ST EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE VQL. XIII. No. 1

October 1986 EDITOR: D. I. SCARGILL

Graham Midgley has finally succeeded in retiring as Editor of the Magazine it is possible to pay tribute to what he has done, and continues to do, for the Hall. In the past such praise has been heavily censored, but the inhibitions of editorial modesty are now put aside and his successor would like to acknowledge, on behalf of all Aularians, the enormous debt that we owe to Graham.

Amongst the many things for which we must thank him is the revival of the Appeal under his Presidency of the St. Edmund Hall Association. Rumour has it that he became Chaplain of St. Hugh's only to spy on the success of their Appeal. If a College that has existed for a hundred years can raise two millions, why should we, with seven hundred and fifty years of history behind us, be content with ÂŁ300,000? Your Association thinks we should not and has asked me to emphasize the importance, amongst other things, of remembering the Hall in your will. The article on the Hall's endowment which appears in this edition of the Magazine should also be of special interest and concern to all old members.

Most contributors to the Magazine are rewarded by having their names or initials after what they have written. But there are unsung heroes too and I should like to offer special thanks to those whose names do not appear but who, nevertheless, make a big contribution: the College Secretary Carol McClure, the Principal's Secretary Mary Boak, and the Bursar's Secretary Pauline Linieres.

Thanks also to my wife without whose typing and other help the loss of time to Long Vac research would have been greater than two, or was it three, weeks.

NOW THAT

FROM THE PRO-PRINCIPAL IT IS SELDOM that a fellow of an Oxford college has an opportunity of sampling the 'delights' of being a temporary head of house.

When the Principal, Justin Gosling, was granted sabbatical leave for Hilary and Trinity Terms this year it was necessary to appoint a

Pro-Principal to carry out his duties. As Vice-Principal I was an obvious target for this office. I had, during my years as a fellow, served on nearly all the college committees but had not of course experienced an overall view of the Hall. This has proved to be both extremely interesting and rewarding. My colleagues have been kindness itself and highly tolerant of my efforts when chairing Governing Body and other committee meetings. I found thar it was necessary to have what I might term a grasshopper mind, particularly when taking coffee after lunch, a favourite time for fellows to corner the Principal and ask his opinion on various college matters, with quite a lengthy queue forming on occasions.

The Principal knew just when to take his leave since he presides at all meetings of each committee appointed to interview candidates for new fellowships. In Hilary Term we seemed to be appointing new fellows every week, in fact the Principal will have the pleasure of admitting six new fellows at the first G.B. meeting next term, this will include two Canon Jenkins Junior Research Fellows.

Negotiations have been proceeding rapidly over the purchase of the Isis Hotel; this will give us about forty new rooms for undergraduates, bringing us somewhere near the average for the University. At the same time it will give the Bursar an insight into the bed and breakfast trade for a three month period each summer; this was one of the city requirements before they would allow the hotel to be used for undergraduate accommodation. No doubt, we shall be in full occupation by the time the Magazine appears. When next you wish to relive some of your Oxford experiences or bring your family to sample the delights of Oxford, you will know where to apply for accommodation.

Recently I have been suffering from writer's cramp, replying with thanks to those of you who have so kindly responded to your President's 'rude' letter. This of course was not sent to those of you who had previously contributed to the N.S.E. appeal. The response has been fantastic, and I feel that if and when he sends out his final shot, as he has threatened, then we will probably reach the target of ÂŁ300,000, It would appear that we might again have had a successful academic year. At the time of writing, when only the Science and Maths schools have announced their results, we have already obtained nine Firsts. I know from the number of Cuppers suppers that I have attended that we have done well on the sporting field.

In this context the women should be congratulated¡ on their endeavours.

I have always considered the Hall to be a very happy society, 2

with relations between junior and senior members that could not be bettered by any other Oxford college. This opinion has been amply reinforced by my two terms as Pro-Principal when I have had the opportunity of meeting, entertaining and talking to the majority of our junior members. I only hope that I have left the Hall in as good heart as that in which I found it.

Joe Todd THE PRINCIPAL AND FELLOWS THE PRINCIPAL has been on sabbatical leave for two terms (Hilary

and Trinity 1986), spending part of this time in the United States.

Dr. J. D. Todd was appointed the Hall's first-ever Pro-Principal, to act during the Principal's absence. He, in turn, was succeeded as Vice-Principal by Dr. R. B. Mitchell who will serve until the date of his retirement in September 1987.

Mr R. E. Alton has continued to edit The Review of English Studies, and to be Chairman of the Committee for the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art, and to be a member of the Oxford and Cambridge Schools Examination Board.

Dr. P. J. Collins gave an invited address at the 1986 Italian Topology Conference in Trieste in June. During 1986-87 he will be Visiting Research Professor in Mathematics at the College of William and Mary in Virginia.

The Revd. H. E. J . Cowdrey has been elected Chairman of the Henry Bradshaw Society.

Mr. J. P. D. Dunbabin was Chairman of the Social Studies Board 1984-86. He retired as the College's Investment Bursar in 1985. In October 1986 he helped organize and contributed a paper to a conference on 'Marco Minghetti e la cultura politica Europea' in Bologna. ¡ Professor P. F. Ganz is Fellow in Residence at the Herzog August Bibliothek in W olfehbuttel, West Germany. He also has the title of 'Honorarprofessor' at the University of Gottingen. The Governing Body elected Professor Ganz to an Emeritus Fellowship in October 1985.

Mr. A. I. Marsh has been awarded the Library Association's Besterman Medal (see Honours and Awards).

Dr. R. B. Mitchell has been given permission by the Board of the Faculty of English Language and Literature to supplicate for the Degree of Doctor of Letters. He has also been awarded a doctoral degree, honoris causa, by the University of Turku in Finland.

The ceremonies connected with the award at Turku extended over two days, 22 and 23 May 1986. Recipients of honorary doctorates are presented with swords which are 'sharpened with old grindstones belonging to the university and wet with champagne'. The conferment of the degree took place in the City Concert Hall and was followed by a gala dinner at Turku Castle.

Dr. D. G. Phillips was on sabbatical leave in Hilary Term and spent time at several German universities. In April he visited Hungary under the auspices of the British Council and in May gave a paper on 'Tradition and Reform of the English University' at a colloquium in Heidelberg in connection with the celebrations of that university's 600th anniversary. The Leverhulme Trust has funded, to the tune of ÂŁ84,250, a research project to be directed by him on diversification of first foreign language teaching in British schools.

Dr. D. I. Scargill was Chairman of the Anthropology and Geography Board 1983-85. He is a member of the Juvenile Panel of the City Bench.

Dr. N. J. Stone spent the summer of 1986 visiting New Zealand, Australia and India, giving invited plenary session papers at two international conferences together with colloquia and research seminars.

Dr. A. B. Worden has been absent on a Radcliffe Research Fellowship (awarded 1985- 87). He gave the Winston Churchill Foundation Lecture at Bristol in March 1986 on 'Milton's Republicanism'.

THE SENIOR COMMON ROOM DR. ROBERT JOHN MUIR HUGHES took office as Official Fellow and Tutor in Computation on October 1985 but subsequently resigned in order to take up a Chair in the University of Glasgow.

THE GOVERNING BODY

PERCY JAMBS PERCY JAMES has retired- to the great regret of us all. The regard in which he was (and is) held was perhaps never better signalled 5

than by the standing ovation he received when he was guest of honour at the Old Members' Reunion in June this year.

I first met Percy when we played cricket for Oxfordshire- but, of course, he wasn' t just a prodigious leg-spinner (and on demand a sharp in-swinger). He was the complete all-rounder: a Welsh amateur international footballer, a professional footballer for Luton Town and City, a boxer, a County table-tennis player, a fine performer at tennis and squash (continually in demand to provide exacting opposition for the fellows). Above all he was a great

Mr. Percy lames 6

player-manager, someone with a genius for getting a side on the ground in the most adverse circumstances. It was this quality which in 1958 made us start to persuade him to leave his job as Manager of Oxford City F.C. and come to the Hall as Steward.

He was invaluable. The 'conference business', without which the College would not have been financially viable, was rapidly increasing, and much of the burden, outside the kitchen, of servicing these new demands fell on Percy. He cheerfully responded to all demands: late changes, cancellations, additions, new dates, new times, anything, including acting as chauffeur to Heathrow for the Senior Tutor. Nothing was too much trouble for him, and he became as popular with our visitors as he was with junior and senior members of St. Edmund Hall. I do not know what I, as Bursar, would have done without him, and his constant support and help.

I am sure that all readers of the Magazine will want to wish the Welsh Wizard and his family a happy .r:etirement. He was both Player and Gentleman: a player and worker with professional skill and a true gentleman from the toes of his boots to the tip of his spinning finger.

