THE SOCIETY We record with a sense of deep loss the death, on 26 April 1952 , of Professor A. B. Cook, Litt.D., F.B.A., Emeritus Professor of Classical Archaeology, and Vice-President of the College. The obituary note which appeared in The Dial of May 1952 is reproduced below. The President has appointed Mr A. D . Browne as Vice-President. Present members of the College will have noted with considerable pride the conjunction in our days of the historian of all Cambridge alumni with the historian of our College Buildings, whose works must be the authorities for the centuries to come. The Most Reverend Thomas Hannay (1907), Bishop of Argyll and the Isles, Primus of the Episcopal Church in Scotland, and Sir Frederick William Gentle (1912), Q.C., Vice Judge AdvocateGeneral have been elected into Honorary Fellowships. Professor Bailey has been named M embre d'Honncur de l'Ecole Franc;:aise d'Extreme-Orient, Hanoi, Viet-Nam. We congratulate Mr and Mrs D. S. Jackson (Betty Ve1m) on the birth of a daughter, Jem1ifer, on II July 1952 (at P ngakawa Valley, Te Puke, New Zealand) ; Dr and Mrs Maxwell on the birth of a daughter, Jean Frances, on 3 M arch 1952; Mr and Mrs Parmee on the birth of a son, Richard, on 30 Oct her 1952; and Mr and Mrs Chadwick on the birth of a daughter, Juliet Patricia, on 23 November 1952. ¡
ARTHUR BERNARD COOK A. B. Cook was born on 22 October 1868 at Hampstead. His father was in practice there as a medical m an. His mother was of the Bickersteth family, which produced several eminent ecclesiastics and hymn writers of the Evangelical persuasion. He was the eldest son. Two of his younger brothers, John and Albert, went to Uganda as medical missionaries, and founded what became probably the best hospital in the whole of Africa. Arthur was a Scholar of St Paul's School, and in 1887 won a major scholarship at Trinity College, Cambridge, where honours 4
crowded thick upon him-the Chancellor's gold medal and the Members' Essay Prize being the most noteworthy. For he not only had the vast erudition which is characteristic of many Paulines, but a grip of his subject as a whole and a power of correlating his knowledge to a rare degree. He was Professor of Greek at Bedford <!::ollege for a time, where he developed his supreme interest in the religion and beliefs of the classical world, which led him more and more into the study of archaeology, and foreshadowed his great life work on Zeus (in five vast volumes). I am not competent to assess its merits, but I can say confidently that in it is to be found an incredibly rich mine of information on most forms of ancient religion. But this is anticipating. He became a Fellow of Trinity in 1893; and when his Fellowship ran out at the end of the century, ~eens' had the supreme good fortune to secure him as a Fellow. The University made him Reader in Classical Archaeology in 1907, and in 193 l he became the first Professor to hold the Lawrence chair. In l 894 he had married Emily Maddox of Hampstead, and they had one daughter, who survives him. Their home was open to many ~eens' men, who still remember vividly the informal and delightful way in which they were welcomed. For the Professor's learning sat lightly upon him, and no one who knew him will ever forget the sparkle and wit of his conversation, which never had a highbrow or rarefied air about it. He inspired real affection in many who knew him. I think he had a real and rare genius, though he was not a specialist in the practical business of everyday life. He was the soul of generosity and delighted to give some treasure to a friend who would value it aright. His sense of hu~our was acute, and he had the gift of being able to laugh at himself. His wit flashed out in his talk: e.g. someone turned and said to him, 'What is the masculine of prima dom1a ?' Instantly came the retort 'Oh, prim don, of course'. He was a great lover of poetry, especially of Robert Browning, whom he could quote infallibly, but, towards the end, also of Matthew Arnold. His religion was profound. It was essentially of the oldfashioned Evangelical type, though he was never a fundamentalist in his views of Scripture. If towards the close of his life he 5
modified further some of his theological views, he never changed in his simple devotion to God, which was unclouded, He died on 26 April after a year or two of physical weakness and some pain: but he kept his interest in life till the end. We in ~eens', or outside it, who knew him will not quickly forget him. C.T.W.
VISIT OF THE CHANCE LLOR The College was honoured by the visit, on Friday, 23 May 1952, of the Chancellor, the Rt Hon. the Lord Tedder, Hon. LL.D., who dined at the High Table and sat with the Fellows in the Combinatio n Room afterwards, later joining them and their wives in the Gallery of the Lodge.
