Report for Donors 2022-23

Principal’s Welcome

BARONESS ROYALL of BLAISDON

Over the course of my career, I have worked for many different organisations. And yet, in all those different places, I have never once encountered the same loyalty and generosity as that which Somervillians display towards their college, year after year.

I believe I know the reason for this extraordinary loyalty. It is the consequence of a deep trust. Our Honorary Fellow Ruth Thompson put it well when she said, ‘I give to Somerville because I trust them to do the right thing.’

As you’ll see in the following pages, we have managed that trust diligently this year. Careful financial management has enabled us to maintain Somerville’s position in a grim financial climate, with the College’s endowment impacted yet still faring better than many. This has enabled us to fulfil our core academic mission of teaching and research, as well as allocating money to areas of urgent need. One particularly important adjustment has been keeping student rents and living costs as low as possible, to ensure our students’ time here remains as free from worry as we can make it.

And yet, doing the right thing for Somervillians like Ruth also implies a responsibility that goes beyond maintaining the status quo. It means that we should look to the future with vision, and fulfil the high expectations you have of your College based on its past.

During the last year, we have sought to deliver on that trust and do the right thing in several ways. We have secured crucial funding to support our tutorial system, including the teaching of French and the partial funding of the Lord and Lady MacNair Early Career Fellowship in Law. We also celebrated the tenth anniversaries of the Oxford India Centre for Sustainable Development (OICSD) and the Margaret Thatcher Scholarship Trust (MTST) through a significant expansion of scholarships for our brightest students and future change-makers.

Finally, in a world tragically divided by war and deepening inequality, we have sought to deliver on our founding promise to include the excluded. The work of our Sanctuary Programme has attracted a phenomenal groundswell of support this year, including the transformative gift of Peggie Rimmer (see p8). Through such interventions, we will next year accommodate eight fully-funded Sanctuary Scholars at Somerville, bringing us to ten scholars in all since 2021.

Next year will see us mark a number of significant milestones, including five years until our 150th anniversary. It is therefore a timely moment to commit ourselves unequivocally to the next 150 years of this wonderful institution, with you at our side. To that end, 2024 will see the launch of RISE, the largest campaign in our college’s history and a project tailor-made to secure Somerville’s strategic objectives for the future.

I look forward to embarking on that journey with you very soon.

There is a real power in Somervillians coming together, whether by generation, subject or common cause.

I was reminded of this power at our annual Supporters’ Lunch this February, following a speech by Andrianna Bashar. Andrianna is a Somerville Sanctuary Scholar receiving the Ingrid Starritt Award established by Alex Starritt (2004, History and Modern Languages) in memory of his mother. Andrianna spoke about her experiences as a refugee in Ukraine, and what it meant to be supported

by Somerville. Unbeknownst to Andrianna, Dr Peggie Rimmer, was so moved by her story that she decided to establish a fund to help others in similar situations. You can read the full story of how Andrianna was a catalyst for Peggie’s inspirational act of philanthropy on page 8.

Sanctuary is clearly a cause that unites our entire community. But you have also shown your unswerving belief in what a Somerville education represents in many other ways. Thanks to you, we received an overwhelming three and a half million pounds in donations this year. These were for projects such as improving accessibility to the MCR, supporting the teaching of French at Somerville and funding our vital outreach work. Two of our major initiatives, the Oxford India Centre for Sustainable Development and the Margaret Thatcher Scholarship Trust, celebrated their ten-year anniversaries this year. Together, they have transformed student life for our postgraduate body in a landscape where graduate scholarships are rare as hen’s teeth. This year alone, we have added three new scholarships to the Oxford India Centre, about which you can read on page 18. The OICSD’s anniversary year will end with a flourish as we take the

You have once again shown your unswerving belief in what a Somerville education represents

In the MTST, we thank two of our most loyal donors for generously expanding their support. Lord Glendonbrook has now funded eight Somervillians through their undergraduate studies, while ST Telemedia in Singapore will have funded five outstanding students from backgrounds of financial disadvantage through the Lee Kuan Yew - Thatcher Scholarships. The 10th anniversary of the MTST was also marked by the awarding of the 50th Thatcher Scholarship to Milton Lee, whose story you can read on page 19. Between the OICSD, the MTST, the Sanctuary Scholarships and all the other funding opportunities you make possible, Somerville is among the top Oxford Colleges for the financial support we give our students.

Andrianna Bashar

We are fortunate that our community supports us in so many different ways. Thank you to everyone who so generously offered lots for our 2023 auction, and all those who bid for these once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Thank you, also, to everyone who attended our panoply of alumni events this year. These have included touring a Queen Anne house near Bristol with Development Board Co-Chair, Sybella Stanley (1979, Ancient and Modern History), a chamber recital in Berlin courtesy of Development Board member Dr Niels Kroner, a Seine river cruise with alumni of all ages, and a sky-scraping soirée in the New York apartment of Cindy Gallop (1977, English).

Back in Somerville, it’s been a joy to welcome five new colleagues to the Development and Alumni team. Alex, Becca, Amelia, Jackie Watson (1986, English) and Jackie Yip join a hugely committed and professional team, and I thank all of them for their magnificent efforts this year, as well as our Development Board of distinguished Somervillians co-chaired by Ayla Busch and Sybella Stanley.

For all that this Report celebrates, we must also acknowledge the incalculable loss of the inimitable Liz Cooke, a loss that we know is deeply felt throughout our community. Liz loved Somerville and Somervillians, and established one of the bestregarded alumni programmes at

Oxford over her lifetime of service. Honorary Fellow, Clara Freeman (1971, Modern History) put it perfectly when she said that, while it is difficult to adjust to her absence, we have a priceless legacy in her example. You can read the countless tributes to Liz in the online book of condolence on the College website.

We will remember Liz at a Memorial Service on April 27th 2024. We have also thought hard about how to create an enduring legacy for Liz at Somerville, one that enshrines her belief in Somerville as first and foremost an academically excellent institution. We have plans to raise funds to endow a History Fellowship in her name.

