The Principal and Fellows of Somerville College extend their most sincere thanks to the donors listed in this report for their generous support of the College in 2010-11. Every gift received makes a difference – 1,173 of you supported Somerville with restricted and unrestricted gifts from 01.08.10 – 31.07.11.

From

the Principal This was a very special year in the annals of Somerville giving.

n 17 September 2011 Lord Patten of Barnes, Chancellor of the University and the College’s Visitor, inaugurated a weekend of celebrations by cutting the ribbon in front of our two new accommodation blocks. The opening of the buildings, the first to be completed on the University’s Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, marked the culmination of your generosity over the past few years. We received an incredible number of donations for the building appeal – in all, more than 1,100 from Somervillians all over the world. Since the launch of the Somerville Campaign in 2009, we have been overwhelmed by the support for it. During the financial year of 2010-11 we benefited from donations not just to the ROQ accommodation, but for our other two campaign targets, student support and fellowship funding. The benefit to our students, at what they insist is the friendliest and most inclusive of Oxford colleges, is immense. Your support enables us to continue to admit talented students on a needs-blind basis, at a time when prospective students face larger debts than ever before in exchange for a university education.

And it allows us to continue offering the tutorial system that makes Oxford so special, by ensuring that our fellowships are funded in perpetuity. I find it very moving to know that so many Somervillians support the College in this way. I have had a wonderful first year in office as Principal, and some of the high points have been the days when I met groups of alumni, in Oxford, London, and around the country and beyond. As Development Director Julie Hage and Treasurer Helen Morton report in the following pages, we are making very healthy progress towards our overall Campaign target of £25 million. The generosity described in detail in this report is impressive. And it does not end there of course – in the six months since the end of the financial year we have received a further £1 million in Campaign donations. I would like to extend my very warmest thanks on behalf of the College to all of our generous donors. Thanks to all you do for us, Somerville is going from strength to strength. Dr Alice Prochaska, MA, DPhil, FRHistS Principal, Somerville College

Development Director’s Report Thank you for making a defining difference to Somerville.

omerville’s £25 million Campaign was launched in the summer of 2009 to celebrate 130 years of pioneering achievements. At a time of profound financial crisis, we were asking for significant help to secure the future of this remarkable institution. It was therefore with some trepidation that the College embarked upon the most significant fundraising appeal in its history. The response of our alumni and friends during the first two and a half years has been truly remarkable. At the end of this financial year, an impressive £16 million had been raised towards our target from over 2,500 alumni and friends. This report celebrates the achievements of all of you who made our success possible. In 2010-11 alone, more than £2 million was received in philanthropic donations and legacies, an increase from £1.5 million in the previous year. From our Radcliffe Observatory Quarter building appeal to the generosity toward student bursaries and tutorial support, donations of all sizes, and toward all areas of College life, have made a tangible impact. As the Principal has outlined, the opening of our new student accommodation buildings in September 2011 marked the completion of the first phase of the Somerville Campaign. Over 1,100 alumni and friends supported this transformative project: our warmest thanks to you all. We now embark with confidence on the next phase of our appeal to secure further support for student funding and fellowship endowment.

Strength in numbers will continue to be essential if we are to secure the excellence of an institution which has enabled generations of students to experience life in an extraordinary way. The challenges ahead are significant, and the funding for higher education has seen deeper cuts in recent months than we had ever anticipated. As our Treasurer Helen Morton explains in this report, the College continues to manage its relatively modest endowment and financial assets with great care, as we prepare for the future. The Somerville Campaign is supported by many volunteers who help us advance our activities in the UK and throughout the world. To these treasured friends and all our donors, we say a heartfelt thank you. We hope you will enjoy reading about how your donation has made a difference to the lives of students, and all of us at Somerville. With gratitude,

