Fiona Wardle - "I read Natural Sciences at St Catharine's, graduating in 1994, before moving to University College London as a Wellcome Prize Student to complete a Ph.D. in Developmental Biology. I then spent 3 years at the Whitehead Institute, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, before returning to Cambridge to continue my research at the Wellcome Trust/Cancer Research UK Institute. My research is the early embryonic development of vertebrates, in particular, how cells of the embryo become differentiated from each other. Outside the lab I enjoy music, travelling and passing on my enthusiasm for science to the public, in particular children, through school visits and talks."

They may not be aware, that for many months there has been speculation in the public media as to who may succeed Dr George Carey as Archbishop of Canterbury. Although the advisory committee meets behind closed doors, a number of names have been hotly debated in the press. So far as the Editor is aware, Cath's have no contenders this time around!

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GENERAL MEETING 2001

The Society President, Mr Geoffrey Stokell (1950), welcomed over 50 members to the 73rd Annual General Meeting on Friday 21st September 2001. Members paused in silence to remember John Hudson (1946), a Past President, and other members who had died during the preceding year. In his report, the Hon. Secretary said that the Committee continued to pursue means of encourag- ing greater involvement by younger members in the Society. Regional Branches were to receive addi- tional support through financing of annual mailings to members in their areas. Work was in hand to revive branches, which had been temporarily inactive and to stimulate the formation of new ones. A discussion paper on the future of the Society was to be prepared and members' comments and sugges- tions would be welcomed. The Hon. Treasurer introduced the Society's accounts for the year, which were approved; reported on the activities of the Robert Hardie Bequest Fund, including its support for the Boat Club; referred to the grants made from the members' Sports Fund to a wide range of College sportsmen and women; and noted that again, there had been no requests to the Benevolent Fund. Thanks were expressed to the College Office staff for their continued assistance to the Society and an increase in the Honorarium was agreed. The Editor of the Magazine reported an increase in circulation from 7,500 to 8,000 and in its cost, from some £14,500 to £16,000. Computerisation, together with increased secretarial help had contributed to savings in time and money. The election of the Rt. Hon. the Lord Naseby, PC (1957) as President for 2001-2002 and of The Hon. Roy MacLaren, PC (1955) were approved with acclamation. Thanks were expressed to Richard McBride (1985) on completing his maximum term on the Committee, to which Herb Bate (1963) was re-elected for a second term. New members elected were Elizabeth Baines (1984), Michael Diplock (1982) and Richard Edis (1962). John Little (1972, Fellow 1980) and Duncan McLeish (1945) were re-elected Hon. Treasurer and Hon. Secretary respectively. The meeting approved an amendment to the Rules introducing a new category of Associate Member, enabling partners of deceased members to maintain contact with the College, should they so wish. Chairmen of Regional Branches reported briefly on their activities. The President Elect indicated his intention to visit some overseas groups early in 2002. The meeting heard with regret of the departure of Dr Anne Lyon, the Fellow for Development, and paid tribute to her major contribution to fund-raising success. The Bursar, Mr Charles Crawford, reported on the progress of the Development Campaign. In the face of reduced Government funding, the College needed alternative sources of finance. These included the endowment of Fellowships; supplementing endowment income for bursaries, building maintenance etc; and specific building projects such as the new floor above Gostlin and E staircase. A new sports pavilion was also envisaged, in part, to meet Health and Safety requirements. The Committee was considering the possibility of a Society bursary or alternative ways of utilis- ing Society funds. Suggestion from members were invited. The dates for the AGM and Dinner were agreed for Saturday 28th September in 2002 and Friday 25th September in 2003. The meeting closed with warm thanks to the President, Mr Geoffrey Stokell, for his enthusiastic contibutions to the Society over the preceding year. Duncan McLeish Hon. Secretary

