ST EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE October 1988

VOL. XIII. No. 3 EDITOR: D. I. SCARGILL

FROM TIME TO TIME the Magazine receives a communication addressed to the Editor of the Aularian. Even the Fellows are not above mistaking the two publications. In fact the Aularian is an undergraduate paper, a kind of News of the World to our Observer but with a more subtle form of innuendo. It tends to appear at the very end of term, its editors no doubt sharing our own difficulty in extracting copy from busy aularians. One of the strengths of a college is the links it maintains with its Old Members. In St Edmund Hall we greatly value these links and would like to see them extended beyond the annual gatherings at the Reunion and the London Dinner. It is for this reason that we have inaugurated a Gaudy, the first event of its kind being reported in the present edition of the Magazine. Old Members are also reminded that our Isis Guest House offers accommodation during the summer months and anyone wishing to stay in Oxford in termtime could always telephone the Hall to see if a guest room were available, Remember, too, the ancient right of M.A.s to dine once a year at High Table. Being a poor college we have to charge for these privileges but the cost is low and the welcome generous.

FROM THE PRINCIPAL THIS YEAR sees

the retirement of two Fellows, and the departure of two. Dr. Todd, who was the first Engineering Fellow in any college, is taking early retirement. He built up the Engineering school to be one of the strongest in the College, and the College to be one of the strongest Engineering colleges in the University. He has also done time as Tutor for Admissions, Vice-Principal, and ProPrincipal. We shall miss his experience and commitment to the College. Rear Admiral Leslie is retiring after eighteen years as Domestic Bursar. He came to us with the new buildings with a brief to develop the conference trade, which is now an important part of our income. During his time, Bursarial responsibilities have been increased by the acquisition of Norham St. Edmund and the 1

Isis Hotel. He brought a refreshing naval flavour t6 Common Room life. We wish them both an enjoyable retirement. Dr. Harley, · one of our Geology Fellows is moving to Edinburgh under the arrangements for restructuring provision for Geology throughout the. universities. It will be interesting to see whether the Australian style of hockey fits into the Scottish context. Mr. Dickinson, a C.E.G.B. Junior Research Fellow in Engineering, is leaving to join a Swedish firm in Switzerland. We wish them as happy a time in their new jobs, knowing full well how unlikely that is. Another retirement has been that of Miss Mary Boak, for twenty-four years first Principal's Secretary and College Secretary, and then Principal's Secretary. At her farewell dinner she gave an enviably poised speech to round off the proceedings. We are still trying to find a gap in her meticulous filing system. Given her preparation for retirement, there is little need for good luck wishes. Rear Admiral Leslie is being succeeded as Domestic Bursar by Mr. Geoffrey Bourne-Taylor, who is retiring early from the Metropolitan Police. He has been Head of Training Support Unit at the Metropolitan Police College, Hendon. Miss Boak is being succeeded by Mrs Shirley Dawson, who previously .worked for Ruskin College. Dr. John Spurr and Dr. Peter Mitchell both won British Academy Research Fellowships, and Mr. Richard Gaskin won the Gaisford Dissertation Prize for Greek or Latin Language and Literature. In the Examination Schools we achieved 12 Firsts. In the sporting area we once more won Rugby Cuppers, thus breaking a record, and in addition we won Badminton, Ballroom Dancing and Windsurfing. The Music Society had a vigorous year, putting on a numbe.r of very successful concerts, and there was once again a successful Summer Ball. Dr. Brockhues has given the College a further generous donation of £400,000: £100,000 towards the establishment of the Brockhues Fellowship in Philosophy, and £300,000 for the provision of a new building for the accommodation of graduate students. The repair to the · roof of St. Peter-in-the-East could not be delayed any longer. Until early in the new year, the building will be obscured by scaffolding, and concentration disturbed by hammering. The Education Reform Bill is providing universities, and consequently colleges, with a stimulus to try to become relatively independent of central funding. This involves becoming less dependent on fee income and more able to support fellowships even when University funds do not allow the University to offer its 2

usual support. We are actively investigating the best ways of increasing our Endowment Capital to produce income for these purposes, and have been receiving encouraging help from old members. May I refer you to the comments under 'Endowment Fund' on page 15. A fuller picture of the College's varied year can be found in the following pages, which I hope you will enjoy. Keep in touch and come to visit us. THE PRINCIPAL AND FELLOWS of Old Members have asked if the Magazine could print a full list of names of all the Fellows and Lecturers of the Hall. The list below is from the University Calendar of 1987-88.

Zeman has been appointed Honorary Fellow during his sabbatical leave (1988- 89) at the Austrian Osteuropa Institut, Vienna. He lectured in April 1988 at the Institut Universitaire de Hautes Etudes Internationales in Geneva. He has given a memorial lecture at Leeds University and been appointed external examiner at Glasgow University. Dr. s. L. Harley has Âˇresigned his Fellowship with effect from 1 September 1988 in order to take up a post in Edinburgh made available through the UGC review of Earth Sciences. During his 2-term sabbatical leave in 1987-88 he spent 3 months (DecemberMarch) in Antarctica with the Australian National Antarctic Research Expedition, investigating the geology of an area near the largest glacier in the world, the Lambert Glacier. Dr. S. J. Ferguson was co-editor of the Society for General Microbiology Symposium volume entitled The Nitrogen and Sulphur Cycles, and he was also a speaker at the Symposium (held in January 1988). He participated in a Gordon Conference concerned with Protons in Biology held in California in January. He is Editor of Biochemical Journal and Biochem. Biophys. Acta, and is Member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of General Microbiology. Dr. M.

Newsom-Davis, Action Research Professor of Clinical Neurology, was admitted as a Professorial Fellow of the Hall in October 1987. Dr. J. Spurr was admitted in October 1987 as a Fellow of the Hall by Special Election following his appointment to a British Academy Research Fellowship. Professor E. R. Oxburgh (Honorary Fellow), President of Queens College, Cambridge, has become Chief Scientific Adviser to the Ministry of Defence. The Rev. E. G. Midgley (Emeritus Fellow) has continued his travels. After visiting Siam and re-visiting Burma in 1986, he travelled in India and Nepal last year, and this year sails up the Nile to view the monuments and antiquities. He retired from the Chaplaincy of St. Hugh's at the end of Trinity Term. Dr. R. B. Mitchell (Emeritus Fellow) was Official Opponent at the Public Discussion of the Doctoral Dissertation by Leena KahlasTarkka in Helsinki, Finland. He has lectured in the USA, at the 7

National Humanities Research Center, North Carolina, Harvard, and other universities. He was British Council Lecturer in Austria at Graz, Innsbruck, Salzburg and Vienna. Professor I. M. L. Donaldson (Emeritus Fellow) has been Professor of Neurophysiology at the University of Edinburgh since December 1987. Dr. P. J. Mitchell has been appointed a Research Lecturer of the Hall during the period of his British Academy Research Fellowship. The following have been appointed to Lecturerships: Mr. E. A. Southworth (Fellow of St. Peter's College, in Spanish), Dr. I. McHardy (in Physics), Mr. S. Coval (Temporary Lecturer in Law).

DR. J. D. TODD retired on 30 September 1988 and was elected to an Emeritus Fellowship with effect from 1 October. Joe Todd came up to the Hall to read Engineering Science in October 1942, having been interviewed by A. B. E. (no written examination in those days). He was Captain of Boats when St. Edmund Hall and Queen's had a combined boat. His studies were interrupted by war service with the Royal Engineers when he and other officers ran the Burma Refrigeration Unit with Burmese civilians. He returned to the Hall in 1947 when he was the only engineer in residence and after completing his degree he embarked on research for his D.Phil. on the subject of reinforced concrete, completing this successfully in 1953. His first teaching appointment was as Departmental Demonstrator in 1951 when he recalls that his salary of ÂŁ400 per annum was paid three months in arrears. He was appointed to a Lecturership at the Hall in 1955 and also to a University Lecturership. When he was elected to a Fellowship in Engineering Science at the Hall in 1959 he was the first Fellow in Engineering in the University. Since that time he has built up the subject to its present position as one of the largest and most successful in the College. His publications include the widelyconsulted text, Structural Theory and Analysis. During his time at the Hall, Joe Todd has served on every committee except (he thinks) the Wine Committee and the Garden Committee. He has been Camerarius, Tutor for Admissions, Senior Treasurer of Amalgamated Clubs, Senior Member of the Ball Committee and, in recent years, both Vice-Principal and ProPrincipal. We wish him, and his wife Peggy, every happiness in their retirement in Abingdon and the Lake District. DR. J. D. 10DD

PROFESSOR J. W. CHRISTIAN F.R.S. PROFESSOR J. W. CHRISTIAN retired from his Professorship of Physical Metallurgy in February 1988 and was elected to a Senior Research Fellowship of the Hall, remaining a member of the Governing Body. Jack Christian came up to Queen's in 1943 at the age of 17 to read Physics under war-time arrangements for scientists to take accelerated degrees before their war service. He recalls trying to join the Naval training programme, the University Navy unit being under the command of a certain Lieutenant Commander A. B. Emden, but was told that Oxford physicists were expected to do army training. His shift from Physics to Physical Metallurgy began in 1945 when he was persuaded by Hume-Rothery (later himself a Fellow of the Hall) to join his group of research scientists in the Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory. Working on high temperature alloys in the cramped conditions of the ICL, he completed his D.Phil. in 1949. Jack's research interests now changed towards structural defects and martensitic transformations and at the same time he was asked by H-R. to help set up the teaching of Metallurgy in Oxford. He was appointed Pressed Steel Research Fellow in 1951 and the first-Oxford Lecturer in Metallurgy in 1955, one of his tasks being to help design the new Metallurgy building in the Keble Road triangle. When H~R. was appointed as first occupant of the Wolfson chair (assigned to the Hall), Jack succeeded him as George Kelley Reader (1958), himself becoming a Fellow of the Hall in 1963. He has remained a Fellow to the present, being appointed to his own personal chair in 1968 and elected F.R.S. in 1975. Other awards include the Rosenhain Medal of the Institute of Metals (1969), the Mehl Gold Medal of the Met. Soc. of AIME (1981), the Platinum Medal of the (British) Institute of Metals (1984), and the Acta Metallurgica Gold Medal (1984). His many publications include the much acclaimed, The Theory of Transformations in Metals and Alloys. Our good wishes to Jack and his wife Maureen (a City Councillor) in their semi-retirement.

THE DOMESTIC BURSAR REAR ADMIRAL G. C. Leslie, C.B., O.B.E., retired as Domestic Bursar of St. Edmund Hall on 1 August 1988. He has been elected to an Emeritus Fellowship with effect from that date. Geordie Leslie kindly agreed to contribute the notes that follow about his naval career and his time at the Hall.

