Principal's Report The College was delighted that Dame Mary Warnock was elected Mistress of Girton, and given a life peerage in the New Year's Honours List, as Baroness of Weeke in the City of Winchester. She has been elected an Honorary Fellow of the College. Two further Honorary Fellows have been elected, the Hon. Honor Smith (Senior Research Fellow 1950-71; Additional Fellow 1971-75) and Lord Shackleton (explorer, and adviser to, and exChairman of RTZ). New appointments were: Mr Warrack, Tutor in Music; Mr Page, Tutor in Computation; Dr Schultz (Mechanical Engineering), Professorial Fellow; Dr Bergel, Lecturer in Physiology; Dr Errington, Lecturer in Biochemistry. Dr Butler was appointed University Lecturer in English from October 1985, when she relinquishes her Tutorship and becomes a Senior Research Fellow. Mrs Kennedy, the College Secretary, left after 25 years at the College; Miss Fox, the Matron, left after 22 years. Mr Whippell resigned as Chaplain; Mr Gillingham has replaced him for one year, Mr Midgely to take up the appointment thereafter.

The Centenary Committee is now planning the programme for 1986, of which details will be circulated later. The Development Appeal, due to culminate in 1986, has now reached £1,700,200 approx. Contributions from Senior Members are an appreciable portion of this sum and we trust that, with the help of their renewed efforts, we will reach our target of £2,000,000 by next year. We are deeply grateful for the help of Hewlett-Packard Ltd, who are subsidizing our new Computation Fellowship at the level of £6,000 p.a. for five years; and to the Dee Corporation, who have subsidized the Chemistry Fellowship held by Dr Green at the level of £15,000 p.a. for three years, and have permanently endowed five graduate scholarships at the College.

The Principal spent three weeks in America in February and March 1984 meeting Senior Members and talking to them about the Appeal.

The Vice-Chancellor's Garden Party for Encaenia was held in the College gardens on 26 June 1984. The gardens were open to the public one Sunday under the National Gardens Scheme; and have been placed on the Register of Historic Gardens.

There are two American students spending their Junior Year Abroad at St Hugh's; and four more Hong Kong students came up in October, bringing the total to seven in the third year of the Hong Kong Studentship Scheme.

The Principal visited Hong Kong in August to sit on the Selection Committee of the Scheme.

Middle Common Room The Middle Common Room welcomed 16 new graduate members in 1984.

As in previous years this has included a large number from overseas, including Dawn Bazely, the Overseas Graduate Scholar, from the University of Toronto, and Seymour Senait, the JCR Overseas Scholar, from the University of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The other new scholars have found their way to St Hugh's from elsewhere in Oxford: Edith Hall (Jubilee Scholar) from Wadham and Elizabeth Stuart (Yates Scholar) from Jesus.

Pippa Smith has been awarded the Moberly Scholarship and Angela Rae the Larkinson Scholarship, to complete the list of academic honours. Anna Orlowska has moved on to higher things — a Junior Research Fellowship in Engineering at Keble, where she has become the first woman ever to preside over High Table. Pat Kirkpatrick obtained her D Phil, and Liz Baigent is preparing to depart for Sweden to take up a research fellowship.

Various social events have taken place in the MCR this year, of which the highlight was probably the Guy Fawkes Night fireworks party. The Christmas party revealed the breakdancing and aerobics skills of several MCR volunteers, while other events included the Shrove Tuesday pancake party.

The coming year will find the MCR in a state of limbo, between its present Canterbury Road site and the promised land of the graduate centre in Banbury Road. We all look forward to the move and the new facilities which will be available to us there.

Angela Rae (President)

Junior Common Room Well, one thing at least never changes at St Hugh's—the Boat Club again thrashed everyone on the river throughout this year, and are justly smug about it all. Apart from the ever consistently victorious rowers (they're the ones with the muscles and the True Grit), we have seen a few changes at St Hugh's. A Women's Group and a Maths Society are among the newcomers to the Amalgamated Clubs. The first issue of a JCR magazine comes out at the end of this term—many thanks go to Jane Porter and Melanie McGrath, untiring and at times intrepid editors.

JCR meetings have had variable attendance, but have always been a forum for lively and interesting debate on political and social issues as well as the perennial moans on fees, security and the lack of washing machines!

24

The OUSU Deputy President, (Sabbatical position) for this year is Sarah Reid, who finished her PPE course at St Hugh's in Trinity '84 and over the last year the _ JCR has become increasingly involved in OUSU with representation on a range of student councils and committees.

On the drama scene, one of the most exciting (and rainy) events to take place during my term in office has been a garden production of Hamlet in Trinity term. Directed by Roz Jones and Cassie Rutty, it was an overwhelming artistic success, although the weather was a problem. A case of more True Grit as actors and audiences got wet and then wetter. St Hugh's Players have continued to be active in college life, backing not only Hamlet, but three other student productions, and arranging social events, including an evening with Dame Peggy Ashcroft to be held in Hilary '85.

