Principal's Report The College was sad to lose, after fourteen years, Miss Romney, Tutor in Philosophy, who resigned from 30 September 1983; we wish her every happiness for the future. We are sad, also, to record the death on 3 July 1983 of Miss Gray, Emeritus Fellow since her retirement as Tutor in Classics, and of three Honorary Fellows, Emeritus Professor Dorothy Stuart Russell, who died on 20 October 1983, Dame Ida Mann, who died on 19 November, and Miss Challans (the novelist Mary Renault), who died on 13 December. Mr Wilkinson, Tutor in Geography, was awarded a Sir Hamilton Gibb Fellowship at Harvard for Hilary Term 1984; Mrs Owen, Tutor in Philosophy, was awarded a Fellowship at the Center for Hellenic Studies, Washington, for 1983/4; Miss Glover has been appointed Artistic Director of the London Mozart Players. Mr Raby, Lecturer in Islamic Art & Architecture in the Oriental Faculty, was appointed an Additional Fellow from 1 May 1983; Mr Strawson was appointed temporary Lecturer in Philosophy for 3 years. The College was fortunate in gaining two 'New Blood' posts: Mr Watts as Tutor in Biochemistry and Mr Cooper as Tutor in Chemistry. Two new Honorary Fellows have been elected: Viscount Tonypandy, ex-Speaker of the House of Commons, and Sir Walter Marshall, Chairman of the Central Electricity Generating Board. We have had an unfortunate year in that, as well as losing several Honorary and Emeritus Fellows, we have lost two undergraduates: Katherine Lawrence died from injuries received in a road accident; Catherine Townsend died after a short illness just after Christmas. Both are sadly missed by the whole College.

With two years to run, the Development Appeal reached approximately £1,586,807 by the end of January 1984; this includes the largest single benefaction ever received by the College, an anonymous gift of £280,000 in honour of Dr Busbridge, to endow a Fellowship in Mathematics named after her, and graduate and undergraduate Scholarships. Miss Luke has been elected the first holder of the Fellowship. It also includes a substantial bequest from Miss Gray. The Dame Kathleen Kenyon Memorial Scholarship Fund for overseas students, which is part of the Appeal, has started very well with £5,820 donated, and the Treasure Hunt (also part of the Appeal) has raised £665. The Mary Lunt Memorial Fund now stands at £11,440.

A Centenary Committee has been set up to organize the celebration of the College Centenary Year 1986, and Senior Members will be kept informed of the College's plans.

This year there are four American students spending their Junior Year at St Hugh's; and two more Hong Kong students have joined us under our Hong Kong Studentship Scheme. R. T .

Middle Common Room Unfortunately the MCR has not had many new members this year, but we have seen the return of our ex-president Elizabeth Baigent from a year studying in Germany, and among those who have joined us is the new Moberly Scholar Vanessa Winchester, formerly at the Oxford Polytechnic.

Our Treasurer, Jeri Johnson, has spent two terms as a lecturer in English at New College and other members, including Lynne Booth and Sue Astbury, have spent time in research abroad. In fact Sue is just about to leave for a three-month stay in Dallas, Texas, as part of her work for her D Phil.

MCR members take part in a wide range of College activities and have many links with other Colleges. Among our most successful social events this year have been a summer garden party and some well attended guest nights.

The new committee for 1984 is as follows: Sue Astbury (President), Lusia Stopa (Vice-President), Mary Elford (Secretary), Jo Dosson and Vicky Webb (Social Secretaries). Jeri Johnson continues as Treasurer.

Anna Orlowska (President)

Junior Common Room The academic year 1983-4 saw the Junior Common Room much in the news, from the student newspaper Cherwell (investigating the delights of our newly acquired tortoise, Rachel) to all the national dailies (investigating our newly acquired mathematician . . .).

The new JCR Committee's term began in Hilary Term; one of our first actions was to install a pinball machine(!), the surprisingly large proceeds of which we were able to give to charity. 'Hugonews', the College newssheet, met an untimely death with the election of its editors to the JCR Committee; the Boat Club acquitted itself superbly once more—they won Christ Church Regatta, blades at Torpids, the acquisition of a new Carbocraft was mooted and a sponsored row from London to Oxford to help pay for it was achieved in style.

On dry land, the St Hugh's Players backed the premiere of a student written play 'Angel's Charge', which was performed in the Mordan Hall, and members of the JCR Committee were privileged to attend the unveiling of the Principal's portrait!

22

In Trinity Term, our attention was turned to the more serious matter of whether or not St Hugh's should have mixed JCR and MCR. The JCR was determined to have its voice heard, and we held two special meetings, a referendum, put out an information sheet and I was able to put our point of view at the special governing body meeting convened to discuss the question.

Other momentous happenings of the term included the usual discussion about fees—to which every JCR President looks with fear and apprehension: how much will they want for a glass of orange juice this year? . . . etc.

The Boat Club beat everyone in sight in this and Michaelmas Term; in both terms too, the Players put on well acclaimed revues, taking one of them to the Edinburgh Festival for the first time.

Michaelmas Term saw also the inauguration of a women's group at St Hugh's, and self defence classes for those who wished to take advantage of them (possibly to fight off the 'Gentlemen of the Press' who were to be seen lurking around College trying to worm information about Ruth Lawrence out of them: we all held out of course). The election of Catherine Minton marked the end of our term of office; it has been exhilarating and exhausting—but we are proud of what we could achieve.

We were very sad to note the deaths of Kathy Lawrence and Catherine Townsend.

Rachel Mellor (President)

Geographical Work in China Since the death of Mao Ze Dong and the overthrow of the "Gang of Four", China has opened its doors in a cautious way to foreign experts.

Modernization of industry and science are two of the programmes which are being pursued, so experts in many different fields and from many different countries have found themselves invited to China to help in these modernization programmes. I have been working in the past few years with various Karst (limestone) and Karst Hydrology groups. In all, onesixth of the land in China, particularly in the south, is formed of massive limestones so that problems that Karst workers investigate all over the world are developed particularly well in this part of China. This is the reason I have been working with Chinese Karst morphologists for the last few years.

23

I went to China in 1977 with a Royal Society delegation. The "Gang of Four" had only recently been overthrown and we were some of the first geographers to visit China since the Cultural Revolution. Since then, China has been much more opened up and I have been able to pay three more visits. The main problem in the Karst areas is basically shortage of surface water, both for drinking and for irrigation, since all water in these areas is circulating underground. While Chinese Karst studies are not so sophisticated as in Europe and North America, the Chinese have a great deal of knowledge and understanding of Karst problems; the problem for them is much more one of infra-structure and development rather than the understanding of Karst science. Karst research is organized in teams consisting of geologists, engineers, geographers, environmental physicists and chemists, who work not only to solve applied problems but also more fundamental ones relating to the development of Karst terrain.