Julie Christiane Hage Fellow & Director of Development

The Somerville College Development Board

The Campaign was designed and launched with support from our distinguished Development Board members who lead by example; their generosity and professionalism has prepared the College for the challenges ahead and has been a determining factor in the success of the first phase of our appeal. The Board was energetically chaired by Harriet Maunsell (1962) from 2004 and our new Chairman, Clara Freeman (1971), and Deputy-Chairman, Hilary Newiss (1974), have taken on the Campaign leadership with great vision since January 2011. â&#x20AC;&#x153; 36% of our alumni have supported the Somerville Campaign, helping the College to secure its future and endorsing its ambitions to be at the heart of one of the best universities in the world. It is more important than ever that we educate the next generation of leaders, thinkers and doers to play their part in securing the future success and prosperity of us all.â&#x20AC;?

Sustaining the path to future growth Our Campaign vision remains clear: to safeguard a tradition of excellence at a time of severe cuts to higher education funding, it is vital to increase support for the College’s endowment. Somerville’s endowment is only around the midpoint in the ranking of Oxford colleges, and the College cannot rely on ancient benefactions or income from substantial landholdings. Moreover, around half of the College endowment is restricted by donors to specific purposes and this reduces our flexibility to respond to changing circumstances. Raising £25 million is a challenging but necessary target which will help Somerville to become less dependent on government funding and enable us to manage a programme of future growth. In partnership with alumni, friends and philanthropic benefactors, the goal is to support the pioneering research of our fellows and to ensure that future generations of Somervillians can fulfil their potential.

How your gifts have made a difference By the end of the 2010-11 financial year, more than £16 million had been raised (in cash and pledges) through generous gifts from alumni and friends of Somerville. This is a remarkable achievement and we are very grateful to everyone who has given to the Campaign to date. This total is made up of the three main strands of Campaign fundraising, plus the Somerville Annual Fund and General Endowment, which directly support these strands. £12 million was raised during our ‘quiet phase’ from August 2005 to July 2009 and an additional £4 million has been raised in the past two years.

Type of donation We have seen an impressive increase in major gifts to the College in recent years, and in 2010-11, an unprecedented £897,000 was received from donations over £25,000. The increase in the number of regular and other gifts is also making a difference, with more than £500,000 received in 2010-11. £569,000 was received in legacies in 2010-11, which has already offered support for vital areas such as fellowships and student support. £6,000,000

A dedicated community of donors When Somervillians support us in great numbers it gives a clear signal to other donors and funding bodies that we are worthy of their support. We are already well ahead of other Oxford colleges, which have average participation rates of 13%, and we are determined to rival the highest rate of 33% currently achieved in Oxford. Gifts of all sizes matter, and your continued support is greatly appreciated. 36% of alumni have supported the Campaign. 17% of alumni made a donation in 2010/2011. In the six months since the end of the financial year, we have received an additional £1 million in donations. For the latest figures and further information, please visit www.some.ox.ac.uk/campaign

Transforming Lives:

Investing in Student

Support

Somerville was founded to educate talented women otherwise unable to gain access to a university education.

hroughout Somervilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history, alumni, friends and fellows of the College have demonstrated special generosity towards helping students in every possible way. This tradition was established by the founding Principal, Miss Madeleine Shaw Lefevre, who raised funds for the first Indian woman to study here in the 1880s. Daphne Park, another remarkable Principal, was able to come to Somerville with the help of a scholarship, and did everything she could during her tenure (1980-1989) to attract further funding for gifted students in need.

The funding of higher education in England has undergone dramatic changes in the last year, with undergraduate tuition fees tripling in 2012. At postgraduate level, up to 75% of students in the humanities and social sciences must fund themselves. Against this backdrop, Somerville is committed to doing everything it can to attract the very brightest minds by increasing support for bursaries and scholarships.

