ST EDMUND HALL

MAGAZINE VOL. XI, No. 3

OCTOBER 1976 EDITOR 1975-76: M. J. WICKHAM

THE PRINCIPAL AND FELLOWS THE PRINCIPAL, who completed twenty-five years in office on 31 July, has been invited, and has agreed, to serve as a Pro-ViceChancellor for a further year. In February he represented ¡ the University at the five hundred and fiftieth anniversary celebrations of the Catholic University of Louvain (Leuven). In May he delivered three lectures on St Jerome at The Queen's University, Belfast. Sir Denis Wright (Honorary Fellow) has been elected to an Honorary Fellowship at St Antony's College. In November 1975 Professor J. J. R. F. da Silva, who read for the D.Phil. at the Hall in 1960-62 and was Rector of The New University, Lisbon, until recently, was elected into a Visiting Fellowship for the academic year. In the same term the old member D. G. Phillips, Head of VI Form and Head of Modern Languages at Chipping Norton School, who had been seconded to the Department of Educational Studies to take charge of the German students there, was elected into a Schoolmaster Studentship for the year. The Hall's turn for having a Proctor comes round again in March 1977 and under the present system of pre-election Mr J. C. B. Gosling was unanimously elected to that office at a special meeting of members of the Hall entitled under the statute to elect held in the Senior Common Room on 10 March 1976. His fellow-Proctor will be Dr M. B. Powell, of St Peter's College, and as Mr Gosling was first admitted to the degree of Master of Arts he will be a Senior Proctor. On 30 September Mr J. Hackney and Dr E. A. Freeman retired as Fellows, the former to take up a Fellowship in Law at Wadham, his original college, and the latter to become Principal of 1


The Sunderland Polytechnic. Both will be greatly missed, and the gratitude and good wishes of the Hall accompany them. So far no successor to Mr Hackney as law tutor has been appointed, but the Governing Body has appointed Dr A. B. Worden, Tutor in Modern History, to succeed him as Senior Tutor. In place of Dr Freeman Christopher John Harris, B.Sc. (Leicester), Ph.D. (Southampton), Lecturer in Control Engineering and Mathematics at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology, has been elected to a Fellowship in Engineering at the Hall and a University Lecturership in the Department of Engineering. Hitherto the Hall has depended on the services of Lecturers for the teaching of Psychology, but in July the Governing Body elected Joseph Maria Franciscus Jaspars, Professor of Social Psychology at the Catholic University of Nijmegen from 1970 to 1976, to a Tutorial Fellowship in Psychology, to be held in conjunction with a University Lecturership. Dr Jaspars, who obtained his doctorate at Leiden University and was Associate (Fullbright) Professor of Social Psychology at the University of Delaware, U.S.A., in 1969-70, at present holds a temporary chair in the Social Sciences at Leiden and plans to take up his Fellowship in the autumn of 1977. AUSPICIOUS OCCASIONS EARLIER THIS YEAR two inscribed plaques were unveiled in White Hall, one on the evening of 27 January by Mr Peter Boon, Chairman of the Hoover Corporation, and the other on the evening of 14 May by Mr Minos Colocotronis, head of the shipping firm of Colocotronis Limited. The former plaque commemorates the gift to the Hall of a suite of rooms on the top floor of White Hall by the Hoover Foundation, the latter the provision of eight rooms on the first floor of the building by Mr Colocotronis, his son John Colocotronis and his nephews Alexander and Antony Georgiadis (these three being graduates of the Hall). Mr Boon was accompanied by Mrs Boon and representatives of both the Hoover Corporation and the Hoover Foundation, Mr Colocotronis by Mrs Colocotronis, his daughter Mrs Marika Lemos, Mr and Mrs Alexander Georgiadis and Mr and Mrs Antony Georgiadis. On both occasions the Principal and Fellows entertained their visitors to dinner after the ceremony and toasted them at dessert. 2


