ST EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE VOL. XI, No. 7

OCTOBER 1980

EDITORIAL IN LAST YEAR'S issue, the Editor of the Magazine paid tribute to the Editor of the Magazine for being personally responsible for all the issues from Vol. VI, No. 1 (Dec. 1951) to that issue. With some help from colleagues and undergraduate editors it had 'been his task ... 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.' Dr. Kelly actually liked putting the Magazine together and spent many a happy pre-dinner summer evening capturing some event of the Hall year in his inimitable prose. The new Editor intends to persuade more voices to speak, and ¡spend his energies in forcing contributions from experts rather than writing them himself. This should provide a new pleasure for readers, as they attempt to identify contributors by their prose, although they should be warned that varying degrees of Editorial intervention may blurr the accuracy of stylistic analysis.

The Editor would like to record his thanks to his Junior Editor, Miss Bridget Walker, the first Lady Junior Editor, and one of the most efficient brow-beaters of reluctant Captains of Clubs.

FROM THE PRINCIPAL SOME TIME AGO, one of those friends which it is best not to have told me that anyone who presumed to become the head of an Oxford College must be a compulsive egoist and masochist. With this far from reassuring thought in the back of my mind it was with some trepidation that I took up my duties as the Principal of St Edmund Hall in August 1979. The Principal's Lodgings and its Study were in the hands of the builders - a situation which was to prevail for another fifteen months - and I was given the temporary use of Graham Midgley's study on the north side of the Quad. This is a charming room, but I was soon to discover that I was sharing my desk with a human skull wearing, like a wreath, a

Black Mamba. Fortunately these turned out to be the products of some polymer chemists' skills rather than some grizzly relic of a human disaster. In the shadows of a corner, squatted a bronze Troglodyte who grinned disapprovingly at this stranger from some different world. I had indeed arrived in a strange place! Had that friend been right? Happily it is difficult to maintain any sense of unease for long in the surroundings of the Hall. Entering the Quad from Queen's Lane on a sunny August morning cannot fail to reassure; surely one of the most charismatic academic settings to be found anywhere in the country. However that feeling of loneliness which attends the first few days in any unfamiliar organisation or institution was certainly present, doubly so for one who had never enjoyed that singular privilege of studying in an Oxford College (nor for that matter in that other place) and whose most recent involvement with academia had been many decades ago.

The first sense of belonging came from an unexpected quarter; the letters from old members. Almost daily these arrived, invariably with some warm words of welcome, and a little bit of news. 'I am now married', 'We have a son', 'I am now the Vicar of', and so on, each one prompting a look back into the files of long ago, to discover a charming cameo of the young hopes and ambitions of former members, enthusiastic letters of commendation from long departed headmasters, some pithy comments from tutors, records of sports and academic achievements, copies of references and then the sporadic letters reporting the flowering of a career or calling, and the human stories behind these. Sometimes the letters had a more melancholy message, the passing of one who had once been a vigorous and excited occupant of Staircase I or II and doubtless a sometime noisy diner in the old dining hall. Others heralded the arrival of a bequest or a gift, some modest, some more lavish, but always a symbol of great generosity. Inevitably the feeling grew of belonging to a large unseen family all with that bond of love for the Hall. It was impossible to feel lonely in such company.

Then came Noughth Week, a new notation in the calendar for me, whose significance I was rapidly to discover. The students arrived in what appeared to my inexperienced eye in vast undisciplined hordes. Portmanteaus, trunks, radios, rackets, and all that paraphernalia that the young regard as essential to the good life criss-crossed the Quad, vanished into the staircases or in some cases sat disconsolately in the lobbies waiting for a claimant. All these young folk looked dauntingly clever and there was abundant 2

evidence of their immense energy. Good heavens, how could one hope to get to know them all? remember their names? their subjects? their schools? their homes? and how to cope with this mass onslaught of talent and vigour? It was at this stage that I began to realise and to appreciate the existence of my colleagues and to note with gratitude and relief that they had been coping with these situations for generations .

In the same week came the first encounter with all of those alphabetic committees by means of which a college manages its affairs - the GB, the APC, the BC, the IC, and a multitude of others which become a part of the Principal's life. So virulent are these bodies that they spawn hybrids, the IC/ BC, the BC/ BWC, and even the CC/BC/ IC. It appears that in the genetic order of a college the BC is a dominant strain. Through these committees it became possible to understand the business of the Hall, its preoccupations, its priorities and its traditions. It also became possible to perceive that there was an order and a system in the pattern and in the rhythm of the committees which enabled the activities of what is now one of the largest colleges of Oxford to be managed without intruding too much into its tutorial and research activities.

Time now began to pass quickly, terms started and then came to an end with astonishing speed and a whole academic year has passed. Norham St Edmund has been purchased and equipped, the Chapel has a new organ, there have been triumphs on the sports fields and on the river, a hundred and fifty junior members have been launched into the next stage of their careers and a similar number of freshers have been selected and have been entered. It all seems very remarkable.

The last academic year is specially remarkable in two other respects. The first is that this was the first year that the ladies joined the ranks of the junior members. The sombre forebodings of some of the Fellows about the problems that were likely to attend such a dramatic change have proved to be groundless. The life of the College has been made even more colourful and charming by the arrival of the ladies. The last year was also the first year of John Kelly's retirement, and I must use the privilege of these paragraphs to express my deep gratitude to him for the welcome and the help he has extended to me. To see a newcomer occupy the chair which had been his for so long must have been a singular hardship and it would have been only human if at times he had been driven to show his exasperation or had been prompted to give some strongly worded advice. Not only did this not happen, but he 3

has invariably been his friendly and jovial self, always willing to help but never intruding. As I grow to appreciate the great strides made by the Hall during his stewardship, I realise that whatever can be achieved during my period will be humble in comparison.

In the jargon of the stage, he is a difficult act to follow.

THE PRINCIPAL AND FELLOWS is to be congratulated on receiving an Honorary Doctorate of Science at Reading University in May of this year and on receiving, two days later, an Honorary Doctorate of Technology awarded by the Council for National Academic Awards.

Sir Dennis Wright (Honorary Fellow) gave the twelfth Sir Norman Angell lecture on 'Energy Problems and Prospects for Peace in the Middle East' at Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana. On the following day he represented Oxford University and led the academic procession at the inauguration of the University's new President. He also lectured at Yale University.

For 3 Yi weeks in February and March 1980 he was one of Her Majesty's Government's twenty Official Observers of the Zimbabwe-Rhodesia elections, the group including, besides a number of retired ambassadors and high Commissioners, two Oxford professors and the Warden of Rhodes House.

Dr. J. N. D. Kelly (Honorary Fellow) delivered the Hensley Henson lectures to the University on 'Studies in John Chrysostom'.

Dr. D. C. M. Yardley (Emeritus Fellow) is leaving the Department of law at Oxford Polytechnic to become Professor of law at the University College at Buckingham.

Dr. R. B. Mitchell worked with the editorial staff of the planned Dictionary of Old English at Toronto in September 1978 and subsequently lectured at Cornell, Harvard and Yale Universities.

In April 1979 he lectured at the University of Bologna. In September-October 1979, he visited Finland and lectured at the Universities of Helsinki, Jyvaskyla, Oulu, Turku and at Abo Akademi .

Dr. F. Rossotti lectured at the three Universities of Barcelona during summer 1979.

Dr. D. I. Scargill has been appointed to the Domestic and Juvenile Panels of the Oxford City Bench.

J . P. D. Dunbabin was a member of the Oxford historical delegation (along with The Rev. H. E. J. Cowdrey) to the Joint THE PRINCIPAL

4

Conference with the University of Bonn in April 1979. He read a paper on 'Trends in English poor relief since the seventeenth century'. In June 1980 he attended a conference organised by the German Historical Institute, in London, and contributed a paper on 'The British military establishment and appeasement'.

A. Marsh visited Japan in October and November 1979, at the invitation of the Universities of Tokyo and Kyoto and of the Japan Foundation, to study workplace relations in a number of companies. He also visited Hong Kong University and the Labour Department of Hong Kong. As compiler of the Concise Encyclopedia of Industrial Relations he is to be congratulated on that book being nominated for the McColvin Medal as the outstanding reference book of the year, and on himself being recommended for a Blue Circle Award as Industrial Author of the Year.

