ST EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE October 1985

VOL. XII. No. 5 EDITORIAL

I wrote what I sincerely believed to be my last editorial and sent my best wishes to my successor. Vain are the hopes and plans of men. Like some repeatedly retiring prima donna, I am forced to make a second positively last appearance. A new editor will definitely be in the chair for the next issue, an Aularian himself and a long-serving Fellow of the Hall, Dr. Ian Scargill. True to form, I must apologise for errors in last year's Magazine, and correct them. On page 43, in the announcements of deaths, we printed W alter Wilfrid Edward Giles. This should have read Walter Wilfred Edwin Giles. In the list of contributors to the Norham St. Edmund Appeal, the Rev Canon I. F. F. Webb was misprinted as The Rev. Canon I. F. F. Weir. Two errors crept into references to the funding of the important new Fellowship in Computer Science, attributable to the Editor's ignorance and careless proof-reading. On page 10 the credit was wrongly given to 'General Electric (UK)' and on page 28 the reporter of the Principal's speech at the Reunion misheard and recorded 'E.E.C.' We now set the record straight by acknowledging the benefactor of this Fellowship as the 'G.E.C.' and apologize for this confusion. Finally a farewell thanks to my Assistant Editor, Belinda Markham, who proved herself as capable as her predecessors in forcing sportsmen to take up the pen: to the ladies of the Bursary for their- almost- unvarying patience and cheerfulness: and to Mary Boak, the College Office, and the Librarian for their contributions. LAST YEAR

FROM THE PRINCIPAL THIS YEAR there have been financial bright spots. To begin with, the response to the renewal of the Appeal has been most encouraging. Then we received a bequest of almost ÂŁ155,000 from an old

member, the Revd Selwyn Cox and his wife. This was to be used on a project commemorating his name, and it has been decided to fund one of the Fellowships in Modern Languages with it, as this was Mr Selwyn Cox's subject. Finally, we have just heard of a bequest of between £260- 270,000 from another old member, Mr A. C. Cooper. Before these bequests our capital endowment stood at £1.25 million. With a turnover of £1.5m., more than half the income for which comes from Government controlled fees, we need in excess of £5 million to give anything approaching an adequate cushion. Nevertheless, these constitute a very heartening step forward. We have also received a travel prize of £400 from Professor Radford, and two prizes for journalism from the Philip Geddes Memorial Trust. Philip Geddes was an old member killed in the Harrods bombing, and some of his friends in the Press raised some £25,000, the income from which is to be used to fund two substantial prizes, in the first instance to members of St Edmund Hall. Professor Ganz and Dr Daniel are leaving us at the end of this year, and Graham Midgley is finally surrendering spiritual control of the College. Mr Cyril Anslow will have survived fifty years of service to the College this autumn, a feat we are hoping suitably to mark. Mr Percy James will be retiring as Steward at Christmas, having seen us through the change from a medieval Hall to a thriving conference centre. The year has been typically full and varied, and I hope a perusal of these pages will make it clear that we are not stagnating. J.C.B.G. THE NORHAM ST. EDMUND APPEAL A REPORT FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE S.E.H. ASSOCIATION contained the initiating letter from the Visitor and Sir William Nield reviving the Appeal which had quiesced at £80,000; the 1984 Magazine, with the first report of the Association's active campaigning, announced a figure of £158,000 achieved, with the closing exhortation 'Keep it up and we'll get there.' This 1985 report is to bring you up to date on another year's · effort. The main new feature in the way we have worked has been the organisation of Aularian reunions up and down the land, organised in the first stages by the President and then very much arranged by THE 1983 MAGAZINE

Aularians on the spot, helped often by their loyal spouses. At all these we have drunk well, eaten splendidly, met old friends, talked over Hall gossip- and then I have done my piece, and exhorted the brethren to contribute, to sign a covenant, to make my journey worthwhile. I would like to record, in print, my thanks to all those who made my carpet-bagging up and down the country a really happy experience: Peter Robbins and Mike Smith at Warwick; Ray O'Brien and David Wotherspoon in Liverpool; Charles Gullick in Durham; Chris Wilson in Reading, Michael Ridley in Edinburgh; David Cox in Essex; Robin Sykes in Bristol; Brigadier Henry Orton in Southampton, and the Dean, the Very Rev. Robert Holtby, in Chichester. With all these I couple thanks to the wives who provided the delights of the buffet. The Appeal also took me farther afield. I managed the Canadian visit I mentioned in last year's Magazine, and we had a memorable reunion at Harry Girling's house in Toronto on 9 October 1984. There is no doubt that the wonderful Canadian Aularian spirit fostered by Raymond Ullyatt for many years, will be maintained under our new Canadian boss-man John Daniels. In April1985 I was sent to the U.S.A., and attended two reunions we had arranged, one in New York, hosted by David Band and Harry Howell at the very exclusive Links Club, the other at Steffen Graae's charming house in Washington, on a lovely summer evening. These meetings were tremendous fun, initiated plans for further and regular reunion dinners- and brought in generous donations of dollars. I am one of those regretting the strengthening of the pound! So, at the end of a year of much travelling, much enjoyment in meeting a host of Aularians, what of the state of the Appeal. I can record that on 5 June we had passed the psychological barrier of £200,000 and that we have now reached the total of

£206,000 We need £94,000. Let me put it this way. If we could receive: 93 7 year covenants of £100 p.a. 186 7 year covenants of£ 50 p.a. 372 7 year covenants of£ 25 p.a. we'd be home and dry. Surely we can do it. Let me be able to let next year's editor have a triumphant 'We've made it' report. Graham Midgley 3

IN MEMORIAM GEORGE WILSON KNIGHT, HONORARY FELLOW Professor George Wilson Knight, C.B.E., Honorary Fellow of the Hall, who died on 20 March at the age of 87, was one of the outstanding figures among the literary critics of his time. Born in 1897, he was educated at Dulwich College and at the Hall, where he took his degree in English in 1923. He was Professor of English at Toronto and in 1940 returned to become a master at Stowe until 1946. From then until 1956 he was Reader, and from 1956 to 1962 Professor of English at Leeds University. From then on he led an active and productive retirement in his west country home. He was elected an Honorary Fellow of the Hall in 1965. His obituary in 'l;:he Times' summed up his contribution to English studies in his times: 'Wilson Knight combined scholarship with a wide range of interests; his work on Shakespeare illuminated the work of the dramatist afresh for the generation of students who grew up in the 1930's, and has continued to be read for its freshness and intensity of insight, while his later readings of figures such as Bryon and John Copwer Powys were challenging and disconcerting. His immense appeal- an appeal which continued to be felt strongly by students both young and old, academic and lay for fifty years -lay in the passionate spirit, the sense of adventure which he brought to literary studies. At a time when schools of criticism were beginning to harden in their attitudes to each other he remained a complete orginal. From his earliest books, Myth and Miracle, The Wheel of Fire and The Imperial Theme, he demonstrated the determination to practice a criticism based on the broadest possible of foundations. And his work, as an actor, producer, and eventually playwright reinforced the impression which his academic work made, that of a burning faith in literature as one of the great needs of man as a spiritual being.' 6

During his Honorary Fellowship he visited the Hall often, and always showed an affection for and an interest in his old college. The bronze head of himself which he gave to the Library will be our lasting memorial to this learned, creative and loveable man. IN MEMORIAM JOSEPH MARIA FRANCISCUS JASP ARS THE MAGAZINE records with regret the sudden death at his home in Oxford, of Dr Joseph Jaspars, our Official Tutorial Fellow in Psychology, on 31 July 1985. Born in Maastricht in Holland in 1934, he studied psychology at Leiden where he later became a lector, and in 1970 Professor of Social Psychology at the Catholic University of Nijmegen. His work in social psychology and his extensive publications made him a world-respected name in his field, and in the opinion of experts, one of the best in Europe. Oxford and the Hall were fortunate when he gave up his Chair at Nijmegen to take up his Fellowship here. He was a most attractive colieague, a burly 6' 6", friendly and easy in conversation, with a quiet voice and a gentle but shrewd sense of humour. He was much loved and admired by both undergraduate and graduate pupils, and was a most popular Tutor for Graduates. We were sad when, this summer, he decided to accept an invitation to the Chair of Psychology at Leiden: we are more deeply saddened that his sudden death has frustrated the return to his native Holland, and taken him so permanently from us. We send our sympathy to his wife Bea, his son Marcel, and his daughter Susanne.

