Principal's Report Dame Kathleen Kenyon, Principal of the College from 1962-73, died on 24 August 1978, mourned by the College and all who knew her ; a Memorial Service was held in the University Church on 10 November and the address is printed on p. 35 of the Chronicle. Miss Betty Kemp, Tutor in Modern History since 1946, retired early, at the end of September 1978. Her influence on her pupils had made her already distinguished scholarly reputation as a major eighteenth-century historian yet more widespread and effective. It is hard for her colleagues to realize that she is no longer an official Fellow of the College, but she was elected unanimously an Emeritus Fellow of the College in Michaelmas Tenn 1978, and we look forward to her presence and support for many years to come. During the year Miss Morgan and Mrs. Northover resigned their posts. The College welcomed its first Professorial Fellow for many years, Mrs. R. Posner, Professor of Romance Languages; Mr. H. C. G. Matthew was appointed Tutorial Fellow in History. Other appointments were : Lecturer in English, Mr. A. N. Wilson; Retaining Fee Lecturers, Mr. Harris and Miss Meehan, Politics, Miss Richardson, Classical Archaeology, and Miss Chadwick, Ancient Philosophy (for 2 terms); Sub-Librarian, Miss Quare ; Nuffield Medical Research Fellow, Miss Darbre ; Elizabeth Wordsworth Junior Research Fellow, Miss A. M. White; Mrs. J. B. Turner (French) of Whitby Mixed Comprehensive School, was Fanny Seaton Schoolmistress Student in Trinity Term 1978. R.T.

INTRODUCTION OF THE DEGREES OF MASTER OF LETTERS AND MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY Under the provisions of a recent university statute any person who already holds the degree of B.Litt., or of B.Phil., in a subject other than Philosophy, may if he or she wishes apply to the Registrar through his or her College for the redesignation of the title of his or her degree to that of M.Litt., or M.Phil., respectively. On receipt of such an application the Registrar will issue a revised degree certificate and amend his records accordingly. In order that information about the possibility of redesignation may reach as many graduates as possible, Colleges have been asked to give as much publicity to it as they can, particularly in college magazines or newsletters.

The Junior Common Room, 1978 Over the past year J.C.R. meetings have been unusually well attended and a wide range of matters have been discussed, ranging from the college charges to buying a mallet for the J.C.R. bar! As usual, politics have played a minor part in the life of the J.C.R. Over the last year the J.C.R. has been redecorated and the proposal for a college shop has been discussed at length and plans are going ahead. Great interest has also been shown by the J.C.R. in the conversion of the former Buttery to a multi-purpose room for use by the S.C.R. and M.C.R. as well as the J.C.R. St. Hugh's has remained as socially active as always, with no less than three Freshers' Parties and an extremely successful summer ball with Lincoln College at the end of Eights Week, which was greatly enjoyed by all those who attended. Plans are at present going ahead for a summer ball in 1979 with Keble College. St. Hugh's has always had a reputation for being active in many university societies and this year has been no exception. Particularly encouraging, also, has been the success of the St. Hugh's Drama Group in the Cuppers Competition in which they came third, with a highly praised production of At the Hawk's Well. The three Open Days held last year proved particularly successful, one for Headmasters and Headmistresses in the Hilary Term and two for prospective undergraduates. The success of these Open Days was shown by the many letters of thanks and appreciation received afterwards, and by the remarks on the relaxed and happy atmosphere prevalent in the College. GILLIAN OBLITAS (President) Games Report. St. Hugh's J.C.R. is well known for its active participation in some form of sport throughout the University. This widespread participation is perhaps the essence of true sport although there have been many who have excelled. The rowing team have shown themselves particularly worthy of their new boat, bought with the kind help of the S.C.R. In it they won Christ Church Regatta last year and only narrowly missed going head of their division in the Summer Eights. The swimming team have also been very successful, winning Swimming Cuppers for the second year running. The croquet team managed to get through several rounds at the Cuppers Tournament in the summer, before being beaten by our stronger male competitors. The following gained blues in the 1977-8 season: Renny Walker (Swimming), Francesca Barnes (Swimming), Elizabeth Plevin (Lacrosse), Diana Stent (Lacrosse), Sarah Lough (Lacrosse), Penny Lucas (Sailing), Suzie Heal (Rowing), Jackie McLellan (Netball), Ann Spilsbury (Rowing). GILLIAN OBLITAS

Middle Common Room The M.C.R. consists of approximately eighty-five members, thirteen of whom are new this year. Debra Jean Strawford, a Commonwealth Scholar, is amongst their number. Entering their second year are Nancy Coiner Benjamin and Laura Garwin, both Rhodes Scholars from the United States, Christine Hall, a Yates Senior Scholar from Exeter, and Elena Taylor, a Rawnsley Student from Prague. The traditional summer term garden party was held during Eights Week, complete with Pimm's and volleyball. Splendid weather, a new volleyball, and energetic friends from St. Peter's and New College kept the game going well into the evening. Friendships have sprung, as always, from the links with Queen Elizabeth House and Brasenose College. The Hulme Common Room, sandwiches from George's, and 'Gold Blend' coffee have proven an irresistible combination for the St. Hugh's student working away in the Bodleian. Several theatre trips to Stratford have already taken place; the enthusiastic response has resulted in still others being planned for the remainder of the year. Michaelmas term Guest Night was a particularly festive occasion. While the port and madeira were passed and carols sung, our Christmas tree gradually assumed a magical beauty, enjoyed by all for weeks. The M.C.R. has expanded its range of periodicals considerably and now offers, in addition to a very active chess set, other games including scrabble and backgammon. In the adjoining room our colour television continues to attract crowds for the best of the BBC. The outgoing officers of the M.C.R. committee for 1978 are Christina Cobourn, President; Meg Miller, Vice-President; Alicia Collinson, Secretary; Ita Raz/Gwyneth Hughes, Treasurer; Nancy Coiner, Social Secretary.

