense support. Particularly in recent times she provided Len with loving, dedicated attention and care. As Len said, the pursuit of excellence is a challenging goal – and one that is difficult

to achieve and sustain, but you can have a lot of fun trying. We shall miss him. Doreen Peach adds: Education featured largely in his interests. He was a Governor of Portsmouth Grammar School for 25 years and became Chairman of the University of Westminster. He was the recipient of several honorary degrees and, most treasured, was his Honorary Fellowship of Pembroke College. Sir Roger Bannister and Giles Henderson both wrote of his sound judgement, encouragement and support during their years as Master of Pembroke. People spoke of his leadership, his calmness, his courtesy and gentlemanly manner and, above all, his sense of humour. A French colleague wrote “He was our mentor…. a real friend whose company was always enjoyable since he had this legendary sense of humour which belongs to England only.” It is this latter quality that we, his family, miss the most.

WILLIAM (BILL) CAPPS, 1955 24 June 1935 – 4th April 2017 th

In 1955 my Dad, William John Capps obtained a scholarship to Oxford University. His father thrilled at his achievement brought him a watch with a simple inscription on the back - it read - TO STRIVE AND TO SUCCEED. And that is what my Dad did throughout his life ‒ he strove and did his best to succeed, whether that was in his career, his marriage or just simply trying to be a good father to both Helen and I. My Dad had a strong social conscience and this influenced his career direction on leaving Oxford. He became passionate about local government and carved out a career in finance working with Salop County Council. In 1977 Dad joined the Charted Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy CIPFA. Here he laid the foundations for the institute’s work in health. CIPFA was an organisation that my dad absolutely loved and he worked with them with absolute passion and commitment for the rest of his career. He was incredibly proud of their achievements and was an excellent advocate of them. He once put Robin Day in his place when being interviewed by him for The World At One.

Noel Hepworth, Director of CIPFA, said: “We can all look back and think of people we are glad to have known and it has been an honour to have known Bill. He was one of those key people that any organisation needs if it is to be successful. They form the heart and soul of an organisation and in every respect Bill was just that. He knew the strengths and weaknesses of almost everyone involved with the Institute. Failure to listen to Bill was always at your peril.” Dad could have easily taken a job in the very lucrative commercial world but he chose to dedicate his career to public service - as a teenager I was totally horrified by this. That my Dad didn’t want to work for a private company, earn loads of money and most importantly have a flashy company car made absolutely no sense to me. I remember many conversations - trying to reason with him that getting a job that provided a three litre Granada Ghia with leather seats and electric windows was a good career move. But Dad in his excellent erudite way made me realise that there was much more to a career than just financial gain. And so I reluctantly sat in the back of our 1.3 litre Morris Marina with plastic seats and felt a certain amount of pride in my father’s impressive, unfaltering principles. My Dad also strove and succeeded in his private life, he was happily married to my mother and they spent the best part of 60 years together. She was his absolute rock and Dad was very aware that without Mum’s support he would not have achieved so much in his life. Dad worked tirelessly for many charities. He became the chairman of The Titsy Rotary Club and then later the Rotary Club at Burgess Hill. This organisation brought such joy to dad. He liked nothing more than rolling up his sleeves and sorting out any problems especially if it was the accounts. ‘Exact’ and ‘thorough’ were his middle names ‒ and it is no surprise to me that he died at the end of the financial year. My Dad had many hobbies but his greatest passion in life was sailing - I remember him making a two man mirror dingy from a kit in the garage. Dad was such an instinctive sailor - it came so naturally to him. I was always struck by how happy he was on his hand made boat and it was just lovely to sail with him and see that big frown on his face disappear into the broadest of smiles. Dad loved being close to his grandchildren and took a very active part in their lives. He was a wonderful role model for them. And they have inherited his hard working ethic and determination to seize every opportunity that is put in front of them. My Dad had a wonderful sense of humour and I know he would want to share this thought: “One day I sat thinking, almost in despair; a hand fell on my shoulder and a voice said reassuringly: cheer up, things could get worse. So I cheered up and, sure enough, things got worse.” Dad you are and always will be an inspiration to all of us. Johnny Capps, son

