The Master’s Report 2020 Master and Fellows

(1-12)

Dr Pippa Rogerson writes: For everyone around the world the academic year 2019-20 has been extraordinary. In the footballing cliché it has been a year of two halves: a reasonably usual Michaelmas and Lent Terms, followed by the most unusual Easter and Research Terms (the latter used to be known as the Long Vacation). In my case at least no research was done during that Term.

2019-20 was the year of the complete refurbishment of the College’s kitchens in the Old Courts. It has been a complex Pippa Rogerson Michael Prichard Peter and expensive work toRobinson bring our kitchens up to 21st Century Master Senior Fellow President, DoS in Comp Sci, standards forcompany hygiene,law environment and Comp working conditions. The CollegeLegal is grateful Conflict of laws, historyto and equity technology the care and attention that the Operations Director, her staff and the Kitchen Project Committee have put in to complete it in good time and on budget. We started the year with a temporary dining structure in the Harvey Court Gardens, named the Acropolis for some obscure reasons – it certainly does not look anything like that symbol of Greek antiquity. Most student catering was done with cafeteria service from the Harvey Court kitchens. The Fellows lunched and dined in the Cavonius Centre in the Stephen Hawking Building under candlelight and portraits, summoned by the gong from Hall. We were able to have a Domestic Evening to welcome our new Fellows: Dr Andrew Spencer, the Senior Tutor; Professor Louise Gullifer (Rouse Ball Professor of English Law); Research Fellows Dr Ted Tregear (English), Dr Francesca de Domenico (Engineering), and Dr Lisa Kattenberg (History) and along with Dr IreneMichael Tinti, the Cook-Crone Research James Bye-Fellow Fitzsimons Neil McKendrick Wood physiology Modern English & economic history for this year.social Following the very successful 40th anniversary of women Mechanical engineeringof the admissionMedical into Caius as students in July 2019, we commissioned a series of podcasts, For the Love of Learning , to mark the occasion and they are available from the usual platforms or from our website. In each of the six inspirational episodes, Caius women past and present meet to talk about their shared subject. In the light of what happened later in the year, Photograph choosing an online method of communication of ideas from Caius, rather than a physical not was available lecture, an inspired decision. The College commissioned my portrait to be unveiled at the end of the year. The brilliant female artist Rosalie Watkins has completed it, but the vernissage will have to wait until next year when we return to Hall.

The new Development Director, Dr Maša Amatt joined the Fellowship in January.

Oxford which was celebrating 150 years. The College said farewell to Dr James Fox, Dr Susan Raich Sequeira, Professor K J Patel and Dr Anna Judson. Sadly, Professor Jan Saxl, Professor David Ellar, Professor Len Sealy and Professor Simon Maddrell died during the year. As did Honorary Fellows Sir Michael Berridge and Professor John Conway.

Normal College and University business was done throughout Michaelmas and Lent Terms. Committees met, decisions were made, teaching and research continued with usual diligence and enthusiasm. The total number of students in Caius in 2019-20 was 798, 535 undergraduate and 263 graduate students. Undergraduates are made up of broadly 90% Home and EU domiciled students and 10% students domiciled overseas.

Out of the number of graduates, 76 are clinical medical and veterinary students, 45 are on one-year courses, and 142 are undertaking a PhD. The Fellowship numbered 109 at the beginning of the year. In addition, there are 10 Bye-Fellows, 11 Emeritus Fellows, 35 Honorary Fellows and 16 Gonville Fellow Benefactors.

The Senior Tutor and Senior Bursar reviewed many of the College’s policies for approval by the College Council. Quite a few needed refreshment, in particular those for Discipline and Complaints. Dr John Latimer took up the new role as Tutor for Discipline, and Dr Melissa Calaresu and Dr Bronwen Everill are the Discrimination and Harassment contacts. Initiatives for training in implicit bias, and for equality, diversity and inclusiveness have been instituted for students, Fellows and staff.

The Investments Committee conducted a review of our investment advisers and policies. CCLA were appointed to manage about half of the financial assets with Partners Capital continuing with the remainder. The College is now almost totally divested from companies extracting fossil fuels. Further information about the College’s policies on investment can be found via the College website. A substantial portion of our investments are in property, retail, commercial and agricultural. Our retail tenants have had a very difficult year. We have worked with them to support their businesses through the lockdowns, for example by deferring or forgiving rent. Development plans for a small amount of agricultural land in Dorset and Duxford have continued.

I completed the Parker Library audit at Corpus Christi College in February. The best moment was being able to inspect the St Augustine Gospels, truly holding history in my hands. I also called for Matthew Parker’s Correspondence volumes 1 and 2 – principally taking the theme of Parker’s views on married priests ‘a godly wyfe is an helper’ and letters with a topical European theme of reformers, including a letter from Erasmus. All the manuscripts I asked for were present so Corpus retains its obligation to care for that wonderful collection.

The Research Fellowship competition was as hotly competitive as ever. Three new Research Fellows were successful: Dr Emily Sandford (Astrophysics), Dr Christina Faraday (History of Art) and Dr Vedran Sulovsky (History). The College Council appointed a full-

time Tutor for Outreach and Admissions, Dr Chris Scott. Widening our applicant pool and investing in our admissions process is critical for the College’s success. We are grateful to Dr Andrew Bond and Dr Sarah Houghton-Walker who have been part-time Admissions Tutors for the last four years. Dr Rebecca Sugden, who has been a Research Fellow, was elected a College Lecturer in French.

On the last day of Lent Term 2020 we decided to cancel the Parents’ Halls at very short notice. Some medical and scientific Fellows argued that bringing a large number of people from around the country to dine in close proximity was an unnecessary risk in the light of the growing evidence of a possible pandemic. In retrospect, that was a correct decision, but it did not feel like it at the time. Two days later, we were planning how we might close down the College and University, send students home, and arrange remote teaching and examining. Three days after that, students were given a week to leave if they could. A week later the whole of the United Kingdom went into lockdown, only to emerge after 104 days. Around 30 undergraduates remained in residence, concentrated into the Stephen Hawking Building in en suite rooms, close to green space and catering.

Some 70 research students stayed on. Although most laboratories and libraries were closed, work on pandemic-related medicine continued. Almost all the staff were furloughed under the Government scheme, with salaries topped up by the College to their full amount. We were down to a skeleton operation. There was one porter at each lodge, a small number of maintenance staff checking for leaks and security, with the Master, Senior Bursar, Senior Tutor and Operations Director having a virtual meeting several times a week to plan, implement and monitor all the changes made necessary by the pandemic. MA and graduation ceremonies were cancelled, as was the May Ball and Mays Bumps. We also participated in countless University and college meetings as the collegiate University tussled to move in the same direction. Finding a structure to decide how to react to the pandemic and communicate with each other has been a major challenge. There are 31 independent colleges, 150 faculties and departments, and 30,000 students and staff who are sometimes members of both. An example of a knotty issue: it would not have been sensible for one college to decide to charge rent while the students were sent home and not another. Caius early on came to the conclusion that it would not be fair to charge rent when we had required students to leave. We are in the privileged position of being able to do so and persuading the other colleges to agree with us required negotiation. The press and public interest were intense.

The Government’s regulations, whether by statutory instrument, primary legislation or guidance (from Public Health England, the Department for Education or the Minister for Universities) have been changeable, incoherent and complex. The College is not a school, nor a university, nor a hotel, nor a restaurant, nor a club. Therefore we did not fall clearly into regulation for any of those categories. We had often to make decisions swiftly, only to see careful plans laid waste at the last minute by a new instruction.

Our income from student rentals, conferences and rent from our retail properties plummeted. Overall, the College has lost around £1,500,000 as a result. Fortunately,

THE YEAR IN COLLEGE 2019-20

the longevity of the College means it has survived similar shocks before. The Plague has not visited Caius since the 17th Century though the response to the modern one has strong similarities. Send students and Fellows to safety, pay the staff in the hope they will return, and batten down the hatches.

Teaching and examining had to move online in a very short order. We had to allow for different time zones, different circumstances in which students and academics found themselves, and different abilities to access materials. Some had good quality internet and hardware, some were juggling demands of childcare, and others suffered mental or physical ill-health. Many examinations were altered in form or content to take account of the new conditions. The examination period stretched well into the Summer. Only Part II, Part IIB, and Part III were classed. A ‘safety net’ operated so that no finalist would receive a lower class than in their previous examination. The outcome showed only a moderate rise in the numbers taking a First Class.

In August the last minute change to teacher assessed grades for A-levels raised especial difficulties for Cambridge University and for Caius. Our First Year for Michaelmas 2020 is 25 students larger as a result at 182 students. That is a cohort which is too large to fit in Hall in one sitting if any academics are also to be present, so I will be eating two matriculation and graduation dinners with the matriculation year of 2020. We took the decision to take all the increase in this year rather than require some students to defer.

We chose to avoid the adverse effect on the following year’s applicants unless the College was to grow even larger.

Much of the Summer was taken up with three matters. First was planning for the return of students. We adopted two principles: minimising risk to health but trying to do as much of our usual activity as possible unless prevented by regulation. Students were allocated to households of about eight sharing bathroom and kitchen facilities.

That unit formed the basis of living, eating and socialising (especially in the second lockdown). Visitors to College were restricted only as far as the law required. Cleaning routines were stepped up for communal areas but stopped for student rooms. Oneway systems were put in place along with hand sanitizer stations to reduce transmission along with other measures. Outdoor furniture was purchased. Fellows’ rooms were checked to ensure compliance with a 2m space between participants. Ventilation was increased. We hoped to give as many face-to-face supervisions as possible.

Lectures were moved online by the University to free up timetable space to do so. Our usual tightly-packed timetable would not have permitted any other solution. Maskwearing was compulsory. Secondly, the consequences of a campaign and petition to remove the RA Fisher roundel from Hall. Opinions on that were very divided. Matters of representation and memorialisation are complicated and contested. A working group on representation has been set up to make recommendations to the College Council. Its findings will be available via the College’s website in due course. Thirdly, the College suffered a small amount of repairable damage to the Gate of Honour and

THE YEAR IN COLLEGE 2019-20

other stonework by some activists from Extinction Rebellion despite the known fact that the College had already almost completely divested from fossil fuel extractors – as much for financial than any other reasons.

The College Council usually meets four or five times a term and not at all in the summer. We have been meeting online fortnightly since the middle of March and are now experts in Zoom etiquette. Over 560 College Orders were made between March and October, detailing all the changes to our normal way of life. We are grateful for the scrupulosity of the Registrary, Dr Conduit, in keeping the records straight.

Enabling good communication with all members of the College has been problematic while we cannot meet in our usual manner. Our students have suffered a number of difficulties last year, the UCU strike, the economy, the political situation, and the pandemic. Many of them are understandably angry and insistent on change. Our challenge is to facilitate improvements to College culture and practice. Making Caius a welcoming and inclusive community in which all can thrive continues to be my mission. The College has agreed to participate in the Foundation Year proposed by the University and in adjustment offers to be made after the A level results are known.

On a positive note, Fellows have had notable successes this year. To name just two: Professor Sir Alan Fersht’s Copley Medal awarded by the Royal Society commemorating his achievements and contribution to science of protein folding, and Professor David Abulafia’s Wolfson Prize for his wonderful new book The Boundless Sea. Three Fellows became Professors: Glenn Vinnicombe, Ian Henderson and Ferdia Gallagher.

Outside of College I continue to lecture in the Faculty of Law. Though I have not had time or brainpower for research recently I now find myself chairing the Law Examinations. The Faculty will continue this year with an online, open book assessment which the pandemic forced on us but with more time to reflect on the best manner of examination. I would not be unhappy if we never go back to a handwritten three-hour unseen paper model.

The University is pursuing a strategic review into Admissions and also on the optimum size and shape of the collegiate university. I am participating in both as a representative for the colleges. I chair various University committees from the Centre for Business Research to the Careers Syndicate. My eldest daughter’s wedding has been postponed to September 2021, which is a sadness particularly as my father died this autumn. My youngest took her GCSE’s this year with a term of online schooling. I am longing to get back to being able to meet with Caians around the world. Trips planned to China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, and the US were abandoned. Online meetings enable routine business to be done, and my carbon footprint is much lower. Some international travel will return but for the planet’s sake every trip will be scrutinised carefully. I now drive a fully electric vehicle which is a small step in the right direction.

I am tremendously proud of the way in which the whole Caian community has responded to the pandemic. Caius students have continued to learn. Caius Fellows have continued to

THE YEAR IN COLLEGE 2019-20

11

teach and undertake research. The group which came together to produce a small, lowcost ventilator, suitable for use in the developing world had a number of Caius Fellows in the lead. Caians have made donations to help replace the hole in the College’s finances.

Our staff have kept the College clean, fed and safe throughout. Reopening buildings not used for four months was not straightforward. The greatest burden of work in College has been borne by the Senior Tutor, Senior Bursar and Operations Director. With unflagging dedication, calm good-humour and professionalism they have brought the College through to be able to welcome a large cohort of undergraduate and graduate students safely back into residence in October 2020.

The Chapel

Revd Dr Cally Hammond, Dean writes: This could have been the shortest Chapel report ever, for normal worship was suspended during the first national lockdown, and as I write (May 2021) it still has not returned to our usual pattern. In early imperial Rome one cataclysmic year came to be called the Year of the Four Emperors (AD 69). The academic year 2019-20 was, for Caius, the Year of the Two Precentors. In October 2019 we welcomed as our Acting Precentor Mr Paul Brough. Throughout the Michaelmas and Lent Terms he took care of the choir and made marvellous music in the Chapel, including an unforgettable Duruflé Requiem for All Souls. For the end of the Lent Term 2020 a plan was devised for a visit to St Mary’s Bourne Street (where Mr Brough directs the music) in London, to sing for a service and a concert. But it was the week before lockdown; and the signs could not have been clearer that non-essential travel and social mixing were unwise (to say the least). Amid much disappointment the visit had to be cancelled.

As if a pandemic plague were not enough, in this year we also had to contend with the kitchen refit, when meant that no outside preachers were invited (because we could not offer them proper Caian hospitality). Instead, sermons from great preachers of the past were used, presented by Caians and others: Bishop Lancelot Andrewes, John Donne, St John Henry Newman, Austin Farrer, and William Williams Pantycelyn made an impressive list, which culminated with Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount in its entirety, presented by a number of voices.

Chapel brunch, and formal dinner, continued, but across the river. This made it difficult to enjoy the usual chapel-drinks-dinner sequence in the normal way. We started evensong earlier, at 5.45pm, had drinks in the SCR as usual, and then set off on the ‘Great Migration’ across the river to dinner in the Cavonius Centre. All this upheaval meant that I came to appreciate the help and support of the Chapel clerks more than ever. Perhaps it was just as well that we did not know, in Michaelmas Term 2019, that eating across the river would be the least of our problems in 2020.

Once the first lockdown was announced, all churches (and other places of worship) were closed. In such circumstances, even had I been able to get to College and enter the Chapel, making use of it for daily prayer would have seemed like the height of selfishness. With hindsight, that closure has been judged to be a mistake. But at the time, no-one knew how things would develop, or what we were up against in terms

THE YEAR IN COLLEGE 2019-20

13

of putting worshippers at risk. So for the whole of Easter Term, starting from Easter Day, I did what I was once convinced I never would, should, or could, do, as a priest in the Church of England – celebrate holy communion without a congregation present.

The Book of Common Prayer expressly forbids it. But lockdown changed history in lots of ways; and a celebration of the eucharist from my dining room at home, uploaded to Youtube, was the best I could manage. That, and the prayer resources which I offered on the Chapel website, were the only way I had (having a rather primitive understanding of technology) of reaching out. But I have to trust that they were better than nothing.

From the start of Easter Term 2020, Mr Matthew Martin arrived to take over from Paul Brough as Precentor. A more stressful and difficult start to what we hope will be a long and happy time at Caius would be hard to imagine. But he got to work at once on a plan to bring Chapel into peoples’ homes and make it available to Caians the world over. Not all change is for the worse.

The Commemoration of Benefactors Sermon 2019 was preached by the Right Revd Jeremy Taylor (Caian, 1613-1667), presented by Joseph Ashmore, Fellow.

The Choir

Paul Brough, Acting Precentor, writes: As I write this, we are three weeks into what has become referred to as ‘the lockdown’.

Caius Choir chirped its last notes to date on Thursday 12 March 2020. It is my fervent prayer that by the time you read this the choir will be chirping merrily again under splendid Precentor Martin. The Master wrote in one of her first Covid-19 messages to College that we have survived wars and plagues and crises over the centuries and this shall surely be no different in the end. Amen to that.

Recruitment of these choirs is a constant battle, but I am pleased to report that we stewarded those first two terms of the academic year with 8 sopranos, 5 altos, 4 tenors and 6 basses. The organ scholars, Kyoko Canaway and Tammas Slater, were splendid, and I should make particular mention of Kyoko who, playing to the standard of a professional assistant organist, made my job so much more of a pleasure and less of a worry. Gemma Taylor was Senior Choral Exhibitioner, a model of collegiality and kindness. Whilst thanks are in my mind, it was a treat to work with administrator Claire Wheeler. Nobody is indispensible, but Claire has come the closest yet in my experience.

‘Everywhere, Should have a Claire’ was my Ogden Nash-style poem in praise of this most wonderful Caius asset. As to the Dean; we are old friends, yes, but this was a brief collaboration of great depth and meaning; thank you, Dr Hammond.

The year began with a combination of favourites and pithy starters. Precentor Wood featured a fair amount, partly because of the enthusiasm of the undersigned, but also to remind us how marvellously he runs on his home turf. All collegiate choirs experience teething at the beginning of the year – if their directors are honest – and so it was a salutary relief to have presented Rheinberger’s dense and complex 8-part Cantus Missae so creditably at the last service when rather simpler fayre had challenged us a little at the beginning of the run. It was a great pleasure to work with the choir on free-flowing psalmody, speech-rhythm and text-led expression and emotional range through poetry throughout our time. Those who had perhaps not experienced this before must have wondered when all that hard work would pay off, but were then rewarded by the enthusiastic comments of kind people at our Advent and Christmas services who were nourished by simple music sung meaningfully. Reaching the praying or tentatively enquiring pew-dweller is more crucial than edifying the aficionado, important though that is too.

Having plenty of time currently to write this article, I am resuming at this paragraph in mid-June, many weeks after I began writing. The ‘Lockdown’ has just been relaxed

THE YEAR IN COLLEGE 2019-20

somewhat, but ‘distancing’ remains a norm and there has been no real movement towards a resuming of singing together, although there has been much opining and blaming. The choir has now produced two lovely items ‘virtually and in isolation’ on social media. The Michaelmas Term also brought other special liturgical events.

A Memorial Service for John West was held at which all the music was by Caian composers, and the Duruflé Requiem was given for the Commemoration of All Souls.

Both Advent and Christmas services played to packed and appreciative houses, and the Alumni Concert at the Grosvenor Chapel, nestling behind the London Hilton, was very well attended and received too.

Then suddenly we were off to Romania. We sang in Bucharest, Sibiu and Brasov where we gave Parts 1 and 2 of JS Bach’s Christmas Oratorio with the Brasov Philharmonic Orchestra. We were made so welcome in every way by the Noble family (Andrew Noble being ‘Our man in Bucharest’ and Max, son of Andrew and Helen, being a former Choral Exhibitioner). I must thank the Nobles on the choir’s behalf for absolutely everything, for it was a truly amazing trip.

Two happy joint services took place at the beginning of the Lent Term. The first was at Jesus and the second at St John’s. Their respective Directors of Music made us superbly welcome and the quality of the singing matched the social enjoyment. A particular success in this term was Corporate Communion, with many of the morning Chapel congregation expressing enjoyment of the choir’s offering of music by Clemens non Papa and Colin Mawby. The supper in the SCR that followed was a delight, and remains for me an affectionate memory. The Sequence at the end of term brought two large movements from Brahms’ A German Requiem to complement a marvellous liturgy based on The Beatitudes.

We were just off to London again to sing at St Mary’s, Bourne Street when ‘it’ all came upon us, and we were one of the earliest cancellations in the sadness that is now still following.

I am now over at Keble running their music from my Surrey laptop, and Matthew Martin has now joined Caius from a similar virtual position. I wish him (he who is so brilliant) and all of you countless blessings as we all pray for a new normal to settle as soon as possible.

On the day I was appointed director of music at Keble College, Oxford, I also signed the matriculation book of Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge. For that high honour, and the privilege of looking after what is now ‘our’ music, I thank you right heartily.

This year’s choir comprised 23 singers: 14 Choral Exhibitioners, 1 lay-clerk and 8 volunteers. There were 8 sopranos, 5 altos, 4 tenors and 6 basses. The Senior Choral Exhibitioner was Gemma Taylor and the Librarian was Helen Footman. Those holding named scholarships were as follows: Wilfrid Holland Organ Scholar – Kyoko Canaway Peter Walker Organ Scholar – Tammas Slater

Gonville & Caius Students’ Union JCR Executive Committee Report 2019-20

Lili Donlon-Mansbridge, JCR Vice-President 2019-20, writes: Whilst Omar El Oakely and I were President and Vice-President, we were, and continue to be, so proud of all the incredible work of the 2019-20 GSCU committee. Representing student interests can be no easy feat, but the whole committee worked tirelessly in their respective roles, and on our committee-wide campaigns, to bring about real lasting change in the College. So first of all, to all our fabulous committee members, and all those who supported and worked with us in different ways, we’d like to thank you so much. We hope you are as proud of yourselves, and the bits of magic you made happen, as we are.

Inheriting our positions from no other than Reiss Akhtar and Georgie Moore (GCSU President and Vice-President 2018-19) was both inspiring and daunting in equal measure.

We were both so humbled to be able to continue their work as student representatives, and, as cliche as it sounds, learn from the very best. The ongoing support and guidance they gave us in the role went above and beyond, and we are extremely grateful.

As every committee does, we kicked off with our Fresher Week, fastidiously organised by our brilliant Freshers’ Officer Shivana Agarwal. Freshers’ is always a lovely period in the College calendar, and Shivana’s warmth and energy made it really special. Her organisation of move in day was second to none, and her Guide to Caius for incoming students was informative and personable. Shivana’s successor, Alex Yao, continued her great work, redesigning our guide for International Freshers and diversifying our college stash.

Our Welfare team, led by Ella Hopcroft and Elliot Bealey played a huge role in our committee. Over the course of the year, they worked tirelessly to maintain and develop spaces for students to socialise and relax, keeping up the much-treasured tradition of Caius Welfare Tea’s, increasing accessibility to sexual health supplies and creating a comprehensive information sheet with all the support available for students. Aiding this was our Disabilities and Mental Health Officer Ashna Biju, who worked with the College to identify avenues and opportunities for better student mental health support. Ashna in particular played a huge role in the College’s eventual appointment of a dedicated Counsellor.

Our BME Officer Reyna Nayee took the challenge of holding a newly created position in her stride: our presidency was the first time that we had a fully voting BME Officer

18

on the Committee, rather than a co-opted role. Reyna worked with the College to create a proper mechanism for students to report racism-related incidents, a fundamental and much needed process. Her constant advocacy and hard work also included instituting unconscious bias training for porters. Reyna worked with Omar and our continuing Access Officer Christopher Deane to organise our annual BME Conference, a day-long event for BME prospective students, featuring talks, a panel Q&A and a formal dinner. Like all events organised by Christopher and the Access Team, the day was a huge success and displayed the very best parts of the Caius Community.

Christopher continued his excellent record as Access Officer further by organising and training student volunteers for school tours, admissions interviews and the CUSU Shadowing Scheme.