N. C. Pollock was a visiting professor at the University of Texas from January to August, 1979 and while there did some research on the geography of settlement.

J. B. Knight, in pursuance of his research, spent part of the summer, Christmas and Easter vacations in East Africa.

Dr. P. J. Collins visited the Netherlands, West Germany, Italy and France on behalf of the Commission of the European Community, with a view to setting joint programmes in mathematics between countries of the E.E.C ..

AVE ATQUE VALE one of our Fellows in Engineering Science, left us at the end of December 1979 to become Professor and Head of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the Royal Military College of Science. He came to the Hall in 1976 and quickly established himself as a friendly and forceful member of the Senior Common Room. We wish him and his family well in the very different context of military science and discipline.

Robert Venables, our senior Fellow in Jurisprudence, also departed for a different task at the end of Trinity Term 1980. He came to the Hall in 1975 joining Jeffrey Hackney to run the very flourishing and successful law school. When Mr. Hackney left us to become a Fellow of Wadham, Robert Venables took for a while the whole weight of running his large school and building up a powerful cadre of weekend teachers from his legal acquaintance in London. It is that same world of active legal practice which has finally persuaded him, reluctantly, to leave the groves of academe DR. CHRISTOPHER HARRIS,

5

for the noise and tumult of the Bar. He has entered the chambers of Mr. Michael Nolan, Q.C. We shall miss him in our society and in our councils, when he helped us so often and so sharply with legal opinions on our many problems. The undergraduates too will miss the mixture of martinet discipline and friendly ease which he brought to his pupils. Fortunately for us and them he is not severing his ties with the Hall completely for he will continue to leave his busy life at the Bar and rejoin us at weekends to take part in the teaching of law, at which he has proved so successful.

We turn to welcome those who come to replace them.

The College has elected Dr. Basil Konvaritakis, B.Sc., M.Sc., Ph.D., as Official Fellow and Tutor in Engineering Science. Born in Athens, he came to England to complete his schoolboy education at Atlantic College, became a British citizen, and went on to a brilliant career at Manchester University where he took his B.Sc. and M.Sc. There he started his doctoral research which he corn~ pleted at Cambridge as a member of the University teaching staff.

Since 1978 he has been a lecturer in Control Engineering at Bradford University.

The gap left in our law teaching by Mr. Venables' departure has been filled by the election of Adrian Briggs, B.A., B.C.L., as Official Fellow and Tutor in Jurisprudence. Mr. Briggs is an Oxford man, and read Jurisprudence at Hertford College with great distinction. He comes to us from Leeds University where he has been a lecturer in the Department of law .

Our teaching in Physiology has now been strengthened by the election of Dr. Ann Taylor to a Fellowship in Physiology in association with her University lectureship in Physiology. Dr. Taylor was educated at Somerville College and worked at the Radcliffe Infirmary as House Physician and House Surgeon. She has wide experience in teaching and research here in Oxford and in many medical schools in the United States.

The choice of new Claude Jenkins Research Fellows fell this turn to the Sciences and from a very impressive field the Governing Body elected Dr. Andrew Norman Hall and Mr. Andrew William Roscoe. Dr. Hall is a galactic physicist and his research is connected with the origin and propagation of cosmic rays in our galaxy. Mr. Roscoe's field is the mathematical theory of computer ¡ languages.

We also welcome to the company of our lecturers, Dr. Philip Alan Charles, Fellow of St. Hugh's College, as our Lecturer in Physics; Dr. Robert Edwin White - an Aularian and University Lecturer in Soil Science - as our Lecturer in Agriculture; 6

Dr. D. A. Ramsay, who succeeds Dr. Lucas as our Lecturer in Anatomy.

FELLOW EMERITUS with pleasure the election to an Emeritus Fellowship of lain Malcolm Lane Donaldson, formerly Fellow and Tutor in Physiology and now Professor of Applied Zoology at the University of Hull.

WE RECORD

GIFTS TO THE COLLEGE IN THE LAST number of the Magazine we expressed our deep gratitude to the late Dr. Emden for his particular bequests to the Magazine and Directory and for leaving us the residue of his estate. We were unable, at the time of going to press, to say how much this involved, but can now say that this benefaction was in the region of a third of a million pounds, a huge amount for which it is difficult to make adequate acknowledgment.

The Governing body also recorded its thanks to the following who, during the year, made gifts to the Hall: Dr. E. Brockhues who increased the Brockhues Scholarship Fund from £750 to £1000 a year in commemoration of the 9lst anniversary of Dr. Emden's birth.

J. D. Shippen (1962) who gave a gift of money to buy music for the chapel choir.

J. F. A. P'o rter (1919) who left the Hall £375 in his will.

E. H. Nicholson (1937) who left the Hall £100 in his will.

Colonel J. F. Hopkinson (1922) who gave us a handsome fourbranch silver candelabra and a fine 1888 edition of Ruskin's Modern Painters.

B. C. W. Johnson (1919) who left us £100 in his will to buy silver. Two silver spoons have been bought and suitably engraved.

The St. Edmund Hall Association continued its generous aid to Hall activities which has gone on for so many years and which, to date, has amounted to £30,000. This year the Association gave £200 to the Scholarship Fund, £100 to augment the income of the Graham Hamilton Travel Fund, £100 to continue the repair and re-binding of books in the Old Library. By some oversight the Magazine last year failed to acknowledge a gift by the Association of £100 to the Boat Club, and now belatedly but no less warmly, records the thanks of the Boat Club.

PROFESSOR W. HUME-ROTHERY IN THE HILARY term 1980 Council of the University agreed to name the main building of the Department of Metallurgy and Science of Materials after the late Professor William HumeRothery. 'H.-R. ', as he was universally called, was responsible for developing first a distinguished research school and subsequently the teaching of Metallurgy at Oxford. After obtaining a first class degree in Chemistry in 1922 (at Magdalen), he worked for the Ph.D. at the Royal School of Mines in London, returning to Oxford in 1925 to carry out research on 'intermetallic compounds and problems on the borderland of metallography and chemistry'.

He remained in Oxford for the remainder of his !ife, making brilliant original contributions to the science of metals and alloys.

He discovered that certain intermetallic phases of alloys of copper with elements of different valency, such as Zn, Ga, Ge, As etc., occurred at different chemical compositions, but always corresponding to a constant electron to atom ratio for a particular type of phase. He found the same relationship to hold for alloys of other noble metals, i.e. silver and gold, and following his work these phases were called 'electron compounds'. His work also elucidated the factors controlling the limits of solubility of different elements in solid solutions of the noble metals, and this led to the 'Hume-Rothery' rules. He found that when the atomic diameters of two elements of a solid solution differed by more than about 15%, formation of solid solutions by random substitution of the solvent by solute atoms is limited; when this atomic size factor is favourable, the limit of solubility is again determined by electronic factors (i.e. a constant electron to atom ratio).

In this way Hume-Rothery showed that a large amount of empirical data on the stability of phases in different alloy systems could be correlated on the basis of a few principles, and in particular in terms of simple electronic factors, the electron to atom ratios. The work stimulated solid state physicists to develop electron theories of alloys and led to the interpretation of the stability of phases on the basis of the band theory of solids. Hume-Rothery also examined many other alloy systems in addition to those based on the noble metals; his systematic experimental determinations of the phase diagrams of alloy systems were always of the highest quality, and his interpretations in terms of electronic factors often led to clarifications of seemingly unrelated results. His work provided a theoretical basis for metallurgical equilibrium diagrams in general. His outstanding work brought him many honours both in this country and abroad. He was elected to the Royal Society at 8 the age of 38.

Much of H.-R.'s work and that of his research group was carried out in Chemistry Departments, first in the Dyson-Perrin, and later in the Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory. For 23 years he held a Royal Society Warren Fellowship, but in 1955 he was elected to the newly established George Kelly Readership in Metallurgy. In 1956 Metallurgy became an independent Honour School of Natural Science, and in 1957 H.-R. was appointed by special decree to the newly established Isaac Wolfson Chair of Metallurgy and elected to a Fellowship at St. Edmund Hall. The final act of the establishment of Metallurgy in Oxford occurred in 1960, with the opening of the Metallurgy building, which now bears his name. Metallurgy in Oxford had developed essentially from one bench in 1925 to a well equipped independent department; H.-R. had achieved the satisfaction of his ambitions, over 35 years, for the establishment of his subject in Oxford.

