From the Director of Development

Welcome to the seventh issue of Once a Caian..., the magazine for all members of the Caian community. Together, Caians, parents and friends contribute, each year, over a quarter of the cost of running the College. We thank you for such outstanding loyalty and generosity, an eloquent expression of gratitude for the past and faith in the future. We are proud that Caius again featured in the annual Cambridge 800th Anniversary Campaign Report. Last year it recorded Contents the funding of the Stephen Hawking Building and this year’s Report recognised Derek Ingram Yao Liang the 95 Caians who showed what can be achieved collectively by raising £1million to endow the Neil McKendrick College Lectureship. In Once a Caian..., we try to paint a picture of the College in the present, 2 6 12 showcasing the current achievements of Fellows and students and inviting older members to reminisce and reflect, to provide a perspective on how the community to which we all belong is evolving over the decades. In this issue we learn about the research of Dr Julian Allwood (2000), whose work is part of Cambridge’s significant and complex contribution to global challenges and the sustainable development agenda. Dr Ruth Scurr (2006) takes us behind the scenes in the literary world as she describes her role judging the 2007 Booker Prize. Dr Jimmy Altham (1965), as Chairman of the College Works Committee, Gloucestershire EchoGloucestershire Mick LeMoignan shares the challenges of maintaining Harvey Court. Dan White We understand that our supporters have various priorities: some wish to invest in the College’s future while others would prefer their gifts to have an 24 29 32 immediate impact, benefitting students today. Accordingly, we have set up an Annual Fund, where donations will not be added to the Endowment but will be applied immediately to the College’s current needs. You can read more about this in “Caius Calling!” Julia Gilbert (1996) has kindly supplied the College with Boat Club programmes going back to 1987. I would like to add my support to the appeal in CaiNotes for earlier programmes from the Lent and May Bumps to complete the College’s records.

Finella is an extraordinary house the College owns on the Backs. It was rented in the late 1920s by Mansfield Forbes who helped establish Cambridge’s English Faculty. With the help of the architect Raymond McGrath, Forbes transformed an ordinary Victorian villa into a modernist hymn to the mythical queen of Scotland, Finella: “a woman ahead of her times” who died when she hurled herself into a glass fountain. The house has fallen into some disrepair, but architectural students still visit to admire the innovative use of glass. Booker contenders.
