REPORT OF THE THP1PY-SECOND ANNUAL MEETING OF SENIOR MEMBERS HE meeting was held in the Reading Room on Saturday, 6 July 1957.

One hundred and thirty-two Senior Members were present. The T Chairman called on the meeting to stand in memory of four former members

of the College who had died during the year.

There was a presentation to Dr. Ady of a Philips wireless set and of a cheque towards the purchase of a portrait of Dr. Ady in pastels executed by Andrew Freeth. Mrs. J. A. Leys made the presentation, expressing our deep appreciation of Dr. Ady in all that she has done for her pupils, for the College, and for the Association over many years. Dr. Ady in her reply thanked the Association warmly for its gifts.

In her statement the Chairman reported changes amongst the Fellows and Tutors: Miss E. A. Francis was retiring after thirty-three years in the service of the College, and Miss V. Daniel had been appointed in her stead. Miss M. Adam was resigning her Official Fellowship and Tutorship and had been made a Research Fellow as from Michaelmas Term 1957. Mrs. Bleaney, Lecturer in Physics, had been elected an Assistant Tutor and Fellow, and Miss M. R. Lunt, a member of the College, was to become Assistant Tutor in Natural Science. On the administrative side, Miss E. Major had become Bursar and Miss Annear had been appointed Assistant Bursar.

Among the Senior Members, Mrs. Abbott, Under-Secretary to the Treasury, had been awarded a C.B.E. in the Birthday Honours List. Distinctions amongst the members of the J.C.R. are recorded elsewhere in the Chronicle.

The College now possessed No. z St. Margaret's Road, and the cost of decoration and furnishings of the house was to be met by the Arbuthnot Lane Legacy.

Details were given of gifts and covenants received since March 1957 in response to the Building Fund Appeal. Up to now the number of donors altogether was something under 500. The Principal thanked warmly those who had already given, and urged members who had not done so to give as soon as possible, however small or large the gift might be.

Miss M. Jacobs was re-elected as Secretary of the Association.

After the meeting was adjourned members stayed behind to discuss Miss Cooper's suggestion that a presentation be made to Miss Francis on the occasion of her retirement.

SHERRY PARTY, 1958 MHE biennial Sherry Party for members of the Association will take place 1 on Friday, z6 September 1958, 5.30-7.30 p.m., at Queen Elizabeth College, Campden Hill Road, by kind permission of the Principal (M. J. Sargeaunt).

Full particulars will be found on a slip enclosed with the Chronicle.

GAUDY, 1960 THERE will be no Gaudy in 1959. The next Gaudy will be in 196o.

THE GAUDY, 1957

A

S the building programme had been postponed till 1958 there was only a two-year gap since the last gaudy.

There was a good attendance in the Reading Room for the annual general meeting, during which Mrs. Leys (R. J. Mitchell, 1921) made the presentation to Dr. Ady of the wireless set subscribed for by Senior Members on her resignation as Honorary Secretary of the Association. The portrait of Dr. Ady had been brought into the room for members to see, and it was viewed with much interest after the meeting.

Tea in the garden followed on what for many of us must have been the hottest afternoon we ever remember for a Gaudy, but even shifting chairs continually into possibly more shady spots did not prevent this being, as always, the most pleasant part of the week-end.

At dinner even noise from the road was preferable to heat, so doubtless those passing outside hardly noticed the traffic, for the noise of conversation is always the most vivid remembrance of the Gaudy dinner—that and, on a warm evening, the terrace after dinner, floodlit on this occasion at the expense of a Senior Member who wishes to remain anonymous—a generous gift which was much appreciated in spite of the thunderstorm.

There was the usual well-attended Holy Communion Service in the Chapel at 8 a.m. on Sunday. After breakfast small parties went on the river, or to see friends, or to wander round and by after lunch there was a curiously quiet College for those who remained till Monday morning.

At the dinner Miss P. M. M. Graham (1925) proposed the toast of the Association, coupled with the name of Miss Francis, and spoke most affectionately and amusingly of her memories of Miss Francis as her Tutor.