As St Edmund's Day fell in 1975 on a Sunday, the St Edmund's Feast was transferred, for reasons of domestic convenience, to the preceding Friday and was celebrated in customary fashion. The Visitor, Mr Harold Macmillan, was unable to be present but telegraphed his best wishes. The guests included the Master and Junior Bursar of Fitzwilliam College, and also Mr W. J. H. Liversidge (matric. 1934) in his capacity as Mayor of Abingdon, which was observing 1975 as the eight-hundredth anniversary of the birth of St Edmund, its most illustrious son. STAIRCASE VIII in last year's MAGAZINE, work commenced on the complete refurbishing of Staircase VIII (No. 48 High Street) in July 1975, Messrs Audley-Miller, the antique dealers, who occupied the ground floor, moving to a new shop at 46 High Street under White Hall. The operation continued vigorously throughout the academic year, and at the time of going to press (early August 1976) it is confidently expected that the building will be ready to house ten undergraduates and four Fellows at the beginning of Michaelmas Term. The reconstructed rooms are of a very high standard; being unusually large and retaining an individual character, they count among the best in the College. All are centrally heated, with double glazing on the High Street side, and there are showers and toilets on each landing. The house has been linked directly with White Hall; one of the two former staircases has been removed to make this possible, while the other has been replaced with a handsome staircase in Georgian style, with elegantly turned wooden banisters. Thought has been given to the colouring: the High Street frontage has been painted salmon pink, and the frontage facing inwards a warm ochre ('Oasis') which blends effectively with the KeJly block on one side and White Hall on the other. AS ANNOUNCED

IN MEMORIAM THE MAGAZINE records with regret the deaths of two scouts in the course of the year, Mr Jim Collins and Mr Percy Webb; both were victims of cancer. Mr Collins worked as a scout on Kelly III, Mr Webb on the toilets and passage-ways of Emden. Members of the Hall are grateful for their loyal service, and offer sincere sympathy to their widows. 3


GIFTS THE HALL warmly thanks the following : J. H. T. Clarke (matric. 1925) for presenting a two-handled silver bowl and a framed copy of E. H. New's print of the Hall, the former inscribed in memory of the two Lollard principals, William Taylor and Peter Payne; also an old print of the Hall; A. E. Ellis (matric. 1921) for presenting a silver plate, being the Stamford Raffles award of the Zoological Society, and the silver medal of the Linnean Society; the late R. D. English (matric. 1934) for bequeathing the sum of ÂŁ50.00 in his will to the Endowment Fund; the late Revd W. L. Guyler (matric. 1920) for a bequest of ÂŁ100.00, and his daughter Miss Margaret Guyler for the gift of her father's M.A. hood; S. Rahtz for presenting nine colour transparencies of St Peter'sin-the-East and the churchyard; Vivian Ridler (Fellow) for the gift of a morocco-bound copy of the Statutory Declaration made by Fellows on their admission, printed by himself; M. A. Ritchie (matric. 1949) for presenting a splendid watercolour by James Purdy of the old quadrangle of the Hall; the St Edmund Hall Association for further substantial gifts to the Scholarship Fund, the Graham Hamilton Travel Fund and the Directory Fund, as well as towards the cost of the Magazine; Dr R. T. C. Worsley (matric. 1939) for presenting the Emden Collection of books on naval history to the Library. ACADEMIC SUCCESSES obtained Firsts in Finals in 1976: D. M. Beckett (Modern History); E. J. Burns (English); S. R. Douglas (Human Sciences); J. C. Goff (Geology); D. W. Grice and A. N. Siopis (Law); C. E. A. Reddick (Engineering); P. R. Tapster (Physics); J.

M. Stansfield (Physics, Mathematics and Engineering Science); D. R. Hartley (Mathematics). Four obtained distinctions in Prelims : P. Boothroyd (Modern Languages); K. P. Cheong (P.P.E.); R. F. M. Adair and D. N. Pratt (Geology). Among other distinctions J. C. B. Perrott (1970-73; since 1973 a Senior Scholar of St John's) was awarded a Senior NINE HALL MEN

4


Mathematical Prize and the Johnson Prize in Trinity Term; M. J. Howard was awarded one of the five scholarships offered for 1976-77 by the German Academic Exchange Service in Hilary Term; C. R. Wilson, B.A., won a James Ingham Halstead Scholarship in Music in Trinity Term. GRAHAM HAMILTON AND COCHRANE AWARDS ÂŁ15.00 and ÂŁ30.00 were made from the Graham Hamilton Travel Fund, supplemented by a donation from the St Edmund Hall Association, to the following to help them to undertake trips in the long vacation involving 'enterprise, initiative and endurance': E. Gray, J. Hamilton, C. Sunter and J. Gove (driving to Greece and living rough camping out); T. Cripps (camping, walking and climbing in the Isle of Skye); J. Nason (climbing and living in mountain huts in the Western Bernese Alps); D. Kelsey (caving in Northern Spain: expedition organised by O.U. Caving Club); S. Tarran (the same as D. Kelsey). Travel scholarships from the Cochrane Bequest were also made to A. L. Lomas and D. S. Watson in order to help the former to attend a Russian language course at Krasnodar, in Southern Russia, and the latter to tour select parts of France with a view to improving his knowledge of French language and culture. These are the first awards to be made from the legacy of the late J. A. Cochrane, the income of which, with the full agreement of Mr Cochrane's Trustee and the other parties concerned, is to be used to provide academic scholarships for foreign travel or other approved special scholarly activity for the b~nefit of men reading Arts subjects, with a preference for former pupils of Haberdashers' Aske's School, Elstree. GRANTS OF BETWEEN

INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS 1964, when the Senior Research Fellowship held by Mr Arthur Ivor Marsh was set up, the Hall has been a vigorous centre for the study of industrial relations, and has acquired a world-wide reputation for the excellence of the practical investigations carried out by the Research Unit in this often intractable field. Research has developed throughout the present year and an important report, The Training of Managers in Industrial Relations, recently became available; it is hoped to expand work on training methods and approaches in 1976-77. In January 1976 Maria Hackmann, Assessor in Law, Federal SINCE

5


Republic of Germany, was appointed to take part in a joint Anglo-German study of workplace relations in the two countries. A History of the Association of Professional, Executive, Clerical and Computer Staff (APEX) is in active preparation and should be in print next year. In 1975 a firm of City accountants, Touche Ross and Co., agreed to sponsor a research project to be carried out by the Unit entitled 'The Disclosure of Information for Industrial Relations Purposes in British Companies'. An article on the subject appeared in the summer issue (1976) of The Industrial Relations Journal, and the work was scheduled to begin in earnest in the autumn. SUMMER INTERLUDE of the early part of Trinity Term was the sudden arrival of a mother duck in the library garden. She established her nest in the north-east corner near the base of the great elm- possibly attracted by the thought of the educational benefits her young might derive from the English literature tutorials the Dean conducts there in summer (he certainly did his best to communicate to them in their native language). In dl.ie course ten ducklings were hatched, and for all their zeal for literature the problem of getting them and their mother to some pond or river seemed to all the chief priority. This did not prove easy of solution, and when the Dean endeavoured to lead them into the High Street and down to the Isis, the mother duck balked at going through the old Forum gateway. All plans to lure the (by now sadly diminishing) family to the water were then abandoned, and an artificial but temporarily adequate duck pond was constructed in the churchyard. In this aquatic transit camp they remained happily until the onset of the Ball made their departure imperative. On the night before that great event the five survivors were charitably evacuated to the home of Mr Peter Chivers, the Hall gardener. The final act of the drama was the removal of the ducklings (what happened to their mother?) to the river and their adoption by another duck. AN EXCITING EVENT

A WANDERING BARGE which was rented from Salters from 1898 to 1938 and in the latter year (when the Boat Club moved to the O.U.B.C.) was converted by Salters into a houseboat, in 1972 became the home, under the restful name of 'Ataraxia', of A. J.

THE HALL BARGE,

6


Wheeler and C. Rayner, being moored in Harts Boat Yard, Portsmouth Road, Surbiton. Mr Wheeler informs the Magazine that in 1966 the barge, then masquerading as 'Wanderlust', was purchased by an Oxonian who gave her her present name. Three years later she was moved to London, where an outboard engine was fitted and a field telephone set up as the engine-room telegraph. Under her present owners she has been greatly transformed. The aft end, originally the wash-room, has been divided into a kitchen, bathroom and workshop; while the forward end, once the clubroom, has been fitted out as a lounge and a bedroom. Externally it is planned to reconstruct the stairway to the upper deck and to replace the missing flagpole with a worthy successor. Although described in the 1938 issue of the Magazine as 'rapidly decaying', the pinewood structure has been found, after the removal of thick layers of flaking paint, to be in excellent condition, and has been repainted in college colours. Messrs Wheeler and Rayner would be happy to show interested parties over the barge, and also to learn more details of its history; they should make contact with the Principal. COLLEGE COMMITTEE IN ADDITION TO the J.C.R. and M.C.R. officers, the junior members serving on the Committee were T. N. Hart, R. J. Lane and I. F. C. Murray in Michaelmas and Hilary Terms, P. Desmond, A. M. L. Elliott and R. J. Lane (re-elected) in Trinity Term. The Committee met regularly twice a term, and a wide range of topics including arrangements for the Summer Ball, the conditions on which a Third World Scholarship should be offered (still to be settled), terms for the use of J.C.R. facilities by students of the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art, and ways and means of solving the acute problem of accommodation (on this useful progress was made), were discussed. An important piece of constitutional business was the successful working out, in conjunction with, and ultimately with the endorsement of, the Governing Body, of By-laws to implement the provision of Statute VIII.12 that 'a member of the College in statu pupillari shall have a right to a fair hearing whenever the Governing Body is considering disciplinary action against him which may result in his expulsion or rustication'. An impasse was reached at the last meeting of Trinity Term when the junior members objected to the proposed increases in charges for 1976-77 on the ground 7


