PRINCIPAL'S REPORT summer of 1976 the Bursar, Eva Major, retired to live in DunfermHer bursarship here has been a memorable one in every respect. She Ithrewline.theherself with her extraordinary energy into so many branches of college life that there is hardly any aspect of it where her influence has not been felt.

It was characteristic of her that her parting gift to the College was a new flag.

In the course of the year Mrs. Beaumont, Mrs. Brown, Miss Christine Kenyon, Mrs. Sourvinou-Inwood, and Mrs. Wollenberg resigned their posts. We wish Miss Kenyon well in her Lecturership at Lincoln College and Mrs. Sourvinou-Inwood in her Lectureship at Liverpool University.

We congratulate Mrs. Beaumont on the birth of a son, and wish Mrs. Brown every success in her work for the Medical Research Council. Miss Joan Milne, F.R.I.B.A., was appointed Senior Bursar—a senior administrative office which combines supervision of fabric with full financial responsibility for the College. Miss Milne had been acting as Secretary to the R.I.B.A. before her appointment and is now an honorary fellow of that body. Miss Rothwell, formerly Deputy Bursar, was appointed Domestic Bursar at the same time. Other appointments made during this year were, Lecturer in Politics: Miss J. Morgan; Retaining Fee Lecturers: Mr. Bennet-Clark, Zoology; Mr. J. Clarke, History; Mrs. Cosgrove, Geography; Miss J. Glover, Music; Mr. Harvey, Theology; Miss Street, Geography. Mrs. Warnock was elected to a Senior Research Fellowship. Miss P. A. Chaloner was appointed to an I.B.M. Research Fellowship, and Miss R. H. Pitt to a MartinengoCesaresco Research Scholarship. Dr. E. M. Soulsby, head of the Geography Department at Madras College, St. Andrews, Fife, was Schoolmistress Student in Hilary Term 1976.

The engraved panel by Laurence Whistler in memory of Miss Gwyer was shown in the exhibition of his work at the Ashmolean Museum during the summer and was installed in the Chapel in October 1976. A Dedication Service will be held in May 1977.

THE JUNIOR COMMON ROOM, 1976 AST year, like the previous one, was distinguished by the small part

politics played in the life of the J.C.R., and J.C.R. meetings have usually concentrated on domestic matters. Special interest has been shown in the problem of space for the J.C.R. and plans are now going ahead for the conversion of the Mary Gray Allen basement into a J.C.R. bar and television room, leaving the present J.C.R. free for quieter and more serious pursuits!

The conversion of the Mary Gray Allen basement is not the only structural alteration in the College that has caused excitement; much enthusiasm has been shown for plans to extend the College Library in the coming summer St. Hugh's J.C.R. continues to be very socially inclined and this year Freshers' Parties were held with the J.C.R.s of both University College and of Christ Church, and were followed by a very successful Christmas Party, held in the Mordan Hall, which was much enjoyed by everyone who attended.

As usual the Scouts' Christmas Party went very well.

St. Hugh's continues to be well represented in University societies, especially in the fields of music and drama, and the St. Hugh's Choir performed particularly beautifully at the annual carol service in the College Chapel.

Last year St. Hugh's held three open days in which the J.C.R. participated: one for headmasters and headmistresses, one in conjunction with the other women's colleges, for women who are considering application to Oxford, and one for those women who were considering applying to St. Hugh's, and this last we organized on our own. Open days seem to have become part of Oxford college programmes now and those held at St. Hugh's were especially successful, for both the head teachers and the girls were struck by the helpful and very happy atmosphere which has continued to pervade the College this last year, as always.

Games Report. The majority of members of St. Hugh's College seem to enjoy sport, whatever their sporting ability. There has been, as usual, the `hard core', who have gained their Blues and excelled at their sport, but there have been others who played for second University teams, who with their great enthusiasm and their loyalty were invaluable to the Blues themselves. Others played for the College, and not just in conventional women's sports. We are able to boast an excellent darts team, which can beat most men's teams—by fair means, I might add. We have also a thriving Rugby team, soon to be televised, whose great love of the game could not be dampened by bad weather, nor by the Headmaster of Eton! Finally, there are girls who profess no prowess at any sport whatsoever, but are still happy to knock a ping-pong ball around the J.C.R. or hit a croquet ball to victory on the lawns. This is the essence of sport at St. Hugh's: it is enjoyed and gives nearly every member something in common, apart from their academic abilities. The following gained Blues in the 1975-6 season: Helen Bayley (athletics), Veronica Davidson (athletics), Anne Gillard (swimming), Julie Halfpenny (athletics and cross-country), Ann Harris (netball), Mary Hindle (cricket), Erica Ison (netball) Sally Jones (modern pentathlon, tennis and squash), Jane Maggs (rowing), Margaret Maffey (hockey), Beverley Mather (rowing), Beverley Plastow (netball), Elizabeth Robertson (cricket), Hilary Schove (netball), and Mary Schove (netball). The following have been elected University team captains for the 1976-7 season: Jill Griffin (fencing), Julie Halfpenny (cross-country), Hilary Schove (netball) and Jane Sinclair (lacrosse).

