Not only do its members realise their academic potential - see the Senior Tutor's report - but they do so in an environment that recognizes and fosters talents in a wide diversity of other fields.

3 The Society

The College has suffered a major loss with the retirement of Professor John Holloway from his Professorial Fellowship. Professor Holloway had been a Fellow since 1955, having previously been a Fellow of All Souls' College, Oxford, and a Lecturer in English at Aberdeen. He was for some time a Tutor, and was Director of Studies in English until the University promoted him successively to a Readership and then to a Chair in Modem English. 'Modern English' scarcely indicates the scope of his writings, which include important works on philosophy, on Shakespeare, on literary theory, and ona wide range of topics in English and European literature. He has edited a valuable collection of English broadside ballads, and is himself a poet of distinction and the author of a fascinating volume of autobiography. For all this, the keenness of his attention to College affairs has been unflagging, and those of us who have ever fallen below his own standards of breadth and precision in 'language and intelligence' (to borrow the title of his first book) - and that, I fear, means all of us - will have Professor J. Holloway reason to remember the genial and forbearing wit with which he has taught us to do better. Fortunately, Professor Holloway remains a Life Fellow, continues to live in Cambridge, and retains a study in College. We hope to have the pleasure of his company for many years to come. The Undergraduates Another loss is that of the Reverend John Sharp, who left the Society at the end of 1982, upon the expiry of his Last June saw the departure of the last single-sex year of three-year period Chaplain. as The month of January undergraduates. They were admitted in 1979, since when 1983 found him working in the archives of the the College has taken women undergraduates.

Some Colleges have aimed to have a also renowned for his climbing achievements in the Alps more equal sex balance but Queens' takes no account of and in Britain.

But A.C.S. by whatever criterion, Queens' came out well last June, being in the top few in all the tables. There were 74 First MRS MARY POITS Classes in all and 56% of the College gained either a First or an Upper Second. This was a splendid performance Many generations of Queensmen will remember Mary and even more satisfactory when one realises that many Potts for many different reasons and it is with sadness of these successes were coupled with significant that we record her death last Christmas.

For many years past, part of the set Essex 3 on the first floor of Essex Building had been store-rooms for the old kitchens. With the closure of the old kitchens, we have been able to return these rooms to the main set. This has involved the removal of a cast-iron spiral staircase rising from the kitchens to the storerooms, and the service lift which formerly ran between the kitchens and the Erasmus Room. The whole set was then restored and redecorated, and is now occupied by Professor Bowett. In the summer vacation 1982, Essex Building was scaffolded to permit a complete external redecoration. The stone parapet had decayed in places and needed patchwork repairs. The slate roof to the building continues to cause anxiety - most of the slates have already been turned once in their life and are now becoming very thin. Some exterior water pipes on Essex Building which had always been prone to frost damage were moved inside the building. Fisher Building has been redecorated externally.

All these have been cleaned most satisfactorily in situ and in addition Dean Milner's portrait has been away to Mr Cobbe's studio for restoration. This is, however, only the most immediately visible part of the work that Mr Cobbe is doing for the college. He has also cleaned many of the portraits in the Old Combination Room and in the President's Lodge, and done minor restoration work on some of them. He has, at the same time, embarked on the major restoration of the most important group of paintings in the college, the three fifteenth century panels above the altar in the Chapel. Thework is being done in Mr Cobbe's studio and each panel will be away for about a year. He has started with the centre panel, which shows the resurrection of Christ in the foreground, with his appearance in the garden to Mary in the background. When thep anel was taken out it was discovered that it had another totally unrecorded painting on the other side. This cannot have been seen by anyone since the panels were put in their present position in 1891. The panels were previously in use in the old Chapel. They had earlier been in the long gallery of the President's Lodge.

The Guest of Honour will be Dr B. A. Callingham and arrangements will be in the hands of E. W. Chanter of Malsover, Calverleigh, Tiverton EX 16 SBA (Telephone (0884) 2533 15).