that, while purporting to match the increase in the maintenance grant, they did not take account of the fact that an element in that increase was supposed, according to government explanations, to compensate students for no longer being eligible for social security in the two shorter vacations. The debate on this issue was continued at extraordinary meetings of the J.C.R. and the Governing Body. HALL BALL 1976 THE BALL WAS HELD, once again in partnership with St Hilda's, on the last night of Trinity Term, Saturday 19 June, and as 1976 was the seven hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the supposed founding of the Hall in 1226 it was given an appropriately medieval flavour. Several lively groups, including Fairport and the Pasadena Roof Orchestra, made their contribution, and there were also Morris Dancers, a Juggler Travelling Minstrel, a Madrigals Orchestra, and other original excitements. The Chef and his staff rose magnificently to the challenge of providing a lavish and succulent banquet. Tickets were sold out, at 17 guineas each (so much for student poverty!), weeks before the event, and in spite of a continuous downpour of rain (almost the only rain that fell in Oxford in June) the Ball was a huge success. For planning and execution a warm tribute is due to Dan Jennings and the other members of the Ball Committee. ABSENT GHOST J.C.R. AND M.C.R. OFFICERS A. R. HARGREAVES was elected President of the J.C.R. in succession to R. Gretton on 1 December 1975, and R. W. Gaffey Steward of the J.C.R. in succession to J. S. Herlihy on 7 March 1976. M. K. Kramer resigned as President of the M.C.R. in January 1976, and was succeeded by J. C. Rao. At the end of Trinity Term C. D. Miller was elected to hold office for 1976-77. D. Llewelyn served as Steward of the M.C.R. throughout 1975-76, being succeeded at the end of Trinity Term by A. N. McGilvray.

MINUTES OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING T H E ANN U A L GEN ER AL M E ETING of the St Edmund Hall Association was held at Simpsons-in-the-Strand, London, on Tuesday, 14 January 1976, at 6.15 p.m. The President, Sir Denis Wright, was in the chair. The minutes of the previous Annual General Meeting, being published in the Magazine, were taken as read. They were duly approved and signed. The President announced that the proposed Supplement to the Hall Directory would not be published, as previously stated, as a result of the extremely high cost involved (£684 as against an earlier estimate of £200). It was hoped to publish the next full edition of the Directory within two to three years. In his Report, the Hon. Treasurer reminded the Meeting that the period under review was of 15 months' duration, covered four terms, and ended on 31 July 1975. Consequently, it had not been possible to publish the Accounts in the Magazine, as in other years; this had been the subject of a note by the President in the current edition of the Magazine. Briefly, the Hon. Treasurer reported that Subscription Income was up by £1,248 on the previous year (£2,403 compared with £1,155). This resulted both from the longer accounting period plus the increase in Composition Fees. There had also been a further win of £50 on the Association's Premium Bonds and a slight increase in the interest from the Building Society investment (£97 compared with £88). As to Expenditure, £300 had been paid over the period to the Scholarship Fund (£200 in July 1974 and £100 in July 1975) and there had been two payments of £80 to the Graham Hamilton Travel Fund. £600 had been appropriated to the Directory Fund and invested with the Cheltenham and Gloucester Building Society. With the Magazine cost of £728 being once again the largest single item of expenditure (and this itself showing an increase of £418 on