Sue Asquith has been an untiring Social Secretary, organising interesting events from folk evenings to rock bands. The bar has had a multi-coloured and unfire-proofed face-lift and has become a pleasant meeting place. I'd like to thank the JCR Committee who have all worked so hard and achieved a great deal—particularly my thanks go to Byron Gillingham for the help and support she has given me.

Cath Hinton (President)

The Library Since the report on the Library in the Chronicle for 1978-79, which detailed the extensive structural alterations which had taken place, the only additions to the fabric have been rather sinister-looking but nonetheless vital smoke detectors in all the various reading rooms, a new clock in the Fulford Room since the existing one could no longer be persuaded to go, and clocks in the Law Library, Science Reading Room and Periodicals Room. The Library opening hours have also been changed slightly. After the system of wholly unrestricted access for twenty-four hours a day had to be changed for security reasons, a compromise was reached by locking the Library between dusk and 7 a.m. but on a lock to which all College members have a key.

Although changes to the fabric have been few in the last six years the same is not true of the book stock. The Library currently purchases over 1,000 books per year and now has a stock of over 53,000 items. New subject areas are being added, for example Engineering and Computing, and existing areas are being improved and up-dated as far as possible. New 'non-book materials' are also being added, since, as well as the skeleton in 25

the 'Bones Cupboard' and the Chemistry models, we are now keeping cassette tapes for various topics in Chemistry.

The Library has always been extremely fortunate in generous gifts of books and money and the past few years have been no exception in this respect. All gifts are extremely welcome although space does not permit a full record of them here, but particularly noteworthy are the very generous gift of French books from Miss E C M Rountree, providing much-needed extra copies of set texts, the splendid improvement to the Biochemistry section made by the bequest of Miss M R Lunt's library and the outstanding collection of Classics books left by Miss D H F Gray. Nor is the Library enhanced solely by gifts from former members of the College. In 1981 the Law Library's stock was almost doubled by a most munificent bequest from the Library of Sir Rupert Cross, from which we were given a complete set of All England Law Reports, as well as a marvellous collection of works on Jurisprudence and Criminal Law. At our current rate of growth we have space to house another ten years' worth of acquisitions. However, finances are always stretched, especially now with exchange-rate fluctuations and with the threat of VAT on books hanging over us, so gifts of any size or form are always welcome.

A North American Visit During the academic year 1983/84 I was a Fellow at the Center for Hellenic Studies in Washington, DC and spent the time doing research. I completed a substantial project and also some papers on several subjects.

During my time in the United States, I gave invited lectures at Harvard University, Cornell University, the University of Texas at Austin, Oklahoma University, the University of California at Berkeley, the University of Virginia and the University of Maryland. I gave a Matchette lecture at the Catholic University of America, and spoke at conferences at Princeton University and the University of Pittsburgh.

We also spent time in Canada with my husband's family, and I gave a lecture at the University of Toronto. My husband also completed research during the year, attended conferences and gave invited lectures at the University of Calgary and the Canadian Philosophical Association.

The College Archive The appeal for material for the College Archive sent out with the last issue of the Chronicle has produced quite a lot of interesting items, and it is hoped that some of these will be incorporated in a display for the Centenary. There are, however, still some considerable gaps and if you have any items you think would be suitable for the Archive and would be prepared to donate them to the College, please contact the Librarian.

Annual Meeting of the Association of Senior Members The President welcomed members to the fifty窶馬inth Annual Meeting of the Association of Senior Members held in the Mordan Hall on Saturday, 30 June 1984. Ninety-four members were present.

Apologies for absence had been received from Mrs Chitty and Miss Jacobs.

Members stood in silence in memory of those who had died during the past year. Their deaths covered a span of seventy years and included an eighteen-year-old undergraduate tragically killed in a road accident.

Dorothea Gray, Fellow of the College, and Professor Dame Ida Mann, and Emeritus Professor Dorothy Stuart Russell, both Honorary Fellows, would be sadly missed.

The President had been in correspondence with Mary Renault (Challans) shortly before her death, as she had hoped to contribute to the Centenary book.

It was nice to have Dr Busbridge at the meeting. She was to be congratulated on a splendid recovery from an operation.

The Minutes of the meeting held on Saturday, 25 June 1983, published in the Chronicle, were signed. There was no business arising from the Minutes.