IN MEMORIAM JOHN BELLERBY ALLAN MEMBERS OF THE St. Edmund Hall Association everywhere will be sad to know that one of its most loved and loyal former Presidents, John Allan, died on 31 July, 1985, having just celebrated his 80th birthday. He came up to the Hall from Newcastle, in 1924, and read the Honour School of History. Dr Emden was his tutor and subsequently his life-long friend, and many were his stories of threehour tutorials and ornithological rambles on Otmoor. After Oxford he entered the banking profession, was rapidly promoted to managerial rank and finally returned to Oxford as Manager of Lloyd's Bank at Carfax.

From then on his connection with the Hall strengthened, and his involvement with the activities of past and present Aularians deepened. He served as Treasurer of the Association for forty years, and occupied the President's chair from 1968-70, bringing to that office not only his financial acumen and his ability to run a cornniittee firmly, but his zest for life, his sense of fun, his common sense which denounced pettifoggery and legalism, and his warmth of manner. His subsequent presence on the Executive Committee has been a source of strength- and often of consolation- to many a succeeding President, and he will be sorely missed. He will also be missed in Senior Common Room of which he was a member, and where he loved to dine, to taste good claret, and to meet old friends. He died on the way home from a wonderful family reunion in Northumberland where his 80th birthday was celebrated in high style. His funeral service at Cumnor Church was taken by the present President of the Association, the first time a President and a former President have shared such a ceremony, one inevitably sad, but which was above all a service of thanksgiving for a full and fruitful life. The Association sent its wreath of flowers in Aularian colours, and sends its sympathy to John's wife Evelyn, and to his family. COMINGS AND GOINGS THIS YEAR we have welcomed three new Fellows to the Governing Body. Nicholas Ernest Cronk, M.A. has been elected to an Official Fellowship and Tutorship in French, which he will hold with a Faculty Lectureship in Eighteenth Century French Literature, Mr Cronk is a graduate of the Queen's College and has been a Junior Research Fellow of Pembroke College. Stuart John Ferguson, M.A., D.Phil. has been elected to an Offical Fellowship and Tutorship in Biochemistry. Dr Ferguson is a graduate of Merton College, and joins us from the University of Birmingham where he has been a Lecturer in the Department of Biochemistry. Stephen Charles Flood, a graduate of the Hall and the holder of a Royal Society Fellowship in metallurgy, has been elected to a Fellowship by Special Election with membership of the Governing Body. David Tindle, R.A. the Ruskin Master of Drawing, who succeeds Philip Morsberger, has been elected to a Professorial Fellowship.

Miss S. D. Horovitz has been appointed Lecturer in Music. S. Lee has been appointed Lecturer in Law. J. Spurr has been appointed Radcliffe Lecturer in Modern History. The Rev. Christopher Irvine joins us as Chaplain, and will also be a Lecturer at St. Stephen's House. He comes to us from Sheffield University, where he has been Anglican Chaplain. Three members of the Governing Body have left us. R. W. Daniel, CEGB Research Fellow in Engineering Science has been appointed to a University New Blood Lectureship in Engineering Science, with a Fellowship at Brasenose College. Professor P. F. Ganz has left to become Resident Fellow in charge of research at the Herzog August Bibliothek at W olfenbtittel in W. Germany. The Rev. Graham Midgley has completed his last year as Chaplain, and finally and completely left. He takes up his duties as Chaplain of St. Hugh's College in Michaelmas 1985. A GOLDEN JUBILEE COUNTLESS Aularians of many generations and in many places throughout the world will be delighted to know that this year sees the Golden Jubilee of the arrival in the Hall of Cyril Anslow who, to all of us , has been 'Cyril' throughout those years. In 1935 he came as a young boy to be a washer-up of plates and cutlery in the Lower Buttery, but his qualities were soon recognised and he started up the ladder of promotion, first to be Butteryman's Assistant, then J.C.R. man and messenger, and helping on High Table and private dinners. He was now called often to the Principal's Lodgings to help at luncheon and dinner parties. It was here he first met Ethel who was to become his wife after some years and many more adventures. When the war came he remained in Hall for a few months doing most jobs- scout, lodge porter, boilerman etc. in those days of acute manpower shortage- and then joined the Royal Navy and served overseas. When he came back to home waters in September 1944 he married Ethel and came out of the Navy at the end of the war in 1945. From now on he was Principal's scout and butler, living with his new wife in a flat at the top of the Lodgings, where his son, Peter, was born in 1946. When Dr Emden retired, Cyril took Dr Kelly under his care, as well as thoroughly spoiling the undergraduates who still lived on Principal's staircase, and looking after Dr Emden in his Headington home. He added to his responsibilities

the supervision of the rapidly growing wine-cellar and, when Dr Kelly retired, the cellar became his empire. Aularians everywhere will want to join with the Magazine in congratulating him on fifty years of loyal service to the Hall, and in hoping that he will be with us for many more. We send best wishes and thanks to him and to Ethel. A RETIREMENT PERCY JAMES, the College Steward, who came to the Hall on 2 June 1958, is due to retire before the end of 1985, at the age of 68. Before coming to the Hall, Percy had a varied and interesting career. He ended the second World War as a Sgt. Physical Training Instructor in the R.A.F. and went on to a sporting career as a footballer. He played as an amateur for his native country Wales, and then, for a time, as a professional, he was player-manager of Luton Town and later manager of Oxford City Football Club. He was also a wily legspin bowler and topped the Incog. bowling averages in 1970. He was no mean squash player and gave many a perspiring don a hard run for his money. In later years he took a keen interest in promoting sport among the youngsters of the city, and many of his protegees appeared not only on the field, but also as junior waiters in hall! Over the years at the Hall he has been an outstanding Steward, who always went out of his way to help everyone from Principal to the newest Freshman. He has run a very happy staff, often, in recent times, under considerable strain as conference business has grown. He will be much missed. His cheerfulness, his willingness to take a joke (especially against the Welsh), his ability to find things in his secret stores to satisfy the oddest of requests, his willingness to cut red-tape- all these have endeared him to generations of dons and undergraduates. Old members who have fond memories of Percy and his help, might like to subscribe something towards a farewell gift. Donations, made out to 'The St. Edmund Hall Percy James Fund' should be sent to the Domestic Bursar, at the Hall.

GIFTS TO THE COLLEGE THE GOVERNING BODY records its thanks to the following who, during the year, made gifts to the Hall: The St. Edmund Hall Association for a gift of ÂŁ100 towards the

purchase of the new shell eight and for further help in increasing the amount available in the Graham Hamilton Travel Fund. The Friends of the Boat Club for their gifts to Boat Club Funds, among them Michael Pelham, Sean Morris, Stuart DouglasMann, John Reis, Bill Thatcher, Laughton Fage and Richard Fishlock. Professor Harold Brooks for an extensive collection relating to John Oldham, making the Hall's collection of Oldham superior to that in the British Library or Bodleian Library. Miss Geraldine Plumtre for two water colours and several items for the Archives. G. D. Warner of Fitzwilliam College for a silver Armada dish. HONOURS AND AWARDS The Magazine congratulates: C. M.

FROM THE CHAPLAIN OUR WORSHIP in Chapel has kept to the pattern established over the last few years, with the main Sunday service alternating between a Sung Eucharist and Evensong. We are now perfectly accustomed to both the A and B rites of the ASB, but we use the rite of 1662 twice a term so that its beauty and dignity should not be unknown to the rising generation. In Lent we used- before they were authorized!- some of the new services which will be published in the forthcoming book of Services for Lent and Holy Week prepared by the Liturgical Commission. In Trinity term we celebrated the weekday Eucharists in the ancient crypt of St. Peter's; the procession was made on the feast of the Translation of St. Edmund, and services of reading and music were held for Advent and the beginning of Lent. Anthony Snook retired from the Chapel Wardenship at the end of Michaelmas, and Paul Smith joined Jo Cox as Wardens. Among our preachers- omitting the home team- were the Rev N. Macdonald Ramm, Chaplain of Oxford Prison; the Rev Philip Roberts, Chaplain of Sir John Radcliffe Infirmary; the Rev Paul Rimmer, Vicar of Marston; Tim Saunders, an old Hall man and College missioner during the OICU mission; Miss Pat Dodds of St. Aldates Church, and the Rev. Michael Bourdeaux, another Hall man and Director of Keston College. We gave about ÂŁ203 from our collections to charities, which included: St. Augustine's Mission School in Zimbabwe; Shelter; the NSPCC; Crisis at Christmas; the Ethiopian Self-help Organisation; Help the Aged; the Oxford Mission to Calcutta; the Samaritans; Save the Children; Christian Aid; Keston College; the O.K. Club; and Exeter College's summer camp for deprived children.

