OCTOBER 1966

EDITORS 1965-6: P. J. DAY, Editor S. J. GATRELL, Assistant Editor

DE PERSONIS ET REBUS AULARIBUS THE PRINCIPAL was installed as Vice-Chancellor (the first in the Hall's history) on 28 September, but as he was in hospital with jaundice the ceremony had to be carried out by proxy. As it goes to press the Magazine learns, with profound regret which all Aularians must share, that the Principal has felt obliged to tender his resignation to the Chancellor; his illness was taking much longer to clear up than was originally expected and the doctors indicated that he would not be fully fit for work until January. In Dr. Kelly's view this was too long a period for the University to be without an active ViceChancellor, and so he felt it his duty to stand down.

THE PRINCIPAL

Throughout the past year the Principal has been the Chancellor's nominee on Hebdomadal Council, a Curator of the Chest, Chairman of both the Education Delegacies and of the Curators of the Oriental Institute, and a member of a large number of University committees.

As Pro-Vice-Chancellor he has represented the University at the installation of Sir Alec Douglas Hume as Chancellor of the new Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, and of Lord Polwarth as Chancellor of Aberdeen University. In March he was a member of the small party accompanying the Archbishop of Canterbury on his visit to Pope Paul VI, and took part in the historic ceremonies in the Sistine Chapel and St. Paul's Basilica.

I

HONORARY AND EMERITUS congratulates Professor George Wilson Knight, Honorary Fellow, on having the honorary degree of Doctor of Letters conferred on him in June by the University of Sheffield. It also congratulates Professor John McManners, Emeritus Fellow, who has been spending the past academic year as a Visiting Fellow of All Souls, on his appointment to a Chair of History at Leicester University. His departure from Sydney will be a great loss to the flourishing school of History at the University there, but his many friends and all who value historical studies will rejoice that such a fine scholar is returning to work in England. To Bishop J. W. C. Ward, Honorary Fellow, the Magazine offers sincere sympathy on the death of his wife on 26 August.

THE MAGAZINE

THE FELLOWS (Dr. R. Fargher) has acted as Secretary of the Governing Body during the past year; in Trinity Term he examined for the Honour School of Modern Languages. The Dean (Revd. E. G. Midgley) finished his term of office as Chairman of the English Faculty, examined for the B.Phil. in Modern English Studies, was nominated as a Delegate of Lodgings, and has been invited to serve on the Vice-Chancellor's recently established panel for adjudicating on appeals against Proctorial disciplinary decisions.

Mr. Alton contributed an important article to The Oxford Magazine, (Trinity 4, 1966) on the implications of the Report of the Commission of Inquiry for the poorer Colleges. Dr. G. Series re-visited the University of Colorado in June-July for research purposes. Dr. R. B. Mitchell gave two lectures at University College, Dublin, in March, and again examined for the Honour School of English Language and Literature in Trinity Term. During next academic year he will be on sabbatical leave and will be teaching in the English Department of Brown University, Providence, R.I., U.S.A. The Revd. H. E. J. Cowdrey has ceased to be Librarian. In July, 1965, he read a paper to the Anglo-American Conference of Historians in London, and this year examined for the Pass School. Professor Hume-Rothery in March attended the Battelle Conference in Geneva on 'Phase Stability in Metals and Alloys' and presented the first of the introductory papers. On 3 l March he officially opened the new Metallurgical Department in the University of Sheffield, and the honorary degree of Doctor of Metallurgy was conferred on him. Mr. R. B. Pugh served as a member of the British Travel Selection Committee (Study Grant category) for the years 1965 and THE VICE-PRINCIPAL

2

1966, and in June was elected a Vice-President of the Seldon Society.

Mr. J. C. B. Gosling examined in Trinity Term in the Honour School of Literae Humaniores. Dr. F. J. C. Rossotti is Chairman of the Sub-Faculty of Chemistry, and in Trinity Term examined for the Honour Schools of Chemistry and Metallurgy. He presided at the Ninth International Conference on Co-ordination Chemistry at St. Moritz in September. Dr. I. D. Scargill has been appointed Acting Junior Dean for the year 1966-7 during the absence of Dr. Mitchell. Dr. J. W. Christian gave the Introductory Lecture to the 1965 Iron and Steel Institute Conference, and in March this year was invited to lecture to the Second Buhl International Conference on Materials at Pittsburgh, U.S.A. Dr. W. S. C. Williams has accepted an appointment at Stanford University, U .S.A., for the academic year 1966-7, and will be out of residence during that year. Mr. J. Hackney has been appointed Librarian. Mr. A. I. Marsh has been asked by the Royal Commission on Trade Unions to submit a research paper on Disputes Procedures, and has been supervising other such papers with research assistants on the Check-off (i.e. the payroll deductions of trade union dues by employers) and on Trade Union Welfare benefits. With Mr. D . Robinson, of the Institute of Economics and Statistics, he has been analysing earnings drift at a large engineering works in the Midlands; and he has been invited by the Ministry of Labour to arrange a project of research into the industrial relations of the motor industry. Mr. R. G. Smethurst has been appointed Secretary to the Governing Body. In pursuance of his studies in the use of food surpluses as aid to developing countries, he spent September, 1965, and April this year at the headquarters of the U.N./F.A.O. World Food Program in Rome, and the long vacation visiting development projects in Asian Turkey. Mr. 0.

Murray has been appointed a member of the Governing Body.

PROCTORSHIP COMPLETED is to be congratulated on carrying out his varied and responsible duties as Senior Proctor with a combination of cheerful v~gour, realism, and statesmanlike good sense. In particular, he and ~s ~oll.eague did much to rehabilitate the reputation of the Proctors' disc1plma_ry powers at a time when they were coming under sharp fire. In his farewell speech delivered in the Convocation House on 16 March, he recalled that, although he was the first Proctor to be elected by the Hall, two members of the Hall had previously held the office: Thomas Lee, when Principal, was Junior Proctor in 1459-00, and Edward Moore, also while Principal, was elected Senior Proctor by Queen's for 1871-2.

DR. YARD LEY

3

Dr. Yardley took part in a colloquium of Commonwealth Law Officers in January, examined for the Winter Williams Law Prize in March, and was elected Chairman of the Senior Treasurer's Committee in the spring. He has been appointed by the new Proctors as a Delegate of Privileges for 1966-7, and is ex officio (as immediate ex-Proctor) Delegate for the University Police for 1966-7. He has been elected by Congregation as a Curator of the University Theatre and a Delegate of Extra-Mural Studies. He has been appointed by the Oxford Regional Hospital Board as a member of the Littlemore Group Hospital Management Committee. In May the Lord Chancellor appointed him a professional member of the Thames Valley Rent Assessment Panel, and in June he visited the University of Nigeria as constitutional adviser and examiner.

FAREWELL TO FELLOWS THE PAST SUMMER saw the departure of three Fellows from the service of the Hall. To the deep regret of his colleagues and pupils, Mr. H. G. Barnes has felt obliged, because of the continued and serious deterioration of his health, to resign the Fellowship and Tutorship in German to which, after being Official Lecturer for many years, he was elected in 1957¡ Dr. W. Hume-Rothery, who brought lustre to the Hall when he joined it in 1957 as its first Professorial Fellow, has vacated the Isaac Wolfson Chair in Metallurgy, and with it his Fellowship, on reaching the statutory age for retirement. Mr. P. C. Swann, elected to a Professorial Fellowship in 1962, has relinquished the Keepership of the Department of Eastern Art at the Ashmolean Museum in order to take up the important and highly responsible position of Director of the Royal Ontario Museum. While thanking all three for their help and counsel as Fellows, the Hall extends its best wishes to Mr. Barnes for refreshment and restoration of health, to Dr. HumeRothery for many years of vigorous and creative retirement, and to Mr. Swann for success and prosperity in his new career in Canada.

