TINDALE, Editor G. R. WALMSLEY, Assistant Editor

1959-60: P.

DE PERSONIS ET REBUS AULARIBUS DEATH OF A VISITOR THE DEA TH of the first Earl of Halifax on 23 December last deprived the Hall of its Visitor. By ancient custom the Chancellor of the University was Visitor of the Public Halls, and that arrangement was continued in the Statutes of 1938. In 1956, when new Statutes were being drafted in view of the Hall's approaching change to fully collegiate status, there was some discussion whether the office of Visitor should not be vested in some other person, but it was decided that the historic tradition should not be broken. Lord Halifax, who was then Chancellor, warmly concurred in this, and along with the Principal submitted the Petition to the Queen which was the prelude to the constitutional changes. Although he rarely visited the Hall, he always took a lively interest in its affairs, and was extremely helpful when the plans for the Duke of Edinburgh's visit in 1958 were being made. On that occasion it was he as Visitor who invited Prince Philip to present the Charter, and he took a prominent part in the proceedings. Oxford has rarely had a Chancellor who¡ graced his illustrious office with such dignity or who was more wholeheartedly devoted to the ideals for which the University and its colleges stand.

THE NEW VISITOR THE MAGAZINE warmly welcomes the Right Hon. Maurice Harold Macmillan, P.C., etc., as the Hall's new Visitor. The election to the Chancellorship was held on 3 and 5 March to the accompaniment ;)f considerable public interest and a great deal of attention, not all of it well informed, from the press. As all the world knows, the great majority of the Governing Body joined in nominating Sir I

Oliver Franks, who had been a Trustee of the Hall, mainly on the ground that there might be some advantage in having as Chancellor an eminent man who was not involved in political life or office.

Both the candidates, however, stood high in the regard and affection of the University, and now that the election is over there is general agreement, not least in the Hall, that Oxford has a Chancellor of unique distinction who can be relied to watch over its interests with jealous care. Immediately the result of the election was announced the Principal took the step of writing to Mr. Macmillan offering him the congratulations of the Hall, of which he had become Visitor, and expressing the hope that he would takt:; an early opportunity of making its acquaintance. In his reply the new Chancellor and Visitor, after thanking the Principal, said that he was much looking forward to fulfilling his duties and to paying a visit to the Hall.

THE PRINCIPAL'S PORTRAIT

w AS in September 1935, that the Reverend J. N. D. Kelly, a recent graduate of Queen's and at that time assistant curate at St. Lawrence's, Northampton, took up residence as Chaplain and Tutor. He has thus completed this autunm twenty-five years' close connexion with the Hall, serving successively as Chaplain (1935-7), Vice-Principal (1937-51), and Principal. Early this year the Fellows decided that the occasion should be signalized by the presentation to the Principal of his portrait in oils, and their suggestion was warmly seconded by the Executive Committee of the Aularian Association, which agreed to make itself responsible for a substantial share of the cost. The J.C.R., on being informed, also asked to be associated with the presentation and undertook to make its contribution.

After discussion the artist selected was Mr. Robert Bullier, R.A., whose portraits have been among the most distinguished at successive summer exhibitions of the Royal Academy. Mr. Bullier completed the portrait in the Easter Vacation, and it was formally handed over to Dr. Kelly at the Reunion on 24 June. The presentation was made by the Dean, the Reverend E. G. Midgley, who as both a Fellow and a member of the Executive Committee, and also as himself a former undergraduate of the Principal' s and the present liaison-officer between the S.C.R. and the J.C.R., seemed uniquely qualified to represent all the parties concerned. A brief account of his felicitous speech and of the Principal' s reply will be found in the report of the Reunion. The Magazine for its part would like to congratulate Dr. Kelly most warmly on his silver jubilee, and to wish him many more years of equally happy and useful service to the Hall.

THE PRINCIPAL'S PORTRAIT

THE' VICE-PRINCIPAL AND FELLOWS BETWEEN 5 and 17 February the Vice-Principal was guest scientist of the South African Chemical Institute at its fourth Annual Convention in Capetown, and was invited to lecture before the University there. He also lectured or took part in seminars at the Universities of Stellenbosch, Rhodes, Natal, Witwatersrand and Pretoria, and at numerous research institutes. Along with Mrs. Irving he managed to crowd into a relatively short trip an extensive tour of South Africa, with brief visits to the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland and to Kenya, and was able to look up several families connected with the Hall. The Dean (Rev. E. G. Midgley) has preached at Berkhamsted, Shrewsbury School and Wellington College. Dr. Yardley has once again examined for the Final Honour School of Jurisprudence. In November 1959 he attended the European Symposium on the Administrative Structure of Intermediate Organisations in Milan as United Kingdom delegate. Dr. G. W. Series was granted leave of absence for Hilary and Trinity Terms in order to take up a temporary research and advisory appointment at the Bell Telephone Laboratory, New Jersey, U.S.A. During his stay on the American continent he contrived to visit several universities, including those of Illinois, Chicago, Wisconsin and Harvard, and also Ottawa. As in 1958, Dr. R. B. Mitchell acted as a Director of Studies for the Oxford University International Graduate School during the summer of 1959¡ Mr. G. R. Allen, after once again contesting (unsuccessfully but honourably) Bath at the General Election in the Liberal interest, has been granted leave of absence for the forthcoming year to take up the temporary appointment of Visiting Professor of Agricultural Economics at the University of California. Mr. H. G. Barnes and¡Dr. J. D. Todd have examined for the Final Honour Schools of Modem Languages and Engineering respectively.

PROFESSORIAL PROMOTION of the Rev. J. McManners will join with the Magazine in congratulating him on his appointment to the new chair of History at the University of Sydney. During his brief tenure of the chair of History at Tasmania Mr. McManners has been recognized as one of the leading figures in the intellectual life of the University, and has also played a doughty part in the controversial politics with which its academic calm seems to be continually beset.

While he will be greatly missed at Hobart, his move to Sydney will bring him much more into the centre of the Australian academic stage, and will open up wider opportunities for scholarly achievement.

THE MANY FRIEND s

THE ISAAC WOLFSON RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP IN THE SUMMER of 1959 the Isaac Wolfson Foundation agreed to offer to Oxford University a Research Fellowship in Metallurgy, and expressed the hope that it might be held in the Hall since it was the college to which the Isaac Wolfson Professorship of Metallurgy was already attached. The Governing Body accepted the arrangement with gratitude and caused the Fellowship, which is tenable by highly qualified graduates belonging to any country of the Commonwealth or to Israel, to be advertised. An election was held this summer, and the person appointed is Vivek Baburao Nileshwar, who obtained his B.Sc. with first class honours at Bombay in 1953 and his Ph.D. at Sheffield in 1958. Dr. Nileshwar, who came into residence in October this year, has chosen to investigate the behaviour of certain alloy systems tmder creep-aging conditions.

THE LECTURERS of the Magazine the Hall has lost two valued Lecturers. Mr. J. C. B. Lowe, Lecturer in Classics and sometime Hearne Senior Scholar, has been appointed Lecturer at Bedford College, London, while Dr. F. M. G. Willson, Research Fellow at Nuffield and Lecturer in Politics, has accepted the Chair of Government at the new University College of Rhodesia and Nyasaland. The Hall is grateful to them for the help they have given it in the past few years, and wishes them every happiness and success in their new appointments. Mr. N. G. Wilson, formerly of Corpus and how Research Lecturer at Merton, has been appointed Lecturer in Classics from the beginning of Michaelmas Term, and it is expected that a new Lecturer in Politics will be appointed in due course. The Governing Body has also decided that, as a result of the growth of Modern Greats, the revival at the Hall of Greats and the emergence of the Honour School of Psychology, Philosophy and Physiology, the time has come when the Hall should have a fulltime Lecturer in Philosophy. Its choice has fallen upon Mr. J. C . B. Gosling, B.Phil., M.A., formerly of Ampleforth College, who obtained Firsts in Honour Moderations and Greats at W adham College, was Fereday Research Fellow at St. John's from 1955 to 1958, and has been Lecturer in Philosophy at Wadham and Pembroke Colleges. Mr. Gosling is one of the ablest of the younger philos9phers in the University, and the Magazine hopes that his connection ~th the Hall will be happy and fruitful.

SINCE THE LAST ISSUE

SENIOR SCHOLARS of Hilary Term G. L. Little, having completed his research, resigned from the Hearne Senior Scholarship and went out to Australia (he is a graduate of Melbourne University) to take up the position of Lecturer in English at Sydney University. The Hall wishes him and his wife (who gave admirably efficient secretarial assistance in the Bursary) every success and happiness in the particularly interesting and stimulating university city to which they have gone. In July the Principal and Fellows elected Brian Keith Jeffery, Scholar of Christ Church, as Hearne Senior Scholar. Mr. Jeffery, who was formerly a scholar at The King's School, Canterbury, and obtained a brilliant First in the Honour School of Modern Languages and Literature the day before his election, is a specialist in French philology and proposes to pursue research '.in the field of Middle French vocabulary.