R. E. Alton

A FIFTY YEARS CELEBRATION ON WEDNESDAY 15 JANUARY 1986 the Pro-Principal (Dr J. D. Todd) and Fellows entertained Mr and Mrs Cyril Anslow to lunch in the Old Dining Hall to celebrate Cyril's fifty years of service with the Hall. After speeches by Dr Todd and Mr Alton, the Bursar gave a researched resume of Cyril's career in the Royal Navy, and then Dr Kelly proposed the toast to Cyril and Ethel, recalling that he had married them and that he had almost no friends of such long standing as they. When their health had been drunk, Cyril responded in reminiscent and characteristically witty vein. Joining the Hall in 1935 as an assistant in the lower buttery, he has filled over the years an exceptional variety of roles- in the upper buttery, the Lodge, on staircases, as messenger, tending the boilers, helping with special functions in the Principal's Lodgings (where he first met his future wife), acting as butler successively to Dr Emden and Dr Kelly, and finally presiding over the cellar as an expert wine-steward since 1979. Throughout World War Il, as the Bursar revealed, he served as Captain's valet in H.M.S. 'Antelope', a destroyer which was constantly involved between 7

1940 and 1944 in hazardous operations (including the Malta convoys and the invasions of N. Africa and Sicily) but, unlike most of its class, was never sunk. In his unusually long and busy career Cyril has made thousands of Aularian friends, and their affectionate good wishes to him and Ethel are united with those of the Pro-Principal and Fellows.

GIFTS TO THE COLLEGE REFERENCE wAS made in the last Magazine to an expected bequest from the estate of an old member, Mr. A. C. Cooper. The gift has now been received and amounts to a little over £265,000. Arthur Cooper, who lived at Led bury in Herefordshire, appears to have spent only a year at the Hall, when he studied English. The Governing Body felt that it was appropriate to use the bequest to finance a tutorial fellowship in English and Dr. Lucy Newlyn is the first holder of the A. C. Cooper Fellowship.

In recent years Dr. Frederick Brockhues has increased his support for senior scholarships awarded to graduate students and the Governing Body has found it possible to award no fewer than 10 Brockhues Senior Scholarships, in both Science and the Arts, for the year 1986-87. In addition, Dr. Brockhues has made a generous gift of £100,000 to the Hall for use in connection with the provision of student accommodation. The Governing Body is most grateful for this gift at a time when every effort is being made to expand such accommodation and it has been agreed that Dr. Brockhues' name should be attached to one of the Hall's properties in Crick Road.

The Chevron Petroleum Company has given a further £2,000 to the fund for Geology students, raising the available capital to £7,000. This further gift has made it possible to extend the objects of the Chevron Fund to include Graduate Scholarships to the value of £200 with travel expenses of £50, open to graduates of St. Edmund Hall and of universities other than Oxford.

As the Magazine was going to press the Hall received a number of Greek and Roman antiquities, part of the collection of the late Mr. B. W. Cave-Browne-Cave which he bequeathed to the College. It is hoped to arrange for their exhibition and details of the gift will appear in a future edition of the Magazine.

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THE AGE OF walks is over. There was a time when both old and young used to haunt Bagley and Shotover every fine afternoon; now the once desired solitude is apt to become almost oppressive.

Seniors still walk, but they do not often get far; they have too much to do . Their afternoons are now occupied chiefly in changing existing institutions and in projecting new ones; a form of 9

recreation which in course of time becomes a passion, like the athletics of the juniors.

William Warde Fowler, 1885 (Severn House Publishers, 1985) In 1985-86, the Governing Body devoted many hours to revising the College By-laws.

Ed.

FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE J.C.R. 1986 HAS BEEN a fairly eventful year. The Hall's purchase of the Isis Hotel, and with it almost forty additional undergraduate and graduate rooms, means that we are now one of the best catered-for J .C.R.s in the University in terms of college-owned accommodation. It is the second substantial annexe that has come into St. Edmund Hall ownership inside six years and from now on a majority of undergraduates wishing to spend all three years in college accommodation will be able to do so- a far cry from the pre-1970 days (when Kelly and Emden were completed) that many of the old members I have met at various Aularian reunions have told me about. In those days you got one year in Hall and that was that (and you were lucky if you could rely on hot water).

This news came at a particularly welcome time, since living out of college has become ever more expensive in the last couple of years, averaging about ÂŁ28 per week before Bills in Oxford.

The year also saw severe government cuts in students benefits.

However, in stark contrast to many other colleges in which J.C.R.s have been in dispute with their S.C.R. over the forthcoming year's Battels agreement, our good relations with the S.C.R. were maintained in Teddy Hall by a process of reasonableness and compromise, and the settlement was at a rate well below that of inflation. I should like to thank Andy Gowans, my J.C.R. Steward, for his assistance in preparing the J.C.R.'s case in the annual minefield.

On the sporting front, fuller reports appear elsewhere, but I cannot fail to make some mention of the following Hall sides that won cuppers competitions (with apologies for any that I have overlooked): Rugby, Rugby VIIs, Rugby League, Hockey, Mixed Hockey and Darts. We also won the inaugural Lacrosse and Ballroom Dancing competitions as well as achieving Blades in Eights via our Ladies First VIII. Needless to say, where we failed 10

to win a competition our teams usually got at least as far as the semi-finals.

It is also refreshing to see the great number of Hall men and women involving themselves in activities outside Teddy Hall and we have made our mark in various University-wide areas, not all of them sporting.

J .C.R. meetings remain as unpolitical as ever and the interference of external student bodies such as O.U.S.U. and N.U .S., is kept to a thankful minimum. Though they claim to 'represent the needs of students' they are in truth an irrelevance, albeit a rather expensive one. The one attempt to introduce a contentious party political issue into a J.C.R. meeting this year, rather than leading to a J.C.R., boycott of Rupert Murdoch's News International newspapers, resulted in us taking an extra copy of The Sun, a fact which earned us a few column inches in that esteemed publication.

The final week of Trinity Term was overshadowed by the Olivia Channon tragedy, though from the Hall point of view I am happy to report that to the best of my knowledge there have been no incidents of drug-taking of this nature here.

St. Edmund Hall retains its deserved reputation as being a friendly outwardly-going college and I think I speak on behalf of the vast majority of its present inmates when I say how glad I am to be associated with the best college in Oxford.

Mark Field President FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE M.C.R. THE REPUTATION of the M.C.R. as one of the best, if not the best, in Oxford was confirmed by a number of graduates who transferred from other colleges and told us so. A number? Well at least two. This has led to a lobby to rename the M.C.R. the 'Brown Common Room' in honour of Mrs. K. Brown, the M.C.R. scout who this year celebrated her 20th anniversary at Teddy Hall. As always she gently took the President, Stan Hum, and the Steward, Graham Steele, and led them through the year.

Social events were a combination of old favourites and new departures: traditional wine and cheese evenings went with a more formal wine 'teaching'; end-of-term dinners were complemented by dinner exchanges with Brasenose and Magdalen; for those too cultured for the traditional(?) Superbowl party there were successful trips to the National Theatre and Royal Festival Hall in London.

11

To provide a physical foil to its frenzied intellectual activity the M.C.R. had both a soccer team and a cricket team. The cricket side had a record of one win and one loss. The powerful soccer side was denied an arena to display its extravagant skills; the record reads M.C.R. 0, Weather 6.

The run of non-English Presidents now stands at 8, with the election of Canadian Dan Weary as President for 1986- 87. Geoff Chatas will be the power behind the throne as Steward.

Stan Hum J.C.R. AND M.C.R. OFFICERS D. K. REED was President of the Junior Common Room during Hilary, Trinity and Michaelmas Terms 1985. When his term of office finished in December 1985, M. C. Field was elected President until the end of Michaelmas Term 1986. C. M. Bowers was Steward until Hilary Term 1985. A . J. Gowans was elected to succeed him and will serve until Hilary Term 1987. The Social Secretary, Miss M. R. McQuillan, was succeeded in office by A. J. Watson.

The M.C.R. officers for 1985-86 were A. S. Hurn, President, and G. Steele, Steward. They are succeeded by Dan Weary (President) and Geoff Chatas (Steward).

WATERCOLOUR OF THE HALL DURING !985- 86, members of St. Edmund Hall have had the opportunity of buying one of a limited series of 500 numbered and signed copies of Sir Hugh Casson's watercolour of the College. The watercolour is one of the first two (the other is Trinity College) in a series commissioned for the Citibank Series of Oxford and Cambridge Colleges which, in turn, commemorates Sir Hugh Casson's retirement from the Presidency of the Royal Academy of Arts, 1976-84. The view, of the front quad before 'the tree' was felled, is a very familiar one and it is delightfully painted in Sir Hugh's distinctive light touch.

OLYMPIAN FRED 'Olympian Fred shows his paces', the Oxford Mail reported on 9 December 1985 that the former Olympic athlete Fred Thompson, aged 83, had walked three-quarters of a ten-mile sponsored walk for guide dogs for the blind organized by local students. ¡ Fred took part in the Berlin Olympics of 1936 and is still a valued member of the college staff. We salute his achievements, past and present, and wonder how many of the Hall's undergraduate athletes know of his record.