President's Remarks. Since the last Annual Meeting, the Committee had met three times for its normal meetings, and had held an ad hoc meeting on 2 June 1984 to discuss the College Centenary Celebrations with Mrs Chitty, Chairman of the College Centenary Committee. Dr Wallis said that she would like first to thank Jeanette Cockshoot as Hon. Secretary, and Ann Ridler as Hon. Editor for their excellent work during the year. She also thanked Dr Penny Griffin for her work on the Centenary book, and all the Committee members, who had been most attentive and supportive throughout the year. Dr Wallis also expressed our special appreciation of Dr Green, the Governing Body Representative, who had regretfully felt obliged to retire at the end of this academic year because of her commitments as an examiner. The Committee had found her unfailingly helpful in their liaison with the College. She was to be replaced by Dr Esiri whom the Committee welcomed very warmly. The President said that special thanks were also due to the retiring members of the Committee.

These were Margaret Pelling, Elaine Fairless, through whose good offices the Association had held another successful London Sherry Party in 1983 at the Institute of Actuaries, and Susan Clear, who had been co-opted, but who was now eligible to serve a full term.

31

Miss Hobbs, who had served as a distinguished member of the Committee to 1982, had celebrated her eightieth birthday on 22 June, and the Committee had marked the occasion with flowers.

The main work of the Committee during the year had been planning the Association's Centenary projects and helping with the College Development Appeal. Firstly there was the book which Dr Griffin, general editor, would detail and which Macmillans had agreed to publish.

Secondly, the Committee had had an early etching of St Hugh's printed as a greetings card, an illustration of which was in the Chronicle. The President thanked the Senior Bursar, Mr Ian Honeyman, for arranging a float to launch the project, and Ann Ridler for lending the original. The designer was Peter Campbell. The cards were on sale here and now and could be purchased (35p each) during the weekend. Proceeds would go to the Development Appeal.

The College had set up a College Centenary Committee on which the Hon. Secretary represented the Association. Mrs Brenda Hall had been given the go-ahead to begin planning the floral decorations for the Centenary Gaudy. It was hoped that the Association would be able to put on an exhibition in the College to promote the book.

The Centenary Gaudy weekend would be 4-6 July 1986. The President had been asked to enquire whether anyone had donkeys or ponies for children's rides, and whether any members living in Oxford would be willing to make accommodation available over that weekend. People who were able to help in these ways were invited to contact the Hon. Secretary or other Committee member.

The promotion of more regional activities was an on-going project.

Anyone willing to organise one of these was invited to contact the Hon. Secretary. There was also a list of people who would be available to help other Senior Members (Chronicle, pages 83-85).

Finally the President apologised on behalf of the College and the Association for the fact that some enclosures were omitted when the Chronicle was sent out. Some people had not received a Gaudy invitation, and others had not received a Chronicle. There were piles of the relevant items on the table at the back of the hall for members to take.

There would be tea, wine and soft drinks available in the Wordsworth Room after the madeira in the Mordan Hall.

The President ended her remarks with a sincere vote of thanks to the College for all the hospitality and co-operation the ASM received.

The Principal. Madam Chairman, Members of the ASM: 1983-84 has been an eventful year in the College. The most outstanding honour paid to us in its course is the award of the DBE to Mary Warnock, our Senior Research Fellow, and her election as Mistress of Girton. We congratulate her warmly on this double coup, though we shall miss her sadly.

32

Mrs Marilyn Butler has been appointed to a University Lectureship in English Literature and has resigned her Tutorial Fellowship. She has been elected to a Senior Research Fellowship as from October 1985 when she will take up her new appointments. We have added to our number four new fellows—Dr Steven Cooper, University lecturer in Inorganic Chemistry, who is already with us; Mr John Warrack, who has been appointed to a University lectureship in Music; Mr Ian Page, University lecturer in Computation, and Dr Donald Schultz, who has been elected to the Chair of Mechanical Engineering. Mr Robert Crawford of Balliol College has been appointed to the Elizabeth Wordsworth Research Fellowship—his subject is T S Eliot—and Mr Horton has been appointed to the Rhys Davids Research Fellowship where he will carry on his researches in the history of trading in early medieval East Africa. Research scholarships have been awarded to two of our own members—Angela Rae in Geography and Debbie Capel in Astrophysics.

These scholarships have been made possible by the biggest single benefaction ever made to the College, a gift in 1983 of a little over a quarter of a million pounds made by an anonymous donor whose wife was an undergraduate here, and given for the purpose of endowing a tutorial fellowship in Mathematics to be named in honour of Ida Busbridge, and to establish a number of graduate research fellowships. This generous gift will enable us to increase our strength and competitiveness in the graduate field where we would very much like to recruit more members. Through the good offices of the same benefactor we have received an initial endowment by the Dee Corporation of Mrs Green's Fellowship in Chemistry. Dorothea Gray, whose death so sadly took place last July, left us a handsome bequest of her estate, some of which we have decided to use to establish a Classics research fellowship. Elizabeth Baigent, in her third year as a D Phil student in Geography, has been awarded a Leverhulme Fellowship. Katherine Dell (third year, Theology) has obtained a graduate award at St Cross. Mary Corrie (fourth year, Lit. Hum.), Susan Lawler (third year, Lit. Hum.) and Chantal Thompson (third year, Lit Hum.) have all been awarded Charles Oldham Classical Travelling Scholarships. Julia Bennett (fourth year, Modern Languages, German) has been awarded a British Council Scholarship to spend a year at the Humboldt University in Berlin. Juliet Vickery (third year Scholar, Zoology) has been awarded a Christopher Welch Scholarship. And finally Eleanor Tuten (second year, Modern Languages, German and French) has been awarded a Junior Heath Harrison Travelling Scholarship in German.

