EDITORS G. R. WALMSLEY, Editor P. BAYLISS, Assistant Editor

DE PERSONIS ET REBUS AULARIBUS IN MEMORIAM As it goes to press, the Magazine learns with regret that the Right Reverend Henry Herbert Williams, C.H. , D.D. , sometime Lord Bishop of Carlisle, Honorary Fellow of the Hall and Principal from 1913 to 1920, died at his home in Chester on 28 September. An obituary will be published in the next issue.

THE PRINCIPAL AND FELLOWS THE PR r N c r PAL has been re-elected for a further term to the Board of the Faculty of Theology, and has been elected a member of the Committee for the Nomination of Select Preachers. He preached the University Sermon on Trinity Sunday (in New College) and on I I June preached the All Souls summer sermon.

He distributed the prizes at Weymouth Grammar School and at St. Mary's College, Crosby.

The Magazine congratulates Dr. Ramsay on his election as Vice-Principal. It is understood that he has expressed the desire that the appointment should be limited to four years. He is also to be congratulated on the birth of a daughter. The Senior Tutor (Mr. C. F. W. R. Gullick) has been appointed Acting Professor of Geography for Michaelma~ Term, 196 1, during the absence of Professor Gilbert. He has also been elected Chairman of the Public and Preparatory Schools section of the Geographical Association.

The Dean (Rev. E. G. Midgley) has been elected a member of the Board of the Faculty of English Language and Literature, and has been re-elected a member of the Benefices Delegacy. He preached ¡ the University Sermon before the learned Judge of Assize, and has also preached in Pusey House and at Worksop College.

Dr. D. C. M. Yardley served as examiner in the Final Honour School of Jurisprudence in Trinity T erm. Dr. G. W. Series paid a brief visit to the United States of America in Trinity Term and I

gave an invited paper to the Second International Conference on Quantum Electronics held in Berkeley, California. Dr. R. B. Mitchell was granted sabbatical leave, for the purpose of research, in Hilary Term. He has also been energetically active in his roles as Honorary Secretary of the O.U. Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club and Honorary Secretary of the Oxford Branch of the National Life-Boat Institution.

Mr. G. R. Allen spent the academic year in the United States of America as Visiting Professor of Agricultural Economics at the University of California; during his absence Mr. L. E. Baragwanath, who read P.P.E. at the Hall in 1948-50 and is now a Fellow of St. Catherine' s, took charge of the teaching of Economics. The Chaplain (Rev. H. E. J. Cowdrey) is to congratulated on the birth of a daughter. Mr. H. G. Barnes examined in Trinity Term in the Honour School of Modern Languages. Professor Hume-Rothery paid a lecture visit from 15 September to 13 October, 1960, to various institutions in Canada and the United States of America under his United States Air Force contract. In December last year he was elected an Honorary Member of the Institute of Metals (membership is restricted to twelve persons), and in February this year he lectured to the Institute on 'The Theory of the Alloys of Copper'. Dr. J. D. Todd was Chairman of the Examiners in the Honour School of Engineering in Trinity Term, and is to be congratulated on the birth of a third son. Mr. J. C. B. Gosling has examined in the Pass School, and is to be congratulated on the birth of a son.

PROFESSOR HARRY IRVING WHILE DEEPLY REGRETTING his departure from the Hall, the Magazine warmly congratulates the Vice-Principal on his appointment to the Chair of Inorganic and Structural Chemistry in the ¡University of Leeds. An old boy of St. Bee's and a distinguished graduate of Queen's, Dr. H. M. N. H. Irving joined the Hall in 1935, and became a Fellow when the Statutes approved by the King in Council in December, 1937, came into operation. He succeeded Dr. Kelly as Vice-Principal in 1951, and has held that office continuously since then. To the cognoscenti the seemingly endless stream of learned papers emanating from his pen and recorded annually, with their portentous and (to the layman) incomprehensible titles, in the Aularian Bookshelf provides abundant proof of his achievement in his own field of studies. This has been publicly corroborated not only by the high offices to which he has been elected in the chemical societies of this country and by the distinguished lecturing invitations he has received both at home and 2

PROFESSOR HARRY IRVING,

D.Sc.

abroad, but also by the extent to which the Atomic Energy Authority at Harwell on the one hand and important industrial undertakings on the other have called upon his talents. So far as the Hall is concerned, an enormous debt is owing to him both for the general supervision he has exercised over science subjects since 1935, and in particular, for the devoted way in which he has built up from the foundations a remarkably successful school of chemical studies. There can be few lecturers who are ni.ore incisive and (be it added) witty in the most constructive sense, few tutors who have taken a greater personal interest in their pupils both as students and as human beings, few members of a governing body who have so happily combined statesma.nlike vision with practical good sense in the day-to-day affairs of their College. Few Fellows, too, have been such accomplished performers on the piano, thus bridging the alleged gap between the two cultures and giving heartfelt satisfaction to old and yom1g both privately and at college concerts.

Dr. Irving' s resignation from his Fellowship took effect on 3 I March, and he officially became Professor at Leeds on the following day. With characteristic considerateness he gladly volunteered to exercise general oversight over his pupils m1til the end of the academic year, even though this involved him in a number of tedious journeys to and from Leeds. As a parting gift the Principal and Fellows presented him with his portrait in pen and wash; it is a brilliant little sketch, by H. Andrew Freeth in his best style, and a photograph of it is reproduced in this issue. Very appropriately, the Governing Body elected him, in the Long Vacation, to the office of Emeritus Fellow, thereby ensuring that his installation in his remote northern chair should in no way entail any real separation from the Hall. Aularians everywhere unite in wishing him, and .along with him Mrs. Irving, every happiness and success in their new home and sphere of work.

TWO NEW FELLOWS TWO NEW APPOINTMENTS to Fellowships have been made in the course of the year. Justin Cyril Bertrand Gosling, B.Phil., M.A., who was appointed Lecturer last summer, was elected to a Fellowship and Tutorship in Philosophy in Michaelmas Term and entered upon his new status on I January. A summary of his career was printed in the last issue of the Magazine; here it need only be remarked how quickly and effectively he has established himself in the affections of old and young in the Hall. The creation of his Fellowship marks a fresh and bold departure, for hitherto the Hall has relied for the teaching of Philosophy either on a Fellow engaged also in teaching other subjects or on outside assistance.

3

In Trinity Term Francis Joseph Charles Rossotti, B.Sc. , M.A., D.Phil., was elected to a Fellowship and Tutorship in Chemistry, to take effect on l October, he has also been appointed to a Demonstratorship in the Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory. Dr. Rossotti, who is a former pupil of Dr. Irving and who since 1956 has been Lecturer in Inorganic and Physical Chemistry at Edinburgh University, was an Open Scholar at Christ's Hospital and, from 1948 to 1952, an Open Postmaster of M erton College. Between school and University he did his military service with the R.A.F. Regiment, passing out as the Prize Cadet of his O.C.T.U., and subsequently serving as a flight commander, squadron adjutant and staff officer (Air Headquarters, Levant). From 1952 to 1956 he held appointments in the Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory, Oxford, and at the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, and he has a large number of publications, including both books and papers, to his credit.

The Magazine extends a warm welcome to both these tal ented additions to the teaching staff of the Hall.

AN AULARIAN VOLUME and former pupils of our Emeritus Fellow, the Rev. Professor John McManners, will be delighted to learn of the publication of French Ecclesiastical Society under the Ancien R egime (Manchester University Press, 1961, 45s.). During his years as ChaplainFellow of the Hall Mr. McManners was carrying out exhaustive researches in France, and it is gratifying that the remoteness of Hobart and Sydney from. the Loire has not prevented him from working them up into an extremely impressive and well documented volume. [t certainly gives a fascinating picture of church life, in all its aspects, in an old-world French cathedral city before the storm of the Revolution broke, and is written with the brilliance of style and intuitive sympathy which characterize Professor McManners's work.

THE FRIENDS

THE LECTURERS has accepted, with m.uch regret, the resignation of Dr. D . ter Haar, who has been Lecturer in Mathematical Physics since 1957¡ Dr. ter Haar was appointed a Fellow of M agda len College about two years ago, and he now finds his duties there too onerous to permit him to undertake additional teaching outside the College. The Hall is grateful to him for the valuable help he has given it. Two new appointments have been made in the past year. George Denis M eakins. M.A. , D.Phil. , of

THE GOVERNING BODY

4

Brasenose C ollege, has been appointed Lecturer in Organic Chem.istry . He is already well known to undergraduates studying Chemistry, for he has been teaching Hall men Organic Chemistry for so me tin1e. N eal Blewitt, B.A. , fo rmerly Rhodes Scl?.olar of Jesus College and now Scholar of St. Antony's, has been appointed Lecturer in Politics. He, too, is no stranger to the Hall, having given instruction to m en reading P .P.E. throughout the whole of the past academic yea r.

THE WOLFSON BENEFACTION THE NE w

s, published in the press on 5July, of the grant of ÂŁ120, 000 to the Hall by the W olfson Fo undation must have filled Aularians everywhere w ith surprise, gratification and excited anticipation. It is, of course, far and away the m ost splendid benefaction the Hall has ever received in its long history, and must be reckoned one of the largest single gifts nu de to any O xford C ollege in recent years.

The heartfelt gratitude of everyone connected with the Hall, and not least of the Principal and Fellows, goes out in fullest measure to Lord N athan and the other Trustees of the Foundation, and , above all, to Mr. Issac Wolfson himself. Since both the Chair of Metallurgy and the R esearch Fellowship in that subject for which the Foundation provided the funds have been allocated to it, the H all may p roperly rega rd itself, with due humility and ¡wi thout prejudice to the other societies in the University w hich have been assisted by the large-hearted generosity of the same benefactors, as the W olfson college par excellence in O xford.

