ST EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE VOL. XI, No. 5

OCTOBER 1978 JUNIOR EDITOR 1977-78: KEITH R. SCOTT

PRE-ELECTION USING THE POWERS conferred by the Statutes of the Hall, the Governing Body (for this purpose the Vice-Principal and Fellows) early in March pre-elected Sir Ieuan Maddock, C.B., O.B.E., Hon. D.Sc. (Wales), F.R.S., as Principal in succession to the Revd Dr J. N. D. Kelly, who is statutorily required to retire on the 31 July following his seventieth birthday (13 April 1979). Sir Ieuan, who will therefore enter upon office on 1 August 1979, was born in 1917 and educated at Gowerton Grammar School, Glamorgan, and the University of Wales (Swansea). Since 1940 he has had a distinguished career in the government scientific service, entering the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment in 1960 and becoming Assistant Director in 1965. There followed six years at Mintech, where he held first the post of Deputy Controller B and later Controller, Industrial Technology. He was Chief Scientist to the Department of Trade and Industry 1971 to 1974, and of the ¡ Department of Industry 1974 to 1977, being knighted in 1975.

He was also Director of the National Physical Laboratory 1976 to 1977, and is at present Secretary of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. An Honorary D.Sc. of the University of Wales, he is a member of the Science Research Council and of the Court of the University of Surrey; and he has published articles in various scientific and technical journals, and is a frequent broadcaster. A married man with a son of university age, he will be the first scientist, in the modern sense of the term, to have presided over the Hall. The MAGAZINE joins with Aularians everywhere in offering him and Lady Maddock a warm welcome, and in wishing him every success and happiness in his tenure of the principalship.

It deserves note that Sir leuan will be the first Principal 1

of the Hall to have been elected by the procedure traditional in almost all Oxford colleges. All the Principals from Thomas Lancaster, admitted 26 February 1564 I 5, down to and including Mr A. B. Emden, admitted 17 January 1929, were appointed

by The Queen's College; while Dr Kelly, admitted 11 October 1951, was elected by the board of Principal and Trustees set up by the 1937 statutes. The right of the Fellows to elect the Principal, now exercised for the first time, was provided for by the collegiate statutes approved by the Queen in Council on 15 February 1957.

THE PRINCIPAL AND FELLOWS THE PRINCIPAL, in his capacity as a Pro-Vice-Chancellor, represented the University at the five hundredth anniversary of the founding of the University of Tiibingen during the weekend 7- 10 October 1977. On 27 October he presented the prizes at The Royal Belfast Academical Institution at the invitation of its Principal, Mr S. V. Peskett (matric. 1937). He served throughout the year as chairman of the Curators of the Sheldonian Theatre, and has been nominated as one of the Pro-Vice-Chancellors for the year 1978-79.

The MAGAZINE congratulates Dr Emden on publishing in 1977 his monograph Medieval Decorated Tiles in Dorset. It also notes with pleasure that another Honorary Fellow, Professor G. Wilson Knight, visited Oxford in March this year and presented his lecture and recital 'Shakespeare's Dramatic Challenge' under the auspices of the Oxford Literary Society.

The Revd E. G. Midgley resigned as Vice-Principal on 12 July, having held the office since October 1969 (when he succeeded Mr C. F. W. R. Gullick). At its meeting held that day the Governing Body recorded its appreciation and thanks for his many services as Vice-Principal, which included presiding over and managing the business arising out of the special meetings of the Governing Body in Michaelmas Term 1977 and Hilary Term 1978 held for the pre-election of a new Principal.

Under the present By-laws the Vice-Principalship is now held by the senior Fellow who has not previously held it. Mr R. E. Alton was therefore duly appointed Vice-Principal in succession to Mr Midgley with effect from 12 July 1978. The Revd E. G. Midgley has also retired as Dean, having been Junior Dean from October 1951 to October 1956 and Dean from that date onwards. Before Grace at dinner on the last Sunday of Trinity 2

Term the President of the Junior Common Room (Mr Paul 'Simpson) came up to the high table and, amid general acclamation, presented him with a set of inscribed pewter wine cups in token of the affectionate appreciation of many generations of junior members (in which senior members heartily join) of his firm but understanding exercise of the functions of Dean.

The new Vice-Principal, the MAGAZINE notes with satisfaction, is Chairman of the Faculty of English Language and Literature and has been chosen for the important position of Editor of The Review of English Studies. The Revd H. E. J. Cowdrey has relinquished the office of Chaplain, having held it since his election as Fellow and Tutor in Modern History in 1956. After the service of Holy Communion on Sunday 18 June he was presented by the junior members, as an expression of their appreciation and gratitude, with a print depicting Trinity College, where he studied as an undergraduate. The Governing Body has appointed the Revd E. G. Midgley to succeed him as Chaplain. Fr Midgley assumed the office of Chaplain on 1 October, and Aularians will wish him well in his ministry.

