PRINCIPAL'S REPORT HE news of Miss Gwyer's death had just been received when I was 1 writing last year's report. A memorial service was held for her on 16 March 1974 in the College Chapel, which was crowded with past and present members and many friends from Oxford and elsewhere. Miss Francis's witty and affectionate address was printed in the 1973-74 issue. This year also Dr. Seaton died; we lost in her a distinguished and familiar figure who, like Miss Gwyer, seemed to epitomize so much of the college's history and ideals. A memorial service was held for her in the chapel on 5 October.

The Gaudy of 1974 was dominated by the Jubilee year—Miss Gwyer's year especially, who came up to college in 1924. They animated the whole occasion with their high spirits and vitality and helped to make it exceptionally lively and delightful. The speakers at the Gaudy dinner were Margaret Potter, the novelist and author of children's books, and Margaret Laing the biographer, representing the college's strong literary tradition.

We welcome Mrs. Ann Wordsworth to a full lecturership in English, and Mrs. McMorran, Dr. Adams, and Mr. McNamara to retaining-fee lecturerships in French, Theology, and Mathematics. Mr. Femia resigned his lecturership in Politics this year to take up a full-time post at Manchester University. Mrs. Sourvinou-Inwood, Elizabeth Wordsworth Research Fellow, was appointed Retaining-Fee Lecturer in Classical Archaeology, beginning October 1975.

The Rhodes Visiting Senior Fellowship was awarded to Miss J. Kathirithamby (Ph.D., D.I.C. Imperial College, London; B.Sc. Madras), who took up her appointment in January 1975 to work in the Department of Zoology.

A new travelling studentship in Italian Studies for old students of the college, financed from the Martinengo Cesaresco Fund, was awarded to Miss E. Mackinlay. The Catherine Fulford Senior Scholarship for 1974/5 was awarded to Miss Susan Greenfield, B.A. St. Hilda's, who is working in the Department of Pharmacology.

Mrs. Huddlestone, of Pate's Grammar School, Cheltenham, Schoolmistress Student for 1974, was in residence in Trinity Term, working on a `Geography of Childhood'—memoirs of her youth and upbringing in a remote Yorkshire village.

Among many graduates and undergraduates from overseas this year, we are pleased to have acquired under a new University Scheme a Chinese Probationary Administrator, Miss Jeannie Lo from Hong Kong.

Mr. J. Brooke was appointed Head Gardener in Hilary Term 1974; we hope that he will be with us for a long time.

In the course of the year the following undergraduates were elected to Scholarships and Exhibitions in recognition of the distinction of their work: in Hilary Term 1974, J. Hodgkins, znd year Experimental Psychology, Old Students Scholarship; S. E. Bain, 3rd year Physics, Nuffield Scholarship; in Trinity Term 1974, N. K. Mackie, znd year Lit. Hum., Smith Rippon Scholarship; in Michaelmas Term 1974, M. Bittner, znd year Chemistry, Smith Rippon Scholarship; S. M. Christensen, and year Geography, Old Students Exhibition; J. H. Heap, and year Mathematics and Philosophy, Old Students Exhibition; C. St. J. Marriott, 3rd year English, Hodgson Exhibition; E. G. Sharp, 2nd year Geography, Old Students Exhibition; T. E. Maclver, 2nd year History, Old Students Exhibition.

In Michaelmas Term 1974 the number of undergraduates in residence reading for a first degree was 316. Of these 30o were undergraduates coming straight from school, 8 were qualified for senior status, and 8 were classified as mature students. 6z candidates were in residence reading for higher degrees, of whom 33 were Oxford graduates and 29 graduates of other universities.

Of these, 24 are candidates for a B.Litt., 4 for a B.Phil., 7 for a B.M., 4 for an M.Sc., 15 for a D.Phil., and 3 for Chemistry Part II and 5 for Biochemistry Part II. Four graduates of other universities are taking diplomas; 6 graduates of the College and 6 of other universities are taking the Certificate of Education.

1974 was outstanding academically for the college's examination results.

In the Final Honours Schools 10 candidates were placed in the First Class: in English, D. K. Baggaley, M. A. Caird (now Mrs. Laing), E. J. Cook; in History, J. Ridley, L. Wright; in Lit. Hum. R. F. Chadwick; in Mathematics, S. M. Rees; in Modern Languages, L. Sharpe; in Oriental Studies, C. P. Selfe; in Physics, S. E. Bain. Eighty-two candidates were placed in the Second Class and 17 in the Third.

