ST. EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE Vol. IX, No. 5

OCTOBER 1970 EDITOR 1969-70: S. K. HURST

THE PRINCIPAL AND FELLOWS AT THE INVITATION of Dr. Michael Ramsey, the Principal prepared the Archbishop of Canterbury's Lent Book for 1970; it appeared in February, with a foreword by the Archbishop, under the title Aspects of the Passion. On 4 November 1969 Dr. Kelly delivered the Charles Gore Memorial Lecture in Westminster Abbey. Early in Trinity Term he visited Rome to take part in the inaugural ceremonies of a new institute of patristic studies, to be known as the Augustinianum, which has been established under the aegis of the Pontifical Lateran University. Pope Paul VI opened and blessed the Institute on Monday 4 May, and on the following three days lectures were delivered by Cardinal Pellegrino, Archbishop of Turin, by Dr. Kelly (on 'Patristic Studies and the Ecumenical Movement'), and by Professor Othmar Perler, of the University of Fribourg.

The Revd. E. G. Midgley, on returning from sabbatical leave in October 1969, succeeded Mr. C. F. W . R. Gullick as Vice-Principal; he was also Acting Chaplain during 1969-70, while Mr. Cowdrey was on sabbatical leave, and being Dean as well he thus grasped with a single hand the spiritual and secular swords. Dr. D. C. M. Yardley, who visited Canada in summer 1969 and addressed the International and Comparative Law Symposium in Ottawa, was in the autumn appointed by the Lord Chancellor as Chairman of the National Insurance Local Appeals Tribunal for the Oxford area. He addressed the Institute of Rent Officers in London in September 1969, and ended his term as Chairman of the Oxford City Library Committee in June. Mr. R. E. Alton was elected to the Board of the Faculty of English Language and Literature. Dr. R. B. Mitchell has accepted an invitation to join the international panel of a new periodical, Anglo-Saxon England, to be published by the Cambridge University I

tical Neurology (Blackwells, 1963), as well as of a host of articles of distinction in learned journals. It is no secret that Dr. Matthews has acquired an international reputation in his chosen field, and is reckoned by many one of the best British neurologists of this era.

The Magazine congratulates him on his election and welcomes him to the Hall.

NEW FELLOWSHIPS YEAR's MAGAZINE contained the announcement of Mr. C. F. W. R. Gullick' s retirement, to take effect on 3 l December 1969. As the time drew near, the Governing Body was at first minded, in pursuance of its usual policy in the case of Fellows who retire after a lengthy period of service, to elect him to an Emeritus Fellowship, but desisted when it received a trustworthy hint that, if it were disposed to honour him in some such way, he himself would much prefer to be appointed to a non-stipendiary Research Fellowship.

The Magazine understands that his preferment was dictated by his resolve to use his retirement for continuing research in his chosen field, and his feeling that the title of Research Fellow was more expressive of this. The Governing Body hastened to elect him to this onerous office, which he has now held since l January, and the Magazine ventures to congratulate him on his appointment.

The Magazine also extends a warm welcome to two other scholars who have been elected to Fellowships, their appointment dating in both cases from l January. Christopher Jon Wells, M.A., has been elected to a Tutorial Fellowship in Modern Languages (Medieval German). Mr. Wells, who obtained a First in Modern Languages at Worcester College in 1965, has studied at the Universities ofVierina and of Kiel, and held a Fellowship by Examination at Magdalen from 1967 to 1968. Since the latter year he has been University Lecturer in German Philology and Medieval Literature, and is engaged in research into the West Frankish dialect.

Christopher Edwin Phelps; M.A. , D.Phil., was elected to a Senior Research Fellowship. Dr. Phelps is a graduate (Mathematics) of Peterhouse, Cambridge, who moved to Peterhouse' s sister college, Merton, and obtained his D.Phil. in Computing. From 1957 to 1959 he was with Ferranti's (Computers) Ltd., concerned with the design of basic machine programmes for the Mercury Computer; and since 1959 he has been at the O.U. Computing Laboratory, first as Departmental Research Assistant and then as Senior Research Officer.

Both Mr. Wells and Dr. Phelps have already entered very fully into the tutorial and general life of the College, and have strengthened and enriched its academic equipment by covering fields where there were formerly gaps.

NEW LECTURERSHlPS of the Hall has been reinforced this past summer by the appointment to non:-stipendiary Lecturerships of three holders of University or Departmental posts. Andrew Shaw Goudie, B.A., formerly of Trinity Hall, Cambridge, who is Departmental Demonstrator in Geomorphology, has been appointed Lecturer in Geography and should be able to provide useful assistance on the physical side of that School. Peter John Forsyth, a graduate of the University of Sydney (where he obtained the degrees ofB.Ec. and M.Ec.), has been appointed Lecturer in Economics. A student of Nuffield College, the Board of the Faculty of Social Studies, with the approval of the General Board, recently appointed him to aJunior Research Fellowship in the Economics and Organization of Transport. Stephen Wigham Richardson, M.A., D.Phil. (New College), who has recently been lecturing at the Grant Institute of Geology at the University of Edinburgh, and has returned to Oxford to take up a University Lecturership in Geology, has been made Lecturer in that subject. He is not unfamiliar with the Hall, having undertaken some teaching for Dr. Oxburgh before moving to the northern capital.

THE TEACHING STRENGTH

BURSARIAL CHANGES last year the Governing Body, on the suggesof the two Fellbws in English, invited Mr. R. E. Alton to tion become, as from r October 1970, an Official Fellow and Tutor in English, and he accepted the appointment, resigning from his position as Bursar. The need for a third Fellow in English had been underlined by recent changes in the syllabus of the English Honour School and by the departure of the Lecturer in English Language (Mr. E. P. Wilson). At the same time the Go".erning Body decided that it was appropriate, in view of the enlargement of the site and buildings and the greatly increased administrative burden, that the Hall, like most other colleges, should have both a full-time Domestic Bursar and a Finance or Investments Bursar. It was therefore agreed that, as from r October, Mr. Alton should be Investments Bursar, with oversight of the Hall's property and external income, and that steps should be taken to advertise for a Domestic Bursar, with responsibility for the day-to-day running of the College on the domestic side. In February the Principal and Fellows interviewed a short list compiled from the gratifyingly large number of applicants, and appointed Rear Admiral George Cunningham Leslie, C.B., O.B.E., at the same time electing him to a Fellowship, on the understanding IN MICHAELMAS TERM

4

that he would enter on his office on l October or such earlier date as h.e could conveniently manage. . .

