THE SOCIETY We record with regret the death of Mr Sleeman, whom many ~eens' men will remember as their Tutor or Director of Studies in Natural Sciences. The College owes much to his practical approach to problems, especially where buildings and the interior comfort of rooms were concerned. His heart was not quite in the Highlands, but very much in the hills and mountains, and it was no surprise to anyone who knew him that he chose the Lake District in which (or, perhaps better, from which.) to pass his retirement. We would express our deep sympathy to Mrs Sleeman on her bereavement. Mr Sleeman has left the College £ I ,ooo for Library purposes. Professor Sir Harold Bailey is to be presented with the Triennial Gold Medal of the Royal Asiatic Society for services to Oriental Studies. Professor Beament has been elected to a Fellowship by the Royal Society of Arts, for contributions to the application of science or technology to the Arts. This is a happy moment to recall his election to the Composers' Guild of Great Britain a few years ago; audiences at recent May Concerts will know why. We have with regret, but with congratulations to them, lost Mr King to the Ford Fonndation, Dr Watson to the University of Glasgow, Dr Ginsbor¡g to York and, just as we go to press, Dr Platt to the Chair of Latin American History at Oxford. Changes ofCollege Office are recorded in the list ofFellows, and we also welcome as new Fellows Dr Van Arkadie and Mr Pountain (whose Research Fellowship will be cut short all too soon by an appointment at Nottingham). Special reference should be made to the change of Senior Tutor, to which Office we welcome Dr Machin. His predecessor, Dr Bull, held office for many yea.rs and generations of ~eens' men owe much to his ready cowisel and to the care that he was always anxious to give to individual problems. Himself a ~eens' undergraduate, like his successor, he has always put College matters to the forefront of his attention, and we are all grateful to him. The death of Bishop Chase, Honorary Fellow, has left a real 3
gap in the life not only of Q!!eens' but the University generally. Despite other claims upon him from Selwyn , where he had been Master, he regularly supported this College and was a familiar figure at many of our gatherings. Sir Leslie Rowan, Honorary Fellow, is now Chairman of the British Council.
BEQUESTS Mr Sleeman, Fellow of the College, bequeathed the sum of £1,000, to be paid on the death of his wife for library purposes. His Honour Judge Norman Carr bequeathed the sum of £1,000, Mr R. W. V. Robins left £100 for the Building Fund, Mr W. E. Blackwood bequeathed the sum of£2,oooand Mr B. S. Collins (1915) left the College the sum of £300. In memory of their late brother Sir Charles Howell Thomas, Miss E.G. Thomas left £100 and Miss C. E. Thomas ]eft £6,000. Bishop G. A. Chase, Honorary Fellow of the College, be ueathed the sum of £500 for general purposes. q
GIFTS Professor T. Bergin, a visitor from the Law School of the Uni versity of Virginia, on leaving Cambridge made a gift of £25 to be used for Combination Room purposes. Mrs Barbara Gould has given to the College two portraits of her ancestors, the Rev. William Byatt and his wife Dorothy. Mr Byatt was a Fellow of the College from 1698 to 1704.
MR AUBREY SIMMONS Mr Aubrey Simmons retired from the Buttery staff on 5 Novem ber 1971 after 47 years in the College service, having joined under Mr Chamberlain in 192-4. He and his wife have moved away to live in Bedford and we wish them a long and happy retirement.

THE FABRIC The building site for the new College development is surrounded by hoardings which, save for an observation window, conceal the scene of devastation which always marks the early stages of any new building. Hopefully, by the summer there will be signs ofthe new buildings rising from their foundations. The valuable topsoil from the Fellows' Garden has been jealously kept, piled in the Grove for use in making the new lawns and gardens which will be a prominent feature of the new building. Meanwhile, a great deal of work is being done on plans concerned with both the new buildings and the Old College; the principle is accepted that the Old College must also benefit from the new development. Thus, for example, plans are already being made for the restoration of Pump Court to its former beauty. Repairs and improvements have been made to the exterior and interior of the President's Lodge, and the Lodge has been completely re-wired; the President and his family took up residence in College during April 1971. The Old Library has also been re-wired and is now being redecorated. Excavation of the basement of Dokett has been extended, and the College Office now has a room below ground level for the storage of records. The central heating system on the east side of the Cam has been enlarged to include G and H staircases. The plaster which supports th.e Sundial in Old Court has had to be removed and replaced, and the Dial has been faithfully restored and repainted with all the errors that it has accumulated over the centuries. An additional coin-operated telephone call-box has been installed at the comer of Dokett and Friars Buildings.

