EDITOR 1966-7: S. J. GATRELL

DE PERSONIS ET REBUS AULARIBUS THE PRINCIPAL DR. KELLY'S RECOVERY was held back by a second, more vicious attack of hepatitis in November, and he did not finally emerge from hospital until the end ofJanuary. He resided in his Lodgings throughout the remainder of Hilary Term, gradually taking up his duties again, and was fully back at work in Trinity Term. He has been appointed Chairman of the Curators of the Sheldonian Theatre and a Delegate of the Department of Education. At the request of the Archbishop of Canterbury he has joined the Theological SubComn1ission of the World Council of Churches and the Roman Catholic Church, and in that capacity took part in a theological conference at Nemi, near Rome, early in May. He is one of the three Anglican members of the Academic Council of the Ecumenical Institute for Advanced Theological Study which Pope Paul VI is founding near Bethlehem in commemoration of his visit to the Holy Land.

THE FELLOWS DR. R. FARGHER has examined for the Honour School of Modern Languages and Literature; he will be on sabbatical leave for 1967-68. Mr. C. F. W. R. Gullick has been appointed Acting Professor of Geography for 1967-68, pending the arrival of the new holder of the chair. The Revd. E. G. Midgley was chairman of the B.Phil. Examination in Modern English Studies. He preached the annual sermon before the University on the Sin of Pride, preached at Wellington College and Eton College, and commanded yet l

another Oxford-Borstal camp in the Long vacation. Dr. D. C. M. Yardley has ceased to be chairman of the Senior Treasurers' Committee, and at the end of Trinity Term finished a 4-year term of service on the Board of the Faculty ofJurisprudence. Last September he gave a paper at a symposium organized by the Society for the Study of Addiction at the London Hospital Medical College, and in December took part in a Law Commission seminar on Administrative Law at All Souls. In April he read a paper on Administrative Law at a colloquium in Paris organised by the Institut Franc;:ais du RoyaumeUni and the Societe de Legislation Comparee. In October, 1966, he was elected a City Councillor till May, 1969, by the Heads and Bursars of Colleges, being the last person to be so elected by this now obsolete process. Mr. R. E. Alton has been one of the Hall's two representatives on the Conference of Colleges; he was this year appointed to the standing committee. In June he played cricket for the 'Incogniti' against the British armed services on Malta G.C. Dr. R. B. Mitchell spent 1966-67 as Visiting Professor in the Department of English at Brown University, Providence, R.I., U.S.A. While there, he represented the Vice-Chancellor at the Inauguration of President Ray L. Heffner and delivered the Graduate School Convocation Address at the l99th Annual Commencement. He addressed the 1966 Fall Institute of the Greater Philadelphia Council of Teachers of English and the 1967 Spring Conference of the New England College English Association, lectured and conducted a seminar at the Centre for Medie.val Studies in the University of Toronto in February, 1967, and gave the Frederic J. Whiton Lecture at Cornell University in May. He also lectured at universities or colleges in Boston, Cincinnati and Philadelphia, and attended a short I.B.M. Computer Course for Humanities. He returned to Oxford by way of his native Australia, where he was invited to lecture at various universities, including the Australian National University in Canberra, as a scholar of which he first came to Oxford in 1952. The Revd. H. E. J. Cowdrey has served as Moderator for the Preliminary Examination in Modern History. Dr. J. D. Todd has been co-opted as a member of the Board of the Faculty of Physical Sciences for two more years; he has been on sabbatical leave, engaged on a book.

Rossotti has examined for the Honour Schools of Chemistry and of Metallurgy. Dr. D. I. Scargill has examined for the Honour School of Geography. Dr. J. W. Christian has been promoted to an ad hominem Professorship of Metallurgy; he has examined for the Preliminary Examination in Chemistry and Metallurgy. Dr. W. S. C. Williams will spend 2

1967-68 on sabbatical leave at Stanford University, California, working on the Stanford Linear Accelerator Project. Mr. J. Hackney gave a talk on admissions at Gravesend School in July. Mr. A. I. Marsh has been assisting the Prices and Incomes Board, and has paid a number of visits to Gibraltar at the request of the Government to advise it on the wages structure there. Dr. R. Oxburgh was on the Royal Research Vessel Discovery in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden during February and March, carrying out geophysical observations and testing the hypothesis that Africa and Asia are slowly drifting apart.

He attended the Annual Convention of the American Geophysical Union in Washington, D.C., in April, and gave two papers there on convection in the earth's interior. Professor Hirsch has examined for the Preliminary Examination in Chemistry and Metallurgy. Mr. J.B. Knight has spent the summer based on the Institute for Social Research, Lusaka, studying the wages structure of Zambia. Mr. 0.

Murray has examined for the Preliminary Examination in Classical Languages.

HONORARY AND EMERITUS FELLOWSHIPS IN MICHAELMAS TERM, 1966, the Governing Body elected William Hume-Rothery, D.Sc., F.R.S., Isaac Wolfson Professor of Metallurgy and Professorial Fellow of the Hall from 1957 to 1967, to an Honorary Fellowship, and Harry George (Roger) Barnes, M.A., Lecturer in German for many years and Fellow since 1957, to an Emeritus Fellowship.

FELLOWSHIPS IN ECONOMICS of 1966 the Hall, to its great regret, lost the services of Mr. R. G. Smethurst, who was appointed Fellow and Tutor in Economics in 1965. AW orcester man, he received an invitation to return to his old College, and after some searching of heart decided to accept it. As his successor the Governing Body has elected John Beverley Knight, a graduate of Natal and Cambridge who has been Assistant Research Officer at the Oxford University Institute of Economics and Statistics since 1962 and Lecturer in Economics at Wadham College since 1965. He is currently doing research into manpower in African economic development, and his monograph, The Costing and Financing ofEducational Development in Tanzania, was published in Paris last year under the auspices of the International Institute for Educational Planning. Mr. Knight was admitted to his Fellowship at the commencement of Trinity Term, and the Magazine extends to him a warm welcome to the Hall.

AT THE END

RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS THE MAGAZINE congratulates Mr. Oswyn Murray on his appointment as Senior Research Fellow of the Warburg Institute from lst October. Mr. Murray has held the St. Edmund Junior Fellowship since I962 while engaged in research into conceptions of rulership in the early Roman empire, and in addition has proved an efficient and successful Ancient History tutor both at the Hall and at Hertford College, where he has been Lecturer. It will be recalled that last year he became a member of the Governing Body. The Hall is sorry to lose him, but wishes him every success in the next stage of his career; and it is gratifying to know that he will continue to live in O xford.

As a further token of its desire to foster metallurgical studies at Oxford, the Armourers and Brasiers' Company, which already provides the Hall with a valuable annual grant to finance scholarships and exhibitions, has generously decided to endow a Commonwealth Research Fellowship in Metallurgy at Oxford, to be tenable at the Hall and open to graduate students from any Commonwealth country. With the agreement of the Company and the assessor nominated by it, the College has elected Peter Stewart Turner, B.Sc., an Australian by birth and a graduate of Melbourne University, where he has also been engaged in research for the Ph.D. degree. Mr. Turner has been concerned with the Cowley-Moodie theory of electronic diffraction and experimental tests and applications of it, and is the joint-author of several learned papers on the subject. A married man, he takes up residence in Michaelmas Term.

