Dr Pippa Rogerson writes:

Writing this in September 2021 and looking back over this academic year, I have a paradoxical sense of both a whirlwind of a year and one in which nothing has happened. Covid continued to lay waste to our usual, time-honoured, methods of doing things. No area of College life was untouched. We grappled with a deluge of government regulations and local Public Health requirements. Legislation, guidance, and advice poured down on us from the Department of Education, the Office of Students and Public Health England. Not all Pippa Rogerson Prichard Peter Robinsonor even published. Michael of it was timely, or coherent, In outline, Master Senior Fellow President, DoS in Comp Sci, undergraduate and law postgraduate students returned to Cambridge for the Conflict of laws, company Legal history and equity Complargely technology Michaelmas Term. Some were unable to travel and some were shielding so they remained at home. Those here then spent November in lockdown, only permitted to leave their ‘household’ for an hour a day for exercise. At the beginning of December, most returned home and stayed there throughout the third lockdown after Christmas.

During the Lent Term students started to trickle back to Caius. If anyone had a good reason to need to be in Cambridge they could return: a difficult working environment at home, lack of broadband, or worsening mental health all qualified. By the beginning of Easter Term up to 80% of students were back resident in College. Fellows were mostly working from home for the entire year.

Decision-making throughout the year hasMichael had to Wood take a different form. The College James Fitzsimons Neil McKendrick Medical physiology Modern Englishwere social economic history meetings all&on Zoom bar a very few which had to be in person. The College’s Mechanical engineering Statutes are surprisingly precise in their requirement that ‘the College Council shall meet in the Fellows’ Combination Room or some other convenient place within the limits of the College but not elsewhere’. As the rest of the world did, we also adapted to the online medium. We got used to a backdrop of our colleagues’ houses, the random Photograph ‘Zoom bombing’ by children or animals, crackly connections, a blue (or yellow) hand not available to attract attention, the ‘chat’ function, and blank squares when the video was off (was anyone there?). It may be of interest to future academics that the University insisted on Microsoft Teams, while the colleges exclusively used Zoom. I did not attend a Google meet or Skype or Slack meeting – none of them acquired much traction in Cambridge.

It is not at all clear to me why one or other technology becomes the favoured medium Richard Duncan-Jones so quickly.

It seems that people having mastered one platform are reluctant to move Tony Kirby Jeremy Prynne Bioorganic chemistry English poetry Classics to a different one and learn new tricks. In the end, functionally, Zoom and Teams have converged substantially. A Cambridge college is not an island. Collegiate Cambridge

had weekly college officers’ meetings on Zoom. These involved a hundred or more Heads of House, Senior Tutors and Bursars from each of 31 colleges, plus University representatives. We needed to move in the same direction, share best practice, and resolve difficulties. Though the meetings are now likely to be fortnightly for the next year, we will continue them. Hybrid meetings are becoming the norm, using an ‘Owl’ mostly. These new forms may help the planet by reducing the carbon emissions from travel necessary to meet in person. However, I fear we lose something intangible when we cannot be in the same physical space. I am very much looking forward to being able to meet with Caians face-to-face again, albeit with very careful evaluation of the costs and benefits of travelling.

The total number of students in Caius in 2020-21 is 888 with 553 undergraduate and 335 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, 73 are clinical medics and veterinary students, 100 are on one-year courses, and 162 are undertaking a PhD. Of these 173 are UK and EU domiciled and 79 are overseas. Post-Brexit, all EU domiciled students starting new courses will count as overseas students. The Fellowship numbered 107 at the beginning of the year. In addition, there are 9 Bye-Fellows, 11 Emeritus Fellows, 33 Honorary Fellows and 16 Gonville Fellow Benefactors.

Professor Peter Robinson succeeded Professor John Mollon as President of Gonville & Caius. The whole College is grateful to John for his elongated stint as President: as Deputy to the Master, as wise counsel on the Council and elsewhere, as host of many social occasions for Fellows and their families, and as a stalwart member of the Chapel congregation.

After the débacle of A-level results in August 2020 Caius started with a cohort of Freshers 12% larger than expected. No one was required to defer, although a few chose to do so. Accommodation was stretched to house everyone and we were grateful to those who accepted the privations of living in a house rather than at Harvey Court or the Stephen Hawking Building. Every student resident was part of a ‘household’ delineated by yellow and black tape, named after flora and fauna of the UK. The household was the unit for eating, socialising, Covid testing, isolation after one in the household tested positive, and so on. Cambridge University pioneered the household pooled PCR test. Weekly, each household member swabbed themselves, a household lead put the whole household’s tests in one pot and left the pot at the Porter’s Lodge for processing. The University laboratory processed the tests for up to 14,000 students each week. Results came back the next day. If any household tested positive, the whole group had to isolate for 10-14 days. Members of that household then did an individual test to be sure who was in fact infected. Behind this apparently simple process was a great deal of efficient administration both from College staff and University staff, and willing participation by students. Transmission within College, and between

THE YEAR IN COLLEGE 2020-21

Cambridge students and members of the public, was found to be very low indeed.

The efforts of the cleaning staff and good behaviour (on the whole) of our College community probably contributed to that excellent outcome. We can only hope that the return of students next month does not lead to a dangerous spike in cases.

Teaching was conducted through online lectures, along with as much in-person supervisions, practicals and seminars as was possible with the regulations in place at the time. In practice, though we had hoped to do more, much of this academic year has had to be online. Either a good proportion of students were not in Cambridge, or the restrictions meant we could not meet people outside our household. Caians – both Fellows and students – rose to the challenge of education in a plague. Preparation for supervisions was done using online materials, carefully selected given that physical books were not easy to access. Marking could be done in real time using shared screens where appropriate even if the participants were not in the same room. The results in the summer Tripos examinations were outstanding. Baxter Tables are no longer published but an informal assessment by the Senior Tutor puts Caius around 4th of the 29 colleges that admit for Tripos. That is a significant improvement for which everyone is to be congratulated: the Admissions Tutors, the Directors of Studies, Tutors, Supervisors and, most of all, the students. No one should under-estimate the difficulties they have overcome this year.

Examinations again took place almost exclusively online. This form of assessment had been forced on the University last year as the Covid pandemic took hold and almost all students had left Cambridge at Easter 2020. In my faculty, Law, the assessments were open-book (indeed open internet) and taken over 24 hours with a 5000-word limit. Other subjects took different approaches to the online challenge. It was almost a pleasure to be marking typewritten scripts rather than deciphering handwriting.

Not having to carry around heavy brown envelopes of paper but reading the scripts anywhere, contacting co-examiners and sharing screens made marking much more efficient. We have no reason to believe that cheating went on, although in Law we certainly looked hard at a couple of scripts that bore uncanny resemblance to one another. Ensuring the integrity of the process when most members of the class are also on a WhatsApp group and can share tips is one of the challenges of the future in education. Online proctoring is expensive and intrusive.

Graduation for the 2021 cohort took place in person in July. Despite strict social distancing measures still in place, it was a joyful and thankful occasion. Caius put on a Graduation Dinner in three places, with short speeches repeated in each. Sadly one or two graduands were isolating and had to make do with the ‘feast’ delivered to them as a takeaway. Parents and guests were not able to enter the Senate House so screens to provide a live recording were set up in various places in the Old Courts. You could have heard a pin drop – I was told – throughout the ceremony. The choreography was amended to protect the Vice-Chancellor’s Deputy (me), the Praelector, the Registrary,

and the Bedell from the graduands. No holding a finger, kneeling, and clasping hands but a polite bow from two metres away while the Latin was incanted was suitably ceremonial. All went well and there was no later spike in Covid cases in Cambridge attributable to the event. Catch up graduations for 2020 graduands who missed out when they had to leave Cambridge so swiftly at the end of Lent Term 2020 were held at the end of September. These were joyous occasions.

Caius welcomed new Fellows at a Domestic Evening reduced to the new Fellows plus only 12 others. Dr Emily Sandford (Research Fellow in Astrophysics), Dr Christina Faraday (Research Fellow in History of Art), Dr Chris Scott (Tutor for Admissions and Outreach), Dr Michelle Ellefson (Psychology and Education), and Dr Richard Staley (History and Philosophy of Science) all started as Fellows of Caius in October 2020. We had two new Bye-Fellows, Dr Ahab Bdaiwi as Cook Crone Research Bye-Fellow, and Dr Nicolas Bell-Romero who researched into the legacies of slavery in the College archive.

Both had a particularly trying year as libraries and archives were often closed. Two former Research Fellows have been elected College Lecturers, Dr Ruadhai Dervan and Dr William Handley. Ms Jennifer Phillips, the Operations Director, was elected Fellow as Domestic Bursar. Dr Vedran Sulovsky (Research Fellow in History) started his fellowship in February 2021.

We have said farewell to Dr K C Lin, Dr Tom Simpson, Dr Carl Turner and Dr Lewis Owen who have left Caius this year, all for excellent posts elsewhere. Sadly, Honorary Fellows Jonathan Sacks and Tony Hewish have died as well as Gonville Fellow Benefactor, Jonathan Denbigh. Mr Russ Holmes (Head Porter) and Mrs Yvonne Holmes (Tutorial Office Manager) retired. They leave a huge hole at the centre of the College, and we wish them well in retirement. These critical central offices are filled by Mr Martin May and Mrs Emma Vath who have seamlessly taken over but are bringing a fresh perspective from their previous experiences.

Dr Melissa Calaresu has been appointed Deputy Senior Tutor with special responsibility for postgraduates. This is a new role in College recognising the importance of the postgraduate student community. We look forward to welcoming a student from Pakistan to come to Caius for postgraduate study funded by the generosity of the Bestway Foundation and the Choudrey family.

Professor Fernando Quevedo was awarded the American Physical Society’s 2021 John Wheatley Award in recognition of ‘sustained commitment and achievement in the advancement of physics and science in developing countries.’ Professor Sujit Sivasundaram won the British Academy Book Prize for Waves across the South: A New History of Revolution and Empire.

The refurbishment of the kitchens and Hall took slightly longer than we had hoped, but we were able to return to Hall dining for the Easter Term. The kitchens are producing

10

THE YEAR IN COLLEGE 2020-21

delicious meals and we all look forward to dining together later this year. This was an expensive project, but a necessary one. The kitchens are now much more friendly to the environment and have made better working conditions for the staff. Annual Gatherings and MA ceremonies have recommenced with twice the number of occasions to make up for those missed. My portrait is now up. I recognise it as a good likeness, but you will have to judge for yourself.

Covid has deleteriously affected the College’s finances. Losing rents for the whole of the Lent Term was not expected. Conference business has switched successfully to offering bed and breakfast as the major conference business did not return this summer.

The College Council has been mindful of trying to support our Fellows, students and staff appropriately while not overspending. Some capital projects have been deferred.

However, the College is an ancient foundation and through the generosity of donors and the caution of our predecessors, reserves have been built up for these crises.

Although rowing races took a different form to usual, CBC had some notable successes.

The Caius Women’s first eight won the June Eights Regatta while the Men’s first eight narrowly lost in the final. Bronya Sykes was elected Women’s President of the CUBC for 2022. She was a member of the winning Women’s Blue Boat in the Varsity race at Ely in March. Ben Dyer was a member of the successful Men’s boat.

The Choir were able to go on tour to Gloucestershire and Somerset in July. Singing is considered a high-risk activity for the spread of Covid, particularly in our narrow chapel.

Nonetheless, the quality of the Choir continues to be extraordinarily good under the baton of Matthew Martin. The new AV system in the Chapel brought organ recitals and services to a wider audience throughout this year.

I have been elected Deputy Chair of the Colleges’ Committee and then to be Chair for 2022-24. That comes with a place on the University Council, as well as a myriad of other committees and working groups. Three issues are presently under consideration. First, the review of undergraduate admissions needs to be considered before some of the proposals may be implemented over the next few years. This is a complex problem in a fast-changing context. How to choose the students with the most potential to thrive at Caius and in Cambridge? In the last admissions round more than 40% of candidates for each A-level gained A* or A. Cambridge’s standard offers of 2A* and A (sciences), or A* and two A’s (arts and humanities) are increasingly insufficiently granular to be sure we are choosing the top candidates. Secondly, the review of Mental Health provision in the University is due to be completed this year before changes are made to the University Counselling Service. In response to an increased need in the College, Caius has already appointed a specialist Mental Health Adviser and increased the complement of College Nurse provision. The College is also placing more emphasis on encouraging self-care and resilience. Having an interest beyond academic work in sport, theatre, music, volunteering and the myriad of other clubs and societies available

in Cambridge can be helpful in maintaining good mental health. Caians are fortunate in having excellent facilities and open space at Barton Road and the Boat Club, access to a gym and gardens at West Road, the Bateman Auditorium, and the Chapel. Thirdly, discussions about the appropriate balance of undergraduate and graduate students, the variety of courses on offer, and size of colleges continues between the University and the colleges.

On a personal note, my daughter’s wedding set for last September went ahead in September 2021. It was a happy occasion filled with family and friends. My electric car did fewer miles than I might have expected, and I managed not to run out of power even on trips to Wales, Manchester or Exeter despite ‘range anxiety’. Ensuring a reliable rapid charging network is a challenge for the next decade. Caius has responded by providing six charging points under the Stephen Hawking Building.

As last year, in the hope that we might be nearing the end of the pandemic, we should all be grateful for the extraordinary efforts of the College’s senior officers: the Senior Tutor, Senior Bursar and Domestic Bursar, along with all the Fellows and staff. Between us we have kept the College healthy and protected from the worst ravages of the pandemic.

The Chapel

Revd Dr Cally Hammond, Dean writes: For the Chapel, the academic year 2020-21 managed to be both unwontedly quiet and at the same time stressful, as worship continued to be, of necessity, flexible and adaptive.

The Church year begins two months after the academic year, with Advent Sunday; and it was then that I took up a new role as a journalist, writing a weekly column for the Church Times on the lectionary readings for each Sunday. This has been an enjoyable task. I look back half-way through my three-year stint and remember a time when Monday mornings at 7.15am did not mean a first draft of the column for three weeks later. I will miss it when I reach Stir-up Sunday 2023.

Writing every week is a much easier thing to do than writing (as with this report for The Caian) once a year. When I write about Bible readings, there is always so much to say, so many interesting problems of language and thought to unravel. When I write for The Caian, it is more a matter of judging what Caians would like to know about what has been happening, who has visited and preached, what fun speakers and controversial topics we had for the Discussion Society. And on that front, there is sadly less than usual to report.

‘Less’, though, is not ‘nothing’. 398 years after it was first preached before the King, a sermon of Lancelot Andrewes was preached before the congregation in Chapel. True, it was a much shorter edition than the original; but I like to think that it preserved the brilliant imagination and meticulous scholarship of Andrewes himself. The original sermon inspired T S Eliot’s well-known poem, Journey of the Magi, so when I read and re-read it and to précis it for the chapel congregation, I was keen do so in such a way as to communicate that brilliance.

I do not propose to reproduce even the abbreviated version here, for most sermons, if they really are sermons and not lectures, are better listened to than read. How the royal court absorbed some of the intricacy of Andrewes’s expression is hard to recover, but I know it did not make for easy or relaxing listening in 2020. Nonetheless, I wish to commend a single theme from the text, the same one which became the starting point for Eliot’s famous poem: A cold coming they had of it at this time of the year, just the worst time of the year to take a journey, and specially a long journey. The ways deep, the weather sharp, the days short, the sun farthest off, in ‘the very dead of winter.’

THE YEAR IN COLLEGE 2020-21

Andrewes contrasts the determination of the Magi with the preferences of lesser mortals for comfort and convenience: And we, what should we have done? With them it was but see, come; with us it would have been but we will come at most. Come such a journey at such a time? No; put it off to the spring of the year, till the days longer, and the ways fairer, and the weather warmer, till better travelling to Christ. Our Epiphany would sure have fallen in Easter week at the soonest. To Christ we cannot travel, but weather and way and all must be fair. If not, no journey.

I did not choose that sermon because its theme fitted the circumstances of the global pandemic we were living through at the time. My aim in selecting it was simply to make it, and its original preacher, better-known to a modern congregation. But now that I look back in this post-pandemic period, I can see that the challenge Andrewes posed in 1622 is exactly what we needed to hear at that moment. He was warning us that putting off doing our duty until a time that suits us would undoubtedly mean simply putting it off. In 2020-21 that translated into being true to our calling as a community of scholars, to persist in our pursuit of education, religion, learning, and research – come what may.

When I think of the successions of Caians whose experience of life here, and studying at Cambridge, has been blighted and diminished by the restrictions of Covid, I am proud to think of the determination and positivity which has kept the flame of academic excellence burning. No, it was not a world war we had to face and deal with, but just as in football you can only play the team in front of you, in a time of plague you can only respond to the circumstances in front of you. I think the students, staff, and Fellows of Caius rose magnificently to the challenge of being Caius in times of Covid. That is probably being said elsewhere in this volume, and said more elegantly. But repetition is preferable to inadvertent omission.

The summer of 2021, as the report from the registers below shows, was the first proof of a return to normality. It was a time to catch up with weddings. Some were triumphant and glorious ceremonies, long planned, gathering large numbers of friends and family after repeated postponements. One or two chose to make it a pared-down service, with only the legal minimum numbers of persons present: one bride, one bridegroom, one minister, and two witnesses. But everyone was an affirmation that life, and Caius College, go on.

The Commemoration of Benefactors Sermon for 2020 was preached in the Easter Term of 2021 by the Dean, upon the theme of Dr Caius’s prayer for daily use in the College: ‘the God of peace and love remain with us always.’

The Choir (96 - 107)

Matthew Martin, Precentor, writes: I arrived in April 2020 as the new Precentor just as Covid was taking hold. Naturally, there was not much to say on choir matters until Michaelmas 2020 – and even then, activities were significantly scaled back for obvious reasons. My first term was spent away from Cambridge (locked down in Gloucestershire) with access to the Choir (who I had not yet properly met) limited to Zoom. Once Michaelmas Term arrived and I was installed in Cambridge, we continued as best we could and started choir Matthew Martin Precentor and Director of College Music, activities at the start of October in two separate groups (named ‘Wood’ and ‘Hadley’), so DoS in Music as to avoid too many bodies crammed into the limited Chapel space. We managed one service per week (usually Sunday) and rehearsed where possible during the week using the Chapel, Bateman Auditorium and Senior Parlour. The organ scholars assisted in the directing of rehearsals which often had to take place concurrently. Unfortunately, we were brought to a grinding halt once again halfway through term and had to abandon all services – including the Commemoration of Benefactors and the two carol services.