NEW FELLOWS M.A., Ph.D. (Cantab.), F.R.S., since 1964 Reader in Physics at Cambridge, has been appointed to the Isaac Wolfson Chair in Metallurgy in succession to Professor HumeRothery and, as the Chair is attached to the Hall, became a Fellow and member of the Governing Body in Michaelmas Term this year.

A graduate of St. Catherine' s College, Cambridge, he has been a Fellow of Christ's since 1960, and has done distinguished research PETER BERNARD HIRSCH,

HARRY GEORGE (ROGER) BARNES Fellow 1957-1966

WILLIAM HUME-ROTHERY Professorial Fellow 1957-1966

with the electron microscope on imperfections in the crystalline structure of metals and. on the relation between structural defects and mechanical properties.

Two other new Fellows were elected in the course of the academic year and entered upon office along with Professor Hirsch.

Mark Sheard Child, M .A., Ph.D. (Cantab.), Lecturer in Theoretical Chemistry at the University of Glasgow, was elected in Hilary Term to a Unilever Fellowship and Tutorship in Chemistry. The title is due to the fact that Unilever Ltd. has generously agreed to make the sum of ÂŁ500 p.a. available for four years for the support of the Fellowship. A graduate of Clare College, Cambridge, Dr. Child was for a year Research Fellow at Berkeley, California, and is currently interested in the quantum. mechanical theory of molecular collisions and chemical reactions. His appointment means that the Hall now has two Fellows in Chemistry. As successor to Mr. H. G. Barnes, the Governing Body has elected Kenneth Henry Segar, B.A., Research Fellow of Merton College, to a Fellowship and Tutorship in German. Mr. Segar is a graduate ofLincoln College, and is engaged in research on the Austrian writer, Arthur Schnitzler; he is already well known to many junior mem.bers of the Hall, for he h:1:s undertaken a certain amount of teaching for the College during the past year. The Magazine respectfully welcomes all three new Fellows, and expresses the wish that they may settle down happily in their fresh environment.

TUTOR FOR ADMISSIONS admissions to the Hall have been managed by the Principal in consultation with the Senior Tutor, although soon after the granting of the charter of incorporation admissions committees consisting of the tutors in each subject or group of subjects were formed to advise the Principal and in effect to select candidates. It has recently become increasingly obvious that, the Hal~ ha".ing become one of the numerically largest societies in the Untvers1ty, the traditional procedure needs overhauling, and the devolvement of larger University responsibilities on the Principal has. bought matters to a head. The Governing Body has therefore decide? to create, as from the beginning of Michaelmas Term 1966, an entuely new office, that of Tutor for Admissions whose holder will deal with all aspects of admissions and will be the Hall's liaison officer with ~h~ Oxford Colleges Admissions Office. The existing faculty adm1ss1ons committees will, of course, retain all their functions, but the Admissions Tutor will work in close co-operation FOR MANY YEARS

5

with them and will handle all correspondence connected with admissions, graduate or undergraduate. The first holder of the office will be Mr. R. Oxburgh, Fellow and Tutor in Geology, whose academic upbringing (which included classics and natural science) should give him an unusually wide equipment for dealing with the ¡ competing disciplines.

NEW LECTURERS M.A., Research Lecturer at Christ Church, has been appointed joint Lecturer in Music, ~ith University and Wadham Colleges. Peter Jack Collins, B.A., Corpus Christi College, has been appointed Research Lecturer in Mathematics in succession to Dr. J. A. D. Welsh, who has resigned on being elected to a Fellowship at Merton College. Both these appointments take effect from the beginning of Michaelmas Term this year.

DONALD EDWARD OLLESON,

IN MEMORIAM THE SUDDEN DEATH of Laurence (Lars) William Hanson on 20 January was a severe blow to the whole University, but brought a particularly poignant sense of loss to his Aularian friends in Oxford and throughout the country. As most Aularians know, he was an accomplished librarian and a deeply learned student and teacher of bibliography; and he carried out his duties as Keeper of Printed Books in the Bodleian (he was appointed in 1948, having worked previously in the British Museum) with energy and distinction.

His experience and wide interest in library matters made him an obvious choice for the important University Committee on Libraries, and as one of its members he was visiting libraries in the United States only a few days before his death. It is melancholy to reflect that the special knowledge and insight he possessed have been snatched away from the University at the very moment when it most needs them. For the Hall itself, ever since he first came to it in 1925 as a boy from Heath Grammar School, Halifax, he always retained a special affection; and he served as Honorary Secretary of the Aularian Association from l9thJune 1935, when he was elected, until the inauguration of the revised constitution last December.

Many of his closest friends were Aularians, and there were few London dinners or Oxford Reunions from which he was absent.

His memory will long be treasured at the Hall, and its members everywhere will join in offering their sympathy and condolences to his widow and children.

A NEW SENIOR STUDENTSHIP WITH THE SUPPORT of funds provided by Mr. Gilbert Verney, of Bennington, New Hampshire, U.S.A., a Senior Studentship in Social History was established at the Hall in June with the object of encouraging research into the history of the Verney family. The award was immediately advertised, and the choice of the electors has fallen on Mr. J. B. F. Broad, Oriel College, a young graduate in Modern History, who will come into residence im Michaelmas Term this year. The Magazine understands that he will be granted access to the voluminous Verney family archives.

ST. PETER-IN-THE-EAST this year a Scheme, prepared by the Church Commissioners after consultation with the parties concerned, including the Hall, was approved by the Queen in Cow1cil and published (4 February) in 'The London Gazette' effecting the union of the three benefices of St. Mary the Virgin, St. Peter-in-the-East, and St. Cross in the City of Oxford. From the ecclesiastical point of view the Scheme is a routine instance of pastoral reorganization with the object of amalgamating three adjacent and largely depopulated parishes under a single incumbent, but its repercussions on the Hall are of far-reaching importance. The Schedule attached to it provides that 'the church of Saint Peter-in-the-East ... shall be held by the Diocesan Board of Finance of the Diocese of Oxford ... on Trust to allow the same to be used by Saint Edmund Hall, Oxford .. . in connection with the religious and educational life of Saint Edmund Hall'. After detailing the Hall's responsibility for repairing and maintaining the church and the conditions on which alterations in or additions to the interior or the fabric may be made, the Schedule further provides that ' the diocesan authority may from time to time enter into agreement with Saint Edmund Hall on consequential or ancillary matters in connection with the appropriation and use of the said church, not being repugnant to or inconsistent with the provisions of this Scheme'. Arrangements are finally made for the termination of the use of the church by the Hall if at any time either the Bishop or the Hall should request this on the ground that the church is no longer required for the use specified.

These agreements represent the result of complicated negotiations which the Hall has been carrying on over the past several years; indeed, the question of the appropriation of the church to the Hall

EARLY IN FEBRUARY

7

has been under discussion, sometimes active and sometimes fitful, ever since the end of the war, if not earlier. What they amount to is that, while the freehold of the church remains vested with the Diocesan Board of Finance and that of the churchyard with the incumbent of the combined parishes, they are in effect placed at the disposal of the Hall for such purposes as it deems fit, subject to the approval of the diocesan authorities. Thus an ambitious dream which Aularians have wistfully entertained for many years has at long last been realized. Many particular issues still need to be settled-for example, any modifications which the Hall may want to carry out in the church or churchyard require the consent of the diocesan authorities, and at the time of writing a host of these are under consideration-but the great principle is now settled, and the Hall can congratulate itself on taking possession, to all intents and purposes, of one of the most splendid buildings in Oxford and one of the most gracious and beautiful open spaces in the centre of the city.