The Library The Library has emerged from a long period of hammering, chiselling, drilling, decorating, and polishing, not to mention rewiring and the renewal of the central heating system. We have retained the essential character of the upper library, and provided new amenities downstairs. In the upper library additional free-standing book cases, waist high, flank the central aisle. There is better lighting, a carpeted floor, and repolished woodwork. The dignity and beauty of the room are now fully revealed. Downstairs, we have the new E. P. Abraham Science Reading Room (formerly the Large Stack Room) where science, medicine and geography books, and periodicals have been grouped together. The original metal shelving has been rearranged, and painted white. Readers sit at one long oak table, on comfortable, Scandinavian oak chairs. The refurnishing of 19

this room was made possible by a munificent benefaction from the E.P.A. Cephalosporin Fund, and by a large anonymous donation. The Fulford Room now has additional bookstacks, better lighting; the Periodicals Room has been redecorated and carpeted. Two new Stack Rooms on the ground floor of the Mary Gray Allen wing house books neatly and economically. The secret is moveable bookstacks from Switzerland, which glide to and fro at a flick of the hand. Under the watchful eye of Mrs. Smart, the lawyers have retreated, with books and periodicals, to the Large Lecture Room in 82 Woodstock Road. Additional shelving, new lighting, and a carpet have transformed the room, where the newly acquired Law Reports have pride of place. The new and the old have thus been blended in the refitted Library. We still need contributions to lessen the shortfall between expenditure and the appeal fund. J. G. RUSSELL

Annual Meeting of the Association of Senior Members The fifty-third Annual Meeting of the Association of Senior Members was held in the Mordan Hall on Saturday, 2 July 1978, at 3 p.m., the President, Miss Marr, in the chair. One-hundred-and-thirty-nine members were present. The President called on the meeting to stand in memory of those members who had died during the year, including Miss Joan Sargeaunt, President of the Association, 1966-70, who had died only a few days earlier. The Minutes of 2 July 1977 were accepted and signed. There was no business arising from the Minutes. President's Report. 'Madam Principal, fellow members of the Association, your Committee has met three times since the Annual General Meeting in 1977, in November, in March, and this afternoon before this meeting, and has carried on fairly normal business. Much of it has, naturally, been concerned with plans for this Gaudy weekend. At the November meeting I reported that I and two members of the Committee, and a number of members of the Association, had attended the Memorial Service in our own Chapel to Dame Joan Evans, surely one of our most distinguished and devoted past members of the College. The Address given by the Principal at that Service, and printed in the Chronicle, revealed this in many different ways. I remember with pleasure the warm personal letter I received from Dame Joan in 1976 when I had written to convey your greetings and congratulations to her on being made a Dame. It was clear she remembered exactly who I was, and recalled how we had met by chance on holiday in the Vosges, and how she and I, and the faithful 'Nanny' had gone rowing on the lake at Girardmerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; and that was in the late 1920s! I am sure you will have been delighted that it was possible to include a photograph of Dame Joan in the Chronicle, as well as the one of the Principal. The latter I may say we had been urging her to allow us to produce for a long time! On Friday, 30 September, a most enjoyable London Sherry Party was held at the charming home of Mrs. Sarah Curtis and her husband to whom we are most grateful for making the party possible. As I have explained before, we can only continue to hold these parties if we are able to do so in the private homes of our London members. The attendance may not be one of very large numbers, 54 people came in September, but it is greatly appreciated by a number of people who cannot always attend Gaudy weekends. I may say that already we have a firm offer of a house for the Party in 1979 and are looking forward to it, so I think the future of this particular event looks assured, thanks to our kind members who live in London. I should also, in this connection, like to thank Mrs. Sheila Bradbury, who handled all the business of tickets and finance connected with the Party on behalf of the Committee. You may have noticed on your nomination papers for Officers of the Association

that we have slightly altered the wording and procedure—this is simply to bring it into line with normal university practice. As the number of members of the Association naturally increases regularly, we have given some thought to the question of the number of members who can be accommodated at a Gaudy. As you know, we have now introduced a scheme giving priority status to certain groups—those of the years up to 1930, those home from abroad, and groups of years in rotation—before opening the list to everyone else. A proposal that we should approach the Governing Body about holding a smaller Annual Gaudy was made to us, and we thought it right to put this suggestion on the Agenda (it is item 8) to find out your feelings about it. One of the Committee, Mrs. Margaret Potter, will put before you the pros and cons of this suggestion as they appear to us. At all our meetings Dr. Mary Fleet, Editor of the Chronicle, has reported to us her plans for the Chronicle and their progress. I do not think we can possibly express adequate thanks to her for the endless time, ceaseless thought, and hard work she gives to the collecting of material and all the other labours connected with its production. As I explained to the Annual General Meeting last year, it was entirely due to her persistence and hard work that a new List of Members was produced after the 1976 Gaudy. We are most grateful to her for doing this. (There are still copies of the List available, price £1.80 each, and they can be purchased at the back of this hall after the meeting.) As I finish my last report as your President and come to the end of my years working on and with your Committees since 1970, I must say how much I have enjoyed these years. They have brought me back into touch both with the College, and many members of the Association, with whom I had had little contact during my years of professional work. To all the Committee members of these years I must express my appreciation of working with them, and especially to those who have advised and supported me during my years of office as President. Above all I owe an inexpressible debt of gratitude, as you all do, to your Secretary, Mrs. Jeanette Cockshoot, for all the time, planning, and devotion she gives to our affairs. As I said last year, without her no President would dare to take office, no Committee could function, and the Association would cease to be what it means to us all. Thank you Jeanette, very much, and thank you all, too, very much.' The President then invited the Principal to speak to the meeting. The Principal began with a reference to Miss Kemp's early retirement which would be a great loss to the College. She regretted also the absence from the Gaudy of Miss Bickley and Dr. Busbridge through illness. The Principal then announced the launching of an Endowment Appeal for the College. The organizing secretary would be Mrs. Beryl Chitty, C.M.G. At present the College had no endowed fellowships. This was a major need as was also the endowment of the site. The target would be £2,000,000. A brochure would shortly be produced. The College had been advised that it should plan to raise the first £500,000 itself. It was suggested that regional meetings of members of the Association might be arranged 26