In the past two years I have been able to see large areas of Karst in south and south-west China. In 1982 I attended the first all-China Karst Conference at Luizhou; at this Conference over 100 Chinese gave papers and films, and also demonstrations of caving techniques. Following the Conference I was able to visit Guizhou Province, one of the poorest in China.

Here I was shown recent developments in irrigation and the use of underground water. I also met teachers from training colleges and university departments, and accompanied members of staff to many picturesque areas of Karst in Guizhou. This Province has only recently been opened up to foreigners and they are now building many hotels and roads in order to realise the tourist potential. In the same year I worked with colleagues from the Academia Sinica in an area of Yunnan, near Kunming. We worked in an area of the Stone Forest (Shiling), which is now a tourist Park. The Stone Forest district consists of impressive pinnacles of limestone, arising out of a cover of clays and sands; the origin of the pinnacles and their age are still controversial morphological problems.

During my tours to China I have lectured to students and staff in many geographical institutes. Lecturing in China involves long hours, because each part of one's talk has to be translated and the lecture is then followed by quite a long session of discussion. Despite the language barrier, it is amazing how much rapport one can have with the students and how easy it is to discuss problems about Karst with an audience that does not understand English. This is because their knowledge of the theoretical basis of the subject is very good and so the students and the staff quickly understand the points that one is trying to make. In each area also that I visited I was shown many of the fine caves that are being opened for tourism, and also asked to make assessments of the value of the caves for both tourist and educational purposes. The thing that is most striking about the caves is the hundreds of people, both Chinese and foreigners, that visit them.

24

During my visits in China, I have travelled partly by air, but also quite long distances by train. First Class travel on Chinese trains is very comfortable and, in many ways, the best way to travel. I have met on the trains many Chinese professional people who are always wanting to practise their English, and to talk to one. The trains provide good Chinese meals, and, though it is a help to be able to speak some Chinese, it is not essential. Over the years I have been learning a little spoken and written Chinese; normally when I am working in the field, I am provided with interpreters, many of whom I have got to know very well. They are always interested in English life and very anxious to read English novels.

In 1983 I worked in the Karst Institute in Guilin, a town in Guangxi, famous for its steep peaks of limestone set in green rice-covered fields. In Guilin I worked for some weeks with a Ministry of Geology team, who accompanied me to many parts of the Guilin area. We were particularly interested in the pathways of underground streams and in the use of different techniques for the separation of underground waters. The Karst Institute in Guilin has a Museum of Karst, possibly the first of its kind in the world. In addition to exhibits and laboratories, the Institute houses over one hundred scientists working on Karst, together with technical and clerical staff. Each year new students join the staff and these are trained by the more senior members.

Guilin is a tourist town and, in the past few years, with the development of a large scale tourist industry thousands of tourists have literally been "put through their paces" in the Guilin area. The tours include the boat trip down the Lijang river, certainly one of the most scenic boat journeys in the world. New hotels are being built and newly developed caves opened to the public. Guilin illustrates the acute problems faced by the Chinese in the development of tourism in China, as the whole area could be ruined by these developments. It is a problem that the Chinese are very aware of.

I have grown to know Guilin city very well and am quite often stopped in the streets by young people trying to practise their English; before long one is conducting an English lesson to several people! The Chinese work from 8 a.m.-12 noon in the morning, and then take a fairly long midday break, and begin work at 2 p.m. and go through till 6 p.m. When we are doing field work there we take picnic lunches and it is just like being in Europe or America on a field party. So far there are no facilities for camping in China.

This is because concepts of "roughing" it, as we are used to in Western Europe or North America, are not highly developed in China. Visitors to China must always stay in hotels. However, many new cities and towns are now being opened up for foreign visitors, and students who have a knowledge of the Chinese language now travel freely by bus and train in these open areas. But for visitors without a knowledge of Chinese the guided tour is still the most convenient way to travel in China. Traditional dances and 25

plays can be seen in the tourist seasons in all the main towns. The Peking Ballet and Chinese acrobats are always very popular and represent a facet of Chinese life that all visitors should go to see.

I have found working in China a privilege and a challenge. The people are so enthusiastic and keen, and want to develop. What I found so interesting in working with my Chinese colleagues was that, despite the cultural and language barriers, our knowledge and ideas of Karst have much in common. We may be culturally worlds apart but are intellectually extremely close.

Dorothea Helen Forbes Gray The following address was given by the Principal at the Memorial Service for Miss Gray held in the College chapel on 26 November 1983 In Dorothea Gray's file there is a reference sent for her when she applied in 1934 for the post of tutor in classics at St Hugh's. It is brief but to the point: Miss Dorothea Gray came to me for Greek prose while she was working for Honour Moderations.

She is a brilliant student, a really good classic, and, as far as I can judge from my experience of her as a pupil, sure to win the lively interest and respect of her students. Her qualities of character and sympathy seem to me as remarkable as her intellectual gifts.

It is signed 'Gilbert Murray'.

I don't think in all the years I knew Dorothea Gray that she ever talked to me about having been taught by Murray, or that she ever mentioned his opinion of her. She spoke often about him, though, especially when, as a young English tutor here, I asked her advice over the then English Preliminary Examination which included a study of Aristotle's Poetics and of Greek tragedy in translation.

This was, I grew to realize, entirely characteristic. She would tackle any discussion of her subject objectively with no reference to her own contribution to it, or to her contact with the distinguished scholars whose views she would comment on and assess impartially and judiciously. For a woman warmly given to anecdote and personal reminiscence this can only be taken as a sign of great intellectual modesty, reserve and tact. These same qualities marked Dorothea Gray's own work. One of her colleagues speaks of her "selfless editing of J L Myer's Homer and his Critics." Another comments, "It was characteristic of her lack of careerism to devote a major 26

scholarly effort to preparing for posthumous publication the work of another scholar". Her archaeological articles on architecture and metal working are an important contribution to learning, but what perhaps gave her greatest pleasure was the reprinting in G F Kirk's Language and Background of Homer of her article on Homeric epithets, where her knowledge of the text and language of Homer, and her genuine literary insight gave unique value to her views. Of the distinction of her archaeological work I am no proper judge, but her career speaks for itself.