GORDON DICKINSON, 1956 20th July 1935 – 14th April 2017

His string of degrees aptly sums up Gordon as studious, tenacious and knowledgeable. He was widely read from a young age, was very methodical and had a capacity for absorbing information that stayed with him all his life. The Eleven-plus gained him a place at Bradford Grammar School where, early on, he won a form prize and where he went on to specialise in Classics. He was one of many boys from that school to gain a place at Oxbridge, but first he had to do his National Service. He joined the RAF where, after the normal basic training and square bashing which he did not enjoy, he was put into the Joint Services School for Linguists to study Russian, perhaps because he had already studied Greek and was familiar with the Cyrillic script. He got his A-level but listening in to poor Russian transmissions was not his forte. He then went on to take up his place at Pembroke College to read Jurisprudence. He enjoyed his time there and a small pewter tankard records an early success on the river – Robinson Fours 1956, I R Stanbrook, D S Terry, J D Clogg, R G Huband, cox G Dickinson. After graduating, Gordon was unable to continue with his Law training as his father had recently died and it was essential to obtain full time employment. He entered the rapidly expanding computer industry in Manchester, ICT, later to become ICL. Starting as a trainee programmer, he went on to spend the rest of his career there, initially writing software for the company and its customers, progressing through various specialisations and finally becoming a technical consultant to the sales force ensuring the integrity and feasibility of proposed projects. His customer base covered many fields – Retail, Manufacturing, and both National and Local Government. The IRA bomb in Manchester in 1996 which destroyed his workplace, lead to him taking early retirement aged 61. Not one to sit idly around, he embarked on an Open University degree covering the Age of Enlightenment which introduced him to Art and Architecture, both topics remaining a real interest with him. He obtained his BA and then chose a Social Science course that gained him a BSc.

He met his future wife at work and they had 49 happy years together. They both enjoyed classical music and Gordon took up the clarinet and was subsequently able to join her in the local orchestra. He was soon identified as a suitable candidate to be the music librarian and did a splendid job cataloguing the whole orchestral library. Gordon and his wife travelled a lot and were fortunate enough to have been able to visit most parts of the world. Back at home, when not reading, he enjoyed working in the garden, not so much with plants but taking a pride in neat lawns and hedges. He had always enjoyed sports, more recently from the armchair, and remained a loyal follower of Bradford City. Julia Dickinson

NEIL GARLAND, 1955

In 1986 Neil married Eva Svindberg, exDirector of Nursing for Marie Curie. Living very happily together in East Molesey. Post-retirement, Neil had time to indulge his lifetime interest in reading across an eclectic range of topics. He followed most sport, particularly Scottish rugby. Neil was very involved in the local Art Club, and in working in his immaculate garden.

After Oxford, John trained for the ministry at Ridley Hall, Cambridge. He and Petronella were married during that time. Before John and some likeminded friends were ordained they formed The Ridley Ministry Group for mutual support. They kept in touch through letters and the occasional get-together and it was an important part of their early years in the ministry.

After three years of increasingly debilitating illness, Neil died peacefully at home. He is survived by his wife, Eva.

John was made Deacon in 1963 in the Liverpool Diocese and he and Petronella moved into a council house in Huyton. He ran a challenging Youth Club and always enjoyed taking Youth Groups on Parish holidays.

John’s great gift was in pastoral work; he was able to put this to good use both as Liverpool University Chaplain and later in three parishes in the Derby Diocese. He was a good non-judgmental listener, quietly married the divorced and welcomed gay people before it was generally accepted. John was Rector of a busy church during the 1980s when many came for weddings and baptisms. He valued these opportunities to present the Christian faith as open and inclusive. “Who are we to limit God’s grace?” he would say when rebuked for his liberal convictions.

8th July 1937 10th February 2017

He was a keen believer in ecumenism, locally and abroad, and took part in exchanges with the Church of North India, leading a Youth Exchange soon after he retired. He felt the church in England had much to learn from the Indian church’s work with the poor.