Establishing gender neutral toilets within the College was one of the biggest successes of our presidency, of which our LGBTQ+ Officer Flora Risdill Smith and Trans and Nonbinary co-opt Non Geraint should be very proud. Flora continued discussions across the student body and Fellowship, ultimately ensuring that all trans and gender nonconforming members of Caius have access to safe and inclusive toilets. Flora also held the first ever Rainbow Hall, a formal dinner in celebration of the queer community at Caius. She successfully campaigned on behalf of students for the Progress Pride flag to be raised twice during LGBTQ+ history month in June. We stand in solidarity with current students who fought for this important tradition to be continued and expanded, and look forward to seeing the Trans Flag, amongst others being flown proudly from our flagpole.

Francessa Hunt, our Women’s and Nonbinary Officer had similar success, working with the College to implement a codified and clear College Sexual Assault and Harrassment Policy, which was and continues to be a vital process for too many students. Francessa also continued the work of her predecessor in organising our second annual #CaiusforConsent campaign, which aims to raise awareness and tackle a lack of knowledge about the importance of sexual consent.

Ella Burns transformed the role of Green Officer to a position that was visible across the entire college community. Ella hosted ‘Scoop’, a zero-waste non-profit, student co-operative, several times at Caius, which was utilised by students and staff alike. She also started a college-wide conversation about how to encourage students to travel in more environmentally friendly ways, suggesting ideas such as subsidising student travel via routes other than air travel.

As the Food and Bar Officer who oversaw our temporary relocation to the Acropolis in Harvey Court Gardens, Dan Webb cannot be thanked enough. His attention to detail and drive to find solutions made what was a huge and daunting process one that students had a constant understanding of and voice in. Dan represented student concerns about walking to and from Old Courts after dark, and eventually managed to negotiate access for Caius students to the walkway via King’s. Dan’s work in this area,

as well as his continuation of student formals and super balls, made the difficult dining transition so much easier and more enjoyable.

No GCSU committee is complete without a fun-loving Ents team, and our year was no different. Our (Ent)Repreneurs Maddie Rose, Nazar Mohammed, Rita Dias and James Morris brought the organisation (and laughter) this mammoth role requires. They revolutionised the traditional college BOP by introducing themed events and hiring photographers, so students had lasting memories of the night. Our Publicity Officer Emma Klahr worked closely with Ents, as well as our Welfare and Liberation team, to advertise student events. As well as overseeing the introduction of a ‘Meet the GCSU’ series on social media, Emma resurrected and redecorated the Student Notice-board in our JCR, creating a central hub for student resources and information.

Our Housing Officer Christopher Jackson was capable and calm in a role that can have quite an overwhelming workload. As well as organising the yearly ballot via which students are allocated rooms, Christopher ran a comprehensive student consultation on the fairness of current room allocation systems, including the academic ballot.

Christopher constantly ensured that student voices were heard when it came to accommodation decisions.

As perhaps two of the most integral members of the committee, Secretary Freya Sackville West and Treasurer Mimi Zhao, deserve special congratulations. Without their expertise, we quite literally would have fallen apart, and run out of money! As secretary, Freya oversaw a student wide referendum on introducing a new GCSU role of Class Act Officer, an important and exciting modernisation of the Committee. She also championed the introduction of publically available meeting minutes and GCSU documents, democratising access to committee matters. Mimi implemented similar changes, clarifying and publicising college society funding criterias so as many Caius students as possible could participate in activities they enjoyed.

Both Omar and I are delighted to have played a very small part in all of these successes.

We wish current and future GCSU committees all the best with their projects and campaigns.

Amalgamated Clubs and Societies 2019-20 Badminton Club Caius Badminton Club runs recreational and competitive sessions, as well as competing with two Open and one Women’s team in the College League, playing weekly matches.

Recreational sessions attract around 35 Caians over all skill levels, whilst the team training sessions have allowed competitive players to greatly improve and achieve success in the 2019-20 season.

Over the past two seasons, the Women’s team have been promoted from Division 3 to Division 1, whilst the Open 1st team were promoted to (and unfortunately relegated from) Division 1. Caius also had a good Cuppers run, with the Open 1st team being the only non-seeded team to reach the quarterfinals and the Women’s team competing well in the round of 16. Given that the Open 1st and Women’s teams were in their respective 4th and 3rd Divisions at the beginning of the 2018-19 season, Caius has seen a dramatic improvement.

Big Band Society Caius Big Band was formed this past academic year from the remnants of the previous year’s band which formed to play for Caius May Ball 2019. We held auditions and filled most positions leading to a nearly complete big band – one of the most complete

Big Band Society

college big bands, certainly considering our almost complete Caius make-up. We have been having weekly rehearsals and associated socials and have developed from a rather rag-tag group into a cohesive band.

Events included the Caius Michaelmas and Lent concerts, Cambridge Law Society Annual Ball, Fitz Onions Christmas party and Cambridge Law Society Lent Gala.

Committee members were: President: Ben Clay Band Leader: Douglas Brion Social Secretary: Tarun Pass

Board Game Society The Board Game Society was started in October 2013 and has approximately 20 members in College, predominately now in the JCR community. Every week we will get around 8 to 12 members turning up to play games from 7pm to 11pm; we also hold an all-day board games event at the end of each term. We normally play a shorter game to start such as Avalon or Decrypto, then a longer game such as Betrayal at the House on the Hill, Blood Rage or Colt Express. We are a casual gaming society that welcomes anyone who wishes to play, regardless of prior board gaming experience.

Boat Club Henry Bennett, Captain of Boats, writes: Caius Boat Club is the largest sports society in the College. We currently have over 100 members. CBC is currently one of the strongest clubs on the Cam and has had some incredible successes and presence over the last year, both in Cambridge and on the international scale. Indeed, CBC ended the 2019-2020 Cambridge season by winning the Michell Cup – the award for the most successful college club on the Cam over the course of the year. The 2019 May Bumps were fantastic for Caius, with M1 reclaiming Men’s Headship, after having lost it to Lady Margaret BC in 2016. As well as this, W1 moved up to 4th in the Women’s First Division, putting them in a favourable position to challenge for headship in the 2021 May Bumps (since 2020’s May Bumps were sadly cancelled). Notably, M2 and M4 also achieved blades.

Following the end of the Cambridge season W1 and M1 looked towards Henley Women’s and Henley Royal Regatta respectively. W1 qualified in a competitive time trial to make it into the top 16 crews racing in the Aspirational Academic Eights category, where they were beaten by a strong crew from Cardiff University in the first round.

Meanwhile, after some incredibly impressive performances in nationwide regattas, the Stewards of Henley Royal made the decision to pre-qualify M1 for the Temple Challenge Cup (Student Eights), meaning they were exempt from the time trial. This achievement alone was extraordinary. M1 were drawn against Brown University, USA, in the first round and lost by 1 3/4 lengths after a good race. 2019 also saw an additional event in the Henley Royal Regatta Programme – the King’s Cup. This event was held to commemorate 100 years since the 1919 Henley Royal Peace Regatta and featured mixed crews from the Armed Forces of Australia, Canada, France, New Zealand, the UK, the USA, Germany and the Netherlands. The UK Armed Forces crew featured two Caius alumni – Flying Officer Christina Ostacchini and Captain Giles Moon (cox).

Following Henley, CBC athletes made up a significant contingent of students who represented Cambridge University at the Xi’an World Rowing University Regatta in China. M1 were invited to represent the University and the crew line-up was: Tara Slade (cox), Edward Nash, Calum MacRae, Ben Dyer, Andrew Marsden (CBC alumnus), Nathan Caplan, Ed Hackett (Hughes Hall, CBC Coach), Joe Nash and Sam Vosper (Magdalene).

CBC athlete Joep ten Wolde also coached this crew. Meanwhile, Caians Kate McDaid, Jessie Smith, Maria Stroyakovski and Nirupa Desai rowed in Cambridge University’s women’s crew, with Vera Kunz as spare.

Shortly after the Xi’an Regatta, it was announced that Melissa Wilson, who learnt to row at CBC, had qualified for the Olympic Regatta at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, where she would have been rowing in Great Britain’s Women’s Quadruple Sculls. Given the cancellation of the Olympics this year, we look forward to seeing Melissa race in the Women’s Quad next season, especially at the rescheduled Olympic Games.

Michaelmas Term Caius students were welcomed back with the ever-popular CBC barbecue, where freshers and non-rowing students are given the opportunity to learn to row, both on ergometers and on the water in eights. Throughout the day more than 200 students got out on the water and many were keen to continue rowing, laying a strong foundation for novice rowing in Michaelmas Term. In Queen’s Ergs, both NM1 (1st Novice Men) and NW1 (1st Novice Women) reached the A final, with NW2 also placing 3rd in the NW2 category. In Emma Sprints, both NM1 and NW1 reached their respective finals but finished 2nd. Continuing the trend, CBC’s novices were dominant at Clare Novices Regatta, winning all top four categories – NM1, NW1, NM2 and NW2. CBC

ended Michaelmas with wins in NM1 and NW2 categories in the Fairbairn Cup, as well as 2nd place for NW2, 3rd place for W1 and 4th place for M1 in the coxed fours category. Michaelmas also saw CBC’s W1 coxed four come a close 2nd in the multi-day University Fours Regatta. On the same weekend as Fairbairns, Caian Natasha Treagust represented CBC in the single scull at the prestigious Scullers’ Head, which sees single scullers race from Mortlake to Putney on the Tideway. Natasha came an impressive 5th in the Lightweight Senior Women’s category. Meanwhile, CBC alumna Iona Casley was the fastest lightweight woman overall and alumnus Chris Revell was the 3rd fastest in the Championship Men’s category.

Over the Christmas Holidays, we planned to head to Henley for our annual Winter training camp, however high flow rates on the Thames meant the river was closed.

Instead, we held the camp on the Ely stretch rowing out of the University Boathouse.

This week was a fantastic opportunity for keen novices and seniors alike to train hard and bond with new crew mates.

Lent Term The now ex-novices integrated well into senior boats to become key members of the crews and the whole squad trained incredibly hard with Pembroke Regatta and Lent Bumps in their sights. Sadly due to high winds, Pembroke Regatta was cancelled, which was especially disappointing given that Gonville Boat Club (the alumni club) had entered two high-quality crews and were set to retain their title in the alumni catgeory. Nevertheless, the athletes and alumni enjoyed the opportunity to catch up at the Pembroke Regatta Dinner. Lent Bumps saw some outstanding racing from all CBC

crews, with the most notable achievement being the W1 winning blades comfortably.

W2 were also set for blades, but an unfortunate crash on the Friday left them finishing up 2nd overall. Meanwhile on the men’s side, M2 started well with a bump on the Tuesday, but were unfortunately bumped on both Friday and Saturday to finish down overall.

M1 also rowed exceptionally well in the fight to defend the Lents Headship but were unfortunately bumped by strong crews from Lady Margaret and Pembroke Boat Clubs.

University Crews CBC has maintained its strong tradition of supporting athletes through the process of trialling for the University crews. This year marked a very special occasion, as it was the first year the Lightweight Women’s Boat Race was held on the Championship Course on the Tideway – another key step towards achieving gender equality in the sport of rowing. Even more special was having Caians Catherine Walker and Victoria Walker rowing in the eventually victorious crew, with Cambridge beating Oxford by 6 lengths after an incredibly exciting race. Notably, Catherine was also the Captain of the Women’s Lightweights for this historical season. Caian First Year Luke Andrews also rowed in the Lightweight Men’s crew in the 2020 Lightweight Boat Race, which saw Cambridge lose to Oxford by 3.5 lengths. Sadly, the heavyweight 2020 Boat Races had to be cancelled due to Covid-19 and Caius rowers were among those who unfortunately did not get the opportunity to race this year. Bronya Sykes was selected to row in the CUWBC Blue Boat – an outstanding achievement, given that this was her first year in the squad – and Catherine King was in contention for selection for the Blondie crew when the races were cancelled. On the men’s side, Ben Dyer was selected to row in the Goldie boat, while Nathan Caplan and Reef Boericke were due to race in the 3rd VIII+.

Easter Term Easter Term took place online and May Bumps were cancelled but CBC was excited to defend the Mays Men’s Headship and fight for the Women’s Headship too, with the addition of such a strong base of University athletes. Our rowers are all continuing to train hard and push each other at home, while meeting online for circuits and social events together. We are all very much looking forward to coming out of the other side of the pandemic as the strongest squad on the Cam and are eager to get back on the water in October or as soon as it is safe to do so.

Future Focus CBC is renowned for its dominant novices, which we produce consistently through a combination of high intake numbers and committed work from Lower Boats’ Captains and senior athletes who volunteer to coach. Fortunately, all who raced, or were due to race, for the University this year are returning, which will give crucial strength to the squads. Few of our current athletes are graduating this year so we are looking forward to some incredibly experienced crews next season. I strongly expect M1 to regain Headship in the 2021 Lent Bumps and to defend May’s Headship. I also expect to see W1 putting serious pressure on the 3 crews ahead of them in the 2021 May Bumps and I am almost certain that they will perform exceptionally in the 2021 Lent Bumps, given their strength as a squad and their starting position in 9th. Another successful year of blades for W1 is certainly within reach and this would put them in a position to challenge for Headship in the 2022 Lent Bumps. We have aimed for the last year to sell M2’s current, rather outdated shell. We would then purchase a new shell (most likely Filippi) for W1 and M2 would receive W1’s current Empacher shell, which is currently of too high a crew weight for our typical W1 crews. I will work closely with Senior Treasurer Jimmy Altham, Boatman Simon

Christian Union Caius CU is a group of Christians who aim to make Jesus Christ known in College. We meet on Saturday afternoons to study the Bible together and on Wednesday mornings to pray together. We want Bible studies and prayer meetings to be welcoming spaces for non-Christian Caians as well. We run outreach events, such as text-a-toastie, providing focused opportunities to engage with discussion about the good news of Jesus, and for us to share why we think it’s so important.

Caius CU have run two text-a-toastie events this academic year, allowing people to send in any question they have about Christianity/Faith/The Bible, and then going round to discuss them in person. This has prompted some really valuable discussions, and response to the event from non-Christian Caians has been really positive. Caius CU also took part in the CICCU’s Events Week in Lent Term, which involved an open invitation to the twice daily events, and having a focused week of prayer for the Caius student body.

Committee members were: Representatives: John Atherstone and Abigail Gilbart-Smith

Cricket Club We aim to make cricket accessible to everyone, from newcomers to those playing for many years. Throughout Michaelmas and Lent we have regular indoor training sessions and in the Easter Term we train on the grounds at Barty. We have a Cuppers

Cricket Club 2019-20 team and also play a wide range of friendly games with other colleges, touring sides and an Old Boys’ Team. We organise social events throughout the year and pride ourselves on integrating different members of the College. We have members from all years of undergraduate study, as well as Master’s and PhD students all from various backgrounds and subjects.

As one of the most successful Caius sports teams, with three Cuppers wins in recent years, we will be aiming for victory next year as well. Last year saw the addition of some very strong cricketers and with a couple of county cricket players holding offers for this October, we are confident we can do very well in the competition. Due to Covid-19 Cuppers did not take place.

Engineering (Nuts & Bolts) Society The Nuts & Bolts Society comprises engineering students at Caius, including those specialising in Chemical Engineering or MET. With about 60 undergraduates plus PhD students, there is a strong sense of community and we hold events to allow students to come together.

Traditionally a Freshers’ formal takes place at Michaelmas Term for members, including engineering Fellows. A successful substitute event was held in Harvey Court this year due to kitchen renovations. During Michaelmas welfare events were held for

Nuts & Bolts Society 2019-20 Dinner undergraduates. Study breaks are especially useful for first and second years as it gives them a chance to ask older years for advice on module and project selection, as well as internship applications, which can appear daunting. The black-tie Annual Dinner in Lent Term was popular with students and Fellows. This year Fellows devised a trivia quiz for students, a highly entertaining end to the evening.

Feminism & Gender Society The Caius Feminism & Gender Society (previously the Joyce Frankland Society) is a discussion group focusing on feminism and gender issues. We host external speakers, talks, workshops, discussions, reading groups, as well as social and creative events to provide a space at the University and in Caius where students can explore and discuss the many dimensions of gender, feminism and sexuality. Our events are open to people of all genders and sexualities and we encourage everyone to participate in discussions and ask questions. Over the last year our events have taken place most Wednesday evenings and are organised by the committee or volunteer attendees. We have an active presence on Instagram and Facebook and a blog on WordPress.

The society has succeeded in bringing members of the undergraduate community together socially, as well as providing a space for the discussion of experiences from female, LGBTQ+ and gender non-conforming perspectives. Our events have sparked excellent discussions, including questions around belonging and personhood provoked in the Navigating Identity talk. We have engaged with contemporary representations of gender and femininity in popular culture.

Our main accomplishment of the year has been our International Women’s Day event held at College, focusing on ‘identity’. It included a themed cafeteria hall and formal dinner, an exhibition in the Acropolis, live poetry performances, a DJ, the launch of a Zine and a panel discussion. This year also saw the 40th anniversary of women being admitted to Caius and the committee felt it was especially significant to bring the College community together both to celebrate and discuss experiences connected with gender and identity, both in terms of the progress that has been made and continuing difficulties or complexities that come with relating to one’s own identity.

Football Club Gonville & Caius Association Football Club has three men’s teams that compete in the CUAFL League and Cup competitions. In addition they have regular training and occasional team-building social events. The club keeps alive a great tradition of football at Caius, which includes competing in the FA Cup in the 19th Century.

The 1st XI came fifth in Division 1 of CUAFL, Quarter Final of Cuppers. The 2nd XI finished seventh in Division 3 in the first round of Shield, while 3rd XI came third in Division 5 and were runners up in the Vase. The club attended Good Lad Initiative workshops for the first time. They secured a kit sponsorship deal with Red Bull, produced by EV2. They raised money for Wings for Life and Show Racism the Red Card through charity runs.

Social events included a trip to watch Cambridge United and a bowling outing. Beat Brasenose for the third year running.

Frisbee Team New Thundercatz is an Ultimate Frisbee team based around Caius but including other colleges like St Catharine’s, Girton and Fitzwilliam. Although we played well in the College league we finished last during this year’s only Cuppers. Unfortunately we only had one event this year – a team dinner at the end of Lent – as the pandemic meant we had to cancel other events.

Hockey Club Elliot Bealey, Captain, writes: This year the performance of the club has been frustrating. We have had performances of an extremely high standard, however due to lack of numbers we have often ended up on the wrong side of some extremely tight games. The fact that with an average of seven players a week we have managed to hold stronger teams at bay has been incredible and should not be discouraging to the players. In light of this, we have still had a varied number of College members playing, with eight new players appearing at varying consistencies to boost the team, suggesting a bright future. In addition, a few of these new players have also been playing at University level which is even more promising for the future of the club.

Cuppers was similarly blighted, with one forfeit due to lack of numbers for the mixed game (the focus next year also needs to restore some balance to the mixed numbers)

but also with a very strong performance against Downing who we had beaten the previous week in the league in a very close (and again, outnumbered) game.

Lacrosse Olivia Crowcombe, Captain and Treasurer, writes: Caius Lacrosse is currently in Division 3 of the College league, where matches are organised on the weekends against other colleges, overseen by Cambridge University Mixed Lacrosse Club. Matches are generally short and very informal so they offer a great opportunity for anyone to get involved, try out a new sport and meet members of the college in different year groups.

Unfortunately, Cuppers this year was meant to be held in Easter term and so was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Our main event was as part of the sports day with Brasenose, our sister college in Oxford. We managed to field a team and encouraged many members of the College who had not already played before to do so!

Medical Society Studying Medicine at Caius can be very demanding. MedSoc aims to make students’ time here as relaxed and enjoyable as possible. We provide academic support, talks and events. Each year we hold the Ackroyd Lecture, which attracts an audience of about 50 students and Fellows. An associated Medical Scholarship endowed by the family of Harold Ackroyd VC was given to John Louca during this event.

We provided talks on getting started at Cambridge, revising for exams, choosing Part II subjects, clinical medicine and a talk from current student Alec Morley on intensive care. Other events included an Annual Dinner, Christmas party, welfare teas and lockdown quiz.

Our Sixth-year doctors have graduated and will begin their FY1 placements shortly, helping to fight in the Covid crisis.

A few members took part in the UAS Garden Relay, in which students across 12 squadrons ran 10,200 km, from RAF Lossiemouth, Scotland, to RAF Akrotiri, Cyprus, and back, raising over £20,000.

Musical Society (GCMS) The Gonville & Caius Musical Society (GCMS) encompasses different types, sizes and standards of ensemble, events, and opportunities for keen musicians at Caius.

In Michaelmas and Lent Terms, we host large-scale orchestral and choral concerts, offering opportunities for budding conductors and composers within the College, as well as musicians and singers. We put on termly Jazz events with professional players, which offer a relaxing evening mid-term.

We also host two performance series: the Recital Series (open to the public every Saturday lunchtime) and Scales Club (our informal open mic night for Caius students and Fellows).

Both are a great success and contribute to social cohesion within the society.

When not in the clutches of a global pandemic, our last ‘hurrah’ of the year is the greatly anticipated May Week Show, usually a light performance, a musical or a showcase, offering a performing opportunity to actors as well as singers.

Natural Science Society Caius NatSciSoc represents over 100 undergraduates reading natural sciences at Caius and we host social events each term, with an emphasis in the Michaelmas Term to warmly welcome new students to Caius. Our annual dinner takes place in the Lent Term where Fellows and undergraduates enjoy a meal together and listen to speakers from the academic community. We pride ourselves on bringing NatScis from all years and disciplines together and providing a space where undergraduates can offer advice and support to each other and potential applicants.

Politics Group The Caius Politics Society regularly hosts influential political figures to deliver free talks on the most pressing issues of the day, with previous guests including former Met Commissioner Baron Hogan Howe and MP Ken Clarke.

Uncertainty in today’s climate means that the society remains unsure of how we will proceed with events in the coming year. We have discussed options surrounding onlinehosted discussions and talks involving some of our speakers who were unable to make it during the past year, including Joanna Cherry and Nicola Benyahia. We will continue our recent move towards a more politically balanced selection of speakers, addressing concerns that the Society was regarded as being too right-wing in the past. As well as engaging with the obvious of how political ideas will change after the coronavirus crisis, we plan to discuss topics such as the radicalisation of potential terrorists.

Shadwell Society Last year saw the revival of our drama society and this year we have spent our time consolidating our position within Cambridge Theatre and funding even more exciting projects. Despite our relatively small endowment and our young age as a society, we continue to fund more projects than several other societies in Cambridge, maintaining our reputation as an important funding body. The society has yet to make a loss on any of the productions it has funded.

Productions included Beth (short film), The Lobster of Never Letting Go, Big Boys Don’t Cry and Deathtrap. In addition we co-funded a series of workshops with the Marlowe Society. These were fantastic opportunities for students to get professional training from companies such as Frantic Assembly, a world-famous physical theatre troupe.

We were set to contribute to the travel and accommodation expenses for students involved in Cambridge dramatic projects at the Edinburgh Fringe before its cancellation and this is something we will continue next year.

Women’s & Non-Binary Football Club Also known as the Warriors, we play matches every Saturday and unlike most College teams, train each week too. We welcome players of all abilities. Our team has significantly grown over the last two years which is a testament to our welcoming and supportive environment. We have introduced the Good Lad Initiative to the College, promoting safer, more equitable communities.

We had the highest intake of players this year, most of whom were beginners, but have now become footballers! We believe football is for everyone and want to continue to inspire people who might have never touched a ball in their lives to end up falling in love with the beautiful game.

We organised a trip to Wembley to see the Lionesses’ first game played there. There was a record crowd and it filled us all with such pride. We wish our younger selves could have seen the progression that the women’s sport has gone through.