When the Lent Term arrived, we decided to put on choral services using anything from one to three or four singers at a time, as most students stayed at home. By then, we Christopher Scott to have installed our new webcasting system (thanks to generous had also managed Tutor for Admissions & Outreach donations from alumni) so that all services and our new series of Friday organ recitals could be streamed live. Our weekly Compline (which could easily be done with only one singer plus organ – more if available/permitted) proved to be hugely popular and gave us an opportunity to test drive the new equipment. These choral offices centered around plainchant and broke out into polyphony where possible. This gave us the idea to put on Vespers (also based around plainchant) each week and we continue this new tradition up to the present time (now Tuesdays), giving us the opportunity to explore a new shape of liturgy and associated repertoire, which is unusual in Cambridge.

Jennifer Phillips Sunday Vespers became the focus in the Easter Term and, thankfully, we were permitted Domestic Bursar & once again to work Operations Director in two groups, giving us the opportunity to sing in more than one part! Around this time, it became possible for a limited number of Fellows and students to attend in the congregation via a booking system on the Venn. Although congregational singing was not yet permitted, the joy and relief of being able to resume some sort of in-person worship was tangible.

A glimmer on the horizon was an idea that we might go on ‘tour’ to Gloucestershire early in July – although, as we got close to it, it became rather touch-and-go as to 16

THE YEAR IN COLLEGE 2020-21 Stephen Turton RF:Physics

whether we would be able to do it. As it happened, things opened up enough for us to travel together and give three concerts in Cirencester Parish Church, Holy Trinity, Minchinhampton, St James the Great, Chipping Campden plus an Evensong in Bath Abbey. This was the first opportunity I had since my arrival to take the Choir away to sing together (quorate) and, although audiences were severely limited, it proved to be a successful and musically rewarding trip for all. The concert in Cirencester was, in essence, an organ recital (given by me) featuring organ works by de Grigny, Guilain, Dupré and Duruflé based around plainchant which the Choir sang in between the various organ ‘versets’. In Bath we sang Choral Evensong, featuring Leighton’s Evening Canticles (written for the choir of Magdalen College, Oxford), and the concerts showcased works by Tye, Haydn, Holst and others.

It would be remiss of me not to take this opportunity to thank those key people who made choir events and services possible during this challenging period through constant planning, re-planning and endless risk assessments: notably Claire Wheeler (our indefatigable Choir Administrator) and the Dean, Revd Dr Cally Hammond – who was instrumental in designing these flexible liturgies appreciated by so many during the challenging times of 2020-21. I should also pay tribute to the organ scholars, Kyoko Canaway and Tammas Slater, for their wonderful playing and support.

The 2020-21 Caius Choir comprised 23 singers: 15 Choral Exhibitioners, 1 lay-clerk and 7 volunteers. There were 9 sopranos, 5 altos, 3 tenors and 6 basses. The Senior Choral Exhibitioner was Helen Footman and the Librarian was Inigo Jones. Those holding named scholarships were as follows: Wilfrid Holland Organ Scholar – Kyoko Canaway (MML – year abroad) Peter Walker Organ Scholar – Tammas Slater Junior Organ Scholar – Arthur Pallecaros Margaret Chumrow Lay-Clerk – Sebastian Blount Sir Keith Stuart Choral Scholar – Inigo Jones John Chumrow Choral Scholar – Vivek Haria James Pitman Choral Scholar – Harry Elliot Patrick Burgess Choral Scholar – Helen Footman Peter and Therese Helson Choral Scholar – Poppy Kemp 2017 Caius Fund Choral Scholar – Gemma Taylor 2018 Caius Fund Choral Scholars – Harriet Spring & Oliver Jones 2019 Caius Fund Choral Scholars – Artemis Paterson & Sophie Rogan

Gonville & Caius Students’ Union JCR Executive Committee Report 2020-21

George Skeen, JCR Vice-President 2020-21, writes: 2020 and 2021 were years like no other, as I am sure you all remember. No sooner had the new GCSU committee been elected and inaugurated, the Covid pandemic hit the nation, and we were plunged into a series of crisis meetings with College staff and dealing with urgent queries from worried students. It was a baptism of fire and it set the tone for the rest of our tenure. We began the year with lofty ambitions of projects and reform, but much of our time ended up being taken with responding to the various immense problems created by the pandemic. I am proud to say that the GCSU pulled through and all members worked tirelessly to ensure that students were well-supported during this difficult year. I, and Francesca Hunt (President, 2020-21), would like to thank them for their hard work and dedication.

The first challenge for the new GCSU was to support students, now locked down in their homes across the world and sadly prevented from returning to Cambridge.

We aimed to create some semblance of lockdown life by hosting Zoom quizzes and providing regular informative updates. The First Years’ ‘marriage formal’, usually an extravagant dinner and highlight of early Easter Term, was held over Zoom and could not have been more different than usual. I am extremely grateful for the work of our Ents team (Florence Conway, Rowena Field, Felix Slark and Beth Lord) and the Food and Bar Officers (Grace Atkinson and Georgia Batcheldor) who made the best of bad circumstances. Despite the challenges, spirits were high and a strong sense of community was developed and maintained. One of the highlights of this period was Scarlet Rowe’s (Women and Non-Binary Officer) initiative to create a journal promoting women at Caius. ‘The Sundial’ was a big success, drawing in contributions from students and Fellows alike. In the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder and the global repercussions it had, Christine Salami (BME Officer) worked tirelessly to raise issues of racism with College officers and made huge progress in raising consciousness around this issue.

Behind the scenes, Francesca and I were attending regular virtual College meetings where discussion turned increasingly to preparations for a Covid Michaelmas Term, and what it would look like. Personally I found these meetings provided a muchappreciated structure in my lockdown life. There was an air of excitement when we finally returned to Cambridge in Michaelmas Term after over six months of living at home. We had worked closely with the College to ensure that the return of students

would be safe and those at higher risk would be protected appropriately. This involved several measures unseen before such as establishing households within the College (which governmental rules on mixing would apply to), regular testing, and social distancing.

Over the summer, Alex Yao (Freshers’ Rep) had planned an exciting Freshers’ Week with these household restrictions in mind so we welcomed the new year group in a very different way than usual. We raised a small army of student volunteers to conduct the usual Harvey Court welcome, College tours, matriculation support and Freshers activities, albeit extremely distanced and masked. A locked down Cambridge proved to be immensely challenging from a mental health perspective. Our Welfare Officers, Adam Rathmell and Precious Ndukuba, deserve special praise for the way they supported many students during this time, taking on a particularly great burden.

Georgia Brown (Disabilities and Mental Health Officer) also supported this work greatly alongside championing anti-suicide training and a great number of other initiatives.

When our tenure drew to a close in February 2021 it was a bitter-sweet moment. The challenges of the past year had been wearing, but when the new committee was elected, the pandemic was still at its height. It would have been nice to see the end of it while in office. However, a large number of GCSU officers, including myself, took on roles in the following committee blending the two seamlessly together. Throughout the year we were in office, the work of the GCSU was tirelessly supported by Rita Dias (Secretary) and Masha Novikova (Treasurer) who kept things running smoothly.

We could not have functioned without their hard work. The GCSU in 2020-21 was a fantastic team; often I forget that only once were we all in the same room together. I wish the best of luck to future committees.

Amalgamated Clubs and Societies 2020-21

Badminton Club Both matches and training this year were limited by Covid with the college league and Cuppers being cancelled entirely and training not being able to take place for all of the Lent Term. However, the club pulled together and we had huge levels of participation to all the trainings that could take place. In Michaelmas Term we regularly reached the maximum capacity of 48 players to each Friday session. We were able to run sessions throughout Easter Term and once again regularly attracted the limit for the number of players allowed due to social distancing rules.

Committee members were: Club Captain: Joshua Talks Women’s Captain: Arundhati Saraswatula Women’s Vice-Captain: Nitish Bala

Basketball Club Unfortunately, due to Covid, no intercollegiate basketball games were played this year.

We therefore remained in Division 1 of the college league. A few outdoor basketball sessions were held for Caius members.

President: Yu-Chia Tung

Big Band Society The Caius Big Band this year has not had much opportunity to practice. Auditions were held, and some rehearsals were planned and attempted in the early part of Michaelmas Term 2020, but restrictions due to Covid severely limited any meaningful band-wide rehearsal. However, there were encouraging numbers of Caians signed up, and we are hopeful that we should be able to return to our busy and full band of 2019-20, in the next academic year.

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

Board Game Society Due to the closure of the University due to Covid we were unable meet in person.

However we set up a weekly online board games session which we will aim to continue through the summer.

Boat Club Lucy Cryer, Junior Treasurer, writes: Caius Boat Club (CBC) is the boat club for current members of Gonville & Caius College and is the largest sports society in the College with over 75 members. CBC remains one of the strongest clubs on the River Cam and has seen huge success over the past year even with Covid disruptions.

After virtual training took place over the summer with weekly Zoom circuit sessions across the club, crews looked forward to coming back on the river in Michaelmas Term.

With the new intake of Freshers to the College, great efforts were made to run socially distanced circuit sessions on the Barton Road sports ground to recruit new rowers. The success of these circuits resulted in a large novice rower intake of over 30 new rowers.

Freshers were given the opportunity to try rowing in boats through organised outings during the Michaelmas Term. Due to Covid, the annual Queen’s Ergs competition was cancelled so the Lower Boat Captains organised a Caius Erg’s equivalent for the novice boats. The crews trained on the rowing machines for the 8x500m erg relay and fun was had by all. Senior crews continued working hard on the water to build on the success of Lent Term 2020. Race preparation was well under way when the November lockdown hit, and rowing was forced to stop. The lockdown also meant we were unable to run our annual training camp.

To keep up morale and fitness within the club, the Zoom circuit sessions returned, and ergs were rented to rowers to help with at-home training. Christmas training plans were developed by coaches and captains to maintain fitness over the break. More lockdown training was required before rowers were allowed back onto the water over Easter. Some crews took part in the Virtual Pembroke Regatta race consisting of rowers running 1km each day for 4 days.

As the lockdown was lifted, those who were staying in Cambridge were able to get back to rowing on the water. Crews began training for upcoming races again and everyone enjoyed training in-person with teammates. The first race of the year was Chesterton Head of the Cam. Five senior crews entered the race including mixed

THE YEAR IN COLLEGE 2020-21

women’s boats: WA & WB, and three senior men’s crews: M1 VIII+, M1 IV+, M2. Some excellent results were shown by each crew with WA winning their category and WB coming in 3rd. M1 VIII+ also came 3rd, with M1 IV+ and M2 both coming in 2nd in their respective categories.

Another weekend of racing also saw some excellent results. M1 won the Spring Headto-Head race, a 2x1900m time trial race, by 28 seconds. The next day saw W1, M2, Sirens (graduate boat), NM1 and NW1 compete in the City Sprints 500m regatta. Strong performances were shown by all crews with wins for both NM1 and NW1 in their first races on the Cam. There was further success for the novice boats in the Radegund Mile with both NM1 and NW1 winning their categories again.

The next race of term was another head race, Champs VIII’s, with four CBC crews competing. W1 and NM1 won their categories, with M1 and M2 coming 3rd and 2nd respectively – a very good performance by all. We then had five crews enter the 9s Spring Regatta, a 1000m side-by-side regatta. This race was the most similar to the upcoming May Bumps replacement races so was an excellent training opportunity for crews. M1, M2, W1, W2 and NW1 all entered with strong performances shown by all, especially NW1 who won and W1 came 2nd to a very strong Cantabs Senior Women’s crew.

The final competition on the Cam was the June Eights Regatta (JER). This event replaced May Bumps and was a 4-day 1000m regatta tournament. CBC entered seven crews into the competition: W1, W2, M1, M2, NW1, NM1, NX1 (mixed novice crew). All crews raced the Getting on Race time trial to seed them in the tournament divisions. Excellent times from W1, M1 and M2 saw them race in the 1st division, with M2 being the only M2 crew to race in this division showing them to be the fastest M2 on the Cam. All other crews were seeded in the 2nd division of each category. Day 1 of the competition started well with easy wins for NW1, NM1, W2, W1 and M1. M2 lost in a close race to Downing M1, proving their place in division 1. Day 2 saw wins for all crews in an excellent day of racing. Trialist Bronya Sykes rowed as a substitution in W1 for this day and it was great to see her representing CBC after her success with CUBC this year. Day 3 was another great day of racing for Caius. NX1 lost after a great race against Downing NM1 and both NM1 and NW1 won their very close races. There were also great races in the senior divisions with both W2 and W1 winning by considerable margins. M2 sadly lost in a close race to Pembroke M1 and M1 won in a great race against Lady Margaret M1. Day 4 was the final day of racing with five out of seven crews in the final of their respective divisions. It was a great start to the day when NX1 won their race, followed by wins by both NW1 and NM1 against Jesus NW1 and Emmanuel NM1 respectively, resulting in these crews winning their categories overall! Further success followed when W2 won their tiebreak and final against Queens’ W2 and Wolfson W1 to win their category! Yet more success was achieved by the club when W1 won their final against Downing W1 to win the W1 category and be the fastest women’s college crew on the Cam! M2 had a great final day with a win in a close race against Fitzwilliam M1 and M1 sadly lost in

a close race against Magdalene M1 after a re-race due to a blade clash. Therefore, CBC came away from the competition with 4/7 overall wins – a huge achievement for all and for the club. This puts us in a great position to aim for Headship on both the men’s and women’s side in the Bumps campaigns next year.

Straight after the JER, CBC took a selection of crews to BUCS in Nottingham to race the 2km regatta straight against other university crews. NW1, M2 and M1 competed on the Friday of racing and showed strong performances. NW1 placed 3rd in their time trial in the Beginner I VIII+ category, allowing them to race in the A/B semi-final where they qualified for the A final by winning an amazingly close race. They then went on to win bronze medals in their A final, an amazing result for a college crew. Their result helped contribute to the win of the Women’s Victor Ludorum trophy for the CUBC women’s side since all Caius crews were representing Cambridge in their races. M2 rowed a strong time trial in a competitive Intermediate VIII+ category to place them into the E-final, in which they finished 3rd. M1 came 9th in the time trial in the same category to place them in the A/B semi-final. After finishing 5th in their A/B semi, they raced in the B final and came 2nd after a strong race. W1 and NM1 competed on the Saturday of the competition after W2 had to withdraw due to crew isolation. W1 raced a strong time trial in a very competitive Intermediate VIII+ category to be placed in the C-final where they came 6th after a gutsy race. NM1 came 2nd in their time trial for the Beginner I VIII+ category and they went on to win silver medals!

W1 had not quite had enough of rowing and they competed at Henley Women’s Regatta (HWR) in the Aspirational Academic VIII+ category. They came 8th in the time trial to be placed against Newcastle University B in the side-by-side racing.

Unfortunately W1 lost in a very close race but it was great to have a crew representing CBC at a national event.

As always, CBC has maintained its strong tradition of supporting its athletes through the process of trialling for the University crews. This year’s boat races were luckily not cancelled due to Covid and instead took place on the River Great Ouse, a course very familiar to the university athletes from their intense training here. First Year Caian, Cameron Mackenzie, and Fourth Year, Calum McRae, raced in the lightweight men’s crew which sadly lost against Oxford. Second Year Caian and CUBC Lighweight Men’s Vice-President 2020-21, Luke Andrews, raced in the lightweight men’s spare pair who also sadly lost their race. Caius PhD student, Vera Kunz, raced in the spare pair who won their race to defend their title against Oxford. There was further success for the CUBC women’s side in the reserve race in which Third Year Caian, Catherine King, raced in Blondie to obtain a seven-length victory against the Oxford reserve boat. Second Year, Bronya Sykes, contributed to the Blue Boat’s victory over Oxford by ¾ length and has been elected Women’s President for 2021-22. On the men’s side, Third Year Reef Boericke was selected to race in the Goldie boat in the reserve men’s race who won their race by 6 lengths. Caian Ben Dyer raced in the Men’s Blue Boat who were also victorious over Oxford with a 1 length win.

There was also success at BUCS for our trialists, with Cameron winning gold in the Lightweight Championship 2- and bronze in the Lightweight Championship 4-. Ben Dyer also showed strong performances in the Championship 8+ and Championship 4- yet missed out on medal positions.

On the women’s side, Catherine won gold in the Lightweight Championship 2x and Lightweight Championship 2- with her twin sister Gemma (St John’s) and Bronya won a bronze medal in the Championship 4- race. Vera also showed a great performance in the Championship 8+ category, coming 5th in a strong field. Catherine and Bronya also competed at HWR with CUBC, with Vera racing in the Caius W1 crew. Bronya competed in the Championship 4- crew which sadly missed out on the final in a close loss to Newcastle University. Catherine competed with her sister in the Lightweight 2x boat but sadly lost in the final. CBC will continue to support the university athletes with their training and welcome them back to race in future May Bumps campaigns.

Club members were also able to enjoy a slightly different end of term Boat Club Dinner to celebrate the many successes throughout the year.

The club has been financially comfortable this year since for a large part of the year no expenses were made due to Covid lockdowns and a lack of racing. When the lockdown at the start of the year was lifted, we were able to start racing again and had the funds to enter a large variety of races for all crews. Due to the generous funding from the GCSU this year we were also able to partially subsidise the new rowers with their first piece of racing kit which helped with novice retention within the club. An exciting purchase for the club this year was a new Filippi boat for the W1 crew. Alumni funds were used to make this purchase and the boat was named after Caius rower, Melissa

Caius M1 at Boat Club Dinner Wilson. Melissa had qualified for the Team GB women’s 4x for Tokyo 2020, yet had to sadly withdraw from selection due to illness and injury. W1 were lucky enough to receive an inspirational talk from Melissa in the run up to the JER and she came to support the crew at HWR. This year we postponed our sponsorship money from Humphrey Cobbold (PureGym) since little expenses were made at the start of the year. This funding is due to continue next year and is used to support the payment of coaches and to facilitate training camps and off-Cam races to provide fun for all the club. We have finished the year in a comfortable financial position.