Dr. E. R. Oxburgh, Fellow and Tutor in Geology since December 1964, is to be congratulated on his appointment to the chair of Mineralogy and Petrology at Cambridge, and ¡ also on his election as a Fellow of the Royal Society. The College will feel his departure greatly, for he has rendered it signal service both as a Tutorial Fellow and as a Tutor for Admissions, as well as in a host of other ways. Its warmest wishes, however, accompany him and Mrs Oxburgh t o ¡cambridge, where he has been elected a Fellow of Trinity Hall. Professor Sir Peter Hirsch is to be congratulated on being awarded, in November 1977, a Royal Medal by the Royal Society for his studies of the structures and properties of imperfect crystals and of atomic and crystallographic processes. To comply with the Safety at Work Act Dr C. J. Harris, has been appointed Safety Officer, while the Domestic Bursar (Rear Admiral G. C. Leslie) is Fire Officer.

Among Emeritus Fellows the Revd Professor J. McManners is to be congratulated on being elected a Fellow of the British Academy. Dr D. C. M. Yardley has resigned from the Barber Chair of Law at Birmingham and has returned to Oxford to become Head of the new Department of Law, Politics and Economics at the Oxford Polytechnic. He is a Constitutional Commissioner for Cyprus.

3

ELECTIONS AND APPOINTMENTS Fellow of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, was in November 1977 elected into a Tutorial Fellowship in Law with effect from I October 1978; he was at the same time appointed to a University Lecturership.

Mr Wyatt, who was Commonwealth Fellow at the University of Chicago Law School 1970-71, was Lecturer at Liverpool University 1971 ~75, and has been at Emmanuel (his college as an undergraduate) since 1975. An expert in European Community law, he was called to the )Jar in 1972.

His election means that the College once again has two Law Fellows. In March 1978 Hugh Crawford Jenkyns, Ph.D. (Leic.), M.A. (Camb.), M.A. status, was elected into a Tutorial Fellowship in Geology, also with effect from 1 October . 1978. Dr Jenkyns, it will be recalled, is University Lecturer in Sedimentology, and was appointed a Lecturer of the College in 1977; from 1973 to 1977 he had been Lecturer at Durham University.

The College thus continues to have two Geology Fellows, despite Dr Oxburgh's departure to Cambridge. In May 1978 ' the Governing Body elected Philip Burgess Morsberger, M.A., Ruskin Master of Drawing, into a Professorial Fellowship with effect from the middle of that month. Mr Morsberger, who was born at Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A., has had a distinguished career both as a teacher of art and as a creative artist; he has held a number of exhibitions of his work, and has contributed to galleries and permanent collections in the United States. His election coincides with the closer association of the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art with the University as a 'unit of academic administration', and with the creation by the University of the new degree of Bachelor of Fine Art. Dr. E. R. Oxburgh, who (as reported above) has resigned from his Tutorial Fellowship to become a Professor at Cambridge, and Mr Vivian H. Ridler, whose Professorial Fellowship terminated when he ceased to be Printer to the University, have been elected into Emeritus Fellowships.

Pamela Mary Burnett, B.Sc. (Liverpool), Demonstrator in the School of Geography, has been appointed Lecturer in Physical Geography, and the Lecturerships held by Mrs Cynthia Macdonald (French), Mrs Sarah Ogilvie-Thomson¡ (English Language) and Dr Lucas (Anatomy) have been renewed for DERRICK ARTHUR WYATT, LL.B., M.A. (CAMB.),

4

further periods. In addition, the Governing Body has granted the title of Honorary Lecturer in Law for the year 1978-79 to Mr Andrew R. Thornhill and Mr John D. Adams in grateful recognition of their services as visiting tutors in Law during the past two years, when the College was without a second Law Fellow.

THE OFFICE OF DEAN has appointed Dr P. J. Collins, Fellow and Tutor in Mathematics, as Dean from 1 October in succession to the Revd E. G. Midgley. Dr Collins has already acquired considerably experience of decanal duties, having held the offices of Sub-Dean and then Junior Dean for a number of years. The Governing Body further agreed that there should be a Junior Dean who should be required to live in college and who should be expected to shoulder the main burden of the day-to-day 'policing' of the College; he might be either a Fellow of the College or, alternatively, a postgraduate or other person of senior status. It gave its Nominating Committee executive power to nominate a Junior Dean, and in the event the person who was chosen, and who has agreed to serve, is Mr William B. Cogar, a graduate of the University of Kentucky, U.S.A. Mr Cogar is a well known and respected figure in the College, having been (among other things) Steward of the Middle Common Room and as such a member of the College Committee. In addition the Governing Body agreed that, if the Junior Dean should not be a Fellow, a Fellow should be appointed as Deputy Dean to help and work in regular consultation with the Dean, and to stand in for him when he is absent from Oxford. Mr J. C. B. Gosling, Fellow and Tutor in Philosophy, who was Senior Proctor 1977-78, has been appointed to this office.

THE GOVERNING BODY

CO-RESIDENCE to the Charter and the Statutes making it possible for women _to become members of the College were approved by Her Majesty the Queen in Council on 9 February 1978. From that historic date women have been eligible, on exactly the same terms as men, not only for admission as scholars, exhibitioners and commoners, or as graduate students, but for election to Fellowships of all categories and ¡to the Principalship. (For a number of years the Hall has had women

THE AMENDMENTS

5

as Lecturers, but Lecturers do not count, in the legal sense, as 'members of the College'.) As a result Mrs V. M. Jones has become a Junior Research Fellow, but although a 'number of candidates are at present under consideration it is unlikely that the College will have many, if any, female undergraduates before October 1979. A point which is sometimes overlooked is that the admission of girls will entail a proportionate diminution in the number of young men admitted as undergraduates, for no increase in the overall total of junior members is contemplated or would indeed be practicable.

