October 1981 EDITORIAL

EVERY EDITOR likes to know that his productions are read, and the many appreciative letters from Aularians all over the world show that this is so. The letters demanding corrections and addenda show, too, that it is carefully read. It was even suggested 'that the advent of the fair sex has turned Editorial heads.' Never. Though we accept the same correspondent's next observation 'that the knowledgeable Dr. Kelly would have spotted the error if he were still in your chair'. We shall use this Editorial as a general apology to all those misrepresented or misreported in the last issue, and as a place for corigenda and addenda.

CHARLES FRANCIS WILLIAM ROWLEY GULLICK records with sorrow the death of Charles Francis William Rowley Gullick, Emeritus Fellow of the Hall, who will be remembered affectionately by generations of Aularians simply as Rowley Gullick. He died on 16 August, aged 73, at his home in the Isle of Man, after some years of illness which he had borne bravely and with cheerful resilience.

He was of West country stock, of which he was always proud,

but spent most of his life, except when he could escape to his house in Somerset, in Oxford. After going to school at St. Edward's, Oxford, he spent a year in France, a country in whose geography he later became a specialist. Entering the Queen's College in 1926, he read Modern History and the Diploma in Geography (there was no Honour School then) winning the Herbertson Prize. He obtained the B.Litt degree for research in the geography of Cornwall.

After a period on the staff of Bedford School (an experience he was later to value as a don) he was in 1932 recalled to Oxford to become a lecturer in the newly established Honour School of Geography. For almost 20 years his only college connections were lectureships at Brasenose and St. Edmund Hall, but in 1950 he was elected a Fellow of the Hall.

Next year he became Senior Tutor, and as such played a key role on the governing body and in admissions. Meanwhile he had been promoted senior university lecturer, and was for many years an influential member, and twice chairman of the Geography Board.

On several occasions he served as acting professor.

He was primarily an economic geographer, and his main scholarly contribution to his subject was in this field, in his Economic Geography, in collaboration with J. McFarlane, his Oxford Economic Atlas for India and Ceylon, and in his substantial contributions to and editorial supervision of many Oxford atlases, including the communications section of the great Oxford Atlas of Britain, in 1963.

But his most valuable, to him most satisfying, work was as a college tutor. His concern and affection for his pupils and for the undergraduates of the Hall generally, was remarkable. The college's sporting life, in particular, was close to his heart. He himself had been a successful sportsman, playing hockey for five years for Cornwall and for the University as an Occasional. He was a very fine long-jumper, and enjoyed recalling that he was the only Queen's man of his day to score at hockey, soccer and rugby for first teams. Small wonder that he was one of those responsible for the Hall's astonishing run of athletic successes in the 1950's and 1960's. The kindness and hospitality he and his wife showed to undergraduates and former students was legendary, and hundreds of Aularians have happy memories of parties in Hall or at 7a Crick Road, and of Etta Gullick's powerful but deceptively mild-tasting punch.

Rowley Gullick was a wealthy man who refused to live in anything but a modest and ordinary way, but his wealth had other outlets. He was generous in the help he gave, always anonymously, 3

to needy young men, and his business flair and experience in investment matters was a great help to his college. In 1970, (when he had officially retired) he proved a successful acting bursar.

A practical man, he avoided abstract speculation, and approached the big and little problems in life in a sanely empirical spirit; a realist, he had no use for pretentiousness. Among the things he found most fascinating were foreign travel, motor-cars and railways. His room was adorned with photographs of engines and back numbers of railway magazines. The name-plate of the old Western Region engine 'St. Edmund Hall', obtained through his efforts and generosity, is fixed to one wall of the J. C.R., a memorial he would fully approve of, and to the end of his life he was telling his grandson Step hen of the wonder of the great railway age.

He resigned his tutorial Fellowship in 1969 in order to engage in research, and the college elected him to a Research Fellowship. He retired from this in 1974, and was made an Emeritus Fellow.

Meanwhile he had settled in the Isle of Man. He was happy and contented there, cultivating his garden gently, and making visits to the Hall, which, for his old colleagues, were far too infrequent. It was at his island home, with all his family with him, that he died from a heart attack.

His wife Etta, who is a lay-reader of the Church of England, conducted the funeral service at Rowley's express request, his son Charles read his favourite Psalm 91 and Dylan Thomas's 'Death shall have no dominion'. The Hall was represented by the VicePrincipal, Reggie Alton, the Senior Fellow, Richard Fargher, and the Steward, Mr. Percy James. The Geography Faculty was represented by Miss Marjorie Sweeting. The address was given by Rowley's lifelong friend John Kelly, who was at Queen's with him, and with Dr. Kelly's permission we are printing this last tribute of one great Aularian to another.

"The key-note of this service is deliberately thanksgiving. While we are of course very sad - all of us, but most deeply those who are closest to him - that Rowley has gone from us, our principal thought at this moment is of gratitude for a man whom it was our privilege to know, admire, and love.

Completely unostentatious, Rowley was remarkable in several ways. As a university lecturer he made a distinctive contribution which will be acknowledged when the history of early studies in geography at Oxford and Cambridge comes to be written. In a relatively new faculty of able, vigorous, but not infrequently neurotic personalities he exerted a stabilizing influence which gave 4

reassurance. As a Fellow of St. Edmund Hall he was a key-figure at the critical epoch when it was emerging from its aularian chrysalis into the full-fledged maturity of a college. It was not just that he was an experienced senior tutor, a pragmatically successful admissions tutor, a don who could take temporary charge of the bursary as convincingly as he lectured, gave tutorials, or stood in as acting professor. At that delicate juncture he revealed a sagacity and a sureness of instinct which made it imperative to seek, and more often than not to follow, his advice on small matters just as much as the greatest. This wisdom, this ability and readiness to give sensible counsel honestly, continued throughout his life to be one of his most precious assets .

A word must be said about Rowley's achievement as a tutor. He never claimed to be a great original scholar, but he knew his subject exceptionally well, and no one ever had a shrewder understanding of the young men and young women he taught, no one could better assess how much they could assimilate or how they could be persuaded to think as geographers for themselves. As a result he not only succeeded in getting the best out of them, but ended up by winning their lasting respect and affection. There must be many hundreds who, as the news of his death spreads around, will inwardly give thanks for their exacting, stimulating, dearly loved teacher.

A field in which Rowley excelled was personal relations with people of every conceivable type, but he did it in a way which was all his own. There are many who maintain good relations by playing down, or even concealing, their own convictions, but Rowley was not like that. On the contrary, he had firm views of his own, and was forthright to the point of obstinacy in expressing them.

He did not expect those who differed to take offence, any more than he took offence when they pronounced opinions the opposite of his own. As a result, he had a host of friends who knew they could trust him implicitly.

No impression of Rowley would be complete without a mention of two of his distinctive traits. One was his sense of humour, his very peculiar, often completely unexpected perception of the funny side of things which he conveyed infectiously to his friends.

The other was that sharpness - that acerbity, as we used to call it amusedly - by which most of us have at one time or another been disconcerted, but which I suspect we usually decided was salutary.

Rowley was as aware as anyone of the conventional forms; he valued them for their contribution to the smoothness and decency of life. But he was impatient of shams and pomposities, whether in 5

small things like social pretences or big thinks like moral or theological pretentiousness. His reaction was to puncture them with an acid word or a wry smile. It was typical of him that he did it in such a way that the victim usually saw the point and was prepared to laugh at himself with him. Rowley was himself the reverse of pretentious; he actively disliked having to take the centre of the stage, and in a most attractive way was self-effacing.

Above all, Rowley was a family man; even a slight acquaintance with him convinced one of the depth and richness of his family feeling. At the basis of his life was a profound religious awareness, a sense of something beyond; my conjecture is that he was sometimes worried that he could not always enclose it in his categories. He was searching for something real, but suspected that many accepted doctrines and practices were bogus. His faith was far from being an orthodox one, but it was genuine and honestly held, and it meant a lot to him.

There is an adjective of mild criticism which was often on Rowley's lips - "unhelpful". When someone was doing, or proposing, or saying, something that seemed certain to lead to trouble, he would murmur, "Not very helpful, is he?" In Rowley we all, in our different relationships to him, had a friend who, unobtrusively and without fuss, was consistently helpful. May he rest in the peace he deserves.'

WILLIAM GEORGE URRY died on 18 February 1981 at Canterbury, where he was born on 17 December 1913, a city which, with Oxford, had been the love of a life he described as 'a tale of two cities'.

The son of George Urry, he was educated at Kent College, Canterbury, where a loathing for games and an ability to escape from them on bicycle trips to ancient sites started his antiquarian interests. He left school for London, working as an assistant in London University Library, and studying at Birkbeck College for his bachelor's degree in History. The war interrupted his scholarly advance and for six years, as a lieutenant in the Royal Artillery, he served at home and in India.

He returned to Canterbury in 1946, as Keeper of MSS. in the Cathedral Library and, from 1951, custodian of the Borough Archives, extending and organizing the achives, lecturing, assisting visiting scholars, working for his Ph.D. from London, and publishing his Canterbury under the ¡Angevin Kings in 1967.

