PEMBROKE RECORD SENIOR DOMESTIC AND CONFERENCE MANAGER
HOWARD CHIRGWIN. COLLEGE SECRETARY MRS. PATRICIA SCAMBLER ACCOUNTANT PETER KENNEDY DEPUTY LIBRARIAN MRS. NAOMI VAN LOO, M.A., A.L.A. MASTER'S NOTES A major preoccupation of the College in the past year has been the progress of the New Building. It is now more than a year since Senator Richard Lugar of Pembroke laid the foundation stone of the new Geoffrey Arthur Building. The New Building has come on apace since then, known, I am told, locally as Pembroke Castle, with its imposing sky-line profile. Those who have tried to place it precisely from the picture published in the copy of the last Record will have experienced a certain bewilderment as they tried to fit in the location of Tom Tower with that of the Isis. The simple explanation is that the Printers reversed the photograph. Hold it up to a mirror and all will be clear. As you know, the New Building when complete will give Pembroke the chance to house all, or virtually all, its undergraduates and Pembroke will become one of only three colleges in Oxford which have this tremendous advantage. It is the second largest undergraduate building put up since the war, and thanks to the loyal support of members, we now see the total cost of over four million pounds within our powers to achieve. I had hoped it might be possible to let you know that the building will be finished this year, but those of you wise in the ways of building construction will perhaps not be surprised that problems have delayed its progress. But we do hope to see its completion during 1989. This year there have been several changes in the Fellowship. First we have said farewell with regret to Arthur Hazlewood who retired after 27 years as a Fellow of Pembroke. He was part of the great vintage of 1961 which included Zbigniew Pelczynski, Professor Douglas Grey, Peter Cuff and Edgar Lightfoot. He became our tutor in Economics in succession to Neville Ward-Perkins. Like a number of our Fellows he was a Queen's man; before that he went through L.S.E. Professor Hazlewood is an authority on Development Economics. From his bases in Pembroke and the Institute of Economics and Statistics he has been all round the world, travelling frequently in his capacity as adviser to several Commonwealth Governments, and visiting places as far apart as Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Gambia, the Seychelles and New Guinea. From 1979 to 1986 he was Warden of Queen Elizabeth House, where he entertained in style, giving splendid dinner parties.
