EDITO IAL NOTE

ivE should like to offer our congratulations to Miss Procter on her appointment as the fourth Principal of St. Hugh's, and to welcome her as the new Chairman of the Association of Senior Members. We had meant to have her photograph as the frontispiece to this number of the Chronicle but this has not been possible, and we hope it will be in the next issue. Miss Procter, who was a student at Somerville, was placed in the First Class in the Final Honour School of Modern History in 1918. She was History Mistress at St. Felix School, Southwold, 1919-21, and then returned to Somerville as the Mary Somerville Research Fellow. In 1925 she was appointed Tutor in History and in 1926 a Fellow of St. Hugh's College, and was a University Lecturer in Medieval European History from 1933 to 1939. She is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and has a number of publications to her credit. We wish her all happiness and success in her new office.

REPO11T OF THE TWENTY-]FIRST ANNUAL MEETING OF SENIOR MEM IERS HE Meeting was held in the Mordan Hall, St. Hugh's College, on Saturday, July 6th, 1946, the Principal in the Chair. One hundred and forty-three members were present. The Chairman in her statement referred to the raising of Students' fees made necessary by the increase both in the cost of maintenance and in the tuition fees charged in the University. The new fees, ÂŁ187. los. per annum, would come into force in M.T. 1946 for all the Women's Colleges. A new scale of Tutorial Stipends was about to be introduced, fixed in amount and rising by instalments, and the stipends of other College Officers had been raised. The responsibility now assumed by the Ministry of Education for increasing the value of College Scholarships in order to enable a Scholar to take advantage of an award was a step in advance, but College Scholarships must not be less than 4o in order to benefit by the scheme. Recent benefactions to the College included 7c)o to the Bazeley Fund from two Senior Members, a gift from the anonymous founder of the Endowment Fund which would make possible a second Jubilee Scholarship, a statue of the foundress, Dame Elizabeth Wordsworth, being the Principal's parting gift to the College, a silver bowl from Dr. Evans, and a silver tea-tray for use in the S.C.R. from Miss Chattaway. The meeting heard with regret that Miss Fowle was laying down the office of Principal's Secretary which she had held for twenty-one years. Among recent appointments of Members of the Association were those of M. Macdonald as Lecturer in History, 0. Davison as Lecturer in German, and Mrs. Geach as a Research Fellow, all at Somerville College. Miss Chattaway was going to Australia as Chief Assistant in the Forestry Department of Scientific and Industrial Research. The Principal concluded by expressing her satisfaction that she would be succeeded by Miss Procter, well known to the Association as tutor, historian, and administrator.

The election of Miss Herma Fiedler as a Member of Council was announced. Miss E. Lemon was elected Editor of the Chronicle and congratulated on the appearance of the eighteenth number for which she had been responsible as Acting Editor. On the motion of Dr. Evans it was agreed to appoint a Committee of five to consider a form of memorial for the eight members of the College who had lost their lives through enemy action. On the motion of Dr. Ady, Miss M. D. Weston, Student of St. Hugh's Hall, 1891-4, and Miss S. Mason, Bursar of the College, were made Hon. Members of the Association. On the proposal of Miss Thorneycroft, Mrs. Gough, for nine years Assistant Bursar, was also made an Hon. Member. At the conclusion of the meeting the Secretary, on behalf of 290 members of the Association and other old students, handed a cheque to the Principal together with a book containing the names of subscribers. She spoke of the appreciation shown of Miss Gwyer's work for the College no less by members belonging to a period before her Principalship than by those who had been undergraduates under her, and asked her to accept this parting present as a token of affection and gratitude. The Principal in returning thanks assured the members of the Association that her interest in their doings would in no way diminish when she ceased to be their Chairman. Presentation Fund.