This is perhaps an opportune moment to remind Aularians of the long-term plans which the Principal and Fellows have in view , and of the place which the W olfson Benefaction holds in them. It will be recalled that, being keenly conscious that the Hall must at all costs enlarge its site and add to its buildings if it is to hold its own as a full-sized College in m odern O xford , the Governing Body has devoted strenuous efforts, and also considerable sums of money, to buying up adj acent freeholds during the past decade. With this obj ective it purchased, first, from. N ew C ollege the freehold of N os.

55, 55 A, and 56 High Street in 195 6, and, n10re recently, from M agdalen College the freehold of the Formn Restaurant (known to older m embers as the M asonic buildings). In addition, it has succeeded in purchasing from the Albert and Bertie Lodges certain important rights in the Forum R estaurant which were not due to expire until the year 2004, and w hich, had the Lodges retained them, would have made it impossible to convert the buildings to collegiate purposes. N eedless to say, these operations have involved the Hall 5

in financial outlays which, by the standards of a virtually unendowed society such as it is, are truly formidable. It is safe to say that it could not have embarked upon them w ithout the support of the Endowment Fund and tlw small but singularly loyal contingent of Aularians who are reg ular subscribers to it-to w hom every gratitude is due.

As a result of these purchases the Hall now stands possessed of an extensive site directly contiguous with, and incidentally much more spacious than, the single quadrangle which it at present occupies and owns. The Governing Body's plans for the development of this envisage two principal items. The first is the erection of a new dining hall capable of seating over 250 undergraduates and some 30 Fellows or Lecturers, along with kitchens conveniently placed and of the right size, and also of certain essential ancillary rooms (e.g. a lunching room for the S.C.R. of dimensions appropriate to its present, and, as far as can be predicted, probable future numbers). The second is the erection of a block, or, if ir seems architecturally desirable, blocks, of residential accommoda tion sufficient to house som.e 80-90 Lmdergraduates and several Fellows, Lecturers or research students. This is the project in broadest outline, but it is obvious that both buildings will have to include all sorts of subsidiary necessaries or amenities, such as, for example, washing-up places and store- rooms in cmmection with the kitchens, and box-rooms and bath-rooms in the residential blocks.

The present dining-h all, it should be mentioned, will in all probability become a library, for which it seems ideally suited. The lease of the restaurateurs who at present occupy the Formn is due to expire in September, 1962, and it is hoped to start operations on the site as soon after as is practicable.

The Wolfson Benefaction , it should be made plain, is intended to finance only the form.er of these two items. It is a wonderfully generous gift, showing great foresight and understanding on the part of the Trustees, and with careful planning and prudent management it should suffice for the purpose. The Trustees have clearly indicated, however, that, while sympathetic to the second and equally urgent half of the great design, they can themselves be responsible for the erection of the dining hall with its associated rooms (kitchens, etc.) only, and for nothing else. The cost, therefore, of the residential block or blocks-the sum required, it is estimated , will be considerably in excess of the Wolfson grant-will have to fall on the Hall itself and on its old mem.bers and w ellwishers. This point should be made plain, for there is an idea abroad that Oxford and Cambridge Colleges, like the red-brick Universities, can look to the Government or the University Grants Committee for financial aid for their building projects. Nothing could be farther from the truth; 6

the authorities have made it absolutely clear that, as things stand at the moment, they are not prepared to contribute anything, and that the Colleges must rely on their own resources and on what they can raise from their friends. It is therefore extremely likely that the Hall will be issuing an appeal to Aularians and others before long (perhaps before these notes are published, but in any case not long after) for the fw1ds which will be necessary to pay for the residential accommodation which is pla1med. From every point of view it is manifestly desirable that work on the two projects should, if it is humanly possible, begin simultaneously. The Magazine is confident that, when the appeal reaches old members (and present members too), they will one and all respond with alacrity and enthusiasm, to the utmost of their ability. The Wolfson Trustees have set a noble example which deserves to be imitated by everyone who knows and loves the Hall.

GIFTS of the Hall are due to the following for gifts which they have kindly presented:

THE BEST THANKS

To the Aularian Association for two silver tankards, one to honour the Hall First VIII for remaining Head of the River for a third year, and one to commemorate other sporting cups won; and also for a gift of ÂŁ50 to the Library for books to commemorate the five Firsts obtained in Schools in Trinity Term, 1960.

To the Rev. Dr. A. M. Farrer, Warden of Keble College, for a silver sauce boat given in remembrance of his period as Chaplain and Tutor of the Hall (1930-35).

To Raymond Richards, Esq., M .A., F.S.A., F.R.Hist.S., for de luxe editions of The Manor of Gawsworth, Cheshire (The Ancient Monuments Society, 1957) and Old Cheshire Churches (B. T. Batsford, 1948-9), both by himself To D. C. M. Yardley (Fellow), for a copy of Symposio Europeo sulle Strutture Amministrative degli Enti Locali Intermedi (a record of a Conference held at Milan in November, 1959).

To the Education Committee of the Market Research Society for a gift of ÂŁ25 to the Hall Endowment Fnnd.

ST. EDMUND RESTORED have often been puzzled by the fact that, while they are always being assured that 16 November is the feast of St. Edmund of Abingdon, no name appears against that day in the Church of England calendar, or in the calendar used by Oxford University for that matter. Their perplexity becomes all the greater

AULARIANS

7

when they notice that 20 November is in both calendars designated the feast-day of St. Edmw1d King and Martyr. The omission of St. Edmund of Abingdon when the calendar was revised at the Reformation no doubt reflects Tudor Erastianism and disapproval of saints who had resisted the claims of the crown. In Michaelmas Term the Principal took the matter up with the Vice-Chancellor, pointing out that, while the calendar used by the University was based on and broadly coincided with the Prayer Book calendar, it included a number of additional commemorations of special interest to the Colleges or to the city of Oxford-some of them, such as All Souls day and Corpus Christi, being ones which would scarcely have met with the complete endorsement of the reformed theology in the sixteenth or seventeenth century. As a result of the amiable negotiations which followed it was agreed that the University almanac should henceforth contain a mention of 'Edmund, Abp.' against 16 November, and this was duly carried out in the 1961 edition of the Oxford University Calendar. No similar alteration can, of course, appear in the official calendar of the Church of England, but it is to be hoped that when the question of a revised Prayer Book, or calendar, once again comes up, Aularians will be alert to press for the insertion of their Patron's name.

A RESTORATION COMPLETED AT LA s T the restoration work undertaken under the auspices, and largely (though by no means wholly) at the expense of, the Oxford Historic Buildings Trust is complete. It has been a laborious, long drawn-out process, mainly owing to the shortage of skilled craftsmen and the enormous amow1t of similar work going on in Oxford at the same time. Throughout the whole of the past academic year and the Long Vacation there has been scaffolding in the front quadrangle, first of all covering the face of the dining hall, and then of the western half of the Emden Room and the portion of the Principal' s Lodgings above it. The work on the latter section has taken much longer and has proved more extensive than anticipated because of the discovery that substantial areas of the stonework had moved out of line, with the result that practically the whole wall required to be re-built. Now that the operation is finished, the general effect inside the quadrangle, as outside in the Lane, must be acknowledged to be extremely attractive, and a particularly fine job has been made of the graceful bow-window of the Principal' s drawing-room. No further work is contemplated, for the rest of the buildings are deemed to be in a reasonable state of repair.

ACADEMY PORTRAITS THE HALL was certainly well to the fore at the recent Summer Exhibition of the Royal Academy. Both the portrait in oils of the Principal, by Robert Buhler, R.A., which was presented to him last year, and the pen-and-wash portrait of the Vice-Principal, by H. Andrew Freeth, A.R.A., which the Principal and Fellows presented to him on his appointment to a chair at Leeds, have been simultaneously on show at Burlington House.

POSTGRADUATE STUDENTS OXFORD has become increasingly exercised in recent years about the position of postgraduate students. The army of these becomes larger from year to year, and the fact that many of them are m arried makes their situation all the more awkward. In the past, regarding itself as an educational centre primarily for undergraduates, the University has done little or nothing to cater for their special needs.

Plans are on foot, however, for the erection or purchase of houses suitable for married quarters, and in several Colleges a 'middle common room' has been established, where the postgraduate can perhaps feel more at home than in the rough-and-tumble of the J.C.R. without claiming entrance to the S.C.R. The problem particularly affects the graduates of other universities who come to Oxford to pursue research, for those who have grown up in a College here carry on naturally in their J.C.R. at the postgraduate stage, and indeed often constitute its backbone. The Governing Body of the Hall has given much thought to the matter, but is by no means convinced that the provision of a permanent middle common room is the ideal solution. The mixture of students of different ages studying for higher and lower degrees is one of Oxford's most valuable features, and is parallel to the fraternization of dons and undergraduates, by which the Hall has always set great store. The Governing Body is satisfied, however, that the postgraduates who have to stay up in the vacation for research are at a real disadvantage, since the J.C.R. tends either to be closed or to be handed over to visiting conferences. It therefore arranged that in the recent long vacation a start should be made with setting aside a special common room for their USC'., and arranging for lunch and light refreshments to be provided in it so long as the kitchen remained open. The experiment has proved a remarkable success.

AULARIANS IN THE UNIVERSITY THE MAGAZINE notes with satisfaction that two responsible positions in the wider life of the University are now held by graduates of the Hall. E. G. Rowe (matric. 1922), who had previously held an administrative post in Tanganyika, was last year appointed Supervisor of Overseas Services Courses. In the autumn of 1960 Wing-Commander K. Harding (matric. 1940) took up his duties as Commanding Officer of the Oxford University Air Squadron.

Both have been granted membership of the Senior Common Room.

THE AULARIAN ASSOCIATION AT TH E RE UN ION held on Saturday, 24June, the Ven. A. Sargent, Archdeacon of Canterbury and Canon Residentiary, was elected a n1ember of the Executive Committee representing those who matriculated in the decade 1905-14. The Archdeacon has accepted election, and the Committee and the Association look forward to having the benefit of his counsel from time to time.

