SPORT OF THE TWENTY-NINTH ANNUAL MEETING OF SENIOR MEMItER S HE meeting was held in the Mordan Hall on Saturday, 19 June 1954.

A. Twenty-three Senior Members were present. The Chairman spoke of the death of Sir John Myres, a most distinguished Oxford Scholar and a staunch friend of the College. He served on the Council from 1924 to 1951 and, in particular, gave valuable help on the Research and Garden Committees. The appointment was announced of Miss Mahood as Professor of English in the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, and her consequent resignation of her Fellowship and Tutorship in English Literature. Her departure is a great loss to the College and she takes with her the good wishes of her colleagues and pupils for the pioneer work on which she is embarking. Miss Trickett, of Lady Margaret Hall and Lecturer in University College, Hull, has been appointed to the vacant Tutorship in English, and comes into residence in October.

Miss Sweeting has been appointed to a Tutorship in Geography and Miss Jacobs to an Assistant Tutorship in German, both having held College Lectureships in their respective subjects.

Honours recently awarded to two Fellows of the College were announced.

Dr. Joan Evans has been made Director of the Society of Antiquaries, the first woman to hold this post, and Dr. Honor Smith has been made May Reader in Medicine in the University. Post-graduate awards made by the University and the English-Speaking Union to Senior Members, and various College awards are recorded elsewhere in the Chronicle.

A munificent gift to the Endowment Fund of share certificates of the nominal value of L5,000 and the market value of ÂŁ12,000 has been made by a Senior Member. The Chairman ended her review of the events of the past year with a reference to the retirement of the College messenger after forty years of service. 'Fred' was originally engaged by the J.C.R., and was subsequently taken over by the College. He had a prodigious memory and rarely made a mistake in his deliveries. He had already passed the normal retiring age when a serious operation made him unable to continue his work. His was a familiar figure to many generations, and he will be greatly missed. Owing to a good recovery from his illness there is hope that he may be able to enjoy his leisure, which College and Old Age Pensions have made free from financial anxiety.

Miss Lemon was re-elected as Editor of the Chronicle.

The weather, almost for the first time during term, made tea in the garden possible and enjoyable.

SHERRY PARTY AT QUEEN ELIZABETH COLLEGE UROM the large and representative gathering which met at Queen Elizabeth

.11. -College on Friday, I October, it looks as though a sherry party is a form of reunion which commends itself to the Association. There were ninety-five acceptances from Senior Members whose dates of coming up to Oxford ranged from 1900 to 1949. The dining-hall of the College gave the guests 7

plenty of room to circulate, whilst the easy chairs and small tables ranged round the walls enabled groups of friends to talk, drink, and eat together in comfort. The catering was most efficiently carried out by the Staff of the College. Much of the success of the party was due to the kindness of Miss Sargeaunt ; she has asked us to come again, and doubtless her invitation will be accepted. C. M. A.

THE GAUDY, 1955 rrtHE St. Hugh's College Gaudy will be held from Friday, July, until J1 Monday, 4 July 1955. The Gaudy Dinner will take place on Saturday, July, at 7.3o p.m. Invitation cards are enclosed with the Chronicle.

THE PRINCIPAL'S EPORT ISS M. R. Trickett has been appointed Tutor in English Literature in succession to Miss Mahood who left England last autumn to take up her appointment as Professor of English at University College, Ibadan, Nigeria. Miss Trickett went up to Lady Margaret Hall in 1942 and obtained a First Class in the Final Honour School of English Language and Literature in 1945. Since 1946 she has been first Assistant Lecturer and afterwards Lecturer in English at University College, Hull. She was awarded a Commonwealth Fellowship in 1949 and spent a year at Yale University, U.S.A. There have been no other changes in the Senior Common Room. Miss Sweeting, Lecturer in Geography, has been appointed to a Tutorship and Miss Jacobs, Lecturer in German, to an Assistant Tutorship. Miss Sweeting has been awarded the Gill Memorial by the Royal Geographical Society for contributions to the physiography of limestone areas. The University has appointed Dr. Honor Smith, Research Fellow, to the May Readership in Medicine.

Bishop Hone, who has acted as honorary Chaplain to the College since 1946, resigned at the end of the academic year. His work has been greatly appreciated by members of the Senior and Junior Common Rooms alike. His place has been taken by Canon A. D. Gilbertson, C.B., O.B.E., formerly Chaplain General to the Fleet, whose daughter, Mrs. Ivy, is a graduate of the College.