WILLIAM GEORGE URRY

Elected F.S.A. in 1955 and F.R.Hist.S. in 1958, he was Visiting Fellow of All Souls in 1968, and in 1969 came to Oxford as Reader in Medieval Western Palaeography and Fellow of St. Edmund Hall. Here, until his death, he was loved and respected by senior and junior members alike. As Dean of Degrees, he presented with splendid dignity and beautiful Latin. On Governing Body he fought against whatever he considered Philistinism, and nothing ancient or of reverence failed to find its eloquent champion in him.

He had old-world good-manners, a whimsical humour, a fund of anecdotes, and an ability to make all conversational roads end in Canterbury or in cats, for which he had a lifelong passionate love.

He also had tremendous courage and the strength of a deep Christian faith in his battle against recurrent serious illness in the last twenty years of his life.

He leaves a son and a daughter and his wife Katie who, from their marriage in 1947 had been, as he loved to say, 'per laeta, per ardua, comes indefessa'.

His funeral service was held in Canterbury Cathedral on February 26, 1981. A representative party of Fellows attended, and the Chaplain read the prayers. The following term, on 1 May, a Memorial Service was held in the University Church, attended by a very large congregation. The Principal and Vice-Principal read the lessons, the Chaplain took the prayers and the college choir sang the Russian contakion for the dead. The address was given by Henry Mayr-Harting of St. Peter's College. We would have liked to print this fine address in its entirety, but space forbids, and we have to be content with these extracts: 'Canterbury was central to his whole life's work as an historian .

Besides his published magnum opus, Canterbury under the Angevin Kings, he has left two completed books in manuscript, The Mar/owes of Canterbury and a book on Thomas Becket.

Much love and an unrivalled local knowledge have been poured into both books on subjects where local knowledge is greatly needed ... . William was the one man who had, so to speak, the complete file on every minor actor in the drama, who knew all the Kentishmen who had made hay while the sun shone and the archibishop had been in exile impeded from looking after his own, who understood every little grievance which the locals had against Becket, who had even spotted which houses the archbishop's enemies conveniently (for their activities of 29 December 1170) had in the town. Where others have done fine work on the broad setting of the Becket conflict, he has seized the opportunity to tell a story for which the local element is fundamental.'

'When William became Reader in Palaeography he was elected to a Fellowship at St. Edmund Hall. He loved his college and would stand in the lodge lost in rapt and admiring contemplation of it. How different from those who stalk through their lodges, under the impression that it is they who grace their colleges! Here, although a professorial fellow, he was well known to, and knew, the undergraduates; he attended the college chapel regularly; and his eminently courteous personality formed one of the principal recollections which many a guest carried away from its common roorri. Apart from the fact that William found the college a friendly and historic one, with its Canterbury connections, he was glad to think himself following in the tradition of its antiquary of earlier times, Thomas Hearne. He had indeed Hearne's accurate and meticulous scholarship, Hearne's way of seizing on morsels of antiquity with a voracious appetite, Hearne's love of miscellaneous appendices, and some of Hearne's caustic wit. He would cite Hearne unexpectedly at disconcerting turns, as when the college kitchen failed to produce pancakes on Shrove Tuesday.

What he lacked was Hearne's malice. He had far too much inner peace and assurance for that. He was not averse to an attacking move, in print or viva voce, but one may say of him as Adam Smith wrote of Hume, that it was never the meaning of his raillery to mortify.

The picture of William standing in admiration of his college and his good fortune to be a Fellow of it not only tells us something about St. Edmund Hall and about himself generally, but I believe it also holds the clue to his extra-ordinary power as a teacher, which is testified on all sides. Partly, of course, this power was due to his incomparable flow of words. The members of the History Faculty Office remember the veritable fusillade of words which he fired into the room when the bullet holes made by Cromwell's soldiers in two medieval painted panels at Canterbury were filled in, which offended his notions of what ought to be preserved as historic. But partly this power was due to the fact that he never lost his sense of wonder. One of the most moving sermons preached at St. Edmund Hall in the past decade was his on the smallness of human time, or time scales, in which he recounted how he had been gazing at the records under his care at Canterbury, reflecting on how a mere two yards of shelf space covered so many centuries.

Surely this sense of wonder, this streak of naivete without which no one can be truly human, lay behind his gift to convey enthusiasm for the human details of History. This sall}e sense of wonder is captured by a friend who once saw him staring with rapt 8

attention at a highly polished traction engine at the St. Giles Fair.'

'The Book of Proverbs sees Wisdom engaged as if in play, with the children of men for His playfellows. Never was there a more obvious instance than William Urry of a playfellow of Wisdom passing from this life to the next, with, it may be added, the confident faith of a believing and practising Christian. His bodily remains lie now in the cloister of Canterbury Cathedral, close to the staircase leading up to the Library. Many scholars and visitors will have passed that place during the twenty three years when he was cathedral librarian and archivist, quite unaware of the unusual gusts of wit and learning, warmth and generosity, which were to blow on them a few moments later.'

LETTERS FROM STEPHEN PENTON LAST AUTUMN we were given the chance to see, and have photographed, nineteen letters written between 1677 and 1704 by Stephen Penton (Principal of the Hall from 1676-1684) to Thomas Wood of Littleton, Middlesex. The letters, which were among some three hundred written to, or by members of the Wood family, have been in the possession of Thomas Wood and his descendants, and were lent to us by Mrs. Cecilia Harrison of Norfolk, and Miss Elizabeth Wood of Oxford, to both of whom we are greatly indebted for this unique opportunity to learn more about the Principal who was responsible for the building of the chapel and the library.

Step hen Penton, at New College, and Thomas Wood, at Wadham, both matriculated in 1659, and although after going down from Oxford there was a gap of some fourteen or fifteen years before renewing their friendship, Penton's initial letter, with its affectionate reminiscences, shows a strong attachement:

Oxon. St. Edmunds Hall. May.17 .1677 De are Mr Wood It is a very Long time since you saw this hand last. But Mr Dingley of New Colledge hath Assured mee that You have not yett quite forgotten the Person, but made an Affectionate mention of your old Acquaytance in his Company. The Newse of this must needs bee infinitely obleiging to a man who once I am sure Loved You beyond all Relations in ye World, and I beleeve when hee sees you agayne, will find 9

Reason to doe soe still. I was fearefull that ye Distance and Discontinuance of my Respects togethr with ye Variety of your owne Greate Affayres might have Lessened all Notice of mee, otherwise I had Long ere this been Your Guest. And if in a Line or two by ye Post you will give it under hand and Seale, the Notwithstanding all your Greatness you will give mee Leave to laugh with as much Ease and Freedom in your company as heretofore I could, You will Find yt noe Concerns of mine are Greate Engough to keep mee a Month Longer fro seeing you: And once more talking over agayn all ye Little Passages of our Lives fro ye Ducks uppo ye River att our first meeting to ye Marrowbones att Dr. Harpars att our Parting. I pray God to bless you and all your Relations in wt ever you wish or undertake - who am Dear sr. yr most Affectionate humble servt . St. Penton.

Thomas Wood replies with equal affection (in what is probably a draft of the actual letter sent), writing: ' . . . that you shall be as welcome and free at Littleton as ever you were at Wadham'.

Throughout these letters there are charming details which give glimpses of Stephen Penton's character. That he was ' belov'd by all that knew him' (Thomas Hearne's Collections) is understandable; he was very affectionate, writing an endearing letter, dated May 30, 1689, to Wood, when on the point of making one of his many journeys: My Dearest Mr. Wood I perceive you missed of an Account from mee of your son's Laudable performance on ye CoroJlation day in the Theatre. And I beleev that I was then in so pleasant an Humour that 'tis odds but I wrote Longer and more complimentally than I can afford to do so now, who write ye Letter with one foot in ye Stirrupp, and must bee in the Saddle befor it can bee quite dry. But no Hast in the World can forbidd mee to tell you that your son behaves himself very well and is beloved by every Body. And though my Wayfaring condition permitts mee to bee capable of no other service to him, yett assure your self hee shall never want the well wishes of Dearest ye most Affectionate Stephen Penton. st. Edmunds Hall May.30.1689.

10

Penton's writing, which is mostly a pleasant and uniform italic hand, is sometimes blotted and not so well formed; this may have been occasioned by writing in a hurry as the above letter shows, but could also have been affected by ill health, to which he makes a number of allusions: ' ... the ill look of the Weather amd State, have so sowred the left-side of mee that I am the werst Company in ye World and as Unfit to bee your Guest as an Irish-man.' (Nov. 27 1688); ' ... Ripon where I shall Winter if I can ridd myself of a Pain in my side I have long laboured under.' (April 1694); and 'I came up a great while since to London but being forced to fight wth. an Indisposition (fro a pain in my side) and London being unfitt to take Physick in (which is itself a Disease) I have been many weekes out of it'. (July 13, 1694) Some of the letters refer to Penton's help and advice to Wood's son, Robert, during the negotiations over his, Robert's, becoming a Fellow of All Souls as Founder's Kin. Penton seemed as delighted and relieved as the Wood family themselves, at the success of this venture, and congratulates 'Mr. Robert with his Conquest (as I must needs call his Fellowshipp)', and admitted that he had had a 'Feare of miscarrying in so difficult an Undertaking', (Aug. 21, 1695).