H.-R. held a Professorial Fellowship at the Hall, and was made an Honorary Fellow on his retirement in 1966. He took great interest in the affairs of the Hall, and was much concerned with the well-being of the College. Although he was completely deaf, as a result of an illness at the age of 18, this did not prevent him from making incisive contributions at College and other Committee meetings. It is said that there were occasions on which he put his disability to good use, by ignoring arguments not to his liking!

H.-R. was generous and warm-hearted in his interest in his students, and generated both loyalty and affection in his research group and department. His relaxations included fishing and painting, and he excelled at both. He was a remarkable man, and the University's decision to name after him the laboratory which he founded, is a fitting recognition of his outstanding achievements.

BUILDINGS AND WORKS OLDER FELLOWS of the Hall have started to suffer from a recurrent dream. They find themselves walking around, unable to find any scaffolding in the College, unable to hear the clanks and hammerings and whinings and transistor noises of builders at work and play, - a classic wish-fulfilment dream, for, since the 50's something has been in a state of alteration, washing, refacing, demolition, re-building, up-grading, re-roofing etc., Each year we think we have reached a conclusion: each year every end only proves a beginning.

This year has been no exception. One large piece of work on which an interim report was given in the 77-78 Magazine, has been 9

completed - the renovation and up-grading of the Besse Building, which has been in progress since 1977, and which has been much more complex than at first we thought. Structurally the building proved to be a rather frightening problem and at times our experts could not explain how it was standing up at all. Extensive replacements of beams and stonework were necessary. New fire regulations demanded further modifications. All the bathrooms have been renovated and modernised: the top corridor has been narrowed to add width to rooms; the rabbit-warren of Staircase D has been cleared up with an imaginative new staircase plan; all rooms now have washbasins and central heating. Externally, the facade onto the upper Quad. has been washed, some windows altered and much redundant pipework removed. The facade onto the High Street is a more spectacular piece of renovation. New windowframes had to be fitted, unnecessary pipes removed, the whole painted a warm colour described in the colourchart as 'Goose Wing Grey' and finally decorated with two coats of arms, those of Magdalen centrally, flanked by the Hall's arms and the date of our take-over, and by the decorated cypher of Antonin Besse. These were executed in painted cast aluminium by the sculptor, Michael Black. We can now say with confidence and some pride - that the Besse Building rehabilitation has been a most successful operation, all its rooms now being of a high standard, the corridors and staircases clean and spacious, and its exterior, especially on the High, impressive. As evidence of this last, we are delighted to record that our architect, Gilbert Howes, was awarded a certificate by the Oxford Preservation Trust for his work on the frontage.

The other main work, which moved the ever-present scaffolding from the back to the Front Quad., has been that on the Principal's Lodgings and the West Range, above the Old Dining Hall. The Magazine of 1978-9 'ventured to hope that the completion of this elaborate and highly desirable reconstruction will not be unduly delayed'. The Magazine for 1979-80, alas, can only repeat this hope! At the time of going to press we are a long way from completing this complicated job which, once more, has proved more extensive than we thought. When one takes the lid off buildings as old as the Lodgings and the West Range, unnerving things come to light - rotten floors, decaying walls, roof masonry holding up by Providence and a little mortar. What was intended as a re-slating of the West Wing with Stonesfield slates has turned into a major rebuilding of the whole roof structure, carried out under a monstrous second roof of scaffold and polythene. The 10

Lodgings too revealed unexpected collapses and decay, but it seems safe to say that the Principal will be able to move into his new house for the next academic year. The public rooms and main staircase are ready for decoration, and the private rooms above are now taking some sort of shape. It looks as though the Principal's threat to set up camp in the library garden need not be carried out, and that when one aged Fellow dreams again of a scaffold-free Hall, he may awake and find it truth.

NORHAM ST. EDMUND FOR MANY YEARS 'digs' in Oxford have been difficult to find and it has been clear to the Governing Body that the Hall was losing good candidates to colleges which could offer two years or more 'in College'. We are glad to report therefore that the year 1979 - 1980 has seen yet another exciting expansion in our property. An impor{ant site in Norham Gardens, until recently occupied by the theological college known as St. Stephen's House, came on the market. There were some tense negotiations in competition with other (and richer) colleges, but the late Dr. Emden's Will had bequeathed to St. Edmund Hall over £300,000 which could be invested in property, a benefactor who wants to remain anonymous gave a further £200,000, and the Governing Body decided that this put the purchase price of £700,000 within our reach and that the opportunity was too good to miss. Here, at last, was a quantity of commodious accommodation in good order which did not require permission for university use. (An important consideration this, because for many years the City of Oxford has been reluctant to permit changes of use which would reduce the amount of private residential accommodation in Oxford .) The balance of the purchase price and the cost of alterations and furnishings will of course, have to be found, and we are launching yet another appeal to Aularians in the knowledge that they will, as in the past, want to support this latest adventure in keeping St. Edmund Hall in its place as one of the great colleges of Oxford University.

The buildings and their gardens are less than a mile from the College and a couple of hundred yards from the College's sports fields in the University Parks. They consist of three very large late Victorian 'North Oxford' Houses, two (nos. 17 & 19 Norham Gardens) linked by a ten-year old block of study bedrooms, and one (no. 26) having a new range of custom-built maisonettes for married graduates. By a happy coincidence of taste the linking II

block was designed by Gilbert Howes, R.I.B.A., the architect who has done so much attractive work for St. Edmund Hall over the past fifteen years. Norham St. Edmund, as we have called this development (a name approved by both junior and senior members), will give us, when a few conversions are completed, 50 undergraduate rooms, 12 graduate rooms and the 9 maisonettes mentioned above, along with an apartment for a resident fellow and another apartment for a resident caretaker /warden. This means that we shall now be able to guarantee to all undergraduates accommodation in college property for at least two years with an option of a third year for some.

There is a dining room and kitchen, and a large and handsome common room; we hope that in cooperation with Lady Margaret Hall we shall be able to erect squash courts on part of the adjoining site; and the lawns will be splendid for croquet! Nevertheless, we have no intention of creating a second college: the life and centre of St. Edmund Hall will be where it has always been.

THE FIRST YEAR OF S.E.H. WOMEN: A WOMAN'S VIEW of the first women to S.E.H. was a smooth and almost painless procedure - everyone in Hall taking it very much in their stride. From the start the women proved their academic worth by winning two scholarships (in Geography) and exhibitions (in English, Chemistry, Law, P.P.E., Philosophy and Modern Languages and Fine Art). However they also showed themselves willing to participate fully in Hall life; two first year women, Kate Bulgin and Genevieve Warwick, were co-opted onto the Hall Ball Committee, with Genevieve taking an important .and successful role in organising Minor Entertainments. The newly formed Midnight Raidings, aimed at providing late-night nourishment for famished Hall persons was organised almost entirely by Hallwomen, and the Christian Union, always an active society in Hall, acquired a new image with the presence of several very dedicated women.

Elected positions were well contested this year with Genevieve Warwick becoming the first Hall woman to be elected to two positions: OUSU Representative and Mr/ Mrs Obnoxious, in which she raised a valuable sum for charity.

Hall sport was also infiltrated; Maureen Wilks was awarded a half-blue in Cricket, the S.E.H. hockey team became one of the few mixed teams in the University and the Women's VIII made their presence felt throughout the year, reaching the semi-final in

Christ Church Regatta and narrowly m1ssmg their blades in Torpids, when they achieved five bumps, delayed from further success by an unlucky start on the second day.

The transition was not quite without problems; the state of the laundry, for instance, disgusted many of the women and the primitive conditions for drying clothes caused most of them to retire to their rooms. Some of them also felt a little as if their every action was under scrutiny, but, these aside, most of them were impressed by the friendly atmosphere in Hall, spiced by only a certain amount of Male Chauvinism, and thoroughly enjoyed their first year.