- The Governing Body has naturally given a great deal of thought to the use to which the Hall should put these valuable accessions. The problem of the churchyard is easy. With many, possibly most, of the gravestones removed, it can become a garden, and there is no amenity which the Hall, with its very constricted site, more desperately needs. When the paths have been re-drawn and entrances created at the bottom of Staircases 1 and 4, it will be possible to obtain direct access to it from the main quadrangle. The church itself at first seemed a more difficult problem, for what appeared the obvious solution (to use it for services) would have meant saddling the Hall with a far larger chapel than present-day needs could warrant and would have rendered the present exquisite Caroline chapel useless. The plan which finally commended itself, and which has been warmly welcomed by the various diocesan and church advisory bodies concerned, is to convert it into a college library. The inadequacy of the existing undergraduate library in the Besse Building, in space both for books and for readers, has become glaringly obvious, and the conversion of the church will not only remedy this but will provide the Hall with one of the most spacious and magnificent libraries in Oxford. A certain amount of interior adaptation and complete refurnishing will be called for, but these will be carried out in such a way as to set off the full architectural quality of the building.

The work which will need to be carried out on the church itself and on the churchyard will inevitably be costly, but the Governing Body plans to put it in hand at the earliest possible moment after the necessary approvals have been obtained.

8

ASSIST ANT LIBRARIAN THE UNDERGRADUATES' library, known as the Bishop Allen Library, has been administered by a Fellow of the Hall acting as Librarian; for several years he has been assisted by a small nurn.ber of w1dergraduates in receipt of library bursaries. In the past the system may have worked reasonably well, the number of books purchased annually being relatively small and the modest accommodation available being adequate to house the collection; but in recent years, with the stepping-up of funds for the purchase of books and the embarrassing over-crowding of the shelves, it has come near break-down. The task of cataloguing books alone, not to mention those of ordering books on the recommendation of faculty representatives and of supervising their issue and return, has become much too complex and onerous to be discharged by part-time amateurs. It is obvious, too, that with the transference of the library to St. Peter' sin-the-East and the consequent wholesale re-arrangement and recataloguing of the collection, extraordinary measures are called for.

The Governing Body, therefore, in the light of the report of a consultant it engaged in Hilary Term, has taken the step of appointing a full-time Assistant Librarian on a three-year basis, without prejudice to the permanent arrangements which may be deemed desirable when the library is finally established in the church. The Assistant Librarian is Mr. D. F. M. Horsfield, B.A., of Balliol College, who studied for and obtained the Diploma in Librarianship at Sheffield University; he entered upon his office in the course of the past Long Vacation.

HITHERTO

NEW BUILDINGS APPEAL AS MOST AULARIANS are aware, a vigorous campaign to raise the balance required for the erection of the projected new buildings (estimated at approximately £160,000) was carried out, on a regional basis and with the assistance of numerous volunteer helpers, throughout the past winter; and the Principal, the Dean and the Bursar spent a great deal of time travelling up and down the country so that a member of the Governing Body might always be present at the many Appeal dinners which were arranged in different localities. On the advice of the fund-raising firm employed, the objective was in the first instance limited to raising £50,000; but as the initial results seemed to justify it, the campaign was early this year extended to the spring and summer, and the target was put up to £ 70,000. At the time of going to press (mid-July) the total receipts amounted to about £45,000; this represented some

9

300 deeds of covenant, a dozen or so banker's orders, and some 125 straight gifts. The Hall is deeply grateful to all subscribers, and owes a particular debt to the local helpers, many of whom went to immense trouble carrying out their often frustrating assignments.

It is also appreciative of the efforts of Major L. A. Wilkins, M.C., T.D., the resident campaign director appointed by Messrs. Hooker, Craigmyle and Co., who during his stay became almost an adoptive Aularian. Nevertheless the results so far must be reckoned deeply disappointing, especially when one notes that the total number of Aularians contributing (the figures above include parents of undergraduates and other friends of the Hall) scarcely reaches 400. It is appreciated, of course, that the recent campaign has been going over ground which had already been covered by the 1962 postal campaign, but at the same time one is bound to recall that only about 600 responded to that earlier Appeal. The stark fact remains that well over 2000 Aularians have to date made no response at all, in spite of the manifest urgency of the project. This is both bewildering and saddening in view of the very genuine loyalty which Aularians almost to a man feels toward their old College.

It may be that many are daunted by the size of the gap which remains to be filled, reflecting that anything they could contribute would be a mere drop in the bucket; but there is a grave fallacy here. If all, or even the majority of, those who have so far held their hand were to make out a seven-year deed of covenant for ÂŁ5 annually, or even less, the yawning gulf would be bridged for the cost to themselves annually of 20 packets of cigarettes, or a couple of bottles ofwhisky, or some other modest indulgence they commonly take in thejr stride. The Magazine hopes for its part that, if anyone whose memory has been sluggish or whose will has been reluctant or who has hitherto been an income-less undergraduate reads these words, he will be stirred into making the appropriate gesture and will either extricate his form of covenant out of his dusty Appeal brochure or will write at once to the Principal for a fresh one. By hook or crook the money must be fouf\d, and if the Hall cannot raise it from its wellwishers (who deserve that title more than its old members?), it will perforce have to borrow it at rates of interest which, as everyone knows, are nowadays crippling.

GIFTS THE BEST THANKS of the Hall are due to the following for gifts they have made to the Hall : To Professor Hume-Rothery for his gift to the Library of a set of the Annual Reports of the Chemical Society from 1918 to 1964.

To the Central Electricity Generating Board for a gift of ÂŁ50 for 10

the purchase of books on Metallurgy, Chemistry and Engineering for the Library.

To Imperial Chemical Industries Ltd. for a gift of ÂŁ50 for the purchase of books on Metallurgy, Chemistry and Engineering for the Library.

To R. V. Jackson, Open Scholar, for presenting to the Old Library Apparatus ad Theologiam in usum academicorum (Londini, 1688), by S. Penton, sometime Principal of the Hall.

To the late Revd. Canon C. Leeper (matric. 1900) for a legacy of ÂŁ roo, to be used at the discretion of the Principal and Fellows.

To R. T. C. Worsley (matric. 1936) for a further gift of books on naval subjects towards the Dr. A. B. Emden Collection.

THROUGH A GLASS . ..

THE STAINED GLASS of the south-west window of the ante-chapel was badly damaged in the winter of 1964-5 through the impact of a misaimed snowball. As the deep colouring of the stained glass in any case made the ante-chapel inconveniently dark, the Governing Body has had it removed from both windows and replaced by squares of textured white glass similar to that filling the windows of the sacristy and the staircase to the Old Library. The Victorian glass is not distinguished of its kind, but as it has an Aularian interest (having been placed there in the l86o's in memory of Bishop Daniel Wilson, sometime Vice-Principal) it is to be hung on frames and displayed in the sacristry.

