MIDGLEY, STREET,

T is six years since the last number of the Magazine was issued. Af!er having continued to appear during the first half of the war the Magazine suffered a suspension after 1942, partly through difficulties with regard to paper and printing, but partly due, I must admit, to the not inconsiderable pre-occupation of my time entailed by the formation and charge of the University Naval Division. In making this admission I cannot avoid giving substance to the surmise of those Aularians who in years past may have s uspected that the. Magazine was not the unaided creation of a succession of ard uous editors and their devoted adjutants. I had hoped that with the war ended publication of the Magazine might have been' resumed straight away; but on relinquishing my Naval duties I was soon reluctantly obliged to recognize that I had overtaxed my energies and have consequently been under the necessity of curtailing my activities in many directions. This has been for me a most unhappily novel experience ; and nothing I have regretted more in this connection than this long interruption in the issue of the Magazine; for the enquiries about it that I received during those . silent years have left me in no doubt how much prized by Aularians its annual appearing had become. In reviving the publication of the Magazine it has been thought best to try and recapitulate in this number the academic annals of the Hall and the civilian activities of its members during the intervening years since its last issue, but not to make any attempt to resume in it the martial chronicle. I still hope that there may be compiled a special number of the Maga zine that will comprise the war-time record of all Aularians. who were engaged in military service. The Magazine revived will, I hope, prove as welcome a medium as ever, whereby record of the activities of our beloved Society and of all its members, past and present , is communicated for the information and refreshment of Aularians near an d far.

DE PERSONIS ET REBUS AULARIBUS 1943-1947 OF

THE HALL IN

w AR-TIME

URING the latter half as during the first half of the war the feature of its life from which the Hall drew most satisfaetion was the maintenance of continuity. It was no easy achievement, even though the Hall, unlike most colleges, enjoyed thrqughout the war undisturbed use of its entire buildings. By 1943 its ifiembership began to change with bewildering frequency, as by then the majority of those in residence were Service Probationers whose courses only permitted of them being six months sojourners. Yet, partly owing to the public-spirited efforts of the few who form'ed a more enduring nucleus , partly owing to the determination of the Service .Probationers and of those undergraduates who came up in order to secure one year of residence before t)::ieir call-up, to make the very best of their short stay here, Hall Societies continued to function with commendable regularity, and the Clubs, maintaining their Reginensian alliance, continued to muster their suppporters with undiminished enthusiasm. Aularians on war-service who re-visited Oxford remarked with pleased surprise that the J.C.R., the quadrangle and the dining-hall had all the air of normal termtime . The geraniums, albeit somewhat thinly planted, which reappeared in Trinity Term 1943 in the window-boxes signified a colourful symbol of the Hall'; refusal in fundamental matters of the spirit to compromise with the repressive conditions of war. OF

THE PRINCIPAL AND FELLOWS

During 1943 and 1944 the Principal's duties as Commanding Officer of the University N aval Division regularly withdrew him to his Headquarters down at the River most days each week in term and vacation. Nevertheless he found time to maintain a watchful eye over all departments of the Hall's life. The one moment when his Naval preoccupations caused some little anxiety to Aularians occurred towards the end of August, 1943 when he disappeared from Oxford and it was learned that he was spending a fortnight in a destroyer on patrol in the Bay of Biscay. With the end of the war in sight he resigned his command of the Naval Division in September, 1944 so as to be freer to deal with the resurgence of the Hall, as demobilisation replenished the ranks of its members. He received a handsome letter from Their Lordships in recognition of

his services in connection with the initiation of the University Naval Divisions and the University Short Course Schemes, and in the command of the 0.U.N.D. In 1945 it became evident that the Principal had been overtaxing his energies and he was bidden by his doctors to relinquish some of his commitments. He consequently resigned the chairmanship of the University Appointments Committee and his place on Governing Bodies of Radley College and Cheltenham College. In Trinity Term, 1947, when his third period of office as a member of the Hebdomadal Council came to an end, he did not seek reelection, having served continuously since 1935Âˇ .From 1943 until the end of the war the Vice-Principal continued to take an active part in the organising and week-to-week conduct of the courses arranged by the University for members of the Armed Forces of the United Nations which were housed in Balliol College. In 1944 he was appointed a Select Preacher of the University; and in 1945 Speaker's Lecturer in Biblica l Studies. Th,e Rev. R. F. W. Fletcher was appointed Chairman of the Board of the Faculty of English Language and Literature in 1946. In Michaelmas Term tpat year )le succeeded Mr. G. R. Brewis as Senior Tutor, and in 1947, to lighten his heavy burden of work, he resigned the Assistant Secretaryship of the University D elegacy of Local Âˇ Examinations. H e has been associated with the Delegacy of Local Examinations since 1929, and during the war carried the full administrative responsibility of it on his shoulders during the absence of the Secretary on Government service. The high reputation in which the ' Oxford Locals ' is held among schools, and in education circles generally, owes not a little to the contribution that he made towards its efficient and sympathetic administration. In the summer of 1944 Dr. H. J. Hunt accepted the Chair of French Literature in Holloway College, University of London, and, to the immeasurable regret of his colleagues and pupils in the Hall and the University, took his departure at the end of Trinity Term. Since he came to the H a ll as Tutor in French in 1929 he has built up through his pupils a reputation for the Hall in Modern Languages that is second to none in the University. Moreover, notwithstanding a continuously heavy burden of .teaching, he has found time to carry through a formidable amount of reading and research and to win through his books and articles a very considerable reputation on both sides of the Channel as a historian and critic of French Literature. He is assured of the lasting regard of his colleagues and pupils in the Hall and of their best wishes for himself and his family.

The nocturnal efficiencies of Dr. Irving as Deputy Head Warden of A.R.P. Area A continued to be readily ascertainable knowledge throughout the war: but mystery obscured his diurnal activities. It is now permissible to record that he w as, to begin with, a member of a team under Prof. C. N. Hinshelwood working on activated charcoals and problems of anti-gas warfare; and was latterly engaged on a W.D. problem of preserving the efficiency of signal-flares and photo-flashes during storage under conditions of tropical temperature and humidity. Flight-Lieut. G. D. Ramsay, R.A.F.V.R., was released from the staff of Air Chief Marshal Sir Keith Park in Ceylon on the conclusion of the war with Japan. Difficulties in obfaining a passage held him up in Bombay, but eventually he succeeded in reaching Oxford before the end of Michaelmas Term. He resumed Âˇhis academic labours in earnest with the beginning of Hilary Term, 1946. Mr. Ramsay is to be warmly congratulated on the high praise with which historians have greeted his book The Wiltshire Woollen Industry in the l6th and l7th Centuries, which was published by the Oxford University Press while he was overseas on active senrice. OF

HONORARY FELLOWS

The Bishop of Carlisle was assured of the cordial congratulations of all Aularians when in 1945 the King conferred on him the signal distinction of Companion of Honour. For many years the advice of Bishop \Villiams has been sought on all the major issues Âˇ affecting the relations of Church and State and , the high value set upon it is sufficiently indicated by the conferment of this greatly prized award. In 1946, with the war over, the Bishop decided on grounds of age and health that the time had come for him to resign his charge of the diocese of Carlisle, to which he had been appointed on the conclusion of the previous war . The diocese has never received more devoted or influential leadership and service from any of the bishops who, in the course of eight centuries, have presided over it. After he was translated from the principalship of the Hall to Carlisle there grew up a strong connection between the Hall and a diocese with which the Hall has had connections since the reign of Elizabeth when another Principal of the Hall, H enry R obinson, became Bishop. The many Aularians, clerical and lay, resident in the north-west of England, will know how deeply and widely the departure of Bishop and Mrs. Williams was felt far and wide throughout the diocese. Many, too, will remember the happy reunions that

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE

the Bishop and Mrs. Williams arranged at Rose Castle from time to time for Aularians living in the diocese. The affectionate regard of a ll Aularians who have known them and best wishes for their happiness will continue to attend them in their home at Chester. The cordial congratulations of the H a ll are due to Canon S. L. Ollard on his inception as D.Litt. on June l9th , 1946. In 1943 Dr. J. W. C. Wand, Archbishop of Brisbane since 1934, was appointed Bishop of Bath and Wells. By his energy and pastoral gifts, by his lectures, and by his wise counsel he made his tenure of the archbishopric of Brisbane notable. His Âˇtimely and challenging pamphlet Has Britain let us down? did much in the critical summer of 1942 to fortify loyal opinion in Australia. The see of Bath and Wells proved but a stepping-stone. In 1945 he was translated to London, to fill the vacancy in that most exacting of dioceses created by the promotion of Dr. Fisher t? be Archbishop of Canterbury . It is with feelings of pride and pleasure that Aularians will have welcomed the appointment of the first member of the Hall ever to become Bishop of London . Aularians .who may have heard rumours that in 1944 the Bishop of Dorchester was laid up w ith a very serious illness will be glad indeed to learn that he made an excellent recovery and enjoys once again his enviably robust health. In Hilary Term, 1944 the Principal and Fellows elected the ,R ev. Dr. L. Hodgson, Regius Professor of Divinity and Canon of Christ Church, to be an Honorary Fellow. As Vice-Principal he helped valiant1y to keep the flag of the Hall flying during the difficult years of World War I. vVith the return of peace he was translated to Magdalen and matrimony. In 1925 he was appointed Professor of Apologetic in the General Theological Seminary, New York, and spent six valuable years in the United States, before returning to England as Canon of Winchester. Having steadily built up an important reputation as a theologian, he returned to Oxford in 1938 as Regius Professor of Moral and Pastoral Theology; and in 1944 was translated to the premier chair in the University, that of Regius Professor of Divinity . It should be further recorded that the Germa ns very nearly cut short his career in February, 1945, when he was struck down in London on the occasion of the demolition of the Presbyterian Church House in Bloomsbury by a rocket bomb; but, fortunately, he made good recovery from the serious head-wound that he received.

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE

In Michaelmas Term, 1947 the Principal and Fellows elected Dr. P. A. Scholes, eminent as musical historian and critic, to be an Honorary Fellow. Dr. Scholes graduated from the Hall as B.Mus. in 1908. He proceeded to the degree of Dr. es Lettres at the University of Lausanne in 1934Âˇ In recognition of his distinguished record as an historian of music the University of Oxford conferred upon him the honorary degree of D. Mus. in 1943Âˇ No one has done more than he has to promote the notable revival and diffusion of musical appreciation among English-speaking peoples in recent years. His publish ed works are a monumental testimony to his unbounded energy and scholarly achievement.

OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE HALL

In 1945 Lord Parmoor of Frieth, on ceasing to be Fellow and Bursar of the Queen's College, resigned his appointment as a representative Trustee of the H all. The H a ll has reason to be most grateful to him for the helpfulness that .he has so readily shown in a ll matters concerning the Hall that have come before him as Trustee. In his place the Governing Body of the Queen's College appointed Sir Oliver S. Franks, newly elected Provost of the College. It was with keen regret that the Principal and Trustees were obliged to accept the resignation of the other representative member of their body, Sir Arthur McWatters,: on his retirement from the Secretaryship of the University Chest in 1946. The Curators of the University Chest appointed in his place one of the most experienced of their own number, Mr. P. E. Roberts, Fellow of Worcester College . In the same year the Principal and Trustees elected the Bishop of London as a Trustee. It will be very generally welcomed among Aularians that Dr. Wand is brought into active association with the Hall in this way. In 1947 the Principa l and Trustees were most fortunate in persuading Sir Henry P. Price to become a Trustee of the Hall. There is no leader in British industry who is more respected than Sir H enry Price. He was one of the founders of the Royal Institute of International Affairs. In December, 1946 Sir Frank Newson-Smith, Bart., Hon. D.C.L., who is financial adviser and broker to the University , very kindly acceded to the invitation of the Principal and Trustees to act in the same capacity for the Hall.

THE SENIOR TUTOR

After thirty-six years of whole-hearted service to the Hall, ' the .S enior Tutor, Mr. G. R. Brewis, retired at the end of Trinity Term, 1946. He had grown to he so well-beloved an institution in the Hall that Aularians have found it difficult to believe that even his perenniality as Senior Tutor has had its termination. Undergraduates have never been renowned for the accuracy of their estimation of the ages of their academic seniors, but Aularians may well be pardoned if they have been deceived by the Senior Tutor's cheerful disregard of all aging processes. Appointed a Lecturer of the Hall by Dr. Moore in 1910 and Tutor in 191 l, he became Senior Tutor in 1914. His kindliness, patience and Âˇsureness of judgment as a tutor, the vernal zest with which year after year he delivered his indispensable courses of lectures for Pass Moderations will long be gratefully remembered by many generations of Aularians who sat at his feet, and by a host of other members of the University. In 1913 he took over the Senior Treasurership of the Amalgamated Clubs. Succeeding Captains and Secretaries have been ever sure of his ready counsel and aid. His speeches at J. C.R. Meetings came to be regarded by members of the Hall as classic events. On the field and on the tow-path he was an unfailing supporter. One who has so closely and devotedly identified himself with the life of the Hall and its members over so many years is sure of their unfading regard and affection. At the J.C.R. Meeting at the end of Trinity Term, 1946 he was presented with a silver tankard. on behalf of members of the Junior Common Room. At a Dinner in Hall on December l l, to which former Presidents of the J .C.R. and officers of Clubs were invited, there was presented to him on behalf of the Principal, Fellows and over 540 Aularians a pair of field glasses and the sum of ÂŁ100 in National Defence Bonds. On this occasion he was elected plausu maxima a VicePresident of the Aularian Association.

LECTURERS

In Hilarl'. Term, 1943 Mr. G. A. Kolkhorst, M.A., Exeter College, who over many years has won the gratitude of members of the Hall studying Spanish, was linked more closely to the Hall by appointment as Lecturer in Spanish. Mr. Kolkhorst has been Reader in Spanish to the University since 1931.

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE

On the departure of Dr. H. J. Hunt as Professor of French at Holloway College, Mr. R. C. Johnston, M.A., Merton College, University Lecturer in French Philology and Old French Literature, was appointed in Hilary Term, 1945, Lecturer in French, conjointly with Jesus College. In March, 1945 he was elected a Fellow of Jesus College; but after Trinity Term, 1947, he was translated across the border to the Chair of French in the University of St. Andrews. His place as Lecturer in French was taken by Mr . J. S. Haszard, M.A., Oriel College, who was appointed Lecturer of the Hall, conjointly with University College, in Michaelmas Term, 1947Âˇ Mr. Haszard had the same year distinguished himself by winning two University awards, being elected Korda Post-graduate Scholar and Zaharoff Travelling Scholar, but for family reasons had been unable to take advantage of them. In Michaelmas Term, 1945, the Hall signified its growing interest in the young Honour School of Geography by appointing Mr. C. F . W. R. Gullick, B.Litt., M .A. , Queen's College, University Lecturer in Economic Geography, as a Lecturer of the Hall. The promin~nce of the study of Modern Languages in the Hall was further marked by the appointment of Mr. H. G. Barnes, M .A., Magdalen, University Lecturer in German, to be a Lecturer of the Hall in that subj ect. Mr. Barnes, after being awarded a Laming Travelling Fellowship at Queen's College, obtained the degree of Ph.D. at the University of Tiibingen. The increasing concern of the Hall with 'Modern Greats ' was marked by the appointment of M~. P. M. Williams, M .A., Trinity College, to be Lecturer in Politics, conjointly with Trinity College, in Michaelmas Term, 1946, and of Mr. P. W. Henderson, B.A., Corpus Christi College, Research Assistant of the University Institute of Statistics, to be Lecturer in Economics in Hilary Term, both for an initial period of two years.

To reinforce tutorial provision for the English School, for many years one of the Honour Schools chiefly favoured by members of the Hall, Mr. E. J . Dobson, M.A., Merton College, Reader in English in the University of Reading, was appointed as Lecturer of the Hall in English Language, conjointly with Jesus College, for five years. During the absence of Mr . G. D . Ramsay on War Service the Hall was fortunate indeed to be able to enlist the services of the .Rev. Professor Norman Sykes, who was in exile in Oxford with Westfield College, and, after Dr. Sykes's appointment to the Dixie

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE

Chair of Ecclesiastical History at Cambridge in 1944, of the Rev. R. Trevor Davies, Tutor of St. Catherine's Society, as Lecturer in History. Over a period of some years, members of the Hall reading the English School have appreciated greatly the tutoring that they received from Mrs. W. H. B. Somerset. It was with keen regret that the Hall lost her services at the end of Trinity Term, 1945, when she and her husband left Oxford for Dorset. She has made the Hall her permanent debtor by the s ubstantial gift of books dealing with English Language and Literature and other subjects that she h_as generously presented to the H all Library.

