ST EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE OCTOBER 1977

VOL. XI, No. 4 EDITOR 1976-77 : P. T. CLIPSON NEVILLE JOHN WILLIAMS

THE DEATH OF NEVILLE WILLIAMS on 29 January, at the early age of fifty-two and only three weeks after taking office as President of the St Edmund Hall Association, brought unexpected sadness to all who knew him. He was a man of remarkable versatility and capacity for unflurried hard work who achieved a great deal in a comparatively short span. After reading Modern History at the Hall (1946- 48) and engaging in research which later won him his doctorate, he spent most of his professional career in the Public Record Office, and although he missed becoming Keeper he was Deputy Keeper of the Public Records from 1970 to 1973. In the latter year he changed course abruptly, being appointed Secretary of the British Academy, and for three and a half years carried out an entirely fresh range of functions at Burlington House, bringing to them an enthusiasm, an administrative flair and an apparently tireless energy which evoked p1~aise and admiration. Alongside these public activities, however, he was all his life an ardent lover and accomplished performer of music; he had spent three years at Christ Church Choir School under Thomas Armstrong, and it was as an organ scholar that he entered the Hall after serving as an officer in the R.N.V.R. A keen student of local history, he was also literary editor for several years of the Wiltshire Record Society.

Most surprisingly, perhaps, he found time, in spite of the heavy claims of his professional appointments, to be a prolific writer of well informed and highly readable books, many of them Tudor biographies and descriptions of life at Court, but including two fat manuals of modern chronology. As a man he impressed 1

people as singularly urbane, gentle and considerate, quietly determined but by nature always a conciliator, with a faith which was both unobtrusive and firm. His attachment to the Hall, in which he had stood out among the undergraduates of his day, was deep-seated and unflagging; he was proud to serve on the Executive Committee of the Association, and it gave him pleasure to resume his seat at the organ at the summer reunions.

He will be greatly missed, and the sympathies of Aularians go out in full measure to the family circle in which he found unfeigned joy and satisfaction.

Born at Chalfont St Peter in 1924, Neville died at Nairobi, when as Secretary of the Academy he was visiting the British Institute in Eastern Africa. In mid-October 1976 he had suffered a mild coronary, necessitating a period in hospital; he had just returned from an official visit to Russia, where he and other officers of the Academy had conducted important negotiations with the Soviet Academy of Sciences. At the London Dinner on 11 January, when he was installed as President of the Association, he seemed well, and was in excellent spirits. Alas, after that happy evening we were to see him no more, but the writer of this note treasures an affectionately inscribed copy of his last book, The Cardinal and the Secretary, which he then slipped into his hand. There was a deeply moving memorial service, arranged by the Academy, at St James's, Piccadilly, on Saturday 7 May, with music such as might have delighted his heart and a splendid panegyric by Professor A. G. Dickens, Director of the Institute of Historical Research, who had been one of his supervisors when he was a graduate student almost thirty years ago. A great crowd gathered to do tribute, along with his family, to this kindly, gracious and courageous scholar, and amongst them was an ample contingent representing the Hall.

J.N.D.K. THE VISITOR the Visitor, Mr Harold Macmillan, honoured the Hall by attending the St Edmund's Day Feast on 16 November 1976, spending the night in the Principal's Lodgings. To his own and everyone else's great regret he had been prevented from coming the previous year, but had sent an eloquent telegram on the morning of the celebration. This year he was with us in typically urbane form and crowned the evening with a spellONCE AGAIN

binding speech, full of reminiscence and wit, which the whole company-Fellows and undergraduates and guests of the College - saluted with a standing ovation.

THE PRINCIPAL AND FELLOWS THE PRINCIPAL and Mr J. C. B. Gosling were members of the delegation from the University of Oxford which, led by the Chancellor, presented a loyal address to H.M. the Queen at Buckingham Palace on Friday 1 July 1977.

The Principal has been nominated as a Pro-Vice-Chancellor for the year 1977-78; he has also been nominated as a Delegate of Privileges. His completion of twenty-five years as Principal was celebrated, with speeches of congratulation, toasts and presentations, by the Senior Common Room at a dinner held on the eve of Michaelmas Term 1976 and by junior members generally at the Christmas dinner in the Wolfson Hall on the last Sunday of that term.

Dr D. I. Scargill has been appointed a magistrate on the Oxford bench. Mr A. I. Marsh was awarded the Silver Jubilee Medal. Professor P. F. Ganz has been elected an Honorary Fellow of Hertford College, and Mr J. Hackney (who retired as an Official Fellow last autumn) has been elected to an Emeritus Fellowship of the Hall. Sir Denis Wright is to be congratulated on the publication of his book The English Among the Persians.

The Vice-Chancellor appointed Dr Child to carry on the duties of the Coulson Professorship of Theoretical Chemistry, and the General Board appointed Professor Christian as deputy for the Isaac Wolfson Professor of Metallurgy during his absence on sabbatical leave in 1978. Mr R. E. Alton and the old member Mr I. G. Heggie (Fellow of St Cross and Director of the Transport Studies Unit) have been awarded two of the five wall plaques presented by the Oxford Preservation Trust for excellence in the restoration and conservation of buildings. Dr D. R. T. Jones, whose I.B.M. Research Fellowship terminated in September, has taken up an appointment with CERN at Geneva.