Among our Senior Members we would congratulate both Mrs Barbara Castle and Mrs Caroline Jackson on being elected to the European Parliament.

The JCR has distinguished itself on the river again. We were Head of the 33

river this year in the Women's division, while the second eight is now lying fourth in the top division.

Sadly we are losing two old and valued friends this summer—Evelyn Fox, who is retiring, and Gloria Kennedy, who has been College Secretary for so long. We shall miss both of them very much and they go with our gratitude and our warmest wishes. Mr David Whippell, our Chaplain, is also resigning on his appointment as house master at St Edmund's School.

The Development Appeal now stands at £1,600,000—a sum that makes me very hopeful that we shall reach our goal of £2,000,000 by the Centenary year. We are entering the last phase of the present appeal and I want at this point especially to thank all of you for your generous responses so far. It is a wonderful result and we do thank you for it.

I thank the year of '34 for its gift of stone benches and jardinières for the terrace. We are looking forward with excitement to our next Gaudy and I can assure you we are planning the Centenary celebrations with care and we hope with imagination.

Thank you all of you again. Mrs Green has asked me to tell you how much she regrets the necessity of her resignation as our representative on your Committee. She is examining Schools this year and for the next two, and could not, therefore, attend the Annual General Meeting.

May I welcome you all, and say how glad we are to have you here again.

Centenary Book. Dr Penny Griffin said that Macmillans were to publish the book. She had been gratified by the interest shown by several publishers.

She gave a brief outline of the plan of the book as follows: (1) a chapter by the Principal on women's education today; (2) a history of St Hugh's College written by Miss Betty Kemp: this would not be handled chronologically, but would reflect Miss Kemp's interest in the College personalities, such as Miss Rogers; (3) the definitive account, contributed by the Principal, of the incidents which had come to be known as 'the Row'.

There would then be a change of tack. The publishers were interested in the College sending out a questionnaire and also in the gathering of reminiscences. Such information would throw light on the background and lives of St Hugh's graduates, and answer such questions as why they chose St Hugh's and what they did after going down. This would be the first really substantial piece of research into women's education in this country; (4) reminiscences and personal views of the College decade by decade, assembled by Priscilla Stevenson with link passages by Miss Kemp; (5) actual facts resulting from the questionnaire analysed by Sarah Curtis; (6) Dame Mary Warnock crystal-gazing into the future of women's education.

It was hoped to use the example of St Hugh's as a case study against the wider background of university education over the past century.

Three thousand copies of the questionnaire and the brochure 'Ideas to 34

prompt reminiscences' were being sent out. Dr Griffin urged members to fill in the questionnaire and send their contributions as soon as possible, as 31 December 1984 was the deadline. Photographs and drawings would be useful also, as the book would have eight pages of photographs as well as line drawings. The publishers would allow the College a thousand copies at a greatly reduced price. There would be a subscription list and also the opportunity for St Hugh's members to purchase copies at a price well below the cost of about ÂŁ12 to the general public. The book would be published before the Centenary and would be on sale at the Centenary. In reply to a question, Dr Griffin said it would depend on sales whether the book went into paper-back. The publishers were not interested in a paper-back at this stage and there was not much difference in cost of production between hard-back and paper-back.

The President thanked those members who had served on the Committee to plan the book.

Other Centenary Activities. Dr Kennedy, Secretary of the College Centenary Committee, speaking also on behalf of Mrs Chitty, the Chairman, who was unable to be present, said that the general outline was now known. The thinking that had gone into it had three aims. These were to involve as many members of the College, academic and administrative, past and present, as possible, to give as good a time as possible to all concerned, bearing in mind the College's financial position, and to focus attention from outside on St Hugh's in summer 1986.

There would be events in Oxford which would involve St Hugh's members. These would include the book, the OUDS major production to be staged at St Hugh's, a concert in the Sheldonian Theatre performed by the London Mozart Players conducted by Jane Glover, a series of public lectures in Trinity Term in addition to the Bickley Memorial Lecture. A St Hugh of Lincoln octocentenary exhibition was to be mounted by the Bodleian Library and the College had been invited to participate.

Items of memorabilia would be on sale, including the book, a College rose to be produced by Mattocks, and a special shipment of madeira with an engraving of the College on the label.

