2 EDITORIAL

The academic year 2013-14 will perhaps be most noted in memories for its farewells to one Master (Illus 1) and, at its end, the welcoming of a new Master (see Illus 7). In other aspects the year has evolved in a manner resembling other years, including the regrets of reporting two deaths among the Hon. Fellows. College News reports a further increase in the number of Fellows, with a background refrain of individual successes in various fields. There is also expression of thanks to donors, and a general thankfulness that the support of the College by its alumni/ae is so strong. The support by alumni is also clear in the items of interest, which are often regarded as the core of the Annual. Simon Currie offers a poem, and Meredith Belbin his recollections of days as a student. Most of all, I am grateful to John Rutter for his detailed account of Memories of Venice with the Chapel Choir. The advancement of the Alumni Council annual meeting to September instead of December is thought to be a helpful change. In the final part of the issue, a trend noted before continues, in that there are more death notices in “Old Clare” News, and there are certainly more full obituaries. You may not know any of the names, but there are some stirring stories there. Stephen Elstub notes that a further ten thousand bulbs have been planted in the avenue and we all look forward to an even finer display this spring. The new plantings in Ashby Court and the Colony are now well developed (Illus 2), although the latter has been disturbed by 2015 building work on Castlebrae. The thoroughness of the overhaul of Old Court is surely shown by Illus 5, on page 13. Traces of the Tudor Court, built ca.1523, have been found.

5 HENRY FREDERICK ROSS (Sir Fred) CATHERWOOD, a well-regarded holder of many public offices, has died at the age of 89. Born in Northern Ireland, he was sent to Shrewbury School and came to Clare in 1943. He read History for two years, and spent his final year in Law. He found his mother’s prediction fulfilled, that he would be making friends that he would keep for life. Fred Catherwood, John Marsh and David Leggett became such friends, three Clare contemporaries who remained in active touch. John Marsh married Catherwood's sister Elizabeth, so becoming brothers-in-law and their respective children were cousins. David Leggett's children decided they were thus honorary cousins, and so the friendship begun at Clare in 1943 has now spanned three generations, since Fred Catherwood's great-nephew David Weston (John Marsh's grandson) is also a Clare graduate. With Sir Fred Catherwood's death the last of the trio, who met through the Clare group of the Cambridge InterCollegiate Christian Union (CICCU), has passed away. Fred was already a Christian before coming up to Clare, but it was there, and in the CICCU (of which he was Vice-President) that he discovered the vigorous, thoughtful and socially compassionate Evangelicalism that was to be his life-long hallmark. His view of history and society, about which he would write much in subsequent years, were also shaped by his study at Cambridge. And he remained justly proud of his membership of the Clare rowing team that achieved Head of the River in the Mays, (actually for the fourth of four years 1941-44), a memory of which even illness did not rob him. After graduation, Fred qualified as an accountant in 1951 and joined the construction company Costain. His success is shown by the fact that ‘within a year he was made its Chief Executive’. He worked very hard and achieved similar success in other business posts.

6 In the mid 1960s he became director-general of the National Economic Development Council (NEDC). This gave him the job of bringing together the government, trade unions and management. Much has been written about the interactions in this triangle, both then and subsequently. After five years of this, Fred left and returned to the building trade, and he was knighted. He was one of the first Conservative MEPs in 1979, representing an area including Cambridge, and retired from the European Parliament in 1994. In general in his political career, his opinion was respected but he was not a leader. He sought consensus rather than offer political leadership. There was often more of a moral position in his thinking than some wished to adopt. He was a teetotal Ulsterman who took a Bible class every Sunday. Fred sought to apply Christian principles to the world of business, warning against excessive remuneration and use of industrial muscle. In his first book The Christian in Industrial Society (1964) he wrote ‘Luxurious expenditure is both depraving and a social evil’. He told the Church of Scotland that businessmen travelling the globe faced a culture of bribery, fiddling taxes and expenses and ‘other temptations’. He warned ‘The danger to democracy today does not come from communism, but from humanism’. Sir Fred's return to Cambridge in 1979, as the MEP, enabled him to re-establish direct contact with his old college, and his election as an Honorary Fellow gave him enormous joy. The care given him in his later years by the then Master, Professor Badger, was especially appreciated by the family. His Golden Wedding celebration took place in Clare in 2004, just before his long final illness became pronounced, and it was so fitting that Clare provided the venue for what turned out to be his swansong. Fred married Elizabeth Lloyd Jones in 1954, and they had two sons and a daughter, by whom he will be greatly mourned.

9 Sir PHILIP MANNING DOWSON

Sir Philip Dowson CBE PRA RIBA was one of Britain’s most important architects. Educated at Gresham's School, Norfolk, he spent a year reading mathematics at University College, Oxford, before joining the Royal Navy during the Second World War and serving in both the Atlantic and Pacific theatres. He returned to study History of Art at Clare College, Cambridge, from 1947 to 1950, and then trained at the Architectural Association. He joined the engineering firm Ove Arup and Partners in 1953 as an architect and in 1963, with Ove Arup, Ronald Hobbs and Derek Sugden, became a founding partner and later chief architect of Arup Associates. Composed of an innovative and collaborative team of influential architects, engineers and quantity surveyors, Arup Associates' approach to design was rational, scientific, and based on a belief that the function of a building, the nature of the materials used and the necessary methods of construction should form the basis of design. For Clare College members he has special cause for recognition and honour in his design and guidance of the building of the Forbes- Mellon Library and its associated facilities. Philip Dowson’s plans for the building were drawn up and approved by the Governing Body by May 1983. An appeal to alumni for financial support ran from 1983-85, and was well supported. The completed building was opened by the University Chancellor, the Duke of Edinburgh, on the 11th of June 1986. Among numerous other awards and honours, Sir Philip Dowson was made a CBE in 1969, and received a Knighthood in 1980. He was elected to the Royal Academy of Arts in 1979 and two years later was awarded the Royal Gold Medal for Architecture. In 1992 he was elected an Honorary Fellow of Clare, and he was President of the Royal Academy of Arts from 1993 to 1999. He is survived by his wife, Lady Sarah Dowson MBE, his son, two daughters, and six grandchildren.

10 COLLEGE NEWS

FELLOWS

The general tone of the news of Clare is of progress to new things, and a strong hope of continued advancement. Anthony, Lord Grabiner QC was installed during a brief ceremony in Clare Chapel on the 2nd of October (see Illus 8, page 67). On Monday 6 October he presided over the 2014 Matriculation ceremony, the first major occasion of his Mastership, and welcomed our newest Undergraduates to the Clare community (unusually, it rained for the Freshers’ photograph, so it was a real baptism). Lord Grabiner, who offers his own message to alumni on page 63, was educated at the Central Foundation Boys' School, Hackney, then at the London School of Economics (LSE) where he completed his LLM in 1967. He intends to continue his distinguished career as a QC, Deputy High Court judge and Head of Chambers at One Essex Court, alongside his duties as Master. In academic advancement we report the promotion to Professor for Jonathan Goodman and for Marina Frolova-Walker. Paul Cartledge has been awarded a 5-year Senior Research Fellowship by the A.G. Leventis Foundation, to be held at Clare, with effect from October 1st 2014. It is very fitting that Paul's distinguished scholarship and his work for the college should be rewarded in this way. Congratulations go to Professor Andrew Holmes (Fellow), who has been elected the next President of the Australian Academy of Science. Alumni will also want to join the Fellowship in celebrating Simon Franklin's Leverhulme Trust Major Research Fellowship which he will hold from October 2014 until September 2016. This is a particularly fitting reward for all his work for the College, 11 Faculty and the School and yet another example of the spectacular success of our MML Fellows in winning these highly competitive awards. Rachael Harris has been awarded a Pilkington Prize for excellence in teaching. Her citation reads: "Rachael Harris is, with her close colleague Mrs Nadira Auty, the cornerstone of the Arabic teaching programme in the undergraduate tripos. For the last 26 years at Cambridge she has given heart and soul to the training of our undergraduate students, helping them to achieve levels of confident fluency in Arabic recognised as remarkable in the national context. Together they have blazed a trail in the professional teaching of Arabic language." Alumni will share our pleasure at the election of Marina Frolova-Walker as a Fellow of the British Academy. This is a tremendous achievement, being one of only five Cambridge academics so recognized this year. Congratulations also go to Rodrigo Cacho on his being awarded a British Academy Mid-Career Fellowship for his project on The Rise of Colonial Spanish-American Poetry, 1589-1610. It is a tribute to the quality of our younger Fellows that they are so successful in securing external recognition of their excellence. Rodrigo's Fellowship will run for a year from January 2015. Similarly, Fellows join in congratulating Sian Lazar on her British Academy Mid-Career Fellowship for the calendar year 2015. The College's mid-career academics have been doing particularly well in this competition - testimony to their excellence. Fellows, staff and students were sorry to learn that Gregory Seach is to stand down as Dean at the end of December 2014 to take up the post of Warden of Wollaston College in Western Australia from 1 January 2015. Since 2008, Greg has not only provided superb leadership in the Chapel but has provided wise

Illus 5a Colin Forbes inspects the Collyweston slates 5b Remnants of the Tudor Court foundations revealed

13 pastoral counsel, great sympathy and understanding, and a warm collegiality to all members of the Clare community. Greg is going to a very important job, which will fully exploit his skills in theological education and will be critical to the development of the Church in Australia. Everybody will wish him success in the next stage of his career.

The total number of Master, Fellows and Bye-Fellows has now risen to 151. William Cavert and Alexander Roose have left, being at the end of their fellowships, but eleven new elections have been made during the academic year. They are introduced in their own words:- Dr Nicholas Zammit was elected a Fellow in January 2014, having joined the University of Cambridge as a teaching associate in the Faculty of Economics directly following the completion of his PhD. He grew up in Canada and obtained an MA in Economics from Queen’s University before moving to the United Kingdom to complete a PhD in Economics (with a focus on Economic History) at the University of Warwick in 2013. This PhD research looked at 19th century economic growth in ‘Settler Economies’ (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina & South Africa). His recent work involves the use of non-parametric frontier analysis to determine the relative efficiency of manufacturing firms in the British Empire. Another recent project involves an economic cost-benefit analysis of participation in World War One for several British Dominions. He also recently travelled to Hitotsubashi University in Japan, as a visiting young researcher, to work on a joint paper with Prof. Kyoji Fukao exploring the comparative manufacturing efficiency of Britain and Japan following the Meiji Restoration. His love of teaching was seen early, when he began teaching

14 seminars in Microeconomics and Econometrics during the third year of his undergraduate degree. It continues throughout his studies, as he teaches seminars and lectures in several areas of economics.

Dr Alyson Tapp writes:- I studied for my BA at Pembroke College, Cambridge and received an MA from the University of Sheffield before striking out west to study at the University of California, Berkeley, from where I received a PhD in Slavic Languages and Literatures in 2011. I then taught Russian language and literature at Reed College, a small liberal arts college in Portland, Oregon before returning to Cambridge and coming to Clare in January 2014. My research focuses on nineteenth-century Russian literature. At the most general level, I am interested in the different ways in which the Russian literary tradition gives expression to subjectivity and forms of feeling. In particular, I have been studying the Russian elegiac tradition from the beginning of the nineteenth century—under the influence of the translation of Gray’s Elegy from English—and the varieties of mourning and hope that it projects. Viewing the Russian nineteenth century from its other end and from a distance, I’ve also been interested in Virginia Woolf as a reader of the novels of Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, and others, and as a writer of her own elegiac fictions. Ten years of living on the west coast of the US gave me a new sense of the scale and human settledness of landscape, and so it’s with that new awareness, back in the UK, that I’ve been enjoying exploring East Anglia and beyond!

Dr. Lucy Colwell was elected to a fellowship in March 2014. Following undergraduate studies at Cambridge, she moved to Harvard University where she was awarded a PhD in 2010. This was followed by an EPSRC fellowship that allowed her to work 15 with research groups at multiple institutions in both the UK and the US. She was appointed to a lectureship in chemistry in August 2013. Her research develops algorithms that analyse and extract information from large, high-dimensional and often noisy datasets. Recently she has focused on sets of protein sequences, and together with collaborators, showed that by understanding the correlation structure of these sequences it was possible to predict tertiary protein structure from the statistical variation present in large sequence alignments.

Dr Edgar Turner writes that he is Academic Director and Teaching Officer in Biological Sciences at the Institute of Continuing Education (Madingley Hall), and an Affiliated Researcher in the Department of Zoology. His research focuses on insect ecology and conservation. In particular he helps to coordinate the Biodiversity and Ecosystem Function in Tropical Agriculture (BEFTA) Project, based in Sumatra, Indonesia (www.oilpalmbiodiversity.com) and is associated with the Stability of Altered Forest Ecosystems (SAFE) Project in Sabah, Malaysia. Ed studied for his undergraduate degree and PhD in Cambridge (Girton College), before working for the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire Wildlife Trust for four years, investigating butterfly diversity on chalk grassland reserves and heathland management in Bedfordshire. He then worked for Imperial College, London for two years, coordinating the SAFE Project in Sabah (www.safeproject.net), one of the largest ecological experiments in the world. For the last two years, he has been based back at Cambridge as part of Dr William Foster’s research group in the Department of Zoology, investigating ways

16 that Sumatran oil palm plantations can be managed to benefit biodiversity and productivity alike. Ed enjoys communicating science and natural history to wider audiences and is regularly involved in outreach activities. He is a keen cross-country runner and gardener.

Dr Rowan Leary, a materials scientist and electron microscopist, joined Clare as a Junior Research Fellow in October 2014. His research interests revolve around high resolution and novel three-dimensional characterisation via transmission electron microscopy. In pursuit of these tasks, he has developed a strong interest in 'compressed sensing', a sampling and recovery strategy capable of reconstructing signals from far fewer measurements than traditional theories dictate are necessary. He also has a particular interest in the characterisation of nanoparticulate catalysts. These topics were the focus of his PhD studies in the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy at the University of Cambridge. Now, during his Junior Research Fellowship at Clare, he hopes to unravel many intricacies of so- called atomic clusters (ultra-small aggregates comprising ca. 2-20 atoms) using transmission electron microscopy. In particular, this will involve atomic clusters that are prospective high-performance catalysts for application in a variety of processes of social and environmental significance. Before coming to Cambridge, Rowan obtained his MEng/BEng in Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Leeds. There, in addition to his undergraduate research projects, he also undertook a number of additional research projects, using and developing electron microscopy techniques. As part of these he has worked in connection with GlaxoSmithKline, with whom he also collaborated during a research project in the Department of Physics at the University of Cambridge.

Dr Arno Pauly was admitted to the Fellowship of Clare in October 2014. He received a B.Sc. in Computer Science from the University of Hagen in 2003 (at the age of 16, presumably as the hitherto youngest German university graduate). The degree was followed by an M.Sc. in Computer Science in 2007, and a Diplom in Mathematics in 2008. He then came to Cambridge as a PhD student at the Computer Laboratory. He joined Clare College as the Denman Baynes senior student in 2010 and completed his PhD in 2012. His research interests revolve around Computability; ranging from its connections to the foundations of mathematics to the implications for economic theory.

Dr Heike Laman writes ‘I was born and lived in Jamaica before moving to Miami, Florida to attend high school and the University of Miami. I majored in Microbiology and Immunology with a double minor in Biology and Chemistry. I was awarded my Bachelor of Science and graduated with cum laude and with General Honors, which is awarded to students who excel in subjects outside their major. I went to Columbia University, New York City for my Masters and Doctoral studies, where I studied chromatin formation in yeast. I was awarded an MA, MPhil, and my PhD in 1997, whereupon I moved to London. I worked as a post-doctoral research fellow at the Imperial Cancer Research Fund and then in the Wolfson Institute for Biomedical Research, UCL before starting my research laboratory at the University of Cambridge in the Department of Pathology. I research open questions in the biology of oncogenic herpes viruses, cancer, and Parkinson's disease.

18 I follow a variety of interests ranging from architecture, art, literature, theatre, psychology, science fiction and business development.’

Ms Alysia Blackham has commenced as the Turpin-Lipstein Fellow and College Lecturer in Law, supervising tort and equity at undergraduate level, and teaching on the European Social Rights and Economic Integration masters course. Her research focuses on employment and equality law and public law. She has previously worked as an employment law solicitor at Herbert Smith Freehills in Sydney, taught at the University of Sydney and University of New South Wales, and worked as Executive Officer to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Corporate Services) at the University of Technology, Sydney. She holds qualifications in law, political science and higher education teaching from the University of Melbourne and University of Sydney. Alysia's PhD thesis, entitled Extending Working Life for Older Workers: An Empirical Legal Analysis of Age Discrimination Laws in the UK', is currently under examination at the University of Cambridge.

Dr David Essex is elected for one year as cover in Mathematics for a Fellow on leave.

