THE NEW PRINCIPAL SIR IEUAN MADDOCK

ST EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE VOL. XI, No. 6

OCTOBER 1979 JUNIOR EDITOR 1978-79: ROGER KEELEY

IN MEMORIAM ALFRED BROTHERSTON EMDEN died, peacefully in his sleep, shortly before midnight on Monday 8 January. His funeral service was held in his parish church, St Andrew's, Old Headington, on the morning of Friday 12 January, and was followed by his cremation in the Oxford Crematorium. It was a time when snow lay deep everywhere in Oxford. On Thursday 22 March a requiem was said for him in the Chapel, and his ashes were interred under the pavement of the ante-chapel in front of the war memorials (as he had requested). In accordance with his strict injunction these services were private, and (again in obedience to his express wishes) there was no public memorial service.

An obituary appears on pp. 20-23.

RETIREMENT DR JOHN N. D. KELLY retired as Principal on 31 July, and as his unusually long (by modern standards) reign drew to its close he was feted at a series of valedictory functions. The Junior Common Room at dinner on the last Sunday of Trinity Term, the Middle Common Room and the Vice-Principal and Fellows at special dinners on the Monday and Wednesday of eighth week, and the St Edmund Hall Association at the Reunion Dinner on 30 June all made separate and generous presentations to him. There was a particularly moving ceremony on 4 July when the staff, with Mr Percy James as their eloquent spokesman, entertained him to sherry at the unprecedented hour of 10 a.m. and gave him a lawn sweeper as a farewell gift. In the same month other Aularian groups arranged dinners in his honour both in Oxford and in London; while scores of Aularians, too numerous to thank individually, sent him tributes of 1

gratitude and good wishes. His new home is at 7 Crick Road, Oxford OX2 6QJ (tel. (0865) 512907), where he will be glad to hear, and receive visits, from members of the College and friends.

For the record it may be appropriate to mention here that Dr Kelly has been personally responsible for all the issues of the Magazine from Vol. VI, No. 1 (Dec. 1951), to the present No. 6 of Vol. XL He was also responsible for a large part of Vol. V, No. 10 (Dec. 1950), when Principal Emden was suffering from protracted spells of illness. He received useful assistance in the earlier years from the Revd E. G. Midgley and latterly from Dr D. L. Scargill; and a succession of undergraduate editors have provided the material for the section 'Clubs and Societies'. It has been his task, however, to write or compile the main features, collect information concerning appointments, births, marriages and deaths, put all the material together, and prepare the Magazine for publication.

THE NEW PRINCIPAL

BY THE TIME this number of the Magazine appears Sir Ieuan Maddock, C.B., O.B.E., F.R.S., will have held office as Principal for more than three months. His tenure of the principalship began on 1 August, when the expectation was that his formal admission would take place at the first meeting of the Governing Body for Michaelmas Term, i.e. on Wednesday 10 October.

This ceremony itself broke fresh ground, for all his predecessors were admitted by the Vice-Chancellor, the Hall not having attained the independent status of a College until the 'fifties.

The Magazine renews the warm welcome it extended to him and Lady Maddock a year ago, and is confident that they will swiftly establish themselves in the affections of both past and present members of the College. It would also like respectfully to congratulate him on the award of another honorary doctorate, this time by the University of Bath, on a series of admirably lucid and stimulating broadcasts and articles, and on having been elected a director and appointed chairman of the Fulmer Research Institute Ltd in succession to Sir John Taylor, M.B.E., It is pleased to have a highly characteristic portrait of him as its frontispiece.

The advent of a married Principal for the first time since 1920 (if Principal Cronshaw's reign, which lasted only a few months, is disregarded} has necessitated a wholesale re-modelling of the 2

Lodgings, more particularly of the upper regions which both Mr Emden and Dr Kelly placed at the disposal of the College for the accommodation of undergraduates. The plan worked out, in discussion with Sir leuan, in the early months of this year envisages the retention of the public rooms (the diningroom, the drawing-room, and the study) in broadly their present style, subject of course to re-decoration, but the creation in the stories above them of a commodious, self-contained family dwelling, equipped with its own kitchen etc. in the most up-to-date manner and allowing access to a small roof-garden. Central heating is also to be installed throughout the Lodgings. The architect is Mr Gilbert Howes, whom the College has employed for almost a quarter of a century for all its major works of restoration or new building, and who at the time of going to press (early August) seemed to have tackled the complicated and baffling problems with his customary ingenuity and skill.

The Magazine ventures to hope that the completion of this elaborate and highly desirable reconstruction will not be unduly delayed.

FELLOWS AND LECTURERS while sharing the deep regret of the College at the departure of its Fellow in Physiology, Dr I. M. L. Donaldson, congratulates him on his promotion to the new Chair of Zoology at the University of Hull, and wishes him success and happiness in the appointment. Lecturer since 1971 and Fellow since 1973, he has fostered the College's small but successful medical group with firmness and care, and has endeared himself to pupils and colleagues as a teacher expert in his speciality, but expert also in a whole spectrum of culture, in the grand tradition of humane medicine. When it went to press, the Magazine understood that urgent efforts were being made, in conjunction with the Faculty Board, to secure a successor who would combine his fellowship with a university lecturership. In a different field the College has added to its strength by electing a second Fellow in Economics, Martin Daniel Edward Slater, B.A., B.Phil., Lecturer at the University of Bristol. Owing to his commitments at his present university Mr Slater will not be able to take up his fellowship until 1 January 1980, but will be able to travel from Bristol and give useful tutorial help during Michaelmas Term.

His fellowship at the Hall will be held in conjunction with a lecturership at Oriel College.

THE MAGAZINE,

Congratulations are due to Professor Sir Peter Hirsch on being awarded honorary degrees of D.Sc. by Newcastle University and the City University, and also on his election to an Honorary Fellowship at Christ's College, Cambridge. The Magazine notes with satisfaction that Sir Denis Wright, Honorary Fellow, has been elected President of the British Institute of Persian Studies (in succession to the late Sir Max Mallowan). The College's small band of Honorary Fellows was sadly diminished by the death of Dr Emden, but the Governing Body has maintained the number unchanged by electing the Revd Dr J. N. D. Kelly to an Honorary Fellowship with effect from 1 August, the day following his retirement as Principal.

Among the Lecturers Dr E. Olleson (Music) has resigned owing to his increasing tutorial commitments; the Magazine extends a welcome to his successor, Dr D. Puffett, Research Fellow of Wolfson College. Dr Akrigg, too, has been obliged to resign his lecturership in Biochemistry in order to take up an important appointment at the research establishment at Porton; the question of a successor is under discussion. On the other hand, a warm welcome goes out to Ms Hilary Little, Departmental Demonstrator in the Department of Physiology, who has become a Lecturer, to Dr Alison Brading, Fellow of Lady Margaret Hall, who took up the (temporary) position of Lecturer in Physiology in October, and to Dr J. P. Platt, Fellow of St Anne's College but also a distinguished graduate of the Hall (matric. 1966), who became Lecturer in Geology at the beginning of Trinity Term 1979.

Three important changes in College officers deserve note, all taking effect on 1 August or with the comencement of the new academic year : Dr K. Segar succeeds Dr B. Worden as Senior Tutor, Dr S. Richardson succeeds Dr J. Todd as Tutor for Admissions, and the Revd H. E. J. Cowdrey suceeds Dr C. Phelps as Secretary of the Governing Body.

ST. EDMUND' S DAY 1978 THERE WAS an indefinable end-of-an-era note in the celebration of the Feast of St Edmund on 16 November 1978, for everyone knew that the Principal was presiding over it for the last time.

In view of this the Visitor had made a special effort to be present, and Dr Kelly had arranged for his sister, Miss Ann D. Kelly, to be there too. The other guests included the Principal4

elect, Sir Ieuan Maddock (to whom applause was warmly accorded when the Principal drew attention to his presence in his speech), Dr Michael Davies, for many years the personal doctor of the Principal as well as of the College, and the President and other representatives of the S.E.H. Assocation. As usual, Aularians settled in fellowships and chairs in Oxford, and also all junior members in their final year, were present in force. When the Principal in his speech came to these last, after introducing the other guests in their several categories, he remarked that he was not ashamed to confess that, great as had always been his respect and affection for all his colleagues, it had been the youth of the College who had invariably been closest to his heart and his overriding concern. In a characteristically felicitous peroration Mr Harold Macmillan skilfully combined a generous tribute to Dr Kelly, whom. he complimented the College on having as its Head for twenty-seven years to date, with moving reflections on the transitoriness of life and the consequent challenges facing the younger generation.