and that contact should be made with members of the College who were not members of the Association. If each member covenanted £10 per year for 10 years, it would bring the College £300,000. It would be necessary to contact influential people here and abroad. The College had the backing of the College Visitor, the Right Revd. Lord Ramsey of Canterbury. The College Report. Dr. Adam, the Governing Body Representative on the A.S.M. Committee said: 'An outstanding event in college history was the "Queen in Council's" consent to the change in the College Statutes, which was given on 21 December 1977, as a result of which we welcomed Dr. John Wilkinson (Tutor in Geography) and Dr. John Morris (Tutor in Medicine) to the Governing Body. The College became autonomous in Trinity Term 1951 and so for twenty-six years the Governing Body has been entirely feminine, but several of us go back far enough to remember the "mixed" College Councils before that time. Next year we shall also welcome Dr. Cohn Matthew to the Governing Body—he has been appointed to succeed Miss Kemp as History Tutor. Dr. Matthew has been a Research Student and Lecturer in Politics at Christ Church and since 1972 has been editor of the Gladstone Diaries, in which post he will continue. The Governing Body has also been strengthened by the election to a Professorial Fellowship at St. Hugh's of Professor Rebecca Posner. Professor Posner is the newly elected Professor of Romance Languages, formerly a Reader at York University. Dr. Philippa Darbre (Wolfson College), appointed by the University as first Nuffield Medical Research Fellow, has been appointed to a Junior Research Fellowship at St. Hugh's. Miss Alison Mary White (Somerville) has been elected to the Elizabeth Wordsworth Junior Research Fellowship—her subject is Medieval Platonism. Mrs. C. E. Richardson has been appointed to a non-stipendiary Lectureship in Classical Archaeology. `The relations of the College with schools have figured in several different forms during the year : the Oxford Colleges Admissions Office arranged a conference on "Increased opportunities for women in Oxford", 17-18 March, and seventeen guests stayed in St. Hugh's. Mrs. Butler and Mrs. Gehring, who attended, reported this as successful but, perhaps understandably, anxiety was expressed about the complexity of the Oxford admissions' procedure. On 14-15 April there was a conference between the Inner London Education Authority and the Entrance Group of Colleges to which St. Hugh's belongs. This was attended by Mrs. Warnock and Miss Cooper. The College's own conference for Headmistresses was held in the Easter vacation and was attended by forty-three heads or by their deputies. Four Open Days for schoolgirls have been held—two organized by the J.C.R. and two by the College. There have also been several privately arranged visits of schoolgirls. Through the Committee on the Relationship of the University with the Schools, the College has been asked for its views on the Schools' Council proposals for the new N(normal) and F(further) courses in Schools. Two schoolteacher studentships have been awarded: one for Hilary Term 1979 to Mr. B. Davies— head of English at Swaffham Hammonds High School, Norfolk, and for Trinity Term 1979 a Fanny Seaton Schoolmistress Studentship has been 27

awarded to Miss E. M. Waldron, Brighton and Hove VIth Form College. She also teaches English. `The generous gift to the College from the E.P.A. Cephalosporin Fund was reported last year. It has been used towards the cost of the new Science Reading Room, which you can now see. The opening by Professor Abraham on 14 February was followed by a College Dinner — a very happy occasion. In the S.C.R. (the Joan Evans Room) you may see the distinguished and sensitive portrait of Dame Joan Evans in her later years. It is the work of Mr. Peter Greenham and was generously given to the College by Mr. and Mrs. Scarisbrook, who commissioned it. `The Principal has been in demand as much as ever for engagements outside College, at three annual dinners of the Oxford Society and at three school prize-givings. We congratulate her most especially on her election to an Honorary Fellowship at L.M.H., her undergraduate College. As expressed by another of the honorands, this is the greatest gift which a college can bestow. Miss Trickett was also invited to speak at their Friday evening Centenary Gaudy Dinner. `We congratulate Miss Sweeting most heartily on her election to an ad honanem Readership in Geography. This is most gratifying to a college which has always taken a lead in Geography. Members will be interested to hear that the recently formed College Geographical Society is called after Mary Doveton, who in 1934 obtained the first First in the Geography Honour School. Characteristically Dr. Sweeting is at present tracking down limestone in the jungle of Borneo. I am sure she would wish me to give you her greetings. `We offer our hearty congratulations to Dr. Penny Chaloner (our I.B.M. Junior Research Fellow) who has been elected to an E. P. Abraham Research Fellowship in conjunction with a Research Lectureship at Christ Church, and becomes the first woman to be appointed there. Also to Miss Alleyne Street, our Lecturer in Geography, who has been given the Mrs. Patrick Ness Award for younger geographers by the Royal Geographical Society. `We say goodbye this term, coupled with our best wishes for their future success, to Dr. Chaloner; to Dr. Janet Morgan, our Lecturer in Politics, who leaves us to join the Central Policy Review Staff—happily for those of us who are radio addicts, we can look forward to hearing her many times again on discussion programmes; also to Mrs. Elizabeth Tucker, Elizabeth Wordsworth Junior Research Fellow; and to Miss Joyce Turner, our schoolmistress student, whose company this term has been a great pleasure to us. Our sympathy and best wishes for a speedy recovery go to Miss Rachel Wall, who has had to resign her Fellowship because of ill-health. `The news of the garden is more cheerful, the elms show some signs of improvement and injections are still being tried. The dead and incurably diseased trees have been felled and replanting has begun. It may be wise to start with very young trees, but some of us felt we would like something to see while we could, so, as the Custos describes it, we took the bold step of planting two semi-mature beeches, which you can see all suitably guyed up—they are reported to be doing well. 28

`My final word must be to report and reiterate the Governing Body's expression of gratitude to Miss Kemp for her distinguished service over so many years. Miss Kemp was appointed in 1946 to succeed Miss Procter as History Tutor and so is retiring after more than thirty years in that office. The College has gained much from her outstanding scholarship, her untiring devotion to her students, and her service on the Governing Body. The University also has benefited from her lecturing, examining, and participation in its administration, in particular as Assessor in the early days of that office. Her integrity and charm have enriched our communal life: we have sometimes profited from her constructive disagreement and we have constantly been cheered by her imaginative kindness. Together with our thanks we offer our very best wishes for her retirement and for all the distinguished work which I am sure she will produce in the future.' Elections. Dr. Marjorie Reeves was returned unopposed as President. Dr. Mary Fleet and Mrs. Jeanette Cockshoot would continue in the offices of Editor and Hon. Secretary. There were five candidates for the three Committee vacancies. A ballot was taken and the following were elected : Miss K. M. Hobbs, Mrs. J. Hainesworth, and Dr. S. A. Iles, to serve for four years. A vote of thanks to the retiring President and members of the Committee

was given by the Hon. Secretary. She took the opportunity to acknowledge the work of the whole Committee and particularly of those members who were retiring, Mrs. Potter, Mrs. Bradbury, and Miss Chancellor. The Secretary then thanked the retiring President, Miss Margaret Marr, who, she felt, had brought special qualities to the office and had most generously spent her time and energy. It had been a great pleasure to work with her and the Secretary hoped she would look back on her four years as President with equal pleasure. On behalf of the Association, the Secretary presented Miss Marr with a book token. Presentation to Miss Betty Kemp. Mrs. Cynthia Short said she was deeply honoured to be invited to make the presentation. As one of Miss Kemp's first pupils at St. Hugh's her earliest impression had been of her friendliness and concern for her students as individuals. The distinction of her scholarship had been of lasting benefit to those she had taught. Speaking as a member of the A.S.M., Mrs. Short recognized Miss Kemp's keen and active interest in the 'Old Girls' and the warm welcome she always gave them. On behalf of the A.S.M. she offered Miss Kemp happy wishes for her retirement, and hoped she would find time for both writing and gardening. She then made the presentation of an antique mahogany Chippendale armchair and a cheque. In reply Miss Kemp said she had been at St. Hugh's thirty-two years and thought this must be a record for History tutors. The happiest part was that she now felt she was a real Senior Member. She was delighted with the chair, and hoped that members would visit her and sit in it.