THE SENIOR PROCTOR J. c. B. GOSLING was instituted as Senior Proctor on Wednesday 16 March this year. At 12.15 p.m. on that day a procession led by the Principal and Mr Gosling and consisting of all available Fellows arranged two by two in order of seniority left the Hall and marched, under the escort of a University Bedel, in MR

heavy rain to the Convocation House. Here, after the customary oration by the retiring Senior Proctor, the two Proctors-elect were presented to the Vice-Chancellor by the Principal and the Vice-Master of St Peter's College respectively, and after they had been charged and had taken the oath were formally admitted to office, were clothed with the proctorial hoods and received their insignia from the Vice-Chancellor. After escorting .the Vice-Chancellor to his college, the procession returned to the Hall, and the new Senior Proctor entertained the ViceChancellor, University officials, Honorary and Emeritus Fellows and Fellows and their ladies to luncheon in the Wolfson Hall.

Mr Gosling had nominated Dr D. I. Scargill and Dr M. S. Child as his Pro-Proctors, and they were admitted to office at the ceremony in the Convocation House. The Senior Proctor subsequently ¡nominated Dr K. H. Segar as an additional ProProctor, and he was admitted as such by the Vice-Chancellor.

ELECTIONS AND APPOINTMENTS IN MARCH Stephen Richard Blarney, B.A., B.Phil., Exeter College, was elected to the St Edmund Junior Research Fellowship, which had been vacant since the resignation of Mr R; Tait in August 1974. After taking a First in Honour Classical Moderations, Mr Blarney read for the Honour School of Mathematics and Philosophy; his research will be in the field of logic. At the same time the Governing Body elected the runner-up, Mrs Vivien Mary Jones, B.A., Lady Margaret Hall, to a Junior Research Lecturership, and subsequently agreed that, if and when the Statutes permitted, she should become a Junior Research Fellow. Mrs Jones obtained a First in English in 1974, and has since been engaged in research on Henry James's criticism of the novel. Both these took up their appointments on 1 October.

The following were appointed to Non-Stipendiary Lecturerships in the course of the year: in Psychology (for 1976-77)~ P. R. Collett, D.Phil. (B.A. Natal and Cape Town), Research Officer in the Department of Experimental Psychology; in Engineering Science (for three years in the first instance)- R. G. Lord, M.A., D.Phil., University Lecturer in Engineering Science and Fellow of Worcester College; in Metallurgy (for three years in the first instance)- J. P, Jakubovics, M.A., D.Phil., University Lecturer in Metallurgy and the Science of Materials; in Phil4

osophy (for the period of Mr Gosling's Proctorship)-M. J. Lockwood, B.A., St Peter's College, and D. W. D. Owen, B.Phil.

(B.A. Trent), Corpus Christi College; in Geology (for five years in the first instance)-H. C. Jenkyns, Ph.D., Durham University, University Lecturer-elect in Sedimentology. The lecturerships of Dr Olleson (Music) and Dr Wild (Biochemistry) were renewed for further periods.

IN MEMORIAM AS THE MAGAZINE goes to press, it records with deep regret the death, at the age of ninety-two, of the Hall's senior Honorary Fellow and one of its most outstanding sons, Bishop John William Charles Wand, P.C., K.C.V.O., Hon. D.D. An undergraduate under Principal Moore 1904-7, he became Dean of Oriel in 1934, and was then successively Archbishop of Brisbane (1934-43), Bishop of Bath and Wells (1943- 45), Bishop of London (1945- 55), and Canon and Treasurer of St Paul's (1956-69). An accomplished theologian, wonderfully prolific writer, remarkable preacher and outstanding administrator, he was among the two or three leading British churchmen of his time. Lecturer in Theology at the Hall 1928- 21 and Trustee 1946- 52, he lavished his interest and affection on it until the end; his portrait in oils hangs in the Wolfson Hall.

The Magazine also notes with regret the deaths of two former Fellows of The Queen's College who played a small but helpful part in the Hall's history. Alfred Henry Seddon Cripps, second Lord Parmoor, who died on 19 May 1977 and was for many years Estates Bursar of Queen's, represented the College on the body of Trustees of the Hall from 1938 to 1945. Archibald Bridges, C.B.E., who died on 17 June 1977, Bursar of Queen's from 1945 to 1958, took a cooperative and constructive part, along with the late Provost J. Walter Jones, in the discussions which the Principal conducted with the College in the winter of 1955 and which smoothed the path for the attainment of full collegiate status by the Hall.

Nearer home, the Hall mourns the loss of two valued scouts: Mr G. A. Joyner, who had worked on front quadrangle staircases from January 1973 and died on Christmas morning 1976; and Mr W. Sutton, who joined the Hall staff almost exactly one year later and died on 30 April 1977. The sympathies of Aularians go out to their relatives.

