Of course, there have been changes as some familiar faces departed and newcomers arrived. Professor John Denton retired as Vice Master and I am very grateful to him for all of his assistance as I settled in as Master. Professor Tom Körner has succeeded to the office and will, I am sure, be a source of good advice and wit. The Senior Tutor reports on changes in the Fellowship, and I would like to thank all those who are leaving for their contribution to the life of the College, and to welcome all newcomers. During the year, Carl Hodson arrived as our new Head Porter, and the wisdom of our choice was soon recognised by the University in his appointment as University Marshall, with responsibility for the processions and ceremonies in Senate House and the University Church, as well as for the University constables. We also welcome Dominique Ruhlmann as our new Director of Library Services, and we look forward to her plans to make the Jerwood Library an even greater asset to the College. Both Carl and Dominique are highly valued new members of the team at Trinity Hall, which has been working together so effectively over 2005. Stability does not mean stagnation; it provides the foundation for looking ahead to an exciting future.
