Report and Accounts 2015/16 Report and Accounts 2015/16 Presented to the members of the Staple Inn Actuarial Society at its Annual General Meeting on 18 October 2016 SIAS Report & Accounts 2015/16 SIAS: Who We Are History & Role The Staple Inn Actuarial Society was originally founded in 1910 as the Institute of Actuaries Students' Society. Its original objectives were to assist students in preparing for actuarial exams and to provide a forum to practice public speaking. Over time SIAS has evolved to become a body with over 5,500 members around the world, to both: Support the professional interests of younger members of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (“IFoA”), particularly students and those with up to five years post-qualification experience. Act as the regional actuarial society for London and South East England. Objectives The objectives of SIAS are: To provide opportunities, particularly for younger members of the IFoA, to: o attend and participate in open discussions of professional interest; o prepare papers and/or presentations on topics of professional interest; o encourage social contact with each other; and o share experiences of the IFoA’s education program. Help members in their professional development. Represent the interests of SIAS members. Social & Programme SIAS arranges a wide variety of activities, both professional and social events, allowing members to develop professionally and network with fellow actuaries and members of the actuarial community. The busy social and programme calendars include such highlights as the Annual Ball and Jubilee Lecture respectively. View the complete upcoming list of events on our website here. Charity SIAS members have the opportunity to give back to the community through introducing a career within the actuarial profession to both school and university students. These sessions also support the development of volunteers’ presentation skills.

In their long and illustrious history these Inns have discharged important func- tions in the domains of legal education and professional discipline. As the depository of splendid professional traditions which date back to the Middle Ages, they were for a long time the guardian as well as the gateway to the higher English Bar.

  • Historic Character Map of Holborn, London
    HOLBORN: Walking Tour HOLBORN: This short 1km tour investigates the inherited character of an area of Holborn in London. It highlights elements, both new and old, that help create a special sense of place. Explore the streets, buildings and spaces to understand the story of how and why the area’s character has developed the way it has. In turn, you can look to the area's future, considering how modern developments are responding to their historic surroundings. The different approaches that have taken is useful for thinking about issues of design in context, planning and regeneration. You can navigate the tour by following the map and the key points along it. Short descriptions with images are provided for each. Please note Gray’s Inn Court is a private space and parts have restricted opening hours. INTRODUCTION Holborn is an intriguing and ancient place, called home by some of London’s most famous residents, including the author Charles Dickens. Some of the earliest evidence for human activity in the city was found here, in 1679, when a 350,000 year old hand axe was discovered on Gray’s Inn Road. It’s along this street, at the junction of Baldwin’s Gardens that the tour begins. A NOTE ABOUT SAFETY! The tour follows a number of busy streets in Holborn, and special care should be taken when crossing them. Many view points along the tour are taken from the carriageways themselves and each point does not necessarily present a safe place to stop. As such, find a safe place to pause before continuing with the tour.

The exhibition is not complete : within the available space we can only illustrate the story of the past, but we trust that the exhibition, and this catalogue of it, may serve as some guide to any who may wish to read that story. The exhibition relates primarily to the Institute of Actuaries. An important part of the field is represented by the sister body, the Faculty of Actuaries, which was formed in Edinburgh in 1856.

    157 CORRESPONDENCE (To the Editors of the Journal of the Institute of Actuaries) DEAR SIRS, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Staple Inn A reference in a recent leading article in The Times has led me to search out some remarks made about Staple Inn by the American writer Nathaniel Haw- thorne. They occur in Passagesfrom the English Note-Books of Nathaniel Haw- thorne, published posthumously in London in two volumes in 1870. There is a passing allusion to Hawthorne’s remarks in Archibald Day’s well-known Presidential Address (J.I.A. XXVII,28), but it is thought that they will be new to most members of the Institute and that it may be of interest to record them in the Journal. It is a coincidence that 1870 was also the year of publication of Dickens’s posthumous Mystery of Edwin Drood in which occurs the description of Staple Inn (also quoted in Day’s Address) that has become familiar to members on account of its being reproduced in the Institute Year Book. Hawthorne lived from 1804 to 1864, and is probably best known in this country as the author of the children’s book Tanglewood Tales. He was United States Consul in Liverpool from 1853 to 1857, and it was during this period that the EnglishNote-Books were written. (There have also been published American and Italian Note-Books.) They are in diary form and it seems that they were not originally intended for publication. There are two references to Staple Inn; they are to be found (in the 1870 edition) in Vol.

The American lawyer who can view the Inns of Court and the Temple unmoved by stirring and often half-forgotten memories, has no need for foreign travel. In these surroundings the steady roar of the world's greatest city cannot divert the mind trained to an appre- ciation of the common law from the inspiration given to tower and casement and tomb-slabs and paving stones by the generations of lawyers who here have studied and worked in the gladsome light of jurisprudence. So alluring a trail of thought, running back to the very shadows of the middle ages, can be inspired in the mind of the English-speaking lawyer nowhere else, even amidst the ruins of ancient Rome, where were the beginnings of the earlier civil law.

  • Final Report
    Chancery Lane Today Chancery Lane 15 4. Chancery Lane Today The Street Today The wealth of architectural heritage and the intimacy of the streets and courts that has always been characteristic of the area remain today. The larger landmark buildings such as Lincoln’s Inn, The Maughan Library (former Public Records Offi ce), The Law Society and buildings such as Chancery House, Stone Buildings and 5 to 7 Chancery Lane create a strong almost imposing structure to the street form. This historic structure has been further emphasised by changes that have occurred since the beginning of the 20th century when many of the fi ner grain buildings such as the tenement houses, shops and bars have been replaced by larger offi ce blocks. These newer buildings refl ect the existing but much older built form which generally ranged from 4 - 6 storeys high. Most of the buildings tend to form a consistent line at the back of the pavement emphasising the curve of the street. Due to its linear nature the street offers long views which are punctuated by the red brick façade of Lincoln’s Inn, the neo-gothic towers of the Maughan Library and the columned façade of the Law Society. There are also many interesting short views from Chancery Lane to for example the gardens of Staple Inn and the former Patent Offi ce, now 25 Southampton Buildings, the classical façade of Stone Buildings and the Victorian Gothic Royal Courts of Justice. Of great signifi cance is the varied and often very decorative roofscape, in particular the chimneys, towers, turrets, cupolas and balustrades.
