ELLIS

THE PRINCIPAL AND FELLOWS 1968, after holding the office for four years and seeing the commission itself get off the groW1d and a parallel commission set up by the Roman Catholic Church, the Principal resigned from being chairman of the Archbishop of Canterbury's Commission on Roman Catholic Relations. The Archbishop has now appointed him a member of the Anglican/Roman Catholic Permanent Joint Theological Commission. Dr. Kelly preached University Sermons at Oxford on 20 October 1968 and at St. Andrews on 20 April 1969. A French translation of his Early Christian Doctrines was published in Paris, last November with the title Initiation a la Doctrine des Peres de l'Eglise. His commentary, The Epistles qf Peter and qf Jude, his second contribution to A. and C. Black's well-known series, appeared in September.

The Vice-Principal (Mr. C. W. F. R . Gullick), stepping into an unforeseen gap, umpired the semi-final of Hockey Cuppers in Hilary Term. The Dean (Revd. E. G. Midgley) has been on sabbatical leave for 1968-69, peregrinating between his cottage in Horsehouse in Coverdale and the British Museum, but has made two or three welcome visits to the Hall accompanied by his new dog Fred. Dr. D. C. M. Yardley has been reappointed by the Oxford Regional Hospital Board to the Isis Group Hospital Management Committee, and has been re-elected by Congregation as a City Councillor and as a Delegate of Extra-mural Studies. In Hilary Term he acted as chairman of the Curators of the University Theatre, and has been re-elected chairman of the City Library Committee. Mr. R. E. Alton and Dr. E. R. Oxburgh have served as the Hall's representatives on the Conference of Colleges. Dr. R. B. Mitchell, who has been Acting Dean, gave a report at the Conference on Computers and Old English Concordances at the Centre for Medieval Studies, University of Toronto, in March, and conducted a summer school

on the history of the English language at Cincinnati in July. He has examined for the Universities of Liverpool and Oxford (B.Phil. and D.Phil.). The Revd. H. E.]. Cowdrey has been granted sabbatical leave for 1969-70; during his absence the Revd. E. G. Midgley will be Acting Chaplain. Mr. R . B. Pugh (Supernumerary Fellow) has been invited to spend the coming winter at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, N.J. Dr. D. I. Scargill has been elected to the Public and Preparatory Schools Committee and the Sixth-form and University Committee of the Geographical Association. He was chairman of the examiners for the Final Honour School of Geography, 1969. Professor]. W. Christian has been awarded the Rosenhain Medal of the Institute of Metals for 1969. He attended the conference of the European Physical Society at Florence in April, and was invited to lecture on 'Interfaces' at Melbourne in August.

He was chairman of the Final Honour School of Metallurgy and Science of Materials, 1969. Mr. J. Hackney examined for the B.C.L. in Trinity Term. Mr. A. I. Marsh is proceeding with his inquiry into Workplace Relations in the Engineering Indumy. He has received a grant for his work on Small Trade Unions, and is also supervising a: project on Irish Industrial Relations with University College, Dublin. Mr. J. B. Knight spent the recent Long Vacation in Ghana engaged in research into the labour market and inflation; he has been given hospitality by the University of Ghana.

HONORARY FELLOWS EARL y THIS YEAR the Right Revd.]. w. c. Wand tendered his resignation as Canon-residentiary and Treasurer of St. Paul's Cathedral. Few men can have had such a varied and unusual ecclesiastical career, for between leaving Oxford, where he proved himself a distinguished scholar, and becoming Canon of St. Paul's, Dr. Wand was successively Archbishop of Brisbane, Bishop of Bath and Wells, and Bishop of London. He has now settled with his son-in-law and daughter at Maplehurst, Horsham, Sussex, and it is already obvious that his retirement is going to be one crowded with literary activity.

The Magazine congratulates Dr. Emden on being elected a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries.

NATALIS OCTOGENARlUS who keep abreast with events will have noticed that Dr. Emden achieved his eightieth birthday on 22 October last year, and certainly all who have not yet had the opportw1ity of doing so will join the Magazine in offering him belated, but none the less affectionate, congratulations and good wishes. In Oxford and London A ULARIANS

the occasion was celebrated with a series of festive banquets from which Dr. Emden emerged no whit impaired but refreshed and reinvigorated. On 25 October the President of the St. Edmund Hall Association, with the Deputy President (Mr. C. J. Hayes) and the Principal as co-hosts, entertained Dr. Emden to dinner in the Principal' s Lodgings, inviting such members of the Executive Committee and such Fellows as had been undergraduates at the Hall during Dr. Emden's reign. In his speech the President (Mr. J. B. Allan) spoke of Dr. Emden' s great contribution to the life of the Hall, his unfailing interest in all his pupils and the vigour with which he continued his researcht~S into medieval Oxford and the most inaccessible of wild flowers. A similar function was held in his honour by Oxford historians labouring in the medieval terrain from which Dr. Emden himself has by his researches harvested such rich and abundant crops. Yet another dinner was given for Dr. Emden in London in November by Mr. N. G. Fisher, whom the late sunshine of Corfu had prevented from attending the dinner at the Hall, and at this a group of Aularians of early thirties vintage were enabled to renew their friendship with their then Principal. In addition Dr. Emden received a telegram, obscure in its Latinity but magnificently dear in intent, extending warm greetings from a number of present undergraduates and recent graduates. Finally, the Association has decided to present to the College, as a permanent commemoration of this auspicious a1miversary, the high table, the Principal' s chair, and other chairs surrounding the high table, for the new dining hall.

ROWLEY GULLICK the Governing Body regretfully accepted Mr. C. W. F. R. Gullick's resignation of his Fellowship, to take effect on 3 l December this year (he has been on sabbatical leave during Michaelmas Term). This regret will be deeply and sincerely shared by the ni.any hundreds of Aularians who have known Mr. Gullick during his long connection with the Hall, and particularly by the many scores of geographers whose studies he has guided. A graduate himself of Queen's, Mr. Gullick began teaching Geography for the Hall in 1935, was elected Fellow in 1950, and was almost immediately appointed Senior Tutor, an office which he held with distinction until 1968, when he became Vice-Principal. Largely as a result of his leadership and careful teaching the Hall has become renowned for the size and quality of its Geography School. As Senior Tutor he collaborated until 1966 with the Principal in admissions, and it is no secret that he used his influence to bring to the Hall many of the distinguished athletes who have given the Hall an enviable IN TRINITY TERM

3

reputation in sport. Throughout his time the Governing Body has benefited enormously from his experience in business, his commonsense realism and his practical flair, and junior members from the warm personal interest, coupled with generous hospitality, which he and Mrs. Gullick have invariably shown. The Magazine is sure that they will both retain their keen concern for the Hall, and its fortunes, and wishes Mr. Gullick every happiness in what promises to be a not inactive retirement.

IN MEMORIAM I

on 27 September 1968, at the age of 69, of William Hume-Rothery, O.B.E., D.Sc., F.R.S., was a grievous blow to the Hall, which he joined as Professorial Fellow in January 1958 on his appointment to the Isaac Wolfson Chair of Metallurgy, and of which he had been an Honorary Fellow since his retirement in 1966.

His story was in many ways remarkable, and not least because, educated at Cheltenham College and the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, he had first intended a military career, but when a serious illness rendered him totally deaf he switched, abruptly and with outstanding success, to one in chemistry and the allied sciences.

This is not the place to recount his achievements as a scientist, but the sustained original research in which he engaged resulted in epoch-making discoveries, particularly in the field of electron compounds and the enw1Ciation of the famous size-factor rule. As a teacher he was no less distinguished, and his many books have had a wide influence, several of his lucid expositions of difficult modern theories being translated into most major languages. Honours and awards were heaped on him by universities, institutes and learned societies at home and abroad, and these were crowned by his election as the first holder of the new Isaac Wolfson Chair. At Oxford his longest co1mection was with Magdalen College, where he had been Demy, Senior Demy and Fellow, but the Hall can claim with pride and gratitude that the ten years he spent with it as a Fellow were among the happiest of his academic life. All his colleagues found him the most delightful of companions, vigorous in the expression of his views, always full of fun and humour, and infectious in his enthusiasm for fishing, rugby football and painting (he was an accomplished water-colourist). At Governing Body meetings his deafness seemed hardly any handicap, and with the help of a neighbour jotting down hurried notes he was able to follow the discussions .alertly and make his own, often trenchant, interventions. A memorial THE DEA TH

service conducted by the Chaplain was held in Magdalen College Chapel on 9 November r968. His many friends at the Hall offer sincere sympathy to his wife and daughter, and will cherish him in their thoughts.