]2


the previous year), total outgoings were £2,138, or £735 up on 1974. However, there was a surplus of Income over Expenditure of £412 compared with a deficit of £130 . Assets of £2,148 showed an improvement of £1,012 and were represented by £1,900 invested , £100 Premium Bonds and £148 in the Bank. The Publication Fund of £197 had been absorbed into the General Fund. There had also been a welcome donation of £5. The outlook to 31 July 1976 indicated a possible slight deficitIncome £1,768 (3 terms), Expenditure £1,826 (allowing for inflation continuing at 25 %). This figure of £58 could be eradicated, and even turned into a small surplus if the rate of inflation slowed during the next few months. The question was raised concerning possible alternative printers being asked to quote for the Magazine. The President replied that this had been discussed at the Executive Committee Meeting preceding the AGM, and that it had been agreed to take this matter up with the Hall. The Accounts were accepted, and the President thanked the Hon. Treasurer for his careful watching over the Association's finances. He also explained that more detailed consideration would be given to the Allocations at the June Meeting of the Executive Committee, when the financial situation should be clearer. With no other nominations being received, L. D. A. Baron was elected to replace D. M. Carey for the period up to 1944. The retiring members of the Committee (up to 1954, N . J. Williams; up to 1964, R. A. Farrand) were proposed, seconded and re-elected. The Hon. Treasurer and Hon. Auditor, being willing to stand for a further term of office, were also re-elected . The Hon. Secretary had accepted a business appointment abroad and was unable to continue in office beyond the middle of 1976. It was proposed from the Chair that H. A. F. Radley, a member of the Executive Committee, should take over the Secretary's duties, and this was seconded and unanimously agreed. The President then drew the Meeting's attention to the proposed amendments to the Constitution, whereby reference to specific monetary amounts for subscriptions to the Association should be replaced by a more general form of words, thus obviating the need to amend the Constitution whenever the subscription level was changed. The new wording was read to the Meeting and, there being no objections, was duly agreed. There being no further business, the Meeting closed at 6.40 p.m. JOHN FREN CH

**Emeritus Fellow

The Principal welcomed the largest number of old members ever to attend a reunion, spanning- in terms of matriculation- the years from 1921 to 1974. In his speech he spoke first of the Fellows who were 14


leaving the Hall, Dr Freeman to take up his post at Sunderland, and Mr Hackney, who was being sent as missionary to Wadham. The flourishing artistic life of the Hall was singled out for special mention in the review of the year's events. Here, in the old hall, were put on some of the most advanced plays to be seen in Oxford and it was questionable whether one should be seen going in or coming out. But music and theatre had not diminished the range of sporting activities: witness the Rugby, Soccer and Badminton trophies that had been won in Cuppers. The Principal went on to speak of the completion of the new buildings and of the restoration of Staircase 8, the Ritz of St Edmund Hall, as it would soon be known. The Hall's need now is for a large house somewhere in Oxford that could be converted to accommodate graduates. Is there an old member who would buy stt.ch a house for us? Dr Emden spoke next, referring to the 'sartorial indulgence' that had permitted him to dispense with black tie. Otherwise it was 'too hot for words'. And, true, after an afternoon with temperatures well into the nineties, it was rather warm in the Hall. Sir Denis Wright, President of the St Edmund Hall Association, thanked the Principal and Fellows for the invitation to dinner, referring to the Principal's puckish humour and the agelessness- and kindnessesof A.B.E.

CLUBS AND SOCIETIES THE BOAT CLUB Captain: C. M. JONES Secretary: R. D. WARREN Treasurer: A. R. HARGREAVES Steward: F. A. BROWN THE SEASON WAS marked by the keen interest shown within the Hall. At one stage ten summer crews were planned, but owing to a shortage of boats only seven in the end participated. The results reflected this enthusiasm, three of the lower eights getting three bumps each. The First VIII rowed over comfortably for the second year running; the First Torpid had managed to move up one place. Individual achievements were significant, and five Hall men rowed in University crews. The Hall also dominated inter-college sculling at the Oriel Regatta. Officers for 1976-77-Captain:: R. Peskett; Secretary : P. H. Hirsch; Treasurer: C. B. Sunter; Steward: P. M. Watson. C.M.J. THE RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB Cuppers Captain: J. WALDRON League Captain,: C. H. PRETTY Secretaries: F. L. BARBER and C. A. HUGHES IN A YEAR of outstanding success the Hall won Cuppers after a two years' lapse and easily retained the inter-college Sevens shield. Although Michaelmas Term was less successful, the League side won its last four games. C. H. Pretty deserves credit for weathering the storm in midterm and trimming down a few forwards in preparation for Cuppers. J. Waldron set a splendid example in training, and his emphasis on 'cunning rugby' made the Hall XV the most attractive in Oxford to watch. In the run to the Cuppers Final the Hall swept aside Balliol, Lincoln and, most satisfying of all, Christ Church. A hard game against Queen's was won 12-4, and then a star-studded Worcester side was convincingly beaten 17-6. With many of the present team here next year the prospects for next season seem good. Officers for 1976-77- Captain: J. Samuel; Secretaries: J. D. Charles and C. A. Hughes. F.L.B. THE ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL CLUB Cuppers Captain: C. LAMB League Captain: J. W. RAMSEY Secretaries: J. A. B. GRAY and G. M. PRESTON THE LEAGUE XI was unfortunate in losing its first two matches, but won the remaining games and finished second in the League. The strong Cuppers side had an unexpected set-back, losing to Keble (the result of the loss of B. Thomas and over-optimism?) in the last group match; but fortunately the Hall qualified for the quarter-final as best losers. After this scare the team played well to reach the Final, which was played against Lincoln (winners of the League) under floodlights at the Oxford City Stadium. The large and vociferous crowd which braved the weather had the excitement of seeing the match go to penalties, and the greater excitement of seeing the Hall score four goals against two, thereby retaining the Cup. Similarly the 2nd XI cruised to an expected win, demon-

