Congratulations on joining Emmanuel — ‘Emma’ as it is affectionately known — and beginning your new postgraduate course. We are thrilled that you have chosen Emma to be your college and we hope that you are excited to be starting at Emma, and at Cambridge. But you probably also have a lot of questions. We hope that this guide will provide answers to some of those questions along with lots of other useful information, both for planning your arrival and once you are here. But let’s start right at the beginning, because some of you may be wondering what Emmanuel even is - you thought you were joining Cambridge! Well, you are. The University of Cambridge is at the same time one thing and many, being made up of many faculties and departments, and colleges. As a postgraduate student you will belong to both a department, responsible for your education, and to a college, responsible for your pastoral care, accommodation and an important part of your social life. So who are ‘we’? Emma has its own student unions, who represent the students to College and vice versa, and run various events.

The performance in the examinations was yet again outstanding: we finished third in the table of results, consolidating our position as one of the high achieving colleges in the College Reports University. This gratifying success was not the result of forcing the students into the libraries, laboratories and lecture theatres at the expense of other elements of life in College. Quite the contrary: one of the most pleasurable aspects of life in College at the moment is that students enjoy their academic work and find it a source of endless interest.

Forty vets, fifty nurses and tens of support staff keep him on his toes. Two of his vets are also Clare alumni, Mark Goodfellow (1994) and Mark Lowrie (1998). “It’s not at all like ‘James Herriott’, is the first thing to say. This is a modern hospital concentrating on advanced surgery on cats and dogs, which makes it different to most other practices. Surgery of this kind, historically, was done at universities but there is now a large private sector market.” Clive joined the Davies practice in 1998 and became managing director two years ago. “I didn’t have any clear ambitions when I was at Clare other than to be a vet.

    Fig 1. ‘Letter from the President’, The Griffin, May Week 1980. Introduction Prerona Prasad Eleven years after a human set foot on the moon, the first women under- graduates crossed the threshold of Downing College to take their places as full members. Downing’s own ‘one small step for a man’ would take some years to become a leap for humankind as the first three years of the undergraduate intake took about twenty women each year, with men outnumbering them nearly five to one in each round of admissions. The cover of the student magazine, The Griffin, for Easter Term 1980 (the last term before the women arrived) featured a terrified Elizabeth Allen in the vampirical embrace of Bela Lugosi, in a still from the 1935 film Mark of the Vampire, with a banner declaring ‘Girls! Girls! Girls!’ across the bottom right corner (Fig. 1). The only reference in the magazine to the change on the horizon was an assurance that: The visible impact of co-residence on College will be negligible, amounting to a few subtly placed shower curtains and the addition of an extra laundry behind ‘T’ staircase.1 In a previous issue, an anonymous contribution entitled ‘The Advent of Women’ bemoaned the fact that the College bar was now attracting ‘a harvest of women from all over the city’ as a result of mood lighting and artistic additions to the decor. For the author, the main purpose of the bar was: ‘for drinking, not canoodling with women, who, as everyone knows, can rarely get past four or five a night.’2 Anon.