The College is delighted with the gift of a silver sauce-boat and tray from the Old Students of 1924 which was presented at the Gaudy and is now in use on High Table, and Miss Gwyer's desk and Miss Roger's work-table from Miss Gwyer's estate. We also welcome Dr. Seaton's estate, which includes a generous provision for the endowment of a Schoolmistress Studentship.

THE JUNIOR COMMON ROOM, 1974 TT is the end of another year for yet another J.C.R. Committee. Since the

1 Common Room continues to be as active and as diverse as its members, organization is not easy, but I hope we have satisfied all of the J.C.R. at least some of the time this year.

16

Social events have focused on a garden party held in Trinity Term. This went extremely well and made k90 which was given to two charities, the Oxford Cyrenians and the Oxford Mentally Handicapped Society. Another social project, which has been approved in principle, is the extension of J.C.R. space into the basement of the Mary Gray Allen building and the possible removal of the J.C.R. bar to this cellar area.

We have held two successful art exhibitions in the J.C.R. There were sherry parties at the Openings with folk guitar music in the background. In music and drama too St. Hugh's has been very active. Members have taken part in some of Oxford's best productions, like the play They shoot horses, don't they? in Trinity College grounds. The annual Scouts' Christmas Party, with mince pies, a visiting folk-guitarist, Father Christmas, and carol singing provided a lot of fun.

An Open Day for those interested in applying for entrance to the University was held in Trinity Term, to give people a chance to meet and talk to students already up. Despite the mammoth organizational task involved (in co-ordinating four women's colleges for this), the need for such an occasion for realistic assessment was very apparent in the response.

St. Hugh's, along with many other colleges, disaffiliated itself from O.U.S.U. (Oxford University Student Union) at an emergency J.C.R. meeting (called over the Open Meeting—Council clash) early in Hilary Term, and remained disaffiliated until the Council motion overruling Open Meeting decisions was withdrawn. We automatically returned to O.U.S.U. at the start of the Michaelmas Term. On the C.S.U. (Central Student Union) front there have been several meetings in College, organized by the Committee and the Left Caucus, and the J.C.R. has recently pledged financial support of up to Sop per head per term for interim C.S.U. facilities. The Governing Body was also willing to contribute something towards modest interim facilities of this .sort.

Fees have again been the major domestic issue. The original proposals of the Finance Committee for a zo per cent increase in maintenance fees (to k109per term) and an increase in amenities charge to ÂŁ17 per term were effectively negotiated to an increase of just above II per cent (the N.U.S. recommended increase for full board and lodging), a final compromise of ÂŁ102.50 per 'term.

A campaign for the abolition of restrictions on visiting hours was conducted last term, only to be turned down by the Governing Body. However, a very happy compromise was reached this term with the granting of extended visiting hours from 9 a.m. till z a.m. every day. A J.C.R. booklet written by the Committee was distributed to Freshers at the start of the term and a programme was organized to help them settle in. J.C.R. relations with the S.C.R. and the M.C.R. have been, on the whole, good. We have aimed at increasing our competence and organization so as to make discussion on equal terms a viable proposition. In conclusion I apologize for omissions, and trust this report gives an over-all picture of the J.C.R. happenings in 1974. It has been, I think, a good and happy year.

GWYNETH WILLIAMS (President) Games Report. In the year's sporting activities St. Hugh's has been the outstanding women's college. The Rowing Club takes pride of place, for St. Hugh's entered two VIIIs in Eights' Week. The Second VIII failed to

7

1

qualify, but the First VIII qualified officially in the 'getting on' races. This was a record achievement as, although there have been all-female crews in Eights' Week before, none had 'got on' officially. Furthermore, this was the first time that a women's crew was not bumped on all four days, for the St. Hugh's VIII twice rowed over, to the delight of their supporters. The crew was: Julia Winterbotham (stroke), Anne Bell, Jane Maggs, Sheena Lauckner, Moira Murtagh, Jane Carroll, Beverley Mather, Jennifer Greenwood (bow), and Margaret Lee (cox). The St. Hugh's Rowing Blues for the 1975 Boat Race will be Jane Maggs, Beverley Mather, and Sheena Lauckner (cox), while Anne Bell, Elizabeth Sharp, Moira Murtagh, and Clare Slater will row against Cambridge in the Second VIII. On the hockey pitch St. Hugh's were equally successful, winning the `Cuppers' tournament without conceding a goal, despite the disadvantage of playing without a goalkeeper. The winning team was Helen Ousbey, Claire Wickham, Jennifer Stedham, Mary Underhill, Gwendolin Lord, Anne Palin, Elizabeth Trotman, Mary Schove, Linda Nixon, and Beverley Mather.