GIFTS TO THE COLLEGE are due to the Revd J. E. Mowll (matric. 1931), who has presented a copy of the Ackermann print of the Hall and a drawing of the churchyard face of the Hall by Ethel Chesswright of Sark; also to the late Neville Williams, who bequeathed the Hall a legacy of ÂŁ100; also to the St Edmund Hall Association for further substantial gifts to the Scholarship Fund, the Graham Hamilton Travel Fund, the Directory Fund, and towards the cost of producing the MAGAZINE, as well as for the gift of ;JOO to the Boat Club towards the purchase of a new boat. Particular thanks are owing to Dr Harold F. Brooks, Emeritus Professor of the University of London, who has handed over during his lifetime his collection of editions of the works of John Oldham on permanent loan to the College, with the stipulation that after his death it should pass into its possession, and who has also offered to present to the College his photograph of the autograph MS in Bodley, copies of his own Oldham publications and MS collections on Oldham, and the portrait of himself by Clara Ewald and other autobiographical material. Noting that Professor Brooks is the foremost scholar in this field, the Governing Body has gratefully accepted his generous offer, and has assured him that it will do its best to house his collections worthily and find a suitable place for hanging his portrait.

WARM THANKS

THREE BANNERS were this year installed in the Wolfson Hall. The first and largest, which was placed in position in Hilary Term, is a magnificent representation of the traditional

THREE ARMORIAL BANNERS

6

arms of the Hall; it hangs on the south wall behind and above the high table. The other two, smaller in size and oblong in shape, appeared towards the end of Trinity Term and hang alongside each other on the north wall. They represent respectively the alternative arms attributed to St Edmund (azure, three suns in glory) and the arms of Oseney Abbey (or, two bendlets azure), which owned the site of the Hall from about 1270 until the Dissolution .. With their splendid colours these embellishments certainly break the monotony of the wooden panelling, and it is hoped that they will improve the acoustics of the dining hall. They have been paid for out of the legacy bequeathed to the Hall by the late Mrs T. K. (Dora) Allen and thus 'commemorate a lady who greatly loved St Edmund Hall and was loved by all the Aularians who knew her.

MEMORIES OF MORRIS 10 OCTOBER 1977 the Vice-Principal, in the absence of the Principal, unveiled an inscribed glass plaque in the doorway of No. 48 High Street, which is the property of the College and is at present let as a wine shop, recording the fact that William Richard Morris, later to become famous as Sir William Morris and then Lord Nuffield, had as a young man used the shop for making and repairing bicycles, thereby laying the foundations of the motor-car enterprise with which his name is associated. The money for the plaque was provided by British Leyland, and the unveiling was part of extended celebrations in Oxford commemorating the hundredth anniversary of William Morris's birth.

ON MONDAY

REFURBISHING the long vacation of 1977 and the whole subsequent academic year the Besse Building was the scene of complex and costly operations designed to secure the building itself and enhance the accommodation it contains. The works planned and taken in hand have included re-wiring, the fitting of effective double-glazing on the High Street frontage, the strengthening of the bay-windows, the installation of gas central-heating and of basins in individual rooms, the provision of boilers, and improved toilets and facilities for showers, and the painting of the whole exterior overlooking the High. During

THROUGHOUT

7

the past long vacation further extensive work was undertaken involving the narrowing of the corridor on the top floor of the Besse Building and the reconstruction of the D Block. The object of the former was, by reducing the breadth of the corridor, to make a number of smallish rooms larger and more attractive. The object of the latter was in part to meet the more exacting fire-regulations, but also to make the D Block more accessible to Besse by taking out its separate staircases and continuing through it the corridors of Besse. In the end the College will have both safer and greatly improved accommodation. This is a brief interim report, and it is hoped that next year's MAGAZINE will contain a full account of what has been achieved.

FRONTAL ON VIEW AULARIANS will be interested to learn that, among the exhibits shown at the Exhibition of 20th Century Church Embroidery held in the Chapter House, Canterbury Cathedral in August in connection with the Lambeth Conference, was an altar frontal lent by the Principal and Fellows of the Hall. This was the probably unique frontal of bark-cloth, adorned with red and black paint, made in 1936 by Mwanapungwe, an African of the Chipili District of Zambia (then called Northern Rhodesia), at the suggestion of Padre Fiennes, of the U.M.C.A. The frontal was presented to the Hall in 1936, and a full account of its workmanship and other particulars of its making is contained in an article, over the initials A.B.E., in the volume of the MAGAZINE for that year. It may be recalled that barkcloth painted in this way was at one time extensively used to make blankets and clothing in Central Africa. The frontal has not been used in the Chapel for many years, the altar having been reduced to a size more suitable to the proportions of the building.