Mr Simon Buczacki joined Clare as a Fellow in October 2014. He studied medicine at Cambridge (Gonville and Caius, 1995) and then underwent his basic and advanced surgical training in and around Addenbrooke's Hospital, sub-specialising in Colorectal 19 Surgery. From 2009 to 2012 he took a PhD at the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute, studying the behaviour of quiescent stem cells in the intestine and colorectal cancer. In 2014 he acquired a Cancer Research UK Clinician Scientist Fellowship to continue his research into understanding tumour heterogeneity and the paracrine** manipulation of cancer stem cell behaviour, back at the Cambridge Institute. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 2014 and holds an honorary clinical post at the Cambridge Colorectal Unit, Addenbrooke's, where he begins as a Consultant in 2015. He has been supervising anatomy at Clare since 2009 and previously held positions as both a College Research Associate and Harrison-Watson Senior Student. When not in the laboratory or operating theatre he maintains keen interests in gardening and skiing. (footnote:- ** paracrine = relating to or denoting a hormone which has effect only in the vicinity of the gland secreting it.)

Dr Paloma Gonzalez-Bellido writes:- ‘Ever since I can remember, I wanted to be a scientist. More specifically, a marine biologist because the coral reef offered an attractive mix of extreme biological adventure and breathtaking beauty. Hence, after growing up in Spain, I moved to Australia (UQ, Brisbane) for my undergraduate studies. There, I was fascinated with the physiology of the native organisms. Do reef fish perceive each other and the corals as being colourful? How does the brain of a tiny shrimp make sense of so much visual information? I learned that such questions were addressed by two fields called

20 Sensory Ecology and Neuroethology, which sit at the interface of Neuroscience, Ecology and Behavioural Science. To start my research in vision physiology, I decided to pursue a PhD studying fly photoreceptors through in-vivo electrophysiology and microscopy (at University of Sheffield, UK). As part of my PhD, I carried out a comparative work and I showed that a predatory lifestyle leads to very specific and extreme visual adaptations in miniature fly species. A month after I finished my thesis I moved to Janelia Farm Research Campus (Virginia, USA) to investigate the neural code utilized by the neurons believed to drive the predatory attack of dragonflies. Next, I worked as a postdoctoral scientist at the Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, Massachusetts, USA), investigating how squids see and command their motor neurons to exhibit the correct camouflage and iridescent colour of their skin. During that time I kept on developing my research on predatory insects. Such animals serve as excellent models for investigating the sensory-motor conversion of visual information. Understanding how this happens will aid the pursuit of new technologies, such as autonomous vehicles and brain-computer interfaces. In the spring of 2014 I moved to Cambridge, as Lecturer in Physiology in the PDN Department, and shortly after joined Clare College.’

Other College news: In February 2014, Dr Toby Wilkinson introduced his latest book, The Nile: downriver through Egypt's past and present, (Bloomsbury) which is said to combine "scholarship, accessibility, and a genuine sense of revelation" (Observer) and to bring its ancient past and chaotic present "splendidly to life” (Telegraph).

One of the happy consequences of having accommodation to spare this year is that the College was able to support initiatives such as the Cambridge-Africa Programme, by providing much needed

21 College rooms to house eight visiting researchers. Cambridge- Africa is a University-wide Programme that incorporates a range of capacity building and collaborative research initiatives; Clare's support was facilitated by our fellow in African History, Dr. Ruth Watson. Members of the College community and alumni who are interested finding out more about Cambridge-Africa can visit their website: www.cambridge-africa.cam.ac.uk.

HONORARY FELLOWS

There is news that our senior Hon.Fellow, James D Watson (mat. 1951) is to auction his Nobel Prize medal 'in support of great ideas'. Christie's auction house says it will be the first medal to be sold by a living Nobel laureate, and could fetch as much as £2.2 million (actually over £3m on the day). In addition, Professor Watson will be selling a collection of his papers, including handwritten notes for his acceptance speech. These are estimated at a similar value. James intends to use part of the proceeds from the sale to ensure that the academic world remains a place for great ideas, by donating sums to the institutions where he has studied and worked over the years, including Clare. With regret, we note the deaths of two Hon.Fellows: Sir Fred Catherwood (1943), with an obituary on Page 6, and the death of Sir Philip Dowson (1947), for whom see an obituary on Page 10. We collectively congratulate Prof Frances Kirwan on her being appointed DBE in the 2014 New Year Honours List, ‘for services to Mathematics”

FORMER FELLOWS AND VISITORS

Professor Richard Taylor FRS (1980) has been selected as one of five recipients of the first-ever international 'Breakthrough' prize for mathematics. Created by Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, and Yuri Milner, an internet entrepreneur, the newly- 22 established prizes (for excellence in the fields of fundamental physics, life sciences and mathematics) are intended to elevate scientists and mathematicians to 'rock star status' in the public eye. Canon Andrew White (Eric Lane Fellow 2003) constantly describes, with great faith and hope, the dire situation in Baghdad. We have recent news of his travels in his report thus:- “Another highlight of the USA trip was the presentation to me yesterday of the Anne Frank Award for Religious Tolerance. This was a very major event organised by the Government of Holland, and the response from the US and Dutch governments was very positive. It graciously recognized my role in peace-making in the Middle East, acknowledging the very considerable risks that I had taken. It meant a lot to me that this award was in memory of Anne Frank, a young girl who epitomises the international role in working for religious freedom, having personally given her life in search for the freedom of religion.” In the Sunday Times for the 23rd November there is a report that Canon Andrew was, in the previous month, ordered out of Baghdad by Archbishop Welby. This reflected the increasing danger to Christians in Iraq from the Isis fighters, and the reported price of £36m ‘on the head of Canon Andrew White, Bishop of Baghdad’. With some protest, Andrew has moved to Jerusalem, to do whatever he can from there.

GRADUATE STUDENTS

Edward Oughton, MCR President 2014-15 writes:- The reputation of Clare College for providing a first-class graduate experience continues to resonate among the other Cambridge colleges. Indeed, I'm regularly told by other postgraduates that “if I had my time again I would apply to Clare". Currently I believe this is because Clare MCR not only has excellent facilities in Old Court following last year's refurbishment,

23 but also is renowned for having a friendly and open-minded atmosphere — much to the envy of others! In the 2014-15 academic year we are making an extra effort to ensure that the MCR is inclusive of all members, and that we best represent the needs and desires of our diverse population. Much to our pleasure we have had a particularly intelligent and articulate intake of graduate scholars this year, who have enriched our community with their experience, knowledge and charm. As membership of Clare MCR continues to be highly-coveted we would like to thank the College for providing us with relative autonomy and for continuing to recognise the increasingly important role of graduates in the College's contemporary and future development. The Tutorial Office indicates that at the end of 2014 we have a total number of graduate students of about 203, ten more than a year earlier. Of this number, 148 are studying for the PhD degree (up 12 on 2013). The following are listed in the Reporter during 2014 as ‘approved for the PhD degree’.

The Director of Music, Graham Ross, writes:- Following a busy and successful summer of 2013, the Choir continued to build on a number of initiatives set up by the Director of Music, including its continuing partnership with the recording label Harmonia Mundi USA, its representation by Ikon Arts Management, the continuation of the College’s Masterclass Series, and the generosity of the ongoing Friends of Clare Music scheme. The Choir’s principal role of providing music for the liturgy in Chapel has offered, as ever, an extremely broad range of repertoire for Choir and congregations alike. In addition to the three weekly services, the Choir sang Tomàs Luis de Victoria’s Requiem for All Souls’ Day, and Allegri’s Miserere for Ash Wednesday. Music for each term stretched from medieval plainchant to contemporary works, with much in between. Services have included numerous solo opportunities for individual members of the Choir, and have utilised all four of the Chapel’s keyboard instruments. Additional instrumentalists have been brought in for such works as Fauré’s Cantique de Jean Racine and Schubert’s Gott ist mein Hirt performed with members of The Schubert Ensemble, Britten’s Rejoice in the Lamb with the Aurora Orchestra, and the première of Nico Muhly’s Let all the world in every corner sing for choir, cello and organ, commissioned by Graham Ross and the Choir in 2014. The Dean and Director of Music continue to work closely together to plan the liturgy, and to oversee the pastoral side of the members of the Choir. In autumn 2013 the Choir released the first recording in its new series on the Harmonia Mundi USA label of works for the church year. Veni Emmanuel: Music for Advent reached No. 4 in the UK Classical Charts, was hailed as ‘magnificent’ in a 4* review in The Times, and formed the basis of a six-concert tour around the USA in December 2014, which saw the Choir perform in Princeton, NJ, Boston, MA, Concord, NH, St Johnsbury, VT, Cincinnati, OH and 27 Cleveland, OH. In spring 2014, Stabat Mater dolorosa: Music for Passiontide, the second recording in the series, was released worldwide, earning praise for ‘immensely beautiful singing’ (International Record Review), ‘consummate musicianship’ (Gramophone) and ‘an outstanding disc’ (MusicWeb International, Recording of the Month). The Choir’s recording of Handel’s Coronation Anthems and Ode for the Birthday of Queen Anne with the European Union Baroque Orchestra was released in May 2014, winning Editor’s Choice in Gramophone, and earning 3* reviews in BBC Music Magazine and the Financial Times. In addition, the Choir recorded an All Saints/All Souls programme (March 2014) and an Ascensiontide/Pentecost programme (July 2014) for release in 2015. The recording sessions for all the Harmonia Mundi USA recordings were produced, engineered and edited by Honorary Fellow and former Director of Music John Rutter, to whom the Choir is much indebted. The Michaelmas Term ended with the popular Advent Carol Services in the College Chapel, and a special performance of Bach’s B minor Mass in the Great Hall to a sell-out audience, with a one- to-a-part period orchestra led by Clare alumna Margaret Faultless, and with all the solo arias taken by members of the Choir. The Choir gave another performance of the work at King’s Place, London with the Aurora Orchestra under the direction of Clare alumnus Nicholas Collon, with the Choir lauded for their ‘ravishing tone’ (Planet Hugill) and a ‘contribution beyond reproach’ (Boulezian). The Choir had previously performed with Aurora Orchestra in two staged performances of Britten’s Rejoice in the Lamb at The Apex, Bury St Edmunds and at LSO St Luke’s, London. The Choir gave a concert in Cadogan Hall, London of Victoria’s Requiem and music for choir and strings alongside the Director of Music’s instrumental group, The Dmitri Ensemble. The calendar year was rounded off by the Choir’s annual concert at St John’s, Smith Square in London, after which Timothy and Christina Benn once again kindly hosted a drinks reception, and a service at St Mary’s Rotherhithe, London – of which Clare College is a 28 Patron. In December 2013 the Choir were again invited to sing on Radio 3’s In Tune to promote the concerts in mid-December, and whilst on tour in the USA Graham Ross was interviewed on Boston’s public radio to promote the Choir’s Advent recording. Collaborations with other Cambridge choirs have this year seen the Choir sing joint services with the Chapel Choirs of Girton, Jesus, Magladene, Corpus Christi, St John’s and Trinity Colleges. A massed choir performance of Tippett’s A Child of our Time took place in King’s College Chapel with Cambridge University Music Society. The Director of Music continues to pursue an active programme of visiting schools and welcoming visiting students and choirs to observe or join the Chapel Choir for services, including this year a joint service with singers from Eltham College, London. In spring 2014 the College welcomed internationally-renowned soprano Joan to give a masterclass for aspiring singers. New music continues to play a large part in the Choir’s performing schedule, most notably through the works of Giles Swayne, the College’s Composer-in-Residence, who retired in July 2014. In Easter Term 2014 the Choir premièred new commissions from Giles Swayne and Graham Ross, as well as from American Nico Muhly and Australian Brett Dean. All the composers worked with the Choir in preparation for the first performances, and ahead of the Choir’s recording of all the works for forthcoming release on the Harmonia Mundi USA label. Former Director of Music John Rutter’s Christ is the morning star was commissioned by Graham Ross for performance in the Advent Carol Services and the Choir’s annual Christmas Concert at St John’s, Smith Square, London. In summer 2013 the Choir performed in Southend Festival, sang Choral Evensong in St Paul’s Cathedral, London, recorded a programme of Passiontide repertoire for Harmonia Mundi USA - which went on to receive glowing 5* reviews in the national and international press - and made return appearances at London’s Spitalfields Festival, Fenstanton’s Fringe in the Fen festival for Macmillan Cancer Support, and Northamptonshire’s Dingley Hall. 29 Two tours across Europe with Lars Ulrik Mortensen and the European Union Baroque Orchestra saw the Choir perform celebratory works by Handel in Bruges, Milan, Utrecht, Hagen, Darmstadt and London. Friends of Clare Music continues to build its resources and maintain crucial continuing links with the present Choir. This year, the Friends have supported the purchase of microphones in the College Chapel, to be installed in Michaelmas 2014 to allow the Choir to webcast Chapel services around the world from January 2015 onwards. In addition, donations to the Friends scheme has supported Clare musicians in numerous musical projects both in Cambridge and outside. 2014/15 promises a full year for the Choir and for music in the College, with external performances in St John’s, Smith Square, Royal Albert Hall, King’s College Chapel, King’s Place, London, St Mary’s, Lamberhust, Kent, Blackheath Halls, St John’s, Waterloo, Blandford, Dorset, with repeat collaborations with Aurora Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and The Dmitri Ensemble, a performance of Brahms’s Requiem under Howard Shelley in the annual CUMS Concert in King’s Chapel, and overseas tours under the direction of the Director of Music across the Netherlands and the USA, making their debut at Washington’s Library of Congress in December 2014.

COLLEGE SOCIETIES

The Director of Music, Graham Ross, writes:- The Clare College Music Society (CCMS) is the only college music society ambitious enough to hold regular concerts in the West Road Concert Hall and, under President Ben Michaels (2012), CCMS presented a series of exciting and varied concerts throughout the year. The Michaelmas Term concert featured Mozart’s Requiem conducted by the Director of Music, Beethoven Symphony No. 1, conducted by Joel Sandelson (2013), and the première of Giles Swayne’s trombone concerto for thirteen instruments, Double Act, 30 composed for Michael Buchanan (2011), and conducted by Patrick Milne (2011). The Lent Term concert presented Beethoven’s Egmont Overture with Joel Sandelson, Britten’s Simple Symphony conducted by Hugo Popplewell (2011) and Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5, conducted by Naomi Woo (2013). The May Week concert presented an eclectic programme of two Rossini overtures, operatic arias featuring soloists from the Chapel Choir, Villa-Lobos’ Bachianas Brasilieras No. 1 for eight cellos and soprano Gabrielle Haigh (2010), and some close harmony arrangements performed during the interval. In addition to the regular Monday lunchtime recitals in Chapel, CCMS staged Pergolesi’s La serva padrona in the College Chapel. In West Road Concert Hall, Music student Patrick Milne conducted a fully-staged performance of Mozart’s Don Giovanni with the University Opera Society, which featured a number of soloists from the Chapel Choir.

STAFF NEWS

After almost 10 years at Clare College, Kevin Cash will leaving to become Head Porter at Christ’s College. He has been a model of professionalism but also a very welcoming ‘face of the College’ for both visitors and members of the College. In the preparation of the final text of the Annual comes news of the death of Charlie Hampton, who passed away on 23.12.2014 following a heart attack and a short spell in intensive care at Addenbrookes. Charlie had worked for the College for almost 25 years. All were invited to attend a reception for the Forbes-Mellon librarian, Anne Hughes, who was retiring on 12.6.2014. Anne had been at Clare for thirteen years and we wished her a long and happy retirement. Hot on the heels of a successful win in The University Catering Organisation (TUCO) competition in Blackpool, our Sous Chef,

31 Byron Franklin, competed in the final of the BCF competition in Birmingham on Monday. The BCF is a national competition which is normally populated by rising stars from Michelin starred hotels. Getting to the final is an outstanding achievement in itself. Competing against the best that Britain has to offer, Byron was asked to present a 3 course meal within a 2 hour time limit. Coached by our own international chef judge, Lee Corke, Byron competed against 9 other chefs under the scrutiny of internationally famous celebrity chefs boasting a total of 13 Michelin stars between them. No pressure there then! Supporters from Clare say “The range and complexity of skills required for Byron's dishes meant that he used all but 2 minutes of the allotted time - a good sign, but not good for the jangling nerves as we proudly watched his progress from the spectator gallery. With all the dishes presented, the judges locked themselves away for almost 2 hours before reaching their final decision. In what was a very close competition, of the highest standard, Byron came a magnificent 2nd, being pipped at the post by Adam Handling, the runner up in the recent series of Master Chef - The Professionals. Having started the day pleased to be in the final and rubbing shoulders with the best in Britain, Byron was initially disappointed with coming so close to the major prize; on reflection, he realised that his dishes had been superlative and that he had pushed the eventual winner – and the judges - all the way”. So, well done to Byron and to our Catering Manager, Lee Corke, for their exceptional work and for continuing to promote the outstanding reputation of the College.

