Christopher Douglas Waddams WELL remember Christopher Waddams visiting the College prior to his being elected Chaplain in 1929. He lunched with me, and I that was the beginning of a friendship that ripened with the years. But although I may have been one of the first to get to know him, he soon became the friend of all the College—domestic staff, undergraduates and fellows. There have been members who have become more distinguished or played a more important part in the world, but to few, if any, has it been given to become so much part of the College. He was loved and trusted by all, and it mattered not if the man was atheist, Free Churchman, Roman Catholic or Anglican; he was entertained and made at home in his rooms, and nearly always became a close friend. It was his absolute integrity of character, his humble- ness, and straight-forward friendliness that gave him a position and influence which, in the fifty years I have known the College, stand unique. The letters he received during his illness, the hundreds of greeting cards at Christmas, and the value placed on his circular letters to his numerous friends are but tokens that show what people thought of him. He came to us directly from a curacy at Christ Church, Clapham, where he had spent a year after leaving Ely Theological College. Before that he had been at Jesus where he had a very distinguished career. He went up as a scholar from Latymer Upper School and took first classes in both parts of the Mathematical Tripos; in Part II he was starred in Schedule B. Two years later he was placed in the first class of the second part of the Theological Tripos. Jesus had meanwhile elected him to the Lady Kay Scholarship. He also found time to take the degree of B.Sc. (Hons) of London. An academic career was open to him, but he knew that his work was to be in the Ministry, and before all he was a Priest and a most devout Christian. At first meeting he may have seemed rigid and perhaps lacking in an understanding of the difficulties and problems that worry most of us. 6 St Catharine's College Society Magazine

But as time went on and he became less shy and more experienced, possibly more mellow, it was realized not only by those who knew him well, but also by an ever increasing number of men, how deep was his sympathy and understanding. In his help and advice he was direct and practical and said what he meant. It was no use explaining how many good works you had done, or intended to do, if you could not at the same time convince him that you were doing some good work! The College, when it made him first Chaplain (1929) and then Fellow (1930) did better than it realized at the time. There is no doubt that had he wished he could have continued some research he had begun in Mathematics, and that in due course he might well have become a University teacher. On the other hand, with his interest in the Philo- sophy of religion he could equally well have devoted his life's work to Theology. It is, however, to the lasting benefit of the College that he decided to do neither of those things, but to dedicate himself to the spiritual life of the College and to the building up of a tradition of hard work and good scholarship in Mathematics. Those who remember the 'thirties will always have in mind the strong contrast between two men who, in their different ways, did so much for the Chapel and all it stands for—Chaytor and Waddams. They were very different in their personalities, in their churchmanship, and in their approach to problems, but they were firm friends and enjoyed one another's whims and humours. It could not have been easy for a shy young parson to preach in Chapel during his first year or so, but Chaytor and Waddams each helped the other, and there is no doubt that the great influence Christopher Waddams came to have in College was in part the outcome of their friendship. One of the stringent influences in his life came from his membership of the Oratory of the Good Shepherd, in which he was professed in 1931. Some of his most intimate friends were also members, in particular Edward Wynn and Wilfred Knox. As an undergraduate at Jesus he had coxed a boat, and throughout his life he maintained a great interest in rowing and could always be called upon to support the Boat Club, and perhaps to look the other way on occasions when the boats had done particularly well; but he was equally a supporter of all College activities and a regular visitor to the playing fields. He held several College Offices. For some years he was Praelector, and later became a Tutor, and finally Senior Tutor. He took a great interest in the changes that have recently taken place in the methods St Catharine's College Society Magazine 7 of entry into the University, and was a member of a committee of tutors that recommended them. For a time he was Steward, but it was an office he did not care for, and one which gave him much worry. In the war he was indefatigable and acted throughout as Air Raid Warden. Many an hour, even whole nights, he spent on the roof of Hobson's, and it is attributed to him that he made the remark, ' Ah, that's one of ours! ', a moment or two before a stick of bombs was dropped on the Union! Those days in College were busy and strenuous; there were often difficult situations as well as amusing ones. During part of the war the Bull was an ' American College ' and was governed by a warden. On one occasion, when a change of warden was made, Christopher very thoughtfully invited him to dinner—to discover at the last moment that a lady had been appointed, and that the meal must be transferred from Hall to a private room.

All will remember some particular incident associated with him, and all will realize something of what he did for the College. He loved it and gave his whole life to it, and we are the gainers. He was not interested in money nor in high position. He was more than generous in so many ways. Many will remember holidays with him or will know how he helped them by advice or, if necessary, with money. He enjoyed travel, but he did not go beyond Europe. He spent many holidays in north Devon and, more recently, in Scotland. Shortly before he entered the Evelyn Nursing Home he stayed at a small house he rented near Clashnessie. The three friends who were with him made the holiday possible, but he was far too weak to derive any benefit from it. Many of us, too, know how much he meant in family life—at marriage, at christenings, and at deaths. His God-children must be legion! He remembered everyone, and all knew how kind and generous he could be. He did not seek preferment, but his appointment as an Honorary Canon of Ely gave very real pleasure not only to his family but to all his friends. Outside College he was, as far as time permitted, always willing to help, and there will be many who remember his work on the Fruiting Campaigns and the discom- forts he sometimes suffered.

He will be remembered with affection, and the College and all of us individually are the richer and better for his goodness, humility, friendship, and above all his true Christianity. J. A. Steers 8 St Catharine's College Society Magazine

News of the Society

nalysis of the new College Register shows that the membership of the Society at the end of August this year was 3,697 of whom A 250 have no address. The Annual Reunion. It had been thought that members would gather in numbers greater than usual in order to dine in the Hall on what was thought to be the last opportunity; but, in the event, attendance was normal for a Saturday in recent years, and 152 members and two guests—only five less than Saturday's record—filled the Hall and overflowed into the Senior Combination Room. Significantly, the fall in attendance occurred almost entirely in the 1920 and 1930 groups, and although the latter still mustered in numbers larger than any other group, it fell below 50 for the first time since 1959 when it was 48. Not unexpectedly, therefore, the ' degree age' advanced to between 1941 and '42. 1962 1963 1964 1965 1890s 1 1 2 1 1900s 2 2 1 1 1910s 4 1 3 2 1920s 28 29 33 21 1930s 52 52 55 47 1940s 27 33 32 31 1950s 14 22 31 33 1960s 5 11 9 9 (These figures relate only to members of the Society who matriculated at St Catharine's.) To the Society's regret—conveyed and duly acknowledged in a charming letter—R. C. D. Armitage (B.A. 1899) was unable to attend, and it was left to his contemporary, the Reverend F. E. Smith, to represent the Victorians. Seven fathers with sons attendant equalled the number present last year: Dr S. C. Aston (B.A. 1937, Fellow 1943) with H. A. F. (B.A. 1965), R. F. Champness (B.A. 1924) with C. J. (B.A. 1954), the Reverend B. E. Knight (B.A. 1934) with the Reverend A. F. (B.A. 1961), H. H. McCleery (B.A. 1930) with B. H. (B.A. 1957), W. P. Speake (B.A. 1930) with C. J. (B.A. 1962), W. J. Strachan (B.A. 1924) with J. G. (B.A. 1958), and E. Williamson (B.A. 1924) with M. (1950). 10 St Catharine's College Society Magazine

The Register and the Magazine. The necessity for reaching all St Catharine's men in connexion with the Building Appeal has meant a thorough overhaul of the College Register, and this, in turn, has resulted in a flood of personal information for the magazine that is always welcome even if it does verge on the embarrassing. Items under Miscellaneous, the Society's ' Gossip Column', reveal the problem that results. As a rule, these seldom reach 150. There were 118 last year, and they took up eight pages. But this year they were approach- ing 400, and threatening to take up a third of a magazine of normal size, when production costs, apart from editorial considerations, called a halt. And, of course, other sections of the magazine are similarly swollen. Reluctantly, therefore, a certain amount of information has had to be held over, and the Editor expresses his regret for any disappointment which may result. As it is, there are still 287 items in the ' Gossip Column '—a record in more senses than one, for the first of three correspondents, referring to the same person, placed him in England, the second in Scotland, and the third in Canada!