It will be recalled that Mr. Alton, himself an Aularian, was appointed Bursar in March 1953 and took up his duties on l September of that year; in Nove1nber he was elected to a Fellowship. As well as being Bursar, with both financial and domestic responsibilities, he has from the start been Le.c turer of the Hall in English, and successive generations of undergraduates can testify to his inspiring work as a tutor. He has also been, and remains, a University Lecturer in English. The Hall owes him a great debt as Bursar; his tenure of office has seen a steady improvement of its finances, the raising of Fellows' stipends to a level comparable with those of much richer societies, and an all-round expansion boldly and successfully carried out'. One of the most striking of his achievements was the settlement he was able to negotiate in 1968 with the University Contributions Committee on the thorny question of 'initial endowments' ; the Hall will reap the benefits of this for many years to come.

Rear Admiral Leslie went to school at Uppingham, joined the Royal Navy in 1938, and has spent in all seventeen years at sea, a large part of this time as second-in-command or in command.

During his career he has had considerable experience of the maintenance of buildings and their fittings, and as Commodore of Barracks he has had special responsibility for the welfare of serving men and their families. Most recently he has been in Brussels at NATO Headquarters, acting as the representative in Europe of the American Admiral who is Supreme Allied Commander Atlantic. The job of Domestic Bursar is an arduous and delicate one, calling for a variety of special gifts, but he can be sure of the sincere good wishes of Aularians as he tackles them.

ACTING BURSAR had been granted sabbatical leave from l April until l October, the Governing Body had to find a suitable person to carry out the Bursar's functions for that period. At first it was hoped, somewhat optimistically, that the new Domestic Bursar might be in the saddle by the time Mr. Alton's leave began, but when this proved impossible various solutions were considered. The idea wa.s even canvassed that the several jobs devolving upon the Bursar might be shared out among three, or perhaps four, teaching Fellows. In the event the Governing Body decided to invite Mr. C. F. W. R. Gullick to emerge from his active retirement as a Research Fellow and become Acting Bursar (both Finance and Domestic) for six months. Mr. Gullick, with characteristic loyalty, accepted the

challenge, and throughout the spring, summer and autumn spared neither time nor effort to ensure the continued smooth running of the complex economy of the Hall in all its aspects. The Magazine fears that the demands made upon him may have been greater than a locum tenens had reason to expect, but he has assuredly earned the sincere thanks of Fellows, undergraduates and domestic staff for the efficiency, patience, tact and cheerfulness with which he fulfilled his unaccustomed role.

HISTORIC OCCASIONS TWO MEMORABLE FUNCTIONS were held on Friday 26 and Saturday 27 Jc,ne respectively. The first was the official opening of the Wolfson Hall and Phase II of the new buildings by Lady Wolfson, followed by a luncheon in the hall for the Principal and Fellows and their guests. It had been agreed that the occasion should be a domestic and relatively informal one, but the company included, in addition to the majority of the Fellows and their wives, the Visitor (Mr. Harold Macmillan), Sir Isaac and Lady Wolfson, the Vice-Chancellor (in his capacity as a Wolfson Trustee) and Mrs. Bullock, Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Wolfson, Major-General A. R. Leakey and Professor A. L. Goodhart (also Wolfson Trustees) and their wives, Captain D. E. Myers (Sir Isaac's personal assistant), Dr. A. B. Emden, the President of the St. Edmund Hall Association and Mrs.]. B. Allan, Professor G. W. Series and Mrs. Series, the President of the Junior Common Room (Mr.]. A. S. Brogdon), and the Steward of the Middle Common Room (Mr. C. K. Fay). There were also present Mr. Gilbert Howes, the architect who designed the buildings, and Mrs. Howes, and Mr. and Mrs. K. A. Stevens, of the firm of Kenneth Stevens and Associates; Mr. and Mrs. N . Collisson, of Norman Collisson Construction Group Ltd.; Mr. H. ]. Ridge, Quantity Surveyor, with Mrs. Ridge; Mr. W. G. Curtin and Mr. H. W. Prole, representing the Consulting Engineers, with their wives; Mr. F. S. ]. Harding, Clerk ofWorks, and Mrs. Harding; and Mr. R. Cox, Site Foreman, with Mrs. Cox. The company assembled for drinks in the new ].C.R. and Party Room, and at r.15 p.m. gathered in and around the foyer of the dining hall, where the Principal invited Lady Wolfson to unveil a plaque affixed to the north wall and commemorating (the inscription had been cut by John Skelton, brother of the Aularian Christopher Skelton) the munificent benefaction which the Hall had received from the Wolfson Foundation and without which, as the Principal remarked in a brief speech after lunch, the ambitious building programme might never have got off ground.

The second, equally unprecedented, function was the garden party

the Wolfson Hall

which was held on the afternoon of the following day and to which all subscribers (as far as possible) to the New Buildings Fund and their families had been invited. The idea evidently proved highly attractive, and as the acceptances poured in it became clear that something like 700 people were likely to be present. Little wonder that those responsible for organizing the catering and planning the arrangements succumbed at times to twinges of panic, and the prophecy of thunder-storms did nothing to allay their apprehensions. In the event St. Edmund looked after his own. The dark clouds decided to retain their aqueous burden, and the suri peeped through occasionally; the enormous crowd of men and women of all ages, teenage youths and maidens, and small children (one clad in glittering armour, holding a spear), moved happily and confidently about the new buildings, the old ¡quadrangle, and the library garden; the mountains of sandwiches, ice-creams and other eatables which the Kitchen had prepared proved as inexhaustible as they were fresh and tasty; and an excellent time was had by all. On every hand demands were heard for the repetition of such parties at least triennially.