UNDER THE TITLE

WILLIAM URRY MEMORIAL LECTURE William Urry Memorial Lecture was given in the Examination Schools at Oxford on 13 May 1986 by Professor Frank Barlow, Professor Emeritus of Medieval History in the University of Exeter. The subject was 'Thomas Becket and his Clerks'.

HIGH TECH HALL ever be accepted in Oxford? Do you believe that our natural conservatism will ever be disturbed? Let me assure you H.T. is coming but I hope the upheaval will be slight.

During the last three years several projects have been put in hand which bear on the topic and I have been involved in most of them. These projects include library automation, a new telephone and computer data network and a university-wide work station policy.

WILL 'HIGH TECH'

Library Automation After two years work, during the summer vacation we shall complete the commissioning of a library system for three faculty libraries in English, Modern Languages and Social Studies. The company chosen, O.CL.C. (U.K.) Ltd ., is totally committed to libraries and holds a very large database of bibliographic _ records. We shall be benefitting from this feature quite extensively. We hope that borrowing in these libraries will make use of this system from January 1987. One thing is already certain; we can show that the standard of catalogue maintained

by Oxford libraries is very varied, and it is our firm intention to arrange that searching the catalogue can be achieved conveniently from wherever you can reach a computer terminal- and that brings me to the second project ...

Telephone Systems On 12 January 1987, telephone numbers throughout all the University and Colleges will change, and a new system with a host of fascinating new features will be brought into service. The University has been rewired and the Hall will suffer this indignity during the summer. The system will allow for a computer terminal wherever there is now a telephone; the Hall will probably set aside a room and install personal computers and word processing equipment in it. The details are still a matter for discussion.

Two major features of this network may be of interest: direct dial in and computer networking. D.D.I. is a feature of the telephone system such that, given an extension number in College (or any department) you, from outside, can ring that instrument without any interference from receptionists, porters, secretarial staff or fellows. My only worry is keeping my number secret from the madding hoard of enquirers. Computer networking is not dissimilar: any terminal will be connected to switching equipment, run centrally by the Computing Service, and this will enable each to be used to communicate with any computer attached to that service. But this may not be in Oxford- it is already commonplace for some to send messages via electronic mail to colleagues countrywide and worldwide.

Library catalogues in Oxford, Cambridge, London and Washington or Ohio will be equally accessible; databases of scientific data will be available for interrogation by all from their desk.

Work Stations Simple terminals are cheap (ÂŁ250) but very limited. Despite all the promise of the previous paragraph it is very desirable to do most of your computer work locally, in your own machine. Word processing, simple sums, file editing are all best done without involving communications. But to achieve something better than a free-for-all the University is establishing a policy on the provision of local equipment. A target price of ÂŁ1,000 has been established and the specification includes 'I.B.M. compatibility'. So the College will, I hope, be purchasing some of this equipment and making it available, initially to graduates. As faculty 13

requirements change, undergraduates may also find it necessary to use this sort of equipment but that is not yet clear.

The above is a brief overview of H.T. in Oxford. If any of you want to know more or would like to assist in some way please get in touch with me. A letter is the best way to start with but Oxford 56721 will often find me (until next year makes that number useless).

C. E. Phelps THE OLYMPIAN BALL took the Greek Gods as its theme. A mighty 10-foot statue of Zeus was suspended from the ceiling of the Wolfson Hall. A remarkable replica of Venus de Milo surrounded by lustrous drapes transformed the J.C.R. The front quad was smothered in the yellow flowers of the Elysian Fields and was graced with doric columns and ivy. One portion of 'Hades Hot House', the cabaret tent in the graveyard, raged with flames throughout the night. Celestial suggestions floated from each of the nine entertainment venues.

Following the established tradition of Hall Balls, the event was a veritable entertainments extravaganza. The college resounded with national bands, including the Mint Juleps, an all-female acapella group who were particularly well received in the Wolfson Hall, as well as local and student groups of all musical styles: jazz, classical, rock, funk etc. Besides the bands there were choruses, cabaret, ballroom dancing displays and participation, breakdancing and a medley of illusionists, fire-eaters, jugglers and other fun acts.

In addition to a novel arrangement of tents and walkways in the graveyard, the most obvious change from previous years was the clothing of the Top QuadMount Olympus- with a marquee and its use as a dining area. Apart from its convivial atmosphere, it made logistical sense for Gabriel and his staff.

As Chairman of this year's Ball I would like to stress the usefulness of the Ball.

Apart from providing a climax in the Hall's J.C.R. and M.C.R. social diaries in itself, it adds a certain richness to college life and for most students a secondary focus in the otherwise academically pressurized Trinity Term. Although it does cause disruption to college, through thoughtful planning this can be minimized in all quarters. It is worth emphasizing that the annual continuity of the event is extremely valuable. The success of this year owes much to the experience of other years. This makes for a more professionally planned and executed event. For the ten-strong committee, besides being an enjoyable and rewarding enterprise, it develops important skills for the world beyond university.

Finally I would like to express my profound thanks to all who assisted and particularly the Dean, members of the S.C.R. and College Staff but, most especially, to this year's committee for their hard work and dedication.

Katie Filby THIS YEAR'S BALL

THE ISIS HOTEL .

EARLy IN 1986 the

Governing Body heard on the grapevine that it might be possible to purchase the Isis Hotel. This hotel, with its adjoining cottages and annexe, stands on the Iffley Road, only a little way from the Plain and no more than five minutes' walk from the Hall. The owner had decided that it was no longer possible to run the hotel economically and was seeking a purchaser of the property.

14

There followed a delicate and protracted negotiatiOn which has eventually resulted in the Hall buying the hotel for student accommodation. The City Council is reluctant to lose hotel and guest house accommodation but, at the same time, is eager that the colleges should house more of their students in college properties in order to release small houses for family use. The outcome of the negotiation with the Council is that the Hall must make the Isis available for guest house use for 90 days in the summer vacation.

The Isis Hotel has cost the Hall a very considerable sum and the decision to buy was not an easy one to take . But it was felt that we would never again be in a posi~ tion to acquire property so close to Queen's Lane and we are confident that Aularians will, as always, support the decision of the Fellows. By October 1986, the Hall should be able to accommodate 40 more junior members and will be in a position to offer rooms to some 80 per cent of its undergraduate body, as high a proportion as most other colleges of the University.

SCHOLARSHIP ELECTIONS admissions arrangements, awards are no longer made on entry.

They are awarded, instead, on merit to those who are in residence. The Governing Body has made the following awards for the academic year 1986-87:

The map was drawn by Julia Johnson THE FINANCIAL FUTURE OF ST. EDMUND HALL ELSEWHERE IN THIS Magazine, we announce two land marks in the history of St Edmund Hall- the completion in January 1987 of the Appeal that we launched to finance the acquisition of Norham St Edmund, and now another major purchase of a splendid property, the former Isis Hotel near the Plain. Together with the development of 1 and 2 Crick Road, these purchases have taken us a very long way, though not quite the whole way, towards what we, like many Colleges, must nowadays regard as an essential provision for the future- the housing of at least eighty per cent of our (in 1985-6 figures) eighty-four graduates and 340 undergraduates either in College or in conveniently situated College annexes (see the accompanying map for their locations). We have adopted this policy because:

there is a dearth in Oxford of reasonably priced houses, flats, and lodgings there is strong pressure from the City Council to make Colleges provide for their junior members in their own buildings and annexes by its sustained squeeze on student grants and by its threatened withdrawal from students of supplementary and h·ousing benefits, the Government is making it difficult for our junior members to pay the all-the-year-round high rents that landlords are demanding.

And so they just cannot manage unless we ourselves offer them good accommodation. By buying the Isis Hotel we have responded to the challenge of providing them with more of it.

18

The Problem that Faces us In a longer perspective, the purchase of the Isis has brought us to a fresh stage of our twentieth-century development. Under Dr Emden, the Hall was triumphantly successful in building up its undergraduate numbers and in so diversifying its academic and general activities that it could become a major College of Oxford University. After John Kelly became Principal in 1951, this programme was quickly completed; with its numbers largely stabilized, St Edmund Hall has been no less successful in developing its Queen's Lane site and in acquiring large College annexes.

During the last twenty years (to go back no further), our record of building and improvement has been impressive: - we have built the New Dining Hall, Emden and Kelly Buildings, and White Hall - we have converted the church of St Peter-in-the-East into a Library - we have completely redesigned and modernized the Principal's Lodgings to make them suitable for family occupation, and have re-roofed the Queen's Lane frontage we have modernized and refurbished extensive parts of the older College buildings we have bought and furnished Norham St Edmund and 1 Crick Road - we have undertaken the purchase, repair, and equipment of the Isis - and we have in prospect a major repair of the Library roof.

Expressed in 1985-6 values, the total cost of all this has been £7,420,000.