A Suggestion. H. I. Miller (B.A. 1946), who is Managing Director of the well-known Phaidon Press, writes: ' When I was last in America, I was impressed by the Harvard University Alumni's Association publication fifty years after a graduating class. Each year they produce a book in which surviving members of a class which graduated fifty years previously write letters or essays describing the life which they have led since leaving college, the lessons they have learned, and the joys and disasters which have befallen them. It is a publication with varying literary merit, but of great interest. It occurred to me that we might include in the College magazine a few letters from graduates of fifty years' standing and find out how their years at College enriched their subsequent life.'

The Society in London. The Secretary writes: 'The London Group held their Annual Dinner on Friday, 11th December 1964, in the House of Commons under the sponsorship of Mr Ian Percival, M.P. Before enjoying an excellent dinner in the Harcourt Room, the Group were able to see the Houses of Parliament, and after dinner Mr D. C. L. Marwood, presiding, Sir Augustus Walker, Mr Ian Percival and the Master between them proposed and replied to the toasts of the Society and the College. The Group also held, once again, a wine-and-cheese party on the 4th June at the Ski Club of Great Britain, at the kind invitation of Mr R. D. J. Simson, and although it fell on Whitsun weekend, sixty-one people attended.' St Catharine's College Society Magazine 11

' New members are always welcome in the London Group. We have to charge a nominal subscription of £1 for three years membership to cover our secretarial expenses, and this should be sent to the Honor- ary Secretary, G. C. M. Dunbar, New Timbers, 46 Greenhill Road, Otford, near Sevenoaks, Kent. The next meeting of the London Group will be for the Annual Dinner on the 10th December at the President Hotel which is managed by Richard Walduck (B.A. 1962).'*

The Society in Yorkshire. The Secretary writes: ' After ten years of existence the Yorkshire Branch is now firmly established. Changes have taken place. Regretfully the Branch had to accept the resignation of the Reverend Canon J. S. Purvis, the Branch's President. Canon Purvis is forbidden to travel at night, and the Branch offers its grateful thanks to him for his past services. Anthony Bower was unanimously voted President in his place. The Branch is also losing its resident Chairman for Professor Dainton has been appointed Vice-Chancellor of the University of Nottingham. The Branch's congratulations and good wishes go with him, but he will still maintain strong links with Leeds and, in particular, with the Branch.'

' At the Annual Dinner the Branch welcomed the Master who began his reply with an apposite reference to the County's ducks and drakes, and then proceeded to give a masterly account of the College activities and the proposed building changes. E staircase, it seems, is tottering on crutches to its final demise, and a new Jerusalem of ' bed- sits ' will rise complete with more than the usual ' mod-cons ', but above all the ' life o' the building' will be reborn.'* The Society in the West. The Secretary writes: ' The 1965 annual dinner was held at Fosters Rooms, Bristol, on 2nd April. Eighteen local members were present, some from as far afield as Buckingham- shire, South Wales and Devon, but a number of others were kept away by business or other commitments. The Reverend Canon J. B. Chutter presided, and Mr W. K. Lacey represented the Master and Fellows. In proposing the toast to the College, the Reverend C. D. R. Sharpe, the senior member present, harked back to days before some of his hearers were born, and suggested that, although times may change, the College has always given inspiration to the generations of men who have passed through it. Mr Lacey replied to the toast, giving a racey account of present-day doings in all fields of College activity, and describing the imaginative rebuilding scheme which is now being undertaken.' ' The Branch was also pleased to welcome as a special guest Mr R. H. V. Biles, the Building Appeal Campaign Organizer, who outlined the general plan of campaign and put in some very good ground work for when the Appeal comes to be launched.'+ ' The next dinner will take place in Bristol on Friday, 25th March 1966—local members please note—and will any St Catharine's men in the West Country who are not on the circulation list but would like to be included, please get in touch with J. R. Haigh, Barnicott, Chelvey Batch, Brockley, near Bristol? '

The Society in Manchester. The Secretary writes: ' The second annual dinner was held on the 21st October 1964 in the refectory at the University of Manchester. Our Chairman was W. F. Nicholson, our guest from the College C. R. Benstead who showed us the wonderful plans for the future buildings, and left us to guess how we should pay for them. This we did—and no doubt shall do.'+

The Annual Cricket Match. A correspondent writes: ' No doubt with last year's happenings in mind when the O.C.C.s were subjected to the indignity of an opening stand of 160 by the College, a number of subtle changes in tactics had been evolved for the fixture in 1965. One of these involved the introduction of an ageing umpire, under the pseudonym of Smith, whose recent allegiance to the College was doubtful but whose performance under a barrage of queries from former colleagues was impeccable. The O.C.C.s' wicketkeeper appeared to hold some particular appeal for him, and on four occasions there was evidence of a common expression of thought. Another was the arrival, after lunch, of a second Smith who seized the ball with relish and proceeded to hurl it ferociously at both batsmen and wickets, and later, when called upon to bat, despatched it with prodigious swipes out of the ground. Yet another was the presence of the Chair- man of the Test Selectors, and so concerned were the seven College bowlers that he should have the maximum opportunity of studying their potential for the England team, that he was persuaded to stay at the crease for at least two hours before the Smiths decided that the possibility of their being selected for any representative side was small and between them ran him out. Finally, just when the College players were dreaming of a break-through, the formidable figure of the Bursar was seen pacing in front of the pavilion and playing a number of strokes that could only have meant the destruction of any College fielders within fifty yards of the wicket, and they decided that humble defeat was perferable to such a visitation. Before that, Hazell had turned on the best fast bowling performance for several seasons, and Commings, Cottrell and Holsman had batted to some purpose and enlivened the proceedings. But this was undoubtedly a match for the Smiths.'

+Those present at the dinner were: W. F. Nicholson (B.A. 1930), Chairman; Mr C. R. Benstead, representing the College; J. G. Bird (B.A. 1931), Secretary T. N. L. Brown (B.A. 1939), B. E.

The General Meeting of the Society, 1965 F last year's meeting was touched with the magic of revelation in the plans for the College renaissance, this, the 37th in the Society's I history, was soberly appraising: members counted the cost. It was therefore the Society's good fortune to have Sir Ivor Jennings in the chair, for only one skilled in controlling the University's General Board—a garrulous body, it seems—could have dealt with matters so daunting and provocative in what proved to be the shortest A.G.M. on record. That the Secretary's report shared this distinction in brevity was mere coincidence. It did, however, enable members to welcome the Reverend F. E. Smith (B.A. 1899), the only Victorian present, and appreciate a kindly rememberance from the Reverend D. Taylor Wilson (B.A. 1896).

The Financial Position of the Society. This, the Treasurer thought, was ' fairly good ' though hardly robust, the profit on the year's working being 6s. 9d. Nor was the sharp rise in the cost of the magazine cause for alarm. That was abnormal. Apart from the space devoted to the building plan in the 1964 issue, four hundred copies had been printed in connexion with the Appeal, and to cover this special expenditure, the College had generously contributed £100. But the Society had to bear in mind that costs were steadily rising. Postage had recently gone up yet again—a significant item—and each year the Society increases by about one hundred and thirty; for the scheme that now enables undergraduates to pay their life-subscriptions by instalments on their College bills, also means that every one joins the Society. The Committee therefore proposed—and members agreed— that the life subscription of three guineas should now be raised to four. It had last been raised in 1958.

How much the Society owes to the vigilance of its Committee, Dr Topsfield made clear in the further proposal to make over the bulk of its assets to the College. Prudent investment had raised these to a market value of some £3,000, a sum that was, for the moment, without specific purpose but in the shadow of the tax on capital gains, and the Society, though charitably inclined, was not a charity itself. Clearly something had to be done, and what could be more attractive than a haven in the new buildings, to be called, perhaps, The Society Room? Nothing, apparently, for placid reference to such esoteric mysteries as Gilt Edge, Trusts and Equities, quickly confirmed both the Committee's genius and this excellent proposal.