But it is his genuine delight in his friendship with the Wood family, and in the freedom they gave him from worldly affairs, which runs all through these letters; he writes to Thomas Wood: ' ... for of all Places in the world I guess I could bee most Easy att your House, where a man hath leave to Love and bee Beloved in his own way, where Courtesy is not starch'd and stiffened with Formality, and a man is not forc'd to go to Dancing Schoole a month befor he Enters the threshold.' And in the same letter: ' ...

I will never rest till I know every child my Dearest friend hath and how many of your Good Qualities you have sent abroad into this Wicked World, to mend it.' (Sept. 19, 1689). A few months later he wrote the following letter, which must surely have gone straight to Thomas Wood's heart: This Morning the Good natur' d peece of you which you call a Son, Knowing how acceptable it would bee to mee to bee thought of at Littleton, gave mee ye Complement of your Service. and I took it (as I ought to doe) for an Hint broad enough, to testify the Pleasure I take in writing (to my Dearest), by Fastening on any the Least Occasion whatsoever.

And now (mee thincks) I could even Cry and Rayle att the 11

Sun Moon and Starrs for this wicked Winter that Hindred mee fro wadeing toward Staynes or enjoying ye Delight yr Son and I promised our Selves in being Idle together now and then in the Frosty Weather. I am very glad to hear that none of you are Drown'd, and yt the Floud this Season did not bring out the monsters (calld Irishmen) as the last did; my Duty to yr most excellent Lady, and well wishes of Happiness to all yt call you Father and bee sure not to thinck it of Course only yt I write yre. most Affectionate Stephen Penton.

St. Edmund's Hall Febr. 27. 89 [1690] It is with many thanks to Mrs Harrison and Miss Wood that we now have photographs of these delightful letters for the college archives, also transcripts of the letters and biographical material on Stephen Penton, which fills a hitherto sad gap in our knowledge of this seventeenth-century Principal, so important in the history of St. Edmund Hall.

Sasha W-M.

GIFTS TO THE COLLEGE records its thanks to the following who, during the year, made gifts to the Hall:

THE GOVERNING BODY

Professor Harold Brooks who made a benefaction of ÂŁ250, to be known as the Brooks-Johnson Bequest, to maintain the John Oldham collection of books and papers already presented to the College by Professor Brooks, and to purchase books for the Library on drama or more general literary topics.

P. J. Collins (Fellow) for a silver miniature candle-snuffer for the Senior Common Room.

D. J. R. Green for a set of colour slides of the East Window of the Chapel.

The Nineveh Charitable Trust which, through the kind services of Professor T. E. James, paid the full amount of over a thousand pounds for the repair of the early seventeenth century tapestry in the Principal's Lodgings.

Mrs. Angela Widdicombe, for a panel of stained glass made by her father, an~ bearing the college coat of arms.

12

The St Edmund Hall Association for continuing its generous aid to so many Hall activities. Once again 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.

BUILDING AND WORKS has come true. There is not one rod or clamp or plank of scaffolding to be found in the Hall, and the noise of the rude mechanick rout is silenced.

On the morning of January 30, as we were remembering Charles King and Martyr on a very different scaffold, the first sounds of the dismembering spanners were heard. Firstly the great polythene roof went, revealing the beautiful new stretch of Stonesfield slates and the reconstructed dormers on the Old Dining Hall wing, and then slowly the scaffolding in the Front Quad and in Queens Lane started to come down, revealing two facades which we had almost forgotten. The Front Quad seemed suddenly twice as big, and the Queen's Lane view more beautiful than one had remembered. We can, therefore, report, as we hoped last year, that this complicated restoration of the roof of the west wing, and the alterations to the Lodgings are at last complete. We are very pleased to report that our architect Gilbert Howes received yet again a Certificate from the Oxford Preservation Trust for this work, 'executed with great skill and concern for the character of the building'. The citation went on to add that 'In doing the right things in the right places this restoration makes a positive contribution to the character of Queen's Lane'.

At the moment all is quiet and no work is in progress. The builders huts in the Library garden, which had become what seemed a permanent settlement, have gone arid the grass is growing well to cover all their traces.

THE DREAM

GARDEN NEWS has never carried a regular gardening article, although special events such as the demise of the great wisteria and the felling of the first Robinia pseudacacia were chronicled, and the present Editor can remember Emdenian paragraphs with such titles as 'Of Tomatoes'. But trees and planting are parts of the growth and history of the Hall, and we have thought it might be of interest to present Aularians who have not visited recently, and THE MAGAZINE

13

future Aularians who may sit beneath the spreading shade of our little saplings, to have such an account.

The great and beautiful elm in the north-east corner of the Library Garden died from the dreaded disease, despite every effort and regular injections. In the spring of 1980 we thought we had won through another year, when the elm put out new leaves, and then suddenly they withered and the tree was dead. After it was felled we planted a horn beam in that corner, and the tree has taken to its new site after a slow start. This summer it looks green and lusty, and one day will form as splendid a termination to the East terrace as did its predecessor. Further -planting, to the north of the library includes a blue gum tree and a tree of heaven.

In the Front Quadrangle we have been preparing for the future by planting new Robinias. The ¡ present beautiful tree was an Emden-planted seedling, all ready to take over when the old tree had to be felled. We must have ours ready when the fate of all growing but dying things overtakes our present tree, and visitors will see the young heir-apparent to the East of the large tree, outside the Bursary window.

The Back Quadrangle will be another pleasant surprise for old AU'tarians who have not visited for some years, and who remember only the 'Slums' and the minute grass plot and pear-tree wall of the old days. When the Kelly Building and Whitehall were completed and together with the restored Staircase VIII formed a new Quadrangle, the Garden Committee siezed the opportunity for an experiment. A raised garden was created, filled with imported acid soil, and planted with rhododendrons, azalias and heathers, all plants which refuse to prosper in the lime-soil of Oxford. The experiment has proved a success. A special rain-collecting tank incorporated in Whitehall's roof drainage enables the gardener to water with soft water, and the garden provides us with a splendid bed of colour in the middle of Trinity Term, when most of the rest of the garden, freshly bedded out, will not be displaying until after term. This year a silver birch has been planted there, which is prospering and has already reached a height of about 18 feet. It will form a good centrepiece for this small area, without being too heavy and shadow-casting.

With the acquisition of Norham St. Edmund we inherited the once famous garden of Gunfield, created by the Deneke family and well known in its day. We found it an overgrown jungle of brambles, sycamore seedlings and weeds, although it was still possible to see something of the garden's shape through the tangle.

We have only just found time to start on the daunting task of 14

restoring this garden at least to order if not to its former shape, for the former shape was dug over during the war and the days of 'Dig for Victory'. We shall try, although our gardening staff is small and hard-worked, to bring something out of the chaos and provide a worthy setting for the Gothic fantasy of Gunfield itself. Progress at the time of going to press has been fast, and the transformation already effected is very exciting.

THE LIBRARY of St. Peter in the East was converted into our Library, it was decided at the time not to incorporate the Chancel of the church but to leave it empty, having restored what was damaged there, and cleaned the magnificent Norman stonework.

It has remained that way until this last year.

Since its opening the Library has proved a most popular place for work and in term time there has seldom been a spare seat for readers. Moreover our intake of books is large and steady and more shelf-space was needed wherever it could be found. It was therefore decided in June 1977 to move into the chancel and include it in the full working~space of the library. The then Fellowlibrarian, Christopher Wells, directed the operation and negotiations with the Parish and other interested bodies, and in obtaining the necessary Faculty. Joe Alien of Kenneth Stevens and Partners, who had been the architect of the original conversion, was again asked to be our architect, to complete the fine work he had begun.

Long and careful thought over the design of bookcases and lighting was necessary in such an important part of the building, and preliminary work did not start until July 1980. All was completed and in the middle of Michaelmas Term 1980 readers moved into the new area which adds 20 readers' places to the old 49.

Entry into the Chancel had to be created by the removal of parts of the great glass screen which separates it from St. Edmund's Chapel. The floor, where there are many fine funerary monuments needed protection and the whole area has been carpeted in dark crimson carpet tiles. The bookcases are in light oak to match those in the rest of the Library, and have been carefully designed so that they do not interfere with the sight-lines from the main library to the fine 17th Century ~ast window. Chairs and tables to match those in the rest of the library have been obtained after long and patient searching, and the Hall records gratefully the help of the St. Edmund Hall Association in the purchase of one of the fine but expensive tables. The one difference in detail from the main library WHEN THE CHURCH

is in the lighting, and the choice of this proved the most difficult for the Fellow-librarian, the librarian and the Committee. The final choice was of table lamps, with a plain brass pillar and brown leather shade, throwing light onto the desk, while the Norman arches above with their splendid zig-zag and ' Peter's Chains' carving are lit by unobtrusive spots and now are seen more clearly and beautifully then ever before.

