ST EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE October 1997

VOL. XV. No. 2 EDITORIAL

At last, Editorem habemus! Dr Amy Zavatsky, one of our Fellows, and Tutor in Engineering has volunteered to join the comparatively short but distinguished list of Editors - A.B. Emden; J.N.D . Kelly; Graham Midgley; Ian Scargill; Old Anonymous - covering the years from its inception in 1919 to this present issue.

We are confident that all her colleagues and all old hands on the Magazine production line will give any help she asks for, and that all our very wide readership will feed in information and ideas to shape the new Magazine.

Best wishes, especially to Amy, and (at last!) farewell.

Old Anonymous FROM THE PRINCIPAL Principal has been a year of two sad losses. The death of John Kelly marks the end of an epoch. He was among the great Oxonians of his day and the most valued leader of the Hall. His humour, his learning and his style were with him long enough for his final visits to dine in Hall to be enormous fun for everyone who then met him. No one did more to expand the Hall into a large, distinguished College and preserve at the same time the intimacy of friendships. The death of Dr Frederick Brockhues was brought home to us when the Chancellor opened the Brockhues Building- his last benefaction to us.

But it has also been a cheerful year. For me the good points have included the discovery of so much goodwill among supporters of the Hall in New York and Hong Kong, and great friendliness from the inhabitants of all three Common Rooms of the College, and from the staff at all levels. We are a College threatened, as are so many, by reasons of small endownment funds and possible reductions in State support. At present, we are free of debt and are justified in our strong belief in the future . We are educating - and this must be our prime duty - a very large number of undergraduates and graduates, and we are justified in the MY FIRST YEAR AS

belief that this is our principle job and we are doing it well. In sport we have had a good year, in particular where women have been involved. It may well be that a difficult year or two lie ahead particularly where money is concerned but, with a new Director of Development on side, there are grounds for optimism. As matters presently stand we are entitled to claim that all goes well.

Among our new Honorary Fellows are Justin Gosling, formerly Principal and continuing to teach, and Patrick Garland, formerly an undergraduate of the College and now a great man of the theatre. Among our Emeritus Fellows is Bill Williams, former Vice-Principal who continues to provide invaluable assistance with the administration of the Alumni Office. It is a formidable, eclectic band.

For myself it has been a year of education. I left Oxford in 1954. To return here over forty years later is a remarkable experience. I have much to learn, not only about St Edmund Hall, but about the mysteries of the University in general and am still very much dependent on being taught.

It is a changed city with bric-a-brac shops replacing what I remember as the more solid shops of old, road changes with a great increase in traffic, buildings up and down. But above all there is this College which has replaced the old Hall now holding about five times the number of students as compared with the numbers in my undergraduate days at Worcester. But the College retains the friendliness of old, and I am very fortunate to be here to enjoy it.

Sir Stephen Tumim JOHN NORMAN DAVIDSON KELLY 1909- 1997 PRINCIPAL 1951- 1979 on March 31 1997, the Monday after Easter Sunday, the Feast of the Resurrection. On the 8th April his body was brought into Chapel, surrounded by his family, many Aularians and close Oxford friends, for his funeral service, which was essentially an intimate and family occasion, though the Chapel was filled and overflowed into the ante-chapel and the Quadrangle. The Reverend Graham Midgley officiated at the service and spoke the words of farewell:"This is not an easy task for me, to say farewell words to someone who has been a part of my life for 56 years. John was there, at my entrance interview before the powerful presence of Dr Emden - supporting me

with one or two encouraging smiles; disciplining me as an unruly graduate; teaching me as I sat hidden in the gallery during his wonderfully clear and beautifully constructed and often funny lectures; guiding me as a raw young Fellow and Dean and always in every way, a sympathetic, understanding and tolerant friend.

I find this a hard task: Firstly, to talk about him in the past tense for he was such a powerful presence both before and after his retirement, as he walked in the Quad, called in for his coffee-break from Bodley, joined us for a lively evening at High Table.

Secondly, because I find it difficult to choose the things I would most like to put together to shape a true memory of the man, a memory to keep when the time of grieving has passed, and the sense of an empty space in our life here is not so keen.

As Auden said of another hero "A shilling life will give you all the facts."

For John it is the pages of "Who's Who" and the fine obituaries after his death, which will give you the facts - his outstanding scholarship, his contribution to patristic studies, his honours and his especial place in the history of this Hall as he guided it, leading a small band of Fellows, obtaining our Charter, extending our buildings, increasing our numbers and our Fellowship, and completing our major building work in this century.

There will be another time for us to dwell on those achievements but not now. This is not the time nor the place for the grand eulogy. This, in this little Chapel, is a family moment and a gathering of two families.

Firstly, John's family, his nephews and their children, their wives and other relations, to whom we offer our sympathy in the loss of a favourite uncle. In my own thinking of this family I must always add Norman's father, and his amused contempt for Highland ways and carryings-on, and John Kelly's two sisters, redoubtable ladies who often visited, and from the window overlooking the Quad kept a close eye on the daily comings-and- goings. They all became members of that other family the family of the Hall, the body of Aularians.

John quickly became the centre of that family of which he was an inseparable part from his arrival as Chaplain in 1935 through his years as Tutor, Vice-Principal, Principal, and Honorary Fellow, the centre of so many of those young generation, now growing to manhood, maturing, growing old, who, spread throughout the world, remember him with warm affection, and who, from the messages which are reaching us, are mourning with us here.

3

So what, as I said, shall I finally choose to shape the memory of the man I wish to hold in my heart and yours when we think and talk of him in years to come?

Above all, for me, his zest for living, his enthusiasm for the things which seized his interest and his active mind and - in his earlier years his powerful body. I think of him thundering round the squash court, thrashing the ball with tremendous violence, leaving younger opponents limp and defeated in the corner.

I think of him discovering the attractions and the excitements of what to the end - he called a motor car - generally large and powerful models which he drove with gay abandon and sometimes, to the consternation ¡of his young passengers, and always the mild terror of his more aged companions. It was a vivid motoring career which found a fitting climax in the powered reversal through Boswell's window!

I remember when he took up music, and the full volume of his favourite pieces resounded round the Quad from his open windows on Staircase 4. He liked the vivid fortissimo, which was his trademark. And through all this ran his love of people, his curiosity about lives and personalities, his ability to befriend all shapes and sizes of the generations of youngsters he knew - rugger toughs, poets, actors, scholarly aesthetes, musicians, embryo priests - all these became his friends and he theirs.

But I leave to the last, the thing about John which, I feel, will live most vividly in our memory of him - his voice. The voice was a unique thing and a created thing. John told me he arrived from Scotland with a good Scots burr and others suggest that, as that softened, the model for the new voice was his old tutor, Ratcliffe of Queen's. Whatever, it was an amazing instrument. It could boom, caress, proclaim solemnly, shape ludicrously purple passages in Bump Supper speeches- and- it could be imitated!

This voice will be his living memorial for generations to come, living because, though he is silent now and the true voice is still, whenever Hall men meet together and talk of the past, as conversation re-tells the part he played in their friendship, travels, naughtiness, indiscipline, convivial mimicry, John's voice will be heard, now with a note of sadness, but always with affection, an affection and a memory which will survive the years.

May he rest in peace, and rise in glory. " Later came a time for a more public celebration of John Kelly's life and work, when the whole University and the wider world could come 4

together to honour him, and on the 21 June 1997, the University Church of St Mary the Virgin was packed in nave and gallery with people from near and far - often from very far - who had gathered to remember him.

The Reverend John Cowdrey, Fellow of the Hall and sometime Chaplain, took the service, the lessons were read by the Reverend Thomas Davidson Kelly and the Principal, Sir Stephen Tumim. The Hall Choir sang the Russian Contakion for the dead, which he had always said he would like sung at his obsequies, and two of his oldest colleagues in the Fellowship of the Hall, spoke two different and related eulogies which, joined, remembered and celebrated the many-sided man of whom we were making a memorial, the Reverend Dr Jack McManners and Reggie Alton.

Jack McManners spoke first:"I am to speak about John Kelly as a Churchman, theologian, historian and pastor, and also as a friend. In 1954 he preached a sermon in the Chapel of all Souls on Jacob's dream of a ladder between earth and heaven. 'It represents', he said, 'a vision which comes to most men, though with differing degrees of clarity and persuasive power. It is the vision ... of the interpenetration of the spiritual and material worlds, and the intercourse possible between man and God, which imparts meaning and purpose to life' .

It was his own compelling version of that vision which inspired him, a brilliant and shy young man coming to Queen's from Glasgow University, to seek ordination in the Church of England. It is impossible to be more specific, for his writings do not offer personal testimony of the old evangelical kind. Certainly, he did not seek high office in the church; early on, he refused the invitation, peremptorily given by archbishop Fisher to be his Chaplain (at that time the gateway to episcopal promotion). John 's vision, whatever form it took, gave the Church a theologian and historian of rare ability and, fortunately for Teddy Hall, left him free to rule a college rather than a diocese.

John was a lecturer of off-beat wit and vivid presentation, so he could give his courses on Saturday mornings without fear of losing his audience; and he was one of Oxford's most entertaining conversationalists.

But his scholarly publications reveal a different persona - the verve of his speech is replaced by lucid prose and serried logic. High Anglican gravitas allied to the solemnity of the Scottish divines. He had a remarkable linguistic span (he added Modern Greek and Spanish to his French, German, and Italian to help the Foreign Office during the war). Thus, he 5

could choose his subjects for research almost at will. He first turned to intensive scholarly analysis, writing three major books, mastering an immense literature of controversy and coming to judicious, sometimes highly original conclusions . The first traced the formulation of the Creeds, the second was on early Christian doctrine, and the third a biblical commentary. His first book, Early Christian Creeds (1950) was received with instant acclaim and remains the definitive work, having inaugurated a new academic industry, with up-and-coming scholars embroidering and adding footnotes to his magisterial and elegant detection of the patterns of credal borrowing and innovation as they crossed and recrossed the Alps. Then, with his biography of Jerome (1975), to which in later life he added his study of John Chrysostom, he moved on to become the historian of the period between Constantine and the Fall of Rome, Gibbon's 'triumph of barbarism and Christianity'. He evokes the life of the cities, the hazards of the frontiers, the austerities of the anchorites on the desert margins, and he dissects the workings of the complex and tormented minds of his heroes; he expertly guides us through the conventions of the scholarship, literature and rhetoric of the age. His presentation of the ruthlessly demanding relationship of Jerome with Paula and her daughter is unsurpassed in psychological insight; his narrative of the death march that brought John Chrysostom to his end is deeply moving. He was a biographer of flair and insight, as well as a master of detective work on fragmentary and puzzling sources.

Then, as if to demonstrate his skill in every genre of historiography, he produced his Dictionary of the Popes, in which his gift for sketching character is complimented by his intuition in interpreting the very nature of the papal institution itself - its ethos, its transformations, its inner dynamic.

The undergraduates of Teddy Hall only dimly comprehended their Principal's towering stature in the realm of international scholarship, but their folk-memory of the sensation caused by his first book lives on in the closing couplet of one of the college songs - the lament of a country rector who had missed his chance for fame: But peace and plenty seemed to satisfy my needs So I gave young Kelly my notes on Creeds.

(Looking round, I see that the author of this subversive ballad is in the congregation today).

We can get behind the impersonality of John's scholarly work in two less formal publications - the lectures, What is Catholicity, which

6

summed up the position he was to take as chairman of Archbishop Michael Ramsay ' s Commission for Relations with Rome, and the Aspects of the Passion, chosen in 1970 as the archbishop of Canterbury's Lent book.

'There is in the universe' , he wrote, 'welling up from the creative centre, but calling forth a response in us, a healing, cleansing and transforming power of which we would have no inkling apart from the Gospels'.

Since this revelation is unforeseeable by the natural reason, the Church, as its guardian, has the duty to interpret it, to speak authoritatively on faith and morals. That was why John admired the Church of Rome - it did just that. But, he insisted, there is no infallibility - the Roman claim to infallibility is 'preposterous' and the Roman rejection of the evidence for the validity of Anglican orders shows 'a cynical, frivolous disregard for truth'. He was always a Church Of England man, and he was an enthusiastic supporter of the Anglican validation of contraception and of the ordination of women. The only instance I know of a harsh edge to his irony was when an opponent of women declared that a crowd of lesbians were queuing to get into the ministry. 'They will be nicely counterbalanced' said John, 'by the homosexuals going out in protest'.

John detested being drawn into doctrinal disputes, more especially because he repudiated the notion that salvation can be gained by accepting propositions. In his Lectures on the Athanasian Creed (1964), he said: 'the Christian faith consists, not in intellectual assent, but in worshipping the Divine Trinity'- 'worship' in italics. It was in college chapel, Pusey House and 'Mary Mags' that John's essential theology was found, and when he lived in Crick Road we knew it was forbidden to join him on his daily walk across the Parks to Bodley- this was his time for meditation. This most gregarious of men was also (as he told me on more than one occasion) in love with loneliness, finding strength in silent reflection.

On the pastoral side of his vocation, he had a depth of human sympathy prompting him to fraternise with all sorts of people. There are reports of his pastoral chats on railway journeys - though I like best of all the story of his hilarious conversation with a bookmaker, who told him how to improve the image of the Church (including substituting for the Sundays after Trinity the Sundays before Newmarket). When he was Vice-Principal, in the depths of the Long Vacation he would sit in a deck chair in the Chapel corner of the Quad, courteously answering the questions of tourists and on one occasion accepting a tip of half-a-crown with 7

a deferential gesture. Even the American who claimed to be a ' direct descendant of St Edmund of Abingdon', was humoured, to the rage of Principal Emden when he heard the story. And on his morning coffee breaks from Bodley, John would find people to talk to -more especially, there was a frail retired scout who came in every morning in the bus, had a coffee in Browns, then went home again - nothing more. John remembered one of his sayings as 'a poignant reminder of our human condition' - 'It's a long day, Dr Kelly'.

It was his insight into human nature which formed the basis of John's wit. The epigrams, the play on words, the erudite ingenuity were for Sparrow and Bowra: the hallmark of the Kelly wit was ordinary events recounted with an aura of fantasy and a detection of the oddness of motivation - the variants of pride among the wearers of doctoral gowns in a University procession, the hesitations of two English girls abroad for the first time when ordering a bottle of wine in a restaurant in Greece. If the raconteur put himself in the story, it was not as an Olympian observer, but as wryly gauche as well. A tycoon called to see him to drop forceful hints that a place for his son would bring largesse to the College. 'When he jerked a handsome gold watch out of his waistcoat pocket to see if it was time to go ', said John, 'I instinctively held out my hand for it'.

Some of the great Oxford wits on occasion were cruel. On the contrary, John specialised in whimsical remarks to save other people embarrassment. 'Do you realise' , he greeted a nervous undergraduate summoned for playing his recorder outside permitted hours, 'that you are on the brink of the bottomless pit?' Having to push ingloriously through a crowd gathered on a staircase, he resorted to verse: The eager crowd at Dr Mitchell's door Exult -we come out rich who enter poor.

His insight made him a wise counsellor of undergraduates. 'The art', he told me, 'is to find out what they really want to do then help them to do it'. Young men in trouble with girls or who had got girls into trouble went to him rather than me as Dean and Chaplain, They found, in problems of the relations between the sexes, that here was an onlooker who saw more of the game than the participants. When I was confronted by a young man determined to leave in the middle of term to go to Tunis, where his girlfriend had fallen in love with an American officer, I rushed to the Principal's study in alarm. 'My dear Jack', said John, 'he must go with our blessing: it will be a romantic foray he will remember all his life, and have no fear, he will soon be back at his books'.

8

To a few friends, John confided that he doubted orthodox doctrine on one point - a Christian rendered useless by age and infirmity might legitimately commit suicide. But he did accept that there was a Christian truth to be held in tension with this logical, stoical and utilitarian proposition.

For the Christian, suffering can be transformed and accepted by God as, in St Paul's words, 'making up what is lacking in the sufferings of Christ'.

Behind the cross is the love of God, he wrote in his Lent book, 'the love that breaks into a blaze of glory when, taking the Master at his word, we let our hands and feet be nailed to his cross, and allow its influence to penetrate our being'. This is to be believed, but hard to believe in; one hopes the awareness will be granted to console us.

In his last illness he discouraged his friends from calling on him: he did not wish to be a source of embarrassment. And he sought the reflective loneliness he had always cherished.

Two days before the end, he was serene, asking about his friends but never mentioning himself. I remembered that he had ended his book on doctrine with a description of the final destination of the Christian soul in the Psalmist's words, 'Be still and know that I am God'.

He was followed by Reggie Alton:"One day, a few years ago, John Kelly took me aside and modestly said that when he died the College and the University might grant him a memorial service, and, please, would I make sure I gave an 'address' about his work for the Hall. I was, to say the least, flattered and flabbergasted ... And worried ... after all he was a man who, speaking in public, time and time again found just the right wavelength, just the right register and tone, just the right inflection, just the right balance of the serious and flippant. A man who could, by some sleight of tongue, transmute countless speeches made on the same generic occasion into something which seemed quite new. Follow that.

All I can do is to remember some of the many sides of this great man. I remember that he was a joy to talk to about paintings - for instance about the Carpaccios in Venice of Jerome and his lion. He was intrigued by that lion and its power to frighten Jerome's monks. Was it a symbol of a force within humanity? Or, in John's private topology, did it stand for those black books in which he daily set down his candid opinions of his colleagues, and which might one day be let loose to put the fear of God into us all? But he was not just a 'reader' of pictures. He had a keen eye for quality and bought well. I shared his admiration for Patrick Procktor (for whom he arranged an important commission in Chichester Cathedral), for 9

Harold Harvey, whose beautiful and classic painting of matrons in a field of Anemones he owned, and for Henry Scott Tuke - he of the secret oeuvre of bathing youths. I'm sure he'd like those artistic interests to be recalled.

Similarly he was very proud of his honorary membership of Vincent's, and he enjoyed the company of athletes. He was himself a keen tennis played and a passionate devotee of squash. His gargoyle holds a squash racket, though it might just as well have been a steering wheel, for he drove a car in what can only be called a sporting manner: shortly after acquiring a new fast model he was heard to wonder why there always seemed to be a strong wind blowing when he was on the road. You'll notice that I haven't tried to imitate his well-known tones - many of the congregation here, I suspect, will have had a go at that. In that voice there was always much good-humoured self parody, turned on or off according to context. I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to see and hear him in action in many contexts.

So I want to set on record his skill as a chairman, as a handler of committees, and as a negotiator. I acquired an enormous admiration for him in these roles. I suppose he must have presided upwards of 500 times over a large (and growing) Governing Body of articulate academics, most of whom thought (no, knew) that they could do the job better. And the even more numerous committee meetings, as the College along with the University dwindled from a benevolent autocracy into a machine for producing democratic paper. But he withstood that curse of open Government, and I can't remember any failure of tact, or acerb word from the chair. He did his homework and kept the peace. There was no obvious friction within the SCR and certainly no confrontation with the JCR. We must never forget that five of his years (from 1968-1973) were, far and wide in universities, years of unrest, dissent and occupation: not at Teddy Hall.