IN MEMORIAM WITH THE DEATH on I9th July of the Revd. Frederick John Shirley, D.D., Ph.D. (Lond.), Residentiary Canon of Canterbury Cathedral since I935 and latterly Treasurer, Headmaster of The King's School, Canterbury, from I935 to 1962, the Hall has lost one of the three distinguished old members who have so far attained the rank of Honorary Fellows. Born of humble parentage in Oxford in I 890, he attended the City of Oxford School and read Modern History at the Hall l909-I912, subsequently holding a commission in the Navy in the First War and being called to the Bar (Lincoln's Inn). Always a man of wide reading and scholarly interests, he obtained his London Ph.D. in 193 I with a thesis on Richard Hooker, and many years later his researches found expression in his book Richard Hooker and Contemporary Political Ideas. It was as a schoolmaster, however, that he revealed his true flair, and the talents which were already evident when he was headmaster of Worksop College 4

from 1925 to 1935 came to full flower during his long reign at King's.

He brought to his task enormous energy, a quite astonishing business acumen, and an enviable gift for getting the best out of his staff and his boys. With his strongly personal methods of running a school and his unique skill at charming benefactions out of the most unlikely donors, he was speedily able to transform what had been a run down and almost bankrupt establishment into one of the largest and most successful schools in England, with a dazzling academic record and an unrivalled reputation for music, drama and sport, and to equip it with a capital endowment and buildings to match. Completely unconventional in ideas and manner and impatient of 'establishment' ways, he was adored by his boys, and in return gave himself singlemindedly to them. He lived up to the description often given of him as the most remarkable headmaster of his time.

The Magazine records with regret the death on 8th April of Harry George (Roger) Barnes, M.A., Senior University Lecturer in German and successively Lecturer (1938-57) and Fellow (1957-66) in German of the Hall. Born on 3oth April, 1905, Barnes was educated at Peter Symonds' School, Winchester, went up to Magdalen College as a Demy in Modern Subjects, and after taking his degree in German was elected to a Laming Fellowship at Queen's. He subsequently studied at Berlin and Bonn, was English Lektor at Ti.ibingen (where he became a Roman Catholic) from 1930 to 1933, passed the Ti.ibingen Ph.D. examination with a thesis on Byron in German, and served as Assistant Lecturer at Swansea and then Birmingham 1933-38. As sub-editor in the German Region of the B.B.C. European Service from 1941 to 1945, he had a special programme for German-speaking Catholics. He was the author of various articles on l8th and l9th century literature, and had been working for many years on Goethe's Die Wahlverwandtschaften, a Literary Interpretation, but heavy teaching and lecturing commitments, and later prolonged illness, prevented him from carrying out other plans for publication.

At the Hall many generations of modern linguists found him a thorough, exacting and patient tutor whose integrity, kindliness and quizzical sense of humour never failed to inspire affection in his pupils. Owing to ill-health he resigned his Fellowship in 1966, and was elected to an Emeritus Fellowship in Michaelmas Term. A requiem was said for him at the Roman Catholic Chaplaincy on 4th May at which the Dean (Revd. E. G. Midgley) read the epistle; and a memorial service, conducted by the Chaplain and the Roman Catholic Chaplain to the University and attended by the ViceChancellor and Proctors, was held in the Hall Chapel on l3th May. The Magazine also regrets the death on l 3th May of the Ven. Harry Patrick Saunders, Rector of Gawsworth and Archdeacon of 5

Macclesfield. Born in 1913, he was a graduate both of King's College, London, and of St. Catherine' s Society, and was associated with the Hall as Assistant Chaplain from 1936 to 1946, when he was successively Chaplain and Vice-Principal of St. Stephen's House, Oxford.

After leaving Oxford he worked for the rest of his life (except for a brief spell as Principal of Ely Theological College and Canon of Ely) as a parish priest, revealing remarkable pastoral gifts. At the same time he kept up his scholarly studies, lecturing at Queen's College, Birmingham, and, as Archdeacon of Macclesfield, supervising ordinands. Urbane and kindly, businesslike and wiaffectedly sincere in his faith, he had an enormous circle of friends, many of them Aularians, who will greatly miss him.

LARS HANSON THE MANY FRIENDS of L. W. Hanson, late Keeper of Printed Books in the Bodleian Library and for many years Hon. Secretary of the Aularian Association, may care to know that a six-page 'Appreciation of Lars Hanson', from the pen of Herbert Davis, appeared in autumn, 1966, in The Book Collector and was subsequently reprinted, while The Bodleian Library Record, Vol. VII, No. 6 (Feb. 1967), contains two tributes, by Dr. J. N. L. Myres and Dr. William Beattie respectively. Written from a professional angle, all three testify to Hanson' s outstanding expertise as a bibliographer and librarian, as well as to his personal qualities as a friend.

COLLEGE OFFICERS ALTHOUGH THERE is still a year of his term outstanding, Dr. Fargher has decided to resign from being Vice-Principal in view of the fact that he will be on sabbatical leave for the year 1967-68. In his place the Governing Body has elected Mr. C. W. F. R :¡Gullick, who will hold the office for four years. To succeed him as Senior Tutor (a position which Mr. Gullick has occupied with distinction continuously since 1950) the Governing Body has appointed Mr. J. C. B. Gosling, Fellow and Tutor in Philosophy. Dr. D. I. Scargill, Fellow and Tutor in Geography, has been appointed Dean of Degrees, and Dr. M. S. Child, Fellow and Tutor in Chemistry, Secretary of the Governing Body. In the absence of Dr. Oxburgh on sabbatical leave, Dr. J. M. Todd, Fellow and Tutor in Engineering, has been appointed Tutor for Admissions for the year 1967-68. In addition, in view of the increase in the number of graduate students and the need to maintain liaison with them, the new office of Tutor for Graduates has been created, its first holder being Mr. K. H. Segar, Fellow and Tutor in German.

B.E.A. STUDENTSHIP

BY ARRANGEMENT with British European Airways and in conjunction with the company's scheme for research awards, the College has been enabled to offer either a major or a minor research studentship in personnel relations to run from the beginning of Michaelmas Term 1967 or such earlier date in September as might be convenient. The plan is that the successful candidate should undertake research into agreed aspects of industrial relations within British European Airways, and while spending a considerable part of his time working with the company should fulfil the necessary residential qualifications for a higher degree at Oxford. This new move marks an extension of the interest which the Hall showed in this important field by its appointment of Mr. Arthur Marsh to a Senior Research Fellowship in Industrial Relations in 1964, and indeed owes much to his initiative. Although the studentship was only advertised in May, a large number of applications were received, and the Governing Body has elected Mr. Richard Lindsey Coates, Open Exhibitioner ofJesus College, who will come into residenceiin Michaelmas Term.

A SCHOOLS RECORD Hall men entered for Final Honour Schools, and of these IO obtained Firsts, 73 Seconds, and 22 Thirds; one man (who had suffered a close bereavement on the eve of the examination and had missed some papers) was awarded a Pass, and there were no Fourths or failures. However regarded, this was a highly creditable performance, and without precedent in the Hall's history. It places the Hall gratifyingly high on the inter-collegiate examination league table, on which according to the generally accepted 'Norrington system' (which calculates position on a points basis and on the ratio of points obtained to the total number of candidates entered) it now stands seventh, being surpassed only by Balliol, Corpus, Magdalen, Somerville, Jesus and Merton (equal) in that order.