33


strating that the Hall's strength lies in depth as well as in quality. Officers for 1976-77-League Captain: M. A. Fabian; Secre.taries: M. S. Reed and R. Stichbury. J.A.B.G. THE HOCKEY CLUB Captain: M. SLATER Secretary: R. J. LANE A very enjoyable season was highlighted by the Hall XI gaming promotion to Division I, winning five of the six League matches played. This compensated, in part, for its sad exit from Cuppers at the hands of Trinity, and was some reward for the considerable effort made to retain a reasonable side. Officers for 1976-77- Captain: P. T. Clipson; Secretary: A. R. Ellis. R.J.L. mE CRICKET CLUB Cuppers Captain: D. P. WALTERS Secretary: C. A. PENWARDEN AGAIN THE CLUB had a disappointing season, as much due to the unavailability of grounds as to poor playing performances. Of the ten matches played only three were won, including a fine victory over the Stoics, who were dismissed for only 64. In Cuppers the first match, against Pembroke, was won convincingly, but we fell in the third round to St John's, for whom the captain of the Blues made 94 after being dropped on 5. Mention must be made of R. D. N. Topham and J. D. Charles, both of whom produced some fine performances for the Authentics, and the former of whom played for the University in its victorious match against Cambridge. Noteworthy individual performances were: D. P. Walters (51 v. Stoics); R. D. N. Topham (50 v. R.A.F. Brize Norton); J. H. Herlihy (44 v. Royal Army Educational Corps); J. D. Charles (6-30 v. Blenheim). Officer for 1976-77-Secretary: A. C. Bing. C.A.P. THE ATHLETICS CLUB Captain: C. M. LIZI ERI Secretary: J. w. TAYLOR IN ATHLETICS cUPPERS this year the Hall finished runner-up in the Final, yielding to Balliol by only two points. On the basis of their performance the following were awarded colours: A. W. Ayres, G. W. Chapman, K. P. Cheong, J. A. B. Gray, L. J. Hall, R. M. Hoolahan and J. H. McManners. C. M. Lizieri and J. W. Taylor were re-awarded their colours, the former having finished second in the 800 m . against Cambridge. K. P. Cheong was awarded a half-blue and J. W. Taylor represented the Centipedes in the 3,000 m. steeplechase. P. R. Edwards was re-awarded his blue for a record-breaking jump of 4 m. 20 cm. in the pole vault. Officers for 1976-77-Captain : J. W. Taylor; Secretary : K. P. Cheong. J.W.T. THE SQUASH RACQUETS CLUB Secretary: K. H . AUCKLAND Captain: w. L. EDDLESTONE THIS SEASON, after last year's promotion to the Second Division, proved disappointing, being one of frustration-despite losing reasonably in 34


Cuppers to the favourites, University College. A full side was rare, and there was no strength in depth to offset this disadvantage. P . H. Tudor and C. J. Smith achieved some good results, and J. D. Charles proved a useful reserve. Colours were awarded to C. J. Smith. Officers for 1976-77-Captain: K. H. Auckland; Secretary: C. J. Smith. K.H.A.