EPO T OF GAUDY, 1946 HAT over zoo Senior Members came to it is proof of the pleasure with which all members received the news that the College was holding a T Gaudy as soon as possible after the war. The Mordan Hall was packed for the Business Meeting and the presentation to Miss Gwyer which is reported above, and the unsightly buildings on the lawn were quite unnoticed by the crowd who had tea and ices, and exchanged news outside the J.C.R. after the meeting. To arrange for so many people to dine when the Hall has space for about 150 only must (and did) give a great deal of work to Miss Fowle, Miss Beere, Miss Thorneycroft, and Miss Mason, but the idea of a buffet supper in the Mordan Hall for those who applied last for places solved the problem, and chairs between the tables in Hall for them after dinner made it possible for all to hear the speeches. Miss M. J. Sargeaunt in proposing the toast of 'The Association and Senior Members' spoke of their feeling of deep thankfulness for meeting in a College undamaged and not too much bespattered by war and for celebrating the 8

coming of age of the Association in the traditional manner; they were grateful to the Principal and College for making it possible. She acknowledged the great debt they owed the Principal as Chairman of the Association since its foundation. Individuals must feel gratitude for the interest she always showed and for her wise counsel so understandingly and generously given to all. Miss Gwyer had been heard to describe herself as a gossipâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a good Anglo-Saxon word meaning godparentâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and she seemed to be a godparent to all of them and not to cut them off when, if ever, they reached years of discretion. Miss Ady and Mrs. Jalland had earned their thanks for doing so much for the Association during the dark days. In those days the Chronicle had been a great comfort and the List of Senior Members very welcome. The thoughts at this first meeting since the war, and the last with Miss Gwyer in the Chair, lay too deep for utterance, and the links binding so goodly a fellowship were best invisible. Educated women must play a big part in the making of a new world and it indeed seemed sad that it should have taken two wars to bring anything like real recognition of this. Miss Campbell James in responding said she could only explain the honour done to her in asking her to reply by mentioning 'the lost generation'. This was only the second time that she had dined in Hall and there were members who had never done so. A war generation knew the College from people rather than from buildings. The presence of some of its representatives and the invitation to her to speak showed that the Association accepted them and did not think them outcasts, and she hoped they had learnt that they were indeed members of St. Hugh's College. It was a curious life at Holywell Manor, Savile House, &c., with its scattered existence, bicycling up the Banbury Road to tutorials with the Library so far off. The Manor was pleasant to live in but it was not St. Hugh's. There were compensations, however; for example, a Tutor might be wafted off at short notice to the Board of Trade, and for recreation one washed up in the British Restaurant, took difficult children for walks, drove and taught boys to drive tractors. On becoming a Senior Member there was found to be wide choice of employment; one might teach, be hustled into a Ministry or into the Services, but one never got away from St. Hugh's College. She herself was inspected in the Middle East by Chief Commander James, the head of the Women's Section of the Army Education Corps, which was largely derived from St. Hugh's College. They did peculiar things in the A.E.C. but Miss Gwyer would not be ashamed of them. It was curiously comforting to find St. Hugh's people waving the flag in different parts of the world. The important thing to emphasize was that however much they missed not being in College they were one with all St. Hugh's, and they still felt they had come back. She hoped the Association would continue to flourish. The Chairman of Council (the Registrar of the University) in proposing the toast of 'The College coupled with the name of Miss Gwyer' said: THIS is a notable occasion in the history of the College. We are, in the first place, celebrating the survival of the College from the war. On the outbreak of the war, the College buildings, as you all know, were requisitioned for use as a head-injuries hospital. This was an important contribution to the war effort; but it might easily have led to the disruption of the College. It did, in fact, lead to the disruption of a good deal of the College furniture at the hands of the military, who are, so I am told, a notoriously unladylike body. That it 9