In achieving this programme, we have been generously helped over the years in many ways (for comparison figures are raised, where necessary, to 1985-6 values): - by a grant from the Wolfson Foundation (£450,000) by our successive Appeals (in all £408,000) - by an Anonymous Benefactor (£100,000) and by Dr Frederick Brockhues (£100,000) - and by the very large legacies of Dr Emden (£600,000), the Rev. Selwyq Cox (£148,500), and Mr A. C. Cooper (£265,000).

These benefactions total £2,071,500. Even so, apart from some contributions through the scheme whereby the richer colleges have helped the poorer, the greater part of the money that we have used has come from our own resources , and especially from what we have been able to make available from income derived year by year from fees, from conferences, and from such endowments as we have currently had.

There have been many reasons for our expansion in numbers and our ambitious building programme. From a financial point of view they have been fully justified because both have produced revenue on a large scale. We could have kept ourselves viable financially and prosperous academically only as a big and adequately housed College. But the consequence has been that we have never been able to establish even the beginnings of a permanent and sufficient endowment. Even at best, the overall total of our investments has seldom reached the sum of our recurrent budget for ONE YEAR- now about £1,500,000. Each major item of expenditure has involved making alarming inroads into our meagre investments. Even in a good year like 1984-5, and so before the Isis purchase, our 'statory endowment income' , in the University's jargon, was the lowest of all the Colleges!

19

In sum, we remain, in one most important respect, just what we were in the days of Principal Edward Moore a hundred years ago- an institution virtually without permanent endowment. As a Hall, we had no Founder- no Waiter of Merton or William of Wykeham, no Lord Nuffield or Cecil and Ida Green- to see that from the start we were financially well resourced . And unless and until we are sufficiently endowed, our future will remain very precarious. During the next decades of our history, our first priority for our development must, therefore, become to acquire for the Hall the permanent endowment that we need, on a scale worthy of what we have otherwise done during the past sixty years. That is the problem facing us.

What we actually Require and Why The permanent endowment that we need cannot be set, in current values, at a figure lower than some £5,000,000; for comfort it must be set considerably higher. Our capital backing should certainly not be less than a mere three and a third times greater than our annual current expenditure of £1,500,000! And we need the income from such an endowment, over and above the fee and conference income upon which we at present depend, because: -as a result of present-day cuts and stringencies, our fee income is becoming ever more precarious and insufficient- this at a time when prevailing circumstances in higher education represent a new situation in which the poorer Oxford Colleges are very seriously threatened indeed - we rely excessively on conference income, which now exceeds £200,000 a year gross, representing a net profit of £90,000: it is precarious; moreover, its magnitude prevents us from giving our junior members the facilities outside Full Term that they increasingly need -in full Term as well as outside it, we would like to provide better academic and residential conditions for our junior members, as well as greater academic support for the Fellows -we desperately need to maintain adequate reserves for the major repairs and renewals that from time to time become necessary -the cost of staffing and maintaining our College annexes (1 and 2 Crick Road, Norham St Edmund, lsis), as well as the main College buildings, needs to be guaranteed. We still depend too largely upon improvisation!

How can we meet these Needs?

Clearly, St Edmund Hall, both in the sense of the present Governing Body and resident junior members and also in that of the 'greater College' of all Aularians past and present wherever they may be, must make a great effort to build up the permanent endowment that we must have if we are to survive and prosper into the twenty-first century. There are specific things that can be done: -we can seek to endow each of our Tutorial Fellowships, thereby releasing College revenues for the building up of our endowments. Broadly speaking, each Arts Tutorial Fellowship would need a partial endowment of about £250,000, and each Science Fellowship of about half that sum. We have recognized the generosity of the Rev. Selwyn Cox and of Mr A. C. Cooper by naming Arts Fellowships after them; we would be glad for all our Tutorial Fellowships to bear a Benefactor's name!

- we would be glad to increase our Research Fellowships. Junior Research Fellowships, like those that bear the name of their founder Canon Claude 20

Jenkins, each require a capital sum. of about £i 10,000, while a Senior Research Fellowship requires £200,000.

-there are still items of building that we would like to do in order to bring our accommodation right up to what we currently need: -we would like to build two bed-sitting rooms and some further toilet facilities in the Front Quadrangle between the Emden Room and the Canterbury Building (estimated cost perhaps £60,000) -we have planning permission to add four graduate rooms to I Crick Road (cost £60,000) -we may be able to replace the former Chapel at Nor ham St Edmund by a residential development of some twenty-five rooms (estimated cost perhaps £500,000) .

The present demand that we house most of our junior members requires us to look for finance for these projects; their realization would effectively satisfy our need for accommodation and would further contribute to our revenue .

-We would also name each student's room in Isis according to the wishes of a Benefactor who donated at least £10,000 to help us with its purchase, thus helping to reconstitute our capital.

Above all, we must promote what must now become our first financial priority by seeking benefactions, both great and small, directly to build up our permanent endowments. As in the past, many of our largest benefactions are likely to come from persons, especially Old Aularians, who are in a position to remember the Hall generously in their wills. We hope that you will do this if you possibly can.

So far as lifetime gifts, whether for endowment or for fellowships and buildings, are concerned, some provisions of the Budget and Finance Bill, 1986, may prove helpful: -those paying tax at higher rates than the standard can now make charitable donations at less cost to themselves, since there is no longer a limit to the higher-rate tax relief that an individual can claim upon his covenanted subscriptions. Some Old Aularians may, therefore, be prepared to raise their contributions to St Edmund Hall, or to arrange fresh ones!

-companies, other than close ones, can make single contributions to St Edmund Hall upon which they may claim immediate tax relief -there are concessions, too, in favour of the covenanted donations of close companies, which can now make covenants without limit that are fully taxdeductible -from I April 1987, those employed by a company or business will get tax relief on donations of up to £100 a year if they are deducted from their salaries under schemes set up by their employers.

In making all relevant donations, please remember that deposited covenants have now been greatly simplified, and that they are particularly advantageous to the Hall. And until January 1987, the Appeal is still open.

Those who would like to help in any way, or who can offer advice, are welcome either to telephone Pauline Linieres, Oxford (0865) 248180, or to write direct to the Principal, St Edmund Hall, Oxford OX! 4AR. In conclusion, it is apparent that, in the next phase of our history, the efforts that we must make on behalf of St Edmund Hall to build an endowment o( the 21

order of £5,000,000 must be more sustained and more broadly defined than those which we have hitherto devoted to raising Appeals for specific purposes. We must accustom ourselves to thinking on a much larger scale. Our hope is that, by the year 2000, we may see a St Edmund Hall which not only continues to show the vigorous, friendly, and academically excellent character that we have all learnt to value, but which has also acquired the secure and sufficient endowment that will guarantee it as a flourishing society in the years to come.

A Step that the College will Take Thus far, we have been calling upon Aularians to do things for St Edmund Hall.

Now we turn to something that the Principal and Fellows propose to do in return.

Almost all other Oxford Colleges hold a Gaudy. On such occasions, - they invite back to the College the whole of one or more 'years' of Old Members- enough to make a good party -they provide a very good dinner indeed with well chosen wines -there is bed and breakfast for those coming from a distance -Old Members usually come free of charge as guests of the College.

Each 'year' can thus expect to be invited back to their College at regular intervals, and to reassemble several times over a normal human life-span. Beginning in the autumn of 1987, we intend to institute a Gaudy. We shall begin by inviting our more senior Old Members. Our Gaudies will, of course, be additional to the customary Summer Reunions, which will continue in their familiar form. (The London Dinners are arranged by the Old Members themselves.) By instituting Gaudies, we hope to enable all Aularians to keep in closer and more regular touch with each other and with St Edmund Hall. We shall thereby promote an even livelier general awareness of the progress and the needs of our Society.

FLOREAT AULA! J. C. B. Gosling THE NORHAM ST EDMUND APPEAL last report as President on the progress of the Appeal, and I am glad to say that it is an extremely encouraging one.

This has been a very busy year, in a different way from the previous year. 1985 was the Year of Reunions, with gatherings of Aularians up and down the land, and in the U.S.A. and Canada, called together for food, drink, and exhortation, supported and arranged and hosted by Aularians and their wives, and, beside stimulating Aularian friendships outside London and Oxford, managing to encourage donations and bringing the Appeal forward from the £80,000 which we took over at the start to the £200,000 which we were in time able to announce.

Meanwhile the main feature of the 1986 effort, the Rude Letter, started to take effect. I had threatened dire measures at the 1985 Reunion, and the 'rude, crude, nothing-to-lose' letter hit the breakfast tables of home-based Aularians this June: overseas mail is at this moment delivering it to our more far-flung brethren.

Some, very few, were scandalised by its tone, 'appalled', 'amazed', 'deeply offended'. One or two found it hard to believe how such a missive could emanate from a reverend man of the cloth. It even received the notoriety of being extensively quoted in the Times Higher Educational Supplement . The majority reaction, however, was one of amused 'I give in', friendly covering letters, and, very importantly, a new spate of generous contributions.