THIS SUMMER 106

SCHOLARLY PROMOTIONS of recognizing and encouraging academic excellence, the Governing Body from time to time elects undergraduates or promotes award-holders. Thus in 1965-66 an Exhibitioner, A. J. Fawke (Engineering), and a commoner, R. M. Sherratt (Medicine), were elected to Scholarships, while L. G. Mortimer (Theology) was elected to a Liddon Exhibition. N. McN. Jackson and J. Proctor, who had obtained Firsts in Schools and were con-

tinuing in residence, were made Honorary Scholars. In 1966-67 D. G. Heap, Central Electricity Generating Board Exhibitioner in Physics, has been advanced to the rank of Scholar, while two commoners, C. E. Barraclough (Metallurgy) and J. P. Platt (Geology) have been elected to Exhibitions (the former, with the consent of the Company, to an Armourers and Brasiers' Company Exhibition).

PRIZES IN JURISPRUDENCE prescribed for the Francis Bennion Prizes for Michaelmas Term 1966 was 'Executive Discretion and Judicial Control'.

The first prize was awarded to S. T. Bailey, and the second to M. F. Rutter.

THE SUBJECT

PRESIDENT OF THE UNION in Trinity Term of R. V. Jackson as President of the Union Society brings especial satisfaction to the Hall. He is only the second Aularian to hold this office in the Hall's history, the first being Mr. Robin Day (matric. 1947) in 1950. An Open Scholar, Mr. Jackson also deserves congratulation on being awarded an H. W. C .

Davis Prize for History in Michaelmas Term. It is pleasant to record that he went to school at Falcon College, Rhodesia, of which the Headmaster is another Aularian, Mr. D. E. Turner (matric. 1946).

THE ELECTION

TRAVEL GRANTS is once again indebted to the St. Edmund Hall Association for a gift of £60 to supplement the income of the Graham Hamilton Travel Fund, which has now crept up to about £57 p.a.

As a result grants of between £I 5 and £20 were made in Trinity Term to the following undergraduates to help them to finance trips to be undertaken in the Long Vacation: H. Forbes-Simpson (expedition to Eastern Europe); C. T. W. Humfrey and D. P. Turner (camping expedition to Turkey); D. J. Saunders (camping expedition to Russia and Turkey); A. J. Terry (journey to Anatolia to study rugmaking) ; J. C. Tresadern (ecological survey of oil effects on the coasts of Cornwall and Brittany).

THE HALL

A SISTERLY ALLIANCE traditional Oxford colleges have for several decades had reciprocal arrangements with Cambridge colleges providing for various amenities such as the exchange of hospitality and common room rights, occasional meetings for social contact and the discussion MOST OF THE

8

of common problems, the reception of graduates of either society taking up residence in the other university, and appropriate undergraduate liaison. So long as the Hall was still an unincorporated society, it was not in a position to embark on such a relationship, and as the colleges at Cambridge are in any case more numerous, all the older ones were long ago booked. In 1966, however, Fitzwilliam House (as it was then called) was granted a charter and became a full college of Cambridge University, and thus an admirable opportunity has presented itself of which the Hall has been quick to take advantage. The approaches which it has made to Fitzwilliam College have received a welcoming response, and the Magazine is delighted to learn that last year an alliance was inaugurated with the unanimous approval of both parties. As the first formal expression of it two members of the Governing Body, the Vice-Principal (Dr. Fargher) and Mr. J.C. B. Gosling, attended on lrthJanuary, at the invitation of the Master and Fellows, a sumptuous banquet at Fitzwilliam College held to celebrate the recognition of its collegiate status. In return the Master and one of the Fellows have been invited to dine at the Hall on St. Edmund' s Day this year. On the strictly academic level the first token of the practical working of the alliance has been the admission to the Hall in Michaelmas Term this year of two graduates of Fitzwilliam as advanced students in Metallurgy and Theology.

THE NEW BUILDINGS of writing (July) work on the new buildings was making steady and encouraging progress. During the winter certain essential, if unspectacular, preparatory tasks were accomplished, including the driving in of 96 concrete piles, each 36 feet in length, and the careful underpinning of the east perimeter walls. Early in the year tenders were received and a contract offered to Norman Collisson (Constructors) Ltd., ofBicester, the firm responsible for the new Brasenose building and the Somerville graduate block. The builders moved in at the beginning of Trinity Term, and at once began working on the massive and complex foundations of the great dining hall block and the equally intricate foundations of the east residential range. Throughout the summer gawky limbed mechanical diggers and powerful yellow chain grabs, with attendant lorries, dominated the site, and in July an entirely new concrete-pourer, of German design, squeezing it contents obscenely through a length of flexible piping, was used on it for the first time in Britain. The builders have promised that the building will be complete in time for the opening of Michaelmas Term, 1968. The Magazine hopes that this report of

AT THE TIME

9

energetic activity will stimulate the thousands of Aularians who have so far held back from contributing to the cost (there is still a gap of approx. ÂŁ roo,ooo to be made up, and every donation, however small, helps) to complete the deeds of covenant over which they have hesitated for so long. If they have mislaid the forms, application to the Principal or the Bursar will immediately secure a replacement.

ST. PETER'S-IN-THE-EAST for the conversion of St. Peter's-in-the-East into a library and of the churchyard into a garden is beginning to move ahead. The formal transfer of the building to the custody of the Hall is complete, and the faculties for the churchyard have been granted; the further faculties for the alterations to be carried out inside the church are, at the moment of writing, in the last stage of negotiation.

The conversion will involve re-flooring the church and putting in completely new systems oflighting and heating, as well as equipping it with bookcases and desks and toilet facilities; and the plans include cutting off the chancel with a glass screen. A necessary preliminary, however, will be an extensive amount of repair work on the structure itself, and this will prove an expensive exercise. In Trinity Term and the long vacation, however, the first steps were taken towards the transformation of the churchyard. The Dean and certain younger Fellows and Lecturers, assisted by a gang of undergraduate volunteers, have been busily employed clearing the walls of unsightly creepers, hacking down and burning obstructive elder trees, and digging up large numbers of tombstones scheduled for removal (an accurate chart of their original position having been prepared in advance). Warm thanks are due to all who took part in these tasks, in particular perhaps to two energetic and enthusiastic Americans, Mike Sanderson and Tom Mulvey, for as a result of their labours the Hall has undoubtedly been saved a great deal of money. Designs are now being prepared for landscaping the churchyard as an informal garden and for re-drawing the paths so as to communicate directly with the main quadrangle.

THE OPERATION

GIFTS of the Hall are due to the following for gifts they have generously made:

THE BEST THANKS

Dr. J. K. Chadwick-Jones (matric. 1948) for ÂŁro to purchase books in memory of his friend, the late Stanley Richardson (matric.

1942).

IO

Mr. Herbert Cook, son of the old member H. F. Cook (matric.

I9J2), for a solid silver tankard which his father won as a young man and would like to continue to be used at the Hall.

Dr. A. B. Emden for an Ackermann print of St. Peter' s-in-the-East.

Miss H. E. Fiedler for IO German books from the collection of her father, the late Professor Fiedler.

Mr. Percy James for a wooden gavel bought in Lloret de Mar, Spain. · Mr. L. Knappen for donating $I,ooo to the New Buildings Fund in memory of his brother, the late Professor M. M. Knappen (matric.