AT THE END

ECCLESIASTICAL PATRONAGE NOT BEING A CORPORATE BODY until 1957, the Hall was in the past ineligible to hold the patronage to an ecclesiastical benefice, but recently, through the gift of Mrs. C. H. Fisher, of 29 Priory Road, W antage, Berkshire, and her sisters, Miss P. Routh and Miss C. Routh, it has acquired a third share in the advowson of St. Oswald's, Hooe, with St. Mary's, Ninfield, Sussex (diocese of Chichester). It shares the right of presentation, as to one turn in three, with the Bishop of Chichester and the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury. Mrs. Fisher and her sisters were moved to make over their share in the advowson to the Hall because the former' s husband, the late Reverend Charles Wilton Fisher, was an Aularian, having been admitted by Dr. Moore in Michaelmas Term, 1890, and having graduated with honours in Theology in 1893. The transfer of the advowson, for which warm thanks are due to Mrs. Fisher and the Misses Routh, was completed in October last year, and it is understood that the Hall will have the responsibility of appointing an incumbent at the next vacancy.

A LEGACY RECEIVED UNDER HER WILL the late Miss Valetta Courtney Evered, of Hampton House, Hereford, who died on 26 September 1958, bequeathed a legacy of ÂŁ100 to the Hall in memory of her brother, the Reverend Ranulph Hamilton Evered. Older Aularians will recall that Mr. Evered died on 28 April 1932; there is a brief obituary about him in the issue of the Magazine for that year. He entered the

5

Hall in Michaelmas Term, 1879, and after being ordained held various ecclesiatical appointments in Gloucestershire, finally becoming Rector of Shenley, in Oxfordshire, in 1922. The Hall is grateful to ' Miss Evered for so generously remembering her brother's college, a'.nd we understand that the Governing Body has arranged for a trust fund bearing her name to be set up, the income from which will be devoted to such purposes as it will from time to time determine.

HEAD OF THE RIVER SILVER AT THE REUNION in 1959 the Aularian Association voted a considerable sum of money for the purchase of a substantial piece of silver in recognition of the unique achievement of the Hall Boat in going head of the river in Eights for the first time. After investigation it was decided that what the high table most urgently needed was a water-jug worthy of the rest of the silver which nightly adorns it. Through the good offices of Mr. E. P. Payne, of Messrs.

Payne and Son, High Street, a splendid example was procured (Mr. Payne, who is an Aularian, himself making a handsome contribution). The jug, which stands nine inches high, was made by Messrs. Wakelin and Wheeler to the design of Mr. F. J. Leggatt. It bears the Hall coat of arms and the following inscription composed

by Mr. T. F. Higham, Emeritus Fellow of Trinity and sometime Public Orator, who for several years taught Hall men for Honour Moderations in Classics:

Ne posteri remigum non essent memores qui mense Maio A.D. MCMLIX octonorum certamine quadriduano tribus deinceps triumphatis adversariis principem apud Isida flumen locum Aulae S. Edmundi primi omnium vindicarunt d.d.

Aularium Societas Five Aularians resident in Sarawak and North Borneo, R. P.H. Davies (matric. 1938), M. J. Forster (matric. 1935), N. S. Haile (matric. 1945), J. Pike (matric. 1946), and M. Pike (matric. 1948) were also so moved by the news of the Boat's success that they resolved to present to the Hall two graceful silver pepper-mills from . Sarawak, along with an ample supply of pepper-corns. For both these generous gestures the Hall is deeply grateful.

OTHER GIFTS THE BEST THANKS of the Hall are due to the following for gifts which they have kindly presented: To the Aularian Association for three silver tankards to commemorate the winning in 1960 of the Rugby Football, the Association Football and the Athletics cups; To Mrs. T. K. Allen for an enlarged photograph, handsomely framed, of the Right Reverend G. B. Allen, sometime Principal and Bishop of Dorchester, to hang in the Bishop Allen Library; To the Conference of the Southern Counties Joint Consultative Committee of Architects, Quantity Surveyors and Builders which met at the Hall from 8 to ro April for a large silver sugar-dredger of traditional design; To the Reverend F. S. W. Simpson (matric. 1926) for a copy of An Answer to a Pamphlet entitled Pietas Oxoniensis, by Thomas Nowell, D.D., printed at Oxford in 1768; ¡ To the Reverend F. M. A. Farrer (matric. 1931) for copies of Lyra Anglicana: Hymns and Sacred Songs (1864) and The Manual of Private Prayers for Christian Households (1869), compiled by the Reverend R. H. Baynes, a member of the Hall who matriculated in 1852 and took his B.A. in 1856.

MSS BELONGING TO THE HALL 1954, in pursuance of a policy agreed by the Principal and Fellows in February 1950, all the MSS in the possession of the Hall, with the exception of those of specifically Aularian interest (such as the diary of the Reverend John Hill), were handed over on permanent loan to the Bodleian Library. Among the reasons for this action were the much greater facilities at the disposal of the Bodleian both for efficiently preserving ancient MSS and for making them available to readers for study, and in taking it the Hall was falling into line with a number of other colleges. The Keeper of W estem Manuscripts, with the aid of his staff, has now prepared a catalogue of the MSS comprising 62 items. One copy of this has been placed in the Old Library for consultation, while a second has been deposited in the Bursary.

IN

FRESH LIGHT ON ST. EDMUND would like to draw the attention of Aularians to C. H. Lawrence's St. Edmund of Abingdon (Clarendon Press, 1960, 60/-). A Lincoln College man who is at present Lecturer at London University, Dr. Lawrence has written one of the most scholarly and illuminating studies of Edmund' s career and personality that has

THE MAGAZINE

appeared. Basically his book is an examination of the two principal medieval lives of the saint (one of them from the pen of Matthew of Paris), and in carrying this out he has not only produced new, authoritative editions of their texts, but has skilfully brought out their literary relationship to each other. At the same time his consideration of the material thus explored has enabled him to make an entirely fresh assessment of their subject and to supply an original explanation of the influence he wielded. Though primarily a scholar and an ascetic, with little taste for public affairs, Edmund managed to make a surprising impact on policy and on administrative development, and Dr. Lawrence traces this, as also the immense respect in which he was always held, to the impression his personal austerities made on thirteenth-century society. The portrait which emerges is a convincing and attractive one, and at several points corrects the one which has hitherto been accepted. Edmund is seen to have been a considerable ecclesiastical statesman, and also a prelate who 'appealed to the popular imagination because he satisfied the profound conviction of simple people that those who ruled the Church should be learned, humble, and holy men'.

FRESH HEARNIANA THROUGH THE KINDNESS of Dr. Emden the Hall has acquired another small relic of Thomas Hearne. This consists of a brief autograph letter, dated 17 March 1715/16, to Ralph Thoresby, the wellknown Yorkshire antiquary. Hearne is inquiring whether his correspondent or any friend of his would care to have a copy of his forthcoming publication, Titi Livii Foro-Iuliensis Vita Henrici Vti. regis Angliae; and the letter has the further interest, as Dr. Emden points out, of being written on an uncommon form of the printed advertising leaflet which the author used for heralding a new publishing venture. The letter is enclosed in a copy of Letters addressed to Thomas Hearne, M.A., of Edmund Hall, edited by F. Ouvry, F.S.A., 1874, and Dr. Emden purchased the lot from an Edinburgh bookseller into whose hands it had come.

A NEW FACE ON THE WORLD now presents to Queen's Lane an immaculate front of coolly yellow stone, the result of an elaborate operation of washing down and, over large areas, re-facing. The work was begun in Trinity Term, 1959, and was continued throughout last winter. The scaffolding came down in November, but the replacement of the lower courses of stonework occupied part of Hilary Term this year THE HALL

THE RESTORED QUEEN'S LANE FACADE

WORK IN PROGRESS ON THE DINING HALL

and the rebuilding of the seventeenth-century porch was only completed in Trinity Term, while the re-gilding of the chronogram over it dragged on into the Long Vacation. Now the job is done, the general effect is in the opinion of most people very pleasing, although there are the romanticists who regret the crumbled, murky stone. The major share of the cost has been defrayed by the Oxford Historic Buildings Trust, to which warm thanks are due, but the Hall has had its own substantial burden to shoulder. This is because the fac;ade of the Principal' s Lodgings south of the drawingroom was built after I 800, the date beyond which the Trust does not reckon a building 'historic', and also because the Governing Body decided that the porch, which the Trust's agents did not consider sufficiently dilapidated, must be restored if it was not to look too shabby in comparison with the rest of the gleaming frontage. In Trinity Term this year, to the exasperation of the undergraduates preparing for the Summer Ball, the scaffolding reappeared in front of the dining-hall and the west side of the quadrangle generally, and, after a futile delay which rendered its premature erection unaccountable, a similar process of washing down and re-facing was commenced. This is the last phase contemplated in the restoration plan, for the rest of the older buildings are judged to be in a suitable state of repair. Two pictures, one of the completed exterior and the other of the west end of the quadrangle in process of being cleaned, have been included in this issue.

STILL MORE ACCOMMODATION the Bursar was able, by skilful adaptations, to bring a few more rooms into use, and the total number of undergraduates accommodated in college has now risen to 134. This is all the more gratifying as the number of rooms at the disposal of Fellows, Research Fellows and Lecturers has also been increased.

As a result the Hall is becoming able to exercise a more generous policy in offering rooms in college to undergraduates. Since the early 'thirties, when the Canterbury Building came into use, the arrangement has been to give the great majority only one year in college, a second year being granted to the J.C.R. officials, the sacristans and the secretaries of the larger games clubs. From Michaelmas Term, 1960, this is being substantially improved upon, and in addition to these all scholars and a handful of commoners as well are being allowed a second year in college. Efforts are also being made to improve the situation of postgraduate students from other THIS SUMMER

9

universities, who have hitherto, except for Rhodes Scholars and a few lucky ones, been consigned to lodgings for the whole of their course, and it is hoped from now on to give such of these as are unmarried, and especially those who come from overseas, one year in college. The ultimate objective aimed at by the Governing Body is that all undergraduates should have two years in and all unmarried postgraduates from other universities one year in, and the start which has been made this year is a welcome step in that direction.