did not lead to the disruption of the College, we owe to the wisdom and devotion of the Principal and Fellows and to the good sense of the undergraduates. It is not without significance that we choose this way of celebrating our survival. This is an iconoclastic age—or to use the more elegant modern term, a debunking age; and one of the English habits which it is fashion to debunk is that loyalty to institutions—the family, the school, the College— which has been so potent an influence in moulding the national character. Whatever its critics may say of the English character, it has at any rate proved its survival value, and I rejoice that the members of the College should at once revive this symbol of their loyalty. But what must be uppermost in the minds of all of us this evening is that besides celebrating the end of the war we are doing honour to the retiring Principal after twenty-two years of unsurpassed devotion to the College. It is always difficult for people in authority to know what their juniors think of them. I remember that a few weeks after returning to Oxford as Registrar, when I was still under forty, and not yet conscious of being particularly decrepit, I was met at the bottom of the Registry stairs by a young man who said to me: `Excuse me, sir, but can you tell me where I can borrow a gown to go and see the bally old Registrar ?' Now, when he was shown, properly habited, into my room a few minutes later, I got the distinct impression from a rather sheepish expression which spread over his face that he had not previously known to whom he was speaking. There was nothing personal in his remark; he was just generalizing, justly, no doubt, as to the bally, but as to the old, perhaps with less certainty. If I cannot guess what that candid young man really thought about me, still less could I hazard a guess about what young women undergraduates have thought about the Principal. But I do feel certain that no undergraduate—or Fellow, or Member of the Council for that matter—ever went to see her intending to speak anything but the exact truth, or to treat a serious subject flippantly, or, least of all, to indulge in humbug. Those propositions will be recognized by the logicians among you as having all the certainty of a syllogism in Barbara. It is not, therefore, my intention to-night to talk humbug. I am not going to pretend that on the 1st of August—the day after the Principal's retirement —the College is going to begin falling into decay. Indeed, the success with which it bears the shock—wrench would be a better word—of her retirement will be a measure of her achievement as Principal, of whether she has built a structure sound enough to bear any shocks that may come to it in the course of nature. As a matter of fact, we know for the best of all possible reasons that her work will emerge triumphantly from the test, because she has never been content to accept either from herself or from other people anything short of the best that they can give. But this exacting standard does not make her harsh or inaccessible. Many undergraduates, and others, too, have had reason to feel gratitude to her for her sympathy with their weaknesses: not that she pretends that weakness of any kind is a virtue or that its consequences can be escaped in any way except one ; no one in trouble ever had need to feel afraid to go to her for help or counsel. She has the rare art of combining the role of candid critic with that of warm-hearted friend. And thus she has played her part in compounding that love of the College which is its very life-blood. Nor will I pretend that, deprived of the daily comfort of our society, Miss Gwyer will herself fall into a decline. She has a mind too richly stored and a 10

character too robust for anything so feeble as that. We all know what is meant by a ripe old age. We all know how much a country which is throbbing like ours with new life owes to the retired and old people in its midst for the maintenance of its sanity, its rectitude, and of the things which make life gracious. It is on the threshold of an old age of that kind that we take leave of Miss Gwyer to-night in her official capacity as Principal. She is not, then, really retiring from active life: she is only changing from one sort of happy and useful activity to another. But, of course, no one could leave St. Hugh's without poignant regrets. Recall the feelings with which you yourselves went down for good. St. Hugh's is indeed a College—I speak from experience—with which anyone must be proud to be associated even in the humblest capacity. The struggle for the higher education of women is an epic story. The fight was none the less stirring for having been won by wise strategy rather than by force. There were, of course, some Amazons on the side of the women, and among the men a number of old women. Less than due honour would be done to St. Hugh's if we did not in this connexion recall the memory of one doughty champion no longer with us who believed that diplomacy and strategy were all the better for a little force behind them. Now, though the champions are one by one leaving the field, their spirit lives. No more than thirty years ago, St. Hugh's was an intruder in the sacred circle of Oxford Colleges, tolerated because of its insignificance. To-day it commands an undisputed equality with the proudest of the old foundations. The Principal replied: WHEN I was young my brothers and I were very fond of a Punch drawing which portrayed a dinner-party of men silently digesting the climax of a very tall story till a quiet man says: Will somebody pass the salt, please ?' I think we should help ourselves at this moment to a few grains each. I have often looked at my face in the glass, but it doesn't seem quite to accord with all that has been said about me in the preceding speeches. I should more correctly be described as the last of the amateur Principals. I did, it is true, get my degree by examination, but it is no use pretending that your retiring Principal ever published any research, ever worked in a Government Department, or sat on a Royal Commission, or indeed ever did anything whatever except play the modest violet. (Even the one point of superiority—that I had held appointments previous to this one in two other Universities—is now taken from me by the Principal of St. Anne's.) All the other women Principals have done great things, and my successor is worthy to join them. Compared with such, you see before you a nobody! But nobodies, like mongrel dogs, have a way of getting themselves loved ; all through to-day I have felt that, and have valued it more than I can say. What it means is that we are moving out of the adolescent stage of Women's College life in Oxford. We produce among our Heads and Fellows women whose achievements place them on a level with the men who by their experience, richly placed at our disposal, have helped us till now, and continue to help us. I don't think even the most conservative of our male colleagues now feel they can do without the women. We see women more and more on University Bodies; and at our table to-night, there is that most distinguished member of her Faculty and our Professorial Fellow, Dr. Ida Mann, while Miss Headlam-Morley is deputy during his absence for the Montagu Burton Professor of International Relations. II