B.M.W. THE AULARIAN A NEW FEATURE in Hall life this year has been the appearance of an in-house newsletter or broadsheet, The Aularian: The Newspaper of St. Edmund Hall, Oxford. The first number hit the pigeon-holes on November 3rd, 1979 followed by another at the end of the month: Hilary Term again had two numbers, but, with the pressure of Schools and other activities and attractions, we had to be happy with a single bumper issue in Trinity.

The Aularian is produced entirely by the members of the Junior Common Room and is free to all members of College. One who knows how difficult it is to assemble material for and edit one Magazine a year can only wond~r at the energy and enthusiasm which has gone into the production of these newspapers, and congratulate those responsible. The tone and the accuracy of its reporting may have varied betweeri the statesmanlike solemnity of The Times and the gossipy vulgarity of The Mirror - without the attractions of the old Page 3 (although the Trinity Term issue, in a rather blurred way, tried to make good this deficiency) - but it has always been worth reading.

Some idea of its scope may be gathered from a selection of its headlines:

Women at Last!

Meet the new Principal.

A Yank in Oxford.

New Block Blocks J .C.R. Discipline in S.E.H. Dispute over Club Funds.

Nice one, Ieuan!

Norham St. Edmund ... Sell out!

13

All this, with cartoons, sports reports, J.C.R. news, gossip, letters to the Editor and Matron's Broken hearts Column, and not excluding serious informative contributions on Christianity and Socialism, Oxford-Borstal camps, Nightline and so on, provides an accurate voice for the undergraduate life of the Hall, catching its loyalty, enthusiasm and high spirits, its serious concern for many things both in and out of Hall, and its undeniable periodic brashness, and some might even say oafishness.

This solemn old-stager The St. Edmund Hall Magazine sends greetings and congratulations to the newcomer at the close of its first successful year.

THE 1980 HALL BALL THE HALL BALL again proved to be one of the great Oxford and

Aularian social events of the year. A contract falling through at the last minute led to the tickets going on sale before the main attraction was known, and it is a tribute to the reputation and success of previous Balls, that the demand for tickets - restricted in these first days to members of the Hall - was heavy and steady.

When, after an anxious wait for the news, it could be announced that Elvis Costello would be playing, ticket sales soared, and we were sold out in four days.

The Ball was held on Midsummer's Night in the middle of a summer notorious for its mixed and uncertain weather - the one thing the Ball Committee can't arrange - but the rain held off for almost exactly the period of the Ball. Once more, floodlights transformed the quadrangles and gardens, and in great marquees the Hall Chef and his staff served a splendid cold collation, augmented this year by barbecued Angus steaks and hot potatoes.

Mr. Costello played to an enraptured audience, and other music of every kind and volume was provided by the J.A.L.N. Band, Cygnus and, adding a bit of local flavour, The Dance, in which a Hallman played. Reggae, jazz, ballroom oldies, Mr. Olleson's Viennese orchestra catered for every taste; candy floss stalls, crepe shops and kebab counters suited every palate.

The minor entertainments excelled in both quality and variety.

Giant blow-up wrestlers battled in the Front Quad., fire-eaters swallowed, Punch and Judy murdered the baby time after time, a casino offered many the opportunity to win back their ticket money - and some did - while all-night films gave many a chance to rest their feet and ears. At the end, after Breakfast and the breakfast-time photograph, madrigal singers serenaded the 14

exhausted guests as they punted away in the dawn from Magdalen bridge.

My heartfelt thanks go to my Committee; to my security men who kept us safe. and undisturbed by the many marauders on the loose that night; to the Principal, Graham Midgley, Nick Stone and the other Fellows and last, but certainly not least, the staff of the Hall.

MARK ASHTON, Chairman.

The Magazine extends its congratulations on behalf of the Hall to these Aularians.

B.

TRAVEL GRANTS THE FOLLOWING received grants of ÂŁ50 each from the Graham Hamilton Travel Fund, the income of which had once again been supplemented by a generous gift from the St. Edmund Hall Association. Some applications were rejected because, while outlining very pleasant holidays, they did not appear to involve any 'initiative, endurance and enterprise'.

N. Bamber: for voluntary services in Finland.

D. J. Corps: to take part in a University expedition to carry out marine survey of wrecks around the Scilly Isles.

C. Lee: to take part in a University expedition to carry out fauna! survey of the Scilly Isles.

I. Maidment and M. C. McDermott: climbing in Scotland.

P. Thompson: to take part in a University ornithologicalgeological expedition to Iceland.

A grant of ÂŁ20 was also made from the Cochrane Bequest to M. R. Broughton, to enable him to attend a Convention Charismatique in France.

THE CHAPEL THE CHAPLAIN was away on sabbatical leave during Michaelmas and Hilary Terms and during his absence Fr. Edward Morris of St. Stephen's House was acting Chaplain. Fr. Morris is an old friend of the Hall, having held the fort here before during a previous Chaplain's well-earned leave, and so he happily kept the Chapel in decent and comely ways. In his two visits he has become a popular figure with both Junior and Senior common rooms and we would like to record our warm thanks to him. Fr. Midgley returned in the summer, refreshed like a rather ageing lion after slumber.

The worship of Chapel has followed last year's pattern with the evening services fairly equally divided between Evensongs and Sung Eucharists. The Advent Carol Service saw the Chapel packed almost to suffocation and the Passiontide Carol Service at the end of Hilary Term drew a large congregation. Over 60 people took part in the St. Edmund's Day procession to the crypt of St. Peters, and their uninhibited performance of 'For all the Saints' left the Godless and the apathetics in no doubt that a Christian community was alive and well and living in the Hall. In Trinity Term, the Eucharist on weekday Saints Days was celebrated in the Crypt of St. Peters. The preachers this year have included the Revd.

Professor Maurice Wiles, Father Roderick Strange of the Roman Catholic Chaplaincy, the Revd. Robert Kee of St. Ebbe's, the Revd. Christopher Brown, Chief County Probation Officer for Oxfordshire, the Ven. R. H. Roberts, Chaplain of the Fleet, the Revd. Peter Cornwell, Vicar of the University Church.

The Chapel wardens during the Michaelmas Term were Chris.

Brown-Humes and Nick Edwards. Nick soldiered on until the end of the year with a new partner Brian Rothwell, who will be the link-man into next year. We thank them for their constant and punctual help week by week. Our organist Philip Rossiter leaves us at the end of this year and every chapel-goer would want me to thank him very sincerely for the tremendous amount of hard work he has put in for the music of the chapel, in recruiting, training, and disciplining a really good choir through three years, for providing an anthem without fail every evensong, and for agreeing with the Chaplain on choice of hymns almost without violent disagreements. The choir which he has trained disperses for the most part as this year ends. They have been a splendid group of men and women, giving their time to rehearsal and attendance, and making a very joyful noise to the Lord. My only regret is that the new organ arrived too late for them to sing to, but we will 16

make sure that Philip Rossiter will be recalled to show off its capabilities and his own skill as an organist when all is ready.

THE NEW ORGAN Magazine gave some account of the new organ which had been ordered for the Chapel, and we can now report that the organ has been installed and comes up to all our expectations.

Visually, we think, it fits perfectly into the architecture and scale of the Chapel. The mouldings of the towers repeat the moulding of the ceiling, and the builders have achieved a beautiful match between the wood of the organ case and that of the panelling.

There is still work to do in the repairing of the damaged cornice and possibly adding moulding around the base of the organ to fit it more fluently into the line of the panelling. We hope that old members will be as pleased as we are when they study the photograph.

Musically, every comment so far has been enthusiastic, but in next year's Magazine we hope to give a fuller account of the musical world's reception of what is undoubtedly a most interesting and important small organ of a unique design.

THE LONDON DINNER Association's London Dinner was held at Simpson's in the Strand on Tuesday 8 January. Roast beef was on the menu for a chan ge this year, and there were nearly 100 Aularians present to enjoy it.

In his speech the President, Jack Lee, welcomed the Association's guests: Sir Ieuan Maddock, Dr. Kelly, Martin Spector (the President of the JCR) and Miss Boak (the Principal's Secretary). H e also thanked the Association's officers especially the secretary, Arthur Radley, and the treasurer, Brian Forrest - for their help and support during the year.

