ST EDMUND HALL MAGAZINE VOL. XIII. No. 5

October 1990

EDITOR: D. I. SCARGILL THE ARTS have always flourished in St Edmund Hall. I remember those great actors of my own undergraduate days in the 1950s who have gone on to make a name for themselves in the world of stage and television. This year has witnessed not only an active John Oldham Society but a lively and enterprising Music Society and an exhibition of paintings, sculpture, engraving and other crafts to mark Oxford Artweek. I am grateful to Julia Johnson, herself a talented painter, who organized the exhibition, for finding time from her duties in the Accounts Office to write about it. Two of her photographs are also included in this edition of the Magazine. Typing all those sports reports one is struck by the constant reference to the 'enthusiasm' shown by participants, often it would seem, in inverse proportion to the success of the team. It would be nice to think that some of the enthusiasm shown for College sport could take the form of support for the productions of the Music Society and the Chapel Choir and for the artistic and cultural life of the Hall in general. With this in mind, the generous donation from the St Edmund Hall Association towards the cost of a new piano is much to be welcomed. Sasha Wernberg-M0ller, who retired recently as College Librarian, has been a dedicated supporter of the Magazine and I am grateful for the encouragement and help she has given me as Editor over the past five years. It is fitting that this edition should include another article by Sasha, this time on some of the more interesting of the memorials in St Peter-in-the-East.

FROM THE PRINCIPAL DURING THE SUMMER Dr Rossotti completed his stint as VicePrincipal and is being succeeded by Dr Scargill. The Rev Christopher Irvine has completed five years as Chaplain and will be succeeded by Rev Gerald Hegarty. Christopher will be 'retiring' to a full time post at St Stephen's House. We have acquired four new Junior Research Fellows: Dr Paul Dear, Mr David Priestland, Mr Terence Tsang and Dr William Cox. Dr Dear and Mr Tsang

replace Mr Ying Chang and Dr Mark Dickinson as Claude Jenkins and C.E.G.B. Fellows respectively. Mr Priestland is helping to fill the gaps in our history teaching, as well as doing research, and Dr Cox is doing work with Mr Marsh on industrial relations. In January we were joined by the new Ruskin Master of Drawing, Mr Step hen Farthing, as a Professorial Fellow. He has already made his mark, first designing a banner to identify the college as a participant in Oxford Artweek, and then contributing a picture to the college entry. The entry was from all staff, academic and otherwise, and family, and gave us all some surprising mutual knowledge. Contributions ranged from paintings and drawings, to quilt work, glass engraving, tapestry and woodwork. It was a successful venture and added a diversion for the many tourists viewing the Front Quad. Dr Mark Child was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society during the year; Dr John Hunt was given an ad hominem Readership; and Dr Susan Hurley was awarded a two year British Academy Research Readership. Among Junior Members, Dr Richard Taylor was awarded the Patrick Mallam Memorial Prize in medicine, Mr Daniel J ackson the Violet Vaughan M organ Prize in English, and Mr Richard Hodgkins was runner up for the Gibbs Prize in Geography. We have so far recorded ten firsts in schools. The various awards which we now have which serve to stimulate enterprise in members of the college, such as the Philip Geddes Memorial Prize for journalism, the Armourers and Braziers' Travel Award, the Michael Pike Fund and the Muriel Radford Memorial Prize, in addition to the Cochrane and Graham Hamilton Awards, have called forth a wide range of projects, some reported elsewhere in these pages, and ensured that members of the College are encouraged to broaden their interests. The Music Society has had another very successful year, and we were particularly pleased to have a concert given by John Palmer's quartet. It is good to have Old Members coming back, and in this case it showed particular heroism, as he was not at all well on the night of the concert. On the subject of Old Members coming back, it has been gratifying to see a slight increase in the numbers taking advantage of the possibility of dining on High Table; but it would be even more gratifying if the number was a little larger. This year we won the shooting, cross-country, mixed hockey and athletics, as well as doing creditably in a number of other sports. As a result of a generous benefaction from Dr Brockhues we have been able to build some more accommodation for graduate 2

students. The Chancellor has agreed to come to open the building in November. It will form an attractive addition, but, I hasten to add, does not signal any further expansion in numbers. It will just enable us to house a greater proportion of those we have. In January our Development Director, Mr Colin Mattingley, began in earnest his work on fund-raising. I say 'in earnest' because he in fact began work earlier, but that was when he officially started. We have had some useful meetings with Old Members from the U.K., and many of you will by now have experienced the repercussions. It is perhaps worth reiterating that a response to the University Appeal which gives a contribution wholly to the College, is perfectly in order. Many have been inspired to respond in this way. For activities in the U.S.A., see elsewhere in this number. We now have a full-time gardener, so I hope that when you come to visit us you will be even more struck than usual by the Front Quad. May I wish you a happy and prosperous Christmas and New Year. SENIOR COMMON ROOM NEWS THE PRINCIPAL attended an Old Members' St Edmund Day

Dinner in New York, in November 1989. In December he gave a talk to the Cambridge and Oxford Society (sic) in New Delhi entitled ' Being Head of an Oxford College'. The Vice-Principal, Dr F. J. C. Rossotti, attended, with the Principal, the inauguration of our new Honorary Fellow, Dr John Daniel, as Vice-Chancellor of the Open University at Cardiff on 7 July 1990. The Rev H. E. J. Cowdrey attended conferences in La Mendola, Pavia and Lyon. Dr W. S. C. Williams is now working on one of the detectors (DELPHI) installed on the Large Electron-Positron Collider at the European Centre for Nuclear Research (CERN), Geneva. Physicists and science-oriented readers will appreciate that this is an exciting project ('We are now able to produce in large numbers, for study, the messenger particle (Z 0 ) of the neutral weak interactions'). As Chairman of the Sub-Faculty of Physics, Dr Williams has the job of anticipating the reforms of undergraduate teaching which may become necessary with changes caused by the National Curriculum and making courses and qualifications Euro-compatible. Mr J. P. D. Dunbabin is Chairman of the University Social Studies Centre. Overdevotion to these duties caused the collapse 3

of his knee and an autumn on crutches, happily succeeded by a full recovery. Dr P. J. Collins was invited to lecture at Moscow State University in June and to present papers at conferences in Tsukuba (Japan) in August and Lecce (Italy) in September. Dr A. B. Worden was, from January to April1990, a Fellow of the Center for the History of Freedom at Washington University, St Louis. Mr A. Briggs has been doing his pupillage in the Chambers of Colin Ross-Munro QC. 'It has been interesting to be on the learning end of the system.' Professor Z. A. B. Zeman was on sabbatical leave in 1988-89, based on Vienna. He was a guest of the Hungarian, Bulgarian and Polish Academies of Sciences during the year, and lectured in Budapest and Vienna; in November 1989 and March 1990 he lectured in Prague. He has been appointed Visiting Professor in Charles University in Prague for next academic year. His book, Pursued by a Bear, The Making of Eastern Europe (Chatto and Windus, January 1989) was dedicated to 'Members of St Edmund Hall'. Dr D. G. Phillips has been awarded a grant of ÂŁ73,700 by the Leverhulme Trust for further research on diversification of first foreign language teaching in secondary schools. Dr S. L. Hurley has been awarded a British Academy Readership for the academic years 1990-92. Dr N. E. Cronk has been elected Secretary of the Society for Seventeenth-Century French Studies. Dr R. M. Gaskin is reading for Bar Finals. Dr S. P. Hesselbo has been appointed to a University Lecturership in the Department of Earth Sciences and to a Tutorial Fellowship at St Peter's College. Dr J. Spurr has been appointed to a Lecturership in History at University College, Swansea. Mr G. Bourne-Taylor has been appointed the representative of Oxford Colleges to the Thames Valley Police Crime Prevention Panel. Dr G. D. Ramsay (Emeritus Fellow) has been elected a Senior Fellow of the British Academy. The Rev E. G. Midgley (Emeritus Fellow) returned safely from his visit to Moscow and St Petersburg. In the autumn he plans to sail to Byzantium, and to perne rather a large gyre around Asia Minor. He notes, with some heartsinking, that the 'Graham Midgley' is now the oldest boat in the First Division. Dr D. C. M. Yardley (Emeritus Fellow) became Chairman of the Oxford Preservation Trust in July 1989 and a Freeman of the 4

City of Oxford in December 1989. He acted as Escort to his wife who has been Sheriff of Oxford 1988-89, Lord Mayor of Oxford 1989-90, and Deputy Lord Mayor 1990-91. The Seventh Edition of his book, Introduction to British Constitutional Law (Butterworths) was published in 1990. Dr R. B. Mitchell (Emeritus Fellow) has been elected an Honorary Member of the International Society of AngloSaxonists. He read a paper at the Sixth International Conference of English Historical Linguistics, Helsinki, and lectured at the University of Odense. Dr J. D. Todd (Emeritus Fellow) is Secretary for the Society of Oxford University Engineers and observes that 'the Hall could be better represented by a few more graduate engineers joining, only ÂŁ15 for a life membership'. Mr A. I. Marsh (Emeritus Fellow) has been awarded an Emeritus Fellowship of The Leverhulme Trust to enable him to complete Volume 4 and Supplement of the Historical Directory of Trade Unions. Mr N. C. Pollock (Emeritus Fellow) and his wife visited South Africa early in 1990, partly for domestic reasons and partly to scrutinise recent political and economic events and action. 'We were in Cape Town when Nelson Mandela was released and African political organisations such as the African National Congress were unbanned by the government. The popular mood ranged from euphoria amongst the Africans and other non-white groups to apprehension amongst the majority of whites fearing the prospect of rapid political change and majority rule. However, when questioning economists, industrialists and politicians, I found that some were guardedly optimistic about the future, suggesting that, if a comprehensive and effective policy of urbanisation could be carried on in the next decade, it might encourage evolution rather than revolution and bring about economic growth and political stability.' APPOINTMENTS DR D. I. SCARGILL has succeeded Dr F. J . C. Rossotti as VicePrincipaL Dr A. B. Worden is Senior Tutor in place of Dr K. H. Segar. Dr C. E. Phelps is Tutor for Admissions and Dr P. J.

Segar, having taken early retirement from his University post, has been elected to a Fellowship by Special

Election. In that capacity he continues to teach German for the Hall with undiminished vigour and enthusiasm. The following have been elected to Fellowships: Dr Stephen P. Watson, B.Sc. Leeds, Ph.D. Cambridge, to a Fellowship by Special Election; Mrs Katherine S. Ward-Perkins, M.A., to a Tutorial Fellowship in English; Dr Robert J. Whittaker, M.A., B.Sc.

GIFTS TO THE COLLEGE THE GOVERNING BODY acknowledges with gratitude the following gifts:

The Executive Committee of the St Edmund Hall Association has given the College £1,500 towards the cost of a new piano, £500 6

for the programme of portrait cleaning in the W olfson Hall and £50 for a new banner for the College Boathouse. In addition, £1,000 has been set aside in the Directory Fund. The family of Lynn Debra Gilbert, who died in a motor accident last year, have given the College, in her memory, a sum in excess of £15,000, the income from which is to be used as a Bursary to help a student in financial need in any of the subjects of Metallurgy, Economics and Management. Professor Peter Ganz has given the College a gingko tree for the Library garden. Dr Frederick Brockhues has donated the following to the gardens (one of each): magnolia stellata, camellia 'Donation', acer palmatum 'Dissectum Garnet', actinidia kolomikta. The Librarian, Mrs Wernberg-Mdller, has given the SCR an attractive 'mahogany oak' biscuit barrel. The Fellows no longer get their hands stuck in the old glass bottles. Mr Arthur Marsh presented the College with silver menu holders at a dinner held to mark his retirement in October 1989.

FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE M.C.R. from the MCR this year is our freshmen and women, whose enthusiasm has transformed us from a quiet society to a vibrant and dynamic community. Spirits ran high from the start of Michaelmas Term and our first event- a wine and cheese held for freshers in the President's rooms- was an unexpected success. As people made their way home in the small hours of the night, we knew we had a vigorous and sociable lot: so animated was the conversation and so great the quantity of wine consumed. Later on, our Steward Ursula found herself unable to keep the drinks cupboard stocked to suit the freshers' insatiable appetite for coffee, tea, biscuits and port. A full term card provided an outlet for continued revelry and comraderie throughout the year. Beyond the traditional wine and cheese with the Fellows, 'MCR Movies', and the end-of-term dinners, the Common Room arranged trips to Stratford and the West End Theatres (where the word 'pike' was first coined to describe the curious absence of the President from events he had planned), and a pub crawl during which we visited two of Oxfordshire's more interesting watering holes and many of the County's less interesting ring roads- our intrepid, but confused driver managed to get us to Cumnor from Cumnor three times. PERHAPS THE GREATEST NEWS