In reply Miss Francis said: Those of you who relax at week-ends with the gentlemanly anecdotes of the Sunday Times may remember an attempt to convey the particular flavour of a quiet efficient London club for men. An unobtrusive member was surprised to receive a summons to a committee meeting, and he hastily sought out the Secretary to point out that there must be some mistake. 'No,' said the Secretary, 'you have been a member of the Committee for thirty years but you may not have noticed that."Thae, ended the writer triumphantly, 'is the sort of club it is.' When I was approached by the Secretary of the Association of Senior Members my feelings were almost exactly those of the surprised clubman, but I appreciated also how exactly the invitation reflects `the sort of club we are', and what a pleasant thing it is to be a member.

I should add that almost immediately after I had steeled myself to accept the flattering responsibility of speaking on behalf of the Association I was brought down to earth. I went into Miss Beere's office to collect some stationery.

8

Looking up (over her glasses) from her lists, she asked, 'Will you be coming to the Gaudy ?' After that I asked myself, 'Why do we come to Gaudies ?'

I think the answer could be given, in eighteenth-century style, 'out of a kind of poetic curiosity'. Curiosity to see how College is getting on, what the much-loved gardens and familiar buildings look like, and to meet old friends and make new ones. But it is a 'poetic' curiosity, since it stirs imagination and recollection to something a little larger, more lasting than reality. I think it must have been the result of 'poetic curiosity' that one of our members (Joan Evans) was inspired to endow the College with suitably soft beds to break the impact of a too harsh reality and to protect the charm of a rejuvenating pernoctation. Though Conference lodgers and present undergraduates greatly benefit, that is just a by-product—the gift was certainly destined for those I now, with much timidity, represent and I name them in the order in which they intimidate me: the awe-inspiring headmistresses, the Powerful Civil Servants, the Authors of Books and/or Children—I must pass over other categories, but I feel sure that (thanks to the defunct Pass Mods.) I should find pupils or friends in nearly all categories. I should now particularly like to mention one of these old friends, I met her first in Paris, and again when I came to Oxford, and we subsequently enjoyed some happy years as Co-Tutors in French (before the disintegration into combination with 'other languages'). When Sybil Goulding left to marry she continued, and still continues, by skilful wielding of the blue pencil to send out State Scholars into the world, to come to this University or elsewhere: better still she sent us her daughter, Jennifer West, to repeat her mother's contribution to the prestige of the College, but this time by a brilliant entry into the legal profession. What I gain this evening from this chance to talk with old College friends is a sample of the experience of all those in whose name I gratefully acknowledge the pleasant things which have been said by my kind-hearted and eloquent pupil Phyllis Graham. I think the proper response from the Association of Senior Members to the toast to its well-being lies in the College motto `Fidelitas'.

Mrs. Colin Hardie (C. V. M. Lucas 1928) proposed the toast of the College, and in reply the Principal said: I generally use this occasion to give information to Senior Members about College policy and plans, and tonight I want to talk to you about two closely related subjects: expansion of numbers and provision of accommodation.

A good deal will be already known to you—how much will depend on how carefully you have read the College Chronicle—but as it is easier to follow plans on the spot than from a distance it seems worth while to recapitulate what I have previously said or written and also bring these matters up to date.

Those of you who are engaged in educational pursuits will have heard of the 'trend' and the 'bulge'. The 'trend' is the name given to the tendency for girls and boys to stay on longer at school and seek to qualify themselves for a University education. From the University point of view the bulge is still in the future, for it represents the larger numbers of young people who will reach the age of eighteen in 1963, and for a short period of years following, because of the higher birth-rate in the immediate post-war years. Now the `bulge' is temporary, and there is little that a strictly residential college can do about temporary increases, for bricks and mortar cannot easily be made to expand and contract. But the 'trend' does concern us more. Already we are 9

unable to admit all the candidates we would like to admit on our entrance examination and the 'trend' means that this excess of good candidates may (not necessarily will) continue to increase. Again, the University has abolished the 'quota' for women students and in theory we are free to expand as we please, and we are also under more insistent pressure from outside to expand, than we were while the quota was in operation. There is a large unsatisfied demand for more science graduates, but here there are some limiting factors: Laboratory space in some subjects is strictly limited and, until it is increased, numbers cannot be raised much; science is a subject in which we do not usually have a waiting list and, until the quality of our science candidates improves, we cannot do more than admit a very small additional number of scientists. There are also financial considerations: some increase would be a financial help, but it is necessary to maintain an equilibrium between numbers and appointments. Too large an increase, or too large an increase in certain already large subjects, would require more tutorial appointments—possibly also more administrative ones—and thus the financial benefit would disappear.