Houlden, Altrincham County School. J. L. Houlden dedined the award as he was unwilling to postpone entry upon residence until after the completion of his National Service. In 1946 it was decided, owing to the poor standard reached by the classical candidates for some years, to discontinue offering

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE

an award in that subject and instead to offer an Open Exhibition for Geography. An Exhibition was held in Hilary Term, 1947, for the purpose of awarding an Exhibition in English Literature and two ~xhibitions in Modern Languages, each of the value of £40. Owing to the· unprecedented number of candidates entering for this Examination, the papers had to be sent to the schools of the candidates to be worked and only those who did promising work in the Examination were required to come up for viva voce Examination. There were in all 93 candidates (31 for English Literature; 62 for Modern Languages). As a result of the Examination the following elections were made: B. J. Wicker, Wallington Grammar School (English). D. A. Singleton, King James's Grammar School, Almondbury (Modern Languages). A. C. Whitby, Bristol Grammar School (Modern Languages) .

Candlin, who was placed in the First Class in Honour Moderations in Natural Science, was made .an honorary Exhibitioner.

THE MASONIC BUILDINGS

The Masonic Buildings, which were used as a barracks for the R.A.M.C. in connection with the General Military Hospital that occupied the Examination Schools, were derequisitioned in July, 1946, and were let to Mr. R. A. Burton, of Burton's Dairies, Headington, on a ten year lease, for the purpose of a Restaurant, and were opened by him at the beginning of Michaelmas Term, as the Forum Restaurant. Unfortunately there is no possibility of the Hall being able to convert these premises to its own use, so long as the Albert and the Bertie Masonic Lodges enjoy the ·subleases, entitling them to a periodic use of the premises, which are co-terminous with the head lease, and which, unless they are surrendered in the meantime, will run until A.D. 2005.

ST. EBMUND HALL :MAGAZINE

OF DR. KE ENE's BENEFACTION

Under his will the R ev . Dr. A. C. Keene bequeathed to the Hall in 1944 the residue of his estate, subject to the life interest of his sister, for the establishment of a Fund, for the provision of Scholarships, to be known as the Dr. K eene Scholarships, the holders of which must be members of the Church of England. His sister, Mrs. M. E. Turner, died the same year, and there has passed to the Hall a sum of about £6,ooo. This is a most generous and welcome benefaction: it consummates the life-long interest and regard that Dr. Keene has shown for the Hall. An obituary of Dr. Keene will be found later in the i\iagazine.

OF THE

MILLINGTON SING BENEFACTION

During the years between the two Wars a steady stream of boys from St. Edward's School has entered the Hall. This growing connection which has been welcomed by the Hall was strengthened in 1939 when the Principal, who has been Chairman of the Governing Body of the School for some years, instituted a St. Edward's School Bursary Fund for the benefit of boys coming from the School to the Hall. Further confirmation of this connection was given in 1947 when a former Warden of St. Edward's School, Mr. J. Millington Sing, J.P ., M.A., under his will bequeathed a sum of £1,000 to form the nucleus of a Fund for Scholarships and Exhibitions tenable at the Hall by boys from St. Edward's School who are either sons of clergymen of the Church of England or themselves intending to take Holy Orders in the Church of England. This fund will be supplemented at a later date by the reversion to the Hall of further sums of money on the expiry of certain life interests. Mr. Sing made a similar bequest under his will to his own old College, Christ's College, Cambridge. This new link with St. Edward's School which Mr. Sing's generous benefaction has formed is much appreciated.

OF THE ARCHBISHOP SECKER EXHIBITION

In 1924 the Rev. G. C. Gawthern, M.A., who died in the following year, gave the Hall securities to the value of £1,700, subject to his and his wife's life interests, for the formation of an E xhibition Fund in commemoration of his ancestor, Dr. Thomas Secker, Archbishop of Canterbury (1693-1768). With the death of Mrs. Gawthern in June, 1944, the Archbishop Secker Exhibition

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE

Fund becomes operative and will provide an Exhibition of the annual value of £40. The portrait of Archbishop Secker, given to the Hall by Mr. Gawthern, which hangs in the dining-hall, is the work of Sir Joshua Reynolds, as is the similar portrait in Lambeth Palace. In a private account book of the Archbishop, now preserved in Lambeth Palace Library, there is an entry: l 764. Oct. l : To Mr. Reynolds for my picture .. . £52 10 o For a frame to it 4 14 6 It is not known to which of the two pictures this entry refers.

OF A BEQUEST

Dr. W. Ludford Freeman, for many years Director of Education for Bristol, who died in 1942 , bequeathed to the Hall the sum of £50 contingent upon his wife predeceasing him. Mrs. Freeman has very generously made a gift of this sum to the Hall in fulfilment of her husband's intention. Dr. Freeman expressed the wish that the sum should be laid out in the purchase of silver tankards for 'use in the dining-hall.

OF A MEMORIAL GIFT OF BOOKS

We gratefully record the gift of about sixty books, mostly the works of Greek and Latin authors, belonging to Lieut. Harold Eyre (A), R.N.V.R., who was killed serving in the Fleet Air Arm on 26 February, 1943 , which have been presented to the Libra ry by his guardian, Mr. Dryden Brook. The gift includes a copy of the Golden Cockerel Press edition of Milton 's Paradise

Lost. OF THE CHAPEL

The Vice-Principal presented in 1946 two handsome prayerbooks bound in green morocco for use in the Principal's and Viceprincipal' s stalls in Chapel to take the place of books that had had a century of use.

OF THE NEW LIBRARY

The best thanks of the Hall are due to the following donors for gifts that they have made to the H all for the benefit of the Library:

ST. EDMUND HALL :MAGAZINE

To Mrs. W . H. B. Somerset for her gift of books, of which m ention has already been made. To Mr. and Mrs. H. Hayes for their yearly gift of the sum of ÂŁ5 for the purchase of classical books in memory of their son, Henry Trevor Hayes. To Mr. W. G. Urry for a gift of two guineas.

OF ST. EDMUND's . DAY

Notwithstanding the war, St. Edmund's Day has continued to be duly observed in Hall each year, albeit with the menu on these occasions conformative to the austerity of the times, and, indeed, in stricter keeping with our Patron's own even more austere standards of diet. Especially memorable was the Dinner in Hall held on St. Edmund's Day, 1943, when the guests included the Bishop of Carlisle, the Bishop of Dorchester, Dr. Hodgson and the Right Worshipful the Mayor of Oxford, Mr. H. C. Ingle. The Mayor was fittingly garbed in the chain and robes attaching to his Âˇoffice. In the course of his speech the Principal extended a particularly cordial welcome to him as the first Aularian to have occupied that historic office. The Mayor replied in a speech full of humour and affectionate reminiscence.

OF ST. PETER'S-IN-THE-EAST

Our parish church of St. Peter's-in-the-East has intimate associations with the Hall which go back to the day of St . Edmund himself. There is substantial reason for believing that the Lady Chapel on the north side of the church is the actual chapel that St. Edmund of Abingdon is known to have had built in honour of our Lady for the church of the parish in which he resided in Oxford and to have paid for out of his lecture fees. In medieval times the Halls did not possess chapels of their own, but their members were expected to attend regularly the services of their respective parish churches. For well over four hundred years, therefore, members of the Hall resorted to St. Peter's-in-theEast for worship, until in 1682 our present chapel was built. Many Aularians must lie buried in St. Peter's church-yard, most notable among them, perhaps, is Thomas Hearne whose grave-slab lies nea r the south-eastern corner of the chun;:h. The advowson of the church, formerly owned by the King, was granted to Merton College on its foundation, and through the

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE

centuries there has been a succession of Merton men appointed as Vicars. But notwithstanding this long connection, Sir John Miles, Warden of Merton until January, 1947, cherished the feeling that St. Edmund Hall on historical and geographical grounds should be brought once more into association with the church . It was arranged, therefore, that on the retirement of the Rev. J. H. Wooster in 1947, the Principal should nominate to the Warden and Fellows of Merton an Aularian for presentation to the Bishop of Oxford as Vicar, who should at the same time serve as Assistant Chaplain of the Hall. Consequent on this arrangement the Principal nominated the Rev. T. Dyson, B.D. (London), B.A. (Manchester), then in residence as a member of the Hall, and he was duly instituted on 30 July. Mr. Dyson was assistant curate at St. Anselm's, Kensington Cross, S.E., from r940 to 1943, when he was commissioned as a temporary Chaplain, R.N.V.R. Between 1943 and 1946, as a Naval Chaplain, he ranged from Iceland to Hong Kong. It is to be hoped that this new link between the Hall and St. Peter's-in-the-East which has been made possible through the great considerateness of Sir John Miles and his College may endure and prove fruitful in new associations of mutual benefit to the Hall and to the parish.

OF THE CLERK OF ACCOUNTS

At the end of Trinity Term, 1947, Mr. A. B. Ratsey who had reached and surpassed the normal age of retirement lay down his office as Clerk of Accounts. Unfortunately, during the concluding weeks of his employ he was knocked off his bicycle by the careless driver of a car and seriously injured. In consequence of this accident his eyesight, which had been troubling him for some time, was impaired. Originally Bursary Clerk at Queen's, he came to the Hall Bursary in 1929 on a part-time arrangement with his College: but subsequently, as the bursary work in the Hall grew, he was released from Queen's and free to devote his generous energies to the Hall. Aularians will bear in grateful recollection his unfailing readiness and industry. Nothing was too much trouble for him. On the occasion of the Reun.ion a presentation of a cheque for ÂŁso was made to him on behalf of the Aularian Association. He had become so much an ' institution ' for many members of the H all,

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE

that he is sure of a full measure of Aularian good wishes for his happiness and better health in his retirement at Southsea. Mr. R. S. Grey, znd Bursary Clerk at Trinity College, has been appointed to succeed him.

OF A HALL DANCE A most successful Hall Dance took place m the Forum Restaurant on the night of I9 June, I947. I30 double tickets 'w ere taken up. The ,Quadrangles of the Hall were effectively illuminated, and communication with the scene of the dance was secured by means of the door in No. 46 High Street being kept open. The President, R. P. H. Davies, and the members of the Dance Committee are to be warmly congratulated on their admirable organisation of a memorably enjoyable occasion-the first dance to be given in the annals of the Hall.

OF A SILVER TANKARD The finances of the Hall Dance were so skilfully managed that the ].C.R. was able to indulge the happy notion of presenting to the Hall a silver tankard to commemorate the unprecedented event of two members of the Hall being Captains of University Clubs in one year, C. J. Weir, Captain of the O.U.A.F.C., and R. Mclsaac, Captain of the 0. U. H. C. The tankard bears the following inscription, composed by the Vice-Principal:

In honorem Aularium fortissimorum Regis Melsaae nee non Colini Weir qui ambo eodem anno eatervis Oxoniensium hie pedibus ille baeulis pilam pulsantium insigniter pmefuerunt d.d. Aulae Sancti Edmundi eommen5ales Term. Mieh. MCMXL VII

OF GATE FINES Why are gate fines? An adequate answer to this question would lead back to the days when the statute-makers of medieval colleges and halls framed their regulations concerning nightly hours of closing. In the days of peren.nially unlighted streets and lanes noetivagatio had to be made ap expensive pastime by academic

ST. EDMUND HALL :MAGAZINE

authority. But the penal element in gate fines has long evaporated and they h ave come to be regarded as a rather irrational charge m ade by colleges in support of the porter's stipend . In 1943 it was decided that members of the H a ll should be free henceforward from this ancient exaction. OF

ScoNcEs

The War has been responsible for the suspension of another ancient imposition, that of sconcing, as the necessary beverage has been in strictly limited supply. No consequent deterioration in the standards of table-talk has been so far detected.

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE

THE PRINCIPAL AND FELLOWS

At the end of the second week of Trinity Term the Principal, under pressure from his doctor, handed over the reins to the VicePrincipal and remained out of harness until the beginning of October. If not completely recovered .in health, he has returned definitely better for this interval of rest. The Vice-Principal is to' be warmly congratulated on being made a Canon of Chichester and Prebendary of Wightring. The duties ' attaching to his canonry are not unduly arduous: they consist of one week of residence each year and the superintendence of courses of theological lectures to be organised in the diocese. The Vice-Principal and the Fellows of the Hall have created this year what is probably a University record, as all of them have, in the course of the year, been examiners in Final Honour Schools: the Vice-Principal in Theology, the Senior Tutor in English Language and Literature, Dr. Irving in Chemistry, and Mr. Ramsay in Modern History. OF

THE HONORARY FELLOWS

All Aularians who know of the very great services that Dr. S. L. Ollard rendered the Hall during his Vice-Principalship will learn with keen regret that he has felt obliged this autumn, for reasons of health, to resign hjs canonry of St: George's, Windsor. In view of the necessity for this decision he is the more warmly to be congratulated on having been able to complete his part in the laborious work of preparing a new edition of the Dictionary of English Church History, an indispensable work of reference which he first edited, assisted by Mr. G. Crosse, in 1912. He is assured of the affectionate wishes of Aularians for his happiness and better health in his retirement. In the year of the Lambeth Congress a timely volume of essays by various writers, entitled The Anglican Communion: A Survey, has been issued by the Oxford University Press, under the editorship of the Bishop of London, who has also contributed a final chapter to it by way of summary and conclusion. The indefatigability of Dr. Wand is becoming a bye-word. Both the Bishop of London and the Bishop of Dorchester have been arduously engaged this summer in the deliberations and committee-work of the Lambeth Conference, but have emerged with energies unabated.

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE

Dr. P. A. Scholes has been for many years at work on a detailed study of the life and times of the eminent musician and historian Dr. Burney. The two handsome volumes under the title The Great Dr. Burney, published this summer by the Clarendon Press, have been greeted with plaudits on every hand. May an Aularian bouquet be added to the many that he has already received. OF THE TRUSTEES

Sir Oliver S . Franks has had to relinquish the provostship of the Queen's College, and, consequently, his appointment as a representative Trustee of the Hall, on taking up his very important duties as British Ambassador to 路 the United States of America. He is assured of the cordial good wishes of the Hall for his embassage. The Governing Body of the Queen's College have appointed in his place Dr. G . E . F . Chilver, Fellow and Tutor of the College. OF A CHAPLAIN AND LECTURER

In Michaelmas Term the Rev . J. McManners, M.A., entered on residence as Chaplain of the Hall and Lecturer in History and Politics. He entered . the Hall as an Open Exhibitioner in Modern History in 1935 and obtained a ' First ; in 1939路 On the outbreak of war he joined the lSt Bn. Northumberland Fusiliers, was subsequently promoted Major, and, in the course of his attachment to G.H.Q., Middle East Forces, was particularly concerned for liaison duties with the Greek forces in North Africa . On his release from the Army he entered St. Chad 's College, Durham, in preparation for Holy Orders, and after ordination spent a year as a 路 curate of Leeds P a rish Church . His return to the Hall as a member of Senior Common Room is most welcome. Unhappily his effort to re-assert his prowess in the football field was sadly curtailed early in term by an injury to his knee which necessitated the temporary encasem ent of his leg in plaster. It is to be hoped that he will meet .with kindlier fortune when the lawn-tennis season re-opens. He is to be warmly congratulated on being made an Officer of the Royal Order of King George I by the King of the Hellenes in recognition of his services to the Greek forces during the War.

OF LECTURERS

At the end 路of Trinity Term Mr. J. S. Haszard relinquished his lecturership in French, as he found himself free to avail himself of the two Travelling Scholarships that he had been awarded the year

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE

before. In his place Mr. J. H. Brumfitt, M.A., Laming F e llow of the Queen 's College, has been appointed for an initial period of one year. Mr. C. Grayson, M.A., University Lecturer in Italian, was appointed Lecturer of the H all in Italian in Trinity Term. It is particularly gratifying to record this, the third, appointment of an Aularian, as a Lecturer of the Hall.

OF HIGHER DEGREES

H. L. Da Costa, M.A., having submitted a thesis on 'Constitutional Experiments in Jamaica', for the degree of B.Litt., satisfied the Examiners appointed by the Board of the Faculty of Law.