GIFTS THE HALL warmly thanks the following : The late Mrs Dora Allen, stepmother of Principal Gerald Burton Allen, for a legacy of ÂŁ1000.00; Professor G. R. Allen (Emeritus Fellow) for a Victorian claret decanter bearing the insignia of the Scots Guards; Jesse P. Allen (matric. 1956) for two sets of panel etchings in colour executed and signed by himself; M. J. Cansdale (matric. 1956) for a silver Tastevin to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Principal's election to his office; Jeffrey Hackney (Emeritus Fellow) for a pair of silver 'berry' spoons (one Georgian, one Victorian); C. W. Hind (matric. 1974) for two altar cruets for use in the Chapel; A. I. Marsh (Senior Research Fellow) for a numbered copy (limited edition) of a drawing of the quadrangle by Charles Broadhurst; Barry Spurr (matric. 1974) for a silver-plated wafer box for use in the Chapel; Professor G. R. Wilson Knight (Honorary Fellow) for a bronze head of himself sculptured by Robert I. Russin, along with a photograph of Russin engaged on the work and an illustrated catalogue of the artist's other works; The St Edmund Hall Association for further substantial gifts to the Scholarship Fund, the Graham Hamilton Travel Fund and the Directory Fund, as well as towards the cost of the Magazine; The Fellows for six silver dessert spoons, of Old English pattern, in commemoration of the Principal's silver jubilee.

THE ADMISSION OF WOMEN has decided that the Hall, like almost all other men's colleges, should become co-residential and admit women to membership whether as Fellows, graduate students or undergraduates (for some years there have been women Lecturers). The momentous, first step was taken in July 1976, when a statute was passed deleting the clause in the Statutes prohibiting women from membership of the College. At this point a halt had to be called because both the Charter of Incorporation and certain deeds settling the relationship between

THE GOVERNING BODY

6

the Hall and Queen's specifically stated that it should be a place for the education of men members of the University. The agreement of Queen's was readily obtained, but the drawing up of a fresh deed and, more importantly, the special procedures prescribed for the amendment of the Charter took a considerable time. These complicated preliminaries, however, were completed early in Trinity Term, and Hebdomadal Council agreed to promote a decree giving the consent of the University to the statutory amendment (its consent was not deemed necessary to the alteration of the Charter). At the time of going to press (late July) the statute amending the Statutes and the Special Statute amending the Charter were under consideration by the Privy Council. Old members with eligible daughters should not, however, be impatient. Even assuming the approval of the Queen in Council, delays in implementing the new provisions are inevitable, for there is general agreement that the transition of the men's colleges to co-residence should be carried out in an orderly way. It is not expected that the Hall will be admitting girls until 1979 at earliest.

ACADEMIC SUCCESSES c. B. FREEMAN (1960) and J. M. Shneerson (1965) were granted the degree of Doctor of Medicine for research into immunotherapy in leukaemia and thoracic scoliosis respectively. Sixteen men (much the largest number in the Hall's history) obtained Firsts in Finals in 1977: I. Midgley (Chemistry); N. R. Johnson and M. I. Wood (Metallurgy); S. P. Edrich (Geology); A. C. Patterson (Engineering); S. M. Hutchinson (Mathematics); A. G. Crosby (Geography); G. Pollitt (History and Economics); G. P. Clark, L. J. Hall and T. B. Robinson (Physics); C. A. Penwarden (P.P.E.); B. R. Green and S. Khurshid (Jurisprudence); P. Gent (Modern Languages); R. A. Kelly (English). Of these M. I. Wood, S. P. Edrich and T. B. Robinson were awarded the International Nickel, the Burdett-Coutts and the Scott Prizes respectively for the best performances in their Honour Schools; while L. J. Hall had previously been awarded one of the coveted Kennedy Scholarships to the U.S.A. In Preliminary Examinations T. R. Astin (Geology), J. F. Christopher (Theology), and M. K. Power (P.P.E.) obtained Distinctions. In Honour Moderations the following obtained Firsts: A. J. Cooper, C. J. Elston and R. G. 7

Smith (Physics, Mathematics and Engineering); N. J. Henshaw, A. H. Phillips and J. D. Whiteman (Mathematics); J. Reynolds (Geography); A. M. Goreing (English). J. Montes-Larrain was awarded a Distinction in the Diploma in Economic Development.

INTERNAL AWARDS E. J. BURNS (English), A. N. Siopis (Law) and P. R. Tapster (Physics), who obtained Firsts in 1976 and resumed residence in Michaelmas Term, were elected to Honorary Scholarships.

K. M. Fisher and R. W. Series were elected to Brockhues Scholarships in Metallurgy in November 1976, and both they and A. N. McGilvray and D. G. McCartney were later awarded grants from the Brockhues Fund to help them to attend learned conferences in Metallurgy in this country or the U.S.A. A. H. Phillips, A. C. R. Jack and C. R. Wilson were awarded grants from the Cochrane Bequest to assist them with travel expenses, the two former in connection with vacation study and the last in connection with his attendance at a scholarly conference at Tours and work in Paris libraries. The following received grants of between ÂŁ20 and ÂŁ10 from the Graham Hamilton Travel Fund to help them to make expeditions involving enterprise and endurance in the long vacation. N. C. Cotton (trip to Spain to youth camp and windmill exploration); S. P. Tarran (caving in Jugoslavia); J. Samuel (archaeology in Devon, camping); G. W. Farquharson and T. R. Astin (geological study in Finmark); K. Davies (geological mapping in Austria and Dolomites); H. M. Papworth (voluntary forestry and rebuilding work in Spain and France); S. Goodchild and R. Warren (running from Post Office Tower to Eiffel Tower, rowing the Channel, for charity); A. R. Ellis (walking ~ n Norway and Dolomites); J. M. Hughes (work camp in Scandinavia); G. Dunford and R. A. Chadwick (climbing in Arctic Norway); S. Yiend (walking from John O'Groats to Land's End).