Resolution: that the Committee should discuss with the College the possibility of holding a Gaudy every year which would have to be for reduced numbers. (Proposed by Mrs. Margaret Potter, seconded by Mrs. Sarah Curtis.) Mrs. Potter explained that the Committee had been considering the question of an Annual Gaudy. Two years ago there had been a waiting list and some members had to be disappointed. The suggestion had been made that a smaller Annual Gaudy might be more convenient. Reference was made to the way in which other colleges arranged their reunions and the intervals between invitations senior members might have to expect. St. Hugh's present priority booking scheme seemed to be a practical compromise. It was important to consider the views of those on the College administrative staff who were most closely involved in Gaudy organization. Members could not expect as large a Gaudy if it were to happen each year. It was relevant to point out that in 1976 the number at dinner was 230, the most ever, and there had been a waiting list almost from the start of booking. This year, however, the number at dinner would be 206 and there was no waiting list. Mrs. Curtis spoke in support of Mrs. Potter. The President stressed that the Committee were keen to hear what members thought and an interesting discussion followed. Miss Cowderoy, speaking from the viewpoint of a former President, pointed out that a great deal of thought should be given to the part the College played in organizing gaudies, but it should also be remembered that an Annual Gaudy would increase the work of the honorary officers and committee of the A.S.M. Mrs. Bradbury had not changed her opinion that nothing would be gained by a smaller Annual Gaudy. The Resolution was formally put to the meeting and a vote taken by show of hands. The result was eleven for the Resolution and one-hundredand-twenty-four against. There was no other business and the meeting was closed.

The London Sherry Party, 1979 This will be held, by kind permission of Mrs. Margaret Potter, at 41 Woodsford Square, London W.14, on Saturday, 29 September, 6 to 8 p.m. Please see the enclosed invitation form. The Committee would be pleased to hear from any member living in London, who would be prepared to lend her house for the party which is held every other year.

Gaudy, 1978 For the past few years Gaudies have been associated with good weather but this year North Oxford wore its typical underwater green and St. Hugh's garden glowed against grey skies. On Saturday afternoon the Mordan Hall was crowded for the meeting of the Association, evidence no doubt of the interest in the suggested alteration in the pattern of future 30

Gaudies and the desire of a large number of her former pupils to take part in the presentation to Miss Kemp on her retirement. The meeting is fully reported elsewhere but it seems appropriate in this account to record the tribute of Mrs. Short (Cynthia Hill) who was one of Miss Kemp's first pupils at St. Hugh's. Cynthia spoke of Miss Kemp's exacting standards of scholarship, her academic astringency which combined with personal kindness, friendliness, and concern for her pupils have become proverbial over more than thirty years. Everyone was delighted to hear of her plans to remain for part of the time near to St. Hugh's and to 'get on with' her own work and writingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the very best sort of retirement. The theme of the Gaudy was established in this meetingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that of looking back with affection and appreciation and looking forward with confidence. Tea, delicious as ever, served in the Junior and Senior Common Rooms was an occasion for renewing old friendships and for making new ones, for exchange of personal and professional news, and for reading in the corridors and the Junior Common Room the notices which stay the same the more they change. Dinner, the elegant highlight of the occasion, was memorable for the food and its presentation and for the quality of the after-dinner speeches. The President recalled her generation, led by Vera Brittain at Somerville, coming up after the First World War, continuing the struggle for higher education for women and winning victories which became the commonplaces of the thirties. Olive Shapley spoke of arriving at St. Hugh's in 1929, a Londoner born and bred, and of the revelation by a fellow newcomer, Barbara Castle, that the area north of the Thames actually was inhabited, and by quite reasonable human beings. Miss Shapley recalled the pleasures and pains of college and university life of fifty years ago and spoke without sentimentality of the enduring nature of the friendships formed at St. Hugh's, on one occasion for her, renewed half a world away on a Tibetan mountainside. It would be misleading, however, to give the impression that the speeches were dominated by pleasant nostalgia. Recollection in tranquillity is one of the features of a Gaudy but 1978 was remarkable for looking to the future. Beryl Chitty, after a distinguished career in the Foreign Service, has returned to St. Hugh's to organize the appeal for benefactions. Listening to her witty and allusive speech her audience was in no doubt that if she could not persuade wealthy foundations in the United States to be generous, no one could. The Principal, after speaking movingly of Miss Kemp and her services to scholarship and to college life, the antithesis of Belloc's 'remote and ineffectual don', defended the decision to make an appeal for ÂŁ2 million at this time. The vision of Miss Moberly in starting the Main Building in 1914 should surely have its counterpart in the late 1970s when more than ever it is necessary for the college not merely to survive but to develop and expand. The evening ended with numerous private gatherings and was followed on Sunday morning by much appreciated 'At Homes' in the rooms of the Principal and Fellows. This easy, friendly hospitality was typical of the Gaudy and the heartfelt thanks of those who attended go to Miss Rothwell and the many others whose months of hard work and planning made the Gaudy such a brilliant success. 31