AULARIAN COMPOSER of the Hall are aware that Mr. Gordon Crosse, who has been described as the most exciting composer to have appeared in Britain since Richard Rodney Bennett, was an undergraduate at the Hall, matriculating in 1958 and obtaining his First in Music three years later. He first came to general notice in 1964, when he had a work, M eet My Folks!, commissioned for the Aldeburgh Festival, but he had already been composing for years, his Elegy (which he counts as Op. l) having been written in 1959 at Oxford, and his Antiphon on 'Assumpta est Maria' having featured on the programme of the Hall summer concert of that year. This year his Purgatory, a verbatim setting of Yeats's play, was given its premiere at the Cheltenham Festival and broadcast on the Third Programme.

The Magazine congratulates Mr. Crosse (who, incidentally, gave the Hall valuable help in the teaching of Music during the past year) on an achievement which for a yotmg man of 28 must be reckoned as highly impressive.

NOT ALL MEMBERS

TWO RECORDS? IN RECENT YEARS several of the better endowed Colleges have had the imaginative idea of establishing Schoolmaster Fellowships to enable selected schoolmasters to spend a 'sabbatical 'term in Oxford as temporary Fellows in their Senior Common Rooms. It is worth recording that during the past year no fewer than four Aularians have occupied these coveted positions-]. Shipwright (matric. 1936) at Christ Church, L. I. Stowe (matric. 1934) at New College, S. F. Parsons (matric. 1931) at Merton, and L. H. Elliott (matric. 1942) at Christ Church. It seems unlikely that any other College can equal this record.

It also deserves placing on record that in Trinity Term, 1966, four graduates of the Hall and one Fellow of the Hall were on the panel of examiners for the Final Honour School of Modern Languages.

These were (in French) R. Fargher (Fellow) and R . Harris (matric.

1951), Lecturer at Exeter, Magdalen, New College and Keble; (in Italian) C. Grayson (matric. 1938), Serena Professor of Italian Studies; (in Spanish) R. W. Truman (matric. 1954), Student of Christ Church and Lecturer at Brasenose; (in Russian) I. P. Foote (matric. 1948), Fellow of Queen's and Lecturer at the Hall.

FRANCIS BENNION PRIZES subject prescribed for the Francis Bennion Prize Essay was: 'How satisfactory is the protection given by English Law to the non-contractual rights of third parties?' The first prize of £20 was awarded to R. M. Willer, and the second of £10 to P. D. Davies, both third-year men reading Jurisprudence.

THIS YEAR THE

GRAHAM HAMILTON TRAVEL GRANTS once more indebted to the Aularian Association for making a further gift in the summer of 1965 to supplement the income of the Graham Hamilton Travel Fund. As a result grants of between £10 and £20 were made in Trinity Term to the following undergraduates to help them to finance trips to be undertaken in the Long Vacation: K. A. Bywater, G. M . Day, and R. M. Sherratt (camping expedition by car through France, Italy and Switzerland); J. Hughes (three weeks walking tour in the valley of the Loire); P. Irvine (walking and camping in Somerset); S. Manners (geographical tour in Belgium, Germany and Austria); L. Mortimer (camping expedition by car to and from Greece); M. P. St. Maur Sheil (mountaineering in various parts of Great Britain); P. Webb (archaeological trip by land-rover to S.W. Russia and N.W. Turkey).

OFFICERS OF THE J.C.R. THE OFFICERS elected at the end of Hilary Term 1966 to hold office until the end of Hilary Term 1967, were: President: J. W. Hartley. Steward: D. C. Jackson. Treasurer : R. Simmonds.

At the end of Trinity Term 1965, A. D. Yarrow, who in Hilary Term had been elected Steward, decided to go down for a year in order to acquire the necessary background for switching to a medical course. In his place the President nominated J. A. Scott, who held office in Michaelmas Term, 1965, and Hilary Term, 1966.

THE SUMMER DANCE THE DANCE COMMITTEE was faced this year with an entirely novel planning problem, for where the old Forum and the small Back Quadrangle were, is now the splendidly large but horribly squalid open space caused by last year's demolition. It was decided to hold a dance, even in the apparently cramped space, rather than break tradition, and the decision was triumphantly justified.

13

The whole of the Front Quadrangle was floored and a great awning stretched above. With the Well transformed into a mountain of flowers, chairs and table on the red-carpeted paths and floodlights carefully placed, we had a most attractive setting for a variety of bands and groups to produce a continuous similarity of noise. The Downliners Sect, the Mike Cotton Sound and the Sole Survivors drummed and twanged from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., while the Seven Stars Steel Band provided a different sound for two sessions, and John Gould and Messrs. Scott and Wood put on a cabaret which, in wit and versatility, beat many of the more expensive and professional performers we have hired in the past. The Buffet was placed in the Dining Hall this year and for the first time was produced from our own kitchens. The Manciple and his staff are to be congratulated on a lavish and generous collation. In the Emden Room a juke box played for those who liked their dancing in the dark.

Many an old veteran of Hall dances said that what had been planned as an emergency measure had turned out to be a splendid discovery-that the Quad was large enough to hold a great number of dancers without crowding and that, given the weather we had (after a frightening wet opening to the day) the loss of the Forum had proved a good thing, not only for our development plans, but for our dances.

The Magazine would like to thank the Chairman of the Dance Committee, Mr. Peter Driscoll and all his assistants, for a most enjoyable evening.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE M.C.R., 1965-6 been the second attempt to form a graduate society in Hall, and it appears to have been successful. Through the perseverance of a few graduates and the encouragement of the S.C.R., we survived a year in limbo and emerged as a coherent society during 1965-6.

At the beginning of this academic year the prolonged negotiations with Magdalen finally bore fruit in the lease of 7 Longwall, and the rest of the year has been a period of conversion and settling in. We now have a pleasant common-room, a handsomely equipped kitchen and the prospects of a small dining room and a writing room under the shadow of the old city wall.

Social functions have been limited because of renovation work on the house but they have been successful, and the fortnightly dinners in the Emden Room, introduced in Trinity Term, appear to be popular. More ambitious athletic projects such as an M.C.R. eight THIS HAS

14

and a bar billiards team have foundered, but we did hold a successful croquet match with a ladies' college, narrowly and diplomatically lost. Now that the M.C.R. is physically established, it will be the task of next year's President, D. Scharer, and his Committee, to encourage a more academically and socially active graduate society.

We would like publicly to thank the S.C.R.,especially Dr.Mitchell, our enthusiastic Senior Member, Dr. Yardley who guided us through our early constitutional problems and has been a generous Treasurer, and of course the Bursar for his wlflagging and active support in the midst of all his other development scheme trials.

A. w. BOWER UNIVERSITY CHALLENGE 1966 the Hall was invited to select a team to play in 'University Challenge'. The job of the selection of a team of four and one travelling reserve was carried out in the Hilary Term. There were around fifty initial applicants. By fifth week this number had been reduced to twelve by means of written tests (administered by Bamber Midgley) based on sample questions provided by Granada.

The final twelve were subjected to written and oral tests and, finally, to invitation University Challenge sessions using spoons, tin trays and beer mugs instead of buzzers !

Eventually, after many hours of careful consideration, five men emerged to form the best possible combination for a team. These five travelled to Manchester on 14th March for the recording session.

The most difficult decision had to be made after an afternoon of trial runs and camera tests. It was decided that the team should consist of S. T. Gatrell (captain), N. McN. Jackson, A. Bennett and R. Chattaway. R. Jackson was to be the reserve.