THE TENNIS CLUB Secretary: E. G. WAREING Captain: W. R. COOKE A POOR SEASON by any standards, this season was especially so in view of last year's Cuppers success. The team won only two of their League matches, and Jost in the quarter-finals of Cuppers to a strong Trinity side. Prospects look better, however, for next season, with talented freshmen like C. J. Smith, C. A. Roach and A . M. L. Elliott having benefited from this year's experience. Officers for 1976-77--Captain: E. G. Wareing; Secretary: C. A. Roach. E.G.W. THE BADMINTON CLUB Captain: c. BURDON Secretary: J. w. TAYLOR THIS YEAR the Hall completely dominated college Badminton in Oxford, finishing top of the League and winning Cuppers for a record third year in succession after defeating Wadham in a closely contested Final. A second team was entered for the first time, and lost only one match. Officers for 1976-77- Captain: J. W. Taylor; Secretary: R. A. Burger. J.W.T. THE TABLE TENNIS CLUB Secretary.: G. VANES Captain: s. J. BURNETT WITH A GOOD INTAKE of freshmen the first three Hall teams all had a satisfactory season. The first team especially performed well in the Second Division, and may have regained promotion to the First Division. In Cuppers, unfortunately, the Hall got no further than the first round. Officer for 1976-77- Captain: S. C. Richards. G.V. THE DARTS CLUB Captain: A. M. R . STONE THIS w AS AN unfortunate season for the Club, which slipped down the lst Division. The highlight was the final match against Jesus, with whom the Club drew 6-6. Captain for 1976-77: A. M. R. Stone. A.M.R.S. THE CROSS COUNTRY CLUB Captain: J. W. TAYLOR Secretary: L. J. HALL THE HALL made a promising start to the season with some good turn-outs in League races and regular club training sessions. Unfortunately it slipped to third place in Cuppers, and seventh place in the Selwyn relay 35


at Cambridge. Improved form was shown in the Hyde Park race this year, the Hall finishing 66th out of 100 teams. In the League the Hall ended up third. Officers for 1976-77- Capta in: H. M. Papworth; Secretary: A. J. Senior. J.W.T. THE S.E.H. ROAD RELAY A RECORD FORTY TEAMS entered the Relay this year, held on 4 February in and around the University Parks. The Cranford Institute of Technology finished first, while the Hall ended up in the sixth place; its 'B' team ran well to finish twenty-seventh . The cup, together with plaques and medals, was presented by Dr Collins at Iffiey Road Stadium after the race. J.W.T. THE CHESS CLUB Captai1t.: W. H. KINGSBURY THE LEAGUE was divided into four at the end of the season. Difficulties in fielding full-strength teams meant that the Hall narrowly missed selection for the First Division. In Cuppers, after disposing of University College, a sub-strength team was eliminated by Trinity on board count after drawing the match 3-3. Captain for 1976-77: W. H. Kirigsbury.

THE BRIDGE CLUB Captain: D. ANDERSON Secretary: P. DESMOND THE SUCCESS of the Club in Cuppers this year was dramatically increased by renewed support from previously dormant talent in the College. Despite three of the teams being knocked out in the first round, the fourth reached the quarter-final. Officers for 1976-77-Captain: R. A. Burger; Secretary: M. R. Devereux, P.D. THE LIDDON SOCIETY President : R. A. }UPP THE SOCIETY held its first meeting this year in Hilary Term, when Fr Edward Morris, of St Stephen's House, gave an interesting view of the Christian's attitude to politics. In Trinity Term the Society met again, this time with an increased attendance, to hear Sister Barbara, of the Community of St Mary the Virgin, give an entirely personal and very moving account of the vocation to the religious life. President for 1976-77: R. A. Jupp. R.A.J. THE CHRISTIAN UNION THE CENTRE POIN T of the year's activities was the University Mission in Hilary Term. The Hall group was privileged to work with the Revd J. B. Gillingham, of Plymouth, and the work put in during the Mission was richly blessed. The group continued to meet twice a a week. K.R.A. 36


