2005 Annual Report.Pdf jesus college • cambridge one hundred and first annual report 2005 jesus college • cambridge one hundred and first annual report 2005 photo: frances willmoth Above, two men paddling in a boat; below, Jonah emerges from the fish’s mouth and clutches a tree From July to December this year the Fitzwilliam Museum is showing a most magnificent exhibition of illuminated manuscripts, many of which are from college collections. Jesus was not asked to lend anything for this exhibition – ‘as most of our manuscripts are of the working kind and not elaborately decorated’. Some of the college manuscripts, however, do have illuminations. A 13th century Holy Bible in the college’s collection (Q.A.11: no. 11 in M. R. James’ 1895 catalogue) not only has beautiful writing but ‘historiated initials of more than usual interest’. So that readers can see something of what the Fitzwilliam has missed, this year’s Annual Report carries a number of illustrations taken from that Bible.

Through its pages we can all share in the successes of the college’s senior members, graduates and undergraduates and of its old members. If we missed Jesuan names in the honours lists, the Annual Report can be relied on to tell us who they were. We can learn from it of the achievements of our fellows, what prizes they won, their promotions, elections and appointments. Society and club reports keep us informed about all that happens on the playing fields, courts and river and the awards section proclaims students’ achievements in the examination rooms. Once again there were some superb results and we have continued to rise in the academic league tables – Jesus is now one of the top Cambridge colleges. The women’s 1st VIII went Head of the River in the May Bumps and six of our other boats won their oars. In addition to this, the cricket team won Cuppers. And, to dispel any myths about rowing and academic excellence being incompatible, our Captain of Boats and our President of the University Women’s Boat Club obtained firsts, as did a number of others in both our first boats. The longest section of this year’s report celebrates the single most important change in the history of Jesus College, the admission of women undergraduates in 1979. There is an account of the Women’s Day in September 2004, a fascinating article on the exhibition held in the Quincentenary Library on the history of women at Jesus and an abstract of reminiscences recorded during the Women’s Day. As if in further celebration, the college in May elected Dr Jana Howlett as its first female president. The Works of Art Committee chose five women out of seven exhibitors for the successful Sculpture in the Close exhibition held in College this summer. Professor Michael O’Brien, much honoured this year for his book on the intellectual history of the American South, has written an article on Early American Connections. Much of this will be new to most of us and it invites us to reflect on how much the college owes to those who come to it from overseas, as well as how much it exports through those Jesuans who live and work abroad. The college continues to encourage donors who wish to set up scholarships or bursaries to help those from abroad who would not otherwise be able to afford it. Some of these bursaries are mentioned in College News. Photographs have enlivened the Annual Report for a number of years, but before 1995 they were all black and white. Coloured photographs first appeared in the quincentenary edition and each year there seem to be more of them. The editor tries to balance pictures of the courts and buildings, which I hope will bring back happy memories to Jesuans who do not manage to get back to College, with those of sports and other events which illustrate the things we get up to. There are also some photos of the construction and renovation that has been taking place. Last year, I said that ‘the College will be something of a building site.’ The domestic bursar’s report gives details of what has been achieved: the Prioress’s Room has been refurbished, the cricket pavilion extended, the new maintenance and gardeners’ compound completed, and a refurbished North Court again has a full complement of undergraduates. We are fulfilling our commitment to provide the best facilities we can afford. The hundred and first edition of the Annual Report is full of interest and information and reminds us all what a marvellous thing it is to be a member of such a distinguished college. Degree Day in July particularly highlighted this for me. Starting with the photograph in Chapel Court (endless adjustments of gowns and hoods), then marshalling by the praelector in First Court, the procession was led by our head porter in top hat to the Senate House, where it gave me enormous pleasure to confer degrees 8 message from the master | Jesus College Annual Report 2005 on our very talented graduands. The lunch in College afterwards with their proud parents is a celebratory occasion, tinged with some sadness that this really is the end of an era. Although it is goodbye to student life, it is clear that many of the friendships made here will endure. And, of course, it is emphatically not goodbye to the college. At the Graduation Dinner, I remind those leaving that they have been extremely fortunate to have been resident members over the past few years of a very distinguished college, but that it is not over. All Jesuans have lifelong membership and we very much hope that they will come back and visit – they are always welcome. I see many of the final year undergraduates on an individual basis – to review what they have made of their time here at Jesus and to find out what they are planning to do with their lives. In preparation for the meeting I ask them to write a brief summary. It is always heartening to read what they write of their experiences. Recently one young woman wrote: ‘Jesus College has changed my life more than I could ever have imagined’. Earlier I referred to league tables. Cambridge has recently been ranked second in a prestigious world league table (Harvard again winning top ranking). As the university celebrates its achievements and faces the many challenges of the coming years, so will Jesus strongly support it – and the college will continue to change the lives of its students more than they could ever have imagined.