GIFTS TO THE COLLEGE is due to the late Dr Emden who under his will left the College the sum of ÂŁ2,000 for the use of the S.E.H. Association with particular reference to and primarily for the maintenance of the Hall Magazine, the Aularian Directory and the Aularian series of books, and also bequeathed the residue of his estate, after the payment of certain bequests, to the College 'upon trust that it should invest the same and apply the income arising from the investments for or towards the maintenance of the Libraries, Chapels and Gardens of the College ... but so that if at any time or times it should in the opinion of the College be impracticable or undesirable to apply the whole or any part of the income for the purposes aforesaid then the College should apply the whole or such part of the said income to or for the general purposes of the College'. The sum involved had not become known at the time of going to press, but it was understood to be very substantial, making this nominally much the largest benefaction the College has ever received.

Thanks are also due to H. Beresford Barratt (matric. 1919) for the gift of rowing photographs from his period at the Hall; to Mrs Keen, widow of the late G. S. Keen (matric. 1930), for presenting the oar which he used when rowing in the First VIII DEEP GRATITUDE

5

which made a record of seven bumps in 1934, together with a photograph of the crew; to A. J. Peacock (matric. 1972) for the gift of £100 for books for the Library; to the Revd J. E. T. Phillips (1927-29), who under his will bequeathed to the College the sum of £250 'for repairs to the fabric'; to M. A. Ritchie (matric. 1949) for the further gift of the water-colour 'Snowdonia' by James Purdy; and to the S.E.H. Association for the gift of £300 for books for the Library.

AULARIAN HONOURS THE MAGAZINE would like to congratulate Lt.-Col. R. J. Griffith, M.C. (matric. 1938) and J. M. G. Halstead (matric. 1938) on being awarded the M.B.E. and the O.B.E. respectively in the New Year Honours, and Sir John Chance Palmer (matric. 1937), who was President of the Law Society 1978-79, on being knighted in the Birthday Honours. It also notes with pleasure the election of two Aularians, Paul Frederick Howell (matric.

1970) and Robert Victor Jackson (matric. 1965), to the European Parliament. Further afield, Larry Lee Pressler (matric. 1964) has been elected a Senator of the United States, the first Aularian to hold this distinguished position. Congratulations are also due to Professor C. Grayson (matric. 1938), holder of the Serena Chair of Italian Studies, on his election to a Fellowship of the British Academy.

ACADEMIC SUCCESSES IN MICHAELMAS TERM 1978 the following, having obtained Firsts in Finals in the previous July and returned into residence, were elected to Honorary Scholarships of the College: M. Garrett (English), D. R. Hartley (Mathematics), M. J. Hooton (Modern Languages), D. G. McCartney (Metallurgy), and A. W. Robertson (Physics). In the same term Brockhues Scholarships in Metallurgy were awarded to D. G. McCartney and M. I. Wood, and Carter Prizes for essays to A. B. Wathey (ip an Arts subject) and R. E. Nowak (lst prize), R. J. Pease (2nd prize), and J. D. Tullett (3rd prize) (in Science subjects). In Hilary Term 1979 G. D. Wattles (first-year) was awarded a Junior Heath Harrison Travelling Scholarship, and P. J. Lewis (second-year) was appointed a Freiburg Scholar. J. R. Friend (matric. 1955) was given leave to supplicate for the degree of Doctor of Medicine.

J. Birch, M. J. Cheadle and G. D. Wattles were awarded Distinctions in the Preliminary Examinations in Biochemistry, Geology and Modern Languages respectively. In Trinity Term the following obtained Firsts in Final Honour Schools: R. G. Birch and J. M. Collingwood (Engineering); A. M. Goreing (English); R. Stichbury (Forestry); J. Reynolds (Geography); T. R. Astin and G. W. Farquharson (Geology); A. H. Phillips (Mathematics); M. C. Askins and T. J. Barker (Metallurgy); A. B. Wathey (Music); A. J. Cooper and R. G. Smith (Physics); M. C. Mill (P.P.E.). In addition T. R. Astin and G. W. Farquharson were awarded Burdett-Coutts Prizes for their performance in the examination, while R. E. Nowak, who obtained a Second in Chemistry, was awarded a Distinction in his supplementary subject. Firsts in Honour Moderations were obtained by J. N. Spratt and W. E. Wilson (Mathematics), and by J. D. Armistead (P.M.E. Moderations). J. N. Thomas (matric. 1962) was granted leave to supplicate for the degree of Doctor of Medicine.

P.

CHAPEL 1978-79 established under the auspices of Fr E. G. Midgley as Chaplain was for half the evening services to be Sung Eucharists. Innovations were 'A Meditation on the Passion', with readings and music, on the last Sunday evening of Hilary Term (Lent 2); a Sung Eucharist with Procession to the Crypt of St Peter's on Whit Sunday evening (the Translation of St Edmund), the first part of the eucharist being held in the Chapel and the second part, with the communion, in the Crypt; and the increased use of the Crypt for the Holy Communion in the Summer Term. Preachers included the Principal of St Hugh's on 25 February; two lay Fellows of the College, Dr W. Urry and Dr D. I. Scargill; and, in addition to the Chaplain and the Revd H. E. J. Cowdrey, the Revd D. Gay (Bishop's Chaplain for Graduates), the Revd K. A. A. Weston (Vicar of St Ebbe's), the Revd P. King (Vicar of Headington), the Revd R. Combes, the Revd Professor J. Macquarrie, and the Revd Cheslyn Jones (Principal of Pusey House). The Christian Union arranged for sessions of Bible Study on weekday evenings of Hilary and Trinity Terms. The Chapel Wardens were Grant Guyer and Stephen Tetley in M.T., Stephen Tetley and Ian Rushton in H.T., and Christopher Brown-Humes and Nick Edwards in T.T. The Christian Union and Roman Catholic Representatives were THE PATTERN

Andrew Goreing and Peter Rogers in M.T. and H.T., Tim Saunders and Douglas Ansley in T.T. Philip Rossiter was organist throughout.

A NEW . ORGAN THE DECISION has at last been taken to install a new organ in the Chapel. The instrument at present in use has completed about one hundred and twenty years' service to the Hall, and it was not new when it was purchased on the initiative of the Revd Dr H. P. Liddon as Vice-Principal (1859-62) in response to the aspirations of musically minded junior members (including John Stainer). Originally placed in the sanctuary, it was subsequently moved to the north wall of the ante-chapel, and in 1931 found a home in the organ-loft, with blowing-chamber below, which had been constructed, with the sacristry and the extension to the Old Library, on a piece of land acquired from New College. At the same time it underwent a thorough restoration, its condition having been described in 1930 as deplorable.

Over the years, however, it has inevitably deteriorated again, and its creaking senility has provided increasing frustration to a succession of talented Organ Scholars. For some time the Chaplain, Fr E. G. Midgley, has campaigned vigorously for its replacement, and the Governing Body has at last yielded to his pleadings. The instrument which it has been agreed to purchase is a small-scale mechanical-action one, and it is to be supplied

by Messrs. Wood, of Huddersfield, a firm which has built organs for many churches and public institutions, the latest being the organ in the Huddersfield Polytechnic (the largest all mechanical organ in England, the runner-up being in New College Chapel). It has been designed to fit in with the architecture of the Chapel, as well as to exploit its fine acoustics. Consisting of two towers of pipes at the sides and a lower tower at the centre, it will be constructed of timber to match exactly the panelling of the Chapel, with silver pipes and gold-plated carving. It will be housed in the organ-loft, with the towers projecting only slightly over the cornice of the panels, and there is reason to believe that it will provide a beautiful addition to the north side of the Chapel.