I am very glad that earlier speakers have referred to our contributions to educational advance. It is a matter of great pride to me that leading figures in the educational world are members of our Society, and particularly of late that they have turned to us in the A.T.S. for guidance in educational work there. Mrs. James, Miss Grutter, and Miss Campbell James have proved their worth to admiration. Education is a unity. Whether on the academic, the secondary, the primary, the 'adult', or the 'modern' level, not one of us is before or after other in the work. If this occasion is the end of a certain phase of our development, it is worth while to look back over the last twenty-two years. It does seem to me that momentum has increased, and the war has not delayed it at all. Our difficulties were a challenge, and the undergraduates and my dear colleagues did rise to it in a way that is a strength for the future. I had a very great respect for the undergraduate body during that period. Things were not easy; attempts at undue coercion from outside were resisted steadily and under the voluntary principle they achieved as much 'war work' as anybody else in their position. Before the war came, our buildings had advanced by two more stagesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the Mary Gray Allen Wing and the Moberly Block are subjects of great pride. The Library is the envy of all who see it. A deputation from Newnham arrived recently, and I urged upon them the desirability of consulting our architect, Mr. Herbert Buckland, when deciding upon their own plans for extension.' Keeping the Library was an inestimable advantage during our exile, and we owe a great debt to our Librarian, who throughout was able to place everything at the full disposal of students. Our life as a whole, as well as our buildings, has given us increasing prestige. The Fellows of our Society are distinguished each in her own Faculty; their contributions are second to none, and I look for further responsibilities to be given them in the future. What of the spirit of the whole community, which is what we mean by 'the College' ? A little while ago somebody alluded to a 'godmother'. One of the duties and privileges of a godmother is to cause her godchildren to listen to sermons. I do strongly believe that the tone of our Society is something of definite value to the University. We have, for instance, a clear and consistent conception of the social life befitting a mixed University, preferring it to be on the basis of the highest common factor rather than the lowest common denominator between the sexes. If there is one thing more objectionable than Kinder, Kiiche, Kirche, it is glamour. Of course, we all feel an enhanced exhilaration from the presence (as this evening) of even one gentleman, butâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; away with glamour. (If the American loan fails to go through there will be at least one good result: American magazines will be kept out of the country!) I am all for elegance and charm but associate them more with youth in unsophistication than with shoddy imitations of the West End of London. Let us keep our entertainments simple and inexpensive, and maintain dignity and ceremony on social occasions, instead of cultivating vulgar familiarity of manners. There is my last 'sermon' ; and now it only remains to say goodbye. Not that it is a real goodbye, for I am glad to have heard a reference to the Chronicle. That humble little publication keeps us in touch, and did do so during the war years in a way nothing else could have done. Many in distant The speaker has since been informed by Mr. Buckland that he has been invited by the Council of Newnham College to submit plans. I2

lands have written to say how they value it. I hope it will continue to flourish, and I shall always look forward to mine. Please give the support you have given to me to the friend on my right, who is taking up responsibilities which I know she deeply feels, who knows the College in and out and up and down, and whose administration of and love for our garden are only equalled by those of Miss Rogers. She knows what I think about her, and has sometimes kindly told me what she thinks about me, and I do not fear but that the continuity we prize here will survive under her rule. We have been blessed in having only three Principals in sixty years— few Societies enjoy the continuity that implies. And now, God bless you all.