Vice-Captains: Lily Danson and Abigail Gilbart-Smith Welfare Officer: Alice Beardmore Kit Secretary: Francesca Hunt Social Secretary: Ella Hopcroft Two seasons ago, we won Cuppers. Last season we were in the Plate semi-finals. This season was a bit more disappointing, we got knocked out in the second round to Churchill/Lucy Cavendish with a score of 1-0. We also were knocked out in the second round of the Plate by Pembroke. Last season we won the league and were promoted to the 1st Division and were top goal scorers in our division. Due to coronavirus ending the season early, we didn’t play all of our matches but as it stands we are currently 4th out of seven in Division 1.

The Senior Bursar’s Report 2019-20 Master and Fellows

Robert Gardiner, Senior Bursar, writes:

(108 - 109)

Introduction – Plagues1 The year was dominated by the coronavirus Covid-19 (Covid) pandemic. It affected the College in a way not felt for 200 years: it asked students to leave. The College had to send its students out of residence in 1815 because of fever. It had to do the same Nicolas in 1723Simcik for aArese smallpox epidemic. The consequences of Robert Gardiner Senior Plague Bursar in 1665 and 1666 DoS inare Architecture the Great more widely known and student absence was granted then. More worrying, though, is to reach back to 1593 when students were sent into the country but then there were recurrences in 1602 and 1605 when the College required or consented to periods of absence by scholars and Fellows. Plagues are not necessarily one-offs which neatly go away. We are by no means at the end of this pandemic and may still not be for some time.

Bursarially, plagues cost the College money in exceptional expenditure or loss of income: in 1625, ‘To the porter for his paynes extraordinary in the feare of the Visitation, 40s’ but across 2019-20 and 2020-21 I expect the loss of income to be in the order of £2.5m – and counting.

With that introduction, I comment on our published accounts summarised at the end ] ] ] of this piece.

Academic fee income – £3.9m (prior year: £3.9m) We had slightly fewer students but changes in the mix meant that we had a modest rise in fee income. This is the third year of the £9,250 regulated University fee for undergraduates. It continues to be eroded by inflation. We are, however, able to charge more to students from outside the EU. Graduate fees were increased by the University so the amount granted out of them to the colleges could also increase.

The figures include two significant sums: first, investment management costs which are substantial, particularly the costs of maintaining a large portfolio of investment property; second, accounting entries for movements in the overall funding position of the main 3000 pension fund, the Universities Superannuation Scheme. These pensions amounts can be volatile figures and a charge of £2.1m in the previous year changed to a gain of £1.4m this 1500 year as the USS pension scheme passed from one actuarial valuation to the next.

2019-20 was a year of significant changes across the Development team including the appointment of a new Director of Development, Dr Maša Amatt. Unfortunately the pandemic has curtailed trips and events which would allow her to meet alumni.

University Contribution – £194k The Colleges’ Fund aims to reduce disparity of intercollegiate wealth. Contributions to it and grants out of it are based on a number of factors including endowment assets.

Ours was the fifth contribution largest into the Fund. This year grants out of it may be used to support immediate expenditure rather than being added to endowments, which is the usual requirement. Therefore the College contributed directly to alleviate the financial difficulties of poorer colleges caused by Covid.

Balance sheet Endowment value – £218m (net) The endowment size is a function of investment returns, withdrawal for expenditure and donations to the College. The performance of the endowment over the last five years has been impressive but investment returns have been lower recently, in particular with some decline in retail and residential property values: Year ended 30th June

The graph shows significant progress to the objective adopted in 2015 of increasing the endowment to £300m.

Net of endowment borrowings, the endowment is the 5th largest of the colleges but Caius has a large number of students so it rates approximately 8th in terms of endowment per student.

Fixed asset and maintenance of the operational estate The major project undertaken in the year was the kitchen refurbishment, completed after the year end. The estates department maintains a regularly reviewed five-toseven-year plan of works. In some 4 years’ time the College will reach an important point where major refurbishment projects will have been finished, with the planned updating of the Aston Webb building (A to F St Michael’s). However it will not stop as by that point buildings currently thought of as new, like the Stephen Hawking Building, will be bound to require attention. Also energy efficiency improvements loom large as a cost consideration.

Reserves and trust funds The endowment represents the investment of free reserves and trust funds with specific purposes. The free reserves are c.£126m and have been used to absorb the financial impact of Covid. The College carries reserves to generate income to support the educational activities but also, like other charities, to provide a fund to see the organisation through difficulties. The use of reserves to absorb the Covid losses is entirely reasonable but the issue is then to reinstate them by judicious financial management to ensure that they are restored to protect future generations against the unexpected.

The College’s endowment includes over 200 funds for restricted purposes as shown below, the receipts from generous donors who have decided to support particular aspects of the College’s operations.

The conclusion is that the College’s cash flow has held up in spite of the loss of the Easter Term’s student rents and conference income. More generally it shows that the

46

FINANCE, DEVELOPMENT AND THE CAIUS FOUNDATION

College has the means to fund its capital refurbishment programmes but to do so relies on the generosity of its donors.

Financial strategy The College Council updated its financial strategy in the year which broadly reasserted earlier principles: • The endowment needs to increase to £300m; • The endowment withdrawal rate should aim to reduce to 2%; • Donations should be used to build the endowment and not to fund current year activities, other than the annual fund; • Donations will, however, be sought strategically to support specific restricted projects including capital projects and student support; • Domestic and catering operations should be funded by their annual income, such that endowment income supports the academic aims of the College; • The annual expenditure budget will include sufficient spending to maintain existing residences. Very large capital projects will be funded by borrowing from the Endowment or if appropriate from a commercial lender, or from benefaction.

Assessing the achievement against those principles: • The endowment has perhaps done well to mark time in a very difficult environment.

• Assuming no abatement for unrestricted donations, the withdrawal from the endowment was approximately 2.5% of its opening value – on the way to 2% but not there yet. For context, in 2013 the withdrawal was 4.5%.

• The abatement of the drawdown for major unrestricted donations means, in effect, that those donations have been used to build the endowment.

• The Development Office has redefined its strategy and fund-raising for specific purposes, in particular student support, is commencing.

• In the context of the coronavirus pandemic it has been impossible to break even on the catering and domestic operations; it has been necessary to use reserves.

• The College has borrowed half of the budget for the kitchen refurbishment, the largest current capital project.

Operational matters and staff The College would not function without its staff. I am indebted to them for their contribution to the successes of year under review. We try to ensure that they are rewarded appropriately for their work within the constraints of an operating model FINANCE, DEVELOPMENT AND THE CAIUS FOUNDATION

where costs out-run operating income and the gap is filled with a draw from the endowment. The staff pay award at the start of the year was 2.0% but for lower paid the increase was higher in order to ensure that staff were rewarded at a level which, after taking College benefits into account, reflected the Living Wage Foundation’s recommended level of pay for all permanently contracted staff.

The Senior Bursar also has overall responsibility for the College operations. The Operations Director, Jennifer Phillips, handles the day-to-day operations. Her work has been dominated by executing the kitchen refurbishment and managing the operational response to Covid. On both accounts her contribution has been outstanding. In December of 2020 we were delighted to admit her to the Fellowship as Domestic Bursar.

The practical phase of the kitchen refurbishment started at the start of the financial year. Practical completion was achieved in October: late but only because contractors paused in April and May while funding a way to resume in a Covid-safe manner. The alternative temporary facilities functioned well and the refurbishment has come in under budget. The operations team and Kitchen Build Sub-Committee have done an excellent job on a very complex project.

Every department made a remarkable contribution to the continued working of the College and the preparation for the return of the students in October. In many cases during the year staff had to endure going on furlough. I am grateful for the resilience and good humour which they showed during this, followed by courage in returning to workplaces which they had not seen for some time. I thank them all for making the College what it is.

Dr Maša Amatt, Director of Development, writes: As I approach the end of my first (calendar) year as the Development Director at Caius, it is time for me to write my first report for The Caian. It is always helpful to see what my predecessors have written, particularly when arriving halfway through a reporting year. So I find myself thumbing through old issues of The Caian to read about the Hall ‘full of the annual gatherings’; ‘long waiting lists for dinners’; ‘great number of donors enjoying the May Week Party’; noisy Caius Meadow Matthew Martin for the Mays; visits to Caians around Maša Amatt Precentor and Director of College Music, Director of Development the globe; and ‘another record-breaking telephone fundraising campaign’.

DoS in Music Nobody could have imagined how different 2020 would turn out to be! A meagre couple of months into my time in beautiful Tree Court, gathering speed in meeting alumni and getting to know what makes Caius ‘Caius’, life grinds to a halt. One event after another postponed, Spring visit to the United States put on hold and uncertainty everywhere.

This is certainly not the start of my time at Caius I envisaged or planned for, but it is a great fortune that I joined a wonderful community in the wake of such challenging times. Despite it all, you have welcomed me warmly and I am deeply grateful to you all.

Master’s Engagement Dinners – 17 November 2019 and 18 January 2020 At the start of 2019-20 the Master launched a series of dinners with the aim of bringing together key groups of Caians with shared interests for discussion over dinner in an intimate setting. Two such dinners took place in the first part of the year. The first one focussed on College finances and the guests had an opportunity to hear about it in a more detail from the Senior Bursar. The second reflected on the College’s continuing role in advancing medicine and medical science with Professor Patrick Chinnery as the guest speaker.

We look forward to continuing theseJennifer dinners once the pandemic restrictions are lifted.

same time. 33 Caians and friends of College joined us at Twickenham to enjoy lunch and cheer both Cambridge teams on to victory. Results: Cambridge (W) 8 – 5 Oxford (W) and Cambridge (M) 15 – 0 Oxford (M).

As Covid struck in March, we wanted to make sure that Caians remain connected without being overbearing as we are all experiencing the pandemic in our own, individual ways. I hope you enjoyed the fortnightly and now monthly e-newsletters.

Thank you to all of you who have responded to our various calls to action, in addition to unsolicited kind comments.

The 2020 edition of Once a Caian… will be the last edited by Mick Le Moignan (2004).

I have nothing but words of sincerest thanks to Mick. Normally, he would ‘up sticks’ to Cambridge for the summer, but this time around he masterfully put another excellent issue together from his home in Australia. Mick’s experience and kindness made all the difference while I was getting to grips with things from my home in the UK. While Zoom provided some sort of a substitute for face-to-face meetings, it quickly became obvious that events and our traditional telephone campaign would not be taking place any time soon. We therefore set about working closely with the Master, the Senior Bursar and the Senior Tutor to consolidate the previous few years and to develop a strategy for development and alumni relations at Caius. Much has been achieved despite the team itself undergoing many changes, further compounded by the pandemic.

I am grateful to all who have shared with me their experience and wisdom in the process: members of the Development & Alumni Relations Committee, Caius Foundation Board, Development Campaign Board, the Caius Club Committee and many others. It was hugely valuable to gather your insights and advice.

The key strategic move was the rebalancing of fundraising and alumni relations. My primary duty will always be to inspire and encourage you, our existing and future benefactors, to come forward and support the College, but I also believe that a strong alumni community is an important part of the Caius family. As a symbol of that commitment, we renamed the department the Development & Alumni Relations Office. In practical terms, we will be creating more opportunities for you to get actively involved; to celebrate your achievements and successes; and to share your experiences and expertise with current students and the wider Caian community.

In 2020-21 we will complete formulating our new case for support. In 2014 the College stated the aim of building the endowment to £300m. That still remains the overarching goal, but some strategic priorities are emerging through the College Council and determining our immediate fundraising focus. We are working with the Senior Tutor, Tutor for Admissions and Outreach, and the undergraduate and graduate tutors to

52

FINANCE, DEVELOPMENT AND THE CAIUS FOUNDATION

fine-tune opportunities for your generosity to have the greatest impact on the talented young people today and in the future.

Towards the end of 2019-20 we completed the transition of the Development Campaign Board (DCB) to the new Development Advisory Group (DAG). It is chaired

by William Vereker (1985) and will be fully up and running in 2020-21. I would like to thank members of the DCB for their steadfast support and commitment to the College, and especially to David Elstein (1961) for his gracious help in effecting a smooth transition. Like the DCB in the past, DAG will play an important role in augmenting the capacity and supporting the work of my team in strengthening Caius for the future.

Fundraising Report 2019-20 Thank you very much indeed for your generous support over the past year. You – Caians, parents and friends – joined forces again and I am delighted to report that we closed 2019-20 with £2.2m pledged and £2.4m received.

We have been exceptionally fortunate to be notified of two generous bequests: £0.5m by the late Kathleen Gale, widow of Kenneth Gale (1946) and just over £1.5m by the late John Haines (1949). Both were most generous benefactors in their lifetime and I am pleased to note that John’s widow Annie remains close to Caius. In these early days in post, it is humbling to face such dedication to Caius and commitment to enable it to thrive in the future.

The majority of the gifts you made in the past year are unrestricted (£1.3m), closely followed by various projects benefitting current students (£655K). Unrestricted giving is a good indicator of the confidence you have in the College’s management of its assets.

In turn, it gives the Senior Bursar greatest flexibility to direct funds where they are most needed. Caius continues to subsidise students through their time in College at about £5,000 per student per year, effecting a deficit of about £4m each year.

We have received new and updated legacy pledges from 22 individuals this year and we are recording approximately £52.4m in future legacy gifts. In addition, every year we are grateful recipients of bequests that we had not been notified of during our benefactors’ lifetime. In 2019-20 those gifts amounted to £102K. College is fortunate to receive very generous lifetime gifts from many alumni and friends who share the love of Caius and passionately care about the College’s future.

We are humbled by those who choose to share their fortune with Caius in their lifetime.

Alongside lifetime giving, bequests, large and small, have sustained and from time to time transformed the College.

The majority of us will be of modest means, with immediate commitments and family to look after. A gift in your will gives you a chance to have a transformative impact on future generations at Caius after you have provided for your loved ones. If you have decided to make (or indeed already made) a provision for Caius in your will, do please let us know. We would very much like to show our gratitude and appreciation of such a gift in your lifetime.

2019 Caius Fund Thank you very much indeed to 423 of you who responded to the 2019 Caius Fund call. This year’s appeal focussed on projects supporting undergraduate and graduate students, research and teaching in College, and, as usual, revolved around the spring telephone fundraising campaign and other fundraising activities throughout the year.

The total raised for the 2019 Caius Fund was £692K! Thank you for playing your part in helping us to exceed our £600K target. Reflecting the overall distribution of funds raised this year, the majority of gifts to the Caius Fund were unrestricted (£427K), closely followed by projects supporting current students (£208K). From the unrestricted funds we were able to augment the Tammy Chen Fund and make first awards from it to two MPhil students joining Caius in October 2020.

Our Annual Fund Officer, Marissa Green (2012) expertly led a team of student callers through the spring telephone campaign: Reiss Akhtar (2016), Issy Bruce (2018), Vika Chiffaudel (2018), Matt Coote (2015), James Darnton (2017), Etienne Dean (2018), Lili Donlon-Mansbridge (2017), Ella Hopcroft (2018), Chevan Ilangaratne (2018), Myles McDermott (2018), Lorna Price (2015), Naomi Sankaran (2017), Lucy Sibbring (2018), Rachael Steeles (2018), Gemma Taylor (2017) and Daniel Townsend (2018). Additional smaller campaigns were held at other times of the year to coincide with Chinese New Year and Thanksgiving celebrations in the US, for which the Development team was supported by Jemma Fendley (2016) and Pippa Morris (2016).

The Court of Benefactors There are now 648 Members of the Court of Benefactors; 16 Gonville Fellow Benefactors, eight of whom are Members of the John Caius Guild whose names are engraved on the College’s Benefactors’ Wall, 86 Founders of the Court of Benefactors, 69 Members of the Stephen Hawking Circle, 258 Full Members and 220 Associate Members of the Court of Benefactors. During the past year, the College Council has elected a further four Members of the Stephen Hawking Circle, and 11 Members and 14 Associate Members of the Court of Benefactors. A full list of the Members of the Court of Benefactors can be found on page 139.

THE YEAR IN COLLEGE 2019-20 QUINCENTENARY

Caius Club

Lizzie Aylard, Secretary, writes: The Caius Club was founded over a century ago to: • sponsor activities for friends of the College; • include any Caian who wishes to maintain links with the College, and its past and present members The club usually organises three events each year: an annual dinner in College in March/ April; a picnic on the final day of the May Bumps; and a London dinner around October.

Over the time period running from October 2019 to September 2020, the club’s social calendar fell foul of the pandemic. Any Caian can be a club member. Furthermore all club events allow members to bring a guest.

The London Dinner 2019 On Friday 4 October the club held the London dinner, once more at the Oxford & Cambridge Club in the Marie Louise room, a private venue well-liked by club members.

A champagne reception in the Drawing Room was followed by a three-course dinner accompanied by fine wines. The response to the dinner was excellent, with an inspiring after-dinner speech delivered by Amanda Tipples (1986), and we hope to expand into a larger room to allow for all interested members to attend once normal service resumes.

Regretfully, both the Annual Dinner 2020 and the Bumps Event 2020 were both cancelled due to the pandemic.

Caius House, Battersea

Delrita Agyapong, Director, writes: 2019 saw the young people of Caius House take part in a dance production at the Royal Academy of Dance. Caius House was feeling positive and excited for the year 2020, with a new strategy in place and a focus on the progression and the development of the young people entering the building. New positions were about to be advertised and the young people were engaging and benefiting from the activities, sports and education that Caius House was providing.

Roll on 2020, what a change for all of us! The staff at Caius House quickly looked at ways in which we could continue our services for the most vulnerable young people that we work with. This involved moving to online lessons for the learners on the education provision, online youth work sessions and activities, virtual walks from Lands End to John O’Groats and one to one phone calls and support for the young people in need. Caius House also worked with community organisations, schools and groups to support food delivery and food preparation. Groups used the Caius House kitchen to cook for numerous families. Caius House also provided classroom space for a local school so that they were able to open in a Covid safe way.

The Caius House nursery, Little Keys, opened as soon as allowed to ensure the children could get back to some kind of normality. They provided the children with a place to go and be with friends and gave the parents some time too.

Caius House was able to offer a 4-week summer provision for children on free school meals, it was great to see the building full of young people again socialising and getting involved with the activities. This was before the schools had returned which made it even more special. Young people were able to create their own t-shirts, get active and create art. We were able to take the young people on trips. We went to a farm to collect strawberries that we then made into jam. This was to compete against the other young clubs in a virtual bake off. We also went on the speed boats along the River Thames which was brilliant!

Just before the Winter lockdown we were able to create a magical santa’s grotto for the young people and children to enjoy. Presents had been donated so all the children left with a gift and identified families were given a welcomed Christmas hamper full of essentials. We were keen to offer the services that were needed in the community and adapt and flex where needed to provide the best uses for the resources that we had.

What we did notice was the number of young people letting us know that they were struggling with poor mental health during this pandemic and Caius House will be looking to address this by providing counselling sessions for the young people to be referred to in a safe space that is familiar with them.

I am so proud of the wonderful staff team at Caius House and Little Keys Nursery for how they adapted, supported and dealt with all that happened in the 2019-20 year.

We are looking forward to continuing to support the local community in Battersea for the coming year.

Caius Lodge

Richard Field (1969), Secretary writes: In November 2019, we held our regular meeting at Freemason’s Hall, Great Queen Street, London. Our ceremony on this day, was to Raise James Edwards (2013) to the Third Degree – that of a Master Mason – and this was superbly carried out by the Master. Later, a proposal was made by Peter Jennings (1962) to donate £500 to the College Choral Scholarships, which was approved. I was able to report that Sir Peter Radcliffe, under whom Miguel Hernandez-Bronchud (1978) had trained as a doctor, had been awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine – number 15 for Caius!

At the February meeting, again in London, our only business was to elect a Master and Treasurer for the ensuing year – Bob Kottritsch (1969) and Norman Wilson (1966) respectively. However, before this, we had joined the Old Tauntonian Lodge, of which Jack Eames (1954) is the Visiting Officer, for a short playlet about the Royal Arch, the companion organisation to Craft Freemasonry, and which is regarded as the completion of The Craft, or Fourth Degree.

Then, a month later, Covid-19 hit the UK and all Freemasonry was stopped by command of the Grand Master, His Royal Highness the Duke of Kent. Our June Installation meeting was cancelled and after a Past Master’s Zoom Meeting the Master and his Wardens and Officers were elected to remain in office for another year. The result of the lockdowns and occasional releases meant that a whole year was lost.

On a brighter note, we hope that in the near future (I write in June 2021) that Caius Lodge will be able to hold a ‘White Table’ dinner, in College, for the young men and women of Caius College who are interested in Freemasonry. We intend to invite an important woman Freemason and the Grand Secretary, Dr David Staples, if possible. If any Caian reading this wishes to find out more about Freemasonry they may contact me by email: rickfieldrj@talktalk.net, or by phone: 07526945766.

Obituaries of Fellows

BERRIDGE, MICHAEL (1961), 13 February 2020 Honorary Fellow 1998-2020 From the Physiology News Magazine (Spring 2020 Issue 118) Martin Bootman, Antony Galione and Colin Taylor write: Mike Berridge, pioneer, and mentor of the calcium (Ca2+) signalling field, died on 13 February 2020.

His discovery that the signalling molecule inositol trisphosphate (IP3) links receptor activation to generation of intracellular Ca2+ signals and his talent for seeing the big picture transformed our understanding of cell regulation.

Mike was born in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) in 1938, and his love of African wildlife, especially elephants, was channelled by an inspirational teacher into a lifelong study of biology. He graduated from the University College of Rhodesia and Nyasaland in Salisbury (Harare), and in 1961 he was awarded a Commonwealth PhD Scholarship in the department of zoology, University of Cambridge under the father of insect physiology, Sir Vincent Wigglesworth (known as VBW). Here, Mike investigated the metabolic and excretory mechanisms of the Malpighian tubules of an insect pest, the cotton stainer. He became interested in how these processes were regulated by hormones; and he imbued the VBW ethos of working at the bench without a large group, with simple equipment and elegantly decisive experiments, and with an astonishing breadth of knowledge across biology.

At the University of Charlottesville, Virginia and then Case Western Reserve, Cleveland, Mike pursued his interests in hormone action and, with no cotton stainers available, he switched to blowflies. While dissecting their Malphigian tubules, he noticed two long transparent structures, the salivary glands, and showed that 5-HT stimulated them to secrete the prodigious amounts of saliva that allow the fly to feed before it can be swatted.

During those early years with fly salivary glands, Mike’s neighbour at Cleveland was Ted Rall, who had isolated cAMP and helped develop the ‘second messenger’ concept with Earl Sutherland. With advice from Ted, Mike showed that cAMP also stimulated salivary secretion and that inhibitors of cAMP phosphodiesterases potentiated the effects of 5-HT. The work, published when a single decisive figure was enough for Science, led

John Treherne to invite him to join the Agricultural Research Council Insect Physiology Unit back in the department of zoology, Cambridge.

Here, working with William Prince, Mike used electrophysiology to show that two different 5-HT receptors controlled secretion; one receptor coupled to formation of cAMP, and the other somehow required Ca2+. They also observed, in 1973, that agonists of salivary secretion evoked oscillations in the Ca2+-dependent transepithelial currents, the frequency of which increased with agonist concentration. The observation was both prescient – it was another 13 years before Peter Cobbold reported frequency-encoded Ca2+ oscillations in single hepatocytes, and it inspired Mike’s interests in the spatio-temporal organisation of Ca2+ signals. Some thought Mike’s early interest in fly spittle to be arcane, but from 1975 onwards his reviews and expanding research base demonstrated his ability to range widely and thoughtfully across cell biology, and they presaged his later career when well-crafted reviews and lectures brought cell signalling to diverse audiences.