ROYAL SOCIETY TERCENTENARY ON THURSDAY 2 r JULY special ceremonies were held in Oxford in celebration of the tercentenary of the foundation of the Royal Society, and great numbers of Fellows of the Society and their wives, along with distinguished scientists and scholars from all nations, poured into the city to attend an extraordinary degree ceremony and a garden party. The Hall took its share with the other colleges in looking after the visitors, and the Principal and Fellows entertained a party of them to luncheon in the Emden Room. The Hall's own F.R.S., Professor Hume-Rothery, was of course present with Mrs. Hume-Rothery, and the guests included scholars from Canada, fudia and Malta.

OLYMPIC HONOURS FOR ONE INSTITUTION among hundreds the Hall has made a very impressive contribution to the British effort at the Olympic Games held at Rome this summer, and it is fitting that it should be placed on record. Three members of the Oxford University Eight (the first O.U. Eight ever to take part in the Olympic Games) were Aularians in residence-R. C. I. Bate, R. L S. Fishlock, and the coxswain, P. J. Reynolds. The British Olympic Hockey Team contained I. D. Taylor, also an undergraduate in residence, and C. J. D. Saunders-Griffiths, who matriculated in 1950; while J. B. Wakefield (matric. 1953) was selected as reserve goal-keeper for the British Olympic Soccer Team. In addition the British 'Olympic Fencing Team included that highly experienced swordsman, A. L. N. Jay, who was up at the Hall 1951-54, and who won a silver medal in the individual epee as well as leading the British team which came second in team epee.

GRANTS AND A PRIZE it proved possible to make three grants from the Graham Hamilton Travel Fund. One of these went to J. H. Phillips, who was planning to drive a bus to Turkey, taking in Yugoslavia and Greece and many other countries, and one each to J. M. Austin and D. W. Wilson, whose programmes envisaged lengthy voy;iges by canoe on the rivers and canals of France. As usual, two Francis Bennion Prizes, one of ÂŁro and one of ÂŁ5 in books, were offered for an essay in Jurisprudence. The subject was 'The Ubiquity of N~gligence', and the first prize was awarded to W. W. Budden, Scholar of the Hall. The second prize was not awarded.

THIS YEAR

OFFICERS OF THE JUNIOR COMMON ROOM elected at the end of Hilary Term, 1960, to hold office until the end of Hilary Term, 1961, were: President: R. D. Haddon; Steward: W. S. Yeowart; Treasurer: B. C. T. Morris.

THE OFFICERS

THE SUMMER BALL this year was nautical, and the Forum went to sea, being cunningly disguised as the forward deck of an ocean liner.

The balcony became the bridge, the ceiling was dressed overall with miles of bunting, lifeboats and lifebelts hm1g along the side rails, and, ahead of us, loomed the skyline of New York, with thousands of lighted windows, dwarfing but in no way suppressing the liveliness of Nat Temple and his band who again played for us.

The Front Quad, with floodlights and fairy lights and flowers and fountain, was then left to rely on its own beauty, which it did magnificently. Hotter music was provided in the Dining Hall for those who felt the need, and-a new addition to the evening-a West Indian steel band specially transported from Birmingham by the Rev. Paul Burrough, provided the most gentle and melodic new noise the Hall had heard for many a year.

The Dance Committee must be warmly congratulated on all their work and arrangements and the Magazine would also like to thank the small group of backroom boys, or, rather, Forum-cellar boys, who so skilfully created lifeboats and fllllllels and skyscrapers to fit out this evening's cruise.

The Annual General Meeting of the Aularian Association was held after Chapel in the Emden Room. The Treasurer summarized the accounts. The President aimounced that the following allocations had been made by the Executive Committee: £550 for the Magazine; £300 towards the portrait of the Principal; £400 to the Scholarship Fund; £50 to the Sports Grant Fund and £25 for a tankard to commemorate the sporting achievements of the year.

The retiring members of the Executive Committee, Messrs.

Broadhead, Hayes and Waye were re-elected. Mr. Desmond Day was elected as the third representative of the decade 1945-54. The Hon. Treasurer and the Hon. Secretary were re-elected.

It was agreed to hold future Annual General Meetings before the Reunion Dinner and not after it as heretofore. The next Reunion was fixed for 24 June 1961.

After the Reunion Dinner the portrait of the Principal, painted

by Mr. Robert Buhler, was presented to him by the Reverend Graham Midgley. Mr. Midgley, fittingly chosen to represent the subscribers (Fellows, undergraduates, and the Association), paid 15

tribute to the Principal in a speech in which perceptive appreciation, felicity of expression and apt quotation were admirably mingled. In reply the Principal spoke of his beginnings as a shy tutor, of the joy and happiness in friendship which his 25 years at the Hall had brought to him and of the progress of our Society, noble and fine in each generation. Mr. Emden explained that he had risked excommunication in stealing the Principal from the Bishop of Peterborough. Mr. Norman Fisher, as a representative of the early thirties, paid a felicitous tribute to Dr. Kelly. The Principal suitably replied; and finally Mr. Burrough proposed the toast of Mr. Emden and led the singing of a calypso composed specially for the occasion. Altogether a memorable evening.

L.W.H. LONDON DINNER, 1960 gathered at Simpson's in the Strand for the Annual London gathering on Tuesday, 12 January, and, seated according to their years, devoured a splendid dinner and managed to talk and gossip with animation at the same time.

Everyone was delighted to see J. B. Allan, the Honorary Treasurer in the chair, looking the picture of health. Illness prevented him from attending last year and making the speech of the evening, but he made up for this amply and entertainingly in a speech of reminiscence and welcome to the chief guest of the evening, the Principal.

The Principal replied and spoke of his twenty five years at the Hall and his many and varied memories of the Hall and the London dinners. He gave us the news that the Hall indeed flourished.

As usual closing time seemed to come round all too quickly.

There was so much more to talk about and so many people one had only had time to wave to and say 'Hullo'. In tubes, trains and coffee bars conversations carried on. The informality of the London Dinner and the possibility of talk and drink after dinner, make this one of the best Aularian occasions of the year, and we hope that numbers grow year by year. Any Aularian who lives within striking distance of London and does not attend is missing a really enjoyable evening.

Among those present were: The Principal, The Rev. J. S. Brewis, C. F. W. R. Gullick, Professor H.J. Hunt, J. F. A. Porter. The Bishop of Tonbridge (1919), S. Cox, C. Lummis (1921), E. P. Brice, A. R.

LEEDS DINNER, 1959 13 NOVEMBER 1959, a Dinner was held in the Headmaster's Study, Leeds Grammar School, for Aularians in the area. Fifteen Aularians were present, and apologies for absence had been received from some dozen more. Our guest of honour was the Senior Tutor of the Hall, Mr. C. F. W.R. Gullick. The Chair was taken and the toast of 'Floreat Aula' proposed by Alderman J. S. Tennant, who spoke of his own days at the Hall when Dr. Moore was Principal and when the fate of the Hall still hung in the balance.

In his reply, Mr. Gullick referred to current Hall plans for expansion, and to its recent successes and notorieties.

The dinner and arrangements for the evening were greatly appreciated by all present, and credit is due to the School caterers for providing an excellent meal and to the self-appointed organizers, Mr. Woodford and Mr. Johnston for placing the facilities of the school at our disposal and for collecting the money respectively.

After dinner the company adjourned to the Library where port was circulated and coffee and dessert served. Conversation flowed freely and it was late before the last of the party dispersed to their homes.

It is hoped to make this occasion an annual one:--there appears to be no lack of Aularians in this part of the world-and tentative plans have been made for the Principal to be our guest at a similar dinner in November 1960. This would be held on a Friday as near as possible the Feast of St. Edmund on the l6th. If any Aularian within striking distance of Leeds would like to have further details he should write to G. K. Johnston, The Grammar School, Leeds 6.

OBITUARIES Harold Gray Dawber, M.A., died suddenly of coronary thrombosis on 2 May 1957· Brought up at Stockport Grammar School, he entered the Hall in 1934· He served during the war in the Intelligence Corps, and in 1950 moved from Northumberland to Sheffield to take up the appointment of Assistant to the Director (Further Education) in the City Education Office. In 1956 he exchanged it for an educational and training appointment with the National Coal Board. He left a widow and three children.

The Right Reverend Robert Leighton Hodson, M.A., died in a hospital at Llandudno on 8 January 1960, aged 74 years. After leaving Berkhamsted School he entered the Hall in 1905 and, after taking his degree in Modern History, proceeded to Lichfield Theological College. During the First War he served as Chaplain to the Forces, and after holding various livings he became Rector of St. Peter' s Collegiate Church, Wolverhampton, in 1929. Later he became Archdeacon of Stafford and Canon of Lichfield, and in 1936 Canon Residentiary and Precentor. From 1944 until last year he was Bishop Suffragan of Shrewsbury. At the time of his death he was Provost of the Midland Division of the Woodard Schools, having been installed in that office at Denstone College in 1950.

Dr. Herschel Maurice Margoliouth, Fellow of Oriel College and for many years Secretary of Faculties of the University, died at Oxford on 20 March 1959· An exact and learned student of English literature who published a number of studies of the poets, he held the position of Tutor in English Literature at the Hall and University College from 1919 to 1920, and can thus be reckoned one of the founders of the flourishing school of English which has been one of the Hall's main contributions to Oxford in the past two generations.