The MASTERSHIP OF TONY BADGER

When the Editor invited me to contribute a short piece about Tony Badger, he tactfully pointed out that I should avoid making it sound like an obituary. After several false starts, I realised that any tribute to Tony would inevitably be a memoir not so much of him, but more of his time as Master of Clare from 2003-2014. It would, if you like, be an obituary of a Mastership, a completed period in the College’s long history. Looking back, I think that the single most striking aspect of Tony’s Mastership is how much change he achieved during those eleven years. According to the media, Cambridge is an ossified institution that may perhaps have altered slightly during the last eight hundred years, but in essence has scarcely pulled itself in to the twentieth century, let alone the twenty-first. Anyone familiar with Clare knows that is a gross misrepresentation, and under Tony’s leadership, Clare retained its reputation of being an exceptionally forward-looking College that readily adapts to a shifting economic and social environment. Considering Cambridge more widely, thanks to his common-sense approach (not necessarily an attribute of Cambridge professors), Tony did much to ensure 39 fairer and more equitable conditions throughout the collegiate University. His most visible innovation is the Gillespie Centre in the new Lerner Court, which opened in June 2009 and houses not only accommodation of a standard far exceeding most students’ and parents’ expectations, but also one of the best lecture theatres in Cambridge. That physical transformation would not have been possible without Tony’s strategic and far-sighted dedication to fund-raising. When he arrived, alumni donations totalled less than £300,000 per year, but by his retirement, they had increased to over £4 million per year. Made possible by this alumni generosity, the Gillespie Centre’s main function is to help us generate revenue through hosting conferences both during Full Term and in the vacations. This is now one of our major income streams, and helps to compensate for the harsh and unpleasant reality that government support for world-class education is diminishing and will almost certainly continue to do so. During the last decade, our alumni community expanded and came to play a greater role in College life. From my perspective, Tony seemed an indefatigable traveller, frequently visiting distant countries to ensure that Clare’s former students were kept up-to- date with the latest Cambridge events. In particular, as an enthusiastic supporter of Clare’s rich programme of music events, he often joined our superb choir for concert tours all over the world. Moreover, he encouraged alumni to interact with students by giving lectures, mentoring and advising on career opportunities. As the employment market has tightened, Clare students have benefited enormously from both the practical and the financial support provided by their predecessors. There are also many less tangible legacies of Tony’s Mastership. Many of these stem from his firm statement of priorities, his relaxed and under-stated style, and his staunch support and personal knowledge of every single person in the college,

40 whatever their role. He took over a College committed to gender equality, and during the last twenty years the proportion of female teaching fellows has doubled to over a third. Just as significantly, our admissions process has become more egalitarian. While we maintain our position near the top of the annual Baxter tables, we regularly admit around 70% of our Home students from the maintained sector, which is well above the current University target, agreed with the government, of 61-63%. Our graduate numbers have increased, but Tony has ensured that this corresponded to an improvement of the facilities we offer them: the MCR lies symbolically and also literally in the centre of Old Court. Clare enjoys the reputation of being the most active College in the University’s access and outreach programme. Partly thanks to our corporate partners, we employ two Schools Liaison Officers, (one being half-time), which is more than any other College. They organise countless events both in Cambridge and in our two link areas, Tower Hamlets and Hackney, and Coventry and Warwick. Although the government assesses us by how many of these school students come to Cambridge, with Tony’s encouragement and personal involvement we have also been concerned to widen aspirations more generally. Some of our young visitors are still in primary school, and such early engagement seems crucial to us if we are to have any realistic impact on these children’s future ambitions and achievements. Tony’s influence will not, of course, abruptly end in 2014, as he will see when he returns to the College. A few years from now, although he might not fully inspect at close hand the restored roof of Old Court, he certainly will be impressed by the way the rooms have been renovated and greatly improved. This major rebuilding project was set in place by him, and its final appearance will owe much to his planning. Eleven years in almost seven hundred may not be very many, but Tony’s impact on Clare will endure for centuries into the future. Patricia Fara, Senior Tutor

41 BENEFACTIONS AND GIFTS

As the 700th anniversary of the College’s foundation approaches in 2026, Clare is planning to secure its future in an increasingly volatile financial world Our strategy is to raise £50 million by the time of this milestone to cover different broad areas of expenditure, as set out in the 2012- 13 issue of the Annual, and also as approved by the Alumni Council in December 2012. In the financial year ending on 30.6.2013, funds raised for Clare stood at £4.17 million, a significant increase on the previous year, and well above the comparable figure for many other Cambridge colleges. On the matter of ‘participation’ in donating, expressed as a percentage of Clare members donating at least once in the financial year, our figure of 19% is well above the participation averaged over other colleges (13%). The success of fundraising in the year is, no doubt, due to a renewed effort by the Development team, working with the Master, fellowship and alumni council volunteers, who have given publicity to the new campaign among Clare alumni. All donations of whatever size from alumni will be crucial to the success of this campaign. It will also be important to increase the number of alumni remembering the College in their wills. This is easily done via a Clare codicil form available from the Development Office. The challenge is always to increase the percentage of members supporting the College on a regular basis, since this will be the key to Clare’s future wellbeing. In comparable institutions in the USA the figure for participation could be as high as 60%. A complete list of donors to Clare is normally published annually in a supplement to Clare News.

42 DONOR RECOGNITION

Clare is very happy to recognise benefactions by naming bursaries, scholarships, Fellowships, and other aspects of College life according to the wishes of the donor. The College has established special forms of recognition for benefactors at different levels:

Elizabeth de Clare Fellow (£500,000) The Governing Body of the College elects Elizabeth de Clare Fellows on the recommendation of the Master, to recognise individuals who, through generous benefaction, contribute to the present and future life of the College. Elizabeth de Clare Fellows are officially recognised as senior members of the College. As full members of the Senior Combination Room, Elizabeth de Clare Fellows enjoy the same rights and privileges as Honorary Fellows. Master’s Circle (£100,000) Members of the Master’s Circle are invited to an annual private dinner hosted by the Master in the Master’s Lodge. This event provides an exceptional opportunity for individuals to strengthen their involvement in the current and future life of Clare. The 1326 Society (£25,000 in the last 5 years) The 1326 Society recalls the year of the College’s original foundation. Members are invited with their spouses/partners to the annual Benefactors’ Dinner, and to other special events in Cambridge and elsewhere.

ACCESS AND OUTREACH Efforts have continued to encourage the brightest students, regardless of their background, to continue to apply to Clare or to consider higher education more generally. New Schools Liaison Team Rebecca Blaylock, who is a recent graduate of Clare College, is now assisted by Stephanie Baughen, a graduate of Homerton College, as the part-time Schools Liaison Officer. The team works through the Tutorial Office, and Clare College continues to boast one of the largest outreach schemes in both Oxford and Cambridge. Schools Liaison Programme Rebecca Blaylock, working full-time, has led efforts to expand and enrich Clare’s liaison activity with schools in the College’s link

45 areas of Tower Hamlets, Hackney, Coventry and Warwickshire. The College hosted around 41 visits from school groups from primary and secondary schools in these link areas, and the School Liaison Officers and Fellows have made a further 42 visits out to schools themselves. In total, therefore, there have been 83 events run as part of the Schools Liaison Programme. Highlights of a very full programme included:- • Continuing with a year-long STEM (scientific subjects) enrichment programme for sixth formers in Hackney, in partnership with BSix Sixth Form College, culminating in a residential (4 days) event during August. • In September 2013, three courses of 96 students attending ‘Year 10 Residential’, each group having 24 hours ‘packed full of activities’ to sample the facilities of Clare College and some university museums. Attendees came from 12 different schools, embracing Tower Hamlets, Hackney, Coventry and Warwickshire. • In September 2014, an inaugural Parents residential; a weekend for 15 parents/carers and one of their children. Many of them came from Tower Hamlets, to sample the facilities of Cambridge. • Continuing to work closely with Tower Hamlets Council and Hackney Learning Trust, on a regular basis, to run borough- wide information events for students, teachers and their parents. • Clare College has worked to engage more closely with parents in the 2013-14 academic year. Parents were invited to the College and received information and guidance regarding the university and the application process. They were then taken on tours of Clare College, the city centre and Newnham College. The feedback that the Schools Liaison Team received was overwhelmingly positive, and many parents felt that their impression of Cambridge had changed significantly. Most 46 importantly, a number of parents who had initially expressed their reservations about allowing their daughters to study away from East London later felt that they would actively encourage their daughters to apply to study at Cambridge. The Clare Partnership for Schools Now in its fourteenth year, the Clare Partnership for Schools works with pupils of all ages in the London borough of Tower Hamlets to raise aspirations and to encourage the pupils to make informed choices regarding higher education. The annual mentoring programme for sixth form students is particularly successful, with many students gaining places at leading universities. Clare remains deeply grateful to its three corporate partners, KPMG and Clifford Chance and Morgan Stanley, for their active and on-going support by supplying suitable mentors. Education Enrichment in Hackney This year saw the continuation of a successful lecture series in the borough. Several Clare fellows visited schools in Hackney to deliver lectures in their particular area of interest. This gave students an insight into the depth and breadth of a university education as well as the chance to reach beyond the National Curriculum. Dr Patricia Fara delivered a lecture on women in the history of science. Dr Charlie Weiss lectured on the Polytheistic Worlds of Ancient Greece and Rome whilst the final lecture was given by Dr Helen Thompson on the economy and American politics. The Clare Access Tour In the Easter vacation, the Clare Access Tour ventured to Coventry and Warwickshire, visiting 14 different schools, and giving around 600 school pupils the opportunity to meet Clare undergraduates, learn about higher education and the Oxbridge admissions process - all in five days! This longstanding initiative has received overwhelmingly positive feedback, which is a

47 testament both to the Access Tour and the Schools Liaison Programme more broadly. Community and Charitable Activities This year the Clare Bermondsey trust sponsored Isobel Scott- Barrett, who graduated in 2013 in Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, to undertake a placement at Bede House in Southwark, London. Bede House helps vulnerable members of the local community, and those with learning disabilities. Currently (January 2015), Danielle Cohen (2011) is with them, working in the Bede Starfish Domestic Violence and Hate Crime project. For more information please visit www.bedehouse.org.uk.

ERIC LANE FUND

The Fund supports annually as the Eric Lane Fellow someone who works in the area of 'peace and social harmony', and in the Lent term 2014, as Eric Lane Fellow, we had with us Tehmina Kazi. She is the Director of British Muslims for Secular Democracy, a charity which aims to raise awareness of the benefits of democracy (particularly secular democracy) helping to contribute to a shared vision of citizenship. It aims to reduce the democratic deficit within British Muslim communities, and works towards this aim by facilitating their involvement with mainstream democratic institutions. It also promotes religious understanding and harmony, as well as respect for different belief systems. Tehmina will use her time here to reflect on the fundamental themes underpinning her work, which have been called into question by conservative elements within Muslim communities. She wants to undertake detailed research on the compatibility of Islam with secular democracy, and continue her writing on progressive Muslim movements in a mutually beneficial environment. See her own report on page 60.

48 CLARE’S REMEMBRANCE of the GREAT WAR

The Tower of London’s installation of 888,246 ceramic poppies was one of the surprise attractions of 2014. Some five million people came to see the flowers, and to attend evening readings of the names of the war dead. Close to two hundred Clare men died in the Great War, and their names were read out on 3 November. The stories of many of these Clare men are remarkable and, as an illustration, Eric Goodhart’s is particularly eye-catching. Goodhart was one of several thousand men to apply to be a dispatch rider, which offered good pay and, of course, one’s own motorbike. After a week’s training (in Chatham and then Aldershot), Goodhart was sent to France with his motorbike and an extensive (and presumably very heavy) collection of spare parts. The army was dependent on reliable dispatch riders to take messages (and messenger pigeons) between headquarters and the front line. This was more easily said than done as riders sought to navigate the changing lines of the front, and often found themselves out of position. The Germans stopped and questioned Goodhart several times. Each time he explained, in fluent German, that he was a secret agent and that he was wearing a British uniform as a disguise. This seems to have been quite a successful strategy: Goodhart’s worst injury was a cut thumb received when his division headquarters was shelled. If Goodhart was brave, he was also lucky. During the British retreat from Mons in August 1914, Goodhart worked for five nights without rest and eventually passed out from exhaustion while out in the field. He rolled off his motorbike into a ditch and woke to discover himself overtaken by the advancing Germans. Playing dead, the Germans left him – and Goodhart used the back roads to

49 find the allied forces. This good fortune did not last, however. Towards the end of November 1914 Goodhart contracted typhoid probably as a result of the dirty conditions in the trenches. He came down with a fever three days into his leave in England and died three weeks later. He was twenty-one. As well as Clare’s men, the College itself made a significant contribution to the war. The First Eastern General Hospital was built on the former cricket grounds of Clare and King’s (now the site of the University Library) with pre-fabricated huts housing 1,700 beds. It cared for tens of thousands of wounded during the war and its immediate aftermath. And, staffed by both civilian and military doctors (many with a connection to the University), the hospital pioneered a number of innovative treatments. Some of these sound more attractive than others: open air wards during the snow blizzards of 1916 were not a universal success. Clare’s Memorial Court was built in front of the site of the hospital, and the Court and the Chapel have memorials listing the Clare men who died as a result of the war. The stories of these men will be researched and published on Clare’s website. The College’s War List contains a bare outline of their service, but many more sources provide a rich record. Eric Goodhart’s story was rediscovered thanks to census returns, school records, newspaper articles and the many websites that now support this type of research, including the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Goodhart was one of eight Clare men to die in 1914 and to have been researched and remembered in 2014. Emma Easterbrook (College Secretary)

50 Reaching Skywards

Berryman, your nod towards the stars engaged me forty years ago, for all the firmament above is never ours except as backcloth. Did that fall from Washington Avenue Bridge take place under stars? Halfway to Heaven, then plummeting to Hell. By day, we face the sun, to live, to hope, to burn.

The climber killed may get acclaimed as master of the starry ways, his sun set while it was still day. The soldier maimed will meet new challenges. And yet such guidance from the stars is pure conceit, with them indifferent. Life is at our feet.

by Simon Currie (1956)

Editor’s note: John Berryman, American poet, came to Clare as Kellett Fellow in 1934, and fell from the bridge in 1972.

Geoffrey Winthrop Young, another poet, lost a leg in World War I, yet was dedicated to climbing mountains.

51 CLARE COLLEGE CHOIR in VENICE or, Our part in the ending of the Cold War by John Rutter I can’t honestly remember who thought of the idea, John Hall or I. He was the urbane and worldly founder-director of a very successful pre-university course in Venice, focussing mainly on the arts, which runs under his guidance to this day. We were sitting over dinner in Severino’s, his favourite Venetian eating-place and after-hours hangout, with the talk flowing as freely as the vino tipico. The year was 1977, and I was the young, eager but woefully inexperienced Director of Music at Clare College; John had impulsively invited me to lecture at his pre-university course. My lectures, to which I had grandly given the ridiculously all- encompassing title Music: Past, Present, Future were, as I recall, a half-baked lasagne of nebulous ideas on the nature of musical language and communication – probably soon forgotten by their polite audience of students scarcely younger than I was, and certainly best forgotten. But as John and I talked, an idea was born: how about bringing Clare Chapel Choir to Venice, to sing Venetian music in the very buildings for which it was written? Nothing might have come of it if several lucky stars had not been shining that night. First, I should freely admit that I had fallen in love with Venice – the most worthwhile fruit of my lecture visit – though this had happened for perhaps unusual reasons. As a musician, my first reaction on entering a church or other historic building is generally not to marvel at the art and architecture but to assess its potential as a venue for music-making. I clap my hands and sing arpeggios to evaluate the acoustics, pace up and down to measure the available performing space, count the audience seats, make a mental note of the state of the heating and lighting . . . and try to make contact with the ghosts. Who made music here in the past? What sort of music? How might it have sounded? What sort of music would sound best here now?