OF SENIOR EXHIBITIONERS

At the beginning of Hilary Term E. G. Midgley and A. Westaway were appointed honora ry Senior Exhibitioners of the Hall, both of them having obtained First Classes in Final Honour Schools in the December E xamination, 1947Âˇ

OF EXHIBITIONS

As a result of the Open Exhibition Examinations, held in March, the following elections were made : A. A. Dudman, Highgate School (English Literature). J. A. Hicklin, Bemrose Grammar School, D erby (Modern Languages). J. R. Allchurch, The King's School, Canterbury (Modern History). J . D. Hanson, Huddersfield College (Modern History).

As a result of an Open Organ Exhibition, held in December, the following election was made : A. B. Curry, The King's School, Canterbury. Exhibition Examinations in 1949 have been arranged as follows. On Monday 28 February and two following days an examination will be held for the purpose of awarding one E xhibition in English Literature and two Exhibitions in Modern Languages (French with one other Language, German, Spanish or Russian; or French only), each of the annual value of ÂŁ40. The

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE

papers will be worked at the candidate's schools and a number of selected candidates will be summoned to attend a viva voce Examination at the Hall on Thursday 17 March. On Tuesday 22 March and two following days an examination will be held for the purpose of awarding three Exhibitions in History, Social Studies, or Geography, each of the annual value of ÂŁ40. This is the first time that the Hall has offered an Exhibition in ' Mod~rn Greats '.

OF THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION

In order to increase the facilities for young men and women wishing to enter the older Universities the Ministry of Education has decided to supplement all open awards of the annual value of ÂŁ40 that are offered by Oxford and Cambridge colleges by a grant in respect of each award that will bring it, if required, up to the maximum value of a State Scholarship. This very welcome decision on the part of the Ministry has the effect of raising the value of the modest Exhibitions offered by the Hall to an equivalence with the largest of open scholarships .

DE MINUTIIS

There have been handed over for safe deposit in the Hall archives several former Suggestion-books of the J .C.R. and a Minute-book of the Essay Society, 1943-8. Officers of Hall Clubs a nd Societies are reminded that an honourable resting-place is available in the Hall archives for all their books of record when they are completed and that by so doing they are providing the Hall historians of the future with ' MS. sources ' of value.

OF THE NEW LIBRARY

The best thanks of the Hall are due to the following donors for gifts that they have made for the benefit of the Library: To Mr. C. F. W. R. Gullick for a gift of ÂŁ5 for the purchase of books on geography. To Mr. A. F. Colborn for the gift of a most useful set of the works of leading German authors.

OF ' FIRST

w ORDS

)

Issued first in 1935 and again in 1936, First Words, a miscellany of prose and verse confected by members of the Makers, has this year made its third appearance . The editor, D. J. R. Thomas, and his collaborators have earned handsomely the gratitude and appreciation of Aularians, for this miscellany of new writing gives distinguished testimony to the ability of the Makers to make. On this occasion First Words is sponsored by a foreword from the pen 1 of the foster-father of the Society, Geoffrey Grigson . Over 450 copies have been sold.

OF A HALL DANCE

Consequent on the success of the Dance held in Trinity Term, 1947, another Hall Dance was arranged this year, and took place in the Forum Restaurant on the night of 17-18 June, and proved a no less enjoyable event. F . W. Cosstick, President of tl).e Dance Committee, and his colleagues merit the warm thanks of all participants for their skilful management.

OF THE NEW LIBRARY

Albert Baxter has been appointed Junior Librarian.

Any Old Members who would like to play should send their names with particulars of their tennis record to Mr. Clifford Lummis, 25 Sandy Lodge Way, Northwood, Middlesex.

THE REUNION 1947 The Eighteenth Reunion of Old Members, and the first since 1939, was held on Thursday, 26 June, 1947· The Executive Committee of the Aularian Association met in the Principal's Lodgings and found so much to discuss that the meeting overlapped with Evensong and very nearly overlapped with dinner. There sat down to dinner: The Rev. Dr. L. Hodgson, Mr. G. R. Brewis, the Rev. Canon F. McGowan, Mr. J. J. G. Walkinton, Mr. C. Lummis , the Rev. C. Pi.. Plaxton, Mr. ]. B. Allan, Mr. L. W..

The Manciple certainly did his best to enable those present to recapt ure the pre-war atmosphere, but the supreme pleasure of the evening came when the Principal rose to propose the toast Floreat A ula. The fortunes of the Hall in war-time, the sacrifices of its members, and the high hopes for the future, were the themes of the Principal. The gratitude and thankfulness of old members for the good fortunes of the Hall were expressed feelingly in the applause which followed the Principal's speech. )'he Annual General Meeting of the Association followed the Reunion Dinner. A presentation was made to Mr. Ratsey on his retirement. The Association agreed to bear part of the cost of sending the Eight to H enley. The Executive Committee was strengthened by the addition of Messrs. H.J. T. Day, C. Lummis, C. Broadhead and J. G. F . Brain. There was a long preliminary discussion on the War Memorial Appeal. It was agreed that the names of the fallen should be inscribed on a panel in the antechapel. It was left to the Executive Committee to examine the many and fruitful suggestions put forward. L.vV.H.

THE REUNION 1948 The Nineteenth Reunion of Old Members was held on Thursday, June 24, 1948. The Executive Committee of the Aularian Association met in the Vice-Principal's rooms. After Evensong in Chapel dinner was served in Hall. were present:

There

The Right Rev. the Bishop of Dorchester, Canon L. Hodgson, Mr. G. R. Brewis, Canon T. G. Le Mesurier, The Rev. C. E. Burkitt, the Rev. R. Shepheard, the Right Rev. the Bishop of Shrewsbury, Maj.-Gen.

Pusey, Mr. C. J. Hayes, Rev. J. S. Reynolds, Mr. G. J. F. Brain, Mr. T. M. Schuller. The toast of Floreat Aula was proposed by the Vice-Principal, Âˇ who conjured achievements out of the Aularian hat with the greatest assurance and dexterity, much to the delight and admiration of his audience. Naturally the thoughts of all were wit.h the Principal in his enforced absence through illness, and the first official act of the General Meeting of the Aularian Association was to dispatch a message wishing him a speedy recovery. For the rest. the Association was in part concerned with finance and looked about for economies. It doubted whether it could afford an annual Directory, but fervently hoped for an early magazine. It agreed to help to send the Eight to Henley, but hoped to see the accounts. It determined to revive the London dinner. Various suggestions were put forward for the War Memorial appeal. L.W.H.

THE OLD LIBRARY

R. S. L. OLLARD (Vice-Principal 1903-13), Honorary Fellow of the Hall, has confided to the keeping of the Hall Library a copy of Bishop Richard Rawlinson's Apographa Consecrationum, a very rare publication concerning the later Non-juror Bishops. It comprises a set of the engraved copies of their deeds of consecration which Rawlinson (1690-1755), had made. Dr. Ollard's copy may be said to be complete, as it contains the introductory account of the New Consecrations, which Bishop Hickes wrote in 1693, and also copies of all the Consecrations in the regular line to that of Thomas Brett in 1727 1 â&#x20AC;˘ Together with it he has also given a single off-print of the consecration deed of Henry Doughty. It is particularly appropriate that this volume should find a home. in the Hall Library. In the first place, it will be welcome as a valued memento of its donor, who has made the life and times of the Non-Jurors one of his special studies. And further it evokes memories of Thomas Hearne and his friendship with Richard Rawlinson, its author. The Library has also acquired a small collection of MS. letters formerly belonging to Edward Heath, a Rutland squire. The 1

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE

letters are of particular Aularian interest as they are concerned with Thomas Tullie (Principal, 1658-75). It appears from the correspondence that Edward Heath in 1657 had offered a certain living to Thomas Barlow, Provost of Queen's, subsequently Bishop of Lincoln, and that Barlow had declined the offer but had commended to Heath instead ' one Mr. Tully, Batchelor of Divinity, and yet fellow of our Coll.' Barlow tells Heath that Tully ' had lately a liveinge given of about 160 li. per annum, pass'd the Triers, and was about 3 months agoe inducted,' but goes on to explain that Tully was not finding this living ' very gratefull to him,' as there were 'some turbulent Anabaptists in the Parish.' Then follows a letter from John Heath to Edward Heath in which he says that he does not know Tullie personally, but learns that 'he .hath for many yeeres bene reputed an excellent scholler and a sober, pious man; very well principled, having upon occasion, in St. Maries and in other publike places, shewed himselfe a true sonne of our church, without any alteration.' On the strength of these commendations Barlow was evidently authorised by Edward Heath to sound Tullie; and on 28 July, 1658, Tullie himself writes to Heath expressing ' the sense of the honour you have done me, as far above the pitch of my merit,' explaining the difficulty he is in through being 'alreadie engag'd in another place, where .though I have no great encouragement to stay, I cannot yet resolve to leave it,' and intimating that after the harvest is over he 'might probablie be more positive.' It may be concluded that Tullie eventually declined the offer, as he became Principal of the Hall that same year. There have also been added to the Library two Lewis Carroll items of Aularian interest. The one is the copy of The Game of Logic (1887 edition, complete with counters) that Lewis Carroll (the Rev. C. L. Dodgson) presented to H. P. Liddon (VicePrincipal, 1859-62): the front page bears 'an inscription in Dodgson's hand-' H.P. Liddon with the Author's affectionate regards, Mar. '87.' The other is one of the 66 copies of a Tour in 1867, by C. L. Dodgson, Ch. Ch., Oxford, that was privately printed in Philadelphia in 1928 from the MS. diary in the collection of Mr. M. L. Parrish, Pine Valley, New Jersey. It contains a very entertaining account of a Long Vacation holiday that Dodgson spent, in company with Liddon, visiting Belgium, Germany, Russia and Poland. A.B.E.

THE ENDOWMENT FUND Notwithstanding the war and the uneasy years that have ensued since it ended, the Hall Endowment Fund, which was instituted in 1939 and the Appeal for which was cut short by the outbreak of hostilities, has continued to receive substantial support from many Aularians. The times are. not propitious for a renewal of an Appeal ad urbem et orbem. But I feel confident that if all Aularians will conspire to make such annual contribution as they .can afford, the Hall will eventually succeed in securing that measure of endowment that it needs if it is to maintain the conspicuous position that it has won for itself m a University composed preponderantly of endowed colleges. Even though the contributions be small in amount, let them be millenary in number, for old members of the Hall are now to be numbered by the thousand. A.B.E.

OBITUARY ERNEST NATHANIEL BENNETT Sir Ernest Nathaniel Bennett, Kt., formerly Vice-Principal of the Hall, died on 2 February, 1947 at Chart Sutton, Maidstone, aged 78. Son of the Rev. George Bennett, h~ was born in Colombo . In 1885 he came up from Durham School to Wadham, migrated to Hertford on winning a scholarship at the latter College. His academic career was marked with distinction: he obtained firsts in Hon. Classical Moderations, in Literae Humaniores, and in Theology, and in 1890 was awarded the Senior Hall-Houghton Greek Testament Prize. On taking his degree he was elected a Fellow of his College. Two years later at the invitation of Dr. Moore he came to the Hall as Vice-Principal. But he did not find that the academic life gave him scope enough, and in I895 he resigned the Vice-Principalship. In after-life he looked back with pleasure on the happy days he herd spent within the Hall, although he admitted with characteristic humour, in the course of a speech that he made at dinner in Hall on St. Edmund's Day, I932, that while the Principal, a Dante scholar of European reputation, was absorbed in studying the poet's Inferno, he was sometimes called upon to deal with an inferno nearer home! But Oxford's infernos were amiable little frolics as compared with those which he was drawn to witness in the Near East and in Africa as a war correspondent during the Cretan insurrection of I897 and the Omdurman campaign in the following year . On the outbreak of war in South Africa he went out with the Volunteer Ambulance Corps, and in I902 commanded the Oxfordshire Volunteers in Orange River Colony. He was indefatigably exploratory. Immediately on leaving the Hall he had joined in an expedition to the rocky African island of

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE

Sokotra. Throughou t his life he was a judicious investigator of ghostly apparitions. In 1906 his venturesomeness carried him into politics as Liberal member for Woodstock: Âˇ he was Parliamentary Private Secretary to Lord Strachie, Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries; but in 191 I on war breaking out again in t he Mediterranean he joined the Ottoman Army in Tripoli and in the following year was Press censor on the Turkish staff in Thrace. During the war of 1914-18 he engaged in a succession of important duties, first as British Red Cross Commissioner in Belgium , France and Serbia; and was later attached to H.Q. Staff of the I 1th (Reserve) Infantry Brigade, to the Inte lligence Division of the Admiralty, and finally to H.Q. IX Army Corps, B.E.F. Adventurous again on the return of peace, he was one of the first Oxford ex-M.P.s to join the Labour Party. After contesting several seats, he was successful in being returned for Central Cardiff and in re-entering Parliament in 192I. He w as knighted in 1930. With the formation of the National Government in 1931 he decided to support Mr. Macdonald, and at the election, as a member of the National Labour Party, retained his seat in a straight fight with the Labour Party candidate by over 13,000 votes. In 1932 he went to India as a member of the Indian Franchise Committee. In October the same year he was appointed Assistant PostmasterGeneral, and held this office until 1935. He resigned his seat in Parliament on reaching the age of 75. As befitted a layman with a 'first' in Theology, he took an active interest in Chl;lrch affairs; he was on the Governing Body of the Church of \!Vales, and was a member of the Archbishops' Committee on Church and State. He was a most entertaining talker and could write no less interestingly. There was a spice of the Elizabethan in him, and of the knight errant too : the battlefield stimulated him whether in war, in politics, or in social service. A.B.E. KENNETH MAULE FFINCH The Rev. Kenneth Maule Ffinch, M.A., died on 17 January, 1945, aged 79. Eldest son of the Rev. M . Ffinch, he entered the Hall in Michaelmas Term, 1883, and graduated in January, 1887. After ordination in 1888 he served as curate at St. John the Evangelist, East Dulwich, and two years later moved to St. John the Divine, Chatham. In 1897 he was appointed Curate of Stone, near Greenhithe, arid- Chaplain of the Joyce Âˇ Green Hospital and

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE

Gore Farm Hospital. Five years later he accepted the benefice of Nurstead-with-Ifreld, near Gravesend. After a long incumbency of 26 years, he retired in 1938 and went to live at Westgate-on-Sea. While at Ifield R ectory he interested himself greatly in the history of his parish, and by his sympathy and warm -heartedness endeared himself to his country parishio'n ers. His love for the H a ll was constant, and he was unfailing in his attendance at annual gatherings of old Members. The two silver candlesticks which he presented to the Hall remain as a token of his life-long affection for it. A.B.E. HENRY NOWELL FFARINGTON Henry Nowell ffarington, M .A. , F.R. Met. Soc., of Worden Hall, Leyland, Lancashire, died on 3 l May, 1948, aged 59. Mr. ffarington's family has been associated with North Lancashire as landowners since Saxon times. He entered the Hall in Hilary Term, 1889, and after his graduation in 1895 occupied himself with the care of his family estates. He maintained most loyally his warm · regard for the Hall and its activities, following with particular relish the upward trend of the Boat-club, and came south regularly each year to take part in the reunion of old Members. I11 1931 he gave practica l expression to his feelings for the Hall by the generous gift of £1 ,ooo for the establishment of the Open Exhibition which now bears his name. A.B.E . CHARLES WILTON FISHER The Rev. Charles Wilton Fisher, M.A., died on 6 October, 1946. He entered the Hall from Haberdashers' School, H a mpstead, in Michaelmas Term, 1890. After graduating with a 3rd in the Honour School of Theology in 1893, he was ordained deacon in 1894 and appointed curate of Westcott, Surrey. In 1897 he went as curate to St. Giles, Camberwell, and three years later to Windsor. He was appointed Vicar of Brixton in 1916. H e moved to the Oxford diocese in 1918 and was for sixteen years Rector of Grove and Vicar of \~ling, Bucks., and from 1932 until his death Rector of East Hendred, Berks . He maintained a keen interest in the activities of the H a ll and regularly attended the summer R eunion. A.B .E. ERNEST EDWARD CRAWFORD The Rev. Canon Ernest Edward Crawford, .M.A ., died on 23 August, 1945· He entered the Hall in Michaelmas Term, 1891 and obtained a good 2nd in the Honour School of Modern History ,i n 1895. He was ordained deacon from St. Stephen's House in the