IMPRESSIONS OF ST. HUGH'S COLLEGE GAUDY, JULY 1946 ("NNE revisits one's College after many years, many vicissitudes, many kJ travels. It is a Gaudy and here are gathered numbers of students, most of them past, most of them, particularly one's own year, getting very grey. But as one looks up at the College buildings one almost exclaims, 'How young! How assured!' If ghosts of old hopes, ambitions, expectations, dreams, peep over shoulders and look out of eyes, they are banished by the confidence expressed in the building with its long rows of windows, its lovely library, confident in spite of the vanished beauty of the garden. And does a shadow slip across the strong sundial, the shadow of a small, grey, abrupt, untidy, little old woman, passionately tending the plants along the terrace ? The College architecture is but one expression of the reputation for achievement, reliability, and good sense which the long stewardship of Miss Gwyer has sustained for St. Hugh's ; for this is the true College, this crowd of students gathered on this summer evening on the terrace—past and present and perhaps to come, for some have daughters. 'Women . . . some of them brilliant . . . all of them good', so Miss Gwyer describes them. What a rallying-point are her words with the emphasis on quality, herself good! Miss Gwyer is one of those persons who are privileged to carry through life the vitality of youth; she will not grow old nor lose touch with youth. To-night she replies in terms of salty wit and classical moderation to the compliments and the speeches. She meets affection with charm and restraint. She blesses the gathering as she passes from group to group, here exchanging mirth, now a word of friendship, a touch, a pressure on the hand of a stranger, a wanderer. Clearly this is a person to be loved and her love for the College will mellow and vitalize it when v. L. P. many present to-night can come no more.

It will be remembered that on Dr. Ey.ans's motion it was resolved at the Annual Meeting in July 1946 to commemorate in some suitable manner the eight Members who lost their lives by enemy action during the Second World War, and to invite contributions for the purpose. The Committee appointed to act (the mover, Miss Gwyer, Dr. Ady, Miss Fiedler, and Miss Downham) is therefore inserting this reminder to members. It is hoped that the Fund will enable a memorial plaque to be designed by an artist of repute and affixed to the wall of the Chapel. Any balance will be reported to the Association at the Annual Meeting, 1947, with the Committee's suggestions, if any, as to its disposal. Miss H. Fiedler, Lane House, Norham Road, Oxford, is kindly acting as Hon. Treasurer. Receipts will not be sent, but a list of contributors will be compiled before the Annual Meeting, 1947, when the Fund will be closed.

THE PRINCIPAL'S REPORT s events up to last July are referred to in the reports of the Annual Meeting of the Association and of the Gaudy, I shall confine myself in this report to the period from August to February. It is not, however, possible to begin any such survey without some reference to Miss Gwyer's retirement after twenty-two years of distinguished rule as Principal and of single-minded devotion to the interests of the College. The marked progress made by St. Hugh's during the last two decades is the measure of its debt to Miss Gwyer. It was in recognition of the signal services rendered to the College that the Council at its first meeting in Michaelmas Term elected Miss Gwyer to an Honorary Fellowship. Another retirement which took place last summer was that of Miss Fowle, well known to generations of undergraduates for the skill, firmness, and kindness with which she marshalled them through the intricacies of matriculation, collected their forms and fees for examination, and sent in their names for degree givings. It is now more than eighteen months since we returned to our own buildings. To those of us who watched with some anxiety the disintegrating effects of six years of scattered existence, the rapidity and completeness with which we have regained our sense of corporate entity has been a matter for rejoicing. We are again a College and not a collection of hostels for students, as we tended to become in exile. One material benefit we do, however, owe to our exile—the complete interior redecoration of the College during the Long Vacation as part of our 'reinstatement'. Our walls and ceilings are wonderfully clean and bright but furnishings and floor coverings still show unmistakable signs of their six years of exceptional wear and tear. Some of the stores and huts in front of the main building have been removed, but in the middle of August it became clear that there was no possibility of obtaining the immediate demolition of the six wards and their ancillary corridors which cover so large a portion of the garden. These huts—although 'hut' is an inappropriate designation since they are well-constructed buildings of brick and concrete— have now been let to the University on a three-year tenancy, and are being

