MEMBERS’ CORNER The Frozen North – Baffin Island Expedition 2014 – Rhian Jones 185 4 | pembroke college EDITOR’S NOTE This year’s Gazette celebrates the publication of Bill Grimstone’s fascinating Pembroke Portraits, both with a book review on p 179, and by using some of the portraits featured in Pembroke Portraits to mark the divisions of the different sections of the Gazette. The Frontispiece features a portrait that was acquired too late for inclusion in Pembroke Portraits – Peter Edwards’ splendid study of Ted Hughes, that now graces the Dining Hall. As usual, thanks are owed to my secretary, Frances Kentish, for doing so much work to help produce the Gazette and in particular her work on selecting the excerpts from Marjorie’s War that are reproduced in the first section of the Gazette. I am very grateful to the Fellows and students of the College, and Becky Coombs, Sally Clowes, Pat Aske, Sally March, David Franks and Angela Anderson for all their contributions to this year’s Gazette. Particular thanks are owed to Brian Watchorn and Ian Fleming for their obituaries of Howard Erskine-Hill and Tom Rosenthal, respectively; to Reginald and Charles Fair for giving permission to reproduce extracts from their magnificently researched Marjorie’s War; to Richard McCabe and Robert Macfarlane for allowing us to reproduce their tributes to Howard Erskine-Hill at his memorial service; and to Rhian Jones for rounding out this year’s copy of the Gazette with her account of her expedition crossing Baffin Island to raise money for the Youth Adventure Trust – proof, if proof were needed, that there is no corner in any foreign field that has not been touched in some way by people who have spent time at this remarkable College.

We have had another outstanding set of Tripos results with more than a third of our undergraduates taking Firsts. The endowment has grown by another ten million pounds to £70 million, with the Development Office having raised a record £6.79 million in the year to 31 July 2014 (the rest being accounted for by the revaluation of property assets). Finally, there has been continued progress towards development of the Mill Lane site, with the College expecting to secure agreement with the University during 2015 over the area allocated to Pembroke and the timing of its development. This steady upward trend in our ‘key performance indicators’ is of course the result of formidable team and individual efforts by the whole College community – and it is gratifying when those are so clearly rewarded by such positive results. I said last year we should resist the temptation to over-interpret the conclusions to be drawn from a single year’s Tripos results. However, I believe they do point towards good teaching, robust admissions policy and decisions, consistently good performance in the Sciences and the Arts across a range of subjects in all years and striving to meet our access targets without compromising on the College’s top-level academic performance. The Senior Tutor, the Admissions Tutor, the Teaching Committee and Directors of Studies have worked hard to achieve success in each of these areas, but doing it in all of them together is what has made this a vintage year. This year’s development activity has been distinguished by two important donations, both of which play to one of Pembroke’s long-established academic strengths – what used to be called ‘oriental studies’. Bita Daryabari, a California- based philanthropist, has given the College US$2million to sustain Persian Studies, and which will also greatly assist Professor Melville in completing his definitive catalogue of Shahnameh illustrations. The Mohamed Noah Foundation in Malaysia (the family foundation of the Razaks, who have provided the majority of Malaysia’s post-war Prime Ministers) has given Pembroke £2.5 million to endow a Lectureship in Asian Politics in the University, with a Fellowship in Pembroke. The linked appointment, as it is called, breaks new ground in the University as it is the College which receives and holds the money and then guarantees the funds to meet the salary and other costs. The first incumbent will be an expert in Islamic Law and complements appropriately other areas of related scholarship amongst the Fellowship. I would also like to thank the many other generous donors who have given to the College this year, and made it our best fundraising year. I remain reluctant to say too much at this stage about the Mill Lane site development because the University has quite literally kept shifting its ground. However, we are confident that we will get a large slice of it, but now more probably on the south side than the north side. The College is pleased with this prospect, though it may mean diminishing our interest in the Pitt building. This would be disappointing, given the iconic significance of that building for the 6 | pembroke college College, but it would still be a price worth paying if we are able to realise all of our other ambitions for the site. In my remaining year as Master (some members seem to have been under the impression that I was leaving this August) I hope we can go firm on our plans for the site development and how we will finance it. With a hundred plus rooms to be built and other facilities to be acquired or constructed, it will most likely be the largest expansion of the College in Pembroke’s long history – altogether a significant but very exciting challenge, and satisfying to be doing this directly adjacent to the College site not in another part of town. We are already thinking in terms of a linking tunnel under Trumpington Street! I do not usually draw attention to my own lectures in the Gazette (rather those that invited lecturers deliver at the College). However, I am making an exception because a recent lunchtime lecture that I gave at the Royal United Services Institute on 7 July has attracted interest and attention like no other lecture I have given since I retired from The Secret Intelligence Service in 2004. The lecture can be viewed live on the RUSI and College websites. The core of my argument is that it is time for the government to adopt a more proportionate approach to countering the terrorist threat and a more balanced approach to the distribution of its intelligence and security resources across a broader range of threats to national security.Islam is at war with itself and though our own Muslim communities are, and will be, caught up in the war between Sunni and Shia, we are bystanders, no longer the primary targets that we were for Al Qaeda. The strength of the response to this thesis (every major news channel requesting interviews and many other requests besides) suggests to me that my views may well be widely shared, though no-one in authority, or with authority, has so far expressed them. Of course it is always risky to suggest a diminution in our preoccupation with countering terrorism; one determined radicalised individual can make your argument look premature, at best, or simply wrong. However, even if it is too soon for the government to be listening to this advice, and it probably is, it is not too soon to start asking questions about our national stance so that looking beyond the next election the post-9/11 policies and attitudes which have dominated national security thinking (including my own) might be reconsidered.

