Principal's Report We have to note with deep regret the deaths of several Emeritus Fellows: Miss Olga Bickley who died in Italy on 19 July 1979, Miss Elizabeth Annie Francis who died on 9 December 1979, and Miss Gertrude Thorneycroft who died on 12 March 1980. The news has come in as we go to press of the death of Miss Evelyn Emma Stefanos Procter, Principal of the College from 1946-62 and Honorary Fellow from 1962-80. We mourn the loss of these Senior Members of the College and are grateful for their devoted service to it.

Miss Adam, Senior Research Fellow of the College and University Lecturer in Astronomy, retired at the end of July 1979 and was elected an Emeritus Fellow. It is difficult to imagine the College without her, she has been a member for so long. Mrs. Russell, Tutor in History and Librarian, to our great regret, has decided to retire early at the end of this academic year. Her universal competence and kindliness, her warm and cheeful temper, will be deeply missed by the College. We are sorry, too, that Miss Milne, the Senior Bursar, is also retiring early and leaving us this summer. In her short time here she has left her mark on the College.

We are delighted that Miss Cooper has been elected as the first woman Senior Proctor, and look forward to the benefits to the College of her experience.

During the year Miss Street resigned her appointment as Retaining Fee Lecturer in Geography. Three new Tutorial Fellows were appointed: Miss B. A. Kennedy, Geography; Mr. J. F. Iles, Zoology; Mr. D. B. Robertson, Politics. Dr. M. M. Esiri was appointed a Senior Research Fellow. Miss Quare, the Sub-Librarian, will become Librarian on Mrs. Russell's retirement. Other appointments and awards were: Mr. K. F. Sweeney, Retaining Fee Lecturer in Psychology; Mrs. B. ZurakowskaGedliczka, Rawnsley Student; Miss L. M. Wakefield, Moberly Senior Scholar. Mr. B. Davis (English) of Swaffham Hammonds High School, Norfolk, was Schoolmaster Student in Hilary Term 1979, and Mrs. E. M. Waldron (English) of Brighton and Hove Sixth Form College, was Fanny Seaton Schoolmistress Student in Trinity Term.

In May 1979 I visited America to make contact with Senior Members in Boston, New York, Stanford, and Washington. It was a successful occasion, not least in the warmth with which Senior Members living in America responded to the idea of the College Appeal. The Development Appeal, through which we hope to raise £2 million by 1986, our centenary year, was publicly launched in October 1979, when the sum of money collected by private approaches to industrial companies and charitable trusts amounted to £375,000. At the time of going to press, the Appeal is now assured of £464,000. Senior Members have already contributed some £53,000 in the short period since the Appeal was launched. I shall be sending round a full progress report on the Appeal, and a list of donors, towards the end of Trinity Term. In the meantime, I urge all those who 7

have not yet contributed to do so without delay, before inflation erodes the value of money too severely.

We have three American students working in College for a year, two from Georgetown University and one from Middlebury College, Vermont.

The buttery has been turned into a room for more varied use, and an ambitious redecoration of the Chapel is taking place now that the new organ has been built.

INTRODUCTION OF THE DEGREES OF MASTER OF LETTERS, MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY, AND MASTER OF SCIENCE Under the provisions of recent university statute any person who already holds the degree of B.Litt., or of B.Phil., in a subject other than Philosophy, may if he or she wishes apply to the Registrar through his or her College for the redesignation of the title of his or her degree to that of M.Litt., or M.Phil., respectively. Any person who already holds the degree of B.Sc. may apply for redesignation to that of M.Sc. On receipt of such an application the Registrar will issue a revised degree certificate and amend his records accordingly. In order that information about the possibility of redesignation may reach as many graduates as possible, Colleges have been asked to give as much publicity to it as they can, particularly in college magazines or news-letters.

The Junior Common Room, 1979 (including the Games Report) 1979 has been an active and successful year for the J.C.R. in all fields.

Internally support has increased, as exemplified by the encouraging turnout at J.C.R. Guest Nights and meetings, the frequent use of the Bar and newly opened shop, and the support for the J.C.R. Referendum, which extended visiting hours to include overnight guests on Friday and Saturday nights.

The Drama and Swimming Clubs enjoyed continued excellence in their respective `cuppers'. The brilliance of our university challenge team, which fought their way to the quarter-finals, was matched only by the Boat Club's success on the river, throughout the year. The first boat gained four Bumps in Torpids and, with the sponsorship of `Berlei Sports Bras', attained the Head of the River position in Summer Eights. The continued good relations with the S.C.R. were underlined in their support for the Boat Club's Bump Suppers and the possibility of a new boat. The Club members are determined to surpass their current reputation.

The J.C.R. funds received a much needed boost in Trinity Term, with which support for college and subject societies can be increased, especially making use of the renovated and, as yet, unnamed Buttery.