Although salivary glands needed extracellular Ca2+ for sustained secretion, they could transiently secrete in response to stimulation of 5-HT receptors without it. These observations implied that there was an intracellular source of Ca2+ that could initiate salivary secretion; but how did the 5-HT receptor stimulate release of Ca2+ from this intracellular store? Here, the blowfly salivary gland and Mike’s inspired use of it, proved decisive. Bob Michell, drawing on earlier work from the Hokins and others, had published a landmark review in 1975 in which he argued that breakdown of phosphoinositides in the plasma membrane, the so-called ‘PI effect’, was causally linked to Ca2+ signalling.

The gland is permeable to inositol and, during production of copious amounts of saliva, inositol is progressively lost, consequently leading to a reduced supply of inositol lipids on which the PI effect depends. Mike showed that during sustained stimulation, both the Ca2+-dependent secretion and the PI effect evoked by 5-HT were restored by addition of exogenous inositol. This work, along with other experiments, indicated that Ca2+ signalling was downstream of the PI response. He further showed, in what he described as his ‘eureka moment’, that inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) was the first water-soluble product of the PI effect. Hence, Ca2+ signals required the PI effect, and IP3 was the prime candidate for causing Ca2+ release from intracellular stores. By chance, Mike had recently heard Irene Schulz talk about her use of permeabilised pancreatic acinar cells to monitor Ca2+ fluxes, and Robin Irvine and Rex Dawson, phosphoinositide world experts, were only six miles away at Babraham. With Robin’s stock of IP3, Irene’s cells and her postdoc Hans-Peter Streb performing the experiments, it was straightforward to show that IP3 selectively evoked Ca2+ release from a non-mitochondrial Ca2+ store. The report in Nature, with just three simple panels and no supplementary materials, became a citation classic and its key findings were quickly confirmed in numerous cell types.

With IP3 firmly established as a ubiquitous intracellular messenger, Mike’s attention moved towards the physiological consequences of its activities. Mike collaborated with Roger Moreton in Zoology to build an imaging system, based on a design by Roger

Tsien, to measure Ca2+ signals in living cells. Such systems are now commonplace, but in those days it was quite an undertaking, and it paved the way to exploring the intracellular complexity of Ca2+ signals. Mike was fascinated by how Ca2+ signals are organised in time and space, how the complexity of their organisation regulates specific cellular responses, and what happens when IP3-evoked Ca2+ signals go wrong.

In later years, Mike’s considerable impact came through his creative assimilation of observations from diverse areas of biology, and not least from the many posters to which he paid close attention at every meeting. In influential reviews and lucid talks, each invariably illustrated with instructive cartoons, Mike developed new ideas around the actions of Li+, mechanisms for oscillatory Ca2+ signals, and tied IP3-evoked Ca2+ signalling seamlessly into diverse areas of physiology and pathology. The trademark clarity of his diagrams formed the basis of his authoritative online textbook on cell signalling, Cell Signalling Biology, which can be viewed online.

Mike took particular interest in the careers of young scientists, and we were fortunate, as his PhD students, to have benefitted directly from that. Mike enjoyed seeing enthusiastic young scientists advancing in their careers. He established an annual prize to support young scientists, and the European Calcium Society established a lecture in his honour. He was elected a Fellow of The Royal Society in 1984, as a foreign member of the US National Academy of Sciences in 1999, and he was a founding member of the Academy of Medical Sciences. Among his many international prizes were the King Faisal International Prize, Louis-Jeantet Prize, Gairdner Award, Lasker Award, Wolf Prize, Shaw Prize and Royal and Croonian Medals from The Royal Society. He was knighted for his services to science in 1998.

Throughout his career, Mike was supported by his wife Sue, who, with their son and daughter, Paul and Rozanne, shared the excitement of his discoveries and provided the rock on which Mike built his exceptional career.

CONWAY, JOHN (1956), 11 April 2020 Fellow 1970-87 Honorary Fellow 1998-2020 From The Guardian 23 April 2020 John Conway, who has died aged 82 after contracting Covid-19, was one of the most prolific and charismatic British mathematicians of the 20th Century. He was active in many branches of mathematics, including group theory, coding theory, knot theory, geometry, number theory and quadratic forms, as well as in recreational mathematics.

An iconoclastic academic, he held court for over half a century in mathematics departments worldwide, notably at Cambridge and Princeton universities. Although he thought it one of his lesser accomplishments, John is best known for his late 1960s invention of the Game of Life. It is an ‘organic life’ simulation carried out on a square grid of cells, each of which is alive or dead according to how many living neighbours it has.

Despite the simplicity of John’s defining rules, it turned out that anything that can be algorithmically computed can be done so within the zero-player Game of Life. While John’s approach was done with pen and paper, the game was a catalyst for computer programmers in the 70s and is now viewed as a watershed development in the field of cellular automata.

Together with Elwyn Berlekamp and Richard Guy, John is credited with co-founding the field of combinatorial game theory. That is the mathematical analysis of games such as noughts and crosses, draughts, chess and Go, as well as a wealth of original games that John and assorted collaborators devised over the decades, such as Phutball (short for Philosopher’s Football), a two-person board game played on a grid using one white stone (the ball) and numerous black stones (representing men), Hackenbush, and Sprouts. This led to a joint book, Winning Ways for Your Mathematical Plays (1982). In the early 70s, John came up with the definitive refinement of what is now known as the Monster Group. Groups arise from the study of symmetry of objects in mathematics and in nature. For instance, the group of symmetries of an equilateral triangle has six things in it: three rotations and three flips.

John often said that his proudest invention was the surreal numbers, a unifying number system that he conceived in the late 60s, which encompassed ordinary numbers as well as those that are infinitely small or large. He was also particularly pleased with the free will theorem in quantum mechanics from early in the current century, which he formulated with Simon Kochen. In his own words, it says that ‘if experimenters have free will, then so do elementary particles’.

Born in Liverpool, John was the son of Agnes (née Boyce) and Cyril Horton Conway, a chemistry lab technician at the Liverpool Institute high school for boys. John got his secondary education at the Holt high school for boys, Childwall, then went to Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge, gaining his BA in 1959. A PhD (1964) followed, under Harold Davenport. He became an assistant lecturer at Cambridge, later rising to be professor of mathematics. In 1987 he took up the position of John von Neumann professor of applied and computational mathematics at Princeton University, New Jersey.

While he was reportedly shy as a young man, over time John developed a disarming charm and an extrovert Pied Piper persona. He earned a reputation for delivering one brilliant lecture after another, and his classes at both Cambridge and Princeton were invariably oversubscribed. His infectious enthusiasm turned on generations of young people to the joy of research mathematics.

John was elected FRS, a Fellow of the Royal Society, in 1981 – following which he told people he was now officially a Filthy Rotten Swine – and was the first recipient of the London Mathematical Society’s Pólya prize in 1987. He was awarded the Nemmers prize in mathematics (1998), the Leroy P Steele prize for mathematical exposition (2000), and the Joseph Priestley award (2001-02), and received honorary doctorates from the University of Liverpool (2001) and Jacobs University, Bremen (2015). He retired in 2013, when he became emeritus professor at Princeton.

His first two marriages, to Eileen Howe and Larissa Queen, ended in divorce. He is survived by his third wife, Diana (nee Cutsogeorge), whom he married in 2001 and their son, four daughters from his first marriage and two sons from his second marriage; three grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

Peter Robinson (1971) writes: John lectured the algebra course in my first term at Caius in 1971. He gave the impression of discovering it all for the first time as he lectured, and it was fascinating to watch the subject developing. With hindsight, I realise that he probably hadn’t prepared the lectures, so he really was rediscovering it as he lectured. It also meant that I was forced to take rough notes during the lectures and write them up afterwards, which has proved an excellent habit.

I also had the privilege of being supervised by him. My supervision partner and I would turn up at DPMMS and find him playing a game or, more likely, working with colleagues on giant sheets of paper spread across the floor of the common room sketching out drafts of what I now know to be the Monster Group. We would then go into his office where the desk would often be piled high with the continuous printouts that computers used to use. He would look at it, sigh and then lift one end of the desk to tip everything onto the floor. The beauty of the Cambridge supervision system is that they can be tailored to the ability of the students. The only trouble was that he had a higher impression of our ability than was perhaps warranted. I usually came away having understood half of what he had said, but always came away inspired.

Three years later he reappeared to give lectures on Transfinite Number Theory in Part III. These were totally inspiring, although he probably was actually discovering the maths for the first time as he lectured. His lectures were wonderfully accessible to those who were not on his level. He would start with simple cases that were obvious while developing a notation that described them. He would then move on to the difficult cases where you trusted the results because you had confidence in him and his notation. This was demonstrated when he returned to Caius many years later as a Visiting Fellow and gave a series of popular lectures on sphere packing. He started in one and two dimensions (which are easy), moved on to three dimensions (which is harder) and then to 24 dimensions where it gets difficult.

Toys and games were all part of mathematics to John. He turned up at a party for undergraduate mathematicians and casually dropped a child’s box of wooden building bricks on the floor. ‘Oh bother, please could you put them back?’ There were 27 bricks, each 4x5x6, and the box was 15x15x15, so putting them back demonstrates the inequality of the arithmetic and geometric means. It is harder than you might think.

He was an early aficionado of the Rubik cube, importing them for resale from DPMMS. He also gave an after-dinner talk on how to solve it, peppered with his usual mnemonics (references to rugby as you twisted the right back...). At another dinner the talk was on his Doomsday algorithm for calculating the day of the week from a given date. As with all his lectures, both involved notes taken hastily (on the back of the menu) and written up carefully later on.

John always said that he didn’t want to be remembered for the Game of Life, but the cartoon at https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/rip_john_conway.gif is wonderful. His study of computation included register machines as well as cellular automata. His ‘Machine of Life’ has any number of registers (labelled with letters of the alphabet) and two operations to increment and decrement them, with a conditional branch if trying to decrement zero. Like the Game of Life, this is a complete computing system. But the best part is when you increment a register called A and say ‘Ay-up’ with a northern accent. I think I’ll remember him for that.

DAWE, ROGER (1953), 16 February 2020 Fellow 1957-63 Nick Lane writes: Roger Dawe was born in Bristol in 1934, where his father was an academic at the University. The Dawe family home was, as Roger liked to relate, in Beaconsfield Road, where Archibald Leach, later the actor Cary Grant, grew up. Roger was educated at nearby Clifton College before going up to Caius College, Cambridge. There he graduated in the first division in both parts of the Classical Tripos and won the Porson Prize ‘at a time when it meant something’, according to a junior colleague.

He was made a Fellow of Caius before obtaining his PhD and he retained a lifelong fondness for his alma mater.

His doctoral research (and his vintage Bentley) took him to various seats of learning in Europe inspecting the manuscripts of Aeschylus. This work was important in confirming that the then popular methodology of creating family trees of manuscripts and judging

78

OBITUARIES

readings based on their perceived ‘value’ and relationships, was misguided. From the outset Roger showed willingness to challenge orthodox views and he did so with gusto.

His writing style combined the precision of Sherlock Holmes and a wicked sense of humour. He could be harsh in his judgement of those who should have known better, but he also showed great kindness to those less well equipped to defend themselves.

Had he chosen a different career path he would have made an outstanding trial lawyer and cross-examiner.

Roger was elected a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1963, the year his first book, explaining his research on Aeschylus, was published. His early work later enabled his teacher and later friend, Sir Denys Page, to produce a new Oxford text of Aeschylus on a firmer footing. Roger went on to pay homage to Page by co-editing his posthumous Further Greek Epigrams. Having done not a little for the text of Aeschylus Roger turned to Sophocles and produced a three-volume study of his text and three editions of the German Teubner Text. With this author, whose company he found especially congenial, he proved to be a bold critic at the height of his powers. For students, Roger produced a commentary on the most famous of all Greek tragedies, the Oedipus Tyrannus. His publications earned him the highest degree bestowed by Cambridge University, the DLitt.

Roger’s travels took him on visiting fellowships to Harvard and Boulder, Colorado. He had a special affection for holidays in Portugal. It was during an early visit to Vienna that he met his future wife, Kerstin, who was pursuing her own studies there. He immediately fell in love with this Swedish beauty (although at the time, according to Roger, his ‘Swedish extended to “May I have a cup of tea?”, but not much further’) and they soon married.

Roger and Kerstin moved into a modest house in Cambridge. Two children, Simon and Susie, followed, and as the family expanded they moved into a substantial house in Bulstrode Gardens. A child-friendly white Volvo Amazon replaced the Bentley (although for some reason the normally unsentimental Roger kept its spare tyres in his garage). The fabulous Bulstrode garden gave Roger and Kerstin great delight and, even after Kerstin passed away in 2000, Roger kept their shared horticultural passion alive – latterly with the help of his gardener, Rachel.

His Sophoclean critical studies will remain of lasting importance and he now takes his place in the pantheon of brilliant editors and emenders of classical texts. It was fitting that at a 2007 symposium celebrating the bicentenary of the greatest of all critics, Gottfried Hermann, Roger produced a succinct discussion of his editorial technique.

Roger’s translation of Homer’s Odyssey, an edition of Philegelos (a collection of Greek jokes), and valuable notes on the texts of the Scriptores Erotici, reveal his versatility as a classical scholar. But for all the hardcore philology Roger took as much, if not more, pleasure teaching Polish immigrants English as he did undergraduates Greek.

In his spare time Roger was an avid reader and a fan of P G Wodehouse. Perhaps his greatest enthusiasm, though, was opera. He was equally in his element with HMS Pinafore or Verdi’s Otello, but Mozart’s Don Giovanni always came top. Roger was not keen on sport, except tennis. When Grand Slams were on TV, callers would be met with the brusque answer phone message ‘This is not Roger Dawe, but please leave a message’. He was a devotee of The Saint, but it will now never be known whether he auditioned for the role of James Bond.

Roger’s rapier wit sometimes courted controversy and he was not one to curry favour in the interests of career advancement. He could also be inscrutable, perhaps inevitably preferring cats to dogs, and for Roger, all cruelty to animals – which included homo sapiens, but excluded certain classical scholars – was quite intolerable.

Away from his academic persona, Roger was an unpretentious family man, his two grandsons being the apple of his eye. He was a big man physically and he also had a big if frail heart and lusty appetite. He will be much missed by those who appreciated his rare qualities.

He is survived by his two children and two grandchildren.

ELLAR, DAVID (1969), 21 May 2020 Fellow 1968-2020 David Ellar passed away peacefully at home on 21 May 2020 aged 80.

David was born in Middlesborough in 1939 and was educated at Acklam Hall Grammar School in Middlesborough followed by the University of Leeds where he studied microbiology and biochemistry. Upon graduating in 1963, he travelled to the University of Syracuse, New York, where he accepted a research fellowship in the department of microbiology. In 1967 he was awarded a PhD in microbiology from the University of Syracuse. During the following year he was a research associate in the department of microbiology, New York Medical Centre. In September 1968 he returned to Cambridge to take up the position of University demonstrator in the department of biochemistry.

David was also elected a Fellow and College Lecturer at Caius in 1968 and then was a Director of Studies in medicine in 1993. He became a University lecturer in 1972, a University reader in microbial biochemistry in 1993, and from 1999, professor of microbial biochemistry.

OBITUARIES

David’s research concentrated on four aspects of the molecular biology and biochemistry of aerobic sporulating bacteria (Bacilli) and especially their membraneactive toxins. These topics are: (a) the biochemistry and molecular biology of Bacillus spore dormancy and spore germination, (b) the structure, synthesis, molecular genetics and mode of action of insecticidal (Cry and cyt) bacterial toxins produced by Bacillus thuringiensis, (c) the design and construction of anti-tumour immunotoxins utilising bacillus toxins, (d) the molecular analysis of virulence factors in pathogenic members of the Bacillus cereus group. He was also interested in music, writing, painting, and wine – a passion that saw him become the College’s Wine Steward.

Many Caians will remember David with great affection as their Supervisor or Director of Studies. He was a ‘brilliant teacher’, whose ‘dry wit and humour made supervisions always fun and interesting’, and above all a ‘lovely man’ and ‘excellent supervisor’ who ‘inspired’ others to love biochemistry and academic medicine as much as he did.

David was a much-loved member of Caius and he is greatly missed by his wife Miki and his family.

The late Simon Maddrell (1964) wrote at the time of David’s death: I knew David well from involvements in nearly all he did, be it science, investments, the arts, dealing with Caius alumni or just because it was so pleasant being with him.

My research centred on insect epithelia, especially the equivalents they have to kidneys, called Malpighian tubules. We concocted the idea of using his bacterial toxin to see what effect it had on my insect tubules. The results were fascinating and we came up with a ‘rain drop’ model to explained why if we exposed the tubules to the toxin for a very specific time, the tubules were unaffected, but exposing them again so that the total exposure was now a little longer – even though an hour or so had passed – immediately the tubules stopped functioning. We concluded that the toxin molecules landed on the tubules’ cells and stuck where they landed rather like raindrops falling on a paving stone. Only when enough ‘rain’ had landed were there patches that were big enough to cause damage. In essence the toxin molecules, once they had landed did not move about and link up with other toxin molecules, but if enough landed close together they would indeed link up and make a pore through the membrane so the cells would swell and burst. Then came the advantage David and I had from being Fellows of Caius; at lunch in College you can be certain that whatever idea or question you come up with, there will be someone there who can answer your question or help or tell you where to go for an answer. We asked Anthony Edwards, another Fellow of Caius, if he could provide some mathematical help to see if our results were in line with our model. He was able to provide formulae and graphs to show that the time scale of the effect we observed was beautifully predicted by a simple mathematical model; very satisfying!

We served for years on the College’s’ Investments Committee. David was very good at asking simple logical questions about what we were doing in a way that made it clear to all of us what the real situation was and how we could hope to improve our strategy.

One of David’s passions was wine – and everything to do with running the College’s cellars.

I use the plural, cellars, advisedly! One year he and I decided that we needed to do a survey of every bottle of wine we had in store. I had thought that would be relatively simple. Then David revealed the scope of what I had agreed to help with. There were several different cellars at unexpected places in the College; I forget how many cellars but it was something like five or six. The number of bottles was huge; if memory serves me right, something like 30,000 bottles. So, laboriously we went through the entire collection of cellars underground – with their low ceilings and reduced light levels – and made notes on how many bottles we had of each type. Since it had been a long time since anyone had attempted such a survey, we found all sorts of discrepancies from what the College records told us. We found wines we didn’t know we had, wines where we had many more, or many fewer, than we thought. It took a great many sessions to complete the survey. Amusingly, shortly after, I was rung up by a national newspaper that wanted to know how many bottles of wine Caius had in its cellars. I replied that I couldn’t reveal that or it would seem we were the sort of college where Fellows did little else but sit around all day drinking fine wines. As a result I was quoted verbatim, much to my embarrassment, but they mentioned in passing that the number of bottles at the Bank of England was, shock horror, 8,000 bottles. Good job they didn’t get to discover how many we had!

I was in awe at David’s’ palate; he was one of those gifted individuals who could try a wine and come up with utterances like ‘I am getting liquorice and pepper, tobacco and a hint of cherries and ripe plums’ and be exactly right, whereas I had to strain to get more than a pleasant feeling from the wine. The result was that the College came to possess a wide range of very fine wines bought at reasonable prices from his religious attendance at nearly all the wine tastings that wine merchants put on in Cambridge and could pick out the winners unerringly. We are still benefitting from what he bought for the College. What a Wine Steward he turned out to be!

There was a happy result of David’s combination of his wine expertise with his contribution to the College finances. As Wine Steward, he was responsible for supplying the choice of wines to be drunk at the Commemoration of Benefactors annual dinners.

Since had built up a reservoir of exceptional wines, that was an easy task. But there was an unexpected and happy result from the selections he made. Several very large donations to the College came from Caians who confessed to having been so very impressed by the College treating them to such memorable wines that they felt they should reward the College by making very generous benefactions!

One year, he and I went to Twickenham for the annual Oxford & Cambridge rugby match in December with a group of Caians, alumni of the College, who had been

kind enough to donate very generously to the College. It was splendid to meet so many Caians that we remembered from their younger days. But my happiest memory was that we had paused by anotice proclaiming that here was The Main Cellar. We wondered what the contents of their cellar would be like. But then I realised that the words ‘Cellar’ and ‘Ellar’ are very similarly constructed and so I got David to cover over the ‘C’ in Cellar and took a photo to amuse ourselves.

MADDRELL, SIMON (1964), 10 September 2020 Fellow (1964-2020) From the Journal of Experimental Biology (2020) 223, Helen Skaer, Michael O’Donnell and Julian Dow write: Simon Hugh Piper Maddrell – Hugh after his father and Piper, of which he was very proud, after the sandpipers his parents heard on their camping honeymoon – was born in 1937, the oldest of five siblings. His upbringing on his parents’ farm meant that nature ran deep in his makeup, a seam he never lost and which must have steered him towards studying biological sciences. Biology wasn’t a given, because Simon was a very successful schoolboy and could have taken a variety of subjects to university level.

He was a scholar at St Catharine’s College in Cambridge and took the top first in Part II zoology in the Natural Sciences Tripos. But don’t think of him as a cloistered swot. He was an energetic and very successful sportsman. He was the Cambridge table tennis champion and was awarded a Half Blue for representing the university twice. He was a serious swimmer and keen squash player, and he was for a brief period on the UK shot put top 20 list.

Simon stayed on in the zoology department for a PhD entitled The regulation of excretion in Rhodnius prolixus Stål under the supervision of Sir Vincent Wigglesworth. This was not in fact his first association with Sir Vincent, who had stayed with his parents in about

1940, when Simon, aged 3, had been thrust unceremoniously into Dr Wigglesworth’s arms by Simon’s mother, who was busy trying to cook their dinner. Simon’s thesis was ground-breaking, with two single-author letters in Nature and his first JEB paper, which as Simon himself said ‘identified a new class of hormones in insects, which opened up a new field and revived work on Malpighian tubules that is still active now in many labs round the world’.

After a postdoctoral spell in Dalhousie University, Canada, he returned to the UK to take up a Research Fellowship at Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge, and in 1968 joined John Treherne’s ARC Unit of Invertebrate Chemistry and Physiology, also associated with the Cambridge University zoology department. This was a happy and productive time, with his one-man lab supported in turn by assistants Brian Gardner and John Overton, and Simon was awarded the Scientific Medal of the Zoological Society of London in its centenary year (1976) and became a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1981.

After Treherne’s death in 1990, the unit was dissolved, and Simon became an honorary reader in comparative physiology and an honorary professor of integrative physiology in 2003.

Simon’s research output was centred on the Malpighian tubules of the remarkable blood-sucking bug Rhodnius prolixus; but his interests in insects were much more general. He was fascinated by the neurohormonal control of diuresis and indeed wrote a small textbook on insect endocrinology, as well as influential reviews on the design of the insect neurosecretory system. His very last paper – in 2018, appropriately enough in this journal – theorized that endopterygote insects were more successful than the more ‘primitive’ exopterygotes, because their softer larval cuticle conferred selective advantages for growth, oxygenation and moulting. In the mid to late 1990s, he switched his interests to work on the Malpighian tubules of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, in collaboration with several other researchers in North America and the UK. This productive period greatly influenced the subsequent careers of many of his collaborators and the resulting papers gave us a detailed picture of the complex endocrine and intracellular second messenger control of multiple membrane ion transporters that are essential for insect ionoregulation and haemolymph homeostasis.

He was also known for a ground-breaking series of papers that detailed how the tubules play a cardinal role in the excretion of toxins, including insecticide metabolites, and elimination of nitrogenous wastes, and how these excretory mechanisms are regulated by the insect’s nutritional status.