We remain very grateful for the immense support of the College to CBC. The funding we receive not only allows us to remain one of the strongest boat clubs on the Cam, but also increases the accessibility of the club to all college members. We are able to heavily subsidise subs payments for each rower enabling many students to access and enjoy the sport who may not have been able to without the funding from College.

It is hoped this report has given a flavour of the incredible achievements and successes from throughout what has been a very challenging year for all. We also hope it has shown the sense of community CBC provides for all its members to provide a place for athletes to enjoy training.

Cricket Club 2020-21 has been an extremely enjoyable and successful year for everyone involved with Caius cricket. This season we have played matches in Cuppers and against a number of touring sides, most of which were held at our Barton Road ground. We also held regular indoor and outdoor training sessions before and throughout the season as well as an end-of-season social.

This year the team became the first Caius team to win a Cuppers semi-final since 2013, showing a marked improvement in performance over the last few years. Wins over Magdalene, Homerton and Jesus – teams which have beaten us regularly in the past – were the highlights of the season. A strong influx of Fresher talent boosted both player availability and the standard of the team throughout the season, which helped us to win the vast majority of our matches. There were a number of notable individual performances – Samir Sardana scored unbeaten fifties in wins over Magdalene and Jesus, with Tom Murray also scoring fifties against Corpus Christi and Fitzwilliam.

Kailen Patel and Rehan Gamage also regularly produced brilliant spells with the ball in Cuppers which often set us up to win games.

We did this using a large pool of players from across the College ranging from new Freshers to PhD students, with many people playing their first game for Caius this year.

With only a couple of current players leaving Cambridge this year we are confident of having an even stronger team next year, where we endeavour to bring Cuppers home for the first time since 2013.

Dancesport Society The Gonville & Caius Dancesport Society is made up of a host of keen ballroom and Latin dancers across a range of years, subjects and abilities. We all train with the University society, and come together as a team each year to compete in Cuppers. Caius is known throughout the University society due to our high number of enthusiastic and talented dancers.

Unfortunately, due to the high level of physical contact dancesport necessitates, we have been very limited in the activities we have been able to carry out this year. During the Lent Term the University held an online internal competition which was entered by six Caius dancers – Maria Fala, Rachel Hambly, Ruweena Perera, Keziah Defriend, Emily Gibbs and Emilia Lawer. It was extremely impressive to see the dedication shown by our dancers to learn and record new choreographies in lockdown in less-than-ideal conditions. We were also delighted to be able to host an in-person training day on our sports grounds in the Easter Term. This was the first time many of us had been able to train alongside other dancers in many months and it was an immense boost to morale for all involved.

Committee members were: President: Emilia Lawer Senior Treasurer: Guy Emerson

Debating Society We have two main goals as a society. The first is to enable students at Caius to get involved in debating at whatever level they wish through organising regular intracollege debates and semi-regular inter-college debates. The second is to provide a platform for discourse and debate by organising speaker events and show debates.

Unfortunately this year has been a non-event for the debating society. Due to Covid restrictions in the Michaelmas and Lent Terms the only option was to host online events and the demand for this was low. Easter Term presented more viable options, but exams meant demand was still low.

Co-Presidents: Scarlet Rowe Wills Wynn Thomas

Feminism & Gender Society The Caius Feminism & Gender Society (previously 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

28

THE YEAR IN COLLEGE 2020-21

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. Due to a decreased engagement with society events, the previous presidents aimed to hold more informal events, in order to create a space to discuss ideas and personal experiences. This aim was heavily restricted by the impact of Covid. We also aimed to establish connections with the GCSU Women’s and NonBinary Officer, to integrate the society more closely with other parts of the College.

Our aims to hold informalised social discussions this year were heavily disrupted due to the restrictions imposed by the pandemic. As a result of social distancing and isolation measures, no in-person events were held by the society this year. Our society Facebook page has been very successful over the last twelve months and now has over 500 followers, including accounts both inside and outside of the University. We have worked virtually to promote different causes and raise awareness on a variety of issues including by-elections for the Cambridge SU’s Women’s campaign, the Say Her/His Name initiatives which aims to raise the profile of ethnic minority victims of police brutality, and the founding of the College based journal The Sundial (a space for students to reflect on women’s/nb issues).

President: Ciara Mayers

Football Club We are the College men’s football club with 3 teams that compete in the CUAFL league and cup competitions. In addition to the competitions we 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.

In the light of the Covid pandemic, it has been difficult this year for the club with games, socials etc. limited and many events being cancelled at the last minute. Nonetheless, we have made the most out of it all and the football training sessions provided a great opportunity for Freshers to include themselves into the Caius community.

Owing to the Covid restrictions, we were only allowed to play competitive intercollege games and internal college games for the first 4 weeks of the Michaelmas Term. The 2nd XI and 3rd XI played well in their league games and the 1st XI won their one and only league game. Sadly after these weeks and with the Lent Term being online, the 2nd XI and 3rd XI competitive league and cup games were cancelled and compensated by playing friendlies where the teams performed admirably.

On a positive note, the 1st XI began Easter Term in the first round of the Plate competition and after a series of great performances against Darwin and Girton, we

THE YEAR IN COLLEGE 2020-21

29

reached the final against Downing. After a huge performance by the lads, GCAFC brought home the plate in dramatic fashion- the second time in GCAFC history for the 1st team to win silverware.

We continued in the spirit of last year and completed a charity run for Wings for Life which went very well, doubling the target for money raised. Funding from Red Bull was secured to obtain tops for the lads kitted out in new tops Committee members were: President: Tom Pearson Treasurer: Freddie Cassidy Social Secretary: Jonny Piper Kit Secretary: Fergal Hanna First Team Captain: Charlie Wilson First Team Vice-Captain: Ben Adams Second Team Captain: John Atherstone Third Team Captain: Ed Cator

Hockey Club Elliot Bealey, Captain, writes: It has been a strange year this year, with Covid disrupting play over the Lent Term and changing the format of the league to make everything safe and secure. Writing risk assessments was a novel change which hopefully no future captain will have to go through! The cancellation of the Lent Term was made up for by having Cuppers in the summer which ensured the weather held out for most matches.

We moved from 11-a-side to 7-a-side in the league to allow for teams who had less numbers (although this year we ended up having enough for 11-a-side several times and cursed our luck!). This was a positive move overall, allowing for players to have more time on the ball and develop their skills without having the huge amounts of empty space 11-a-side tends to offer. The ability to play clever hockey is also more useful, a crucial area to develop one’s hockey for higher levels. This led to some particularly exciting team performances which have left me excited for the years to come, particularly after one match against King’s in the early stages of Cuppers.

Several players participated at various levels in the Varsity matches this year and will hopefully continue representing the University in later years, bringing experience and advice to the College team. In addition, the University Club has extended the College Academy with appointment of permanent secretaries, and more regular games; introducing more regular training may allow some Caius players to play at a higher level.

30

THE YEAR IN COLLEGE 2020-21

While personal development is a great aim, the main outcome and desire is for people to have fun and enjoy the game. The fact that the majority of players ended up coming week after week with plenty of enthusiasm was great to see and should bode well for future years. We have also finally ordered a new kit for the team, and although Covid – and organisation – has stymied taking a team photo, it has been great to see the team finally in the same kit!

This is my final year as captain, but in the coming year, we have two new very capable co-captains, Tom Murray and Kirsten Oag, who have several aims for the upcoming year. A huge aim is to increase attendance for the women’s side of the club, allowing a more equal gender split.

Towards the end of the Easter Term 2021, several social hockey sessions were organised and were very successful. Since pitch hire at St John’s is relatively cheap, we aim to increase this throughout the 2021-22 season to become a regular occurrence, potentially every fortnight. By encouraging current hockey players within the College and incoming Freshers to attend early in the Michaelmas Term, we even may manage to field a second team. Social hockey and club activities early during that term should help.

Law Society Gonville & Caius Law Society comprises all Caius law students (from Freshers to postgraduate students) as well as other Caius students who have an interest in the law and potential career paths within it. We host a variety of events including socials at the start of every term, networking events with different law firms as well as the Annual Law Dinner after Easter Term examinations. Activities this year have been very limited due to the Covid pandemic. However in 2021-22, we are planning to increase the range of events we host to keep attendees engaged, for example, a Christmas party, barrister talks and speaker events regarding alternative career paths accessible with a law degree.

Committee members were: President: Peter Ransby Secretary: Georgia Batcheldor Treasurer: Joshua Hare

Medical Society The society provides academic support and social opportunities for medical and veterinary students, ranging from an extensive bank of resources on the society Moodle page to regular society socials, including the annual Christmas party, garden party and CMS dinner. Throughout the Covid pandemic the CMS has continued to thrive with special provisions including: • Online events to maintain a sense of community during lockdowns

THE YEAR IN COLLEGE 2020-21

31

• Fresher’s stash to welcome the incoming First Years in the absence of our usual events • Welfare care-packages and events to remind students of the support available during exams During the year both ‘virtual’ and ‘in-person’ activities were organised according to any Covid restrictions that were in place. A central date in the calendar of every Caius medic is the CMS dinner which is attended by around 100 students as well as a number of Fellows and supervisors. It is the event at which the incoming committee is announced.

A replacement ‘Virtual Dinner’ was held in February 2020 via GatherTown.io, with an inperson dinner organised by the outgoing President and Vice-President in the June.

During the pandemic, all social events were moved online to the Zoom Platform with a number of socials being run, including a quiz to introduce the Freshers to the society.

In the Easter Term plans for an in-person garden party were proactively cancelled due to rising numbers of students isolating due to Covid within Caius. We hope to run a replacement event in October to welcome the 2021 cohort, and properly introduce the 2020 Freshers to the society.

Talks included introductory talks for the Freshers on the course, getting started in Cambridge, and how to make the most of revision, covering topics including the management of stress and imposter syndrome. Other talks included an ‘Introduction to Clinical School’ for the incoming clinical medics and a ‘Preparing for Tripos’ talk for the First and Second Years, who both sat full Tripos exams for the first time this year.

Our annual Access Day was held virtually in the Lent Term, with talks from Caius Fellows and ‘Mock supervisions’ provided by current students. As part of new Access initiatives, a CMS Instagram account was established to share student experiences of medicine at Caius. This is alongside an ongoing redesign of the society website, and the development of a student prospectus.

Welfare events included regular emails and reminders of contacts so that students were aware of the various routes to access support, as well as sweet treats to raise spirits!

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. However it has been a difficult year for the society with the Covid pandemic as it is difficult to perform virtually! However, we have managed to hold several events to promote and enjoy music at Caius this year!

In the Michaelmas Term we held two virtual socials/quizzes, where we met Freshers and welcomed back older members of the society. The in-person Michaelmas Concert on Saturday 31 October 2020 was also livestreamed. We held the performances inperson, socially distanced (after much risk assessing and planning) in the Bateman Auditorium and livestreamed the concert to the society Facebook page. A series of livestreamed recitals from the Bateman Auditorium and the College Chapel was also made available on the College Facebook page.

Another two virtual socials/quizzes were held in the Lent Term in a similar format to those in the Michaelmas Term. A ‘Virtual GCMS Dinner’ was an extended social planned to replace an in-person dinner. There were drinks menus, breakout rooms and virtual games planned for the evening. Further virtual recitals were held in the Easter Term. We managed to have a lovely in-person dinner on Sunday 20 June. It was socially distanced with limited numbers, held across the Fellows Dining room and Senior Parlour and was attended by a mix of Fellows, music students and GCMS members. We organised a garden party in May week on Wednesday 23June which was held outside under a marquee in the Harvey Court Gardens and there was live music, refreshments, and snacks. It was limited to 30 people in line with government regulations.

Natural Science Society Caius NatSciSoc represents students reading natural sciences at Caius and normally we host social events each term in-person, the main events being a pub crawl in the Michaelmas Term to welcome the Freshers, the annual dinner in the Lent Term and then a garden party in the Easter Term. We pride ourselves on being accessible to students in all years of study and this year have seen membership from graduate students as well. We are a friendly society where students have the opportunity to meet peers that can offer advice and company.

Due to the Covid pandemic activities this year have been very limited. In the Michaelmas Term there was a Freshers’ quiz night on Zoom. There was an online replacement in the Lent Term for for the Annual dinner with break-out rooms and games again via Zoom. An in-person Annual dinner was arranged in the Easter Term, but the original plans fell through due to Covid restrictions. However a solid backup plan was in place for socially distanced dining that enabled the event to go forward as planned despite several committee members self-isolating at the very last moment.

We compete in the CULNC league, but due to COVID the league was called off in the Michaelmas Term and was also cancelled in the Lent Term, and so we competed in a friendly league for the Easter Term. We typically play two matches a week, one ladies and one mixed, with training in the week if time allows. Everyone is welcome, from advanced players to those who have never played before, but we remain a high-achieving and well-respected team across the colleges, with an inclusive and continually expanding social community.

The Easter Term Leagues were hosted by CULNC, but independent of the CULNC League, so these results do not affect our position in the league. When the league recommences in Michaelmas 2021, we will begin from our most recent position in March 2020.

We organised an event specifically to welcome and get to know Freshers, as well as anyone who had not played for GCNC before. It was very successful, massively

increasing participation for the rest of the year, and the number of people in College who can play netball! We ran a session teaching the male attendees how to play, and were able to play some great matches by the end.

We have attempted to increase our presence in College, and through both word of mouth and increasing our social media presence, we gained almost 100 new members this year.

We got an order of GCNC tops in and have managed to set up a new bank account, meaning that we will no longer be constrained by our budget, as we have done in the past.

To celebrate the end of the academic year, once groups of 30 were allowed to meet outside, we organised an inter-year netball tournament, with excellent turnouts from the First, Second, Third, and Fourth Year teams, who each nominated captains. It was so much fun and we received a lot of comments from others telling us how much they had enjoyed it. It was a close call, but the Second Year team prevailed, much to the captains’ delight. It was an excellent opportunity for people to enjoy the sun, play some really impressive netball, catch up with friends, and meet some new people in different years.

Rugby Club Unfortunately, due to the Covid pandemic, rugby this year has been severely restricted.

However, we have managed to run training sessions throughout Michaelmas and Easter Terms in accordance with RFU guidelines. We participated in ‘ready4rugby’ fixtures in the Michaelmas Term, up until lockdown was reinstated, and then again at the start of the Easter Term. Later in Easter Term, as lockdown eased and grassroots rugby was allowed to move back towards normality, we played in two inter-collegiate rugby 7s tournaments, coming second at each. In addition to this, we regularly attended the touch rugby tournaments organised by the college league weekly throughout Easter Term, which proved a good way to introduce new players to both the club, and rugby as a sport.

This has been a year disappointingly lacking in rugby, but we have all been surprised and encouraged by the level of engagement we have had from existing members of the club, as well as our substantial cohort of Freshers. We look forward to welcoming new members to our club and returning to full-contact rugby in the coming year.

Shadwell Society Due to the pandemic, this year has been particularly hard for Cambridge theatre with the majority of shows being cancelled and moved online. Unfortunately, the many productions that Shadwell were planning on supporting and funding ended up not happening. However, we decided to use this time to help promote Cambridge theatre amongst Freshers who have had limited opportunities to access the Cambridge theatre scene. We hosted a ‘Demystifying Theatre’ event in the Michaelmas Term where we ran a short presentation and Q&A style event. We also decided to support student short films instead of only focusing on theatre. We have funded two student-written short films which are currently in pre-production: Ferret and Flowers for Katy (which is also backed by the BFI). We have also just started funding the student documentary project Contraception: A Hard Pill to Swallow?. As we were unable to fund our usual theatre aims (e.g. one ADC main a term and several corpus shows), we have discovered a new way to run as a society and are excited about this possibility of providing support for more artistic projects, continuing with our theatrical pursuits and expanding into other realms like performance art and opera amongst other!

Shakespeare Society The Gonville & Caius Shakespeare Society is one of the College’s oldest societies (founded in 1883) and meets roughly three times per term. The Shakespeare Society is unique in being made up of both Fellows and students who attend to read parts in plays agreed on at previous meetings or, alternately, determined by the President and/or Secretary of the society. Our membership ranges from undergraduates and PhD students to the Master of the College. Previously a secret Society the group is now open to and promoted amongst the whole of the College. We read at least one Shakespeare text per term but are otherwise open to suggestions from members as to what they wish to read or share with the rest of the society.

Due the social distancing and isolation measures implemented to prevent the spread of Covid the society was sadly unable to hold any in person events. Ideas to hold readings via online platforms (including the potential for radio plays) were also unsuccessful due to the increased stress and workload on students and Fellows during the pandemic.

Squash Club The Caius Squash Club gathers those in College who wish to play squash. In normal times, this means weekly training sessions, organising fixtures with other colleges, and taking part in Cuppers.

Caius squash has had a rough time this year, as the College Council decreed that the squash courts were too dangerous due to the Covid pandemic and so no squash was able to be played in Michaelmas or Lent Terms. The main accomplishment this year was persuading the College Council to reopen the squash courts, even if only one of the two courts and for household members only in Easter Term. The squash courts saw good use after that, being booked out most of the time. This was helped by the provision of squash rackets and balls so that those without the equipment could still play.

Captain: Edouard Barrier

Tennis Society The Tennis Society practises weekly and also plays in the intercollegiate tennis league and Cuppers competition. The society is open to any member of Caius and is for any ability from none to a pro.

Due to Covid and the Michaelmas and Lent Terms’ lockdowns, Caius was only able to play one to two weeks of intercollegiate matches in the Michaelmas League and Cuppers that was reorganised in the Easter Term. This year, however, despite the lack of matches, Caius had a record number of members, participants and interested match players, such that we were able to submit three teams in the Michaelmas intercollegiate league! In the Michaelmas intercollegiate league, Caius 1 won both their matches, Caius 2 won their match and Caius 3 unfortunately was not able to play before the lockdown. If lockdown had not been imposed, we believe that all of our Caius Teams would have continued to excel in their divisions.