The launching of the Appeal has had a very encouraging J.C.R. response, especially amongst the candidates for the 1980 elections, whose main concerns were to assert the College's social position on the University map (Summer 1980: Keble, St. Hugh's Ball), and to raise funds for the Appeal, utilizing the garden for a fete to which parents would be invited, and an open-air production. We wish them the best of luck for the next year.

FRANCESCA BARNES (President)

Middle Common Room Graduate numbers of the M.C.R. remain much the same as in past years with forty-eight in-resident and eleven out-of-resident graduate students.

In addition, M.C.R. privileges are open to those fourth-year students in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Classics, and Modern Languages who wish to join. Another ten individuals from this group has brought the total M.C.R. membership to sixty-nine. As always, the group is a diverse one with students hailing from such different locales as Greece, South Africa, the United States, Czechoslovakia, Canada, Germany, and Poland, as well as the British Isles.

The ranks of the Senior Scholars have increased this year. Mrs. B. Zurakowska-Gedliczka, the Rawnsley Scholar in Slovak languages from Poland, Ingrid Pufahl, a German National Scholar reading German literature for one year, and Lalage Wakefield, the Moberly Senior Scholar in Biochemistry, have joined Christine Hall, the Yates Senior Scholar in Theology and Nancy Coiner Benjamin, Rhodes Scholar from the United States, both of whom will complete degrees this year.

Events which have become traditions at the M.C.R.—the summer garden party with Trinity, the exchanges with Queen Elizabeth House and Brasenose, M.C.R. Guest Nights and Christmas party—were met by members with new enthusiasm this year. The M.C.R. also initiated an affair which it hopes will become a tradition—an annual wine and cheese party with members of the Senior Common Room. Graduates, who tend to feel isolated from the College, were delighted at the opportunity to become acquainted with the Senior Members of St. Hugh's.

The outgoing officers of the M.C.R. committee for 1979 are Jeri L, Johnson, President; Irene A. Kerasote, Vice-President; Maris Schone.

Secretary; Gwyneth Hughes, Treasurer; Carol A. Vickers/Elspeth Heasom, Social Secretaries.

Annual Meeting of the Association of Senior Members The fifty-fourth Annual Meeting of the Association of Senior Members was held in the Mordan Hall on Saturday, 23 June 1979, at 3 p.m., the President, Dr. Reeves, in the chair. Forty members were present.

The President reminded the meeting of their first duty of commemoration in reading the names of those members who had died during the year or whose deaths had not been mentioned in the Chronicle.

After correction of the date of the last A.G.M. as printed in the Chronicle from 2 July to 1 July 1978, the Minutes were signed. There was no business arising from the Minutes.

President's Report. Principal and fellow-members of the A.S.M., I feel

somewhat timid in occupying this magnificent chair for the first time today. But my initiation into this office has been thorough as well as tactful and I must begin by giving my warmest thanks to the Secretary for guiding my feet in the way they should go and to the committee members for their interest and support. Dr. Fleet, as we all know, does a marvellous job in producing the Chronicle so elegantly, with its many details to be checked. But she has also been pressing on with the new Address List and it is thanks to her labours on what must be a tedious task that the next edition of this is now in the pipe-line. We are grateful to the College for underwriting this and it will be sold at ÂŁ2.00. You can place your orders now. Any future edition, however, will need careful consideration because of escalating costs.

Although Mrs. Iremonger had, to her great regret, to withdraw her invitation for the London sherry party, I am happy to say that Mrs. Margaret Potter has generously offered to entertain us on 29 September.

You have details of this event already. Since this is a much-enjoyed occasion, we shall soon be seeking another kind London hostess for 1981.

The main College reports are given by the Principal and Dr. Adams whom we are happy to have with us this afternoon. But I should like to mention one happening. As a parishioner of the University Church of St. Mary the Virgin I was delighted to see the Principal announced as one of the preachers at Parish Communion during this last term. She has, of course, preached a University Sermon from that august pulpit before, but it was good to have her speaking to the St. Mary's congregation and I know many were inspired by her words. To my great chagrin, however, I could not listen myself.

The reason for this was that I was already committed to attending a seminar at St. George's House, Windsor Castle. Since there has been little for me, as President, to report and since the seminar was on a topic of general educational concern, I thought I would crave your indulgence to add a few words on its theme. This meeting was one of a series designed to probe into one of our greatest social question-marks today: the future 25

of the 'work ethic'. Is the new technology (the silicone chip and all that) about to destroy the old concept of work as an essential part of man's humanity? In particular, is it making nonsense of our traditional concept in the university of preparation for professional careers which lead straight out of good education ? For generations our Bidding Prayer has assumed this: 'And that there may never be wanting a succession of persons duly qualified for the service of God in Church and State, we implore God's blessing on all places of religious and useful learning . .