ST. EDMUND H ALL MAGAZINE

same year to a curacy at St. Paul's, Deptford. In 1899 he moved to St. Peter's, Roches ter , as curate-in-charge of St. Andrew's, D elce. He was appointed Vicar of Halling, Kent, in 1904, and six years later, Vicar of St. Nicholas , Plumstead. He moved to Wandsworth Common in 1924 a s Vicar of St. Mary Magdalen, where he remained until his death. He was made an Honorary Canon of Southwark in 1938. A .B.E. ARTHUR CHARLES KEENE The Rev . Arthur Charles Keene, D.D., Vicar of Honiton Clyst, D evon, died on 3 July , 1944 , at the age of 71. He entered the H a ll in Michaelmas Term, 1895, an d graduated three years later. On being ordained deacon in 1899 he was appointed to a curacy at St. Barnabas, Dulwich. In 1905 he became a ~ember of the College of St. Saviour, Southwark, and, at the same time Clerk in Orders in Manchester Cathedral. He resi ~ned both these appointments in 1910 on becoming Rector of Moston, Manchester. In 1922 he came South to the rectory of Huntsham, Devon, and was Rural Dean of Cullompton during the last two years of his incumbency there. - He moved to Honiton Clyst in 1931, where he ~as Rector un til his death. From his undergraduate days he was an ardent lover of music and built up an interesting music library, notable for its collection of hymn book~. This he bequeathed to the Henry Watson Musical Library, belonging to the City of Manchester. A regular visitor to the Hall for the annual Reunion, he was always glad on these occasions to function as organist in chapel. He has given permanent evidence of his constant affection for the Hall, as has been recorded earlier in the Magazine, by a very generous benefaction. A.B.E. HARRY WILLIAM THORNE The Rev. Canon Harry W illiam Thorne, M .A., Rector of Leybourne, died on 4 October, 1948, aged 69 . He came up to the H a ll from Sandwich School in Michaelmas Term, 1899. After obtaining a 2nd in the Honour School of Theology in 1902, he went on to the Bishop's Hostel, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and was ordained deacon the following year to a curacy at St. Mary's, Blyth, Northumberland. In 1906 he became Sub-Warden of the Church Training College for Lay Workers, and, three years later, Diocesan Inspector of Schools in the Stafford and Stoke archdeaconries of the diocese of Lichfield. From 1917 to 1918 he served as a Temporary Chaplain to the Forces. At the end of the First World War

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE

he was appointed Vicar of Worsley-with-Ellenbrooke, Lanes. In 1929 he took up once again work in religious education as Director for the diocese of Rochester, and from 1933 combined with this appointment charge of the parish of Leybourne, West Malling. He was made an Honorary Canon of Rochester in 1938. He came up year by year to the Hall on the occasion of the Reunion and was a member of Executive Committee of the Aularian Association. A.B.E. ALBERT CLAUDE DAVIS Canon A. C. Davis, who came up in 1908, took a leading part in the life of the Hall, and was Captain of Boats in 1910-1 l. He took his degree in l9II and was ordained the following year. He became a parish pries t of wide experience, with an unusual power of identifying himself with the community in which he served. When he died at Kidderminster on 20 July, 1943, he had for twelve years been Rector of Abington, on the outskirts of Northampton, the largest parish in the diocese of Peterborough. On accepting the living in 1930 at the invitation of the Bishop of Peterborough, who ha d learned to appreciate his qualities during his curate days at Rugby, he found that a large housing estate was springing up some distance from the church, which had become altogether too small for its congreg2tions. With an able team of curates -he was remarkable for his success in selecting and training young men - he soon established a mission church, and five years ago had the satisfaction of seeing a commodious and handsome daughter church dedicated to St. Alban. These energetic missionary efforts in his parish, however, did not prevent him from shouldering at least his full share of responsibility on several important diocesan boards, or from giving a vigorous lead to Church life in Northam pton itself. Although his incumbency at Abington probably coincided with the most fruitful period of his ministry, the gÂˇround was undoubtedly prepared for it during the eighteen years in which he had worked in the diocese of Worcester and Coventry since his ordination in 1912. His curacies at Kidderminster and Rugby, followed by his tenure of the living of All Saints, Coventry, gave him a thorough insight into the problems confronting the Church in towns. Some of his best work, however, was done between 1922 and 1930 as Vicar of Studley-with-Mappleborough, a mixed town and country parish. In all these different spheres he displayed the same qualities of drive and leadership, and was notable both for the width of his sympathies and for his genuine affection for his

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE people. His appointment 1927 and at Peterborough held in the dioceses and of The Church has sustained time when he still seemed before him .

to honorary canonries, at Coventry in in 1937, was a token of the position he the trust reposed in him by his bishops . a grievous loss through his death at a to have several years of useful activity J.N.D.K.

ROBERT ALFRED HADENFELDT The Rev . Robert Alfred Hadenfeldt, M.A., chaplain and assistant master of Sutton Valence School, died on 2 February, 1947, after a series of operations. He entered the Hall in Michaelmas Term, 1909, from University College, London, having previously been at Haberdashers' Aske's School. H e was the first member of the Hall to read for Honours in Modern Languages and obtained a second in 1912. After taking his degree he was appointed an assistant m aster at the Royal Masonic School, Bushey. In the First World War he served for two years in France and Belg ium as a Sergeant in the 7th Battalion of the Middlesex Regiment . On the return of peace .he went as Modern Languages Master to Sutton Valence and for thirty years gave devoted service to the school. H e was a capable teacher, but out of school he was apt to give an impression of shyness. But in discussion, in the company of one or two, he opened out and revealed his gifts of thoughtfulness and sympathy. In 1935 he took Holy Orders and added the duties of School Chaplain to his other responsibilities. A.B.E. HUGH CRAUFURD IRVING With the death of the Rev. Hugh Craufurd Irving; M.A., in 1943 at the age of 54 there passed a notable upholder of the best tradition in the head-mastership of English preparatory schools. Irving came up to the Hall from Leeds Grammar School in October, 1909. Energetic and keen, he played a vigorous part in the life of what was then a small but resolute academic society: he was Captain of Boats in 19u-1 2. On going down he went out to British Somaliland as a District Commissioner, but resigned in 1916 in order to join the Army. After training with the Royal Field Artillery he was commissioned in 1917, went out to France, was wounded, and after his recovery returned to active service. At the end of the War he decided to devote himself to the work of education. On obtaining a Board of Education Teaching Certificate he was appointed in 1920 H ead of the Crockham Hill Elementary (Experimental) School in Kent. At the end of four

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE

interesting years in that appointment he resolved to have a school of his own and took over a preparatory school in Oxted. In 1928, his school having outgrown its premises, he moved to Hazelwood, a large house set in delightful grounds at Limpsfield. In his wife, whom he had married in 1917, he had an eager and able collaborator. His abundant energy, his ready understanding of small boys, his varied interests, his venturous idealism, all contributed to make Hazelwood an enduringly happy memory for many boys. He was always at pains to keep abreast of educational developments. Himself a very good carpenter and cabinet-maker, he was a great believer in inculcating manual dexterity. But after ten years of devoted attention to the welfare of his school, he began to suffer seriously from arthritis and in 1939 retired to a cottage that he and his wife had bought at Snape in Suffolk. Unwilling to remain inactive, he offered himself for ordination, and for the last two years of his life, defying the crippling effects of the arthritis that had attacked him, he ministered to the country people of Snape and neighbouring villages: an example, indeed of suffering consecrated. His wife and a son survive him ; his only daughter died on active service with the W.A.A.F. in 1945· A.B.E. WILLIAM ANTIPAS CONGDON The Rev. William Antipas Congdon, M.A., died, aged 63, in 1946. He entered the Hall from St. Luke's College, Exeter, in Michaelmas Term, 1910. On taking his degree in 1913 he went to Lichfield Theological College, and on ordination in 1914 was appointed curate of South Normanton, Derbyshire. He was moved to All Saints, Nottingham in 1917, to Chippenham, as curate in charge of St. Peter'~;, Lowden, in 1920, and to St. Mary's Fishponds, Bristol, in 1923. He was appointed Vicar of Norton, Gloucs., in 1924. A.B.E. ROBERT SPENCE FOSTER Robert Spence Foster, C.M.G., O.B.E., M.A.; died suddenly in London on l September, 1947· Although he went about his work as Assistant Education Adviser at the Colonial Office with his usual energy and cheerfulness, he had never regained his former good health after the break-down that had obliged him to relinquish his appointment as Director of Education in Kenya in 1 945·

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE

Born in 1891, he was the son of Myles Birket Foster, F.R.A.M., F.R.C.0., and grandson of Birket Foster, the well-known watercolour painter. He entered the Hall from Magdalen College School in Hilary Term, 1912, but the outbreak of war in 1914 cut short his residence. He was commissioned in the 3rd Shropshire Light Infantry and promoted Lieutenant, and served in Flanders and France in 1915 and 1916, being twice wounded. In 1917 he was attached to the King's African Rifles and thus made his first contact with a country for the educational progress of which he was to do so much good work later. During the course of the E. African campaign he received a mention in despatches. After the war he entered the Colonial Education Service and in 1922 was appointed Superintendent of Education in the newly mandated Tanganyika Territory. In the course of a visit to South Africa he became engaged to Miss Marguerite Amabel, daughter of the Judge President of the Cape Province, and was married in 1929. In 1930 he was transferred to Uganda as Deputy Director and in 1939 to Zanzibar as Director. In the pr.otectorate of Zanzibar he made his mark as an educational administrator by his pursuit of a judiciously progressive policy, and was most happy in his personal relationship with the Zanzibaris with whom his work brought him in contact. He was awarded the O.B.E. in 1942 and came home for a spell ai the Colonial Office as Assistant Educational Adviser to the Secretary of State for the Colonies. In 1944 he returned to Africa to take up the most important and most difficult of all the African Directorships of Education, that of Kenya. The many new problems produced by the war made his task all the harder ; but with characteristic zest and cheerfulness he set to work with a will, never sparing himself in his endeavours to expedite the diverse business of recon.struction and new development. Unhappily he severely overtaxed his strength and was obliged to return to England in 1945 to recuperate. In official quarters his loss to African education was deeply felt, and he received timely recognition of his services by the conferment of the C.M.G. Unwilling to face premature retirement he took up once again his former post as Assistant Educational Adviser at the Colonial Office. It had been once his hope that when the time came for him to retire he might come and live in Oxford, and renew his acquaintance with the Hall from which the war of 1914-18 had carried him off prematurely: but while he could serve the educational needs of tropical Africa, he was not disposed to give in. A.B.E.

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE JOHN BOULTON WOOD

Aularians, particularly those of the period of the First World War, will learn with the deepest regret of the death of John Wood, Rector of Holm Cultram, which took place at vVhitley Bay on 15 D ecember, 1948. He was in his 55th year. Son of the Rev. W. Wood, John Wood came up to the Hall from Bury Grammar School in the Michaelmas term, 1914. After reading Hon. Classical Moderations and ' Greats ' he took his degree in 1918. Absent a year on military service, he returned in 1919 in order to read for the Diploma in Theology. As an undergraduate he was as nimble in debate, as he was with the foils: in 1920 he was awarded a half-blue for fencing. He developed a diversity of hobbies. He was skilled in the use of many musical instruments: he mastered the technique of spinning and weaving: the internal mechanism of a motor bicycle delighted him. In his home all these accessories were mingled with one another in happy disarray. Wood was ordained deacon by the Bishop of Carlisle in the Chapel at Rose Castle on 25 September, 1920, being the first to be ordained by the former Principal. He was ordained priest the following year. He went first as curate to St. James 's, Whitehaven, and then in 1924 to St. John's, Workington. In 1926 he was appointed Vicar of Westward, and in 1930 Rector of Holm Cultram. Writing of him in the Carlisle Diocesan Gazette, the former Rural Dean of Wigton says: 'There will be many in Cumberland Âˇ who will never forget John Boulton Wood, sometime Vicar of Westward and later of Holm Cultram-a most unusual and most lovable man--and especially will this be true in the Wigton district. In that memory the nimbleness of his mind and the simplicity of his life will always stand out. Yet his was a mind richly stored and he was a man who literally could, and did, bring out of his hidden treasures things new and old, but only when by doing so he could help not himself but others. As one got to know him, one by one those hidden talents appeared. Outside his faithful work in his own parishes it was perhaps in the Nelson School at Wigton that he found his greatest interest, and there ,he made his greatest friendships.' This is true, and it meant everything to the School that it was so. For John Wood as Chairman of the Governors not only ' interested ' himself in its affairs, but also played a leading part in many of its activities. He taug ht swimming; he played in the

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE

orchestra; he was never absent from sports days with his battery of stop-watches; and during the War he held a commission and took A.T.C. classes in navigation. On public occasions his speeches were always listened to with close attention; he always had something worth-while to say, and invariably enlivened the proceedings with the delightful play of his humour. He will be greatly missed. It will always be with feelings of deep gratitude that a fellow Aularian will look back upon the years of a singularly happy partnership in work and a neverclouded comradeship in leisure.

PERCY TAYLOR JEFFERSON The Rev. Percy Taylor Jefferson, M.A., died in 1947 aged 55. He went to the High School at Middlesbrough, where he was born, and afterwards to electrical works in the same town. In 1914 he joined St. Augustine's College, Canterbury, as a probationer, but the outbreak of war ctit short his residence there. After joining up he was commissioned in the R.A.S.C., was promoted Lieutenant, and saw service in Gallipoli, Egypt and Palestine, , where he received a mention in despatches. He entered the Hall in October, 1919, and lived with his wife and young family in Oxford. His third son, born in his last year as an undergraduate, was named Edmund, ' in memory of the Hall '. Ordained in 1921 from the Bishop's Hostel, Lincoln, he went out to work in the diocese of Kimberley; serving as a curate at St. Paul's, De Aar. He became Rector of Prieska, Kenhardt and Upington in 1924, four years later Rector of Beaconsfield, a parish comprising all the De Beer mines, and, after another four years, Rector of Fordsburg, a suburb of Johannesburg, one of the most difficult parishes in South Africa. While at Fordsburg, he engaged with characteristic courage and frankness in a campaign against the appalling housing conditions in Johannesburg, and indeed, in measure, led it. He threw himself with equal energy into the pastoral work of his exacting parish. But in 1935 his own state of health and that of hi~ wife obliged him to leave South Africa. On his return to England he was appointed Vicar of Bugthorpe, and domestic chaplain to Viscount Halifax. On the outbreak of war he fretted at his isolation in a remote Yorkshire village and volunteereq for welfare work in industry. For some time he was Area Labour Manager for the N. W. Region, under

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE

the Ministry of Supply. At the end of the war he held a commission as a Chaplain, R.N.V.R. Tall, big-boned, bluff, he engaged in whatever he undertook with a large-hearted energy that was entirdy unsparing of himself. No man could wish for a better commendation of his labours than that given him by Bishop Carey on his leaving South Africa: ' his work has been splendid and strenuous.' A.B.E. REGINALD ERNEST PRIESTLY The Rev. Reginald Ernest Priestly, M.A., Rector of St. Michael, Penkevil, died on 27 September, 1943, aged 44. After leaving Heath School, Halifax, he saw three and a half years service at sea in the First World War. At the end of the war he went to the Ordination Test School, Knutsford, and from there entered the Hall in October, 1921. He engaged actively in the life of the Hall, captained the Hockey XI in Hilary Term, 1923, and conducted the Madrigal Society. Greatly fond of music, and gifted with a good voice, he found time, too, to carry out the duties of Academic Clerk at New College. After taking his Finals in the Honour School of Modern History in i924, he went to Cuddesdon College, where he acted as Organ Scholar. On his ordination in i926 he was appointed curate at Dewsbury, and while he was there wrote and produced 'The Pageant of St. Paulinus '. In i926 he became curate of Whitkirk, Leeds, moving to Chipping Barnet in 1929. Four years later he accepted the Crown living of Treverbyn, Cornwall, and in i937 moved to St. Michael Penkevil, within easy reach of Truro. His abundant cheerfulness and energy came as a grateful tonic to many organisations in the diocese, the Boy Scouts, the British Legion, the Choral Union, and the Social Service Committee. When war broke out he organised, under the auspices of the Army Welfare Committee for Cornwall, the 'Truro Optimists ' Concert Party, which brought welcome recreation to thousands of Service men and women in units scattered th,roughout the Duchy. He could never refuse a call upon his friendly aid, with the result that the diverse war-time activities in which he engaged fatally impaired his health. His sudden death, as local testimony on many hands has recorded, came as a severe blow in the diocese of Truro . His wife had been contemporary with him as an undergraduate. They ha d two daughters and a son. Aularians who knew Priestly will sympathise greatly with his family in their bereavement. A.B.E.