For Part II undergraduates, Simon’s lectures stood out. He had an irrepressible zest for his subject, and – unlike many of his peers – worked hard to capture his audience’s interest and attention. He would distribute grainy photocopies (remember those?) of pictures from the literature that had caught his attention. A memorable example was a cross-section of microvilli, each packed with a mitochondrion, in a semi-crystalline ordered array. His enthusiasm and interests far beyond the immediate topic of discussion would extend to his tutorials. Simon was a wonderful PhD supervisor, in the old school tradition; he must

84

OBITUARIES

have been of the last generation that did not expect to be on their students’ papers. A PhD was for the student to execute, and he was available for guidance and support as needed. He met his students every few months, and he would be witty, enthusiastic and always have some new piece of biology that fascinated him. As a result, the progressively more urgent messages to get a move on could be overlooked. And so, when the inevitable happened and money ran out before the experiments, Simon came to the rescue again.

He had discovered that reprints from the publisher were ferociously expensive, so set up a cottage industry of impecunious graduate students to pick out the articles from unbound stacks of journals, push them into a pair of electric staplers, and sort them into piles ready to box up and send out to the authors. These ‘reprint evenings’ became a great party in their own right and will be remembered fondly by many graduates of the seventies and eighties.

Simon also was extraordinarily fond of words, languages and etymology. The Times crossword was ticked off, usually in just a few minutes, upon his early arrival in his lab each morning. Discussions of the day’s experiments with collaborators and visitors would often result in a phrase or a couple of sentences copied on to a clipboard, and these would gradually form the scaffolding for a manuscript that took shape months before the experiments were completed.

Simon was a numbers man. He delighted in the greatest and ‘mostest’ and his favoured method of measuring or demonstrating a trend was through a graph. His weight as he bulked up to become a UK top 20 shot putter, his cycle times during his road racing days, his impressive golf handicap – all were carefully quantified. He believed that the key to understanding was in measurement. This precision extended to his use of time. If a visitor were to surprise him, he could polish off a supervision or an experiment, force march them to his Audi Quattro, drive them at high speed to a rustic gastro pub, and arrive back with seconds to spare for a meeting with his great friend, Bob Prior, the groundsman at Cauis.

It should therefore be no surprise that he was a brilliant financier. He took on and developed the finances of the Company of Biologists from the 1970s for over 40 years, a period over which their assets blossomed many thousand-fold. Visitors to his lab over those years became used to the TV screen displaying by turn the currency exchange data and the stock market levels and would know that Simon always had half an eye on them so that he could act fast when the propitious moment came. Occasionally, he was persuaded to change the channel so that Wimbledon tennis or the cricket test match could provide the background as they worked in the lab. He continued to give valued financial advice to the Company and also to his college Caius until just weeks before his death.

If one word had to be found to sum Simon up it would have to be enthusiasm. Whatever he did, thought or engaged with, it was with tremendous liveliness and enthusiasm, whether his latest favourite daffodil variety, the wondrously cheap but delicious Spanish champagne that he would (and did) make a fortune on, his most recent novel

theory to explain why bees pee when they fly or a picture by Veneziano that he had just unearthed in a museum catalogue. It was this enthusiasm, along with his ability to communicate it and the sharpness of his mind that made him such a superb teacher.

For generations of students, his supervisions were mind changing. Summer faculty visitors from other universities could not only collaborate on projects but also recharge their creative energies through discussions of science with Simon that took place not just in the lab but on a walk in the nearby Gog Magog hills, during a game of darts or of par 3 golf in the long July evenings. With Simon, science was exciting, but most importantly, it was fun! He embraced life to the full, with many interests beyond the academic, which he shared often by organising others to participate with him in their enjoyment. He hugely enjoyed taking his family, friends and students for joy rides in his bronze Aston Martin, inherited from his father, who bought it on the back of a successful season of white clover. Simon ran a play reading club for many years at Caius, he set up a group of students who became expert at wine tasting (and buying), and he remained the president of the University table tennis club until very recently. As he became a more frequent resident of the Isle of Man, he started to win the daffodil section of the annual show so regularly that he was asked to become a judge; and he also helped to found and became the chairman of the Isle of Man Woodland Trust.

Simon married Anna in 1961, with whom he had four children, and after their marriage ended in the 1980s, he married Kate, with whom he lived on the Maddrell estate, Ballamaddrell, on the Isle of Man. He is survived by Kate, his children Penny, Robin, Joe and Sam, and his grandson Harold.

SAXL, JAN (1986), 2 May 2020 Fellow (1986-2020) Eulogy given by his wife Ruth at his funeral on 18 May 2020 Jan was born in Brno in Czechoslovakia in 1948, the youngest child of Hedda (née Treulich) and Otto Saxl, a paediatrician. The family lived in a hospital flat and he and his siblings, Petr and Noemi, amused themselves by playing practical jokes on their absent-minded father. Jan’s parents had both lost most of their families in concentration camps, and the Jewish community in Brno was small and close. One of his favourite family stories described his mother repeatedly kicking the rabbi under the table at dinner in a mistaken attempt to wake her husband who often nodded off on social occasions. As a teenager, Jan took up orienteering, mainly because it was one sport his brother did not do. This competitiveness lasted all his life – he never wanted to play chess or scrabble unless he thought he could

win! It was a multilingual family; Jan learned German through his parents speaking it when they did not want the children to understand, and through illegally watching television from nearby Vienna. His parents also spoke Hebrew, having lived in Palestine in the War, and his father spoke several other languages. Jan learned English from the Beatles and the Beach Boys and he learned Russian at school because he had to.

In 1966, Jan entered the university in Brno to study mathematics. Then in 1968, everything changed for him. Life under the communists had not been easy for the family, and in spite of the euphoria of the Prague Spring, Jan’s mother had sombre words for him when he left for a holiday in England: ‘Don’t come back if the Russians come’. They did. Jan was on the way home, got off the train in Frankfurt and returned to England, not knowing whether he would ever see his family again. In his absence, he was sentenced to prison as a deserter as he was due to do national service on his return, and so could not go back to Czechoslovakia until 1988 after an amnesty.

Back to 1968: he was welcomed warmly into the home of his cousin George, who had gone to England much earlier on the Kindertransport. Jan continued his studies at Bristol University where he spent two years completing a degree in mathematics and computer science – he said that the computer science was just so that he could avoid doing any applied mathematics! Jan’s sister Noemi and husband Pišta had fled to the UK after him, and in December 1971, his parents joined them in Manchester, where he loved to spend his holidays. This reunion was sadly short-lived, as Jan’s father, Otto, died one month later, following a hip replacement. After his degree at Bristol, Jan moved to Oxford for a DPhil in algebra; his supervisor was Peter Neumann, who became a lifelong friend.

After a Junior Research Fellowship in Oxford and a year in Chicago, where he lived with another part of his beloved family, the Ročeks, Jan moved to Cambridge in 1976, to a teaching fellowship at Downing. We met supervising each other’s students! In 1979, after a year as a lecturer in Glasgow, he returned to Cambridge as a teaching fellow at what was then New Hall, and we got married. Our daughter Miriam was born the next year.

Hedda, Jan’s mother, died when Miriam was only fifteen months old and he stopped speaking to his daughter in Czech, later saying mischievously that it was because her accent was so bad! In 1986 we moved house and he moved college again, this time to Gonville & Caius, where he was very settled and happy. He obtained a lecturing position in the pure mathematics department, and then a professorship in 2003.

This brief outline of Jan’s career tells us little about Jan the person. When we were thinking about what he really enjoyed, Miriam came up with a list of things beginning with M, and I will describe them in what I think was in ascending order of importance to him. Inevitably there is lots of overlap.

First of all, moučník – the Czech word for cake. He loved Czech food, especially cake, and especially cake cooked by the two Evas in his family. It was a source of regret to him

that his English wife did not produce a constant supply of freshly-baked Czech cakes.

There was some compensation for this in recent years as Bart, his carer, often took him to the local golf club for coffee and cake, as part of his much-valued efforts to provide daily stimulation and enjoyment for Jan. Then mushrooms – he had the Central European passion for collecting wild mushrooms and loved our autumn Sunday morning walks in Thetford Forest, when he would sometimes come back with a basketful of boletos. He collected in the mountains too – no slope was ever too steep for him to scramble up or down to retrieve a prize specimen.

And so on to music. After a brief attempt at learning the piano as a child, he mainly contented himself with listening, although he had a rich bass voice and frequently sang snippets of songs, when not whistling out-of-tune. Recently he was known to play a few notes on the piano and sing along in his music therapy sessions; on one occasion he even danced round the room! He loved going to concerts and continued to do so throughout his illness. Czech music was his favourite and he made no secret of his view that British music was somewhat second-rate by comparison. He really enjoyed opera, especially Czech opera, which HAD to be sung in Czech. He suffered greatly when I practised the cello – I used to do it when he was out of the house but this was not possible in recent years and he was uncharacteristically patient. He even said occasionally that it was good (it wasn’t, but I appreciated the gesture!). The Beatles remained a firm favourite, and as recently as last year, he and Miriam had a very special night seeing the Oxford Beatles. As in easier times, he joined in, and described it as ‘absolutely wonderful’.

Mountains: Jan grew up enjoying family walks in the Moravian hills. In exile, he transferred his affections to the Swiss mountains, and he was a very enthusiastic skier and hiker. He was the person who always wanted to walk up one more peak when everyone else was exhausted and wanting to go home. He absolutely loved annual family hiking holidays (which came with Czech food as an added bonus). His favourite mountain was Mont Blanc, called ‘Monty’ by him affectionately. When I worked at CERN in Geneva in the summer, we would spend wonderful weekends hiking in the Mont Blanc region. He requested that his ashes be scattered on Mont Blanc.

That brings me to mathematics. Being a mathematician was not just Jan’s profession – he lived mathematics. When he appeared to be doing something else, he was very often thinking about mathematics. He loved to disappear back to his office after dinner and at weekends to do some more thinking. At concerts, when not poking me with his elbow to make sure I had not dozed off, he would often fish his pen out of his pocket and write some mathematics on the programme – and if a restaurant had a paper tablecloth, or at the very least good quality paper napkins for writing on, he was pleased! His research was on finite groups, representation theory and combinatorics, in the higher realms of abstract algebra. He was an international leader in the field, writing more than a hundred papers and several books, and organising conferences all over the world. His love of

88

OBITUARIES

travelling fitted perfectly with opportunities for sabbaticals in Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Switzerland and Israel, and we had many a wonderful holiday tacked on to a conference in an exotic place. The finite group theory community was a second family to him and his collaborators became his closest friends – I mention Cheryl, Martin and Bob but there were many more. Jan was also an enthusiastic and effective teacher. He had perfect control of a lecture room of 200 students and would entertain them with jokes while communicating the joys of algebra. His handwriting was always rather a challenge, but some students must have succeeded in reading it as he was voted Lecturer of the Year in 1992. He was devoted to his research students and also to his undergraduates.

He was equally skilful at supervising highflyers and those who were really struggling; they all mattered to him and they rewarded him with tremendous admiration and affection.

The final M has to be Miriam, our daughter, who was the light of his life. Just her voice on the phone always brought a smile to his face, even when he was very ill. He was not always an easy father; the aforementioned competitiveness he felt for himself, he also felt for his child, and he found it difficult to see her make her own choices, especially as a teenager! However they shared a lot: a love of mountains, the Beatles, Thai food, taking the last chair lift up, and a silly sense of humour. She remembers with much happiness some really special trips he and she made together, in Wales, India, Malaysia, Singapore and Colorado. Though sparky, theirs was a deep and tender friendship, and she will miss him terribly.

Family was extremely important to Jan, even though most of them were far away: his brother Petr, his wife Míla and family in the Czech Republic, his sister Noemi, her husband ‘Pišta’ and family in the States, ‘uncle’ Honza and the rest of the Roček family, also in the States, his cousins Helena and Eva and their families in Switzerland, and his late cousin George and family in England, Norway and Cyprus. To go back to the M-theme, his older granddaughter is called Maya but the younger one, Eva, missed out on an M. He loved them very much, especially as babies – he was always ready to change a nappy. When he was ill, he found it difficult when they were noisy and jumped on him, as children do, but was always delighted to see them. One of his most frequent questions in the last few years was ‘When are the girls coming?’.

Jan’s later years were plagued by ill health. In 2007, he had endocarditis, which was misdiagnosed until he went to Switzerland on sabbatical; he had open heart surgery, with valve replacement and repair, in Geneva, and went on to recover well. In 2009, after the wedding of his nephew Peter in France, he had a blocked artery in his leg and became acquainted with the hospital in Toulouse. Most devastating of all was in 2012 when he had meningitis while at a mathematics conference in Brazil – this was followed by a cardiac arrest, psychotic depression, a stroke and then eventually vascular dementia. Jan bore his illness with courage and dignity – most of the time. He was understandably very frustrated by his limitations, especially the loss of his ability to do mathematics. In this last phase of his life, he mellowed and the family still enjoyed precious times together despite his illness, including trips to the Swiss mountains. We

were very glad that we were able to keep him at home until the end – this was due to a large extent to his carer, Bart, who looked after him for the last eighteen months, and also to Sue, who joined us for the last six months. He died peacefully on 2 May 2020.

So goodbye Jan, Honza, Ferencz, Daddy, Popa. You have enriched our lives immeasurably and we shall always remember you with love and with a smile.

SEALY, LEN (1955), 4 September 2020 Fellow (1959-2020) Dr Pippa Rogerson (1986) writes: Len was a devoted and much-loved Fellow of Gonville & Caius College. He had been a graduate student taking his PhD, encouraged by Robin Cooke and funded by the WM Tapp Fund, from 1955-58.

After returning to New Zealand for a while Len was elected a Fellow in 1959, joining Michael Prichard.

Together they were Caius law for over 30 years, also supervising for Newnham College (which had no law fellow until 1980). Len was variously Tutor, Senior Tutor, and Admissions Tutor. He was a longstanding member of the College Council in the 1970’s.

Len was active in promoting the admission of women students, and keen to find women to sing in the (previously male voice only) Chapel choir. Even after retiring Len continued to attend College General Meetings as a Life Fellow and took a lively interest in College business. He also played a huge part in the life of the Law Faculty, as editor of the CLJ, as chairman of the faculty, and in piloting the selection of Sir Norman Foster as the architect of the David Williams Building. In the latter case being utterly scrupulous as someone with a conflict of interest: Caius owned much of the land and also acquired the old Squire Library building as part of the deal. He gave the faculty the sketch which Norman Foster gave him of concept of the building. When a job needed doing Len would get on with it, unobtrusively and effectively.

Generations of law students benefitted from Len’s apparently casual and friendly teaching style: ‘Call me Len, and forget the gowns’ as Geoffrey Vos remembers from his time at Caius in the 1960’s. One shouldn’t be taken in by the informality: Len’s supervisions cut right to the heart of any knotty legal problem. He dissected it and resolved it with clarity and simplicity. His comments on essays, written in his beautiful hand, were kindly but stretching. He was an excellent after-dinner speaker, memorably regaling the post-tripos law students with bloopers culled from examination scripts delivered with impeccable timing. I’m not sure the examples weren’t fabricated, but never the same twice.

OBITUARIES

Together with his wife Beryl, Len was a wonderful host to both colleagues and students.

They both much enjoyed renovating old houses and planting gardens. His carpentry skills came in handy every time the family moved, which was suprisingly often – the last only a couple of years before he died.

Personally, I only returned to Cambridge (and Caius) to take a PhD with Len’s encouragement and support. It was typical of him to want the best for any of his students. That did not have to be high academic achievement or legal success. He was just as pleased when a student made the Blue Boat, or starred in a play, or became president of the CU Conservative Association or CU Labour Club.

The following is extracted from interviews with Len Sealey published in (2013) in Legal Information Management 11 Len Sealey was born on 22 July 1930 in Putaruru, North Island, New Zealand and was brought up in rural New Zealand. His father was a primary school headmaster, but his immediate family were farmers or engineers. The family moved to Stratford where he attended Stratford High School, but his education was compromised by lack of staff due to the Second World War. However he won a scholarship to go to the University of Auckland undertaking a combined BA/LLB course graduating in 1953. Whilst practicing as a barrister and solicitor during 1953-55, he also completed a part-time MA and LLM. His former teacher at the University of Auckland, Professor Geoffrey Davis, persuaded the university to put Len’s name forward for a national scholarship to travel overseas which he was awarded. Through Professor Davis’ friendship with Ellis Lewis the librarian at the Squire Law Library in Cambridge, it was suggested that as Len had chosen to study administrative law, he should contact Professor Emlyn Wade at Caius. Socially, life was stimulating as a graduate student, and Len participated in a range of activities that broadened his outlook, not the least of which was the opportunity to meet academics of other persuasions. He was, he thought, only here for a temporary break in his New Zealand legal career and would make the most of it.

In strong contrast, on his research project Len was in for shock as Wade was quite discouraging about his plan to study administrative law. His fellow-countryman Robin Cook had just finished his thesis on certiorari and in Wade’s view, Robin had ‘sucked the subject dry’ and there was no future in studying it further! So after abortive attempts to find possibilities in planning law, Len decided to fall back on his second interest, company law. This had not at that time been recognised as a subject fit for academic study, but Bill Wedderburn had just begun teaching a course on the Law of Corporations for the LLB. Despite this bumpy start, and under the guidance of Wedderburn, his decision to study company law was one that Len never regretted. This led Len to his pioneering work on fiduciary relationships in the management of companies and opened the way, over a decade later, for Paul Finn, whom Len supervised for a year, to give the topic more academic attention and write the leading textbook on the subject.

After being awarded his PhD in 1958, Len returned to New Zealand and took up legal practice once more, this time in Hamilton where he appeared in cases before magistrates and judges. He felt that this experience of law at the coal face did him a lot for his ‘street-cred’ when it came to supervising students later in his career. He had won the Yorke Prize for his PhD thesis and based on this he was offered a four-year Research Fellowship at Caius. Coupled with the fact that his relationship with his future wife, Beryl, whom he had met in his final year in Cambridge, had become stronger through long-range correspondence, Len decided to return to Cambridge in 1959. On his return he was offered an assistant lectureship in the Law Faculty and so there was no need to take up the research fellowship. However he was made a Fellow at Caius and thus his long association with the College began.

Len’s memories of the Law Faculty in the late 50s to early 60s are of a small community still regrouping a decade after the war. He remembered that there were only 5 professorships, three in specific areas, and ad hominem appointments were very rare.

Doctorates, too, were a rarity with few academic staff having PhDs and those with LLDs were a very tight group who were not at all keen to let others in! A good half of the courses in the Tripos were designated introductory, and Len was put to start on ‘Historical Introduction to the English Legal System’ and ‘Introduction to Contract and Tort’. He was soon given contract, tort and some commercial sections of the LLB to teach, and when Bill Wedderburn replaced Sir Otto Kahn-Freund as Cassell Professor of Commercial Law at LSE in 1964, Len had company law all to himself. By then he had been promoted to a full lectureship in 1961, a position he held until being appointed as the SJ Berwin Professor of Corporate Law in 1991 until his retirement in 1997.

At Caius, in addition to supervising, Len was a Tutor 1961-70 and Senior Tutor and Admissions Officer 1970-75. It was only in 1968, while he was Tutor at Caius, that he finally decided where his long-term career lay. During that year he spent six months on sabbatical at the Australian National University and up to then, Len and Beryl had kept the choice of his career between practice in NZ or teaching at Cambridge open, but they were forced to face up to a decision when ANU offered Len a job at the end of his sabbatical. Only then did they decide that their future would be in Cambridge, where they had a house and their children were established at school. The ANU watershed was auspicious in other ways, as it was there that Len began work on two of his most prestigious books – Benjamin on Sale and Cases and Materials in Company Law. During the next 24 years that Len remained a lecturer, he produced a further three books, all of which remained in print, going into numerous editions, well into the 21st Century.

When he retired in 1997, he had seven texts in print – a testament to the explosive growth in corporate and commercial law in an ever more globalised economy.

Finally during Len’s time as chairman of the Law Faculty, 1988-90, plans were started for the relocation of the faculty premises to the Sidgwick site. This involved

Caius who agreed to swap some land adjacent to the Sidgwick site for parts of the Cockerell Building including the Squire Law Library. In addition Len was involved in the appointment of Sir Norman Foster as architect. Although he was not chairman of the faculty when the building was started, Len took a great interest as the building was completed.

ANDERSON, JOHN (1955), 8 February 2019 John Anderson (his first name was Edward, but he was universally known as John) was born in Swanage on 21 September 1936. He grew up with an older and a younger brother, Bruce and Oliver, both of whom are also Caians, and a younger sister, Elizabeth. He went to Haileybury and from there to Caius, where he read medicine, with the history and philosophy of science. He then continued his medical training at the Middlesex Hospital.

There, in 1958, he met Andrea Burford; they were married the following year. John joined the Royal Army Medical Corps, and they lived in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Germany, where he qualified as a fellow of the faculty of anaesthetists in the Royal College of Surgeons. The family then settled in Taunton, where John joined the GP practice at Sussex Lodge, later French Weir Health Centre. He was to continue there until retirement.

John was a person of generous nature, inquiring mind, and great ability, and came to be central to the lives of many individuals and overlapping communities. He helped found the Taunton Association for the Homeless and was a long-time member of the medical campaign against nuclear weapons. Even when well advanced in years he took part in sit down protests outside Faslane nuclear weapons base, taking the view that as a former third row with a heart condition he would be a particularly challenging obstacle for the authorities to remove.

His interests were too many to list in their entirety, but included pottery, scubadiving, spinning wool from home-reared sheep, beekeeping, rugby (as a player well into middle age), tennis, chess, hill-walking, the environment (he planted woods and managed an extensive kitchen garden), music (a jazz trombonist and Renaissance viol player), and writing. He belonged to the Taunton Quaker Meeting. Above all he loved to be with his family, with Andy and all of his many descendants.

Since his early fifties, when he was diagnosed with heart disease, almost every doctor who expressed an opinion anticipated an early demise. The one dissenting opinion was that of Dr Anderson himself, whose prognosis proved correct. At the age of 82, however, he came at last to concur with the majority. A man who had read Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius with attention and understanding, he faced his mortality with a calm mind, sharing wisdom and love with those he was to leave behind. He died in Taunton on 8 February 2019. He is survived by five children, eight grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren, in each of whom you may see reflected some parts of his rich and varied character.

BERRY, ROGER (1951), 10 August 2020 His wife Letitia writes: Roger was born on 23 June 1931 in Ilford, Essex, son of Charlotte Berry (née Lomax) and Brian Berry – also a Caian. Roger went to a number of schools in Ilford, Buckinghamshire and Bristol as the family moved around the country in the Second World War. There was mention in his reports of his need to catch up in some subjects, but he seems to have managed to be top in most subjects. By the time he went to secondary school, he was a boarder at Clifton College, which is in Bristol, but was evacuated to a hotel in Bude, Cornwall. From letters he wrote to his parents in 1944, he seems to have enjoyed that experience and he stayed there until 1949, having secured a place at Caius College, Cambridge to read maths and economics. He played rugby and rowed.

He opted to do his National Service first, and was called up in Autumn 1949, going to the War Office Selection Board, where he was deemed suitable to go on to the Officer Cadet Training Unit. While there, in letters to his parents, he talked about buying a motorbike as it would make travel cheaper to justify the cost of £112-18-6d. By then he was a 2nd lieutenant in the Royal Artillery and was sent to Northern Ireland where he spent the rest of his time in the Army. When he started his National Service, the requirement was 18 months, but while he was serving, the period was increased to 2 years, so he went straight from the Army to Cambridge.