And we, as teachers and parents, have made this assumption too: for generations we have viewed the troops as marching out (most of them, at least) at the end of their university courses into useful careers for which their education was, in one sense or another, a preparation. Now that unquestioned connection between knowledge and an assured career is for many broken. The jobs are hard to come by. Though in an increasingly `service economy' it is mainly the unskilled who are thrown on the scrapheap first, there are going to be many graduates who cannot find posts of the traditional kind. So what is the purpose of learning at the university?

What is knowledge for? In what sense does 'knowledge for its own sake' stand amid these shifting sands ? We need to rethink and reaffirm our belief in higher education.

In all this we have a particular interest in women's work. Mrs. Curtis has broached to the A.S.M. committee a project for looking at the historical perspective of women graduates and their careers by studying a sample of St. Hugh's graduates and what they have done since going down. At the same time the College is considering a plan to monitor careers of St. Hugh's students over the next few years with the fact that most Oxford colleges are 'going mixed' specifically in mind. Both the historical and the contemporary studies would be very apt for a time when many careerpatterns are changing anyway. The relationship between getting knowledge and serving the community in one capacity or another is of perpetual concern in universities and, indeed, in all institutions of higher education, but it is an ever-changing one and it would be good if this college could contribute something to the rethinking now needed.

College Report. Dr. Adam, the Governing Body Representative on the A.S.M. Committee said: My report is intended to cover events since the appearance of the Chronicle, which is taken as read.

Perhaps I might add a further word about Mary Snow with whom I co-operated in the science teaching in the 1930s and 1940s when each college had a different sort of science tutor and shared them round.

Mary Pilkington was an Exhibitioner of the college, 1922-6 and (as Mary Snow) was elected to an Honorary Fellowship in 1972. She has been a most generous benefactor of the college in many causes. A memorial service, held in Somerville College on 3 February this year, was attended by many Senior Members of St. Hugh's. Professor J. H. Burnett paid a very impressive and sensitive tribute to her and to the important botanical work that she and her husband have done.

26

A.S.M. members and especially Rosemary's contemporaries will wish to know that Somerville College is establishing a Rosemary Woolf fund in her memory, the income to be used for the purchase of books and to provide grants for needy graduate students.

Governing Body matters: The appeal, about which you have heard from the Principal has been very much to the fore and as you can judge a great deal of work has been done by the Principal and Mrs. Chitty with a great deal of success.

There have been several appointments during the year: following Miss Sweeting's appointment to a Readership, Miss B. A. Kennedy (Camb.) has been appointed to a Tutorial Fellowship in Physical Geography, but I am glad to say that we still have Miss Sweeting as an Official Fellow and Lecturer. Mr. David Robertson (formerly of Oriel College) has been appointed to a Tutorial Fellowship in Politics, and Dr. John Iles, University Lecturer (formerly of Merton College) to a Tutorial Fellowship in Zoology. Dr. Iles's impressive recommendations include that of being married to a committee member of the A.S.M. (our Susan Whyte)!

Dr. Margaret Esiri (nĂŠe Margaret Evans, read Medicine from 1960-7 at St. Hugh's), now Senior Registrar in the Neurophysiology Department of the Radcliffe Infirmary, has been appointed to a Senior Research Fellowship.

We bid a regretful goodbye to Mrs. Gillian Cohen who has resigned her part-time post as lecturer in Psychology, to Miss Alleyne Street, lecturer in Geography, Dr. Henry Bennet-Clark, lecturer in Zoology, Miss Elizabeth Meehan, lecturer in Politics, and Miss Ruth Chadwick, lecturer in Ancient Philosophy, who have all given most valuable help in the college teaching.

You will have seen from the notice sent round with the Chronicle that it was decided to create a Martinengo-Cesaresco Award for Senior Members of the college, in Italian Studies.

I expect you noticed the building activity by the front entrance, this is work in progress for the conversion of the Buttery area. With changing eating patterns among the undergraduates it became clear that the main Dining Hall had sufficient capacity for all normal meals and so the Governing Body decided that the Buttery should be converted into a multipurpose room with a bar, and the service of snacks, as required, from the kitchen. Apart from its direct advantage to the college the availability of such a public room should add considerably to our attractiveness for conferences.

The remarkable improvements in the library you can see for yourselves; a sherry party was held on 3 March to mark the completion of this important project.

I will also include under `G.B. matters' the action of the 'Statutory Electors', in theory at least this body has a much wider membership than the G.B. The electors met on 14 March for the first-time election of a University Proctor from a woman's college. The office is now open to all

27

colleges of the University. Miss T. C. Cooper was unanimously elected for the period of office 1980-1.