MIDDLE COMMON ROOM HE St. Hugh's M.C.R. continues to enjoy the interest and participation of its members, which, both its redecoration, last year, and its greater number of activities this year have fostered. The number of M.C.R. members, both in and out of residence, totals approximately ninety; seventy-five members are currently in residence and of these about thirty per cent are graduates of St. Hugh's. In addition to graduates from other British Universities the M.C.R. boasts students from universities in Czechoslovakia, Canada, Lebanon, U.S.A., U.S.S.R., Greece, and Venezuela. Among these are Rawnsley Students Blanca A. Bartos of Charles University, Prague, and Vera F. Konnova of Moscow State University. Maud Gleason, of Harvard University, U.S.A., has been the recipient of a Danforth Fellowship award.

Academically we are, I think, an impressive group. Thamar E. Maclver is Dame Catherine Fulford Senior Scholar, and an associate member of the M.C.R.; Elizabeth A. Moignard is Senior Scholar at Hertford College (1976-7); Ruth Chadwick, another affiliate member of the Common Room, has a lecturership in Philosophy at Trinity College (1976-7), and Karin Kapadia, a former Vice-President of the Common Room, was a recipient,

T

last year, of the Violet Vaughan Morgan Prize. Olga Palagia, who is completing a D.Phil. in Classical Archaeology this year, has published articles and reviews in the Journal of Hellenic Studies, Athens Annals of Archaeology, and Mnemon. She has also given a lecture, with another scholar, on Greek and Roman sculpture at the 77th General Meeting of the Archaeological Institute of America.

Socially, our joint activities with the Brasenose Hulme Common Room are now an enjoyable part of every term. We have had a champagne and strawberries feast at the Frewin Court Annexe to Brasenose, two 'disco' parties, one of which was preceded by wine and cheese in our Common Room at 12 Canterbury Road, and the Hulme Common Room at Brasenose has become a gathering place for some St. Hugh's members at lunchtime after purchase of a meal in hall there. This arrangement is most convenient for those St. Hugh's graduates who work in libraries or laboratories in the city centre, and our members can also dine in H.C.R. on guest nights.

Last Hilary Term an unofficial liaison developed with the Queen's College and resulted in a successful tea party and a Carnival Disco, held near the time of Shrove Tuesday. Queen's, along with Brasenose, was invited to our summer garden party, complete with croquet and bowls. A dance with St. Anthony's in Trinity Term provided another new and promising contact.

In College three guest nights have taken place over the past three terms, when M.C.R. members bring guests into one of Chef's finest 'special menu' dinners, followed by port and coffee served in New Building Common Room.

With the help of Miss Haswell of the Senior Common Room our link with Queen Elizabeth House remains strong and we shall again have the pleasure of a buffet supper there. And finally, to demonstrate our deep appreciation to the College for help in redecorating the M.C.R., we invited members of the Senior Common Room to share our Christmas tree and holly and some of 'Dr. Johnson's hot mulled wine', along with cheese, biscuits, and mince pies. (Entertainment on a more sophisticated scale has been made possible by the purchase of sets of wine and sherry glasses, sufficient for large numbers!)

In University matters contact has been maintained through the President (M. F. Johnson) who attended the M.C.R. Presidents' Conferences with the Proctors. At one meeting the question of women's colleges becoming mixed was raised, and St. Hugh's voiced the opinion that there still exists a role for women's colleges, both in providing places for women scholars and in fostering, not only scholarship, but perhaps a special independence and self-awareness as well. The M.C.R. this year voted temporarily to disaffiliate from the National Union of Students, to ease our budget, and now that all austerity measures can be eased without undue strain on the treasury the incoming committee can feel free to plan enjoyable events for all M.C.R. members.

The outgoing officers of the M.C.R. Committee (to be replaced in the second week of Hilary Term) are as follows: Mary Franklin Johnson, President; Gloria Danziger, Vice-President; Miriam Greenbaum, Secretary; Margaret Lee, Treasurer, and Julia Jones, Social Secretary. During Hilary and Trinity Ter ms Rosemary Ridd served as Vice-President, and Mary Rees as Treasurer. Miss Rees is now pursuing a degree at another university and Miss Ridd is engaged in research in South Africa for her Oxford degree in Social Anthropology.

ANNUAL MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATION OF SENIOR MEMBERS rri HE fifty-first Annual Meeting of the Association of Senior Members was 1 held in the Mordan Hall on Saturday 3 July 1976, at 3 p.m., the President, Miss Marr, in the chair. One hundred and forty-five members were present.

The President called on the meeting to stand in memory of those members who had died during the year.

The Minutes of z8 June 1975 were accepted and signed and there was no business arising from the Minutes.

The President's Report. 'Madam Principal, fellow members of the Association, I have much pleasure in presenting my report for the past year of the activities of the Association. The Committee has met three times since the last A.G.M., in November, March, and today. At the November meeting we welcomed Dr. Adam as Governing Body Representative in place of Miss Jacobs, who had felt she must resign, owing to pressure of work, on her appointment as Vice-Principal. Miss Jacobs had served on the Committee for a number of years and had given us a great deal of valuable advice and help for which we are most grateful and we owe her a great debt for her lively and informative annual accounts of the achievements of members of the Association. `At our meetings we have been particularly interested to learn about the Memorial to Miss Gwyer, designed and executed by Mr. Laurence Whistler.

