Te role Ken played in tackling the financial pressures facingCollege in the 1990s was discussed his active interest in thefinancial health of the College which sustained once Pembroke

was back on a robust footing Further Ken was instrumentalin establishing the Development Office in 1985 recognisingthe vital role philanthropic giving had to play in the Collegersquosfinancial security

Further tribute was paid to Kenrsquos role in creating the VisitingStudent Programme his input led to the model becomingendorsed as best practice across the Collegiate University

Dame Lynne concluded her speech by focusing on what wasarguably Kenrsquos greatest contribution as a utorial FellowldquoGenerations of Pembrokians have benefited from his consummateteaching skills ineffable supply of irreverent anecdotes and acerbicallywitty reflections humanising economics in most memorable waysrdquo

Professor Ewart Keep spoke primarily of Kenrsquos contributionsoutside Collegersquos jurisdiction ldquoFor the last 15 years we have run anESRC-funded research centre togetherhellip If I was asked to identifyone thing that has kept u s together it is mutual pe ssimismrdquo ProfessorKeep listed Kenrsquos many publications (books monographsreports chapters articles etc) before going on to talk about thedifferent facets of Kenrsquos work Amongst Kenrsquos former studentsProfessor Keep made reference to Ed Balls David MilibandMaria Eagle and current permanent secretaries at BIS and HM

He went on to discuss Kenrsquos editorial work establishing theOxford Review of Economic Policy and his work with variousUniversity-led committees He drew p articular attention to Kenrsquos

work with the Moser Committee on the Future of ManagementStudies in Oxford and his position as Committee Chair at theOxford School of Management both which contributed to theformation of the Saiumld Business School estament was paid toKenrsquos leadership at SKOPE but also his work outside academia ndashas Economics Director of the National Economic DevelopmentOffice and as c onsultant to the Director of Economics at the CBI

Professor Whitefield who worked closely with Ken for overtwenty years started by declaring ldquoI believe you will agree thatKen has been the most influential and important Fellowhellip by dint ofhis brains ability to make strong arguments his willingness to stand for things he believes in even if the y are sometimes unpopularhellip andof course his sense of humourrdquo He went on to point out that ldquoKenalways thought that the life of an academic ndash not just the job ndash wasabout balancing various public commitments research ndash certainlybut connected to real and important problems teaching ndashespeciallyat the undergraduate level and in which economics was an educationnot just in mathematics and models but in the moral and politicalchoices that economics should engage and in service to the academiccommunity and beyond as a public intellectualrdquo

Warm tes timony wa s paid to Kenrsquos exceptional dedication asa utor and the very high esteem in which he was held by hisformer students Various recollections were shared and manyspoke of Kenrsquos dry humour and unorthodox approach arguablybest summed by the following

ldquoKen was undoubtedly the best teacher I have ever had embodyingin his twilight cigarette-perfumed irreverent seminars the idealof the Oxford academic Tat was chiefly what I went up toOxford hoping to experience and in Kenrsquos sessions I got exactlywhat I came forrdquo

So thirty years on from when I first arrived what do I feel aboutthis enduring collection of Cotswold stone gently warmedby a glorious October sun in Chapel Quad imbued with theexcitement of Freshersrsquo week

ldquoI may be biased but Pembroke is awesomerdquo

ACADEMIC REPORT DR MARK FRICKER ACADEMIC DIRECTOR

Before I finally float away back to theLab on convolving clouds of gentlyundulating ideas reluctantly forsakingthe excitement of the AcademicDirectorship the gossamer tethers ofincipient reality have snagged on anuncomfortable truth We are bottomof the Norrington Again

Tat is not to take away from some

applause-worthy achievements onan individual level this year Once

again a Pembroke student was awarded a James Mew Prize withPatrick Kenny winning in the Junior Category for OutstandingPerformance in Arabic Language papers Hugo Kent-Egan

was awarded the GlaxoSmithKline Prize in Practical OrganicChemistry Nathalie Kantaris Diaz was awarded the Mrs ClaudeBeddington Prize for Outstanding Performance in ItalianPreliminary Examinations and Huai Jun Ku Alice Mingay andHelena Sutcliffe were awarded prestigious Gibbs Prizes Also

worthy of mention is Elisabetta Ronchi for her p erformance inthe Chemistry Second Year Examinations As a Fellowship we

welcomed Professor Guy Kahane as our new utor and Fellowin Philosophy and also my successor as Academic DirectorNancy Braithwaite

Nonetheless at the recent strategic away-day the collectiveintellectual lens focused Occamrsquos razor sliced and diced datanumbers were crunched scrunched and ground into submissionall in search of a rational e xplanation and a much more importantsolution However the fragments of causality a re strewn far across

the academic landscape and will need considerable forensicarchaeology to reconstruct a consistent narrative

So we could ritually sacrifice a scapegoat to exorcise the malaiseafflicting the College ndash the usual suspects are certainly wellrepresented in the roguesrsquo gallery this year ndash but the mood of theFellowship was far more resolute ndash we go back to core values basedon a personal tutorial model fired by scholarship Te culture ofthe College has to shift to innovation inspiration and success

We can achieve this Te College has been demonstrablysuccessful over the last decade in every domain exceptundergraduate performance We have pioneered a sophisticateddeep access scheme that is on the verge of being adopted by theUniversity as a model of g ood practice Te US Visiting StudentScheme is the gold-standard across all Colleges for delivering anintegrated academically driven programme Te new graduatescholarship programme has bounded forward like an enthusiasticpuppy straining at the leash attracting a wealth of talentedand highly international graduates We now have a wonderfulcomplex of fully-functional facilities extensively committed toteaching and research already hosting a swathe of high-profileconferences and lectures We have successfully competed forexternal research grants and philanthropic donations to supportboth individual stellar early career researchers and internationallyrecognised research centres All this is underpinned by tightfinancial management and governance and visible through thenew vibrant informative and relevant website

Te next decade culminates in the 400th anniversary of theCollege Te Statutes summarise our purpose well but do

A NEED FOR FOCUS

not capture the urgency of our increased determination andmotivation to raise the ambition and profile of the College

Te College Statutes state Te College is an historic foundationdedicated to serve the common good through the provision ofeducation and the promotion of scholarship and research

We have talented students but we need to excite more intellectualfire Tat is the chal lenge set before each Subject utor to deliver

In September the College held a party for Mark who characteristically wanted it to be an informal inclusive affair for all ofthe Pembroke Community It gave us the opportunity to celebrate his extraordinary contribution to the College as AcademicDirector and of course to evoke fond memories and photos from the some thirty-four years that he has been associated withPembroke

Along with Professor Mugglestone Mark is now our longest serving Fellow coming to Pembroke in 1989 havingcompleted his PhD at Stirling University His association with Pembroke goes back much further to his matriculation as anundergraduate in 1981

It has been my great fortune to have worked with Mark over my first two years as Master I know that I share with GilesHenderson a great admiration for him in his role as Academic Director and as an extraordinary colleague His strategiccapabilities and his ability to handle complexity and come up with creative solutions are second to none Te Collegersquos

Academic Strategy development owes an enormous amount to Mark He has held up the torch for excellence in research andthe importance of Colleges for nurturing interdisciplinarity and this will be one of his principal legacies

DEFINING THE CIVIL

STATE IN EGYPT

Te theme of this seminar held in March and convened byProfessor Stephen Whitefield Fellow in Politics Dr ElisabethKendall Senior Research Fellow in Arabic and Dr MazenHassan (Cairo University) explored the relationship betweenreligion and politics and how both are coming to the fore innew ways as Egyptian political parties embark upon democraticcompetition for votes

Prior to the Arab Spring there was a long held view thatdemocracy cannot really flourish in a predominantly Muslim

society Te first three years of post-Arab Spring Egyptprovided an excellent opportunity to unearth many of thearguments and counter-arguments surrounding this and otherviews Te seminar group also questioned the ways in whichreligion and religiosity impact on how citizens makechoices about parties and discussed how parties engage withrepresentative institutions and with the law

Te seminar was organised into four panels to explore these issuesand was designed to bring together a broad range of thinkers andperspectives to engage in evidence-based and reasoned dialogueTe keynote address was delivered by His Grace Bishop AngaelosHead of the Coptic Orthodox Church in the UK

SPORTS REPORT

Watching Pembrokersquos sporting yearunfold was a bit like following imHenman during his Wimbledon glorydays ndash so much hope and expectation atthe outset but ultimate disappointmentby the end Tis is not to say it wasnrsquot asuccessful season on many fronts fromPembrokersquos sportsmen and womenbut the Collegersquos teams did manage todevelop an uncanny knack of finishingrunners up in Cuppers competitionsthat is perhaps unprecedented in recentyears

Without doubt the most successful sportthis year was football with both menrsquosand womenrsquos teams dominating theirrespective leagues and being crownedchampions with time to spa re Te menrsquos

team often inspired by top scorer Alexsaptsinos reached the Cuppers finalbefore being cruelly beaten by Balliol

with the womenrsquos side unfortunatelyalso falling at the final hurdle in theirCuppers competition Special mentionsshould go to womenrsquos scoring sensation

Jacqueline Gallo and menrsquos recordappearance holder Michael Joseph

Pembroke also added a second placefinish in Sailing with a Richard Baugh-inspired Rugby team falling just shortin the Cuppers plate competition andthe netball team amazingly avoidedrelegation thanks to a late surge fromKenny Dada and co

However perhaps the most satisfyingaspect of Pembrokersquos sporting season

was the array of talent amongst anenergetic bunch of Freshers who willundoubtedly secure success in years tocome Te enthusiasm of the Collegersquosnewest intake was best shown by thesheer array of competitions enteredby Pembroke teams this year whichincluded not only the usual suspectssuch as hockey tennis and darts butalso ultimate frisbee trampoliningand cheerleading to boot IndeedPembrokersquos unwavering ability to lsquohavea go at anythingrsquo was best embodied bythe enigmatic duo of Laurence Wroeand Nathan Wragg who demonstratedan unparalleled ability to compete in

just about any sport that exists

Off the field this year saw theawarding of the inaugural JCR Sports

Motivated to continue the hard work of our preceding Chairsand inspired by the potential of my new platform as JCR

Womenrsquos Rep I set about generating new enthusiasm andengagement with Pembrokersquos feminist discussions ogether

with the support of Emily Annand Sarah Wilmshurst andcommitted Social Secretaries James Richardson and Olivia Porter

we introduced newly structured ha lf-hour meetings which v isiblyincreased attendance Organising a wide variety of discussionsincluding the Ched Evans case sexism at work and Game ofTrones ensured Pembrokians had a regular chance to engage withkey theoretical and topical issues

Peminists has always emphasised the importance of acceptanceengagement and learning Our ethos meant many students simplyturned up to listen to other opinions and voices reporting they

attended because Peminists is an unusually approachable non-judgemental and inclusive forum Our discussions were brightened

and energised by record numbers of attendees in particular male students contributing to a diverse range of conversations

Early in Michaelmas term we chose to support charity Plan UK and their Because I Am a Girl campaign by taking part in aFace Up initiative Students were photographed with the phrase Irsquom putting girlsrsquo rights where they canrsquot be ignored digitally writtenon their faces adding to thousands of othersrsquo photos breaking the silence on violence against girls around the world Ourparticipation was picked up by the Oxford Mail who featured the story