S.C.R. News. The college appeal and her visits to the States have of course taken up a good deal of the Principal's time, but she has also been able to accept some invitations to speak, at the University of Massachusetts summer school, at the Isis seminar, at the Dulwich Forum when she spoke on 'Landscape and Literature', at the Manchester Association for the teaching of English and at the Religious Education Refresher Course on `The Bible in Literature'. She has had the unusual distinction of being invited to become a lay member of a committee of the Medical Research Council and attended a meeting in May. In June this year she was elected a member of the Hebdomadal Council to hold office for six years (that means she was very high up in the poll !).

We have enjoyed the company of two school-teacher students during the year, Mr. Brian Davies, from Swaffam Hammonds High School in Hilary Term, who entertained us delightfully on the harp! This term we are very glad to have with us Miss Mary Waldron from Brighton, Hove and Sussex sixth-form college. The usual Headteachers conference, this time for Heads of Independent Schools, Comprehensive Schools, and sixth-form colleges was held in the Easter vacation by invitation of Group 3 colleges. Nineteen members were housed in St. Hugh's and very appreciative letters of thanks were received afterwards.

We congratulate Miss Sweeting most heartily on the award of a medal from the University of Liege for her work on limestone morphology: this came as a complete surprise when she was attending a conference in Liege.

I generally conclude with retirements, but I think there is only one, and in that I am bound to declare an interest, so I will stop.

Presentation to Dr. Adam. In thanking Dr. Adam for her report, the

President said it was sad that this would be her last, and asked Dr. Jones to make the presentation.

Dr. Jones spoke of her knowledge of Dr. Adam as tutor, colleague, and fellow committee member: Dr. Adam had served as Governing Body Representative for the Association for a number of years. She brought to all her activities the same meticulous attention to detail and the highest standards which distinguished her work in her special field of astrophysics. She was moreover always ready with kind help and advice as was shown by a number of appreciative letters the Hon. Secretary had received from Senior Members. Dr. Jones presented to Dr. Adam on behalf of the Association and with their best wishes, a cheque, and a fountain pen—a characteristically modest choice.

In reply, Dr. Adam thanked members for the wonderful gift and said she was overwhelmed by it and by how much she had received from the College during forty-nine years. She had known it under four Principals beginning with Miss Gwyer. Dr. Adam felt it was the people who made up the concept of the College, and though there had been changes and she felt

there would be rapid changes in the future, she had confidence that the tradition would continue.

Membership of the Association. The Principal made a brief reference to a suggestion that B.A.'s might be included in the membership without waiting until they became M.A.'s, with the object that it would be possible to keep in touch with more old students than at present. A number of points were raised, such as when membership of the A.S.M. should start, at matriculation or later, the position of graduates of other universities, and whether or not people might feel resentful at being forced to join, and whether there should be some way of opting out.

It was hoped to have discussion particularly about the all important financial implications between the College and the Officers of the A.S.M. by the autumn.

Presentation of Trees. On behalf of those who came up in 1929, Dr. Fleet

presented the College with a cheque for ÂŁ234.34 to purchase trees to replace those lost by disease, and in particular to acquire a metasequoia glyptostroboides. There would also be a plaque in memory of Miss Gwyer.

The Principal received the gift in the unfortunate absence of Dr. Lunt, Custos Hortulorum, and expressed her thanks for this great generosity.

There were several appreciative reminiscences of Dr. Adam's brilliance as an undergraduate, how she was the first Oxford woman to take a First in Physics, and how she was vivaed by men who were incredulous that a woman could write such outstanding examination answers, and had to see her to believe.

The London Sherry Party, 1979 The party was held on Saturday, 29 September, at the home of Mrs. Margaret Potter. The arrangements made for us were most charming and hospitable, and the Committee would like to record the Association's thanks to Mrs. Potter and her husband for offering to house the party.

Just over forty Senior Members were present spanning the years 1920 to 1970, and it was good to see the generations mingling in such a happy atmosphere.

We are assured that our hostess found the occasion as enjoyable as did the guests, and we hope that other members will feel able to undertake similar parties for us in the future.

Professor Olga Bickley Olga Delphina Bickley was born on 14 April 1896 at Vercelli, the only child of an English father domiciled in Italy and an Italian mother.

Olga was a British citizen but she was brought up in Genoa and, although she was bilingual, Italian was her first language and the one most spoken at her home. She also spoke French and German from childhood. Her education was Italian. She attended schools in Genoa and afterwards followed a four-year course at the Regia University of Genoa. In June 1928 she was awarded the research degree of `Dottore in Lettere' for a thesis on `Shakespeare e l'Italia'. In 1927 Olga entered Lady Margaret Hall, at first intending to continue research there, but later she decided to read for the Final Honour School of English. Her work was much interrupted by the illnesses of herself and her father, but she completed the course and was admitted to the degree of B.A. in 1930, and in due course to the degree of M.A. From 1930 to 1931 she held the Hugh Conway Scholarship at Bristol University and continued research on the Italian elements in English Literature. In the following year she held the post of Lettrice in English at Genoa University. From time to time she contributed articles and reviews in the Italian literary periodical La Ressegna. She was also entrusted by the Ufficio di Belle Acti e Storia of the municipality of Genoa with the translation into English of an important Italian work on Christopher Columbus.