Musically it has been designed on the principle that 'small is beautiful', and connoisseurs among the Magazine's readers may care to have the specification: 8

The action throughout is mechanical, the pipes all metal, and the console has 51 note manuals and draw-stops. The pedal board, of a north German disposition, has 30 notes.

MUSIC IN A BOOK AMONG THE MORE exciting developments in the Old Library during the past year has been the discovery and identification of four leaves from a sixteenth-century music MS. which had been used as 'paste-downs' on the inside covers of a copy of Suidas. Although written in an English hand, the leaves contain several pieces of Italian and French vocal music arranged for instruments, one of which has been identified as Giulio Renaldi's setting of 'Pili tost' io'. The third-year undergraduate A. B. Wathey was responsible for the detection, and the provision of financial aid from the Cochrane Bequest and a private fund at the Principal's disposal enabled work to be taken in hand on the leaves, including their professional separation from the books (undertaken so as to disclose the contents of their 'glued' sides and, in addition, an examination of contemporary bindings in the Old Library which might possibly yield further musical remains.

'JOHN KELLY' AFLOAT AT THE INVITATION of the Captain of boats, N. P. Howard, the Principal, with suitable libations of champagne, named the new boat JOHN KELLY and then formally launched it (the actual launching was carried out by the First Eight) in front of the Boat House on Saturday 5 May at 5.50 p.m. The ceremony was witnessed by a large and appreciative company, including repre9

sentatives of successive generations of Hall oarsmen. Connoisseurs may care to learn that the boat is a Donoratico Spring, constructed at Livorno, Italy, by Cantieri Navale Donoratico.

Its narrow, deep-V hull of three layer marine ply should combine strength with lightness; these qualities are assisted by crossbars of stainless steel tubing and a wooden section running all round the top of the craft, which is varnished with two-compound polyurethane. In the choice of material preference was given to wood because of the nature of college rowing: plastic hulls are lighter, but more easily damaged and much more difficult to repair. The total cost of the boat, including blades (wooden Sutton oars), was ÂŁ4,400, of which ÂŁ2,000 was given by the Governing Body and the rest drawn from Amalgamated Clubs and the generous subscriptions of old members. As he named it, the Principal expresed the hope that the boat would bring success and honour to the College, and the prayer will be devoutly echoed by all Aularians.

The following, to whom heartfelt thanks are due, subscribed to the Appeal which was put out for funds to meet the cost of the new boat: E. J. Roskell; G. A. Metters; I. Brimecome; W. B. Matthews; C.

TRAVEL GRANTS THE FOLLOWING received grants of ÂŁ30 each from the Graham Hamiton Travel Fund, supplemented by a generous subsidy from the St Edmund Hall Association, to help them to undertake expeditions involving 'enterprise, initiative and endurance' in the long vacation: D. M. Crawshaw (geological expedition to southern Brazil); C. S. Horner (hitch-hiking in France and Italy); N. P. Howard (camping in Greece); C. D. Lee (expedition to locate the remains of H.M.S. Victory IV); J. H. McCabe (cycling in France); M. C. McDermott and I. N. Maidment (camping and climbing in France); T. D. Worsfold (organizer at youth camp in Canada).

CONSEQUENTIAL ON NEW DEGREES A STATUTE approved by Congregation on 19 December 1978 introduced the new degrees of Master of Letters and Master of Philosophy. The statute provides that any person who already holds the degree of B.Litt. or of B.Phil. in a subject other than Philosophy, may apply to the University Registrar through his or her college or society for the redesignation of the title of his or her degree to that of M.Litt. or M.Phil. respectively. In the case of members of the Hall application should be made to the College Office in the first instance. It should be noted that this arrangement applies only to people who have actually taken their degrees; persons who have been granted leave to supplicate for the degree of B.Litt. or B.Phil. (in a subject other than Philosophy) but have not yet proceeded to the degree will, if they now wish to take their degree, be presented for and receive the M.Litt. degree.

HALL BALL 1978 more than just a cliche to say that the Hall Ball was once again an undoubted success. But it was. The value for money and the quality of entertainments were of the standard now expected at a Hall Ball. The main attractions were once again the bands in the Wolfson Hall; this year highenergy rock music was provided by Eddie and the Hot Rods and Radio Stars, with an interesting interlude provided by Radio One disc jockey Anne Nightingale. Yet again, however, the Ball was one to be remembered for the quality of minor entertainments: driving reggae music from Amber, the all night jazz, the belly dancer in the dining marquee, the colourful steel band IT IS BECOMING

11

at dawn in the front quad and, most memorable of all, the Cafe Parisien on the raised quad. This year our raffle raised a useful sum for charity and provided a fortunate couple with a weekend in Paris.

The whole success of the Ball was the result of a long concerted effort from the Ball Committee, combined with the continued co-operation of the College authorities. Our especial thanks are due to the College Steward, the Chef and the Domestic Bursar.

P., Homsey School for Girls THE LONDON DINNER 1979 BEFORE GRACE, all present at the London Dinner stood in memory of Dr Emden, who had died the previous night.

In his speech of welcome, the President of the St Edmund Hall Association, Mr Jack Lee, recalled Dr Emden's ninetieth birthday celebrations,in October when he had been able to attend two luncheon parties in Hall, at one of which he had been presented with a book of the signatures of old members and a collection of memorabilia. This had greatly pleased him, and following his death it would return to the Hall as a momenta of an occasion which had meant a lot to Dr Emden.

A record number of Aularians were present at the Dinner and, for the first time ever, those who had applied late had found no places available. This was a tribute to Jon Shortridge's excellent organization but it was also an expression of regard and affection for Dr John Kelly, whose last London Dinner as Principal this was to be. Those present spanned fifty-five years, Dr Bryce having matriculated in 1922, the President of the JCR in 1977. Although unable to be present Mr Gilbert Stephens (matric. 1913) had sent good wishes, a contribution to the Dinner, and a copy of St Jerome for signature. Present also were Mr J. B. Allan, who had completed fifty years on the Committee of the Association, and the Principal-elect, Sir Ieuan Maddock, who was warmly welcomed by all.

In his reply the guest of honour, the Principal, spoke of his personal sorrow at Dr Emden's death, referring also to the encouragement which A.B.E. had given to the idea of a London Dinner when it was started in the 1920s. This was one of a great many happy benefits which he had conferred on the Hall.

Reviewing the year, he confessed that the Hall's sportsmen had performed deplorably on the field ('we may have done well at darts') but these lapses had been more than offset by a year of oustanding academic achievements, with more Firsts than ever before, a position near the top of the Norrington Table, and numerous prizes and awards. It had once been suggested that the entry of girls would raise the academic standard at the Hall. Now the girls, twenty-five of whom had been accepted for next October, would have to work hard to compete.

Dr Kelly concluded by expressing his gratitude to all the old members who had supported the London Dinner over the years that he had been Principal. Though this would be the last time in such a capacity, he hope to be invited again.

THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 1979 THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the St Edmund Hall Association was held at Simpson's-in-the-Strand, London, on Tuesday, 9 January 1979 at 6.20 p.m. closing at 6.42 p.m. The President, Mr Jack Lee, was in the Chair, thirty-six members were present.

In the interests of economy only an abstract of the proceedings is again being published, as last year, the full Minutes being available for inspection at the next ACM or on earlier request to the Hon. Secretary.

THE LATE ALFRED BROTHERSTON EMDEN The President referred to the sudden but peaceful death of Dr Emden at his home in Old Headington the day before, 8 January 1979. He had been Principal, and President of the Association, 1929-51, and was 15

elected as Hon. Vice-President of the Association at the AGM of 4 December 1955. The Dinner would open with a period of silent homage.

The day before his ninetieth birthday on 22 October 1978, his close friend Dr Frederick Brockhues, an honorary member of the Senior Common Room, had given a luncheon in his honour in the Old Dining Hall, at which he was presented with a rose bowl (the anonymous gift of an Aularian) suitably engraved and intended by him to be lent to the Hall for use, inter alia, at christenings in Chapel. Another anonymous donor had provided a handsome album with a hand-painted Hall coat of arms on the cover and containing the signatures of all those dining in Hall at the Reunion of 24 June 1978. To these the Hon. Secretary, Arthur Farrand Radley, had been authorised by the Executive Committee to add an omnium gatherum of cuttings and photographs illustrating the Hall's history, buildings and recent extensions, along with personalities of the Hall and the Association and ending with many photographs of Dr Emden himself over the years, his own special contribution being apparent throughout.