'I joined the Royal Navy from school as a cadet on 1st January 1938 aged 17 years and 3 months. Twenty months later at the outbreak of the Second World War, I was a Midshipman on a cruiser in the West Indies. After a further twenty months I found myself a very bewildered First Lieutenant and second in command of a fleet destroyer, still Wider the age of twenty-one (some measure of the dilution caused by the expansion of the Navy to meet the needs of war world wide); I continued in destroyers until the end of the war, serving in the N. Atlantic and Arctic. I had a comparatively quiet war apart from one or two hard-fought convoy actions at the height of the U-Boat Battle of the Atlantic and being torpedoed while I was in temporary command of HMS Cassandra, 190 miles north of Murmansk in December 1944. The ship survived but with a loss of 62 lives. Thirty per cent of those who joined with me in 1938 lost their lives in the five years of war. 'After the war I continued in a variety of training and ship command jobs which included two destroyer commands, a spell as the Executive Officer of a RN Air Station and the Royal Naval College at Dartmouth. This was followed by the command of the frigate HMS Surprise which was the Commander in Chief's despatch vessel (Yacht) in the Mediterranean where I was in direct contact with Admiral and Lady Mountbatten. 'On promotion to Post Captain I had two further commands, HMS Duncan as Captain of the Fishery Protection Squadron and HMS Devonshire the first of Britain's Guided Missile Destroyers. The latter was in Melbourne when I joined, and after eight months in the Far East, the ship was chosen to take the C. in C. Fleet on an official visit to Leningrad, Helsinki and Gydnia. 'After promotion to Flag Rank I had a short spell as President of the Admiralty Interview Board and then two years in the NA1D H.Q. in Brussels representing the Supreme Allied Commander Atlantic in Europe. (Saclantrepeur). This entailed liaison between my US Navy Boss based in Norfolk, Virginia and the North Atlantic Council and Military Committee. I was also liaison officer with the Supreme Allied Commander in Europe whose H.Q. was at Mons in Belgium. 'In March 1970, after 33 years in the Navy, I was fortunate to be selected to come to Teddy Hall six months before I retired. I took over the job of Domestic Bursar just before the start of Michaelmas Term 1970. 'Now in the summer of 1988, I am about to retire again from a second career which has lasted over half as long as my time in the Navy. To say that I have enjoyed my time at the Hall would be an understatement. Through a period of very rapid change I have found continual interest and satisfaction in helping forward the aims of the 10

Hall, but more significant perhaps has been the unfailing friendliness and help that I have enjoyed at all levels, especially from my colleagues in the SCR. The Junior Members have altered from the rude remnants of the revolution in 1970 to the embryo yuppies of the late '80's; there again I have had great co-operation and friendliness especially from a succession of MCR and JCR Presidents and Stewards. 'Finally the staff by their good work have made possible the great expansion of income from conferences, and the kitchen's reputation has remained very high throughout. 'Only one Long Vacation during my time has been clear of a major building project and it is my rough estimate that excluding the Kelly and Emden block which was complete by the time I arrived, some ÂŁ4 million at present day prices has been spent on new and refurbished accommodation and other improvements. This includes the two major acquisitions of St. Stephen's House, now Norham St. Edmund, during 1980 and the Isis Hotel during 1986/87. The process continues this summer when the roof of the Church Library is being renewed. 'I am most grateful that the Governing Body has honoured me by making me an Emeritus Fellow on my retirement.' THE NEW BURSAR Domestic Bursar is Geoffrey Bourne-Taylor who has spent the whole of his career to date in the police service. First appointed constable in 1959, he subequently spent some twenty years with the Metropolitan Police, becoming Head of Special Branch. He served in Northern Ireland and the Cayman Islands and holds the Queen's Medal for Exemplary Service. Since 1982 he has been at the Police College, Hendon, most recently as Head of Training Support Unit. His many interests include painting and music (he was Director of Music, police band) aqd he has written and illustrated books professionally. He and his wife Sarah, a professional musician, have four children, and we welcome them to Oxford.

THE NEW

HONORARY FELLOWSHIP has elected Mr. David Tindle, R.A., to an Honorary Fellowship. David Tindle is a distinguished painter who has held exhibitions at home and abroad since the early 1950's. He has work in the National Portrait Gallery and the Tate Gallery, as well as in the SCR, and his commissions include mural decorations

THE GOVERNING BODY

for the Open University at its headquarters in Milton Keynes. He holds several prizes and was a Professorial Fellow of St. Edmund Hall when he held the position of Ruskin Master of Drawing at Oxford, 1985-87. He and his wife Janet live in Leamington Spa where he has his studio. THE PRINCIPAL'S SECRETARY AT THE END OF Hilary Term 1988, Mary Boak retired from being

the Principal's Secretary. She had served the Hall since 1964, when she came to us in the capacity of College Secretary, for some years assisting both the Principal and the Senior Tutor, Rowley Gullick. In due course, the expansion of the College Office, and especially the appointment of a separate Tutor for Admissions, led to her being re-designated the Principal's Secretary, although to the great satisfaction of succeeding Secretaries of the Governing Body she always remained responsible for preparing the agenda of the Governing Body and for typing its minutes. During her twentyfour years, Mary Boak was secretary to three Principals-John Kelly, Ieuan Maddock, and Justin Gosling, and also to Joe Todd while he was Pro-Principal. Many will recall that Mary's father, Mr. Boak, after his retirement from the Civil Service for some nine years worked with Mr. Gray in the old Bursary. Father and daughter overlapped by several years. We are proud of, and deeply grateful for, this long record of devoted and efficient service. At a farewell dinner with the Principal and Fellows, Mary was presented with the manual typewriter that she had used for many years, spurning more up-to-date models; she also received a Shorter Oxford English Dictionary and a cheque. In the name of all Aularians, we wish her a long and very happy retirement. The new Principal's Secretary is Mrs. Shirley Dawson. H.E.J.C. HONOURS AND AWARDS THE MAGAZINE CONGRATULATES:

GIFTS TO THE COLLEGE the Magazine reported the intention of Dr. Frederick Brockhues of making a further gift to the Hall for building and other purposes. It is now possible to reveal that this magnificent benefaction amounted to £400,000, three-quarters of which will be used for erecting a new building to add to the College's stock of graduate accommodation. Plans have been drawn up and if these are approved by the planning authorities, it is hoped to put up the new building in a part of the garden of 17 Norham Gardens. The remainder of Dr. Brockhues' gift will be used to endow a Philosophy Fellowship to which his name will be attached. Dr. Sarah Ogilvie-Thomson, formerly College Lecturer in English Language and Literature, has endowed a prize worth £50 per annum. This will be awarded annually to members of the Hall reading the Honour School of English or a joint school which includes English. Its purpose is to encourage the study of English in the period before 1509 and it is intended that the prize will be awarded for a vacation essay in that field. Richards Butler (solicitors) have given £100 to the Library in recognition of I. R. Hawkes' (Richards Butler) Prize. Other gifts of money and books to the Library are recorded in the Librarian's report below. Mr. R. E. Alton has given the College an eighteenth-century brown leather winged chair which used to stand in his room. At their meeting before the Reunion, members of the Executive Committee of the St. Edmund Hall Association agreed to give £2,000 to the Hall. It will be used as follows: £1,200 for buying LAST YEAR

furniture for the well of the JCR; £300 for a bench for the sunken quad outside the JCR; £200 to help launch a music-concert fund (the intention being to free the Music Society from Amalgamated Clubs); £200 for a new flagpole; £100 to repaint and regild the coat of arms over the entrance to the Chapel. The College gratefully acknowledges the fact that since 1929 the Association has now given a total of £50,000 to St. Edmund Hall. Mr. H. F. Cook (matric. 1932) has given the Hall a tankard, in solid silver, in memory of his father. Mr. G. E. Janson-Smith (matric. 1926) has given three prints of St. Edmund Hall, including a pair of Signed Woodhouse presented to him by the Junior Common Room at the time he was JCR President and had organized a dinner to celebrate the election of A. B. Emden to the Principalship of the Hall. Mr. David Tindle, until recently Ruskin Master of Drawing and a Professorial Fellow of the Hall, has presented one of his paintings which now hangs in the SCR. Art Mohair has kindly donated a coat of arms. THE BOAT CLUB APPEAL to build up a capital fund to help the Club face some of the expensive emergencies which arise from time to time, was launched in June of this year. The appealing letter was dispatched to all former rowing men from 1941 to the eighties, and the response from loyal oarsmen from every year and from all over the world has been splendid and often very generous indeed. The many accompanying letters, full of nostalgia for those afternoons on the river and memories of victorious bumps have been good to read. At the time of going to press, the fund stands at just over £3000, and there are still about half the rowing men whom we wrote to who have yet to respond. If those of you who read this note are among them, please send your cheque, made out to 'The St. Edmund Hall Boat Club' to the Rev. Graham Midgley at St. Edmund Hall. E.G.M. THE BOAT CLUB APPEAL,

DR. KELLY'S BOOKS THE MAGAZINE learns that Dr. J. N. D. Kelly delivered the completed typescript of his short history of the Hall to the Oxford University Press in July this year. The delays of the Publishing world are notorious, but the possibility that the book will appear about the same time as next year's MAGAZINE should not

be dismissed. In the meantime a Polish translation of his Early Christian Doctrines reached this country in late June; this follows hard on a Chinese translation, which appeared last year. HALL and fascinating collection of essays is by members of St Edmund Hall who matriculated between 1920 and 1980. It is edited by Alan Jenkins (1932) and Dr. John Kelly has written a foreword. Copies can be reserved at the pre-publication price of ÂŁ5.95 by sending a cheque and your address toP. G. Slip, 44 Heathermount Drive, Crowthorne, Berkshire.

THIS AFFECTIONATE

THE OLD BREW'S LOGIC LECTURES of 'Hall' may whet appetites for other indulgent reminiscences before memories fade. In the 'twenties and 'thirties, lectures on Logic were given in the Old Hall by the Old Brew (Brewis senior, Senior Tutor) for Pass Mods, which had to be taken in the second term. His lectures, attended by many Home Students and men from other colleges, made formal logic vivid through light-hearted illustrations and perfect stagecraft, and got everyone through without the use of books. Everyone wrote them down, and some Old Members' notes may yet survive. If so, it should be worth the effort to reconstruct a picture of this endearing feature of the freshman's year. The Editor will be grateful if you will all search your attics and let him have any such notes (returnable), and especially any entertaining recollections of the lectures you can recall. Claude Hayes

THE PUBLICATION

ENDOWMENT FUND I SAID in my introductory comments that the College was taking steps to increase its Endowment Capital. Old Members are often understandably puzzled as to why this is important: what do we want all that money for? The following is an attempt at a brief sketch of the position. The College's annual turnover is somewhat over ÂŁ1.7m. Our sources of income divide as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Fees: Board and Lodging: Conferences: Endowment Income:

At c. c. c. c.

900,000 300,000 290,000 210,000

just over 500Jo

It can be seen that Endowment Income is necessary for our continued existencr.

