Senior Fellow, and fellow Fellows of this College, I present to you Ernest Ronald Oxburgh, F.R.S., Professor of Mineralogy and Petrology, so that he may be admitted President of this College.
* * * * * * The Greeks had a phrase to indicate that they had taken a vow of silence: 'An ox is standing on my tongue'. We recently had an ox on our tongues for several months; and although we have at last been freed from our vow, the ox is still on our lips, for today we are to sing its praises, or rather those of its habitat. There was a town on the Appian Way called Oxburgh (Bovillae). When Alba Longa was destroyed by the Romans, it offered a home to the Alban refugees. Today the roles are reversed, and an Oxburgher seeks a home with us, and we welcome him with our doors and hearts open. For the past four years he has held the chair of Mineralogy and Petrology and been a Fellow of Trinity Hall. Two years ago he was appointed Head of the Department of Earth Sciences. Before that he spent fourteen years in Oxford, lecturing in geology, and while a Fellow of St Edmund Hall he was also Tutor for Admissions. He is a real lover of mountains: not only does he climb them for pleasure, but he has also written a learned book about the geology of the Alps. But, most impressive of all, in agreeing to assume the office of President, he has shown that he is equal to tackling Everest. We pray that his path may not be too steep or rugged, and we promise like true sherpas to follow his lead and help shoulder his burdens as best we may.
A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT It is hard to describe the mixture of trepidation and pleasure with which my wife and I viewed the prospect of taking on the formidable task of following in the Bowetts' footsteps; pleasure at the opportunity of joining one of the most distinguished academic institutions in the country, yet trepidation at the thought of undertaking the task as total newcomers to Queens' and with no experience that seemed to be at all relevant. In the event, we have found ourselves so kindly received by the College that we have begun to feel at home more rapidly than we could have believed possible. Furthermore since October we have been so busy that there has been precious little time to think a bout anything but the next job to be done. The College has taken the opportunity of the change in Mastership to inspect thoroughly the fabric of the Lodge. The Governing Body must now be wondering whether it would not have been better to remain in ignorance. Deathwatch beetle, furniture beetle, various fungi and rots, not to mention some irregularities in the original construction, have all come to light. It is now clear that a fairly expensive job of restoration is needed and that the work on the Long Gallery wing will continue until the end of this year. However, there is a good prospect that our family will be able to move into part of the Lodge during the spring. Taking a first view of the position of Queens' in Cambridge today, one cannot but be impressed by the fact that here we have an institution that is doing its job with enviable success. Not only do its members realise their academic potential - see the Senior Tutor's report - but they do so in an environment that recognizes and fosters talents in a wide diversity of other fields. It is clear to me that the educational side of the college -and I use the word in its broadest sense - is very healthy indeed. Yet in two areas it seems to me that we are vulnerable, and in rather different ways. The college has little in the way of endowments, and depends very heavily on its earned income. Through careful management the books have just about balanced, but we are in a position that makes it more or less out of the question to contemplate new academic initiatives; and for any institution that aspires to the highest standards that is very serious. Furthermore we have no cushion against major unforeseen expense, or sudden changes in income that are beyond our control. The second area concerns our position as a college within the wider Cambridge community and the relationship of that community to the educational system of the country as a whole. The last decade has seen major changes in the pattern of secondary education in this country, and neither this University nor Oxford can take it for granted that the most able young people in the country will apply to them for admission; nor can it be taken for granted that the same selection procedures that have served well over the years will continue to serve without modification for years to come. Our task is to justify the privilege of learning, teaching and researching in Cambridge by ensuring that we attract the best, and that having attracted them, we select between them fairly and effectively, and are seen to do so. The prospects are challenging; there is plenty to be done; my wife and I look forward to playing our part. E.R.O. 3
The Society The College has suffered a major loss with the retirement of Professor John Holloway from his Professorial Fellowship. Professor Holloway had been a Fellow since 1955, having previously been a Fellow of All Souls' College, Oxford, and a Lecturer in English at Aberdeen. He was for some time a Tutor, and was Director of Studies in English until the University promoted him successively to a Readership and then to a Chair in Modem English. 'Modern English' scarcely indicates the scope of his writings, which include important works on philosophy, on Shakespeare, on literary theory, and ona wide range of topics in English and European literature. He has edited a valuable collection of English broadside ballads, and is himself a poet of distinction and the author of a fascinating volume of autobiography. For all this, the keenness of his attention to College affairs has been unflagging, and those of us who have ever fallen below his own standards of breadth and precision in 'language and intelligence' (to borrow the title of his first book) - and that, I fear, means all of us - will have reason to remember the genial and forbearing wit with which he has taught us to do better. Fortunately, Professor Holloway remains a Life Fellow, continues to live in Cambridge, and retains a study in College. We hope to have the pleasure of his company for many years to come. Another loss is that of the Reverend John Sharp, who left the Society at the end of 1982, upon the expiry of his three-year period as Chaplain. The month of January 1983 found him working in the archives of the Redemptorists in Rome, in connection with his research. Mr Roger Davis was elected to a Research Fellowship from October 1982. He was an undergraduate at Queens', and has just completed his Ph.D. in Biochemistry; he is also renowned for his climbing achievements in the Alps and in Britain. He is spending the first year of his Fellowship at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. Our Director of Studies in Classics has added to the College's prestige by being elected to the post of University Orator. The means by which he encouraged his colleagues to cast their votes were ingenious and, of course, entirely legal. A.C.S.
MRS MARY POITS Many generations of Queensmen will remember Mary Potts for many different reasons and it is with sadness that we record her death last Christmas. She provided hospitality and support to many undergraduates whilst her husband, Lionel Potts, was Tutor and Senior Tutor. She instilled enthusiasm into countless musicians and was energetic in her contributions to music within the University and particularly within Queens'. We valued her continuing association with the College after her husband's death and many of us thereby gained a great deal. Her influence on the revival of early music and dancing in association with the Dolmetsch family was tremendous and we were privileged to be associated with a fine teacher and performer and a kind, gentle woman.