THE WAR MEMORI AL The War Memorial, recording the names of all ~eens' men known to have given their lives in the War of 1939-45, was dedicated, together with the War Memorial Library, by the Bishop of Ripon in the Chapel on Saturday, 14 June 1952. A representative number of relatives were able to be present. The Library, under its new Librarian, Mr Hart, who succeeded Dr Seltman in that office, is being widely used by undergraduates.
REPORT ON THE FABRIC Arrears of repairs and decoration, which necessarily accumulated during the war and post-war years, are gradually being reduced now that licences and workers are available. The difficult and anxious work on the roof of the Essex building accomplished last year, in replacing by reinforced concrete large sections of the roof trusses withered by dry rot, made the completion of the roof this year an easier and less expensive matter. A start has been made on the replacement of crumbling brick and stonework on the Walnut Tree Court face of H staircase, and this begins again to 6
look as it must have done before the nineteenth-century attacks by ivy roots were followed by frost damage. The loose gravel paths of Friars and Walnut Tree Court have been surfaced with tarmac whilst retaining the colour of the gravel. The paths around Fisher Building have also been resurfaced. The most important work has been the repair of the exterior of the President's Lodge. Much of the surface coat of plaster was in a bad state, the oak framework had become dry with sun and weather, the roof and windows leaked and needed re-leading. A considerable sum has been spent, and the outside of the Lodge is now in as good condition as after the 1912 restoration. The Erasmus Room, for some time past in daily use as an annex to the Hall, has been redecorated, and the good pine panelling stripped of paint and wax polished. Some of the Temperley pictures have replaced the hunting trophies. The floor of the new Reading Room (the Old Chapel) has been covered with 'black marble' rubber tiles; thus the general decoration is complete. The old Lecture Room at the ~eens' Lane end of the Chapel has been redecorated and its heating modernized. It is now called the Music Room and is mainly and frequently used by the St Margaret Society for choral, orchestral or individual practice, and for small recitals. The fluorescent lighting has transformed the room. The small doors into it from the east end of the Chapel have been blocked and sound-proofed, and the floor has been polished and furnished with Persian rugs from 12 Selwyn Gardens. This large house, which was purchased as a Hostel by the College in 1946, has now been sold. New boilers have been installed in the Kitchens. In the basement of Dokett Building a new hot-water boiler has automatic stoking and can consume low-priced 'bituminous smalls' because the coal is forced upwards underneath the fire. It deals more effectively with the peak hours of bathing. The Fitzpatrick Hall, of which the main room is used each term for productions by the 'Bats', has been redecorated. The lighting • is being improved and the fine oak floor has been resurfaced and polished with a new plastic, which is proof against stains from hot coffee or cigarette burns, and very easy to keep clean. 7
Lastly, the central path in Cloister Court has been paved with York stone and a narrow edging of pebbles. A considerable planting of crocuses around the court should make it especially attractive in Spring. Rose beds have been made all along the west wall of Walnut Tree and Friars Courts, and many daffodils and tulips were planted amongst the roses.
MR CHAMBE RLAIN Mr Chamberlain retired in June from his position as Kitchen Manager, after more than fifty years in the service of the College. At the Club Dinner the President expressed to Mr and Mrs Chamberlain the thanks and appreciation of the whole College. The Governing Body has presented them, on behalf of the College, with a television set, suitably inscribed.

Vice-Captain: C . N. Hudson. Captain: J. Hope Simpson. Assistant Secretary: T. M. Attlee. Secretary: H. B. Glenny. After a bad season the Club was left with only three third-year men rowing regularly. The results, however, were quite pleasing, and culminated in the Second VIII making three bumps in the Mays, and reaching the semi-finals of the Junior VIII' s at Reading Regatta. Also the Wyfold IV from the First VIII reached the semi..:.finals at Henley Regatta. RUGBY FOOTB ALL
Secretary: E. D. Butterw orth. Captain: P. I. Reid. Committee: R. L. Hitchcock. The first team were runners-up in the Second Division last Michaelmas and gained promoti on to Division I. In the 'Cupper s' QEeens' lost to Pembrok e (the subsequent finalists) 3-8 in very difficult conditions of mud and water. M. Emerson was awarded his County Durham cap, E. D. Butterw orth played for th~ Harlequins First XV on several occasions, and was selected -with R. H. Umbers -to play for the LX Club against Cranwell. 13
This season ~eens' have won the Division I Cham.pionship for the first time (as far as can be ascertained). The play was characterized by sound team-work. M. H. Bushby, E. D. Butterworth, and M. Rowland have played for the LX Club. ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL
Secretary: L. Shires. Captain: J. E. S. Bretherton. Committee: G. W. Hall. This was rather a disappointing season. As a result of the League competition we were relegated to Division II. In the 'Cuppers' we were, perhaps rather unluckily, beaten by Selwyn in our second tie, 4-3. P. Jones was Secretary of the Falcons. Others who played for the Falcons were: J. E. S. Bretherton, S. Dryden, G. W. Hall, F. J. Woodley, and J. B. Mudd. F. J. Woodley was selected to play in the University Match, but that was cancelled. CRICKET
Secretary: J. S. Guthrie. Captain: G. W. Hall. Committee: R. G. Barker. The College side again had an enjoyable if not outstandingly successful season. There were many good batsmen in the side, notably A. E. H. Rutter, G. W. Hall, and R. G. Barker, and the two latter scored many runs and gained Crusader caps, as did R. G. Clarke, a fast bowler of some hostility. The bowling, however, lacked variety, and, unsupported by good fielding, was seldom good enough to dismiss the other sides. The Somerset tour was again thoroughly enjoyed, although we won only one match. HOCKEY
Secretary: M. J. Gleed. Captain: A. E. H. Rutter. Committee: B. Spencer Dunn. Last season in the 'Cuppers' we began well with a win over Magdalene (1-0), but in the second round we lost to Trinity Hall (0-4) after a disappointing game. 14
\ \
\ J. A.