The Quincentenary and Building Appeal. Mr A. A. Heath, out- lining the broad financial situation, stressed that the Quincentenary Appeal Fund, as originally conceived, still had a 'big job ahead'. The College, which would need a considerable sum of money next year, had sought professional assistance; a joint Quincentenary and Building Committee had been set up; and there was inevitably a lull, but only a lull, in Quincentenary affairs. As the Quincentenary Fund stood at the moment, it was, of course, ' feeling the political wind '. The most obvious result was that, although income during the year had exceeded £8,000, the accumulated fund showed a rise of only a few hundred, and, he felt, the Appeal Committee was ' right to play it safe '. The Master then unveiled the immediate problem and the steps being taken to solve it. Under the guidance of the Resident Campaign Director from Messrs Hooker and Craigmile, preparations for launching the ' professional ' building appeal in October were so far advanced that not only have local directors been found for thirteen of the fourteen districts into which the country is divided, but during the last month, even in this preliminary stage, over £10,000 has already been donated and a further £13,000 promised towards the target of £150,000 set for this ' immediate ' appeal. Of that £13,000, the Master and Fellows are contributing £10,000, an average of about £400 per head. To meet the total building cost of £650,000—a sum which, the Master stressed, the Governing Body had no intention of exceeding—the College itself could find some £300,000, and it was therefore apparent that the amount which has to be borrowed depends largely on what the Quin- centenary Appeal produces. The Governing Body has long seen borrowing as ' an inescapable need ', and now interest rates are rising. Instead of the 41/2 per cent on which earlier calculations were based, one was lucky to borrow at 6 1/2 today. The importance of the Quin- centenary Fund is therefore clear. Moreover, it is impossible to ' stop and wait ' for cheaper money. If some costs go down, others will surely go up, and—not least—the building project was a joint one with King's, made in good faith.

So, the Master concluded, we have come to ' a desperately important moment in the history of the College '. We had to press on, and we also had to avoid hanging a load of debt round our successors. Already the Committee had done much to lessen the likelihood of that. Now it held the promise of doing even more, and he was grateful. 18 St Catharine's College Society Magazine

Election of Officers, the Benevolent Fund and Honoraria. It may seem indelicate to lump these diverse matters together, but the easy swiftness of their separate disposal at this 37th meeting came so near to a collective motion that no charge can be sustained, and, of course, there is much to be said for decorous haste on a warm summer's evening. In brief, the Society properly and unanimously did exactly what was expected of it, and, as the result, Mr C. Belfield Clarke (B.A. 1917) succeeds Sir Ivor Jennings as President for 1965-66; the retiring Committee members—A. G. Sloan (B.A. 1922), R. F. Champ- ness (B.A. 1924) and S. C. Aston (B.A. 1937)—give the Society the advantage of their counsel for another spell, all being eligible for re- election; members learned with approval not only that a loan of £120 had been made from the Benevolent Fund, interest free, but also that it was being repaid in monthly instalments; and Dr Topsfield had only to ask and the £25 for honoraria was gladly given. The Annual Reunion. The problem of next year's meeting—even the possibility of holding one in Cambridge—was left to the College whose decision has happily been made in time for insertion here, in the proof stage of the magazine. Briefly, Dr Sydney Smith, the Steward, has undertaken to produce a dinner in the temporary kitchens which have been built in the main court, and—all being well—it will be eaten in Hall on Friday, the 17th June 1966. The difficulty is seating accomo- dation. The Senior Combination Room is no longer available for an overflow, and it may be necessary to limit attendance. Every effort will be made not to do so in the belief that members would prefer to sacrifice a little elbow-room, rather than miss an occasion which can hardly fail to be memorable. The usual dinner notices will be sent out. A.O.B. Virtually there was none. For a moment, when a question was put about the possible difficulty of staffing the new dining hall, it seemed that the levity hitherto inseparable from business under this heading would intrude, for the Master's assurance that there was no difficulty in obtaining casual waiters did remind members of a cheerful willingless that suggested more vigorous labour during the day. But a matter so important had not escaped the Governing Body's attention. The new Hall was economic in both design and operation, and the Chairman's prompt closure of the meeting released members from the contemplation of facts and figures no less illuminating for being just as economic. It was now the turn of the Resident Campaign Director who awaited members in the Campaign Office by the Plans Room in the Bull. St Catharine's College Society Magazine 19

The Quincentenary Appeal The following is a provisional valuation of the Fund at 31st Decem- ber 1964, the figure for the corresponding period a year ago being shown in brackets: Accumulated Fund £54,789 (£41,001) Profit on investments at market value .. .. 2,461 (15,474) Covenants still to be performed .. .. 10,911 (10,342) Recoverable tax on future payments, calculated at 7s. 0d. in the £ 5,875 (5,569) Tax recoverable on current income .. .. 3,307 (3,111) Subscriptions under standing order, estimated to continue for 5 years 6,000 (6,000) Known bequests .. 920 (909) Reversions ...... 925 (254) £85,188 (£82,660)

The political situation last autumn involved a decision to liquidate a number of investments in market conditions that were unfavourable. As a consequence, the Accumulated Fund at market value has changed little during the year, although some £8,000 of income has accrued, but there still remains a large element of capital growth in the investments. Following the decision to employ professional assistance in fund raising for the new buildings, it has been necessary to halt the work of the Appeal Committee. This, as it happens, has coincided with the completion of a large number of covenants established when the appeal was launched, and the number of covenants has fallen off considerably. When the period of intensified fund-raising is at an end, the Governing Body will have borrowed a large proportion of its capital, and the need for the Quincentenary Fund to do the maximum to reduce this borrowing before 1973 will remain a vital and worthwhile objective. In conclusion, I would like to make my customary acknowledgment to the work of Mr J. F. Pirie, as the Secretary of the Trustees, Mr J. D. Cormie, for dealing with the problems of tax recovery, and Mr T. M. Carmichael for his attention to the audit. A. A. Heath, Chairman of Trustees and the Appeal Committee St Catharine's College Society Magazine 21

The Annual Dinner, 1965 HE Society held its Annual Dinner in the College Hall on Satur- day, the 19th June, and Sir Ivor Jennings presided. It was a T memorable occasion, for the opportunity was taken to recognize a life-time of service rendered to the College by Mr J. F. Ablett, the Manciple, who is retiring at the end of September. Sir Ivor Jennings, proposing the toast to the College in a speech of delightful humour, confessed to being something of a renegade, for time had divided his allegiance. In theory at least, he could now eat three dinners every night—at Trinity Hall, Downing and St Catharine's —but, as Master of Trinity Hall, he was in a difficult position when St Catharine's May Boat bumped Trinity Hall. Nor could he fail to notice, with envy, the large number of First Classes that St Catharine's now collects, and the monopoly held in the Geographical Tripos. One advantage of reunions such as these is that members can inform themselves of the changes that are taking place. He himself had found that the room he once shared with the late Professor Har- greaves is now a lavatory, but he had yet to see a plaque outside— ' Jennings Slept Here'. He was reminded, too, that St Catharine's in earlier building had—if the expression is correct—absorbed three public houses, the White Swan, the Three Horseshoes and the George. And he went on to warn the College that, by some curious division of responsibility in the distant past, the care of St Edward's Parish rested, not with the Bishop of Ely, but with the Master and Fellows of Trinity Hall, and the new buildings of St Catharine's would be more or less under his spiritual jurisdiction. This meant that he could sell the College any marriage licenses they wanted, and formally walk through the College every three years. Such perambulation, however, had fallen into abeyance with the passing of the Mitre and the Three Tuns since, with them, also passed the bottles of white wine to which the procession was entitled, apart from the other refreshment which the Minister of St Edward's had to provide ' at the Bench in Trinity Hall's Backside'. The rebuilding of half the College really was a great adventure, and it shows the courage of the Governing Body as well as the generosity of the Master and Fellows—a generosity so impressive that he was asking the College to send him, here and now, a seven-year covenant. Replying for the College, Mr R. N. Gooderson expressed Ms pleasure at being able to realize the ambition of every junior—to appear, that is, with one so ' learned in the law ' as the Society's 22 St Catharine's College Society Magazine

President. His task, he said, was to let members know what was going on within the College, and, for a start, he had to pay tribute to Stanley Aston whose handling, as Bursar, of the tremendous adjustment of College life to the imminent upheaval had all the precision of a military operation. Then, at the other place, apparently known today for its screaming tyres and lost causeways, the Master had been elected an Honorary Fellow of Worcester College; further afield, Tom Henn was soon to receive an Honorary LL.D. at the University of British Columbia; and here at home, Donald Portway still holds the boring record of four wins in a row against Oxford, the maximum possible—a record which was at stake in this year's Varsity match. Incidentally, a St Catharine's man, T. M, Corry, won the match for Cambridge by knocking out his heavy-weight opponent in the last bout. There was distinction, too, on the river where David Roberts and Pat Moore were rowing Blues and rivals in the final of the Magdalene pairs, David Roberts being one of the winning pair; and St Catharine's also won the Clinker Fours. As for the Firsts to which Sir Ivor had referred, the College had certainly done well in Geography with eight out of a possible fifteen, and the overall results gave every indication of being just as satisfactory.* All in all, it was an impressive recital, and, on this eve of great events, the College looked ahead with confidence, united with the Society in enthusiasm for a project as exciting as it was ambitious.

