The Record 2009 (Pdf) Keble College Keble The Record 2009 The Record 2009 The Record 2009 Robert Lyall Lucas MBE, MA (Ph.D., Cambridge), Senior Research Fellow (1965–75), Fellow and Tutor in Biology (1975–92) Portrait by Bob Tulloch The Record 2009 Contents The Life of the College Letter from the Warden 5 Lord Stokes 10 Dr Robert Lyall Lucas 11 Sir David Williams 13 Fellows’ Work in Progress 14 Fellows’ Publications 20 Sports and Games 27 The Chapel 37 Financial Review 41 The College at Large Old Members at Work 45 Keble Parishes Update 58 Year Groups 59 Gifts and Bequests 60 Obituaries 71 The Keble Association 98 The London Dinner 99 Keble College 2008–9 The Fellowship 101 Fellowship Elections and Appointments 106 Recognition of Distinction 107 JCR & MCR Elections 107 Undergraduate Scholarships 107 Matriculation 2008–9 109 College Awards and Prizes 114 Academic Distinctions 118 Supplement News of Old Members 2 Forthcoming events: 2009–10 12 Keble College: The Record 2009 4 The Life of the College Letter from the Warden As I write the Lodgings are shrouded in scaffolding and green netting for necessary work on the roof and for the repair and restoration of the stone work and the balconies overlooking the Warden’s Garden. The work is badly needed, and is all part of our effort to maintain these Grade 1 listed buildings as well as we can, a task in which we rely very much on the expert advice and evaluations of our conservation architect, David Yandell. David has also been much involved along with our organ consultant Dr William McVicker in drawing up the invitations photo: Kevin Edwards for quotes for a new pipe organ in the College Chapel. We felt that current conservation and heritage thinking would require the preservation and if possible the inclusion of the original painted pipes, and the positioning of the console in the elevated position which it had held since the building of the side-chapel in 1892, even though the raising of the organ at that time had partly obscured the stained glass window in the south transept and exposed the organ itself to deleterious effects from the sun. There are also interesting legal issues, since at present the Chapel ranks as a ‘peculiar’ and as such is not covered by any planning regulations. This is set to change but meanwhile we followed David’s advice and held a consultation with the city planning officer and Peter Howell of the Victorian Society (also acting on behalf of English Heritage). I am glad to say that both accepted our proposals and we hope that the new organ designed and built by Kenneth Tickell Organbuilders Ltd will be in place for the start of Trinity Term 2011. If indeed it is in place for the annual St Mark’s Day service and dinner that will be extraordinarily appropriate, given the significance of St Mark’s Day in the history of the College and especially of the Chapel. This academic year also saw the publication of Keble Past and Present, the illustrated history of the College written and edited by Ian Archer and myself. Many of the nearly 1400 subscribers and contributors attended the launch party held at the end of November at the British Academy, and the response has been very positive overall. Published by Third Millennium, this handsome book draws on unpublished material, memoirs, oral reports and interviews as well as written sources, and the College archives have been greatly enriched as a result of collecting the material. We also now have a collection of thousands of digital images which are being catalogued this summer vacation with the help of Ben Heller, who is working on a D.Phil. in history. The role of Robert Petre, the College 5 Keble College: The Record 2009 Archivist, has been key to both these initiatives and we also have a new Librarian, Yvonne Murphy, after the retirement of Margaret Sarosi. Yvonne has come from a very successful tenure at the Linen Hall Library in Belfast, and she is currently conducting a strategic review of the College Library and its collections and how we might promote and develop them. Much time and effort has gone this year into the preparations Yvonne Murphy for our major plans to develop the Acland site and shape and secure the College’s future beyond its 150th anniversary in 2020. With the recruitment of Jenny Tudge (1986) as Director of Development, and the expansion and restructuring of the Development Office, we are in a strong position to carry all this forward. We owe the fact that we could do this to the farsightedness and generosity of George Robinson (1975) and Robin Geffen (1976), and a significant number of Old Members have already agreed to serve on the Campaign Board and Jenny Tudge as volunteers. Jenny and I travelled to the US in April, from where she went on to Hong Kong, and we expect to make more overseas visits during 2009–10. I know that like me, she has already been overwhelmed by the degree of warmth felt towards the College among our Old Members. The process of obtaining planning permission is tortuous for what will be easily the biggest and most important college development in Oxford for many years. The Keble Acland site has frontage on both the Banbury and the Woodstock roads, is adjacent to St Anne’s, and contains a small element (invisible except from inside the present buildings) that is listed in virtue of its connection with Thomas Jackson, the architect of the Examination Schools among other Oxford buildings. After two rounds of consultations, public comment and many discussions with the city planners and English Heritage, we hope to obtain permission soon. Given its position and given Keble’s architectural history, the