OCCUPATION AND USE relating to the new buildings may be of interest to the curious historian. First, the Emden (east) and Kelly (central) residential blocks were occupied for the fast time by undergraduates and graduates at the beginning of Michaelmas Term 1969. The occupation was only achieved by the narrowest of margins, for the young men came into residence on Thursday 9 October and the workmen were busy until late at night on Wednesday and most qf Thursday laying carpets, installing beds, and carrying out other finishing touches in the bed-sitters. Secondly, on Thursday 15 January 1970, effectively the first day of Hilary Term, the first meal was held in the Wolfson Hall, It had been hoped that this would be brought into use, along with the residential accommodation, at the beginning of Michaelmas Term, but when this proved impossible emergency arrangements had to be contrived for the feeding in the old dining hall of the exceptionally large numbers now living in. On 15 January, however, some thirty senior members, including the Principal, Dr. Emden, the President of the St. Edmund Hall Association, and Mr. Gilbert Howes (the architect), sat down to dinner at the high table, while some 170 junior members occupied the body of the hall-the largest company of Aularians that has ever dined together in one place. The staff, organized in the kitchen by the Manciple (Mr. D. Filer) and in the hall by the Steward (Mr. Percy James), cooperated magnificently, and in spite of the unusually

large numbers requiring to be . served the meal was conducted on time and without obvious mishap.

The first Cup Supper held in the new dining hall took place on Thursday r.2 M~rch and was, appropriately, a triple celebration in honour of the victories of the Rugby; Association Football, and Hockey teams. Neither the new S.C.R. nor the new J.C.R. with its Party Room had been formally brought into use for the purposes implied by their names by the end of Trinity Term, but barring unforeseen events they were expected to be in use by the beginning of Michaelmas Term. The J.C.R. Party Room, however, was first used on Tuesday 26 May, when a M.C.R. guest-night dinner was held there; it was again used the following week, on Monday I Jm1e, for a dinner of the Hilarians presided over by Mr. C. K. Fay; and it was the scene on Tuesday 16June of a combined Cup Supper in honour of the triumphs of the Cricket Club and the Sailing Club.

The S.C.R. luncheon and dessert room, in spite of being still m1carpeted and without its proper furniture, was used for a cold buffet dinner for the Fellows and their wives on Friday 19 June, prior to the Ball; and thereafter it was used regularly in the vacation for the Fellows' luncheons and dinners. The S.C.R. drawing room, uncarpeted and with temporary furniture, was similarly used in the vacation for morning coffee and tea.

THE NEW LIBRARY: LIBRARIAN'S REPORT of St. Peter' s-in-the-East into our new Library should be completed by late summer 1970. During the course of the year its appearance has undergone drastic changes, and it looks as if it will be a great Oxford College Library.

The major single element in its new appearance is the ceiling of the nave. Dr. Emden, fertile of imagination as ever, suggested to us that we reproduce a late medieval coloured roof We tried a sample and liked it, and those at the Garden Party will have seen how the variety of colour has given a new life to the interior. But it is not only for fertility of imagination that we are in Dr. Emden' s debt, for with the generosity to the Hall for which he is by now notorious he insisted on paying for it. We owe him our kindest thanks.

The effect of the roof has been enhanced by the new clear glazing of most windows in the nave and aisle. The crown glass catches the light superbly and shows off the new tracery to great advantage.

This new lightness also gives added splendour to another major cosmetic operation. As Aularians will know, the church is rich in monuments, and in their newly cleaned and restored condition they should give pleasure to generations of future Hall men:. The new THE CONVERSION

8

ligP.t woodblock floor in muhuhu completes a very fine nave. The chancel has been cleaned and decorated, and a new bronze-framed glass screen is being inserted between the chancel and the Lady Chapel to protect readers there from disturbance by visitors to the chancel who will still be admitted at times.

Outside the church is much restored and cleaned. Exceptionally noteworthy is the re-faced tower with its now nationally recognized gargoyles of what the paper called 'Hall worthies'. We hope to produce postcards of these gargoyles, and will inform Aularians if we do. The belfry is to be turned into a Fellow's teaching room with magnificent views all over Oxford. The churchyard itself is much refurbished with new paths and entrances direct to the Hall. The crypt itself will, for the first time for several hundred years, be \it more or less as it was designed to be lit, thanks to the discovery beneath the vestry of the original Norman windows, behind which we are to put a source of light.

But these are just the main features. We have been exceptionally lucky with everyone concerned in this operation. Our architect, Mr.]. R. Allen, has been a model of patience and inspiration to us, and all the craftsmen, both of the main contractors and of the many sub-contractors, have produced work of uniformly very high standard. Our sincerest thanks go out to them all. The best way Aularians can judge is by coming to see-we shall make anyone very welcome.

Included in the Magazine, as usual, is a list of gifts to the Library from Aularians. We are very anxious to keep our Aularian collection up to date, and would even solicit from those Aularians who have published and not given. We have a very fine Aularian collection which is to be housed in a prominent glass fronted case across the base of the chancel arch. The position indicates the importance we attach to the collection. For those volumes we have received we are extremely grateful, and herewith our warmest thanks. ]. Hackney FACES GAZlNG DOWN of the grotesquely carved bosses, by some called gargoyles, on the cornice beneath the parapet of the tower of St. Peter-in-the-East were published in the national press in the middle of March, and since then they have been the subject of amused and curious comment. The Magazine thinks it proper to place on record certain facts about them, in particular (since human memory is so evanescent) the identity of the faces portrayed with what their owners' vanity will judge to be either an acceptable or an unaccept-

able degree of caricature. The sculptor who has shaped them so vigorously and perceptively is Mr. Michael Groser, whose work can be studied elsewhere in Oxford at New College (some two hundred bosses, including those overlooking Queen's Lane), Balliol (carvings in the quadrangle), and Keble (figure of the Arch.:.. angel Michael over the gable above the porch to the Chapel). The faces represented are (moving from N. to S., and so round the compass) those of the Dean (Revd. E. G. Midgley), with his dog Fred, and Mr. Jeffrey Hackney (Librarian) on the E. front; of Dr. A. B. Emden on the S.E. corner; of the Principal (Dr. J. N . D. Kelly) and the Bursar (Mr. R. E. Alton) on the S. front; of Mr. G. V. Trodd, managing director of Benfield and Loxley Ltd., the firm of builders empl9yed in the reconstruction, on the S.W. corner; of Mr. J. R. Allen, the architect advising, and Mr. Michael Groser, the sculptor, on the W. front; of Mr. Colin Hann, mason foreman of Benfield and Loxley Ltd., on the N.W. corner; of Mr. Gerald Tuckwell, Mr. Henry Dollamore, and Mr. Peter Robinson, all masons, on the N. front; and of Mr. Albert Collett, mason, on the N.E. corner.