For all these reasons a moderate increase seems called for. We are still well below the zoo which was permitted to us by the quota, and that still seems the best number to aim at and to aim at as quickly as possible.

Now in considering numbers I am going to ignore our small number of graduates of other universities. They are generally older than the average undergraduate, they all reside in lodgings and—with a very few exceptions— they prefer to be out; they are usually not admitted through the entrance examination; most of them work for research degrees; they do not pay the inclusive fee but come in on a different financial basis. The people I want to consider are those who come up at eighteen or nineteen years of age, straight from school, or within about a year of leaving school; who enter through our annual Scholarship and Entrance Examination and read for one of the Final Honour Schools. We want to be able to provide rooms for at least 200 of these undergraduates within the College precincts. Last year we had 163 of them but 9 were fourth years living in lodgings, for we only have rooms for 154-102 in College and 52 in five houses and a cottage within the College grounds. We need therefore to provide 46 more undergraduate rooms. We should then be able to admit about 65 candidates on our entrance examination each year.

How far are we towards making this provision? Quite a way. As I told you at the meeting this afternoon, we now have possession of 2 St. Margaret's Road—the house next to the College. Workmen are already in it, making necessary structural alterations and redecorating it, and we shall have eight more undergraduate rooms for use from next October. Then we hope next March to begin our building scheme for which we launched our Building Fund Appeal in 1955. May I remind you briefly of what is proposed? The east wing of the main building will be extended to enlarge the Dining Hall; the west wing will also be extended to give us twelve more undergraduate rooms, four on each floor. As I find that there is still some anxiety among Senior Members as to the effect of these extensions on the garden, may I repeat that the two wings will each be extended 23 feet southward which will bring them to the line of the retaining wall of the terrace and not beyond.

As I explained in the last report on the Building Fund—the University Grants Committee is prepared to make a grant towards the extension of the Dining Hall, I0

but not towards the provision of undergraduate rooms, and the University, through whom this grant is to be made, will let us have it in 1958 although, owing to the general financial stringency, it may be rather less than we had hoped for—still, it will be a substantial grant. By next summer we shall have about £7,600 available in the Building Appeal Fund out of the 412,5oo promised, and the University will let us have a loan of £5,000. From these three sources we should be able to cover the cost of the building, while that part of the money already promised under the form of covenants, but which will not be available until after 1958, will enable us to repay the loan from the University. Any money not required for this first extension will form a nucleus for future building needs. Thus by October 1958 we shall hope to have provided twenty new undergraduate rooms—leaving another twentysix still required.

Beside the provision of new rooms there is another consideration. We shall be using six houses for undergraduate accommodation. Except for 8z Woodstock Road, which holds fifteen undergraduates, they are none of them large and only hold from seven to ten undergraduates each. There are advantages—the better rooms are bigger than anything in College, the small ones are no smaller than those on the second floor of the main building.

Houses are quieter than College, and not all young people of eighteen to twenty-two like living in large crowds, but there are serious disadvantages.

Running a number of small units is bound to be less economical than running larger ones. A tutor has to be in charge of each one of them and, as it is not expedient that there should be no tutors living in the College building, this means that a very high proportion of tutors must be resident, and we may not always have tutors willing to take charge of houses. Domestic service is another difficulty, for experienced and reliable housekeepers are not easy to come by. It is not possible to allow undergraduates in houses the same amount of late leave as those who live in College. For all these and other reasons, fewer rather than more houses would be a help, and we are now considering the possibility of joining up some of the houses. The acquisition of 2 St. Margaret's Road will be a help here. If we could build between 2 and 3 and between 3 and 4 St. Margaret's Road, so as to form one block out of three separate houses, and then join the block on to the Mary Gray Allen Wing, we could supply new rooms and also decrease the number of separate buildings. To an amateur like myself the joining up of 2 and 3 St. Margaret's Road appears feasible; the joining up of 3 and 4 St. Margaret's Road looks more difficult, but that is an uninformed guess. We have asked our architect to consider the possibilities and report to us, and we must now await his report. If he says this scheme is possible, then we shall aim at carrying it out as soon as we have funds available. It will, of course, entail finding a new lodging for the Principal and we have not yet seriously discussed how we should do that. If, on the other hand, the architect reports that the scheme is not feasible, then we shall have to consider other plans. But in any case we shall need additional building of some kind or other in the foreseeable future and for that reason we shall keep open a permanent building fund. One thing is clear, unless the University Grants Committee completely changes its present policy, and that seems in the highest degree unlikely, we shall not receive any money from it towards the provision of undergraduate rooms which is our chief building need. We must rely on gifts, benefactions, appeals, and II

savings. I know that many of you have given, and given generously, to the Building Fund already, but I would ask those of you who have not yet given to do so, and those of you who have given, to give more if you are able. It is only by increasing accommodation that St. Hugh's can increase its number of undergraduates.

