St Catharine's College Society Magazine 1 The Society's President-Elect 1997-98 Dr Brian Sweeney

Brian Sweeney came up to St Catharine's in 1963 from Marling School in Stroud (Peter le Huray's school) to read Mechanical Sciences under Dudley Robinson. He took a Master's degree at Columbia University in New York and returned to St Catharine's to complete a doctorate in 1970. He joined the 1st VIII in 1965 and 1966, achieving 5th on the river for one brief Friday night, and joined the boat again in 1968. Having enjoyed the Society's London Group programme for many years he was Chairman from 1992 to 1995. Brian worked with Shell in the UK and was posted to Canada, Hong Kong, the Philippines and the Netherlands. He was Area Co-ordinator for South Asia and a member of the Management Team of Exploration and Production. In 1990 he moved to Arthur D. Little, an American management consultant, to head the Downstream Oil Industry practice in Europe and the Middle East. Three years ago he joined Rolls-Royce in New- castle where he is the Business Development Director and Marketing Director for the industrial business. In 1972 Brian and Jenny (one of Gus Caesar's pupils) were married in the College Chapel. They have two daughters. Kate is reading Geography at St Catharine's and was Captain of Boats for 1996-97 when the VIII achieved 7 bumps. Helen is reading Architecture at New- castle and is Captain of Women's Rowing there. Brian, since moving to the Tyne, has taken up rowing again. He seriously enjoys sailing, skiing and travel.

Mr David Aldridge read Natural Sciences at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, and began his PhD in the Department of Zoology in 1993, for which he remained at Corpus. His research is based in the River Cam. where he studies the ecology offish and freshwater mussels. He is a keen entomol- ogist and ornithologist, is actively involved in conservation work with the Environment agency, and is a Council Member of the Conchological Society of Great Britain and Ireland. Prof. Robert J Bennett (1967) was educated at Taunton's School, Southampton, reading Geo- graphy and obtaining his PhD (1974) at St Catharine's, thus following a school link with the College begun by Caesar and continued through David Keeble and others. After an initial lectureship at UCL he returned as a lecturer to Cambridge 1978-85 before being appointed to the Chair of Geography at LSE. Rejoining the College in 1996 follows his appointment to the post of 1931 Professor of Geography following the retirement of another St Catharine's Fellow Michael Chisholm. He is also holder of a Leverhulme Research Chair where he is continuing his research on the role of government-business relations in developing the local and regional economy. The rest of his life is dominated by his two sons, and his wife Elizabeth, a Girton classicist (now lawyer) and first legitimate female undergraduate resident of the College Master's Lodge as a tenant of Teddy Rich! Captain Charles M C Crawford RN has taken over as Bursar from Rear Admiral Tony Norman. He read Mechanical Sciences, as Engineering was more grandly termed in the early 1960s, graduating from Pembroke College in 1964. After a year with a firm of consultant engineers in London designing environmental systems for large buildings ranging from nuclear power stations to motorway service areas, he joined the Royal Navy and ran away to sea in 1965. 31 years later having travelled to most of the four corners of the world, including a spell of two and a half years in Japan, he retired as a Captain and joined the College in January this year. Married to Gillie and with three sons, two of whom are also Cambridge graduates, they have moved home from Winchester to Cambridge. Dr Kevin Dalton was born in Cumbria. He read medicine at the Middlesex Hospital in London. After initial surgical training in Cambridge, he took up an MRC Junior Research Fellowship at Worcester College Oxford (St Catharine's sister college), where he obtained his DPhil in Physiology. After specialist training in Oxford. Queen Charlotte's Hospital London, Edinburgh and Cardiff, he was appointed as University Lecturer and Consultant in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Addenbrooke's Hospital in 1983. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine, and his research interests include perinatal bio-engineering and legal medicine. In 1994 the European Commission chose him to lead its multi-national project on Quality Assurance in Maternity Care. In 1995 he became an Apothecary, and in 1996 a Freeman of the City of London. He rises early and walks his dog for two miles each morning. St Catharine's College Society Magazine 7