We also hosted a series of dessert nights, an international cuisine evening, and a supper celebrating the birth of Robert Burns, which was presided over by our very own Scotsman, Mark Lauder. The dinner marked the unofficial assumption of the presidential reins of power by this pretender to the throne who was unfortunately forced to give up the office when Craig Cahall won the President's election in Trinity term. But the Burns' Supper will be remembered for other reasons as well, and not just for the seemingly limitless supply of Glenfiddich. It was on that evening that Craig Cahall astounded the MCR with his 'learned' discourse on Burns and women, a subtle Freudian interpretation, peppered with thinly-disguised innuendo. We only hope that Craig will allow us to print a transcript in next year's edition of the Magazine (before publication in the New Yorker). The Christmas Dinner was a merry occasion: after a fine dinner we gathered in the Old Dining Hall for mince pies, mulled wine and carolling, led by the husky-voiced David 'Danny Boy' Armstrong and his troop of holiday singers. After jazz dancing there was an informal cabaret in the MCR and more carols by candlelight. Beyond this, the MCR organised a series of speaker teas which (when they happened) were well attended and proved to be lively fora of political and literary discussion. Then, too, there was plenty of informal debate, usually involving Comrades Amitabh Mattoo and Mike Erkelenz: is this evidence that some D.Phil. students have too much time on their hands? In appreciation of his generosity to Teddy Hall, the MCR invited Dr. Brockhues to a dinner held in his honour in Hilary term. We enjoyed a pleasant evening, with our benefactor reminiscing and talking of his plans for Teddy Hall. Jason Reese deserves special commendation for his grandiloquence on that occasion; he made not just one or two, but three splendid toasts. We hope Dr Brockhues was amused. Our enthusiasm is not limited to social events and dinners, indeed it has spilled over on to the field and into the river. Led by second years Peter Othen and Nigel Gay, the freshmen entered a boat in the Christ Church Regatta and fared reasonably well. In the end the laurels were taken by another, but our clear defeat of the Teddy Hall JCR 'novice A' crew was nevertheless an appreciated and substantial moral victory, and partially made up for a term of waiting for late-risers on frosty Autumn mornings at the boathouse. On the football field Gari Harris, D.Phil. along with ViceCaptain Graeme Slater (not yet D.Phil.) led the MCR forces to a 8

resounding defeat at the hands of Queen's. We knew we were in trouble when the opposition appeared in matching (and very posh) kit, along with their coach, trainer and water-boy. Before the game was ended early for injury (our men dropped like flies) we were down by nine and had yet to make a goal. But it was fun for those who didn't end up in hospital, and we alternately remembered and tried to forget the match over a keg in the Common Room that evening. More success if not more fun was had by Zia Chaudrey's cricketers, whom he led with jihadian fervour. An easy victory against Brasenose put us in the semi-finals, where we faced New College. Despite the great efforts of Mike Bartlett, Zahid Nawaz, and former countyman Alex Pelling (the 'punching poet') the team floundered, sorely in need of Chris Dawson, whose car rather mysteriously stranded him in Norfolk, thus depriving Teddy Hall of innumerable runs and a glorious advance to the final. Despite our elimination from University competition our boys continued to troop off to the nets (but now dragging their bats behind them). Several friendly matches have since been arranged, and we have once again come to dominate the pitch. Of course due recognition must be given to our own Mrs Brown, whose saintly service has ensured the health and wellbeing of the MCR for as many years as she has been with us. When I was abroad and met other graduates of Teddy Hall from years gone by, it wasn't any particular part of the College that they remembered and asked me about, but rather Mrs Brown herself. She was for them, as for me, the first person they spoke to when they came to Teddy Hall; she will be the last that we forget. We are most grateful, and hope she shall spend many more years with us. Finally, elections have been held and the following officers were elected to serve from Michaelmas 1990: Craig Cahall, President; Mark Lauder, Steward; Jane Moody, Secretary. We wish them well, but know that every success will be theirs. John Basnage FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE J .C.R. and another hundred or so Aularians say their farewells to undergraduate life at the Hall. We shall miss them, but wish them well, and look forward to their continued involvement in the Hall through the SEH Association. This year has not been without its excitement. The Bursar's new fire detection system has proved so effective that it put the ANOTHER YEAR GOES BY,

dampers on a birthday celebration, showing once again that one can't have one's cake and eat it, at least, not if it's decorated with candles. Indeed, one junior member was so enthusiastic about the new ear-piercing, mind-numbing fire alarm that he simply had to have a few goes with it himself. However, several feet-freezing evacuations, and one donation to the Fireman's Benevolent Fund later, life seems to have quietened down again. In the field of sport, the Hall has had both successes and disappointments. Once again, the Athletics team scored a tremendous Cuppers victory, with many superb individual performances. The mixed hockey team also won Cuppers, with the women's team being defeated only in the final. The tennis team were also Cuppers finalists. The first XI soccer team, with two Blues and other squad members, were unlucky to be put out of Cuppers, although the league team had a good season. In Eights Week, the Men's Second Eight missed winning blades by the narrowest of margins, and the First Eight conceded one place amidst a confusion of bumps. The First XV were knocked out by Univ in the early stages of Cuppers, although both the First and Second teams were runners up in their divisions, showing that a depth of talent remains at the Hall, unlike certain colleges who tend to rely on one or two very gifted players . We look forward to watching a more experienced side this year. Other activities have continued to flourish, Hilary Term seeing a John Oldham production of 'A Streetcar Named Desire', in the Old Dining Hall. The Music Society has had a busy and successful year, holding numerous concerts in the Wolfson Hall, Old Dining Hall and Party Room. Hall men and women contribute substantially to journalism in the University, as writers, editors and graphic designers, and college bands have played both in College and at other venues in Oxford and beyond. This year's Ball, its theme taken from the Renaissance, proved to be a successful festival enjoyed by all, with a variety and quality of entertainments rivalling that of the most expensive Balls- a genuine all night affair. The character of the Hall has been somewhat in a state of flux in recent years. However, the cohesion of the junior members has strengthened. The traditional friendliness of the Hall is pretty well universal, with more and more people enjoying the social life of the college bar. For a large college which has, expanded considerably in comparatively recent times, this degree of community spirit is remarkable and precious. It is a large number of Hall men and women that contributes to the life and atmosphere of the College, and who are proud and glad to be at 10

Teddy Hall. As long as this valuable strength is not misperceived as a problem by those who might wish to weaken it, and as long as members of the College continue to put the Hall first, the future of the Hall will be secure as a place of friendly and good natured achievement. Antony Greenham J .C.R. OFFICERS President: A. C. Greenham; Steward: P.A. Lacy; Social Secretary: R. J. D. McRobbie. FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE ST EDMUND HALL ASSOCIATION I AM DELIGHTED to take this opportunity as the newly elected President of the St Edmund Hall Association to update Aularians on the current activities of the Old Members' organisation. A full programme was inherited from my predecessor Roger Farrand and along with the other Officers and Executive Committee I intend to carry on the good work and make a real contribution to College affairs . There are a number of specific projects in hand in addition to the general responsibility of ensuring the continuation of an active Association determined to represent its members . An important participation is in the fund raising activities of the College where we are endeavouring to give informed advice to the Endowments Committee and Development Office. In an attempt to move closer to the heart of current College life we are also trying to strengthen relationships with the SCR and MCR. An identifiable contribution towards the improvement of the fabric of the College has been our donation of funds to the cleaning of the portraits of past Principals in the Dining Room. This process is in its early stages but it is hoped will become more visible as time progresses. Work has also begun on plans to re-issue the Directory in 1992, four years after the current issue in 1988 . This exercise should also help future Networking activities and efforts to establish a Jobs Register. In this respect we are keen to identify someone to take this task on board which could strengthen our value to Old Members. Finally, a big occasion will be made of the next London Reunion Dinner at Simpsons on Tuesday, 8th January, 1991 which will be our 50th. Arrangements are already in hand to make this a memorable event in the Aularian calendar with some special guests plus a general effort to ensure a representative turnout of distinguished Hall men and women from all eras. Details will be posted later in the year and it will be advisable to make early application to attend in order to avoid disappointment. That concludes my brief synopsis of some current activities of the Association and I look forward to reporting further on achievements in the future and hopefully, making many more friendships and acquaintances in the process.

SASHA WERNBERG-MOLLER to imagine our library in St Peter-in-the-East without the presence of Mrs Wernberg-Mi'Sller, but in September 1990 Sasha retired from the post of Librarian after eighteen years of service to the College. During that time

IT IS DIFFICULT

she has been exemplary in providing a service to all readers and users of the library. She will be remembered for her helpfulness and efficiency, for ensuring the calm atmosphere so essential to study, and for the imaginative and colourful notices on display at the library porch reminding users of their responsibilities with respect to conduct in the library. Under Sasha's care we have moved from a library of about 20,000 volumes to one approaching 50,000. Much new shelving has been added but nonetheless she left a library in which the shelves are almost full. She has taken responsibility not only for running the library but also reminding the College to pay proper attention to maintaining the appearance and fabric of St Peter-in-the-East. She also agreed to take under her wing the care of the Old Library books. Through the years she has attended to the well-being and refurbishment of these books, most of which date from the eighteenth century. She has been responsible for 'The Aularian Bookshelf', a regular item in this Magazine. The whole community of St Edmund Hall will miss Sasha's steadfast loyalty to the College and its two libraries . She and her husband, Prebend, retired from service to this University at the same time. We wish them happy years of retirement with many grandchildren to spoil. In addition to the annual task of compiling the Aularian Bookshelf, Sasha wrote several articles for the Magazine: 1980/81 'Letters from Stephen Penton'; 1981/82 'The Case of the Missing Library' (concerning the whereabouts of the one-time parish library in St Peter-in-the-East); 1988/89 'Concerning St Peter-inthe-East'; 1989/90 'St Peter-in-the-East Memorials'. Her successor as College Librarian is Ms Deborah Eaton. Bill Williams Library Fellow REV CHRISTOPHER IRVINE was appointed as Chaplain five years ago, on Graham Midgley's retirement. He came to Oxford as Anglican Chaplain at the University of Sheffield and shared his position as Chaplain to the Hall with a post on the staff of St Stephen's House. Having no teaching duties, he created a new type of chaplaincy, in some ways more accessible to Junior Members because he used his membership of the Junior, Middle and Senior Common Rooms equally freely and his appointment did not carry the establishment stamp of membership of the Governing Body. Official contact with the Governing Body is, however, maintained through a new office of Dean of Chapel, first held by Bruce Mitchell and now by myself. We both pay tribute to Chris's warm and supportive approach to all members of the College. He was equally at home in different ways in Chapel, the Dining Hall, the Well and elsewhere. Different strands of Christianity do not always mix but those familiar with Chapel affairs will be interested to learn that the Christian Union have held their weekly meetings in Chapel this year. Some people have particular reasons to remember his chaplaincy, particularly those who have been married or baptised, and Aularians whose children have been baptised in Chapel. The past two years have also seen two confirmations in Chapel, with the service taken by our local Aularian Bishop Burrough who took a house near Oxford on his retirement from Zimbabwe. Other memorable services have been those designed by Chris for special occasions, among them the Advent Carol services that provided moments of calm before the hurly-burly of the annual College Christmas Dinner. CHRISTOPHER IRVINE

Chris leaves us at the end of his five year appointment to take up a full-time post at St Stephen's House. He will be missed by many in College, but we hope that he will cross the Cherwell from time to time. He and his family have our best wishes for the future. Mark Child Dean of Chapel THE NEW CHAPLAIN THE NEW CHAPLAIN is the Rev Gerald Hegarty who is at present priest-in-charge at Sibson with Sheepy and Ratcliffe Culey in Leicestershire. He is 38, married and has three children. His interests include painting and the history of art. He is engaged in research into the Doctrine of Election in Karl Barth's Church Dogmatics, and he will combine his chaplaincy at the Hall with a lecturership at Wycliffe Hall.

A VISIT TO NEW YORK the morning after the St Edmund Day Dinner, I flew to New York, at the invitation of a group of Old Members there, to attend their St Edmund Day Dinner. It is not that St Edmund has a different feast day in the U.S.A., but he has to adapt his timetable to the average work pattern, and so they hold their dinner on the nearest Friday. Under Bill Miller's inspiration this dinner has been going for a few years now, and originally was overpriced so that there would be a profit to send to St Edmund Hall. They had been thinking towards more energetic forms of fund-raising and invited me to attend to discuss both the College's needs and ways of meeting them. Not only did they fly me to New York, but I was met at the airport by Alan Westaway and helicoptered to the hotel (a slight exaggeration: I had to do the last quarter mile by taxi). I was allowed to recover in very comfortable rooms, and was then walked to the Sky Club, at the top of the Panam Building, for dinner (another inaccuracy: the elevators were working). Business was introduced half-way through dinner and then continued at the end,- quite a good way of ensuring an appetite for each course. The discussion centred first on the Hall's needs, and then on how to meet them. A lot of thought had clearly gone into the latter especially,- for the former they were relying on me. On needs, we discussed the general need for endowment income, if we are to be able to operate effectively in the face of growing restraints on income from other sources coupled with extra demands on expenditure, and if we are to remain competitive in both tutorial provision and other facilities. On means, we discussed the best approaches to other Old Members, and the possibilities of corporate funding. In relation to the latter especially, it became obvious that it is important to understand the strange federal nature of Oxford and its consequences for fundraising. To begin with, to the outside world it is Oxford University that has the main attractive power, while to Old Members it tends to be the College that is remembered. Further, some of the educational functions of the university are the province of 'central government', others of 'the states' (the colleges). Thus, the central university has responsibility for lectures, examining, the great research libraries and museums, such as the Bodleian and the Ashmolean and University Museums, and, importantly, faculties, departments and laboratories. The colleges are responsible for housing students, for tutorial provision for undergraduates and pastoral care for all students; they supply support libraries ON NOVEMBER 17,

and,- a point often forgotten, the work base for the majority of Arts lectures. Especially for colleges that teach undergraduates, it is rarely appropriate to have a cluster of fellows in the same branch of one subject, who might work on a combined project. Fellows in, say engineering, will be required for teaching different sections of the syllabus, and will often barely understand what each other might be up to. A college providing teaching for undergraduates, therefore, is not an obviously appropriate place to house a concentration of research, or a project attractive, say, to industry. Usually these are better clustered round a Chair in a university department. Colleges do, of course, support research, but apart from the normal requirement on all Fellows, it tends to be through research fellowships, where the holder can belong to a department, or, in some cases, work effectively largely on their own. Clearly, in the context of fund-raising, both parties have to be able to offer something. It is no use ignoring the fact that in present circumstances the Hall's first requirement must be some financial benefit. Being the college to which a Chair is attached is a cost and only brings financial rewards if the holder of the chair somehow brings them in his or her train. When we are thinking of posts, the financial advantage comes with ones where the holders will give tuition in subjects for which the college takes undergraduates. These do not have obvious glamour for prospective benefactors. With both funding fellowships and benefactions to improve facilities, there is always name recognition and some form of special relationship with the college to offer. In the former case it may also be possible to meet some special interest of the donor, either in the form of area of research, consultancy, or access to graduates. There are obviously special problems when one is approaching donors from across the Atlantic. These and related questions were thoroughly discussed, and have been further taken up since. I am due to return for more discussions later in the summer. I was impressed and somewhat humbled by the energy and enthusiasm of those there. Even after eight years as Principal I am amazed at the warmth of welcome one receives from Old Members, even when a main subject of discussion is how they can help raise money. What might have been an exhausting chore was turned into an exhausting enjoyable occasion. Justin Gosling