Keith Roland Mills, B.A., died at his home near Manchester on 22 May 1959, at the age of 26 years and a hal£ A pupil of Cheadle Hulme Grammar School, he entered the Hall as an Open Scholar in Modem History in 1953· When he died in tragic circumstances he was an assistant master at Olwood Secondary School, Portway, Wythenshawe, and stood high in the esteem both of his colleagues and of those whom he taught.

Educated himself at the Church of England School, Coundon, Northumberland, he spent the whole of his professional life in the City of Oxford School, where he was known to generations of boys for his teaching of Scripture (his original intention had been to be ordained), his vigorous interest in every school activity, and the sure hand with which he guided the very young, the shy and the 'difficult'. A mine of information about the University, he loved to conduct visitors around and introduce them to the stonework, the paintings and the architecture.

CLUBS AND SOCIETIES THE DEBATING SOCIETY

MICHAELMAS TERM President: D. D. WoTHERSPOON Vice-President: J. M. DENING Secretary: C. WYMER was not encouraging. The efforts of the officers seemed constantly baulked by fate and some other factors. Eventually two debates took place.

At the first the President moved the motion 'That there is too much emphasis on sport in the modern University'. He spoke of the need for balance in one's development. Mr. W. I. Plant opposed the motion with a speech characteristically approving of sport. The House generally thought balance a good thing.

At the Committee debate the Vice-President moved 'That Columbus went just too far'. He was opposed by the Secretary, while Mr. W. S. Yeowart and Mr. R. S. Macleod (ex-President) spoke third and fourth. There was some mention of America and an authoritative discussion of Columbus. For the rest the arguments and ancedotes were diverse and wondrous.

THIS TERM

HILARY TERM President: J.M. DENING Vice-President: C. WYMER Secretary: W. S. YEOWART The first debate 'That Christianity has no place in contemporary society' showed a revival in attendance and discussion. Mr. D. Ritson proposed and Mr. A. G. Furness opposed, while the Secretary and Mr. H. Wilcox spoke third and fourth. Interesting and even remarkable arguments were advanced from various sources.

In the Committee debate Mr. R. C. Holt moved 'That this house prefers the cult of the nude to the cant of the prude'. Despite this outrageous motion the House remained cool and authoritative, rising only occasionally to lyrical heights. Mr. C. J. Etherington opposed and the Vice-President and the President spoke third and fourth. This was a fairly happy debate.

The Debating Society has apparently passed through a crisis; may we hope that the lean period is over and that it will again flourish with its ancient honour and renown.

THE ESSAY SOCIETY

MICHAELMAS TERM President: A. J. FEATHERSTONE 'GREEN FOR .. .' what? was the question we asked ourselves before G. R. Mihell' s first essay of term which was, in fact on the subject of Ireland, her historical background and the present trends in religion and economics there. Mr. R. J. Bishop, influenced by a passage of Dr. Zivago tried to find a rational basis for the life eternal.

Mr. D. I. Scargill brought us down to good Yorkshire earth in his essay 'Over the Garden Wall', analysing with a touching sadness the development of town living. J. M. Mander considered Freedom, its limits and its demands on us, while J. D. Kesby analysed Toynbee's attempt to impose a cyclic pattern on the history of civilisation.

Mr. B. A. J. Walshaw discussed the difficulties of communication when using abstract terms. The President concluded the term's essays by looking at people through the eyes of a waiter.

A.J.F.

HILARY TERM President: J. B.

w ALMSLEY

Mr. J. N. Aptaker, in an essay provocatively called 'Am Q' 'Shay Oref' began the term by enquiring into the problems which face the Jew, in preserving a traditional way of life and worship at the same time as he adopts a new and foreign culture. Mr. W. E. Budden proposed to explore our Constitutions vulnerability to dictatorship by Cabinet or Prime Minister. Mr. J. A. Thrower in 'De Anima' after wresting the soul first from the linguistic philosophers and finally from the hands of God, put the discussion firmly into the context of the machine age and 'The Hidden Persuaders'.

In his essay 'Humour' Mr. J. N. Davie analysed Henri Bergson's essay, which he proceeded to evaluate in a scholarly way. With Zeno as his confessor, Mr. H. Lawson plumbed new mystical depths, whose spiritual essence he found enshrined in the cigarette. The President-elect, Mr. B. D. Kingstone, in an essay entitled 'What Problem?' brought evidence to show that the 'teenage problem' was neither easily located nor clearly defined. At the last meeting of term, the President distilled the essence of his experience, affirming an everlasting faith ill the superiority of imagination over fact, and of honest opinion over mere knowledge.

J.B.W. 35

TRINITY TERM President: B. D. KINGSTONE We began thi:.s term with Mr. Stewart's essay on capital ptmishment, presented by him as inhuman retribution which did not deter the murderer at all. Mr. Fowler took us back to the American Civil War, being ma;Unly concerned with Abraliam Lincoln and the extraordinary le~end which has spring up around him. Mr. Cotton confronted us ~th the potential horrors of a nuclear war and the possibility of a phased programme of world disarmament. Mr. Wiley made a v..i-elcome descent from the ex-Presidential Pantheon to plead for the individual's right to work out a scale of values and hold them in the:: face of a world sold on success. Mr. Page contrasted the faith of St. Brancis Xavier with the aimlessness of a life without God. The follo-..wing week Mr. Furness described for us three unsatisfactory atte·mpts to attain perfection outside religion. The President saw fit to discuss the joys of not thinking-and found himself surrounded l>y lovers of popular songs.

THE MUSICAL SOCIETY President: G. R. CROSSE Secretary: D. H. PHILLIPS · THE PAST ~EAR the activities of the Society have been devoted to the presentatiwn of three concerts.

On Tuesday, 8 March 1960, a concert of choral music was held in the church C)f St. Peter-in-the-East at which two works were performed:

IN

Schutz Mozart

Soloists: JAQUELINE\ GORBOULD (Soprano) RON STAMPER (Tenor) vALE~ SWIFT (Contralto) RAY SMITHERS (Bass) Violins: MicHAEL BALL and RICHARD HARRISON Double Bass: PETER LUCKER Organ: JOHN BURROWS Conducted by DAVID PHILLIPS

On the Thursday of Eights Week, following Hall tradition, a concert was given in the Quadrangle on a perfect summer evening.

The programme consisted of vocal and instrumental music including first performances of a sonatina for piano and a sonatina for soprano, tenor and piano by a member of the Hall, James Harpham.

On Tuesday, 3r May, the Society Choir and John Burrows (organ), in collaboration with Magdalen College Music Club, took part in a concert in Magdalen Chapel given in aid of the World Refugee Year. The contribution from the Hall Musical Society was as follows:

THE JOHN OLDHAM SOCIETY

MICHAELMAS TERM President: G. R. MrHELL

Secretary: B. F. TAYLOR

THE ONLY ACTIVITY this term was the production entered for the O.U.D.S. one-act Cuppers competition. We entered Sartre's 'Men without Shadows' produced by John Wells, the leading parts being taken by W. Yeowart and F. di Rienzo and J. Roche. We were fairly successful, being placed third in the final order.

HILARY TERM Several play readings were held this term, the female parts being read by ladies of Somerville College.

TRINITY TERM President: B. F. Secretary: D.

TAYLOR

MURRAY-JOHN

This term is the term of greatest activity for the Society when it mounts its summer production. The President, Brian Taylor, produced this-Sheridan's 'The Critic', a review of which appears elsewhere in this Magazine.

A Society Dinner was held on Monday, 30 May, the company being greatly entertained by speeches from Mr. Alton, Mr. Binks, and Mr. Wells.

The term's activities were wound up with a most enjoyable reading of 'The Doctor's Dilemna' with ladies from St. Hugh's College as our guests.

THE HEARNE SOCIETY President: T. R.

Secretary: A. P.

WILSON

MICHAELMAS TERM AT THE FIRST MEETING of term Mr. A. G. Furness read a paper on 'Some aspects of Witchcraft'. Dealing with witchcraft in its peak period between 1450 and 1750, Mr. Furness exposed a lurid side of European history which finds little place in the textbooks of the period.

At the second and last meeting of term, The Chaplain, who kindly filled the gap caused by the loss of two of the advertised speakers through illness, read a paper on 'The Church in Milan in the Eleventh Century'. The Chaplain considered the career of Aribert II, Archbishop of Milan in the period prior to the Hildebrandine reforms.

HILARY TERM At the first meeting of term Mr. H. M. Colvin of St. Jolm's College read a paper, illustrated by plans and photographs, on 'The mediaeval defences of Calais'.

At the second meeting of term Mr. R. H. C. Davis of Merton College gave the Society practical advice on 'How to be a mediaeval king'. Having instructed us how to obtain a crown, Mr. Davis went on to tell us how to keep it, interspersing his advice with fascinating examples of those who had left his counsel unheeded.

'The Role of Intellectuals in Society' was the subject of the term's third paper by Dr. A. L. Rowse. The intellectual should respect those in authority, but combine this with the clarifying, expounding and interpreting of the truth. The intellectual' s watchword should be 'Responsibility'.

In his presidential paper, Mr. T. R. Ball traced the history of 'The Egyptian Campaign', enlivening the narrative with character sketches of the officers involved, placing the campaign in the wider context of the Napoleonic wars.

s.c.w.