ROBERT SIM · Robert Sim, M.A., of Tweed Knowe, Selkirk, died of pneumonia on 8 February, 1943, aged 49. Never physically robust, he suffered irreparably in health as the result of service in the First World vVar ; but, true to the staunch Border stock from which he came, he faced all difficulties and inconvenience with dry humour and unvarying courage. He passed from Selkirk High School to · the University of Glasgow, but his studies there were interrupted by the outbreak-of war. In October, 1914, he joined the Army, but was ; hortly afterwards discharged on m edical grounds as unfit for active service overseas. It was characteristic of him that he should have volunteered forthwith to go out as a driver in the French Ambulance Service. He was subsequently· awarded the Croix de Guerre in recognition of his intrepid work unqer: difficult conditions. But his health was perma nently impaired by the ill-effects of exposure to gas attack. After the war he spent a short period in his family's business of cloth manufacture at Selkirk. In 1921 he decided to resume his university studies and entered the Hall in Michaelmas Term. While in residence he read for Honours in Zoology . Alth0ugh not able on account of his indifferent health to engage in games he followed with zest the rising fortunes of the Hall in sport. He graduated in 1925. In the following year the appeal on behalf of the new Library Building was launched: it was eloquent of the affection with which he had come to regard the Hall that the list of subscribers to this appeal was headed by his most generous gift of £400. When later the Endowment and Extension Fund was instituted, he was an equally generous contributor and by the time of his death had given £655 towards it. After going down he maintained his zoological interests and made some study of the plankton of Loch Sween. But gradually his health deteriorated and he was obliged to spend considerable periods abroad. Those who watched him fight this losing battle observed with admiration that he never failed in courage and cheerfulness. A.B.E. GEORGE CANNON SMITH George Cannon Smith, M.A., died in Edinburgh Infirmary on l 7 July, 1942, aged 37. He had been in indifferent health for some time, and as a schoolmaster who had been accustomed to throw himself with abundant energy into every activity of school life, he

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE

found the restrictions set upon him by his doctors very difficult to bear. An Oxonian by birth, he went to the Oxford High Scl1ool where he made a good name for himself in games. His prowess in the field was soon displayed on his admission to the Hall in October, 1923. He obtained his Hall colours for Association Football in 1924, was Captain of Athletics in 1925-6, and Captain of Cricket in 1927 . On taking his degree he was appointed an assistant master at Liverpool College. He had obtained a modest 3rd in the Honour School of Modern Languages, but he soon proved himself, in the opinion of his headmaster, to be a very good teacher of French, for he had the persuasive enthusiasm that is capable of making linguistic studies palateable to initiates. In 1934 he moved to St. Bee's School where he was appointed Senior Modern Language Master. Later he became a House-master. It was a period when the school was in the toils of a depression. St. Bee's in its subsequent survival owes much to the unselfish loyalty and zest that characterised Smith's devoted service to his house and to the school in very difficult days. A.B.E. PETER YOUNG P eter Young, M.A., lost his life in the accident which befell the B.0.A.C. aircraft ' Star Dust' which disappeared without trace whilst on flight across the Andes from Buenos Aires to Santiago on 2 August, 1947. Young entered the Hall from St. Peter's School, York, in Michaelmas Term, 1925, and became one of its leading citizens during his three years of residence. He was President of the Essay Society and President of the John Oldham Society in his last year, and played regularly for the Hall at hockey. In his Finals he obtained a creditable second in the Honour School of English Language and Literature. On going down he chose, to the surprise of some of his friends, to embark on business as his career; and, as events proved, he chose well. He joined as an administrative probationer, the Dunlop Rubber Co. Ltd., and quickly rose to responsible appointments. He was a notable example of the good success in the world of business ,that can be achieved by a university trained man whose interests and study have previously lain in the field of literature. At sincere pains to understand people, he was a careful and shrewd observer, evoking a strong sense of confidence. His judgments were balanced and sincere, and seasoned with humour. After the conclusion of

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE

his probationership, all his service for his firm as a manager was in foreign countries ; and whether in Roumania, to which country he first went, or in Latin America he proved himself a greatly valued representative and his loss came as a severe blow to the Company and the many friends he had made within and without the Dunlop Organisation in South America. A.B.E . FREDERICK HARRIS TROTT Frederick Harris Trott, M.A., died, after a sudden operation, at a British Military Hospital in Austria on 30 March, 1947, aged 40. At the time of his death he was on the staff of the Control Commission. Trott went first to the Grammar School, at Bristol, where he Âˇ was born, and later, when his parents moved to Swansea, he migrated to the Grammar School of that City. He entered the Hall in October, 1926. He had a marked bent for the study of Modern Languages and was successful in winning a Heath Harrison Travelling Scholarship in his second year, and was made an Honorary Exhibitioner of the Hall. He suffered, as an undergraduate, from indifferent health, and the 3rd that he obtained in his Final Schools was a justifiable disappointment to him. Three years in a bank convinced him that his career did not lie in that direction. Music was his absorbing interest; and while he was at the Hall he showed considerable promise as a pianist and as a composer. But it was not until 1933, when he obtained a post as assistant master in English at the Federal Boarding School of Wiener Neustadt, Schille am Ti.irm, that he was able to satisfy his ambition of improving his musical and linguistic ability by residence abroad . In 1935 he returned to Oxford to read for the degree of B.Mus. and passed the lSt Examination in 1937; at the same time he studied at the Royal College of Music . The encouragement that he received from Sir Hugh Allen compensated not a little for the difficulties that he experienced through financial stringency. But with the outbreak of war he set his study of music aside and obtained an appointment at the War Office as a linguistic expert. A break-down in health obliged him to give up this work . On recovering he joined the Liverpool ,Philharmonic Orchestra and married. Receiving an offer of a well-salaried post as an interpreter with the Control Commission in Austria in 1946 he dec.ided to revisit a country where he had spent some of the happiest days of his life. He had been joined only a few days by his wife and

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE

small boy when a gastric ulcer rendered necessary an immediate operation. Dogged by ill-health and constant disappointment Trott never allowed himself to grow dispirited in a brave effort to equip himself to become a creditable composer of music. A.B.E. JACK NOEL WILDE LEECH Jack Wilde-Leech died at Cardiff on 30 D ecember, 1947, at the age of 35. He entered the Hall from St. Edward's School in Michaelmas Term, 1931, and read for Honours in Law. After taking his degree he read for the Bar and was called, as a member of the Inner Temple, in 1936. Whether as an undergraduate or as a barrister his cheerful good nature won him many friends. He subsequently practised on the South Wales and Chester Circuit. Perhaps his last visit to Oxford was just before the war when he discharged with becoming amiability and efficiency the duties of Marshal for one of H .M. Judges on the occasion of the Assizes. A.B.E. H e leaves a widow and a daughter. MAURICE ROY LARSON The Rev. Maurice Roy Larson, M.A., died at George, Cape Province, S. Africa, on 11 March, 1944, aged 27 years. A South African, he was born and brought up, and went to school, at GraaffR einet in the same Province. When he was still only 13 years old he decided to offer himself in due course to the Ministry of the Church, and from that resolve he never wavered. Coming to England in 1936, he spent a year at St. Augustine's College, Canterbury, and from there entered the Hall in October, 1937. H e took his degree in 1940 with a Second in Theology. After a few months' final preparation at St. Augustine 's College, he set sail for his native land, and was admitted to the diaconate in St. J ames 's, Graaff-Reinet, on 16 March, 1941. After a spell of work in the parish of Formosa, he was ordained priest in St. Mark's Cathedral, George, on 1 March, 1942, and shortly afterwards took up work in the cathedral parish. vVhen two years later he died, he was taking steps to become a chaplain to the Forces. At Canterbury, at the Hall and in South African parishes Roy La rson left much the same impression of a winning, unaffectedly Christian personality . During his three years at the Hall. he stood out as one of the keenest of the large band of ordination candidates then in residence. Outwardly gentle and unobtrusive, he had a . warm friendliness which brought him into many circles, and he made h is mark as much on the hockey field as in the Liddon Society.

When he entered upon his ministry in South Africa, the wealth of spiritual qualities with which he was endowed began to find a full and fruitful outlet. Writing in the George Diocesan Magazine, his Bishop declared that he had never known a priest exercise so amazing an influence in so short a time. He was a born pastor whose love for Christ's sheep made him spend all his talents in their service. It seems likely that his last illness was itself the result of over-work in the cause to which he had dedicated himself as a child. J.N.D.K. CECIL PIERCE Cecil Pierce's death by drowning in the Long Vacation, 1943, was a tragedy. AfteÂˇr having rooms in Hall his first year, he had just taken up residence at St. Stephen's House for the remainder of his academic course. He had gone bathing in . the Cherwell on the afternoon of 27 July with the Principal of the House and some other theological students. As they lay sunbathing on the bank he was swimming about in the river, when suddenly he got into difficulties and sank out of sight. Despite strenuous efforts, his friends could not find him in the deep pool into which he had disappeared, and when eventually his body was recovered by the police he was dead. Pierce was an ordinand destined for the ministry of the Church of Wales. _When he was admitted to the Hall in October, 1942, he had already had a distinguished career at the University of North Wales, where he had obtained a degree with First Class Honours in History. During his brief period at Oxford he took up Theology and, though hampered by a lack of classical background, soon gave evidence of sound scholarship and a fine sense of literary style. His unusually wide range of knowledge combined with his maturity of mind to make his essays models of their kind. His musical accomplishments found an outlet in the chapel, where he helped with the organ and choir, as well as in the J .C.R. and the Musical Society; and he made an energetic chairman of the Liddon Society. But it was among his contemporaries that he made the greatest impression. Being older than most, he speedily came to be regarded as one of the patriarchs of the Common Room, where his friendliness and wit brought him into contact with practically everyone. He was always at his best in the Essay Society, and was elected its president for the summer term. Like mal!y other candidates for the ministry of his ability and education, Pierce was acutely sensitive to the impact of politics and science on the orthodox faith in which he had been nurtured.

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE

For one so open-minded and so sympathetic to different points of view, the struggle to rebuild his philosophy on fo undations which he could honestly accept was often painful, and at times this interior tension was concealed under a cynical scepticism which was baffling to friends who did no t understand. His perseverance was, however, rewarded, for shortly before he died he was able to confess that he had re-discovered the spiritual peace and confidence which he had temporarily lost sight of. A Requiem for his soul was said at St. Stephen's House on Saturday, 31 July, in the presence of some members of the Hall. J.N.D.K.

C. PIERCE. The term augured well, for E. L. Moor's essay 'Minerva's Ass ' was a brilliant attack upon the vicious tendency towards specialisation in Education. Discussion only becameÂˇ seriously contentious when C. R. Ullyatt, reading his essay, 'Brain's Tryst' struck a forebodingly apocalyptic note in his discussion of human happiness . P. Zimmerman however, reading his essay 'The . Place of Religion' was much more sympathetic towards a . badly belaboui;ed humanity. He was a graceful advocate of religious freedom, while religious libertinism he abominated. D. E. Parker with his Presidential Essay, 'The Trumpet of his lips,' attempted to foist onto his unwary listeners the milk of the word of Catholic Orthodoxy, under the rather insinuating guise of Chestertonian philosophy. The last of a series of efforts to investigate the perversity of the species 'inan' was encountered in G. S .

THE MAKERS, 1943-1947 Doubtless owing to the unsettling influences of the wai- ' years the Makers lapsed, in spite of intermediate attempts to revive it, from Hilary Term, 1941 until Michaelmas Term, 1946, when it was again reconstituted with H. K. GIRLING as President and E. W. SUDALE as Secretary. The first meeting of the revived society, with a record number of members, met in the President of the J.C.R.'s room on 22 October, where they heard Mr. E. V. Rieu read a paper entitled ' Cinderella - The Tenth Muse!' which dealt with the true purpose and function of translation. In the Hilary Term E. G. Midgley was elected President and C. H. Coleman Secretary. The highlights of the term were Mr. L. A. G. Strong's talk on the 'Experimental Modern Novel' and the Society's choral reading of T. S. Eliot's 'The Waste Land.' Only two meetings were held in Trinity Term, when C. H. COLEMAN was President and D. J. R. THOMAS, Se'cretary; but then members generally find that the long summer evenings can be spent more profitably absorbing Nature on the river than div.ulging Nature in Roo.m 13.

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE

A second meeting was held on 3 March, when the Rev. J. P. Burrough gave a talk entitled 'Western Christianity and Oriental Values.' The speaker first drew the attention of the meeting to the fact that the roots of Christian cultur~ do not lie inside Europe. We should not, therefore, assume that, in the event of any collapse of European civilisation, the Christian cause would be lost. Mr. Burrough spoke from experience as a prisoner-of-war both in Malaya and Japan. The Japanese were quick to understand spiritual matters. The ordinary soldier would pray at the wayside shrine with greater spontaneity than his Western counterpart. A Japanese priest; preaching to prisoners-of-war, had fearlessly denounced Shintoism, despite the presence of many Japanese officers. The Chinese differed in many ways, but the speaker had noted their delight in children, and their g reat respect for the aged. They had always been reapy to assist prisoners-of-war, although such assistance invariably involved great personal risk. When once converted the Eastern Christian was both loyal and steadfast, and it was the opinion of the speaker that Christianity might well look to the East for its future hope. D.L.T.

The first Torpid thus started Head of the River, and the second Torpid took up the second position in Division II I. The first crew rowed over at Head for five days, but on the last day was bumped by a powerful St. John's boat only two lengths from the finishing post. The second crew maintained its position. In the Trinity Term, the first VIII took up its prewar position of second on the river., and the second VIII that of sandwich boat between Division III and II. The first crew dropped three places, being bumped by Magdalen, Oriel and .New College, but the second crew made two bumps and thus reached the Second Division.

The club was now going through a very difficult period, when there were few freshmen up with much rowing experience. Coaches were not readily available, especially as P. H. Mathews a nd M. H . A. Boyd were rowing in the University Trial Eights. In Michaelmas Term, Clinker IV races were held, and a crew consisting of P. J. C. Smith, G. W. H. Adcock, J. D. Fromant, J. P. de C. Meade and R. M. Blomfield was entered; and it won its first heat but lost the next. In Hilary Term the first Torpid seemed a very promising crew, but bad luck and illness upset its progress just before the races were held, and a weakened crew started second in Torpids, but lost four places , being bumped by New College, Christ Church, Trinity and Brasenose, thus finishing sixth. These races were rowed in the middle of the memorable ' freeze-up ', and had to be held up for three days half way through; and on the days when there was racing an icebreaker had to prepare the course before the start!

ST. EDMUND HALL :MAGAZINE

The courage of the crews in doggedly carrying on was a notable feature of the term's activity. The second crew was also bumped four times, but redeemed itself on the last day by making a bump. It started second in Division III, and ended up fifth. At the end of the term, P . H. Mathews, to the great delight of the Boat Club, won the well-deserved honour of rowing in the Boat Race against Cambridge . In Trinity Term, the Club continued to suffer eclipse. Despite the hard work of P. H. Mathews, the First Eight dropped from fifth to eighth place, being bumped by Christ Church, Brasenose and St. John's. The second Eight covered itself with glory, however, bumping Oriel II and three first boats - those of Hertford, St. Peter's Hall and Keble. It reached eighth place in Division II. D. L. Thawley fell sick after three days' racing, and G. R. Kerr gave a magnificent performance by stepping in his place, untrained, at a moment's notice, to help the crew continue its victorious ascent. · CREWS ISt TORPID 2nd TORPID Bow. P. J. C. Smith Bow.

