ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE Vol. VIII, No. 3

OCTOBER 1963 EDITORS 1962-3: M. L. STATHAM, Editor W. H. HATCHER, Assistant Editor

DE PERSONIS ET REBUS AULARIBUS THE PRINCIPAL THE PRINCIPAL is to be congratulated on his election to an Honorary Fellowship at The Queen's College, where he was a scholar from 1929 to 1934, and also on his appointment as Bishop Paddock Lecturer at the General Theological Seminary, New York. In the latter capacity he spent a fortnight in the United States of America in the second half of March and delivered a course of lectures on the Athanasian Creed. In addition he lectured by invitation at Union Seminary, and preached at Trinity Church, Broadway, and at th e Cathedral of St. John the Divine, Washington. His edition of the Pastoral Epistles in A. and C. Black's series of commentaries appeared in the autumn. He was University preacher in Michaelmas Term last year, and conducted the Three Hours on Good Friday in St. Mary's, Oxford. He has also been appointed by the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury to the governing body of The King's School, and has distributed the prizes at Hammond' s Grammar School, Swaffham, and Durham School. He was guest speaker at Oxford Society dinners held at North Bromley, Kent, and Matlock Bath, Derbyshire. THE FELLOWS THEMAGAZINE congratulates the Vice-principal (Dr. G. D. Ramsay) on his appointment by the General Board to a Special l


Lecturership in Modern History with effect from l August. The Senior Tutor (Mr. C. F. W. R. Gullick), as secretary of the Senior Tutors' Committee, has been greatly occupied with working out the practical operation of the new admissions procedure to the Oxford men's Colleges; he is also Chairman of the public and preparatory schools section of the Geographical Association, and has been a Moderator for the Geography Preliminary Examination. The Dean (Rev. E. G. Midgley) has been re-elected to the Board of the Faculty of English Language and Literature. He has preached at Lancing and Berkhamsted and Giggleswick, conducted Holy Week at St. Matthew's, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and in July was chaplain to a camp for Borstal boys. Dr. D. C. M. Yardley is to be congratulated on his appointment by the Lord Chancellor to the office (part-time) of Chairman of the Oxford and Reading Rents Tribunal, and also on the publication of his weighty volume, A Source Book ofEnglish Administrative Law (Butterworths). In June he attended a meeting of the Institut International des Sciences Administratives in Brussels as representative of the Royal Institute of Public Administration. Dr. Series has lectured in Paris at the Ecole Normale Superieure and the College de France; ¡he has also examined for the Honour School of Physics. Dr. R. B. Mitchell has been Moderator for the Preliminary Examination in English Language and Literature. He was Co-Director in July of the course on English linguistic history in the Summer School conducted by the Delegacy of Extra-Mural Studies. The Chaplain (Rev. H.J. Cowdrey) is to be congratulated on the birth of a son. Professor Hume-Rothery is to be congratulated on being made a Membre d'Honneur of the Societe Francaise de Metallurgie last October, and also on being elected to a Fellowship of the Imperial College of Science and Technology. In June he attended the conference of the Advisory Group for Aeronautical Research and Development in Oslo. Mr. R. B. Pugh is to be congratulated on being made a member of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton for the academic year 1963-4; during his stay there he proposes to continue work on the history of imprisonment in medieval England. Mr. J. C. B. Gosling has given a course of lectures on Philosophy at the Royal Holloway College. Dr. F. J. C. Rossotti has lectured at Wellington College on the teaching of Chemistry. HONORARY FELLOWS were elected to Honorary Fellowships of the Hall in Trinity Term. Mr. Sadao Iguchi, a graduate of the University of Commerce of Tokyo, was admitted to the Hall in 1924, when he was already a member of the Japanese

Diplomatic Service. After.studying Economic.s and Political Science at Oxford, he returned to the Japanese Foreign Office, and subsequently rose to the top of his profession. After the war he was appointed Ambassador ofJapan to Ottawa, and later to Washington, where he successfully carried out the delicate task of rebuilding friendly relations between his country and the United States of America. As a result of political changes in Tokyo, he was then transferred to Taipeh (Formosa); recently he relinquished this post and retired into private life. Throughout his career, in spite of the tragic incidents of the war, he has always striven to be a good friend of Great Britain. The Reverend Frederick John Shirley, D.D., Ph.D. (Lond.), formerly of the Honourable Society of Lincoln's Inn and Barristerat-Law, entered the Hall from the City of Oxford School in 1909. After obtaining his LLB. at London and being called to the Bar, he was ordained and became a schoolmaster. After being Headmaster of Worksop from 1925 to 1935, he was appointed Headmaster of The King's School, Canterbury, and held that position from 1935 to 1962. Since 193 5 he has also been Canon Residentiary of Canterbury. Under his inspired leadership the Schoql developed enormously in every direction, and as a result of his work it now counts as one of the finest and most successful in Great Britain. Dr. Shirley is also .a notable preacher and a considerable historian; in 1949 the University awarded him the degree of Doctor of Divinity for his study Richard Hooker and Contemporary Political Ideas. The Hall congratulates its Honorary Fellow, Sir Isaac Wolfson, Bt., on having the D.C.L. honoris causa conferred upon him by the University in Hilary Term, and also on receiving an honorary doctorate from the University of Glasgow, of which he has been a munificent benefactor. EMERITUS FELLOWS THE MAGAZINE congratulates Professor H.J. Hunt on his marriage early in the year to Mrs. Q. W. Sundaran. The editorial staff have also studied, with profit and delight, Professor H. M. N. H. Irving's Leeds inaugural lecture. This is a highly characteristic and also topical essay entitled 'The Three Cultures'. Aularians will be delighted to hear of the election of the Rev. Professor J. McManners to the senior Visiting Fellowship at All Souls College. Professor McManners has been granted a year's leave of absence by the University of Sydney, and he proposes to spend this in Great Britain. His appointment at All Souls means that for most of the time (he expects to be in this country 1963-4) he will be securely established among his friends in Oxford.

NEW FELLOWSHIPS to Fellowships have been made in the past year. In November, 1962, the Governing Body elected P. C. Swann, M.A., Keeper of the Department of Eastern Art at the Ashmolean Museum, to a Professorial Fellowship. As a former undergraduate of the Hall (matric. 1940), Mr. Swann is already known to a wide circle of Aularians, and in the University at large he has received many tributes for the admirable way in which he has arranged the remarkable collection possessed by his Department. In March, 1962, the Governing Body elected]. W. Christian, M.A. , D.Phil., George Kelley Reader in Metallurgy, to a Professorial Fellowship, and also to a Lecturership in Metallurgy, and W. S. C. Williams, M.A., Ph.D. (Lond.), to an Official Fellowship and Tutorship in Physics. These latter appointments, which take effect from the begimiing of October, give the Hall additional teaching strength in Natural Science, particularly in the Mathematics required for Physics and Engineering. The Magazine congratulates Dr. Christian and Dr. Williams, and wishes them every success and happiness in their membership of the Hall. THREE NEW APPOINTMENTS

RESEARCH FELLOWS of his Fellowship having expired, Dr. V. B. Nileshwar departed from the Hall in the autumn to take up an appointment with Tube Investments in Cambridge. The H all is deeply grateful to the Wolfson Foundation for providing the financial support for a Research Fellowship in Metallurgy for three years, and counts itself fortunate in having elected Dr. Nileshwar to it. During his brief stay he has entered fully into the life of the H all and has won the affection of seniors and juniors. The Magazine wishes him every success in the next phase of his career. The St. Edmund Junior Fellow, Mr. Oswyn Murray, in fulfilment of the terms of the Pelham Studentship, has spent Trinity Term and part of the Long Vacation in Rome continuing his research.