She began her academic life as tutor at St Hugh's as an ancient historian, but was appointed University Lecturer in Homeric Archaeology in 1947. A note in the most recent report of the British School at Athens traces her subsequent archaeological career: She had excavated at Mycenae and at Myrtou in Cyprus, and revisited these sites in 1951. In 1954 she assisted at the School's excavations in Chios, and in 1958 travelled extensively in Greece and Turkey. As Visiting Fellow she returned to the School in 1962 . . . Her old college, Somerville, honoured her in 1951 by electing her to the Woolley Travelling Fellowship.

Her publications were comparatively few, but distinguished and will keep her memory alive. In her important contribution ('Seewesen') to the Archaeologia Homerica series she enjoyed the collaboration of Dr Marinatos, through which she was able to make use of the frescoes from Thera (then recently discovered). Her application of the Homeric evidence to the interpretation of the monuments, and vice versa, shows her own judgment.

It was as an archaeologist that I first thought of Dorothea on my arrival at St Hugh's in 1954. The window of my flat in St Margaret's Road commanded a view of the college grounds which stretched to the Fellows' Garden where, in those days, fellows were offered small plots of their own to cultivate. As I sat at my desk I could see, to my original astonishment but later to my increasing admiration, the figure of Dorothea savagely and determinedly digging. She was unaware that anyone observed her; it would not have discomposed her had she known. The fact that she was a cripple (from a childhood attack of polio) could not be concealed, and she had long grown used to it and was unembarrassed by it. Great courage and resolution over many years had almost made her indifferent to the fact; she dug, she drove, she swam; she never let her affliction interfere with what she wanted to do; she never asked for pity or special consideration on account of it. In some sense she conferred on her disablement a sort of dignity. The gaiters, the stick, the determined pace were her own, singling her out like some peculiarity that those who knew her grew to accept as a part of her personality rather than to grieve over as a handicap. This in itself is 27

evidence of a remarkable spirit, and high courage combined with the same lack of self-regard that distinguished her scholarship.

But though I thought of Dorothea as an archaeologist, I knew her as a lover of literature. It was Scott, Jane Austen, Thackeray, Trollope, Dickens and the modern detective story that brought us together. She loved to talk about these, publicly and privately. To the end of her life one of her greatest pleasures was to swap favourite characters or passages, to argue over disputed interpretations, to betray the number of times she read and re-read the English classics she loved. It was this instinctive literary sympathy that Gilbert Murray had recognized and remembered in her, and it was this that she communicated to generations of pupils. He was right to believe that she was sure to win the lively interest and respect of her students. For Dorothea Gray had a special quality that enabled her to become an outstanding tutor. She loved young people—had done so since her school-teaching days at St. Leonard's; she loved them unenviously and unpossessively. Her file is full of letters sent to the various Principals under whom she served about her pupils, their personalities, their problems, their prospects in Mods, their possible futures. And these are wholly compassionate, unsentimental, just and generous appraisals, betraying a continuous almost parental interest in generations of pupils—the clever, the mediocre, the difficult and the amiable. To educate them was her vocation; to keep up with them her natural instinct and pleasure. And they responded in the warmest fashion. One of them has said to me that nothing was more reassuring, indeed more flattering, than Dorothea Gray's consistent support and interest. That superficial affectation of savagery in manner which was one of Dorothea's ploys for detaching herself from any appearance of sentiment, never deceived them for a moment. They knew that she would hide their delinquencies, cover their short-comings, scold them and sympathise with them, and they knew that she was always on their side.

Her relations with undergraduates living in The Lawn who were not her own pupils were equally warm. She would open the locked front door to late comers (for she was always up later than anyone else); like a benevolent despot in her own house she would disobey college rules if it suited her, but only for the convenience of her undergraduates, never for her own. Her lameness had accustomed her to continual personal inconvenience so that until she was old and almost immobile, it seemed she scarcely noticed it.

In temperament Dorothea Gray was very much a Scot and immensely proud of that heritage. She had the mixed prudence and generosity of the Scots; the tough endurance, the stubbornness, determination, the loyalty amounting to open partisanship, the belief in principle and integrity. It was fortunate indeed for her college that we were able to secure a place for her retirement in the rooms of the house where she had spent her active days as 28

a tutor. She was to survive for ten years after her retirement, still a part of the community to which she had so generously given her time, her love and her service. It was delightful to visit her and talk to her of the occasions she most liked to remember—her years in Washington during the war; her archaeological expeditions; her books, her many friends. Though she was alone for much of the time during those last ten years she never struck one as a lonely or solitary woman. There was too much vitality, too much courage and self sufficiency, too much basic generosity of spirit for her to become isolated.

One of her old colleagues, Miss Procter, who visited her regularly, used to grieve over the fact that Dorothea seemed not to want to pursue her academic interests in her retirement. It seemed to her old Principal and friend that the final years could only be lightened, as they were for herself, by a continued pursuit of knowledge. But Dorothea Gray had other resources and other interests which, as her eyesight failed and her lameness increased, kept her alive and alert; kept her often happy. These were talk and contact with young people and old friends, reminiscence, recollections of more adventurous times, the continual presence in her memory of great literature, Greek, Latin and English, the occasional flare-up of old battles, old scars (but these now almost a game); a bash at The Times crossword; almost always something that touched her sense of humour, and finally the great pleasure of getting to know new fellows and members of the SCR and generations of new dwellers in The Lawn. A few days before she was taken into hospital I met the scout who had carried a tray of lunch to her and asked how Miss Gray was. "Oh", she replied, "it's always such a pleasure to go to her, Principal. Never a word of complaint. It makes you feel better to be with her."

The crippled of any kind can become bitter and reclusive; most of us would in their circumstances: or they can, with extraordinary courage, set us the sort of example a college servant found in Dorothea Gray. Her colleagues and pupils found other inspiration, too, in her dedication to her college, and her subject, and in her generous spirit and her tenacity. She was above all an individual—herself, and she will be vividly remembered as long as anyone who knew, or met her, or was taught by her survives. We remember her today with love, with respect and with gratitude.

Annual Meeting of the Association of Senior Members The fifty-eighth Annual Meeting of the Association of Senior Members was held in the Mordan Hall on Saturday, 25 June 1983, the President in the chair. Thirty-two members were present.

Members stood in silence in memory of those who had died during the past year.

Apologies for absence had been received from the Principal, and from Dr Busbridge who was in hospital for an eye operation. The President felt that the meeting would wish to send her their very best wishes.

The Minutes of the meeting held on 3 July 1982, published in the Chronicle, were signed.

Business arising from the Minutes. The President drew attention to the obituary of Dame Margery Perham published in the Chronicle, and including addresses given at two memorial services by Professor Roland Oliver, Sir Norman Chester, and Dr A F Madden.