NEW SCHOLARSHIPS AND EXHIBITIONS U N DER HIS WILL the late George Alfred Kolkhorst, for many years Lecturer of the H all in Spanish, who died in September, 1958, bequeathed the sum of £2,000 to the Curators of the Taylorian Institution with a view to establishing an exhibition or exhibitions in Spanish to be called by his name. He further expressed the desire that the exhibition or exhibitions should be attached to a College, and stated that his preference lay with St. Edmund Hall. After discussion between the Principal and the Curators, the latter agreed that the Hall should have two G. A. Kolkhorst Exhibitions in Spanish, each of £40 a year, placed at its disposal. The first of these was offered for competition at the Hall's Modern Languages Scholarship Examination in March, and the first Exhibitioner will be coming into residence in Michaelmas Term, 196r. The Hall is deeply grateful to the late Mr. Kolkhorst for thus remembering it.

The Hall has also been fortunate in being given two valuable awards in metallurgical science in the past year. In Michaelmas Term, Murex Limited agreed to present it with an Open Scholarship of £100 a year for seven years in the first instance, and in the following term Guest, Keen and Nettlefolds Limited agreed to provide the funds for a further Open Scholarship of £100 a year for four years. Both are for men who propose to read for honours in Metallurgy. While the Hall is profoundly grateful to both these corn10

panies for their far-sighted generosity, it is also conscious of the debt it owes to Professor Hume-Rothery, through whose good offices both benefactions were steered in its direction. It is expected that the first Murex Scholar will take up residence in October, r96I. ACADEMIC RESULTS in sport have been so dazzling recently that some people get the impression that it counts for little in the academic sphere. More than once the Principal has felt a twinge of surprise mixed with dismay when an old member has concluded his congratulations on some athletic achievement by shyly murmuring, 'Now, when are we going to get some Firsts?' Aularians who study the Magazine with care will need no reassurance, but the point may be worth making that the Hall has had a reasonable quota of Firsts in every year since the war except one, and that its annual average compares favourably with that of the general rm1 of Colleges outside the group of academically high-powered, richly endowed societies like Balliol, Magdalen and Queen's. In 1960, for example, five Firsts were secured, and this year the total was the gratifying one of eight. It is also very rarely that a year passes without one or two (this year it was three) of the Heath Harrison Travelling Scholarships or other University prizes coming our way. This is not to say that the Hall is satisfied with its results; Oxford is an increasingly competitive place, with standards growing stiffer and stiffer, and neither tutors nor undergraduates can afford to become complacent. In particular, the complaint has been voiced that, if the Hall gets its fair share of Firsts, far too many of its members who could obtain Seconds end up with Thirds: which does neither them nor it any good, since a College is judged as much by its proportion of Seconds as of Firsts. The Magazine has no means of checking the facts, but is confident that the men in residence will indignantly refute the charge by their assiduity and their performance in Schools.

THE HAL L'S SUCCESSES

PRIZES AND GRANTS of the two Francis Bennion Prizes in Jurisprudence (ÂŁ5 in books) was awarded to M. A. Cranswick, a third-year undergraduate, on the strength of work done in a terminal collection.

The first of the Prizes was not awarded.

Grants from the Graham Hamilton Travel Fund were made to the following for enterprising journeys abroad planned for the long vacation: A Butcher (trip to Nigeria);' E. F. Korn (trip to Israel); E. P. F. Rose (trip to Cyrenaica as member of the O.U. Expedition to that country).

THE SUMMER BALL THE SUMMER BALL was again a great success, more tickets than ever being sold this year, and a great crow d obviously enjoying the hours of night and morning which in prospect, seem so long but in fact are only too short. We were again blessed with beautiful weather and the Front Quadrangle, with more fairy lights than ever before, with its fountain and with the superb music of Paul Burrough' s Steel Band, proved again one of the most popular spots for dancing and for sitting out.

In the Forum the theme this year was Space and Rockets. Last year's New York skyline had changed to the towers of Moscow opposed by the tropical scenes of rocket launching land. A great rocket dominated the scene and overhead twinkled constellations the accuracy of which satisfied even the Dean's astronomical demands. N at T emple and his band played for us as they have for many years.

Again w e would like to congratulate the Dance Committee on their planning of another splendid evening and thank all those who worked so hard and very much against time to prepare the decor.

We must also add a special word of congratulations to those who, when our fountain was kidi1apped by another college which shall be nameless, created a most convincing and effective substitute from a large bab y's bath!

Botting, W. B. Shaw.

The A1mual General Meeting of the Aularian Association was held in the Emden Room after Chapel.

The minutes of the previous meeting, having been published in the Magazine, were taken as read.

The Treasurer gave a summary of the accounts which were approved.

The President a1mounced that the following allocations had been made by the Executive Committee: £250 for the Magazine; £400 to the Scholarship Fund; £roo to the Sports Grant Fund, £50 to the Principal's discretionary fund; £60 for two tankards, one to commemorate the retention of the Headship of the River, the other for the remaining sporting achievements of the year. £25 was allocated to the Old Library Fund for binding and a further £50 to the Library to celebrate the gaining of five Firsts. £roo was earmarked for the part cost of next year's Directory.

The retiring members of the Executive Committee (D. M. M. Carey, Reverend E. G. Midgley and E. J. F. Brain) were re-elected.

The Archdeacon of Canterbury was elected to fill the vacancy in the representation of the decade 1905-14.

The Hon. Treasurer and the Hon. Secretary were re-elected.

It was agreed to hold the next meeting on Friday 29 June 1962.

At the Remiion Dinner the toast of Floreat Aula was proposed by

J.

B

17

the Principal. He complimented the younger generation of old members on their youthful appearance (they might well be taken for freshman who were staying up for a second attempt at prelims.) and he welcomed Mr. Emden, who looked younger than ever. The Hall had lost to Leeds the Vice-Principal, whose promotion to the Chair of Chemistry, had ended his ten-year tenure of office. The best wishes of the Hall went with him. In his place Dr. Ramsay had been elected Vice-Principal, but he was too shy to attend the Reunion and was away at a meeting of the governing body of his old school, Rossall.

The Hall was holding its head above water. So far it had gained one first, in Music. Three Heath Harrison scholarships had been won and a distinction in the Diploma in Anthropology.

Acting flourished. The O.U.D.S. cuppers had been won and the Ibsen production at the Playhouse had not only pleased the critics but had made money.

In sport the embarrassing success continued. The Rugger cup had been relinquished, but we had kept the Headship of the River and the Soccer and Tennis cups.

The extension of the site of the Hall was about to be realised. The Forum Restaurant would become the property of the Hall in 1962 and it would then be possible to envisage a new dining hall and 'kitchens together with 70 or So new rooms which were essential if every undergraduate was to have two years in Hall and every postgraduate one. ÂŁ200,000 would be necessary to realise this ambitious building programme, but he was glad to say that ÂŁ120,000 had been secured (loud and prolonged cheers). The gift would be made public on 5 July. An appeal for the residue would go out in the New Year. If all responded the problem would be solved ambulando.

L.W.H. LONDON DINNER, 1961 MORE A ULARIANS than ever before-95-were present at the London Dinner, which took place (as usual) at Simpson's in the Strand on Tuesday ro January.

After the initial period of relaxation over sherry and the like, after the second stage of the dinner itself (excellent), R. J. L. Breese, our Chairman, greeted the participants and introduced the Principal.

He conveyed the regret of Dr. Emden, who was not able to be present and welcomed Dr. Leonard Hodgson and the R ev. John Brewis. The death of Mr. Shane Toland was announced and regretted. The Chairman also expressed the thanks of the meeting to N.J. Williams for making arrangements. He gave us a message from E. C. Lace, of I 884, the oldest living Aularian; the meeting authorized

18

a telegram to Mr. Lace, nern. con. After chaffmg the Senior Common Room on the Hall's recent increased interest in studies and congratu:lations to both common rooms, the Chairman gave the toast 'Floreat Aula'.

The Principal responded to the toast. He recalled that the Chairman was the first President of the Junior Common Room in his own Principalship and extended congratulations on the Chairman's marriage. He welcomed Dr. Hodgson, a former Vice-Principal, and regretted Dr. Emden' s absence. The history of the London dinner since 1919 was remarked upon. The Principal spoke of the Hall's sporting activities, especially as they affected the placement system of headmasters. Dwelling no further upon this subject, the Principal passed on to other achievements: five Firsts last year; the Davis Chinese Scholarship; and a due proportion of the Heath Harrison Modern Language Scholarships. For the first time the Hall (which recalls the past services of Dr. Austin Farrar and of the Principal himself) has a full-time fellow in philosophy. The new departure is expected to be important to the Classics School and to that of Politics, Philosophy, and Economics. The Principal closed with an expression of high hopes for further physical development of the Hall. The site of the Forum has now been acquired in freehold; the Hall will soon need money to build upon it. Members may expect to receive appeals for donations towards the cost of a new dining hall and more rooms.

Dinner and speeches over, the meeting adjourned to a pleasant postlude of circulation and conversation.

The London Dinner of 1962 will take place as usual on the second Tuesday in January, again at Simpson's in the Strand.

G.H.J. LEEDS DINNER, 1960 THE SECOND LEEDS DINNER was held in the Lawson Library, Leeds Grammar School on Friday 18 November 1960, when eighteen Aularians were present, sixteen others having sent apologies for absence. We were very pleased to have Alderman Tennant in the Chair again and the Guest of Honour was the Principal. He spoke of the Hall's achievements in its many spheres of activity, of its acquisition of new freehold property for the first time for several centuries and was kind enough to refer to the spreading fame of our Dinner which he said had the reputation of being one of the 'most carnally satisfying' of the functions organized by Aularians away from Oxford. He also gave us notice, as it were officially, of the impending arrival amongst us of Dr. Irving, following his translation to the Chair of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Leeds: we look forward to having him with us at our next meeting.

We were once again entertained in fine style in pleasantly learned surroundings, returning to the Headmaster's Study after our short stroll down the corridor to a delightful spread of dessert, over which we lingered for some time. Credit for the arrangements must be apportioned as before; despite an increase in price, everyone seemed to enjoy the evening.