THE TERM

THE LECTURERS c. A. JONES, Lecturer in Spanish, and Mr. N. Blewett, Lecturer in Politics, have resigned from their Lecturerships this year. The former is to be congratulated on being elected to a Fellowship at Trinity College, and the good wishes of all who have known him or enjoyed his instruction at the Hall will accompany him there. The latter's resignation was occasioned by the demands of the thesis which he is preparing for the D.Phil. degree at St. Antony's, and which has reached the final stages.

In Trinity Term the Governing Body elected Mr. B. Babington Smith, Senior Lecturer at the Institute of Experimental Psychology, to a Lecturership in Psychology, and Dr. E. R. Oxburgh, University Demonstrator in Geology, to a Lecturership in Geology. For many years the Hall has had a small group of undergraduates reading Geology, but the former appointment is evidence of its awareness of the importance of the recently established Honour School of Psychology, Philosophy and Physiology. In the Long Vacation the Governing Body elected Mr. J. P. D. Dunbabin, M.A., to a Lecturership in Politics and History. A graduate of Corpus Christi College, Mr. Dunbabin has been a Student ofNuffield College and, more recently, a Research Lecturer at Christ Church; he was Gibbs Scholar in 1958 and was awarded the Denyer and Johnson Prize in 1959· AULARIANS IN PUBLIC LIFE it is gratifying to note, now occupy prominent positions in the Foreign Service, Sir Ralph Murray (matric. 1927) being H.M. Ambassador in Athens and Sir Denis Wright (matric. 1929) H.M. Ambassador in Teheran. The latter, it will be recalled, had previously been Ambassador in Addis Ababa. A third, W. N. Hillier-Fry (matric. 1941 ), First Secretary at the British Embassy in Prague, featured in the news in June, when the Czechoslovak Government, irritated by the enforced withdrawal of the Third Secretary of the Czechoslovak Embassy in London, in retaliation requested his recall from his post. The Magazine, which owes allegiance to no political party, congratulates N. G. Barnett (matric. 1949) on his election last November as Member of Parliament for South Dorset. This was the seat which Lord Hinchinbrooke had held for many years, and Mr. Barnett's election was a notable victory for the Labour cause.

Two A ULARIANS,

GIFTS THE BEST THANKS of the Hall are due to the following for gifts which they have presented: The Reverend W. L. Guyler (matric. 1920) for a collection of books for the Library. · Mrs. Elfrida Kentfield for two Georgian silver fruit servers. The .late Reverend C. H. Lancaster (matric 1905) for a large, handsomely decorated Chinese porcelain bowl (nineteenth century). The Au1arian Association for (i) a silver half-pint tankard to commemorate the winning of the Hockey Cup; (ii) a silver pint tankard to commemorate the winning of three other cups; (iii) the gift of £400 to the Scholarship Fund.

ORIENTAL LANGUAGES of Mr. E. G. Fuller, the Hall has been provided with funds sufficient to enable it to offer, for the next ten years, an Open Scholarship in Oriental Languages. The influence on world affairs of the great Eastern and Far Eastern countries at the present time can hardly be exaggerated, and it is important that a growing number of able people should study their culture and languages. The Hall is deeply grateful to Mr. Fuller for his kindness, and also to Mr. P. C. Swann, Keeper of the Department of Eastern Art in the Ashmolean Museum and Professorial Fellow, whose good offices played a part in securing this useful benefaction for his College. THROUGH THE IMAGINATIVE GENEROSITY

ST. EDMUND AT ABINGDON in last year's Magazine, the plans for erecting a memorial to St. Edmund and his mother Mabel at Abingdon have gone well ahead. A handsome tablet has been designed by Mr. David Kindersley, of Cambridge; it records that St. Edmund and his mother were born in Abingdon, that he is the first known Doctor of Divinity of Oxford, and that he was successively Treasurer of Salisbury Cathedral and Archbishop of Canterbury (1233-40). The design has been approved by the diocesan advisory committee, and the plan is to affix the tablet to the west wall of St. Nicholas Church, where Mabel was buried. As the west front is still in process of repair and closed in scaffolding nothing can be done at the moment, but it is hoped to erect the tablet in the early part of 1964 and to have it unveiled and dedicated in the summer. Subscriptions have been coming in well, but there is still a balance of about £ 70. Anyone who would like to contribute should send his contribution to Mrs. U. Liversidge, 28 East St. Helen's Street, Abingdon.

SINCE THEY WERE MENTIONED

TRAVEL GRANTS OWING to a generous subsidy of £60 made by the Aularian Association, the money available for distribution from the Graham Hamilton Travel Fund was much greater this year than previously. Grants of either £ l 5 or £20 each were made to the following: D. M. Cruden (Oxford University Exploration Club expedition to Finmark, Norway); G. B. Kerr (visit to Israel, including a period of work on a kibbutz, with study of its community life and economy); E. A. Mallia (bicycle tour from Qxford to Rome); R. Miller (visit to Morocco, including walking on the Atlas Mountains); G.

6


Williams (Oxford University Expedition to Northern Persia). A grant of £ro was promised, subject to conditions, to Y. R. Lovelock (visit to Iceland). QUADRANGLE RESTORED for several years the quadrangle is free from the disfiguring encumbrance of scaffolding. The restorative operations on the north range have done less damage to shrubs, flowers and plants than was feared, and the magnolia tree and roses have survived in a surprising way. Only the Bursary cottage at the south-east corner remains murky in colour, ~ut there are hopes that the washing down of this will be taken in hand before long. As the Magazine went to press (late July), the total impression was extremely beautiful; the pale yellow stone of the buildings was' enhanced by the exceptionally brilliant green of the lawns. A feature unfamiliar to most old members was a black cat, suitably named Nero, stretching itself in sensual ecstasy on the grass as if it were not only a Master of Arts, but entitled to disport itself as it pleased in its demesne. Whether its presence would arouse approval or lift scandalized eye-brows, it could at any rate be taken as an augury of prosperity and good fortune. ¡ FOR THE FIRST TIME

THE NEW BUILDINGS are understandably eager for news of the new buildings prophesied for the Forum site, and the Magazine has reason to believe that they will not have to curb their impatience much longer before signs of activity at last appear. An element of delay, all the more irritating because unpredictable, was introduced owing to a change in policy on the part of the Oxford City Council. Last summer, when our architect's plans were well on the way to completion, the council approved a new regulation limiting the height of buildings in the historic centre of Oxford to 60 feet. As the Hall had been hoping to make the most advantageous use of the constricted site by going high, it became necessary for the architect to think out his plans afresh, designing buildings which would conform with the new restrictions. As the Magazine went to press, it was understood that these revised plans were approaching the stage when they could be submitted to the Governing Body for final approval. Thus if all goes well, and the consent of the public bodies concerned can be obtained, it is reasonable to hope that before many months the sound of hammers and shovels and the other instruments of demolition will be heard in the vicinity of the Hall, and the area where the new buildings will arise will begin to be cleared.