Dame Kathleen Kenyon Address delivered at the Memorial Service for Dame Kathleen Kenyon on 10 November 1978 in the University Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Oxford, by Miss Rachel Trickett, Principal of St. Hugh's Kathleen Kenyon whom we are here to celebrate today became Principal of St. Hugh's College in the autumn of 1962. At the time of her election she was known to many of us only by her formidable reputation as an archaeologist. Her weekend ordeal of being looked at by the college confirmed the picture of a powerful professional woman. But one of my colleagues and I felt we needed to see her in a different setting, and before the election we took up her invitation to drive out and meet her at her cottage in High Wycombe. This occasion remains vividly in my memoryâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; the first genuine encounter, the first private impression. In her case first impressions were not misleading. That informal figure, dressed in worn corduroy slacks and a shabby sweater, coming across the garden to greet us with an old terrier barking at her heels was the real Kathleen. 'Don't mind him, he barks because he's blind', she said, taking us into a room upside down with books and papers and sherds, and glimpses of fine furniture and ash trays everywhere, and a fire burning in the old grate. She chain-smoked as she talked to us, but not from nervousness, and within five minutes we had been drawn insensibly into the strong and simple world of her main preoccupations. Would we care to see the maps and drawings of Jericho? Her father's edition of Browning? Were we keen on gardening? Yes, she believed in Oxford and the college system, and cared very much about them and about women's education, but she cared even more for digging and, though she did not say so, it was clear she cared 35

every bit as much for dogs. Indeed, these were the two ruling passions of her immensely rich, varied, and dedicated life. Warm informality and direct honesty communicated themselves at once from her, and with them a singular strength of character so as to suggest to me then, I remember, the image of a rock against which opposition, disagreement, argument, or strategy would, in the last resort, spend themselves and dissolve like spray. I never had occasion to revise the outlines of that first sketch of Kathleen Kenyon, though ten years of living with her in college filled in the picture with many touches of a more intimate character, manifestations of her humanity, her generosity, her shrewdness, and sheer fun. Courageous and confident, she was also a woman of bold prejudice which she did not trouble to disguise, but her great gift of evoking affection and loyalty dissipated the minor irritations, oppositions, and frictions which academic life too often breeds. For, though she liked her own way, and was impatient with what she regarded as incompetence or obstructiveness, the broad strength of her character was based on natural magnanimity and a sense of fair play. She was by no means a perfect judge of character; there were some qualities of subtlety and complexity she could misinterpret or even fail to observe, but she was always generous in her estimate of others' work, and quickly moved to sympathy by any misfortune. At heart she was nobody's enemy. There can be few public figures involved in such a wide range of activities who have made more friends and found more spontaneous admirers than Kathleen. Kathleen Kenyon came to Oxford in the middle of a distinguished public career. It is no part of my task to give a detailed account of her achievements as an archaeologist; Mr. Ward Perkins has already spoken in London about her work in the field with which she will always be associated. I want to talk today about her life in Oxford and as Principal of St. Hugh's College. But it would be impossible to do this without briefly indicating the range of her previous career. When she left her own college, Somerville, in 1929 she indulged her natural love of adventure and her archaeological curiosity by joining the British Association's expedition to Zimbabwe as a photographer, where she learned from Gertrude Caton Thompson, its director, the basic techniques of field archaeology. It was this that determined her future career and convinced her that she had found what she most wanted to do. She learned yet more from the Wheelers at the excavation of Verulamium, continued with further excavations at Jewry Hall, Leicester, and the Wrekin. The fame of Jericho has tended to obscure the range of her archaeological work in England, but it was in this country that she mastered the techniques which enabled her to bring a fresh approach and a scientific method to the Near Eastern excavations. She had already dug in Samaria and become Honorary Secretary of the London Institute of Archaeology by 1935, and the interruption of the war years did not prevent her from serving as acting Director of the Institute from 1942-6. But this period revealed yet another aspect of her peculiar talent for organization and leadershipâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in her work for the Red Cross. She was made Divisional Commandant and Secretary of the Hammersmith Division in 1939, and in 1942 she became Director of 36

the Youth Department, a post which involved her in the taxing business of recruitment. Her phenomenal success in this was a public manifestation of one of the most striking aspects of her character—her innate sympathy with and attraction for young people. After the war came the great years—first with John Ward Perkins at Sabratha, and then, after her appointment in 1951 as Director of the British School of Archaeology in Jerusalem, at Jericho. Of that famous excavation I would want only to quote John Ward Perkins' own tribute: `By the remorseless application of strict excavational method, and by sheer courage and force of personality in the face of difficulties that would have daunted anybody less single-minded, she pushed the history of settled, urban life back at least a couple of thousand years beyond its accepted limit ' In 1962 she had already begun her excavations in Jerusalem, though the Six Days' War and the high feeling it occasioned prevented her from fulfilling her ambition to dig by Solomon's Temple in the old Jewish quarter. By nature she was an intuitive rather than an imaginative woman, but the instinct for digging in the right place at the right time had added a touch of genius to the painstaking skill and thoroughness of her technique, and in this instance it was sadly frustrated. This then was the woman who, in 1962, took up the position of Principal of St. Hugh's. This was the relaxed informal figure who had greeted us in her own house and talked about her archaeological work as easily as if it were no more exacting than keeping up the garden, and who had been absolutely honest about the priority that it must take. To most people the idea of running an Oxford college at the same time as conducting a major archaeological excavation would have seemed inconceivable. Not so to Kathleen. The College took an apparent risk in electing her, but in fact it had never made a wiser or more rewarding decision. She herself made no reference to the sacrifices it entailed for her; undeterred by the complex problems of balancing her two commitments, Kathleen at once indicated that she would not go out to Jerusalem in term time, a gesture accepted as quite natural by her colleagues who, perhaps, had not, I suspect, realized that this meant her supervising the dig during the hottest season, under the most uncomfortable conditions. Only someone of her exceptional energy could have undertaken it. There have been many heads of houses in Oxford who have carried on their own scholarly interests at the same time as they have administered their college; and many who have taken part in public service ; but I can think of no one whose dual commitment involved so much actual physical effort and discomfort. To conduct part of your life in the corridors of power in London, or in the pleasant retreat of Duke Humfrey is one thing; to manage it in Jerusalem is another, so different in degree as to amount almost to a difference in kind. Yet who would have guessed it? Kathleen missed no important occasion in the life of the College—or of the University, when she had been elected, as was predictable, to Hebdomadal Council, and on to the Board of the Faculty of Anthropology and Geography. I have known her fly out to Jerusalem on a Friday morning; return on Monday evening; drive up to a prize-giving at some obscure school on the Tuesday, and conduct a Governing Body Meeting the following afternoon without 37