LETTE FROM DR. C. M. ADS' 4o St. Margaret's Road, Oxford Dear Editor, I am glad of this opportunity to thank all those Senior Members for the gift which they so generously made to me at the Gaudy. The list of contributors contained names of those connected with every phase of my life in College from contemporaries of my own student years, through many generations of pupils and friends down to the present day. I am grateful alike to those who thought of so honouring me and to those who acted on the idea; I should like especially to thank Rosamond Leys for her speech in making the presentation. I can hardly hope that all my former pupils formed so favourable an opinion of me.

Now that my period of active service for the College is over my interest in it remains as strong as ever, and it is a pleasure to know that I have so many friends among its members. Their visits and letters are always welcome.

Meanwhile I am enjoying my beautiful wireless. The portrait wins general approval for its artistic merits although it has had a mixed reception as a likeness.

Yours most sincerely, Cecilia Ady.

PRINCIPAL'S REPO T HERE have been a number of changes in the Senior Common Room during the year. Miss Francis has retired after thirty-three years of T ,distinguished service both to the College and to the Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages. She was appointed tutor in I 924 and elected to a Fellowship in 1926 under the new Statutes which came into force when the College was incorporated by Royal Charter. She is well known to many generations of undergraduates, especially to those who read French and to those who spent some of their undergraduate days in 8z Woodstock Road or, during the war, in 20 Holywell Street. Miss Adam has resigned her tutorship in Natural Science, and consequently her Official Fellowship, in order to devote her whole time to her work at the Observatory where she is University Demonstrator in Astronomy. The College has elected her to a Research Fellowship and she will retain her seat on the Governing Body. She has relinquished her rooms in College but has obtained a flat nearby in Woodstock Road. Mrs. Bleaney, who has been a lecturer in Physics since 1950, has now I2

been appointed to an assistant tutorship and has been elected to an Official Fellowship. Miss V. J. Daniel (B.A., Ph.D. Lond.) has been appointed tutor in French in succession to Miss Francis. Miss Daniel was at Bedford College, London, from 1940-3 and again from 1945-8. She obtained a first class in French in 1943, and the degree of Ph.D. in 1949, with a thesis on 'Aspects of the life and work of Rene Ghil'. During the war, Miss Daniel was an Assistant Principal in the Ministry of War Transport and, since 1948, she has held posts at Nottingham University, at Royal Holloway College and at Westfield College. Miss Mary Lunt, B.A., has been appointed assistant tutor in Natural Science (Biochemistry). Miss Lunt came up to St. Hugh's in 1951; she obtained a second class in the Final Honour School of Natural Science (Biochemistry, Part II) in 1955 and was awarded the Christopher Welch Scholarship 1955-8. She is working for the degree of D.Phil. Miss Gray has been granted sabbatical leave for Trinity Term 1958. She will go to Greece and possibly also to Turkey. She will leave England immediately after the end of Hilary Term and will be out of England for about six months.

Miss Sweeting is being granted leave of absence for the academic year 1958-9 for which year she has been awarded a Visiting Research Fellowship at the University of Canberra, Australia. During Miss Sweeting's year of absence, Miss Kenworthy of St. Hilda's College will look after and teach the St. Hugh's geographers, and will reside in College. Miss Kenworthy is at present in East Africa, where she holds a Leverhulme Overseas Scholarship at Makerere College. She will be returning to England in June.