The Undergraduates Last June saw the departure of the last single-sex year of undergraduates. They were admitted in 1979, since when the College has taken women undergraduates. Thus we are now fully co-residential and, although there are no quotas for women, about 30% of the students are female (a similar proportion to that for the whole population in British universities). Some Colleges have aimed to have a more equal sex balance but Queens' takes no account of sex when admitting students, choosing those candidates who have the highest academic ability and the most promising potential contribution to the College. Many league tables are drawn up locally and nationally to compare the academic results of Colleges and each uses different criteria for doing so: some use just the results of third year students; some use all Tripos examinations; some use all University examinations. But by whatever criterion, Queens' came out well last June, being in the top few in all the tables. There were 74 First Classes in all and 56% of the College gained either a First or an Upper Second. This was a splendid performance and even more satisfactory when one realises that many of these successes were coupled with significant contributions to the sporting and cultural lives of the College and University; for example, this year's Captain of the University Boat Club rowed for Cambridge last year and gained another First Class - we hope he completes an academic, although not a sporting, hattrick this year. I gave detailed statistics last year of the admissions for 1982. The figures for 1983 are very similar. We are still one of the most popular Colleges in terms of the number of applicants per place, although the total number was slightly lower than for 1982. Of the entry for October 1983 about half are award winners and yet again the College pooled a large number of applicants, of whom almost one half gained places at other Colleges.
The College continues to seek applicants from all backgrounds and encourages those who wish to improve their understanding of the Cambridge admissions procedures to visit the College. We have held Open Days for two years now and they have been successful both for prospective entrance candidates and for teachers. I would be happy to receive requests from candidates and teachers to attend such an Open Day. We are all acutely aware of the cuts which have been imposed on universities. For Queens' this means a reduction in the number of undergraduates we may admit from home and European Community countries. This represents a significant decrease in revenue to the College which we hope to offset by admitting suitably qualified overseas students. The Government has set up various schemes to encourage overseas students to study in this country which are mainly aimed at providing help to meet the considerable university fees which overseas students are now charged (between ÂŁ4,000 and ÂŁ7,000 per year). Naturally all Colleges are anxious to attract overseas students and Queens', along with some other Colleges, has set up a scheme to provide bursaries for overseas students who, without such support, would not be able to come to this country. Due to our relatively poor endowment, our scheme is a modest one but it is hoped that Queens' will attract overseas students, thus contributing to our revenue and, at the same time, enriching the College with students from different cultures and backgrounds. J.T.G.
The Fabric The restoration of the War Memorial Library (The Record, 1982) has been completed by the redecoration of the panelled Lobby (the former Ante-Chapel) and the staircase rising to the Law Library. Set G4 in Walnut Tree Court is now back in occupation by a Fellow after special folding panelling had been constructed to cover the early 17th century wall paintings discovered last year. The room now appears to be fully panelled in mid-18th century style, but certain of the panels can be readily opened to reveal the earlier paintings. For many years past, part of the set Essex 3 on the first floor of Essex Building had been store-rooms for the old kitchens. With the closure of the old kitchens, we have been able to return these rooms to the main set. This has involved the removal of a cast-iron spiral staircase rising from the kitchens to the storerooms, and the service lift which formerly ran between the kitchens and the Erasmus Room. The whole set was then restored and redecorated, and is now occupied by Professor Bowett. In the summer vacation 1982, Essex Building was scaffolded to permit a complete external redecoration. The stone parapet had decayed in places and needed patchwork repairs. The slate roof to the building continues to cause anxiety - most of the slates have already been turned once in their life and are now becoming very thin. Some exterior water pipes on Essex Building which had always been prone to frost damage were moved inside the building. Fisher Building has been redecorated externally. Inside, a start has been made on modernising some of the
services by installing showers in the bathrooms and hand wash-basins in the toilets on W staircase. It is hoped to continue this modernisation staircase-by-staircase as finances permit. Cripps Court has now been occupied by undergraduates for over eight years. During the summer vacation 1982 the opportunity was taken to redecorate all the rooms internally. The corridors and staircases will follow in due course. In the cloisters of Cripps Court, the Portland roachstone cladding has been extended from FF to EE staircase, so that the ground floor of FF is now externally complete and the building is free of hoardings. Inside, work continues on the finishing of a launderette and toilets. The work described in this paragraph is part of the benefaction of Dr Cripps, to whom we are greatly indebted. The Old Porters' Lodge at the main gate of Old Court has been refitted with racks and cupboards to display items for sale to visitors in the summer months. The central heating in Walnut Tree Court has been made more effective by the replacement of an undersized heat-exchanger by a larger model. Much subterranean welding was required after another heat-exchanger in the Crypt under the War Memorial Library sprang a leak. Sets B5 in Old Court and HI and G3 in Walnut Tree Court have had bedroom dividers built so as to afford greater privacy to their occupants when the sets are shared by two students. There are not many sets in College large enough to be treated in this way. Most of the gas fires in College are of a great age, and the lack of spare parts has forced us to replace many of them. So far, Friars', Dokett and parts of Old Court have had new fires fitted, and the gas-ring fittings brought up to modern safety standards. The new fires have brought complaints that the safety guards do not permit the toasting of bread, crumpets, etc. in the traditional manner! Do the authorities in British Gas fully realise the social changes they are wreaking? R.D.H.W.

The President's Lodge With the departure of Professor Bowett and his family from the Lodge, a more thorough examination of the fabric of the Lodge was possible than has been done for many years. Some interesting facts have begun to emerge, and a few distressing areas of decay have been discovered. Surprisingly, little is known for sure about the early history of the Lodge, and much is speculation on the part of the historians. The original President's lodgings were the two rooms above the Old Combination Room, built in 1449. The range alongside the river was built not long after, to judge by its similarity to the Old Court buildings. However, it seems that this range was originally isolated and not given to the use of the President. The Cloisters were probably built around 1495 to connect the riverside range to Old Court. The President appears to have acquired the use of rooms in the riverside range by the 1530s, at which point the problem of access between his rooms in Old Court and the new range must have become very evident. No doubt this was the prime reason for the erection of the famous Long Gallery. By contrast with the earlier work done in Old Court and in the riverside range, the Long Gallery was built cheaply and to much lower standards. The existing cloister of 1495 was used as a base and a timber frame thrown up from it two storeys high, with a pitched roof above. No entry in the accounts can be found explicitly referring to this building, which makes dating difficult. One oft-quoted date is 1537, being the date of purchase of twelve waggon-loads of wood and 1000 tiles from the Carmelite monastery next door just before it was suppressed. 1537 is also the date of a document referring to "a certain ambulatory called Ly Galari,adjacent to the demesne of the aforesaid Carmelites" which could refer either to the Long Gallery or to the Essex Wing of the Lodge. However, it has been pointed out that the style of the present Long Gallery is that of the 1590/ I600s, and that it was built over a surviving dormer window in the riverside range, of apparently mid-16th century design. In an attempt to clarify the dating issue, we have sent samples of some apparently original rush-backed plaster for radio-carbon dating. In addition, core samples have been taken from some of the original structural timbers for dendrochronologic analysis. Throughout its history the Long Gallery has looked very different from its present appearance. Until 191 l it was completely rendered, with no exposed timbers. In 1911 the rendering was removed and plaster inserted between the studs to give its present half-timbered appearance. The architect for this work, Mr Cecil G. Hare, also altered most of the windows on the floor above the Long Gallery and inserted fake diagonal braces in the Oriel Window woodwork. It is a matter for speculation whether the original building was half-timbered or rendered. Certainly by the time of Loggan's print of College of 1685 the Long Gallery was rendered. However, inspection of the stud work during the current repairs shows that the studs were sawn straight and square only on their outer faces and not on their inner ones. Thus we can say that the carpenters who made the
frame expected the outer faces to be visible in the halftimbered style. Another major change in appearance of the Long Gallery has been the removal at an unknown date of three octagonal turrets and cupolas which originally rose above the oriel window and the bays at either end. Loggan's print had been the only evidence of the existence of these, until we noticed recently that in the ~nciei:it floor~oards of the attic there are octagonal msert1ons cut m exactly where the turrents would have been. A further change has been the blocking, again at an unknown date, of roughly half of the original number of windows. It appears'that at first the Long Gallery (and the floor above to match) had extra half-size windows r~ughly equally spaced between the surviving main wmdows. Photographs of the 1911 restoration show these small window-frames exposed when the rendering was removed. These window frames were destroyed in 1911 and replaced by dummy studs - the joins are still visible today. We now see that the positions of the blocked windows correspond exactly with softwood insertions in the otherwise hardwood panelling of the Long Gallery, indicating that the panelling was put up before the windows were blocked. We believe the panelling was up by 1604 (a date inscribed on the back of part of it) and is probably the panelling bequeathed to the College in the will of Dr Humphrey Tindall (President 1579-1614). In the bedrooms above the Long Gallery it has long been apparent that much of the panelling was a patchwork of scrap items, and it was decided in one room to remove all such panelling to inspect the main structure. It was then that we discovered the extent of the rot and beetle attack in the timber frame-work of the Long Gallery. Inspections behind the panelling in the other rooms revealed similar conditions along most of the length of the Gallery. Attack by both Death-Watch and Furniture Beetle was evident in all rooms, and fungal rots were present localised around obvious problem areas such as rain-water down-pipes or roof leaks. One particular, rather attractive, orange fungus ran most of the length of a structural post from the roof down to the Long Gallery panelling. In another spectacular instance of fungal rot, an Sin x Sin oak beam on which roof joists rest had rotted right away. Taken overall, the Long Gallery is in remarkably good shape for a timber building of its age, but in such a building one cannot afford to ignore the findings described above. Much remedial work needs to be done. The completely rotted beams will have to be taken out and replaced. The others will need to be treated to discourage fungal and beetle attacks. Most importantly, when the upper floors are restored, we must try to avoid internal wall finishes which might establish the environmental conditions behind the stud work which are conducive to fungal growth. Work on the Gallery will be reported in future editions of The Record. I am grateful for the assistance of Dr Peter F. Smith (Queens' 1952-55), Architect, and Eastwood & Partners, Structural Engineers, of Sheffield.

