ST EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE VOL. XIV. No. 1

October 1991

EDITOR: D. I. SCARGILL READERS of the Magazine may be forgiven for thinking that there is a touch of nostalgia about this year's feature articles. Interest in the Hall Barge has revived after an interval of fifteen years and I am grateful to three sleuths who, individually and together, tracked the vessel down to its present mooring. Their researches ran into a few squalls, but danger of shipwreck was averted by much goodwill, and the result is there for all to enjoy. Another piece of detective work arises out of last year's description of the St Peter-in-the-East memorials, revealing the true identity of Godscalcus and the sad history of a foreign student in Oxford. The subjects of other articles range from a Chilean boyhood, a cycle ride to Pontigny and a life spent in moral re-armament, to the work of the nineteenth-century VicePrincipal, John Hill. The present holder of his office cannot claim to be so hard-worked, but at least John Hill was spared the preparation of seating plans.

FROM THE PRINCIPAL Sir lsaac Wolfson, died in late June. Through the Wolfson Foundation he had been responsible for funding the Wolfson Hall when our new buildings were put up in the late 1960s. Professor John Newsom-Davis has been elected to a Fellowship of the Royal Society, bringing our resident number up to four. Professor Jack McManners has been made a Commandeur des Palmes Academiques, and attended a special ceremony at the Maison Franc;aise to receive the award. Mr John Cowdrey has been elected a Fellow of the British Academy. Dr Ramsay's election as a Senior Fellow of the British Academy was reported in last year's Magazine. He and his wife came to dinner in Michaelmas Term to celebrate the election. Dr Brockhues was made a member of the Chancellor's Court of Benefactors, and was inducted at a ceremony in the autumn. In November the Chancellor came as promised to open the new ONE OF OUR HONORARY FELLOWS,

Brockhues Lodge. The Vice-Chancellor and Proctors also attended, together with about eighty others, including representatives of the Old Members' Association. The ceremony was followed by a lunch in the Wolfson Hall. The rooms are among the best for graduates in Oxford and are not only a welcome addition to the College, but also a notable contribution to the University's efforts to improve provision for graduate students. Mr Robert Venables, a previous Law Fellow, has generously given the money for two additional organ pipes. The organ was built by Wood of Huddersfield and they have the work in train. Our present size (roughly: 45 members of the Governing Body, 370 undergraduates, 100 graduate students) presents a problem of how to achieve more than nodding acquaintance between Senior and Junior members of the College beyond tutorial range. This year we have initiated two experiments. The first is social, and consists of inviting second year undergraduates to small lunch parties with two or three members of the Governing Body. The second is a college society, the Terry J ones Society, for the organisation of theatre outings. It had an inaugural trip to Stratford this year to see Henry IV Part I. We were able to get a group reduction, and hired a coach for the journey. We learned the unwisdom of taking the A34, or the wisdom of first hiring a coach in which the eating of food was not discouraged and then taking a picnic. We made the performance with time for a quick gobble to spare. Otherwise it was extremely successful. During Trinity Term the Officers of the Old Members' Association Executive Committee came to dinner one evening on a voyage of mutual discovery with the Fellows. The evening was a success, and we intend to repeat it, though without Farrand Radley it will hardly be the same. His fourteen years as secretary have left us in his debt. What a challenge for Paul Lewis! Our Dean of Degrees, Reggie Alton, proposed that in future we abolish the fee for taking the M.A., and this has been agreed. I hope that even more Old Members will think of taking their M.A.s. The College giv~s a lunch for candidates and their families, and it is a very pleasant, relaxed occasion. Age should not be allowed to be an embarrassment. After a number of near misses on previous occasions, the Women's Hockey team at last won cuppers, and our Rugby players won the Rugby League Seven-a-side Cuppers. We repeated our previous years' successes in Men's Cross-Country and Athletics. The John Oldham Society has been showing a welcome renaissance, joining the Music Society in its contribution to our 2

cultural life. We once again contributed to Oxford Art Week, this year with contributions from students as well as Fellows and members of staff. This year we have had to give a good deal of thought to the University Commissioners' Model Statute. This is an imposed change on all universities and colleges giving greater flexibility for dismissals. At present our statutes run to sixteen pages, with two paragraphs devoted to how to get rid of the Principal, one to how to get rid of Fellows. The new statute will be like a huge cuckoo in the nest, and if inserted in place of the present dismissal statutes will give the impression that one of the, or even the main purpose of the College is to make people redundant, or declare them professionally incompetent or medically unfit. The Endowments Committee has this year been expanded so as to include a number of Old Members who have generously given of their time and advice. Many others have helped in approaching contemporaries on the College's behalf. The Endowment Fund, grossed (i.e. taking into account completion of covenants and recovery of tax) now stands at just over ÂŁ190,000. In addition some Old Members have made contacts for us which may in due course lead to significant benefactions. Need I say that we are extremely grateful for all efforts and contributions made? I should like to wish you all a happy Christmas and prosperous New Year. VISITS TO THE U.S.A. IN SEPTEMBER 1990, my wife and I visited the United States to attend a meeting of Old Members in Washington. First we stayed a few nights in Pittsburgh with Doreen and Warne Boyce and can vouch that the combination of Britain and South Africa transplanted to the United States produces a stimulating and warming form of hospitality. While there we met Peter and Susan Smerd, and attended a party of Old Oxonians. We were then driven down to Washington, were we stayed with Stefan and Cynthia Graae, who put on a superb party for Aularians and spouses at their house. Bill Sotirovic, Bill Miller and Warne Boyce explained the strategy worked out by the New York group, and how they hoped to extend it to other parts of the U .S.A. This was digested over the excellent dinner, with the help of wine, and many useful suggestions were received. So far as I was concerned, it was a good mixture of familiar and unfamiliar faces. It is always encouraging to know that people one has taught have not thereby been incapacitated for employment.

From Washington we went to Lancaster to visit Franklin and Marshall College, where Doreen is a governor. As a result of discussions there we are currently exploring the possibility of exchanges at both faculty and student level. After a welcome break at the Boyces' house in Rhode Island, with a mad dash to New York in the middle to attend Meg Hyre's wedding, we attended a lunch at the United Nations, under the auspices of Alan Westaway, with a number of New York-based Old Members. In November, I returned to attend the New York St Edmund Day dinner, which had considerately been moved a week earlier, to enable me to attend both it and the Oxford occasion in a moderately alert condition. This year it had been decided to make the dinner a purely social occasion, reserving work to breakfast the next morning. I had been sent with an engraved tumbler for Bill Miller, in appreciation for all he has done for the Hall, expecially in organising these occasions- but not in the hope that his efforts have come to an end. In addition those there presented All en Walker Read (matriculated 1928) with a testimonial to his distinguished career. This was printed on hand-made paper by Vivian Ridler, one time Printer to the University at Oxford, and was signed by all those present. This was a successful ploy to get a speech in response from Alien, who treated us to some entertaining and fascinating reminiscences, recorded on another page. At the working breakfast the next morning we discussed the lessons of the Washington meeting and consequent strategy. It was decided to try to raise money for a new J.C.R. The present one is rather small and gloomy, and the architect has produced sketch plans for a larger room on the first floor (English sense), south-facing and opening onto the raised quad. The result would be a room people might want to congregate in. The work put in by the New York group, under the leadership of Bill Sotirovic, has been impressive and the response encouraging. From New York I went to Ramapo College, who send us an annual conference, in the hope of cementing relations. As usual, the standard of facilities there is noticeably higher that what is normal here, and there is a sense of security about buildings which do not look as though they are getting tired of standing up. Jus tin Gosling SENIOR COMMON ROOM NEWS Dr D. I. Scargill, has been elected ViceChairman of the Juvenile Panel of the Oxford City Magistrates' Bench .

GIFTS TO THE COLLEGE THE GOVERNING BODY acknowledges with gratitude the following gifts: ÂŁ1,500 from the Executive Committee of the St Edmund Hall Association for a laser printer for the JCR; the cost of a new guest room at 26 Norham Gardens from the estate of the late D. J. Parsons; a set of Book of Common Prayer books from Dr Bruce Mitchell for use in Chapel; (These books were dedicated at a Service of Holy Communion in Chapel on 19 May 1991.) organ stops from Mr Robert Venables QC, sometime Fellow (see report of the Organ Scholar under Clubs); a Chippendale bureau and a grandfather clock from the estate of the late Mrs Audrey Blackman; {These were the property of the Haynes family whose portraits hang in the SCR lunch room.) a cut glass whisky decanter from Professor W. B. Matthews; a Book of Remembrance from the family of the late Harolcl Brooks, Honorary Fellow;

archaeological books from the estate of the late D. A. Clarke; plants from Dr Brockhues and Mr John Andrewes for the Front Quad. A CALL FOR PIANOS of the Hall Music Society in recent years and the increase in the number of active musicians have posed a number of (expensive) problems for the College. Some have been solved by equipping a special sub-terranean Music Room and purchasing an upright Rogers for the Ante-Chapel. Now both the Bechstein baby-grand in the Music Room and the upright are showing their age and are requiring a lot of attention. Neither are reliable enough for a major College Concert and the cost of hiring is becoming prohibitive. Recognising the difficulties, the Aularian Association has made a generous donation (of some fifteen hundred pounds) towards the purchase of a good quality grand and commissioned this article. The College has pursued a number of channels with the hope of a (part-) gift or purchase. In particular, it would wish to note in these pages the heroic efforts of Patrick de Courcy Meade. However, so far, all that has occurred is an addition of interest on Aularian capital. Thus, the College would (always) be pleased to hear of the availability of any piano in good condition, which could form a (part-) gift. A grand, suitable for concert performance, would be of special interest. Peter Collins

THE SUCCESS

HALL HALL HAS EARNED over £3,000 for the St Edmund Hall Association. There are copies left at all prices: limp £8.70, case bound (of which stocks are lowest) £14.80, in buckram £28.50 and in half leather £75.00- these last two on special paper. The book has been well reviewed in several journals and is a very good read. A few copies of Hall have been returned ('gone away', 'insufficient address'). If you ordered, and perhaps paid for, a copy which has not come, please write to Farrand Press, 50 Ferry Street, Isle of Dogs, London E14 3DT, and do send a full address. One or two people ordered the very happy video of John Kelly's 80th Birthday Party, sending a credit card number but omitting an address. There are but four copies left. These will be sold to the first to send £20 and an address to Farrand Press (address above). Roger Farrand

FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE JCR has passed with the continued flourishing of all aspects of undergraduate life due to the Hall remaining secure as a place of friendly and good natured achievement. There have been several changes around College, one of the most visible being the installation of a 24-hour access turnstile gate. This is now working successfully, after an adjustment in order to prevent the College's more long-armed members gaining access without a key. The lodge now also sports individual pigeonholes, which have proved to be a mixed blessing- convenient for the students and awful for the porters' backs! Keen participation by men and women in sports at all levels has maintained the Hall's much-vaunted fine sporting tradition with several successes. The Rugby League team won Cuppers, enabling a welcome Rugby Cuppers Supper, while again the Athletics team romped to a Cuppers victory. Eights Week saw a fine turnout at the Boathouse, the Syndicate stealing the show with their dance routines, while the Frigate's rowing prowess won them blades. Other activities have continued to flourish, both within College and University-wide. Many Hall members contribute to University publications, providing their talents as writers, editors, photographers and designers. This year has also seen the revitalization of the John Oldham Society, with the advent of an extremely enthusiastic first year. Successful productions have included 'A Shout Across The River', and 'Romanoff and Juliet ~ , the Old Dining Hall proving to be an excellent venue. Plans abound for more ambitious ventures next year. The Music Society has also undergone a new lease of life, with well-attended lunchtime and evening concerts being held in the Chapel and Old Dining Hall. A College band, 'Glad', have also played several successful concerts both in the Wolfson Hall and around the University, selling their tape to anyone who would listen! I must admit that the JCR has also attempted to diversify into merchandise with the sale of shirts and baseball caps adorned with a Hall logo. However, the distinct lack of a summer this year has hampered the profitability of summer leisurewear . Luckily the rain kept off for the Summer Event, 'Not The Hall Ball', an extremely successful affair with a wide variety of quality entertainments which proved Teddy Hall to indeed be one of Oxford's 'party colleges', though I am sure that people's reactions to this description are mixed. This Event, together with the many other activities typical of a ANOTHER ENJOYABLE YEAR

year in the life of St Edmund Hall, all go to show that the College retains the qualities that make both present and past members proud to be a part of this great institution. The Hall's social cohesion and community spirit are strong, and will remain so as long as Hall men and women continue to make such a great contribution to the precious life and atmosphere of the College.

FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE MCR WITH T HE COMPLETION of the palatial Brockhues Lodge, a cosy graduate community now exists in Norham Gardens. In order to coax MCR members into College we have needed a busy social calendar. The main incentives have been the MCR dinners and, of course, Mrs Brown. With Mrs Brown on High Table, nearly 200 flocked to both the Christmas and Trinity Term dinners . Without her we have had to rely on the entertainment provided by the quality and quantity of Jason Reese's toasts. However, a rival has emerged in the form of John Milloy . His toast to the lassies at the Burns Night Supper was a warm and moving tribute to a sadly departed canine movie star. After such excesses, and the dessert nights, and the international cuisine nights and the popcorn at the video nights , the MCR has had to indulge in some exercise. As is traditional, we lost the football match against the JCR, yet we retained our place in the MCR cricket cuppers semi-finals. Unfortunately we encountered David Pfaff, the South African Blue, who did not hang around in bowling us out for 150 and making 91 himself. More success was to be had on the river where we entered a crew for Eights. The ex-First VIII had over 40 years of experience between them- mostly due to Steve King's participation- and represented the College as its Third Eight. Despite a training programme that only involved walking down to the river, they still gained a bump and demonstrated that they were the most accomplished crew when it came to performing Thunderbirds . An MCR Women's Novice VIII was created with the intention of rowing to The Trout and back. But the weather cooled the enthusiasm, so in the end our training only got as far as the Isis Tavern . The weather also put a dampener on the MCR punting trips, croquet and garden party. But, undaunted, the cricket team is about to undertake a tour of Cambridge, with the emphasis firmly on the third innings . As a warm-up to the tour, we have the long-awaited match versus the SCR, weather permitting. At the time of writing, further building is underway in Norham Gardens with the refurbishment of 26 NSE. Not only will this improve the housing situation for graduates, but it also necessitates even livelier term cards. As always I can rely on the indefatigable Mrs Brown, and from Michaelmas I will be ably assisted by John Milloy as Steward along with Willem Adema as Secretary. Jo Rainbow

FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE ST EDMUND HALL ASSOCIATION THE ASSOCIATION, which now has a fully representative committee following some recent recruitment, has had another active year with full participation in a variety of college matters. A significant contribution has been made towards fund-raising, with several Aularians sitting on the new enlarged Endowments Committee and its sub-Committee, with nominated year-group representatives participating in the approaches to old members emanating from the Development Office. Relations with the SCR were further strengthened during the course of the year and perhaps the highlight was the attendance of over 20 Fellows at the London Dinner at Simpsons-in-the-Strand which was the 50th Anniversary of this annual social event. A record attendance of 142 enjoyed a memorable evening and heard Terry Jones, the well known writer and director of Monty Python fame, recall his days at the Hall. It is the intention to repeat the exercise at future London Reunion Dinners with Aularians of some distinction being invited to say a few words. More tangible contributions to college affairs included a substantial donation of ÂŁ1.500 towards the acquisition of a piano, and following the recommendation of the newly formed Grants and Allocations Sub-Committee the contribution of a similar sum was dedicated to the purchase of a laser printer for the JCR, with any balance going to the Graham Hamilton Fund. The Association was represented at both Canterbury and Westminster cathedrals at services commemorating the 750th anniversary of the death of Saint Edmund, and further work was conducted on the update of the Hall Directory due to be published in 1992. A new letterhead was adopted incorporating an authentic coat of arms, and location and inspection of the Hall barge took place. Furthermore, the diligent search continued for the names of the Hall tortoises that frequented White Hall in the 1930s. Finally, the summer Reunion at the College saw the presentation to Arthur Farrand Radley of a leather-bound version of 'Hall', signed by the Principal plus the current and past-Presidents of the Association in recognition of his 14 \12 years of dedicated service as Hon. Secretary. John Heggadon

THE CHAPEL 1990-91 NO CHAPEL YEAR can be predictable, each depends upon those who come to worship. This last year has been as full of interest and surprises as any other and those of us who have met Sunday by Sunday, and during the week, have been conscious of the many and different ways in which corporate worship has helped, guided and given us a common focus for our life in college. Without this opportunity to worship, talk, think and pray together our lives would be impoverished. Peter Lynan, the Organ Scholar, and the choir have been valiant leaders of praise in chapel services and the invaluable help of the Chapel Wardens, Luke Ferreter and Chris Sawyer have ensured that the organisation for Chapel flowed smoothly. Members of college worshipping on sunday evenings have maintained a remarkably consistent attendance over the terms and although there is a lot to be done to encourage others to join us we have a lot to be thankful for. One cause of thanksgiving was the Confirmation, in Hilary term, of Luke Ferreter and Clare Ashley-Smith. The Bishop of Stepney, Jim Thompson, who has since been appointed to take the place of George Carey at Bath and Wells,

confirmed, presided and preached. His deep sense of the importance of Christian commitment in a troubled world and his open good humour showed that faith, although serious, need not be dull. The regular flow of visiting preachers reflected the traditions of those who worship with us- Roman Catholic, the Reformed tradition, as well as the Church of England. From very different perspectives each shed a beam of light upon the central realities of the faith. In Trinity term the gift of a set of The Book of Common Prayer from Emeritus Fellow Dr Bruce Mitchell meant that we could say the 1662 Services without resort to typed sheets. Although the 1662 Evensong can seem to be a service remote from our world, familiarity with it uncovers a vibrant spiritual nerve which communicates across the centuries and opens another pathway to worship. In years past Christian leaders have spoken of the need to 'Defend the Faith', of giving reasoned argument for the rationality and importance of Christianity, personally and in society. Now Theologians are writing about the 'recovery of the faith' since in our generation despite apologetic appeal the cords of Christian belief have for many become threads and these are slowly untwining. Some writers, following the suggestions of the philosopher Alistair Maclntyre, point to the necessity of tradition to uphold any belief, whether in science, society and religion. At the physical centre of College the Chapel is a symbol of the continuing living tradition of Christian faith among us. Gerald Hegarty Chaplain 1991 SUMMER EVENT Trinity Term saw the College holding its contribution to the annual round of balls and mini-balls. This year we fitted into the latter category and the evening was billed as 'Not the Hall Ball' with tickets priced at ÂŁ15 a head. The uptake was impressive not only from within the Hall but across the University, Aularians using their contacts to spread the word to every college. The evening began at 8.00 p.m. and guests entered the Front Quad to be greeted by the interesting sight of a balloon pillar rising from the Well with four branches trailing from this centre feature to the corners of the Quad. The Old Dining Hall, throughout the night, saw a combination of college bands, the quality of which was impressively high. As usual the Wolfson was the main venue and we presented three bands, the first of which was our very own Glad (sometime Smitty's Chopper, sometime Paisley Nightmare) who surpassed themselves on their final appearance at the Hall. They were followed by south London's Flowered Up and then the groovy Gutter Brothers. Elsewhere the essential bouncy castle was this year glorified to a Disco Bounce-bouncing to dance music! The Karaoke also proved a popular attraction as did the hilarious hypnotist who managed to persuade a notorious hockey-playing first year to be amorous with a mop, much to the amusement of the assembled crowd. Thanks are due of course to the committee; Ben Miller the treasurer, Kate Samuel the secretary, Ben Palm er and Sarah Ferguson for promotion, Georgia Griffiths and Matt Oakman for the Entertainments, Ed Hobart for food and drink and Alison Cooley for the artwork and decor. All our hard work was more than repaid with compliments we received on the night and subsequently. Good luck to next year's bunch! The Event made a healthy profit as did the 1989 version. Next year it will be possible to hold a full Ball but in the light of increasing costs, the limited resources available at the Hall in terms of space and the success of both the 1989 SATURDAY OF FOURTH WEEK

and 1991 events it should seriously be questioned whether we can continue to compete with the Commemoration Balls. Perhaps the future lies in continuing with mini-balls which we have proved we are very adept at presenting. Jon Cotton BROCKHUES LODGE IN THE PRESENCE of a large throng of Fellows and guests, including officials of the St Edmund Hall Association, Brockhues Lodge, the College's new graduate building in Norham Gardens, was officially opened by the Chancellor of the University, Lord Jenkins of Hillhead, on Friday 23 November 1990. Dr Brockhues has given the building to the Hall in memory of his great friend and former Principal, A. B. Emden. Standing on the newly-laid lawn, the Principal welcomed everyone, including the architect Gilbert Howes and the quantity surveyors responsible for the new building. He pointed out that Dr Brockhues ' gift , since it was for graduate use, was of benefit to the University as well as to the College. It was appropriate and pleasing therefore that the Vice-Chancellor and Pro-Proctors, representing the University, should have been present. The Principal then thanked the Chancellor for coming and invited him to declare the building officially open. Before he did so, Lord Jenkins paid tribute to the Hall's building endeavours over the years and the skill with which new and old had been blended. The conversion of the library of St Peter-in-the-East was an outstanding example. Much credit was due to the work over some 20 years of Gilbert Howes, the College's architect. His challenge, here in Norham Gardens, had been to blend the new building with the distinctive architecture of North Oxford. The purpose behind the new building was not to increase numbers but to provide better accommodation for existing graduates. Finally, with Dr Brockhues standing beside him, the Chancellor reminded everyone of the benefits which the University had received from its benefactors over the years. He hoped that Brockhues Lodge would serve the College well for centuries to come. The building having been declared open, the visitors were then invited to inspect the accommodation and the nine graduates who had occupied their rooms in Brockhues Lodge from the start of term were present to welcome them. Back in College (two coaches had been lined up to transport everyone between Queen's Lane and Norham Gardens) there followed a reception and then lunch in the Wolfson Hall. At the conclusion of the lunch, Dr Brockhues expressed his thanks to the Chancellor and the Vice-Chancellor for attending, and paid his own tribute to the architect. Describing himself as a contented man, Dr Brockhues explained how the building arose from his friendship with A. B. Emden. He had first met A. B. E. some 25 years ago and, in conversation, had contradicted something he had said without knowing who he was. Dr Emden had responded by saying, 'You are as stubborn as I am; we can be friends'. And so it had been. Dr Brockhues concluded his speech with a reference to the College in general. 'I have a feeling of being at home here.' The events of a memorable day were concluded in the Senior Common Room when, after a dinner with the Fellows, Dr Brockhues was presented with a framed photograph of himself standing in the Old Library and wearing his robes as a member of the Chancellor's Court of Benefactors.

THE CHANCELLOR'S COURT of his generosity to Oxford University, Dr Frederick Brockhues has been appointed a member of the Chancellor's Court of Benefactors. This Court held its inaugural meeting on 1st October 1990 in the University's Convocation House and Dr Brockhues was there admitted to membership in company with twenty-six other founder members. The Court of Benefactors has been set up, partly to give public recognition to the University's benefactors, but also in order that Oxford might benefit from their experience and advice. The intention is that the Court will meet annually on the day before the Vice-Chancellor's Oration to Congregation and that it will constitute an advisory lay council of the University, particularly on matters relating to the Campaign for Oxford. Members of the Court wear speciallydesigned maroon (some say claret) gowns and caps trimmed with black lace. At the inaugural ceremony they each received a commemorative scroll from the Chancellor, Lord Jenkins of Hillhead, and signed the Benefactors' Book. IN RECOGNITION

THE HALL'S GARDENS was much enlivened by a tree-planting ceremony arising out of the gift of a mature gingko specimen from our Emeritus Fellow, Professor Peter Ganz. The Vice-Principal, freely acknowledging extensive gingko research by Mary Scargill, manipulated the verbal spade with elegance, and Fellows present drank the health of both donor and tree. The major effort (and agony) in forming and implementing plans this year has been concerned with the Front Quad borders. We hope that the Times roses, as well as providing a continuous display against the North Range for summer and autumn, will provide their own (thorny) protection, even in the vicinity of the Buttery. The shrubs planted on the shaded south side are still at an early stage of their development, but the project as a whole has received encouragement from several quarters, and details are appended for those with a horticultural interest. We are grateful for generous and very welcome gifts from our benefactor, Dr Frederick Brockhues, and from Mr John Andrewes. The site at Norham St Edmund has also demanded time at the drawing board. A new planting scheme of shrubs around Brockhues Lodge and behind Gunfield has lent some interest to the centre of the garden. Sadly, however, many of the trees on the boundaries are diseased or coming to the end of their natural lives and will need shortly to be felled. Aularians who would like to donate a tree or shrub are asked to contact me. The desire to teach has become a temporary obstacle in maintaining the gardens. David Jones, to whom many of the recent improvements of lawns and borders are due, has left us to study for a Certificate in Education, in anticipation of a lecturing career in a horticultural college. The new Gardener is David Manktelow. Peter Collins A BLEAK NOVEMBER SATURDAY

THE HALL BARGE: A LONG VOYAGE TO A SAFE HAVEN of detection and discovery, in which three people followed up their own ways of research, two of whom reached their haven, one of whom resigned from the voyage half-way. We tell the story as we discovered the pieces which, fitted together, form that story. In 1898 the Hall rented a barge from Messrs Salters Bros. as a headquarters for the Boat Club. A simple vessel compared with the more ostentatious creations

THIS IS A STORY

of the richer colleges, she was moored on the north bank of the Isis in Christ Church Meadows, and for forty years Hall rowing men changed and took cold showers there, and launched their boats from her raft. She was supervised through all those years by the Hall Boatman, Mr William Best, who, as we relinquished the barge in 1938, retired . His photograph hangs in our Boathouse. After 1938 there is a silence about her whereabouts or her fate, until the 1976 issue of the Magazine, which brought the story forward with some interesting details, but no one seems to have been intrigued enough to follow them up, or visit the owners, named as A . J . Wheeler and C. Rayner, who then, we were told, had the barge moored in Harts Boat Yard at Surbiton. Another intriguing snippet of information was that she had been converted into a houseboat after the Hall had deserted her and had made many moves up and down the river. Not until1990 did the President of the Boat Club conceive in an idle hour that it would be fun to follow up the clues in these printed sources, and search out more primary evidence. He contacted Harts Boat Yard who, though extremely pleasant and interested, could give no really definite information . The next possible sources were the A. J. Wheeler and C. Rayner of Surbiton mentioned in the 1976 Magazine. The Telephone Directory, sure enough, produced an A . J . Wheeler and a C. T. Rayner still dwelling in Surbiton, to both of whom a letter of enquiry was addressed. C. T. Rayner replied swiftly but slightly mystified and denied any knowledge, but the second shot in the dark found a bulls-eye. Mr A. J. Wheeler's answering letter was full of forward clues, incidentally explaining that C. Rayner could no longer be found, as, for many happy years, she had been Mrs A. J. Wheeler! The Wheelers bought the barge, then at her moorings in Harts Boatyard, in 1972 from a Dr and Mrs Lourie- of whom more later. Salters had already converted her into a houseboat and let her out for residential use in a slipway just downstream from Donnington Bridge, being inappropriately named, at this stationary stage in her career, 'Wanderlust'. The Wheelers did a great deal of topsides work . The aft end, which had been the Boat Club's washroom, was converted into a kitchen, bathroom and workshop. The forrard end, formerly the Club Room, became a lounge and a bedroom. The stairway to the upper deck and the flagpole still awaited restoration . Jim Wheeler had grander plans, to build a steel slipper hull which would have strengthened her under water. He found a fabricator for the hull, but couldn't find dry dock facilities where hull and barge could be married . With some despondency and other directions to follow , the Wheelers decided to sell their beloved water-home whose name had been changed by her previous owners to 'Ataraxia' a Greek word meaning literally 'Freedom from Anxiety', the standard Epicurean term for the ideal state of the soul. Jim Wheeler, importantly, had provided two important pieces of information , directing the President of the Boat Club backwards to the Louries, the previous owners, and forward to Geoffrey Hobbs to whom they had passed on their craft. At this point Arthur Farrand Radley, then Hon. Sec. of the St Edmund Hall Association, having read a hearsay report about the Hall barge in 'Oxford Today' (Trinity 1990) joined the hunt, announcing to the Executive Committee on January 8, 1991 that 'he was seeking information concerning the Hall Barge.' Reading this, the President of the Boat Club handed all his research papers over to Farrand Radley with the valedictory 'Herewith what I have gathered . You might have the time and energy to go on with it.' He certainly had! It is from Farrand Radley' s researches that the next piece of the story is shaped and fitted into place. John Lourie had bought the barge from Arthur Salter in October 1966 and lived on it until 1969 at Heyford Hill Lane, Littlemore, 'between the sewage works and the lunatic asylum'. He was a medical

undergraduate at Oxford and when he had finished his studies there , it was necessary to move the ' Ataraxia' to London, especially as the City Council had decreed that these moorings were 'non-residential'. No local footings being found, the 'Ataraxia', all fifty foot and twenty five tons of her, started on a hair-raising journey down the Thames, through 30 locks and under 49 bridges, a voyage which combines youthful adventure and Heath Robinson lunacy. An outboard motor at the stern provided forward propulsion, and a backward-mounted motor at the prow would, it was hoped, provide braking power. Steering was to say the least primitive and communication between engineer and captain contrived with the help of an old army field telephone. On August 29, 1969, in pouring rain, the 'Ataraxia' moved off, and after many adventures , moments of panic, near collisions, and lots of laughter, as she moved down the Thames to the wonderment of spectators along the banks, she reached safe moorings at Surbiton. Here, according to Mrs Lourie, 'The grand finale, requiring all our newly acquired skills, was to perform a pirouette in midstream, and to tie up facing the way we had come'. It was a more glorious achievement in view of the fact that a friend who had remained at Littlemore, faced with a hard-hearted City Council, set fire to his own beloved houseboat in a grand Wagnerian finale . Farrand Radley's next possible source, Geoffrey Hobbs, provides the next piece of the jig-saw. He bought the 'Ataraxia' from the Wheelers in 1976 and, finding an old lifebelt marked St Edmund Hall, re-christened the old girl 'Tedders' in 1978. In that year he decided to move her from Surbiton to Sonning, a voyage which proved more hazardous than the long trip from Oxford, for she collided with Chertsey Bridge, badly damaging the railings around her upper deck. Though scuba divers retrieved some, new railings were cast for her in a Surrey village, and so she remained, passing for a while into the ownership of Carol Forbes-Welch of Sonning in 1986 and, in 1988, to her present owners. But their name and active interest in our barge must await a while for - in another part of the forest- another sleuth is on the track.

