ST EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE VOL. XIII. No. 2

October 1987 EDITOR: D. I. SCARGILL

HAROLD MACMILLAN loved Oxford. On 16th November last, just a few weeks before his death and in obviously failing health, he came to St Edmund's Day and spoke, as he always did, about 'this great College'. It was his last public engagement. Something about the spirit of the Hall?

That spirit thrives and is sustained by, amongst other things, the efforts of the St Edmund Hall Association, members of which give generously of their time and money to support the activities of the College. It is appropriate, with a publisher as its President, that the Association's latest enterprise should be the publication of two books about the Hall, one of them a collection of anecdotes by all generations of Aularians, the other a miscellany of Hall Songs.

Both will be available soon. Watch these pages as they say.

In addition to the usual news of the Hall, the Magazine this year includes two special items. Elizabeth Wood, who has been working on family papers, has kindly contributed an article on Stephen Penton, the Principal who built us the Chapel and who was a friend of the Wood family. Jane Moody, who played a large part in organizing the lunch for the retiring English tutors, has written about the occasion, and the Magazine is pleased to reproduce the literary responses of Reggie Alton and Bruce Mitchell.

FROM THE PRINCIPAL I RETURNED from a fruitful two terms' leave to find that my absence had produced no deterioration in either academic or sporting standards, nor any loss of spirits. I have been pondering whether this means that a Principal is unnecessary, that anyone can do the job, or that Dr Todd is exceptional. My unbiassed view is that the last must be true.

This year sees the retirement of Professor Matthews who has long been that welcome member of the Governing Body, a Professorial Fellow who takes a real interest in the college. Also retiring is Dr Bruce Mitchell. After years of service to the college,

ending with a period as Vice-Principal, he is going out in a blaze of scholarly glory; he was given a D.Litt. earlier this academic year, and was recently awarded the Sir Israel Gollancz Memorial Prize by the British Academy. Finally we shall be losing Mr Reggie Alton, who for nearly twenty years was all the Bursars the college had, and in those capacities saw us through our period of major development from hall to college. In the late 70's and early 80's he was Vice-Principal, and on my appointment kindly agreed to stay on for a further year to settle me in. Since then he has been expending his energies on academic matters, not least being chairman of the Ruskin Committee (which has charge of the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art), and Editor of the Review of English Studies. The departure of Bruce and Reggie, following that of Graham Midgley a few years ago, means that the English school, which they developed from the early fifties, will be under completely new management. In the early part of Trinity Term the current English students organised a lunch for these three and Mrs Ogilvie-Thomson, and some 150 ex-students of theirs came to wish them a good retirement.

We have welcomed eight new Fellows in the course of the year: Dr Lucy Newlyn (English), Dr Mike Reed (Computation), Dr Maryanne Martin (Psychology); four Junior Research Fellows: Mr Ying Chang, Mr Richard Gaskin (Claude Jenkins Felows), Mr Stephen Hesselbo (B.P. Fellow) and Mr Mark Dickinson (C.E.G.B. Fellow); and Dr James Naughton of the Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages.

Some of the sporting competitions which we usually win did not materialise this year. There was no Water-polo, and no seven-asides Rugby League. We won Rugby Cuppers for the ninth successive year, thus beating our previous record. For the rest, read through your Magazine. Last year we achieved 16 Firsts in Schools. At the time of going to press 10 have already been recorded for this year.

During the year we have been occupied with the new legislation on Freedom of Speech, with re-organising our arrangements for moral tutoring so as to give more choice to undergraduates and better representation for our women students, and, as ever, with the question of endowment. The bed and breakfast business for the summer months at Isis has got off to a good start. Some of us sampled it at the end of term and can vouch for its value.

Sadly, Cyril Anslow, after a year's illness, died in late July. Dr Kelly has written a short appreciation on another page. Cyril had been a much loved figure in college for fifty years, and I am sure old members will join me in offering condolences to his widow.

I should like to thank, on beha1f of the college, all those who contributed to the Norham St Edmunci Appeal, now successfully completed, and those who worked so effectively to bring that success about. Perhaps special mention should be made of Sir William Nield, who masterminded the resuscitation of the Appeal and the Revd. Graham Midgley, who carried it through to completion.

May I wish you all a happy and successful New Year.

THE PRINCIPAL AND FELLOWS became Chairman of the St Cross Building Committee in Michaelmas Term, and Chairman of the Conference of Colleges in Trinity Term. He gave a paper at a conference in Murcia on higher education, on the topic 'Las Universidades inglesas: su historia i su actualidad'. He has also given a paper on Stoicism to the University Classical Society.

Mr. R. E. Alton continues as Editor of The Review of English Studies, as Chairman of the Committee for the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art, and as member of the Secondary Examinations Council Committee for English at 18 plus. He has been re-appointed by the Vice-Chancellor as delegate to the Oxford and Cambridge Schools Examination Board. He has been elected President of the Oxford University Authentics Cricket Club.

Dr. S. R. Harley took his family to Australia in January, visiting Sydney, Canberra and Hobart, giving a number of talks and organising his next visit to the Antarctic in January 1988. He has also been engaged in experimental work in Scotland.

Professor W. B. Matthews has been elected Second VicePresident of the Royal College of Physicians of London.

Dr. D. I. Scargill has been Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Oxford Preservation Trust for the last 12 years, an organization of which A. B. Emden was a founder member in the late 1920s.

Mr. C. J. Wells has been appointed Assessor for 1988-89. His paperback edition of German: A Linguistic History to 1945 (O.U.P.) was published in June 1987.

Dr. A. B. Worden has become Literary Director of the Royal Historical Society and has published Stuart England (Phaidon Press).

Mr. D. A. Wyatt has acted in selected cases before the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg when academic commitments THE PRINCIPAL

3

allowed. He is due to visit Florida State University School of Law in August and September 1987 and will conduct a number of classes in the Law of the European Communities. His second edition of Wyatt and Dashwood's Substantive Law of the EEC is to be published in September 1987. He completed 4 years of office as a Town Councillor (Abingdon) and District Councillor (Vale of White Horse) in May 1987, and did not stand for re-election.

THE SENIOR COMMON ROOM THE GOVERNING BODY has

appointed Dr. F. J. C. Rossotti to serve as Vice-Principal from the date of Dr. Mitchell's retirement, 1 October 1987. Various other changes have also taken place in college offices. Mr. Slater succeeds Mr. Wells as Dean in April1988 when the latter becomes Assessor. Dr. Scargill replaces Mr. Briggs as Tutor for Admissions and, in turn, is succeeded as Secretary to the Governing Body by Dr. Phillips. Dr. Anne Taylor takes up the new office of Tutor for Women and Dr. Kouvaritakis is Tutor for Graduates.

The three retiring Fellows, Mr. Alton, Dr. Mitchell and Professor Matthews have all been elected to Emeritus Fellowships of the College. Mr. Alton matriculated as an undergraduate of the Hall in 1938 and after distinguished war service was elected a Tutorial Fellow in 1953, serving for very nearly 20 of the last 34 ,years as Bursar and 5 years as Vice-Principal. He remained Investment Bursar until as recently as 1981. Dr. Mitchell was elected to a Tutorial Fellowship in 1955, becoming University Lecturer in English Language in 1964. He has held numerous college offices including those of Junior Dean, Tutor for Graduates and VicePrincipal. His many publications culminated in the appearance of Old English Syntax (The Clarendon Press) in 1985. Professor Matthews became a Professorial Fellow in 1970 on his appointment to the University Chair of Clinical Neurology. He has been President of the Association of British Neurologists, President of the Neurological Section of the Royal Society of Medicine, and his researches into the nervous system have yielded important benefits, particularly in the treatment of multiple sclerosis.

Three new Fellows have been elected during the course of the " academic year. Mr. Mark Dickinson is Central Electricity Generating Board Junior Research Fellow in Engineering and joined the Governing Body in April 1987. Dr. James Duncan Naughton, University Lecturer in Central European Studies, became Fellow by Special Election in July 1987. Dr. John Spurr 4

has also been made Fellow by Special Election following his award of a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship. Dr. Stephen Flood resigned his Fellowship in January 1987 on his appointment as Senior Metallurgist with Alcan.

The teaching of English goes on in spite of retirements, which include that of Mrs. Sarah Ogilvie-Thomson, Lecturer for the last 12 years. To assist Dr. Newlyn the College has appointed Mrs. Katherine Ward-Perkins to a Stipendiary Lecturership in English Language and Literature (Medieval and Renaissance).

Other changes include the appointment of Ms. Hayley Davis as Junior Dean, Mr. Chang as Cover Dean and Ms. L. S. Wild and Mr. A. S. Hurn as Sub Deans of NSE and Isis respectively.

HONORARY FELLOWS have been elected by the Governing Body.

Professor Harold Fletcher Brooks, D.Litt., John Oldham Scholar, formerly Professor of English at Birkbeck College, London.

The Rt. Hon. Sir Nicolas Browne-Wilkirison, P.C., sometime Lecturer in Law at the College, and now a Lord Justice of Appeal and Vice-Chancellor of the Supreme Court (head of the Chancery Division of the High Court).

Professor Roy Harris (matric. 1951), M.A., D.Phil., F.R.S.A., formerly Professor of Romance Languages in this University and now Professor of General Linguistics.

Professor Kenneth Muir, M.A., F.B.A. (matric. 1926), Shakespeare scholar and formerly Professor of English Literature in the University of Liverpool.

FOUR NEW HONORARY FELLOWS

ELECTION OF ASSESSOR AN ELECTION was held in the Senior Common Room on Wednesday 11 March 1987 to elect an Assessor for the proctorial year 1988-89. Mr. Christopher Wells was elected and will begin his duties in March 1988.

The office of Assessor is closely associated with that of the proctors. St Edmund Hall elected proctors on the last two occasions when the College was entitled to do so and it is now the Hall's turn to appoint the Assessor. Like the proctors, the Assessor serves on various university committees and, in recent years, has taken on particular responsibilities relating to graduates. The

5

prospect of dealing with graduate problems should hold few fears for Christopher Wells who, for the last four years, has been both College Dean and Senior Member of the Ball Committee.

DON FILER who were up before 1977 will remember that in those days we had a Manciple. The last holder of this ancient title was Don Filer. He retired as Manciple in 1977 but continued to work for the Hall part-time until earlier this year by which time he had completed 60 years of service to the College, a magnificent record. Mr. Filer's recollections of the Hall go back to the early years of A.B.E.'s Principalship, and he has been persuaded to write about some of these.

'I started at the Hall on 22 March 1927 and retired (full-time) in December 1977. My wage when I joined the Hall was twelve shillings and sixpence per week (75p) and in those days it was a 7 day week for all the kitchen staff, including the Manciple Mr. A. Reeve. The kitchen was very small, a coal range and a gas stove, and all the food had to be carried across the Quad to the Dining Hall, not so good in wet weather and snow on the ground. I think there were about 40 undergrads living in. Apart from working in the kitchen one of my duties (and I've no idea why) was to go into the Chapel every Sunday and pump the bellows for the organ for the evening service, and if you didn't pump fast enough the music got slower and slower.