Replying, Sir Ieuan Maddock referred to his first term at the Hall as a time of transition. The College not only had a new Principal, but had also had its first intake of female undergraduates. In addition, it had just bought St. Stephen's House which should ultimate ly provide accommodation for some seventy students. As for his own accommodation, since the arrival of the builders this was more like an archaeological dig than a Principal's lodgings. Despite these domestic problems he had found his first term at the Hall very enjoyable. He could well understand now the privilege a nd good fortune of all those who had been at the College in the past, and his own especial privilege at being its new Principal.

The following attended the Dinner in addition to the Guests: 1924 J.B. Allan; 1927 B. M. Forrest; 1929 Sir D. Wright; 1930 Sir C. Hayes; 1931 J.E. Mowll, R. J. Vaughan; 1932 D. Floyd, A.

THE ST. EDMUND HALL

THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 1980 of the St. Edmund Hall Association was held at Simpson's-in-the-Stram!, London, W .C.2, on Tuesday 8 January 1980 at 6.25 p.m.

Jack Lee, M.A., C.l.P.M., presiding.

THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETIN G

28 members were present. Apologies were received from inter alias: D. J. Day, M. G. M. Groves, J. R. Paul, G. H. L. R. Shield, J. R. Smith, G. W . Stephens, R. Waye, and R. A. G. White.

21

The death of the Rt. Rev. Gordon Fallows, Bishop of Sheffield, was announced with deep regret.

The President welcomed the new Principal, Sir Ieuan Maddock, C.B., O . B.E., F.R.S., on his first and technically earliest possible attendance at this meeting, although he had graced us with his presence at the last year's London Dinner.

I. MINUTES The Minutes of the last Meeting held on 9 January 1979 were taken as read (copies being available and an abstract having been published in the 1978-79 Magazine), confirmed and signed. There were no matters arising.

2.

PRESIDENT'S REPORT

a) Our first Lady Guest

The President announced with great pleasure that Mary Boak, Secretary to the past and new Principals, had accepted the Association's invitation to be present as our guest at the ensuing Dinner: she would be our first lady to attend - a tower of strength - and would set a precedent worthy of an increasingly long line to follow now that ladies had been admitted as full members of the Hall. b) Tributes

He thanked the Hon . Secretary, H. A. F. Radley, for his contribution over the last year, commended the Hon. Treasurer, B. M. Forrest, as an excellent forecaster of monies, and congratulated J . D. Shortridge on organising yet another London Dinner, regrettably his last as he had expressed the intention to retire from this onerous but rewarding job after six successive occasions and a successor was urgently now sought.

3.

HON. TREASURER'S REPORT

a) Last Financial Year, I August 1978-31July1979

B. M. Forrest spoke to the Audited Accounts, copies of which were distributed. (i) Income and Expenditure

Income: at £1,950, £175 down on the previous year, but £16 up if unforseeable items - the Emden Presentation Fund and the failure of Ernie to come up again - were disregarded.

Expenditure: at £2,486, £828 up, mainly again on unforseeable items such as Presentations to the retiring Principal and the New Library.

Deficit: £896, a net £613 disregarding the above items, compared with a forecast of £605. (ii) Balance Sheet .

Assets were correspondingly down at £3,620 (£3,500 invested, £120 in Bank) : the General Fund stood at £1, 770 (£896 down) but the Directory Fund was £350 up at £1,850 after this allocation. b) Current Financial Year, I August 1979 - 31 July 1980

As the result of raising subscriptions from £1.50 to £2.00 as from Michaelmas Term, 1979, a surplus of £470 (income £2,581, expenditure £2,111) was forecast on all items except those chargeable to the Directory Fund.

It was proposed, seconded, and agreed that the Audited Accounts for the financial year I August 1978 - 31 July 1979 be adopted. They will be published in full in the 1979-80 Magazine. c) Dr. A. B. Emden Bequest

The Hon. Treasurer announced a bequest of £2,000 'to the Principal, Fellows and Scholars of St. Edmund Hall to form a fund for the use of the St. Edmund Hall 22

Association with particular reference to and primarily for the maintenance of the Hall Magazine and the Directory and the Aularian series of books' (the last entry refers to certain works published by Aularians qualifying for a production subsidy under certain royalty provisions). The Hall was required to set up a fund and to invest the capital, the interest (say ÂŁ200 p.a.) being either payable annually to the Association or added to the capital, at the Association's discretion. The Executive Committee felt it right to recommend to the AGM to devote the entire interest for the current year, if acceptable to the Hall authorities, to expanding the present Magazine, sorely hit of late by the pressing need for economies, with a view to re-creating its past glories; this was unanimously agreed.

4. DIRECTORY The AGM held on 10 January 1979 had agreed (Minute 2) to discuss at this current Meeting whether or not to recommend publishing a complete new issue in 1980. The Executive Committee had discussed this matter in great detail at its Meeting held immediately prior to this AGM, and recommended to the AGM that the Hall be invited to publish in Autumn 1980 on the lines of the 1974 edition but adding abbreviated honours etc. after the names, to include all academic degrees. The position would be kept under annual review, with the intention of re-publishing every five years at least, possibly with intermediate amendment sheets. The cost could be reduced substantially if commercial advertising were incorporated: the Directory Fund was adequate for this issue, and there would be no call on the Emden Bequest on this occasion.

The Meeting agreed to accept this recommendation.

5. HALL REUNION DINNER AND GARDEN PARTY 1981 Although no change would be made in 1980, when the date was fixed for the Dinner only on Saturday 28 June, the Hall authorities were in some dilemma over the date thereafter, since the traditional Association date in the week after the end of Trinity Term might then conflict with the Hall Ball should it be decided to delay this by a week so as not to interfere with examinations. The situation was being watched carefully, and an announcement would be made in good time.

6. ELECTIONS The following were unanimously re-elected on the nomination of the Executive Committee, no other nominations having been received: Hon. Treasurer 1980: B. M. Forrest Hon. Secretary 1980: H. A. F. Radley Members of the Executive Committee by matriculation groups retiring by rotation: Up to 1934 R. Waye 1935-1944 D. G. C. Salt D. J. Derx 1945-1954 1955-1964 I. R. K. Rae 1965-1974 J . D. Shortridge 7.

HON. AUDITOR

J. R. Paul was proposed, seconded, and unanimously re-appointed with acclaim as Hon. Auditor 1980.

8. AEDIFICETUR AULA! The present site of the Hall offers no further opportunity for expansion, and the acquisition of the Queen's College New Quad, however desirable, logically, and 23

historically appropriate, is felt to be a Lost Cause - for the next century or so at least. The current re-building of the West Wing will forseeably not be complete until the summer.

It was therefore with breathtaking pleasure that the Meeting heard the Principal announce that the Hall authorities had acquired the freehold of an entirely new project - St. Stephen's House, a redundant theological college situate in Norham Gardens, only five minute's ride by bicycle, and a notable Victorian Gothic pile neatly filling a gap in the Hall's architectural range. It will increase the in-Hall accommodation by 58 bed-sitters with additional flats/flatlets and enable all lst and 3rd year students to live in, along with a quarter of those in their 2nd year. Half the cost would be met out of existing resources, but - wait for it - an Appeal for a sizeable sum in six figures would still be necessary.

9. DATE OF NEXT MEETING Tuesday, 13 January, 1981, Simpson's-in-the-Strand, at 6.15 p.m.

There being no further business, the meeting closed at 6.49 p.m.

Yardley**. ** Emeritus Fellow * Fellow *** Honorary Fellow In his first speech on this occasion, the Principal admitted that in a life of frightening moments this seemed the most frightening for him, coming for the first time before such an august assembly and following two such men as A. B. Emden and John Kelly . He acknowledged how much the friendship and advice of the former Principal had helped him in this first year, and also paid a warm tribute to the Presidents of the Junior and Middle Common Rooms who had supported and co-operated with him in an invaluable way.

It had in many ways been a difficult year for a man whose background, as he had once told the Fellows, was neither grey stone nor Red Brick, but corrugated iron! He had had to learn a whole new mystique and way of life, even a new language - of Cuppers, Collections, Torpids a nd Bumps - in which misunderstandings were easy, and often improper!