Claire Wickham is Captain of the University Hockey Team, and Helen Bayley, Helen Priday, Jennifer Stedham, and Mary Underhill play for the first team, while Gwendolin Lord captains the second team.

In other sports St. Hugh's also provides many of the officials and 'Blues' : Sally Jones and Erica Ison are netball Blues, Caroline Murdoch is a lacrosse Blue, and Stella Smyth is the Riding Club President. Helen Bayley is a squash Blue, and Barbara Taylor a tennis Blue, while Christine Thomas is Secretary of both the Tennis Club and the Table-Tennis Club, as well as playing for the first team in each sport. There is also a College tennis team which played ten matches with various men's colleges. Mary Underhill is Badminton Captain, Jane Carroll the Secretary, and Pamela Smith is also a Badminton Blue. Gwendolin Lord was the University Cricket Captain, Claire Wickham the Secretary, and Charlotte Moss played in the Varsity Match too.

It only remains to mention the Rugby match against St. Edmund Hall, in which St. Hugh's outplayed and outwitted their heavier opponents— although, it must be admitted, they had a little help from the referee!

CLAIRE WICKHAM

THE MIDDLE COMMON ROOM LOWLY but surely graduate life in Oxford is organizing itself on a broader, University-based footing. This last year has seen the appearance of a graduate magazine, Third Estate, and the first ever graduate party, held in Rhodes House in December. Both these events were organized by the Conference of M.C.R. Presidents and Sub-Faculty Representatives, whose aim is to provide more opportunities, both in print and in person, for the members of college M.C.R.s to meet each other.

At the same time St. Hugh's M.C.R. has been busy on its own account.

This year there are about eighty members from places as far apart as Hong Kong and San Francisco, and studying a range of subjects which include Akkadian and the Victorian Gothic Horror Novel!

Trinity Term was memorable for two pleasant events which took place under very warm summer skies—a buffet-supper held especially for the M.C.R. by the members of Queen Elizabeth House in their garden, and our

S

own Champagne and Strawberries party, held in the garden of 12 Canterbury Road on what must have been the hottest day of the decade. A visit was also made to Stratford to see a performance of Cymbeline, and much use was made of the M.C.R. punt during the term.

Michaelmas Term began with a party at Brasenose for the new members of both common rooms, which was a great success. During the term the M.C.R. was invited to parties at Wadham, Merton, Christ Church, and Oriel, and another trip to Stratford was made, this time to a performance of Macbeth.

At the end of term St. Hugh's M.C.R. gave a Wine and Cheese party in the Mordan Hall for the members of Queen Elizabeth House which was enjoyed by everyone, not least for the Christmas decorations and the blazing log fire provided!

At the beginning of this Hilary Term M.C.R. members were entertained at a party given by Oriel M.C.R. to inaugurate a 'twinning' of the common rooms, similar to the arrangement that we have already with Brasenose.

In all it has been a busy, active and, I hope, an enjoyable year, and I cannot finish without thanking all those people who helped to make it so. Thanks go to Mrs. Wood who, as Tutor for Graduates, has done much to help the smooth running of the affairs of the common room, and special thanks go to Chef for his wonderful provisions for both M.C.R. parties and Guest Nights which are so well appreciated.

ANNUAL MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATION OF SENIOR MEMBERS

T

HE forty-ninth Annual Meeting of the Association of Senior Members was held in the Mordan Hall on Saturday, 6 July 1974, at 3 p.m., the President, Miss Cowderoy, in the chair. One hundred and thirty-eight members were present.

The President called on the meeting to stand in memory of those members who had died during the year. Also mentioned was Sir Douglas Veale (Registrar of the University, 193o-58) who had been a good friend of St. Hugh's and a member of the College Council for twenty-one years.

The Minutes of 3o June 1973 were accepted and signed, and there was no business arising from the minutes.

The President's Report. The President specially welcomed Miss Trickett, this being the first occasion on which she was present as Principal.

The main event since the last meeting had been the Dinner given by the Association at the Rembrandt Hotel in London for Dame Kathleen Kenyon.

