Corpus Elects New President Corpus Christi College has elected Professor Richard CarwardineFBA as its 31st President. Professor Carwardine, a graduate ofCorpus, is currently Rhodes Professor of American History at OxfordUniversity. He specialises in 19th century American history. Hisrecent biography of Abraham Lincoln won him the prestigiousLincoln Prize (awarded annually since 1991 for the best non-fictionhistorical work on the American Civil War). In 2008 he was electedto the Order of Lincoln by the State of Illinois. Professor Carwardinereplaces Sir Tim Lankester, who steps down from his post in January2010.

Richard read Modern History at Corpus between 1965 and 1968,and obtained his D.Phil at Queen’s College, Oxford. Prior to hisappointment as Rhodes Professor, he was Professor of History atSheffield University.

Commenting on his appointment Richard said, ‘It’s an extraordinary privilege for an Old Corpuscle tobe invited to take up the presidency of his undergraduate college. I can barely credit my good fortune.One particular pleasure will be getting to meet many old members. I’m looking forward enormously tobeing involved once again in the everyday life of Corpus, and to working with the Fellows, students andstaff to maintain and foster the College’s reputation as a close-knit community of academic distinctionand humane values.’

In his retirement, Sir Tim Lankester will continue to take a strong interest in Far Eastern affairs where hesits on a number of international commissions.

David Miliband (CCC 1984), Secretary of Statefor Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, and EdMiliband (CCC 1989), Secretary of State forEnergy and Climate Change, have been electedto Honorary Fellowships of the College.

David and Ed Miliband both read PPE at Corpus.They were both President of the Junior CommonRoom, and later they both spent a year studyingat Harvard.

David was Head of the Prime Minister’s PolicyUnit from 1997 to 2001. He became a Member ofParliament in 2001 and entered the Government

in 2005 as Minister of State for Communities andLocal Government. In 2006 he joined theCabinet as Secretary of State for Environment,Food and Rural Affairs; and in 2007 he waspromoted to the post of Secretary of State forForeign and Commonwealth Affairs.

Ed was a special adviser to Gordon Brown whenhe was Chancellor of the Exchequer. He enteredParliament in 2005 and in 2007 joined theCabinet as Minister for the Cabinet Office andChancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. He waspromoted to the post of Secretary of State forEnergy and Climate Change in 2008.

Rhodes Scholar Amia Srinivasan (2007) was elected to a Fellowship after Examination (also known asPrize Fellowship) at All Souls College in Michaelmas 2009. Prior to reading for her BPhil at Corpus, Amiastudied Philosophy at Yale University.

Amia’s election is particularly noteworthy: while All Souls normally elects two Fellows from a field of fiftyor more candidates, she was the only one elected this year.

Corpus Surpasses Fundraising Target

Old Members will know we launched our Appeal in 2001 in the anticipation of raising £10m to support anumber of projects:

• To endow our fellowships in Law, Classics and Modern History

• To endow undergraduate bursaries

• To add to the endowment for the maintenance of buildings

• To build a new auditorium

• To build new accommodation.

Over that time the College’s priorities shifted and new priorities arose. The original estimate of the costof building a new auditorium was only a quarter of the eventual cost and a substantial part of thefundraising proceeds were directed there. Some fundraising opportunities were serendipitous or weredesigned to capture the interest of particular donors, such as the endowment of our post in Cardio-vascular Medicine or the creation of a joint research fellowship in Dutch History.

In all, we succeeded in raising £11.3m from a donor-base that included both Old Members and externals.

Interestingly a large number of donations have been made without any restrictions as to their use. Of thetotal number of gifts, most have been of this type. It seems that the majority of Corpus alumni aregenerally happy to make a gift and for the college to determine its use. With the external donors, there isa very strong wish to see the gift used for a specific purpose (e.g. the MBI Building or the HandaFellowship in Clinical Medicine. Because of the shift in priorities and costs over the period theundesignated funds have been allocated nominally to various generic fund types. Wherever a gift hasbeen given for a designated purpose it has been applied to that purpose.