AN APOLOGY FOR OMISSIONS on the New Buildings Fund was published in the summer of last year, and gave both pictures of the buildings in the course of erection and a list of subscribers to the Fund up to June 1969. Unfortunately, owing to pressure of work and staff changes in the Appeals office, a number of names were carelessly omitted. So far the omission of the following names has been noted: A. J. Bridgwater, the Coulthurst Trust, Mrs. W. Daniel,]. B. Davies, J. R. Derring, T. P. Downey, D. S. Dunsmore, Fielding, Newson-Smith and Co., R. 0. D. Hughes, L. Law, J. C. B. Lowe, J.C. W. Ludlow, Revd. N. McDermid, H. D. Michell, New College, Revd. C. R . Ollier, M. D. Palmer, N. H. Pegram, K. Pigot, W. I. Plant, Revd. F. D. M. Richards, R. Rycroft, E. Urry, and J. Zbyszewski. It is possible that there are others, and anyone who notices the absence of any name, his own or someone else's, that should be in the Report is requested to communicate it to the Principal. The Appeal Committee sincerely apologizes to the victims of these oversights, and promises that every endeavour will be made to make further editions of the Progress Report as accurate as possible.

THE FIRST PROGRESS REPORT

FAREWELLS ON THE EVENING OF FRIDAY, 28 NOVEMBER 1969, a farewell party was held in the old dining hall for Mr. Frank Grace to mark his retirement at the end of the summer, after 35 years' service, from the position 10

of Lodge Porter. The large company included several Fellows, members of the domestic staff, the Manciple and the Steward, and a number of undergraduates and graduates. On behalfof the Governing Body the Principal presented Mr. Grace with an unexampledly capacious arm-chair, while the Manciple presented him with an inscribed tankard on behalf of the staff. In his speech the Principal wished Frank every happiness in his retirement, recalling among other things his unfailing memory for the faces of old members ; and Frank, who was accompanied by Mrs. Grace and his daughter Elizabeth, made a brief reply.

Another retirement which Aularians will notice with keen regret is that of Mr. F. J. Atkins, known to all by the friendly name of Curly. When he joined the Hall in April, 1954, he was already quite advanced in years, having previously been occupied with a bakery business of his own, but in his l 5 years' service, as part-time porter and caretaker of the Chapel and the J.C.R., he won the genuine affection of hundreds of Aularians. Latterly he had suffered from a good deal of illness, and his effective retirement took place last autumn. To him, as to Frank Grace, the good wishes of many friends go out.

M. P. MOSS: IN MEMORIAM notes with regret the sudden death on 21 .April this year of Philip Moss, of the firm of Moss, Scriven and Co., Stock Brokers, of Oxford, Reading, etc. Mr. Moss, who died of a stroke at London Airport on returning from a holiday abroad with his wife and son, had been the Hall's adviser on investments since 1966. In addition to professional skill he had a warm and attractive personality which won him many friends in the Senior Common Room.

THE MAGAZINE

A LEGACY B.A., who matriculated at the Hall in 1912 and died at Milltown, New Brunswick, on 6 October 1964 (see brief obituary on p. 40 of the Magazine for 1964-65), left to the Hall in his will a deferred cash legacy of 1000 Canadian dollars, payable on the death of his wife, Mrs. Margaret A. Todd, and to be used at the Principal' s discretion for the improvement of and in the interests of St. Edmund Hall, together with all the books he had collected on the works and lives of Wordsworth, Coleridge and other writers of that period. Mrs. Todd died on 29 April this year, and as a result the legacy, for which the Hall is deeply grateful, has been handed over this past summer to the Hall.

THE LATE CHARLES FREDERICK TODD,

THE COLLEGE COMMITTEE has now become an established feature of the Hall's life, and last academic year held two ordinary meetings in each of the three terms and one extraordinary meeting in Trinity Term. The senior members were the Principal (chairman), the Dean (Revd. E. G. Midgley), the Bursar (Mr. R. E. Alton-in Trinity Term Mr. C. F. W. R. Gullick), the Tutor for Graduates (Mr. K. Segar), and Dr. M. S. Child. The junior members for the first two terms were Messrs M. H. Jennings and J. Prebble (Presidents of the J.C.R. and M.C.R.), Messrs P. G. Frawley, V. V. Razis, and C. Waddington (representing theJ.C.R.), and Mr. C. K. Fay (representing the M.C.R.); in Trinity Term the M.C.R. members continued the same; while the J.C.R. representatives, following the new elections, were replaced by Mr. J. A. S. Brogdon (President) , and Messrs R. G. Daulton, G. A. D. McPherson, and A. D. Maxwell.

The matters discussed a.t the ordinary meetings .covered a very THE COLLEGE COMMITTEE

12

wide range, and included inter alia the value of end:..:of-term Collec:..: tions, the justification for termly pre-payments, the ·possibility of Amalgamated Clubs contributing to a University Swimming Pool, the principles for the allocation of rooms in Hall, dining arrangements, means of access to the College after midnight once the new buildings are completed, security, the efficiency of washing machines, credit facilities and items which might properly be charged to battels, college dues and charges. The background of the extraordinary meeting held in Trinity Term was the appointment by the Governing Body in October 1969 of a special committee to explore the problem of making the opinion ofjunior members properly effective in the working of the College, the circulation by that committee of a questionnaire to all junior (and senior) members, its drawing up of certain recommendations to the Governing Body on the basis of the answers received, and the Governing Body's adoption of certain resolutions designed to improve and strengthen the College Committee, to secure the ad hoe attendance of junior members at meetings of certain committees of the Governing Body and possibly on occasion of the Governing Body itself, and to effect other reforms of this kind. The purpose of the extraordinary meeting was to consider these ,resolutions. In the event a broad measure of agreement was reached, but several of the matters raised were still under discussion at the end of term.

PRIZES AND AWARDS for the Francis Bennion Prize Essay was-'To what extent can, and to what extent should, the law of trusts provide for the effectuating by settlors of non-charitable purposes?'

TRAVEL GRANTS THE HALL is once again indebted to the St. Edmund Hall Association for a generous donation of £60 voted by the Executive Committee to supplement the Graham Hamilton Travel Fund. As a result there was about £ 120 available this year for distribution, and the Governing Body was able to make an unusually large number of allocations.