Canon Richard Warman John was John the eldest of four sons born to Neil was born and brought up in Scotland. He attended Glasgow Academy, where he was popular and talented both academically, and in sports. He led a full life at school, becoming school captain, school dux. He was involved in many school clubs, and played cricket and rugby for the school. Neil won an open scholarship to read Greats at Pembroke. There too, he participated fully in the extracurricular life of the University, and made life long friends. He enjoyed rowing and cricket and played rugby for the College. After graduating, Neil trained as a chartered accountant. Believing in Public Service, he chose to work in the NHS, working in various Authorities, before becoming the Director of Finance for Croydon Health Authority (which – reputedly - had a budget greater than the NHS budget for the whole of Scotland). In his professional life, Neil was well liked and respected by his colleagues, both for his competence and his ability to challenge opinions without alienating people. He also had the courage to take hard decisions. After a serious illness, Neil took early retirement from the Health Service. On his recovery, he became the Chief Accountant to the Royal College of Surgeons, a part-time position he greatly enjoyed and in which he, again, was highly valued.

This friendship flourished and during the 1959 Easter vacation they both drove with two Pembroke friends, Ken Wills and George Lilley in George’s 1938 Vauxhall 10, through Germany and Yugoslavia to Athens, wild camping on the way. Roger Adams accompanied them on, as he says, “his absurdly underpowered and overloaded Triumph Tiger Cub”. On the return journey the car doors were held together with string and since the lights weren’t working Roger acted as the front light coming down an Apennine pass at nightfall!

John was educated first at Bradford Grammar School and later at Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, Wakefield. He deferred going up to Oxford in order to do National Service. Being a University candidate John was sent to the Officers’ Selection Board. When asked, “Did you pass?” he replied with a twinkle, “Of course not!”. He was not a military man but he did enjoy his two years with the Durham Light Infantry, being sent off to Aden at the time of the Suez Crisis. He moved with the quick, short step of the regiment throughout his life.

John was a regular contributor to Thought for the Day on Radio Derby. This suited his ability to challenge his listeners in a succinct and engaging way. As a Chaplain with the East Midlands Training Course he enjoyed opening up the Scriptures to mature students and working with them on placements in his parish. John was an enthusiastic DIY man. He converted an old Commer minibus into a “motorhome” and with their three daughters they enjoyed many happy camping holidays. His main hobby was photography. From his teens he had developed and printed photographs in the attics of his parents’ vicarages and the first thing he eyed up when the family moved to a new parish was a possible darkroom. He particularly enjoyed flower photography and invested in different lenses and tried out different techniques, but he was a philistine when it came to new technology. It took time to convince him that digital cameras and computers could be better than his manual camera and electric typewriter. He had a very dry wit and loved puns. Even when his Parkinsons began to take hold and he appeared not to be part of the conversation he would suddenly raise his head, his blue eyes would twinkle and he would make an apposite comment which made family and friends dissolve into laughter. John was diagnosed with Parkinsons in 2010. He was tremendously well supported by the Specialist Parkinsons

PROFESSOR GEOFFREY RAISMAN, 1957 28th June 1939 – 27th January 2017

Professor Geoffrey Raisman introduced the term ‘plasticity’ in 1969 to describe damaged nerve tissue’s ability to form new synaptic connections. This revealed that damaged nerves in the central nervous system (CNS) could be repaired. Carefully studying the white matter structure of the CNS, he developed the theory that the white matter is like a ‘pathway’ and its disruption by injury blocks growth of the regenerating fibres. In 1985, he described how olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) allow newlyformed nerve fibres in the nose to enter the CNS and in 1997, together with his colleagues, he showed that transplantation of OECs into the damaged spinal cord in experimental models repaired the pathway, allowing the regeneration of severed nerve fibres and the restoration of lost functions.

Lithuanian parents who came to the UK to escape the pogroms of nineteenth century Eastern Europe. His mother, Celia Narunsky, was the only girl and eldest of six siblings. Both came from Leeds and saw education as the path to success and freedom. As such, they strongly supported and encouraged Geoffrey in his learning from the earliest age, and delighted in nurturing his constantly-inquiring mind.