showing any obvious signs of fatigue. There was no doubt of her superior staminaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but that, after all, is a matter of luck; this extraordinary energy displayed something more: a unique dedication to the job in hand which was so complete that she never gave a thought to whether it was, in fact, possible in ordinary day-to-day terms. With the result that it always was possible, and there were no complaints, no excuses, and no self-pity. I think I admired this quality in her more than any other. Knowing, too, that every evening, after a full day in College, she would be in her study, wholly absorbed in the careful detailed work of writing up her findings, unaware of time, sometimes staggering to bed in the small hours, to be up again and in the office next day with a mind open to any problem any undergraduate might bring to her. Since I have become Principal I have been astonished at the evidence of routine work she insisted on doing for herself in College in order to acquaint herself with the life and procedures and problems of a place to which she was new. Nothing was so small or unimportant as to escape her notice. In the last few weeks I have been talking to old members of the College who were graduates and undergraduates when she was here, to colleagues and to members of the staff of the College, and a wonderfully consistent picture has emerged from these conversations. I should like in the last part of my address to give you that composite portrait as, .in the first part, I described my first impressions, the original sketch. When she took up her appointment at St. Hugh's, Kathleen's first act was to meet every member of the domestic staff of the College individually so that she should know them and they could feel they might approach her at any time. Those I have spoken to have been unanimous in singling out an aspect of her character which would not necessarily have been first recognized in the more involved academic relationship. They speak quite simply of her charm. Notoriously, charm is a quality which cannot be defined but is rather felt. Those who met Kathleen in the ordinary concerns of day-to-day life felt her charm very powerfully. This was, I believe, the effect of that large-scale simplicity of temperament which was her most apparent quality and the warmth and sweetness of nature which emerged under the bluff and shy exterior. There is no doubt that the sympathy with young people was one of the most striking aspects of her Principalship. Early in her time as head of house she was approached by undergraduates with mild complaints about the condition of their rooms. A poor college, she explained, could not give them the luxuries which more favoured societies might. But then, they suggested, might they not themselves decorate their rooms? Against the opposition of a hard-pressed bursary she said yes, of course, yes; they had better do for themselves what the College could not do for them. There are still in the College archives photographs of the sporadic attempts of the junior members to do this; Kathleen kept them carefully in a private file, individually noted. It was entirely characteristic of her whole attitudeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; a positive openmindedness to any suggestion from young people which came especially engagingly from one who, of her own admission, was conservative and traditional in most of her views. At a time when student revolution was the fashion, she retained the love and loyalty of her junior 38

members. In Joint Committees she never compromised but simply said what she believed, and, even more rare, listened to what she disbelieved with patience and with seriousness. Her reward was the devotion of her junior members. A term after she had retired they asked that the new building of the College for which she had been instrumental in raising funds, be named after her: the Kenyon New Building. This was an unprompted tribute to the love she inspired in undergraduates, most of whom hardly knew her personally but who were all immediately conscious of her concern and affection for them. Many stories could be told of her careless generosity towards the young. Any undergraduate in distress could count on occupying a room in the Lodgings at any time. On hearing at a dinner party that a young American who had just come up had been asked what he played (meaning rugger or soccer), and had replied 'the clarinet', she laughed ; but when her informant added that he had said, 'Not in my house, you don't', she instantly put in, `Well, he can play it in mine'; and he did. In her retirement she was sent a letter by a schoolgirl asking for the answer to some small local archaeological problem. To a friend to whom she had told this she said, 'Wasn't it lucky, I had an idea about it and I found some details so I could write and tell her what she wanted to know.' Here is surely the expression of her genuine greatness. Kathleen Kenyon was a woman who took a schoolgirl's question as seriously as the running of a college or the supervision of an excavation. No one could have been in any doubts that she possessed that least academic of all virtues : courage. Kathleen was a bonny fighter, and she fought for many causes窶馬otably for archaeology as an undergraduate discipline, with which many disagreed, and for the necessity of single-sex colleges for women, a cause that, for the most part, seems now lost in Oxford. She was never afraid of publicly professing her own convictions. Morally, as well as physically, she was a very brave woman, and many must have felt, as I always did, that there was no one I would rather have with me in a tight spot than Kathleen. Unflappable, good humoured, and resourceful, she radiated reassurance. Yet, under this splendid public front, those who knew her best were conscious of other, more private qualities. She was shy and vulnerable, and inarticulate when it came to expressing her deepest feelings. Her genuine Christian faith, for example, was not something she spoke about; her deeper affections were never a matter for conversation. It was easy to forget her sensitivity, but she needed to receive in return the warm affection and comradeship she so generously bestowed on others. A friend has said of her that all her digs were happy ones, and indeed she herself was blessed with a happy nature. Her devotion to her family, her school, her college, and her university was the instinctive expression of a spirit which understood and believed in community, association, and friendship. Above all she loved people, even though she did not always understand them. Looking back finally on Kathleen's personality, I find myself remembering most her gaiety and laughter, her sense of fun, itself springing from the quality which perhaps best characterized her greatness. This was a kind of innocence, a rare simplicity in the light of which the world 39

began to seem a larger, clearer, more exciting and happier place than we normally find it to be. She managed to make you share something of her warm and guileless view of life, and that in itself, over and above all the other services she gave to her fellow men, made it a privilege to have known and loved her.

Margaret Joan Sargeaunt Joan Sargeaunt came up to St. Hugh's from Godolphin School, Salisbury, in 1922. She read English and gained First Class Honours in 1925. After obtaining a Diploma in Education (with Distinction) she taught for three years at Wycombe Abbey. Those who knew her there agree that she was a brilliant teacher and stress also her interest in Drama. A contemporary writes : 'As a young teacher Joan Sargeaunt treated the girls as intelligent beings who had a natural keen interest in English Literature and a real desire to express themselves clearly. When these assumptions were proved mistaken her unbelief and genuine pain were miraculous correctives. Her teaching methods were often unorthodox but her lessons were fun and illuminating and remain in the memories of her pupils fifty years on. She gave enthusiastic and knowledgable encouragement to any interest in drama and the theatre, and one recalls a splendid staff production of St. Joan in which she gave a memorable performance of the Dauphin.' Returning to Oxford for a year to complete her thesis on the dramatist John Ford, she was awarded a B.Litt., and in 1931 was appointed Lecturer in Education at Sheffield University. In 1937 she moved to Edinburgh as Adviser of Women Students and Warden of Masson Hall where, during the years of the war, she befriended and helped countless students especially those from overseas. Ten years later Joan Sargeaunt came to London as Principal of King's College of Household and Social Science and stayed there until her retirement in 1966 when she was elected an Hon. Fellow of the College in recognition of her outstanding service. It was largely owing to her vision and foresight that the College (renamed Queen Elizabeth College) expanded its buildings and its academic scope so successfully during the nineteen years she was Principal. Under her leadership it was transformed from a small specialized institution for women students into a thriving Science Faculty offering B.Sc. courses in a large variety of disciplines and pursuing vigorous research in these fields for men and women in equal proportions. During this period she also played a prominent part in the affairs of London University serving on a number of its sub-committees as an ex-officio member of the Collegiate Council. It was a source of pride to her College that she was elected Chairman of the Council for 1965-6. Throughout her career Joan kept in touch with St. Hugh's. While she was Principal Queen Elizabeth College became the regular meeting place for the biennial sherry party of the Association and many members will still have vivid memories of her as a delightful hostess. She enjoyed social occasions, and her wide circle of friends remember her generous hospitality, 40