Token grants of £5 each were made to H. Coates (archaeological hitch-hike to Cyprus), J. Barnes (trip to Hungary), and P. St. J. Parker and E. A. Fennell (trip to Turkey), whose applications seemed to come marginally within the objectives of the Fund. Rather larger grants were made to S. R. Ankers, P. Bates and K. Walmsley (camping trip in Yugoslavia), R. Elverson and J. Seccombe (O.U. Finmark expedition), P. Clemence and S. Dempsey (O.U. expedition to Morocco), C. S. Stafford and B. J. Lowe (walking tour in the Pyrenees), T. Statham (Pennine walk), and A. Butement (brass rubbing in Belgium and Germany), whose projects seemed to involve somewhat more of the 'initiative, enterprise, and endurance' which the original benefactor had in mind.

ST. PETER'S PAROCHIAL LIBRARY has been drawn to certain inaccuracies and omissions in the note which it published on this subject last year, and in the interests both of historical truth and of courtesy to the persons responsible for the Library it seems desirable to set the record straight. First, the Library was housed in St. Peter's from 1941 until 1959, not (as stated) 1966. Secondly, the decision by the P.C.C. in 1959 to sell the majority of the books was only taken after it had obtained the advice of the Department of Printed Books, the Bodleian Library, and after the Chancellor of the Diocese had granted a faculty for the sale. Thirdly, it is not strictly true that the Bodleian 'took 12 volumes, including the MS catalogue'. What happened was that, when the church was closed for worship in the summer of 1965, the Revd. P. M. Martin, Vicar of St. Mary's, in his capacity as Priest-in-charge of St. Peter' s, gave the l l remaining volumes for safe keeping to the Bodleian on r.evocable deposit, the MS catalogue remaining in his own custody.

SUMMER BALL-FRIDAY l9TH JUNE 1970 THE SUMMER BALL took place, following time-honoured custom, on the last Friday of Trinity Term, and was declared to be one of the most enjoyable of recent years. It also had the novelty of being the first to be held in the new buildings, without the need of protecting marquees. The sound from the Wolfson Hall, half full of people and half full ofloud-speakers, shook both Kelly and Emden and, supplemented by a party in Queen's, is said to have aroused the Chaplain of New College from his well earned end-of-term slumbers. As last year, a string quartet, under the tasteful direction of Nigel Osborne, played Haydn and selected arrangements of popular tunes in the churchyard, and attracted thither a by no means necrophilous, appreciative audience. And although the decorations were sparse enough not to catch the eye, the groups (Black Ginger, If, Equals, Wild Angels, Locomotive, and Pepper) riveted attention with both style and volume. The Chef and his staff deserve congratulation on supplying food abundant enough to sustain one through the night and rivalling the String Quartet in elegance. Until the eve of the Ball the Committee had been doubtful if the number of tickets sold would suffice to meet all the expenses, but throughout the anxious period, sustained by M. C. Warren, they kept their chins firmly up, and in the end their courageous optimism proved well justified.

Perhaps their relief at breaking even explains their failure to prepare a report, the composition of which has therefore been left to this Poor Ghost HIGHER DEGREES THE FOLLOWING were granted leave to supplicate for higher degrees: Doctor

THE LONDON DINNER 1970 promised Farrand's advertising blurb, and 103 Old Aularians attended the annual London exercise in nostalgia at Simpson's in the Strand amid Victorian splendour to listen to the Principal' s undoubted oratorical eloquence. The main question as the pre-prandial rites of drinking Simpson's flat and famous lukewarm beer in the subterranean cavern was, 'Would the promised vintage be a mellow claret or effervescent champagne'.

The Chairman, J. B. Allan, in welcoming the Principal, proudly a1mounced to everyone's amazement that this was the 4oth anniversary of the dinner and that the first had been held in a restaurant in Soho. This brought a reflective hum from the assembled. It was almost as if someone expected Sir John Gielgud to appear and announce '40 years On', but undauntedly the chairman went on to elicit a few bewildering statistics which Table A immediately announced must be those of Raquel Welch but the more serious believed he was using statistics like a drunk uses a lamp-post-more for support than illumination. Bewailing the fact that ABE was missing, this was to a certain extent compensated by the first appearance of Mr. Justin Gosling as Senior Tutor. He finished by informing Aularians that the fac;:ade on the new dining hall doors was of gargoyle with crossed but rampant squash rackets, a fitting compliment to our guest's undoubted prowess.

As the audience was still, the Principal arose and began by noting that the BBC was sitting at his right hand and that the occasion would be marked by mellow reflections on the 'assets' of the Hall.

Still the audience awaited the coup de resistance. Had the Hall, to compensate for archrival St. Peter' s College's acquisition of Richard Burton as Lecturer in English, secured the greater attraction of Miss Elizabeth Taylor or Goldie Horn. But no! Although the Hall had done well academically and sportingly, the opening of the new Kelly and Emden ¡ Blocks and the new Dining Hall had overshadowed everything. Thursday January 15 would see the first meals served in it and. the fight against time had been precariously won.

Every effort short of bribery had been made and the result had been a triumph, for the new rooms were the best of their kind in Oxford. But what of the old 'Orient'? Had that been replaced by an architect-designed modern but aethestically pleasing building? The Principal was very quiet about this, but the Wolfson Dining Hall was a distinguished addition. Already it had its attraction, for in one of his frequent trips to review progress, the Principal had seen the workers eating their sandwiches at the High Table, obviously well satisfied with their working conditions! Continuing his reflective mood, the VINTAGE KELLY,

19

Principal said much time was being spent on predicting the Seventies but he could confidently say that the Hall was flourishing academically and in other ways.

MINUTES OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the St. Edmund Hall Association was held at Simpson's in the Strand, London, on Tuesday, 13 January 1970 at 6 p.m. Mr. J. B. Allan (President) was in the Chair.

The minutes of the previous Annual General Meeting were read, approved and signed. There were no matters arising.

The Hon. Treasurer referred to the accom1ts as detailed in the Hall Magazine. In summary, there was a surplus of £1u. The usual allocations had been made. The cost of the High Table would be about £400, whilst the Principal' s Chair and two Guest Chairs would total about £300. There were no queries on the accounts.

Mr. Groves proposed, and Mr. Daniels seconded, that the Accounts be adopted. This was agreed unanimously.