Some of us saw it at an exhibition of his work at the Fine Arts Society in London and it is now being shown at the Ashmolean. [Cf. the following statement by the Principal. ED.] We were also delighted to see, at the St. Hugh's Night Sherry Party, the beautiful head and shoulders bust of Miss Gwyer, the work of Maureen Coatman and given to the College by the late Miss Towerton. It now stands outside the Chapel. `We gave some of our time to working out the scheme for priority of places at the Gaudy, ready to meet the contingency that more members might apply to attend the Gaudy Dinner than could possibly be packed—I use the word deliberately—into the Dining Hall. I hope you feel that the final plan is a fair and just one. In accordance with our custom in non-Gaudy years, a Sherry Party was held in London on 31 October 1976. It was a very happy occasion to which members came from a very varied number of years, and drawn from all over London and the Home Counties. The Committee feels that it is a very valuable opportunity for members to meet, but we wish to point out very clearly that it is no longer possible to hold such a party at any hotel or club and make it financially viable, with tickets at a reasonable price. Last year's party was held at the home of one of our members, Lady Johnston, and we are all most grateful to her and to her whole family, for all they did to make the party possible. Only if we can have similar offers to hold the Sherry Parties in members' homes can this custom continue. If any member can help us in this matter will she, please, let us know?

While talking about the Sherry Party, I am sure we should like to congratulate Lady Johnston on becoming Chairman of the Girls' Public Day School Trust, with which so many of us have links. I should also like to convey our warm thanks to Mrs. Cynthia Rayment who carried out all the clerical and financial work in connection with the party.

`At our March meeting we were delighted to hear that Dr. Joan Evans had been created a Dame in the New Year's Honours. There may be some here, like myself, who knew Dame Joan in College in her capacity as Librarian, and are grateful for all the work she did for us and the help she gave us then, before College Librarianship became a professional matter and its scope immensely widened, and before she herself became deeply involved in the researches which brought her so many honours and much distinction in many fields. `Those of you who were present at the A.G.M. last year will remember that the Editor of the Chronicle gave us some rather moving and, in some cases, sad information which she had gleaned from following up certain replies to the 'coloured forms'. These were from our oldest members, of whom there are now more than thirty between the ages of 8z and 92. Some of them had had no personal word from College or contacts with other members for a long time. Several of the fourteen to whom she had written replied very gratefully and with much delight at being remembered. Some of them are ill or disabled or rather lonely, and most of them, through age, infirmity, or distance, cannot come to College reunions. From the A.G.M. last year we sent picture postcards of College, prepared by the Editor, bearing our greetings and signed by a number of us. I saw some of the letters of thanks for these cards, and they were most appreciative. We have been wondering, therefore, whether it would be possible to compile a list of members of the College, in different parts of the country, who would volunteer to have their names and addresses and telephone numbers printed in the Chronicle, in order that elderly members, if they so wished, could contact them. In this way friendly relations could be established and perhaps help given in an emergency. This does seem something which we ought to do as an Association, particularly in an age when the old and elderly are so apt to be overlooked. Many of us, at some time or other, have found ourselves in illness or trouble or loneliness—perhaps even in a new post in an area we do not know. In such circumstances the opportunity to make a friendly contact with someone who has a common interest in St. Hugh's would have been very welcome. The initiative would be with the person desiring the contact and not with the volunteer. If you think this is a good idea, perhaps you would let us know? If you are willing to be a volunteer, the Editor would be delighted to hear from you. [Cf. notice on p. 5o.] `Finally, I must thank all the Committee for their help and encouragement, which have made carrying out the office of President a far less overpowering and frightening experience than I expected it to be. Most especially would I thank Mrs. Jeanette Cockshoot, our Secretary, for all the time, thought, and hard work which she devotes to the affairs of the Association. Only the Committee, and perhaps only the President, can fully appreciate her wealth of experience, her foresight, dedication, and sound judgement which enable the affairs of the Association to run so smoothly. We all owe her a great debt of gratitude. `That, Ladies, completes my annual report. I hope you will feel that your Committee has lived up to St. Hugh's motto—Fidelitas—at least, we have tried to.'

The President then invited the Principal to speak. She said: 'There are only two things I want to say. First of all, how very sorry we are that it has not 24