OXFORD ARTWEEK 'BRITAIN'S LARGEST VISUAL ARTS FESTIVAL'

was the eighth Oxford Artweek. Since the first Artweek in 1983 it has expanded enormously and now attracts the attention of the national media and visitors from all over the country. Artists and craftspeople open their homes and studios to the public and there are exhibitions all over Oxford and the surrounding towns and villages . This year, at the suggestion of Julia Johnson of the Accounts Office, the Governing Body agreed that the staff of St Edmund Hall should display their artistic and creative talents during Artweek. The response was amazing. An exhibition of art and craft was held in the Emden Room during the Sixth Week of Trinity Term with contributions from the academic, administrative and domestic staff and members of their families involved with St Edmund Hall. The exhibition was a great success. There were over 400 visitors and the exhibition attracted the national as well as the local press. The Times and Cherwell came to photograph the exhibition and The Daily Telegraph correctly ARTWEEK 90

reported that there were exhibits from everyone ranging from the Principal to the college plumber ('Spike') . It is unfortunately not possible to list here all the talents displayed but exhibits included wood sculpture (Graham Midgley), glass engraving (Mary Scargill), tapestry (Terry 'Spike' Lambert, Gill Kiefer, Sarah Bourne-Taylor) , a magnificent embroidered applique quilt (Carol McClure: College Secretary), watercolours (Justin Gosling , Peggy Todd), wood turning (Peter Chivers: maintenance, John Fry: lodge porter), theatre sketches (Reggie Alton), photography (Hazel Rossotti, Stephen Hesselbo, Crofton Black), knitting (Margaret Pargeter of the Bursary, Eunice Lock), oil paintings (John Knight, Iona Wright, Helen Hunt, Graham Wright : College Accountant, Julia Johnson: exhibition organizer), cane work (Christopher Phelps), drawings (Norman Pollock, Geoffrey Bourne-Taylor, Alan Steedman: lodge porter, Imogen Black, Tanya and Alistair Millard: daughter and son of the College Nurse, Sasha Wernberg-M111ller: College Librarian), additional paintings (Robin BourneTaylor), lace work (Mrs T. Lambert), printing (Vivian Ridler). Dried flower arrangements throughout the exhibition were by Mrs K. Brown (MCR Butler). The Ruskin Master of Drawing and Fine Art, Stephen Farthing, not only contributed an enormous oil painting entitled 'A downpour of things' but also created the Artweek flag (an abstract adaptation of the Hall flag) which adorned the High from the Besse Building for the duration of the exhibition. Everyone who contributed to the exhibition should be congratulated for their fine efforts. Especial thanks for their help and support are due to the Domestic Bursar (Geoffrey Bourne-Taylor), the Bursary, the Superintendent of Works (Stuart Dutson) who assisted with hanging the exhibition, and all those who enthusiastically offered to invigilate the exhibition and welcomed our many visitors so warmly. There are plans for an even bigger and better exhibition to be staged during Artweek 91. Exhibitors please note: there is no time to waste! Julia Johnson THE HALL GARDENS in every college when matters become so pressing that something has to be done. We cannot claim that the pressure has been with us for seven centuries, but the acquisition of College annexes within the last few years has made it necessary, for the first time in the Hall's history, to appoint a full-time gardener. It was thus in Hilary Term 1990 that David Jones, gardener, horticulturalist and native of Coventry, arrived amongst us. We were immediately involved in forming plans, agonising over them and getting them implemented. The lawn in the Front Quad has undergone a punishing programme of scarification and is now recovering to an even shade of green . The window boxes in the Front Quad, newly repainted, are overflowing in blue and mauve and silver and red with lobelia, helichrysum, and ivy-leaved pelargoniums. The borders near the main Dining Hall have been laid waste and re-planted: plans are appended for the horticulturally interested . They incorporate four specimens (actinidia kolomikta, magnolia stellata, camellia 'Donation' and acer palmatum 'Dissectum Garnet') which are gifts from our benefactor, Dr Frederick Brockhues. Notice is hereby given of other radical measures elsewhere in the grounds . Peter Collins Garden Fellow THERE COMES A TIME

A COMMEMORATIVE TREE FRIENDS of the late Geordie Leslie will be pleased to know that a Scotch Pine has been planted in his memory in a small raised garden outside the Wolfson Hall. A plaque on the wall of the Kelly Building was unveiled on 17 January by RearAdmiral Philip Edwards, Bursar of Wadham College and Chairman of the Domestic Bursars' Committee. Admiral Edwards was introduced by the Principal and then spoke warmly of Geordie's career, both as a naval man and as Bursar at the Hall. The ceremony was followed by tea in the Wolfson Hall attended by many who had known Geordie as friend and colleague. The wording on the bronze plaque is as follows:

This Scotch Pine (Pinus Sylvestris) was planted on 17 January 1990 in memory of Rear-Admiral GEORGE CUNNINGHAM LESLIE CB, OBE, MA Fellow and Domestic Bursar 1970-88 The St Edmund Hall Association was represented at the unveiling ceremony by Arthur Farrand Radley, Hon . Secretary of the Association. THE OLD BREW'S LOGIC LECTURES HOW DO YOU RATE on the Method of Concomitant Variations; Heteropathic Intermixture of Effects; Suppressio veri and Suggestio falsi; Amphibology; the Fallacies of Plurium interrogationum, Ignoratio elenchi and Argumentum ad Baculum; Undistributed Middle; and BARBARA? All these were child's play to the many generations of undergraduates from the Hall and outside reading Latin and Logic for Pass Moderations from the '20s up to 1946, when George Robert Brewis retired. It was good strong Aristotle brought bang up to date: 'it must be lamb, for here is the mint sauce'. As my own later tutor, H. J. Hunt, wrote in The Oxford Magazine of January 1956 after the Old Brew had died at nearly 84, 'by a happy knack of making

instruction pleasant, he attracted a wide clientele of both sexes. It was a familiar and happy sight through the years, on almost any day of the week, to see a long stream of students pouring out at noon or lunch-time from a dining hall one would have thought too small to contain them . No relations between teacher and alumni could have been more cordial, more immediately fruitful, more productive of permanent esteem and affection. He was a born teacher, whose urbanity and courtesy proceeded from a deep understanding of his pupils and an unfailing sweetness of disposition .' He had captained the Eton first XI at cricket; Principal Moore recruited him from Hertford in 1910; from 1914 he was Senior Tutor (his son the Rev. J. S., the Young Brew, being Vice-Principal1929-37) and at his Farewell Dinner he was elected plausu maxima a Vice-President of the Aularian Association, which became the St Edmund Hall Association in 1966. And his lectures remained legendary. It was Sir Claude Hayes , a former colleague, and President 1972-4, who initiated that appeal in the 1987-88 Magazine for recovery of Notes of what was always delivered noteless, so as to 'reconstruct a picture of this endearing feature of the freshman's year'. The response was satisfyingly productive. Michael Halsted, for example, (mat. 1938) beat his breast: 'Ah! The Old Brew! We loved him, and so looked forward to his Logic lectures, with syllogisms about bishops , bananas and bicycles. I cannot construct such a one today. We equally loved his Tacitus: 'Boadicea- a woman with the maximum of courage and the minimum of clothing' . And his History: when discussing John Stuart Mill we knew what would happen- he would demonstrate how to throw a Mills bomb from a trench over the parapet of the High Table.' Canon Michael Hennell (1937) recalls his Tacitus too: 'I was sitting at the head of the long table nearest the window where the Old Brew was operating. He said that the difference between the Britons and the Romans was that the Britons had large swords and small shields whereas the Romans had small swords and large shields. 'Hennell, being a Briton, would be waving his large sword over his head, and I, with my small sword and large shield, Roman nose over the top, would advance and advance . .. ', by which time he was almost on top of me. He was a wonderful man, always scoring points in jest off A.B.E.'- on which Sir Claude writes: 'I hanker after the mildly poignant remark quoted by one of our Note-takers: "I have yet to learn something that Dr Emden does not already know'' . ' My own recollections (1935) suggest that he had little time for women students, although since his were University lectures he had to admit a good number, mostly from the 'Home Studs' (now St Anne's). But he would try to unnerve them with horror stories of Feminine Logic, such as that of his wife who sent him a box of crockery which arrived broken since the box was too small. 'Well I'm sorry, dear,' she said when he remonstrated, 'but it was the largest I had.' The actual Notebooks are particularly moving after more than half a century. Mindful of my current horrid biro scribble I marvel at my totally legible copperplate taken down verbatim in that old fountain pen with blue ink, and Victor Peskett (1936) had a real imprimatur- he got his carefully-indexed volume actually signed by 'G. R. Brewis'. That couldn't have happened toP. H. Rogers (1932), however, who used the left-hand page of his volume for additional notes and even, on one occasion , for pure fantasy: the text went 'the major premise of the proposition contains the major and middle terms'- which he poeticised into 'the first proposition contains the major Brewis and the middle Brewis'. So what put the spark into this basically intractable material? It was, I submit, a real flair for illustration, particularly on false conclusions, and always with an

eye to the topical or local: 'all cooks wear aprons: all bishops wear aprons: therefore all bishops are cooks'. Or 'Ch.Ch. can be seen from Carfax: Carfax can be seen from St Mary's porch: therefore Ch.Ch . can be seen from St Mary's porch.' Simple stuff: but wait till you get: 'some imaginative persons are illiterate: no illiterate persons are good novelists: therefore some good novelists are not imaginative'. Prince Charles would have enjoyed his 'no Gothic buildings are modern: all Gothic buildings are beautiful: therefore no beautiful buildings are modern', and no doubt his plea for the Good Life: 'all pleasant things are wholesome: all luxuries are pleasant: therefore all luxuries are wholesome'. He exposed Obscure Language such as: 'Life is the metabolical acclivity of protoplasms' or 'a flea is an apterous hexapod'. He could be intensely practical: 'by the use of these burners I am saving half my gas-bill, so why not double the number of burners and save all the gas-bill?' . And a man of his times (this in 1932): 'The League of Nations is supported by all pacifists: but the average man is not a pacifist: therefore the average man cannot support the League'. Perhaps the climax to his formal curriculum was that hexameter jingle in fake Latin incorporating all the 19 valid syllogisms- each word in capitals containing three vowels representing propositions coded A E I or 0 . I might just as well quote it in full so that you can always have it to hand in case of emergency: BARBARA CELARENT DARII FERIOque prioris CESARE CAMESTRES FESTINO BAROKO secundae Tertia DARAPTI DISAMIS DA TISI FELAPTON BOKARDO FERISON habet: quarta insuper addit BRAMANTIP CAMENES DIMARIS FESAPO FRESISON I am sure that my unquenchable interest in the Baroque stems from that BAROKO, and the Old Brew, who was also normally an examiner and would insist on verbatim reproduction even for that Pass, would not have been amused by the report of one colleague in another place who would tell his class to 'forget it', did he not save himself, however, by adding: 'but you must learn it first'. To sum up, what better than the tribute in the 1943-48 Magazine on his retirement:- 'His kindliness, patience and sureness of judgment as a tutor, the vernal zest with which year after year he delivered his indispensable courses at lectures for Pass Moderations, will long be gratefully remembered by many generations of Aularians who sat at his feet, and by a host of other members of the University.' No wonder that Sir Claude himself bears witness that 'it was widely said that no-one who attended them ever failed ' . Halsted in his letter reminds us of the immediate pre-War round to the tune of Frere Jacques:A.B.Em&n,A.B.Em&n, Kelly too, Kelly too; Ramsay, Fletcher, Irvine, Ramsay, Fletcher, Irvine, And the Old Brew, And the Old Brew. And perhaps I may quote from my own left-hand pages in 1936 when I tried my hand at expressing my personal affection:Our Logical Tutor, Old Brew Made things plausible look wholly true All the jokes that he told Were some fifty years old But he hashed them all up as brand new! Arthur Farrand Radley

ST EDMUND HALL ENTRANCE AND SUBSCRIPTION BOOKS in the College Archives four small manuscript volumes in which, during the first half of the nineteenth century, new undergraduate members of the Hall were required individually to subscribe upon admission to the regulations about discipline which were then current. The oldest, which was in use from 1801 to 1811, is described on its front cover as an Entrance Book; the title of the second, which runs from 1812 to 1818, is Subscription Book, and two similar volumes cover the years 1818 to 1830 and 1831 to 1851. Each of the four volumes opens with a full text of the regulations of the Hall, which were subject to slight modification from time to time. The regulations which are reproduced below are those of the first of the three Subscription Books, and so those current in 1812. A specimen follows of the form in which the new member was required to sign his acceptance of them. The regulations reflect the official view of undergraduate discipline at a time when the Hall was under strongly Evangelical influence and enjoyed a high reputation in the University and beyond for learning and seriousness. It was a time when the Principals of the Hall left the running of it largely in the hands of their Vice-Principals: lsaac Crouch from 1783 to 1807, Daniel Wilson from 1807 to 1812, and John Hill, whose Diary the Hall still possesses, from 1812 to 1851. The subscriptions provide evidence of the names and dates of entry of undergraduate members of the Hall during the important fifty years of its history which they cover. John Cowdrey Hall Archivist THERE ARE PRESERVED

THE REGULATIONS agreed on by the Principal and Vice-Principal of Saint Edmund Hall in the University of Oxford; to be subscribed by every Member, on his admission to that Society. REGULATIONS

1. Every member must either reside through the Whole Term, or keep such a part of it as the Vice-Principal shall appoint. 2. No member is allowed to battel more than Twenty eight Shillings per Week without leave from the Principal or Tutor. 3. The resident members in rotation are to order dinner in the absence of the Vice-Principal; and every person in residence is to be charged one shilling and seven pence towards the dinner so ordered. 4. No member shall go out of College without having previously obtained leave of absence from the Principal. (Such leave to be requested by a Iatin epistle.) 5. Bills will be made out at the expiration of every Quarter, and no Gentleman may leave College till the last Quarter's account be discharged. 6. The cook is authorized to cross the name of any Gentleman who neglects settling his account ten days after he has received it. 7. Absence from Chapel, except in cases of illness, or for any other reason admitted by the Principal or Vice-Principal, will be censured as follows: Every omission after the third, in one week, will incur a literary exercise. Absentees on Sunday or on any season for which an appropriate service is appointed will likewise be subject to an exercise of the same nature. 8. No member is allowed to take more than two books out of the Library at a time, nor to leave College without returning to the Librarian the books for which he is accountable . 9. No removal into the rooms of absent members will be suffered without special leave from the Principal or Vice-Principal for that purpose.