The Hall Barge 1991 ?holograph: Richard Finch

Francis H . H. Finch (Matric. 1933) pursued a much more practical, pragmatic line of discovery. Alerted by a suggestion that our barge might be on the Thames at Weybridge, of which town he is himself a denizen, he did not resort to documentary research, but boldly contacted the River Police who offered to pilot him, like an explorer of old, in a fast patrol boat up the river where, in various reaches, it appears that other college barges, Magdalen, Hertford, Exeter, St John's, Jesus and Balliol, are moored . A helpful Inspector of the National Rivers Authority, having heard of a barge called 'Tedders' put Francis Finch, sensing a clear Aularian scent, on course for his final moment of triumph. There, at the Thames and Kennet Marina on Caversham Lakes, Reading, in company with his son Richard, another Aularian, he found her, and, for the first time since his rowing days fifty three years ago, stepped aboard. Almost at the same time one academic researcher, Farrand Radley, was closing in . Upon her then descended the other delighted member of the trio, all with clicking cameras and beating hearts. The present owners, Mr and Mrs Sheriff of the Marina, have spent lavishly on her restoration, and propose further work on the upper deck, the rebuilding of the staircase, and the replacement of the flagpole . Within she has been beautifully panelled and carpeted and curtained in Aularian claret and amber. Aularian visitors will be warmly welcomed, provided they give the Marina company notice. So the story of nearly over a hundred years of the Barge's history has been pieced together, the long and adventurous voyage from her cradle near Folly Bridge to the peaceful haven at Caversham, with the water of the Thames still, as always, lapping her sides.

ADDITIONAL LIGHT ON THE REVD JOHN HILL, BD., VICE-PRINCIPAL 1812-1851 THOUGH G. R. BALLEINE of Queen's, author of a long popular History of the Evangelical Party in the Church of England (1908), ensured survival of a summary phrase- 'the religion of Teddy Hall'- (unfortunately without recording its source) and the memory of Crouch and Wilson as the two previous vice-principals concerned, it was Dr A. B. Emden who underlined the importance of Hill, while he 'for thirty-nine years faithfully kept the lamp of Evangelical piety alight within the Hall' (Victoria History, University of Oxford (1954), p. 333.) As far back as 1925 Emden had accepted for the Hall library twenty-three volumes of Hill's diary, covering the years 1803-5, 1820-55, offered by the Revd A. Du B. Hill, grandson of their author (St Edmund Hall Magazine, vol. i, no. 6 (1925), pp. 11- 12). These form a valuable source of aularian as well as evangelical history, as is most recently shown by Dr Kelly's chapter An Evangelical Interlude in his St Edmund Hall (1989). Earlier the present writer made use of them in The Evangelicals at Oxford, published, as one of an Aularian Series, in 1953. Invited in 1990 to write an account of Hill for a volume of the Dictionary of National Biography covering omissions from the whole work, I found that further research was needed, which brought to light eighteen letters written by Hill to his brother-in-law George Warriner between 1814 and 1823. While he was still assistant tutor, in 1811, Hill married Sophia, daughter of George Warriner senior , a prosperous linen-draper of New Bond Street, who had acquired in 1797

Bloxham Grove, a north Oxfordshire farm in Bloxham parish, near Bodicote. The older Warriner suffered a serious breakdown in 1812, and during the following years, until his death in 1822, his affairs were administered for him by his elder son George. Perhaps as part of a marriage settlement, Sophia's husband received regular payments (usually ÂŁ50) from the farm account. (Arthur Young, the agriculturalist, noticed Bloxham Grove as a forward-looking enterprise). The majority of these letters- preserved among the Warriner Papers at Warwickshire County Record Office- are in effect receipts for money received; but they usually enlarge on domestic and even aularian matters. On deposit, they have been used by permission. While writing from 'St Edmund Hall', Hill in fact lived out, already apparently at this time (as far as it is possible to judge from the parish rate books) in a house in High Street, no. 65, which he certainly occupied later, and which still stands. His first letter, of 19th April1814, refers to national affairs . 'Peace is quite a new thing to us young folks; with a short exception there has been no such thing since I was five or six years old'. (He was born in 1786). His elder son John, now aged two, had been very unwell, in fact showing distressing signs of an undiagnosed illness from which he eventually died in 1827. (By the final letter of 1823 eight children, all baptised at St Peter's-in-the-East, now the Hall's undergraduate library, had been born). 'As usual' in term time, Hill was 'fully occupied morning, noon and night ... ' Hence a comment that there was not much leisure for letter-writing. He was after all sole tutor, responsible as well for discipline and welfare. Sophia Hill, in one of her few surviving letters, emphasizes this aspect of their lives in writing to her younger brother, the Revd Enoch Warriner, on 17th April 1815. ' He is at the Hall every day by seven o'clock and with the exception of one hour for breakfast he is incessantly occupied there from that time till three or Y2 after- you may well therefore imagine that he had plenty of work which must be done at home fully to take up his evenings.' This sounds like the familiar complaint of a don 's wife. By April 1817 domestic cash-in-hand was nil (a situation, related to Hill's function as Hall book-keeper, which, surprisingly, was to recur in later years), so ÂŁ10 was particularly welcome . Gifts (or payments) in kind were also gratefully received. A whole pig had been a useful and enjoyable replenishment of the family larder. From time to time the carrier brought a sack or two of potatoes. Mr William Wilson, a retired London silk merchant, uncle of Hill's predecessor at the Hall (the Revd Daniel Wilson), lived fairly near Bloxham Grove, at Over Worton, and there was clearly some social intercourse between the Warriners and the Wilsons. In August 1818 Hill notices the death of Daniel Wilson's little elder daughter. During that long vacation Hill wrote over a thousand pages of lectures , having read four or five times as many by way of preparation. In March 1820 he remarked on current electioneering. 'Oxford is all bustle ... We have however the advantage of having all our Members, with very few exceptions, in College, instead of lodging in the Town; and this lies at the bottom of our superior discipline.' (The anachronistic but interesting reference to members of an academic hall residing 'in College' affords a precedent for now more correct, if historically inappropriate, modern usage.) Living in Hall did not however prevent illness. 'I have had almost an infirmary this term in the Hall. [Here follows an extended account of the young men's maladies.] So that I do not think there has been a day in which the Doctor has not been in attendance on my bigger children.' While Hill's diary (which in 1820 he began afresh after some interval) reveals a serious, spiritually-minded evangelical clergyman of that period, his letters

show his human side. In November 1820 he wrote, 'I greatly miss the agreeable idleness of the Grove', for now it is 'Work-work-work- from morning to night'. The university sermon in Latin was preached by a former pupil, which made Hill (now 36) feel quite old. Attendance however at St Mary's was larger than usual, for it included two ladies and several poor men. By November 1821, with the birth of twins, there were seven young children in the Hill household. Following the death of Hill's father-in-law in 1822, the family were able to contemplate a holiday by the sea- possibly Bognor if sufficient cash became available. Sophia had inherited a third of Bloxham Grove, and was bought out by her elder brother. In 1823 the Hill family got as far as Weston-super-Mare, where they relaxed agreeably. Thereafter Hill's letters to George Warriner (with whom he was clearly on excellent terms) cease; perhaps they were no longer kept as receipts, or they have not survived for some other incidental reason, or the families drifted apart after the demise of old Mr Warriner, the provisions of whose will were a disappointment to his elder son. More than enough pages remain to cast a sidelight on Hill and a little on life at St Edmund Hall in his earlier days as vice-principal. Hill's diaries were largely written as a spiritual exercise of the kind recommended to zealous Christians at least since the seventeenth century. Sufficient letters- no other personal ones are known- survive to show his character in a more spontaneous fashion, and to add to a small extent to our understanding of his work at the Hall. John Reynolds A PONTIGNY PILGRIMAGE IT WAS A COOL JULY EVENING in 1938. Two second-year Aularians stood on the quayside at Dieppe, with the whole adventure before them. Neither had been out of England before, and they had crossed the Channel as foot-passengers. One had a small shoulder haversack, the other a small attache-case. At the sixth attempt, they succeeded in hiring a pedal-cycle each, at 35F (20p) a week; by five o'clock they were on the road South. In their baggage they had a letter from A. B. Emden, the Principal, which it was their aim to deliver at the Abbey at Pontigny. There, they hoped, they would encounter Saint Edmund of Abingdon himself. It would be superfluous to describe the journey- the bone-shaking pave in the towns, the inevitable punctures, the competition with the French automobiles, the eight superb cathedrals, the bonhomie of the natives (many of them with warm recollections of their British allies of twenty years before), the rainstorms, the double rainbow at Beauvais, the unfamiliar food, the hard slog uphill with no fancy gears to help ... On the third day they reached Senlis. Here Edmund, on his way to plead his cause at Rome after the unhappy disputes with the Canterbury monks and with his king, was met by Blanche ofÂˇ Castile, with her two sons. One of these was to become St Louis, and was to be present in 1247 when Edmund's body was enshrined above the high altar in the Abbey church at Pontigny. Our cyclists were at last in Edmund territory: they were on the Route de St Edme . Anticipation was further heightened when two days later they reached Sens. A heavy shower led them to seek the shelter of the cathedral, and in the treasury- amongst a vast collection of charters, manuscripts and a mass of saintly relics- they found displayed a mitre and vestments that belonged to St Edmund himself. Later that day, at 5.45 p.m., they dismounted at the Abbey gateway. This great Cistercian monastery, founded by one of St Bernard's companions

in 1114, had been abandoned by the monks after the Revolution. In 1842, however, a community called Les Peres de St Edme was established in the conventual buildings, and although their society had moved away in 1903 a small group of priests was still there in 1938. They lived in the house flanking the gateway on the South side, the Abbey buildings themselves having been used by Paul Desjardins from 1936 as a centre for international conferences. Our pair handed in their letter, and while waiting for an answer reflected that Edmund had -like Thomas a Becket and Stephen Langton before him- occupied a house beside the Abbey gates. The great procession that accompanied his body in 1240 from Soisy had also passed this way as it approached its final resting-place . Fr Couture, the Superieur, appeared with the warmest of surprised welcomes and together with Fr Berall gladly agreed to show them the Abbey church. None who has not seen Pontigny can imagine the entrancing effect of this great Cistercian monument. Begun in 1150, it has what Newbolt called an 'austere beauty, colossal in its grandeur'. Purists nowadays apologise for the baroque decoration of its magnificent organ-case, screen and panelling in the choir. True, they are of a different age and style from the rest; but the impression of the whole is unmistakable. The vast colonnaded aisles command silence, the apsidal chapels and altars each tell a different story; the loftiness of the roof has a suggestion of heaven . Eventually the guides reached the high altar. Behind this, there was a double curved stairway which led to the back of the elaborate reliquary chest elevated above the altar by guilded statues of angels. Each of the several doors was unlocked. Within could now be seen the body of St Edmund, resplendent in his archiepiscopal vestments. His face, which lay to the North, was visible and in repose; the skin was complete and of a reddish-brown hue. The visitors were spellbound. Before them was the Oxford scholar who had erected a Lady chapel in St Peter-in-the-East and whose name had been adopted by the Hall at which they themselves were students. He had preached in this very Abbey church, and in his lodgings here he had written his only book, the 'Speculum Ecclesiae'. The experience of Pontigny in those remote days was to have a profound effect on these two men throughout their lives. Each kept in touch with the other over fifty-five years, until one of them- Bob Rylands- died last January. He had been a sufferer from severe arthritis for a number of years and could not travel, but his companion sent him a postcard message from Pontigny every time he revisited France. Nowadays the Abbey buildings are a centre for the training of physically handicapped young people in technical skills, and the priests have gone. The church is in the care of the State, and is beautifully kept. The stairway to the reliquary has been removed, and so one cannot any longer view St Edmund; but his arm, which was removed so as to provide an object for pilgrimage at a time when Cistercian rules forbade strangers from entering the monastic churches, is to be seen in the 'accueil' room. Many Aularians must have made the journey to Pontigny since 1938. But few can have experienced such a lasting effect on their minds and hearts as the pair of whom this brief record tells. Victor Peskett A GLORIOUS FOURTH YES, I ADMIT IT. The culmination of three years at Oxford, at the Hall, was a fourth in E. Lit. Many years later I mentioned to the Principal, A . B. Emden,

how much I regretted that I had not put more into my academic work. 'Rubbish', was his blunt reply, 'You had as good an Oxford career as anyone'. Considerably cheered by this remark, I sat down to think over my time at Oxford and my varied and adventurous life since. I remembered tutorials together with Val Rogers and Alan Jenkins (How much I have enjoyed his book, 'Hall') and how often C. T. Wren, our Anglo Saxon tutor, would say to me 'Well, Mr Sciortino, have we done a little work this ' week, or have we been busy on the river?' and how often I would blithely reply ' We have been rather busy on the river, Sir.' This , of course, was nonsense, for Val was quite as busy on the river as I, yet I believe he clocked up a first. For both of us a high point of our Oxford years is marked by that little chart on page 61 of 'Hall', 'Seven bumps in six days', when the Hall moved up into the first division for the first time since King Alfred burnt the cakes. Incidentally I believe I was the first Aularian to get a Trial Cap and a Leander scarf, a huge success it seemed to me at the time, but nothing to the honours gained by Paul Burrough and the other giants who won their blues and took the Hall to the Head of the River in subsequent years. There were other interests of an extra-curricular nature beside the river. I was amused by Gordon Shield's remarks about the Buchmanites; could one of those meals he mentions have been at my expense, I wonder? At that time I, too, believed that the Oxford Group, later Moral Re-Armament, would become a real force in the world. More than fifty years later I am convinced that I was not mistaken. This is why I write these notes, and hope they may be published. Because a work is unseen and unsung one should not assume that it is without force or influence. MRA is at work today on all five continents, with well-documented influence in France, Morocco, Tunisia, many African lands, as well as Germany, Scandinavia, India, Australia and Japan. A book, 'Japan's Decisive Decade', published by Grosvenor Books and written by Basil Entwistle who took a First in PPE in those years, documents the contribution of MRA to laying the foundations of a democratic constitution for that country. My own contribution to this work, unseen and unsung, has been many years working in Italy, also in Brazil and Nigeria and the last twenty years in Malta. To tell all is not possible here, for the work of Moral Re-Armament has always been an individual and personal work: a leftist docker here who discovers that 'Malta needs everyone' even the other political party and a conservative there who wakes up to the fact that it is worth listening to the other side . These and other such changes, small and personal, have influence in ever wider concentric circles . Very early in the growth of the Moral Re-Armament world work, right after a mass demonstration in the Hollywood Bowl attended by thirty thousand, when all seemed poised for a successful mass movement of Billy Graham proportions, Buchman decided that, if his work was to be effective, it had to go deeper. The result was a three month training session, or retreat, in a group of holiday cottages and shacks beside Lake Tahoe in the Sierra Nevada mountains, for several hundred people. This concentration on personal work and individual change resulted in a world-wide expansion, the emphasis always being on the four absolute standards of honesty, purity, love and unselfishness and the power of silence and inner listening, which no doubt Gordon Shield and all our contemporaries will remember. A visible fruit has been that every year since the war there has been an International Assembly in Caux, high above Lake Geneva , attended by several