At the end of the summer term I had to find a job away for the season as the College closed down apart from the Principal and Vice-Principal. For several years I went to the Wells Hotel in Llandrindod Wells, and later to the Ocean Hotel in Newquay, Cornwall. During that time we received no retaining fee from the Hall but it was good experience working in these first class hotels and you learnt a lot. Also I received fifteen shillings per week and had a free return railway ticket.

During my years service at the Hall I worked under five Principals. I started work in the kitchens as an apprentice chef but my first year seemed to be spent in making up the coal range, scrubbing tables, peeling onions and carrots and chopping parsley.

However later on I 'rose' to be Vegetable Cook, then Pastry Cook (my favourite job), Second Cook, Chef, then Manciple. Mr. R. E. Alton was the Bursar and it was he who told me that I was being made Manciple. That was shortly before we moved into the new kitchens and Dining Hall.

MEMBERS OF THE HALL

Bowls? Well I still enjoy playing. I now play for Headington Bowls Club. I received my County Badge in 1970 and have played about 20 games for them, but have not played for many years. I found it got far too expensivt:. I still play for the Inter-College Club and have had lots of success, having won the singles 6 times including last year 1986, the pairs 6 times, once with Cyril Anslow in 1974, and the fours 5 times. I well remember the Hall one year winning the lot.

I have lots of good memories of the Hall. I well recall the grey slates being removed from the north side of the Quad and being replaced by Stonesfield Slates, also the building of the Canterbury Buildings and their opening by the Archbishop of Canterbury. I think that one of the many changes that have taken place is that conditions are now rather easy going, whereas when I joined the Hall everyone knew their place from the Principal to the kitchen porter. No one was allowed to dine in Hall unless he wore a suit and gown. The staff called the undergrads 'Sir', but when the Hall played hockey, rugby, football, or rowed in the Eights, 90 per cent of the staff supported them. Indeed at the Varsity Rugby match at Twickenham six or seven coach loads of college servants made the journey, but today I doubt if any member of the staff supports the Hall.

When I was interviewed for the job by the Vice-Principal, the Rev J. S. Brewis, I was asked what school I attended (and my headmaster had to send a report on me), what church I attended, what my father's occupation was, and I had to show a specimen of my handwriting. How different from today.'

Mr. Filer is still active in retirement, working five mornings a week in the garden of Lady Florey, widow of the late Provost of Queen's. We wish him a long and happy retirement.

MURIEL RADFORD MEMORIAL PRIZE (originally ÂŁ400, now ÂŁ500), was instituted by Professor Eric Radford to commemorate his wife.

The prize is given to support some enterprising venture which can be seen at least potentially to contribute to the good of society, where that is not to be construed narrowly as British society. The first holder was Mr. Tim Hooper, who took an orchestra to perform in various towns in West Germany. He was followed by Mr. Michael Kell, who did a study of the Black Economy in the United States. The prize was also used to help Ms. F. H.

GIFTS TO THE COLLEGE of Mr. Paul Foote, a number of old members have sent money to the College to help commemorate Mr. Michael Pike (1948) who died recently. By June 1987 the amount received had reached ÂŁ1,800. The Governing Body have decided that the income should be used to give one or more Michael Pike prizes.

These prizes will be awarded to junior members of St Edmund Hall in residence who propose to engage in some outdoor activity AT THE SUGGESTION

8

for which a spirit of enterprise and physical endurance is required.

Ventures with an academic purpose are not excluded provided that they are in some way adventurous and physically demanding. The prizes will be awarded annually by the Governing Body on the recommendation of the Principal and the Dean.

Professor Masafumi Masabushi has presented the College with a very attractive Japanese red lacquer vase. It is displayed in the dining room of the Principal's lodgings where the decor is red.

Mrs Audrey Blackman has paid for the restoration of the Haynes pictures in the Senior Common Room. There is a family link between the Haynes and that of her late husband, Professor Blackman.

Mr & Mrs. Posgate have given the College £4,000 towards the cost of equipping Isis for student use. Their son, Richard, matriculated in 1977.

Mr. James Ede has valued the Cave-Browne-Cave antiquities at £7,000 for insurance purposes. The gift consists of: three small limestone and one terracotta head from Cyprus, dating from the 6th century BC; two heads in stucco from the area of modern Peshawar, dating from the 2nd- 3rd centuries AD; a marble head of Dionysos, Roman of the 2nd century AD; the large head of a female of the same date; a small marble head of a child, probably Roman of the 1st- 2nd century AD. The Governing Body is making arrangements for the display of Mr. Cave-Browne-Cave's gift.

Dr. Frederick Brockhues has recently announced his intention of making a further gift of money to the Hall for building purposes.

The precise amount and its use is still under discussion with Dr. Brockhues' financial advisers and fuller details will be given in the next edition of the Magazine. Meanwhile the College expresses its warm appreciation of this further act of generosity.

The College is grateful, too, for the financial support given in various ways by the St Edmund Hall Association. Recent gifts include £500 towards the cost of a women's boat, £250 for medical electives, £125 for improving the facilities of the music room, and £125 for planting in the graveyard.

We have been very pleased to receive from Mr. Gerald H. D. Pitman of Sherborne, Dorset, a manuscript Diary for the years 1886-88 which was kept by Charles Henry Fullmer. For most of these years, Fullmer was an undergraduate of the Hall, and his diary provides a fascinating record of life here under 'the Chief', Principal Moore. There are also some pen-and-ink sketches of the Hall as Fullmer knew it.

TOBIAS THE PRINCIPAL'S DOG HE IS, OF COURSE, a Border Terrier-an intrinsically superior form of dog- and one with a pedigree longer than that of most of your readers.

The Principal To the Editors of the Aularian June 1987

There is no mistaking an Oxford dog. It is as analytical as Aristotle, nosing about for whatever will satisfy its innerconsciousness. When an Oxford dog is in repose, or sits up and looks at you, there is a smug expression on its face, as though it had just mastered the verb deponent.

J. G. Sinclair Portrait of Oxford, 1931 Stat. Antiq. Univ. Oxon. forbids the keeping of sporting dogs within the precincts of the Hall under penalty of fourpence.

A. B. Emden, 1927 FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE M.C.R. Middle Common Room have made this year particularly active. Due to an improved financial position, we have been able to provide a tremendous range of events and services.

With Mrs. Brown's continued friendship and help, the MCR could not help but remain an inviting and comfortable place to be.

Social events ranged from the traditional Wine and Cheese evenings with the Fellows to numerous 'Beer and Pie' parties, as well as a 'Hawaiian Drinks Party', complete with limbo dancing.

Our annual dose of Americana came with the Superbowl party and the rise and fall of our own American Football team.

Elsewhere in this athletic MCR our results were-well-mixed.

Our only team to come through the year unbeaten was the MCR cricket side (no pitch-no games). Our football side and TWO MCR VIIIs did credit (?) to the Hall.

During Trinity Term a trip to the Mystery Plays, complete with a medieval banquet, was arranged by Mary Betley. At the Garden Party, the reins of power were transferred to Paul Billyard (President) and Jane Ivinson (Steward), making up the first allEnglish regime in over a decade.

Dan Weary MEMBERS OF THE

10

J.C.R. OFFICERS A. J. ROLFE succeeded M. C. Field as President of the Junior Common Room when his term of office finished at the end of December 1986. N. E. Sharrock was elected to succeed A. J. Gowans as Steward and will serve until Hilary Term 1988. A. J. Watson has handed over as Social Secretary to Miss L. C. Booth.

MORE HIGH TECH last year I summarized developments covering three topics: telephones, libraries and data communications. Much has happened and I can now report on the state of play as it affects the Hall: complete, in progress, nearly started.

A new university-wide telephone system has been purchased and installed.

Twelve miles of underground ducting, three major and twelve minor switching centres, new telephone instruments, all are now installed. Taken overall a most satisfactory project (despite some criticism) which has brought benefits to all. You may have noticed that the new Hall number is Oxford 279000 and that you can dial in directly to individual extensions.

Libraries- this refers to University libraries, not that in St. Peter-in-theEast-the pilot project is running smoothly and students and staff can now 'interrogate the catalogue' containing records of 95o/o of the holdings of the faculty libraries for English, Social Studies and Modern Languages. Further there are firm plans for all Bodleian accessions to be carried out on another, and bigger, library computer system with a planned starting date of 1st January 1988. The convenience of this system to readers will become apparent in time; how long depends critically on how soon the University can afford to convert the existing records: How many records?

About 6 million And the cost Say ÂŁ2 each IN THE MAGAZINE

Finally data communication: the Hall has purchased 3 IBM compatible microcomputers. These are proving popular with graduates (for word processing) and they will be attached to the university-wide network during the summer. Their use can then be extended in many other ways; e.g. access to the Cambridge University Library catalogue, or communication with Regional Computer Centre systems at Manchester, Rutherford or London.

If anyone wants to know more please get in touch with me; the best way is probably to drop me a line, but the porter can also help ...

C. E. Phelps THE JASPARS MEMORIAL LECTURE THE FIRST Jaspars Memorial Lecture was given in the Hall of St Edmund Hall on Tuesday 15 September 1987 by Dr. Michael Argyle, Reader in Social Psychology in the University of Oxford. The subject was 'Social Cognition and Social Interaction'.

THE CAMELOT BALL THE COLLEGE returned

to medieval times for the Ball this year, taking Camelot as its theme. Praise was overflowing for the decor, with a large sword in a stone in the graveyard and a magnificent dragon suspended from the ceiling of Wolfson

11

Hall. Beautiful flower arrangements abounded and jesters grinned at the guests.

To set off these decorations, extensive and highly creative lighting was employed to great effect. This year the cocktail bar was discreetly lit by ever-changing multicolour lighting.

Yet again the entertainment formed the hub of the Ball. The Mint Juleps returned and once again were a roaring success. Man Wilson proved popular and Deacon Blue, widely reputed to be this year's rising stars, performed excellently, if a little loudly. Other venues resounded to the sounds of local and university bands, jazz, soul, reggae etc. A new idea was the use of a trumpeter to play fanfares and entertain the guests queueing to enter the Ball.

At last we were able to serve the main meal on real plates. Gone were the days of floppy paper plates to the relief of all concerned. The meal continued the Camelot theme with steaks and such like which, needless to say, went down rather well.

I feel that, as in years past, the inherent expertise built up over the years meant that the Ball was an efficient and well-executed event. The Ball is a highlight of the year within and outside of College, also providing a marvellous opportunity for College members to gain a unique experience of many forms of management.

Thanks to our Senior Member, the College Staff, the Ball Committee and everyone else involved.

Mark Feeley FROM THE CHAPLAIN to report that there has been an increased interest in the Chaplaincy during the past academic year, although chapel attendance has not always been very large. It has been especially heartening to see a number of loyal and regular chapel attenders being involved in various interest groups and activities in and around college.