The Rev. Leonard Hodgson, D.D., S.T.D., Hon. D.C.L., Honorary Fellow of the Hall and of Selwyn College, Cambridge, and Emeritus Student of Christ Church, died on 15 July at the age of 79.

Educated at St. Paul's School and Hertford College, he began his long and affectionate connection with the Hall in 1914, when the then Principal, the Rev. H. H. Williams, invited him to become Vice-Principal. After leaving the Hall in 1919, he was successively Dean of Divinity at Magdalen College (1919-25), Professor of Christian Apologetics at the General Theological Seminary, New York (1925-31), Residentiary Canon of Winchester (1931-38), and Regius Professor of Divinity and Canon of Christ Church (1938-58).

During all these years he was closely and influentially involved with the Faith and Order movement, and at the same time was developing his chief intellectual interest-the application of philosophical treatment to religious problems. The fruit of these studies was a notable series of books, some addressed primarily to scholars but others to the wider Christian public; and his distinction as a theologian was recognized by his being invited to deliver the Croall Lectures at Edinburgh and the Gifford Lectures at Glasgow. On returning to Oxford in 1938 he resumed his links with the Hall, being appointed Honorary Fellow in r944, regularly attending Hall functions and reunions, and serving for many years as a Vice-President of the Aularian Association. Latterly, in retirement, he was Warden of William Temple College, Rugby, from 1964 to 1968. All who know him will recall with respect his deceptively severe aspect which belied the warmest of hearts, and his direct, almost laconic habit of speaking which was invariably the expression of an essentially frank and honest mind. For all his considerable gifts of intellect and undoubted force of character, he always remained a humble and indeed self-effacing person, of sincerely Christian faith. Not the least of the debts the Hall owes him is that it was at his suggestion that, at the dose of World War I, Mr. A. B. Emden, still not demobilized from the Navy, was invited to join the Hall as Bursar and Tutor in Modern History. Dr. Hodgson's funeral service, at which the Hall was represented by the Principal, was held in the little village church of Epwell, near Banbury, where he had lived in retirement, and after the service, at which the Bishop of Oxford presided, he was buried in the churchyard outside the door of the church.

Three other noted Oxford scholars who died in the past year touched the Hall, in one way or another, in their careers. Austin Marsden Farrer, D .D., F.B.A., whose death on 29 December deprived Keble College of its Warden on the eve of its centenary celebrations, was Chaplain of the Hall, and Tutor in Theology and Philosophy, from 1931 to 1935, when he moved to Trinity; those were days when the Hall's statutes made no provision for Fellowships and when the Chaplain's stipend was inadequate for a married man.

His was one of the most brilliant and subtle minds that have applied themselves to theological study this century, and it is hard to decide whether his contribution to the philosophical discussion of revealed religion or to the interpretation of the New Testament has been the more stimulating. His versatility was astonishing; and whatever he wrote, whether it was a serious treatise, a sermon of moving eloquence and spiritual insight, or one of the limericks he threw off so lightly, was a model of literary grace-often, too, of devastating wit. It is pleasant to recall that he is the author both of the severely classical inscription on the Canterbury Building and of the mockmedieval 'Hyrnnus de Sancto Edmundo' (which he composed in his bath), as well as of the intricately ingenious Latin inscription on the recently presented Henley steeple-cup.

Sir Harold Theodore Tylor, B.C.L., Barrister of the Inner Temple, who died at the age of 68 on 23 October 1968, was Lecturer in Law at the Hall from 1925 to 1953, when it became possible, on the foundations he had laid, to create first one, ¡ and later a second, Fellowship in Jurisprudence. He was himself a Fellow of Balliol for most of his professional career, and after his retirement in 1967 an Honorary Fellow. He was a noted tutor of the old school who in his time taught all the subjects required for the Honour School, and many of his pupils, chiefly Balliol men, ¡achieved great eminence in law or politics. As his Hall pupils will recall, it took 'Theo' a great deal of time to dispose of his tutorials, the nominal 'hour' frequently lasting up to two and a half hours. A big man physically, with a powerful voice and strongly held opinions, he could be formidable to all but the ablest undergraduates, but if weaker men sometimes felt that he bullied them, they were always aware that he had a kindly heart. Born with very weak eyesight, he became virtually blind at a very early age, and uriderstandably gave a great deal of time and energy to the Royal National Institute for the Blind, being latterly chairman of its Council for several years. One of his most disconcerting habits was to use a braile note-taking machine wheh talking to people. He was an expert chess-player, beating the English 6

champion in a match some ten years ago, and when later in life he played more bridge than chess he reached championship standard in this game too. The Hall stands deeply in his debt.

So too it does to Charles Leslie Wrenn, Rawlinson and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon from 1946 to 1963, Honorary Fellow of Pembroke College, who died on 31 May at the age of 73. Although never an official Lecturer of the Hall, he regularly gave tuition to Hall men in English language during his time as University Lecturer in Anglo-Saxon (1930-39) and as Professor at King's College, London (1939-46); even recently, after his retirement, he was prepared to lend a hand if called upon. He was a philologist in the widest sense, and linguistic science was to him a humane and liberal discipline. He himself had from early manhood been a keen student of Russian and Slavonic languages, and has knowledge of Indian languages as well as being versed in Celtic and Turkish. Perhaps his greatest contribution to academic cooperation between different countries was the founding of the International Conference of University Professors of English.

NEW FELLOWSHIPS THE HALL extends a warm welcome to Nicholas James Stone, M.A., D.Phil., whom the Governing Body elected last December to a Tutorial Fellowship in Physics (in succession to Professor G. W. Series), and who was admitted to his Fellowship at the beginning of Trinity Term. Dr. Stone is a graduate of Christ Church, where he was elected to the John Fell Exhibition in 1958, and held a Pressed Steel Fellowship while preparing his D.Phil. thesis on 'The Investigation of Nuclear Levels by Nuclear Orientation'. From 1963 to 1965 he engaged in post-doctoral research at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, Berkeley, California, and since returning to this country has been Lecturer in Physics at Wadham College. Dr. Stone, who has an impressive series of learned papers to his credit, is also a Senior Research Officer at the Clarendon Laboratory.

In Trinity Term the Governing Body elected William Urry, Ph.D. (London), University Reader-elect in Palaeography, to a Professorial Fellowship. Dr. Urry has for many years been Archivist to the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury, and also to the city of Canterbury, and as well as being an expert in the field of palaeography has produced an important general study of Canterbury under the Angevin kings. Last year he was a Visiting Fellow at All Souls. His election is particularly happy because he was offered a place at the Hall in 1946, but was obliged to relinquish it in order to take up immediately his duties in the library of Canterbury ¡ Cathedral.

7

In Trinity Term the Governing Body elected Professor G. W. Series to an Emeritus Fellowship, and on 5 June the Principal and Fellows entertained him and Mrs. Series to a farewell dinner. The Magazine congratulates Professor Series on being granted leave in the same term to supplicate for the degree of Doctor of Science.

LECTURER SHIPS MR. E. P. WILSON, who has been joint Lecturer in Medieval English at the Hall and University College since 1965, has been appointed Lecturer in Medieval English Literature at Edinburgh University from October this year. While his promotion calls for congratulation, Mr. Wilson will be sadly missed, for he has not only given the Hall excellent service as a teacher, but has carried out his duties as assistant to the Dean with an admirable combination of firmness and tact. Appointments to three new Lecturerships have been made in the course of the year. Dr. A. W. H. Buffery, Senior Research Officer at the Institute of Psychology, took up the position of Lecturer in Psychology, jointly with Brasenose and Keble Colleges, in October 1968. In Hilary Term 1969 Mr. P. A. Lloyd-Bostock, Faculty Lecturer and formerly Exhibitioner of Lincoln College, was appointed Lecturer in Spanish, jointly with Jesus and Wadham Colleges and Lady Margaret Hall. At the same meeting the Governing Body elected Mrs. Jeannine Beatrice Alton to a Lecturership in French. This last appointment has special interest, for Mrs. Alton, who is a distinguished graduate of Lady Margaret Hall, is the first woman to join the teaching staff of the Hall. The constitutional change involved is all the more welcome as it gives recognition, amply merited if belated, to the nineteen years' tuition whicb Mrs. Alton has given to members of the Hall reading for the Honour School of Modern Languages.

COLLEGE OFFICERS IN v IE w of his impending retirement at the end of the year and of the fact that he will be on sabbatical leave in Michaelmas Term, Mr. C. W. F. R. Gullick has resigned from being Vice-Principal, a position to which he was elected in the summer of 1967. In his place the Governing Body has appointed the Revd. E. G. Midgley, his term of office to run from l October. The Governing Body has also invited Mr. Midgley to undertake the duties of Chaplain for the academic year 1969-70, during which the Revd. H. E. J. Cowdrey will be on sabbatical leave. The three offices of Vice-Principal, Dean and Chaplain will therefore be concentrated in one person for the first time since 1951, when the present Principal surrendered them.