The College Pictu res The programme of cleaning and restoration proposed by Stephen Wildman , my predecessor as keeper of the college's pictures, has begun at last. The work has largely been confided to Mr Alec Cobbe, one of the country's leading restorers , who taught until recently at the Hamilton Kerr Institute, where the Fitzwilliam Museum trains restorers to care for the world's greatest art collections. Mr Cobbe began on the portraits that have recently been hung in the new Hall: Henry Hastings , Fellow Commoner 1 60 1 , and later Earl of Huntingdon; Arthur Wright, Fellow, 1 867- 1 924; an unidentified sitter, possibly Henry Godfrey, President 1 820-32; William Campion, President 1 892-6; the great Isaac Milner, President 1 788- 1 820; Henry Plumtree , Fellow 1 703-7 ; and Thomas Fitzpatrick , President 1 906- 1 93 1 . All these have been cleaned most satisfactorily in situ and in addition Dean Milner's p ortrait has been away to Mr Cobbe's studio for restoration. This is , however, onl y the most immediately visible part of the work that Mr Cobbe is d oing for the colle ge . He has also cleaned many of the p ortraits in the Old Combination Room and in the President's Lod ge , and done minor restoration work on some of them. He has , at the same time , embarked on the maj or restoration of the most imp ortant grou p of paintings in the college , the three fifteenth century panels above the altar in the Chapel. The work is being d one in Mr Cobbe's stud io and each p anel will be away for about a year. He has started with the centre panel , which shows the resurrection of Christ in the foreground , with his a ppearance in the garden to Mary in the background . When the panel was taken out it was discovered that it had another totally unrecorded painting on the other side . This cannot have been seen by anyone since the p anels were put in their present p osition in 1 89 1 . The panels were p reviously in use in the old Cha pel. They had earlier been in the long gallery of the President's Lodge. Although they have been described at various times from the early eighteenth century onwards the paintings on the back of the panels have never been mentioned . The p ainting on the back of the resurrection scene is of St George. The accom panying photograph is the first that has ever been p ublished of it. It is more than a trifle unusual for a totally new fifteenth cent.u ry painting to be discovered now , and we must anticip ate that it is most likely that we shall see the fi g ures of two further saints next year and the year after, when the other two panels are taken out in turn for Mr Cobbe . Dr J. M. Massing from King's, who was acting for the college as director of studies in the history of art when the new painting was discovered , has been engaged in research on the panels. He has identified the artist as the 'Master of St Gud ule' , who was 'working in Brussels in the 1 480s. He specialised in very large altar pieces , which had carved crucifixion scenes in the centre, and painted folding panels at the sides which closed over the crucifixion. A single comp lete altarpiece from his wo rkshop survives in this country, in the Bowes Museum at Barnard Castle. The college's panels were once at the sides of a similar vast altarpiece. When closed, these altarp ieces showed a group of saints. When we know who all our saints are , we may have a clue to the original client for whom the artist worked . The p ainting of St George suggests , although not conclusively , an English ro yal
patron. Edward IV or Richard III or their q ueens are obvious possibilities. At the time that these altarp ieces were bein g carved and painted , Edward and Richard's sister Margaret was, as Dowager Duchess of Burgund y , freq uently in Brussels. Dr Massing is continuing his research on this Master and his paintings . When he publishes his definitive conclusions they will certainly be of the greatest interest to members of the college. P.S.

Fou ndation Appeal Last year's Record rep orted that the College had launched a new appeal . Called the ' Queens' College Foundation Appeal', it is now well under wa y . It is aimed at charities and while many are very actively involved , it is not intended as a direct app roach to old members. Old members who are invo!v.::d will shortly receive detailed news of the position so far. In the few m onths since its launch the App eal has alread y received several donations from charities and from other sources who became aware of the College's needs as a result of the Ap peal. It is hoped to build on the foundations thus laid and that the p resent Ap peal structure might form the basis of a continuing fund raising effort by the College. In this re gard the College is aware that many old members may have particular personal connections , or may simply have suggestions or expertise which they may think of value . If so , the Appeal Secretary , Richard Fentiman , would be very grateful if they would write to him at the College . R. G. F.

College Expedition Fund and Golden Jubilee Fund Last year the College received a gift from the members of the 1978 Queens' College Spitsbergen Expedition in order to set up a fund from which grants could be made to expeditions, the majority of whose members are members of the College, involving travel or study in remote parts of the world. The Governing Body gratefully accepted this gift and set up a College Expedition Fund to which others have already contributed and increased the capital to about ÂŁ1,000. The 1933 Matriculation Year, in celebration of their Golden Jubilee, have collected a substantial sum to establish a Jubilee Fund for presentation to the College. The aim is to provide an income from which grants may be made to resident members of College in support of any project or expedition, requiring the exercise of initiative and industry, which might assist the applicant's education or generally promote the growth of his personality, maturity and understanding of the world. The Fund is to be open to additional contributions from any member of the College individually or any Matriculation Year collectively. The 1932 Matriculation Year have already asked that the considerable sum they raised, for a presention to the College to mark their Golden Jubilee, be added to the Fund. These gifts are greatly appreciated by the College and are particularly welcome since their purpose is one which we very much want to support and for which the College, hitherto, has not had adequate resources. If anyone is interested in contributing to either Fund then I would be pleased to provide further information. J .T.G.
Golden Jubilee Celebration 1933-1983 The suggestion that the Club Weekend this year should be made a specia l occasion for the reunion of the 1933 men to mark the fiftieth anniversary of their Matriculation Year has been very well supported. Thirty six have contributed to the proposed Golden Jubilee Fund . The Fund has reached a substantial total of ÂŁ750. It is particularly pleasing to record that thirty-two 1933 men have indicated their intention of being present at the dinner on 18 June. There is still time for the remaining potential of about twenty to decide to join the party! It would be splendid if some of these could be persuaded to attend this special gathering.
The E Society During Mr Hebblethwaite's leave of absence in the Lent and Easter Terms, the Society did not meet. Three meetings were held in the Michaelmas Term. The speakers were Dr Towle on 'The Falklands Conflict in Retrospect'; Mr Fentiman on 'Striking a Balance: the Tebbit Bill'; and Dr J. E. Baldwin, Reader in Radio Astronomy, on 'Is Space Empty? B.L.H.