So the formal stage of the reunion ran its course, but the Society still had to discharge its debt of gratitude to Mr Ablett. Already the Governing Body had elected him a Fellow Commoner in recognition of forty-four years of devoted and unparallelled service to the College'. Now it remained for Sir Ivor Jennings to present a pair of silver Georgian candlesticks as a lasting symbol. Most St Catharine's men will know Mr Ablett as a fount of guidance. Many, too, will recall that he is not only a Magistrate but also a football administrator whose skill and love of the game have taken him to the Chairmanship of the Cambridgeshire Football Association.

Speaking quietly, and with deep sincerity, he accepted the Society's gift ' as an outward token of intangibles that have enhanced his life '—a life in which he had been privileged to serve the College and become, as it were, part of it. He had been married in the Chapel; his children

*The total of 54 Firsts in the final count exceeds by eight the record year of 1946 when there were special releases from the Services after the war. St Catharine's College Society Magazine 23 had been christened there, his daughter married there. All that was really important in his life had happened in St Catharine's, and with his thanks to the College and the Society, there was also his gratitude. And so, in turn, the Society paid its own tribute and bade farewell to a friend.

Obituaries

REAR-ADMIRAL HAMILTON COLCLOUGH ALLEN Died—7th December 1964 It might be said that Rear-Admiral H. C. Allen was a St Catharine's man by adoption, for the College gave him hospitality when he com- manded the naval cadets in training at Cambridge during the Second World War, and he was certainly an appreciative guest. Already accustomed to the academic scene—he had been Captain of the Royal Na.val College at Greenwich in the early thirties, shortly before his retirement—he entered the life of both the University and St Catharine's with a zest that did not pass without reward, for the University allowed him the M.A. degree and, greatest privilege of all, the College—hiding Its smile—readily gave him permission to wear a St Catharine's tie. Cambridge, in fact, provided an Indian summer to a career which began with the Boxer rebellion in China, and today the College recalls a gay and charming colleague rather than the chance stranger within its gates. He was 81.

SIR HOWARD D'EGVILLE Died—9 th January 1965 Howard Hervet d'Egville came into residence in 1898 and went on to a legal career that led to great distinction on the fringe of Parliament Called to the Bar of the Middle Temple in 1904, he organized and became the first secretary of the Empire Parliamentary Association of those days, and in 1949 the secretary-general of its Commonwealth counterpart—a post he was still holding when, at the age of eighty, Ill-health led him to retire. In 1920 he founded, and edited until his retirement, the Journal of the Parliaments of the Commonwealth and Report on Foreign Affairs; for some years he acted as Treasury Counsel on the Midland circuit; and for his work as a member of the War Cabinet Secretariat from 1917 to 1919 he was made a Knight of the British Empire. St Catharine's College Society Magazine 33

THE REVEREND YEO WARD, M.A. Died—18th March 1965 St Catharine's men who recall the Reverend Yeo Ward—and there must be many who do—will learn of his sudden death with deep sorrow, for he possessed the rare virtue of being instinctively liked, and he seldom missed a Society reunion until failing sight made the journey from his beloved Truro impossible. He was, indeed, part of Truro. In the Cathedral he was ordained in 1903, after graduating at St Catharine's in 1901, and the funeral service in the Cathedral of ' Truro's little bowler-hatted clergyman with the white stick' marked the end of a period of service which is believed to be a record in the Church of England. Before his retirement, by which time he had served under seven bishops, he was—not unexpectedly, perhaps—the oldest clergyman still doing full-time work. During the First World War, in which he worked with the Y.M.C.A. in France, he was commended for devoted service at Dunkirk, and that simple tribute seems to describe his whole life's work. Now he is gone, and the College mourns yet another of her sadly diminishing Victorians. He was ninety.

BRYAN EDWARD WEBB Died—10th December 1964 Bryan Edward Webb was an expert in timber, and, as many other St Catharine's men have done, he spent his working days in remote places, importantly, if beyond the public eye. In all, he was thirty-one years abroad. He graduated from St Catharine's in 1929, and in 1938, after probing the forests around Kashmir for a firm of timber-merchants in Lahore, he joined the Colonial Service—a step that took him to Tanganyika for another nine years. During the war he was Timber Controller, East Africa, and responsible for supplying the British Forces operating there. After that, he served in Malaya, and was Conservator of Forests when he retired in 1957. But even then his services were still in demand, this time for a further two years with the Northern Rhodes- ian Forestry Department. He was 51, and leaves a widow and daughter. 34 St Catharine's College Society Magazine

He has since been appointed sole nominee for Moncreiffe Parish Church, East Kilbridge, where the congregation numbers 1,600, and over a thousand children attend Sunday School. Thompson. On the 16th May 1965, at a Thanksgiving Service for the Reverend R. H. Thompson (B.A. 1924), held by the Emissaries of Divine Light in Van- couver, British Columbia, Bishop Martin Cecil said: ' We are gathered in the spirit of thankfulness and appreciation for Richard, for all that he had given so freely over the years. Each one of you, no doubt, has a particular awareness as it relates to yourself. I most certainly do. I first met Richard in 1944, having known of him for a number of years before that. I have a special appreciation for him. I have looked upon him as a very close friend. I am deeply thankful for the part he has played. That which is here in Vancouver as it relates to our ministry is all consequent upon what he and Dorothy (his wife) together have provided for many years past, sowing seeds which come to fruition.' 36 St Catharine's College Society Magazine

He writes: 'There is no colour bar at all, not even any apparent ill-feeling. It is just assumed by everybody that there are two separate popula- tions who will stand together quite amiably in a queue, but in general have nothing to do with each other.... So, although we're living very comfortably, finding the climate perfectly acceptable and undergoing very little hardship, we dont think that so far our coming has been a waste of time. We are j ust hoping that we can widen and deepen the contacts we have made, and get some real understanding of people's feelings and problems—at the same time not forgetting the teaching of English.'

I had also tracked down a mound, strewn with pottery, in an area of swampy bush near the coast from which no previous finds had been reported. My interest received a big fillip from the discovery of some very unusual small wood carvings in the remote Karawaimentau Mountains in the south of the country. During an abortive attempt to reach the place where these things had been found, 1 came across an area in the savannahs where there were several large boulders incised with a great number of primitive designs. Petroglyphs such as these had been reported from remote rivers. There were also caves with incised designs in rock faces which are not known to have been reported. I was able to get photos of many of these. I also made sketches. No one locally had ever seen the like of the wooden carvings.' St Catharine's College Society Magazine 43

Haskell (B.A. 1961) says: ' I am still in Baghdad where I expect to remain for a further thirteen or fourteen months before being posted back to London.... I am still unmarried, though not from lack of opportunity. To satisfy all the claims on my affections, I should have had to adopt the Muslim religion, and even four wives might not have been enough! However, now that such stalwarts as Brian Calvert, Eric Mairs, Doug Crawford and Roddy Watson have donned the fetters, I shall have to reconsider my position. Richard and Diana Long are still here, but they 44 St Catharine's College Society Magazine

There is an interesting job to be done, if we can get to grips with something so difficult that nobody has yet even nibbled at the edges: to build bridges between the French and British traditions....' ' Apart from the climate, one attraction of Tangier is that it is near enough for our two large children to fly out in the holidays.