responsibility for such a large and important project is very great. But this is not just about giving Oxford yet another set of landmark buildings, however exciting that may be. Our vision is to commemorate the College’s 150th anniversary and to shape its future for many more generations to come. This future is about research as much as about undergraduates. It is also for all the members of the College, whether they be undergraduates, graduate students or academics. The Acland development will house all these, as well as giving them space and facilities for the generation of new thinking and new ideas. It will house an Institute of Advanced Study to bring together 6 The Life of the College researchers and thinkers in arts and sciences. It will have media, resource and performance space and it will be home to international and interdisciplinary students, researchers and practitioners. My colleagues and I, in particular Jenny Tudge, the Bursar Roger Boden and the Senior Tutor Marc Brodie, have been working very intensively on shaping the vision, and to say that this is an exciting concept is an understatement. It is one that is very dear to my own heart and one that I believe that Keble, with its distinctive tradition of innovation and boldness, is well placed to realise. Roger Boden Marc Brodie Isla Smith’s decision to take early retirement from the Development Office at the end of 2009 in part precipitated these changes, and Keble and its Old Members will certainly miss her hugely. I am reminded every day just how much Isla’s eleven years here have done to build up the close relationships we now have with so many of our nearly 9,000 former students, whose matriculation years range from the early 1920s to the present. When our students graduate I often tell them that Keble is for life; they are unsure of what that means, but these ongoing connections are a major part of what colleges are about. Isla’s dedication and warmth of personality have truly transformed these relationships, as many recent examples have brought home to me. We are beginning the process of finding a successor for Isla (not easy), and under the new structure Ruth Cowen (now full-time as Alumni Relations Officer) will be the main point of contact for Old Members (I know some of you do not like the term alumni, though nowadays it is in fact much more widely used). Many of you know Ruth already and you can be sure she will provide the warm personal contact you have come to expect. Next year’s Summer Dinner on 3 July 2010 will honour Isla and this will be a chance for Old Members to say goodbye to her properly. Mobility seems to be an increasing feature of academic life, and we are certainly feeling its effects at Keble. Two of our fellows, Dr Stephen Clark in Computer Science and Dr Niels Dechow in Management, moved on to other posts during the academic year, while Dr (now Professor) Niranjan Thatte in Physics moved to a research post in the Oxford Physics Department. Professor Ralph Hanna has retired from his Keble tutorial fellowship while remaining post-retirement in a research post in the English faculty. Professor Robin Wilson has also retired from Keble after combining twenty- nine years of teaching mathematics here with his full-time Open University post. If this is not enough, no fewer than nine research fellows come to the end of their appointments 7 Keble College: The Record 2009 this summer and will be moving on. In alphabetical order they are: Dr Keith Brain (Physiology and Pharmacology, to a Senior Lectureship at Birmingham), Dr Theresa Burt de Perera (Zoology, to a University Lecturership and Fellowship at St John’s), Dr Michael Chappell (Engineering), Ms Carly Crouch (Theology, to a JRF at Cambridge), Dr Eleni Kechagia (Ancient Philosophy), Dr Ed Morgan-Jones (Politics), Dr Nellie Phoca-Cosmetatou (Archaeology), Dr Sophie Ratcliffe (English, to a five-year Lecturership at Christ Church) and Dr Matthias Tecza (Physics).

  • HISTORY of FETCHAM CHURCH Draft 23.3.97 J Mettam
    pdfMachine by Broadgun Software - a great PDF writer! - a great PDF creator! - http://www.pdfmachine.com http://www.broadgun.com HISTORY OF FETCHAM CHURCH Draft 23.3.97 J Mettam INTRODUCTION The oldest parts of Fetcham Church were built about 1,000 years ago. At that time The Street extended southward between the church and the manor house (where Fetcham Park House now stands) to join the path over the Downs to West Humble. The Street also continued north, bearing right past where Barracks Farm now is, to ford the Mole on the way to Kingston. The Street was crossed by the Harroway, an ancient route which came into existence in BC600-300 from North Kent to the tin mining areas of Cornwall. The Harroway followed the spring line of the Lower Road in the summer and a drier route near the Leatherhead Guildford road in the winter. The Harroway became an important link between the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of Kent and Wessex. Fetcham must have been one of the earliest areas of Anglo-Saxon settlement with 6th Century burial grounds on Hawks Hill and at Watersmeet. The village was clustered in the nearest part of The Street just north of the church and manor house, which is thought to have developed around the site of a Roman villa or farmhouse. The present parish boundaries probably represent the ghost of the Roman estate. The varied soil types were well suited to the mixed communal farming methods of the Anglo Saxons. The main open fields were on calcareous loam on the slopes SE and SW from the Church, which could still be described in 1809 as some of the best soil in Surrey.