THE CHAPEL J. COWDREY being on sabbatical leave, Fr Edward Morris, of St Stephen's House, served as Acting Chaplain for the academic year 1976~77. The visiting preachers included the Revd P. R. Cornwell, Vicar of the combined parish, and Fr Michael Hollings in Michaelmas Term, Bishop Stephen Neill and Bishop Michael Ramsey in Hilary Term, and the Principal THE REVD H. E.

8

of Pusey House and the Revd J. Muddiman in Trinity Term.

The Holy Communion was sung instead of Evensong on two Sundays in each term, and was celebrated in the crypt of St Peter's both in Trinity Term and (for the parish) on St Peter's Day. Mass was said by a priest from the Roman Catholic Chaplaincy on one weekday evening in each term, and on the 15 November, the eve of St Edmund's Day, Fr John Crozier, parish priest of St Edmund's, Abingdon, offered mass for the furtherance of organic Christian unity. The Roman Catholic mass was also said in the crypt of St Peter's one evening in Trinity Term, probably the first celebration of the Roman rite in the church since the Reformation.

GOLDEN JUBILEE ONE OF THE happiest events of the summer term was the Mancipal's golden jubilee, and the Principal and Fellows celebrated the occasion and expressed their appreciation and regard for Mr Don Filer by entertaining him and Mrs Filer to dinner on Friday 6 May. At the appropriate moment the Principal presented him with a silver tankard recording his connection with the Hall from 1927 to 1977, and Mr Filer responded with a witty and superbly reminiscent speech.

COLLEGE COMMITTEE which was reached in June 1976 over the proposed increased charges (see Magazine 1975- 76, pp. 7 f.) was resolved early in Michaelmas Term. On the one hand, the Governing Body established for one year a system of 'hardship bursaries' for junior members who got into difficulties as a result of the Government's withdrawal of social security in the two short vacations. On the other hand, the proposal to hold in protest a partial rent strike was decisively defeated (213 votes to 78) at a referendum held on 15 October. At its first meeting of Michaelmas Term the College Committee considered the proposed hardship bursaries, and its recommendation that they should be administered by a committee appointed by the Governing Body with junior members coopted was accepted.

Throughout the year the Committee's deliberations covered a wide range of subjects, including M.C.R. dinners in vacations, the provision of more reading space in the Library, the problem of unidentified damage, and the use to which the Third World THE IMPASSE

9

Scholarship fund should be put. On this last there was a switch of opinion, for the Committee at first favoured using the money to provide books for academic institutions in the Third World, but later as a result of the persuasive arguments of T. L. Spafford decided to explore further means of bringing a Third World scholar to the Hall. In addition to the J.C.R. and M.C.R. officers the following junior members served on the Committee: in Michaelmas and Hilary Terms- A. M. L. Elliott, P. Desmond, R. J. Lane; in Trinity Term- P. T. Clipson, C. R. Hockey, M. R. Smith.

PRISONERS OF CONSCIENCE THE J.C.R. ASSUMED a more international stance during the year, focussing its attention on Chile and the Soviet Union as regimes which continue to deny basic human rights to their citizens.

It sent a birthday telegram to Sir Harold Wilson last year demanding an end to all British economic links with Chile, and subsequently adopted a political prisoner, Jose Candia Varas, who had been sentenced to twenty years imprisonment by a military tribunal. Bishop Michael Ramsey and others also took up his cause, and Senor Varas was eventually released and now resides in Sweden. In November 1976 the J.C.R. also adopted Yakov Nikolaevich Pavlov, who had worked as a technical planner in Kazakhistan untit 1973 but was condemned in 1974 to five years intensive regime in a prison camp and stripped of his parental rights over four of his eight children. A Baptist believer, he had committed the 'crimes' of giving his children a Christian education privately, possessing religious literature and disseminating 'lies defaming the Soviet state and social system'.

The J.C.R. sent letters to him and his wife, as well as to prison and government authorities, a petition to the Soviet Embassy, and a donation of ÂŁ60.00 to the 'Aid the Russian Church' fund.