10. The Hall-Gate is shut every night at Ten O'Clock. Admittance after that hour is reported to the Principal. The Porter's Fee for attendance is one penny after ten, sixpence after eleven, and one shilling after twelve o'clock. Admittance after twelve o'clock will likewise be followed, in the first instance, by a severe literary punishment, and in the second, by the loss of the Term. From those who are admitted after eleven o'clock, besides the Porter's Fee, a literary exercise will also be required. This rule applies likewise to the case of strangers going out from the rooms of any member. The person whose rooms they have left becomes subject to the same animadversion. 11. Non-attendance at Lecture or the Hall exercises will in no case be dispensed with (sic) unless leave of absence has been previously obtained. 12. Every person in Tuition is required to deliver to the Vice-Principal, on Monday, an account in writing of one at least of the discourses he has heard the preceding day . 13 . Testimonials for Holy Orders are granted by the Principal and Vice-Principal only after the completion of all the University exercises required of Undergraduates, upon the expectation and promise of proceeding to a Degree, and with an assurance from the Bishop to whom the Testimonials are addressed that such a Candidate will not be rejected on account of his being an Undergraduate, or not of sufficient standing in the University . 14. Every member is expected to pay Tuition and Room-Rent during the first four years or sixteen Terms after his admission. 15. The Principal in letting the Rooms reserves to himself the power of accommodating others with the use of them during the absence of the Tenants- requiring a solemn assurance that very great care shall be taken of the furniture, and that a proper compensation shall be made for any damage it may sustain. 16. One third of the Caution-money is to be applied to the support of the buildings of the Hall; and the remainder must be detained in the hands of the Principal, so long as the name of the person by whom it is deposited shall be continued in the Buttery-book. THE ACCEPTANCE FORM Lent Term 1812 I . . . . . . . . . . . . . . do hereby solemnly promise and declare that I will submit to the above regulations and to all the discipline of Saint Edmund Hall of which I am about to be admitted a member, and that I will be obedient to the Principal and Vice-Principal in all lawful commands. Witness my hand this fourteenth day of January in the year of Our Lord one thousand eight hundred and twelve.

ST. PETER-IN-THE-EAST MEMORIALS and the graveyard of St. Peter-in-the-East are rich in memorials; the position of many of the grave stones has been altered, but the memorials inside the church have been left as much as possible in their original places . The Revd. J. S. Reynolds (matric. 1938) has just completed a list of those gravestones which were actually removed, and has given this list, with a site map, BOTH THE CHURCH

into the keeping of the library; this is to be followed by a list of stones still standing, and the completed task will be a valuable and informative addition to the library archives, as well as a potentially useful guide for genealogists. It is with many thanks that Mr. Reynold's mammoth and painstaking work is now acknowledged here. Apart from the floor memorials (now for the most part protected by carpet) there are some 52 wall memorials in St. Peter-in-the-East, plus the large Benefactors' Board over the south entrance; of these 32 are in Latin, and thanks to Richard Gaskin (Junior Research Fellow) there are now English translations. These memorials are well worth studying for the fine examples of 17th and 18th century lettering and ornamentation, and for the interesting sentiments expressed; it would be too cumbersome to reproduce the whole lot here, but Aularians may like to read the small sample from the translations which follow: On the west wall by the large window is the memorial to John Freind, who matriculated as a student of St. Edmund Hall shortly before his fatal illness: To the memory of John Freind, a young man of excellent hope, the only son of his parents, from the parish of Westerleigh in Gloucestershire, a commoner of St. Edmund Hall, who succumbing to the onset of a fever then widespread, left us, conqueror of all ills, on an ill day, March 20th in the year of Our Lord 1672, being 17 years of age. His father in great sadness Laid this memorial. Thou! who rashly passest by this sacred church, Lo, the Godhead and the Grave desire thou tarry. Thee the ashes of a learned man and a Noble Shade delay, Thee the precincts, hallowed by this tomb, and the altar summon. Thou must pray with all the strength of piety and knowledge; the latter vows itself to weeping, the former to prayers. Each requires of thee lamentation and to make an offering in this place, Whether thou preferest to call it a temple or a tomb. (Dr. J. N. D. Kelly has a reference to John Freind in his book 'St. Edmund Hall . Almost Seven Hundred Years', pp. 43, 44.) John Stronge's memorial is also at the west end, against the wall of the tower: Here lie the earthly remains of John Strong, well born, an old man of eighty years, recently a commoner of Hart Hall, and formerly caterer of the same place; who in piety towards his Lord fell asleep on the 11th day of January, and in the year of Christ's birth 1625. I would I were disolved with Christ. I wait until I shall be renewed .

Great grace it was, that you accomplished so many years, and that old age came late to you. But greater grace it was, that you completed so many years with a pious death; a good death will stead you much. Old age shaken off, ascend the heavens where only pleasing youth flourishes, old age does not oppress. For the sake of devoted memory and gratefulness R.D., grieving, laid this stone. Oxford's rivers took their toll of life in the 17th and 18th centuries as they still do now, and the two following memorials are a sad reminder of this: Henry Smith (against the north wall) was matriculated at Queen's College in 1638-9, aged 16: Sacred to the Most High God and to the memory of Henry Smith. A young man of excellent hope, the son of Roger Smith of Edmund Thorp in the county of Leicestershire, a soldier: a commoner of the Queen's College. Who, while during the Summer hours he committed himself with more trust than prudence to the waters of the Cherwell, for the sake of diverting his mind and securing his safety, not being entirely inexperienced in swimming nor yet sufficiently skilled, alas was dragged under by a swift undercurrent of the river; leaving merely the great loss of himself to his sad parents, he swam from the waves of this stormy life to the gate of eternity, on the 21st May in the year of Our Lord 1640. And Francis Cooke (against the west wall): In the hope of joyful resurrection lie below the remains of Francis the eldest son of Edward Cooke, a gentleman from the city of Exeter; and a commoner of the Queen's College: a young man of excellent hope, well-seen in the pleasantness of his breeding and the purity of his character. Fortunate in such an offspring, his father had been more fortunate if only this gift might have endured; but alas! this outstanding youth while bathing sank beneath the river, and died an untimely death on the 29th day of May in his 19th year, and of our redemption 1726. Above the door leading to the tower is the memorial to Matthew Frampton, who not only donated a large number of books to Magdalen College, but also

gave ÂŁ600 towards the cost of erecting the new buildings, and was apparently possessed of many virtues: Sacred to the pious shades of the distinguished Matthew Frampton M.D. a Magdalen man, versed in ancient and modern literature, he had always the urbanity of a traveller, and a truly English integrity. He chose to despise the abstruse trivialities of theory but not to be ignorant of them. wise by nature in research and practice, honest, successful. To the sick, whom he pitied in silence, he would not administer anything superfluous, nor omit anything necessary; he took account of all views, but was firm of judgment. Nay, while he shone out to his contemporaries as a model of temperance and wisdom, he fell victim to the gout, sole offence to his divine skill, on the 22nd day of August 1742, being 73. He gave six hundred books to Magdalen College. He married Mary, daughter and sole heir of the reverend holy father Baptist, bishop of Sodor and Man, and of Mary sprung from the noble stock of Hyde, from whom he secured three children, snatched away by early death. There follows one whose name alone- Godscalcus Hosatus- distinguishes him as worthy of inclusion here: This memorial is laid to the memory of Godscalcus Hosatus, a young nobleman from Alefeld, of great hope and endowed with all the virtues. He laid well the foundations of ethics, politics, history and the law, of Latin and some foreign languages, but early death took him, alas! in the flower of his youth, in the midst of his studies and in the course of travel, on the 7th of August in the year 1635, to the grief of all good men. He has left his ashes in England, but his soul he has translated to the blessed abode of angels. The above memorial is on the buttress by the west arch in the Lady Chapel. Also in the Lady Chapel is the memorial to Richard Ratcliff, a Fellow of Merton College, taking his B.A. in 1571-2, licenced to practise medicine in 1585, and principal of St. Alban Hall, 1581-99: Richard Ratcliff, Doctor of Medicine, died January 1599, buried 21st Jan. aged 54.

In whom probity, virtue, piety and learning could not preserve when alive, or defend from death, his beloved wife, sadly surviving, decided upon this monument for her departed husband, and set it up for him. Surely an early forbear of the Radcliffe who has done so much for Oxford by way of medicine and the sciences. Perhaps the few examples given above will quicken the interest of Aularians and all who visit the library to regard this rich collection of memorials in a different light than just as wall decoration. (The translations are, for the most part, the work of Richard Gaskin, but I am also indebted to H. E . J . Cowdrey, J . N. D. Kelly , and R. E. Alton for their advice on some of the difficulties.)

Miss Heather Parry PHILIP GEDDES MEMORIAL PRIZE for the Philip Geddes Prize I felt I wanted to use the money if I won to investigate a social issue. The idea of looking at the prison problem came to me after I read an article on prison conditions in The Observer. I found it most disturbing to read about the brutal conditions inside which are allowed to exist in a so-called civilised nation in the late twentieth century. When I won the prize I approached the Home Office in the hope they would give me access to prisons. I particularly wanted to concentrate on young offenders as this group are the most likely to re-offend and provide a microcosm of all prison life with suicides and drug related problems particularly common in this group. I visited Portland Young Offenders Prison in Dorset. It was like visiting a real no-man's land where violence reigns. During my first hour inside a fight broke out among inmates. There was a constant atmosphere of tension. However some WHEN I ENTERED

good work was going on in the prison; some of the officers were very caring and the young prisoners were taught a variety of skills in the prison workshops. Yet the depressing fact is that two-thirds of these young men will re-offend. Many will find it hard to be accepted when they return to society just because they have a criminal record. It is a 'catch 22' situation; if they cannot get jobs they will return to crime. My second visit to a prison was to a very different type of institution, an open prision for women- East Sutton Park. But despite the relative comfort and freedom compared with Portland, East Sutton's inmates also have their problems. I investigated the heart-rending situation where mothers are separated from their children. I interviewed inmates and discovered that if a mother is imprisoned her children also have a sentence imposed on them by the judge. I found both prison visits most disturbing but I am most grateful that the Geddes Prize gave me the opportunity to see a world few outsiders ever see. My article on Portland has been published in The Daily Express and hopefully my report on mothers in prison will also appear in that newspaper. Rachel Trethewey MURIEL RADFORD MEMORIAL PRIZE IT TOOK EIGHT MONTHS of very intensive planning and over ÂŁ20,000 was raised through sponsorship. Four students were planning to spend three months in one of the most remote places on earth- the north west coast of Ellesmere Island in the Canadian High Arctic. We chartered a small plane, filled it with everything we would need for three months, as we were to be totally self sufficient, and flew 600 miles towards the Pole from Canada's most northerly settlement. It was the afternoon of the lOth June 1989. The plane's skis touched the soft snow covering the sea ice of Phillips Inlet. After taxiing between the icebergs we finally came to a stop near to our proposed base camp. We quickly unloaded the plane and it flew off and disappeared behind a distant ridge. The next person we would see other than the four of us would be the pilot on our homeward journey. It was a beautiful afternoon. The sun was shining, there was no wind, no running water; it was totally silent. The only sign of life was a trail of footprints left in the snow by an Arctic Fox. It was the most beautiful and peaceful place I had ever visited, almost totally unexplored. We were nearer the North Pole than the nearest shop, surrounded by huge unnamed, unclimbed mountains and felt totally insignificant. The purpose of our visit to Phillips Inlet was to undertake research. It was our intention to carry out original work in arctic ecology, concentrating mainly on the aspects concerned with Arctic Hares and the migratory sea-birds found in the area and to produce the first detailed geological map of the area. The broad aspects of arctic ecology are understood and well documented from work in more southerly areas of the arctic. However, it is still very important to gather data specific to particular areas of the Arctic. Before our visit no biological field-work had ever been carried out in the Phillips Inlet region. The geology of the area is very complex because of its history of deformation. Limited work had already been done while mapping on a broad regional scale. Our intention was to produce a detailed map of one of the most complex areas, to complement the broad studies. The research was greatly hampered by bad weather; in fact the worst in the

region for over nine years. This, along with the premature onset of winter by a month, cut short the time available for field work. What we achieved was not high powered, but equally no one can say it was irrelevant; it is another piece in the puzzle. It is slowly becoming obvious that the Polar regions are not just the stamping grounds of the great explorers but areas that amplify the trends of global change, both from a climatic and a biological perspective. The tundra is not threatened by whole-scale destruction, like the tropical forests, but it is exceeding fragile. The impression of a boot in a clump of moss will last for decades and even an apple core would take many years to rot away. People are very quick to forget how the North Slope of Alaska has changed since the discovery of oil and the long term implications of oil spillages such as the loss from the Exxon Valdise. As the increasingly resource-hungry world turns to the most remote areas of the world, to satisfy exuberant needs, it is vitally important that baseline data for these areas is available as a parameter from which the effects can be measured. Work must be encouraged in areas such as the Arctic. They are often politically sensitive and greater international co-operation between the host and visitor can be of great benefit to both sides. In purely scientific terms it could be argued that money should be spent sending more qualified researchers. On the other hand, try giving the people who have the drive to organise themselves and the passion to carry out the research the opportunity to work in such areas. They may well go further and achieve more. For helping us we are most grateful to Professor Radford. Joe McCarron PRIZES AND GRANTS THE FOLLOWING

THE GAUDY St Edmund Hall Gaudy was held on Saturday 30 September 1989 in the Wolfson Hall, those invited having matriculated in the early 1950s. In his welcoming speech the Principal spoke of a Gaudy as an occasion for celebration and rejoicing. The early 'fifties had been a time of rapid change in St Edmund Hall, when crucial decisions had been taken which ensured a rapid transition from hall to college. As the only survivor of the once numerous medieval halls, SEH had formerly been able to rely on its attraction to poor students, but state education had ended that possibility. John Kelly and his colleagues had thus shown great foresight in recognizing the need to expand and to become a college in order to compete. This growth, in numbers and in accommodation, had been achieved without detriment to the character of the Hall and without creating internal divisions. St Edmund Hall, with its academic, sporting, dramatic and artistic reputation high, was still an interesting and varied place to which to belong, and this was occasion for celebration. All joined in the toast of Floreat Aula and Tuppy Owen Smith, describing himself as the youngest Old Member present, gave a brief speech of thanks to the Principal and Fellows. There were present: the Principal, the President of the St Edmund Hall Association (Mr R. A. Farrand, 1955), 26 Fellows (including Honorary and Emeritus Fellows), the Chaplain, the Librarian, the Junior Dean, and the following Old Members: J. R. Allchurch 1950, I. S. Bain 1955, Rev J. A.