THE LIBRARY The Oriental Library (the collection of Oriental books housed in the room above the Old Library) was transferred on permanent loan to the Library of the Faculty of Oriental Studies. This room has now been converted into a Reading Room and Law Library. The whole of the Law section has been placed here, and a com plete set of the All England Law Reports has been bought. The following donations were received during the year from Fellows: from Professor Sir H. W.

During 1970-71, the Council of the College Union was chiefly concerned with two matters: the question of reform of the meals system and the formulation ofa revised constitution for the Union itsel£ On the meals issue, considerable consultation took place with the Governing Body over various schemes which were suggested, and it is pleasing to note that the main recommendation, namely the institution of a meal-ticket system of payment, has since been introduced. In administration, it was quickly realised that the existing constitution was too vague on several important issues and was riddled with loopholes. The Council set up a sub-committee to consider a reformulation of the constitution and their draft docwnent was approved by the Council, then by a Special General meeting of the Union. Besides the two major issues, the Council discussed various other matters, including the new building and the situation of the squash courts. 1971-72 President: M . v.. LUNN Vice-President: DR c.

THE BOAT CLUB Captain: H. s. BRASS Secretary: D. w. KYLE
Vice-Captain: A. J. BURCH Assista11t Secretary: A. L. N. CREED
This was a year of ups and downs. The season started with the University Fours Races, in which both our Light and Clinker IV's were beaten in the first round. Thereafter four members of the club entered for the University Trials, but all dropped out before the end of tem1 except N. G. Hughes, who went on to cox the :B]ue Boat for the second year running. It is worth mentioning at this point that N. G. Hughes was elected at the end of the season to bePresidentoftheC.U.B.C. {ararehonourindeedfortheCox) to be th.e first President from Q!!eens '. The Fairbairn Cup Race forms the climax of the Michaelmas Term, in which we rose twelve places from 23rd to IIth. The programme for the Lent Term is always planned with. a view to the Lent Bumps. During the term however we had a disappointing row at London Colleges Regatta, followed by a much more commendable effort in appalling conditions at Peterborough Head of th.e River, where we came 2nd out of a large number of entries. The outcome of the Lent Bumping Races shows the variable nature of the crew's performance: on the first day we bumped L.M.B.C.;. on the second day we just failed to bump Fitzwilliam, but managed to get them on the third day. On the final day we rowed over, missing Clare by a very small margin, thus finishing m 5th position. For some years, ~eens' has not sent a crew to the Tideway Head, and we decided to do so this year. The week spent in London was generally cold and wet, but we coped with these conditions well. Our final position in the Head Race was 39th. The crew remained the same for the Easter Term. fo the Mays we were bumped on the first night by an extremely fast rst and 3rd crew; on the second night we were disappointingly bumped by Pembroke; on the third night we rowed over, and ÂŁnally on the Saturday we bumped L.M.B.C., thereby finishing in 7th position. After the end of the term, we spent a valuable and enjoyable fortnight at Henley, keying ourselves up for the Regatta. I2
In the qualifying races we beat Exeter University, but then unfortunately came up against, and fost to, London University, who went on to win the Ladies' Plate. For the lower boats in the Club, this was by and large a disappointing season. The 2nd Boat suffered from inexperience, in addition to a number of enforced changes due to illness.. The 3rd Boat on the other hand, full of enthusiasm and drive, excelled itseJf in the Mays by achieving four bumps. The remaining four ~eens' boats on the river were of course the 'Gentlemen's Eights', of which only one gained any bumps. Nevertheless, as always with these crews, there was an overriding spirit of enjoyment which offset any disappointment felt at the outcome of the races. 1971-72 Captain: D. w. KYLE Vice-Captain: N. G.