ABSTRACT A theatrical portrait is an image of an actor or actors in character. This genre was widespread in eighteenth century London and was practised by a large number of painters and engravers of all levels of ability. The sources of the genre lay in a number of diverse styles of art, including the court portraits of Lely and Kneller and the fetes galantes of Watteau and Mercier. Three types of media for theatrical portraits were particularly prevalent in London, between ca745 and 1800 : painting, print and book illustration.

  • Good Building Practices Guideline Is Intended to Illustrate Those Differences
    kNK5 Z?m1Z Government of Nunavut Nunavut Kavamanga Gouvernement du Nunavut Good Building Practices Guideline Second Edition December 2005 FOREWORD Building in the North is indeed different than building in more temperate climates. The Good Building Practices Guideline is intended to illustrate those differences. It is aimed at providing architects, engineers, building contractors, suppliers, facility administrators and operators with a comprehensive set of guidelines for building in the North. The Good Building Practices Guideline assumes an advisory role, while renewing the challenge to builders to be innovative in applying the practices. Builders are encouraged to present alternatives to the suggestions detailed in the Good Building Practices Guideline, or to present new or innovative ways of resolving technical problems or of reducing building life-cycle costs. The Good Building Practices Guideline incorporates years of experience in northern construction practices. The Good Building Practices Guideline was refined through input from architectural and engineering consultants, building contractors, suppliers, facility operators, Community and Government Services and client department staff, who worked together to achieve a consensus regarding northern building practices that are appropriate, economic and realistic. Simple, straightforward examples are used to illustrate and validate the practices. The guidelines are not intended to replace mandatory codes or regulations, but to supplement the National Building Code of Canada, specifically