â&#x20AC;˘

THE REUNION of old members took place on Saturday 23 June, preceded by a meeting of the Executive Committee of the St Edmund Hall Association at which Mr John Heggadon presided for the first time. In his speech at the dinner, the Principal began by welcoming the new President and by conveying the greetings of Dr Kelly. He spoke of the College's regret that the Chaplain was leaving after five years but of pleasure in the successes of Dr Child (FRS), Dr Hunt (Readership) and Dr Hurley (British Academy Research Readership). A number of undergraduate prizes had been won and the three Firsts already awarded in Mathematics, together with three more in Geology, promised well for the College's academic record. Successes in sport had included shooting, mixed hockey, cross country and athletics but, sadly, not this year the ballroom dancing competition. Enterprising undergraduates had found their way to the Arctic, the Himalayas and to the islands of Micronesia. The arts flourished in the form of the John Oldham Society and the many concerts organized by a vigorous Music Society. The banner which, at the Reunion hung above the Principal's table, had been designed by the Ruskin Master to advertise the Hall's contribution to Artweek, the tangle of choughs at its centre being symbolic of a Governing Body meeting. Other advances at the Hall included the computerization of the College Accounts, the erection of a new graduate building in Norham Gardens thanks to the continued generosity of Dr Brockhues, and the appointment of a full time gardener, the benefits of whose arrival were clear for all to see in the quad. Responding to the toast of Floreat Aula, John Heggadon described the ways in which the St Edmund Hall Association was already helping the Hall and what plans he and his colleagues on the Executive Committee had for the future. These included the further expansion of the College's endowment, cleaning more of the 'dirty pictures' in the Wolfson Hall, establishing closer links with both SCR and MCR, republishing the Directory in 1992, revival of the Old Hilarians fixture, and a special Fiftieth Anniversary London Dinner. There were present: the Principal, the President of the St Edmund Hall Association (Mr J. M. Heggadon), the Chaplain, the Presidents of the MCR and the JCR, the following Fellows (including Honorary and Emeritus Fellows): R. E. Alton, Dr P. J. Collins, Dr R. Fargher, Rev Prof J.

ST EDMUND HALL ASSOCIATION MINUTES OF THE 59TH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATION-9 JANUARY 1990 THE 59TH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATION was held in the Smoking Room of Simpson's-in-the-Strand, 100 Strand, London WC2R OEW on Tuesday 9 January 1990 at 6.15 p.m., R. A. Farrand presiding. 34 members were present.

Apologies were received from (inter alios):-Canon Dr J. N. D. Kelly: R. J. L. Breese, J. Lee, Miss R. M. Martel, Sir William Nield, D. G. C. Salt, Dr D. I. Scargill, J. D. Shortridge. 1. MINUTES

The Minutes of the last, 58th Meeting, held on 10 January 1989, having been published in the 1988-89 Magazine and copies being available, were taken as read, confirmed and signed by the President. There were no matters arising. 2. PRESIDENT'S REPORT R. A. Farrand briefly reviewed the year's activities, mentioning particularly the book 'Hall', the 80th birthday party (JNDK LXXX) held on 22 April 1989, and the project to clean up the portraits in the Wolfson Dining Hall. 3. PRINCIPAL'S REPORT J. C. B. Gosling said he had nothing to report. 4. HON . SECRETARY'S REPORT H. A. F. Radley said he had been honoured, along with the President and Nigel Pegram (who had taken a prominent part in organising the JNDK LXXX), by an invitation to take luncheon with Dr Kelly in the Old Library on 11 November. The President had presented Dr Kelly on behalf of the Association with a photographic memoir, compiled by the Hon. Secretary, of the event, a complement to the successful video. He added that the new Hon. Assistant Secretary appointed by the Executive Committee in June, P. R. Lewis, was having a smooth run in and was already proving a dab hand at Minute-drafting.

5. HON. TREASURER'S REPORT J. R. Paul was saddened to relate an enforced break in a long-standing tradition. The Charity Commissioners, monolithically, had ruled the Association out of order in holding Premium Bonds, a dashing if minor asset which had not failed to come up trumps on the odd occasion over some 25 years. He paid a tribute to all those who had had a hand in their holding, including J. D. Shortridge as a long-term titular bearer in times of yore, and the Meeting bade farewell to its Bonds with moistened eyes. He reported that the Executive Committee, at its Meeting immediately beforehand, had endorsed a proposal he had made to them, seconded by his predecessor D. J. Day, that in order to help him with his budgeting and the Executive Committee in their annual Allocations to the work of the Hall, improving precision in both cases, the Association's financial year - now ending on 31 July-should change so as to end on 30 May, and with immediate effect in 1990. This proposal was now put to the Meeting and accepted nem.con. The Accounts for the financial year ended 31 July 1989, which had been signed by him and the President, duly audited and pre-published in the 1988-89 Magazine, were, after due proposal and seconding, adopted nem.con. 6. PROPOSAL FOR AN ALTERATION TO THE CONSTITUTION (1981 Revise) As provided for under Rule 10 G. L. H . R. Shield proposed, having given due notice, the following alteration to Rule 9 (concerning the Executive Committee and following the provision that the 'elected members shall retire in rotation .. .' and be 'eligible for re-election'): 'If any member of the Executive Committee shall be absent from three successive meetings of the Committee save for sufficient reason he or she may be requested to retire from the Committee. ' Questioned on whether such a proposal, if approved, would need to be referred to the Charity Commissioners, who had approved the Constitution, he said that their Mr NashBrown had ruled that provided that we had no rule stating that we had to obtain their approval (which was the case) then it was in order for us to amend our rules without further reference. The Hon. Secretary reminded the Meeting that the founding Constitution of the Aularian Association (our predecessor) in 1926 contained a much more Draconian measure on the subject of non-attendance (miss one- and out) and this was rigorously enforced right up to WW II- although tempered by eligibility for re-election. The proposal, which was seconded by The Rev. E. G. Midgley, was carried nem.con. 7. ELECTIONS President 1990-92 With J. M. Heggadon MA BSc Lond . (matric. 1961) taking a turn round the Block, G. L. H. R. Shield proposed, and I. R. K. Rae seconded, that he be elected President for the next three-year term . Now aged fifty, said Gordon Shield, John Heggadon entered the construction industry on coming down and had spent the whole of his working life in it - now Sales and Marketing Director of N. G. Bailey, electrical engineering contractors widely involved in the construction industry, with capital assets of over ÂŁ60m and a workforce of over 3000: Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Marketing (FCIM), a Fellow of the Faculty of Building (FFB), Hon. Treasurer and Past Chairman of the Construction Industry Marketing Group and a Past Deputy Chairman of the Buiiding Materials Export Group. In the sporting field he had played Rugger for, and captained, the Saracens-one of the twelve largest clubs in England-and Kent. He had also

played for Berkshire, where he was a County Selector. He had also had an English Trial and was a member of Vincent's. Gordon Shield continued that he had known John Heggadon for some years. He thought he had attended every possible Hall function: he had spoken to him at considerable length regarding this nomination for President and had explained the very great volume of work that it entailed. He was convinced that if elected he would carry out his duties most conscientiously and considered that in view of his wide business and sporting interests together with his desire to do his best for the Hall he would make an excellent President. He was pleased to nominate him for the office; I. R. K. Rae, the seconder, was a member of the Executive Committee and a contemporary of Heggadon's at the Hall. J. M. Heggadon was unanimously elected and on returning to the Meeting was warmly welcomed by the President and all those present.

On the nomination of the Executive Committee-no other nominations having been received by the Hon. Secretary in response to the invitation contained in the distributed AGM Agenda paper and the candidates being willing to stand - the following elections/ re-elections were made unanimously:Hon. Secretary 1990 (one-year term):- H. A . F. Radley re-elected Hon. Treasurer 1990 (one-year term): - J. R. Paul re-elected Members of the Executive Committee by Age Groups (Matriculation years shown):Up to 1934: - G. L. H. R. Shield (retiring by rotation) re-elected F. H. H. Finch elected in a vacancy created by the death of J. B. Allan in 1975, 'frozen' by the Executive Committee in 1976 but now re-opened. 1935-44:- W. N. Hillier-Fry (retiring by rotation) re-elected 1945-54: - R. J. L. Breese (vice D. J. Derx, resigned) re-elected on return from overseas after previous service. 1955-64: - M. G. M. Groves (retiring by rotation) re-elected No elections were made in the vacancies created by the resignations of J. R. Smith (1965-74) or Dr G. D. Wattles (1975-84), as there were no nominations. There were thus no Committee members matriculating between 1967 and 1979; suggestions were welcomed.

APPOINTMENT OF HON. AUDITOR

I. R. K. Rae, a member of the Executive Committee, was unanimously

re-appointed. 9.

VALEDICTORY APPRECIATION

Sir Claude Hayes, the senior Past President, paid tribute to the work of the outgoing President, R. A. Farrand . Roger, he said, had been a very active President and his sensible and dynamic approach had been of the greatest service to the Association. The Meeting endorsed this plausu maxima. 10. DATE OF NEXT MEETING Tuesday 8 January 1991, Simpson's-in-the-Strand, 6.15 p.m.

There being no further business authorised to be transacted at an Annual General Meeting the Meeting closed at 6.30 p.m. R. A. Farrand apologised for this palpable over-run. P. R. LEWIS, Hon. Assistant Secretary ARTHUR FARRAND RADLEY, Hon. Secretary

Hon. Vice-Presidents Professor E G. MARCHAM BA PhD, USA Canon J. N. D. KELLY DD FBA, Oxford The above list was correct following the AGM in January 1990. It is expected that the vacancies will have been filled by the time the Magazine appears. Paul Lewis THE LONDON DINNER THE 49TH LONDON DINNER of the St Edmund Hall Association was held at Simpson's-in-the-Strand on Tuesday, 9 January 1990. The attendance was 116 and included Sir Robin Day, Grand Inquisitor and recently-elected Honorary Fellow. The President of the Association, Roger Farrand, began by greeting tthe Association's four guests, the Principal, J. M. Basnage de Beauval, Presidel'lt of the M.C.R., Antony Greenham, President of the J.C.R., and Mr Colin Mattingley, the College fund-raiser. As this was the last occasion on which he would be addressing the assembly, the time had come for him to pay tribute and to reminisce. Roger first thanked the Principal warmly for his generosity and all the assistance which he had given him during his presidency. He expressed his thanks, too, to all members of the Association Committee and the many others who had helped the Association to expand its activities during his tenure of office. The highlight of events too numerous to mention was the grand celebration on 22 April 1989 of Dr John Kelly's eightieth birthday. While a detailed account of this momentous occasion had already appeared in the Magazine, he felt that he should mention particularly the great part played by Reggie Alton in organising the event. In a further tribute to Dr Kelly he complimented him on his brilliant new history of the College. Finally, after welcoming his successor, John Heggadon, the retiring President sat down to prolonged and enthusiastic applause. In his reply the Principal thanked Roger Farrand for his kind remarks and everything he had achieved during the past three years and looked forward to a happy association with his successor. He then mentioned certain items of news which had already been recorded in the Magazine. John Kelly had retired as Dean of Degrees, but he had a worthy successor in Reggie Alton; and the classical interest would continue in the latter's safe hands. Arthur Marsh had retired after twenty-four years as a Fellow in Industrial Relations and been elected an Emeritus Fellow. Dr Mark Child had been elected a Fellow of the Royal Society, while Dr Susan Hurley had been awarded a British Academy Research Readership. Colin 37

Mattingley, whom he was glad to see present at the Dinner, had been appointed College fund-raiser. Academically, the College had once again obtained the respectable number of thirteen firsts. The Music Society had flourished and given some very successful concerts. As for sport, he, the Principal, had magnanimously signed a petition emanating from the younger element at the Dinner and circulated round the tables which light-heartedly deplored the loss by the College of Rugby cuppers. He nevertheless declined to bow his head in shame, declaring that it was only right that now and then another college should be allowed a turn and proudly pointing out that S.E.H. had won the Athletics cuppers while continuing to hold an unblemished record in Ballroom Dancing and Cross Country. One of the most enjoyable events of the past year had been his visit to New York in November to represent the College at the annual Aularian Dinner held at the Pan Am Sky Club. He recounted his experiences and waxed lyrical as he gazed at the sunrise over the East River while being woken over the hotel intercom . The Principal concluded with three further items of news. The College accounts had been computerised. Under the direction of the Domestic Bursar, Geoffrey Bourne-Taylor, they would shortly be introducing a magnetic card entry system to combat a series of walk-in crimes, and the only unofficial source of entry into the College in future would be where the Bursar had left a gap in the barbed wire. Lastly, the College had joined La Societe des Amis de Pontigny. The next London Dinner, to be held at Simpson's on Tuesday, 8 January 1991, will be the fiftieth, and it is hoped to commemorate the occasion in suitable fashion. In addition to the Association's guests the following Aularians attended the 1990 Dinner: 1925 R. S. Orchard; 1930 Sir Claude Hayes; 1931 The Revd R. J. Vaughan; 1932 D. Floyd; 1933 F. H. H.