Everyone concerned in this conversion deserves our congratulation especially Chris Wells and the librarian Sacha WernbergM0ller who together inspired and encouraged those concerned in what was an often problematical and tricky task. I hope our readers will also approve as they examine the photograph of the completed work .

THE CHAPEL has been the same and yet different. The same, in that the Sunday evening services have been evenly divided between Evensongs and Sung Eucharists, both popular and with congregations of about 40 loyal chapelgoers. Different, in that the Alternative Services Book appeared at the turn of the year and the wish of the 'parish' expressed at the Chapel Council, was that we should use it for the Eucharistic rites but not for Evensong. For a term we used Rite A and Rite B alternately, with a view to deciding which to make our permanent Rite, but have now decided to continue with this variety of service. We are becoming familiar with both A and B and with all the variety permitted within each Rite.

The strangeness is wearing off, and many an old die-hard admits to discovering that the new language as well as the new shape of things becomes tolerable and even enjoyable when it is 'a thing done' rather than a thing merely read on the page.

We continued to celebrate the weekday Eucharists of Trinity term in the Crypt of St. Peters, as well as St. Peter's Day when a good congregation of members of the Parish attended. The Advent Carol Service and the Passiontide Carol Service again drew a packed congregation and the St Edmund's Day procession, larger than last year, moved to the Crypt from the Chapel undaunted by threatening drops of rain. This year the Principal and Lady Maddock kindly entertained the whole congregation to wine in the Lodgings after the service. The preachers this year have included The Revd. Professor J. McManners, The Revd. John Barton, Mrs. Etta Gullick, The Revd. Edward Morris, the Revd. David Banting, Fr. V. Bywater S.J., and the Revd. R. A. Jupp, besides THE WORSHIP IN CHAPEL

16

the home team of the Chaplain and the Revd. John Cowdrey.

Brian Rothwell and Pete Burrell were chapel wardens for Michaelmas Term, Brian then retiring with our best thanks for a year of loyal and always cheerful service, and our best wishes as he begins his training for the sacred Ministry. Pete Burrell was joined in Hilary Term by our first Lady Warden, the daughter of an Aularian, Christina Tracey, and together they have continued to help, guide and occasionally bully the Chaplain.

The other important event in the year was the arrival of our new organ scholar, Christine Beynon. She very quickly settled into her work and proved a worthy successor to Philip Rossiter. The choir has flourished and grown under her direction. Not only has it kept up the tradition of anthems and congregational leading: some of its members are to be found jogging round Christ Church Meadow before breakfast to improve their breathing and phrasing.

THE ORGAN THE NEW ORGAN in Chapel was dedicated by the Lord Bishop of Oxford during Evensong on 5 November, 1980, and started its first year of active service.

In Hilary Term 1981 Christine Beynon organised a series of lunchtime recitals, Dr. James Dalton, the organist of Queen's College playing the inaugural recital. He has been our adviser throughout the planning and building of the organ and has given his time and expert knowledge most generously. Subsequent recitals were by Christine Beynon herself, former organ scholars Philip Rossiter and Christopher Wilson, and organ scholars from other colleges, Richard Neil and Terry Charlton. During the course of these recitals music by -Bach, Buxtehude, Pachelbel, Teleman, Orlando Gibbons, Sweelinck, Berg and Stanley gave us a chance to hear the range and capabilities of our new instrument.

THE HALL BALL difficult task to chronicle the Hall Ball year after year without falling into the cliches of Jennifer's Social Diary, for all the cliches in our case are true - 'the Ball of the Year', 'a marvellous success', 'such charming people', 'a positive galaxy of attractions', 'and the food . ... '. But so it is.

Once again, in an Oxford where the price of Ball tickets was easily beating the rate of inflation, and where some colleges had to cancel balls because of disastrous sales, the Hall managed to sell all its tickets by the week of the ball, because of its past reputation and because we were obviously the best buy in the summer dance world.

The summer, as last year, had been uncertain and untrustworthy, but this time the weather was as required, clear, a little cool for the elegantly half-dressed ladies, but perfect for the boys, and not a hint of a drop of the rain which had sprinkled so much of Trinity Term.

This year's ball was announced as a 'Concert Ball' and it had its own charm, elegance and ease. The lighting of the old quadrangle and the Library Garden and the back Quadrangle was beautiful: the marquees this year, in white and scarlet, primrose and apricot, with ruched hangings and iron lanterns, were especially charming and, to the eye of a veteran and too- easily jaded ball-goer, the ladies had aspired to a standard of beauty in dress and - that much derided quality - deportment, which delighted him. , There was the usual rich variety of music and entertainment.

The Big Name this year was Joe Jackson and his Jumping Jive, and around his hour the Tribesmen provided Reggae, the Deltas Rockabilly, the Blue WaveR' n' B, Spot the Dog folk music, and around the place could be heard the sounds of the Jim Barber Quartet, Phil Dodds Quartet, the Arcadian Singers, string quartets and classical guitars. When music palled and feet were tired, the casino, the cocktail bar, the open air cinema with its twinkling light-show all offered rest, and magicians, Punch and Judy, tap dancing and even hypnotism provided entertainment.

The Chef and his staff again provided a magnificent supper and cooked hundreds of steaks on a very inadequate barbecue range.

Only the loyalty and perseverance of the Hall staff led by Gabriel could have overcome the initial difficulties and coped with the continuing dangers of the primitive equipment.

As dawn broke, Scottish dancing and steel bands brought the ball to a climax and a Scots piper, like a Pied Piper, led those with IT IS A

19

energy left along the High to where the punts were ready for them.

A most successful event, and congratulations to Mark Earls, the Chairman, and all his Committee for the many weeks of planning and supervising, and to all the staff of the Hall who in so many ways help towards producing these eight hours of hectic pleasure.

THE AULARIAN LAST YEAR we recorded the arrival of this 'Newspaper of St Edmund Hall, Oxford. Free to all members of the College', and gave some idea of the range and quality of its contents.

We are glad to note that this has proved to be no mushroom growth, born this term and dead the next. The current year has seen Volume 2, numbers 1 - 4 appear regularly, perhaps even fuller numbers than last year with the same variety of news, views, interviews and gossip, and each with its crossword full of in-house Aularian clues. We hope this is the second of many successful years. 'The Aularian' is being carefully preserved in the library archives, for in years to come it will surely add a lively addition to the more sober and solemn history of the Hall which this Magazine attempts to be.

FROM THE J .C.R. PRESIDENT RUMOUR HAS IT that when writing a Schools essay one way of catching the eye of the examiners and therefore perhaps to raise a candidate from a 'commiseratory' third to a 'solid' second is to write something interesting in the 1st paragraph .... naughty bits in paragraph seven.

Well I suppose the main change that has happened to the Hall since a J .C.R. President last wrote in this magazine was indicated when one burly 2nd row rugby player was caught in the J.C.R. flicking through the 'problems' pages in 'Cosmopolitan' ... yes, you've guessed it .... girls. As one ex-Head Boy of a well known all-male Public School put it, 'I'd seen them before, I'd read about them before, but I'd never spoken to one'. Also the scaffolding has been taken down from the Front Quad, thus scratching rumours that a very rich American had bought the Hall and was having it systematically transported to Texas.

To change tack completely, I suppose if you were to ask the J.C.R. President of any Oxford College 'was his J.C.R. the best?' (when I say J.C.R. I mean the J.C.R. members themselves) the particular J .C.R. President would probably categorically state (a

20

good phrase) that his is undoubtedly the best and will probably spend the next 2 or 3 hours boring you to death explaining why; however I am the only one who can put his hand on his heart and say it's true.

News from the 1981 Hall's Schoolsman's attempt to conquer the South-West Face of the Norrington Table (without valium) is just beginning to filter through. Camp I was firmly established with the news that 3 out of 5 firsts awarded in Geology were achieved by Hallmen.

Our almost complete domination of University Sport continues; accounts of our many successes will be contained elsewhere in the magazine; suffice to say that next year's Cuppers Rugby Team will probably be playing the all Blacks sometime in early February.

The J.C.R. has become more involved in voluntary work recently; this was high-lighted by the reinstatement of the Christmas party for underprivileged children. Over 100 children attended and the event was marred only by the start of the Hall's first racist riot when one youngster blatantly overturned and looted his neighbour's packet of crisps. Heavy use of water pistols and bribery with lollipops by Junior members kept injuries down to a minimum although one Linguist did receive a very nasty trifle (or was it blancmange?) in the face.

J.C.R. meetings are well attended and discussion is usually interesting and fruitful. Here are some excerpts from some of the more frivolous moments (although I'm not sure they were supposed to be frivolous). 'This J.C.R. condemns all violence' lead to attempts to have a sponsored hitch-hike to San Francisco for Ragweek; having decided that the J .C.R. had better vote for nuclear disarmament of some sort and unable to decide whether it should be multi-lateral or unilateral the J .C.R. in the best Hall tradition decided to vote for both multi-lateral and unilateral nuclear disarmament; when one meeting was asked what the J.C.R. could do to raise money for a Multi-gym, one wit replied 'sell a few players'.