The gift types can be broken down as follows:

Donations to Corpus

(£000s) Target Designated Undesignated Total

Overall 29% of alumni (those with valid addresses) have given at some point during the appeal. Howeverthere is a pronounced variation in giving rates between year cohorts.

In part this reflects the shifting patterns of disposable income over a typical lifetime, but it is also possiblethat there are varying differences in levels of affinity between cohorts.

Currently, Corpus punches above its weight in fundraising terms. Last year we raised £2.7m against aUniversity median of £1.3m. Even allowing for that fact that £1m of that sum comprises a legacy trust, wemanaged to raise about 25% above the average. We are among the smallest Development Offices in theUniversity, with just two members of staff. The mean average across the university is 2.7 members of staff(the median is 4) and the largest offices employ some seven people.

We are now looking ahead to 2017 and the opportunities that the College’s Quincentenary presents. Theaddition of the MBI Al Jaber Building this year thanks to our fundraising efforts has transformed thecollege’s infrastructure and the scholarships and posts which our donors have supported have helped tonudge us back up towards the top of the Norrington Table. The Quincentenary will see Corpus able tobuild on its achievements over the past eight years and celebrate Richard Foxe’s legacy in a way that trulyreflects the intellectual spirit of its foundation. Meanwhile, the College expresses its enormous gratitudeto all those who have responded positively to the Appeal.

Balzan Prize for Honorary Fellow Corpuscle and Honorary Fellow Thomas Nagel (1958), Professor of Law and Philosophy at New YorkUniversity, was awarded the Balzan Prize for Moral Philosophy in September 2008.

The Prize (established in 1961) was awarded by the International Balzan Prize Foundation, and isintended to foster research in fields which have as their aim the cause of humanity and peace. ProfessorNagel was commended for his ‘fundamental and innovative contributions to contemporary ethicaltheory’ and the ‘originality and fecundity of his philosophical approach to some of the most importantquestions in contemporary life.’

This honour follows closely on his receipt of the Schock Prize for Scholarship, awarded in June 2008 bythe Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in recognition of his considerable contributions to the field ofLogic and Philosophy and reported in Issue 9 of the Pelican News.

Academic Honour for Corpus FellowA Fellow of Corpus was one of two Oxford academics elected to join one of America’s most prestigioushonorary societies and centre for independent policy research.

John (Jas) Elsner, Humfry Payne Senior Research Fellow in Classical Art and Archaeology and director ofthe Centre for Greek and Roman Antiquity at Corpus Christi College and H. Charles Godfray, HopeProfessor of Entomology at Jesus College were inducted into The American Academy of Arts & Sciencesat a ceremony in Cambridge, Massachussets on 10 October.

The American Academy elects its Fellowship from a global pool of scholars, scientists, jurists, writers,artists, civic, corporate and philanthropic leaders from eleven countries. The current membershipincludes more than 250 Nobel laureates and more than 60 Pulitzer Prize winners.

The Academy, established in 1780, undertakes studies of complex and emerging problems. Currentprojects focus on science, technology and global security; social policy and American institutions; thehumanities and culture; and education. The Academy’s membership of scholars and practitioners frommany disciplines and professions gives it a unique capacity to conduct a wide range of interdisciplinary,long-term policy research.

Professor Elsner said he was both ‘surprised and delighted’ to receive the honour.

The Lincoln Bicentennial at Oxford

As part of the bicentennial celebrations surrounding thebirth of Abraham Lincoln, College President-elect RichardCarwardine and History Tutor Jay Sexton hosted aninternational conference on Lincoln and his legacy thisJuly at St Catherine’s College. This project was madepossible by the support of the University of Oxford, theAbraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission, the AbrahamLincoln Presidential Library Foundation, the ChicagoHistory Museum, the Gilder Lehrman Institute and theU.S. Embassy in London. Jay Sexton, Fellow and Tutorin American History, writes on the conference.

