EPORT •F THE THIRTY-FOURTH ANNUAL MEETING OF SENIOR MEIWIERS 9'n HE meeting was held in the Reading Room on Saturday, 20 June 1959. .11 Twenty-nine Senior Members were present. The Chairman called on the meeting to stand in memory of four former members who had died during the year.

In her Statement the Chairman referred to the proposed statute which would come before Congregation in Michaelmas Term and which would confer on the Women's Colleges the status of full Colleges of the University, and explained its implications.

The Chairman offered the congratulations of the meeting to the Mistress of Girton on her appointment as Reader in the Theory of Functions, University of Cambridge, and on the Hon. D.Sc. which she was to receive from Hull University, and to Dr. Evans on her election as President of the Society of Antiquaries. She reported that Miss Dickinson had,been elected to an Official Fellowship; that Miss Daniel and Mrs. Bleaney had been appointed to University Lecturerships and that Miss Levick had been elected to a Fellowship and Tutorship at St. Hilda's College. College post-graduate awards were also reported.

Miss Jacobs was re-elected Secretary of the Association.

Reports were given on the Building Fund Appeal and on the Portrait Fund. The portrait of the Principal, painted by Mr. Frederick Deane, was on view at the meeting.

GAUDY, 1960 rirHE St. Hugh's College Gaudy will be held from Friday, 1 July, until Monday, 4 July 1960. The Gaudy Dinner will take place on Saturday, 2 July, at 7.3o p.m. Invitation cards are enclosed with the Chronicle.

THE PRINCIPAL'S REPORT

M

ISS DICKINSON, who has been Librarian since 1953, has been elected to an Official Fellowship and took her seat on the Governing Body in Michaelmas Term. During Trinity Term 1959 Mr. Frederick Deane of Manchester painted my portrait for the College. This now hangs in the Dining Hall. It has had a favourable reception in Oxford and I hope it will meet with the approval of Senior Members generally, and especially of those who have contributed to the Portrait Fund out of which the cost has been met.

Miss Jacobs is away for the academic year on leave of absence and is teaching in the English Department at the University of Munich with the status of `Dozent'. During Miss Jacobs's absence Miss Mary Kurn, Scholar of the College 1952-6, is Acting Tutor in German and is responsible for undergraduates reading German for the Modern Language School. Miss Sweeting has returned from her year in Australia. Miss Kenworthy, who acted as Tutor in Geography during Miss Sweeting's absence, has been appointed to 7

a Tutorial Research Fellowship at Bedford College, University of London.

Senior Members who were in residence between 1922 and 1941 will have heard with deep regret of the death of Miss Sophia Salt on 21 February 1960.

Miss Salt was appointed as Assistant Bursar in 1922. She had seen extensive nursing service during the First World War and was responsible for the health of undergraduates throughout her period of service to the College, and no one who has been nursed by her will have forgotten her skilful and kindly ministrations. She was also for some years in charge of 4 St. Margaret's Road and from 1932 to 1939 was Warden of St. Hugh's House (8o Woodstock Road) when the house was used not only as an ordinary undergraduate house during term, but also as a house where undergraduates who wished to reside during vacation could stay for certain periods. Miss Salt retired in 1941 and since then has lived with her elder sister, in recent years at Cirencester. Miss Beere, who after being clerk to the Principal's secretary for many years, became in 1946 Principal's secretary, retired last summer but continues to live in Oxford.

In Michaelmas Term 1959 the Congregation of the University approved legislation which granted the Women's Colleges the full status of Colleges of the University. As a result of this Stat. Tit. xxm 'Of Women Students' which, since 1920, has governed the relations of the Societies of Women Students with the University will disappear from the University Statutes.

The practical changes occasioned by this alteration in status are not many.

The Women's Colleges will now be liable to contribute to the University from their external revenue, i.e. revenue from land, endowments, &c. but not from fees. As a number of deductions are allowed from gross income before it is assessed for contribution, none of the five Colleges will at present qualify for assessment. The Heads of the Women's Colleges will be eligible for election to the office of Vice-Chancellor but, under the existing conventions as to seniority and age, it is unlikely that any of the present Principals will be called on to serve in this office. Women will not be eligible for the Office of Proctor, but in future a Representative of the Women's Colleges will be elected to serve on those University Committees on which the Proctors serve ex officio.