The annual Summer Ball was a great success. The Hall's tradition of obtaining the best main band of all the Oxford Balls continued this year although on the minor entertainment side we were unfortunately forced to turn down the Rolling Stones who were demanding free double tickets for payment instead of the usual single ticket.

Unfortunately space does not permit me to describe all the activities of the J.C.R. in detail and so I will only mention a few more in brief: a J.C.R. shop has opened which sells stationery, 21

coffee etc at reduced prices; late night toasted sandwiches, cups of coffee, tea etc can now be purchased in the J.C.R; Ragweek raised over ÂŁ600 for charity; a Multi-gym has been installed in the annexe at N .S.E .... the list is almost endless.

And so, as the sun goes down over the Emden and Kelly blocks and the last refrains of the 'Dambusters March' (to cries of 'Down in one') float gently from the "Buttery across the quad and land somewhere near Headington I leave you with the old Hall adage 'You know it's good for you'. Never was a word more truly sp.)ken.

Jonathan North J.C.R. President, 1981 J.C.R. AND M.C.R. OFFICERS M. PROCTOR was President of the Junior Common Room during Hilary, Trinity and Michaelmas Terms 1980. When his term of office finished in December 1980, J. P. North was elected President until the end of Michaelmas Term 1981. D. J. Cox served as Steward of the J.C.R. from Trinity Term 1980 until the end of Hilary Term 1981. G. Alcock was elected as his successor for the ensuing three terms. With the resignation of N. Bamber, the last Treasurer, the office was abolished. J.C.R. finances now come under the aegis of the President and the College Committee representative. The new office of Social Secretary has been created, the first holder being M. B. Earls, succeeded by S. Cavalier.

The M.C.R. officers for 1980-81 were J. J. O'Brien, President, and P. K. Rowe, Steward. At the end of Trinity Term 1981, P. G. Skokowski was elected President, and Ms. E. J. Baker, Steward, for the ensuing year. Dr. N. J. Stone, as Acting-Tutor for Graduates, was active throughout the year, and attended - and obviously enjoyed - nearly all the M.C.R. occasions.

THE LONDON DINNER Association's London Dinner was held at Simpson's in the Strand on Tuesday 13 January 1981. One hundred and two Aularians sat down to a Simpson's English dinner of onion soup and their best Saddle of Lamb .

In his last Presidential speech on this occasion, Jack Lee welcomed the guests, the Principal, Dr. Kelly, Jon North the President of the J.C.R ., Justus O'Brien the President of the M.C.R. and his own personal guest of honour Sir Robin Day. He thanked his committee and officers for their help in his term of office, especially his Secretary Arthur Farand Radley and his Treasurer, Brian Forrest.

He then launched into an impassioned and wide-ranging speech on the present state of the nation, embracing unemployment, the shortcomings of Trade Union leaders, the hooliganism on the football terraces, the need for more technological education, the flagging economy and the strong pound, and the need for a basic change in our attitudes. He welcomed his successor in the Presidency, Sir William Neild, and sat down amidst resounding applause .

Replying, the Principal, at his second London dinner, said that he had begun to feel that perhaps the best Principal was a past Principal and he looked forward to being part of the Hall's distinguished history. With such a distinguished audience as he saw before him he felt as he thought Mr. St. John Stevas felt when carpeted

by Mrs Thatcher, or perhaps as Mrs Thatcher felt when interviewed by Robin Day! He nevertheless showed little sign of being intimidated and gave an account of the year's activities in the field and in the Schools, the great acquisition of Norham St. Edmund and warned of the impending appeal. He thanked Jack Lee for his help and friendship over the last two years and finally announced with pleasure that the dates of the Reunion and the Summer Ball ~ those problems on which the success of his Principalship seemed to depend ~ were at last settled.

Three short speeches followed . Sir William Neild spoke a few words: Dr. Kelly spun a web of words on our wicked new year resolutions: Robin Day, in a nostalgic looking back to the golden age of his Oxford days, delighted us with the professional ease and wit of the regular performer.

The following attended the Dinner: 1921 The Rev'd. Selwyn Cox, N. Frangiscatos; 1924 J. B. Allan ; 1927 B. M. Forrest; 1929 Sir D. Wright; 1930 Sir C. Hayes; 1931 The Rev'd . R. J . Vaughan; 1932 A.

1. MINUTES The Minutes of the last Meeting held on 8 January 1980, having been published in the 1979-80 Magazine, were taken as read, confirmed and signed. There were no matters arising.

2. PRESIDENT'S REPORT Jack Lee reminded the meeting that this was his last appearance before it as President. Looking back over the last three years, he felt he had tried to maintain contact with the Hall, the successive Principals, and the other members of the Senior Common Room. He paid tribute to the Hon. Secretary H. A. F. Radley and the Hon. Treasurer B. M. Forrest for their work over the period, during which relationships had been very cordial.

The next Reunion at the Hall would be on Saturday 27 June 1981, the Principal having resolved the problem of the Hall Ball. The Governing Body had graciously decided to continue the triennial holding of the Garden Party that afternoon, this time however at Norham St. Edmund.

The new Hon. Dinner Secretary, F. H. H. Finch, was to be congratulated on upholding the traditions relayed to him through J. D. Shortridge: there were 104 diners this year.

3. ALTERATIONS IN THE CONSTITUTION The President referred to his letter to all members, dated November 1980 and distributed with the 1979-80 Magazine. This gave the background: enquiries made at the Charity Commission had elicited the fact that an application for the granting of Charitable Status to the Association would have a very good chance of success if certain alterations were made to the Constitution. The acquisition of such status would, in the opinion of the Association's Officers, be of real benefit to it, in that it would have discretion to invest money at higher rates of interest than could be commanded at present and be free of any liability to pay income tax or corporation tax. It was also understood that no limitations on the Association's activities or control on the way in which its finances were handled would be imposed other than those specified in the amended Constitution.

Copies of the proposed alterations, incorporated in a document combining them with the text of the latest Constitution (dated May 1975 and adopted by the Annual General Meeting held on 13 January 1976) were before the meeting. They had reached the Hon. Secretary, duly proposed (by B. M. Forrest) and seconded (by Sir Denis Wright), with the 28 days' notice required under para. 9 of that Constitution. To them had been added, with the approval of the Executive Committee meeting immediately before this, a further proposed alteration, namely that in para. 4 the word 'termly' be substituted for 'terminal' on the two occasions in which it appears.

27

Sir Denis Wright then proposed, and Richard Hunt seconded, that the alterations to the latest Constitution (May 1975) as submitted by the Executive Committee and incorporated in the document before the meeting (a copy of which is attached) be accepted . This was agreed, and the Hon . Treasurer was authorised to apply to the Charity Commissioners for Charitable Status for the Association on the basis thereof. It was also agreed that the new Constitution be sent to the Hall for publication in the Directory and the Magazine.

4. HON. TREASURER'S REPORT a) Last Financial Year, 1 August 1979 - 31 July 1980

B. M. Forrest spoke to the audited accounts, which had been published in the 1979-80 Magazine with the note 'These accounts will be submitted for the approval of members at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting on the 13th January 1981'. The Magazine had now caught up with the accounts, a great achievement, and thanks were due to the Hall and especially to the Editor, the Revd. E. G. Midgley. (i) Income and Expenditure Income: at £2,582, £632 up on the previous year, largely owing to the increase in termly subscriptions from £1.50 to £2 from Michaelmas Term 1979.

Expenditure: at £2,248, £598 down. The Magazine was up, but certain nonrecurrent items associated with the Emden Fund and the retirement of Dr. Kelly had ceased.

Surplus: £334, compared with a deficit of £896 last year. With adjustments for variations from forecastable decisions it was the equivalent of £472, i.e. £2 up on his forecast declared at the Meeting held on 8 January 1980. (This error of £2 or 0.4255320Jo was saluted as an improvement on last year's £8 or 1.332314%, but murmurings of 'must do better' were not entirely absent). (ii) Balance Sheet Assets were correspondingly up at £4,254 (£4, 100 invested, £154 in Bank): the General Fund stood at £2,104 (£334 up) and the Directory Fund at £2,150 (£300 up). b) Current Financial Year, 1 August 1980 - 31 July 1981 A surplus on traditional expenditure could be estimated at £294. The Executive Committee had however approved exceptional expenditure on the Directory, to be printed this year at a cost to the Directory Fund of some £2,100, offset by the devoted efforts of R. A. Farrand and J. R. Smith in obtaining some £900 worth of advertisements. The Committee had also approved a contribu'tion of £1,000 to the Norham SL Edmund Appeal.

It was proposed, seconded and agreed that the audited Accounts for the financial year 1 August 1979 - 31 July 1980 be adopted.