  • GS Misc 1158 GENERAL SYNOD 1 Next Steps on Human Sexuality Following the February 2017 Group of Sessions, the Archbishops Of
    GS Misc 1158 GENERAL SYNOD Next Steps on Human Sexuality Following the February 2017 Group of Sessions, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York issued a letter on 16th February outlining their proposals for continuing to address, as a church, questions concerning human sexuality. The Archbishops committed themselves and the House of Bishops to two new strands of work: the creation of a Pastoral Advisory Group and the development of a substantial Teaching Document on the subject. This paper outlines progress toward the realisation of these two goals. Introduction 1. Members of the General Synod will come back to the subject of human sexuality with very clear memories of the debate and vote on the paper from the House of Bishops (GS 2055) at the February 2017 group of sessions. 2. Responses to GS 2055 before and during the Synod debate in February underlined the point that the ‘subject’ of human sexuality can never simply be an ‘object’ of consideration for us, because it is about us, all of us, as persons whose being is in relationship. Yes, there are critical theological issues here that need to be addressed with intellectual rigour and a passion for God’s truth, with a recognition that in addressing them we will touch on deeply held beliefs that it can be painful to call into question. It must also be kept constantly in mind, however, that whatever we say here relates directly to fellow human beings, to their experiences and their sense of identity, to their lives and to the loves that shape and sustain them.

  • February 2021 Support for Leicester Cathedral Revealed
    Diocese of Leicester Diocesan Synod – 13th February 2021 Support for Leicester Cathedral Revealed Resolution 1 The Synod agrees to make a grant of £500,000 from the funds of the Leicester Diocesan Board of Finance to the ‘Leicester Cathedral Revealed’ project. Amendment 1 The Synod amends Resolution 1 by substituting ‘The Synod approves the purchase at fair market value by the Leicester Diocesan Board of Finance of one of the clergy houses belonging to Leicester Cathedral.’ The pages which follow set out the case for Synod to support Resolution 1 or Amendment 1. 0. Procedural note 0.1 The DBF trustees agreed to recommend to the Diocesan Synod, but subject to Bishops Leadership Team (BLT) endorsement of the missional priority of the project, “that the Cathedral should be awarded a grant of £500k towards Leicester Cathedral Revealed (LCR). The trustees further agreed that, in the event that it were not possible to award a grant, then the option of buying one of the Cathedral clergy houses and leasing it back should be pursued.” 0.2 Following consideration of this recommendation, there was a clear consensus amongst the members of BLT to endorse the recommendation of the DBF trustees. Accordingly, Synod is presented with Resolution 1, which encapsulates the preference of both the DBF Trustees and the members of BLT. However, Amendment 1 will be moved to enable Synod, should it not feel able to make a grant, to consider the alternative of supporting LCR by purchasing and leasing back one of the Cathedral clergy houses, thereby releasing its cash value for the Cathedral to put towards the costs of LCR.

  • 'Solved by Sacrifice' : Austin Farrer, Fideism, and The
    ‘SOLVED BY SACRIFICE’ : AUSTIN FARRER, FIDEISM, AND THE EVIDENCE OF FAITH Robert Carroll MacSwain A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of PhD at the University of St. Andrews 2010 Full metadata for this item is available in the St Andrews Digital Research Repository at: https://research-repository.st-andrews.ac.uk/ Please use this identifier to cite or link to this item: http://hdl.handle.net/10023/920 This item is protected by original copyright ‘SOLVED BY SACRIFICE’: Austin Farrer, Fideism, and the Evidence of Faith Robert Carroll MacSwain A thesis submitted to the School of Divinity of the University of St Andrews in candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The saints confute the logicians, but they do not confute them by logic but by sanctity. They do not prove the real connection between the religious symbols and the everyday realities by logical demonstration, but by life. Solvitur ambulando, said someone about Zeno’s paradox, which proves the impossibility of physical motion. It is solved by walking. Solvitur immolando, says the saint, about the paradox of the logicians. It is solved by sacrifice. —Austin Farrer v ABSTRACT 1. A perennial (if controversial) concern in both theology and philosophy of religion is whether religious belief is ‘reasonable’. Austin Farrer (1904-1968) is widely thought to affirm a positive answer to this concern. Chapter One surveys three interpretations of Farrer on ‘the believer’s reasons’ and thus sets the stage for our investigation into the development of his religious epistemology. 2. The disputed question of whether Farrer became ‘a sort of fideist’ is complicated by the many definitions of fideism.