THE FIFTH AULARIAN DINNER

Nick Howard Alex McCallum Fletcher Newsum John Nesbitt William Miller Hugh Ranee Allan Walker Reade William Sotirovich Elmer Sprague John Ward Alan Westaway Aula'.

Bill Miller, who convened the gathering again, warmly welcomed the Principal who had been in Oxford the day before (St. Edmund's Day itself) and had crossed the Atlantic specifically for our dinner. His presence and interest in our activities were deeply appreciated. In view of the Principal's noble effort, we asked him to speak prior to the main course. He described the Hall's desired student and facility size and its present annual expenses and sources of funds. He also described the level of endowment capital and income required to maintain the Hall. The Principal noted that the minimum endowment Oxford expects of any college by the year 2000 is £7,000,000 which requires an additional £3,000,000 for the Hall. He then outlined the Hall's campaign to raise capital in the U.K. and the relationship of the Hall to the Campaign for Oxford. Following the Principal's talk, there was a general discussion of specific uses of funds for the Hall which might provide goals for a U.S. campaign to raise capital. Three subjects received the most attention: (i) the endowment of individual fellowships, requiring approximately £700,000 each, (ii) contemplated improvements to the JCR requiring up to £250,000 and (iii) the provision of annual support to individual undergraduates of £2,000 each. From the proceeds of this Dinner, $1011 was sent to the Hall via the American Trust Fund for Oxford University, a record amount, and additional cheques in the amount of $3300 were forwarded directly by three members present. So the evening was both a financial success and a very enjoyable occasion. Aularians coming to the U.S.A. are encouraged to contact either Fletcher Newsum, whose telephone numbers are- Business (203) 325-6648 Personal (212) 362-2178, or Bill Sotirovich at (212) 750-9076 or (212) 254-5085 and get on our mailing list. Those present agreed to reconvene in 1990-we now plan to have our Dinner at the Sky Club on Friday, November 9th, 1990. Floreat Aula! Postscript Three subsequent luncheon meetings have been held in order to accelerate our fund raising activities. We have decided that henceforward our Annual Dinner will be a purely social occasion, run on a direct cost basis and not be part of the fund raising programme. We have formed a working group to raise money for the

Hall to try to respond meaningfully to the Principal's request . We are also closely coordinated with the Campaign for Oxford. William R. Miller

PROFESSOR H. F. BROOKS 1907-90 MA, D.Litt, Honorary Fellow of the Hall since 1987, died on 23 July 1990, aged 83. Much of Harold Brooks' career was spent at Birkbeck College, University of London, where he was appointed Assistant Lecturer in 1945. He was successively Lecturer, Reader and Professor of English Literature, retiring in 1974. His publications ranged from Chaucer to Eliot, but he wrote most extensively on Shakespeare and his contemporaries and he will be remembered at the Hall as the Editor and Biographer of John Oldham (1653-83). It is hoped that Professor Brooks' work on Oldham will be marked by a tablet in St Peter-in-the-East, a library to which he made several generous donations of first editions and manuscripts. HAROLD FLETCHER BROOKS,

CLUBS AND SOCIETIES THE BOAT CLUB Captain: JAMES A . HIMES Secretary: MARK Fox Vice-Captain: MARK LEWIS Social Secretary: ANDY LAWS Treasurer: SEAN COCHRANE Steward: PETER MICHAELIS THE PAST YEAR, it might be said, has been an epic one; the mighty have fallen; the weather was of nearly biblical violence, and the Hall, once again, fought valiantly to maintain its honour and position on the river. The hallmark of the year, however, must be the enthusiasm with which Hall men and women have rowed and raced. As usual, nearly one half of the freshers turned up to be banktubbed by an overworked coaching staff. This process yielded five men's crews and three women's crews for the ever popular Christ Church Regatta. The stage was thus set for a strong Hall performance in Torpids. As someone commented in mid-February, this year's Torpids would be more aptly named Rapids. Steady rains throughout Oxfordshire kept the Thames roaring, the level of the river often rising to the very doors of the boathouses. After a couple of novice crews (none, I'm pleased to report, from Teddy Hall) were nearly washed over the weir at Iffley, the Captains voted to reduce Torpids to two days and limit it to men's first and second division crews. This eliminated all Hall boats save the Men's First Torpid. The men travelled far and wide in search of navigable water, training in Wallingford , Reading, and even Coate Water Park . Unfortunately, results were mixed. On the first day the men bumped an incredibly slow Keble boat, only to be bumped by an over enthusiastic Pembroke VIII the next day. Nothing lost, nothing gained ... The Boat Club went into the summer months with some trepidation. As usual, the relatively inexperienced men's First VIII was surrounded by boats full of Blues, Isis rowers, Half-Blues and even Internationals. Of particular concern was the boat immediately behind, St John's, which included the stroke of last year's Blue Boat and two other Blues. When the cannon fired on the first day, the First VIII showed that its intense training had not been in vain. Somehow, against all expectations, they stayed ahead of St John's. Again, on the second day, they crossed the line ahead of St John's, who had succeeded in bringing their bow well into the Hall boat. It was on that day that a great roar of tens of thousands of voices went up; Oriel had lost the Head to Univ. On the third day, the VIII was finally caught, and thus ended an incredible year, sixth on the river. The efforts and dedication of the First VIII (cox: Andrew Shortland, stroke: Mick Jenkins, Martin Wailer, Dave Strupp, Jim Himes, Paul Billyard, Andy Laws, Ed Caddick and Mark Fox) cannot be overestimated. Neither can the contribution of perennial coach, Mr Hugh Thomas. The Second VIII, stroked by marathoner Sean Cochrane, turned around a slow start to rocket three places from ninth to sixth in the Third Division. The Hall now has one of the highest Second VIIIs on the river. The rest of the crew was: cox: Sarah Davison, Steven Whittington, Steve Asplin, Simon Hodgson, Mark Lewis, Mark Lauder, Craig Cahall and Stewart Martin. Finally, it remains to thank the Boat Club Committee for a very difficult task honourably performed. Steve Whittington, the new Captain of Boats, will be fortunate indeed if his committee is nearly as efficient. J.A.H.

THE LADIES BOAT CLUB

Captain: HELEN IXER THE GLORY of the Women's Boat Club in the year 1988/ 89, when the First Torpid achieved blades and the First Summer VIII narrowly missed doing so, proved to be a hard act to follow. Two novice crews were entered in Christ Church Regatta in Michaelmas Term which, despite considerable training and great potential, failed to make their mark. We launched into Torpids term with enthusiasm, the First Torpid consisting of members from all three years, including two novices. However, the weather and other female members of OUBC were against us. When the river was closed we maintained our fitness on land, but Women's Torpids was cancelled because of lack of opportunity for practice. Trinity Term saw the loss of the third year, experienced members of the crew (Sarah Muscroft, Alice Lawson and Laura Godsal) and our cox, who defected to the men ' s boat. However they were replaced by a returning Heather Wenlock and several enthusiastic first years. We were also delighted by the competence of our new cox, Vania Cheng, whose ability improved over the term. In Eights Week, however, despite neat technique and a sturdy start, our lack of stamina was evident and we were bumped twice in the first three days. On the final day we should have rowed over but instead caught a crab, hit the bank and were consequently bumped by Worcester. The Second VIII rowed valiantly in Eights after a solid term's training, despite problems in finding a cox and coach. They rowed on with an unspectacular time, but were placed high in their divison where they held their place admirably for two of the four days. The current level of equipment in the Women's Boat Club is at its best ever, with the donation of our new First Eight, the Colleton, which, freshly painted and christened in Hilary Term, is a delight to row in. Thanks are due to Chris Morgan for restoring the boat to such good condition. I would also like to thank Simon Mills, Steven King, Craig Cahall and Ian Grant for their coaching throughout the year and Dr Taylor for her continued support. Finally, I wish every success to Anna Hambleton as she takes over as Captain. H.I.

THE RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB

Captains: ]AMES PETERKIN (Cuppers)

STEPHEN SPORRON (League)

THE 1989/ 90 SEASON continued the process of rebuilding initiated the season before, with a talented and enthusiastic crop of freshers . The League campaign started with a testing game against newly promoted Wadham and despite several players carrying injuries, the team pulled through to win 18-17. The League team remained unbeaten throughout the mid-season period in spite of some internal restructuring in the higher echelons of the club. The climax to the League came on the last Tuesday of term, our opponents the also unbeaten Christ Church. Although the Hall side played the more open and exciting rugby, Christ Church emerged the victors, 9-6 after an outstanding performance from their number 16. The Second XV developed a good team spirit and performed well over the entire season, and the Hilarians (Third XV) remained unbeaten . The Cuppers team boasted no Blues this year but did include four players from the newly formed University Under-21 side: Alex Boag, Luke Jones,

James Murphy O'Conner and Richard Sennit. A rout of Merton and Mansfield in the first round was followed by a closer match against St Peter's, the Hall making hard work of a mediocre side. Our exit from the competition came in the third round with a courageous performance against a larger, more experienced University College team. St Anne's/St John's eventually retained the title, not surprisingly given their large quota of Blues. My thanks to all who participated in squad sessions and represented the Hall at whatever level and best wishes to Tom Leman and Andy Pickford who take over as League Captain and Secretary respectively . My thanks also to the staff at Iffley Road for use of their facilities and to Reg, the Barman, for providing isotonic refreshment. J .R.P.

THE HILARIANS Captain: JAMES PETERKIN FIXTURES were hard to come by this season, the Hilarians' unbeaten reputation spreading across the University. This record was maintained in a true festival of flamboyant, flowing rugby against Hertford College. The new team members warmed to the no-training policy and the enthusiastic Japanese crowd. Robert de Rhennes acquitted himself admirably in his inaugural rugby match, deftly fielding a torrent of high balls put up by his own team. The second half saw the Hilarians making inroads down the flanks, Hertford completely fooled by the elusive running of winger James Simon who finished the match with a scorching touchline try. After a successful season the team are greatly looking forward to entering next year's Second XV Cuppers and are enquiring about an appearance in the Hong Kong Youth Tournament. Many thanks to the players and to Reg who was, as always, an integral part of the squad. J.R.P.

THE ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL CLUB Captains: P. S. MATTHEWS, S. A. L. FORD (Cuppers) Secretary: J. P. LEESE THE SEASON, as a whole, for Teddy Hall's three football teams, was one filled with variety and much entertainment. The First XI finished as champions of the Second Division, and we are looking forward to playing on our rightful stage next year. This plain statement disguises the fact that we started with many problems, our suitably nicknamed 'sieve' defence being the greatest, which meant that we gave Merton their only victory of the season. Gradually those difficulties were solved and our results improved . Pete Othen and Gari Harris formed a sound partnership in defence, alongside next year's Captain, Hugh Adlington, and Secretary, Richard Owen. Stu Ford arrived from the University squad to add to our midfield and after the Varsity match our two extremely skilful Blues, Danny Westgate and Mickey Evans , sharpened our attack. We then finished the season sensationally. In our last two games we played the strongest two sides, demolishing Jesus 6-0, helped by a hattrick from Steven Mann, and beating Queen's 2-1, to give us the championship.

The Cuppers competition saw us lose to Keble 4-3 in the second round, a disappointing result for what appeared to be a strong team. Having lost most of the previous year's impressive squad, the Second XI, under their hardworking Captain, Duncan Holden, was faced with a difficult task. Relegation could not be avoided, despite beating the League leaders and a controversial decision to cancel our last game against Balliol (already demoted). In Cuppers the Seconds progressed, after a replay, to the second round, eventually losing to Exeter 4-3. Special mention must be made of Kev Johnson, whose contribution as sweeper was outstanding. Tim Wingfield had the pleasure this year of captaining the Third XI. As always they had an enjoyable season, with over 40 players representing the Hall, and with some very competent performances from certain individuals, including the strong tackling of the Captain and excellent finishing from Lewis Coghlin. In Trinity Term we also entered two teams in the Five-a-Side Cuppers competition, but despite having two talented teams we could not defend our title won last year. On the lighter side of our season we entertained three touring sides: St Clare's, Cambridge, an Old Boys XI and, most impressively, a Martin Peters XI (a boyhood hero of a certain member of the Third XI). Finally could I thank everyone who has played for any of the College teams, especially Jez Leese, the Secretary, who did most of my job for me. It was a great season, with all the teams giving llOOJo. Good luck for next season, Hugh. P.S.M.

THE CRICKET CLUB

Captain: M. I. RIAZ Vice-Captain: J. C. MILLIGAN Secretary: D. M. HOLDEN DESPITE HAVING a very strong side, the Hall had a disaster in Cuppers. We defeated Exeter convincingly in the second round and then couldn't hold St John's down to our first innings total of 220. We were lucky to have some very talented players this year. First years Luke Jones, James Carr and Tom Leman all scored hundreds, and there were a number of fifties from Andy Latrobe and Zahid Nawaz. Jan Milligan, Dave Halliwell and Mike Bartlett led a very competent bowling attack. At the University level, nine men from the Hall played at some point for the Authentics and four of those also played in Blues matches. The team is virtually unchanged next year and is, hopefully, going to do much better in Dave Sandiford's capable hands. Thanks purely toLucinda Sibson's enthusiasm, ladies' cricket has really taken off. The ladies thrashed almost all the teams they played, with Alex Cookson scoring most of their runs. Mohini Sarda is next year's Captain. M.I.R.

THE HOCKEY CLUB

Captain: J. C. MILLIGAN Secretary: D. STEWART THE SEASON STARTED on an encouraging note when we defeated Trinity 10-0 in the first round of Cuppers. However, what should have been an extremely competent team failed to match this performance, losing to a strong St Catherine's team for the second year running in the second round.

