Professor Walker has developed the variety which produces high levels of the plant alkaloid galanthamine, which has proven effective in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. The plant also contains narciclasine, an exciting new treatment for brain tumours. Although bulbs will not be available in commercial quantities for several years, he has generously donated some that have been planted in the Master’s Garden and has offered some to be raffled at the Alumni Day in September.

When I look through the names of the past Presidents there is an interesting variety starting in 1922 with the Founding President – the then Master of Downing, Professor Sir Albert Charles Seward. He was an eminent botanist and, for two years of his mastership, Vice-Chancellor of the University. The presidents continue through a range of well known and less well known names including most Downing Masters. Although this year is our 90th anniversary, it will see only our 86th Annual Dinner and AGM for the activities of the Association ceased for a period during the Second World War due to lack of members in residence and other more pressing matters. The historic buildings of the College have changed little externally since they were completed but internally they have been refurbished in recent years. During the life of the Association the College has seen a large growth in new buildings. Changes have occurred in less concrete characteristics such as the number of students and fellows, the subjects being taught or researched, the introduction of women and the general relaxation of restraints surrounding residence in College, now available to all undergraduates and some graduates. Satisfyingly none of these changes seems to have altered the general atmosphere of the College. The Association’s window on the current student academic scene is through our annual prize. The Association Prize is seen as the most prestigious in the College and is awarded to students coming within the top 2½% of the University class list for their Tripos. The Association’s further interest in the students manifests itself in our Student Support Fund from which modest grants are made to undergraduates and postgraduates who can show a need for financial assistance to pursue their academic work. Our Committee and others, including former Presidents Julian Childs and Roy Farmer, work hard to find, commission and sell merchandise the profit from which goes to the Fund. I would like to commend in particular the work of Frank Weiss who, throughout a long period of painful disability has, with the assistance of our Treasurer Norman Berger, performed a key role in the sales of merchandise. In this area and many others Barrie Hunt has exercised his Secretarial role assiduously. So much for students, but we must remember that the Fellows are the power house of the College and they continue to achieve acclaim. This year we congratulate in particular Professor Trevor Robbins who was appointed a CBE and Professor Stafford Withington who was elected a Visiting Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford. Elsewhere in this issue of the Newsletter I describe the latest visit my wife and I made to her home country of Australia which makes us realise that the 7 DOWNING COLLEGE ASSOCIATION “tyranny of distance” still exists although modern transport has improved things in some areas whilst e-mails, Skype and social networks have made communication much easier and faster in a surprisingly short time. However some of our members abroad can still feel relatively isolated and I hope to be able to think of ways of bringing them closer in mind if not in body. This brings me round to a topic which I mull over frequently and that is to what extent do former students want to keep in touch with the College. The response to this is of course that everyone has a different level of interest and this may change with time. This does not mean that alumni have lost interest in the College – one of our Year Reps said at their meeting earlier this year that he had found that amongst alumni there was an immense amount of goodwill towards the College. We know that some alumni retain friendships they made as students for life and in quite large groups. At the other extreme we occasionally receive letters from members saying that they do not wish to be contacted – one gave the reason that his time in College was “a negative experience”. For most the departure from College launches them into the all consuming business of earning a living. They develop wider interests and a different social scene and a feeling that college is old hat and not part of the new bright horizon. Family places limitations on one’s mobility and time. However, many people tend to want to get in touch as they get older. They have more time, they cast aside previously pressing matters and perhaps become aware that there may be some comfort in meeting people who started off life in a manner similar to their own. The Association’s Annual Dinner and the College’s Reunions offer excellent opportunities for members to meet. Some members use their dining rights to dine at High Table.

    The London School of Economics and Political Science In the Shadow of the Prison Gates: An Institutional Analysis of Early Release Policy and Practice in England and Wales, 1960 – 1995 Thomas Charles Guiney A thesis submitted to the Department of Social Policy of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, October 2015. Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 99,995 words. 2 Abstract This thesis explores the historical development of early release policy and practice in England and Wales between 1960 - 1995. The evolution of criminal justice as a public policy concern has attracted considerable interest within the literature but this has tended to focus on the role of individuals as key agents of policy change or the ‘big picture’ socio-economic shifts associated with late twentieth-century modernity. Comparatively little attention has been paid to the mediating role of institutions at the intersection between policy and politics.

  • Imran Khan: the Cricketer, the Celebrity, the Politician
    Christopher Sandford Imran Khan: The Cricketer, The Celebrity, The Politician Аннотация The definitive biography of Imran Khan, the former Pakistan cricket captain and all-rounder – the Oxbridge graduate and vociferous campaigner; the devout Muslim whose kaleidoscopic social life flooded the gossip columns; the man who raised $60 million for cancer research and who is now one of the most important political figures in Pakistan.On one thing, Imran Khan’s friends and enemies agree: it all began with the leopard print satin trousers. In November 1974, the Cricketer International published an article about the new elite group of young talented players, ‘into concepts like fashion and pop music’, and bent on challenging cricket’s eternal stereotypes. Of the five featured stars on the cover, a superbly hirsute 21-year-old wearing a tight black shirt and gaudy trousers, with a facial expression of supreme self-confidence, stood out.Imran Khan has always been a controversial figure, a man who gives rise to hot debate on account of his strong conviction and hard line views. From his achievements on the cricket field as the Pakistan captain who captured the World Cup and the game’s best all-rounder in history, through to his racy social life – the practising Muslim boogieing on the dancefloor of Annabel’s, ‘an astonishing lovemaker’, according to one overnight partner, praised by Diana Princess of Wales, close friend to his then wife Jemima Goldsmith, as a ‘devoted husband’ – the Imran story is full of colour and contradictions.Acclaimed biographer Christopher Sandford has approached a richly varied cast list of Imran associates past and present – from Geoff Boycott, Javed Miandad, Mike Brearley, David Gower and John Major through to Nelson Mandela and close acquaintances male and female such as Eric Clapton, Mick Jagger, John Major, Keith Richards, sources close to the late Princess of Wales and Pakistan’s General Musharraf.

  • MOAB IS MY WASHPOT for You the Book of D., Verse 10, Chapter 11 to Live Is to War with Trolls in Heart and Soul
    Annotation "'Stephen Fry is one of the great originals… This autobiography of his first twenty years is a pleasure to read, mixing outrageous acts with sensible opinions in bewildering confusion… That so much outward charm, self-awareness and intellect should exist alongside behaviour that threatened to ruin the lives of innocent victims, noble parents and Fry himself, gives the book a tragic grandeur and lifts it to classic status.' Financial Times; 'A remarkable, perhaps even unique, exercise in autobiography… that aroma of authenticity that is the point of all great autobiographies; of which this, I rather think, is one' Evening Standard; 'He writes superbly about his family, about his homosexuality, about the agonies of childhood… some of his bursts of simile take the breath away… his most satisfying and appealing book so far' Observer" Stephen Fry MOAB IS MY WASHPOT For You The Book of D., Verse 10, Chapter 11 To live is to war with trolls in heart and soul.

The problem had many different names and diagnoses. Some thought we were drowning in too much news; others feared we were in danger of becoming newsless.