and the elegance and wit of her speeches at more formal functions. When she retired she lived in a village in the Chilterns within twenty miles of Oxford and was able to take a more active interest in the Association. She became its first President under the new constitution holding office for two terms from 1966 till 1970. Largely owing to her initiative a wellattended Jubilee dinner for the survivors of the 1922 year was held in 1972. She had a great capacity for friendship and retained contact with people she had known in every phase of her life. She travelled widely and adventurously, and often combined her travels with visits to friends in different continents. A week before her sudden death in June 1978 she had returned in high spirits from a cruise up the coast of Norway as far as the North Cape, followed by a visit to an old student in Oslo. Brought up in a country rectory, the daughter of a scholarly clergyman from whom she received much of her early education and who fostered her knowledge and appreciation of the greatest works of English Literature, Joan always recalled with loyalty and affection her home and family circle, her schooldays, and her undergraduate years at St. Hugh's. In some ways she was very conservative and her friends were often amused by her mild scorn of 'modern inventions' which included the use of the telephone for conversation or any addiction to radio or television. Gifted with a keen intellect she was witty, tolerant, and unassuming, though sometimes sharply critical of slipshod thinking or the careless use of the English language. But her equanimity and above all her complete integrity impressed everyone she encountered, and endeared her to her many friends who feel sadly diminished by her death. M. E. M.

Edna Lilian Bell (nee Fulford) Edna came up to St. Hugh's in 1921. She enjoyed Oxford, especially in the summer when she played tennis and went on the river. There was one incident which her contemporaries may remember. She was knocked off her bicycle near the Examination Schools on the first day of Hons. Mods. and she broke her leg, but thanks to Miss Gwyer's prompt action, she was able to write the rest of the papers in hospital. In 1925 she went to the Godolphin and Latymer School in Hammersmith to teach Mathematics. She stayed until she retired, becoming Deputy Head in 1949. The School remembers her not only as a fine teacher but because of her versatile acting in the annual Staff plays. She shared her husband's interest in gardening and his love of walking in mountainous country. After his death in 1964 she continued to enjoy her garden and her yearly holiday in Switzerland. She died on 12 May 1978. P. S.

Marjorie Anderson Bellamy Marjorie Bellamy, affectionately known to her friends as 'Bellames', came up to St. Hugh's in 1920 from Wycombe Abbey, via Kesteven and Grantham Girls' School. Reading History provided her with an incentive to travel widely both at home and abroad. In fact she went once round the world and twice to Australia and New Zealand, and regularly showed slides of her trips to various organizations for charitable causes. But it was for her services to the Grantham Community that she was awarded the M.B.E. in 1972. She literally devoted her life to Grantham and its concerns. She was a magistrate and the first woman Chairman of the Bench. For fifty years she was the valued Secretary of the Grantham and Kesteven Welfare. Society and was closely connected with almost every worthwhile organization which comes to mind. Although her heart condition had been slowing her up in 1978, she only missed the Gaudy of that year because of a major family celebration that weekend. So that her death in hospital, five weeks after she had been put to rest in bed at home, came as a shock to those with whom she had shared her life. The nursing staff at the hospital were amazed at the number and variety of her visitors, while she herself came to realize for the first time how truly she was loved and respected. M. P.

Julia Cartwright Julia came up to St. Hugh's in 1921 to read English Language and Literature. She taught for some years at Worthing and then for eighteen years taught Art at Hitchin Grammar School, returning to her home town in 1947 to teach Art at Macclesfield County High School for Girls until her retirement in 1964. Julia had many friends who miss her sadly, she loved travelling abroad and in this country in her car, and in her younger days was a keen sportswoman. In spite of worsening health she was always ready to help friends and good causes and until the week before her death was in charge of the Red Cross Library at Upton Grange Home for the Elderly where her sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;her only relativeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;now lives.

Margaret Nancy Hewins Although Nancy went to St. Hugh's to study English, she changed to Modern Greats and took her degree in 1924. She was the daughter of Professor W. A. S. Hewins, one of the founders and the first Director of the London School of Economics. Before and during her college life she developed a deep interest in producing and setting plays, which was fostered by frequent visits to the Old Vic and a lasting friendship with 42

Sybil Thorndike. When she went down she collected a group of postuniversity people and formed an amateur company called the Isis Players which performed in London and once or twice at St. Hugh's at Gaudy weekends. On one of these occasions Dame Joan Evans was in the cast. Then Nancy conceived the idea of producing Shakespeare plays for London elementary schoolchildren, for which she obtained the approval of the London Education Authority. The first performance, that of the Merchant of Venice, took place on 4 December 1927, and for four years children all over London were entertained with different Shakespeare plays. At the same time Nancy was coaching and lecturing in economics and designing settings and experimenting in stage lighting. She designed the lighting and setting for Gustav Holst's The Morning of the Year and arranged the lighting for Orfeo at the London Opera Festival under Sir Thomas Beecham, lighted Arthur Bryant's production of Comus at Ashridge and another performance of that play at Stowe School. The highlight of out-door illumination was the Greenwich Night Pageant produced by Arthur Bryant in 1933 at the Royal Naval College. Finding that schoolchildren accepted an all-woman cast for Shakespeare plays Nancy founded a professional company she called the Osiris Players, later the Osiris Repertory Company, composed of a team of seven women. Nancy now began her life's work of bringing Shakespeare and classical plays to children and adults all over the United Kingdom. Her work was seen by over 100,000 children. When war broke out and school tours were complicated by evacuation she broadened her repertoire to include modern plays to entertain the villages. Even the petrol shortage did not daunt her, she took to horses and toured with a pony-and-trap and a dray, until the Ministry of Transport gave permission for the petrol required for a one-and-a-half ton van to carry the company about England and Wales, dossing down in village halls and school classrooms. After the war the company acquired caravans which sometimes made life easier. Nancy had not set out to be an actress but she developed a delicate and subtle touch in such roles as Mr. Spalding in The Private Secretary, Sir Andrew Aguecheek in Twelfth Night and Mr. Pim in Mr. Pim Passes By. She was a plausible villain in Richard III and a horrifying Fagin in Oliver Twist. Falstaff and Abraham Lincoln were outstanding achievements. Her skill in make-up enabled her to change unrecognizably from Lady Macbeth to the Porter in about five lines, often in the dark. The Osiris Players provided an excellent grounding for girls anxious to enjoy a stage career. Nancy encouraged her actors to develop their characters from within, she never imposed a character on anyone. When in the late sixties she disbanded the acting side of her company she used its magnificent costumes in a 'theatrical costume hire' in her headquarters at Willersey in the Cotswolds. Now in her retirement she wrote a book, not yet published, of her life in the company, calling it 'Well Why. Not?' (because that is what she often said, to the horror of her companions, when asked to make some preposterous long journey or produce a play under difficult conditions). She celebrated the company's Golden Jubilee on Sunday, 4 December 1977, already feeling ill, and in early January 43