ACADEMIC SUCCESSES IN MICHAELMAS TERM 1977 D. D. H. Way was awarded the Gibbs Prize for Modern History. In April 1978 the George Herbert Hunt Travelling Scholarship, given for the purpose of Clinical Study or Research in Medicine, was awarded to J. N. Thomas, M.A., B.M., B.Ch. (matric. 1962). The two Senior Heath Harrison Scholarships were awarded to E. G. Maddocks

Robertson's First in Physics was the best in the whole School, and he was awarded the Scott Prize on his performance in the examination; and P. J. Asquith, who obtained a very good Second in Geography, was runner-up for the Herbertson Prize. B. Wilson passed the B.Phil. examination with Distinction. The following, who obtained Firsts in June I July 1977 and continued in residence to work for higher degrees, were elected to Honorary Scholarships of the College in Michaelmas Term 1977: A. G. Crosby (Geography), P. Gent (Modern Languages), B. R. Green (Jurisprudence), R. A. Kelly (English), S. Khurshid (Jurisprudence), T. B. Robinson (Physics), M. I. Wood (Metallurgy).

TRAVEL A WARDS GRANTS FROM THE Cochrane Bequest, which is intended to support travel with academic objectives (with a preference fo: former pupils of Haberdashers' Aske's School), were made to A. C. R. Jack (Old Haberdasher), A. H. Phillips (Old Haberdasher), and P. J. Aspden. In the case of the first two of these the grants were to cover the cost of journeys from their

9

homes to London libraries, while A. C. R. Jack needed financial help to enable him to use the facilities of libraries in Athens for research in recent Greek politics. The following received grants of either ÂŁ10 or ÂŁ20 from the Graham Hamilton Travel Fund, supplemented by a generous subsidy from the St Edmund Hall Association, to help them to make expeditions involving enterprise and endurance in the long vacation: J. Samuel (walking tour in Wales); P. H . Hirsch (cycling and camping in Spain); C. J. Blount (University expedition to Shiant Island); J. D. Charles (bus and camping trip through Afghanistan); J. M. Hughes (University expedition to the Gilbert Isles); T. G. Blenkinsop (geological expedition t o Kashmir); P. T. Foster (twenty days in an international work-camp in the Black Forest); J. M. Newey (camping in Italy); D. A. Berman (geological expedition to Peru); D. G. Goodall (trip to a bird observatory in Canada).

COLLEGE COMMITTEE J.C.R. and M.C.R. officers, the following junior members served on the College Committee in Michaelmas and Hilary Terms 1977-78: P. T. Clipson, C. R. Hockey, M. R. Smith; in Trinity Term 1978 : M. S. Hockey, A. Lundie, S. A. Staite. Throughout the year the Committee carried out a great deal of down-to-earth, constructive work, dealing with such matters as the Summer Ball, the installation of vandalproof telephones, college safety arrangements in compliance with the new legislation, the dining requirements imposed on graduates, bill sticking in unauthorised places, and facilities for junior members living out. The provision of a Third World Scholarship, and the finding of a scholar, were recurrent items on the agenda; in the event the scholarship had to be held over until 1979. There was much debate on the pinning down of responsibility for unidentified damage; the scheme eventually agreed was that the Dean should keep an account of such damage, and the need to make a charge for it to undergraduates should be assessed annually by the Committee in the light of his report. Rumours of friction between the kitchen and serving staffs, which had caused great concern to the J.C.R., were handled with tact and firmn ess. In Hilary Term the Committee held an important discussion on the practical implications of IN ADDITION TO THE

10

co-residence; it broadly accepted a detailed report of the O.U.S.U. Co-residence Committee, and agreed that first-year women should not be assigned rooms in the old quadrangle in view of its Spartan facilities, but that elsewhere in the college the principle of 'seeded randomness' should be adopted. Appropriate controls were established for college discos in order to forestall objections from the public authorities. At the last meeting (6 June 1978) the Domestic Bursar's proposals for board and lodgings charges for 1978- 79 were accepted after an increase in the number of returnable dinner tickets had been agreed. The J.C.R. President reported a request that consultation on the proposed figures should take place before a detailed budget was presented, and the Committee agreed to recommend (a recommendation subsequently accepted by the Governing Body) that in future years the Domestic Bursar and the Junior Members of the Committee should meet to examine the proposed figures early in the fifth week of Trinity Term.

HALL BALL 1978 ONCE AGAIN THE BALL, which was held on the last Saturday of Trinity Term (17 June), was a great success, with a minimum of hitches and a maximum of good-natured cooperation from all concerned. Perhaps the most successful of all this year were the main bands: Dr Feelgood, The Cimarons, and Five Hand Reel, who provided high quality entertainment and tremendous variety. Musical contrasts were again evident outside the Wolfson Hall, with two local rock bands, folk music, a Strauss orchestra, and the always popular jazz in the Old Dining Hall supplied by The Catte Street Rhythm Wreckers and Pat Kenny and the Accidentals. These and other varied entertainments contributed in their different ways to the traditional Ball atmosphere, which culminated for many with the enjoyable experience of punting on the Cherwell after dawn.

This is an appropriate place to thank all those ,who were concerned in setting up, and clearing up after, the Ball. An especial vote of gratitude is due to the College staff, whose tireless efforts contributed immeasurably to the smooth running of the whole affair; nor should our brilliant Chef and his talented assistants, who laid on a feast of such excellent quality,

11

be forgotten. Without their help we could not have staged such a successful combination of festivity and spectacle.

THE LONDON DINNER 1978 THE LONDON DINNER was held on 10 January at Simpson's-in-the-Strand.