Fundraising

target

How your gift has made a difference to our students In the first phase of the Campaign, a target of £2 million was set to increase the funding available to students. Somerville’s alumni and friends have helped us exceed this initial target with more than £2.1 million raised toward student bursaries, scholarships, hardship grants and travel grants. Generous benefactors have endowed named bursaries and scholarship funds, and the tireless efforts of families, friends and colleagues have made it possible to establish programmes such as the Caldicott Fund for medical students and the Michala Butterfield Fund for law students. Generous travel grants have enabled over 50 students to travel to countries as far afield as India, Ghana, Morocco and South Africa, in order to attend conferences, volunteer in third world initiatives, and study at overseas universities. The College’s Bursary Fund now holds more than £1 million for undergraduate support. The annual yield of this fund enables the College to provide close to 100 students from low income backgrounds with a bursary to assist with their living costs. This places Somerville in the top five Oxford colleges for bursary support. We also continue to attract generous funding for talented postgraduate students who would otherwise not be able to complete their course, with the first history graduate awarded a Vanessa Brand Graduate Scholarship this year.

£4M

Looking to the future: investing in student support Changes to government funding of higher education mean that, from 2012, undergraduate tuition fees will triple. There are widespread concerns that talented applicants may be deterred from applying to universities like Oxford out of fear of incurring increased debt. Somerville must do all it can to attract additional funding and publicise these opportunities for support widely. Against this backdrop, support from alumni and friends will become increasingly vital in coming years to sustain our level of excellence and to ensure fair access for the brightest students on a needs blind basis. The work of our recently appointed Access and Communications Officer, Amy Crosweller, will strengthen our access provision significantly and ensure that Somerville is reaching out to talented applicants from all backgrounds. As we look to the future, we seek to address increase the support available to both undergraduate and postgraduate students in coming years by raising a total of £4 million. We appeal to all our alumni, friends and other funding partners to assist with creative solutions to enable us to reach this ambitious target.

The Michala Butterfield fund

Daphne Park Bursary Fund

In January 2008, Michala Butterfield (Emmett, 1995) and her husband Sam died tragically whilst on their honeymoon in India, just a month after they were married. Jane Loader, Michala’s close friend from Somerville, asked us to establish a bursary in her name. Michala's family and friends have undertaken many activities to raise money for the fund, including the 25-mile Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge, the 90-mile Toad Thames Run, and Manchester 10K run. They have raised over £90,000 to date, which will be used to fund two Michala Butterfield bursaries.

In 2010 we mourned the loss of our great Principal, Daphne Park. Daphne knew what it was to be poor. It would have been impossible for her to come to Somerville if she had not won a scholarship. As Principal of Somerville forty years on, Daphne was always acutely aware of the financial difficulties faced by students. She left Somerville a generous legacy to set up a bursary fund, which the College is honoured to name in her memory.

" Since starting this appeal a few years ago we have been overwhelmed by the generous gifts, amazing hard work and imaginative fundraising ideas of so many of Michala's family and friends. I never dreamt that so much money could be raised in such a short time. It is testament both to the impact that Michala had on so many people during her life and to the worthiness of the cause – helping to support students at her much-loved college.” Jane Loader (Aspell, 1995)

“ I consider myself to have been doubly fortunate in my time at Somerville – firstly, because I came up with the benefit of a full grant, lived in college throughout and was able to emerge debt-free, and secondly because the Principal was the inspirational Daphne Park. I am proud to support her legacy, both in memory of an exceptional individual who brought so much to my life at Somerville and long after, and to help ensure that others can benefit from the same opportunities I enjoyed.” Jo Magan (Ward, 1984)

Investing in Academic Excellence:

Somerville believes in the power of education to transform lives, through the education we provide and the impact our students then make in the world. The tutorial system is at the heart of everything we do, enabling students to reach their highest potential.

he international distinction of our academic fellowship not only helps students to question and to seek answers for themselves during their tutorials, but engages them directly in world-class research. At present, we are only able meet the annual cost of 60% of our teaching posts. The Campaign aims to raise £8 million for fellowships as a first important step towards creating a secure future for our academic posts. Our long term goal is to endow all our fellowships in perpetuity, and thereby free up resources to support the future development of the College.