On his actual ninetieth birthday, 22 October 1978, as on his eightieth, a quarter peal of bells was rung at St. Andrew's, Headington.

So he continued, alert and productive to the end. The President felt that the Association had been instrumental in its way in getting him to spend this last chapter in peace and tranquility.

THE PRINCIPAL-ELECT

The President looked forward to having as our guest at Dinner Sir Ieuan Maddock, C.B., O.B.E., F.R.S., who would take over from Dr Kelly on the latter's statutory retirement at the end of July 1979.

It would be a privilege to greet such an outstanding technologist and scientist, who would undoubtedly be making a very great contribution to the Hall over the next eight years-until the axe fell with his own seventieth birthday.

Mr Lee ended by thanking all members for their loyal support during his first-and not uneventful-year of office, paying tribute especially to the Hon. Secretary and the Hon. Treasurer, Messrs. Radley and Forrest.

1 AUGUST 1977-31 JULY 1978 The audited Accounts were presented by the Hon. Treasurer, Mr B. M. Forrest, whose comment that he had achieved a surplus of £107 compared with a forecast of £106 was greeted with admiring incredulity.

A deficit of £482 was forecast for the current year, but several la·u dable objectives would have been met, notably a presentation to the Hall Library of two inscribed reading desks and a gift of books in memory of Dr Emden's ninetieth birthday and his passing, with special bookplates designed by Vivian Ridler, sometime Printer to the University, who had been a Professorial Fellow of the College. The Accounts were unanimously adopted and are published in full in this issue.

In the Creweian Oration delivered at Encaenia, the Public Orator reviews the events of the University year. This year his speech included the following passage : 'Dr Kelly, our senior Head of House, retires as Principal of St. Edmund Hall. As the second of the two Principals whom the Hall has had in exactly fifty years, he has inspired remarkable progress and growth, which few Colleges, if any, can match in so comparatively short a time.'

This fine tribute to the Principal was echoed at the Annual Reunion of Old Members in the Hall on Saturday 30 June. It was a memorable evening, with the dining hall full and overflowing into the party room next door. A great span of years was represented from 1919 to the present. In his speech, the Principal first paid tribute to Dr Emden who had died in January. He had made in his Will a 'princely benefaction' to the Hall, but had left 'memories more precious than riches', a sentiment that clearly meant much to many Aularians present. Dr Kelly went on to speak of the year that had passed, noting in particular the fine record of academic achievement. He concluded by referring to the forty-four years he had spent at the Hall, and expressed his gratitude to all who had made those years so happy and rewarding.

'I am inexpressibly thankful ... no one has had a richer or happier time than I have had at St. Edmund Hall.'

He hoped that the friendships he had established would go on over the years. Of that there seemed little doubt as the President, Jack Lee, paid his own tribute to the Principal's achievements. The Old Members' gift of a colour television set was presented, and Principal and President left the Hall to a prolonged standing ovation and loud strains of 'For he's a jolly good fellow'.

A.B.E.: OBITUARY was born at West Ealing on 22 October 1888, the elder son of Alfred Emden, barrister-at-law (later a county court judge), and his wife Lizzie Cowley. His private schoolmaster was Mr Buston, of Tunbridge Wells, and in May 1903 he entered The King's School, Canterbury, with the top entrance scholarship. His father and his uncle William had been at King's before him, and his brother Cecil followed him there in September of the same year. A gifted singer, he played games without any special distinction, but read several papers (illustrated by slides) to the Harvey Society, won- the Natural History Prize and was appointed Museum Curator in 1904, was on the committee of the Debating Society and took part in many debates, and in the sixth form became a monitor and editor of The Cantuarian. In October 1907 he matriculated at Oxford through St John's, but in December migrated to Lincoln College, where he had been elected to an Open Scholarship in Modern History. As an undergraduate he was active in clubs and societies, especially literary ones, and took up rowing; there survives a pewter tankard recording that he rowed three in the Four which won the Lincoln College Junior Fours in 1909. After obtaining an honourable mention for the Stanhope Prize, he was awarded Class II honours in Modern History in 1911-a result which is at first sight surprising in view of his later eminence as a historian, but which reflected the impact of his father's sudden death in mid-February.

After qualifying for the bar in the Inner Temple, he became Head of Edghill House, Sydenham (a boarding school for boys from S.E. London with unsatisfactory home conditions), in 1913. During World War I he served from 1915 to 1919 as an A.B. (R.N.V.R.) in H.M.S. Parker, an experience which planted in him a lifelong affection for the Royal Navy. After the Armistice his friend the Revd Leonard Hodgson, then Vice-Principal of the Hall, suggested his name to the Principal, the Revd (later Bishop) H. H. Williams, and in January 1919, when he had scarcely been demobilized, he was appointed Tutor in Modern History; his name first appears in the buttery-book in the fourth week of Hilary Term. Many stories have come down of the first meetings of the Able Seaman, still in bell-bottomed trousers, with the Navy, Army or Air Force officers who were to be his pupils. In Michaelmas Term 1919 he became Bursar and a year later, Williams having been nominated for the see of Carlisle, was promoted Vice-Principal by the new Principal, the Revd G. B. Allen. For the next eight years he devoted all his energies, with the full support of the Principal, into infusing fresh and confident life into the Hall and making it a growing and increasingly successful institution. Among other things, he founded the MAGAZINE, the first issue of which (November 1920) bears his unmistakable imprint.

When Allen was made a suffragan bishop in 1928, it was widely expected that Emden would succeed him; but Queen's College, with which the appointment to the principalship then lay, passed him over in favour of the Revd G. B. Cronshaw, a senior Fellow much respected in the City as well as the University. This was also a set-back for Emden's policies, for Cronshaw was understood to be opposed to the expansionism he favoured. Already a sick man, however, the new Principal reigned ALFRED BROTHERSTON EMDEN

20

for only a few months. On his death in December 1928 justice was done and on 8 January 1929 the College elected Emden. He was formally admitted to office in the dining-hall by the Vice-Chancellor, Dr F. W. Pember, on the afternoon of 17 January.

In those days the Hall was a completely authoritarian society, the Principal personally taking the decision in all matters great and small.

From 1929 until 193 7, therefore, Emden conducted its affairs virtually single-handed, and in effect continued, to do so after 1937, when he introduced somewhat more liberal statutes. It was he who appointed the Tutors in the earlier period, and who throughout the whole of his reign selected the undergraduates, although the Tutors (later Fellows) were given a say in the election of exhibitioners. From the start he threw himself, with single-minded resourcefulness, into transforming the Hall, hitherto a small and little-regarded institution, into one which rivalled many of the colleges in numbers and in academic and sporting achievements. He took a particular interest in the buildings, restoring and refurbishing the old ones, enlarging some of these (e.g. the dininghall and the Old Library), arranging for the construction of the Canterbury Building, and (to secure more accommodation) leasing houses in the High Street from Magdalen. But his overriding concern was always with the undergraduates, with whose activities on the sports field, in societies, and in their corporate life generally he identified himself with a personal care which would today be described as paternalistic but which almost always elicited an enthusiastic response.

In 1937 he carried through important, although strictly limited and therefore inevitably temporary, constitutional changes, the effect of which was to loosen the Hall's historic ties with Queen's and to bring its government approximately into line with that of newer foundations like Keble and St Peter's Hall. First, her persuaded Queen's to transfer the freehold of the site and buildings, which had been vested in the College since 1557, to the Official Trustee of Charity Lands as Custodian Trustee, and the appointment to the principalship to a board of Trustees who were to be responsible, with the Principal, for all financial matters.

Secondly, he obtained the consent of Congregation to new statutes allowing the Tutors, now called Fellows, to have a share with the Principal in the internal and educational administration of the Hall.

Many in the University were disappointed by these proposals, taking the view that the time was ripe for the Hall to become a college, and notice of opposition was given when they were presented to Congregation in their original, even less liberal form, and he deemed it prudent to withdraw them for revision. But Emden was strongly opposed, at this stage, to any idea of the Hall's being transformed into a college.