Abraham Lincoln remains a global icon two-hundred years after his birth. As America’s sixteenthpresident, Lincoln steered his nation through thefiery trial of civil war and the destruction of slavery.Since then he has been an inspiration and politicalsymbol for peoples and leaders across the world.Gordon Brown borrowed Lincoln’s memorableappeal ‘to the better angels of our nature’ in hisspeech accepting leadership of the Labour Party in2007. The besieged former-President PervezMusharraf pointed to Lincoln’s wartime violations ofcivil liberties as precedent for his declaration of astate of emergency in Pakistan last year.

No recent politician has drawn upon Lincoln morethan the newly elected president of the UnitedStates, Barack Obama. Like Lincoln, Obama startedhis political career in Illinois (a state that refers toitself as ‘the Land of Lincoln’) and ran for thenation’s highest office with a thin resume in nationalpolitics. Obama launched his presidential bid on thesteps of the Old State Capital where Lincoln oncewarned his countrymen that ‘a house divided againstitself cannot stand.’ Obama peppered his speecheswith references to his fellow Illinoisian and recentlytook the Presidential oath on the bible used byLincoln in 1861 (a bible which happened to beprinted here in Oxford by OUP in 1853).

These recent invocations of Lincoln are not new.Perhaps more than any other American figure,Lincoln became after his death a global figure whospoke to peoples across the world. As the BritishPrime Minister David Lloyd George put it, Lincoln‘lost his nationality in death.’

Lincoln’s political principles, his record ofsuccessful executive leadership in wartime, his roleas the ‘Great Emancipator’, his resolute defence ofpopular government, and the perception of him asan exemplar of human brotherhood made him aninternational cult figure. Karl Marx judged him‘the single-minded son of the working class’; Cubanrebels invoked his name in support of their strugglefor emancipation and self-government; Tolstoyreported his fame in the Caucasus; Tomas Masaryk,the first president of Czechoslovakia, drew strength

as ‘the Lincoln of Central Europe’; racially-mixed,republican ‘Lincoln brigades’ fought in the SpanishCivil War.

Leading scholars from around the globe convenedat Oxford to explore the many dimensions ofLincoln’s international legacy. The Global Lincolnconference brought together specialists to share theways peoples in different regions and time periodshave viewed Lincoln, as well as the ways they haveexploited his image for their own purposes.

The Global Lincoln conference was one of the firstof its kinds, a fact noted by Professor Carwardine.‘It’s extraordinary that for all the books written onAbraham Lincoln, who is more studied than anyhistorical figure except Jesus Christ, we know solittle about his international reception and legacy.Yet he gave universal significance to the Americanfounders’ ideals and regarded the American Unionas the last best hope of earth. Our conferencebrings together some of the world’s best historiansto explore the multiple and often contradictoryways in which Lincoln has been celebrated andappropriated outside his own land.’

President-elect Carwardine is one of the world’sleading authorities on Abraham Lincoln. His recentbiography, Lincoln: A Life of Purpose and Power, wasawarded the prestigious Lincoln prize in Americanhistory in 2004. This February Carwardine traveledto Illinois where he received The Order of Lincoln,the highest honour awarded by the State of Illinois.The Order is traditionally only awarded to thosefrom Illinois but this bicentennial year was awardedto around 30 people with Lincoln connections – ofwhom Professor Carwardine was the only non-American.

Professor Carwardine said: ‘Naturally, I amdelighted by the award. It’s not only an honour,from a state that has come to mean much to me inrecent years, but it makes yet another Lincolnianconnection with Oxford - going back, as we’verecently been reminded, to Lincoln’s presidentialswearing-in on an OUP Bible.’

