The closing lecture in the 50th Anniversary Lecture Series entitled Prevention is Better than Cure, was given by Professor Sir Leszek Borysiewicz, Vice-Chancellor of the University and Fellow and Peter DowlingPeter Honorary Fellow of our College. We have had a thriving programme of lectures, seminars, art exhibitions and music performances as described in the ‘Lectures and Events’ and ‘Wolfson Society’ sections in this Review. The report on the very productive Wolfson Research Event is supplemented by two articles from students derived from their presentations at the Event. Both the Humanities and the Science Societies have had a highly successful year, with the latter more than doubling the number of talks, and improving the gender ratio of presenters as well. The College’s Visiting Fellow and Press Fellowship programmes continue to thrive and bring many stimulating minds to the College. I am delighted that two Visiting Fellows, Andy Raich and Nim-yan Wong, and Press Fellow Syed Azwan Syed Ali, agreed to present short reviews of the work they have been doing whilst at the College. The ‘Sport’ section includes an impressive 12 contributions covering the great diversity of activities organised (mostly) by our students. The mix changes a little from year to year as the membership of clubs and societies fluctuates with changes in the student body. Circuit Training has become very dynamic this year, and the Boat Club performed magnificently in the May Bumps with M1 and W2 winning blades. In my role as Editor, I have to take responsibility for the range and balance of contributions, and for their presentation. I am grateful to all the contributors for their eager willingness to write, and then for delivering their copy more or less on time. Inevitably some stylistic editing has to be done but I’d like to think that I haven’t altogether eliminated any author’s originality of approach. This year I am grateful, as always, to the Development and Alumni Relations team for all their input and assistance, as well as to Sheila Betts for her great help in pulling everything together. And to Foreword H2 Associates who so reliably turn input copy and files into an impressive looking publication. editor@wolfson.cam.ac.uk www.wolfson.cam.ac.uk 5 From the President Professor Sir Richard Evans It is too early to tell what the exact consequences of the United Kingdom’s vote to leave the European Union on 23 June will be; negotiations will not begin until the autumn, and it is impossible to tell what their precise results will be. But it is clear that the implications of Britain’s exit from the EU are deeply concerning for Wolfson and its students. The key factor in swinging the majority in England and Wales against the EU seems to have been a strong feeling at least, that leaving the EU will enable stronger curbs to be imposed on people entering this country. It is in the interests of the UK government to follow this lead, since it is clear that it will gain strong electoral support from doing so.

Also briefly discussed are some of the negative outcomes generated by non-married families. Research on marriage and the family in the United States demonstrates that many individual and social benefits are rooted in the permanent union of one man with one woman.1 Studies consistently show what Catholic Church teaching has always affirmed, namely, that The well-being of the individual

Cover design and layout by Design4 Marketing Communications Printing by Thomson-Shore ExEcuTivE Summary Since the beginning of the internet age, pornography has been consumed in greater quantities than ever before in human history, and its content has grown more graphic. Recent research suggests that pornography consumption—especially consumption of a more hard-core or violent sort— has negative effects on individuals and society. More studies are necessary, but a growing body of research strongly suggests that for some users pornography can be psychologically addictive, and can negatively affect the quality of interpersonal relationships, sexual health and performance, and social expectations about sexual behavior. Widespread pornography consumption appears to pose a serious challenge to public health and to personal and familial well-being.