It was preferable, as he remarked in the MAGAZINE (Vol. IV, No. 2), that it should remain the oldest surviving medieval hall than become the youngest college; his problem, as he frankly explained to Congregation (Ibid., p. 7), was 'how to modify the traditional autocracy of his office' without obliterating the historic features of it which differentiated a hall from a college.

Meanwhile Emden's reputation and influence were spreading far beyond the Hall. For many years he was a prominent member of Hebdomadal Council, and also chairman of the O.U. Appointments Com21

mittee. He was active as a trustee and commitee member of the Oxford Preservation Trust. He served on the governing bodies of a number of public schools, taking a special interest in St Edward's School, Oxford (of which he was a benefactor), and The King's School, Canterbury (where for many years he was acting chairman of the governors); and he was a member of the Council of Oxford House, Bethnal Green. As a keen layman and convinced, uncomplicated Christian he served on important Church commissions, and was much consulted on ecclesiastical and other appointments; the Patronage Secretary of the Prime Minister of the day frequently stayed in his lodgings. Not surprisingly, feelers were put out in the middle thirties by several of the newer universities seeking to interest him in becoming their Vice-Chancellor.

In the case of one he came very close to ¡accepting the invitation, but in the end declined because the man he wished to succeed him at the Hall was unwilling to do so.

For several years, both before and after the outbreak of World War II, Emden had been pressing in official quarters for the institution of naval training for undergraduates on the lines of the O.T.C.s and Air Squadrons. When the O.U. Naval Division was formed in 1942, he was appointed its commanding officer with the rank of Lieutenant Commander R.N.V.R., Special Duties Branch. He carried out his new duties with enormous but entirely characteristic energy and efficiency until September 1944, when with the end of war in sight he resigned in order to give the lead to the revival of normal conditions in the Hall. The last six years of his reign, however, were less happy than the earlier ones. It was evident, for one thing, that in spite of having devolved some of his duties on the Vice-Principal the double burden of being both Principal and C.0. of the Naval Division had seriously overtaxed him. As a result these years were chequered by repeated spells of illness.

Relations with the Fellows had also become less easy, for they were showing increasing impatience with the limited role which the statutes of 1937 allowed them as compared with that of Fellows in colleges.

Eventually the strains of illness became too severe and necessitated his premature retirement at the end of July 1951.

Although he could have no inkling of it at the time, his retirement was to prove even longer than his tenure of the principalship. The first years he found very difficult; it inevitably irked him sorely to be separated from the Hall to which he had given, and never ceased to give, his whole heart, and to have no say in its developing affairs.

Retirement, however, gave him the opportunity to complete the research on which he had been engaged over many years. As long ago as 1927 he had published An Oxford Hall in Medieval Times, a detailed study of the early history of St Edmund Hall which also embraced the history of public halls in general in Oxford in the period reviewed; and in 1936 he had been joint-editor, with Professor F. M. Powicke, of a valuable revised edition of Rashdall's Medieval Universities. Now he entered on a period of sustained production which confirmed him as a historian of exceptional calibre. First, a magisterial article appeared in 1954 in the Victoria History of Oxfordshire summarizing the history of the Hall from the beginnings to that date. Then came two pioneer works, without parallel in any country, A Biographical Register of the University 22

of Oxford to A.D. 1500, in three volumes, 1957-59 (to be supplemented in 1974 by a Register covering the years 1501-40 and bringing the total of names surveyed to c. 15,500), and A Biographical Register of the University of Cambridge to 1500, 1963. These were followed in 1967

by A Survey of Dominicans in England. These remarkable works, based on meticulous research carried out by Emden personally at a time when access to episcopal registers was much more difficult than it is now, have placed a tool of inestimable value in the hands of students of English social and cultural life in the middle ages. Other studies of equal originality followed, most notably Medieval Decorated Tiles in Dorset, which he published in his late eighties and which testified to a lifelong concern for a subject previously unexplored, a concern which he communicated to other scholars so that a national census of medieval tiles has been established.

Alfred Emden was a man of tireless energy to whose range of interest and knowledge (ornithology, the flora of Great Britain, copying in water colours, medieval castles, and architecture generally are but a few) it would be difficult to do justice. Possessing great force of character and determination, he quickly made up his mind, and had a singular confidence in the rightness of his decisions; and if there was a certain condescension, sometimes even hauteur, in his manner, he combined it with gracious courtesy and consideration. The spell he exercised on those who were undergraduates at the Hall in his time can rarely have been equalled; to them he was, and remains, a legend. By contrast his authoritarian style, his impatience of opposition, and his deliberate refusal to share responsibility with the Fellows (who were as a result not Fellows in the proper sense), increasingly led to tensions with his colleagues, in spite of their admiration and respect for him. He was always at his best when helping a young scholar working in his field, and he retained this magic gift right to the end.

In retirement, once he had got over the frustrating initial years, he gradually became reconciled and mellowed, made a point of getting to know all the Fellows personally, and received in return their warm affection. He had a special concern for their families and children, in whose hobbies he shared to their unfailing delight. He took a no less active interest in the village life of Headington. Always a generous man, he was continually making gifts, small and great, to the College he loved, and when he died he crowned them all by leaving it a munificent benefaction. ABE (as he liked to be called by his friends) received his full share of academic honours: Honorary Fellowships at the Hall and at Lincoln, Honorary Doctorates of Letters at both Oxford and Cambridge, a Fellowship of the British Academy, a Corresponding Fellowship of the Mediaeval Academy of America. But the honour which he himself prized most highly was to have presided over and guided the fortunes of the Hall at a critical period in its history and to have left it a stable society with a vigorous spirit and a record of achievement which equipped it to face the future with a confidence it had never previously enjoyed.

OBITUARIES are recorded with regret: Allan Curton Bailey, M.A., Exhibitioner of the Hall from 1934 to 1937, died on 28 March 1979 at the age of 63. While at the Hall he read English, and was President of both the Essay Society and The Makers. He subsequently took a teaching diploma at Hull University, and then held a succession of teaching posts, the last being as a Principal Lecturer at Totley /Thornbridge College of Education, Sheffield.

Kenneth Edward Brierley-Jones, commoner 1966-67, died very suddenly on 7 July 1978, aged 34. After studying at the Grammar School for Boys, Weston-super-Mare, he obtained a B.Sc. and M .Sc. in Chemistry at Birmingham University, and joined the College in 1966 to work for, and obtain, the Diploma in Education. Shortly after leaving the University he suffered an almost complete kidney failure, and was one of the first people in the country to benefit from a kidney transplant.

This gave him an extra ten years of active life, and he proved a highly effective teacher at his old school, eventually becoming Head of Combined Science at Broadoak School, the comprehensive of which it is a constituent part. A noted rugby player in his youth, he was unable later to be physically active, but was successful in training boys and girls in folk dancing.

Edward Mark Carpenter, M.A., commoner 1935-38, died suddenly of a heart attack while on holiday in Spain on 24 August 1978; his age was 61. While at college he studied agriculture, and developed an interest in its economic aspects. He eventually became Professor of Agricultural Marketing at the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, a position which he held when he died.

THE FOLLOWING DEATHS

39

The Revd Seymour Alfred Carling Dickins, M.A., commoner 1926 (Jan.)-1928, died on 17 February 1979, aged 72. After taking honours in Modern History he trained for the ministry at Salisbury Theological College, and then held curacies at Devonport, Bournemouth and Guernsey. His main work, however, was in the Oxford diocese, where he was a successful and greatly loved Vicar of Hughenden, Bucks., for thirty years (1942-72). Through his leadership funds were raised for completely re-roofing the church, re-building the organ, renewing the bell chamber and re-casting the bells. For the earlier part of this period he was also Officiating Chaplain, R.A.F. Bomber Command, H.Q. Unit.

In May 1974 he emerged from his retirement at Cumnor to look after the combined parish of Bradwell and Kencot, twenty miles away, with devoted pastoral care until his death when the Bishop had suspended the living.