Two former members of the Governing Body have died during the last year.

Sir John Myres, who died on 6 March 1954 at the age of 84, was first co-opted as a member of the Council in 1924 and continued to serve on it until 1951, when the constitution of the Council was changed by statute and membership was restricted to the Principal and Fellows. He joined the Council at a time of great difficulty for the College, and its rapid recovery and subsequent steady progress owe not a little to his wise counsel and his prestige in the University.

Sir John was very liberal of his time and served on several committees, notably the research and the gardens committees ; he was also a generous donor to the library, to which he gave many books especially on ancient history, archaeology, and geography. After 1945 he did not attend Council meetings but he continued to take an interest in its proceedings. By his death the College has lost a good friend and a wise counsellor. Mrs. Cutcliffe (E. M. 0. Farrow), who died on 12 December 1954, was Tutor in Natural Science from 1923 to 8

1930, and was elected to an Official Fellowship and became a member of the Council in 1929. After her marriage she resigned her Tutorship and Fellowship in 1930 on leaving Oxford.

There were 171 undergraduates (including 11 graduates of other universities) in residence during the academic year 1953-4. Of these 165 were reading for Honour Schools, 5 for research degrees, and 1 for a post-graduate diploma.

In addition there were 17 graduates reading for research degrees and diplomas.

The Schools results were slightly better than last year: 2 candidates were placed in the First Class, 38 in the Second Class, and 14 in the Third Class.

The larger Second Class is gratifying but the small number of Firsts is disappointing. The First Classes were obtained by Barbara Levick in Literae Humaniores and Barbara Davey in Mathematics. Jillian Beardwood and Margaret Rochat obtained First Classes in Mathematical Honour Moderations. Barbara Levick has been elected to the Thomas Whitcombe Greene Scholarship for 1954-6, and Jennifer West was awarded the Winter Williams Law Scholarship for Women. Travelling Scholarships of Lso each have been awarded to Eva Carabine and Patricia Crowsley by the Gladstone Trustees for travel in the coming Long Vacation. Enid Kennedy-Skipton and Tessa Solesby have obtained entry into the Administrative Class of the Home Civil Service.

The College was able to advertise for 1954-5 its two new post-graduate awards: the Rawnsley Studentship for Czech or Polish studies and the Yates Senior Scholarship in Theology. Of the three candidates who applied for the Rawnsley Studentship two were of Czech and one of Polish origin. B. Neeasova, who has been elected to the Studentship, is a Ph.D. of the Charles University, Prague. She left Czechoslovakia in 1952 and in the summer of 1953 the award of a vacation scholarship to Girton College, Cambridge, enabled her to come to England. After that she taught for a year at Drogheda Grammar School, Eire. She is now working on the writings of Karel Capek for the degree of B.Litt. C. E. Tristram, B.A. (Somerville College), who has been elected Yates Senior Scholar, obtained a Second Class in History in 1953;she will sit for the Final Honour School of Theology in June 1955. The University has informed the College that ÂŁ9,000 has been received from the residue of the Virtue-Tebbs estate for the endowment of the Rawnsley Studentship. This is considerably more than was anticipated when the regulations for the studentship were drawn up over a year ago, and it will be possible for the College to increase the value of the studentship from kzoo to 300 per annum from October 1955. Miss Nee'asova will continue to hold the studentship for a second year. The Elizabeth Wordsworth Studentship, the Mary Gray Allen Senior Scholarship, and the Yates Senior Scholarship have all been advertised for award for 1955-6. Owing to an increase in the income of the Research Studentship Fund it will be possible to increase the value of the Elizabeth Wordsworth Studentship to ÂŁ350 per annum.

The Sherry Party for members of the Association which took place on October 1954 at Queen Elizabeth College, Campden Hill, was a great success.

Nearly one hundred members attended. As was to be expected, most of those attending lived in or near London but they were drawn from many different generations of students. Our thanks are due to the Principal and staff of Queen Elizabeth College for the excellence of the arrangements. There will be the usual biennial College Gaudy from 1 to 4 July this year. In all probability 9

the next Gaudy will have to be postponed until 1958, as in 1957 the College hopes to be engaged in building extensions which will make the holding of a Gaudy in July of that year impracticable.