Mr Richard Dance was born and educated in Doncaster, before reading English at University College, Oxford, in 1990. In 1993 he returned to University College to begin work on a DPhil.The subject of his thesis is the vocabulary derived from Old Norse found in the major texts of the South-West Midlands in the early Middle English period, through which he hopes to elucidate the historical integration of Scandinavian words into English outside the Danelaw and their context in medieval literature. This work may be continued into the fourteenth century during the tenure of his Research Fellowship. Mr Robert Davies graduated from Bristol University, and went on to study for a PhD in Inorganic Chemistry at St John's College, Cambridge where he was awarded a Benefactor's Scholarship. His main research interests are the organometallic chemistry of the alkali earth metals. Prof. John S Parker comes to Cambridge on his appointment as Director of the University Botanic Garden and Professor of Plant Cytogenetics. He read Botany at Christ Church Oxford, and remained to take a DPhil in Plant Genetics. After twenty-three years at Queen Mary and Westfield College in London he moved to Reading University as Professor of Botany in 1992. His research concerns two areas of botany: the genetic control of plant development, and chromosome organisation in natural populations and in crop plants. He is particularly interested in sex in plants, and his passion is for English Parish Church architecture. Dr Christos Vassilicos was born in Athens, studying in Brussels for his undergraduate degree and completing his PhD in Cambridge. At St Catharine's he will be lecturing applied mathematics. His research interests include field turbulence, ocean waves and combustion, and in his spare time he enjoys economics, music, tennis and sailing. Dr Peter Wothers came up to St Catharine's in 1988 and remained with us to take his PhD in physical organic chemistry. He has long been involved in teaching and inl996 was appointed to a Teaching Fellowship in the Department of Chemistry. A keen bibliophile, he has a significant collection of early chemistry and alchemy books dating back to the fifteenth century. Throughout his time at St Catharine's, Peter has been a keen oarsman and he rowed for the College once again in this year's May Bumps. Off the river, he is also a keen cyclist, gaining his Half Blue in 1992.

Hong Kong", the remainder of the Territory, comprising Kowloon and Hong Kong Island, will revert to Chinese sovereignty marking the end of British rule in its last major colony. Following the handover of sovereignty there will be continuity of service in the police force, the judiciary and the civil service. The civil service, a lynchpin of stable government in the Territory, has for a number of years pursued a deliberate policy of localization. For all practical purposes, the government and administration of Hong Kong is already in the hands of local people and it is not envisaged that this will change following the transition from British to Chinese rule. The Territory's property and stock markets have enjoyed a prolonged period of unprece- dented growth fuelled largely by investment from China. Mainland-backed companies listed on the Hong Kong stock market (so-called "'red- chips") have been amongst the best performing local stocks as at the time of writing. Despite disagreement between the British and Chinese Governments on the future direction of the democratic process in Hong Kong, this has not affected economic co-operation: a number of significant deals have recently been concluded between leading British-controlled companies listed in Hong Kong and their Chinese counterparts, paving the way for mainland participation in strategic business sectors such as the airline and telecommunication industries. The population of Hong Kong has every reason to be confident in the Territory's future as a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China.

at Downing. From 1980 to 1995 Carl laboured with enthusiasm, one might better say gusto, to steer the College towards the highest standards of academic prowess within the University. It was on his initiative that the College began regularly to run Research Fellowship competitions and to elect three or four Research Fellows a year. In 1985. on the retirement of Mr Dudley Robinson he became Senior Tutor. He was often engaged in representing the College in Univer- sity Administration, serving on the Sub Com- mittee for Teaching Quality Assessment, as Secretary of the Senior Tutors' Committee, and on the Executive Committee of the University Counselling Service, to name only the tip of an iceberg which must have weighed heavily on his time schedule. He persuaded the Cambridge University Press Syndics to set up the Cam- bridge Edition of the works of D H Lawrence and then served on the Editorial Board, which must have given him both some respite and pleasure. That the text of Sons and Lovers appeared in 1992 (cf. Magazine p. 20) owed much to the devoted support of his wife Helen who postponed much of her own research to help Carl complete this definitive and scholarly edition. Many younger members will be glad to know that the College was well represented at a most moving service in Beverley Minster on 7th When Carl came to us in 1980 to join the June '"Mourning the Death and Celebrating the Fellowship and serve the College as Admissions Life".