The first game began at 7 p.m. and by then 40 Hall supporters had arrived from Oxford in a coach provided by Granada. At the half way stage the Hall was level-pegging with the University of Warwick and the situation was tense! In the second half, however, we pulled away to quite an easy win. Mrs. B., the real star of the programme, displayed our exultant Teddy Bear to the widest audience of his career. After a break of half an hour, both team and supporters were again in position in the Studio. The opposition was Fitzwilliam House, Cambridge. At half-time, Fitzwilliam House was leading and, by the end of the game, had improved on their position. Edward Bear now began to look decidedly miserable but he must have considered, along with everyone else, that the whole thing had been worthwhile.

THE LONDON DINNER THE LONDON DINNER this year was an historic as well as a pleasant social occasion. Before it, the St. Edmund Hall Association was formally inaugurated by the election of officers and committee.

Appropriately, the gathering was large and fully representative. The minutes of that meeting are printed at the end of this report.

In a speech of whimsical charm, C. J. Hayes combined pride in the present with fond recollections of the past. For the present: his was a tale of records. The attendance was the highest ever, n9 Aularians had paid, II6 were present and II5 were sitting down. (This reporter failed to gather the explanation of this discrepancy.) There was a record number of dons present-indeed they had hired a mini-bus for their descent on London. The gathering was the widest in range ever to attend a London Dinner-from some who had matriculated in 1919 to others of the present generation of Hall men. It might have ranged more widely still, for a 93-year-old member-who matriculated in 1892-found himself obliged to decline: and with his regrets sent a donation to the Building Fund.

A message was to be sent to him from the dinner.

As this was the end of an era-for the Principal was no longer President-Mr. Hayes felt justified in looking back. This massive gathering was the 25th London Dinner: the first, which was described as 'not a London Dinner in the real sense' was held in 1929 with 46 Aularians present. The function was recognised and properly inaugurated in the following year, and Mr. Hayes had pleasantly interesting things to say about its history.

The Principal spoke of the great building scheme on which the Hall was about to embark, of the progress of the appeal in its early stages and of the gap between the total raised and the ultimate target.

(After dinner there was some evidence that these observations had stirred a response.) The Principal also referred to M. J. K. Smith's captaincy of the M.C.C. team in Australia and a message of congratulation was sent to Smith who had led England to victory in the Test Match which had finished that day in Sydney.

C. Broadhead, the newly elected President of the Association, thanked his two predecessors in office. Oratory at an end and the feast formally closed, members still found plenty of business to transact in another place.

The Executive Committee m.et at 3.30 p.m. in the Principal's Lodgings to discuss agenda for the Stated Meeting to be held before the London Dinner in January 1967. Evensong was at 6.30 p.m. and after sherry on the lawn the company moved to dinner.

The Principal proposed the toast Floreat Aula and reviewed some of the important events of the year, leaving the sporting successes to speak for themselves. He spoke of those of his colleagues who were leaving the Hall this term, Mr. Barnes and Professor HumeRothery, and wished them a long and happy retirement. He preferred, though, to spend more time on the future-the great building plan and the plan to turn St. Peter-in-the-East into a splendid new Library for the Hall, and to make a long-needed garden of the churchyard. This plan has been under discussion as long as he could remember the Hall and at last it had been realised.

Plans and work had progressed steadily during the year; the site was cleared and soon construction rather than destruction would be creating noise and turmoil in our midst. He had to speak of money.

The revived Appeal was not doing too badly, but a great deal was yet needed, and he put some straight-from-the-shoulder questions to those Aularians who had not yet found time to contribute. The target date for the opening of the new building was Michaelmas term, 1968.

After the Principal's speech, the President of the St. Edmund Hall Association, Mr. Charles Broadhead, broke tradition with a short but eloquent word of thanks to those who in administrative and culinary labour had made the Reunion possible and enjoyable.

A former pupil of Dover Grammar School, he entered the Hall in 1920, having previously served in the R.N.V.R. and the R.N.A.S. and having held a commission in the R .F.C. He read Natural Science at the University, gaining a distinction in the Shortened Course, and for several years was Head of the Science side at St. Lawrence's College, Ramsgate. His chief work was done at Camberley Grammar School, of which he was Headmaster for 23 years, retiring in 1954¡ He was Secretary of the Surrey Branch of the Incorporated Association of Headmasters for about 12 years, and was also a member of the Guildford Diocesan Conference and of the Diocesan Educational Cow1cil of the Voluntary Schools' Subcommittee. He was keenly interested in music, being one of the founders and also first President of the Camberley Musical Society, and on his retirement to Dover served on the committee of the Dover Music Club and assisted with the organization of the Kent Musical Festival.

Laurence William Hanson, B.Litt., M .A., died on 20 January 1966, at the age of 58. See note on page 6.

Marshall Mason Knappen, M.A., died on 17 January 1966. A graduate of the College of Wooster (1918-21), he came up to the Hall as a Rhodes Scholar in 1921 to read Theology, in which he gained a Second Class in 1923. He played lawn tennis for the Hall and represented it on the track. He went on to Princeton Theological Seminary, where he was awarded his Mastership in Theology. He 39

also took a Ph.D. in History at Cornell in 1927. He was ordained as a Congregational minister in 1925, but appears to have held a charge for only a short period, becoming an Assistant Professor of History at the University of Chicago and then eventually head of the History and Political Science Department at Michigan State College just before the War. He was in the Air Corps in 1943, and at the end of the War became Chief of the Religious Affairs Section and Deputy Chief of the Education Section in the American Control Commission of Germany, and was awarded the Legion of Merit. He returned to Michigan State College, and in 1954 became Professor of Political Science in the University of Michigan. He moved to Washington in 1957, where he was for several years the Executive Secretary to the Committee on Foreign Policy Legislation, and thereafter until his retirement in 1965 he held various visiting professorships. He held the honorary D.Litt. of his old College, the college of Wooster, being granted it in 1946. His book on Tudor Puritanism, written many years ago, still remains a valuable survey notwithstanding the fact that a generation of younger scholars has gone over the ground with fresh and stronger-lensed glasses. During the period in the 1930's when he was teaching at Chicago he numbered among his pupils Dr. Hastings Banda, the present Premier of Malawi.

The Revd. Arthur Francis Lee, B.A., died at Steyning, Sussex, on 4 May 1965. A former pupil of Calday Grange Grammar School, he entered the Hall in 1926 and took his degree in 1929 with honours in Modern History.

The Revd. Caryl Sampson, M.A., died suddenly at Sutton-atHone on 15 October 1965, at the age of 69. He entered the Hall in 1918, took his degree in 1921 and was ordained in the diocese of Rochester, in which he was to work for the whole of his life except a spell of ten years. After being curate successively at Chiddingston and St. Paul's, Rusthall, he became curate at Holy Trinity, Chelsea in 1926. In 1937 he was appointed Vicar of Sutton-at-Hone, Dartford, a position which he held for almost thirty years until his death. A country clergyman of the old school, he was personally retiring but a devoted pastor, meticulous in his attention to his religious and ministerial duties.

The Revd. Frank Albert Smalley, M.A., B.Litt., who matriculated in 1919, died on 24 October 1965. After being trained at Wycliffe Hall, he was ordained in 1923 in the diocese of Liverpool and served a title at Southport, but in 1925 joined the C.M.S. Mission to Chinese students in Tokyo. He was Principal of the C.M.S. College of the West China Union University from 1929 to 1940, and Principal of St. Michael's College, Limpsfield, from 1940 to 1944.

40

From 1944 to 1960 he was successively Home Secretary and General Secretary of the United Society for Christian Literature. He died at Hassocks, Sussex.