While it is difficult to adjust to Liz's absence, we have a priceless legacy in her example

In true Liz fashion, we continue to look ahead. 2024 brings with it a number of opportunities to celebrate what is special about Somerville. From the 60th anniversary of Dorothy Hodgkin’s Nobel Prize, which will be marked by a lecture from our Vice-Chancellor, to 30 years since we became a coeducational institution, there is much to look forward to. We continue to develop ambitious capital projects to help us deliver the most outstanding educational experience for current and future generations, and to do so sustainably.

I look forward to welcoming you at our next Supporters’ Lunch on February 3rd, or to our Spring Meeting with the Government’s Chief Scientific Adviser, Professor Dame Angela McLean, in March. For now I hope you enjoy reading these stories of how you are helping shape Somerville for the better.

Treasurer’s Report

ANDREW PARKER

As College returns to its customary routines, Somerville College Treasurer Andrew Parker delves into the complicated management required behind the scenes.

Operationally, 2022-23 has represented a return to pre-pandemic levels of activity. College social events are back to full swing, with weekly guest nights during termtime in particular proving very popular, fuelled by the quality of our catering. Our conference business and commercial events have also returned to pre-Covid levels, and the rental income from our seventeen shops has recovered, with pandemic related arrears being steadily cleared.

Financially, 2022-23 has been quite tight. As anticipated our costs, most notably utility costs, have risen quite sharply as the cost-of-living crisis continues to bite. Our income has not risen commensurately, partly because we took a very deliberate decision to support our students by only increasing college rents by 5.5% and college catering costs by 2%, and partly because the external macroeconomic climate, dominated as it is by the cost-of-living crisis, the war in Ukraine and the ongoing impact of Brexit, has put paid to any growth in our endowment.

As a result of these external pressures, we have had to draw down more than we normally would from our endowment this year to make ends meet. Although we have increased student rents and catering costs in line with inflation for the coming year (8%), we expect 2023-24 to be very similar with the pressure on our endowment continuing. Consequently, the theme for 2023-24 will necessarily be one of very careful cost-control and cutting our cloth according to our means.

In the longer term, the challenge of decarbonising our estate continues to loom large. Fortunately, an excellent bid was submitted to the government’s Salix scheme by our

Estates Manager Steve Johnson earlier this year. As a result, the college received £123,000 to produce a road map to net zero on a building-bybuilding basis. This is only one stage in a long journey, but it is a solid and constructive one, reflecting our resolve to become a sustainable College on behalf of the entire Somerville community.

Finally, after 11½ years in post, I will be retiring in June 2024. I would like to thank all of you who have supported Somerville over my time so energetically. Somerville is blessed to have such an engaged and generous alumni base and we could not have achieved what we have over my time without your support. Thank you.

Sharing Hope Across the Generations

The pioneering CERN physicist Dr Peggie Rimmer explains how a speech by Sanctuary Scholar Andrianna Bashar inspired her to establish the Dr Peggie Rimmer Sanctuary Fund.

Peggie's Story

I was born in 1940 into a coal mining community in the north of England, in a country at war. Thanks to the 1944 Education Act, I benefited almost beyond measure from an excellent UK education, free of charge. I was the first in my family to go to university, namely Liverpool, where I got the top degree in mathematics and physics, followed by a first class Honours degree in physics. In 1961 I came to Oxford, matriculated at Lady Margaret Hall, and obtained a DPhil in nuclear physics. I joined

Somerville in 1964 as a Junior Research Fellow, since when I've had unbreakable ties with the College, my kind of place. In 1967 I moved to Geneva and spent my research career at CERN, the European laboratory established in 1954 with the declared aim of avoiding the horror and strife that war had brought upon the continent and the world.

Unfortunately, higher education in the UK is now an expensive commodity, barely affordable for many, entirely out of reach for some. That, combined with the noticeable shortage of women in STEM subjects, led me to support a Bursary for Women in Science several years ago, hoping to redress in some small way the class/ gender imbalance.

Sadly, much of the world is now overflowing with hate, danger and fear on an epic scale. I'm dismayed by the prejudice and cruelty that lead one group of people to inflict deprivation and suffering on another.

Living in Switzerland, traditionally a neutral country of political asylum, for over half a century has deeply impressed me. From my sitting room, I see Europe’s highest mountain in the background, the Mont Blanc, with the flags of the world's largest humanitarian network in the foreground, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies – the majesty of nature versus the misery of harm.

I recently attended lunch in College at which a young student from Ukraine spoke about the tragedy overtaking her country, and how a Sanctuary Scholarship at Somerville is opening her way to a safer and brighter future. I immediately decided that by setting up a Fund within Somerville’s framework I might be able to help some of those who aren’t nearly as lucky as I have been. I’m confident that College will provide beneficiaries with the refuge, welcome and academic opportunities to make the world a more just, peaceful and happy place for everyone.

Daily reminder: the IFRC headquarters with Mont Blanc behind

Andrianna's Story

I never dreamt that my speech at this year’s Supporters’ Lunch would contribute towards Peggie Rimmer’s incredible support of the Somerville Sanctuary Programme. In fact, right up until I started speaking, I wasn’t sure what I was going to say.

In the end, I decided to speak from the heart.

I began with a little background, sharing that I come from Donetsk, in the less affluent region of Eastern Ukraine. I remember the dining hall grew silent as I reflected that it wasn’t common for people from my region to aspire towards a place like Oxford. I then shed some light on the effects of the war in Donbass in 2015, and how my mother and I had been on the move ever since.

What happens from the years of hardship, I explained, is that you begin to lose hope; your goal becomes

survival. I told everyone that’s why this opportunity meant more than words could express. For sanctuary scholars like me, the support of donors like Peggie or my own sponsor, Alexander Starritt (2004, History and Modern Languages), signals that someone, somewhere believes in us. It encourages us to believe in the possibility of peace, safety and a new beginning.