In 1932 St. Hugh's College received under the will of Contessa Evelyn Martinengo Cesaresco (an English woman by birth and the widow of an Italian noble) a legacy of ÂŁ3,500 to be used to promote the study, by members of the College, of Italian language, literature, or history. The College Council decided to use the income for a lecturership in Italian, and in 1933 Olga Bickley was elected Martinengo Cesaresco Lecturer.

In 1937 she was also appointed to a Tutorship in Modern Languages and to an Official Fellowship.

Olga retired in 1958 and in 1960 she was elected to an Emeritus Fellowship. In the same year she was appointed to a full-time Professorship in Italian at the University of Toronto where she had been a part-time lecturer for some years after leaving Oxford. After her final retirement from Toronto, she made her permanent home in Italy but she still retained the flat in the Woodstock Road which she had first acquired on the outbreak of war in 1939, and she usually visited Oxford for part of each summer.

In 1964 she founded the Henry Rowlatt Bickley Memorial Lecture at St. Hugh's in memory of her father The lecture, on an Italian subject, is given in alternate years in Trinity Term and Olga made a point of being in Oxford for it.

In the winter of 1978 Olga suffered a stroke from which she made a partial recovery but she was unable to visit England again She died in Genoa on 19 July 1979. Olga had great vigour and wide interests She was adaptable and spontaneous. She made contacts easily and had a great capacity for friendship. She will be sadly missed by her many friends, 34

especially her former colleagues and pupils who will remember her with gratitude and affection.

Elizabeth Annie Francis (The following tribute appeared in The Times on Tuesday, 11 December 1979, and is here reprinted by permission. Ed.) Miss Elizabeth A. Francis, formerly Fellow and Tutor of St. Hugh's College, Oxford, died on 9 December, at the age of 84.

Elizabeth Annie Francis was born in 1895. She was educated privately and at Reigate High School and in 1914 won a scholarship to University College, London. After taking her B.A. degree in French she worked in the Ministry of Pensions until 1919, when she returned to University College to work for the degree of M.A. She also studied for a time in Paris, at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes, under Mario Rogues, and held temporary teaching posts at the University of Lausanne and at Royal Holloway College, London.

In 1924 she was appointed tutor in French at St. Hugh's College, Oxford, and two years later was elected to a Fellowship. She was appointed to a University Lecturership in 1939 but, as the Lecturership was suspended during the war, she did not take it up until 1945.

She served for several years on the Board of the Faculty of Modern Languages. Elizabeth Francis was a specialist in twelfth-century AngloNorman Literature; she edited Wace, Vie de Sainte Marguerite (Les Classiques Francais du Moyen Age) and contributed articles to various English and foreign periodicals. She was also a member of the editorial boards of the Anglo-Norman Text Society and of the Anglo-Norman Dictionary.

Miss Francis retired from her University and College posts in 1957 and in 1960 was elected by her College to an Emeritus Fellowship.

Elizabeth Marion Baldock (nĂŠe Deuchar) Professor David Nichols of Exeter University writes: Dr. Elizabeth M. Deuchar (Mrs. Arnold Baldock), Exhibitioner of the College from 1945 to 1948, died on 26 January 1979, after a period of intermittent illness. She had been a Scholar of Cheltenham Ladies' College from 1940 to 1945, and read Zoology while at St. Hugh's. The rapidly expanding field of developmental biology attracted her as an undergraduate, and she subsequently obtained an Agricultural Research Council Studentship to work with Professor C. H. Waddington, F.R.S., 35

at the Institute of Animal Genetics at Edinburgh, on problems in regional induction during embryological development. She later taught embryology in the Anatomy Department of University College, London, to which she was appointed Assistant Lecturer in 1953; she was elected to a Readership in 1964.

Reflecting her profound interest in Theology, she obtained leave of absence, and later resigned, from her post in 1966 to take the Diploma in Theology at William Temple College. But she returned to her scientific work on appointment as Senior Lecturer in Anatomy at Bristol in 1968.

In 1972 she married Arnold Baldock, a chartered surveyor, and they made their home on a small farm near Axminster, Devon. Elizabeth continued as part-time Lecturer at Bristol for three years, but the distance between her home and her work was such that she resigned in 1975.