In the Michaelmas Term ~eens' had their 1st XV in the 1st division of the inter-College league, and their 2nd XV in the 3rd division. Both sides performed reasonably and finished 4th in their respective divisions. W. A. Jones, J. J. Page and P. K. Smith all represented the University against Oxford at Twickenham, while M. A. Biggar and G. P. Phillips played for the LX Club against Oxford University Greyhounds. Also, J. J. Page played for England against Wales, Ireland., Franoe and Scotland. fu the following term was the Cuppers oompetition. In the first two rounds ~eens' overcame opposition in the form of Pembroke and Caius Colleges respectively. However, in the semi-final against Fitzwilliam, Page was not playing owing to his commitment to England. Also Dennis was badly injured early in the game and had to leave the fidd. Q!!eens' eventually lost narrowly by 9 points to 5.

In the Michaelmas Term 1970 we played the league fixtures, QÂŁeens' 1st XI playing in Division 1 and Q!!eens' 2nd XI in Division 3. At the beginning of the term we always play a few friendly games (before the league games) against other Cambridge Colleges. This, as well as providing a good 'break-in', also gives the freshmen a taste of College football. In the league last year ~eens' 1st XI successfully maintained their stay, even though G. Reid (a soccer Blue) hardly played, because of a series of injuries, and D. Shaw (captain of the University team) had duties elsewhere. ~eens' 2nd XI did very well, both in the league and in the Cuppers' Plate. ~eens' 1st XI were beaten by a very good St John's team who eventually reached the final. The 1st XI play their matches on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, and the 2nd XI on Tuesday and Friday. On Saturdays ~eens' 1st XI play matches against other Universities. We usuaHy arrange three to four away matches each term, playing teams from Nottingham University, Jesus College Oxford, Christ Church Oxford, Q!!een's Oxford, U.E.A. and King's London (both our rst XI and 2nd XI teams play King's London). Three or four times each term, we also invite other clubs to come and play at Cambridge. We also play teams such as Northgate Grammar School, and the longstanding fixtures against the Old W ellingburians and the Old ~eensmen. Any other 'spare time' daring the term is taken up either 14
..
training or playing friendly matches against other Cambridge Colleges. 1971-72 Secretary: P. A. WHETTO N Captain: D. G. ALLEN

After a very poor start, drawing one game and losing the next two, Q!!eens' finally got a grip of the situation and started playing up to the expected standard. The defence became the strongest part of the team, and they conceded fewer goals than any other team in the league. Unfortunately, an unsettled team and a forward line lacking prmch meant too few goals scored and too many matches lost by the odd goal. At the end of the season we beat all four of the top teams to come 4th in the league. Unfortunately, we were knocked out in the 2nd round of Cuppers by Emmanuel. The second team were beaten by St John's in the semi-finals of Cuppers, and missed promotion from the 3rd division by one point. The team should be promoted next season. Season's record: 1st XI: played 22; won 10; drew 4; lost 8. 2nd XI: played 10; won 5; drew 2; lost 3. 1971-72 Captain: D. P. VAN BEESTEN Fixture Secretary: G. R. D. TUDHOPE Treasurer: M. P.

Q!eens' cricket team led by J. C. Phillips enjoyed a fairly successful season, winning four of their matches, drawing three and losing two. In the Coppers competition, however, fortune was not so kind and although Trinity were easily disposed of, fitzwilliam's talented side presented too many problems and Q!!eens' were well beaten by 59 nms. P. K. Smith and E. M. J. Davis had a fine season with the bat,
15
while P. K. Smith, A. C. Driver, D. Shaw, T. R. Brad.bury and C. M. Broadbent (an enterprising leg spin bowler) performed well with the ball. Newcomers to the side included D. T.

Owing to the industriousness of some of the College's best sailors in the academic field, which prevented them from appearing for the College in inter-College races as often as one would have hoped, we-unfortunately slipped into the second division of the Leagues - a situation we hope to rectify this season with a promising batch ofnew members. The team was somewhat more successful in C oppers, but we were unlucky to meet one of the eventual fmalists rather early on, which provided an exciting race, although we were the losing team. There has been a healthy interest in s:ailing throughout the year, and the Lark dinghy is now being sailed regularly in competitions, so we expect to be ab]e to report a rosier state of affairs next year.