Two Senior Members are to be congratulated on awards in the New Year's Honours List: Miss E. D. McLeod has been awarded the C.B.E. and Miss E. M. Hirst the M.B.E. The following have been appointed to University posts: Miss D. E. Ashhurst, Assistant Lecturer in Zoology, Manchester University; Miss V. E. Bourgeois, Instructor in English, Louisiana State University; Miss E. Cain, Lecturer in English, University of Ibadan, Nigeria; Miss B. Levick, Lecturer in Classics, St. Hilda's College, Oxford; Mrs. Proudfoot, Fellow, Treasurer, and Lecturer in Politics, Somerville College, Oxford; Miss H. M. Purkis, Lecturer in French, University of Nottingham; Miss F. E. Richardson, Junior Lecturer in English Language, Trinity College, Dublin. Miss N. K. Sandars has been awarded the Thomas Eric Peet Travelling Prize (University of Liverpool) 1957-8, to carry out archaeological work in Turkey. Information about many other appointments is to be found elsewhere in the Chronicle.

The number of undergraduates in residence this year is 18o, including nine graduates of other universities; there are also twenty graduates of the College in residence working for research degrees and postgraduate diplomas.

First classes were obtained in the Final Honour Schools last summer by Clare Richardson and Margaret Hancox in Mathematics, and by Ann Huxley in Modern Languages (German). First classes were also obtained in Classical Honour Moderations by Janet Wynn Williams, and in Mathematical Honour Moderations by Diana Copley. Clare Richardson has been awarded a Junior Mathematical Prize, the Christina Rivington Studentship for 1957-8, and a D.S.I.R. grant. She is at present in Oxford working for the degree of D.Phil. Other prize-winners are: Sheila Cameron, B.A., Blackstone Pupillage Prize (Middle Temple); Margaret Dibb, Herbertson Memorial Prize and Wendy Fieldsend, Gladstone Memorial Prize for vacation travel.

The College obtained possession of 2 St. Margaret's Road in June 1957 and by the beginning of the Michaelmas Term it was ready for occupation.

The freehold has belonged to the College since 1931 but the lease does not terminate until 1983. The University Grants Committee provided the sum of £2,900 necessary for the University to buy the lease, and the University has sublet the house to the College for a peppercorn rent. The University Grants Committee has also paid for certain structural alterations and for legal fees together amounting to £490. The cost of redecoration, furnishing, acy. The &c., has been met by the College from the Arbuthnot Lane Leg house has accommodation for a tutor and eight undergraduates. Its position next to the College makes its occupation by the College particularly desirable and convenient.

Before this report reaches its readers, work on the extensions to the east and west wings of the main building will have begun. The work should be completed by mid-September and will provide the College with an enlarged dining hall and twelve additional undergraduate rooms. The cost will be approximately £zz,600, nearly all of which will have to be paid by November 1958. To meet this the College will have by the summer about £9,000 available in the Building Fund (including a gift of 500 from Dame Catherine Fulford and £402 from the Hope Greg Will Trust), a loan of £5,000 from the University which will be repaid from the Building Fund over the next five years, as the remaining instalments from covenants and returned income-tax thereon come in, and a grant of £5,000 from the University Grants Committee for the extension of the hall. This grant is smaller than the College had hoped to receive. There will thus be a sum of between £3,500 and £4,000 which will have to be met by borrowing, unless it is reduced by further gifts to the Building Fund. Immediate donations are thus now particularly welcome and valuable. Although nearly 500 Senior Members have most generously contributed to the Fund, there are still about 700 who have not yet done so.

Every fresh donation will decrease both the amount that has to be borrowed and the sum payable in interest. The figures given above are approximate ones based on information available in January 1958. Fuller details and more exact and up-to-date figures will be given in the report of the Building Fund Appeal which will be enclosed with the Chronicle.

The extensions to be carried out this year are only a part of the total building needs of the College. The five women's colleges in Oxford, all of which require additional buildings, are considering the possibility of making a joint public appeal in the near future. As four out of the five Colleges have appealed to their own Senior Members for help towards the cost of specific building needs within the last six years, and have in every case received a generous response, this joint appeal will not be addressed primarily to the Senior Members of the Colleges but to a wider public. The most likely date for launching such an appeal is the spring of 1959.

J.C. REPORT Mâ&#x20AC;˘EW events have disturbed the J.C.R.'s even tenor of existence this year. .11.' Those whose ambition it is to gain a certain renown have continued to seek it in University rather than College activities. Several members of the J.C.R. have indeed distinguished themselves in various spheres: Ursula Belman who was secretary of E.T.C. played the leading part in the Society's 19

major productionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Tennessee Williams's Summer and Smoke; Hilary Paling was joint President of S.C.M. last year and Elizabeth Watt has now taken on the editorship of the magazine Oxford Vade Mecum.