During the year three Aularian babies were baptized in Chapel, one Aularian was married (she was the bride), and one Aularian returned for a service of prayer and dedication after his civil marriage. This has not been an entirely encouraging year in Chapel. There has been a falling off in the size of congregation; there has been a corresponding falling off in the size and loyalty of the choir, which has been such an important part of our worship; there has been a failure to bring together, into the worshipping body of the Hall, Christians of all 'altitudes' and persuasions. There has been an increasing tendency among certain Hall Christians to hive off from Chapel, Chaplain and college worship, to meet for prayer and Bible study as a separate group, and to worship, not in the midst of the body of which they are a part, but in a city church. Leaders in past years have managed, with charity and humour, to lead their own particular spiritual life and also lead their members to the Chapel in worship. This meeting and frequent controversy were fruitful, and far more creative than the self-contemplating and self-congratulating separatism we have seen lately. My prayer is that under our new Chaplain, Christopher Irvine, the happy unity of Christians in Hall will be restored, that there will be a comingtogether again of all Christians in Hall, of all shapes and sizes, around the Holy Table and in the Chapel which is at the heart of the Hall. When this is published, I shall be in another college and with a different flock, but my prayers will always be with you, and for this place, where I became a Christian, and where I have worshipped with great happiness for over forty years. E.G.M. FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE 1.C.R. HA VINO ONLY managed to beat a vacuum cleaner by two votes to put myself into the position of writing this article, it should perhaps be said that I don't speak for all 1 .C.R. members- though I would hope that I have a considerably less monotonous tone than my nearest rival. Despite this split in public opinion, I still believe there are areas of the 1 .C.R. affairs that I can talk about freely, and without injuring the delicate political sensibilities of his (1. Edgar Hoover's) supporters. I can make it clear to you, for example, that 1.C.R. members, whatever their persuasion, have been extremly active this year. The

John Oldham Society has been actively and successfully revived. Clubs such as the Music and Choral Society have been flourishing. Issues of The Au/arian have been, to say the least, vigorous, and new clubs such as a dance/ exercise and a Ladies Cricket Team have sprung up. Trinity '85 was also the occasion of an Arts Festival which, despite Cherwell's jibe was an enjoyable and on occasion a very powerful event. J.C.R. activity also extended to its collective decisions. A motion was recently passed to implement major alterations to the architecture of the J .C.R., hopefully turning those rooms into much more of a focal point for undergraduate life. For a similar reason moves are under way to improve the decor of the J.C.R.- a competition for designs is to be organised, the results of which will be known by Christmas. The J. C. R. has also altered and will be altering in less tangible ways. First a number of constitutional amendments have been passed, aligning current practice with what is actually laid down, and a number of others have been passed to make the constitution a more comprehensive guide to J.C.R. members. A mechanism by which J .C.R. officials may be removed from office because of incompetence has been introduced, and it has become grounds for 'sacking' if an O.U.S.U. rep. fails to attend meetings relevant to his/her position. TP,is last motion is an indication of the growing interest which J.C.R. members are developing in University and not just college affairs, reflected in the decision of the last J .C.R. meeting of the year to re-affiliate to the N.U.S. An added factor here was a special deal offered by O.U.S.U. in which N.U .S. subscriptions were reduced from ÂŁ2.30 per person to ÂŁ0.21. Also of interest to Old Aularians may be the alteration of uses to which the Ultra Vires (Charity) Fund and the Third World Fund have been put. The J.C.R. has decided to put the bulk of the former monies into a single local charitable project, 'Nightshelter', an organization catering for the large number of people homeless in Oxford, felt to be particularly appropriate in view of the kind of pressure that students put on housing in the city. It was decided that money in the Third World Fund being channelled into scholarships was being inefficiently spent, and that another project should be supported. A questionaire will be circulated next term (Michaelmas '85) to decide on one project out of a number of options available to us. The basis of the current activity and enthusiasm in college seems to me to have been laid very much by the retiring J.C.R. officials- Simon ffitch, Sara Holmes and Max lrwin, not forgetting the treasurers who split the year, Richard Gale and Clare Wynter. Not only did they manage to arrange a wide variety of 14

events and services with great efficiency, but they spent a great deal of time passing on what they knew to their successors, preserving continuity and, we hope, efficiency in J .C.R. affairs. They certainly gave me a lot of much needed help for which I would like to take this opportunity of thanking them, and hope that at the end of my term of office there will be evidence of the kind of activity and involvement in the life of the college which they, and many other old Aularians have made such a distinguishing feature of St. Edmund Hall. David Reed (President)

THE HALL BALL THE THEME of this year's ball was 'Alice in Wonderland' and a tremendous amount of ingenuity and imagination had gone into the decor and the disposition of the various parts of the college which combine in this annual transformation. The Front Quad became the famous Croquet Lawn, with flamingoes and red/white rose trees; the J.C.R. quad housed one bar inevitably entitled 'Drink me', while the supper marquee, equally inevitably, was 'Eat me'; the Upper Quad became a giant chessboard; toadstools, caterpillars, cards and lobster pots all played their part. In this ambiance the usual astounding variety of entertainments was offered. The big noises came from Wooden Tops, the Untouchables, the Chevalier Brothers and Jimmy Jimmy, with the Wild Turkey Club sounding between, but space forbids the naming of the huge variety of groups, solists, jazz, lutes, pianists, dancer, intrepid Baldinis, Strauss orchestras etc. etc. which played and gambolled until the early hours. Gabriel and his superbly loyal staff provided, as always, a wonderful dinner for over a thousand guests in the great marquees, and steaks and roast potatoes on the now veteran barbeque grill. The only thing this hardworking Ball Committee could not control, failed us. We had a dreadful rainy night, the climax of a truly horrid Trinity term (weatherwise, that is) and perhaps not enough thought had been given to the possibility of such an inclement evening. Even so, although some of the decorations suffered, the high spirits and determined enjoyment of the company were in no way diminished, and the Survivors' Photograph, taken before breakfast and the departure for the punts, shows a huge gathering of wonderfully cheerful and amazingly awake young faces. Congratulations to Mark Trigg, Chairman, and all the members of his Ball Committee, especially on arranging things so that the new lawn in the Front Quad suffered hardly any damage. Perhaps next year's Committee might wonder whether the tower lighting gave all that much more light, and whether it sacrificed much of the beauty of floodlighting, especially in the Front Quad. They might also tighten up the tidying-away operation. 'After the Ball was over' becomes tiresome if it goes on for a fortnight!

A DECOROUS AND COMELY ROUT ON SATURDAY 24 November 1984, the Wolfson Dining Hall witnessed something entirely different- a Minuet Ball.

Stephen Flood had persuaded Simon Caradoc Evans and the Covent Garden Minuet Company to organise and lead an evening of dance, music and song of the eighteenth century, entirely free of charge, in aid of the N.S.E. Appeal Fund. This body of devoted enthusiasts of eighteenth century dance joined us in full costume and bewigged elegance, and at least half of those attending enjoyed dressing up in the costume of the period, the Chaplain saving money by only having to hire a wig and appearing as an eighteenth century scarved chaplain. Madrigals by our own college choir and orchestral music under the direction of Christopher Sikes, Master of the Music at St. Martin' s-in-the-Fields formed an enjoyable part of the evening, as did the cold collation and wine served at our tables, but the dance was the star of the evening not only when we watched the practised perfection of the minuet company, but when the general company joined in the lesson-demonstrations and, before the evening was out, were proceeding with grace and confidence around the Hall. At 1i.OO p.m., to the music of the minuet from 'Don Giovanni', we were a credit to our teachers, and many were already devoted minuet dancers. We sang the National Anthem as the evening closed, and carriages had been called for 11.30. We would like to thank Stephen Flood and Caradoc Evans for making this superbly different evening possible, and for adding a considerable sum to the Appeal. GARDEN NEWS TWO MAJOR changes have been made to the gardens during the course of the year. Towards Christmas it became clear that the pseudacacia in the Front Quad ('the tree') had, despite the sturdy but ugly prop, became dangerous, and arrangements were made to have it cut down and a new, well-grown successor to be planted. This was done in late April 1985, and the new tree appears to have settled in very happily and is making rapid growth. In a few years' time, the gap in the skyline which we all feel rather acutely at the moment, will be greening over. At the same time it was decided that the lawn in the Front Quad was beyond repair and that a new lawn, using a revolutionary turf grown on a fine nylon net, and unrolled like expensive carpet, should be laid. The old lawn was opened up and torn to pieces by machines which feature in the photograph, poisons were applied

