It was another busy year for the Department of History and Philosophy of Science and many of the main activities were to do with people and staffing, highlighting the fact that it is the people who make the Department a success. Liba Taub was successful in her application for promotion to Professor and Tim Lewens was successful in his application for promotion to Reader, and we would like to congratulate them both on their new positions which commence in October 2010. During the course of the year Hasok Chang was appointed as the Department’s Rausing Professor, taking up the post previously held by Peter Lipton. Hasok joined the Department in September 2010 and we would like to extend our warm welcomes to him.

A knowledge of the conditions of his task should make the historian of Jesus take a modest view of its importance ; for, though the tree sprung from Alcock"s acorn has now grown to some size and not a little vigour, for the best part of its existence it was overshadowed by taller neighbours in the academic grove. In fact, except in some short periods of unwonted prosperity, Jesus was, until recent ' 1 times, emphatically a small college, low in revenues, and in numbers competing with Peterhouse and Magda- lene rather than with Caius or Christ's.