Unfortunately the Magazine came out too late in 1960 for our appeal for other Aularians to be in time for the last Dinner, and two at 1east have had to postpone the pleasure of joining us until 1961 when we plan our third Dinner. Just in case this issue is in time (no reflection upon those concerned-the _writer well knows the problems of magazine production), any Aularian within striking distance of Leeds who would like to have details of the 1961 Dinner should write to G. K. Johnston, Leeds Grammar School, Leeds 6.

Those present were: The Principal ; Ald. J. S. Te1mant (1909); T. G. C. Woodford (1930); A. Monkman (1931); Rev. N. E. McCurry, I. B. Perrott (1937); M. W. Pitt, Rev. B. B. Russell

He was ordained in 1917 to a title at Bakewell, Derbyshire, and in 1915 was appointed Lecturer at Bishop Heber College, Trichinopoly, Ceylon, two years later being made Chaplain to the Forces. After being Vicar of St. Paul's, Daybrook, Notts., from 1919 to 1924 he was Principal of St. Christopher's College, Blackheath, from 1926 to 1931, and then Rector of Bedale, Yorkshire, from 1931 to 1938, when he moved to Chichester. A Fellow of the Woodard Corporation, he was Provost of Lancing from 1944 until his death, and the cause of Christian education was always one of his chief interests.

Group Captain John Roy Hugh Merifield, D.S.O., D.F.C., A.F.C., was killed in a helicopter accident on l June l96r. Born in Southampton and educated at King Edward VI School there, he was a commoner of the Hall from 193 8 to 1940. A keen member of the O.U. Air Squadron, he joined the R.A.F. on the outbreak of war and had a distinguished career, being engaged particularly in planning and executing difficult and dangerous photographic reconnaissance sorties over N.W. Europe. When the Korean war started, he was one of a small number ¡of R.A.F. officers seconded to the United States Air Force. Attached to the American Sabre (F.86) wing, he flew on twenty combat missions and was awarded the Air Medal by the President of the U.S.A. for courage, aggressiveness and proficiency in frequent encounters with enemy jet aircraft of high performance. Between these two wars he became the fastest man to fly the Atlantic, and on 6 September 1945, he flew from St. Mawgan, Cornwall, to Torbay, Newfoundland, a distance of 2,300 miles, in 6 hours 58 minutes, nearly halving the previous East to West crossing time. At the time of his death, aged 41, he commanded the R.A.F. Station at Khormaksar, Aden.

Brewster Bowen Morgan died on 25 December 1960, aged fifty-five. A graduate of the University of Kansas (A.M., 1927), he came up to the Hall as a Rhodes Scholar in 1927 to begin research on Metternich's Italian policy, about which he published a book in 1930. He was President of the O.U.D.S. in 1929-30, and on going down became a theatrical producer in New York (1931-3).

He was radio director, fir~t for N . W. Ayer and Sons in New York (1935-6), and then for the Columbia Broadcasting System (1936-7) . After that he joined M.G.M. in Hollywood (1937-8) , where he continued as a free-lance (1938-9). He returned to C.B.S. as Director of Programmes (1940-42). From 1942 to 1944 he was Chief of Broadcasting and Communications in the Office of War Information in London before going to France as Chief of Radio and Communications in the Psychological Warfare Branch of 12th Army Group. He returned to the United States at the end of the war and became Director of Program Development, Compton Advertising Inc., New York. Later he went back to Hollywood, and in recent years he had been with California Studios in Los Angeles.

John Crawford (Shane) Toland, who died very suddenly on 27 November 1960, came up in 1926 from Bradfield. He played hockey and tennis for the Hall, being Captain of T ennis in 1929.

On going down he took a post with Bullock Brothers in Rangoon, but the firm had already been mortally hit by the depression before he arrived, although it survived until 1933¡ On his return to England he joined Eburite Corrugated Containers at Park Royal.

CLUBS AND SOCIETIES THE DEBATING SOCIETY

MICHAELMAS TERM President: C. WYMER Vice-President: W. S. YEOWART Secretary: I. M. WALKER AT THE FIRST DEBATE the Secretary moved the motion 'This House considers that the standards of Oxford will fall after the cessation of National Service', with his customary vigour, finding a capable supporter in Mr. S. C. Wilkinson. The opposition of Mr. G. E. A. Kentfield and Mr. H. W. S. Norvill proved too strong.

In a lighter vein Mr. F. H. Bird moved 'That this House would rather marry Mrs. Beaton than Brigette Bardot', advocating that Mrs. Beeton would improve with age. Despite support from Mr. T. W. Cooper, the motion was defeated owing to the formidable opposition of Mr.]. N. Davie and Mr.]. L. Law. The last motion 'That this House prefers Communist domination to Nuclear Annihilation', proposed by Mr. Y. A. Lovelock and Mr. J. H. Ferns, was carried in the face of arguments provided by Mr. B. Shayler and Mr. E. F. Korn.

I.M.W.

HILARY TERM President: C. WYMER Vice-President: I. M. WALKER Secretary: H. W. S. NoRVILL It was decided that there should be also a Committee of Mr. ].

Dixon, Mr. H. J• Ferns and Mr. S. E. Hiscocks to strengthen the Society.

Mr. Y. A. Lovelock and Mr. R. Cox carried the motion 'This House has more faith in honest doubt than in all the creeds', opposed

by Mr. H.]. Ferns and Mr .. D. B. Mash, in a debate which concentrated on inessentials and ended in confusion.

The last debate, 'This House considers that the Public House has done more for the nation than the Public School' was much livelier.

Proposed by Mr. S. E. Hiscocks and Mr.]. W. Cooper and opposed

by Mr. D. L. Perrott and Mr. R. Pennington, the motion evoked heated discussion and was only carried by an odd vote.

ESSAY SOCIETY

MICHAELMA S TERM President: J. A. THROWER TH E TERM began safely enough in 'The Presence of God' for this was indeed the title of the essay which with Mr. D. K. R. Gerrard opened our proceedings. Mr. J. S. M . Harpham, significantly shrouding his topic in an old Arabic proverb to the effect that 'Relations are Scorpions' proceeded at our next meeting to introduce the majority of us to the mysteries and complexities, not to mention the exciting possibilities of atonal music, whilst Mr. Charles Wymer, safely back from spending his summer vacation copper mining in Rhodesia, sought to discuss with us the racial, economic and constitutional problems of that region; though he took good care to spice his essay with humorous personal reminiscences. True to form Mr. D. Bartles-Smith, in 'Pride and Prejudice', attacked and called into question our middle class way of life and pleaded with the society that it should free itself from the moral and intellectual strait-jacket induced by our upbringing, urging upon us a more individual response to our situation. Mr. W. D. H. Seller invited us to stretch our minds and our credibility and to take a new look at the evidence for the supernatural and Mr. John Walters, whose home is at Alfreton in the Erewash Valley, sought, by means of extensive yet always apt quotation from D. H. Lawrence to evoke our respect for that stretch of country, and to convince us of its importance for a true appreciation of its greatest son. The President closed the terms proceedings by first discussing the 'essay' form itself and then seeking to prick the 'hubris' to which our society is prone by showing the impossibility of certainty of all but our own existence.

J.A.T.

HILARY TERM President: J. D.

KESBY

At the first meeting of term A. B. Holdsworth spoke about 'Landscape', not only the desolate heaths of Wessex but the skylines of the big towns and the exciting beat of Oxford's traffic. J. N. Davie wrote about 'Leisure'. Leisure activities w ere not, it was agreed, the same for graduate and gasman. The debate was fierce, and more friction attended the reading of R. J. Bishop's 'Two Cultures' on the gulf between artists and scientists. At the fourth meeting, after a swift removal necessitated by the arrival of the Heritage Society complete with India~ musical instruments, D. F. 39

Braund, in 'Mutatis Mutandis' suggested that art was something beyond the mastery of technique shown by artists. ]. L. Hibberd in his essay 'As the Night the Day', used Nietsche's 'Zarathustra' as a starting point for a discussion of the limits of an individual's freedom of action. ]. L. Smith, looking back on the term's essays asked, as our elder literatus, whether they were essays at all. His own essay 'Essaies of Biass' urged us to cultivate true essays! At the last meeting the President had again to solve the conilict between writing on a subject with some intellectual bite which would still avoid heavy sweated discussion. He tried by writing on the 'American West', and his essay 'Westward the Wagons' dealt with the attraction of the relatively simple dramatic situations of 'westerns' to people who cannot use fists and gw1s without getting into trouble with the police.

J.D.K. TRINITY TERM President: ]. L.

SMITH

To commemorate the 7ooth meeting of the Society which fell during this Term, a silver cigarette-box was purchased and suitably inscribed, and a series of essays by distinguished ex-Presidents arranged. Mr. D. I. Scargill plunged the Society into a court case.

Fluorescent socks, diminishing bathing trilllks, and The mating call ~f the lesser A.J.S. were cited during the Trial of the Etiolated Male.

Members demanded an acquittal with special pleas for polyandry, monasticism, or mass warfare. Mulled claret was served to the 42 members and guests, including nine ex-Presidents, who assembled, on May 7 for the anniversary meeting. The Rev. E. G. Midgley reading his essay '. . . and quietly flows . . .', presented a gently autumnal reverie of anniversaries treasured in the Hall for their assurance of stability' beneath movement, their liberation of timeless moments in Time Remembered, where the moment of the rose and the moment of the yew-tree are of equal duration. Mr. A.]. Featherstone carried our hindsight even further, past the Upper Third and the intricacies of Amononamat to Milton' s educational programme, where military drill whipped up an appetite for supper, and practical sea-warfare held an honourable place in the curriculum. It was particularly fitting that Mr. G. E. Wiley should return to Oxford for his attack on linguistic philosophers whose Flatus vocis served only to express the scientifically verifiable. The Society pressed on boldly, to reject logical positivism and reinstate a function of language which recorded fact and feeling, statement and persuasion.