8

In March Dr. R. B. Mitchell expressed the desire to relinquish, from the end of Trinity Term, the position of Junior Dean, which he had held continuously from 1956. While accepting his resignation with regret, the Governing Body decided that it would be appropriate, particularly in view of the great enlargement of the site and the number ofjunior members living in Hall, to rearrange the duties hitherto attaching to the office. It was agreed that, to assist the Dean in matters of discipline, the care of student health and certain routine tasks, there should be a Sub-Dean, and Mr. P. J. Collins has been appointed the fast holder of this office. lt was agreed that a new officer, to be called Camerarius, should have responsibility for allocating teaching rooms to Fellows and rooms to junior n1embers; Dr. J. D. Todd has been appointed the first Camerarius. It was further decided that the function of assigning moral tutors (if that venerable Oxford description is still relevant to the contemporary university scene) to graduate students should henceforth belong to the Tutor for Graduates.

SCHOOLS RESULTS AS THE ADVERTISEMENTS for unit trusts so wisely point out, with regard to the value of their shares, a college's schools performance is 'liable to go down as well as up'. Nevertheless it is pleasant to learn, as the Magazine goes to press, that this year's results have a distinctly bullish air. Of the 93 candidates who entered, 5 obtained Firsts, 77 Seconds and I I Thirds, while 2 ploughed. According to the so-called Norrington computation, which awards 3 points for a First, 2 for a Second, and I for a Third, this places the Hall tenth in the list of 28 men's and women's colleges, Corpus being top and Keble bottom. According to the percentage system, however, which is based on the proportion of Firsts and Seconds to entries, the H all comes out third, the first six colleges being Corpus, St. Hilda's, St. Edmund Hall, Wadham, Merton and St. Anne's. If anyone is tempted to infer that the Hall must be becoming a 'grey' institution , he should reflect that this same year saw it win or retain the intercollegiate cups for Rugby, Soccer, Hockey, Cricket, Tennis and Athletics.

THE CHAPEL VISITING PREACHERS at Evensong were the Revd. Professor Henry Chadwick and the Most Revd. Anthony Bloom, Metropolitan of Sourozh, in Michaelmas Term; Archbishop Bloom and the Revd. Dr. J. Halliburton, of St. Stephen's House, in Hilary Term; and the Revd. A. E. Harvey, Research Student of Christ 9

Church, and the Revd. Dr. D. G. Rowell, Chaplain and Hastings Rashdall Student of New College, in Trinity Term. During the University Mission in Hilary Term Archbishop Bloom was the Hall missioner, and resided in college throughout the week. Mass according to the Roman Catholic rite was celebrated one evening in each term. The practice of having a Sung Eucharist late on the evenings of the great festivals was continued .

•

THE NEW BUILDINGS last appeared Phase 2 of the Hall's great building programme has been going steadily ahead, if sometimes with exasperating slowness, and barring some unforeseen accident or hold-up the east block, the dining hall block with its kitchens and services, and the new Junior Common Room are expected to be in occupation and operation (though doubtless with many finishing touches to be added) by the beginning of Michaelmas Term this year. The Senior Common Room, on a bridge floor stretching from the north-east end of the dining hall to the south wall of New College garden, should be ready by Christmas. The impressions formed by all who have visited the site recently and observed the buildings taking their final shape have been uniformly favourable, and even those who have been involved in their planning from the start gladly acknowledge that the combination of aesthetic attractiveness and practical utility which the imaginative architects have produced exceeds their most optimistic expectations. For the decoration and equipment of the rooms the Governing Body sought the advice of a committee of undergraduates, and if the result is highly successful it owes much to the commonsense and intelligent criticisms and suggestions they advanced. The design of the furniture for the dining hall has been entrusted to the architect, Mr. Gilbert Howes, and as expected he has produced tables and chairs which harmonize admirably with the lines and general feeling of the hall.

The College is deeply indebted to the St. Edmund Hall Association, which has generously presented the high table, Principal' s chair, and certain other chairs as a gift to commemorate Dr. Emden' s eightieth birthday.

This far-reaching and ambitious project could never have been accomplished, even if account is taken of the Wolfson Foundation's munificent benefaction, without the financial assistance provided by many old members. In recognition of this the Principal and Fellows have arranged to hold a garden party for subscribers to the New Buildings Fund and their wives on Saturday 27 June 1970, prior to the Reunion Dinner to be held that evening. The garden party will SINCE THE MAGAZINE

10

take place at or around 3 p.m., in the churchyard which has now become the College garden and in the old quadrangle, and those attending will be conducted over the new buildings, including the residential quarters and the kitchens. ln view of the large numbers likely to be attending the Reunion Dinner, it will unfortunately not be possible to accommodate wives in Hall for the night, and those who will find it difficult to return home that afternoon or evening are therefore advised to book accommodation in Oxford or the neighbourhood in plenty of time. Further information about the garden party will be sent out with the notices giving details of the Reunion.

As mentioned above, this is Phase 2; there still remains a third Phase before the overall building programme is complete. This will entail pulling down the house on the High Street containing Staircases 9 and ro (sometimes familiarly known as 'the slums') and the dilapidated building north of it housing Staircase l l and the surgery.

This operation has had to be left till the end, if for no other reason because the demolition of so many undergraduate rooms in this area in conjunction with the necessary destruction of a number of rooms on the Forum site would have left the College intolerably short of residential accommodation in the meantime. A start is expected to be made on Phase 3 in the autumn of 1970, and the plans envisage the construction of an L-shaped building, with a traditional front on the High, linked directly with the old quadrangle through the Canterbury Building and gracefully rounding off the whole development.

As a footnote it may be added that, in delivering the Creweian Oration at Encaenia, the Public Orator commented on recent building in Oxford and singled out for mention the gabled roof of the east block (which in the judgement of many improves the view of the city to visitors approaching it from Magdalen bridge), remarking, 'Aulae S. Edmundi, in Fori ut dicitur situ, tanquam serram in caelum exporrectam iam videmus'.

FROM CHURCH TO LIBRARY SINCE EARLY SPRING work on the repair and strengthening of the structure of St. Peter's-in-the-East, and on its conversion into a library, has been going steadily ahead. The architect advising is Mr. J. R. Allen, of Kenneth Stevens and Associates (the architects of the new buildings), and the builders are the local firm of Benfield and Loxley. The areas excavated by the archaeologists in 1968 have been filled in, and a new floor has been laid-although it should be remarked that the present operations have resulted in fresh finds of II

archaeological interest, including the discovery of a cache of medieval tiles and the floor-level of the medieval vestry. The pillars in the north aisle, which were in a precarious condition, have been taken down and, with the arches above them, reconstructed. Other parts of the building receiving attention are the tracery of the windows, the roof and its drainage, the tower (at present enclosed in scaffolding), the roof timbers, external stone surfaces, and the boundary walls. The installation of a completely new heating system has also been taken in hand; and, as the heat has to be brought from the boiler-house under the new dining hall, it was necessary in July to dig up the south and west paths of the old quadrangle, as well as the floor of the entrance to the buttery and the stretch of the churchyard to the south porch, so that concrete and brick beds for the lengthy ducts required could be constructed and the ducts securely laid. Earlier, in good time for the opening of Trinity Term, a door was cut through from the bottom of Staircase 4, and broad, shallow steps ¡leading up to the stone path laid last year along New College garden wall were built, thus providing direct access from the quadrangle to the churchyard. As a result this has now been fully integrated with the Hall, and during the summer was made much use of as a garden. There is every likelihood that the operations will be completed and the library transferred to the church in the forthcoming academic year.

A SPLENDID GIFT NOT THE LEAST daunting problem facing the Hall in assuming responsibility for St. Peter' s-in-the-East has been the fabric , the condition of which (as indicated above) stands in urgent need of strengthening and repair. The estimated cost of this, exclusive of the heating installation without which deterioration would speedily set in once again, comes to approximately ÂŁ20,000; and this is, of course, additional to the very considerable sum required for the adaptation of the church to a library. It is therefore very gratifying to be able to report that the Pilgrim Trust, which takes a special interest in the proper preservation of ancient buildings of historic and aesthetic worth, has made a contribution of ÂŁ 7,500 towards the restoration work. For this munificent and very timely donation the Hall and all its members offer the Trustees their heartfelt thanks.