College activities, however, have had their share of support. The Carol Service and the informal carol-singing held in the Mordan Hall were both well attended. The majority of the J.C.R. have come to the meetings though it is remarkable how quickly business has been conducted. We have quarrelled and debated over our domestic arrangements but only a few motions have been proposed. There was little enthusiasm for one that urged us to wear our gowns for formal dinner but, on the other hand, most people were in favour of discontinuing the Fresher's Entertainment which in recent years has been performed on St. Hugh's Night. In future, there will be more time for coffee with the S.C.R. after the Dinner. In J.C.R. administration, there has been one important change: the Treasurer now collects that portion of the battels that belongs to the J.C.R. instead of receiving a cheque from the Bursar.

Our financial position indeed is a pleasantly healthy one. At present, owing to lack of space, we are not thinking of another picture and so we have placed the Fund in a Deposit Account. We have also taken advantage of the new rate of interest on defence bonds. In return for a new grass tennis court on the back garden of the Lawn, we are now contributing to the upkeep of the College courts. If the weather is kind next term, this new court should prove most enjoyable.

Our own College societies are flourishing. The Eryneans has enlarged its scope and now debates with other college debating societies. The Dramatic Society was lucky again in choosing almost the only week of cloudless weather for its production with Worcester Buskins. Again too the play was a financial success.

A party from Oxford House and St. Margaret's House spent the afternoon in Oxford last summer, coming to St. Hugh's for tea. This term Miss Panter visited us and gave us a most interesting talk on the work of St. Margaret's House.

We held a dance in the Trinity Term which, though enjoyable, failed to cover its expenses. This year, owing to the building which will affect the Hall, we could not have had a Summer Dance and, in view of the loss on the last one, we had decided against holding a dance at all. An offer, however, came from Hertford College inviting us to share in their Summer Ball.

Plans are being made now and we hope that this new venture will prove a great success.

We congratulate Ann Huxley on her First in the Final Honour School of Modern Languages (German) and Clare Richardson and Margaret Hancox, President last year, on their Firsts in Mathematics. Clare, moreover, won a Junior Mathematical Prize. Diana Copley gained a First in Mathematical Honour Moderations and Janet Wynn Williams a First in Honour Moderations in Literae Humaniores for which she was awarded an Honorary Scholarship.

More recent members of the College will notice a change in the Lodge if they return to visit St. Hugh's, for Mrs. Bye has left us and gone to live with her brother in London. Now, moreover, an even greater change is taking place in College. Work on the extensions to the wings of the main building has just 20

begun. The terrace is surrounded by a palisade and the flagstones have been tidily piled away. It will mean that for this Trinity Term we shall not enjoy our garden in peace but to compensate for this we shall have the interest of watching the new building take shape.

GAMES EPS RT, 1957-8 QT. HUGH'S has taken a fairly active part in University games this year, particularly in Lacrosse and Netball.

Four people have played for the Lacrosse team this season, two old blues, Susan Burdett and Mary Henkel who is treasurer of the club, and two firstyear players, Susan Leggett and Diana Webb.

Netball has been particularly well supported. Jean Holmes and Maureen McKaig have been secretary and treasurer respectively this season and Jean Holmes will be captain next season. They were joined in the first team by Jo Johnson who has now played for the University for three seasons. Four or five people have also played for the second team on several occasions.

There is not so much support for Hockey. Wendy Greenfield, who was a blue last season, continues to play. She has been secretary this season and will be captain next year. She has been joined by only one player from the first year, Marion Hood, who gained her blue this season and will be treasurer next year.

Clare Richardson who has played for the University Table Tennis team for two years continues to do so, and she has been joined by one first-year player, Maureen Houghton.

There are not so many swimmers in College this year. There is only one representative in the University Swimming team, Elizabeth Smith, who gained her blue last year.

We had two representatives in the University Tennis team last season, Pat Della-Porta who was captain and Mary Henkel who will be secretary next season, and Jo Johnson was first reserve. There are two promising firstyear players this year so the College should be well represented again next term.

There is also a growing contingent of Squash players in College. Jane Bott has played on occasions for the University, but so far no one plays regularly.