I never expected to find a second home - but at Somerville, I did

I also wanted to tell everyone how scholarships, especially sanctuary scholarships, represent more than just money. They are a gift of time: time to focus on our studies, to volunteer in our communities, to pursue professional opportunities and think about real world problems. I know that I would not be where I am today if I had not received this scholarship. More than that, I would not have the hope of one day building a safe home for my mum, ensuring all our horrendous experiences are behind us.

Being a displaced person can make life almost impossible at times. But the kindness shown by everyone from Jan onwards has helped me to cope and even flourish at Somerville. I’ll never forget the happy times I’ve had this year, such as open mic nights, Bonfire Night and the wonderful themed formals. I’ll also treasure the quiet moments when I felt so safe, like those uneventful afternoons when everyone sat together in the MCR, finishing off a puzzle or a boardgame.

As a Sanctuary Scholar who lost her home, I never expected to find a second one. But at Somerville, I did, and I shall never forget what that meant for me.

The Peggie Rimmer Sanctuary Fund is the largest single expansion to Somerville's Sanctuary programme since its creation in 2021, and will offer vital support to current and future scholars.

Two Sides of a Telethon Call

In this year's Telethon, 13 Somerville students spent 835 hours calling our alumni, raising a phenomenal £223,000 in unrestricted funds.

This vital financial support depends on two things: the passion of our callers and the sympathetic ear lent by you, the Somerville community. To convey a little of this special dynamic, we invited one of our callers and the Somervillian with whom she spoke to share their reflections on the Telethon.

THE CALLER: Ursula White (2021, English)

However many calls you make, dialling a stranger's number and sitting silently while the telephone rings always comes with a twinge of nerves. But every now and then you make a call that is so genuinely lovely, it makes the nerves go away (at least for the next couple of calls).

In this year’s campaign, after a long stretch of no-answers, I was lucky enough to speak to Faimon Roberts,

whose cheery, yet insightful chat about his work in journalism immediately put me at ease.

Faimon was in the car, driving back from researching a story with his photojournalist friend, when he picked up my call. He seemed delighted to hear from the college and we went on to have an interesting discussion about working as a writer and his memories of the college. I think my favourite bit of the call was when he began to tell his friend about how great Somerville is, saying roughly half the talking points I had planned for our conversation!

After the initial chat came the bit of the call every student caller dreads… making the ask. But even this felt easy due to Faimon’s friendly demeanour and genuine interest in the college's fundraising goals. When he offered to give such a generous donation to the

college, I was in shock. I actually had to ask Faimon to repeat himself, feigning a bad connection to make sure I hadn't misheard him! I was so embarrassed about being caught off guard, but Jackie [Yip, Somerville’s Regular Giving Executive] reassured me that the conversation had gone really well.

When Faimon offered such a generous donation, I was in shock!

The Telethon is a fascinating way to get involved with Somerville’s fundraising work and gain a better understanding of how the college is funded. Perhaps even more importantly, it’s a way to build connections, expand horizons and learn something new. Admittedly, it’s not always easy, especially when you end up saying, “Hi, I’m calling from Somerville College” to a few too many answering machines. But that’s why the good calls mean so much!

THE ALUMNUS:

Faimon Roberts III (2003, Cuneiform Studies)

There is little to connect Oxford and Pointe à La Hache, Louisiana.

Oxford is, well, Oxford and Pointe à La Hache is a smattering of houses, government buildings, churches, and a store laid along the Mississippi River’s east bank near its mouth. Its residents are mostly fishermen or oil workers.

Recently a photojournalist friend and I went to Pointe à La Hache to investigate a drinking water crisis. We had to interview residents, many of them poor, to gauge the impact of the crisis. This reporting can be hard. People are stressed and press-wary. Even with a good approach, rejections can be harsh.

As we drove home, Ursula called. Now, instead of being the approacher, I was the one being approached.

Ursula’s upbeat tone was delightful. She asked us about our work as journalists – a smart question, because journalists love talking

about journalism. Through our conversation, I was able to reflect on how Somerville helped shape where I am today.

When I arrived at the college in 2003, I was different from many of my Middle Common Room peers.

I was older, married and studying a relatively obscure subject: Cuneiform Studies. Yet immediately, I was able to make connections, especially through sports. I played Cuppers basketball, and learned to play rugby with the Somerville-Corpus team.

I formed friendships I still have today.

Academically, I spent plenty of time with Somerville Fellow Stephanie Dalley, who taught basic Akkadian and other subjects. It was a time of unparalleled intellectual and personal growth.

15 years later, those tutes were a long way from my mind. But in talking with Ursula, it reminded me that I couldn’t do the work that I do – and love – without the lessons and growth that happened because of the college on Woodstock Road.

I take heart in knowing that I’m helping students who, like me, might arrive feeling a little out of place

Then Ursula told us about the Somerville hardship fund for students. How it helps students who might not otherwise have the chance to take advantage of all that Oxford has to offer. How it helps Somerville attract and retain a diverse student body including students who, like Ursula, come from state schools.

It was a compelling pitch.

My contribution wasn’t much. But I take heart in knowing that it will help students who, like me, might arrive in Oxford feeling a little out of place. At Somerville, they will find a true welcome. I am very happy to play a small part in continuing that tradition.

To make a regular gift to Somerville, please contact Jackie Yip, our Regular Giving and Alumni Relations Executive.

Rewriting the Script for India's Rape Adjudication Laws

In 2023, Dr Aradhana Cherupara Vadekkethil won the SLS’ Best Doctoral Paper prize for her thesis on rape adjudication in India, and was appointed Somerville’s Lord and Lady McNair Early Career Fellow in Law. Here she reflects on her academic journey, and how Somerville empowered it.

‘The constable told me that the law is like a spider's web: the small creatures get caught while the big ones break through. But he forgot to say how the spider itself never gets caught in its web.’