We have maintained the usual pattern of worship in Chapel, with the main Sunday service alternating between a Sung Eucharist and Evensong with a visiting preacher. The services of readings and music for Advent and Passiontide, at the end of Michaelmas and Hilary Terms respectively, have been well supported, and I am particularly grateful for the work Luke Goss, the organ scholar, and the choir have put into these services. On Ash Wednesday we used the service from the new Holy Week services book, recently published by the Liturgical Commission. In Trinity Term we have continued to use the beautiful crypt chapel of St. Peter in the East for our mid-week celebrations of the Eucharist. As well as the usual round of worship in Chapel it has been good too to welcome old members back to celebrate weddings and baptisms. Three Aularians were married in Chapel, Claire Williams, A Fellow's daughter, and Stuart Ferguson, the Biochemistry Fellow, and Christina George were married in September. One Aularian returned to have his second child, Rachel, baptised in Chapel. These have all been happy occasions.

During the year we have also had a number of notable visiting preachers. In Michaelmas Term we were able to set the ecumenical tone to our worship in Chapel. Bishop Kallistos Ware gave an illuminating address on the meaning of the Eucharist from an Orthodox perspective, and the Western tradition was well represented by two Roman Catholic preachers, Fr. Roderick Strange, from the Catholic Chaplaincy, and Fr. Thomas More, the Warden of Greyfriars. Two women have also preached in Chapel this year, Pat Dodds from St. Aldate's Church, and the Revd. Helen Cunliffe, who has recently been appointed Chaplain 1 AM GLAD

12

at Nuffield College. In Trinity Term it was a privilege to welcome the Revd. Peter Lenko, a parish priest from Soweto, who spoke candidly about the situation in South Africa and suggested ways in which we could support our fellow Christians in that violent and troubled country.

As in other areas of college life, Chapel too sees its share of comings and goings. Paul Smith retired as Chapel Warden at the end of Michaelmas Term and Sarah Smith joined Emma Palmer to share this area of responsibility. I am grateful for their loyalty and for the many ways in which they contribute to the life of the worshipping community in Hall. At the end of this year we have had to say goodbye to Dr. Bruce Mitchell, who has been a regular worshipper in our Chapel and has been Dean of Chapel for the last two years. I was pleased that Bruce agreed to give an address at Evensong on the Sunday of 6th Week in Trinity Term. There were a good number in Chapel that evening, and the S.C.R. was particularly well represented, to hear Bruce's address. He spoke quite movingly of the particular witness the Chapel can make to the life of the Hall, and presented his challenge to us through his marvellous blend of amusing anecdote and perceptive comment. We wish him every fulfilment in retirement and look forward to his visits.

In many ways this has been an encouraging year and there is much to build on as we look ahead and plan for the new academic year. I am particularly concerned to make the Chapel the worshipping focus for Christians of all persuasions and temperaments in Hall. There are, of course, various aspects of Chapel life which require attention. The choir, for instance, needs to be strengthened, and in this regard it will be good to welcome a new organ scholar in October to work alongside Luke Goss. I am conscious too that there are many members of Hall who do not hold our Christian convictions and yet share an equal concern for a number of pressing moral and social issues, and for this reason I intend to start an open discussion group, which I hope will have a wide appeal and provide a forum for some of these issues. Such a group will give us an opportunity to meet with those who are looking for values to live by, or simply curious about what Christians think and believe.

Christopher Irvine A RELIC OF ST EDMUND the war, I spent a brief weekend in Oxford, and on Sunday went to tea with the Principal, Mr. A. B. Emden. Looking into Chapel, I had noticed that the alter cross and candlesticks were smaller than those of my day, and in the course of conversation, I mentioned this and was told that the new ones were better suited to the size of the altar table.

The Principal then asked if I remembered a large, plain wooden cross that used to stand in the ante-chapel. I replied in the affirmative, and he explained that as the chapel services had no need of a processional cross, he had presented it to a friend, vicar of a Cambridge church. Some months later, a senior member of the Hall, on a brief visit, enquired the whereabouts of this cross, adding that when he was in residence, it was rumoured that the cross contained a relic of St Edmund. Imagine the Principal's astonishment and concern. He immediately telegraphed his friend the vicar, asking for the cross to be examined by a cabinet maker for a hidden cavity. Much to the Principal's relief, the search proved negative.

Several months later, the Principal was invited to accept a bequest of books and manuscripts left to the Hall library by the late Canon Liddon. The Principal and JUST AFTER

13

Senior Tutor, Mr. G. R. Brewis, drove to Canon Liddon's home, near Oxford, to examine and collect the gift, when the late Canon's sister said 'Would you care to take this small wooden cross which always stood on my brother's desk? It is said to contain a relic of St Edmund'.

Examination showed a small sliding panel in the back of the upright portion of the cross. Inside the cavity, wrapped in cotton wool, was a sliver of bone. This was examined by a medical professor who pronounced it to be part of a human femur, and that it was 'green' bone, i.e. it had never been kept underground, in the soil.

Further research revealed that in the early years of the present century, restoration work at the Abbey of Pontigny had necessitated the removal of certain tombs, including that of St Edmund. In the course of this work, a small sliver of bone had become detached, and the Abbot had given it to the Principal of St Edmund's College, Ware (Hertfordshire). He had passed the fragment on to his friend, Canon Liddon, who was then a tutor at the Hall. I believe it now reposes in the Chapel sacristy.

Edgar Brice Organ Exhibitioner 1922-26 Dr. Brice is correct. The cross is in safe keeping and used on occasions in chapel.

STEPHEN PENTON, PRINCIPAL OF ST EDMUND HALL 1675-1684: WITH EXTRACTS FROM HIS LETTERS TO THOMAS WOOD OF LITTLETON, MIDDLESEX. THESE LETTERS, about 20 in all*, to Thomas Wood are in a collection of some 360 letters and papers belonging to the Wood family of Littleton, Middlesex 1 • They range from the first half of the 17th century to mid-19th century. I became interested in Stephen Penton when selecting material for an article in Oxoniensia on letters from Oxford 2 • These are chiefly from Thomas Wood's sons, Edward and Robert, who were at Wadham, and include about eight from Penton.

Stephen Penton was baptised at St John's Church, Winchester on 9th April, 1639. He was a son of Stephen, of the Soke in that City. He had two brothers, Godson, the elder, was an Alderman of Winchester and was mayor two or three times. Henry, the third brother, was a member of Loncoln's Inn and became King's Counsel. Stephen never married but there were nephews and nieces mentioned in his Will, particularly, 'my nephew Harry of New College' 3• According to Foster• there was a Stephen Penton (brother of Henry), son of Godson of Winchester at St Edmund H.all 1677-81, and perhaps Rector of Shepton Beauchamp, Somerset 1688-92, and Glympton, Oxon. 1693-1732.

However, he does not appear in the list of Rectors in the Church, John Hacker being listed for those dates. Nor does he appear in his uncle's Will.

Penton was a scholar of Winchester College in 1654, and became a probationary fellow of New College in 1659. It was while at Oxford that he met Thomas Wood who matriculated at Wadham in the same year as Penton. In a letter of 17 May 1677 when writing to renew this friendship, he says that none of his concerns is great enough to keep him a month longer from seeing Wood and talking over 'the Little Passages of our Lives from the Ducks uppon the River att our first meeting to the Marrowbones at Dr. Harpars att our Parting' 5• He had

a friendly reply from Thomas Wood, the undated draft is in the collection, but Penton's next letter was in 1688, after Edward Wood had come up to Wadham.

Penton stayed in Oxford until 1670 when he became Rector of Tingewick, Bucks., a New College living. While there he was made Chaplain to Robert Bruce, 2nd Earl of Elgin and 1st Earl of Ailesbury. He wrote a number of books 6 , amongst them Apparatus ad Theologiam in usum Academarium, (1688), dedicated to Thomas the second Earl of Ailesbury.

In 1675, on the death of Dr. Thomas Tullie he was elected Principal of St Edmund Hall, with the proviso that a fellow of the Queen's College be appointed to Tingewick, and they chose Lancelot Bland. Penton was an energetic and popular Principal, who played a great part in raising money to build the Chapel and Library, partly by selling some of the College silver. The Chapel was consecrated on 7 April, 1682 by the Bishop of Oxford, the renowned Dr. Fell.

In 1684 he resigned the Principalship through iii-health and became Rector of Glympton, Oxon., staying there until September, i693, when he was presented to the Rectory of Wath-by-Ripon by the Earl of Ailesbury. On 28 May 1701 he was collated to the third Prebendal stall of Ripon Cathedral, remaining in the North until his death in 1706. In 1702 he gave a considerable number of books to the Bodleian 7 • • His letters are extremely lively in style and with characteristic spelling and punctuation, which have been retained in the transcriptions. They are mainly about friends made when the two men were at Oxford, or neighbours of the Woods at Littleton, where Penton was a fairly frequent and welcome visitor. His references to current affairs are crisp and very much to the point. They also show that he took a great interest in the well-being of Thomas Wood's sons at Oxford, and judging by their letters home they were fond of him too. When Edward Wood read verses in the Sheldonian at the celebrations for the Coronation of William Ill in 1689, Penton was quick to write to his father with congratulations'. Robert Wood was trying for a fellowship at All Souls, as Founder's Kin, in which he was successful in April 1695. In a letter he mentioned seeing 'Mr. Penton, who was very copious of his good advice' 9 • Although they contain many references to his health, he never seems to have let illness interfere with his life. He was a conscientious pastor, especially for those times and made generous provision for his parishioners at Wath in his Will 10 • On 26 October 1706 the non-Juror Hearne wrote in an obituary of Pen ton (who had been a good friend to the non-Jurors): '... He might have had other preferment if he had pleas'd but he always declin'd Greatness being a truly Honest Good Man, and an Excellent Scholar, and of so good and facetious temper (without Reserve) that he was belov'd by all that knew him .. .'

Step hen Penton was buried in the South Transept of St Mary's Church at Wath.

On the wall above his grave is an epitaph written by himself, which makes a fitting conclusion to this short account of his life and letters.

THREE OF PENTON'S LETTERS in Oxford. Aug . 21. [16] 95 Dear Mr Wood Coming to Oxford, I intended quickly ¡ to Congratulate Mr Robert with his Conquest (as I must needs call his Fellowshipp) but he was so kind as to prevent mee, by coming to mee first: you will easily Imagine that this meeting of ours was much more cheerful!, then those hee and I formerly made in Contrivance when the Feare of miscarrying, in so difficult an Undertaking, Spoyl'd the Pleasure which the Hopes of so Great an Advantage would otherwise have Caused . ..

Your most Affecte Steph. Penton Robert Wood was admitted as Fellow of All Souls on 17 April1695. At this time Pen ton was Rector of Wath-by-Ripon, but seems to have spent a good deal of time away from the Parish.

Dearest Mr Wood I hope you do not Flatter your Self that I am returned into the North, and that so you shall escape the Trouble I threatned because you have not seen mee all this while, Assure your Self it will fall heavy some time or other, For I am uncertain whether I shall go back befor christmas: Mr. Robert Wood told mee the Good newes of his Brothers Concern, And I pray God to send him (and all the rest of your Dear Children) the choicest Blessings of a Married (that is) of the Best State of Life when wisely contrived-Because I cannot! Dance, I will not come near Littleton, till this joyfull Hurry be over, and your Hous all bee Empty again ...