It became clear, however, that the Principal had learned enough of the lore and the language to give a neat review of the year's activities, both academic and sporting, which are reported on at greater length elsewhere in the Magazine. Finally he turned to the building and alterations still going on in Hall - especially his as yet uninhabitable Lodgings - and then to the new acquisition of St. Stephen's House, re-named Norham St. Edmund . As he outlined the financial position, a growing murmur in the Hall showed that the old members, well-versed in these affairs, had anticipated his announcement of a new Appeal for ÂŁ300,000 to close the gap between cost and available cash. All old members, and not only those at the dinner, would be receiving news of this, and the Principal closed by commending it to us, asking for our generous and willing support.

Jack Lee, President . of the S.E.H. Association, flushed with wine and enthusiasm, heartily echoed the Principal's appeal, and assured him that he was now no longer a stranger, but a most welcome and accepted member of our Society.

Calls from the floor and the Principal's encouragement brought John Kelly to his feet to make a typical speech full of feeling and fine rhetoric, but the content of which is difficult to recall . The essential message was that we Old Members, like the buildings of Oxford, represented many ages and were, like them, in various stages of decay.

One last word. Is it not time that those arranging these dinners should ensure that, if the seating plan goes deep into our Hall, notorious for its bad speech acoustics, the public address system be put into use? It would help to avoid strained throats and frustrated ears.

CLUBS AND SOCIETIES THE BOAT CLUB MEAD Vice-Captain: I. COLEMAN Secretary: M. CAMERON IN MICHAELMAS BEGAN the enormou.s task of teaching complete novices the rudiments of rowing, coaching them and selecting them into crews for the Christ Church Regatta in sixth week. With Boat Club Captain Jerry Mead involved in University trials, which were to lead to his coxing Oxford in the Varsity Boat Race, Ian Coleman directed novice training and picking of an A, B, C, and D VIII for the Christmas races, while Gordon Wattles took on an office hitherto undrearrit of at the Hall - Captain of Women's boats. Novice A were particularly successful, losing only to the eventual winners after several impressive victories, while the women reached the semi-final of their section . The senior VIII , although almost a scratch crew, beat a strong Osler House crew and only lost in their semi-finals to Keble who went on to take the senior VIIl's title.

After Christmas the Boat Club found it difficult to settle in to pre-torpids training, but as the bumps approached had put in some rigorous outings. Gaps in the women's VIII had been filled and an outstanding novice Philip Roseberg had been promoted to the first VIII after final-year pressures had forced Mark Rogers to withdraw from the crew. It was lack of fitness however, which told in Torpids.

A shaky New College crew had the stamina to stay clear of them, while University and Jesus both pressed their attacks home as the Hall VIII tired halfway through the course. Technique and aggression, however, were not lacking, as was shown in a revenge bump on Jesus on the last day. The 2nd VIII, after two courageous bumps on the first two days, were cruelly punished by a jammed seat on their last row to sink two places overall. The women drew on previously unknown courage and commitment to go up three places, but the limelight must go to the Hilarians VIII; schoolsmen who demolished all opposition to gain eight bumps - a College record - and the University's most successful Torpids crew.

In Summer eights the Hall was faced with the task of holding the position of 2nd on the river, which had been reached by a succession of experienced and distinguished crews in the past three years. The lack of former school or University squad oarsmen in College made this a formidable task, as Keble, in 3rd place after being bumped by the Hall's vintage 1979 crew, boasted two blues, a lightweight and a youth international. Even after a shaky start, the lst VIII hung on until 0 . U .B.C. which was more resistance than most observers had thought possible. The cruellest blow, however, was on Thursday when, after an aggressive start which had closed the distance on Keble, an oar sprang loose from its gate and Christ Church picked up an undeserved bump. Thereafter, Balliol never posed a serious threat, but Thursday's blow to morale had dimmed chances of revenge on Christ Church. The second VIII fell likewise on the first two days, when nerves at the start contributed to their undoing. On Friday and Saturday, however, fitness and concentration showed in two confident row-overs. The third VIII, benefiting from some expert coaching from Ian McEwan, were safe on all but one occasion, when they were caught by blade-winning Keble Ill, but the schools VIII found themselves overplaced, and vulnerable to strong challenges from some well-drilled second and third crews. In all, Eights had not been successful for the Hall, but this was due rather to a lack of experienced oarsmen in the College, than to any lack of effort and commitment from all those involved.

In 7th week, however, three Hallmen ~ Foster, Wattles and Isis triallist David Hope, were selected for the University 'Cherwell' crew to row at Henley and Simon Dyke-Wells was elected Captain for next year.

G.W. THE RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB Captains: League, N. c. TUCKER; Cuppers, A. J. HAXBY Secretary: R. J. DURRANS THIS SEASON SAW the restoration of the Hall to Rugby Supremacy in the University.

The League side made a good start to the season under the energetic and thoughtful guidance of Nigel Tucker. A strong intake of freshmen with a few old heads made for a strong nucleus around which to build a side. They suffered their only defeat at the hands of Queen's by 4-3, a match where the Captain's shoulder injury was to eliminate him from the rest of the season. J. Moreland and M. Ashton proved more than capable replacements and under the inspired guidance of the latter the side defeated Keble 19-0 in the final match of the term to clinch the title.

Several friendlies were also played, notably against Imperial College whom we defeated 28-0 and Selwyn, with the Cambridge trip providing the usual excess of hilarity despite a defeat.

For the Cuppers team all augured well. No less than six of the Greyhounds side that defeated Cambridge LX Club by 33-7 were available and also the Blue, Simon Halliday. In the first round we defeated Corpus Christi 32-0 in appalling conditions and made hard work of it. Few tipsters gave us much hope in the latter stages. However the quarter final against Queen's provided ample revenge for the earlier league defeat and the 44-3 scoreline silenced any critics, although we knew we could perform better.

The Semi-final draw pitted us against our old rivals Keble, and the match proved every bit as tough as expected. At half-time we trailed by 9-0, until the Hall pack achieved the domination required and Pennock then rounded off a fine handling movement with a try which Lundie converted. Another penalty levelled the scores; Lundie clinched the match in the dying minutes with an enormous penalty goal from the half-way line, winning us a place in the final v. Univ.

Led by the 'White Hunter' Blues Captain, Mallet and with further Blues in at 2nd row, hooker and centre, they were a daunting prospect. The Hall were under immense pressure in the first half and turned round with a 7-0 deficit. A new team emerged at half-time it seemed, and the pack won ball in all departments of the game and the backs ran aggressively. Univ. had to crack and Halliday scored a fine try by the posts busting through from 30 yards. Lundie improved.

Minutes later pressure led to a line-out on the Univ. line and Good stole the ball and crossed from the back of the line to score. Lundie again obliged with the conversion. Despite Univ .'s final rally the Hall defended stoutly to win 12-7.

The 2nd XV again entered Cuppers and were unlucky to lose 24-3 to Balliol; the scoreline is an unfair reflection of the match, but Balliol scored three quick tries towards the end, despite a brave and committed effort by the Hall.

The whole year has been characterised by a fine team effort both on and off the field, and the Cuppers XV are very grateful for all those who helped in training and for the support of what seemed like the whole College at Iffley Road.

Congratulations to I. Durrans for election as Greyhounds Captain, and to P. Brett, P. Baker, M. Gargan for their Greyhound Caps.

THE HILARIANS Secretary: R. KEELEY Captain: N. P. HOWARD THE HILARIANS HA VE had another successful year, impressing Oxford with a unique brand of sparkling rugby. The Fourth Division title was convincingly retained with a 100% record. We had the proud boast of having our line crossed only once, and that try was scored by Corpus Christi First XV. With two Hockey Blues, three Greyhounds and a strong Law contingent in the pack, the club remained impressively invincible. M. S. Simmie was our illustrious guest at the Annual Dinner in December.

After a warm-up game against Balliol Beer XV, the highlight of Hilary Term was a thrilling battle of guile and skill against the Old Hilarians. They included the likes of Tony Bucknall and Robin Challis and, with referee Joe McPartlin in generous mood, they managed to defeat us 46-14 in front of a large crowd. With over 50 players of varying ability having participated this season, it is hoped that the club will survive in some guise next year.