At Cambridge, as well as his studies he enjoyed some extra-curricular activities, including amateur dramatics, which even entailed some backstage work for the Footlights. When I met him in 1954 he had only one more term before he graduated and he invited me to a May Ball at Trinity College. He arranged some digs for me where I could stay and get ready for the Ball. A party of eight of us had dinner at a restaurant down river from Cambridge to which we travelled by boat. When we were ready to go back to the Ball, it was discovered that there had been flooding higher up the river and the floodgates had been opened so the flow was too fast to allow the boat to return! Roger and one of the other men had a taxi back to Cambridge and then drove their cars back to the restaurant to pick up the rest of us. At Trinity, they had hired a student’s set of rooms where we could all chill out when we were not dancing. Somebody started to play a piano in the room, at which point an irate young man appeared and complained about being woken up! Of course, having taken money for the use of his rooms, he wasn’t supposed to be there. After the Ball, we all travelled to Grantchester (by car this time) for breakfast, and eventually I went back to the digs to sleep.

With his education finished, he started looking for a job, and worked at a stockbroker’s, in time becoming a partner and a fully-fledged stockbroker. After National Service, Roger joined the Territorial Army, which required training one night a week, one weekend a month and a fortnight every year. He enjoyed that and staying on after

the requirement ended became a battery commander with the rank of major. He was also awarded the Territorial Decoration, and was then invited to become a deputy lieutenant of Greater London.

We were married on 25 May 1957 and so had 63 years together. We were fortunate to be able to buy a house immediately and moved into a new house in Epping. It was well built, but lacked any fixtures and fittings, so Roger set to and built cupboards and kitchen units and did some rewiring to make the lighting more convenient. As well as a lack of fitments in the house, the garden was extremely basic, providing a 3ft wide path along the back wall and then a field which sloped upwards. He laid a patio and built a retaining wall to level out the lawn, so when we left that house after 15 years it had a decent garden. When we bought the house, we could not afford the extra £240 for a garage, so he and Arthur, out next door neighbour, took on the task of building a pair of semi-detached garages between our two houses, served by a shared drive. We all reckoned that the foundations would have supported a double decker bus!

After fifteen years there, we moved to a bigger detached house which was two years old, and which presented many opportunities for his DIY skills to be used again. He built more cupboards, bookshelves, a porch, fences, trellis, a coal bunker and gates.

There was also the need for more rewiring, and he even helped the man who came to convert our gas supply from coal gas to natural gas. He was not only academically gifted but was also a super craftsman.

He was a great host – his gin and tonics were legendary!

CARDINAL, ROGER (1959), 1 November 2019 From The Guardian 26 November 2019, Charles Derwent writes: In 1972, Roger Cardinal wrote a book intended to bring to an English-speaking audience the French concept of art brut – literally ‘raw’ or ‘uncooked’ art – a term coined by the painter Jean Dubuffet to describe the work of the neurodiverse, then labelled more baldly as ‘mad’, eccentric or unworldly.

Cardinal’s own preference, as a book title, was to leave the term as it was. ‘You’ve got art nouveau and art deco,’ he reasoned with his publishers, ‘and now you’ve got art brut’. The publishers did not agree. After much to-ing and fro-ing, the compromise title agreed on for the book was Outsider Art. It was a term that Cardinal, who has died aged 79, never much liked, but one that attached itself nonetheless to his name.

His interest in the art of the marginalised had grown from another in French surrealism.

Here, in the dream states and automatic writings of André Breton and the rest, was pure imagination laid bare – the kind of thing that Rimbaud had talked of, the suspension of the superego and freeing of the id. At Cambridge – he had won a scholarship to 96

OBITUARIES

Gonville & Caius College from St Dunstan’s college in south London – Cardinal had written his PhD on the surrealist conception of love; a subject that his tutor, the literary scholar Douglas Parmé, had had to fight for his protege to follow.

Armed with this contentious doctorate, Cardinal was, in 1965, given an assistant professorship in the French department of the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada.

With him went his Swiss wife, Agnès (nee Meyer), whom he had met at a summer school in Lausanne three years before. Their first son, Daniel, was born shortly after their arrival.

If Winnipeg was enjoyable enough, it was far from the dark heart of Parisian surrealism.

When Cardinal heard, only two months after the fact, that Breton had died, he decided that he could no longer continue in Canada. In 1967, he returned to Britain, briefly to a lectureship at Warwick and then, for 50 years, to teach at the University of Kent at Canterbury, latterly as a professor.

Cardinal was born in Bromley, south-east London on 27 February 1940, where his father, Thomas Cardinal, was a lens technician for an optical instruments firm. Roger’s mother, Ada (née Melbourne), came from a large local family. He was a talented linguist and his first and greatest love was for German Romanticism. It was in the emotional excitements of Goethe and Novalis that his interest in the irrational was rooted.

His polymathy was well suited to Canterbury, the university having opened only three years before the Cardinals joined it. (Agnès would teach comparative literature there.)

Less hidebound than Cambridge, Kent welcomed such so-called ‘new subjects’ as drama, film studies and the history and theory of art. It also encouraged academics to move between these, and between cultures and disciplines.

Soon, Cardinal was inventing modules on ‘Madness’ and ‘The Absurd’. He also began to write books, on a range of subjects – Expressionism (1984), The Landscape Vision of Paul Nash (1989), The Cultures of Collecting (1994) – in a style at once passionate and lucid.

His own favourite remained Figures of Reality (1981), a study of the poetic imagination, well received (‘innocent and brave’, said one review) if too little read.

It was with Outsider Art (1972) that his name would be most strongly linked. Typically, the work’s British reception was chilly – ‘a hotchpotch of inferior stuff’ – sniffed the Times Literary Supplement. As Cardinal ruefully recalled: ‘The book was largely ignored.’

Not so in the US, however, where it quickly went into paperback, helping foster a local fascination with the subject that persists today. This was not entirely a source of pleasure to the man who, under duress, had invented the term. In a 2009 essay on outsider art and autism, Cardinal noted that the name had been ‘used and abused in a variety of ways, which have often compromised it’.

His interest in artists such as the violently psychotic Adolf Wölfli lay in their creativity rather than the sensationalism of their lives. Certainly, it did not lie in the resale value OBITUARIES

97

of their work. That outsider art should, since 1993, have had its own multimillion-dollar annual fair in New York ran contrary to Cardinal’s thinking on the term.

One of the few stipulations in his own definition of it was that outsider art ‘thrived on independence, shunning the public sphere and the art market’. ‘In the end there is really no such thing as outsider art, no more than there is such a thing as the general public,’ Cardinal wrote in the catalogue to Outsiders, a groundbreaking show that he helped curate at the Hayward Gallery in London in 1979. ‘There is only the ferment of individuality.’

Cardinal is survived by Agnès and their sons, Daniel and Felix.

DEAR, PAUL (1981), 11 March 2020 Paul Dear, former Group Leader in the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology’s (LMB) Protein and Nucleic Acid Chemistry Division, died on Wednesday 11 March 2020. Paul was most interested in developing new methods and technologies to improve research and information gathering, particularly in genomics.

Paul was born on 27 April 1962 and he studied natural sciences at Gonville & Caius College as an exhibitioner, graduating with a first in biochemistry in 1984. Before starting his PhD at Brasenose College, Oxford in 1985 he worked as a research assistant at the LMB with Greg Winter for a few months and was responsible for the synthesis of the oligonucleotides used in the creation of the first humanised antibodies. In Oxford, working with Professor Peter Cook at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, Paul developed methods for linkage mapping of large DNA molecules and was awarded a junior research fellowship at St Edmund Hall. In 1992, he returned to the LMB, initially as a postdoctoral scientist in Terry Rabbitts’ group, becoming a group leader in 1994.

He left in 2015 and set up his own research company, Mote Research, at Babraham, just outside Cambridge, and was the company’s CEO. Paul’s main area of research was in genomics, particularly the development of new technologies and techniques using single-molecule methods. This included genome mapping, haplotyping, sequencing of ancient DNA, and more recently, microfluidics and single-molecule DNA sequencing. His development of methods began from a theoretical analysis in his doctoral thesis, when he developed a new method for genomic mapping, the DNA fragmentation mapping method, essentially an in vitro analogue of classical linkage mapping, in which recombination and segregation separate linked markers with a frequency proportional to the distance between them.

OBITUARIES

His later research focussed on using molecule-counting methods to look at copynumber variations (CNVs), particularly in the early development of cancer. By looking at genomic variation in small clusters of pre-malignant cells, his group gained insights into the earliest events in carcinogenesis. The same approach was also used to look at cell-to-cell variation within normal tissues, and at the genomic alterations that take place in ageing cells.

From 1993 to 1998, Paul was also a consultant and instrumentation designer for Flowgen Instruments Ltd, and from 2013 was a molecular biologist at Base4 Innovation.

Paul was the recipient of various MRC Inventor Awards, and in 1998 was awarded the Max Perutz Postdoctoral Research Prize.

Outside of research, Paul had many interests: aviation, geology, naked-eye astronomy, electronics and robotics, and the piano. At the LMB he was also known for his wry and witty replies to general building-wide emails, for example, on advising someone who was asking how to eliminate black mould from their home, he suggested: ‘take two tablespoons of baking soda and about 250ml of vodka. Set the baking soda to one side.

Drink the vodka. Then move house.’

Greg Winter comments ‘I remember Paul with great affection, not only as a wit but as an extremely bright and original thinker, as well as a skilled experimentalist. Paul was immensely loyal and grateful to the LMB and to those who worked with him.’

He leaves his wife Denise and daughter Felicity, both fellow scientists.

DEWEY, JOHN (1960), 14 December 2019 Bernard Biggs (1960) writes: Mirror of the Soul was the title John Dewey chose for his widely acclaimed biography of the Russian poet Fyodor Tyutchev, a writer admired in his day by Dostoevsky, Turgenev and Pushkin, described by Tolstoy as his ‘favourite poet’ and by Afanasy Fet as ‘one of the greatest lyric poets ever to have existed on this earth.’ Published in 2010, it is a title with which the name of John Dewey is now identified and examines the life of a career diplomat and poet whose turbulent affairs closely reflected those of the country and century in which he lived. It was the first biography of Tyutchev to appear in English and has become essential reading for all students and lovers of nineteenth century Russian poetry. It was followed in 2014 by Fyodor Tyutchev: Selected Poems, John Dewey’s translations of approximately a hundred of Tyutchev’s poems.

John was born on 24 February 1942 and attended the Hounslow Town Junior School, from where he won a Scholarship to Latymer Upper School. He was an inquisitive and resourceful schoolboy, who, while still at primary school, taught himself to play chess,

made his own crystal radio set, and produced a more exciting version of The Eagle, the iconic boys’ magazine of the 1950s, complete with games and illustrations, which he would pin each week on the school noticeboards for all to read.

From Latymer Upper, John won a minor scholarship to Gonville & Caius College to read German and Russian, gaining an upper second in both parts of the Tripos. It was there that he discovered his liking for 19th Century German philosophy and for the poetry of Tyutchev whose themes evoked, as he would later write, ‘the joy, terror and mystery of our being in the world.’

He spent the year following his degree as English assistant at The Domgymnasium in Verden, Lower Saxony, where he also taught in evening classes and met his future wife Wilma. He returned to Gonville & Caius to study for a PGCE, spending his term of teaching practice at Tonbridge School. In 1965, he was appointed to teach German and Russian at Lady Manners School, Bakewell, Derbyshire. He married Wilma in 1966, and soon after began reading for an external MPhil at the University of Nottingham, with a dissertation on Fyodor Dostoevsky and Hermann Hesse.

In 1972, he moved south with his family to become lecturer in German and Russian at Poole College of Further Education, with a continuous secondment to Bournemouth School for Girls. He remained there for twenty years before retiring in 1992, devoting his time then to tutoring, writing and translating.

John was everywhere regarded as a quiet, gentle, composed and unassuming man, hugely intelligent and extremely witty in conversation. He had many friends and acquaintances, to whom he gave his unstinting support whenever it was needed.

He also kept contact with former pupils, one of whom, the Revd Nicola Vidamour, conducted his funeral service, having for several years previously corresponded with him regularly from Moscow. His wife Wilma accompanied him on visits to many major cities of Europe for his research and would assist him with deciphering old German manuscripts. They also travelled widely for pleasure, to India, New Zealand and Australia, Canada and Alaska, and in 2015 went to Finland for the Sibelius Festival celebrating the 150th anniversary of the composer’s birth.

His interests over the years included riding, cricket, walking in the Lake and Peak Districts, the Purbeck Hills and the Pyrenees. He had a lifelong love of classical music, was a Friend of the Buxton Opera, a supporter of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, and sang bass with local and county choirs. He especially enjoyed larger scale choral works and, while describing himself as an agnostic, greatly admired the language and rhythms of the King James Bible. He was a deeply spiritual person, strongly drawn to religious music and to the rituals of the Eastern Orthodox Church, requesting, for example, that excerpts from the Rachmaninov Vespers should be played at his funeral.

OBITUARIES

In addition to Mirror of the Soul and Fyodor Tyutchev: Selected Poems, John Dewey contributed translations to the series Glas New Russian Writing, among them The Nomadic Soul, a collection of stories by Irina Muravyova; a version of Pushkin’s narrative poem The Bronze Horseman (shortlisted in 1996/1997 for the John Dryden Translation Prize); Boris Yampolsky’s novel The Old Arbat, (nominated in 2006 for the Translation Award of The American Association for the Advancement of Slavonic and East European Literatures); and a number of verse translations for the 15-volume Complete Works of Pushkin in English.

He was twice winner of The Poetry Translation Prize awarded by the Journal of Russian Studies, and he contributed articles and translations to several academic publications, the most recent being his Four Funerals and a Tyutchev Poem published shortly after his death in the New Year 2020 Edition of The East-West Review. In recognition of his contribution to the wider understanding of Russian literature, he received a personal invitation from the Russian Embassy to meet the Ambassador.

John Dewey died after a ten-year battle with cancer and is survived by his wife Wilma, his son Christopher and his daughter Hannah, together with their families.

DIBLEY, RICHARD (1961), 27 April 2020 His brother Hugh (1964) writes: Richard died peacefully on 27 April 2020. He was born in Crowborough, Sussex on 10 December 1942. At that time he had a sister, Jennifer, and subsequently a brother, Hugh.

He was introduced to church music at the church of St Mary The Virgin, Willingdon at a very tender age, receiving tuppence (two old pennies) for each practice and service attended. At the start of each service, Miss Downes also a member of the choir, turned to Richard and said ‘Now don’t shout!’ and proceeded to warble at the top of her voice!

As chance would have it, Richard’s father, on a rare occasion travelling back from London on a train, read of voice trials for St Paul’s Cathedral choir 48 hours later.

With no voice training, Richard was ‘dusted off’ and taken to St Paul’s and was first reserve. The seed was sown and, subsequently, Richard was awarded a place at All Saint’s, Margaret Street, London at the tender age of 8. All Saint’s became a family affair; Richard’s brother, Hugh, became a chorister too and sister, Jennifer, taught French to the 16 boys after finishing work for the day as a secretary at the BBC. This was a springboard for a music scholarship to King’s Canterbury, and, in turn, for a choral exhibition to Caius. He started to play the violin at All Saints and, as he grew, was able to take over his grandfather’s violin. He was very left-handed but somehow mastered playing the violin ‘the correct way round’ maybe looking slightly awkward in the process! He played a very enthusiastic part of the Chapel choir with all that that involved in the days under Peter Tranchell as Precentor!

He read natural sciences at Cambridge and embarked on a career in industrial market research. He formed his own company, Planco Ltd and acted as a consultant economist working for The European Union advising on the value of the Euro in each member state which involved frequent travel to each country in turn.

His first wife, Maggie, sadly died of cancer and, many years later, he married Elvira who, by a cruel twist of fate, also succumbed to the same disease. Elvira’s daughter, Frances, became part of Richard’s life from a very tender age and he became a very loving second father to her and subsequently grandfather to Liberty and Magnus.

He made many close friends at school and at Caius and continued to perform in a singing cabaret act with Peter Brice and John West until very recently. Apart from music, he also had a great love of sailing and was a lifelong supporter of the RNLI. All his family and friends have wonderful memories of a sunny, charming, optimistic and helpful character. One of his sailing friends wrote ‘It was through our sailing together that I realised that, beneath the charm and courteousness was a man of steely resolve (battling on the foredeck in all weathers) with a great sense of loyalty’.

As a consequence of the marriage of Jonathan Horner to Jennifer Dibley, a total of ten family members were (or are) at Caius: David Horner, Jonathan Horner, Richard Dibley, Hugh Dibley, Rupert Horner, Charles Horner, Henrietta Horner, Fiona-Jane Dibley, Sebastian Horner and Lilac Courtauld.

He was a very loving and dutiful godfather to several who speak fondly of him. In at least one case, his duties extended to introducing his charge to the wonders of oysters and pinot noir!

He will be sadly missed; may he rest in peace.

DYKE, STEVEN (2001), 4 November 2019 Steven Matthew Dyke died on 4 November 2019 aged 36 years. He was born on Christmas Sunday 1982 and moved to Nottingham at the age of one. He attended Fernwood Junior School and then obtained a scholarship at Nottingham High School.

He gained a place at Gonville & Caius College to study mathematics. After graduating, he took a gap year to explore New Zealand, where he decided to take up residence after eventually obtaining work in managerial positions. He married Shannon in 2013 and had a daughter, Zoe, in 2016, to whom he was truly devoted. He is sadly missed.

OBITUARIES

FLOYD, BARRY (1949), 18 February 2020 His wife Jean writes: Barry Neil Floyd died peacefully at his final home in Rye, East Sussex, in the company of family so grateful to have been there to share the last days of his interesting, productive and widely admired life of 94 years. It was a treasured gathering of the two sons and three daughters, from Australia, Canada and the USA as well as the UK plus various attachments which very shortly would have been prevented by coronavirus travel restrictions. Much of his life story is one of being ‘On the Move and Coping in Difficult Circumstances’ and the tributes still arriving reinforce the awareness that he was admired by all who knew him.

A Londoner, with an older brother and younger sister and an electrical engineer father who had endured the horrors of the Second World War, Barry attended Mercers Public School in central London interrupted by a time at Rye Grammar School as an evacuee.

Lessons on returning to London were again disrupted because of a bombed tube line which meant assignments leading up to school certificate examinations were by correspondence. Instead of using his matriculation exemption to proceed into the sixth form he became a trainee cost accountant with the British Electric Resistance Company earning the princely sum of £1-50 shillings for a five-day week. Meanwhile he made daily collections of the ravages of bombings and became very interested in photography and aviation.

He attributed the fortunate direction of his life thereafter to the stroke of luck which led him to join the local 85th Squadron of the Air Training Corps which paraded down his street every Sunday morning. ‘By dint of smart drilling and a merit badge’ he was promoted to the dizzy rank of corporal. Better still he was later selected to attend a six month’s course in 1943 with the Cambridge University Air Squadron, prior to being accepted for aircrew training as a navigator with the RAF. These months included attending some geography courses for undergraduates.

In 1944 he travelled by convoy to South Africa where, under the Commonwealth Training Scheme, he earned his navigator’s brevet and a commission. Early in 1945, having flown the length of Africa his crew of 6 – all but Barry were Scots – undertook operational training in Palestine, Egypt and the Eastern Mediterranean covering many air miles on twin-engine Wellington bombers, then American Liberator bombers before joining a squadron in southern Italy just in time for the unconditional surrender of the Germans.

Barry and the pilot were soon heading on a Sunderland flying boat to join RAF squadrons in the Far East. No sooner had they landed in Karachi than they learned of the atomic bombing and surrender of Japan, so instead of joining a British occupation force in Japan Barry was appointed an education and vocational training officer, serving in three Southern India posts before sailing back to England in 1947 and completing his service time as education officer at a former Luftwaffe airbase in Germany.

It is not surprising, given his wartime (and Cambridge) experience, that he accepted the chance to study for a degree in geography at Cambridge thanks to the fee-paying and living allowance grant for returned veterans. An account of his undergraduate years appeared in The Caian 2011-12. Upon graduation in 1949 he proceeded on an American Fulbright scholarship to Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore for postgraduate studies and then to a cartographic post at the University of Minnesota where he received an MA in geography in 1951. This in turn led to a teaching post at the College of Wooster, a leading liberal arts college in Ohio where an English and history student who took one of his courses became his wife in 1953. They were married in San Antonio, Texas where her father was president of Trinity University, but returned to Wooster where Jean graduated in 1954 and produced their first child, Jim. The young family moved to Syracuse University in 1955 for Barry to commence studies for a PhD. A second child, Laurie, was bom there. Field work for the thesis was undertaken in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) where Barry served as a land development officer in the ‘Native Reserves’ recording implications of a Land Husbandry Act designed to improve crop yields, livestock and income for the farmers. A third child, Julie, was born in Fort Victoria (now Mashvingo). On return to the States the PhD was awarded in 1959.

But the thesis still has a life! Sixty-one years later it and the many subsequent papers and articles on African land use continue to be recognised. Via Google, a Zimbabwean scholar embarking on an updated history of African agriculture discovered Barry’s thesis and range of subsequent writings and, wanting to get in touch contacted the Rye News.

He planned to begin his history with Barry’s conclusions of long ago, commenting ‘His scholarship was really distinct; if only the Rhodesian government had listened to his advice Zimbabwe could be a different place today.’ Alas, he was too late to contact Barry but in due course the seeker will receive a print collection of Barry’s many relevant publications on land use.

Armed with his PhD Barry joined the geography department at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire where the fourth child, Valerie, was born, but when Michigan State University on behalf of the US AID programme was seeking staff for the new University of Nigeria, it invited Barry with his African experience to take up a post and the family moved again. Barry became head of the geography department until with the Biafran War imminent in 1966, the family was obliged to leave the country and went to the Floyd family summer home at Winchelsea Beach, East Sussex. Here Barry produced his book Eastern Nigeria; A Geographical Review and his wife produced their fifth child, Barrie, just in time to get him a passport for a voyage to Jamaica where Barry had been asked to establish a geography department at the University of the West Indies, Jamaica. The entire family spent six highly valued years in the Caribbean.

Barry travelled widely around the region, to the States, to an International Geographical Congress in the USSR, while Jean taught English at Jamaica College, then the University.

Barry’s book Jamaica: An Island Microcosm was published in 1979. The department grew and still flourishes and the bond has remained strong.

OBITUARIES

With the children approaching university age it was time for Barry to seek a post back in England and that resulted in his joining the geography department at Durham University, the largest such in England. Durham was the family’s base from 1972 onwards. With the children in college or school an opportunity arose for Barry and Jean to return to Nigeria in 1978, Barry on a four-year secondment to the University of Calabar where he served as professor and head of the geography department and dean of the faculty of social studies which included Jean’s department of general studies. In 1984 Barry took early retirement from Durham to support his wife in her new role with the centre for British teachers in Malaysia where she was co-ordinator for a UK-Malaysia programme to prepare 1000 students a year for British universities (there were only 41 at the time) A short period out of retirement saw Barry taking on the role of CFBT director for two years.

Jean, now involved with the College of St Mark and St John in Plymouth, moved on to setting up an English Language Teaching Centre in Kuala Lumpur which gave Barry the chance to promote his hobby of stamp collecting and write philatelic articles and books.

Philately was to be a main focus for the rest of his life, though he held other jobs in Plymouth, teaching geography and being seminar manager for the British Council International Summer Schools in Teaching English for Specific Purposes for which Jean was director at Maijons for several years. The Plymouth years also meant enjoying weekend walks across Dartmoor and along the coasts of Devon and Cornwall until an almost final move to the Floyd family home on Watchbell Street in Rye and then a final one in 2004 across the street with more room for visiting members of an ever-growing family, a large aviary and a south-facing view of the sea from his study window. Over the years, through memorable visits, even periods of study, Barry’s whole family had come to share his fondness for Cambridge and the retirement years in Rye meant Barry and Jean could attend Cambridge Alumni Weekends with ‘children’ (the first is now 66) sometimes joining them for special events.

