Faced with such of their fears.

Captaining Rugby Keble graduate students Tatiana Cutts (DPhil Law 2010) and Jacob Taylor (MSc Cognitive Evolutionary Anthropology 2013) were both chosen to captain Blues Rugby – Tatiana ended her captaincy of the Women’s teams in 2014 while Jacob has taken the helm of OURFC from 2014. Here are their reflections.

Tatiana Cutts Taking on captaincy was one of the best and worst decisions I have made so far. It was an incredible year: we began with 7 returning players and ended with 40; we lost our first game 91- 0 and very nearly beat the same team 2 months later (they even accused us of cheating: quite the compliment); from near-broke, we netted a profit of £30,000; BOTH our teams won Varsity. A reporter asked me how I felt about those results. The truth? Exhausted. I had come to define myself by the squad: its successes, yes, but also the galling start-of-season losses; the fears, doubts, hopes and disappointments of the players, and the fight against the appalling apathy with which women’s sport is widely confronted. And as it turned out, that took everything I had. But you know what? I’d do it all over again, because those girls are my daily inspiration. You want to see courage? Watch a squad of young women, most of whom are completely new to the game, play their hearts out against the team of internationals that UWIC field against us bi-annually. It’s humbling.

Jacob Taylor It is a huge honour to be elected as OURFC captain by my peers, and I am excited by the challenge ahead. Like every other year, we are currently making our way through the foothills of an epic journey. I am at times anxious and afraid, but I am also spurred on by the friendships and spirit already forming in the player group. This year we commemorate the 55 fallen Blues who lost their lives in WWI. In a generation so estranged from the immediacy of violent conflict, I feel it is very important that we remind each other of the sacrifices made in a not-too-distant past. These sacrifices - made on real battlefields with real life and death consequences - remind me that the privilege of leading the team to this year’s Varsity Match is highly significant, and the opportunity to do so must be cherished. I am very grateful for the support I have received from Keble College in this regard. Varsity match tickets can be purchased at www.thevarsitymatch.com

Coaches did look for “raw talent” elsewhere, but they saw this as a risk.

Horror stories allow them to become professional rugby players: their households about one particular Fijian player who was regularly inexplicably absent where they were raised; a club in Suva where they train whilst hoping from training and matches circulated as warnings against recruiting for opportunities overseas; in the cafés and boardrooms where scouts Fijians. Several coaches had policies of limiting the number of foreign and coaches decide who will be recruited, and how much each person players in their squads just to mitigate this risk. is worth; at the New Zealand high schools where many young men make their first move overseas; at amateur clubs in Australia and New Zealand where they display their skills; and, finally, at professional clubs in Australia, Britain and New Zealand where many pursue their careers. At each location I investigated how these men regarded their lives, opportunities and obligations, and how they were regarded by others. I was particularly interested in any dissonance between the practices, beliefs and values which people self-reported, and those which I observed as they lived, trained and worked.

The frictions between dispersed locations are a central concern of any study of globalized industries. Thought of as an industry (rather than a sport) rugby shares many features with other highly-skilled labour markets, such as the large salaries and high levels of global mobility. However, it also poses specific social problems. Careers are short; many people come from impoverished backgrounds; getting a contract Players training in Suva, Fiji requires years of training and a certain amount of luck; success rates are low; those who succeed can experience unparalleled levels of fame As an anthropologist I am fascinated by these expectations of and respect in their communities; and, those who fail often are left professionalism.

Many of their cultural traditions are not forego lunch because of a lack of resources. I argue that this level of supported within clubs. For instance, Fijian attempts to respect the sacrifice can only be explained in social terms.

A Lodgings early on in the first term where she told them that it might straw vote was taken to test the strength of opinion and GB were be an uphill battle to start with and that they were to approach her on resoundingly in favour, though slightly more so for female Fellows anything they felt uncomfortable about. It was at this meeting that than for female students. By the end of that term it was resolved some issues were raised, and Liz particularly remembers the request that membership of the College would be open to women as Fellows, for long mirrors in their rooms! postgraduate and undergraduate students.

Early in 1977 GB agreed to amend Clause 3 of the College Statutes which included the phrase, ‘no woman shall be a member of the College’, and the Law Fellows, Jim Harris and Philip Capper, were asked to consider the implications of the Sex Discrimination Act. The proposed changes to the Statutes were sent for approval by the Privy Council and later that term it was decided to admit women students as soon as possible after permission was granted. Approval by Her Majesty the Queen in Council was received in February 1978 which made it possible to open admissions in December that year to women as well as men. In October 1979, 8 graduates and 26 undergraduates became the first female students at Keble.