Up to that time, her academic interests had ranged over a wide spectrum within embryology: her first paper had been on regional induction by organizer tissues in amphibian embryos, and she had worked on biochemical problems related to embryology of the classic experimental animals, the Amphibia, chick, and rat. Her work in morphogenesis can be said to have culminated in the appearance of her book Cellular interactions during animal development (Chapman & Hall, 1975), though her intimate knowledge of possibly the most convenient amphibian used by developmentalists led to her 'guide' called Xenopus laevis, the South African clawed toad (Wiley Interscience, 1975). She also produced over fifty scientific papers.

In 1975 she approached the British Diabetic Association for a personal research grant to enable her to continue research at the nearby University of Exeter, to study the effects of maternal diabetes on mammalian embryological development. This work led to several further scientific papers and contributions to multi-author books, and was so promising that it was renewed for a further period, of which she completed only a few months before her untimely death. A permanent memorial to her rests in the Department of Biological Sciences and the University Library at Exeter, in that she left to them her personal scientific effects and books. Her gentle humour, her rigorous scientific attitude, and her quiet friendliness will be greatly missed by her colleagues in the departments in which she worked, and whom she met at scientific meetings.

Nellie Payne Bartlett (nÊe Clark) Although our families had been acquainted for many years, I first got to know Helen really well when I spent a summer holiday with her in 1933— just before I came up to St. Hugh's. She was thirteen years my senior in age, which could have mattered a great deal at the beginning, but age was something I never noticed with Helen. She was a delightful companion always, and the twinkle in her eye and her chuckle were unforgettable.

36

Helen had taught history after going down from Oxford, but by 1933 she had given up her job and had gone to live in Welcombe, North Devon, to help look after her parents who had retired there a few years previously.

In this remote spot Helen made herself entirely at home, entering fully into the life of the local community, becoming a prominent member of the local Women's Institute and a very active Church member; and as the years went past it was hard to remember that she had ever lived anywhere else. In 1938 she married Tom Bartlett, the son of a local farmer who farmed at Meddon, some three miles from Welcombe.

On her husband's retirement in 1959, Helen and Tom returned to Welcombe to live with Helen's widowed mother and they stayed on in this house after Mrs. Clark's death—a house which held many memories for Helen as it had been largely constructed by her father when he first retired to Welcombe. I saw Helen only at very long intervals, as she seldom left Welcome and I could not often get to Devon; but she corresponded regularly and I was looking forward to visiting her again in the summer of 1978 when I heard of her tragic death as the result of a road accident which occurred on the day after her husband's sudden death in April 1978.

Helen rallied for a short while but died four days later, perhaps this is just as she would have wished as she and Tom were devoted to each other.

Valerie de Pomerai (nĂŠe Brennan) It is with deep sorrow that we learnt of the death on Good Friday 1979, at the age of 27, of Valerie Brennan, as she was during her years at St. Hugh's. Of radiant personality and the highest academic promise, Valerie Brennan will leave an indelible memory on all who knew her.

Like many members of this college who have attained distinction, Valerie achieved entry after a halt at the top of the entrance waiting list: but if her ability was not immediately recognizable, by the end of her second year the potential was obvious. During her time as an `assistante' in France, however, the blow fell—Hodgkin's disease was diagnosed and her final year at St. Hugh's was marred by operations and periods of radium treatment. How natural it would have been for her contemporaries to have been affected by gloom and despondency, yet few of them knew against what odds she was fighting. Her first-class degree, the most brilliant I have known in my years as a tutor at St. Hugh's, was the outcome of her own unquestionable ability and courage, aided by a skilled amanuensis, the kindly invigilation of the Bursar and the School-mistress student's taxi-service which ferried invigilator and scripts through the summer traffic. Thereafter Valerie knew some years of happiness and achievement in teaching, in a deeply harmonious marriage, and in the beginnings of 37

research. A sincere Christian faith sustained her through the tribulations of which she was fully aware; of no-one could it be said more feelingly than of her that she fought the good fight.

Olwen Katrina Howard Hudson (née Emt age) I first met Jill (Olwen to her Oxford friends) at an Oxford Society dinner in Chester in the early 1950s, and from that small beginning sprang a friendship that lasted until her death. We were rarely living near enough to visit frequently, but we kept in touch with occasional letters and on our rare meetings we simply picked up the threads where we had last dropped them.

Jill was a wonderfully serene person to be with—a visit to her home was always a delight—and this atmosphere, together with her devoted care, was no doubt the key factor in restoring her husband to a measure of health after a serious operation some twenty odd years ago—a measure of health he still enjoys today.

Jill's interests were wide and her skills varied. At Oxford she read an unusual combination of mathematics and history and played lacrosse for the University. She also played hockey for the Natal team while teaching in South Africa in 1927. But her chief delights were gardening and painting in water colours. She created a beautiful garden at her house in Frodsham, and again when she moved to Swallowfield Park.