In his later years in Rye, Barry supported the RAF Association and British Foreign Legion, wrote nearly 200 philatelic articles for a wide variety of publications and created award-winning thematic entries for international exhibitions as well as books. When his wife began writing memoirs of the family’s academic nomadism, Barry turned to autobiography, drawing on the diaries kept all his life and also produced illustrated articles such as A Wondrous Life: Final Reflections on a Well-Travelled Life.

What has touched his wife and family most deeply since his passing is the use of the same words in messages of sympathy sent from around the world by those who knew him whether as ‘boss’, colleague, student, friend, or neighbour. He is remembered as a courteous, kind, generous, stimulating-to-talk-with ‘gentleman’ (probably the most frequent word) with abilities to establish rapport quickly, to find ways of making or doing things better, and possessing a sense of fun – that most obvious in the presence of children (his grandchildren adored ‘the gentle giant’). A Ryer wrote this summary: ‘Barry Floyd lived a long life and made as much use of it as he could, giving far far more

than he ever asked for to those he loved, to those whom he helped so they could be and do their best and to society in general.’

GIBSON, JOHN (1959), 18 July 2020 His brother Tom (1952) with the help of John’s family and friends writes: John Alexander Gibson, was born in Edinburgh during an air-raid on 6 February 1941 and died of prostate cancer on 18 July 2020. He was one of five children.

His father, Thomas Gibson, was a general practitioner in Bradford and his mother, Winifred, studied natural sciences at Girton College. His father, brother, four uncles, an aunt, and several cousins were all doctors.

He attended Bradford Grammar school, followed by Loretto school, where he was head of school and senior under-officer of the Combined Cadet Force. John excelled at sport – in particularly rugby football – and was captain of the rugby First XV. He was later in the rugby First XVs both at Caius and at Barts.

He went up to Gonville & Caius in 1959, took a First in natural sciences and won several prizes. His clinical training was at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, where he much enjoyed the life of a medical student, including being a member of the prestigious and perhaps infamous Vicarage Club. There followed junior posts at Barts and at a number of District General hospitals, during one of which he passed the DRCOG. He returned to Barts as a lecturer and proceeded to his MD under the supervision of Sir Anthony Dawson.

He was then a rotating senior registrar to St Mary’s and the West Middlesex hospitals.

He was appointed consultant physician in Stafford in 1977. His speciality was gastroenterology, but the consultant body was very small then, and he was asked to take on rheumatology as well. He did this with enthusiasm and provided an excellent service for several years, but sometimes found himself in the strange position of prescribing medication in one field, the side effects of which required his services in the other. He built up his gastroenterology department with the help of a team of dedicated nurses all of whom just called him ‘The Boss’. The facilities were initially limited by the size of the old Infirmary in Stafford, but with the opening of the new hospital, he was able to set up a first-class endoscopy unit (now named after him). He offered the full range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and did so at all hours.

He was a true general physician and a highly regarded College tutor from 1979 to 1986.

It is said that ‘if you want something doing, you should ask a busy man’ and John was soon asked to represent his colleagues on a number of committees. He served on the

106

OBITUARIES

District and Area management boards and later, was a natural choice to be a board member of the Dinwoodie Trust, which is dedicated to improving educational facilities for the medical profession. From 1995 to 1999 he was clinical director for medicine and was then invited to be medical director at a difficult time for the hospital. Despite the burden of management, he never reduced his medical activities. He was successful in every field but did have one fault. His handwriting was idiosyncratic to the point that by his own admission, even he sometimes had difficulty reading it!

John was a regular attender at the British Society of Gastroenterology and the Midlands Gastroenterology Society for which he served a term as president. In the late 1970’s, with his single-handed gastroenterologist colleagues in Stoke, Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton he helped establish a ‘Gut Club’. This met regularly with all the trainees and as many nurses as possible, to discuss patients falling into the three categories of ‘what should I do now’, ‘this is rare’ and ‘where it went wrong’. The group also became a local research hub for clinical trials. The later established ‘Travelling Gut Club’ visited academic centres in UK and abroad where the local experts discussed their current research and clinical developments.

He was chairman of the trustees of the Katharine House Hospice 2006-13. He was not to know that they would repay him by their superb contribution to his terminal care.

He was loved, trusted and respected by his patients, colleagues and staff.

John enjoyed classical music, ballet, opera and theatre in spite of the fact that he almost invariably had a sleep during a performance. He was a keen and highly competent country sportsman, partaking in fishing, shooting, and skiing. On his first attempt at salmon fishing he caught an 8lb fresh-run salmon on his fourth cast! The fun of fishing with him was enhanced by his penchant for falling in. He loved and enjoyed his dogs.

It was poignant that the dog to whom he was closest died just a few days before him.

John was immensely proud of his family, and leaves Sarah, his wife of 47 years, a daughter, a son, and four grandchildren.

GILBART-SMITH, CARY (1962), 26 December 2019 His cousin George Gilbart-Smith (1961) writes: Cary Gilbart-Smith was born in Yorkshire in 1944 but spent nearly all his life in Surrey. The son of J B GilbartSmith, of the College (1933), he was educated at Elstree Preparatory School and Harrow School, and joined Caius with a major entrance scholarship to read classics. He gained a First in Part I Classics and then

read Part II English, graduating with a BA in 1965 and an MA in 1969. After his BA he went on to obtain a certificate in education in 1966, and during that year was captain of the College squash racquets. Throughout his time at Cambridge, as well as playing cricket for the College, Cary was a prominent tenor in the Chapel choir and an active member of the Cambridge Inter-Collegiate Christian Union.

In 1966 Cary took up a position at Charterhouse, where he spent his entire career, teaching classics and English and pursuing his interests in music, cricket and court games, notably racquets, where he was master-in-charge for many years. He is fondly remembered by former colleagues and pupils as an outstanding scholar, a dedicated and passionate teacher, and as one who encouraged many pupils in the Christian faith.

Beginning an active retirement in 2004, Cary continued to play cricket with a local club, and would be frequently seen not only at Lord’s and the Oval but also in London theatres, concert halls and opera houses. He taught New Testament Greek to those testing a call to the ministry on the Cornhill training course, wrote extended commentaries on common New Testament words, and translated a significant number of New Testament books and passages.

Cary never married but was known to his close family as a caring brother and affectionate uncle, as well as being loved and admired by his wider family and a large circle of friends.

GUY, RICHARD (1935), 9 March 2020 His daughter Anne Scott writes: Richard Kenneth Guy, professor emeritus of mathematics at the University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada died on 9 March 2020 at the age of 103 years after a short illness. He was born in Nuneaton, Warwickshire on 30 September 1916 and was educated at Warwick School and Gonville & Caius College where he read mathematics.

In the Second World War Richard served with the Royal Air Force, forecasting weather on the north Atlantic. He later taught mathematics at Goldsmiths College, London, the University of Malaya, and the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. In 1965, he joined the University of Calgary, Alberta, where he continued to work in his office up to two weeks before his death.

During his career he authored or co-authored about a dozen books on mathematics and over 300 scholarly articles in the areas of number theory and recreational mathematics. In 1991 the University of Calgary awarded him an honorary doctorate.

HART, HENRY (HARRY) (1941), 8 August 2019 His wife Diana writes: Harry was born in 1923 and he grew up in Birmingham. He won a scholarship to the city’s most prestigious school, King Edward’s. In 1941 he gained an exhibition to Gonville & Caius College. However his studies were interrupted by military service in the Second World War. He was in the Royal Artillery and took part in the D-Day landings in Normandy and fought in France, Belgium and Germany.

After the war, Harry returned to Caius to complete his history degree. He rowed and played rugby for the College. After graduation he qualified for a post in the Higher Civil Service and as a chartered accountant, he had a successful career in the Inland Revenue (now the HMRC).

He had many talents and interests and everyone who came into contact with him valued his wisdom, modesty, humour and adherence to his Christian faith.

Harry and I were married for sixty years. He died peacefully at home and is sadly missed by all who knew him.

HOLMES, ANTHONY (TONY) (1957), 3 August 2020 Born in October 1937, Tony grew up in Bowdon and Altrincham, near Manchester. His father died when he was only 9 years old. He then went to boarding school, Foremarke Hall Preparatory School followed by Repton School. He went up to Caius in 1957 to read history but quickly converted to law.

He made many enduring friendships at Cambridge. A group of them, ‘The Q Club’, were meeting annually for a reunion lunch until Covid interrupted in Spring 2020. By all accounts, he had a good time at Cambridge working, rowing and socialising. He had some great European adventures in the holidays driving to Greece through Yugoslavia and Albania when both countries were behind the Iron Curtain. Tony even hitchhiked to the south of France and found himself a job as a deckhand on a motor yacht cruising around the Mediterranean.

After Cambridge he married Sue, to whom he was happily married until she died in 2013. They had two children, Alastair and Lorna. Tony began his legal career at Ingledew Brown Bennison & Garrett, a City law firm, as an articled clerk. He soon became a

partner, focusing on litigation, mainly marine and commodities and his work took him all over the world. He had a great deal of personal charm and business acumen and was the senior partner of Holmes Hardingham Walser Johnston & Winter, a marine law firm, which the partners set up together in 1989. He retired in 2002.

Tony’s retirement allowed him to devote more time to his role as a trustee of the George and Sheila Livanos charitable trust, which he thoroughly enjoyed, supporting a broad range of activities from hospitals, medical research, mental health, and hospices, to arts and heritage organisations including the Watts Gallery in Compton, Surrey.

Watts paintings and sculpture and Victorian art were important to Tony. He was a keen supporter of the restoration of the Watts Gallery and was a regular participant in expeditions round the country to see Watts art in other galleries and private collections.

He is much missed by his two children, five grandchildren and his friends and former colleagues.

LYALL GRANT, IAN (1935), 29 February 2020 Extracted from The Times 31 March 2020 In a pause during the jollity at his 100th birthday party, Ian Lyall Grant gave a brief speech suggesting to his guests a regime for living to be a hundred based on the acronym Diet: diet, interests, exercise and talking, especially keeping up with old friends and constantly making new ones. His whole life was intensely and variously active as a traveller and explorer in wild places, engineer, soldier, civil servant, gemmologist, author and publisher.

Lyall Grant was awarded a Military Cross for his bravery in laying tracks for advancing troops and reconnoitring enemy defences in Burma during the Second World War. A moment of compassion on the battlefield inspired him to lead a movement for reconciliation after it. Finding a bundle of letters from home on the corpse of a Japanese soldier, he began a search for the man’s family. This led him to found the Burma Campaign Fellowship Group, bringing together Commonwealth and Japanese veterans in a spirit of comradeship and reconciliation, and finally to shake hands with the Japanese co-chairman on the site of the Battle of Kohima. The reconciliation achieved was marked in 2003 by the placing of a plaque in the church of St Ethelburga in the City of London.

Ian Hallam Lyall Grant was born on 4 June 1915, the third son of Colonel Henry and Lucy Lyall Grant. He was educated at Cheltenham College but also attended a Swiss school in Lausanne for a term to study French history. He found the battles of Crécy and Agincourt absent from a curriculum that made much of English defeats, confirming his view that history was a distinctly subjective business. While his father and two older brothers were artillery officers, he went to the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, intent

on becoming a sapper and took his Mathematical Sciences Tripos at Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge In 1938, in the early hours of a regimental guest night, Lyall Grant and three other recently commissioned sapper subalterns had decided to drive from Britain out to India to take up their postings. Their expedition involved a 7,000-mile drive over seven weeks.

Driving a Ford V8 station wagon, the party crossed Europe and the Mediterranean to Libya, then drove through Egypt, Palestine, Transjordan, Iraq and Iran to Afghanistan.

They carried no tents and slept either in the open or in caravanserais if one could be found. Apprehension arose only on the Iranian-Afghan border. Safety depended on the goodwill, indeed the whim, of the local warlord, but assistance in fording streams or being ferried across rivers was unhesitatingly provided. At Ghazni, on the final leg to the head of the Khyber Pass, the local chieftain was sufficiently concerned for the party’s safety that he had armed sentries posted outside the bungalow where they spent the night.

On arrival in India he joined the Bengal Sappers and Miners, an engineer regiment of long-service Indian volunteers. The isolation of Wana on the Northwest Frontier, where he spent his first year, earned him three months leave. He used it to lead an expedition through the Karakoram Pass to the source of the Shyok river and glacier dam. Three weeks in an uninhabited area of the mountains were followed by return over the Karakoram range via the saddle glacier of the 17,500ft Saser Pass. Photographs he took of the glacier were included in a report of the expedition written by Kenneth Mason, professor of geography at Oxford, which also mentioned an 18,000ft pass traversed in an area now claimed by China.

Returning to the Wana region with his son while the latter was British high commissioner in Pakistan in 2005, Lyall Grant was intrigued to hear that a recent Pathan ambush had inflicted casualties on an army patrol in precisely the same spot as had an ambush of a British patrol in 1938 — the only difference being that in 1938 the Pathans had used a camel train to cause confusion in the defile while in 2005 they used a convoy of Toyota four-wheel drives.

As part of the expansion of the British Indian Army to meet the demands of the Second World War, Lyall Grant was authorised to raise an engineer field company and, having trained it, to take it to Burma, which was then under immediate threat of Japanese invasion. He arrived in Rangoon on 3 March, 1942, only four days before the city was evacuated in the face of a Japanese advance. He led the company northwards to join an Indian division fighting at Taukkyan. Other desperate battles followed at Prome, Kyaukse and Shwegyn, as the out-manoeuvred Burma Corps of British and Indian troops struggled first to hold back the Japanese advance and then to walk back to India. Lyall Grant was mentioned in dispatches for the work done by his Bengal Sappers and Miners to keep tracks open, and for blowing bridges and leaving obstacles behind

during the retreat. Throughout the 1942 dry season his field company was based in Imphal making hill paths fit for Jeeps. When it was decided to build a second road from India into Burma through 200 miles of forested hills, his company was selected to construct the bridges and culverts through 15 miles of a rocky gorge.

Over a nine-month period in 1943 his company supported both the 48th and 63rd Indian Brigades in operations around Tiddim, destroying enemy bunkers and cutting tracks through the forest hillsides for ammunition supply while under persistent small arms fire and shelling. He was awarded the Military Cross in recognition of his personal courage and leadership during the most dangerous days of the Tiddim operation and those that followed in the Chin Hills in early 1944. He was again mentioned in dispatches for the part his company took in constructing a block behind the Japanese at the point where the Tiddim road entered the hills south of Torbung. At the end of the war Lyall Grant was in Japan with the joint British and Indian Army Division providing part of the Allied occupation force. On return to England he was briefly an instructor at RMA Sandhurst, before going to the Staff College in 1948.

In 1951 he married Mary Moore, known as Jenny. They had a son, Mark, a former British high commissioner in Islamabad and British permanent representative to the UN in New York, and two daughters: Sally, a retired teacher of children with special needs; and Charlotte, a retired physiotherapist. His wife predeceased him and his son, who was knighted in 2006, and daughters survive.

MARSDEN, KEITH (1951), 14 May 2020 Keith Marsden, an international economist and versatile sportsman, was born in Carlisle, Cumberland on 24 July 1931. He was the only son of Edwin Marsden, a wounded Second World War soldier and life insurance agent/superintendent and Marie Clarkson, a former telephonist. Following his father’s assignments to four Refuge Assurance Company offices, Keith attended six schools and lived in four towns/cities (Carlisle, Ulverston, Liverpool and Lancaster) before reaching the age of 18. Perhaps because of his itinerant early life, he sought the acceptance of his teachers and fellow pupils by performing well on the playing fields and in his classrooms. And this mobility and motivation continued throughout his working life.

He passed the 11-plus examination at a Liverpool council school in 1942 before entering Quarry Bank High School. He was awarded his school first cricket XI colours at the age of 13 (youngest ever), played as goalkeeper for the school under-15 football team for three years, and regularly won his age-group cross-country races.

In 1947, at the age of 16, he transferred to Lancaster Royal Grammar School. Again he excelled in sports. In athletics, he broke three school records and finished fifth in the national Public Schools mile race in London. He played regularly for the school

first cricket XI and opened the batting and bowling for Lancashire Under-19s against Yorkshire. Having never touched an oval ball before his arrival at LRGS, he also played on the wing for the school 1st rugby XV. He was offered a place at Gonville & Caius College to read history or economics without passing the usual college entrance examination or being interviewed by a Caius tutor.

Before going up to Cambridge, Keith undertook his National Service in the Royal Air Force. He was commissioned as a pilot officer and based at a recruit training station in West Kirby, near Liverpool. He toured Ireland with the Adastrians (the RAF officers’ cricket club), scoring 174 not out against a leading Dublin club.

Arriving at Caius in October 1951, he decided to read economics. He was fortunate to be assigned the Caius Senior Tutor, Stanley Dennison, as his supervisor. In his final year he also benefited from the analysis and advice of Milton Friedman, a Nobel Laureate in economics, who was a Caius Fellow on a sabbatical year from Chicago. He was invited to become a member of the Political Economy Club where he presented a paper on Soviet Economic Growth.

Keith also became heavily involved in university and college sport. He competed three years against Oxford in athletics and was awarded two Full Blues and one Half Blue. In his first year, running for the university against a representative English AAAs team, he broke the Cambridge ground and undergraduate records for the half mile. In his final year, Keith won the 880yds and mile trophies in the Cambridge Sports and was selected to run the mile against Oxford. Harold Abrahams, Olympic champion at 100 metres in 1924 described the race in a Sunday Times report: ‘In the mile there was one of the finest finishes seen for many a long day. Marsden of Cambridge took the lead closely attended by Dole of Oxford, who comes from the United States. All the way round the last two bends, Marsden fought off successive attacks by Dole, and it was only in the last stride, as Marsden plunged to the ground in his effort, that the Dark Blue snatched victory by inches. The time of both athletes was 4min 15.2 seconds, and both had run over 20 yards faster than ever before.’ Two months later, Keith lowered his PB for the mile to 4min 12.8 seconds – a new undergraduate record, in the match between Cambridge and the AAAs. He twice competed for combined Oxford and Cambridge athletics teams and represented Britain and the AAAs in international meetings in Scandinavia and the UK, beating the Danish and Dutch champions over 800 metres. He also took part in two tours of Scandinavia by the Achilles Club, the combined Oxford and Cambridge Universities’ athletics club, and later, as a supporter, joined Achilles tours to South Africa, Paris, and Italy.

Keith was disappointed not to get into the Cambridge cricket team against Oxford but he played for the University against Yorkshire and Sussex. He captained the Caius cricket team during his second year, and played regularly for the Crusaders, the University second team (including serving as captain during its tour of Holland in 1954). He also spent two long summer vacations playing and coaching cricket at a club near Utrecht.

After graduation in 1954, he joined Baker Perkins, an engineering group that made food processing, packaging and laundry machinery, and set up a market research function.

His first assignment was a survey of the laundry and dry cleaning industry. This involved taking a random sample of 160 firms (located in almost every county in Britain), and interviewing owners and managers about their choice of machinery. He undertook this survey alone, over a four-month period. His report to his firm’s Board of Management provided new insights into the industry’s technological policies and preferences. So over the next four years, he was asked to undertake surveys of the bread, biscuit, chocolate and confectionery industries in Britain, Holland, Germany, Sweden and Norway.

During one of these surveys, he met his future wife Denise Laboudigue, a French citizen working in The Hague. After a rapid courtship, mostly by letter, they married six months later at a registry office in Lancaster (the home city of his mother and sister).

The registrar insisted on having an interpreter, to ensure that Denise knew what she was letting herself in for! In the event, they were very happily married for 47 years, until her untimely death from cancer in 2006.

In I960, he joined Clarks Shoes, Britain’s largest footwear manufacturer and retailer, as its economic adviser. He wrote reports analysing trends in the footwear industry, and organised consumer market research surveys. He also gave talks to the British Shoe and Allied Trades Institute and published two articles in The Guardian – one on the role of economists in business, and another defending the practice of resale price maintenance.

In 1963 he was offered a post in Egypt, as a United Nations expert in economic surveys.

He had long been interested in Third-World development, so he readily accepted. In Egypt, he organised two industrial surveys in the Dakhalia and Aswan governorates, and wrote memoranda on the impact of President Nasser’s import-substitution and nationalisation policies. Then in 1965, he was invited to join the International Labour Office (ILO), a UN specialised agency based in Geneva. Over the next 13 years he was given a wide variety of assignments. He directed a three-week seminar/study tour on small-scale industry development in Czechoslovakia. Keith wrote six articles for the International Labour Review, including one entitled Progressive Technologies for Developing Countries. This provided the conceptual basis for a major ILO programme funded by the Swedish government. He took part in a High-Level Employment Mission to Kenya in 1971, during which he helped refine the concept of the ‘Informal Sector’, and to give it a more positive image in development aid circles, and among government policy makers. He was a member of the editorial team that drafted the ILO Director General’s Report to the World Employment Conference in 1976, the year when the ILO was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace. He undertook field studies of indigenous craft industries, and their policy and institutional environments, in Japan, Trinidad and Tobago, and Libya.

At the request of the World Bank, he participated in its economic mission to Jordan in 1971. During a full year’s secondment to the bank in 1973-74, based in Washington DC,

114

OBITUARIES

he led its Industrial Sector Missions to Ghana and Pakistan. After participating, on loan from the ILO, in further World Bank missions to Syria, Egypt, Portugal and Indonesia, he accepted an offer to join its regular staff in January 1979, as an operations adviser in the Industrial Development and Finance Department. Over the next nine years he travelled extensively in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Eastern Europe, preparing and evaluating WB-funded investment projects, and reviewing national economic and industrial policies.

He contributed to official World Bank reports to its Board and to governments, and wrote papers published by the Bank in his own name. His Staff Working Paper entitled Links Between Taxes and Economic Growth: Some Empirical Evidence, was widely cited, including

by President Reagan in a radio address to the American people. His study of the impact of bank credit to the public and private sectors in Africa and Asia was summarised in a Wall Street Journal op-ed article under the title Why Asia Boomed and Africa Busted. This was not Keith’s title, and it provoked displeasure in some World Bank circles. But after a review of his findings by the foreign aid committee of the US Senate, the US ‘Food for Peace’ legislation (PL480) was revised to allow the proceeds of local sales of donated American food to be channelled as bank credit to the private sector.

Keith and Denise returned to Geneva in 1988, partly because its francophone and cosmopolitan environments pleased them both. With its numerous UN agencies, it also offered opportunities for consultancy assignments, and allowed more time for free-lance writing. Over the next eleven years, Keith undertook missions to eighteen countries for the ILO, UNDP, UNCTAD, FAO, IFAD, IFC and World Bank. He ended his consultancy work in 1999, at the age of 68, having worked as an economist in a total of 65 countries since 1954.

But he continued to write opinion pieces on a variety of topics. Sixty-eight were published by the Wall Street Journal, and another twenty-four appeared various other publications.).

In 1997, the Centre for Policy Studies in London had asked him to write a pamphlet under the title Miracle or Mirage? Britain’s Economy Seen from Abroad. This was presented at a press conference in the House of Lords. He was subsequently made a CPS fellow, and a member of its Council. He wrote eight more CPS pamphlets. Three were cited in Margaret Thatcher’s last book Statecraft: Strategies for a Changing World. He was amused by being listed in its index between Mao Zedong and Marx, Karl.

Keith was a loving and supportive husband and father and retained a lively interest in sports and current affairs to the end of his life.

McDERMOTT, PAUL ANTHONY (1996), 10 December 2019 From The Irish Times 10 December 2019: Paul Anthony McDermott who has died following a short illness, was widely regarded as one of the leading academic lawyers and barristers of his generation. Whilst it is common for academics to dabble in practice and for barristers to lecture law, few

other Irish lawyers, with the distinguished exception of Gerard Hogan, now advocate general at the European Court of Justice, have simultaneously been regarded as leading academics and practitioners.