The Revd. Thomas Emrys Williams, who came up to the Hall in Hilary Term, 1920, died at Rustington, Sussex, after a long illness on 5 March 1966. After training at St. Michael's, Llandaff, he was ordained in 1923 in the diocese of Bangor, served curacies both in England and in Wales, and from 1938 to 1942 was rector of Gullington. In 1942 he was appointed Rector ofBryngwyn with Newchurch, remaining there until 1955, when he became Vicar of Llanigin with Capel-y-Ffin.

CLUBS AND SOCIETIES THE DEBATING SOCIETY President: J. NESBITT Secretary: B. BRODIE the elected President, did not return to Oxford in Michaelmas and so J. Nesbitt the secretary-elect took over, asking B. Brodie to be Secretary. The Society's first debate was with the Twenty Club of New College, held in the Red Room at New College before an audience of six. The motion-'That this House believes that money is everything'-was proposed by Mr. Bernard Ricks of New College and Mr. Nesbitt, and the Secretary and the Secretary of the Twenty Club opposed. The House was evenly divided, and the President of the Twenty Club declined to vote.

A guest debate was held in Hall on the motion 'That Englishmen make inadequate lovers'. The guests were Mr. Julian Paul, exPresident of 0. U.C.A., Mr. Nick Montague, Miss Janet Redman and Miss Jubilee Wessell. This debate was a complete shambles, as wellrefreshed rugger men from Hall and Exeter College decided to lend their support to the Society from the balcony of the Hall. The President wisely terminated the debate. The motion went to a vote and was defeated.

The first fixture of the Hilary Term was ¡an away debate with St. Catherine' s, which was again almost entirely ruined by rowdy elements in the audience. Mr. Nesbitt and Mr. Samuel ably represented the Hall with the Secretary accompanying in the role of non-playing Captain. The motion-'That this House deplores the theory of competition'-was defeated. A return debate was arranged with St. Catherine's but had to be cancelled at short notice.

In Trinity Term the Society moved to the Emden Room to prevent debates like the one held in Hall at the end of Michaelmas Term. In a debate with St. Catherine's, Mr. N. Blair proposed the motion, 'That this House supports the American policy in Vietnam', supported by C. J. Dunford. Against the motion were Mr. Jack O'Reilly and Mr. Lynch of St. Catherine's. All the speeches, both from the main speakers and from the floor were of high quality, and the debate was still in full swing at 11.30. The motion was put to the vote and, an equal number of votes being cast on either side, the President declined to use his casting vote.

Mr. C. J. Dunford and Mr. N. Blair were elected President and Secretary respectively of the Society.

THE ESSAY SOCIETY

MICHAELMAS TERM President: Z . AHMAD ALL BUT ONE of the essayists this term were ultra mare. Mr. P. Driscoll as the sole Sassenach, wrote upon 'The Only Art' which turned out to be music, for little reason except it was the only subject of his essay. Mr. E. Chamberlain treated the Society to a highly amusing chronological and cosmological survey of the institution of national flags while, in the following week, Mr. A. K. Sinha devoted himself to a remarkably lucid exposition of the Bhagavad-Ghita, a work, he said, second in interest only to the Kama-Sutra for western non-students of India. At the Port and Dessert meeting Mr. J. Still took Hardy to task for the inadequacy of the plot of 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles', and broadened his attack to include God (the rationale being perhaps that the Ultimate Author is open to Literary Criticism). Mr. N. Schreiner delivered himself of an essay on the relativism of madness, chiefly remarkable for its structure, achieving the age-old literary am.bition of complete decorum of form and content! Mr. R. G. Beehler wrote on the commercial exploitation of sexual values, particularly in advertising.

His essay had charm and persuasiveness, though a good deal weakened by much too convincing statistics. The last essay of the term was of scant interest.

Z.A. HILARY TERM President: P. E. DRISCOLL

The term began with an essay by Mr. P. Little called 'The Soul of the Chimpanzee' in which he held up for our ridicule some choice examples of bad verse. The following week Mr. McN. Jackson taunted us with the title 'Civilised?' At the next meeting Mr. J. Unkovic' s 'Addenda for "The Kandy Koloured, Tangerine Flake, Streamline Baby" 'used Tom Wolfe's recent description of American culture to explain the phenomena of mobility and individualism among the young people of the United States. In fifth week the Society celebrated its Sooth meeting by a dinner, with Professor G. Wilson Knight as the guest of honour. He very kindly gave us some personal reminiscences of T. S. Eliot and by way of these put forward his own views on the spiritualist interpretation ofliterature.

The evening was very much a success and everyone was most grateful that such a distinguished guest was able to come. The week after the celebrations, as if to say that a stiff drink is the best remedy for a hangover, Mr. J. Bunney described a well-known 43

Scottish habit in his 'A sporran for me'. Next Mr. Michael Morrow took up the cause of reaction in his attack on the slavish subservience to fashion in 'The Rise and Fall of the Knightsbridge Muse'. At the last meeting of term the retiring President read a paper called 'The Golden Road to Samarkand', which was a precis of Flecker' s 'Hassan'.

P.E.D. TRINITY TERM President: A. DouLTON The green goddess has held court on the Emden Room on each Sunday of term as usual. In the first week she listened to a dramatic essay by Mr. M. J. Scannell entitled 'Son of Lady Macbeth' which was followed by Mr. R. Mardling' s 'Thoughts on a native city'-a look at Nottingham. For the third meeting the goddess had welcome competition from some members of 0. U.W.B.C. who appeared by general invitation. Mr. R. Pelham's essay 'The Impersonal Society' provided plenty to discuss on this occasion. The Dinner was held in the middle of term at which the Dean made a welcome return to read his old and well-tried essay on the literary response to Captain Cook's voyages. In Eights Week a small gathering discussed Mr. R. Jackson's consideration of the Romantic vision entitled 'This Darkling Plain'. The editor of the Hall Magazine read a fine paper 'This vile abuse' on the usage and abusage of the press, and the term ended with the Presidential offering, 'Culture and Comprehensive Anarchy' which was mainly concerned with education.

A.D.

THE MUSICAL SOCIETY MICHAELMAS AND HILARY TERMS President: P. L. LITTLE Secretary: D. B. HARRISON IT WAS DISAPPOINTING that very few freshmen were prepared to support the Musical Society by singing or playing at the beginning of the year. As a result of this and an equal lack of response to attempts to bring along members of the Women's Colleges to sing, the Society was unable to give its usual Michaelmas Term concert.

This was postponed to Hilary Term when a concert was given in St. Michael's-at-the-Northgate on February 25th. This was of very reasonable standard, but was unfortunately not well attended. The programme was: 44

Fantasia in C minor (organ) Festival Matins The 'Golden' Sonata ..

Processional (organ) ..

Toccatina (organ) Vesperae Solemnes (K. 339)

Bach Swann Purcell Mathias Yon Mozart

As a result of this concert, the Society was asked to perform the Festival Matins as part of the morning service in St. Giles' church: This was performed on May I 5th.

TRINITY TERM President: D. B. HARRISON Acting Secretary: P. L. LITTLE Attention turned to the Traditional Eights Week Concert.

Lack of singers again caused a mid-term change of programme.

However, despite all hazards, this proved to be an enjoyable evening's entertainment, including two 'home-grown' works. The programme played was: A Very Short Fanfare . . John Gould Music At The Court of Henry VIII Pastime with good company.

My love, she mourneth for me.