Dr Sexton, who researches American foreignrelations, said: ‘Lincoln has emerged as animportant political symbol, not only in the US butalso across the world. As Obama has drawninspiration and power from Lincoln, so too have anarray of world leaders, from across the politicalspectrum. Lincoln’s recent global celebrity isnothing new. Time and again leaders and ordinarypeople alike have invoked him - not only becausehe is an example of certain political ideals, butbecause he has proven to be an enduring andpowerful political symbol.’

Fellow and Tutor in Law Lucia Zedner has beenawarded a grant from the Arts and HumanitiesResearch Council (AHRC) to pursue a three-yearresearch project entitled ‘Preventive Justice’. WithProfessor Andrew Ashworth (All Souls), ProfessorZedner will consider what principles and valuesshould guide and limit the state’s use of coercivemeasures designed to prevent harm. The full cost ofthe project, £509,000, was provided by the AHRCand the project will commence on 1 March 2010.Professor Zedner has kindly provided the followingproject summary.

There are good reasons for permitting the stateto authorize the use of coercion to protect thepublic from harm. Preventive measures permitthe police to intervene before an offence hasbeen committed and the courts to incapacitatethose who pose a danger to society. They permitstate intervention at an early stage before theharm eventuates and may even have a deterrenteffect upon prospective perpetrators. Yet theycarry the risk of rendering unlawful conductwhich would otherwise be lawful and ofpermitting premature intervention andpotentially oppressive and intrusive measuresthat erode individual liberties.

Recent years have witnessed a remarkableproliferation of preventive measures that alterthe parameters of criminal liability and blur thehistoric division between the criminal and civillaw, allowing the civil law to be used forcriminal law purposes but without theprotections normally provided to defendants.Not only is the ambit of preparatory offencesbeing extended, but new legal forms are beingdeveloped in the name of prevention. The mostimportant of these is a new species of hybrid or‘two-step’ measure, imposed in civil proceedingsbut backed by severe criminal sanctions forbreach. Insofar as civil preventive measures areburdensome in ways analogous to punishment,or render those subject to them liable topunishment on breach, then adequatejustification and principled limits to theirdeployment are needed if they are not to inflictpunishment under the guise that it is ‘justprevention’.

These developments demand more systematicattention than they have been given. Whilstmuch has been written about criminal law,criminal justice and punishment, little attention

has yet been paid to the question of preventivejustice (save in emergency situations and inrespect of exceptional powers introduced tocounter terrorism). This project will rectify thisomission by examining the theoreticalunderpinnings, aims, and justification ofpreventive justice in order to formulate limitingprinciples or a jurisprudence of ‘justprevention’.

In co-authored articles, chapters, a book and aco-edited volume we will examine theprevention of harm as a social good andexplore the politics of risk and prevention. Wewill examine the recent shift from retrospectivepolicing and punishment toward prospectiveintervention by exploring the emergence of apreventive politics and a growing array ofpreventive measures introduced in the name ofsecurity. We will analyse the expansion ofliability for preparatory offences and theproliferation of civil, and hybrid civil-criminal,preventive measures. We will establish whatjustifies preventive measures and what limitsought to be placed upon them in order todistinguish the preventive measures moreclearly from those that are in fact punitive.

To the extent that these preventivedevelopments blur the civil-criminal divide theyinvite scholarly attention to the changingcharacter of criminal justice; the appropriateboundary between civil and criminal; and thepossible emergence of a legal middle groundand new legal forms. Inviting criminal lawyersfrom different jurisdictions, civil procedurescholars, legal theorists, and philosophers tocontribute to two workshops on these andrelated issues will stimulate cross-disciplinaryinteraction and invite critical reflection onimportant questions that sit at the margins ofcriminal, regulatory and civil law and yet whichaffect liberty. Convening a third workshop ofpolicy makers will ensure their input and add avital policy dimension to the project. Theobjective is to provide an account of theprinciples and values that should guide andlimit the state’s use of various preventivetechniques that involve coercion, and thereby tostimulate more focussed debate in fields ofstudy relating to the civil-criminal divide, risk,security and the control of ‘anti-socialbehaviour’.