The Library 1981-82
Librarian: Mr Wright (Dr Callingham in the Easter Term) Assistant Librarian: Mrs E. Machin Graduate and Undergraduate Assistant Librarians: H. R. N. Jones, N. P. Deakin,J. R. L. Fellows, J.M. S. Hurst, M. A. L. Bankes, P . G. Barker, J.C. Sargent, N. S. Kingsley
As the result of a generous bequest, a programme of rebinding and repair work was begun in the Old Library in 1982. Many of the College's older volumes are in an unsatisfactory state, despite the regular oiling and preservation work which is carried on voluntarily by Mrs Goldby and Mrs Merchant. Professional help has now been called in, with priority being given to severely deteriorated volumes, and to those needing complete rebacking. Funds are unfortunately still sadly limited, for the work involved is both difficult and expensive, and we cannot hope to deal with more than about twenty volumes per year. Professor Goldby, in the meantime, continues his own voluntary rebinding work in the Library, producing renovations of professional standards of expertise and elegance. The complete redecoration of the War Memorial Library, begun in 1981, was completed last year with the repainting of the lobby area. Two exhibitions were held in the Old Library during 1982. In the Easter Term, the Acting Librarian and the Junior Bursar organised a fascinating exhibition of old photographs of the College, the earliest dating from c.1855. The exhibition was on display during the Club Weekend, and aroused considerable interest among visiting Members. A small exhibition was held in the Michaelmas Term, in which some of the Library's greatest treasures, including medieval illuminated manuscripts and early scientific first editions, were on display. During 1982, the College received with great gratitude a bequest of several thousand books in the will of R. J. Street ( 1945). These included a particularly fine collection of works on military and modem history, and many magnificent art . books. The President and following Fellows donated copies of their own works: The President, Professor Bowett, The Law of International Institutions; Professor Chadwick, The History and Thought of the Early Church; Dr Sattelle (ed.) et al., Biomedical Applications of Laserlight Scattering. Books have also been presented by Mr Hebblethwaite, Dr Walker, Dr Smith, G. A. Starr, Professor Imano, T. M. W. Green, D. Cohen, N. F. Ashton, I. R. Forsyth, W. Allen-Heap, J. N. Hillgarth, T. N. M. Campbell, G. D. N. Wilcock, A. K. Gupta , the Rev. A. Pomfret, Mrs S. Farr, A. Watkins, N. Campion, A. Arlidge, M. Glazebrook, the Cambridge Guide Service, the Department of Pathology, the Classical Library and J. M. Dent and Sons. Members of the College are reminded that the Librarian has recently established an archive of works written by Members, and are cordially invited to contribute to it.

This year has seen a keen revival of interest on the College Union with the result that meetings which are open to all members have been extremely well attended. The Council was fortunate in having seven members elected this year who had held posts in the previous year and this has provided some continuity whilst allowing the new members to contribute fresh ideas. The Union has continued its routine but very essential work: it provides newspapers and magazines in the JCR and A. D . Browne reading room as well as bar and video games. The J.C.R., which consists of a bar and television room, was refurbished during the summer vacation and the more luxurious furnishings have contributed to give the bar a more friendly and cosy atmosphere. Plans to expand the facilities for Junior Members are still in the pipeline. A great deal of work has been done by Mike Croft in organising the supply of newly designed College sweatshirts, T-shirts and cheap stationery to the College shop which is run by the catering department. The newsletter is still produced regularly each week and provides a valuable means of advertising forthcoming sports and social events to both the Junior and Senior members of the College. The Union has continued to improve the services available to its members and now provides electrical and manual duplicators which are well used by the college clubs. Georgia Kaufmann organised an excellent entertainments programme over the year which catered for a wide range of tastes. In addition to the regular discos a highly successful live music night was held which featured three Cambridge bands. As usual a letter giving information about College life was sent to First Years before they arrived, and among other events bike and gown sales were held. The highlight of the Michaelmas Term was a cocktail party which was organised as part of the effort to welcome the First Years to Queens'. The Union has continued to support the interests of its members through financing the various College clubs and societies. In 1982 the Engineering Society was granted affiliated status and support was given to two new societies, the Queens' Early Music Group and the Wine Society. Significant improvements were made in the Union's Constitution in June, concerning the method by which the Treasurer's Committee allocated its income. These changes were followed with much success when the Committee drew up its budget in October.

Alves In 1982, as in previous years, the MCR continued to provide a varied programme of activity to supplement the facilities available in the Woodville Room itself -which was gratifyingly well-used throughout the year. Social events included the usual parties and weekly dinners, a wine-tasting evening in March (genially hosted by Dr Hughes) and a similar occasion in November joint dinners with Newnham MCR (one 'home' and one 'away'), and the annual 'Ethnic Evening' in June this year with a marked and very popular Portugese fla~our. We were glad to welcome Fellows and other guests to all ~ese events. A series of trips to cinema, opera and theatre m Lo?don and ~tratford continued throughout the year, occas1onally enhvened by the Chairman's antics at the wheel of our minibus. Sports activities were more subdued in 1982 and once again the MCR eight showed more enthusiasm than talent on the river. However, individual graduates took part in many College sports at varying levels - just one aspect of the greater participation in the life of the College as a whole which it has been this year's Committee's particular concern to encourage. Our thanks are due to the President and Fellows for continuing to invite graduates to dine at High Table a gesture much appreciated by all who take part. We ~re also very grateful to Dr Machin and Dr Cosh and their wives, for their generosity in entertaining MCR members and their keen and constant interest in the organisation and activities of the MCR. . The Michaelmas Term began with an unusually large mflux of new graduates, and an extensive programme of entertainment was arranged to introduce them to the graduate community. Their enthusiasm, and the election of a <?om_mittee which at last begins to reflect properly the growing 1?volvement of women graduates in every aspect of MCR hfe, encourage the hope that 1983 will be as rich and eventful a year in the Woodville Room as any in the past.

The Lent Term saw both the chorus and orchestra in action. Philip Coad conducted the performance of the Messiah Part II, Haydn's Magnificat and, with Nicholas Watts as soloist, Mozart's Piano Concerto K459. The con~rt, at Great St Mary's Church, attracted a capacity audience. The lunchtime recitals offered a varied programme, from recorder sonatas to humorous songs. Traditionally, the academic year ended with the May Week concert. The first piece was Bach's Fifth Brandenburg Concerto, with soloists William Thallon Gerard Wimpenny, and Nicholas Watts giving a farewell pe~or~a~ce .o? t~e flute. The chapel choir then sang Britten s ReJoice m the¡ Lamb" and after the Erasmus Lawn had seen the demise of yet more strawberries and cream, Graham Mackie was the soloist in the Mozart Clarinet Concerto in A, bringing to an end a most enjoyable concert. The new committee organised a wide-ranging set of lunchtime recitals for the Michaelmas Term. Record crowds attended a concert of early Renaissance music by th~ Queens' Consort. The new organ scholar, John Gibbons, gave an impressive piano recital, and the high attendance continued throughout the term. The main concert was held before a large audience in the West Road concert hall. The works performed were Bach's Magnificat, the Vaughan Williams "Fantasia on Christmas Carols" and Haydn's 104th "London" Symphony. The concert, following a term's rehearsal under the dyn'.'lmic baton of William ThaJlon, brought the year to a fme close.

Jukes, A. J. C. Quinn, J. R. Willett The Lent Term 1982 saw the fruition of the BATS' att:mpt .to ba~e o~r.prod~ctions firmly within Queens', while std! mamtammg high standards. Michael Croft directed Coriolanus in the Old Hall, a venue which, as far as.we_ know, has never been used before, except when it ram~ m Ma!' We~k. The play was abridged, so as to point up ideas given m a course of lectures in the English Faculty by Mr Michael Long. Costumes, props and set were kept as simple as possible. A Queens' fresh woman Jane Harrison, directed her own dramatisation of th~ first night of Milt~n's masque, Comus, in the chapel, an~ther venue which "!'e felt was worth exploring and which was used agam for a single performance of Everyman, directed by graduate Paul Smith. The change in the committee in the Easter Term gave us our first female president. As Mr Wright was on
Sabbatical this term, Dr Robin Walker kindly took over as Senior Treasurer. We started the term with Pirandello's Six Characters in Search of an Author, at the A.D.C., another show directed by a Queens' director, freshman Nicholas Moberley. This represented a conscious effort to make use of the A.D.C. at a time when itis threatened with closure. Our May Week production this year, directed by Anthony Quinn, broke with the tradition established over the past few years of only producing Shakespeare. We felt that Cloister Court demanded something Jacobean in style, and chose Webster's The Duchess of Malfi as an alternative. The production involved much technical expertise including, at one point, a firework explosion launched from the roof of the Erasmus Building, permission for which had to be obtained from Air Traffic Control. In the Michaelmas Term 1982 we put on Ubu Roi at the A.D.C. This was our only show not to have been directed by a Queensman, although the enthusiastic producer, Michael Croft, maintained firm links with the College. In the Lent Term 1983 we decided to increase the number of shows we support. Michael Croft will direct an adaptation of Julius Caesar in Queens' Old Hall. David Annen, an ex-Queensman, has been given financial help for his Genesis Pantomime at St Michael's Hall, and we are encouraging opera and ballet here by helping produce a double bill of Britten's Curlew River and a performance by the London Contemporary Dance School. 1982-83 President: J.