1978, her heart was failing. She died in the Radcliffe Hospital on the night of 16 January, shortly before she would have been 76. The loss of her presence is deeply felt by her friends. Her grave is in Willersey churchyard and her epitaph in Cymbeline â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Fear no more the heat o' the sun, Nor the furious winter's rages; Thou thy worldly task has done, Home art gone and ta'en thy wages.

Mary Holdsworth (nee Zvegintzov) Mary 'Z', as she was affectionately known, came up to St. Hugh's in 1927 to read P.P.E. She took her B.A. degree in 1930 and worked for a time in the London and Eastern Trade Bank, London E.C. She was born in Voronezh and her father, Colonel A. Zvegintzov, was a member of the Duma. In 1938 she returned to Oxford to become Secretary to the Master of University College, Lord Beveridge. In 1940 she married Richard Holdsworth, R.A.F.V.R., who was a Fellow of that College and was killed on active service two years later. Mary continued until the end of the war as a teacher in the R.A.F. and R.N.A.S. under the-Central Advisory Council for Adult Education in the Forces. In 1946 she taught at the City Technical School and at Ruskin College, and she also lectured to P.O.W.s at Wilton Park Training Centre. From 1948 until 1962 she was Secretary and Senior Research Officer of the Oxford University Institute of Commonwealth Studies. In 1949 she became Secretary to the Oxford University Colonial Studies Committee and manager and governor of two schools. She also found the time to publish an annotated bibliography of Soviet-African Studies, 1918-59, and a book, 'Turkestan in the 19th century'. In 1962 she went to Durham University as Principal of St. Mary's College, and in 1973 became Pro-Vice-Chancellor of the university, the first woman to hold the post. Mrs. Holdsworth did much to break down barriers between men and women at Durham, and also established a new chapel in St. Mary's College. ED.

Christine Mary Snow (nee Pilkington) Mary Snow, who died at Perpignan on 13 November 1978, was born in 1902, the daughter of Cecil Pilkington of the well-known Lancashire firm of glass manufacturers. She came up to St. Hugh's as a scholar in 1922 and took her B.A. degree with first-class honours in Botany in 1926 and B.Sc. in 1929. In this year she was elected to a Research Fellowship at Somerville, but was unable to take up the post of Resident Tutor in Natural Science because of her marriage to Robert Sabine Snow, F.R.S., Fellow 44

of Magdalen College. While living in Headington and collaborating with her husband in research, she continued in close touch with Somerville, teaching and directing the studies of the botanists, an informal relationship recognized in the list of Lecturers from 1948-58. She was elected an Honorary Research Fellow of Somerville in 1966 and an Honorary Research Fellow of St. Hugh's in 1972. She served as a Curator of the Botanic Gardens from 1947 until 1958, when the Snows reluctantly decided to leave Oxford in search of a climate better suited to Robin's health. Finally they made their home at Vernet-les-Bains, in the foothills of the Pyrenees, where they continued their collaboration in research. From the very first Mary Pilkington stood out among her fellow undergraduates as possessing a highly individual and almost ultra-scientific mind. She was always searching for the relationship between cause and effect, and this not only in botany but in the wider field of life. I sometimes thought that she viewed the world as a giant research laboratory but this outlook was tempered by her compassion and solicitude for all living things. Very simple in her personal way of life, she was aboundingly generous towards 'the causes which need assistance' and did much good by stealth not only by benefactions to her own and other universities but in quiet financial help and encouragement to many in need. In youth, Mary liked rock-climbing and until almost the end of her life she greatly enjoyed walking in mountains, a pleasure shared by her husband. Both she and Robin were interested in the scientific investigation of the paranormal and were members of the Society for Psychical Research. She read a good deal, particularly biography, and here again her interest was largely in cause and effect. 'How did this man or woman come to act in a particular way ?' Mary had all the good and solid virtues of her north-country upbringing. She possessed complete integrity and a strongly developed sense of duty. She was a forthright and outspoken person who did not suffer fools gladly but she was also a most charming and loyal companion and friend and all her many friends will feel the lack of her. E. N.

Rosemary Estelle Woolf The following tribute, written by the Principal of St. Hugh's appeared in The Times on Wednesday, 19 April 1978, and is here reprinted by permission. Ed. The death on 13 April of Rosemary Woolf has deprived Oxford of one of its outstanding medievalists. The English Religious Lyric in the Middle Ages remains the authoritative work on this subject, and several of the articles she produced between 1953 and 1976 have established themselves as classics. The English Mystery Plays and the work on Langland she was engaged on up to her death reveal the exceptional range of her scholarship. There was nothing of the narrow specialist in her warm and bold intellect. 45

Rosemary Woolf read English at St. Hugh's between 1943 and 1946, took her B.Litt. in 1949 and the previous year received her first appointment as Assistant Lecturer at the University College of Hull where she was to remain for thirteen fruitful years. Here she began to develop her remarkable grasp of medieval theology, iconography, art and literature, and to discover her great gift as a teacher—the ability to evoke in her pupils their latent scholarship and love of literature. Her passionate devotion to her subject was always infectious. In 1961 she was appointed English tutor at Somerville, and she committed herself to the college and its concerns, as well as to her pupils, with all the ardour of a strong, devoted nature. Her powerful practical mind, good sense, and good humour made her the ideal Fellow. Her compassion was instantly touched to action at anyone's distress. She was a witty woman who admired wit in others, and she bore the appalling disabilities of her last years with characteristic courage and gaiety. She knew how to enjoy life as well as work, and loved fast cars, good food, films, and travel. Her death is a loss to scholarship, and an irreparable loss to the pupils, colleagues, relations, and friends whose lives she enriched so generously.