In Cuppers, we submitted only 2 teams because of exams. Caius 2 made it past the first round where Caius 1 got a bye. In the second round, both teams faced tough competition where Caius 1 lost to the would-be Cuppers Champions of 2021 and Caius 2 lost in a tight set of matches against Clare. A major accomplishment was the record turnout of players we had at each practice session: we were able to host 3 sessions per week where multiple sessions would be fully booked out! Compared to last year where only four players turned up regularly, this was a big change and was some light in these times. We played a bit on the grass courts as well and received funding to install new nets and posts on both hard courts. At the end of the year, we hosted a casual Caius Tennis Picnic where food and Paper Plate Awards were distributed.

Women’s & Non-Binary Football Club We have a large women’s and nonbinary football team at Caius, with over 20 active players. We hold training once a week at Barty, and aim to play a match against another college most weekends, competing in both the league and Cuppers.

We compete in the First division of three for the league. Due to Covid we were only able to play three games this year. We played a league match against Fitz/Corpus and drew at 4-4, we played a Cuppers match against Emmanuel and lost 8-2, which was a devastating blow, and finally we played a friendly match against Trinity winning 8-6.

The Senior Bursar’s Report 2020-21 Master and Fellows

Robert Gardiner, Senior Bursar, writes:

(108 - 109)

Plagues This really was the year of Covid and it affected the College severely. As in 1593, 1602, 1605 and Easter 2020, we again had non-resident terms. ‘Sent into the country’, to use the language of the 17th Century, we had to send most undergraduates and many Nicolas graduates there again in Lent Term 2021. Since then, we Simcik Arese Robert Gardiner Bursar haveSenior had the Omicron variant DoS but in weArchitecture have managed to accommodate students here.

Plagues cost the students a clear path through their education and frustrate much of their wider experience. Bursarially, plagues cost the College lost income. My running total is around £3m. The College is, however, financially resilient and the financial damage is not fundamental.

Finances Operationally it is hard to give a short, cogent summary of how we are doing in comparison to previous years as Covid has disrupted the visibility of the financial trend of our activities. Therefore it is hard to respond to the question posed by the Examiners of Accounts, a small body of Fellows required by the Statutes to examine the accounts ] ] ] and quiz the auditors and others in the College, including me. Last year, they asked: ‘Is the College living within its means?’ It can hardly do that if it loses £3m to Covid but on the other hand we had excellent endowment returns, taking us closer to the goal of £300m my predecessor proposed as a self-sufficiency level. I support the notion that the College needs that sort of level, now perhaps somewhat more, to underpin the costs of refurbishments of our fine operational estate without recourse to benefactors.

With that I provide a commentary on the finances of the College as shown in the published report and accounts, and abridged at the end of this article.

Education: academic income – £4.0m; costs – £8.9m The number of undergraduates rose as a result of the changes to A-level assessment required by Covid. The changes meant fewer than normal offer-holders failed to meet their conditions. This ‘bulge’ year will affect finances for a further two to three years.

Academic expenditure rose and this is where the vast majority of the College’s charitable benefit is financially applied. Total costs rose unusually because of an accounting requirement for multi-period studentships where an increase in the awards College infla@on calcula@on given at the year-end required additional accounting costs to be recognised.

The closures revealed the high level of continuing, fixed costs associated with the accommodation and catering activity although departments made great efforts to limit unnecessary expenditure.

Other expenditure – £7.1m This figure can fluctuate significantly each year. As well as general and administrative costs and interest on borrowings it includes certain changes to pensions liabilities as calculated under financial reporting standards. However the major component is the total costs of managing the College’s endowment which on a full look-through basis – i.e. considering as far as visible the underlying costs of investment funds – amounted to £5.6m in the year. Managing a directly held property portfolio is always heavy on management fees but the most significant component was the performance fees incurred in underlying financial investment funds which enjoyed a remarkable performance.

Donations – £5.0m The total fluctuates in particular because of the receipt (or not) of a small number of high value gifts. 2020-21 saw a renewing of strategies and methods of engagement with potential donors after changes in the Development and Alumni Relations Office and the appointment of a new Director of Development. Naturally Covid limited faceto-face engagement with donors and potential donors.

The College is enormously grateful to its benefactors who give for a variety of defined or preferred causes. Donations received in the year included £0.9m for student support, £0.9m for teaching and research and the remaining £3.2m for buildings or general purposes.

The College was remembered in the wills of several Caians including a very substantial legacy from the late Jonathan Denbigh (1961).

University contribution – £0.2m This is the College’s contribution to the Colleges’ Fund which aims to reduce disparity of college wealth. The contribution is based broadly the level of endowment assets per student. Those with more resource per student contribute more. Caius was the fifth largest contributor. Donations by the Colleges’ Fund to poorer colleges were exceptionally made available for immediate expenditure to relieve the financial impact of Covid.

Endowment value – £250m net; gains of £38.6m The investment performance amounted to a vintage year at 17.3%. The financial assets produced 20.8%, net of the very significant costs of underlying performance fees in the many funds in which the endowment is invested. The property portfolio produced a more modest 10.8%, even after the challenges encountered during Covid in the portfolio of retail units in central Cambridge.

The College continues to consider its master-planning, with the aim of reducing the number of main sites over time from four to three.

Other assets and liabilities The other current assets and liabilities of £2.5m are the daily working capital. Beyond that the College has two substantial debts: £10m under the ‘Colleges’ Bond’ due 2042 plus £5.6m in amortising loans taken out for the refurbishment of Harvey Court and the kitchen. It helps to smooth the call on cash to borrow for such refurbishments at favourable rates which the College can command. The College also ensures all staff have the opportunity to join a high-quality pension fund. These however have funding deficits. The main exposure in the £7.0m of pension liabilities is in respect of the Cambridge Colleges Federated Pension Scheme (CCFPS) where accounting rules require recognition of the liability on a very prudent basis which can produce alarming

deficits. Actuarially, rather than on an accounts basis, the fund has a deficit but remains on its planned ‘flight path’ to repair the deficit in the recovery period.

Reserves and trust funds – £377.6m The endowment represents the investment of general unrestricted reserves which are not represented by other assets, including operational buildings, and restricted trust funds with specific purposes concentrated on bursaries, hardship, travel, teaching or research fellowships, scholarships, studentships and prizes. The free reserves are £147m and have been used to absorb the deficits arising from Covid. The College carries reserves for various reasons but, as for other charities, one of them is to see the organisation through difficulties. The issue then is to reinstate them to ensure that they are there for future generations experiencing difficulties. Surprisingly, the College might actually come out of the Covid period with significantly higher reserves than it entered it, thanks to excellent endowment returns and the generosity of our benefactors.

Final thanks The Bursary staff work hard to operate, control and report the finances of the College and to enhance the value of the financial and property assets. This year particular thanks are due to the retiring Finance Manager, Raymond Tait, who has worked for the College for just over 20 years. I shall miss his daily contribution to the smooth functioning of Bursary – and the delight of his Shetland brogue.

Thank you very much to the many Fellows, alumni and friends who helped us create a varied series of virtual events. Below is a brief summary of each. At the time of writing, all the virtual events and ‘Fridays at Five’ recitals are available to view on our YouTube channel.

Empire and slavery in the age of revolution – November 2020 At a time when Caius like many other historic institutions is examining its own ties to Jennifer Phillips Bursar & Richard Staley and the public is Domestic slave-ownership, being drawn into debates over the significance of Operations Director DoS in HPS, Tutor, History of Physics global legacies of Empire and slavery, three books published in 2020 by Caius historians aim to shed light on these complex and controversial questions: Bronwen Everill’s (2015) Not Made By Slaves: Ethical Capitalism in the Age of Abolition; Sujit Sivasundaram’s (2002) Waves Across the South: A New History of Revolution and Empire and Michael Taylor’s (2007) The Interest: How the British Establishment Resisted the Abolition of Slavery.

All three authors were panellists at this event, chaired by Professor Peter Mandler (2001) and Jake Richards (2010).

Five decades of Computer Science – February 2021 Peter Robinson (1971), Quentin Stafford-Fraser (1986), Isabel Luckett (1998), Ian Davies (2004), and Paula Buttery (2013) gathered to discuss their time at Caius and how the subject has developed over the past five decades. It was a hugely informative and entertaining event with many a trip down the CompSci memory lane. Trojan Room coffee pot anyone?

Science of learning – March 2021 Dr Michelle Ellefson (2011), Dr Maria Tsapali (2014), Dr Carly Christensen (2015), Dr Tanya Paes and Claudia Chu (2013) discussed the development of thinking skills and the science behind them. The session provided an overview of cutting-edge findings as well as showcasing Caius research and was held on Monday 29 March 2021.

Arts, museums and public engagement – April 2021 This online roundtable discussion brought together art museum professionals and academics to talk about how museums engage with the general public through exhibitions, community programmes, and social media. The panel was chaired by Melissa Calaresu (1997) with contributions from Victoria Avery, Keeper of Applied Arts at the Fitzwilliam Museum; Bernhard Fulda (2002), Chatong So Fellow and Director of Studies in History at Sidney Sussex College; and Rachel Sinfield, Head of Communications and Engagement at the Fitzwilliam Museum.

Divergent views on responsible investing – June 2021 In the last of the virtual event series, we turned to exploring ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) ratings, frequently used by asset managers to help investors select assets with good financial prospects. The panel consisted of Elroy Dimson (2016), Chair of the Centre for Endowment Asset Management at Cambridge Judge Business School; Robert Gardiner (2018) Senior Bursar; and Lauren Smart (1996), the Chief Commercial Officer of S&P Global Sustainable 1. They considered the development of ESG ratings, their usefulness and reliability as well as the extent and reasons for disagreement among the leading firms.

Amid the slow lifting of restrictions in the summer, William Vereker (1985) kindly hosted a small reception at his home. It was a sign of things to come as September 2021 finally saw College abuzz with alumni for the Benefactors’ Day on 11 September and two Annual Gatherings on 18 and 25 September.

FINANCE, DEVELOPMENT AND THE CAIUS FOUNDATION

In June 2020 College Council approved the 5-year strategy for alumni relations and fundraising. We have positioned the Development Office to devote its attention equally to alumni relations and fundraising, and defined fundraising priorities in the context of the College’s strategic priorities. Our fundraising is focussing on opportunities for the talented young people to achieve their potential: from programmes encouraging the best to apply to Caius to creating opportunities for young academics at the start of their careers. This means that we are fundraising to support widening participation projects, undergraduate and graduate bursaries and research fellowships.

The College, of course, has a continuing responsibility for the architectural heritage with all the constraints such inspiring setting brings. From time to time we will need your support to realise capital projects of great significance.

Fundraising Report 2020-21 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 2020-21 with £4.96m pledged and £4.75m received.

Most of the gifts you made in the past year are unrestricted (£3.27m), closely followed by various projects benefitting current students (£867K). 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 21 individuals this year and we are recording approximately £54.4m 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 2020-21 those gifts amounted to £2.8m.

2020-21 Caius Fund Thank you so much to the 1,400+ people who donated to the Caius Fund in 2020-21.

Together, you donated an extraordinary £441,000. Your kindness helped students in various ways throughout the year: • contributing to the provision of bursaries and scholarships, including the first Tammy Chen Graduate Studentships; • funding undergraduate teaching and pastoral support for all students; • aiding sport, music and other extra-curricular activities; • and enabling an expansion of our Outreach programme.

More than 300 people donated to our first ever ‘Giving Day’ appeal in May 2021. We hoped this type of online appeal, making use of social media and email, would reach many new donors throughout our community. Ninety-eight people made their first ever gift to the College in response, and many others donated for the first time in several years. We are grateful to everyone who gave so generously, resulting in £140,000 for student support and Access & Outreach, including the appointment of our London Outreach Officer.

In September 2021, we ran our first major telephone campaign in more than two years.

A team of nine dedicated students worked with great enthusiasm over two weeks, speaking with almost 700 Caians and friends. In addition to sharing updates from College and learning about how the many challenges of the pandemic had impacted our wider community, our team also sought donations for the Caius Fund. Once again, Caians proved to be tremendously generous, with more than 200 choosing to donate.

The telephone campaign resulted in gifts and pledges totalling £399,000.

The Court of Benefactors There are now 659 Members of the Court of Benefactors; 15 Gonville Fellow Benefactors, eight of whom are Members of the John Caius Guild whose names are engraved on the College’s Benefactors’ Wall, 85 Founders of the Court of Benefactors, 71 Members of the Stephen Hawking Circle, 263 full Members and 225 Associate Members of the Court of Benefactors. During the past year, the College Council has elected a further Founder of the Court of Benefactors, three Members of the Stephen Hawking Circle, and 11 Members and 11 Associate Members of the Court of Benefactors. A full list of the Members of the Court of Benefactors can be found on page 118.

THE YEAR IN COLLEGE 2020-21 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 2020 to September 2021, the club’s social calendar fell foul of the pandemic. Regretfully, both the Annual Dinner 2021 and the Bumps Event 2021 were both cancelled due to the pandemic. Hopefully these will be able to take place in 2021-22 Any Caian can be a club member. Furthermore all club events allow members to bring a guest.

Caius House, Battersea

Delrita Agyapong, Director, writes: There’s no doubt that 20220-21 has been another challenging year. Whilst Caius House continues to operate differently from previous years, we have still been able to offer services and support throughout the pandemic.

In January 2021, Caius House opened and started providing services for the more vulnerable of our members. We found that they needed support not just for themselves, but also for their families. We offered support and distributed food to their families where necessary.

Additionally, we had a group of girls undertake a virtual walk from Tower Bridge to the Eiffel Tower, and we encouraged them to get out and walk every day. This also provided support to the members of the group.

During the Easter holidays, we delivered an Easter provision with activities for local young people on free school meals. The provision provided a hot meal every day for the attendees. This structure continued into the summer when we provided a full fun packed provision for ages four to 18 years old for 5 weeks, providing up to 60 hot meals per day. Activities involved water sports, basketball camps, basketball competitions, and a free day residential in Sussex. It was lovely to see the building bustling with activity and young people again. The feedback from both parents and young people was positive and we are going to continue to provide activities during the half term and Christmas holidays.

One thing we have noticed following on from the lockdowns and Covid has been the increase in young people needing additional support to help maintain positive mental health. Anxiety levels are higher and getting back to ‘normal’ is challenging for some.

We were lucky to receive funding to be able to employ two part-time counsellors to provide sessions for young people needing additional support. The majority of the staff are also being trained as Youth Mental Health First Aiders to be better able to identify the needs of the young people that we work with. This is incredibly important given the 18 months that we have had.

The other concern that young people have is around their future and employment prospects. In response to this, we are increasing our employability programmes and are hoping to set up the mentoring programme with Gonville & Caius students to make our programme even more impactful.

Overall, it’s been another challenging year, but we are proud to have been able to continue to offer much-needed support and distraction for our young people and their families.

Caius Lodge

Richard Field (1969), Secretary writes: 2020 was a non-year for Freemasonry as Lodge meetings were suspended which meant that our November meeting was cancelled, as was our February 2021 meeting.

However, our normal June Installation meeting was possible, except that Caius could not host our dinner until July!

As a result, after following Masonic Protocol, it meant that we had to hold our normal meeting a week late on 11 June in London, with only seven members to make it quorate. Our only business was the important task to re-elect the Master and Treasurer for the succeeding year, which we accomplished, then had lunch on Great Queen Street, locally.

We then had to hold an Emergency Meeting in Cambridge on 16 July to install Bob Kottritsch (1969) as Master and hold our usual dinner in College – though separated on five tables with no singing of the College song! This was due to Government restrictions ending the Monday after, 19 July! Life can be so complicated.

Luckily, the November meeting brought our Masonic life almost back to normal, though the death of Edgar Harborne (1952) in September dampened our spirits as we listened to Jack Eames (1954) read the eulogy for him. On a lighter note, we were able to present a 50 Year Certificate to Peter Jennings (1962), for which our Metropolitan Grand Inspector, Nick Garnish, did the honours. Two joining members were announced and more of them in next year’s report.

Obituaries of Fellows

DENBIGH, JONATHAN (1961), 14 February 2021 Gonville Fellow Benefactor 2016-2021 His brother Philip (1960) writes: In his early life Jon Denbigh was educated at St Faith’s School followed by The Leys school, both in Cambridge.

In his teens Jon had some medical problems including depression but, after being awarded an aegrotat BSc in mathematics and physics in 1960 from Edinburgh University, he went on in 1961 to Gonville & Caius, Cambridge where he graduated with a BA. In 1967 he worked at the National Physical Laboratory for four years and then in 1971 he started a PhD at Kings College London which was awarded in 1979. After this Jon had jobs at St Georges Hospital, followed finally by seven years at the Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (DERA), leaving there in 1997. With a change of interests, he then chose to study economics at Kingston University where he was awarded a BA in 2002. He continued his interest in economics in 2003 studying for an MSc at Birkbeck College which was awarded in 2005.

Jon then retired at the age of 67 and settled down to a quiet existence in Kingston upon Thames where music became an ever more important part of his life. In his later years he was a member of the Thames Philharmonia orchestra playing both violin and viola. Following his death, the orchestra dedicated the performance of Elgar’s Enigma Variation No 9 to him in a concert held on the 10 October 2021.

In these later years Jon chose to commemorate his father, Professor Kenneth Denbigh, by funding the Kenneth Denbigh Lectureship at Caius. This was done by setting up a Deed of Variation on his mother’s will that would divert his entire share of his mother’s estate to the College. He was honoured by the College by being elected as a Gonville Fellow Benefactor.

HEWISH, ANTONY (1942), 13 September 2021 Research Fellow 1952-61 Honorary Fellow 1976-2021 From The Guardian 3 October 2021, Michael Rowan-Robinson writes: In 1967, a team led by the radio astronomer Antony Hewish, who has died aged 97, discovered pulsars, rapidly pulsating radio sources that turned out to be due to rotating, magnetised neutron stars, the ultradense collapsed remnants of massive stars. This was one of the most exciting astronomical events of the second half of the 20th Century: the precise timing of the pulses from these objects is more accurate than the best atomic clocks and has allowed precision tests of general relativity. The team assembled

by Hewish – Jocelyn Bell, John Pilkington, Paul Scott and Robin Collins – all played a crucial role in the detection and confirmation of the first pulsar, with attention naturally focusing on Bell, the research student who first noticed unusual signals.