Up to the end of Michaelmas Term, 1945 the Hall team, playing with Queen's, acquitted itself well in both league and cup-ties. The league was won in both 1944 and 1945 and the cupties in 1945. In the cup-ties of 1946, playing without Queen's by now, we were semi-finalists. The fo llowing season we went back to our ground in the Parks and celebrated the event by gaining promotion to Division I of the league. No cup-tie matches were played that season owing to the exceptionally bad winter. In the season 1947-48 we finished fourth in the league (Division I) and reached the quarter-finals of cup-ties, succumbing to B.N.C., the ultimate winners. During this period C. ]. Weir and G. A. Moss obtained blues, the former captaining the University in the season 1947-8, and the later being elected secretary for 1946-7. They also played for the combined English Universities XI in 1946. C.]. Weir and D. W. Hall also played for the combined English Universities against Hoiland in 1948. D. W. Hall was reserve for the University match in 1947, and was selected for the Irish Tour. In the. 1945-46 season, W. P. Head was elected Hon. Secretary of the 0.U. Centa urs A.F.C., and T. D. Weston was also elected to the Centaurs.

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE HILARY TERM,

1947

Due to the appalling weather this term, we only 路played one match and the Inter-College Cup Ties were cancelled. W.H.A.T. THE ATHLETIC CLUB The existing records of the Athletic Club for the years 19431946 are obscure, and this history, cannot unfortunately, be regarded as complete. Suffice it to say that the Hall, usually united with the Queen's College, took part in the inter-College .c ompetitions but with no resounding results. The reason for our position of honest mediocrity seems to have been the general indifference of the majority to the patient efforts of a small chain of devotees. However, members of. the Hall earned reward in the larger field . of University athletics. P. P. L. Zimmerman (Carpenter) long-jumped for a combined Oxford and Cambridge team, and finished 2nd in the 100 yards sprint of the University Trials of 1943路 For these and other successes he was elected to the Centipedes - as路 was C. R . Plint in 1944, when he ran the mile against Cambridge. . . The health of the Hall Athletic Club remained poorly until 1946-1947, when, under the presidency of G. R. M. Drew, the Hall finished 8th out of 19 colleges in the Cross-country Cup-ties, and acclaimed moderate success in the Relays. The Inter-College Sports of that year were prohibited by the bad weather. Crosscountry Colours were awarded to F. R. Crozier, who .had been elected路 to the Centipedes. C. J. Weir and P. Carpenter gained Half-Blues in the University sports of 1946 and 1947, for sprinting and long"jumping respectively. J.M.C. LAWN TENNIS CLUB TRINITY TERM,

. THE S\i\TIMMING CLUB The decline in Hall swimming during the period 1943-1947 was bound up with ~he decline in swimming activity which afflicted the University in general during the war years . There were, however, three occasions when the Hall obtained some measure of fame . In Trinity Term, 1943, when the Hall displayed a distinct reawakening of interest in the sport, A . Arthur swam for the O.U.S.C . in a match against Oxford County. For this he was awarded his Hall Colours. In Hilary Term, 1946, while unable to raise a water-polo team, the Hall entered a team for the Swimming Cup-ties which took the form of a Medley Relay. Out of fourteen starters we got through to the Finals, only to be beaten there by Trinity College. Thirdly, in the following term, D . Cra;ven swam for the 0.U .S.C. on two occasions. At the beginning of Michaelmas Term, 1947, a far-sighted president appointed a 路 swimming 路representative to attend the 0. U .S.C. meeting, as a r.esult of which the Hall entered for the University Water-Polo League that 路 term . Five matches were played and five were lost - the side scoring their one and only goal in the last minute of the last game. 路 The morale of the team remained high to the end. P.R.T.

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE

During the period 1943-47 the Hall was fortunate in possessing two very strong players in A. F .. Macdonald and G. A. R. Swannell. Though no ' blues ' were awarded during the war years, both represented the University on numerous occasions and were elected to the Squirrels. Macdonald became Secretary of the 0. U .S.R.C. in 1945 and was succeeded in this office in 1946 by Swannell, who gained his ' half-blue ' on their reintroduction in this year. With these two as its backbone, and ably supported by the Vice Principal and F. B.. Morley, who also played for the University on occasion, the H;ill team was usually more than a match for most other College teams, perhaps the best performance being the reaching of the 1944 Cup-ties final, in which we were narrowly beaten by a powerful Magdalen team. 1947 saw the continued rise in the numbers of the Hall and the consequent difficulty of getting to know everybody. An illustration of this may be found in the experience of two Aularians of different years, each of whom, on arrival at the courts for a match, presumed the other to be a member of the opposing team and proceeded to a tense and closely-fought game watched by their two wondering opponents. The team in this year, though quite strong on paper, was never able to settle down, although as many matches were won as lost. M. de L. Hart was our best player while P.H. Phizackerley and T . M. Le Mesurier were always hard to beat. J.A.G.C.L.

SOCIETIES, 1948 THE DEB.ATING SOCIETY HILARY TERM, 1948

President-A. WARD. Vice-President-G. W. H. Secretary-R. DAY.

ADCOCK.

The first meeting of term was held on Monday, 26th January, at 8.30 p.m. in the Dining Hall. The motion was: ' That this House would deplore any alteration in the Law and procedure regarding the death penalty.' W . H. A. Tothill, in proposing the motion, spoke dramatically and with conviction, admonishing the House with the help of a revolver (which he handled with grave circumspection). This weapon, he said, was a good enough reason for retaining the death penalty. He had no sympathy with murderers.

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZI.NE

117

In replying for the opposition, P. L. Roussel fervently attacked the stubborn orthodoxy of the supporters of the motion. Raising the moral and spiritual is sues involved, he reminded the House t~at we were looking for a cure for murder, not a preventive.

R. S. 0. Poole seconded the proposer of the motion and immediately drifted away into the collective unconscious. He never quite returned and G. W. H. Adcock rose to press the advantage home for the opposition less truculently than we had expected of him. When the debate was thrown open to the . House it was clear. that the fight was to be a close one. These spoke for the motion: V. Whitsey, G. Law, C. A . H. Skelton, R. Day, P. J. Frankis, H. A. Leverett; and against the motion: M. J. Fawcett, G. H. Winter, D. S. Collison; T. C. Luke, I. Church, H. K. Girling. The opposition developed their case well by pointing out that the relaxation of the death penalty on the Continent had not resulted in an increase of crime, and that therefore a change would at least be worth a trial: Consequently, when a division was taken the motion was lost by 8 votes to 10. On Monday, February gth, the second meeting of the Society was held in the Dining H all at 8.15 p.m. to discuss the motion: 'That this House deplores the Dean of Canterbury.' Surprisingly enough members were not drawn by this motion in the large numbers that had been expected, and political animosity did not run very high. I. Church, proposing the motion, and V. Whitsey seconding, were strangely unconvincing in their objection to the D ean, and R. F. Mackay an.cl I. Alexander had a much easier job en listing the House 's sympathy. On the whole members felt that the ' Red ' Dean was a reasonable and in scime ways a rather lovable old man and they le-f t it at that. The motion was lost by 7 votes to 1 1 . On Wednesday, 25th February, the Society paid a v1s1t to Somerville West J .C .R. at the invitation of the Somerville D ebating Society. The motion was: 'That the United Europe Movement is bound to lead us into war.' Miss J. Roderick, proposing the motion, said that while she appreciated the good intentions of honest people, she could believe in no more than the formation of Eastern and Western European blocks. And this, she thought, must be a certain signal f9r war. For the opposition, D. A. Shears eloquently affirmed his faith in the honest people who worked for peace. H e believed Western

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE

European unity could be a sound step forward to still greater unity, and far from promoting war, would encourage Russia to join in and share in its obvious benefits. A. vVard rose to second the proposer of the motion and was both gloomy and reactionary. He reflected on the decay of the great empires, and thought that human nature could always be relied .on to ruin the best laid schemes. In indignation, though somewhat na:ively, Miss A. vVarburton defied this easy pessimism and stated the case almost syllogistically. We did not want war; neither did the Russians; Germany was incapable of waging it. Therefore there would be no war. When the debate was thrown open to the House it was clear that members were not prepared to be over pessimistic. R. A. Dickinson was particularly critical of the motion's supporters, and found P. L. Roussel and P . Carpenter in close agreement with him. Neither H. K, Girling's careful support of the motion, nor P. L. Poel's dismal anarchy could spake the opposition, and the motion was lost by 8 votes to 14. These also spoke for the motion: Miss Collins, Miss Daniels, Miss Vidakovitch and theSecretary of the Somerville Debating Society; against the motion: W. J. Turley, W. H. A. Tothill. The motion : ' That this House thinks the doctors are being unreasonable' was debated in the Dining Hall at 8.15 p.m. on Monday, 8th March. Owing to the unfortunate illness of the Secretary, the Vice-President took over R. Day's duties for the meeting. H. K. Girling, opening for the proposition, condemned the campaign of the B.M.A. against the Health Scheme, when every responsible person recognised the need for reform. He referred to the overworked general practitioner, and said that he and his patient would gain considerably from a properly organised Health Service which would make us the envy of the world. In replying for the opposition, W. J. Tunley, with characteristic forthrightness, attacked the Health Scheme for its vague but tyrannical bureaucracy, and forecast trouble for the future . The doctors were reasonble in that they opposed not the principles of the Act, but its terms. J. Bull, seconding the motion, was at his measured best. He sat heavily on the argument for the sale of practices, and believed the administrative difficulty was over-emphasised. The need of the patients, he said, had to come first, and yet the Health Scheme was still weighted in favour of the doctors.

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE

119

Replying, R. A. Dickinson alluded to the significant result of the B.M.A. ballot, and claimed that doctors were intelligent and not politically biased. They obj ected to Mr. Aneurin Bevan, certainly, but this was of itself sufficient proof of their good sense . . A lively battle ensued when the debate was thrown open to the House. The scales were evenly balanced until an ex-President of the Society, and one of its most distinguished speakers, A. W. Fowler, rose to support the motion. With quiet fluency he. analysed the provisions of the Act, paying special attention to the abolition _of the sale of practices and the system of fees. The scheme would_ make the doctor economically free to be h_onest .with his patients. Also in favour of the . motion these spoke: Alfred Baxter, G. W. H. Adcock, I. Alexander ; and against the motion : J. S. Golland, D. F. Goldsmith, J. M. S. King, M. P. Whitaker, Albert Baxter. The vote was taken and the motion carried by 12 votes to 7. TRINITY TERM,

During the course of this term the re had been several signs of reviving interest in the Debating Society, and though no meetings. were held the subject of the Hall's most ancient Society was raised at the final meeting of the J.C.R. At the. suggest~on of the President of the J .C .R. the junior ex-President, A. Wa.rd, undertook to call a meeting .e arly in \:he Hilary Term to elect officers for the Society.

He defined art and beauty and castigated disbelievers who denied the value of their own intellects . A. A. J. Foster revealed himself as a catlover in his essay ' I've always had a cat '. P. A. Wilde launched a discussion on racialism by his essay ' Iconoclast Undaunted '. J. Mitchell pilloried and praised film heroes in his essay 'No book for the Duchess ' .

R . McAdams argued for a retrial of secular enlightenment in his essay ' Some uses and abuses of Materialism '. A creative materialist society would develop the positive idea of traditional religious philosophy of conformity to nature. He asserted that the essential base of society was existence and reproduction, not liberalism and culture. Christianity was displayed as a kind of materialism, said the Essayist, and for this he was severely taken to task by the Society. W. A. Osman asked the Society to ' Consider the Lilies ' in two aspects - their lack of gainful employment, and their beauty. The first aspect was an attack on the vicious habit of work and the unbalanced economy of the world ; the second seemed to be a claim for a class of artists who devoted themselves to the study and production of art to the exclusion of all else. This brought immediate protests of a most original and enlivening manner, during which the 'espece Bull ' was closely analysed. R. G. Furnival's essay 'Cafe Society' was read in absentia and discussed cafe society and the coffee habit. This meeting provided excellent opportunities for discussion of mead and its preparation. Two ex-Presidents gave recipes for its manufacture, ranging from Anglo Saxon, which assumed a doubtful taste if the experimenter were careless enough to translate one word as bogwort instead of bog myrtle, to Mrs. Beeton. H. A. Leverett launched a merciless attack ori modern life in the gastronomical sphere in his essay ' The Snob at Table '. He praised English cooking and condemned the disguising of bad cooking with sauces. The two ex-Presidents (Messrs. Ward and Midgley) who had experimented with mead, now revealed that in France they had been told 'vous

121

mangez comme les chiens '. The discussion was culinary and gustat.ory. P. Carpenter discussed humour in his essay ' This England '. Both essay and discussion were fully documented and illustrated. The Presidential Essay was called ' On the difficulty of being clever '. This was a plea for an active participation in politics which was not an adolescent occupation. The President challenged the academic intellectual and asserted his own creed of democratic liberalism. MICHAELMAS TERM,

R. F. Benton, who had spent most of the long vac. in Czechoslovakia, gave the Society the benefit of his travels, observa'tions and reactions in his essay entitled ' Varitas Vincit - in abeyance '. His thesis was built round the problem of the right use of language and its fata l misuse in propaganda. E. G. Midgley felt there was too much specialisation in the University and wished to found a school based on the school of English Language and Literature, which would give a man the full education he had in the integrated days of the Trivia and Quadrivia. His essay ' 3 and 4 and the Full Man ' led to a profitable discussion on the problems of reorganisation of the teaching in the University. M. H. W. Park considered hotels from a social and phychological angle and pleaded for schools to teach manners and etiquette. The Society's gourmets rose to the occasion and aH aspects of hostelries were discussed. P. H. Harris kept the Society in a 'Happy convulsion' while he analysed the causes and nature of laughter: whether it be a relief or a perception of incongruity, and the various categories of laughter - that born of the ludicrous, conscious wit and satire. The discussion provided opportunities for observing laughter in action and for analysing its cause. Bergson appeared in the person of J. K. Clark and H. S. Harris asserted the essential childlikeness and the sudden glory of laughter. N. J. Williams examined the mistakes of Mr. Rutland Boughton during his essay 'With the froth flowing over the top '. Mr . Boughton set out to prove his Marxist thesis that only music of the folk could be termed great . The Essayist disputed this and wondered whether the ' aesthetic formalin ' of a Shostokovitch ought to be condoned or condemned. He also rescued our musical idols from a class valuation. The discussion controlled by H. S. Harris considered the metaphysics and morals of art. J. K. Clark opened a metaphysical evening with his essay on 'Jean Paul Sartre'. He avoided defining Existentialism, an omission the Society tried to rectify at the instance of an

122

ST. EDMUND HALL :MAGAZINE

importunate and cunningly naive member, and went on to discuss the literary merits of Sartre, with particular reference to the plays which presented extreme situations. H e insisted on the placing of Sartre in his historical context- occupied France-to explain the spirit behind his writing. The discussion emphasised Existentialism as a condition of mind and not a philosophy ; it presented man with a choice and ordered him to choose between liberty and effacement. The philosopher present brought the discussion round to the problem of determinism and free will - and only the philosophers know how the transition came about. The Presidential Essay 'Archim edes Unbound ' raised the question o.f the relations between the world of imagination and the ' world of fact, and attempted an analysis of Âˇi nspiration. C.R.U.

Peter Ustinov's 'House of Regrets,' arather difficult tragicomedy, was read with considerable success with. the ladies. of Somerville at the first meeting. .H. A, .Leveret.t 's performance of the French choreographer was particularly good. ' Blithe Spirit,' read with St. Hilda' s at the second meeting, showed plainly the good influence of the film ..version. Elvira and Mme. Arcati were the most successful results of this modelling, and the play was thoroughly enjoyed by all present. J. B,. Priestley' s rather facile vision of Utopia in 'They came to a City', read at St. Anne's, was a less successful enterprise, only .M rs . Batley, the Cockney . ' char ', being played with real confidence. Terence Rattigan's 'While the Sun Shines' provided the Society and visitors with an excellent evening's entertainment, though the rather inconsequential plot was difficult to unravel. The ladies of St. Hilda 's assisted at the final play-reading of the term - k A. Milne's pathetic play 'Other P eople's Lives'; Mr. D. Vear ai;ld Mr. ].