But why is more needed? Fees are not under our control. At present they are controlled by the D.E.S; in a few years they are likely to come under the new University Funding Council. As it is, they do not usually keep up with university costs. The outlook is not promising. So the major source of income is set to shrink in real terms. Board and Lodging charges should cover those costs. In practice, over the past 10 years student grants have declined in real terms, and a college has to consider its students as well as its finances, within reason. Over those years we have partially protected students from the effects of the erosion of their grants, and cannot hope substantially to increase income by raising charges. Conference income is always uncertain, and subject to fluctuation from unpredictable events. At the same time, although we budget for repair and maintenance, with old buildings there is always the risk of expense which would go beyond what we could afford from income. We are constantly uncomfortably close to the margin. That gives a picture of our sources of income and the constraints on them. I hope it also brings out the importance of Endowment Income. While it can be seen that at present we are managing, the following facts have to be noted: 1. Already we are managing in part because of a reduction of provision. For

instance, two years ago we had three English Fellows and a Lecturer, now we have one Fellow and a Lecturer. Then we had two History Fellows, now we have one Fellow and one Lecturer. This gradual deterioration will have to continue unless we can increase income to stop it. 2. Hitherto teaching posts have been partly funded by the University. In future the College's share of funding for Arts Fellows is to be increased, and in many cases posts will either not be replaced, or will be frozen for up to five years. The College, therefore, will have the choice of either accepting the situation, or meeting the whole cost itself. At present there is keen competition between colleges for students, and provision of in-house tuition is one important factor. The richer colleges can and do keep up their provision. The full funding of a Fellowship requires a capital of c. 500,000. 3. Another factor in competition for students is facilities. This is partly physical facilities, such as a reasonable standard of J.C.R., computer support, sporting facilities; and partly the provision of aids to encourage students to pursue academic-related activities which they could not readily afford on their grants, such as visits to conferences, laboratories, museums, etc. In addition, our reliance on conference income reduces our ability to offer students often much-needed vacation residence. In all these respects we fall well behind most other colleges. 4. Paragraphs 2 and 3 are important to us because over the past twenty years we have managed to build up the academic standing of the College, without damaging other, e.g. sporting, traditions. We are loath to see that work wasted. To avoid that we need to remain attractive in relation to other colleges.

5. The improvement has been achieved because we have been able to attract a number of excellent tutors, some of whom most of you will know. Here too we need to stand comparison with other colleges not only in direct provision of tuition and research support, but also in support of Research Fellowships, which contribute a great deal to the academic atmosphere of a college.

All this has to be viewed in a context in which Central Government is clearly set on encouraging universities, and so, in the case of Oxford colleges, to become financially more independent, and in which St Edmund Hall starts in the position of the poorest college in the University. A committee set up to investigate the need to transfer capital from richer to poorer colleges reckoned theÂˇ minimum capital needed for safety for any college is 7m. They have recommended a transfer to us of just over 2m; we have an endowment capital of just over lm; we must therefore aim to make up at least the difference. The University is currently launching an appeal for Oxford as a whole, including the colleges. Indeed, support for colleges will obviously help strengthen the teaching provision of the university. The appeal therefore makes provision for contributions to it being directed to a person's old college. We hope that old members will bear that in mind. J. C. B. Gosling

FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE M.C.R. THE NEWS from the M.C.R. is as usual a mixture of sporting success and 'social enjoyment throughout 1987-88. Of course first place must be given to Mrs Brown, our patron saint, who continued to supply all members with her daily smile and welcome, as well as the coffee. The Common Room's major addition lies in the blade brought back from Eights Week, a true symbol of M.C.R. triumph and prosperity and, perhaps, of the influence of an all-English regime. The cricket team is, at the time of writing, listed to play the M.C.R. Cuppers semi-final match, with the same degree of success hoped for. Sport has not completely overshadowed other events. Th~ annual cheese and wine and superbowl parties, pub crawls and end-of-term dinner were attended and enjoyed by many. As a parting gift, Mr. Stan Hum organized an educational event of a typical variety, an opportunity to experience and learn about the pleasures of the grape. It was even sought to introduce culture via a very successful jazz and cocktails evening. --

The annual Garden Party saw the traditional surrender and acceptance of the reins of power, with colonial rule restored- Susan Anderson as President and Vivek Katariya as Steward- against the usual onslaught from the English weather. Paul Billyard

FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE J.C.R. WHILST BROWSING through reports written by Presidents of year~ gone by, I realised that there are some very perceptible chang:::... happening within the J.C.R. at the moment. One reason for me writing this is the change in the flavour of J.C.R. meetings. There has, over the last couple of terms, been a dramatic rise in the number of social and political issues being discussed. This initially caused a large rise in attendance, with over a hundred people turning out for a meeting in Hilary Term. Unfortunately, since then, numbers have dwindled as motions have often remained political without being controversial, and therby not affording the opportunity of interesting debate. There have also been far fewer positive ideas and motions that relate directly to Hall. Whether this fall-off is an adverse reaction against politicisation or whether Moderations and Finals have been playing a major part, we will see in Michaelmas Term. On a more optimistic note, leaps and bounds have been made on the cultural side of Teddy Hall life in the form of the Music Society. It has been far more energetic this year and has distinguished itself by holding concerts and recitals in the Wolfson and Old Dining Halls. These have been of an excellent standard and as a result were always very well attended. It would therefore be of great benefit to College if some serious thought could also be given to finding an on-site venue in order to host some of the plays that so many Teddy Hall men and women are increasingly involved with. Until such a provision is made, what could be a very pleasant side of Hall life will remain unexplored, which does not actually do justice to the acting talent within the J.C.R. One of the most welcome changes has been in the Buttery due to the advent of a new barman. In the twelve months he has been running it, Reg and his wife Margaret have made a massive impact on college social life. I know everyone who uses the Buttery will agree that it is hard to imagine a more likeable, friendly couple doing a job with so much good humour and capability. Thanks to the generosity of the S.E.H. Association the bar can now be made 18

effectively twice as large by furnishing the Well to the same standard as the Buttery. This will hopefully solve some of the problems of crampedness as well as employing one of the more historical rooms in Hall more sensibly than at present. Some things in Hall never seem to change though. On the sporting front 'Aula' continued to 'floreat' quite happily as usual. The Rugby team broke the record, previously held by Teddy Hall, for consecutive Cuppers wins by winning the competition for the ninth year in a row. The men's First Eight progressed one place in Summer Eights to now lie Fifth on the river, whilst in Torpids they went up three places. There were also Cuppers wins in Badminton, Windsurfing and Ballroom Dancing, which appears to be another yearly ritual now. Meanwhile our ladies have also done us proud. In view of the fact that only a quarter of our J.C.R. are women, we have fared very well against some of the women's colleges who have far greater numbers to draw upon. We started the year by winning the one-day ladies' intercollegiate Hockey tournament and in Hockey Cuppers only lost to the eventual winners, in the semi-final, on penalties after extra time had failed to separate the two teams. We were also finalists in Football and Netball. The needs of our ladies First Eight have finally been recognised as well, with the purchase of an excellent lightweight boat and blades. With a crew drawn mainly from the First and Second Years we are hoping to do well in the future. I do have my fears about the future in some sports though, especially the men's. In my time here we have become increa~ingly reliant upon our present Third Year who will not be here in Michaelmas. Next year will certainly be a testing time, without the luxury of the number of Blues we have in our midst at present. So I would like to take the opportunity to wish all the Finalists who are leaving this sum~er the best of luck for the future and a sad farewell. The year contained some great characters and contributors to all aspects of life here- to the running of the J.C.R., to sport and, most importantly, to the atmosphere that has made the Hall a pleasure for me to be a part of. Patrick I. H. Jennings J.C.R. OFFICERS P. 1. H. JENNINGS succeeded

A. J. Rolfe as President of the Junior Common Room when his term of office finished at the end of December 1987. Hester BarringtonWard was elected to succeed N. E. Sharrock as Steward and will serve until Hilary Term 1989. Ms L. C. Booth has handed over as Social Secretary to C. M. Coltart.

THE MIDSUMMER BALL a theme, as such, was not projected in the title and publicity of the Ball. Nevertheless, the Dickensian theme was well represented on the night with, amongst other things, market barrows overflowing with fruit and flowers and a maypole providing a centrepiece for the Front Quad. Excellent lighting combined with the beautiful decor to transform the College into a perfect setting for a full midsummer ball. . An innovation this year was the use of the area behind the Library as a minifairground with a coconut shy, strong man machine, pistol range, candy floss and fortune-teller. This was well received by the guests, as was the casino and free cocktail bar, also in the graveyard. In all, there were twelve venues providing allnight entertainment, ranging from comedy revues to ballroom dancing, juggling to fire-breathing. Major entertainments were not neglected. Ruby Thrner put on an excellent show on the main stage in the Wolfson Hall and The Vibrators were also enjoyed. The magnificent Lowlights Club Disco, Britain's largest mobile disco, kept everyone dancing between the major bands and also well into Sunday morning. Another 'first' this year was formal dining, made possible by the sale of nondining tickets, which reduced the number of diners. This made the four-course dinner a less rushed and more enjoyable experience. After a French breakfast, guests were able to enjoy punting on the Cherwell. Once again, the inherent expertise built up over the years meant that the Ball was a well-executed and immensely enjoyable event. I feel sure that the Ball provides a marvellous opportunity for College members to gain a unique experience of many forms of management. Sadly, this was the last annual Hall Ball as, from this year, they will be biennial affairs. Hopefully they will continue to be as enjoyable and successful as this year's. Thanks to our Senior Member, Dr. Todd, and best wishes for his retirement, and thanks also to the College Staff, the Ball Committee and everyone else " involved. Martin Borrett THIS YEAR

DEVELOPMENTS TO THE GARDEN FOR SOME YEARS the garden has marked time, priority being given to more important developments. In 1987, however, the College appointed a part-time gardener and a Garden Fellow, since when minor changes have been made, and major ones envisaged. With the kind help of the S.E.H. Association, the College has purchased a selection of plants for the Front Quad- most notably, the lilies which have made such a splendid display this summer. The shrubbery on the shady side of the Quad is gradually being turned into a more interesting herbaceous border, whilst the sunnier areas have been stocked with hollyhocks, rosemary and lavender. The aim is to create a cottage-like effect, in keeping with the informal architecture of the college: tobacco plants and petunias are added for colour throughout August. We have plans for a slightly more formal display of tulips in the window boxes during the spring. To bring into use an under-used area, we have made a herbaceous border against the south-facing wall on the North side of St Peter's in the East. At present, this is 5 ft deep, and runs only a third of the length of the wall, but there are plans to extend it further. The churchyard offers an ideal setting for old garden roses, a large number of which have been planted, and have indeed flowered this