This office will rotate among the five Colleges in order of seniority and the election will be carried out by the College concerned in the same way as an election to the office of Proctor. This should be a useful innovation, as it will enable some of the younger Fellows of the Women's Colleges to gain experience of University business as do the Fellows of the Men's Colleges who serve as Proctors. The Women's Representative will, however, have no disciplinary or ceremonial functions. In future, if a woman is elected to a Professorial chair, the chair will be allocated during her tenure of it to one of the Women's Colleges in order of seniority, instead of according to an ad hoc decision of the Hebdomadal Council as heretofore, and a procedure has been worked out by which, if a woman is a candidate for a Professorship, the College concerned will be represented on the electoral board, although the representative will not have a vote. The change in status has necessitated a revision of the College Statutes, as various statutes defining the relations between the University and the College have to be added, and this has given an opportunity for a more comprehensive revision of the statutes. These have to be approved by the University, in so far as they affect it, and by the Queen in Council before they come into force.

The College has suffered a great loss by the death on 17 January 196o of Dame Catherine Fulford, who has been a generous friend to all five of the Women's Colleges at Oxford and to New Hall at Cambridge. Dame Catherine, who was not a University graduate, had a distinguished career in local government and served on the London County Council as Councilor and Alderman from 1931 to 1958. She visited St. Hugh's College and had lunch with members of the Senior Common Room last September and Miss Gray and I paid a return visit to her house at Bowlhead Green near Godalming early in Michaelmas Term. Three of four recent gifts made by Dame Catherine to St. Hugh's College have been added to the capital of the Senior Scholarship Fund out of which the emoluments of the Moberly Senior Scholarship, which is not endowed, are paid. It has been decided in future to offer a Moberly Senior Scholarship and a Catherine Fulford Senior Scholarship in alternate years; the conditions of the two awards will be similar, except that the Catherine Fulford Senior Scholarship will not be restricted to members of the College as is the Moberly Senior Scholarship.

Among honours awarded to, and appointments of, Senior Members are the following: The Mistress of Girton (Mary Cartwright), appointed one of the Septemviri of the University of Cambridge from January 196o; Mrs. Castle, M.P. (Barbara Betts), Chairman of the Labour Party 1959; Professor Kathleen Coburn of Toronto University, Rose Mary Crawshay Prize for English Literature 1959, awarded by the British Academy for her Notebooks of S. T. Coleridge, vol. i; Miss M. M. Dean, awarded the O.B.E. in the New Year's Honours List 196o; Dr. Joan Evans, President of the Society of Antiquaries, the first woman to hold this office; Mrs. Mirsky (Aileen Guilding), Professor of Biblical Studies in the University of Sheffield, the first woman elected to a chair at Sheffield. The following have been appointed to Head Mistress-ships: Miss D. J. Dixon, Stoke Damerel High School for Girls, Plymouth, and Miss L. L. Lewenz, Harrison Barrow Girls' Grammar School, Birmingham. Other appointments and news of Senior Members are to be found elsewhere in the Chronicle. This year the 'At Home' for Senior Members resident in Oxford, which is held each year on the Saturday before or after St. Hugh's Day, was held before, instead of after, dinner and the husbands of married members were also invited—judging by the increased number of acceptances both innovations were welcomed. A Gaudy will be held from the 1st to the 4th of July 196o and notices about it are being sent out with the Chronicle.

The results in the Schools this year were satisfactory: of the 57 candidates who sat for the Final Honour Schools, 4 obtained First Classes, 41 obtained Second Classes, so obtained Third Classes, and z obtained Fourth Classes.

Those placed in the First Class were: Diana Copley (Scholar) and Margaret Hester (Exhibitioner) in Mathematics; Jean Holmes in Natural Science (Physics) and Marianne Koenig (Exhibitioner) in English Language and Literature. In the academic year 1958 to 1959 the number of undergraduates in residence was 190 of whom 188 (including 3 graduates of other Universities) were reading for the B.A. degree and a graduates of other Universities were reading for research degrees. There were also 19 graduates of the College in residence reading for research degrees or post-graduate diplomas.

The College is now working out its scheme, to which reference was made at the 1957 Gaudy, for the conversion of the three St. Margaret's Road houses into a single block and for the provision of a Principal's Lodgings elsewhere.