THE HEARNE SOCIETY Secretary: J. E. EDE President: J. c. SAUNDERS THE SOCIETY'S ANNUAL PROGRAMME opened with an interesting talk by Mr H. G. Pitt, of Worcester College, on the foundation of the Mormon movement and, in particular, the character of its founder Joseph Smith. He was followed by Dr V. H. H. Hill, of Lincoln, who presented a very witty paper on a nineteenth-century Oxford election scandal concerning his college. Hilary Term saw the arrival of Dusty Miller, a postgraduate of the Hall, who talked about the myth of Dickens, at the same time exploding many other Victorian misconceptions. The final meeting of the term heard a paper by Dr H. G. A. V. Schenk, of Wolfson, on the European Romantic movement. The Society's dinner rounded off a highly successful year marked by good attendances and lively discussions. J.E.E. THE MUSIC SOCIETY President: P. Gow Secretary: B. ST J. TRAFFORD Treasurer: C. W. HIND THE SOCIETY mounted two concerts this year, both under the direction of the Organ Scholar, B. St J. Trafford. Michaelmas saw the more ambitious performance, the programme comprising Bach's Cantata 140 ('Wachet auf') and Purcell's Ode on St Cecilia's Day (1692), and concluding with Michael Haydn's Horn Concerto in D, P. Gow being the soloist. In Trinity an orchestral concert was performed which was well up to the standard now expected of the Society, consisting of Warlock's Capriol Suite, Mozart's Divertimento in D Major (Kl36), Purcell's Chacony in G Minor, and Haydn's Palindrome Symphony, No. 47 in G Major. This concert saw the last performance of Peter Gow, to whom the Society owes its revival. He is succeeded as President for 1976-77 by B. St J. Trafford. C.W.R. THE MUSIC CLUB President: D. NEUHAUS AL THOUGH THE CLUB has shrunk during the past year, this has encouraged members to give more enterprising and personalised programmes, with a resulting increase in enjoyment at the weekly meetings. The Club's other activities have also been successful, including the now regular and popu lar trip to Festival Hall. The annual dinner was held in Trinity Term, Dr Sherlaw-Johnson being guest-speaker. Officers for 1976-77- President: D. Neuhaus; Secretary: C. R. Russell . D.N . THE JOHN OLDHAM SOCIETY President: R. A. HUFTON Secretary: P. M. WATSON THE YEAR BEGAN with a production of Marowitz's Th13 Shrew directed by R. Mehrotra. This play is a rather crude reduction of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, and while saying little that is not implicit in the original play uses violence to emphasise and isolate the male chauvinism of Shakespeare's play, and also to impose a tragic interpretation on a comic masterpiece. It does, however, present many interesting chal-

37


lenges and opportunities to the actor, and a strong cast ensured that the production was a great success, with audiences occasionally large and always appreciative. In Hil.ary Term R. Mehrotra directed Peter Shaffer's play Shrivings at the Newman Rooms. This was in many respects an unhappy venture in view of the complications involved in producing a play in a hall of the size of the Newman Rooms. Lacking a large and experienced technical crew, the production muddled through to a chaotic first night on which the set was still being built only minutes before the play opened. In addition, there was the problem of having entered into financial association with another group of players. Although it was fraught with these and other problems, it is fair to say that Shrivings was an artistic success; the production also represented the realization of an ambitious project, and the enlargement of the Society's store of experience. The Society wishes to express thanks and good wishes to D. N. Holmes, J.P. C. Harding-Edgar and J. Nicholas (Wadham), who enhanced it with their enthusiasm and talent. R.A.H. THE ART COMMITTEE President: A. R. HARGREAVES Secretary: C. W. HIND THE YEAR 1975-76 has been very successful for the Committee, with a major addition to the Loan Collection and two exhibitions to its credit. The lithograph 'Le Paon' ('The Peacock') by Oskar Kokushka has been purchased and will, it is expected, prove popular. In Michaelmas the Committee put 'The Hidden Pictures' on show in the J.C.R. Party Room, these consisting of valuable paintings such as Stanley Spencer's 'Cookham Church' and L. S. Lowry's 'Houses in Cumberland', which are normally kept in the S.C.R. P. Gow organised an exhibition of Oriental Carpets and Rugs in Hilary Term, drawn from the stock of Christopher Legge, of Witney. Nearly all the exhibits were for sale, and there was a favourable response from collectors and dealers alike. Trinity Term was rounded off with an exhibition of Mr J. Hackney's paintings and prints of the Hall. C.W.H. TWO DINING SOCIETIES THE JOHN METHUEN SOCIETY DINNER was held at Ristorante Saraceno on 27 November 1975 . Twenty-one members of the Hall enjoyed an excellent meal followed by port in the President's room. The Anniversary Dinner of the Oronyatekha Society was held at the Cherwell Boathouse in Trinity Term. A magnificent meal was arranged by A . R . Hargreaves and enjoyed by twenty members of the Hall; it was followed by port in the President's room. J. W. and A.R.H. S.E.H. FOLK EVENING.S ON TWO OCCASIONS this year, during Michaelmas and Trinity Terms, folk music concerts have been held in the well of the Buttery. Emphasis was placed on the informal and the impromptu, this being necessary in face of an audience which demanded participation. Special tha.qks must be given to C. A . (Clive) Penwarden, and to the trio Fiddler's Guild, two of whom, along with Clive, appeared at the Hall Ball. It is fair to say that a good time was had, and will be had on future occasions, by all.

B. M. FORREST (Honorary Treasurer) I have examined the books and vouchers of the Association for the fifteen months ended 31 July 1975. In my opinion the above Balance Sheet and annexed Income and Expenditure Account give respectively a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Association at 31 July 1975, and of the excess of Income over Expenditure for the fifteen months ended on that date. JOHN R. PAUL (Honorary Auditor) 27 August 1975