converted into offices for the use of certain university departments including the Institute of Statistics, which is already installed, the Bureau of Animal Population, and the Edward Grey Institute of Field Ornithology. University and College equally benefit from this agreement, but it inevitably postpones the time when the reinstatement of the grounds can be carried out and the College will once more possess, as it did before the war, one of the loveliest gardens in Oxford. Meanwhile the now-purposeless corridor which runs from the terrace across the lawn to the wards is being demolished by the College gardeners, and should be entirely removed before this appears in print. Certain changes have been made in the use to which accommodation is put; no. 3 St. Margaret's Road is no longer used for undergraduates but has been converted to provide lodgings for the Principal and a set of rooms for a Tutor. What used to be the Principal's sitting-room in College is now a much-needed additional Senior Common Room. The 'Shrubbery' (72 Woodstock Road), the lease of which was acquired by the College in 1943 but which is not suitable for use for undergraduates, is being let to the Maison Francaise, an institution sponsored by the French Government and which aims at increasing Anglo-French educational contacts. The house, which was requisitioned during the latter years of the war and used as a club for American soldiers, requires reconditioning and redecorating, but should be ready for occupation in the spring. The decision of the Ministry of Education to supplement College Scholarships and Exhibitions from 1946 onward, provided they carry emoluments of not less than k40 per annum, has necessitated a revision of our scheme of Scholarship finance. In spite of the generous benefactions recorded on p. 16, the College is not well provided with endowed Scholarships. To do something towards meeting this deficiency the Council has decided to use the income of the Gumble Bequest for the provision annually of a Gumble Scholarship of k4o. There will thus be at least two endowed Scholarships available for award each year, and the Council will also offer not more than twelve College Scholarships and Exhibitions of k40 out of general revenue. The total will be one less than the total hitherto offered, but all will be eligible for supplementation by the Ministry. Of the Scholars and Exhibitioners who matriculated in October 1946 four were also State Scholars who did not require supplementary grants. It was not, therefore, necessary to draw as heavily on the Bazeley Fund as had been anticipated in order to raise emoluments to the requisite L40. Post-war Oxford is in some ways as abnormal as was war-time Oxford. The number of undergraduates in residence at the University is very much larger, their average age very much higher, and their experiences wholly unlike those of the pre-war undergraduate. There is inevitably a marked difference between the Men's and Women's Colleges in this respect. During the six years of war no man (unless he was physically unfit for military service) completed the full course in an arts subject. Consequently in the Men's Colleges some 90 per cent. are returned ex-service men, and only a small minority, consisting largely of recently elected scholars, has come direct from the schools. With the women the case is different; the number of women undergraduates did not fall appreciably during the war and the shortened two-year course applied only to those who entered in 1941 and 1942. The number of women, therefore, whose course was interrupted or who were

prevented by the `call-up' from coming into residence is limited. The majority of our undergraduates have come up direct from the schools and only a minority from some form of national service. These older students have a great contribution to make to College life ; they are, naturally, more mature, more experienced, and have more capacity for assessing relative values than have their younger contemporaries, and in most cases this greater maturity and experience more than compensate for the inevitable 'rustiness' due to a more or less lengthy time away from books. A welcome feature this year is the resumption of research in arts subjects, opportunities for which have been virtually suspended since 1939, and the College now has a small group of young graduates working in Oxford for the degree of B.Litt. E. E. S. PROCTER SINCE this report was written Miss Mary Cartwright, M.A., D.Phil. (1919), Fellow of Girton College, Cambridge, has been elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. I am sure that all members of the Association will join with me in congratulating her on this outstanding distinction. E. S. P.

THE

PRESENTATION TO MISS FOWLE N the Michaelmas Term, at an informal gathering after dinner one evening

IL in the S.C.R., to which representatives of the J.C.R. were invited, a

presentation was made to Miss Fowle on the occasion of her retirement. The gifts, a cheque for £75 and an attractive brooch set with garnets and pearls, were made on behalf of past and present members of both the Senior and Junior Common Rooms. Owing to the shortness of the time, and the uncertainty of addresses due to recent war conditions, it was possible only to make a 'token' presentation for the many who have been so kindly and surely guided in their academic career from matriculation onwards by Miss Fowle. It is hoped, therefore, that those readers of the Chronicle and their friends who could not be notified will feel that they fully shared in this expression of affection. As an Honorary Member of the Senior Common Room Miss Fowle will still be easily found by old students revisiting the College. E. A. F.