The tragedy of his passing at the age of 47 is that he died before his legal and writing talents could have found full expression in the judicial career for which he always seemed destined.

He was born to Irish parents living in London on 4 February 1972. The family returned to live in Clontarf, Dublin when in his early teens. He attended St Paul’s College, Raheny and his formative years accounted for a legendary work ethic, a strong belief in the rule of law and an expectation that career advancement should derive from merit rather than patronage. His childhood in England also explained two of his endearing idiosyncrasies, an accent which occasionally veered towards a lisp, the provenance of which always puzzled those unfamiliar with his upbringing, and a devotion to Liverpool’s stuttering fortunes in the Premier League.

From the time that he commenced studying law in UCD in 1991, his career was one of extraordinary accomplishment. A prodigiously talented student debater, he served two terms as records secretary of the UCD Law Society and, amongst many other achievements, was a winner of The Irish Times debate with Helen Boyle in 1996. His particular skill was to fuse an intuitive capacity for stand-up comedy with erudition on serious topics.

He graduated in first place with a BCL degree in 1994, before completing an LLM at Cambridge and a PhD in UCD where the then dean, Professor Paul O’Connor was quick to identify his skills and recruit him as a member of the Faculty. He continued to lecture in what is now the Sutherland Law School for more than two decades up to the time to his death where his powerful intellect and ever-present humour were appreciated in equal measure by generations of law students.

His PhD thesis on the law on Res Judicata became his first published work and it was quickly followed by lengthy texts on Contract Law and Prison Law, all of which were published when he was still in his 20s, productivity unparalleled in Irish legal academic history. He was called to the Bar in first place as the John Brooke Scholar in 1996 and quickly established a substantial practice, particularly in the public law sphere. He acted in a wide variety of litigation but will be best remembered for his representation of the State, whom he always regarded as a privilege to represent, in many significant Constitutional law cases. He took silk in 2015.

116

OBITUARIES

He acted for the State in leading Supreme Court cases such as Maguire v Ardagh and A v Governor of Arbour Hill Prison. The DPP, one of many clients who constantly sought out his services, instructed him in the trial of Sean Fitzpatrick, the longest criminal trial in the history of the State. He was a prolific contributor to conferences and public debate on legal topics. He frequently appeared on RTÉ news and current affairs programmes as a legal expert and authored a fortnightly column in The Sunday Times. Despite his busy schedule, he always made time to attend Irish soccer and rugby matches and provide fervent support to the home team.

He was widely known as Paul Anthony McDermott in order to distinguish him from his namesake at the Bar, Paul McDermott, a judge of the High Court since 2012. He bore his grave illness with characteristic fortitude and serenity. His religious faith, the love of his family, the exemplary care provided in the Donal Hollywood Unit at St James’s Hospital and the good wishes of his friends and colleagues sustained him through adversity. He retained his acerbic wit to the end.

He is survived by his wife Annick, two sons Harry and Andrew, his mother Margaret, and his brother James, also a barrister and a UCD law lecturer, who co-authored the second edition of his Contract Law text in 2017. His father predeceased him in March 2018.

MURRAY, NIGEL (1977), 15 January 2020 His sister Lynette Szczepanik writes: Nigel Jonathan Stuart Murray was born on 29 October 1949 in Maidenhead, Berkshire.

He had a happy childhood surrounded by his family. Nigel went to Challow Court school in Maidenhead until he was 8 years old. He was a boarder at Great Ballard Prep School at Camberley and later at Eartham in Sussex. He loved acting and enjoyed performing in Ali Baba & The 40 Thieves. He also became a cub and a scout. Later he was a boarder at Chandos House at Stowe School, Buckinghamshire where he fondly remembered acting as Queen Titania in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. He enjoyed being in the Cadet Corps and went on a school trip to Germany with them. One day at Stowe, when he was a colour sergeant major, the boys were doing drill in front of Lord Louis Mountbatten and Nigel was drilling them, unfortunately, a wasp came too close and Nigel gesticulated wildly to bat it away and a line of boys misunderstood and chaos ensued! In addition he enjoyed fencing and the Debating Society. Nigel represented Stowe in the Sixth Form Challenge on television in 1966, which followed the same format as University Challenge. His team won and his prize was a huge dictionary.

Having gained a place at Oriel College, Oxford, Nigel took a gap year teaching at Adisadel College, Cape Coast, Ghana. No one met him at Accra airport, so he made his way on the back of lorries for several hours and finally arrived at the school. They apologised profusely! He went out to Africa as a very studious, serious young man and returned a very gregarious young man!

OBITUARIES

117

Nigel read history at Oriel College (1968-71) where he greatly appreciated the tutorial system and one of his tutors was Robert Beddard. Nigel also enjoyed Oxford life very much and made a lot of friends, especially at Oriel. He acted at Oxford too, including performing the role of Jack Chesney in Charley’s Aunt at an open-air production in a quad at Oriel. During one performance, the college tortoise squeezed under an extremely low table on stage, which captivated the audience! Another activity Nigel enjoyed was debating at The Union. He loved politics – he had once said as a child that he would like to become Prime Minister – and he became the president of the Oxford University Conservative Association. Nigel was also very religious and he was confirmed at Oxford whilst he was an undergraduate. He was very pleased that his Second-Year rooms at Oriel were where Cardinal Newman had also lived. Nigel was delighted when Cardinal Newman was canonized recently.

After graduating he worked in London. First he spent a year training to be a barrister at the Middle Temple but then he decided to be an insurance broker, working at Willis, Faber & Dumas, Frizzell and other companies. At this time Nigel became chairman of Lambeth Central for the Conservatives.

Later, he decided to teach history. He enjoyed doing a PGCE at Gonville & Caius College and made good friends there. He taught at schools including Dr Challoner’s Grammar School in Amersham, Millfield School, a school at Ryde on the Isle of Wight, and in Majorca and then Hugh Christie School in Tonbridge.

In 1990 he moved to Germany and taught at a school near Cologne. Later he taught business English to businessmen and politicians, whilst their parliament was at Bonn, including to Angela Merkel and Ursula von der Leyen. After the parliament moved to Berlin, he concentrated on tutoring businessmen and some schoolchildren privately.

He moved to Bad Kreuznach and translated and voiced over the Pilgrim’s Way of Hildegard of Bingen. Latterly he lived in Idar-Oberstein and did translations for clients and wrote lyrics for songs with a friend in his retirement.

Sadly Nigel died on 15 January 2020. We all miss him very much.

PAGE, ANTHONY (1955), 9 December 2019 Anthony Page died on 9 December 2019, aged 82 years. He was born in Leicestershire and was educated at Bedford School before going up to Gonville & Caius College to study medicine.

After achieving his medical qualifications Anthony went briefly to Canada as a junior doctor before joining the Army Medical Corps. In 1964 he joined the Household Cavalry becoming doctor to the Blues and Royals Regiment, rising to the rank of surgeon colonel. He treated soldiers and their families at home and abroad.

OBITUARIES

In 1991 Anthony left the Blues and Royals and moved to Saudi Arabia where he worked for a couple of years as a doctor. He rejoined the Army in 1994 as a civilian doctor working in Osnabruck, Germany for 8 years. In 2002 he moved to the north of Scotland and continued to practise as a GP until he retired.

He leaves behind his wife Alison whom he married in 1981. He had seven children from two marriages and thirteen grandchildren.

He will be remembered as a man who always had time for other people.

RIDSDILL SMITH, GEOFFREY (PATRICK) (1959), 18 November 2019 His son William (1987) writes: Geoffrey Patrick Ridsdill Smith, known as Patrick, died from Alzheimer’s disease on 18 November 2019. He chose to follow a medical career in his early thirties having worked as an economist for Fisons PLC. Patrick went on to have over 25 years as a GP and he never became disillusioned. He treasured both the variety and security of the job. He was a great advocate for medicine as a second career.

Patrick was born on St Patrick’s Day in his uncle’s house in Wellington Park, Belfast.

His uncle, Sir Ian Fraser, a surgeon at Royal Victoria Hospital, carried out the first field trials of penicillin with Howard Florey in North Africa. Ian was a source of inspiration for Patrick. He spent the war years in Newcastle, County Down, Ireland, while his father Geoff served in the Home Guard in England. Geoff had suffered extensive facial burns in a plane crash during training in the Royal Flying Corps in 1917 and had a series of operations under Caian, Sir Harold Gillies (1901) at Queen Mary’s Sidcup, including a new nose, cheek and eyelids.

Patrick was educated at Windlesham School, East Sussex and then Haileybury College, Hertford, where his father taught history. He became head boy and developed a love of sailing in the naval section of the cadet corps. The family and their corgi Taffy lived in Southfield, an idyllic house with a grass tennis court.

He joined up with the Royal Navy for National Service and won a short service commission with a posting in Hong Kong, where he met his wife to be, Diana, daughter of the acting Attorney General, Arthur Hooton. He worked on mine sweepers and studied Russian. In 1959 he followed his brothers Marcus and Christopher to Gonville & Caius College where he read botany, zoology and economics. That year about half the

freshmen had, like Patrick, completed National Service. Their maturity gave them the wisdom to balance work, sport and social activities which Patrick did with consummate skill. His contemporaries remember him as a most popular member of the College and friendships made then have lasted ever since. He was joint organiser for the Caius activities for Poppy Day in1963. In those days undergraduates took over the city centre and colleges competed to extort as much as possible from the community in aid of the Earl Haig Fund, often by marginally legal means. Patrick’s ingenuity, and ability to motivate support from others, produced such pranks as the building of a scaffold bridge across Trinity Street from which was suspended a semi-willing undergraduate dressed as an angel who collected from the passengers on the top deck of buses stopped by another undergraduate dressed as a policeman.

He had a passion for adventure, especially afloat. He sailed a 16-foot catamaran dinghy to the Channel Islands and France. On one occasion he was dismasted midway to Alderney, was rescued by a tramp steamer and not put ashore until it reached Genoa, Italy.

In 1962 Patrick joined Fisons PLC and to his delight his first office in Felixstowe overlooked the sea. In the late 60s, with the forthcoming ban of DDT, the company ran into difficulties and was making redundancies. He feared for his job as he saw colleagues leave and it was at this stage he decided his true vocation was medicine.

He won a place back at Cambridge and went up again in 1971. He moved into the city with his wife and three children aged 7, 6 and 3, and went back to his old college, Gonville & Caius, as a graduate student. He was one of a handful of clinical students at the Old Addenbrooke’s Hospital on Trumpington Road. The course was tailor-made by the dean, who allowed him to move speciality at whim. As a student he kept his commission in the Royal Navy Reserve. He relished the special training weekends for the Intelligence Section which often involved night exercises in rubber dinghies. He took the family on long sailing trips and his wife on the Fastnet race.

After qualifying, he did house jobs at Addenbrooke’s on the new site, and Newmarket Hospital. His family visited on Sundays when he was on call. He let his children play snooker in the doctors’ mess and took them swimming at the Frank Lee Centre. His wife sometimes would stay overnight. After a year as a trainee at Red House Surgery, Cambridge he joined Dr John Scott in Burwell.

During his time in Burwell he saw the transformation of traditional general practice.

When he arrived the surgery was based in the doctor’s house. With Dr Scott, he bought a house which had been lived in by a Viking commune and converted it into a surgery.

Although his office was upstairs, he had a room downstairs for patients who could not manage the stairs. He put the patient’s chair adjacent to his desk, rather than opposite, as had been the norm. He became a GP trainer and became a popular choice for Irish trainees. For years he did a week on call and then a week off. Often a game of family

tennis was put on hold for him to see a patient, or supper was left in the oven waiting for him to come home.

He joined the Mid Anglian Accident Rescue Service, (MAGPAS), and had a two-way radio fitted in his car with a green flashing light for emergencies. He was meticulous with his emergency kit, and would always stop at an accident, even if on holiday.

In the 1980s general practice was in its heyday. The practice quickly expanded to 3 partners, and when Dr Scott left, he had over fifty applicants for the post. The practice outgrew its old house and in the 1990s he led its expansion to the new purpose-built premises it has today. He was known for his kindness, gentleness, ability to listen and the time he spent with patients. His colleague Dr Anne Shneerson described him as a true gentleman. He gave his practice great energy. The partners took it in turns to host all the staff for a practice Christmas Party, where the trainees and doctors’ children were expected to provide the entertainment. He had time for colleagues and chaired the Newmarket Medical Society monthly dinner speaker meetings.

I did a locum for him after I had finished my GP training. I was amused I did not need to change the name on the door. I recognised my old bedroom curtains. I marvelled at his tidy office, his meticulous filing of tutorial subject matter, and instinctively knew where things were kept. His opthalmoscope had a plastic cover over the lens to keep off the dust. He wrote with a fountain pen in neat italics, I could follow his Lloyd George records with ease.

He retired aged 65 and took great pleasure in doing up an old barn in the Lot, France, and inviting family and friends to stay. He became a mentor for asylum seekers. He remained an active member in village and church life, hosting events in the crypt of their house, a grade 1 listed 13th Century abbey. He sang bass in the church choir.

He developed dementia in his early 70s but still was able to enjoy butterflies, birdsong and singing. He loved walking along the Devil’s Dyke with views over the Fens to Ely Cathedral. The big skies of the fens reminded him of being at sea. He was fantastically supported by his wife Diana and his local community. The highlight of his week became the Reach Out Dementia Choir, which was run by his former district nurse colleague, Sue Evans.

He is survived by his wife Diana, his children Mark, Camilla and William, nine grandchildren, and his two older brothers Marcus and Christopher and his younger sister Filly.

ROOKE, PAUL (1963), 19 November 2019 His son Nick writes: Paul Adrian Rooke passed away peacefully on the 19 November 2019, aged 74 years. He was born in Peterborough and educated first at Bishop’s Stortford College and then at Gonville & Caius College. After graduating with a music degree he spent 36 years teaching music in secondary schools, before retiring in 2002. He then established himself as a freelance musical originator and editor, transcribing and editing music by Elgar in particular. Paul was also involved in many local music organisations around the Hertfordshire area, and in 1985 became conductor of Hitchin Symphony Orchestra, followed by the musical director of the Stevenage Male Voice Choir in 2005.

Paul conducted and composed since his student days. The list of his compositions includes various carols and solo songs, song-cycles, a string trio, a flute concerto, a saxophone concerto and an opera. His two symphonies were given their premières

by Hitchin Symphony Orchestra in November 2001 and 2006 both of which were very favourably received.

In April 1984 Paul conducted a highly successful production of the children’s opera The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by John McCabe. This was performed in the presence of the composer. The following September in 1985 Paul became conductor of Hitchin Concert Orchestra. With them he performed a wide repertoire of music by 20th Century English composers, plus adventurous modern works by Jeremy Aknai, Malcolm Arnold, Douglas Coombes, Gordon Crosse, Peter Maxwell Davies, George Lloyd, John McCabe, Edmund Rubbra, Robert Simpson, Martin Vishnik – and himself. Paul’s preference was always for British music of the 19th Century and onward. This formed a large part of the orchestra’s repertoire under his direction. In 2007, he produced performing editions of two polonaises and three movements for piano trio left incomplete by Elgar and published in the appendices to Volumes 37 and 38 of the Elgar Complete Edition.

Having been the Elgar Society’s publicity officer and a member of council for some ten years, and an original member of the Society’s Elgar-in-Performance group, in 2006 he was instrumental in the formation of ElgarWorks. This is an organisation which provides practical support to those wishing to put on performances of Elgar’s lesser-known works, primarily through the provision of orchestral scores and instrumental parts derived from full scores published in the Complete Edition. Within this new organisation he served as chief originator with the primary role of providing high quality scores for inclusion in newly published volumes of the Elgar Complete Edition. Paul took the role a step further by turning the scores into digital sets of high-quality performance material,

many of them for rarely performed works. As a result and under the stewardship of ElgarWorks, 19 of the 30 remaining volumes in the series have been published since 2007, with a 11 scheduled to be shortly completed.

Throughout his life Paul was a passionate advocate of music by English composers and through concerts he programmed and conducted with the Hitchin Symphony Orchestra, he gave the concert-going audience the opportunity to hear a raft of other rarely heard works. His contribution to English music, and most notably his efforts to ensure the longevity of Elgar’s works, will be felt for years to come, as will his loss.

WAINWRIGHT, GEOFFREY (1957), 17 March 2020 Geoffrey Wainwright was born in Yorkshire on 16 July 1939, the only child of Willie and Martha Ann Wainwright. He won a scholarship to Gonville & Caius where he studied modern languages and then theology. He received a theological doctorate from the University of Geneva in 1972, and his Cambridge DD in 1987. He was ordained by the British Methodist Conference in 1967. For six years he served as a pastor and teacher at the Protestant Faculty of Theology in Yaoundé, Cameroon, which welcomed students from the French speaking churches along the West African coast.

On returning to Britain in 1973 he taught at The Queen’s College (joint Anglican Methodist) in Birmingham. In 1979 he moved with his wife and three children to the United States where he taught at Union Theological Seminary in New York before moving to Durham in 1983 where he became professor of systematic theology at Duke Divinity School until his retirement in 2012.

He worked to promote understanding and unity between the churches through his membership (1976-91) in the Faith and Order Commission of the World Council of Churches. He was a principal editor of the text Baptism, Eucharist and Ministry drawn up by the Commission at Lima, Peru in 1982. Between 1986 and 2011 he served as chair on the Methodist side of the Joint Commission for Dialogue between the World Methodist Council and the Roman Catholic Church. Among his dozen sole-authored books the most influential remains his systematic theology, Doxology: The Praise of God in Worship, Doctrine and Life (OUP 1980).

In 1965 he married Margaret Wiles, who survives him as do his children, Joanna Paulman (Lance), Catherine Aravosis, Dominic Wainwright (Jeannie) and his grandchildren, Wesley Paulman, Matthaios and Sofia Eleni Aravosis.

WEST, JOHN (1963), 25 September 2018 John (Johnny) West died on 25 September 2018, aged 73 years. He was born in January 1945, in Bristol, and had a happy childhood growing up with his brother and sister to

whom he was very close, and with his cousins and extended family all living nearby.

John was a pupil at Colston’s School in Bristol where he was head boy, and where he excelled at music and learned to play the organ (and he stayed in touch with his organ teacher throughout his life).

John went up to Caius as the organ scholar in 1963 to read medicine: an unusual and demanding combination. As well as playing the organ in chapel, John also conducted the college choir. He benefitted hugely from the encouragement of Peter Tranchell, the Director of Music at Caius. John enjoyed working closely with Peter, on both chapel services and other formal and informal musical events, including a long running cabaret programme, and they remained lifelong friends after John had left Caius. John made many close friends at Caius, and they remember his ‘ability, gentle charm and wit’ and his ‘mischievous sense of humour’.

After graduating, John completed his medical training at St Bartholomew’s Hospital in London, and then became a GP, in a practice based in South Kensington. He also became one of the assistant organists at St Margaret’s Church, Westminster, where Martin Neary, who had preceded John as organ scholar at Caius, was the organist, and a number of former Caius choral scholars had joined the choir.

John married Gilly in 1969 at St Margaret’s and they had two daughters, Anna and Sarah, and settled in Barnes, South-West London. John worked as a GP for many years, moving from his NHS practice to a private City-based practice in 2002, and later retiring from medical work in 2013.

John continued to pursue his love of music alongside his work and family life. As well as playing the organ for church services, he was a member of a cabaret group ‘Medium Dry’ with other former Caians, performing at numerous parties and events.

John became the organist at his local church, St Michael and All Angels, Barnes, where Martin Neary later joined him as Director of Music.

When work and musical commitments allowed, John loved spending time on his canal boat Calando, with friends and family, and particularly enjoyed days on the boat with his four grandchildren.

John was supportive, encouraging and caring to all around him, and always keen to help others as much as he possibly could, whether patients, trainee doctors at work or fellow musicians. He was an extremely popular doctor and a talented and enthusiastic musician, and he was much loved by his family and his friends. His sudden death (from pneumonia) came as a shock and he is greatly missed by all.

OBITUARIES

WINDLE, TERENCE (1947), 22 February 2020 His daughter Julia Duckworth writes: Terence Windle was born on the 15 January 1926 in Huddersfield. In 1944, at the age of 18, he won a scholarship to Caius College Cambridge. He taught mathematics at his local school for a short time and before enlisting to serve in the Second World War with the Navy. After enrolment, he completed a course of training as a radio operator and was stationed with in Singapore in 1945-46. When the war ended he returned to England by ship, experiencing bad storms in the Bay of Biscay. The ship was low on provisions and he caught a stomach bug from bad food supplies.

In 1946 he took up his university place at Caius. in Cambridge in 1946 but he told us that he found college life a bit dull after the Navy. He did well enough for it to be suggested that he should stay on but he decided that an academic life would not have suited him. However his language studies and his specialisation in German came in useful for his later career. After leaving Caius he studied at the University of London, preparing himself himself for work as a civil servant in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office of the British Government. His studies at the University of London were at the School of African and Oriental Studies where he studied African languages.

He was posted to Nigeria in 1951-59, which was a British colony at that time. His title was district officer and his posting was to the region of Oyo, which was not reachable by road but only by river canoe. After 18 months (a period known as one tour) he was asked to take up the position of personal secretary to the Governor Sir John Ranklin, in the city of Ibadan, where he met Joy Winifred Shield who was working as a teaching nurse at the local hospital. They were married in 1957 in Ibadan, Nigeria, travelling afterwards for 1 month to Europe on their honeymoon. His first daughter, Philippa, was born in Ibadan, at the new hospital, in 1958.

After a further year he was posted as district commissioner to Luanshya, in North Zambia, a region known as The Copper Belt (near Kitwe). They stayed for a duration of 18 months and then moved to Ndola, a town in Zambia near the border of the Congo, where he was asked to help deal with the influx of Belgian refugees fleeing disturbances in the Belgian Congo. They stayed there for about 2 years during which time his second daughter Julia was born in 1962.

They left to take home-leave in England, sailing on the Orangefontein from South Africa, In order to catch the ship they travelled to South Africa by train which took 2 days.

The ship journey took 3-4 weeks. In England they visited my mother’s and father’s relatives in Bristol and in Yorkshire, spending about 6 weeks there, before returning to Africa for a new posting in Lusaka, travelling again by ship. In Lusaka, Zambia they were allocated government housing and my father held the title of district officer. His son Nicolas was born there in 1965. Our father was responsible for natural resources

and tourism and travelled in that capacity to Lebanon, being a representative in high level meetings there.

Zambia became independent of British rule in 1964. Our father stayed there in his capacity for 2 years after Zambian independence, still as a British employee, then returned to England where he worked at Whitehall. His work in London was in MAFF, Ministry of Agriculture Food and Fisheries, where he was involved in the fishing rights discussions with Iceland, known as the Cod War. He was also highly responsible for moving the work of London’s Fruit and Flower Market and Exchange, from Covent Garden to Nine Elms He then represented England in Brussels in the Common Market, acting in the sector of Fruit and Vegetables and afterwards in Cereals. His work in Brussels which started in 1973, was by 1980 most senior in importance, holding the title of ‘Director’ in the Directorate-General for Agriculture. He was offered the post of Director General (one step below Commissioner), which he could have taken on, if he had not decided to retire ‘on time’, at 65 years.

He was awarded the CBE by Queen Elizabeth in 1991, which he received in a ceremony at Buckingham Palace just before his retirement. Thereafter he and my mother travelled to China for a couple of weeks and enjoyed their retirement in their own house in Lasne until his death on 22 February 2020. Our father suffered from mounting dementia (vascular dementia), particularly in the last two years of his life, necessitating proper care in a residential home, where he died just before the lockdown of the Covid-19 health crisis.

He leaves his wife Joy Winifred, together with his children, Philippa, Julia and Nicolas.