R.K. THE ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL CLUB Captain: A. WILLIS WE HAD ANOTHER sound season. The 3rd XI won their league with ease, but were unlucky, as were the 4th XI to fail in the first round of Cuppers. On the other hand, the 2nds produced an outstanding Cuppers run, to follow their promotion only to lose 3-2 in the final. The lst XI finished 4th in the league, but, handicapped by an absence of University players, had to fight hard to qualify for the quarter finals of Cuppers, where we lost 4-3. Had we won we felt sure we would have made the semi-final. However, some vestige of respectability was retained by victory in the inter-varsity 5-a-side competition at Crystal Palace.

Thanks must go particularly to the departing schools men for their fine examples. Let's hope that commitment will continue to carry us through our somewhat lean period of talent.

A.W. THE CRICKET CLUB Captain: D. ANSLEY Secretary: M. HARRISON THE SEASON SA w the usual mixture of the talented and the merely keen taking to the Cricket field. Generally the side acquitted themselves well with notable wins against Merton, St. Johns and the Aularians, and well fought draws against Wadham, Stoics and Clare College, Cambridge. The Hall only lost three times but one of their defeats was in the most important match against Keble in the first round of Cuppers. Although the scores were tied we lost more wickets and so were defeated by the narrowest of margins.

M.H. THE HOCKEY CLUB Captain: M. HARRISON Secretary: S. BUBB THE MICHAELMAS TERM was marred by an early exit in the 2nd round from Cuppers when we were beaten by Trinity. The club, however, restored its pride by gaining promotion to the lst Division after notable large wins against St. Catz.

(7-1), Oriel (7-0) and Magdalen (5-1).

I would like to give hearty thanks to the many players who turned out, sometimes at very short notice, throughout the season.

S.B. 41

THE ATHLETICS CLUB Captain: J. McCABE THIS HAS BEEN a first class season for the club, as we not only won the intercollege league (introduced this year) but Cuppers as well. As ever it was the Hall spirit, with the chaps giving everything on the day, which saw us home. Balliol, despite their mass team training sessions, only came within 20 points of us. It is also good to see that there has been no drop in the number of Hall men rt:presenting the University.

John Moreland, full Blue, in the Discus .

Tony Best, full Blue, in the Javelin .

John McCabe, full Blue, in the 400.

Andy Beardmore, half Blue, in the High Jump.

Pete Baker, half Blue, in the 100 relay.

Ian Coleman, half Blue, in the Hammer.

George Gilbert, Centipedes Team, in the 400 .

Sandy Lundie, Centipedes Team, in the 400 Hurdles .

Paul Meadows, Centipedes Team, in the Pole Vault.

I hope all three half Blues win their events next year and get awarded full Blues.

Finally, congratulations to Andy Beardmore on his appointment as Junior Treasurer of the University Athletics Club and to Tony Best on being chosen as our Captain. Unquestionably the Best man for the job.

J.McC .

THE SQUASH CLUB Captain: L. D. PAGE Secretary: c. BROWN-HUMES THIS SEASON'S RESULTS failed to fulfil the initial promise of a powerful team. The first V was denied the League Championship by a timely reorganisation of the leagues at Christmas and was knocked out of Cuppers by the eventual winners, Osler House, but stands poised to win both competitions next year. Congratulations are extended to Ian Hardy, who is to Captain the Blues next year, after leading a successful Squirrel side against Cambridge.

C .B-H. THE TENNIS CLUB Captain: R. DURRANS

RESU LTS: Cuppers lst round beat Brasenose 6-3 2nd round beat Merton 5-0 Quarter final lost to Oriel 5-3

League beat Worcester 5-4 lost St. Johns 4-5 beat Wadham 7-0 beat Wolfson 5-3 beat Exeter w.o. beat Lincoln w.o. drew Queens This has been another successful season for St. Edmund Hall Tennis both in League and Cuppers. In the League we only lost once when we put out a weakened side against St. John's. Unfortunately owing to the weather and the inadequacy of the other teams three matches were cancelled. We now have the possibility of promotion into the first division.

42

After convincing victories in the first two rounds of Cuppers, against Brasenose and Merton, our high hopes of advancing further were dispelled due to the unavoidable absence of Bill Hollington, our No. 3 player, when we met Oriel in the quarter-final. The chance we missed was highlighted when Oriel went on to reach the final.

Thanks must go to all who played this season especially to Nick Simmonds who played in every match.

With the possibility of two more good players for next year our prospects look good.

R.D. THE BADMINTON CLUB Captain: L. FOLDS THIS YEAR'S BADMINTON season has suffered (oh, how I have suffered) from the hole left in the team by the departure of three Blues players. However we struggled on and only just lost to Keble, the eventual league leaders. Both our teams are similar in standard owing to the similarity in players and both avoided relegation by some brilliant play and some skullduggery.

Cuppers was a small disaster when we lost to Keble in the first round, but only by one game. This was a very good performance, all things considered and I would like to thank my 'super stars' Paul Short, Paul Ridd and AJ for turning up now and then.

L.F. THE CROSS-COUNTRY CLUB Captain: J. McCABE THIS HAS NOT been a good season for the club - although we came 4th in the college league - for two reasons; first, for the Hall not to win is always disappointing, particularly as we showed we were capable of it by our victory in the Christmas Handicap; secondly, the way the first year intake reacted to the idea of Cross-Country was disastrous and the regular runners this year were only from the 2nd and 3rd years. In fact if it hadn't been for Dave Muckersie and John Round, goodness knows where we would have been.

I can only say that as these two staunch Hall men are leaving, as well as lain Maidment (our highest points scorer) and I am teaching in Bremen, I wish Pete Tindall the very best of luck as Captain next year.

J.McC. THE SWIMMING & WATER POLO CLUBS

Captain: c. G. s. ELEY A WIN BY the narrowest of possible margins in this year's Cuppers compensated for last year's poor showing. Much of the credit must go to A. Willis for some fine swimming in the individual medley (2nd) and backstroke (3rd) events. D. Watson also swam well in the breaststroke to finish 3rd in a very close race.

Captain, C. Eley, won the final of the butterfly spring and with second place in both relay events the Hall team won overall by a single point. Had not Willis slipped at the start of his freestyle heat, and so failed to reach the final of that event, the margin of victory would have been much greater. A. Willis and C. Eley were awarded a half Blue and a Blue respectively for competing for 0.U.S.C. against Cambridge.

The Water Polo team also won Cuppers, retaining the title won last year. The opposition was much tougher on this occasion but the Hall team won each of the preliminary round matches with ease. The final against Balliol, however, did not start well with two early goals being conceded, but goals from guest player Allen (L.H.M.) and Eley levelled the score at half time. Eley scored again and then, when two Balliol players were dismissed for ungentlemanly conduct, completed his hat-trick to put the outcome of the match beyond doubt.

C.G.S.E.

THE TABLE TENNIS CLUB Captain: R. COLLINS IN OUR TABLE-TENNIS matches this year we did not quite manage to emulate the heroic feats of last year, but we had some enjoyable games - and even won a few. Our greatest successes were in Cuppers in which we reached the quarterfinals. My thanks to all who played.

R.C. THE DARTS CLUB Captain: I. COLEMAN THE DARTS CAMPAIGN this year has been quite disastrous, with the team winning only one of its matches (versus Brasenose). The top few boards were usually evenly contested but the bottom half of the team did not develop any real consistency, and Board 8 counts just as much as Board I! There is however an encouraging nucleus of first year players who can pull the team back to the first division once more next season, if practice is continued.

We lost in the first round of Cuppers to St. Johns 7-5, after being in the lead until the closing stages. In the individual and doubles competitions our representatives have progressed well, reaching the 3rd round without mishap at the time of writing.

I. Coleman was selected to play in the Varsity match which Oxford comfortably won.

I.C. THE CROQUET CLUB Captain: s. J. HOBSON Secretary: M. A. HOLFORD OWING MAINLY TO the lack of a suitable lawn for practising the two cuppers teams had an unsuccessful season, being defeated by Worcester and Exeter in the first round. There is some hope, however, that next year may see the provision of a lawn which would give an opportunity to consolidate our knowledge of tactics and technique and allow many more members of the Hall to indulge in a hitherto undiscovered game.

