This is my first opportunity to introduce myself to you in writing as the Vice-Chancellor and Warden and it is fitting that I am doing so in an issue of the magazine that marks the 150th anniversary of the creation of the University’s first alumni society. Alumni are the guardians of the University and our primary community of affection. In the end, everything I and my colleagues do here needs to be judged from the perspective of alumni, by those who have a long-term investment and concern for the success and reputation of the University. Our horizon should be the next 20, or even 30, years. My aim is that the current generation of students should be just as proud to have Durham on their CV when they are 40 or 50 as they are now. My aim is for you to be even more proud of your connection to the University than you were at the time of your graduation. This then is the goal for alumni relations during my tenure, and in my first year I will be bringing 9 20 forward some ambitious plans for transforming Durham.

  • History of Hatfield
    History of Hatfield When Hatfield was founded in 1846, it was a revolutionary development in residential higher education. For the first time, student rooms were let furnished, all meals were taken in Hall, expenses were fixed, reasonable and known in advance. Students and staff were regarded as a community, cared for and guided by College Officers. Most of this is fairly general practice now but it took some time before it became an accepted model throughout the world. 50 years later, after some initial uncertainties Hatfield had developed into a well known, predominantly theological, establishment under Archibald Robertson, later an eminent bishop At the centenary of its foundation Hatfield had changed its emphasis to science and education but reached a low ebb until the end of World War II, when Eric Birley supervised the revival of the College and was responsible for many modern aspects of administration and organization including the establishment of a tutorial system and provision of facilities for a Senior Common Room. In midsummer 2006, the rugby days of Tom Whitworth were history, and the admission of women – agonized under James Barber and grudgingly accepted are now a welcome fact. The features of the present time are, vastly larger student numbers, a wider range of study courses, and increasingly good academic results. The Hatfield spirit – present from early days – is alive and well. There are some things money can’t buy.(2005) 1 SITE AND SETTING Hatfield College is a residential college in Durham University. It is in the city centre, nestling near the Cathedral on its World Heritage peninsula site.

    Issue Ten The magazine for alumni. Department of History, Durham University. 2020 02 SYMEON | Issue ten 03 When we decided on a theme for Issue 10 of Symeon, we had no idea what 2020 would bring. We met on North Bailey in Michaelmas 2019 and elected to curate an issue focused on Environments and Nature. Little did we know that the world would soon face monumental challenges and changes relating to these. The new year began in the midst of Australia’s most intense bushfires in memory, a tragedy which would be repeated in the Western United States this summer. Meanwhile, by spring, COVID-19 was becoming a global pandemic. In March, many of us found that our everyday environment shrank significantly: in lockdown, we found our days unfolding at home as the streets became eerily quiet. Then, from the end of May, with the dramatic growth of Black Lives Matter, the world has seen a social justice movement on an unprecedented scale. This is a year in which nature has thrown us enormous challenges, and it is a year in which many of us have questioned the kind of environment—physical and social—in which we want to live. It’s a year for history books to come. Of course, however, these are not proposes a new method for estimating with his reflection on the History entirely new issues.

Welcome to Durham and congratulations on getting accepted into this world- leading university! I’m Sofia, your international Welfare Rep, and I’m here to ensure that all of you have an amazing Fresher’s Week, and that you kick off your first year in the best way possible, making you fall in love with Durham in the process. Here are a few facts about me: I’m a cheery half Italian and half Argentinian human who enjoys bad puns way too much. I’m a second year Liberal Arts student, majoring in English Lit, and I seem to have a knack for getting involved in too many extracurricular activities, such as rowing, football, Frisbee (yes, it’s an actual sport), Aidan’s voices and International Society (“come for the cake and stay for the culturally diverse people” – sounds like a great motto to me). Sports and societies are honestly so much fun and I can’t stress enough how important it is to join as many as you fancy! This Handbook will provide you with some of the key information about Durham and Aidan’s, but do not hesitate to reach out to me, the Welfare team or any other Frep if you have any questions or concerns, we’ll all be more than happy to give you the support you need! And now I’ll let Lik Qi and Hanna introduce themselves as the last two members of the International Rep team (aka the dream team).