President's Remarks. Dr Wallis first made an apology for the late circulation of the notice of the AGM. This was due to an unavoidable delay in the production of the Chronicle which was not likely to recur.

Since the last Annual Meeting, the Committee had met three times, in October 1982, March 1983 and this afternoon. Its major concern had been to launch plans to celebrate the College's Centenary year of 1986 and to help the College Appeal Fund. The Book and Picture Sale held at St Hugh's on 23 October 1982 had been a great success and had raised ÂŁ950 for the Appeal Fund. After the sale, members had adjourned to enjoy a party given by the College. The President thanked the team of workers and all those who so generously contributed books and pictures, including some really valuable items. One undergraduate considered it the best sale he had been to, and the President could well believe it.

For the planning of the Centenary publication the Committee had convened a working party, to which various senior members had been co-opted. Reserving details of the outcome to items 5 and 6 of the Agenda, the President reported that a first meeting had been held at Mrs Potter's house on 24 March 1983, and expressed her thanks to Mrs Potter for her hospitality.

The President then gave the dates of forthcoming events. The London Sherry Party was fixed for Friday, 23 September 1983, and again through the good offices of Ms E Fairless, it would be at the Institute of Actuaries.

Tickets were ÂŁ2.50. The invitation was enclosed with the Chronicle.

The next Gaudy was fixed for the weekend of 30 June 1984, a date slightly 33

earlier than usual, to help the College with its other arrangements. There would be a Centenary Gaudy in 1986. In answer to a query raised by Miss Kemp, it was stressed that the priority groups were not exclusive: all members were included in the invitation. The Secretary would try to make this clearer on the invitation. There would be one priority group in 1984 all years up to and including 1940.

Dr Wallis said that she felt deeply honoured at the privilege of being President, and would like to give special thanks to the Hon. Secretary for her most efficient handling of committee affairs.

It had been Dr Ridler's first year as Editor of the Chronicle which she had had to combine with completing her doctoral thesis. She was to be congratulated on an excellent production.

The President thanked the other members of the Committee, mentioning especially Dr Green, who, as Governing Body Representative, was an excellent liaison officer with the College. Finally, she expressed the Association's appreciation of the College's help and hospitality.

College Report (given by Dr Green in the Principal's absence). This year in College has been one of consolidation rather than of change. Though there has been some change. Two new Fellows joined us in the autumn, Mrs Dinah Birch, who is replacing Mrs Butler during her three-year British academy research award and Miss Jane Glover, whom we welcomed as a Senior Research Fellow. It was an especial pleasure to welcome these two Fellows as they are both old members of the college. Mrs Birch has recently completed her D Phil in English, and had been a lecturer at Merton. Miss Glover is currently Musical Director of Glyndebourne Touring Opera Company.

This summer as ever some senior members are leaving us; Miss Gillian Romney, tutor in Philosophy for twelve years, is going to devote herself to research and writing in Leeds. Mrs Colson, who has been an Additional Fellow, has resigned her University Lecturership in Anthropology; we will particularly miss her informative stories of life in South America. Dr Anthony Cass, our BP Junior Research Fellow, was appointed to a University Lecturership in Biotechnology and Biochemistry at Imperial College, an appointment which he took up in May. Boris Rankov, our Rhys-David Junior Research Fellow, comes to the end of his term with us this summer, but will be continuing to work on Roman Archaeology in Oxford and to teach here. Mr Yearley, the Elizabeth Wordsworth Junior Research Fellow, has not left us but has taken a year's leave of absence, to take up a temporary appointment at Oxford Polytechnic.

We are fortunate to be able to add to our numbers next year. In the middle of the freeze on academic jobs, the Government decided to create two hundred new posts, mainly in science subjects, around Christmas time.

34

Consequently universities all over the country sprang into action in order to get these so-called 'new blood' Fellows into post by next academic year. St Hugh's was fortunate enough to acquire two of these posts, one in Biochemistry, and we will be welcoming next October as a new Fellow in Biochemistry, Dr Anthony Wates, and one in Chemistry, which we hope to be filling shortly.

We will also have a new lecturer amongst us next year, Dr Galen Strawson, who will be replacing Miss Romney while her post is frozen.

Miss Marilyn Booth has been appointed as Joanna Randall-Maclver Junior Research Fellow, and Mrs Vanessa Winchester as Moberly Senior Scholar.

For some time we have been exercised in debating what would be a suitable memorial for Miss Procter. After considering several possibilities, we decided that a fountain and pool in the garden would commemorate her in one of the areas of College which was particularly dear to her. A start has been made on the pool, though I would urge senior members who go looking for it to approach with caution. At present it is just a rather large hole to the north of the Wolfson Building: we hope, however, that by the time of next Gaudy it will be complete. One unanticipated hazard was that the site chosen cut into the course of the main telephone cable, unmarked on College maps, so this had to be diverted.

The College has continued to distinguish itself at rowing. In this year's summer eights, St Hugh's first eight headed the river in the women's division for the second year running. We hope our run of success will be as long as that of Boris Rankov who represented the University in his sixth (or was it seventh?) Boat Race and victory against Cambridge.

On a more serious note the University has been considering for the last two terms the methods of entry to the University and in the last few weeks the Dover Committee, of which Mrs Smart, our Fellow in Law, is a member, has produced its report. It will take some time before all the Colleges decide whether to proceed on its recommendations or not. These aim to achieve a more ordered and equitable method of admission to Oxford.

I now come to the part of the report in which I give you news of successes of old members, which have become known since the publication of the

Chronicle.

Jean Braybrook has been appointed lecturer in French at Birkbeck College, London.

Penny Chaloner has been appointed to a University lecturership in Chemistry at Sussex University.

Jane Weston has been awarded a Senior Scholarship at Christ Church to study for an M Sc in Physiological Sciences.

Margaret Smart has been awarded a James Ingram Halstead Scholarship at St Hilda's College to study for a M Litt in Music.

Jennifer Dennis has been given leave to supplicate for the degree of D M. 35

Margaret Laing (née Caird) has been highly commended for her English poem on a sacred subject in the 1983 competition.

Fiona Keil has been awarded a German Academic Exchange service grant to attend a University course in Germany this summer.

Fiona Flory has a Heath Harrison Junior Scholarship, and Caroline Dobson a Michael Foster Memorial Scholarship.

College Development Appeal. I would first like to mention the particularly encouraging response that we have received to the Mary Randle Lunt fund.

The sum we have so far achieved is £11,246.40, which will go to the furtherance of the study of Biochemistry at St Hugh's.