year. In a decade's time, the walls will be covered with fragrant ramblers: Etoile d'Hollande, Souvenir de la Malmaison, Souvenir de Claudius Denoyel, to name only three. Shrub-roses, too, will be growing in profusion: of particular note will be the Shakespearian trio (Rosa Gallica, Rosa Alba, Rosa Mundi) planted in a line parallel with the yew trees, and marking the old pathway from Queen's lane to the Church. The central mound in the churchyard scarcely competes with New College's for grandeur, but will look very attractive when thickly covered with anemones, fritillaries, snowdrops, scillas and cyclamen. A start was made this year, thanks to Mrs Riding (our new part-time gardener) with the planting of spring bulbs, and our plan is to introduce more and more early colour into the churchyard in this way. An ornamental cherry tree, kindly donated to us by the Librarian, 'as a token of her affection and attachment to the Hall', and shortly to be planted northeast of the church, will make a welcome addition. Future smallscale plans include the replanting of the herbaceous border facing the J.C.R., and the creating of a better all-year-round effect on the top quad, between Kelly and Emden buildings. But there are bigger, (and less affordable) plans afoot, too ... The Front Quad, however pretty in its present state, is badly in need of proper maintenance: the paving-stones, made of different kinds (and stages) of pre-fabricated concrete, are mostly broken, giving the quad a somewhat dilapidated air. The College would like to be able to afford to repave the entire quad in York stone, making a very minor adjustment to the lawn, so as to prevent it being trampled along its edges. To do so, however, would cost in the region of ÂŁ15 ,000. Would any Aularian care to help us to make this very great improvement-and to have such an act of generosity suitably commemorated? Lucy Newlyn, Garden Fellow ST EDMUND HALL IN THE 1840s THE LETTER that follows is preserved amongst the papers in the College Archives of the Rev. Sidney Leslie Ollard, Vice-Principal from 1903 to 1913. It was written early in 1909 by an undergraduate of the Hall, Ernest C. Mortimer (matric. 1907). He began his letter on a personal note, by revealing himself as the eternal undergraduate in his use of time during vacation and term, and by setting out some interesting if arithmetically fallible details of his finances. His main purpose in writing was, however, to place on record the reminiscences of his grandfather, the Rev. Mamerto Gueritz (matric.-pace Mr. Mortimer, below-1845). Mr. Gueritz was Spanish by birth but left his native land while a baby during the political upheavals of 1823. He was at the Hall during the Principalship of William Thompson (1843-54) and the Vice-Principalship of the Evangelical John Hill (1812- 51), whose diaries remain in the Hall's possession. Mr. Gueritz provides a lively picture of life at the Hall in the mid-1840s, and especially of the religious ferment as it began to move from its long association with Evangelicalism towards the Tractarianism which was especially marked during the Vice-Principalship of Henry Parry Liddon (1859-62). I am most grateful to Mrs. Mary Scargill for her kindness in transcribing and typing this letter. H.E.J.C.

Richmond House Colyton. Devon Jan 9th 1909 Dear Vice-Principal, This will be a very incoherent letter as I am writing in a room with my mother, a friend, two sisters & three brothers all talking on different topics, except one brother who is shouting a comic song, & one sister who is accompanying him. To begin with, I am extremely sorry not to have written before but I have been trying to get items out of my Grandfather & also things have been going with such a rush lately that I must confess to having forgotten my letter-writing duties. We have had four dances within the last five days & two or three to come yet, among other things. I am looking forward to the term as a rest-cure for the vac. Thank you so much for writing about the Librarianship; if I could count on it my money affairs would be as follows: £ 20 -!M132 25 15 82 20 284

in Bank to come from Boyd Librarianship to come from Cholmondeley Trust Private Sources Sons of Clergy Corporation [sic)

This has to last for the next eight terms, working out to £106.10 per year which is not princely but on which I might do possibly if I cannot get any elsewhere. The figures are not quite exact but quite approximate. I might get an extension of another £20 from the Corporation of the Sons of the Clergy & will write about it immediately. By the way there is £25 for the 4th year's librarianship which wd. make it £116 so it seems all right. Pardon the confusedness of this but the whole room has burst into a wild chorus from some oratorio in which the piano's plucky attempts to overcome the vocal section of the music fail hopelessly. To turn to my Grandfather- he suffers from gout in his hand & asks me to say that he would be delighted to write i( he could but cannot at present. His reminiscences are very sketchy & mostly quite personal but some of them may interest you; I have gathered them from him within the last few days but there are obviously many little incidents & details which he just cannot recal [sic] sufficiently to put in intelligible form. Here goes-please skip judiciously where you get bored as may be the case where the interest is purely personal. I have put down a lot that is unnecessary in order to get a little continuity. Up to the age of one my Grandfather had an adventurous career as he was born and baptized on the same day Jan 31st 1823 in Jativa 1 the city of the Borgias & then his father and mother had to flee the country to England as my greatgrandfather's life was in danger under the new regime in Spain. King Alfonso was very much interested in my Grandfather when he came over after Princess Ena. He went to school in Plymouth up to the age of 13 & then became apprentice to a wine-merchant for seven years. At 20 he desired to go to Oxford with a view to Holy Orders & heard from Dr. Seaman of Colchester that there was a Society in Bristol formed to assist such as he. He, being absolutely poor at that time,

applied to them & they paid all his expenses at S. Edmund Hall, whither he went in 1845 (Matriculating the year before.) He worked very hard for honours, so hard that he did not join in 'Varsity life to any great extent, & broke down in health, necessitating his taking a Pass degree in 1848. (An interesting personal touch, that has nothing to do with the Hall, is that his first curacy was under the Rev. James Stratton Coles, a splendid worker & father of our mutual friend.) To come to the Hall in his time. The ordinary services were of course Mattins & Evensong with rare Eucharists. The Chapel altar was quite bare & all the services very plain indeed as the Vice-Principal, Mr Hill, was a rigid Calvinist. On one occasion after a 2% hours' sermon on the 17th Article 2 (Mr Hill's usual length!) he asked, according to custom, for biblical texts to illustrate his gloomy doctrine. Immediately one man blurted out 'Who will have all men to be saved, & come to the knowledge of the truth'! (This enterprising youth was the Rev. F. G. Lee, 3 author of a well-known book on Ritual which no doubt you know.) Poor Mr Hill struggled out of it somehow by saying that S. Paul was referring to different classes of people that should come to knowledge. The incident horrified everyone including my grandfather, as the Vice-Principal was a very lovable man & it was regarded as an unprecedented piece of rudcrness on the part of Mr Lee! The undergraduates seem to have been a quiet & orderly set, for the most part brought up to very low ideas of the Church & very scanty knowledge of the Catholic Faith. Most of them would have called themselves Evangelicals, & were very little advanced in religious knowledge, with the exceptions of Mr Lee & Mr Norman & some others. He can well remember T. W. Morsman & Charles Voysey & a brother Of the latter; the two Voyseys seem to have been a rather under-read & ignorant pair & not generally liked. Charles V. seems to have become a deist or something since, while Bousfield he can remember has become an Angel in the new Apostolic Church. 4 About 1847 a change came over the spirit of the Hall which from his words one would judge my Grandfather to have started. In the library one day he discovered Bp. Sumner's 'Apostolical Preaching' which he read with very great interest as this was the first occasion on which the idea had occurred to him that S. Paul addressed all t,he baptized as regenerate. He passed the book on to his friends, including Morsman, Bousfield & Page & others to whom the occasion was absolutely the beginning of Catholic learning. The man who seems to have had the best influence for good was called Haik, a B.A. & Hebrew Scholar & more of a Churchman than the majority. My Grandfather was well snubbed for joking on a Biblical sentence on one occasion by Haik, who expressed a hope that he would always remember the incident. There was a good deal of religious life among the undergraduates in the way of reading & prayer. The Principal was a Dr Thomson [sic), a: Fellow of Queen's, who used to preach on Sunday mornings (he once preached a very Catholic sermon on 'Thou art Peter') & generally came into the Hall once a week to hear essays read out. The only one my Grandfather can remember writing was on 'Patriotism'. On weekdays, the Vice-Principal always read Mattins & Evensong but took duty elsewhere on Sundays. The men seem to have been very fond o.f sermons, & always went to the 'Varsity Sermon at S. Mary's. After that they often went to hear Gouldburn (of 'Personal Religion' fame). preach at Holywell, & my Grandfather particularly remembers a sermon delivered there by Bp. Wilberforce. Also he had the keen pleasure of hearing Dr Pusey, in his first sermon after his suspension, resume his teaching just where he had left off. He used to have the same rooms as I inhabit now, & especially remembers the cupboard in the corner, from the window of which he poured water once down

the necks of people who had been disturbing his studies by their carousals in the rooms beneath. One of the undergraduates in his time used to be elected Bible Clerk, & his duties were to read the first lesson (the second being read in rotation) & to say grace in Hall. The graces were rather terrifying: 'Benedic nobis Domine Deus et his donis quae ex tua liberalitate sumpturi sumus per Jesum Christum Dominum nostrum' & 'Agimus tibi gratias Domine Deus et Pater pro tot beneficiis quae ex tua benignitate largiter nobis (I forget the verb) per Jesum Xtum Dominum Nostrum.' He was sconced once for getting tied up over 'liberalitatis.' He was Bible Clerk for one term in place of one Robins who vanished from the Hall one day & was heard no more of. At the end of the term he received an unexpected . but none the less welcome cheque for ÂŁ10. There was no advanced asceticism in the Hall in his days. Fish was only given in Hall on Good Fridays, & then in addition to the ordinary dinner! The men had to attend Hall daily. What is now the Common Room seems then to have been used as a Lecture Room. It was here during a lecture that my Grandfather suddenly fainted & was good for no work for a long time afterwards. Not, that is, until he was well out of his Oxford career. There were two Scouts in his time, of which his was young and jolly & went by the name of Dick. The other was more staid. The marking for Chapel was undertaken by the Bible Clerk. The man called Haik was very musical & got together several men to sing glees & such. Some got friends in from other colleges, & my Grandfather recollects Goss coming to one of the meetings with Sir Frederick Ouseley. He sang in the chorus of an oratorio given at Christchurch in aid of the victims of the Irish Potato Famine & remembers Dr Elvey, the conductor, stepping back for an impressive sweep & falling off the platform with nothing left to be seen but his wooden leg straight up & waving in distress. The principal recreation ,at the Hall was walking, as there were no formal sports clubs at this period. My Grandfather went to call on a Magdalen man one day to take him out for a walk, & while waiting in the quad he was accosted by an imposing-looking Don who asked him what he was waiting for. This Don turned out to be the Proctor whom my Grandfather had never before met officially. Caps & gowns, it seems, had to be worn during the daytime then. My Grandfather managed to get up a four on the river but it never rowed in any race. He remembers it still with great enjoyment. He remembers hearing a hot sermon against Mariolatry from Dr Jeune. One Easter vac. he had stayed up to work, & went to S. Peter's to Mattins, where he was immensely impressed by hearing the prayers intoned for the first time. He thought it a very beautiful innovation. The then Vicar was a Fellow of Merton & became a Bp. soon after. He was always very kind to my Grandfather. The only person he knows to be alive now who used to be a friend of his at the Hall is the Rev. J. C. K. Saunders M.A. of 7 Salisbury Rd. S. Jude's Plymouth. They used to be friends at Plymouth in their 'teens & spent much of their life together. He remembers him as a quiet, steady young fellow. Probably you could get some interesting details from him if you write. I have set down all I can remember at present & it seems vilely written & put together, but you may be able to dig out of it a few bits of interest. The recollections of a man of eightysix are not likely to be very vivid & I am rather surprised at his getting out such a lot. He is quite pleased at your having the portrait of Mr Hill as he knows it will be valued as a relic of that time. I will try & get some more details about the Chapel.