THE SUMMER DANCE OUR PROPHECY that last year's Summer Ball might be the last to be held in the Forum proved too optimistic, but we are surely safe in saying that this year's definitely celebrated The Last Days of the Forum. We resisted the suggestion that the dancers should be issued with pickaxes at the end of the dance and close the proceedings with a great orgy of destruction. More efficient demolition men will move in later this year. ¡ Instead the Forum was once more disguised with a ceiling of coloured streamers and the floor-trampled weekly by hundreds

8


of Bingo addicts-given a final polish for the hundreds of dancers who danced there to the music of Chappie D' Amato. In the Rose Room dim lights carefully hid the advanced state of decay of the building and the Dean's concrete fountain at last came to a strange and beautiful life as blue fluorescent water played around its curves. In the Front Quad a marquee roof over the open floor was the new addition to our arrangements-a safety precaution in view of the appalling weather we had been having but one which proved unnecessary on this the finest and warmest night for weeks. Paul Burroughs band provided their steel drum music again, although this year their shirts were even more splendid. In addition we had with us The Flamingoes, a rock group from Liverpool, who besides providing the cabaret, gave us some of the most exciting and danceprovoking music the Quad has ever heard. The dance became livelier instead of quieter as the dawn broke, and five o'clock found even staid members of the S.C.R. still twisting and Queen's Lane full of dancers who, unable to enter the Quad were unable to resist the music which beat out through the Tunnel. We would like to congratulate all those who gave so much time and energy to organising this dance, preparing for it and clearing up after it. We only regret that the large balloon which was raised above the Quad the night before the dance gave up its ghost and sank deflated before the hour of its glory. LONDON DINNER, 1963 THE NOTORIOUS Great Freeze and power cuts of January 1963 entirely failed to disorganise the London Dinner on 8 January. Close on eightly members turned up; the total would have been even higher, it appeared, if attempts by Aularians in remote country vicarages to dig themselves out of record snowdrifts had not been frustrated at the last moment. The venue (Simpson's in the Strand), the date (the second Tuesday in January) and the menu (smoked trout and roast duck) were comfortingly familiar, and the downstairs bar served to thaw out the frozen arrivals as over a glass of something they exchanged news with fellow-members not seen since the last get-together. It seemed no time at all before the chairman, R. Waye, was rising to propose the toast 'Floreat Aula'. He began by welcoming the distinguished Aularians who were present, and read a letter from Dr. Emden, over the mysterious sobriquet 'Abe', regretting that he was no longer able to indulge in winter evening excursions, but expressing the hope that the Gathering of the Clans would generate sufficient warmth to keep the wintry assaults at bay. The chairman then thanked Neville Williams for his efficient organisation, and

9


concluded with the thought that in his undergraduate days he never visualised the Hall as one day being not merely trebled in size, but advanced in reputation by far more than that proportion. This agreeable keynote was echoed by the Principal in his reply to the toast . .He reviewed the impressive Aularian triumphs in Schools, in the artistic field and in sport, before turning to the 'ambitious project' of the Hall's building plan. It was disappointing news, he continued, that building on the Forum Site was held up partly by the difficulties experienced by the architect over fitting in the Hall's requirements, and partly by the Oxford City Council's new planning regulations. This delay, said the Principal, must therefore be looked on as a 'gestation period', following which some interesting results should emerge in a few months' time. As for the Appeal, it had made a slow start, the percentage of respondents being as yet disappointingly low. He stressed the value to the Appeal of the deed of covenant, and urged Aularians to inform him if they knew of any Private Trust which might be willing to contribute, as several had very generously done already; but the main burden would have to fall on individual Aularians. Before the gathering broke up, Neville Williams told members of the death, three months previously, of Clifford Lummis, for long a member of the Association's Executive Committee. With Shane Toland, who had died three years earlier, he had been founding father of the annual London Dinner. Contributions were invited for presenting a small piece of silver to the Hall in their joint memory; as a result a tankard, suitably inscribed, was presented to the Hall on 29 June. Among those present were: The Principal, the Reverend Gullick, Professor H. J. Hunt.

The Annual General Meeting of the Aularian Association was held in . the Emden Room after Chapel. The Treasurer presented the accounts and briefly commented on them. The President announced that the Executive Committee had allocated £ 100 to the Directory; £250 to the Magazine; £400 to the Scholarship Fund; £60 to the Graham Hamilton Travel Fund; £75 to the Sports Grant Fund; £32 for a tankard to celebrate the winning of three cups which had been won before; and £20 for one to commemorate the winning of the Hockey Cup for the :first time. Major-General Blaxland and Captain Beatty were re-elected as members of the Executive Committee. D. K. Daniels was elected to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Clifford Lummis. The Honorary Treasurer and the Honorary Secretary were reelected. The next Reunion was arranged for the 26 June, 1964. At the dinner the toast of Floreat Aula was proposed by the Principal, who welcomed back the younger generation to a Hall scrubbed and cleaned and ready to face the future with an admissions policy of which Mr. Harold Wilson would approve! Increasing academic standards had not, however, wholly prevented success in extra curricular fields. Four cups had been won. The John Oldham Society's production of Moliere was brilliant, if the play was bad. The leading actor had been asked to take onerous parts in O.U.D.S. Demolition of the Forum and the preparation of the site for new buildings would begin in the autumn. The architect was engaged on detailed plans and hoped for their approval by winter. Unfortunately the general appeal had not been supported by old members as had been expected. One could not hope to equal the moneyraising feats of Balliol and Christ Church, but Exeter had 690 covenants, almost twice the number the Hall had so far received. Could we really rest content with such a situation? We ought to add that in the course of the evening many old members present came forward with completed deeds of covenant 12


and by midnight another £1700 had been added to the Fund. If such a small gathering can do so much in such a short while, how much more could be done if the great body of Aularians decided to act? L.W.H. SCHOLARSHIP ELECTIONS AND EXAMINATIONS THE FOLLOWING ELECTIONS

OBITUARIES John Martin Blackburn, B.A., died after a brief illness on 20 February, 1963. Educated at Cheltenham College, he entered the Hall in 1952 and read for honours in English. An accomplished and devoted cricketer, he was also a founder-member of the Methuen Dining Society. His natural high spirits added much to the gaiety of Hall life during his years of residence. On going down he took a job on the business side of a well-known newspaper, and later moved into commerce. His loss at the early age of thirty was a sharp blow to his many friends, not least at the Hall itself, where, partly through cricket and partly through the fact that his family

35

'


home remained for long at Boars Hill, he maintained close and affectionate ties. The Reverend William J. Carter, M.A., who matriculated in 1919, died on the S.S. Normannia on 5 August, 1960. Born blind, the son of an agricultural worker, in a remote Gloucestershire village, he went to the blind school at Bristol, from which he won a scholarship to Worcester College for the Blind. At the Hall, in spite of great obstacles, he obtained a Third in Greats and was President of the Debating Society, becoming deeply immersed in Socialist politics. From the Hall he ':"ent on to Manchester College and found his way into the Unitarian ministry, holding charges at Nantwich (Priestley's chapel), Carlisle, and finally Newport, Isle ofWight. He was well known in the National Library for the Blind and in the Unitarian movement, for both of which he did a great deal of work. Widely read and a delightful conversationalist, he was a man of striking gifts and personality who, but for his handicap, might have played an important role on a wider stage. The Reverend Raymond Audley Dunbar Heath, who died on 30 August, 1962 (exactly one year since his retirement), entered the Hall in 1902. He stroked the First VIII, and took his B.A. degree in wo7, his M.A. in 1909. He was ordained deacon in the latter year, and priest in 1912. His first curacy was at Mansfield, and later he was appointed to Worcester, where he worked with the famous Studdert Kennedy. During the 1914-18 war he served in the R.A.M.C., and on returning to Worcester became Chaplain to Berkeley's Hospital. By this time he had become an authority on horology-the art of measuring time and the construction of clocks and chronometers. He was also an expert on printing, and for a time took charge of his uncle's printing busine'ss. In 1937 he became Rector of Stondon Massey, and just eight years later Vicar of Takeley, from which he retired in 1961 and went to live at Sawbridgeworth. He died suddenly while working at his home ; he had just completed a job of craftsmanship with the skill and perfection which he brought to all his work. He left a widow, a son and a daughter. The Reverend Cyril Henry Lancaster, M.A. , died at Chichester on 5 February, 1963. Educated at the Mercers' School, he was admitted to the Hall by Dr. Moore in 1905, and read for honours in Theology, taking his B.A. in 1908. After training at Wycliffe Hall, he was made a deacon in the diocese of London in 1909, and ordained priest in 19IO. He served curacies at St. James, Holloway, from 1909 to 1913, and at Walcot from 1913 to 1916. He was a temporary Chaplain to the Forces from 1918 to 1919. In 1916 he was appointed Vicar of St. John's, Cheltenham, and spent the whole of his active ministry in that parish, retiring in 1956. From that year till his death he made his home in Chichester.

