ALUMNI ASSOCIATION NEWSLETTER 2016 P RESI D ENT ’S F OREWOR D My Presidential predecessors in their forewords to the Newsletter have written eloquently on the considerable changes to the College and in student life and activities since they were up. I can only echo their words. This past year has seen the completion and opening of the now world -acclaimed Heong Art Gallery and of Battcock Lodge centred on First Court. Both will add materially and culturally to the life of the College and its members. More will be said on these elsewhere. Keith Guthrie, the then Master, told us, the freshmen of 1965, that we were now and would forever after be members of the College, either in residence or no longer in residence. It is this concept that the Alumni Association promotes. The Alumni Association is there to foster and maintain the links between alumni and with the College. I have been privileged to have been asked to coach Downing crews every year since 1970. I think I can say that I have had a more continuous association with the College’s student activities and life than most, if not all, of the College’s current Governing Body! Those I coached mainly left academia and entered into varied careers in the wider world. This causes me to speculate on what happens to alumni when they graduate. Was their degree of great significance in what they have achieved? Did they or were they encouraged to take advantage of and benefit from the College’s varied extra-curricular activities so that they have had a more fulfilled life? What do they think now of their time at Downing for good or ill? In essence do they still feel they are members of the College? The College needs the continuing loyalty of old members. “As the current level of education funding is inadequate, all development depends, in effect, on the recognition by former students of the value of their own College experience, the importance of research and their willingness to ensure that future students can benefit from the same level of individual supervision and pastoral care” (The Governing Body’s Report 2014/15). The successful conclusion of the Catalysis campaign shows that value has been recognised in that manner by many alumni. I understand that of the 9,000 alumni now alive some 36% have given to the College at some point. This is really an excellent result and those involved, particularly the past and present Masters, the Bursar and Gabrielle Bennett and her team, are to be warmly congratulated. It is important to recognise that those now being admitted to the College should be encouraged to feel the same loyalty to the institution and to have the potential to contribute in the future. The involvement of the Alumni Association through its Alumni Student Fund and other support to current activities is one way in which the current students can be made to feel part of 6 ALUMNI ASSOCIATION NEWSLETTER 2016 a wider community spanning all alumni. Naturally those teaching and having care of their charges have a similar responsibility. In answer in part to the questions I raised above, the Year Representatives’ reports show the wide variety of achievements, activities and personal experiences of alumni. I am sure they are read with interest and possibly amusement by contemporaries. We are grateful to them for providing such good copy! The Association’s Merchandising Committee led by Kate Dyer works extremely hard in selecting, ordering and selling bespoke items with the profits going to the Alumni Student Fund. Frank Weiss has been a mainstay of this operation for many years and it is a fitting recognition of his great contribution that the Executive Committee are to propose that he be elected a Vice-President of the Association at the AGM. The Fund provides valuable and targeted assistance to individual students to further their studies and lives at Downing. The Association and its committees is superbly administered by its ever efficient and patient Secretary Barrie Hunt (also Editor of this Newsletter). Norman Berger looks after the finances of the Association with prudence and great care. I am delighted that my predecessor Karen Storey has allowed herself to be co-opted to the Executive Committee to continue in the variety of roles that she has undertaken with the merchandising in the past. I am very grateful to all of those mentioned above and to all my fellow Executive Committee members for their dedication and support over the year. It has been most rewarding and really enjoyable. On a personal note, I was extremely honoured and humbled by the most generous gesture of the Segreants, current members of the DCBC and others to have had a rowing eight named “Leo Judd” which was “given” to me at my 70th Celebration Dinner in Hall last September.

  • From the JCR
    From the JCR Issy Stephens, a Chemistry student in her third year at St John’s and a member of the Steering Group, gives an update on how the JCR has been championing women’s issues 40 years ago the first handful of women joined the Junior Common Room of St John's College. Following those trailblazers that entered a man's world, a lot has changed for the life of women in the JCR. We now have a designated Women’s Officer who makes sure that life is no more expensive for women at St John's than it is for men. This includes providing free monthly bags of sanitary products and reimbursements for pregnancy tests. Environmental issues are important to the student body of St John’s, so all sanitary products are organic. The Women’s Officer also organises fortnightly women's lunches, and a recent JCR motion has made all free lunches in college vegetarian to minimise our impact on the planet. The catering team have really responded to this and the variety of vegan and vegetarian meals has increased exponentially. There are, of course, men's lunches too! On 21st February many members of the JCR attended the annual Women's Dinner, which celebrates all the women of St John’s. It was a special event with an incredible atmosphere with different women from all walks of life coming together. In sport, our women's teams have gone from strength to strength. The last time St John's women's football team was seen in the Cuppers final was 2008.

  • Year in Review 2018
    Year in Review 2018 International Neuroethics Society Message from the President I was honored to become President of the International Neuroethics Society in November 2017 and to have a chance to build on the excellent work of my predecessors, Judy Illes, Barbara Sahakian, and Steve Hyman. I set out three goals for my two years as President: • To increase opportunities in the Society for INS members • To boost the public role of the INS in discussions, scholarly and public, of neuroethics and • To increase INS membership. I am pleased to report that we have increased the opportunities for members to take part in the Society’s activities with new committees and task forces. We have reached out to the public through, for example, our public event at the Annual Meeting on ‘My Brain Made Me Buy It? The Neuroethics of Advertising’ and our essay competition in which our members were invited to write for the lay reader. Building our membership, however, has been a little more challenging. Neuroethics is in some ways a niche field but with advances in brain research raising ever more social and ethical dilemmas, it is vital that scientists, philosophers and clinicians become involved. I am eager to get more regional INS meetings, giving opportunities for members to get together apart from the one annual meeting and to spread the word about neuroethics. We have made good progress here in 2018 with events in Oxford, UK; Milwaukee, USA; and Sydney, Australia. We have been developing new partnerships with other like-minded organizations and participating in conferences around the world.

  • Hawks, Ospreys and Students Union Unite for Sport
    EASTER 2009 Hawks, Ospreys and Students Union unite for Sport Tom Chigbo, President of CUSU 2009-10, writes:: 800 Years With No Sports Centre Reading recent editions of The Hawk evokes conflicting emotions. First, pride. It serves as a fine reminder of the excellent sporting tradition of Cambridge University. From the famous names who continue to compete at the highest level, to the thousands of students, coaches and volunteers who ensure that quality sport is played every day at University, College and recreational level in Cambridge. Nevertheless, as readers of this newsletter, you will be more than familiar with the urgent need for a University Sports Centre. Indeed, it is probably a source of great disappointment, as for years you have seen this noble ambition met with so many false starts. After all, land and planning permission (which has since been renewed) were acquired in West Cambridge back in 1999. Fully-costed designs and specifications along with a budget for the running costs (the sports centre can be self funding) already exist. Some of you may even recall the McCrum report of 1973, which originally highlighted the need for centralised University sports facilities. In fact, further research has shown that even our Victorian predecessors had identified this necessity, shown in an article in the Cambridge Review of 1892. However, time has not proved to be a great healer. The absolute necessity of a University sports centre has not Proposed Sports Centre, Perspective sketches diminished over the years. Instead, it continues to grow. It grows each year with the rising cost of pool hire, now so great that the Swimming and Water Polo Club cannot afford a coach.