The League team, promoted and demoted in successive years, returned to the top flight of college hockey with a string of good performances. The emergence of Mike Bartlett as a top class player and the consistent goal scoring of Mark Jordan secured our promotion with a 4-0 win over Exeter. Further success for the club as a whole was achieved when the mixed side won Cuppers. After a squad of twenty players had seen us through the preliminary rounds, a final team, including three Blues, Heather Watson, Kate Nustedt and Alex Cookson, beat Magdalen 3-2 in the second period of extra time in the final. As we are losing many players this year, a good influx is needed to maintain the high standard of Hall hockey, although Mike Chandler and I an Murphy, next year's Captain and Secretary respectively, both turned out to be very competent players. Finally, congratulations to Dave Waring and Dave Neal in representing Oxford in this year's Varsity Match. J .C.M.

THE LADIES HOCKEY CLUB

Captain: TrNA GIBSON

Secretary: MARY BROMFIELD

THE WOMEN'S FIRST XI fielded yet another strong side this year, reflecting the depth of talent within College for competitive female sport. We played in the Cuppers competition and having sailed through our division easily, with more points than the winners of the other divisions, we were destined to meet Jesus College in the semi-final. Having beaten them the previous week at mixed hockey we were perhaps not prepared for their dedication and we were defeated 3-1. This was most certainly a disappointment, but now armed with the new squared hockey shirts I am confident that the girls will finally win Cuppers next year. We continued to play well in the League and finished up in second place of the First Division. I would like to thank Mary for her organizational ability and Dick, the groundsman , for his unflinching support. T .G.

THE ATHLETICS CLUB

Captains: KEN STIRRAT, HALCYON WILLS THE MEN OF THE HALL continued to display their dominance over the other colleges by turning out an unbeatable team for both the heats and finals of Cuppers. Our record-winning margin of last year was narrowed somewhat, as we lost a couple of our star performers, but the Hall's strength and depth shone through. The victory was indeed a team performance, with rugby players, rowers, footballers and ballroom dancers turning out to boost the athletes' numbers. Special mention must go to Marcus Browning who performed excellently in the sprints, jumps, throws and relays , and to Ken Stirrat who polished off the 1500m, the 3000m and the 2000m steeplechase. A number of Hall athletes competed at University level. Dave Stewart (400m hurdles), Stewart Martin (1500m) and James Carr (sprints and long jump) competed for the Second Team against Cambridge, whilst Marcus Browning (long jump, sprints) and Ken Stirrat (steeplechase) competed for the First Team and both managed to gain Blues standards in their respective events. A rather depleted team went forth from the Hall this Trinity Term to compete in the Women's Cuppers athletics match. With only five competitors, covering ten

events, the Hall managed 'to produce some quite creditable performances. Mary Bromfield and Nat Hugh both gained second place in their lOOm heats. Mary also ran a {ast 200m, while Nat competed as a B-string long jumper. Anna Briffert ran well in a very exciting 800m race, while Melisa Holden came second in the B-string in her first ever discus competition. Halcyon Wills gained first place in the javelin, second in the long jump, discus and shot, and third in the high jump. In all it was a good day. Although the overall score was low due to lack of team members, the enthusiasm for the match was high. I have every hope in an enthusiastic team next year and I wish Mary Bromfield every success as Women's Captain. At University level, Halcyon Wills finally achieved Full Blue standard in the long jump to add to this and last year's javelin Blues. She also broke the Varsity Match javelin record which had stood since 1982 at 38m and now stands at 41.18m. K.S., H.N .W.

THE CROSS COUNTRY CLUB

Captains: STEW ART MARTIN, ALICE LAWSON DESPITE THE LOSS of a number of key runners from last year's team, the Hall Cross Country Club remained a dominant force in college races, retaining Cuppers and winning the collegiate trophy in the Teddy Hall Relays. Success in the last year has created an interest in running, best shown by the numerous teams which the Hall entered for the Teddy Hall Relays. This is an event in part organized by members of the College which, this year, attracted a record number of entries and almost one thousand competitors from universities and polytechnics all over the country. The current strength of Hall cross country showed as our top squad of four held its own against this competition. Affectionately known as 'Cap'n Ken' because of his popular captaincy of the University team, Kenny Stirrat was the leading Hall athlete of the year, seventh in Cuppers ahead of Stewart Martin, our old stalwart Tony Rossiter, Ronan Breen and Sean Cochrane. The last of these also competed in the London Marathon in the creditable time of 3 hrs. 20 mins. With the majority of the athletes still in the lower years, the prospects for continued success iri this field must be good. The ladies' cross country team this year produced a creditable result, coming second in the League in Hilary Term, whilst the annual Teddy Hall Relays once again met with a large response of both runners and rowers alike. Thanks to all who ran. S.M., A.V .L.

THE SQUASH CLUB

Captain: DUNCAN HOLDEN THIS YEAR'S FIRST TEAM proved to be a committed squad that remained almost unchanged throughout the season. Veterans Gari Harris and Duncan Holden were joined by newcomers Andy Fogarty and Anton Chang, while Jason Wilkins battled especially hard without complaint at the top string, frequently against University-standard opposition. Unfortunately, a series of narrow defeats led to relegation from Division Two in Michaelmas Term. However, Hilary saw a better reward for the team's efforts with a respectable mid-table position being attained

in the lower division. At the same time, St Peter's were beaten in the first round of Cuppers, before elimination came at the hands of Brasenose, the second seeds. The second team once again flourished under the admirable captaincy of Andy Laws, with the team holding its position in Division Five in both terms. The large number of people who represented the Hall during the season reflects the widespread participation in college squash at all levels of ability. This continued popularity, combined with the added experience of the four first team players surviving for next year, leaves the new Captain, Aktar Somalya, with a sound platform from which to progress next Michaelmas. J.D.H.

THE TENNIS CLUB

Captains: LEON FERERA, LETITIA ADU-AMPONA DESPITE SHOWING real potential in trials and practices at the start of term, this year's first team managed only one victory, a walkover against Christ Church. Paradoxically we produced our best performances against some of our stronger opponents, namely Brasenose, who counted four Penguins in their team and who went on to win Cuppers, and Oriel who had two Penguins in their team . Against teams such as Keble (who defeated us in Cuppers) and St Catherine's, neither of whom should have beaten us, we produced poor performances. The only truly resounding defeat we suffered was against Worcester. The result was a disappointing term for a team which should have had a higher success rate. Hamish McCallum and Leon Ferera shared first and second places; Martin Rynja, the steadiest player in the team, and Raviv Surpin alternated between third and fourth, and the fifth and sixth spots in the team were filled by Jim Rudd, Aktar Somalya and Richard Owen . The second team fared slightly better, managing one victory and a draw. This was a very enthusiastic team, captained by Steve Whittington. Its other members were Chris Watts, Simon Atkinson, Stewart Borrie, Kynan Massey, Dave Neale (who partnered each other in doubles and were not defeated throughout the term). Hamish McCallum and and Martin Rynja have agreed to captain the club next year. The ladies tennis team proved to be a force to be reckoned with this year, with the new recruits from the first year, namely Georgia Griffiths , Catrina Holme, Grania Baird and Tina Coast, buoying up the ranks remarkably . Our record was one of great success, with the team making it to the Cuppers finals after not losing a match for the first seven weeks of term. Alas, however, we met our match in the finals against Somerville whose team had an outstanding contingent of Blues players (and we did not have one). Tina Gibson and Karen Howard (from the second year) proved to be an unbeatable first couple until Karen Howard suffered a serious injury resulting in a leg in plaster for the last two weeks of term and Rhian Jones stepped in to save us. A special mention must also go to Tory Cable- a visiting American student in the University- who played for the team in various matches. I would like to take this opportunity to wish my successor, Tina Coast, the best of luck next year. St Edmund Hall ladies team has proved a serious contender for the Cuppers competition, reaching the semi-finals last year (1989 season) and the finals this year (1990 season). Let us hope that the trend continues, with an overall victory next year. L.F. L.A-A.

THE BADMINTON CLUB

Captains: NEIL STINSON, ALICE LAWSON THE BADMINTON CLUB suffered this year from a combination of losing past stars and only gaining one from the first year. Although the first match of the season was won convincingly, after that the team lost to superior teams and eventually finished low in the Second Division. For playing in the League I would like to thank Phi! Dominy, Alice Lawson and Richard Freeman. Cuppers, however, was a much more successful experience. The addition of a University player, Dan McCallum, and Paul Billyard, produced a much stronger team. As a result of this we sailed into the semi-finals where we met a very strong New College team. The match was played at a slow pace, and as a result it had to be postponed until the next day, with New College leading 4-3 . Needing the last two games to get to the final, a fine win by Peter Schultze and myself set up a deciding game, with Paul Billyard and a Belgian international playing for the Hall. Could we lose? I'm afraid so, and New College went on to win the final. However, there's always next year. Thanks go to Andy Harrison and Mark Snelling for playing in both the League and Cuppers. The women's team once again had a very successful season, narrowly losing their top position in the First Division on points to Christ Church and reaching the semi-final of Cuppers. Many thanks to the enthusiastic and reliable George Griffiths and Alex Musson, also Tina Coast for her support. Teddy Hall was also represented at University level, with Jo Howat and Alice Lawson being selected to play in the Varsity Match. N.S., A.V.L.

THE SWIMMING CLUB

Captain: ALICE LA WSON THE LARGEST TURNOUT for some time ensured a successful fourth position in Cuppers this year. Particularly noteworthy was the performance of David Doran who won the butterfly final and a place in the breaststroke final. Also successful were the men's and women's freestyle and individual medley teams, achieving creditable positions in the finals. Congratulations and thanks to all who swam. A.V.L.

THE NETBALL CLUB

Captain: RHIAN JONES THE NETBALL CLUB continued with great enthusiasm and enjoyment this season. With so many first years interested, we were able to form a second team, which gained an admirable position in the Third Division. Our first team continued to play in the First Division, a great achievement considering the improved standard of the other teams. In Cuppers we were defeated in the quarter-finals. During the season we acquired sweatshirts and bibs. Thanks to all those who played this season, and good luck to Anna Briffett and Natalie Hugh, who have taken over the captaincy. R.M.J.

THE BALLROOM DANCING CLUB

Captain: MARK Fox OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS the Hall has built up a formidable reputation in ballroom dancing, having won the Cuppers competition since it first began in 1986. Once again, members of the JCR, the MCR and the SCR took to the floor to form three full teams of waltzers, quicksteppers, jivers and cha-cha-chaists to defend the shield against very strong opposition . At the heart of the team we could boast three members of the Blues squad- Winnie Foo, A dam Rabin and David Stewart- that crushed all before them this year, crowning an (almost) unbeaten season with a magnificent victory over Cambridge. The other couples all came from the massed ranks of talented beginners who crowd the Wolfson Hall for the absolute beginners classes. After a great evening's entertainment, the Teddy Hall 'A' team failed to clinch the title despite winning the cha and jive sections, just losing to Keble. However the 'B' and 'C' teams more than made up for this, showing our great strength in depth by coming in fifth and seventh respectively, trouncing many first teams in the process. Our most spectacular success of an amazing competition was getting all three cha couples into the final six, which just goes to show the Hall may be- briefly- down, but it is still wiggling its hips. Special thanks must go to the Principal as Senior Member of the OUBDC, Dr Phelps for providing much needed funds from Amalgamated Clubs, and Bruce Richardson our invaluable coach. We shall be back next year. M.F. THE BRIDGE CLUB

Captain: NATHAN READ THE BRIDGE CLUB has had a very successful year thanks to the enthusiasm of a number of College members, including many novices. I entered three teams in Cuppers and all performed meritoriously. The third team was captained by M. Whittaker and despite being comprised almost entirely of the novitiate, reached the second round of the competition. The second team, captained by Ben Miller, reached the last sixteen, whilst the first team reached the quarterfinals, thus ensuring the College a seeding next year. Three teams are at present playing in the new University Bridge League and my thanks are extended to Greg Mott for his help in organizing these teams throughout the year. I am in the process of obtaining playing equipment (cards and boards etc.) through Amalgamated Clubs and I hope that this will put the Club on a more permanent footing so that our successes of the past year can be replicated and surpassed.

THE DARTS CLUB

Captain:

]ONATHAN

WILLIAMS

THE DARTS CLUB has had a good year despite losing the main body of its strength through graduation in 1989. With an influx of new talent, notably Mike Lemon who represented the University in the Varsity Match, the consistency and confidence of the team continued to develop through the year. In the League, Teddy Hall got off to a shaky start, losing to a sub-standard

St Anne's team. However lessons were soon learnt and the first term saw plucky victories against Jesus, Wolfson and Lincoln and we quickly learnt to exploit the home advantage of the Well. The Hall also scored important victories at Oriel, Univ and Lincoln, with a memorable draw at St John's who were eventually second in the League. Overall we climbed two places in the First Division to finish a creditable fourth. The summer term saw a real underdogs Cup run for us when we won convincingly in the quarter-finals versus a full strength St John's. Unfortunately we were not so lucky in the semi-finals at Pembroke where we lost by the narrowest possible margin, effectively a sudden death on doubles after we had fought back from 6-3 down . A friendly rivalry has now developed between Pembroke and the Hall and it only remains for us to prove ourselves next year if we build on this year's successes. The team survives almost unaltered next year, led by our University player, Mike Lemon. Other promising hopes are Paul Lacey, Tom Leman and Ronan Breen. I could not fail to mention the steady middle order of the team, Marcus Browning, Martin Harris and Giles Rogers , and must thank the countless others who have filled the dreaded board eight spot, usually at short notice. Thanks also to our supporters; I hope you will stay with us next year. I wish my successor the best of luck; the only way is up. J.W. THE JOHN OLDHAM SOCIETY

Representative: D. DEVETTA FOLLOWING THE SUCCESS of Anoui!h's Becket last year, the John Oldham Society has become yet more active. A small committee has been reinstated to facilitate an objective support for diverse performances. Michaelmas Term 1989 saw an ambitious cabaret at the Burton Taylor Theatre, appropriately titled Upstairs at Liz n Dick's, encouraging a recent plethora of talented SEH comedians. This was enthusiastically received, as was our Hilary Term production of A Streetcar Named Desire, staged in the Old Dining Hall. This is an excellent venue, despite the difficulties it poses. Our resident lighting expert overcame all design problems and managed to create a downbeat, claustrophobic atmosphere so vital to this Deep South tragedy. The direction, too, was meticulously controlled, building perfectly to the final tear-jerking scene. It would seem that the University viewed the play in a similar light, with all performances sold out and at some performances the box office turned several people away. Trinity Term brought Miss Julie, a less predominantly SEH production, but with a Hall member taking the lead . Strindberg's brand of tragedy, similar to Ibsen's, perfectly balanced this year's diversity of drama encouraged by the society. D.D. THE CHAPEL CHOIR

Organ Scholar: PETER LYNAN UNFORTUNATELY, over the past couple of years the Chapel Choir has ceased to exist, and so on my arrival as Organ Scholar I immediately started recruiting. At the beginning of Hilary Term we formed a small choir of male voices (ladies, where are you?) and since then have been building up our repertoire, whilst maintaining the weekly services.