This haunting verdict on the criminal justice system was shared with me ten years ago by a death-row prisoner.

In the decade since, my research has sought to answer one overarching

question inspired by those words. That is, how can we challenge the lacunae within the criminal justice system and hold the ‘spider’ of India’s police and judiciary to greater account?

To begin answering this question, I worked as a senior field researcher for the Death Penalty Research Project during my undergraduate studies in Delhi. Through interviews with prisoners, I saw first-hand the wide disjunction between the law in theory and the treatment meted out to those sentenced to death in practice. There was, in fact, an ‘ideal accused’ whom the criminal justice system clearly perceived to be deserving of the harshest sentence. This prompted me to wonder whether there might also be an ‘ideal victim’ – someone who implicitly merits the sympathy of the courts and system.

To answer this question, I needed to do more research. I had previously applied to Oxford to read for a BCL (Masters in Law). My joy on being accepted was swiftly replaced with crushing disappointment when I grasped that I could never take up my place without scholarship funding. That was the first time Somerville changed my life, by awarding me the Cornelia Sorabji Scholarship that enabled my journey to Oxford.

It was during the BCL that I first realised I could pursue my new line of enquiry on the ‘ideal victim’ by examining how rape adjudication takes place in India. This focus was informed by the fact that, in 2013, the laws relating to sex offences had undergone a transformation in India, including the adoption of a new formal definition of sexual consent. The changes were introduced in an effort to discard the paternalistic and misogynistic attitudes of pre-2013 judicial discourse and deconstruct the paradigm of shamehonour in connection with rape.

total 1,664 trial court decisions and 246 high court decisions on rape law to examine if the post-2013 judicial discourse reflects the new laws. Was there a consideration of the updated definition of consent, grounded in respecting female sexual autonomy as envisaged by the 2013 amendment, or did the judicial discourse reflect the continuation of atavistic cultural stereotypes about rape?

thesis by calling for improved judicial training around laws relating to sexual offences; a circle was complete.

In all this work, Somerville’s support has been crucial. Without my Cornelia Sorabji and Gopal Subramanium Scholarships, studying for my BCL, MPhil and doctorate would have remained a dream locked behind financial barriers. Today, Somerville is helping me again as I make the transition from student to academic as the Lord and Lady McNair Early Career Fellow. I hope to make the College proud in this position. Alongside teaching Somerville undergraduates, I plan to publish my work and use the evidence I have gathered to make a case for judicial policy changes in laws related to sex offences in India, as well as launching two further projects in this field.

It became more and more clear that the attitudes of judges were frequently overriding the new laws.

I duly embarked on an MPhil, once again as a Cornelia Sorabji Scholar, and then a PhD, this time as a scholar of Gopal Subramanium, the former Solicitor General of India. I studied in

The judgments made for distressing reading. It became more and more clear that the attitudes of judges were frequently overriding the new laws. Whenever I became too exasperated by their sexist and stereotypical language, I drew strength from the welfare services at Somerville and my community of friends. I also gained inspiration from a familiar face. A large part of my doctoral thesis was written in the Law Room of the College Library, directly beneath a portrait of Cornelia Sorabji, the first woman to practice law in Britain and India. I took great comfort from that stern, unflinching gaze and from reminding myself that, over a century ago, Sorabji had foreseen that it is possible for laws to be ignored or not properly applied. Indeed, as early as 1889, she was calling for ‘education before legislation’. In 2023, I made almost exactly the same recommendation when I ended my

As I embark on this new academic journey, I hope to maintain Somerville’s supportive ethos for others. I hope especially that I will be able to encourage and empower my students to work on issues of criminal justice and human rights, just as Somerville’s Tutorial Fellows in Law, Professors Julie Dickson and Chris Hare, once encouraged and empowered me.

Thanks FROM THE JCR

Awelcome return to normality presented the Somerville JCR with many new opportunities and plenty to be grateful for in 2022-23, explains outgoing JCR President Mei Whattam (2021, Classical Archaeology and Ancient History).

The year 2022-23 was one of positive change and enthusiasm for the JCR, underpinned by a welcome return to normality after the complex challenges posed by the pandemic. Our committee worked collaboratively, both internally and alongside senior management, to implement numerous improvements that will benefit the Somervillians of today and tomorrow alike.

Highlights include the creation of a Prescription Fund to provide economic relief for students requiring purchased medications, the election of a JCR

Working Class Officer, and securing over £5,000 for a refurbishment of the college gym.

Our creation of a distinct Arts Fund within the JCR budget enabled us to subsidise the creative endeavours of our community, leading to notable successes in drama and journalism plus a thrilling Arts Week. Somerville also continued to excel in sport, with numerous Blues players among the undergraduate population and a brilliant victory in the Women's Hockey Cuppers. For many, our

acquisition of the BT Sport channel in Terrace and a new college punt hire scheme proved to be two of the most popular additions to life during Trinity!

One of the major milestones this year was the return of the Somerville BAME formal. This inspiring night brought together over 200 BAME students from across the university in a celebration of diversity at Oxford. Thanks to the efforts of several committee members, that celebration is now joined by several new intersectional events at Somerville, including QPOC and BAME X Working Class forums.

Finally, I am proud to say that the JCR has also looked beyond college in its work this year. Having successfully reestablished our relationship with Molly's Library in Ghana, several students visited the charity this summer to help refurbish the library. Back in Oxford, students continued to volunteer with our linked primary school, St Frideswide’s, and other local charities. We also made a significant contribution to the Shoeboxes for Ukraine, reflecting our support for all those tragically impacted by war.

In all these changes, I remain grateful to the Somerville community for its support. From your creation of lifechanging bursaries and scholarships to supporting our clubs and social initiatives, we feel your influence at every turn. I hope you will feel that we are living up to your expectations, and making Somerville the community you remember.