The President expanded one or two of the more prominent details of the accounts, in particular the subject of the gift of the High Table and Chairs to the Hall by the Association, in commemoration of Dr. Emden' s 8oth birthday. The retiring members of the Executive Committee-Messrs Hayes, Carey, Williams and Farrand-were duly re-elected. The President thanked the Hon. Treasurer, Hon. Auditor, and Hon. Secretary for their year's duties, and proposed their re-election. There being no other nominations, they were unanimously re-elected.

Mr. Graham wondered whether the members of the Association would be prepared to pay an annual subscription to swell the former 'Activities Fund' which had been used to commission portraits, or purchase silver, in honour of sporting or other achievements. He saw no reason why this should not be resurrected, perhaps under another name, and possibly cha1melled to the New Buildings Fund.

With Mr. Graham proposing and the Revd. Midgley seconding, THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

21

it was agreed that this idea should be discussed in detail at the next meeting of the Committee.

There being no other business, the Meeting closed at 6.20 p.m.

,OBITUARY THE DEATHS of the following members of the Hall have been noted with deep regret:

Stephen Norman Godfrey, M.A., who was born on 25 July 1889, attended Dover County School, and matriculated in Trinity Term 1921, died on 26 April this year. He was Deputy Director of Education in Ceylon, where he lived 1925-3 5, and on his return to this country became one ofH.M. Inspectors of Schools, being promoted Divisional Inspector (for the north of England) in 1946. In recent years he lived at Newcastle upon Tyne, where he was a keen member of the local branch of the Oxford Society.

The Revd. Howard Stewart Mathias, M.A., who was a pupil at Roysse's School, Abingdon, matriculated in 1904, and took his degree with honours in Theology in 1907, died on 30 December 1969. He was Temporary Chaplain to the Forces during the First War, and was successively Rector of Cossington, Leics. (19n-40), and Vicar of Alfriston with Lullington, Sussex (1940-61). On his retirement he settled at Leiston, Suffolk.

PIKE

of the Boat Club this year leaves one with the feeling that the fates have just not been on the Hall's side. But despite our overall lack of success, there have been several outstanding performances, notably by the 2nd VIII in both Torpids and Summer Eights, when six and two bumps respectively were made.

THE FORTUNES

MICHAELMAS TERM The first blow fell when the elected captain, ]. Swift, felt unable to accept his post due to pressure of work. Thus the presentcominittee was installed.

Our next disappointment was suffered when it was discovered that we had only three freshmen with any previous rowing experience. Nevertheless we put three fours onto the water and had great hopes for the promising 2nd IV who were being coach~d by Nigel Blackwell. ist

In the racing the Ist IV were narrowly beaten by Univ., after a collision with the Green Bank. The 2nd crew met with greater success when thrashing Jesus and Magdalen, and making the headlines in The Times as a result. However they were beaten in the semifinal by Balliol II, the eventual winners.

In the Christ Church Regatta our novice VIII put in a very creditable performance to reach the final, only to be narrowly beaten by Univ. M. Amor gave a fine performance in the New College Sculls, unfortunately losing in the final. In the Shell Eights, our crew was beaten in the semi-final by a strong Balliol crew.

C. K. Fay was nominated for University Trial VIIl' s, and subsequently earned a place in Isis.

42

HILARY TERM As is customary we started training during the week preceding term. Unhappily we had been unable to obtain a permanent coach for the rst Torpid, but initial enthusiasm seemed to make up for this deficiency. After four weeks of very hard training with help from Chris Fay and James Swift, we had settled into a very smooth crew.

Nigel Blackwell completed our training build-up, with the result that we were very confident at the beginiling of Torpids.

However, the Torpids races were a complete fiasco. Despite the fact that we overtook three boats and were clearly the second fastest boat on the river, we ended up two places lower than we had started as a result ofO.U.B.C. 'Diktat', over some minor rules infringement.

Consequently Boat Club morale took a dive which was only helped by the success of the 2nd Torpid who had trained very hard to achieve their six bumps. rst Torpid H. Forrest J. M9ssop R. Ford M. Pike F. Hallam D. Vickers N. Johnson M. Amor A. Mackichan

TRINITY TERM The Hall rst Summer VIII splashed down a week before term in a somewhat subdued fashion with the memory ofTorpids still fresh in our minds. We were still suffering from the lack of a permanent coach, but had the promise of Jerry Dale, President of O.U.B.C., and John Gee, well-known Blue. Progress was slow, but seemingly sure.

The 2nd VIII was being coached by the Captain and Chris Fay and, after a few weeks training, was recording some remarkable times.

There were 4th and 5th VIII's in regular training; a 3rd Schools plus 6th Hilarians eight materialized in fourth week.

At the end of 3rd week, the rst VIII had benefited from its limited coaching sufficiently to enter Wallingford Regatta. Here it beat Keble II, but was hammered by Oriel, the boat directly behind in the coming Eights week. . During the fourth week the 2nd boat was usefully employed in pacing the rst, as they were well matched over short distances. By this time, the 4th VIII had improved to form a cohesive crew.

The Eights races spelt disaster for the rst VIII, being bumped every night, by Oriel, Balliol and Univ. before the Gut, and by 43

Merton outside our own boathouse. We can plead only lack of fitness.

Once again face was saved by the 2nd VIII who bumped two college Ist VIII's-Pembroke and Hertford-a highly commendable achievement!

Although the Schools boat was bumped, it did itself make a bump on a later night to the great delight of everyone, especially the crew.

The lower boats were most unlucky in their results of going down at least four places each.

RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB President: R. T. BAKER Captain: R. T. BAKER League Captain: M. E. YouNG Secretaries: N. G. SURIVE and E. J. RIGG MICHAELMAS TERM A YOUNG and inexperienced League side lost to St. Peter's o-II and Hertford 6-8, thus failing to win the Championship for the first time for many years. The team was more settled towards the end of term and more encouraging performances were recorded, the most impressive being a 30-ro victory over Pembroke.

The second XV won the fourth division. Notable victories were recorded: 61-0 over St. John's and 58-3 over Christ Church.

The tour to Ireland was a success socially if not on the rugby field.

The Hall drew against North ofireland 8-8 but were crushed 3-48

by Queen's, Belfast.

HILARY TERM Cuppers were won again for the twelfth time in fifteen years. The Hall dominated the competition due to all round strength. The final against Merton at Iffiey Road was a memorable occasion-six tries were scored through determined team effort. The opposition was overwhelmed, the final score being 26-6.