proved possible to have the memorial glass to Miss Gwyer in College in time for the Gaudy. We hope it will be inserted in the Chapel on r September, and I will let Senior Members know when a date has been fixed for a Dedication Service. I hope to be able to get Lord Ramsey of Canterbury, the Visitor, to take the service. The other thing concerns the Library. This is very much a 'library' Gaudy: I have just come back from a presentation of rare books to the Library by the 1926 Jubilee Year. They have collected over z6o and with this the Library has already bought a handsome early edition of Clarendon's History of the Rebellion, the first book to be printed at the Clarendon Press when it moved to the Clarendon Building in Broad Street. The money will also pay for a show case and for more books. `But more books mean more space for books, and one of our problems has been deciding what to do about extending the Library. It is such a peculiarly handsome building that the notion of changing it in any way we simply could not, in the end, accept. What we do propose is to improve and increase shelving in the Main Library, relighting it, recovering the floor, and heightening the book-stacks by an extra shelf. We are also going to turn one large stack-room into an open-access part of the Library and probably make it into a science reading-room. We shall then take in three undergraduate rooms adjacent and use them as stack-rooms, and add two book-stacks to the Fulford Room, and this will give us a total space for 63,990 vols. By present-day standards that is still not a large library, but it is a good working library, and we are rightly proud of our collection of rare books and unusual items. In the course of next year we shall be launching an appeal for help with this library project. The Building Fund is on the point of being closed and we hope that those of you who have so generously covenanted with us in the past may consider doing the same towards the expansion and maintenance of the Library. It is the heart of the College, and I know how much it has meant to everyone who was an undergraduate here.'

The College Report. Dr. Adam, the Governing Body Representative on the A.S.M. Committee congratulated Dr. Joan Evans on being made a D.B.E. and Professor Joan Hussey on the award of a Leverhulme Emeritus Fellowship, 1975-7. On S.C.R. matters she said the Principal had been much in demand for lecturing and speaking: she had been invited to give a paper at the David Nichol Smith centenary in Edinburgh and had been offered a grant from the Theodore Stewart Fund to work in the National Library of Scotland. She had taken advantage of this in the first two weeks of May. She had been guest speaker at Oxford Society functions as far apart as Jersey and Westmorland and had also presented the prizes at Bradford Girls' Grammar School. She was at the moment an Examiner in the Final Honour School of English, and four other Fellows of the College were also Finals Examiners. Miss Sweeting had been elected to a five-year University Special Lecturership in Geography.

An Open Day for Headmistresses had been arranged for 20—I April and fifty-seven schools had been represented. As there was, at least in some of the smaller schools (i.e. subjects), a problem of finding enough suitable candidates, it had been decided to make early offers of places, though awards would still be made only on the usual Entrance Examination. Mrs. Soulsby, from St. Andrews, was Schoolmistress Student (Geography) in M.T. 1975, 2

5

and the Fanny Seaton Schoolmistress Studentship (endowed under Dr. Seaton's will) had been awarded to Miss Jillian Ramshaw, Head of House at Bedlington High School, Northumbria. The Governing Body had arranged for the erection of a headstone to Dr. Seaton's grave in Wolvercote cemetery.

It lies immediately east of the cemetery chapel.

Consequent upon the retirement of the Bursar and the future retirement of the Treasurer, the administrative offices of the College were in future to be that of Senior Bursar and Domestic Bursar, with suitable arrangement of the duties of each. The post of Senior Bursar had been advertised as open to both men and women and Miss Joan M. N. Milne, O.B.E., M.A. (Cantab.), was elected from a strong field of candidates. She would take up her college duties on i September 1976. Miss Eunice Rothwell, the present Deputy Bursar, had been appointed Domestic Bursar. Mrs. Mary Warnock, an exFellow and Tutor, had been appointed Senior Research Fellow; the Martinengo Cesaresco Research Scholarship in Italian Studies, 1976-7, had been awarded to Miss R. H. Pitt (B.A. Lond.), now a Lecturer at Bristol University. She would continue her research on the Sicilian writer Giovanni Verga.

Dr. Adam was sorry to say goodbye to Mrs. Hilary Brown who had been, for twelve years, of outstanding help to the medical students as Lecturer in Physiology, to Mrs. Sourvinou-Inwood, on her appointment as Lecturer in Archaeology at Liverpool University, to Mrs. Susan Wollenberg, who was resigning her Lecturership in Music, and to Mrs. Beaumont, who had resigned her Lecturership in Zoology.

Dr. Jane Glover (a former Junior Research Fellow), who had recently been making a considerable impact on the musical world by her editing and conducting, had been appointed to a Lecturership in Music; Mr. A. E. Harvey, University Lecturer in Theology had been appointed to a College Lecturership; Mr. Bennet-Clark to a Lecturership in Zoology, and Miss Alayne Street, Demonstrator at the School of Geography, to a Lecturership in Geography.

On J.C.R. matters Dr. Adam reported that the Joint Committee between Junior Members and the Governing Body was now well established and seemed to work very well; and in the academic field the J.C.R. continued to bring us great credit Dr. Adam ended her report with a personal tribute to the retiring Bursar.

Elections. The Hon. Secretary and the Editor of the Chronicle were re-elected.

There were two nominations for the office of President: Miss M. L. Marr, who was eligible to serve for another two years, and Miss K. M. Hobbs. A ballot was held and the votes counted after the meeting. Miss Marr was re-elected.

For the three vacancies on the Committee for the period 1976-80, the following had been nominated and were declared returned unopposed: Mrs. Ann Campbell-Thompson (née Toovey) 1943; Mrs. Sarah Curtis (née Myers) 1954, and Dr. Elizabeth Patricia Jones (née Jacob) 1963.