to kill off all remaining weeds and roots, and the brilliant new green provided an instant lawn. Careful protection of this delicate new greensward from undergraduate feet, Hall Ball revellers and Garden party crowds was achieved, and by the end of the Long Vacation it ought to be safely established for generations of rolling and cutting. ST EDMUND HALL ARTS FESTIVAL 17/18/19 MAY 1985 THE NEWS OF a prospective Arts Festival at St Edmund Hall was received with guarded enthusiasm of college members and more sceptically by the rest of the University. 'Will it include a rugby display?' was one wit's comment, and even 'Cherwell' described it as a contradiction in terms. However, notwithstanding this slightly cynical attitude, preparations for the Festival went ahead, although having no real precedent to follow these were not without their complications. How long the Festival should run for and what format it should take were the obvious all-important considerations. It was decided that the event should strive for a balance between 'culture' and 'fun' (although attempts to turn the college music room into a giant 'graffiti wall' were subsequently shelved, as tins of paint and less artistically-minded participants might have proved a problem ... ). The committee's objective was to transform the college into a hive of artistic activity for a weekend, with differing entertainments running concurrently from early afternoon until late at night. Financing the Festival now proved the most immediate difficulty; and, sponsorship from Arts Associations being unforthcoming, SEH ultimately provided all the funding. The JCR contributed £798 through an optional £2 Battel levy and the SCR provided a £1000 loan, with £512 coming from generous donations by Old Aularians. So, armed with a definite idea of the budget, the committee started in earnest to select acts for the Festival, with preference being given to college and University performers and variety being the name-of-the-game. Friday, May 17th saw, among other things, a talk by novelist D. M. Thomas, a student revue and a recital by a 34 strong choir; who, unable to fit into the Chapel (an organisational oversight) sang in the Front Quad, much to the amusement and enjoyment of those gathered outside the college bar. Saturday afternoon started with modern and classical music recitals, followed by a talk by novelist Diana Stainforth and a student poetry recital on the theme of loss 18

(suitably enough performed in the graveyard); with the Ventus Wind Quintet from the Royal College of Music and the Oxford Revue Company proving the highlights of the evening. Sunday saw a similar mixture of drama, music and poetry with the OU Opera Society and a couple of student plays bringing the Festival to a close. All weekend the photographic and art displays were open to the public; and the JCR, transformed into a cafe for the occasion, served sumptuous cakes and sandwiches to the accompaniment of live music. A sculpture from railway sleepers and branches, which was being constructed in the graveyard over the weekend, eventually snaked its way out into Queen's Lane with an attached note inviting people to 'come and see what's at the other end'. Tourists did just that. Unfortunately, inspite of a solid publicity campaign and minimal entrance fees, attendance at the Festival was disappointing; although a few events, notably the evening student plays and the Indian Classical Dance display(!) were packed. The Breakdancing display also provided a big success, the Porter's Lodge being deluged with callers asking what time the dancers were performing. Evidently the F.A. Cup Final on Saturday (the dullest in years ... or so I heard said) proved a greater attraction. Anyway, congratulations are due to the dedicated committee- Tom Burgess, John Clark, Lesley Friedman, Sara Holmes, Fiona Larkin, Belinda Markham, Helen Macleod, Sian Owen and Warren Thomas - who worked extremely hard to create the Festival. Our grateful thanks to St Edmund Hall's JCR and SCR and especially to the following Old Aularians for their generous financial contributions: Mr M. Rudman, Mr D. Aukin, Mr L. Rousell, Mr P. Garland, Mr M. Robson, Mr P. Alien, Mr G. Thompson, Sir R. Day, Mr J. Wells, Mr J. Harpham, Mr J. Pike, Mr L. Tempest, Mr R. Thorne and Mr R. McAdams. We hope that in a few years time a similar venture might be attempted and so keep the Arts flourishing in St Edmund Hall. A NEW BOAT AND BOATING FRIENDS TOWARD THE END of Michaelmas Term it became clear that there was something wrong with the 1st VIII carbocraft- the 'Alfred Brotherston Emden'. Investigation confirmed that the builders had been negligent, failing to attach the bulkheads properly, so that the boat began to twist unacceptably. Unfortunately Carbocraft had become insolvent, so that there was no point in taking action against them. A new company, Ayling's Racing Boats, took

over the carbocraft process and we negotiated favourable terms with them for a new boat. The first Torpid had to make do with the patched up carbocraft, but in the summer a brand new Aylings VIII, built in Kevlan a new material, duly arrived. It is good to report that this is a very fast besides a very elegant boat, which should see us through several summers. The new boat has been named after the Boat Club's most staunch supporter in recent times- Graham Midgley- who, accompanied by Mike Pelham, Hugh Thomas and Richard Bate, our coaches, christened the boat with the traditional bubbly, and watched it off on a ceremonial row to the Gut and back. The Magazine is also pleased to announce the formation of the 'Friends of St. Edmund Hall Boat Club', an organisation created 'to protect and further the interests of past and present members of the St. Edmund Hall Boat Club'. It is proposed to arrange reunions for Henley and Summer Eights, a biennial dinner commencing 1986, and the availability once more of boat club ties and blazers. It is also hoped to assist the Boat Club with loans, donations and coaching. The Revd. Graham Midgley has very kindly agreed to act as Presidents of this illustrious body and enquiries should be sent to the Secretary, Stuart Worthington at 18, Green Hayes Avenue, Wigan, Lancashire, WN 2EP.

J.C.R. AND M.C.R. OFFICERS s. K. FFITCH was President of the Junior Common Room during Hilary, Trinity and Michaelmas Terms 1984. When his term of office finished in December 1984, D. K.

THE FOLLOWING

DEGREE DAYS; There are vacancies at the degree ceremony on Saturday 2 August 1986. All the other ceremonies in Michaelmas 1985, Hilary 1986 and Trinity 1986 are full. Degrees may, however, be taken in absentia at any of the ceremonies on the following dates; Saturday 26 October 1985; Saturday 9 November 1985; Saturday 30 November 1985; Saturday 25 January 1986, Saturday 8 March 1986; Saturday 24 May 1986; Saturday 14 June 1986; Saturday 19 July 1986; Saturday 2 August 1986. Members of the Hall wishing to make arrangements for taking their degrees should write in advance to The Dean of Degrees' Secretary, The College Office, St. Edmund Hall, Oxford OX1 4AR. The University has imposed a quota of 14 candidates per college on each ceremony, so it cannot be taken for granted that a degree may be taken on a chosen date. On receipt of the application form, candidates will be informed as to whether it has been possible to enter them for the ceremony in question. The summer ceremonies become booked up extremly quickly. This does not, of course, apply to degrees taken in absentia.

THE REUNION THE ANNUAL REUNION of old members was held on Saturday 29 June 1985. A week after the rain-soaked Saturday of the Hall Ball, the Reunion was granted a perfect summer day. This was the greatest of blessings, for over 1000 had accepted the Association's invitation to a garden party to celebrate its Diamond Jubilee. The Association invited: the Hall catered and, with great generosity, paid the bill as our birthday present. A Jubilee Exhibition had been mounted in the Old Dining Hall, with a display of silver given to the Hall by the Association, a display of Hall ties of every vintage, a superb selection of photos of the Hall from 1813 to the present, mounted by the Rev. John Cowdrey, the Hall archivist, who also guarded and displayed the Benefactors' Book and the Charter. Farrand Radley brought his extensive collection of Aulariana: Brian Forrest brought his rudder trophies from 1930 and 1934: the Librarian arranged a most attractive display of some books from the collection donated by Aularian authors. Around the exhibition, and in and out of the marquee in the Library Garden, crowds circulated, old friends met, hundredweights of raspberries were consumed, sandwiches munched and tea drunk. A splendid occasion. After a packed Evensong with some of the lustiest singing for years, and the first lesson read by the Hon . Sec., Farrand Radley, sherry was taken more around than on the lawn (for the new greensward needs delicate treatment at the moment) and we moved into dinner, over 200 of us, drawn from matric. years up to and including 1969, 'the older end' . After an exceedingly good dinner, the Principal rose to propose the toast 'Floreat Aula'. He gave us some acount of the year's activities and the comings and goings which are recorded in this Magazine, but which he presented with more wit and irony. He announced the great bequests which the Hall had received

in the past year, £155,000 from the late Rev. Selwyn Cox, and now over £260,000 from the late A. C. Cooper. He gave a full and frank account of the problem of Hall finances, stressing especially our lack of endowment income compared with many colleges, a lack which generous benefactions such as these did something to alleviate. The endowment and endowment income must be built up, but meanwhile the Appeal for the specific purpose of paying the N.S.E. bill was an urgent and parallel task. The President of the Association rose to give a vote of thanks to the Principal and the Governing Body for their generosity in providing the garden party for members and their families, and a sumptious dinner for us. He recalled the ambition voiced in his speech last year, to be the President who made the shortest speeches, but his ambition had grown. He now intended to be the President who didn't make a speech at all at the Reunion, but reserved his words for the London Dinner, a custom firmly observed until1966. Nevertheless he felt he must give an account of the state of the Appeal- the substance of which appears elsewhere in this Magazine- and, suddenly filled with a charismatic fervour, urged his brothers and sisters to come forward and sign the Covenant. We were moving into the final and possibly terrifying closing stages of the Appeal, and he urged Aularians to repent and contribute, before it was too late to escape the wrath to come. We must apologise to those who heard nothing of these brilliant speeches. It was only discovered immediately before the dinner that the microphone from the P.A. system had been stolen by some cowboy character from one of the musical groups at the Ball! An addition to the evening- and possibly a touch of the new vulgarity the President had promised- was a draw for the Garden Party raffle, which had added £334 to the Appeal, and provided the winners with delectable bottles and pictures. There were present: The Principal, Mr J. C. B. Gosling; Dr J. D. Todd (1942), Vice-Principal; The Revd E. G. Midgley (1941), President of the St Edmund Hall Association; Mr G. W. H.