How your gifts have helped secure the tutorial system Just over half of our £8 million target has been raised to date, a total of £4.7 million. This includes Daphne Osborne’s unprecedented £4.5 million legacy, and additional donations have provided funding for teaching costs in other subject areas, such as our Italian and Classics Fellowships.

Daphne Osborne Fellowship Professor Daphne Osborne was a distinguished plant scientist and Senior Research Fellow of Somerville College. Professor Osborne died in 2006 at the age of 81, leaving a legacy to Somerville for the endowment of fellowships in the physical and biological sciences. Professor Sarah Gurr is the first Daphne Osborne Tutorial Fellow at Somerville College. A world leading plant biologist, she specialises in the design of novel disease resistance strategies in crops and is the first woman President of the British Society for Plant Pathology. “Daphne Osborne was an eminent plant physiologist. Indeed, her obituary records her scientific achievements as being "legendary" (The Times, July 2006). Her most notable contribution was to describe the role of the plant hormone ethylene in the regulation of aging and abscission (shedding of fruit and leaves). Daphne was always interested in our endeavours and on the impact of plant disease on our major crops - we shared a passion for plants and for intellectual ‘style’, and it is an honour to tutor in her name the scientists of the future.”

Looking to the future: investing in academic excellence

“As a Chemistry graduate I might not be a typical donor to the Philosophy Fellowship appeal. But it struck a chord with me - two of my greatest friends read philosophy at university, and my reading in recent years has made me realise how important and relevant it is to today's society. I wanted to ensure that Somerville remains a centre for scholarship in Philosophy for future generations.” Paddy Crossley (Earnshaw, 1956)

Il Circolo As part of its objective to promote Italian culture in this UK, the Il Circolo Italian Cultural Association has supported the teaching of Italian at Somerville by helping to fund Dr Manuele Gragnolati’s post for the last eight years. We are extremely grateful for this continued support as we face one of the most challenging financial situations for the study of modern languages. For more information about Il Circolo, please visit: www.ilcircolo.org.uk

• Endowing French and Philosophy Fellowships: We are increasing our efforts to attract funding for fellowships which are at risk. Working with the University of Oxford Teaching Fund, we aim to secure two humanities fellowships for the College, in Philosophy and French. As soon as we raise £1.2 million, the University will ‘top up’ the endowment to the £2 million needed to endow each fellowship permanently. We have therefore set an ambitious target to raise £2.4 million by 2013 and unlock this unique opportunity. Since the end of the 2010-11 financial year, generous alumni have pledged £500,000 toward the Philosophy fellowship, and a number of significant legacy pledges have been earmarked for the French fellowship. The challenge of completing the appeals remains significant and we will reach out to our alumni and friends in the coming months and years to build a secure future for tutorial teaching at Somerville. • Advancing global research: From the urgent problems of the declining ocean environment to questions of re-imagined democracy, our scholars are leaders in their fields. Tackling challenges of international importance, the work carried out by Somerville scholars is extraordinary. We seek to partner with alumni and international philanthropic organisations to secure the advancement of this pioneering research base. Find out more: www.some.ox.ac.uk/fellowships

Building for the Future:

Improving

our facilities

The end of the financial year saw the completion of work on Somerville’s new student accommodation on the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter (ROQ), the site of the University’s most significant development project for more than a century.

igh quality buildings create an environment in which students and academics can thrive. A long lease on valuable land on the boundary of this new development gave Somerville an historic opportunity to build two state of the art buildings, designed by the award-winning Niall McLaughlin Architects. The Chancellor of Oxford University, Lord Patten of Barnes, opened the new buildings on 17th September 2011. With an initial target of £2 million in philanthropic funding, we are delighted that the building appeal attracted more than £2.7 million from alumni, friends and foundations.