Seven years later, Hewish and Martin Ryle jointly received the Nobel prize for physics, ‘for their pioneering work in radio astrophysics: Ryle for his observations and inventions, in particular of the aperture synthesis technique, and Hewish for his decisive role in the discovery of pulsars’. Ryle and Hewish’s 1960 invention of aperture synthesis, where the rotation of the Earth is used to convert a line of telescopes into, effectively, a single giant circular antenna, was crucial to the development of radio astronomy. The Very Large Array in New Mexico, the Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimetre Array (Alma), the European Low-Frequency Array (Loray), and the Event Horizon Telescope used to map black holes are modern examples of their innovation.

Hewish’s first research was on propagation of radio waves through lumpy transparent media, and he realised in 1952 that the scintillation or twinkling of the recently discovered radio ‘stars’ (actually radio galaxies or quasars) could be used to probe conditions in the ionosphere and the interplanetary medium. Today these techniques are used to map large-scale structure in the solar wind. Hewish showed that interplanetary scintillations could be used to make very high-resolution observations of distant objects, equivalent to a telescope with a baseline of 1,000km.

He conceived the idea of a huge phased-array antenna with which a major survey of radio galaxies and quasars could be carried out, and secured funds to build one in 1965. Bell joined his team at this time and was given the task of analysing the paper strip-chart records from the array. It took all of them to build the 1.8 hectare (4.5 acre) array with its 1,024-dipole antennae. Once it was commissioned, Hewish asked Bell to

create sky charts of each day’s observations. Real astronomical sources would recur at the same position on the sky each day, whereas human-made interference would occur at random.

On 6 August 1967 Bell noticed an unusual patch of ‘scruff’ on the charts, which reoccurred from time to time at the same position on the sky. Hewish decided to improve the time resolution on the recording equipment, and this showed that the source was pulsing every 1.33 seconds. Careful work by the team showed that the source was not an instrumental effect, or due to ‘little green men’, but was from a source located at 200 light years away. Bell also discovered three other pulsars. Hewish wrote the results up for publication in Nature, with Bell and the three other authors.

His interpretation was that the source had to be either a rotating white dwarf star or a neutron star. The neutron star interpretation was soon confirmed by the discovery of a pulsar with a much shorter period in the Crab Nebula. In an interview, Hewish said that when Stephen Hawking heard the news he rang up to say that if neutron stars existed then black holes were almost certain to occur too.

Born on 11 May 1924 in Fowey, Cornwall, the youngest of three sons of Frances (née Pinch) and Ernest Hewish, a bank manager, Antony grew up in Newquay, where he developed a lifelong love of swimming and boating. The family lived above the bank where his father was manager, and Antony was allowed to set up a laboratory there.

One of his early electricity experiments blew the fuse of the entire building. At boarding school – King’s College, Taunton – he built a crystal set radio because ordinary radio was not allowed in the dormitory.

In 1942, Antony went to Gonville & Caius, Cambridge to study natural sciences.

His studies were interrupted from 1943 to 1946 by war work on airborne radar countermeasure devices, at the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough and the Telecommunications Research Establishment at Malvern, which is where he met Ryle.

Returning to Cambridge in 1946, he graduated two years later and immediately joined Ryle’s research group at the Cavendish laboratory as a research student. After obtaining his PhD in 1952 on the fluctuations of galactic radio waves, Hewish became a Research Fellow at Caius, and then, in 1961, transferred to Churchill College as director of studies in physics.

He became a university lecturer in 1961, reader in 1969, and professor of radio astronomy in 1971, until his retirement in 1989, when he was made emeritus professor at Cambridge. When Ryle became ill in 1977, Hewish took on the leadership of the Cambridge radio astronomy group and was head of the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory from 1982 to 1988.

The award of the Nobel prize to Hewish and Ryle was immediately controversial, criticised by, among others, Fred Hoyle and Thomas Gold, for the exclusion of Bell, later

Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell. Hewish was undoubtedly the major player in the work that led to the discovery, inventing the scintillation technique in 1952, leading the team that built the array and made the discovery, and providing the interpretation as due to a white dwarf or neutron star. Bell herself was gracious about the matter, saying: ‘I believe it would demean Nobel prizes if they were awarded to research students, except in very exceptional cases, and I do not believe this is one of them.’

After the discovery of pulsars, Hewish continued his work on interplanetary scintillations, and the mapping of the solar wind and the ‘interplanetary weather’, which can have a dramatic effect on terrestrial communications. As well as being an honorary member of numerous foreign academies, he was made a fellow of the Royal Society in 1968 and received the Eddington medal of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1969 and the Hughes medal of the Royal Society in 1977. A shy, modest man, Hewish declined offers to become master of a Cambridge college.

He believed that science and religion were complementary, and that: ‘We should be prepared to accept that the deepest aspects of our existence go beyond our commonsense understanding.’

Antony married Marjorie Richards in 1950 and they had a son, Nicholas, and a daughter, Jennifer, who died in 2004. Marjorie and Nicholas survive him, as do five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

SACKS, JONATHAN (1966), 7 November 2020 Honorary Fellow 1993-2020 From The Guardian 8 November 2020, Jenni Frazer writes: The former chief rabbi, Jonathan Sacks, Lord Sacks, who has died of cancer aged 72, was a much admired figure in both the Jewish and non-Jewish world.

Even though his writ did not run across all of the Orthodox community – and not at all in Progressive Judaism – Sacks won high praise and was generally acknowledged as one of the most brilliant intellects of his generation. He was particularly lauded for his ability to explain Jewish philosophy to the wider community, which he did with great frequency on BBC Radio 4’s Thought for the Day. But at the same time, Sacks’ tenure as chief rabbi, between 1991 and 2013, was controversial, both internally and outside Anglo-Jewry. Some of the furores regarding

74

OBITUARIES

his decisions left a bitter taste at the time, but have receded into the background, as he embraced a hard-working retirement and a deliberate distancing so as not to overshadow his successor, Ephraim Mirvis.

Sacks came from an entirely different background from Mirvis and from his own predecessor, Lord (Immanuel) Jakobovits: his family, though observant, was not from a long line of rabbis and he had an utterly non-traditional path to the rabbinate, attending the local grammar school, Christ’s College, Finchley, in north London, before graduating from Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge, with a first-class degree in philosophy.

His rabbinical contemporaries would have received a very different, and much more insular, kind of education. But throughout his career – particularly when he became chief rabbi at the relatively young age of 42 – there was a feeling that Sacks was in thrall to the strictly Orthodox sages on the right of the religious spectrum. They were the sons and grandsons of rabbis; he was the son of Louis Sacks, a market trader who had come to Britain from Poland, and his wife, Louisa (née Frumkin), who had driven ambulances in London during the blitz. A Greyhound bus tour of the US in the summer of 1967, when he was just 19, enabled him to meet many leading religious figures, including Menachem Mendel Schneerson. Sacks ditched his plans to become an accountant and decided to become a rabbi instead.

At Cambridge, he met his wife-to-be, Elaine Taylor, who was training to be a hospital radiographer. The couple, who went on to have three children, married when he was 22 and she 21, in 1970, enabling them to mark their golden wedding this year. He decided three weeks after meeting her that she was the one: he told the Sunday Times that he had bought a ring from Woolworth’s and proposed to Elaine, on one knee, in Oxford Circus, determined to seal the deal.

Sacks’ rise was rapid. He received his rabbinical ordination in 1976 at Jews’ College (now the London School of Jewish Studies), where he later taught and served as principal (1984-90) and spent a short time heading religious teaching to children in Luton before becoming rabbi of Golders Green synagogue in 1978. A move to Marble Arch synagogue in central London – where he was rabbi from 1983 to 1990 – brought him into contact with many of the leading philanthropists of Anglo-Jewry, cementing lifelong friendships. Throughout this time, Sacks, who wrote more than 20 books on Judaism, kept up his academic life, lecturing in moral philosophy at Middlesex Polytechnic, or as a visiting professor at Essex University.

By 1990 it seemed clear that there was no better candidate to succeed Jakobovits as chief rabbi than Sacks. He was a compelling orator who spoke beautiful, declarative English, and he had – as well as a classical British education – a warm and lively approach to the complexity of being a diaspora Jew.

He and the newly-designated archbishop of Canterbury, George Carey, became good friends at the same time through a mutual passion for Arsenal football club. Both were invited to Highbury stadium to watch a midweek match, an invitation accepted with alacrity. But, as he recalled, the presence of two men with an assumed hotline to heaven did nothing for Arsenal’s chances that night. He remembered: ‘That night Arsenal went down to their worst home defeat in 63 years, losing 6-2 to Manchester United. The next day a national paper carried the story in its diary column, and concluded: “If the archbishop of Canterbury and the chief rabbi between them cannot bring about a win for Arsenal, does this not finally prove that God does not exist!” The day after, I sent them the following reply: “To the contrary, what it proves is that God exists. It’s just that He supports Manchester United.’”

His assumption of the role of chief rabbi was greeted with something like rockstar rapture. But it was not long before he ran into controversy: having proposed a communal charity walkabout, open to all, he then refused to allow people from the Jewish Gay and Lesbian Helpline to take part. It was, perhaps, a calculation designed to mollify the strictly Orthodox – and, sadly, it was only the first example of Sacks’ problem with the religious right wing of the community. For every kind and inclusive thing he did – and there were many, such as private, encouraging phone calls to those who needed metaphorical hand-holding – there were other occasions in which his decisions seemed inexplicable to centrist Jews. Why, they wondered, was it fine to be friends with an archbishop but not to sit with a Progressive Jew? The problem, in hindsight, was Sacks’ inability to stamp his religious authority on the rebellious right. Whereas Jakobovits and, today, Mirvis, were able to say ‘I am chief rabbi, and this or that will happen because I say so’, Sacks appeared to concede on too many occasions. The two most controversial clashes were what have been termed the Hugo Gryn affair and the Dignity of Difference row.

When Rabbi Hugo Gryn, then both Britain’s best-known Holocaust survivor and the leading figure in Reform Judaism, died in 1996, Sacks did not attend his funeral lest that be seen as countenancing non-Orthodoxy. A massive row erupted, not least after the Jewish Chronicle published a leaked letter which Sacks had written, in Hebrew, which described Gryn as ‘among those who destroy the faith’. Both the newspaper and Sacks were attacked; and Sacks’ subsequent decision to attend a memorial service for Gryn did not appease communal anger.

In 2002 another row erupted, seemingly arcane on the surface but pointing to deep divisions in the community. Sacks published a new book, The Dignity of Difference, whose central message was that each religious community had parity in its attempt to find God. He had written: ‘God has spoken to mankind in many languages: through Judaism to Jews, Christianity to Christians, Islam to Muslims … No one creed has a monopoly on spiritual truth; no one civilisation encompasses all the spiritual, ethical

OBITUARIES

and artistic expressions of mankind ... In heaven there is truth; on earth there are truths ... God is greater than religion. He is only partially comprehended by any faith.’ But despite his initial protestations that the book was intended for a wider, non-Jewish audience, Sacks was forced into an embarrassing climbdown. He was summoned to explain himself before a group of rabbis, one of whom accused him of ‘heresy’; and in the second edition of the book, he rewrote several passages, acknowledging that ‘one or two sentences might be misunderstood’.

If his relations with the religious right wing were difficult and complicated, those with the Progressive side of Judaism were scarcely less so. Ironically, one of his relations by marriage was the leading Liberal Judaism rabbi, David Goldberg, who took a mischievous delight in reminding people of the link. The Reform rabbi Jonathan Romain, meanwhile, while admiring Sacks’ intellectual brilliance, called for him to be the last such holder of the post. Britain did not need a chief rabbi, he argued, not least because ‘although Sacks entered office in 1991 with great hopes for his ability to unify the Jewish community, he has proved unable to do so, and many would say that he has become a highly divisive figure’.

Knighted in 2005 and made a life peer in 2009, Sacks became a ‘must-hear’ guest around the world as he spoke to many communities, as often in Hebrew as in English.

He won many awards and distinctions, including the interfaith Templeton prize in 2016; and his translations of religious books to accompany services in the Jewish calendar became standard works in many homes. As a world-renowned scholar, he became professor of Jewish thought at Yeshiva University, New York, in 2013.

For much of his life – starting in 1967 with the outbreak of the six-day war – Sacks was both an outspoken and trenchant defender of Israel, and a fierce opponent of antisemitism. He made frequent radio and TV appearances, and in the last few years he used his place in the House of Lords to denounce the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

He described Corbyn’s reported comments that Zionists had no sense of ‘English irony’ as among ‘the most offensive comments since Enoch Powell’s rivers of blood speech’.

He is survived by Elaine, their children, Joshua, Dina and Gila, and three brothers.

ALDERSON, JEFFREY (1957), 27 June 2021 His wife Barbara writes: Jeffrey ‘Jeff’ Alderson was born on the 7 June 1934 and attended Rugby School 1947-52 followed by military service in the 11th Hussars PAO in Malaya escorting food to the villages.

He became a student at Caius where his father and brother had attended achieving a BA in 1957 and then MA. He was a land agent for Lord Rotherwick in Oxfordshire until 1965.

Jeff had a deep calling to serve the poor overseas and he worked with Voluntary Service Overseas between 1966-74. Following this he completed a Master’s degree in social planning for developing countries at the London School of Economics in 1977. He was then hired by Oxfam to edit their field director’s handbook for offices abroad in the evaluation department. This led to being field director of the office in South India based in Bangalore for six years covering the four southern states and Sri Lanka finishing in 1986. International Red Cross then sent him to Sri Lanka and he was able to visit the Tamils in the north during the unrest. In 1990-95 with Feed the Children Jeff led the team in desperate work to bring food and medical goods to Romania, Bulgaria, and Albania. This aid expanded to the Caucasus, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia and finally to Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan in Central Asia at the EC’s instigation. His deep interest of service to the poor and desperate continued with association with many groups and trusts when he retired. He was an active volunteer at Asylum Welcome in Oxford and member of his local church, St Mary’s, Iffley in Oxford.

Jeff was a loving husband to Barbara whom he married in 1977 and he is sadly missed by his daughter Georgia Prahacs, her husband Chris and grandson David, his stepchildren Burton, Anne and Jeanne Nicodemus. He is warmly remembered by his gentle but firm leadership, great care and friendliness.

ANDERSON, PATRICK (1948), 12 December 2020 His wife Ruth writes: Patrick was born on 27 January 1930 in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, the eldest of four children. His father was an ophthalmic surgeon at the Eye Hospital and had a private practice and home in a large 18th Century house in St John’s Hill. After a succession of unsympathetic nannies Patrick, aged 8, was sent to Elstree School in London, which then evacuated to a large stately home in Berkshire. Patrick attended Marlborough College where he enjoyed singing in the Chapel Choir, hockey and having the freedom to cycle round the Wiltshire countryside.

As an aspiring medical student, Patrick did not have to do National Service until he had qualified so he went straight on to study natural sciences at Caius.

Patrick wrote about his experiences in studying anatomy: My first tentative foray to the Dissecting Room in the Anatomy School was a real shock. It was a very large unheated basement area in which there were row upon row of metal tables, each supporting a naked embalmed male corpse. The smell of formaldehyde was very pervasive. There must have been at least thirty bodies.

I found the body that had been allocated to me and probably about 34 additional other students to dissect. His neck bore the imprint of a rope: he had been hanged. I confess that it took me a full week to recover from this awful experience and return to start dissecting the man’s right arm – with four other students who had also been allocated to share the dissection of this limb with me. The manual was essential, but we also could ask for help and guidance from a small team of supervisors – men who were now studying for their surgeons’ fellowship. It took us a whole term to study just this single limb. The complexity of the human body was very impressive. I had never tried to visualise in three dimensions before. Of course, there were never 35 students crowded around each body at the same time.

It was not long before the corpse was a skinned and dismembered head and torso, and no longer recognisable as a human being. The arm I was dissecting with about four others had been labelled, and when not being used for further dissection it was kept in a large chest.

Dissecting the left arm was Richard Moore, who also became a Shrewsbury GP. Patrick and his parents became good friends with the Dean of Caius, Eric Heaton who taught him: The importance of using one’s critical faculties in religion, and of being unafraid to question one’s beliefs and in particular the words of the Bible.

He remained a committed Christian all his life and served on the Fabric and Pastoral Committees and as a Server at St Chad’s Church Shrewsbury where he worshipped for sixty years.

Patrick’s other lifelong love was music and at Caius he joined the College Choir under Professor ‘Paddy’ Hadley, the Caius Gilbert and Sullivan Society and the Cambridge Musical Society. He sang the St Matthew Passion with soloists Kathleen Ferrier and Peter Pears, conductor Boris Ord. He also played hockey and taught rugby in a boys’ Christian Mission.

In autumn 1951 Patrick went on to study medicine at St Thomas’s Hospital where he sang in the choir with Dame Cecily Saunders. After qualifying, he took specialisations in obstetrics and a junior house officer post in ophthalmology, where he met Harold Ridley who had developed the first cataract operation. During further junior doctor posts in Exeter he developed his climbing skills on the Cornish cliffs and in Snowdonia.

In 1956 he was called up to do National Service and he told the board that he had a strong interest in rock climbing. It seemed that due to a terrible accident in a Naval diving tank, several medical candidates had died and the Navy was short of doctors.

Patrick was sent off to be a junior medical officer in the Royal Marine Commandos based at Bickleigh. They were trained by abseiling down Cornish cliffs above a churning sea at night, and gruelling route marches in awful weather on Dartmoor. Patrick loved every minute of it. He maintained a love of climbing and having adventures, with a predilection for ladders right into his 91st year. In 1956, 42 Commando were sent, ostensibly, on exercise to Malta, and became involved in the Suez Crisis They were deployed to defend Port Said. Patrick had no training in gunshot wounds and was given WW2 equipment including a large bottle marked ‘amphetamines’, some ageing bandages and perished blood pressure gauges, and a Browning pistol to defend himself with.