E. S. PROCTER February 1955

THE BUILDING FUND APPEAL

A

LL members of the Association of Senior Members should by now have received the Building Fund Appeal issued by the Governing Body of the College in February of this year. As the appeal had necessarily to be kept short, a more detailed account of the reasons which have led to it might be of interest. The College has undertaken no new building since 1936, when on the occasion of its fiftieth anniversary the extension of the Mary Gray Allen Wing and the new Library were opened. At that time the number of undergraduates (including graduates of other universities) who might be in residence in St. Hugh's was limited by University Statute to 16o. The number actually admitted under the College's own by-laws was 150. With the completion of the Mary Gray Allen Wing all undergraduates could be accommodated in the College or in the College houses, and the intention then was that any further instalment of building should take the place of some or all of the houses. Fees were then ÂŁ150 per annum and, although the income from fees fell short of expenses, income from all sources: fees, conference charges, income from endowments, and a grant from the Government (41,000 a year for ten years from 1927 to 1936, thereafter decreasing by ÂŁ200 annually until it ceased in 1941) covered all expenses and left a working margin, even after provision had been made for the repayment of the loan which had been raised to finance the last instalment of building. The requisitioning of the College buildings during the war adversely affected its finance but the last instalment of the loan was paid off in 1948.

Since the war the situation has radically altered. The need now is for additional accommodation for increased numbers rather than for new buildings as a substitute for the house system. What appeared to be a priority in 1936 is now a matter for the more or less distant future. Although fees have been raised three times since the war and are now 4255 per annum, costs have increased far more steeply, and the gap between undergraduates' fees and normal expenses has widened. The College has received some very generous benefactions and gifts since the war, so that income from endowments has increased and indeed without this increase the financial difficulties would be much greater than they are. Conference charges have been increased but the margin of profit on them is less. More Colleges and other institutions now cater for conferences and on the whole they are smaller and meet for shorter periods than they did. It is unlikely that any increased income can be obtained from this source; indeed income from conferences may well decrease in the future. The University has increased the quota of women undergraduates and St. Hugh's is now allowed 200, exclusive of graduates of other universities working for research degrees. It cannot, however, make full use of this concession as its available accommodation remains much what it was before the war.

Before the first half of the Mary Gray Allen Wing was built in 1927 the whole of the second year was put out into lodgings but this way of increasing accommodation is not now practicable. The regulations governing authorized lodgI0

ings for women undergraduates laid down by the University are exacting.

The conversion of large houses into flats, the shortage of domestic service, and changes in social habits mean that suitable lodgings are difficult to find, especially in North Oxford. Further the University is anxious that the number of women undergraduates in lodgings should not be increased. The Delegacy of Lodgings has made a number of concessions which cover graduates of other universities and undergraduates over 23 years of age or in their fourth year, and, by putting all who fall into these categories out into lodgings, it has been possible to raise the number of undergraduates from 15o to 170. Even this is not an economic figure and an increase above this number is very necessary.

Income from all sources barely covers normal expenditure; there is scarcely any balance from which to meet exceptional charges or to build up reserves.

A quite small increase in numbers would add appreciably to the margin of income over current expenditure but if, in order to build, the College were to meet the whole cost from loans, loan charges would absorb this balance for many years to come. It is for this reason that the College is appealing to its Senior Members to help to raise some of the zo,000 necessary.

As well as financial reasons there are also educational reasons for increasing numbers. The institution of free Grammar School education and the greatly increased number of State Scholarships and Local Educational Authorities' awards have widened the field from which we draw our undergraduates. On an average we admit one out of every five of the candidates who take our entrance examination, and there are always some candidates on the waiting list who eventually go to other universities, but whom we would be glad to admit were it possible to do so. In the last year before the war the maximum number of women undergraduates allowed was 840, while the number of men undergraduates, for whom there was and is no statutory limitation, was about 4,000. Thus one in every five undergraduates was a woman. Now the number of men is just under 6,000 while the quota for women is 1,020, and the permitted proportion of women has sunk to one in seven. In these circumstances it is regrettable that St. Hugh's is not yet able to take the full quota allowed it because of lack of accommodation. The increased numbers that we have been able to admit are drawn, for reasons explained above, chiefly from graduates of other universities or those of mature age, not from candidates direct from the schools. While the maturer students have much to give to the College and an increase in their numbers has been welcomed, it is in the ordinary undergraduates that an increase is particularly required. It is also educationally valuable to have candidates for such subjects as Jurisprudence, Theology, and Music—even a small increase in numbers would give greater elasticity in this respect.