The chief focus, however, would be on the hospitality in College. There would be a buffet supper at the end of Hilary Term for all present members and administrative staff. This would be followed by a firework display organised by the expert who arranged the Queen's fireworks. There would also be an entertainment given by the Principal for the majority of the College staff.

For the Gaudy weekend, 4-6 July 1986, numbers posed a difficulty because of the size of the dining-hall. The dinner would take place on the Friday and would be largely reserved for the ASM members, with priority 35

groups favouring those who came up in or before 1936 or those living abroad. Arrangements were not final. On Saturday, the principal event would be held. This would be a garden party for all members of the ASM and their guests, to whom tea would be served. The entertainment would probably include donkey rides, a silver band, and musical items by members of the JCR. It was hoped that Fellows would be able to be at home to former pupils during the evening. An informal meal would be served in College. There would be a thanksgiving service on Sunday at 12 noon in the University Church, and lunch afterwards in College. Transport would be arranged.

The President thanked Dr Kennedy. She went on to refer to the series of professional talks given by Fellows to the undergraduates and organised by Dr Esiri. This was a new venture. Five had already taken place. They covered a wide range of subjects, e.g. Dr Butler had spoken on 'English Literature and its problems', and Dame Mary Warnock on 'Applied Philosophy'. The meeting showed a firm interest, and the President said that the possibility of publishing some or all would be followed up.

Elections There would not be a ballot as only two nominations had been received for the three Committee vacancies. These were Mrs Susan Clear, who had been a co-opted member and was now eligible for election, and Mrs Brenda Hall. They were returned unopposed. The committee would co-opt a third member. They would serve for four years.

The President, Hon. Secretary and Editor would continue in office for a further two years.

Presentation to Miss Fox, College Matron In presenting 'Foxy' with a cheque from the ASM to mark her retirement, Dr Esiri offered her warmest wishes.

She recalled how, since 1962, Miss Fox's presence had been a great help to undergraduates, particularly to those from day schools. She was a friendly but not too fussy Matron. She knew when she was needed during a bout of 'flu or a broken engagement, but she also knew when to withdraw. Nothing was too much trouble for her and her memory was phenomenal. Dr Esiri thanked Miss Fox sincerely for her help over all these years.

In reply, Miss Fox thanked the Association for their generosity. She would certainly miss the undergraduates, but hoped to find something to fill the gap.

The Gaudy, 1984 The St Hugh's College Gaudy 1984 was an exciting event for me for two main reasons. This was the first time I had been able to attend, though certainly not for lack of trying. I had usually been too far away, or, when in England, it was never at the right date. Fortunately, as a resident abroad I belong to a permanent priority group, so could be reasonably sure of acceptance. The second reason was that I was able to share the growing 'Centenary Fever' on the spot, instead of having to follow everything from a distance. Obviously much thought and imagination are being given to the preparations, though we should not forget the sheer hard work put into the organisation of a normal Gaudy by the Committee of the Association of Senior Members, backed up by representatives of the College.

Although my own year was not well represented in numbers and I hope more will make an effort next time, I was exceptionally fortunate in finding three members with important functions.

A very good dinner was followed by interesting speeches. Mrs June Lancelyn Green, Adjudicator for Speech and Drama, in proposing the Toast of the Association, was as witty and entertaining as those of us who know her have come to expect. (June and I shared 'quarters' in Saville House for a year while St Hugh's was still being used as a wartime hospital). Her imitation of English as she heard it in her official capacity in Hong Kong was hilarious, and in a more serious vein, I think she expressed the opinion and the gratitude of all of us when she said that, as members of the Association, at least we don't feel that we are 'going it alone'. When we are able to meet we find we share problems of everyday family life and try equally to be worthy representatives of the College and of the University which have given us so much. In her reply Dr Helen Wallis illustrated some of the difficulties, past and present, in her own field of Geography, and we see how the place of women in the world is growing steadily in importance thanks to this kind of quiet determination and dedication.

Dr Jane A Glover proposed the Toast of the College. As a Senior Research Fellow of St Hugh's, Musical Director of Glyndebourne Touring Opera and Director of the London Mozart Players, she has obviously 'done well', very well indeed; she expressed her gratitude for the tolerance and indulgence she had found while an undergraduate at St Hugh's. To this I should like to add the gentle and wise guidance, never imposed but always there when needed. Unfortunately my own tutors are no longer alive, but I was lucky in having Dr Seaton as my moral tutor. I shall always be grateful to her for having continued to give thoughtful counsel even after I went down, when she still found time to keep in touch by letter and to see me on my visits to 37

Oxford before I went abroad. I feel that this is one of the very special benefits of the tutorial system from which we have all profited.

The Principal, in her reply to Dr Glover's speech, paid tribute to the dedication of the tutors, to the achievement of graduates, to benefactors and to all who have helped to give St Hugh's its essential role in women's education and in maintaining basic standards and values. Throughout the after-dinner speeches one was reminded constantly of the feeling of belonging to a family. This is all the more important at a time when stable institutions and in particular, family life, tend to be destroyed and are not replaced by new, lasting values.

