2 MAGDALENE MATTERS A Facelift for Magdalene by steven morris (2007), senior bursar

The buildings forming the main entrance to the College and facing directly onto Magdalene Street have been subject to modifications over the centuries and yet they maintain their original fifteenth and sixteenth century architectural feel, with the gates themselves dating from 1585.

No significant restoration works on this principal element of the College’s estate has taken place for fifty years when during 1964–1965 the chimney stacks were removed, new window frames were added and major re-pointing of the masonry was undertaken, superintended by the architect S E Dykes Bower. Since then the brick façade and stone window surrounds have steadily become dirty and suffered from erosion. Likewise, the oak gates looked weary and were beginning to show serious signs of weather damage, particularly towards the lower level, and the hinges were starting to fail.

Entering the College on a daily basis meant that the need to undertake some important restorative works pricked one’s conscience regularly and thus a two-year plan to rectify the decades of wear and tear was devised. The first phase, which was Top left clockwise: awaiting restoration; the hand carved stone sections of the window carried out this past summer, involved frame; the College restored; the façade clad in scaffold during the facelift. the temporary removal of the gates and transportation to a local joinery repaired by expert hand-carving of they have surpassed expectations as firm’s workshop.

Despite the chilly weather, he was given a warm welcome by Although the Joint Centre for History and Economics several groups during a busy and varied week.

6 MAGDALENE MATTERS Building on a Solid Foundation

Magdalene College’s foundation dates back to 1428, but the Magdalene College Foundation is of considerably more recent origin, tracing its beginning to 2012. Following its incorporation as a not-for-profit company, it has completed its first year of operation with gratifying results for the College.

The Foundation evolved from Magdalene in America, which was formed under articles adopted in 2003 ‘to strengthen bonds of friendship and support between Magdalene College and its members who are resident in North America’. MAm, as it has been commonly called, sponsored dozens of dinners, drinks receptions, and lectures in the US and Canada during the ensuing decade, reconnecting over 250 alumni and their spouses with the College and with one another while sparing them the inconvenience of transatlantic travel (which became the burden of Masters and Fellows who committed the time and energy to attend the various gatherings).

A common topic at those events was the College’s need for new sources of financial support, particularly as a consequence of changes in educational funding in the UK. In response to both the needs of the College and the desires The Master and Robert Chartener on the day of his admission as of alumni to help, the MAm board investigated the possibility a Fellow Commoner, 9th October 2014. of establishing a new charity to enable and encourage US residents to make tax-efficient contributions to Magdalene. • Because the Foundation is run by alumni volunteers, its operating costs are extremely low With the support of the College, several alumni volunteers • Separate donations and the College’s development formulated plans to establish the Magdalene College budget cover the Foundation’s modest costs, which Foundation. Because legal work had to be done, Curtin means that 100 percent of all gifts benefit the College Winsor III (1986) generously donated the funds to cover all of the initial costs; sadly, Curt died at the end of 2012 and barely The founding members of the Magdalene College saw the fruits of his beneficence.

7 MAGDALENE COLLEGE CAMBRIDGE COASTAL FLOODS by dr tom spencer (1973)

What a winter it was in the British Isles last year: giant waves and catastrophic sea flooding seen along southern and western coasts; the persistent inundation of the Somerset Levels; and the flooding of the Severn, Thames and other rivers in southern England in the wettest winter since 1776. The sequence of 12 major storms that ran through until the middle of February 2014 kicked off with a major storm surge on the east coast of England on 5 December 2013 – the night our Honorary Fellow Nelson Mandela passed away. Here Dr Tom Spencer, Magdalene’s Director of Studies in Geography, and Director of the Cambridge Coastal Research Unit, describes that event and what we have learnt from it.

Once again, this report gives me an opportunity to express our thanks directly and publicly to all whose generosity continues to enhance the life of our College. Our priority remains student support, and we are happy to say that levels of giving directed to this goal are as impressive as ever.