thousand from all over the world. Year after year have come representatives of many of the third world countries, most of the Western world and, clandestinely, Russians and others from behind the so-called iron curtain. Now that the Berlin Wall has come down and the iron curtain been blown away, the real problems of democracy and freedom, of a free market lacking a moral infra-structure have surfaced, and the demands for the work of Moral ReArmament have exploded. The facilities of the Caux Conference centre were stretched to capacity and beyond last year; the demand for places this year has trebled, much of the increase coming from Eastern Europe, suddenly faced with the moral and ideological vacuum left by the collapse of Communism. Until health intervened two years ago, my wife and I had the privilege of attending every one of these annual conferences. Early on after my demob I saw that languages were indispensable for the work of reconstruction after the war. In spite of my lack of application at Oxford I was able to learn quickly and became fairly fluent as an interpreter in Italian and could hold my own in acrossthe-table discussions in French and German. No longer am I ashamed of my glorious fourth. Paul Burrough quotes the Abe, 'You did not come up to Oxford just to pass exams'. I did not come up to Oxford just to win races. Oxford gave me the Oxford Group, Moral and Spiritual Re-Armament, a new and happier family life and a chance to take part in an on-going programme which is still making significant contributions worldwide. More important still, Oxford gave me, through this experience an abiding sense of God's hand in history today. For a better understanding of what MRA has been doing in the past half century I recommend Garth Lean 'Frank Buchman, A Life', published by Constable in 1985. A. N. Wilson wrote 'Buchman ... was fundamentally right about human nature, right about the world ... This is the view which I take, having read Garth Lean's extremely well-documented and fair-minded account of Frank Buchman's life'. Ian Sciortino CHILE REVISITED I wrote an account of my childhood in North Chile where my father worked in the Nitrate Industry. The BBC decided to make a documentary of it for Radio 4, so in September 1990, the producer and I set out for the nitrate port of Iquique. Nitrate was discovered in the North Chilean desert in the 1870s. It proved a wonderful fertiliser and large numbers of British moved in quickly to build the railway and the mining camps (oficinas). Soon there was an English Club, a Masonic Lodge, a Sporting and Yacht Club, an English book shop and printing press and a British hospital. Fortunes were made and lquique was awash with money, but the boom ended in disaster when the Germans produced a synthetic alternative and the Chilean monopoly came to an end. Oficinas closed and from 1925 onwards the British started to leave. In 1931 the collapse was complete and my father was ruined. Today the harbour of Iquique has only a few small fishing boats in place of the dozen or more large steamers or sailing ships waiting for cargoes of nitrate. The English Clubs have long since vanished, the oficinas are closed and the glory of nitrate is a distant memory. The oficinas that remain lie abandoned, rusting shanty towns like the derelict film sets of a Hollywood Western. In Iquique only a handful of elderly Anglo-Chileans remain. We interviewed

SOME YEARS AGO

one lady in her nineties whose recollections were marvellously vivid. She remembered my parents well. To enter her home was to step back into the 1920s, with her mannerisms, furniture and life style. On the walls hung portraits of Edward VII and George V, formerly in the English Club, and large prints depicting heroic episodes from English History: the death of Nelson, Waterloo and the Charge of the Light Brigade. An elderly maid hovered discreetly around, Âˇ serving a generous, old-fashioned English tea. I was agreeably surprised to find how much remained, especially of our old home. Built of Oregon pine, brought down as ballast by U.S. ships, it was a single storey building (safer in earthquakes), with a huge corrugated-iron canopy to keep off the brutal heat of the sun. The house was not waterproof but as it seldom rained, nobody worried too much. I first learnt the word 'waterproof' when I came to England. The beach at Iquique was a child's idea of Paradise: sand, sea, rocks, the everlasting sunshine and the companionship of friends. We spent days splashing around in the water or larking about on the beach. It was an age of innocence with no premonitions of disaster. On the roads no cars menaced life and limb and we could walk to the beach in absolute safety. To-day the Plaza Italia, another favourite playground, has vanished, overwhelmed by a motorway . The Andes come down so close to the sea that lquique airport is 25 miles away, the nearest place wide enough to accommodate modern aircraft. As we drove up the steep mountain road to the Pampa, a long plateau with miles and miles of dusty brown in varying shades, I was reminded of my first vision of England when I was staggered by the miraculous greenery of the landscape. Now the situation went into reverse and I was struck by the harsh and unrelenting brown of the desert. Water and dust are constant problems. Put your hand on a rail and it is covered with dirt. An inadequate flow of water used to be pumped down to Iquique by a couple of boozy Irishmen from the oasis of Pica. Today the Chilean government has invested in abundant provision of water piped from the distant snow-capped peaks in the south. Dust still blows around in lquique, but the streets are covered in tarmac and the inhabitants are encouraged to plant grass seed which can now be grown with the increased water supply. With the collapse of nitrate, the people moved away in their thousands. In the desert there was nothing else to do. To wander round an oficina today is an uncanny experience. As the climate is so dry, nothing decays . The buildings, carts, railway trucks, telegraph poles and machinery remains as they did the day the workers left. Skeletons of trees and withered shrubs show the ruins of British gardens, once lovingly watered and tended. Where once there was clamour, life and movement, the silence is absolute, except for the occasional rattle of corrugated iron in the wind. We visited Pisagua, once a flourishing nitrate port. Today only 150 people remain, earning a bare subsistence by fishing. The clock tower, perched proudly on a hillock in what was mid-town, has different times on each of its four faces . The church where my parents were married in January 1913 lies abandoned, as does the priest's house next door. But the most dramatic surprise was the theatre. To come across a theatre in good condition in the middle of a desert is an extraordinary experience. Built in 1892, it has an impressive facade with five large, round-topped doors, capped with a balcony running the full width of the front. Inside, a beautifully-painted canvas covered the ceiling. The stalls, the surrounding private boxes and the gallery were in perfect condition. The orchestra pit and proscenium arch remained and, glued on the walls back stage, were faded programmes of companies, long since departed. Famous actors and opera singers performed here in the heyday of nitrate. 24

I appeared on Chilean television and related the episodes of my distant childhood. The producer and I also flew to Antofagasta to interview one of the best of my childhood friends, Alex Murray, whom I had not seen since 1924 . When we met at the airport, I was struck by how much he resembled Lawrence Olivier. We were with him for five hours, recording our conversation, drinking pisco sours, (the local liqueur) , and enjoying an excellent lunch prepared by his Chilean wife. It was a deeply moving occasion. We laughed and joked about our golden childhood in the days before the crash . At the airport we fell silent. There is a strong, mysterious spell which binds all Anglo-Chileans together. It was one of the saddest farewells of my lifetime. Jack Scarr A RIDER TO 'ST PETER-IN-THE-EAST MEMORIALS' AMONG THE MEMORIALS mentioned in my article in the Hall Magazine last year was the one to Godscalcus Hosatus, and I am greatly indebted to Dr Trevor Saxby (m. 1972) for giving me some interesting information about this nobleman . Dr Saxby draws attention to a misreading of the Iatin, and I quote from his letter: ' "Godscalcus" (or "Goscalcus") is the latinised German christian name Gottschalk , quite common in the 17th century. "Ab" or "a", corresponds to the German von. A look at the photograph shows that "Hosatus" is in reality Holsatus, meaning from Schleswig-Holstein in Northern Germany, latinised as Holsatia. Which leaves "Aiefeld" as the surname, one of several spellings of the German name Ahlefeldt.' Following on from this, Dr Saxby's researches led to the identification of Gottschalk von Ahlefeldt, and I quote from Dr Saxby's second letter to me on this subject: 'Our Gottschalk [i.e. the one buried in St Peter-in-the-East] is almost certainly the elder of two sons of Colonel Jiirgen von Ahlefeldt, who studied at Rostock and Tiibingen, controlled the territories of Quarnbek and Marutendorf in Holstein, and who defended the fortress of Krempe against Wallenstein's troops in the Thirty Years War. According to the definitive genealogy in Danmarks Adels Aarbog 1982-1984, the said Jiirgen had two sons, born in 1613 and 1614, who by 1629 were at the Danish "Ritterakademie" in Soro [the Soro Akademie still flourishes as a prestigious private school], but whose names and fates were hitherto unknown. Now, given that it was customary among the nobility at that time to name sons after the paternal grandfather (and Jiirgen's father was a Gottschalk, or Gosche, as it was locally known), we can safely assume that the monument in St Peter's commemorates Gottschalk von Ahlefeldt, born 1613, elder son of Jiirgen. At the time of his death he would have been 22, corroborating the in aetatis flare of the inscription.' Dr Sax by writes that we have done the archivist of the Landesarchiv SchleswigHolstein a service by identifying a previously unknown member of the family von Ahlefeldt, but the credit for this is entirely due to Trevor Saxby, my part is incidental, simply occasioned by a great interest in all things appertaining to St Peter-in-the-East.

PHILIP GEODES MEMORIAL PRIZE completing my Journalism diploma exams, in June 1990, I set out for three months in the South Pacific to investigate race relations. With the aid of a hire car I spent the first six weeks driving round New Zealand, starting off in the racial cooking pot of Auckland. Tension between Maori and recent Polynesian immigrants from Tonga and Samoa has reached fever pitch in some areas with gang fights. I visited Otahuhu High School where the racial mix of students includes Maoris, Tongans, Fijian, Indians and pakehas (or whites). I interviewed the principal about his approach to racial issues, and several other city spokesmen, including the editor of the New Zealand Indian newspaper. Driving round the two islands that make up the country I became aware of the diversity of landscape, as well as population. Maori farmers own much of Northland; but there is also a strong Yugoslav community descended from the nineteenth century miners who came to dig kauri tree gum. Meanwhile Punjabi dairy farmers have been established in the plain of Waikato, around Hamilton since the turn of the century. Among my discoveries was the largest Sikh gurdwara outside India! On the South Island, apart from fine winter ski-ing and whale-watching, I found strong Dutch and French communities around Christchurch; and in the southern city of Dunedin, the youth hostel was managed by a fine Scotsman called Campbell, who showed me that the city was Edinburgh by day and Glasgow by night! Australia was rather a shock after New Zealand's comparative racial harmony. Aborigines were not to be seen in the smart parts of most big cities, and out in the central desert town of Alice Springs they were either ignored or viewed as a quaint sight by the hordes of white tourists. I spent the deep winter months of August and early September trying to cover as much of the vast country as possible. In Sydney I interviewed Dr Roberta Sykes, the first Aboriginal woman to gain a Harvard doctorate, ·and a prominent member of the civil rights movement in the seventies. She, like Freda Glynn (chair of the aboriginal-run Imparja Television station) catalogued the on-going struggle for equality by the ten thousand or so Aboriginal (or Koori) people. In the face of mass tourism since the Bicentennial in 1988 Aboriginal art and craftmanship have become big business, run usually by whites. At the same time, investigations continue into a catalogue of black deaths in police custody . Official reports of the Royal Commission investigation make grim reading. A great deal of information about abuse of Aborigines was given to me by Tony Hewitt , a young reporter on the Sydney Morning Herald, who used to be

STRA IG HT AFTER

the paper's Aboriginal affairs correspondent, and has every sign of becoming the next John Pilger. The racial mix I found in New Zealand was even more varied in Australia. In Melbourne, the southern European population is so great that street signs are in Greek, as well as English. In Sydney every cafe and taxi seem to be run most efficiently by Koreans and Lebanese, and in the northern city of Cairns, every second shop is Japanese-owned . The so-called Japanese invasion is the major point of racial hostility at the moment, but the age-old problem underlies it. As one Aborigine told me: 'Whenever any new immigrant comes in, they get harrassment, but they all look down on us. The aborigine is always at the very bottom of the pile.' Though my travels were peppered with some disquieting revelations, I deeply enjoyed three months discovering so much about two nations on the other side of the world. I found both Aussies, but especially Kiwis warm and friendly people. I returned with much useful journalistic material for articles and longer work, and an experience I shall never forget. The one memory that sticks out most is of being approached in the Dunedin youth hostel by a white Kiwi who thought I was a Maori: 'Thank goodness you're here,' she told me with a sigh of relief. 'Otherwise this hostel's just packed out with bloody Poms.' I would like to thank Mrs Nora Geddes, and all the trustees and judges of the Prize Fund for enabling me to make my trip .

HELP FOR THE APPOINTMENTS COMMITTEE was founded in 1892. Centenary celebrations are being planned , which include seminars on the past and future of the Service and an appeal for funds to enlarge the Service's present premises at 56 Banbury Road. A history of the Committee's work is also being written, in collaboration with the Editors of the History of the University. Although the minute books and annual reports are all complete and will be a useful source, personal

THE APPOINTMENTS COMMITTEE

remm1scences of the Committee's work would greatly improve the value and interest of any history that is written. This is therefore an appeal to any Oxford graduate who had contact with the Committee to write to tell us about it. We are particularly short of material before 1970, and, even more so, before 1947. We are interested to hear from graduates who were satisfied with the Committee's services and also from those who were not. We would like to hear as well from anyone who recruited as an employer through the Service. Âˇ Particular aspects on which we would like comment are: What What What What What

happened? What was the procedure? fields of work were covered? did the office look like? impressions were made by members of the staff? was the outcome of the contact made?

Comment of any sort would be useful, however brief, but we need the material soon to make use of it in the history. Please write to: Tom Snow, Director, The Careers Service (the current name for the Appointments Committee), 56 Ban bury Road, Oxford OX2 6PA. STUDENT ADMISSIONS NEW BROOMS reputedly sweep clean - but what if the floor is already highly polished? You slip over, and that is my experience of taking over from your editor the office of Tutor for Admissions. There sits Carol, master-minding the operation in her confident and efficient way ... only she has a record of my blundering! Some of you may, however, wonder about admissions policy; it has been good to welcome to Open Days a number of Aularians professionally involved as sixth form teachers, and to reassure them. But rumours do abound, and the independent schools in particular seem to lack confidence in our evenhandedness. Head teachers seek clarification- do we discriminate, and secondly, what do we think about 'gap years'? So here, for teachers and parents alike, or indeed anyone who is interested in admission to St Edmund Hall, is my official reply.