6th August 1927 17th November 2016

Geoffrey and his wife Vivien met when they were 16 and married at 18. Vivien gave up her undergraduate studies at the University of Edinburgh and worked in Egyptology at the Ashmolean Museum to support their modest lifestyle. Geoffrey won the Theodore Williams Scholarship to Pembroke College in 1957, aged 17. Later awarded a Postgraduate Scholarship at Christ Church, he earned a Seat at High Table and after, became the Medical Fellow at Oriel. Between 1965 and 1974, he was Lecturer in the Department of Human Anatomy, Oxford. Geoffrey was among the first Western scientists to forge strong scientific links with China after the death of Chairman Mao. He and his team moved to the National Institute for Medical Research, London in 1974 where he became one of the youngest heads of Division, Neurobiology. In 2005 he joined the Department of Brain Repair and Rehabilitation at the UCL Institute of Neurology and established a dedicated Spinal Repair Unit at Queens Square. He was Professor of Neural Regeneration to UCL and Chair of Neural Regeneration. Geoffrey was a pioneer in his field, developing new approaches to improving recovery from spinal injury. His ground-breaking work and outstanding contribution to British Neuroscience has been recognised by election as a Fellow of the Royal Society (2001) and to the Academy of Medical Sciences (1999). Geoffrey was also a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (2002) and Life President of the International Association of Neurorestoratology since 2010. He was a member of the Royal Society of Medicine, founder member of the International Spinal Research Trust (ISRT) and the Scientific Member of the British National Research Trust (BNRT).

With Dr Pawel Tabakow and his team, the first patient with a complete severance of the thoracic spinal cord received transplantation of autologous OECs in 2014. The patient, Darek Fidyka, has gained significant neurological recovery of sensation and voluntary movement as a result. The patient can now get out of his wheelchair and ride a tricycle.

Geoffrey received numerous prizes and awards, including the Wakeman Award for Research in Neurosciences (1980), the British Neuroscience Association Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Neuroscience (2004), and the Reeve-Irvine Medal (2005) for critical contributions to repair of the damaged spinal cord and recovery of function.

Wider application of OECs: In 2012 with his team at UCL, collaborating with the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology and Southwest Hospital and the Third Military Medical University in Chongqing, PRC, Professor Raisman described the protective effect of OECs in an experimental glaucoma model. This research may lead to clinical application which is hoped to help sufferers regain sight.

A unique and creative scientist, Geoffrey found inspiration outside of his field and mastered multiple languages, to include a deep knowledge of classical and modern Chinese. Working with him was very stimulating. Geoffrey’s profound knowledge made him a great companion and he was a favourite mentor for the junior researchers and students. His death is a major loss to the research field of neural regeneration.

Geoffrey was born into a Jewish family in Leeds and died at the age of 77. His father, Harry, was a tailor and one of 11 children of

EDMOND WRIGHT, 1958

Ruth Partington, daughter

Edmond Wright was a philosopher and a poet. This was unusual in the 20th century, when a philosopher was encouraged to combine being a logician with his study, and logic is still de rigueur in the syllabus. He was born in Horwich, Lancashire, into a large communal family. Two influences brought about this preference for poetry and philosophy. His father was a cinema projectionist and this meant that the young Edmond was constantly in the cinema in the ‘30s and ‘40s, seeing the classical Hollywood canon and the early British films as they appeared. The other influence was his love of literature, arising from his mother’s and other family members’ enthusiasm for it. He thus came to his studies of literature at Oxford with a special interest in the place of imagery and irony in the workings of words. His first degree was in English, and he went on to teach the subject, becoming the head of an English department. In his thirties, encouraged by his wife Elizabeth, he set about taking another first degree in philosophy. While his studies were for an external London degree, he was extremely fortunate living near Oxford to obtain as tutors there the young Gareth Evans and Brian Loar, through the intervention of friends. With this welcome help he obtained this second degree in 1969 and was accepted at his old Oxford College, Pembroke, for a doctoral degree in philosophy. He chose metaphor and metonymy as his topic, studying with J O Urmson as his graduate supervisor. He obtained his doctorate in 1975, and, since that time has been an active philosopher, publishing regularly in the academic journals, initially on the subjects of language and perception, but later moving into narrative theory, epistemology and nationalism. In 1983 he edited The Ironic Discourse, a volume of the periodical Poetics Today (Vol. 4:3); in 1993 he edited a volume of essays on the philosophy of