ST EDMUND HALL ASSOCIATION MINUTES OF THE 54TH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATION-8 JANUARY 1985

Historical Note THIS IS THE first time that a sequential number has been given to these proceedings and it appears on the suggestion of the President now that the combined Aularian and St Edmund Hall Associations approach their 60th Anniversary. For this purpose they are treated as one chronologically. The Constituent Meeting of the Aularian Association was held on 21 April 1925 and was manifestly the first (annual) general meeting, since the Minutes refer to the 'next General Meeting' to be held in 1926. General Meetings were held annually in April until 1929: in July, 1930: and June 1931-39. World War II caused a gap untill947, when they were resumed, still as 'General Meetings' until 1959, and then as 'Annual General Meetings' until1965: all in June. The first AGM of the St Edmund Hall Association, its successor, was on 11 January 1966 before the London Dinner instead of the Hall Reunion, an arrangement which has persisted ever since. In the 61 years from 1925 to 1985 there have thus, with the wartime gap of 7 years from 1940 through to 1946, been 54 gatherings qualifying for the title of Annual General Meeting . The 54th Annual General Meeting of the Association (i.e. the Aularian Association and its re-named successor, the St Edmund Hall Association) was held at Simpson's-in-the-Strand, lOO Strand, London WC2R OEW , on Tuesday 8 January 1985 at 6.21 p.m., The Rev. Graham Midgley BLitt MA presiding. 18 members were present, fewer than in recent years owing to the effect of the inclement weather on health and transport, but nevertheless above the quorum of 10. Apologies were received from (inter alios):- J . C. B. Gosling (Principal): Sir William Nield (Immediate Past President): J. B. Allan, D. J. Derx, M. G. M. Groves, Sir Claude Hayes, The Rev. Dr J . N. D. Kelly, J. Lee, G. L. H. R. Shield, J. D. Shortridge, R. A. G. White, Sir Denis Wright. 1. MINUTES The Minutes of the last Meeting held 10 January 1984, having been published in the 1983-84 Magazine and copies being available, were taken as read, confirmed and signed by the President. 2. MATTERS ARISING

Last Minute 4: Composition of the Executive Committee The President reported that no members had responded so far to the call for suggestions on how to streamline the Committee apart from Ranulph Waye MBE TD MA, the second longest serving member of the Committee itself, who had taken the practical step of resigning after attaining 50 years' service on 19 June 1984. The Executive Committee did not propose to fill this vacancy on organisational grounds and Ranulph Waye, who, quite apart from his counsels over the years, had donated to the Hall through the Association, in 1958, a 1724 silver tankard by Thos. Tearle of London (to commemorate the signing of the Charter as a college and the visit of HRH The Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh KG KT) was thus literally irreplaceable.

3. PRESIDENT'S REPORT

The Rev. Graham Midgley announced a short report only: he didn't want to give his Dinner speech twice. The Appeal was however prospering and had given him a moderately successful year, contributions having more than doubled from the £80,000 at the beginning of the current renewal to over £180,000 including hard US and Canadian dollars. The latter stemmed from his swan over the Herring Pond to Toronto and a party of some 20 thrown by Harry Girling: he was writing further to USA Aularians. Appeal Parties had also been held in the West Midlands by Rugger-man Peter Robbins and Cricketer Mike Smith, and at Exeter by the Principal and Roger Farrand. The next targets for attack were in Scotland, Wales, Yorks, Lanes, Durham, Essex and Cheshire, with a long-range line on South Africa. The Domestic Bursar, Rear-Admiral Leslie, no mean craftsman in his spare time, had engraved a glass goblet with a scene of the Front Quad, and despite a lack of precedents on such occasion (although a regular part of Parish procedure) he proposed to raffle it afterwards for the Appeal funds- subject, of course to consent of the Meeting, which was freely given. (LATER) The Appeal benefitted by £164. 4. THE DIAMOND JUBILEE OF THE ASSOCIATION The President called on the selfless and hard-working Hon. Secretary, who had thought this one up, to outline the plans. Arthur Farrand Radley expressed the gratitude of the Executive Committee, and, he felt sure, of this Meeting to the Governing Body for having most generously offered to fund a Garden Party on the afternoon of Reunion Day, 29 June 1985, which was the nearest practical timing to commemorate the actual holding of the Constitutent Meeting of the Aularian Association on 21 April 1925. A Sub-committee had been set up by the Executive Committee, with power to eo-opt members of the Governing Body, a vital element in the operation. All members of the Association were invited to submit ideas to the Hon . Secretary: those received to date included Patrick de Courcy Meade's Pontigny Pageant: the Hon. Secretary's Exhibition of Aulariana including the Association's gifts of silver and portraits to the Hall: and the President's offer to tog up as Madame Arcati and discern a large donation imminent from each visitor to her tent. The President congratulated the Hon . Secretary on his major contributions to the Commemorative Supplement of the Jubilee in the 1983-83 Magazine: he had done much research and pestered everybody. The Hon. Secretary missed a trick in not responding immediately with a general vote of thanks to the President, whose last issue this was before handing over the Editorship to a successor to be appointed by the Governing Body: this matter has however been firmly carried forward.

5. HON . TREASURER' S REPORT AND ADOPTION OF THE ACCOUNTS Bob Breese presented the audited Accounts for the financial year ended 31 July 1984, which had been published in the 1983-84 Magazine for information in advance of this Meeting prior to formal adoption. Loose-leaf copies were also distributed by the Hon. Auditor John Paul. The Hon. Treasurer spoke to the salient points and drew particular attention to one item which took effect after the period concerned, namely the increase in Hall subscriptions from Michaelmas Term 1984, when they rose to, £3 per term after having been pegged at £2 since 1979. This extra income however would only just keep pace with foreseen expenditure, including some modest grants to the

Hall and provision for the next Directory scheduled for 1986, five years after the last in 1981: there would be nothing left to put into reserve. The President commended the Hon. Treasurer's firm grasp of our affairs and proposed, with due seconding, that the Balance Sheet and annexed Income and Expenditure Account for the financial year ended 31 July 1984, as audited , be adopted . This was agreed unanimously. 6. ELECTIONS: OFFICERS AND EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE On the nomination of the Executive Committee, no other nominations having been received and the candidates being willing to stand, the following elections and re-elections were then made unanimously:-

Hon. Secretary 1985 (one-year appointment)- H. A. F . Radley (re-elected) Hon. Treasurer 1985 (one-year appointment)- R. J . L.