This College has no policy pertaining to the background of candidates for admissions. We welcome applications from all, and our choice is made on academic ability, as evidenced by examination results, school references and written work, and academic potential, as assessed by our tutors. I have never heard any tutor claim otherwise. On the topic of a 'gap' year, there is equally no College policy. Individual tutors do have preferences and make no secret of them; my personal view is that a candidate may reasonably wish to keep his options open but, at interview time, be prepared to commit himself one way or the other. Clearly he/she should be prepared to be questioned about plans for the year. But how about flesh on these bones; after all 'who does admit?'- individual tutors. Do they discriminate? Of course, but on their individual assessment of academic potential and that alone. A few numbers may interest you, culled from the admissions exercise last year:

Total applicants (Male and Female) 360 = 226 + 134 Total admissions (Male and Female) 126 = 85 + 41 Success rate from independent schools 29% 36o/o Success rate from maintained schools Figures are, of course, accumulated at a much more detailed level, but they are subject to wide variation year by year and so we do not release them . If any Aularian wants to know more, or to make observations, please do get in touch with me. C. E. Phelps THE GAUDY THE GAUDY held on 29 September 1990 followed the now established pattern of Evensong, dinner in the Wolfson Hall, and breakfast the following morning for those who were sufficiently awake. Old Members attending had mostly matriculated in the years 1956 to 1961 and everyone received a colourful information pack with a delightful picture of the front quad on the cover. The pack included a short history of the Hall written by John Cowdrey and a letter from the Principal explaining the College's need of endowment income and how this might be achieved. In his speech of welcome after dinner, the Principal spoke of the distinction between a Gaudy and a Reunion and went on to describe the twentieth-century transformation from Hall to College and the risks that this had involved. New buildings had been completed, the most recent being the Brockhues Lodge building in Norham Gardens, but the same atmosphere prevailed and St Edmund Hall had not lost that reputation for friendliness which Old Members remembered with nostalgia from their own student days. The need now was to build up the College's endowment in order to secure its future at a time of change in how education is funded. If this can be done, the Hall will not only survive, but will continue to flourish. Replying briefly, the President of the St Edmund Hall Association, John Heggadon, thanked the Principal and Fellows for the Gaudy and urged those present to take to heart what was set out in the information pack. Finally, everyone was asked to note the special nature of this year's London Dinner and to book in good time. There were present: the Principal, the President of the St Edmund Hall Association, 25 Fellows (including Honorary and Emeritus Fellows), the Chaplain, the Librarian, the Junior Dean, the Lecturer in Music, the Development Officer, and the following Old Members: B.

annual reunion of Old Members held on 22 June 1991 had matriculated in the years up to and including 1975. The dinner was preceded by Evensong in a Chapel that was so full that chairs had to be brought in, and earlier in the day there had been an exhibition of books and other publications by Aularians in the Library. This was organized by the Librarian, Deborah Eaton. In his speech after dinner, the Principal first referred to the death two days earlier of Honorary Fellow, Sir Isaac Wolfson, through whose generosity we had our dining hall. He then paid tribute to the long service as Secretary to the St Edmund Hall Association of Arthur Farrand Radley . News of the awards made to a number of Fellows- George Ramsay, John Newsom-Davis and Jack McManners - was warmly received . The Hall Rugby team had not had an outstanding season but there were notable successes recorded in Women's Hockey, Cross-Country, Athletics and Rugby League VU-a-side . The John Oldham Society was active again, a reminder to some present of the days when the Hall was known as the green room of Oxford, and St Edmund Hall had again participated in Oxford Artweek, the exhibition in the Emden Room attracting over 400 visitors. The Principal then went on to speak about the latest stage reached by the Appeal, describing also the events associated with the opening of Brockhues Lodge. The President, John Heggadon, replying to the toast of Floreat Aula, presented a summary of the activities of the Association. These included efforts to establish closer links with the SCR, work on the Directory now nearly complete , donation of a laser printer to the JCR, location of the Hall barge, and plans for future reunions and garden parties. Finally, and to sustained applause, the presentation of a leather-bound copy of 'Hall' was made to Farrand Radley, who responded in inimitable style. There were present: the Principal, the Vice-Principal, the President of the St Edmund Hall Association (Mr J. M . Heggadon), the Chaplain, the Development Officer (Mr C. H. Mattingly), the following Fellows (including Honorary and Emeritus Fellows): Prof G. R. Alien, R. E. Alton, G. Bourne-Taylor, Dr R. Fargher, J. Hackney, Rev Prof J . McManners, Rev E . G.

' ST EDMUND HALL ASSOCIATION MINUTES OF THE 60TH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATION-S JANUARY 1991 THE 60TH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATION was held in the Smoking Room of Simpson's-in-the-Strand, 100 Strand, London WC2R OEW on Tuesday 8 January 1991 at 6.15 p.m., J. M. Heggadon presiding. 44 members were present. I. MINUTES The minutes of the last, 59th, meeting held on 9 January 1990, having been

published in the Magazine and copies being available, were confirmed and signed by the President. There were no matters arising. 2. PRESIDENT'S REPORT

J. M. Heggadon reported on the Association's input to the current fundraising and on how money had been spent on the Magazine, the Directory and several other projects to benefit the Hall. He looked forward to networking and the proposed Job Register and the imminent issue of the headed notepaper. The President said that there was every indication that the 50th dinner, about to start, would be a memorable occasion and paid tribute to the work of F. H. H. Finch, the Hon Dinner Sec.

3. PRINCIPAL ' S REPORT J. C. B. Gosling reported on his trips to the USA where he had found great encouragement and support. The campaign was really beginning to take off. 25 had attended the East Coast dinner and he had also had dinner and a working breakfast with the New York group . Initially, the US effort might be associated with JCR improvements . The Principal described the opening of Brockhues Lodge by the Chancellor as a happy occasion. The lunch afterwards for 80 included the Chancellor, the Vice-Chancellor, Dr Brockhues, the Proctors and representatives of the Association. The Principal congratulated Dr Brockhues on his election to the Chancellor's Court of Benefactors. 4 . HON S ECRETARY ' S REPORT

The President, before asking H. A. F. Radley for his final report as Hon Secretary , paid tribute to his outstanding contribution over 14 Y2 years, the second longest in the history of the Association. As well as being a most excellent and stylish Hon Sec, H. A. F. Radley had been meticulous in recording Hall events; the President hoped he would continue these activities and remain on the Executive Committee. In reply H . A . F. Radley said he had little to say; he had enjoyed his period of office and wished the Association well. These remarks were followed by spontaneous applause.

HON TREASURER'S REPORT

J. R. Paul presented the audited accounts which had been published in the

1989 - 90 Magazine . These were adopted.

ELECTIONS

A hubbub had by now begun at the back of the Smoking Room due, no doubt, to the excitement caused by the impending festivities and the President had to call for order on five separate occasions.

There being no further business authorised to be transacted the President closed the Meeting at 6.45 p.m. Paul R. Lewis Hon Sec ARTHUR FARRAND RADLEY-HONORARY SECRETARY 1976-91 NOW THAT Arthur Farrand Radley has retired after 14 Y2 years as Honorary Secretary, the Association did not feel it could let the occasion pass without expressing its appreciation and gratitude to him in the Magazine. Farrand ha~ already received tributes and spontaneous ovations at the Annual General Meeting in London in January and at the subsequent Dinner and a leather bound copy of 'Hall' at the June reunion signed by all living Principals and Presidents of the Association. Farrand took over from John French when John was posted overseas in 1976 during the Presidency of Sir Denis Wright. Before that Farrand had already served on the Executive Committee for five years as a representative of the Matriculation Decade 1935-44. Farrand has helped and advised seven Presidents and three Principals and given unstintingly of his time to care for the affairs of the Association. Although active and, indeed, well known in many fields unconnected with the Hall, Farrand has always given our interests the highest priority, ever on hand to represent the Association and support the College. 35

He has made our records a particular concern and his copious photographs of important occasions are already invaluable. It was Farrand's indefatigable devotion to unearthing our past that established the proper chronology of the reunions and dinners and paved the way for the celebration of the Diamond Jubilee of the Association after the Golden Jubilee had unfortunately been overlooked. The Association has been extremely fortunate in finding in Arthur Farrand Radley a Hall man of his ability willing to serve where and when he was required . At the express wish of the Committee and the President, Farrand has agreed to continue to act as Association Archivist and is remaining on the Committee having been re-elected to the 1935- 44 decade.

THE LONDON DINNER THE 50TH LONDON DINNER of the St Edmund Hall Association was held at Simpson's-in-the-Strand on Tuesday, 8 January 1991. The event was a sell-out , with a record attendance of 142; over 60 applications had unfortunately to be refused. On this momentous occasion the President of the Association, Mr John Heggadon, was faced with the pleasant task of greeting individually many members of a distinguished company. He started quite properly with the Association's guests, the Principal and Mrs Gosling, Lord Wylie, Mr Terry Jones and Ms Madeleine Pill, the new President of the S.E.H. J .C.R. He then referred to Dr John Kelly, who unfortunately had not felt up to making the long night journey from Oxford, but had nonetheless sent his usual warm message to all those attending the Dinner. John Heggadon next turned to the Fellows, of whom no fewer than twenty-one were present, many of the current members of the Senior Common Room for the first time. Four Honorary Fellows, Sir Robin Day, the Revd Professor J. McManners, Sir Denis Wright and Lord Wylie, together with three Emeritus Fellows, Mr Reggie Alton, Dr Bruce Mitchell and Dr Joe Todd, and a former Fellow, Mr Robert Venables, Q .C ., were among the number. Apologies were received from Dr Ian Scargill, whom the President congratulated on his appointment as Vice-Principal, and the Revd Graham Midg1ey, an Emeritus Fellow and former President of the Association, who was snowbound in his northern fastness without a car. The Association wished particularly to congratulate another former President, Sir William Nie1d, on his election as an Honorary Fellow; sadly he was not well enough to be with us. Finally, the President felt it only right to welcome the many other distinguished

Aularians, among them Mr Robert Jackson, M.P., Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Employment. Three American Aularians, George Barner and Paul and Paula Skokowski , had come over specially to attend the Dinner. To mark the event a menu card had been produced bearing a picture designed by Mr Stephen Farthing, Ruskin Master of Drawing and a Fellow of the Hall, who was a guest at the Dinner. On behalf of the Association the President · thanked him warmly for his colourful contribution to the occasion. The President referred to the achievements of the Association over the years. Since 1925 it had helped fund specific projects to the tune of £65,000 and been closely involved in all the Appeals made on behalf of the College. Its present responsibilities included bearing 500Jo of the cost of producing the Magazine. It had given £1500 to purchase a piano for the College, £1000 towards the portrait cleaning programme, while 'Hall', the memoirs of S.E.H. graduates 1920- 1980, and the video of John Kelly's 80th birthday celebrations had aroused great interest and were still on sale. A new Directory would be published in 1992 under the auspices of the Association. It was then the Principal's turn to speak. He confirmed that the College was in good heart and playing an increasingly important role in University affairs. He would, however, defer the task of giving a detailed account of the last year's activities until the summer Reunion. He mentioned the opening by the Chancellor in November 1990 of Brockhues Lodge as a residence for postgraduates. It had been the product of yet another munificent donation by Dr Frederick Brockhues, who had recently been elected to the Chancellor's Court of Benefactors. The Principal added that if any Aularian present at the Dinner cared to open his cheque-book he would be only too happy to send a personal letter of thanks. After thanking the Principal the President introduced his special guest, Mr Terry Jones, film director and writer and a member of the Monty Python team. He listed some of the films for which Terry Jones had been responsible, among them 'Life of Brian' and 'Eric the Viking'. His books included 'Nicobobinus', 'Curse of the Vampire Socks' and other tales for children. In reply Terry Jones reminisced about his days at the Hall and fondly greeted Dr Bruce Mitchell, source of Python legend. John Heggadon ended by referring to the retirement of the Association's Hon. Secretary, Arthur Farrand Radley. Farrand, he said, had been a pillar of the Association for fourteen and a half years and carried out all his duties with distinction. The President then invited him to address the assembly , and in a sparkling self-tribute Farrand Radley reminded those present that he had been in office longer than the former Prime Minister but that, unlike her, he had never been chailenged. He was now happy, as Hon. Secretary Emeritus, to hand over to a worthy successor , Paul Lewis . On this note the President brought the proceedings to a close, as it was time once more to descend to the nether regions to enjoy the delights of the newlydecorated Smoking Room Bar. In addition to the Association's guests the following Aularians attended the Dinner: 1925 R. S. Orchard ; 1929 Sir Denis Wright (Hon Fellow); 1930 Sir Claude Hayes; 1931 Rev R. J. Vaughan; 1932 D.

For the second year in a row, showing much less sign of jet lag than the year before, the Principal crossed the Atlantic to attend the New York Dinner. This

annual appearance could become yet another Hall custom, even if the Principal sometimes appoints an emissary in his stead. We hope so, anyway. The organisers for the 1990 Dinner, choosing a special theme for the evening, honoured Alien Walker Read (1928), an etymologist of quite extraordinary accomplishment. To give the best-known example of his linguistic endeavours, Read is the man credited with tracking down the definitive origin of the word 'O.K.'- the most successful word in the American language; successful, that is, in the sense that it has spread to almost every other language in the world, including, of course , English. (For details on 'O.K.' read the Sept. 4, 1989, issue of The New Yorker magazine .) Responding to a deservedly warm appraisal by the Principal, who evinced his own fine appreciation for language, Read recalled his happy, enlightening days at the Hall after growing up in the rural western state of Iowa at the time of prohibition- a contrast the Aularians in attendance readily appreciated. The Principal was in his element, wondering whether 'the rebel yell' was a linguistic problem, and who won 'the war of the dictionaries in the middle west'. He was not, it was clear, trapped by the 'delusion of a shared language' that is called English on both sides of the Atlantic . Bill Miller, who arranged the Dinner with his usual understated efficiency, carefully noted that it was intended as a purely social occasion. Nobody quibbled with that idea, and it was indeed a typically spirited gathering . Kenneth Luke, by the way, travelled to New York all the way from Arizona . The matter of fund-raising was reserved for the following day, November lOth . At a breakfast meeting held at the United Nations Plaza Hotel, the Principal was brought up-to-date with the plans of American Aularians to raise $400,000 for the new Junior Common Room. Bill Sotirovich, who is spearheading the JCR fundraising project , mailed an appeal letter to all Aularians living in the United States, approximately 275 in number. Bill is keen to keep our mailing list up-to-date, so newly-arriving Aularians are encouraged to contact him at (212) 750-9076 or (212) 254-5085. The 1991 Dinner will be held at the Sky Club on Friday, November 8th. Floreat Aula! Alex McCallum WILLIAM R. MILLER BILL MILLER (1952) is one of those rare Englishmen who found his way to the top ranks of American industry. After twenty-six years in the pharmaceutical industry, he retired on January 1, 1991, as Vice Chairman of the Board and a Director of BristolMyers Squibb Company, New York, one of the leading healthcare corporations in the world . Aularians in America know Bill best from his generosity in organizing the annual New York Dinners which are held at one of his clubs, the Sky Club, in Manhattan's Pan Am Building. Since he prefers to keep his corporate life to one side, few are aware of his business achievements. These were summarised in a farewell memorandum to the company's staff by Richard Gelb, Chairman of Bristol-M yers Squibb. He said, in part: 'Bill has played a vital leadership role in the pharmaceutical

industry .. . during a time of unusual challenge and change for our industry.' Those of us privileged to have met Bill for lunch in the executive dining suite of Bristol-Myers Squibb will be hard pressed to find a better, or more economic, alternative. We wish him and his wife, lrene, all the best- but insist he continues to organize the New York Dinner! Alex McCallum DE FORTUNIS AULARIUM D. W.