A CATALYST FOR OPPORTUNITY

From running ‘Chemistry Cafés’ for first years in the Terrace bar, to lacing up his skates for Alternative Ice Hockey, fourth year Chemistry student Mason Wakley might be Somerville’s busiest man. Here, he shares how Somerville’s support helped him during the applications process and created new possibilities in his life.

I couldn’t believe my luck when I discovered Somerville during a UNIQ summer school. The scheme gives students from state schools where no or very few people have gone to Oxbridge a chance to live and learn in this environment. While you’re based at one college, you visit a number of others during the week, which for me included Somerville. I’m not sure what I expected when we finally reached Woodstock Road and the glass doors of the Porters’ Lodge… but by the time our student guide told us we could walk on the grass it was beginning to dawn on me that I’d found my college. It felt immediately like somewhere I could be at home. When my mum and I came to an open day the following summer, there was no other college we needed to visit: after a quick double-check that this was indeed the place for me, we enjoyed a nice day of sightseeing instead!

Of course, there were more than a few steps between that visit and arriving here as a fully-fledged undergraduate. Somerville were brilliant from start to finish. The Demystifying Oxford day gave me a chance to find out more about the interview process, which proved particularly helpful as the only teacher at my school with enough Oxbridge experience to do a mock interview was a History teacher – not extremely useful for a Chemistry applicant! The offer holders’ day was also a huge help in making sure I felt confident, academically and socially, when I arrived.

The financial support Somerville has given me has also made a huge difference. I received a bursary for students from low-income backgrounds, and was also awarded more specific help with my travel costs during a summer internship studying antimicrobial resistance at the Crick Institute in London. Funding at Somerville isn’t just tied to your course and your circumstances, though – anyone can apply for support to develop new skills and experiences. I was able to take French classes for a year at the University’s Language Centre for example, and even made a trip to France over the summer to learn and practise in the field.

The opportunities Somerville provides can certainly level playing fields or reduce disadvantages, but I think that the biggest thing that it achieves is that it creates possibilities. With the confidence, skills and experiences I’ve gained here, there are so many new doors open to me now – and more grass to walk on…

Out of the Archives, INTO THE LIGHT

The Somerville Archives are a safehouse of records and institutional memory. But they also have another role: as a repository of fascinating objects with stories to tell.

These objects were never made to sit in cupboards, and this is the last thing their curators, our Librarian Sarah Butler and Archivist Kate O’Donnell, want for them. Rather, the pair are constantly searching for new and inventive ways to give these items a new life. So when they received an invitation to loan one of Somerville’s paintings

to a Royal Academy exhibition in 2022, they promptly set the wheels in motion.

The painting in question is ‘Landscape with windblown trees’ by the German expressionist Paula ModersohnBecker (1876-1907). It was bequeathed to Somerville by our Additional Fellow and former Librarian, Lotte Labowsky (1905-91). Labowsky first came to Somerville as one of several Jewish academics to whom the College offered sanctuary in the 1930s after they fled Nazi oppression. This small, minimalistic landscape once hung on the wall of Lotte’s parents’ Hamburg apartment, and was one of the few possessions the Labowskys brought with them to England.

Speaking of the painting, Somerville’s Tutorial Fellow in German Professor Almut Suerbaum said, “This work gives an insight into Modersohn-Becker’s power with landscape. She painted it while living at the artists’ colony at Worpswede – yet she does not offer us an idyll. Instead, the picture reminds us that Worpswede was a remote village where peat was almost the only source of income and life was hard. Her painting shows the windswept bleakness, the struggle of the human figure framed by birch trees, but also a restlessness and energy. It may be that this is why the painting was important to Lotte Labowsky: it carries an echo of a northern landscape which spoke to her in the gentler surroundings of Oxford.”

Now this important painting is gaining a new life following its appearance in the ‘Making Modernism’ exhibition. The RA suggested the painting

would benefit from being restored, which Somerville was able to do relatively inexpensively. The fantastic transformation professional restorer Georgie Dennis achieved in removing decades of dirt can be seen in the detail of restoration shown above.

‘Landscape with windblown trees’ has now been re-hung in the New Council Room, a popular space for piano practice and meetings. With its rejuvenated colours and fascinating story, the painting will undoubtedly inspire future generations.

“The Somerville College Archives are actively seeking to restore selected paintings from the collection. Currently on our wish-list are the collection of Mary Somerville’s oils and ‘The Devil Sowing Tares’ attributed to Abraham Bloemaert, 1566–1651 (pictured).”

The Power of Three

The Oxford India Centre for Sustainable Development this year founded three new scholarships at Somerville. Each is a product of unique philanthropy, yet all three embody the OICSD’s unique approach to development and India.

Ten years ago, the OICSD was established to support bright Indian applicants wishing to pursue an Oxford education. It started with just three postgraduate scholarships. This year, the OICSD welcomed its largest ever cohort of ten new scholars, and celebrated appointing fifty scholars since 2013. It remains the only research centre in the UK focused explicitly on challenges around sustainability in India.

The three new scholarships established in 2023 symbolise the OICSD’s pioneering approach to development. The first is the Savitribai Phule Graduate Scholarship – a first of its kind scholarship to support students from historically marginalised communities and first-generation learners from India. Named after the social reformer who spearheaded women’s educational rights in India, it embodies Somerville’s impulse to include the excluded. Its first holder is the environmental justice campaigner Niharika Singh.

The second scholarship symbolises the OICSD’s commitment to shift the needle on India’s development policy. Founded by Mr Cyril Shroff, a senior Indian lawyer and Managing Partner of Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas, the Cyril Schroff Scholarships will empower the next generation of India’s

leaders in law and public policy. The first Cyril Shroff Scholar, Reema Sathe, is a social activist and entrepreneur who will read for a Master’s in Public Policy starting in 2023.

Finally, the Elizabeth Moir Scholarship at Somerville was established by Mr Rajan Anandan. In a touching reference to the transformative potential of education, Mr Anandan chose to name his scholarship after his own teacher, the well-known Sri Lankan educator Elizabeth Moir.