Yet Mr. R. W. Truman affirmed that modern oratory could boast Neither wit, nor words, nor worth; rhetoric had lost its motivation.

40

Where, he demanded, were the sins of yesteryear? Where was gluttony? The mustard-quearns and galley-gawks, the skillets and those long dishes so sensibly made for rabbits have passed away with the vice they served, and the modern rhetorician was dumb.

The Society was left to encourage vituperation, a passive-enough response compared with the Protest and Angst which Mr. J. A. Thrower saw as the two means of combating beatnik nihilism and the threat of mushroom, and other, clouds. It remained for the President to carry out some hasty salvage work for squares, and to present, in Carmen Saeculare, some tape recordings to illustrate the decline and fall of the popular song.

THE MUSICAL SOCIETY President: J. S. M. Secretary: D. K.

HARPHAM BOWEN

THE SOCIETY has had a most successful year, maintaining the high standards set last year by G. R. Crosse and D. H. Phillips. Much of the credit for this must go to B. K. Jeffery, the Hearne Senior Scholar, who has conducted the choir and performed on the lute at each concert this year.

In the Michaelmas Term the Society departed from its custom of holding a choral concert in St. Peter' s in the East, in favour of a mainly instrumental concert in Dining Hall, as there are now many instrumentalists in the Hall. The customary Choral Concert was, however, held in St. Peter's in the Eighth Week of Hilary T erm; the main work was a Mass by Victoria, 'O Quam Gloriosum Est Regnum'.

The audiences at both these concerts were appreciative, but disappointingly small; however-in the Summer Concert in Eights Week about one hundred 'and thirty people crowded into Dining Hall when incipient frost forced us out of the quadrangle.

The concert began with a trumpet fanfare from the gallery, continued with songs (including a song cycle by K. J. W. CrossleyHolland, set to music by J. S. M. Harpham, which was ably performed by Gene Lewis (our guest artiste in each concert this year) and D. B. Mash), instrumental solos and ensembles, and ended with a rending of the Toy Symphony erroneously attributed to J. Haydn; the sympathies of the audience were here torn between Mr. Ramsay's brilliant interpretation of the quail solos, chirruping Mr. Kolve's nightingale and The Rev. Graham ('Cuckoo') Midg-

41

ley's missed entry. T. J. Quinn appeared from the depths of the Metallurgy Laboratory to lead the orchestra, and the final chord ended the concert and the year's programme at I I. I 5 p.m.

THE JOHN OLDHAM SOCIETY

MICHAELMAS TERM President: D. MURRAY-JOHN Secretary: F. DI RIENZO the Society took part in the annual O.U.D.S. Drama Cuppers competition, with N. F. Simpson's 'The Hole', produced

by M. S. Shaw and D. C. Lerner. The cast consisted of L. Boyes, R. Collings, H. Ferns, E. Korn and B. Forster, with Miss P. Tranfield and Miss N. Shepherd. Blessed with a most enthusiastic audience, the production managed to win the contest. A celebration supper was held in the Emden Room, at which the guests included the Principal, the Dean and the Treasurer of O.U.D.S. Several play readings were held, Farquhar' s 'Beaux' Stratagem' being especially noteworthy on account of some remarkable falsetto performances by members of the Society.

The annual trip to Stratford took place this term, about thirty members seeing the production of 'Troilus and Cressida'.

THIS TERM,

HILARY TERM The Society's activities this term were restricted to an entry (for the first time) in the O.U.D.S. Recorded Cuppers contest. M. S. Shaw and D. C. Lerner produced the latter's adaptation of Chaucer' s 'Pardoner's Tale', with J. Harpham in charge of technicalities.

Leading parts were played by F. di Rienzo, J. Griffin and B. Terry.

Unfortunately, we did not succeed in reaching the final stages of the adj udication, but the venture was most enjoyable, especially in the production of solind effects, which were all very home-made and occupied a riotous Saturday evening.

TRINITY TERM President: F. DI RIEN zo Secretary: D. C. LERNER This term, readings were held of 'Trial by Judge', a new play by Peter Dale (St. Peter's Hall), and Arthur Miller's 'A View from the Bridge', produced respectively by Y. Lovelock and H. Ferns.

42

The main concern, however, was of course the summer production. This year we were fortunate in securing the Playhouse, and the President produced Ibsen' s 'A Doll's House'. A review of this appears elsewhere in the Magazine. The term's activities were wound up by a subsequent party for those concerned in the production.

WILKINSON

of term, Mr. A. E. Firth of University College, read a paper on 'Sir Lewis Namier's influence on the writing of history', emphasising the difference between Namier and those who had misused his methods.

On 18 November, the Society held its Tenth Anniversary Dinner, with Mr. W. A. Pantin of Oriel College as guest of honour.

It was a memorable meal, worthy of the care lavished upon it by Mr. A. G. Furness.

The last meeting of term was addressed by Professor E. F. Jacob of All Souls' College on 'Some thoughts upon later Mediaeval York', giving a wonderful insight into the relations between the Church and the City.

AT THE FIRST MEETING

HILARY TERM The term opened with Mr. F. D. Price of Keble College reading a paper on 'An Elizabethan Ecclesiastical Scandal'. Using Bishop Bullingham and Chancellor Blackleach as examples, he showed how the Ecclesiastical Courts had fallen into disrepute and were so hated

by Puritan moralists.

At the second meeting, Mr. J. M. Prest of Balliol College spoke on 'The Nazi view of German History', based on material from German school text-books.

In his presidential paper, Mr. A. P. Wilson discussed 'Sir George Downing, Seventeenth Century Careerist'-an apt title, for though a trimmer, Downing could be regarded as the architect of British Mercantilism.

43

TRINITY TERM The sole n1-eeting of this term was a special occasion, for Dr. A. B. Emden, speaking beneath his portrait in the Emden Room, combined both wit and learning to give a stimulating talk on 'The Early History of St. Edmund Hall' -emphasising the luck he experienced in discovering some of the sources .

THE LIDDON SOCIETY

MICHAELMAS TERM President: D. L. BARTLES-SMITH Secretary: H. E. WILCOX THE YEAR'S ACTIVITIES started with the Freshers' port and coffee party when the Dean spoke on 'Religion in Oxford'. On 21 October the Rev. Dr. T. M. Parker gave a talk on 'The Historical Evidence for the Resurrection'. A Brains Trust was convened on r November. The Chaplain was in the chair and the other members of the panel were the Dean and Dr. Series. On r 3 November Fr. M. Hollings, S.J. (Religious Adviser to I.T.V.) spoke on 'Evangelism through Mass Media' and a full term's programme ended on 28 November when Professor I. T. Ramsey read a paper on ' Are Christians Intellectually honest?'

HILARY TERM President: D. L. BARTLES-SMITH Secretary: H . E. WILCOX At the first meeting of term the Rev. Chad Varah spoke on 'Preventing suicide: the work of "The Samaritans" ' which opened the eyes of the Society to the urgency and extent of this problem.

On 3r January the Society met to hear a recorded talk by the Rev. Dr. J. I. Packer on 'The Authority of the Bible' which provoked lively and at times sharp discussion. At the Society's Annual Dinner, held in the Forum Restaurant the Guest of Honour was Mr. F. F. Fisher, Warden of St. Edward's School. On 28 February Canon H. A. Blair a distinguished ex-President spoke on 'Christian Unity and Power'. The resulting discussion was carried on almost into March! On 7 March the Rev. Paul Burrough, Bishop of Birmingham's Chaplain to West Indians spoke to the Society on the spiritual and moral problems of coloured immigrants to this country.

44

TRINITY TERM President: P. G. BRETT Secretary: G. E. A. KENTFIELD It was decided to hold only two meetings this term in realistic acceptance of other attractions during the summer drawing members from theological discussions. On 23 April Dr. C. M. Chavasse spoke on 'Whither the Church?' discussing the place of the Church in the modern world. On 16 May the Rev. R. S. Sanger spoke on 'Making God real' concentrating on work among young people.

Throughout the year the Society has worked to encourage a greater interest in positive Christianity and to increase the number of regular Commmucants in Chapel. Society Prayers have been held at r.45 p.m. every Thurdsay and the average attendance has been high.

G.E.A.K.

THE SOCIETY OF COSMOGRAPHERS President: A. B. HOLDSWORTH Secretary: G. D. WILSON DURING THE YEAR the society has continued to flourish in its customary fashion. While not aspiring to the claim that the Society's activities are reflected in the Schools results, one hopes that the congenial functions encourage the members over their academic hurdles.

The cocktail party was held in the Michaelmas term where new members met the less new. Towards the end of Hilary term the annual Buffet Dinner took place which aimed at conviviality rather than formality. Guests from other colleges included Dr. Butt and Miss Sweeting, but only Mr. Gullick spoke a few well-chosen words and several others from a letter written by an esteemed Middle Eastern gentleman. The eve1ung concluded with beer in the Quad and those of us whose time had not expired looked forward to another round of Cosmographical activities next year, G.D.W.

THE QUANTA

MICHAELMAS AND HILARY TERMS Chairman: P. V. KITE Secretary: S. F. LAURENCE AFTER a fallow Michaelmas term, the society heard two talks in Hilary term, the first from Dr. D. F. Brewer of the Clarendon Laboratory on liquid helium. He removed some of the myths 45

surrounding this fascinating fluid and outlined probable explanations of its anomalous properties. Dr. ]. Christian from the Department of Metallurgy gave the second talk, on 'Dislocations in Metals', showing how the idea of imperfections in crystals could lead to a theoretical formulation of many of the observed properties of metals such as strength and ductility.

TRINITY TERM Chairman: M.]. M. SALTMARSH Secretary: N. A. M. WALLIS Dr. M. A. Grace of Christ Church gave the only lecture of term on a relatively new topic in nuclear physics, the M15ssbauer effect, discovered, as Dr. Grace encouragingly told us, by a young research student. It deals with the reasonance scattering of gamma rays by radio-active osmium and is finding immediate application in the very accurate measurement of small frequency changes. In particular it has been used to test the General Theory of Relativity.