Finally, would it be possible for me to go up on the Thursday (14th)? I have a friend going up on that day & there are a lot of things I want to arrange before term begins. I should be glad to have permission if possible. Yours very truly Ernest C. Mortimer. P.S. My Grandfather's name is the Rev. M. Gueritz B.A.

14 July 1990, Saturday 28 July 1990. Members of the Hall wishing to make arrangements for taking their degrees should write in advance to The Dean of Degrees' Secretary, The College Office, St. Edmund Hall, Oxford OX1 4AR. The Hall has a strict quota of places for those wishing to receive degrees in person and early enquiry is therefore advised. Tickets are also required these days by visitors attending the ceremonies in Trinity Term, Long Vacation, and October and these are issued through the College. Degrees can be taken in absentia at any ceremony. THE GAUDY in the history of St. Edmund Hall took place over the weekend of 26-27 September 1987. Over ninety guests attended, all of them Old Members who had matriculated in the years between 1921 and 1943 . After Chapel, and sherry in the JCR Party Room, the company sat down to a meal that included the chef's speciality, roast baron of beef, carved in the Wolfson Hall. There was just one after-dinner speech, that of the Principal, who welcomed everyone and began by defining a Gaudy. The emphasis in this case was on celebration, on celebrating the transition of St Edmund Hall from the only survivor of 170 medieval halls to one of the larger colleges of the University. In describing this transition, the Principal paid tribute to the foresight and wisdom of his predecessors, Dr. Emden and Dr. Kelly, who had seen the need for change and had so guided it that the Hall had retained its character and its traditional sense of friendliness . Growth had taken place in numbers and in buildings, in academic success and in sporting achievement, but through all this great transformation St. Edmund Hall had never ceased to be interesting. The Principal concluded by thanking everyone present for their support for the Appeal, now successfully concluded, A new phase lay ahead, with new challenges. As always the Hall would be able to rely on the wholehearted support of its Old Members. There were present: the Principal, the President of the St. Edmund Hall Association (Mr. R. A. Farrand), 24 Fellows (including Honorary and Emeritus Fellows), the Chaplain, the Librarian, and the following Old Members: G. W. H. Adcock 1942, D. B. Akehurst 1941, J. B. Anderson 1942, Rev. T. E.

THE REUNION welcomed to the Reunion on Saturday 25 June, old members who had matriculated before 1947 and between 1972 and 1983. In his speech he referred first to the loss of Cyril Anslow and also, though happily only to retirement, of Mary Boak. Her leaving had been marked by one of the most beautiful and memorable speeches ever heard in the Senior Common Room. Of the Fellows, John Cowdrey and Jack Christian were taking 'a sort of retirement' but remained members of the Governing Body, the former also retaining his tutorial role. The break would be somewhat more complete, however, in the case of Joe Todd and of the Bursar, Geordie Leslie. Joe had been the first Engineering Fellow in the history of the University and over the years he had built up Engineering to its present position as one of the strongest subjects in the College. He had done this whilst undertaking many college offices, most recently those of Vice-Principal and Pro-Principal. Geordie Leslie had come to the Hall about the time the Wolfson Hall was completed and amongst other things he had achieved considerable success in building up the conference trade of the College, now one of our main financial supports. The Governing Body would miss his genial naval humour. Academically the Hall had delighted in the success of two of its graduate students, Dr. John Spurr (History) and Dr. Peter Mitchell (Prehistoric Archaeology) who had gained British Academy Research Fellowships. Great pleasure had also been taken in the university prizes awarded to Wayne Luk and to Richard Gaskin. On the sportsfield the Rugby Club had won the intercollegiate cup for the fifteenth time in the last 16 years but experts were forecasting an end to this unique run of victories. Other successes had been achieved in Badminton, Ballroom Dancing and Windsurfing, whilst the Men's First VIII had advanced by one place in the First Division to Fifth on the River. The Music Society had had a particularly active year, arranging a succession of good concerts. The Principal concluded his speech by referring to continuing financial anxieties and to the prospect of appointing a professional fund raiser. In other respects all was well and only three days earlier the Hall had hosted, for the first time in its history, Lord Crewe's Benefaction, when the Chancellor and distinguished honorands had come to the College for refreshments before Encaenia. Replying on behalf of the St. Edmund Hall Association, the President, Roger Farrand, thanked the Principal and Fellows for the Reunion. He paid tribute to all those who had helped in the preparation of the newly-published Directory and urged old members to continue sending in corrections to addresses and to look out for suitable advertising. The publication, Hall, would soon be available and orders were now being taken. He concluded by drawing attention to other ways in which old members could help the College, observing that the Association had given over the years some ÂŁ50,000 to the Hall. That same afternoon the Executive Committee had made gifts totalling ÂŁ2,000.

ST. EDMUND HALL ASSOCIATION MINUTES OF THE 57TH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATION -12 JANUARY 1988 THE 57TH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATION was held in the Smoking Room of Simpson's-in-the-Strand, 100 Strand, London WC2R OEW on Thesday, 12 January 1988 at 6.18 p.m., R. A. Farrand presiding. 23 members were present.

Apologies were received from (inter a/ios):-C;mon Dr. J. N. D. Kelly: F. H. H. Finch (Hon. Dinner Secretary- on duty): J. P. de Courcy Meade, D. J. Derx, J. G. French, M. G. M. Groves, A. R. J. Lloyd, R. M. Ridley, Dr. D. I. Scargill, and J. R. Smith 1. MINUTES The Minutes of the 56th Meeting, held on 13 January 1987, having been published in the 1986-87 Magazine and copies being available, were taken as read, confirmed and signed by the President. There were no Matters Arising. 2. PRESIDENT'S REPORT In a racy resume of the Association's activities during his first year of office R. A. Farrand highlighted the following:The publication during the coming year of 'Hall', a book about St. Edmund Hall written by its members, edited by Alan Jenkins with Peter Slip as General Manager; and of the new Directory, the first since 1981. The decision of the Executive Committee to re-enter the field of Careers advice, helping undergraduates in a detached way, guided by a professional 'head-hunter', Alan Simmonds (mat. 1952) along with Peter Slip (1956). The recommendations of a Working Party on 'Commercial' Activities by the Association, the members being J. P. de Courcy Meade, M. G. M. Groves, W. N.

Hillier-Fry and himself, with The Rev. H. E. J. Cowdrey eo-opted from the Hall, which concluded that however brilliantly organised such activities could never match the services of a professional fund-raiser in fostering the Hall's Endowment Appeal, but that the Association was uniquely well-placed to help in his selection, especially if fuller information on the professional achievements of Old Members were forthcoming from an appeal for such 'intelligence' in the Directory. 3. HON . SECRETARY'S REPORT It gave H. A. F. Radley much historical and sentimental satisfaction to have

read Press reports on the appearance in the University Association Football team of one G. Harper (Abingdon and St. Edmund Half) . The President hailed this contribution as typical: Arthur Farrand Radley (no relation apart from a common heritage in the Conquest) was an outstanding Hon. Secretary and he would be quite lost without him. 4. HON . TREASURER'S REPORT D. J. Day said that he had nothing very dramatic to report about the Accounts for 1986-87. In commenting on the Income and Expenditure Account he apologised for a mistake in the description of the allocation to the ladies' eight, which should have read 'for a new eight' and not for 'repairs'. A further appropriation of £1,000 to the Directory Fund resulted in there being a total of £2,500 available for that purpose, of which only £2,000 (with payment spread over two years) was expected to be needed for the 'current' issue. The Executive Committee had been looking at the general financial picture. Next year our surplus of income over expenditure was expected to be £1,000-or not much less-and we, in any case, had £2,432 as our general reserve. So, allowing for an appropriation of a further £500 to the Directory Fund, for some loss of investment income and the retention of 'a nest-egg for a rainy day', the Committee believed it would be safe to think, next June, in terms of allocating £2,000 for the current needs or purposes of the Hall. Members would be thinking up bright ideas within the next six months. On the proposal of Gordon Shield, seconded by Jack Lee, the Balance Sheet and annexed Income and Expenditure Account for the year ended 31 July 1987, as audited and published in advance for information in the 1986-87 Magazine, were unanimously adopted. The President congratulated Desmond Day: he made us think, and everyone liked that. His Accounts were a model of clarity. 5. ELECTIONS On the nomination of the Executive Committee- no other nominations being received in response to the invitation contained in the distributed AGM Agenda paper, and the candidates being willing to stand- the following elections/re-

elections were made unanimously:Hon. Secretary 1988 Hon. Treasurer 1988

(one-year appointment) -H. A. F. Radley (re-elected) (one-year appointment) -D. J. Day (re-elected)

Members of the Executive Committee by Matriculation Date Groups:Up to 1934: -G. L. H. R. Shield (retiring by rotation, re-elected) 1935-44:- J. P. de Courcy Meade ( )

( ) 1945-54:-D. J. Derx A. R. J. Lloyd (mat. 1946) (elected vice J. C. Graffy, resigned) (retiring by rotation, re-elected) 1955-64:-P. R. Lewis 1965-74:-R. M. Ridley ( ) 1975-84:-Miss R. M. Martel ( )

6. HoN. AUDITOR 1988 (one-year appointment) J. R. Paul was unanimously re-appointed. The President said he always did an excellent job- thoughtful, helpful and willing. 7. DATE OF NEXT MEETING Tuesday, 10 January 1989, Simpson's-in-the-Strand, 6.15 p.m. There being no further business authorised to be transacted at an Annual General Meeting the Meeting closed at 6.28 p.m., an overall duration of 10 minutes. This can well be claimed (subject to scrutiny by the Hall Archivist) as an all-time record for the combined Aularian/St. Edmund Hall Associations since the foundati'on of the former at the Inaugural Meeting held on 21 April 1925.

He was sorry that Mrs. Gosling had been prevented at the last minute from attending and that once again we were deprived of the pleasure of welcoming Dr. John Kelly because he was suffering from a cold. While, as always, he sent his affectionate greetings to Aularians everywhere 'Aulae et Orbi', Dr. Kelly felt it only right that he should offer something warmer on a cold January evening to those present at the Dinner ('you lot', as eloquently expressed by the President) and was prepared to go to 'loving regards'.