The Dinner is always a convivial occasion, and this year it was especially so with 120 Aularians (a record number) present to enjoy the customary saddle of mutton and to applaud the Principal's speech. (Simpson's tell me, by the way, that they are able to accommodate a maximum of 140 at a sitting so I hope we shall break this year's record in 1979.)

In proposing the toast of 'Floreat Aula' Sir Denis Wright congratulated the new President, Jack Lee, on his election, and spoke of the tragic loss of Neville Williams who had died only a fortnight after he had been elected President in January 1977. Replying, the Principal expressed his pleasure at seeing such a large gathering and one which contained representatives from most of the last 55 years. He was happy to report that the last year had been a particularly successful one academically- though he feared that many of those present would be disappointed to learn that the Hall's sporting achievements had not been on a par with recent years. He was confident, however, that this was something that would be put right in the near future.

THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 1978 THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the St Edmund Hall Association was held at Simpson's-in-the-Strand, London, on Tuesday 10 January 1978 at 6.15 p.m., closing at 6.50 p.m. 28 members were present: the President, Sir Denis Wright, was in the chair.

In the interests of economy only an abstract of the proceedings is being published this year, the full M inutes being available for inspe'Ction at the next ACM. Sir Denis Wright referred in his report to the sad deaths of two leading members of the Association during the last year. The Rt Rev and Rt Hon J. C. W. Wand died on 16 August 1977, aged 92, and N. J. Williams died on 29 January 1977, aged 52-only two weeks after being elected President. Sir Denis said that the situation created

by Neville Williams's death was not covered by the Constitution: he had therefore consulted leading members of the Association before deciding to carry on for the remainder of the current year. The Executive Committee had endorsed this decision at its Meeting on 25 June 1977.

DIRECTORY 1206 replies had been received to the questionnaire sent out with the June 1977 Dinner notices as decided at the 1977 AGM. Although some 2000 members had not replied the President considered the actual response to be satisfactory and conclusive, showing an overwhelming preference for not publishing before 1980, a 2: 1 majority favouring a directory in principle, and a general willingness to contribute towards the cost. It was agreed that there would be no Directory before 1980, when the AGM would have to decide whether one should be published that year or not.

GARDEN PARTY The President reported that the Governing Body of the Hall had accepted the Executive Committee's recommendation that the Garden 16

Party should be held every three years, and had decided that the next one would be on 24 June 1978, the day of the Reunion Dinner. He felt sure that he spoke for all when he said how much they appreciated this decision of the Governing Body. · ACCOUNTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR 1 AUGUST 1976-31 JULY 1977 The audited Accounts were presented by the Hon. Treasurer, Brian M. Forrest, who remarked that the surplus of £551 was larger than expected and that assets had risen by £760. The Accounts were unanimously adopted. They are published in full on pp. 52-3.

ELECTIONS The following were unanimously elected I re-elected: President 1978- 80 - J. Lee, elected The outgoing President commended Jack Lee to the Meeting as the unanimous recommendation of the Executive Committee. He had matriculated in 1933 and won distinction as the second-ever Aularian to win a Soccer Blue, playing for the University in 1934, 1935 and 1936. Subsequently he had made a name for himself in the labour relations and personnel management field and was a Past President of the Institute of Personnel Management. Having retired from Shell International as Employee Relations Adviser he was still very activeumpiring at Wimbledon in the summer and directing the "Working Together Campaign" among other activities. He would undoubtedly prove a worthy successor to Neville Williams.

The Principal, in his speech, welcomed old members whose year of matriculation ranged from 1919 to 1973. Reviewing the year's activities he spoke first of the sporting life of the Hall. Despite success in Badminton Cuppers this had been a year of limited achievement, but might we not be 'better men for these humiliating experiences'? In contrast the year had been one of quite considerable academic success, with not only a good record of Firsts in the Schools but an impressive list of prizes and scholarships won. The Hall was sad to lose Dr. Oxburgh to a chair in Cambridge, but new tutorial fellows had been appointed in Geology and Law, . and the Hall's interest in the Arts recognized by the appointment to a fellowship of the Ruskin Master of Drawing. Following changes in the Hall's Charter allowing admission of women, the initial step in a new direction had been taken with the appointment of the first woman to a Junior Research Fellowship.

Another new experience had been the election by the Fellows of a Principal, and in the conclusion to his speech Dr Kelly spoke warmly of his successor, Sir Ieuan Maddock, who would take office on lst August 1979.

Replying, the President of the St Edmund Hall Association, Mr Jack Lee, thanked the Principal and Fellows for the afternoon's garden party and recorded the pleasure which everyone had felt at the presence there of Dr Emden . .The formal part of the evening concluded with a 'sign-in' in honour of Dr. Emden's ninetieth birthday, which was to be celebrated in October. ¡ DE FORTUNIS AULARIUM R.

His Honour Judge Gilbert Alexander Forrest, M.A., exhibitioner 1932-35, died on 24 September 1977, aged 65.

His chosen career was teaching and he studied for the Certificate in Education at York, doing the History with Social Sciences course. When he died, he was Head of Economics at Christ's College, Finchley. A performance of Benjamin Britten's 'St Nicholas' on 20 December 1977 at the Parish Church of St Jude on the Hill, Hampstead Garden Suburb was dedicated to his memory.