AN EARLIER LIBRARY will not be the first to be housed in St. Peter' sin-the-East, for from 1841 to 1966 the church possessed one of the most interesting parochial libraries in the Church of England. It

TH E HALL LIBRARY

12

was founded on 15 April 1841 by the Revd. W. K. Hamilton, Fellow of Merton and Vicar of the parish 1837-41, Bishop of Salisbury 1854-66. It contained some 250 volumes, 71 being earlier than 1800, as well as a manuscript catalogue and a register of removals (1841-76), and was kept, in whole or part, over the south porch. The date '1841' and the words 'E. LIBR. BIBL. s. PET. AD. OR. OXON. ', enclosing the emblem of a fish (symbol of Peter the fisherman), were stamped in gilt on the covers of all the books. The library was unfortunately dispersed by the Parochial Church Council prior to the transfer .of the church to the Hall, and the Bodleian took twelve volumes, including the manuscript catalogue, the rest being sold. Four of them were subsequently bought by Mr. Neil R. Ker, formerly Fellow of Magdalen and Reader in Palaeography (who is the author of the authoritative work on parochial church libraries), and he has now generously presented these to the Hall. They are lzaak Walton's Lives (Oxford, 1824); Sermons and Homilies Appointed to be Read in Churches (London, 1834: bearing W. K. Hamilton's signature and the date 'April 6th 1836'); Thomas Ken's Prose Works (London, 1838); and The Book of Common Prayer (Oxford, 1838).

The Hall is deeply indebted to Mr. Ker for his considerate gift. It was later discovered that Blackwell's still retained three volumes: R. Sherlock's The Practical Christian or The Devout Penitent (Oxford, l 841); the Revd. I. Williams' s The Gospel Narrative of our Lord's Nativity Harmonized: with Reflections (London, 1844); and the Revd.

I. Williams's The Gospel Narrative of our Lord's Ministry (the second year) Harmonized: with Reflections (London, 1848). When Sir Basil Blackwell heard of the Hall's interest in this unique, and wmecessarily broken up, collection, he immediately sent the three volumes to the Principal 'as a token tribute of gratitude to you and the Hall for nurturing' his grandson during the past three years. The Hall is much touched by, and gratefully acknowledges, this graceful gift.

It would also be glad to hear from anyone, whether an Aularian or not, into whose hands any other volume from the old parochial library should come.

THE NEW BOATHOUSE this year of a boathouse of its own by the Hall can be reckoned a landmark in the history of the sporting clubs.

Older Aularians will remember that from 1898 to 1938 the Hall rented from Salter Brothers a modest barge which was moored at the west extremity of the line of barges then fringing Christ Church Meadow. In the latter year, under an arrangement with the O.U.B.C., the Hall was able to lease more commodious and advantageously situated quarters at the nearer end of the University

THE ACQUISITION

13

-Boathouse itself These have served successive generations of oarsmen, their guests and supporters very happily for thirty years, but recently the certain threat of steeply rising rents as the years go by and the possibility of eventual extrusion had begun to make the long-term position highly precarious. In 1967, however, the fortunate opportunity arose of building a double boathouse, of the kind that has been almost universally adopted, on the more eastern of the two remaining sites on the strip of the Meadow between the Cherwell exit and the new cut. It was ascertained that Pembroke College was also interested in the project, and as a result of negotiations skilfully conducted by the then Senior Treasurer, Dr. D. C. M. Yardley, with the support of the Clubs, a mutually satisfactory arrangement was agreed between the two colleges. The design was entrusted to Kenneth Stevens and Associates, the architects of the Hall new buildings, and under the helpful eye of the present Senior Treasurer, Mr. A. I. Marsh, the construction went ahead so rapidly that the boathouse was completed in time to be used in Eights Week.

The official opening took place at an informal party on Sunday evening, l June, when after a brief speech Mr. J. L. Fage ceremonially broke the Hall flag from the mast and the Principal made a suitable response. The boathouse, the two halves of which provide each college with separate accommodation, is one of the most attractive and up-to-date on the river, and each section is fully equipped with all the necessary facilities, including a bar and storage space for boats.

Not unexpectedly, the cost has been extremely heavy, and has not only swallowed up the accumulated savings of Amalgamated Clubs but has condemned the clubs to a severely economical regimen for some years to come. Even so, a deficit of upwards of ÂŁ8,ooo remains to be paid, and the Senior Treasurer will be delighted to receive donations from, or (better still) to send forms of covenant to, Aularian oarsmen or aficionados of rowing who have not so far made a contribution.

ORONHYATEKHA, MOHAWK ON FRIDA y l NOVEMBER I 968 the dining hall was the scene of a colourful and, in its way, historic ceremony, for at a special luncheon arranged for the occasion Mr. Lou E. Probst, Supreme Chief Ranger of the lndependent Order of Foresters, presented to the Hall a portrait in oils of Oronhyatekha, sometime Chief of the Mohawk Indians. In 1860, when the Prince of Wales representing Queen Victoria made the first royal visit to Canada, Oronhyatekha, then a young medical student aged 20, was chosen to compose and present a loyal address (a contemporary copy survives in the Hall

archives) on behalf of 'the Chiefs, Sachems and Warriors of the Six Nations of Canada'. This made such an impression on the Prince that he at once interested himself in the young man and arranged for him to come to Oxford to continue his medical studies under Sir Henry Acland, his personal physician and at the time Regius Professor of Medicine. Oronhyatekha was admitted to the Hall, being matriculated on 6 May 1862, and after a year's residence returned to Canada to take his medical degree at Toronto. After working for several years as a doctor among his own people, he became consultant physician to the Independent Order of Foresters, and eventually made his career with the Order, becoming in time its first Supreme Chief Ranger. It was his energetic and businesslike leadership which not only placed the Order on a sound financial footing, but laid the foundations on which it was enabled to become one of the largest and most beneficent friendly societies in the world today. Not unnaturally, his memory is held in great veneration in the Order (a life-size bronze statue of him graces the twenty-first executive Boor of the head office at Don Mills, Ontario), and it was the discovery last year of his cmmection with the Hall that prompted the Supreme Chief Ranger to commission a portrait for presentation to his College. At the luncheon Mr. Probst, who was accompanied by his wife, Mr. D . ¡w. R. Carter (Assistant in England to the Supreme Chief Ranger), and Mr. S. Butterworth (also of the Order), made a characteristically felicitous speech, and in the course of his reply the Principal produced Oronhyatekha' s tomahawk, which had been presented to the Hall in 1932 by the widow of Thomas Outram Marshall, a young scholar of New College under whose charge Oronhyatekha had been placed when he arrived in the strange world of Oxford. In addition to those already mentioned the company at luncheon included Dr. Emden, several of the Fellows, the Presidents of the M.C.R. and the ].C.R., and a generous representation of graduate and undergraduate students. The portrait itself, the work of C. W. Kettlewell, the artist employed by the Canadian Government for historical paintings, depicts the youthful chieftain in the correct ceremonial costume of his period, armed with musket and tomahawk and wearing a head-dress of eagle feathers.

CARTER PRIZES ONE OF THE HAPPIEST and most gratifying results of the Oronhyatekha celebrations was the gift to the Hall by Mr. D. W.R. Carter, Deputy to the Supreme Chief Ranger of the Independent Order of Foresters, of an annual sum of money to be expended at the discretion of the Principal and Fellows. The Magazine joins in thanking

15

Mr. Carter for this generous gesture, which is clearly a token of the keen interest in the Hall and its affairs which his participation in the ceremonies of r November aroused in him. The Governing Body has decided to devote the income, in the first instance, to establishing two prizes to be awarded annually either for the best performance in the Preliminary Exam.ination or for a collection or an essay to be set not later than the end of the first long vacation in an undergraduate's course. The arrangement is that each year one prize will be awarded in each of two subjects, and to ensure fairness as well as simplicity of operation the various Honour Schools have been arranged in six groups and two of these will become eligible by rotation for awards each year. (Jurisprudence and subjects with classified Honour Moderations have been excluded because the Francis Bennion Prizes cater for the former, while men who obtain Firsts in the latter already qualify for prizes.) The system has already made a successful start, and Carter Prizes have been awarded to J.B. H. Swift (English) and I. R. Woodgate (Metallurgy).