It is hoped to arrange a dinner for the society towards the end of Michaelmas term.

N.A.M.W.

THE CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE SOCIETY President: ]. H. ALEXANDER THE SOCIETY has held three meetings this year. In the Michaelmas Term]. S. Rayner read a paper on the minor poetry of Ezra Pound, giving us a lucid summary of the pre-Canto work.

At the first meeting of Hilary term A. P. Gorringe gave a stimulating analysis of style in contemporary newspapers, devoting most of his time to a detailed comparison of treatments of the same events by different newspapers. K. T. W. Crossley-Holland concluded the term's work with an exceptionally interesting and sensitive analysis of R. S. Thomas, under the title of 'A Priest and his People'.

The Society wishes to express its gratitude to the Dean by whose kind permission meetings continue to be held in his study.

J.H.A.

THE CHESS CLUB Captain: M.A. VOISEY Secretary: M. 0. C. JoY CONSIDERING that two years ag~ the Hall Chess Club did not exist, great strides forward have been made, so that we are definitely among the leading chess colleges in the University. This year in the first division of the League we finished second, losing only to Merton, an improvement of six places on last year. Although last year we were only able to put in one league team, this year we had five; out of 130 matches played only two were defaulted. The second league team had a very successful season in. Division III and finished third thus obtaining promotion to Division II. The third league team also played very well in Division V and narrowly missed promotion, being second in the league.

In Cuppers we reached the final, defeating on the way St. John's, Oriel, New College (the holders) and Wadham, meeting Lincoln in the final. On paper we stood little chance. Lincoln had won all their matches and our team was out of practice. Despite a great fight the match was lost 2-4.

M. 0. C. Joy, M.A. Voisey, G. C. Warner, R. L. Snelgrove and P. L. Browne all played for the University throughout the season and the other member of the Cuppers team who had also played for the University the previous season, was J. N. Davie.

THE SCOPE CLUB President I: A. E. J. President II: D. A.

PHILLIPS CLARKE

took place quietly at the beginning of the Hilary term, under the leadership of A. E. J. Phillips, President The First. Now the cult of Scoping is growing, it is eating into the country with greed and malignity, it will not be stamped out.

Already an offshoot has been fostered in Durham, poised for border raids, and whisperings are coming out of the metropolis.

You can see them in various places all over the land-the twelve founder-members of this sect which is spreading in fame and influence. Or you can see them collectively in Oxford at one of the thrice-yearly Scoping Congresses which last eight weeks. Yet those who are about to head the Roll of Honour have worn anxious faces during the summer conference, for they are aware that the THE REVOLUTION

47

Revolution has not been without teething troubles, and that there are many problems to be faced under the new regime.

For one thing the design of the tie is creating unforeseen difficulties.

You see, the eyes look to the left the whole of the time. This is because cinemas always come at you from the left (although atmospherics may not make it appear so) and the eyes, in their permanent and purposeful search, have added to the peculiar question of crossing the road in Oxford. Perhaps you've noticed a scoper, in uniform, revolve once at the kerbside to allow his eyes a clear view. Perhaps you've seen the Assembly of Twelve sitting in a line in the cinema, facing right, or heard them ask ladies to remove their hats, since the eyes on the ties are not very tall , and no one wants a tear-stained tie.

Again, within a very short time revolution was followed by counter-rebellion. One member who attempted treason was excommunicated; it was brought to my notice that the usherettes at the Ritz were allowing people to leave during an actual performance, and on the same day-in the afternoon in fact-the icecream girl at the Regal stood with her back to the adverts. Regular inspections by the Disciplinary Officer and compulsory outings have put down the insurrection.

Such has been the reception in England to the appearance of a Scope Club that in the near future it is probable that Scoping will have to be done on a staggered basis. This is regrettable, bu,t the cinemas in England are alas too few to accomodate the whole population at the Monday night compulsory outing, and we have learned from the Happidrome incident-which went off like a cannon with fourteen thousand people inside it.

No, it looks as though Scoping will have to be based on a regional system if England is to reassert itself as a world power. No one wishes our export trade to be hit if the giant factories grind to a halt each Monday evening, production ceases, and there is only an uncanny silence brooding over everywhere, a stillness like death, except for the quiet ticking of the reels. It seems instead that the plan is for London and the West to be allotted Monday night, the North Tuesday, Wales Wednesday, the Midlands Thursday, and so on. I myself can see no objection to this plan, and thus it is that I think, with practice and hard effort from everyone, that Scoping could be fitted easily into the boredom of our day-to-day lives.

D.A.C. (The Editors think that an explanatory note is required to the above report as new readers may not realise exactly what the activities of the Scope Club are ! It exists to encourage the social viewing of moving pictures and arranges communal outings once

a week to a local moving-picture theatre, the theatre being selected the previous week after proper discussion of the various moving pictures offered for our entertainment in O xford. The 'tie' referred to in the report is the club tie: a field azure, two eyes gules and sable surmounting a cine camera sable.)

MICHAELMAS TERlvI

TWO FO URS trained for a week at Henley under E. G. L. Howitt, Esq. before term started. Back in Oxford the first IV trained under its coach Dr. D. H. Richards and the second IV under C. E. L. Mather, Esq. On the Saturday before the races both crews handsomely beat the first IV of St. Catharine' s, Cambridge.

The first IV improved with each race, the highlight being in the final when it beat a Keble crew containing three Olympic oarsmen ¡ by rn seconds. The second IV was generally reckoned to be the fourth fastest crew in Oxford.

The Hall entered three crews for the Christ Church Regatta. The Shell VIII, coached by P. J. R eynolds and A. J. Goddard won their event, beating St. Catherine's convincingly. The following week they also won the Queen's Long distance race and on the final Saturday of term competed in a Regatta organised by London Rowing Club, defeating all except what was to become the London Grand Crew.

J. C. D. Sherratt, M. L. Pelham, C. W. Holden and B. T. C. Morris were awarded senior trial caps; E. A. S. Hutchinson and S. C. Farmer rowed in Junior Trials; Sherratt, together with the old blues, R. C. Bate and P. J. Reynolds later rowed in the University crew.

The First Torpid started training a week before term under C. E. L. Mather, Esq., M . L. Pelham and S. A. Mackenzie, Esq. On the first three nights the Hall held all challengers ~th ease, but on the final night a combination of the disadvantage of the centre station and the strain of defending the headship told, and a powerful St. John's crew rowed by in the last half minute.

The Second Torpid covered itself with glory, going up one place each night. They were coached by D. S. Dormor, Esq., C. W .

Holden and B. T . C. Morris.

The Novices of the previous term formed the Third Torpid, coached by Bill Smith, Esq., and E. A. S. Hutchinson. On the first two nights they were penalised for touching one of the many marking buoys, but gained a place on each of the succeeding nights.

TRINITY TERM The First VIII started training at Streetly under the Rev. Paul Burrough and Dr. D. H. Richards. The VIII moved to Henley for the last ten days before Eights Week where D. H. Mays- Smith, Esq. instilled more rhythm into the rowing. On no night in Eights 51

week did we finish less than three clear lengths clear of Christ Church and on the Thursday the distance was nearer five lengths.

The second VIII started training before term under C. E. L. Mather, Esq. and J. C. D. Sherratt. Although they were bumped on the second night by St. Peter's Hall, they caught the first crews of St. Catherine' s and W adham, thus improving on their starting position and remaining the highest second crew on the river.

The third VIII were coached by E. A. S. Hutchinson and rewarded his efforts by making four bumps. Their success was particularly satisfying as no member of the crew had rowed before coming up.

The Schools VIII, coached by S. C. Farmer rowed with a gay abandon and bumped on three nights. J. H. Campbell and J. C. Goddard ensured the welcome reappearance of a Rugger VIII which rowed furiously and at times remarkably well, making two bumps in the process. A Novice crew was also formed. They did not gain a place but showed their promise by defeating a Magdalen College School VIII at the Oxford City Regatta the following week.

Thus ended what must have been in many ways the most successful Eights Week of all tirrie for the Club.

This includes a victory over the R.A.S.C. Aldershot by six wickets, R. Large, R. Walmsley and A. MacLachlan all coming within three runs of a half century. Radley College were beaten by seven wickets with a half century from G. Warner. During the season half centuries were also scored by A. McCallum, T. Cass, J. McPartlin, P. Frost and C. Atkinson. R. McCullagh and R. Large both scored over 200 in the season. The bowling was dominated by M. Oldaker who took fifty wickets.

Seven colours-more than usual-were awarded to: T. Cass, R. Couzens, R. Large, A. McCallum, A. MacLachlan, M. Wadsworth and G. Warner.

The following elections were made for next season: Captain: A. MacLachlan. Vice-Captain: G. R. Walmsley. Secretary: T. G. Coghlin.

THE RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB Captain: R. M. JARMAN Secretary: B. ROBSON

MICHAELMAS TERM AFTER AN EXCELLENT START with convincing victories over Lincoln and Wor,cester, the lst League XV slipped against the Hall's voodoo team in this League, Keble. Despite a fine victory by 32-3 over Brasenose, the Hall lost to St. John's and Trinity, the latter game deciding the contest and leaving Trinity clear winners of the First League. Notable victories outside the league were over Shrivenham and the Old Oxford Citizens.

The Second XV had a splendid term and won all the games in their league, scoring one hundred and ninety four points in six games.

The following members of the Club were invited by the Captain of the O.U.R.F.C. to play against Cambridge: J. J. McPartlin, B. L. Spencer, D. M. Davies, F. H. ten Bos, L. L. Filby and P. J. Bentley.

HILARY TERM After a shaky start in Cuppers with an I 1-5 win over the Queen's College, the Cuppers XV settled down to register a splendid win over Balliol by 21-3. On a day of brilliant sunshine the Hall faced Brasenose College whose record run of five wins in a row was in danger of being broken. In a dull game, marked only by the high standard of the goal kicking, the Hall lost 6-3. The absence of captain Jarman and several other key players had a drastic effect on the team's morale.