The President went on to thank all those who had helped him during his first year of office. As he had promised, the year had been marked by a surge of literary activity under the aegis of the Association; but, he warned, the results of such activity had to be paid for in advance, as long experience of the book publishing business had proved. 'Hall', a collection of reminiscences and essays under the editorship of Alan Jenkins (m. 1932). by Aularians who matriculated between 1920 and 1980, would be published later in the year. In the meantime Peter Slip was on hand to receive orders from all those who wished to take advantage of the pre-publication price of £5.95 per copy. Another literary gem was still on offer. This was 'The Complete Quirks', a collection of anecdotes published last year as an affectionate tribute to the four lately-retired English dons so well known to us all. He, Roger Farrand, could not help feeling a twinge of envy towards all those who had read English during the past twenty years and participated in so many joyous tutorials eventually to be commemorated at 'An English Occasion' last May (see the 1986-87 Magazine). The new S.E.H. Directory was now in .an even more advanced state of preparation. He exhorted those who had still to contribute to give full details of themselves and their activities; in the meantime he thanked all those who were giving up so much of their time to producing this invaluable work. He appealed to Aularians not to throw away their old books but to send them to the College. Thrning to other subjects, the President wished to express his special thanks to Peter Slip and Alan Simmond for their efforts in starting up a careers advice service for undergraduate members of the College. He referred to the various gifts made by the Association during the past year; £500 towards the cost of a new boat for the ladies, a project enthusiastically supported by Graham Midgley; £250 for assistance in travel facilities; £125 for the College music room, and a further £125 for the College gardens. Altogether a busy year reflected in the applause given to ' the President as he sat down. The Principal began his speech by referring to certain items of news which had already been recorded in greater detail in the Magazine. The first was a sad one; the death in July 1987 of Cyril Anslow after fifty years' devoted service to the College. He was much loved and will be· greatly missed. The Principal was, however, happy to report that Don Filer was still active in retirement after sixty years' service to the ·College. He was the last holder of the ancient title of Manciple to the Hall, and when he retired from that post in 1977 he continued to work part time for the College for another ten years. While on the subject of ·retirement, the Principal felt that he could not refrain from mentioning once again the losses suffered by the College, and the English school in particular, from tl).e rece~t departures of Dr. Bruce Mitchell and Mr. Reggie ·Alton following that .of the Rev'd. Graham Midgley a few years ago. The Rev'd. Joim · Cowdrey, although · in s'emi-retirement, was fortunately still with us as a ·s~u1or. Research ·t'tiliow. ·. , · .' · · · · . Anothet great lqss io a wide circle of Aularian friends would be that of Miss ·Mary Boak, happily present at the Dinner; she was due to retire in March after · ina~y ·years· as College Secretary under three Principals. She joined the College in 1964. · · · The Principal fhen referred to the Government's new proposals on educational reform and their effects on the running of universities. He had grave misgivings about the future if those proposals were implemented to their full extent. Fortunately, however, there were less gloomy matters to report. Aularians would be pleased to learn that the richer colleges had agreed to transfer certain funds

to the less well-endowed colleges, and as a result St. Edmund Hall was likely to receive £1,900,000 in the course of the next few years. In addition, Dr. Frederick Brockhues, an Honorary Fellow and the College's great friend and benefactor, had now made another munificent donation; £400,000, three-quarters of which was intended to provide accommodation for graduates and the remaining £100,000 to fund a fellowship. There had been good receipts from the letting of Isis during the summer months. Last September's Gaudy had been a great success and highly enjoyable. Lord Jenkins, as our new Visitor, had attended the St. Edmund's Feast Dinner for the first time on 16 November 1987 and was well received. Dr. F. J. C. Rossotti was the College's new Vice-Principal in succession to Dr. Mitch·ell. In the academic sphere the College had once again achieved a very respectable number of firsts (13). In sport there had been further successes, details of which are recorded in the Magazine; these include winning the Rugby cuppers for the ninth consecutive year. The Principal concluded on a note of historical interest. The College had always had the right of presentation on every third occasion to the joint livings of Ninfield with Hooe in East Sussex, and the Governing Body was proposing to surrender the advowson to these livings to the diocese of Chichester. In addition to the Association' s guests the following Aularians attended the Dinner:1922 Dr. E. P. Brice, 1930 Sir Claude Hayes, 1932 David Floyd, Sir William Nield, The Very Rev. H. H . E.

Regrets and greetings to all present were extended by previous attendees David Band, George Barner, A. Warne Boyce, Eric G. Curtis, William K. Patterson and Anthony Pearson. Bill Miller who convened the gathering for the third consecutive year spoke about the Norham St. Edmund Appeal and encouraged Aularians resident in the United States to participate. He reported that from the proceeds of the 1986 dinner $262.00 would be sent to the Hall, of which $208.00 had already been remitted in 1986 and the balance would be remitted shortly together with the proceeds of the current dinner. Fletcher Newsum, who unfortunately was prevented from attending at the last moment, has kindly agreed to keep up .to date the list of Aularians resident in the United States in order that we can be able to contact as many as possible with regard to participation in future dinners. Aularians coming to the States are encouraged to contact Fletcher Newsum at the following address: Drexel Burnham Lambert Inc. 55 Broad Street New York, N.Y. 10004 At the conclusion of the evening it was unanimously agreed to reconvene on Friday, November 18, 1988 at the Sky Club for another dinner to celebrate St. Edmund's Day.

of the Magazine is always pleased to receive obituary notices from friends of Aularians who have died. Friends of the late Peter Rob bins will be interested to learn that a biography has been published by G. and A. Publishing Ltd., The Old Rectory, Richards Castle, Ludlow. By Michael Blair, it has the appropriate title, Life at One Hundred Miles an Hour. It is now just over a year since Cyril Anslow died and we hope that the many Old Members who remember him will like the photograph that is reproduced in this edition of the Magazine. Mrs Ethel Anslow lives at 7 St. Andrews Road, Headington, Oxford OX3 9DL, and will always be pleased to hear from Aularians who knew Cyril. In remembering her husband, we should also recall that Ethel herself served the Hall in various ways for fifty years, a remarkable century of service from the Anslow family.

APART FROM THE DRAMATIC but temporary increase in the number of people rowing for Eights, the year has produced a relatively low number of crew; these crews have, however, had a very successful year. Three men's novice crews and a Junior VIII were entered for Christ Church Regatta. The novice 'A: crew showed considerable style and stamina, losing an extremely close quarter final in the last few strokes. The Junior VIII also showed great promise, mixing an experienced stern pair with a powerful crew; however, once again the crew only reached the quarter finals. Richard Smalman-Smith won the men's sculls event. Hilary Term rowing was severely reduced for all colleges, with the Isis swollen and flooded and OUBC closing both the Godstow and OUBC stretches to all but University crews. Torpids preparations were pushed into the two and a half weeks available. The First Torpid was a mix of experienced oarsmen (Ian Grant and Simon Gerrish) and some less experienced oarsmen, including one novice, urged and inspired by cox Louise Foister. Under pressure the lack of experience didn't show and the commitment and crew spirit were such that three places were gained in the move to ninth on the river, at the expense of Worcester, St. Catherine's and Lincoln. An Hilarian crew was formed from finalists and postgraduates, all of First or Second VIII standard. This crew surprised nobody on getting blades and were never required to row further than Donnington Bridge. A successful Hilary Term culminated in Cherwell Regatta where the novice crew showed immense courage and determination but narrowly lost a fine race on a re-row after a dead heat. Richard Smalman-Smith entered and won the Men's Open Sculls. Good weather in Trinity Term overcame thoughts of examinations and seven men's crews emerged, five of which qualified for the main divisions. The Argonauts, Syndicate and Second Eights all performed creditably given the lack of preparation but made no significant gains. The Second VIII, stroked by Steve Asplin, developed good balance but lacked technique and experience. A powerful MCR VIII acquired blades, led by the experience and enthusiasm of Willfam Connolley. First VIII training was hindered by a late final selection and the non-availability of rack space at Godstow. However Katherine Finucane and Hugh Thomas skilfully converted an untidy crew into a cohesive unit. This was considered to be a better VIII than that of the last few years. Although a powerful attack got the crew within a length of Christ Church, the only bump achieved was against Worcester. Their fifth position, behind Oriel, New College, University and Christ Church, was a satisfactory finish to Eights Week. This year we were fortunate to gain Andrew McJannet (stroke: University Lightweight) and to have the considerable bumps experience of Mick Jenkins, Ian Grant, Steve King and Nick Downing as well as the power of Andy Gowans, the schoolboy experience of Simon Gerrish and Richard Smalman-Smith, and the aggressive coxing of Louise Foister.

The finale to the year was provided by a novice crew win at Oriel Regatta. This group trained hard throughout the year in various crews, often organising and coaching themselves. The enthusiasm and commitment shown is an example to anyone of any standard. If this attitude prevails we should be able to build on this success next year. Finally thanks are due to our dedicated coaching team of Katherine Finucane and Hugh Thomas, to Chris Morgan our Boatman, to our Presidents Graham Midgley and Ann Taylor, and especially to everyone who has recently donated to the Boat Club Appeal. C.R.S-S. (The Captain of Boats having failed to respond to the usual three requests, the Magazine is very grateful to Richard Smalman-Smith for producing the above report at very short notice. Ed.) THE LADIES BOAT CLUB

THE LADIES BOAT CLUB has this year acquired a new wooden boat and a set of blades. We are extremely grateful to the Old Members Association for their donation of ÂŁ500 and to the Governing Body for their gift of ÂŁ1,000, which enabled us to purchase this essential equipment for the women. It has proved invaluable and meant that we could particip~te in the ARA Regatta at Thames Ditton. The number of women rowing in the College has grown considerably this year and, encouragingly, three VIIIs competed during the summer. This will put us in a strong position for next year. Finals and injuries deprived the First VIII of a great deal of experience in Trinity Term, and the crew for Summer Eights suffered as a result. A crew comprising several novices trained with dedication and enthusiasm and although they could not match the experience of other crews, the positive outcome is that several rowers with competition experience will be available next year. We should like to thank Richard Fishlock for coaching and organising the purchase of equipment, Ann Thylor for her invaluable help and support, Joe Todd for advice on Amalgamated Clubs matters, and Penny Allison, Captain of the First Summer Eight. J.T. C.C. THE ST EDMUND HALL SYNDICATE Captain: JOHN BLOOMER President: RAFF RUSSELL Secretary: TOM LEARNER

THE ST EDMUND HALL SYNDICATE qualified for and competed in Summer Eights for the third year in succession and has provided a full diary of social events for its members. The year began with a jazz and cocktails evening at which the new crew, drawn .from both the Junior and Middle Common Rooms and from old members, were entertained by Mr. Michael Garrick at the piano. At the Annual General Meeting in Hilary Term a lively gathering of members welcomed the Comm_ittee's determination to make the long road to Summer Eights a thoroughly enjoyable one. Training in Trinity Term was interrupted only by the Annual Dinner which saw old members returning from the length and breadth of the country. Summer Eights saw some spirited rowing from the crew against some

very high standard Schools Eights. The lack of a bump was easily forgotten as the crew, resplendent in its new kit, provided an entertaining spectacle for the. crowds in true Syndicate spirit. J.M.B. THE RUGBY FOOfBALL CLUB

