The academic year opened with the arrival of eleven new Fellows, reducing the average age of the Fellowship, correcting the gender balance, and covering a wide range of College Reports nationalities from Macedonian to Australian. Academic subjects ranged from law through philosophy, theology and English literature to biolog- ical sciences and physics. Regardless of subject and origin, they very soon became part of the community of Trinity Hall, which has always been so inclusive and welcoming. It was also a year for departure, with the retirement of two of our most senior and long-serving Fellows.

  • Christianity and Outward Bound in Britain, C.1941-1965
    “You can’t be an atheist here”: Christianity and Outward Bound in Britain, c.1941-1965 Purpose. To explore the role of formal religion in the early years of Outward Bound, a significant outdoor education organisation in Britain, from the 1940s to the 1960s. Design. This article is based on archival and other documentary research in various archives and libraries, mostly in the UK. Findings. The article shows that religious ‘instruction’ was a central feature of the outdoor education that Outward Bound provided. The nature and extent of this aspect of the training was a matter of considerable debate within the Outward Bound Trust, and was influenced by older traditions of muscular Christianity as well as the specific context of the early post-Second World War period. However, the religious influences at the schools were marginalised by the 1960s: although formal Christan observances did not disappear, the emphasis shifted to the promotion of a vaguer spirituality associated with the idea that ‘the mountains speak for themselves’. Originality/value. The article establishes the importance of organised Christianity and formal religious observances in the early years of Outward Bound, a feature which has generally been overlooked in the historical literature. It contributes to wider analyses of outdoor education, religious education and secularisation in the mid-twentieth century. Keywords: Outward Bound; Kurt Hahn; Christianity; outdoor education; character No organisation is more synonymous with outdoor education than Outward Bound. The scheme founded in 1941, originally to train merchant navy cadets at a sea school at Aberdovey in mid-Wales, is now a global network of outdoor schools in more than 30 countries attended by more than 150,000 participants every year (Outward Bound International, 2019).

  • Descendant Report
    Descendants of Godwulf Generation 1 1. GODWULF was born about 80 AD. He died about 125 AD. Notes for Godwulf: Godwulf was born about 80 AD. He heads the longest genealogical line recorded in my records, covering 67 generations. That shows easily that a generation averages about 29 years. That is the time between a person's birth and the first child given issue by that person. Source:http://www.smokykin.com/ged/f002/f54/a0025416.htm Godwulf is the 34th great grandfather of the 26th great grand uncle of Betty Westmoreland and the 28th great grand uncle of my Westmoreland grandchildren. Godwulf's descendants travel down through the family line of my son-in-law, Steven O. Westmoreland. This very long genealogical line ties into my most lengthly genealogical line, the one going back to Halfdan Vanha Sveidasson, the Earle of the Uplands in Norway. Halfdan Vanha Sveidasson was a Viking born about 750 AD. Halfdan Vanha Sveidasson is my 34th great grandfather. Halfdan Vanha Sveidasson's family line and Godwulf's family line came together in the person of French born English King Henry II. King Henry II came from the Plantagenet (pronounced planTAJ uh niht), which was the family name of a line of kings that ruled England from 1154 to 1399. These kings descended from the marriage of Matilda, daughter of King Henry I, to Geoffrey, Count of Anjou, France. Geoffrey was nicknamed Plantagenet, because he wore a sprig of the broom (genet) plant in his cap. Numerous historians also call these kings Angevins, meaning from Anjou.

  • AN INFORMAL GUIDE to PORTRAITS in TRINITY HALL Introduction
    PORTRAITS IN TRINITY HALL AN INFORMAL GUIDE TO PORTRAITS IN TRINITY HALL Introduction Nobody who has gone in and out of Cambridge colleges can miss the differences in atmosphere. Do college buildings shape the communities that live in them? Are we – the reader will forgive the pronoun, which is itself part of the mystery of college identity – what we are because of the configuration of our buildings? Do the walls convey a spirit which changes us and makes us behave in certain way? Whether the architecture explains it or not, each Cambridge college has a curious kind of personality. ‘Hall men and women’ know – though they rarely make that knowledge explicit – that ‘their college’ is the best and ‘the nicest’. It is “cosy” friendly, unpretentious and, in some mysterious way, welcoming. Several decades ago, a fomer Head Porter was irritated at the way the students and fellows chatted in the Porters’ Lodge and posted a note to remind undergraduates that the Porters’ Lodge was not the Junior Combination Room [Cambridge-Speak for ‘common room’] and that he would be obliged if they held their meetings elsewhere. Nobody took any notice and, as a wise and experienced Porter, he soon saw that the way students gathered in that space meant that Porters knew them well, could spot trouble and defuse it. I have heard two Porters and an undergraduate discussing her unexpectedly good Tripos results with every indication of genuine affection on the side of the Porters and pleasure at her success. So with these slightly diffuse introductory remarks, I welcome the reader to this guided tour of those who lived and worked here before our time and hope that both Trinity Hall members and visitors will find it entertaining to get to know the portraits and the persons whose faces stare at them from the walls.