Clifford Lummis, M.A., died suddenly, from a coronary thrombosis, on 23 October, 1962, a few weeks after his retirement from the staff of Merchant Taylors' after thirty five years' service. Born in 1902, he was himself educated at Bootham School, York, and read Modern History at the Hall from 1921 to 1924, subsequently taking a diploma in French at the University of Lille. At Oxford he swam for the University and rowed in the Hall VIII; he also played rugby football and cricket for the Hall. After being on the staff of Bury Grammar School from 1925 to 1927, he was appointed to Merchant Taylors' in the latter year. In 1939 he was called up at the outbreak of war. Earlier he had enlisted as a Territorial, and at first served in the ranks, but was commissioned in The Buffs in 1940. During his war service he was in Norway, Malta and Palestine. He was a keen and active member of the Association of Assistant Masters. For many years he was on the Independent Schools SubCommittee, being Chairman from 1959 to 1961, and was on the Executive Committee for a period. He also served as a School representative on the Oxford and Cambridge Joint Examination Board. As a schoolmaster he was of the old-fashioned kind, with a strong pastoral sense and a keen interest in everything that concerned his boys; and these qualities were shown to good effect when he became Housemaster of one of the day-boy houses at Merchant Taylors' in 1947¡ His love for the Hall and his enthusiasm for its causes were infectious, and for many years he was an active member of the Executive Committee of the Aularian Association. He was one of the small group responsible for founding the London Dinner, and until recently was a regular member of the Old Aularian Tennis VI which visited Oxford to play the undergraduates each summer. Both at Merchant Taylors' and at the Hall countless friends recall his vigorous, out-spoken, wonderfully kind personality with a keen sense of loss. ' John Lawrence Pinniger, D.M., M.A., F.R.C.P., died suddenly after a short illness on 8 June, 1963. Born on 9 May, 1914, and educated at Epsom College, he was admitted to the Hall in 1933¡. He read for honours in Animal Physiology, taking his degree in 1937; and at the same time was one of the Hall's leading Rugby players, being successively Secretary and Captain of the Rugby Club and being elected to the Greyhounds. In 1937 he won the University Scholarship to St. Thomas' s, where he was to spend most of his professional life. When to his great distress he was turned down for military service on the outbreak of war, he devoted all his energies to the Hospital, first in junior posts and then as registrar to Sir Maurice Cassidy. He adopted pathology as his chosen career in 1942, and until 1948 he worked and taught in the departments of St. Thomas's Hospital and Medical School. In 1948

he went as consultant pathologist to the Auckland Hospital, New Zealand, staying there until 1951, when he was appointed to succeed Dr. Bamforth as physician in charge of the clinical laboratories of St. Thomas' s. During his tenure of this appointment there was an enormous and continual increase throughout the country in the demands made on clinical laboratories, and the success with which these demands were met at St. Thomas' s was entirely due to his personality and determination. He became M.R.C.P. in 1941, D.M. of Oxford in 1946, and F.R.C.P. in 1958. He was President of the British Division of the International Academy of Pathology this year, and a member of the Medical Research Society and of the Association of Physicians. He was examiner for the Faculty of Anaesthetists of the Royal College of Surgeons, for the London M.B., and for the Royal College of Nursing. In numerous papers and studies he made valuable contributions to medical science, particularly in the fields of haematology and surgical pathology; .and in 1946, in studies of the mechanism of coagulation with other colleagues at St. Thomas' s, he made the first unequivocal demonstration that platelet aggregation is independent of fibrin formation. When he died, at the early age of 49, he was at the height of his career as of his powers; and although he will be deeply missed as a physician and pathologist, he will be missed even more as a man of inflexible integrity and self-effacing kindliness. Douglas Parry Saunders-Griffiths, M.A., who died on 4 February, 1963, was a native of Cardiganshire and the youngest son of Canon Martin Griffiths of St. David's. After leaving Christ's College, Brecon, he matriculated at the Hall in 1910 and took his degree in 1913. After holding several teaching appointments, he became Senior Assistant Master at Southey Hall School, Worthing, which later moved to Bookham, Surrey. He was appointed to this position shortly after his marriage in 1919, and previously, during the First World War, had served with the South Wales Borderers, attaining the rank of Captain. He became Headmaster of Hampton Honse School in 1926, and retired from this position some four years ago. He was a Founder Member of the Chester Rugby Football Club, where he held the office of Secretary and also served as a referee. He was an enthusiast of all sports, and was later President of the Deeside Ramblers Hockey Club. A regular churchgoer, he sang frequently with the Tarporley choir, and during the course of his life assisted the clergy in the districts in which he lived as a lay reader. Thomas Gordon Charles Woodford, M.A., died suddenly, in hospital at Northampton, on 29 October, 1962, at the age of 51. Educated first at Regent's Park School and then at King Edward VI School, Southampton, at the latter of which he was head boy, he

38


entered the Hall in 1930, and read for honours in Modern History and for the Diploma in Education. A fine sportsman, he captained the Hall hockey XI and was awarded his hockey Blue; later he captained Northamptonshire and Durham. From 1934 to 1938 he taught at Northampton Grammar School, and from 1938 to 1940 was Senior History Master at Trent College, Derbyshire. During the Second World War, after enlisting as a Trooper in the Royal Tank Regiment, he was commissioned in the 1st Derbyshire Yeomanry, served as an instructor at Sandhurst, and was then appointed to the Intelligence Staff of No. 1 Corps in London. He took part in the D-day landings and in the subsequent campaigns, being mentioned in despatches. At the end of the war he became Head of the History Department at the College of the Rhine Army. In 1948 he was appointed a housemaster at Durham School, leaving four years later to become Headmaster of Ripon Grammar_School. He succeeded Dr. Terry Thomas as Headmaster of Leeds Grammar School in January, 1954. He at once threw himself with immense energy into the great responsibilities of this position, successfully adapting the school to its new role in a changing social environment and carrying out a large-scale building project. His unexpected death, at an early age and the height of his powers, is a grievous blow both to Leeds and to the educational world generally. Aularians will sorely miss him, for as a member of the S.C.R. he was a frequent visitor to Oxford, and he was also the originator of the Aularian Association Leeds dinner and acted as its host in his study on the three occasions on which it was held.

In the Presbyterian Ministry Ian Findlay Mcintosh (April, 1960) NEW BUILDINGS FUND BY 31 JULY, 1963, the New Buildings Fund had received, in gifts and promises under deed of covenant, approximately ÂŁ68,ooo. To

39


this should be added the sum of £10,000 donated by the Junior Common Room. As the target aimed at is £3 50,000 and as the Appeal has been operating for well over a year, this must be reckoned a somewhat disappointing response. On the other hand, the number of Aularians subscribing continues to remain surprisingly small. In round figures some 280 old members had made out deeds of covenant by 3 I July, and 40 parents, while some 240 old members and 80 parents had made gifts. Since over three thousand old members are listed in the Directory, it is clear that a much larger. and more satisfactory total could be forthcoming if those who have still taken no action were to gird themselves to contribute as generously as the 520 (approximately) who have already done so. As far as is known, all donations and covenants have been personally acknowledged. The list of those who had contributed by 3I July, 1963, is printed below, and the Hall would like to take this opportunity of once again expressing to them all its profow1d gratitude for so nobly stepping forward to support its ambitious but urgently necessary plans. Special thanks are due to the Rothley Trust and the Sembal Trust, which have given £20,000 and £5,000 respectively (the latter for the conversion of the present dining hall into a library), and to the Goldsmiths' Company, which has promised to give £7,500 over a period of five years.