The answer could be simply stated, but a report couched in those terms would have raised even more eyebrows than the 100,000 words I turned in. The Fijian version, a third of that length, is probably the longest non-religious work in the Fijian language. Incidentally, I have now appeared in Portuguese, Russian, Burmese, Urdu, Roman Urdu, Tamil, Singhalese and Fijian, a nice list; and both Russians and Portuguese gave me footnotes explaining that the author is a good enough fellow at heart, but every now and then his burgeoise democratic upbringing will come out.... The Fijian experience was magnificent, however. I had three glorious weeks, with my family, visiting outlying islands with an all-Fijian crew....' 52 St Catharine's College Society Magazine

' In 1963 I was appointed to a three-man commission to report on higher education—all higher education, including technical—in New Guinea. This might seem a bricks-without-straw proposition, as real secondary education wasn't started till around 1957; but at the rate things are going, some form of quasi-independence will be on us before New Guinea is ready for it unless there is a real crash programme of all types of education. Our proposals include a fully autonomous university and have attracted a good deal of comment, mostly favourable.... and the university will go forward. It is one of those things which seem absurd on the face of it, an impossibility, but it simply has to be done, or else Australia has a Congo on her doorstep; and there are opportunities as well as hazards in the project.' ' Apart from these reports, I have done a fair amount of minor writing, and some of the less as well as the more academic experiences will be reflected in a volume of essays called Let Me Enjoy—one of those nice modern titles that mean anything or nothing. One paper on ' Theory and Practice in Soviet Geography' brought me a very nice note, in French, from one of the people cited, complimenting me on my ' Typically British polemical wit'—very good, considering how solemn they are—and also a page or two in a Soviet review. I took this along to one of our Russian translators in the spirit of a schoolboy presenting Dad with a sealed envelope from the Headmaster. The report wasn't too bad: in effect, 'bright lad, shows promise, disrespectful to his teachers, may improve '. Negotiations are now afoot for a visit to Moscow— ANU has an exchange scheme—and if this comes off I shall hope to see you all at Cambridge later this year.'

Unfortunately the only names I recognize are in the obituary lists—though this, of course, is only natural after 54 years. Last year I noticed that of Gilbert White, my captain in the Soccer team which in 1909 climbed up to 2nd place in the First Division below Caius—a notable achievement in those days when Soccer was the premier sport. In that year R. Davies got his Blue in the Varsity boat, and B. R. Blackburn a place in the final Trial Eights. I kept in touch with some of the members of my Soccer team (1907-10) for a few years until Kaiser Bill's war came along and, I'm afraid, swept most of them away.'

Publications

Members of the Society who enjoyed The End of the Road, the story of Europe's vanishing light railways written by B. S. Morgan (B.A. 1945), will be interested in The Railway-Lover's Companion which he has recently edited. This, too, is published by Eyre & Spottiswoode. 56 St Catharine's College Society Magazine

Account Rendered, A Dossier of my Former Self, by Melita Masch- mann, is translated from the German by J.G. Strachan (B.A. 1958). Of it, The Times Literary Supplement says: ' It would be hazardous to give the label ' unique ' to any book about National Socialism. But this confession of National Socialist faith and the long struggle to cast it off is certainly a rarity.... Lord Russell of Liverpool introduces this excellent translation.'

C. H. R. Thornberry (B.A. 1957) has written The Stranger at the Gate (Fabian Pamphlet, published in August 1964), and is contributing to the British Digest of International Law,

The Rose in the Brandy Glass by Jon Manchip White, published by Eyre & Spottiswoode. It can be said with reasonable certainty that any novel by Jon Manchip White—J. E. M, White (B.A. 1947) in the College Register—is worth reading and easily read. Here the story involves morality—and money—when the simple integrity of a seemingly harmless and lovable old colonel prevents him from signing a legal document, and, in the eyes of those most dear to him, his family and his Pall Mall Club, he turns overnight into something worse than a menace. For him there is only disillusion, crushing and bitter, in a world of self-interest that he saw, Without understanding, for the first time. It is, inevitably, a poignant story; and it loses nothing in the sympathetic telling. The author's Everyday Life in Ancient Egypt was published by Batsford last year.

For Teachers of English by W, H. Mason (B.A. 1924), published by George Blackwell, Oxford. This book is timely, for, as the author says, ' the teacher of English is almost embarrassed by the recognition accorded to his subject ', and he speaks with the authority of experience. (Until his recent retirement, he was for many years Senior English Master at Manchester Grammar School.) That the standard of speech and writing, to say nothing of critical appreciation, has steadily declined since the war has long been apparent, not only in the University where the Little Go has given way to A levels—a substitution that can St Catharine's College Society Magazine 51 hardly fail to bring a reminiscent smile to those who had to wrestle with Latin and Greek, and Paley's Evidences of Christianity—but also, it seems, among business men, psychiatrists and sociologists who, in their different ways, now view the decline with alarm. So the ugly fact emerges: basic instruction in English as a * discipline ' is essential if the nation is not to lose the ability to think and express itself. Also the teacher's problem is clear in both its importance and its scope. What the author has to say about its solution is therefore never less than interesting, whether the reader is teaching or not. Clearly, too, teaching itself has its lighter moments when a youthful sixth-former, venturing into parody, can write: ' You are young, little Edward,' the old man said, ' And your hair is a youthful jet black. And yet though you cover the front of your head, Must you grow it so long at the back? '

' While I'm young,' quoth the Ted, ' I enjoy being bold, And cover my neck—just for fun. For when I'm your age and growing quite old, I'm perfectly sure I'll have none.' In addition to For Teachers of English, the author has written St Joan (G. B. Shaw) and Murder in the Cathedral (T. S. Elliot) in the publisher's series of introductions to the great classics of English literature.

College News Letter, 1965 HE academic year 1964-5, the last before the greatest upheaval for centuries, has passed smoothly if not quietly for the under- T graduate body. It has been, none the less, something of a historic year. E staircase, which may or may not have foundations, and from which during the course of the year most of the residents have been evacuated, has defied the pessimists and has now to be forcibly dismantled—together with all its associations, its inscribed plate-glass windows, its ghost lore, and its all-pervasive medieval smells. 58 St Catharine's College Society Magazine