Owing to the pressure of other attractions, this term included fewer meetings than the winter terms, but those held were of good quality. As is fitting to the Summer Term, most of the plays were of a lighter character. The ladies of St. Hilda 's assisted ably at a spirited reading of the Traver's farce 'Cuckoo in the Nest,' which

went off at the requisite pace. An all-male reading of three oneact plays showed that great talent for more serious acting existed in the Society. The high-light of the term was a meeting held in punts on the Cherwell with the ladies of Somerville. Unfortunately, owing to the difficulties and mishaps of navigation, no opportunity was found for reading the pfay intended! MICHAELMAS TERM,

The term opened with a n all-male reading of 'Twelfth Night' which, despite difficulties, was most enjoyable; notable features of the evening were Mr. Mason's robust Malvolio and Mr. Nias' simultaneous performance of both sides of a love scene! In retrospect, the best meeting of the term was the second, held at Somerville, when the amusing comedy ' George and Margaret ' was r ead by a universaily capable cast. The love-scenes Âˇ were unusually well-done. ' D a ngerous Corner ' by Priestley, and ' La dy Windem ere 's Fan,' read with L ady Margaret Hall and Somerville were less entertaining. The movement of the former was particularly slow. 'Friends and Relations,' by St. John Ervine, was read at L a,dy Margaret Hall and proved an interesting play, equipped with an intolerable Oxford Graduate and a variety of Irish accents. The play-reading 'hardy annual '-:-Wilde's ' Importance of being E arnest' was, as always, delightful entertainment. D. Chewter wa s extremely ~unny as Canon Chasuble, and Lady Bracknell and Miss Prism were very well played by the visitors . Galsworthy's 'The Skin Game,' read with the assistance of St. Hugh's , while following perhaps too faithfully a well-worn tradition against r:evaluation, was nevertheless well worthy of a ttention, and was given a good aJl-round performance. Sheridan's 'The Riva ls' was read at the last meeting with the assistance of Lady Margaret Hall. A little more gusto and confidence in the reading would have been welcome. Only R. E. Ford as Sir Lucius O 'Trigger was really on top of his pa rt , but Sheridan 's delightful humour and delicate satire were, on the whole, adequately conveyed. F.F.N. THE MUSICAL SOCIETY TRINITY TERM

The outstanding events of the term were Mr. Pat Dickinson's visit when he read a paper on style in modern poetry, and the surprisingly able way in which members responded to the set subject for the term - ' Still Life '. Trinity Term was again comparatively inactive. J. E. M. S. RUSSELL was President and P. L. ROUSSEL .S ecretary. The term :was, however, m a rked by the appeara nce of 'First Words', an anthology of the work of members of the Society, edited by D . J. R. Thomas. Before commenting on the progress of the Society in Michaelmas Term, it would be appropriate to congratulate J. E. M . S. Russell on being the first Maker in statu pupillari to reach print, with his 'The Grinning Face', a collection of his own poems. The President for this term was P. L. RousSEL with J. HOBBS as Secretary. The Society welcomed seven new members and numbered eighteen in all. Much r ich and new material was read during the term, and meetings were particularly lively both in the work offered and the subsequent discussions. There was one set subject, ' Islands,' to which members .responded with remarkable ability. Unfortunately our outside speaker was unable to come. P.L.R. THE LIDDON SOCIETY HILARY TERM, 1948

Chairman -

D. L. THA WLEY.

At a meeting held on 18 February, Brother Michael S.S.F. spoke on the Religious Life in the Church of England with, in recent years, special reference to the Franciscans. He began by tracing the history of the rise of religious orders in the Church of

12.6

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE

England since the time ofthe .Oxfo:rd ·Movement, and showed that they had been both more numerous and more active than is commonly realised. The Anglican Franciscan order had originated in the desire of a number of priests to minister to the needs of the vast number of unemployed who tramped the roads of Britain in the period b.e tween the two great wars. At first their work did not meet with any marked success. It was evident that some new way of approach was necessary. Then it was that this body of men had adopted the Franciscan rule of 'life, and constituted itself a Franciscan order. After 1939, when unemployment ceased to be a serious problem, the Society had turned to other fields of work. A school had been founded for difficult and backward boys, and was recognised and supported by the Home Office. This work was having very promising results. The Society had also turned to mission ·work in parishes in various parts of the country. A small house had been founded at Cambridge where work was carried on among undergraduates. Quite recently a mission for coloured seamen had been started in the East End of London. Owing to two speakers failing the Society, rio meetings were held in Michaelmas Term. D.L.T.

The prospects for. i:he Club now seemed brighter, since many revenants had rejoined, bringing with them a fair amount of rowing ability . The Long Distance Race was revived in Michaelmas Term, the President of the 0. U .B.C . believing that this would be an effective way of making , college crews put in more mileage . The course was from Sandford Lock to' Radley Railway Bridge, a distance of 3± miles, and the Hall crew came in sixth in the time of 17 minutes, 28 seconds. Our hopes for Torpids, . on this performance, were naturally high, but af no time .d id the first Torpid fulfi l its expectations, and in the races it was bumped by Balliol and Magdalen, th us dropping from sixth to eighth place. T he second Torpid ; however, made three bumps and · rose to fourth place in Division III. T his crew had its misfortunes, in that W . A . H . Blair fell ill after three days racing, and his place was gallantly taken over by J. L. Di~on. After Torpids, it was decided to send a crew to Chester to take part in the North of England H ead of ·the River Race, and th is proved to be 'a most successful venture. The crew trained hard · on R adley Reach for a fortnight,' and at Chester came in fifth, in the time of 18 minutes, 44 seconds . All the northern clubs were left behind us, those in front being London Rowing Club (the crew which came in second at the. .Putney race in the following week), Shrewsbury School, Downing College, Cambridge, and a Thames Rowing Club crew. It is always well worth while to t ake part in an event of this kind at the end of Hilary Term, since the training for it is an admirable preparation for the more serious business of the s ummer .

Arundel, of Merton, who rowed 6 in the University Boat Race crew, and his great ·efforts were rewarded in that the H a ll boat at last turned the tide on the misfortunes of the previous years by bumping our old rivals, St. John's and Oriel, and finishing the last half of Eights by chasing the House with great zest . We thus rose from the Sth position in Division I to 6th.

The Club

enjoyed the great pleasure of stopping the decline that had been going on since the return to pre-war positions had taken place. Meanwhile, the second eight, despite its relatively high position, rose one place, bumping Corpus I, and -

shall we say the last

twist of the knife?-the Q ueen's I. The crew, however, suffered the usual. bad luck which seems to dog ou r second boats. Again, as in Torpids, W. A. H . Blair fell ill after t h ree days racing, and M. H . A. Boyd stepped in a t once, rowing at 6 '-his first attempt to row on stroke side-while F. F . Nicholls took stroke's thwart. Despite early success, the crew was, on the last day of Eights, bumped by Lincoln I. The second VII I is, however, in a very high position in E ights, and· there are many first boats in various colleges who would be happy to be in its position. A rugby eight was a lso fo unded this term, and it enjoyed rapid progress under the genia l coaching of R . P . H. D avies, yet it failed to win success in a ' getting-on ' race necessary for its entry into the bottom Division of Eights.

This fai lure brought dis-

appointment to many well-wishers of the Rugby Club.

MICHAELMAS TERM

It was decided that the best long-term programme to improve the Hall 's rowing was to m a ke as many members of the Boat Club as possible row as often a:s possible. Therefore, · without expecting startling results, a coxwainless four, a sculler, a novices' four . and two long distance eights were entered for various events in t he M ichaelmas term. The coxwainless IV, consisting of : bow,

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE

R. A. Mason; 2, B. H. Holland; 3, G. R. Kerr; str., G. W. H. Adcock, lost its first heat against St. Peter's Hall by hitting the bank during the race. In the fo llowing week, J. G. M. Scott fought a very plucky race against Leckie, of Brasenose, in the Silver Sculls, but unfortunately lost his heat, althoug h in a fas t time. For his first performance in a race of this nature, however , Scott showed great promise as a sculler . It is a notable factor, indeed,, that it was the first time for ten years, at least, that the Hall had been able to enter so fully into University events as to enter once more for the coxwainless IV's and Silver Sculls events. In the 0. U .B.C. Long Distance race , the Hall crew was deliberately weakened so that the next term 's Torpid should get as much experience as possible. It reached a stage of training whereby it was able to row in the race in a shell VIII, which is at any time a good test of watermanship. An 'Old Man's Eight' (to borrow an identification popular among the Tideway clubs) was a lso formed, to row in a clinker VIII. This crew had two outings before the Long Distance race only, owing to the call on its members to coach freshmen. In the meantime, a Novices' IV, consisting of Winsor-Cundell, Graffy, Foote and Campling (cox) fought a very gallant round against Brasenose, who proved to be the finalists in this event. In the Long Distance race, the Torpid crew, rowing in a shell, turned in the very fast time of 16 minutes, 30 seconds for the distance between Sandford Lock and Radley Railway Bridge, but, despite this ,came in only rnth. This is an indication, perhaps, that Oxford rowing is steadily improving in its standards. The 'Old Man's Boat' put up a mighty performance by .returning a time of 17 minutes, 36 seconds (only 8 seconds slower than the first crew of the previous year), despite its intentional lack of training, and came in 22nd in the race (out of 30). It is a sign of the H all's revived strength in rowing that at the shortest notice two crews could be formed for any event and perform creditably in it. So fa r, the club has not produced startling results , but it may well be that soon circumstances may improve, both in the material we receive from rowing schools, and in the improved system of coaching. We may well find, therefore, that at any time we may form a really great crew, perhaps soon, perhaps in three or four years time. For such an eventuality the H a ll Boat Club is preparing now, so that the men who join the club will find themselves in the best position to improve on the Hall's pre-war rowing g lo ry.

Secretary-R. F. MACKAY. Captain - F. W. CossTICK . This year the H all showed more signs of it's former self, and we had bad luck not to go up into the Second Division. Two onepoint defeats swayed the balance. This term we had the misfortune to draw Trinity in the first round of Cup-ties. W e lost 3-3 2 after a considerably better fight than the score would suggest. Later in the season, however, we somewhat restored our confidence by. beating Lincoln and Queen 's . MICHAELMAS TERM

Captain- J. S . R . LEWIS. Secretary- P. L. RoussEL. This term we have what is probably the strongest side since before the war. We won every match this term except two against Pembroke College, Cambridge and Keble. We have regained a place in the Second Division of the League, a more fitting place for the Hall in the Rugby hierarchy . This was especially creditable, as we had four valuable three-quarters out of action for the entire season, owing to injuries. The Second XV played very hard and showed great enthusiasm under their Captain, H. A. Skinner, and their lack of success in winning their matches can be largely attrib uted to their having to help out the First XV by replacing its casualties. By some turn of Fate, we have drawn Trinity in the Cup-ties next term, but hope to give them a run for their money.

Record: Played 19, ·won 6, Drawn 6, Lost 5, Abandoned

The 1948 Cricket XI, fully representative, would have contained no fewer than 9 Authentics; and its relatively poor record, as compared with the previous two years, was due primarily to the ir;ifrequency with which most of the six · 'ties, taking Schools, were abl.e to play. Of the 17 matches completed, 6 were won, 6 drawn and 5 lost. On nine ~ccasions we made more than 140 runs; a total reached by our opponents only five times. Three of our defeats were suffered by very weak teams, and when well represented, our batting failed badly only when beaten by St. Catherine's, Cambridge, and Eastbourne. We had a memorable last ball victory over the Stoics; a match in which P. P. Eloy made a very fine 78 not out ; and we defeated St. John's, R.A.F., Heyford, Oxford City, and J. Whitehead's XI with considerable ease. Our biggest win, however, was over Hastings and ·St. Leonards, when Law made 54 out of 193 and our opponents were put out for 67 . Notable 'near victories' were played against Imperial College, London (174 to 120 for 8); Emmanuel , Cambridge (180 for 7 declared, to 65 for 7) when D. W. Hall made 63 and M. de L. Hart 47 not out, while P. S. Snell took 5 wickets for 21; and Oriel (148 for 5 declared, to 103 for S), when Eloy made 50. The closest match of all was that against Lewes Priory, when in reply to our 165, they reached 162 for 5 due to a magnificent century by ·Dennis. Only fine captaincy and bowling by Weir saved the day. The tour in Sussex after the term was a great success, thanks largely to D. E. Turner's organisation, and it is hoped that this will become an annual event. Hall, Eloy and Law were the biggest run-getters, while R . F. Mackay was the most consistent batsman. The outstanding bowler was Snell, who on three occasions took 5 or more wickets with his fast-medium in-swingers, and in all took 28 wickets at l l runs apiece. The lack of consistency in some of last year's successful batsmen was equalled by the unevenness of the attack, which in variety and accuracy fell far short of the previous season's. In the field, however, Weir's inspiration was notable, and Law's keeping was of the same high quality as T. M. le Mesurier's in 1947·

Out of twenty-one matches played, the first eleven won ten, lost eight and drew three, while of the second eleven matches played, four were won, four lost and one drawn. During the term, R.

absence of J. H. P. Dawson, S. W. N. Phillips and J. F. G. Sootheran teaching on Diploma of Education courses was keenly felt and made our task more difficult. In Cuppers we drew University College in the first round. This proved a very hard match under difficult and unpleasant conditions; at full time, neither side had scored, but in extra time three goals were scored (by Broome · and Boyd (2)) which put us into the second round against Merton. This we won 3-1 (Boyd 2, Holmes l) i'n an open game. Before this match Mcisaac was unfortunately injured in a Varsity game and was unable to play for the rest of the season. R. F. Benton distinguished himself in Mclsaac's former position, and J .C. Townsend's admirable goal-keeping was another factor which enabled us to reach the quarter finals. In the third round we met Trinity and our vVaterloo, against a side containing ten members of the Occasionals or the University team. We lost o-6. Many of the other matches during the term had to be cancelled owing to bad weather, and unfit grounds, but, of those played, the First Eleven won 2, lost 5 and drew l, while t he Second won 3 and lost 3. At the end of term N. S. Broome was elected Captain for the following season and W. H. A. Tothill Secretary . In concluding the report of this term we should like to record our appreciation of the · spirit with which J. M. S.

PONTIGNY

HE Abbey Church of Pontigny, where the body of our patron, St. Edmund of Abingdon, rests enshrined, suffered considerable damage as the result of the explosion of an ammunition train nearby ; but fortunately the damage done was not nearly as serious as might have been expected from the explosion. The account which follows is based on a letter received in August, 1946 from one of the Fathers of the Order of St. Edmund at Pontigny. In October, 1943 the Maquis, operating in the region of Pontigny succeeded in their project of destroying an ammunition train parked for the night in a small goods-yard which . lies a little to the north of the Abbey Church. The explosion had been timed .to take place after the train had moved off ; but for some reason or other its departure was held up. At least a dozen trucks exploded simultaneously. Every house in the little village of Pontigny suffered some dama:ge, though only one life was lost, as the explosion occurred at about 4 o'clock in the morning. The Abbey Church, standing broadside to the goods-yard, received the full force of the blast. The windows were torn from their sockets, hurled against the opposite wall of the church, to fall Âˇ to the floor shattered beyond recognition. Naturally the north wall suffered most heavily. The roof was so damaged that it has necessitated complete renewal. The gaping holes in it allowed the rain to penetrate into the interior of the building causing a good deal of the plaster covering the stone of the vaulting to crumble and fall, this mostly in the side aisles. But by September, 1945 the Ministry of Fine Arts succeeded in completely re-tiling the roof of the nave and transcepts, as well as that of the side aisles on the south side. The windows have been boarded up temporarily. After the roofing had been made good, the interior dried up rapidly. The main structure Âˇof the building resisted in a marvellous way .the tremendous force of the blow that it received. The ribs of

1::}8

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE

the vaulting show not even the slightest crack, and the damage to the vaulting is confined to fissures in the masonry between the ribs. The re-roofing of the nave was completed in time to enable the church to be re-opened for worship on Whit-Sunday, 1946, and for the pilgrimage to the shrine of St. Edmund to be resumed on the following Monday.

THE DocTRINE OF THE TRINITY. By L. Hodgson, D.D. Nisbet and Co., Ltd. l5s. This volume must be considered one of Dr. H odgson 's most solid contributions to dogmatic theology . The seven chapters which it contains were originally delivered as Croall Lectures before the University of Edinburgh in lg43. They exhibit in a remarkable manner the author's mature and confident grasp of the two fields in which he has already won dist'i nction, the philosophy of religion and the elucidation of Church doctrine. The Scottish audience which was privileged to hear him lecturing must have been first taken aback, and then delighted, to find a Southerner and an Anglican possessing such a mastery of themes of which they thought they had a monopoly. An up-to-date study of the doctrine of the Trinity has for some time been an obvious desideratum of the theologian's bookshelf. So many of the attempts to explain and justify the mystery it enshrines are vitiated by being cast in the mould of nineteenthcentury idealist philosophy. A breath of sane realism sweeps through this book, and it reveals a welcome readiness to take the measure both of modern psychological research and of recent theological movements in this country and on the Continent. So far as the author's own positive contribution to the subject is concerned, the reader will find most meat in the chapters devoted to the nature of revelation and to Trinitarian theology proper. Rejecting the Thomist and the extreme Barthian positions, Dr.