J. L. Cooke, R. Davies, P. J. Dixon, R. 0. P. Jones, E. Osborne and R. R. Speed are to be congratulated on their blues. Two players received representative honours-R. Davies for Wales 'B' and P. J. Dixon for the Barbarians.

The teams' thanks go to R. T. Baker and M. E. Young for their inspiring captaining and to the secretaries for performing their duties so efficiently.

Colours were awarded to: C. J. Balchin; C. H. Fisher; P. F. C. Gordon; A. S.Johnson; R. 0. P.Jones; D.S. G. Ruszala; R. E. M. Sage; N. G. Shrive; P. D. Smith.

A.S.J.

THE ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL CLUB Captain: M. H. JENNINGS Secretary: I. STUART UNDER THE CAPTAINCY of 'Aitch' Jennings, the Hall's performance this season again produced results worthy of its status. Weakened by the call of players for the University team.s, we did not manage to retain our league first position but finished respectably in third place. The second XI's performance was creditable, producing some good wins but perhaps lacked consistency.

The friendly matches on the whole produced better results than the previous season's probably due to the large amow1t of soccer talent ready and willing to play at short notice.

Again our high spot of the season was a victory over Jesus college by three goals to one in the final of the Cuppers competition. This produced an unprecedented rw1 of seven victories. The path to the final was, however, not an easy one, even with the talented team that was fielded. However, sheer 'will-to-run' carried us through when we found ourselves in difficulty.

The introduction of a second Xl Cupper' s competition was a popular move but did not produce any success for the Hall who were defeated in the first round by St. Catherine' s.

Officials elected for the 1970/71 season are: Captain: I. Stuart; Vice-Captain: G. H. Flood; Secretary: M. J. Birks.

I.S. 45

THE HOCKEY CLUB Captain: C. GAUTREY Secretary: M. CAVE-BROWNE- CAVE IT IS MY OPINION that the most important factor relating to the strength of a college hockey team is the friendly match. In this field Hall is now dangerously weak. This is not particluarly due to the absence of players appearing for the 'occasionals' and the 'blues' but due to the fact that either by accident or design the college no longer seems to have sufficient supply of hockey players willing or able to turn out regularly for us. On a higher plane though the success continues. The Hall reached the Cuppers final again only to draw r-r against B.N.C., after a goal by Angus Brogdon. In the Easter term replay, however, the skills of our two 'blues' P. Wilson and J. A. S. Brogdon, amply aided by C. Gauntrey and R. Brandwood (the latter despite the Oxford Mail, the scorer of two fine goals) overcame the opposition and the Hall won, as convincingly as everybody had anticipated, 3-0.

Officers for next term are: Captain: M. Cave-Brown-Cave, Secretary: R. Parkinson.

M.C.B.C.

THE CRICKET CLUB Captain: R. T. BAKER Secretary: R. D. LEES PREDICTABLY for the third successive year, Cuppers was won. This time Oriel were beaten in the final by r r r rw1s and Ridley won the man of the match award. The greatest success in Cuppers was Wilson, who reluctantly left the library to score fifty in every game.

The weather for the other matches was superb with only one being cancelled due to rain. The fact that only three games were lost, was due not only to the Captain who took on the majority of the batting and bowling himself. The Hall continue to use the Trinity Ground, where the wicket provided a very great number of runs.

R.D .L.

THE ATHLETICS CLUB President: P. MITCHELL SPITE OF A GOOD INFLUX OF FRESHMEN, a lack of our usual quota of Dip. Eds. meant that the Hall spent the season as eternal runners-up.

During the cross-country season, we won the League, but relinquished Cuppers to New College who had three blues in their team.

We were second in our own replay, this time to Queen's, Cambridge.

IN

46

A. Moore ran for the Blues team against Cambridge, finishing 3rd, while A. Scarfe, J. Ardley, P. Mitchell were selected to run for the Tortoises against the Spartans. A. Moore was elected as Captain of University Cross Country for next season.

On the track, our strength in depth was m1able to compensate for our lack of stars. Mainly due to Hemery, St. Catherine's scraped home 4-3 in relay Cuppers, but their victory over us in Athletics Cuppers Final was more emphatic.

A. Moore and R. R. Speed represented O.U.A.C. in the Blues match, and both soundly defeated their Cambridge counterparts.

JN.A.

THE SQUASH CLUB FOR THE FIRST TIME FOR SOME YEARS, the Hall found itself without players in the Squirrels' or the University side and had to rely on part-time players.

Though there was therefore little hope in Cuppers, the Hall did well to hold its place in the first division of the League.

F.H. THE BADMINTON CLUB Captain: I. RJDGWELL WITH OUR TWO BLUES PLAYERS DISQUALIFIED from the league competition, the first team was understandably relegated, being unable to keep up with the rapidly improving level of the sport in the University.

The second team managed to avoid relegation, after the number of games won had been taken into into account, having tied with Balliol on points. Unfortunately R. Jones was on teaching practice during the cuppers competition, and we failed to match last year's achievement of reaching the final, being beaten by St. John's in the second round. C. Marmont and R. Johns were selected for the Blues match against Cambridge.

WARREN THE GOLF CLUB played its one and only annual fixture against Temple Ladies on Tuesday, 5th May. The weather was perfect, as was the tea which followed the match. The company, i.e. opposition, was

47

as delightful and charming as ever. In fact too charming, since the result was 3~ 21- in favour of the ladies. A noteworthy performan~e was put in by Jerry Cooke-more famous for rugger than golfwho, with a style reminiscent of a cricketer playing a cover drive, gave the lady captain a very close run, despite himself visiting the trees with some regularity. Paul Rose was pitted against a teenage schoolgirl off a 30 handicap and played her level and lost! Ah; the hidden charms of the young! Sandy MacPherson-Teddy Hall's Dr. Kildare-had the misfortune of playing the 'better ball' of two ladies.

This was our punishment for arriving one man short. With two against him what could Sandy do but lose 5/4, a very honourable and stalwart defeat.

The match is always played in the best of spirit-and this year was no exception. We thank Temple Ladies very much for this delightful fixture and hope that it will continue for a very long time.

MJ.D.W.

THE HILARIANS Captain: C. K. FAY Secretary: M. R. LOBB THE HILARIANS began the season disastrously by playing the Gosford All Blacks rst team, the local glamour side, who were under the impression that they were playing the Hall Ist XV. The 'Oxford Mail' printed the result, 72-0, with a smirk. However, members recovered from this setback magnificently and went to Cambridge to play the Downing 'Squirts'. Though suitably fortified against another whitewash we only managed to provoke a draw.