David Valdon (Val) Jones, commoner 1959- 63, died from a heart attack on 22 January 1978, aged 40 . He read Modern Languages, 36

obtaining a Distinction in Spoken French. He was also a first-rate sportsman, playing Rugby and Soccer for First teams and winning his Greyhound cap. Apart from the Hall, his life was spent at Monmouth School, which he entered at the age of 10, at which he became head boy, and to which he returned after leaving Oxford to teach for thirteen years. As a schoolmaster he produced numerous successful under-13 Rugby sides, and made a remarkable impression at Monmouth, where he was respected and loved by all with whom he came into contact.

Ivan Brian Perrott, M.A., commoner and then honorary exhibitioner 1937-40, died suddenly from a heart attack on 1 December 1976, aged 57. He obtained a First in Hon. Mathematical Moderations, and after being awarded a Second in Finals stayed on to work for the D.Phil. but was prevented from compl etin g it because of the outbreak of war. He served as a Major in the Royal Corps of Signals (Special Branch), and was twice mentioned in despatches. On demobilisation he lectured for two years at Leicester College of Technology, and then joined the staff of the University of Leeds as Lecturer in Pure Mathematics. From 1960 until his death he was Director of Undergraduate Studies and ViceChairman of the School of Mathematics at Leeds.

On demobilisation he returned to Oxford and obtained a First in German and Russian. After a time as Lecturer at Leeds University he moved to Trinity College, Dublin, where he spent twelve years as Reader in German and then as Professorial Fellow. Finally he returned to the North of England to be foundation professor of German at the University of Hull. He was a specialist in 19th century German literature, and his many publications read like a recital of the great names of the period. His services to the study of German literature were recognized by the award of the Federal Republic's Cross of Merit (First Class) in 1971. One of his sons followed him to the Hall and obtained a First in Music.

The Revd Richard Fowler Yates, M .A., commoner 1924-27, died on 25 May 1978 .

CLUBS AND SOCIETIES THE ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL CLUB League and Cuppers Captain: D. P. WALTERS Hon. Secretary:: K. R. SCOTT

BY THE HALL'S high footballing standards this season was one of some disappointment. Although the lst XI was placed 4th in the league, the 2nd and 3rd Xls in their respective divisions could not match the heights of last season. This was even more so in Cuppers, for in contrast to last year's achievement of both teams representing the Hall in the 2nd XI final, the two teams inexplicably lost their matches at the lst round stage.

After a good run of group matches, the lst XI Cuppers side was knocked out by the eventual winners, Queen's, in the quarter-final. This confrontation was renewed in the semi-final of the Varsity Games 6-a-side tournament at the Crystal Palace, but unfortunately the Hall once more came a close second.

So, although the season was not without some bright spots (which included an Aularian game, revived hopefully for posterity), we must hope for a promising footballing intake for next season, in order to help restore tlie Hall's soccer prowess.

K.R.S. THE ATHLETICS CLUB Captain: K. P. CHEONG UNFORTUNATELY, the Athletics team failed to reach the finals of Cuppers for the first time in many years. Notable performances were achieved

by John Moreland, who went on to gain a deserved half-blue. Mention should be given to John Taylor for his loyal services over four years. It is hoped that this year is seen as a passing interlude, and that the club receives the support it deserves in the ¡ future.

K.P.C. THE BADMINTON CLUB Captain: J. CHRISTOPHER Secretary:: M. WILLIAMS AS EXPECTED, the league side (handicapped by the ineligibility of blues A. Jack and J. Taylor) was unable to mount a successful bid for the title . However, the Cuppers team is to be congratulated on winning their competition. Congratulations are also due to A. Jack and J. Taylor on gaining further blues, and to J. Christopher for his captaincy of the Woodpeckers.

M.W. THE BOAT CLUB Captain: P. L. SMITH Vice-Captain: J. ROBERTSON Secretary: s. J. SHEPHERD THE HALL has had a mixed season this year. Torpids proved to be disastrous owing to the lack of freshmen with rowing experience and to the fact that four members of the Hall were rowing for the University.

38

Six crews participated in Eights week. The lst VIII achieved two bumps over Balliol and Christ Church, thereby gaining third place on the river, despite the age of our lst VIII boat compared with those of rival colleges. The 2nd VIII also gained two bumps, while the other crews had an enjoyable if not quite so successful week.

S.J.S. THE CRICKET CLUB Team Secretary: S. G. CATCHPOLE Fixture Secretary: R. A. H. FINCH THE SEASON got off to a poor start owing to the fact that the first seven games were rained off. To the annoyance of many forecasters, our opening Cuppers game, against St John's was won quite comfortably. In the quarter-finals we came up against the favourites, Worcester, and despite a half-century from W. Hollington, a combination of our average bo wling and their good batting ensured our defeat.

In the friendly matches, unfortunately, we could not combine our bowling strengths with batting of equal ability with the exception of R. Ruvigny, who comfortably topped the batting averages. Against Oxford Polytechnic, on a 'lively' wicket there were perhaps some excuses, but on a good wicket such as New College, our best batting side should not have succumbed to the Optimists to the tune of seven ducks! This season an Aularian Game was inaugurated: any past Hall cricketers interested in playing in this next year should contact J. Shortridge on Shrewsbury 56986 .

