Every year, in late November, as required by our First Founder, Edmund Gonville, we remember all those whose benefactions have been essential to ensure the continued success of Caius down the centuries – and every year, the list grows longer. As I write, we are passing a milestone that not even our sharp-eyed mathematicians have drawn to my attention. Gonville obtained Letters Patent for his Hall on 28 January 13 48, so on Michaelmas Conten ts Eve, 28 September 201 4, the College’s age is 666 years and eight months. Two-thirds A of a millennium is an awe-inspiring period of time, but as we embark on our next D l a a n n W F e h third of a millennium, Caius is in great spirits, with good reason to be highly r i s t h e t optimistic about the future. 2 6 8 The second half of the twentieth century was a unique period in the College’s history, when government funding provided a major part of our running costs. Today, like other educational institutions in Britain, Caius is having to cope with a potentially catastrophic drop in government support. Instead of weakening us, it has made us stronger, because it has forced us to remember that membership of the Caian community is for life. Roots put down and friendships made here are being rekindled while sharing in the intellectual community of the College and renewing our T D Y a o a o commitment to ensure that future generations of Caians will benefit from the same m n L W C i a h h n a i g t l e unique opportunities. l i 10 16 20 s More than 25% of Caians now make donations to the College every year. This is the 10 16 20 College’s life-blood. Last year, Caius was the top Cambridge College, both in terms of the number of you who gave and the total funds donated. This loyalty and generosity sustains us through all the vagaries of changing government policies and the rollercoaster of the world economy. We cannot thank you enough for believing in the work of the College and supporting our appeals for teaching, buildings, bursaries and research, thereby helping to maintain Caius’ outstanding achievements in education and research. 2 That Was The Life That Was – David Frost (195 8) – remembered by Neil On a personal note, after more than thirteen years as Director of Development, I shall McKendrick (195 8) be relinquishing that full-time role from the end of this year, but will continue on a 4 Delivering George – interview with Sir Marcus Setchell (1961) Lida Kindersley of the Kindersley-Cardozo Workshop, with Dr Anne Lyon and Christopher Cheng, part-time basis to do everything in my power to ensure that the endowment, on 6 Balancing the Budget – Dr David Secher (197 3), Senior Bursar supervising as Alice Cheng’s grandson Oliver makes the first cut in the stone which Caius increasingly depends, will go on growing each year.

Having served as a site for the sharing of data and methods between disciplines in the early twentieth century, scientists and historians have tended to view its legacy in terms of reduction and division - contributing distrust, even antipathy, between communities in the social and the biological sciences. Following the work of Erving Goffman, this paper will explore how eugenics has, as the epitome of “bad” or “abnormal” science, served as a “stigma symbol” in the politics of boundary work.

  • SOHASKY-DISSERTATION-2017.Pdf (2.074Mb)
    DIFFERENTIAL MINDS: MASS INTELLIGENCE TESTING AND RACE SCIENCE IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY by Kate E. Sohasky A dissertation submitted to the Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Baltimore, Maryland May 9, 2017 © Kate E. Sohasky All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Historians have argued that race science and eugenics retreated following their discrediting in the wake of the Second World War. Yet if race science and eugenics disappeared, how does one explain their sudden and unexpected reemergence in the form of the neohereditarian work of Arthur Jensen, Richard Herrnstein, and Charles Murray? This dissertation argues that race science and eugenics did not retreat following their discrediting. Rather, race science and eugenics adapted to changing political and social climes, at times entering into states of latency, throughout the twentieth century. The transnational history of mass intelligence testing in the twentieth century demonstrates the longevity of race science and eugenics long after their discrediting. Indeed, the tropes of race science and eugenics persist today in the modern I.Q. controversy, as the dissertation shows. By examining the history of mass intelligence testing in multiple nations, this dissertation presents narrative of the continuity of race science and eugenics throughout the twentieth century.

    THE WEB THAT HAS NO WEAVER Understanding Chinese Medicine “The Web That Has No Weaver opens the great door of understanding to the profoundness of Chinese medicine.” —People’s Daily, Beijing, China “The Web That Has No Weaver with its manifold merits … is a successful introduction to Chinese medicine. We recommend it to our colleagues in China.” —Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Chinese Medicine, Beijing, China “Ted Kaptchuk’s book [has] something for practically everyone . Kaptchuk, himself an extraordinary combination of elements, is a thinker whose writing is more accessible than that of Joseph Needham or Manfred Porkert with no less scholarship. There is more here to think about, chew over, ponder or reflect upon than you are liable to find elsewhere. This may sound like a rave review: it is.” —Journal of Traditional Acupuncture “The Web That Has No Weaver is an encyclopedia of how to tell from the Eastern perspective ‘what is wrong.’” —Larry Dossey, author of Space, Time, and Medicine “Valuable as a compendium of traditional Chinese medical doctrine.” —Joseph Needham, author of Science and Civilization in China “The only approximation for authenticity is The Barefoot Doctor’s Manual, and this will take readers much further.” —The Kirkus Reviews “Kaptchuk has become a lyricist for the art of healing. And the more he tells us about traditional Chinese medicine, the more clearly we see the link between philosophy, art, and the physician’s craft.” —Houston Chronicle “Ted Kaptchuk’s book was inspirational in the development of my acupuncture practice and gave me a deep understanding of traditional Chinese medicine.

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.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to those who took the time out of their busy schedules to write the tributes that follow. *** Elihu (known to all as Eli) was born in London in 1928, the only child of Rachel (née Steinberg) and Hersch Lauterpacht, Jewish immigrants from central and Eastern Europe. Despite his foreign origins, Hersch was to become, not only Whewell Professor of International Law at Cambridge University and a knight of the realm, but one of the leading international lawyers of his generation, and certainly one of the most imaginative and most admired.

  • Elihu Lauterpacht, LCIL and the Lauterpacht Tradition James
    Elihu Lauterpacht, LCIL and the Lauterpacht Tradition James Crawford AC* My focus here is Eli’s relation to what is still thought of as the Lauterpacht tradition of thinking about and doing international law, a tradition largely identified with his father, Hersch Lauterpacht, scholar and judge – but which Eli contributed to perpetuating and consolidating.1 Precisely because Hersch’s contribution is even now so well-known, nearly 60 years after his death, it seems appropriate to focus first on Eli’s own, distinct, career. This one can in part recall by listing the various things he started or continued and which are in many cases now institutions, which embody new ideas or which at least evoke strong memories. This account is of course merely indicative. First there was judging and arbitrating. He was once appointed an ad hoc judge in a case before the International Court, in the early stages of Bosnian Genocide. His separate opinion in that case (in some respects a dissenting opinion) is notable for its analysis of the role of the ad hoc judge. He said… consistently with the duty of impartiality by which the ad hoc judge is bound, there is still something specific that distinguishes his role. He has, I believe, the special obligation to endeavour to ensure that, so far as is reasonable, every relevant argument in favour of the party that has appointed him has been fully appreciated in the course of collegial consideration and, ultimately, is reflected – though not necessarily accepted – in any separate or dissenting opinion…2 * © James Crawford, 2017.