The architect's plans are now under detailed consideration. The scheme provides for a connecting bridge between the west end of the Mary Gray Allen Wing and 2 St. Margaret's Road at first-floor level and two-storied links between 2 and 3 and 3 and 4 St. Margaret's Road. The type of roof used in these three houses makes any link at second-floor level impossible. Outside the three houses will retain their present appearance, with flat-roofed, twostoried, brick-built links between them; inside a good deal of alteration will be necessary, in order to provide communication between the houses on the ground and first floors. The whole block will provide bed-sitting-rooms for 34 or 36 undergraduates as well as sets for 3 or 4 Fellows. There will be an additional Junior Common Room, laundry, and drying room in the semibasement at No. 4. Altogether it will be possible to provide accommodation for an additional 18 undergraduates. The College hopes to start work on this conversion in the Long Vacation of 1962. The building will take from six to nine months to complete, so the provision of accommodation for displaced persons during Michaelmas Term 1962 and Hilary Term 1963 will present a problem. The scheme will have to be financed largely by a loan. The Building Fund remains open, and any contributions to it not required for the repayment of the loan made by the University towards the cost of the 1958 extensions will be used for this second stage of the College's building scheme. New subscribers and further donations will be very welcome.

JUNIOR COMMON ROOM REPORT 1960 FFLUENCE

has the advantage of allowing economic freedom. For the

IN. first time, perhaps, since before the war the J.C.R. has been able to spend

relatively freely without worrying too much about the cost. In a glorious summer, which will be noted in future years for the general air of prosperity and well-being which it bred, the J.C.R. captured the mood by throwing its own party in the gardens to which all members of the College were invited.

We were delighted to see so many members of the S.C.R. and welcomed the opportunity to meet and speak with them under such pleasant conditions.

While nominally the J.C.R. carried out all the preparations, we are in fact greatly indebted to the caterer—Mrs. Barker—and the Bursar for the assistance and advice they gave.

We were particularly pleased that we were financially able to make donations, each of a worthwhile size, to World Refugee Year, and our two regular beneficiaries St. Margaret's House and World University Service. In the Hilary Term 196o, a motion was passed at the J.C.R. Meeting to adopt a refugee child. We have not so far had details of the child, but we do sincerely hope that future generations of J.C.R. members will feel as strongly as we do about giving help in this way, and will continue to give financial assistance.

In return for the J.C.R. subscription, we have tried to keep up a satisfactory standard of J.C.R. amenities. Two new Anglepoises have been fitted up in the J.C.R. to supplement the general diffused light, which while bestowing an Athenaeum-like air on the room, is not particularly suited to close reading.

15

The J.C.R. has also passed a motion authorizing the Committee to buy a washing machine, and it is hoped, on condition that the estimates of installation come within the sum stipulated, that an automatic Bendix will shortly be in operation.

The Art Club, which a short while ago was moribund, having been resurrected last year by Veronica Gascoigne and Marianne Koenig, continues to pursue an active and constructive policy. Jean Hood and Caroline Reynolds, the present Committee, are as concerned to maintain the present healthy state of the funds as they are interested (naturally) in buying new works. Their main intention is to purchase originals: they have bought an abstract by Jean Cartier and two interesting and attractive lithographs. They also bought at cheap rates from a picture club a dozen or so reasonable prints, which are hired out to J.C.R. members to hang in their rooms. By this scheme, the Art Club assures itself of a steady income, which is used to supplement the resources of the slowly but steadily diminishing Picture Fund.

Owing to a sudden University grant to the Oxford University Women's Games Fund, J.C.R. subscriptions will be cut, yet in spite of this and increased J.C.R. expenditure over the past year, there is still a considerable surplus in the J.C.R. Funds which has been tied up in 5 per cent. Defence Bonds for the moment, so that future J.C.R.s may be able to take advantage, in the way they think best, of the same economic independence as we have been able to enjoy.

Individual members of the J.C.R. continue to make their names in University society generally. This is probably so in the Drama sphere more than any other. Caroline Threlfall and Romola Christopherson in particular have been popular performers for both O.U.D.S. and E.T.C. The College did very well in cuppers, coming fourth with a performance of Ionesco's The Bald Prima Donna produced by Jennifer Cameron.

Because it felt that the University was getting all the benefit of St. Hugh's talent, a College Society was inaugurated in Hilary Term to plough back some of the profits into the College firm. Its formal aim is to promote discussion of a wide variety of topics; its intention is to provide a common talking point for members of different years and graduates in particular.