The 1970-71 athletics season was a poor one for the college as a whoie, but as regards the achievements of individual athletes it was very satisfying. 16
.
We easily won the first round competition of Cuppers against Magdalene, Pembroke and Downing, gaining ten :first places out of a possible fifteen - this was due to a large and enthusiastic turnout by the Cross-Country runners of the College. Athletics Blue C.J. Garforth produced the best performance ofthe day by winning the 5000 metres in the excellent time of 14 min. 57·8 sec., despite a very cold strong wind. Unfortunately, our hopes of gaining promotion to Division r were dashed by the clash of a CrossCountry race with the Division 2 final, and so we were able to field only a token team against Clare and Corpus. Nevertheless our few athletes competed commendably and the final points position was as follows: Clare II5, Corpus Christi ru½, Q!!eens' 88½. Our intake of freshmen athletes was very meagre, but W. G. Fulford established himself as a competent 1500 metre runner by gaining selection in that event for the Freshers' Match against Oxford. fu the annual track and field matches against Oxford, C. J. Garforth and R. G. J. Ward, represented the University on the track, and G. R. D. Tudhope competed in the Long Jump. Athletic activity was resumed in April when D. J. Abrehart, M. J. Danielewski, W. G. Fulford and R. G. J. Ward represented the University regularly in the various first and second team matches which were used as a basis for the selection of the Blues and Alverstone teams to meet Oxford in May. Consequently R. G. J. Ward ran :first string in the :i:500 metres for the Blues team, and M. J. Danielewski and W. G. Fulford filled the Alverstone team places for the 1500 metres ..Also representing Alverstone were D. J. Abrehart in the 3000 metres Steeplechase and G. R. D. Tudhope in the Long Jump. Rees Ward completed a fine year by representing the combined Oxford and Cambridge teams against Harvard and Yale at Crystal Palace in June. The year ended with a revival of the Q!!eens' Pentathlon which had last been held in 1969. Organised by M. J. Danielewski and R K. Scholes and held in the last week of term, this event was we11 supported. P.A. Martin of Trinity collected a plaque and the Q!eens' Pentathlon Trophy as overall winner, and D. J. Abrehart won a plaque for being the highest placed ~eensman. 1971~72 Captain: M. J. DANI.ELEWSKI

This has been yet another successful season for the Club, despite the loss of Dr Mike Turner for the whole season, and injuries to several runners at inopportune moments. The success can be attributed to the fact that we possess a well-balanced team. The strength and depth of the Club was especially evident in the Cuppers and League Competitions. We completed a hat-trick of victories in Coppers and the margin (rn points) was the largest since before r955. Chris Garforth upheld the OEeens' tradition of having the first runner home by demolishing the field by 40 sec. Rees Ward was narrowly beaten into 4th place. Both Garforth and Ward were chosen to run for the Varsity team coming 2nd and 7th respectively. Dave Abrehart (r3th), Kevan Scho1es (r5th), William Fulford {26th), and Peter Radley (29th} completed the scoring six. In the league competition we won all four races. This was in part due to the aforementioned but also to our strong •tail'; it consisted of Dan Macarthur, Bruce Fitt, Steve Pearson and Jack Penfold and they formed the packing so vital to the Club's success. In the Lent Term the team completed a hat-trick in the Selwyn Road. Relay and retained both the St Edmund Hall and the Hare and Hounds Cross-Country Relay trophies. The Club remains undefeated in Oxbridge competitions. As we enter a new season we miss Kevan Scholes and Pete Radleywho have contributed a great deal to the Club's spirit over the past few years. Nevertheless the prospects for the next year look encouraging with the return of Mike Turner and some talented freshmen to maintain ~eens' as the premier CrossCountry Club in the University. 1971-72

The Club had a thoroug hly successful season, with both the 1st VI and the 2nd VI gaining promoti on from their respective divisions. The 1st VI came top in their first season :in the 2nd division with consumm ate ease, never losing a match. Indeed they did not lose a single point until half way through the season when one member of the 1st pair was iajured. In the Cuppers the team was unfortun ate to meet Downin g :in the first round, as their team included two international and four Universi ty players. Howeve r, the match was an educational experience and defeat was borne with dignity. The 2nd VI finished runners-up in the 4th division and thus were rewarde d for their season's effort by promoti on. Most players from both teams will be available next season and so the future for O!!eens' tennis continues to appear bright. Full Colours were awarded to: E. P. Russell; M. D. Krom; S. P. E.