In the friendly games, the Hall had splendid victories over Southampton University and a powerful XV from Emmanuel College, Cambridge. The finest defeat was at the hands of a strong west country club, Lydeney, by a mere 3-10.

The second XV did not have such a successful term.

Colours were awarded to: C. D. Harvey, Sir A. T. Outram, A. McCallum, C. E. Sykes, M.A. Ware,J. D. Hincks, A. E.J. Phillips, A. B. Holdsworth, R. D. Haddon, S. R. Hogg, R. Hopley, W.R. Large, P. N. Davies, M. Beard.

Officers for the season 1961-2: Captain: B. Robson. Secretary: S. R. Hogg.

THE ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL CLUB Captain: C. J. STYLES Secretary: C. R. HIGGS

HILARY TERM THE FIRST ROUND of Cuppers we beat Hertford comfortably, 5-I. The second round against Brasenose, which proved to be a vital game, was played on their ground. Brasenose were favourites for the competition but the fitness and team-play of the Hall again assured us of a good win, 3-0. The semi-final of Cuppers was not as easy as the score would suggest. Hall lead only by one goal at half-time, but with five more goals in the second half we were ¡ through to the Final with a convincing margin. The Final was played in ideal conditions at Iffiey Road. The first half was even but the Hall established a 2- r lead with goals from Styles and Ralphs.

Despite Styles sustaining a badly damaged ankle five minutes from the final whistle, the Hall defence kept Queen's at bay and two late goals by Notley clinched the game 4-I. We would like to thank Percy James for his invaluable help during the term. His coaching proved one of the greatest reasons for the term's success.

During the season we played friendly games against Brentwood (lost 7-4), Icarus (Lost 3-2) and Alleyn's School (Draw 3-3 ).

Colours were awarded to D.R. Worsley, M.J. Notley,]. Lawson, J. Denning, J. Phillips, M. Ralph, R.H. C. Waters, D. Smith.

The Cuppers Team was: D. R. Worsley, B. W. Faulkner, R. H. C. Waters, R. W. Jackson, M. Ries, M. Wadsworth, D. Smith, D. Clarke, C. J. Styles, J. Lawson, M. Ralph, M. J. Notley.

Officers for 1961- 2: Captain: B. W. Faulkner. Secretary: M. J. Notley.

THE HOCKEY CLUB Captain: M. OLDAKER Hon. Secretary: G. C. L. COOPER THE MICHAELMAS TERM was disappointing because, with a strong side, we lost, amid rain and wind and mud, to University College in the semi-final of the Cuppers competition.

In the Hilary term we were for the most part spared the rain which blighted the previous term and enjoyed a programme of league and friendly matches. We maintained a healthy position in 55

the first division of the league, and, despite a very variable side, we overcame some strong opposition in the friendly matches.

The Hall, as usual, took a side to the Folkstone Hockey Festival.

The standard of hockey was high and it was pleasing to come away with a victory over Teddington, one of the stronger teams in the Festival. It proved to be a highly successful four days, but we hope that more Blues and Occasionals will turn out to play for the Hall in future Festivals.

I. D. Taylor, M. A. Elmitt, D. B. Pithey, R. A. Payn and M. Y eger represented the University against Cambridge at Burlingham. C. Atkinson, D. Chapallaz, G. Cooper, C. Long and M. Roberts were elected to the Occasionals.

The following officers were elected for next season: Captain: G. C. L. Cooper. Hon. Secretary: A. MacLachlan.

G.C.L.C.

THE LAWN TENNIS CLUB Captain: R. W. JACKSON Secretary: C. D. H. HARVEY THE SEASON began with a five-day tour in and aronnd Dublin.

Unfortnnately a last minute soccer injury prevented the captain from coming but the other seven Old Colours declared themselves fit and willing to face a break from their books. Four matches were played, the first being lost to Gormanston College 5-4 as was the match against the Fitzwilliam Club, 7-2. Victories were achieved against the Elm Park Club and University College, Dublin.

The Irish weather behaved beautifully nntypically and the Irish hospitality surpassed itself to make this a thoroughly enjoyable tour which we hope will often be repeated.

At the beginning of term¡ Christ Church jolted us with a 9-2 defeat in the first League match, but with a full team we gained an 8-I victory over St. Catherine's, the favourites for the title.

In Cuppers we met and defeated University College 6-o and met St. Catherine' s in the final. A 9-5 victory brought the Tennis Cup home to Hall.

The following have represented the first VI: M. E. Morris, ]. A. H. Curry, R. W. Jackson, S. D. H. Harvey, A.]. Outram, M. Yeger, C. J. Atkinson, G. C. Warner, K. T. W. CrossleyHolland, A. C. Garrod, R. Clark, S. Chislett and M. Oakley.

C.D.H.H.

THE ATHLETIC CLUB President: M. RALPH Secretary: H. WHEELER THE ATHLETIC YEAR has been a bad one for the Hall. Our illustrious forebears had left us with the Cuppers Trophy, the Relays and Field Events Cups, but during the season all these have been wrested from us. We were perhaps rather unlucky to go down to Exeter in the 3rd Row1d of Cuppers, when we competed with an injury hit side.

Individually some of our Athletes have done well. C. Van Dyck, D. Hahn and M. Ralph competed in the Varsity Match, whilst P. Blair and freshman R. Harvey, the Cross Country Blue, ran in the Centipedes match against Cambridge. Other Freshman, H. Wheeler and M. Ware have done well in the throwing events.

Our objective now is to build a team strong enough to take back the Cup at present on limited loan to B.N.C.

THE CROSS-COUNTRY CLUB Captain: P. H. BLAIR

MICHAELMAS TERM AFTER LAST YEAR's successful season we arranged an ambitious programme for this term which turned out however to be a disappointing one for the Hall, owing to injuries and the fact that important members of the club were often involved in University fixtures.

Out of the fourteen fixtures we were defeated nine times and won five, often against good provincial w1iversity teams and once against a crack club team, Bristol A.C. In Cuppers we finished a close fifth.

HILARY TERM In the Shrewsbury New Year's Eve 'round the houses race' to which we sent a team for the first time, we finished eighth out of thirteen. Most satisfying was our defeat of an admittedly depleted St. Catherine' s team-the season's ci:p winners.

Apart from the inter-college Cross Country League in which we were placed third equal, the main events of the term were the Hyde Park Road-relay race and our own annual road-relay race.

57

In the former a depleted team led for the first two legs, but could only finish thirty eighth out of seventy-three teams-a slight improvement on last y~ar. More impressive was out position of fifth in our own race, successfully held in mid-February but in a temperature more appropriate to mid-July. Queens' ¡ College, Cambridge were easy winners in a fast record time. They were presented with a cup, awarded for the first time this year through the generosity of the Amalgamated Sports Fm1d and individual members of the Cross-country Club.

G. R. Walmsley was elected Captain for next year.

P.H.B. THE SQUASH RACKETS CLUB Captain: G. A. B. CONWAY-GORDON Secretary:]. D. GURNEY WITH A NUMBER of keen and competent freshmen, it was easy to find teams throughout both terms. The first and second teams won more .than half of their matches. The League team dropped to fourth in the first division. The Cuppers team beat St. Catherine' s College in the first round, but were unfortunate to meet the eventual winners, Worcester College, in the next, and were beaten.

Prospects for next season are good as none of the team is going down.

At the end of the season colours were awarded to C.]. Atkinson, R. C. S. Clark, G. L. W. Ritchie and K. L. Crossley-Holland. The following elections were made: Captain: ]. D. Gurney. H on.

Secretary: R. C. S. Clark.

J.D.G. THE BADMINTON CLUB Captain: A. D. BECK Secretary: K. BOWEN (Michaelmas T erm) M. OAKLEY (Hilary T erm) THE CLUB was fairly successful during the first season, no teams being promoted or relegated from their respective leagues. Apart from St. Catherine's College, the Hall was the only college to enter three teams in the league competition. This was done with some difficulty as not many able Freshers joined the club at the beginning of the year.

58

We had little success in Cuppers. Having drawn a bye in the Preliminary Competition the Hall was soundly beaten by St. Catherine' s in the following round. The number of friendly matches was reduced although the usual fixtures against Westminster Training College and the O.U. Ladies Badminton Club were played, the latter being at least a social success.

Three of the Cuppers IV have gone down and we urgently need new players. Next year only two teams have been entered for the League competition.

Colours were awarded to J. Dixon and M. Oakley. The officers for next year are: Captain: M. Oakley. Secretary: J. Dixon.

M.R.O.

THE SWIMMING CLUB Captain: D. K.

BOWEN

was strengthened considerably this year by the arrival of G. B. Kerr and J. F. Adey, who have swum regularly for the Dolphins swimming and water-polo teams. D. A. G. Morris and R. Hopley played well as backs in the club's polo team, and L. L. Filby or D. K. Bowen played in goal. The team won all their matches in the Michaelmas term water-polo league, pulling up from bottom (as we could not field a team last year) to fifth; the medley relay team, aided by T. E. Evans, also did well, ending in the second division.

Our high hopes for cuppers in the Hilary term were dashed when almost all the team were injured in more vulgar sports just before the first round.

The Farrand Cup was swum over the traditional course in the Isis on 14 June, and the Dean presented the Cup to G. B. Kerr and the tankard for second place to J. F. Adey. All the eight competitors survived the course.

G. B. Kerr has been appointed Captain for the coming season.

D.K.B. THE CLUB

THE TABLE TENNIS CLUB Captain: J. A. H. CURRY Secretary : J. H. PHILLIPS

of last year's Cuppers side still in residence and the addition of several accomplished and experienced Freshmen, we looked forward to a most successful season, and our hopes were not disappointed.

WITH ALL

59

In the League we finished top of Division II, thereby gaining promotion to Division r. We won all our league matches, three without losing a game.