A vote of thanks to the retiring members of the Committee was proposed

by Mrs. Audrey Carlisle. She thanked Miss Jacobs, who had handed over to Dr. Adam in October 1975, as Governing Body Representative, Lady Johnston, Mrs. Rayment, and Dr. Levick who had each served the Association in their various ways.

The President then asked the Secretary to make a presentation to Miss Major on her retirement on behalf of the A.S.M. The Secretary highlighted the work Miss Major had done over the past twenty years particularly for the Association, and said that Senior Members were under a special obligation to her for stage-managing the Gaudy weekends with tremendous thoroughness and enthusiasm. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble to ensure that these reunions were enjoyed to the full. The Secretary added a personal thank-you to Miss Major for her kindness and co-operation which had been so encouraging throughout her secretaryship, and welcomed the opportunity to make the presentation of a cheque with which to purchase some photographic equipment. With it went the very sincere thanks of the Association and very best wishes for the future.

In thanking the members for their magnificent gift, Miss Major said that the period she had spent at St. Hugh's had brought many challenges and she had found the work an adventure. Preparations for the Gaudy and other College functions had given her great satisfaction. It had also been a delight and privilege to feel that she could share in the life and service of the College.

Miss Major concluded: 'This College has its own special atmosphere, possibly stemming from its noble patron, St. Hugh, whose keynote was in some of his own words: "Love in the heart / Truth on the lips." Long may this atmosphere of devotion and integrity continue.'

The following letter was received by the Hon. Sec., Mrs. Cockshoot, from Miss Major: 27 Victoria Terrace, Dunfermline z8 August 1976 Dear Mrs. Cockshoot, I am still feeling overwhelmed by the tremendous generosity of the Senior Members of St. Hugh's in their gift to me on that most memorable occasion of the 1976 Gaudy. It will give me the greatest pleasure to seek out the camera of my choice and to use it to the full in the leisure that lies ahead.

It has always been one of my ambitions to have the time to capture the beauty of the world around us and if possible to make a record of it. You have all now set me on the way to making this a reality and I am deeply grateful to you. Would you very kindly convey my warmest appreciation and wishes to the Committee and to all the Members ?

Yours very sincerely, EVA MAJOR

Proposed change in the Constitution. This item (remitted from the Annual

General Meeting 1974) was declared lapsed when, in the absence of the original proposer, it was found that nobody present desired to speak.

As there was no other business the meeting was closed.

GAUDY 1976 L the well-loved traditions were maintained but there were also elements `special' to 1976. The weather was hot, so hot that agenda papers and AL menus became fans. The garden had protested a little against the sun, yet the splendid trees had borne up well; there was colour from roses and lavender and, at night, the well-remembered sent of tobacco plants.

27

Annual Meeting proceedings are recorded elsewhere but Miss Major's reply to her presentation captured what she aptly termed St. Hugh's atmosphere of devotion and integrity and her quotation therefore belongs here: `Love in the heart / Truth on the lips.'

By Saturday tea-time we were agog for exchange of news at the garden party: bright frocks and the occasional delicious hat, sunshine and deep shade, inexhaustible teapots and tongues—Gaudy 1976 was in full swing.

Outside Chapel there is a finely sculptured bust of Miss Gwyer and within there will soon be the memorial glass panel engraved by Laurence Whistler.

At Evensong the Principal read—and how appropriately—Ecclesiasticus 44. ; we rejoiced in the playing of today's organ scholar and delighted in the golden green alter cloth with its white swan of St. Hugh. Prayer, thanksgiving, rededication.

The set piece of Gaudy Dinner did not disappoint, gastronomically or otherwise—and what heroines to cook for some 23o on such a night! The menu was adorned by original verses in French, the result of collaboration between two members of the S.C.R., Miss Daniel and Mrs. McMorran.

After an excellent meal, we were in the mood for splendid speeches and both savoured and applauded these.

Mrs. Mary Warnock, proposing the toast of the Association, debated for us the merits and demerits of 'going mixed', setting this in perspective by remarking that the matter was trivial beside two great questions of the day: the need to work with the greatest vigilance to protect academic standards and the alarming tendency for secondary education to detach itself from the universities; she gave thanks for our membership of a living humane organization of reasonable size.

In her presidential reply Miss Marr referred to her membership in 1920 of the first group of women undergraduates to be full members of the University, aware of their privilege and of its other side: commitment to make adequate return in service. The role of university education anywhere was to enable those who desire to become aware of lasting values; these would survive and bind us all together.

The Countess of Huntingdon proposed the health of the Principal and College, appreciating the Principal's insight and gift for communication, and expressing her own pleasure in being in College again fifty years after her first arrival at St. Hugh's; her feeling of delight then was unchanged in 1976.

The Principal thanked senior members for their loyalty and generosity to the College and for their enthusiasm for the things of the mind. [Cf. below. ED.] On Sunday morning there was Communion Service and, before lunch, various hospitable gatherings hosted by generous Fellows and by the Principal herself. So Gaudy 1976 came to its close with its echoes of the past and—on notice boards—hints of wise attitudes towards present-day undergraduates, the young women who are increasingly gaining high honours in Schools and in their subsequent careers; we salute both them and those who educate them.