The MBI Al Jaber Building – Corpus’ New Auditorium

The lecture theatre is the most significantaddition to the main site of the college since the1700s. The new lecture theatre, situated in thesouth-west corner of the College, replaces thesmaller New Music Room (NMR) of the 1980s.It affords twice as much space and opportunityas its predecessor.

The brief was a challenging one: to construct amodern building sympathetic to thearchitecture and feel of a 16th-century Oxfordcollege. Without flinching from modernity, RickMather Associates provided a design which is asynthesis of the traditional and the new. Thebuilding is incorporated into the ancient citywalls and both preserves and accents originalfeatures such as the arrow-slots and bastion. Therooftop terrace features a garden for quiet study, which affords a beautiful view across Christ ChurchMeadow to the river. The building has also received a boost in prestige following the unveiling ofMather’s impressive work on the Ashmolean Museum.

Students are also greatly looking forward toputting the building to extra-curricular use.Until now, talented student musicians andactors have not had a proper venue forconcerts and recitals or dramatic productions.The lack of a theatre has not diminished theirachievments, but it has meant students mustuse outside facilities. As a home for drama andmusic, the lecture theatre offers anunprecedented performance space within theCollege, and has already been used to greateffect since its opening in July.

With a maximum capacity of 130, and modularseating allowing for various smaller events, thelecture theatre’s versatility will enable Corpus

to bring its current programme of lectures ‘in-house’. It is also a certainty that the availability of this newfacility will inspire a dynamic expansion in this area. The design also incorporates two seminar rooms (agreat addition to a College where teaching space is at a premium) which will also serve as ‘break-out’rooms for conferences and meetings.

The Governing Body has decided to name the new quadbetween the Rainolds Room and the auditorium theTurner Quad after Thomas Turner, Scholar 1663, Fellow1677 and President 1687-1714. It is no small tribute;President Turner personally paid for the construction ofthe Fellows Buildings in the early 1700s, and it was hisgift of a collection of Dutch portolan nautical charts thatprovided £1.5m of the necessary funding to constructthe building.

An architectural appreciation of the new building byAdrian Tinniswood will appear in this December’s issueof the Pelican Record.

Corpus Ranked 4th in Norrington TableThis summer, Corpus undergraduates earned 24 Firsts, 32 2.1s and 6 2.2s, placing the College fourth inthe Norrington Table of Oxford colleges with a score of 73.55. This is the College's best performance inboth relative and absolute terms for a number of years.

The last time Corpus was in the Top 5 of the Table was in 1999, when the College was again in 4th place,but with a score of 68.18. This result shows that competition from other colleges is strong, but also thatCorpus is steadily improving.

And All That JazzThe MBI Al Jaber Building was host to an evening of jazz music in aid of local charities on 27 November.Emily Barritt (2007) organised RAGtime, featuring some of the most talented jazz musicians at Corpus, toraise funds for the Oxford Gatehouse and Helen Douglas House. The event raised over £250 for bothcauses, and over 70 students, Fellows and old members within the Oxford area were present for a veryenjoyable evening.

Corpus Student on Winning Oxford LawMoot TeamOn 22 February 2009, the University of Oxford won the fiftieth annual White & Case United KingdomPhilip C Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition, the largest mooting competition in theworld. Katie Johnson, a second year Law student at Corpus Christi, alongside Daniel Baker (HarrisManchester), Ailene Chou (University) Richard Hoyle (Brasenose) and Lynn Yu (Exeter) won all six oftheir competition moots, culminating in a succesful Grand Final against University College London,judged by a panel of seven leading international lawyers, chaired by Lord Bingham. This places theOxford team ahead of nineteen other teams drawn from both universities and Inns of Court throughoutthe UK, and marks the second consecutive victory of the team in the UK Championships.