Your most Affecte Steph Penton Edward Wood married Elizabeth, daughter and heiress of Henry Bridger, of Guildford, deceased, on 8 November 1695. After they were married they lived at Hampton, until they moved to Littleton on Thomas Wood's death in 1724.

Never since I came into the North have I had the Sense or Courage to write, no, not to the Persons whom I Love as dearly as I do mine own Eies, so great was the Oppression I Laboured under for fear of a Sad Account of Affaires: I thanck God for the Removal/ of a great share of thos fears, though I beleev some ill Effects of them will Dye with me: One Sorrow more, I pray God free me from by perfecting your Recovery (from a Calamitous Indisposition) for the Good of your Excellent Family and the Neighbourhood: . ..

AN ENGLISH OCCASION ON SATURDAY 16 May 1987, over one hundred and fifty guests gathered to mark the retirement of Graham Midgley, Reggie Alton, Bruce Mitchell and Sarah Ogilvie-Thomson. The occasion was marked by the discovery of two ancient manuscripts, one Chaucerian, the other Old English, and they are reproduced below. The origin of the former might possibly be betrayed by its title, Littera Altonii. The fragment of Old English verse, found in the room on Staircase IV occupied by Bruce Mitchell from 1968 to 1987, and possibly attributable to him, is a thane's account of this event. Whilst the author disclaims himself as a 'crude workman in the Old English metal', the poem, he hopes, 'gives some details of what must have been a moving day in the St Edmund Hall of the late twentieth century.

We invited back to the party former English undergraduates from 1954 onwards, although we regret that some people, for one reason or another, were missed. In the letter circulated, we suggested that Aularians might like to send us their favourite stories about the four retiring dons. The response to this was so enthusiastic that The Complete Quirks,* a collection of anecdotes, was published at the party, with material from over fifty contributors.

A 'Party Committee', made up of eight undergraduates from the different years (most of whose names are scattered through the Old English manuscript) and the present Fellow in English, Lucy Newlyn, organized drinks in the graveyard, accompanied by a string quartet, to be followed by a buffet lunch in the Wolfson Hall. The presentation of gifts-a marble dog's head for E.G.M., a pair of engraved 1740 glasses for R.E.A., an ancient Danish spear head for R.B.M., a deep blue Persian rug for S.J.O.T.-was incorporated into a One Act Cento, 'Ceci

n'est pas une piece'. This was a humorous dramatic conglomeration of literary quotations and references-a finalist's nightmare journey through English Literature, presided over by an irrepressible Stetson (Dan Abnett). In the same spirit, the speeches of Reggie Alton and Bruce Mitchell which followed, were remarkable for their 'extemporaneous' recall of Shakespearean allusion to retirement and English Schools' class lists over the last thirty years respectively.

We hope that the book will in some way perpetuate the mixture of humour, nostalgia and affection which characterised the event, as well as reflecting our appreciation of all that the four have done for St. Edmund Hall. I think those of us who were there became very aware of how privileged we have been to share in the traditions they have created and sustained, and we hope that the party conveyed that gratitude.

But seriously, thank you for coming, or sending, or giving, or organizing- and for the overwhelmingly generous and magnificent pair of eighteenth-century glasses. Old men forget, but I shall not forget a day like that. Jeannine joins me in gratitude, and makes the wise remark that the gathering was a living justification for Oxford's college and tutorial system, at present much under attack.

TRANSLATION I tell this story of the Hall to generous and good men and women. First I praise Canon Kelly-powerful cleric, leader in the Hall and leader in wine, 1 famous author, bold with the squash ball, a man from the north. Now must I sing the well-known Midgley, wise priest, skilled in carving wood and marble, and the martial Alton, boldest of men, skilled in handwriting, skilful with words- friends in the Hall for forty years, long-suffering in teaching. I heard a more hateful story. Bruce the mug-bearer, keen on beer-drinking, grimmest of tutors, ground grammar in, a speaker from the south-horrible sound-three and thirty years teaching pupils, very vigorous at sentences. 2 Time went by. Then came from

Scotland the fair Sarah a lover of dogs-wisest of animals- teaching dog-English. 3 • • • ' Spring was come fresh in the fields. Four days before Dunstan died- deedfamous leader, head of the English people, good archbishop-a feast was organised, generous provision for old and young all together, for men and women. Famous was the day. The guests, joyous at the wine pouring, laughed and shouted, clamoured and dinned, ate and drank. Then came Andrew, Duffy's son, declaimed to all a successful speech, spoke in his own words about four ancient teachers about to retire, and his companions performed a medley- Stetson one of six directed the play-along the mead-benches mixed up the poets. The hall resounded. The heroes exulted. Thanks be to you, eloquent thanes-Stewart and Sean, Stetson Abnett's son, Emma and Heather glorious girls, Cheryl was the third, and the generous Andrews- the son of Gamble and the son of Duffy! The gentle Helen was on the committee'a and kindly-disposed Kate, Botting's daughter.

Lucy the teacher, dear to her pupils, brought _gifts from far ways, mighty treasures famous in the Hall. Many saw the precious things, four gifts carried into the hall- gleaming goblets of shining glass, Graham's dog, a Danish spearhead, a weaving for Sarah- wondrous spectacles. Praise be to thee, fair Lucy!

The splendid band of warriors rejoiced in their tutors. Loud was the revelry.

The heroes beheld a mighty wonder, renowned in the Hall. Jane-Moody's daughter, clever girl- put together witty stories, set down in writing many a bon mot, recalled many an incident about the retiring four. Praise to thee too, dear 5 author! ... 6 Nostalgic of thought the four spoke-many listened-emotional of countenance they praised that day's work, said thanks to men and women, to generous comrades, not one of whom remembered the wearisome words accusative bone or genitive ba!s. 7 All had forgotten Milton and Marvel!, Marlowe and Spenser, Thackeray the severe. But they were a good crowd! ... 8 Shades of night approached. Reluctant at eventide, the English pupils and the English tutors journeyed elsewhere, left the hall with words of friendship: Life is transitory. Good deeds remain. Humans remember happy days. Use everything well, both heartbreak and joy. FLOREAT AULA FAIREST OF HALLS.

3 Presumably this means Middle English, for which there is (naturally enough) no Old English word.

'One page missing in the manuscript. No doubt the author spoke of the great developments at the Hall and of its urgent need for capital endowment. ,a When the poem was at press, a fragment of the original manuscript was discovered with the line He/en seo hnesce hondgesella Wa!S between lines 42 and 43 . The author obviously omitted it by accident when writing his fair copy.

5 The grammatically correct masculine form leojum has been scratched out and replaced by the feminine form leojre, no doubt by a women's libber skilled in Old English inflexions.

The Hall has a strict quota of places for those wishing to receive degrees in person and early enquiry is therefore advised. Degrees can be taken in absentia at any ceremony.

THE FOLLOWING DATES

THE REUNION of old members was held on Saturday 27 June 1987, those attending having matriculated in the years between 1922 and 1971.

The Principal began his speech of welcome by paying tribute to Dr. Joe Todd who, as pro-Principal, had presided during his absence on leave the previous year.

He also welcomed as guests, Dr. Michael Davies who had recently retired after many years as college doctor, and Mr. Percy James. Mr. Cyril Anslow, it was reported, was now making steady progress after his serious illness.

Everyone at the Hall had been saddened during the year by the death of the Visitor, the Earl of Stockton, whose attendance at the Feast of St Edmund on 16 November was his last public appearance. A letter of good wishes had been sent to his successor, Mr. Roy Jenkins, whom it was hoped to welcome at the corresponding occasion in 1987. Other sad losses included Mr. Peter Robbins, Mrs. Etta Gullick and Mr. Duns tan Ash by. The latter, an undergraduate, had been killed in a climbing accident and his bravery in attempting to save a friend had been recognized by a posthumous award from the Royal Humane Society.

The Principal spoke warmly of the contribution to the life of the Hall made by three Fellows who were retiring, Mr. Reggie Alton, Dr. Bruce Mitchell and Professor Brian Matthews. Amongst the many things for which Mr. Alton would be remembered were his successes in getting money for the Hall from the Colleges Contribution Fund, his five-year stint as Vice-Principal and his Editorship of the Review of English Studies. The contribution of Dr. Mitchell to Old English studies had been recognized by the award of an Oxford D.Litt.-'no mean thing to get'. Professor Matthews had entered fully into the life of the Hall since his arrival from Manchester in 1970, his contributions extending well beyond his knowledgeable and enthusiastic support of the Wine Committee. New Fellows had been welcomed to the Hall, supported respectively by GEC (Dr. Reed), BP (Mr. Hesselbo) and CEGB (Mr. Dickinson). The Principal also drew attention to

THE ANNUAL REUNION

25

the award of the Besterman Medal to Mr. Marsh and to the election of Mr. Wells as Assessor.

The Schools had produced a satisfactory crop of 16 Firsts, whilst the Hall's sporting achievements had included the Rugby Cup~for the ninth time-and a cup for ballroom dancing. The Isis building on the Iffley Road had been occupied since October 1986. For three months in the summer it was available for bed and breakfast and old members were warmly invited to make use of its facilities which include a notable 'full English breakfast'.

The Principal concluded with various items of university news and by referring to the newly-established fund set up by his friends in memory of Michael Pike.

Replying to the toast of 'Floreat Aula', the President of the St Edmund Hall Association, Roger Farrand, thanked the Principal and Fellows for the Reunion.

He expressed his pleasure at the presence of twelve of the Fellows and at the record of 16 Firsts, a far cry from his own decade of the 1950s. He commended to old members the forthcoming publications of the Association, one a book of affectionate essays about life at the Hall, another a collection of JCR songs. He closed by emphasising his desire to see the Association still more closely involved in the life of the College, not only in fund raising but also in providing advice about careers.

There were present: The Principal, The Vice-Principal (Dr. Mitchell), the President of the St Edmund Hall Association (Mr R. A. Farrand 1955), Mr Percy James, Dr Michael Davies, Fellows (Mr R. E. Alton 1938, Rev H . E. J. Cowdrey, Dr J. D. Todd 1942, Dr D. I. Scargill 1954, Mr A. I. Marsh, Mr J. B. Knight, Dr C. E . Phelps, Admiral G. C. Leslie, Dr Lucy Newlyn, Dr G. M.

ST EDMUND HALL ASSOCIATION MINUTES OF THE 56TH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATION -13 JANUARY 1987 THE 56TH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATION was held in the Smoking Room of Simpson's-in-the-Strand, 100 Strand, London WC2R OEW on Tuesday 13 January 1987 at 6.15 p.m., The Rev. Graham Midgley presiding.