As a negotiator he seemed always to be able to ease out of people exactly what he wanted, to be able to make others work for him, to scurry about as if their lives depended on it. When in the fifties statutes were written to move us from being an anomalous medieval survival into full collegiate status I think John laid under contribution every department of the University to get the change legally workable and acceptable. He himself managed with grace and skill what was for the Principal both a diminution and an increase of power. There is no doubt therefore, that but for the illness which in 1966 caused his resignation after only a few weeks in office, he would have proved a noble Vice-Chancellor.

10

It is a measure of the high regard in which he was held that not only did people work for him, but those with money gave it to him. They included many private individuals who gave often and generously, and charitable institutions and trusts. I shall only instance the way in which his friendship with one of the Wolfson trustees secured the munificent benefaction which enabled the College to build its new dining hall and common rooms. But before John Kelly's grand vision could be realised parts of the site had to be negotiated from Magdalen and New College and two Masonic Lodges had to be persuaded to sell their leases. While all this was going on and buildings were being designed and redesigned John Kelly himself was engaged in masterly negotiation with the Church Commissioners on a quite other matter. The ancient parish church of St Peter in the East became available for 'suitable other uses', The Principal wholeheartedly embraced John Cowdrey's suggestion that an acceptable use would be as the College library. He contrived to obtain the blessing of Merton College in whose gift the living was, and somehow managed to persuade the Church Commissioners that such a change would be better than turning this spacious building into an overlarge College Chapel.

How John Kelly worked it I shall never know - even though I watched.

By acute timing and subtle changes of pace he contrived over the weeks to give the impression that, though poor, we were the sort of people who could be trusted with an ancient building, that the College contained many scholars like him who knew what to do with a library, but nevertheless that his colleagues would need some persuading to take on this burden. The eventual terms were, it seemed to me, completely in our favour: at no cost we were to hold the church on what amounted to a perpetual licence to occupy. Suddenly John seemed anxious to close: he knew it was a great bargain and perhaps also he had a hot line to the Almighty. It was, after all, only a short time later that the Church Commissioners obtained legislation approving their right to sell redundant churches. We just made it.

A triumph. The Hall has gained simultaneously a very new building, a very old building, and a garden. But then he always saw he importance of acting (and if necessary spending) while it was possible to do so, and he supported all projects for redevelopment and expansion during his time as Principal. During his last years he even lent his weight to the change of statutes which would enable us to admit women. He was no dinosaur bowing to the inevitable: when some of his colleagues played the card of the old members won't like it, I think that he as a canny Scot saw the

11

mathematical force of the argument that old members with sons and daughters plus old members with daughters made a larger number than those old members who had sired only sons.

What all this adds up to is that he was a great head of house loved by undergraduates, graduates and of course the old members that they all became. When the time came to organise a surprise eightieth birthday party, letters of affection and admiration for him simply poured in, and hundreds came to the party from the four corners of the earth. We said there might have to be a ballot. "To hell with the ballot, I'm coming" they wrote - and did. It was very moving.

But it's not only his own undergraduates who held him dear. Professor Fred Robinson of Yale wrote to Bruce Mitchell a couple of weeks ago. ''I' m grateful to you for having given me the opportunity to meet him in person ... Having dined with the man ... I feel I have been in touch with greatness in the scholarly sphere". Such greatness that I notice at this point that neither Jack nor I have thought it necessary to mention his Fellowship of the British Academy or his Honorary Degrees. He wore them all so lightly - as he wore his years.

When he retired, some of us wondered what would happen to Bachelor John, who'd inherited from his predecessor not only The Lodgings but those good and faithful servants Cyril and his wife Ethel. John had never boiled an egg. Perhaps he never did. In his North Oxford house, with a succession of St Edmund Hall graduates as minders and watchers, he did a little gardening, bought classy ready-made meals, and went on working. All the Bodleian staff knew him, from the porters up (or down) and as he grew frailer he received the great library's ultimate accolade: he was allowed to use the staff lift.

We saw him regularly in Hall at High Table, though latterly he found it . difficult to go up to the Common Room and instead held court in the downstairs hall. And for some of us there was a new, gentle, almost domestic Kelly emerging. He'd always been immensely proud of his family and nephews, and taken great glory in their successes. Now began a sequence of birthday lunches, organised by John - essentially family affairs, to which just a few old colleagues would be invited. His health would be drunk after an affectionate little speech by one of the clan.

A discreet assemblage of bottle-shaped presents would pile up. And we'd go out into the April sun, greatly privileged by the occasion, and warmed by a great sense of mutual devotion, and by John's own gracious presence.

12

I shall remember him always as a great and generous and compassionate man, as a staunch friend, and I shall not be alone.

* * * After the service, a very numerous company returned to the Hall for tea, and for many friends and Aularians to meet each other and to remember individually the man whom they had publically been celebrating.

John's ashes have been interred in the Hall Chapel, to the left of the gate from the ante-chapel, marked by a simple tablet, matching that of his predecessor, Principal A.B. Emden on the right of that gate. Together they embody the history and the achievement in the Hall's history in this century now drawing to its close, and together, I believe, we can give them the epitaph of another great builder: Si Monumentum requiris, circumspice!

E.G.M. JOHN KELLY AND CHICHESTER ROBERT SHERBURNE, Bishop of Chichester from 1508 to 1536, endowed four prebends at Chichester, known as Wiccamical Prebends (the name indicating Sherburne's connection with Winchester and New College).

This increased the number of designated stalls.

John Kelly was appointed a prebendary (Wightring) in 1948 by Bishop George Bell and from 1964 to 1993 was Prebendary of Highleigh, the latter an office with official responsibility for approval of the appointment of Headmaster of the Prebendal School (in which the choristers are educated).

It was at first a little daunting for a new Dean to see among members of the Chapter the former Vice- Principal of his College. John, along with other academics from the ancient universities, brought wisdom and constructive comment to our deliberations.

Occasionally he preached - simply and profoundly, and in that unique tone familiar to members of the Hall. He continued to attend services after he had resigned office, and to the music he was particularly devoted, in spite of his own admitted lack of musical skill.

Always a welcome guest at the Deanery, he enjoyed the social aspects of Chapter life, not least Chapter dinners , where he contributed to the liveliness of the proceedings.

13

His permanent memorial in the Cathedral is the painting in the John Baptist Chapel by Patrick Procktor, inspired by the Griinewald (lssenheim) altar at Colmar and a painting by Poussin, now at Washington.

Chichester remembers John with affection: he brought to the Cathedral his friendship, and added his distinction to its history.

ROBERT HOLTBY (Dean of Chichester, 1977-1989) THE DEATH OF A BENEFACTOR: DR FREDERICK BROCKHUES of the Brockhues Building in the front Quad by the Visitor on 18 November 1996, this appreciation was spoken by Dr Peter Collins.

Frederick Brockhues, who died on the 2nlNovember 1996, gave strict instructions that there be neither funeral service, nor memorial service, nor flowers to mark his passing. His ashes now lie beside those of his wife at his beloved home in the mountains of southern Switzerland.

Of a worldly, catholic upbringing, he came to distrust religious values, however much he found himself driven by moral conviction. Though rarely optimistic about the state of the world, he was determined to do what he could to enable his friends and the causes he most cherished to prosper. Thus, he made a deliberate decision not to have children himself, whilst devoting immense energy and contributing the major part of his considerable fortune - amassed during an international career in industry, spanning six decades - towards the establishment of children's villages for the support of orphaned and abandoned children worldwide.

His philanthropy was honoured by governments, particularly in Austria, where his SOS Children's Villages Foundation is based, and by China which - against the current protocol - sent senior representations to , a new village in Laos where Frederick celebrated his 90th birthday in December 1995.

He did not see himself as a benefactor, but rather 'as a friend who helped friends'. And so it was that Frederick Brockhues became associated with the Hall, as a friend of A.B. Emden, our Principal from 1928 until 1951. His friendship with the College has been our extraordinary good fortune: the Hall now has a Brockhues Philosophy Fellowship and Brockhues Graduate Scholarships, both in the Humanities and in the Sciences, and hosts the Emden Lectures in history, which Frederick most generously endowed to bring speakers from home and abroad to honour our former Principal.

AT THE OFFICIAL OPENING

14

His most substantial gifts, however, have been in bricks and mortar: we are fortunate indeed in having some of the best appointed graduate accommodation in Oxford at Brockhues House and at Brockhues Lodge which the Visitor opened for us in 1990. He was made an Honorary Fellow of the College in 1986.

For 20 years, our lives were measured by Frederick's regular visits in the autumn and in the spring. He took great pride in his membership of the Chancellor's Court of Benefactors and in wearing his maroon gown each October. In November he would hold his annual Emden Memorial Lunch which celebrated Emden and their friendship. He would remind us then that each of them had met his match in the stubbornness stakes. He also regaled us with stories of his younger days: of flying with Bleriot, of friendships with Karajan, as an expert witness at Nuremberg - and as a ladies' man. Only last May, Frederick, still seemingly indestructible, clambered up a ladder to have his picture taken in front of the inscription commemorating the Brockhues Building which has turned out to be his final act of generosity to the College.

The philosophy of the stoics was a lifelong interest, and his courage during his last and only illness bore witness to this. Frederick Brockhues was a rare man, a rare friend and one of rare generosity.

MRS ETHEL AN SLOW A GREAT AULARIAN, though not a matriculated one, Ethel died on 26 January 1997, certainly in her eighties, though exactly where not even her surviving relatives could tell.

Old Aularians will have fond memories of Ethel as the loyal, and sometimes long-suffering, housekeeper to Principal Emden from his election to the lodgings to his retirement. She married early to Cyril Anslow, the Principal's Butler to three Principals over a period of 50 years. Ethel and Cyril lived in their flat on the top floor of what is now the top floor of Staircase one.

With the arrival of their son Peter, the top floor flat and problems with the pram, they moved to their house in Old Headington, a stones-throw from the house of Dr Emden's mother. Peter grew to manhood there to start a promising career as a chef at Balliol before that career was cut short by his sudden and completely unexpected death.

After Peter's death, Cyril and Ethel continued to watch over Dr Emden who had retired to that house in Old Headington, to tend to his lovely

15

garden, feed his birds, and to interfere in Hall affairs when the spirit took him. Cyril was still in Hall at 7.00 am to care for the ABE's successors.

Cyril and Ethel were with Dr Emden through his final days. Then Cyril was the first to join him. Ethellived on, with her very bad-tempered dog, always glad to see old Hall friends, and lived her last years, not unhappily, in a home near her old home and Dr Emden's old house.

If we need a symbol of old loyalty and dignified service we need look no further than Cyril and Ethel Anslow SENIOR COMMON ROOM NEWS RE. ALTON (Emeritus Fellow) retired after eighteen years as editor of the Review of English Studies. O.U.P. marked the occasion by the generous gift of a Farthing, a trompe l' oeil painting of two sketch-book pages recording some of the ex-editor's activities. The Vincent Foster affair has rumbled on and has been joined by the alleged suicide note of one Kurt Cobain. R.E. Alton was also active in the controversy over the University's clumsy attempts to forget a thirty-year old undertaking; in Apollo for May 1997, an issue devoted to Oxford Art and Architecture, he published a history of the J.C.R. Picture Collections; and in April, sadly, a commissioned obituary of John Kelly for The Guardian.

Dr. M. Bourdeaux has been awarded a Lambeth D.D. He has conducted a study holiday in Dublin on "Windows on Russia" and led Keston Holidays/Pilgrimages to classical Cyprus and to the Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

Dr Peter Collins has been invited to make a series of visits to France by the Monge Foundation for Mathematics, to discuss his work in topology and its application to the study of ordinary differential equatiops. As a result, he was in Dijon in the spring of 1997, which also allowed him a close look at (and taste of) the latest Burgundy vintages. During the last academic year, he was also invited to lecture at Bremen University and at Complutense University in Madrid.

A Council Member of the European conservation organisation, Europa Nostra, for some years, Dr Collins has now been elected to the organisation's Management Committee. This has involved his attending meetings in Copenhagen, Madrid and Brussels in 1996 and 1997, and close contact with the relevant Directorates of the European Union with which Europa Nostra has consultative status as the Union's chief non-governmental advisor on conservation issues. He presented a Europa Nostra diploma to

16

the Lord Mayor for the City of London's imaginative restoration of the Mansion House.

The Reverend H.E.J. Cowdrey was the plenary lecturer at the 32nd Annual Conference on Medieval Studies at Kalamazoo. He also lectured during the academic year in the Universities of Copenhagen, Odense, and Aarhus, and at Piacenza.

J.P.D. Dunbabin enjoyed a pleasant and (in research terms) profitable leave in Michaelmas and Hilary Terms. The former was spent in North American libraries (Ann Arbor, Ottawa, McMaster and Washington) gathering material for his current project, a look on how the USCanadian border came to be where it is. Work apart, high points included canoeing with his wife round the Ann Arbor Lake - gazing at the fall foliage colours, being dined in and shown round the deserted Canadian Parliament building one evening by his former supervisee John Milloy (SEH, D.Phil. 1994) now a high-powered bilingual ministerial aide, and being shown round the very fine, French-Empire-style, cast-iron, old executive office building in Washington through the good offices of a current supervisee (temporarily attached to the National Security Council). On his return to Oxford, he wrote, until faced in Trinity Term with a double re-entry problem (as Tutor and as Vice-Principal). He proposes in tenth week to escape to a canoeing holiday in the Jura.

Deborah Eaton, the Librarian , was granted special leave for Michaelmas Term 1996. She went to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where she taught a graduate course in the School of Information and Library Science on Marketing for Information Services.

She also did extensive research there and at Duke University on the Late Roman Republican poet, Gaius Valerius Catullus. She was invited by the University of North Carolina to give a University Public Lecture on aspects of femininity in the poetry of Catullus.

Justin Gosling (Honorary Fellow) has been busy exploring ways of enjoying idleness. In an interval he gave a lecture at the Sorbonne on "Plato's Philebus: Is there a form of the Unlimited?"

Andrew Kahn (Tutor and Fellow in Russian) published, among other things, an edition in English translation of Alexander Pushkin, The Queen of Spades and Other Stories (Oxford: World's Classics, 1997). He also gave a paper at the Social Science Research Council Conference on 'Self and Story in Russian Culture', in very sunny La Jolla, California, as well as the Oxford Russian Seminar in very rainy Wellington Square.

The Reverend Duncan MacLaren, since the beginning of Trinity Term, has been appointed as Chaplain of St Edmund Hall. He writes; 17

"This has been a term of acclimatising to the (very pleasant) atmosphere of the College, and especially a chance to acquaint myself with most of the Fellows, and some students.

I have come from a curacy at St Clement's Church in Marston Road, where my wife and I were both licensed for three years. My theological training took place in London, through Oak Hill College, and prior to that I studied for my undergraduate degree in Theology at Oriel College.

I am very much looking forward to my role as Chaplain; with four previous Chaplains still aboard I shall never be lacking in available wisdom for the task!"

During the 1996-97 academic year, Dr D.E. Manolopaulos gave invited lectures in Cambridge, Los Angeles, Gottingen, Boston (Harvard), Minnesota, and Colorado.

The Reverend E.G. Midgley (Emeritus Fellow) spent the first two beautiful weeks of May exploring the medieval cities of central Spain, Avila, Segovia, Salamanca, Ca~eres and Toledo, and tilted at the Windmills of La Mancha with his camera. He is told he has a page on the Internet and anyone who understands that and "webbing in" (?) might try. http :/www.yale.cdu/yup/F96/Midgley.html After a bruising but successful encounter with a cardiac surgeon in October, Dr R.B. Mitchell (Emeritus Fellow) has lectured at Trinity College, Dublin; has attended ceremonies at the Universities of Turkey and Helsinki; and has given a paper at the International Medieval Congress, the University of Leeds. He has been elected President of the Teachers of Old English in Britain and Ireland (TOEBI).

N.C. Pollock (Emeritus Fellow) writes: "My wife and I have been in Australia again for 6 months, so had ample time in which to St1,!dy local politics . The political scene changed before we arrived and Keating (Labour) was replaced by Howard (Liberal's Country Party) whose supporters, especially the Country Party, are opposed to the recent clamour by aboriginal rights protestors for increased control over land grabbed by whites in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. The WIX decision by the Federal High Court supported the Aborigines, whereas obviously white pastoral and mining interests want not only to retain their hold over most of outback Australia, but also to extend it. They complain that the Aborigines have neither the expertise nor the ability to exploit pastoral properties or mining operations. Many Australians consider that the Aborigines have a 'prelogical mentality' , perhaps summed up by an 18

Aboriginal saying that 'White man got no dreaming. Him got nother way, white man, him go different, him got road belong himself. "' Martin Slater is still editing Oxford Economic Papers.

W.S.C. Williams (Emeritus Fellow) retired 30/09/97 and is now running the Legacy Campaign, "The Floreat Aula Society", a list of whose members appears elsewhere in the Magazine.

AN EDITORIAL TRIBUTE (with permission of the Oxford University Press) this tribute to Reggie Alton from the Editors, in Vol. XLVIII, No. 189, February 1997 of The Review of English Studies, and we add our congratulations.

THE MAGAZINE REPRINTS

EDITORIAL "For almost two decades Reggie Alton has served as editor of RES. It would be difficult to bring to mind a more distinguished period of office, in this or any other major journal.

19

Distinguished firstly, but also least importantly, on grounds of duration; more profoundly, distinguished for discrimination, insight, and shrewdness. 'Steady as you go', the policy pressed into the hands of the fledgling editor by John Bamborough and Norman Davis, may at first sight appear a counsel of inaction. But all things human must retrogress if they do not advance, and of few things is this so true as of journals. The evident continuity between the RES of today and the journal launched in 1925 is the result of a wise activeness on the part of its most recent editor, whose openness to 'necessary change' balanced a commitment to the original principles on which RES was founded against an awareness that a successful journal serves a community of scholars by meeting their true and present needs. In the first issue R.B. McKerrow ended his introductory notice by remarking that if the new journal did not engage its audience, 'it will ... surely fail'. But RES has flourished due to the astuteness of its editors, and perhaps crucially to the astuteness of its most recent editor, who has held office when the siren advocates of unnecessary change have been at their most beguiling.

A few months ago, a propos of a potential awkwardness, Reggie confided that he had found the business of editing a sure way of losing friends and dis-influencing people. But Reggie's editorship of RES has been enormously influential, and as such has entitled him to the friendship and gratitude of those whom McKerrow identified, in deceptively inclusive language, as this journal's constituency: 'those who are interested in the study of English literature'."

THE EDITORS

FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE JCR has enjoyed yet another eventful year in Teddy Hall, with members participating in a number of activities both within College and beyond.

In the competitive world of sport, the Hall has once again made successful moves towards university- wide domination, winning two Hockey Cuppers (mixed and men's), and the league in Netball and men's Cricket. The women's rowing crews continue to climb places in their divisions, with the 1st VIII obtaining blades in Torpids, and the 2nd VIII repeating this success in Eights. There were three blues in Lacrosse and 2 in Netball, with University players in several other teams.