During rinity term Sandra Ahmaya came to College to speak and host a Peminists QampA As an active feminist and campaignerfor womenrsquos rights based in Makerere University Uganda she spoke to us about FGM sexual assault and gender discrimination

within her University It felt very special to be reaching out to inspirational feminist students from beyond Oxford and the session was my personal highlight of chairi ng Peminists I rea lly canrsquot wait to see what the future holds for our new chair Ronni a s wecontinue to make the fight for gender equality a key pillar of our Collegersquos undergraduate ethos

ACCESSING PEMBROKETe Pembroke Access strategy continues to grow In narrowrecruitment terms it now affects about 9 of ourapplications across a range of subjects although we have yetto see a Finalist come through However as I write we nowhave five Hub Schools (in Hammersmith and FulhamGreater Manchester and South Cheshire) acting as aconduit to many linked schools in those areas and we are

working in pa rtnership with a large number of universities andthird-sector organisations We continue to work most intenselyin South Cheshire East Manches ter Hackney Westminster andmost recently Wigan

At the end of a period of public funding by Te London SchoolsExcellence Fund (provided by Te Mayor of London andthe Department for Education) the London Centre forLanguages and Cultures (LCLC) moved from Hammersmithto Westminster Academy Te LCLC is about to be joined by

a counterpart in Manchester and continues to enjoy the fullsupport of Te Op en University

Te Science Centre in South Cheshire flourishes and has been joined by a Corpus Christi Colle ge sponsored Centre and Hubin central Manchester Tis has allowed us to create a networkserving the whole of the North West Te Teology and ReligiousStudies Centre based in Ashton Sixth Form College Ashton-Under-Lyne continues to be run in close conjunction with anumber of universities including Durham Lancaster Sheffield

and Manchester and it too has joined this network

Last year I expressed the hope that there would be furtheradoption of the Pembroke approach by other Colleges Terecontinues to be an increased number of Colleges that are

indeed working along the sa me lines and the University have nowrecognised this work under the collective banner of OxNet

Finally Irsquod like the thank the JCR who have pledged to givepound10000 to access initiatives in College Further two membersof the JCR designed Pembroke paper pads that were sold to raiseadditional funds for Access work

Charlie Harris Deputy Home Bursar ldquoI first met Matt 11 years ago but onlyreally got to know him when I joined Pembroke in 2006 Straight away we hit a bondndash sport Monday mornings would always consist of lengthy discussions whether it beabout Wolves FC Gloucester Rugby England cricke t Hersquod always enquire ab out myown contributions to the cricket score if I was playing for my local team and I haveto admit sometimes I didnrsquot tell him the whole truth as I know the abuse Irsquod receive

for the next few d ayshellipIt just wasnrsquot worth it As a work colleague Matt was anunsung hero here at College He wouldhelp anybody do the jobs that no oneelse wanted to do never moan (much)but come 10am everything stopped hersquodmake a cup of tea and make his way toldquoMattrsquos steprdquo on Staircase 7 where hersquod

But Matt wasnrsquot just a workcolleague he was a true friend and not

just to me but to a ll of Pembroke a nd tothe wider Community You are very sadlymissed Mattrdquo

Tis year has been a year for change acrossall of the domestic operation changesto the way we work the way we procuregoods and services and most importantlyhow we support academic life in College

We st arted the year by listening to theCollege community and tried to matchaspirations and good ideas to our resourcesand priorities Many of our students asked

us to provide a space where they couldsocialise but which was defined as analcohol-free zone So we opened FarthingsCafeacute until 10pm on four nights a weekand extended hours at the weekends ndash

this means that it is now open seven daysa week during term Tis provides a firstclass social and work space for all of theCollege community and feedback hasbeen extremely positive

We also listened to the revitalised StudentFood Committee some wanted morecarbs some wanted less carbs some wantedflexibility around when they needed toattend Formal Hall and others just wantedto feedback what was the most popularmenu amongst the student body KevinDudley Executive Chef has spent hoursre-designing menu choices and working

with our kitchen brigade to respond tothese (and other) requests to the effectthat feedback has improved dramaticallyover the year Te implementation of asystem whereby a designated chef cooks

meals for those with dietary demands hasalso helped cater for those students whohave specific requirements or allergiesNext term we are sitting down with the

JCR to try and develop a more flexiblesystem around Formal Hall ndash particularlyduring exam season

Tis year we really got our act togetheron the Summer Ball and the studentcommittee made sure that they delivereda fantastic event (one which made a tidyprofit for charity ndash Save the Children beingthe chosen benefactor) We changed what

we used to do ma de new areas availableand ensured that student organisers had

staff mentors they could turn to for adviceon any particular aspect

Students told us they want to stay longerin College at the end of terms and thisyear every student who requested tostay up at the end of rinity erm ndash foracademic reasons ndash was accommodated

We managed this by seeking out externalevents that were academic related or access

focused and which would dovetail easilyaround students continuing to study

2014 ndash 2015 was the busiest conferenceseason ever and yet we still managed tosqueeze in four wedding ceremonies andall the standard functions the Collegeenjoys

We also listened to Fellows and Alumniabout our guest rooms and we havestarted a rolling refurbishment programmeto freshen up the rooms we have TeMustard Room benefited not only froma new bathroom new furniture and fullredecoration but also the hanging of thebeautiful Hugh Casson watercolourskindly donated by Philip Jagger (1949)

Last year I reported that the Collegersquos financial positionreflected the impact of the additional income and costs relating tothe new buildings becoming fully operational Tis year we havemade good progress in refining this new way of working Tebusiness case established for the programme of works madecertain assu mptions about the additional income and costs which

would re sult f rom the expanded operations a nd it is pleasingto note that overall those assumptions have been validated bythe actual experience In particular the level of our conferencebusiness has continued to build and Pembroke is now one of

the more active Oxford Colleges in this area with a growingreputation

In what was essentially a year of financial consolidation thefinancial results of the College in 2014-15 were very satisfactory

otal incoming resources decreased by pound03m to pound112m Tisdecrease was primarily due to a reduction in donations which atpound19m were pound09m lower than the previous year as capital pledgesto the Bridging Centuries Campaign continued to be paid downsteadily and tailed off However it was good to see that the levelof revenue donations picked up

Te underlying increase in operating income reflectedbuoyant numbers of graduate students the high levels ofconference income and increased investment income reflectingthe growth in the Collegersquos long term investment portfolio duelargely to the rise of stock markets in recent years Te Collegeis reliant upon the income drawn down from the long terminvestment portfolio and this year the total return was 87

which was well above the benchmark target of 5

On the cost side total resources expended reduced by pound04m topound105m but it should be noted that there w as an e xceptional itemin last yearrsquos figures and after adjusting for this there was a small

increase of pound02m which reflects a tight control of costs after theincrease seen in the previous year when the additional resources

were required

So once again at the operating level the Collegersquos financialresults exceeded both the budget and the position anticipatedin our Strategic Plan which is very satisfactory although theoutcome was helped by higher than planned numbers ofgraduate students and the fact that there were some unfilledpermanent academic posts for reasons beyond the Collegersquoscontrol However it should be noted that the net movement infunds for the year of pound07m was slightly behind budget as there

were very few new capital donations above those already pledgedto the Bridging Centuries Campaign and other purposes

be made available to redevelop our Lodge at the same timeas gently sloping the Old Quad to provide level access toChapel Quad

Te detailed design provided by our architects Ridgeand Partners LLP came up with a solution for a spaciousnew Lodge using a ground floor room on Staircase Oneand opening it up to the main entrance of the CollegeBoth English Heritage and the local Conservation Officer

were consulted and all nec essary consents were gra ntedTe work was carried out concurrently with that ofthe levelling of Old Quad Contractors Benfield andLoxley started work during the Easter Vacation requiringthe Samuel Johnson Building to be used as a temporaryentrance and Lodge and the Porters were able to moveinto their new home in August

Tis new space offers a wide and open counter soseveral people can be looked after at the same time some

welcome seating in the wa iting area and more spac e forthe equipment needed for a modern Lodge to operateeffectively Te old Lodge has been converted to house thepigeon holes with additional storage space for our ever-increasing parcel deliveries raditional materials wereused throughout and the style of the joinery echoes that

of the new buildings which makes for an interestingconnection between the oldest and newest parts ofthe College

Consolidated Balance Sheet as at 31 July 2015

The gures shown are extracted from the Collegersquos statutory audited accounts for the year ended 31 st July 2015

The nancial statements were approved by the Governing Body on 2 nd December 2015 and have been posted on the Collegersquos website

With net incoming resources of pound07m and an investment ga in of pound27m the balance of the Colle gersquos funds rose by pound34mto pound744m

urning to the Collegersquos balance sheet there was l ittle change as tangible fixed a ssets reduced by pound08 m principally as a resultof a depreciation charge of pound12m Securities and other investments rose by pound 3m to pound519m due largely to a n increase in thevalue of investments of pound27m After deducting the long term creditors of pound141m which relates primarily to the Bank loantaken out to fund the balance of the new buildings and quadrangle the Collegersquos net funds were pound744m

Looking forward there are some threats to the current stabilit y of the Collegersquos finances for reasons beyond our control Sincethe introduction in 2012 of the new tuition fee for homeEU undergraduate students which is shared between the Universityand Colleges there has been no increase in its amount and the latest indications are that it will only be from 2017 that aninflation linking will be introduced Recently it was announced that the Collegiate University will lose some research and

special institutions funding As much has already been done to increase other sources of income notably conference andinvestment income this means it will be a challenge for the College to sustain its current level of income in real terms

Tere is also pressure on the cost side as employersrsquo national insurance and pension contributions are rising significantly which will adversely affect t he Collegersquos salar y bill which acc ounts for about half of our cost ba se We are therefore facingthe prospect of a squeeze on our profitability which underlines the critical need to continue to raise revenue donations tosupport our operations and capital donations for future major refurbishments and to build up further the CollegersquosEndowment which in turn will generate additional investment income

Against the background of the uncertainties relating to external funding Governing Body has decided to defer thefinalisation of its next Strategic Pla n for a year but in the meantime a short term plan c overing the period 2015ndash18 will be putin place to provide a framework for a range of current initiatives which wil l include a keen focus on cost effectiveness and ourplans to seek further financial support from the Collegersquos alumni and other supporters

have the same experiences as I had in Oxford

The development of arts and sciences has been

sustained by philanthropic spirit ndash history teaches

us that many great artists and scientists enjoyed

generous patronage By supporting Pembroke

ldquoPembroke nurtured my ability to work under pressure

and excel under challenging circumstances I give to

College because of its enduring commitment to widening

access and providing a well-rounded student experience

Whilst at Pembroke I beneted enormously from nancial assistance

funded by generous support from donors This made a profound

difference to my university experience and gave me the opportunity

to participate fully in College life I delight in being part of any drive

to maintain that tradition rdquo

ldquoPembroke means a great deal to both of us

both individually and as a couple It provides the

backdrop for so many important aspects of our

lives ndash not least the sense of belonging that being

part of the College community brings and needless

to say we have especially happy memories of our

wedding in the College Chapel

Donating to Pembroke for us at least means giving

something back to help ensure that current and future generations of

Pembrokians have a similarly positive experience Aruna is particularly

keen to support the Access initiatives as he rst considered applying

to Oxford after visiting Pembroke as part of one of these eventsrdquo

of my life The College was a source of support

intellectual stimulation and laughter while I

completed my course and lled my life with incredible

of excellence and can give Professor X (Sir Patrick Stewart) a proper

welcome when he nally visits his alma materrdquo

He was sent to what was then a harsh Edinburgh prepschool then on to Wellington where he flourished in itsrelatively liberal atmosphere winning a scholarship to ChristChurch in 1942