S.G.C.

Captain:

J. D. CHARLES

THE CROSS-COUNTRY CLUB Captain: J. TAYLOR Secretary.: c. G. PROUDFOOT ALTHOUGH THE SEASON started off well (with the help of enthusiastic fresh ers), we once again found difficulty in getting out all our runners.

After winning the first league race we finished fourth overall, while in Cuppers we achieved the same position- however, a fully fit team might have won it.

The St Edmund Hall Road Relay took place with a large number of teams entering, and was won by Surrey University. The dub wishes tQ thank John Taylor for his contribution while at the Hall.

C.G.P. THE HOCKEY CLUB Secretary: T. R. ASTIN Captain: A. M. GoREING THE HOCKEY CLUB cannot report much success from the 1977- 78 season. In fact we departed ft om Cuppers in the lst round (again!), losing to the eventual runners-up Keble; and have been relegated from the lst Division of the League. However we have played enjoyable, and from time to time fairly good hockey, with the help of some keen and capable freshers and the occasional demonstration of really expert play from Jerome Watson, our potential England cap. Next season we hope, will see ns promoted to the lst Division.

A.M.S .

THE LAWN TENNIS CLUB Captain : C. ROACH Secretary,: A. JACK AFTER A RAINY START, we beat St Catz in Cuppers and then lost to a New College team consisting of Blues and Penguins. The league team did not win a match having been promoted to the first division last season. Many players have represented the Hall this season-most notably Clive Roach- and friendly fixtures have been played against all ladies colleges bar one.

A.J.

THE REAL TENNIS CLUB Captain: w. A. HOLLINGTON Secretary!: T. E. 0. BURY THE HALL PAIR for the Cuppers competition consisted of the two officials above and was eliminated at a very early stage, the cause being our captain's stomach! Bill Hollington also captained the successful blues side against Cambridge, as well as the team which won the National Club Knockout competition at Lords.

T.B. THE RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB Cuppers Captain: R. A. WILSON League Captain: S. H. JOHNSON Secretaries: S. GALLAGHER and A. LUNDIE LAST SEASON'S League team started with good wins, showing much enthusiasm under the able captaincy of Steve Johnson. With injuries and the demands of university teams, the second half of the term was disappointing, although the title was in sight until the last game. The 2nd XV also showed well against lst XVs of other colleges, even though they only narrowly avoided relegation.

The Cuppers team, lacking two of five blues started well, comfortably defeating Jesus College. The presence of England international Charles Kent in the Worcester side did not prevent the onward march, and the semi-final against Wadham showed the whole team knit together

by Rob Wilson, working well as a unit. Unfortunately the performance in the final could not match that of the semi-final, and despite excellent support, the Hall lost to Keble 13- 6. However, the large proportion of freshmen in the Cuppers side augurs well for the future.

S.G. THE SQUASH CLUB Captain: W. A. HOLLINGTON Secretary: T. E. 0. BURY THE TEAM was never able completely to recover from a very poor start to the League season and was relegated to division two. However, we reached the semi-final of Cuppers where we were defeated by the eventual winners. Nigel Preston is to be consoled on being one place away from a blue for the second successive year.

T.E.O.B.

THE SWIMMING CLUB Captain!,: CRISPIN ELEY ALTHOUGH unfortunately unable to retain the Cuppers title won last year, the swimming team once again put on a fine performance finishing as runners-up by the narrowest of margins. The Hall's strength in depth was demonstrated by victory in the closely fought freestyle relay event.

C.E. THE TABLE TENNIS CLUB Captain and Secretary: R. G. THOMSON DESPITE a lack of coherent organisation, this year has been one of our best to date, even though both lst and 2nd teams were relegated, as well as being knocked out in the first round of Cuppers. Many thanks for the dedication of those who turned out again, and again, and lost.

R.G.T. Congratulations IN ADDITION to the sporting achievements mentioned above, the following are to be congratulated for their performances against Cambridge: Crispin Eley (captain of swimming and water polo); Jerry Charles (water polo); Dave Heaver and Stuart Reynolds (Boxing); Bill Cogar (volleyball); and Nick Henshaw (lacrosse). Also Mike Power for keeping a clean sheet at Wembley in O.U.A.F.C.'s 4-0 win, and Tim Bryan (captain), Tony Watkinson, Roy Hoolahan, Ken Hopkins, and Byron Light for playing for O.U.R.F.C. in their victory over Cambridge. Tony Watkinson has been selected as next year's O.U.R.F.C. captain.

THE ART COMMITTEE Secretarie'S!: A. BING and J. HOWE AS IN PREVIOUS YEARS, the Art Committee won as many as it lost unde.r the loan scheme. The increasing number of supporters indicated that it might be helpful to inform freshmen of the main purpose of the Committee: i.e. to collect a small termly contribution from each J.C.R. member so as to finance the purchase of original 'works of art', which are then on display and on loan to all undergraduates resident in Hall once a term.

Almost everyone on the payroll had an outing. Ed Dorn's dribbling skills in 'The Loser' were again popular. But it may be that Keating's attacking flair would be seen to better advantage in a new environment.