THE LIDDON SOCIETY MICHAELMAS TERM President: J. A. FLETCHER Secretary: D. L. BARTLES-SMITH THE LIDDON SOCIETY began the year with the institution of a terminal card and a successful membership drive. The first meeting of term was addressed by Canon G. B. Bentley. Speaking on 'Prostitution and Homosexuality', he pointed out that the Christian in following Christ's example should feel a special responsibility toward those outcast by society.

The second meeting was addressed by the Rev. Fr. S. M. Gibbard S.S.J.E., who in a talk entitled 'Religion in Russia' enlivened and enlightened the society with the experiences of the Anglican monastic group whose trip to Russia he had led.

At the next meeting Mr. Keith Thompson, the principal probation officer for the County of Oxford came to speak on 'Crime, Religion, and the Probation Officer'. This was a most interesting talk since few members were well-informed, if at all, about the background, scope, and problems of this work.

The last meeting of term was addressed by the Lord Abbot of Nashdom on 'The Problem of Suffering and Pain'. He gave much food for thought, especially in his contention that it is pain and discomfort that has driven mankind forward to build up civilization.

HILARY TERM The term opened with Dr. E. L. Mascall's talk on 'The so-called Proofs for the Existence of God'. In a learned and often witty address Dr. Mascall took the Society through the five proofs of Aquinas and discussed the problems of transcendent being and contingency.

39

THE MISSION The Mission to the University took place in third week and Rev. Fr. S. M. Gibbard S.S.J.E. was the college missioner. The Society arranged a Brains Trust, and a panel consisting of Fr. Gibbard, Dr. Hindmarsh, and the Chaplain, with the Dean as Chairman, answered a variety of questions about Christianity. The Society also arranged that every member of the Hall should be invited to a coffee, tea, or sherry party during the Mission to meet the college missioner.

Discussions were held every evening after the talks in the Sheldonian by the Archbishop of York.

The third meeting of term was addressed by the Vice-Principal of Wycliffe Hall, the Rev. Stuart Blanche on 'What is the Church's Authority?' He rejected the view that either the Pope or the Bible could be regarded as the ultimate authority. His conclusion was that the Authority of the Church rests on five criteria: the Scriptures, the concensus of Christian opinion throughout the ages, the exercise of reason, the illumination and assurance of the Holy Spirit, and the order and discipline of the Church to which we have volw1tarily attached ourselves.

The last meeting of term was visited by the Principal of Mansfield College who gave a devotional address on 'The Atonement' which was most helpful.

The Annual General Meeting was held this term, and also the Society's Dinner at which the guests of honour were the Principal, and an ex-President of the Society, the Principal ofRipon Hall.

TRINITY TERM President: D. L. BARTLES-SMITH

Secretary: H. E.

WILCOX

At the first meeting of the term the Rev. Benjamin Drewery, the Methodist chaplain to the University, addressed the Society on 'How do we read the Bible?' and gave an essentially practical and simple guide, aimed, as he said, at helping the educated person, who, interested in the Bible is bound to find it something of a problem.

The second meeting of term was unusual in that not only was the speaker an undergraduate, but also that a lively discussion-as opposed to question and answer-took place after the talk. Mr. David Batchelor of Merton College, President of the 0. U. Humanist Group spoke on 'The Empirical Basis of Humanism'.

The last meeting was a joint one held with The Hearne Society and was probably the highlight of the term. The Ven. Cec~ Plaxton, Archdeacon ofWiltshire and an Old Aularian, gave a talk illustrated with slides on 'Saint Edmund of Abingdon'. It was said afterwards

40

that so enthralling a lecture should be made an essential ingredient of freshmen's initiation into Hall life, since so many of us know so little about Saint Edmnnd.

THE SOCIETY OF COSMOGRAPHERS President: M. H. BOTTOMLEY

Secretary: A. B. HOLDSWORTH

AS HAS BEEN CUSTOMARY in recent years, new members were introduced at the Michaelmas Term cocktail party. Some however preferred to pass Prelims before they felt able to assume their places as Cosmographers.

The annual buffet dinner, however, saw a full complement of Cosmographers gathered in the Emden Room to celebrate once more the society's dual role of social and academic amity. We were pleased to welcome Professor Wesley Calef of the University of Chicago and Dr. Houston of our own School of Geography as our special guests. After the President's introductory words which included congratulations to Mr. D. C. Ford on his appointment as Lecturer in Geomorphology at McMaster University, Ontario, and a plea for the Herbertson Society, Dr. Houston spoke first on behalf of the guests. Professor Wesley Calef then told us of his experiences as a boy on his uncle's farm in the western United States. Finally we would like to thank G. N. J. Smart's father for the magnificent salmon he kindly donated to the feast.

Starting by outlining the present difficulties encountered at ordinary frequencies, he discussed the possibilities of transmission in the microwave range.

At the other meeting of the society papers were read by members, Mr. K. D. Leaver expounding on 'The Properties of Thin Magnetic 41

THE CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE SOCIETY President: J.

N. DAVIE

,

has continued with a full and varied programme this year and seems to meet a genuine demand. Meetings have been quite well attended and as a result the discussions after the papers have been spirited and enjoyable.

At the first meeting of the Michaelmas Term, E. P. Smith, read a paper on the poetry of W. B. Yeats. Another poet of vital interest, .

Dylan Thomas, was the subject of the second meeting which was addressed by G. E. Wiley. In the final meeting of the Michaelmas Term, J. D. Kesby guided the society safely to new ground with a very lucid study of Jung and Freud, whose ideas were outlined and compared. .

Two meetings were held in the Hilary Term. At the first of these C. Wymer presented a study of Sir Charles Snow's 'Two Cultures' of science and the arts. The next meeting took the form of a group reading of a few modem poems with discussion.

Finally Rilk.e was the subject of J. H. Alexander's paper at the first meeting of Trinity Term.

The Society is grateful to the Dean who has again most generously allowed its meetings to be held in his room.

was revived in Hall this year and we entered a team both in the Cuppers and in the League competitions. Despite a very weak tail, the team did reasonably well, and although we were knocked out of Cuppers in the second round by Christ Church, we came eighth out of twenty-one in the first division.

J. N. Davie did extremely well to reach the last eight in the 0. U. individual knock-out competition, beating several notable players.

M. 0-Joy and M.A. Voisey were elected to the Unicorns, the O.U. second team.

TWO FOURS were entered for the Coxwainless IV's event.

Mr. D. H. Mays-Smith coached the first IV before term and generously invited them to stay at his home in Shiplake. Using the new boat the crew settled down immediately. Dr. D. H. Richards and M. J. W. Hall continued the coaching and the crew made good progress.

In the first two rounds Oriel and Trinity were defeated easily. In the semi-final Magdalen were beaten by 4! seconds, the time of 6 minutes 49 seconds being the fastest recorded time for the event.

In the final Hall beat Keble by 4 seconds in a time of 7 minutes 8 seconds. This was the Hall's first victory in this event.

The second IV was coached by R. C. I. Bate and R. S. L. Fishlock.

They won the first round easily, defeated Pembroke by 4 seconds, but lost to Keble in the semi-final by I second.

In the Pairs the Hall was represented by R. C. I. Bate and R. S. L. Fishlock and also by S. C. H. Douglas-Mann and M. J. W. Hall of Lincoln. These pairs were drawn against each other in the first round. Douglas-Mann and Hall won and went on to defeat St. John's and Trinity/University, meeting in the final Magdalen/Keble who won in 7 minutes 17 seconds.

In the Christ Church Regattta the shell crew was limited by its lack of coaching. The Eight got to the final comfortably but was defeated by St. Catherine's by i of a length.

At a Regatta organised by London R.C. the shell Eight took the winner of the event, London R.C. to the closest margin.

D. S. Dormer, C. W. Holden, R. C. I. Bate, R. S. L. Fishlock, and P. J. Reynolds were awarded Senior Trial Caps and all were asked back for the Blue Boat selection at the beginning of Hilary Term. B. T. C. Morris, M. L. Pelham, and A. J. Goddard rowed in Junior Trials.

HILARY TERM The first Torpid came up a week before term and was coached by Mr. C. E. L. Mather. M. L. Pelham took the next three weeks of training and J. L. Fage, who was coaching the Blue boat, took the crew for the week before the races.

A new system ofTorpids was tried this term. Starting in divisions of six in line ahead, the crews split into two lanes, crews A, C, and E on the Oxfordshire station, crews B, D, and Fon the towpath, and so raced through the Gut. Above this they divided into three lanes, crews A and D in the centre, B and F on the towpath and C and E along the willows. The order in which the boats passed the post determined the next day's starting order. Bumping was allowed only above the Gut, the bumped boat racing on to the finish but the bumper stopping and starting next day above its victin1 or one place above that in which it had started, whichever was higher.

On the first night the Hall went Head, having overtaken Balliol.

Balliol were also overtaken by Christ Church. On the next night Christ Church overtook the Hall and finished ! a length up. On the Friday the crew was told not to retain the Head and rowed over.

Saturday witnessed a very exciting struggle. At the Concrete Bridge the crews were on stations, at the Gut the Hall closed only very slightly. At the O.U.B.C. the crews were overlapping, but with a magnificent effort the Hall rowed right by to regain the Headship by a length and a quarter. ¡ The Second Torpid consisted again of Novices, and five weeks' training failed to produce a crew capable of starting as high in the order as they did.

After Torpids those wishing to row in the Head of the River Race at Putney were re-formed into two crews. The first crew rowed disappointingly and finished 17th. The second crew finished 71st having started in the bottom position on the river.

