REPORT OF THE TWENTIETH ANNUAL MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATION SF SENIOR MEMItEELS MHE Meeting was held at Holywell Manor on Saturday, June 23rd, 1945, I. the Principal in the Chair. The following members were present: Miss Adam, Dr. Ady, Miss Beese, Miss Chattaway, Miss Fowle, Mrs. Hardie, Miss Hobbs, Miss Lefroy, Miss Lemon, Miss McKenna, Miss Martin-Hurst, Miss Moller, Miss Perham, Miss Procter, Miss Seaton, Mrs. Snow, Miss Talbot, Mrs. Trotman.

The Chairman in her statement gave the cheering news that there was good prospect of the return of the College to its own buildings not later than Hilary Term 1946. The release of Miss Gray, Fellow and Tutor of the College, from Government work was also expected by the same date. Miss Glover had resigned her Fellowship in order to continue the work in connexion with industrial welfare on which she was now engaged. The period of undergraduate residence was no longer curtailed, although annual reports on the progress of each undergraduate were still asked for by the Government.

Postgraduate residence for purposes of research was now allowed, and the College looked forward to having research students once more. Undergraduates and candidates already accepted by the College were applying to come into residence on their release from national service. Preference was being given to applications from Scholars and Exhibitioners and from State Scholars. A special examination was being arranged by the Women's Colleges for ex-national service candidates seeking admission to the University in the coming academic year. The recently opened Endowment Fund was attracting further gifts, including from Mrs. Snow, and ÂŁ60 from Miss Dolphin.

The gift of ÂŁ500 from an anonymous donor for research had been used to augment the Elizabeth Wordsworth Studentship. The Chairman ended by saying that the date of her retirement was approaching and that the Annual Meeting of 1946 would probably be the last over which she will preside.

The result of a contested election to the Council was the return of Lady Moberly (G. Gardner) for three years (Lady Moberly Io6 votes, Miss D. McKenna, 68 votes). The Membership of the Association rose from 653 to 691 during the year.

THE PRINCIPAL'S LETTER T\ EAR Miss Lemon, It is very pleasing to be writing to you from the proper address, and since it is my last Annual Letter to the Editor of the

Chronicle, to address it from Holywell Manor would have been a disappointment indeed.

First, let me thank you in the name of all members of our Association for taking on the editorship when Mrs. Jalland found herself obliged to leave Oxford owing to her husband's appointment as Lecturer in Theology in the University College of the South-West, Exeter. Your devotion to the College

7

and experience in such compilations as are required for our periodical are assets one could hardly expect to find in such full measure ready to hand a second time. The expansion of the issue to over thirty pages is a fine send-off to your editorship.

As to our return, we had uncertainty hanging over us all through the Long Vacation, and then at a few weeks' notice (with promises of help in the struggle which did not all 'come off') were obliged to remove ourselves, our furniture and our books, into a College which needed cleansing in every corner, filled with broken furniture and worn-out equipment, and the essential services in dangerous disarray. Ready in a month ? The first feeling of all who looked on the spectacle was of utter incredulity, but, by a feat of organization for which the Bursar deserves the greatest credit, it proved just possible to receive students 'not earlier than 2 p.m.' on October i3th (the first day of Term). A hundred helpers, miscellaneous in character and antecedents, had been gathered together, including German p.o.w. who proved effective cleaners, undergraduates and domestic workers of every grade, while electricians, plumbers, and emissaries of the War Office intent on their own mysterious business, threaded their way among the rest. All our buildings, with the exception of part of the Mary Gray Allen Wing and the Moberly block, which were themselves newer and perhaps were treated with more care than the rest, urgently need re-decoration, and the Council has decided to refuse all Conferences and Vacation Courses this summer in order to get it done and also to give adequate opportunity for the demolition of the brick wards now ranged over the garden. The garden itself, even when cleared, will take years to recover. Professor Cairns, the brain specialist in charge of St. Hugh's Hospital, worked miracles of surgery, and the Hospital was visited by distinguished medical men from all over the world. It is 'this picture' rather than 'that' that we must 'look on' when tempted to be dismayed by our own problems. We are thankful to have been of use to the nation and to Service personnel suffering from head wounds, and proud that such advances in brain surgery should have been made at St. Hugh's Hospital.

The Chapel, which I am glad to say had been used by Chaplains and worshippers of various denominations, had its first College Celebration on the Sunday following St. Hugh's Day, when Dr. Hone, till lately Bishop of Wakefield, came to us. Our sense of being fully at home again awaited this climax, and the College goes on joyfully into its new future.

