MASTER'S NOTES In December, 1959 the College heard with deep regret of the death of the Earl of Halifax, Chancellor of the University since 1933, and in that capacity Visitor of Pembroke College. We all join in our tribute to Lord Halifax's eminent virtues and to his long and distinguished tenure of the office of Chancellor. We remember with gratitude his personal visits to the College and the interest he always took in our affairs. The College has suffered a more intimate and wholly unexpected loss by the death of Charles Neville Ward-Perkin Ward-Perkins s at the age of forty-three. He was Vicegerent of the College, Tutor Tutor for for Admissions Admissions and and Lecturer Lecturer in in Economics. Economics. Mr. Mr. WardWardPerkins' Perkins' career career and and qualities qualities are are more more fully fully celebrated celebrated in in this this Record Record but but everyone everyone who who knew knew him him recognises recognises that that he he brought brought to to the the College College an an enthusiastic enthusiastic zeal zeal for for his his study study and and for for all all the the interests interests of of the the College.

bution which was always in favour of the more forceful and farreaching policies. The Fellows especially appreciated his brilliant work as tutor for admissions in which he showed a wide sympathy and understanding of the personalities of applicants. Never in this century has the College suffered so severe and unexpected a loss and we are all conscious of the deprivation. If he had remained at the College he would have served for another twenty-five years. Only those who knew him intimately as did his colleagues can realise what this deprivation means to us. The vacant office of Chancellor of the University has been filled after a contested election which aroused much public interest by the election of Mr. Harold Macmillan. The College welcomes this most eminent of British Statesmen to his high office and looks forward to some occasion when if his urgent public duties permit he may visit us. The election by members of Convocation brought a considerable number of M.A.'s to Oxford to exercise their constitutional right of choosing the Head of the University. The College was very glad to entertain those who troubled to come and vote and to meet them again. We must all hope that the next occasion on which a contest for the Chancellorship may take place is long ahead of us. The notion to which much publicity was given that there is something unworthy about having a contest for the office is not reasonable. At any time the number of very eminent Oxford alumni is so large that it is unreasonable to suppose that opinion in the University will be unanimous. That the Masters of Arts should be asked to decide the issues by their votes is entirely proper. fortunate in receiving During the past year the College has been fortunate several benefactions. Messrs. Albright and Wilson, the well-known chemical manufacturers, offered research fellowships to Pembroke and Worcester Colleges. The Fellow elected will research in one of the chemistry departments and will be permitted to teach for a certain number of hours. The College was very glad to accept this proposal and the Fellowship has been filled by the election of Dr. F. Wilkinson of Sheffield University who will come into residence in October 1960. With Dr. M. C. Whiting, who was elected two years ago, the College has now two Fellows in Chemistry. Mr. O'Brien is Fellow in Physiology and Biochemistry and Dr. Wilks in Physics. Science; we now have four, Ten years ago we had no Fellows in Science:

This the This legacy legacy has has now now fallen fallen to us and is of the value of about £6,500. The late Mr. T. A. Wicks, formerly a commoner of the College and for most of his life a master at Monckton Coombe School left the residue of his estate to be equally divided between his old College and the school. This brings us the sum of £4,500. Mr. John Borough, M.A., barrister-at-law, one of our more senior members who matriculated at the College in 1887, has very generously made the College a gift of £20,000, for the general purposes of the College. All Pembroke men will want to join with us in thanking Mr. Borough for this most generous and welcome gift. In his speech at the Gaudy in June the Master was able to tell the company that in the academic year 1959 there were five Pembroke men placed in the First Class in the Final Honour Schools and also five university prizes. In Hilary Term 1960 three Pembroke men were placed in the First Class in Classical Moderations. One of them, Mr. E. L. Bowie, who had previously won a Craven " Scholarship has since been elected to a de Paravicini Scholarship.
In the Final Examinations this year our distinctions were not so numerous but Mr. G. Raisman was placed in the First Class in Physiology and had earlier won the Theodore Williams Prize in Anatomy and Mr. G. A. Brooker was placed in the First Class in Physics. At the end of Trinity Term 1960 the powers which the College had obtained by means of an order promoted by the Oxford City Council to close Beef Lane were at last exercised and temporary gates have been put up.

C. N. WARD-PERKINS, 1917-1960
"The theatre of my actions is destroyed", said the old Roman on learning of the death of his friend. There were many in Oxford who could have repeated that on May the twenty-third on hearing of the death of Neville Ward-Perkins at the height of his powers. For more than a decade he had been the centre of an extraordinarily wide circle of friends within the University, who have already testified in "The Times" and elsewhere to the affection and respect in which they held him. Some dons gain fame by the influence which they obtain over their pupils, others by the learned works which they write, others again by their public activities outside the University. Neville Ward-Perkins was in another and rarer, but still important, category. He will be remembered for the influence which he had over his fellow dons. He was in many ways a remarkable mixture of the extrovert and the highly-strung. He combined in himself two qualities rarely found together — the intellectual grasp and penetration of the scholar, and the practical ability of the man of affairs. Quicker with his mind and tongue than most in a community which much admires such rapidity, he also had the rarer ability to translate ideas into action. The range of his activities was a legend. First of all came College and University affairs. I can recall endless discussions on domestic politics over the twelve years in which I knew him. The constant flow of fresh ideas, the scorn for the timid and unenterprising, were a wonderful stimulus after a day's work in contact with more mundane or pernickety minds. Fellow Wykehamists were sometimes shocked by his lack of gravitas; the slow-witted disliked being interrupted in their monologues by one who could begin half-a-dozen sentences at the same time; and the tidy were worried by having to move after him shutting doors or picking up proof-sheets, gramophone records, root vegetables, and documents marked "Confidential: For the Hebdomadal Council Only". For there were a dozen sides to his day — extra-mural studies; summer schools for business men (a very successful and characteristic venture); journalism; local politics (there was his famous attempt to solve the Road Problem: here even he had to admit defeat, after treading on more toes than he either intended or desired); and also (what no one who saw him in his own home can ever forget), the leadership of a devoted household,