Bull Hostel, too, the second-year barracks, with an individuality as strong as that of E staircase, is also coming down. And the Bull Gate, one presumes; has now been lifted from its hinges and dropped into the river for the last time. Generally speaking, the sporting year has been a good one. A rather prevalent impression of first-team mediocrity in the League, and regular defeat with honour in the Cuppers, is the result only of a non-comparative analysis. In an examination of the League tables for hockey, rugger and soccer, for instance, one finds that St Catharine's, among only five colleges, regularly holds a first-division place in all these three sports; and while Cuppers results tend too frequently to be dictated by the freaks and chances of systems of college admission, it is the League positions that indicate the real strength of college sport. That which is regrettable, however, is that fewer and fewer members of the College are playing sport, regularly or even occasionally. Even over the last three years the number of rugger sides fielded has been cut from four to about two and a half, and the number of boats entered for the May Races has diminished considerably. It is discouraging to find that the community of all-round sportsmen has become so small that a direct causal relationship might with justice be inferred between the weakness of the rugger club and the doubling of the number of hockey fixtures this year. Sports clubs are losing depth, and since collegiate identity depends so greatly upon college sport, this is to be deplored. And I cannot think that increasing pressures of work, afternoon practicals and more intensive supervision are directly responsible. There is, growing, a noticeable mistrust for anything other than intellectual, conversational or social activity, and this is, perhaps, a by-product of modern academic trends towards ultra- specialisation. Despite this—or perhaps because ours is not the only college in this position—the sporting record is good. Nigel Butt worked heroically to preserve the reputation of the rugger club. The 1st XV were fourth in Division I, and the Cuppers side was marginally beaten, by Gibson rather than by Queens'. Giles Chapman played immaculate rugby at full back and was unlucky not to get a University trial. A good freshman intake strengthened the pack with Steve Sillery, Brian Briscoe and Russ Harrison. Mac Corry and Alan Jackson both played for the LX Club, and the former was unlucky not to go further. He did, however, win a boxing Blue and the crucial last bout in the University match as well. The Hockey Club was beset by many problems—principally those concomitant with reorganizing itself to a conventional 5321 pattern. Furthermore, this year's team emerged as one of incorrigible individu- St Catharine's College Society Magazine 59 alists, and it was past the division of the Michaelmas Term before Tony Boyle succeeded in marshalling his side into a unit, and beat Jesus for the first time in three years. Murray Pearson was somehow wooed away from soccer and thrust into goal, with sensational results, and Mike Allder slowly resigned himself to another year at right-half, only making the occasional restrained foray into the circle. Among the freshmen, Graham Cottrell played frequently for the University, and Adrian Beale, David Eastwood and Ashley Kent, as well as Tim Ferley, Giles Chapman and Greg White, all played at times for the Wanderers, the last two being elected to the Wanderers Club. The old bete rouge-et-noire hustled this, potentially the strongest side in the University, out of the Cuppers, but coming third in the League partly compensated for this, and the tour in Holland was a grand alcoholic success. The laurels of the year must go to the Soccer Club who won their League in fine style, Jerry Rice leading by example on the field, and Tony Taylor organizing the supporters with similar efficiency. With Dave Cobb in goal—the University ' keeper deprived of his Blue only by injury—Derek Spooner, Dave Carter, Jerry Rice, Charlie Newman and Bob Pike, the College had a formidable set of backs, and three freshmen—Bob Read, John Smalley and the indefatigable Stuart Smith—gave the forward line its punch. The side were beaten in the semi-final of Cuppers by Jesus, who proved themselves better adapted to playing soccer on an unprotected Arctic waste. Both the Hockey and Soccer Clubs had the distinction of fielding 2nd XIs that won the League and Cuppers titles. A potentially strong cricket side was unlucky not to do better. Marginally beaten by Christ's in the knock-out competition, it was frustrated in College cricket by weather, cancellations, exams, doubtful decisions and dropped catches. Greg White, the captain, played for the Crusaders, as did Graham Cottrell, Andy Holsman and Derek Spooner—certainly one of the most consistent and valuable of college cricketers. The only Mowers' match, played on the lush meadow behind the Red Lion, Grantchester, was honourably drawn, and, to the shame and chagrin of the Soccer Club, the ' Just Ten ' beat the XVIII Club. The 1st Boat has had a successful year, and was unlucky in the Mays not to secure four bumps, but Queens' proved just too elusive on the final day. Pat Moore and David Roberts won rowing Blues, and the latter is to be secretary of the C.U.B.C. next year. Art Burnham, 60 St Catharine's College Society Magazine

this year's Captain of Bosts, rowed for the Goldie crew. At Henley, too, the College reached the semi-finals in the Ladies Plate, where they lost to the ultimate winners. There has also been a proliferation of half-blue scarves this year. Members of the College have represented the University at fives, lacrosse, sailing and badminton. Jerry Patterson won the pentathelon match with an outstanding performance. Rod Muddle and Bob Harris, the former this year's University swimming captain, practically won the match against Oxford between them. And in Wendell Motley the College has not only a full Athletics Blue but an Olympic sprinter. Every year, on a Saturday early in November, Cambridge is afflicted with a spell of cold weather; gale-force winds sweep across the fens; snow and sleet arrive, and the mercury in the thermometer retires to the little bulb at the bottom. This is Poppy Day. Never- theless, David Piper managed to cajole a great many members of the College away from their gas fires, and collected a commendable amount. The third prize in the raffle, however, an electric blanket, went to a member of the British Embassy in Baghdad. Tne English faculty within the College has blossomed into creativity this year. Chris Brookeman, Ted White and Howard Brenton edited a new magazine for writers, Look We have Come Through, which had a wide circulation within and without the University; and Howard Brenton's first play, A Ladder of Fools, was produced at the A.D.C. Bryn Frank and Thorn Babe also offered the College and the University some excellent theatre in The Fire Raisers and Waiting for Godot. Despite the spasmodic objections of a hard core of constitutionalists who want the S.C.R. run by set rules and solid majorities, this has been an uneventful year in College politics. An unfortunate period which favoured personality cults and pseudo-parliamentary electioneer- ing, and saw faction splits where none were and, indeed, none could be in a community whose very structure denies such a thing, seems to have passed, and the right proportions restored to the popular attitude towards the function of the J.C.R. Committee. The next few years will be difficult ones, and with almost two full years living out of college, the preservation of a well-integrated society—which, I believe, there has been up to now, to the incalculable benefit of every College activity—will be difficult; and the onus will rest not only on the J.C.R. Committee but on the clubs and societies and, indeed, on all third-year men. St Catharine's College Society Magazine 61

My congratulations go to Andy Holsman and Stuart Smith, the new President and Secretary of the J.C.R. I hope their year of office will be rewarding, their problems administrative and not political, and their critics—if any—tolerant, at least to some degree, of the makeshift and disorder which must inevitably result from the rebuilding that lies ahead. J. B. Lewis President, J.C.R.

The College Societies The Shirley Society The Shirley Society has had some good Chairman: John Lewis meetings this year. In the Michaelmas Term we were addressed by Dr T. R. Secretary: Howard Brenton Henn, and by Dr George Steiner of Churchill College. Dr Henn spoke on ' Symbolism in Poetry', and practically the whole of the College was able to benefit, yet again, from his deep learning and his inimitable manner of presenting his material—clearly, and without trace of superficiality or over-simplifica- tion. Dr Steiner spoke on ' Brecht', in a paper delivered with much force and persuasion, evidence of both research and thought on the subject. In the Lent Term, George McBeth spoke about, and read, some of his recent and more experimental verse, and David Holbrook, of King's College, also spoke about his latest work. The best attended visit, certainly of the year and possibly of all time, was that of Norman Mailer, the American novelist, in the early part of the Easter Term. Mr Mailer, who had just broken a long silence with a new novel, The American Dream, spoke at length on his own theories of Existentialism —provoking thereby much question and comment with which he dealt with eloquent good-humour—and constructed a pattern of thought which, if it failed to convince all members of his audience, or coincide with their more English experience, was at least stimulating and vital. Some of the more private meetings of the Society were equally successful. Rolf Lass, of Gonville and Caius, delivered a fascinating paper on Antionini which set out initially to establish the basis or bases of several traditions of romanticism, and then to apply them 62 St Catharine's College Society Magazine with their various contributive strengths to the enigmatic and visionary work of the Italian director. Shirley Society evenings of original poetry have now become a permanent fixture, and Hugh Buckingham has chaired many such meetings this year. Much of value has emerged from discussion, and the number of people, both from inside and outside the College, contributing their work has been unprecedented. The Society has sponsored two well-attended dramatic productions this year. Bryn Frank directed The Fire Raisers by Max Frisch, and Thom Babe offered Cambridge a thoughtful and original interpretation of Godot. The officers of the Society for the coming year are Hugh Bucking- ham, Chairman, and Richard Luckett, Secretary, and the out-going committee wish them every success.