32 members were present

Apologies were received from (inter a/ios):-the Rev. Dr J. N. D. Kelly: F. H. H. Finch (Hon. Dinner Secretary-on duty): L. D. A. Baron, J. P. de Courcy Meade, J. G. French, Sir Claude Hayes, W. N. Hillier-Fry, The Rev. Prof. J. McManners, J. R. Paul, I. R. K. Rae, Dr D. I. Scargill, J. D. Shortridge, J. R. Smith, The Rev. D. Walser and C. J. Weir.

Attendance was adversely affected by the weather-officially one of the coldest days of the century-both outside and inside the room.

1. MINUTES The Minutes of the 55th Meeting, held on 14 January 1986, having been published in the 1985-86 Magazine and copies being available, were taken as read, confirmed and signed by the President. There were no Matters Arising.

2. PRESIDENT'S REPORT

The Rev. Graham Midgley referred to the death on 29 December 1986 of the Rt Hon. The Earl of Stockton OM PC MA DCL LLD (Cantab) FRS FBA the Visitor (ex officio as Chancellor), aged 92. It had been confirmed by his official biographer, Alistair Home, in The Times of 30 December that his appearance at the St Edmund's Feast Dinner on 16 November 1986 had been his last public engagement. The Principal recalled that although manifestly frail, and in a wheelchair, he had attended Chapel, and his Dinner speech (incidentally recorded), though not of the full vigour of his performances of the 50's and 60's, had retained the essence of his unique contribution.

The Association itself had lost one of its more active members on 24 December 1986: Guy Barnett MA MP, aged 58.

He then announced that the Norham St Edmund Appeal had actually passed its target of £300,000, and now stood at c. £335,000-£314,859 from this country plus US $ c. 30,000 and Canadian $233 from overseas, with further overseas contributions still trickling through in response to his 'rude letter' of reminder.

It wouJd be time at the end of the month to put this Appeal to bed, and he thanked all those who had subscribed and those who had worked so hard in organising its success.

He also commiserated with the indefatigable Hon . Dinner Secretary, F. H. H. Finch, in having to cope with 35 last-minute cancellations (out of 135 booked) for the ensuing Dinner owing to transport difficulties with the snow.

3. HON. SECRETARY'S REPORT

H. A. F. Radley said that the Minute Book II (1965 to date) was nearly full and that the Hall Archivist, The Rev. H. E. J. Cowdrey, was advising on the best form of replacement. As a security precaution against loss by fire etc the earlier manuscript entry pages had been photo-copied and deposited in the Archive, the copier being no less than the President, who little knew what he was in for when he took over and deserved the warmest thanks.

4. ACTING HON. TREASURER'S REPORT D. J. Day drew attention to the Income and Expenditure Account in the Accounts for the year ended 31 July 1986 before the Meeting, which showed that the expenditure for 1986 was down on that of the previous year. It was largely this that accounted for the fairly healthy increase in the surplus of income over expenditure to £1,784. Descisions to make grants totalling £300, and an appropriation of a further £91 to the Directory Fund, left a surplus of £1,393 .

Over recent years the Executive Committee had deliberately been cautious about committing funds, due to uncertainty over expenditure on the Directory.

It now seemed likely however, that our commitment during the year 198617 (one quarter of the net cost) would be of the order of £1,000: and the £1,500 in reserve for this purpose should, therefore, be adequate.

Income for the current year was estimated as about £4,000. Our commitments during the year (apart from the £1,000 for the Directory) were expected to be:about £2,500 for the cost of the 1985- 86 Magazine, plus postage etc: a further £500 to be put aside towards the second tranche of our payment for the Directory (due in 1987 /88): and a reserve (of, say, £500) towards the next Directory, to be published in five (?) years' time. Funds might also be required to help with cash flow for the 'Hall' project. At the same time, the Association held capital assets which were only producing (investment) income. With fresh income regularly coming in from

29

subscriptions, the Committee had agreed that they would look more closely at the possibility of actually allocating some of this reserve capital for specific projects.

The Committee had recommended the Accounts for adoption by the Meeting.

The President paid tribute to D. J. Day for having so successfully taken over from R. J. L. Breese, who had been posted to Singapore by his firm while still in office-there was no truth in the rumour that Mr Day's visit there on leave had been undertaken solely on duty in order to check the Accounts. He also thanked the Hon. Auditor J. R. Paul (another snow victim that night) for-as he said last year- doing it all so magnificently, and for free!

On the proposal of the President, and duly seconded, the Balance Sheet and annexed Income and Expenditure Account for the year ended 31 July 1986, as audited and published in advance for information in the 1985- 86 Magazine, albeit with two minor printing errors- the figures ÂŁ1,222 and ÂŁ279 under Debtors should have appeared in columns 1 and 3 respectively, though correct in the copy entered in the Minute Book and in the copies before the Meeting-were unanimously adopted.

5. ELECTIONS President 1987-89 G. L. H. R. Shield said he had been doing some research on one who had matriculated in 1955 with a Second in History described at the time as 'one of the finest Seconds' (undoubtedly a II.l nowadays); a Greyhound, playing subsequently for Richmond; acquirer of a real attribute in his wife, with one of their sons getting a First at the Hall; well known to the SCR and the Association for his tireless work on the NSE Appeal as Hon. Secretary of its Committee; and with every qualification to succeed the present distinguished incumbent, especially at meetings, where he would monopolise the proceedings anyway. It gave him great pleasure to propose R. A. Farrand. The President seconded, and R. A. Farrand was elected unanimously, plauso maxima.

The following elections/re-elections were then made unanimously:Hon. Secretary 1987 (one-year appointment)- H. A. F. Radley (re-elected) Hon. Treasurer 1987 (one-year appointment)- D. J. Day (elected after serving since 30 April 1986 in an acting capacity after the resignation of R. J. L. Breese) Members of the Executive Committee by Matriculation Date Groups:Up to 1934: Sir Claude Hayes, retiring by rotation- re-elected W. N. Hillier-Fry, 1935-44: 1945- 54: no election vice D. J. Day, elected Hon. Treasurer: vacancy, by decision of the Executive Committee not to be filled pending the return to the UK of the former Hon. Treasurer R. J. L. Breese.

1955-64: M. G. M. Groves, retiring by rotation-re-elected P. R. Lewis- elected in vacancy caused by election of R. A. Farrand as President 1965-74: J. R. Smith, retiring by rotation-re-elected R. M. Ridley-elected in vacancy caused by resignation of R. A. G. White 1975-84: G. D. Wattles, retiring by rotation-re-elected Miss C. M. Bridgwood-elected in vacancy caused by resignation of C. P. Terelak 6. HON. AUDITOR 1987 (one-year appointment) J. R. Paul was unanimously re-appointed: see the President's tribute in para. 4.

30

7. BANK SIGNATORIES The Hon . Treasurer was authorised to arrange with Lloyds Bank Plc, 1-3 High Street, Oxford, for him to act as sole signatory for amounts not exceeding ÂŁ100, any above that still requiring two out of three (President, now R. A . Farrand; Hon. Secretary; and Hon. Treasurer). A copy of the Bank's official form, completed in this sense, is filed.

8. NSE APPEAL- TRIBUTES BY THE PRINCIPAL J. C. B. Gosling felt he could not let this occasion pass without expressing the Hail's gratitude over the completion of this Appeal. Thanks were due to all who had put in such hard work and devotion, and particularly to Sir William Nield who, as President, had done a mountain of initial research, and the outgoing President, who had seen through the closing stages.

9. THE OUTGOING PRESIDENT, THE REV. GRAHAM MIDGLEY Sir William Nield, the outgoing Immediate Past President, said it was difficult to propose a warm vote of thanks in such a cold room, but the warmth of the Association's appreciation was intense. During his term he had displayed vigour, efficiency and authority: he had most creditably travelled the length and breadth not only of the UK but of much of the former Empire, including our ex-colony the USA, in search of the Appeal target of ÂŁ300,000, which was now reached and indeed passed. He had been a most popular and effective President.

This tribute was endorsed unanimously, plauso maxissimo.

10. DATE OF NEXT MEETING This was provisionally fixed for 12 January 1988, the second Tuesday in January. The Vice-Principal, R. B. Mitchell MA DPhil DLitt, asked however whether the Association was absolutely wedded to this date, which usually coincided with a period of inclement weather-not just on this particular day-which made the attendance of Fellows a real problem. The Hon. Secretary, from a rapid check on his records, said the second week in January had been agreed with the Governing Body when fixing the first London Dinner held on 11 January 1933 as being the most suitable time in the vacation before Hilary Term, and on the Tuesday ever since (except in 1935 -7), with a wartime break. (A later check showed that the AGM had been held on the same day as the Summer Reunion-held with one exception at the Hail-throughout the life of the Aularian Association 1925-65, but with its transformation into the St Edmund Hall Association in 1966 it had always thenceforward been held at Simpson's before the London Dinner held on the second Tuesday in January) .

It was generally felt, however, that Dr Mitchell had a point here and it was agreed to refer the matter to the Executive Commitee's next Meeting in June.

There being no further business, the Meeting closed at 6.37 p.m., at 22 minutes not a record as for the last two years but nevertheless an achievement in that cold and with bidding goodbye to a President.

THE LONDON DINNER The 46th LONDON DINNER OF THE St Edmund Hall Association was held at Simpson's-in-the-Strand on Tuesday, 13 January 1987. The weather was at its worst, and of the 135 Aularians who accepted only 100 eventually managed to brave the ice and snow and turn up at Simpson's. A very respectable total, nevertheless, especially in the light of the travelling difficulties.

Oraham Midgley, rising for the last time as President of the Association, congratulated those present on their heroism and proceeded to welcome the

33

Association's guests. He was particularly pleased to greet the Principal and Mrs Gosling, who had missed last year's Dinner owing to the Principal's absence on sabbatical leave in the Mid-West, and to have an opportunity to thank him for all his help and cooperation during the last three years. He extended an equally warm welcome to D. M. Weary, president of the M.C.R., A. J. Rolfe, the new President of the J.C.R., and Dr Richard Hill (m.1922), a former President of the J.C.R. who was elected in 1926. There were, moreover, Graham added, two other former Presidents of the J.C.R. still flourishing who matriculated even earlier (in 1914 and 1920 respectively). The office seemed to bestow longevity.

Two of our guests were unfortunately unable to make it. Dr John Kelly had regretfully (and rightly) decided that this new ice age was not one for him to travel in. He nevertheless sent his warmest greetings to the assembled company; Graham said that he would reciprocate on our behalf. Miss Mary Boak had recently undergone a serious operation, but happily was now well on the road to recovery.

She was, Graham said, a pillar of the College and, in many ways, of the Association; a lady who has managed to keep no fewer than three Principals nearly in order was a force to be reckoned with!

At last year's Dinner the President reported that, figuratively speaking, he had spent much of his time travelling in the realms of gold on behalf of the N.S.E. Appeal. Since then he had voyaged even further afield to yet more lands of gold, to beautiful Thailand and the golden land of Burma. There the Golden Triangle had beckoned him, but he had, he assured us, very properly resisted the temptation to obtain, even for such a worthy cause as the College endowment fund, a certain substance whose street value would have rendered any future appeals quite superfluous!