THE PRINCIPAL'S SPEECH [ the benefit of members who were unable to attend the Gaudy the Principal's Gaudy Dinner Speech is here given ini extract. ED.] `. . . On the [FOR walls of Bath Place, outside the Turf Tavern, a faded graffito is rapidly, perhaps appropriately, disappearing. What it said was: "Nostalgia is not what it was"—a piece of Oxford undergraduate wit which reaffirms your faith in the style and spirit of the place. But at gaudies nostalgia is still what it was and gaudies are very much the time for it. I always seem to be addressing Oxford people after dinner. What I mean is, that I enjoy especially going round to various Oxford Societies in the country and feeling this same warmth and sense of association which we feel as a College, which spreads from individual colleges to all members of the University. This last week I was in Kendal, speaking to the Oxford Society of Westmorland—a splendid body, which has boldly decided to ignore the rash meddling of the retiring Master of University College and his Commission who, at one disgraceful stroke, altered the local history and the geographical boundaries of centuries.

I am glad to tell you that, in his despite, Westmorland still exists and three senior members of St. Hugh's came especially to that meeting because they would not be able to be here with us tonight, and sent their love and greetings to us. `In this exceptional searing summer I am sure we ought to be thinking about our exceptional good fortune, not about our problems, our uncertainties, our future, but about our delight in the present, in the College as it is. No one who has lived through this term in Oxford can have failed to enjoy that fragile, yet paradoxically permanent beauty, which the place itself, in all its new brilliance of golden stone against its frieze of trees and gardens presents, a beauty which rises uniquely out of the sense of continuity which must characterize the life of a learned community. It is especially important to us tonight to think of that sense of continuity, because we have to say good-bye to two Fellows of the College who are retiring, and I have begun my talk by reminding you of permanence in order to preface my remarks on them with a reassurance that retirement is not separation. How could anyone think other at a Gaudy ? Here we have sitting around us, as though they had never left, Dame Kathleen, Professor Headlam-Morley, Miss Bickley, Miss Thorneycroft, and Mrs. Warnock, whom we have just elected to a Senior Research Fellowship and who is, to our delight, coming back to us. And here are all of you, from Miss Glenday, our oldest member present, who came up in 1918, the last year of the First World War, when Main Building was already standing and the physical character of the College already established. It seems hard to believe that Miss Major and Miss Wells will not be busy about their College functions next time we meet, but we are happy to feel that they will still be with us in a less exacting capacity. When I first set foot in this College (literally, because, as you will remember, during my undergraduate years from 1942 to 1945, St. Hugh's was generally known as 'that hospital down the road'), it was for an interview for the post of Tutor in English, in 1954, and the first person I met was Priscilla Wells.

I hope she won't mind my saying that she does not look a year older now than she did then. Her kindness and her calm assurance did a great deal to quieten the agitation of a candidate. Indeed, my recollection of that crucial moment is of the reassurance she and many other Fellows gave me. Miss 29

Jacobs, for instance, whom I had known briefly as an undergraduate, Miss Gradon, who offered to lend me a pair of walking shoes (I hadn't brought any) for the expedition I was deliciously whisked into that night—to hear the nightingales on Otmoor. My predecessor, Molly Mahood, had just bought a car but not passed her test, Peggy Jacobs, a Jehu to this day among drivers, was to accompany us, along with two undergraduates. So I took Miss Wells's reassurance, Miss Gradon's shoes, Molly Mahood's car, and Peggy Jacob's direction and, that summer night before my interview, off we went to Otmoor, through hedgerows of cowparsley and shadows. The only trouble with this story is that the nightingales didn't perform. It seemed a bad omen, but turned out not to be, and now I have learned that whenever I am brought out by some kind member of St. Hugh's to listen to nightingales they remain obstinately silent. Professor Headlam-Morley may remember refusing to believe this, and once, on our way back from Stratford, stopping her car and saying firmly: "Now, Rachel, if you'll only listen and stop talking, you'll hear them". But though we sat silent for a good quarter of an hour no nightingale opened a bill. `I have strayed from what I wanted to say, except that that little expedition, the night before my interview, seemed characteristic to me of the humane and easy life of St. Hugh's, its spontaneity and gratuitousness, and Priscilla Wells and Eva Major have both contributed to that spirit and that life.

Priscilla, who on that tense occasion reassured me, has reassured hundreds of Old Members who come back for their degrees. I shall always think of her on a Saturday morning in the S.C.R., immaculate, concerned, affable, articulate, welcoming Old Members, remembering each of them, concerning herself with their present lives as much as with their past. There are many other things she has done for us, but I should like especially to mention her concern for those who have worked for the College in humble and essential capacities and whom she has never overlooked. We thank her for all this and hope to see her again often, in the future. It is good to know that she will be in Wolvercote among that formidable society of retired Principals and academic women, able to return often to us and able, too, to spend much more time walking in Wytham woods, which she loves so much. `And we say a bewildered good-bye too to Eva Major tonight, whose passionate energy and dedication to the College has left its mark on every physical aspect of the place and of our life in it. It is impossible to think of the College without Eva, simply because she has made the College her life.