A.C.B. THE BRIDGE CLUB Captain and Secretary: A. PHILLIPS THE HALL entered four teams in Cuppers this year and although three of the teams were knocked out in the first round, the team of Howard Jennings, Ian Doherty, Olly Storm and Raj Shah reached the quater final stage. Rob Birch and Alan Phillips were members of a team of four which won the university open event, beating some notable opposition.

A.P. 41

THE CHESS CLUB Captain: T. ASTIN THE CHESS TEAM played only two matches this year, drawing with Keble and losing narrowly to Christ Church. Sadly, the college league competition folded so that no further matches were played.

It is hoped that next year the organisation in the university will be improved.

T.A. THE CHRISTIAN UNION Representatives.: A. M. GOERING, J. VERNON THE c.u. has continued to provide opportunities for fellowship in the shape of prayer-meetings and bible study, between Christians in the college; also in Michaelmas term we had a concert from the Christian singer-songwriter, Graham Kendrick, in the Old Dining Hall, and in Hilary term put on a minor mission to members of the Hall. Next year we look forward to closer links with the Chapel and bearing more effective witness to the truth of Christ in the college.

A.M.G. THE DARTS CLUB Captain: P. INCE (Trinity Term): A. STOCKMAN AS FIRST DIVISION NEWCOMERS, despite the core of the team being the same as last year, we only just avoided relegation, assuring our lst division status in the last game of the last match.

In Trinity term we unfortunately failed to progress beyond the first round of Cuppers.

A.S. THE FILM SOCIETY Organisers.: MICK MILL, SIMON STAITE .

THERE WERE no films shown for the first two terms owing to the absence of the organisers, who had gone on film-seeking trips to Hollywood, Montreaux and Cannes. They returned having snatched distributing rights for 'Last Tango in Paris' and 'Love and Death' from The Rank Organisation. More films will be shown in Michaelmas Term.

S.S. THE HEARNE SOCIETY President.: J. SPURR Secretary: P. CAMPBELL IN AN attenuated programme, the society was addressed by Dr. Maurice Keen, of Balliol, who spoke on the English presence in fifteenth century Normandy. He was followed by Dr Penry Williams, of New College, speaking on aspects of Elizabethan Oxford. The Society's dinner in the tercentenary year of Thomas Hearne's birth was addressed by the Revd Professor John McManners, who entertained us in his usual witty style.

THE JOHN OLDHAM SOCIETY President:

J. HOWE

THE JOHN OLDHAM SOCIETY emerged from this year with as much identity and as little cash as most university dramatic societies-its role was that of a financial backer to various productions, and it has spent its meagre funds quite well and adventurously. The Cuppers play it supported was written, acted and directed by John Vernon, and as a new drama it deserved a more enthusiastic reception. More lightheartedly, the college helped back the highly successful revue, 'Once Bitten'-so successful in fact that it is destined for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Our two other productions, both student plays, were: 'Coming Down' -an Oxford romance, written, directed and acted by our very own Paul Gent, which was a great success; and James Harpur's 'New Oracle', in which Rob Jones played the lead role in what was, again, a very successful production.

J.H. THE MUSIC CLUB President:

s. w.

HEDLEY

Although generally the club's activities continued to be attended by a relatively small number of people, this did not apply to our highly successful concert trips and the Christmas 'Face the Music' quiz. Among the more memorable of the Club's meetings were the excellent talks given by Dr Segar and Dr Olleson.

S.W.H.

THE MUSIC SOCIETY President: A. B. WATHEY Vice-President: R. M. OsTERLEY Secretary,: L. ST. L. LAWSON Treasurer: p. K. ROSSITER A BROADENING OF SCOPE has been perhaps the most noticeable feature of the society's activities in this, one of its best years.

In Michaelmas term, Kerry Camden, the well known soloist, directed works by Dvorak, Mozart and Strauss, as well as a bassoon master class-both events being very successful.

In Trinity term two large and successful concerts were staged : the first, directed by Bernard Trafford, comprised the Faure pavane, the Haydn Trumpet Concerto, and Beethoven's Third Symphony (the 'Eroica'). The second concert was staged at the Town Hall, where under the baton of Michael Smedley a chorus and orchestra of 250, together with some notable soloists performed Carl Orff's 'Carmina Birana'. Following this great success, plans are afoot to produce another concert of similar scale next Hilary term.

A.B.W. 43

A correction should be made to one of the items in last year's Aularian Bookshelf: the title of J. S. Reynolds's book which he kindly gave to the library, should read: 'Evangelicals at Oxford, 1735-1905, 2nd ed.'.

We have received many other welcowe gifts of books, or money to buy books, for the library; we would especially like to thank C. D. Miller for his termly gifts of money since he came up in 1975; also Dr. L. Scholl (1970) for a large number of books for the Early English section. And many thanks to the following for their generous gifts : The Principal; J. Adams; R. E. Alton (Fellow); R. W. Avery; Banking Information Service; Barclay's Bank, Oxford; Dr. J. Boss; City Capital Market Committee; Prof. F. Deloffre; A. R. Ellis; Dr. A. B. Emden (Hon. Fellow); English Speaking Union in New York; Dr. R.

Midgley (Fellow); Princeton Univ. Industrial Relations Section; Dom D. Rees; V. Ridler (Fellow); R. Rivington; Dr. K. Segar (Fellow); S.E.H. Music Society; D. G. Phillips; C. B. Sunter; T. J.