    Sir Harold Evans Former Editor, The Sunday Times Media Masters – December 20, 2018 Listen to the podcast online, visit www.mediamasters.fm Welcome to Media Masters, a series of one-to-one interviews with people at the top of the media game. Today I’m here in New York, and joined by Sir Harold Evans, former editor of the Sunday Times. A reporter at 16, he completed National Service in the RAF before graduating from Durham University. He quickly rose through the ranks at the Manchester Evening News and became editor of the Northern Echo at 31. Revered throughout Fleet Street, his name is synonymous with the golden age of investigative journalism. During his 14-year tenure at the Sunday Times, he campaigned for and won compensation for children affected by thalidomide. He moved to the US in 1984 where he was founding editor of Condé Nast Traveler. Now editor- at-large at Reuters, he is also a best-selling author of a number of books on American history and journalism. Sir Harry, thank you for joining me. Pleasure. Even though you’re from Yorkshire. Yes. I know we... It’s the War of the Roses isn’t it? So we agree to set aside our differences for the next hour? I think we should, otherwise we’ll never get out of the studio. Well, indeed. You lot won, of course, but we’ll move swiftly on from that. It is a pleasure to talk to you, Sir Harry, I’ve been looking forward to this for many years. When I started this podcast three years ago, I remember saying to my wife at the time, “We need some big names on like Harold Evans.” So I’m very pleased.

  • Sarah Coakley and the Future of Systematic Theology
    Being George Eliot: An Impossible Standpoint? Janice McRandal “Coakley is the George Eliot of Theologians.”1 This claim, made by Mark Oppenheimer, has sat uncomfortably in my memory for many years now, punctuated by a perpetual question mark. Oppenheimer was most likely referring to the way prose operated in Coakley’s work, but the ambiguity, or rather the irony, of this analogy has stuck. Eliot, of course, chose to conceal her gender. It was a means to an end, a way to penetrate the literary community of the Victorian era; a choice she felt would allow her work to be taken seriously and shield her from the puritanical gaze. It was a successful strategy for Mary Ann Evans: George Eliot’s legacy is secure alongside the great writers of Western literature. But this is hardly an uncomplicated ascription, perhaps demonstrated by the lasting confusion surrounding Virginia Woolf’s famous declaring of Eliot’s Middlemarch to be “one of the few English novels written for grown- up people.”2 In Coakley’s case, writing systematic theology as a woman 1.

Regarding the vii COAKLEY AND THE FUTURE OF SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY has become an identity marker, a way in which her work is praised and critiqued.

  • Sarah Coakley
    god, sexuality, and the self God, Sexuality, and the Self is a new venture in systematic theology. Sarah Coakley invites the reader to reconceive the relation of sexual desire and the desire for God, and – through the lens of prayer practice – to chart the intrinsic connection of this relation to a theology of the Trinity. The goal is to integrate the demanding ascetical undertaking of prayer with the recovery of lost and neglected materials from the tradition, and thus to reanimate doctrinal reflection both imaginatively and spiritually. What emerges is a vision of human longing for the triune God which is both edgy and compelling: Coakley’s théologie totale questions standard shib- boleths on ‘sexuality’ and ‘gender’, and thereby suggests a way beyond current destructive impasses in the churches. The book is clearly and accessibly written, and will be of great interest to all scholars and students of theology. sarah coakley is Norris–Hulse Professor of Divinity at the University of Cambridge. Her publications include Religion and the Body (Cambridge, 2000), Powers and Submissions: Philosophy, Spirituality and Gender (2002), Pain and its Transformations (2008), The Spiritual Senses (with Paul L. Gavrilyuk; Cambridge, 2011), and Sacrifice Regained (Cambridge, 2012). Coakley is also the editor of Re-Thinking Gregory of Nyssa (2003) and co-editor (with Charles M. Stang) of Re-Thinking Dionysius the Areopagite (2009).

They do not prove the real connection between the religious symbols and the everyday realities by logical demonstration, but by life. Solvitur ambulando, said someone about Zeno’s paradox, which proves the impossibility of physical motion. It is solved by walking. Solvitur immolando, says the saint, about the paradox of the logicians. It is solved by sacrifice. —Austin Farrer v ABSTRACT 1. A perennial (if controversial) concern in both theology and philosophy of religion is whether religious belief is ‘reasonable’. Austin Farrer (1904-1968) is widely thought to affirm a positive answer to this concern. Chapter One surveys three interpretations of Farrer on ‘the believer’s reasons’ and thus sets the stage for our investigation into the development of his religious epistemology. 2. The disputed question of whether Farrer became ‘a sort of fideist’ is complicated by the many definitions of fideism.