SIR ISAAC WOLFSON Honorary Fellow of the Hall from 1961, died on 20 June 1991 aged 93 in Israel, lengthy obituaries appearing in the press at that time. Through the Magazine we acknowledge the great debt which the College owes to his philanthropy.

SIR ISAAC WOLFSON,

PROFESSOR HAROLD BROOKS of Professor Harold Brooks, Honorary Fellow of the Hall, on 23 July 1990, was reported in the last edition of the Magazine. On Thursday 25 October 1990 a short service of readings and prayers was held in the College Chapel, attended by Mr A. G. B. Scott, executor of Professor Brooks' will. After the service, Harold Brooks' ashes were scattered, according to his wishes, in the churchyard of St Peter-in-the-East. A Book of Remembrance has since been given to the College by the Brooks family. THE DEATH

COLIN DA VISON MEMORIAL APPEAL of Colin Davison (1955-58) will have been sad to learn of his death in 1989. They may like to contribute to a memorial fund which has been set up as part of Ripon College Cuddesdon's Appeal. Colin trained for ordination at this College and the hope is that a meeting room or lecture hall will be named after him . Cheques should be made out to Ripon College Cuddesdon, Colin Davison Memorial Appeal, and sent to Canon Roger Hooker, (30 Little Moor Hill, Smethwick, Warley, B67 7BG), who can also supply covenant forms and more information about the Appeal.

THE THEME of this year had been one of foundation. Much has been achieved both on and off the water which will hopefully lead to bigger and better things in the coming years. If the enthusiasm and dedication shown this year throughout the Club continues, then it will simply be a matter of time before the benefits become manifest. The popularity of rowing with Freshers continued this year with five men's and three women's novice crews entered for Christ Church Regatta, each crew being coached by two members. Several crews triumphed in two or more rounds, vindicating the time and effort of novices and coaches alike. The keenness of the novices was proven in the trials for Torpids where there was great competition for each of the three men's crews. From these, the top two crews, although not as experienced as those of former years, were set to form a good basis for Summer Eights, and trained with this in mind. The freezing of the Isis and Godstow stretch in February hindered all college crews' preparation, not least of whom Oriel and Wadham who were penalised for their ignorance of a ban and, rather harshly, technically bumped down four places. The men's firsts, unaffected by the new starting order, rowed below their potential on the first two days, failing to catch an unexceptional Magdalen crew and thus falling prey to an LMH blades crew on Friday. Fortune rallied on the Hall's side however, and on day four Hertford obligingly went into the bank, allowing the Hall to maintain its position at the foot of the first division. The other two crews both managed to improve their position on the river. Torpids was followed by a successful Captains' reunion and christening of the new lst boat, the 'Donald Richards', named after the coach of the lst Hall crew to go 'Head', in 1959. It is hoped that a formal 'Old Rowers' association, such as many other college Clubs have, can be established as a result of this gathering, and I would be glad to hear from anyone keen to help generate interest. No sooner was Torpids over than training for Eights began. Following an immensely productive week's training on the Tideway before term, work was consolidated on the Isis until academic matters intervened and the crew lost its stroke, a former Captain. Martin Wailer took on the post and was backed up by an extremely dedicated crew comprising Sean Cochrane, Simon Henderson, Mark Fox, Steve Whittington, Andy Laws, Mark Lauder, Brendan Harnett and cox Sarah Davison. Wins at Birmingham in Novice VIIIs and !Vs showed the progress and determination of the re-arranged crew. In the event, the crew showed itself quicker than many of the other top crews, 'though not quick enough to gain more than a half-length on New . Pembroke, as in Torpids, gained blades, knocking the Hall boat down one place in the process to a creditable seventh on the river. Untold thanks are once again due

to coach Hugh Thomas, without whose dedication and encouragement the Hall boat would have risked lesser evils than Pembroke, and additionally to Helena Stoward for all her help. Other Hall crews fared well on the whole, the fifth Eight gaining blades thanks to the enormous time commitment of self-styled Hall coach Mark Lauder, under whose guidance the 2nds undeservedly fell to three very strong crews. I wish Mark every success as he succeeds me as Captain, and rest assured that the tremendous dedication of Club members at present will ultimately lead to great things. S.P.W.

THE LADIES BOAT CLUB

Captain: ANNA HAMBLETON A PROMISING START to the year was given by three enthusiastic novice crews, whose keenness led to some competition for the early morning hours due to the one crew per college rule. Two coaching duos, myself with Vice Captain Alex Musson, and ex-captains Helen Ixer and Delia Hunter took care of two of the crews whilst Mark Lewis coached the third crew consisting mainly of second years. Seventh Week brought the Christ Church Regatta and some spirited racing. The second years stormed ahead of their opponents in the second round but tragically steered an illegal course leading to disqualification. Another of the crews suffered a broken rudder string which frustrated their chances. Despite lack of success we showed that in this case taking part was the important thing and had a lot of fun. After such valiant efforts, Torpids term loomed ahead with bitter weather in store. The first VIII enjoyed the freedom of rowing at Godstow and trained well, boosted by return from a year abroad of ex-blues squad rower, Delia Hunter, who stroked the boat. James Hulse, also a returning linguist, coached us between his own outings with the men's firsts, his reputation going before him as coach of the women's blades crew in Torpids, 1989. After some freezing morningswith solid ice on blades and riggers - the crew began to come together well. A week before the races with the river closed we were forced into land-training, the future of Torpids in the hands of the weather. Luckily the thaw arrived in time and rowing-on went ahead. The Second VIII revealed their form by rowing on in a good time and went on to maintain their position through the four days going both down and up one place. For the firsts, a technical bump against a crashed Somerville 11 on the first day was a gift. Our confidence soared as we had been holding our own and we were able to relax and row our best during the following days' races. Another bump, this time against St John's meant we ended the week two places above where we started, the highest position ever attained by the Teddy Hall women in Torpids. We were sorry to lose three members of the crew as Trinity term began. Delia faced her finals and Ruth Quintan and Tina Coast faced too many commitments to keep up the demanding training schedule of rowing. The rest of the crew, Lee Eburne, Alex Musson, Fiona Macdonald, Melissa Holden and myself were joined by second VIII rowers Kate Samuel, Sue Shackleton and Anna Trigell, the only first year in the crew. Training was more of a pleasure in the summer weather though the sun didn't come out as much as we had hoped! James and Mark, both finalists, shared the burden of coaching us and we made great technical advances, finally getting fast catches and the elusive back-splash. Eights

week arrived, unfortunately lacking the second VIII who missed the qualifying rowing-on time by less than five seconds. The first VIII began with trepidation, needing to row over at the top of the third division before chasing another crew. More luck arrived as the crew behind us crashed in the warm-up and withdrew, leaving four lengths between us and the crew in third place. We rowed over and then chased Worcester one and a half hours later. Unfortunately they got away. On day two we were bumped by Trinity who went on to get blades, and on day three we rowed over in second place, only a canvas down on Worcester outside the Boathouse. Saturday brought two bumps for us against Corpus Christi and St Hughs II to bring us up into the second division. It was a great pleasure to end the year on such a high note. It only remains for me to thank the people who made the year run smoothly. Chris Morgan maintained the boats well even after some collisions with ice during Torpids, and the women gained a set of blades to go with the second boat thanks to Arthur Andersen & Co who generously financed the purchase. My most sincere thanks go to all those who coached and rowed this year without whom it would not have been possible . I leave the captaincy in the capable hands of Melissa Holden and wish her the best of luck in the coming year. A.H.

THE SYNDICATE ROWING CLUB

President: J. M. WILLIAMS Captain: A. P. MICHAELIS Secretary/ Treasurer: A. C. GREENHAM 1991 SAW THE SYNDICATE, now in its sixth year, continuing to provide superb notquite-family entertainment both on and off the Isis. We had several University squad members, and indeed one Blue, in the boat this year. Regrettably, none of them were in the rowing squad. The practice of recruiting a complete novice, preferably as unathletic as possible, in a desperate attempt to make the more senior members of the crew look good, was continued with great success. Indeed, Jonny Cotton was an obvious choice for no. 3, because his renowned coxing talent ruled him out of the running for the position of Syndicate Cox on the grounds that skill is merely a legitimate form of cheating, and therefore ungentlemanly, not to mention un-British. Undaunted by a lack of any serious rowing pedigree, the Syndicate embarked on a rigorous training programme of visiting various pubs and generally having a good time. Team dancing practices were interdispersed with the odd paddle down the river, on which occasions the wealth of rowing advice and trainers ' cliches provided by the invaluable Steven Asplin and the indispensable Ian Grant proved a great source of amusement for the crew. Rowing on proved to be a tactical disaster. Our time was not merely sufficient to qualify for Eights, but also unhelpfully fast, catapulting us to the dizzy heights of the SEH IV position- possible Schools Eight territory. Conscious of the distinct absence of spectators on Wednesday and Thursday, and therefore anybody in front of whom to show off, we generously allowed Magdalen IV and Pembroke IV to bump us, with of course an appropriate display of resistance to emphasise that we are never impressed by a Beefeater shirt unless our coach is wearing it. However, the scene was set for a gargantuan battle on Friday by the presence of a somewhat larger crowd, and the appearance behind us of a crew epitomising the sworn enemy of the Syndicate- the serious rower with a sense

of humour deficiency- St Hugh's Second VIII. Reliably informed of this crew's tendency to 'die at the gut', and after several seconds of intense discussion and consultation, the following tactical plan emerged: Row as quickly as possible. (2) Do not die at the gut.

(I)

Unfortunately, by the time the whole crew had got the hang of the first part, Hugh's had gained a length on us. Having held them off until we had rowed through the gut, it became plain that the second part of the plan was also too ambitious. At this point Jonathan Tabinor, the cox, came into his own, and, whilst informing us loudly and repeatedly that they were useless whereas we were brilliant, he weaved an astonishing and devious course across to the far bank, thereby avoiding Hugh's somewhat presumptuous bow. Thus inspired, we pulled away and rowed over the rest of the course. Surprisingly, but happily, an ambulance was not required for any of the crew, who proceeded instead to a medicinal Pimms at the Boathouse. Saturday saw the Syndicate prepared with an enormous public address system, a bar-b-q and the largest and most satisfying sausages on the river bank. The sheer size of the expectant throng clearly made a bump essential, and, sure enough, Oriel Sixth VIII proved too small to escape us . Infused with the heady vigour of success (and gin and tonic), it was time to display the natural coordination and inherent rhythm of the crew by our celebrated formation dancing . The crowd were not disappointed, and the intricate choreography of M .C. Hammer's 'You can't touch this' proved even more popular than the old favourites 'Staying Alive' and 'Stop in the name of love'. The audience had swollen to unprecedented proportions by the time of the third performance, due in no small measure to the arrival of the St Hilda's First VIII. At this point the crew did the decent thing and proceeded to throw each other and random bystanders into the river lest any of us be taken too seriously. The annual Syndicate Dinner was the occasion of the welcome return of several old members, whose competitive challenges to the present crew became more and more far-fetched as the evening wore on. Fortunately for all concerned, poor weather and a mysterious outbreak of illness the following morning precluded any such activities. During the course of the brilliant after dinner speeches given by the President and the Secretary, the Captain presented Dan Beard and Mike Lemon with large crustaceans in recognition of their immense contributions to the sport of rowing. Finally, the 1992 Executive Committee was announced . Mike Lemon , who is unquestionably the tallest of the eligible candidates, is the new President. Ben Pearson becomes Captain, and Tom Leman takes over the onerous burden of Secretary / Treasurer. In recognition of the growing importance of satisfying the demands of the Eight's Week crowd for quality entertainment, and noting the inability of most crews to provide this, Jonny Cotton was appointed to the new Executive Office of Choreographer. On behalf of the (shy and) retiring Executive Committee I wish them all the best for next year. A.C .G.

THE RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB

Captains: lAMES PETERK!N (Cuppers) TOM LEMA N (League) Secretary: ANDREW P!CKFORD THE 1990/ 91 SEASON was not an epic in terms of success, but one which proved, finally, the great commitment and spirit of the Hall. The League campaign did not start well, a 10-10 draw with Merton / Mansfield. The lack of a pitch to train and play on hampered the team's search for victory. With the return to the Parks came our first win. The scent of victory was a sweet smell and the team gorged themselves, beating Keble 35-0. The climax, as last year, came on Tuesday of Eighth Week, our opponents the unbeaten Christ Church. Their confidence was as great as our determination and the game was a classic. With the aid of our vociferous support the Hall beat the House 20-15. The final League game proved something to build on for the Cuppers campaign. Training started in Noughth Week, with splendid commitment from all Hall rugby players. Exeter were brushed aside in the first round, setting up a meeting with St Anne's. The large contingent of Blues were given their closest game of their Cuppers success. A far smaller Hall team came so close to victory, the final score 23-16. The Second XV matched the commitment and spirit with success. Brilliantly led by Ben Pearson, they proved unbeatable, winning both the League and Cuppers, with a final points tally of 348 for and 15 against. The Cuppers team boasted no Blues this year. However Luke lones deserves a special mention for getting so close, playing in the Major Stanleys game . The Hall had two Greyhounds: Luke lones and Richard Sennitt, and three U2ls : Luke lones, Alex Boag and lames Peterkin. The Hall First VII, led by lason Tuckley, beat St Hugh's to become only the second ever Rugby League Cuppers winners. Happily the Hiiarians effortlessly continued their unbeaten run. Many thanks to everybody who turned out for training , especially the coaches, lames Peterkin and Stephen Sporran, and all those who played for the Hall. Best wishes to Mike Ball and Edward Hobart who take over as League Captain and Secretary respectively. Finally all the players owe so much to the support they receive; long may it last. T . R.L.