I mentioned three members of my year. It was good to know that the editing of the book on St Hugh's is in the capable hands of Dr Penny Griffin who has never lacked ideas. Penny and I remembered the time when, as two of the 'college babies', allowed up at seventeen because of the War; we had special ration books entitling us to extra milk in our first term. Last, but by no means least, was my very good personal friend Jeanette Cockshoot, who for many years has served the Association so efficiently as Hon. Secretary. As requested, we were given rooms near each other, and I was able to appreciate the complete 'unflappability' of the Committee in the face of minor technical hitches which are inevitable when preparing such a full programme for so many people. Thanks to this smooth organisation we were able to meet other graduates informally throughout the Gaudy, for example at small tables over morning coffee on Saturday and for tea, coffee and wine before bed on Saturday night. For me the Gaudy ended before lunch on Sunday with a most enjoyable wine party, at the kind invitation of the Principal, in her beautiful house behind the College.

When I mentioned to a Cambridge friend in Rome that I was at last going to a College Gaudy he replied, certainly with intent to tease, "Oh, you mean a women's thrash". I looked at him in horror, made a scathing remark and confessed I'd never met this use of the word 'thrash'. My friends in Oxford assure me that it applies to a rather more rowdy type of meeting. I feel sure that however exhilarating the Centenary celebrations prove to be, we shall remember them with pride and pleasure.

Centenary Celebrations Last year we sent out with the Chronicle the first circular about our plans for the celebration of the College's Centenary, in 1986. When you read this, it will be only a little over a year away and we need as much information as you can give us about your participation, so that our plans match the numbers we can expect.

The weekend of 4 6 July 1986 will be packed with events, and that is when we hope there will be a memorable reunion, linking the years, at a variety of social gatherings. Here are our plans.

-

The Gaudy Dinner

—

Friday, 4 July at 7.30 pm

Priority will be given as usual to overseas visitors and on this occasion to matriculation years up to and including 1936. But please note that the dinner is not confined to those years and everyone is welcome to apply.

There will be a professional public address system and closed circuit television so that people seated in the annex to the Hall will be fully part of the occasion.

The Annual Meeting of the Association of Senior Members — Saturday, 5 July at 11 am The Garden Party — Saturday, 5 July 3-6 pm Your families will be welcome and we are making plans to keep children entertained. Everyone will be a guest of the College and we want to see as many old students as possible.

A Service of Thanksgiving will be held in the University Church on Sunday, 6 July at 12 noon. Transport will be provided. After the service, there will be luncheon in College.

On Saturday, 5 July, lunch and dinner will be available and the price will be kept as low as possible.

Tutors hope to see their old students and will be At Home for this purpose at various times during the weekend.

Invitations, with details of events and charges, will be sent out to all old members overseas in October 1985, and within the United Kingdom, in November 1985.

There are two other dates which old members living within reach of Oxford may like to note. On Friday, 14 March 1986 there will be a firework display at St Hugh's; and on Friday, 20 June 1986 Dr Jane Glover will conduct the London Mozart Players in an evening concert at the Sheldonian Theatre.

There will be permanent souvenirs of the centenary:

The ASM book, on the life and history of St Hugh's Malmsey wine, specially bottled, with a commemorative label A yellow rose, specially grown and named by Mattock Bros.

There was a good response to last year's circular, but we need advice from more of you to help with our planning. If you did not fill in last year's questionnaire, please do so on the blue form enclosed with the Chronicle, and return it to the Secretary of the Centenary Committee, Dr Barbara Kennedy (Fellow and Tutor in Geography).

M. B. Chitty, Chairman Centenary Committee

The Centenary Book—Reminiscences I would like to thank all those Senior Members who have been kind enough to send in their reminiscences, particularly those who have taken such time and care over compiling them from old letters and diaries, as well as from their own memories. Sadly, one Senior Member, Miss Muriel Holland (1913), who not only sent in reminiscences but also some photographs, died in January; but her photographs particularly, which were meticulously captioned, have been of great value.

From our oldest contributor, Miss Wallace, who matriculated in 1908, to the youngest (a contributor who only went down in Trinity term 1984 but who did not sign her name!), to all I would like to express our deepest gratitude. There is so much material that only extracts and selections can be included. If, after all your time and effort, you do not find your name, please forgive us and believe me when I say that every reminiscence has been of value to us in helping to build the picture of St Hugh's over the years that we present.

Penny Griffin General,Editor

A note from the Editor: Senior Members will be glad to know that the text of the book is now with the publishers. At the last meeting of the ASM Committee, from which Penny Griffin was unavoidably absent because of the snow, members wished particularly to record their thanks both to her for her sustained and heroic labour as general editor and to her husband, who most kindly added his efforts to ensure that the manuscript was delivered on time. The Association is greatly indebted to them.