THE BOTANICAL GARDEN: JEWEL IN THE UNIVERSITY CROWN An illustrated insight into the history of the Cambridge University Botanic Garden was the rich reward of those who attended the Society Seminar which preceded the AGM on Friday 21st September 2000. Professor John Parker, Professorial Fellow and Director of the Botanic Garden, traced its evolu- tion since its inception in 1762; through the move to its present 40 acre site in the early 19th century; and its subsequent development and conservation. It is, he commented, truly a jewel in the University Crown: both as an asset to the University itself as a place for learning by experience; and for its aesthetic appeal to a wider society, ranking third in popularity with Cambridge tourists after Kings College Chapel and the Fitzwilliam Museum. The Garden, said Professor Parker, has become a place for the study of plants in their own right, 32 St Catharine's College Society Magazine not just for their medicinal properties. Green plants are the most important thing on the face of the earth and we are all parasites. The talk was a fascinating foray into personalities, such as John Stevens Henslow, who taught Charles Darwin and introduced the concept of the practical class; into the harnessing of Hobson's Conduit, the first artificial river in England, to bring water to the Garden; and the statistical, the Garden holding over 1,000 woody species and 1,600 species of flowers.

ANCESTORS OF THE FUTURE: ANNUAL DINNER 2001 The most senior member of the Society to attend the annual dinner in Hall, on Friday 21 st September 2001, was John Winders (1927) who, together with a strong contingent from 1930s, received a partic- ular welcome from the outgoing President, Mr Geoffrey Stokell (1950). Altogether some 160 members, spanning eight decades from the 1920s to the 1990s, demonstrated the sense of community across all age groups by dining together in good fellowship. In a memorable phrase, Mr Stokell pronounced: "We are the ancestors of the future, whose duty it now was to campaign for and to resource the College; to pledge ourselves to its continuing devel- opment; and to preserve and cultivate the vitality of St Catharine's in the years to come. "I'm sure I can pledge the Society to aid you, Master, as I said a moment ago, whatever form the future framework of development may take. I put it to you, my members, that without commitment to development, there is no future. Since Mr. Gordon Brown's notorious outburst against The Other Place we have listened to much debate on excellence, "elitism" and economics. One critic recited the tired argument that universities should be treated like grocery shops, charge what the market will bear and fail if they are found to attract no economic demand. You and I know that a university is not a commer- cial enterprise, but an institution devoted in large measure to the exploration of problems which may not yet have been identified by the market - may be irrelevant or indeed antipathetic to the market - may change the market in time. Different institutions have differing strengths, and each should be adequately funded for its mission. Oxbridge is not so much elitist as excellent, and it is important to defy those who snipe at this excellence. Why do I reiterate these sentiments, which should be self- evident to us all? I do it to remind us that it is our DUTY to campaign on behalf of the best institu- tions, to reproduce and resource their methods. If we don't do this we let down the traditions which we should be cultivating. It is easy on occasions like this to look back with nostalgia to our forbears here - some are pictured on the walls, some are more venerable than others, some are happily still with us. But keep this always in your mind:- we are the ancestors of the future! I repeat without develop- ment, there is no future. Let us pledge ourselves to be forward-looking, future-oriented. And we shall do it in style." Responding to the President's toast to the College, the Master, Professor David Ingram, was in no doubt about its current vitality. "I can report," he said, "that the College is in excellent heart." It had excelled in many sporting activities and the choir sang as never before on a successful tour of Russia: and although in the Tripos it did reasonably well, but not well enough, there were plans to deal with that. Professor Ingram paid tribute to Dr John Thompson, standing down after several years as College President, to be succeeded by Professor Don Broom; to Dr Chris Thorne, retiring as Senior Tutor, to be replaced by Dr Paul Hartle; and the Rev'd. David Goodhew, to be followed as Chaplain, by the Rev'd. Dr Patrick Richmond. Also departing was Dr Anne Lyon, Fellow for Development, who had done much in raising funds for major College projects, and in strengthening the links between the College and its wider family of members. Proposing the toast to the Society, the Master wondered what it was that binds us together. Partly, he thought, to being in this special place at a particularly formative time in our lives. Partly in belong- ing to a society with a proud history over hundreds of years. But especially to sharing the privilege of admittance to a Society with common ideals and aspirations, and the pursuit of those ideals. "I believe that," he concluded, "is what collegiality is all about." Those attending the dinner included:

THE PRESIDENT IN CIRCUIT For an economist turned legislator, the global economy is not new; however, reality struck when I became President of the Society. In February my wife Ann and I literally took a round the world trip covering Canada, New Zealand, Hong Kong and back. We would have liked to have had functions in Singapore, Malaysia and Sri Lanka as well but unfortunately this did not prove possible. Canada gave us tremendous welcome with a truly hospitable dinner at the Hamilton Club near Toronto; even the weather was kind, just below zero. We were a party of 13 and particular thanks must go to the triumvirate of The Hon Roy McLaren, Dr Bill Morgan and Chris Ryan. From Toronto it was quite a long haul to Auckland, New Zealand, but we had a memorable evening of Cats reminiscences organised by Brian Wilson with a select, but rewarding, group of 5 graduates; Professor Lacey's tales made up for numbers. From New Zealand we flew 11 hours to Hong Kong for a truly wonderful turnout of Cats men and women at the Hong Kong Club. John Endicott had corralled 17 of us; I spoke about the College, we chatted, swapped stories; a very animated occasion. One graduate was so pleased to see us that he gave me a substantial cheque for the College. At the time of writing we hope to organise a reunion in Chicago in June. In the UK we attended a 'Meet the Master' reception in Edinburgh; a thoroughly enjoyable evening at the New Club. In addition, we have managed so far to get to all branches that have invited us: London, Wessex and East Anglia. It's been a challenging, nomadic year, but I hope those graduates that I have met around the world feel that much closer to our College. We are a truly International fraternity.

Then, in the southern aisle, unexpectedly, there stands a resplendent, opulent, sumptuous, marble statue. It is of Mary Ramsden: "She bequeathed all her worldly goods to St Catharine's Hall...

Mary Ramsden lived in Fockerby Hall, a large, Georgian house where elegant rooms are arranged around unpredictable corridors. It is now the charming meeting place for a commit- tee of locals and St Catharine's members; the venue for an annual pilgrimage from St Catharine's. Warmth and burgeoning hospitality are showered on the Committee by its present owner, Nina Wilken. The meetings have to decide on the annual awards of the so-called Skerne Exhibition. Awards are made from the proceeds of a trust fund set up by the Mary Ramsden Foundation to help promote tertiary study amongst the needy youth of local villages.. It is not wealthy - its capital is less than 5k. Each year the interest is divided up between a handful of school-leavers, nearly all of whom are awarded a few pounds for books.

John Bradford (1548), as a mature student; came to us from Manchester when he had some experience in Law and the Civil Service. He planned to train here for the ministry in the church. By special grace of the Senate, he was soon granted M.A. status, but then he was accepted to a vacant Fellowship at Pembroke. Later, he was imprisoned in The Tower with The Master of St Catharine's Dr Sandys; and later again, was to be in one cell with Cranmer, Latimer and Ridley (Master of Pembroke). He was burnt at Smithfield on Monday morning, July 1st 1555, his companion was a young apprentice of nineteen years, John Leaf.

In the thirteenth annual Varsity Games, Alice Naylor in dark blue represented Oxford and her twin sister Lizzy (2002, reading Land Economy at St Catharine's) in white and light blue, represented Cambridge.

John Goodbody commented (The Times, 25th February) "The only way to tell the Naylor twins apart in the Varsity netball match in Oxford yesterday was the colour of their vests." "We argue like cats and dogs, but we are really close." "The experience was very odd, we are so close, the best of friends." John Cassidy Photo: St Catharine's College Society Magazine 49