During the Lent Term the journalist Mr Fenton Bresler talked to the Queens' Bench. A forum was held on Police Powers, chaired by Mr Fentiman. The panel comprised a Chief Constable, Mr Rudy Narayan, the prominent civil rights barrister, and a criminologist. The annual programme concluded with the Annual Dinner. Administrative difficulties delayed the commencement of this year's programme. However, once begun it proved to be unusually stimulating. Mr David Miskin, a corporate lawyer with Reed International gave a most informative talk on the industrial tribunal. Professor Honnold, the visiting Goodhart Professor from Harvard, spoke also on the creation of the International Commercial Code in the United Nations. Early next term Lord Justice Oliver will talk to the Queens' Bench on the Court of Appeal. Other speakers include Mrs Justice Booth from the Family Court, and
Sir Zelman Cowen, Provost of Oriel College and former Governor-General of Australia. Again, a forum will be held, this year on industrial legislation . The panel will include Mr Patrick Quinn from the T. U.C., Miss Potter from the National Coal Board, and Mr Hugh Collins from Brasenose College. For the members, the Society has organised a mooting competition and, of course, its Annual Dinner. Finally, the Society would like to thank all those who have given support during the year. In particular, it is very grateful for the assistance and encouragement given by Professor Bowett, Professor Stein, Mr Tiley, Dr Napier and Mr Fentiman. 1982-83 President: W. J . Sibree Secretary: R.

Medical Society 1981-82 President: M. J . Taylor Secretary: N. A. Frost Treasurer: A. C. F. Butcher
During the Lent Term the Medical Society enjoyed an interesting review of Neurosurgery by Dr John Currie, Sub-Dean of Barts, and a talk entitled 'Neurological Hands' given by Dr Michael Small, a Consultant Neurologist from the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham. The informal Buffet Lunch which was held during the Easter Term was well attended and proved to be a successful innovation. In the Michaelmas Term the meetings were moved to Dr Callingham's new rooms in G4. Dr E. A. Hunter gave a very entertaining talk on the development of hospital care in Nigeria, and Dr Green from the MRC Clinical Research Centre, Harrow spoke on the physiology of North Sea diving. The Annual Dinner, held on 25th November, was a thoroughly enjoyable occasion. Dr Navaratnam, our guest of honour, was highly amusing in his speech, and Dr Bull hilarious in his rendering of the Society song. The rest of the year's calendar includes talks on the effects of radiation on the human body, microsurgery and limb replantation, anorexia nervosa and aspects of Home Office pathology. We also look forward to a Buffet Lunch and a Garden Party in the Summer. 1982-83 President: C. M. D . Gallagher Secretary: M. F. C. Callan Treasurer: R. J. Wilkinson
Classical Society 1981-82 President: I. R. Forsyth Secretary: H . E. Claridge
Dr Diggle has been a generous host at a wide-ranging variety of Classical evenings. The Society has been educated and entertained by such speakers as Professor Goodyear, our former treasurer and host, talking on Tacitus and Virgil, Professor Stein of Queens' discussing society and legal change in the Roman Republic. and Mr 13
Nicholas Denyer of St John's g1vmg an absorbing account of some artificial offspring of the Latin language such as Esperanto. A Roman Food Tasting was organised at the end of the year - an unconventional and enjoyable evening, allowing those present to sample the delights of Latin Haute Cuisine. We look forward to further classically-inspired evenings, such as the planned symposium, and a talk on Tibullus by Mr J. R. G. Wright in 1983.

Engineering Society 1981-82 President: J. M. Hartley Vice-President: E. Bertoya Secretary: T. W. Rickard Treasurer: R. J. Dixon First Year Representative: R. Cipolla Last year saw the inauguration of the College Engineering Society, its aim being to promote interest in Engineering and Industry within the College. The first meeting took place during the Michaelmas Term of 1981. Dr Gordon Glegg talked about his experiences during his many years as a consultant engineer. During the Lent Term two films about motor cars were shown and a highly successful trip to Paine's Brewery at St Neots was organised. The first annual dinner was held in the following term, this proving to be even more successful than the brewery trip! A dynamic new committee was elected during the Michaelmas Term. The first event was a film evening, with films about the Fens and the canal system. Cambridge Consultants Limited tooks us on a very interesting tour of their plush headquarters in the Science Park. We look forward to a very active Lent Term, particularly the visit to the lronbridge Gorge. We would like to thank Dr R. A. Smith for all his help and encouragement.

History Society 1981-82 President: J. G. O'Higgins Secretary: J. D. Beardsworth Graduate Representative: G. S. Garnett Committee: J. Harrison, P. N. Price The History Society's Annual Dinner in Lent Term 1982 was preceded by two meetings. John Twigg spoke on a subject of local history: 'Cambridge and the English Civil War', revealing how embroiled the city became in the swings of the conflict. The view of Britain taken by the Russian press is a current topic of interest; Jeremy Black was concerned with describing the attitudes of the eighteenth century press in Russia to events in England. Professor Henry Chadwick was the guest of honour at the dinner. 14
There were three meetings of the Society in the Michaelmas Term on quite different subjects. Professor V. R. Bergh~hn, from Warwick University, spoke at the first meeting on 'Ludwig Erhard and the West German Economic Miracle'. His emphasis on the personalities who ordered the post-war German economy highlighted the influence of American ideas on competitive economies as a reaction to the isolationist and strictly controlled economy of Nazi Germany. However, changes in ideology ran concurrently with continuities in personnel; the links between pre- and post-war officials and between East and West are stronger than might be expected. On 28th October Professor J. R. Jones, ProVice Chancellor of the University of East Anglia, previewed a book he is writing on 'Charles I - PostRevolutionary Monarch'. The final meeting at the end of November dealt with the more general and extremely well-covered subject of ¡Narrative and History'. Wallace MacCaffrey managed to inject new life into the ideas¡ under consideration and prompted a relatively lively discussion. On 10th November a now established termly event took place - the historians formal hall. Again many supervisors were present at an occasion usually more informal than the Annual Dinner, which is to come in 1983. 1982-83 President: J. D. Beardsworth Secretary: J. Harrison Committee: A. P. Roach, M. C. Dean, D. M. Anderson
Christian Union 1981-82 College Representatives: R. M. Callow, R. J. Tilbrook Over the last year the Christian Union bas continued to seek to fulfil its aims in various ways. Discussion groups have continued to be a means by which some can investigate the claims of Jesus Christ and the various aspects of the Christian faith . It was good to see the number of people wanting to do this in the Michaelmas Term make it necessary to have two groups running consecutively. On the individual level, many of the ideas on how to share our faith suggested by Rev. Roger Simpson at last year's houseparty have been put into practice. Use of the CICCU Sunday Night Addresses has also increased, and it is encouraging to have seen several people become Christians during the last year. Weekly prayer meetings continue, and new faces are regularly seen. Six Bible study groups still meet weekly, although it is becoming more difficult to find two people to lead each one. Many people have found these valuable over the year, especially in supporting one another in prayer. This has continued to be backed up by prayer partnerships. Our houseparty at the end of the Long Vac was held at Hengrave Hall in Suffolk, and was led by Rev. Graham Herbert, our male assistant missioner for the triennial CICCU mission taking place in the Lent Term 1983. Sharing thoughts from Colossians, he led us in very practical sessions on sharing our faith, helping new Christians to grow, and how best to use the mission. We look forward to his being with us during that time. It is envisaged that Sunday lunches will take on a more structured programme over the year ahead, in an attempt
to provide systematic teaching on various topics not covered elsewhere. We continue to be grateful to all our speakers, and to our Lord for all He has done for us. 1982-83 College Representatives: A. G. Jennings, A. P. Owen
Film Society 1981-82 President: P. A. Bacon Secretary: R. T. Arnold Treasurer: J. A. Johnson Committee: S. J. Richards, D. K. Watts, E. D. Smith, E. J. B. Parkinson
Queens' Film Society has continued to present a varied programme containing a selection ranging from lesser known, but nevertheless entertaining, films such as 'Dr Strangelove' to the top of the commercial range where 'Fame' pulled in the crowds at the beginning of the Michaelmas Term. The 1983 programme opens with 'One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest' and contains old classics such as 'Casablanca' and 'Top Hat' as well as the recent and highly popular 'Tin Drum'. Financially, the Society has suffered from the effects of large repair bills. It is gratifying, however, to see that the policy of film selection continues to attract large audiences on a regular basis which augurs well for the future of the Society. A revised admission charge has finally become necessary this year but we proceed confident that the Society still continues to provide excellent value for money to College members and outsiders alike. 1982-83 President: E.