Mr. Warnock, speaking on Robert Graves, set the Society off on a promising career.

The Carol Service this year was held jointly with Lincoln. It took place on Advent Sunday in St. Michael's-at-the-North-Gate. The main musical item was the well-known Bach cantata Sleepers, Wake. Two carols, John Wood's twentieth-century version of '0 Worship the Lord', and Praetorius's sixteenthcentury harmonization of 'The Noble Stem of Jesse', were also performed. A quartet from the Royal Academy of Music came from London to play a fourpart Fantasia by Purcell. The three Lessons were read by the Principal of St. Hugh's College, Canon Gilbertson, and the Rector of Lincoln, Mr. Oakeshott.

We all rejoiced with last year's members in their academic successes.

Specially to be congratulated are Diana Copley, Margaret Hester, Jean Holmes, and Marianne Koenig, who were all awarded First Class Degrees.

May we wish the most worthy of their successors comparable honours.

WINI FRED ALDER-BARRETT A friend writes: INIFRED passed peacefully away on 22 October 1959, at the close of an illness which first declared itself three years ago and from which she knew for almost a year that she would not recover. She faced its successive stages quietly and without change of serenity or of personality, remaining the "A.B." of the 1929-32 J.C.R., plus the added maturity which an active life of service had brought her.

Tor the last fourteen years, she had been in charge of Cumberland's library service, striving to bring the companionship of books to families, especially to children, throughout the county. Gradually the range of reading opportunities became wider and branch libraries and travelling vans brought books to readers in the smaller towns and remote villages, who welcomed new possibilities of choice. `She had a loyal staff to whom she was herself completely loyal, and also won recog iition of her vision and tenacity both from senior colleagues and from County Committee members. `She knew that she had staunch friends and latterly said, characteristically, that their number amazed her. `The spirit of Oxford was one of the many strengths on which she drew and she delighted during her last days in a photograph of Magdalen tower seen from the far corner of Addison's walk across a meadow of fritillaries. `Her only sister was closest to her as her strength ebbed. Slowly she took serene leave of her responsibilities, her friends, and of the many plans she had made in case more time should be allowed her. In her less than fifty years she not only accomplished much—she attained tranquillity.'

LETTE TO THE EDITO l' \

Dear Miss Lemon, In the early part of 1958 I was invited to lecture in America on theatre history, and began my tour in the following October in Richmond, as the Visiting Scholar of the University Center in Virginia. I gave two lectures in Richmond itself, two in Charlottesville, at the University of Virginia (where I was interested to see the room once occupied by Edgar Allan Poe), and one each at Sweetbriar, Longwood, and Mary Washington Colleges.

The countryside was at its best, and I was driven through miles of beautiful 2

5

forest with blazing red and gold autumn foliage. I also learnt a good deal about the Civil War, and visited several of the historic battlefields.

I then went on to Texas (Dallas and Austin) and to Indiana (Lafayette and Bloomington). The University of Indiana at Bloomington is situated only a few miles from the birthplace of the Prime Minister's mother, and he was recently given an honorary degree there. The journeys by air were most exciting, and I had a wonderful view of the Mississippi far below, with its memories of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn!

Back in New York, I lectured at Barnard Hall, part of the University of Columbia, and hoped to see Ursula Niebuhr (Keppel-Compton), but she was away. However, on a second visit in October 1959 I went again to Barnard Hall, and this time had the pleasure of dining with Ursula, her husband, and son. She was very busy and happy, making plans for next year when her husband is due to retire and will, we all hope, have more leisure to devote himself to writing.

On my second visit I also lectured at Princeton, and indulged in the somewhat unacademic pastime of Television quiz shows, but not, luckily, on those which have since been investigated by Congress! Everywhere I went I found Americans deeply perturbed by the revelations of 'rigged' shows, whose repercussions go far beyond the confines of the 'quiz' itself, and by the harm done to education and academic studies in the popular mind by the Van Doren scandal.

I am happy to say that an American Society for Theatre Research has now been founded, affiliated to the International Federation for Theatre Research, which, as you may remember, I helped to found some years ago. Our journal, of which I am editor, is now going to be printed in England under my supervision, after a trial run in Italy. I hope very much that anyone interested in writing for it, or subscribing to it, will get in touch with me.

Yours sincerely, PHYLLIS HARTNOLL