Skues and L. R. Griffiths gained Blues, the former afterwards playing for the East and the latter for Wales. The performance of the College team has been disappointing so far this season, but it is hoped that this will be rectified in the 'C uppers ' . ATHLETICS
Secretary: D. C. Walton. President: A. C. Wood. Committee: B. L. Callaway. One point only deprived the Club of first place in the Field Events Competition, an achievement which helped to compensate for the disheartening result in the 'Cuppers' when we were relegated to the Second Division. Outstanding performances were demonstrated by three members of the Club in University athletics: in the University Sports B. L. Callaway broke the record for the Javelin, and A. C. Wood won the Long Jump; R. T. G. Day, a Freshman, won the quarter mile in the Freshmen's Sports, broke the half-mile Freshmen's record against Oxford, ran for the record-breaking Relay team against Oxford, and won his event in the University and Inter-Varsity Sports. A. C. Wood and B. L. Callaway both came second in their events against Oxford. Of the six University athletes in residence at present who were placed in the list of top British performers, the Club is proud to possess two: B. L. Callaway and R. T. G. Day. LAWN TENNIS
Secretary: C. J. L. Croft. Captain: R. T. Hazell. Committee: M. J. Gleed. The League results were below expectation, but in both Singles and Doubles 'Cuppers' OEeens' reached the semi-finals. The prospects for the coming season are good, with six men in the University Club.

Secretary: J. D. de Pury.
The Club, with only four members, continues to be characterized by a cheery optimism, despite an early defeat in the 'Cuppers '. SWIMM ING
Captain: S. Shaldon.
Secretary: K. Pring.
~eens' were unable to enter a team for the inter-college relay races, and in the water polo 'Cupper s' we lost 2-0 to Caius. Howeve r, later in the term, the College beat the Leys School in a friendly match 4- 3. S. Shaldon played in the University Water Polo team against Oxford, scoring two goals. SQUAS H RACQU ETS
Captain: C. J. L. Croft.
Secretary: R. C. Braithwaite.
All three teams have done well this season, particularly the newly founded Third V, and the First V, where, in addition to three consistent lower strings, we have been having both Peter Ball and Dick Norden playing regularly for the Ganders. Peter Ball represented the University on a number of occasions, and the Club looks forward to seeing him reach greater heights next year. RIFLE CLUB
Secretary: A. D. Black.
Captain: P. G. Watson.
College shooting has continued to hold a promine nt position in the University. This year the MacDon ald Cup for inter-college shooting was regained, for the second time in three years, by P. W. Taylor and P. G. Watson. These two also shot against Oxford, and A. D. Black went to Bisley with the University teams.

CHESS
Secretary: K. D. Smith.
President: G. Horrocks.
The Chess Club continues to flourish in ~eens'; this season it has an active membership of about thirty-five. Two teams have again been playing in the League and the 'Cuppers' Tournament. The second team are unbeaten in the League and finished as runners-up in their section of the 'Cuppers ', while the first team remain unbeaten in the 'Cuppers '. T .f._BLE TENNIS
Captain:
Secretary: J. Howgego.