In the Hilary Term only the Old Hilarians match came off and was enjoyed by all. Still writhing from last year's thrashing, the Old Hilarians called in three internationals and supplied the referee to bolster their challenge. Undaunted by this line-up we came from behind to secure a genuine II-II draw, the result being settled by the last kick of the match when S. Nuttal safely converted.

M.R.L.

THE CROQUET CLUB President: P. V. ROBINSON Secretary: G. M. M. DALZELL-PAYNE ONCE AGAIN, the University Authorities made no arrangements this term for Cuppers to take place; this was a disappointment, as we still had the nucleus of a good side remaining from last season.

However, the Club this year played twice as many matches as last 48

year, and won them both. In an extremely friendly away match against St. Hugh's, all three pairs won comfortably; against Manchester College a two-hour tussle resulted in a win for both the Hall's pairs, despite the depredations of Schools.

It is hoped next season to re-double the number of fixtures, and G.M.M.D-P. continue the unbeaten record.

THE CHESS CLUB Secretary: M. J. CORDEN THIS SEASON has been one for rebuilding, as we lost several players from last year all at once.

Friendly matches against New College and St. Peter's were lost 5-1 and 3t-2t respectively, and we lost 5-1 in Cuppers to a very strong Balliol side.

However, progress has been made, and with the return of exsecretary Mick Cunningham we look forward to a more successful commg season.

M.J.C.

THE TABLE TENNIS CLUB Captain: R. REPPER Secretary: I. RIDGWELL THE LOSS OF I. HEWITT AND A. BOORMAN weakened the first team considerably this season. The result was the relegation of this team from the first division, though strength in the other sides was reflected in the promotion of the third team and the good performance of the second. Next year, with the arrival of the long awaited table, I am sure the standard of play will improve noticeably. I would like to thank all those who played for their efforts and hope that they will be helpful to next year's secretary.

THE MUSIC SOCIETY President: S. H. CARLESTON Secretary: D.]. HUGHES THIS YEAR, the Music Society put on two public concerts. The :first of these, in the Michaelmas Term, took place in the Holywell Music Room; and consisted of works by Handel and Telemann. A semiprofessional orchestra was assembled and directed by Bernard Thomas, who also played solo recorder in two of the pieces. Other Hall soloists were Nigel Osborne (violin) and Stephen Carleston (organ). The concert received good reviews in the O xford Mail and O xford Times.

The second concert, in the Trinity Term, was due to be held in the Front Quad, but because of the weather had to take place in the Old Dining Hall. The first half consisted of a Haydn Quartet and Brahms' Trio op. 40 for Horn, Violin and Piano. During the interval, Dr. G. D. Ramsay was kind enough to adjudicate at the first ever world occurrence of the 'Blindfold Teddy-Bears' Picnic Playing-Speed Trials', for which a sizeable entry was attracted, not only from the Hall. The second half began with a performance of Edgar L. Bainton's pre-Raphaelite masterpiece 'The Blessed Damozel' (text by D. G. Rossetti) for accompanied chorus, and the concert ended with a set of light-hearted variations written by several members of the Hall on a particularly bad tune from Verdi's 'Rigoletto'. Had the concert taken place out-of-doors as intended, a larger audience might have been attracted, but even so the Hall and gallery were completely packed.

D.J. H. THE JOHN OLDHAM SOCIETY President:

TOM KING

WHILST THERE HAS CLEARLY BEEN a lot of individual theatrical talent in the college during the last year, the John Oldham Society has remained a fragmented and largely nominal organization; the four productions of the year arising more from isolated efforts than from the society as a whole. These productions have, however, generally been very good. There was a big success in the Freshman Drama Festival where the Hall entered two productions, W. F. Simpson's 'The Hole' and John Whiting's 'No Why'. The Simpson play was well-received by the adjudicators whilst 'No Why' tied first equal in the competition. A revue was put on in the Easter term and Eric Presland conceived and directed an excellent entertainment on 50

the theme of childhood to replace the proposed summer production which was abandoned because of financial difficulty. In addition to these productions, several members of the college have taken part in O.U.D.S., E.T.C. and outside college productions. The main aim of the society must now be to co-ordinate these individual efforts and direct them into a greater variety of college drama. The proposed introduction of play-readings, exercises in improvisation and direction in the Old Dining Hall next term will hopefully go a long way towards achieving this aim.

THE JOHN METHUEN SOCIETY President: M. RIDLEY Secretary: G. A. D. McPHERSON THE SOCIETY is alive and flourishing, with about twenty active members.

'

President: H.J. HUNT Secretary: D. J. HUGHES IN MICHAELMAS TERM 1969 the Liddon Society had two talks: one by Brother Jonathan S.S.F., on 'St. Francis', and the other by Miss E. Parry, on 'Kurdish Kaleidoscope'. This conveys well the semireligious aim of this society. The weekly pray-ins have stayed the religious centre of the society, one pray-in per term being in conjunction with other religious groups in the college. A pilgrimage to Binsey, notable mainly for the rain and the Perch, enlivened Michaelmas Term. Other meetings have included talks on R. H. Thomas, Borstal, and Ghandi, by the Dean, Mr. R. Buxton, and Canon L. M. Schiff respectively. The annual Ghost Talk, given this year by Canon Pearce-Higgins of Southwark, had at least one member recommending the provocative Canon for the lock-up.

Once again, two children's parties were held, one at the end of the sununer term, and one at Christmas. In this connexion, we would like to thank the Dean for the use of his room, and the kitchen, for the superb teas.

DURING THE ACADEMIC YEAR 1969-70, meetings of the Society, exclusive of the annual dinner, were only three in number, all held in Michaelmas Term. At the first ofthese, Mr. C. H. Stuart of Christ Church read a paper on 'Carteret', giving an authoritative analysis of the character and career of this famous politician. The second meeting was the Ex-President's address, delivered by Mr. Alder, which considered aspects of English history following the Industrial Revolution. At the third meeting, Mr. J.P. D. Dunbabin of S.E.H. read a paper on 'New York Politics', which considered two main aspects of contemperary politics in New York: strikes by public servants and community power, The Amrnal Dinner, held in Hilary Term, was as usual, well attended.
