II THE MASTER AND F E L L O W S The Master, Dr Williams, was admitted to the mastership by the President at a short ceremony in the Chapel after lunch on Thursday 17 January 2013. Proceedings began with a procession of the Fellows in scarlet gowns from Hall; a fanfare including Welsh songs was played by a trumpeter and a drummer as Dr Williams entered First Court. The JCR and MCR Presidents attended the ceremony together with members of the student community selected by ballot; other members of the College and staff lined the processional route. The weather was fine and pleasant, as the Master and Fellows processed back to Hall where the Order Book was signed. The following Sunday saw the installation to the Master’s Chapel Stall at the start of Evensong. The music and hymns for this service were chosen by the Master and included Weelkes’s splendid anthem Gloria in excelsis Deo and Vaughan Williams’s ‘coronation’ setting of the hymn All people that on earth do dwell. The sermon was preached by the Chaplain. Members of the Master’s immediate family were present in Chapel and dined in hall afterwards as guests of the College.
The Fellows signed the Order Book in order of seniority.