I92I).

Dr. C. Newman, M.D. (Cantab.), F.R.C.P., Harveian Librarian of the Royal College of Physicians and temporarily resident at the Hall in I9I8, for 3 volumes of Principal Moore's Studies in Dante, once the property ofDr. Moore's close friend, Canon A. S. Farrar, of Durham, along with some holograph letters by Dr. Moore.

The late Revd. H. W. Palmer (matric. I924) for a legacy of Rand 200 'to be used to assist an undergraduate intending to take holy orders in the Church of England at the discretion of the Principal'.

The Revd. H. Palmer (matric. I9I9), brother of the above, for £50 to supplement his brother's gift and to be used at the discretion of the Principal.

Mr. V. Ridler (Professorial Fellow), Printer to the University, for 35 volumes for the Hall Library.

The St. Edmund Hall Association for various gifts (a silver inscribed steeple cup to commemorate the double success at Henley in I965; £200 for the Scholarship Fund; £60 to supplement the Graham Hamilton Travel Fund; £60 to be used at the Principal's discretion towards the expenses of regattas and sporting tours).

Dr. R. T. C. Worsley, D.S.C. (matric. 1939), for further consignments of books for the A. B. Emden Collection he has presented to the Hall Library.

AN ECUMENICAL EVENT ON THURSDAY nth May, at 6.45 p.m., mass according to the Latin rite was said in the Hall Chapel for the first time, the celebrant being Fr. Michael Hollings, the Roman Catholic Chaplain to the University. The initiative came from J. R. Clarembeaux, who on behalf of the many Roman Catholics at present belonging to the Hall expressed the hope that, in view of the friendlier relations prevailing today between Christians of different allegiances, a Roman Catholic mass might be celebrated somewhere in the Hall, and after discussion it was agreed, with the consent of the Governing Body,

II

that the Chapel was the most appropriate place. The celebrant adopted a position facing the people, the epistle and parts of the proper were read by J. R. Clarembeaux, and most of the service was in the vernacular; the vestments, vessels, etc. were those used for the daily eucharist. The College evensong followed immediately, and was attended by many members of the large congregation.

INVOLVEMENT IN 'ACCIDENT' KEEN-EYED CONNOISSEURS of the art of the cinema will have noticed that parts of the film 'Accident', directed with his usual distinction by Joseph Losey and released in Oxford in March this year, were shot in the H all. The setting is a college in present-day Oxford, and the screen-play by Harold Pinter traces to its tragic climax a complex affair involving two dons and their wives, and an undergraduate and his girl friend. There are noteworthy performances

by Vivien Merchant, Dirk Bogarde and Stanley Baker. Several colleges were invited to cooperate, and the Hall was one of those which accepted. As a result for one long day in July, 1966, the quadrangle was transformed into a film-studio by an army of lighting technicians, camera-men and assistants, while pictures were taken of 'dons' taking coffee and gossiping in the Senior Common Room.

A still of one of these is reproduced in this issue.

OFFICERS OF THE J.C.R. THE OFFICERS elected at the end of Hilary Term 1967 to hold office until the end of Hilary T erm 1968, were: President: G. H. Turner. Steward: D ./A. Hopkins. Treasurer: P. G. A. Montgomery.

THE SUMMER DANCE the Summer Dance was held in the front Quadrangle, and with the whole of the lawn floored and roofed with a great marquee, the well transformed into a splendid mountain of flowers, even more couples than ever gathered to make this one of our most enjoyable dances. The noise was provided by the Ronnie Jones Sextet, the Fenmen, a Steel Band and that favourite group of local talent, the Pooh, and echoed long and extremely loud through the perfect summer evening. John Lee Hooker sang to give the dancers the necessary rest and various cabaret turns throughout the evening reduced the dangers of total exhaustion. The decorations of Hall and Emden Room and Junior Common Room had an Arthurian theme this year, with stained glass windows, tapestries and armorial impedimenta. The Emden Room especially, with its kinky lining of shiny black polythene, was impressive, and there a discotheque functioned throughout the night. In the Hall the Manciple and his staff provided a buffet of truly heroic proportions and delicate quality.

It was long after the advertised time that the party ended. The dawn had passed and it was full daylight before the tired but gallant Pooh played their last number, the last flowers had been taken from the well, and the floor was left once again for the rude m echanicals to take away.

The Magazine would like to thank Mr. Simon Gatrell and his Colll:mittee for planning, and seeing through, yet another splendid evenmg.

Mr. J. B. Allan took the chair at dinner and voiced everyone's great regret that the President, Charles Broadhead, was still convalescing from a serious heart operation and could not be present.

Also deeply regretted was the absence of the Principal, still in hospital from his attack of jaundice but now thankfully on his way to full health again. Everyone had looked forward to welcoming the first Aularian V.C. to the dinner, but this, alas, was not to be. Illness had B

17

also struck the Secretary, Geoffrey Brain, and to all these absent members the Chairman promised to send the company's best wishes.

He welcomed first among those who had managed to attend, Dr. Emden who, despite the rigours of a January day and the hardships of wild-flower gathering in field, fen and refuse dump, still appeared full of energy and fitness. He welcomed the Fellows of the Hall present and read a message of greeting from G. Wilson Knight, Honorary Fellow. Reviewing the year's progress in building operations and other achievements, he could not forget that this was the first year in which the Hall, thanks to a printer's error in the Twickenham programme, had a man playing for Cambridge !

Dr. Fargher, Vice-Principal and acting Principal, responded to the toast of 'floreat Aula'. He gave news of the Principal's return to health and read a message from him regretting his first absence from a London Dinner since 1935. He welcomed Dr. Emden, recently created Clerk of the Market by the Principal in his short tenure of the Vice-Chancellorship. He looked forward to him smashing undersized wine-barrels and presenting the contents of undersized coalbags to the poor-perhaps to the Dean! He reported on the year's activities in Schools and in the field, and gave the latest information on the buildings and the St. Peter-in-the-East negotiations, renewing the Hall's appeal to all those well-wishing but slow-acting old Aularians to sign covenants and bridge the ÂŁ 100,000 gap still to be closed. He ended by asking the meeting's indulgence for this innings by the Second Team, and hoped the First Team would bat again next year.

Dr. Emden was forced to his feet and expressed his delight at being back at the dinner after so many years. He detailed his curious experiences at his hotel before dim1er, and the company suspected that on his return after dining and wining these might be even more surprising!

The lower regions received us once again and talk was fast and furious until the hour which , on these occasions, always seems to come too soon.

The Executive Committee met at 3.30 p.m. in the Principal's Lodgings and discussed agenda for the A.G.M. to be held before the London Dinner in January 1968. Evensong was held in Chapel and the weather was once again fair enough for the large company to take sherry on the lawn before dinner.

We were glad to have the Principal again with us and to all appearances fully restored to health, although the glass that cheers is still denied to him. It was also good to see Charles Broadhead again in his seat as President, after the recent illness which denied us his company at the London Dinner. The Principal proposed the toast of 'Floreat Aula', and reviewed the year which had ended, giving some account of our achievements in Schools, sports and building.

Charles Broadhead responded, and especially welcomed Dr. Emden to the dinner, congratulating him on the heartiness of his looks and the highness of his spirits.

A SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP ON THE 14 APRIL, 1967, in an apartment in New York, there was held the very first American Aularian Reunion. Mr. and Mrs. Tommy Hindle acted as hosts, opening their apartment to us and providing a most sumptuous buffet and array of drinks. The Dean was in New York and the Junior Dean, Dr. Mitchell, came down from Providence, where he was on sabbatical leave. Fourteen Aularians came, some from afar by train and air, and for an evening we enjoyed, in the heart of this savage and beautiful city, the authentic atmosphere of a Hall reunion, the pleasures of meeting again, remembering and talking. The Dean spoke about the present state of the new buildings and the position of the New Building Fund, and it was agreed that some special effort should be made by American Aularians as a group to do something to close the ÂŁ rno,ooo gap. A Committee was formed and methods discussed. There has since been much activity-a cocktail partyin G. N. T. Widdrington'sapartment and a further meeting in the Delegates' Lounge of the United Nations Building, where progress was discussed and plans for the future were made.

Any Aularian resident in America who is interested in these activities and has not already been contacted by the Committee in New York, should get in touch with V. M. W. Sotirovitch, Apt. 13F., 431 East 2oth Street, New York, N.Y.

OBITUARIES Thomas Ramsey Beatty, O.B.E., B.A., who entered the Hall in 19II, was born in I894 and died at his home in Cornwall in May I967. The son of a naval schoolmaster, he himself joined the Royal Navy and made his career in it. Having served as a cadet in H.M.S. High.flyer and then for a time as a navigator, he specialized in meteorology and became Deputy Head of the Met. Office during the last war. He retired with the rank of Captain in 1948, and till I955 held a post in the Foreign Office in London. Gardening and sailing were his hobbies, and he was for several years a member of the Executive Committee of the Aularian Association.

The Revd. Marcus Fitzgerald Grain Donovan, M.A., who entered the Hall in I906 and read Theology, died at Teddington, Middlesex, on 3I January I967, aged 80. An indefatigable parish priest and a preacher much in demand, he was Vicar successively of St. Benet, Fink (I917-27), St. Agnes, Kennington Park (I927-45), and Benhilton (1945-6I). He published several useful volumes of sermon outlines, and was widely known as an active Christian Socialist; he took pleasure in his latter years in noting that points which had featured in the programmes of the early Christian Socialists were being embodied in legislation. Characteristically, he was still actively engaged in pastoral work when he died.

The Ven. Frederick William Mountgarret Hamerton, M.A., who entered the Hall in I892, died in August I966, at the age of 94.

4I

Ordained in Rochester Cathedral, he spent the earlier and middle years of his ministry in India, holding various chaplaincies, being Garrison Chaplain at Bombay 1917-18, and later Archdeacon of Bombay and Bishop's Commissary for Bombay. On returning to England in 1928, he was appointed Rector of Stanwick and remained there until 1943, when he retired to Banham, Norwich.

The Revd. Sidney James Handover, M.A., Commoner of the Hall 1907-rr, died on 12 May 1966, aged 88. After serving in New Zealand 1904-7, he worked in Oxford 1907-21 (including his time as an undergraduate at the Hall), being assistant curate of St. Frideswide's, St. Paul's and Cowley St. John, and also holding chaplaincies at Magdalen College (191 2-21) and Christ Church (1914-21); he was Fellow of Magdalen 1918-2r. For the remainder of his active ministry (1921-52) he was Rector oflron Acton, Bristol.

Leslie Newman Harvey, M.A., died in Maidstone Hospital on 3 May 1967, at the age of 63. A former pupil of King Edward VI School, Southampton, he entered the Hall in 1922 to read Modern

Languages. While still at school, where he captained the cricket and football teams, he played, as an amateur, for Southampton Football Club. He played in Freshers' and Seniors' Trials in both games, and in 1924 was elected to the Centaurs. He played cricket and tennis for the Hall, and was captain of the Football Club in 1925. He was elected an Honorary Exhibitioner of the Hall on obtaining a Heath Harrison Travelling Scholarship in 1924. After obtaining a Third in Schools, he taught for a year at Woodbridge School, and in 1927 joined the staff of Sutton Valence, where he became Head of the Modern Languages Department. His sporting activities were continued both in coaching at school and in playing for local teams, but his greatest work was the complete reorganization of the School Library, a task which fitted well with his wide range of interest in the arts. He is remembered for his clear thinking and dry humour by many who were helped by his thorough and meticulous teaching to obtain places or scholarships to the University. He leaves a widow, a son and a daughter.

William Hope ('Tommy') Hindle, B.A., who entered the Hall in 1921 and obtained a First in French in 1924, died in New York after a long illness on 31 May 1967, aged 63. After going down from

Oxford he attended the Sorbonne, and then took up journalism, working for a time as an editorial writer for The Yorkshire Post and from 1927 to 1933 for The Times. Later he was literary editor of The Evening Standard, editor of The Review of Reviews, and editor of The English Review. In 1938 he switched to the Diplomatic Service, serving for a year in Prague and being appointed Second Secretary 42

to the legation at Budapest in 1939 and First Secretary to the legation at Teheran in 194r. Towards the end ofWorld War II he moved to the U.S.A., where he became special assistant to the U.S. representati-ye of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (1945-6) and also worked for Time magazine and Henry Holt, the publisher. He joined the United Nations in 1947 as a writer, and became editor-in-chief of the editorial control section. He retired in 1964 and wrote a book, A Guide to Writing for the U.N., in which he suggested that the Organization's documentation could be produced more briefly and in a better form; he had no use for the jargon of officialdom. His reputation as an advocate of good English stood so high that U.N.O. published it and invited him to give lessons in writing. His other publications include Portrait of a N ewspaper and Foreign Correspondent.

He was a member of the Athenaeum and of the Lotus Club in New York, and is survived by his second wife and two children of his earlier marriage. Among his last, and typically generous, acts was to be host to the Aularian party which foregathered in New York in the Easter Vacation on the occasion of the Dean's visit to the U.S.A. Francis Earl Ray, B.Sc., who entered the Hall in 1919, died on 25 November 1966. He had attended the Ninth International Cancer Congress in Tokyo in October, and was planning to circle the world on his way home to the U.S.A. At the time of his death he was Research Professor of Pharmaceutical Chemistry at the J. Hillis Miller Health Center at the University of Florida. His death occurred at Hong Kong.

The Revd. Alexander Bernard (in religion Antony) Selwyn, B.A., C.R., who was at the Hall 1915-19, died on 9 August 1966, aged 72.

After his training at Cuddesdon, he went north in 1921 to serve his title at King's Cross, Halifax, and in 1924 accepted a call to Ceylon to work under Bishop Carpenter-Garnier. His ministry at St. Michael's, Polwatte, Colombo, was a happy one, but was cut short by an unfortunate accident, and on medical instructions he returned to England to take up a curacy in Bath. He then decided to test his vocation to the religious life at Mirfield, and after his novitiate was professed there in January 1934¡ His life thereafter was unspectacular, but he accomplished a great work at Mirfield and Leeds, where most of his time was spent. Students at both places, the parish clergy (for whose labours and problems he had a deep sympathy), and the Companions of the Fraternity of the Resurrection (of which he was Warden), learned to appreciate his qualities as a priest. Throughout he maintained a passionate loyalty to his native West Country (he had been born in Somerset), to the Hall, and to Cuddesdon, of both which societies he was proud to be an alumnus.