TRINITY TERM The First Eight started training on Easter Tuesday under the Rev. ]. P. Burrough. At the end of the second week Dr. D. H. Richards took over and the crew made rapid progress. A fortnight before the races Mr. D. H. Mays-Smith took over and added the fmal polish to the crew. The Headship was comfortably retained, opening up the interval to three or four lengths each night.

The Second Eight started training under R. S. L. Fishlock and he and his successor R. C. I. Bate raised the standard throughout the crew. M. L. Pelham brought the crew up to racing pitch. On the first night they bumped St. Peter's Hall. On Thursday they twice got within three feet ofWadham I but failed to make the fmal kill.

On Friday they were three feet away and going up fast when Wadham bumped St. Catherine's. Saturday was an unfortunate day.

The bungline man gave the wrong order and the crew started pointing to the bank, clashed with it, and were bumped.

The Third Eight (Schools) was bumped on Wednesday and Saturday, rowing over on the middle two days. The Fourth Eight was bumped each nig!it.

Officers for next year: P. J. Reynolds, Captain; B. C. T. Morris, Secretary; C. W. Holden, Vice-Captain.

HENLEY REGATTA, 1959 The Rev. J. P. Burrough coached the crew who arrived at Henley without any previous racing experience, for the final stage of training. The first round was won easily. On the Thursday the Hall lost to Emmanuel College, Cambridge by 3 feet. Emmanuel lost in the final to L.M.B.C. by 1-l lengths.

A Wyfold IV was formed from the Second Eight and coached by R. S. L. Fishlock. They won comfortably in the first round, but were defeated by Pembroke College, Cambridge on the Thursday.

On the same day S. C. H. Douglas-Mann and M.]. W. Hall of Lincoln College lost to Norton and Scofield of Hertford College in the Goblets. The Hertford pair went on to win.

In the Stewards' however the St. Edmund Hall and Lincoln College IV won each day and on Saturday defeated Motto Guzzi of Italy. This was the first Henley event to be won by the Hall.

THE CRICKET CLUB CRICKET this summer has suffered from the English rains, but could one hope for a repeat oflast year's perfect weather? These inclemencies on three occasions prevented satisfactory conclusions, producing irritating draws, whilst in six further fixtures, activities did not even commence.

What cricket there has been, however, revives one's faith in the summer game. There has been abundant talent and enthusiasm.

Brilliant individual performances have been few. The policy of winning, but not quite at all costs, has produced exciting victories and defeats, the game against the S.O.A. being an example of the former, whilst the Caius, Cambridge game saw 500 runs scored in an afternoon, with the Hall falling short of the mammoth total by a mere 15 runs, R. McCullagh, A. Holdsworth, and J. Wilson hitting far and wide for runs.

With such a versatile batting side and such a varied fixture list the policy has sometimes had to be defensive, as against the R.A.S.C. where the Hall was defeated by 100 runs. Justice was done in the return match when the Hall won by l 86 runs !

MICHAELMAS TERM

opened with the Freshmen's Trial, and once again there was a fme enthusiastic tussle, showing much talent, although some of the new intake were soon called to other fields and did not appear in the Hall side, until Cuppers.

With the new blood and veterans from former campaigns there was adequate material for the two league sides, though their structure varied considerably. The first XV fmished second in the league table, having played well despite defeats at the hands of Keble and Worcester. The second XV had a remarkably good term and won all their league matches.

In December D. Evans, D. M. Davies, D. Jesson, and F. H. ten Bos were invited to represent the University in the match against Cambridge.

THE SEASON

HILARY TERM

The term was prefaced by the visit of the Durham Colleges' touring side. There was a most entertaining game in the Parks when the Hall avenged their defeat at Durham the previous Easter. Our strongest fixture during term was the match against the Duke of Wellington's Regiment. The Hall XV on this occasion was below full strength and was well beaten.

Again there was a formidable potential for the Cuppers XV. The first round match against Merton was rather disjointed and in fact it took several matches for the XV to settle down as a team. Convincing wins over Jesus College and St. Peter' s Hall brought the side to the semi-fmal against Lincoln, possibly the best match of the series.

As in previous years, the final against Corpus Christi College was disappointing as a match. The 6-o victory completed a competition in which our line had not been crossed once.

Colours were awarded to: T. Cass, S. M. Benton, J. A. Collingwood, J. A. Curry, D. M. Davies, A. E. J. Drayton, D. V. Jones, J. J. McPartlin, J. L. Phillips, B. Robson, W. Y eowart.

R. M. Jarman was elected Captain and S. M. Benton Secretary for the following season.

THE ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL CLUB Captain: G. R. HERITAGE

Secretary: D. M. PARFITT

MICHAELMAS TERM THE HALL was favoured this year with a batch of good players among the Freshmen. There was the possibility of a League and Cuppers double had not the University and the Centaurs availed themselves freely of our talent. We had as many as seven players training regularly with the University, and at Wembley the Hall had four representatives, D. A. Clarke, G. R. Heritage, R. W. Jackson, and M. A. Ries.

Our league performances were often very mixed in quality. We lost 2-6 to Pembroke in the first game, but after that we managed to win every game except a drawn one with the Queen's College towards the end of the term. The hardest game of the term was a 2-1 win against St. Peter's Hall, fought in driving rain with a very greasy ball. Balliol eventually won the League and we were runnersup, only one point behind.

We had a good 2-1 win against St. John's College, Cambridge, and then a 3-2 win against King's College, London. As usual we had an enjoyable game against the Old Aularians and a 3-3 draw was a fair result for a game which did not exactly reach the heights of soccer perfection. We had a convincing 5-0 win against Emmanuel College, Cambridge, but the final match of term against St. Mary's College, London, saw a weakened Hall side lose rather heavily to a precision side.

HILARY TERM Predominant this term was the desire to retain the Cup, and with the return of the Blues and the Centaurs we appeared, on paper, firm favourites.

The first friendly game against St. Peter' s Hall proved to be a fulldress reheasal and we won 2-0. In the first round of Cuppers we defeated Magdalen II-I. The following Saturday the Hall found itself up against stiffer opposition in a match against the London School of Economics and the final score was 2-4. Perhaps the fixture of the season was against Westminster. The result was a win of two g('}als to one against a side which had not been beaten by an Oxford College that season.

The climax of the term was the cuppers semi-final against Brasenose which was a tough game neither side conceding an inch.

Fifteen minutes from the final J. D. Lees scored the first goal and C. J. Styles scored the second to ensure our victory.

D

49

We won a fixture against Nottingham University 2-1, before meeting Wadham in the Cuppers Final in a game which was disappointingly scrappy. The Hall was one up at half-time, the goal being scored by a Wadham defender's faulty backpass. The second half resulted in a goal for either side and the result was a 2-1 victory for the Hall and the retention of the trophy.

The Choughs, under D. D. Wotherspoon completed the term as ebullient as ever, although aggrieved at the number of cancellations forced upon them.

Colours were awarded to M. A. Ries, C. J. Styles, C. R. Higgs, M. H. Wadsworth, A. S. Hill, D. D. Wotherspoon, and B. W. Faulkner.

The following are to be congratulated on their election to the 0. U. Centaurs A.F.C.: M. A. Ries, C. J. Styles, C. R. Higgs, M. H. Wadsworth, D. M. Parfitt, and B. W. Faulkner.

Officers for the season 1960-61 : Captain, C. J. Styles, Secretary; C.R. Higgs.

THE HOCKEY CLUB Captain: M. OLDAKER

Secretary: N. SMART

THIS YEARS TEAM, although missing the normal influx of Freshmen players, had sufficient second and third year men to ensure a strong and competent side, with keen competition for places when our Blues and Occasionals, seven in all, were playing elsewhere.

Our story in Cuppers is an unfortunate one. After beating Jesus College 1-0 and Worcester College 5-0, we lost 1-2 to a mediocre but highly drilled Trinity College team. We were firm favourites for the competition and this perhaps contributed to our downfall. One feels that although the non-University members of the team worked up sufficient enthusiasm for the occasion, those who had not played for the Hall throughout the term could hardly feel keyed-up to meet what is often a ferocious game rarely resembling hockey. The team showed little cohesion and generally played below their potential. Next year we must try to field a team rather than a bunch of individuals.

In the knock-out league we finished fourth after deserving better fate from rained-off games.

Of our Folkstone exploits, the less said the better, except that we all had a good weekend slightly marred by lack of reserves. Next year, by dangling a few pounds in front of prospective players' noses, we hope to have a team.

Officers elected for the 196o-61 season are: Captain, M. Oldaker; Secretary, G. C. L. Cooper.

THE LAWN TENNIS CLUB Captain: Sm A. J. OUTRAM

Secretary: M. YEGER

THE TENNIS CLUB has had a most successful year. Both the League and the Cuppers teams have won their respective competitions, fairly comfortably, Cuppers Final being won 9-4 against St. Catherine' s. Individual members of the team have been successful, M. Morris and T. Curry gaining full Blues and C. Harvey being awarded a Penguin.

M.Y.

THE ATHLETICS CLUB President: B. A.J. WALSHAW

Secretary: P. J. TINDALE

MICHAELMAS TERM AFTER THE PREVIOUS YEAR'S successes hopes of winning the Relays Competition, which eluded us last year, and Field Events Cuppers were high. An already powerful team was reinforced by M. Ralph a possible Olympic triple jumper, Charles Van Dyck an outstanding high jumper and by D. J. Hahn a 9.8 sec. man over the 100 yards.