CLUBS AND SOCIETIES THE EDITORS regret that, despite their efforts and continual demands, they have been unable this year to obtain a complete record of the activities of all the clubs and societies of the Hall. The deadline date for going to press was reached before these reports were received and it was decided to print without them, as a warning to future secretaries of their duty to produce their reports on time. The members of the following societies and all readers of the Magazine will regret that no full and detailed report appears of the activities of The Cosmographers or The Scope Club.

THE DEBATING SOCIETY President: A. LAMBERT THE HALL DEBATING SOCIETY is reputed to be the oldest undergraduate society in O xford. It is, without doubt, the senior society of the Hall. Revived this year after a period of two years in which no debates were held, it has flourished beyond the greatest hopes of the officers. The Society has held six meetings since its revival with an average attendance of about 40. Guest speakers have included three Union Presidents and the Dean. There have also been outstanding speeches by members of the Hall, especially from M. J. Hamilton and A. Hughes. Undoubtedly the best debate so far was the third in Trinity Term in which three delightful and humorous young ladies, Judith Oakley (St. Hughes) and Christine Lee and Josephine Newcombe (Somerville) successfully opposed the motion 'That women should be kept barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen.' A record crowd of 85 enjoyed a riotous evening's entertainment. Also memorable was the Dean's speech supporting the motion 'That Oxford should be torn down and thrown into the river'. A.L.

THE ESSAY SOCIETY President: D. K. BOWEN

MICHAELMAS TERM MR. KENTFIELD began the year with a controversial essay on education, arguing that the highest fruits of education could be

45


borne only by the few and that the present trend towards higher education was misguided. Mr. Walker discussed the European Common Market, hoping that it might become a present power for world peace. Mr. Redington ttod¡ in the steps ,of Hilaire Belloc to deliver a contemplative essay about the Downlands. Mr. Malvern van Wyk Smith gave us his impressions of England and the effect her culture could have on the new countries of Africa. At the dessert meeting, Dr. Scargill, talking from the year 2000 gave the Society an account of his political travels in the early sixties. Mr. Leyshon examined the relationship between mind and brain as revealed-or obscured-by modern physiological and psychological research. At the dinner meeting the President discussed science fiction, finding in it a palatable means of presenting deep philosophical problems. The Society appeared unconvinced but was in no mood for violent opposition. D.K.B.

HILARY TERM President: I. M.

WALKER

The first essay of term was read by Mr. John Davie, who picked a careful way through the pitfalls of Christian apologetics, and told us how he talked to agnostics. In discussion, some agnostics explained how they talked to Christians. Mr. Martin Williams gave us a survey of the compost heap at the bottom of his garden, using sources old and new, and Mr. John Dixon traced out the 'Perils of Pauline' in an essay dealing with female education at Oxford and the University of North Staffs. Mr. Jim Thrower saw himself as the Society's reply to a current mission to the University; his subject 'Kitsch' he rated less highly, and we vied with each other after coffee in Hoggartian condemnation of the present cultural scene. At the dessert meeting, Mr. Robert Bishop, impressed by the frequent use of the phrase 'at the back of the mind', considered ways in which the conscious and subconscious parts of our minds could affect each other. Mr. Yann Lovelock described the increase in sensibility experienced in a state of euphoria, but we were doubtful of the wisdom of pro~i~ing marijuana as well as cigarettes at meetings of the Society. At the last meeting, the President admonished the Society for taking inadequate care of its records, and asked for help in deciding what constituted satire. I.M.W.


TRINITY TERM President: S. C. WILKINSON MR. E. P. F. ROSE, 'Mente et Malleo', led the Society through the hazards of geological fieldwork, but nonetheless tried to convince members of the vital role of his subject. Mr. E. P. Smith, writing of 'The Third Sex', discussed the place of the homosexual in society and challenged us, not merely to take a tolerant view, but to think out again the very basis upon which our ideas were founded. Mr. J. H. Alexander, inspired by the University Museum, that 'Home for Dinosaurs', disclosed how little of Oxford was mediaeval, in the course of an essay which conducted us .round the nineteenth century buildings in City and University. The port and dessert meeting was told of the challenges facing the graduate in Voluntary Service Overseas. Mr. J. Daniel urged that members should leave the production line and 'Go, for they call you .. .'; members went on relentlessly cracking nuts. We were jerked out of our complacency by Mr. T. G. P. Jones' revelation of the character who was responsible for today's 'Writers oflmmorality'-Winnie the Pooh, assisted by a megalomaniac Rabbit and that self-dramatising social failure, Eeyore. Mr. A. G. Rix told us that the subject of his essay was the present and past state of women in society; he did not disclose the relevance of his title 'A Leap into the Dark'. After the Society's dinner the President, in his essay 'In Corpore Sano', discussed the originai ideas of public school athleticism and asked if there were any ideas behind sport today.

s.c.w. THE MUSIC SOCIETY President: DAVID BOLTON Secretary: MALCOLM LIVESEY THE SOCIETY, whilst having only one concert this year, has nevertheless been active in several fields. At the beginning of Michaelmas term numerous chamber groups made their appearance; notably a wind quintet, a quartet, and a trio. A choir also was started which received a good deal of support from within the hall. Difficulties, however, arose in enlisting the permanent support from women in other colleges, and so rehearsals could only be started late in the term. In Hilary term it was hoped to present a choral and chamber concert, but owing to the indisposition of several members of the chamber groups, and also to the inadequate rehearsal time for the choir, the project had, with reluctance, to be abandoned.

47


During Trinity term an orchestra under the auspices of St. Edmund Hall came into existence. Many of the instrumentalists were recruited from other colleges but a group of Hall men formed the nucleus. In seventh week a concert was given by the orchestra in the quadrangle, and was very well attended (thanks partly at least to the fine weather). The programme for the evening included: Haydn Overture 'Armida' Weber Concerto for Bassoon .. (Soloist: Robert Jordan) Haydn 'Bear' Symphony Conductor: Peter Dunachie P.R.D.

THE JOHN OLDHAM SOCIETY THIS YEAR's REPORT must begin with two events during the Long Vacation of 1962-the 'Hamlet' tour and the second run of 'A Month in the Country'. For two-and-a-half weeks immediately after the end of term, twenty-five members of the Society gave sixteen performances of 'Hamlet' before a variety of school audiences, mostly in the West Country. John Thorogood designed a portable stage which set the play strikingly and effectively against rostra and black drapes, and quite justified the enormous labour of carrying it eight hundred miles. The production, by James Smith, was appreciated for its clarity and inventiveness, and the performances of Frank di Rienzo and David Aukin were especially popular. The second opening of 'A Month in the Country' won as n;iuch praise as the first, and some critics declared it to be even better than before. This time it ran for a full week, and was seen mainly by audiences from outside the University.

MICHAELMAS TERM President: PETER SIBLEY Secretary: MICHAEL RUDMAN Hiring Officer: JOHN SANDRINGHAM The Society's recent activities have left us with an increasing stock of scenic equipment, and it was therefore decided at the fast meeting of the year to create the position of Hiring Officer. John Sandringham was elected.


Three readings were held this term: 'Julius Caesar', produced by Roger Popplestone and John Davie; 'Anouilh's 'Time Remembered', produced by Roland Oliver, and 'Under Milk Wood' by Dylan Thomas, produced by Graham Morris. The Society's entry for O.U.D.S. Drama Cuppers in Fifth Week was on'e ofDonleavy's 'Fairy Tales of New York', produced by Graham Morris and performed by Roland Oliver, Nigel Pegram and David Dodd. The production was adjudged to third place. During this term the Secretary also won great praise for his production of Brecht' s 'The Good Woman of Setzuan' for the Experimental Theatre Club.