CLUBS AND SOCIETIES THE DEBATING SOCIETY appears to be going through a lean time, with only two debates held throughout the whole year, both of which were nevertheless quite successful.

In Michaelmas Term the Society was pleased to welcome Mr. John Cox and Mr. Richard Piper from B.N.C. who proposed the motion 'That the politician is the last refuge of the buffoon' . This was opposed by Mr. R. M. Williams and Mr. R. B. Walker of the Hall, with Mr. Nigel Blair in the Chair. There was a moderate attendance but the speeches from the floor, especially some of those from several Freshmen, were entertaining. At the end of the evening the motion was narrowly defeated.

In Hilary Term the college welcomed the Revd. Roy Henderson as its visitor in connection with the O.I.C.C.U. mission. He ably opposed the motion 'That God is emotionally intolerable and rationally impossible'. He was equally ably assisted by Mr. D. F. Easton, whilst the motion was proposed by Mr. R. V. Jackson, Secretary of the Union, and Mr. M. York, a leading member of the O.U. Humanist Club. All the speeches were of a high standard and it was unfortunate that the considerable audience consisted mainly of hardened followers of both camps. There were many sharp exchanges from the floor and, after the President had officially closed the meeting, the motion having been defeated, informal discussion continued.

It is hoped that the Society's fortunes will be restored and there seems to be a good chance of this, especially in view of the fact that several current Freshmen are taking an active part in the affairs of the Oxford Union.

R.M.W. THE SOCIETY

THE ESSAY SOCIETY

MICHAELMAS TERM No REP o RT was received for this term and we hope that the responsible officers will be disciplined at some future session of public business.

HILARY TERM President: R. M. WILLIAMS Hilary Term was essentially a period of transition for the Society with the election of seven new members : Messrs. R. M. Ridley, J. R. Kilbee, P. G. M. Montgomery, P. Fickling, T . D. Machin,

44

D. F. Eaton and F. Hanbidge. On the whole meetings were well attended and the interest of the new members boded well for the future of the Society.

The Dinner Meeting at which the Guest Speaker was Mr. G. Burrows, Chief Constable of Oxford, was an outstanding success.

His analysis of the current problems facing the police in Britain provoked much controversy and even after the President had officially dosed the meeting, discussion continued to a late hour.

In fourth week the Society welcomed Mr. A. I. Marsh, Fellow of the Hall, who spoke on 'Industrial Relations'. Other essayists of the term were Mr. W. B. Walker-'Puritas, pure or perverted', Mr T. J. Goringe-'Bolivian Revolutions', Mr. G. H. Turner-'Room with a View' and Mr. D. V. Rumbelow-'Where do they all belong?' At the Port and Dessert meeting the President read his paper entitled 'Recent Developments in the Administration'.

R.M.W.

TRINITY TERM President: N. McN. JACKSON The Society again braved the disincentives of British weather and the attractions of the Oxford summer term, to gather each weekend, varying in numbers, but unvarying in the absence of the Coffee Committee. Mr. Blackwell's review of 'Trends in European Culture' was almost followed by Mr. Brennan's essay, but circumstances proved to be unfavourable to this apotheosis. A discussion of home affairs was stimulated by R. Simmond's essay 'Shades of Blue'; was consolidated by Dr. W. A. Pantin's offering entitled 'The Medieval Undergraduate' presented to a Dinner Meeting delighted by the presence of Dr. Emden; and was confused by the President's revelation of Oxford as a 'Blind New World' at the Port and Dessert meeting. Relief from introspection came in the seventh week with 'The Other American Dream' exposed by a well-informed C. Hardmg.

N.McN.J.

MUSIC SOCIETY President: D. B. HARRISON Secretary: N. OSBORNE THE LAST YEAR has possibly been the most succesful in the history of the Music Society, with no less than five concerts, representing a great diversity of musical media and styles. The twofold aim of providing a platform for Hall musicians and establishing a reputation within the University has been realized within the limits of a selfevident compromise.

45

Whilst the two chamber concerts, in Michaelmas and Hilary terms respectively, were devoted entirely to performances by members of the Hall, the three main concerts involved a certain amount of support from m embers of other colleges.

The first of these was held in the University church on November 29th and was predominantly choral. Items ranged from Medieval Carols to a selection of contemporary music for Christmas, including two Cornish carols by John Gould.

The concert in St. Michael's, on the other hand, had an instrumental bias, with performances of Schubert's Fifth Symphony, Vivaldi's Flautino Concerto and Purcell's 'My beloved spake'.

Undoubtedly the highlight of the year's activities was the summer concert, held in the quad on May 3oth, when over 60 performers combined in a rendering of Constant Lambert' s Rio Grande. Between the showers the audience was entertained by several further diversions, including Nick Boucher singing Stanford's Sea Songs, a Britten string quartet and a series of items in an altogether more frivolous vein.

Having achieved this position, the committee hopes that during the coming year, the standards and variety of the concerts may be increased. However, to repeat the annual plea, this situation can only be improved by increased interest and support from members of the Hall, not only as performers but also by coming to hear the N .O. results of our efforts.

THE JOHN OLDHAM SOCIETY President: D. CHRISTIAN Secretary: P. IRVIN THE SOCIETY has remained very active this year, though unfortunately none of last year's talented members except David Christian took part in activities.

In Drama Cuppers in Michaelmas term, Peter Irvin produced a shortened version of Pinter' s A Night Out. All the actors were Freshmen, including Robin Cross, Nicholas Fane, Frank Hanbidge, Brian Walker, and several guests from St. Hilda's and the Ruskin School of Drawing. Though the play did not reach the final, it seemed to hold and amuse the audience and was said by one of the adjudicators to have appealed to him more than any of the others.

In the fourth week of Trinity Term, David Christian, with considerable effort and initiative, took over the Playhouse and the Hall trod its boards again in a production of The Happy Haven by John Arden. Five Hall men took part, Brian Walker, Frank Hanbidge and

46

Peter Irvin, supported by David Tereschuk and Nicholas Fane.

Richard Cowardine of Corpus appeared as guest artist, along with Frances Hazleton of St. Hugh's and Alison Forbes of St. Anne's. The standard of acting was very high, and the production up to a professional level. Four of the five regular local critics gave us good reviews. Audiences were however disappointingly small, averaging about 120, and the play was not therefore a financial success. Two weeks later a three-college production of another play, though generally considered to be inferior to the Hall's solo production, attracted large houses. This would seem to indicate that combined efforts with larger casts will attract more people, friends of the cast if not disinterested theatre-goers. The fact may be worth bearing in mind for next year, which promises to be a very good one indeed.

T .R .P.I.

THE HEARNE SOCIETY President: G. A. METTERS Secretary: C. S. HART THE SOCIETY can claim a generally successful year, in which attendances-often artificially inflated by liberal donations of mulled claret-have fluctuated between 4 and 50. Besides a residual block of support among Hall historians, we have frequently been able to attract the interest even of scientists, a notable achievement for such a specialized society.

This year we have experimented more in the use of undergraduate speakers namely, R. M. Williams who gave a spirited account of 'Tory Radicalism in the r9th century', Mr. R. V. Jackson who enthralled a packed and somewhat unruly assembly with a graphic description of the 'Witch Craze in Mediaeval Europe', and Mr. W. B. Walker who delivered a partisan paper on 'The Growth of the Mass Movement in Irish Politics'.