He went up to Pembroke for the Michaelmas erm 1944to read Jurisprudence under the Admiralty Y Scheme whereby potential officers could spend six months atuniversity combining academic study and naval training Hiscontemporary Roff Rayner (1944) said ldquoIt was a strange timein blacked out Oxford with Pembroke largely occupied by theMinistry of Agriculture and only a score or so undergraduatesNevertheless it was enough to give an idea of what Universitylife might be like On demobilisation in 1947 Walter returnedto Pembroke with enthusiasmrdquo

Walter wrote ldquo[I] seized the opportunity to enjoy theactivities on offer there rightly anticipating that such a chance would not come again [I] played the violin in the OxfordOrchestra and the orchestras of the Opera and Music Clubsand was a member of the Pembroke College Quartet which wasinvited to perform in a Sunday evening Balliol College concert

But when all is said and done Walter was a family manHis marriage to Shirley was a good and sustaining one Of ittouchingly but perceptively he said this

ldquo[I] married Shirley in 1957 and we celebrated 57 yearstogetherhellip thanks to her good care and cooking hard workand common senserdquo

hat progress was accomplished largely by selling theUniversity Heights campus in the Bronx closing the engineeringschool paring full-time faculty positions merging graduateand undergraduate business programs cutting intercollegiatecompetition in baseball football and basketball and requiringvarious components of the university including the school ofsocial work to pay their own way

At the same time Dr Hester raised academic standards andfielded recruiters to reverse a decline in out-of-town students

Dr Hester once explained that he wound up in highereducation almost by accident During the American militaryoccupation of Japan he worked as a civilian supervising schoolsBut even as a self-described ldquoprofessional administratorrdquo heemerged as a national presence

He headed a White House task force on higher education thatin 1970 recommended an expansion of federal scholarshipsa larger commitment to black colleges grants to graduateschools and tax incentives to encourage private contributions

to universitiesLike other college presidents he contended with campus unrest

which brought unwelcome attention Until he qualified hissupport for the war in Vietnam by urging Americarsquos withdrawal assoon as possible he had been assailed by campus protesters

After the invasion of Cambodia and the fatal shooting byNational Guardsmen of four students during an anti-warprotest at Kent State University in Ohio in 1970 Dr Hester wrote an impassioned appeal to President Richard Nixonto ldquoconsider the incalculable dangers of an unprecedentedalienation of Americarsquos youthrdquo and to ldquoend the war quicklyrdquoIt was signed by the presidents of 37 colleges and universities

He also lamented the lack of social contact between blacksand whites who had reached comparable educational levels andpresciently warned of the depersonalizing impact of technology

When Bernard retired he was livi ng in a semi-rural villageoutside Solihull Here he enjoyed tennis and bridge with localfriends ndash as well as defeating ever encroaching local planningapplications

Not being content to remain anywhere for long he wasever on the move golfing and skiing holidaying with friendscalling on cousins in Perthshire and relaxing in Porthcawl

where with his sister Anne he had developed a shared secondhome overlooking the Bristol Channel here he would playgolf attend rugby matches and enjoy the tranquillity of theblue horizons

During his last days he enjoyed the support of his friend Juliaand was lovingly cared for by his sister Anne He leaves manyhappy memories where his comradeship and fun were alwaysto the fore His humour was understated and subtle he dislikedpomposity and would prick it gently where he could He wasparticularly good with children who would look forward tohis visits for his kindliness wry humour and encouragement

Although he set high standards for himself (and his friends)he was always there to help and guide others generous in givingand in his quiet way would go to great lengths to providesupport without ever asking for it himself He was determinedlyindependent often concealing his inner feelings whilst beingthoughtful and considerate for the feelings of others

He is much missed by many as was evident at his memorialservice and will be long remembered with great affection

was back on a robust footing Further Ken was instrumentalin establishing the Development Office in 1985 recognisingthe vital role philanthropic giving had to play in the Collegersquosfinancial security

Further tribute was paid to Kenrsquos role in creating the VisitingStudent Programme his input led to the model becomingendorsed as best practice across the Collegiate University

Dame Lynne concluded her speech by focusing on what wasarguably Kenrsquos greatest contribution as a utorial FellowldquoGenerations of Pembrokians have benefited from his consummateteaching skills ineffable supply of irreverent anecdotes and acerbicallywitty reflections humanising economics in most memorable waysrdquo

Professor Ewart Keep spoke primarily of Kenrsquos contributionsoutside Collegersquos jurisdiction ldquoFor the last 15 years we have run anESRC-funded research centre togetherhellip If I was asked to identifyone thing that has kept u s together it is mutual pe ssimismrdquo ProfessorKeep listed Kenrsquos many publications (books monographsreports chapters articles etc) before going on to talk about thedifferent facets of Kenrsquos work Amongst Kenrsquos former studentsProfessor Keep made reference to Ed Balls David MilibandMaria Eagle and current permanent secretaries at BIS and HM

reasury (before drily noting ldquoPlainly some of them didnrsquot listenvery hard for much of the timerdquo )

He went on to discuss Kenrsquos editorial work establishing theOxford Review of Economic Policy and his work with variousUniversity-led committees He drew p articular attention to Kenrsquos

work with the Moser Committee on the Future of ManagementStudies in Oxford and his position as Committee Chair at theOxford School of Management both which contributed to theformation of the Saiumld Business School estament was paid toKenrsquos leadership at SKOPE but also his work outside academia ndashas Economics Director of the National Economic DevelopmentOffice and as c onsultant to the Director of Economics at the CBI

Professor Whitefield who worked closely with Ken for overtwenty years started by declaring ldquoI believe you will agree thatKen has been the most influential and important Fellowhellip by dint ofhis brains ability to make strong arguments his willingness to stand for things he believes in even if the y are sometimes unpopularhellip andof course his sense of humourrdquo He went on to point out that ldquoKenalways thought that the life of an academic ndash not just the job ndash wasabout balancing various public commitments research ndash certainlybut connected to real and important problems teaching ndashespeciallyat the undergraduate level and in which economics was an educationnot just in mathematics and models but in the moral and politicalchoices that economics should engage and in service to the academiccommunity and beyond as a public intellectualrdquo

Warm tes timony wa s paid to Kenrsquos exceptional dedication asa utor and the very high esteem in which he was held by hisformer students Various recollections were shared and manyspoke of Kenrsquos dry humour and unorthodox approach arguablybest summed by the following

ldquoKen was undoubtedly the best teacher I have ever had embodyingin his twilight cigarette-perfumed irreverent seminars the idealof the Oxford academic Tat was chiefly what I went up toOxford hoping to experience and in Kenrsquos sessions I got exactlywhat I came forrdquo

It was an historic moment for Pembroke this year when Professor Mark Fricker stepped down from his role as Academic Director (a post he held for six years) to re-focus on his research career in Plant Sciences We are delighted howeverthat Mark will continue to be an important part of the Pembroke Community as a Fellow by Special Election

In September the College held a party for Mark who characteristically wanted it to be an informal inclusive affair for all ofthe Pembroke Community It gave us the opportunity to celebrate his extraordinary contribution to the College as AcademicDirector and of course to evoke fond memories and photos from the some thirty-four years that he has been associated withPembroke

Along with Professor Mugglestone Mark is now our longest serving Fellow coming to Pembroke in 1989 havingcompleted his PhD at Stirling University His association with Pembroke goes back much further to his matriculation as anundergraduate in 1981

It has been my great fortune to have worked with Mark over my first two years as Master I know that I share with GilesHenderson a great admiration for him in his role as Academic Director and as an extraordinary colleague His strategiccapabilities and his ability to handle complexity and come up with creative solutions are second to none Te Collegersquos

Academic Strategy development owes an enormous amount to Mark He has held up the torch for excellence in research andthe importance of Colleges for nurturing interdisciplinarity and this will be one of his principal legacies

SPORTS REPORT

Watching Pembrokersquos sporting yearunfold was a bit like following imHenman during his Wimbledon glorydays ndash so much hope and expectation atthe outset but ultimate disappointmentby the end Tis is not to say it wasnrsquot asuccessful season on many fronts fromPembrokersquos sportsmen and womenbut the Collegersquos teams did manage todevelop an uncanny knack of finishingrunners up in Cuppers competitionsthat is perhaps unprecedented in recentyears

Without doubt the most successful sportthis year was football with both menrsquosand womenrsquos teams dominating theirrespective leagues and being crownedchampions with time to spa re Te menrsquos

team often inspired by top scorer Alexsaptsinos reached the Cuppers finalbefore being cruelly beaten by Balliol

with the womenrsquos side unfortunatelyalso falling at the final hurdle in theirCuppers competition Special mentionsshould go to womenrsquos scoring sensation

Jacqueline Gallo and menrsquos recordappearance holder Michael Joseph

Pembroke also added a second placefinish in Sailing with a Richard Baugh-inspired Rugby team falling just shortin the Cuppers plate competition andthe netball team amazingly avoidedrelegation thanks to a late surge fromKenny Dada and co

However perhaps the most satisfyingaspect of Pembrokersquos sporting season

was the array of talent amongst anenergetic bunch of Freshers who willundoubtedly secure success in years tocome Te enthusiasm of the Collegersquosnewest intake was best shown by thesheer array of competitions enteredby Pembroke teams this year whichincluded not only the usual suspectssuch as hockey tennis and darts butalso ultimate frisbee trampoliningand cheerleading to boot IndeedPembrokersquos unwavering ability to lsquohavea go at anythingrsquo was best embodied bythe enigmatic duo of Laurence Wroeand Nathan Wragg who demonstratedan unparalleled ability to compete in

just about any sport that exists

Motivated to continue the hard work of our preceding Chairsand inspired by the potential of my new platform as JCR

Womenrsquos Rep I set about generating new enthusiasm andengagement with Pembrokersquos feminist discussions ogether

with the support of Emily Annand Sarah Wilmshurst andcommitted Social Secretaries James Richardson and Olivia Porter

we introduced newly structured ha lf-hour meetings which v isiblyincreased attendance Organising a wide variety of discussionsincluding the Ched Evans case sexism at work and Game ofTrones ensured Pembrokians had a regular chance to engage withkey theoretical and topical issues

Peminists has always emphasised the importance of acceptanceengagement and learning Our ethos meant many students simplyturned up to listen to other opinions and voices reporting they

attended because Peminists is an unusually approachable non-judgemental and inclusive forum Our discussions were brightened

and energised by record numbers of attendees in particular male students contributing to a diverse range of conversations

Early in Michaelmas term we chose to support charity Plan UK and their Because I Am a Girl campaign by taking part in aFace Up initiative Students were photographed with the phrase Irsquom putting girlsrsquo rights where they canrsquot be ignored digitally writtenon their faces adding to thousands of othersrsquo photos breaking the silence on violence against girls around the world Ourparticipation was picked up by the Oxford Mail who featured the story

During rinity term Sandra Ahmaya came to College to speak and host a Peminists QampA As an active feminist and campaignerfor womenrsquos rights based in Makerere University Uganda she spoke to us about FGM sexual assault and gender discrimination

within her University It felt very special to be reaching out to inspirational feminist students from beyond Oxford and the session was my personal highlight of chairi ng Peminists I rea lly canrsquot wait to see what the future holds for our new chair Ronni a s wecontinue to make the fight for gender equality a key pillar of our Collegersquos undergraduate ethos

a team of student volunteers I have had the privilege of speakin g to many visitors to the Gallery who have come from all overEngland delighted this important collection has finally been lsquounveiledrsquo