5. ELECTIONS President 1981-83: Sir William Nield, G.C.M.G., K.C.B., M.A ., (matric. 1932) was proposed by the President, Jack Lee, who commended him a~ a man of eminence in the Civil Service and Industry. At the Hall he had gained a half-Blue at Lacrosse (a Mancunian peculiarity) and made guest appearances on the Soccer field as a 'dirty wing half'. Despite this, no-one could grace the position of President better: he would bring dignity and honour. Seconded by G. L. H. R. Shield, and elected unanimously.

The following were re-elected unanimously on the nomination of the Executive Committee, no other nominations having been received:-

7.

THE DISTAFF SIDE

The inevitable appearance of women at Reunions, Dinners and A GM's was faced up to manfully: the first time they could present themselves as graduates, however, would be 1983.

8.

BOUQUETS FOR THE OUTGOING PRESIDENT, JACK LEE

Sir Denis Wright, as the outgoing Immediate Past President, said he spoke for the Executive Committee and indeed the whole Association in saluting Jack Lee as an admirable, conscientious and hard-working President. He had been the soul of hospitality to his Officers, and we should all be extremely grateful for the way in which he had so cheerfully carried out his duties. This tribute was endorsed with acclaim. Jack Lee responded that he had absolutely enjoyed it all: it had been a delightful, lovely three years - not a chore at all. If he had in any way made a contribution, it had been a pleasure.

THE REUNION THE ANNUAL REUNION of Old Members was held on Saturday 27th June. At the end of a term of weather varying between the awful and the uncertain, we were fortunate to choose a clear and sunny day, especially fortunate as this year was a Garden Party Year.

This year the scene for the Garden Party was different; not the familiar Library Garden in the Hall, but our new gardens at Norham Saint Edmund which for the first time were trodden by a very large gathering of Aularians, their wives and their children, ranging from babes-in-prams to hopeful Aularians of this year or next. Sandwiches and strawberries were served from the large windows of the Dining Room opening onto the lawn, and old members were able to inspect this new part of our Empire, visit undergraduate rooms, the Junior Common Room and some of the flatlets for married graduates. It seemed ~;enerally agreed that Norham St. Edmund was a splendid and exciting addition ¡o the Hall's property.

Back in Hall, with families safely stowed or sent home, Aularians filled the Chapel for a lustily sung Evensong - the first Reunion evensong with the new organ to add instrumental to our vocal splendour - and after sherry on the lawn, repaired to dinner.

The Principal faced his second such gathering and no longer needed to present himself as a very frightened newcomer. He spoke this year with true Principalian authority and assurance, and presented an account of another successful and eventful year in the Hall's life. On the field we had carried off the Cups in Rugger, Squash, Badminton, Swimming, Athletics, Cross-country, Water Polo and Sailing. Academic results were yet to come, but three Firsts in Geology that very day were a good omen. He then turned to the Appeal and brought us up to

31

date with the response, which was gratifying but needed to go on increasing at the present rate if we were to reach our target.

Sir William Nield was the first-timer on this occasion, but showed no nervousness and settled firmly into his saddle for a long ride. The appeal was his theme, but only as a part of widening Aularian activities, and greater contact between Old Members. He promised to think out in greater detail his ideas for encouraging both the appeal and this activity, and to let us have his proposals in the future.

By this time the company was becoming decidedly restive, but calls from the floor again brought John Kelly surprisingly firmly to his feet, to add another of his inimitable Kellean orations to the collection. This time it had a lot to do with scarves and undervests as necessary protection as he left the northern cold of Crick Road, and the strangely increasing warmth and discarding of clothing as he approached the Hall, afire and heated with the warmth of so many Aularian hearts.

On that note the company dispersed to the lawn and the Buttery to live over old times and retail present doings until the early hours.

There were present at the Dinner, the Principal and the following Fellows: The Revd. Dr. J. N. D. Kelly; Sir Denis Wright (1929); The Vice Principal (1938); The Revd. E. G. Midgley (1941); The Revd.

CLUBS AND SOCIETIES THE BOAT CLUB Captains: S. DYKE-WELLS AND I. McEwAN THIS YEAR has been a mixed one for the boat club. It began with Simon Dyke-Wells as captain and the enforced change of helm in torpids did not help matters. I can only here inadequately record the debt I and the Boat Club owe to Simon and wish him well in the future .

The year begins, of course, with the scramble to teach novices to row in time for Christ-church regatta. Here we met with some moderate successes. Our first men's novice crew, widely considered the best on the river, was unfortunate in being eliminated from the regatta on a technicality after two impressive victories .

The women's novice VIII was eliminated in a very close race with St. Hildas drama was added by Chris Tracey contracting violent cramp so that an ambulance had to be called; fortunately she is fully recovered!! The outstanding success of the regatta was the men's junior VIII which narrowly lost in the final to a Keble crew which also reached the senior VIII 's final. Hugo Nimroy also put up an excellent performance to reach the final of the New College sculls.

Torpids found us with very inexperienced crews . None of the 1st torpid members had rowed at this level before. However all crews trained hard and in the event achieved a standard with which they can be very pleased. The only trouble was steering!! The 3rd torpid hit the bank on the first day, falling to the very bottom of the river, though they followed this with three bumps . The second torpid rowed over, then bumped Oriel, but disaster struck in the strong Friday wind and they also hit the bank to fall two overall. The first torpid rowed over on Wednesday, bumped University on the Thursday and hit Lincoln on the Friday.

Disaster struck on the Saturday when a jammed seat cost u~ the Lincoln bump and left us only inches ahead of a fast Pembroke crew looking for their fourth bump. I put the credit for escaping that bump down purely to the superior fitness of our crew after training on the new 1y acquired multigym.

Our summer eights were just as inexperienced as the torpids had been; only two previous 1st VIII oarsmen were rowing with us. When the event arrived there was the additional strain of a flood stream and changed divisions. For the first time a Hall womans VIII rowed on, but as a result of the stream they did not row until the Friday. The women theh rowed over on both days, though on the Saturday they came within inches of bumping Keble . The fourth men's VIII rowed hard in a division in which they were outclassed, to fall three . The third VIII, stroked by a woman - Bridget Walker, could so easily have rowed over for four days but unfortunately a crabbing disaster brought them within range of BNC II and they fell two places. The second VIII rowed well to compile four row overs at the top of division three. The first VIII rowed over in a vacuum on the first day and suffered an equipment failure on the second to go down to Lincoln. On the Friday, after beating off a strong challenge from Magdalen, we had overlap on Lincoln but did not make contact. On the last day, unfortunately, the Magdalen challenge proved too strong.

It is difficult after all this to portray the year as a successful one for Hall rowing but I believe it has been. At the start of the year we know that, with the oarsmen we had, the college would be pushed to hold its position; in the event I believe we have built a strong base for next year and with continuing hard work we might even start going up again.

46

G. Wattles and I. McEwan were selected to row in the Cherwell VIII at Henley this year. lain Cooke was appointed as the new captain and John Hughes-Clarke as his vice-captain. I wish them the best of luck.

THE RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB Cuppers Captain: I. DURRANS League Captain: M . ASHTON Secretary: R. GRAINGER PRE-SEASON TRAINING was well supported, and there were good prospects for a successful season .

Pre-League prelims. began well with us winning every match until losing to Keble. In the league there was a unique situation of a 3-team tie , and the Hall retained the league Champion title on last year's results . Extra-University fixtures were with R.A.F., Brize Norton; Queen's, Cambridge; Girton, Cambridge ; Selwyn, Cambridge; the University of Cracas, a colourful side from Argentina whose skill was nil; and Leicester 2nds. ¡ The Second team had a successful season, and maintained its position in the 3rd Division . As usual, the Hilarians remained undefeated .

In Hilary Term the Hall kept the Rugger Cup . Enthusiastic suport for training and the return of 12 University players enabled Hall to field two good Cuppers teams. The seconds crashed through the first round and were unlucky to lose 12 - 7 to Christ Church, the eventual runners-up. The First Team moved steadily through to the Final when, with magnificent Hall support, we beat Christ Church 14 - 9. To cap a brilliant season, the Hall took the 7's Tournament by storm, with three Sevens in the field . The 1st team won the tournament , beating a second Hall seven in the Final of 'The Plate' .

An entertaining social-supporting fixture was that of Hilarians V. Auld Aularians, under that ageing but still splendidly vocal referee Joe McPartlin.

There was lively post-match discourse.

Our congratulations must go to our numerous University players, especially the three Blues, Richard Luddington, Martin Gargan and Peter Baker.

R.G. and E .G .M.

THE ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL CLUB Captain: P. MASON THE SEASON started well in Michaelmas term with fine performances from all three teams in the league . The 1st XI finished 4th, the 2nd XI ended the term in 2nd place and the 3rd XI finished 3rd, all three teams being in their respective 1st divisions.

It was, thus, with high hopes that everyone went into Cuppers, but success was to elude us. The 1st XI failed to reach the knockout stages, going out to a last second equalizer against Exeter. The 2nd XI, who were hotly tipped to reach the final, were knocked out by New College 2nd's while the 3rd XI exited the competition at the hands of Brasenose 2nd's.