Last year the ~eens' squash teams had a successful season in that the first and second teams, placed in high divisions, consistently won matches. The first team was stronger than the second within its division yet both teams had a good record. The third and fourth teams played extremely well, as they won by far the majority of their matches and were unlucky not to have been promoted to higher divisions. In Cuppers Q!!eens' were unfortunate in the quarter finals to meet Pembroke who had two Blues in their team, and Q!!eens' lost 3-0. 1971-72 Captain;

The society performed three major concerts during the year, in each of the Michaelmas, Lent and Easter Terms. The Michaelmas Term concert was: Beatus Vir, Monteverdi; Missa Brevis,. Kodaly (conducted by C.J. Pountain); Serenade in D minor, Dvorak; Serenade in E flat, R. Strauss {conducted by Richard Carver). The Lent Term concert was: Cantata No. 78, J. S. Bach; Pavane, Faure; Requiem Mass in D minor, Mozart (Susan Campbell,. Doreen Walker, Martin Oino, Malcolm Stork and Richard Jackson, conducted by John Clough). The Easter Term concert ( the May Week concert) was performed as usual in Hall, and included works by Arnold, Britten and Cordy, culminating in the first vocal appearance of the Classical Society, under the baton of Dr James Diggle, and a rousing performance of Bach's Peasant Cantata by the St Margaret Society May Week Chorus and Orchestra, conducted by Christopher Pountain. The Society organised many other concerts throughout the year, held largely in the Chapel by kind permission of the Dean of Chapel and the Governing Body; Martin Oinn gave three lieder recitals, including Schubert's Winterreise, and songs by Faure, Vaughan Williams and Poulenc; Charles Cordy, Richard Carver and Stanley Monkhouse organised numerous chamber recitals, and David Charlton took over the J.C.R. on Saint Valentine¡s Day (which fell conveniently on a Sunday) to organise a Smoking Concert at which not only were world premieres of musical works given, but also mulled wine was served to lend a touch of frenzy to the proceedings. The previous Organ Scholar, Richard Hickox, appeared in the CoHege during the Michaelmas Term with. his chamber choir, the Woohum Singers. and gave a concert in Chapel, including in his programme: Lord thou hast been our refuge, Vaughan Williams; Alto Rhapsody, Brahms; three motets 23
by Gibbons. Walton and Weelkes; Theresa Mass, Haydn. The present Organ Scholar, John Clough, arranged a series of Organ Recitals in the Chapel at which audiences were at first a litde tentative, but the large increase in numbers during the year showed. the growing appeal of these recitals, which were invariably of a very high standard. The Society performed concerts outside Cambridge on two occasions; once in Histon, where a charity concert was organised in the local church, and once in Richard Carver's home village, where an ambitious concert was extremely well received. In Cambridge, too, the Society was not content to remain within the confines of the College, hut following the precedent set by the previous Organ Scholar, moved into town to perform its Lent Term Main Concert, the Mozart Requiem. It is hoped to continue th.is tradition in the future, and already plans are being made to perform the Brahms Requiem in the Guildhall m. the Michaelmas Term 1971. In fact, the Society now operates on such a scale that it is second only to C. U.M.S. in size, with a chorus of about 200, of whom almost half are College members; ever-faithful Homerton continues to provide the majority of the ladies who smg with us, for which we are very grateful.