In rinity erm of this year we staged our first temporary exhibition John Bratby and Jean Cooke Who is Slaving at theKitchen Sink Te exhibition was comprised of works loaned from the Royal Academy from Colleges in Oxford and fromgalleries and private collections in London We were delighted to host Dr Greg Salter at the Exhibitionrsquos opening whooffered valuable insight into the tempestuous relationship of the artist-couple John Bratby and Jean Cooke We received anoverwhelmingly positive response to the exhibition from students visitors and in the local press Students in particularexpressed their fondness for one of the exhibitionrsquos key pieces Cinema Paradiso by Jean Cooke o commemorate theexhibition and celebrate our achievement the Art Fund decided to buy Cookersquos painting for this yearrsquos major acquisition

Tere have been other lsquofirstsrsquo behind the scenes most notably our new external volunteers Students from the wider JCR are

ACCESSING PEMBROKETe Pembroke Access strategy continues to grow In narrowrecruitment terms it now affects about 9 of ourapplications across a range of subjects although we have yetto see a Finalist come through However as I write we nowhave five Hub Schools (in Hammersmith and FulhamGreater Manchester and South Cheshire) acting as aconduit to many linked schools in those areas and we are

working in pa rtnership with a large number of universities andthird-sector organisations We continue to work most intenselyin South Cheshire East Manches ter Hackney Westminster andmost recently Wigan

At the end of a period of public funding by Te London SchoolsExcellence Fund (provided by Te Mayor of London andthe Department for Education) the London Centre forLanguages and Cultures (LCLC) moved from Hammersmithto Westminster Academy Te LCLC is about to be joined by

a counterpart in Manchester and continues to enjoy the fullsupport of Te Op en University

Te Science Centre in South Cheshire flourishes and has been joined by a Corpus Christi Colle ge sponsored Centre and Hubin central Manchester Tis has allowed us to create a networkserving the whole of the North West Te Teology and ReligiousStudies Centre based in Ashton Sixth Form College Ashton-Under-Lyne continues to be run in close conjunction with anumber of universities including Durham Lancaster Sheffield

and Manchester and it too has joined this network

Last year I expressed the hope that there would be furtheradoption of the Pembroke approach by other Colleges Terecontinues to be an increased number of Colleges that are

indeed working along the sa me lines and the University have nowrecognised this work under the collective banner of OxNet

Finally Irsquod like the thank the JCR who have pledged to givepound10000 to access initiatives in College Further two membersof the JCR designed Pembroke paper pads that were sold to raiseadditional funds for Access work

DEATHS

It is with great sadness that we report the death of Matthew Morgan (1969 ndash 2015)

Charlie Harris Deputy Home Bursar ldquoI first met Matt 11 years ago but onlyreally got to know him when I joined Pembroke in 2006 Straight away we hit a bondndash sport Monday mornings would always consist of lengthy discussions whether it beabout Wolves FC Gloucester Rugby England cricke t Hersquod always enquire ab out myown contributions to the cricket score if I was playing for my local team and I haveto admit sometimes I didnrsquot tell him the whole truth as I know the abuse Irsquod receive

for the next few d ayshellipIt just wasnrsquot worth it As a work colleague Matt was anunsung hero here at College He wouldhelp anybody do the jobs that no oneelse wanted to do never moan (much)but come 10am everything stopped hersquodmake a cup of tea and make his way toldquoMattrsquos steprdquo on Staircase 7 where hersquod

watch the world go by and chat to all

But Matt wasnrsquot just a workcolleague he was a true friend and not

just to me but to a ll of Pembroke a nd tothe wider Community You are very sadlymissed Mattrdquo

Tis year has been a year for change acrossall of the domestic operation changesto the way we work the way we procuregoods and services and most importantlyhow we support academic life in College

We st arted the year by listening to theCollege community and tried to matchaspirations and good ideas to our resourcesand priorities Many of our students asked

us to provide a space where they couldsocialise but which was defined as analcohol-free zone So we opened FarthingsCafeacute until 10pm on four nights a weekand extended hours at the weekends ndash

this means that it is now open seven daysa week during term Tis provides a firstclass social and work space for all of theCollege community and feedback hasbeen extremely positive

We also listened to the revitalised StudentFood Committee some wanted morecarbs some wanted less carbs some wantedflexibility around when they needed toattend Formal Hall and others just wantedto feedback what was the most popularmenu amongst the student body KevinDudley Executive Chef has spent hoursre-designing menu choices and working

with our kitchen brigade to respond tothese (and other) requests to the effectthat feedback has improved dramaticallyover the year Te implementation of asystem whereby a designated chef cooks

meals for those with dietary demands hasalso helped cater for those students whohave specific requirements or allergiesNext term we are sitting down with the

JCR to try and develop a more flexiblesystem around Formal Hall ndash particularlyduring exam season

Tis year we really got our act togetheron the Summer Ball and the studentcommittee made sure that they delivereda fantastic event (one which made a tidyprofit for charity ndash Save the Children beingthe chosen benefactor) We changed what

we used to do ma de new areas availableand ensured that student organisers had

staff mentors they could turn to for adviceon any particular aspect

Students told us they want to stay longerin College at the end of terms and thisyear every student who requested tostay up at the end of rinity erm ndash foracademic reasons ndash was accommodated

We managed this by seeking out externalevents that were academic related or access

focused and which would dovetail easilyaround students continuing to study

2014 ndash 2015 was the busiest conferenceseason ever and yet we still managed tosqueeze in four wedding ceremonies andall the standard functions the Collegeenjoys

We also listened to Fellows and Alumniabout our guest rooms and we havestarted a rolling refurbishment programmeto freshen up the rooms we have TeMustard Room benefited not only froma new bathroom new furniture and fullredecoration but also the hanging of thebeautiful Hugh Casson watercolourskindly donated by Philip Jagger (1949)

Last year I reported that the Collegersquos financial positionreflected the impact of the additional income and costs relating tothe new buildings becoming fully operational Tis year we havemade good progress in refining this new way of working Tebusiness case established for the programme of works madecertain assu mptions about the additional income and costs which

would re sult f rom the expanded operations a nd it is pleasingto note that overall those assumptions have been validated bythe actual experience In particular the level of our conferencebusiness has continued to build and Pembroke is now one of

the more active Oxford Colleges in this area with a growingreputation

In what was essentially a year of financial consolidation thefinancial results of the College in 2014-15 were very satisfactory

otal incoming resources decreased by pound03m to pound112m Tisdecrease was primarily due to a reduction in donations which atpound19m were pound09m lower than the previous year as capital pledgesto the Bridging Centuries Campaign continued to be paid downsteadily and tailed off However it was good to see that the levelof revenue donations picked up

Te underlying increase in operating income reflectedbuoyant numbers of graduate students the high levels ofconference income and increased investment income reflectingthe growth in the Collegersquos long term investment portfolio duelargely to the rise of stock markets in recent years Te Collegeis reliant upon the income drawn down from the long terminvestment portfolio and this year the total return was 87

which was well above the benchmark target of 5

On the cost side total resources expended reduced by pound04m topound105m but it should be noted that there w as an e xceptional itemin last yearrsquos figures and after adjusting for this there was a small

increase of pound02m which reflects a tight control of costs after theincrease seen in the previous year when the additional resources

were required

So once again at the operating level the Collegersquos financialresults exceeded both the budget and the position anticipatedin our Strategic Plan which is very satisfactory although theoutcome was helped by higher than planned numbers ofgraduate students and the fact that there were some unfilledpermanent academic posts for reasons beyond the Collegersquoscontrol However it should be noted that the net movement infunds for the year of pound07m was slightly behind budget as there

were very few new capital donations above those already pledgedto the Bridging Centuries Campaign and other purposes

STEADY AS WE GO

NEW PORTERSrsquo LODGE

Now that all undergraduates are able to live on sitefor three years the College has more visitors andmembers actually in residence and it was becoming morechallenging for our Porters to provide the friendly andefficient service for which they are well known Inaddition to this as a College we were eager to en-sure step-free access for all visitors around our QuadsTerefore the Governing Body decided that funds should

be made available to redevelop our Lodge at the same timeas gently sloping the Old Quad to provide level access toChapel Quad

Te detailed design provided by our architects Ridgeand Partners LLP came up with a solution for a spaciousnew Lodge using a ground floor room on Staircase Oneand opening it up to the main entrance of the CollegeBoth English Heritage and the local Conservation Officer

were consulted and all nec essary consents were gra ntedTe work was carried out concurrently with that ofthe levelling of Old Quad Contractors Benfield andLoxley started work during the Easter Vacation requiringthe Samuel Johnson Building to be used as a temporaryentrance and Lodge and the Porters were able to moveinto their new home in August

Tis new space offers a wide and open counter soseveral people can be looked after at the same time some

welcome seating in the wa iting area and more spac e forthe equipment needed for a modern Lodge to operateeffectively Te old Lodge has been converted to house thepigeon holes with additional storage space for our ever-increasing parcel deliveries raditional materials wereused throughout and the style of the joinery echoes that

With net incoming resources of pound07m and an investment ga in of pound27m the balance of the Colle gersquos funds rose by pound34mto pound744m

urning to the Collegersquos balance sheet there was l ittle change as tangible fixed a ssets reduced by pound08 m principally as a resultof a depreciation charge of pound12m Securities and other investments rose by pound 3m to pound519m due largely to a n increase in thevalue of investments of pound27m After deducting the long term creditors of pound141m which relates primarily to the Bank loantaken out to fund the balance of the new buildings and quadrangle the Collegersquos net funds were pound744m

Looking forward there are some threats to the current stabilit y of the Collegersquos finances for reasons beyond our control Sincethe introduction in 2012 of the new tuition fee for homeEU undergraduate students which is shared between the Universityand Colleges there has been no increase in its amount and the latest indications are that it will only be from 2017 that aninflation linking will be introduced Recently it was announced that the Collegiate University will lose some research and

special institutions funding As much has already been done to increase other sources of income notably conference andinvestment income this means it will be a challenge for the College to sustain its current level of income in real terms

Tere is also pressure on the cost side as employersrsquo national insurance and pension contributions are rising significantly which will adversely affect t he Collegersquos salar y bill which acc ounts for about half of our cost ba se We are therefore facingthe prospect of a squeeze on our profitability which underlines the critical need to continue to raise revenue donations tosupport our operations and capital donations for future major refurbishments and to build up further the CollegersquosEndowment which in turn will generate additional investment income

Against the background of the uncertainties relating to external funding Governing Body has decided to defer thefinalisation of its next Strategic Pla n for a year but in the meantime a short term plan c overing the period 2015ndash18 will be putin place to provide a framework for a range of current initiatives which wil l include a keen focus on cost effectiveness and ourplans to seek further financial support from the Collegersquos alumni and other supporters

both individually and as a couple It provides the

backdrop for so many important aspects of our

lives ndash not least the sense of belonging that being

part of the College community brings and needless

to say we have especially happy memories of our

wedding in the College Chapel

Donating to Pembroke for us at least means giving

something back to help ensure that current and future generations of

Pembrokians have a similarly positive experience Aruna is particularly

keen to support the Access initiatives as he rst considered applying

to Oxford after visiting Pembroke as part of one of these eventsrdquo

such work that I haveever encounteredrdquoand highlighted itsldquostriking parallelsrdquo with recent Americanmistakes in Iraq