How your donations have transformed the Somerville community Welcoming the first students in October 2011, the new buildings are already providing the equivalent of a ‘mini bursary’ for 68 students who are able to live in College, rather than having to find more expensive accommodation in Oxford in their second year. We have already seen how these beautiful and well designed new spaces contribute to a strengthening of our academic community, enabling the students to work and live together, exchanging ideas and supporting one another. 12

The buildings will provide Somerville with a gateway to the ROQ as it becomes the new centre of gravity for the University, housing all of the humanities together for the first time in 900 years, along with the Mathematical Institute and the Blavatnik School of Government. The new facilities will also generate additional conference income during the vacations to support the College. The project would not have been possible without the support of alumni and friends, and the help we have received from supporters all around the world has been truly heartening. As a sign of our gratitude for this generosity, a donor wall has been erected in the entrance to one of the new buildings, displaying the names of those who gave. Plaques line the corridors, many of which have been engraved with messages from those who chose to sponsor a bedroom or a kitchen. It was a special pleasure to welcome more than 400 donors during the opening weekend in September 2011, and we look forward to welcoming many more of you in the coming months.

Dr Trudy Watt (1971) sponsored two student bedrooms in the new ROQ buildings, choosing to dedicate the plaques of both rooms to Somervillians of the past: Evelyn Fox, DBE, who pioneered provision for those who were mentally disabled; and Grace Hadow, a champion of rural adult education, English scholar, and, from 1929, Principal of what would become St Anne’s College, Oxford.

Building for the future: improving our facilities • Naming more rooms in the student accommodation buildings: We continue to raise funds towards Somerville’s new buildings. Further support from major gifts and legacies will enable us to pay off as much as possible of the £5 million commercial loan. The opportunity to name rooms, kitchens or even a whole floor remains, and we hope alumni and other funding partners will join the impressive community of donors. • Transforming the graduate experience: Somerville is developing plans for building additional accommodation to enable us to house all our graduate students in College. We are also exploring opportunities for combining graduate accommodation with offices for one or several of our world-leading research groups, creating a vibrant environment for the next generation of scholars. We expect this project to cost £5-10 million, depending on the final specifications.

"When I made my donation, I saw the plaque idea as an opportunity to explore Somerville’s past and to commemorate two people whose interests overlapped with mine. If others are considering naming a room, and I sincerely hope that this is the case, I encourage them to investigate the histories of past Somervillians. By marking the rooms in this way, I was able to celebrate the lives of two fascinating women, and to communicate this history to current and future students. Most importantly, this was obviously a way to help the College: fundraising is essential and these rooms simply would not be there without people’s support. It was a real bonus to see the plaques in place and to know that students will be living in the rooms in perpetuity. The process has also given me enormous pleasure."

Alice Westlake (2010, Engineering) moved into her new bedroom in ROQ West block last October. Her room was sponsored by the Somerville Association. "Before returning to College for the new academic year, I naturally had high expectations for the new ROQ residence; and stepping into the building immediately exceeded these! But on top of the quality of the rooms, having the chance of a room in College, which without the new buildings wouldn’t have been possible, has allowed me to focus more on my studies and taken away the problems that finding and living in private accommodation can cause. One of the things I find warming about the new ROQ buildings is the naming of the rooms. It is a way to link old Somervillians with new, and the quotation on the plaque by my door, ‘Once a Somervillian, always a Somervillian’, really enhances my feeling of belonging to the College and its history."