Photographic Club 1981-82 Chairman: J. G. Turner Secretary: S. St J . Anstee
After its foundation in 1980 as a Club to provide and maintain basic darkroom facilities in College, the Queens' Photographic Club has at last grown in the size of its membership and the sophistication of its equipment. The Club now has a comprehensive set of equipment for black and white processing and hopes to obtain a set of equipment for loan to College members. With this in mind a tripod is now available. The darkroom is seldom empty and has even been booked till 4.00 a.m. ! Of its many users Ed Smith, John AlderseyWilliams and John Renshaw should be praised for their photographs which regularly appear in Stop Press. We would also like to praise and thank Steve Melton for his efforts and enthusiasm in improving the darkroom and Dr Cormack for continuing to be the Senior Treasurer.

Wine Society 1981-82 Committee: R. T. Arnold, J. R. Willett, L. C. Statham, D. J. McLaren
The Queens' College Wine Tasting Society was founded on 16 February 1982 with a tasting of French and German white wines under the guidance of Dr Norman Hughes who is in charge of the College wine cellars. An informative talk on how to taste with a selection of wines was followed in April with Portugese and Spanish red wines and with Bordeaux in November. The meetings are restricted to thirty undergraduates, and further meetings with guest speakers and wine dealers are planned for 1983. 1982-83 Committee: R. T. Arnold, J. R. Willett, S. J. Vollmer, D. G. M. Jarrold
Record Library 1981-82 Committee: C. A. R. Croft, K. P. Fullbrook
The rapid expansion of the Record Library continued through the year. Membership is steadily increasing, and is well over the hundred mark. Thanks to another grant from the J.C.R. many more records are being added to the collection. While the obvious "chart albums" are still being bought, a concentrated attempt is being made to fill in gaps, particularly the lack of reggae and new music. An additional inventory for the contemporary music records will enable small numbers of records unaccounted for to be replaced. The classical section is still little used but is soon to be reorganised - the recently improved record cupboard being an incentive here. With this done, and additions made to the classical section we will have a wide-ranging selection of music to suit all tastes, and the Library will provide a better service than ever before. 1982-83 Committee: E. D . Smith, S. W. D. Egan
Feminine Forum Queens' College Women's Group came into being in the second year of co-residence. The Group meets as a 'Feminine Forum'. Lively debates have ensued after talks given by speakers on such topics as women in education, prostitution, and eating disorders. These discussions are attended by women and men alike. Queenswomen have also been meeting in private to discuss issues raised, in more detail, using this as an opportunity to get to know one another, which has sometimes been difficult given the male:female ratio. We hope to continue to promote discussion and thought about the position of women in society, as the very existence of this Group has already done. 1982/83 President: V. Schnieden Secretary: G. L.

Boat Club. 1982 was an unfortunate year for Queens' 1st VIII; in the Lent bumps they bumped Corpus on the second day to place them sandwich boat. However, on the third day they missed a bump due to someone coming off his slide and on the fourth day they were again unlucky when they lost a blade by The Plough and were bumped. During the Easter Term training became very lax due to. a lack of discipline, hence Queens' were bumped three times in the May Bumps. Nevertheless, the 2nd VIII were more successful in both the Lent and May Bumps, their determination enabling them to make two bumps in the former and three in the latter, and they were unlucky not to get their oars in the Mays, failing to do so only due to Caius bumping out in front of them. Many of the lower boats also made two or three bumps in the Lents and Mays, and in the Easter Term more peoJ>le from Queens' rowed than from any other College. Queens' Ladies also continued their upward climb by going up three places in the Lent Bumps. However, due to what I felt was a lack of confidence, they were bumped on the first two days of the May Bumps before getting a bump on the final day. In the Michaelmas Term all three first boats were strong and this resulted in good positions for the 2nd and 3rd VIIIs in the Fairbairns. Unfortunately a slide broke in the 1st VIII and they had to row a lot of the course with seven men, so the final result did not represent the crew's true potential. The novice VIIIs also did better than normal in the Clare Novice Races. Rugby. The 1981/82 league season ended disappointingly for the 1st XV with a poor performance and defeat against St John's which left them in fourth place in the league, reflecting on what might have been if the form shown in defeating league champions Fitzwilliam in December had been more consistently produced. The 2nd XV went on from strength to strength, winning their final matches and finishing with a very creditable second place in the second division, clearly the