perception (New Representationalism, Avebury, Aldershot), in which philosophers who do not subscribe to the fashionable denigration of qualia presented cogent objections to the current view. He was especially helped by his wife, who became a distinguished literary theorist, winning a British Academy prize for her work Psychoanalytic Criticism (Polity Press, Cambridge, 1998). He co-edited with her a reader on the Slovenian social theorist Slavoj Zizek (Blackwell, 1999). Having over twenty-five years refined a philosophy of perception which, espousing qualia, relies on the correction of one social partner by another in a common act of faith, he then engaged in pursuing the wider consequences of the epistemology it implies, in fields such as social theory, narrative theory, humour, literature, patriotism and religion. The trajectory of his work is reflected in the title of his book Narrative, Perception, Language, and Faith (Palgrave Macmillan 2005), in which an examination of the Joke, the Story and the Game forms the basis of an account of how persons co-operate in language, the perceiving of the world that language facilitates, and the societies within which they are created and live. Of late, he edited another collection of pro-qualia articles, The Case for Qualia (MIT Press, 2008), in which recent anti-qualia arguments are subjected to thorough objections from a variety of positions. His further analysis of the place of faith in language led to a book on the nature of religion, Avatar-Philosophy (and-Religion) or FAITHEISM (Plymouth: Imprint Academic, 2011). Edmond continued to write poetry, in the form of the ‘hennet’, a verse-form based on the hendecasyllabic line. He was also writing for a publication called Anthropoetics. His particular skill was to deconstruct a poem and comment on the connections between poetry, art, religion, history and sociology to show how human beings communicate and share meaning with each other. Edmond died aged 89, and to his friends he appeared still in his prime with unparalleled memory and reasoning power. He was considered a leading scholar by his many colleagues around the world. He was an intellectually generous person of unique talents, a masterful conversationalist who was truly appreciated by those who took the time to sit with him, to listen or better still to challenge. He was full of boyish charm. There are many distinguished colleagues, friends and family who miss him. In his 80s he was still attending the annual Anthropometrics Conferences around the world. Professor Ian Dennis, who chairs the conferences, described him as “so interesting, so genuine, so kindly and good-natured, so engaged with language, culture and the human and so, well, unique. It is truly hard to imagine our conferences without him”. Anna Wright, daughter

CHRISTOPHER STAFFORD, 1959 27th February 1939 – 18th December 2012 In last year’s edition of The Pembroke Record we asked if any alumni could contribute their memories of Christopher Stafford (1959). John Dixon (1959) has written to share the following; He came from Blackpool…and had a warm Lancastrian accent. He was very amiable, generally very cheerful and had a sparky sense of humour. He was tall and lanky and, although not an athlete, we both rowed in the College 2nd VIII in 1961; he sat at No5. In spite of having the future Lord Kerr as our cox, we were not particularly successful! I came closer to Chris in our second year when we were paired for a weekly tutorial with Piers Mackesy for a term. I have very strong memories of our companionable time together in those tutorials.

DAVIS TAYLOR, 1964 13th October 1943 – 8th September 2016

Oblivious to his own wet-dog disarray, he at once started enthusing at what threatened to be exhaustive length about a new book. “It’s called Never Cry Wolf.” This already seemed to me an apt caption for my friend’s discreet New England version of true grit. But then he was off, launching into spasms of amazement at the book’s empathy for tribal predators. Hoping to bring him back from the wilds to focus on crunching McVitie’s digestives, I intervened. “Wonderful, Davis. And who is it that wrote this hyper-Franciscan epic?” Then two things happened, as if cuing each other. With a radiant smile Davis recovered from the better-schooled variant of a Billy Budd stammer into which questions of identity tended to plunge him, even explosively proclaiming “Whimsey Farlett!” With which the tails of the unbelted trenchcoat that had dangled near the heating coils burst into flame. Utterly rapt by trying to engage me in his delight at Farley Mowat’s well-informed kindness to one of man’s best enemies, Davis had been further distracted by the need to Mrs Malaprop his way out of committing the cardinal Oxford sin of failing to name an author. But now that he had convinced at least himself for the ejaculatory moment that Whimsey it was, he devoted almost equal enthusiasm to helping me beat out the little holocaust on the rug ‒ fortunately already cinder-grey ‒ and to multiplying apologies that my helpless yet somehow applausive laughter should have made superfluous. Always energetic in both courting and taking upon himself full responsibility for hazards of material reality, Davis had done his best to re-cast tea on a streaming but now also smoking afternoon late in Michaelmas term as a spirits-raising Eucharist. Jack Erwin (Massachusetts and Balliol 1964) Davis Taylor (Connecticut and Pembroke, 1964) died of aggressive prostate cancer. He took an A B at Williams College in 1964, a BA in English Language and Literature at Oxford in 1966, and a PhD in English at Yale in 1969.