THE COLLEGE COMMITTEE 968 the Governing Body decided that it ought to take positive steps to meet the growing demand, in Oxford as well as other universities, for greater participation by students in the government of their institutions. Relations between senior and junior members at the Hall have in general been excellent for as long as anyone can remember, and the latter have been able to exert influence on college policies through the J.C.R. and M.C.R. officers, the Amalgamated Clubs committee, the Food Committee, and other committees set up from time to time. Nevertheless the Governing Body felt it desirable, in the present situation, to take the initiative in proposing that some kind of more formal constitutional arrangements should be devised. An ad hoe Liaison Committee, consisting of the Principal (chairman), three senior members, the two Presidents, and three junior members met on 6 November to consider the matter and, if possible, formulate a scheme. On its recommendation, as subsequently accepted by the Governing Body, the J.C.R. and the M.C.R., a permanent College Committee was established consisting of the Principal, four other senior members, the two Presidents ex officio, four junior members elected by the J.C.R., and one junior member elected by the M.C.R. The College Committee is a committee of the Govern.ing Body, any member has the right to raise any matter affecting the life of the College, and the Committee has the same power of making recommenda~ tions as any other non-executive standing committee of the GovernIN TRINITY TERM I

16

ing Body; it has joint secretaries (one senior and one junior), and the agenda and minutes of meetings are posted in the J.C.R. and M.C.R. as well as being circulated to all members of the Committee and of the Governing Body. Since the beginning of the year the College Committee has held meetings twice in each term.

Of the two Senior Scholars elected in 1968, R. V. Jackson was elected to a Fellowship at All Souls in Michaelmas Term, and earlier this year was elected a City Councillor, while J. Prebble .was elected President of the Student Representative Council for Trinity Term and thus had the responsibility for voicing the Council's first reactions to the Hart Report. He was also elected President of the M.C.R. for 1969-70.

B

AWARDS AND A PROMOTION IN MICHAELMAS TERM last year c. T. w. Humfrey, who was promoted to an Exhibition in June 1968, was joint winner of the George Webb Medley (Junior) Prize.

THE SUMMER BALL-JUNE 2orn SOME 500 PEOPLE enjoyed the entertainment of the Ball this year.

In a splendid marquee, subtly and sensuously lit, the guests enjoyed five groups: The Fun, Ferris Wheel, Tuesday's Children, My Dear I9

Watson, and a steel band, with an excellent cabaret after midnight provided by an old Aularian, Nigel Pegram, who captivated his audience for an hour of the evening. On strolling into the graveyard, the guests were enchanted by the quieter music of a string quartet, whilst the Rose discotheque turned the Emden Room into an extravagance of lights and sound. An excellent meal was served in the Dining Hall, well camouflaged for the occasion with hundreds of paper flowers, balloons and netting. Whilst two of the groups were perhaps disappointing, the superb decorations and lighting more than compensated, and the record sales of champagne were an indication of the atmosphere of conviviality.

THE LONDON DINNER of Tuesday, January 14th, the clan gathered once again at Simpson's in the Strand for the annual London dinner of the Aularian Association. This year we were in even greater numbers than usual as the feast was being subsidised to the tune of 4/- a plate by the Association out of the inflated 'profits' of the previous year's junketings when many who had loyally paid in advance were unable to reach their goal because of the inclement weather-all Aularians have a keen eye for a bargain and this year it had got about there was to be roast duck instead of the traditional saddle of mutton.

When the Principal rose to propose the toast Floreat Aula his feelings were more than usually mixed-pleasure at having risen in the nick of time from his sick bed; disappointment at thus having been baulked in his desire to be 'the first distinguished Oxford Academic' to go down with Mao' s 'flu, and dismay at the appearance of a 'bottomless pit' which he had encountered in Queen's Lane on leaving his lodgings, the dangers of which hazard he has preached to countless generations of Aularians.

Once launched on the toast however the Principal soon found himself bemusing his audience in turn by his eloquence. To those of us who had perhaps felt guilty that the Hall's successes on the sports field were not matched by its achievements in Schools he brought reassurance-an Aularian, the first ever, had been elected to a Fellowship at All Souls, five ¡or seven Aularians (so many he had lost count) had gained first class honours degrees, and yet another had edited Cherwell. To those of us who were perhaps beginning to feel uneasily that the old order was maybe at last changing and not altogether for the best, he brought immediate cornfort-some of the old spirit remained-we had been successful in Cuppers, at Rugby, Soccer and Squash.

That the Hall, which ever aspect of its life, the sporting or the academic, might be temporarily in the ascendant, would continue to prosper and grow as it has throughout the whole of the Principal' s reign, we were left in no doubt. Tenders were out for yet more building work, including the transformation of St. Peter' s-in-the-East into a library and the construction of a boathouse on the north side of the Isis, to be shared with Pembroke. The Principal's 'final touch', an appeal for the necessary funds, convinced us all of the essential immutability of the occasion.

A very happy social evening was crowned for us all by the appearance of Dr. Emden triumphing once again over the vagaries of his 'cardiac apparatus'. He described himself as being like the 'ancient and extinct Dodo-on show in a booth on a fairground'.

MINUTES OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the St. Edmund Hall Association was held at Simpson's in the Strand, London, on Tuesday 14January, 1969, at 5.45 p.m. Mr. J.B. Allan (President) was in the Chair.

The Minutes of the previous Annual General Meeting were read, confirmed and signed. There was no matters arising.

The Hon. Treasurer drew the meeting's attention to the accounts as published in the Magazine, and enlarged briefly on them: the Steeple Cup had been purchased, and the excess of income over expenditure had been carried to the balance sheet. There were no comments from the meeting, and the report was duly proposed and seconded by Messrs. Farrand and Richards respectively, and accepted unanimously.

The President then went on to outline the Allocations made by the Executive Committee in June 1968, viz: £410 for the Magazine. £100 to be invested for 5 years towards the Directory Fund. £200 for the Scholarship Fund. £60 for the Sports Grant Fund. £ 60 for the Graham Hamilton Travel Fund. £ 100 for postage and administration.

These were approved.

The President also enlarged on the decision of the Committee to use the Reserve Fund of £ 1,000 to purchase a High Table-and possibly chairs-for the New Dining Hall. This met with general approval.

The retiring members of the Executive Committee-Messrs.

Fisher, Midgley, Day and Groves-were duly re-elected 'Nern.

Con.' Mr. B. Forrest (Hon. Treasurer) and Mr. J. Paul (Hon . .

Auditor) were elected; Mr. J. G. French (Hon. Secretary) was reelected-all without opposition.

THE

S.E.H. ASSOCIATION NORTHERN DINNER A DINNER ¡ for

Northern Members of the Association was held on Friday 4 October 1968 at Leeds Grammar School by courtesy of the Headmaster. The Principal being unable to attend, the Guest Speaker was the Revd. E. G. Midgley, M .A., B.Litt., Dean of the Hall and himself a Yorkshireman. The chair was taken by Alderman J. S. Tennant (matric. 1909), to whose encouragement these functions owe much. The Headmaster of Leeds Grammar School, Mr. E. E. Saben-Clare, and fifteen Aularians were present. As might be expected, it proved a festive and happy occasion.

It is hoped that a Northern Dinner will become an annual event, and indeed one has been planned for late September this year. The secretary is, however, conscious that interested Northern Aularians may have been inadvertently omitted from his mailing list. Any Aularian who did not receive an invitation to this dinner, or to the one arranged for September, but would be interested in future dinners should make contact with J. L. Scott, 10 Moor Park Mount, Headingley, Leeds 6, LS6 4BU.

THE REUNION of old members was held at the Hall on Saturday 28 June. There were present, representing those who had matriculated after 1950:-

The Executive Committee met in the afternoon in the Principal' s Lodgings and worked out the Agenda for the A.G.M. to be held before the London Dinner in January 1970. Evensong was held in the Chapel and the company drank sherry on the lawn in the glorious sunshine which always accompanies these occasions. In his speech the Principal spoke of the celebrations which had followed the winning of no fewer than six cups, removing any doubts that old members might have had that the sporting life of the Hall was declining. Appropriately Mr. Gullick was then presented with an inscribed silver plate on behalf of all the sportsmen of the Hall, past and present. The presentation was made by Michael Ralph who paid tribute to Mr. Gullick and the special interest which he had taken in this side of the Hall's life.

THE DEATHS

47

CLUBS AND SOCIETIES THE ESSAY SOCIETY

MICHAELMAS TERM President: F. H. HANBIDGE THE FIRST MEETING of the term was addressed by Mr. Douglas McDougall; his subject was 'Art Forgeries'. An interesting paper stimulated some self-abuse in the lush grassland of Aesthetics.

Mr. Bernard Thomas' subject was 'Beeswax' -the President's ear was afflicted therewith to the extent that he could not follow the Essayist's incoherent mumblings. Mr. Thomas has a scheme for growing potatoes on the Jungfrau.

'The Wisdom of St. Frideswide' from Mr. Jeremy Rycroft was a paean to the pig, formidably classical in subject-matter, form and style.

Mr. Hugh Anderson wrote on 'Tears from the Depth of some Divine Despair'; Mr. Anderson's mind is as shallow as our Despair at it is profound. Nevertheless, an erratically reasoned paper led to a serious discussion of Apartheid.