52 My generously light lecture schedule had left me ample time for this reconnaissance work, and it was obvious that Venice was filled with wonderful venues crying out for music, many of them often silent except for the chatter of tourists. In the Renaissance and Baroque era great musicians lived and worked in Venice – the Gabrielis, Monteverdi, Cavalli, Vivaldi – and fine music was regularly heard in basilica, church, palazzo and scuola. It came as a shock to me, looking around the choir gallery in San Marco where once Monteverdi had stood, to find that the only sign of music- making was an electric guitar left in the corner, a chord chart on its music stand. So far, so lucky: I was already fired with a grandiose mission to fill Venice once more with choral singing, repatriating its musical heritage. It also so happened that in Cambridge a momentous change had recently come about: three brave men’s colleges, mine among them, had started to admit women in 1972, and this had transformed the singing of chapel choirs such as ours at Clare. Boy sopranos recruited locally had long gone – unlike King’s and St John’s we had no choir school to provide boy sopranos – and until the coming of women, Clare Choir was a male-voice group, a pale echo of the Red Army or the miners of Merthyr Tydfil. But now we had women, feisty and up for the challenge of proving their superiority to boy sopranos on an international stage – a mixed chapel choir, after almost 650 years in Clare without one. Ever practical and diplomatic, John Hall began to pave the way for a visit, opening doors to us. If we were to sing in both sacred and secular venues – not only San Marco and other glorious churches but the Scuola di San Rocco and the Conservatory – it would need the co-operation of the Comune di Venezia, the city council, which was Communist, and the Catholic Church, which was, well, Catholic. I am told that in one of Venice’s most select restaurants the head of the Comune and his Catholic opposite number were seen discreetly dining together, finding (according to John’s later account) common ground in their wish to celebrate

53 Vivaldi’s 300th anniversary in 1978 but embarrassed to have no plans in place. What better – and more politically uncontentious – than to bring in a group from somewhere else with a ready-made programme of musical events celebrating Vivaldi and other renowned Venetian composers? Now that Eurocommunism is a spent force, such harmonious collaboration seems unremarkable, but in the Venice of the 1970s it was, apparently, unprecedented. We were to be allowed to perform anywhere we liked. Both the Communists and the Catholics probably appreciated another point in our favour: we came cheap – unpaid, in fact. But, counting our little orchestra and some extra Cambridge voices recruited to bump up numbers, we had just over fifty mouths to feed during what turned out to be an eight-day visit, and I can still smell the welcome aroma of minestrone and home-made pasta kindly provided after each day’s music-making, courtesy of the Comune, at a pleasant restaurant near La Fenice, after which we took our night’s rest in accommodation similarly provided by the Comune. Who would pay our airfares, though? As impoverished students we could not necessarily pay our own way, so I boldly wrote to the British Council for help. Despite the insufferably wheedling and presumptuous tone of my letter (I have kept a copy), amazingly I received a courteous and positive reply from the British Council music adviser based in Rome, a wonderfully kind, widely cultured man named Jack Buckley. In due course we met in London, and over dinner he delicately suggested to me a quid pro quo: it might be appropriate if we included a proportion of English music in our concerts and church services. No hardship as far as I was concerned: some Tallis, Purcell and Stanford in exchange for our charter flights. I would have been willing to throw in recitations of Shakespeare, Dickens and Wodehouse in the Piazza San Marco. We were able to time our visit to coincide with Holy Week and Easter, which opened up rich opportunities to contribute to the liturgy of Good Friday and Easter Sunday. On Good Friday we sang at the traditional three-hour Veneration of the Cross in the

54 lovely little church of San Niccolo dei Mendicoli, then being restored by the Venice in Peril organisation. The aged priest was visibly moved as we, an Anglican choir, sang the appropriate Gregorian chants and polyphonic Good Friday music he had last heard, so he told me afterwards as we sat in the vestry, more than fifty years ago at his Catholic seminary. He opened the church safe and took out an outsize bottle of red wine, wagging a finger as he reminded me that this was the most solemn day of the church’s year. I nodded. But, he went on, in two days Christ would rise again and we should be joyful. He poured two huge glasses of the wine, toasted Clare Choir and we drank. On Easter Sunday morning it was High Mass at Palladio’s imposing marble Church of the Redentore on the Giudecca, similar in design and scale to Palestrina’s Lateran church in Rome, and as we sang his Missa Papae Marcelli, the soaring polyphony with its high tenor parts made sense to me in a quite new way: marble reflects the tenor voice better than the stone of an English cathedral, a reminder that music generally works best if performed in its intended setting. One more Easter church service remained: Anglican Evensong at the English Church, where we treated the expatriate Brits to a nostalgic warm bath of Stanford canticles and Sir William Harris’s Faire is the heaven (to words by Spenser). The congregation perhaps shed a tear for the old country, but they didn’t seem in any hurry to return there. Eurocommunism had its drawbacks, no doubt, but Jim Callaghan’s Labour government, with pre-Lawson rates of income tax, inflation at over 20% and the Winter of Discontent shortly to come, probably seemed even less tempting. The church services were only a part of our busy week’s music- making. We also gave four concerts, two in the Scuola di San Rocco, one in the Ospedaletto, our final one in San Marco, where, exceptionally, we were allowed an evening rehearsal with a free run of all the various galleries so we could experiment to find the optimum layout for all the antiphonal music so strongly associated

55 with the building. Fashionable Venice turned out in force for us at every event. The left-leaning Comune officials, including the noted avant-garde composer Luigi Nono – surrounded by well-built minders in dark glasses – seemed more in evidence at the Scuola concerts, Catholic dignitaries were to the fore at the church concerts, but both were definitely present, with Jack Buckley, representing the British Council, loyally supporting us in the front row throughout. The music we performed ran the gamut of Venetian repertoire: Gabrieli motets in San Marco, Monteverdi (lots of him), Vivaldi concertos and the inevitable Gloria, twiddly organ pieces by lesser lights of the early Baroque, and, as our finale in the San Marco concert, the Messa Concertata by Cavalli, Monteverdi’s successor as maestro di cappella at San Marco. In deference to the British Council we also sang plenty of English music in one concert or another, including Tallis’s great 40-part motet, first indoors in the Scuola di San Rocco and the next day in the Piazza San Marco to a probably bewildered audience of tourists. Don’t try this, by the way, it doesn’t really work outdoors. The San Marco concert was graced by the presence in the front row of the Patriarch of Venice, soon to become Pope John Paul I. At the end of the concert he embraced me warmly, called me ‘caro maestro’, and when he was elected Pope in September of that year, I was ready to brag to the world about how I had been embraced by the Pope . . . until, thirty-three days later, he died in mysterious circumstances. Conspiracy theorists were quick to blame the dark forces believed by some to be endemic in Italian religious and political institutions, but I prefer to remember another facet of Italy: its ability to lay such things aside and extend a familial welcome to, in our case, an innocent group of student musicians who, by the end of their visit, all truly loved the music, the culture and the people of Italy and would always hold a special place in their hearts for Venice.

57 There was a charming postscript to our visit. Shortly after our return to Cambridge, Robin Matthews, Master of Clare, received a letter from Ray Jacques, British Consul in Venice, which I quote in full: Dear Master, I feel I must write and let you know what a great success the visit of the Clare College choir to Venice has been. Not only were they a very hardworking group who set a high musical standard but they comported themselves in a manner that did credit to Britain, to Clare and to themselves. They gave us some lovely concerts, they made the English Church bloom as it can never have bloomed before and they looked good, with their combination of youth and competence. I was very proud of them, and their visit has undoubtedly been a tour de force. For all this we have many to thank, and to you and all at Clare who made the visit possible I extend the warm appreciation of all of us here in Venice. I would also like to add a particular word of gratitude for the tremendous part that John Rutter played, both in structuring the visit and in holding it all together with so much charm, tact and efficiency.

Yours sincerely,

R. J. Jacques H M Consul

Lovely to recall that, in the world of Her Majesty’s diplomatic service, people in 1978 still ‘comported’ themselves. Clare Choir has made many visits to different countries since then, but I believe this may have been the first major one, and I look back on it fondly as a milestone in the history of music at Clare.

58 REMINISCENCES of NICHOLAS HAMMOND

On entering Clare in 1945 I confess to being awestruck on learning that my combined tutor and supervisor was to be Major Nick Hammond DSO. Hammond, a British agent in Greece, had just returned from his wartime mission. While Hammond was reluctant to talk about his adventures unless pressed, press him I did, with youthful eagerness. Being a Classics scholar, he had acquired as a result of his holidays the ability to speak demotic Greek. Dropped at night by parachute Hammond was quickly in contact with partisans, where his job was to ferry in arms to aid the struggle against the Nazis. The trouble was that left and right wing partisans spent much of their time taking pot shots at each other. Hammond tried to act as a conciliatory go-between. I wondered how much that experience bore on the ultimate character of such a kind and modest man who liked helping others. I can remember little about the Greek he taught me. Instead my lingering memory is of tea with him and his charming wife at Merton Cottage, evoking comparison with Godfrey at his Cottage in Dad’s Army: ‘This is what we are fighting for’. Hammond was uniquely generous in supporting others in their vocational matters. Switching from Classics to read Psychology was no problem. There was backing for my interest in Ergonomics, just as there was also for a former Classicist, Brian Schackel, who later became the first Professor of Ergonomics at Loughborough. For me, Part 2 Psychology taken in one year led to a job offer in the attached Nuffield Research Unit into Problems in Ageing. There my job was to investigate what happened to workers in industry as they aged. It seemed anomalous to executives that a young man from Cambridge was studying the grey-haired. That experience led on to the selection of executives and eventually, with my wife (Eunice an anthropologist), setting up the Industrial Training Research Unit in Cambridge funded by the

59 Manpower Services Commission. The research included a nine- year research project studying management teams at Henley. When Margaret Thatcher, the new Prime Minister, favoured ‘market forces’, the ITRU closed down. In its place Belbin Associates (now a global company) sprang up with a focus on team work and the discovery of team roles. The general message was that teams are the more effective when its members take on roles that personally suit them (see www.belbin.com). Hammond made vocational development part of the job of being a tutor. In terms of team roles Hammond had proved the model of a Co-ordinator. My experience at Clare highlights the value of a broad education, and one which, for me, would have been less broad without Nick Hammond’s encouragement and prompting. My lasting memory is of him, as positive as ever, hailing me in the street shortly before his death. Meredith Belbin (1945)

MY ERIC LANE FELLOWSHIP by Tehmina Kazi

Recently, I read an interview with Harriet Green, one of the few women to have run a FTSE 100 company, describing her working style in such terms as “…you have to pack a lot in and make the most of every day.” This was my guiding motto throughout my Eric Lane Fellowship at Clare, from mid-January to mid-March 2014. During the first two days of the fellowship, I had completed a 1,468-word article on the criminalisation of forced marriage for Open Democracy. This was a 60 rejoinder to Amrit Wilson’s astonishing implication – in the same publication – that criminalisation would drive the practice underground (it already was!). My piece was cited by the LSE Politics and Policy blog, and tweeted approvingly by respected professionals in the area, such as Jasvinder Sanghera, founder of the forced marriage charity Karma Nirvana, and Professor Ted Cantle, an expert on multiculturalism and community cohesion. (Incidentally, Professor Cantle and I, with two parliamentarians, had just finished judging the Accord Coalition’s Inclusive Schools Award 2014; many people use fellowships as time away from their regular activities, but I couldn’t afford to let these slip). I also spent time volunteering at Rumi’s Kitchen back in London, which provided the impetus for my second article during the Fellowship. This was a 621-word puff piece for a marvellous Muslim-led initiative that served three-course meals – with proper cutlery and old-fashioned service, no less – to homeless people from all backgrounds. The article was published in Fifteen 21, a popular Muslim youth magazine, in February 2014. My third written piece was the real kicker: a 5,000-word essay on Muslim women who marry non-Muslim men, and the potential backlash they face from their own communities. This tied in nicely with my role as Executive Producer of the “Hidden Heart” documentary, which explores these very themes. I submitted the piece to the Muslim Institute’s journal Critical Muslim, and its Editor Ziauddin Sardar has given me helpful feedback on it, towards publication in a future edition. My fourth and final written piece was creative writing, seen as the opening chapters to a novel, or a stand-alone short story. The Tulip Asylum is literary fiction about a gay asylum seeker from Iran, and touches on mental health, detention and the factors that propel individuals to become activists. I am trying to get it published, and have had strong feedback from Granta who “enjoyed reading it,” and Right Now, a human rights magazine in Australia, who said the “imagery was crisp, the voice was unique and strong,” and I had chosen “a great topic.” 61 On top of the writing, I was fortunate enough to participate in many events at Clare, and in the University of Cambridge as a whole. Clare Fellows gave me highly positive feedback for a talk I gave in January 2014 on the work of British Muslims for Secular Democracy (BMSD) , and I was interviewed in a video for the “What I See” women’s identity project at Lucy Cavendish College. I also gave a presentation for the Centre for Islamic Studies “Visiting Scholars Day” alongside international researchers. This is where I got a chance to play the trailer for the “Hidden Heart” film (which I also used when giving a similar presentation at the Clareity Symposium in March 2014). I then took part in a Scriptural Reasoning session at Clare (a first for me), visited Tim Winter at the Cambridge Muslim College and attended two university-wide events for Islam Awareness Week (it was great to hear Julie Siddiqui, then Chief Executive of the Islamic Society of Britain and an associate in my day job, speaking at one of them). Another associate of mine, Mohammed Amin (1969), was deservedly lauded for his work in bringing communities together at Clare. It was fortuitous that he happened to be named Alumnus of the Year during the same year as my Eric Lane Fellowship. At the Halfway Hall Dinner we were given special mentions by the Master and applauded by all attendees for our work in promoting liberal values and combating extremism and sectarianism. I am grateful to all the Fellows for making my experience so rich, varied and fruitful. As a result of the connections I made at Clare, former Dean Nicholas Sagovsky asked me to write a 5,000- word chapter for a forthcoming book on the Common Good, from my perspective as the Director of BMSD. This has been completed, and will be published in early 2015!

62 THE MASTER’S MESSAGE January 2015

I spent a good deal of my first term meeting people - Fellows, staff and students - and attending Clare and University meetings. There were also events, concerts and meetings with alumni in London and Cambridge. I'm afraid I don't recall all the names - I apologise for that and I'm working on it! My wife, Jane, and I have been made very welcome by the Clare community and we much appreciate the obvious warmth and support we have received. I'm particularly grateful to Sophie King, my PA, Paul Warren, the Bursar, and the strong team of College Officers for their advice and sound guidance from day one. My experience confirms the reputation Clare has both within and outside Cambridge that it is a most excellent place in every way: collegial, inclusive and modern in outlook. During the past term Jane and I hosted the first of what will be a series of student drinks receptions in the Master’s Lodge. It is a great pleasure for us to start getting to know the undergraduate and graduate students and to follow their progress and share their enthusiasms through their time at Clare. It has also been a pleasure to meet all the College’s staff on my weekly visits to the various departments and to gain a more thorough understanding of the vital work that underpins the smooth functioning of the College. Notable events of the term included numerous top class performances of the Clare Choir conducted by Graham Ross. The Choir received rave reviews for its recent performances both in the Netherlands and in the USA, including one very special sold-out concert in The Library of Congress in Washington DC: praise indeed.

63 Additionally, in early December the College hosted the Clare Distinguished Lecture in Economics and Public Policy. We were delighted to welcome as keynote speaker Professor Raghuram Rajan who, since 2013, has been the Governor of the Reserve Bank of India. This event was extremely well attended and it was most interesting to hear Prof Rajan’s views on the world economy. With some sadness we said goodbye to our Dean, Greg Seach who served the College with distinction for seven years. His scholarship and pastoral support for students was of the highest quality. He has returned to his native Australia to take up the post of Warden of Wollaston Theological College in Perth, Western Australia. We wish Greg well and every success in his new position. Towards the end of term I also had the pleasure of meeting Greg's mum, Rita. She spent some time in Cambridge, no doubt in an endeavour to ensure that Greg really would return to Australia and not change his mind at the last minute! I'm delighted to record that we had an impressive list of candidates for Greg's replacement and the clear winner of that competition was The Rev’d Dr Jamie Hawkey who is currently Minor Canon and Precentor of Westminster Abbey. Jamie will not be able to join us until September on the expiration of his existing contract at the Abbey but we have been most fortunate to secure the services of The Very Rev’d Peter Judd as our Acting Dean until then. Peter was previously Chaplain at Clare. Looking to the future, as a College we are faced with a number of challenges. Essentially they all come down to money. We need to refurbish Old Court. This will have to be done in an imaginative way respecting its history, beauty and architecture whilst, at the same time, making it suitable for the next 50-100 years as a world class place for learning. Similarly we need to spend money improving the quality of student accommodation, including at St Regis and The Colony. We need financial support for improved undergraduate access and needs-blind funding as well as

64 postgraduate financial support (this is particularly difficult to secure in the arts and humanities). In short, we need to raise a lot of money. In the current financial climate that is a tall order but we do have a strong Development Office led by Fran Malarée, and alumni and other supporters who, hopefully, will do their best for us in all these important endeavours. Over the coming months we will, of course, keep College members updated with news, in particular on plans for the Old Court refurbishment. Jane and I are looking forward to a fun second term. Cambridge is definitely several degrees colder than London but I'm pleased to record that the heating and water systems in the Lodge are working!

