2 ’s Introduction

For the second year in a row I am very pleased to report excellent The academic achievements have not been at the expense of a rich College life in music, the arts, and exam results. The College rose from 6 th to 4 th in the Baxter Tables student societies. But I would particularly draw attention to unprecedented sporting success with (17 th in 2009). I received the first inkling of another good run of in rowing, rugby union and hockey as well as a host of other sports. results when I chaired the Part II examiners in History. After Thanks to the support of our alumni, the Development Office, the Investments Committee and our classifying all the students with only the candidates ’ numbers in front Conference Office , the College is well-placed to respond to the financial challenges that are ahead. of the examiners, the Board finally sees a list of the candidates by I should pay particular tribute to Toby Wilkinson’s efforts. Toby has moved to head the University’s name and college. It was only then that I could see that six of the International Strategy Office. Before Toby’s arrival the College raised £400,0 00 in 2002-3 from alumni, Firsts (including one of the starred Firsts ) in History came from Clare, in recent years it has averaged over £2 million a year. At the moment, that is the crucial difference more than from any other college. These results were replicated in between financial success and failure for the College. subjects in which we have done well in recent years – Law, English, Modern Languages, Economics – but it was reassuring to see a welcome improvement in results in the I noted last year that any new fee settlement was unlikely to produce additional money for the College Natural Sciences. Credit for these results, first and foremost, to the students themselves. But the and the university. In effect, the new fee regime has produced a steady state in Cambridge’s finances. improvement is the result of special efforts by the Senior Tutor and the Directors of Studies, an The likely additional income from the £9,000 student fee that comes in next year has been offset by increase in College resources earmarked for teaching, and the support by alumni for funding teaching the withdrawal of funding in teaching in the Arts and Humanities. The College is unlikely to receive in some of the subjects that have shown the greatest improvement. The commitment of the more in academic fees under the new system but will face real challenges in continuing to pay for Fellowship to deliver excellent undergraduate teaching is highlighted by the award to Dr Charlie Weiss excellence in undergraduate teaching, just as it will need to continue to find as much money as in Classics of the University-wide Pilkington prize for excellence in undergraduate teaching, the tenth possible for bursaries and student support. Fellow of Clare to win one of these prizes in ten years. Ultimately the College’s success depends on the success of the University. The new fee settlement is In another area where I have previously commented in these reports on disappointing figures, I am unlikely to be permanent. The risk, at the moment, is that the current financial underpinning of the pleased to report that 62% of the home-based students just admitted this year are from state schools, University makes it difficult to be certain that it can remain a world-leading university over the next a steady improvement which runs counter to the trend in the university as a whole. This year’s figures twenty years. The jury is out. Nevertheless, it is heartening to note that the University has officially mask an overall figure of 65% acceptances from the students who applied in 2010 and lead me to just closed its 800 th anniversary campaign. It raised £1.72 billion (£649 million by the University, hope that our goal in the College’s recently adopted strategy of reaching 65% state school admissions £523 million by the Colleges). Using average annual exchange rates, that constitutes $2 billion and by 2015 is attainable. 65% is what the University should be admitting from the state sector if it is to makes the campaign the equal of the top division of US university campaigns. recruit the very best students in the country irrespective of background based on the highest A Level scores. In Clare’s case, the College’s strategy is to reach 70% by 2020. The real issue is not in the To sustain the College and the University’s performance in academic results, access, and research selection process. It is getting the best students, irrespective of school, social and economic background poses real challenges. But thanks to the support of our alumni, I believed that there is every reason to or region, to apply in the first place. I am confident that the outreach activities of the College, be optimistic about our ability to meet these challenges successfully. supported by our alumni and by our corporate sponsors (described on page 14 ) are the most ambitious in Cambridge. As one of the first colleges to move to a purely merit-based admissions system under John Northam and Eric Ashby, that is entirely appropriate. 3 Teaching and Research

The College took advantage of an historic opportunity in October 2008 to enter into an inflation swap on a £15 million loan for 40 years. The inflation-linked interest rate of 1.09% was unusually low due to the turbulent market conditions at that time. This presented a very significant opportunity to invest in global equity tracker funds at a low point in the cycle. Clare expects to achieve a real return of over 4% pa, which would almost double the size of the endowment by 2048. The inflation linked borrowing has had a promising start , showing a surplus of £3 million so far.