Frank Walker Lucas Evans, M.A., commoner 1922- 26, died on 29 May 1979 at the age of 74. When at the Hall he read Greats, and was also captain of Hockey. From the start his ambition was to be a schoolmaster, and he fulfilled it by joining Cranbrook School on leaving the Hall and remaining on the staff for forty years, retiring in 1966. For the last sixteen and a half years he was Vice-Master. He then settled at Eastbourne and did part-time teaching at a preparatory school.

Glyn Kinnaird Bramwell Evens, M.A., commoner 1931-35, died on 11 January 1977, aged 64. After reading English at the Hall, he became a schoolmaster for a few years, but then changed course and took up psychology. In the next stage of his career he practised as a psychologist, and in retirement settled at Little Sampford, Essex.

The Right Revd William Gordon Fallows, M.A., since 1971 Bishop of Sheffield, died on 17 August 1979. Exhibitioner 1932-35, he read P.P.E. and was a vigorous President of the Debating Society and Chairman of the Liddon Society. After training for the ministry at Ripon Hall, he was ordained, and became Vicar of Preston in 1945; he was subsequently Archdeacon of Lancaster, Principal of Ripon Hall, and Bishop of Pontefract (1968- 71). He was Chaplain to the Queen (1954-68), and from 1975 Clerk to the Closet. A scholar (he wrote a useful monograph on Bishop Creighton), and also a man of firm leadership and businesslike drive, he might well have become an outstanding member of the bench, but these hopes were frustrated by the onset of serious illness, and in May he had announced his decision to resign at the end of the year.

Michael Staniland Fowler, M.A., commoner 1957-60, died on 22 February 1979 after a long illness; his age was 39. While at the Hall he read Modern History, and his range of interests included cross country running, films and the Union Society; he was also undegraduate editor of THE MAGAZINE. He made the law his profession, and when he died was the leading partner in a firm of solicitors at Walsall.

John Harry Sefton Jenkins, M.A., who was a commoner 1932-35 and returned to work for the Diploma in Education 1959-60, died on 19 March 1978, aged 64. After three months at the School of Oriental Studies, he went out to Malaya in the Colonial Customs Service. He was in Singapore when it fell into the hands of the Japanese and was imprisoned, first in Changi Goal, then in the Sime Road Camp, being 40

one of the few who survived. After the liberation he went to New Zealand and worked for a time in the Office of the U.K. High Commissioner in Wellington, eventually returning to the Federation of Malaya to take up an appointment in the Customs and Excise Department. In 1959 he came back to England and the Hall, and in the following year obtained his Dip.Ed. From that date until his death he was teaching at Magdalen College School, Brackley.

Hugh Arthur Leverett, M.A., commoner 1946-48, died on 29 July 1978, aged 55. Before coming up to the Hall he had served in the Navy, and while at Oxford he had a versatile career, reading P.P.E., being successively Secretary and Captain of the Hall Tennis Club, being President of the Makers, and contributing to both First Words and Cherwell.

On going down he qualified as an accountant with Deloitte, Plender, Griffiths and Co. Subsequently he gave up accountancy and held a succession of appointments in industry and commerce. For a spell of years he was honorary auditor to the St Edmund Hall Association.

The Revd William Harry Murdoch, M.A., commoner Hilary Term 1943 and Hilary Term 1947-Trinity Term 1948, was killed in a car accident on 8 March 1979 at the age of 53. In the last years of the war he served in the Royal Navy, and on leaving the Hall trained for the ministry at Queen's College, Birmingham. After being ordained he served curacies at Kirkby Stephen (Carlisle), Egremont (Chester) and Frome (Bath and Wells). From 1957 until his death he was Vicar of Middlezoy, Somerset, holding it in plurality with the parish of Othery.

The Revd Canon Alexander McLeod Murray, M.A., commoner 192123, died on 8 September 1978, aged 85. Having previously obtained the B.A. degree at London University, he was awarded a briliant First in Theology at the Hall in 1923, and proceeded to Wells Theological College for his training. After serving his title at Holy Trinity, Dorchester, he was Foreign Secretary to the S.P.G. from 1926 to 1928. He then became Vicar of Ousby, Cumberland, and in 1933 was appointed Examining Chaplain to the Bishop of Carlisle. After a short spell as Vice-Principal of Wells Theological College, he returned to the Carlisle diocese as Vicar of Warcop (with Musgrave from 1938) from 1934 to 1946. After that he was successively Vicar of Beetham and of Sawrey until his retirement in 1961. He was an Honorary Canon of Carlisle from 1953 to 1961, and a Canon Emeritus from that date until his death. A highly scholarly priest, he was deflected from an academic career by a bishop, who raised difficulties to his taking up an academic post which he was offered as a young man at Keble College. His scholarship remained lively until the end, and in his closing years he put together a collection of thought-provoking studies in the Fourth Gospel which merited publication.

The Revd John Evelyn Theodore Phillips, M.A., commoner 1927-27, died on 24 August 1978, aged 71. On leaving the Hall he went to Westcott House, Cambridge, to train for the ministry, and subsequently served curacies in Southampton and then in Melksham, Wilts. From 1937 to 1953 he was Priest-in-charge of Seend, being Acting Rector of Portland 1940-43. From 1946 to 1948 he was Honorary Chaplain to the Bishop of Salisbury. From 1953 to 1968 he was Priest-in-charge of Redlynch and of Morgan's Vale. In the latter year he moved to the

41

Exeter diocese, becoming Vicar of South Milton, Kingsbridge, Devon.

Under his Will he left a useful legacy to the College.

Franklin Dickerson Walker, M.A. (Ph.D. Calif.), Rhodes Scholar 1921- 23, died on 29 December 1978, aged 78. Coming to Oxford from Arizona, where he had studied Engineering, he made a smooth transition to English literature, which was to be his lifelong absorption. From Oxford he moved to California, where he taught for several years at San Diego College and began the specialized studies in the literature and culture of the West Coast through which he was to make his reputation. In 1932 he published his first book, a biography of Frank Morris, and in the next few years came his works on San Francisco's Literary Frontier and on Ambrose Bierce. Other books, written or edited by him, followed in a steady stream. From 1940 until his joining the U.S. Air Force in 1943 he was Professor of English Literature at the University of Oregon. In 1946 he was one of the Air Force obsevers at the trial atomic explosion on a faraway Pacific atoll. After leaving the service he was elected to the Reinhardt Chair of American Literature at Mills College, Oakland, California, a position he held until retirement in 1966. His rising reputation now brought him a visiting lecturership in American letters at the University of Uppsala; and during his time at Mills his books The Irreverent Pilgrims and The Seacoast of Bohemia (dealing with the early art colony of Carmel).

The Revd Fr Geoffrey Speight Wamsley, M.A., commoner 1928-31, died of a sudden heart attack on 16 July 1977, aged 68. After obtaining a Second in History and a First in Theology at the Hall, he studied for a year at the Royal College of Music, and then trained for the Anglican ministry at Cuddesdon. After parish work in Gloucester and Greenford, he returned to Cuddesdon to work, first as Chaplain, then as Vice-Principal. In 1940 he was drawn to the Roman Catholic Church, was received into it in 1941, and began his studies at the Beda in Rome.

He was ordained in the Roman rite in 1945, and for seventeen years served as Chaplain of St Philip's Grammar School, Birmingham. Later he was much engaged in parochial work and in looking after the sick in St Chad's Hospital. A member of the Congregation of the Oratory, he was elected Provost in 1965, and re-elected in 1968 and again in 1977. A humble and gentle man who lavished care and affection on all who came his way, he lived much of his life on a bicycle, which he treated so severely that it was' in constant need of repair.

The Right Revd Russell Berridge White, M.A., commoner 1919-22, died on 10 December 1978, aged 81. Educated at the City of Oxford School, he served in the 1914-18 war with the Queen's Own Oxfordshire Hussars and wore the Mons Star among his decorations. He was ordained in 1923 and served for a decade in the Liverpool area, becoming secretary of the Evangelical Churchmen's Ordination Council in 1933, a post which he held until 1959. From 1934 to 1958 he was successively curate of St Mary Woolnoth, in the City, Vicar of St Stephen's, East Twickenham, and Vicar of SS.