This year's Lenten service of Music and Readings included a performance of the second movement of J. S. Bach's Double Violin Concerto, and in Trinity Term we welcomed a choir from Liverpool who sang Byrd's 3-part Mass. This was enjoyed by us all and we hope that it will be the first of many such visits. I should like to thank Dr Collins, Mr Owen Rees and the Chaplain for their help and encouragement; also James Burn, Patrick Leman, Richard Rednall and Chris Sawyer for their hard work and support in what has been quite a difficult period. I now feel that we have formed the firm foundations of the Choir. We look forwards to new members joining us in the new year, and to going from strength to strength in re-establishing a musical tradition in our Chapel. P.R.L. THE MUSIC SOCIETY Representative: JAMES BURN DESPITE A CERTAIN AMOUNT of lethargy from members of the JCR, St Edmund Hall's musical life this year has been fairly busy. In the Hall itself, the Music Society (President: Chris Dawson) has run a successful series of concerts every term in which several members took part. Though these concerts mainly featured pianists and the Organ Scholar (Peter Lynan), a concert was also given by the Sine Nota String Quartet, one of whose violinists is SEH's Mike Chandler. The Music Society also organized two large-scale evening concerts in the Wolfson Hall . The first of these featured the Hall's Anthony Chalmers playing piano in a concert of oboe and piano works, whilst the second was given by a string quartet which included the talents of two Old Members, David Hughes and John Palmer. These concerts were both much appreciated by their audiences although it must be admitted that the SCR contingent greatly outnumbered those members of the JCR present. Outside College, Paul Carey organized an ambitious programme at the Sheldonian Theatre, performing Beethoven's 'Emperor' Concerto and Mozart's Requiem. Several members of the Hall took part in this latter. Next year the Music Society will undoubtedly build upon this foundation and it is hoped that more enthusiasm will be mustered amongst junior members. Our thanks go to to all those who performed or supported the various concerts and, above all, to Dr Collins for his continued efforts in the face of apathy. J.B . THE CHRISTIAN UNION Representatives: TIM DIEPPE, PAUL THW AITE, ROSIE WADE THE CHRISTIAN UNION continues to flourish, providing a focus for Christians in College who wish to meet and worship together. The emphasis is firmly on growing in our relationship with God; telling others about the claims of Jesus Christ remains the first aim of the Union. To this end, an open meeting, organized in Michaelmas Term, attracted much interest. A splendid buffet meal, followed by a talk from John Peters (Wycliffe Hall), was well received despite the unexpected fire alarm and evacuation half-way through the evening. There has been an increasing involvement with central OICCU events and congratulations must go to Tim for his appointment to the Central Outreach Committee. Chapel-C.U. relations have improved markedly over the last year. The Chapel now provides a regular home for C.U. meetings and both a recent

baptism and confirmation were well attended by members of all denominations. The Chaplain, Chris Irvine, has proved a great friend and supporter of the Christian Union. He will be missed by many as he leaves for a full-time job with St Stephen's House. But we look forward to a close liaison with the new Chaplain in September. Mark Fox and Robert Barber took over the reins of power in Trinity Term. Dan Brockington is the International Rep. They have thrown themselves into their new roles with enthusiasm and flare. There is a difficult year ahead and much prayer will be needed for the triennial OICCU Mission in Hilary Term. T.D., P.T., R.W.

THE WOMEN'S GROUP

Women's Officer: ELISE CAMPBELL THE ST EDMUND HALL Women's Group was formed four years ago due to a feeling of unease about the sexist attitudes in the University and outside. Informal discussion meetings are held weekly, occasionally with an outside speaker, on a range of topics from eating disorders to female stereotyping. All women are always welcome regardless of political persuasion or views on feminism. The group has been well attended this year and has enjoyed invitations from other colleges' women's groups to joint meetings. Although not strictly related to the group, a lunch for women is organized annually to help College women, particularly those in the first year, to meet each other. E.C. THE AULARIAN BOOKSHELF 1989/1990 THE IMPRESSIVE NUMBER of publications by Aularians has brought about a need to expand the Aularian Bookshelf by another unit right across the original shelves, and this has been done so well that it does not intrude aesthetically in any way. This means that there is now space for future Aularian books, as well as those which have been given during this past year, and which are acknowledged here with many thanks: H. Antor (1981)

THE REVIEW

first and only time I overlooked St Edmund Hall was in 1954 when, as a nervous examinee, I confidently approached the most imposing gateway in Queen's Lane- and entered the churchyard of St Peter-in-the-East. On my retreat I reluctantly acknowledged that the modest hole in the wall I had unthinkingly passed by must be the entrance to the Hall. My romantic visions crumbled, but only momentarily, for when I entered that perfect miniature quadrangle with its central well, Caroline Chapel and, at that time, a venerable wistaria covering most of the North wall, I immediately fell in love. It was a fierce and proprietary love which thereafter rejoiced that the world outside knew little of these hidden beauties. It seemed a very personal and exclusive secret garden. Dr J. N. D. Kelly was then the Principal and had been associated with the Hall for nearly twenty years. Now, in his preface he writes: 'This small book is in a sense a love-child, the fruit of more than half a century's affectionate relationship between its subject and myself.' It is a small book, of 150 pages, but, like its subject, it is multum in parvo. Up to the 1930s the Hall had a distinct clerical bias as befitted an establishment where frugality, economy, and plain living were both a necessity and a preferred way of life. The early Halls were lodging-houses for poor students, small businesses run by local clerics which would be passed on to others when the Principals left for other benefices. Over the years they developed into small academical Halls. The earliest mention of St Edmund Hall is in the rentals of Oseney Abbey in 1317118. From these and other scattered scraps of information Dr Kelly has constructed a scholarly and extremely readable account of Hall life in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. His account of the early Hall, occupying a site just one quarter of the size of the present quadrangle, and the slow accretion of adjacent properties is so fascinating and precisely detailed that one could pace out today their mediaeval limits to the nearest foot. Dr Kelly uses the lives of the Principals and some outstanding Vice-Principals as the basis of a history which is far more exciting and precarious than I had imagined. St Edmund Hall was always a centre of religious enthusiasm. In the early fifteenth century it was a stronghold of Lollardy. One Principal was burnt at the stake for following the teachings of John Wyclif and another, to escape religious persecution, fled to Prague where he became a follower of John Hus. This deep and godly Protestantism flows like an underground stream through the history of the Hall. In 1768 six students were expelled for dabbling in Methodism, an event which moved Dr Johnson to make his celebrated remark: 'Sir, I believe they might be good beings; but they were not fit to be in the University of Oxford. A cow is a very good animal in the field, but we turn her out of a garden.' Lest it might be thought that the years were an unbroken stream of earnest, Evangelical dissent, Dr Kelly recounts the history of the Principal who, while his Vice Principal, the saintly H. P. Liddon, wrestled earnestly for the souls of his students, grappled in a more corporeal manner with student problems. This contrary Principal fled to France, resigned 'for personal reasons', changed his name and died many years later, a Roman Catholic priest, in the odour of respectability. In 1877, a statutory commission merged the three other remaining Mediaeval Halls with colleges but permitted the continued existence of St Edmund Hall with the proviso that when the principalship fell vacant the Hall should become an annexe of Queen's College which had long been in a tutelary relationship with it. The then Principal, Edward Moore, fought and fought and fought again to THE

save the Hall he loved . He finally resigned in 1913 when he had secured the recision of the commissioners ' statute and the adoption of a new one which gave the Hall a greater degree of autonomy. In the 1930s James Agate called Teddy Hall 'the green room of Oxford' and it kept that theatrical pre-eminence for at least thirty years. It was also an embarrassingly successful sporting college. In the late 50s a friend of mine asserted that if he went into the quadrangle at 5 p.m. on any day of the week and shouted to the first person he saw 'What was the score?' he would always receive a prompt and detailed reply. Dr Kelly though justifiably proud of its theatrical and sporting victories would, at that time, benevolently deprecate the lack of interest shown by the University in the Hall's not inconsiderable academic attainments. The last chapters of this entertaining work deal with the physical expansion and financial consolidation of the Hall and its incorporation as a full college. Dr Kelly gives due credit both to the generous grants and benefactions the Hall received and to the distinguished band of fellows who under his own tireless leadership made the Hall work, in both senses of the word. I wish I could have read this book as an undergraduate. I would then have realized how seldom in its history the University could have by-passed or overlooked St Edmund Hall and how by a combination of good management , good luck, sheer cussedness, and mere longevity the Hall has lived to reap the benefits of two opposing worlds. It is both a thriving, modern, and independent college and the sole surviving Mediaeval Hall in Oxford: its new buildings and expansion have made it one of the larger colleges but despite those buildings it remains a hidden gem still nestling on the same site on which it has stood for nearly seven hundred years . Roland MacLeod POEMS ON THE STATIONS OF THE CROSS DEREK BOURNE-JONES, Behold the Man: A Poetic Sequence in Contemplation of the Stations of the Cross (Downlander Publishing, 1990), Preface by Rev. David Jasper, editor, 'Literature and Theology', ÂŁ2.95 net. How can the Passion of Jesus be represented in Christian art and literature? The earliest Christians, in the paintings in the catacombs, avoided depicting the cruel and servile death inflicted on their Lord: they preferred to show Daniel, Noah, Jonah, Lazarus, symbols of the salvation of God rescuing these who have loved his Son. At the other extreme comes the brutal naturalism of Grunewald, the almost unbearable depiction of torture- as Huysmans said 'the God of the morgue'. Between avoidance and savage realism there have been an infinite variety of indirect modes of portraying the suffering- etched in sadness on the faces of the Virgin Mary and the bystanders, seen in the tears of the attendant angels. Calvary can thus become a scene of beauty tinged with sadness, as in some Renaissance paintings, or a scene of terrible despair- as the light in the darkness strikes the dead and dead-white face of Mary in Rembrandt's 'Descent from the Cross'. But go beyond the circle of those who cared, and- in a sense- this can lead to the most sombre crucifixion scenes of all. In Breughel, the coarse faces are hostile- or totally indifferent. In Stanley Spencer's 'Christ carries the cross through Cookham village' a peculiarly different sense of unease comes over us : they all care, but life goes on and no one can help. In a remarkable series of short poems on the 14 stations of the cross, Derek Bourne-Jones has managed to write an emotive account of the Passion which, at

first sight, is simple and uncomplicated. In fact, he uses sophisticated verse forms, behind which he calls on the many devices used by artists for so many centuries to try to observe what happened and register the range of emotions which have stirred Christians. The only thing lacking is Renaissance beauty- the scene is always stark. There are the terrors of Grunewald in the sonnet for the 11th Station. 'They have no need of force'. It is hard to read and face its cruelty- but it ends 'This is the man whose tortured image we Soften that it may less offend the eye, Making His sacrifice of lesser worth.' The 13th Station 'Jesus is taken down from the Cross' is Rembrandt-the dead Christ seen through the eyes of his mother. She has no hope: 'It is not given us to see His spirit in its purity.'

The crowd (3rd station, 8th and 12th) have hints of Spencer ('nor can we, moved by tardy clemency' and 'no single man who had a part .. .') but it is chiefly Breughel: 'The gaping crowd grew restive at delay, Some taunt the victim others understand: He seemed about to die upon the way' and 'What morbid impulse makes these women wait.' The whole composition is grim and moving. There is no direct appeal to us- a mirror of suffering is held to our eyes and we must form conclusions as we will. But at the very end, there is a specific statement of the Christian's duty: 'And with the empty tomb, discovery That we are called, redeemed and penitent, To bear through space and time from Calvary This mortal relic of divinity.' These are poems particularly suited for reading aloud and for use in special forms of liturgical worship- they were originally presented in a Passiontide service of words and music in the parish church of Eastbourne.

These accounts will be submitted for the approval of the members at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting on 8 January 1991.

A Report from Edmund Bear of Hall mementos have been particularly good with Edmund Bear proving to be a most popular leader- now available in a larger size.

BURSARY SALES

Ties The designs of ties have been updated to meet suggestions of old members, and are now available in silk, together with a black silk bow tie with the red cross design. Christmas Cards I do hope to encourage old members to support the annual Christmas card- by making a permanent order through the Bursary for say 20 or 50 cards a year to be invoiced on arrival each Autumn. Every year a different print of the College will be offered, thus providing a selection of different formal cards over about 10 years. Mugs I am particularly conscious of the unacceptable delay there has been in the production of the porcelain mugs; a coat of arms that derives from the magazine cover is being used and I hope deliveries will start soon. New Items In the pipeline are a set of maroon and gold bordered table mats presenting prints of the Hall with matching coasters and, in the same livery, Waddington's Bridge Packs. During the next few months you will receive information about a fine signed reproduction of the painting of the quadrangle by John Piper C.H., which hangs in the Senior Common Room. This very small print-run is aimed at the serious collector and, it is to be hoped, will produce valuable funds for the Appeal. Thank you so much for your response to our efforts, it produces a considerable income all of which goes to Hall funds.