She would not want any other tribute than that, but we are all happy to feel that she will be taking to Scotland with her and using for whatever work she involves herself in (for Eva's retirement won't be idle, we know) the skill and universal efficiency she has developed and demonstrated here at St. Hugh's, that she will be taking some of St. Hugh's to Dunfermline, where she is going to live. It is entirely characteristic of Eva Major's imaginative devotion to the College, that she revealed to me the other day her parting gift to us—a new College Flag. Long may it fly to remind us of her, her spirit and her resourcefulness. We shall miss both these Fellows as people who have been deeply involved in our daily life as a college, whose own interests have been knitted into ours for so long. But we wish them great happiness and, at future Gaudies, many happy returns to us. `Tomorrow, as you all know, is the Bi-centenary of the United States of America, and we should be thinking especially tonight of our American 30

Senior Members. There are many of them scattered throughout the Continent, and I hope that some of them may be asked to serve on the Rhodes Scholarship selection committees, which are being set up, now that the Rhodes Trust has decided to open its scholarships to women as well as to men. This is wonderful news, I am sure you will agree with me. It means that we may increase our American membership in future, and those of us who have experienced the affection and the generosity of the great universities of the United States, are happy to think that we may be able to repay some of that debt by welcoming Rhodes Scholars to St. Hugh's.

Thoughts of the Bi-centenary made me recall a distinction I have always noticed between America and England, which in its turn throws up some speculation upon the nature of our own College. I've always noticed that ordinary Americans continually ask if you are going to stay, even seem quite offended when you have to admit that you're not, that is, if you are working in the country. I remarked on this to an American friend who confirmed it and answered: "whereas I'd hardly been in Cambridge, England, where I was spending a year researching, a fortnight, when the little tobacconist down the street was asking me when I was going home!" It is a fair contrast.

Americans welcome you in, to join them, the insular British feel that everyone really in their heart of hearts, longs to go home. In each case it arises from a love and pride in one's country, one's own vast or small piece of land. Now, no one can ask a member of a college: "Are you going to stay?", because in the nature of things, a college population is shifting and continually changing, but, for all that bewildering sequence of years and faces which kaleidoscope before us—we few, almost permanent people—the College is still a place to return to and Gaudies, in a sense, are home-comings. May I speak for the College as a whole when I thank you all for your loyalty, your affection, your unfailing generosity, your enterprise, and ardour for those things of the mind that you learned to love here? You were the College when you spent your undergraduate years here, and you are the College at large, now scattered over the country, but come together on this occasion to celebrate its existence. Members of St. Hugh's College, let us drink a final toast which unites the Association and the College. I give you simply: "St. Hugh's".'

RUTH LESLIE PHILLIPS

MISS

R. L. PHILLIPS, who was at St. Hugh's from 1909 to 1913, died on 9 October 1976, in her home at Lexden (Colchester). Miss Phillips was 'a daughter of the Church' and her home had been the Vicarage at Stonehouse, Gloucestershire. After she went down she taught first in private schools, but in 1918 she joined the W.R.N.S. In 1919 she taught briefly at the Central High School, Newcastle, and then, in the same year, she went to Colchester County High School where, from 1936 until she retired, she was Senior English Mistress. The following tribute has been sent by Miss 0. M. Potts. ED. `Leslie Phillips was in her third year when I came up to St. Hugh's. She was reading English and, for some reason which I cannot remember, she had a fourth year, so we 'freshers' got to know her fairly well. St. Hugh's was then very small. Someone wrote to me to say that her chief memory of Leslie was that 'with all her 5ft. nothing in height, she was a most graceful canoe punter'! Leslie was very vivacious and talkative and she had a keen sense of humour. Some forty years after we had all gone down she used to come and stay with Lorna Southwell (who had been an exact contemporary at St. Hugh's) and me in our Shropshire home, and our friends called her `Puck', because she was still so quick in her movements and so 'puckish' in her behaviour. She devoted her whole life to teaching, and when she retired she remained in Colchester near her last school and her many friends there, living in the same house to which she had come in 1924 with two of her friends. After their deaths she went on living there. In her last letter to me she wrote: "People are ceaselessly kind in coming to see me, and I I have help in the garden and in the house from people who are among my oldest friends". `I spoke to someone the other day who saw her about a fortnight before her death, when she was still, apparently, well and fairly active. She must have had only a very short illness.'

NANCY LEWIS

(nĂŠe

BAKER)

ANCY BAKER was at St. Hugh's from 1919 to 1922; she came up from Oxford High School after a spell in the Land Army. With her contemporaries she was matriculated at the beginning of the second year,

N 34

the statute admitting women to membership of the University having been passed in Trinity Term 192o. In her second year, too, The Lawn was opened; Nancy and her friends, including (Dame) Mary Cartwright, were some of the first undergraduates to live there. She read German, in a small but enthusiastic group who began to build the school up again after it had languished in the war years. Her interests included the Bach Choir, hockey, and everything connected with the river—diving was her forte.