THE ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL CLUB

Captain: H. C. ADLINGTON

Secretary: S. R. 0WEN

ANOTHER thrilling season for Teddy Hall's three football teams saw the SEH Football Club emerge as one of the strongest sporting clubs in the College (eclipsing even the Rugby Club perhaps?) . The First XI, after beginning the season with crushing victories over Lincoln and Wadham, found themselves narrowly avoiding relegation from the First Division. 'The Drop' was avoided by a tremendous 6-2 defeat of last year's champions, St Peter's, in the last game of the season, a game which saw the Teddy Hall linesmen apply the offside rule with their usual panache. Due largely to injuries, the team's indifferent League performance was largely compensated for by a fine run in Cuppers, losing in the end to Christ Church in the semi-final. The skill and flair of Blue, Danny Westgate, combined with the distribution of Mark lohnston and the prolific finishing of next year's Captain, Kevin Knibbs,

provided some of the individual highlights of the year. Special mention should also be made of Pete Matthew's inspirational goal-keeping and Kenny Stirrat's tenacity and commitment in midfield. The Second XI enjoyed another triumphant season, becoming champions of the Division, and reaching the quarter-finals of Cuppers. Owing much to the enigmatic leadership of Kev Johnson and the dynamism of veteran Duncan Holden, the team's strength in depth more often than not carried the day. Duncan Armstrong in midfield and Ben Walker in attack were outstanding performers throughout the season. Led by the mercurial Rob de Rennes, the Third XI provided the forum once again for both entertainment and the nurturing of young talent. Though too many to mention by name, the heroes of the Thirds were, as always, the bedrock of the Club. In Trinity Term we entered two teams in the Five-a-Side Cuppers competition and were only defeated in an emotion-charged final by a physical Jesus side, 5-2. We also entertained two touring sides, St Clare's Cambridge and Jesus Cambridge, in a four-cornered tournament with Wadham. Not a great deal of football was played but many new friendships were forged in the time-honoured manner. Finally, though Teddy Hall often walked through a storm, we never walked alone. I would like to thank everyone who supported us in all of our matches and wish the teams every success for next season. Remember, football is not an analogy for life; life is an analogy for football. Good luck, Kevin. H.C.A . THE CRICKET CLUB

Captains: D. C. SANDIFORD (Cuppers) D. A. HALLIWELL Secretary: I. J. MURPHY THE SEASON began in optimistic expectancy, the friendly college games showing the depth of the talented squad. Nearly forty players turned out for the First and Second XIs, the latter ending the season unbeaten. Victories in Cuppers against Brasenose, Wolfson (marked by a magnificent 118 from skipper Dave Sandiford) and Hertford, gave the First team its first semi-final for several years. Our bowlers had put the St Hugh's batsmen in desperate trouble when rain and an over-protective groundsman interfered to force the game to be replayed. The second ended in the rain in a confusion of reduced overs, run rates, run-outs and bitter disappointment for the Hall. Positive things to come from the season included the batting of Tom Leman (Secretary of the Authentics), Derek Ormerod and Luke Jones, bowling from Matt Oakman, Dave Gauke and Dave Halliwell, and all-round performances by Sam Surrey (next year's Captain) and Rob Salter. At the time of writing Dave Sandiford looks set for a Blue as wicket-keeper; Alex Cookson has already played in the Women's Varsity team and six men have played for the Authentics . Next year's team is virtually unchanged and needs only a few freshers to make it an even better prospect to win Cuppers. D.A.H. THE LADIES CRICKET CLUB

Captain: ALEX COOKSON DESPITE initial enthusiasm from many would-be cricketers of the Hall, the weather this term did much to ruin the classic 'sun tan enhancing ' recruitment

tactics . After a valiant performance, we were unlucky to lose our first Cuppers match against the holders, Christ Church, by a mere 20 runs. Our next match, against Exeter, proved the depth of talent in College. Batting first, we scored 210, then dismissing our opponents for 44 runs . Unfortunately the weather then took its toll, with our remaining four matches being cancelled. Special mention must go to Elaine Noone and Vicky Griffiths-Fisher who, along with our veteran all-rounder J o Rainbow, showed true flair in their ability to demolish any type of bowling (not to mention the teas). Alex Cookson was selected to represent the University in this year's Varsity Match. A.M.S.C.

THE HOCKEY CLUB

Captains: M. A. CHANDLER

Secretary: I. J. MURPHY

THE HALL received a good influx of new players this year and the season began with two very encouraging victories -over Worcester in the first round of Cuppers, and 4-0 against St Peter's in the second. However, in a frustrating quarter-final vs Exeter on the new North Oxford astroturf pitch the team failed to perform as in the earlier matches, and were defeated 2-1. Following promotion last season to the League first division the team had a number of good successes with the two centre-Âˇforwards Mark Jordan and Richard Koe always creating goal-scoring opportunities, and for a while had the potential to come top overall. A spate of bad weather mid-term, however, stopped matches for about two weeks and, much to our disappointment, the competition was abandoned, just before we beat our main rivals St Peters! A very strong women's team, which went on to win the women's Cuppers competition, was combined with the men's team in the mixed Cuppers side and, despite a string of excellent performances an unlucky loss to Hertford meant we failed to go forward to the second, knock-out round. Next season, the standard of Hall hockey should remain high . Matt Oakman takes over as captain with Dan !son as secretary, though we lose last year's captain Jan Milligan, whose commitment over his three years has been much appreciated. Congratulations must go to Ben Palmer for representing the University second team in the Varsity Match, to Rob Salter for gaining his Blue in his first year and to Dave Neal for playing in the Blues for his second consecutive year. M.A.C.

THE LADIES HOCKEY CLUB

Captains: MELISSA HOLDEN

Secretary: SUZIE MASSEY

AS PREDICTED by last year's Captain, the women's First XI eventually won the Cuppers competition after several years of disappointments in the final stages. The high standard of the existing team was boosted by an influx of enthusiastic and skilful freshers which led to an undefeated arrival into the quarter-finals. An easy victory over New College took us to the semi-finals to meet Pembroke which was a slightly more trying match. The final against Exeter proved to be an incredibly tense match due to a very strong fight from our opponents. The determination and spirit of our team showed on the pitch, however , with Hall

dominating the play. The late appearance of a goal in the first half by Blue, Alex Cookson, made it an exciting match for supporters. Victory was secured by Jo Rainbow (Blue) and Karen Howard with a final score of 3-1. Bad weather unfortunately halted the progression of the League matches where we finished in third place. I would like to thank Suzie for her help in organising the matches, the whole team for being so reliable and the men's team who provided umpires and support throughout the season. M.H.

THE ATHLETICS CLUB

Captain: MARCUS BROWNING FOR THE THIRD successive year the Hall were victorious in both the heats and the final of Cuppers. The final winning margin was emphatic in spite of a tough challenge from Keble in the earlier stages. As in previous years the victory was based on a great all-round team performance and a big vote of thanks must go to all who turned out. Special mention, however, must go to Kenny Stirrat who almost single-handedly cleared up in the middle distances, and to Marcus Browning and Derek Ormerod who did a similar job in the sprints, jumps and throws. A number of Hall athletes competed at University level. Stewart Martin was elected Captain of the University Cros>-Country Club, and the newly-arrived Chris Todd President of the University Athletics Club. Competitors in the Varsity Match were Stirrat in the steeplechase, Browning in the sprints, long jump and javelin, and Todd in the 800 metres. Dave Stewart, Dan Brockington and Derek Ormerod competed in the Second team match . Stirrat and Browning were awarded Fuil Blues. A final word of thanks goes to all those who represented the Hall. With a good number of our team still here next year, a fourth successive victory seems assured. M.B.

THE CROSS-COUNTRY CLUB

Captains: STEW ART MARTIN, RONAN BREEN FOR THE THIRD YEAR running the Hall won Cuppers and this time more convincingly than in the past. With the emphasis placed by the Captain Stewie Martin on the retention of this title the college managed to muster 35 runners in the six mile event in the woods to the south of Oxford. With a total field of almost 300, Kenny Stirrat was the first Hall man in, second behind fellow Blue Kieran Kirk from Wolfson. In third was Stewie Martin, and the five scoring members were completed by Sean Cochrane, Tony Rossiter and the new OUAC president Chris Todd from the University of Cape Town experiencing for the first time English Cross-Country at its best (or worst!). With a proposed trip to the Selwyn Relays in Cambridge cancelled because of snow we had to defend our reputation as hosts in the annual Teddy Hall Relays. Now an international event with teams from Paris and Barcelona Universities competing, the Relays have expanded once again and the standard is now beyond that of any single college . Although we failed to win the college race our athletes

can be consoled by the fact that they were defeated by a very strong Wolfson squad. Nevertheless, we still vanquished a number of university teams . On a University level, Kenny Stirrat won his third Blue in the centenary Varsity Match in December, and Stewie Martin has been elected Captain of the Blues for the next season. Kenny will be sorely missed next year, both for his undoubted ability and for his coarse Halifax wit, but hopefully the Hall machine will roll on. R.B. THE SWIMMING CLUB

Captain: DA YID DO RAN THERE wAS quite a large interest in swimming Cuppers this year, especially from freshers. Even so the team was still on the thin side, but I managed to recruit several 'willing' volunteers with the prospect of a Cuppers supper, notably Jennifer Gault. who only learnt to dive in, two days before the event. Unfortunately we didn't win, but managed a very respectable eighth place. We even had some cheering supporters and this was much appreciated. Congratulations go to everybody who swam, especially Christine Braban, who showed extraordinary willingness and swam in a huge number of races. People who reached the finals were: Christine Bra ban- backstroke, Natalie Hughbutterfly, and David Doran- butterfly and breaststroke (winning the latter , a repeat of last year's success) . Deserving also a mention was John Methven 's thrashing paddleboat-style backstroke . He used an enormous amount of energy but, alas, still came last. Everyone showed good humour and competed with an excellent sporting attitude . Thanks to you all. D.D . THE SQUASH CLUB

Captain: AKT AR SO MAL YA THE COMMITMENT and enthusiasm of this year's squash team was justly rewarded at the end of the first half of the season with promotion to Division Two. Adam Farber and Jason Wilkins enjoyed enormous success as our two top players with close to one hundred per cent records, whilst Andy Fogarty and Duncan Holden brought the Hall success in the lower orders after many hard fought matches. Having lost only one match in Michaelmas, our opponents in Hilary provided the team with much stiffer competition, but with dedicated play from our two newcomers, Sam Surrey and Kynan Massey, and continued hard work from the rest of the team, we managed to retain our Second Division place and finished the season in fourth position. Cuppers, however, brought only limited success and although we advanced convincingly past St Hugh's and New College to the quarter-finals, we suffered defeat at the hands of the eventual champions, Brasenose. The second team under Rob Barber, and then Richard Koe, emulated the first team and were promoted to the Fourth Division in Michaelmas Term with an exceptional one hundred per cent record. They too retained their place in the higher division and ended the season with a respectable mid-table position . With the majority of first team players being available for the next season and the widespread popularity that the sport enjoys at all levels in the Hall (there are plans to have a women's team representing the College too), our new Captain, Sam Surrey, should have a strong base from which to progress next season . A.S.

THE TENNIS CLUB

Captain: MARTIN RYNJA AN OUTSTANDING number of talented players showed up at the start of Trinity Term: Matthew Lim (fantastic style), Xavier Lebault (all round and a vicious lob), Richard Koe (hardhitter with a killer instinct), Kiron Clifton (impossible shots and a cheeky grin). Furthermore, they proved to do well in doubles in whatever combination. The team was topped up by Peter Hocknell and James Linforth whose solid play collected vital game points. Somewhat unfortunately the first match was played against the Ecole d' Administration de Paris (honorary members of the University for tennis purposes) who boasted too many experienced players. However, the matches against St Hugh's and Pembroke went particularly well for us. Due to some reason (probably not related to the Hall Event) our reprise match of last year against Keble, set on their undulating lawns and played with rapidly deflating balls, was narrowly lost. All over a good term which, as most players are first years and Matthew will have recovered from his injury, promises well for next year when Richard Koe will tidy up loose ends as Captain. My special thanks to Jon Hafetz for subbing and to Hamish McCallum who resigned earlier as eo-Captain due to finals, for valuable help. M.R. THE LADIES TENNIS CLUB

Captain: TINA COAST FOR THE FIRST TIME, women's tennis involved both League and Cuppers this year. The team consisted generally of second years, namely Georgia Griffiths, Catrina Holme, Jo Howat and Natalie Hugh, with Smilynne Schuster a valuable addition from the first year. Caroline Brown, who represented the Penguins and is also first year, was able to play for the Hall in Cuppers matches. Whilst not matching last year's success of reaching Cuppers finals, the Hall women made it to the semis. Here we were beaten by a strong team from Worcester, having beaten Exeter and Christ Church on the way. In League matches we gained two victories against St Catherine's and Magdalen, losing to Balliol and Lady Margaret Hall. Due to unfortunate circumstances, we had to concede our final league match against St Hilda's, the eventual winners of both League and Cuppers. It was disappointing that the organisers of both League and Cuppers would not allow us to enter a second team, for which there was great enthusiasm from all years. Hopefully, this situation will be rectified next year, thus allowing greater numbers of women to play tennis for the College. T .C. THE NETBALL CLUB

Captain: ANTONIA WELLS THE ST EDMUND HALL Netball Club has doubled in size this year due to the great enthusiasm of the first years. The 'A' team maintained a good position in the Second Division whilst the newly formed 'B' team established themselves solidly in the Fourth Division. In the Cuppers tournament the 'A' team did themselves

proud, narrowly m1ssmg entry into the semi-finals. Despite the disgusting weather conditions and unearthly hour, everyone turned up and played very well. A spirited effort. I would particularly like to thank Dave Williams for his loyalty to the team over the past year and to wish Jo Corry every success in her captaincy next year. A.W .

THE TABLE TENNIS CLUB

Captain:

ROBERT MCBAIN

DESPITE a disappointing League season, finishing only fourth in Division Three out of nine teams and missing promotion, the team achieved an excellent run in the Cup competition . We were fortunate enough to be given a bye into the second round where Keble were the opposition. With the assistance of University Captain Eddie Lam and also due to fine battling performances from T-A Liu and McBain, the team swept through 5-1 . In the quarter-finals an unchanged side met Oriel and our challenge appeared to be reaching an end when we trailed 4-1 . However we staged an amazing revival to squeeze through 5-4 into the semifinals. Unfortunately here we found eventual winners Wadham too strong and went out of the competition 5-2. I would also like to congratulate Paul Drummond and Matthew Powe who produced some good performances in the League matches. R.M.

THE BALLROOM DANCING CLUB

Captain:

KA TE SAMUEL

TEDDY HALL 'S reputation

for flair and enthusiasm on the ballroom dancing floor remains intact this year. The main event was the Cuppers competition this summer. In sheer numbers the Hall beat everyone hands down, fielding 3 !/z teams from the JCR, MCR and SCR. Many people were complete beginners but after a lot of reassurance that they could do it, they settled down with determination to learn the cha-cha, jive, waltz or quickstep from scratch. Our practices with Bruce Richardson helped tremendously but there were also many impromptu sessions in the Party Room to the amusement of many of the scouts and anyone else walking past. This determination paid off; our 'C ' team came sixth and our 'B' team twelfth, beating many 'A' teams. Several pairs made it through to the semi-finals . In our 'A' team we had Dave Stewart and Sarah Davison who both danced for the University team that so narrowly lost to Cambridge this year. Dave and Jill Grinberg came first in the jive; Sarah and Mike Chandler came second in the cha-cha, and Mark Fox and Kate Samuel came second in the quickstep. Unfortunately, despite this enthusiasm, our 'A' team were pipped at the post, beaten into third place by Keble and Merton. Nevertheless, everyone had a very enjoyable evening and our cries of 'Hall' were louder than anyone else's . My thanks to the Principal who, as Senior Member of the OUBDC came to watch us and joined in not only the waltzing but also an enthusiastic Saturday Night Fever, and to Dr Phelps for providing us with funds from Amalgamated Clubs to make sure that Teddy Hall ballroom dancers are back with a vengeance next year. K.S .