In drama, Michaelmas term saw a team of first years direct and act in a highly praised production of Tom Stoppard's "The Real Inspector Hound" for the Cuppers competition, winning commendations from the judges in a variety of areas. Tenth

THE JUNIOR COMMON ROOM

20

week of Trinity term saw the Crypt being used for a production of "The Changeling", boasting a cast predominantly made up of Hall members and admired by hordes of tourists and students alike. The musical "Nessie", written by a second year undergraduate, and winner of last year's "Best Musical" Cuppers category, reappeared in a lengthened version at the Burton Taylor Theatre. The SEH Music Society also maintained a high profile with performances ranging from classical pieces played by our artist in residence, Donna Stoering, to Jazz concerts, all put on in the Wolfson Hall.

Out in the real world, SEH can boast of the publication of a novel by a first year English undergraduate, a national fencing champion and four winners in a computing competition (beating IBM employees), which goes some way to show the diversity of achievement amongst junior members.

As a political animal, the JCR has continued to make a number of important policy decisions on topical issues in Higher Education. In November, undergraduates and tutors turned out for the one-day nationally organised 'Shutdown' in protest against the proposed introduction of top-up fees . Last term, a general meeting discussed alternative student funding in the absence of sufficient maintenance provision by government (an ever worsening prospect). This term saw a campaign to maintain the college fee (the money provided by government in order to support the collegiate system), the threatened abolition of which would pose perhaps the greatest obstacle to the accessibility and diversity of Oxford, were the burden of the additional cost to be transferred to undergraduates. Whilst many of these changes are unlikely to affect present junior members, there remains strong feeling within the student body that future undergraduates should not be denied the opportunities which are currently on offer because of further financial constraints.

Members of the JCR Committee have once again excelled themselves by putting on a number of activities and entertainments for Hall members. Our entry for this year's Rag Parade (in aid of the Red Cross) saw the participation of approximately thirty undergraduates on a float with the song-title theme "It's a Sin". The seven deadly sins were memorably represented, with a guest appearance by the Domestic Bursar who found himself acting out of character in his role as "Avarice". The efforts of our Charities Officers (better recognised as Adam and Eve on the day) were rewarded with the prize for best Rag float. This momentum was sustained throughout seven days, with prizes for "Rag college of the week", a win in the charity five-a-side football, and, most importantly, the collection of five times as much money as our old friends at Queen 's (although we are told that it is the taking part which counts).

Mayday was greeted with the traditional champagne and strawberries, whilst Bops in the Wolfson Hall continued to demonstrate the energetic spirit of the Hall. The Ball was once again a huge success, with a popular performance by a Beatles tribute band and a large variety of activities.

Alongside our well-established and much admired Freshers' handbook, plans are afoot to produce an Alternative Prospectus written by students for an even better insight into college life to help people decide, (if they need any more convincing), to apply here. Also in the pipeline, we are hoping to hold a 'Sports Day ' - including a cricket match and tug of war - in conjunction with Aularians who live in the vicinity of Oxford, sometime next May.

21

All in all, the Junior Common Room continues to display its talents in a number of fields and on a variety of levels, perpetuating the Hall's well known image of being small, but perfectly formed.

Cathy Cooper FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE MCR this has been a vintage year for the Teddy Hall MCR. As always, the high degree of turnover that afflicts the MCR - due primarily to the high number of people who take one-year courses - took its toll ; although the loss of many valued members was more than counterbalanced by the excellent intake that came to the college in Michaelmas 1996. This year's intake was spirited and gregarious, which contributed to the swift emergence of a cohesive and friendly MCR. This process of integration was, as ever, ably assisted by our much-loved MCR Butler, Julie McCann, without whom the MCR would be a very different, and less accommodating place.

Our year was characterized by a large number of social events, the vast majority of which were extremely well-attended. In Michaelmas term, we had an excellent guest dinner. The occasion was notable for the interesting mix of people from both within and without the college. it was also marked by some quite superb food. The Christmas dinner was also a great success. Moreover, the bop that took place afterwards was, perhaps, the most memorable part of the evening. It is certain that many of the College's undergraduates would have been greatly surprised by the enthusiasm and vigour with which the graduates danced. It was a magnificent way to finish the term.

Hilary term saw the reappearance of the MCR Bums Night, an event that had been absent for several years. The dinner, which of course, consisted of haggis, was served with accompanying music provided by an Australian playing the bagpipes.

Afterwards, various members of the MCR recited a number of Burns's poems, with, it must be confessed, less than total seriousness; although the highlight of the evening was undoubtedly provided by Tom Starring's highly original - if not outrageous rendition of one of Burns's lesser known works. The other main formal occasion of the term was the Hearne dinner, to which it is traditional for graduates to invite their supervisors.

Trinity term got off to a good start with the MCR May Morning Breakfas t, at which strawberries and croissants were served with champagne. The occasion was clearly too much for some members of the MCR, since, following the breakfast, a small number felt compelled to sleep on the benches in the graveyard. The Trinity term dinner, which took place in fourth week, was probably the year's prerrtier event.

Guests were not only treated to a sumptuous meal; the Principal also delivered a witty speech that clearly captured the mood of the occasion. We also made an interesting trip to Worcester College, the MCR of which had invited us to attend one of their guest dinners. It was an excellent night and we were all struck by the great generosity and warmth of the Worcester M CR. We shall return the favour in Michaelmas 1997. The term finished with the annual MCR Summer Garden Party, which, unfortunately, took place on a very rainy day. However, the event went on in the MCR itself and it was, despite this forced change of plan, still a great success.

BY ALL ACCOUNTS,

22

The MCR has also continued to excel in other areas. The MCR provided a number of rowing crews throughout the year, including the 'MCR Miracle ' at the Christ Church Regatta in Michaelmas and the 'Frigate' in Summer Eights. There was also a successful MCR football team and an ad hoc MCR running team, captained by Jackie Cook, which put in a highly respectable performance in the Teddy Hall relays.

While on the theme of sport, special mention ought to be made of Ed Davies and Ana Unruh, who represented the University against Cambridge for the Greyhounds and women's football 1st XI respectively. Moreover, Harald Braun and Ingrid Scheiblauer danced for the University in the ballroom dancing Varsity Match. This continued a great tradition at Teddy Hall of ballroom dancing. Indeed, the MCR provided the core of the College's team in ballroom dancing cuppers. Among the MCR members who participated were Ana Unruh, Kristy Leissle, Ingrid Scheiblauer, Sandy van Hoogstraten, Claire Webb and David Skeet. Moreover, Harald Braun and Ildik6 Taksz won the jive category with a fascinating routine.

One of the nicest features of the year was the valuable contribution made to the MCR by fo urth year undergraduate members of the College. We all hope that this will be a trend that will continue in the future. That the year was such a great success can largely be attributed to the efforts of last year's 'triumvirate'. Consequently, the new committee would like to take this opportunity to thank Mary Laurents, Charlie Robinson and Mark Brewer for their work as President, Steward and Secretary respectively. The new occupants of these positions are Luke Powell, Mike Milner and Dave Skeet. We all hope that we can build on the achievements of last year's committee and MCR. LJP CHAPEL 1996 - 7 a year of transition and preparation in the life of the Chapel community in College. During the Michaelmas Term we searched for a new Chaplain and, in the Hilary Term, Duncan MacLaren was appointed to begin in the Trinity Term.

Duncan read Theology at Oriel and comes to College from a curacy at St Clements Church, Oxford. His wife Jane is continuing as curate at St Clements and Duncan is combining his chaplaincy responsibilities with work for a doctorate at King's College, London. Their son, Alexander, was born at the beginning of the Trinity Term. Already Duncan is becoming well-known in College through his work with the Student Supporters, which is our very helpful peer-group support scheme, and by his open, friendly approach to College life.

Meanwhile we have had a good and varied year of visiting preachers to Chapel evensong, ranging from the lawyer Daniel Matovu to Bishop Nazir Ali, himself an old member of the MCR; to Andrew Wingfield-Digby, Director of Christians in Sport. Another diversity has been in the church traditions represented among preachers: Nigel Atkinson, the Warden of La timer House, Oxford, is a conservative evangelic al. Sr Andrea Le Guevel is the Assistant Roman Catholic Chaplain to the University, and Fr Gregory Wolfenden, a priest of the Russian Orthodox Church as well as lecturer in liturgy at Ripon College, Cuddesdon . This rich range of background, experience and knowledge has given us opportunity to understand more of THIS HAS BEEN

the faith we share in common and to have our lazy thoughts stimulated and challenged.

Over the years in Chapel we have had an ongoing occasional series as members of the SCR preach at evensong. Last Remembrance Sunday Dr. Ian Scargill tackled an always difficult occasion with characteristic thoughtfulness, eloquence and warmth.

Ian is now Dean of Chapel, a role in which his support and encouragement of Chapel and Chaplain will have many opportunities.

It has been a demanding year for the Chapel Choir. Our Organ Scholar went down in the Trinity Term 1996 and Robin Taylor, helped by Chris Willey from St Hugh's College, stepped into the breach, organising a choir for the Michaelmas Term and developing the music of the Chapel throughout the year. It is a tribute to their commitment that the choir were invited to sing the Russian Contakion for the departed at the memorial service for John Kelly. On this significant College occasion the choir touched the notes of delicacy and feeling of this most moving of anthems.

The College is looking forward: our continued prowess on the sports field, in academic achievement and in social life is matched with an expectancy of a new era in the life of the College Chapel.

Gerald Hegarty THE CHAPEL OF ST EDMUND report that, following the interment of the ashes of the late John Kelly, a marble lozenge has been inserted into the paving in the ante-chapel, balancing the memorial to A.B. Emden; they both lie now, as sentinels on either side of the Chapel gates. The picture shows the details of the memorial tablet.

We took the opportunity, too, to repair some of the York paving nearby and this has certainly improved the entrance no end. There is no doubt that, in the next few years, the rest of the paving could do with repair and replacement and I hope the little we have managed to do in-house (our deputy Superintendent of Works, Peter Chivers, is, by trade, a stonemason) will perhaps encourage more donations to restore this fine Chapel. We hope to proceed, in due course, by an application for lottery funding but this must be matched by our own endeavours.

1 AM PLEASED TO

A SPECIAL CEREMONY of course to correction from knowledgeable Aularians and Archivists- that, on 30th August 1997, a ceremony took place which was an historic "first". A service of blessing on the marriage of two faithful servants of the Hall, as opposed to former undergraduates and their spouses, was held in the Hall Chapel.

Julia Johnson, battels Accountant for thirty years, and John Fry, a stalwart of the Porters' Lodge for 16 years, with a large company of Hall and other friends and relations, came to receive the blessing and prayers of the Church on their marriage. The occasion closed with a barrage of partypops showering hearts on the company, a more spectacular and less messy finale than the usual confetti aftermath.

The honeymoon was spent cruising in the caribbean and, despite being followed by a hurricane, was a splendid holiday before Michaelmas Term summoned them both back to duty.

THE GOSLING GARGOYLE Justin Gosling, was always just that, until he actually retired, when the problem of some commemoration raised its head: realising that the recently completed repairing of the Lodgings ' roof garden necessitated a rainwater overflow, the Bursar suggested a gargoyle to which Justin agreed on condition that, in operation, it might serve as a reminder to those using the Buttery (opposite), of the numerous similar spectacles he had witnessed from his roof garden over the years.

Our picture shows a detailed close-up of the excellent likeness and in operation under aqua-oesophageal stimulation.

A snapshot of this effigy, spewing water, was sent to Justin, in a plain envelope, with the message "from a well wisher".

The reply, addressed to "a well wisher" was as follows: "He who sews mischief Is a born tailor, But he who waters the summer flowers Is just in all things" This proverb was attributed to the wise sayings of Pun Ning, who flourished c. 300 BC. G.BT OUR RETIRING PRINCIPAL,

THE SUMMER REUNION 28TH JUNE 1997 matriculated up to 1949 and between 1977 - 1988 were invited to a Reunion which included some innovations. Coming as it did shortly after John Kelly's Memorial Service in the University Church, there was a focus on him. In the afternoon, l_llong with the annual display of gifts to the Aularian Collection of writings by Fellows and Members of the Hall, there was an exhibition on Principals of the Hall, with especial reference to John Kelly. In the afternoon also, there were two showings of the excellent video of his 80th birthday celebrations in Hall in 1989. For those who could not bear to miss it, the England V South Africa Rugger Match was on Sky T.V. in the JCR !

The new Chaplain, Duncan MacLaren, conducted his first Reunion Evensong.

Chapel was full and the singing was lusty.

After Chapel came the other change in the arrangements. Instead of sherry on the lawn, we were invited to cross the High to the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art where our pre-prandial drinks were served and where, by the kind arrangement of Stephen Farthing, Ruskin Master and Fellow of the College, we were able to view the Finalists' Degree Show. Some of the older Members who had not read their timetables, and expected things to be as they'd always been, searched around for a drink in a rather puzzled and disconsolate way, but all were gathered in when dinner was announced.

The Principal spoke of the year gone by, a worthy year, though not sparkling, with some bright spots which he highlighted. He reported the Chancellor's comments on his visits to the Hall, as the only place where he was able to meet the young. Dudley Wood replied with one of his heartwarming speeches. One never ceases to wonder where he gets all his jokes from- and how he remembers them.

Those present were: Sir Stephen Tumim (Principal), Mark Abbott, Reggie Alton (Emeritus Fellow), Professor Christopher Armitage, Alan Arthur, Hester Barrington-Ward, Fiona Bick, Philip Bladen, Geoffrey Bourne-Taylor (Bursar and Fellow), Geoffrey Brain, Bishop Paul Burrough, Nicholas Caddick, John Charles Cain, The Very Reverend Christopher Campling, Katherine E.

THE LONDON DINNER of the St Edmund Hall Association was held at the Royal Over-Seas League, St James's on Tuesday 14 January 1997. After last year's change of venue and novelty fare order reasserted itself in the form of the traditional saddle of lamb. Although lower in overall terms than of late, attendance (120) was as broadly representative as ever, covering over forty individual matriculation years.

The new President of the Association, Dudley Wood, began by welcoming the guests, the Principal and Lady Tumim, Sir Nicholas Lloyd and JCR President Cathy Cooper. Greetings also to George Earner, who not for the first time had crossed the Atlantic specifically to attend this Aularian occasion. Farrand Radley secured a mention owing to the celebration of his 80th birthday, while Nancy Giles ("better looking" than her predecessor Richard Wade) was introduced as the new Director of development. As for the Hall 's distinguished former Principals, there was a fond farewell to Justin Gosling following his 26-year association with the College and, as always, the acceptance of John Kelly's "greetings with great affection".

Celebrations of the 750th anniversary of St Edmund's canonisation had been the highlight of the year. John Heggadon, pilgrimage supremo twice over, could rightly claim never to have lost a pilgrim! The very success of his arrangements suggested that another canonisation might be well worth arranging! The extended Summer Reunion had also been well received. In a different vein the year was notable for the deaths of David Band, Sir Claude Hayes and the Hall's great benefactor and Honorary Fellow Dr Brockhues.

THE 56TH LONDON DINNER

33

The Principal opened with an admission that he was a "new boy", reporting on an Oxford year which he had not himself witnessed! Reunions, pilgrimages, gaudies, Boat Club Dinner; each was acknowledged. A particular memory was the St Edmund's Day Dinner, attended by the Chancellor, which had afforded a rare opportunity to meet the younger members of the College. Bill Williams and Richard Wade had retired (the latter to write, "something not possible in University life"). An occurrence of special poignancy was the sinking by SEH of the Worcester 1st VIII, given his status as Honorary Fellow of that fair College. Finally, affectionate comment about two great Aularian figures. There was exhortation to buy (if not to read!) Dr Bruce Mitchell's new book while John Kelly was to be cherished in his weekly dining in Hall, "throwing out marvellous epigrams". The Principal concluded that as an Oxonian he was "pleased to be back."

The guest speaker, Sir Nicholas Lloyd, former editor of "The Daily Express", was introduced by the President as someone "who had risen without trace". Moreover, throughout his career in the press he had "kept moving," so that now he was perhaps better known as a breakfast radio presenter. His nine-line entry in Who's Who compares with ten lines for his wife Eve Pollard.

Sir Nicholas remarked first on the loneliness of journalism as a profession and the "pleasant memories" of Oxford prompted by this London Dinner. Reggie Alton was held to look "just the same" whereas Graham Midgley... "did not." The presence of John Cowdrey reminded him of his "desperate" attempts to learn history at the Hall.

By and large his 1961 vintage (Jonathan Martin, Terry Jones et a!) had been undeniably a good one. As for his career, he had as an editor savoured the privilege of "sitting at the ringside of history" e.g. Mrs Thatcher's 1987 victory "had been secured by the tabloids", Colonel "H's" death in the Falklands, the Maxwe!VGuinness scandals, the Royal Family upsets. Many and varied had been his experiences.

In addition to the Association's guests the following Aularians attended the Dinner: 1933 F.H.H. Finch; 1934 J.C. Cain; 1935 G.B. Earner, H.A.F. Radley; 1937 J.P.de C.

LETTER FROM AMERICA the last year were largely around the annual St Edmund Hall Dinner held - in accordance with time honoured tradition - at the Sky Club in New York City on November 8th.

In previous years we were often fortunate to have then Principal Justin Gosling (and sometimes Margaret) with us and occasionally other Fellows as well so that we were kept up to date with happenings in Hall. We were, therefore, particularly impressed this last November that our new Principal, Sir Stephen Tumim, was able to join us and give us his very fresh perspectives shortly after taking up his new appointment. Not only that, but he was accompanied by a very old friend in the person of the Reverend Graham Midgley without whom these Aularian New York dinners might never have taken place - because when he was spearheading the Norham St Edmund Appeal he came over here in 1985, gave a cocktail party at the Links Club and yours truly said - sensing how many Aularians were around here - "Why don ' t we get together for dinner?" and offered to organize the first one. We are now approaching number 13 next November 14th! So it was very good to have Graham back and hear about his new and very interesting book "University life in 18th Century Oxford" of which he gave copies to all participants.

Those present in addition to Sir Stephen Tumim and Graham Midgley were: Mr & Mrs Warne Boyce Mr Philip Broadley Dr David Brenner Mr John Child, Jr. OUR ACfiVITIES DURING

36

Mr & Mrs J arvis Doctorow Mr Nicholas Howard Dr Edward Ilgren Mr & Mrs William R Miller Mr Fletcher Newsum Mr & Mrs Geoffrey Price Mr & Mrs Allen Walker Read Mr & Mrs Gareth Roberts Mr Steve Vivian Mr John 0. Ward & Ms Jody Shields Mr Alan Westaway Mr & Mrs Tony Whitton John Ward and I have been to all the dinners and we certainly hope to go on doing so! Alan Westaway and Warne Boyce have been long term supporters of the event also.

On the night of their arrival, Stephen, Graham and I dined at a wonderful French restaurant - Le Perigord - after the most harrowing journey in a hired car I can ever remember for just a few blocks from the U.N. Plaza Hotel. The traffic was paralysednot unusual in New York City. The meal, however, made up for everything and made our guests welcome.