The Librarian reports that our 'treasures', deposited under the wing of Bodley's Librarian in some secret fastness, have safely returned. With characteristic courtesy she made it her aim during the occupation of the College to put the Library at the service of the studious among patients and orderlies. Warm appreciation and some delightful gifts have resulted. All must share her hope that the restricted paper supply will soon be a thing of the past, and English and foreign books begin again to flow on to the shelves which have so long waited in vain.

There have been a few changes on the Council since last year. Dr. C. S. Orwin, who has retired to his country home and can no longer attend regularly, has to our great regret resigned his seat as a co-opted member, and Sir Frederick Ogilvie, Principal of Jesus College, has been elected as an extraordinary member. Dr. Busbridge, known to ten generations of mathematical students in Oxford, has been elected to an Official Fellowship.

Miss Glover, to whom her war service has given a keen interest in factory 8•

conditions, has resigned her Fellowship in order to accept an appointment on the staff of the Institute of Industrial Psychology. Miss Gray returned to the College in October from Washington. Her services as temporary Assistant Secretary, the Board of Trade, have been recognized by the well-deserved honour of the O.B.E. in the New Year's List. Mrs. Martin Clarke, who was given sabbatical leave for two terms at the end of the war, writes happily from the United States where she is visiting Colleges and delivering courses of lectures.

The Council has under ,consideration as I write a revision in the scale of stipends to be paid to its Officers and other persons in its employ, and in the fees to be paid by undergraduates in residence, from October 1946 onwards.

Careful administration of the Tuition Fund has enabled the College to meet the increased cost of tuition received from tutors in other Societies in the University (where fees have already been raised) for 1945-6, but this reserve fund will not last longer. Warning of the impending change was given in January to all parents of undergraduates in residence, and to candidates for admission to the College in October next. The number of candidates exceeds all records, and with the addition of returned 'Shortened Course' graduates, ex-service women entitled to Government grants, and the graduates of other universities all over the world who now hope to fulfil the long-cherished hope of further study at Oxford, the problem becomes almost insoluble. Exservice women have had special consideration given to them in the form of a special examination in the summer of 1945, to be repeated in the summer of this year (with a reservation of five places). They were also encouraged, if demobilized before November 1st, 1945, to sit for the ordinary College Scholarship and Entrance Examination in March 1946. Conferences between high-ranking officers of the three auxiliary Services, Principals and tutorial representatives of the five Women's Societies, were held in the winter, with helpful advice available on both sides, and a high level of candidates is expected to result. But accommodation outside the College, and service and fuel both within and without, are very scarce still. The derequisitioning of houses proceeds slowly, their setting in order more slowly still.

The present complexity of both financial and domestic administration has caused the Council to revert to an arrangement which was modified in 1932 (in favour of a combination of the two offices), viz. a division of labour between Treasurer and Bursar and the re-institution of the former nonresident Office. Senior members of the earlier period will not forget what the College owes to the work of the late Dr. Cronshaw, Dr. Radclyffe, and Mr. Lyon, former Treasurers; but I am glad to be able to report that Miss Thorneycroft's experience now qualifies her for full responsibility in the financial field; while the new Administrative Office of Bursar is to be limited to internal management. Miss Mason, who joined the bursarial staff in 1941 and became Assistant Bursar last year, has been appointed Bursar, and it is generally expected that this development will strengthen and continue the high reputation enjoyed by the College for its success in both the financial and the domestic spheres.

I am looking forward greatly to our first post-war Gaudy, and hope that many Senior Members on war service will have been released by that time and will come to my farewell. They know that the engrossing interests, the firm and energetic support, and the friendly relationships, which from the date of my appointment in 1924 have given me so much happiness, will not be 9

forgotten in my retirement, and as a Life Member of the Association the doings of every fellow-member will still count with me as of the first importance. We shall continue to be and to feel part of a single family. I shall not, therefore, say good-bye to the Association, but shall prepare to join with you in welcoming its new Chairman, whose period of office will begin on August 1st.

It is with sad but proud appreciation that we shall consider the proposal to be made by Dr. Evans at the Annual Meeting in June—how best to commemorate our departed 'by enemy action'. If I can help in any way to set forward this act of remembrance I shall greatly value the privilege.

With kindest regards, Yours sincerely, March 1946 B. E. GWYER.

BENEFACTIONS ON the Council's behalf I have acknowledged with grateful thanks the following gifts made since the last issue of the Chronicle: From a Senior Member remaining anonymous, 5oo for purposes of research.