He went on to describe the more exotic items on the menu of a Bangkok restaurant where he had dined. Fried frogs in curry sauce may suit some tastes, but the writer feels no urge to suggest to Simpson's that they might offer steamed serpent's head (served apparently with chili gravy or in 'tasty' soup) as a change from their customary saddle of lamb at next year's Dinner!

In a more serious vein the President turned to the N.S.E. Appeal, which, he was delighted to report, had already exceeded its ÂŁ300,000 target by more than ÂŁ35,000, and contributions were still coming in. He wished to thank all those who had helped in the struggle, the Appeal Committee, those who had organized local reunions and written to their friends and contemporaries, and all whose contributions added up to the splendid total. He wished, too, to express his special gratitude to Mrs Alicia Black, our Appeal Secretary in Oxford, who had coped so well with all the administrative and accounting work involved.

Two other projects were in active preparation; the new S.E.H. Directory, on which much hard work had been done during the past few years, and a collection of reminiscences of life at the College during this centuryto be published in book form under the title 'Hall'. Contributions had been flowing in, and the editorial staff had been kept busily engaged. It was hoped that both works would appear during the coming year.

The time had now come, Graham said, to take his leave as President. He had enjoyed the last three busy years which had kept him out of trouble during the first years of his retirement. He wished to thank in particular all members of the Executive Committee for their support and encouragement. It only remained for him to commend his successor as President of the Association, Roger Farrand, a dynamic and energetic man with a long record of service to the College and the Association. The retiring President then sat down to enthusiastic applause.

The Principal started his speech on a solemn note. His many Aularian friends

34

would be sad to hear that Cyril Anslow, whom the College had entertained only a year before to celebrate his fifty years of devoted service, was very seriously ill.

In the course of one week during the Christmas vacation the College had lost two distinguished friends. One was Guy Barnett, M.P. for Greenwich, who was at the Hall from 1949 to 1952 and had attended the London Dinner on several occasions during recent years. The other, as all Aularians knew, was our Visitor, Lord Stockton, a regular and very welcome guest at the Feast of St Edmund over many years. On 16 November, 1986, just a few weeks before his death, he had made his last public appearance at the annual celebration and given an elegant and very well-turned speech, which was recorded for posterity.

After his tribute to Lord Stockton the Principal exhorted all Aularian M.A.s to vote and help to elect a new Chancellor who should be acceptable to the College, as he would also succeed Lord Stockton as our Visitor. Above all, he said, the new Chancellor and Visitor must not he boring.

The Principal then turned to domestic matters. Aularians would be astonished to learn that there were now 41 Fellows in the College, in marked contrast to the situation in the nineteen-fifties. There had been many accessions to the body of Fellows during the past year, all of which had been recorded in the Magazine.

Nevertheless he thought fit to mention Arthur Marsh, Fellow in Industrial Relations, who had been awarded the Library Association Besterman Medal, Dr Bruce Mitchell, who had been awarded the degree of D.Litt. by the University, Dr Lucy Newlyn, who had taken over from Graham Midgley as Official Fellow in English, Dr Rose Mary Anne Martin, who had succeeded the late Dr Joseph Jaspars in Psychology, and Dr Michael Reed, Fellow in Computation. There were also four new research Fellows.

The acquisition of the Isis Hotel would bring great benefits in the form of additional accommodation for undergraduates. As a result of all the developments during recent years St Edmund Hall was now an academicallyrespectable college which continues to win, in traditional fashion, the rugger cuppers, the men's hockey, the women's cross-country, the lacrosse and athletics cuppers, and the ballroom-dancing cuppers; all during the last year. Once again, too, the College had contributed four Blues to the side which won a convincing victory in the Varsity Rubgy Match in December.

The financial difficulties which faced the University and the colleges were nevertheless very great. In his article on the future of St Edmund Hall in the 1985-86 Magazine the Principal had stressed the College's pressing need for permanent endowment on a large scale, despite the generous benefactions which it had received in recent years, all of which had been put to very good use. He therefore appealed to all Aularians to do everything they could to help secure the College's financial future and its progress into the twenty-first century.

Finally, he said, he could not end without paying his own tributes to Dr Joe Todd for all he did as Pro-Principal during his absence on sabbatical leave last year, to Sir William Nield and everyone else concerned with the successful outcome of the N.S.E. Appeal, and, of course, to the outgoing President, Graham Midgley.

It was now the turn of the newly-elected President of the Association, Roger Farrand, to address the assembly. In a felicitous and well-chosen speech he thanked the Association for electing him and outlined his plans for the next three years, which promised to be lively. To wind up the proceedings Anthony Rentoul rose and paid a special tribute to Graham Midgley on behalf of all those who remembered him as 'The Dean'.

In addition to the Association's guests the following Aularians attended the Dinner:-

AN AULARIAN DINNER

George Barner A. Warne Boyce Eric G. Curtis Alex McCallum William R. Miller William K. Patterson

Anthony P. Pearson William V. Sotirovic Elmer Sprague, Jr. John 0. Ward Alan Westaway

The toast of 'Floreat Aula' was imbibed by all present.

William R. Miller, who convened the gathering, spoke about the Norham St Edmund Appeal and encouraged Aularians resident in the U.S.A. to participate.

In fact, a small donation from the proceeds of the dinner will be sent to the Appeal on behalf of those present.

At the conclusion of the evening it was unanimously agreed to reconvene on Monday 16 November 1987 at the Sky Club to celebrate St Edmund's Day. We will hope to attract more Aularians to join us at that dinner.

HALL! Is it a sociological study of life in an Oxford College (a kind of Akenfield), a collection of nostalgic ramblings, a unique document likely to be seen on the remainder shelves of any good quality bookshop, a Best Seller, a Booker Prize Winner, is it banned from serialisation in a tabloid by a High Court injunction! Well hopefully whatever you want you might get. The only way to find out, is to buy it.

Hall was conceived out of an idea to raise money for the Hall, by your President the always red-shirted Roger Farrand aided by his Committee of volunteers! Gordon Shields as Chairman, Alan Jenkins as Editor, and me as General Factotum. The idea was for each matriculation year, we would ask an Aularian to write a piece on the Hall covering a common theme covering such topics as: WHAT IS HALL!

(a) How they came to the Hall (b) How they were financed (c) What. did they do (d)Relationship with other college members etc

•,

but also allowing for individual flair.

So far we have received over 40 contributions covering 60 years of Hall life, revealing a fascinating picture of change! It also provides the answer to a lot of the unsolved questions!

Do you have a frantic and burning desire to possess a copy? Don't rush down to your local bookshop since it hasn't been published yet.

Cheques payable to Hall! and sent to me: 44 Heathermount Drive, Crowthorne, Berkshire ROll 6HN. P. G. Slip HALL SONG-BOOK IT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED that the publication of a song-book might make a modest but worthwhile contribution to the cultural heritage of the Hall. The precise scope and format of the work have yet to be determined, but it is envisaged that its core would be a collection-words and music-of those uplifting and devotional ditties which over the years have been rendered on Sunday evenings round the JCR piano by postprandial vocal groups of varying quality but unfailing enthusiasm. Other contributions, subject only to professional advice on the law as it relates to considerations of copyright, defamation, and obscenity, might include selected items from Smokers; folksongs collected by itinerant members of the Senior Common Room; perhaps even an occasional offering from the sporting field, provided it had a peculiarly Aularian flavour.

It is also intended that scholarly notes be appended on historical and sociological points of interest. Who, for example, was Harry Shearing, and was

37

he really carried off in his prime after consuming tinned fruit supplied by the Manciple?

Help on these weighty matters, and any other contributions, suggestions, comments or assistance would be appreciated by Chris Jones, Milton Lodge, Brampford Speke, Exeter EX5 5HG (Tel: 039-284-481).

THE DIREC1DRY of the St Edmund Hall Directory is to appear soon.

This, an Association publication, is sent free of charge to all Aularians and aims to keep old friends aware of each other's whereabouts.

The records have recently been transferred from the Hall computer files to a special software package which facilitates editing and formatting of the text before it goes to press, thus considerably reducing the production costs. These costs have been made more bearable by the work of Jim Smith (1971) and the many Aularians whom he has persuaded, for a modest fee, to advertise their estimable goods and services in a vehicle circulating among several thousands of the world's leading citizens, men and women who refer to it frequently while in a mood of receptive warmth.

Great efforts have been made to ensure that titles, abbreviations, postcodes etc, appear in a consistent form throughout. Miss Elizabeth Marsh (1982) spent many more hours at the keyboard than I and is now most proficient at word-processing, and Arthur Farrand Radley (1935) put his meticulous eye to the proofs.

Please tell 'The Directory,' St Edmund Hall of any changes of address, inaccuracies or omissions so that the files can be updated. If you know of an Aularian who has moved again please keep us informed.

THE APPEAL FOR NORHAM ST EDMUND is over. The target has been reached, indeed passed.

With courage and foresight the College dipped into its slender reserves to buy St Stephen's House, an Anglican Theological College on the north side of The Parks, when it came on the market at a very reasonable price in 1979. Immediately it was possible to give almost every undergraduate two years in college accommodation (always desirable, afforded by just about every other college, who are our rivals for applications, though in no other way we know of, and now vital as the landlady market has collapsed).

The College started an appeal, mainly to old members, so that it could repair its capital base; never large by comparison with other colleges. After a couple of years the opening push by a committee of the S.C.R. had raised ÂŁ80,000. First Bill Nield, then Graham Midgley, successive Presidents of the St Edmund Hall Association, largely by their own efforts, and with the spare time help of others, organized dinners, wrote letters, made speeches, in short worked extremely hard.

These efforts have added some ÂŁ265,000, and we can rest on our laurels; except of course those who read History with G.D.R. who will have to find some other cliche-free repose.

MRS ETTA GULLICK MRS ETTA GULLICK of

whom many Aularians will have fond memories on account of her hospitality and devotion to the Hall, died on 26 September 1986. A memorial service was held on 1 November 1986 at St. Mary of the Angels Church, Bayswater, conducted by the Revd. Michael Hollings, with whom she collaborated in producing books of prayers.

PETER GEORGE DEREK ROBBINS SEH 1954-57 died in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham on 26 March 1987 as a result of a stroke.

He came to the Hall to read Modern Languages following National Service in the RAF and Bishop Vesey's Grammar School, Sutton Coldfield, where he was later a Governor.

He also came with a Rugby Football reputation having played for the England under 19 team, and it was immediately evident that here was an outstanding talent. He went straight into the University side at open side wing forward and in the following season played in all England's matches, winning 19 caps in all.

He played in the England side which won the Grand Slam during this period and was selected to tour New Zealand with the British Lions. Unfortunately in his last match before the team left he broke his leg and so missed the Tour.

In his last year he captained OURFC to victory over Cambridge at Twickenham, when the latter were odds on favourites. In his second year the Hall won Cuppers which was the start of the most successful period of rugby football in the Hall's history.

Sociable and articulate he was also known in the Modern Language Schools where he read French. This he then taught for 10 years at King Edward's School, Birmingham. He left teaching to go into Commerce in 1968 and later started his own successful business. He also entered journalism and for 20 years wrote on Rugby for the Financial Times. Fluent in the language he maintained particularly close connections with France, commentating on French Radio and also writing.