Piers was also an effective administrator and a diplomatic

colleague twice becoming acting Master of Pembroke Hislow-key and sensitive tact helped solve some serious problemsover the years although it was perhaps of less use when tryingto remonstrate at a College Ball in his capacity as Dean witha rampaging he Who in their 1960s ldquoprimerdquo

He trained as a Junior House Doctor at the RadcliffeInfirmary and following qualification he became interested inthoracic medicine and so spent some time as a Senior HouseOfficer at the Osler Pavilion the B Sanatorium attached tothe Radcliffe Infirmary It was at the Osler Pavilion that he firstmet Mary his wife to be

James was highly regarded by the medical communityin the Norfolk area both for his specialist thoracic and his wider general medical knowledge James took the decision

not to become a consultant himself but in recognition of hisachievements at Kelling he was proposed by his consultantcolleagues for Fellowship of the Royal College of Physiciansand Fellowship which was granted in 1965

In 1983 James retired from his working life at KellingHospital but remained very much in touch with the Hospitaland became heavily involved with the local community andfund raising

James had a great love for music and was a very accomplishedamateur cello player He played in many local orchestras stringquartets and trios He also played with some of the larger orchestrasin the area when they needed the number of cellos increased forperformances in larger churches and cathedrals in Norwich

He went up to Pembroke for the Michaelmas erm 1944to read Jurisprudence under the Admiralty Y Scheme whereby potential officers could spend six months atuniversity combining academic study and naval training Hiscontemporary Roff Rayner (1944) said ldquoIt was a strange timein blacked out Oxford with Pembroke largely occupied by theMinistry of Agriculture and only a score or so undergraduatesNevertheless it was enough to give an idea of what Universitylife might be like On demobilisation in 1947 Walter returnedto Pembroke with enthusiasmrdquo

Walter wrote ldquo[I] seized the opportunity to enjoy theactivities on offer there rightly anticipating that such a chance would not come again [I] played the violin in the OxfordOrchestra and the orchestras of the Opera and Music Clubsand was a member of the Pembroke College Quartet which wasinvited to perform in a Sunday evening Balliol College concert

hat progress was accomplished largely by selling theUniversity Heights campus in the Bronx closing the engineeringschool paring full-time faculty positions merging graduateand undergraduate business programs cutting intercollegiatecompetition in baseball football and basketball and requiringvarious components of the university including the school ofsocial work to pay their own way

At the same time Dr Hester raised academic standards andfielded recruiters to reverse a decline in out-of-town students

Dr Hester once explained that he wound up in highereducation almost by accident During the American militaryoccupation of Japan he worked as a civilian supervising schoolsBut even as a self-described ldquoprofessional administratorrdquo heemerged as a national presence

He headed a White House task force on higher education thatin 1970 recommended an expansion of federal scholarshipsa larger commitment to black colleges grants to graduateschools and tax incentives to encourage private contributions

to universitiesLike other college presidents he contended with campus unrest

which brought unwelcome attention Until he qualified hissupport for the war in Vietnam by urging Americarsquos withdrawal assoon as possible he had been assailed by campus protesters

After the invasion of Cambodia and the fatal shooting byNational Guardsmen of four students during an anti-warprotest at Kent State University in Ohio in 1970 Dr Hester wrote an impassioned appeal to President Richard Nixonto ldquoconsider the incalculable dangers of an unprecedentedalienation of Americarsquos youthrdquo and to ldquoend the war quicklyrdquoIt was signed by the presidents of 37 colleges and universities

He also lamented the lack of social contact between blacksand whites who had reached comparable educational levels andpresciently warned of the depersonalizing impact of technology

On leaving Oxford Bernard joined the graduate entry schemeof ube Investments he was to be with a series of connectedcompanies throughout his working life including British Aluminium Alcan and a final management buy-out His workbrought him to all parts of the world in his capacity as MarketingManagerDirector his might be thought a surprising field forhim since he did not come across as a natural extrovert Nodoubt it was his integrity quiet determination and attention todetail together with a delicate sense of humour which broughthim success with customers and colleagues

When Bernard retired he was livi ng in a semi-rural villageoutside Solihull Here he enjoyed tennis and bridge with localfriends ndash as well as defeating ever encroaching local planningapplications

Not being content to remain anywhere for long he wasever on the move golfing and skiing holidaying with friendscalling on cousins in Perthshire and relaxing in Porthcawl

where with his sister Anne he had developed a shared secondhome overlooking the Bristol Channel here he would playgolf attend rugby matches and enjoy the tranquillity of theblue horizons

Having seemingly overcome skin and prostate cancer someyears earlier he was now suddenly faced with a canceroustumour against which he fought stubbornly for over a year When it was thought to have gone another appeared and thishe was unable to overcome

During his last days he enjoyed the support of his friend Juliaand was lovingly cared for by his sister Anne He leaves manyhappy memories where his comradeship and fun were alwaysto the fore His humour was understated and subtle he dislikedpomposity and would prick it gently where he could He wasparticularly good with children who would look forward tohis visits for his kindliness wry humour and encouragement

Although he set high standards for himself (and his friends)he was always there to help and guide others generous in givingand in his quiet way would go to great lengths to providesupport without ever asking for it himself He was determinedlyindependent often concealing his inner feelings whilst beingthoughtful and considerate for the feelings of others

He is much missed by many as was evident at his memorialservice and will be long remembered with great affection

Te role Ken played in tackling the financial pressures facingCollege in the 1990s was discussed his active interest in thefinancial health of the College which sustained once Pembroke

was back on a robust footing Further Ken was instrumentalin establishing the Development Office in 1985 recognisingthe vital role philanthropic giving had to play in the Collegersquosfinancial security

Further tribute was paid to Kenrsquos role in creating the VisitingStudent Programme his input led to the model becomingendorsed as best practice across the Collegiate University

Dame Lynne concluded her speech by focusing on what wasarguably Kenrsquos greatest contribution as a utorial FellowldquoGenerations of Pembrokians have benefited from his consummateteaching skills ineffable supply of irreverent anecdotes and acerbicallywitty reflections humanising economics in most memorable waysrdquo

Professor Ewart Keep spoke primarily of Kenrsquos contributionsoutside Collegersquos jurisdiction ldquoFor the last 15 years we have run anESRC-funded research centre togetherhellip If I was asked to identifyone thing that has kept u s together it is mutual pe ssimismrdquo ProfessorKeep listed Kenrsquos many publications (books monographsreports chapters articles etc) before going on to talk about thedifferent facets of Kenrsquos work Amongst Kenrsquos former studentsProfessor Keep made reference to Ed Balls David MilibandMaria Eagle and current permanent secretaries at BIS and HM

reasury (before drily noting ldquoPlainly some of them didnrsquot listenvery hard for much of the timerdquo )

He went on to discuss Kenrsquos editorial work establishing theOxford Review of Economic Policy and his work with variousUniversity-led committees He drew p articular attention to Kenrsquos

work with the Moser Committee on the Future of ManagementStudies in Oxford and his position as Committee Chair at theOxford School of Management both which contributed to theformation of the Saiumld Business School estament was paid toKenrsquos leadership at SKOPE but also his work outside academia ndashas Economics Director of the National Economic DevelopmentOffice and as c onsultant to the Director of Economics at the CBI

Professor Whitefield who worked closely with Ken for overtwenty years started by declaring ldquoI believe you will agree thatKen has been the most influential and important Fellowhellip by dint ofhis brains ability to make strong arguments his willingness to stand for things he believes in even if the y are sometimes unpopularhellip andof course his sense of humourrdquo He went on to point out that ldquoKenalways thought that the life of an academic ndash not just the job ndash wasabout balancing various public commitments research ndash certainlybut connected to real and important problems teaching ndashespeciallyat the undergraduate level and in which economics was an educationnot just in mathematics and models but in the moral and politicalchoices that economics should engage and in service to the academiccommunity and beyond as a public intellectualrdquo

Warm tes timony wa s paid to Kenrsquos exceptional dedication asa utor and the very high esteem in which he was held by hisformer students Various recollections were shared and manyspoke of Kenrsquos dry humour and unorthodox approach arguablybest summed by the following

ldquoKen was undoubtedly the best teacher I have ever had embodyingin his twilight cigarette-perfumed irreverent seminars the idealof the Oxford academic Tat was chiefly what I went up toOxford hoping to experience and in Kenrsquos sessions I got exactlywhat I came forrdquo

PROFESSOR MARK FRICKER ACADEMIC DIRECTOR 2009 ndash 2015

It was an historic moment for Pembroke this year when Professor Mark Fricker stepped down from his role as Academic Director (a post he held for six years) to re-focus on his research career in Plant Sciences We are delighted howeverthat Mark will continue to be an important part of the Pembroke Community as a Fellow by Special Election

In September the College held a party for Mark who characteristically wanted it to be an informal inclusive affair for all ofthe Pembroke Community It gave us the opportunity to celebrate his extraordinary contribution to the College as AcademicDirector and of course to evoke fond memories and photos from the some thirty-four years that he has been associated withPembroke

Along with Professor Mugglestone Mark is now our longest serving Fellow coming to Pembroke in 1989 havingcompleted his PhD at Stirling University His association with Pembroke goes back much further to his matriculation as anundergraduate in 1981

It has been my great fortune to have worked with Mark over my first two years as Master I know that I share with GilesHenderson a great admiration for him in his role as Academic Director and as an extraordinary colleague His strategiccapabilities and his ability to handle complexity and come up with creative solutions are second to none Te Collegersquos

Academic Strategy development owes an enormous amount to Mark He has held up the torch for excellence in research andthe importance of Colleges for nurturing interdisciplinarity and this will be one of his principal legacies

SPORTS REPORT

Watching Pembrokersquos sporting yearunfold was a bit like following imHenman during his Wimbledon glorydays ndash so much hope and expectation atthe outset but ultimate disappointmentby the end Tis is not to say it wasnrsquot asuccessful season on many fronts fromPembrokersquos sportsmen and womenbut the Collegersquos teams did manage todevelop an uncanny knack of finishingrunners up in Cuppers competitionsthat is perhaps unprecedented in recentyears

Without doubt the most successful sportthis year was football with both menrsquosand womenrsquos teams dominating theirrespective leagues and being crownedchampions with time to spa re Te menrsquos

team often inspired by top scorer Alexsaptsinos reached the Cuppers finalbefore being cruelly beaten by Balliol

with the womenrsquos side unfortunatelyalso falling at the final hurdle in theirCuppers competition Special mentionsshould go to womenrsquos scoring sensation

Jacqueline Gallo and menrsquos recordappearance holder Michael Joseph

Pembroke also added a second placefinish in Sailing with a Richard Baugh-inspired Rugby team falling just shortin the Cuppers plate competition andthe netball team amazingly avoidedrelegation thanks to a late surge fromKenny Dada and co

However perhaps the most satisfyingaspect of Pembrokersquos sporting season

was the array of talent amongst anenergetic bunch of Freshers who willundoubtedly secure success in years tocome Te enthusiasm of the Collegersquosnewest intake was best shown by thesheer array of competitions enteredby Pembroke teams this year whichincluded not only the usual suspectssuch as hockey tennis and darts butalso ultimate frisbee trampoliningand cheerleading to boot IndeedPembrokersquos unwavering ability to lsquohavea go at anythingrsquo was best embodied bythe enigmatic duo of Laurence Wroeand Nathan Wragg who demonstratedan unparalleled ability to compete in

just about any sport that exists

Motivated to continue the hard work of our preceding Chairsand inspired by the potential of my new platform as JCR

