The policy consequences of this consultation are not certain, though they are likely to be evident by the time of next year’s report. What is already plain, however, is that it signals yet another step towards the “marketisation” of higher education, including the likely arrival of “new providers” whose declared purpose is to increase competition, deliver more utilitarian teaching, drive up standards and drive down prices. The chief proposal is the idea of a “Teaching Excellence Framework” that will aim to rank universities by the quality of their pedagogy and supposedly help student consumers in finding value for money. This is not the place to dilate on the probability that the TEF will impose a burdensome new regime on universities while doing little or nothing to improve the quality of teaching. But it is hard to see that it will bring any benefit to Oxford in general or Corpus in particular, where the unique tutorial system and regular, frequent meetings with academic supervisors provide an education designed to do much more than prepare undergraduates for the world of employment. 3 The Pelican Record If some are thinking, “Well, he would say that, wouldn’t he?”, it is worth contemplating the academic performance of this year’s undergraduates. While largely architects of their own success, they have all enjoyed the tailored tutorial attention for which colleges are designed and for which Corpus, as one of the smallest, is especially well equipped. Several of the most outstanding results this summer were achieved by Finalists who had had to intermit their studies for reasons of health and whose return to Corpus required particular pastoral support from tutors. This was not the relationship of customer and provider; nor was it one that would have been improved by the imposition of a TEF. Of the sixty-six students who sat Finals, over a third secured Firsts; 89 per cent were placed in the top two classes. This put us tenth – out of thirty – in the Norrington Table. (It has to be said that the Table has become a measure of insignificant differences: by way of illustration, last year’s top college fell this year to twenty-fifth, but still boasted 30 per cent Firsts and 59 per cent Upper Seconds.) Prize winners in the Final Honours Schools were Harry Begg (Gibbs Prize for Distinguished Performance in English); Zuzanna Bien (Gibbs Prize for her Experimental Psychology Research Project); Patrick Meyer Higgins (Gibbs Prize for the best First in Biological Sciences); Il-Kweon Sir (Comparative Philology Prize for the best performance in Philology and Linguistics); Hannah Lucas (Gibbs Prize for Distinguished Performance in English, and Charles Oldham Shakespeare Prize for the best performance in the Shakespeare paper); Cora Salkovskis (Gladstone Prize for the best undergraduate thesis in History); Olivia Thompson (Arnold Ancient

STARRING OLIVIER AWARD WINNING ROGER ALLAM AND NANCY CARROLL AS GLYNDEBOURNE FOUNDER JOHN CHRISTIE AND HIS WIFE AUDREY MILDMAY. STRICTLY LIMITED RUN MUST END SATURDAY 30 JUNE. Audiences have just five weeks left to see David Hare’s critically acclaimed new play The Moderate Soprano, about the love story at the heart of the foundation of Glyndebourne, directed by Jeremy Herrin and starring Olivier Award winners Roger Allam and Nancy Carroll. The production enters its final weeks at the Duke of York’s Theatre where it must end a strictly limited season on Saturday 30 June. The previously untold story of an English eccentric, a young soprano and three refugees from Germany who together established Glyndebourne, one of England’s best loved cultural institutions, has garnered public and critical acclaim alike. The production has been embraced by the Christie family who continue to be involved with the running of Glyndebourne, 84 years after its launch. Executive Director Gus Christie attended the West End opening with his family and praised the portrayal of his grandfather John Christie who founded one of the most successful opera houses in the world. First seen in a sold out run at Hampstead Theatre in 2015, the new production opened in the West End this spring, with Roger Allam and Nancy Carroll reprising their original roles as Glyndebourne founder John Christie and soprano Audrey Mildmay.