Congratulations go to Lloyd Illingworth, who played regularly for the Centaurs, and Bernard Bewlay, who was selected for the Centaurs at the end of the season.

P .M.

THE CRICKET CLUB Secretary: T. P . SANDS Captain: R. P. QUAIN THE HALL plays about 25 games in Trinity term, of which about one third are second XI matches. However, this year our season was devastated by a wet spell which lasted effectively for one half of the term . This included a washed out tour of Cambridge. But we played a number of matches in consecutive days later on, which more than compensated for our earlier disappointment.

We recorded victories in four matches, and only lost three . Highlights of the season include a fine century by Tim Eliott, the cuppers captain, against St. Peters . Richard Luddington again demonstrated his allround sporting ability by contributing a half century in the Cuppers win against New College. The Club captain surprized himself more than anyone else with his maiden 50 for the Hall.

Bowling honours go to Ashley Pigott who consistently put it there or thereabouts, and claimed a handful of wickets on many occasions throughout the season.

Nigel Holcroft also bowled consistently well without ever getting the luck he deserved.

We should have won Cupper this year with the wealth of talent the Hall possessed, but a batting collapse against a very moderate Merton attack sealed the Hall's fate at an early stage. Finally, my thanks go to Tim Sands, who helped me out on a number of occasions with problems both before and during the season .

R.Q .

THE HOCKEY CLUB Captains: L. FOLDS and K. BULGIN (ladies) THIS SEASON'S HOCKEY has been a slight anticlimax for me because despite having a team of quite outstanding quality we have faired fairly indifferently in both league and Cuppers.

We beat New College and Hertford in Cuppers and went out to the eventual winners Univ in the quarter finals.

This year saw the start of employing women as key players in the team and I would like to thank Chris Tracey and Katherine Finucaine who played as well or better than most of the men .

The lack of competent players forced those in power, i.e. me, to choose some players who were dragged out of the library and ended up playing some useful hockey. Under this heading I would like to thank Mike O'Reilly, Hacker Chevis and One-hand Nawaz.

This leaves me just the old faithfuls who turned up almost every game and contributed almost nothing to our wins . These include Jon North, Mark Harrison, Jan Levenbach, Chris Fidler, Tom Bartlett, Dave Clayton, Jonathan Leaky and John Hughes. There just remains for me to say a sort of thanks to Guy Grainger our Archeology Institute import whose pink jumper will long remain in our nightmares .

L.F. THE LADIES' HOCKEY CLUB Captain: KATE BULGIN THE LADIES' HOCKEY team had a successful season culminating in an 11 - 0 victory over New College at the end of the Hilary term. The team always played well together allowing us to beat teams with more skilful players . The few

48

matches lost were lost narrowly due to solid defence work and the goal-scoring skills of the top scorer Maureen Wilks and of Christina Tracey. With more women coming up next year, we can hope for a season a:s good as or even better than the 1980/ 81 season .

K.B.

THE ATHLETIC CLUB Captain: A . BEST ATHLETICS CUPPERS this year has been a story of commitment. In the qualifying round, Hall athletes showed none of it, and had it not been for the spirit shown by a few regulars who did events unusual to them and by a few 'unusuals' who did events equally unusual to them, we would not have made the final at all. It is the captain's job .to get the team out on the track, but it is also the job of any reasonable Hallmen to help him do so by a little effort, to maintain our outstanding reputation. I would particularly like to thank those who got us to the final because when we made it, it became clear that no-one in the University could ¡ match us for ability and eventually commitment.

With a full team in action on 20th May we virtually swept the board and took the final in fine style, gaining nearly 150 points to win, with the runners up, Oriel, gaining just over 100 points. Some notable performances came from our University athletes - Buster Ewart (a Full Blue this year) won the 400 metres Hurdles, the 400 metres and ran too in the 800 metres and 4 x400 relay; John Moreland and Ian Coleman secured most of the throwing events, Peter Baker won the sprints and Andy Beardmore jumped his way to a few points for the team. Everyone else, too many to mention by name, contributed with great courage to the final victory and, in particular, it was good to see some first years in the points (Chris Cheseman, John Madgwick, Steve May & Buster) which bodes well for the future.

It all went to prove that we have got the Commitment when the crunch comes - we even put out a tug-o-war team this year, who were granted a walk over through lack of opposition and the fact that there was no rope (or even wire) to pull on, a great disappointment to some of them.

So, congratulations to the whole team for their effort and particularly to Andrew Beardmore following his election to President of OUAC for 1982 - let's hope he can lead Oxford to a victory.

T.B.

THE SQUASH CLUB Secretary: 0. FEAR Captain: C. BROWN¡HUMES THE SQUASH TEAM this year probably enjoyed its most successful season ever. In Michaelmas we very nearly won the League but unfortunately did not manage to complete all our games. However our main efforts were directed towards winning Cuppers in Hilary which, as we had three blues in the side, Ian Hardy (next year's Blues captain), Bill Hollington and Richard Ellis, we were favourites to win.

After reasonably easy victories over St. John's, Catz and Trinity and a harder one over Osier House, we defeated Balliol in the Final 4 - 1 in what is believed to be our first ever Squash Cuppers success. My thanks to Oliver Fear for his work as secretary; may the team continue to thrive under his captaincy next year ...

This has been a successful season for St. Edmund Hall teams especially in the League where promotion was secured . The depth of talent within the College became evident as inexperienced teams achieved wins over Worcester and Christ Church and good performances were returned on all but two occasions. Thanks are due to all those who represented the league side.

In Cuppers, the Hall's potent side swept into the semi-final on the strength of the brilliant 1st pair and some determined play by the 3rd pair. However, in the semi-final itself, the captain contrived to play some abysmal tennis and so lost the crucial match to a lower pair. Sympathy must go to John Hofstetter and David Durrans who did not lose a set in the competition and thanks to the others who competed so hard and well.

N.S.

THE CROSS-COUNTRY CLUB Captain: P. TINDALL THE SEASON has not been as successful as previous years, as there has been little interest shown by the freshers . Injuries and other commitments reduced the turnouts for both league and Cuppers races, but those who ran did put up a good performance . Unfortunately we did not have our usual contingent in the Oxford teams for the Cambridge match.

The highlight of the year was the St. Edmund Hall Relay, which was a great success and has an expanding entry each year, so that it is becoming a national event. Unfortunately SEH did not have enough runners available to enter a team.

P.T.

THE SWIMMING AND WATER POLO CLUBS Captain: C. G. S. ELEY IN TRINITY TERM the Hall swimming and water polo teams retained their Cuppers titles with ease. In the swimming competition J. Clark won the breaststroke event and with two finalists in every other race the team had a commanding lead over other colleges before the relays. Winning the freestyle relay and coming second in the medley team race the Hall team ended as comfortable victors over nearest rivals University College.

In water polo Cuppers the team progressed, arithmetically, to the final, disposing of BNC 5 - 0 and beating Hertford 6 - 0. While favourites Balliol may have been understrength for the final their 7 - 0 defeat by a strong Hall team showed that the latter were worthy winners. Goalkeeper McCartney is to be congratulated for keeping a clean sheet, as is Robson for some sound defensive play.

50

Swimming: J. Clark, A. Willis, J. Wilkes, J. Catmur, R. Durrans, D. Durrans, C. Eley Water Polo: D. McCartney, J. Clark, A. Willis, I. Durrans, G . Robson, C. Eley J. Clark and C. Eley represented the University against Cambridge in the water polo Varsity Match. C. Eley also swam for OUSC against CUSC .

C .G .S.E.

THE DARTS CLUB Captain: S. JOHNSON THIS YEAR the college darts team has done better than of late with a record of Won 5, Lost 5, Drawn 2 in the University League (1st Division). Really we ought to have done better than this considering the number of good players left in the Cuppers singles and doubles events in Trinity term which kept us busy.

The college competition was won by Richard Thomson in an exciting final with lan Coleman, who has played in the University second team this year.

Next year's captain is Nigel Holecroft who would be glad to hear from anyone who would like to play.

S.J .

THE CROQUET CLUB Secretary: I. N. MAIDMENT Captain: M. A. HOLFORD FOLLOWING the acquisition of St. Stephen's House the Hall has gained possession of a lawn which, after a modest investment in equipment, now serves as a croquet court. Though not wholly flat, it has nevertheless inspired a number of Aularians to pursue the game with the dedication necessary to foster excellence.

In Cuppers the teams were not wholly successful, an outcome which did not do justice to many hours of careful preparation by the players .

Holford played in the University side against Cambridge and there is every sign now that more Hallmen will follow him in a couple of years' time .

M.A.H.

THE SAILING CLUB Captain: C. FOSTER MAKING up for last year's disappointing performance, the Hall won sailing Cuppers this year. The hardest match was undoubtedly that against the favourites Wadham, in the semi-final, in which we won every race, but only after much teamwork, and a traumatic protest resulted in one race being resailed.

We then went on to meet a weak Jesus team in the final, whom we defeated in just two races of the three race match.

Chris Foster and Simon Belcher were re-awarded full Blues, and Simon Belcher was selected to sail for British Universities against the Americans in the summer.