F0r his services to Anglo-French Rugby he was honoured as a Freeman of the City of Paris in 1976.

An outstanding after Dinner speaker, much in demand, he was always excellent company and through his personality and character there could have been n'o PETER ROBBINS

48

better example of a sportsman contributing with so much humour and joie de vivre to College and University life.

Our deepest sympathies are extended to his wife, daughter and son.

M. J. K. Smith MISS C. E. J. BREWIS JOYCE BREWIS, daughter of George ('The Old Brew') and sister of John ('The Young Brew'), died on Ascension Day 1987 and was buried at Wolvercote Cemetery in the same grave as her father after a service at St. Margaret's Church on 3 June. The Hall was represented by the Vice-Principal, the Domestic Bursar, Miss Sara Browne, and Dr. and Mrs. Martin Garrett. The last three were among those who lived in the flats furnished in memory of George and John Brewis at the family house in St. Margaret's Road. Joyce Brewis most generously offered the Hall first refusal of the house but it was decided not to purchase it.

R.B.M. CYRIL ANSLOW Aularians will be saddened to learn that, after several months' trying illness, Cyril died on Tuesday 28 July. His funeral took place on 4 August at St Andrew's, Old Headington (just next to his home), and the Oxford Crematorium. Only a year ago the MAGAZINE published an account of the luncheon given to him and Ethel Anslow to celebrate his completion of fifty years of service with the Hall as scout, butteryman, butler to two principals, and finally wine steward. All who knew him will recall with gratitude his remarkable combination of professional expertise with unfailing cheerfulness, mischievous wit, and eagerness to be helpful in every crisis, small and great. They offer their heartfelt sympathy to his widow.

CLUBS AND SOCIETIES THE BOAT CLUB

Captain: ANDY BROWN Ladies Captains: MELISSA MAZAN, Jo LILOU Vice-Captain: IAN GRANT Treasurer: ANDY O'CONNELL Steward: CHRIS BOWERS 1986 - 87 HAS BEEN a year of 'construction' for the Boat Club. Our aim at the beginning of the year was to create the nucleus of a strong squad both for Torpids and Eights, but also to look ahead to future years.

Michaelmas Term saw a junior development eight put together. This boat was of very mixed ability but in some respects this was its greatest asset since it allowed inexperienced oarsmen to improve. We were lucky to gain two experienced freshmen in the shape of Simon Mills and Simon Gerrish. The junior eight went on to have good races in Christ Church Regatta, very nearly reaching the semifinals in a fine race against University College. The long process of putting together novice boats also began. Enthusiasm was high, though less talent was evident than in previous years.

Hilary Term began with a visit to the Hall by Penny Chuter from the A.R.A. She gave us a highly informative talk on general training techniques; both the dinner and talk were well-attended by Hall members, guests and Old Aularians.

Fortunately last year's icy weather did not return for Torpids. The First VIII were eager to regain their place in the top division and generated a mixture of experience, strength and constructive criticism. Unfortunately the intended blades were not achieved; however bumps on Queen's and Exeter saw the Hall back where they belong, in Division One. During this term it was pleasing to see one oarsman in particular grow from strength to strength, namely Rob McAire in the engine room, ably backed up by Simon Mills. Meanwhile the M.C.R. produced a good-spirited eight which achieved three bumps.

Summer Eights saw the Hall entering eleven men's eights of which five managed to qualify. Special mention must go to the Second VIII who achieved three bumps, narrowly missing blades. Stroked by Simon Gerrish this crew produced other oarsmen with potential, in particular Edmund Caddick and Andy Gowans. The First VIII meanwhile seemed to have gained some of the size and weight lacking in the previous year. Starting sixth, the Hall provided some exciting racing against Keble, coming at us from behind; however, we were unable to spurt sufficiently to catch Worcester- perhaps next year. We did, though, manage to row over on four days and to maintain our place in the top six.

Thanks are due to those who have helped us this year: to St. Edward's School for the use of rack-space at Godstow; to Chris Morgan for his help with rigging; to our Presidents Graham Midgley and Ann Thylor; but mostly to our coaching team of Mike Pelham, Hugh Thomas and Paul Burrough. I should also like to welcome Mr. Dick Fishlock to that team. Without the support of these Aularians the Hall would never do as well.

J.A.B.

THE LADIES BOAT CLUB

THE FIRST OBJECTIVE in Michaelmas Term was the training of novices. Two novice crews entered Christ Church Regatta; both were knocked out in the first round but they had gained experience of racing and some went on to row in the First Torpid.

50

Preparations for Torpids were slow to gain momentum and showed a lack of commitment generated by shortage of coaching and equipment problems. In the circumstances the crew did very well to row over on three days, being bumped by Christ Church on the final day.

The summer term proved a successful and enjoyable one. Rigorous training directed by our newly-arrived coach and the enthusiam of the crew placed us in a strong position for Eights Week. We were unlucky not to bump Lincoln on the first day. The following day Balliol eluded us but were subsequently resoundingly bumped outside their own boathouse. On the final day the effects of three hard races manifested themselves; we came within half a length of Christ Church but failed to gain a bump. So, despite the many good crews in the lower half of the Second Division, our position was consolidated.

Thanks to the Captains, Jo Lilou and Melissa Mazan, our coach Simon Mills, and President Ann Taylor.

J.T. THE RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB

Captain: ANDY GOWANS (League) JOHN RISMAN (Cuppers) Secretary: TrM OWEN THE 1986-87 SEASON was another good one for the Hall's Rugby Club. The League side performed creditably, finishing second, whilst the Cuppers competition was won for a record-equalling seventh time.

A strong intake of freshers provided the League side with a very powerful pack, with pace and determination outside. It was therefore disappointing to lose the first game to Oriel by a single score. The next game, against a weak Jesus side was won comfortably, but the real turning point came when the Whippets were beaten 30-0. This was quite the best performance by a Hall League side for some years, with the university team being scrummaged and tackled off the pitch and the backs running in some spectacular tries. This pattern of play was repeated against University College, and proved successful in a tight game against Keble.

The final game, against Lincoln, needed to be won in order to gain a share of the title. However, the result was a 9-9 draw, the team having played below its capability.

At university level the Hall was strongly represented, with six members of the final 'Varsity Squad. Of these, Risman, Willis, Crane and Ferguson were awarded their Blues and played their part in the Oxford victory.

It was this foundation of experienced players which formed the basis of a very strong cuppers side. The first three rounds were won by sheer forward power, with the semi-final ending up as an enjoyable rout of Oriel by 40 points. Mention should also be made of the determination and enthusiasm of the Second XV who only left the competition at the third round stage because they were drawn against the First XV. The cuppers final against University College proved to be as difficult a game as we had expected. The opposition included one international, four Blues and five Greyhounds. In a very hard match the Hall ended up winners by 18-4.

A.J.G. THE ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL CLUB

Captain: BRUCE MAJOR (League) ANDY JONES (Cuppers) Secretary: FERGUS H'EATON THE FOOTBALL CLUB experienced mixed fortunes this season. The First XI avoided relegation on goal difference in the League. However with the return of the Blues

51

players and with the help of Tom Henderson (a tutor from St. Hilda's) the team reached the semi-finals of cuppers, losing to the eventual winners, Pembroke. The Second XI just missed winning their League and reached the semi-final of Second XI cuppers. The Third XI played with spirit but, with a lack of talent in front of goal, never achieved their potential.

A ladies team was entered in cuppers for the first time. They played well and sensibly declined the invitation to the club dinner.

R.F.H. THE HOCKEY CLUB

Captain: MAIT CARTER Secretary: TOM SCHNITKER AT THE START of the season the men's hockey team lacked the zest of former years that had carried them to the forefront of university hockey. A last minute 2-1 cuppers semi-final defeat by Keble left morale floundering, a feeling that was reflected later on in the year in relegation to the Second League. Occasional poor turn-outs of only seven or eight players certainly contributed towards this as we had virtually no new intake of players.

T.S.

THE LADIES HOCKEY CLUB

Captain; JUDITH LACEY Secretary: TANYA ASHBY THE LADIES HOCKEY team had a very successful season, starting in October when we were runners up to Somerville in the Wadham tournament, losing only on penalties. In the first rounds of the cuppers competition we beat Queen's 10-0, Christ Church 4-0, Keble 2-1, Magdalen 15-0, University College 6-0 and Pembroke 4-1, being the only team in the university not only to have played all our matches but also to have won them all. Six teams entered the final rounds which were all on one day. We beat Merton and L.M.H. to go into the final against St. Hugh's; despite a valiant effort from a very tired team we Ios~ 4-1.

J.L. THE CRICKET CLUB

Captain: ANDY W ATSON Secretary: STEVE BARTLEIT UNFORTUNATELY THE season was decimated by the weather, with no fewer than 12 matches having to be cancelled. In cuppers the First XI lost in the first round to Magdalen for whom Blues captain Chris Tooley made 135. The Second and Third XIs also lost in the first round.

On a more positive note there were 12 friendly matches played which included six victories and only two losses. Amongst the victories was an excellent three wicket win against The Stoics. Set to make 198, the Hall won with three balls to spare, Paddy McCleary making 57 and Andy Watson 51. In the most exciting game of the season the Hall, having been dismissed for 72, went on to bowl out University College for 57 on a wicket which was by no means the worst batting pitch of the season.

52

Andy Watson and Steve Bartlett both represented the Authentics, Watson proving his worth with 66 against Headington. In college matches Watson made 497 runs (average 55), including a century against St. Anne's and four fifties.

McCleary and Bartlett were the only other batsmen to reach fifty. Fresher Andy Johnson turned in the season's best bowling performance, achieving 8 for 58 against Lincoln. Finally, both Chris Crane and Tim Willis took five wickets in an innings.

S.B.

THE ATHLETICS CLUB

Captains: SIMON BRIGGS, HELEN HOYLE MEN'S ATHLETICS at the Hall seems to take place over only two days of the year, namely the cuppers heat and final. Despite this handicap, the team still managed to perform well on both days. In Hilary Term we won the cuppers heat with a solid all-round performance, beating Balliol in the process. The final, a term later, held in the seemingly obligatory pouring rain, unfortunately did not produce last year's success, the Hall taking third place behind Brasenose and Oriel. There were good performances nevertheless from Tony Rossiter in the middle distance events, Simon Freethy and Jeremy Lai in the sprints and hurdles, and Simon Briggs in the field events.

In accordance with some sort of Oxford tradition, the women's athletics match was held early in Hilary Term, and in spite of the freezing conditions the Hall managed to raise considerable enthusiasm and suffered only one injury. Although the Hall's women finished seventh overall, everyone who competed enjoyed the match, with sprinters involved in high jumping, middle distance runners throwing the discus and hurdlers the javelin in order to secure points in the field events.

Congratulations are due to Sue Rose, Jenny Taylor, Sally Mortimore, Alison Cooke, Kate Botting, Sarah Thompson and Lorraine Wild.

H.H.