MICHAEL RUDMAN ROGER PoPPLESTONE

Hiring Officer:

WILLIAM HATCHER

Only two readings were held this term: 'Blood Wedding' by Lorca, produced by Paul Howes, and 'A New Way To Pay Old Debts', by Philip Massinger, produced by Michael Owen. A buffet supper with wine was served at the second. Towards the end of term plans began to be discussed for the Trinity Major production, and, as the Playhouse was to be closed, a booking was made at the Unicorn Theatre, Abingdon.

TRINITY TERM President: Secretary:

MICHAEL RUDMAN ROGER PoPPLESTONE

Hiring Officer:

WILLIAM HATCHER

The main event of the term was Roger Popplestone' s production of 'The Miser' by Moliere at the Unicorn Theatre in Fifth Week. The intimate atmosphere of this miniature theatre lent itself ewll to Moliere, and the production was generally agreed to be a great success. Paul Howes was praised without exception for his interpretation of Harpagon himself, and the rest of the cast supported him admirably, with some notable individual performances. Despite the severe competition of Eights Week, houses were very good, and during the interval audiences were able to enjoy a buffet by the river in the theatre gardens. The Society's high place in University dramatics was also maintained this term by the President's production of 'A View From D

49


The Bridge' for O.U.D.S., and clinched by the selection of the President to direct for the Oxford Theatre Group at the Edinburgh Festival, the Secretary for O.U.D.S., and Roland Oliver for E.T.C., in the future. R.C.P.

THE HEARNE SOCIETY President: H.

NORVILL

Secretary: E. J. M. WILLIAMS TWO MEETINGS were held in Michaelmas term, with papers read by members of the Hall. R. T. Cox read a paper on 'Gloucestershire and the English Tobacco Industry in the seventeenth century', tracing the development of smoking in England and associating the importance of the tobacco industry in Gloucestershire with the antimonarchical struggles of the period. Later L. K. Baker looked at 'The Relations between Cuba and the U.S.A. since 1850'. In Hilary term J.E. Law gave an excellennalk on Hitler's strategy, entitled 'Austrian Corporal or German General?' in which the antagonism between the Fiihrer and his General Staff was illustrated. M. L. Statham read a paper on 'Chartism in Leicestershire' examining the importance of Chartism as a social force in the Midlands. Mr. John Roberts of St. Antony's College gave a talk on John Stuart Mills' theory of history. At the presidential meeting in Trinity Term E. J. M. -Williams and G. Hill were elected President and Secretary respectively, and . the retiring President read an interesting paper on 'The Arkwrights and the Bakewell Cotton Mill.' In the last two weeks of term J. N. Davie and S. C. Wilkinson gave two talks to a select audience on two aspects of the history of education. E.J.M.W.

THE HALL FELLOWSHIP AS A RESULT of the Mission to the University led by Bishop Huddleston during Hilary Term it was decided by a large number of the Christians in Hall to form the Hall Fellowship to replace the Liddon Society. The Fellowship does not possess the normal Society structure and organisation (though it appoints one of its members to coordina~e its activities), but is an heterogeneous group whose purpose is to unite Christians-and anyone else interested-in Hall into ,a corporate body. Its aim is to hold one or two informal evening gatherings each term, to encourage as many Christians as

50


possible to worship at one of the Services in Chapel each Sunday, to arrange corporate Prayers every Thursday lunchtime, and to share in the Friday 'War on Want' lunch. The first evening meeting took place at the end of the Hilary Term when a selection of slides of the Holy Land were shown. A Brains Trust was held at the beginning of the Trinity Term when the Panel consisted of the Dean, Fr. Gibbard SSJE (who had been the Missioner living in Hall during the University Mission) and two undergraduates Graham Kentfield and Roy Walmsley. At the fmal evening gathering of the year a film in the 'Fact and Faith' series was shown. These evening meetings, the keynote of which has been fellowship, have been very successful. The Fellowship has a Prayer Card and uses as its prayer 'O Holy Jesus, merciful Redeemer, May we know You more clearly, love You more dearly, and follow You more nearly, now and always.' R.A.C.

THE SOCIETY OF COSMOGRAPHERS THE ABSENCE of a report from this society must not be taken by readers to indicate its death. There is no doubt at all in Hall that the Society has continued to be .geographical and social and has eaten and drunk its way through another successful year of social geography.

THE CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE SOCIETY

MICHAELMAS TERM President: Y. LOVELOCK

HILARY TERM President: J. H. ALEXANDER For the first meeting of the term the Dean, who has kindly made his sitting-room available for all meetings of the Society, put us further in his debt by giving a very lucid introduction to the Four Quartets of T. S. Eliot. G. Josipovici read a most interesting and considered analysis of Nabokov's Lolita at the second meeting, and at the third J. N. Davie showed evidence of wide reading wisely applied in his survey of the work of George Orwell.

51


TRINITY TERM President: J. N. DAVIE One of our most frequent guests, Lizbeth Atkinson, opened the term's activities by talking about D. H. Lawrence's criticism in relation to his own creative work. For our second meeting J. H. Alexander attempted to provide a painless introduction to Joyce's Ulysses, and the year's activities were nobly wound up by A. McNamee, next year's president, reading a paper on Graham Greene based on five novels carefully chosen from his considerable output. Attendance has been consistently good, and the standard of papers and discussion high. Until such time as the Oxford English syllabus is brought up to date the Society should be able to count on an enthusiastic following.

THE CHESS CLUB

Captain: D. CRUDEN Secretary: J. GRIFFITH AT THE BEGINNING of the season the Hall was the only college with two sides in the Ist Division of the League but, though the 2nd team soundly defeated Keble, it joined them at the end of the season in a descent into the second Division. The rst team played steadily and astonished themselves by winning the League. It was also a major surprise for the rst team to reach the final of Cuppers. We defeated a much-fancied Queen's side in the semifinal by winning the bottom four boards. Jesus College, with two University players proved too strong in the Final however. On two separate occasions the Hall sent expeditionary forces east. Both had chastening experiences, one at the hands of King'~ College, Cambridge and one at those of Trinity College, Cambridge.

D.C. THE SCOPE CLUB WE CAN ONLY SURMISE that eye-strain has affected most of the secretarial galaxy of this Club~ Many conferences haw been held and the ¡ Brothers have visited many scopes and held a fine club dinner in the country. The Founder President will be sad to learn that the tradition of picturesque prose which he established for the reports of this society has suffered this temporary interruption. Vv' e hope that he and the present Disciplinary Officer of the Club will see that action is taken against the offenders.

THE BOAT CLUB Captain: T. R.R. RICHARDS Vice Captain: J. H. J. Ro GERS Secretary: E. A. DOWNING MICHAELMAS TERM BEFORE THE BEGINNING of term three fours trained at Henley under the direction of D. H. Mays-Smith Esq. and C. W. Holden Esq. After the beginning of term Dr. D. H. Richards coached the A Four, M. Lancaster Esq. the B Four and C. E. L. Mather the C Four. The A Four was beaten in the first round by a strong Christ Church crew, but both Band C reached their finals. After hitting the bank B were beaten by Keble containing four Blues while C very strongly won the 2nd division. B FOUR C FOUR A FOUR T. R.R. Richards H. M. Thomas N. McN. Jack.son T. G. Dixon D. J. Mills P.A. Coleridge S. R. Morris M. F. Rook.er R. A. Neden B. T. C. Morris J. H.J. Rogers J. F. Adey The Hall won both the Christ Church Regatta and the St. Edmund Hall Long Distance Race at Godstow. This was the first time that we had organised the Long Distance Race and it was. acknowledged by all to be a great success. T. G. Dixon and S. R. Morris reached the Final of Senior Pairs. but were beaten by Cox and Morton-Maskell, both Isis colours. S. R. Morris who later rowed at Bow in the winning Blue Boat was our only Senior Trial Cap, but P.A. Coleridge, M. F. Rooker, T. G. Dixon, D. J. Mills and H. M. Thomas rowed in Junior Trials.

