Registered Charity No. 1137536 From the Director of Development ...Always a Caian 1

Our College enjoys celebrating the landmarks in its life. 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.

In those palmy days of the mid ’50s, there was not enough Genetics about (or at least, Armed with this sophisticated strategy we arrived for the first recording in Manchester – against Christ Church’s glitzy not in the Cambridge Department) to teach a whole year’s worth, so “gentlemen were required team.

New Challenge Despite teaching in a Medical School – or perhaps because I needed an excuse to escape as often as possible from London – my research studies became largely ecological, investigating genetical processes in natural populations. This led me to catch mice in In the first round of the new series of University Challenge, in August 2014, the Caius student team gave a very impressive somewhat esoteric places, including Enewetak Atoll (which was used as a nuclear bomb testing site by the US), Hawaii and the performance, defeating St Anne’s College, Oxford, by a margin of 305 points to 105. Antarctic, together with many Scottish islands. I was led into all this by Bernard Kettlewell (192 6), a GP who developed from a keen amateur entomologist into a professional, and carried out classical experiments on melanism in the Peppered Moth. I went with him to work on non-industrial melanism in the Shetland Islands, and was seduced by genetics outside the laboratory or clinic. For better or worse, I spent the rest of my working life as an ecological geneticist. Kettlewell was a co-lepidopterist in Caius with Cyril Clarke (192 6), who went on to become President of the Royal College of Physicians and is noted for devising the method to prevent human “rhesus disease”, coincidentally an interest of Fisher’s. Well into his distinguished medical career, Clarke returned to his early passion for butterflies when he teamed up with Philip Sheppard, the Professor of Genetics in Liverpool (where Clarke was Professor of Medicine). He claimed that his ideas about rhesus incompatibility came from his studies on mimicry and super-genes in Swallow Butterflies. All this is very trivial (except for me) – but it all started in Caius.
