We welcomed new colleagues: Professor Marion Durand as Fellow in Ancient Philosophy, and as JRFs Dr. Yusen Yu (the first holder of the James Legge Memorial JRF in Comparative Aesthetics and Art History), Dr. Vidya Narayanan and Dr Méadbh Brosnan (Cullen JRF). Dr. Bernardo Ballesteros joined us as Research Fellow in Classics. It was a pleasure to have the company of our Visiting Fellows (the Hon. Justice Brian Preston and Professor Elzbieta Witkowska-Zaremba) along with that of our Visiting Scholars (Dr. Colin King, Dr. Amelia Worsley and Professor Sidney Shapiro). Katherine Baysan joined the College as Outreach and Admissions Officer in December 2019, and our outreach work was further enhanced by the arrival of Laura Jackson during the summer of 2020 in the new role of Assistant Outreach Officer. Other new members of staff were Mandi Sutton (Head Housekeeper), George Danescu (Kitchen Assistant), Fidelia DaConceiao and Azzizat Abolade (Scouts) and Chris Ede (Yardman). Significant Corpus anniversaries were also celebrated for two valued members of the College community: David Leake, College Gardener, completed 40 years at Corpus, and Rachel Clifford, Academic Registrar, passed the 25-year milestone. Amongst our departures and retirements were some longstanding members of the College community. The Development Office saw the near-simultaneous retirements of Nick Thorn and Sarah Salter, after nineteen and ten years of service respectively. Nick was the first ever Development Director at Corpus: he read history here (1988), and returned to the College in 2001; Sarah joined in 2010 as Head of Alumni Relations. Between them they have built up and I ended last year’s President’s Report meditating on the process of “re-thinking” as an intellectual sustained a warm and close-knit community of Corpus alumni and they will be much missed. and institutional obligation.

This book cannot be expected to please everybody, and it makes no attempt to conciliate those who prefer sentiment to truth, or who allow their reading of historical events to be distorted by present-day controversies, whether ecclesiastical or political. In that respect it tries to live up to the dictum of Samuel Butler that 'he excels most who hits the golden mean most exactly in the middle'.

Government archivists serve the interests of government and keep the records of governmental activities: war, diplomacy, taxation, legal proceedings, utility regulation, and welfare programs. Business archivists hold records of production, investment, patenting, marketing, and employment. Religious archivists are responsible for the documentation of clerical activities, vital statistics of in- stitutions that record the hatching, matching, and dispatching. Academic archivists retain documentation on teaching, research, public service, and the acculturation of youth.