best placed 2nd XV, and above eight College 1st XVs. A similar trend was shown in Cuppers where the 1st XV beat Sidney and then lost once again to St John's, despite playing well. The 2nd XV had a very successful run, defeating Fitzwilliam II, St John's III and St John's II before losing narrowly to a strong Magdalene II side in the final, a match in which the second XV were supported by a very high tum-out from Queens'. The remainder of the season passed with a few friendly matches against touring sides, including one very poor but extremely cheerful side from Paris who were defeated by a good 50 points. In the Sevens competition it was once again 'nearly but not quite' as Queens' played very well to defeat Selwyn and Magdalene, and then to lead at half time against a very strong Fitzwilliam side before an unfortunate interception allowed Fitzwilliam to score, and they went on to score four times without Queens' touching the ball. The end of term tour, planned for Valencia, unfortunately fell through due to a lack of communication from Spain. This led to the suggestion that we should start organising the 1983 tour immediately, and that it should be to America. Due to a lot of hard work in fund raising, this possibility has become a reality and plans are now well advanced for a two and a half week tour at Easter, playing teams in St Louis, Champaign, Bloomington, Lexington, Nashville and Atlanta. The 1982/83 season started with an unprecedented amount of training and a great deal of commitment from over forty players. This paid dividends with a successful term for the 1st XV, starting with a fine win 14-12over St John's. Having lost R. D . Sanders and J. Downs to play for the LX Club, Queens' then played badly to lose to Pembroke 6-18. A series of early wins followed before the very wet weather in November caused three weeks of rugby to be lost. The last game of the term was once again away to Fitzwilliam but there was unfortunately no repeat of last year's win as Queens' lost a very tight and hard-fought game 6-7.
The 2nd XV started the term well with three wins over Corpus, Girton and Sidney before, sadly depleted by injuries, they lost to Caius. Due to the weather they played only two more games, losing to St John's II and Trinity Hall, to finish the term about midway up the league table but with every prospect of improving that position next term. Association Football. Following an encouraging season in the second division, the 1st XI continued to play good open football in the Lent Term, and were unlucky to lose 3- 1 to a very strong Jesus team in Cuppers. The side bounced back to reach the semi-finals of the six-a side tournament and was also successful on a tour to the north-east where the quality of soccer fortunately rose above that of the skipper's driving. It was obvious, however, that the new season would pose several problems as the entire forward line had left, the biggest blow being the signing by Liverpool of Dave Platten, star striker and captain elect. Steve Jones was hastily voted in to replace him as captain, but the season began with defeat by the only goal against Selwyn. Although Sidney Sussex were then defeated 2-0, it was clear that the team was going to find it difficult to score, despite the valiant efforts up front of Mark Aarons and Ian Cummins, neither of whom enjoyed much luck. Indeed , three successive away defeats ensued, notable only for the bre.a king of Mark Heffernan's nose and a less successful attempt to rearrange Tim Amheim's bone structure by the St Catharine's full-back. Perversely, but thankfully, the side continued to win narrowly at Barton Road, inflicting 2-0 defeats on league leaders Clare (supersub Phil Broke notching both) and a poor Magdalene side. With Tim Robins finally achieving the form he had been promising for so long, a new urgency was evident and twelve goals followed in the final two matches, lifting the side to fifth place. Special thanks should be extended to Nick Bolton and Pete Harris who were exemplary in a defence in which the hard tackling of Mark Heffernan and organisation of Steve Jones were also prominent - indeed, with only eight goals conceded all term, the back four could not be faulted . The midfield was held together by top scorer Rick Portlock, while Tim Arnheim showed his undoubted class when injury permitted . Up front, the hard running and skill of Ian Cummins repeatedly caused problems. Thanks must also go to Dave Winfield, Tim Robins, Mark Aarons and the battling Andy Kelton. The 2nd XI had a mixed season, but owed much to Phil Broke, Eddie Sheen and Gavin Kendall, while Jim Davis would have been the first choice goalkeeper in many other Colleges. Finally, thanks are also due to Keith for preparation of pitches and encouragement, Anselm Frost for captaining an eager 3rd XI, and to the loyal supporters who braved arctic conditions against Athena F. C. Hockey. In the 1 982 Lent Term Queens' 1st XI were undefeated, playing some excellent hockey. They finished third in the league, inflicting crushing defeats on Corpus and Trinity and beating the league champions, Downing. The Club again went to the Clacton Easter Festival, producing some memorable events on, and mainly off, the field. Nick Brown captained the side and still managed to score a few goals. Gary Nienow
continued to score prolifically for both Queens' and the Wanderers. Andy Torrance dominated the middle of the field with his tireless legs and astute distribution. The Michaelmas Term saw Alan Schuster Bruce captaining the team. Having Jost several key players and with many others adj usting to new positions, the side is struggling. However, results were improving towards the end of term as experience was gained. In Cuppers Quentin Brown scored a hat-trick against Sidney but Queens' were unfortunate to play the eventual winners John's in the quarter-finals. It was an exciting match which Queens' lost in extra time. Martin Scott and Phil Barr saved several short corners off the line and Gary Nienow always looked dangerous on the break. For the league side Gary Dodds is starting to play very well at centre-half. On the left Bob Neal bas been unorthodox but sound at full-back, and Richard Marples has developed into an efficient half. Left-wing Barbara Kaye in between playing for the University Ladies team has shown excellent stick work and ball control. Gordon Prescott has continued to keep goal well and provide a valuable commentary on the game. Dave Wolffe and Laurence Peel are linking well in attack on the right. Stewart Smith is playing better than ever for the Wanderers and Phil Barr is still keeping goal for them. Gary Nienow has been acclaimed as this year's 'find' for the Blues, and has been much in evidence as their centre forward . The 2nd XI under John Raymond are struggling despite playing with a lot of enthusiasm and spirit. David Goodfellow and Jane Harrison have put in several sound performances. A Ladies team has been started . It struggled to find a side in Cuppers during the Lent Term. In October Jane Harrison captained the side which, strengthened by several enthusiastic first years, has produced some good performances in the Ladies league. Cricket. Queens' had a fair season, welcoming several players of above-average ability. Having crushed Girton and Christ's in Cuppers, we were beaten by Pembroke (yet again) in the quarter-final on a stormy and frustrating day, best forgotten. The team was captained quietly, firmly and (relatively) efficiently by Gavin Breeze, whose bowling was even faster and a shade more accurate than in 1 98 1 , but whose batting was paralysed by nerves. Batting was generally good if, as is traditional, prone to unexpected rapid collapse . Gary Nienow showed class, particularly in his 99 against Camden, and found staunch, even suety, support from Quentin Brown. James Sturt-Scobie was certainly the most powerful batsman in the side and, with a little more zip in his bowling, could go far. James Medd was pretty but lacked authority, Jem Bown was rusty but combined a good eye and a fighting temperament to useful effect and Rick Portlock was industrious but occasionally rude. Quentin Brown and Gary Nienow added much steadiness to the bowling; the former being notable for his ferocious appealing, the latter for his disconcerting bounce . Howard Jones was economical but probably majored too heavily on the banana ball. Gordon Prescott again took wickets against the weaker opposition but rarely hit a good length. Fielding was again poor, David Goodfellow accepting with alarming alacrity the mantle of Harold Snow, but fulfilling his duties with considerably less finesse and at a
17
considerably higher pitch. Exceptions included Steve Jones, who kept wicket tidily as well as scoring many runs, Dave Knott, whose fielding in the covers was generally safe, and James Medd, who gave the College a good short leg after a long dearth. Cross-country. The past twelve months have witnessed a year of mixed fortunes for the cross-country club. In the Lent Term, relegation to division two was narrowly avoided, division one status only being secured in the final race. The lack of club distinction was the consquence of a series of unfortunate injuries and the over-reliance on one or two team members. A team represented Queens' in each of the St Edmund Hall, Selwyn and Hyde Park relays but without the success of years gone by. Result-wise the term was disappointing but not too unexpected, given the lack of strength in depth so essential in team events. Nevertheless, club spirit was buoyant at all times, its enthusiasm making up for its lack of ability. In sharp contract the Michaelmas Term has seen the re-emergence of Queens' as a .cross-country force. The regular team members of the Lent Term, namely David Higgins, Paul New, Pete Haynes, Andrew Jennings, Roger Ridley and Roland Ennos, were joined by Ewen Ferguson and Michael Molitor to provide the firm basis for the team's onslaught on the various competitions. An injury to Paul New robbed Queens' of certain victory in the first league race. However, the club's optimism was justified by attaining a fine second place in the league relay without the experience of Pete Haynes. Being placed second in CUppers, although a notably superior performance to recent years, was disappointing as several individuals ran well below their capal;>ilities, although it must be said that Andrew Jennings gallantly ran with the handicap of a foot injury. Paul New and Pete Haynes were selected for the University third team, the former, as captain, but was forced to decline as a result of injury. Ewen Ferguson made the fourth team. David Higgins was unfortunate just to miss out on a blue and subsequently captained Spartans. The club eagerly awaits 1983 with the chance to consolidate and improve on the success of the Michaelmas Term. Swimming and Water Polo. With the league won, we set our sights on Cuppers. After coasting through to the finals we came up against our old rivals, John's, and were unfortunately outplayed by a very strong side. The summer saw a lull in training till the swimming Cuppers. Here we did not fare so well but the ladies claimed a place to finish third. The new year saw some new faces and plenty of fresh talent. The term started well with a 12-1 victory over Pembroke. Similar successes accompanied us till the crucial match against John's. We scored the vital goal with thirty seconds to spare. The result was 4-3 to Queens' and the league was ours again. Next term leaves us with a secure run to the finals which should again be against John's. With a term's practice before the match, we could well improve on the win in the league. Squash. 1982 was a year of mixed fortunes for Q.C.S.R.C. In the Lent Term we enjoyed a good run in Cuppers, reaching the semi-finals despite our team not containing any University players. We also gained promotion to the first division, largely due to the efforts 18
of Dan O'Donoghue, Dallas Reid and Andy Haigh, our three most mature players. Flushed with success a team of six travelled to Manchester, with their supporter, for a tour whose success was mainly due to the great hospitality shown us, Adrian Lewis's alsatian and Dan's driving. The start of the Michaelmas Term revealed a wealth of enthusiastic freshmen to replace our losses, and dry rot in Court No. 2. Despite attempts to prevent their demise it cannot be long before the courts are replaced. The College has continued to run six teams including a ladies' team. The first team has found division one quite tough but the example set by John Gould in training should lead us away from relegation and prepare us for an onslaught on the division one title next year. A vote of thanks should go to R. Arnold for running the ladies' team and G. Watts for helping with the lower teams. Badminton. After an indifferent start to the 1981 / 82 season, Queens' three teams all had to work hard to finish mid-table in their respective divisions of the Inter-College Badminton League. A run of disappointing defeats during the Lent Term prevented the first team's return to division one. The second team produced perhaps the best performance of the Queens' teams to finish fifth in division three, whilst some good wins over strong opposition saved the third team from possible relegation to division five. Thanks must go to Nick Davies and Pete Bruce for all their hard work in organising last season's fixtures . This year, the first and second teams both look set for promotion, although there are some difficult games ahead. The third team are struggling to survive in the fourth division, but have their easiest game still to come. With a number of keen and talented first years, the club looks set for some success over the next two or three years. Sailing. 1982 saw the University Cruising Club establish a second fleet of larks out at Grafham Water Sailing Club, and also improving the upkeep of the fleet held at Milton, just fifteen minutes cycle ride out of Cambridge, where the Queens' la r k is held. Unfortunately Lent Term Cuppers was not a success story with the Queens' team failing to progress beyond the first round.
Swimming and water-polo team 1981-82, which won the League and came second in Cuppers.
Table Tennis. Queens' Table Tennis Club continued to flourish during I 982. Throughout the 1981 / 82 season we had a popular and enthusiastic captain in Niall Campbell and because of the keen interest shown by a large number of first years we were able to field six successful teams in the University inter-college league. Queens' I finished a creditable second behind Caius I in the top division, and in the lower divisions Queens' 3rd, 4th and 5th teams all gained promotion whilst our second team missed promotion to the first division by only one point. In Cuppers Queens' reached the quarter finals before losing narrowly to top-seeded John's. On a less serious note Niall's individual table tennis reports in Queens' newsletter earned some notoriety, and the Club's dinner was a great success. In the autumn the Club once again enjoyed an influx of interested first years, and Queens' currently has seven teams playing in this year's inter-college league, compared to two or three from most other Colleges.
Croquet. The surge of interest in croquet continued last year, with a record number of entries in Cuppers (over twenty) and the first tour by the Club to Oxford. Success in Cuppers was limited, but (helped by several walkovers) Queens' managed an honourable overall 6-6 draw in the tour against Magdalen, Queen's, Trinity and New Colleges. Messrs Bullock and Wardle won one rubber against Magdalen whilst Mr Meyrick and Miss Malpass won two against New College. This year the Club intends to continue its policy of replacing old equipment, and has established that individuals will have to pay for balls lost in the river! It is also hoped that some of the Oxford Colleges will make a return visit to Queens' this summer. Chess. This has been a very satisfactory year for the Chess Club. The second team was promoted at the end of the last season to the third division, but the first team was relegated to division two. We were able to field three teams in the league at the start of the Michaelmas Term. Currently all are performing quite well but none are likely to win promotion. However, everyone seems to enjoy playing and some individuals have proved to be excellent players or good organisers. Colours have been awarded to Andrew Maclaren, James Bedford-Roberts, David Halsey and Ian Munns. Richard Holmes was awarded colours for winning the University Lightning Chess Championship.
Darts. This was an outstanding year for Queens' Darts Club. In the Lent Term, Queens' A' comfortably retained the league championship, owing primarily to the sterling performances of Mark Holland, arguably the most consistent player in the University at that time. Sadly Queens 'B' failed to maintain their form of the previous term and were relegated to the second division. There was however considerable consolation in that Queens' supplied six players for the Varsity Match, in the course of which only two games were won for Cambridge by non-Queensmen. Despite disappointing performances in the University singles and pairs events, Queens' reasserted its superiority in Cuppers, where in a nail-biting finish, the 'A' team defeated the 'B' team 5-4 in the final, with the nearlegendary Dan O'Donoghue slotting home the winning double under enormous pressure.
The reorganisation for the 1982/ 83 season left Queens' still probably the strongest team in the University, on paper. Unfortunately the form of some players in the 'A' team was to say the least erratic, and though the league title was (temporarily) surrendered, a creditable position of equal second was achieved. The 'B' team held its own comfortably in the second division, and now has a powerful squad well capable of gaining promotion, while the 'C' team continued its relentless pursuit of beer-leg triumphs in division four. As most of the first and second team squads will remain for the 1983/84 campaign at least, prospects for 1983 are very good. With three of the four members of the University committee, including the President, Pete Stewart, Queens' will remain the undisputed centre of the sport in the University. Bridge. Last year was a very successful one for Queens' at bridge. The first team reached the semi-final of the Cuppers knock-out teams of four competition before losing to Trinity I - the eventual winners - falling away in the second half of the match after a very evenly fought first half. The team was Neil Smollett, William Sibree, Tom Bannatyne and Phil Broke. Neil was a regular member of the University second team and was selected for the undergraduates match against Oxford. The second team reached the quarter-finals of the competition. This year the first team of Tom, Phil, William and Richard Plackett are the second seeds and have progressed to the third round of the competition. Richard and Neil were regular members of the University first team last term and Tom and Phil were selected for the second team. Tiddleywinks. Queens' continued to dominate University winks, and retained the Cuppers title beating Robinson I 8-10 in the Easter Term. The same term also saw three Queens' Quarter Blues helping Cambridge to yet another victory in the Varsity match. The Lent Term began with a squash and the legendary Queens' College Tiddleywinks Club punch. A number of keen freshers have emerged and we look forward to another Cuppers success in 1983. Unisock. Queens' Unisock is a society for unicyclists (or monocyclists) and, formed in the Michaelmas Term 1981, is the first such society in Cambridge. Our activities mainly involve the teaching of novices, group rides through the town and informal practice next to the Queens' squash courts. During Lent Term, the Queens' unicycle was purchased and used for the first time. This made practice much less of a problem for those members not owning their own unicycles. Later on in the term several of the more proficient unicyclists took part in the rag parade (riding the whole distance!), and gave unicycling exhibitions in the town centre to earn money for the rag. Great improvements were made during Easter Term and we looked forward to seeing one or two members taking part in the entertainments for a May Ball or one of the other events that term. This was unfortunately not to be as the events applied to were among the large number cancelled. We hope to have a little more luck next year. The year finished well with a new influx of first year recruits and a J .C.R. decision to provide a second Queens' unicycle.

