Theology Old Member Honours

This year, two Keble Old Members have been awarded the highest degree of the University – the Doctor of Divinity. Professor David Law (1979) and Professor Susan Gillingham (1987) were both presented the degree at a ceremony in the Sheldonian on 1 August in recognition of their work, which has been judged to ‘constitute an original contribution to the advancement of theological knowledge of such substance and distinction as to give the candidate an authoritative status in this branch of learning’. This degree has only been awarded to 76 individuals over the last ninety years.

In documenting her research, she uses a large format Tachihara film camera. The process is time-consuming and inefficient, but results in a photographic richness lost in digital photography. Also, the way subjects responded to the camera, to its slowness, to the photographer’s care with it, makes the process feel more consensual – like a shared project.

As I tried to What I started to see, those first weeks in New Brunswick, were figure out why this seemed to matter so much to New Brunswickers, hints of an ontology that didn’t quite line up with the one with who were uncharacteristically vociferous in their outrage, I met which I was familiar, the purportedly Western one, of science and lumberjacks, mill workers, lawyers, activists and union organizers, of capitalism. Anthropologists have tended to identify ontological and they began to introduce me to the dark story of this province, deviance among distant peoples – remote Amazonian tribes, tiny its persistent patterns of violence and exploitation. They assured me Papua New Guinean communities – but it was soon apparent to that Irving ran the province like a company town. They told me they me that these Canadian men who worked in the woods, who spent were slaves. I scoured academic sources for what I assumed would more time with the forest than with their wives, had a different be a more sober, balanced perspective, but scholars too spoke of relationship to trees than I did.

I lived in and their happiness and their potential. Syria for five years and observed that, in such a brutal dictatorship, there is much to learn about fear, and the silences it carves. The withering of that silence was one of the most meaningful shifts I observed during the early days of the revolution. People started saying names out loud, names of members of the ruling family, names of infamous secret police chiefs, names I’d never heard before. Naming became power. The words themselves were revolt. In New Brunswick, I watched people tiptoe around the name ‘Irving’, both a company – actually, an estimated group of at least four hundred companies, ranging across industries including forestry, oil, newspapers, and trucking – and the three brothers who rule the province so often known as Irvingland or the Irving Empire.

In College Young Alumni BBQ Saturday 28 May Engaging 12.30-2.30pm Young Alumni n an age of Social Media and the ever increasing number of ways by which people stay in touch with one other, the Alumni i and Development Office is endeavouring to be more diverse in the range of ways we reach out to Old Members and particularly Young Alumni. This group, from 1996 onwards, perhaps more than most, on the early path of their association with the College as Old Members, have a wealth of choices vying for their attention literally in the palms of their hands. About 130 undergraduates and 80 graduates transfer from current students to Old Members each year. About 3,700 Old Members fall in the Young Alumni bracket and, inevitably, the majority (64%) live in the UK with most of these in the SE region. Overseas, the largest group is in the USA followed by China, and then Germany. How are we engaging this group? One way is giving the College A new addition to the event calendar this year has been the OXmas Social Media links a greater and wider prominence in any output Drinks for Young Alumni in London in late November. Promoted from the Alumni and Development Office. Follow them to almost exclusively via Facebook, attendance of over 100 Young discover what we and your fellow alumni are doing. Alumni has proven that social media does indeed work! Holding specific events for Young Alumni is another way. For the second year we held a Young Alumni Garden Party in College on the afternoon of Saturday of Eights Week in late May (pictured right). Billed as an informal drinks party, numbers doubled this year. Next year, with the introduction of a BBQ lunch, perhaps Ruth Cowen they will triple. Alumni Relations Manager

Perspective from both ends of the Young Alumni spectrum Lisa Weston Year Group Rep for 1997 I have been attending the Entrepreneurs Evenings, the London Lectures and the triennial Law Dinner for some years and really enjoy the contact with the College. A couple of years ago I organised the first Keble Lawyers Drinks in London and we have held several since. They are now open to Alumni who may not have studied law at Keble and through this I have built up a network of contacts to share information about upcoming College events. Facebook and LinkedIn are fantastic resources – the power of social media cannot be underestimated when arranging our Lawyers events for example, and drove numbers up considerably at the last event across a wider range of year groups.

I must add that the support and encouragement of the Alumni and Development Office has made it relatively easy to stay in touch with other Keble Old Members.

Katherine Skingsley Year Group Rep for 2011 As a recent graduate, I am still very close to many Keble friends, and it is fantastic to have opportunities throughout the year to reconnect with the College. As a Keble Young Alumni (KYA) Year Group Representative, I try to keep my year abreast of College alumni events via the 2011 Facebook group, but I would strongly advocate reading the emails from College about upcoming events – both the Oxford and London-based lectures, sports matches, and other get-togethers. I think it is fantastic that Keble is really stepping up their efforts to connect further with younger alums, and I encourage all to get involved with the new Keble Young Alumni events.

31 Financial Report

t’s normally a challenge to write anything new or particularly interesting about the College’s financial i position. The key elements change little from year to year and the report on 2014-15 is not wildly different from that of its recent predecessors. In summary:

yy We broke even at the operating level; yy We spent about £1.4m on capital projects (in particular, the sixth phase of an eight-phase programme to renovate the Victorian rooms and corridors), largely funded by the depreciation charge; yy Donations to the endowment roughly matched the annual draw under our spending rule, allowing our endowment to grow by the total return, which in 2014-15 year was a healthy 12.6%.

So, good news, but not exactly spell-binding. All that is about to change.

In October, Governing Body took the decision to proceed Fixed Assets with the redevelopment of the Acland site and committed itself to a project which, both in the short and the longer term, will Endowment radically alter the finances of the College. In the next three (Debt) years the balance sheet will double. 97 Net Assets 85 Fixed assets will grow by £60m, half funded by debt, the rest doubtless be many problems and set-backs along the way. by the gifts which the Warden has written about in the Special 64.7 Bulletin. So net assets will go up by about £30m.

From 2018 onwards the focus shifts to income and 41.5 expenditure (or, as the Charity SORP Accounts will have it, 36.9 the Statement of Financial Activities). Once the site is fully 27.1 operational, it should be generating an operating surplus of £1.3m. This will be used to pay interest and build up a sinking fund for the ultimate repayment of the debt. Even at very 0 30/09/2018 Projected 31/07/2015 Actual modest levels of inflation, that surplus will steadily grow £m £m whereas the interest charge is fixed (at 3.366%, just over £1m, p.a.). Were inflation to average 2% the sinking fund would have reached £30m within about 30 years. Repayment is actually due in ten equal instalments over the last ten years -30 of the forty-year loan.

The Warden has described the gifts as transformational. They But it’s reassuring to remember that those meeting at the are, in the long term, doubly transformational. Not only do graveside of John Keble in April 1866 must have been equally they give the College a magnificent new set of buildings nervous about the project upon which they were embarking, serving the graduate and research agendas in a uniquely and equally excited. innovative way. They also give the College a new stream of income which, once the debt is repaid, is the equivalent (in current values) of a more than doubling of our endowment!1

We have a huge challenge to get from where we are to the Roger Boden (1965) (hopefully) sunlit uplands of Michaelmas 2018 and there will Bursar

1 Under our spending rule we transfer annually from the endowment 3.15% of the average closing value of the endowment over the previous three years. The endowment required to generate £1.3m p.a. is thus £41.3m.

32 The Keble Review 2015 Farewell to...

Kate Gross OBE Denis Dunbar Gibbs (1978-2014) (1927-2015) It is always a shock to learn of the death of a former Denis Gibbs, a direct descendant of the principal student.