Davis Taylor was the most enthusiastically kind man I knew at Oxford. How to convey the particular quality of his love of life, in the most inclusive and generous sense of the word? But there’s really no question: one moment surges out from the store of Davis tales and images that I still carry around with me decades later. He had trudged through a typically drenching late November afternoon from Pembroke to my rooms at Balliol, and arrived totally soaked. As I hastened to assemble the tea things, still in his dripping trench-coat Davis planted himself squarely in front of the electric fire that had long since replaced the real thing under my shabby Victorian mantel.

Having served as a Professor of English at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota from 1969 through 1984, Davis worked as an individual and family therapist in Faribault, Northfield, Minneapolis/St Paul and the Chequamegon Bay region of Wisconsin. He published four volumes of poetry, and three more are forthcoming. He is survived by his wife, Rebecca McDowell of Bayfield, Wisconsin; his sons Paul Taylor of Berkeley, California and Sam Taylor of West Branch, Iowa; his stepsons Kirk McDowell-Shafer of Kansas City, Missouri and Benjamin McDowell-Shafer of Minneapolis; his brother James Taylor of Anacortes, Washington and sisters Susan Smith of Williamstown, Massachusetts and Nancy Taylor-Roberts of Manchester, Massachusetts.

PAUL CASTLE, 1965 24th June 1947 – 15th September 2016

North West would have been long achieved if it had not been for the intransigence of the newly privatised water company United Utilities. Tiring of the constant reorganisations of the NHS Paul moved back to the West Midlands where he set up his own company Castle Communications. Paul had contracts with a number of Health Authorities where he dealt with short term crises and longer term strategies. I continued to work with him for the British Fluoridation Society; his report One in a Million, now in its third edition, and available on the Society’s website, is a testimony to his energy and commitment. He is survived by his wife Pamela, a former dental nurse, two children and one grandson; they will miss him sorely, as will I.

especially Buddhist writers grapple. He died in Deal, Kent, suddenly and very unexpectedly from a perforated ulcer. He leaves two devoted older sisters, a nephew, two nieces, and four great-nieces. Professor Anne Deighton, sister

RACHEL BOULDING, 1983 13th December 1964 – 22nd April 2017

Professor Mike Lennon (first published in The British Dental Journal) I first met Paul Castle in 1985. Having just been appointed as the Regional Dental Officer for the North Western Regional Health Authority, it was suggested that I join the newly formed Regional Fluoridation Action Group, which was having its inaugural meeting the following Monday. I duly arrived, met Paul Castle, started a lifetime interest in water fluoridation, and a friendship that was to last some thirty plus years. It quickly became apparent that Paul had some real gifts including the ability to turn complex scientific concepts into readable prose. But I rush ahead and it is perhaps worth looking back a further forty years to understand how Paul first acquired those skills. He graduated in 1968 with a First Class honours degree in History from Pembroke College. Far from the popular concept of history as the chronology of kings and queens, a history degree ensures a graduate can; “engage directly with questions and present independent opinions about them in arguments that are well written, clearly expressed, coherently organised and effectively supported by relevant evidence.” Paul certainly learnt those skills and went on to hone them firstly as a journalist and later as a local politician. One of his early journalistic posts was as a leader writer for The Liverpool Daily Post, and, if not quite The Manchester Guardian, the Post was still a well respected and influential regional newspaper. Paul was subsequently elected to Sale Council and stood unsuccessfully as the Labour Party candidate for the Cheadle constituency. Paul then joined the NHS to head the Regional Public Relations department for the West Midlands RHA where he worked with John Charlton and John Langford. Subsequently he moved to the North Western RHA joining John Roberts who had been appointed Regional Administrator. Both Paul and John had shared interests in health promotion and were very active in tobacco control and in promoting water fluoridation. Indeed water fluoridation in the

MARK DEIGHTON, 1972 20th May 1953 – 2nd November 2016

Rachel Boulding, who has died from cancer, aged 52, came up to Pembroke in 1983 to read English. Although outwardly selfeffacing, she was the possessor of a ready wit, a fierce intelligence and a deep sense of loyalty that rendered her one of the truest of friends. Rachel was born at Chislehurst, Kent, the youngest child and only daughter of Ted Boulding, an insurance clerk and Church of England lay reader, and his wife Joyce, a primary-school teacher. Her early years were spent in Bexleyheath, before a move to Reading when she was seven. Raised in a devoutly Christian family, she attended St Andrew’s Church, Caversham, where the deep religious faith that played such an important role in her life was nurtured. She attended Kendrick School, taking A-Levels in English, Latin and Greek.