ST. HUGH'S CLUB

MEETING of St. Hugh's Club, with Miss Gwyer in the chair, was held at St. Hugh's College on Sunday, July 7th, 1946, when notice of the following motion was given: To wind up the Club, as it now served no

useful purpose. The Secretary was asked to send out the agenda and the date of the next meeting. On Saturday, October 5th, the Club, at the kind invitation of Miss Nancy Moller, met at the London School of Medicine, Hunter Street, when Miss Proctor was in the chair. Miss Gwyer was among the guests present. The Meeting proceeded to discuss the winding up of the Club and, on a vote being taken, there was found to be a majority in favour. A suggestion that in the years when no Gaudy took place a dinner should be arranged either in London or the North was accepted with acclamation. By courtesy of St. Hugh's College, invitations to the Gaudy were extended to those members of St. Hugh's Club who were not members of the Association. The funds of the Club (amounting to rather more than I50) were handed over to Miss Proctor to buy a present for the College, at her discretion and when the opportunity occurred. The Meeting passed a vote of thanks to the Secretary, Miss Irwin. After business was concluded, Miss Moller entertained the Members to a tea reminiscent of pre-war days. M. G. IRWIN

ST. MARGARET'S HOUSE EXTENSION SCHEME

ITH the purchase in November last of the house, garden, and factory next door, St. Margaret's was assured of premises which could enormously increase the value of its work. Much will, however, have to be done before we can hope to put them into full use, and write finis to the story of the Extension Scheme. The new house, now in the process of being turned into two attractive flats and offices on the ground floor, will ultimately be used for our own students and workers. The possibilities of the garden and the bombed factory, as envisaged in our Architect's plans, are most stimulating. At present St. Margaret's only possesses one fair-sized hall and a small room beyond. In this limited space Play Centres, Junior Clubs, Women's Clubs, the Old-Age Pensioners' Club, and the Youth Club all have to carry on their activities and (still more difficult) to keep their equipment. The new club-building will provide a canteen, kitchen, and gym on the ground floor, with a boys' room, girls' room, and children's room above, an office for the Club leader, and a flat roof for games. The garden's possibilities are also many. Certainly the Extension will mean much more generous accommodation for our existing groups and will also, we hope, enable us to develop a Senior Club for young people over twentyone. If our plans to have a man Club Leader and some men students in the new house are realized, we should also be able to do more for the 12-14-yearold boys and to cater for the 14-16-year-old boys, an age-group which we hardly touch at present. Club members and residents alike realize that considerable development will be possible in the future, but at the moment the Extension Scheme weighs rather heavily on all of us. Financing the position is by no means easy, and all friends of St. Margaret's will have to give the greatest possible support if our plans are to be realized. The new property was acquired by raising a mortgage on St. Margaret's House, and every year approximately ÂŁ240 will have to be 17

found to pay the interest and repay part of the capital borrowed. This is not an easy matter for we have never been able to do more than just pay our way. The Extension Fund, set up to meet the cost of repairs and alterations to the new premises, aims at raising £5,000. So far over £700 has been raised. Of this £600 has been given by friends and subscribers, £7 was made by a special entertainment by St. Margaret's clubs, and £r o by the Christmas Sale. The sale was a great success and was most staunchly supported by the members of the Mothers' Club, who, with groups from the Mixed Club and the residents, had provided much of the stock. Unfortunately very few outsiders came, and a considerable amount of the more expensive goods were consequently not sold. These are being sent to the sale to be held at Oxford next November, at which there will be a special stall for the Extension Fund. Possibly the Christmas Sale will now become an annual event. Certainly much further hard work will have to be done to reach the goal of £5,000. At the moment club members and residents are immersed in rehearsals, properties, costumes, and publicity for our performance of Pilgrim's Progress, which is to take place on Thursday, April loth, at 8 p.m., at York Hall, Bethnal Green. Miss Barbara Murray, a member of St. Margaret's Council and the Honorary Secretary of the Extension Fund Appeal, is the producer, and is also taking the part of Christian. All the clubs are represented as well as a number of the students and residents. Rehearsing in this bitter weather has been exceedingly difficult, and, as York Hall needs 1,70o people to fill it, we are faced with a formidable task. Alongside these special efforts for the Extension the normal routine of club and play centre, of Care Committee, and of Citizen's Advice Bureau continue, and the students receive their training. The Extension has given new stimulus to all our work, the Mixed Club in particular having taken on a new lease of life. So, in spite of anxieties over fuel, food, and plumbing St. Margaret's is confident that it will be able to meet the challenge of the future. STELLA PENLEY