Captain: ANDREW ROLFE (Cuppers) JASON WILKINS (League) Secretary: PAT JENNINGS THE 1987/ 88 SEASON stands as a memorable year for Hall rugby. Winning Cuppers for a record ninth year, the League First XV competition and the new League Second XV division, our results could hardly have been improved upon. The common denominator in all these sides was complete forward dominance in all games and a spirit founded on a strong team identity and a fear of tarnishing the outstanding Hall rugby reputation established over previous decades. The League First XV enjoyed their dominance founded on the new Hall dictum- never give the ball to the backs until at least fourth phase- and gave many players in College the opportunity of playing in a cohesive and successful team. A positive contribution to Hall League rugby in recent years has been made by visiting Stanford students. This year four Americans represented the Hall, an association that has added considerably to the enjoyment we all derive from playing college rugby. The Second XV, enthusiastically captained by Tim Fell, found itself a composite of loose- and front-row forwards. Few three-quarters could be found. To suit these talents the team utilized only three forms of attack-the slow rolling maul, the push-over try, and the crash ball . .These methods were sufficient to ensure seven wins out of seven and victory in this newly formed division. Drawing on our successes in the League and the inputs of Iffley Road players, the Cuppers First XV side produced some spectacular rugby and performed with aggression and skills admired throughout the competition. Despite many missed opportunities we opened the season with a 19-7 win over Wadham. Disappointment over our poor first round performance prompted one of the Hall's finest wins in the second game, against Christ Church. Our 54-4 win was based on solid forward control and determined skills in the backs, a great confidence booster for the games ahead. Following easy wins over Worcester (65 -4) and Pembroke (64-6), we approached the Iffley Road final acutely aware that a victory in this game would establish a new record of successive wins. (We would, of course, be breaking the old Hall record of the 1960s.) Our opponents, University College, boosting a far older side, including three Blues and an international centre in their backline, were able to hold the lead until half-time, aided by a gale force wind behind them. At the break, down 9-3, desperation tinged the Captain's pep talk. However in the second half the team's persistence and acute desire to win provided four fine tries. Increased confidence in the backs and good driving forward support play secured our 23-9 win. The Cuppers final epitomized the enthusiasm, skill and determination of all the Hall sides. The Cuppers Second XV displayed similar characteristics, reaching the quarter final where they were beaten by a strong Keble First XV. At the University level, Chris Crone, Nick Peacock and Andrew Rolfe were awarded their Blues, while Nick Sharrock and Simon Crawford frequently represented the Blues in Hilary Term. Special mention should also be made of Reg, the new Hall Barman and a loyal fan, who helped in hosting visiting teams and in post-match celebrations. A.J.R.

THE HILARIANS Captain: JONATHAN WALDRON THE CHARACTERISTIC good humour and relaxed approach to the game, which have been the hallmark of the Hilarian members of the Rugby Club in past years, were ever-present in the 1987/88 season. The Hilarian XV won all their fixtures convincingly, performance unaffected if not enhanced by their no-training policy. The high point of the season was a 30-6 whitewash of Oriel Second XV, with Crawford showing surprising pace at outside half. Unfortunately, due to the restructuring of the interccollegiate League, fixtures have become increasingly difficult to organise with the other, less enthusiastic colleges. Thanks must go to Tim Fell in . his role as unofficial Secretary, and to Reg the Barman for helping with refreshments. Ferguson will be sorely missed at full back next year.

J.W. THE ASSOCIATION FOOfBALL CWB Captain: PHIL EDGE Secretary: MIKE HILL THE FOOTBALL CLUB experienced a remarkably similar season to last year, the First XI finishing in the middle of the League and both the First and Second Elevens losing to the eventual winners in the semi-finals of their respective Cuppers. The Third XI performed creditably in a League comprising mainly college second teams, despite opening with a 10-0 defeat. Many of this year's players will still be at the Hall next year, so the Club looks forward to great things under the new captaincy of Dave Southall. P.E.

THE HOCKEY CLUB Captain: ADRIAN MAXWELL Secretary: CHRIS COLE IN MICHAELMAS TERM we were knocked out of Cuppers in the first round by the eventual winners, Brasenose. The score was 2-1 and considering that we only had a playing pool of thirteen this was an excellent performance. The League in Hilary Term paid much better dividends. A consistent performance, together with good team spirit and commitment from all concerned, ensured that we finished as runners-up in Division Two, thereby gaining promotion to Division One after an absence of only one season. The Club thanks Dr. Simon Harley (now off to Edinburgh) for all his assistance both on and off the field. A.M.

THE LADIES HOCKEY CLUB Captain: PENNY ALLISON

Secretary: ANNA BOTTING

THE LADIES' HOCKEY TEAM started the season on a very successful note by beating Jesus 4-0 in the final of the Wadham Tournament. Continued success was met en route to the semi-finals of the Cuppers competition. St. Edmund Hall beat

Hertford 4-0, Pembroke 4-0, Lincoln 4-0, Queen's 2-1, Somerville 3-0, losing only to Merton 1-2. Victory was won over Christ Church (2-0) in the quarter-finals, but the team was narrowly beaten by St. Hugh's in the semi-finals on sudden death penalty flicks. Congratulations go to two of our members, Heather Watson and Jo Rainbow, on attaining their hockey Blues in this year's varsity match, particularly to Heather who is to captain the ladies' university team next term. K.N. THE CRICKET CLUB

Captain: DAVE KASSLER Secretary: GAVIN FLOOK

AS IS cusTOMARY, our season was dominated by the forces of nature, which caused no fewer than nine games to be cancelled or abandoned. In Cuppers our three teams were unfortunately eliminated in the first round. The First XI lost narrowly to Exeter, or more accurately to a single Blues all-rounder, Bolton. More encouragingly, our young side established itself successfully in the friendly fixture list after a shaky start, eventually winning and drawing as many matches as it lost. The age composition of this team augurs well for the "future. Memorable among our three victories was a very satisfying win against the touring Philanderers, including a thrilling 97 from Atkinson with Dominy taking 5 for 60. At Jesus we very nearly triumphed over their habitual dour reluctance to play the game, with an excellent stand between Bayley (87) and Evans (57), leaving Jesus to struggle for their usual draw. This season congratulations are due in particular to Hagen, who batted excellently for the Blues, and to Nawaz and Coltart, next year's Captain, for representing the Authentics. Atkinson, in his Finals term, managed 467 runs at an average of over 70 and was consistently our best bowler. Finally, thanks are due to the Secretary, Flook, who showed great devotion, and to the Teddy Bears' Captain, Simon, for providing welcome refreshment. D.K. THE ATHLETICS CLUB

Captains: JEREMY LAI, HALCYON WILLS

THE ORGANISATION of the men's Cuppers competition underwent a generally unwelcome change this year. The old format was replaced by a single event held over two days in which a few talented individuals counted more than a solid team performance. Despite this change I felt that Teddy Hall could muster up a team with the potential to win. Unfortunately, when the time came, we found ourselves with some key athletes injured and only managed fourth place behind St. John's (the winners), Brasenose and Lincoln. This position was gained from good performances by Simon Briggs and Pete Donati in the throws, Dell Horton in the sprints, and Tony Rossiter, Andy Martyn and Clive Sentance in the middle distances. A special thanks must go to Andy Martyn for his endless enthusiasm and sound tactical advice. The women's match was held once again in Hilary Term. The team, although weak in numbers (due mainly to illness and injury), was not weak in enthusiasm, with several of our athletes getting involved as second and sometimes first string competitors in any extra events for which they were needed. We managed to produce a fairly able team which moved us from seventh place last year to a good fourth. With the weakness basically being depth in the team I think, with a bif

of encouragement, we could win next year. Thanks and congratulations go to Anna Botting, Poppy Psillas, Elizabeth Pickett, Joanne Lihou, Clare Cowley and everyone else who took part. J.L. H.W. THE 'MEN'S CROSS COUNTRY CLUB Captain: MARTIN BORRETT

THE MEN'S Cross Country Club had a pleasingly successful season, with a closely fought victory in the revamped Oxford Colleges Running League. This year, interest in the League, university-wide, increased dramatically, with a record number of participants. The traditional St. Edmund Hall Road Relays were the climax to the League and it was fitting that the Hall should clinch the League victory from Worcester and Lincoln in their own relays. Although not victorious in Cuppers, the League win was most pleasing, especially because, with it, came two barrels of beer. The League success was due to good turnouts, especially in the first of the five races, the Tortoises '5' last October. Special mention should go to all those who ran in three or more of the five races and particularly to Tony Rossiter, Andy Martyn and Waiter Fraser. Mention should also be made of the success of the Hall Road Relays which, this year, involved over 130 teams from universities nationwide. M.J.B. THE LADIES CROSS COUNTRY CLUB Captain: HELEN HOYLE

CUPPERS took place in Michaelmas Term. This year the course was slightly different, but still about two and a half miles long, finishing in a field near Donnington Bridge. Although the Hall contributed about ten runners, recruited from among the College's rowers and hockey players, we could not match the athletic prowess of colleges such as Queen's. Both Queen's, who won, and Corpus, included international athletes among their team members, and the standard was high among the front runners. Many of our women organized the excellent tea afterwards which was held in the Iffley Road rugby pavilion. Unfortunately the women runners consumed most of this before the men had finished their race. The Hall also contributed a women's team in the annual St. Edmund Hall Relays in Hilary Term. This year this was a massive fixture, organized by Colin Phillips of Worcester and our own Martin Borrett. A hundred and seventy teams entered and the race was featured in the magazine, Athletics Weekly. H.H. THE TENNIS CLUB Captain: P AOLO MAURO

Secretary: DEMETRI PSILLOS

IN SPITE OF a few 'technical difficulties' due to our grass courts having been damaged by moles, we had an extremely successful season in which we won every one of our League games, finishing as Champions of the First Division. Although the strength of our team, generally consisting of J. G., Jeremy Leese, Adrian Lewitt, Dan McCallum, Steve Waygood and John Wilson, depended upon our

having several very consistent players, Jack Genser earned special praise for playing excellent tennis throughout the season. The second team, whose Captain was Demetri Psillos, also had a very enjoyable season, and given the great number of keen players that took part, we could even start thinking about a third team. P.M. THE SQUASH CLUB

Captains: MARK LITTLE

ALAN WATKINS HAVING LOST just one member of last year's League-winning First Team squad, it was with confidence that we anticipated another successful season. Our very first match, after the long summer break, turned out to be the vital one of the first term against the consistently strong postgraduate Wolfson side. Sadly, the narrow defeat which we suffered cost us the League title in Michaelmas Term, even though we won every other game. This only served to strengthen our resolve to re-establish our premier position in the League and Cuppers competition in Hilary Term. In a term packed with matches we did well to progress to the semi-final stages of Cuppers before losing to a Balliol side that included three Blues players. In the League we made amends for the previous defeat by convincingly beating Wolfson I and so fulfilled the potential which we had always promised, concluding the season as Champions of Division One for the second year running. The second team did well to maintain their position in Division Two after being promoted last year. Many thanks and congratulations are especially due to Mike Hill, Jason Wilkins, Steve Hodgson and Alan Watkins, the core of the first team who are now leaving. Next year's Captain, who has the task of building a squad to replace these triumphant stalwarts, will be Dan Beard. M.R.L. THE CROQUET CLUB

Captain: TIM FELL

CROQUET has enjoyed a rapid increase in popularity in recent years and college croquet is thriving on a flood of new members eager to learn the game. This year's Cuppers competition, sponsored by Laurent-Perrier Champagne, was one of the largest tournaments in the world with an initial entry of 64 teams. Three teams were invited from the College and trials and practices replaced the once familiar 'Can you play croquet? front quad search for players. In the event we had a rather unlucky draw and the second and third teams were defeated in the first round. The first team, Tony Rossiter, Andrew Steane, Simon Hodgson and Tim Fell, undeterred and playing well, had a thrilling exchange with Keble, last year's Cuppers winners, in the third round. With each team winning one game, the result was decided on the number of hoops run and we unfortunately lost 35-26. Keble went on to win Cuppers and afterwards paid us a. kind tribute, saying we had been their hardest competition and it was a shame we had met so early. This was great inspiration to the whole team, all of whom are available to play for the .College again next year. On the social front, a barbecue and croquet afternoon was organised with the Polytechnic but was unfortunately cancelled at the last moment. However the croquet lawn was the site of many impromptu garden parties all term and promises much for the future. T.F.