THIS WILL BE MY

22

I am delighted to report that at the time of going to press we have moved on to £270,000, which leaves us £30,000 short of our target of £300,000. Another com-

munication will be on its way to those who might still help, and I hope that further contributions at the end of the year will fall about me as thick as autumnal leaves, to enable my successor to announce total success at the London Dinner.

Meanwhile my very best thanks to all those who have helped to bring us so far on our way.

Floreat Aula Graham Midgley THE REUNION of old members was held on Saturday 28 June 1986. Growing numbers mean that it is no longer possible to invite everyone and this year the Reunion was for those who matriculated before 1947 and after 1969- vintage claret and beaujolais nouveau . The latter included for the first time a significant number of ladies, a fact overlooked in the speeches, which is an indication perhaps of how easily and naturally we have become a mixed college. Sadly Dr. Kelly was unable to be present but sent his greetings.

In his speech the Pro-Principal, Dr. Joe Todd, explained how he had become the first holder of this office in the history of the Hall. He then spoke of changes in the membership of the Senior Common Room (recorded elsewhere in this Magazine) and of the three Honorary Fellows who had been elected during the course of the year, one of them (Professor Grayson) being present. He went on to pay tribute to the contribution which Percy James had made to the life of the Hall and also referred to the lunch held in honour of Cyril Anslow's fifty years' service to the College.

The financial position of the Hall was explained , as was the urgent need for extra accommodation which had led to the purchase of the former Isis Hotel. The Pro-Principal concluded his speech with a general review of the year which had produced 17 Firsts and various sporting cups amongst other successes.

The President of the Association, the Revd . Graham Midgley, began by thanking the Pro-Principal and Fellows for the Reunion and extended his thanks to the new Steward, Mr. David Campbell, who had carried much of the responsibility for organizing the service of the dinner. He then spoke of the Appeal and of the response to his 'rude letter'. This had produced a number of interesting responses but also £30,000 to add to the £230,000 already raised. He concluded his speech by adding his own appreciation of what Percy Jame.s had done for the Hall and presented him with a cheque on behalf of the St. Edmund Hall Association. Mr. James's reply was followed by a standing ovation.

ST EDMUND HALL ASSOCIATION MINUTES OF THE 55TH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATION-14 JANUARY 1986 THE 55th ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATION was held in the Smoking Room Bar of Simpson's-in-the-Strand, 100 Strand, London WC2R OEW , on Tuesday 14 January 1986 at 6. 18 p .m., The Rev. Graham Midgley B.Litt MA presiding.

29 members were present, but only 15 were seated since chairs were requisitioned by the hosting authorities for the ensuing Dinner, the venue now reverting to the South Room on the first floor, whose re-decoration had caused us to dine in the Ground Floor Room, with its chambres separees, for the last two years.

Apologies were received from (inter alios): - J . C. B. Gosling (Principal- on sabbatical): the Rev. Dr J ..N . D. Kelly: F. H . H . Finch, Hon. Dinner Secretary-on duty: M. G. M. Groves, J. M. G. Halstead, Miss R. M. Martel, J . R. Paul, J. D. Shortridge, J. R. Smith.

1. MINUTES The Minutes of the 54th Meeting, held 8 Jan).lary 1985, having been published in the 1984- 85 Magazine and copies being available, were taken as read, confirmed and signed by the President in infinitely durable ink from a fountain pen provided by the Hon. Treasurer.

2. MATTERS ARISING Minute 4 (third para.)

The Hon. Secretary proposed his postponed vote of thanks to the Rev. Graham Midgley, now President, for his signal services as Editor of the Hall Magazine 1979- 85. It was to be recalled that he had written in the Editorial to the 1979- 80 Magazine on assuming office that Dr. Kelly (Editor 1951 - 79) 'actually liked putting the Magazine together and spent many a happy pre-dinner summer evening capturing some events of the Hall year in his inimitable prose. The new Editor intends to persuade more voices to speak, and spend his energies in forcing contributions from experts rather than writing them himself. This should provide a new pleasure for readers, as they attempt to identify contributors by their prose, although they should be warned that varying degrees of Editorial intervention may blurr the accuracy of stylistic analysis'. This intention was deemed to have been fulfilled summa cum laude and the vote was carried unanimously, with best wishes extended to his successor, Dr D. I. Scargill.

3. PRESIDENT'S REPORT As last year, he announced that he was reserving his pearls for his speech at the ensuing Dinner, and these will be reported by the Hon. Dinner Secretary, F. H. 25

H. Finch, in his account of the proceedings to be published in the 1985-86 Magazine. He paid a tribute to the services rendered by the Hon. Secretary H. A. F. Radley, particularly in respect of his work in initiating and writing up the Diamond Jubilee of the Association.

4. HON SECRETARY'S REPORT The Hon. Secretary proposed a vote of thanks to the Governing Body for its generosity in arranging and funding the Jubilee Garden Party: this was carried unanimously.

5. HON. TREASURER'S REPORT R. J. L. Breese spoke to the Accounts for the year ended 31 July 1985, which had been been published in the 1984-85 Magazine. The main items of Income had been membership subscriptions £3,422, loan interest £394, and Emden Bequest interest £200: of Expenditure, Magazine, postage and stationery £2,932; Secretarial £306; and Boat Club donation £100- a total in of £4,016 and out of £3,271, giving a surplus in of £745, out of which £700 had been allocated to the Directory Fund to cover the cost of the 1986 Directory, to be updated from the last issue in 1981. He went on to draw attention to the Balance Sheet, with its Assets Employed of £3,082. On the proposal of the President, duly seconded, the Balance Sheet and annexed Income and Expenditure Account for the year ended 31 July 1985, as audited and published in the Magazine 1984-85, were adopted unanimously. The President commented that it had not been a bad year: the Hon. Treasurer was to be congratulated on completing four years in his key job.

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 re-elections were made unanimously:-

Hon. Secretary 1986 (one-year appointment)- H. A. F. Radley Hon. Treasurer 1986 (one-year appointment)- R. J. L.

He was unanimously re-appointed for 1987.

THE LONDON DINNER THE 45th LONDON DINNER of the St Edmund Hall Association was held at Simpson's-in-the-Strand on Tuesday, 14 January 1986. In contrast to the previous year the weather behaved itself, and there were very few cancellations.

Some 128 Aularians turned up to celebrate the return to our old venue, the South Room Restaurant, after four years in the wilderness downstairs.

28

The Principal, Justin Gosling, was on sabbatical leave and off to the MidWest, and in his absence the President of the Association welcomed as guest of honour Dr J. D. Todd, who attended as Pro-Principal, together with Mrs Todd.

Joe Todd was an Aularian contemporary, the President said, and one of his oldest and closest friends. He was, moreover, the first graduate of the Hall to address the London Dinner as head of the College since the Dinner was first held in 1933 . An equally warm welcome was extended to the Association's other two guests A. S. Hum, President of the M.C.R. and M. C. Field, President of the J.C.R. To Graham Midgley's and our disappointment, however, another honoured guest and most faithful attender at these Dinners, Dr John Kelly, had been compelled to cry off at the last moment.

Turning to the events of the past twelve months the President apologised if he appeared to be repeating himself. 1985 had, however, been a year of rejoicing for the Association, which had celebrated its Diamond Jubilee with a highly enjoyable garden party, attended by over 1000 people, and a special exhibition of Aularian memorabilia. He wished to express his thanks once again to the Governing Body for their generosity and to all those who had assisted him during the past year and contributed to the success of the summer festivities; including, in particular, the Association's indefatigable Hon. Secretary, Farrand Radley, the very fons et origo of the Jubilee celebrations.

Graham Midgley then introduced a note of solemnity, although the great Aularian to whom he was about to refer would have been the last to wish him to cast gloom over the evening even for a moment. That Aularian was Jack Allan, who died at the age of eighty on 31 July 1985, having been Treasurer of the Association for the record period of forty years and President 1968-1970.

Graham had conducted his funeral service, the first time a President of the Association had taken part in such a ceremony for a former President, and the Association had sent a splendid wreath in Aularian colours.

As for the N.S.E. Appeal, the President had had another busy year. Much had he travelled, he said, in the realms of gold (or at least potential gold!), his visits covering the length and breadth of the U.K. as well as Washington and New York . The highlight of his visit to the last-mentioned had been a memorable dinner, attended by some twenty Aularians, which had been organised by Bill Miller (matric. 1949) at the Pan-Am Sky Club on the eve of St Edmund's Day. The Appeal total now stood at £214,000, £86,000 short of the required £300,000.

The last push was about to begin, and once more he exhorted all Aularians who had not yet subscribed to reach for their cheque-books.

Dr Todd rose and thanked the President on behalf of the guests. He pointed out that he himself had been Vice-Principal only fourteen days previously, but he was now Pro-Principal, having given up Vice in order to become a Pro. He was probably the first Pro-Principal to address this company. Dr Richard Fargher, whose very welcome presence he noted at the Dinner, had officially been VicePrincipal when as Acting Principal he stood in many years ago for the absent Dr Kelly; he was never Pro. Dr Todd then saluted Dr Bruce Mitchell, who rose in his turn amid acclamation to reveal that he was the new Vice-Principal.