Hey trolly, lolly, lo Three Counter-Tenor Songs Last movement, G major piano trio Mozart Britten Hymn to St. Cecilia John Gould and John Shippen on Two Pianos Sing Cuckoo . .

Mimrn Albert Hall A Modern Hiawatha Toy Symphony Romberg The Society is essentially for all music-making n1embers of the Hall, and it hopes for a better response in the coming year both from. performers and listeners.

D.B.H.

THE JOHN OLDHAM SOCIETY President: D. ]. MORRIS THE HALL' s THEA TRI CAL

aspirations have again manifested themselves in a summer production and a play for Cuppers. The latter, in Michaelmas Term, was an abbreviated version of Huis Clos by 45

Jean-Paul Sartre. David Christian and Richard White appeared in it with Elizabeth O'Donovan (St. Hugh's) and Katie Hayland (Central Drama School) as guests. Although the play did not reach the final, it was given a special recommendation by the adjudicators, and all the cast are to be congratulated on their performances.

Owing to the comparative dearth of actors in the second year, it was thought that a Hall play could not be put on at the Playhouse.

Combining with another college was considered but the opinion of the S.C.R. was generally opposed to this, and so a production at Josca' s little theatre in Headington was put on for three nights at the end of Trinity Term. Three short modern plays were performedFoursome by Ionesco, Two Executioners by Arrabel and Krapp's Last Tape by Beckett. These plays, all belonging to the school of 'absurd' drama were very well received, and showed that there is considerable talent among the freshmen which will, it is hoped, be exploited next year.

Although not under the auspices of the Society, it is perhaps fair to mention the performance of Uncle Vanya by Chekov at Josca' s little theatre at the end of Hilary Term. This was produced by a Hall man and virtually all the cast came from Hall. The production was extremely successful and is going on tour to Pakistan during the summer vacation.

Finally it is hoped that strenuous efforts will be made to encourage next year's freshmen to take part in the dramatic activities of the Hall and help to maintain the reputation we have built up over the past years.

D.J.M.

THE HEARNE SOCIETY President: P. J. WEBB Secretary: G. A. METTERS and sherry party for freshmen, the term opened with a paper by Dr. P.H. Williams of New College entitled 'Tudor rebellions' which gave us an interesting glimpse into English society in the sixteenth century. At a joint meeting with the Liddon Society we heard the Archdeacon of Wiltshire, the Ven. C. A. Plaxton, talking on 'The Life of St. Edmund of Abingdon'. At the final meeting of term, Mr. C. W. Hewitt, a current member of society, read a paper entitled 'Checkmate in Two', relating the reasons for the failure of the Second Coalition against Revolutionary France.

Hilary Term began with a paper by Mr. R. C. Cobb of Balliol College on the origins of popular violence in the France of the AFTER THE CUSTOMARY PORT

46

eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The following meeting saw the return of an ex-president of the society, Jeffrey Hill, who delivered a paper which he called 'The Tail of the Great Liberal Party', an account of working-class representation in the House of Commons in the final decade of the last century. At the final meeting of the year we heard a talk on 'Farrn.ers and Labourers I 8 50-9: some changes in the English rural scene' by Mr. J. P. D. Dunbabin, Fellow and Tutor of the Hall.

Officers for next year are : President: G. A. Metters and Secretary: C. Hart.

G.A.M. THE LIDDON SOCIETY President: L. G. MORTIMER Secretary: J. HUGHES A NEW POLICY has resulted in a very successful year. While it is true that our largest gathering was for port, the Society has gained a strong nucleus and seems to have achieved a new interest among members of the Hall in general.

The speakers invited over the pastyear have each beenanauthorityon the subject of their talk, which, while designed to stimulate Christian discussion has never been essentially 'religious'. This has meant that the Society has come to appeal to a much broader segment of the Hall. Because of the encouraging response to this policy we feel justified in pursuing it for another year in the hope of still greater support.

Four speakers came some distance to deliver their talks. They were the Revd. Wilfred Derry who spoke on Liddon; the Revd. John Elphinstone-Fyffe, who is a producer of B.B.C. T.V. religious programmes; the Archdeacon of Wiltshire, an expert on St. Edmund; and Brother Columba, S.S.F. Other speakers were the Principal of St. Hughes, who illustrated her excavations at Jericho, the Warden of Keble on prayer, Mr. Christopher H eadington talking on sacred music; and, of course, the Dean.

L.C.M.

THE SOCIETY OF COSMOGRAPHERS COCKTAIL PARTIES were held in theMichaelmas andTrinityTerms.

Both provided an opportunity for the gathering of all Cosmographers as well as a meeting between tutors and undergraduates in a lighter vein. The annual dinner was not held this year because of poor attendances in previous years and a cocktail party was substituted. It is hoped that the society will continue to prosper under the new President, A. Barker and Secretary P. Spray.

HILARY TERM The Torpids were made an open event this yearwhich meant even Isis caps who did not wish to continue rowing for O.U.B.C. trials could row in the First Torpid. The Torpid was therefore very strong and was only hard pressed at all on the last night.

The Second Torpid went up two places and the Third Torpid who were Novice went down rather rapidly.

TRINITY TERM The Hall Summer VIII crew suffered in a slight degree from having five men in the Blue Boat and Isis crews which continued training throughout, the latter in theory anyway. The crew, which was more or less the Torpid crew, did not quite have the power to stay head.

On the second night they were bumped by Oriel who were fast at the start. The second night they rowed over and got within f length of Oriel at the end, however, on the third night a bad row brought them down to third position by Christ Church.

The 2nd VIII did well to only slip one place and the 3rd VIII to gain two places. The 4th VIII made 4 bumps, a very good effort; the 5th VIII slipped 2 places and the 6th VIII one place. The 7th VIII went up three places.

Drawn 6.

Lost 5.

WAS INEVITABLE that the weather should claim the greatest number of victims on the field this season, and of the 32 fixtures arranged only 19 were actually played. However a large intake of talented freshmen added to the existing nucleus of players to form a side of considerable strength.

The strength of the team lay in the batting, the runs being fairly evenly shared between A. D. Curtis, N. Dewar, P. H. Spray, A. H. Morgan and T. J. Machin, particularly the last who had a splendid season with the bat. Centuries were scored by Spray ·and Dewar and the team scored 2, 724 runs at an average of 143 each game.

A variety of bowlers rarely achieved great success although some outstanding figures include those by J. H. North, (5-9), R. Hiller (5-32), A. J. Pentecost (6-45), T. J. Machin (5-27) and N. Barak (4-16).

The fielding sadly could not match the high standard of the previous year and at times left much to be desired.

In the Cuppers competition the Hall were beaten in the first round

by Brasenose, one of the eventual finalists.

Colours were awarded to A. H. Morgan, P.H. Spray, N. Dewar, R. B. Begy, D . Charm.an and A. D. Curtis.

THE RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB Captain: R. J. BREWER Vice-Chairman: D. J. CHARMAN Secretary: J. W. HARTLEY

MICHAELMAS TERM THE FIRST MAT CH against Battersea College was lost, but it revealed some promising talent among the Freshmen. The rest of the term in the league was not particularly successful, 4 matches being won and 3 lost. We finished some way down the First League. Of the friendlies 2 were won, l was drawn and 6 were lost. The second XV won all their matches convincingly to finish head of their league.

HILARY TERM Prior to the beginning of term a tour of Belfast was undertaken.

Although the results were not very successful, the party enjoyed overwhelming hospitality. We lost our matches with Queen's University and Malone, drawing with North Wednesday.