An Editorial note on the Installation of The Master:- A special service in Chapel took place on the second of October 2014, commencing with a processional entry and ringing of Lady Elizabeth’s Bell. The procession was headed by the Vice- Chancellor and Lord Grabiner, followed by Professor Robertson (President of the Fellowship), Dr Foster (the Senior Official Fellow) and the Dean. Dr Foster presented Lord Grabiner to the Vice-Chancellor. At a table bearing the book of Elections, Lord Grabiner made his promises as specified by Statute, and signed the book. The Vice-Chancellor then pronounced the admission to be in accordance with Clare’s Statutes, and he signed the book. This action is displayed in Illus 8, page 67. Dr Foster then led The Master to his stall. Prof. Robertson welcomed The Master, who responded. In an elegant conclusion, Kol Nidrei (Max Bruch) was played {Joel Sandelson (2013) ‘cello; Patrick Milne (2011) piano}, and the Dean gave a Blessing.

Illus 8 The Master is admitted as the Vice Chancellor confirms this 67 Annual Report of the Alumni Council for 2013-14

The Clare Alumni Association was reconstituted and the Alumni Council formed in 2004-05 and has since held annual meetings. In accordance with the constitution, this is the Council’s tenth annual report to members of the College. Until 2013 the Council held its meetings in December, but since last year has chosen to meet on a Saturday towards the end of September. This has proved to have a number of advantages. Being at a weekend, there has been the opportunity to meet in informal discussion groups prior to the Council meeting itself. The Council met on Saturday, 20 September 2014 and this report covers the academical year 2013- 14. This new arrangement is now well established. Firstly, a number of presentations and discussion groups are held during the afternoon, enabling Council members to learn more about the College’s current status and to discuss this and form opinions which are of immense value to the College. This year, presentations were given on the current state of the College and its plans for the future. Deborah Hoy, Clare’s recently appointed Buildings Manager, gave a comprehensive review of the College’s estate, plans for major repairs at the Colony and the major refurbishment of the graduate housing in Newnham Road. The latter work has been well planned so that the facade in Newnham Road itself has still been little changed. Rebecca Blaylock and Stephanie Baughen, the College’s two Schools Liaison Coordinators described their work in visiting schools and arranging visits from school parties. This was followed by a presentation on the College’s development performance in the context of fundraising in Collegiate Cambridge, given by Samuel Venn, Deputy Development Director. The Council divided into working groups to discuss and make suggestions on a number of topics, including the Annual Fund; Legacies; experience with the more-widely appealing Gala Day

68 held in June, which replaced the rather more formal Alumnus Day of previous years; engagement with alumni following graduation; and a review of the Year Group Representation scheme and of the Alumnus of the Year award. Overall, the move of the meeting date to September has been a considerable improvement providing opportunities to more in depth discussions amongst a substantial membership and giving valuable advice to the College. The formal meeting of the Council followed, during which the result of the poll for the Alumnus of the Year in 2015 was announced by Ian Hill, who chaired the meeting in the absence of the Master, Tony Badger. The honour this year went to Natalie Roberts (1997) who had read Medical Science and is working with Médecins Sans Frontières. Finally, following a decision of the Council in 2013, at the evening dinner a painting was presented to Tony and Ruth Badger. The work had been commissioned by the Council from Philip Hughes (1954) who is noted for his abstract landscapes. The subject is a scene from the Yorkshire dales (more precisely Littondale, which is between Arncliffe and Wharfedale), to which area Tony and Ruth have retired.

THE LADY CLARE FUND

Council of the Lady Clare Fund Chairman: The Master College Members: Dr. Ken Riley, Prof Tim Smiley (from Dec 2014 Dr.Rachael Harris), Mr.Colin Turpin, Prof Alison Sinclair Members elected to represent the Association: Dr. Gordon Wright, Dr. Michael Bown, Ms Caitlin Jenkins Ms. Elisabeth Marksteiner,

69 Hon. Secretary: Mr. Colin Turpin Hon. Treasurer: Dr. Michael Bown (until Dec 2014)

The Lady Clare Fund was founded in 1934 by members of the Clare Association to provide help on a strictly confidential basis to alumni of the College, or their dependants, who find themselves in financial difficulties. 'Dependants' include families of deceased members. Need may arise through old age, ill health, widowhood or natural disabilities. Help may be given to old Clare members to continue professional training where external funds are not to be had, or with expenses arising from taking up new work, perhaps following redundancy. For suitable applicants small short-term loans may be available. Our income comes from dividends and donations, and from repayment of loans made to applicants. There is no financial support from the College as such. To carry out our charitable work generously, we welcome continuing support from donations and bequests. Contributions should be sent to the Treasurer of Lady Clare Fund, at Clare College. The Fund is a registered Charity which reports annually to the Charity Commission. This year grants made totalled £9,250. No loans were needed. The widow of an elderly alumnus in money trouble was granted £3,750. A recent graduate needing help getting established in his career received £4,000. A total of £1,000 went to three recent graduates to forward their researches. A grant of £500 was made to a former Clare graduate in Kenya. This has been a better year in terms of income, and of capital value. The Fund's finances now allow us to offer somewhat more generous assistance in cases of need, consistently with the aims of the Charity. By its reports in last year's Clare Association Annual, and through the Clare News, the Fund has informed past members about

70 how to apply for financial help. Applications may be made to the Honorary Secretary, Mr C.C. Turpin, Clare College, or to the Master or one of the Tutors. Anyone who thinks that another old member, or a dependant of one, may be in need of help is asked to get in touch with one of these.

80 OBITUARIES

HUGH SHEPPARD BAYLEY, born in one time of war and called up to serve in another, has died at the age of 99 years. At his prep school in Cheshire he was awarded a Junior Scholarship to Charterhouse School in Godalming, Surrey, which he attended from 1928 to 1933. He thoroughly enjoyed his schooldays and he returned on many occasions on Old Carthusian Day including several times in his nineties, when he sang in the Charterhouse Chapel with the current school choir. He entered Clare College in 1933 with a Classics Exhibition (worth £40), but chose to read Economics and Law, graduating in 1936. (photo dated 1934 is shown) Outside his studies his passion was music and he was proud to be a tenor in the Clare College Chapel choir, which at the time comprised 5 tenors and 7 basses with 16 trebles who were boys from the city – ladies were personae non grata! In July last year he was delighted to return to Cambridge, visiting Clare College: he sat in his old place in the choir which he was amused to discover was now the seat of the Director of Music. He also had sung in the ‘Clare College Canaries’ taking part in many concerts. For the three years he was also a member of CUMS (Cambridge University Musical Society). On 22.10.1934 he was present at the inauguration of the new University Library, which was officially opened by their Majesties King George V and Queen Mary. Hugh enjoyed many sports, playing football, hockey, squash, cricket, tennis, golf and fives. He held his 21st birthday celebrations at the University Arms Hotel in May 1936. During his last year he conducted a long-distance courtship of Joan Greaves, whom he was later to marry in 1938,

81 whilst she was up at St Hugh’s College, Oxford. He was also a member of the University Council for the Unemployed: in August 1935 he attended a camp in Yorkshire, helping to provide food, labour and activities for 100 unemployed persons. During World War II Hugh was called up in September 1940, joining the Royal Corps of Signals to undergo two years training around the country. He was mobilised in October 1942, travelling by boat via Brazil, Cape Horn and the Suez Canal to North Africa. As a Captain with the 8th Army he served most of his time in Libya and Palestine. A key early role involved providing the communications at the Mena Hotel near the Pyramids for the Cairo Conference in November 1943 between Winston Churchill, President F D Roosevelt and General Chiang Kai-Shek of China. He was demobilised in July 1946 returning home to his wife Joan in Manchester, meeting for the first time his three-year-old daughter Clare. In the novelty of peacetime, Hugh was articled to a firm of Chartered Accountants in Manchester, but his studies had been interrupted by the war. He resumed these, qualifying as a Chartered Accountant in 1948, before moving south with his young family in February 1949 to Surrey, spending a number of years with Price Waterhouse in London. He retired from the profession aged 68 in 1983 and spent three years from 1984 to 1987 as Bursar of St Christopher’s School, Epsom, during which time he compiled and published a history of the school. He was active in several areas during his leisure time. He was a member of two local choral groups for many years into his nineties, these being St George’s Singers and Ashtead Choral Society, the latter of which he was, for a number of years, both Treasurer and Archivist. He assisted in fundraising for the Samaritans when Joan was on the Fundraising Committee from 1975 to 1994. He was Membership Secretary for the Epsom Branch of the RSPCA from 1984 to 1992, again raising substantial funds during that time on

82 their behalf. He was also Honorary Auditor of the Leatherhead and District Arts Council from 1971 to 1977 and of Ashtead Players from 1971 to 1976. With his compassion for animals and concern for the abused and underprivileged of the world, he donated annually to some 50 different charities until his death on 7th September 2014. Until the end of his life Hugh continued to enjoy music by attending concerts, listening to CDs and playing the piano by ear. He occupied himself as a busy correspondent and by studying his many family records. He had an enquiring mind, read widely and was still able to quote various Latin and Greek texts. He died suddenly aged 99 years and 113 days. He leaves four daughters, eight grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren.

WILLIAM ANDREW BROCK, from six months old, was known as Duncan to friends, family and work colleagues alike. He grew up in Blackburn. His mother, Mary, was a strong, independent woman, affectionately described in Duncan’s eulogy ‘as a bit strong on discipline’. His father, Bill, was a Scottish GP full of warmth and charm. Duncan inherited both traits; a rare combination. The acute discipline and rigour served him well at Clare College and in going on to become a lawyer of formidable reputation. A warm, generous charm won him both respect and fondness throughout his life. He went north to be educated at Glenalmond, showing his Scottish roots, and it was here that Duncan’s academic prowess came to the fore. He sat his O and A levels two years early and was accepted to study Classics at Clare. However, Duncan decided to join the Royal Artillery for his National Service, before university. Despite his young age and not yet having a degree, he was commissioned and promoted to Captain. He was on call for the Suez conflict, but the war was over before he got a chance to go there.

83 Duncan took up his place at Clare College in 1957, read Classics for two years and added his final year in Law. After university, he went on to complete his Law Society Qualification, and in 1961 he became an Articled Clerk with Cobbetts in Manchester. At the time Cobbetts was a small partnership, but this gave Duncan an opportunity to be instrumental in its growth. He was made a Partner in 1966 and remained with the firm until his retirement, seeing it grow to become a multi-partner Intercity Partnership. Loyalty was one of Duncan’s distinguishing characteristics. As a lawyer, Duncan specialised in commercial property work and gained a formidable reputation. An entry in the UK Law Guide under Cobbetts noted that ‘Mr Brock was particularly good’. True to his magnanimous character, this was something Duncan never mentioned, but was well expressed by a former Partner and colleague at Cobbets: ‘Duncan had an astonishing capacity for calmly handling an enormous workload, which reflected his tremendous ability as a lawyer. Apart from his great ability, Duncan was always one of the kindest and most helpful lawyers that any client or partner could ever wish to have. He was always patient, attentive and willing to help others. In summary, Duncan was a pleasure to work with and to learn from; he was the best partner one could have in a law firm….. He retired as an outstanding lawyer’. Duncan excelled also as a husband and father. In 1967 he married Judith Preston-Turner at St Mary's Church, Buxton on 18th March. They had three daughters, Emma, Lisa and Sarah, and all three have gone on to have successful careers, rewarding the strength and independence that Duncan and Judy instilled in them.

84 Duncan was a devoted grandfather to his four grandchildren Josh, Daisy, Jemima and Tilly. Known as Papa, Duncan built sand castles, took his grandchildren on bike rides and made bonfires, showing the same dedication to being a wonderful grandparent as he did to his entire life. On the day that Duncan died, he was on his way to play golf with friends. He still finished the Telegraph crossword everyday. He played Bridge every week. He was Chairman of Henbury Parish Council. And he still gained great reward from creating a beautiful garden. His was a good life, enjoyed by a good man.

JOSEPH HENRY BOON CANTLEY died peacefully at home on 17th December 2013, in his 85th year, with his dearly loved wife, Janet, at his side. Joe greatly enjoyed his school years at Manchester Grammar School, where he attended from 1940-1947 as a Foundation Scholar. He entered on the Classical side, moving up over the years from 1 Alpha to Mathematical Sixth. He was Head Prefect, and a straight-A student, winning a Mathematics Exhibition to Clare College, Cambridge. He came to Clare in 1947 and read Mechanical Sciences for two years, with a final year in Law gaining him a BA Hons. He played rugby for Manchester Grammar School, and his height, reach and strength also made him an excellent oarsman for Clare College. When called up for his National Service with the RAF, he won the sword of honour, as the outstanding cadet of his year. He also served in the Royal Engineers Postal and Courier Service section of the Territorial Army and was called up for the Suez campaign in 1956. He became an Honorary Major in the 1960s and then an Honorary Colonel in the 1970s, whilst pursuing his career in the

85 Post Office and progressing to become the Director of the Eastern Region of the Post Office, based in Colchester. In his retirement, he pursued his educational interests further, notably in relation to French, sailing, carpentry and computing, whilst enjoying many happy years with his wife Janet, before his health deteriorated latterly. At his funeral in Colchester, the service began and ended with the music of ‘I vow to thee my country’. He was a distinguished gentleman who served his country exceptionally well.

MAURICE ANTHONY (TONY) CHALTON, sadly, died on 31.3.2013. He was educated at Sedbergh School and came to Clare in 1961 to read Modern & Medieval Languages (French and German). While at Clare he joined in many activities and had a wide circle of friends. He was particularly interested in folk music and often performed. Cricket, too, was a life-long passion. After graduating, Tony led a varied professional life, mainly in London and Bristol. He was for a time a primary school teacher in Bristol. Sadly, though, for all his adult life Tony was a victim of severe mental depression. He moved to Exeter, where his illness eventually ruled out full-time employment. Despite this, until the last two years or so of his life he was always good company, with a ready wit, a good sense of humour and an amusing tale to tell. Even when severely incapacitated by Parkinson's Disease he still managed a song or a comic turn at local venues. Tony is deeply missed by all who knew him, admired his courage and enjoyed his company.

WILLIS PETER COOPER hailed from Esher and attended prep school briefly but, at the outbreak of World War II, his Canadian father arranged for his mother and sisters to move to Canada where Peter attended Upper Canada College. On his return he was sent to Stowe School, which he enjoyed so much that he was followed by

86 his two sons and later by a granddaughter and his nephew's son. Golf was to play a great part in is life, and the nine-hole course at Stowe was significant for Peter. After National Service with the Royal Engineers, partly in Gibraltar (where there was no room for golf!), he went up to Clare College to read Engineering, a task that became more demanding by his decision to further his golfing ambitions, which consumed half of his time. However, he quickly gained a place in the Cambridge side to play Oxford at Royal St George's in March 1957, and was elected Secretary and then Captain in his final year, thereby becoming the fifth Captain from Clare in eight years. Clare's golfing traditions can be gauged by the fact that only Trinity and Pembroke have produced more Golf Blues. He left Cambridge with an honourable Engineering degree and as a proud member of the Hawks Club, whose annual dinner at London's Savoy Hotel he would never willingly miss. After Cambridge, Peter engaged in Engineering, joining Taylor Woodrow and working in Suffolk. During this time Peter and Sally lived in Aldeburgh. Later they settled back in Surrey, near Weybridge, as Peter gained a new appointment to work for Phillips Petroleum (PP) London as well as membership of nearby Woking Golf Club (where he was Captain 1981-82). At this time they had a son, followed by a daughter and a second son. At PP he became an expert in the construction of ‘jackets’ (the legs of an oil rig). The building of the Ecofisk platform was one of his primary responsibilities. In March 1980 the Alexander L Keilland, a ‘Flotel’ platform connected to the Ecofisk platform capsized; Peter had been responsible for contracting a large number of those on board. He rushed out to manage the disaster and

87 recovery; there were 123 fatalities and only 89 survivors. He took responsibility for contacting many of the next of kin. Peter and Sally began regular holidays with their young family in Norfolk and he became a member of the Royal West Norfolk Golf Club. It was a huge honour that he became Captain of RWNGC for the year after P.B. ‘Laddie’ Lucas CBE, DSO and Bar, DFC, who had had a very distinguished career in the RAF during WWII and had also been at Stowe and Cambridge. Peter gave an enormous amount of his time, whilst on the committee, to the process of trying to find the best way to protect the course from the weather and tide. In 1992-94 he was Captain of the Oxford and Cambridge Golfing Society. He also joined and was an active member of the Seniors Golfing Society. In 1994, Peter retired and he and Sally moved from Surrey to Burnham Market, Norfolk where they renovated some derelict barns, a project they both enjoyed enormously. They became keen members of NADFAS and, when not playing golf, Peter became a very enthusiastic bird watcher. Later he became involved with The Hawk and Owl Trust project at Sculthorpe Moor where he used his engineering background to help with their infrastructure projects. Peter and Sally’s family were always welcome at The Barns and his seven grandchildren, of whom Sally and he were so fond, have all grown up knowing The Barns as their Norfolk home. Sally's illness and sudden death in June 2006 left Peter utterly devastated but, happily, he later met Adrienne Piercy on a holiday organised by friends. Adrienne had recently been widowed; their relationship blossomed and they married in December 2011, in East Rudham. Peter sold The Barns to his daughter and son-in-law and bought a house in East Rudham, Norfolk. He lived there happily with Adrienne until September 2014, when sadly he suffered a fatal heart attack whilst on holiday in Positano, Italy.