The College has received its largest single benefaction to date, to endow one of its Mathematics Fellowships in honour of Ida Busbridge, and to be under her name. It was made by an old pupil of Ida's, and her husband.

Details of the benefaction and the identity of the donors will be made public later in the year. Meanwhile we can say that it will bring the total the appeal to £1,407,226. This sum includes a recent legacy of £9,000 and a generous covenant of £4,000.

One of the spin-offs of the appeal is the events that it occasions. For one of these the College has to be most grateful to the senior members who organized a book and picture sale on a Saturday afternoon in October. This hall was in quite a different state at that time. The sale was most successful financially, raising just under £1,000. In other ways its success could be measured by the large number of satisfied customers seen struggling down the Woodstock and Banbury Roads under piles of books. We are most grateful to all old members who contributed books, in some cases quite precious ones, and to all those who helped on that occasion.

Ideas for Centenary Celebrations (1986). The President explained that it was hoped to produce a Christmas or greetings card. There were two possible subjects—an etching of St Hugh's probably dating from the 1920's, belonging to Dr Ridler—and a water colour of the College and terrace, presented to Miss Gwyer on her retirement, and which now belonged to Dr Adam. This was by Bernard Gotch who had lived in the Lawn. Both were on display. The President would consult a colleague about patterns and prices.

The major project was a St Hugh's Centenary book. A working party had been convened comprising some Committee members and co-opting others as follows: Jeanette Cockshoot ex officio as Secretary, Dr Penelope Griffin, Dr Ann Ridler, the President, plus Mrs Sarah Curtis, Ms Sarah Mahaffy, Mrs Priscilla Stevenson and Mrs Margaret Potter. The proposals had been reported to the Committee that afternoon. Comments would be welcome. It was proposed that the book should be sociological and educational with a woman's angle, rather than merely light entertainment.

It might be divided into time periods with contributors invited to provide 36

reminiscences. For example, the Principal would be invited to cover St Hugh's today. Priscilla Stevenson had offered to edit reminiscences, and Sarah Curtis to undertake and edit structured interviews and the results of a questionnaire. Thus there would be a cross section of memoirs plus interviews. Various suggestions for a publisher had been made, and it had been decided that a publisher should be found by the autumn. The Committee wanted the book to be of general interest, and not just a handbook for St Hugh's alumnae.

The President had also suggested a publication relating to St Hugh, Bishop of Lincoln, but this would probably be too ambitious in the time available.

The Committee had also accepted Mrs Brenda Hall's offer to undertake special flower arrangements for the 1986 Gaudy.

A number of comments were made about the Centenary book. Dr Griffin stressed that it should not be just for St Hugh's members, and felt that angling it to women's education, which was a contemporary interest, would help to attract a commercial publisher. Miss Kemp pointed out that reminiscences helped to build up a picture and thought that this was an interesting approach. She hoped that there would be a chapter giving a factual account of the history of the College. Mrs Chitty spoke of the overseas angle—in Jamaica there was a school called St Hugh's. In answer to questions, the President said a length of 250-300 pages was envisaged. She felt that a number of useful suggestions and observations had been made which the working party would consider.

To a question from Dr Adam about the celebratory party, Mrs Chitty replied that it was too soon to give precise details.

The President suggested that any other ideas might be sent to the Hon. Secretary.

Gaudy, Saturday, 30 June 1984 The invitation to the 1984 Gaudy is enclosed with the Chronicle. The priority groups are all years up to and including 1940 and, as always, those members who have been living abroad and have recently returned to this country.

We wish to assure members that priority groups are not exclusive. Everyone is most welcome to send an application and every effort will be made to fit them in. We have to point out, however, that overnight accommodation will be limited to eighty beds, as undergraduates will, on this occasion, still be in residence for examinations.

For the Centenary Gaudy in 1986 we are looking forward to a large scale event at which there will be no limit on numbers.

President's Report The Committee of the Association of Senior Members has been busy this year with plans to celebrate St Hugh's Centenary in 1986 and to help the College Development Appeal. In working on the prospectus for the proposed book on St Hugh's (mentioned in the report of the last annual meeting) we convened a special working party, and express our gratitude to all concerned. Sadly, Mary Renault, who promised a contribution if she had recovered from a recent illness, died within a few weeks of receiving our letter. Dr P Griffin is acting as general editor, and I am very glad to report that Macmillan's have agreed to publish the book. It is intended that it will include a section derived from a questionnaire, and we shall shortly be sending out the questionnaire with a request to members for any reminiscences they may wish to contribute. The cooperation of Senior Members is invited.

Secondly, the Committee has had an early etching of St Hugh's printed as a greetings card (see illustration facing page). Profits of the sales will go to the College Development Appeal. The cards will be on sale at the Gaudy, price 35p for card and envelope.

The Association conveys its warmest congratulations to Mrs Mary Warnock for her appointment as a Dame of the British Empire in the New Year Honours List. The death of Dorothea Gray last year, however, was a great loss to the Association, members of which will have so many happy memories of their visits to the Lawn during Gaudy weekends.

I would like to thank the President, Fellows and staff of St Hugh's for their generous cooperation with the Association. I express also my appreciation of my colleagues on the Committee, especially Jeanette Cockshoot as Hon. Secretary, Ann Ridler as Hon. Editor and Dr J Green, who handles the liaison with the College. I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at the Gaudy. As accommodation is necessarily limited any senior members living in the Oxford area who could offer accommodation are invited to get in touch with the Hon. Secretary, Jeanette Cockshoot.

1933 Jubilee A group of us who came up in 1933 realised, when we were talking to one another at the 1982 Gaudy, that as our Jubilee would not occur in the year of a biennial Gaudy, the special arrangements which College makes on such occasions for the 'Jubilee Year' would not apply to us. We therefore decided to try to arrange a dinner independently in the summer of 1983.

With the much appreciated help of the College Secretary, Philippa Hesketh-Williams was able to get in touch with forty-two of our contemporaries. The result was that twenty-six of us, a record number, spent a delightful evening together at College on June 24th, eating a delicious dinner and meeting one another after what was for some people an interval of forty-six or forty-seven years.

We are most grateful to the Principal for allowing us to meet in College, to the Domestic Bursar, Miss Rothwell, for making such excellent arrangements for us, to Miss Jacobs, who made us all feel so welcome in deputising for the Principal, who was unfortunately unable to be present, and to Philippa for all her hard work. The many letters of appreciation and gratitude which she received proved what worthwhile occasions such Jubilee dinners are.