Womenrsquos Rep I set about generating new enthusiasm andengagement with Pembrokersquos feminist discussions ogether

with the support of Emily Annand Sarah Wilmshurst andcommitted Social Secretaries James Richardson and Olivia Porter

we introduced newly structured ha lf-hour meetings which v isiblyincreased attendance Organising a wide variety of discussionsincluding the Ched Evans case sexism at work and Game ofTrones ensured Pembrokians had a regular chance to engage withkey theoretical and topical issues

Peminists has always emphasised the importance of acceptanceengagement and learning Our ethos meant many students simplyturned up to listen to other opinions and voices reporting they

attended because Peminists is an unusually approachable non-judgemental and inclusive forum Our discussions were brightened

and energised by record numbers of attendees in particular male students contributing to a diverse range of conversations

Early in Michaelmas term we chose to support charity Plan UK and their Because I Am a Girl campaign by taking part in aFace Up initiative Students were photographed with the phrase Irsquom putting girlsrsquo rights where they canrsquot be ignored digitally writtenon their faces adding to thousands of othersrsquo photos breaking the silence on violence against girls around the world Ourparticipation was picked up by the Oxford Mail who featured the story

During rinity term Sandra Ahmaya came to College to speak and host a Peminists QampA As an active feminist and campaignerfor womenrsquos rights based in Makerere University Uganda she spoke to us about FGM sexual assault and gender discrimination

within her University It felt very special to be reaching out to inspirational feminist students from beyond Oxford and the session was my personal highlight of chairi ng Peminists I rea lly canrsquot wait to see what the future holds for our new chair Ronni a s wecontinue to make the fight for gender equality a key pillar of our Collegersquos undergraduate ethos

ACCESSING PEMBROKETe Pembroke Access strategy continues to grow In narrowrecruitment terms it now affects about 9 of ourapplications across a range of subjects although we have yetto see a Finalist come through However as I write we nowhave five Hub Schools (in Hammersmith and FulhamGreater Manchester and South Cheshire) acting as aconduit to many linked schools in those areas and we are

working in pa rtnership with a large number of universities andthird-sector organisations We continue to work most intenselyin South Cheshire East Manches ter Hackney Westminster andmost recently Wigan

At the end of a period of public funding by Te London SchoolsExcellence Fund (provided by Te Mayor of London andthe Department for Education) the London Centre forLanguages and Cultures (LCLC) moved from Hammersmithto Westminster Academy Te LCLC is about to be joined by

a counterpart in Manchester and continues to enjoy the fullsupport of Te Op en University

Te Science Centre in South Cheshire flourishes and has been joined by a Corpus Christi Colle ge sponsored Centre and Hubin central Manchester Tis has allowed us to create a networkserving the whole of the North West Te Teology and ReligiousStudies Centre based in Ashton Sixth Form College Ashton-Under-Lyne continues to be run in close conjunction with anumber of universities including Durham Lancaster Sheffield

and Manchester and it too has joined this network

Last year I expressed the hope that there would be furtheradoption of the Pembroke approach by other Colleges Terecontinues to be an increased number of Colleges that are

indeed working along the sa me lines and the University have nowrecognised this work under the collective banner of OxNet

Finally Irsquod like the thank the JCR who have pledged to givepound10000 to access initiatives in College Further two membersof the JCR designed Pembroke paper pads that were sold to raiseadditional funds for Access work

Tere is growing recognition of the value of the study of Languagesin schools not only for the economic benefits they bring but alsofor the cultural and civic values that they foster However recent

reports have revealed that this is an area in which the UK is failingleading to a decline in the subject being taken up at university leveland a reduction in the number of languages available for study

DEATHS

It is with great sadness that we report the death of Matthew Morgan (1969 ndash 2015)

Charlie Harris Deputy Home Bursar ldquoI first met Matt 11 years ago but onlyreally got to know him when I joined Pembroke in 2006 Straight away we hit a bondndash sport Monday mornings would always consist of lengthy discussions whether it beabout Wolves FC Gloucester Rugby England cricke t Hersquod always enquire ab out myown contributions to the cricket score if I was playing for my local team and I haveto admit sometimes I didnrsquot tell him the whole truth as I know the abuse Irsquod receive

for the next few d ayshellipIt just wasnrsquot worth it As a work colleague Matt was anunsung hero here at College He wouldhelp anybody do the jobs that no oneelse wanted to do never moan (much)but come 10am everything stopped hersquodmake a cup of tea and make his way toldquoMattrsquos steprdquo on Staircase 7 where hersquod

watch the world go by and chat to all

But Matt wasnrsquot just a workcolleague he was a true friend and not

just to me but to a ll of Pembroke a nd tothe wider Community You are very sadlymissed Mattrdquo

Tis year has been a year for change acrossall of the domestic operation changesto the way we work the way we procuregoods and services and most importantlyhow we support academic life in College

We st arted the year by listening to theCollege community and tried to matchaspirations and good ideas to our resourcesand priorities Many of our students asked

us to provide a space where they couldsocialise but which was defined as analcohol-free zone So we opened FarthingsCafeacute until 10pm on four nights a weekand extended hours at the weekends ndash

this means that it is now open seven daysa week during term Tis provides a firstclass social and work space for all of theCollege community and feedback hasbeen extremely positive

We also listened to the revitalised StudentFood Committee some wanted morecarbs some wanted less carbs some wantedflexibility around when they needed toattend Formal Hall and others just wantedto feedback what was the most popularmenu amongst the student body KevinDudley Executive Chef has spent hoursre-designing menu choices and working

with our kitchen brigade to respond tothese (and other) requests to the effectthat feedback has improved dramaticallyover the year Te implementation of asystem whereby a designated chef cooks

meals for those with dietary demands hasalso helped cater for those students whohave specific requirements or allergiesNext term we are sitting down with the

JCR to try and develop a more flexiblesystem around Formal Hall ndash particularlyduring exam season

Tis year we really got our act togetheron the Summer Ball and the studentcommittee made sure that they delivereda fantastic event (one which made a tidyprofit for charity ndash Save the Children beingthe chosen benefactor) We changed what

we used to do ma de new areas availableand ensured that student organisers had

staff mentors they could turn to for adviceon any particular aspect

Students told us they want to stay longerin College at the end of terms and thisyear every student who requested tostay up at the end of rinity erm ndash foracademic reasons ndash was accommodated

We managed this by seeking out externalevents that were academic related or access

focused and which would dovetail easilyaround students continuing to study

2014 ndash 2015 was the busiest conferenceseason ever and yet we still managed tosqueeze in four wedding ceremonies andall the standard functions the Collegeenjoys

We also listened to Fellows and Alumniabout our guest rooms and we havestarted a rolling refurbishment programmeto freshen up the rooms we have TeMustard Room benefited not only froma new bathroom new furniture and fullredecoration but also the hanging of thebeautiful Hugh Casson watercolourskindly donated by Philip Jagger (1949)

Last year I reported that the Collegersquos financial positionreflected the impact of the additional income and costs relating tothe new buildings becoming fully operational Tis year we havemade good progress in refining this new way of working Tebusiness case established for the programme of works madecertain assu mptions about the additional income and costs which

would re sult f rom the expanded operations a nd it is pleasingto note that overall those assumptions have been validated bythe actual experience In particular the level of our conferencebusiness has continued to build and Pembroke is now one of

the more active Oxford Colleges in this area with a growingreputation

In what was essentially a year of financial consolidation thefinancial results of the College in 2014-15 were very satisfactory

otal incoming resources decreased by pound03m to pound112m Tisdecrease was primarily due to a reduction in donations which atpound19m were pound09m lower than the previous year as capital pledgesto the Bridging Centuries Campaign continued to be paid downsteadily and tailed off However it was good to see that the levelof revenue donations picked up

Te underlying increase in operating income reflectedbuoyant numbers of graduate students the high levels ofconference income and increased investment income reflectingthe growth in the Collegersquos long term investment portfolio duelargely to the rise of stock markets in recent years Te Collegeis reliant upon the income drawn down from the long terminvestment portfolio and this year the total return was 87

which was well above the benchmark target of 5

On the cost side total resources expended reduced by pound04m topound105m but it should be noted that there w as an e xceptional itemin last yearrsquos figures and after adjusting for this there was a small

increase of pound02m which reflects a tight control of costs after theincrease seen in the previous year when the additional resources

were required

So once again at the operating level the Collegersquos financialresults exceeded both the budget and the position anticipatedin our Strategic Plan which is very satisfactory although theoutcome was helped by higher than planned numbers ofgraduate students and the fact that there were some unfilledpermanent academic posts for reasons beyond the Collegersquoscontrol However it should be noted that the net movement infunds for the year of pound07m was slightly behind budget as there

were very few new capital donations above those already pledgedto the Bridging Centuries Campaign and other purposes

STEADY AS WE GO

NEW PORTERSrsquo LODGE

Now that all undergraduates are able to live on sitefor three years the College has more visitors andmembers actually in residence and it was becoming morechallenging for our Porters to provide the friendly andefficient service for which they are well known Inaddition to this as a College we were eager to en-sure step-free access for all visitors around our QuadsTerefore the Governing Body decided that funds should

be made available to redevelop our Lodge at the same timeas gently sloping the Old Quad to provide level access toChapel Quad

Te detailed design provided by our architects Ridgeand Partners LLP came up with a solution for a spaciousnew Lodge using a ground floor room on Staircase Oneand opening it up to the main entrance of the CollegeBoth English Heritage and the local Conservation Officer

were consulted and all nec essary consents were gra ntedTe work was carried out concurrently with that ofthe levelling of Old Quad Contractors Benfield andLoxley started work during the Easter Vacation requiringthe Samuel Johnson Building to be used as a temporaryentrance and Lodge and the Porters were able to moveinto their new home in August

Tis new space offers a wide and open counter soseveral people can be looked after at the same time some

welcome seating in the wa iting area and more spac e forthe equipment needed for a modern Lodge to operateeffectively Te old Lodge has been converted to house thepigeon holes with additional storage space for our ever-increasing parcel deliveries raditional materials wereused throughout and the style of the joinery echoes that

Consolidated Balance Sheet as at 31 July 2015

The gures shown are extracted from the Collegersquos statutory audited accounts for the year ended 31 st July 2015

The nancial statements were approved by the Governing Body on 2 nd December 2015 and have been posted on the Collegersquos website

With net incoming resources of pound07m and an investment ga in of pound27m the balance of the Colle gersquos funds rose by pound34mto pound744m

urning to the Collegersquos balance sheet there was l ittle change as tangible fixed a ssets reduced by pound08 m principally as a resultof a depreciation charge of pound12m Securities and other investments rose by pound 3m to pound519m due largely to a n increase in thevalue of investments of pound27m After deducting the long term creditors of pound141m which relates primarily to the Bank loantaken out to fund the balance of the new buildings and quadrangle the Collegersquos net funds were pound744m