It is not only that the number of study-bedrooms is insufficient. The main building, which was erected when the College was moved to its present site in 1916, was designed for about seventy undergraduates. For such a number it was well designed but, with the rapid expansion which took place after the First World War, it soon became outgrown, and the kitchens, dining-hall, and library all became too small. In 1927 a new Junior Common Room was provided in the Gray Allen Wing and part of the old one became an annex to the hall. The kitchens also were enlarged at the same time and in 1936 the new Library was built to take the place of the Mordan Library (now the Mordan Hall). Even with the annex, the hall can only hold 152 undergraduates. About 40 undergraduates have breakfast and tea in the houses and there are always

two services for dinner, but at lunchtime the hall is uncomfortably crowded and numbers can hardly be raised above 170 without first providing more dining-hall accommodation. As it is, it is not possible for all the members of the Senior and Junior Common Rooms to dine together on such occasions as St. Hugh's Day, and those senior members who attend Gaudies know how crowded the hall is for the Gaudy Dinner.

The actual extensions which the College plans to build shortly and for which it is now appealing for funds are modest. They comprise extensions to both wings of the building put up in 1916. The wings will be lengthened southward to about the line of the present wall of the terrace. The extension to the dining-hall should give room for another forty-five to fifty undergraduates.

Some changes will also be made in the dais so as to allow for a longer High Table and much needed additional seats for members of the Senior Common Room. The extension to the west wing will provide twelve new rooms for undergraduates—four on each of the three floors. These twelve rooms will be available for undergraduates coming direct from school, and it will be possible to admit an average of fifty-four candidates each year, instead of fifty as at present, on the results of the entrance examination. Mr. Lionel Brett has been appointed architect and plans are now under consideration. As this is a case of extending existing buildings there is no scope for changes in style and materials. The lengthened wings should improve the proportions of this part of the building and, when once the materials have weathered, the general appearance will not be greatly different from what it is at present. It is hoped to carry out the work in 1957. E. S. P.

ZOUTIS-CALLERGIS (MRS.), C., B.A., Athens University.

THE JUNIOR COMMON ROOM the present one knows HE of a J.C.R. is necessarily nothing of the time when dramatics and debating and so on were organized T on a College scale. Now although the wide range of our activities is shown by memory

short:

the variety of University Societies to which we contribute committee members and officers and even Presidents (Anne Morris has been President of both Chung Hua and the Plotinus Society) and concerts and plays to which we 16

contribute performers, a list of purely J.C.R. activities gives no evidence of it. This shift of emphasis from College to University has been mentioned in several J.C.R. reports of the last few years, and one is inclined perhaps vaguely to deplore such changes when they run against tradition and are drifts rather than sterling innovations; but perhaps unreasonably. For the organization of clubs and societies in the University by no means implies that we are given on a plate what our predecessors used to cook for themselves, and in general College loyalty seems to overcome most of the obvious dangers of preoccupation with outside events; and in a different way, surely College life is as satisfying a microcosm as it ever was. And there seems this year to have been a very quiet return to small-scale College activities, though these have suffered through their willingness to remain obscure. A small Madrigal Group was formed last term; this term the Chess Club has been actively trying to revive itself and has been much encouraged by two gifts from people outside College. The City Chess Club kindly gave us a set of boards, and we received from Mrs. Pugh, of Edgbaston, Birmingham, a magnificent silver cup for t tournament is being played which there is to be annual competition. The firs out now. The Picture Committee formed two years ago has become an annually elected body, and this year its policy has been to see many works by young artists, especially students, and to keep up by loans and approvals a constant exhibition of these and a few pictures by more established artists in the J.C.R. We have also enjoyed having two sets of pictures from a Picture Lending Library. We have seen much, but bought little; the comparatively small picture we are haggling for at the moment will leave next year's committee free either to buy one big expensive picture from the sum voted last year by the J.C.R., or to continue the same policy of collecting a number of smaller paintings by less well known artists. Certainly the J.C.R. looks very well with a number of pictures. We are very grateful indeed to Miss Margaret Bone for her gift of a large landscape by Mr. Derek Clarke which hangs very effectively on the wall to the right of the fireplace.

University performances absorb most of our dramatic and musical talent.

But the Chapel Choir is still keen and sang beautifully at last term's Carol Service. At the end of the term we also had a very successful informal meeting for carol singing in the Mordan Hall. Now that St. Hugh's Night is celebrated with a Dinner which is followed by a most welcome opportunity to meet the members of the S.C.R. over coffee in the J.C.R., there is no call for an entertainment by the J.C.R. This made last term's Freshers' Entertainment doubly attractive by its uniqueness. They gave a very enterprising performance of Mozart's `Bastien et Bastienne', which seemed to show that as a year they have a lot of talent. We hope that when 'Prelims' are over they will be encouraged to use it by the plans now being vaguely discussed for ways we can help the new Building Fund.