Oxford was Nancy's home; her father was J. B. Baker, Censor of the NonCollegiate Students and a staunch supporter of degrees for women. After graduating she taught for a few years and then married another member of the German school, Cecil Lewis of Lincoln College. He lectured at Providence University, Rhode Island, and then for many years was Professor of German at Trinity College, University of Toronto. So Nancy's married life was spent overseas, but they kept in touch by frequent visits to England and to Germany in summer vacations, both before and after the second war.

Nancy was full of energy and fun, perseverance and enjoyment of life, although in later years she had to undergo several operations on her hip.

Cecil predeceased her by less than a year; their two married sons are settled in Canada.

HELEN ECKFORD PEARSON LINDSAY (née DOUGLAS)

H

ELEN DOUGLAS, Mona as she was always called, came up in 1921 to read Mathematics and went down in 1923 to be married without taking a degree. She will be remembered for her outstanding vitality, good looks, and charm. She was also a very kind person with a strong sense of justice and great courage. This last showed especially in later life when she was struck by arthritis, which she fought for many years with determination and no self-pity. She spent much of her married life in Kenya, where her husband, Kenneth, was a District Officer, and afterwards in Palestine under the Mandate. Her husband predeceased her and she leaves one son.

R. P.

DOROTHY NEVILLE ROLFE OROTHY NEVILLE ROLFE, Commoner of the College 1923-6, of a distinguished naval family, came up from Clifton High School D with a tradition of zeal and duty, and she not so much read as devoured French and Italian, and lacrosse. As soon as she went down a back injury asserted itself and she lay flat for a year.

Punctual to her foreseeable recovery she taught mainly citizenship for a few terms at Westonbirt, then started, with Margaret Godley, also of St. Hugh's, at the Hon. Mrs. Charles Ponsonby's private finishing school in Oxfordshire Dorothy had found her niche—to guide a young person from school into life ahead, professionally as the stalwart secretary capable of almost anything, and later perhaps to marriage in difficult times. Girls came 35

from all parts of the world, sobered and grateful to the 'House of Citizenship'.

From houses in Braham Gardens, London, it moved to Ashridge and then, after fearful administrative difficulties, to Hartwell House, Aylesbury, the Stuart seat of the Fairfax family and despite a serious fire it ran splendidly on, to a royal garden party with the Guards' Band on the lawns.

Dorothy retired as Principal in 197o, whilst young enough to be missed.

From her fine flat in Hans Place, which the Governors gave her, she embarked on a new career as Secretary to the Friends of the British Museum, whose membership quadrupled in two years, and the Journal became one of the learned valued kind. But in the Isle of Man she had a fall and despite a characteristic flare-up, the flame was finally extinguished at 72, in 1976.

Ex-pupils were always honoured to have her stay on her long travels and fed her material for the valuable lectures. Of her own evolution, to appear gracious, to wear beautiful clothes, and present an impeccable appearance (for these did not come naturally) she wrote two books: Nothing Venture and The Power without the Glory. She made clever use of her descent from Princess Pocohontas in the U.S.A., and her elegant portrait by John Teesdale hangs on the famous staircase at Hartwell.

VIOLET HELEN TRUMAN

MISS

TRUMAN came up to St. Hugh's in 1913 from the Ladies' College, Cheltenham, to read for the Certificate in General and Regional Geography, which she obtained in 1914, and for the Diploma in Geography, which she obtained in 1915. She taught briefly at Sheffield High School and then, until she retired in 1954, at Wimbledon High School G.P.D.S.T., where she had become Senior Mistress in 1946. She was appointed Manager to the Old Central School, Wimbledon, in 1957 and made Foundation Governor of St. Mary Merton Secondary Church Schools. She was an F.R.G.S. and M.A.G.S. In her last letter of nearly two years ago she wrote: 'I have only just come home again after being in hospital on and off for three months. I have always suffered from very soft bones . . and am unstable on my legs and so fall very easily and that generally causes a fracture somewhere . . . . I live alone but my friends are very good to me and on the whole I manage quite well with a very good "daily" three mornings a week'.

A contemporary, Miss G. Vaughan, wrote: 'although she was older than most of us, when she came up, Violet fitted in well and was much liked.

And she was a very good hockey and tennis player.'

ED.

WINIFRED ELEANOR JOCELYN (nĂŠe SHEPHERD) INIFRED, known to her contemporaries as 'Freddie', died suddenly in July 1974. It was discovered that she was suffering from an inW operable tumour in the brain. She was still teaching and was very active until her last short illness. She was the widow of the Revd. Kenneth Jocelyn, Vicar of Erith, and she had taken an active part for years in the life of a very busy parish. She read English at St. Hugh's.

FLORENCE GERTRUDE SUTTON

MISS

FLORENCE SUTTON, whose home was in Truro, where her father was a medical practitioner, came up to St. Hugh's from Truro High School in 1910. In 1916 she became a Secretary to the Y.W.C.A. and, in 1918, went to China as Secretary for its School and College work. From 1925-9 she was Editorial Secretary for the World Office of the Y.W.C.A. and left for Australia in 1929 to continue her work there. From 1937-9 she was Y.W.C.A. Secretary in Durban, combining that with the post of Warden of their Hostel there. She left S. Africa on the outbreak of war, to return to this country where she became Organizer of the Y.W.C.A.