Surprisingly there is no reference to having women in College in the GB minutes until May 1978 when the question of separate changing rooms for women at the Sports ground was discussed. It was decided the following year to convert a garage and adjacent store in the sports pavilion into changing rooms for a sum not exceeding £6,000!

Though little was recorded in GB minutes, Fellows at that time and some of the first female students remember other practical changes that were necessary for co-residency. Both Liz (Wilkes) Beattie (1979) and Martin Oldfield (new Fellow in Engineering) recall the installation of locks to bathroom doors and the end to a free for all in the bathrooms especially after rugby and rowing.

Regular, affordable donations are key to prizes each year. the strength of the Talbot Fund allowing Keble to plan ahead we did it!

The 50:50 Challenge

During 2013-14 Keble was set a considerable challenge by two Old Members: to increase overall alumni participation (the percentage of Old Members who have made a gift to Keble) from 41% to 50%. In essence, this required 774 new alumni donors across the year. The challenge came with an incentive of £50,000 hence the 50:50 Challenge. In July this year, with only days to spare, we reached that target and by 31 July alumni participation reached to 51%.

In order to achieve this astonishing result, we increased the number of telethons, implemented an email campaign across May, June and July and sought support from new donors at events in Trinity Term including the new Garden Party for Young Alumni on the Saturday of Eights Week (pictured). The latter was a great success and we look forward to seeing you back again next year. Underpinning this result is the accumulation of effort from Year Group Representatives, student callers, JCR Leavers, and you, our Old Members – thank you!

2014 JCR Leavers Gift Young alumni, the most recent beneficiaries of support from Old Members, have played a pivotal role in the recent increase in participation in the Talbot Fund. In Trinity 2013, the JCR voted to opt-in to making a gift of £20 on battels as finalists. The 2013 JCR Leavers threw down the gauntlet to their successors with over 80% participation. Remarkably that figure was topped when 86% of 2014 JCR Leavers made their first gift to the Talbot Fund in July this year and became honorary members of the Talbot Society. This level of participation from our youngest alumni is truly appreciated (they will of course receive a Keble brick when we see them back for their Degree Day) and is vital in strengthening support for future students.

20 The Keble Review 2014 Fundraising Summary

2013-14 has been a milestone year for the Alumni and Development Office. We are very proud that we can now say that the majority of Keble alumni have made a gift to College. It was a year of positive 51% progress in many aspects with £1.345million raised in philanthropic income and £1.892million secured in pledges and new funds. This indication of a continuation of support combined with the significant increase in participation, and our highest ever cash receipts for the 41% 40% Talbot Fund at £808k is very encouraging indeed. 38% 36% We are also celebrating the completion of our campaign to endow 34% the senior Law Fellowship, currently held by Professor Ed Peel. The Clarendon Harris Law Fellowship, named in memory of Professor Jim Harris, has been secured by donations and pledges from 56 alumni and friends totalling £1.2million. This sum has been augmented by £800k from the University’s Clarendon Teaching Fund to reach the target of £2million required to endow the post in perpetuity. 2013/14 2008/09 2009/10 2010/11 2011/12 2012/13 Dr James Goudkamp joined Professor Peel in 2013 and Law is once % Participation (proportion of alumni who who alumni of (proportion Participation % College) to donation a made ever have again a two-fellow subject at Keble.

This has been an extra, unexpected boost to the Talbot Fund. Even those students who excel in their undergraduate studies find it very difficult to obtain funding for postgraduate work. Increasing graduate funding is an important priority and we are extremely pleased to report that The Stonehouse Educational Trust agreed to fund two graduate students per year for the two Centres for Doctoral Training with which Keble is involved, associated with Maths and Chemistry. The Trust has pledged support over the full 8 year term of the project and this gives us the capacity to recruit the very Talbot Society best young researchers in these areas.

21 Talbot Fund Impact

Talbot Fund income directly supports individual students. This year, over 240 bursaries, scholarships and academic prizes were awarded. For the individual this can mean make or break in terms of ability to take up their place at Keble, the financial wherewithal to attend academic conferences, buy essential books or equipment and the freedom to participate fully in extra-curricular activities in College and the University. Some of their stories are told here.

Studying Chemistry has not always been easy (particularly with long hours in the lab spent wondering what life would be like as an arts student!) but I have found myself increasingly enjoying the course as it has progressed. During the summer, I hope to undertake a research project in the Chemistry Department. The award of the prize will help me meet some of the costs associated with doing this and so for this, again, I am hugely grateful.