At breakfast the morning after the dinner, we yet again reviewed the importance of fundraising for the Hall. The Principal gave us some of his preliminary ideas on new capital projects - including a new Lodge area - but it was the consensus of those present that the U.S. Aularians should continue with their efforts to fully fund the U.S. Science Fellowship.We are well on our way but there is still a substantial job of work to do.

In 1998 from March 27-28, there will be the Oxford weekend in New York City at which I look forward to welcoming Aularians to a Teddy Hall cocktail party.

We also look forward to next November 14th.

Floreat Aula!

FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY FUNDS I.T. FACILITIES FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY Law Summer School which has used College conference facilities for some 25 years now, has made a generous gift to record that milestone which has been linked with the memory of the late John Kelly, ever popular with many of our past conference clients.

FSU has agreed to fund the connection of all 48 rooms in the Kelly Building to the "Ethernet", thus fulfilling one of the College's aims for the near future and releasing funds which would have otherwise been committed to this important development.

At a dinner to celebrate the occasion this summer, Professor Ed Schroeder, longstanding organiser of the programme, paid tribute to the assiduous care that had been given to FSU during a quarter of a century, praising particularly College staff at all levels; Jeffrey¡ Hackney (a former law tutor at the Hall, who was instrumental in bringing FSU to us in the first place), paid tribute to the long-standing relationship of the Hall and FSU and Professor Derrick Wyatt, QC received the gift on behalf of the College.

Our photograph shows Professor Schroeder and the Bursar with Pauline Linieres, the Assistant Bursar, who has done so much to make FSU welcome at the Hall in recent years.

THREE TANKARDS ALLAN COOK AND HIS sisters Prances Cook and Mrs Mary Butt have presented a silver tankard to the Hall in memory of their father, Herbert Frederick Cook, who was an undergraduate of the Hall from 1932 to 1935. He died in January 1991 and bequeathed his large library to the Hall.

He himself had previously presented two silver tankards to the Hall in memory of his parents, Herbert Cook, who had in his time been an undergraduate of the Hall and who died in 1966, and Helen Cook who died in 1987. So, three generations are represented and united in this handsome silver group, recorded in our photograph.

The Magazine records the Hall's warm thanks for this present addition to our treasures.

OTHER DAYS, OTHER WAYS The archives of the Hall include versions of the standing instructions of the VicePrincipal during the inter-war years. They shed interesting light upon the ethos and management of its life and routines some sixty years ago. The example that follows cannot be precisely dated, but many will sense the regime of Principal A.B. Emden, who took office in 1929. The date must, however, be later than the opening of the Canterbury Building in 1934, and earlier than 1937, when tutors of the Hall were first accorded the title of Fellows.

The Three Tankards The latest gift is the tankard on the right

THE DUTIES OF THE VICE-PRINCIPAL THE VICE-PRINCIPAL AND UNDERGRADUATES should check the gate bills of undergraduates. The Porter brings the Gate-Book each Sunday morning in term. He should check all sales of beer and wine. The Butteryman brings the Buttery Book on Mondays in term . He should examine the menu brought by the Manciple each week-day morning in term. He should receive suggestions from members of the Junior Common Room as to the service provided by the kitchen and Buttery. The president of the JCR can bring suggestions each week, or as they arise. There is a Suggestion Book in the JCR. A special committee for discussing catering may be held at the beginning of each term. He should discuss with the Captain of Boats arrangements for training meals. He should see that the rules for signing the dinner list, and the customs as to seating in Hall are observed.

THE VICE-PRINCIPAL

LEAVE Leave to be away for one or more nights must be given in writing on the forms provided. the form is given to the Manciple, who after noting the absence from meals implied, gives it to the Bursary Clerk, who keeps a record of terms kept by undergraduates. The counterfoil kept by the Vice-Principal shows the grantee's address in case of need. There are special books provided by the Proctors for Acting, and for Motors. Leave is not usually given for more than one or two nights in any one term.

41

MEALS He must see that the regulations with regard to meals in rooms are observed by undergraduates. In giving permission to hold luncheons and dinners in rooms, he should remember that such meals cannot be served simultaneously with luncheon or dinner in Hall. Luncheons may be served from 1.15 pm. It is not possible to hold more than one or two parties on the same day, and two on the same staircase are to be avoided unless special arrangements for service are made. Permission to give a luncheon or dinner in the Hearne Room for as many as 14 persons may be given. If the party consists entirely of undergraduates, the host who is responsible for good behaviour may be asked to send the V.P. a list of guests beforehand. Undergraduates may obtain written permission from the V.P. to use the Hall silver for parties, the permit should be handed to the servant who is in charge of the meal. Tea, coffee, sherry, or other parties, of more than 15 persons may only be held when permission has been obtained. No undergraduate may order more than one dozen bottles of beer or half a dozen of wine at a time without permission.

SICKNESS It is the duty of the Vice-Principal to see that a doctor is consulted whenever necessary. To see that undergraduates confined to rooms are properly fed and otherwise attended. To see that they are, when necessary, isolated. He will normally visit them personally at least once a day. But if this is impossible in the case of men in lodgings, the Messenger should call each day for an up-to-date report. Parents should be informed at once in the case of serious illness; for this purpose concussion is held .to be serious.

ROOMS It is customary to give rooms in Hall to as many Freshmen as possible. Freshmen who come from the same school may like to share a double room. Those who cannot have rooms in Hall in their first year should be given rooms in their second year, unless they wish to remain in lodgings because of Honour Mods. All undergraduates should have rooms in Hall for one year. The President of the JCR should be in Hall, as also the Sacristans, Librarian, the secretaries of the Rugby and Association Football clubs, and Boat Club. Men over 6 ft. in height should not be put in rooms 20, 27, 28. No undergraduate may engage lodgings without the Vice- Principal's permission. The Vice-Principal will himself recommend suitable lodgings to Freshmen who cannot have rooms in Hall.

THE PRESIDENT AND STEWARD OF THE JCR. The Vice-Principal should consult with the officers for the time being as to all proposals for elections to those offices . He should also give the President of the JCR an opportunity of seeing him before the holding of a JCR Meeting. He should explain to incoming officers their responsibilities as regards discipline, and conduct of members

42

of the JCR. They are at liberty to make suggestions to the Manciple and Servants but all complaints must come to the Vice-Principal direct.

DISCIPLINE Offences can be punished by 'gating', by fines, or by sending out of Hall. Damage to Hall property should be punished by fine in addition to cost of repair, if the damage is wilful. ÂŁ1 would be a quitable fine for a rather serious first offence. A man is gated for seven nights a week unless the reason for the gate is failure to pass the first public examination, in which case the usual gate is five nights a week for the whole term, if he remains in residence. The chief matters likely to arise in this connection are made clear to undergraduates in Hall Regulations given to each man on admission and in the Vice-Principal's talk to Freshmen on the day of their admission. Gating for two or three weeks is a common punishment for a not too serious offence. But intoxication or climbing on roofs must be more severely dealt with. Ping-Pong, darts and violent games are not allowed. Kittens, cats and other pets may not be kept in Hall. A dog may not be brought further than the Porter's Lodge. If noise occurs in Hall which must be stopped, the V.P. will send the Porter with his compliments, and a request to stop it. The offenders may be requested later to call on him. If noise occurs after midnight, the V.P. will have to dress and visit the scene in person.

DUTIES OF STAIRCASE SERVANTS Staircase servants must report any form of absence for the night, sickness, disorderliness in rooms or other breach of rules immediately and in person. It is also advisable to remind them at the beginning of each year that; (1) (2) (3)

Ping-pong, darts and other violent games are not allowed.

Permission is required for parties of more than 15 persons Meals other than tea may not be taken in rooms

BUMP SUPPERS On the occasion of a bump-supper, it is as well to see that the handyman removes objects likely to be abused; ladders, rollers and garden tools come under this category.

He should be free during the evening, including the dinner itself, to prevent or instantly report any disorder, notably attempts to begin a bonfire, or to climb buildings, or show signs of damaging Hall property, e.g. football. The Porter must stay by the Lodge. The Hall gate should be shut from the beginning of dinner. The Porter must not admit strangers, nor re-admit members of the Hall that evening unless they live in Hall, or get the V.P.'s permission. The V.P. will usually sit in the body of the Hall at such dinners, and not at the High Table. The rule that only M.A.'s walk on the grass in the quad. is waived on these occasions. But the rule that bicycles may not be ridden in the Quadrangles should be observed.

THE DINING HALL It is the duty of the senior servant present to report any disorderly conduct in the Dining Hall. The Butteryman is to take the time from the ringing of the breakfast

43

bell. No breakfast may be served more than a quarter of an hour after the time when the bell was rung. Undergraduates who come into the Hall late for dinner are expected to send their apology to whoever is presiding in Hall, by the servant waiting at their table, who will give the message to the senior servant, who will bring it to the High Table. All requests for sconces are to be brought to the High Table in the same way. Any breach of good manners is liable to a sconce. As also any unsuitable form of dress. An undergraduate who endeavours to floor a sconce is liable to a fine of ten shillings. It is not usual to allow more than one sconce at the same table on the same night.

In that history, he described the difficult and varied struggles of the School through the years from its inception in 1871 when the first Ruskin Master was appointed

by Professor Ruskin, the University's first Slade Professor, to the day in 1875 when the School's place in the University was first discussed, and HRH Prince Leopold proposed that "Council be moved to take the subject of Degrees in Art into consideration".

It did, in fact take the University over 100 years to take a decision ("not so bad" as Philip Morsberger comments, "as this ancient University reckons time"). In 1972, IN 1978, PHILIP MOSBERGER,

44

Alan Bullock set in motion the first serious attempt to fulfill Prince Leopold's desire, and two years later the Select Committee which he had set up unanimously opted for the School's continuance and for a degree in Fine Art. It took another two years, a new committee and another report, enthusiastically supporting the opinion of the Bullock Committee, before, on Tuesday 8 March, 1977, a packed meeting of Congregation finally agreed to award a degree in Fine Art- the Baccalaureus in Bellis Artibus. In Michaelmas 1978, the first undergraduates to read for the new degree came into residence.

Professor Morsberger now takes up the story from that memorable date, a story now of especial interest to Aularians:"When I wrote the above history, I had just spent six years of my life struggling to guide the Ruskin School from the threat of extinction into the safe harbour of full University constituency. It was a deeply satisfying moment - well worth the not insubstantial wear and tear! Especially gratifying was the School's successful acquisition of Thomas Jackson's handsome 19th century building at the corner of Merton Street and the High -just across the street from St Edmund Hall. Sir William Hayter, then Warden of New College and longtime Chairman of the Ruskin Trustees, had been a stalwart, indeed, heroic ally throughout the entire process. Dr Raoul Franklin's help and guidance had been indispensable. There were many other heroes. The University owes these persons a great debt.. .. Enter Mr R.E.Alton and St Edmund Hall. Guided by Reggie Alton, Teddy Hall moved in Michaelmas 1978, to take the Ruskin Mastership into the College via the establishment of a new Professorial Fellowship. I felt deeply honoured to be the first Ruskin Master elected to Fellowship of Teddy Hall, and my years at the Hall were, I think, the happiest of my life. I was grateful to have use of the newly organised Professional Fellow's Room in Staircase III, and I greatly loved my studio in Gunfield, where I painted, inter alia, Sir Euan Maddock's portrait.

Spearheaded by Mr Alton, a scholarship in Fine Art was set up in the College, and Reg, himself a cultivated collector of pictures, became the Hall's first Moral Tutor in the subject. He was also named by the University to chair the newly established Committee for the Ruskin School. So St Edmund Hall and Professor Ruskin's Drawing School entered into a special relationship which remains exuberantly in place today.

David Tindle, a distinguished member of the Royal Academy, succeeded me as Master in 1985 and served through 1987. Happily, he continues as a Fellow of the College. Following a three-year interregnum, during which Reg Alton kept a firm and enlightened hand on the tiller, Stephen Farthing, MA, RCA was appointed Ruskin Master in 1990 and took up Fellowship in the Hall. The School has gained renewed strength under Mr Farthing's direction, and his longtime friendship with the new Principal of St Edmund Hall (also tutor for Fine Arts!), His Honour Sir Stephen Tumim, has tightened the bond still further between School, Hall, and University.

The Ruskin School, and the degree of Baccalaureus in Bellis Artibus, has become highly sought after amongst young artists. Competition for places has become intense. Teddy Hall now takes four Fine Artists each year, making it the Fine Arts College in the University. It is all a great success story. I think St. Edmund would be pleased. Deo gratias. Floreat Aula!

DR EDWARD MOORE (PRINCIPAL 1864- 1913) AND THE OXFORD DANTE SOCIETY reasons why Edward Moore should be remembered with pride and gratitude by Aularians. First because he was Principal for almost half a century and played an important part in ensuring the independence of the Hall as an academic institution, and second because he achieved an international reputation as a scholar in a field of study not then formally recognised as cultivated in the University, that of Dante Studies. In pursuit of these studies he founded in November 1876 a Society of senior members, which this year completed 120 years of its activities: it is the oldest Dante Society with a continuous history anywhere in the world.

Some Aularians will already be familiar with Moore's contribution to the autonomy of the Hall; yet it is worth recalling here for those who are not. In his day, St Edmund Hall, which unlike other medieval halls had escaped assimilation by some college or other, was still a dependency of Queen's. This is why Moore was nominated Principal

by Queen's, of which he was a Fellow, in 1864. He was then only 29, but had already a distinguished academic record. Born in Cardiff in 1835, son of a physician; educated at Bromsgrove, he entered Pembroke College, Oxford in 1853 and took a double First in Moderations and Finals in Classics and Mathematics. Elected Fellow of Queen's in 1858, he took holy orders in 1861 and was admitted to the degrees of B.D. and later D.D. (1867, 1878). As Principal he was much involved, and very successful, in the. administration of the Hall and in tuition of undergraduates (mainly in Greek texts). Amid these local responsibilities he found time in his long career to serve the University as a member of Council, Curator of the Taylorian and the Sheldonian, and to engage in scholarly research. In addition, from the time of his appointment as Principal he became, and remained to the end of his life, Rector of Gatcombe in the Isle of Wight. He was twice married and had eight children.

THERE ARE TWO MAIN

46

In 1903 he was made a canon of Canterbury. It seems that he then contemplated resigning from the office of Principal. The opportunity of such a departure inspired the Fellows of Queen's with the idea of appropriating the Hall, and they placed a motion to this effect before Congregation. According to the O.U. Gazette, xxxiii, 1902/3, it was defeated by a large majority, thanks in great part to a speech delivered

by Principal Moore, which has passed into legend. I have found no verbatim report; but it was no doubt more dramatically formulated than the mention in his obituary in the Times of 5 September 1916: 'If Dante had visited Oxford he would have seen St Edmund Hall at work, while across the road there were still only green fields'. In asserting the historical priority of the Hall, Moore characteristically chose to refer to his author, and to a legend of great antiquity going back to the late 14th century, which had Dante travelling to Paris and Oxford (Boccaccio and Villani). Among scholars of Moore's day it was much discussed; and Max Beerbohm's cartoon of Dante and a Proctor, as Principal Tumin has observed, must belong to this time if not this precise episode of the history of the Hall. Moore himself examined the legend, but believed it without foundation; so, in this case, 'se none vero, e ben trovato'. In the event Moore did not resign as Principal at this critical moment, but took up his canonry at Canterbury, commuting to and from Oxford as circumstances required. He resigned in 1913, by which time, with the help of Lord Curzon, Chancellor of the University and Visitor of St Edmund Hall, a statute had been passed (in 1912), which secured the preservation of the Hall as a separate academic society. Although the royal charter, establishing the Hall as the equivalent of the colleges, was not granted until 1958, its independence had already been established in the time of Edward Moore, whose loyalty to the Hall and to the traditions of such a unique ancient institution was certainly greater than his attachment to the college of which he had been a Fellow.

When Moore began his study of Dante, there was no school of Modern Languages at Oxford, nor was there any particular scholar among the Fellows to give a lead, although there were a number with a marginal interest, who eventually became the first members of the Dante Society. Since the early years of the 19th century the fortune of Dante had experienced a revival; his works were translated into English, and were often mined for material by clergy for sermons. But this does not seem to have been a motive for Moore. Edward Armstrong, Fellow of Queen's and friend of Moore, and so likely to know the answer, asks in his obituary of the Principal, published in the proceedings of the British Academy, vol.vii, 1915-16, how Moore came 'to establish a reputation on lines far removed from those of (his) ordinary vocation', and 'place himself in the first rank of Dante scholars'. He attributes the 'first push' to a visit to Italy in 1863 with R.G. Livingstone; for which purpose they both learnt Italian from Sig. De Tivioli, a Taylorian Teacher of the language and a lover of Dante, who is also said to have been the inspirer of the Dante Society (he was certainly one of the original members). Armstrong also mentions H.F. Tozer as the person who first induced Moore to take up Dante as a serious study. It is difficult to get much nearer to an explanation. But if we look at the directions of Moore's studies on Dante, we find enquiries of a textual, factual, practical kind, which suggest that he was attracted to Dante, not particularly for literary or even historical reasons, but for the problems his works presented. With his classical and his mathematical training,

47

Dr. Edward Moore (PRINCIPAL 1864- 191 3)

he was drawn to questions concerning words and meanings, vital to interpretation, to the provision of correct answers based on close examination of the evidence. In short, the introduction to Dante, however it came about, corresponded perfectly to his scholarly inclinations and equipment.

With this kind of approach, Moore inserted himself into a tradition of Dante scholarship already in train especially in Germany, and represented most prominently by Karl Witte, with whom Moore established relations. Indeed it seems possible that the foundation of the Oxford Dante Society by Moore in 1876 was modelled in part on Witte's establishment of the Deutsche Dante Gesellschaft, although this was a ' national ' society, whilst the O.D.S. was and has remained local and restricted in membership. It first met in November 1876 in St Edmund Hall in the Principal's Lodgings, with the declared intention of promoting the study of Dante and his works; it would meet once a term on Tuesday of 5th week, being entertained in turn by its members, who would, also in turn, read a paper on some aspect of Dante's life or writings, and/or introduce a subject for discussion based on a passage or passages from his works. This has remained basically the pattern of the Society 's meetings for 120 years. Originally consisting of nine, then twelve senior members it was later increased to fifteen ; naturally at first all male, but since 1966- ' mixed'.

From the start, the Society had no officers, except an Hon. Secretary, a role which Moore assumed and maintained for forty years, leading, on a benevolent but fairly

48

tight rein, its changing membership, which proceeded, as circumstances demanded, by coaptation. He himself used its meetings as a test-bed for his own researches, and encouraged and cajoled others to do the same. It was a remarkable achievement, and an outstanding example of interdisciplinary cooperation, as the minutes of the meetings (written in Moore's hand) and the numerous publications of the Secretary and his colleagues show. In 1921 , Dr Paget Toynbee of Balliol (and Secretary after Moore) , published, for private circulation to members, a Record of the Society 's activities since its foundation, listing names, elections, papers read and published; which gives a very clear idea of the regular rhythm and sustained interest of this unusual gathering of scholars - historians, classicists, theologians, philologists, specialists in English - with many later additions in all manner of studies with some medieval emphasis, as it still is today. It cannot be too strongly stressed that it began and continued because of the energy and enthusiasm of its founder, who, in the range and importance of his own scholarly publications, gave an outstanding example to his fellows; and who also invited and obtained their cooperation in one particular joint venture- the publication, at the invitation of the O.U.P. , of a complete Dante in one volume, which held the field internationally for thirty years.