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE

139

Hodgson lays it down that the divine self-disclosure 1s given in acts and is received by those whose eyes have been opened to see their significance. The doctrine of the Trinity is an inference to the nature of God drawn from empirical evidence by God Himself in the revelation reported in Scripture. The key to the mystery of the Triune nature is to be sought in an organic rather than a - mathematical conception of unity. Most of this is fresh and invigorating, although it may be doubted whether the older theologians ever regarded revelation as confined to propositions, and whether the notion of an organic unity is so novel as Dr. Hodgson seems to think. He then proceeds to an analysis of three classical expositions of the doctrine, by St. Augustine, St. Thomas and John Calvin. The choice strikes one as odd,_ for all three are in the same broad stream of thought; and Calvin, at any rate, had little, if anything, to add to his predecessors - although Dr. Hodgson 's Edinburgh audience was probably grateful for the mention of him. One would have thought that a discussion of, say, the Cappadocian synthesis would have provided both a useful addition to the historical picture and a provocative contrast to St. Augustine. In his account of the great African bishop Dr. Hodgson reaches the surprising conclusion that he regarded each of the three Persons in the Godhead as being ' personal in whatever sense the word is used of conscious, intelligent and purposive human beings.' This strikes a bold note in view of the general tendency of historians, Tixeront no less than Harnack, to detect a Modalist strain in his thought. But it is of a piece with the rest of the book, which suggests that the author has brought an original aqd critical mind to bear on his material and has formed his own judgments without regard to other writers. The result is that a welcome jolt is given to prejudices and settled dogmas, and the work of theological research is given a chance of developing in fresh directions. For this, as well as for producing a monograph of rare learning and constructive insight, the theological public has reason to be grateful to Dr. Hodgson. J.N.D.K. MAPS.

Later on we love to trace our prospective holiday route, or even more in retrospect the line of our wanderings by motor car or on foot about our own country, while our memory adorns the straight or sinuous lines on the map with the beauties of field and hedge, heather, wood and streamlet; or with higher ambition to follow the course of train or steamship in distant lands and seas. Most of us have our own little collection of modern maps, but the old maps of the 17th and 18th centuries command a ready sale, and collectors pride themselves on the success of their maphunting rambles about our bookshops. The volume before us deals in its hundred and thirty-eight pages in a masterly and delightful manner with the subject from every point of view. P~imarily it is a scientific work, well fitted to be an embryo surveyor's first textbook. The first six chapters路 are of this character, showing how scientific maIJs are made, taking the . reader by easy stages through the procedure in mapping a room, a farm, a country and a continent. Such terrifying technical 路 terms as ' hachures,' ' azimuthal,' ' Sanson-Flamsteed Sinusoidal Projection ' need not reduce the beginner to despair, for they are explained in the simplest way. We are tempted to feel we could really make a map. But路 the least interesting part of the book is that in which the writers trac~ the history of map-making from the early efforts of the Babylonians and Greeks - among the latter of whom Eratosthenes of Cyrene first realised that the world is round - through the work of Posidonius and Ptolemy to that of John Ruysch, circ: 1508, based on the work of Ptolemy and embodying the discoveries of l ,300 years. By the end of the 16th century the 'Dark Ages of Map-making' were over. We turn then to the advance of the science under Mercator, from whom modern geography and map-making may be 路 said to date. His maps we~e collect~d at Amsterdam in the early 17th century under the title ' Atlas,' the te rm which came to supersede all others for stich a volume of map sheets. The further developments are ably dealt with in a series of most interesting pages . . In Chapter 9 attention is . given to our island in particular. About 1250 A.D. Matthew Paris, a monk, produced manuscript maps of Great Britain. The maps of Christopher Saxton; circ: 1600 A.D., gained widespread circulation. County maps began to

141

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE

appear, such as Richard Blame's map of Somerset m mid-17th century, of which there is a beautiful illustration opposite p. 102 ; also John Speed's map of Middlesex, a two-page illustration between pp. 104-5. Cary's County Maps, circ: 1800 A.D., approximate in clearness and accuracy, though not of course in detail, to modern Ordnance maps, and specimens are not hard to obtain. It is somewhat surprising that two hundred years ago no maps of Brita in in detail existed. The Ordnance Survey must be traced back for its beginning to the rising in favour of Prince Charles Edward in 1745, after which. military roads were planned under General Wade. In this .book developments from that time are traced to the 'Twenties' of the present century. A very interesting last chapter deals with charts - the earliest known being drawn in the Middle Ages, for in classical times seas were not technically mapped, since both Greeks, Romans and Phoenicians were accustomed rather to hug the coast and to draw up sailing direction$ for a ' periplus ' or circumnavigation of the open sea. This then is a book to be read and enjoyed. It is commendably concise, printed on good paper and with abundance of illustrations, including, by the aid of photography, beautiful reproductions of some of the older maps. The perusal of the book is likely to stimulate map-collecting, which the writers . ass ure us can still be carried out at very moderate expense, It may even inspire some scientifically-minded enthusiasts to leave golf clubs and cricket bats at home, and issuing forth with Gunter's chain, theo,d ilite and clinometer to enjoy an innocent and inexpensive holiday in the open air.

THE AULARIAN BOOKSHELF,

1943~8

An impressive array of books relating to Christianity in thought and action has gathered on the Aularian bookshelf during the last six years. In 1946 the Oxford University Press published The New Testament Letters (pp. 220, 7s. 6d.), prefaced and paraphrased by the Bishop of London (matric. 1904), which ha d been originally published in Australia in 1944 Âˇ The Epistles as rendered into modern English by Dr. vVand will be found to have gained a new vitality for the ordinary reader. The five Lenten lectures which he gave in 1947 to a London a udience, reviewing in vigorous outline the general trend of the development

ST. EDMUND HALL :MAGAZINE

of Christianity have been published by Mowbrays under the title of The Spirit of the Church (pp. II6. 5s.). A similar course of lectures which he gave this year, The Latin Doctors, have been published by the Faith Press Lt_d. (pp. 88. 3s. 6d.). The book that he wrote for Lenten reading on the theme God and Goodness (Eyre and Spottiswood, I947; p. i96. 5s. ), has met with SC? large a demand that the first edition has been sold out and a reissue called for. Mention has already been made earlier in the Magazine of the collection of essays, The Anglican Communion: A Survey, which he has edited (O~ford Univ. Press, Ig48; pp. 353. I8s.). In Anglicanism and South India (Camb. Univ . Press, I943; pp. 26. Is.), Dr. L. Hodgson (Vice-Principal, I9I4-I9) makes a thoughtful and impartial approach to the consideration of a problem that deeply concerns the whole. issue of reunion for the Church of England. As all his publisher's copies of Essay in Christian Philosophy and The Grace of God in Faith and Philosophy were destroyed in the course of raids on London in I940, Dr. Hodgson has recast the contents of these two books in Towards a Christian Philosophy (Nisbet and Co., Ltd., I943; pp. I95Âˇ IOS. 6d.). His inaugural lecture as Regius Professor of Divinity, on the subject of Theology in an Age of Science, was published in I944 by the Clarendon Press (pp. I6. 2s.). A review of his important lectures on The Doctrine of the Trinity appears earlier in this issue of the Magazine. In I946 he published a careful statement, for use in international discussions on the subject of Christian reunion, on The Doctrine of the Church as Held and Taught in the Church of England (Basil Blackwell; pp. 30. IS. 6d.). The lecture that he delivered at Wesley House, Cambridge, in October, I946, in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of its foundation, was published by the Cambridge University Press in the following year (pp. 28. Is .. 6d.). Dr. Austin Farrer's (Chaplain and Tutor, I930-5) essay in Metaphysics from the angle of Christianity, Finite and Infinite (Dacre Press, I943; pp. 300. 20s.) has placed him in the forefront of English theologians. His Bampton Lectures, given this year, The Glass of Vision (Dacre Press; pp. I5I. I2S. 6d.), have been published with exemplary expedition. He discusses with great lucidity and conciseness the ways in which God reveals Himself historically to man. Earlier in .this issue of the Magazine mention has been made of the new (3rd) edition of that valued work of reference, A Dictionary of English Church History, which Dr. S. L. Ollard (Vice-Principal,

ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE

143

1903-13) edited first in 1912 with Mr. Gordon Crosse, and has now re-edited with him and Mr. M. F. Bond (Mowbrays, 1948. pp. 718. 30s.). For the sake of completeness, mention, too, should be made again here of Mr. G. D. Ramsay's The Wiltshire Woollen Industry in the 16th and 17th Centuries (Oxford Univ. Press, 1943; pp. 149. Out of print). Dr. P. A. Scholes (matric. 1906) has evidently been working with redoubtable energy. He has produced in The Mirror of Music, 1844-1944 (Novello and Co., Ltd., and Oxford Univ. Press, 1946. 2 vols., liberally illustrated; pp. 964. 52s. 6d.) a most informative and entertaining review of a century of musical progress in England as recorded in the pages of Th e Musical Times. This has been followed this yea r by his two-volume study of The Great Dr. Burney (Oxford Univ. Press, vol i, pp. 379; vol. ii, pp. 438 with many illustrations. 63s. )路which will be indispensable to everyone, be he musical or not, who is interested in the times of Johnson, Reynolds and Burke. Moreover, his Oxford Companion to Music (Oxford Univ. Press, 1945; pp. 1202, 180 plates . 35s.) is now in its sixth edition. Dr. T. H. Croxall(matric. 1915), one of the few Engfo;h students of the Danish thinker, Ki erk~gaard, who can read his works in his native tongue, has furnished in his Kierkegaard Studies (Lutterworth Press , 1948; pp. 路 227. 15s.) a stimulating introduction to an appreciation of Kierkegaard 's teaching. The attention of those Aulari路a ns who are concerned for the religion of schoolboys may be drawn to The Hym n Book of the King's School, Canterbury (printed for the School by the Oxford Univ; Press, 1947)-an excellent school hymnary compiled by the Headmaster, Dr. F. J. Shirley (matric. 1909), and to Th e New T estament Lectionary for Schools (S.C.M., 1943; pp. 48. rs. 6d.) prepared by the Rev. T. C . H eritage (matric. 1926). G. Wilson Knight(matric. 1921) brings religion into touch with literature in Christ and Nie tzche: An Essay in Poetic Wisdom (Staples Press, 1948; pp . 244. i5s.) . Two other books by Knight register challengingly the literary impact of recent world events upon his im agination; they are The Olive and the Sw ord: A Study of Eng land's Shakespeare (Oxford Univ . Press, 1944; pp. 102. 6s.) and Hiroshima: on Prophecy and the Sun-bomb (Dakers, 1946; pp. 131. 6s.). In The Crown of Life: Essays in Interpretation of Shakespeare's .Final Plays (Oxford Univ. Press, 1947; pp. 336. r8s.) he brings to a conclusion his sequence of Shakespearian studies which have won for him a wide reputation 路 as a dramatic

exegete. Knight, who was an assistant master . at Stowe School during the \\Tar, has also written The Dynasty of Stowe (The Fortune Press, 1945; pp. 145, 12 plates. ros. 6d.), in which he skilfully portrays a new school in the setting of the ,historic buildings that incorporate it. Members of 'The Makers,' past and present, have been busy weaving garlands. Geoffrey Grigson (matric. 1924), the father of ' The Makers ' and the literary god-father of m a ny writers of new_ verse takes his own place among the poets with Under the Cliff and Other Poems (Routledge, 1943; pp. 44. 5s.) and The Isles of Scilly and Other Poems (Routledge, 1946; pp. 45. 5s.). In The Weaver Birds and Other Poems (Macmillan, 1944; pp. 84, illustrated. 6s.) Ian Serraillier (matric. 1931) has contrived a charming fantasia on the theme of nursery rhymes that is sure of a permanent place in that rare company of books that are equally pleasing to children and their uncles. Kenneth Allott (matric. 1935) has now to his credit a second volume of verse, The Ventriloquist's Doll (The Cresset Press; pp. 64. 5s.). Experi ences of war-time give power and pathos to To-night is on the Mountain: Po em s, 1941-6 (Oxford Univ. Press, 1948; pp . 30. 5s) by Bryan Cave-Browne-Cave (matric. 1934) and to The Grinning Face and Other Po ems (Routledge, 1948; pp. 95. 6s.) by J. M. Russell (matric. 1947). Geoffrey Grigson's many-sided interests are well evidenced by other books of his , recently published. His love and knowledge of the English countryside is admirably expressed in Wild Flowers in Britain (1944; pp. 48. 4s. 6d.) which he has contributed to the ' Britain in Picture' Series published by Collins. In An English Farmhouse (Max Parrish and Co ., Ltd., 1948; pp. 128 with 30 colour plates, 21s.) he depicts with novel particularity . an anonymous farmstead and its neighbourhood that Âˇis very redolent of a corner of North Wiltshire. His original study, Samuel Palmer, The Visionary Years (Kegan Paul, 1947; pp. 206, 68 plates. 42s.) di rects attention to a landscape-painter of last century who has been unduly neglected and in so doing Grigson discloses his own possibilities as an art historian and critic. He has compiled a second ingenious anthology; Before the R omantics: An Anthology of the Enlightenment (Routledge, 1947; pp. 349. ros. 6d.). E . C.R. Hadfield (matric. 1928) manifests t oo, in his own way, a notable diversity of output. A war-time member of the National Fire Service, he has, in collaboration with Frank E yre , written The Fire Senâ&#x20AC;˘ice To-day (Oxford Univ . Press; pp. 148, with illlustrations . 5s .); a canal enthusiast, he has, in collaboration with the

same friend., contributed English Rivers and 路. Canals (pp~ 47; ip. 6d.) to Collins' ' Britain in Pictures ' Series ; a member of ~ London Borough Council he has written, with J ames E . MacColl; a useful volume on British Local Government (pp. 172. 7s. 6d.) for Hutchinson's University Library . He is also part-author of a book ori Maps which is ~eviewed in this issue of the Magazine. Prof. W. R. Niblett (matric. 1928),, who is editor of Educational Issues of To -day published by the Univ. of London Press, has himself contributed to this timely series Essential Education (pp . rob. 4.~. 6d.), in which he considers the desired synthesis of home and school as factors in the education of children.

Animals of Wes{Africa (Longmans, Green a:nd Co . , Ltd., 1946. pp. 144, illustrated with photographs by the author 3s.) by G. S. eansdale (matric. 1929) should find many interested readers besides the teachers and students in senior schools in the <;:iold Coast anc! _other West African Colonies for which. it was primarily desigoed. Dr. A. E . Bell (matric. 1932) in Christian Huygens and the Development of Science 路in the l7th Century . (Edward Arnold and Co., 1947; pp. 220. l8s.) has broken new ground by writing the first English biography of this great Dutch scientist. Lodeleigh, (Chatto and Windus, 1948; pp. 384. ros . 6d.),,a first d~vel by Paul Burrough (m.atric. 1943) has met with well-merited success and will b,e enjoyed, not least for its Oxonian passages, by all Aularians. He does not disclose in the book. that it was written on small sheets of paper and secreted while he was a prisoner in Japanese hands. 路 Space does not admit of the mention of more _than three or four articles contributed by Aularians to various periodicals .. Professor H. J. Hunt had an ~.rticle on ' St. Joan of Arc .in sorne recent Erench Dramas' i~ ~rench Studies, No. 4 (Oct., 1947). E . G. Rowe (matrit:. 1922), who has been cultivating bird-study as a recreation in Tanganyika, when administrative duties permit, wrote an interesting article on 'The Breeding .Biofogy of Aquila Verreauxi Lesson' for The Ibis, July, 1947路 pp. 387~4ro; Oct., . 1947; pp. 576-606. Clifford Lummis (matric. 1921) turns his recent Army experience to good account in articles on ' Selection in Public and Secondary Schools ' for The Journal of Education for July, 194.5, and on 'The Relation of School Attendance to Employment Records, Army Conduct and P erformance in Tests ' for The British Journal of Educational Psychology for February, 1946.