ST CATHARINE'S COLLEGE SOCIETY ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 1996

With the President David Evans (1953) in the chair, the Master and 85 Members were present.

Before the AGM a goodly number of members attending the second Society Seminar had heard a talk on volcanic eruptions by Dr David Pyle (1983). The Hon Treasurer John Little (1972) was able to report an increase in the value of the Society's investments and the setting up of a sub-committee to review the Society's investment policy. In spite of a small deficit on the income and expenditure account the Society's financial position was essentially sound. Sports Fund grants totalling £1410 had been made to men and women representing the University in 17 different sports. Members warmly received the Editor's report on the 1996 magazine, welcoming the changes made including the introduction of colour. The repositioning of the Society pages and the printing of a brief summary of AGM business with circulation of the Minutes to those attending the meeting was approved. Sir Derek Day's election as President for 1996-97 was confirmed, Brian Sweeney was elected for 1997-98 and would be Vice-President in the coming year and Gavin Dunbar (1956), Julie Mehta (1979) and Robert Plowright (1956) were re-elected to the Committee. Subsequently James Woodhouse (1954) was co-opted to fill the Committee place Brian Sweeney's election made vacant. The Society's gratitude to Rodney Barton, for his help over the years, would be marked by his presence, with Mrs Barton, at dinner when presentation of an engraved glass bowl and a cheque would be made. The collections at the Chapel services would be given to start a College fund available at the discretion of the Chaplain for welfare purposes and projects associated with the Chapel. Subsequently the sum of £345 was given. Tom Cook: Hon Secretary

As a result of the decision at the 1996 AGM (see above) Minutes of the 1996 meeting will be sent to those who intend to come to the 1997 AGM. Other members who wish for a copy of the Minutes should write to the Chief Clerk at the College.

EDWIN RUTTER

Many members of College will remember E Rutter, University Tailor and Outfitter, whose shop "Stuart", originally in Trumpington Street, and from 1945 to be found in Pembroke St and Botolph Lane, was the source of many a gown and blazer, and certainly your Editor's scarf. We are sorry to inform you that Edwin Rutter passed away on 16th January 1997, aged 96. A Cambridge boy. he sang in Trinity College Chapel Choir from 1912-14. and opened his first shop specialising in "all aspects of Scottish National Dress" in Trumpington Street in 1928 before taking over from George Smith in 1945. The shop moved to 169 Chesterton Road in 1977 where Edwin continued to work until well into his nineties. At the moment his great nephew Paul Taylor is still able to continue the shop for three days a week (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, 10:00-5:00, tel. 01223 354 036) and would be very pleased to be of service. 58 St Catharine's College Society Magazine

Since very few have turned up in the intervening years, I venture to offer it to the Society in the hope that additions and corrections will be sent to me. I have arbitrarily ended the following version, for want of space, at the end of the Edwardian era, though my master copy continues down to the present and I would be equally glad to hear of twentieth-century engravings.

The Purpose of the Gild "During the Annual General Meeting of the Society the Master announced the formation of a St Catharine's Gild. The purpose is to encourage members of the College and of the Society, wherever they may be and whatever denomination they may support, to make their communion on the Sunday next before 25th November (St Catharine's Day) in each year, with the College in mind; and to inform the Master that they have done so. With the passage of years a great and widespread body of St Catharine's men will be making their communion together on that day. No formality is envisaged." (Society Magazine 1969, p. 10).