Regional Events The Committee hopes that several regional events will be organised between now and the Centenary celebrations. Anyone interested in organising such an event is invited to write to the Hon. Secretary.

Elizabeth Francis Memorial Fund This Memorial Fund is being organised by a group of Miss Francis's former pupils, to found a named prize in her memory; they would like to thank those who have contributed. Several contributors have asked that the Fund should be made known to all Senior Members, not only those who read French. It has therefore been decided to leave the Fund open until October 1985. Cheques should be sent to Elizabeth Francis Memorial Fund, Barclays Bank, 71 Banbury Road, Oxford, OX2 6PJ.

The St Hugh's Greetings Card Members may like to know that copies of the greetings card with an etching of St Hugh's (illustrated on p. 39 of Chronicle No. 56) are still available from the Hon. Secretary, price 35p for card and envelope. Profits will go to the College Development Appeal.

Dorothea Helen Forbes Gray The news of Dorothea Gray's death took a long time to reach me in New Zealand, this other end of the earth from which she plucked me in 1935, to take my place in the first Honour Mods class she chose herself. It was her second year as tutor at St Hugh's. She was my tutor, my moral tutor and my house-mistress, as it were, at the Lawn: what an introduction to Oxford.

She lives in my glad and grateful memory and will, while I survive, as the Principal predicted in her Address at the Memorial Service.

One would never have guessed that it was only her second year as tutor and in charge of The Lawn. There was never anything uncertain about her; she was unmistakably in control, as a tall young cousin of mine found when he wandered into the hall and finding no-one about, rang the hand-bell which normally summoned us to breakfast (which in those days we ate with Miss Gray in the common room at The Lawn). I reached the landing in time to see Miss Gray emerge from her study like an avenging Fury, all swirling black gown and stick, and put him to abject rout.

She was always clear, direct and incisive: she pounced, but she had the gift of pointing out the error equally of one's ways and one's proses with such patent objectivity that one accepted her corrections without the least doubt of her goodwill. She wielded a healing knife. I was never the same after she rebuked my embarrassment over Sappho's Lesbian passion, in her Greek Anthology class, with "You really must overcome these public school prejudices": her swift sarcasm did a useful surgical job.

The Gray, as we called her then, inspired not only respect but awe in us at The Lawn. It was reported with wonder that she had climbed Snowdon, with her stick and polio-crippled legs; that she had dug at archaeological sites. We knew that she was a powerful canoeist; those of us whom she had invited to share her canoe on the Cherwell ached and wilted while she paddled tirelessly. Whatever she did, she did as if it were completely natural, with no hint of physical limitations overcome. This gave her courage quite another dimension: there was no self-regard in it. Her thrust was upon the world outside, with no backward look at where she had started from.

We respected and admired The Gray and we never took her for granted. It was with some trepidation that we invited her to our end-of-year entertainment at The Lawn. We knew that she had a sense of humour, although hardly of the cosy kind, and we were uncertain whether it would extend to acceptance, in the spirit in which it was offered, of Phoebe Llewellyn Smith's play, "The Immoral Tutor". What the immorality consisted in is lost to memory (those were comparatively innocent times) but to our joy she laughed and the year that none of us would forget ended happily.

48

her time at Oxford and wrote to the College "Nothing spectacular but forever grateful for the friendship and help of Miss Jourdain, Sir William Schlech and Miss Kirkcaldy". Her contemporaries would remember the reel she danced in Hall with her cousin Evelyn Ramsey and others. She was threatened with being sent down for failure to keep chapel, then regarded as evidence of residence. She was of course just in advance of her times.

In 1924 she married Dr A W Brown who had been badly wounded in 1915, and had two daughters and two grandsons all of whom survive her. One grandson is very reminiscent of the girl one knew at St Hugh's.

Margaret had exceptional vitality and zest for life, a delightful sense of humour, courage in adversity at which she would laugh with the phrase "such is life". She was a very happy person, generous in thought and deed.

She had an understanding and sympathy for the misforture of others which she hid under a mask of gaiety.

Following his retirement her husband once remarked that he was now known as Mrs Brown's husband, which illustrates well the respect and affection felt by her neighbours for many acts of kindness. Margaret has joined the great majority but her personality lingers on in her family, and in the memories of those to whom she gave the precious gift of friendship.

A.D.K.P.

Mary Alice McNeill The following is reprinted from The Irish Times of 16 November 1984: An Appreciation Miss Molly McNeill, who died in Belfast on 25th October, was in her day well known in literary and philanthropic circles in Belfast and Dublin. She was a striking personality, and much loved by a wide circle of friends.