In the Relays we emerged with a clear 3 point win over St. Catherine' s who in tum were three points up on University College.

In the Field Events Competitions, Hardy, Ralph, and Van Dyck won the Discus, Triple Jump, and High Jump respectively and, with T. E. Evans taking second place in the Pole Vaulting, we won the competition.

HILARY TERM The Cuppers Competition was as usual upset by bad weather during January. In the first pool the Hall finished ahead of Merton, Queen's, Hertford, and Jesus. The Final was against B.N.C., winners of the other pool, who proved rather stronger than we expected. H. B. Thorpe had a very good run in the Three Miles and was only dropped by James in the last lap. This, and W alshaw' s win in the 440 yards, took us to a narrow 5 point win. Others to win their events were Aves (Hurdles), Hardy (Discus), and Ralph (Triple Jump and Long Jump).

Officers elected for the forthcoming year are: President, P. J. Tindale; Secretary, M. Ralph.

51

TRINITY TERM The term was a great disappointment. Two matches, from an already flimsy fixture list, had to be cancelled, and we lost narrowly to Southampton and Bristol at Iffiey Road.

To end, however, on a cheerful note, let us remind ourselves of the performances of our men at the White City, J. R. C. Young, not very fit but still on the day the fastest man in either University, I. D. Taylor,]. E. Aves, M. Ralph, T. E. Evans, H. Hardy, and C. Van Dyck, and commiserate with B. Walshaw on failing narrowly in the face of fierce competition to gain selection in the 440 yards.

P.J.T.

THE CROSS COUNTRY CLUB Captain: D. L. BARTLES-SMITH

MICHAELMAS TERM THIS WAS ONE of the most successful seasons of recent years both from the point of view of numbers competing and of performance.

For the first time ever the Hall put out two teams in several matches, including Cuppers. We registered victories over University College of North Staffs., the London School of Economics, Culham College, Emmanuel College, Cambridge and all the Oxford colleges we competed against. The Hall lost its matches against strong University teams of Birmingham, Bristol, Southampton, Reading, and King's College, London.

The only real disappointment of the term, in fact, was Cuppers, when the first team finished 5th and the second team r8th, thus dropping one place on last year's performance. ¡

HILARY TERM In the past Cross Country has tended to be more or less defunct this term, but an experimental cross-country league was started.

Unfortunately the Hall failed to compete in all its matches and was unplaced in the league . . For the first time, however, the Hall did hold a very successful road relay in which twenty two teams from Oxford and Cambridge colleges competed. The winners were St. Catherine' s Oxford, and the Hall did well to finish nth with a depleted team.

The Hyde Park Relay was again something of a disappointment.

We finished 42nd out of about 70 teams.

At the end of the season P. H. Blair was elected Captain for the next year.

THE SQUASH RACKETS CLUB Captain: J. J. J. BELL

Secretary: Srn A. J.

OUTRAM

THE INTEREST in Squash Rackets is as keen as ever and the new Squash court in Linton Road now ensures that everyone gets a game when he wishes. The number of serious players in their second year, however, is very small, and we hope to get several keen Freshmen next year.

The Hall won the League Division I, after several close matches.

The Hall was given a walk-over in the first round of Cuppers and was beaten by the favourites, Lincoln, in the second round.

The Principal' s Handicap Competition was again a great success and was won by J. J. J. Bell who beat J. D. Gurney in the final.

G. A. B. Conway-Gordon was elected to the O.U. Squirrels, and Hall colours were given to G. A. B. Conway-Gordon, Sir A. J. Outram, D. L. Van Coller, and J. D. Gurney.

The following elections were made for the season 1960-61: Captain, G. A. B. Conway-Gordon; Secretary, J. D. Gurney.

A.JO.

THE BADMINTON CLUB Secretary: A. D. BECK

Captain: D. R. A. PEARCE

LITTLE OF NOTE has been achieved by the Hall this season, in spite of the arrival of about a dozen badminton-players. Only three teams were entered this year in the six divisions of the League, instead of last year's four, but in spite of this the Secretary still found some difficulty in raising teams. It must be said, however, that the Hall is the only college with a third team.

The first and second teams finished third in the second and fourth divisions respectively, though each only won one match out of the five played. The third team, having been picked at various times from some eleven different players, and having to play against college first and second teams, could not record a win and hence has been relegated to the sixth division for next season.

During Hilary' Term the team was without the services of its captain who was injured, and the Cuppers team suffered accordingly.

It successfully negotiated the preliminary round against Jesus College, but after a close fight the Hall fell in the second round to Lincoln College.

Five friendly matches were played, including the innovation of a second VI match against the Westminster Training College. Our 53

only victory was in our now annual fixture with the O.U. Ladies B.C. Colours were awarded to Leaver and Beck.

The Officers for next year are: Captain, A. D. Beck; Secretary, D. K. Bowen.

that the only swimming activity to report is the Long Distance race for the Farrand Cup which took place on the 3rd of June. There were five competitors for the race, L. L. Filby, D. Murray-John, M. J. Cotton, M. Macdonald, and K. Bowen. The race was swum on a beautiful day from the 0. U.B.C. to the Concrete Bridge, escorted by motor launch bearing the judges and the swan-frighteners. One eight was narrowly avoided by the group of swimmers, although the crew had to do peculiar things with their oars to achieve this happy escape; one competitor was disqualified for accepting a tow from a passing skiff. All finished the course and the Dean presented the cup to the winner L. L. Filby and the tankard for second place to K. Bowen. ' IT APPEARS

PIDLLIPS

THIS YEAR we had our own table, and our hopes of improving on last year's record were fulfilled. In the League we set the pace at the head of Division II in the early matches, but the strain was too much, and we finished in the middle of the League table, winning five out of eight matches.

In Cuppers we met a strong New College side and unfortunately the team played far below its best, each member only being able to win one match. We lost 3-6.

The captain for next year is J. A. H. Curry.

THERE w AS a marked shortage of golfers among the Freshmen this year and as a result the Hall team consisted almost entirely of second year men. However this did not prevent us from having an undefeated and enjoyable year's golf. D. J. Harrison is to be congratulated on playing for. the University against Cambridge for the

54

second successive year, whilst R. E. M. Irving played several matches for the Divots. The highlights of the summer term were two very enjoyable matches with St. John's College, Cambridge, and the Hall's success in the Bullock Cup (Handicap Stableford Foursomes), which was won by Harrison and R. D. Haddon, whilst Irving and R. Kemp were runners up.

THE HILARIANS R.F.C. President: I. B. MAclNNES

Secretary: R. D. HADDON

THE CLUB' s RECORD for the 1959-60 season is an impressive one.

With no less than 120 names on the playing list, 25 games were played, of which 15 were won, 2 drawn, and 8 lost. In spite of the enormous reserves on which the Secretary had to draw, it was felt that 4 games in one week were too many and it was decided to reduce the number of fixtures and to work more closely with the Hall second XV. The annual dinner was held in February at which the Captain of the O.U.R.F.C. was the Club's illustrious guest.

Next season's Secretary is J. Vaughan, and the members are looking forward to another two terms of quality rugby football, having received the continued support of the S.C.R. for another year.

THE CROQUET CLUB Captain: J. T. YOUNG

Secretary: J. A. P. RAY

THE HALL croquet team enjoyed a very successful and social summer term. Matches were arranged with St. Hugh' s, Somerville, the Ophthalmic Nurses' Home, the S.C.R., and St. Hilda's, and, apart from the last named when the two teams decided to go punting instead, were all completed with the utmost felicity.

The Hall also received challenges from several of the men's colleges, but the Croquet Committee decided that to accept these would be to defeat the object of the Croquet Committee.

Messrs. Ray, Payne, Terry and Young have qualified as First Bisquers.

THE JOHN OLDHAM SOCIETY THE CRITIC the Trinity Term found the John Oldham Society in the gloomy reaches of the Clarendon Press Institute, and once more a delicate dramatic counterpoint was performed to a theme of vagrom workmen carousing lustily on the floor above or footing it featly up the back-stairs in hob-nail boots for dancing pumps. The play amply atoned for these by now familiar conditions. True, the cabin' d confin' d resources of the Institute are no ideal mise-en-scene for cribbing a plushy Drury Lane spectacle like Sheridan's 'The Critic'; yet the producer's deft manipulation of the available stage inches combined with John Phillips' s professional handling of colour to generate more visual excitement than is customary in this mausoleum of dear departed decors. The elegant black and mauve drawing room and the perspective view of Tilbury Fort in all its colline glory were but preludes to the tuppencecoloured magnificence of a Spanish Armada in full sail or a succulent succession of nubile nymphs viewed through garishly gorgeous infra-violet lighting.

The unique glory of 'The Critic' is that it combines this designer's paradise with the most irridescent wit of an age of wisdom. Sheridan had demonstrated in 'The Rivals' his complete control over the conventions of artificial comedy; in 'The Critic' this stylistic brilliance rearranges and burnishes the verbal surface of the dialogue until it glitters like diamond-or theatrical paste! The man 'not quite a novice to the trade' ventures 'to improve on the established modes'. The opening act presents dazzling domestic satire on all the foibles and fopperies of an affected, over-sophisticated age. Today we fail to recognise in Sir Fretful Plagiary a just but severe caricature of Richard Cumberland, and prefer our views on the Italian opera sandwiched respectably between the blue boards of a Home Office report. Yet when the vice is lashed without the name the satire still stings. The modern Sneer is still an avid first-nighter, Puff still writes a column in The Stage, and Dangle can be seen every Sunday morning in suburbia vacillating in weak restlessness between the searing socialist diatribes of Tynan and the small-part praise of Hobson' s choice. With the second and third acts, Sheridan draws the curtain a little wider; a domestic satire. on theatrical quidnuncs becomes a full-dress commentary on the poetic tragedy of the time.