  • Unit-1 T. S. Eliot : Religious Poems
    UNIT-1 T. S. ELIOT : RELIGIOUS POEMS Structure 1.0 Objectives 1.1 Introduction 1.2 ‘A Song for Simeon’ 1.3 ‘Marina’ 1.4 Let us sum up 1.5 Review Questions 1.6 A Select Bibliography 1.0 Objectives The present unit aims at acquainting you with some of T.S. Eliot’s poems written after his confirmation into the Anglo-Catholic Church of England in 1927. With this end in view, this unit takes up a close reading of two of his ‘Ariel Poems’ and focuses on some traits of his religious poetry. 1.1 Introduction Thomas Stearns Eliot was born on 26th September, 1888 at St. Louis, Missouri, an industrial city in the center of the U.S.A. He was the seventh and youngest child of Henry Ware Eliot and Charlotte Champe Stearns. He enjoyed a long life span of more than seventy-five years. His period of active literary production extended over a period of forty-five years. Eliot’s Calvinist (Puritan Christian) ancestors on father’s side had migrated in 1667 from East Coker in Somersetshire, England to settle in a colony of New England on the eastern coast of North America. His grandfather, W.G. Eliot, moved in 1834 from Boston to St. Louis where he established the first Unitarian Church. His deep academic interest led him to found Washington University there. He left behind him a number of religious writings. Eliot’s mother was an enthusiastic social worker as well as a writer of caliber. His family background shaped his poetic sensibility and contributed a lot to his development as a writer, especially as a religious poet.

  • Gaur As 'Monument': the Making of an Archive and Tropes of Memorializing
    Gaur as ‘Monument’: The Making of an Archive and Tropes of Memorializing Parjanya Sen In his book The Ruins of Gour Henry Creighton, one of the first among a series of early English explorers to the site describes Gaur as ‘an uninhabited waste’, ‘concealed in deep jungle, and situated in one of the least civilized districts of the Bengal Presidency’.1 Describing the ruins in hyperbolic rhetoric, Creighton writes: In passing through so large an extent of formal grandeur, once the busy scene of men, nothing presents itself but these few remains. Trees and high grass now fill up the space, and shelter a variety of wild creatures, bears, buffaloes, deer, wild hogs, snakes, monkies, peacocks, and the common domestic fowl, rendered wild for want of an owner. At night the roar of the tiger, the cry of the peacock, and the howl of the jackals, with the accompaniment of rats, owls, and trouble-some insects, soon become familiar to the few inhabitants still in its neighbourhood.2 A similar rhetoric may be found in Fanny (Parlby) Parks’s description of Gaur in her memoirs. Parks travelled extensively in India during the 1830s. On visiting Gaur, she appears to have been delighted by these ‘picturesque’ ruins amidst a ‘country’ ‘remarkably beautiful’, and enamoured by the site, covered with the silk cotton tree, the date palm, and various other trees; and there was a large sheet of water, covered by high jungle grass, rising far above the heads of men who were on foot. On the clear dark purple water of a large tank floated the lotus in the wildest

  • Reconsidering Local History: Some Facts, Some Observations
    CHAPTER 31 Reconsidering Local History: Some Facts, Some Observations JAWHAR SIRCAR A Plea for Local History The bureaucratization of history in the twentieth century has led to its transformation into a more professional academic discipline, but a growing distinction thus developed between professionals and amateurs. The former, sacerdotal in outlook and superior in attitude, regarded the latter with disdain. They, in turn, felt resentment towards professionals who increasingly dominated a field of study the amateurs had once ruled. In the end, the bureaucratization of learning inevitably meant the exclusion of those who did not possess proper academic credentials.1 this was the candid opening sentence of a well-known American historian, but the tenor in which he continued was equally incisive and applies to academics per se, without pinpointing on History alone. ‘The bureaucratization of learning’, he said, ‘led in turn to growing estrangement between the broad educated public and the world of scholarship’, and scholars who tried to ‘bridge the widening gap between abstract thought and everyday existence’ were dismissed as journalists, popularizers, or hacks. Though quite unexpected from a formal historian, this was part of Theodore S. Hamerow’s address at the annual conference of the American Historical Association of 1988, held at Cincinnati. What the immediate provocation was for Hamerow to deliberately heat up the atmosphere in the post-Christmas chill is not known, but let us first hear him out. According to him, ‘historical research had been conducted for over two thousand years, not by professional scholars but by self-taught amateurs who had spent most of their lives in politics, warfare, theology, bureaucracy, 836 Jawhar Sircar journalism, or literature longer than in any other field of learning’.

  • The Medieval Officials-Principal of Rochester
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 53 1940 THE MEDIEVAL OFFICIALS-PRINCIPAL OF ROCHESTER. BY THE KEV. A. L. BKOWNE, M.A. INTRODUCTION. OP the ecclesiastical conditions that brought these officers into being Neander is informative. " In the course of the twelfth century," he writes, " the bishops (of Western Christendom) empowered proxies in the administration of their jurisdiction, under the name officiales to preserve their authority against archidiaconal encroachment." (Church History VII, 284, ed. 1851.) That the innovation answered its primary purpose can be admitted, but on the other hand it incidentally provided a whip for lashing laymen and clerics suspected of or charged with breaches of canon law. And the strictures passed on the administrative iniquities of these officers, at any rate on the Continent, by Peter of Blois1 are sufficiently pertinent for quotation : " Tota officialis intentio est, ut ad opus episcopi suae jurisdictioni commissas miserimas oves quasi vice illius tondeat, emungat, excoriet. Isti sunt episcoporum sanguisugae" (Ep. 25). This, epitomized, may be rendered :—These officials are employed to shear the wretched sheep within their jurisdiction; they are the bloodsuckers for the bishops. Be this as it may, one hesitates to believe that the enormities to which the writer refers could ever have obtained on an equal scale in the freer atmosphere of England, and where judgments given in a Consistory Court were subject to revision or disallowance on appeal to a bishop in person. As a matter of fact the bishop who appointed could also dismiss his Official, unless the Cathedral Chapter had confirmed the appointment, when it became a benefice and thereby tenable for life.