Born in 1897, the eldest child of the late George Martin McNeill, she was educated at Richmond Lodge School and St Hugh's College, Oxford. She early developed a keen interest in the life of her native city and played a large part in the setting up of the Arellian Nursery School in Utility Street— the first Nursery School in Ireland. For many years she attended the Juvenile Court as a Children's Guardian, and was also a member of the Child Welfare Council. During the War years, her energies were given over to her work as a Borough Organiser of the WVS. Her understanding of Ireland's problem of the two traditions first grew out of the work of the Irish Christian Fellowship, and deepened as a founder member of the Irish Association. She became increasingly 50

to keeping house for her brother. I stayed often with her and I loved the blend of common-sense simplicity and unmistakable echoes of gracious living—not often found nowadays. She was a most generous and affectionate friend.

For six or seven years she suffered increasingly from bad eyesight and progressive rheumatism, but she was completely undaunted to the last; only a few months before her death she set off, with a friend even less fit than she was, on a holiday to the Greek islands—and thoroughly enjoyed it.

She died at the end of August 1984, following a coronary during the night. Most thankfully I was able to go, with Nan Donne, to her funeral and it was lovely to see the small church filled to capacity with her friends— mostly from the neighbourhood and including a group of the local Blind Association for whom she had worked so hard. In his address the ex-Vicar of Wilsford spoke especially of her faithfulness—to her friends, to her jobs, to those who worked for her and above all, in her own unobtrusive way, to her Church.

M.H.G.

Norah Iola Chelton Nora Chelton came up to St Hugh's to read History in 1931. She was known then as Norah Chmelnitzky, to her friends as 'Nicky' and to the Housekeeper at No. 82 Woodstock Road, where she spent her first year, as 'the lady in Room No. 14'. Her father was a Russian Jew and her mother a German Jewess; by religion Nicky was a devoted Christian Scientist. In many ways she was more English than the born English, steeped in the history and traditions of the country. She always wanted to teach and after getting her degree in History, she went on to Maria Grey Training College.

It was after that that her problems began. In the difficult employment circumstances of the 'thirties and with what the insular English then regarded as her 'outlandish' name, she did not even get interviews for the jobs for which she applied. Reluctantly she changed her name to 'Norah Chelton' and, then, well qualified as she was, the job situation changed dramatically. She took a post to teach History at Bingley Grammar School.

From there she went as a Lecturer to Matlock Training College and finally became Principal of Kenton College of Education, Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

She proved herself to be an excellent administrator, with a balanced judgment and a lively sense of humour. She was well equipped to understand the problems of students entering the teaching profession.

Nicky loved the North of England and while at Kenton bought a bungalow at Stannington, near Morpeth, to which she retired.

Anita Gregory (nĂŠe Kohsen) Dr Anita Gregory died on 7 November 1984, after a long illness. Born in Germany in June 1925, she and her family came to England in the 1930's when Hitler's persecution of the Jews was growing. She read PPE at St Hugh's, as an Exhibitioner, from 1945 to 1950.

She married Dr Clive Gregory, well known as an astronomer and physicist, and came to share his interest in scientific psychical research. For some years they collaborated in publishing a periodical, Cosmos. After his death in a road accident she taught for some time in a school so as to have the holidays free to spend with their two small daughters. Then in 1970 she became a lecturer, and from 1972 a Principal Lecturer at the Polytechnic of North London, where she continued to work until January 1984.

She did much careful psychical research, and in 1980 became Honorary Secretary to the Society for Psychical Research itself, and so continued till her health gave way. In 1983 she gained a PhD (Council for National Academic Awards) for a thesis on 'Problems in investigating psychokinesis in special subjects'. An earlier piece of work, now entitled The Strange Case of Rudi Schneider (involving spontaneous and experimental evidence for psychokinesis) is shortly to be published in the United States complete with all the critical apparatus, detailed notes, references, etc. which made it difficult for publishers in this country to accept. She edited the issue of the Society's Proceedings detailing experimental work with Matthew Manning.

Her energy, her determination, her grasp of detail contributed much of value to the Society.

Gertrude Margaret Stewart Simey Peg Simey came up to Oxford to read Modern Greats (as it then was) full of enthusiasm for both University and College life; perhaps because she was an only child she was particularly outgoing and welcoming to every kind of person: she had, indeed many friends. She became a successful JCR Treasurer and then President, responsibilities which she much enjoyed.

When she went down she was called to the Bar, worked for the Charity Organisation Society and was a director of the family firm — a tea company owning plantations in Malawi which she periodically visited until she retired at 65 or so.

While at College she had said "If I'm not married by the time I'm 40 I shall adopt," and adopt a baby girl she did a month before her fortieth birthday; two years later a boy, then another boy. Her life's work was bringing up 53

these three quite different children with very great success, love and courage; they became one close-knit family, they married and have children and now Peg, the pivot of the family, is missed very much indeed.

She always kept in touch with many of our year, brought her family to stay with us and had many to stay with her wherever she happened to be living.

She was a splendid and unusual friend and we miss her sadly.