Moore's own Dante publications, apart from minor articles, began in 1887 with a typical monograph on Time references in the Divine Comedy, inevitably involving astronomy, to which he returned in a later study: so, a mathematical beginning. But he made his mark in 1889 with a volume of Contributions to the Textual Criticism of the Divine Comedy, in which he explicitly continues the tradition of Karl Witte, but with a much wider examination of variant readings observed in some 200 manuscripts found in libraries in England, Italy .and France. This was a major advance in such scholarship, and immediately recognised abroad. He had begun from the MSS in Oxford and Cambridge libraries, later, by visits and readings, extending his collations to many more. The work established Moore's reputation as a major Dante scholar, and particularly as a textual critic and interpreter, ahead even of his Italian contemporaries.

In that same year, 1889, Moore was invited to give the Barlow Lectures on Dante at University College, London. They were published in 1890 under the title of Dante and his early biographers, and dealt with the 14th and 15th century Lives written by Boccaccio, Villani and others: hence his familiarity with the legends of Dante's visits to Paris and Oxford. This was a decade of intense activity. Accepting the O.U.P. invitation to produce a 'works of Dante' in one volume, he prepared, with the help of colleagues, and published in 1894 what immediately came to be known as 'The Oxford Dante'. Its success is indicated by its 2nd edition in 1897, and 3rd in 1904, in both of which corrections were made. It was not merely convenient, but also in some respects new. For most of the texts Moore based himself on existing editions by Witte and Fraticelli, improving them where possible, from his own researches; this is especially the case with the Comedy, which used Witte's text of 1862, but profited much from Moore's wider exploration of MSS in his Contributions and from better knowledge of classical and other sources. It is also true of Convivio for which he established his own text on two selected MSS. He also received help with other works from York Powell (the Rime) and Paget Toynbee, whose 'Index of proper names and notable matters in the Divine Comedy' appeared in this first and later editions as an

49

appendix (which also appeared separately and was reissued, updated in modern times, by Charles Singleton). Other changes were made, especially in the third edition. Further details are not suited to this present account. Suffice it to say that this complete edition of Dante was the edition until after 1921 , when the Societa Dantesca Italiana published its so-called 'testo critico ' on the occasion of the sixth centenary of Dante's death.

Moore's own substantial contribution after the 'Oxford Dante' consists in his four volumes of Studies in Dante, published by O.U.P. in 1896, 1899, 1903 and 1917, each of some 300 pages and covering a wide range of subjects. The entire first volume (or 'series' as he entitled them) dealt in masterly fashion with 'Scripture and classical authors in Dante', which is basically still the standard work on these matters. In the second 'series' , dedicated to the Hon. Mr W.E. Gladstone, friend and Hon. member of the Society, Moore included seven essays on topics ranging from Dante's classification of sins in Hell and Purgatory, and his attitude toward different sins, to the figure and reality of Beatrice, and the genuineness of the much disputed Quaestio de Aqua et Terra. In the third 'series' were five essays on astronomy and geography and prophecy, the date of Dante's 'vision' and the attribution of the famous letter to Can Grande della Scala. The last 'series' , edited by Toynbee after Moore's death, was largely devoted to the textual criticism of the Convivio, on which he had become the leading scholar. It was accompanied by six short studies on the Tomb of Dante, his theory of creation, the study of Paradise, St Lucy, and other miscellaneous notes .

Following the 7th centenary of Dante 's birth in 1965, these four volumes were reprinted by O.U.P. in 1969 and edited by Colin Hardie. They are in great part still valid despite the passage of time and advances in scholarship. This is due to their nature as specific and factual enquiries, devoid of speculation and prejudice or aesthetic concerns, and in this respect very different from much of the Dante scholarship current at that time in Italy, where nonetheless his work had an impact, particularly in the area of textual criticism. The Societa Dantesca Italiana, founded in Florence in 1888 (after the Oxford Dante Society) was no doubt inspired to some extent by the Oxford example to produce an Italian complete Dante in one volume of its own, as it did in 1921; for it must have seemed odd to be preceded by the English in such an important enterprise.

As a conclusion to this survey of Moore's career and distinction as a Dante scholar, it would seem appropriate to say something briefly about the later history of the Society he founded in the Hall in 1876. Besides its normal meetings three times a year, it has produced two volumes of essays, the first in 1965 on the 7th centenary of Dante's birth (entitled Centenary Essays), the second in 1980, The World of Dante, based on lectures delivered in 1976 to mark the first centenary of the Society. In addition, members have continued to publish articles in learned journals, reflecting papers given at meetings. In the 1965 volume, Colin Hardie, then Hon. Secretary, brought up to date the Record, begun in 1921 by Toynbee, of members and meetings ; it is hoped to carry this forward in the near future.

Its meeting in Trinity Term 1997 was the 359th (one was missed in the First World War); it took place, for the first time since Moore's day, in the Hall, appropriately marking the completion of 120 years of its activities. He presided over us, in the old Hall, in the portrait, recently recovered and restored, which was probably painted

50

about 1880, as he appears in his doctoral gown and aged forty-five or little more. He too was the subject of the meeting, which concluded with Principal Tumim in the Lodgings overlooking the front quadrangle from the drawing room window which his predecessor, Edward Moore, had caused to be made during his long residence at the Hall. This occasion explains the presence of the celebration of Principal Moore in this issue of the Magazine.

Cecil Grayson (Matric. 1938) Hon. Secretary, Oxford Dante Society 1973-1997 BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Edward Armstrong's obituary of Moore, cit.sup ., was republished at the beginning of Moore's Studies in Dante, First Series, O.U.P., 1969 (reprint edited by Colin Hardie).

A copy of the thesis (unpublished) by Annalisa Baicchi, 'Gli studi danteschi di Edward Moore', presented at the University of Pisa in 1986, is available in the Library of the Taylor Institution.

Copies of Moore's own Dante studies are to be found in the Hall library, as are the Dante Society's commemorative studies of 1965 and 1980 mentioned above.

Moore left his own library to Queen's College; together with his notebooks. They were then placed on permanent loan in the Taylor Institution, where, also on permanent loan, is the first minute book, all in Moore's hand, of the Oxford Dante Society.

THE FLOREAT AULA SOCIETY as a club for those who have arranged a bequest to the Hall. It is a way of thanking donors in advance. Members will be invited to special lunches or dinners in Oxford, or elsewhere, remembered in speeches and celebrations, and their membership noted in College publications. The existing membership was invited to a reception at the House of Commons last June: we were pleased to see those who were free to attend. We are also expecting to implement other ways of involving members in the affairs of the Hall.

In September 1996, we began sending out invitations to join the Society, and by October this year (1997), we expect to have invited all those who matriculated in 1957 or earlier. If our mailing procedure missed you, or you would like to receive an invitation whatever your year of matriculation, please write to Bill Williams at the College's Development Office.

THE DEVELOPMENT AND ALUMNI OFFICE seen a change of staff in the Development and Alumni Office, with the retirement of Richard Wade, Director of Development, in December, 1996, and Catherine Lorigan, Development Assistant, in March 1997. In addition, parttime Database Manager, Blerta Totoni, returned home to Albania in June with her husband who was a graduate student at the Hall.

The new Director of Development, Nancy Giles, took up the position in February 1997. Nancy was born and educated in the United States but for the past 28 years has lived in London with her family as a permanent U.K. resident. She brings to the Hall a background in American college and university fundraising and alumni activities combined with seven years of professional fundraising experience in the UK. She has been Development Manager for three national institutions based in London, most recently The Natural History Museum where she raised funds for a number of different Museum projects and headed the successful ÂŁ3 million appeal to save Charles Darwin s Down House in Kent.

Samantha (Sam) Day, joined the Hall in June as the new Development Assistant. A native of Witney near Oxford, Sam has a B.A. in French and Sociology from the University of Staffordshire and a postgraduate Diploma in Marketing gained at Thurrock Management Centre in Essex. Her administrative and interpersonal skills were honed while working at several local companies near Oxford. A keen traveller, Sam has taken time to backpack across Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the U.S .A. She has had a life-time involvement with animals and, having kept horses for many years, spends much of her free time helping to organise local horse shows for charity.

The new Director of Development, Nancy Giles, writes: Sam Day and I are grateful for the warm welcome we have received at the Hall, particularly from the many old members we have met since our arrival. I first entered the front Quad a few years ago when my son was an undergraduate at the Hall. Like everyone who enters there, I was charmed by the special atmosphere I found; but I was dismayed as well to learn before long that among Oxford colleges, the Hall is among the least well-endowed.

As we all now face the challenge of bringing the College s financial resources up to a level appropriate for an academic institution of its size and character, I look forward to serving as a catalyst in building new partnerships for the Hall and securing new financial support to endow tutorial fellowships, create bursaries and improve conditions for everyone. Sam and I will derive special pleasure from supporting the close and lasting relationship that exists between the Hall and its old members everywhere. We are certain that all Aularians will want to join in our mission to safeguard St Edmund Hall for future generations.

Since our arrival, while we have been busy trying to familiarizing ourselves with 750 years of history, speak the words Aularian, nought week and Oronhyatekha as thou gh we have been saying them for years, find our way to the Boat House and the Boiler Room, organise and reorganise our two offices on the first floor of Besse, assess current development activities and set goals for the future, a particular pleasure has been helping to organise a number of Aularian gatherings at the Hall and in London and meeting those who attended.

AULARIAN EVENTS The new City Chapter of Aularians under the Chairmanship of Michael Hamilton (SEH 62) was launched on 13 March at a reception at the London Capital Club. A coach left the Hall in the late afternoon carrying the Principal and 50 Fellows, undergraduates and graduates to London to join almost 100 old members with City connections for wine and canapes. The venue and much of the cost of the evening was donated by the London Capital Club as a tribute to the late David Band (SEH 61) who had been closely associated with the Club. His widow, Olivia Band, was guest of honour for the evening. The purpose of the new City Chapter is to promote the networking of Aularians connected with the City of London, encourage recent graduates who are trying to make their way in the City and, in time, to generate financial support for the Hall. The City Chapter intends to hold an annual function and to produce a Directory of City Aularians. The membership subscription is ÂŁ25 per year, with details available from the Development Office, After the death of John Kelly at the end of March, Fellows and old members considered carefully how his name and work might best be perpetuated at the Hall.

Because John Kelly's ability to extend friendship to everyone, and especially to the young, is warmly remembered, a fund in his name to support undergraduates, graduates and Fellows was deemed appropriate, something that would have pleased John Kelly himself. Therefore a permanent John Kelly Memorial Fund was established specifically to support bursaries and a Student Hardship Fund and to provide support for the academic work of Fellows.

Michael Hamilton (m.62) Chairman of the new City Chapter of Aularians at the Launch Reception Thanks to the generous sponsorship of Martin Smith (SEH 6 1), a special John Kelly Memorial Fund brochure was produced and first displayed on 2 1 June at the reception in Wolfson Hall held after the large Memorial Service for John Kelly in the University Church in the High . Thanks is due to all the Fellows who helped create the John Kelly brochure, most especially to John Cowdrey whose knowledge, advice and time were invaluable. Special photos of John Kelly used in the brochure were kindly contributed by Roger Farrand, Graham Midgley and Farrand Radley. The John Kelly brochure will be distributed to all old members next Spring as part of a new development pack setting out the College s overall goals for the future. In the meantime, we are delighted to send it on request (tel 01865-279 055).

On Tuesday evening, 24 June, a reception for 250 Aularians and friends of the Hall was held in London on the Terrace of the House of Commons overlooking the Thames. It was the first evening for many weeks when it did not rain! We are immensely grateful to Peter Butler (SEH 70) (then MP), whose idea it was to hold the gathering and who arranged this very special venue, and to Robert Jackson MP (SEH 65) and John Spellar MP (SEH 66) who served as official hosts. The entire occasion was made possible by the generosity of Colin Sanders, a member of the Hall 's Board of Advisers and a friend of the College, who stepped in to sponsor all costs. We are deeply gratefu l to him for enabling the Hall to hold this special occasion. For fear of exceeding the capacity of the Terrace, only a limited number of invitations cou ld be issued and we greatly regret that it was not possible for more old members to attend.

We hope to organise a gathering at another special, but larger, venue in London next year so that everyone who wishes to come may do so.

Bes ides offering a splendid opportunity for Aularians to meet, the House of Commons evening also served as the official launch of the John Kelly Memorial

Fund . After the Princ ipal welcomed g uests, Graham Midg ley introduced the new Fund. His moving tribute to John Kell y will not soon be forgotten by anyone who was present. Professor Charles Ritcheson (SEH 48) was guest of honour for the evening and was thanked warmly by the Principal for his generosi ty in funding the Hall 's Tutorial Fellowship in Modern History, now to be known as the Charles Ray Ritcheso n Fellowship in Hi story. Professor Ritcheso n had trave lled from Paris.

Others who came from afar were Gareth Roberts (SEH 71) from Texas, Steve Vivian (SEH 77) from New York and John Pay ne (SEH 58) from Hong Kon g. Guests also included Lord Archer (Jeffrey Archer), the Bishop of Oxford, Sir Robin Day (S EH 47), and Terry Jones (SEH 61 ). Valuable assistance was kindly provided throughout the evening by a team of six undergraduates. ' The John Kelly Memorial Fund brochure was available as well to those attending the Reunion weekend on 28 and 29 June (described elsewhere in the Magazine) and the 40 Years On Gaudy on 19 September (for matriculation year 1957).

On Sunday 21st September, a celebratory buffet lunch was held at the College in honour of Richard Fargher's 82nd birthday, organised by Colin Beaven (S EH 71) only three days after Richard 's real birthday on 18th September. The Old Dining Hall was filled to overflowing with 75 modern linguists and other friends. The subscriptions sent in for Richard 's birthday were so generous that he was given not one, but two gifts - the first, an elegant piece of 18th century blue and gold antique porcelain from Arras, followed by a case of 12 different fine French wines speciall y selected from the Hall 's cellars. It all demonstrated the great affection in which Richard Fargher is held by his old students.

On 30 September, everyone was delighted to welcome back to the Hall Bill Miller (SEH 49) and his wife lrene, who had come from New York for the Autumn meeting

of the Chancellor's Court of Benefactors. Before processing in his maroon robes and bonnet to the Sheldonian for the meeting of the Chancellors Court on the afternoon of 1st October, Bill Miller, with his wife, attended a special lunch given by the Principal and Lady Tumim with the current holders of the academic posts which have been so generously endowed by Bill Miller. Guests included Professor Stuart Ferguson, William B Miller Tutorial Fellow in Biochemistry; Dr Gavin Screaton, Junior Research Fellow in the Department of Molecular Immunology; and graduate students David Beard (music); Maja Strbac (medicine); and Krina Zondervan (epidemiology).

Other holders of William Miller graduate awards this year are James Fotheringham (zoology) and Clare Button (English) who unfortunately were unable to attend lunch on that occasion. The Hall is honoured to be represented by Bill Miller on the Chancellor's Court of Benefactors and are immensely grateful to him as well for organising every November over many years the annual St Edmund Hall New York Dinner which coincides as closely as possible with the traditional 16 November St Edmund Day Dinner held at the Hall.

NEW FUNDRAISING INITIATIVES In addition to the John Kelly Memorial Fund, two other fundraising initiatives were launched this year. A St Edmund Hall Visa card (an affinity card) has been produced bearing a colour photo of the Chapel and front Quad and the Hall s coat of arms. Old members, Fellows and College staff will receive invitations to subscribe beginning in Autumn 1997. Total proceeds generated by all the affinity cards taken out by members of the 43 participating Oxford colleges will be divided equally between all those Colleges. The issuing bank, MBNA, is the leader in the affinity card field and offers subscribers attractive benefits including no annual fee.

A new partnership with Swan Hellenic Tours was launched in July with a special offer to Aularians. A discount of 10% of the normal fare is offered on a 17-day cruise around the coasts of India from 23 February to 11 March 1998. For every booking made, Swan Hellenic will make a cash donation to the Hall of 10% of each discounted fare. A second cruise, this time around the Greek Islands and the coast of Turkey from 28 October to 11 November 1998, will be offered in Spring 1998. On the same basis, two different cruises will be offered to Aularians in future years.

The Floreat Aula Society, launched in the Autumn of 1996 to honour those who have mentioned the Hall in their wills, has been a great success and is described in a separate article. Much credit and many thanks are due to Emeritus Fellow Bill Williams for looking after the Society so well. His voluntary assistance in the Development Office is a great help, particularly as Sam Day and I are both so new to the College. An inaugural Dinner for Founding Members of the Floreat Aula Society (all those who have joined by the end of 1997) will be held at the Hall in April1998.

NEW DONATIONS TO THE HALL We are delighted to acknowledge a number of significant donations to the Hall which have been received in 1996-97 from old members, Aularian parents and other friends of the Hall.

Of special mention are the generous gift of Professor Charles Ritcheson (to endow the Charles Ray Ritcheson Fellowship in History) and a special gift of ÂŁ25,000 from

57

David Fitzwilliam-Lay (SEH 52) to help endow the new John Kelly Memorial Fund (to generate funds for bursaries and financial assistance for Fellows).

Other generous gifts of circa five figures or upwards were given by: Jean Maurellet (for the College Endowment Fund), Dr and Mrs Hassan Diab and Michael Pelham (to improve information technology at the Hall); Tom Bendhem (SEH 53) (to endow the Tom Bendhem Bursary for Art Materials), Colin Sanders (for sponsorship of the House of Commons evening), Martin Smith (for sponsorship of the new John Kelly Memorial Fund brochure), and Florida State University via Professor Ed Schroeder (to enable the installation of ethernet computer cabling in the Kelly Building).

Special gratitude is due as well to Ron Hall (SEH 49) for his regular generosity to the College; to Tony Pocock (SEH 41) for kindly sponsoring the Hall' s World Champion fencer, Eloise Smith, this coming year (to help her with expenses such as the cost of travelling to competitions); to Dr Grey Woodman (SEH 40) who has donated three valuable gold and silver commemorative coins from his collections; and to A K Barton (SEH 29) who, besides being a Founding Member of the Floreat Aula Society, has given the Hall valuable collections of first day covers, vintage postcards and exotic swords and daggers. Gifts in kind such as these are kept safe while their value is assessed and will benefit the Hall financially in years to come.

The loyal support for the College which has been shown by Aularians this year in so many different ways leaves no doubt in our minds that the generosity of its old members and the spirit of innovation which has served the Hall so well in the past will ensure that it continues to gain an increasing level of financial security while remaining a friendly academic community which holds a very special place within the University.

The Hall is pleased to acknowledge with immense gratitude donations received during the past year from the following individuals:

OBITUARIES DONOVAN HAROLD CLIBBORN (Matric. 1935) died on 24 July 1996, aged 79. He came to St Edmund Hall to read Spanish and French, and friends tell that a gamma for Old French among the remaining alphas deprived him of his First. He rowed, was President of the University Spanish Society, and was active in the Spanish Civil War, raising funds for the Republican cause, and going more than once to Spain.

