As he remarked, it had nothing of the intrigue and scheming of C P Snow’s novels. Everything was handled with great care and sensitivity, and as soon as my election was announced in January 2004, I was immediately made welcome by the Fellowship. The calendar year covered by this Report was therefore initially one of my learning about the Hall and its residents, its alumni and its traditions. By the time Claire and I moved into the Lodge in September, we already felt fully part of the Hall and its community. Peter Clarke could not have been more helpful in easing me into the Mastership, explaining the back- ground of past decisions and involving me in debates over the future. The Hall owes much to him for establishing the strategic vision that informs our thinking over the next decade. The major decision, confirmed in September 2004 at a meeting of the Finance Committee chaired by Peter Clarke and with my full involve- ment, was to proceed with the exciting development at Wychfield. At the end of the year, the contractors appeared on site, and all is set for comple- tion for the academic year 2006/7. Wychfield will not only offer us modern accommodation in attractive surroundings; it will also provide flexibility in housing students in order to embark on the regeneration of the central site, where many staircases are in urgent need of improvement. Preserving and enhancing the ancient buildings on Trinity Lane will be a major task during my period as Master. Sadly, John Pegler retired as Bursar as I started my Mastership and I did not have the benefit of his wise and shrewd guidance. However, I was involved in the vital task of selecting his successor. The field was strong and the competition intense.
