  • The Ship 2014/2015
    A more unusual focus in your magazine this College St Anne’s year: architecture and the engineering skills that make our modern buildings possible. The start of our new building made this an obvious choice, but from there we go on to look at engineering as a career and at the failures and University of Oxford follies of megaprojects around the world. Not that we are without the usual literary content, this year even wider in range and more honoured by awards than ever. And, as always, thanks to the generosity and skills of our contributors, St Anne’s College Record a variety of content and experience that we hope will entertain, inspire – and at times maybe shock you.

Ed will explain how LiDAR (Light, Distance and Ranging) has helped in both our interpretation of the historic landscape and our understanding of the past. He will also give a new view of various archaeological sites in Southern Oxfordshire. Ed Peveler Page 1 Review of the last Zoom talk on 26th April 2021 "PAGANS AND PURITANS" a talk given by Tim Healey From the Roman goddess Flora to the May Queen over two millennia, with side helpings of religion, ‘moorish’ dancing and alcohol, Tim’s talk was both illuminating and generously illuminated. The apparent simplicity of the celebration of the Rights of Spring was shown in fact to involve complexity and contradiction together with surprising connectivity over the centuries. Until the mid 18th century May time revels were always controversial even to the Chancellor of Oxford in 1250 prohibiting processions and dancing in Churches together with the display of garlands; oh the malign effect of flower power! The running duel between revellers and their adversaries reached its peak in 1644 when Parliament, following the Westminster Assembly of Divines (religious ministers, not politicians!) banned the maypole and subsequently all celebrations.

I am having a lie in this May morning. Often my friend Gloria, also a Twinning member, and I will get up at 4am to make our way to Magdalen College in Oxford to listen to the choir sing from the top of the tower to welcome in May Day. At 6am the thousands of people in the street fall silent and we listen to the choir singing in Latin. It is a tradition that goes back over 500 years. Then the dancing begins! Morris dancers, our traditional dancers, take to the streets, usually dressed in white with bells round their knees and waving white handkerchiefs or sticks. They are accompanied usually by an accordion or violin. We watch and mingle with the crowd and then, if we are really lucky, find somewhere to enjoy a great big English breakfast. Not this year though. Sadly ‘May Morning’ will be virtual, as it was last year. Gloria and I will be very happy to take friends from overseas another year, so think about it! In France your lovely tradition of offering bouquets of muguet (lily of the valley) on May Day can go ahead.