88 JOHN MAX CROPPER, described as ‘a man of many gifts and erratic charm’, died in Bexhill in April 2014. A life-long friend of his, Sir Nicholas Barrington (Hon. Fellow) gave a full and fascinating biography of Max at his funeral, here given in part. Even as early as in his Lancashire prep school, he showed a great talent for sports, especially cricket. At Repton, Max showed immediate promise and was soon captain of school hockey, a member of the soccer team, and was quite outstanding at cricket. He was in the school cricket team for four years, ending as captain. He scored over 400 runs in his last two years, including two centuries in his final year. Like many others approaching university, Max opted to offer his National Service in advance, rather than after graduating. He served in the Lancashire Fusiliers, with a peacekeeping duty in Trieste. As a young officer, he distinguished himself at boxing, and on one occasion knocked out a large corporal who had a tough reputation. In 1954, both he and Nicholas came to Clare, and Max read English and apparently concentrated on intellectual and social pursuits, rather than a lot of sport. He made a wide variety of friends, and did not fail to include the women’s three colleges. At a recent Reunion Dinner, some present recalled his pivotal role in the May Ball Committee, Max having found them an excellent cabaret. After getting his BA in English, Max went into advertising and was a successful, creative copywriter, for a time holding responsible posts in Geneva and Milan, as well as London. The jobs led him to his first wife, Noël, daughter of an English mother and an ambassador in the Pakistani Foreign Service, a Christian in that principally Muslim country. Max and Noël had a daughter, Sacha, beautiful like her mother. About this time, sadly, Max began to show signs of the mental instability, which would increasingly take over his life. The

89 difficulties at his home must have played a part; his father committed suicide shortly after Max left school, and Max was the one to find the body. Max’s mother showed signs of depression, and had to spend some periods in asylums. The former nanny to Max and his sister Anna seemed to be the main support to the family home. The biography becomes more tangled as Noël left Max, and a second marriage, to Maureen, although producing a lovely daughter, Emma, also turned sour. Max was increasingly unpredictable, and could not hold an organised job. However, he had always been good with children and students, so he started work in teaching, and displayed a gift for it. A friend called Juliet encouraged this, and made sure that Max kept up his medication regime. This calm period ended about 1994, when Max successfully guided a boy through difficult examinations, and fell in love with the boy’s mother, Anthea. Max’s third wedding seemed a happy occasion, but the marriage only lasted a few years. In spite of such a sad conclusion, Max retained many friends, who were glad to have known him. He continued to keep in touch with former friends, writing excellent letters, with occasional flashes of humour. On his last card to Sir Nicholas, he expressed that he had enjoyed his long life, writing “What a rewarding, if bizarre, experience it has been, to have shared the opportunity of enjoying the myriad wonders of the universe”.

MICHAEL HENRY EGGLETON died in May after a long illness. He came to Clare in 1964 as a graduate student in Engineering, under the supervision of Sir John Baker and Jacques Heyman. His research project was entitled Shell Membrane Theory and 13th Century Gothic Vaults. We laymen thought that this implied a modern explanation being sought for the medieval question ‘why does the “flying buttress” support the cathedral walls?’.

90 Michael was collectively remembered by his friends on V staircase, and others, as their full-bearded 7.30 pm dining colleague who enjoyed his pint in the Crypt, rolling his own cigarettes and always responding in a most gentle but confident manner. He was already an expert Playford dancer, chess player and water-colour sketch artist. After graduation, Michael worked with a prominent international firm of architects in London, but suffered ‘burn-out’ in his mid-fifties. He and his wife, Ann, sold their Hampstead home and purchased Little Mill Farm, on a hillside near Monmouth, South Wales. They obtained government certification for the production of organic eggs, lamb, beef, honey, garden vegetables and poultry. The farm was the first in Gwent to be so registered. It seems fitting that Michael’s interment was in the Usk Natural Burial Cemetery. He leaves his wife and three daughters.

COLIN LACHLAN FORBES, geologist, Elizabeth de Clare Fellow and benefactor, died on 12th May 2014, aged 92. Colin was born, the youngest of the three children of Charles and Gwendolen Forbes, on 22nd November 1922 in Greenock, Scotland, where his father was serving as a navy Commander. Before Colin was eight, his father had retired and the family had moved, first to Somerset, then to Chilmark House in Wiltshire. The three children were joined in this perfect Georgian mansion by three cousins, whose father was serving in India. Chilmark was full of oriental treasures from family adventures, and also held a large variety of toys, fishing gear and weaponry. These stimulating surroundings were muted by the Victorian values of the household. Though the amassed children were loved, there were maids and governesses to help with

91 their upbringing, before they were sent to boarding school. The family income did not match the opulence of the house. They needed to be very self-reliant, fishing and shooting for the pot rather than for sport. Colin was a good shot and became skilled at making and mending things. The enthusiasm of the family for natural history meant that he keenly explored the Wiltshire landscape and geology. Colin came up to Clare in 1940 to read Natural Sciences. His first year was not a success, mainly due to a resounding failure in Chemistry. When a dejected Colin returned home ‘very thin and poor’ his father wrote, ‘I suppose we will have to look round for a tutor for the expensive brat.’ Fortunately for Colin – and for Clare and the University – this plan was overtaken by wartime events. Although initially turned down for the Army as ‘insufficiently developed’, he was later accepted by the Royal Engineers. He was posted to India as a temporary Captain in the Royal Bombay Sappers and Miners. This posting suited Colin’s practical skills better than had Chemistry, and he learned much about engineering, surveying and water supply that was to serve him well after the war. No doubt the war also nurtured his refreshing pragmatism. Arriving for Sunday lunch with his uncle Jack, an irascible ex-artillery officer, Colin was asked, ‘Shouldn't you be wearing a tie?’ Colin replied ‘I am, uncle. It's holding up my trousers.’ This is exactly the Colin we knew. Colin found himself able to return to Clare in 1947 under the favourable admissions arrangements for ex-servicemen. He wisely specialised in Geology rather than Chemistry and safely graduated two years later. In 1949 Colin joined Brian Harland’s geological Spitsbergen expedition, which involved boat and sledge work under tough physical conditions. Colin made rich collections of Carboniferous and Permian fossils, which formed the basis of a thesis for a PhD, awarded in 1953.

92 In 1952 Colin had married Jane (née Eyre), a Newnham student from a tough area of Birmingham, who had got herself to Cambridge through raw intelligence and iron will power. Colin’s unassuming appearance and demeanour – then as always – had given Jane no clue as to his genteel background, and her first visit to Chilmark House came as a considerable shock. Their son Don was born in 1954. Colin also became Assistant Curator of the Sedgwick Museum of Geology in that year, and then Curator from 1966 to his retirement in 1982. In parallel with his office as Curator, Colin took on a role as geological consultant to the Cambridge Water Company, initially as assistant to W.B.R. King, the Woodwardian Professor of Geology. All Cambridgeshire’s water comes from wells into subsurface aquifers. Colin monitored existing wells, graphed the seasonal shape of the water table, and advised on the siting of new wells. He would enhance the flow of a badly-flowing chalk well by pouring a tanker-load of acid down it. Colin enjoyed this sort of inexact science. After treatment, one well erupted a vigorous plume of rock fragments and carbon dioxide froth, blowing off the heavy manhole cover that Colin had just replaced. Colin, fortunately retreated to a safe distance, merely observed that, ‘maybe half a tanker-load would have done.’ The water-supply work required a good knowledge of local geology, a skill honed by Colin’s museum task of identifying local finds of rocks and fossils brought in by the inquisitive Cambridgeshire public. Colin became a director of Cambridge Water and then, thanks to a modest inheritance, a significant shareholder. When, in 1999, the company was bought by a Spanish utilities company, Colin was surprised to find himself wealthy beyond his modest needs. He was able to make large benefactions both to the Sedgwick Museum and to Clare, a generosity recognised by membership of the University’s Guild of Benefactors and the election to an Elizabeth de Clare Fellowship.

93 In retirement, Colin continued to live simply, particularly after Jane’s death in 2008. In a conversation about clothes, he was asked his favourite colour. Colin looked down at his pullover – the one with a hole or two – and said, ‘sort of mud colour’. If something broke, he mended it rather than buying anew, much as his parents had done. Shooting for the pot not being encouraged in suburban Cambridge, he supplied the kitchen from an expertly managed vegetable plot. He travelled by bicycle as far as possible, even into the last year of his life. He installed an ambitious rain-water storage system at his house, of which he was rightly proud. Devoutly C of E, he attended the local church, for which he made a wooden altar for the children. He kept a lively interest in local geology, helping in the Sedgwick Museum archives and joining field trips for amateur groups. His last ‘field trip’, aged 91, was onto the roof of Old Court from E staircase, checking on the deterioration in the Collyweston slates with other Clare geology Fellows (see Illus 5a, page 13). Colin valued his recently strengthened connection with Clare. He particularly enjoyed Old Court and some of its unsung geological highlights. Walking from the Porters’ Lodge and turning right towards H staircase, he would seek out a distinctive ‘rhomb porphyry’ cobble, remembered from student days, which demonstrated that local glacial deposits contained fragments from as far away as Norway. His geological colleagues recently had Colin’s initials engraved on the cobble, and it was set back in place – by the drain – in the week before he died (an image is shown). Characteristically, Colin would hear of no more salubrious site. His greater geological legacy is the clean and reliable water supply that Cambridge enjoys but takes largely for granted.

ROBIN NIGEL STUART GRUNSELL, known to friends as Rob, ‘came up’ to Clare from Clifton College, to read English Literature in 1965. After doing well in Part I of that Tripos, he decided that what he needed for his intended career was an understanding of Economics. In his final year he had a supervisor who proved to be an inspiring and exacting mentor, under whom he not only achieved another 2-i but also the Greene Cup for General Learning. After graduation, Rob went on to undertake a diploma in Social Administration at the London School of Economics, before spending a year on Voluntary Service in a rural part of northern Sudan. He returned to the UK, and became an outstanding leader and pioneer in the hectic world of progressive social change in the inner cities in the early 70s. He joined Islington Family Service Unit as a social worker, seeing the massive slum clearance in Islington. He came from a generation in which one expectation was to use and give back the skills and advantages accrued from an elite university education in the development of opportunities for the less fortunate majority. Rob set to with a forthright will and determination to make things happen. Cromartie House was an innovative project established by Rob and his wife Ange to re-involve adolescents who were not attending school, or with difficult home relationships. This was sought through dedicated individual special attention, a rebuilding of confidence and educational performance, and self- belief. Family and school liaison work was undertaken as well as an education programme designed to create urban survivors able to sustain themselves within the law. An offshoot, the Wooden Spanner project, became a very successful and long lasting way of engaging youth continually in trouble with the law, using productive motorbike maintenance. One sign of Cromartie House’s success is that some of those children, now in much later life, remained in touch with Rob, throughout his life. 95 Rob also turned his attention to building services for the wider community in Holloway, where he lived with the family. Lengthy negotiations led to the conversion of a disused Old Fire Station in Holloway into a comprehensive Youth and Community Centre. That this Holloway Neighbourhood Group notably remains one of the strongest North London community organisations is a testament to the power and determination of his original vision. The benefits of rescuing thousands of children and youth from falling into the life-wasting dangers of crime and drugs, in the very deprived Islington area of Nags Head, Holloway and Finsbury Park, have been highly significant. Robin Grunsell was brave and fearless in standing up for his beliefs, but also was able and professional in his approach to political battles in support of local communities. The change to pedestrianised streets near his home in Islington is one small example of his determination. In one traffic-heavy part of London, he was able successfully to force a reluctant authority to provide safe space for elders and children, alongside the dangers of speeding traffic heading full pelt for the centre of London. It was typical of this determination that he chose in the 1990s to manage the Islington Wooden Bridge Community Centre and Adventure Playground, when community work was not in fashion. Community centres were collapsing and funds were being withdrawn, but the success of this one in creating the warmth of community relief from social isolation and the complex strains of poverty, through its activities stimulating confidence and quality of life, was remarkable. Rob was aware that to take on a commanding managerial position could involve a loss of integrity and connection, which he endeavoured to avoid. In contrast, Rob worked on developing his technique in sculpture for very many years. He was originally taught sculpture by Diana Brandenburger, alongside his children’s arts classes on Saturdays. It was a mainspring of his creative life. When he met

96 and married Kate, he was able to develop this skill and pleasure further and into new artistic directions. At the time of his death, Rob was still working…, no longer in the inner city, but in Herefordshire as a Village Halls Adviser: this was a post to which he applied the same skills of strategy, empathy and belief in building community. His professionalism, intelligence and wit had the same impact in Herefordshire as in London. He is much missed, as he was much respected and valued. Rob was a dedicated, devoted and supra-modern father. At a time before anything serious was expected of fathers, he shared every parenting task and activity with care, wit and loving affection. Rob and Ange separated in 2009. He leaves his children Leila and Jonah, his grandchildren Luka and Josef and his second wife Kate.

PETER HARRINGTON died of pneumonia in a Birmingham hospital on 30th November 2014, aged 69. He came to Clare in 1964, and was an ebullient character as an undergraduate, where he read English. Peter was also secretary of the Cambridge University National Trust Centre, and organised various outings, including one to Deene Park in Northamptonshire. There the party was shown round by the late Mrs Marian Brudenell, whom Peter tipped ten shillings, thinking her to be the housekeeper rather than the lady of the house and the daughter of a former Lord Chancellor. (She kept the tip!) Sadly, his father died while Peter was at Clare. After graduating, Peter took the Certificate of Education at Cambridge, and taught for a few years in Southend, before becoming a careers advisor. In that job he saw, and applied successfully for, a vacancy as a building society’s staff association secretary, a post he filled with great efficiency and pleasure until ill- health forced his early retirement. His parents owned a home in Billericay, formerly a chapel, which he sold after his mother’s death so that he could move to his beloved Lake District. Unfortunately, he suffered a stroke a few

97 years ago, which left him in a wheelchair, and necessitated a move to King’s Norton, a suburb of Birmingham, where he lived with his wife Ann. He went to some 10-year reunions at Clare, and Richard Wildman and others say they had not met for several years, but they will miss him and his cheerfulness.

JOHN PETER HINDLEY went up to Clare, from Oundle, in 1939. Due to the outbreak of War, the study towards his Mechanical Sciences degree was shortened to two years, instead of three. To comply with University Statutes, the Dean had to act on his behalf in receiving his BA and MA degrees, at the appropriate times. On leaving Clare, John was drafted to a factory in South London making valves for the radio sets of that time. After the War, he returned to his home town of Liverpool and qualified as a Chartered Patent Agent. He worked free-lance until his retirement, and always spent a month in Munich for his old firm - a habit which he maintained into his 80s. For his last thirty years he retired to Powys, and became a pillar of the local church. We have this information thanks to the kind initiative of a neighbour, who was also at Clare.

JOHN IRVINE, aged 80, sadly passed away on 25.10.2013. He was born on 2.6.1933 in Southgate, London, England. He came to Clare in 1954 and read History, gaining a BA degree in 1957. In the year he graduated, he married his wife, Rosemary, and they moved to Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. In 1959 he added a further qualification in business administration and marketing, from the Vancouver Faculty of Commerce. They lived in B.C. for 56 years, and John spent most of his working life as a successful executive for the Hudson Bay Company, frequently travelling as a Buyer and being involved in 98 the opening of new stores. In his leisure times, and retirement, he was very fond of working on cars, especially his old TR-7. It is recalled that, while he was at Cambridge, he was lucky enough to own a Jaguar. He is also credited with having ridden across Canada on his motorbike. John and his wife often visited Clare while on trips to England. He is survived by his loving wife, sons Simon and Paul, and two grandchildren.