The

Annual Fund Your regular gifts make it possible for Somerville to continue challenging and inspiring its students to go out into the world and change it for the better.

his culture of aspiration and public service can be seen in the work that students go onto in later life, as well as in the contribution that current students make in their vacation and spare time to transformative activities across the world. Philanthropic support for students of all backgrounds has always been central to life at Somerville and ensures that as many people as possible have the opportunity to use their Oxford education to benefit the lives of others. The Somerville Annual Fund is a powerful vehicle through which generations of Somervillians can support students and areas of highest need, now and in the future. Set up in 2002, nearly 30% of Somervillians have now given to the Annual Fund, raising more than £1.5 million. The Fund supports the objectives of the Campaign by providing bursaries and hardship funds, support for buildings and facilities, and the tutorial system. During the 2010-11 financial year, the College received more than £500,000 in regular and other gifts. All gifts are used within the year they are donated, making an immediate and direct difference to our students. In the last twelve months, for example, Somerville has installed site-wide wi-fi, giving our students access to online materials from anywhere in College.

We are one of the first colleges in Oxford to provide this valuable resource for 21st century study. For decades, Somerville has benefited from regular giving, enabling the College to plan ahead and carry out similarly innovative projects. We are extremely grateful to this growing circle of regular givers.

The power of regular giving Regular gifts have an enormous impact as they allow the College to plan ahead with confidence and make the most of all donations. Every gift to the Annual Fund, regardless of its size, can join together with gifts from other individuals to make a huge difference to Somerville and to the lives of students here today. For example, just 14 Somervillians making a donation of £15 per month could, after gift aid has been reclaimed, provide a £3,000 bursary for one year. We hope that even more Somervillians will be able to join this growing community of regular givers.

“ I will always be grateful to Somerville for the quality of the education that I received, the friends I made and for the care shown to me by the whole college at a difficult time in my life. My family were not wealthy but that mattered less then when grants were generous (and grants - not loans). I would like young people now to have the same opportunities I had then. It was a life-changer.” Sian Lockwood OBE (1973) Chief Executive, Community Catalysts and donor to the Annual Fund

The 2010 Telethon The students all greatly enjoyed the chance to speak with other Somervillians and to learn about their time at the College and lives since graduation. In 2011, the Somerville telethon raised a remarkable £200,000 the highest amount ever raised in a telethon at Somerville. Everyone who gave will be listed in the next Donor Report, but we would like to express our heartfelt thanks. A full account is also available on our website. The annual telethon campaign is key to the continuing success of the Annual Fund. In September and October 2010, thirteen students spent 618 hours over two weeks calling Somervillians all around the world. During this time the callers managed to have conversations with 575 people, raising over £106,000. This was a great opportunity for Somervillians to hear about the latest news from College.

“ I was a campaign caller for the Somerville telethons in 2010 and 2011. So many of the alumni that I spoke to were overwhelmingly friendly and keen to renew their connection to Somerville, and many of them did not realise how eager the College is to welcome them back to see all of the recent changes. My personal highlight was being offered work experience by one particularly generous alumnus, but every person who was happy to receive the phone call from Somerville made the whole experience worthwhile.” Rachel Boakes (2009, English Language and Literature) 15

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I made my first Will about twenty years ago when in my early 40s. Within a year my aunt had died, leaving me a legacy, then my husband also died, and together these events concentrated my mind on the need to think carefully about my own Will. Since then, I have reworked it twice as my circumstances have changed. Having no close family now, I have decided to leave small sums to dear friends and a larger sum to my one godson. Thereafter, everything is willed to a selection of charities. I wanted to recognise the importance in my life of my church and my College, so included Somerville. Of course, it is impossible to know when it will come into effect or quite what the sums of money will be at that time, but I am confident that Somerville will put its share to good use.â&#x20AC;? Judith Mitchell (Bainbridge, 1967) 16

Legacies Legacies are the most important form of charitable income that Somerville receives, and throughout its history, the College has benefited more than most Oxford colleges from generous alumni who have left a gift in their will.

Questions & Answers with

Helen Morton, Treasurer

How would you summarise the financial report for 2010-2011?

How well prepared is Somerville to face future economic challenges?

The College became a registered charity in December 2010 after many years as an exempt charity and therefore the format of accounts has changed significantly. So my answer is complicated by this change, as it is difficult to make comparisons with previous years.