This had proved to be a very enjoyable occasion and the guest list was representative of most years.

The President said how sadly the Association had mourned Miss Gwyer.

A Memorial Service had been held in the College Chapel on 16 March 1974 and the Secretary and Editor had represented the Association. The Secretary had also attended Dr. Seaton's funeral on 21 June. The date of the Memorial Service would be announced later. [For the Principal's speech given on this occasion, see Obituary. Ed.] The President wished to record her thanks to the Secretary for her support.

The Principal then made a short statement about the buildings, the Library, and the garden. The J.C.R. and the Governing Body had decided to rename the New Building, Kenyon New Building; the library shelf-space was running out and it might be necessary to have some sort of appeal. Dr. Seaton's collection of four hundred volumes including some rare editions had been left to the College. The gardener, Mr. Roger Phipps, had left and Mr. John Brooke from the City Parks Department had replaced him. The friends of two of the Principal's ex-pupils, Tessa Byrne and Jane O'Sullivan (nĂŠe Catton), both of whom died tragically in car accidents, had offered to give trees for the garden in their memory. For any members who were planning to make a gift to the College the Principal drew special attention to the new Garden Fund which had been launched with an anonymous donation of kz,000.

The College Report. The following are extracts from the account given by Miss Jacobs, the Governing Body Representative on the A.S.M. The College held an Open Weekend on 19-20 April, attended by fifty-nine headmistresses and headmasters, deputy heads and sixth-form teachers, to discuss the entrance examination as it is seen by the schools and by the College, and to discuss the science entry and other topics proposed by our guests, such as the possible new sixth-form examinations, combined courses at the University, and so on. This was a highly successful occasion, followed by another one organized by our undergraduates—an Open Day for schoolgirls on 4 May . . .

The Governing Body has recently made a decision which is designed to open up a special opportunity for its Senior Members. In 1931 the College 23

received a generous bequest from Countess Evelyn Martinengo-Cesaresco to promote the "study by members of the College of Italian and Italian literature or history". The Governing Body has now created a MartinengoCesaresco travelling Studentship in Italian Studies for which any Senior Member whose academic interests fall within the terms of reference may apply. The first is to be held at any time between I June 1975 and 3o September 1976, to further the study of Italian language or history. . . . `The College Chapel and its life is of great interest to many members, and you may be interested to hear that the new Principal has introduced a regular, fortnightly sermon at evensong, preaching herself on one occasion during each term. . . . Our First Year Organ Scholar, Katherine Ennis, has achieved the distinction of giving an organ recital in New College Chapel this term.

We are very pleased to report that, after his period as Acting Chaplain, the Revd. Ronald Lloyd has agreed to become full Chaplain. . . . `You may have seen in April the news of the extraordinary achievement of our honorary Fellow, Mrs. Helen Suzman, who was for thirteen years the solitary member of the Progressive Party in the House of Assembly in South Africa. As a result of the General Election there in April of this year, she is now joined by six other members. `A number of Fellows have been on leave this year. Miss Sweeting's pupils may like to know that she has been at Massey University, New Zealand, during Hilary and Trinity Terms. We have said farewell this term to Miss Rosemary Syfret who took up a Lecturership in English in St. Hugh's concurrently with her Honorary Research Fellowship at Somerville in 1967.

We are sorry to lose someone who brought to her teaching here such a wealth of experience from her distinguished and varied career. [For other resignations and new appointments see the Principal's Report. For news of Senior Members also mentioned by Miss Jacobs see "News and Appointments of Senior Members". Ed.] Finally, something which should please us is that the undergraduates want to live in the College in such numbers that for two years we have had to ask the J.C.R. to run a ballot to make up the list of those who have to live out. This does not necessarily mean that the small but important limitation on personal freedom is as easily accepted by undergraduates as are the amenities and beauties of the College. But there are many signs that the beauties of the College are appreciated by undergraduates, as they are indeed by our Senior Members.'

The President thanked Miss Jacobs for her report which she had compiled at what was already a very busy time of year.

Presentation to the College. Dr. Levick then presented to the College a drawing of Miss Gray on behalf of Miss Gray's former pupils. Dr. Levick said that the very long and distinguished list of subscribers attested Miss Gray's success as a tutor. The artist was Mr. Michael Noakes and the sittings had been arranged between those with members of the Royal Family and with the Principal of Somerville.

The Principal accepted the drawing on behalf of the College with great gratitude and delight.