After National Service, Patrick moved to Portsmouth as a GP trainee with Dr Frank Langmaid and in 1959 married Frank’s daughter Dinah, with whom he had four children.

He put up his GP’s plate in his home in Shrewsbury where he practiced until 1995. He was a very well loved and devoted family doctor, delivering babies and attending patients at home and in his surgery. He took his family on many adventurous camping holidays in Wales and France, involving rock climbing, boats and a VW camper van.

Patrick loved serving his community and he and his father served for over a hundred years in the Salopian Masonic Lodge. He was Master of the Drapers’ Company, which has been providing alms houses for five hundred years, and helped to revive its fortunes. He was very involved with the Town Centre Residents, producing a magazine, doing events and fighting for better licensing, traffic calming and other local issues.

His keen sense of humour, forthrightness tempered with gentleness and attention to detail made him a good committee member. He sang with the Phoenix Singers for 55 years, visiting many countries to sing with other choirs. He was respected and loved by all who knew him.

His wife, Dinah, died in 2000 and in 2003 he married, Ruth. Together they walked in Europe, sang, made a beautiful garden and supported the Shrewsbury community. In February 2020 Patrick had a wonderful 90th birthday party with guests from every part of his life. After his death several condolence cards read: He was lovely man and one of the few who has left the world a better place.

CECIL-WILLIAMS, JOHN (1956), 4 November 2020 John Cecil-Williams was bom in 1936 in London, the son of Sir John and Lady Olive Cecil-Williams. Originally living in Paddington, the family moved to Hampstead, which remained the family home until the death of John’s father in 1961. John and his mother moved to Golders Green.

During the war years, John and his mother spent the major part of the conflict in America, having won a place in a ballot to relocate there for the duration of the war.

They made many lifelong friends during their stay. They returned in 1944 to live in rural North Wales. John was educated at Mostyn House Preparatory School on the Wirral, and then Harrow.

He was called up for National Service and served in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers, attaining the rank of captain. Initially based in the regimental barracks in Wrexham, he subsequently saw action in Malaya, during the emergency. He then went up to Gonville & Caius to read history.

After graduation John took up employment with Guinness and was based for a time in their Manchester office, playing rugby at the local club. Later, he moved to the London office, where he was employed as transport director. He took early retirement, working as a financial consultant for a short time, before fully retiring.

He married Chloe Hilary-Gere and moved back to Hampstead. Sadly, Hilary predeceased him in 2007. They were both avid travellers, spending much time exploring Great Britain, the Americas and Europe. They did not have children. Following Hilary’s death, John moved back to Golders Green.

CLAYE, MICHAEL (1939), 30 July 2021 His daughter Mrs Holly Hogan writes: Michael Havelock Claye died on 30 July 2021 at his daughter’s home in Johannesburg, South Africa, at the age of 100 years. He was born on 11 September 1920 in Derby and lived with his family in Cambridge.

From the age of 11 years, he boarded at Gadebridge Park School in Hemel Hampstead and then attended the Imperial Service College in Windsor. From there he went to Caius College, Cambridge to read history in 1939. Following the outbreak of war, he joined the 13th Battalion Sherwood Foresters Officers’ Training Unit on the Isle of Man. He was sent to India and joined the 7th Battalion Leicestershire Regiment and took part in the second Chindit invasion of Burma. He returned to England in 1945 where he ran a POW camp in Swindon.

Michael had a successful 20-year career with Raleigh Bicycles running new branches as the managing director in Montreal – Canada, Vereeniging – South Africa, Mexico City, Nottingham, Dublin and Epsom. In 1970, he joined Triang Pedigree, a toy/bicycle/ pram company in Durban, South Africa where he was the managing director. In the late 1970’s he ran the Association For The Aged for Natal, SA and then from the age of 76 to 88 years he managed the accounts for a charity.

He married Patricia Moon in 1953 and had four daughters, Caroline, Annabel, Penny and Holly. They were married for 65 years up to Patricia’s death in 2018. He lived with his youngest daughter, Holly, during the last two years of his life where he was independent, active and still driving. Despite the restrictions of Covid, his 100th birthday was celebrated in style with all the family (UK, Australia, Zimbabwe) on Zoom.

When asked about what attributed to his longevity he said, ‘routine, keeping active (a Mr Fix-It deluxe), avoiding all formal exercise, eating Kellogg’s Cornflakes followed by marmalade on toast every morning for breakfast, eating cake with afternoon tea, enjoying whipped cream with pudding after every dinner and last but not least, waking up every day with a positive attitude and thankful to be alive.

Michael was a very accomplished but modest man, a gentleman in manner and dress, always wearing his tie and navy blazer and an inspiration to all who knew him. He is sorely missed by his family and friends.

DUTTON, JOHN (1969), 29 March 2021 His friend David Heathcote (1969) writes: John Dutton died on 29 March 2021 in the USA, after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease. Known to his fellow Caians as ‘JD’, John grew up in Ilkeston and attended Nottingham High School before coming up to Caius in 1969 to read engineering. He rowed for the 2nd Caius Boat.

John graduated in 1972 and then joined the NatWest Bank in the City of London working on internal audit. He became head of operational risk for corporate banking.

He had two tours working for NatWest USA in New York City; on one such secondment in 1992, he met and married Mary Beth. His sister, Jane, recalls that John became a keen skier, enjoying the wintery slopes in Vermont and Pennsylvania.

After a brief stay in Harpenden in the UK, John and Mary Beth moved to Long Island NY, and John worked for the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation as a senior manager for internal audit. Upon retirement, he and Mary Beth bought land in Southport NC, on which they designed their own house. In his early retirement, John had a great interest in gardening (though he admitted he was never successful in growing tomatoes!). He also enjoyed watching the birds in the garden and loved trying to identify them all.

EDGAR, WILLIAM (BILL) (1941), 10 May 2020 His son George writes: My father, Dr William Macreadie Edgar, known as Bill, died on 10 May 2020, aged 97. He read natural sciences at Caius and in 1946 qualified as a doctor at Westminster Medical School where he was subsequently senior lecturer in microbiology, in parallel to his duties at Westminster Hospital. He did his National Service in the RAMC in East Africa. Bill was a keen and expert climber, in Wales, Scotland and the Alps, and was the expedition doctor on a 1956 expedition to the Himalayas, sponsored by the Daily Mail to look for evidence of the existence of the Yeti (of which he was always sceptical). He was awarded his MD in 1961.

Bill married Freda, a fellow doctor, in 1958. They moved in 1962 to West Yorkshire, where he spent the rest of his professional life as a consultant pathologist and microbiologist, based at Bradford Royal Infirmary but also working and teaching at other hospitals in Bradford and Leeds. A former colleague said of him that ‘he was an inspirational teacher and a pillar of moral rectitude, setting an example we tried hard to follow’. He retired in 1987.

His last expedition was up Snowdon’s Crib Goch ridge in 2008, at the age of 85.

He is greatly missed by Freda, their children, Sarah, George and John, and their grandchildren Anna, Iain, Katerina and Alexander.

ELLACOTT, BARRIE (1953), 10 March 2021 His son John (1981) writes: Barrie Ellacott died on 10 March 2021, aged 86. He was born in January 1935, in Lymington, Hampshire and was educated at Brockenhurst Grammar School, from where he was one of the first pupils to gain a place at Cambridge, going up to Caius in 1953. He studied maths and enjoyed a number of sports, in particular representing the College at football and cricket.

After university he went straight into National Service, where he was recruited to join the British team developing its first hydrogen bomb at Aldermaston. This service involved working with some of the most advanced computing technology available in the UK at the time and led to an expertise in technology which he was to use for the rest of his career.

After Aldermaston he had a computing job with ICI in the north of England, and subsequently spent many years working in the oil industry in the Middle East and USA. He returned to the UK in the late 1980’s and continued to work in computer consultancy until his retirement.

He retired in 2000 to the Isle of Wight, where he spent 21 happy years before his death.

He was married twice – to Valerie, in 1961, and Nancy in 1981. He had a son by his first marriage, John, who was at Caius 1981-84.

his age group, when only 16. As he was considered too young to go to university, and since the concept of a gap year had not then been invented, he remained at school, taking the exams twice more, unsurprisingly getting slightly worse results each time. Eventually he was admitted to Liverpool University, where he achieved a First in biochemistry, followed by a PhD. He then moved to Gonville & Caius College as a research student in January 1955, completing a second PhD in 1959. While in Cambridge he also worked at the Low Temperature Research Station, a research establishment funded by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, which studied the effects of low temperatures on foodstuffs while in storage or transit. As this work, which concerned world food supplies, was deemed to be of national importance, it gained him an exemption from National Service.

He married my mother, Carol, in 1956 and they moved to Hull in 1960 when my father was appointed to a lectureship in the botany department at Hull University.

Subsequently he became senior lecturer and then professor of botany (later plant biology) and head of department in 1969, when still in his late thirties, an unusually young age to become a professor in those days, reflecting the high regard in which he was held as a talented young scientist. He eventually retired as emeritus professor of plant biology at Hull University some three decades later. However, he always retained an affection for his time in Cambridge, and for Caius in particular, and I know he was pleased that both I and my son Anthony chose to come up to Caius as undergraduates in 1976 and 2010 respectively.

My father had always been acutely aware of his Jewish origins, and Israel was a cause that remained close to his heart throughout his adult life. However, he was not particularly religious (perhaps because of his scientific background) and was certainly not an uncritical observer of Israeli politics. Fundamentally, he was a liberal-minded intellectual who believed in tolerance and the need to foster greater understanding between different cultures through collaboration. He espoused these values by becoming the first chair of the Academic Study Group on Israel and the Middle East at Hull University, organising visits of British academics to Israel and inviting Israeli academics to lecture in the UK. Following his retirement, he also played an active role in several local and regional interfaith groups, welcoming adult students to the Hull Reform Synagogue (of which he served a period as chair) and thereby greatly enlarging their understanding of Jewish scriptures and traditions. Similarly, he spent many hours accompanying parties of schoolchildren round the synagogue, answering their questions with his characteristic patience, quiet enthusiasm and sense of humour. He also represented the Jewish community on, and served as chair of, the local Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education (SACRE), reviewing the religious education syllabus for maintained schools in the area.

Although defined by his Jewish identity and passionately interested in Judaism in later life, he had many other interests besides. He was cultured, well read and interested in classical music and jazz. Indeed, my father introduced me to the legendary clarinettists of the Swing era, and it is thanks to him that I eventually came to realise that probably the greatest of them all was not Benny Goodman, but rather Artie Shaw.

A kind and compassionate human being, my father bore his final years of gradually declining health with courage, fortitude and remarkable good humour. He is survived by his wife Carol of 64 years, three children and eight grandchildren, and will be greatly missed.

Professor David Ingram, former Master of St Catharine’s College, writes: I first met John Friend in the botany department of Hull University in 1960. It was his first lecture as a newly appointed, rather shy but fiercely intelligent plant biochemist and my second as a new undergraduate. The lecture, which I still remember clearly, compared static biochemistry – the structure of the molecules of living things – with dynamic biochemistry – the transformation of such molecules during life processes: an apt metaphor for John’s own rich life.

As Mark Friend has pointed out, John very soon became professor of botany at Hull, and the final sentence of his inaugural lecture as professor, entitled Botany or Molecular Phytobiology? proved to be prophetic: ‘it is only by integrating [plant biochemistry into studies] of the whole plant that we will be able to understand the complex phenomena associated with plant growth and disease resistance and so make a strong contribution … to the problem of world food supplies … ’ In Hull John continued work that he had begun in Cambridge at the Low Temperature Research Station, studying carotenoids, the important bright red, yellow and orange pigments that absorb the energy of sunlight for use in photosynthesis, while also providing significant photoprotection. In addition, they give many root vegetables and fruits their distinctive colours. But he also expanded his research horizons. First, he studied the sterols that trigger Phytophthora species, a major group of organisms that cause plant disease in crops worldwide, to reproduce sexually, thus enabling genetic studies to be carried out under defined culture conditions for the first time. Later he worked extensively on plant phenolic substances, the complex aromatic compounds many of which ultimately lead to the deposition in plant cell walls of the wood molecule lignin. The intermediate compounds in the long chain of biochemical events in this process are highly toxic to micro-organisms, and John showed that together with lignin itself as a physical barrier, they play a significant role in slowing the growth in crop plants of many devastating diseases. Perhaps most significantly, however, John thereby brought rigorous biochemical methodology to the study of plants, a route that would lead others, many years later as his inaugural lecture had predicted, to the molecular biological approaches that are revolutionising food production today.

OBITUARIES

Beyond his biochemical studies John had wider concerns. In 1972, for example, he was one of a group of about thirty leading scientists invited to become co-signatories to the Blueprint for survival, an early radical and forward-thinking manifesto for the cause of environmentalism published as a standalone issue by The Ecologist. He was also a gifted university manager, a quality that eventually would lead him away from teaching and research. First, he became dean of science at Hull, and later pro-vice-chancellor for science, both posts enabling him to play an active role in consolidating Hull’s position as a research university. As respite from such duties, John spent a period of sabbatical leave in 1988 at Wolfson College, also spending much enjoyable time for both of us as well as for my graduate students, in my laboratory in what was then known as the ‘Botany School’, now Plant Sciences.

Among John’s many travels as a scientist and university manager, one in the 1970’s to the botany department of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem to extend his work on plant diseases, seems to have coincided with an enhanced consciousness of his own Jewish origins, as Mark has already highlighted.

Beyond his many scientific and public achievements, John was in my experience a gentle, cultured compassionate man with an infectious sense of humour fuelled by an acute sense of the absurd in life. He was also a loyal and generous friend and collaborator, but most important of all, a very happy family man. To end, an anecdote that brings together John’s love of both his family and classical music seems especially appropriate. One evening in the 1990’s John rang me excitedly, as he often did, on this occasion to tell me that his son Mark had just recommended a recording of Handel and Scarlatti music by that doyen of pianists, Murray Perahia, significantly a man born into a Jewish family like John himself. The very next morning I rushed out and purchased my own copy, which I still possess and listen to frequently, and it never fails to bring back happy thoughts of John and of his relationship with his eldest son, which invariably make me smile.

GANT, PETER (1960), 5 November 2020 His daughter Rachel Charman writes: Peter was born on 7 July 1938 and grew up as the eldest of three children, first in wartime London and then in the Cheshire suburbs of Manchester. He passed the 11plus examination and attended Moseley Hall Grammar School, progressing to Brasenose College Oxford where he studied physics. After graduation in 1960, Peter moved to Gonville & Caius College Cambridge where he studied divinity, graduating in 1962. He then moved to Ridley Hall to study for the ordained ministry of the Church of England.

During this time he studied under and (like many others) was greatly influenced by the theology and character of the Revd Professor Charlie Moule.

OBITUARIES

87

Once he had finished his theological studies, Peter undertook voluntary and community work for some months, to gain practical experience before taking up his curacy. He was sent to work for one ‘Miss Elizabeth Gooch’ in the probation office at Deptford, East London, with the instruction to ‘make himself useful to her’. This he did: much to her surprise, Miss Gooch became ‘Mrs Gant’ in fairly short order, with the couple’s marriage in 1965. Two daughters followed shortly thereafter.

Peter served his curacy in a large, docklands parish in Portsmouth. Then in 1967 he was appointed vicar of St Paul’s Church Blackheath, a large inner-city parish in the industrial West Midlands. For six years, he and his team of curates led a thriving and successful church, at the very centre of the community and dedicated to serving its needs.

Peter was energetic and innovative. He set up a daily morning prayer group for the local clergy of all the denominations (at a time when this was still most unusual). He successfully lobbied the bishop for a curate from an Asian background, to enable outreach and conversation with the large local Asian community. Most importantly, no one in need was ever turned away from the vicarage, a large gothic Victorian ruin; much of the time rough sleepers ate meals with the family, and hippies with nowhere to go would often be found sleeping in the attic. Not all the locals approved.

In 1973 Peter decided to leave full-time paid ministry. For two years he taught physics at a Solihull comprehensive school, and then he sat the examination for ‘late’ Civil Service entry. He passed, and life changed dramatically, with the family moving from the West Midlands to Surrey. Peter worked for 17 years as a senior civil servant in the Department of Health and Social Security, as it then was. He loved being at the centre of things, working with ministers and helping to shape and implement policy. However, his health declined, and he took early retirement in the early nineties.

Once his health improved again, he threw himself into one of the great passions of his life: sailing. He studied for various nautical exams, and ultimately bought himself a small yacht. An intensely happy period of his life ensued, sailing out from Southampton, up and down the coast, to the Isle of Wight, and to the French coast. He spent ten years in this way, making many friends and having many adventures.

Around the year 2000, Peter became interested again in the academic study of theology, and over a period of years worked towards an Oxford research degree, the Bachelor of Divinity. Sadly, Elizabeth died from kidney cancer in 2006, but he pressed on with his studies, finding some solace in the work. He gained his degree in 2011, and it then formed the basis of his book on resurrection appearances, Seeing Light, which was finally published in 2019.

After three or four years of widowerhood, Peter had resigned himself to life alone. Then he met Judith Fox, herself also widowed. Both were then living in the South East, and

88

OBITUARIES

they had not knowingly met before, so they were astonished to find that they had both attended Moseley Hall Grammar School in Cheshire, at the same time, over 50 years previously. They quickly formed a strong and loving partnership which endured until Peter’s death; Judith cared for him with great tenderness during his last illness.

Peter’s greatest ethic was always service to others. Although he left the full-time paid ministry in 1973, for the rest of his life he remained a non-stipendiary priest, helping in every parish he lived in. At times when his local parish was ‘between vicars’, he would take over and run things, even while still working as a full-time civil servant.

He counselled hundreds of people throughout his life; since his death, many people have spoken of how he helped them. During his last 10 years, Peter and Judith also ran and took part in many interfaith services and events; Judith is chair of West Central Synagogue, and Peter made many friends there. He became perhaps the first Anglican priest to have both a Christian and a Jewish funeral; at the latter, the Rabbi remarked ‘We consider ourselves a privileged synagogue, to have had our own vicar.’