In November the Society branched out into sociology as Dr. B. H. Harrison (Nuffield College) explained the possibilities of this field of investigation and its relevance to history. The return of a past President, Mr. P. Webb, from the clutches of the Royal Navy to deliver a paper on 'Charlie B. versus the Mulatto', a description of naval controversies prior to the First World War, attracted only poor attendance but was the longest and most enjoyable meeting of the year.

The highlight of our activities, however, proved to be the Annual Dinner in March, when a large assembly enjoyed a superb menu, and was addressed by Professor Agnes Headlam-Morley on 'Chamberlain and Appeasement', a subject made far more colourful by the

47

speaker's personal reminiscences. The lessons of the year seem to be that, apart from dining, modern or unusual subjects are most appreciated. The officers for next year, C. S. Hart (President) and W. B. Walker (Secretary), are therefore planning accordingly.

C.S.H.

THE LIDDON SOCIETY 'Soho', 'Poverty', 'Ghosts' and 'The Contemporary Theatre' have been among the talks held by the Society this year. For the first two terms the Society was under the care of Lawrence Mortimer and John Hughes: but in Trinity term it came under new management in the form of Tim Gorringe, the 'Boss', and Donald Easton, 'Chief Cook and Bottle Washer'. All thanks are due to Lawrence Mortimer for a smooth take-over.

We intend to branch out from tradition slightly next term by having a nativity play written and performed by members of the Society, and also a Christmas party for orphaned children. Depending on the success and approval of these ideas, we may develop them in the future.

T.J.G. D.F.E.

THE COSMOGRAPHERS THE SOCIAL GEOGRAPHERS were too busy being social to send in a report. The outer world may like to know however that they continued to maintain, in annual dinner and cocktail party, the ends for which they were founded.

THE BOAT CLUB MICHAELMAS TERM Captain: G. N. M. RICHARDSON Hon. Sec.: R. SIMMONDS The usual pre-term labours were this year replaced at the last moment by light-hearted activities on the river at Henley, where many members were involved in the filming of Tommy Steele in 'Half a Sixpence'. Many days of work as extras earned substantial donations for the O.U.B.C. The Hall entered three crews in Fours, one in the first and two in the second Division. The Hall rst IV defeated Oriel I and Keble II on their way to the final where, after a tough and exciting race, they were defeated by a strong Keble IV. The second IV defeated Christ Church II and Oriel II on their way to the final where they beat 48

Keble II to win the second Division. The Hall third IV after an agonising race in the first round defeated Hertford I after an earlier dead-heat. Unfortunately they progressed no further. The crews were: Ist IV 2nd IV 3rd IV M. S. Kennard (Bow) R. Simmonds N. S. Blackwell J. R. Bockstoce G. N. M. Richardson W. J. Powell C. E. Albert G. H. Turner H. L. Thomas J. K. Wolfenden (Str.) K. S. Hobbs R. A. Brown In the Godstow Long Distance Race, the Hall entered a novice crew which finished 5th in the Novice Division. In the Challenge Pairs, J. R. Bockstoce was in the winning pair.

In the O.U.B.C. Trial Eights, all who entered for Trials won their caps. R. A. Brown, N. S. Blackwell, K. S. Hobbs, G. H. Turner, J. S. Medhurst and R. Simmonds won Junior Trial Caps and M. S. Kennard, J. R. Bockstoce, J. K. Wolfenden and H. G. Nicholls rowed in the Senior Trial boats.

HILARY TERM

If hard work and training alone were the formula for winning Torpids, the Hall would have won hands down. But staying Head of the River demands more previous racing experience and with our welcome, but unanticipated successes in Junior Trials, we lost the nucleus of experience we needed. However land training, sculling and good coaching produced a reasonable crew which bore no resemblance to the 'novice eight' which appeared on the first day of term. On the Wednesday of Torpids the Hall in the centre station was not overtaken by St. John's until the Barges. On subsequent days we had the same station and dropped a place daily, never producing the form we had shown in training. The Second Torpid lost one place over the four days.

The crew was : Ist Torpid.

49

TRINITY TERM After the difficulties caused a year ago, the Isis Boat Club indicated in plenty of time that they would not continue their eight during term, and the summer eight was able to get down to early training and continue uninterrupted. On the Wednesday of Eights week we bumped Christ Church in the Gut and on the Thursday we went Head after bumping Oriel just before the Boathouse. On the Friday we rowed over after surviving Oriel's 'do or die' start and then on the Saturday the Keble crew proved their considerable worth when they bumped us at the O.U.B.C. The Keble and Hall crews stood in a class above everything else on the river, despite the fact that we were providing three of the summer Blue Boat, M. S. Kennard, ]. R. Bockstoce and E. ]. H. Gould.

Otherwise summer Eights were a great success for the Hall, for we scored 17 bumps and one overbump. A record number of nine Hall crews rowed in the Eights. The Schools Eight and the Hilarians Eight won their oars by going up four places in the week.

The First Eight was: Bow R. Simmonds R. W. Clark G. M. N. Richardson H. G. Nicholls R. E. Southwood R. D. Clegg K. S. Hobbs Str.]. K. Wolfenden Cox JS. Medhurst ]. R. Bockstoce has been elected President of the University Boat Club for the coming year. R. A. Brown has been elected Captain of the Hall Boat Club with A. D. Hill as Secretary.

Finally our sincere thanks to the people who have coached us during the past year-R. C.]. Bare, R. L. Howard, S. S. Willder, S. R. Morris, ]. R. Bockstoce and C. E. Albert.

G.N.M.R. THE CRICKET CLUB OF THE SCHEDULED fixtures, ten were won, eight were drawn, one was lost and ten were called off, mostly owing to rain which made the middle weeks of term miserable cricket weeks. The results were good, except for Cricket Cuppers fuial, where, although the batting failed to a certain extent, the total was still large enough to bowl at. The standard of both batting and bowling, however, was well below that of New College, who thoroughly deserved their victory.

Colours were awarded to R. M. Ridley, J. Kilbee, S. Manners, J. Shneerson,]. Patrick, N. Barah, S. Gatrell, P. Montgomery,].

THE RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB Captain: A. L. BucKNALL Captain of League Side: W.J. REA Secretaries: C. E. K. BOOTH and C. J. C. PALMER

MICHAELMAS TERM The first match of the season against the School of Artillery was won r6-o and the talent displayed by the Freshmen augured well.

Of the r 8 matches played in the term only three were lost and over 300 points scored. The team regained the League championship.

The Second XV, ably led by M. Kerford-Bymes, did very well to finish third in their first season in the Third Division.

HILARY TERM Cuppers were again won although not so convincingly as last year.

Of the friendly matches played in this term, eight were won and four lost.

Colours were awarded to: N. Banks, R. T. Baker, C. E. K. Booth, K. Bywater, P. M. Crystal, P. J. Dixon, M. Kerford-Byrnes, C. W. Kemp, P. A. D. Griffiths, D. A. Hopkins, J.C. Morris, G. Parry, J. D. Shortridge, R. R. Speed, D. J. Stewart. ].D.S.