Lady David Cecil opened last term's St. Margaret's House Sale, which was very successful and enjoyable. The hard work done by Miss Busbridge and her helpers was much appreciated.

We held dances in both the Trinity and Michaelmas Terms. For the former the garden was floodlit, and for the latter we made the innovation of having an undergraduate band which made it a very lively affair. It was a pity that they did not attract more support, for the organizers could not risk any lavish expenditure. But both were immensely enjoyable.

17

A few years ago Miss Colman wrote in her J.C.R. report of our preoccupation with creature comforts. This spirit has to some extent descended to our own contemporaries: J.C.R. meetings have been taken up with motions about purchases of new apparatus for our comfort and enjoyment. But here, too, there seem to be signs of a slight reaction. This term schemes for electric toasters and bagatelle and dart boards were easily outvoted; now that the occupants of the Gray Allen Wing enjoy the major luxury of Dunlopillo divans they at least can afford to be circumspect about proposals to buy more expensive things than the pinking shears, paper punch, and stapling machine which were our last purchases. But the main factor in this change of heart is the low level of J.C.R. funds : we have even voted to increase the subscription by five shillings this term to help pay for next term's punts : though we hope that this increase will be unique and expect that our financial position will soon again be secure; the depletion is due to the money which has been set aside for the purchase of pictures, and to the great number of useful articles the J.C.R. has been buying itself in the last few years.

Last summer we were very sorry indeed to lose Bishop Hone as our Chaplain.

His Study Groups were always especially appreciated. We welcome Canon Gilbertson as his successor. We shall enjoy having him with us.

We congratulate Barbara Davey and Barbara Levick on their Firsts in the Final Honour Schools of Mathematics and Literae Humaniores, and Gillian Beardwood and Margaret Rochat on their Firsts in Mathematical Honour Moderations.

As years go, this has been a quiet one for J.C.R. activities: nice and not notorious.

GAMES REPORT, x954-5 T. HUGH'S once again had more than its fair share of members in University teams in 1954 and in the Hilary Term of 1955.

At the moment it appears to specialize in the production of Lacrosse and Squash players. Dallas Fawdry and Veronica Chevallier, who both played in the previous year's University team, were captain and secretary of Lacrosse in 1954. Blues were gained in this year by Ann Hawker and Eileen Powell.

In 1955 St. Hugh's supplied nearly half the team which at last defeated Cambridge : Dallas Fawdry, Ann Hawker, and Eileen Powell were joined by Susan Burdett and Edison de Courcy-Ireland, who are to be secretary and treasurer next year.

St. Hugh's has long been the stronghold of Squash, maintaining the centre of a keen interest in this game, and providing most of the University team in 1954 and 1955. Jennifer Lucas and Frances Rainforth were joint captains, and Judy Anderson was secretary in 1954. In 1955 Judy Anderson captained the team, and Elizabeth Shackle played number two; but Susan Colthurst, the secretary, was unfortunately unable to play owing to illness.

Although there were not many Hockey blues from St. Hugh's, there was always someone on the committee. Eileen Bowyer, who gained her blue in 1953, was secretary in 1954, and captain in 1955. Marianne Cope played these last two years, and Brigid Hamilton, who gained her blue in 1955, is to carry on the tradition next year, when she will be treasurer.

S

18

Rosemary Francis was our sole representative in the University Netball team in 1954, but as secretary this year she was joined by Margaret Hancox and Susan Outhwaite.

In the summer Vivienne Puckridge again represented St. Hugh's in the University Tennis team, of which she was secretary, and won all her matches.

For the first time since before the war the colleges competed for the Tennis cup, which was won by St. Anne's, who beat St. Hugh's by one set in the final.

The St. Hugh's six were : Ann Leighton, Dallas Fawdry, Sheila Penney (captain), Meriel Lewis, Rosemary Francis, and Tessa Willan. Now that tennis cuppers have been revived it is hoped that they will continue to be played, especially as they were so much enjoyed last summer.

Leonora Burton was secretary and treasurer of University Cricket, and Marianne Cope and Dallas Fawdry also again played in the University match.

Ann Hawker gained her blue, and is to be secretary this year.

Anthea Page is the new secretary of the Boat Club, which is now in desperate straits owing to the loss of the boat shortly before the race against Cambridge.