This scholarship is my way of saying thank you to my former teacher

Of his decision to fund this scholarship, Mr Anandan said, “I attribute a lot of what I have been able to achieve to the extraordinary education and support that Mrs. Moir's school gave me during my formative years in Sri Lanka. This scholarship is my way of saying thank you to her for the extraordinary impact she had on many of us over many decades.”

The first Elizabeth Moir scholar at Somerville will be Aanchal Saxena

(2023, MPP). On receiving the news of her scholarship, Aanchal said: “I have been working in India’s sustainability space for several years. For me, the main learning during this time has been the need for a productive publicprivate partnership, which the Blavatnik School of Government is well-placed to enable through its global network of policymakers and shapers.”

She continued, “I could not have afforded to embark on this next chapter of my life without financial aid, and am grateful to the OICSD for the Elizabeth Moir Scholarship. Knowing the inspiration behind this scholarship makes it all the more meaningful.”

THE FIFTIETH THATCHER SCHOLAR

In 2013, the Margaret Thatcher Scholarship Trust was established to create a living legacy to one of Somerville’s most eminent alumnae. It pledged to bring the brightest minds to Somerville and empower them in forging a better future for all. Ten years later, Milton Lee (2023, Physics) has achieved the historic milestone of becoming the 50th Thatcher Scholar – a journey he recounts for us here.

My family’s financial future was wholly derailed in 2005. Our savings, which had been invested into a joint venture, were siphoned out by a business partner. An enterprise which should have provided for our future became a $200,000 black hole, triggering a legal battle that took five years to resolve.

Squeezed by solicitors’ fees, even the school bus became an expense my parents had to plan around. Luxuries were out of the question. All this – plus the insecurity of not knowing if it would be made right – led to a lot of tension during my childhood.

It was against this stressful backdrop that I went through school. Instead of resorting to private tuition whenever my grades flagged (extremely common

in Singapore for those aspiring to university), I fell in love with learning on my own terms. I discovered the fascinating possibilities of maths through YouTube videos, and lost myself in Wikipedia rabbit holes on astronomy. I learned from my peers, too, persuading the Seniors at my college to teach me calculus so I could pull my weight in astronomy competitions. I was also lucky to receive academic support from many wonderful and dedicated teachers.

something I can ill-afford, as I will soon need to support my parents in their retirement.

The life of being an Oxford student seemed very far away

My passion for learning drew me inexorably towards Oxford. I applied in 2020 and was made an offer to study Physics at Jesus College. My joy at winning a place was soon tempered by the reality of tuition fees. Government scholarships for Physics degrees are few and far between, and getting a huge private loan is

Discovering the Lee Kuan YewThatcher Scholarship changed things; it was a simple choice to decline my offer and re-apply for Somerville to chase the glimmer of hope it represented. Preparing for admissions tests and interviews at the same time as military service was physically and mentally gruelling. I had to make the best use of every scrap of time and energy available to me (even sneaking in revision during military exercises). The life of being an Oxford student seemed very far away.

But then the news arrived. It is hard to describe the jubilation I felt when I learned that my efforts had paid off and some fortune had finally come our way. I am so grateful to ST Telemedia and the Margaret Thatcher Trust for giving me this opportunity and making it possible for me to study at Somerville — this scholarship has rekindled my hopes and dreams. With it, I aim to contribute towards the fight against climate change to the best of my ability.

Somerville’s Partnership with St Frideswide’s School, One Year On

At the end of our first year working with St Frideswide Primary School, we can safely say it’s delivered everything we hoped – and more.

In 2022, five Oxford colleges were twinned with local primary schools. The initiative, pioneered by our Principal Jan, hoped to support pupils and teachers both within the classroom and without, raising aspirations and forging new links between the university and local community.

We were lucky enough to be paired with the wonderful St Frideswide’s Primary School. St Frideswide’s is located by Florence Park in East Oxford and has a diverse student body with a variety of educational needs.

Our amazing student volunteers led the way. From helping with 1:1 tutoring in lessons to adding biodiversity to the school garden, they took a hands-on approach to expanding the horizons of our young associates. Ming Song Oh (2022, Law, Lee Kuan Yew – Thatcher Scholar) headed our team of volunteer student tutors.

“It has been wonderfully satisfying to see the children improve over time – I think I can speak on behalf of all of the volunteer tutors when I say that this project has been really meaningful in our lives this year.”

The partnership hasn’t just been about Somerville visiting St Frideswide –we brought them to Somerville, too. Groups of year 5 and 6 pupils have enjoyed scavenger hunts, tours, talks and delicious lunches in our hall. Ten years old might seem like an early point to gently introduce children to university, but raising aspirations at such a young age can have a genuine positive impact, one we could already see clearly by the end of the sessions.

“This partnership has had a significant impact on many of the children here,” said Deputy Headteacher Victoria Nelson.

“Their interactions with students and visits to the college have opened their eyes to different opportunities and paths in life, and 1:1 tutoring has not only supported academic achievement but supported the self-esteem and resilience of children who needed an extra boost for their mental health and wellbeing.”

Our next project will be hosting the school nativity play in Somerville chapel. We look forward to welcoming Mary, Joseph, the wise men and the baby Jesus in due course – although we’re not sure the sheep and donkeys will enjoy the stone floor. Maybe it’s time to invest in some straw…

THE RACHEL BLADON TRAVEL GRANT

Following the unexpected death of their friend Rachel Bladon (1987, History), three Somervillians came together to create a travel grant in her memory. Here Sarah Wyles (1987, History), Katharine Cook (1987, Chemistry) and Alysoun Owen (Glasspool; 1987, English) explain the motivation behind their distinctive memorial.

Everybody’s recollections of Rachel include her incredible smile, her ability to draw people together, and how very many people loved her then and now.

Why a travel grant? Because it represents much that mattered to Rachel, including Somerville itself.

