2 Master’s Introduction

In my recent reports I have expressed disappointment at the College’s academic housing complex on Newnham Road. We have strengthened and professionalised our performance. I have argued that, while exam results are only a partial measure of operations with full-time appointments for Development Director, Steward and HR educational achievement, Clare should expect to deliver better results given the Officer. The active Fellowship has risen from 69 to 80, and full-time staff members from number and quality of both our applications and our Fellowship. I am delighted to 105 to 124. In 2003 we admitted 64% of our undergraduates from the state sector; in report this summer that we have risen dramatically in the Baxter Tables from 17th to 2009 we admitted 55%. These statistics throw up some obvious challenges. 6th. This is our best position for six years and reflects not only the efforts of the I do not believe that the Browne review, whatever it recommends on tuition fees, Senior Tutor, Directors of Studies and students, but also the appointment of College will provide significant extra money for either the University or the College in the Teaching Officers, largely funded by alumni, in Law (where we are now 4th in the next three to four years. So the expert advice of our Investments Committee, the University) and Economics (where we are now 3rd). But these results give no cause robust examination of the College’s financial management by the Finance Committee, for complacency. We still have a number of under-performing subjects, especially in the scrutiny of our accounts by the Audit Committee, and the interrogation of the physical Natural Sciences; and Clare should expect to be regularly among the spending plans by the new Estates Committee are all essential. One of the most highest-placed colleges. promising signs for the future is the success of the College’s Annual Fund. Major gifts While the provision of a world-class undergraduate education is, I believe, the are always welcome, but the £300,000-£400,000 donated each year in the form of College’s paramount responsibility, research and teaching are inextricably linked. The relatively small gifts by large numbers of alumni will be vital in the long-term. election of Nicola Clayton to the Fellowship of the Royal Society and of Philip Ford to The need to widen participation in the College student body is still imperative. It is the Fellowship of the British Academy, the £5M BBSRC grant for Lorraine Tyler, the not simply a question of increasing the number of state school admissions. We need a Leverhulme Prize for Helena Sanson, the British Academy Prize for Mike Lapidge, the more diverse student body for the future well-being of the College in general and the Honorary Degrees for Andrew Wiles and Anthony Snodgrass, and the students themselves. It cannot be healthy that we admitted only three students from Interdisciplinary Fellowship for Tim Lewens are recent examples of the Fellowship’s Yorkshire and none from Northern Ireland in 2009, or that just 11% of our intake research achievements. Clare also supports research in other direct ways. We award two research fellowships a year - highly competitive posts which promote path- was from the north of England where a quarter of the UK population lives. The breaking research by future academic leaders - chosen from an international field of College compares well against the recommendations of the Harris Report on applicants. At any one point, Clare is funding six research fellows at an annual cost of widening access to highly selective universities, and we should be proud of the efforts £250,000. We also have 258 graduate students, many of whom are supported by of the Schools Liaison Officer and the admissions team, described in more detail on research studentships or other forms of College financial assistance. page 14. But there is much more to do, and I hope that we might set ourselves more ambitious access targets when we draft our new strategic plan this autumn. With the College about to re-visit its five-year strategic plan, it is appropriate to take stock and identify major issues for the futures. I can start with some basic information. Since I became Master in October 2003, Clare has raised close to £15 million from alumni. The College has refurbished Thirkill Court and Castle End, built Lerner Court and a graduate

The College took advantage of an historic opportunity in October 2008 to enter into an inflation swap on a £15 million loan for 40 years. The inflation-linked interest rate of 1.09% was unusually low due to the turbulent market conditions at that time. This presented a very significant opportunity to invest in global equity tracker funds at a low point in the cycle. Clare expects to achieve a real return of over 4% pa, which would produce a gain of £45 million (in 2008 pounds) in 2048. The inflation linked borrowing has had a promising first eighteen months. The assets have risen by £3.6 million and this is offset by only £150,000 of increased liability in respect of inflation.