THE LONDON DINNER THE 44th LONDON DINNER of the St Edmund Hall Association was held in the Ground Floor Restaurant at Simpson's-in-the-Strand on Tuesday, 8 January 1985. Of the 126 Aularians who accepted 14 were unfortunately prevented at the last moment from attending, mainly because of illness and the weather conditions. The guests of the Association were The Principal, the Revd Dr J. N. D. Kelly, Mr Geoffrey de Deney, J. T. G. Coutts, President of the M.C.R. and D. K. Reed, President of the J .C.R. The President warmly welcomed them all, remarking that now that the Principal and Mrs Gosling had left Abingdon for the revivified Principal's Lodgings the latter had become the very hub of civilisation. He paid special tribute to Mrs Gosling, who had graced our proceedings last year, for her interest in all matters horticultural and for playing an integral part in the Hall's Fire Alarm service. As for Dr Kelly, he needed no introduction, as the acclamations of all Aularians present, both young and old, soon showed. Graham Midgley then turned to his special guest, Geoffrey de Deney, the newly-appointed Clerk to the Privy Council with a direct line to Royalty and an ornate privy which he (Graham) had personally inspected that very morning in the Council's palatial

quarters in Whitehall. Mr de Deney's present eminence contrasted strangely with those carefree days more than thirty years before, when he and a number of kindred boisterous spirits, now of equal gravity, ruffled the decanal feathers with their antics on staircase 6. As for the N .S.E. Appeal, the President was able to report on a momentous year. Since he sat in the Tent of the Covenant at the 1984 Summer Reunion the proceeds had more than doubled from ÂŁ80,000 to over ÂŁ180,000. He had visited Canada, where he had been bountifully received and entertained in suitably Aularian fashion at a party organised by Harry Girling (matric. 1937) in Toronto. He had followed up his contacts in the U.S.A. There remained, however, many areas in the U.K. which were ripe for treatment; Scotland (once full of Covenanters), Yorkshire, Lancashire , Durham and Essex among others. He paid tribute, too, to all those who had helped to organise parties on behalf of the Appeal; to the Principal and R. A. Farrand in Exeter and to our eminent cricket and rugger stars Mike Smith and Peter Rob bins in the West Midlands. He did not forget the efforts of all those helpers in the field who attended the Appeal Conference in March 1984 at the Hall. He then touched on the celebration of the Association's Diamond Jubilee in 1985, with particular reference to the Garden Party to be held at the Hall on 29 June. He was hoping to assume the mantle of Madame Arcati and receive in his tent large contributions to the Appeal from his eager clients. Finally, the President dilated upon the joys of being an Emeritus Fellow, in his eyes a sort of academic lotus-eater, and sat down to well-deserved applause. The Principal replied by saying that he would start with the worst news. Mr Philip Morsberger ha.d resigned his post as Master of the Ruskin School to take up a chair in Fine Art in the U.S.A., while Dr Stuart Blarney had also moved on. He had, however, been happy to welcome Dr Susan Hurley, the first woman Fellow of All Souls, who had joined the Hall as Fellow and Tutor in Philosophy in the almost impossible job of following himself. Dr David Phillips and Stephen Flood, a recent graduate of the Hall, had both been appointed Fellows by Special Election. Stephen Flood had also been responsible for organising, under the auspices of the Covent Garden Minuet Company, who gave their services free, the very successful Minuet Ball held at the Hall on 24 November 1984. Our revered President had appeared there masquerading as an eighteenth-century cleric, and the N.S.E . Appeal had benefitted from a generous share of the proceeds of the Ball. In the world of sport the Hall had won the Rugby Union Cuppers, the Rugby League seven-a-sides and the Hockey Cuppers. The John Oldham Society and the Music Society had both given performances of exceptional interest. On television the Hall had beaten Christ Church in 'University Challenge', while Peter Bates had become Radio' s Brain of Britain. The tree in the front quadrangle (shades of ABE's ' robinia') was to be replaced for the third time, and old members were now to be dated by their tree generation. The Bursar had ordered a new lawn for the quadrangle, no doubt on the Queen's Park Rangers pattern, designed to baffle incursions by visitors. The reactions of Graham Midgley's dog William and the latter's equally ebullient friend Eric are not recorded. Dr Kelly then rose to his feet. Some of the guests, he said, were looking younger and some markedly older. He couldn't always attach a name to a face now, but he assured us that he rememberd all our delinquencies. Your Principal, he went on, has delivered himself of such an admirable speech; but one only to be expected of an enfant terrible of a surrogate womb! On this further topical note

the Hall (as represented at the dinner), still on its Dream Ticket, descended happily once again to the Smoking Room Bar. During the evening a glass goblet engraved with a scene of the front quadrangle by the Domestic Bursar, Rear-Admiral G. C. Leslie (no mean craftsman in his spare time), was raffled on behalf of the N.S .E. Appeal and raised the very respectable sum of ÂŁ164.

Trinity Term GROSSMAN Secretary:

PAUL MARKWICK

Ladies Boat Club Captain: CA THY BROWN Vice Captain: Jo Cox Steward: SEAN HODGES Treasurer: JONATHAN LARKIN The rowing year began in early Michaelmas Term with Autumn Fours and success for our entry in the junior category, Stuart Worthington, Andrew Ballsdon, Niall Haigh and Mick Jenkins reaching the finals in this event. Seventh week brought the main event of the term, Christchurch regatta. The First VIII was clearly the fastest crew on the river, but we were unfortunately drawn against a strong Oxford Poly. crew in the semi-final, who went on to win the event. The women's VIII, hampered by peculiar entry requirements, were left floundering in the Senior Category, and the novice crews failed to do as well as we had hoped. In Hilary Term the absence of many of our more experienced oarsmen made the task of the 1st Torpid a daunting one. During five weeks of training they improved greatly despite the atrocious conditions in the icy windswept wastes of Godstow. On the day they failed to row up to their ability, but even so they were unlucky to end the week at the top of the second division. The women's 1st Torpid went into the final day three bumps up and although they rapidly caught up on Queen's, they just failed to win their blades. Trinity Term brought summer Eights with a distinct lack of summer. Even so, by the end of first week over 130 members of college were actively involved in Hall rowing, some complete novices, some more experienced. Fresh from their successes in the Parks came the Heavyweight and Rugby VIII's. At over 14 stone per person the Heavyweights were a welcome addition to the Club, thought the 3rd VIII shell will never be quite the same again. The Rugby VIII showed a degree more finesse, though it could never quite decide whether to remain a Hall crew or affiliate with Pembroke Ladies Boat Club! Sally's Eight fared somewhat better than either of these, but the M.C.R. VIII was the most successful novice crew, narrowly missing qualifying. The men's First VIII, acknowledged the fastest off the start, if not the best boat on the river, were subject to misfortune throughout the week. Bad poling on the first day denied them a start. Bad luck in the shape of a mammoth crab on the third day robbed them of Oriel despite an overlap, and on the last day a very fast University College crew caught us before we could send Oriel down a further place. The second VIII fared better, playing havoc with the sterns of Pembroke II and Mansfield, and narrowly missing that of Lincoln II in front of the Boathouse. The Third VIII, a very competent crew, rowed well below the form they were capable of showing. It was a year of misfortune for the women's First VIII, being deprived of their first day's bump and dropped two places by an unsympathetic O.U.B.C. for a bung-line infringement. Any hopes of blades were thus dashed, and though they ended the week where they had started, it was clear that they deserved much better.

Perhaps the biggest success was that of the women's Second VIII. In first week of term their appearance in Eights seemed unlikely, but they improved so much and so rapidly that not only did they qualify, but they did so as one of the fastest boats, fast enough to row over on the final day ahead of a far more experienced University College VIII, thus denying them their blades. Two weeks later at the Oriel Regatta a much improved M.C.R. VIII won through to the second round of the Novices VIII's, and a formidable mixed VIII had a well earned win, a boat which could have made mincemeat of the Blues Boat let alone the other 30 or so entries in the category. Jo Cox won in the Women's Sculls and Paul Markwick in the Men's Novice Sculls. Congratulations also to Stuart Worthington who won the O .U .B.C. Lightweight Sculling head in this Trinity Term. Though our First VIII did not go Head of the River this year, nor our Women's First VIII win their blades, the fact that over a third of the college were actively involved in Hall rowing in Trinity Term is surely another sort of success in itself. There is still some Hall spirit left, and much of it finds expression in the Boat Club. Our best thanks go to all who helped this year, the rowers, the coxes, the coaches- especially those old Aularians who came back to give us their experienced advice and encouragement and criticism, Mike Pelham and Hugh Thomas in particular- to St. Edward's School for allowing us to use their boathouse during the Godstow period of our training, and to all those who in fine weather and foul encouraged us from the bank.

THE RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB

Captain: S. BASKETI (Cuppers) A. LEE (League) Secretary: N. YEUNG

THIS SEASON has been one of our most successful, with victories in the league before Christmas, and in the Cuppers tournament after. The League team, ably and dedicatedly captained by Andy Lee, were unbeaten in all their matches and conceded only one try. This feat was repeated by the Cuppers side which won an exciting and entertaining Final against a strong University College side, 24 points to 6. The college managed to field two full teams throughout the season, but this is becoming an increasingly difficult task, and it can only be hoped that players maintain their enthusiasm to make it possible to continue this outstanding rugby record. It only remains to thank the Secretary N. Yeung for all his hard work, and to wish Hall teams the same success in the coming season. S.B.