JOHN IRVINE LATTEY was born in Alexandria in Egypt in 1929. His father had a legal practice there, and it was a classically colonial household with a nanny and staff doing much of the hands-on care. He went to a prep school in Memphis, followed by Victoria College in Alexandria. At age 11 he returned to the UK with his mother and brother - travelling through Calais just a month before it was taken by the German army. His father remained in Egypt, and the family never reunited: his father died in 1950. After another prep school, John boarded at St Edwards School, Oxford from 1943 to 1947. Here he was a house prefect and Captain of cricket and swimming. He played cricket for the 1st XI 1944-1947 and also played rugby. National Service in the RAF was followed by admission to Clare in 1949 to read Mechanical Sciences. He continued to play cricket at Clare College. For years he had played cricket with his brother, claiming Derek (Clare 1951) wanted to bat, so John became good at bowling. His love of cricket is displayed by the existence of a meticulously kept record of all bowling and batting during 1948-1968. After graduation, he was a trainee at Rolls Royce Aero Engine Division for two years 1952-54. He then worked at the Guided

99 Weapons Division of Vickers Armstrong and BAC at Brooklands. He was group leader and manager working on the Vigilant anti-tank missiles and TSR2. The latter was a high-performance fighter jet which was scrapped due to governmental cost v benefit issues. Because of this cancellation he was made redundant in 1966, but the TSR2 was always the work of which he was most proud. Around this time, he met Sheila at a party, and they married on New Year’s Day 1955, despite her spending much of their courting watching him play cricket. They had three children. In 1966, the family moved from Weybridge to Bournemouth where he was technical manager for the traffic light division of Plessey. In 1968 he got a job as head of technology services for GKN Screws and Fasteners division in Smethwick. But they moved to Solihull, which was much more to Sheila’s liking than Smethwick. Between 1977 and 1983 he worked as a project manager for GKN in Iraq on projects concerning cold storage and chickens. He then worked for British Aerospace, Kingston on a project in Iraq. It is thought that he got this job on the back of his previous contracting experience in Iraq. He once explained to his son (Nick) that this experience largely consisted of knowing the likely cost of bribes. After he retired in 1988 he threw himself into his interests in Olton Golf Club. He was B Team Captain 1991-1993 and after this continued to organise working parties and play an active role within the club. Perhaps John never really appreciated how much he relied on Sheila until she died in 1999. John had had surgery to relieve cancer in 1979. In 2002 the problem reappeared and further surgery was needed. When Nick visited him in Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham a few days after surgery, the first thing John expressed was concern over the Olton Golf Club B Team captains. He asked Nick to run the

100 database and make sure everything proceeded as it should do. This was typical of his grim determination and a sense of duty. If he said he would do something, he would, whatever circumstance he found himself in. Sadly, his younger daughter died in 2003 after a long term eating disorder and subsequently heroin addiction. The last few months of her life were extremely difficult for John as he tried to steer her to a better path. Despite their saving his life, he never forgave the QE hospital for, as he saw it, giving him MRSA. He joined the MRSA support group and visited the Houses of Parliament with them. He also took up a protest cause, writing to and visiting local and national politicians with letters detailing the monetary losses he felt he had suffered at their hands. In November 2013 he fell into a bunker and fractured some ribs, spending a month in hospital. His son feared John’s Christmas message saying “I enjoy defeating my geriatric health problems” was wildly optimistic. He continued to deteriorate generally and was admitted with pneumonia in February 2014. He was discharged with a care package and was only coping due to his grim determination. He was readmitted after a night on the floor in his bedroom on 26th March. He seemed to improve in hospital by the next day but, sadly, died on 28.3.2014.

KEITH ORMISTON LAURENCE, who became a Professor in West Indian History, has died in the earlier half of 2014. He was educated at Queen’s Royal College (QRC), Trinidad, and won the Modern Studies Island Scholarship. This gained him admission to Clare in 1951, where he read History, and after graduating BA, continued to study for a PhD. At least one person at Clare remembers an enthusiastic declaration by Keith “You people here have no idea what a banana really tastes like!”. In 1959 he was

101 awarded the PhD degree, for his pioneering study of post- emancipation immigration to Trinidad and Guyana.. Soon afterwards, he went to teach at what was then the Univ. College of the West Indies, at Mona, Jamaica. He joined the first group of West Indian historians teaching there, and an undergraduate of that time, Carl, remembers him at Mona driving a low, red, open-top Triumph sports car, looking ‘quite the dashing bachelor’ (Carl’s words). Keith stayed at Mona from 1959 to 1972, and it was here that he met, courted and married Kemlin Ching who taught Spanish literature. In 1972 he returned to his homeland of Trinidad as Professor of History at St Augustine, a post he held to his retirement in 1995. As a teacher, Keith was always exceptionally well prepared, and interested in his subject; he was a knowledgeable, meticulous lecturer, tutor and examiner. It is said that he made such an impression on students at QRC, where he taught briefly before going to Mona, that more than one went as far as adopting his unmistakable, perfectly formed handwriting style. At St Augustine Keith taught generations of students the core Year 2 courses on West Indian history, compulsory for History Majors. They found him formidable, outwardly severe, even stern; but if they got to know him they soon found how approachable he was, how interested in their work; and they all appreciated how meticulous he was in his class preparation and his marking of essays and exam scripts. For these attributes as well as for his wonderful character and personality he was well respected by colleagues and friends. He wrote several books on West Indian history, which are all valuable references. Probably he is best known for his magisterial book A Question of Labour, an authoritative study of indentured Indian immigration to Trinidad and Guyana. May he rest in peace.

102 The Rev’d DAVID JAMES PAYNE died peacefully at Kentford Manor, Newmarket, on 8.3.2014. He was born in St John’s Wood, London, in 1931, and finished his school education at Sherborne in 1949. He then did National Service in Egypt. David came up to Clare in 1951, and gained a Natural Sciences degree in 1954. He spent three years as a teacher of biology at Mill Hill School, and also at Marlborough College. This, evidently, did not satisfy his preferences, and in 1958 he began to work at Lee Abbey, Devon, for two years. In that inspiring environment he seemed to find his calling and he entered Wycliffe Hall Theological College, Oxford, for two years; in 1962 he was ordained Deacon at Christ Church, Oxford, and the following year was ordained Priest at Guildford Cathedral. David followed faithfully a career as Curate at Guildford and Rector of parishes, with a notable service for six years as Warden of Crowhurst Home of Christian Healing, Sussex. In 1995 he retired to South Cerney, Gloucestershire, until his final move to Burwell in 2007.

ROBIN OWEN RICHARDS, DSC, C.Eng, who gave notable service in the War, has died on 28.10.2014, at the age of 92. He was educated at Stowe School where he won a scholarship to Temple House, under the headmastership of J. F. Roxburgh. In 1940 he was awarded a scholarship at Clare to read Mechanical Sciences, from where, in the shortened courses of wartime, he graduated in 1942 with First Class Honours. Robin then joined the Navy, and as a Sub-Lieutenant was seconded to the Special Operations Executive, (S.O.E.) based on the Helford River. During 1942-3 he served with the Helford flotilla of French fishing boats engaged in the cross channel landing and picking up of personnel and munitions, famously on Ile Stagadon in the Aber-Wrac'h estuary, in Brittany. Later in 1943 he was seconded to S.O.E. No. 1 Special 103 Force in Italy, carrying out similar operations on the Adriatic coast, based on Bari. In addition he was involved in the demolition of special targets including railways, communications and landing S.O.E. liaison officers. For some of the time he lived with partisans in the North, behind the German lines. His Distinguished Service Cross was awarded in 1944 for a particularly hazardous piece of reconnaissance on German-held beaches. In 1944-5 Robin was based in Nice, landing agents in Northern Italy, which was still held by the Germans. As Naval Liaison Officer he parachuted with partisans north of German-held Genoa with instructions to prevent the demolition of the heavily- mined port by the retreating Germans. In the event the Germans surrendered to the partisans, the first time this had ever occurred. In June 1945 Robin flew to Australia to train to operate miniature submarines for clandestine attacks by S.O.E. on Japanese-held islands, but the war ended before any of them were used. Robin was a founder member of the Special Forces Club in London. On demobilisation he joined the firm of Woodall-Duckham, rising to be Technical Director of this Chemical Plant Construction Company. In 1974 the firm was taken over, and Robin joined the staff of Imperial College, London University to develop the new 4-year courses in Mechanical Engineering. In 1982 he took part-time retirement and moved to Nelson Place, Lymington. Having sailed with his father from the age of four, Robin was a keen yachtsman and had been a member of the Parkstone and Bosham Sailing Clubs and of the Royal Ocean Racing Club. With his brother Brooks he owned Paladin, a highly successful 36ft ocean racer designed by Van der Stadt, and raced to Ireland, Biscay and Scandinavia throughout the nineteen-sixties. He was also proud to be a member of the Royal Cruising Club, and of the

104 Royal Lymington Yacht Club where he served on the committee and was awarded the Commodore's Cup for his work on redesigning the layout of the Club Waterfront. For many years he and his wife Kate cruised regularly in North Brittany and the Bay of Biscay. His lectures on the history of Brittany and its many islands, all of which they had visited, were widely sought after. Latterly they exchanged their long-distance motor-sailer Popocatepetl for a Nicholson 32 with greater sailing ability but less demanding equipment. Robin was a loyal churchman and practising Christian, whose many acts of personal kindness and generosity remained private. He was for many years on the rota of lesson readers and excelled in his interpretations of the major prophets. He had considerable musical gifts, contributing with Kate to local amateur chamber groups with his viola, and singing bass in the choir at St Thomas' Lymington for over twenty years. In earlier times, he sang in the London Bach Choir for twenty-seven years.

ARAM SOLI RUDENSKI was born in London, to refugees from Hitler - his mother from Germany, his father from Poland. Aram went to University College School, in Hampstead, a very prestigious but unpretentious public school, where he excelled in mathematics and languages. He was awarded a prize by the Cambridge University Examinations Syndicate for handing in the best A-level Mathematics paper in the country. He also took an A- level in French, as well as O-levels in Classical Greek, Latin, Russian, and Hebrew. He stayed on at school after A-levels to sit the Cambridge Entrance exam in Mathematics, and was awarded an open scholarship to Clare College, for 1976. He applied to read 105 Medicine, in his words because he wanted to have a career helping others. In the Tripos he received three Firsts, completing the medical course in his first and second years, and doing Maths Tripos 1A in his 3rd year. For 2 terms, he was catering manager for the university Israel Society, a role which entailed preparing lunch for around 40 people every week. Classical music concerts, plays, and the Jewish Society were his main extra-curricular interests. In 1979, he moved to Lincoln College Oxford to spend 3 years completing his clinical medical studies. He spent most of this time in the hospitals, with little time for involvement in anything else. After qualifying, he spent 6 months as a pre-registration house physician in Hastings, and then 6 months as a house surgeon in Oxford. Aram was then awarded an MRC Training Fellowship to carry out mathematical modelling of type-2 diabetes and was awarded a DPhil by Oxford University. During this time he had further chance to sample university life and was a member of Green College. At this time, the AIDS crisis came to the fore. He was a volunteer on the AIDS helpline, as well as being a trainer for volunteers and a medical advisor for the group known as OXAIDS. He obtained a registrar post in Clinical Biochemistry in Oxford, and lived as deputy warden in a flat in the Friends Meeting House, St Giles. After Oxford, Aram developed his career towards obtaining a consultant post, but there was a great shortage, making it difficult to plan life at all. He obtained a consultant post in Bradford in 1999, but sadly his dear mother was having difficulties coping with her dementia, and for a time he was travelling down to London on his off-duty Sundays to see her. She died in about 2002. In his work, he considered his greatest contribution was teaching, which he loved. He always received excellent feedback from the students; medical, nursing, and MSc. His research in Oxford demonstrated the importance of insulin deficiency rather than insulin resistance in the progression of type-2 diabetes. He

106 always enjoyed languages and grammar, particularly Hebrew. He loved following the news from Israel in Hebrew. He liked to brush up his Greek and read the Odyssey and Iliad in the original. He probably read more French novels than English. He also continued to enjoy reading mathematics and physics books. About a year after his mother’s passing, he moved into a house, and, more importantly, acquired a garden. There, he could grow his favourite plants, his beloved fragrant roses, honeysuckles, fruit trees and bushes, globe artichokes, and asparagus. In Manchester, he could attend the Bridgewater Hall, going to 20 or more classical music concerts per season. For holidays he would see family in Israel, or go to the Lake District or Scotland, loving to be near water and trees. He enjoyed an active social life, including a weekly gay ballroom dancing group (winning a medal and trophy for being judged the best male dancer in a Manchester gay pride games!), and a monthly gay dining club. He went on many walks with the Gay Outdoor Club, and in 2009 he met his partner David Kennedy in Hebden Bridge, an area they both loved and explored together, in particular taking walks through Hardcastle Crags. Aram died at home on 31.8.2014, aged 57, after a long illness, and will be missed by many people, including his civil partner David, who survives him.

ANDRÉ SCHIFFRIN, with a career in the world of publishing, died of pancreatic cancer on 1.12.2013 aged 78. He was the son of a prominent publisher who fled to New York from Paris before the Nazi occupation during the Second World War. He studied History at Clare as a Mellon Fellow, coming up in 1957, and graduating with first class honours in 1959. André’s time at Clare is one of the many experiences he recounted entertainingly in his book, A Political Education: Coming of age in Paris and New York (2007). He was director of publishing at Pantheon Books for nearly thirty years. As a publisher, he was partially responsible for

107 introducing Pasternak, Foucault, Sartre and many others to the USA. He left his post at Pantheon for numerous reasons related to a perceived crisis in publishing, which are explained in his work The Business of Books: How the International Conglomerates Took Over Publishing and Changed the Way We Read (2000). André founded the not-for-profit New Press in 1990 after leaving Pantheon, and will be remembered as a significant figure in the publishing world. A very defensive obituary was published by his publisher, Melville House, and also there was a similar one in the New York Times. Melville House wrote ‘perhaps the thing about André’s life that the Times obituary most obscures is that that fight with conglomerate publishing made him such a hero to so many people in publishing, including many trapped in conglomerate publishing, and particularly to a generation of small independent publishers. No one did so much, in fact, to define the term independent publisher coming into the twenty-first century’. In 1961, André Schiffrin married Maria Elena de la Iglesia, known as Leina. She and daughters Natalia and Anya survive him, and three grandchildren.

MICHAEL GEORGE SCHOFIELD, sociologist, died at the age of 94 on 27.3.2014. He came to Clare in 1937, and read Economics and then Moral Sciences. Michael’s activity as an author was pioneered by his book Society and the Homosexual (Gollanz, 1952), and at that time it appeared under a pseudonym. This was considered an essential feature in the prevailing hostile attitude of the times. Following this were further writings on sociological aspects of sex education, birth control, pre-marital sexual relationships, drugs and prison reform.

108 In 1964, Michael became research director of the Central Council for Sex Education, and continued to write papers and books, some of which were recommended reading for university students reading sociology. He also served on Advisory Committees on Drug Dependence. In 1968, Michael set up a foundation named the Lyndhurst Settlement, which over the next 38 years gave £3 million to assist small and struggling charities working for civil liberties, social justice and the protection of the environment. He is fondly remembered as a champion of the ‘Swinging Sixties’, who paved the way for a more tolerant society. He was a resident of Camden for 60 years, and in 1958 moved, with his partner, to the Belsize area of Hampstead. This civil partner, Anthony Skyrme, survives him.

ROBERT KENNEDY WALKER SLOAN was born in Troon, Ayrshire in 1916, went to prep school at Warriston in Moffat and entered Clare College from the Leys, Cambridge in 1935, with an exhibition in Classics. He read both Classics and Modern Languages and in his last year, 1938, he captained the Clare hockey XI to win the inter-college Cambridge Cuppers and, always one to enjoy a party, was also president of the May Week Ball. After offering service but failing the army medical to join the Kings Own Scottish Borderers in 1939, he joined the Dominions Information Department (to be re-named the Services Liaison Department) of the Foreign Office, later transferring to the junior drafting team of the Joint Intelligence Staff. They were an all- Cambridge team from Peterhouse, King's, Magdalene, Trinity and Clare, and were dependent for their intelligence material and briefing on their various Departments which included the Admiralty, War Office and Foreign Office. The team met and 109 worked in the Cabinet War Rooms. After the war, in the 1950's, Kennedy was posted to Singapore, Hong Kong and Rome and then, after a spell in London, to South Africa in the 1960s, where he witnessed Verwoerd's shooting in the Union Building, Pretoria. His lifelong love of golf took him to courses all around the world and on his lengthy retirement he joined the Liphook Golf Club (captaining it for one year) and the Seniors Golfing Society. His second passion was racing, to which he was introduced at Newmarket whilst up at Clare. He took a keen interest in the sport, both on the course, as a member of Goodwood and off the course, latterly watching racing from every course on the television. He loved playing bridge and was churchwarden of his local church, St Peter's Church, Terwick for seventeen years. He was married with three daughters and was very proud of his five grandchildren and four great grandchildren.

DEREK BOWMAN SMART OBE, a successful engineer, died on 18.3.2014 after a short illness. He attended the scholarship examination at Clare, met another candidate, and realised that they had been at the same school in Doncaster, seven years previously. They were both awarded exhibitions in mathematics, but on entering Clare in 1957 both chose to read engineering, and they became life-long friends. They shared a room in Memorial Court in their final year. Derek’s particular enthusiasm at this time was amateur ‘ham’ radio, encouraged by the Cambridge University Wireless Society. He was a very practical, ‘hands-on’ engineer, helping to construct Clare’s warship for the ‘Cod War’ battle against Trinity Hall that took place on the Cam on Poppy Day 1958, replicating the Anglo- Icelandic naval engagements that were then in the news.