This has been added to the endowment of the Elizabeth Wordsworth Studentship.

From Mrs. Snow (1922-6), roo for the Endowment Fund.

From Miss Dolphin (1929-33), ÂŁ6o for the Endowment Fund.

Under the Will of the late Margaret Bixby (1928-30), 471 for 'the scholarship fund of the College'.

B. E. G.

ST. MARGARET'S HOUSE, POST-WAR TIKE other more celebrated institutions, St. Margaret's House has been

making some plans for 'after the war'. Some of these we hope may be carried out in the not too distant future, and we welcome this opportunity to tell you of them.

During the war the House took on a number of emergency jobs (rest-centre work, help with evacuation, work for the Soldiers', Sailors' & Airmen's Families Association) the need for which has disappeared. We are, however, anxious to maintain on war-time activity the Citizens' Advice Bureau, for it has become a permanent part of our work for the neighbourhood. Its maintenance will, however, be difficult financially if the Ministry of Health grant, which ceases at the end of March, is not replaced by help from other sources.

We hope that the Town Hall which has used the C.A.B. continuously will give us the necessary support.

Our club work we feel demands more than the maintenance of our existing clubs. During the war we have been able to keep all the existing groups from Toddlers to the Old Age Pensioners' Cozy Club' running. We are faced with the problem of making them still more useful by trying to meet the needs of every age group. At present we cannot boast a proper club ladder. Some of the most important rungs are missing. Thus there is no club for boys over zd

14 until they qualify for the Mixed Club at x6 plus. There are no 'Fathers Clubs', and there is no Mixed Club for young people over 21. The potential club members are there but we just have no accommodation to offer them.

As it is our present clubroom is shared by every existing group, and this is hard on members and leaders alike. The children in particular need at least one properly equipped room of their own. All this points to expansion.

There is a possibility that St. Margaret's could acquire the house next door, which has a garden adjoining ours, at the end of which is a burnt-out factory.

Now the factory could convert into excellent club-rooms, and the house might well be used for additional students and workers. These would probably be of the opposite sex, since a man club leader is already badly needed and would be indispensable under the new regime.

Such plans as these are of course tentative and may have to be modified by events. What is clear is that if St. Margaret's is to play a full part in building up a happier and more self-reliant Bethnal Green it must itself be sufficiently many-sided to attract neighbours of all ages. It must also be sufficiently secure financially to be able to plan with confidence for the years ahead. We look to all our most generous supporters to help us to realize our dreams.

STELLA PENLEY

THE JUNIOR COMMON ROOM MHE activities of St. Hugh's as a community have been limited by the prolonged separation of its members in Holywell Manor, Savile House, and the various college houses. Third years, living in splendid isolation, were viewed with something like distrust by freshers when they made their infrequent visits to the Manor for J.C.R. meetings. There was a consequent lack of understanding of each other's problems and proposals in these meetings which made the task of a war-time President an unwieldy one, and even the academic comradeship and enthusiasm of the College were to some extent imperilled by the unfamiliarity of the names on the Honours List and the comparative inaccessibility of the Library, our one remaining foothold in St. Hugh's, during the war.

May 1945, when peace returned to a tortured Europe, will remain gloriously in the memory of all who had the good fortune to be in Oxford at the time.

St. Hugh's rejoiced, under the benevolent eye of the S.C.R., and there is not one of us who will not remember as long as she lives the spirit of goodwill and joy which filled the College and united it still more firmly with the whole University on that day of sunshine and showers, breakfasts in boats on the peaceful Cher., greeting from undergraduate to undergraduate, known and unknown, thanksgiving made with all England at the three o'clock broadcast, and a more personal thanksgiving for the peace that had never been disturbed, as the hymn of praise rose in college chapels. Then a night of bonfires and singing, of dancing on Magdalen Bridge under the soaring, floodlit spires, and of weary, contented home-coming on the first starlit night of peace.

The Michaelmas Term was a memorable one for the J.C.R., none of whom, excepting perhaps those few whom we were proud to welcome back at that time from the Forces, had known our own College building. Herculean labour made the College habitable in an incredibly short space of time, and II

though huts and passages could not be torn out of the once lovely gardens, nor a faint hospital odour removed from the central regions (now fortunately used as a surgery), yet St. Hugh's is once more a gracious and friendly building in which nearly all the members of the J.C.R. are housed. Grateful as we were in our exile for the mellow, sheltering walls of the Manor, it is only now, reinstated after that exile, that we know the fullness of pride in the words: `Our college, St. Hugh's.'