The John Ray Society The varying success of the Society this President: M, J, Pearson year would seem to reflect the problems of communication between diff- Secretary: J. A. W. Strachan erent scientific disciplines, and also the relevance of those fields of research to the non-specialist, for attendances at some meetings were disappointingly low. Nevertheless, a full Michaelmas programme began with a lively and well-attended meeting at which Dr Maynard Smith of University College, London, spoke on ' The Evolution of Altruism ', a title which he defined to the visible relief of many of his audience. After discussing the selective advantage of apparently paradoxical situations among social animals, he con- sidered human altruism as a factor in our own evolution. In his talk on ' Polar Research-Developments during the next Decade', Dr G. de Q, Robin, Director of the Scott Polar Research Institute, indulged in lengthy crystal-gazing, but his first-hand account of co-operative achievements during the International Geophysical Year was solidly factual and no less interesting. Both Mr E, J. H. Corner, F.R.S., of the Botany School, who is to lead a Royal Society expedition to the Solomon Islands this year, and Mr R. Chorley of the Geography School, who dealt with the model theory in Geomorphology, reinforced their talks with excellent slides, Mr Corner's showing the islands during an earlier visit, and Mr Chorley's revealing such curious sites as the Boot Hill graveyard of Tombstone City, Arizona! A disappointingly small audience then heard Professor A. S. Parkes, who holds the Chair of Reproductive Physiology at Cambridge but spoke St Catharine's College Society Magazine 63 on Science as ' The Youngest Profession '; and the term ended with a joint meeting of the John Ray and the Law Society at which Mr R. L. Morrison discussed criminological research and its effect on the law. At the first meeting of the Lent Term, Professor Otto Frisch, F.R.S., of the Cavendish Laboratory, described the ever-increasing number of ' elementary ' particles and the techniques for producing those of high energy. This led to the theory of grouping particles into families, known as the ' 8-fold way ' because as many as eight mathematical operations related to the quantum numbers of the particles are involved. Less demanding on their audiences, Dr J. Goody, the Anthropologist, then dealt with ' Witchcraft ' in the context of African tribal village life; Professor A. L. Banks, of the Faculty of Medicine, discussed the medical problems of rural Egypt; and, at the last meeting of the Society's year, a large audience heard Professor A. L. Hodgkin, Nobel Laureate from the Department of Physiology, give an illustrated introduction to squids and the function of their great nerve fibres in escape reaction. The President thanks the Secretary and Committee for their services, and the senior members of the College for their assistance, particularly in the entertainment of visiting speakers.

The Music Society The Society has enjoyed a busy year, and President: Julian Smith a wide range of music has been played. During the Michaelmas term there was a Secretary: Peter Johnson Concert in the Rushmore Room and a Recital of Baroque music in the Chapel; the Society was invited to the Master's Lodge, where the programme included Poulenc's Flute Sonata and Mozart's Quintet for Wind and Piano; and four members of the College gave a series of Organ Recitals featuring French music. The main concert, in December, included the traditional concerto in which Freshmen display their prowess. This year, Frank Tretheway and Colin Wright played C. P. E. Bach's Concerto for Harpsichord and Fortepiano, a stylish performance conducted by John Castle; Peter Johnson directed a fine rendering of Purcell's Ode, ' Come, ye sons of Art '; and the Singers performance of Brahms' ' Liebslieder Waltzes ', with David Seaman and Julian Smith at the piano, ended the concert. The Freshmen's Concert took place in the Lent term, and again we were grateful to the Master and Mrs Rich for inviting us to the Lodge. The programme included romantic part-songs by the Freshmen's 64 St Catharine's College Society Magazine

Choir, and Satie's \Trois pieces en forme d'une poire ' for narrator and piano. At the end of February the Singers and Orchestra performed Bach's Cantata, ' Christ lag in Todesbanden', under John Castle's baton. Colin Wright was the fluent soloist in Handel's Fourth Organ Concerto, and the concert ended with the Singers performing Britten's Cantata, ' Rejoice in the Lamb '. Julian Smith played the organ, and Peter Johnson conducted. A large audience attended the concert David Seaman presented in the Chapel, which included Hindesmith's First Organ Sonata, played by Peter le Huray; and in the last week of term, at a concert of chamber music in Hall, the College instrumental- ists gave fine performances; Howard Aston sang five songs by Warlock; and the concert ended with a rousing performance of Brahms' Sonata for two Pianos, given by Julian Smith and David Seaman. In the May Week Concert, the only event in the Easter Term, the first half included music for two pianos by Mozart and Rachmaninoff, and a trio sonata by Loellet. During the interval a chamber choir sang part-songs in the court. The second half was devoted to a performance of Gilbert and Sullivan's Trial by Jury, and its slickness and polish owed much to the hard work of soloists and chorus. Two pianos provided the accompaniment; lighting and scenery were arranged by Peter Hartley; Richard Luckett was the hard-working and patient producer, and Julian Smith the musical director; and the Hall was packed.

The Law Society The Society has had a full programme, and President: I. F. Fletcher an encouragingly high proportion of our forty-two members have been active. An Secretary: J. W. Davies informal sherry party in the Michaelmas Term preceded a visit from the Chief Constable of Cambridge, Mr F. D. Porter, who discussed the 1964 Police Act, and assessed some of its implications. This was followed by a meeting at which Mr M. Hoyle, of the Law Society, described the good prospects for those intending to become solicitors; and at the Society's moot with Christ's

Old Friends. In a book about Cambridge, published some twenty years ago, the author lightly adjusted the College hierarchy in descending order of importance to the undergraduate, putting the Guardians of the Gate first, closely followed by gyp and bedmaker, and—last of all—the Master! But St Catharine's undergraduates in residence since the war will certainly demand a high place for Mr K. J. Nixon, the Assistant Manciple, who keeps the College habitable. Dick, Frank, Derrick, Francis and Jack (Aeq.) ? St Catharine's College Society Magazine 65

College, on a contract problem, Mr R. N. Gooderson proved to be an impartial judge, and A. D. Pardoe and C. Palmer, as counsel, contrived to have rather the better of an experienced opposition. A second moot, in the Lent Term, was by way of a new adventure in which the Society pitted itself against the might of University College, London, having first entertained them to a marathon and soporific Cambridge tea, and welcomed, as judge, the Recorder of Cambridge, Mr H. Griffiths, Q.C. This time the Society's counsel were J. W. Davies and I. F. Fletcher whose stamina was such that the ladies present only just managed to reach the porter's lodge before guest-hours expired. Then, in February, the Hon. Mr Justice Lawton gave a delightfully entertaining account of judicial life, spiced with candid revelations on which we were eagerly sworn to silence; and a week later Judge Connolly Gage read us a paper on projected reforms in the law of evidence, which was again notable for vivacity and can- dour. The Society reached a landmark this year with the holding of its first Annual Dinner, and a memorable evening it proved to be. Toasts to the Society and to the guests were proposed by the President and Secretary, and Mr J. F. Pirie (a past president) and Mr F. J. Odgers replied.; For this innovation the Society is extremely grateful to the Senior Treasurer, whose generous hospitality and ample cellar enabled the party to continue into the small hours, and its final word must be one of thanks to Mr Gooderson for his ubiquitous assistance3 advice and co-operation, which have ensured the success of this year's programme.

Cambridge University Children's Holiday Venture Since 1959, teams of undergraduates from St Catharine's have gone to Austria in the Long Vacation with the object of giving under- privileged refugee children a good and beneficial holiday, and, at the same time, affording their parents—often a single parent—a much-needed rest. The idea was born in the College. Now its patrons are the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury and the Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster, and the venture enjoys University status. This year a team of four undergraduates from St Catharine's and four from other colleges will go to camp with twenty-five boys, aged from 10 to 13, for three weeks, and, as usual, they will pay their own expenses. Private appeal raises the money for the camp itself, and £3 gives one child a week's holiday. Last year, between the 11th and 31st July, an all-St Catharine's team of eight—J. C. Brind, G. O. Chapman, R. N. Dales, T. A. Doyle, R. A. Heppenstall, C. Ingham, D. Macpherson and P. J. Scott—held their camp in the hills north of Graz in Southern Austria. In their own words: ' The site, in wonderful countryside, was seven miles and 2,000 feet up from the nearest village. We took twenty-three boys, aged 9 to 14, mainly from Linz. Activities included swimming, hiking, damming the stream, football, a visit to the local fete, and an afternoon at the circus. The main feature of the holiday was the camping in small groups with two staff to six boys. Here we were able to get to know the boys well, and to encourage them to do things for themselves, such as shopping and cooking. We had a well-integrated team, and the camp was a great success.' For those in charge, camping in these circumstances is seldom dull. For breakfast one morning an enterprising small boy unexpectedly tickled eleven trout in the local stream, but another, in a letter home, revealed a real worry to the staff: ' Food good, sleeping in tents, much smoking.' Apparently some of the older boys had supplies of tobacco which confiscation hardly reduced. The wine and cigarettes which they won at the village fair, however, were easily dealt with—by compulsory purchase order from the staff! Nevertheless, in spite of its ups and downs—and these, on the physical side, are many in the Austrian mountains where roads are unsurfaced and motor vehicles frail—the camp remains a pleasant memory. As the organizers put it: ' One of our aims was to give the children a good holiday, and that we undoubtedly did.' 70 St Catharine's College Society Magazine