The daughter of a motoring journalist and a Foreign Office administrative secretary, Rachel came to Somerville from North London Collegiate School in 1987. She was truly gifted at academics, sports and art. One

of the most diligent historians in her cohort, she also played lacrosse for Oxford and joined The Cherwell student newspaper, where she became news editor. She enjoyed her fair share of parties and was at the centre of a Venn diagram of different social circles, though never seeking limelight for herself.

Rachel’s strong moral code and modest outlook came across to her friends as an inner assurance. Funny and independent-minded, she challenged all ideas, fashionable or not, and she had her own, classic style. Her tastes ranged from Robert Doisneau to Elvis. She wore her achievements so lightly that she didn’t appear to accept them as such. This was a constant theme, it turns out.

Rachel travelled widely. She worked in France and then in Hong Kong, having married Andrew, a teacher and the brother of a close school friend. She built a career as a writer and editor of educational books. Her 80plus books reached students of English of all ages worldwide and included award-winning re-tellings such as The Life and Diaries of Anne Frank (2018). She was series editor of the Oxford Bookworms Library.

Much of this was freelance, as Rachel and Andrew raised Grace, Anna and Frank. She added developing and sharing knowledge of severe epilepsy management to the more usual elements of loving parenthood. During the Covid-19 pandemic, she established a ‘Help your neighbour’ scheme, and volunteered as a vaccinator. She stood as a Labour candidate for her town council, surprising nobody but herself when she was elected. In the year before Rachel’s death, she became deputy mayor, produced the council newsletter and was a volunteer teacher to Ukrainian families. To her delight, Grace won a place at Manchester, there was a drama course to match Anna’s passion for acting, and Frank was taking A-levels and playing ice-hockey. We shared Covid-compliant, long walks. She had discovered a love and talent for sailing.

There’s a gap where our extraordinary friend existed. This travel award for undergraduate historians at Somerville symbolises the education, optimistic exploration and cross-boundary connections that mattered to Rachel.

Access All Areas

Somerville’s graduate common room is now open to all, thanks to the addition of a new lift to the terrace supported by a successful crowdfunding campaign.

When our Margery Fry building was opened in 1966, it was ahead of its time as the first purpose-built graduate accommodation in the city. We hope to have returned the building to the head of the historical pack this autumn with the official opening of our new lift.

The completion of the £45,000 project means that wheelchair users will now be able to access the upper level of the terrace, which has become increasingly popular as a spot for working and socialising during the warmer and drier months since its renovation during the pandemic. Graduate students in particular will benefit from being able to take a bigger role in MCR social events and meetings hosted in the common room.

In November 2023, the MCR hosted a celebratory tea following the lift’s formal opening, with Virginia Ross (1966, International Studies), a significant supporter of the crowdfunding project and one of the building’s first ever student residents, attending as guest of honour.

“It’s simply marvellous to see how the college is evolving and adapting to the needs of its students,” said Virginia.

“Living in Graduate House as part of the close-knit MCR community was a rewarding and memorable time in my life. Being able to play a small part in making that experience more open to future generations of Somervillians is most gratifying.”

From all of us at Somerville, we wish to say an enormous thank you to everyone who gave money to support this project, which will make such a difference to the lives of Somervillians over the years to come.

Thanks from the Somerville MCR

Meghmala Mukherjee (Disabled Students Representative MCR, 2022-23) and Ishani Mookherjee (Disabled Students Representative MCR, 2023-24).

"We would like to thank everyone who responded to our fundraising initiative for a new lift this year. Your support has made Somerville College one of the most accessible colleges in Oxford, something all Somervillians can take pride in. For members who have been unable to access the Common Room in the past, we hope you can visit the College again, and take pride and joy in enjoying this space."

Pratishtha Deveshwar (2020, Masters in Public Policy and Accessibility Campaigner)

"To everyone who has supported this campaign: your generosity has transformed our precious common room into a place where students with disabilities can fully engage in the college experience, fostering a sense of belonging and promoting diversity within our community. Thanks to you, there is now an inclusive and welcoming environment for all students like myself at Somerville. I, for one, am extremely excited to return to our College and try the lift out to access the MCR hassle-free, all thanks to you!"

Ebenezer Agatiba Abdul-Hakim (2022, MSc African Studies)

"This project has been long overdue. Its successful completion auspiciously sets loose wheelchair-using MCR members from mobility constraints. It must be celebrated as a partial fulfilment of the very inspiring founding values of Somerville and an affirmation of the belief that accessibility is an imperative and not a choice for persons with physical impairments. In my home country, Ghana, accessibility and inclusion for folks with physical impairments can unfortunately seem like a mirage. The awesome experience I had at Somerville and Oxford has inspired me to reorient my career to advocate for meaningful inclusion for folks in Ghana. It is fair and just to make society accommodative of diversity, a process which this new lift symbolises."

Your support has made Somerville one of the most accessible Colleges at Oxford

FAMILY DAY

SEPTEMBER 9TH 2023

It was such a pleasure to welcome Somervillians of all ages and their families back to Somerville for the 2023 edition of our Family Day.

Under blazing September skies, guests enjoyed masterclasses from our academics on topics ranging from Old English riddles to insoluble mathematical puzzles to plankton. There was also a cornucopia of activities for children and young people of all ages, including chocolate making, tug of war, water balloon fights, climbing walls, an inflatable helter skelter, live folk music, and more. We hope you enjoy these snapshots of an event that brought us together as a community and reminded us what makes Somerville so special to us all.

With warm gratitude to Emma Haight (1999, Psychology, Philosophy and Physiology), whose generosity allowed this beautiful afternoon to take place.

A year in the SOMERVILLE FUND

Jackie Yip this year took on the role of Regular Giving and Alumni Relations Executive, following the departure of Niamh Walshe (2015, English and Italian). She joins us from Cardiff University, where she was SU President and Major Gifts Executive.