We must also recognise the significance of some extremely Photograph by Paul Rogers generous legacy pledges, which will secure and improve our teaching resources for years to come.

At the moment, having secured a first-class architectural design for the proposed new College Library, we are seeing through the complicated business of planning application, with the hope of launching an appeal next year; and the other important project just coming on to the radar is the re-endowment at a better level of our Mandela Scholarships, in memory of our most globally distinguished Honorary Fellow. We intend to offer these to students from right across Africa; and we are looking to co-operate with the University in raising the funding for a Chair in African Archaeology, also in memory of Nelson Mandela – a very important flagship project of collaboration between College and University at this level.

16 MAGDALENE MATTERS Donors’ Report A VIEW FROM ASIA: THE NEW NORMAL by manu bhaskaran (1977)

Six years have passed since the collapse of Lehman Brothers, which triggered the recent global financial crisis, and the US economy is shifting gears to higher growth only now while US monetary policy is set to normalise. However, given the legacy of the global crisis and other changes since the crisis, the global economy will not return to what was normal pre-crisis; it will be a different world, a ‘new normal’.

So, what will the ‘new normal’ look like for Asian In addition, financial regulators across the world have economies in this new phase of the global economy, in terms begun a series of reforms to ensure that a crisis on the of their economic growth experience and the opportunities same scale will not recur.

Anyone who has organised a choir tour will know how treacherous the waters can be. Venues must be booked, concerts organised and music learned, and it only takes a particularly ill- fated wind to blow you devastatingly off-course. Happily, with our trusty Director of Music (Jonathan Hellyer- Jones) at the helm, it was, at the risk of a particularly tortured metaphor, plain sailing from the get-go. We set out on the Eurostar at an ungodly hour of the morning, but once our singers were assembled, Belgium-bound and coffee-clad there was relatively little to dampen our high spirits.

12 MAGDALENE MATTERS Open Day in Singapore In August, our alumna Barbara Fa Yu (1995) and her husband Yen How Tai organised and hosted a ‘Magdalene College Open Day Event’ at their home in Singapore.

The Master, Lord Williams, and the Senior Tutor, Dr Stuart Martin, attended the event to give the Singapore pupils their insights into life at Magdalene College and to discuss admission related matters. We were delighted that two of our current Singaporean undergraduate students, Ms Yiwei Lu (2013) and Ms Jessica Lim (2013), both studying Law, took the time to be there and share their first hand experiences of College life. The young people present certainly made the most of the unique opportunity to get a glimpse of the wonderful environment offered by Magdalene. We are most grateful to Barbara and Yen for assisting the College to raise the profile of the College in Singapore among potential applicants in this way.

The very best five to ten students from a number of highly regarded local and international high schools in Singapore participated in the event to learn more about Magdalene and Cambridge University in general in a cosy and intimate setting. The schools participating were:

1. Raffles Institution 2. Hwa Chong Institution 3. United World College of South-East Asia, Dover Campus 4. United World College of South-East Asia, East Campus 5. Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) 6. Tanglin Trust School 7. Singapore American School

most significant development in JCR business has been the introduction of a Women’s Political Officer. At the beginning of the Lent term a referendum was passed that saw the introduction of an elected Women’s Political Officer on the Welfare Sub-committee, with separate responsibilities to the Female Welfare Officer. Vicky Salt won the subsequent election, and has since worked alongside the Welfare Officer on a new Sexual Harassment Policy, the introduction of Student Consent Workshops and plans for a number of discussion groups during Michaelmas term.

Following the conviction, Queen Elizabeth signed the warrant for execution, which was carried out, causing embarrassment to Elizabeth. Wray rather discreditably managed to lay the sole blame upon Secretary Davison with indiscreet zeal for allowing the warrant to take its course without ensuring that Elizabeth was given the opportunity to revoke it if she might so wish. Wray was said to be “indifferent” to religion, though he was strongly anti-Catholic and strongly disliked the puritans. He believed in the absolute power of the sovereign.