THE BASKETBALL CLUB Captain: GRAHAM WORTH Secretary: PHILLIP WALDNER

THIS YEAR the Basketball Club reached new heights. Weekly practices have been held since the beginning of Hilary Term and overall around 40 members of College have tried their hand at this sport. Such was the enthusiasm that three teams were fielded in men's Cuppers and one team in women's Cuppers. SEH I fielded a strong team. This year we were fortunate in having a strong American influence. Special mention must go to Pete Donarti and Ian Harper who gave the team an added sparkle. In Cuppers we beat Christ Church, St. Catherine's and Queen's but lost to the very good Brasenose and Balliol sides. SEH 11 and Ill were composed of enthusiastic but inexperienced players. Unfortunately enthusiasm was not enough and the second team lost to Mansfield and St. Anne's whilst the third team lost to New College. As well as being the only college to field more than one team in men's Cuppers, we were the only college to field a single college team in women's Cuppers, the other teams being amalgamations of Blues players from various colleges. Despite other colleges having to resort to these tactics we were still the only team to field a full side at any match and so came officially second in the competition by default, even though the ladies actually lost all the games they played. Phi! Waldner has been much of the inspiration behind all this enthusiasm and as he is taking over as Captain next year we should be able to build on this year's achievements and make next year even more successful. G.A.W. l'HE NETBALL CLUB Captain: HEATHER McCALWM

IT WAS ANOTHER successful season for Hall netball with the team winning the League in Michaelmas Term and doing well in Hilary Term. A strong performance in Cuppers resulted in a well-earned second position. H.D.M . THE TABLE TENNIS CLUB Captain: SIMON BRIGGS Secretary: DEMETRI PSILLOS

ONCE AGAIN three Hall teams competed in the inter-collegiate Leagues, with varying degrees of success. The first team of Simon Briggs, Stefan Wickham and Alan Watkins performed well, narrowly missing promotion. Sadly the second team was relegated, but the third team maintained a respectable mid-table position. Notable performers in the lower teams were Kevin Johnson, Mathew Fitzgerald, Martin Wailer, Antony Ray and Jim Charles. In Cuppers the Hall was unluckily drawn against a strong Lady Margaret Hall team in the first round and lost, despite the valiant efforts of Stefan Wickham who won all his games. D.P. THE DARTS CLUB Captain: GAVIN FLOOK THE DARTS CWB had a very successful year at the oche, coming fourth in the First Division of the University Darts League. The most remarkable aspect of our season was our propensity to contrive a draw out of almost any situation. Of our

seven draws the most amazing was that against Queen's. With the match situation at 6-5 to Queen's, Jes Atkinson and College Barman Reg had yet to score a starting double when the Queen' s pair got down to a double finish. Unable to find the winning throw, Queen's came under pressure as Reg and Jes eventually began to score and approach a finish. Queen's fumbled their way to double one, or 'mad-house' as it is known among the darts fraternity. With tension mounting Reg sank the crucial arrow. Rumour has it that Queen's were afraid of not being served the next time they visited the Hall bar. Special mention must go to Regular team members Vernon Marville, Alan Watkins, Martin Harris, Simon Briggs, Nick Hall-Palmer and Jes Atkinson, as well as Reg, who kindly spent some of his nights off on our side of the bar. Finally our thanks go to the Bursar who generously installed a fire in the Well to keep us warm on those long winter evenings. Won-2; Drawn-7; Lost-3. G.F. THE MUSIC SOCIETY

President: CLAIRE HARRISON

THROUGHOUT THIS YEAR, musical life at the Hall has been pretty active, with ambitious orchestral/choral concerts, informal lunchtime recitals and a fund raising 'Bop'. In Michaelmas Term a very enjoyable performance of Vivaldi's Gloria was given in the Old Dining Hall, conducted by Luke Goss. It was the first time in almost two years that an orchestra and choir had performed together at the Hall. Due to the lack of performing space in the Old Dining Hall the Wolfson Hall became the venue for the concerts in Hilary Term. Luke Goss (horn) and Anthony 'Mouse' Chalmers (piano) each gave extremely polished musical performances of a Mozart concerto in the next concert, backed by the 'Aularian Chamber Orchestra'. Bach's Magnificat, conducted by Paul Carey, featured in the final concert that term, along with two of his duo-concertos. The Magnificat demands a great deal from the choir but after a term of struggle managed to pull it off very successfully. The two concertos featured Hester Barrington-Ward and Paul Boasman (both violin) who gave been a great help both organising and playing in the year's events. The Society has been shown a lot of support from the SCR this year, both on and off the concert platform. Ying Chang gave a memorable piano recital at the beginning of Hilary Term whilst Dr. Peter Collins has been invaluable with his enthusiastic commitment as Senior Member and in his debut as orchestral conductor. It has been reassuring to note the high percentage of Hall members performing in the concerts this year. Thanks must go to Luke Goss who has been very active in the Hall's musical life during his time here, and to Paul Carey, with his never complacent attitude, without whom almost none of these events would have happened. C.R.H. THE CHOIRS

Organ Scholar: PAUL CAREY TWO CHOIRS have operated in Hall over the past academic year. The Chapel Choir has continued to sing Eucharist and Evensong (alternating) on Sunday .evenings

and has a small, but loyal, membership. The College Choir (relabelled 'The Aularian Choir' as this name is far more pretentious) gave a performance of Vivaldi's Gloria in Michaelmas Term and the Bach Magnificat in Hilary, both with a 'College' orchestra led by Paul Boasman, Luke Goss and myself, conducting. Membership of this choir has never been a problem and I am able to draw on people from all over the University. Gaining new members for the Chapel Choir, however, has proved difficult as Chapel attendance generally is rather erratic and poor. Somehow singing in a chapel choir doesn't seem to have the mass appeal of singing in a 'secular' group. P.C. THE CHRISTIAN UNION Leaders: SIMON HODGSON, ANDY O'CONNELL, KATHY SMITH 1987/88 HAS BEEN a dynamic year for the Hall Christian Union, starting with a very successful houseparty before Michaelmas Term to which a good number of the CU and (to our surprise) ten freshers came. This signalled the start of a year of growth, with at least six Hall members deciding that Jesus Christ is alive and needs more than just a passing thought. Several people publically affirmed their relationship to God in believer's baptism. Hilary Term brought the triennial Oxford Intercollegiate Christian Union mission. Thddy Hall's main contribution was a concert by the up and coming band 'Fat and Frantic' which filled the Wolfson Hall and proved to be a highly enjoyable and frantic evening. A couple of car loads of us joined the Christian community at Lee Abbey, Devon, with over a hundred students over the Easter vacation for a week working on the estate-excellent, but a pity about the rain. Trinity Term has seen three new leaders-Alan Akeroyd, Clare Rhodes-James and Halcyon Wills-who have got off to an innovative start, with events ranging from a 'drama' evening to an open-top bus trip to Blenheim Palace for a lazy afternoon. We also fielded two teams for a Broomball match for the ITV Telethon, held at Oxford Ice Rink, unfortunately both teams not quite making the final. A.O'C. THE WRD METHUEN DINING SOCIETY President: MIKE RYAN Secretary: ADRIAN MAXWELL Treasurer: .MARK LED DEN A DINNER marking the re-birth of this Society was held in Trinity Term 1988. The current Lord Methuen, writing from his home in Wiltshire, declined an invitation to attend but wished us 'a sumptuous meal'. Thirty-five members, each wearing a yellow flower or yellow item of clothing, had just such a meal in the Old Dining Hall; this was followed by dessert in the JCR Party Room (renamed the Methuen Room for the night). Dr. Bruce Mitchell was the guest of honour. The Rev. Graham Midgley, who had been a senior member of the original society, had also been invited but was unable to attend due to illness. He later, very kindly, donated his original yellow satin cummerbund to the Society, suggesting it be the presidential badge of office. It will be passed on from year to year. It is hoped to establish contact with members of the original society and that the dinner become an annual event. A.M.

THE WOMEN'S GROUP

Organizer: POLLY GLYNN THE ST. EDMUND HALL Women's Group was founded two years ago out of a general feeling of unease among the then first year women about sexist attitudes in the university. Since then it has provided a valuable forum for discussion on a variety of issues concerning both women and men. Outside speakers are occasionally invited to speak, or else members speak about a topic that interests them. Discussions have been held on such topics as Women in Literature, Pornography, Feminism, and Sexism in Language, as well as more immediate issues such as sexual harassment. Most meetings are open. Although not strictly to do with the aims of the Group, a lunch for women is organized every year to help College women, especially those in the first year, to meet each other. P.G.

We would like to make particular mention of two posthumous publications of Aularians which have been given for the Aularian Bookshelf: firstly the late William Urry's book: Christopher Mar/owe and Canterbury, (edited by A. Butcher), which he was working on when he was here as a Fellow, and we would like to record our thanks to Katie Urry for sending us a copy; and then the doctoral thesis of the late Neville Williams (m. 1946): The maritime trade of the East Anglian ports, 1550-1590, which has been edited by Dr. George Ramsay

(Emeritus Fellow), and published by the Oxford University Press. We are very glad to have both of these greatly valued publications for the collection. Among other gifts to the library we would like to record grateful thanks to Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Romily of Plymouth for giving a sum of money for the purchase of books for the English section; to Mr. B. P. Middleton (m. 1957), Kevin Hull (m. 1980), and Shannon Stuart (m. 1986) for generous sums of money; to Ian Hawkes (m. 1983) for gaining the library a handsome donation for the law section by winning the Richards Butler prize for the best paper on International Trade; and to Andrew Peacock (m. 1972) and the Morgan Guaranty Trust of New York for a further generous gift of money for the purchase of books on international relations. We also wish to thank the Florida State Law Summer School for giving us a very special and most welcome book for the Fine Art section, which otherwise would have been beyond our means. We have received a further large consignment of books from Dr. R. T. C. Worsley (m. 1939), sent over from Canada for the Emden Collection; this collection now occupies virtually the whole of one floor in the tower, and must be the finest of its kind in Oxford, and possibly in the U.K., thanks to the generosity of Dr. and Mrs. Worsley. The library is also indebted to the following for their generous gifts: R. E. Alton (Fellow); A. Briggs (Fellow); K. A. Briggs (1987); 0. T. Brown (1933); P. Chivers (Maintenance Staff); N. E.