HALL BALL 1977 headlined the main groups at this year's Ball on a remarkably dry night. Alberto y Lost Trios Paranoias satisfied the more bizarre tastes, while Quantum Jump were very heavy and no-one could fail to be infected by the electric energy of Shakin' Stevens. Between the musical extravaganzas could be heard the swan song of the late great Mad Mac Disco. As usual food and wine were in abundance, helped down

THE COLOURFUL KURSAAL FLYERS

by a seductive balalaika band. Other musi.cal en.tertainments included the incredible Oxcentrics and a crowded folk cellar with Chris Smith, Clive Penwarden and Fiddler's Guild symbolised the increasing popularity of Hall musicians (as were the Catte Street Rhythm Wreckers). An overall varied programme was supplemented by some novel circus acts in the Front Quad, madrigals, films, an unbelieveable fifteen minute rendering of Hamlet, and several other pluckings of strings and breakings of wind (ensemble).

For all this (and more) we have to thank Mark Elliott and his committee who made sure the night went smoothly and speedily cleared up afterwards. Security at other Balls, however, was not so good, as the SEH Commandos later found at New College, and we have to concur that 'Hall Balls are Best'!

PETER DESMOND

J.C.R. AND M;C.R. OFFICERS A. R. HARGREAVES resigned as J.C.R. President and R. W. Gaffey as Steward on 10 October 1976, when the J.C.R. voted, against their advice, to hold a referendum on a rent strike. After a short interval during which A. M. L. Elliott, Junior Treasurer, held the fort, M. W. Hardy was elected without opposition as President, and R. W. Gaffey agreed to resume the Stewardship, for the remainder of Michaelmas Term.

E. G. Gray and A. Lundie were then elected in the ordinary way as President and Steward respectively until December 1977. C. D. ('Dusty') Miller was President of the M.C.R. until the end of Trinity Term 1917, when he was succeeded by the Steward, A. N. McGilvray, and W. B. Cogar became M.C.R. Steward in his place.

THE LONDON DINNER 1977 ONCE MORE there was the most excellent lamb to greet the old members who assembled for the London Dinner which followed the Annual General Meeting of the St Edmund Hall Association at Simpsons-in-theStrand on Tuesday llth Ja[\uary.

In his speech of welcome Sir Denis Wright greeted the Principal and the President of the JCR, Edward Gray. Good wishes were conveyed from Dr Emden and Jack Allan, the latter somewhere in the Andes.

Tributes were paid to the Committee of the Association and especially to Jon Shortridge for arranging the Dinner again .

The Principal was congratulated on his twenty-five years in office and on all the achievements in the Hall during that period. Thanking the Association, the Principal referred to Sir Denis Wright's services as President over the last three years. He went on to describe events during the last twelve months at the Hall, when sporting life had survived the drought and the closure of facilities in the Parks. Special note¡ should be taken of the fact that the Hall's Junior Research Fellowship had been advertised as open to women as well as to men, a sign of things to come. Finally, old members might derive some cheer from the fact that, although the Bursary had been broken into at\d the College's entire stock of Mars Bars stolen, supplies of S.E.H. whisky had been left untouched.

During the evening Dr Neville Williams was admitted as President of the St Edmund Hall Association and warm tributes paid to him.

MINUTES OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 11 JANUARY 1977 THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the St Edmund Hall Association was held at Simpsons-in-the-Strand, London, on Tuesday 11 January 1977 at 6.15 p.m. The President, Sir Denis Wright, G.C.M.G., was in the chair.

1. MINUTES The Minutes of the last Meeting, held 13 January 1976, having been published in the 1975-6 Magazine, were taken as read, confirmed and signed. There were no matters arising.

2. HON. TREASURER'S REPORT (a) Financial Year 1 August 1975-31 July 1976 The audited accounts, dated 5 October 1976, were before the Meeting and would, said B. M. Forrest, the Hon. Treasurer, be published in the 1976-77 Magazine, as required by the Constitution.

Income and Expenditure The previous accounts had covered a period of 15 months, including the overlap on changing from May- April to August-July. Even so, subscription income had fallen proportionately, only slightly offset by increases in Building Society interest and a small donation. Expenditure, however, had also fallen- chiefly on the Magazine and the appropriations for Scholarships and the Directory Fund, the latter receiving only the standard £300 instead of the exceptional £600 in the overlap year.

Thus the £551 surplus contrasted with the £58 deficit forecast this time last year.

Balance Sheet With this surplus and the transfer of £300 to the Directory Fund, our assets were now up by £851, to £2,999, mostly interest-bearing.

14

(b) Forecast for the Financial Year 1 August 1976-31 July 1977 The surplus should be c. £3 72, a reduction on last year chiefly owing to increased Magazine costs. The accumulated surplus over the last two years was £963 (£412 plus £551): this would reduce to £163 if we had to meet a deficit in publishing the Directory this year at the quoted estimate.

The President congratulated the Hon. Treasurer on his admirable housekeeping and the very satisfactory surplus he had achieved two years running. It was proposed, seconded, and agreed that the accounts be adopted.

During the ensuing discussion the wisdom of accumulating large funds at a time of rapid inflation was questioned. The President pointed out that there was little danger of large surpluses or any big accumulation of funds: it was important, however, to build up some reserves in order to pay for the directory and enable allocations to be made to the Hall.

In answer to a question about whether Building Societies were· the best investment for the Association's funds the Hon. Auditor pointed out that as the Association could not be treated as a charity its income from investments was taxable: Building Societies provided as attractive a yield as other investments offering seemingly larger gross yields. In addition investments in Building Societies could be withdrawn at short notice without loss.