Augustana College in South Dakota from which two eminent members of the College had graduated, Dr. Arthur Larson and Mr. Karl Solberg. He had during his two years of residence been an extremely popular member of the College, a keen student of his subject and one of our best oarsmen in the First Eight. He won the respect and affection of all who knew him and we looked forward to his having a distinguished career in his own country. His loss at so early an age is a sad diminution in the numbers of our American alumni who have contributed so much to the life of the College and of which Rogness was a fine example.
COLLEGE BUILDINGS After completing, in 1957, the reconstruction of the northwestern corner of its buildings, including the Weatherley Room together with the new snack-bar and Buttery offices, the College has turned its attention to the second phase of its building programme by making a start in adapting for occupation by undergraduates its premises across Beef Lane. Permission to close the Lane and include it within the College precincts having been obtained, largely through the support and good will of the City authorities, we started this part of our programme in 1958 by converting numbers 21 and 22 Pembroke The two houses are Street undergraduates.

undergraduates as well as quarters for a resident Fellow and a large seminar. Work on these properties began in March of this year and the whole should be completed and in occupation by early November. In the meantime Beef Lane has been closed by temporary (and rather unsightly) barriers, but these will eventually give place to wrought-iron gates similar to those erected at the entrance to Christ Church Memorial Gardens. Direct access between the new quadrangle and the Chapel Quadrangle is being provided by opening an arched passage through the wall at the foot of the central staircase in the building which houses the Senior Common Room. This will leave us at the beginning of 1961 with one more phase of our programme to carry out â&#x20AC;&#x201D; namely the demolition of the cycle-shed, garages and out-buildings along the north side of Beef Lane, and the paving and lay-out of the quadrangle. If all goes well this final phase will be completed by the autumn of 1961, and Michaelmas Term of that year should see Pembroke provided with a handsome new precinct designed not to increase our total numbers but to enable many more of our undergraduates to spend a second year within the walls of the College.
THE MANCIPLE On 29th July, 1960, Mr. H. J. Turner celebrated his 66th birthday and retired from his post as Manciple after completing 41 years in the service of the College. He came to Pembroke as Kitchen Clerk in April 1919 at the age of 24 and was later moved to the Buttery. On the sudden illness of the Manciple (Mr. Gribble) in January 1932, he took over his duties and was confirmed in the post in October 1933. Since that time the office of Manciple, never a light one, has grown steadily in status and importance. After the comparative tranquility of the twenties and thirties the impact of wartime conditions followed by a period of unparalleled expansion in numbers and increasing complexity of administration placed an an ever ever growing growing burden of responsibility upon his shoulders. No No task task proved proved too too formidable formidable for for him him and and no no emergency emergency found found him him unprepared, unprepared,

The unfailing loyalty and devotion to the interests of the College which Pembroke has been fortunate enough to enjoy for so long in its staff was his in full measure. Meticulous as he was in the day to day running of the College the Manciple was perhaps at his best in organising its many functions. Whether great or small they received his close and undivided attention, and their unvarying success, leading up to the climax of his last and most signally enjoyable Gaudy, was due in great measure to his unfailing care and foresight. Mr. Turner takes into his retirement the gratitude and good wishes not only of the present "Master, Fellows and Scholars" but of all those who since the end of the First World War entered the College to which he gave a lifetime of devoted service. ADDITIONAL NOTES It is a pleasure to record that the Master has accepted the office of Pro-Vice-Chancellor on his nomination by the new ViceChancellor, Mr. A. L. P. Norrington, President of Trinity College. The following books were presented to the library: "Law and Opinion in the Twentieth Century", ed. Ginsberg and "1859: Entering An Age of Crisis" ed. Appleman by the Master; "The Life and Times of Frederick Lemaitre", "La Vie de J. K. Huysmans" and "The Concourts" by the author Robert Baldick; "Wellingtonian Studies", ed. Howard by Piers Mackesy; "Hindu Art and the Art of Anna Hyatt Huntingdon", by the author Professor Emile Schaub-Koch; "The Works of Thomas Lovell Beddoes" and "The Browning Box" by the author Professor H. W. Donner; "Last Years of the Isle of France" by the author J. R. M. D'Unienville; "An Economic Geography of the Commonwealth" by C. Moppet. SPORTING ACTIVITIES BOAT CLUB The year 1958-59 was a bad one for the Boat Club. None of its crews, except the IV were successful.