Congratulations go to the Captain on gaining his half blue with the winning side in the Varsity Match at Hurlingham.

M.A.H. THE CHESS CLUB Captain: E. WILSON THIS YEAR SAW a revival in the Chess Club. The team of E. Wilson, J. Spratt, I. Coleman and P. Short won all six of their league matches in the Third Division, the highlight being a 4-0 victory against a strong Balliol team.

In Cuppers we beat First Division Magdalen before losing to Merton. With no chess players leaving this year we can look forward to continued success next year.

E.W. 44

THE JOHN OLDHAM SOCIETY President: G. ADAMS THIS YEAR'S ACTIVITIES have been very encouraging. Our Cuppers entry in Michaelmas was a smooth and intelligent production. This was followed by the immensely successful 'The Homecoming'. We provided funds, personnel and experience. Robert Pay directed with feeling and intelligence and, it is to be hoped, will return to the field. Pete Burrell lighted and helped rig the show with clumsy help from myself, and is now in great demand from all over Oxford. Tim Donovan was an active and eager producer even if the hatstand did lose a leg.

Nigel Williams and Mark Harandon acted professionally and with concentration and are still to be seen treading the occasional board.

At the end of Hilary a large production of 'Macbeth' was planned. Events, money, people and the prospect of three other productions inside two terms conspired to kill the monster. I here admit it was too ambitious anyway.

Ahead? With details to be finalised, we are helping a version of 'Frankenstein' to go to the Edinburgh Festival and the coming year looks to see the likes of Strindberg and others to be calling on our funds .

Before I end, a point about our funds . We receive money from Amalgamated Clubs which we 'audition' for at the beginning of each term. We are unique (except perhaps for the Music Club) in being asked to return the outlay. Not only does the present system not allow our society to audition plays (the impetus must always come from inside ourselves) but it places an extra strain on any production. If a play is successful money is refunded and we are usually allowed the benefit of the profit to build up our non-existent assets. What this means is that good Oxford drama is free, while bad Oxford drama costs money. I acknowledge the specialist needs of sports clubs for equipment, but if we had a fixed sum available then we could divide our activities between investing in other plays (making money) and producing our own (spending it).

So after all the business a big thank you to all who came to the meetings, aided productions and gave Simon Heilbron, Robert Pay and myself throughout the year advice and support. Next year sees a new president, and I wish him/ her luck, money and success.

Finally thank you to all who came to our plays, even if we did reach the stage where you all looked like ÂŁ1 notes.

Long live John Oldham.

THE HEARNE SOCIETY President: L. D. PAGE Secretary: R. TAYLOR THE SOCIETY CONTINUED its revival this year with well-attended meetings addressed by Denis Mack-Smith, who cast some light on the character of Mussolini, Dr. C. Haigh, who proffered a fresh perspective on Post-Reformation Catholicism, and Derek Hirt, who questioned the importance of the 1620s'.

Dr. Jeremy Catto entertained the Annual Dinner with an amusing speech, rekindling the spirit of Thomas Hearne. Perhaps the society should now become an underground movement as was suggested.

R.T. 45

THE MUSIC SOCIETY Joint Presidents: PHILIP ROSSITER & STEPHEN FLOOD Secretary: LEIGH LAWSON Treasurer: MILES HOLFORD UNFORTUNATELY, OWING TO a lack of enthusiasm, this year has been comparatively inactive as far as organising concerts within College has been concerned. A concert was planned for Hilary Term, but it proved impossible to find a sufficient number of players for it.

However, a successful play trip was arranged at the end of Michaelmas Term, and a concert trip at the end of Hilary. In addition, the annual dinner was held in Michaelmas in the Hearne Room.

In February, an augmented Chapel Choir visited Tewkesbury Abbey, which proved to be an enjoyable and successful venture.

P.R.

THE CHRISTIAN UNION Representatives: p. BAKER, s. COULSON International Representative: L. RAABE Treasurer: B. ROTHWELL LOOKING BACK OVER the year, it is very noticeable how the number of our group has greatly increased, and how more importantly, our fellowship has deepened.

The visit of Billy Graham to Oxford in Hilary Term was a highlight of the year and very successful, as a number of people in the College consequently joined our group. The C.U. has organised a number of meetings over the year, all of which have maintained the keen interest of the group as well as attracting new people. A particular encouragement for us was when Tim Saunders moved on from being rep. to greater things as he was appointed President of the 0.1.C.C. U. Another high spot of the year was when the C. U. was able to take the chapel service, which included the use of guitars. There was a testimony and the sermon was given by a member of the C. U. We are grateful to the chapel for that opportunity, and also to all the members of the group, who have helped to make this a very good and rewarding year.

S.H .C .

THE ART COMMITTEE President: s. c. FLOOD Secretary: M. A. HOLFORD INCREASED INTEREST WAS shown in the staging of two exhibitions in the Party Room. The first provided an opportunity for members of the College to view the paintings normally kept in the S.C.R., together with a selection of other works from the collection , The second consisted of prints and oils by Andy Curtis, a second year man reading Fine Arts and a member of the Committee. More exhibitions are planned for the future.

Three works were bought in the course of the year. 'The Pass' by Marc Winer depicts two rugby players in Hall colours, and should prove a popular addition to the collection. The other acquisitions were 'Rocks in Water' an effective combination of etching and aquatint by Anna Brevik, and 'A Study of Vines' a colourful watercolour by Anthony Gross.

Thanks are due to friends who helped the committee organise the exhibitions and the distribution of pictures.

JOHN METHUEN DINING SOCIETY President: T. E. 0. BURY THE 22ND ANNUAL MEETING of the society was held on the 2lst May in the Cantina di Capri, at which the excellence and quantity of the 'cuisine' reached new heights as also did the price! Twenty-two members were present, with Mr. R. Venables representing the SCR in classical fashion, and Mark Ashton being elected next year's President. On June 22nd the society was allowed back into College, follow. ing its year-long enforced exile in Vincents.

T.E.O.B .

THE ORONHYATEKHA DINING SOCIETY President: A. LUNDIE A VERY ENJOYABLE dinner was held in College during the Michaelmas Term . The Principal came as guest, having his first introduction to the 'warriors' of the College. Speeches from the President and the Principal were well received.

Mr. Elliot was chosen to lead the tribe into the 1980's.

A.L.

THE COSMOGRAPHERS SOCIETY President: SIMON B. MARCHANT Treasurer: CHARLES J. BLOUNT Secretary: DAVE Cox AFTER A NUMBER OF YEARS spent floundering in the 'arid regions' of academic myopia the Cosmographers Society was refounded this year and has found a suitable niche in the temperate, if not temperant, zone of profound discourse upon matters of geographical interest.

Pre-prandial Sherry was served to all Cosmographers on the first Sunday of Michaelmas, at which Freshers were initiated into the celebrated and singular ethos of Hall geographical research. This was followed by a highly successful Cocktail Party during Hilary, which enabled Cosmographers to pursue the path of intercourse with the cream of geographers from other, albeit inferior, Colleges; the gathering including both erudite Dons and redoubtable undergraduates - the noted and the notorious if you like.

A similar event took place during Trinity, at which the Society was honoured to entertain the new Principal , although the President's lamentable ignorance of all things meteorological meant that the 'seminar' had to be conducted in the Old Dining Hall, rather than the congenial and apt surroundings of the Graveyard.

It is hoped that such pursuit of the study of 'Social Geography' will continue and that the Hall Cosmographers will never cease to dispute E. C. Bentley's well known claim that 'Geography is about maps, but only Biography is about chaps'.

NEW DEGREES: M.Sc. Last year's Magazine reported on the Statute introducing the new degrees of Master of Letters and Master of Philosophy and on the manner of redesignating the old B.Litt and B.Phil. degrees. In March 1980 a further Statute established the degree of Master of Science, M .Sc., in place of the old B.Sc. The Statute provides that any person who already holds the degree of B.Sc. may apply to the Registrar through his or her college for the redesignation of his or her degree to M.Sc .. 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.Sc., but have not yet proceeded to the degree, will be presented for and receive the M .Sc. degree.