Miss Gray said that she was particularly glad to have the list of names because of her pride in the distinction of her old pupils. Contrary to her expectations, the sittings for the drawing had not been an ordeal but had proved very enjoyable. The Association had already been exceedingly gener24

ous and she had used the earlier gift to refurnish her room in autumn colours and to buy a three-position chair and a radio.

Elections. There was one nomination for the office of President, Niss___ Margartt_ L. Marr, and one for the Editor of the College Chronicle, Dr. N. M.• Fleet.

I-Miss Cowderoy had therefore great pleasure in declaring them elected.

Mrs. Jeanette Cockshoot was re-elected Hon. Secretary.

For the three Committee vacancies there were four candidates: Mrs. Evelyn Margaret Moulton (1927), Mrs. Margaret Potter (1944), Dr. Sheila Bradbury (1951), and Miss Valerie Chancellor (1955). There would therefore be a ballot.

Dr. Helen Wallis proposed a vote of thanks to the retiring President, Editor, and Members of the Committee for giving their time and energy to the Association which was very grateful. She congratualted Miss Marr on succeeding to the Presidency. The President thanked Dr. Wallis on behalf of herself and the others.

A proposal from the Principal, seconded by Miss Bruton, that Miss Rosemary Syfret, M.A. (M.A. Cantab.), be made an associate member of the Association under section (viii) of the Constitution was carried unanimously.

Mrs. Thornton, one of the retiring Committee Members, suggested that the Association might consider the possibility of having a Chairman of Committee and a President of the Association. At present there was a chairman whose role was part executive and part advisory. The question was raised whether there ought to be a division of function in case one had all the work and one all the fun. It was agreed that members should have time to think about it, especially as it would involve a change in the Constitution. Miss Percival proposed that the idea should be put forward in the Chronicle and put on next year's agenda. Dr. Busbridge added the amendment that it should be on the agenda for the Annual Meeting at the next Gaudy, 1976.

The amendment was carried and the meeting closed.

Note. Mrs. Margaret Potter, Dr. Sheila Bradbury, and Miss Valerie Chancellor were elected to the Committee.

GAUDY, 1974 AFTER a cold, wet week the sky cleared and the good weather which we

„n. have come to associate with the Gaudy set in. By dinner-time on Friday many Senior Members had arrived and news and greetings were being exchanged. The meeting of the Association was held in the Mordan Hall on Saturday afternoon and was well attended. It will be reported elsewhere.

Tea was served in the garden. This is always a pleasant and informal occasion when it is possible to wander from group to group and see friends, some of them older ones who do not come to the dinner. At the Sherry Party before dinner Miss Kathleen Hobbs, on behalf of the students who matriculated fifty years ago, presented to the Principal a silver sauce-boat and tray for use at the High Table. This was much admired and was used at the dinner which followed. The dinner itself was excellent and there was the usual roar of animated conversation. After the toast to the Queen Mrs. Margaret Potter proposed the health of the Association. In a lively and witty speech she described her work as a novelist and then, in a more serious vein, spoke of the importance of women's education, the role of the parents, and the balance 25

for life which the years at Oxford offer. The President replied, thanking the College for the hospitality at the Gaudy. In proposing the health of the College Miss Margaret Laing told of her work as a journalist abroad and gave some insight into the difficulties of writing biographies of living people.

The Principal replied on behalf of the College. In an elegant speech she described the Association as a living society with its troubles, its successes and, above all, its continuity. She paid generous tribute to Miss Gwyer, who was much in our thoughts this year. She said that perhaps no one else could have infused such harmony and stability into the College after the difficult period which preceded her appointment as Principal. She drew our attention to the silver jug—the gift of Miss Gwyer's first students—and the pleasure it would have afforded her. The Principal spoke of the progress of St. Hugh's, its standing as a place of learning and a happy community. After dinner, wine was served in the Mordan Hall. The Communion Service on Sunday morning was well attended and after breakfast people wandered about the garden or visited old friends or old haunts in Oxford. We were all pleased to have the opportunity of meeting the Principal for sherry in the S.C.R. before lunch. Everyone at the Gaudy would, I am sure, like to thank Miss Major and her helpers for all the thoughtful arrangements which made the weekend so comfortable and enjoyable. Nor do we fail to appreciate the kind welcome given by all members of the S.C.R., and to thank them for being so generous with their time when we know that they are particularly busy. After lunch people began to drift away feeling refreshed and happy at meeting old friends, and very proud and aware of the privilege of being members of the College.