Having clarified the hierarchical niceties Dr Todd proceeded to his mini 'State of the Union' speech. Before starting, however, he wished to make one comment.

Most Oxford colleges have a poor attendance record in respect of their London dinners, and many colleges have ceased to hold them. It says much for the loyalty of Aularians that year after year the capacity of Simpson's restaurant is stretched to accommodate all those who apply.

After briefly mentioning the elections and retirements of a number of Fellows which had taken place during the past year and had already been reported in the

29

Magazine, Dr Todd referred to Graham Midgley. Graham, he said, had finally retired from the College as Chaplain. At an early stage in his career he had taught at one women's college, Bedford in London, and he had now rotated to another, St Hugh's, Oxford, where he had taken up his duties as Chaplain. The new Chaplain of St Edmund Hall is the Rev. Christopher Irvine.

Dr Frederick Brockhues, that great friend of the late Dr Emden and the College, had made a munificent donation of ÂŁ100,000 to the College, the destination of which was to be announced at the June 1986 Reunion. On the day following the London Dinner the College was to entertain Cyril and Ethel Anslow to lunch to celebrate Cyril's fifty years of devoted service, while Percy James, who had retired last year after twenty-seven years' outstanding service as College Steward, had been invited to attend the 1986 Reunion as a guest of the College.

Finals results in the Schools had been excellent. No fewer than seventeen Firsts were obtained, which made us eighth in the 1985 Norrington Table. In sport we had won the Rugby, Hockey, Water Polo, Rugby League seven-a-side and Ladies' Cross Country Cuppers, while the College's usual quota of four Blues had helped Oxford to their victory in the Varsity Rugby Match last December.

In addition to the four guests the following Aularians attended the Dinner:1922 Dr E. P. Brice, 1925 R. S. Orchard, 1928 H. A. Maxwell, 1929 Sir Denis Wright (Hon. Fellow), 1930 Sir Claude Hayes, 1931 The Rev'd R. J. Vaughan, 1932 David Floyd, Sir William Nield, 1933 F. H. H. Finch, Major-General E. F. Foxton, J. Lee, 1934 J. C. Cain, 1935 H. A. F.

AN AMERICAN OCCASION AN AULARIAN DINNER was held at the Sky Club, Pan American Building, New York City, on Thursday, November 14, 1985. Twenty Aularians attended: ..,_

David Band George Barner A. Warne Boyce Michael C. T. Brookes Eric G. Curtis Linda Davies David Eckley Leonard Gibeon Mark Hall Alex McCallum

Paul McWilliam William R. Miller John T. Mullin John A. D. Nestbitt William K. Patterson Andrew L. Sloane William V. Sotirovic Elmer Sprague, Jr. John 0. Ward Alan Westaway

Just prior to the dinner, a service of Evensong was held at the Church of St. Mary the Virgin conducted by the Reverend Andrew L. Sloane, . at which ten of the Aularians who attended the dinner were present.

After the traditional sherry and an excellent dinner, each Aularian present spoke briefly about his personal history and his time at the Hall. The toast of 'Floreat Aula' was imbibed by .all present.

Greetings were extended from the Principal and Graham Midgley, and Bill Miller who convened the gathering then spoke about the Norham St. Edmund Appeal, read a status report prepared by Graham Midgley and encouraged all Aularians resident in the U .S. to participate.

At the conclusion of the evening it was unanimously agreed to reconvene next year on Thursday, November 13th, 1986 at the Sky Club.

W. R. Miller HALL

A letter to Aularians 'HALL' IS THE WORKING title of a book about St Edmund Hall written by its members. It will, we hope, be light and affectionate in style, and short enough (250 pages) to make conciseness essential. It will contain 30- 40 reminiscent essays by Hall men and women (including dons) and about 20 half-tone illustrations.

The first chapter will briefly fill in the Hall's history from foundation to c.1920. The rest of the book will cover the years 1920- 1985- i.e. within living memory- years during which huge changes in university life have taken place.

A specimen essay will be produced for contributors' guidance, but it should not be followed slavishly. While unusual memories will be welcomed, we would like each contributor to touch on common matters,- such as:-

- how they entered the Hall (?straight from school ?scholarship ?after National Service etc.)

- financial resources - how hard they worked -lectures/dons/tutors, their quirks and techniques - what societies they joined 31

- extra-Aularian activities, e.g. Union, OUDS etc.

-sport -relations with women's colleges (pre-War restrictions were almost unbelievable!)

Essays should be 2- 3000 words in length.

We would also like a very short note on each contributor's subsequent career.

The book, a paperback, will sell at about ÂŁ5 a copy, and profits will go to the Hall Appeal funds.

Essays will be selected by a Committee chaired by Gordon Shield (1933), solicitor, and consisting of Roger Farrand (1955), publisher, Peter Slip (1956), management consultant, and A/an Jenkins (1932) author and editor. In the event of essays overlapping each other in subject matter, the editor will reserve the right to shorten them.

All essays submitted will be kept in the Hall Archives.

Please send your contribution to: Roger Farrand, 50 Ferry Street, Isle of Dogs, London, E14 9DT. If you have any photographs of historical interest, we should be glad to see these too. All will be returned in due course.

CLUBS AND SOCIETIES THE BOAT CLUB Captain: MICK JENKINS Ladies Captain: LIZ HOLLINGWORTH Steward: DAvm MciNTYRE Treasurer: ALISON McCoRMICK Assistant Steward: THERESA BURBRIDGE MICHAELMAS TERM began with a cloud of pessimism hanging over the Boat Club.

The summer had seen a very fast Hall First VIII falling one place and the women's First VIII finishing Eights Week in their starting position. Furthermore a large percentage of both crews had either left the Hall or started the new year with their minds on higher things. The emphasis for the year thus had to be placed upon finding and coaching new recruits and training others up to First VIII standard.

The first event of term was Autumn Fours in which Mick Jenkins, Andy Brown, Ian Grant and Niall Haigh missed making the final in the junior category by a mere couple of seconds. In Christ Church Regatta this crew combined with William Connolley, Jonathan Larkin, Dennis Mustapha and Rob Schofield to compete in Senior VIIIs. A morale-boosting victory was achieved in the first round but that brought us up against a strong Oriel crew to whom we succumbed.

Perhaps of more importance was the performance of the Novice VIIIs, especially the Ladies Novice VIII who fought through to the last eight from a field of over seventy.

Hilary Term began with a visit to the Hall by Mike Spracklen, the coach of the Olympic Gold Medal Four. He gave a highly informative talk about the rowing stroke which was attended by a cross section of the Boat Club as well as a heartwarmingly large number of old Aularians.

Torpids was affected by the weather, the event being cut to three days due to ice. Both First VIIIs had their eyes set on climbing a division. The men failed to regain their place in the top division, lost under dubious circumstances last year, but finished the week at the top of the second division. The ladies had more success, climbing into the second division by the third day but then, unfortunately, being caught.

The Colours Committee met after Torpids and it was decided to award Boat Club Colours to women for the first time. Kath Finucane, Liz Hollingworth and Liz Marsh were thus rewarded for their work for Hall rowing and their success in University events. The term finished on a bright note with Jo Cox winning the Ladies Sculls at Cherwell Regatta.

Summer Eights saw the Hall entering more crews than any other college. The men's Third VIII had a frustrating week in which they tended to be bumped just as they themselves were making up ground on the crew ahead. The Second VIII, a crew selected more for their ability than their fitness, did little better. The men's First VIII did not have the ability or the power of previous top crews. Nevertheless as Fifth Week approached it looked possible that we were capable of, faring better than falling the three or four places that was. generally predicted.

Two fine row-overs on the first two days ensured this, holding off Magdalen despite an overlap on each day. On the third day Worcester caught Magdalen leaving the former chasing us and their blades on the Saturday. Predictably we were bumped, finishing the week in sixth position.

The ladies' First VIII had an absolutely fantastic week. They combined technical skill and spirit with the touch of luck that had eluded previous crews.

Everything went to plan as they achieved five bumps whilst climbing into the 41

second division for the first time. In recognition of this achievement Boat Club Colours were awarded to the stern four and also to the men's First VIII. Thanks are due to those who have helped us this year: to St. Edward's School for the use of their rack-space at Godstow and to Chris Morgan for his help with our boat; to our President, Graham Midgley, for his unceasing support; but most of all to the old Aularians who have spent so much of their time coaching and encouraging us.

M.J. THE RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB Captain: DOMINIC HOGG (League) DA VE REED (Cuppers) Secretary: MARK ROBERTS THE CAPTAINS being too exhausted to write anything, the following account of the activities of the Rugby Club was contributed at short notice by Max Irwin.

Despite having lost many talented and experienced players since the previous season, including the Irish and British Lions full-back, H. P. MacNeill, the Hall once more gave a good account of itself on the rugby pitch.