THE JOHN OLDHAM SOCIETY

President: NEIL BISW AS THE SOCIETY has been rejuvenated this year by the influx of dramatic talent from the first year. A large number of them have shown interest in all aspects of drama and have been involved in two major productions. The first was Stephen Poliakoff's 'Shout Across the River' . This was staged in the Old Dining Hall in Sixth Week of Hilary Term. The play is a realistic study of a fraught relationship between a mother and her daughter in 1970s London. The period in which it is set is a major element of the dramatic tension, and the characters' lives are affected as much by the hardships it imposes upon them as by each other. The play was directed by Neil Biswas and produced by Miriam Czech. The two lead roles were taken by Kirstine Clarke and Ann Gray. All are members of the Hall. Trinity Term saw a double production in the Old Dining Hall. The first was an original play, written and directed by Johanne Kastenburg (Magdalen), called 'Don't Step in my Shadow '. The second production was Peter Ustinov's 'Romanoff and Juliet ' , directed by Aaron Simpson and produced by Lydia Harrison, both of whom are first year geographers at the Hall. 'Don't Step in my Shadow' is a modernist play that explores the borders between dramatic reality and reality as a concept in life. Peter Ustinov's 'Romanoff and Juliet' depicts satirically a self-governed state whose support is sought by both Russian and American governments. Simpson ' s production managed to blend the comic and the serious elements with subtlety, and the cast , which consisted wholly of SEH first years, were both exuberant and talented. The Society also backed John Hafetz's original play, 'Family Snapshot', which was put on in Eighth Week of Trinity Term in the Lindsey Rooms, Balliol. The play explores the changes and tensions that affect a single family over a period of twenty-five years . The year has thus seen a wide variety of productions of different genres. Most important has been the re-establishment of the Old Dining Hall as a successful venue for John Oldham productions. The Society is being taken over by four first years and a postgraduate who have plans for putting on at least one production in the Old Dining Hall each term. There is a new enthusiasm for drama in College and the John Oldham Society has profited from it. N.B.

THE MUSIC SOCIETY

Presidents: PETER LYNAN, JAMES BURN THIS YEAR has seen a change of fortune for the Music Society. Not only have several people participated in various concerts, but there has also been a decent audience at every event! Clearly last year's undergraduate apathy concerning the activities of the Society is no longer. Unfortunately, the enthusiasm of the SCR has dwindled in proportion- at the last concert only Dr Collins turned up to represent them- but this had done little to marr the success of each venture. This increase in both activity and interest is mainly due to three first year musicians who have made outstanding contributions to the musical life of the Hall throughout the year. Natasha Walker (violin), Claire Cosgrave (piano), and Malcolm McColl (trumpet) have participated in many events and have all been awarded instrumental bursaries. Their talents have undoubtedly been significant in bringing the Music Society back to life . Next term we hope to continue this good work with a series of lunchtime

concerts in the chapel (to spare the long-suffering chapel piano the indignity of being dragged halfway around the front quad) and plans are afoot to stage another evening concert in the Old Dining Hall. Hopefully, this will include performances from the incoming first year whose talents we intend to enlist as soon as possible in the new year. Our thanks go, as always, to Dr Collins for his tireless guidance and support, and to the outgoing president, Chris Dawson, who did much to rescue the society from oblivion. J.B .

THE CHAPEL CHOIR

Organ Scholar: PETER L YNAN THE NEW YEAR brought with it some new singers for the Chapel choir, though not as many as had been hoped. Nevertheless, music has continued to play an important part in our weekly worship. Evening Prayer, in particular, offers greater opportunities for musical participation now that we have reverted to use of the Book of Common Prayer after two terms of ASB. The arrival in October of our next organist will enable us to add to our repertoire pieces requiring both conductor and accompanist, as at present it is only possible for 'a cappella' performance. P.R.L.

THE CHAPEL ORGAN ON NOVEMBER 5 1990 the Chapel organ celebrated its tenth birthday, which was duly marked by an organ recital. What is not known by most people, however, is that the organ has never been fully completed . At some point in the near future though, through the generosity of a former Fellow, the two stop-knobs which have never yielded any sound when drawn (much to the disappointment of many an organ scholar!) are to be given their pipes. For the organ buffs among you, the existing Manual II reed is to be moved onto Manual I, making way for a much-needed 8' flute on the upper keyboard. A 4 ' Principal is to be added to the Pedal department. The overall specification will then be as follows: Manual 11: 8.4.2 Manual I : 8.4.II.8 Pedal : 16.8.4 The resultant flexibility means that not only will the organist be able to vary the tone when accompanying, at the same time it remaining strong enough to lead a full congregation, but, more importantly, the secondary chorus available on the upper manual will allow for a much greater variety of music to be performed satisfactorily, the player not being so restricted in his repertoire as at present.

THE CHRISTIAN UNION

Representatives: ROB BARBER, DAN BROCKINGTON, MARK FOX THE YEAR has been one where much has been learnt and God has done some great things. The Hall was the venue for the largest event, bar the Mission, held by OICCU over the last few years. Kriss Akabusi, the European gold medallist over 400m hurdles, came and spoke openly about his living faith in Jesus Christ. God used this mid-week address and subsequently members of the College have become Christians. This year was Mission year and again God revealed Himself to members of the College for the first time, drawing them into a personal relationship with Him. There is a new College Chaplain, Gerald Hegarty, who fully supports the work of the C.U. and who played a major role in the College event during the week of Mission. Thus Chapei/C.U. relations are still improving and the claims of Christ are being proclaimed to the College. With the new reps, Luke Ferriter, Debbie Hewitt and James Linforth, taking over in Trinity Term the format of the Wednesday night meeting has changed to a regular Bible study. This, we are sure, is the way God has shown to be the way forward so that we might 'grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ' . The last year has been challenging and has been one where God has revealed Himself. We have been joined by many first years and our prayers are that the Christian Union will continue to grow.

Women's Officer: CAROLINE SMITH FOUR YEARS AGO the St Edmund Hall Women's Group was formed due to feelings of unease about the sexist attitudes in the University and outside. Each week an informal meeting is held where various topics are discussed in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. It also provides an occasion for a crosssection of women from the different years to get to know each other. This term (Trinity) a successful violence awareness day took place in conjunction with Brasenose and Oriel women's groups . In Michaelmas Term we hope to hold more speaker meetings, events and joint-events with other colleges, as well as having the annual women's lunch. c.s. TIME PAST, TIME PRESENT or The Library's First Bytes of Computer Technology 'QUITE A DAUNTING PROJECT, ' I thought as I stood in the centuries old peace of St Peterin-the-East on my first day as Librarian, 'to mould high tech and Norman aesthetics together. Pity they do not make dec. & perp. of Gothic style computer consoles.' I was heartened by the first stages already undertaken by the College in locating the lines for student terminal access to OLIS, the University libraries' data base, along the west

wall. Least seen, less offended. However, I could see that a careful ergonomic exercise would be needed to make both the Librarian's office and the Library desk hardware-friendly. In order to ensure that the system would be up and running as soon as possible, affording students earliest access and me the Summer Vac to sort out the administrative uses, I spent my first few weeks in getting quotations for hardware and software, in redesigning the two administrative areas and getting costs for the work, and in asking the various University departments involved to arrange for SEH to have lines livened and terminals installed in January. I chose as builders Knowles and Sons with whom I had worked at St Anne's, my last college, when the library there was extended. I had found them excellent value for money in every way, cost, craftsmanship and commitment, and so knew they would be sensitive to the stylistic restrictions placed by the church. And so they proved again to be, when over the Christmas Vac in one week they relocated sections of shelving, added lengths of worktop, fitted drawers and ledges, stained and varnished, and made all match the style of furnishing already in the church. To provide both the hardware and software I settled on Avanti Business Systems of Kidlington. Of all the suppliers I had approached, this was the only company to listen to what I wanted and to prepare their submission along those lines. The acoustic problem of the church requires mute keyboards, quiet cooling fans, and a virtually silent printer. The forward plans of the College call for PC's that are networkable and with greatly expandable memory areas. The University OLIS database insists on DOS software in order that its full capabilities can be used for administrative purposes . Therefore the Library now has two 286SX PCs, one with mono, one with colour screen; a Canon bubblejet printer (laser printers cannot accommodate catalogue cards); and the following software: Word Perfect 5.1 for desktop printing, Windows 3.0 as a data handing tool, Excel for Windows as an accounting programme, CoreiDraw as a graphics programme, and a Logitech mouse. So Christmas was good for the Library. Twelfth Night was another matter. For it was then that I discovered that there was no space available on the OLIS software to allow more users to enter the system. Although I had placed my order in October the previous year, no one in the computing facilities or Libraries Automation Team had bothered to write or 'phone to tell me about this. Needless to say I was very angry indeed to have spent a great deal of time and money in good faith preparing for OLIS, only to find that full use of the computer facilities at SEH could not be made in the foreseeable future. However, in Trinity Term, through the good offices of fate and David Cooper, the Librarian of Corpus, I was able to gain admission to the course in using OLIS which is to start in Michaelmas Term 1991 and which will guarantee SEH a space on the newly expanded OLIS in January 1992. Deborah Eaton Librarian THE AULARIAN BOOKSHELF 1990 - 1991 1 WAS GREATLY IMPRESSED, when I first looked over the books that comprise the Aularian bookshelf, by their quality and by the wide range of subject matter which they cover.

AN UNDERGRADUATE GOES TO WAR MICHAEL HALSTED, Shots in the Sand (Gooday Publishers, 1990), Foreword by General Sir Jack Harman, £14.95 (copies can be obtained from the author at 4 Albert Court, Albert Road, Cheltenham GL52 2TN, for £14.95 plus £1 postage).

This book has something for everybody: an interesting childhood, foreign travel vividly described and, above all, a unique documentation of the first North African campaign against Rommel. When war broke out, Michael Halsted was in full enjoyment of his first year at Teddy Hall. While others might have hesitated, for him, the proud son of a serving soldier, this was a loud call and a clear call that could not be denied. And soon he entered the world of his dreams which had always been full of machines, guns and explosions. Not that the Queen's Bays, the famous regiment which he joined, had completely foregone their equine associations; for most of their tanks bore the names of Grand National winners painted on their turrets. Navy men might feel devotion to a destroyer or a submarine, but for Michael, the tank with its stout armour and lethal guns, was an object of unending affection and delight. Nor was the human element neglected, for he rejoiced in the close comradeship of the small crew, all highly trained and masters of their particular task. So he set off on the long sea-passage to Egypt via the Cape of Good Hope, a journey which is graphically described. Soon after reaching Alexandria he found himself in the North African war zone, and he began his curious love-hate relationship with the Western Desert. The extracts from the diary that follow cover the period from November 1941 to May 1942, and are notable for their complete authenticity and sincerity. They introduce the reader to a hostile featureless world of unending flatness where a man's best friend is his compass, without which he will get lost and die. Food shortages are chronic and inevitable, but the greatest deficiency of all is water. Michael records, 'washing and shaving become a fine art in the desert. My record is for shaving my face and washing my hands, feet and neck in one enamel mugful of water. After swilling it out, I would then use the mug for making porridge.' Rommel's Afrika Korps were also rationed to half a gallon of water per day. The whole situation has been succinctly described as a tactician's paradise and a quartermaster's hell. Amid the fog of war the entries in the diary reveal clearly the character of the author. His sense of humour, often self-derisory, is highly appreciated by fellow officers. This last point is significant, because otherwise his rather unusual love of literature might have set him apart. Among many other books he, like Captain Osborne in Journey's End, often refreshed his spirit with Alice in Wonderland. He is strikingly honest in his self-examination, and freely admits his 72

susceptibilities, his doubts and his fears. Above all one is conscious of the strong faith that always sustains him . For Michael, the end of the war came at the battle of Gazala in May 1942. He suffered severe head injuries when his tank was hit by an armour-piercing shell. Rescued with difficulty from the battlefield, he endured a long and excruciatingly painful journey over the desert back to hospital. He slowly recovered, but with the loss of one eye, and was sent to convalesce in Natal. From there he was brought home to England, to the Horton Emergency Hospital near Epsom. There, as the first white-coated doctor approached him with a stethoscope, Michael recognised him as having played Puck to his Oberon in the Bradfield production of A Midsummer Night's Dream in 1938. 'Come hither Puck' , he whispered hoarsely. The next move was to the Head Injuries Hospital at St Hugh's College, Oxford. Here he was successfully operated on by Sir Hugh Cairns, and later was treated with plastic surgery in Sir Archibald Mcindoe's famous East Grinstead Hospital. There was a final act in his recovery when the Reverend J. N. D. Kelly, Vice-Principal of Teddy Hall, came to his bedside to give a series of tutorials in Political Science. This enabled him eventually to set off from St Hugh's for the Examination Schools where, wearing a gown over his uniform, he wrote his papers for a wartime degree. On his discharge from hospital, Grade B, he was selected to join the staff of Field-Marshal Sir John Dill in Washington D.C. in the administration of the Lend-Lease Programme with special reference to armoured warfare . On his return to England in 1944 he joined the staff at Bradfield College, and in 1947 he took service with the British Council for whom he worked in many parts of the world for the next thirty-three years. The poets of World War I found their bodies and spirits crushed by the horrors of protracted trench warfare. But Michael, a generation later, found in the furnace of his terrible ordeal, the philosopher's stone which finally can turn even the sands of the desert to gold. Leslie Wilson

Edmund Bear Reports to all old members who have contributed so much to College funds by their purchases of mementos from the Bursary.

THANK YOU

As usual, there is an order form at the back of this magazine on which you will see a full list of what is available. Best sellers, as always, have been Edmund Bear, porcelain mugs and ties. The first tranche of the Hall umbrellas sold out immediately but we now have more in stock with an alternative design in the pipeline. If you can support the Christmas Card scheme this would help keep prices stable; just order a small number to be despatched each October; every year there is a different design from old prints that the College has.

Some rich Aularians have been delighted with the sets of table mats! They are of very high quality and heat proof. Boxed in Hall livery, each of the six mats has a different laminated print from the College archives. A box of these would make a very fine present for someone special! Finally, sets of blazer buttons will shortly be available- a discreet 'Chough' design in distressed gilt, bearing the legend, 'Aula St. Edmundi' . Please let the Bursary know if you are interested.