The Meeting agreed that there should be no change in the Association's investment policy, which had been the subject of careful scrutiny some years earlier.

3. DIRECTORY The Hon. Treasurer reported that the Executive Committee had decided to publish a new directory in 1977, as envisaged at the last AGM. The cost, at present estimated at £2,000, would be met by supplementing the Directory Fund, totalling £1,200, by drawing on the General Fund.

Doubts were expressed about the need for a revised directory so soon after the 1974 edition. Some members scarcely consulted the directory from one year to another. Could not the computer produce a list of changes and additions for circulation with the Magazine each year? Or might not those wanting specific information phone the Hall? The President pointed out that if we waited longer the cost would inevitably be higher. He also mentioned that under the Association's constitution members were entitled, inter alia, to the directory.

A show of hands was indecisive on immediate publication. It was then agreed that: (a) search be made for a cheaper printer. (b) the Bursar be consulted about the possibility of printing fewer copies. (c) if possible a decision on publication be delayed until the members had been consulted: this to be done when invitations for the summer Reunion Dinner were issued. If a decision on publication could not be delayed until after the June Executive Committee publication should proceed.

15

(d) consultation with members about the future need for a directory should take place whether or not publication took place this year.

4. ALLOCATIONS The President reported the Executive Committee's decision last June to allocate £200 to the Hall Scholarship Fund, £80 to the Graham Hamilton Travel Fund, and £50 to the restoration of books in the Old Library.

5. REUNION DINNER AND GARDEN PARTY The President reported that the June 1976 Dinner had been a most enjoyable occasion. He also mentioned that in the view of the Executive Committee the Garden Party, last held in 1975 and generously paid for by the Hall, should take place every three years instead of annuallythus one would fall within the term of each successive President.

6. ELECTIONS The President read out the Executive Committee's nominations for the offices shown below, the names given being elected or re-elected after due proposal and seconding, with special acclamation for the incoming President and the Hon.

Yardley.** *Fellow **Emeritus Fellow For the first time in many years there was no flag flying. to greet the large number of old members who assembled for the Reunion on 25th June. It is a large and heavy flag and had broken its pole after loyal service over a windy Jubilee. There was very nearly no menu either, but the Principal's typewriter had been brought into service 17

at the last moment and if the list of culinary delights was even then not quite complete, at least the fish course came as a pleasant surprise.

The Principal began his speech by referring to the death of Neville Williams, thanking Sir Denis Wright for agreeing to serve a further year as President of the St Edmund Hall Association. Sadly Dr. Emden could not be present but he conveyed his 'fraternal greetings to the brethren', apologizing for the 'uncooperative state of my cardiac apparatus'. The Principal noted that the life of the Hall was as vigorous as ever and if, for the first time in many years, there were no sporting cups to display, this should not be seen as any more than a pause on the road to greater successes. After all the First Eight had advanced two places to fifth on the river. The year had been marked by considerable success in drama, and there promised to be a record number of Firsts in Schools. The New Buildings Fund was now only ÂŁ4,000 short of the target figure of ÂŁ125,000 and a single generous gift could see us home. Saving the sweetest delights till last, he referred to the forthcoming change in the Hall's Charter which will permit the entry of women undergraduates to St Edmund Hall. Were certain old members seen to be discussing the academic talents of their daughters with the sixteen Fellows present?

Replying, Sir Denis Wright thanked the Principal and Fellows for the occasion and the Chef for his splendid meal. We are all looking forwards to the triennial garden party next year.

CLUBS AND SOCIETIES THE ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL CLUB Cuppers Captain: J. HERLIHY League Captain: M. FABIAN Secretary: M. S. REED THE CLUB had a very successful season once again. Three teams were entered in the league and a number of players were included in the Blues squad, three of whom played against Cambridge. The First XI finished fourth in the League and the second XI were top of their division.

The Hall again dominated Cuppers. Our loyal supporters were able to witness the remarkable spectacle of the Third XI playing the Second XI in the final of the Second XI competition. The Seconds eventually won on penalties after extra time. The First XI fought hard to retain the cup but lost in the final to a strong Queen's side. This was after the replay went to extra time.

The Club also represented the University at Crystal Palace in the five-acside competition of the Varsity games. They beat Queen's in the final. The Hall can be proud of a memorable season.

M.F.

THE BADMINTON CLUB Captain: J. TAYLOR

Secretary: R. A. BURGER

AS USUAL the Club had a successful year though the Cuppers side was surprisingly defeated in the final. John Taylor and Anson Jack are to be congratulated on representing the University in the Blues match; Anson has been selected as next year's Blues captain. John Christopher is next year's captain of the Woodpeckers. Colours have been awarded to these players and to Mike Wood.

R.A.B.

THE BOAT CLUB Captain: R. PESKETT Secretary: P . Hrns cH Vice-Captain: R. J. MOORE Treasurer: C. B. SUNTER THE HALL entered seven crews for Summer Eights this year. The results of the higher crews boded well for the future: the first VIII bumped Magdalen and Univ. to gain fifth place on the river and the second VIII also achieved two bumps. The fourth VIII got three bumps, promoting themselves to the Fifth Division. Torpids unfortunately had to be cancelled because of bad flooding.