After a distinguished war record, with Montgomery's staff in Africa and moving up through Sicily, Italy to north-west Europe, wounded in action and mentioned in dispatches. Returning to the Foreign Service he spent the rest of his life travelling the world in a succession of diplomatic appointments - in Los Angeles, Rio de Janiero, Madrid, Milan, Tehran, Barcelona and Ambassador to El Salvador.

The Editor remembers him fondly as giving invaluable assistance as ConsulGeneral in Barcelona to a Hall reading party en route to Majorca.

DONOVAN CLIBBORN C.M.G.

DAVID FLOYD (Matric. 1932) DAVID FLOYD DIED in August at the age of 85, after a career which reads at times like a Le Cam~ spy- mystery story.

As an undergraduate at the Hall he flirted with communism as did many of the young men of his generation, but this proved more than a passing youthful fancy.

Rather it was the seed of a lifelong interest in the Soviet Union, before and after the Cold War under Stalin and after Stalin's death.

He rescued and gave shelter to the defector Anaboli Kutzenov and arranged the publication of an uncorrupted version of that novelist's Babi -Yar.

67

He was also acquainted with the exiled Alexander Solzhenitsyn, whose novella For The Good of the Cause he had earlier translated. As his recreations in the Who 's Who of St Edmund Hall , he entered " Befriending Russian and East European defectors and immigrants".

Having taught himself Russian during his war service, he was posted to Moscow as an interpreter with the British Military Mission, and, when the War ended, he joined the Foreign Office, married Hajka who was on the communist black list, and accepted Malcolm Muggeridge's invitation to join the Daily Telegraph as communist affairs correspondent.

His reputation as one of the most informed writers on Soviet affairs grew on both sides of the Iron Curtain and he continued to write and translate and review until a year before his death.

MAJOR-GENERAL EDWIN FREDERICK (NED) FOXTON, C.B ., O.B .E. (Matric. 1933) NED FOXTON WAS BORN at North Dalton in the East Riding of Yorkshire and died there on 23 December 1996 at the age of 82. He never lost his love for his native Yorkshire and took every opportunity from his busy life and travels to return there to join his close-knit family.

Ned's long career and his loyalties embraced three phases, the years he spent in the Army, at Emmanuel College, Cambridge and, not least, as an undergraduate at St Edmund Hall, of which he retained the fondest memories. I, as one of his contemporaries and close friends, can speak only of his years at Oxford and, to a lesser extent, of his sojourn at Cambridge, as well as of the opportunities we had to maintain our personal friendship.

Ned Foxton came up to Hall in 1933 from Worksop College, and in his own words, quickly discovered that there were two Oxfords, the Oxford of libraries and lecture rooms and the Oxford of pleasant pubs and good beer. It was the latter that he and another contemporary, the late Brigadier F. H. (Peter) Frankcom, who was destined to become his colleague in the Royal Army Educational Corps, at first found more inviting, and their knowledge of what Ned termed ' the best places to go' soon became more comprehensive than their knowledge of our rough island-story. Nevertheless he obtained an honours degree in Modern History and subsequently a diploma in Education.

While at the Hall Ned was a member of the Rugby I st XV and Captain of Tennis, and he retained his enthusiasm for these games throughout his life. He was also a keen rock climber and particularly knowledgeable about music, the cinema and the theatre.

In 1937 Ned Foxton was appointed to a commission in the then Army Educational Corps and began his meteoric rise in the field of Army education, in which he was to hold every significant appointment. After initial training and a spell in Northern Command he was posted to the Indian sub-continent in 1939 and remained there until 1942 training Indian Army Perso nnel. In 1942 he was posted to H.Q. Middle East Command in Cairo and later became Assistant Adjutant-General respon sible for Indian Army education. In 1945 he returned to the U.K., only to be posted later that

68

year back to India to take up the appointment of Chief Education Officer, Southern Command, as a colonel.

In 1947 he returned once again to the U.K. to take up key staff posts at the War Office, followed by the appointments of Chief Instructor, Army School of Education from 1952 to 1955 and Commandant there from 1961 to 1963. He also served as Chief Education Officer, Far East Land Forces, until he was appointed Director of Army Education in the rank of major-general in 1965. He held this appointment until he retired from the Army in 1969.

Ned Foxton's career in the Army is summed up in a recent tribute paid to him by the Royal Army Education Corps . Ned Foxton, it was said, was a man of great talent and vision, perfectly placed to influence and manage the enormous changes forced on the Army by major shifts in defence policy and the possibilities for development in education and training. His Directorship was a watershed for the future work of the R.A.E.C. British Army training today, renowned around the world for its professionalism, owes a huge debt toNed Foxton.

On his retirement from the Army in 1969, Ned was appointed Domestic Bursar (and later a Fellow) of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, a post which he held for ten years. Here he was able to display his outstanding administrative capabilities to full advantage, and with his own memories of life as an undergraduate at the senior university and his knowledge of academic life he was well equipped to pass on the results of his experience. He made many friends among dons and students alike.

My own memories of Ned's residence at Emrnanuel stem from his generosity in allowing me to conduct what was known as the 'milk round' each year at the College and from the party which followed a successful recruiting campaign. When Ned retired in 1979 it was with the College's gratitude for a job well done.

He then took up residence in London, and for a few years, with his interest in all aspects of education, held the appointment of Examinations Secretary for the London Chamber of Commerce until he finally retired to his beloved Yorkshire wolds.

Ned lived by the Victorian writer W.E. Henley's lines 'I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul' which he was so fond of quoting. He was totally unflappable and will long be remembered for his courtesy, kindness and great sense of humour, sometimes mischievous but never malicious. His intrinsic qualities of character were exemplified by his insistence, while Director of Army Education, on paying regular visits to his former tutor at Oxford, who was by then nearly blind, to read to him.

A memorial service, at which tributes were paid to Ned Foxton by senior officers of the Royal Army Educational Corps, was held at Beaconsfield on 25 March 1997 and attended by members of Ned's family, the Vice-Master of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, Major-General A.J. Trythall, an Aularian successor as Director of Army Education, and many other friends and colleagues.

F.H.H. Finch SIR CLAUDE HAYES, KCMG. (Matric. 1930) IT WAS ONLY IN last year's Magazine that we recorded a jovial lunch party to celebrate Claude's sixty years of service on the Executive Committee of the St Edmund Hall Association, and we have a happy and relaxed picture of him enjoying the occasion,

69

which makes it all the sadder to record now his death on 20 November 1996, at the fine old age of 84.

He came to the Hall in 1930 to read Modern Languages, a boy from humble village origins whose whole academic year was financed from scholarships. He took a First in Schools, went to Strasbourg on a Heath Harrison Scholarship and after two years of research at Oxford went to the Sorbonne for three years on a Zaharoff Fellowship.

He returned to Hall as a senior scholar, and tutored in medieval French at New College. It might have been that an academic life would have been more suitable for his tastes and his personality than the public service he was destined for, but the war intervened before the choice was made.

From 1939 to 1945 he served in the RASC, survived Dunkirk- where he was mentioned in dispatches, fought in the front line in North Africa, Sicily, Italy and northwest Europe, and ended the war as a Lieutenant- Colonel, returning to Whitehall on the Civil Service Commission to begin a long and varied career in the Civil Service, as a Commissioner, then moving to the Treasury in 1957, promoted Under-Secretary in 1964, moving to the Ministry of Overseas Development and finally to become head of the Crown Agents.

It was this last appointment which brought a disappointing end to a distinguished career. He initiated and presided over a new investment policy for the capital assets of the Agency, at first successful, but then disastrous, caught up the financial disaster of the early 70's, and leaving the Crown Agency ÂŁ210 million in the red. With characteristic honesty and laconic style, Claude admitted, "I am to blame. There is no mistake about that", and retired in 1974.

His retirement was spent happily, cultivating his garden with his wife Joan at Prinkham, the medieval hall which they had restored from its dilapidated state, and finding more time for his work for the St Edmund Hall Association. We shall greatly miss his trenchant contributions to discussion, and his outspoken grumbles .

J.E. HUGHES (Matric. 1950) NED HUGHES CAME TO the Hall in 1950 after taking his degree at Princeton and having done his National Service in the USAAF. He graduated in English Language and Literature in 1952. His first post on graduation was a year as an assistant English teacher in St. Columba's College, Dublin. He then returned to the USA and taught for several years at Verde Valley, a progressive school in the Arizona Desert. From there he moved to a school in Brooklyn, New York, where he was renowned for the ambitious cycling tours on which he took groups of his senior pupils, both in England and on the continent. In the early '60's, he was head-hunted by Charles Merrill who was about to open a Commonwealth School in Boston, Mass . Ned was thus one of the small founding staff of what was to become one of the most distinguished prep schools in the States. (There is an account in The Walled Garden by Charles Merrill).

Ned's work here helped to contribute, by co-operation and discussion, to many of the books by his friend, the famous American educationalist, John Holt. In 1986 he retired to his house in Deer Island, Maine, where he died earlier this year. He leaves a widow and two step-children.

DAVID CHARLES KENNEDY (Matric. 1936) to the Hall from St Edward's School, and after taking his degree, did a fourth year at Oxford to learn Swahili, having decided on a career in the Colonial Service, which was interrupted by the War, in which he served in the RAF Coastal Command.

Kenya was his first posting, and he was an Administrative Officer in remote parts of that beautiful country, subsequently moving to the legal side of the service as a Resident Magistrate in Nyeri and Nairobi, and finally a judge in the Kenya judiciary.

He had, in the course of these labours, read for the Bar and been admitted a member of Lincoln's Inn in 1956.

Returning from Kenya on the eve of its independence he had various experience as a Magistrate's Clerk to many Benches in Gloucestershire, and on retirement in 1982 as Town Clerk ofWotton-under-edge.

After a long illness, he died peacefully on 9 August 1996.

DAVID KENNEDY CAME UP

KENNETH MUIR (Matric. 1926, HONORARY FELLOW) English Literature in the University of Liverpool from 1951-1974, Kenneth Muir died aged 89, on 30 September 1996. He was one of the outstanding Shakespearean scholars of his era and although Shakespeare remained throughout his long academic year his outstanding interest, his edition of the poems of Sir Thomas Wyatt in 1949 and his Life and Letters of Sir Thomas Wyatt in 1964 were major contributions to the study of that poet. In his early days he produced two volumes of poems, but Shakespeare overtook the poet, and his long editorship of the Shakespeare Survey from 1965 to 1980 and his editions in the Arden Shakespeare are his major monuments.

Abandoning early the idea of a medical career, he matriculated at the Hall in 1926, read the Honour School of English and after a few rather frustrating years at St John's College of Education in York, he was called to the University of Leeds by Professor Bonamy Dobree and there flourished in the stimulating company of Arnold Kettle and G. Wilson Knight - another Hall man and an Honorary Fellow, whose interest in theatrical production greatly influenced him. When he retired in 1974 he celebrated his retirement by fulfilling a long-held ambition - he appeared as Prospero in Wilson Knight's production.

From Leeds he moved to his Chair at Liverpool in 1951 and remained there for the rest of his life, still working in his old office in Liverpool long after his retirement, and continuing his work, translating French and Spanish authors, even on his daily journey on the train from Birkenhead to central Liverpool.

He was elected into an Honorary Fellowship of the Hall, a distinction which he greatly valued, and which brought him once again to visit the place where the seeds of his life's interest and work had been sown.

KING ALFRED PROFESSOR OF

GEOFFREY PARKHOUSE (Matric. 1955) Geoffrey Parkhouse, who read English at the Hall from 1955 to 1958, was one of the most distinguished lobby correspondents and political editors of his generation,

71

holding the post of political profile writer on the Sunday Express and then of political editor of the Herald (formerly the Glasgow Herald) from 1975 until his untimely death from cancer in May 1997.

He believed that the controversial lobby system, of which he was a leading exponent with an unrivalled range of contacts, was an essential lubricant of British democracy, and was himself Chairman of the Lobby in 1988-89. It is a measure of the esteem in which he was held at the highest levels of government that when the gravity of his final illness became known, the then Prime Minister, John Major, took time off from the time- consuming affairs of state to write a personal letter of two pages long expressing sympathy and offering to help in any way he could. It is also a measure of Geoffrey's own detachment and objectivity in the conduct of his profession (and perhaps of his own innate humility) that when he was offered the O.B.E. a few years before his death he declined it on the grounds that it was an inappropriate honour for the working scribe. A second O.B .E. was offered in a letter dated the same day he died.

Born in Glasgow of an English mother and a Scottish father, Geoffrey was educated at Hurstpierpoint College, Sussex, then served as an infantry subaltern in the Royal West African Frontier Force in what was then the Gold Coast ('white officer with black privates', so the joke went) before coming up to the Hall ('to read rugby for the College', so another joke went,' and play a little English in his spare time') in 1955.

I met him in the first few days of his Oxford career and spent a holiday in Greece with him and his family when the first symptoms of his fatal illness began to appear a few months before he died. It struck me how little Geoffrey had changed in the intervening 42 years, either physically or in personality and outlook - or for that matter in party tricks. The 20 year old who could jump into the well in the Teddy Hall Quad clutching a pint of bitter without spilling a drop was not a fa; cry from the 60 year old who could sing 'Champagne Charlie is my name' while standing on a revolving bar stool clutching a gin and tonic in Annie's Bar (a favourite political watering hole) before an appreciative audience of senior politicians and political journalists. It was as though Geoffrey had arrived at the Hall already a fully evolved man of action and a man of thought. All who knew him in college, from his tutors - Graham Midgley, Bruce Mitchell and Reg Alton - to his fellow undergraduates (including the members of the college rugby team, for whom he played wing-threequarter on a famous tour of Italy)- were struck by his conviviality, his humour, his capacity for friendship (and Flowers Keg Bitter), the quizzical and sometimes iconoclastic detachment of his thinking, his modesty and refreshing lack of ego, his curiosity and breadth of interests, his intense interest in what anybody had to say on any particular subject. He was quirky, independent, genial, not over-burdened by the fate of the world. But he did not live entirely on the surface. He sometimes revealed a private, introspective streak, and he had hidden depths (many of us never realised until after he was gone that he was a devout, life-long Christian) . As an undergraduate he was imbued with a sense of fun that gave full range to his arcane ingenuity. It was Geoffrey who masterminded the unscripted liberation of the Ethiopian slaves during the Sadlers Wells production of Aida at the New Theatre, in which the Hall rugby team starred as unusually unruly extras. It was Geoffrey who did the complex planning for a mass gate-crashing of the

72

Magdalen Summer Ball, involving a fleet of punts, a kind of jungle warfare infiltration of the Magdalen grounds, and a death-defying break-in (with the help of an insider collaborator) through a first floor window. And it was Geoffrey who, as my 'Finals buddy', worked out how he and I should get through our looming ordeal - a master-class in crisis management involving an eccentric (not to say punishing) schedule (two hours on, two hours off, twenty-four hours round the clock for weeks on end) and a crafty division of available revision time ('I'll do Shakespeare,' he suggested when it came to the 'Shakespeare and his Contemporaries' paper, 'and you do the Contemporaries,') Geoffrey left Oxford with a good second - as, thanks to him, did I - and the rest, in a sense, is history.

He rose steadily through the hierarchy of the national papers - Daily Herald, Daily Mail, Sunday Express - before achieving the pinnacle of his career on the Herald at the age of 40. Both as a political journalist and a human being Geoffrey commanded enormous respect in the Cabinet, Parliament and the Fourth Estate. He was close to the heartbeat of the political system and on easy terms with the great and the good Tony Blair, Paddy Ashdown, Lord Parkinson and many more - but also the humble and the lowly. He lunched almost every day at the Garrick, his favourite work place, often with a Cabinet Minister. He had ready access to men of influence. 'It's time you had lunch with Lord Archer,' he once said to me, knowing me to be a biographer. So we did. He also had access to the Houses of Parliament at any time of day and night as those Aularians who went with him to the Commons for a long night of conviviality in the Press bar following one of the London Aularian dinners will vividly recall.

Twice a week he attended the Prime Minister's briefing. Every day he attended the lobby meeting, and every day he dictated 'clean copy' off the cuff to his newspaper (a knack first perfected during his weekly English essay crises in his time at the Hall).

The quality of his daily copy and his weekly column on wider political themes helped make the Herald a serious political paper far beyond the bounds of Glasgow alone.

His memorial service at St Margaret's Church, Westminster Abbey, was attended not only by a former Prime Minister and past and present Cabinet Ministers and the Speaker of the House but several hundred colleagues, friends and family, who mourned the passing of a fine man - and a great Aularian. He is survived by his first wife Pauline and the two sons of that marriage, Sam and Charles, and by his second wife, the political journalist Julia Langdon, and their young daughter, Georgia, and even younger son, Edward.

Douglas Batting THE REVD. ROBERT GUY PUSEY Matric. 1933) Guy Pusey on 3 April 1997, we have lost another of the small band of faithful octogenarian Aularians. He was just 88 when he died peacefully in his sleep while on holiday in the Welsh Marches .

Coming at the age of 24 to a vocation to the anglican priesthood, he matriculated at the Hall in 1933 and read the Honour School of PPE, was a very active member of the Student Christian Movement and Captain of the Hockey XI. After Oxford he went to Lincoln Theological College and was ordained by the Bishop of Worcester, spending most of his priestly career in the Worcester Diocese. After his formal retirement, WITH THE DEATH OF

73

he continued to take services wherever a priest was needed, and died a well-loved and respected pastor.

CANON MICHAEL RI CHARDS BLitt MA STL (Rome) FRHists Michael Richards took a prominent part in the May 1996 Pilgrimage to Pontigny which featured in the 1995-96 Magazine. He preached the sermon in the Pilgrimage Service in Canterbury Cathedral and was a eo-celebrant in the Solemn Mass held in Pontigny Abbey. Here his faultless French, which he read at Wadham in 1945 and honed in the Paris Seminaire des Carmes, stood him in good stead. In a distinguished career as an 'intellectual Roman Catholic' (Daily Telegraph obit of 5 March) he had been Dean of Studies at the former Alien Hall Seminary housed at St Edmund's College, Ware and it was on the recommendation of the latter body 's representatives on the Pilgrimage Organising Committee that he was invited to preach the Canterbury sermon.

THE VERY REVD.

GORDON LIONEL HAMILTON RIDLEY SHIELD (Matric. 1933) GORDON SHIELD DIED at Albury, Hertfordshire, on 6 March 1997 at the age of 84. He came up to the Hall in 1933 from Brighton College to read for an honours degree in Modern History and soon began to make his mark as one of the most active and notable personalities of his year. He was a keen rugby player, often turning out for the First XV, and also played tennis for the Hall. He was a member of several of the Hall's literary societies, such as the Liddon, the Essay, the Makers and the John Oldham. Gordon's other main interest was the O.U.O.T.C., which gave him training and experience which was to stand him in good stead during the 1939-45 War. On graduating, Gordon Shield joined Norris Oakley Bros, a firm of stockbrokers in London , and remained with them until the outbreak of the War. To signify his Scottish lineage and his continued interest in military training he became a Territorial and joined the London Scottish Regiment, for which he was particularly proud to play rugby. In December 1939, he was one of a number of members of the London Scottish who were commissioned in regiments of two Scottish divisions; in Gordon's case the 5th Battalion Black Watch, Royal Highland Regiment, for which he enjoyed playing rugger against their Highlander rivals.