In Cuppers we were unfortm1ate to be drawn against a St. Catherine' s side composed entirely of University players. A stern fight with several very close games only proved a prelude to an inevitable defeat.

The Cuppers side was: J. A. H. Curry, M. E. Morris, P. C. Simpson.

Colours were awarded to P. C. Simpson and R. L. E. Collings who were also elected Captain and Secretary respectively for next season.

J.H.P. THE GOLF CLUB

Captain: R. K M. IRVING Secretary: W. D. H. SELLAR THE GOLF CLUB has continued to function although its resources have been somewhat strained at certain times by the demands of Prelims. and Finals.

D. J. Harrison was awarded his blue for the third consecutive time and tied for the Sunningdale Gold Vase, winning the Gold Medal in a 'sudden death' play-ofÂŁ The Cuppers team, composed of C. J. Atkinson, D. J. Harrison, R. E. M. Irving, R. Kemp and F. H. ten Bos, did not progress beyond the quarter final stage, being eliminated by Lincoln College.

In Trinity Term, as ever, we played St. John's College, Cambridge and various ladies' teams. We beat the former by a convincing margin, but with the latter we carried the principle of chivalry too far and lost in rapid succession to the ladies of Temple, Huntercombe, Frilford Heath and Goring-and-Streatley. To them once more we record our thanks for their kind hospitality.

In the Bullock Cup, D. J. Harrison and K. L. Hinkley-Smith narrowly failed to regain for the Hall the trophy won last year by D. J. Harrison and R. D. Haddon.

W.D.H.S.

THE HILARIAN'S R.F.C. President: R. D. HADDON Secretary: J. D. VAUGHAN THE HILARIANS R.F.C. again enjoyed a successful season. A large number of new members was enrolled and introduced to the post-game activities for which the club is famous.

60

Perhaps the highlight of the season was the match against Downing Squirts at Cambridge. The result was a pointless draw, and it was the only occasion in the club's history when 15 men missed the coach.

We would like to thank the Principal and Fellows for allowing the Hilarians to operate as a minor club, and also Mrs. B. and Flowers for their faithful services.

J.D.V. THE CROQUET CLUB President: D. L. SUMMERS Secretary: D. L. SUMMERS DESPITE POPULAR BELIEF, the club is not a close-knit oligarchy of ladykillers. It exists for the serious purpose of playing a timehonoured sport with yom1g ladies on lawns within the university.

This year we have had two fixtures and both of them were drawn. Our opponents were St. Hugh' s, who volunteered to play against us at croquet, and Somerville, who desired to play with us at croqueton the captain's advice, however, the secretary resisted the subtle innuendo in this invitation.

THE TEAM D. L. Summers-Hoops present no difficulty to this unusual player. However, he still prefers to go round them, and refuses to believe that the object of the game is to go through them. He has never won a match.

K. Hinkley-Smith-The professional of the side and Dunlop subsidised. He was relegated to the second pair after outshining his captain in the first pair. Has his own fan club.

W. D. H. Sellar-Of this member of the team 'The Glasgow Evening Gorbel' has said, in a characteristically epigramatic phrase, 'Hoots'. Claims that croquet was invented by the Scots-promptly dropped for second match.

S. C. Wilkinson-A hearty disguised as an intellectual. Lacks staying power. His white flannels are always immaculate, if a little tight. Has unique way of chipping balls out of flower beds.

M. H. Wadsworth-Spends more time being photographed with our opponents than playing croquet. Must be run in blinkers next year as is easily distracted.

Comments on the ability of the team as a whole have ranged from 'deplorable' to 'utterly deplorable', but nevertheless it is untrue that the team have been offered contracts to play a series of exhibition matches on goat farms in Siberia.

6I

D. L. Summers is reported to be hanging up his mallet at the end of the season. In recognition of his disservices to the game, the team have kindly presented him with a copy of'Teach Yourself Croquet' . .

K. Hinkley-Smith has been appointed next year's President.

D.L.S.

THE JOHN OLDHAM SOCIETY SUMMER PRODUCTION Ibsen does not promise very palatable fare for a summer season when the usual emphasis is on garden productions, delightful extravaganzas giving every rugger man be he ever so mute or clumsy the chance to weild a sword or play the perfect footman.

Frank di Rienzo chose a problematical play with a small cast and ventured on to the Playhouse stage. He chose wisely and the Jolm Oldham Society well maintained its position as one of the ' best College theatre groups.

Frank di Rienzo as actor/producer filled both parts admirably.

His bearing and speaking voice are good and he quickly asserted himself as Torvald Helmer, the loving yet bigoted husband and father. To have raised this production to superlative heights he should have impressed his character earlier in the play. For when he reveals himself absolutely in the final scene the impact was too sudden, too fierce to impart that cloying fear which Nora must have had of her husband.

Nora played by Tusia Werner received much pre-play publicity, not without warrant for she is by far the most competent actress to have appeared under a John Oldham billing for some time. She was extremely poised and confidant-her movements were good and she created immediately the impression of a dollish girl wife with a penchant for macaroons, which she must consume secretly because her husband disapproves.

In this role she was excellent, but there was no developn1ent.

The process of self-realization was not projected-we followed this shallow woman not believing her capable of any profound or deep emotion until the last scene: 'I don't believe any longer in wonderful things happening'with this she leaves her whirn.pering husband- the man who a few moments before had accused her of 'talking like a child'.

The revelation of the doll's house existence was too sudden.

N either Torvald nor Nora had given us an inkling of the tensi on that was mounting, so that the final impact was too sudden, and we AT FIRST SIGHT

62

were left to ask on what reserves of intellect had this woman drawn to make her realise her position.

As Nils Krogstad, Kenneth Johns alias Jim Smith turned in a performance which smacked at times of the Victorian villain-he crouched and leapt-all we needed were the mustachios and mutton-chop whiskers. His intrusion into the macaroon world of Nora Torvald was effective and he typed himself immediately, with the result that his scene with Mrs. Linde, when we might have felt some sympathy for him left him basically unchanged giving little substance to her assurance that she has faith in his real character.

Christine Cranleigh as Christine Linde gave a sympathetic and intelligent performance. H er scene with Nora was one of the best in the play. She, like Nora, moved with assurance on a set that called for precise and deft movement.

John Griffin's Dr. Rank was studiously nervous and pernickettyand excellent characterization of the bachelor doctor, set in his ways and belief, preoccupied with his own demise and incapable of realizing the forces at work within the Doll's House.

Two delightful and well-spoken children completed the Helmer family, adding to the sense of security which was soon to be shattered.

The set designed by John Fox carried perhaps the claustrophobic effect too far. We could have appreciated the secluded life of Nora and Torvald without being presented with a stage at times too cluttered for movement. The detail was good with the exception of the pink canopy at the top of the stairs-a regretable intrusion into a well-designed but small set.

Taken in all this was a good, well-staged production, an excellent evening's theatre. The criticism has been directed mainly at interpretation and the subjective judgement of one is in no way intended to detract from the merits of an eminently enjoyable play.

W.S.Y. SUMMER TOUR-1960 QUIT E early one ni.orning last September, a double-decker onu1ibus of uncertain vintage was to be seen nosing a cautious way down Queen's Lane, and speeding confidently southwards. The lower deck bulged with scenery, costumes on racks, lanterns on stands, properties in baskets, dimmers in boxes, J.C.R. furniture. Upstairs were twenty members of the H all's first theatrical touring conipany.

Within a fortnight, the bus was sighted outside seventeen schools in the south of England : at Farnham, Bexhill and Hove; by Chichester, Southampton and Eastleigh; near the beaches of Bourne-

63

mouth, under the cloistered shades of Winchester and Salisbury, deep in the heart of Wiltshire, and fast in the traffic-jams of Swindon on a Saturday afternoon. Inside the schools-whether public, private or secondary-the company slept, breakfasted and performed.

The play, Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part One, is a text not completely unknown to the English curricula of the Upper School, and so demands a production geared to meet this specialist and highly critical audience.

The cognoscenti of the company may recall other parts of the tour, for the performance behind the wings was almost as interesting as that on the stage. There was that accursed smoke-box, for instance ... or the messenger with .letters for us all, the mysterious case of the ¡disappearing loaf, that public-school charge, Bert's unsound cues, those ovoid tankards, and a latter-day Polonius complete with pauses, starts and cloak-tugging mannerisms. Off-stage, one recalls a Saturday with Mrs. Tarkington, curious happenings in a Methodist chapel, the Binfield-Furness soap opera-or the bats in Swindon barns ! The reception given to the play by the children, and to the players by the teaching-staffs, would indicate that there is a definite value in such a tour, and it is to be hoped that the Society will be able to repeat the venture in future years. The tour was organised, and the play produced, by James Smith.

THE AULARIAN BOOKSHELF THE FOLLOWING PUBLICATIONS by members of the Hall have come to our notice. We would be glad to have news of any such publications for inclusion in this article. We thank all Aularians who have sent us copies of their works in the past year; we are especially glad to receive them and arrange for them to be placed on the Aularian shelves in the Old Library where a collection of books and articles by Aularians past and present is being built up.

THE ENDOWMENT FUND DURING TH E' PAST YEA R the appeal for the Endowment Fund has continued to make steady, if somew hat unspectacular progress.

Gifts, Deeds of Covenant or Bankers' Orders have been received from some new subscribers. By 31 July, when the Hall books were dosed, the total receipts for the financial year, including tax re- _ covered, amounted to £962 l2s. 4d. As the Fund stood at £u,703 l6s. od. at the end of the previous financial year, this means that it has now reached the grand total of £12,666 8s. 4d.

Below is attached a list of subscribers whose subscriptions or gifts had been paid into Lloyds Bank Ltd., Oxford, by 3l 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. N eedless to say, the gratitude of the H all goes out in fullest to all who have so generously contributed.

While no special aJ>peal is being included with the present issue of the Magazine, it is earnestly hoped that old members who are not 66

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. ]. B. Allan Mrs. E. M. Allan (Friend) Mrs. Allen (Friend) M. J. G. Allen R . E.