The serious business of Michaelmas Term is, of course, the league championship and the Hall First XV acquitted themselves well despite the burden of contributing up to twenty players at various times to University sides and of losing the club's Secretary and regular full-back, Mark Roberts, to a shoulder injury in the very first game. The highlight was a hard-won 6- 4 victory over Christ Church in the penultimate match of the term, and the Hall was unfortunate to lose the league on points difference, having lost narrowly to Keble, 12-9, with an uncharacteristically poor performance in the last game of the term.

Bolstered by the return of various University players, the Hall successfully retained the Cuppers title in Hilary Term. The First XV, ably led by D. K. Reed, a blue at open-side wingforward in 1985, beat Lincoln (32- 0), Worcester (33- 0), Brasenose (18- 0) and Keble (31 - 6) on the way to the final, whilst the Second XV, captained by A. J . Gowans, did well to beat Christ Church 6- 4 before going out in the third round. The final, played against a combined St. John's and St. Anne's team who, to the surprise of many had defeated a powerful University College side in the other semi-final, was similar in many ways to the previous year's match. Up to half-time the Hall was struggling to find its form in the face of resolute tackling, and shortly after half-time we were all given much cause for anxiety when the Captain, playing out of position at scrum-half, was forced to leave the field with a broken ankle. Nothing daunted, however, the side now cut loose, demonstrating some fine attacking back play to eventually record a fulltime score of 26- 3.

The Hall provided four of the varsity side which halted Cambridge's successful run at Twickenham: R. I. Glynn, J. M. Risman, T . G. Willis and C. M. Crane.

We also contributed four of the front five of the Greyhounds side which drew 7-7 with their Cambridge opponents at Iffley Road, including the Captain, D. A. Davies.

M.R.S .I. THE ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL CLUB Captain: BRUCE MAJOR Secretary: FERGUS HEATON DESPITE A PROMISING start of two 6- l victories, the season went steadily downhill . Due to the other commitments of many of the players, the first team often struggled to do themselves credit. The same is not true of the second team, 42

however, which ended the season on a high note, gaining promotion to the first division. The third team were always going to struggle, playing in a division consisting of college second XIs but their effort and determination staved off relegation until the final three kicks of their final game.

Cuppers was a disaster for all teams. Despite the strong representation of the Hall in University football, poor organization meant that we did not once field a team to be proud of, and once did not field one at all.

The one highnote of the season was the dinner, well-organized by the Secretary, later found wandering around Summertown, and superbly chaired by Neil James, next year's Second XI captain.

B.M. THE CRICKET CLUB

Captain: JEREMY ATKINSON Secretary: JULIAN DAY OVERALL THE season has been most successful, the side being undefeated in the thirteen friendlies played (five wins). In Cuppers the Second XI defeated Univ. by eight wickets but made only 79 against Queen' s and lost by six wickets. The First XI defeated Magdalen by five wickets and Corpus by 43 runs, thanks largely to a spell of 4 for 9 from A. Subraminian, before playing St. Peter's in possibly the best game of the season. Set to make 187, Jeremy Atkinson's early season form with the bat returned in an excellent 70 and Andy Watson contribute a timely 35 not out. The semi-final, however, saw the Hall outclassed by a strong New College side to go down by 141 runs, In the friendlies the notable feature was the number of different people who played and performed well. Six different bowlers achieved four wickets in an innings and eight half centures were scored, which shows the depth of talent available. Of the batsmen, Jeremy Atkinson contributed regularly and Steve Bartlett showed great promise with an excellent hundred against Pembroke in a match won by 103 runs. Dave Davies recorded the season's best bowling figures (6 for 33) in helping to dismiss the opposition for 99.

J.M.D. THE HOCKEY CLUB

Captains: NEIL CLEMINSON, LOUISE RANDS Vice-Captain: ANDY STEANE Secretaries: RoB O'KEEFFE, SALLY HUGHES THE MEN'S HOCKEY team decided that they were not averse to another cuppers dinner, so they may as well win the competition. We were just arranging the date, when Christ Church held us to a 1-1 draw in the semi-final, though of course we put the books straight in the 3-0 replay. There just remained the simple task of putting the ball into Oriel's net four times, and the meal could start.

The gourmands featured university players Stan Hum and Gareth Harper ('cordon-bleus' so to speak), and guest star Geoff Garrett from Nuffield College, along with the ever dependable core of last year's team and a good first year intake.

Our next success was in the mixed cuppers final, drawing 0- 0 after double extra time, the rules declaring the honours shared at that stage. On many occasions, the ladies, especially Lorraine Wild at full back, boosted team morale wit.h their Amazonian determination to win; and with much the same team, we confidently predict a full victory next year.

43

By these standards, second place in the league was a comparative failure, due mainly to an inability to get the best team out on the day. The ladies did well in their cuppers competition, just missing the final stages, and led by Judith and Tanya should return with a vengeance, ready to follow the men's and mixed teams to success.

R.O. L.R. A.S.

THE ATHLETICS CLUB Captains: SIMON BASKETT, KATE FILBY THE ATHLETICS season got off to a fine start this year in the Hilary Term with victory in the heats of the cuppers tournament. Despite the absence of many of our 'star' athletes, we still managed to beat five other teams, including Balliol who were well-endowed with university athletes.

The final took place the following term and hopes of victory were high, even though we were up against last year's winners, the much-fancied Exeter. Our start was not too auspicious as we trailed in fifth position after the first three events.

However, we gradually clawed back the points to gain second place behind Exeter by mid-afternoon, though we were still forty points behind them. Inspired by our supporters and some excellent performances in the field, in particular by Simon Briggs and Laurence Davey, we drew level by the time of the relays. Victory followed in the 4 x lOO metres, and a second place in the 4 x 400 metres ensured that we won the competition for the first time in 4 years .

It was particularly satisfying to see our dominance in the field events and the relays, and the willingness of many team members to turn their hand to whatever events were necessary. Roger Sawyer and Simon Briggs reached new-found heights in the pole vault. A mention should also be given to Mark Stevenson and Angus Chilvers of St. Benet's Hall, without whom victory would not have been possible.

The women's athletic event of the year took place in Fifth Week of Hilary Term. The Hall team, strong in spirit and large in number, turned up at the Iffley Road track which was surrounded by snow, and managed to brave the sub-arctic conditions. A solid middle placing in the competition was achieved, though special mention should be made of Helen Hoyle's consistent success in all distance track events.

S.B. K.F. THE MEN'S CROSS COUNTRY CLUB Captain: ANTHONY ROSSITER

THE SEASON started badly in cuppers when most of the Hall's best runners were not able to compete, although we still fielded a team . In the inter-college relay in Hilary Term the Hall put out a good team and came about sixth .

The highlight of the year was the S.E.H. Relays on 12 February. Thirty-four teams, from over 20 other universities, contested this annual 4 x 3 mile relay over the three bridges route. Though the Hall teams did not distinguish themselves in running, there was a lot of help given us on the day to marshalling and making teas. Birmingham (BUSF champions) won the race.

A.R. 44

THE LADIES CROSS COUNTRY CLUB Captain: SALLY HUGHES

HAVING FIELDED the largest team in cuppers, we were always in with a good chance of doing well. In keeping with the Captain's tradition, I was safely beaten home by most of the team, and greeted at the finish with the news that we had won a cuppers dinner.

Thanks to everyone who braved the weather- Helen Hoyle, Liz Marsh, Lorraine Wild, Cathy McKay- and congratulations to next year's captain, Helen, on obtaining her half-blue.

S.H. THE MEN'S TENNIS CLUB Captain: STEVE W AYGOOD

DESPITE THE best attempts of the weather, this season's tennis has been completed and, more importantly, has proved very enjoyable. With more wins than losses we should finish in the top half of the league, whilst in the cuppers competition we reached the second round. Many thanks to all those who played, especially Mike Hill, Mark Little and the inimitable Mark Triggs.

Within College a mixed doubles competition was run and congratulations go to Mark Little and Julia Cannon who beat Mike Hill and Ali Cooke in the final.

s.w.

THE LADIES' TENNIS CLUB Captain: ALISON Mc CORMICK

IT wAS a great shame that no ladies league was organized this season. However, the Hall team, which was well supported by the first year, participated in cuppers where we lost to Univ. in the quarter finals. After this defeat we spent the rest of the season playing friendly matches- mostly mixed- and we hope to continue to play these mixed matches ¡next season, including an enjoyable fixture against the Poly.

A .M. THE SQUASH CLUB Captain: SIMON BAKER Secretary: JUSTIN SMITH

THE 1985-86 season saw a wealth of first year talent and enthusiasm for squash. Furthermore, this coincided remarkably with a change for the better in the organization of Hall squash. For the first time, a squash ladder system, based on merit, has been in operation. At a glance, the two league teams could be picked from the top 10 available players each week, an important attribute in a sport where turning up to claim a match by walkover may be just as important as playing.