HILARY TERM The First Torpid trained for a week before the beginning of term in Arctic conditions at Henley but with the big freeze up during the term all rowing came to a near standstill and Torpids were cancelled. With so many members of the Boat Club taking examinations it was decided not to enter for the Putney Head of the River Race.

TRINITY TERM As far as the records show the Hall set up a new University record on the Isis during Eights Week by having 7 boats on the nver.

53


The First VIII coached by The Rev. J. P. Burrough trained at Henley before the beginning of term together with the Second VIII coached by S. Graae. Dr. D. H. Richards took over the boat for the next fortnight at Godstow which then moved over to Henley for the final part of its training under D. H . Mays-Smith Esq. ¡ On the second night of Eights there was a disputed bump on Christ Church (Head of the River) but it was disallowed by the Chief Umpire. On the Third night Keble with the fastest crew seen on the Isis for several years bumped The Hall on their way to the Head of the River. On the Saturday the Hall rowed over very easily ahead of Balliol. The Second VIII was faster than many first VIIIs on the River and rowed to make three bumps stroked extremely well by]. H. ]. Rogers. The Third VIII coached by D .]. Mills rowed with great spirit to make 4 bumps as did the Fourth VIII (The First Schools VIII). The Fifth and Seventh VIIIs each made three bumps and the novice crew did well to hold their starting position. Although the First VIII unfortunately lost one place it was more than compensated by our total of I 5 bumps. Bow

Henley 1963

After Eights Week the First VIII was coxed and coached by S. Graae quite superbly. The fact that the coach was sitting in the cox's seat made little difference and the experiment was highly successful. After an indifferent performance during Eights Week we pursued a deliberate policy of not entering for any regattas until Henley which paid dividends. Hampered considerably by examinations the boat made rapid progress and with three easy races against St. Catharine' s, Cambridge, Imperial College London, and Lady Margaret, Cambridge, reached the final of the Ladies Plate for the first time ever. Sandhurst, the dark horses of the regatta, rowed a superb race to beat the Hall by half a length in 6.55, a very fast time for the conditions. The 'one-pace' American style the Hall adopted was a great success and many commented favourably on the Hall's new found length in the water. Throughout the year S. C. Rand Esq. was responsible for the Boat Club's high standard of fitness and much credit must go to him for this.

The Officers for next year are: Captain: D. J. MILLS Vice-Captain: E. A. DowNING Secretary: H. M. Thomas T.R.

THE CRICKET CLUB Captain: Y. Y. Secretary: R.

McP ARTLIN PAD FIELD

The First XI much enjoyable cricket, with a large wealth of talent available for many of the games. The opening match of the term was against the Frogs. The opposition were dismissed for 192 but our batting failed miserably and we scored only 65 in reply. This setback was followed by a convincing victory over the Haymakers and a comfortable last-over win against Keble. Against Pembroke an opening stand of l 10 between B. Mitchell and D. Goodwin saw us to the respectable total of 166 and the game ended in a draw. The game against Radley was interesting for the Captain's first good bowling spell. He was unlucky to concede 46 runs in eleven overs. We managed, however, to force a draw. A score of 95 against Worcester was enough to see us home by 29 runs whilst against King's College, London a meagre 109 gave us a 28 run win. This was followed by a 7 wicket win against the Buccaneers and an unexpected viCtory over Culham College when, with 3 hours less tea in which to beat their 179 for 3 declared, we managed our runs with time to spare. Christ Church in reply to our l 37 could only manage I l 7 for 8. Fitzwilliam House provided our second defeat of the season, replying to our 126 with 129 for seven. St. Edward's School provided an enjoyable game and answered our respectable 177 for 5 with a spirited 133 for seven. Against Gonville and Caius, however, chasing a total of 217, we only managed 130 for four. Against Trinity we mustered a mere 135 but eventually had them on their knees at 108 for nine. St. Peter' s College provided a fiery wicket and we dismissed them for 52. There was still life in the wicket however and we lost 5 wickets before we struggled to victory. Colours were awarded to G. Barber, J. Rushton, J. Blackburn, J. R. Taylor, D. Goodwin, J. M arsh and J. M~rtin. The following elections were made: Captain, G. Barber, Secretary, R. Taylor. R.C.P. THERE HAS BEEN

Second XI Captain:

J. 'F. BLACKBURN

The 2nd XI has only played five matches this term, of which two have been won, two drawn and one lost.

THE RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB Captain: S. R. HOGG

Secretary: P. M. NEWELL WE HOPED, as always, to win the League but, with about ten players usually performing for the Varsity or for the Greyhounds, and despite sterling work both on and off the field by the captain, we were unable to fulfil our hopes. If our first game against Corpusin which we were beaten by the narrowest of margins-had run the other way, we would have been very close. It was most unfortunate that the weather prevented our stars from showing their mettle in Cuppers. On paper we had the strongest -side ever with no hint of even one weak link. But we had to remain content with the glories of 1962. Our tour of the North East of England during the four days after term was a great success. Although losing dismally to Durham Colleges, we showed improvement to lose narrowly to Percy Park. In the last match v. Hartlepool Rovers we produced our best form for a long time and won by a convincing 14-6. We were extremely well-entertained by the charming people of this so-called depressed area. All credit to A. G. Rix for his smooth organisation. The officers for next season are: Captain, E. P. Gush; ViceCa ptain, A. G. Rix; Hon. Secretary, G.]. Williams. P.M.N.

THE ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL CLUB Captain: M.].

NOTLEY

Secretary: T.]. C. CANNON MICHAELMAS TERM WE BEGAN the term in fine style, beating Caius, Cambridge 7-4 with skipper Notley scoring six goals on his only appearance in the season. In the League championship we lost to Brasenose, the eventual champions, 2-1 in the vital match. Had our final league game against Lincoln not been abandoned because of heavy frost,

57


we should most probably have been rmmers-up. Among our friendlies we had a fine 3-r away victory over Imperial College, London, and drew 4-4 with the Old Aularians and 3-3 with Emmanuel, Cambridge. The Choughs had an excellent season under their captain. K. B. Dillon, losing only to Westminster College, 5-2. They won the Reserve League, winning every match with ease, and ended the term by drawing 3-3 with a very disconsolate rst XL

HILARY TERM This term was completely ruined by the freezing weather, so that we could only play one match, against Brasenose, which we won 3-2. Cuppers, for which we were clear favourites, were abandoned, as was the six-a-side competition planned to replace Cuppers. Officials for 1963-4 are: Captain, J. P. Marsh; Secretary, S. 0 . .~ Burgess. Colours were awarded to S. 0. Burgess, K. B. Dillon, H.J. Ferns, D. E. Harding, P. Bingley and J.P. Marsh. T.J.C.C.

THE HOCKEY CLUB Captain: A.

MACLACHLAN

Secretary: P. W.

MOODY

from the preliminary rounds of Cuppers, only ten Hall matches were played in the Michaelmas term, and in the Hilary Term the postponed Cuppers Final was the sole survivor of snow and ice. Of the ordinary Hall matches eight were won and two lost, the latter being against Bristolienses-not surprisingly, and against Pembroke-ignominiously. St. John's, Oriel, Balliol and Keble were removed from Cuppers with few anxious moments, and Corpus were comfortably beaten in the final. The tour in Paris was energetic and would still have caused fatigue had the available beds been slept in more often. Six matches were played-against the French Army, L'Ecole des Cadres, Racing Club, Montrouze, Stade Frarn;:ais and Paris University. Two matches were won and 4 were lost. The Hall had six representatives in the University match. They were M.A. Elmitt, C. J. G. Atkinson, M.A. Roberts, P . J. Wilson, R. C. Padfield and D. A. T. McCammon. M. B. Corrie, R. P. Meeres and C. B. Harmer were elected to

the O.U. Occasionals H.C. Hall colours were awarded to J. R. Thorogood, M. B. Corrie, N. H. Pegram, R. P. Meeres and C. B. Harmer. P. W. Moody was elected Captain and R. P. Meeres Secretary for 1963-4. P.W.M.