One of the biggest misconceptions people have when it comes to regular giving is thinking that their gift won’t make a difference. They assume that, in the grand scheme of things, £5 or £10 a month is too little to have an impact.

In my new role as Regular Giving and Alumni Relations Executive, I have come to realise that regular giving is,

in fact, one of the most transformative ways to support Somerville. The forward-thinking nature of regular giving enables us to plan for the future and move swiftly, allocating your donations to the areas of greatest need. Just £5 a month, from enough Somervillian supporters, can go a long way in supporting our most vital projects in access and outreach, hardship relief and academic enrichment.

Nothing captures the spirit of regular giving better than this year’s Telethon. Over two weeks in September, our 13 student callers clocked up 835 hours hearing all your latest news and explaining how your support can make a difference. In fourteen days, they raised an incredible £204,830 for the Somerville Fund, with an additional £19,000 in matched funding. Thank you to our callers for being such wonderful ambassadors, and everyone who gave for their transformative generosity.

THE CEDAR CIRCLE

Established in 2022, the Cedar Circle is our new group created to recognise and thank those Somervillians who make regular gifts to their College. It celebrates the loyal commitment of donors whose support enables us to plan effectively for the future, invest in student support and respond decisively to urgent need.

This year, members of the Cedar Circle have enabled us to:

The Gift of a Legacy

Within every legacy to Somerville is the story of a unique bond between Somervillians and their College. We are privileged to share here three such stories, and the transformative impact their gifts will have on future generations.

A DIPLOMATIC MISSION

Lady Heath’s globetrotting existence as an ambassador’s wife belied an inner life of quiet devotion to others that is typified by her generous bequest to Somerville.

Margaret Bragg was born into an elite academic world as the daughter of Sir Lawrence Bragg, the youngest ever Nobel laureate in Physics, and Alice

Bragg, a future Mayor of Cambridge. Eager to forge her own path, she switched Cambridge for Oxford in 1950, where she read History at Somerville and made many lifelong friends.

In 1954, her desire to explore other ways of life was answered when she married Mark Heath, a newly minted diplomat. The couple’s early postings took them to Djakarta, Denmark and Bulgaria at the height of the Cold War, with the result that Margaret's home-schooling of their young family was extensively bugged. Subsequent postings included Paris and Rome, where Mark became Britain's first Ambassador to the Holy See since the Reformation. A final role for Mark as Head of Protocol for the Hong Kong Government ended the family’s travels, and in 1988 they retired to Bath.

Alongside her outward journeys, Lady Heath maintained a vital inner journey throughout her life. She was deeply involved in the life of Christ Church, Bath, contributing

to inter-faith projects and running a bookstall that reflected her own voracious reading appetites. A loving mother, grandmother and greatgrandmother, Lady Heath retained her intellectual curiosity, love of family and mischievous sense of humour until the end.

Friends and family remember her lifelong struggle with depression and a sense of unworthiness, but also note how these struggles only deepened her compassion for others. It is perhaps from this concern to help others that we receive this legacy, as well in recognition of Lady Heath’s fond memories of the College she attended all those years ago.

Her letters were as copious as the leaves of autumn; her emails as copious, if more legible

A LIFE OF QUIET GOOD WORKS

Dorothy Newton (née Casley) was a woman of many talents, lifelong friendships and deep kindness, who remembered Somerville with a gift we shall treasure.

Born in Devon in 1932, Dorothy attended Bishop Blackall School in Exeter, where her academic brilliance was rewarded with a state scholarship to read Modern Languages at Somerville in 1951.

Dorothy treasured her time at Somerville, continuing to thrive academically and making friendships that would be important for the rest of her life. On graduating from Oxford, Dorothy went to work for London County Council in the audit department. It wasn’t a thrilling job for a linguist, but it was here that Dorothy met John Newton. Three years later, Dorothy left work to start a family with her new husband.

The couple had two sons, Richard and David. Once the boys became

teenagers, Dorothy returned to work. Dorothy's favourite role in her subsequent career was transcribing committee tapes in the House of Commons; she loved the challenge of transcribing the various select committee meetings, accurately and at speed, so Hansard could publish the day's proceedings that evening. Outside work, Dorothy was a mean pitch and putt player with her sons and a keen amateur dramatist with her local theatre group. Volunteering was a huge part of her life: she undertook a plethora of roles for her local church, and was an active member of the Townswomen's Guild and the WI.

Although exceptionally bright and driven, Dorothy remained unassuming and modest all her life, even during her final illness. She was naturally selfless and reached out to others in a totally instinctive way. It is typical of her modesty and goodness that she remembered Somerville in her will, and we are deeply grateful that she did.

THE LEGACY THAT WAS A LOVE LETTER

Bill Leeming was a stranger to Somerville, but his wife knew the College well and their shared love prompted this extraordinary gift. Quite often, Somerville is not informed about a bequest by the legator’s family for understandable reasons of grief and fatigue. Even more rarely, we sometimes receive a legacy gift from someone we know nothing about.

This was the case with the extremely generous bequest of Bill Leeming. Despite our best efforts, we have been able to discover no new information about Mr Leeming other than that he was the husband of the Somervillian Isabel Leeming, née Forsyth (1955, Biology).

Isabel, who died last year, was a noted research scientist in endocrinology and lactation. Janet Vaughan described her

Not a day went by when we didn't find something to laugh about

in 1962 as “an interesting person and one of the outstanding people in her generation in the University.”

All that we know about Mr Leeming, meanwhile, is contained in the note he wrote for an online memorial to his wife. It reads simply, “Not a day went by when we didn’t find something to laugh about.” It is presumably in recognition of this deep love for one another, and Isabel’s deep affection for her College, that this gift was made.

Legacy gifts have played a transformative role throughout the history of our College. Today, we recognise the tremendous significance of planned giving through membership of the Penrose Society. If you would like more information about leaving a gift to Somerville in your will, please contact Becca Coker –rebecca.coker@some.ox.ac.uk