Bill Baker and Robert Moore rowed for Isis this year and Peter Smith was in the successful Lightweight VIII. The Hall won OUBC Junior Pairs and is entering a IV at Henley this year.

35

THE BRIDGE CLUB Captain : BOB BURGER Secretary: MARK DEVEREUX FIVE TEAMS from the Hall entered Bridge Cuppers this year . All achieved a certain measure of success. The team of Rob Mciver, Mark Devereux, Paul McKenna and Howard Kingsbury deserve special mention . They reached the quarter-finals of the plate competition.

B.B. THE CHESS CLUB Captain: W. H. KINGSBURY THE HALL first team outclassed most of the opposition in the Second Division of the college league, remaining unbeaten throughout the season and easily gaining promotion. The chaotic organisation of the lower divisions meant that the Hall second team played very few matches.

Next season's prospects in Division One seem good as the entire first team will be available.

W.H.K. THE CRICKET CLUB Captain,: IAN MIDGELEY Secretary: ALAN BING THIS WAS A frustrating season for the Hall. Bad weather, the exam commitments of many of the strongest players and the perennial problem of finding a pitch all contributed to the disappointing season. Ten games were played, three of which were victories. It is encouraging that a talented nucleus of cricketers emerged amongst the freshmen.

The season will be remembered for a few fin~ performances by individuals- particularly Bill Hollington's 59 against a strong Chesterfield team, Ian Midgeley's innings against Brize Norton and against Merton, and Dave Bourne's lonely effort against Latymer School.

A.B. THE CROSS-COUNTRY CLUB Captain: H. M. p APWORTH Secretary: A. J. SENIOR THIS SEASON proved to be one of ups and downs, showing above all that while we have great potential on paper, we have difficulty rallying our forces to good effect on individual occasions. Thus while we slipped badly in the league competition, we finished very close (one point) runners-up in Cuppers, and finished 57th out of 100 teams in the annual Hyde Park Relay, an improvement of nine places on last year.

The St. Edmund Hall Road Relay took place with a record number of entries and press coverage. Although the course had to be changed at the last minute because of conditions in the Parks, the event was very successful. Southampton University finished first and the Hall finished a creditable sixth, the first of the Oxbridge colleges. The Principal presented the trophies and medals in the Iffley Road stadium after the event.

THE DARTS CLUB Secretary: P. INCE Captain: A. M. R. STONE THIS YEAR has seen an upsurge of interest in Hall Darts which was reflected in the entrance of three teams for Cuppers. What a pity this enthusiasm was not matched with skill! Nevertheless the first team did regain its rightful position in the First Division after a close promotion fight with Univ. The club is looking forward to next season when the resounding call of 'ARRERS' should be heard echoing around the Buttery once more.

P.I. THE HOCKEY CLUB Captain: P . T. CLIPSON Secretary: A. ELLIS THIS WAS a good season for the Hall. A strong team narrowly missed winning the First Division title. A single defeat against St John's robbed us of the top position in this, our first season since gaining promotion.

It was a very enjoyable season marred only by an early exit from Cuppers and the terrible weather we suffered for much of the season.

P.T.C. THE RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB Cuppers Captain: C. R. BROWN League Captain: J. SAMUEL Secretaries: J. D. CHARLES and M. R. SMITH HALL RUGBY this season had mixed fortunes, with much achieved but little to show for it. The League side, ably led by Justin Samuel, finished third in the table, one point behind the winners. However it proved a firm base for a competent and spirited Cuppers team, qualities gained from Chris Brown's enthusiasm. The all round cohesion and fluidity definitely gained a fillip from the December tour to North Wales, and this helped dispose of Lincoln and Wadham in Cuppers, despite the absence of two Blues. In the semi-final, however, the Hall fell prey to injuries and to the eventual winners, Univ. (9-16). The experience gained and the blooding of new players and old noses presage well for the coming season.

J.D.C. THE TABLE TENNIS CLUB Captain and Secretary,: C. S. RICHARDS THE HALL TEAMS enjoyed a reasonably good season, in spite of a shortage of keen players. The first team gained promotion to the Second Division. In Cuppers the Hall was eliminated in the first round.

C.S.R. THE TENNIS CLUB Captain: E. G. WAREING Secretary: C. A. ROACH DUE MAINLY TO strength in depth, this year's team won all its league matches in Division II, thereby earning a place in Division I next season.

In Cuppers the side lost to Balliol in the quarter-finals.

C.A.R. 37

Congratulations In addition to the sporting achievements mentioned above, the following are to be congratulated for their performances against Cambridge: Steve Johnson (Judo), Bill Hollington (Rackets), John Bodkin and Chris Eley (Polo), Hugh McManners (Boxing), Nick Henshaw (Lacrosse). Tim Bryan has been selected as next year's captain of the University Rugby Football Club.