THE LAWN TENNIS CLUB

Captain:

c. J.

ATKINSON

Secretary: A. G. Rrx ALL AUGURED WELL for college tennis at the begimiing of term. The sun shone; we had three well established players in C. Atkinson, M. Sproule and G. Warner; the influx of Freshmen contained two useful players and, most strikingly of all, there was an embarassingly large number of able players who could be reckoned on to sweep aside any opposition in 2nd VI matches. Unfortunately the weather was as unkind as ever, causing the cancellation of three extra-league matches. In Cuppers, despite our three Blues strongly supported by T. Benoy, K. Hindle and R. Meeres, we lost disappointingly to an Lmbalanced but thrustful St. Catherine's in the semi-final, after two devastating wins to love versus Hertford and Pembroke in the earlier rounds. We were undefeated in the League save against St. Peter' s College who beat us 5-4, thus depriving us of the League lead. Only the second VI remained true to promise without a single loss. Colours were awarded to T. Benoy, K. Hindle, R. Meeres, A. Rix and P. Newell. A.G.R.

'IHE ATHLETICS CLUB

President: R. HARVEY Secretary:. D. SCHARER IN MICHAELMAS TERM in the Inter-College Relays, the Hall was placed a rather disappointing third behind our old rivals Brasenose and Corpus, but a week later retained the Field events Cup by a large margin. The competition was cut short by the weather and the pole vault and the triple jump cancelled. However, with the competition record holders, M. Ralph and P. Bingley, still in residence, the final result, if all events had been contested, would never have been in doubt.

59


In Hilary Term athletics was particularly hit by the Big Freeze. Cuppers had to be postponed as the track was unusable long after the snow and ice had melted. Cuppers were held in Trinity Term and the final was between Hall, Brasenose, Trinity and Queen's. On the track we only won two events, the second strings 100 yards and Soo yards, but we scored heavily in the field events, taking eleven first places out of fourteen. The general strength of the team can be judged from the fact that in no event did we come last. The Hall led on points from start to finish and finally came out winners by 26 points from Brasenose and Trinity, to retain the cup. During term several college matches were held. We beat St. Albans School but lost to Gottingen University. In two other matches we fielded a combined team with Brasenose, and lost to Emmanuel, Cambridge and Queen's College, Belfast. Colours were awarded to B. K. Lewis, R. Norton, J. Gormally, G. Williams, E. Roberts, T. Jones and A. Hawkes. The officers for 1963-4 are: President, M. Statham and Secretary, A. Hawkes. D.H.S.

THE CROSS COUNTRY CLUB Captain: M. L. STATHAM

MICHAELMAS TERM WE STARTED the season well by coming in 19th out of 43 teams in the University College, London Relays-six places better than last year and five minutes faster. At home we narrowly lost to Sheffield University first team and went on to score convincing wins over the London School of Economics and Kings College London, though a weaker second team lost by one point to Loughborough G.S. We easily won our three league races. Cuppers proved the highlight of the season, the Hall gaining the first team position and bringing the cross-country cup to the Hall-it is believed for the first time. M. Statham also was the individual winner in Cuppers.

HILARY TERM Despite the arctic conditions the club managed to get through all its fixtures, even our annual Road Relay for which a record number of 34 Oxford and Cambridge colleges entered. We slipped to I Ith place from last year's position of 3rd. In the . Imperial College Hyde Park Relay however we came 18th out of 75 University and college teams as compared with 35th last year. During the rest

60


of term we won the remaining league races, lost heavily to Southampton University and only did moderately well in the Culham road relay. R. W. Harvey and M. L. Statham competed for the University against Cambridge and R. Norton gained his half-blue this season. The following election has been made: Captain, T. L. Jones. Hall colours were awarded to R. Norton and T. L. Jones. M.L.S.

THE SQUASH RACKETS CLUB Captain: R. C. S. CLARK Secretary: D. E. TIMMS

MICHAELMAS TERM THE REMARKABLE KEENNESS shown by all standards of squash players meant that the Hall teams achieved an outstanding record for the season. The League team won all five matches with considerable ease and proved clear winners in the First Division. The second V won most of its fixtures, whilst the first V achieved notable victories over Clare, Cambridge (3-2), Shillingford Bridge (3-2) and Imperial College, London (5-0).

HILARY TERM The remarkable victory of the Cuppers team over Jesus College in the Final, after defeating Lincoln, Worcester and Trinity on the way, provided an exhilarating climax to the term's activities. With the score 2 all, the result depended on the fifth string's match. Amidst mounting tension in a packed gallery, John Gurney, last year's captain, after being 2-I down, won the fifth game 9-5 and Cuppers for the first time in the Hall's history. Colours were awarded to G. Barber, M. Groves, A. Lewis, J. Parr and D. Timms. Officers for the coming season are: Captain, S. R. G. White; Hon. Secretary, M. G. M. Groves. D.E.T.

THE BADMINTON CLUB Captain: J. DIXON Secretary: C. J. B. JAMES

MICHAELMAS TERM AFTER RELEGATION last year to Division II of the League, the Badminton IV played particularly well and earned easy promotion

61


back to Division I. In the League we won four matches, lost one and drew one, finishing second in the Division. In all but one match the team consisted of the same players as last year. Our wins were, without exception, convincing wins, and our one defeat was by Brasenose, the eventual head of the Division. A non-league match was played against Culham College which we won 5-4 in a very close and exciting evening's badminton.

HILARY TERM This was, by comparison, a lean term. Only two matches were played, one a non-league fixture and one a Cuppers match. Our high hopes for Cuppers were dashed when we were beaten in the first round by Lincoln. We won our other match, against Westminster College, 8-r. There has been an increase over previous years of the number of Freshmen interested in badminton and it is hoped in the coming season to play a second IV in the League, where new players will be given every opportunity of improving their game and their match technique. Officers for 1963-4 are: Captain, C. J. B. James; Secretary, D. Statham. C.J.B.J.

THE SWIMMING CLUB Captain: F.

ROBINSON

for the first time since 1935, we won the Inter-Collegiate Cup. Hall colours were accordingly awarded to A. Cowan, D. Fitzwilliams, G. Kerr, H. Lith, and F. Robinson. In Trinity Term, on an overcast June day, the annual race on the Isis from the O.U.B.C. to Donnington Bridge was held under the supervision of the Dean. He photographed the competitors (dry) before the race, and in twos and threes (wet) after they finished. While the race was in progress he patrolled the river in a launch, protected swimmers from trespassing eights and punts, and when the sixteen entrants-a record number-had all completed the course he presented the Farrand Cup to the winner H. Lith and the tankard for second place to A. Cowan. A. Cowan and H. Lith were awarded Half-blues for the season. A. Cowan was elected Captain for next year. F.R. IN HILARY TERM,

ENDOWMENT FUND the New Buildings Fund takes precedence in the Hall's money-raising efforts, the Endowment Fund retains its central and vitally important position in our permanent financial strategy. Indeed, since one of its specified objectives is the extension of the Hall's buildings, the Endowment Fund has played a notable part in the purchase of the new site, and it has also made, and will continue to make, valuable contributions to the realization of the building plans. It is therefore satisfactory to record that subscriptions to it, by gift or w1der deed of covenant, have been maintained throughout the past year. The following is the list 0f subscribers.