Failing to find an essayist, the President himself wrote the next paper on the Motor-Car entitled 'A leaden brain and a Copper Beard'. Mr. Donald Easton kindly took the chair.

Mr. Martin Gilbert of Merton, official biographer of Winston Churchill, addressed the Dinner Meeting. His Churchilliana was, as might be expected, formidably grounded in detail; but it was also fresh in presentation, cogent in exposition and admirably sympathetic in approach without a suspicion of 'Heronkultus'.

The Presidential paper for the Port and Dessert Meeting was mostly concerned with Education. This meeting was notable for the President's minutes of the previous meeting being in octosyllabic couplets and the election to Presidency of Mr. Jeremy Rycroft.

These facts have nothing in common.

F.H.H.

HILARY TERM 1969 President: J. J. R. RYCROFT 'oDERUNT HILAREM TRISTES' but the Society enjoyed a jocund term and lent its ear to hear some of the joys of spring. G. D. Salter's 'Who is Ernest B. Schroedsack' presented horror films as kicks for the thick-plebeian joys. J. H. Lovell, forgetting love, read brilliantly on Chekov and the Absurd in his 'Going Down', and 48

S. J. Maxwell's , crumbling 'Seven Pillars of Wisdom' told of totalitarianism's inevitable march. But Z. J. Qureshi sought the spring of man's desire: his 'Make-up; Make ease' explained his views on sex and what the mask may do. N. Osborne flicked from conjugal love to linguistics-a well-tongued 'Bitch in Time'.

Professor Hart, the Dinner Meeting guest, talked not of Jurisprudence but its lack in the relationships and lives of those in Oxford in the thirties. The President with his 'Merde' rang out spring-time, speaking wittily of naught, and naughtily of wit-as he loves to do.

JJ.R.R.

TRINITY TERM President: M. C. V. SPENCER

ELLIS

THE MEETINGS this term have, without exception, been very well attended. A contributary fact to this may well have been the essays.

Mr. Roger Doulton entertained and provoked the Society with his patriotic essay 'Loos'. He was followed by Mr. Patrick Little who completely nonplussed and thoroughly amused the Society with an essay about nothing. The title, for the sake of the record, was 'Country Matters'.

Mr. Nicholas Ferguson's title and theme was 'Take up the White Man's burden'. This he did, with much gusto and even more port.

In 'Enchanted Trifle' Mr. John Mabbett, in an omniscient mood, bemoaned his being de-humanised, and admitted its inevitability.

For the Dinner Meeting the Society, through a clash of dates, and not, as a small group of politically-motivated people have been saying, through the gross inefficiency of the President, was obliged to decamp to La Sorbonne Restaurant. Mr. Kenneth Allsop was the guest of honour. Mr. Allsop spoke 'loosely about "Journalism", with an eye to the free-for-all afterwards'. After some rather general questions on the subject, the meeting livened up, and the guest was kept very busy in answering a whole barrage of inquiries, each more specifically aimed than the last.

The sixth meeting of term was informed that Mr. Philip Robinson had never recovered from seeing his childhood sweetheart, worshipped from afar, come sadly to grief in the role of prima ballerina in a junior school concert. His essay 'The Margate Sealion' examined failures. The discussion which followed was notable for Mr. Ferguson's demonstration of how to set up an argument, and then knock it down before anybody else had time to do so.

A great and good member of the Society once remarked that: 'There are only three subjects upon which essays have been, or ever will D

49

be written: God, Aesthetics, and "What I did in the Holidays" . ' Feeling, presumably, that his essay fell into the last of these categories, the President's offering, 'Your Awful Wedded Wife', was based, slightly, on Female Emancipation.

M.C.V.S.E.

THE MUSIC SOCIETY Secretary: S. H. CARLESTON THIS YEAR the Music Society, owing to certain unfortunate but not entirely unforeseen circumstances, was in a position to produce only two public concerts. The first of these took place on February 27th, in the University Church of St. Mary the Virgin, and comprised a selection of Bavarian Music of the 16th century. The central work of the programme was the 'Missa super "le ne menge poinct de porcq" ' by Lassus. Other works included a number of songs

by Senfl and a set of lntradas by Hassler.

The summer concert was given in the Front Quad on 12th June, and featured a String Quartet made up entirely of members of the Hall. The Choral Society provided performances of Bartok' s '4 Slovak Folksongs' and a newly-commissioned cantata by Maxwell T. Crabbe, one of the most promising of today's young composers.

The concert, which also included works by Stravinsky, Webern and Hindemith, ended with a set of orignial variations on one of Beethoven's most pregnant creations, the well-known Minuet in G. S.H.C.

THE JOHN OLDHAM SOCIETY WITH AN INFLUX of willing new actors into the Hall in 1969, the Society's activities this year have been exceptionally vigorous. For the Cuppers Drama Competition in the Michaelmas Term, the play chosen was When Is A Door Not A Door, by John Arden.

Originally written for students of drama at Bristol University, this is a short one act farce about labour relations. The play was performed in Newman Rooms, and although it failed to win any honours, the judges seemed to approve quite favourably. N. Pinn directed, and we were joined by actresses from St. Hugh' s and Somerville, from out of which co-operation at least one permanent romance has developed.

The main activity of the year has been the joint production with St. Hilda's of As You Like It, in the Trinity Term. This was performed in the idyllic setting of St. Hilda' s Meadows, and apart from the fierce and prolonged rainstorm which routed the dress-rehearsal, 50

the weather could hardly have been more benevolent. The production ran from Tuesday to Saturday of Sixth Week (3-7 June), with matinees on Wednesday and Saturday, and was a great success; actors and audience alike were fortified by the syllabub served during the interval. D. Cottington, this term's President, directed, and we were joined by Tim Crow and Chris Kite from New College, Nicholas Roche from Exeter, Phillip Cornell from Keble, John Flint (playing Jaques) from Trinity, Susan Kirkman and Robyn Sweet from Lady Margaret Hall, and Susan Hadman from Somerville, who played Rosalind.

T.K. THE HEARNE SOCIETY

President: D. W. ALDER Secretary: D. A. POSTLES DESPITE THE FLUCTUATIONS in the attendances of meetings, the Society has had a reasonably successful year. Amalgamated Clubs agreed to subsidize the Society's finances, and female guests attended the Annual Dinner.

The papers read to the Society have been consistently of very high standard and entertaining. At the inaugural meeting of Michaelmas Term, Mr. H. G. Pitt presented a wildly humorous paper on the 'Origins of the Mormons', Mr. Pitt (of Worcester College) having done casual research in the Salt Lake region. Mr. Pitt was ably followed by the Ex-Presidential address of Mr. C. Hart, whose paper entitled 'The Rise of American Democracy' stimulated a lively discussion in the Eastgate. Despite the abysmal attendance, the final meeting of Michaelmas Term proved to be the most informative and interesting. At this meeting Mr. H. T. Willetts (St. Antony's) analysed Modern Russian history and politics in his perceptive talk on 'Russia 1905-30: Political Illusions and Social Realities'.

Hilary Term, perhaps, was the turn of the comics. Mr. C. E. Stevens (Magdalen) acted as clown-in-chief, despite the nonprovision of whiskey to his chagrin. His paper on 'What was wrong with Roman Britain' provided the occasion for a general avalanche against conformism. The paper of Mr. M. Madagan, humorous and lucid, narrated the events of the 'Four Marriages of Leo the Wise', and also provided a keen insight into the institutions of the Byzantine Empire.

Finally, the Annual Dinner witnessed Part II of the Balliol lesson in historiography, although members probably learnt more from 51

Mr. C. Hill in 1968. Mr. R. Cobb's address reiterated the alcoholic interpretation of history with special reference to the French Revolution. The Society extends its gratitude to the retiring President for his constant attention and hard work. The officers for next year are D. A. Postles (President) and R. Brooks (Secretary).

THE LIDDON SOCIETY President: D. A. FORBES Secretary: R. G. R. MUNDAY THIS YEAR the Liddon Society has continued along lines similar to those newly set last year. We have had a diversity of talks, beginning with one on Minstrels and Troubadors, and continuing with the railway systems of Trinidad and Tobago; a tour of America in an Austin Seven; and a talk on nonsense verse; by David Walston, David Lane, John Coleman, and Paul Turner respectively. The annual Ghost Talk, dealing this time more strictly with light thrown upon this subject by psychical research, was given by Chancellor E. Garth Moore; and once again the success of this meeting was increased by the Dean's generosity in allowing us to use his room.