THE CRICKET CLUB

Captain: ANDY MARSHALL

Secretary: SIMON BAKER

THIS SEASON has been one of great success for Hall cricket, truly reflecting the strength and depth of the available talent. For the first time a 2nd XI was entered in Cuppers, an event celebrated by a 1st round victory, thanks largely to a fine century by Justin Smith. A hundred by Dave Hagan in the semi guided the 1st XI into Cuppers Final, which alas we failed to win. The most consistent batsman, averaging over 65, has been next year's Captain, Jeremy Atkinson, who also made an invaluable 98 in the mud and rain of the quarter final against Oriel. 41

Whilst our batting line-up is perhaps without parallel in college cricket, the bowling, however, has consisted mainly of a battery of fast-medium seamers, which, although well suited to 40-over Cuppers fixtures, does little for the aesthetic aspects of the game! Relief can be found in the talented leg-spin and googly bowling of Dominic Hogg. Despite the stereotyped nature of our attack on paper, there has been no lack of variety in where the ball has pitched, thus testing our aptly-named wicket-keeper, Robbie Constant. Again for the first year a team of Hall ladies has taken the field under the indomitable Claire Bray, much to the regret of St. Peter's on, appropriately enought perhaps, Cup Final afternoon. The abiding impression of the term has been how everyone from Blues Captain down to first-time cricketer has contributed and enjoyed doing so. The Teddy Bears, captained by Simon Baskett, have picnicked happily around the playing fields of Oxford, victorious as ever with their own special brand of the finest game. Finally congratulations to all those who have represented the Blues and the Authentics; all who have taken the field this term; Claire the ever willing scorer and general overseer; and lastly to the over-worked secretary, Simon Baker, in a post which will always be fraught with problems until, that is, we can at last find our own home ground ... A.N.M. THE ATHLETICS CLUB Captain: R. A. SAWYER

ENTHUSIASM FOR the Athletics Cuppers Final ensured that we had a stronger team than in the Heats in Hilary Term, when we just scraped into the Final after Dominic Hogg's brilliant performance in the 4 X 400 metres relay. On the day of the Final, our performances fluctuated- at times we were in the lead; on one occasion we were fifth out of six. We eventually finished second behind Exeter, the team which beat us in the heats. Nevertheless, there were some outstanding performances, particularly Max Welby in the Hammer, Richard Glynn in the Discus, and Richard Kent who either won or came second in all the jumping events. John Risman excelled in the Javelin, and Andy Barnard narrowly missed winning the Shot Put. A high turn out of Hall supporters made the climax of the day particularly exciting as we had a chance of winning up to the penultimate event, the 4 x 100 relay. Inspired by the noise of enthusiastic support, the Hall at least ensured Victory over the favourites, Balliol. Next year's Captain will be Simon Baskett. R.A.S. THE SQUASH CLUB Captain: T. CHRISTOPHERSON

Secretary: S. R. BAKER

THE 1984-5 SEASON saw the squash club turning in an uncharacteristically inconsistent performance. Michaelmas term ended with both teams respectably placed about mid-way in their respective divisions. Hilary term, however, was a different matter, due primarily to an almost total lack of enthusiasm in some players to get their matches played. As a result, the close of the term saw both teams struggling to avoid relegation, which they both fortunately achieved, but only by the narrowest of margins .

On a brighter note, both teams fared rather well in Cuppers. The 1st team reached the quarter final before succumbing to a very strong Queen's side, while the 2nd team disposed of a formidable Wolfson side before going down to a surprisingly good Balliol team. The side has been strengthened by 1st year Justin Smith whose superior fitness and all-round play have ensured him of the college no.1 spot. Rob O'Keeffe, the other 1st year in the squad, has performed particularly well for the 2nd team. Of our trusted M.C.R. contingent, the old-stagers, Leigh Lawson, Dave Rees and Stephen Flood have been joined by Stan Hum, Richard Phelps and the hardhitting Hamish Stevenson, ensuring that the college tradition of strength-in-depth at squash has been maintained. Thanks go particularly to Tom Christopherson as we wish him a happy retirement, and all those other players who have turned out to represent the Hall. Next year's Captain will be Simon Baker, and the Secretary Justin Smith. S.R.B. THE TENNIS CLUB Captain: WARREN THOMAS

Secretary: MARTIN GLEN

TENNIS THIS Trinity term has been ruined by inclement weather. The League has not been completed and it seems unlikely that it will be decided by anything other than random calculation. In the Cuppers competition we were narrowly defeated in a high quality match by the no. 2 seeds, New College. My grateful thanks to Mike Young, our resident Blue for adding strength to the team on that day. Also my thanks go to the motley crew who turned up with monotonous regularity, Martin Glen, Mark Triggs, Steve Fries and Steve Waygood. Within the college, the first ever S.E.H. mixed doubles Tournament was held and, despite delays, proved a great success. Congratulations to Robbie Constant and Jane Bristowe for defeating Andy Halliday and Alison McCormick in a final well attended by myself. May the sun shine on the next Hall Captain, Steve Waygood . W.T. THE LADIES TENNIS CLUB Captain: CHRISTINE MUSKETT

THIS SEASON was severely hampered by bad weather, but we managed to play all our league matches with considerable success, the result being a prospect of promotion for next summer. Our Cuppers run was unfortunately ended by Balliol in the second round . Many thanks to all who played, with apologies for all the re-scheduling of times and venues at short notice. C.J.M. THE LADIES CROSS COUNTRY AND ATHLETICS CLUB Captains: LIZ MA YBURY

KA TE HEALD

BOTH OF THESE teams were unlucky not to win a Cuppers Dinner in 1985. The Cross Country Team finished third and the Athletics team finished an unfortunate second, having suffered a disqualification in the final relay. Winning performances in Athletics came from Liz Bliss (3000 mts.), Cathy Finucane (200

mts.), and Liz Maybury (High Jump). In Cross Country, Melissa Mazan, Liz Bliss and Sarah Ferguson all ran creditably to make up our scoring team. We look forward to better fortune next year, and we should do well if enthusiasm remains high . L.M. K.H. THE SWIMMING AND WATER POLO CLUB

Swimming Captain: M. C. WALTERS

Water Polo Captain: R. J. MACALISTER

A CHANGED FORMAT for swimming Cuppers led to the men losing the cup for the first time in a number of years , only managing to come fourth. The women did well to come second in their half of the competition, and Angie Jones now holds the women's Cuppers records. The Hall fielded a mixed team for the first time in Water polo Cuppers, with Liz Hollingworth scoring some vital goals. Tim Laughton played well in goal, coming out in the semi-final to score in the top corner. We won the competition as usual, beating St. John's 5- 1 in the final, which meant that Liz Hollingworth became the first woman to attend, and survive, a joint Rugby and Water polo Cuppers supper, an achievement in itself. Congratulations to Angie Jones for her swimming half-blue, and to Richard Macalister, who won half-blues in swimming and water polo, and was elected Captain of the University water polo Club for the 1985- 6 season. Finally, an old challenge cup has been found. The challenge is open to anyone in the Hall for a swimming race from O.U.B.C. to Donnington Bridge! Anyone interested should accept this invitation to organise this event, in which Aularians seem to have participated since the 60's. M.C.W. (Editor's note: I well remember these races in which often about 20 men swam, with the Dean leading the race in a rowing boat to ward off marauding swans, and to rescue any casualties. I have many photos of these races, and would be glad to see this event added to our Trinity Term sporting fixtures again.)

THE HOCKEY CLUB Captains: KATE HEALD MARKTRIGGS Secretaries: CHRISTINE MUSKETT ANDY MARSHALL

The facts:

Ladies reached the quarter finals in Cuppers. The mixed team didn't get quite so far! Men won the Cuppers final 2-1 in a mundane match against Lincoln, which didn't really surprise Mark . They also won the League, of course.

The fun:

The superlative performance of Cheng 'Pads' Tan in goal against Worcester. Andy Steane's glasses at the Club Dinner. The Principal's appreciation of Mark's 'vulgar' tie at the Cuppers dinner. Steve Whyte's 'off-the-field' captaincy in Cuppers.

The fiction: Martin Glenn's 'vice-captaincy'. Andy Marshalllosing the balls.