Queens' M en in the N orth-West The Thirty-Second Annual Dinner for Queens' Men in the North-West was held at the Old Vicarage Hotel, Stretton, near Warringt on on Friday 2nd April I 982. The Revd Bryant F. F. Crane presided and twenty-four members of the College were present. The Guest of Honour was Dr John E. Carroll, Director of Studies in Electrical Sciences. The next dinner will be held on Friday 25th March 1 983 at the same hotel at 7.00 for 7.30 p.m. This year the Guest of Honour will be Dr J. M. Prentis. Enq uiries should be addressed to the Revd Bryant F. F. ST8 7JE (Tel. Stoke-on-Trent (0782) 5 1 3752) .
Queens' M en in the S o uth-West The tenth Annual Dinner for Queens' men in the South West was held on May 7th 1 982 at the County Hotel, Taunton. We had a gathering of twenty four which was easily the largest for several years. One of the reasons for this was the fact that our Guest of Honour was Dr Max Bull and that many, especially the medics, had known him in their undergraduate days. It is hoped that we can extended this increased response further. In 1983, the dinner will be at the County Hate , Taunton on Friday May 6th. The Guest of Honour will be Dr B. A. Callingham and arrangements will be in the hands of E. W. Chanter of Malsover, Calverleigh , Tiverton EX 1 6 SBA (Telephone (0884) 2533 1 5) .