THE MEN'S CROSS COUNTRY CLUB

Captain: CuvE SENTANCE THE MEN'S Cross Country Club has had a varied season although there have been notable individual successes. We managed to field a team for cuppers and despite losing to the massed ranks of Brasenose, a creditable performance was achieved.

Special mention must go to Waiter 'Marathon-Man' Fraser, Martin 'Legs' Borrett, Andy 'Karate-Kid' Martin and Anthony 'Diego' Rossiter, who all suffered five miles of mud and exhaustion to uphold the good name of the Hall.

Special congratulations are due to Anthony Rossiter who was awarded a Blue for running in the Varsity match last December. His enthusiasm and dedication to the sport are an example to those of us who find it a strain walking to the Eastgate and back. Fortunately he will be with us for another three years as he is staying on to do a D.Phil in the odd moments between training sessions.

THE LADIES CROSS COUNTRY CLUB Captain: HELEN HOYLE

CONTRIBUTING TWELVE runners, a quarter of the field, we shamed many other colleges in cuppers which took place in Michaelmas Term. However, enthusiasm was not enough to overcome the strength of teams from Keble and Queen's who finished first and second respectively. The rather flat and uninteresting course along Iffley Road and on to the river bank at Donnington Bridge was uninspiring, and we eventually finished third.

This year the women's club organised the annual St. Edmund Hall Relays, which took place in Hilary Term. Well-attended by university teams from Bristol, Bath, Oxford Polytechnic and different Oxford and Cambridge colleges, this event was a real success. Thanks to all Hall members who helped, either marshalling or making tea.

H.H.

THE MEN'S TENNIS CLUB Captain: MIKE HILL

Secretary: MARK LITTLE

AFTER AN extremely successful season in which we won every one of our League games, we finished as champions of the Second Division. We could have done better in cuppers, losing in the second round, but with Finals always likely to take our best players, emphasis was on the League. Paolo Mauro and Mike Hill earned special praise for their tremendous performance in rescuing a match which seemed lost against Christ Church and which proved to be the crunch match of the season. Some of the inspiration undoubtedly came from the splendid Christ Church tea. Special thanks also to Stephanie Moran for greatly strengthening the 'men's' team. Jon Gulley set up a Second team which also had a very enjoyable season.

M.L.

THE LADIES TENNIS CLUB Captain: ALISON COOKE

UNFORTUNATELY THERE was no ladies League this season. However, the Hall first team survived an unlucky draw in cuppers to defeat several strong teams, including the favourites, St. Anne's. We reached the final following a convincing win against Wadham and found ourselves pitched against Lincoln. Sadly it was at this late stage that we suffered our first, albeit narrow, defeat of the season.

THE SQUASH CLUB Captain: MIKE HILL Secretary: ALAN W ATKINS

THIS SEASON saw a remarkable improvement in the dedication and enthusiasm of the two Hall teams, inducing a corresponding increase in standard of play. It was not unknown for players to turn up to two practise sessions a week on top of matches. Not surprisingly therefore both teams proved too powerful for their divisions in Michaelmas Term, both ending the term unbeaten, gaining promotion with a record number of points, and starting Hilary Term in Divisions One and Two respectively.

54

Using this as a base, both teams began their assault on the upper echelons of Oxford squash. The first team again proved unbeatable in the League, winning Division One comfortably, but unfortunately suffered its only defeat of the season in cuppers against Osier House. The second team remained in Division Two but advanced to their cuppers final before eventually succumbing . to Wolfson.

Thanks to several stalwarts who are leaving: Justin Smith for three years of spearheading the First's revival; Bruce Major and Steve Maw whose maverick style proved so effective, and Rob O'Keefe.

M.I.H. THE RUGBY LEAGUE CLUB

Captain: ANDY GOWANS SADLY THE opportunity for the Hall to assert its now customary dominance in the Rugby League cuppers competition was denied us this year when the competition was cancelled because of snow. Those who were due to play may take comfort from the fact that their college has lost the competition only once in its history, and the cup still remains safely on the captain's mantelpiece.

The Hall was well represented in the Varsity side this year, by old hands and converts alike. N. Pritchard (Captain}, C. Crane, J. Considine and A. Gowans all gained their Half Blues. Ex-Hall Rugby League men may be interested to learn that a certain J. Sharples appeared as a reserve for the Cambridge side.

A.J.G. THE BASKETBALL CLUB

Captain: DAVID DAVIES THIS SEASON will not go down as one of the most successful in the club's history, our exit from cuppers coming in the first round. In a double knock-out competition we narrowly lost to a better organized Oriel team 26-20 which meant that we had to play a very talented St. Catherine's team in the second match, and we were duly despatched from the competition.

The team was handicapped by having to be totally rebuilt from last year owing to the loss of key players. We also suffered from a decided shortage of American talent, although the two Americans we were graced with, Mike Ryan and Mark Ledden, were clearly our star players. Faced with this problem the Hall adopted its usual approach to any sport by fielding the largest team in the competition.

With the three 'tall men', Andy Rolfe, Simon Crawford and the Captain all over 6' 5" we were able to 'psych out' the opposition, at least until we took to the court, when they soon realised that enthusiasm rather than skill was our strength.

D.A.D. THE NETBALL CLUB

Captain: ALISON COOKE THE HALL NETBALL team had a highly successful season, winning the League in Michaelmas Term and coming second to Keble in Hilary Term. Unfortunately we

55

found ourselves bereft of several experienced players in cuppers and went out in the semi-final to the Keble team we had defeated only days previously.

A.J.C. THE SWIMMING CLUB

Captain: CATHERINE MACKAY

ALTHOUGH MOST of the swimming at the Hall takes place when punts have capsized, considerable talent lurks within the recesses of both the JCR and the MCR. Nic Sharrock achieved his first swimming Blue in this year's Varsity match, with a time of 65.6 secs for the lOOm Backstroke. John Allison scored two (out of 3) goals for Oxford in the Varsity waterpolo match to win a Half Blue. He has also been elected captain of the University team for next year.

In cuppers the women's team made up for lack of experience with enthusiasm and designer swimwear. The men's team comprised those unfortunate enough to be walking through the front quad five minutes before the event. However, the Hall's characteristic 'Gung ho' attitude pulled us through with raucous cries to achieve a very respectable result. The women finished third and the men sixth.

C.M. THE TABLE TENNIS CLUB

Captain: NICK NICANDROU Secretary: SIMON BRIGGS

AN INCREASED interest in table tennis relative to last year was accommodated by the three Hall teams which gave an opportunity for many people to represent the College. This enthusiasm was reflected in the teams all maintaining their positions in their respective divisions. The first team, generally consisting of Paolo Mauro, Harry Travers and Simon Briggs, performed well in many close matches. Notable second team performances came from Nick Nicandrou and Tony Rossiter, while consistent third team players were Demetri Psillos and Matthew Fitzgerald. Due to an administrative misunderstanding the Hall did not compete in cuppers this year, a competition of which we had high hopes.

N.N. CYCLING

College Representative: DAVID SAVAGE

WHILST OXFORD is a city of bicycles, cycling as a sport tends to attract relatively few, and cycletouring and racing are organized largely at the individual or university level. However there is an annual cuppers event at the end of Hilary Term comprising a 10-mile time trial on the Stanton Harcourt course. This year driving bizzards deterred 'all but the incurable, of whom David Savage came second overall. This summer Ed Ilgren will again be competing in the Stelvio Hill Climb and David Savage has entered the National 12-hour Championship based on Otley. On the touring side, Helen Hoyle amongst others is pedalling round France whilst Andy O'Connell and Neil Moorhouse are winding their wheels round Irish lanes. David Savage is touring Cornwall and North Wales, followed by a couple of weeks up and down the Swiss Alps.

THE CROQUET CLUB Captains: S!MON HODGSON, STEPH MORAN

THIS YEAR the Cuppers Competition was one of the biggest in the world (initial entry of 64 teams) and was sponsored by Laurent-Perrier Champagne. We received a flood of entries (perhaps largely prompted by the promise of free Champagne) and submitted five teams-only four of which were included. Of these four, three were knocked out in the first round, the second team having a frustrating loss by 47 points to 48 .

The first team, Peter Latimer, Tony Rossiter, Brian Hepworth and Tim Fell, undeterred , soared all the way to the third round and actually won a bottle of L. P. Champagne.

On the social front, although no Garden party was held, a barn dance is organised for Michaelmas Term, which promises to be a good time for both players and guests.

S.D.H. S.M. THE BADMINTON CLUB Captain: DOUG McCALLUM

A SUCCESSFUL STRUGGLE was put up by the Hall's 1986-87 League team, which consisted of Alex Scurlock, Mark Snelling, Gavin Flook, Andrew Harrison, Andy Jones and the Captain, with Steve Waygood and Nick Laird substituting to great effect.

Substantially weakened by the departure of last year's Finalists, the Hall side had a battle to fend off the spectre of relegation from Division One and pairs often rose to the occasion, sometimes pulling off quite remarkable results, though reliability of turn-out was as significant.

On the University front, Steve Bartlett gained a second Half Blue, and Alison Stark played in the Ladies' 2nd-team match.

D.S.McC. THE CHRISTIAN UNION Leaders: DOUG McCALLUM, CLIVE SENTANCE

ANOTHER EXCITING YEAR was enjoyed by those involved with the Christian Union, with at least three members of the Hall becoming Christians. A weekend away before Michaelmas Term gave us the opportunity to meet some first year Christians, and since then a varied programme of visiting speakers, Bible studies, prayer groups and social events has challenged and strengthened the faith of us all.

Amongst the highlights of the year were a well-attended informal dinner at Maxwell's restaurant during which there was a brief introduction to the claims of Christianity, a highly successful 'Pimms & Punts' evening, and a memorable stay with the Christian Community at Lee Abbey on the beautiful north Devon coast with over a hundred Christian students from Oxford. The involvement and enthusiasm of our first year members has been encouraging, and we are looking forward to next year when we'll be led by Andy O'Connell, Kathy Smith and Simon Hodgson.

It has been a year providing yet more evidence for the fact that Jesus Christ is alive and well and active in people's lives today.

THE CHOIR Organist: LUKE Goss THIS YEAR'S Chapel choir has been boosted by the influx of a number of strong and enth usiastic singers in the first year. With ¡their support we have been able to build up a good standard of singing which has allowed the performance of a number of difficult anthems, mainly from the Renaissance period. Byrd _a nd Tallis have figured highly amongst the popular composers, and their 'Ave verum corpus' and 'If ye love me' respectively made for memorable renditions.

Surprisingly, this year we have been strong on tenor and bass voices and less so in the upper register, various people having had to leave the choir for Finals or other reasons. The help of singers from other colleges has, as always, been invaluable, but it would be nice to think that there was enough vocal interest within the Hall to make the choir as much a college concern as possible.

I have examined the books and vouchers of the Association for the year ended 31 July 1987.

In my opinion the above Balance Sheet and annexed Income and Expenditure Account give respectively a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Association at 31 July 1987 and of the deficit of income over expenditure for the year ended on that date.