CLUBS AND SOCIETIES THE BOAT CLUB Captain: N. P. HOWARD Vice-Captain: c. T. BLOUNT Secretary: C. T. L. SAMUEL Treasurer: D. J. HOPE Steward: R. KEELEY Social Secretary: M. P. ROGERS THE HARD WORK of the committee throughout the year was amply rewarded when the First VIII, comprising six schoolsmen and two novices, bumped Keble outside their own boathouse to go second on the river and settle many old scores. The Eight, coached by T . Fowler, N. Blackwell and R. Young and inspiringly led by R. Moore, made a courageous attack on Oriel who, however, retained the Headship. The Second VIII, after an auspicious victory at Thames Ditton, suffered cruelly at the hands of O.U.B.C. and, from equipment failure, only succeeded in going up one place. Both Third and Fourth VIIIs chalked up one bump each, whilst the Fifth (Schools) VIII fought off strong challenges on all but one day. The Sixth VIII notched up a further two bumps, whilst the Seventh VIII missed winning their blades by a canvas.

Three Hallmen-R. Moore, P. Brooks and J. Mead-competed in O.U.B.C. trials. Four Novice and two Senior crews were entered for the Christ Church Regatta, all of whom gained some measure of success.

The First Torpid, coached by C. Jones and D. Imeson, trained for six weeks often in atrocious weather, defeating Selwyn first heat in a training weekend and finishing seventh in the Molesey Head race. The Eight climbed one place and the Second Torpid gained five bumps. A Junior VIII reached the semi-final of Oriel Regatta, whilst a reshaped First VIII competed in the Ladies' Plate at Henley. D. Hope and C. Samuel won the University Pairs Competition during June. It is hoped that a new influx of school oarsmen in the near future will maintain the recent impressive progress of the Club.

N.P.H.

THE RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB League Captain: A. LUNDIE Cuppers Captain: A. J. HAXBY Secretary: I. w. DURRANS STRENGTH IN DEPTH has been the predominant feature of the Rugby Club this year. For the first time in many years the Hall fielded three XVs on the same day, all recording a victory!

In the Michaelmas Term the First XV finished second in the league to Keble, who were the only side to defeat them, 13-9. The team turned in many exciting performances, notably against Merton, winning 50-0, and Jesus, where they came from behind to snatch victory 14-12 in the dying minutes. The Second XV proved disappointing, avoiding relegation only by a hair's breadth. The Third XV surprisingly achieved promotion to the third division, losing only to Wolfson-a remarkable attempt for such a motley bunch of characters.

At the start of the Hilary Term the Cuppers squad showed great potential, although it never reached the heights of which it was evidently capable. Having defeated Pembroke 42-0 and Brasenose by a similar 44

margin, we fell to Christ Church, the eventual winners, 12-11 in an exciting semi-final.

Hall Rugby reached its peak in the University 7-a-side Competition, which we won in fine style, with our wealth of individual talent at last having a chance to be shown. One hopes that the present high standard of Rugby will be maintained in the years to come.

A.J.H.

THE ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL CLUB Cuppers Captain: M. POWER League Captain and Hon. Secretary: N. A. EDWARDS ONCE AGAIN the League achievements of the Hall's teams failed to reach our pre-season expectations. The First XI, trouble by injuries, struggled to find any consistency and the Second XI, unable to field a settled team, were relegated. The Third XI were the Hall's most successful League side, managing to reach a solid mid-table position.

In Cuppers both the Third XI and the newly formed Fourth XI were beaten in their first matches and the Second XI, after an encouraging win over Hertford, lost to Merton/Mansfield in the second round. However, the First Xls Cuppers success was the season's highlight. After qualifying as top of their group, the Hall won a tense quarter-final against New College on penalties after extra-time. In the semi-final we held mighty Oriel, the eventual winners, for much of the game, being beaten only by a fiercely disputed goal late in extra-time.

So overall it was a disappointing season, but with most of this year's First XI squad returning next year and the hope of a good freshman intake, we can go into next season with confidence.

N.A.E. THE CRICKET CLUB Captain: R. F. J. H. RUVIGNY Secretary,: M. C. LOVICK Cuppers Captain: N. J. C. GANDON THE HALL'S CHANCES in Cuppers this year were potentially good, with six players of Authentics standard or better. The strength in batting, however, was not matched by bowling, which was generally tidy but hardly penetrative. Merton and Wadham were comfortably disposed of in the first two rounds, R. Luddington scoring a hard-hitting 51 not out in the latter game. In the quarter-finals we faced a strong all-round New College side, who went on to win the whole competition. Chasing a total of 160, the Hall succumbed to some tight bowling, despite a fighting 63 from N. Gandon.

The friendly matches were, as usual, plagued by the weather and exams. There were good wins, however, against Blenheim C.C., Selwyn College, Cambridge, and Merton, and the Hall had much the better of draws against Trinity and Worcester. Half-centuries were scored by N. Plater, R. Luddington and T. Bury. Outstanding again, though, was R. Ruvigny who, in the last three matches scored 57, 68 not out and an elegant 100 against Worcester. Thanks are due to those who turned out during finals time, especially those with limited experience. ¡ M.C.L. 45

THE HOCKEY CLUB Captain: 0. J. STOVIN Secretary: H . JENNINGS THE 1978- 79 SEASON saw the strongest Hall team for some time. With two Blues and four Occasionals we reached the semi-finals of Cuppers, losin g 2- 1 to Lincoln, who were the eventual winners.

In the league, although not always able to field the strongest side, we played enjoyable and successful hockey. The team was unlucky to miss promotion back to the First Division, something that should be r ectified next season. A good deal of gratitude must go to the large squad of players, mainly freshmen, who regularly turned out for league matches, often at very short notice.

O.J.S. THE ATHLETICS CLUB Captain: J. R. MORELAND THIS YEAR the Hall has been outstandingly successful in athletics, and also even in the tug o' war competition which took place on the same days as Cuppers. In the heats the tug o' war team defeated St John's by two pulls to nil, and eventually achieved a fine 2-0 victory over Christ Church in the final. In the heats of the athletics the Hall team scored a remarkable 195 points and then won the Final, at last bringing back the trophy which has not graced the Hall since 1975. Notable performances were by sprinters Peter Baker and Mick Mill and high-jumper Andrew Beardmore, as well as many other individuals. It was indeed a fine team victory, and with only one athlete leaving this year, we should retain the trophy for a number of years.

J.R.M. THE SQUASH RACQUETS CLUB Captain : T. E. 0. BURY Secretary: L. D. PAGE A STRONG and enthusiastic team outclassed most of its opponents to finish top of the league, returning to the First Division at the first attempt. A promising Cuppers run was ended by an indifferent performance against Balliol in the quarter-finals. Congratulations are due to Nigel Preston, who finally won the Blue which has eluded him for so long.

L.D.P.

THE LAWN TENNIS CLUB Captain: P. D. LIM IN CUPPERS we beat Worcester and then lost to University College, who were seeded fourth, in the quarter-finals. Despite a very rainy season, we managed to finish our league programme, winning five out of seven of the matches.

P.D.L.

THE BADMINTON CLUB Captain and Secretary: D. HARTLEY AS EXPECTED a depleted First Team achieved a respectable middle of the table position in the College League. However, with the introduction of three Blues the Cuppers team comfortably succeeded in winning through to the final of the knock-out competition. In the final Corpus

46

Christi provided the sternest resistance to date, but were still beaten 4-0 by a most convincing Hall display. Congratulations are particularly due to D. Hartley, who has succeeded in continuing the Hall's consistent record in this sport.

M.B.W.

THE CROSS-COUNTRY CLUB Captain: J. ROUND Secretary: D. MUCKERSIE THIS YEAR has seen a dramatic revival in the Club's fortunes. Although Cuppers brought a disappointing sixth place, the League position of second, ~ just behind Keble, was a fairer reflection of the depth of enthusiastic participation existing throughout the season. The 'old stalwarts' and freshmen John McCabe ran consistently well, but equally valuable contributions further down the field came from other first years, suggesting the Club may maintain its position as one of the College's most successful sports for some years.

This year's S.E.H. Relay attracted forty teams, including the first Hall Rugby entry, and was won by Bristol University. Thanks are due to all who assisted on the day, and to the Dean who presented the prizes.