During Cuppers the successful Hall team played very well, especially in the final. We won all five games convincingly, scoring 145 points, with only nine scored against us. Only two friendly matches were played during the term, owing to bad weather and cancellations. One game was lost heavily, and we drew with Culham College in a very hard game.

Colours were awarded to T. P. Bedford, J. H. Bunney, R. Deighton, J. M. Dennis, A. R. Heygate, C. Jones, C. J. C. Palmer, W. J. Rea, D. V. Rumbelow, P. H. Spray, and M. R. Tanner.

Officers for the season 1966-7 are: Captain, A. L. Bucknall, Hon. Sees., C. E. K. Booth and C. J. C. Palmer.

THE ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL CLUB Captain: D. F. BAXTER Secretary: D. M. MEREDITH a reasonably successful season. In the Michaelmas Term the League XI finished in second place in the First Division, losing one and drawing one of their seven fixtures.

The highlights of the League campaign were the victories over St. John's and Oriel by 5-1 and 3-1 respectively, while the 4-4 draw with Christ Church involved a recovery from half-time deficit of 3-r.

In the Hilary Term the Club comfortably retained the College Cuppers, beating Worcester 3-1 in the final. The colleges overcome in the earlier rounds were St. John's, Pembroke and Oriel. In the four games played in the competition, the Hall scored 12 goals and conceded only 2.

The results of the Saturday friendly games were on the whole disappointing, mainly because of the heavy demands made on the club by the University team and the Centaurs. Nevertheless stylish victories were achieved over Icarus and Fitzwilliam House, Cambridge, by 6-o and 6-2 respectively, and the 1-l draw with Christ's College, Cambridge was probably the most enjoyable friendly fixture of the season.

In the Michaelmas Term an almost full-strength Hall side succumbed drastically to a strong Old Aularians side, losing by 5-r.

Hall colours were awarded to the following: A. D. Curtis, ]. E. Davis, A. Brunskill, A. H. Morgan, C. Harding, N. J. C. Streatfield, B. E. Moulds,]. Jackson (2nd XI Captain),]. R. Taylor.

Officials elected for the season 1966-7 are: Captain, D. M. Meredith, Secretary, A. H. Morgan.

D.M.M. THE CLUB HAS ENJOYED

THE HOCKEY CLUB Captain: A. L. BoND Secretary: T.]. MACHIN THE HOCKEY CLUB, having just been relegated to Division II, looked on the new season with a certain amount of trepidation, and were relieved to see the arrival of some talented freshmen. The playing record of the season speaks for itself-played 23; Won 17; drew 3; lost 3. Unfortunately however one of the few poor games was against Corpus in the Cuppers semi-final where failure to attack resulted in our elimination. This was a great disappointment, as

52

only recently the side had beaten Southampton University-the U.A. U. finalists-and also a strong Puritans side.

Some compensation was achieved in the Hilary Term when the team won the League Division II and earned promotion. This was a particularly pleasing performance since the side was weakened by the absence of several Dip. Ed. men.

Officials for next season are: Captain, T. ]. Machin; Secretary, S.]. Manners.

T.J.M. THE ATHLETIC CLUB President: P. W. LIVERSEDGE Secretary: D. A. PERRY THE PRESENT SEASON has been a most successful one for the club. Michaelmas Term saw the arrival of several extremely talented freshmen and this was evident as the Hall retained the inter-college Relays Cup, depriving Wadham of their half share, and creditable performances were recorded in the Fields Event competition. Our disappointment in slipping to second place in cross-country Cuppers was soon abated when Tim Jones was selected for the match against Cambridge.

In the summer term the Hall team set out to retain Cuppers. So many individuals excelled themselves that it would be unfair to single anyone out, but suffice it to say that a very strong St. Catherine' s College team was beaten by half as many points as in the previous year, rort to 100-at the seventh recount, that is. The support shown throughout the year was enthusiastic, and it is to be hoped that, if continued next year, the Hall will again dominate Inter-Collegiate athletics.

Hall colours were awarded to ]. N. Barry, A. L. Bucknall, R . D. H. Bursell, ]. E. Chamberlin, M. ]. Clarke, ]. Macintyre, D. A. Perry, B. G. Potter, W.]. Rea, F. M. Waldron.

D .A.P.

THE SQUASH RACKETS CLUB Captain: R. DOLMAN Secretary: K. ST.]. WrsEMAN THE TWO St. Edmund Hall squash teams played a large number of friendly matches over the season, with a considerable degree of success. In addition to inter-College games, matches were played both in London and Cambridge.

In competitive games the first V finished second in the first division of the League, and reached the Final of Cuppers, losing only to a very strong University College side.

K.St.J.W. 53

THE BADMINTON CLUB Captain and Secretary: N. J. BoYLETT THIS YEAR TWO TEAMS were entered in the League. The ISt team, unfortunate in gaining only 3 draws from 5 matches, was relegated with Keble to Division Two. The 2nd team however maintained our prestige by easily heading Division Five. For the second successive year we were beaten 3-1 by St. John's in the quarter-final of Cuppers.

In Michaelmas Term a most enjoyable fixture was arranged at Cambridge between a combined St. Edmund Hall/O.U. Ladies Badminton side and a combined Trinity (Cambridge)/C.U. Ladies Badminton side. No record of the result was kept-the difference between them and us was not easily measurable !

Officers for 1966-7 are : Captain, M. J. Boylett; Secretary, S.K. Osborne.

M.J.B.

THE HILARIANS DURING THE SEASON 1965-6 seventeen games were played of which eight were won, four were lost, and five were drawn. Of the drawn games the most spectacular was that against Downing Squirts, the final score being decreed as 46 all-the game finishing with two tries being scored at opposite ends ... simultaneously.

In these and like festivities S.E.H. Hilarians have manifested themselves and an equally successful season is anticipated.

Officers elected are: President, ]. H. Bunney; Secretary,]. G. Barclay.

M.P.K-B.

THE SADDLE CLUB EARLY IN THE Michaelmas Term the stable run by Miss Halliday at Hinksey were approached with a view to accommodation at favourable financial terms of a St. Edmund Hall Riding Club and the outcome was the Saddle Club. This has been recognised as one of theAmalgamated Clubs and has become a popular club for equestrian Aularians.

The inspiration of the Club came from J. F. Mew who has been the Founder-Captain, while the Dean accepted the coveted post of Master of the Horse. The Michaelmas Term was spent mainly in training beginners, who provide the majority of the members, while the two subsequent terms have been spent hacking across the countryside in the Boars Hill vicinity. This has provided considerable 54

pleasure in very attractive country, and Miss Halliday has been a most excellent coach and guide.

It is to be hoped that the Club will continue to flourish with an influx of active freshmen next year. It is stressed that skilled tuition for beginners is provided and the Club is not confined to experts.

At five shillings an hour, on battels, this is a great opportunity to take part in what is usually an expensive sport. Members are under no obligation to ride on any specific day, so that the rides are arranged to suit members. Beginners may take heart from the fact that most of this year's members had never been across a horse before, and have rapidly become competent horsemen.

On the social level the club made a modest start, holding a very successful party at the end of the Trinity Term.

Next year's Captain will be A. Bennett.

I have examined the books and vouchers of the Saint Edmund Hall Association for the year ended 30 April 1966. In my opinion the above Balance Sheet and annexed Income and Expenditure Accowit give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Association and of the excess of expenditure over income for the year ended that date.