The Great Adventure In these words, at the reunion dinner, the President of the Society described the rebuilding of ' half the College'—a great adventure. A lot has already been written about the problems involved—problems that, by forcing a blend of the old and new, certainly call for an adventurous solution—and something of a picture emerges, but only in general terms, the complications of the problem being what they are. To restore the facade of the Bull, scheduled and therefore inviolate, and to convert the ' slum' behind it into undergraduates' living quarters, offered no great difficulty once the re-alignment of King's Lane and collaboration with King's itself had been accepted. It was the development of the E block area that demanded ingenuity, for not only had a new Hall to be built alongside the old, stretching from Queens ' Lane, over Walnut Tree Court, and engulfing the old S.C.R.: it had to be integrated, with much else, into the old buildings. What, then, will the Society find in 1968 when it mounts the steps to the screen doors and, going behind the no less inviolate fagade of the main court, enters the new half of the College ? It will help the St Catharine's reader to visualize the layout of this ' integrated corner' if he bears in mind that the Chapel remains untouched, and that he will find familiar territory in the Library above the old Hall and, no doubt with respectful memory, the wine-cellar beneath it—-axes of reference, as it were, for the change hereabouts is considerable. Gone are the buttery and kitchens, lost without trace; and the fine oak staircase, leading to the Library, which used to face one entering from the main court, is now uprooted, turned through a right-angle, and resting against the outer wall that borders Queens' Lane on the left. So, instead of passing along what was little more than a passage between the old buttery and the Hall, leading into Walnut Tree Court, the Society will find itself in a spacious lobby that leads into the new Hall; and, on the right of this lobby, lies the new S.C.R., taking up about three-quarters of the old Hall at the dais end. The remainder provides a comprehensive cloakroom, and the height of the ceiling has been happily corrected by the interpolation of an entirely new floor below the Library, a floor that accommodates a private dining room for the social and a Library Annexe for the studious, and is, in effect, an extension of the old Gallery floor. On this new floor is the Long Gallery—the old square one, which started some three hundred years ago as the S.C.R. and became an overflow for the old Hall in the 1930s, is now a sizable landing, suitably St Catharine's College Society Magazine 71 equipped, of course—and St Catharine's men, accustomed to the charming oak panelling of the old Hall, and looking down on the new for the first time, can hardly fail to see it as a little austere in comparison; and so it is likely to remain until a benefactor comes along with more oak. For the moment it suffices that the new Hall seats 260 undergraduates and a High Table of 48, a number almost twice as large as the Society's attendance in recent years. If the High-Table end of the new Hall is regarded as its bows, then its stern can be described as firmly embedded in the new wing which has replaced the old E block. This continues the College frontage on Queens' Lane to what might be called a back-door area flanking the new, and straightened, King's Lane. Anyone tired of exploring the Long Gallery can therefore leave this 'integrated corner' simply by continuing up the oak staircase to the floors above where undergraduates dwell in comfort and splendour characteristic of all the new accommodation. In its lower regions, however, this new wing is. entirely utilitarian, for its main purpose is to house the new kitchens with all that these demand in terms of storage and unloading facilities. Compared with their 1660 edition, which disappeared with E block, they are immense as well as modern, and as they are designed to flank the new Hall, anyone in the Long Gallery can look straight across into the new servery—discreetly screened when not in use, of course. This new wing fronting Queens' Lane is therefore no slender affair, one room deep like the old E block, but sufficiently thick through to align itself with the High-Table end of the new Hall, and—to this extent is the new Hall tucked away—rise two stories above it. In the lower one is the Graduates Parlour, another sign of the times; in the upper a fully-equipped sickbay; and throughout these floors, facing west, south and east, are the corridors linking the splendid bed-sitters that help to bring the total in this part-rebuilding of St Catharine's to 86. That is about three times as many as the entire College accom- modated before the First World War. But it is down in the basement, with the plant-rooms and storage spaces, to say nothing of an undergraduates' games room and a vestry, that one half of a most welcome innovation is found—a storage space for bicycles, 300 of them. The other half—an expression which, in this context, has no naval significance—is an underground park for 50 cars. It is an amenity upon which the Local Authorities insist, although for other reasons. Inevitably the excavation is more or less in the centre of the area that is being developed, and it is reached by a ramp leading down from Queens' Lane between the end of the College frontage and the new King's Lane. 72 St Catharine's College Society Magazine

At the other end of the site, on Trumpington Street, the problem of integrating the new buildings into the Bull has been neatly solved by retaining the rooms immediately behind the scheduled facade. The Society will therefore find the Rushmore Room still intact, along with its neighbours and the rooms above, but that is all. The offices below are being shut off from the College and rented. That the College loses the Bull front door in consequence hardly matters now that King's Lane passes under the old coach-arch of the Bull, a few feet away, and provides swift access through the small new court, shared by St Catharine's and King's, which is also a decorative feature of this combined rebuilding. Of the undergraduate and office accommodation it provides, St Catharine's occupies the south and east sides—those facing the Chapel and backing against the residue of the Bull, that is—and King's has the other two. The artist's impressions of this mainly residential area, reproduced facing page 70, need little explanation. Both ' look west'. Both reveal the new architectural style, one in the purity of isolation, the other in sharp contrast with the old; and even if it is inevitable that the artistic eye, gazing down ' behind the Chapel' at the new Hall, should possess an unusually wide angle of vision, close scrutiny does confirm that the seemingly lofty range on the artist's right is, in fact, appreciably lower than the Chapel. The new does not dominate the old. Rather does it peep shyly round the corner. And there is certainly nothing about its exterior—glass and, what are quite attractive of their kind, pre-cast panels faced with Roachbed Portland stone—to suggest the comfort within. As it is, the detail of these sets is likely to interest the Society even more than the vistas opened by the Colonnades beneath them, which the artist's impressions show: for when St Catharine's undergraduates live, as they soon will, in centrally heated bed-sitters, each with his own private bathroom and necessaria adjoining, older St Catharine's men who recall the time when there was not a bath in the College for undergraduates and one used a flat tin saucer in front of the sitting-room fire, may well regret their misfortune in arriving fifty years too soon. These impressions also reveal the comparative smallness of this new court, and to ensure privacy, all sitting-room windows face outboard, as it were, the windows overlooking the court itself being for corridor-lighting. So here, too, as in the new Queens' Lane wing, there is a solution to the housing problem as imaginative as it is adventurous. Of the rest—bursary, offices, muniment room, workshops, buttery, and the hundred and one essential spaces that shelter everything from furnaces to switchboards, spaces in the old buildings adapted instead St Catharine's College Society Magazine 73

of designed—all are there, embodied in a great architectural achievement that will soon await the Society's inspection. Meanwhile, to enable undergraduates to study and eat for the next two years, a temporary external staircase already leads from a Library window to the screen doors in the court below where a pre-fabricated and astonish- ingly attractive temporary kitchen now stretches across the cobbles— and a foot or two of the sacred grass—in front of the Queens' Lane arch; for, until the new Hall is functioning, they must still feed in the old. Then comes the switch to the new and the conversion of the old —two years hence, if all goes well. Planned with the precision of a military operation, the President of the College said at the last reunion dinner, and, according to the local paper, even the builders will use ' muffled tools ' so as not to disturb academic work—it does seem to merit the description recently applied to it: a state of well-ordered chaos! Meanwhile, too, it is the earnest wish of those directing the Building Campaign, the ' Public Launching ' of which is planned for the autumn, that the Society will continue to assist its progress with the generosity and understanding it has so long displayed. At the General Meeting in June, the Master indicated progress already made in this ' Advanced Gifts ' stage, and it can now be added—a month later—that among the 80 gifts so far received is one of £1,000 from the Ball Committee towards the cost of the new Hall, and, from an old member of the College, a deed of covenant for £150 a year together with an interest- free loan to the Fund of the £900 which is needed for the remaining six payments under covenant. It is encouraging. B. AT THE REUNION (1)