Her water-colour painting she took up only in middle life and for a long time was self-taught. Later she went on tutored painting holidays and in the spring of 1978 her art tutor in Cambridge put on a little exhibition of her work based mainly on a year's monthly paintings of the changing scene from her sitting-room window. She was much encouraged when she sold eleven out of the eighteen paintings.

Jill died peacefully on 23 January 1979 after a lengthy illness spent partly in hospital and nursing home, but her last few months were spent at her home in Gretton Court, Girton, with her husband and in the surroundings she loved.

Olive Howland Lister All seemed set fair for Olive when she was born on the 20 January 1899, her father was an Admiral and her mother an American and from them she inherited a width of outlook and a clarity of thought. Alas, however, illness meant that she missed a year of schooling and her father was killed at the battle of Jutland.

38

From her early years Olive wanted to be a doctor and she came up to St. Hugh's in 1920 to read Physiology. She was thus one of the first group of women to be admitted to the University and of the still smaller group training for medicine.

After taking her B.A. at Oxford she went for medical training to King's College Hospital, London, gaining her M.R.C.S. Eng., L.R.C.P. Lond. in 1927 and B.M., B.Ch. Oxon. in 1928. Her first post was as Clinical Assistant at King's College Hospital in the Children's Orthopaedic Department in 1928. From 1929 to 1934 she held posts in hospitals in Manchester, Sydenham, and Stratford and in the Children's Orthopaedic Hospital, Bath. She was unfortunately taken ill in 1934 but in 1938 she was able to take a post in Plaistow and later at Orpington. Once more she was taken ill and although she was Casualty Officer at St. Giles' Hospital, Camberwell, from 1943 to 1946 ill health compelled her finally to abandon her medical career. She was bitterly disappointed that she was unable to continue in the work for which she had studied with such dedication, trained and qualified so thoroughly, and which she loved.

Olive was gifted on the artistic side; while at college she belonged to the Isis and Osiris Players and later she was a member of the Dulwich Philharmonic Choir. She had a talent for drawing and illustrated a book by her friend Dr. Margaret Jackson of Somerville, entitled What they Wore, a book on children's clothing throughout the ages.

After 1946 Olive lived with her sister, brother, and sister-in-law, taking an active part in family life; she was particularly devoted to her brother's children.

A loyal and devoted daughter of St. Hugh's College she attended college Gaudies whenever possible and remained in touch with the friends she had made at Oxford who are sad that she was unable to attain her potential in the medical world but admire the courage with which she faced the disappointment. A. E. W.

Lady Jean Pliatzky (nĂŠe Elias) Jean came up in 1944 from St. Katharine's, Taunton, to read History.

She had a deep love of her subject, a shining intelligence, and an amused and amusing approach which captivated her friends. She glowed with life and health and although she had suffered the early death of her mother, the consequent break up of the family and the anxieties of her father's and brothers' naval service, she achieved a dignity and serenity which never left her.

After Schools in 1947 she became research assistant at Transport House and in 1948 married Leo Pliatzky whom she had met when he returned to Corpus after the war. It was a marriage of true minds and Leo would be the first to agree that it was Jean's support, their happy family life with their son and daughter, and her informed interest that made his career at the Treasury such a brilliant success.

39

It was deeply sad that, only a few months after Leo was knighted and became Permanent Secretary at the Department of Trade in 1977, Jean became ill. She recovered for a time and one of her happiest days was when she returned to St. Hugh's in October 1978 to take her M.A. Her final illness began in the summer of 1979 and despite great suffering she encouraged Leo to accept the special assignment from the Prime Minister to investigate the Quangos. Her mind was clear and incisive to the end and it was a great satisfaction to her that she saw the completion of the report.

Her death at 53 was a bitter blow to all of us.

Osyth Mary Potts Osyth came up,to St. Hugh's from Queen Anne's, Caversham, in October 1912, and after taking her degree in French she became the first woman to obtain the Oxford Theology Diploma. She entered fully into the life of the College, and remained a loyal member—and of her school—all her life.

To enumerate the educational posts she held with distinction gives little indication of the remarkable woman she was. She taught first at Bridgnorth High School, then at her old school for five years; in 1927 she joined Lorna Southwell (S.H.C.) in founding St. George's School at Clarens, Switzerland, an association never broken. After the Headship of Guildford High School she moved to Huyton College, Liverpool, and during the twenty-three years there perhaps her best work was done: both staff and girls testify to her remarkable influence, she stood for the value of work and encouraged each one to reach her individual summit. She was a keen Franciscan, and her quiet sincerity encouraged others and was of immense value to the school and lives on in the happy families of her old pupils.