Hall teams performed well in the league , the Firsts remaining encouragingly static in Division Two, whilst the Seconds gained promotion to Division Three.

45

Cuppers was hard-fought, though the draw proved too tough. Admittedly, the Second V did reach the semi-finals of their tournament but, alas, both Hall sides succumbed to their Wolfson equivalents.

Youth has succeeded experience, ensuring that the Hall tradition of strengthin-depth at squash will continue. Thanks go to the old-timers who sadly must leave us this year: Simon Baker, Simon Baskett, Ravi Singh, and MCR men Hamish Stevenson and Richard Phelps. Happily standards have been high, the First team led by Justin Smith who represented the University but narrowly missed a Blue.

J.P.S. THE RUGBY LEAGUE CLUB Captain: JOHN SHARPLES

THE RUGBY LEAGUE team once again asserted its utter dominance at college level this year. For the third year running the cuppers trophy remains in Hall. On the way to the final we beat Exeter 36- 6 and St. Peter's 40- 0 (St. Peter's handled the ball once during the entire match) . In the final the Hall beat Merton 16-6, so in 45 minutes of rugby sevens the Hall scored one try every two minutes, or two points every minute.

Congratulations to S. Freethy and N. Pritchard, our only representatives in the Varsity side- and surely the decline in the University side can only be explained by the decline in the Hall's involvement in it.

After three years of faithful and successful service, John Sharples hands over the captaincy to A. Gowans. Playing League at any level does not affect your chances of success in Union, and it is hoped that enough enthusiasts come forward to maintain the Hall's strength in this sport.

J.S. THE NETBALL CLUB

Captain: K.ATE FILBY

THE YEAR began well for Hall netball. The team was unbeaten throughout Michaelmas, with convincing wins against Balliol, Jesus and St. Anne's, and went on to win the league. In cuppers, hampered by a sudden ankle injury to our experienced shooter, we narrowly missed winning our section against St. Catherine's and of going on to the finals.

K.F.

THE BASKETBALL CLUB

Captains: GRAHAM STEELE

THE BASKETBALL team entered cuppers in Trinity Term with a more talented and experienced side than last year. Particularly welcome additions were Dane Starbuck and Graham Worth, while veterans Dave Davies and Alan Bowser provided necessary muscle under the basket. Despite its paper potential, however, the team succeeded only in establishing a record identical to last year's- two wins and two losses- with the final loss being a heart-rendering 29- 28 decision to Balliol. The

46

explanation probably lies in certrun circumstances which made it frankly incredible that as many as two games were won. Particularly prominent in this regard were the lack of gym space in Oxford, Mike .Erkelenz's inability to dribble with both hands, the captain's less than scintillating one point per game average, the questionable reliability of John Clark's alarm clock, and the failure of the seemingly simple 'Pass to Dane' offensive strategy.

The highlight of the season, apart from Dane's basket from half-court in the first match, was the sponsorship for Sport Aid of the team's third match. A 32- 30 win over Trinity in that game meant that ÂŁ182.46 was raised from about 170 aularians. Many thanks to all who contributed.

G.S. THE BADMINTON CLUB Captain: DAVID WOODHEAD THE 1985-86 SEASON was the most successful for a number of years. After being relegated last season, the team was unbeaten in the inter-collegiate league this year, easily gaining promotion back to Division One. In cuppers too there was an improvement. After a creditable win over fourth seeds, St. Peter's, an injury-hit side lost heavily to Keble in the semi-finals. On the university front, Steve Bartlett gained a half-blue.

D.W .

THE CROQUET CLUB

Captain: SALLY MORTIMORE IN SPITE OF disappointing results in most of the matches this term, the Hall's characteristic enthusiasm must remain unrivalled, with inexperienced players taking to the croquet lawn with varying degrees of talent and confidence.

Out of the four teams entered in cuppers, two got through to the second round.

The matches against Pembroke, Cambridge and Birmingham provided a suitable diversion for our keenest members although the odds proved overwhelming in both cases. The match against the Dons was, however, won by the JCR although whether this was due to the effects of wine or to the skill of AI Sharp, Pete Latimer, Jane Moody and Tony Rossiter is debatable.

In the end though the opinion of the majority is that croquet is best played to the accompaniment of Pimms, strawberries and sunshine in a not-toocompetitive fashion.

S.M. THE DARTS CLUB

Captain: JUSTIN SMITH THIS YEAR the Hall's controversial and elitist Darts Club broke new ground in both on-and-off-the-board achievements. Two teams were fielded in the leagues and the captains saw membership and competition for places in the teams rise considerably.

47

Team spirit was superb and the sheer mental and physical presence of the First VIII was enough to earn them a reputation as one of the top three teams in the University. Notable annihilations were chalked up against old enemies Queen's (10- 2), Jesus (9- 3, twice), Merton, Corpus and Exeter (8- 4). Cuppers was eventful, the Hall narrowly losing to St. John's (the eventual winners) in the quarter-finals. Friendlies against Keble, Wadham and especially St. Hilda's, emphasized that social mixing is paramount and darts but of secondary importance.

On the university front, Simon Ashberry won the varsity team darts match for Oxford in dramatic fashion and also reached the cuppers singles final.

J.P.S. THE CHRISTIAN UNION

Leaders: MURRAY KING, ANDY }ONES THE LORD HAS been moving in the Christian Union this year and we have seen at least three members of the Hall come to faith in Him. The houseparty, held the weekend before the start of Michaelmas Term, gave us a chance to get to know some first year Christians and, since then, we have been drawn together as a Christian body and have seen the Lord lead us forward into new areas of freedom and commitment. With a change of leadership and new first year Christians coming up in October, we are looking forward to what God will be doing in us and through us in the future.

THE MUSIC SOCIETY

THE SOCIETY has been active this year but sadly was unable to produce a report.

Here, instead, is a surprise item.

BELLRINGING THE ONLY people to climb the tower of the church of St. Peter-in-the-East nowadays do so at Mr. Dunbabin's invitation, but in days gone by bellringers regularly mounted the spiral staircase to practise their art on the eight bells which once hung in an ancient oak frame. In the late 1960s, when the church was in the process of being converted into our college library, the Oxford Diocesan Guild of Church Bellringers, fearing for the safety of the bells, appealed to its membership and raised enough money to buy them from the church. They were later rehung in the church of St. Denys, Stanford-in-the-Vale, and rededicated on Sunday 12 July, 1970.

The above may not be news to many, but the following almost certainly will be.

On Saturday 1st February 1986, on the bells of the church of St. Denys, Stanford-in-the-Vale, members of St. Edmund Hall rang a peal of CAMBRIDGE SURPRISE MAJOR, being 5152 changes completed in 2 hours and 45 minutes by the following band:

Treble Andrew P. Deamer 2. Julie Sheard 3. Derek P. Jones 4. Robert W. Winstanley

19841982-5 1943-7 1956-9

5. Nigel J. Gay 6. Douglas J. Beaumont 7. Paul N. Mounsey Tenor Nigel C. Smith 48

19841973-6 1972-6 1975-8

A composition by C. Middleton was called by A. P. Deamer. The tenor weighs 8 cwt, 1 qtr and 17 lbs and is tuned to the note G sharp. The peal was credited to the Oxford University Society of Change Ringers, and appeared in the 'Ringing World', a weekly national newspaper for bellringers, in the issue dated 21 March 1986.

Change ringing is performed on bells which are swung in a circle from an inverted position, with their mouths upwards. Each ringer rings only one bell.

One 'change' is one particular order in which the bells are rung, and the rules of change ringing include that no bell shall move more than one position at one go, for instance 4132 followed by 4321 is illegal, but 4132 followed by 4312 is acceptable. 'Cambridge Surprise' and 'composition' are technical terms which describe how 5152 different changes were produced, and 'Major' indicates that all eight bells were involved in the changes.

The bells have a long history. The 3rd bell (bells are numbered from the highest in pitch which is the lightest in weight) was probably cast in 1654 by Michael Darbie in a furnace that he had erected in Christ Church in order to recast Great Tom, and was recast by Abraham Rudhall in 1700. The 5th, 6th and 7th and tenor (8th) were also cast in 1700 by Abraham Rudhall, while the 4th was recast in 1753 by Abel Rudhall and the 'two trebles' (1st and 2nd) were cast by Mears and Stainbank of Whitechapel when the ring was augmented from 6 to 8 bells in 1891.

The band would like to think that Thomas Hearne (a self-appointed judge of ringing standard and a preserver of antiquities), from his celestial vantage point, heard in this peal a joyous sound unparalleled in his critical experience.

THE AULARIAN BOOKSHELF

1985/86 a steady flow of publications from Aularians during the past year, and the increase in the number of volumes in the Aularian Bookshelf has necessitated more use of shelf-space in the Old Library. We now keep all the 'oversize' books in the Old Library as well as the pamphlets and offprints. We are very glad to have such a flourishing section in the library, and thank all those who have given copies of their publications over the past years and those listed below, who have sent them in .l985/1986:
