From the Master One of the final duties of my first year as Master of Caius is to welcome you to this, the thirteenth issue of our popular alumni magazine – and it’s a pleasure, as well, because Once a Caian… is one of the things that brings our College community closer together.

We, the Fellows, students and staff based in Cambridge, represent less than 10% of that community, because Caians are doing their bit to make the world a wiser, better, more humane place right across the globe as well as continuing to support the next generation of Caius students.

Thanks to the dedication of our Development Office with support from the fellowship and students, more of our alumni are regular donors than any other Oxbridge college.

Last year, donations from Caians and friends of the College amounted to almost 30% of our operating budget, enabling us to admit the best-qualified candidates regardless of parental income and to subsidise every one of our undergraduates to the tune of over £4,500 pa. That, to me, is the Caius family at its finest – generously supporting our successors and maintaining our exceptionally high standards of education and research – and I trust many more Caians will decide to support our College in the years to come.

Fittingly, this issue of the magazine celebrates the life and achievements of one of our most distinguished alumni, Francis Crick (1950) and pays tribute to the extraordinary contribution our Director of Development, Dr Anne Lyon (2001) has made and continues to make to the College’s finances.

We also feature some of the varied achievements of Caians, past and present – osteoarchaeologist Dr Jo Appleby (2008) and her amazing encounter with the skeleton of Richard III, the late Sir Simon Milton (1980), Boris Johnson’s Deputy Mayor of London, Caians from as far away as Burma and Kenya, the group of Caians who pioneered the science of Genetics and, perhaps most importantly, the 350 Caians who gave their lives in the two World Wars. We remember their sacrifice with gratitude and the utmost respect.

I hope you will find much to interest and entertain you in these pages – and that it will act as a small reminder that we are all indebted and bound together by our common heritage as Caians and can share in and appreciate our successes, from the laboratory to the river.

Stonemasons from the firm of Brown & Ralph lay the roundel at the heart of the new memorial to Francis Crick (1950). The guilloche pattern combines a pair of serpents, beloved of Dr Caius, with the double helix of DNA, identified in 1953 by Watson and Crick.

Caius r A

mong historians of the sixteenth century, the matriculation books of Gonville and Caius are justly celebrated. For they are unique in recording rich details of parentage, schooling and father’s reported occupation or status. Much of our knowledge of the secondary education system of the sixteenth century comes from those entries in heavily abbreviated Latin.

Caius College continued to maintain its detailed matriculation books over the centuries, and so in 1950 we find a remarkable page that juxtaposes the signatures of two of our eleven Caian Nobel laureates.

The matriculand was Francis Harry Compton Crick, born on the 8th of June 1916.

And the Master who admitted him was James Chadwick (1919), who had received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1935 for his discovery of the neutron. If a day comes when the Oxbridge colleges are even harder pressed than now, this single page may fetch a good price at auction.

But it isn’t going to happen under the Mastership of Alan Fersht.

Francis Crick was being matriculated as a graduate student; he was a married man of 33; and in 1950 the MCR was not the active community it is today. So it would be easy to suppose that Crick had little connection with the College during that period of his life. Not so.

Roeland Verhallen

Several weeks before Crick’s formal entry to the College, the Governing Body held its termly ‘General Meeting’. Business then was not so different from now. The Annual Accounts were examined and accepted. A distinguished Bishop was elected to an Honorary Fellowship.

And then it was agreed to offer dining rights to a select group outside the Fellowship, among them Francis Crick.

This system of granting dining rights is an important part of college life in Oxford and Cambridge: it prevents a Fellowship becoming too inbred, and it widens and deepens the intellectual life of the College at dinner.

However, the gift of dining rights to Francis Crick, weeks before he was even in statu pupillari, was unusual. Michael Prichard (1950), who joined the Fellowship the same year, tells me that these privileges were extended during this period to only one other research student – a man of older years, who was in a position to make a present of pheasants to the Fellows every Christmas, at a time when Britain still enjoyed food rationing.

In the case of Francis Crick, the offer of dining rights was based on his existing experience in research and his known skills as a conversationalist. So the Minutes of that General Meeting in April 1950 are historically important. They show that Crick was not an unrecognised figure at this stage in his career.

Clearly Chadwick and the Fellowship must have been aware already of his promise and intelligence. This was three years before Watson and Crick submitted to Nature their

Two student trumpeters, Malachy Frame (2011) and Matt Letts of Fitzwilliam College, gave the first performance of Fanfare and Double Helix, specially composed for the occasion by Professor Robin Holloway (1967).

Neil McKendrick (1958) put it; and at one point there seemed unanimity in the Fellowship that the memorial should take the form of a fountain. So the Working Party commissioned two alternative designs from Britain’s leading designers of water features. Each design made its own allusion to the double helix. Yet neither recommended itself to the Fellowship, and it became clear that every Fellow had a different mental conception of what form a memorial fountain might take.

The solution came in a conversation at dessert on February 10th, 2009. It’s possible to recover the exact date, since Fellows pay for their wines, and the Bursary records show that this was the one evening that month when Paul Binski (1975), Julian Sale (1986) and I were all dining. Professor Binski drew our attention to the guilloche pattern used in classical and medieval buildings to mark a processional way. His original sketch was on the back of a wine card. Often the guilloche pattern was interrupted by a roundel, a pause marker, that represented completeness.

Together, the two stretches of guilloche and the roundel suggest the structure of a chromosome, and so this was the design that the Working Party set about developing.

paper entitled ‘A Structure for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid’ – the paper that set in train so many of the scientific, medical and social developments of the last sixty years.

Crick took up the Fellowship’s invitation and he continued to dine regularly throughout his Cambridge period. Fellows remember him as someone who had a quick, light wit, and who would readily discuss any subject. He was not unkind in his wit, but, faced with bombast, he might mischievously entertain other diners by egging on the pompous guest with admiring questions.

In the autumn of 1975, at a time when he was considering his future path, Crick allowed his name to go forward as a candidate for the Mastership of Caius. His advocates in the College were Richard Le Page (1963) and Jeremy Prynne (1962), and they recall the discussions they had with Francis in his house in Portugal Place. He assessed systematically the nature of the job and the constraints that it would impose on him. In the end, he withdrew from the contest. A major factor may have been the attractive possibility of a post at the Salk Institute. Another consideration was his atheism. Fierce and publicly declared as this was, Crick did not want it to obtrude or to offend others in College. His feelings were clear: he would not ‘feel comfortable’ (as he tactfully put it) in carrying out the formal duties of the Master in Chapel or reading the long form of the grace at dinner (he was happy though with ‘Benedictus benedicat’). More generally, he honourably felt that his large and sometimes controversial personality might not match the expectations of the College. After he had withdrawn as a candidate for the Mastership, it became evident that he wanted to devote the rest of his life to theoretical molecular biology and neuroscience, and his ensuing sabbatical at the Salk Institute allowed him to identify the perfect setting for this work.

Yet there is no doubt of Crick’s affection for Caius and there is no doubt of the College’s recognition of his stature. Watson and Crick’s 1953 paper stands to twentieth-century biology much as Darwin’s Origin of Species stands to nineteenth-century biology. And so, in 2006, when Lord (Christopher) Tugendhat (1957) and Matt Ridley suggested that Caius should mark his memory, the Governing Body was unanimous in doing what Governing Bodies do: it set up a Working Party.

Identifying a suitable form of memorial was to take several years. For there are more than 100 Fellows and each is jealous of his or her own aesthetic judgement.

Some, sensible of Crick’s striking profile, favoured a bust, a bas-relief, or even a statue in Tree Court; but there were always other Fellows who were firmly against a figurative representation. We’re a dry and land-locked College, coveting a ‘corridor to the river’ as

Crick allowed his name to go forward as a candidate for the Mastership of Caius The final version, now cut in stone within the Great Gate, represents the procession of knowledge from the College to the outside world. It makes allusion not only to the guilloche of the classical processional way, but also to our own traditional Caian symbolism.

In the arms that John Caius commissioned for the College, paired serpents resting on a marble stone were prominent, ‘betokening... wisdom with grace founded upon virtue’s stable stone’ (Christopher Brooke’s History, p 64). Serpents are exquisitely incorporated in the silver caduceus that Caius presented to the College. They also recall for us the older symbolism of the Staff of Aesculapius.

However, the Working Party were then faced with a dilemma. The two helical strands of DNA are anti-parallel. To make an allusion to DNA, should one helix end in a serpent’s head and one in a tail? That would be discordant with the traditional symbolism of the College. Molecular biologists will spot how the problem was solved. Initially the viewer takes the markings on the necks of the mythological serpents to be gills or perhaps, aposematic signs; but they can also be read as roman numerals, marking the 3’ and 5’ ends of DNA. There are further arcana concealed in the central roundel. The letter forms in the

roundel represent the process of transcription from (ungilded) DNA to (gilded) RNA. All Caians, of course, will recognise the sequence GCC which is embedded in the DNA sequence and which happens to represent a valid codon in the genetic code. To interpret the RNA sequence, however, you need to carry in your head the single-letter code for amino acids.

From right to left, it gives F for phenylanaline and C for cysteine – and then a termination code. We rely, however, on existing Caians not to reveal this reading to future undergraduates: David Summers (1974) plans to set it as a puzzle for his first-year genetics students.

The memorial is placed so that it can be seen by the public from the plane that in Cambridge is boldly called Senate House Hill.

This site became possible as a result of the recent restoration of the metal gate at the initiative of Michael Prichard. We envisage that generations of tour guides will give increasingly garbled accounts of the symbolism long into the future.

The members of the Working Party were Morris Brown (1989), Roger Carpenter (1973), Alan Fersht (1962), Joe Herbert (1976), John Mollon (1996), K. J. Patel (1989), Julian Sale (1986), David Secher (1974) and David Summers (1974). All contributed to the tortuous development of the memorial into its final form, but it has been Professor Roger Carpenter who with style (and considerable patience) has translated successive vague ideas into elegant designs. And it was Lida Kindersley, Fiona Boyd and their colleagues from the Cardozo Kindersley Workshop who translated Roger Carpenter’s designs into slate and stone.

The memorial was funded by subscriptions from the Fellowship and close friends of the College.

Exactly 60 years to the day after the publication of Watson and Crick’s paper, on the 25th of April, 2013, a ceremony was held to unveil the monument. Opening the ceremony, Professor Sir Alan Fersht, Master of the College said of Watson and Crick’s achievement: ‘It’s roughly equivalent to the theory of relativity or discovering the laws of gravity and it’s the keystone of modern biology. They realised they’d done something enormous, but I’m not sure they realised how important it has been in practical terms’.

The ceremony included a noble new composition for two trumpets, created for the occasion by Professor Robin Holloway (1967) and entitled Fanfare and Double Helix. It was performed by current students, Matt Letts and Malachy Frame (2011).

The ribbon, of course, was a double helix in Caius colours, specially prepared by the College Housekeeper, Karen Heslop. It was ceremonially cut by Dr. James Watson, who shared the 1962 Nobel Prize with Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins. Paying tribute to his old collaborator, Jim Watson declared: “Francis was the brightest person I ever interacted with.”

In his will, the late Antony Barrington Brown (1948) left his entire photographic library to the College.

It includes “BB”’s historic 1953 photographs of Crick and Watson, still somewhat abashed by their new-found celebrity, with their home-built structure of the double helix. This photograph continues to be reproduced frequently in publications all over the world, providing, as BB always intended, a valuable stream of income to his old College. In 2003, BB travelled to California to take photographs of Francis Crick and his wife Odile at home, to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the great discovery.

Face to Face with Richard III T he popular fantasy of archaeology features “Howard Carter moments” where the dusty-faced archaeologist cracks open the tomb, letting in the first daylight and fresh air for 4,000 years, gasps in amazement and raises the gold mask triumphantly from the head of the mummified Pharaoh.

Dr Jo Appleby (2008) cannot count the number of times she has explained to people that real-life archaeology is not like that at all – but since a memorable day in September 2012, she has had to admit that such lifechanging moments really do happen – albeit very, very occasionally.

Jo read Archaeology & Anthropology as an undergraduate at Newnham, did a Master’s in osteoarchaeology at Southampton and returned to Cambridge for her PhD. Her particular interest was the European Bronze Age (c.2,200 -1,600 BC), looking into funerary practices and working out how the treatment of bodies changed over time and how that information can be used to learn more about the people and society of the age.

In 2008, she won one of the four Research Fellowships awarded each year by Caius.

These elite “post-doc” positions are highly prized by young academics in all disciplines and the competition for them is extremely fierce, so that was no mean achievement.

In her fourth and final year at Caius, she was appointed to a Lecturership in BioArchaeology at the University of Leicester.

As the only human osteologist at Leicester, she was advised that the Richard III Society had obtained permission from the City Council for the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS – a commercial archaeological company integrated within the University’s School of Archaeology and Ancient History) to excavate part of a council car park, in search of information about the King’s burial. It was thought to be the site of the old Grey Friars Friary, where the last Plantagenet King, 32 years old, had been buried after he was killed at the Battle of Bosworth Field, thus losing the crown to Henry VII and ending the Wars of the Roses.

Jo knew she would be invited to the site if human bones were found, but thought they

Dr Jo Appleby (2008) was the osteologist who undertook the delicate task of uncovering the skeleton of King Richard III when it was discovered in a Leicester car park. It had been buried for more than 500 years.

could probably wait until after her holiday.

Surprisingly, on the first day of the dig, the bulldozer lifting the tarmac revealed the legs of what seemed to be an intact burial.

The Head of ULAS contacted Jo while she was on holiday, to say: “We’ve got some bones – but don’t worry, it’s not Richard the Third!” When she returned, she went to the dig and started carefully removing mud and debris to reveal more of the skeleton. The head was higher and further forward than she expected and the grave seemed to have been dug hastily (it was not quite long enough for the body). There was evidence of violent battle trauma on the skull – which had probably been received at the time of death, since there was no sign of healing. There were no rings or grave possessions – and no evidence of a coffin or even a shroud. The hands were close together, as if they had been tied when the body was buried.

It was when Jo started to uncover the torso that she realised there was something very different about this skeleton – for the spine had a very sharp curve, indicating the deceased had been a victim of scoliosis. Could

DNA samples were taken from the teeth of the skeleton, which had a noticeable curve, suggesting scoliosis.

Jo Appleby had to be extremely careful that her own DNA did not contaminate that of the skeleton.

Back at the laboratory, Jo measured each bone precisely to determine age, sex, build, etc.

this really be the body of the hunchback King? She had spent years telling anyone who asked that moments like this didn’t happen in real-life archaeology…

From the vantage point of Tudor England, a century or so on, Shakespeare immortalised Richard as a “lump of foul deformity… unfit for any place but hell” – unforgivably, from our own age’s viewpoint, linking physical disability with moral corruption.

Another trench being excavated nearby seemed to confirm that the spot where Jo was working might well have been inside the choir of the old friary church, where some records said Richard had been buried.

It was now time to remove all the bones in as good a condition as possible, photograph and measure them and then reassemble them for a full body CT scan, to try and recreate the appearance of the living person, whoever he (or she) might have been.

Jo is at an early stage of her professional academic career. If Richard’s identity was confirmed, this would probably be the highest profile archaeological discovery in living memory. Scientific proof was needed before anyone would go out on a limb and risk making a highly public and embarrassing mistake.

Carbon-dating proved that the skeleton dated from around the end of the fifteenth century, but the final identification was based on a suite of evidence: archaeological, skeletal and DNA sequencing – and all of the different strands needed to point the same way. The osteological aspects were age at death, sex, build, physical characteristics and skeletal trauma. The archaeological aspects were the position within the church, the construction of the grave and the treatment of the body.

Leicester University geneticist, Turi King, took some of the teeth of the skeleton to search for DNA that had not decayed and could still be sequenced – and she found it.

DNA is recombined in each generation, so there would be few links, even between close relatives, more than 500 years on.

The exceptions are the Y chromosome, which is only present in males and is passed down from father to son, and mitochondrial DNA, which exists outside the cell nucleus and so is passed down in the egg: only female descendants can pass it on. The early part of the line was well known, but it took an historian working with the Richard III Society, John Ashdown-Hill, to trace the last four generations of a line of all-female descent running 17 generations from Richard’s mother and his older sister – but the only living descendant was male and so the line was about to die out. The man, Michael Ibsen, a cabinet-maker living in London, provided a sample of his DNA and it matched. Later, another descendant was traced by academics from the University of Leicester (although the person has chosen to remain anonymous) and the finding was confirmed.

So the University and City of Leicester could announce their momentous discovery to the world – and Jo Appleby’s life will never be quite the same again. She doesn’t enjoy the publicity very much; she would prefer her feelings not to be the subject of public scrutiny and curiosity; she has formed a low opinion of journalists’ regard for truth and was genuinely shocked when she realised that some of them had simply made up quotes and attributed them to her. She will be more than happy to get back to the quiet, careful, study of past times that she has chosen as her life’s work.

But she generously agreed to do this interview for Once a Caian… because she feels a deep sense of gratitude to Caius for the four years she spent as a Research Fellow. She hopes the College will continue to offer such opportunities to other promising young academics at the start of their careers.

Chemistry’s Loss

James Howell

ny Caian who has not yet met or at least heard of Dr Anne Lyon (2001) has either been living in a cave for the past twelve years or simply not paying attention!

As Director of Development for that time, Anne has transformed both the financial position of the College and the way in which Caians feel towards their alma mater.

At the end of the twentieth century, a common view among graduates from the ‘40s, ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s was: “The government paid for me to go to university: why shouldn’t it pay for the next generation? And if it really is going to shirk its responsibilities, why ask me to fill the gap?”

Anne has answered that question on countless occasions. As her Deputy from 2004 to 2009, I was fortunate enough to observe her demolishing the counter-arguments of many highly articulate and determined nondonors who are now among the College’s most enthusiastic supporters.

The answer is simple: Caians, who have enjoyed the privilege of becoming life members of this remarkable academic community, have received much more than could ever be paid back; we are all living links in an intellectual chain that stretches back unbroken to the Middle Ages; and from those to whom much opportunity and reward has been given, a little generosity is the least that can be expected.

There are several reasons for Anne’s success as a fundraiser. The first, I think, is that she is an excellent listener. She is genuinely fascinated by what people have to say and what makes them tick, but in a conversation with a potential benefactor, she instinctively finds the emotional channel that links them with the College. It may be an experience remembered from their student days or an interest developed later in life: the result is the same. Anne presents the case for supporting Caius with great finesse, but her special, almost unique ability is the way in which she tunes into what the other person really cares about and shows how they can express that concern or advance that cause by supporting the work of our College.

The second reason is her sincerity. Anne believes passionately, indeed she knows, that

what she does is of benefit to the whole College community, students, staff and Fellows. Mick Rock (1964), the celebrated photographer, once affectionately called her a “shake-down artist”, for persuading him to make a substantial gift to Caius – but that is unfair: no coercion or deception is involved.

Anne knows from long experience that benefactors can never be forced to make a gift – and they rarely regret their generosity: many have told her what special pleasure and satisfaction they have enjoyed as a result of engaging or re-engaging with the College as a supporter.

The third reason is that Anne is steeped in both Cambridge and academia. She is not quite a native in the sense that Christopher Brooke (1945), for example, was actually born into the College and its traditions, but she certainly has Caius and Cambridge in her blood. Anne’s mother, Thelma Butland, spent the first year of her undergraduate life at King’s College, Cambridge, having been evacuated from Queen Mary College, London, during the Second World War. There, the Physics Professor tried to persuade her to switch from Physics to Botany, which he thought a more suitable subject for a young lady. Thelma silenced the Professor by asking whether he had ever heard of Marie Curie!

Anne herself was inspired to study science in the sixth form, not only by her mother but

by Crick and Watson’s discovery of the structure of DNA. Her own subject is Chemistry and at the age of 17 she was offered places at both St Hilda’s, Oxford and Newnham, Cambridge. Fortunately for Caius, she made the right choice and matriculated at Newnham in 1967. Science was still a man’s world: when studying for Part II, Anne was one of only four women in a group of over 100 men reading Chemistry. She stayed at Newnham for her PhD – and disappointed all those male Chemists by marrying a young Architecture student from Fitzwilliam, Richard Lyon.

She had what she describes as the “good fortune” to discover an error in the work of Nobel Prize winner, Lord Todd, then Master of Christs. Todd himself came to the Chemistry lab to congratulate her on correcting the structure he had given for Di-N-Aroyl derivatives of Adenosine and 2-Amino-

pyridine. Anne was preparing these compounds to study the mechanism by which ‘transfer RNA’ carries amino acids to the ribosomes in the cell for protein synthesis.

Roche Pharmaceuticals supported her research with a scholarship, as the new compounds she was producing were of potential use in the treatment of skin infections. The Journal of the Chemical Society for 1974 and 1978 covered her work in two papers written by Anne and her PhD supervisor, Colin Reese. Her research was considered significant enough for her to be appointed a Research Fellow and College Lecturer in Chemistry at Girton at the tender age of 23.

With an energy that anyone in the Caius Development Office would recognise, Anne threw herself into both teaching and admissions at the same time as producing a young family. She sat on the College’s Governing Body and Education Board, set and marked the organic section of the University Entrance Exams in Chemistry for the Group IV Colleges, chaired that Committee and gave supervisions most evenings. The crunch came when her eldest child, Alex, started school and she decided she wasn’t spending enough time with him. So she became a full-time mother to Alex, Amelia, Vicky and Charlie and took an active part in her husband’s business, her children’s schools and charity work.

She is particularly pleased that Alex, a cardiologist who is now the lead investigator for the first gene therapy trials in the UK for heart failure, “has already achieved far more than I ever did, along the line of research originally generated by Crick and Watson’s discovery.”

Anne sees her life to date as being divided into three phases, first research and teaching, secondly full-time motherhood and then, not Chemistry, as she expected, but a completely

When she told the Head of the School, Nigel Richardson, that she was planning to go back to Chemistry, he swiftly offered her a new position as the school’s Appeal Director, tasked with raising £1million, which she did in just under a year.

(Failure was never an option!)

She was soon receiving calls from Cambridge colleges keen to secure her services. The most persistent was Sir Terence English, Master of St Catharine’s College, and she took up an appointment as Fellow for Development there in January 1999. The result was a sharp rise in the number and value of gifts and bequests pledged to St Catharine’s.

In retrospect, however, Anne’s tenure there of nearly three years has to be seen as a rehearsal for a more lasting boost to the finances of Caius, since Neil McKendrick (1958) and Barry Hedley (1964) proved still more persuasive, once Sir Terence had retired!

Nowadays, everyone knows that tertiary education in the UK is increasingly dependent on each institution’s ability to raise its own funds. But at the start of this century, many people thought the UK could never develop a culture of philanthropy like that of American universities.

Anne never doubted the importance of philanthropic benefaction to maintain academic excellence, nor did she doubt her own ability to generate strong support from Cambridge alumni for their own colleges. She feared that, without successful, professional fundraising, the most precious (and expensive) hallmark of an Oxbridge education, the supervision system itself, would be at risk.

From her own experience, she knows the bonds formed at college last a lifetime: she is

still in touch with many of her closest friends from Newnham. In February, ten of them met for lunch in London, followed by the Manet exhibition at the Royal Academy.

Above all, Anne always believed loyalty and a sense of belonging could be translated to active support, if only the colleges would take the trouble to communicate effectively with their members.

She brought to the task both her knowledge and experience of how Cambridge colleges work and the logical, formulaic approach of a scientist. The first vital tool was an effective, up-to-date database. A college that did not know its members’ addresses, phone numbers, emails, professional standing, interests and families had no chance of communicating effectively with them. And no college could expect its members to make regular donations to its work and wellbeing without expressing its gratitude and recognising the support received at various levels.

At Caius, Donor Recognition now includes asking as many donors as Gonville Court will hold to the May Week Party, inviting all Members of the Court of Benefactors (who have made lifetime gifts of at least £20,000) every year to the Benefactors’ Feast in November and inscribing the names of those who have given over £1million on the Benefactors’ Wall inside the Great Gate.

Anne has asked me to point out that this rate will increase to £1.5million from 1 July 2014. It took over 600 years to assemble the first 26 names, from Edmund Gonville (1348) to Roger Barclay-Smith (1955), but within a year of unveiling the Wall, the names of Christopher and Shirley Bailey and John and Ann Haines have already joined that Roll of Honour. Anne’s advice to anyone thinking about following suit is to do so now and avoid the rush!

She regards the highlights of her Directorship to date as funding the construction of the Stephen Hawking Building (when over 2,000 benefactors gave more than £10million), establishing the Benefactors’ Wall and the current, ongoing Appeal for £4million for a new Boathouse and Graduate accommodation (see page 36). Her most treasured personal moment came when Martin Wade (1962), President of Caius Boat Club and Dr Jimmy Altham, Senior Treasurer, asked if she would like the College’s latest coxed IV to be named in her honour – and she adores the photograph of her grandson Henry sitting in that boat (page 8).

Anne looks forward to a time when all Caians will make annual gifts to the College at whatever level their circumstances allow. This regular giving to the College is topped up from time to time with capital gifts for specific projects eg naming their old room in College or the current Boathouse appeal. And she believes every Caian’s Will should include the ultimate gift of a legacy to the College.

Nowadays, a college’s strength is measured, not only by its performance in the Tripos and on the River, but in the inter-collegiate benefaction tables. Caians can be proud that, when it comes to generosity, our College is a leader in Cambridge or Oxford – and for that, we have principally one person to thank.

Anne’s own view of her achievement is more modest: she acknowledges that we have made a reasonable start, but she always insists that our fundraising efforts have a long way to go before we can truly claim to have secured the College and our distinctive, individual system of education, study and research for future generations.

Chemistry’s loss has already been a huge financial gain to Caius – and long may it continue!

Good News I from Burma

by Dr John Casey (1964)

A world away: Dr John Casey in his Fellow’s set in Caius Court.

Dan White

n February 1988, on my way to lecture in Kyoto, I arranged a short visit to Burma. After more than 25 years of isolation, the Ne Win regime was allowing tourists in for brief visits.

At dinner in Bangkok, the night before I left for Rangoon, I talked to a couple from the British Embassy who had just come back from Burma. I told them I was going to Mandalay, and they recommended a Chinese restaurant there, and said I should ask for a waiter who loved James Joyce.

In the restaurant I did not meet, as I expected, an aged Chinese, but a young man of twenty. Pascal Khoo Thwe (1991) was an English literature student at Mandalay University, working in the restaurant to support himself and his nine brothers and sisters, after the demonetisations of the currency by General Ne Win had left many thousands destitute. He was a hill tribesman – of the tiny Padaung (or Kayah) tribe, famous for their ‘giraffe-necked’ women – a Catholic with animist undertones.

His tribe were a more or less Bronze age people, who had been given letters only in the twentieth century by an Italian missionary priest. Pascal had stumbled on a couple of works by Joyce, because he was unusual amongst Burmese students in being keen to read works outside the narrow curriculum prescribed by the University. He had not heard of George Eliot, or T.S Eliot, but he knew masses of poetry from Palgrave’s Golden Treasury.

Once a Caian Issue 13 FINAL_Once a Caian... 9-12 Issue 12 13/09/2013 10:19 Page 13

...Always a Caian 13 Pascal took me to the Mandalay campus to meet his friends studying English literature – Padaungs, Shan, Chinese and Burmans. I found that they had hardly any texts. A single text might be shared among a hundred students. One took out his chief treasure to show me, wrapped in a silk cloth: it was a tatty, much annotated photocopy of Hemingway’s The Old Man and The Sea. It was enough to bring tears to the eyes.

Only days after I left Burma, the great insurrection of 1988 broke out, only to be bloodily repressed. About six months later, I received a letter addressed to: Mr John Casey, English Department, Cambridge University, London, England: “Dear Sir, You would be surprised to see me here at the Thai-Burma border… I’m so sorry to have fled from home for nearly six months…

I am in trouble for health food and others…

I would appreciate any help and suggestions… I cannot forget the day I met you in Mandalay.” Pascal was amongst the thousands of students who had fled into the jungle after the collapse of the rebellion.

At the beginning of the uprising, his Burman girl-friend had been beaten, raped and murdered by the army.

The story of what followed is a long one, but in brief, Caius decided to offer Pascal a place to read English, on the glorious fiction, promulgated by the then Admissions Tutor, Konrad Martin (1970) that my meeting with him in Mandalay constituted an admissions interview. The independence of the Colleges allowed us to take such a quixotic decision.

A group of sponsors got together to pay for him. Eventually it was possible to travel to the Thai-Burma border and, with the aid of an ex-SAS officer, to spirit him down to Bangkok, and thence to England.

In his months in the jungle, under the protection of Karen guerrilla fighters, Pascal had seen friends of his burned alive by Burmese soldiers, villages of ethnic minorities destroyed and the corpses left under piles of manure, and people blown to pieces as they were forced by the army to walk across minefields. His family had been told by the army that he was dead, and had held a Requiem Mass for him.

It was not a usual background for a student of English literature at Cambridge.

English was only Pascal’s third language, but he managed to get through his exams and take his degree. (His ‘original composition’ for Part II of the Tripos was awarded Firsts by both examiners who read it.) The late Michael Aris, husband of Aung San Suu Kyi, came to Caius for his graduation. Pascal is the first Padaung ever to graduate from a Western university, and the first Burmese to take an Honours Degree in English Literature at Cambridge.

adventures, his escape to Caius – in From the Land of Green Ghosts – won the Kiriyama literary prize (defeating a book by the Dalai Lama amongst others) and the French translation won a prize for the best foreign work of non-fiction published in France that year. Three years ago Pascal’s baby son was baptised in Caius Chapel. There was a prayer for Burma: “…aid and inspire those who struggle for justice; comfort those who are unjustly imprisoned and detained; grant return to those in exile; and hasten the coming of peace and freedom to that country.”

I doubt that a single one of those present dreamed of the dramatic changes that took place in Burma a year or two later, almost suggesting an answer to that prayer.

It had been impossible for Pascal to return to

Burma except at the risk of his life. But last year, after 24 years in exile, he was able to visit. He telephoned his own little town in the Shan hills only two days before travelling there “so that they would not go to any trouble.” His family and the entire town turned out to greet him with garlands, the town brass band and a celebratory Mass.

His grandfather had been the Chief of the clan, and there is little doubt but that they hoped Pascal would take his place.

Pascal is now raising funds so that he can go back and work for his people, raising their educational standards, introducing new crops, and perhaps even starting vineyards in the Shan hills.

It is a great Caius story – and it looks as though, against all the odds, it is progressing toward a happy ending.

The village brass band turned out to celebrate the end of twenty years of exile.

Liars, Damned Liars and ! s t s i m o n Eco H

by Dr Victoria Bateman (1998)

Yao Liang

introduced by Mick Le Moignan (2004)

Dr Victoria Bateman (1998) with her Supervisor and mentor, Dr Iain Macpherson (1958).

istorians and economists, at Caius and elsewhere, seem to enjoy constant intellectual guerrilla warfare. They snipe at each other, set traps and try to explode each other’s theories. Each regards the other’s approach and analysis as highly dubious and probably fatally flawed by having started from an unsound premise and applied the wrong set of facts.

As an economic historian, Dr Victoria Bateman (1998) would be entitled to sit on the fence in this conflict – but she has bravely chosen instead, in the article that follows, to come out with all guns blazing and accuse the economists, first of leading us all into the deadly ambush of the Global Financial Crisis and now of being too obdurate to rescue the severely wounded survivors.

Victoria grew up in an area of economic decline in East Manchester, on the edge of the Pennines. Her village was “full of falling-down cotton mills left over from the Industrial Revolution, with the lucky ones finding new uses as blocks of flats.” She attended a state school and sixth-form college and was one of the few to get into Oxbridge.

At Caius as an undergraduate, she was lucky enough to be supervised by Dr Iain Macpherson (1958), who encouraged her, as she encourages her own students, to discuss the founding giants of Economics, Adam Smith, writer of The Wealth of Nations, Malthus on population growth and Keynes’ General Theory – even though the texts are no longer on the formal syllabus!

In 2001, she went to Oxford to take a Master’s in Economic and Social History, but her supervisor recommended a more rigorous training in Economics and she switched to a D.Phil in that subject rather than History. In

2009, after three years’ teaching in Oxford, she jumped at the chance to return to Caius as a College Lecturer and now Director of Studies in Economics.

Her exceptional abilities were soon spotted by the Master, Sir Alan Fersht (1962) and Professor Yao Liang (1963), and she was appointed Registrary, a position of considerable responsibility. As a Caian, married to another Caian, James Bateman (1998), she says: “I felt teaching and research were not enough. The College is a self-governing institution and I wanted to contribute to the wider needs and concerns of the Fellowship.”

Her recent publication is the substantial Markets and Growth in Early Modern Europe (Pickering and Chatto, 2012) which challenged popular assumptions (promoted by economists) that the freer the market, the more prosperous the society. She is currently working on a shorter, more popular book to be entitled Ten Lies Told by Economists.

Iain Macpherson would be as delighted and amused as Victoria’s readers will be (except other economists) to enjoy the following exclusive foretaste of that volume.

Victoria Bateman writes: In 2008, the world economy plunged into the gravest downturn since the Great Depression. Since then, policymakers have battled to find an escape. Whilst the depth of the two episodes is comparable, the recovery phase is strikingly different: between 1932-7, the British economy grew at 4% per annum – now little more than a dim and distant memory.

Of course, if you can see a problem looming on the horizon, you can take action to avoid it. Given the depths and global nature

of the recession it is therefore a damning indictment that HM the Queen had to ask economists on a visit to the LSE “Why did nobody see it coming?”

In fact, not only did economists not anticipate the crisis, they actually predicted the very opposite. On the eve of the turmoil, they were congratulating themselves on developing increasingly sophisticated mathematical models to help better understand the economy. These models suggested that if free-markets ruled and the state took a back-seat role, the economy could do nothing but flourish. Free-market capitalism was guaranteed to work; the President of the American Economic Association confidently announced that the future was rosy and the Great Depression would never happen again.

Not only did mainstream economists fail to predict the crisis, their free-market policies actively helped to bring it about. In the West and in China, income inequality was allowed to grow, creating a lack of spending relative to global output that was only plugged by the borrowing of governments and consumers.

Aided by financial deregulation, banks were happy to lend and financial giants were happy to develop new-fangled products to sell the associated debt. Debt was escalating, as were house prices alongside, but policymakers took no action.

Of course, since economists were telling policymakers that bubbles were not possible (markets are efficient), why should they have behaved otherwise? And since economists with their minds lost in mathematical theory were so far removed from the realities of what was going on in finance, how could they possibly have realised the consequences, even if things were to tumble, as they did, starting in 2007?

If anyone is to blame for the crisis, it is the economics mainstream with their free-market ideology and unrealistic views of how the economy functions – and their ignorance of history.

As my own historical research has shown, markets are not enough: they developed too many centuries before the Industrial Revolution to be responsible for the beginnings of economic growth. Had markets been sufficient, this momentous historical event would have happened much sooner – in medieval times. Growth only reached respectable levels once the state got involved, lowering inequality, regulating finance, and funding education, healthcare, infrastructure and scientific research. Whilst economists like to suggest that the global economy after the free-market policies of Thatcher and Reagan performed better than ever before, at 1.4% p.a. from 1980-2009, global growth was only half that achieved in the more interventionist 1950-80 era.

When in such a deep hole, it inevitably takes time to escape – in the real world there are no magic wands or ruby slippers. However, placing our escape in the hands of those who dug the hole in the first place is the last thing we should be doing. Economists need to face up to the lessons of history: the state and the market are not substitutes – they are complements; one cannot do well without the other.

What we need is a revolution in economics – like the Keynesian one that followed the last Great Depression. Unless this happens soon, we will face a very different sort of revolution – one which throws the baby out with the bathwater, disposing of markets altogether. Then, we will find ourselves on Hayek’s Road to Serfdom, but for the opposite reason to the one he suggested.

ome men achieve more in a short lifetime than many do in a long one.

Sir Simon Milton (1980) had little idea that his life would be cruelly cut short at the age of 49, but he did much to improve the lives of Londoners of all parties and all persuasions.

As Leader of Westminster Council for eight years and Chairman of the Local Government Association, Simon accumulated an invaluable store of knowledge and administrative experience. When Boris Johnson was elected Mayor of London in 2008, he chose Simon as his Deputy Mayor for Policy and Planning (and later Chief of Staff as well). Although Simon regretted having to resign from his existing appointments, just days after his re-election as Leader, this was the perfect position for him to use the wisdom he had acquired in more than a decade of public service in the capital.

Simon’s father, Clive, came to Britain in 1939 on the Kindertransport, which saved the lives of 10,000 Jewish children in the months before the start of the Second World War. His sister came with him but they were never reunited with their parents and older brother, who remained in Germany. After the war, Clive completed National Service in the British Army as a German translator. When demobbed, he worked in the Festival of Britain’s catering division, which gave him the idea of starting a bakery shop. With the help of Ruth Klein, whom he married in 1960, this evolved into the Sharatons chain of patisseries. Simon was born on 2 October 1961, followed by his sister, Lisa.

The Miltons were very conscious of their good fortune and embraced the values of hard work, service and family life. Simon was Head of House at St Paul’s School, came up to read History at Caius, was awarded an Exhibition and achieved a “political double” as President of the Union and Chairman of the University’s Conservative Association.

Intending to join and probably take over the family business, he took a Master’s in Professional Studies at Cornell University, learning about various aspects of the hospitality industry, haute cuisine, hotel management, etc. His father, fearing he might stay in the USA, bought him a restaurant in Bond Street, Miltons, which had a significant impact on Simon’s later life.

Back in London, the lure of politics was irresistible. In Spring, 1988, a vacancy occurred in the Lancaster Gate Ward of Westminster Council. Simon telephoned a sitting Conservative Councillor, Robert Davis (1976), to seek his support in the by-election. Robert initially said he was too busy to meet, but when Simon explained that he owned a restaurant in Bond Street, Robert agreed to join him for lunch that day. They soon found they had much more in common than Conservatism and Caius: within four weeks,

Simon was a Councillor and within six, he and Robert were living together and sharing their lives.

Council work lacks both the glamour and the financial rewards of national politics: Robert is a busy London solicitor but spends most lunch-hours and evenings and at least one day each weekend on council business. He observes that, while cabinet ministers get a red box full of papers to read each night, he gets a series of large brown envelopes equally full! Both Simon and Robert thoroughly enjoyed being able to help. They knew people contacted them because they needed urgent assistance or advice on a matter of great importance to them. They found it immensely satisfying to be able to make a difference to people’s lives.

The Man Who

Ran London

by Mick Le Moignan (2004)

Simon decided to leave the family business and within a few years became Managing Director of APCO, which under his leadership grew into one of the UK’s most influential public affairs companies.

But then came a serious health challenge: in 1990, a routine blood test led to a diagnosis of chronic leukaemia (CLL). Doctors advised that, while there were no immediate symptoms, Simon would have a better chance of ultimately fighting the disease if he chose, while still healthy, to have a bone marrow transplant to replace the cancerous cells.

Eight years later, Simon elected to have that treatment, involving strength-sapping chemotherapy and radiotherapy. His sister, Lisa, was the bone marrow donor. But the weakening of his immune system made him

Sir Simon used to live on the site of the sculpture in Piccadilly at the corner with Eagle Place. The flagship of his family’s chain of patisserie shops, Sharatons, was nearby. Details of the sculpture include the Caius Gate of Honour (above Simon’s right shoulder), London’s City Hall (above his left shoulder) and an éclair and a cake in honour of the Milton family business.

...Always a Caian 17 more liable to infection and he contracted a serious pneumonia, which damaged his lungs.

He recovered but thereafter had poor immunity. Robert calls it: “a limitation he learned to live with” but it necessitated frequent hospitalisation and courses of antibiotics. In the end, it cost him his life.

Extraordinarily, all of Simon’s greatest achievements came in the years that followed the transplant. In 2000, he was elected Leader of Westminster City Council at a time when it had, according to Robert, “low esteem internally and a bad external reputation.”

He set and achieved the target of having Westminster Council voted Council of the Year within his first four-year term as Leader.

In 2006 came an unusual honour: Simon was one of only two Conservative politicians to be knighted during Tony Blair’s Prime Ministership. The key recommendation is said to have come from John Prescott. Robert explains: “His administrative ability and amazing judgement were highly prized. He rose above party politics in his leadership and he was particularly good at bringing people together. He worked well with Labour politicians, who realised that he was principally interested in improving people’s lives.”

Simon’s “Civic Renewal” project delivered 80 separate initiatives within Westminster in four years, including the transformation of Paddington Basin, which converted waste land around the station into a huge, successful development. The writer of his obituary in the Daily Telegraph, Dean Godson (1980) points out: “he also set up Paddington First to help ensure that the poorer residents of W2 and W9 obtained the jobs on the construction sites.”

His “famous inclusivity” was tested by the Tube train atrocities on 7 July 2005, which resulted in his establishing the One Faith Forum and the One City project which put inter-faith dialogue at the heart of the Council’s agenda.

In 2007, Simon and Robert decided to enter into a civil partnership and arranged a ceremony at the Ritz Hotel with a small group of friends to celebrate. A few days before it, they were shocked to see Evening Standard billboards proclaiming “Council Chief Weds Gay Lover” but relieved to find that the double-paged article in the paper was very positive, supportive and sympathetic.

It was as Boris Johnson’s Deputy and Chief of Staff that Simon’s talents and experience found their fullest expression, using his links with the business community to bring new prosperity to London, writing a new London Plan, pushing through and securing the funding for Cross Rail and many other historic developments, guiding the impetuous Mayor of London unerringly through a minefield of potential PR disasters and ensuring that the emphasis at City Hall was on actions, rather than words.

Boris Johnson was at Simon’s bedside when he died, together with Robert Davis, Simon’s sister, Lisa and mother, Ruth. Unveiling the memorial sculpture to Simon on Piccadilly, Johnson expressed his deep gratitude, describing Simon as “the personification of calm and sweet reason.”

Simon’s was one of only three memorial services to be held at Westminster Abbey in 2011 – the others were for Dame Joan Sutherland and Lord Bingham. When Robert said the Hebrew Kaddish for Simon from the High Altar, it was probably the first time this solemn prayer of mourning had been spoken in the Abbey. It was a fitting final illustration of Simon’s commitment to inter-faith dialogue.

In the Service Booklet, David Cameron wrote: “In politics, there are the talkers and the doers – those who actually roll up their sleeves and work to make a difference. Simon certainly fell into the latter category – an extraordinarily talented leader of local government in London.”

Simon and Robert were both regular attenders at the College’s annual Lecture, Service and Feast for the Commemoration of Benefactors. The charitable Foundation (www.sirsimonmiltonfoundation.com) that Robert and others have set up in Simon’s name intends to endow a perpetual Simon Milton Scholarship at Caius for undergraduates from London (with a preference for candidates from the City of Westminster).

They d The brief histories are simple and poignant, each one a tragedy for the family concerned and an illustration of how little each of us knows about our own future. Some names are familiar, such as Captain Harold Ackroyd (1896), a doctor posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross for exceptional courage in persistently treating injured men ahead of the front line.

ne Sunday evening in June 2012, a regular Chapel attender, Diana Summers (1992), wife of Caius Fellow Dr David Summers (1974), the John Haines Lecturer, looked at the names of 350 Caians carved on wooden panels at the entrance to the College Chapel, found herself wondering “Who are they?” and set about researching their stories and locating their photographs.

Diana insists that she is not a professional historian: after joint Honours in Physics and Chemistry at London and an Open University degree in Maths when her children were young, she did an M.Ed at Caius twenty years ago, and has delved into her own family history – but this project is a much larger undertaking.

One year on, after hundreds of hours of work, she is approaching the halfway mark in her gargantuan task and would like to hear from any fellow-Caians who may be able to provide biographical information and elusive photographs.

(See box bottom right)

John Dunlop (1905), a University Demonstrator in Chemistry, was the first Caian to die in the Great War, on 27 August 1914. He had written a will just 24 days earlier, leaving £1,500 to the Master and Fellows, to be invested and used at their discretion.

The bequest funds scholarships and research studentships, at first in Chemistry alone and later in other subjects as well, and is still appreciated by about eight scholars every year.

Robert Michell (1880) was Captain of Boats and a Blue who went on coaching the College eights for many years.

Like Ackroyd, he was a doctor who ventured into “no man’s land” to help the injured. At the Battle of the Somme in July 1916, he was hit in the back by shrapnel and paralysed. Michell was repatriated but only lived for a couple of weeks. We have more photographs of him than most because of the part he played in College sports.

One of the saddest stories is that of Frederick Dietrichsen (1901), a Captain in the 7th Battalion, Sherwood Foresters, who were sent to Dublin in 1916, poorly armed.

Dietrichsen’s Irish wife and their daughters had evacuated there to escape the Zeppelin attacks. He spotted them by chance while marching through the street and left his column briefly to embrace them – but their happiness was shortlived, as the Battalion was ambushed in the Easter Uprising. Dietrichsen and many of his comrades were dead within the hour.

The Teichman family suffered more than most: both sons of Oscar Teichman (1898), Philip Teichman (1931) (pictured) and David Teichman (1933) were killed in World War Two. Their father gave much of his estate to Caius, to found scholarships in their names which continue to this day. The late Rosemary Beatty who, with her brother, Lynton Cox (1931), was a close friend of Philip’s, named a room in the Stephen Hawking Building in their memory.

One man, John Harrison, did not live to matriculate. He won a scholarship to Caius in Modern Languages from Manchester Grammar School, but instead applied for a commission. Harrison died on the first day of Passchendaele (Third Battle of Ypres). It took place in reclaimed marshland where shelling had destroyed the drainage system. Heavy rain turned the muddy battlefield into “a swamp that swallowed men, animals, guns and tanks.”

Jack Hardy (1908) was the son of a well-to-do orchid enthusiast who developed the natural hybrid Cattleya Hardyana.

The army turned him down on grounds of health but he persisted, arguing that he and his chauffeur had often overhauled his Austin and Rolls Royce cars and his familiarity with petrol engines could be useful. They accepted him and he transferred to the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) but contracted a new strain of influenza that killed many soldiers and civilians towards the end of the war.

Captain Theodore Crean (1899), a popular cox of the first Caius boats, received an extensive obituary in The Caian. An early member of the RFC, he and a fellow officer were flying under dangerously low cloud cover to observe British artillery and signal to them from the air. Their plane was hit by “friendly fire” and exploded on impact. The incident led to the adoption of the familiar RAF roundel markings.

Contrary to popular assumption, not all of the victims were in the first flush of youth. The oldest Caian to die in the Great War was Lt. Col. John Wood MVO (1873). He had retired from a distinguished army career with the First Royal Dragoon Guards, a cavalry regiment involved in the relief of General Gordon at Khartoum and in the Boer War, but re-enlisted and died in 1916 while working with the Army Remount Service, which provided the British Army with almost a million horses and mules in the course of the First World War.

And not all of the Caians were graduates and academics: six College Servants are included in the Roll of Honour. Robert Leeds, who left school at thirteen to work as a kitchen porter at Caius, was a keen sportsman who rowed in the Servants’ Boat and played for the Caius Servants’ Football team. Two of his colleagues, fellowoarsman Herbert Benstead and cox Archibald Fairweather, also gave their lives for their country. Ironically, in 1914, they had joined the Territorial Army “to go on a holiday”, thereby ensuring that they were among the first to be called up.

Robert’s nephew, a successful Cambridge businessman of the same name, is justly proud of his uncle’s sacrifice.

Diana Summers is particularly keen to discover the Christian name of the one man who is only known by his initials, another College servant, WG Clarke, who served with the 1st Battalion, Norfolk Regiment. His full name was not recorded in The Caian.

These brief vignettes do scant justice to the brave men who risked everything and lost their lives – but they are one way of keeping our annual promise to “remember them”. The centenary in August 2014 will cast a fresh light on all these events but for Caians, Diana Summers’ inspiring project will offer a uniquely personal perspective on the lives and deaths of our courageous predecessors.

Anyone who can supply biographical details or a photograph of any of the following Caians who fell in the First World War, or any who come after Fry in the alphabetical list, is invited to contact Diana Summers (Email: summers34@btinternet.com) or the College Archivist, James Cox (Tel: +44 (0) 1223 332 446).

To celebrate the centenary of Reginald Punnett’s appointment as the first Professor of Genetics in 1912, the Cambridge University Department of Genetics has produced a film entitled From Punnett to Personal Genomics – A Century of Genetics in Cambridge. The film may be viewed online via YouTube or on the website of the Department of Genetics.

by Mick Le Moignan (2004)

A picture of the genetic code. Anthony Edwards (1968) has created a six-set version of one of the diagrams invented by John Venn (1853) to map the 64 triplet codons. Each of the 20 amino acids is assigned a colour and the resulting Venn diagram reveals the tendency of codons differing by only one base pair to lead to the same amino acid.

C

aius has a specially strong tradition in Genetics. The contribution of Francis Crick (1950) to his and James Watson’s discovery of the structure of DNA is probably the most important achievement but there is much more to the story.

Genetics is a relatively new science. The Cambridge Professor of Biology, William Bateson, coined the word in 1906. Bateson studied, translated and promoted the pioneering work of an obscure Moravian monk, Gregor Mendel, and enlisted powerful support. The former Prime Minister, Arthur Balfour, persuaded a donor to establish a separate Chair of Genetics for the study of heredity and development by descent. The donor chose to remain anonymous and endowed the Chair in Balfour’s name.

As Dr David Summers (1974), the John Haines College Lecturer and Director of Studies in Biology, points out: “Genetics is still widely misunderstood. On the one hand, it promises a panacea for world problems of disease and shortages of energy and food; on the other, it’s seen as posing a sinister threat to the future of life on earth!

“It has been known since Biblical times that characteristics can be bred in and out of species. The Book of Genesis tells how Jacob became rich through the selective breeding of animals. And the widespread interest in genealogy throughout history shows how our ancestors understood the importance of blood as a determinant of fate and inheritance.”

Darwin followed Hippocrates in believing that evolution was brought about by small incremental changes passing slowly down the generations. But in 1865, on the basis of his famous experiments with garden peas, Mendel first formulated rules describing inheritance in terms of traits associated with discrete elements that passed unaltered from one generation to the next.

Mendel would die unrecognised and more than thirty years would pass before a few other researchers started to support his theories. On reading one of their papers, Bateson is said to have had what amounted to an epiphany, as a result of which he changed the whole course of his research and subsequent career. He was assisted in testing and popularising Mendel’s work by Rebecca Saunders of Newnham and Reginald Punnett (1894).

Professor Anthony Edwards (1968), Life Fellow and retired Professor of Biometry, observes: “Punnett made a habit of being in the right place at the right time. The first occasion was when Bateson offered him paid employment helping him with his research.

Punnett accepted the job but declined the income as he was already a Fellow of Caius and therefore not in need of it! Then, after Bateson had left Cambridge to become the first Director of the John Innes Research Institute in Surrey, and was invited in 1912 to return to occupy the first Arthur Balfour Chair in Genetics, he declined and recommended Punnett instead.

“Punnett, together with Bateson, first established the phenomenon of genetic

linkage in sweet peas (which turned out to be a general phenomenon throughout the living world) and secondly invented the eponymous Punnett square, which was important in helping to solve the problem of genetic linkage.”

However, Edwards credits yet another, almost forgotten Caian with paving the way towards linkage and writing the first full textbook of Genetics the year after Punnett’s book on Mendelism came out. Robert Heath Lock (1898), son of the legendary Caius Bursar, John Bascombe Lock (1867) published Recent Progress in the Study of Variation, Heredity and Evolution in November 1906.

Lock explained in his preface that, in the title of his book, he would like to have used the new word “genetics” (first tested by Bateson in a review in Nature in June of that year), but felt the meaning was “not yet clearly understood by everybody.” Unlike Punnett, poor Lock, who married Leonard Woolf’s sister, Bella, probably had a tendency to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, as well as omitting the word that might have won him a sort of immortality: he died at 36, in 1915, from heart failure following influenza.

Anthony Edwards has recently published a paper in Perspectives (July 2013), the journal of the Genetics Society of America, in which he contends that Lock’s book was hugely influential on the revolutionary work of the brilliant Sir Ronald (RA) Fisher (1909) on “(to quote from its chapter headings) evolution, the theory of natural selection, biometry, the theory of mutation, Mendelism, cytology and eugenics, all in a single volume.”

s.

As proof, he adduces a page of the second edition of the book annotated in Fisher’s own distinctive handwriting!

Punnett continued as Professor of Genetics until he retired in 1940. RA Fisher, who made colossal contributions to both statistics and genetics and was one of the three founders of population genetics, accepted the vacant Chair in 1943 and tried to establish a half-subject of Genetics in Part I of the Natural Sciences Tripos.

However, again according to Edwards, Fisher “was shot down by the botanists and zoologists, who didn’t want him poaching their students!” So the subject was included in Part II of the Tripos and a young Anthony Edwards studied it in 1956-57. By that time, Crick and Watson had published a model for the double-helical structure of DNA, which offered the possibility of understanding heredity on a molecular scale. As David Summers puts it, “This began the revolution that transformed genetics into the science that we know today.”

The Caian links with Genetics continued: Professor Henry Bennett (1950) spent four years in Cambridge as a Research Fellow supervised by RA Fisher and then returned to his native Australia to be Professor of Genetics at the University of Adelaide (1956-1991), where he invited Fisher to spend the last few years of his extraordinary career. Bennett then spent many years editing, annotating and publishing Fisher’s papers. The various connections might perhaps be illustrated by a Punnett square – or at least a Venn diagram!

A hundred years on, Genetics has spread its wings and tentacles into many other disciplines. The current Head of the University’s Department of Genetics, Dr Cahir O’Kane, says: “Today, Genetics is not just a scientific discipline: it has become the language of Biology, in the same way as Mathematics is the language of Physics and Engineering.”

Above: Robert Heath Lock (1898), who might today be regarded as one of the founding fathers of Genetics, if only he had included the freshly coined word in the title of his 1906 book Recent Progress in the Study of Variation, Heredity and Evolution.

David Summers takes great pleasure in the knowledge that he and other colleagues are continuing a great, unbroken tradition of pioneering work by Caians in this fast-changing discipline. And he’s pleased to find that successive new generations of Caius students also enjoy becoming part of that great tradition. He has seen them pointing out the Crick stained glass window in the Hall to visitors from other colleges and has no doubt that they will do the same with the new Crick memorial in the Great Gate.

In the past, David has tested new students by giving them a copy of the 64-part Venn diagram designed by Anthony Edwards to illustrate the genetic code – just to see what they make of it. And there are secrets built into the design of the Crick memorial itself that he plans to use as a challenge to first year students in the future. If any older Caians would like to know what these secrets are, he will be happy to explain to them in person!

Invited to speculate on what the second century of genetics will bring, David Summers says simply: “The only thing you can be sure of is that it won’t be anything we can predict!

The idea of knowing the whole human genome sequence is so far from anything Punnett could have foreseen.”

“Genomics is increasingly important (that is, the study of all of the DNA in a cell).

Relatively soon, it will be almost as easy to have someone’s genome sequenced as to perform a normal blood test. This might give advance warning of almost all the regular health risks faced by each individual.

“And the human genome is not the only one that’s yielding its secrets: in the near future, genome sequencing could revolutionise microbiology, enabling scientists to read, directly from the bacterial genome, information about the epidemiology and antibiotic resistance of pathogenic bacteria. That knowledge could have a transformative effect on human health and well-being.”

ichael Wood (1959) is probably the only Fellow of Caius ever to achieve the distinction of becoming an official “Blue Badge” Cambridge Tour Guide, registered with the City Council.

A man of boundless curiosity, with an insatiable appetite for intriguing anecdotes and myths, Michael takes great delight in preserving and relating the stories that make Cambridge unique in the eyes and ears of visitors from all over the world.

Michael has always carved out his own path in life. As a boy, in wartime, he attended an Essex prep school, where, he says, “cricket was a religion!” He remembers with satisfaction how his spin bowling once claimed the wicket of the Headmaster, Denys

Wilcox (Essex and England). Later, he moved to Felsted School and took up shooting in his last year “because it was the most gentlemanly form of exercise!”

Knowing that he was going to be a “real engineer”, he shunned the thought of university and became an Engineering Apprentice at Rolls-Royce – where he took a London University external degree, finishing with a First. He used to observe to any of his Caius students who complained about their workload: “Try studying at the same time as doing a job!”

In 1950, he came up to St Catharine’s College as an Affiliated Student, which allowed him to do a BA in two years, starting with Part II of the Engineering Tripos. He then moved on to research on gas turbines, for which he was awarded a Whitworth Senior

...Always a Caian 23 Scholarship, open to suitably qualified UK and Commonwealth Engineers. His Professor had an attractive secretary named Brenda – and she and Michael celebrated their Diamond Wedding Anniversary in June 2013.

They moved to Lincoln in 1955, where Michael worked for the gas turbine pioneer, Bob Feilden, as a nuclear project engineer.

Both children, Julia and Rosemary, were born there but in 1959, Michael was lured back to the Cambridge Engineering Department, where they needed skilled people to teach nuclear engineering for Part II. He still feels fortunate to have been offered a Fellowship at Caius: he had a chat with the Master, Nevill Mott (1930) and later a more formal interview with the College Council. Michael was convinced that the Fellowship was set up for someone else and he was the “control”.

So he was quite relaxed, “told them a few stories” and was astonished and delighted to be offered the position of Teaching Fellow.

Howard Phear (1911) had been the Engineering Fellow at Caius since 1919 and was ready to retire, so Michael became

real engineering job.” His “retirement” in 1988 at first consisted of consultancy work, investigating “design accidents” at the Cambridge Science Park.

Michael felt he had come to Cambridge from the outside; having benefited greatly from the experience, he wanted to put something back. So he studied to become a Tour Guide, qualifying in 1994. He liked the contact with people from all over the world, enjoyed (of course!) having an enthusiastic and ever-changing audience for his stories and felt that he played a useful role as a bridge between town and gown. He once staged a dummy graduation ceremony at a Tour Guides’ Christmas Party, so that his colleagues would know how to describe it to visitors.

He became Keeper of the College Silver around 2001, after some experience as its Auditor, and thereby discovered more curious tales about the College’s past, which he weaves seamlessly into his narrative. As with all good story-tellers, one has an uncanny sense with Michael that the tales would continue even if no-one were listening:

Michael last featured in Once a Caian…

(Issue 11, pp 14 -15) when he was engaged in a quest to determine exactly where Dr Caius is buried – he had always disliked being unable to answer visitors who asked where the grave was. Naturally, he succeeded and the spot is now marked with a discreet plaque on one of the steps in the Choir stalls and a few screw-heads to show the precise position of the grave.

Michael’s curiosity did not stop there. In the course of the grave investigation, he had observed that two of the windows on the North and South sides of the Chapel were 17 inches out of alignment. Michael could not rest until he found out why. He first consulted various medieval prints and documents and then persuaded the College Carpenter, Michael Girdwoyn (with the approval of the Dean) to remove some of the wooden panels covering the internal walls of the Chapel.

The calculations are complicated for the layman but a pure delight to Michael’s engineering mind. Ultimately, he proved to

Director of Studies for the rather small group of Engineering students within a year. He loved the contact with students and went on supervising for nearly 30 years but was more than happy to hand over the administrative job of Director of Studies to John Thwaites (1966).

Standards in Engineering rose rapidly: among the outstanding students he remembers were Lord (Alec) Broers (1960) (later Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge University) and Barry Hedley (1964) (later international business consultant and Bursar of Caius). The Engineering team was boosted again when Derek Ingram (1974) and Malcolm Smith (1990) joined the Fellowship.

He also features in the briefing sessions for the student callers in the annual Telephone Campaign, bringing along his unpublished volume of Caius Tales, with its collection of the myths and legends of the College (“some true, some less true.”) He enjoys sharing the common thread of Caius history so that the telephone callers are equipped to swap college stories with people who may be up to eighty years older than themselves!

his own satisfaction that the asymmetry must have been introduced when the windows were widened in the 1720s. The widening was constrained by the memorials to Dr Perse on the North wall and to Dr Legge on the South, thus forcing the windows into their present lop-sided positions.

More recently, he was overjoyed to discover behind another panel the remains of the external Chapel tower shown in the wellknown 1688 print by Loggan. The curious will find the story of the windows told in Michael’s inimitable style on the College website: www.cai.cam.ac.uk/history.

Alternatively, why not come to Caius and ask Michael to tell you about the recent investigations himself?

Keeping a Culture Alive

by Neil Kirkham

Caius Assistant Librarian Neil Kirkham writes about a Kenyan graduate who worked tirelessly to win recognition for the unwritten stories and music of his own people.

He may be the only Cambridge English graduate to have campaigned to close down an English Department!

T

he folklorist Henry Owuor (1963), later called Owuor Anyumba, belonged to the first generation of scholars in postcolonial Kenya. He pioneered the study of oral literature in East Africa, but left no book, and until recently the College Library hasn’t held any of his scattered work. Some time ago Jeremy Prynne (1962) asked me to help him establish his old student’s bibliography, based on which the Library has been able to acquire five of Anyumba’s six book contributions. I hope this note might guide readers to his work, and, twenty years after his death, help keep a brave man in Caian memory.

Anyumba was born about 1933, to Luo parents of Seme Kowe in Nyanza Province, Kenya. His early education was in Nyanza, before he left Kenya to study at what was then the only tertiary college in British East Africa, Makerere College in Kampala. We know he was interested in folklore by that time. The historian Bethwell A. Ogot studied with Anyumba, and in his autobiography My Footprints on the Sands of Time (2003),

Ogot remembers his friend won the Makerere College’s Arts Research Prize for 1951 with an essay titled ‘The Place of Folk Tales in the Education of Luo Children.’

Ogot left Makerere first, and in January 1954 started work as a schoolteacher. In their correspondence that year Ogot and another friend, the biologist Thomas R. Odhiambo, proposed Podho Circle, a cultural society for ‘the study and discussion of the heritage of the Luo nations.’ Ogot wrote next to Anyumba, whose ‘capacity and creativity’ had impressed him. ‘I was convinced he could undertake studies on music, literature, and language on behalf of Podho Circle.’

Ogot remembers Anyumba afterwards declined a scholarship to study psychology in the United States, because ‘he did not want to be side-tracked from literature and music.’ Podho Circle remained properly a triangle and it’s unclear for how long its correspondence continued, but Ogot clearly believes Anyumba’s involvement was decisive in his development.

Anyumba became a schoolteacher too.

In 1957 he joined the staff of the Friends’ School Kamusinga in Western Province, founded that year by Allan Bradley (1928).

‘He came to us direct from Makerere with a

teaching diploma,’ Bradley recalls in the obituary he wrote for the Caian. ‘I valued [Henry] extremely highly, as did all my colleagues and students.’

Bradley was ‘instrumental’ in arranging for Anyumba to study at Caius, according to his own Caian obituary by his cousin Anthony Bradley. Anyumba read English.

(The year of his matriculation was the same in which, on 12 December 1963, Kenya gained independence.) Jeremy Prynne, Anyumba’s supervisor and Director of Studies, remembers him today as ‘a scholarly and highly motivated student’, ‘mild and honourable’ in character.

Anyumba had published two papers before he graduated in 1966. ‘Luo Songs’ (in Black Orpheus 10, 1961, reprinted in Introduction to African Literature, 1967) and ‘The Nyatiti Lament Songs’ (East Africa Past and Present, 1964) describe the customs associated with a Luo song type – the oigo courtship song, the lament with lyre accompaniment – and give the words of examples. Both are used by Ruth Finnegan in her classic book Oral Literature in Africa (1970, new edition 2012).

We can take these two papers to be based on the collection of songs which, in his

entry among the contributors to the later book, Anyumba explains he made while teaching at the Friends’ School. He reflects on the collector’s work in his foreword to Rose Mwangi’s Kikuyu Folktales (1970).

By late 1968 Anyumba was a Research Fellow (the post he gives in a 1970 East Africa Journal article) at the new Institute for Development Studies at University College, Nairobi, in the Cultural Division of which Ogot was Director (see his autobiography).

Before the end of the year Anyumba jointly wrote a memorandum that would become a lasting document of decolonisation, printed four times (most recently in the Norton Anthology of Theory and Criticism, second edition 2010).

That polemic, ‘On the Abolition of the English Department,’ signed by Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o, Taban lo Liyong, and Anyumba, argues for the English Department to be replaced by a Department of African Literature and Languages, the authors rejecting ‘the primacy of English literature and culture.’ The Department was indeed abolished in 1973 and replaced by a Department of Literature with Ngũgĩ as Head and Professor (see Ogot’s autobiography). Anyumba’s last position was Senior Lecturer in the new Department (see the tribute by Muchugu Kiiru in the Sunday Nation, 17 January 1993).

Anyumba’s research seems to have taken a new direction at the beginning of the 1970s. Four pamphlets he published between 1970 and 1973 I only know as titles, but I believe his growing interest was in music and ritual as expressive of historical change. We can take the outlines of a programme for music from his review ‘Historical Influences on African Music’ (in the 1971 book Hadith 3).

I’ve not been able to identify any later publication by Anyumba, but he taught at Nairobi for perhaps another decade, and by 1980 was Acting Chairman of his Department (personal communication from Kiiru). He last appears in the University’s report for 1981 to 1983, where he is said to be working on ‘a comprehensive study of Kenyan oral traditions’ (Kiiru). It could be that this had occupied him from 1973.

Academic freedom in Kenya declined sharply in 1982, when Daniel Arap Moi’s government outlawed other parties and began blanket repression. (The Marxist Ngũgĩ was forced into exile.) The Caian obituary records that Anyumba ‘steadfastly refused… to take part in the repression of students’, and finally resigned rather than be so responsible.

Dear bird, let’s sing in rivalry Our doree ree yo…

Anyumba died after a long illness on 4 January 1993, survived by his wife Veronica and their four sons. His work was left incomplete, but introducing the collection Understanding Oral Literature (1994), Austin Bukenya places Anyumba among a handful of East African pioneers.

For his efforts to recover popular foundations for a national cultural life, for his courage under dictatorship, this ‘modest’ man (Bradley’s word) deserves not to be forgotten.

The Not-so-Secret A

O

K so I find myself in this slightly unusual situation of having been approached to write an article about an event in my life as an undergraduate that happened two years ago and has so far failed to be swept under the carpet.

The idea was mooted during the Telephone Campaign. As talk ebbed and flowed, a common theme was that people liked to know about our more unusual student experiences. Our College has a tradition of capturing the imagination: the Austin Seven on the Senate House roof, theft of the M1 motorway sign and so on.

They’re kind of cool things to do. We respect that.

Things around college don’t go unnoticed, and that was my experience, when I was absolutely hung out to dry by my friends.

I was reluctant to write this article; it seems a bit self-indulgent. But hearing my own story told back to me by a girl I’d known for two hours convinced me that I should take this chance to defend and laugh at myself once again.

Probably the best place to start (and try to save some face in the process) is by framing the event. Midway through Michaelmas term, I arranged a meeting with the Master, Sir Christopher Hum (2005) to discuss life in the Foreign Service; it’s the kind of thing a fourth year undergrad with no clue what to do next would do to spice up life. It was going through my mind that he knows the ex-Head of MI6, Sir Richard Dearlove, who is the Master of Pembroke College. One thing could lead to another, and so on. Friends

found it hilarious that I’d bother attending a meeting that was going to go nowhere. But it was fun. So I did.

At the start of term I’d also joined the University’s Royal Naval Unit (URNU). A friend of mine, Ben Cator (2008), was training to join The Royal Marine Reserves. So the timing was right for this series of events to unfold. It’s easy to persuade someone that something is happening when they really want it to be true. OK, point made.

In the final week of Michaelmas, I’m returning to my college room in Green Street at 11pm from an URNU night. It’s cold and wet outside. Excellent. My uniform gets coated in spray from my bike. I de-coat.

Check my phone. There’s a message from Ben. I need to go to his room. Urgently.

So I do. I find him and another friend, Iain Macalister (2008). Plus one extra, dressed in a dark suit. The stranger tells Iain he must leave immediately. Iain looks confused, which echoes my sentiments, and suddenly the mood in the room gets serious.

He shakes my hand. “Are you Andrew Marsden?” – “Yes.” – “Here is not good. I need you and Ben to meet me in my car in five minutes.

It’s a Black Mercedes.”

I glanced at Ben to see what he was thinking. Nothing. I left the room. That was strange. Iain was outside. “Did you know that guy?” – “No.” – “Me neither.” Confusion makes the mind more susceptible to suggestion. And boy, was I confused.

The confidence with which they

pulled it off absolutely hooked me and I was 100% involved: I believed I was about to be recruited. It’s easy to get swept away when you want to believe something.

I returned to my room and called my best friend, who lived in Tree Court. He thought the whole situation was ridiculous (which it was) but I was so convinced that I managed to convince him. He was now sold.

If I wasn’t back in twenty minutes, he would raise it with the Porters. Excellent. Plan sorted.

When I went to the car, the man in the suit was driving and Ben was in the back. The car was leather-upholstered, had tinted windows, the lot. His tone was hard: “I’ve been asked to give you these by my superiors. Follow the instructions exactly, and don’t speak to anyone or each other about what’s inside.” He handed over two white envelopes, one to Ben and one to me, with waxed seals on the back. We left the car, went into the blustery night and my head scrambled.

I wanted to open the letter with Ben, but he refused. So I opened it in my room and read the instructions to meet outside Great St Mary’s Church at 1100 hours the following morning. And I called my friend again to spill.

So much for secrecy!

What happened next is psychologically very interesting. I was completely taken in, believing I was being recruited, along with Ben. An authority figure was sending me instructions.

Look at the Milgram experiment (Yale, 1961), designed to test obedience to authority figures. The subject, in the role of a “teacher”, is told to administer a series of electric shocks to a “learner” in the belief

that they are involved in an experiment to test how learning is affected by punishment.

As the shock gets more powerful, the learner screams and begs for it to stop. The teacher can’t see the learner, but can hear him. 65% of adults followed authority against their deepest moral conscience, and administered what they believed to be the highest level shock of 450 volts. They were fed lines like “The experiment requires that you continue.”

And so they did. Reluctantly. But they did.

Keep that in mind. At 1am I received a call from an unknown number. A familiar voice spoke. It was the stranger in the suit.

His voice sounded strangely cold: “Things have escalated. Iain shouldn’t have been in the room. He knows too much. Do exactly what I say. Go out of your room and turn left. You’ll find a black bin liner. Inside are some biscuits. Open it. Make sure Iain eats one. He’s in his room with Ben.” He rang off before I could ask questions.

Uh oh. My heart was pumping. I believed it all. I found the bin liner, put the biscuits in a bowl, and went to Iain’s room. Would they kill him? Would they make him forget?

I didn’t know. Or care. I trusted the authority figure to do the right thing. I had absolute trust. It’s real.

I sat in the room. My mind was racing.

Iain asked me what I had in the bowl. Bam. Sorted. I gave him a biscuit. But Ben wanted one too. Crap. I shook my head subtly. No use. Ben ate his biscuit first. So I sent him a text message: “Go and make yourself sick now! Drink lots of water!” Ben rushed out the room spluttering. In hindsight I can see he was trying to contain his laughter.

Iain kept it together for a bit longer, acting dizzy, leaning against the wall,

cramping up. All I could do was stare. I told him to lie down. I felt awful. Then Ben comes crashing back in with the guy in the suit, who turned out to be his cousin. Everything is revealed and we have a long, hard laugh about it.

Now I could join the other side of the joke, because I’d confided everything to my friend in Tree Court, and he didn’t yet know it was a joke. Ben’s cousin called him: “We understand you’ve been in contact with Andrew Marsden?” – ”Yes.” – “You shouldn’t have done that. We’re going to have to deal with it.” Cut. The same cold voice that absolutely sold me struck again.

What we all forgot or decided to ignore was that my friend is the son of a foreign diplomat, so being a target for the British Secret Service isn’t entirely unreasonable.

He called his father, who carried out background checks on where the call came from. Stuff had escalated.

Convincing him it was a joke wasn’t easy.

“You would say that! It’s what they’ve told you to say!” When all three of us finally apologised, he accepted it. We’re all still excellent friends. It does make for a fun story and it’s in keeping with our College tradition of student pranks.

But there is a serious side to it that I’d like to highlight. I can laugh at myself now, how stupid and gullible I was, but the fact is, I didn’t know what was going to happen to my friend when I gave him that biscuit. I did it because I was pressured by a trust figure.

Milgram summarised his experiment by saying that when people are asked to carry out actions incompatible with fundamental standards of morality, relatively few have the resources needed to resist authority. True, that.

34 Once a Caian...

Stained Glass The magnificent stained glass window, designed by Sir Edward Burne-Jones, stood in Caius House in Battersea until the building was redeveloped in 2008. Lady Georgiana Burne-Jones gave it as a memorial to four men who drowned while the Caius Summer Club was taking place at Rottingdean, near Brighton, in 1912.

At a height of 3.5 metres the window was too large to be accommodated in the restored building and so it now graces the entrance to the Caius College Library.

Sealy Memorial

James Howell

Len Sealy (1955) writes… When I came up to Caius in 1955 I was quite unaware that I had any family connection with the College, but later I discovered in the Biographical History the name of Alfred Forbes Sealy (1850). He turned out to have been my great-great uncle, brother of my great-grandfather, William Byers Sealy.

From time to time during my fellowship I have received letters from Caians who have been on holiday in south India, enclosing a photograph of this memorial tablet and inquiring whether he might be a relative. Earlier this year I had the opportunity to see it for myself. This was quite the high point of our trip and the cause of much celebration by the members of our tour party. The memorial is in a prominent position towards the east end of the Church of St Francis in Cochin (built by the Portuguese in the early 1500s). Vasco da Gama was buried there in 1524, before being taken back to Portugal a few years later.

Alfred and William were born in India, sons of a Lieutenant-General in the Indian army, and had been sent “home” to England to complete their education. William qualified as a doctor and emigrated to New Zealand in the 1850s. One of my treasured possessions is his diary at that time. He was very successful in practice and is commemorated by two stained glass windows in the cathedral in the city of Nelson. Alfred, as the plaque records, was principal of the Rajah’s High School (Ernaculum College) in Cochin and held the government post of Director of Public Instructions. In his retirement, having taken Holy Orders, he was ordained as minister of St Francis church, but died just a year later.

The family has no record that he ever married, and we are unlikely ever to know who it was that had the memorial put up in the church. But what is notable (and I think quite moving) is that the first thing that is recorded about him is “of Caius College”, the college many thousands of miles away that he had left some forty years earlier. Plainly, for Alfred “Once a Caian…” is true not merely for a lifetime but matters every bit as much in the hereafter!

Coming up with the Goodes Mick Le Moignan

Michael Goode (2010) and his grandfather, Francis Goode (1947) are both loyal Caians, but their experiences of college life were very different. Michael came up without a gap year to live in the spacious and comfortable Stephen Hawking Building, where all student rooms have Wifi, central heating and en suite bathrooms.

Francis joined up in 1942 to fight in World War Two, so he jokes that he had a “five-year compulsory gap year”! It was not always easy for returned servicemen to share bedroom and sitting-room with students straight out of school, but that was the policy of the Dean at the time. The overcrowding was such that Francis lived in a caravan parked in the backyard of a pub in his final year.

Michael respects his grandfather’s occasional reluctance to recall times tainted by death and destruction: but he realises this is a precious opportunity to hear at first-hand how life was for the generation that was involved in the war with Hitler’s Germany.

Francis received his war medals in his Caius pigeonhole, but, although aged 23, needed to secretly climb into College if it was after 10pm. On one occasion his tutor was horrified to observe a girl in his room at 10 at night.

The Porters were straightway alerted to this heinous crime. They were able to explain that it was only Mr Goode himself, who had just returned from a Poppy-day charity prank. Collecting in drag was very effective, as the genuine article was so rare. The ratio at that time was said to be 1 : 13.

Michael enjoys wearing his grandfather’s 1947 Caius blazer to College events, but prefers today’s more liberal approach to student behaviour, as does his grandfather. Francis treasures a photograph he took in 1950 of Winston Churchill as he strolled through Caius Court , a figure prominent in Michael’s history books. The Caius each Goode experienced was a world apart, but both cherish their time with the college. Francis did not have a typical, or even particularly easy, time at Caius, but Michael is grateful he followed in his footsteps.

A Good Dinner Many non-Caians have developed a rewarding relationship with the College through benefaction. Anne Scroop and Joyce Frankland are the best known women from the College’s history but there have been many more in recent times. Sally Yates helped to establish the Bauer Scholarship Fund, in accordance with the wishes of the late Lord Bauer (1934), economic adviser to Margaret Thatcher.

Sally says: “I was incredibly shy when I first came to Caius but now I do feel part of the Caius family.” She has enjoyed getting to know the Bauer Scholars, from the first, Chinese Engineering student, Yan Yan He (2001) to the current cohort of four students in various disciplines.

She keeps in touch with several of the Bauer Scholars and recently attended a concert in London, conducted by Mark Austin (2004), now the Shinn Fellow at the Royal Academy of Music and Artistic Director of the Faust Ensemble. The Bauer Fund made it possible for Mark to stay at Caius to do his M.Phil. in European Literature and Culture as part of his preparation for becoming a conductor.

Sally recently discovered an unexpected family connection with Caius. Her father, Captain Andrew Yates, had always spoken proudly about Caius but she didn’t remember the details until she recently re-read his diary. Born in 1900, he joined the Royal Navy at the age of twelve and, after 1,200 days continuous service on board HMS Malaya, was posted to Caius as part of a special post-war education programme. He recorded his arrival in his diary: “Being ravenously hungry, I waltzed into dinner and, being told that I could sit anywhere, selected the most comfortable chair and had a jolly good meal. I afterwards discovered I had been dining with the Fellows – great sensation! Undergraduates and Naval Officers only sit on benches and get an inferior meal!”

Lord Bauer’s will stipulated, unusually, that both the capital and any interest earned on the bequest should be used up within ten years to fund scholarships in the names of RA Fisher (1909) and Richard Goode (1934). Having seen for herself what a difference these scholarships make in the lives of the recipients, Sally hopes to find a way to continue the Bauer Fund after that time.

Building on our Success I f you have even started to read this piece, there is a good chance that you are one of the significant minority of Caians who have fond memories of training incredibly hard for several months and then straining every sinew to the limit in a Caius boat in the Lent or May Bumps.

There are not enough places in the boats for all – and indeed it would not be everyone’s cup of English Breakfast – but for those who do take to the river, rowing is generally an unforgettable and precious part of their Cambridge experience.

President and Master (1903-1912).

Christopher Brooke’s wonderful History of the College, so indispensable to any later chronicler, tells us that Roberts was so devoted to CBC that he always went by bicycle to start M1 in the Mays. Alas, in 1912, at the age of 65, he was running late and the exertion brought on a fatal heart attack.

Every Caius oarsman to this day has had reason to be grateful to Roberts for his role in providing a facility which was the state of the art in boathouses at the end of the nineteenth century. Then, as now, the College Council regretfully felt it would not be right to

CBC Boathouse Appeal been in use for well over a century!). The argument that it is time for some major improvements is incontrovertible.

The most eloquent arguments have been made in actions rather than words by the oarsmen and oarswomen themselves: twelve Mays Headships for M1 in the past sixteen years, the first double Headship (M1 and W1) in the history of Cambridge rowing in the Mays in 2000, the second two years later and the first-ever double Headship in the Lents in 2003. It is a level of supremacy that Manchester United would envy – all the more impressive because it has been achieved in

Everyone who participated in Caius rowing, whether in the years of struggle or the last sixteen “glory years”, is indebted to the CBC members who went before them, paved the way and provided the equipment needed, from boats and oars to the boathouse itself.

The leader of the fundraising appeal for the original boathouse (built to a design by William Fawcett in 1879) was the legendary E S Roberts (1865). Roberts rowed in M2 (the College’s Second Men’s VIII) as a young Fellow in 1872, continued as oarsman and Treasurer until 1892 and was ultimately Senior Tutor,

divert scarce resources already earmarked for academic purposes. So the “boaties” of the day knuckled down as boaties do and found the money for the building themselves, led and inspired by Roberts’ example. Robert Michell (1880), who features on page 18 of this issue, played a key part in the fundraising process.

Caius Boat Club, which was founded in 1827 (two years after the boat clubs of First Trinity and St John’s) had to wait 52 years for its current boathouse, which has now served the club for a further 134 years (it was extended in 1903, so even the extension has

spite of the many Caians diverted to University rowing and the necessarily rapid turnover of student rowers.

To see the origins of the present success, we must look back to the 1960s, when CBC President, Martin Wade (1962) first joined the Club and when the Hon Dr John Lehman (1965) was Club Captain. John has said: “After Caius Boat Club, leading the US Navy was a piece of cake!”

Professor Simon Maddrell (1964) was Senior Treasurer of CBC (as well as the other Amalgamated Clubs) from 1967: “I used to follow them, particularly the

CBC was Head of the River in 1840, 1841 and 1844 and celebrated its half-century by going second (after making six bumps in six days) in 1877. The Club’s fourth Headship of the May Bumps came 110 years later, in 1987. The Caius First Mens VIII has now won 12 of the past 16 Mays Headships. Initially, women’s bumps were held in IVs, changing to VIIIs in 1990.

Men’s first VIII, at first by running alongside them. That was just about doable as they would set off at 5’15” mile pace before settling to something not much faster than 6’00” mile pace. As hips and knees failed, I had to resort to following by bicycle. When I could no longer do that, I just stood and watched!

Eventually they came to be the most successful of our sporting clubs. At first we were worthy but not very successful. What seemed to me to change things was John Lehman – later US Secretary for the Navy! – becoming Boat Club Captain. There was a culture change, with much more professional

and soon Caius were back on top and stayed there longer than anyone dared to hope. Jack always shared the credit with CBC’s longserving Boatman, Tony Baker: “I used to marvel at how CBC achieved its staggering results from such a dilapidated boathouse – I think we relied on Tony Baker to fill the gaps in every sense!” In 1997, the top three CBC Men’s crews and the top three CBC Women’s crews all won their blades – a remarkable achievement which may never be equalled.

The next Senior Treasurer was an unexpected appointment proposed by Dr Anne Lyon (2001), who believed he was the perfect choice. Dr Jimmy Altham (1967), a “dry bob”, took to the task like the proverbial duck to water. After four Lents and three Mays without a Headship, M1 won both Lents and Mays in 2011, again in 2012 and completed the double hat-trick this year.

Jimmy’s style of leadership could hardly be more different

training and focus and a series of motivational Boat Club Captains, Sam Laidlaw (1974) among them. That led to a glorious day in 1987 when we, the Men’s First boat, were Head in the Mays for the first time in more than a hundred years. After the last night that year, I conceived the idea of nipping back down to the river and removing the blackboard on which results were scrawled, but I was too late; it had been cleared away.

I still regret failing to do that…”

The Dean, the irrepressible Revd Dr Jack McDonald (1995), with the loudest voice and laugh on the Cam, took over in 1997

from Jack’s but he inspired them to climb back to the top and stay there. Any doubting Thomases who couldn’t see him as Alec Ferguson have had to eat their words. In recognition of his central role in their triumph, Jimmy’s “boys and girls”, as he tries hard not to call them in their presence, paid him an unprecedented tribute by painting his name on every oar.

A jaw-dropping £4million is needed to rebuild the Boathouse completely, paying homage in the design to its predecessor while providing the first class facilities CBC crews have proved they deserve. The figure includes £1million to provide six flats for married graduate students by redeveloping the adjacent tumbledown building at 28 Ferry Path.

One important function of the new Boathouse will be to provide, for the first time, proper facilities for CBC’s successful women’s crews, who have been housed in “temporary” makeshift accommodation since they joined the College and the sport more than 30 years ago.

To date, over £2.6million has been pledged towards our £4million target. Now is the time for all CBC supporters and admirers to dig deep and “give it ten” in rowing parlance, or maybe more than ten! The outstanding efforts by Caius crews over recent years deserves to be matched by a similar effort on the part of those who can give crucial support right now.

The new Boathouse should house CBC and hopefully underpin future triumphs well into the next century.