We were glad to be able to make a gift to College of a garden seat with a carved inscription and a small donation to the Library, representing the balance of the sum collected.

A Treasure Hunt Members are reminded that the sponsors of the College Development Appeal have introduced a scheme whereby a number of firms of auctioneers have agreed to receive antiques contributed by members and to sell them on concessionary commission terms, the proceeds then going to the Appeal fund. Suitable gifts include: jewellery, clocks, watches, musical instruments, antique furniture, oriental rugs, pictures, prints, gold and silverware, pottery, porcelain, glass, coins, medals, collections of stamps, old models, toys, dolls, scientific instruments, firearms, militaria, bronzes, ivories and pewter. The scheme has so far made an encouraging start, having yielded ÂŁ665 in the first few months of operation. A leaflet about the scheme may be obtained from the College Secretary.

Mary Isabella Legh Ellis (née Evans) Mary Ellis died suddenly on 26 January 1984, shortly after saying goodbye to her daughter, Susan, with whom she had just spent a happy day. Sitting peacefully in her chair, Mary slipped from this life into the next, for which she was so ready, in a way she would have chosen—as simply as possible, giving no trouble to anyone through illness or infirmity.

For this blessed 'ending of the day' all those who loved her will be grateful: saddened though they are by her loss every remembrance of her will bring with it a warmth to the heart and a lift to the spirit.

In October 1923 Mary came up to St Hugh's from Badminton School to read English and, immediately responsive to the widening horizons offered by College and University, she gave richly in return. One recalls her boundless enjoyment of life in all its aspects, her steadfastness in friendship, her evenness of temper, a mature wisdom rare in undergraduate years, her hilarious sense of fun balanced by a fundamental seriousness of purpose.

All these qualities were apparent and enhanced by innumerable acts of unobtrusive kindness throughout her married life when her home and her husband's became a haven of pleasurable ease and stimulating interests for the many friends who enjoyed their constant hospitality. In time, a characteristic that had always been Mary's emerged even more markedly—a kind of steely strength that gave support to others yet enabled her to endure silently, herself, those grievous experiences that life brought her (the early death of a beloved younger son; that of her husband, suddenly, when they were on holiday in Malta; and other deeply-felt sorrows).

In October 1983, at a happy gathering of St Hugh's contemporaries to celebrate their 'Diamond Jubilee' with a luncheon at the University Women's Club in London, Mary's cheerful, sympathetic presence contributed, as always, the same sense of underlying security coupled with a richly humorous outlook on life. That an excellent likeness of Miss Gwyer logked down upon the assembled company from her place on the wall among the other admirable women of educational eminence, was due entirely to Mary, whose thoughtfully chosen gift to the Club it had been.

Mary's life must have added immeasurably to the sum of human happiness. To combine in one harmony such an abundant enjoyment of the world around her with an intense commitment to the Christian faith is 47

surely an achievement of perfection, and one is filled with gratitude for this dear friend who has left us and passed on her way through the thin veil of separation that to her was scarcely visible.

N.B.W.

Dame Elsie Myrtle Abbot The following appeared in The Times on 3 June 1983, and is reproduced by permission of Lord Bancroft.

Dame Elsie Abbot, DBE, who died on May 26 at the age of 75, was Third Secretary HM Treasury from 1958 to 1967.

Lord Bancroft writes: Elsie Abbot holds a special place in the memories of the many colleagues who served with her. Starting her career in the prewar Post Office, she became one of the first, if not the first, woman civil servant to jump over the marriage ban—getting married without being required to resign. Shortly after the war she transferred to the Treasury where she became the only woman Deputy Secretary, specializing in management matters. She was a quiet pioneer.

Small, slight and engaging, she achieved her preeminence by a fine mind which one expects in an Oxford double first; by a gentleness which masked a tenacious will; and by giving and receiving in return remarkable loyalty and affection.

She will be especially remembered by the postwar entrants to the Treasury, a lot of them fresh from the Forces. I know, because I was one of them. She taught us by example all the traditional virtues of the Service (to which she was passionately devoted), and added a dash of her own sharp wit and mockery. We remained her life-long friends. For many years after her retirement she and her husband, Derry, himself a distinguished civil servant, held an annual party at their home which her former colleagues looked forward enormously to attending. They were joyful and uproarious occasions.

Elsie Abbot personified the best aspects of the British public service; but it is, too, for a much-loved friend that we mourn. She contributed a great deal to the common good of our country in her unassuming and delightful way. We are all in her debt.

Our deepest sympathy goes to Deny and to her son and daughter.

Rita Bedford Born 6 January 1909, Constance Rita McDermott; died 12 May 1983 Her daughter writes: My mother came down from St Hugh's with an Honours degree in English in 1931. Except for a few years' teaching before she married my father, whom she had met at Oxford, she made no direct use of her education. But thinking over her life while writing this very personal memoir, I have come to realise how much she gave indirectly to those who came into contact with her, both in the family and in the community in which she spent most of her married life.

Born and bred in an urban environment she yet came to love Bamford, the small Derbyshire village where my father had spent part of his childhood, and to which he abruptly moved his small family on the outbreak of war.

My parents were to spend nearly 40 years there, mostly, I believe, in contentment.

War brought domestic pressures with evacuees, bombed-out families, Red Cross activities and a growing family. Yet one of my earliest recollections is helping my mother each week to pack the books of the village library back into the wooden crates where they had to spend most of the time.

After the war my mother gave both a job and a home for many months to a Polish mother and child from a Displaced Persons camp, patiently trying to teach them English and English ways.

All through our school years my mother was always a willing soundingboard for ideas and a help for developing skills. She always took an active and informed interest in her children's education, and I am sure it was largely under the stimulus of my parents' example and encouragement that all three of their children went on to university.

Although she considered part-time work in University Administration, my mother began in the 1950s to devote much of her time and energy to voluntary work in local government. Her first success was in the first contested parish council elections for several years, when she startled herself by topping the polls and by tradition becoming Chairman of the Council. It is a tribute both to her administrative ability (which was considerable) and to her personal qualities that, the only woman member of an entrenched committee, she became both respected and liked. She later went on to become a District Councillor and a County Councillor and was .a strong supporter of the political independence of local government, saying she put service to the needs of the community before any party-political interest. She was also for many years a Governor of Hope Valley College, the first extension into other counties of the famous Cambridgeshire Village College system.