The rehearsal of Mr. Puff's drama at Drury Lane is the dummy stalking-horse behind which Sheridan can attack with scintillating impunity the inane devices and fatuous pretensions of the play, and the conceit, arrogance and stupidity of the players. Every fault is set YET ONCE MORE

in a table, conned by rote and reproduced dressed in the revealing robe of the dramatist's witty, assurred, iconoclastic effrontery.

Such a play is, like 'Hamlet', producer-proof; failure is impossible.

Brian Taylor brought to the text a fund of zest, imagination and invention. The sentinels swooning in perplexed empathy, the hero with his ball and chain, or Tilburina' s vociferous feathered warblers of the grove all scored heavily on the laughter market and paid good returns for initial expenditure of thought and care. Boisterous humour was there in good measure, but by remaining on this single tone-level, the play lost finesse in both its parts. In the first act, the cutting sophistication of Puff's apology 'pro sua vita' or Sneer's acid-drop comments were serious casualties to the disaster of the play's 'period' flavour. Dresses were worn with anachronistically modern gesture and stance, entrances lacked all sense of social poise, and individual stylists contributed nothing but idiosyncratic and irritatingly incorrect mannerisms. The comedy, too, was often on the stage only. Actors experienced in the techniques of comic projection lifted a period joke into the modern world without losing its quintessential humour (Puff's description of the celebrated George Bon-Mot meeting the lively Lady Mary Myrtle was hilariously contemporary) but too often a bantering air of selfconscious bufoonery robbed less accomplished actors of laughter which their zestful endeavours well merited. In the second half of the play, this was the more obvious; and by making the Drury Lane company into amateurs at whose self-satisfied conceit the very boards of a village hall would shrink the producer lost the far more amusing situation of hardened professionals contending heroically against literally unspeakable materials.

Individual performances were often conspicuously successful.

Frank di Rienzo's Puff spoke his set-piece in the first-act like a born orator, 'tuning his voice and balancing his hands', and became at the rehearsal the ideal outraged author, meeting the disasters of the prayer or Park scene with all the flaccid gesture, braying voice and desperate persistence of the determined but exhausted playwright.

'Ernest Pursewarden', a Hall man more concerned with the finances than the frivolities of undergraduate life, slightly outplayed Puff with his own magnificent Sneer; 'Odious in black taffeta and silk', the silver cane the whip-lash tongue, the quivering eye and curling lip all gave Mr. Pursewarden a ÂŁleering command of vituperation and a delivery at once oily and acidulated, insidious and galling. Here was a performance to remind the present generation of undergraduates just how much they had missed. Bill Yeowart contributed a broad outline of Mr. Dangle, and if he never quite persuaded us that he was at home in powdered wigs and silken ruffles, in moments like the desperate 'eh bien . . .' he lauched himself on a 57

wide and violent sea of foreign idiom with all the brash bonhomie of a true John Bull. Perhaps the most satisfying performance of the evening came from Brian Terry; his Sir Fretful Plagiary 'a man envious as an old maid verging on the desperation of six-and-thirty', was the perfect dexterous plagiarist, smooth in triumph and (when discovered) roasted in the boiling oil of criticism, smarting with lingering pickle, and served as a sacrifice on the altars of Pride to gratify the malice of the Town 'with incense kindled at the Muse's flame'. The change from suave assurrance to anxiety and desperate uncontrol at the full licence which both truth and malice had power to utter made Mr. Terry's face a study in errupting indignation, and the funniest individual spectacle of the evening.

Performances within the Elizabethan tragedy unavoidably fell short of this high standard, but were always adequate and sometimes brilliant cameos. The poetic style, horribly stuffed with epithets of war, proved far too flippant for a well-bred Muse, though John Davie made Sir Christopher Hatton' s strategic imbecility into a palpable hit, egad. Michael Shaw's Don Ferola Whiskerandos sprang off with too many glances at the pit, but John Griffm, Jim Bradford, John Wardle, and David Summers all appeared to advantage; Christopher Bone sang with reckless abandon, and in the hands of Miss Schuftan, Miss Tranfield, Miss Hedges, and Miss Fellows the ladies of the company acquitted themselves with musical charm and decorative attraction. Miss Sally Clarke's Confidante was a little too much in the sun, and her repetitions of Tilburina' s gestures too continuously forced to be long amusing' Give these fellows a good thing, and they never know when to have done with it'. But it scarcely mattered; the enthusiasm of the company carried the play to its spectacular climax, the winches groaned, the boards creaked, the large cast wound and deployed on the minute stage, until the audience by turns amused, delighted and amazed laughed to the very echo. The play and the society had justified itself; and if a bent, bearded and bedizened figure strangely familiar beneath a non-clerical disguise, came, thought and overcame in the midst of the theatrical hurly-burly, he was but the last chord in this Beelzebub's cotillion, or Prosperpine's Fete Champetre.

J.L.S. DEVELOPMENTS AT PONTIGNY OUR VISIT to Pontigny was made on a lovely September morning and the bright sun brought out to full effect the beauty of the church, with its absence of all dark glass, and all internal elaboration in the form of side chapels except for the simple Lady Chapel. The uniform bright but cool light penetrating from the south to every

58

comer of the abbey increased the effect of unity already achieved through the natural skill of builders who had blended the early 12th century transept with the late 12th century nave and the 13th century choir. The ideals of Bernard of Clairvaux are surely nowhere in the world so faithfully embodied as in this wonderful example of Cistercian gothic. Now the French Ministry of Fine Arts have completed the restoration at the cost of several million pounds.

Framed in the central arch of the beautiful arcading of the choir, with the canopy and cross stretching right above its crowning point, is the l8th century chasse bearing the body of St. Edmund. The seventeenth century angels which support the tomb, holding it as it were aloft, are from an age when taste was not at its best, and this has been well realised by the experts controlling the restoration.

The ugly wooden staircase previously leading from the lovely ambulatory behind has been completely removed. This now makes it impossible for pilgrims to look through the glass aperture of the tomb on the shrunken features of the saint himself, as Dr. Emden did in 1935 and Archdeacon Plaxton as late as 1950. Only on the two holy days of the year when the chasse is lowered to the ground by ropes and pulleys, may the faithful make their awed obeisance. We were, P.owever, shown the severed hand of St. Edmund and the earlier l6th century chasse of dark wood, from which the body of the saint had been removed by the monks and successfully hidden from the marauding Huguenots of Auxerre. I was asked by the charming and courteous cure, newly appointed by the Cardinal Lienart of the Mission de France whose especial care the abbey and its adjacent theological seminary now is, to give my vote on a question now in the balance at the Fine Arts Ministry-whether this wooden chasse would not make for the future a more suitable shrine for the saint's body than the present more modem one. I voted for the woode11. one.

The saint's body is now clad, as reported by Dr Emden in 1935, in a modern vestment of blue, but on the same day as our visit to Pontigny, we were privileged to see in a vestry cupboard of the Church of St. Quirial at Provine, the very archiepiscopal vestments in which St. Edmund was buried. We were told that they had been taken from the body to be repaired by nuns, but had never been put on again because of the Huguenot threat. We could indeed see the exquisitely fine needlework of the nuns on the faded but beautiful green silk of the robe. Set out on one side of the robe was St. Edmund's Oxford D.D. cap of an even brown colour, and on the other side the thigh bone of the apostle Bartholemew, sealed as genuine by high dignitaries of the Church. It was impossible to introduce any 'pinch of salt' attitude into this atmosphere, in face of the way in which both this and the relics of St. Edmund were 59

shown to us-who had arrived unannounced-by the courteous and reverent priest. Indeed for the relics of St. Edmund, enshrined in this little district where his last days were spent, where his cult still flourishes, we felt no need for any pinch of salt. c.

THE ENDOWMENT FUND DURING THE PAST YEAR the appeal for the Endowment Fund has continued to make steady, if somewhat unspectacular progress.

Gifts, Deeds of Convenant or Bankers' Orders have been received from some new subscribers. By 31 July, when the Hall books were closed, the total receipts for the financial year, including tax recovered, amounted to £872. 19s. 7d. As the Fund stood at £10,830. 16s. 5d. at the end of the previous financial year, this means that it has now reached the grand total of £n,703. 16s. od.

Below is attached a list of subscribers whose subscriptions or gifts had been paid into Lloyd's Bank Ltd., Oxford, by 31 July. An asterisk against a name indicates that the subscriber has paid by Banker's Order, and a dagger that he has made a single gift-in several cases a gift annually repeated; all the remainder have completed Deeds of Covenant. It is hoped that if any subscriber's name has by oversight been omitted, he will at once communicate with the Bursary Clerk. Needless to say, the gratitude of the Hall goes out in fullest measure to all who have so generously contributed.

While no special appeal is being included with the present issue of the Magazine, it is earnestly hoped that old members who are not already subscribers will seriously consider whether they should not begin to contribute to this all-important Fund. The future development of the Hall in every direction, as well as its general consolidation, depends on a constant inflow of fresh money, for only so can the lack of endowment from which it so grievously suffers be compensated. Anyone who is interested should communicate with the Principal, who will gladly supply him with appropriate forms.