Team: Chris Foster, Simon Johnson, Simon Belcher, Chris Neweall, lain Maidment, Tim Edmonds.

C.F.

THE BOXING CLUB Captain: D. SNELLING THE INVOLVEMENTof Hallmen in University boxing has always been strong. Four years ago Dave Deaver captained the club and last year two blues were won by

51

Don Crashaw and Dave Snelling. This year has been particularly successful, for not only did O.U.A.B.C. beat Cambridge 5 bouts to 4 in Cambridge, but three Hallmen, Mark Silinsky, Glenn Bates and Dave Snelling, this year's captain were in the winning team. One of the major factors in 0 .U .A.B.C.'s successes has been the support, of which 'the Hall' makes up by far the largest and most vocal contingent. The success of any sport is measured in its participants and supporters, and in the case of boxing the Hall does itself proud.

D.S. THE CYCLING CLUB Captain: A. Ross THIS YEAR'S Varsity Time Trial was held near Cambridge¡ on a wet and windy May 16th. Cornering was very tricky on the greasy roads, and consequently a number of riders crashed badly. Not so the Hall's two representatives, Alistair Ross and Nick Senechal, who finished 3rd and 4th in the Oxford Team, with respective times of 1 hour 2 minutes 11 seconds and 1 hour 2 minutes 29 seconds, for the 25 miles . As a result Alistair was awarded a half-blue, which represents a promising start to his first racing season, which has also seen him compete in the B.S.S.F. '10' championships at Exeter.

A.R. THE JOHN OLDHAM SOCIETY President: P . BURRELL Treasurer: R. McCREATH 1980/ 81 was, on the whole, a reasonably successful year for the John Oldham Society. It was involved in three productions during the year; one complete success, one partial success, and a non-event. Unfortunately the non-event came first. ¡ At the end of Michaelmas term every year the OUDS run a drama competition for the freshers. This year apathy and a general mood of indifference resulted in the John Oldham Society entry being submitted almost too late for consideration and it's subsequent withdrawal before being performed.

The success was Arthur Miller's 'Death of a Salesman' which the society eoproduced with Oriel Dramsoc and performed in the Northgate Hall. This show drew largely on the production team from 'The Homecoming'; another John Oldham Society production performed the year before.

The last, and most recent, show was the 1981 SEH Revue, put on in the Old Dining Hall by Zahid Namaz and an enthusiastic cast from the first year. The finished product was of variable quality but deserved better support than it received.

And what of the future? Thanks to the co-operative attitude of the central funding body, Amalgamated Clubs, the society is in a position to offer at least part sponsership to any member of the college who wishes to put on a play . The society can also offer technical assistance and advice on all aspects of production work: all one needs to do is ask.

Finally, Gary Adams and Simon Heilbron have retired from their positions as President and Treasurer of the Society and have been replaced by Peter Burrell and Rob McCreath.

THE HEARNE SOCIETY President: C. A. BULGIN Secretary: D. F. MOORE

THOMAS HEARNE might not have approved, but the society survived its first lady president and continued to be well supported this year. The society was given an amusing alternative perspective on the Whigs by Dr. Leslie Mitchell and addressed on the role of chivalry in the fourteenth century by Dr. George Holmes. Dr. Prances Lannon spoke on political parties during the Spanish Civil War. The society welcomed Professor Geoffrey Elton who was the speaker at the annual dinner.

C.B. THE MUSIC CLUB President: P. K. LEDSOME

OVER THE PAST year the music club has continued to hold its regular informal meetings when members bring along their own taste in music to be played on the club's stereo system to the other members for discussion , though on not too intellectual a level, afterwards .

Each term we have also held a concert/theatre trip in conjunction with the M.C.R. In Michaelmas term we saw the 'Accidental Death of the Anarchist' and at the Festival Hall we heard Brahm's Academic Festival Oveture, Rachmanionov's 3rd Piano Concerto, and Stravinski's Petrovska. This varied programme provided something for everyone , and , apart from the political lecturing at the end, the play was a very enjoyable farce .

Hilary term saw a trip to 'Duet for One' and a magnificant performance by Prances de la Tour in the leading role as a crippled musician . Meanwhile at the Festival Hall Mahler as usual provided an elevating experience and a sense of occasion.

The Music Club also held a very successful concert, in Hilary Term, in which several hall musicians and the choir entertained, in a not too serious vein, a large and appreciative audience . The programme was: Nick Bamber, Dave South wood and Matthew Kelly .. ......... Mozart Skittle Trio The Chapel Choir ....................... ........ ......... .... . Linden Lee, The Goslings Richard Teller. ....... ..... .... ....... .... Chopin Nocturn No . 1, Jazz Improvisation *INTERVAL* Tony 'Jobber' Willis ........ ......... .. .. ....... ... .. ...... .. ..... on the Classical Guitar Gordon Levy, Tim Edmonds, Steve King, Nick Caddick ............ ... ... .. ..... .. .............. ...... ..... ... .. Haydn Flute Quartet The Chaplain, accompanied by Philip Rossiter. .......... .. .. ... A Victorian Ballad Unfortunately the range of instruments available in Hall is rather limited so that it would be difficult to form an orchestra, but enough are willing to perform as soloists or as a small group so that another concert will be held in Michaelmas term.

The main activity in Trinity term was a trip to Stratford to see 'Hamlet' in the marvellous Barton/Pennington production. Despite great interest expressed the previous term, the trip was not as well supported as it might have been but those who did go enjoyed a vital production in pleasant surroundings .

THE CHRISTIAN UNION Representatives: J . SLEE and M . BISHOP International Representative: W. F. G. STRANG THE CHRISTIAN UNION has had a good year in the college, with Christians of all denominations meeting together on Wednesday evenings . Over the year, the C.U., led by Steve Coulson, has continued to grow in size with several freshers becoming Christians. Perhaps the two highlights were the pre-Michaelmas term Houseparty held at lver in Bucks and the 'long weekend' during which David Watson gave three evangelistic addresses. He also will be leading the University Christian Union's triennial Mission in Hilary Term 1982, so that there is real hope that more people will come to know Jesus Christ for themselves and become involved in the Hall C.U. in the coming year.

THE ART COMMITTEE Secretary: A. M. P. GIRLING President: M. A. HOLFORD THERE WAS A fine start to the year with an exhibition in the J .C. R. Party Room of a substantial part of the collection, including works normally hung in the S.C.R. Most members of the Hall were able to see ¡this and were thereby encouraged to take advantage of the loan scheme so that few works in the collection have not seen daylight in an undergraduate room. In addition, the insurance cover has been extended to allow pictures to be hung in Norham St. Edmund.

Although we were unable to buy a study by Burne-Jones for one of the window panels in Chapel, we are grateful for the addition to the collection of two sets of panels by J esse All en.

THE JOHN METHUEN SOCIETY President: M. ASHTON THE JOHN METHUEN DINING SOCIETY continued to flourish in 1981. The annual dinner was held at the Bleu, Blanc, Rouge Restaurant, where the members' palates were titillated by delightful French cuisine. The guest for the evening was the Revd. Graham Midgley who was most entertaining with his anecdotes of the past. Presidency for the coming year was bestowed upon Mr. Richard Ward, who accepted graciously.

At the end of Trinity Term, the new President and the Chief of the Oronhyatekha Tribe organized an evening drinks party in the gardens of Norham St. Edmund. It was well attended and it is hoped that it will become a permanent date in the Hall calendar.

M.R.A.

THE ORONHYATEKHA DINING SOCIETY President: T . ELLIOTT THE WARRIORS of the Hall met for their annual dinner on the 4th December 1980.

Twenty-four braves were present. Mr. Watkinson, an ex-warrior of the Tribe, came as a guest. Speeches from the Chief and Mr. Watkinson were well received, and a few other verbal contributions were also tolerated.

Warrior Best has been chosen to lead the Tribe for the next year.

THE COSMOGRAPHERS SOCIETY President: D. J . Cox Secretary: R. M. McCREATH Treasurer: G. C. ALCOCK

GREAT ECONOMIC and social changes have taken place in the Hall in recent years, and there has been growing consciousness of the need for Cosmographical planning. The magnitude, persistence and area! extent of consequent problems during drinks parties seem to justify studies which identify, analyse and even seek solutions to them. One problem of this kind forms the theme for the Cosmographers, but attention is drawn to similar problems encountered in other parts of the Hall and the Cosmographer is encouraged to deduce principles of more general application.

Mention has not yet been made of the large number of books which have come to the library from Dr. Emden's bequest. The collection, which is largely of historical works, will be of use to both undergraduates and research students.

Among other items, it contains long runs of Societies - Canterbury and York, Surtees, Oxford Historical; numerous works on both Oxford and Cambridge; and a sizeable and unique collection of books, slides, drawings and notes by Dr. Emden, of botanical interest. These are a most welcome and valuable addition to the library.

It is with many thanks that we would also like to make special mention of a large number of works on early French and German language and literature, which Sir Claude Hayes has very kindly given us.