THE ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL CLUB Captain: 0. M. MEREDITH Secretary: A. H. MORGAN THE CLUB has had an exceptionally successful season. In Michaelmas term the League XI finished first in the First Division, winning six and losing one of their fixtures. League highlights were the victories over Christ Church and Pembroke, r-o and 3-r respectively, and the 3-r victory over B.N. C. In this game we were below strength but played our best football of the term to clinch the championship.

The Second XI won all their seven games to win the Second Team League easily.

In Hilary term the club comfortably retained the College Cuppers for the fourth year in succession, easily beating St. Catherine's 5-r in the final. In the four games played the Hall scored 22 goals and conceded .only 6.

The results of the Saturday friendlies did not, unfortunately, reflect the high standard of soccer in the Hall, mainly because of the heavy demands made on the Club by the University team and the Centaurs.

51

In Michaelmas term the Hall gained revenge for last year's 5-r defeat, by convincingly beating a strong Old Aularians' side, 5-r.

The playing record of the season speaks for itself: the Hall rst and 2nd XI' s played almost fifty games and only five were lost.

Hall colours were awarded to: D. M. Huxley, W. Walker, M. Warren and M. W osskow.

Officials elected for the season 1967-8 are: Captain, A. H. Morgan; Secretary, M. Wosskow.

M.W.

THE HOCKEY CLUB Captain: T. J. MACHIN Secretary: S. J. MANNERS THIS w AS the most successful year the Hall has ever had. The team won the Keble six-a-side competition, the Division I League and the Cuppers competition. An all Freshmen side, apart from the Secretary, won the six-a-side competition by beating Keble 2-r in the final. In Cuppers, by beating Worcester 2-0, New College 3-r, Trinity 3-r and Jesus r-o, the Hall met Corpus Christi College in the final. Because of bad weather, this was postponed until after the University Hockey match in the Hilary term. A good game was decided in our favour by a goal from T. Machin from a long corner, five minutes from the end. The League was also played in the Hilary term, and the Hall ended clear winners by winning four games and drawing one, and with a goal average of twelve goals for and only one against.

P. Stiven, D. Walton-Masters and R. M. Oliver played for Oxford against Cambridge. R . M. Oliver is also to be congratulated on captaining the England Hockey team and playing for Great Britain.

Officers for next season are: Captain, S. J. Manners; Secretary, J. R. Kilbee.

THE ATHLETIC CLUB President: D. A. PERRY Athletics Secretary: N. A. LOVATT Cross-country Secretary: M. C. JOHNS WITH A LARGE PERCENTAGE of the previous year's team going down at the end of the season it was with some trepidation that we looked forward to this year's activities and our intake of freshmen, but though our expectations in this field were not unfulfilled,

52

the Hall did not have as successful a year as was hoped and we ended the season without a trophy. The :first competition was CrossCountry Cuppers which pre-race betting gave us a sporting chance of winning, but it was not to be and due to injury the team finished a creditable third to St. Peter's and St. John's. Despite some astute argument by Mike Johns on the legal merits of A.A.A.'s rules the cross-country league was also lost, and moreover, the victorious Oxford Varsity match team did not contain a Hall man, an oversight which must be rectified this winter. And so the cross-country season was none too successfully passed, but consolation can be drawn from the fact that M. C. Johns was elected captain of the O.U. Tortoises Club. The St. Edmund Hall 6X 2 miles road relay was the usual success and resulted in a record breaking win for Queens', Cambridge.

Unfortunately on the track we were no more successful as a team at least. In the winter we lost the relays cup to a strong St. Catherine' s team, and failed to win the field events trophy by the barest of margins without our shot-put star Rod Speed who was unavailable. And so we attempted to take away the cuppers trophy for the sixth successive year, but despite a tremendous effort by all concerned we failed to hold the international-laden St. Catherine's team.

Nick Lovatt won the Varsity match 880 yds. in splendid form and Rod Speed was third in the shot. Both these athletes were selected to represent the combined Oxford and Cambridge team against Harvard and Yale and performed creditably. Finally, a word of appreciation for David Scharer who has been such a tower of strength in Hall teams for so long, and until this year had never been in a losing cuppers team, a record we were unable to maintain. We will never have an athlete of such all round ability again (although there is always hope), and the team as a whole wish him all the best in the future. Colours were awarded to M. Davies, G. Evans, M. Johns, C. Kelk, N. Lovatt, P. McFarland, R. Speed.

D.A.P.

THE SQUASH RACKETS CLUB Captain: R . A. G. WHITE Secretary: N. BARAK an extremely successful season at all levels, making a clean sweep of the Michaelmas League and the Hilary Cuppers competition. The reason for our success lay in our strength in depth and the unusual energy displayed by otherwise slothful gentlemen of the second Five, which enabled the gentlemen stars to relax when overwhelmed by the demands of the modern game. The Admin. went with customary smoothness, the Hilary fixture card being

ready in good time for Trinity term, and our team and that of Imperial College, London, miraculously arriving in good time for a match: unfortunately each at the other's courts, some small matter of seventy miles distance!

R.A.G.W.

THE BADMINTON CLUB Captain: M. J. BOYLETT Secretary: S. K. OsBORNE WITH THE new gymnasium now available for badminton it was hoped that the Hall badminton following would be even larger than last year when the Hall was the only college to field a second team.

But as there were no freshmen of any real talent we had only a small pool of players to call upon. The IV had a successful season gaining promotion back in Division I without conceding a match, while in Cuppers were rather unfortunate when a weakened side lost to Oriel in the second round.

With most of the players staying on next year we look forward to an even more successful season if only good freshmen can be found.

Officers for 1967-8 are: Captain, S. K. Osborne; Secretary, as yet not decided.

S.K.O.

THE HILARIANS Captain: J. H. BUNNEY Secretary: J. G. BARCLAY THE TRADITIONAL FUNCTIONS of the Club were maintained throughout the 1966/7 season, but unfortunately some of the matches were cancelled by the opposition. However IO of the l 5 matches arranged were played. The Cambridge matches provided the best entertainment and particularly notable this year was the battle with Fitzwilliam Shrimps, when the skills of gamesmanship as well as Rugby were practised. The final score in this match was 43 all!

A match had been arranged against Lady Margaret Hall but was cancelled at the last minute because of the opposition's insistence that they should wear spiked running shoes for protection.

Officers elected for 1967-8 are: Captain, B. G. O'Dwyer; Secretary; D. O'Regan.

THE SADDLE CLUB THE CLUB continued with its equestrian activities, and this year added jumping to its programme of lessons and practice.

ENDOWMENT FUND DONATIONS AND SUBSCRIPTIONS are still coming in to the Endowment Fund, although most of the deeds of covenant have now reached their term. For the time being the generosity of old members is being largely channelled to the Hall through the New Buildings Fund; this will remain the case until the new buildings are completed and the transformation of St. Peter's-in-the-East carried through, but when those tasks are accomplished the Endowment Fund will regain importance as the principal channel for support of the Hall by Aularians. Nevertheless in the year ended 3I July 1966, sums amounting in total to ÂŁ373 5s. Sd. were received, by gifts or under covenant; and for these the Hall is deeply grateful. The grand total contributed to the Endowment Fund to date by old menibers is ÂŁ15,976 14s. 7d.

I have examined the books and vouchers of the Association for the year ended 30 April 1965. In my opinion the above Balance Sheet and annexed Income and Expenditure Account give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Association and of the income over expenditure for the year ended that date.