The club is now unable to practise, and requires £50 more to the £120 needed to buy a new boat. Any contributions will be most gratefully received.

ELIZABETH MONICA OPENSHAW CUTCLIFFE (née FARROW)

M

ONICA FARROW was born on 23 August 1899, the daughter of the Rev. J. W. Farrow. She was educated at the Oxford High School and came up to St. Hugh's College with a scholarship in October 1918. She read for the Final Honour School of Natural Science (Chemistry) and obtained a 19

Second Class in Chemistry Part II in June 1922. In 5923 she was appointed Tutor in Natural Science at St. Hugh's and Departmental Lecturer and Demonstrator in the Department of Chemistry; two years later she was made a Senior Departmental Demonstrator. In 1929 she was appointed University Demonstrator in Chemistry and elected by the College to an Official Fellowship. She married Mr. E. F. Cutcliffe on 8 April 193o and resigned her College and University appointments from the end of the academic year.

After her marriage Monica Cutcliffe was not often in Oxford but another period of close connexion with the College began in 1949, when her daughter Leslie came up to St. Hugh's as an exhibitioner and read Chemistry in the Final Honour School of Natural Science. Mother and daughter together attended the Gaudy in July 1953. Monica. Cutcliffe died on 12 December 1954 after a long illness borne with great patience and courage. Those members of the Association who were with her at St. Hugh's College, either in the Junior or the Senior Common Room, will remember her charm, her gaiety, and her unfailing cheerfulness.

JEAN MARGARET TELFER

M

HE death of Jean Telfer, drowned while bathing in Cornwall on 59 July 5954, cut short an academic career which was full of promise; it is a cause of much grief to her friends and to a large circle of acquaintances in England and abroad. As an Exhibitioner, from 1943 to 1946, she was necessarily best known to a small group of intimates, but she was able to spend her first year of postgraduate research under more normal conditions, so that she became recognized as a scholar who combined intensive study in her selected subject with a vivid interest in many artistic and social aspects of post-war life. She was appointed to a Lecturership in the Department of French in Durham in 1947 and later held also a Tutorship at St. Mary's College. She made her mark as an inspiring and able teacher, and as an organizer of staff activities; she was one of the founders of the staff Dramatic Society and she was Secretary of the Durham branch of the A.U.T. Her thesis on the episodic poems in Old French of the Tristan legend led to other related investigations. She published two articles, 'La Folie Tristan' in French Studies, and 'Evolution of a Mediaeval Theme' in the Durham University Journal. An edition of the Donnei des Amants was in progress, and a completed part of this work will be published in article form. She had also started work on a study of the courtly vocabulary of Arthurian romance in French and German, and the card index prepared for this has been placed in the Centre de Documentation Arthurienne at the Sorbonne.

Jean Telfer came from a very happy home circle and this contributed to the abundant energy and zest which she brought to a very full enjoyment of her life : our deep sympathy Will go out to her parents who have lost an only child.

Jean Telfer had a distinctive personality and many talents; she appreciated the stimulus of gatherings of her fellow workers, whether at the yearly meetings of University teachers or of the Arthurian Congress. In spite of sometimes heavy duties (at one time she took extra duties at Newcastle) she found time to explore new avenues of academic study and to engage in original writing. She had published a poem and a short story and was planning a novel. An article on Oscar Wilde, which may still be published, represents another interest.

20

Through the generosity of Jean Telfer's parents, who have implemented a wish she had expressed on some occasion, her books have been presented to the College library. The collection includes valuable additions in the branch of medieval literature to which she had devoted herself, and they will remain as a memorial to her interests and an encouragement to the pursuit of studies for which she greatly cared and in which she had found much inspiration.

JANE ELIZABETH DAWSON HE death of Betsy Dawson, who was killed in a motor accident at Amman,

Transjordan, on 7 November, leaves her many friends with a great sense of loss. She combined humour and kindliness with great integrity and courage, and even when she came up to St. Hugh's at the age of seventeen, showed a most balanced sense of values. She had widely varied gifts and interests, many of which were inherited, together with his charm, from her father. A lover of country life, and in particular of the moors around her beautiful Yorkshire home, she painted china, worked on The Times' Educational Supplement, and later devoted her abundant energy to social work in Wandsworth. She travelled widely, and at one time did archaeological work in Greece.

Betsy accomplished much that many of us aspire to do and, lacking her vitality and determination, seldom achieve. Although she was only twentynine when she died, her life was full and rich, and there are many who remember her with gratitude.