Jeremy Atkinson making a pass!? Christine Muskett leaving all members of the opposition intact. Lorraine Wild missing a tackle and swearing. Tim Laughton saving a goal. That's all for this year, folks. Good luck to next year's executive, Louise, Sally, 'Grim' Neil, Rob and Andy (vice-captain!) K.H. and M.T. THE CROQUET CLUB Junior Captain: ALASTAIR SHARP THE ONLY REPORTED activity of the term was a notable challenge match against the S. C.R. Captained by Dr. Christopher Phelps a team consisting of Dr. Collins, the Domestic Bursar and the Dean turned out on the lawn of Norham St. Edmund on Wednesday of the seventh week. They were utterly defeated by the Junior Members' skill and by the Bursar's wine. Pleasant cheese snacks were served by attractive Hallpersons of the female variety, and the solitary egg hurled from some upper storey room not only missed, but even failed to break! P.J.C. THE ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL CLUB Captain: M. J. DISNEY Secretary: T. FALLOWFIELD 2nd Team Captain: D. WALMSLEY THIS SEASON WAS one of unfulfilled potential, in which a useful first year influx was blessed with a mixture of talent and apathy, with a general lack of motivation proving a stumbling block. Tired and emotional players occasionally arrived at 2.10 for a 2.15 match, and the effort to reproduce the successes of the past two years foundered upon the rocks of misfortune and inexplicable league defeats against inferior opposition. Selection problems were a constant source of anguish as we slumped to 4th in the league. Teddy Hall began as the bookies' favourite for Cuppers. Once again we entered four teams, their ranks swelled by the arrival of Crummet, Gazidis, Jones and Bewlay from University duty. However, Blain and Disney encountered disciplinary problems, Hagan's goal-scoring touch vanished, and sadly the old guard of Hart, Jones and Mendlesohn, with their curious mixture of distressing incompetence and studied brilliance was never quite enough. St. John's, the old enemy, following a 5-0 league thrashing, once again proved too good on the day, and we exited 3-2 in the quarter finals. The annual dinner was a success, although nobody is really sure. Finally the outgoing crew wish next year's Captain, portly Bruce Major, all the best in his search for 11 good first years and a successful season. M.J.D. THE HILARIANS RUGBY CLUB Captain: G. PEARSON Played 8

Won 6

Secretary: M. HAFTKE

Lost 2

For 189

Against 62

ONCE AGAIN the Hilarians have gone onto the field to play attractive and crowdpulling rugby. Indeed the Australians saw a video of our match against Worcester 45

II and adapted their game accordingly. The usual combinations of players selected from the various levels of Oxford Rugby- the Blues, 1st and 2nd team college players, and the Buttery -have added panache and colour to an otherwise miserable season for England. Undoubted highlights were a notable victory over Lady Margaret Hall (even when one of our players was sent to hospital before the match started) and an exhilerating win over the Polytechnic. The player of the year for me- even though John Clark played tolerably well- was Bill Symes who capped an impressive season by embarrassing Richard Luddington in the Old Hilarians game. Match days are remembered for the inevitable plucking of innocent victims from the Front Quad to make up a team, and the equally inevitable question, betraying a certain trepidation on the part of the interrogater- 'Is John Clark playing?' G.P. THE RUGBY LEAGUE CLUB

Captain: JOHN SHARPLES

Secretary: THE UNDERWORKED CAPTAIN

THE RUGBY LEAGUE team re-asserted the Hall' s dominance in this event last season. A surprisingly easy passage to the final was followed by an emphatic 32-12 win over Queen's. Another successful season will secure the Cuppers Cup for the Hall on a permanent basis. The college was again well represented in the University side. Congratulations toP. Romaine, C. Bowers, J. Risman and J. Sharples for winning half-blues in the 8- 6 defeat of Cambridge at Headingley, Leeds. The Captain sincerely hopes someone genuinely interested in Rugby League will come forward and relieve him of his crown next season after two years of devoted service. Playing League at any level does not affect your chances of success in Union, and it is hoped enough enthusiasts come forward to maintain the Hall's strength in this sport. J.E.S. THE BADMINTON CLUB

Captain and Secretary: DAVID WOODHEAD THE 1984-5 SEASON was even more disappointing than last year. Out of last season's team four players had either gone down or were ineligible, and the League team found that a nucleus of two or three players was insufficient to prevent them being relegated to the second division of the intercollegiate league. Cuppers proved to be equally unfruitful, where our lack of strength in depth was again exposed in a 6- 3 defeat at the hands of Lincoln. On the University front a half-blue was awarded to David Heaps. THE BRIDGE CLUB

Captain: T ARQUIN GROSSMAN THIS YEAR THE Bridge Club managed to raise a record-breaking 14 teams for Cuppers, 56 players in all. The rise in quantity was not accompanied by a fall in quality, and most teams managed to win at least one match. The first team of Tarquin Grossman, Ian McEwen, Nick Hall-Palmer and Darren Rawlings narrowly failed to realise their potential, eventually losing at the quarter final stage.

The following were awarded English Bridge Union Master Points for their efforts: lan McEwen, Tarquin Grdssman, Darren Rawlings, Nick Hall-Palmer, Simon Freethy, Gavin Erasmus, Dave Davies, Justin Smith, Peter Latimer, Guy Brazendale, Roger Sawyer, Sara Holmes, Claire Minchington, Angela Jones, Charlie Hawley and Tom Learner. T.G. THE MUSIC SOCIETY

President: CHRISTINE MUSKETT

Secretary: RICHARD JOHNS

THIS YEAR HAS seen the formation of the S.E.H. Choral Society, under the excellent direction of Tim Hooper. The first concert was given in Michaelmas Term in the University Church, and consisted of three works by Faun~. For the Requiem the chorus was accompanied by the Oxford Sinfonietta, which also played the Pavane and the Cantique de Jean Racine. Following this initial success, a slightly more ambitious programe was chosen for the second concert, given in Queen's College Chapel- Mozart's Symphony no. 29 and Haydn's 'Nelson' mass. Despite a disappointingly philistine lack of response from members of the Hall, this performance was also deemed a great success. Following amalgamation with Merton's Kodaly Choir, the concert in Trinity term included Mozart's Vespers and Handel's Zadok the Priest. This concert was well supported. Termly college concerts remain the basis of the Music Society's activities. A wide variety of styles of music have been performed with considerable expertise, and greatly appreciated by enthusiastic audiences . Similarly diverse lunchtime concerts have also been given and fairly well supported. Many thanks to all those who have volunteered, been cajoled and otherwise encouraged to contribute to the activity of this thriving cultural Hall society. C.J.M. THE JOHN OLDHAM SOCIETY President: R. A. SAWYER Treasurer: A . DUFFY

THE J.O.s. HAS had a reasonably eventful if not too profitable a year. Michaelmas term got off to a good start with one of the S.E.H. entries in the Cuppers Drama Competition reaching the Final. The same term saw two major productions backed by J .O.S. Simon Hart directed 'Ashes' in the Burton Rooms. This was one of the best production I have seen in Oxford, but it was unfortunately rather poorly attended. Oxford missed out on a well acted and alternatively coldly witty and depressing play. J .O.S. lost considerable funds . Better attended was Tom Burgess's adaptation of 'The Little Prince' in the Old Dining Hall, but sadly, owing to poor budgeting, J.O .S. again lost some funds . Halfway through Trinity term Kay Langdale decided to put on two Beckett plays 'Eh Joe' and 'Not I' on a very low budget. This was done in the Crypt at the end of seventh week and proved to be both financially successful and well appreciated. The two plays may shortly be available on video. Projects for the future include Jean Genet's 'Death Watch', Peter Nicholl's: 'A Day in the Death of Joe Egg' and Ben Johnson's 'The Alchemist'. Our thanks to Amalgamated Clubs for their willingness to lend us money from time to time in order to ease the strain of initial outlay. R.A.S.

THE CHRISTIAN UNION

Leaders: TiM SMITH and JONATHAN LARKIN THE YEAR HAS been one of growing enthusiasm for many of the Christians in the Hall, with two main times of encouragement. The first of these was at the start of the year when more than ten freshers joined us to replace a similar number of our members who had left the Hall the previous term. The second highlight was the Christian Union mission in February. Many events were held in the University and colleges and at least three Hall men and women became Christians. J.P.A .L.

There have been many other generous gifts to the library, and we would like to record our thanks to Graham Midgley for completing the run of The Annual Register with the volumes for 1758- 1814, which will join the 1815-1858 volumes which he gave in 1981, and also for giving many books for the English literature section from his own collection. Andrew Peacock (1972) and the Morgan Guaranty Trust of New York have repeated their past generosity and have given sums of money for the purchase of books on International Relations: we are very grateful to them for these. Our grateful thanks also to Dr. R. T. C. Worsley (1929) for sending us yet more books for the Emden Collection; a collection which is rare not only for the interest of its contents, which range from U.S. naval history, espionage, history of the first and second World Wars, to maps and documents on the early history of America, and many other works of considerable interest to future historians, but also for coming to us from west to east across the Atlantic, which is an unusual and most welcome way round. We also thank Mr. A. K. Barton (1929) for giving an interesting and potentially valuable collection of stamps; the Rev. P. H. Rogers ( 1932) for a 30 year run of Encounter, with a promise of current volumes as they appear; Dr. D. G. Phillips (Fellow) for giving a complete run and the current numbers of the Oxford Review of Education; and to Mr P. F. Barter (1951) for a large number of geography books.