In addition to the talks, we had one meeting in which we listened to the religious folk songs of Hayward Osborne, which will shortly be released as an E.P. The weekly lunch-time pray-in has continued as the religious centre of the Society, and we have again laid on two children's parties, one at Christmas, and one at the end of the Summer term, both for under-privileged children. As regards the former we would like to extend our thanks to those rn.ern.bers of the J.C.R. who contributed nearly ÂŁ5 towards this.

ART COMMITTEE GOINGS ON President: C. C. HIRD Secretary: J. MABBETT IN ADDITION TO the non-stop, mobile exhibition presented to the College by our multi-coloured President Hird, three exhibitions have been held this year.

Ralph Steadman' s original drawings, made to illustrate a recently published edition of' Alice in Wonderland' comprised the first.

52

Two more followed in Hilary Term_. Batiks by Ditz Brown and high-fired Staffordshire pottery by Glynn Hugo made up the first, and a dozen large, oil-painted car-canvases by Reading ambulance driver Peter Page, the second.

We would like to thank the assorted helpers who assisted in mounting these exhibitions. Thanks are also due to those who came to peer, and to those who came to the previews to drink in more than Cyril' s mulied claret.

THE BOAT CLUB Captain: G. P. LEWIS Hon. Sec.: D. H. ANDERSON Treasurer: S. J. MAXWELL THE BOAT CLUB has had a successful season for all that may be said against it. It has not featured amongst the spotlights, but then it was not cut out to do that. Instead it has done well to adapt itself to its new image of a home-trained boat club, and as such has laid useful ground-work for even harder times ahead. There has been difficulty in holding the many abnormally high places on the river, but the club has not plummetted. Rather crews have sorted themselves out into their rightful positions and should be free to enjoy properly matched competition in the year ahead. This brighter state of affairs has exhibited itself in the adequate success gained by our worries in outside regattas. Above all else the club has cause to celebrate the acquisition of its own boathouse, for which great new asset it thanks its old members, the College and the many others who worked to make it possible.

MICHAELA1AS TERM Rowing began efficiently with before term training, and by the time of the O.U.B.C. 'Fours Championships', the Hall could boast three respectable crews. These were made up of what remained of last year's clientele, supplemented by the three freshmen who reached us with previous rowing experience. lSt Crew G. P. Lewis (Bow) A. D. Hill N. S. Blackwell K. S. Hobbs Coach: W. Smith

2nd Crew D. Vickers (Bow) S.]. Maxwell G. C. Cranmer D. H. Anderson (Stroke) Coach: G. P. Lewis 53

3rd Crew N. Johnson R. Brandwood A. Yarrow ]. L. Seccombe Coach:D.H.Anderson

The Ist crew w1fortunately lacked outside coaching, and this probably accounted for their lack of polish which might have sent them to greater heights. In the first row1d they beat Keble II, but in the second they were beaten in turn by a strong Balliol crew.

The 2nd crew lost in the first round to Worcester 1, and the 3rd crew to Trinity.

The situation was more encouraging when the club next took to the water in the Christ Church Regatta. Our novice crew rowed well to get through to the semi-finals where they were beaten narrowly by the eventual winners. G. P. Lewis excelled himself by winning the New College Sculls.

The following were nominated during this term for University Trial VIIl's: G. P. Lewis, N. S. Blackwell, K. S. Hobbs, G. C. Cranmer, J. Swift. G. Cranmer rowed for Isis II for the greater part of the season and J. Swift earned a place as cox of Isis I.

HILARY TERM Once again the club began enthusiastically by coming up early.

We rowed a first in the Gods tow reach where we were coached

by Richard Simmonds, and by the time we moved back to Isis our almost completely novice element had been moulded into a reasonable crew. We entered in the Junior University Eights in the London Rowing Club Regatta, and under very wary conditions managed to row through to win the finals. For the last couple of weeks training Ken Hobbs took over training and managed to prepare us well for the T orpids. In these we went up two places thus making up for our loss in the previous year. By the time of racing the 2nd crew were still badly inexperienced and went down several places.

The First Torpid was: D. Vickers (Bow) J. L. Seccombe N.Johnson C. Fay G. C. Cranmer

S. J. Maxwell D. H. Anderson G. P. Lewis (Stroke) J. Swift (Cox)

TRINITY TERM The Hall Ist Summer VIII got under way smartly with training at Henley a week before the beginning of term. We were very fortunate to have coaching us the ex-Olympic oarsman Sidney Rand. Rowing five days a week with one day back at Oxford in small boats, we made good progress. Meanwhile, on the home river 54

the 2nd VIII was getting under way under the guidance of Peter Fisher, an old Durham University oarsman. A schools eight followed a more leisurely programme which we can only hope paid dividends in their exams. For the 4th, 5th and 6th boats there was more enthusiasm than natural skill. The Hilarians helpfully :filled a borrowed St. Catz. boat after sinking all available Hall boats. The remaining oarsmen consisted of soccer players and economists, who in fact showed great promise, and should rise, we hope, to more serious rowing next season.

The rst crew's Henley training culminated in a trip to the Thames Ditton regatta. There they managed to beat Clare College in the semi-:finals but were beaten by a strong Molesey Club crew in the finals. Their time proved to be one of the fastest of the day.

After this training was taken over by the old Hall oarsman Culain Morris.

In the 'Eights' the rst crew was again challenged by heavy competition. On the :first night they managed to row over but on the second were caught by Christ Church after a struggle all the way up the Green Bank. On the last two nights they rowed over again ahead of Oriel and in increasingly better style.

The 2nd crew did not have an enjoyable row but deserve comm endation for some hard work. Of their number only one man had been in a boat before coming up to the Hall and several of them not at all until a couple of months beforehand-a situation unprecedented in the annals ofHall 2nd crews. While this crew suffered this term, we hope that they have gained experience to form a new and sound core to the Boat Club next term. ist

It was on a slightly uneasy note of hilarity that the club ended the season with the opening of its new boathouse. The way to the future did not show as triumphantly clear, but on the other hand the opening of a new boathouse did not seem an event completely out of place. This new hat presents the club with a challenge which

55

it has the enthusiasm to meet together with the correct amount of realism. As 1 say farewell to the last of our stalwarts I hold confidence in our officers newly appointed for the coming season. ]. B. H. Swift has been elected Captain; D. Vickers takes over as Secretary; and N. Johnston as Treasurer.

THE CRICKET CLUB Captain : S.]. MANNERS Secretary: S. R. PORTER THE CRICKET CLUB had a fairly good season although the weather early in term could have been better. Cuppers was won again despite having the uses of the Parks' stars for only one game. The final against Merton was won handsomely by 139 runs-Spray leaving the field early in both sessions-presumably to bolster the profits of the beer tent.

Yet again the depth of Hall cricket allowed us to field a useful side on most occasions and defeats were largely avoided-although it is lamentable to recall that we sometimes resorted to the Ridley method.

S.R.P.

THE ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL CLUB Captain: I. C. ROBERTSON Secretary: M. GOODFELLOW THE CLUB maintained its high standard. In Michaelmas Term, the League First XI carried off the Championship, losing only once.

Particularly creditable was the 5-1 victory over Exeter that clinched the honours.

The Second Xl, although not achieving the same success, ensured a respectable league position with a late run of victories.

In Hilary Term, the club succeeded in retaining the University Cuppers for the sixth consecutive year. Only two goals were conceded in five matches, but wins over Exeter, Westminster and Magdalen in the Final were not achieved without difficulty.

Weakened by loss of players to the University and the Centaurs, the Club obviously found it impossible to maintain the same level of performance in friendly matches, and few were won. The Old Aularian match resulted in a 2-1 defeat.

Hall colours were awarded to: R. Wallington, A. Thompson, P. Emmott, I. Stuart, N. Akrill, A. Jenkins and D. Theobald.

Officials elected for season 1969/70 are: Captain: M. H. Jennings; Secretary : I. Stuart.

THE RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB President: P. A. D. GRIFFITHS Captain: P. A. D. GRIFFITHS League Captain: J. D. SHORTRIDGE Secretaries: P. G. FRAWLEY and M. E. YOUNG

MICHAELMAS TERM THE LEAGUE SIDE had a successful season. The League Championship was retained convincingly. Of the sixteen matches planned, two were cancelled, two were walkovers, and from the remaining twelve, eight were won, three lost, and one drawn. A total of 242 points were scored. The heaviest defeat was inflicted by Churchill College, Cambridge, at Cambridge. The Hall, however, were very heavily weakened through absences due to prior arrangements, and injuries. J. D. Shortridge captained the side well, instilling enthusiasm into the members. The 2nd XV had a disappointing season losing five matches, drawing one, and winning one. They were relegated to the Fourth Division.