THE ART COMMITTEE Secretaries: A. BING and C. W. HIND 'P resident: A. HARGREA YES THIS w AS A quiet year for the Art Committee. In Hilary Term we had a successful exhibition of the 'Hidden Pictures'-those of the Hall's works of art which are considered too valuable to be hung anywhere other than in the S.C.R. In Trinity members of the Ruskin School of Art contributed pictures in various media to an exhibition in the Party Room.

The loan scheme was more popular this year and the programme of re-framing continued. The only picture we have bought is a sketch by William Morris for the 'Men of Galilee' panel in the East window of the Chapel which was .executed in 1865 by Morris and Co. It is hoped that the sketch will be hung in the Ante-Chapel.

C.W.H.

THE CHRISTIAN UNION Secretary: D. N. PRATT THIS YEAR saw the Christian Union flourishing and growing. There were several visitors to the group this year, including Graham Kendrick, a Christian singer-songwriter, who gave an entertaining and challenging concert.

Dicussion groups started in Trinity term to examine the basic teachings of Christ. These were rewarding and it is hoped to continue them next year.

D.N.P.

THE LIDDON SOCIETY President,: R. A. JUPP DURING HILARY TERM the society organized the Hall's activities as part of the Mission to the¡ University. This was led by Cardinal Suenens, the Primate of Belgium. Christians of all persuasions from the Hall played a part in the Mission. We were privileged to have as our assistant Missioner Fr. Michael Hollings, the former R.C. chaplain to the University. Our thanks go to him for all his patient work, and also to Fr. Edward Morris of St Stephen's House, who acted as College Chaplain during the Chaplain's sabbatical and who gave us a great deal of his time.

THE FILM CLUB

Organiser: R. E. NOWAK FOUR FILMS were shown this year, the most successful of which was 'Taxi Driver'- a reflection of the prevailing emotional climate in the Hall perhaps! Sic transit gloria artis- as Sam Goldwyn ought to have said.

FOLK EVENINGS

THE BUTTERY WELL found its ancient timbers being shaken on two occasions this year when folk-music concerts were held during Michaelmas and Hilary terms. Entertainment was provided as usual by Trevor Ryder and Clive Penwarden, with the noble assistance of Dick Sands (St Edmund Hall's Poet Laureate?) and Martin Saunders, who was not the only person present to be surprised at his own talents.

Thanks are due to the J.C.R. Presidents and Joe, the barman, who between them made it all possible. An atmosphere of unrestrained participation was enjoyed by all, perhaps with the miraculous aid of a certain Devizes brewery. . . .

T.R. THE HEARNE SOCIETY President.: J. E. EDE Secretary: J. SPURR

THE socIETY's first meeting of the year welcomed the Dean, who spoke of the impact of Cook's discoveries on the popular literature of the time.

He was followed by Dr P. Langford of Lincoln, who suggested that eighteenth-century English politics were far less corrupt, stable and boring than is often thought. Dr S. J. Loach of Somerville and Dr R. A. C. Parker of Queen's presented papers later in the year. The final meeting of the year was treated to a witty exploration of the historiography of the French Revolution by Mr S. M. Sacha of Brasenose. The Society's programme was rounded off by the annual dinner, at which Dr C. R. Lucas was the Guest speaker.

J.S. THE MUSIC CLUB

President: R. 0STERLEY THE NUMBER OF people involved in the Club's activities was relatively small this year. Nevertheless there were some enjoyable and memorable events, notably a talk given by Dr Sherlaw-Johnson, two trips to concerts at the Festival Hall and the now traditiOnal Christmas 'Face the Music' quiz. The ordinary meetings usually took the form of record evenings; of these a particularly successful one was an informative, illustrated talk on Mahler's symphonies given by Robin Osterley.

P.C. 39

THE MUSIC SOCIETY President: B. ST J. TRAFFORD

Secretary: C. W. HIND

THIS YEAR the Society continued its policy of giving popular and varied concerts. In Michaelmas Term Robin Osterley made his maiden appearance as conductor of Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony and Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. The soloist was Alec McGregor. The dining hall was packed and the concert was a great success.

In Hilary Term Bernard Trafford, the organ scholar, directed a wind ensemble with music by Mozart and Richard Strauss.

C.W.H.

THE JOHN OLDHAM SOCIETY President : R. A. HUFTON

Secretary: P. M. WATSON

THIS WAS one of the better years for the Society. The cuppers entry, 'The Education of Skinny Spew' directed by Jeremy Howe, was very successful, coming a close second overall. This competition fulfilled its purpose in that people involved with 'Skinny Spew' have since gone on to appear in major productions within the University. Jeremy Howe is undertaking a major project with OUDS next term.

The Society, in conjunction with Pembroke College, produced Joe Orton's comedy 'Loot' in Hilary term. Directed by Pete Watson and Patrick Cook the play went down very well, with full houses on most nights. One of the macabre consequences of the production is that the society is now the proud owner of a slightly used coffin. Any offers?

B. M. FORREST (Honorary Treasurer)

I have examined the books and vouchers of the Association for the year ended 31 July, 1976. In my opinion the above Balance Sheet and annexed Income and Expenditure Account give respectively a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Association at 31 July, 1976, and of the excess of Income over Expenditure for the year ended on that date.