49

In 1976, because of my father's failing health, the big family home was sold and my parents moved to the Cambridgeshire village where I live. Two years later, devotedly nursed at the end by my mother, my father died peacefully at home, a few days after their 44th wedding anniversary. My mother had never felt settled in Cambridgeshire and so, a little over a year after my father's death, she moved to Margate where she lived with my sister until she died Her final years were clouded by deep personal loss and increasing illhealth, so that her sudden death from a heart attack on Ascension Day last year was indeed a merciful release. I prefer to remember her in the years of her prime, busy, but always interested in her family's activities, and always with time to talk and listen. Among her papers is a testimonial, written of her in 1931, which speaks of her 'qualities of loyalty . . . and enthusiasm, combined with the width of her interests and sympathies'; these I endorse, and would add her unselfishness and her example of personal and public service as a fitting legacy.

Winifred Grace Bosward Winifred Bosward, who died at the end of December, 1983, came up to St Hugh's in 1926 to read Modem Languages. After taking her degree and then a Diploma in Education (at Leeds), she joined the staff of Wakefield Girls' High School in 1931, and remained there until she retired from teaching in 1968, having set a record for long and distinguished service to the School.

She became Head of the Modem Languages Department, form mistress of the Upper Sixth and Deputy Headmistress. A gifted teacher, she maintained the highest standards, and yet was always kind and encouraging to the less able, winning the affection of pupils and colleagues alike. Her many talents included musical and artistic ability, which in some measure she sacrificed to the demands of her profession. Only in retirement was she able to develop the gift for painting which gave her so much pleasure.

Winifred did not revisit Oxford often in later years—her attendance at the Gaudy of 1976 for her year's Jubilee was an exceptional occasion—but the College meant much to her, and she valued highly the privilege of being an Oxford graduate. To the institutions of great worth, College, University, the School she served, as to her dearly-loved family and friends, she gave lasting loyalty.

Rena Meredith Bushell Rena Meredith Bushell, who died in 1979, is remembered with affection by those who, like her, came up to St Hugh's in 1933, and many enquired about her when they met at the Jubilee Dinner in 1983.

After receiving her degree in English, Rena remained in Oxford to take the Education Diploma. She went at once to Eothen School for Girls at Caterham, Surrey, and taught English there for the whole of her working life. The administrative duties which promotion would have brought did not appeal to her; she liked teaching. She inspired her pupils with her own acute love of literature, and felt rewarded when they won university places or when she heard of their successful careers as librarians, editors or teachers themselves. Rena could have been a notable Headmistress, but perhaps her influence was stronger along the path she chose.

Winifred Alice Maxwell (nĂŠe Pronger) 'We come here this morning to commemorate the life of one of the most outstanding scholars ever to grace the doorways of Rhodes.' These were the opening words of the address given by Professor Davenport at the funeral of Dr Winifred Maxwell who died on February 9th at Grahamstown. Winnie came up to Oxford in 1927 from the Mary Datchelor Girls' School. She had won a Senior Open Scholarship in History at St Hugh's, a London County Council Major Scholarship and a Clothworkers' Exhibition. In 1928 she was the first woman to receive a Goldsmiths' Company Scholarship. She had five successful and happy years at Oxford and was a popular and active member of College. In 1930 she was awarded a First Class in History, in 1932 the degree of B Litt for her thesis on Thomas Gascoigne's 'Loci e Libro Veritatum' and the Diploma of Education with distinction in both theory and practice. She taught at Derby and Putney and, after her marriage, at Edinburgh. In 1939 she and her husband moved to Grahamstown. From 1942 until 1944 she was Acting Head of the Department of History at Rhodes University at Grahamstown while Professor Roberts was on active service.

Her son Thomas was born in 1942. He is now Vice-President and Chief Economist of the Conference Board of Canada. After a brief interlude in Edinburgh she accepted a two year appointment at Rhodes and in 1952 she became Senior Ldcturer in History and Political Science at the University of Natal. In 1953 she was back at Rhodes where, in 1954, she was appointed to the Chair of History, a post which she held until her retirement. Her students speak of her with respect and affection and remember the challenge of her demands for meticulous scholarship. To quote Professor Davenport again: 'The current head and/or deputy head of the History Department of 51

every English-speaking University in South Africa is a Rhodes graduate of the Maxwell era. Her academic progeny are spread across the English speaking world in university posts from Ireland to New Zealand, and are, of course, represented at both Oxford and Cambridge.' She was involved in many aspects of South African life and had many friends in both Black and White circles. She did much voluntary work for the education and welfare of coloured children and after her retirement was concerned in the programme for Adult Literacy among the Black Staff at Rhodes. Those who were privileged to be her friends will remember her as a loyal and affectionate friend with a great sense of fun and an impish humour. When I visited her three years ago she had been very ill and I was sad to see her so frail. Since then she has had much ill health but she has always written cheerful and interesting letters. It was good to think of her in her beautiful flat with its view of the mountains and to know that she was surrounded by so many good friends.

Mary Cunliffe Owen Mary came up to St Hugh's to read English in 1926, and was immediately spotted as a future President of the JCR—an office which in due course she filled with great distinction.

She was a striking figure: tall, good-looking, commanding. She could appear formidable, but she had a lively sense of humour and enjoyed giving her friends nicknames which were outrageous puns on their surnames, or which mercilessly reflected their individual characteristics.

But there was no malice in her mockery and she was popular as well as respected. She was a wholly positive character: honest, uncompromising, outspoken, critical of herself as well as of others, and holding firm Christian convictions. Though well-known to so many, she was essentially a private person and, beneath the banter, deeply serious.

Characteristically, Mary chose to take up social work when she left Oxford in 1929, and worked for a year at a Settlement in Middlesbrough.

After that she took up an appointment with the YWCA and remained with them for most of her working life. What follows now is the obituary which was included in the YWCA National Notes Magazine in the Spring of 1983:

"Remembered with Gratitude and Affection Mary C Owen It is with deep regret that we record the very sudden death of Mary Owen on January 4th. Mary joined the YWCA in 1930 and from then until 1947 her many responsibilities in the Association included: 52

Appeals Secretary Assistant National General Secretary Secretary of the Industrial Law Bureau During the war she was responsible for all the work with HM Forces Overseas, and it was for this work that she was awarded the MBE. She retired in 1947 and became the National General Secretary of the National Association for Mental Health. But 1950 saw her back with the YWCA as Director of Central Club, London, where she stayed for 19 years.

In 1970 she was made an Honorary Life Member. Latterly she was Chairman of the Retired Staff Bureau. She will be sadly missed by many, many people."

After retiring from the YWCA in 1969, Mary held various part-time posts, and actually went to work at the Kennel Club on the morning of the day on which she was later found dead in her flat. She would have wanted it to be like that.