J. C. Pownall.
The Club is now in a very strong position indeed, with the third and fourth teams having gained promotion and the first two teams still in the First Division. The all-round strength of the Club cannot be matched in the University, and although ~eens' possesses no one in the University first team, J. B. Hope and G. F. Modlen represented the University second team in the match against Oxford last season. LACROSSE
Secretary: D. Crane.
Captain: G. W. Wilde.
The Club was narrowly defeated in the final of the 'Cuppers' by a strong St Catharine's XII. R. B. Owen gained a half blue. G. W. Wilde captained the Eagles, and M. P. Kershaw and J. F. Epps were awarded Eagles colours. BADMINTO N
Captain: R. G. Barker.
Secretary: J. N. Atherton.
Last season was very successful, the first team being promoted to Division I and reaching the semi-final of the 'Cuppers '. This year • a second team has been entered in the League, and four Club members, including one half-blue, have played at C.U. Cockerels' practices. 17
GOLFING SOCIETY
Captain: R. Lloyd-Jones. Secretary: D. R. Parry. Committee: J. M. Waters. Last season we lost in the first round of the 'Cuppers' to a strong Jesus team. In the Easter Term the captain's prize was won by M. J. Carmichael. This season the welcome addition of two or three promising freshmen has enabled us to play several matches at the Gogs, in the last of which we managed to defeat the redoubtable Caius. Pressure of work and practicals have prevented the team taking part in the league at Mildenhall.
ST BERNARD SOCIETY
President: S. Burton. Vice-President: J. Danvers. Secretary: R. C. Braithwaite. The Society continues to assert the claims of the debate in college life, and two meetings at home and one at Jesus with the 'Orators' have given the season a good start. Union and native wit have combined to stimulate and divert us.
ST MARGARET SOCIETY
Vice-President: D. H. Rees.
Secretary: T. B. Gartside.
The Society carried out a plan of much wider scope than it has attempted.in recent years. A permanent orchestra was established which performed at two concerts and accompanied the chorus in Bach's cantata 'Sleepers Awake!' In this work women's voices were added to the chorus. The policy of the Society has been to give a live concert every week, gramophone concerts being now the exception rather than the rule. In the May week concert the main work was Schumann's piano concerto in A minor, in which the soloist was Bruce McK.illop. The Society has been provided with a Music room, and the continuous use made of it shows how great the need was.

Townsend, D. J.P. Wade. Senior Treasurer: Dr E. A. Maxwell. In the Michaelmas Term, D. Wade produced a translation of de Musset's comedy Fantasio with D. New in the leading part. A slight but charming play, it made an original and successful start to the year. In the Lent Term, following the usual tradition of the Society, an original musical production was presented. Look Before You Leap, a seasonal revue, produced by J. Townsend, was exceptionally well received. Dr Beament, who wrote the music and many of the lyrics was, as usual, largely responsible for the success of the show. The May Week production in Cloister Court was The Tempest, produced by R. Cook with music by Dr Beament. The weather took no hint from the title and four dry performances were given to large audiences. Prospero was played by C. Temblett-Wood, last seen in Cloister Court as Mercutio, and T. Stratford forsook youth and romance to play Caliban. The society was not as numerous as in other years, but was very prosperous, finances being in the hands of Dr Maxwell whom we welcomed as Senior Treasurer. 20
C. Temblett-Wood, after his production of Henry IV, was asked by the University Actors to produce Antigone, by Jean Anouilh, and also played several important parts in the Summer Festival season of the A.D.C. and Marlowe Society. Other members appeared in Twelfth Night, an independent production by Michael Hall, Some Talk of Angels, the prize-winning play of the Young Writers' Group, written by Hugh Thomas, Hey Nanny No, No War in Troy, Antigone, Julius Caesar, St Patrick's Way and Romeo and Juliet.

THE COLLEGE LIBRARY Since the last i snc of the Record the Old Chapel has been opened a War Memorial Library and Reading Room. By Assistants on the staff of the University Library the books, both on the ground floor and in the gallery of the Old Chapel and those in a reference section at the cast end of the old Library, have been carefully catalogued- a very great labour which has begun to turn the Library it1to a real College amenity. But elsewhere in the old Library the new librarian presides uneasily over unmanageable chaos. Among recent givers of books to the Library are Miss L. Gwenllian Williams, Mr Laffan, Dr Maxwell, The Reverend Prebendary Professor H. M. Sanders, Mr Chadwick, Professor Kirkaldy, Mr Wood, the Swiss Legation in London, Dr Seltman, Dr R. Latham, Dr J. Beattie, D. G. Price, Esq. Our thanks are al.so due to Alderman E. Saville Peck for the gift of two apothecaries' jars of Lambeth Delft ware.