THE JUNIOR COMM N ROOM, 1946=7 TN the whiteness of new paint and snow-covered gardens—sheltering though _IL they do the Institute of Statistics—memories of Holywell Manor and Savile House are relegated to the position of Third Year anecdotes, and it is remarkable how easily and unconsciously the J.C.R. has reassumed the condition of communal life, brought home particularly forcibly amid the green-glass partitions of the Gray Allen bathrooms. To those who can remember life at St. Hugh's before the war, the present J.C.R. may seem to have lost something of the old unity that pervaded all the Colleges; there is perhaps an individualism, a certain carelessness of the outward forms of community life ; but whether this is due to the years when the College lived 'out', or to the increased age of the present undergraduate, it does not result in any real division within the College. It was with feelings of regret and gratitude that the College took leave of Miss Gwyer at the end of the Trinity Term; realizing how much her personality and whole-hearted endeavour had carried the College through the difficult war years, and the still more difficult period of readjustment: probably the whole extent of our debt to her will only be fully appreciable in retrospect, but we can admire most profoundly the great success with which she retained 18

the spirit of community—the thing that she prized above all else—within the College. It is only to be hoped that she will frequently find time to visit the College in the future. The undergraduate's best friend has always been the College staff, and although we have returned to our own buildings, they will never seem quite the same without Bella, Annie, and May, who left at the end of the Trinity Term, having stayed just long enough to settle the College in: everyone most remembers their unfailing kindness and good humour and the many things which they did, so unselfishly, that made life so pleasant. So far, at any rate, we can be thankful for having been so little touched by the fuel crisis—rug-wrapped forms in the Library and broken boilers may be indicative of the weather, but we still have coal fires in our grates and in the coldest weather a fire in the J.C.R. Minor inconveniences may occasionally loom large: they cannot obscure our deep appreciation for the privilege of University life at such a time as this.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE RESEARCH COMMITTEE, 1946-7 MHE Elizabeth Wordsworth Studentship was not awarded, but a grant from .1 the Research Studentship Fund was made to Miss H. S. B. Felberbaum, B A., former Scholar of the College, Modern History, Class II, 1945, to enable her to work for the degree of B.Litt. The Mary Gray Allen Senior Scholarship was awarded for a second year to Miss Priestley; during the Long Vacation Miss Priestley asked to be allowed to relinquish the Scholarship in order to take up an appointment as Lecturer in History at Leeds University. The Scholarship thus lapses for the year 1946-7. The Moberly Senior Scholarship 1946-7 was awarded to Heather Martin, B.A. (Class II, Honour School of English Language and Literature), who is working for the degree of B.Litt. 20

MARGARET MARY IRVING (née CRICK) MARGARET CRICK came up to St. Hugh's Hall in 1898, going down after a year to nurse her mother through her last illness. She returned in 1901 and, after taking Mathematical Moderations, read History. She was the first Mordan Scholar, and as Miss Mordan liked to know her scholars personally, she was introduced to her. In this case the acquaintance ripened into a friendship. A keen historian, with many friends in the College and in the University, and acting as Senior Student for two years, she lived her Oxford life to the full. At the same time she was playing a mother's part by her younger brothers and sisters. After holding various teaching posts in England, including that of Mistress of Method at Whitelands College, she was made Principal of Queen Mary's College, Lahore, in 1914. Her pupils were the daughters of chiefs and other high-class Indians, and she was soon on very friendly terms with Indian ladies. They showed their confidence in her after her marriage by electing her as President of the Indian Women's Educational Conference, an unprecedented honour for the wife of an English civil servant. Her work in connexion with the women and children evacuated from their homes during the Amritzar riots won for her the thanks of the Punjab government. When Sir Miles and Lady Irving returned to England they settled at Bayswater Farm, Headington, which became a pleasant centre for their friends and those of their three daughters. The Sandhills Housing Estate was just coming into being nearby, and Lady Irving took it under her wing, doing much to make it into a community. Her manifold activities during the war included work as a billeting officer and as County Officer of the Order of St. John. 'Margaret is a rock', a College friend once said. Wise, courageous, and unfailing in her kindness, people turned instinctively to her for support. Her first thought was to serve those among whom she lived, and their interests became her own. Her love of God was as spontaneous and as real as her love of man. c. M. A. 23
