Our current Master served as British Ambassador in Beijing (p.2). We have a Chinese President (p.10), two other Chinese Fellows, Professor Kay-Tee Khaw (1991) and Dr Liana Chua (2007), and many Chinese undergraduates and postgraduates. We now have our first Chinese-American Nobel Laureate (and the first in my own subject, Chemistry), Professor Roger Tsien (1977), who came back to College (p.14) to accept an Honorary Fellowship and to give a highly entertaining lecture on his work and his Contents time as a Research Fellow at Caius. Dan White Neil McKendrick (1958) writes with customary eloquence (p.6) on the life and legacy Phil Mynott of Joseph Needham (1918), and his monumental study of science and civilisation in China. As Master, Neil was fond of telling Caian after-dinner gatherings that the College had won as many Nobel Prizes as Russia. For the benefit of anyone who has 2 6 10 lost count, the list reads: Charles Sherrington (1880) Medicine 1932 James Chadwick (1919) Physics 1935 Howard Florey (1924) Medicine 1945 Max Born (1908) Physics 1954 Francis Crick (1949) Medicine 1962 John Hicks (1935) Economics 1972 Anthony Hewish (1942) Physics 1974 Tsien Lab Milton Friedman (1953) Economics 1976 PhotosStearns Nevill Mott (1930) Physics 1977 Richard Stone (1931) Economics 1984 Joseph Stiglitz (1965) Economics 2001 14 18 22 Roger Tsien (1977) Chemistry 2008 At a less rarefied level of College life, global financial difficulties mean that fundraising is ever more vital to the College’s continuing success. Last year’s Telephone Campaign raised over half a million pounds, a record for any Oxbridge College: Caians responded with unprecedented generosity to the new Caius Fund, which provides money for much-needed, immediate expenditure (p.28). We are immensely grateful to those who have set up regular gifts over 4, 7 or 10 years and we hope that many more Caians will do so in 2009. Every donation really does make a difference. We are also grateful to the many Caians who have told us 2 Bridges to China – Sir Christopher Hum (2005) they plan to remember the College in their wills. The fabric of Caius is woven from legacies and built on bequests, from the founding gifts of Gonville and Bateman in the 6 Joseph Needham – Bridge Builder – Neil McKendrick (1958) fourteenth century to the legacies of Lord Bauer and Wilfrid Holland in recent years. 10 Our President – Yao Liang (1963) interviewed by Mick Le Moignan (2004)

arack Obama’s rise from poverty and obscurity to the Presidency of the United States is encouraging evidence that talent and tenacity can make anything possible.B The story of our own President’s journey from equally humble origins to a position of great academic eminence is almost as remarkable. Our Professor Yao Liang (1963) was born at Palembang in Sumatra on 23 September 1940, the fourth and youngest child of a Singapore-born Chinese father and an Indonesia-born Chinese mother. Both were originally teachers but his father then worked President at the Dutch petroleum refinery at Interview by Mick Le Moignan (2004) Palembang and rose to become Chief Cashier. When the Japanese invaded Sumatra in 1943, the Liangs had to escape to Java to avoid internment and almost certain death. On the instruction of the Dutch owners, Yao’s father and others had tried to blow up the refinery, but having never handled explosives, caused only minor damage. The job was eventually completed by another Caian, David Foster (1938), who led the Fleet Air Arm’s bombing raid in 1944 (See Once a Caian… Issue 3, page 12.) After the War, Yao attended primary school in Jakarta but preferred play to study, regularly failed exams, came bottom of the class and twice had to change schools to avoid being kept in the year below! But in his final year, he met the first of the “protectors” with whom he feels his life has been blessed: Mr Li taught mathematics and chemistry and miraculously inspired in young Yao a liking for “the discipline of thought that is the basis of all sciences”. Mr Li also taught him at Ba Zhong secondary school, where Yao confounded his earlier academic record by coming top of the class for six years in a row! Ba Zhong was a “leftist” school: successful pupils were expected to go to Communist China, where higher education was free, and Portsmouth Two young teachers had a reports.” By the third to contribute to the development of the College of Arts and particular impact on him and year, it was obvious motherland.

Jeff Aughton (1970) “Why don’t we all meet up again in the future on some memorable date – how about 9/9/1999?” I remember saying this to my colleagues very late one night while we were gathered in someone’s College room. Unfortunately, although I thought about it many times afterwards, it seems that I was the only one in a fit state to remember what happened. As the years passed I began to suspect that I might be the sole attendee A Big Birthday Party and a chance meeting at the College’s 650th anniversary celebrations confirmed my fears.

As most of the participants had not met for 26 years there was a danger that the evening might have been an anticlimax and yet something marvellous happened. It was a stunning success. We took photographs, caught up on the past quarter-century and swapped stories and addresses (including these Third Reich Correction new-fangled ‘e’ types). Also, we pledged to meet again but felt that waiting another 26 years was pushing it a bit so And finally... No Caians but two relatives of Caians quickly decided that 11/11/11 was the most obvious date to reconvene. Look out for the report in a few years’ time!