Peter will be greatly missed by all his many friends and family.

HILL, OSCAR (1950), 29 March 2021 His daughter Sarah Williams (1989) writes: Oscar grew up in London’s Jewish East End in the 1930’s. He was evacuated with his school during the war and applied to Caius following his military service to study medicine. Admission’s procedures were rather different then and he recalls writing to the Senior Tutor to say he would be in Cambridge for another interview that day and wondered if it would be possible to also be seen at Caius. The interview took the form of a fireside chat and he was given an offer of a place on the condition that he went away and learned Latin. He had made unsuccessful applications to many other medical schools and always wondered what the Caius Senior Tutor had seen in him.

He was the first person in his family to go to university and felt as if a magical, sometimes confusing, new world had opened up for him. He became president of the Cambridge Jewish Society and, while a member of the music society sang in the chorus of Don Giovanni conducted by Sir Colin Davis – a highlight he never forgot.

He regularly attended lectures on philosophy and literary criticism in addition to his medical lectures. He repaid the faith that the Senior Tutor had shown in admitting him by obtaining Firsts in both years of his Medical Tripos and becoming a scholar of the College.

OBITUARIES

89

Oscar went to the Middlesex Hospital for his clinical studies and later became a consultant psychiatrist at the Middlesex where he worked until retirement at the age of 70. He was much loved and respected, and his name lives on in the Oscar Hill Service, named in his memory at retirement.

He always had fond memories of Caius and was a regular attender at the Caius Medical Association’s annual gathering as well as a donor to the College.

Oscar died aged 92 from complications of mitral valve disease but remained well and active until just a week or two before his death. He was fortunate to die at home surrounded by his loving family. He will be much missed by his wife Jennifer, three children and four grandchildren.

From the website of the Royal College of Psychiatrists Brian O’Neill writes: Oscar was born 2 January 1929 in the East End of London to Jewish immigrant parents from Russia. He was evacuated during the war, and after National Service was accepted

by Caius College, Cambridge to study medicine. He remained devoted to Caius all his life.

He moved to the Middlesex Hospital for his clinical training and worked there and at St Luke’s Woodside for most of his career. I worked with Oscar as his senior registrar at the department of psychological medicine and at St Luke’s Woodside Hospital for eighteen months. It is a tribute to him as a teacher and clinician that this short period made a permanent and deep impression on me through my subsequent career at some distance from general psychiatry.

Oscar was a deeply loyal senior colleague who remained in touch with me for the remainder of his long life. During my time working with him I was immensely struck and influenced by his sober devotion to his clinical work, and specifically to his commitment to his service, his patients and to his colleagues. He ran an exemplary unit and combined a humane kindliness with firm containment in his leadership of his team where personal or group difficulties arose. The therapeutic atmosphere and setting he was responsible for brought together a community of patients from backgrounds ranging from the very privileged to the very deprived and homeless, and I thought everybody benefitted.

Oscar had a particular interest in the interface between psychic and somatic disturbance and adopted a collaborative and eclectic approach to treatment with an ability to combine psychotherapeutic, social and medication-based interventions. I remember how on one occasion he arranged for the continuation in hospital of the analysis of a severely disturbed patient requiring urgent compulsory admission, and how he organised with generosity but with firm clarity the boundaries of responsibility between him as the responsible consultant psychiatrist and the visiting analyst.

OBITUARIES

He had a warm collaborative relationship with his psychoanalytic and Jungian analytic staff colleagues at the Middlesex and St Luke’s and was generous in supporting me in my chosen career pathway towards psychoanalysis. Oscar had a deep and ethical commitment to his work. After obligatory retirement at 65 he continued as his own locum until he reached a final mandatory limit at 70 when he retired, I think with some regret.

I remember being struck that at a time of considerable tension in the NHS between managers and clinicians, he was clearly held in esteem and respect by his administrative colleagues. Oscar was a deeply ethical man, capable of considerable patience but open to strong indignation where it was called for.

He had a deep and obvious devotion to his wife Jennifer and to his family. After his retirement, he remained active and faced eventual cardiac problems with a realistic acceptance and an exemplary rather stoical determination to remain fit and to enjoy his life. He had a most peaceful death at home surrounded by his family.

HIRST, JAMES (1935), 6 August 2021 Jim (James) Hirst died on 6 August 2021 aged 86 years. He was born in Ilford before the war and spent much of his early childhood in Port Isaac Cornwall with his mother and three brothers escaping the worst of London during the war.

He was educated at Ilford County High School for boys and studied economics at A-level. After doing his National Service in the RAF he gained a place at Gonville & Caius College to study the Economics Tripos. He made many lifelong friends during his time at the College including and especially John (Dudley) Taylor who gave a wonderful eulogy at his funeral. After having moved to lodgings in his second year Jim would often climb the stairs to Dudley’s room at St Michael’s Court before dinner and sit beside the gas fire reading a chapter of Lucky Jim and nibbling Dudley’s bourbon biscuits until it was time to don gowns and walk to the hall for dinner.

He achieved a double First in 1958 and went on to work at Esso Petroleum where he became their chief economist before retiring in 1995.

He was a loving husband to Carole whom he married in 1967 and they enjoyed 54 years of marriage. He was also a wonderful father to his daughter Susannah. After his retirement he took his daughter to Cambridge to revisit the sites of his time there including his rooms, the Heffers bookshop remembered for studies and much pleasurable browsing and also his favourite room – the dining room!

Throughout his life he was known as a true gentleman, kind with quiet good humour and an interesting and easy conversationalist. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.

HORNER, JONATHAN (1951), 4 June 2021 Jonathan Horner passed away peacefully at home on 4 June 2021. He won an exhibition to Caius in 1951 and was following in his elder brother, David’s footsteps. David had distinguished himself at Caius but was tragically killed in WW2. Jonathan initially studied natural sciences before switching to law. He was one of the first pupils of Michael Prichard who wrote on learning of Jonathan’s death: ‘I remember Jonathan well. He was one of my very early pupils.

Jonathan sticks in my mind as a cheerfully energetic, lively and purposeful young man whom it was a pleasure to teach’.

After Caius, Jonathan won a Fulbright scholarship to Kansas university which gave him his first taste of and fondness for the USA. Jonathan met his wife Jennifer in Eastbourne and they enjoyed and had considerable success sailing together at the Pevensey Bay Sailing club. They were married in 1960 and started their married life in the USA before returning to the UK in 1964 to live in Sevenoaks. They moved to Underriver in Kent in 1971 where they continued to live until Jonathan’s death. Jennifer still lives there and is in good health.

Jonathan was a successful businessman, with an entrepreneurial spirit. He had a thriving Lloyds underwriting business which he continued to run until his death. Whilst in the USA, he was responsible for promoting the hovercraft which was a recent British invention. In the 1970’s he established a company that exported air conditioning units to Iran and the Middle East which enjoyed considerable success. He was very proud to have been awarded the Queens Award for export when he was managing director of a company called Simplon that specialised in selling mobile floodlighting equipment.

Away from work, Jonathan enjoyed his skiing, sailing and scuba diving. He first went to the Alps in the 1940’s and did not put his skis away until 2013, and his scuba diving continued for a year or two after that!

When Caius built the Stephen Hawking Building several years ago, Jonathan made a donation so that one of the rooms could be named after his brother, David. The College have kindly agreed that they would be delighted for the room to now be known as the David and Jonathan Horner room.

HOUSE, ALAN (1943), 3 February 2021 Alan was born in Cambridge on the 26 August 1925 and was educated at Pinewood, Farnborough and St Edwards, Oxford. He joined Caius for one term in 1943 before being called up to join the navy when he was 18. He served in a cruiser in the North Sea before being sent for officer training after which he sailed to join the Pacific Fleet as a 2nd lieutenant based in Sydney. When the Japanese were defeated, he was sent to Hong Kong where he was in charge of an HDML until his demob in 1946.

He returned to Caius to resume his history studies. Whilst there he sang in the choir and played a lot of cricket and hockey. In 1949, after receiving his MA, he attended London University’s Institute of Education and SOAS prior to joining the Colonial Service as an education officer.

In 1950 he went to Kenya to train teachers in the Western Provinces. Whilst running the Teacher Training College in Tambach he met and married Barbara who was teaching in Eldoret. In 1959, he returned to Caius for a sabbatical year. On returning to Western Kenya in 1960, he was appointed as district education officer. In 1961 their daughter was born.

In 1963 Alan was offered-a-transfer to the Western Pacific and worked in the Solomon Islands. On arrival he was their first district education officer visiting the many islands by canoe, motor launch and small planes. He soon became deputy and later director of education, and minister when the Ledgco was sitting. He worked with the other island groups in the Western Pacific to set up the University of the South Pacific in Fiji. As the Solomons approached independence he trained senior teachers in the administration of the department and, when a Solomon Islander became director, he gave guiding assistance as permanent secretary until retiring from the Colonial Service in 1975.

Later that year he was appointed as senior lecturer by Cardiff University. Initially he was sent out to Northern Nigeria to run upgrading courses for older teachers at Ahmadu Bello University. He did this for four years and then was recalled to Cardiff to do similar work with overseas students from several different countries. He took early retirement in 1986.

Alan was a good and keen cricketer at school, at Caius and when overseas. In retirement in Somerset he grew vegetables and managed the cider orchard attached to the farmhouse in which he lived and was churchwarden for some time. Finally the skin cancer from which he had suffered for many years became inoperable and he died at home aged 95.

MOOR, ROBERT (1961), 10 March 2021 His daughter Catherine Pathak writes: Robert (Bob) was the middle child of Donald and Gwendolen née Whitby and brought up at Avalon, a South African dairy and arable farm. He was educated in Estcourt, South Africa where he boarded from the age of 5 to 18, his final year spent as head boy. At the senior school the academic standards were high due to an exceptional headmaster, discipline was strictly enforced with the cane and rugby and cricket given high priority. After the completion of his schooling Bob underwent officer training in the Artillery and was awarded the sword of honour. With a ten percent accidental death rate during the training, they learnt to fire heavy artillery with accuracy over 6 miles.

He went to Pietermartizburg University and studied animal science for 4 years. He enjoyed the challenges of climbing in the Drakensberg Mountains and tested himself and others with rock and rope. George Hunter, a lecturer fresh from Cambridge involved him in experiments to transport sheep eggs trans continentally and this fanned the flames of his scientific curiosity. After university Bob embarked on a northern hemisphere grand tour before marrying his fiancé Felicia Stephens who was his wife for 60 years.

The plan to settle back farming went awry when he attended a meeting in Cambridge and presented the work on the transcontinental embryo transfer experiments. Over a cup of tea he was offered a PhD position at the Animal Research Station, ARS, in Cambridge and thus his future changed. He spent happy and productive years at Gonville & Caius College, where he was married, christened his eldest daughter and celebrated his golden wedding anniversary. He made lifelong friends with other postgraduate contemporaries.

His understanding parents gave their blessing and so instead of farming Bob developed a fascination for how the early foetus signals its presence to the mother and how a new ovulation is initiated if conception fails. Answers to these questions provided Bob with a doctorate, a tenured position at the ARS and entry into the scientific community which in the 1960’s was beyond compare. For a young biologist there can never have been a better time or place to start a scientific career!

Bob spent the 1960s investigating how the ovary, embryo and uterus interact with each other. Focussing on follicular biology offered possibility of uncovering a new route to obtain large supply of eggs for transfer. Follicles are the precursors of the corpus luteum and thereby provide a direct link to the ongoing work of the embryo-

OBITUARIES

uterus-ovarian axis. Most follicles undergo degeneration and this provided an ideal model to study the then newly recognised phenomenon of programmed cell death.

By the end of the decade the group had unravelled some of the ways in which follicles function and had shown how large numbers of eggs can be produced and fertilised in vitro.

These advances, in turn, provided the foundation for studies that were to occupy Bob for the remainder of his scientific career. The studies included work in the molecules that enable chromosomes to separate at meiosis, understanding the means by which oocytes carry out internal audits for chromosomal errors during division, investigating how follicle cells signal between themselves and with the oocyte, and working on the translational mechanisms that control protein synthesis in the oocyte and embryo.

Being in a vibrant scientific community enabled him to collaborate on diverse work from freezing embryos, the immunological peculiarities of chimeric sheep to stem cell behaviour in the gut.

The liberal leadership at the ARS during that time encouraged staff to work in laboratories abroad, enabling Bob to work in the USA and Australia, where he was able to work on human tissue. Sadly the ARS closed in 1986 and he transferred to the Babraham Institute where he worked until retirement in 1999. The reputation of the ARS was such that it benefitted from a constant stream of visitors and post-doctoral students from all around the world. These scientists brought enthusiasm and added to the intellectual curiosity and vibrancy of the ARS. Bob chose to focus on his science and his family, nurturing, challenging and encouraging them to aim high. He encouraged rigorous thinking and argument, selfdeprecating humour and always supported the underdog. He knew that life was hard and the importance of celebrating the good times, he championed good education and encouraged his girls to explore and spread their wings. Bob introduced them to the mountains driving his Morris Minor on annual camping holidays and fostering a love and respect of the great outdoors.

Once his four girls were independent, he felt justified in taking risks and had spectacular adventures wild camping in American national parks, canoeing in the Arctic circle in Canada and accepting lecturing opportunities that would enable him to explore the globe.

He was honoured to be elected a fellow of the Royal Society. He invested his time and talent in the Royal Society, becoming the ambassador to NATO, which took him throughout Europe and beyond to places as exotic as Kyrgyzstan to nurture local scientific talent and explore the mountains.

In his later years he researched and wrote a book, Journey to Avalon, chronicling the shadowy figures of his family over generations. This beautifully written and researched

OBITUARIES

95

tome is a beacon for present and future family members as well as a great read as it crosses continents, chronicles adventures and charts how actions ripple and reverberate down the generations.

He continued to cycle into town from his home in Girton, participating in Cambridge University life and latterly developed an interest in geopolitics and geology. Bob was a frequent visitor to the University library for his research and the pure joy of being there.

He died peacefully at home surrounded by his family. He is survived by his beloved wife Felicia, his daughters, (sons-in-law and grandchildren): Catherine (Gora, Anna and Ben), Jennifer (Emmanuel, Sam, Charlotte, Max) , Elizabeth (James, Emily, Sophie) and Diana (Richard, Megan, Matthew, Ffion) and a tortoise.

MORGAN, RICHARD (1958), 26 May 2021 His brother Philip (1956) writes: Richard came up to Caius from Sherborne in 1958. He said later he was too young to make the most of it. That was because many of the previous years’ intakes had done National Service, so the average age of the men at matriculation was a couple of years older than those coming up in 1958 and after. By then, the Suez debacle had produced the Sandys report, and National Service was on the way out. Gap years had not yet come in.

Neither Part 1 economics nor Part 2 law caught Richard’s attention. What made the Caius years stand out were friendships made, and success in court games. He had many friends in College, but crucially important was meeting the founder of The Jesters, Jock Burnet, bursar of Magdalene; their friendship lasted till Jock died, and issued in Richard editing an encomium to Jock published in the 2000’s. He was given his Blue for rugby fives in his first year, ending up as captain, and also very much enjoyed his cricket as wicket keeper/batsman in the College first XI. The challenge on graduation was to find a niche; nothing was obvious. A firm of industrial printers in the City quickly became a dead end. Within a few months, Richard was at Kelly College in Tavistock, where his Sherborne housemaster was now head.

This cleared his mind. He was to become, without further delay, a teacher. Back at Cambridge for his DipEd, as it then was, he lodged with the Burnets in Selwyn Gardens and continued to meet many men and women who were to become lifetime friends.

Gaining his diploma, Richard went to teach history and English at Radley. In 1968, he met Margaret Agutter at the Burnets, and very shortly after that, they were married and began the lifelong partnership that meant so much to them, our family, and to the many boys who passed through their care. Dennis Silk’s arrival as warden (headmaster)

96

OBITUARIES

soon brought about Richard’s appointment as a housemaster and the care of these teenagers became from then on his main priority. It was here that Margaret and Richard had their three daughters.

Running a house enabled Richard to focus on the qualities and characters of a reasonable number of boys at a time. His mantra became, ‘These boys have only one chance; it is our responsibility to see they take it.’ Many letters since his death in May 2021 have paid tribute to the way he encouraged boys to take that chance, and how, in reaching adulthood, they realised how he had helped them set off in the right direction. The number of former pupils who kept in touch throughout his life is a tribute to his convictions.

In 1978, Richard was appointed headmaster of Cheltenham College. He was 38. He felt his predecessor had been in post too long and said he would not stay longer than twelve years. He gave greater priority to the role of the chaplain and the chapel; choral music and music in general, together with drama, played a greater part in the curriculum, and girls joined the school in the sixth form. Academic standards rose considerably, and his concern for the welfare of former pupils later in life was much appreciated.

Moving back to Radley as warden in 1991 had the same impact. The average age of staff went down, and the standards of education in its widest sense went up. New buildings were commissioned to the benefit of the students; games were played to a high level. The first cricket XI was very rarely beaten, and the Radley eight won the Princess Elizabeth Cup at Henley. But he and Margaret found the usual challenges of being at the top with major responsibilities meant a measure of isolation; it was not wholly an easy time.

Retiring to a village near Salisbury in 2000, he and Margaret tended their sizable garden with enthusiasm; house and garden provided an excellent base for much enjoyable hospitality. Richard gave the local community a lot of his energy: the Prince’s Trust, the British Heart Foundation, the local Mencap branch and Alabare, a local organisation providing accommodation and day centres for unemployed people all benefited from his energy. He chaired the exhibition committee of Salisbury Museum for exhibitions of work by John Constable, Rex Whistler, Cecil Beaton and J M W Turner. A less pleasant task was agreeing to take on temporarily the chairmanship of Clifton College Council, only to find the council embroiled in the case of a retired teacher found guilty of abuse.

The storm was weathered, and Richard had the satisfaction of a standing ovation from the staff when he announced the name of the new headmaster. It was a very testing but successful climax to 40 years in the teaching profession. We were lucky to have him as husband, father and grandfather, brother and son, and staunch friend to many. May he rest in peace and rise in glory.