After extensive training, together with several moves, including a spell as an Army Liaison Officer with the R.A.F., during which he was given flying lessons and acted temporarily and unofficially as an Air Gunner, Gordon was posted to HQ, Scottish Command in Edinburgh. From there he went to HQ, 18 Division in England, ending up as a Black Watch Officer attached to 155 Infantry Brigade, with which he was to go overseas in the Winter of 1941.

Following a diversion to India, the Brigade eventually arrived in Singapore, which fell shortly afterwards to the Japanese, Gordon being captured on 15 February 1942.

He spent the first part of his internment in Changi, the notorious Singapore prison camp, before being moved to Thailand to work on the Thai end of the Burma railway.

After three and a half years in captivity, during which he suffered appalling privations and the breakdown of his health, he was liberated on 2 September 1945. He had earli-

74

er been mentioned in dispatches. On his return to the U.K. he was immediately granted a year's sick leave, most of which was spent staying with friends in Scotland.

In 1946, Gordon decided to read law and served his articles in London with his father's firm of solicitors. After qualifying he joined another firm for a few years and later branched out on his own in Essex, where he then lived. In 1951 he married his wife Stella at St Calumba's, Pont Street, as he particularly wanted the ceremony to be celebrated in the Scottish church. He was devoted to his young step-daughters and played a great part in their upbringing.

Gordon's legal practice continued to expand, and although in later years he worked only on a part-time basis he did not retire completely until 1988. In the meantime he and his wife had moved to Hertfordshire, where from their home at Albury, Gordon devoted himself to local interests, becoming a parish councillor ¡and a member of the British Legion. He also undertook a considerable amount of church work.

For many years Gordon was an active member of the Executive Committee of the St Edmund Hall Association. He was Chairman of the sub-committee which was responsible for producing the admirable publication "Hall", to which he himself contributed.

Gordon shield was a man of great courage and ability who never did things by halves. He will be remembered especially for his sense of humour, his kindness to all who sought his help, and his affinity for young people. He died three months after our mutual close friend, Ned Foxton, and it is my sad duty to pay tribute to both of them.

F.H.H. Finch JOHN THEODORE STOAKLEY (Matric. 1952) JOHN STOAKLEY CAME UP to the Hall to read Forestry and after taking his degree he joined the Forestry Commission. Trees were his first love, but with that grew a personal interest in the insects which inhabited them and often destroyed them. A second degree, an MSC in Entomology at the Imperial College of Science and Technology confirmed him in this lifelong interest, and his work on tree pests and their control brought him international recognition. A move to Scotland changed the direction of his interest and work to bees. From then on, with his wife Morna, bees and beekeeping were the centre of his life and he became a leading authority on apiary management, on advising and teaching and lecturing on his beloved bees. He leaves his wife and two daughters to carry on his work, with the well-wishes of the whole bee-keeping community.

THE REV. RICHARD JOHN VAUGHAN, MC died on 27 August 1996 at the age of 87. He matriculated at the Hall in 1931, read PPE and obtained a First. After studying for the postgraduate Diploma in Theology at Wycliffe Hall he was ordained into the Sacred Ministry in 1935 and served as a Curate in Bristol and as Vicar of Christ church, Harlington.

The outbreak of the Second World war saw him in service as Chaplain to the forces, with the front line action in North Africa, and in the whole of the Italian THE REVD. JOHN VAUGHAN

Campaign. It was here that he was twice mentioned in dispatches and had the unusual distinction for a non-combatant of being awarded the Military Cross. He would never talk about what acts of heroism lay behind that honour, and when asked about it would only say, "It was for sleeping with my boots on".

After leavi ng the Army he became Vicar of St. Saviour's, Alexandra Park, and finally in 1955 of St. George's, Headstone, in Harrow, and one of his lasting achievements was his completion of the church building there which, for 50 years, had a west wall made of corrugated iron.

He was a very faithful Aularian and until recently was a familiar figure at Summer Reunions.

PETER GUY WINCH (Matric . 1947) and influential philosopher, died on 27 April 1997, aged 71. He came to the Hall in 1947 after serving with the Royal Navy in the War, and after reading PPE, remained in Oxford to obtain a B.Phil.

His long academic career began at the University College of Swansea and after twelve years as Reader at Birkbeck College, he was appointed to the Chair of Philosophy at King's College, London. In 1984, he was appointed Professor of Philosophy in the University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign where he remained a prolific writer and popular teacher until the end of his life.

He was an important interpreter of Wittgenstein, and he became a trustee of that philosopher's unpublished papers, but his interests were wide-ranging. His Times obituary summed up his scholarly and personal distinction: " Whether his subject was ethics or anthropology, he combined philosophical acumen with impressive intellectual honesty, high seriousness with vividness and wit" .

CLUBS AND SOCIETIES THE BOAT CLUB

Captain of Boats: M. Thorneycroft. Ladies Captain: C. Ormerod Michaelmas and Hilary Terms ROWI NG IN MICHAELMAS TERM began not on the water but in the Old Dining Hall , with a drinks party to recruit Freshers to the Boat Club. Kindly sponsored by Urenco, a company based in Marlow, this event generated considerable interest in rowing for the College and allowed us to produce four novice crews: two men and two women.

Christchurch Regatta in Seventh Week provided a focus for the term 's rowing, and most of the energies of the Boat Club were channelled into coaching these novice boats. This proved successful, as all four of the crews were still in the competition on the last day of this four-day Regatta. The Men's A Crew did particularly well, reaching the quarter finals; the women also did well, both crews getting through two rounds. This is the best result achieved by the Hall's novices for several years, and it generated a considerable College spirit among the first years. The week before Christchurch Regatta, both Men's and Women's A Crews rowed well at Nephthys Regatta, with the Men 's Crew reaching the semi-finals, after winning their first race by less than one foot, providing much excitement in the Boathouse. The racing experience they gained from this proved to be very valuable at Christchurch, and enabled them to win some very close races.

Alongside the novice rowing, a provisional Women 's First VIII was formed.

Several members of last year's Second VIII and a number of Freshers with previous

"The Hall-BNC Boat at Henley"

77

rowing experience were keen to get out on the river, and spent the term aiming to achieve a common style of rowing. This crew provided a useful starting point for Torpids term and it was very encouraging to see such commitment at this early stage of the year.

The seven weeks of Torpids training during Hilary Term saw the extremes of conditions on the Isis with the river completely frozen for the first few days of term and severely flooded in Sixth Week, interrupting training all too close to race day for comfort. As last year Teddy Hall entered four Men's VIIIs. Unfortunately Torpids was not a happy event for the men's crews, both suffered from a case of being in the wrong place in their respective divisions at the wrong time, with some very fast crews around them in the starting order. The Men's First VIII were lucky to be coached for the first time by old Aularian and ex-Goldie oarsman Andrew Gowans who is now a lawyer in Oxford. He escaped from his office during his lunch hour several times each week and even managed to make the occasional very early morning for which we were exceedingly grateful. With Summer VIIIs as the long term aim, Andy began to lay foundations of the very successful "Cambridge" style: smooth and efficient rowing, focusing on pushing the boat past the blade as opposed to pulling the blade through the water. The crew were very receptive to his manner of coaching but suffered from a lack of First VIII experience, with Martin Thorneycroft, the Captain, being the only survivor from last year's First VIII. However, there was some promising talent in the crew, with three schoolboy oarsmen of varying standards, and a number of last Summer's second VIII. We also has an American student who had formally rowed for Boston College, although his love of British sports meant that he was on every sports team in Oxford by Fifth Week, somewhat complicating the training schedule.

Despite a rather difficult and disrupted build up to race week, the crew rowed very well on the Wednesday, maintaining their ninth position in the First Division, and making ground on Lincoln ahead before they bumped out. Unfortunately, Thursday saw the crew in a rather difficult position, as the authorities had scheduled the semifinal of the Cuppers Rugby to finish half an hour before the First Division start time, and the Cuppers team included the powerhouse of our crew, the five and six men.

Although they did their best, there is no doubt that the strain of a very close match against Keble contributed significantly to a lack of power in the boat, power which was badly needed to hold off Oriel II who were now chasing us. A brave performance was not enough to prevent the bump, and after being bumped once in the Gut, we only just held off a very fast Exeter crew aiming for the over-bump, destroying their chance of getting Blades. On Friday, a much more powerful row saw us close to within half a length of the Oriel crew that had bumped us the previous day.

Unfortunately, a great deal of action around the Gut turned the tables: the Oriel crew bumped out, and despite Clare Ormerod's excellent line we were caught half way down the Green Bank by Exeter, leaving us chasing Worcester for the overbump.

Saturday was a sorry day for Teddy Hall Boat Club, as a reasonable row was not enough to prevent us conceding a third bump to a Queen's crew that seemed to have an unlimited capacity to sprint. At the O.U.B.C. we were moving away, and they were quarter of a length adrift at the Boathouse, but yet another push gave them the overlap they needed to catch us ten feet before the line. Although not the main focus

78

of our year, this performance in Torpids was not one of which the Men's First VIII was particularly proud. Many of the Colleges around us, who not do hold such a high position in Summer VIIIs, seemed to have raised their game to the extent that many believe their crews were as fast as they will be in the Summer. With a long term plan masterminded by Andy Gowans, however, there is a lot more speed to come out of Teddy Hall Men in Summer VIIIs. Hilary Term was hugely successful for the Women's First VIII. All eight committed to training from an early stage, and quickly began to build upon the work of the previous term. Chief Coach Richard Fishlock did an excellent job of organising coaching, largely from Croatian International and Blue, Luka Grubor. Richard also did several weekend sessions himself, which is unusual this early in the year. Together they worked well, with Luka creating a flowing rhythm within the crew, and Richard providing the aggression necessary to succeed in Bumps racing. In Sixth Week, the crew entered the Reading Head of the River, a gamble so close to Torpids, but one which paid off. The day generated considerable crew spirit as they had an excellent row, coming fifth in Women's Senior Ill over the 4,250 metre course. Their capacity to row together and to remain relaxed helped them a great deal. From this success their mood was good entering Seventh Week, when they started Torpids tenth in the Women's Second Division. On the Wednesday, Balliol fell victim to their steady rhythm, which they maintained under Donnington Bridge, to take the bump entering the Gut. Thursday's racing saw them bump Queen's on the early stages of the Green Bank, and on Friday Worcester conceded in the Gut. Teddy Hall appeared to benefit considerably from the Macon blades they were using. Although crews around them using Cleavers tended to gain in the first minute off the start, the size and weight of these blades caused them to tire quickly while Teddy Hall settled into a strong, confident rhythm which they were able to sustain over a much longer distance: it is a matter of some debate as to whether this will hold true in the Women's First Division in the Summer. On Saturday, Women's Division II saw considerable chaos, as Teddy Hall bumped Hertford as they entered the Gut. Complications arose as Hertford hit the bank at this point, and the seven boats behind them rowed past. Uncertainty surrounded our bump as questions were raised as to the exact chain of events that led to the crash, and there was a very tense half hour wait before our fourth bump of Torpids was officially confirmed by the organisers . Eventually everything was in order, and Teddy Hall began to celebrate the Women 's Blades in true style.

Disrupted conditions on the Isis resulted in a very difficult term for the two Second VIIIs, with flooding restricting outing times for several weeks for these non-senior crews. Unusually for a Hall Men ' s Second VIII, the crew consisted entirely of novices and were therefore very short of experience. This, combined with a lack of coaching, contributed to a rather severe downfall. They were unfortunate in_that the last two Hall Men's Second VIIIs have been successful and experienced "Schools" crews, both getting Blades, and creating an artificially high starting position for a more realistic Second VIII. Although Torpids was unsuccessful, it was good to see so many novices getting involved in Bumps racing at this level, and we hope to sort out the coaching for the Summer term to prevent a similar disaster. The Women's Second VIII's performance in Torpids proved to be rather more successful. Coached by a

79

former member of the Women's First VIII, Me! Bearchill, they undertook a strict programme of both land and water training which prepared them well for Torpids .

Starting seventh in Women's Division IV, they bumped three days out of four catching Merton II, Lincoln II and Pembroke II. They were very disappointed not to make Blades which were at one point within quarter of a length and missed out on only due to poor coxing.

After all racing was completed, the Saturday evening saw all Hall oarsmen and women, from Blades winners to those bumped down several times, celebrating Torpids and the end of a fairly grim Winter term on the river. We congratulate the Women's First VIII and their coaches on winning their Blades. Next term a 'Bumps Supper' will be held with the Principal in their honour.

Trinity Term 1997 started very shortly after Easter, with the Men's and Women's First VIIIs returning to Oxford two weeks before the start of term to begin training. The women, under the watchful eye of Lawton Fage, had a successful week on the deserted Isis. Daily double outings provided an excellent grounding for potential First VIII members, and also gave valuable experience to a number of Second VIII rowers to take back to their crew once term began. Meanwhile the men were travelling daily from Oxford to the Thames at Shiplake, where expert technician Mark Lauder, old Hall man and Master in Charge of Rowing at Shiplake College, laid the crucial foundations for the term's training. A considerable amount of technical work was done, ironing out the problems that had been apparent in Torpids. The crew also had the opportunity to train alongside and race Shiplake First VIII, which proved to be a very useful experience so early in training. The end of an intensive week culminated in a five minute piece at race pace, and there was evidence of far more speed than we had produced in Torpids. This was followed by an excellent lunch at Leander with the Boat Club's President, Graham Midgley.

When term started, the rest of Teddy Hall took to rowing with considerable enthusiasm . This year the Hall entered six men's crews and four women's crews into Eights, involving ninety people of varying standards. This proved to be a larger turnout than any other college, and it was excellent to see so many people getting involved. Whilst most of these crews contended with the crowded state of the Isis, ROWING IN THE TRINITY TERM

80

the two senior boats moved up to the Godstow stretch in North Oxford. Following the pattern of recent years, the Women's First VIII were lucky enough to have Richard Fishlock as Chief Coach and co-ordinator. Richard organised a comprehensive training schedule and an excellent selection of coaches, including Kevin McWilliams, Luka Grubor and himself. Whilst the crew achieved the required level of fitness early on, they appeared to be lacking a convincing race pace for much of the term.

However, a last minute change of crew order solved this problem and proved to be very successful at Worcester Regatta on the Saturday before Eights. After an exciting day of racing, including two dead heats in the Senior 2 Division, the crew were rewarded with victory in Senior 3 - this excellent achievement was the first regatta win for the entire crew. This win provided them with the confidence necessary to enter Summer Eights focused on moving further up the First Division, from their starting position of ninth. On the Wednesday, they were unlucky to be chasing a fast Wadham crew, who rapidly bumped out, leaving the Hall chasing Somerville for the overbump. Despite decreasing the deficit by five lengths, they had to be content with a solid row over. The next three days were a happier story, with the crew bumping Brasenose and Somerville before Donnington Bridge on Thursday and Friday. On Saturday, St. Hilda's succumbed in the Gut, taking Teddy Hall Women's First VIII to a new high of sixth on the river.

Further triumph in the Women's Boat Club was provided by the Second VIII, who bumped University II, Christ Church II, St. John's II, and St. Hilda's II to win their Blades and take themselves to second position in the fourth division. This was an excellent performance, rewarding considerable commitment from the crew and their coaching team. The Women's Third VIII, despite lacking experience, also performed well and exceeded expectations.

While the Women's success was masterminded by Richard Fishlock, the Men's Boat Club also benefited enormously from the presence of a guru: Andrew Gowans, the Hall man and Goldie oarsman, gave up an enormous amount of his valuable time to provide a Chief Coach and mentor for the Men's First VIII for the first time. The task before him was considerable: to turn a disappointing Torpids crew, with no star oarsmen, into a crew capable of holding fifth position on the river. The crew were exceptionally committed, with no one missing an outing throughout the term. In return, Andrew imposed a punishing schedule of race pace pieces, teaching the crew how to race effectively and how to deal with the rough water. Progress was fairly slow at first, with a reasonable performance at Wallingford Regatta, but the crew began to pick up speed a fortnight before Eights, when they comprehensively thrashed University First VIII in a series of race length pieces. While towpath pundits were writing the crew off, we were gaining in confidence that we could match the speed of most of the boats in the first division. Wednesday was to be the biggest test, as the chasing Brasenose crew included two international-class Blues in an already fast crew. The Hall crew put up a very gutsy performance and held them off for considerably longer than they expected. However, it was not our cleanest row, and we were eventually caught just past O.U.B.C. To say that the crew were devastated does not nearly go far enough. However, Andrew re-instilled the necessary focus for us to produce three better rows in the rest of the week. On Friday and Saturday we closed down Brasenose to within a length, and rowed over six lengths clear of the rest of the

81

division. So, despite the disappointment of being bumped by the fastest crew in the division , Teddy Hall Men's First VIII did manage to prove, against most odds, that it is one of the six fastest crews on the river.

The Men's Second VIII once again suffered from the fact that they held a very high position on the river thanks to crews in previous years winning Blades. This year's crew, made up entirely of novices for the first time, were very committed and became very fit, but lacked consistent coaching. In the circumstances they were a remarkably good crew, but their lack of experience meant that they were caught by several college First VIIIs and suffered something of a slide in their division. Meanwhile, the Men's Third and Fourth VIIIs appeared to enjoy themselves, with both crews achieving at least one bump (even if they were bumped back the next day!). This year also saw the Syndicate on vintage form, achieving their ambition of becoming foot of the river amidst many celebrations! Unlike last year, The Syndicate also led the crowd in their vociferous support of the more serious boats, which provided a real boost: long may this co-operation continue!

After the excitement of Summer Eights and Boat Club Dinner, most of the Hall took a break from rowing. However, for the first time in several years, a number of Hall rowers mounted a Henley campaign. Strangely enough, four members of the Hall teamed up with this term's arch rivals, Brasenose, to form a composite eight to race at Marlow and Henley in the Temple Challenge Cup. David Phillips , Martin Thorneycroft and Clare Ormerod, the stern pair and cox of this year's Summer Eight, together with Richard Jackson, who has spent this year earning his Half Blue with the victorious Oxford Lightweights, joined five members of the Brasenose Summer VIII. Despite very different styles, the combination showed a considerable turn of speed.

This was demonstrated at Marlow, when, after only three outings together, the crew proceeded through three rounds to win Senior 3 Eights, and also performed well in the sprint regatta. As Marlow is arguably one of the most competitive domestic regattas , this was an impressive achievement, catching the attention of the Henley Stewards who decided that we would not be required to qualify for the Temple. The week following the end of term was spent training hard on the Radley stretch, waiting to see what the Henley draw would give us.