HILARY TERM Cuppers were again won with a convincing win over Merton College in the final, despite the presence of C. R. Laidlaw and three other Blues. This was the hardest match but was won decisively by one goal, two tries, and a dropped goal, to nil. A record number of points were scored in the five matches played, 170 points scored for, and only 15 points against. P. A. D. Griffiths coached and led the side admirably. M. R. Tanner organized the sevens for the close of the season, and entered the Oxfordshire sevens, losing in the early rounds. The Peterborough sevens were again entered by the Hall, current holders at the time, but bad tackling let the side down in the semi-final which was lost. An O xford Thursday seven, with strong Hall representation, entered the Coventry sevens and defeated a Northampton seven with two internationals, before losing in the semi-final.

Colours were awarded to: M. E. Young, E. J. Rigg, A. N. Ridley, M. G. Heal, M. G. Roberts, A. S. Barnes, M. C. V. Spencer Ellis.

E.J.R.

THE HOCKEY CLUB Captain: P. EBDEN Secretary: C. GAUTREY THIS w AS A co on but disappointing year for Hall hockey. Good, in that the side reached the final of Cuppers but disappointing 57

because even after a replay and extra time we failed to win the vital game against a Keble side which was inferior to our own but which knowing its shortcomings played out two o-o draws by relying on a massed defence which would have done credit to any continental football team. Earlier in the term, despite the efforts of P. Ebden, an otherwise all Freshman team narrowly failed to reach the final four of the Keble six-a-sides and in the Easter we lost our First Division league title in a rain-ruined league due largely to an early defeat by Keble and to the fact that due to University and Occasional commitments we were too rarely able to field anything like a full side.

Officers for next season are: Captain: C. Gautrey; Secretary: M. Cave-Brown-Cave.

M.A.C-B-C.

THE HILARIANS Captain: D.R. H. O'R.EGAN Secretary: G. A. D. McPHERSON THE HILARIANS have been an industrious side this year, industrious, but at the same time diffuse. Alas, our dynamic captain was injured throughout the duration of the Michaelmas season, but the team carried on despite this setback. We fought bravely against the Fitzbilly Shrimps, but against overwhelming odds. A. Brogden set a magnificent example to us all by producing devastating up-andunders from inside his own 25. We lost 36-36.

By the Hilary term, after extensive surgery, the Captain had made a complete recovery and was training hard, three or four times an hour. Through his enthusiastic vitality, the old members, whose spirit had been completely shattered by last term's ignominious defeat, rallied round and soon the old club was stronger than ever before. On 22 February we met the Old Hilarians in the Parks, and there ensued a terrible battle of guile and cunning against sheer talent. Thanks to brilliant play and cunning camouflage by the captain, who was, by this time, superbly fit, and the fact that the referee has since been elected next year's captain, we thrashed them 38-23.

G.A.D. McP.

THE ATHLETICS CLUB Captain:]. ADLEY THIS SEASON has been a most successful one for Hall athletics; all last season's weaknesses have been filled and we now have a strong team.

During the cross-country season we won both the League and 58

Cuppers easily. In the Imperial College Road Relay at Hyde Park the Hall came r8th of 105 teams from the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Belgium. We also came 2nd in our own road relay at Oxford and 5th in the Selwyn College Road Relay at Cambridge.

M. Johns and M. Richards were selected for the Blues team against Cambridge whilst A. Moore, C. Hudson and J. Adley ran for the Tortoises. At the end of the season A. Moore and J. Adley were elected Secretary of O.U. Cross-Country Sections and Captain of Tortoises respectively.

In the Athletics arena we had a disappointing start to the season losing both relay and field events cuppers. This temporary set-back was overcome by the summer when we triumphed over St. Catherine' s by three points in Cuppers; this was one of the most exciting Finals ever, with victory only assured by the last event. E. Osborne, H. Richards, C. Balchin, C. Hudson, R. Speed and R. Lees were selected for the Varsity Match with E. Osborne winning the 100 yds.

D. O'Regan, P. Hathaway, M. Johns and A. Moore were selected for the Centipedes match against Alverstone. Mention must also be made of A. Moore' s selection for the England Games Cross-Country team and his victory in the 10,000 metres at the B.U.S.F. Champion¡ ships.

Colours were awarded to: C. Balchin, C. Hudson, H. Richards, A. Moore, R. Grey, J. Adley, P. Mitchell, R. Lees, E. Osborne.

THE LAWN TENNIS CLUB

Captain: P. M. CRYSTAL Secretary: R. M. WEINBERG THE 1969 SEASON was marked by the Hall's triumphant victory in Tennis Cuppers after an exciting final match against a strong Exeter team. The Hall was fortunate in being able to call upon players of high calibre even when Schools and other incidents removed some from the scene.

The league team on the other hand did not have a too successful term's play and was perhaps somewhat lucky to escape relegation to the second division from which it had been promoted to the first only last season. The vagaries of the weather causing matches to be postponed until the latter half of the term and the demands of Schools were principally responsible for this.

The Principal' s handicap doubles tournament was eventually won

by Messrs. Wilmer and Eames who defeated Messrs. Boorman and Salter in the final.

59

Hall colours were awarded to: M. C. Bonello, ]. A. S. Brogdon, J.M. Landaw, C. Marmont and P. G. A. Montgomery.

I. L. Hewitt was captain of the O.U.L.T.C. and played against Cambridge. ]. A. S. Brogdon and R. M. Weinberg played for O.U. Penguins L.T.C. against Cambridge.

For the season 1970 R. M. Weinberg has been elected captain and]. N. Landaw secretary.

R.M.W.

THE SWIMMING CLUB Captain: M. B. FoxoN THE HALL SWIMMING CLUB has had a rather more active season than oflate.

In Michaelmas term some good results were gained in Water-Polo Cuppers, the Hall being beaten 4-1 in the semi-final by St. Catherine' s, who went on to win the final 6- I. ln Swimming Cuppers in Trinity term the Hall was placed fifth, a creditable performance against some very strong teams. S. Murray, M. Lobb and M. Foxon reached the finals in this competition.

It is to be hoped that the increased interest in swimming will continue next year.

Colours were awarded to: M. Lobb and S. Murray.

M.B.F. THE CROQUET CLUB President: P. V. ROBINSON Acting Secretary: M. C. V. SPENCER ELLIS PRESUMABLY because of the poor weather this term, the University Authorities made no arrangements for Cuppers to take place.

This was a particular disappointment, as we had a basis of a good team in the shape of at least eight competent players. One friendly match was played against St. Hilda' s. The Hall's superiority soon became obvious, and the pairs were reformed with the result that the match became even more friendly, and no fit subject for such a report as this.

M.C.V.S.E. THE TABLE TENNIS CLUB Captain: A.]. MIDDLETON Secretary: A. BOORMAN SINCE GAINING PROMOTION last year, the first and second teams have consolidated their positions but unfortunately our third team 60

was relegated. Nevertheless, with facilities in our new buildings I feel confident that we can further improve our standard which, in College games, was lowered by the loss of R. S. Repper, the InterCollege League secretary, and A. Boorman, who were unable to play in most of the games. I should like to thank all the players for performing so ably, without any home facilities.

THE SADDLE CLUB continues to prosper with several more recruits joining during the year. Improved facilities (a new practice ring and more instructors) have widened the range of activities available, nor have we been restricted by foot and mouth this year.

THE CHESS CLUB Secretary: M. F. CUNNINGHAM

IN A VERY SUCCESSFUL SEASON the Hall team came top of Division III of the College League by winning all its matches and is consequently promoted for the second season in succession.

In Cuppers, a 3!-2! win against Merton in the first round brought the team against the very strong Pembroke side, and the match was lost 1-5.

A new feature of University chess this year was the LightningChess all-play-all tournament, which the Hall entered and won against some very stro~g opposition.

M.F.C.

CYCLING CYCLING is something of a minority sport at Oxford, with very little participation at College level, the Hall providing one member of the University's five-man racing team this season. This year, however, the University Cycling Club decided that there were 61

enough racing cyclists arotmd to make the re-introduction of Cycling Cuppers worthwhile, and organised a IO mile time trial (under R.T.T.C. regulations) over the course at Stadhampton for 20 May. Colleges were asked to enter teams of two, the times of the two riders being added. The turn-out was disappointingly small but the Hall rose magnificently to the occasion, providing six of the fifteen riders competing. Roger Williams, the Hall's only experienced time-triallist, proved his claim to be the fourth fastest man in the University, made in the Oxbridge match a week before, in spite of being held up for ten seconds by a most unhelpful bus, while Alastair Forbes, also from the Hall, closely followed him into _ fifth position.

St. Peter's, with two of the University racing team, very predictably won the event, but with the Hall only 40 seconds behind: the Hall teams came 2nd, 3rd, and 5th, with Univ. 4th and Jesus 6th.