PHILLIPS, JOHN (1947), 28 November 2020 John David Phillips died on 28 November 2020 aged 91 years. He was born in Stroud, Gloucestershire, in 1929 and educated there at Rodborough Primary and the local grammar school, Marling. He won a scholarship to Gonville & Caius College in 1947 to read modern and medieval languages, focusing on French and German, and took his BA in 1950.

After National Service, he became a schoolmaster in 1952 at Cheltenham College, where he was housemaster at Boyne House from 1962–71. In 1971 he returned to Marling School, Stroud, as headmaster and served with great distinction in that role until 1985.

In Stroud he was a lay reader in the Church of England and studied for the priesthood.

Following his retirement to Cornwall he was ordained in 1987 in Truro Cathedral and served as priest-in-charge at St Merryn near Padstow from 1988 until 1994, when he retired for a second time to Looe. There he continued to work in local churches, supporting the rector.

John was a loving husband to Rosalind Grace (‘Gay’), whom he married in 1952 and who died in 2014. He was a gifted linguist and into his last years he maintained his interest in languages, teaching himself Ancient Greek and reading widely in French, German and Spanish. He is much missed by his four children, eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

SHARP, IAN (1953), 16 July 2021 His wife Audrey writes: Ian Patrick Sharp was born in Dublin, of an Irish mother and Scottish father. He was raised in London and Leeds, with a wartime evacuation to an aunt in Dublin. Ian trained as a fighter pilot during his National Service, then entered Gonville & Caius College in 1953. He was cox of the first boat in 1954 to 1956. Graduating in engineering, he was a management trainee in the steel industry, where he encountered the Ferranti Pegasus computer.

Ian emigrated to Canada in 1960, and found a job as chief programmer at Ferranti’s Toronto branch, Ferranti-Packard. There he headed a small team who wrote the operating system and compilers for an early multi-programming computer, the FP6000, which became the model for the ICL 1900 series.

When that computer division folded in 1964, Ian and six colleagues formed I P Sharp Associates, a computer software consultancy. Over the next 23 years the company grew into a multi-national enterprise, with about 600 employees in 60 branches in Australasia, Europe and North America. A version of e-mail was available in-house and

to customers from 1969. The company specialised in the creation of software to handle very large data bases, and software for process control systems in industrial reactors, air traffic control and military applications. Network applications, before the advent of the World Wide Web, were customised to large multinational banking and industrial companies. In the 1980’s Ian served on Canada’s Free Trade negotiating team for IT and in 1990 he was inducted into the Canadian Information Processing Society’s Hall of Fame.

I P Sharp Associates was bought by Reuters in 1987, and Ian retired in 1989. He and his wife began spending winters in Florida and became residents and eventually US citizens. In retirement, Ian became an avid tennis player, and a volunteer for Meals on Wheels and the Guardian ad Litem programme. He maintained a great fondness for Cambridge and Caius and enjoyed reunions and alumni weekends there.

Ian is survived by his wife of 57 years, Audrey, daughter Helen, son Matthew, and three grandchildren.

SLEIGHT, PETER (1947), 7 October 2020 His friend David Lethem (1947) writes: Peter and I first met in the 6th form of Leeds Grammar School and then shared a room in Tree Court in our first year at Caius. From school we had both done an entrance exam at Caius which involved the dissection of a crustacean to show its central nervous system.

This was not my strong point but gained Peter a scholarship and thus a splendid room in College in our second year (when most were dispersed to Caius approved lodgings in town) which was a focus point for a close-knit group of friends, mostly medical students.

This was the foundation of a lifelong friendship that involved a student hitch-hiking tour of Spain in 1949 and later on, many joint family holidays and reciprocal godparenting.

Both of us did our National Service in the RAF and then as a GP in York I watched his steady progress to his eventual position as a cardiologist of international renown.

From Caius, Peter had gone to Barts where he met his wife Gillian, a fellow medical student who went on to work in public health. She survives him together with their two sons, Christopher, an electronics engineer and James, a barrister.

After work at the Brompton hospital and St George’s, Peter moved to the San Francisco’s Cardiovascular Research Institute and then returned to a consultant post at the Radcliffe

in Oxford where in 1973 he became the British Heart Foundation Field Marshal Earl Alexander Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine and a fellow of Exeter College.

He set up the International Study of Infarct Survival (ISIS), a trailblazing series of largescale trials, the findings of which have become the basis of our treatment of heart attacks today and have also provided the framework for numerous new studies such as the recent ones on the treatment of Covid-19. We are now all in debt to the work of Peter and his colleagues. Peter’s pioneering work also included the development of internal heart pacemakers and the treatment and prevention of cardiac blood clots.

Peter was hardworking and gregarious, and aided by Gillian, a superb cook and party organiser, their house at Wheatley near Oxford was the base for student gatherings, visiting academics, friends and family. He did not suffer fools gladly but was good at persuading others and making friends both at home and abroad. The Times obituary reports that when an American doctor criticised his methods as low-tech during a conference in Atlanta in 1991, Peter took to the lectern without his shoes and socks and proclaimed himself a simple ‘barefoot doctor.’

Peter was a generous teacher and made his students and colleagues his friends. When he retired in 1994, he had a network of contacts around the world, many now heads of departments, always ready to welcome him as he travelled to chair foreign conferences.

Peter was a man of many parts. From his brother-in-law, John Arlott, he learnt to appreciate fine wine and he both enjoyed golf and used it as a tool for fostering international cooperation in the William Harvey trophy, a biennial tournament for cardiologists from the USA, UK and Europe. He and Gillian loved opera and delighted their friends with frequent invitations to nearby Garsington. Perhaps because of this, one of his later projects was a study of the effect of classical music on blood pressure.

After his official retirement, his life was if anything more hectic than before. An indefatigable traveller to academic meetings and new research projects, he delighted in finding new obscure routes around the world. To his students he had been professor ‘BA Flight’ – and so he continued until 2015 when a sudden onset of ill health clipped his wings. His last few years were spent together with his wife Gillian, in a care home at Shipton-under-Wychwood, where he died peacefully in October 2020.

STENT, ROBERT (1964), 18 September 2021 His daughter Denise Dowdell-Stent writes: Robert Frank Stent was born in Edgware on the 15 December 1945, to two very loving, warm parents: Gladys and George. Robert had a happy childhood in Golders Green, exploring museums, art galleries, marvelling at scientific wonders – all the time,

OBITUARIES

surrounded by a wonderful set of friends. Robert was very gifted, taking A-levels in chemistry, physics, zoology and botany. Showing a prodigious talent in the natural sciences, it was no surprise when he graduated from Gonville & Caius in 1967 with a BA in natural sciences and receiving his MA in 1971, before heading to Chelsea College, London, to complete his Masters in applied hydrobiology, achieving a Mark of Distinction, which was awarded in 1973.

It was a little while after this that Robert met Marie.

They were married on the 15 September 1973 at St Andrew’s Church in Thornton Heath, before moving to Godmanchester, where Robert had a long and illustrious career as a hydrobiologist and in water quality; his final post as a senior environment officer, advising on a number of highly significant EU Directives.

In 1976, they had a daughter: Denise – highly sensitive with a creative spirit akin to her father’s. Robert inspired his daughter and was a great teacher: not only in academia and the arts – even her love of reading, but more importantly, he provided his daughter with the ideal model to emulate. In 2003, Denise bore him a grandson: Andrew.

Andrew brought Robert immense joy with his intelligent, lively conversation and fervent curiosity. Always eager to expand his knowledge of all things, Andrew showed a special interest in maths and science, engaging his grandfather with his unique perspectives and canny observations – not to mention his sharp wit and irreverent sense of humour. Andrew’s many talents are matched only by his kind, gentle and loving nature. By the time Andrew received the exciting news that he had been offered a place reading natural sciences at Robinson College, Robert had reached the final few weeks of his long battle with pulmonary fibrosis. Tragically, Robert passed away on the 18 September 2021 and is sorely missed. However, he leaves behind a lasting legacy in all the lives he touched, the knowledge that he imparted, his stunning works of art – but most of all, the immense love and joy he brought to the lives of his family and friends.

SURTEES, TIMOTHY (1951), 21 July 2021 Revd Timothy Surtees died on 21 July aged 90 years. He was born in Northamptonshire in 1931 and grew up in Lincolnshire apart from three years spent in the USA as an evacuee during WW2. Returning to England from the States aged 12 he went to Louth Grammar school and went up to Caius to read history in 1951. Tim was active in the Gonville Hall Society and rowed in the College eight which went Head of the River in 1954; he relished his time at Cambridge and making friends that he remained close to throughout his life.

OBITUARIES

101

Tim went on to theological college at Wescott House and was ordained in 1956.

Following curacies in Guisborough and Grantham he was vicar of Cayton with Eastfield 1961-72 and rector of Cheam 1972-96. In addition to his parish ministry, he had a series of articles published in the Church Times, was a member of the General Synod and worked on the creation of the Alternative Service Book. He had an active retirement in the Herefordshire, including supporting numerous village churches to maintain services when there might not be a priest available.

Tim is remembered by his family and friends for his energy and enthusiasm always taking a keen interest in the people he met and his community. He was devoted to his family and is sadly missed by his wife Lynne, four children and four grandchildren.

TARN, JOHN (1957), 8 November 2020 Professor John Tarn passed away aged 85 on 8 November 2020 following a short illness. He was born on 23 November 1934 in Newcastle-UponTyne. As a boy growing up in the North of England, Professor Tarn was interested in churches and historic buildings. His dream was to read history at Oxford. With the Depression still fresh in their minds, his parents demanded a profession, so he studied architecture instead at Newcastle-Upon-Tyne and the University of Durham, where he took a First. His ambition to read history at an ancient university was fulfilled when he won a state studentship that took him to Cambridge, where he did a PhD in architectural history. His thesis was on Housing in Urban Areas [of Britain] 1830 to 1914, under the supervision of Sir Leslie Martin, designer of the Royal Festival Hall London. Professor Tarn was one of the first to do architectural research on urban housing of this important period in British history, and his thesis provided the basis of two books he was to publish in the early 1970’s: Working Class Housing in Nineteenth Century Britain (1971) and Five Per Cent Philanthropy (1973). Already his interests in the social and philanthropic dimensions of working-class housing were beginning to emerge strongly.

At the end of his time at Cambridge Professor Tarn had been a student for 8 years – a long time in those days – and he was eager to enter the world of work. He went into practice in Newcastle, where he mainly designed public buildings such as hospitals and schools. Here he discovered the great satisfaction an architect has in seeing the whole creative process in the development of a building, from the earliest drawings to its final physical realization.

He was soon back in academia again, first at the University of Sheffield and then, at the ripe age of thirty-three, he was appointed professor of architecture at the University 102

OBITUARIES

of Nottingham. Three years later he accepted the Roscoe chair of architecture at Liverpool. As professor at Liverpool, he built up the School of Architecture, stabilizing it and giving it significant presence in the University and beyond. Professor Tarn encouraged the academic development of younger colleagues and showed his grasp of the bigger academic picture when he presided over an imaginative merger with building engineering. As pro-vice-chancellor, he played on the larger stage as part of a forward-looking team that brought independence and status to the associate colleges of the University and that forged vital links with the city and civic community. One of his major achievements was the incorporation into the University of the Old Infirmary, which houses new technology departments and up-to-date conference facilities.

However, it was characteristic of him that the thing that gave him most satisfaction during his long career at Liverpool was seeing his students succeed.

Outside the world of academia, Professor Tarn volunteered his expertise in art and architecture to the Archdiocese of Liverpool in the early 1970’s. He went on to produce the first set of guidelines for Church reordering in the Archdiocese in the 1970’s and helped to implement many of the liturgical reforms of the Second Vatican Council relating to church buildings, working closely with the Historic Churches Committee.

For his outstanding contribution to church architecture and Catholic heritage, Professor Tarn was honoured with a Papal Award by Pope Francis.

Professor Tarn was actively involved in the affairs of his beloved Peak District National Park, where he lived for many years and became part of the local community. He was ministerial nominee on the Peak Park Planning Board, as well as being for nearly 20 years the chairman of its Planning Control Committee. He worked in defence of the environment more generally as a member of the Council for National Parks and a member of a key Review Panel set up to examine the future of National Parks in Britain.

Somehow, in the midst of these commitments, Professor Tarn found time to play the organ in his local church and, for good measure, to be an active trustee of the National Museums Liverpool.

None of this, however, represents Professor Tarn’s major activity in his retirement. That activity was the part he played as chair of the Riverside Group, a major Merseyside housing association with an annual turnover of a hundred million pounds. The Group has responsibility for a large housing stock, which it runs for rent but not for profit. In some ways the 2 days a week he gave to this massive enterprise, purely on an honorary basis, brings together the major strands of Professor Tarn’s life: – the architect; the expert on philanthropy and density issues in working class housing; the environmentalist; and above all the man who worked so tirelessly in the service of the various communities in which he lived. In 1992, Professor Tarn received an OBE for services to architecture.

WALTON, CHRISTOPHER (1951), 29 April 2021 His brother Robin (1955) and nephew Adrian write: Christopher Walton was born 20 June 1930 in Stockport, England – in a suburb close to the border with Manchester. His father held a senior administrative position at Manchester’s university, an institution where he was to spend most of his working life.

Following his father’s footsteps, Christopher attended Stockport Grammar School: this was during the war years and beyond. He did sufficiently well in his studies (especially in history) to gain a place at Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge.

However, 2-year National Service was an unavoidable part of post-war life for young men and, aged 19, Christopher probably wisely chose to undertake this obligation, immediately, in this case in the army, before going to university. This was an important decision, since his early military experience, and outlook thereby gained, were to enrich his subsequent career. After basic training he was selected for officer training at Eaton Hall, near Chester. Now commissioned with the Lancashire Fusiliers, he opted for service in the Middle East: first in Aqaba (Jordan), then the Canal Zone in Egypt.

Then followed his 3 years at Cambridge where he read history and economics. A turning, even seminal, point for him was becoming chairman of the University’s branch of the United Nations Association. He had already taken up rowing, becoming a member of the College first eight – competing at regattas such as Henley and subsequently becoming a member of the Leander Club – of which he was very proud.

His first employment (in 1955) was with the Commonwealth (then Colonial) Development Corporation (CDC). For a first posting he was sent to the Lagos Regional Office in Nigeria where he gained his first experience in promoting commercial development in agriculture. After a year back in the CDC offices in London, he was sent back to Lagos where he met his future wife, Judith, who was working there for MI5. Thus began, with their marriage in 1959, a happy life together.

The next posting – which was to include Judith – was to Nairobi, Kenya, where, in the aftermath of the Mau Mau rebellion, he became heavily involved in the development of tea estates on a commercially viable basis. Thus, thanks to his initiative, was formed the Kenya Tea Development Authority, a move that made that country the largest tea exporting nation at the time.

Having resigned from the CDC in 1967 Christopher, with Judith, re-settled back in the UK. Now re-established in London, he was to gain some valuable experience working for a merchant bank in the City. At the same time, he had become deeply involved in the contemporary political scene. As a result of his familiarity with Commonwealth development matters, he was to play a key role in the Conservative Bow Group thinktank responsible for overseas development projects.

104

OBITUARIES

In 1968, however, came an opportunity to join the staff at the World Bank in Washington DC (the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development). High on its agenda was its increased emphasis on its agricultural development in emerging countries. In 1972 Christopher was appointed division chief of agriculture first for the East Africa Region and subsequently for the West Africa Region – all this amidst the fast-changing political scenarios in those areas of the continent.

On retirement from the Bank in 1987 he was appointed to the position of bursar (with a fellowship) of the postgraduate Wolfson College, Oxford. This period, of so-called retirement, was to be an enriching one for both him and Judith. Among his many interests and activities, apart from his college responsibilities, was his service to the Oxford Union – as financial advisor and secretary to the trustees. This was at a time when the Union buildings were in dire need of repair and refurbishment. An appeal for the necessary funding – coinciding with the Union’s 175th anniversary – was successful within a short time.

For many years Christopher was actively involved in the work of the Oxfordshire Historic Churches Trust for which he served as chairman and later as president. Under his watch over a million pounds were raised for this charity. For many years, too, he was a governor of Stowe School. Alongside all this he had remained faithful to his military connections, and more recently to his regiment’s ‘home’ in the Tower of London – while he never forgot his ‘old’ school in Stockport.

It was a source of much pleasure when, in 2011, he was appointed MBE for his services to the wider community.

Underlying his varied career, happy marriage and conscious sense of family was an unwavering belief in his Christian faith – in its practice and principles, not least within the structures of the Anglican Communion. It was therefore appropriate that his funeral and thanksgiving for his life was celebrated in the chapel of Pusey House where he had found much spiritual comfort.

May he rest in peace.

WEST, ADRIAN (1960), 11 September 2021 Adrian West was born in Ipswich in 1941 and moved to Upminster after the WW2.

He attended The Bell Primary School in Upminster and then won a scholarship to Brentwood public school. He gained a place at Gonville & Caius to study English. During his time at Cambridge he discovered the joy of folk singing and was an enthusiastic member of Cambridge CongSoc, from which he went on lay preaching visits around Cambridgeshire villages. Following the gaining of a degree he joined the Civil Service as an inspector of taxes and remained there for the rest of his working life, going on to become a legal expert in that field.

OBITUARIES

105

He married Gillian in 1971 and they went on to have two children and subsequently three grandchildren. He retired around 2001 and became lay pastor at Harecourt URC in Islington until 2012. He also used his retirement for church matters, gardening, folk dancing and different forms of singing. His energetic dancing and strong singing voice made him very popular.

He also had a lasting passion for philanthropy and Fair Trade which was reflected in the manner in which he conducted his life. Colleagues and fellow committee members greatly valued his wisdom, thoughtful responses, calm manner and perspective. He was frequently described as a ‘true gentleman’ and highly respected in all aspects of his varied life. A celebration of this life was held in a packed church where we said farewell to a remarkable man. He died on 11 September 2021 following a long illness, bravely fought.
