This year we have a wealth of articles together with the familiar sections of Fellows and members’ news and reports from College societies and sports teams. This year’s issue has a strong historical focus, with articles about various periods of the College’s history, including the second foundress, Mary Countess of Shrewsbury, the changing uses of the Triangle Site and the study of humanism during the sixteenth century. The late Dr Alexander investigates the early life of a famous Johnian, while Andrew Gilligan reflects on how history will treat Tony Blair. Colin Greenhalgh looks back over the careers of two Johnian head teachers and their roles in inspiring generations for the future. Dr Mason provides a fascinating insight into the world of mammals and, in our Focus on a Fellow section, you can learn about the fieldwork undertaken by Dr Jiggins as he identifies new species of butterfly. You will also find an addition to the College Notes section, recording the achievements of our undergraduate and graduate students over the past year. Unfortunately an error was introduced to the referencing of The Eagle in 2008, when volume 90 was mistakenly numbered volume 110. This issue of The Eagle is numbered volume 92, which is correct according to the original sequence. If you would like an item to be considered for inclusion in The Eagle 2011, please contact the Development Office no later than February 2011. The content of The Eagle is agreed by the Publications and Public Relations Committee, which meets termly. Please submit notices for the Members’ News section, such as news of appointments, honours, births, marriages or publications, using the enclosed form or online at www.joh.cam.ac.uk/johnian/publications/members_news_form until 22 April 2011. www.joh.cam.ac.uk Page 7 THE EAGLE Contents & Editorial CONTENTS & EDITORIAL & CONTENTS Last but not least, a warm thank you to everyone who has been involved in this year’s issue of The Eagle, including contributors and members of College staff. I would particularly like to thank the Development Office team for their hard work.

Unlike in some recent years, the sun shone when it was needed – for garden parties and General Admission for example – and the night of the Ball was fine and dry. The Gentlemen of St John’s’ traditional 5.15 am slot succeeded in gathering together the (many) survivors in New Court prior to the famous 6.00 am photograph on the Backs. And there is much to cheer about in the emerging ARTICLES examination results, with a remarkable number of Johnians topping the Tripos lists and collecting University Prizes. When I was writing my message for last year’s Eagle we were about halfway through the celebrations of the 800th Anniversary of the University of Cambridge. I was able to report in particular the triumphant performance of the College Choir during the ‘Cambridge Prom’ at the Royal Albert Hall, in the presence of the Prince of Wales. Later in the year we were treated to a number of other ceremonies marking this historic year, culminating in the visit of the Queen to the University in mid-November. The Vice-Chancellor, in her Loyal Address on this occasion, reminded us that Her Majesty has unusually close connections with Cambridge: her mother was the first woman to be awarded a degree by the University – an honorary doctorate of Laws – conferred in 1948, two of her children were undergraduates here, and her husband has been Chancellor for over 30 years. And, of course, her predecessors were instrumental in founding at least five colleges, including St John’s. It was an occasion worthy of such an anniversary, with various junior and senior members of each college having an opportunity to meet the Queen. There was just one representative from outside Cambridge at the ceremony, the recently appointed Vice-Chancellor of Oxford, Professor Andrew Hamilton FRS, but he is not far outside as he is a Johnian. In order to help him in his challenging role he is fortunate to have the help of four other Johnians who are heads of colleges in Oxford. During the course of the year the name of the new Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge was announced to be Sir Leszek Borysiewicz FRS. Any transient disappointment that he was not a Johnian like his Oxford counterpart was short- lived when we realised that he is at least a Johnian parent, as his daughter read mathematics at St John’s. I am pleased to say that in his role in Cambridge he will also be able to count on the support of four Johnian heads of colleges! Page 10 www.joh.cam.ac.uk Articles THE EAGLE As well

Burton Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia Via della Faggiola, 32 56123 Pisa, Italy [email protected] Georgina M. Sawyer Laboratoire Magmas et Volcans, Université Blaise Pascal 5 rue Kessler, 63038 Clermont Ferrand, France and Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia Via della Faggiola, 32 56123 Pisa, Italy Domenico Granieri Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia Via della Faggiola, 32 56123 Pisa, Italy INTRODUCTION: VOLCANIC CO2 EMISSIONS IN THE GEOLOGICAL CARBON CYCLE Over long periods of time (~Ma), we may consider the oceans, atmosphere and biosphere as a single exospheric reservoir for CO2. The geological carbon cycle describes the inputs to this exosphere from mantle degassing, metamorphism of subducted carbonates and outputs from weathering of aluminosilicate rocks (Walker et al. 1981). A feedback mechanism relates the weathering rate with the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere via the greenhouse effect (e.g., Wang et al. 1976). An increase in atmospheric CO2 concentrations induces higher temperatures, leading to higher rates of weathering, which draw down atmospheric CO2 concentrations (Ber- ner 1991). Atmospheric CO2 concentrations are therefore stabilized over long timescales by this feedback mechanism (Zeebe and Caldeira 2008). This process may have played a role (Feulner et al. 2012) in stabilizing temperatures on Earth while solar radiation steadily increased due to stellar evolution (Bahcall et al. 2001). In this context the role of CO2 degassing from the Earth is clearly fundamental to the stability of the climate, and therefore to life on Earth.

  • My Main Research Interests Centre on the Science Behind Volcanoes and Volcanic Behaviour
    PROF. TAMSIN A. MATHER Department of Earth Sciences, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3AN, UK. Tel.: +44 (0)1865 282125 [email protected] My main research interests centre on the science behind volcanoes and volcanic behaviour. My motivation is to understand volcanoes as (a) natural hazards, (b) a key planetary scale process throughout geological time, playing a key role in change but vital for maintaining habitability and (c) natural resources (e.g., geothermal power and the development of ore deposits). I use techniques including satellite Earth Observation, remote and direct measurements of volcanic gas/aerosol, field mapping and petrological and geochemical analysis. I have also studied the emissions from an oil depot fire (Buncefield 2005) and am generally interested in the global mercury cycle as well as other biogeochemical cycles.