MARY ETHEL SEATON

A

MEMORIAL Service for Miss Seaton was held on Saturday, 5 October 1974 in the College Chapel. The following Address was given by the Principal: 'We are here to commemorate today Mary Ethel Seaton, sometime Fellow and Tutor in English, Research Fellow and Honorary Fellow of this College, a distinguished scholar of wide repute in her subject and a woman who, though deliberately inconspicuous and even coolly reserved in her manner, yet exerted a warm and continuous influence on those she taught and worked with. `Ethel Seaton was Cambridge and proud of it. She was a graduate of Girton where she read English and French in the first part of the Tripos and Old English in the second. For five years, from 1911-1916, she was Resident Lecturer at Girton, and the last two years of the First World War she spent in the censorship office in London. In 192o she began her thesis for the London University M.A. on 'Literary Relations of England and Scandinavia in the seventeenth century', an improbable topic which was entirely typical of the unexpected quality of her mind. . . . The book—for the thesis was published by the Clarendon Press—exists as a wonderful collection of the scholarly, historical, and literary facts and feelings which had caught her quick curiosity and fired her imagination: Hamlet, descriptions of Northern winters, Wormius, ambassadors, scholars, cartographers, folk-lore, and fairy tale—the list of the contents is extraordinary. This work and her perceptive and original articles on Renaissance Poetry gained her the degree of D.Litt. of Oxford University. But her last work was as surprising and more audacious than her first—a study of Sir Richard Roos, 'a Lancastrian poet', whose life she unearthed with a marvellous detective tenacity, and to whom she attributed a whole range of fifteenth-century verse, including Chaucer's Romaunt of the Rose and a number of early Tudor lyrics commonly taken to be Wyatt's.

This fluttered the academic dovecotes when it appeared, and in her demure fashion Miss Seaton was very conscious of the challenge to critical orthodoxy in her theory of attribution by anagram, and not at all displeased by the subsequent debate in which literary scholars clashed with professional codebreakers. `At first sight Ethel Seaton did not suggest any such boldness or originality.

Her manner was unassuming though she could be as sharp verbally as she was intellectually. She exercised on awkward pupils a detached but genuine charm; she affected the dress of an earlier period, long-skirted, be-capped, and often carrying an umbrella and a capacious carpet-bag. In every way she seemed the cultivated and learned lady of the old school. But she was full of surprises. The first lecture I ever attended in Oxford was one she gave on the Elizabethan Lyric. She began with a careful bibliographical account enlivened by the little self-indulgence of writing on a blackboard, in that large and generous hand of hers, the lovely titles of the Tudor anthologies, the Gorgeous Gallery of Gallant inventions, The Paradise of Dainty Devices. Her pace then quickened as she moved on to the relation of music and poetry at 29

this period, and it seemed to her as, after a startled moment, it seemed to her audience perfectly natural that she should exemplify this by singing in a small, clear, soprano voice, unaccompanied but wholly unembarrassed, a stanza of `Greensleeves'. Few nowadays could match such assurance. Her complete confidence in the subject and everything relating to it meant that nothing she did seemed odd or alien or out of place. It was her total passionate absorption in literature, sustained without extravagance or any sense of its being extraordinary, that enabled her to think, act, and speak in ways which in others less self-contained or less self-assured might have seemed eccentric. `Under a carefully conventional manner there lurked in Ethel Seaton a determined, delighted intellectual adventurer, prepared to press her findings to their logical conclusions, and one not to be diverted by any external considerations from her real aims and her real preferences. It was literature to which she was devoted, and especially poetry. In her personal relations and as a tutor she was neither possessive nor perplexed nor anxious. She never over-taught; she was cool, firm, and shrewd in her judgement of her pupils' work. Yet she kept up throughout her long life with most of them and forgot none. She was exceptionally generous with her time, her knowledge, and her opinions; she had that sort of lively intellectual curiosity which never failed to respond to news of old pupils' works and lives, or to novel ideas as much as to old, forgotten works. Towards the end, when, with increasing frailty, she withdrew into herself from the business and concerns of everyday, she could still, in a moment, flash back into life at one mention of poetry, could quote, argue, and remember with intense pleasure the things she most treasured, even when she had forgotten everything else. Ethel Seaton filled the apparently narrow and sheltered limits of an academic life with a crowd of vivid incidents, ideas, pleasures, and adventures from the widest universe of all— that of great art. `I hope we shall think especially of this today at a time when such singleminded dedication is a neglected quality and its merits and rewards less and less understood. Concentrated devotion, passionate interest in her subject— with these Ethel Seaton infected others. Her delicacy of perception, her keenness, and her voracious appetite for learning and reading demonstrated fundamental truths about the nature of her subject. She was not one of those teachers who stand between the subject and the taught; she had the rare, detached capacity for conveying by her undiminished relish for literature its real power. This was a very pure quality in her character which survived all her other faculties. It never failed her: just as she never became bored with her subject, so she was never boring about it. It was, in words I can hear her now repeating, very clearly and precisely like small drops of crystal, 'Not harsh and crabbed as dull fools suppose, But musical as is Apollo's lute, And a perpetual feast of nectared sweets, Where no crude surfeit reigns'. `Ethel Seaton had many equally uncommon virtues though she was not ambitious to display them. She was strong-minded, self-disciplined, and zealous in what she believed to be right and just. But to those of us who were taught by her, the experience of an eager inquisitive mind, an instant responsiveness, an obstinate conviction of the importance and delight of reading and learning and talking, lurking behind that moderate, prudent, conventional surface, revealed at once the great qualities of academic devotion. We remember her as I believe she would wish to be remembered, both as an unique person and as a living justification of her profession. Her active life, and the long 30