The extraordinarily successful Cambridge run of our 1970 Swedish Tour play A Midsummer Night's Dream, at th.every begin24
ning of the Michaelmas Term, set a note of optimism which persisted throughout the year. Despite a shortage of producers. there was no lack of new acting and technical talent and of helpers anxious to undertake small projects such as experimental play evenings or the establishment of an adequate basic wardrobe. An unfortunate plague of indecision led to the Freshmen's Main production being a double-bill of one-act plays, Ionesco's The Bald Primadonna and John Whiting's No Why. Although only modest successes, these were greatly enjoyed by all involved; the same can be said of the Lent Main, a modem and idiosyncratic translation of Moliere's Le Misanthrope. During this time other activities were keeping the idle occupied: one group collaborated with The Chapel Players, with the encouragement of the Dean of Chapel, to produce a version of The Woman taken in Adultery. Another close-knit band under the direction of Neil Rae spent the winter shooting a melodramatic silent film which is now almost ready for presentation. Less artistically, but very profitably, the Technical Director managed to foster a huge increase in the hiring-out of BATS equipment. The summer saw a Cloister Court production of Romeo and Juliet, which succeeded despite the perversity of the weather (the first night's show had to be transferred to a May Ball marquee in pouring rain- all credit to a very dedicated technical crew!) and the numerous other commitments ofthe producer, John Newbigin. Lest anyone was hoping for a restful summer after this, it was decided to repeat last year's success and .return to Sweden nnder the auspices of the Stockholm Skolsteater. The play chosen - The Happy Haven,. by John Arden - was received with great enthusiasm, if not total comprehension, by the Swedish schools, and managed to collect itselfa fan club, who subsequently sent photos and letters of great nostalgic value to the Tour team. In all, a year of moderate artistic success notable chiefly for the emergence of an astonishing esprit de corps, evident in every BATS activity and promising a highly successful year for 1971-72.

again saw an increase in the number of graduate students in College. This meant an increase in the number of people using the Club's facilities in the already overcrowded Angevin Room. This probably acted as a disincentive to new graduates, and the number ofpeople using the room dropped as the session progressed. We started the session with a very successful introductory sherry party for graduates new to the College and those ~eensmen retunring to do post-graduate work. During the session there were the usua1. activities for graduates and their guests. The War-onWant lunches continued despite a drop in support. The Graduate Table in Hall on Mondays continued to be popular as did the more informal Thursday meals in the Angevin Room. The Club was pleased to have Dr and Mrs Bull as guests to one of the Thursday meals. The facilities of the Angevin Room have been much improved by the purchase of some prints of the College and some additional lighting. The College has provided some long-needed extra power-points and a hotplate for use on Thursday evenings. H.>70-71

Mr Wilkinson spoke on 'Our debt to Plautus and Terence', Professor Guthrie on 'Law, morals, and the Sophists', and Miss Rawson on 'Roman antiquarian scholarship'. Other speakers were Dr V. Nutton (Selwyn) on' Medicine from Galen to Erasmus', Dr R. 0. A. M. Lyne (Churchill) on Propertius I. 8A, and Miss J. Reynolds (Newnham) on the experiences of an epigraphist, subtitled 'First catch your stone'. The guests at the annual dinner were Dr Lyne, Dr Nutton, Mr Wilkinson, Professor F. R. D. Goodyear and Dr J.B. Hall. The year's activities were concluded with a novel event: at the May Week Concert the Classical Chorus, which in previous years had been heard only after the annual dinner, gave a recital of traditional songs in Greek and Latin, conducted by the Senior Treasurer. 1971-72

At the meetings held throughout the year, talks were given on a wide variety of topics, and these combined a consistently high
27
level of subject-matter with a pleasantly .informal atmosphere. During the Michaelmas Term titles ranged. from 'The New Dark Age of Clinical Medicine' to 'Use of M.J.A. in Imprimational Synaptic Dysfunction'. The climax of the term's activities. was the Annual Dinner: there was a particularly high attendance this year and. members were well rewarded by the fine speech of the guest speaker, Professor Hamson from th.e Department of Anatomy. Momentum was carried forward into 1971 and the Lent Term, during which the Society met four times. Once again there was an open invitation for Newnham medical students to attend our meetings. The Society would. like to thank all the vice-presidents, and particularly Dr Bull, for their generous help at all times. 1971-72 President: J. A. c. K. p ANG Treasurer: w. s. MONKHOUSE Secretary: s.