We have a relatively stable situation – our endowment fund is a defensive portfolio designed to produce a reasonable level of income, whatever’s going on. The endowment assets of Somerville increased in value by £3.4m to £39.3m at July 2011, which gives us a modest endowment compared with some of the other colleges in Oxford, but means that we’re not as dependent on that form of income as those other colleges might be.

We experienced a small deficit this year, which is certainly not ideal, but better than it might have been: we were hoping to have sold a house within the financial year, and this sale was delayed. We saw a significant increase in conference income, which helped reduce the deficit. And it was a very good year for donations – Somervillians are incredibly generous people, and whenever we do make a surplus in a year, it is mostly due to them. It is important to note that the accounts are for the general College fund, and therefore only acknowledge unrestricted donations and legacies which we can use for general purposes as decided by the College’s Governing Body. As the Development Director mentions in her report, we have in fact received a total of £2 million in donations and legacies during this financial year. 22

In fact, the College has a very diverse range of income sources, made up of fees and academic income, student rents, non-student rents, unrestricted donations and legacies, conference income. Thanks to the new accommodation on the ROQ, we can keep building our conference and trading income. Of course, that new source of income would not have been available to us without alumni support. It can be a challenge when forecasting our financial performance, because we don’t know exactly how many people have pledged legacies to us or what the value of each pledge is. Somerville is extremely lucky to have one of the largest legacy incomes of all Oxford colleges, and this stands us in very good stead.

Please note: Due to a change in the format of accounts, it is not possible to provide a comparison with last year’s figures. * This accounts for all unrestricted gifts, which go into the College’s general fund. The total income for restricted and unrestricted legacies and donations was £2 million for 2010-11.

Are there any restrictions or limitations What are the financial priorities on the use of College endowment? for the coming year? Over half of the endowment is restricted, but for purposes that we can use – so in effect it doesn’t matter that it is restricted. For example, the big legacy that we received from Daphne Osborne in 2007 was restricted for teaching in the Physical and Biological Sciences – that covers pretty much half our teaching. However, something that was restricted to teaching in a particular subject would not be as helpful. The difficulty is that only about 60% of our teaching costs are met by income from the endowment, and the other 40% therefore has to come out of the general funds. The academic income is intended to cover those costs, but it has to cover other College costs as well. The Somerville Campaign is of course vital in aiding us there, and we’re in a far stronger position now than we were a few years ago.

Does the College have an investment policy? Yes – Somerville has an investment policy. We reviewed the management of the College’s investments in my first two years at Somerville, and selected a company called Newton Investment Management to whom we moved in 2002 when we agreed our investment policy. Newton has been given a clear discretionary mandate and investment objectives, which were last reviewed earlier this year.

We are working to a five year strategic and financial plan which is reviewed and updated every year but there are not many changes in our priorities year to year. The immediate priorities on the teaching side are the funding of some of the posts in the longer term, in French and Philosophy, and we will also be looking at Economics further down the line. Because of the major financial commitment to the ROQ site (we now have a £5 million loan for the building), the College is not yet in a position to commit to further significant building projects, but we have just received planning permission for an extension to and refurbishment of Wolfson in 2012 and we also hope to move the student bar to Vaughan terrace in 2012. Ultimately, the long-term objective is to continue increasing the endowment and the associated endowment income, and to consistently achieve an operating surplus that enables the growth of a strong Free General Reserve. The Campaign has been designed to tie in with our main priorities, and we are making good progress toward achieving those financial goals. Everything raised makes us far less vulnerable to future uncertainties around government funding, and ensures that Somerville can continue to deliver everything it was founded for.

The total investment return over the year was 14.4%, which compared to a benchmark return of 12.9%. We review our investments three times a year at Finance Committee, which includes an annual discussion at length. I then have a mid year meeting with Newton in London together with Nicola Ralston, a Somervillian who acts as our external adviser on investments. She is the person who we can bounce ideas off and discuss the best course of action.