period of her decline equally represented the wonderfully various, intense, and lively resources that a trained mind and a sure love of learning and art can provide. This, then, is an occasion for gratitude as well as for grief at an inevitable loss. She herself would have been the first to expect that, though decency should prevail in the ceremonies of commemoration, no one present would forget the deeper meaning behind them: that we celebrate our dead with a renewed confidence in what they stood for, and in the truths they represented and passed on to us. `Miss Seaton always assumed that her pupils and her colleagues, whatever their personal problems and difficulties, would go on inquiring and affirming.

She would have taken this for granted in a way that our own hesitant generation seems sometimes to have lost. And her life, as we recall it, should enable us to regain something of that quiet confidence in the truths of the mind and the imagination which animated it until the end.'

FLORENCE MARIA WYLD 71HE following letter from Captain R. H. C. Wyld, R.N. (ret.), was re1 ceived by the Editor of the Chronicle. 'I am sorry to tell you that my aunt, Miss Florence Maria Wyld, died on 14 September at the age of 96.

She was a member of St. Hugh's College in its early days [1898] and was always tremendously proud of her connection with it. She attended the Gaudies quite regularly for many years, and I know that on her final appearance [in 1966], when she was in her eighties, she was tremendously proud to be asked to speak at the Dinner. She had a varied and interesting life. She spent many years in India as Principal of Mahboobia School, Hyderabad, starting, I think, with five pupils. There were over a hundred when she left, and the school has, I believe, now achieved the status of a University College.

Some of her old girls have become political leaders later on in modern India.

For a while she was involved in political life and drove an ambulance in Portsmouth during the war. About five years ago she became totally blind, but, foreseeing this might happen, at the age of 90 taught herself to touchtype and, within a few months of her death, could write her own letters. unaided. She developed an incurable disease a few months before her death, but as long as she could write she made plans for those who would be left behind. She died displaying the same indomitable courage with which she faced the many difficulties that beset her life. `She was, I think, a very worthy daughter of your College.'

ELEANOR MCGREGOR

(nee

ROECHLING)

CORRESPONDENT in South Africa has sent us this notice taken from the Rustenburg Herald of Friday, 17 January 1975. It is given here in extract: 'Ella, as she was affectionately known to her family and friends, was born in England on 22 February 1891. In 1905 she won a scholarship to Roedean School, Brighton where, in her final year of study, she became head girl. A brilliant scholar, she won yet another bursary which took her to St. Hugh's College, Oxford [1910-13]. Here she gained her B.Sc. degree but, due to the fact that women were not fully recognized as students, she only had her degree conferred upon her twenty years later.