110 Following graduation, Derek was recruited, as a graduate engineering apprentice, by the Central Electricity Generating Board and he spent the whole of his career in the electricity generating industry. He rose rapidly through the engineering ranks at some of the largest coal-fired stations –West Thurrock, Eggborough and Ratcliffe-on-Soar – becoming Station Manager at Ferrybridge ‘C’ in 1975. He moved on through more senior positions, and at the privatisation of the industry he became Chief Personnel Officer of Nuclear Power. In 1997 he was awarded the OBE for services to the electricity industry. By then he and his wife, Ann, were living at Knowle in Warwickshire, where they shared a keen interest in gardening, King Charles spaniels, bell-ringing, caravanning, scouting (Derek was chairman of the Knowle Scout Group) and, justly, a pride in their family. His contemporaries will remember Derek’s cheerful disposition and ‘glass-half-full’ attitude. This, together with his willingness to use his practical skills and his energy for the benefit of others, characterised his life. Even before retirement he was asked to become a governor as a ‘link with industry’, and soon chairman of governors, of the local Arden School. He saw this as a way of helping a new generation to receive the educational opportunities and privileges that he had enjoyed. Working with a head teacher with similar strengths and ambitions, they introduced a sixth form and turned Arden into a very successful academy. They then took on a second school, Park Hill in Solihull, where they repeated the success. A very full church marked his passing.

MICHAEL JOHN STANFIELD, born and raised in Sheffield, came to Clare in 1951 and read Natural Sciences. He graduated BA in 1954, and went into clinical training to add M.B and Ch.B degrees. In the late 1950s Michael and his first wife, Jean (née Fisher), went to Canada, where he fulfilled his National Service obligation serving with the RCAF near Montreal, Quebec. They 111 returned to England for a few years, then went back to Canada, to Winnipeg, Manitoba, returning to England one more time before finally crossing the Atlantic to settle in Calgary, Alberta where they built a life and raised their four children in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies. A caring husband, loving father, doting grandfather and great- grandfather, Michael lived life fully and well. He was a successful family physician who also possessed a true gift for watercolour painting and photography with a keen eye for composition, be it a junco bird in the snow on his balcony or a spectacular sunset over Lake Okanagan. He was the kind of person who could pick up a pool cue or golf club, having not played for decades, and be spot on for every shot. He played piano beautifully, nearly every day, and was the organist at a few churches he attended over his lifetime. After Jean’s early death, Michael retired to Vancouver Island. He was lucky enough to find true love again and married Hanne Blair in 1993. They enjoyed their retirement years together as constant companions in everything from international travel to wandering over local hiking trails in the various places they lived. In retirement, he bought his first computer and an avid techie was born. He learned how to speak Danish when he was in his 60s. He had a curious mind, but an ordered one and took great pleasure in marking unimportant but interesting things, such taking the outside temperature at the same hour every day for a year and plotting it on a graph – just to see the result. He was a slave to his sweet tooth, enjoyed a tot of whisky, had a marvellous sense of humour, and was a truly wicked Scrabble player who consistently winkled out more than one seven-letter word per game and snagged most of the triple word scores – even in Danish.

112 Michael died peacefully on Tuesday, March 18, 2014 in Penticton, British Columbia, surrounded by his children. We are sad to lose such a bright mind and a man who still had so much to give. He is remembered with much love and many fond memories by his entire family and many friends the world over.

RICHARD VERNON STONE had a notable career as a consultant physician. As a teenager Richard attended Haileybury College in Hertfordshire where, halfway through his education, he switched from the classics to science after deciding he wanted to study medicine. Richard went up to Clare College in October 1938 and his time at Clare gave him a rigorous work ethic that he retained throughout his life. ‘Though you might not want to work, it really did not pay to slack’, he wrote in his memoirs, which unfortunately he did not finish before his death. In those recollections he writes about his years at Clare and his first introduction to the dissecting room with bodies laid out on enormous slabs. ‘There was a strange odour of vinegar, pickle, fat and I know not what else’, he wrote. During his time at Clare he was secretary of the College squash team and played for the Trundlers cricket team, which was most noteworthy for its choice of yellow, purple and pink striped caps and ties. The influence Clare had on his life is reflected in his oldest daughter’s middle name – Clare. Under the pressure of wartime, Richard’s science course was shortened to two years, and in the summer of 1940 he returned north to Manchester Royal Infirmary for hospital training and, after days of bombing in the city, set up a makeshift clinic near All Saints. He then took a house physician job at Salford Royal Hospital and, with all doctors expected to help the war effort, joined the Merchant Navy as a ship’s senior surgeon.

113 In service, he experienced Atlantic convoys with the horrors of at-sea bombings, picking up survivors from prisoner-of-war camps in Singapore and crossing the channel several times during the D- Day landings. After his return to England, Richard took the MRCP (Royal College of Physicians) exam and then married his fiancée Lorna Ridge, known as Bunty, in 1944. Over the years, their four daughters – Judith, Charlotte, Deborah and Prudence – were born. From 1950 to 1974 Richard was consultant physician for West Manchester and served such widely disparate groups as Kelloggs, Rolinx, the Lancashire Cricket Team and Manchester United. He earned the respect of all in his field as a physician and a teacher. Doctors many years his junior remember with pride the influence Richard had on their lives. After Bunty’s death in 1994, he married Jean Unna and a new, happy chapter in his life began – including the addition of step-daughter Rosemary. He fought against the physical problems that come with age, continuing to work part-time as a medical referee for Manchester Crematorium until three months before his death, and, when not brushing up his medical knowledge, could often be found in his immaculate garden, tending to the vegetables, admiring his roses and dahlias and waging an ongoing war against rabbits. Until the day he died, shortly before his 94th birthday, his brain remained knife-sharp and his family and friends knew better than to challenge him at the Telegraph crossword or argue a historical fact. Richard is survived by his wife, Jean, 5 daughters, 10 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren. Quoting from the eulogy at his funeral ‘To live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die.’

ANDREW CHRISTOPHER STUART, diplomat, has died at the age of 85 after a remarkable career in the Colonial and Diplomatic Services. His father was the Anglican Bishop of Uganda, hence he had an early introduction to Africa. He was educated at Bryanston School, and came to Clare in 1949 to read Economics, and then

114 History (and has recently been Year Group Representative for 1949 in the Alumni Council). After National Service in the Navy, he joined the Colonial Administrative Service in Uganda in 1953. Uganda achieved Independence in 1962, but Andrew stayed on for a further three years. Andrew was then called to the Bar by Middle Temple, joined the Diplomatic Service, and was posted to Helsinki, Finland, as First Secretary and Head of Chancery, until 1968. His next move was to the Asian Department, and by 1972 he was serving in the Far East, partly as a counsellor in Jakarta, Indonesia, until 1978. A detailed story has been publicised about Andrew Stuart’s handling of the transition to Independence by the New Hebrides. This group of about 80 islands, now known as Vanuatu, was, in its colonial status, administered jointly by French and British authorities. An Independence Day was set for 30.7.1980, and as this day approached it seems that each side of the administration expected the other to seek to try to maintain influence after the transition, contradicting the idea of independence. The situation was complicated by the appearance of a group of rebels, armed with bows and arrows, who spoke French and were supported in a clandestine way by the French administration. The French brought in paratroopers from their base in New Caledonia; Andrew appealed to Mrs Thatcher to fly out 200 Marines for peace-keeping purposes, and she approved this. With Andrew’s diplomatic skills, aided by his imposing 6’ 7” height, the first independent Prime Minister of Vanuatu, an Anglican priest, took over peacefully, and agreed to invite troops from Papua New Guinea to replace the Marines, who only served there for about three weeks.

115 Andrew was appointed CMG in 1979, and after that launching of Vanuatu, he served as Ambassador to Finland until his retirement in 1983. Until 1990, he was Principal of the United World College of the Atlantic in Wales. He published a book Of Cargoes, Colonies and Kings in 2001. Andrew was first married to Patricia Kelly, whom he had met in Uganda, and they had two sons and a daughter. She died in 2008, and he met his second wife, Susan, while giving lectures on a cruise ship. They married in 2010, and visited Uganda, and Vanuatu where in 2012 they attended the 50th anniversary of Independence. Susan, and the three children of his first marriage, survive him. His daughter tells us that he counted his time at Cambridge as some of the happiest and most formative years of his life. It was always a great sadness to him that none of his children or grandchildren attended Clare.

JOHN PETER SWANN ‘passed away due to the inevitable result of Parkinsonism’ on a windswept Alberta day, in the loving embrace of his family. He was born in Kent, and at age six the wartime Battle of Britain was threatening in the skies overhead. Peter was evacuated to Northern Ireland along with the school class of his elder sister, Brenda. For a lad of six, this must have seemed very strange. At age nine, Peter began five years at the Dragon School, Oxford, where he won a scholarship to Uppingham School, Rutland. He spent two periods in France during summer vacations from Uppingham, and in another year, a period of three months in Baden, Switzerland, as a ‘student chemist’. He picked up fluency in French and ‘a working knowledge’ of German.

116 Peter came to Clare in 1953, and read Natural Sciences with a Part II in Chemistry, graduating with BA in 1956. He then emigrated to Canada and did a lot of travelling, ‘searching for adventure’. In the early years he was a member of a travelling theatrical troupe, or worked nights as a bartender. At other times he worked days on construction sites. Peter finally settled in Calgary, Alberta, met and married Wendy, daughter of a Judge, in 1957. A gap in the information on his life appears, but he seems to have returned to Kent, possibly after the death of his ‘first wife, Wendy’ in 1994. He then emigrated to Canada again in 2011 to be near his children and their families. His final home was at a Lodge, where he made many friends and participated in the activities. He died on 27.2.2014, aged 79, and had donated his body to the Anatomical Gifts Program at the University of Alberta. He was ‘a gentle gentleman’ who made an impression on everyone he met. His family and friends will miss him for many qualities, including his kindness and thoughtfulness.

GEORGE TEELING-SMITH OBE, who is noted for setting up the Office of Health Economics, died unexpectedly on 28.1.2014. He came to Clare in 1948, and initially read Mathematics, then changed to Natural Sciences. It is written that the Office of Health Economics (OHE) would not exist but for George, nor would it have thriven for 50 years without his foresight in its arrangement. The health care world was very different when George established the

117 OHE in 1962. The NHS had recently faced the tragedy of thalidomide treatment. There was clearly a need for more effective regulation of drug efficacy and safety. It was increasingly seen as urgent that an understanding was required of both the balance of benefit and risk in drugs, and an appropriate balance of their prices and the cost of investment in finding them. Further complications lay in the costs of a large hospital building programme, and in a new GP contract aimed at revitalising primary care. Very little was really known about the cost of the NHS, or about the social value of the output of hospitals. Under George’s leadership, serving as its Director for 30 years, the OHE began to tackle these issues. Through the OHE, George helped to increase the interest in, and understanding of, health economics. He, with his wife Diana, attended the OHE’s 50th anniversary celebrations in October 2013 as a guest of honour.

WILFRID TREASURE died unexpectedly in his sleep on 3.11.2013 while on leave in Edinburgh from his Shetland Island medical practice. Wilf grew up in Cheltenham, seventh in a family of nine. Music and academic scholarships enabled him to go to Cheltenham College where, in addition to playing violin and piano, he became an accomplished organist. As a sixth-former, he played in the National Youth Orchestra. Taking A-levels in pure and applied mathematics and physics as well as music, he was tempted to apply for maths courses. He also seriously considered medicine as an option, and did some work towards an A-level in chemistry, but he was reluctant to relegate music to a part-time activity and instead was admitted to Clare in 1974, to study Music. Wilf loved the vibrant and challenging environment of the College and the University, where among many other activities he played in a viol consort, and his life was hugely enriched, musically and socially. A friend of his, Tim Hewitt-Jones (St.John's 1974) writes: 118 ‘Wilf took his studies seriously - I remember our supervisor for Part II of the Music Tripos, Robin Holloway, commenting on a fine piece of work that Wilf had just produced on Mahler - and he also took full part in the life of Clare College as a member of the Chapel Choir. In 1976 (with Wilf's encouragement) I joined the choir for a year and was able to see at first hand the lovely close and supportive community to which Wilf contributed and of which he was very much a part, under inspired direction from John Rutter’. John Rutter remembered him as ‘a most tolerant neighbour: in (I think) his first year, his room adjoined the one I used for supervising music students, and their efforts to read complex scores at the piano (which was against the party wall) weren't always a pleasure to the ear, but he never complained’. Graduating in 1977, Wilf decided to go to medical school. He moved to London, took A-levels in chemistry and biology and within a year had been accepted at Guy’s Hospital. For some years after qualifying he pursued a career as a hospital physician, specialising in gastroenterology. He passed the examinations for Membership of the Royal College of Physicians and worked as a medical registrar. He was working in Edinburgh and on track to become a consultant when he decided that general practice was where he could do his best work and make the greater contribution. He joined the Muirhouse Medical Group where he stayed for 20 years, working with a group of colleagues whose breadth of medical interests and attributes he greatly valued. It was here that he discovered his vocation. He wrote about his own career transition in the preface to his book Diagnosis and Risk Management in Primary Care: words that count, numbers that speak (London: Radcliffe, 2011): ‘I might have carried from my hospital registrar post into my general practice traineeship the biomechanical model of medicine, and confidently pointed patients towards their diseases: instead I was introduced to a gentler touch, a quieter way of observing, more intelligent listening.’ This did not mean a departure from evidence-

119 based medicine. All Wilf’s professional writing was grounded in research and meticulously footnoted. In the same preface he asks whether there is ‘a tension between being evidence-based and being patient-centred’, and concludes: ‘if there is a tension… it’s like the tension in a watch spring that makes the hands turn round.’ Wilf was a highly original thinker, inclined to challenge orthodoxy and conformity. He believed in giving patients positive health-affirming messages and reassurance wherever possible, and minimising investigation and medication. 'First do no harm' was one of his favourite dictums. He was a prolific contributor to professional journals, and wrote a learning module on functional illnesses for BMJ learning. During the last two years, he wrote a series of commissioned monthly articles for the British Journal of General Practice which are pithy and inspirational in exploring how doctors might best respond to their patients. In 2011 Wilf left the Muirhouse Practice to become the sole GP for the islands of Whalsay and Out Skerries in Shetland. This surprising and courageous move was motivated partly by a desire to put into practice his own belief in the importance of continuity of care, with the same doctor seeing the same patient over time and knowing the patient's family, and partly by a love of wild places. His passionate concern for the environment, like his commitment to public health, was expressed in his daily life. He walked and cycled long distances and drove a car reluctantly when he had to. His lifestyle tended towards the Spartan. In 2008 Wilf married Ann Robertson, a Research Fellow at the University of Edinburgh’s Centre for Population Health Sciences, with whom he had found a new level of personal happiness. Throughout these years his love of music remained strong. He continued to play the piano and was valued by singers and other musicians as a skilful and sensitive accompanist. To his list of instruments, he added the trombone, the piano accordion and the bagpipes. He was a keen chess player and remained an active

120 member of a book club and a philosophical discussion group during leave spent in Edinburgh. In all these activities, his mind was quick, playful and inventive. He enhanced many people’s lives and will be sorely missed. He is survived by his daughter, Edie, and his wife, Ann.

ANDREW HARRY COLTART YEOMAN, born in Yorkshire on Christmas Eve 1933, had an early introduction to life in Canada, where his father served in WWII in the RAF. After the war, Andrew was at Gresham’s School, and then came to Clare in 1953. He read Geography for two years, then took his finals in Geology. Armed with his BA and a fondness for Canada, Andrew settled in Calgary. In the late 1950s he gained a degree in teaching and taught Social Studies in the Calgary school system. In the 1960s, Andrew mixed with his teaching some extended and adventurous travels, such as crossing the Sahara from one oasis to the next. He also played in the field hockey team for Canada at the Tokyo Olympics, and gained a Master’s degree in History. Showing great versatility, he spent the next decade as an investment consultant, then in 1979 moved, with his second wife, Noël, to Vancouver Island. Here they bought ten acres of south- sloping hillside overlooking the sea, and established the Ravenhill Herb Farm. Thus began Andrew’s love affair with gardening, which he fully embraced by researching, collecting and growing a wide variety of plants. The farm and garden served as a community resource, and was open to the public in the growing season. Andrew shared his gardening knowledge in local publications and Noël wrote

121 cookbooks and food reviews. At Ravenhill, they hosted the first Feast of Fields on Vancouver Island. Thus Andrew lived an enthusiastic, successful and very full life. Late in life, Noël sadly died, and he relied on his strengths of dedication and perseverance in a fight against Parkinson’s disease, which he lost on 5.1.2014. His quiet disposition, kindness, dry British wit and positive spirit towards life will be greatly missed by all whose lives he touched.