Mark was delighted to be accepted as an undergraduate at Pembroke as this was the College where our father, HS (‘Bertie’) Deighton, had been a Fellow. In a move that was unusual in the 1970s, Mark chose to read for a joint degree in History (largely Mediaeval) and Economics, and he was very happy to move between Stubbs and the complexities of contemporary macroeconomics. He also enjoyed classical music and sport – and was very proficient in both. When he left Oxford, Mark worked first in the City, then in Canterbury, and latterly as an independent mathematics and economics teacher. A huge range of students passed through his hands, from aspirant GCSE candidates to first year mathematics students at the University of Kent. During these years his enthusiasm for learning and teaching never dwindled. His devout, benign, and gentle disposition masked a formidable and enquiring mind. He ranged from history to economics, and increasingly to religion and the questions with which Christian and

At Pembroke, Rachel diligently ploughed through the voluminous reading required, producing coherent and well-argued essays. In private, however, she was critical of the unwieldy English course and acerbic about her tutors’ inadequacies. Her comments in seminars and tutorials were invariably incisive and she was unafraid to assert herself in defence of her opinions. Her in-depth knowledge of The Bible, remarkable even then, saw her readily comprehend literary allusions that for the most part passed unnoticed by other members of the set. Although a well-liked figure at Pembroke, her time at Oxford was spent largely outside the College. Her preoccupation with religion drew her towards the Pusey House chaplaincy, around which her social life revolved. It was there that she made lifelong friends and met her husband, Martin Brooke, a postgraduate student and Lecturer in Classics. After graduation in 1986, Rachel moved to Sheffield, to do voluntary work in one of the city’s poorest areas. Upon her marriage

the following year, she returned to Oxford to live with her husband, before starting work at SPCK, a religious publisher, in London. When Martin took up a teaching post at Sherborne School, Rachel lived in London during the week and spent weekends in Dorset. But her decade at SPCK was far from uniformly happy. She showed a stubborn fortitude in overcoming the sociopathic behaviour indulged in by a minority of her colleagues there. Eventually, her obvious ability at editing copy and dealing with contributors, coupled with her innate decency, led wiser counsels at SPCK to recognise her true worth. But her time there was a bruising experience. In 1997 Rachel joined the Church of England’s publishing department at Church House, Westminster. After her son, Thomas, was born, in 1999, she began to work more from Sherborne and spend less time in London. In 2000 she became deputy editor of The Church Times, an Anglican weekly newspaper, in which role she excelled. Each week, she came up to London for two days to see the news pages through to press. She became well-known and highly esteemed throughout the Anglican community. In addition to her work on the newspaper, Rachel edited The Church Times Book of 100 Best Prayers, and her daily notes for the Bible Reading Fellowship were published in several volumes. In 2009 Rachel was diagnosed with breast cancer. She underwent surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, with no trace of self-pity. She continued to work during her treatment, refusing to allow her illness to alter her life more than was absolutely essential. By 2014, we had begun to hope that the cancer had been eradicated. That August, Rachel returned to Pembroke for the Gaudy; I remember thinking how well she looked and how much energy she had. But two months later, she received the devastating news that the cancer had returned and that the prognosis was bleak. For two and a half years, Rachel lived with her final illness. The cancer spread to her liver and her lungs but she retained her undaunted spirit. In 2016 two of her London friends held a party in her honour, a celebratory occasion but, alas, also a valedictory one. By the start of 2017, Rachel’s condition had begun to deteriorate significantly and she reduced her workload accordingly. During the final stages of her life, she drew on her experience of confronting terminal illness, compiling a booklet, Facing Death, published in January 2017. She had hoped to survive the year, to see her son through his A-Levels and on to Magdalen College, Oxford, where he is studying modern languages, but this was not to be. Her elaborate funeral service, at a packed Sherborne Abbey, reflected her meticulous planning. Honest, courageous, perceptive and, above all, deeply loyal, Rachel was fun to spend time with. There was nothing of the staid Puritan about her. One of her colleagues described her as “an Anglo-Catholic who was liturgically and doctrinally conservative but socially liberal”. Always politically on the left,

she loathed injustice in all its forms. She is survived by her husband, Martin Brooke, and their son, Thomas, as well as by her mother, Joyce, and her brothers, Peter, Christopher and Jonathan. Marcus Turner (1983), friend