Osyth's sound common sense, her zest for life, her capacity for friendship, her lively sense of humour, stood her in good stead when faced with the threat of war in so vulnerable a target as Liverpool. Her worries must have been enormous, but no one would have known it—she put aside her own problems to help others solve theirs. Part of the school was evacuated to the Lake District, and here during the five years numbers increased. When peace came there was the problem of welding together what had become two separate schools. Under her capable leadership this was gradually overcome and the school went forward.

On retirement in 1953 Osyth went to live in Oldbury, Bridgnorth, where she continued her life of service and 'made a lively and stimulating contribution to the life of the parish'. Finally at St. Katharine's, Wantage, she was able to keep in touch with old friends and pupils by indulging in her love of letter-writing and by paying and receiving visits. She died in hospital in Oxford after a comparatively short illness.

Anne Josephine Read Josephine Read read Italian and French at St. Hugh's from 1957-60. As an Exhibitioner, she lived in College from the first and quickly acquired a group of close friends. After Oxford she joined the West Cumberland Silk Mills at the time of the launching of Sekers Furnishing Fabrics and threw herself happily into London life. The work at Sekers developed Josie's love of fabrics, her flair for design, and her acute colour sense, but the commercial world did not really appeal to her and in 1964 she began training for the Probation Service at Exeter University. In 1966 she was appointed to the Essex Probation Service. She was first attached to the Chelmsford Office, the beginning of a happy association with an area which was within easy reach of her friends and relations in London and East Anglia.

Josie's abiding interest in life was in people, as individuals and as members of society. The Probation Service offered her much scope but she decided to expand her specialized training and obtained secondment in 1969-70 to the Institute of Marital Studies in London. One of the aspects of Probation work which most appealed to Josie was student training, where her gift for conveying her own enthusiasms made her a popular and successful supervisor. In 1972 the reorganization of the Social Services was creating a need for training courses and it was at this time that Josie was appointed Social Work Training Officer for the London Borough of Havering in Romford. Her last post (from 1976) as Social Work Education Adviser with the Central Council for Education and Training in Social Work was a natural progression.

Josie had a great gift for friendship and her many talents were constantly available to her family and friends whether they were in the throes of creating a wedding dress or redecorating, and in many cases practically rebuilding, a house. When she was finally admitted to St. Bartholomew's Hospital in July 1979 and cancer was diagnosed, visitors flocked to her bedside hoping to repay in some measure the friendship and support which she gave so generously to others. She had managed to keep in close touch with many people, seizing opportunities to call in on friends and relations as she travelled about and dispatching cards and presents which would arrive, addressed in her distinctive hand, at birthdays and Christmas or simply because she had found something which she felt would appeal especially to you. Josie was a marvellous companion whether for a church crawl through her beloved Romney Marsh or for more ambitious trips— a Hellenic Cruise or a tour of the U.S.A. Her last trip abroad, an American holiday in 1978, combined all her favourite ploys—visits to relations, new babies to admire, and leisurely meals in congenial company alternating with stays in major centres such as New York, Washington, and Williamsburg where she appreciated to the full all that is offered to the discerning traveller.

Joanne Patricia Zuckermann (née Leedham) The tragic early death of Joanne P. Zuckermann on 23 March 1979 at the age of 40 has deprived two colleges of a brilliant teacher— St. Catherine's and Mansfield, at each of which she was a Lecturer—and her own of a passionately loyal senior member. She was a most remarkable personality; capable of intense devotion to people, places, and institutions she loved, but of a happy carefree temperament in the superficial affairs of life. Her work was extraordinary in its originality, as her articles on In Memoriam and Anne Thackeray sufficiently indicate. The fact that she read Course II in the Schools (in which she took a First), then proceeded to a D.Phil. on a subject, 'The Drinking Scene as a Source of Comic Realism', which ranged from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century, and finally in her work in Canada made herself a Victorian specialist, itself indicates her remarkable energy and the range she mastered with the ease of a first-class literary mind.

Her first husand, a physicist, worked mostly in America and Canada, and it was only in her late thirties when her marriage collapsed that Joanne Zuckermann was able to return to Oxford. Her work over the last year or two for St. Catherine's and Mansfield gave her deep pleasure.

Her career in North America, including as it did the Chairmanship of the English Department at Loyola College, Montreal, gives some idea of the administrative skill which she had earlier shown in organizing the Randolph Macon Annexe for Junior Year Students at Reading University between 1967 and 1969.

She was a woman of rare quality—prejudiced, passionate, witty, light-hearted yet serious-minded. Those who loved her, and there were many, will remember her best surrounded by beloved cats and children, sitting for preference on the floor, wholly concentrated on the book lying open before her, yet never neglecting the needs of her adored and adoring family. She was a vividly unique figure who remains in the memory tenaciously. R. T.