On the Wednesday of Henley, we lined up against Exeter University First VIII, and the winner was to go on to race Goldie on the Thursday. The start at Henley is marginally more frightening than the start of Summer Eights, but after a quarter of a mile we had a length's lead. The crew noticeably relaxed and the boat rowed beautifully as we drew away from Exeter to win by three and a half lengths in a time that was fast for the conditions. On Thursday evening, we raced a Goldie crew almost identical to that which had raced Isis on Boat Race Day: at Marlow this crew had only lost to the Oxford Blue Boat by a canvas. For us, it was a reversal of the previous day's race, as Goldie drew away to win by five lengths. The Hall-Brasenose crew raced hard, but were outclassed by a crew which should possibly not have been in the event. There was no shame in being defeated in this way, and Henley was an exciting venture which the crew enjoyed enormously. The amount of Hall support from the bank leads us to believe that it was also enjoyed by many spectating Old Aularians. On Thursday, one notable supporter of the Hall was the Principal, Sir Stephen Tumim.

We hope he enjoyed the Henley atmosphere and seeing the College represented at

82

Henley. Such SCR support for the Boat Club is very welcome, and we hope this relationship will continue to develop.

In conclusion, then, it has been an excellent year for the Women's Boat Club, with the Women's First VIII now in the same position on the river as the Men, and a good performance from the men at Henley leaves better memories than those of a rather disappointing Summer Eights. Only one College, Pembroke, has a higher aggregate position on the river for Men's and Women's First VIIIs, and this is definitely something the Hall can be proud of. The Men, with a lack of experienced oarsmen coming into the College, have had a tough job staying in the upper echelons of the First Divisions, but, thanks to Andrew Gowans, this has been achieved, and can be built on next year. Thanks to Richard Fishlock, the Boat Club now has a sponsor in Urenco, a Marlow- based company. This year, their generous financial support has been used to buy a much-needed set of Ultralight Big Blades for the Men's First VIII, which undoubtedly helped them to go faster in this year's Summer Eights.

Finally, the outgoing Captains, Martin Thorneycroft and Clare Ormerod, would like to wish the incoming Captains, Ben Grout, Thomas Doyle and Laura Shallcross, the very best of luck for the Club next year.

They would also like to thank all those who have coached or helped this year, particularly Andrew Gowans, Richard Fishlock, Mark Lauder, Chris Jones, Kevin McWilliams and Luka Grubor.

THE RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB

Captain: Dan Pawson who still think of the name Teddy Hall as synonymous with the game of rugby, I must impart the disturbing news that the 1st XV was once again beaten by the postgraduates of Keble in this year's Cuppers Competition. That said,

TO THOSE OF YOU

83

the record of Hall rugby in the 1996-97 season needs no apologies. One of the Club's hallmarks has been strength in depth, with an influx of committed and talented firstyears providing a bumper crop of players, and not a few administrative headaches.

This ensured that all Hall sides were always going to be competitive in their League fixtures and, by the end of Michaelmas Term, that precious winning momentum had been found. Thus the 2nd XV were able to win their League comfortably, whilst still fulfilling their pledge to give anybody a game who showed an interest. A series of crushing routs by the 1st XV left them runners-up in the first division, in a different class to those below them and in-touch with the impressive Keble winners.

The Cuppers Campaign could, therefore, be anticipated with some relish. Early promise was realised with a good win over a strong, if unfit, Old Boys team at the beginning of Hilary Term and consolidated by fruitful hours on the training pitch. It was not surprising then, that, Pembroke fell by the wayside in the first round, conceding 78 points without reply in monsoon conditions. Talent and fitness are nothing without heart and the team showed their true measure with an impressive 29-7 win over Exeter in the following week. The sense of deja-vu was undeniable as the team warmed-up in the Parks for the semi-final clash with Keble. Once again the game was close and, if the eventual margin was wider (8-18) the feeling on the touchline was that the Hall had acquitted itself even better than last year. The relatively diminutive Hall pack pushing the Iffley Road gargantuans of Keble over their own line for our only try was a wonderful sight. The lines of continuity continued with Keble smashing Brasenose again in the final.

Many will not get the chance to redress the balance next year. Club stalwarts such as Paul Anderton, Gaurav Pate!, Harry Oliver and Tom Llewelyn can all be proud of their contributions. Nick Grade! will also be leaving us, having developed over his four years at the Hall into a fine attacking wing or fullback . Three Iffley Road Titans sadly depart: Piers Prichard Jones (U21s Captain), Mike Butler (1995 Blue) and even a reformed tab, Ed Davies (Greyhounds). It is easy in the face of this determined exodus of talent, to feel disheartened about the season ahead. Never fear! The 'Lytham' duo of Car! Lavin and Richard Woodfine promise a new and exciting era. Next year's Old Boys' match looks set to be reminiscent of a Lions and Springboks clash!

The game of rugby has changed enormously over the past twelve months and even Teddy Hall has not remained unaffected. Next year"s College League structure will be infinitely more competitive and there is even talk of our own Hall postgraduate side on the way! Some of you will have received letters from the new Captain, Car! Lavin. I respectfully urge you to help if you can. The position of second place does not sit well on Hall shoulders, both past and present. We may be the best undergraduate team in the University but the hurdle of Keble remains. There is already a feeling in College that next year it will be cleared, and Teddy Hall RFC will return to its former glories. In the meantime may I thank my Vice-Captain, Sam Hollis, Secretary, Will Perry, and the whole Club for a committed, and above all, fun season.

THE ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL CLUB

Captain: Nigel Sudell

had a productive and enjoyable season this year with the 1st XI finishing 3rd in the first division and the 2nd XI runners-up. This was slightly marred by our seemingly annual disappointment in Coppers with both sides losing in the early stages.

An influx of foreigners (under the Bosman ruling) allowed us to field a brace of both Americans and Greeks with a flying Dutch/Indonesian/Columbian striker.

With an embarrassing number of forwards, last year's striker James Probert decided an emigration to sweeper would satisfactorily maintain his place in the side. His consequent linking with Robin Holgate provided some moments of champagne football of the highest quality, it also brought about some raw abuse from the ever vocal 'keeper, Craig Williams.

The first game was a Fresher dominated affair with two debutantes finding the net (Matt (40) Scase, Panos Dimitracopoulos) as we brushed aside Balliol3-0.

Before Christmas we only had a couple of unlucky defeats to Jesus and the heavy booted Keble leaving us with a record of P7 W4 Dl L2 Pts 13. This left us in the comfortable but not seriously threatening position of 4th.

Having a small chance of the title we crushed Exeter 5-1 notably the first goal for our only Blues player - Bob McBriar from the penalty spot. We continued on our search for glory with the tenacious Neil Gillespie holding rank in the centre of midfield and Alan McDougall pouncing on any defensive slip.

Our title chances came to an abrupt end when Hertford recorded a 3-0 defeat against a lethargic side. But our part in the outcome was not yet over, our last game against Corpus/Linacre was the League decider, they needed a point to win the League on goal difference and Jesus had offered us the (unnecessary) incentive of an hour's free beer in their bar (not that the football team drink at all!).

The return of Dan Cotton to the side for only his first full game was a welcome boost as we fielded our strongest side for the season. The result was a draw as Toby Van der meer (our leading goal scorer) grabbed a late but well deserved equaliser.

Many thanks to everyone upon whom I have called at the last minute to make up the side as well as all those who have been so dedicated and motivated throughout the season. Good luck to those who have moved on after 3,4 or more (Mat Golder) years of football and well done to those who have impressed in their first year, especially Panos Dimitracopoulos, George Tsikouras, Patrick Kelly who will be next year's Treasurer, and Matt (40) Scase to whom I pass the mantle of Captain with all its glory and responsibility.

With thanks for a great year.

THE SQUASH CLUB Captain: K. Johnson

to the year, i.e. a prompt departure from Cuppers, due to inadequate organisation, a new Captain ensured that the Teddy Hall Club did not disappear down into the lower divisions of the University League.

Strong performances from the Hall's best male and female players, Jim Hook and Me! Cumberland respectively, were ably supported by our other regulars, Luke Kerr and Mark Brewer. The end result being a steady position in the 2nd division, due to good team efforts from our enthusiastic players.

This year sees the departure of many players who have been the backbone of the squash team for the last four years. Jim Hook, Al Mordaunt and I make way for new members who shall, I'm sure, continue to produce strong squash teams within the Hall.

K.J. AFfER A BAD START

THE ICE HOCKEY CLUB Captain: M. Williams

Ice-hockey is not an entirely serious sport, more of a fun knock around than a full blown sport (although one American student did make the Blues team). The fact that the 'practices' are held at l2.30am on a Wednesday night contributes well to this, with most of the enthusiasm in Michaelmas Term culminating in Cuppers. Both are University run and take place at the ice rink. After our surprising but obviously well fought and deserved winning of Cuppers last year (1995), Teddy Hall returned to defend their title this year. Again we fielded 3-4 mixed teams of 6 nominally with a little reshuffling, and were also well supported at the sides with a strong Hall contingent, as ever with plenty of Hall spirit.

Though we started well in the early stages of the competition winning some matches, one by one each Teddy Hall team was knocked out, with the first team reaching the last 12 out of 50-60, beaten by a strong graduate team. There was some compensation for not winning in that all enjoyed themselves and we did outclass Queen's.

Thanks to all who played and supported. We shall return next year to regain our title and trophy.

Apart from at college level, St Edmund Hall bridge players have had a successful year. Luke Kerr captained Oxford to victory in the Varsity match, and also won the Douglass Trophy; the University pairs trophy. Tom Steer and Gareth Mckeever qualified for the Regional Final of the National Newcomers Pairs competition and came fifth, just missing out on entry to the National Final.

OVERALL, THE HALL came third in the team competition behind Merton and St. Hilda's. In the respective competitions three couples made it to the finals. Ildiko Taksz and Harald Braun won the jive competitions, Sandy van Hoogstraten and Ingrid Scheiblauer came fifth in the cha-cha, and Dr Maryanne Martin came fifth in the quickstep finals. Beyond these good results, I think, a much more impressive factor was that altogether twenty- four enthusiastic people danced for the Hall, representing the JCR, MCR and SCR. This was by far the largest number of participants among all colleges.

THE POOL CLUB Captain: M. Parish

at present includes players from all years, including two members of the University Team. In the Michaelmas League, three teams competed in different divisions. The third team finished second in division 4D but were not promoted in the play-offs. The second team also finished second in division 4B before being defeated by Trinity in the play-offs. The first team, comprising Dave Spence, Luke Kerr, Matthew Parish, Andy Hagan, James Moss-Gibbons and Dave Williams finished second in the first division to Exeter.

In Cuppers, a large number of representatives entered both the singles and doubles competitions. Despite being knocked out in the group stages of the team competition, there were some good individual performances in the other events, particularly in the later stages of the competition. Matt Parish and Andy Hagan reached the quarterfinals in the men's doubles, whilst Dave Spence and Luke Ken¡ were forced to pull out of the competition after the quarter-finals due to time restrictions.

THE JOHN OLD HAM SOCIETY President: Alice Fowler AFrER LYING DORMANT for two years the John Oldham Society has been revived for a production of The Changeling by Thomas Middleton in the crypt on the 4th, 5th and 6th of July. This is in keeping with the growing tradition of the crypt as a distin-

guished venue for Jacobean revenge tragedy. The first night was sold out and the whole production a great success. There are plans for a festival of Medieval Mystery Drama in Michaelmas Term of 1998.

THE CLOSET CHRONICLE 1997 HAS BEEN an enjoyable year within the Hall. The amount of gossip and general hilarity has been mirrored in two editions of the Closet Chron. The first edition was hailed as a great success - with stories informing undergraduates of rumoured prosthetic testicles, and of Second Years dancing naked in the privacy of their own rooms, when all the residents of Marston Street were in fact privy [sic] to such displays, to their apparent horror.

Unfortunately, these reports proved to be accurate, and this unfortunate oversight resulted in the Chron being torn down from the backs of the Hall's toilet doors.

Twice.

With finals in sight, the second edition became a somewhat more sombre affair, yet it provoked the usual anguish from those whose malfeasance had not been reported.

Unfortunately, this year, an edition of a publication declaring itself to be the 'Closet Clone-ical' reared its ugly headlines, and in so doing, it forsake humour for vitriol, and unlike the Chron, sought to disenchant undergraduates with their choice of college. The current editors of the Chron would like to take this opportunity to distance themselves from this scurrilous publication, and to express distaste at its attempts to alienate a section of undergraduate members - something which simply cannot be condoned.

The new editors of the Chron have given assurances that their reporting will continue to promote the Hall from within, and of course laud the robust and challenge the foolhardy.

Auntie Chron looks forward to the academic year 1997/1998, and looks forward to expounding intrigue to its sedentary readership next Michaelmas.

THE MAGAZINE WOULD LIKE TO PILLORY the following Clubs and Societies who have failed to submit reports despite firm but polite requests. We do not know whether laziness, modesty or illiteracy lies behind their silence. We hope our successor has more success.

Athletics; Basketball; Chess; Christian Union; Cricket; Cross Country ; Darts; Fencing; Men's Hockey; Lacrosse; Music Society; Netball; Portia Society; Women's Squash; Tennis (both men's and women's) .

It is a disgraceful list of idleness. We have some details from other sources, but do not guarantee their total accuracy: Men's Hockey:

HURRICANE FRAN AND MARKETING FOR NON-PROFIT ORGANISATIONS, OR SPECIAL LEAVE IN NORTH CAROLINA

a melange of sounds: the insistent whir of an airconditioner; the continual but irritatingly erratic chirrup of crickets; then, the chimes of Big Ben and a received standard voice saying,"This is the BBC World Service. Here is the news at twelve hundred hours Greenwich Mean Time." This could be a description of daybreak in an outpost of former Empire, but, unexpectedly, and most pleasantly, it takes place in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, US of A. Thus for me began each day while I was on special leave teaching in the School of Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina.

Well, not quite every day. There were the four days in the wake of hurricane Fran, time out of mind, in every way. No electricity. Food, even in an American fridge, went bad. But there was gas which enabled me to live on tinned (oops, canned) food.

My condo ("executive, short-stay accommodation, complete with services") was tucked in on a hillside amongst the shade of trees, blessedly against the heat, but, in this situation, cursedly against the light: when I wanted to read or write or draw, I had to chase the sun from room to room, or squint by candlelight. There was also no water, or, rather, no water pure enough to drink, but again, gas was my saviour, and boiled water made tea or coffee and brushed teetb. Day Four and you could see it on every face, "How long, Lord, how long?" And at about 4:30 that afternoon the answer came with a surge of lights and radios and TVs. The cheers that went up in my neighbourhood matched any I had heard during tbe university football games.

I indeed, lived on a hillside, but the only ways into campus were all uphill for a mile or so: 1 in 5 or 1 in 10 or, along the Brook Trail, slightly downhill, leading one into a false sense of security, and then up 1 in 5. Having no car, I chose the 1 in 10 route in and the 1 in 5 home, improving my aerobic fitness to the point where I could, just to prove it occasionally, do the 1 in 5 into campus at a steady rate.

And it is a beautiful campus: Colonial brick architecture with a few, not too carbuncley modern concrete buildings; tree-lined paths among well-tended lawns (which one is allowed, nay, encouraged, to walk, lie, tumble, play, picnic on); The Pit, a central point for the focus of student activities in which student groups proselytise and ministers evangelise, and around which cluster the Union, the Student Stores, and the Libraries; and the Arboretum, through which I walked twice every day, rarely EARLY MORNING BRINGS

89

taking the same path, which offers floral subtropical colours in the Summer, and crisp, sun-crowned browns in the Autumn.

Once on campus, I divided my time between my research into the writing of the Late Roman Republican poet, Gaius Valerius Catullus, my investigations into the operations of relational databases in recording antiquarian and special collections, and teaching graduates Marketing for Non-Profit Organizations [sic]. Used as I am to the Oxford system of tutorial teaching, I was concerned whilst preparing this course as to how I might best convey a practical, hands-on approach to American students, who expect classes in which they discuss the last chapters read, where the professor speaks slowly enough for detailed notes to be taken, and where lateral thinking is only found in a book by Edward DeBono. I decided that the best way would be to plunge them in at the deep end by asking in the very first class for an analysis of an example of advertising that was the result of a very badly formed marketing plan.

So, to concerned frown s alternating with uncertain smiles, I walked into the classroom wearing half glasses, my MA gown, very short, multicolored shorts, a sleeveless bright orange blouse, large round orange earrings, a Teddy Hall baseball cap, Reebok trainers, and sunglasses. After distributing all of the first-d ay-of- class handouts, I asked "Right, I am an advertisement that is the result of a poor marketing strategy. Dressed as I am, what do you think the company which formulated the plan is trying to convey to you?" Broad grins of relief spread across all faces: Phew! She's not a very eccentric feminist, just a prof. with an odd approach .

For the first half of the semester, with varying levels of resistance, the members of my class fought this "odd approach", findin g no attraction in the creative thinking that is at the core of modern strategic business planning. But as they participated in workshops and prepared their team projects, they, all but one, came round, and produced reports of such quality that the Dean of the School took two of them to a national conference of public librarians as an example of the special subjects offered at the UNC School of Information and Library Science.

This, combined with my being invited to give a University public lecture on my research into the poems of Catullus, and my discovering that the way I am developing the use of relational databases for libraries is in line with the methods being adopted by the Library of Congress, made my special leave successful beyond my expectations.

Deborah Hayward Eaton Librarian 30.06.97 THE AULARIAN COLLECTION for the books and articles donated to the Aularian Collection came to a head last year when all allocated shelf space became full, and when a further ten pamphlet boxes had to be provided to house articles. As Librarian, I would not countenance curtailing in any way donations to the Collection; I have indeed urged that more Aularians make donations of their work: it represents an important record of the many and various activities of Aularians after they have left the University, and how much this is so can be seen from the list presented below of this

year's donations. More, the Aularian Collection is a modern continuation of the tradition instituted in the late 17th century by Thomas Tullie (Principal 1658-76), which lapsed in the 18th century, that members on going out of residence should give books or silver to the Hall to the value of ÂŁ5.

Tell Me What You would Like to See as the Aularian Collection's Future A poster was hung prominently as part of the Aularian Collection display in the Library in St Peter-in- the-East during this year's Summer Reunion; copies were also circulated to each room in the Hall where Aularians were staying. It read, "The Aularian Collection; what should its future be?" And the following alternatives were presented: Either Keep expanding although there is no shelf space left, and look for alternative locations or 2

Establish a Perpetual Hand-list (paper and electronic) of all publications now in collection and those added in the future and then:

3

Selectively withdraw books of deceased Aularians after consultation with the relevant Fellows about transferring appropriate items to the open shelves of the undergraduate library or of the Old Library.

Members were then invited to jot down their comments on a sheet of paper supplied. The few who responded to this ad hoc mini-survey said that they would prefer that the collection as a whole would not be lost, but that if this did have to happen, then a perpetual hand-list was a very good idea.

In order to be sure that I present to the Governing Body a case for the future of the Aularian Collection which reflects as much as possible the desires of the Aularians, I would like to hear from a greater number of you than just those who responded during the Summer Reunion. Therefore anyone of you who has a preference or any other suggestions about the Collection, please write, telephone, fax or e-mail me at the address below; I very much want to hear from you: Deborah Hayward Eaton, Librarian, St Edmund Hall, Queen's Lane, Oxford.