In the annual Summer Cross-Country Race, the Hall team of McCabe, Muckersie, Round and Ashton came second, while a 'B' team won the second team prize.

D.A.M. THE SWIMMING CLUB Captain: C. ELEY A CHANGE of Cuppers rules gave the Hall team little chance of winning, but equally to blame for a poor performance compared with previous years was the lack of enthusiasm shown by most Hallmen for the sport.

The team of I. Durrans, P. Field, R. Durrans and C. Eley did, however, swim well to finish Sth overall. Highlights of the team performance were second place in the free-style event and a win by the captain in the individual butterfly event.

Water Polo Cuppers was re¡- introduced this year, and the Hall team won the competition with victories in all their qualifying and final group matches. Good defensive play coupled with quick counter-attacks ensured success against teams with superior swimming activity such as the favourites Christ Church.

C.E. THE TABLE TENNIS CLUB President and Secretary: M. HANIFF ALTHOUGH INEXPLICABLY excluded from Cuppers this year, the season must go down as one of the more successful in recent years. An injection of talented freshmen into both the First and Second teams enabled both to gain promotion from the Fourth and Fifth Divisions respectively.

However, the most important factor of the season was that everyone who played applied himself with enthusiasm and verve. Many thanks to all those who turned out for the side.

THE REAL TENNIS CLUB Captain: w. A. HOLLINGTON Secretary: C. C. A. BROWN THE HALL pair fo r the Cuppers competition consisted of the above two officials, and reached the final, owing largely to the efforts of the captain.

Bill Hollington was also a member of the succesful Blues side against Cambridge, as well as winning the National under-24's Championship.

C.C.A.B. THE DARTS CLUB Captain: A. STOCKMAN Trinity Term: I. COLEMAN MICHAELMAS TERM passed inconspicuously and at Christmas we languished at the lower end of the First Division. In Hilary Term, however, the team, although the same as the previous term's, achieved strikingly better results (including a 6- 6 draw with the eventual league champions, St Peter's) to pull up to a creditable fourth place.

In Cuppers we had our largest margin of victory in the first roundll- 1, and then were unfortunate in meeting St Peter's in the second round, to whom we lost narrowly 7- 5, defeat coming only in the very last game of the match.

I.C. CONGRATULATIONS IN ADDITION to the sporting achievements referred to above, the following are to be congratulated for their performances against Cambridge: Tony Watkinson, as captain, Roy Hoolahan, Paul Brett and Chris Dew (Rugby); Mike Power (Football); Crispin Eley (Captain of Swimming and Water-Polo); John McCabe, John Moreland, Peter Baker and Andrew Beardmore (Athletics); Don Crawshaw (Boxing); Brian Livesey, Anson Jack and John Christopher (Badmington); Nick Henshaw (Lacrosse); and Howard Jennings (Ballroom Dancing). Also Rob Moore for becoming the Hall's thirty-fourth Blue in the Boat Race victory against the Light Blues, and Paul Sutton and Nick Haddock (goalkeeper) for playing in the magnificent 6-1 victory at Lord's in the Varsity Hockey match.

THE HEARNE SOCIETY President: c. s. HORNER Hon. Secretary : N. C. TUCKER HAVING RE-EMERGED from temporary oblivion, the Hearne Society had an eventful and stimulating Trinity Term. Conrad Russell of Bedford College, London, gave an eloquent discourse on 'Early Stuart Parliaments', and John Merrill of Selwyn College, Cambridge, discussed 'The County Communities in Restoration England'. The Annual Dinner was a huge success, not least because Professor Richard Cobb fantasized wittily and entertainingly on the possible Napoleonic scenario for England and Oxford after a lost Waterloo.

C.S.H. THE CHRISTIAN UNION Representative: T. SAUNDERS THIS HAS been of quiet consolidation rather than expansion, although we have gained a few new members . We are now in a position to look forward with confidence in God to next year as a mixed Christian Union.

THE MUSIC SOCIETY President: A. B. WATHEY Vice-President: R . M. 0STERLEY Secretary: P. N. DUNN Treasurer: P. K. ROSSITER THIS YEAR'S Michaelmas Term concert, unfortunately the Society's only event this year, brought to completion the series of works for wind instruments by Richard Strauss with the E Flat symphony 'Frohlich Werkstatt'. The programme also included works by Wagner- 'The Siegfried Idyll', and Ravel-the 'Introduction and Allegro', the harp solo part in the latter being played by Rachel Masters. The concert was performed by an ad hoe ensemble under the direction of Mark van der Wiel.

Following last year's successful performance of 'Carmina Burana', the the Society had planned a performance of Mahler's 9th Symphony, to be conducted by Michael Smedley at the Town Hall. Unfortunately the concert had to be cancelled at short notice owing to industrial action

by Town Hall staff.

No events were staged in Trinity Term, However, plans are afoot for a number of concerts next Michaelmas Term, when the Society will undoubtedly benefit from its amalgamation with the Music Club.

A.B.W. THE MUSIC CLUB President: s. c. FLOOD THE CLUB continued to meet regularly to listen to recorded works, members being encouraged to introduce others to their favourite composers and compositions. A combined concert and play trip to London in Michaelmas Term proved very successful, as did a 'Face the Music' quiz staged in Hilary Term.

S.C.F. THE ART COMMITTEE President: A. N. BODDINGTON Secretary: S. C. FLOOD THIS YEAR saw several acquisitions. Jesse Allen (matric. 1953) made two donations to the Hall: 'Volcanic Archipelago' (seven panels), and 'Serpents Coupling in the Mist' (three panels). 'Lavatory Wall', by Le Corbusier, was sold in order to raise additional funds for the cartoon 'Two Men in White Raiment', made by William Morris for the top righthand panel of the chapel east window, and which is now hanging in\ the antechapel. We bought 'Grenadine', a screen print by Thelma Chambers, and the home industry of the College was supported by the purchase of an etching 'Walking Man', and a woodcut 'Elm at Maugersbury', both by Andrew Curtis.

'Girl's Head' by Burne-Jones, 'Venice' by Annigoni', 'Pheasant' by Kokoschka, and the works of Dufort proved most popular on the loan scheme.

An engraved silver water-jug was presented to the Principal on the occasion of his retirement, and is to be used on the J .C.R. President's table in formal Hall.

THE FILM SOCIETY Secretary: S. A. STAITE THE SO CIETY suffered mixed fortunes. With a proposed two films a term, one film was delivered late, another clashed with other J.C.R. functions, and the last was made unavailable by the hire firm. This was a pity, since the other films, including Young Frankenstein and Lenny were enjoyed enough to justify the existence of the Society. Many thanks are due to Peter Trowles for his services as projectionist.

S.A.S.

THE JOHN METHUEN DINING SOCIETY President: N. P. HOWARD THE SOCIETY came of age in Hilary Term when its Twenty-first Birthday Dinner was held at the Cherwell Boathouse. Twenty-eight members were present, and we were privileged to be joined by the Principal and Mr R. Venables later in the evening, before retiring to the Steward's apartment for port.

A cocktail party was held in the Library Garden during Trinity Term on a balmy summer evening.

N.P.H. BELATED MOOTING REPORT 1978 the Hall mooting team (Gavin Hamilton and Paul Matthews) won the Inter-Collegiate Mooting Competition thus: IN

HILARY

lst round 2nd round 3rd round Final

vs. vs. vs. vs.

Hertford (withdrew) Somerville (9-2-78) University (24-2-78) Brasenose. Held in Christ Church Law Library, before Mr Justice Slynn (10-3-78)

The Hall, in recognition of their victory, gave the team, and the law dons and scholars, a special dinner on June 16th, presided over by Mr Midgley. There is a tradition that the winners of the Oxford competition moot against Cambridge in the following Michaelmas; so on December lst they travelled down to Fen-land, where they defeated Cambridge before Lord Justice Lawton, Professor P. S. Atiyah (Oxford) and Mr D. J. Hayton (Cambridge:).

I have examined the books and vouchers of the Association for the year ended 3lst July, 1978. 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 3lst July, 1978, and of the excess of Income over Expenditure for the year ended on that date.