She came to the Golden Jubilee Gaudy in 1976 looking thin and ill, and many of us were anxious about her. But she continued on her private way, taking solitary holidays in France every year, staying at village inns, walking and using public transport as she explored Romanesque Churches.

She claimed that her French was fluent and idiomatic, while admitting that her accent remained atrocious.

None of us could see her very often, but we kept in touch, and the world seems a poorer and a duller place without her.

Mary Renault (Eileen Mary Challans) The following obituary is reproduced from The Daily Telegraph of 14 December 1983, by permission.

Mary Renault, the novelist best known for her vivid reconstruction of life in Ancient Greece, died in a Cape Town hospital yesterday. She was 78. Her two volumes about Theseus and her trilogy about Alexander the Great, all bestsellers, probably represent what most readers of novels know about life in Athens or Macedon.

Mary Renault had the capacity to make her readers feel that they would recognise Alcibiades or Phaedra if they were to meet them in the street. She did not write about people as if they lived five or six centuries ago. They were real to her, so they were real to us.

She once wrote: "The past is part of the human environment and should not be polluted by falsehood. Its people should not be modernised to make an easier read, nor judged by standards irrelevant to their own day, in order to make dishonest propaganda for some modern cause." This was a 53

doctrine she held to firmly. Some scholars objected to the certainty with which she presented doubtful matters, but everyone admitted her research was thorough and that she never altered history. At the back of most of her historical novels can be found a short appendix saying where she had taken liberties, where the course of history is uncertain and when she had invented a character about whom there is no certain knowledge.

Mary Renault was a very private person. She never gave interviews, other than one notable one for BBC television which showed her a natural performer. Even her name was adopted. She was born Mary Challans and adopted Renault for the sole purpose of retaining her anonymity. Her father was a doctor in the East End of London and she grew up a rather lonely middle-class child in a slum area. She was sent to Clifton High School in Bristol from which she went on to St Hugh's College, Oxford.

After gaining her degree, Miss Renault decided to become a nurse and qualified as SRN in 1937. Almost immediately after qualifying, she started writing full time and published her first novel, "Purposes of Love", in 1939.

When the war started she returned to nursing and continued through the war although she carried on with her writing, publishing several novels, most of them with hospital backgrounds. These were by no means run-ofthe-mill romances. Her skill as a writer was evident then.

None of these novels had been a great success, but her break came in 1946 when she won the $150,000 prize for an original novel put up by the film producers MGM. It was an international competition and her book, "Return to Night", was preferred to those written by a number of other better-known novelists. Although the intention was to make a film of the book, this never happened, and Miss Renault continued with her novels.

In 1948, partly for tax reasons and partly because of boredom with the conditions of post-war Britain, she and a fellow nurse Julie Mullard, her constant companion, emigrated to South Africa where they set up home at Camps Bay, a small seaside village just outside Cape Town. Though she often visited the Mediterranean, particularly Greece and Crete, she never came back to Britain.

Her first great critical success came with "The Charioteer" (1953), which was not a historical novel, but a moving study of human relationships against a background of the 1939-45 War. Three years later, after much research and thought, she wrote "The Last of the Wine", a recreation of the world of Socrates and Plato. Even her most captious critics wondered at the way she could adapt passages from the Greek and make them serve her purpose as modern dialogue.

The impact of her first Theseus story, "The King Must Die" (1958), was much greater. Her Theseus bore no resemblance to the one in Charles Kingsley's "The Heroes". He was ruthless. Her picture of life in the Crete of King Minos was grim and the orgies she described were rough and rude.

54

Perhaps her greatest skill was that she could present scenes of violence without being squeamish but equally never using violence gratuitously.

"The King Must Die" was an instant bestseller, and, although she was to write seven more novels, none made quite the same impression, or indeed was quite so good a novel. The complications of Theseus's last years made "The Bull from the Sea" less readable, though it was much enjoyed by many people, including Princess Margaret who was seen carrying a copy under her arm when she returned from honeymoon.

In "The Mask of Apollo" (1966) she returned to Plato, making the narrator a Greek actor, something that enabled her to express her love for the Athenian tragic plays. Then, after a not totally successful children's book, came the Alexandrian trilogy. Here Miss Renault was in her finest form again. The action scenes suited her style and the complications of Alexander's sex life gave her a chance to express her own deviant views.

The final volume, "Funeral Games", shows her at her grimmest.

Miss Renault's sweeping narrative style was not of the sort that tends to attract the judges of literary prizes, though her 1970 novel "Fire from Heaven" did win the Silver Pen Award, given by the British branch of International PEN, the writer's organisation. In 1961 she became the national president of the South African branch of PEN. Perhaps it was because of her self-imposed exile that she never received any honour for her work. She was, however, made an Honorary Fellow of her Oxford College and Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.

But she was probably content with the great pleasure that she had given her readers in many parts of the world. She brought out the characters of Ancient Greece from the dim pages of text books, in the same way that Robert Graves did for Imperial Rome. And that is praise indeed.

Sheila Hazael Mayoh Walker (nĂŠe Wilson) Sheila Wilson (later Sheila Walker) was one of the small group with whom I shared the privilege of living in The Lawn under Miss Gray during our first year at St Hugh's, 1935-6. Sheila stood out: she was tall, strong and strikingly beautiful. She strode through Oxford like a young Hippolyta, back straight and head high. My vivid memory of her in those days makes all the more poignant my last memory of her, when I was in England in 1982, brought low and confined to bed by a crippling bone disease. Only physically was she brought low; her spirit, her wit and her courage shone out as brightly as ever from the now sculptured beauty of her face.

Sheila came to St Hugh's from a strange and lonely life in Egypt as her father's only child and companion: she was then a rather prickly and very private person who did not make friends easily. She married Tony Walker 55

whom she met at Oxford and had a son Roger, but the marriage did not survive the war. Thereafter she taught English in various schools, becoming eventually Head of Department. She thought of migrating to New Zealand, in which I encouraged her, but dropped the idea. She continued teaching as long as she could after the very gradual onset of the bone disease which slowly and inexorably crippled her. A mutual friend and fellow New Zealander of mine, Norman Davis, then Merton Professor of English, wrote to me of the heart-breaking courage with which Sheila got herself about, and to classes, with sticks and wheel-chair.

When she had to give up the physical struggle, she continued to read and discuss ideas with old friends: in her nursing home life she never accepted anything she could ameliorate by protesting. She took great joy from letters from and about her two grandsons, their photographs and occasional visits.

She has left to them, I am confident, as she has left to her friends, a memory of indomitable courage and victorious spirit which will inspire us as long as we live.