Looking forward there are some threats to the current stabilit y of the Collegersquos finances for reasons beyond our control Sincethe introduction in 2012 of the new tuition fee for homeEU undergraduate students which is shared between the Universityand Colleges there has been no increase in its amount and the latest indications are that it will only be from 2017 that aninflation linking will be introduced Recently it was announced that the Collegiate University will lose some research and

special institutions funding As much has already been done to increase other sources of income notably conference andinvestment income this means it will be a challenge for the College to sustain its current level of income in real terms

Tere is also pressure on the cost side as employersrsquo national insurance and pension contributions are rising significantly which will adversely affect t he Collegersquos salar y bill which acc ounts for about half of our cost ba se We are therefore facingthe prospect of a squeeze on our profitability which underlines the critical need to continue to raise revenue donations tosupport our operations and capital donations for future major refurbishments and to build up further the CollegersquosEndowment which in turn will generate additional investment income

Against the background of the uncertainties relating to external funding Governing Body has decided to defer thefinalisation of its next Strategic Pla n for a year but in the meantime a short term plan c overing the period 2015ndash18 will be putin place to provide a framework for a range of current initiatives which wil l include a keen focus on cost effectiveness and ourplans to seek further financial support from the Collegersquos alumni and other supporters

ldquoItrsquos such a pleasure to feel I can continue to do

something for the beloved College and the next

generationrdquo

- Bob Side 1953

ldquoAs the only American student at Pembroke

College in 1954 I received warm and abundant

assistance and friendship from students and

faculty By the end of the academic year I had

been elected President of the Junior Common

Room and enjoyed remarkable opportunities to

boost student activities and regard for Pembroke

College among my American Oxford friends During the post 60

years my excitement about the quality of life at Pembroke has grown

as has my eagerness to introduce others to such a great experience

It is a pleasure to make nancial contribution to Pembroke each

year in order that a great tradition of academic excellence and warm

fellowship may growrdquo

and excel under challenging circumstances I give to

College because of its enduring commitment to widening

access and providing a well-rounded student experience

both individually and as a couple It provides the

backdrop for so many important aspects of our

lives ndash not least the sense of belonging that being

part of the College community brings and needless

to say we have especially happy memories of our

wedding in the College Chapel

Donating to Pembroke for us at least means giving

something back to help ensure that current and future generations of

Pembrokians have a similarly positive experience Aruna is particularly

keen to support the Access initiatives as he rst considered applying

to Oxford after visiting Pembroke as part of one of these eventsrdquo

Piers was also an effective administrator and a diplomatic

colleague twice becoming acting Master of Pembroke Hislow-key and sensitive tact helped solve some serious problemsover the years although it was perhaps of less use when tryingto remonstrate at a College Ball in his capacity as Dean witha rampaging he Who in their 1960s ldquoprimerdquo

to read English and took special pleasure in the University

Lectures of such notable scholars as JRR olkien and CS LewisOn graduation in 1949 Godfrey went into advertising livingin London and working as Creative Director for Foote Coneand Belding and later at Notleys During this period he wroteand broadcasted for radio and television in Britain France and America

During his life Godfrey encountered some remarkablepeople He studied the philosophy of Guerdjej author of Alland Everything and personally knew Idris Shah Russell andVera Page and many other writers of distinction

John Platt (1956) writes ldquoGodfrey always remained loyalto his old College I recall that for many years from the early1970s he regularly attend the annual dinners of the PembrokeCollege Society In 1984 when under the leadership of theMaster Sir Geoffrey Arthur an appeal was made for muchneeded funds Godfrey freely offered his expert services for theproduction of the brochure which launched what proved to bea very successful campaignrdquo

Godfrey decided to leave London and the rat race ofadvertising and moved to Addington in the heart of theBuckinghamshire countryside Soon afterwards he met hissecond wife Francoise Legrand in 1975 As a couple theystarted to enjoy a creative life ndash Godfrey writing books andFrancoise doing black and white photography ogether theypublished Boatopia (1986) and Paris the Essential City (1988)for which he provided the text and she the photographs

activities occupied his time ldquoat the cost of collecting picturesrdquoHis secondary schooling was marked by wartime evacuation

to Penrith where he threw himself into everything on offerDespite the deprivations that undoubtedly existed he alwaysdescribed them as halcyon days

He went up to Pembroke for the Michaelmas erm 1944to read Jurisprudence under the Admiralty Y Scheme whereby potential officers could spend six months atuniversity combining academic study and naval training Hiscontemporary Roff Rayner (1944) said ldquoIt was a strange timein blacked out Oxford with Pembroke largely occupied by theMinistry of Agriculture and only a score or so undergraduatesNevertheless it was enough to give an idea of what Universitylife might be like On demobilisation in 1947 Walter returnedto Pembroke with enthusiasmrdquo

Walter wrote ldquo[I] seized the opportunity to enjoy theactivities on offer there rightly anticipating that such a chance would not come again [I] played the violin in the OxfordOrchestra and the orchestras of the Opera and Music Clubsand was a member of the Pembroke College Quartet which wasinvited to perform in a Sunday evening Balliol College concert

[I] also played folk music with the Cecil Sharp Club and evenmanaged to be President of the Blackstone Societyrdquo

Graduating in 1949 following the two year post-waraccelerated programme his time at Pembroke was a source ofpride for the rest of his life

Returning to yneside and having found the necessarypound150 Articles of Clerkship followed and thereafter admissionto the Roll in 1952

Meeting Shirley Bittermann thereafter determined the courseof his personal and professional life Her father a well knownlocal practitioner offered Walter a place in the firm whichby the time of their marriage in 1957 had become known asELF Bittermann amp Wood ogether uneasily at times theypractised until his father-in-lawrsquos death He sat as a DeputyRegistrar but full time judicial office never appealed

An old fashioned high street solicitor of the type that is nowa dying if not dead breed he turned his hand to anything and was truly in the memorable definition of Sir Robert Megarrylsquoa universal spiderrsquo he knew how to get things done He tookhis turn on the Standing Committee of the Newcastle-upon-yne Law Society serving as its President in 1985-6 He washeavily involved in a bewildering range of charitable activitiesincluding setting up Abbeyfield Society Homes whichinfluenced the decision to move to one of them himself

But when all is said and done Walter was a family manHis marriage to Shirley was a good and sustaining one Of ittouchingly but perceptively he said this

ldquo[I] married Shirley in 1957 and we celebrated 57 yearstogetherhellip thanks to her good care and cooking hard workand common senserdquo

He brought his children up with a strong public service ethicconsonant with his belief that to practise was to serve he RGScontinued to hold an abiding fascination and he was pleasedthat his son and t hree of his grandsons followed him there

hat progress was accomplished largely by selling theUniversity Heights campus in the Bronx closing the engineeringschool paring full-time faculty positions merging graduateand undergraduate business programs cutting intercollegiatecompetition in baseball football and basketball and requiringvarious components of the university including the school ofsocial work to pay their own way

At the same time Dr Hester raised academic standards andfielded recruiters to reverse a decline in out-of-town students

Dr Hester once explained that he wound up in highereducation almost by accident During the American militaryoccupation of Japan he worked as a civilian supervising schoolsBut even as a self-described ldquoprofessional administratorrdquo heemerged as a national presence

He headed a White House task force on higher education thatin 1970 recommended an expansion of federal scholarshipsa larger commitment to black colleges grants to graduateschools and tax incentives to encourage private contributions

to universitiesLike other college presidents he contended with campus unrest

which brought unwelcome attention Until he qualified hissupport for the war in Vietnam by urging Americarsquos withdrawal assoon as possible he had been assailed by campus protesters

After the invasion of Cambodia and the fatal shooting byNational Guardsmen of four students during an anti-warprotest at Kent State University in Ohio in 1970 Dr Hester wrote an impassioned appeal to President Richard Nixonto ldquoconsider the incalculable dangers of an unprecedentedalienation of Americarsquos youthrdquo and to ldquoend the war quicklyrdquoIt was signed by the presidents of 37 colleges and universities

He also lamented the lack of social contact between blacksand whites who had reached comparable educational levels andpresciently warned of the depersonalizing impact of technology

At Pembroke Bernard soon became involved in a number ofcircles outside his own subject as he represented the Collegein both rugby and rowing hus he made many more friendssome of whom were to be with him all his life

On leaving Oxford Bernard joined the graduate entry schemeof ube Investments he was to be with a series of connectedcompanies throughout his working life including British Aluminium Alcan and a final management buy-out His workbrought him to all parts of the world in his capacity as MarketingManagerDirector his might be thought a surprising field forhim since he did not come across as a natural extrovert Nodoubt it was his integrity quiet determination and attention todetail together with a delicate sense of humour which broughthim success with customers and colleagues

When Bernard retired he was livi ng in a semi-rural villageoutside Solihull Here he enjoyed tennis and bridge with localfriends ndash as well as defeating ever encroaching local planningapplications

Not being content to remain anywhere for long he wasever on the move golfing and skiing holidaying with friendscalling on cousins in Perthshire and relaxing in Porthcawl

where with his sister Anne he had developed a shared secondhome overlooking the Bristol Channel here he would playgolf attend rugby matches and enjoy the tranquillity of theblue horizons

As Baudelaire wrote in lsquoElevationrsquo (from lsquoLes Fleurs du Malrsquo)

Heureux celui qui peut drsquoune aile vigoureuse srsquoeacutelancer vers les champs lumineux et serein

Come winter Bernard would be off again for warmer climesbut returning always to spend Christmas with his sister and herfamily

Having seemingly overcome skin and prostate cancer someyears earlier he was now suddenly faced with a canceroustumour against which he fought stubbornly for over a year When it was thought to have gone another appeared and thishe was unable to overcome

During his last days he enjoyed the support of his friend Juliaand was lovingly cared for by his sister Anne He leaves manyhappy memories where his comradeship and fun were alwaysto the fore His humour was understated and subtle he dislikedpomposity and would prick it gently where he could He wasparticularly good with children who would look forward tohis visits for his kindliness wry humour and encouragement

Although he set high standards for himself (and his friends)he was always there to help and guide others generous in givingand in his quiet way would go to great lengths to providesupport without ever asking for it himself He was determinedlyindependent often concealing his inner feelings whilst beingthoughtful and considerate for the feelings of others

He is much missed by many as was evident at his memorialservice and will be long remembered with great affection

Further tribute was paid to Kenrsquos role in creating the VisitingStudent Programme his input led to the model becomingendorsed as best practice across the Collegiate University

Dame Lynne concluded her speech by focusing on what wasarguably Kenrsquos greatest contribution as a utorial FellowldquoGenerations of Pembrokians have benefited from his consummateteaching skills ineffable supply of irreverent anecdotes and acerbicallywitty reflections humanising economics in most memorable waysrdquo

Professor Ewart Keep spoke primarily of Kenrsquos contributionsoutside Collegersquos jurisdiction ldquoFor the last 15 years we have run anESRC-funded research centre togetherhellip If I was asked to identifyone thing that has kept u s together it is mutual pe ssimismrdquo ProfessorKeep listed Kenrsquos many publications (books monographsreports chapters articles etc) before going on to talk about thedifferent facets of Kenrsquos work Amongst Kenrsquos former studentsProfessor Keep made reference to Ed Balls David MilibandMaria Eagle and current permanent secretaries at BIS and HM

In September the College held a party for Mark who characteristically wanted it to be an informal inclusive affair for all ofthe Pembroke Community It gave us the opportunity to celebrate his extraordinary contribution to the College as AcademicDirector and of course to evoke fond memories and photos from the some thirty-four years that he has been associated withPembroke