A

`Ella came out to South Africa in 1913 to teach science at Roedean School, Johannesburg. In 1915 she married Mr. Frank McGregor. After her marriage she was attached to the Department of Chemistry at the University of Witwatersrand. . . . In 1919 Ella came to live at Rainhill farm, Rustenburg, Transvaal, where Mrs. Rheinalt-Jones, the founder of the African Girl Wayfarers, persuaded her to join the movement in 1928. Entirely due to Mrs. McGregor's organization and immense effort this African Girl Guide Association went from strength to strength. She was the Divisional Superintendent of the Rustenburg district until 1973 and became one of its few life Vice-Presidents. . . . She was also instrumental in starting the Bafokeng Primary School in Phokeng. This is today the largest Black Primary School in our district. The McGregor creche, situated in Thlabane township, was Ella's very own "little baby". . . . Today it stands in Thlabane as a living monument in honour of a tenacious and brave Rustenburger. . . . Mrs. McGregor was a foundation member of the Rustenburg branch of the National Council of Women. She was president for four years. . . . In recognition of her services she was made an honorary life president. . . . Then there was the Kupugani Feeding scheme during the terrible bushveldt drought of the sixties. Here Ella was again the organizer. . . . Many a black child's life was saved by her personal sacrifice and the will to overcome adversity. . . . In her office was a small board with the following inscription: 'Don't tell them to do it: see that it is done.' This epitomizes Mrs. Eleanor McGregor's attitude to work and life in general. She saw to it herself. . .

MARY FRANCIS CONVERY (née HARDING)

M

ARY came up to St. Hugh's in 1936 to read Greats. She always had an irreverent affection for the ancients, though scholarship to her was not so much an end in itself as a means of escaping the duties of a parson's daughter to enjoy the freedom of life at Oxford, including a spell as cox of the women's eight.

After going down in 1940 she taught at Watford Grammar School and acquired a devoted following of Latin pupils, but also did Red Cross work and came to feel that nursing was her real vocation. In the middle of her training at Bart's she nearly died of rheumatoid arthritis, but made an almost complete recovery: after this it seemed best to avoid English winters for a while, so she went as a nurse to the Sudan. Here she spent ten very happy years, first in Khartoum, then as matron of the hospital in Malakal. The coming of independence brought a sad separation from the southern Sudanese and her numerous godchildren, christened Harding.

She and Norman Convery, whom she had married in Malakal—he was a pilot for the Sudan Airways—came back to live in New Milton. It was not easy for them to settle, but Mary soon found a congenial job as Sister Tutor at Lymington Hospital. Norman's sudden death in 197o was a tremendous blow to her, but she went on teaching and had again begun to live a full life, often visiting us in her new caravan-car and helping us with our weeds. For she was also a great gardener and tended plants as she tended people, always careful, self-effacing, but full of humour.

YVONNE LILIAN HARRISON ISS E. P. Twigg, B.Sc., Deputy Headmistress at the Fulham Gilliatt

School, has sent the following Obituary notice: 'The death of Miss Harrison on 31 December 1974 was particularly tragic as this was the day on which she was due to resign from the headship of Fulham Gilliatt School. `Miss Harrison began her teaching career at the Alice Ottley School, Worcester, in 1946 after taking her degree at Oxford [St. Hugh's 1941-4].

She rapidly showed her skill as a teacher and was an inspiration to both her pupils and her colleagues. Her decision to spend the next few years working in the business world—with the Encyclopaedia Britannica and the Nuffield Foundation—was lamented by her friends in education, but gave her an insight which was to prove invaluable in later years. `In January 1955 she joined the staff of Camden School as an Assistant Mistress, where she did outstanding work, not only as Head of English, but also in her careers' work and subsequently as Deputy Headmistress. `March 1969 saw the promotion of Miss Harrison to the Headship of Fulham County School (a selective girls' grammar school in the Borough of Hammersmith), where her qualities of leadership and her administrative ability were soon channelled into the reorganization of Fulham County School and Gilliatt School, to create the Fulham Gilliatt Comprehensive School, which came into being in September 1973. Her wisdom and foresight, combined with her gentle humanity did much to ease the schools through this traumatic period. . . . `Perhaps the most vivid memory of all who worked with Miss Harrison is the happiness which coincided with her presence, but with this should also be remembered her gentleness, loyalty and devotion and, latterly, the courage with which she faced suffering, determined at all times to put the ultimate good of others before her own needs and desires.'

HE College is sometimes asked by Senior Members or their solicitors to suggest the wording to be used when making a bequest to the College : for guidance we suggest the following: I give and bequeath (specify the property) to the Principal and Fellows of St. Hugh's College, Oxford, to be dealt with or disposed of for the purposes of the College as the said Principal and Fellows may think fit. The receipt of the Treasurer or proper Officer of the said College shall be a sufficient discharge to my Executors.