FRANCESCA LOWE, 1998 16th April 1979 – 23rd January 2017

Since Francesca passed away so suddenly, many words have been used to describe her. Talented, loyal, beautiful, bright, a bit bonkers. She was all of those and more. The void she has left in the lives of those who loved her – most notably her husband Gavin, son Ulixes, father David, mother Vivian (who passed away three months later), and siblings Alex, Mungo, Felix (2000) and Octavia — is indescribable. Francesca the friend, wife, sister and mother was inseparable from Francesca the artist. She had a unique way of perceiving the world and translating that colourful, complex, and sometimes dystopian vision on to canvas. Her work seduced onlookers, entranced collectors and won admirers around the world. Following a foundation year at Byam Shaw, Francesca started at Pembroke and the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art full of life and tales of a summer spent helping build a school in Nepal. Her talent was already as clear and bright as her pink hair and paint-spattered clothes. “A part of her drive to go to Oxford was to prove that being an artist could reap rewards,” a close friend remembers. “When she was accepted it was clear that it gave her confidence a big boost.” At Oxford, Francesca took a first-class degree, featured in regular exhibitions, sat on Pembroke committees and amassed a closeknit group of friends. The 3-D canvasses that she worked on while at Ruskin are an early example of her ability to reveal herself through the rebellious brilliance of her work. After graduating in 2001, her star was in the ascendancy. She won a place at the prestigious Royal Academy Schools where she met her husband, the artist Gavin Nolan. During her three years at the RA she developed her now signature large-scale paintings that are filled

with echoes of ancient murals and historical illustration. “It was almost as if they were seen through a swimming pool,” recalls Tot Taylor, director of the Riflemaker Contemporary Art Gallery which signed Francesca in 2004. “All these pinks and blues moving in and out of focus as your eyes scanned the surface. A bit of ‘anatomical’ leg, a puff of smoke, ripples and tunnels. The images and characters contained within them seemed to have ‘already lived’.” She won the Red Mansion Prize in 2003 – designed to promote artistic exchange between the UK and China – and spent a month in Beijing. Her work benefited from the experience, gaining an otherworldly, almost oriental, elegance. Her careerdefining exhibition at Riflemaker was Terminus in 2007. A collaboration with the Scottish author Alasdair Gray, it featured a seemingly limitless display of inventive paintings. Sixty-six in total – proof if it was needed that Fran didn’t do derivative, or restrained or safe. The excess of the exhibition became a talking point and attracted a glittering crowd to the private view, where Will Self gave the opening address: “Looking at these paintings by Francesca Lowe I think they are putting us firmly in the cockpit of Alasdair Gray’s imagination.” In 2008, her work featured alongside that of Grayson Perry in a group show entitled Demons, Yarns and Tales. Her piece, Trump, won critical acclaim. Based on an existing painting, the work took on new life in tapestry form. “It has gained an ethereal beauty,” she said in an interview with The Independent. Francesca’s success was due as much to her tireless work ethic, as it was her talent. Driven, dedicated, deeply determined – the need to create consumed her. Later solo shows included Headland in 2011 and Book-Cuts and Tree-Cuts in 2012 – the latter just weeks before Ulixes was born. It was a notable stylistic departure. Gone were the grand-scale canvasses, replaced by delicate collages – books cut away to reveal contrasting, beguiling layers. The idea was simple but the result was startling. That same year, she developed what has become her signature print – a tree with the single word ‘Love’ woven into its branches [featured on the cover of this edition of The Record]. It was first shown at Damien Hirst’s Other Criteria gallery in May 2012, and appeared posthumously in the RA Summer Exhibition in 2017. What an apt word to have left behind. Although Francesca is no longer with us the thought of the legacy she created sustains her loved ones in our darkest hours. To quote one of the tributes read at her memorial service: “Her visionary work is alive, it pulsates and writhes on the canvas, or shimmers on the surface as ‘crystalline explosions’ just as Alasdair Gray so poetically described them.” Serena Kutchinsky (Balliol, 1998)