Along with Professor Mugglestone Mark is now our longest serving Fellow coming to Pembroke in 1989 havingcompleted his PhD at Stirling University His association with Pembroke goes back much further to his matriculation as anundergraduate in 1981

It has been my great fortune to have worked with Mark over my first two years as Master I know that I share with GilesHenderson a great admiration for him in his role as Academic Director and as an extraordinary colleague His strategiccapabilities and his ability to handle complexity and come up with creative solutions are second to none Te Collegersquos

Academic Strategy development owes an enormous amount to Mark He has held up the torch for excellence in research andthe importance of Colleges for nurturing interdisciplinarity and this will be one of his principal legacies

DEFINING THE CIVIL

STATE IN EGYPT

Prior to the Arab Spring there was a long held view thatdemocracy cannot really flourish in a predominantly Muslim

society Te first three years of post-Arab Spring Egyptprovided an excellent opportunity to unearth many of thearguments and counter-arguments surrounding this and otherviews Te seminar group also questioned the ways in whichreligion and religiosity impact on how citizens makechoices about parties and discussed how parties engage withrepresentative institutions and with the law

Te seminar was organised into four panels to explore these issuesand was designed to bring together a broad range of thinkers andperspectives to engage in evidence-based and reasoned dialogueTe keynote address was delivered by His Grace Bishop AngaelosHead of the Coptic Orthodox Church in the UK

SPORTS REPORT

Watching Pembrokersquos sporting yearunfold was a bit like following imHenman during his Wimbledon glorydays ndash so much hope and expectation atthe outset but ultimate disappointmentby the end Tis is not to say it wasnrsquot asuccessful season on many fronts fromPembrokersquos sportsmen and womenbut the Collegersquos teams did manage todevelop an uncanny knack of finishingrunners up in Cuppers competitionsthat is perhaps unprecedented in recentyears

Without doubt the most successful sportthis year was football with both menrsquosand womenrsquos teams dominating theirrespective leagues and being crownedchampions with time to spa re Te menrsquos

team often inspired by top scorer Alexsaptsinos reached the Cuppers finalbefore being cruelly beaten by Balliol

with the womenrsquos side unfortunatelyalso falling at the final hurdle in theirCuppers competition Special mentionsshould go to womenrsquos scoring sensation

Jacqueline Gallo and menrsquos recordappearance holder Michael Joseph

Pembroke also added a second placefinish in Sailing with a Richard Baugh-inspired Rugby team falling just shortin the Cuppers plate competition andthe netball team amazingly avoidedrelegation thanks to a late surge fromKenny Dada and co

However perhaps the most satisfyingaspect of Pembrokersquos sporting season

was the array of talent amongst anenergetic bunch of Freshers who willundoubtedly secure success in years tocome Te enthusiasm of the Collegersquosnewest intake was best shown by thesheer array of competitions enteredby Pembroke teams this year whichincluded not only the usual suspectssuch as hockey tennis and darts butalso ultimate frisbee trampoliningand cheerleading to boot IndeedPembrokersquos unwavering ability to lsquohavea go at anythingrsquo was best embodied bythe enigmatic duo of Laurence Wroeand Nathan Wragg who demonstratedan unparalleled ability to compete in

just about any sport that exists

Off the field this year saw theawarding of the inaugural JCR Sports

PCBC UPDATE

Tis has been a truly successful seasonfor PCBC and the squad has shownimpressive strength and depth at every level

Motivated to continue the hard work of our preceding Chairsand inspired by the potential of my new platform as JCR

Womenrsquos Rep I set about generating new enthusiasm andengagement with Pembrokersquos feminist discussions ogether

with the support of Emily Annand Sarah Wilmshurst andcommitted Social Secretaries James Richardson and Olivia Porter

we introduced newly structured ha lf-hour meetings which v isiblyincreased attendance Organising a wide variety of discussionsincluding the Ched Evans case sexism at work and Game ofTrones ensured Pembrokians had a regular chance to engage withkey theoretical and topical issues

Peminists has always emphasised the importance of acceptanceengagement and learning Our ethos meant many students simplyturned up to listen to other opinions and voices reporting they

attended because Peminists is an unusually approachable non-judgemental and inclusive forum Our discussions were brightened

and energised by record numbers of attendees in particular male students contributing to a diverse range of conversations

Early in Michaelmas term we chose to support charity Plan UK and their Because I Am a Girl campaign by taking part in aFace Up initiative Students were photographed with the phrase Irsquom putting girlsrsquo rights where they canrsquot be ignored digitally writtenon their faces adding to thousands of othersrsquo photos breaking the silence on violence against girls around the world Ourparticipation was picked up by the Oxford Mail who featured the story

During rinity term Sandra Ahmaya came to College to speak and host a Peminists QampA As an active feminist and campaignerfor womenrsquos rights based in Makerere University Uganda she spoke to us about FGM sexual assault and gender discrimination

within her University It felt very special to be reaching out to inspirational feminist students from beyond Oxford and the session was my personal highlight of chairi ng Peminists I rea lly canrsquot wait to see what the future holds for our new chair Ronni a s wecontinue to make the fight for gender equality a key pillar of our Collegersquos undergraduate ethos

a team of student volunteers I have had the privilege of speakin g to many visitors to the Gallery who have come from all overEngland delighted this important collection has finally been lsquounveiledrsquo

In rinity erm of this year we staged our first temporary exhibition John Bratby and Jean Cooke Who is Slaving at theKitchen Sink Te exhibition was comprised of works loaned from the Royal Academy from Colleges in Oxford and fromgalleries and private collections in London We were delighted to host Dr Greg Salter at the Exhibitionrsquos opening whooffered valuable insight into the tempestuous relationship of the artist-couple John Bratby and Jean Cooke We received anoverwhelmingly positive response to the exhibition from students visitors and in the local press Students in particularexpressed their fondness for one of the exhibitionrsquos key pieces Cinema Paradiso by Jean Cooke o commemorate theexhibition and celebrate our achievement the Art Fund decided to buy Cookersquos painting for this yearrsquos major acquisition

Tere have been other lsquofirstsrsquo behind the scenes most notably our new external volunteers Students from the wider JCR are

ACCESSING PEMBROKETe Pembroke Access strategy continues to grow In narrowrecruitment terms it now affects about 9 of ourapplications across a range of subjects although we have yetto see a Finalist come through However as I write we nowhave five Hub Schools (in Hammersmith and FulhamGreater Manchester and South Cheshire) acting as aconduit to many linked schools in those areas and we are

working in pa rtnership with a large number of universities andthird-sector organisations We continue to work most intenselyin South Cheshire East Manches ter Hackney Westminster andmost recently Wigan

At the end of a period of public funding by Te London SchoolsExcellence Fund (provided by Te Mayor of London andthe Department for Education) the London Centre forLanguages and Cultures (LCLC) moved from Hammersmithto Westminster Academy Te LCLC is about to be joined by

a counterpart in Manchester and continues to enjoy the fullsupport of Te Op en University

Te Science Centre in South Cheshire flourishes and has been joined by a Corpus Christi Colle ge sponsored Centre and Hubin central Manchester Tis has allowed us to create a networkserving the whole of the North West Te Teology and ReligiousStudies Centre based in Ashton Sixth Form College Ashton-Under-Lyne continues to be run in close conjunction with anumber of universities including Durham Lancaster Sheffield

and Manchester and it too has joined this network

Last year I expressed the hope that there would be furtheradoption of the Pembroke approach by other Colleges Terecontinues to be an increased number of Colleges that are

indeed working along the sa me lines and the University have nowrecognised this work under the collective banner of OxNet

Finally Irsquod like the thank the JCR who have pledged to givepound10000 to access initiatives in College Further two membersof the JCR designed Pembroke paper pads that were sold to raiseadditional funds for Access work

DEATHS

It is with great sadness that we report the death of Matthew Morgan (1969 ndash 2015)

Charlie Harris Deputy Home Bursar ldquoI first met Matt 11 years ago but onlyreally got to know him when I joined Pembroke in 2006 Straight away we hit a bondndash sport Monday mornings would always consist of lengthy discussions whether it beabout Wolves FC Gloucester Rugby England cricke t Hersquod always enquire ab out myown contributions to the cricket score if I was playing for my local team and I haveto admit sometimes I didnrsquot tell him the whole truth as I know the abuse Irsquod receive

for the next few d ayshellipIt just wasnrsquot worth it As a work colleague Matt was anunsung hero here at College He wouldhelp anybody do the jobs that no oneelse wanted to do never moan (much)but come 10am everything stopped hersquodmake a cup of tea and make his way toldquoMattrsquos steprdquo on Staircase 7 where hersquod

watch the world go by and chat to all

But Matt wasnrsquot just a workcolleague he was a true friend and not

just to me but to a ll of Pembroke a nd tothe wider Community You are very sadlymissed Mattrdquo

Tis year has been a year for change acrossall of the domestic operation changesto the way we work the way we procuregoods and services and most importantlyhow we support academic life in College

We st arted the year by listening to theCollege community and tried to matchaspirations and good ideas to our resourcesand priorities Many of our students asked

us to provide a space where they couldsocialise but which was defined as analcohol-free zone So we opened FarthingsCafeacute until 10pm on four nights a weekand extended hours at the weekends ndash

this means that it is now open seven daysa week during term Tis provides a firstclass social and work space for all of theCollege community and feedback hasbeen extremely positive

We also listened to the revitalised StudentFood Committee some wanted morecarbs some wanted less carbs some wantedflexibility around when they needed toattend Formal Hall and others just wantedto feedback what was the most popularmenu amongst the student body KevinDudley Executive Chef has spent hoursre-designing menu choices and working

with our kitchen brigade to respond tothese (and other) requests to the effectthat feedback has improved dramaticallyover the year Te implementation of asystem whereby a designated chef cooks

meals for those with dietary demands hasalso helped cater for those students whohave specific requirements or allergiesNext term we are sitting down with the

JCR to try and develop a more flexiblesystem around Formal Hall ndash particularlyduring exam season

Tis year we really got our act togetheron the Summer Ball and the studentcommittee made sure that they delivereda fantastic event (one which made a tidyprofit for charity ndash Save the Children beingthe chosen benefactor) We changed what

we used to do ma de new areas availableand ensured that student organisers had

staff mentors they could turn to for adviceon any particular aspect

Students told us they want to stay longerin College at the end of terms and thisyear every student who requested tostay up at the end of rinity erm ndash foracademic reasons ndash was accommodated

We managed this by seeking out externalevents that were academic related or access

focused and which would dovetail easilyaround students continuing to study

2014 ndash 2015 was the busiest conferenceseason ever and yet we still managed tosqueeze in four wedding ceremonies andall the standard functions the Collegeenjoys

We also listened to Fellows and Alumniabout our guest rooms and we havestarted a rolling refurbishment programmeto freshen up the rooms we have TeMustard Room benefited not only froma new bathroom new furniture and fullredecoration but also the hanging of thebeautiful Hugh Casson watercolourskindly donated by Philip Jagger (1949)

Last year I reported that the Collegersquos financial positionreflected the impact of the additional income and costs relating tothe new buildings becoming fully operational Tis year we havemade good progress in refining this new way of working Tebusiness case established for the programme of works madecertain assu mptions about the additional income and costs which

would re sult f rom the expanded operations a nd it is pleasingto note that overall those assumptions have been validated bythe actual experience In particular the level of our conferencebusiness has continued to build and Pembroke is now one of

the more active Oxford Colleges in this area with a growingreputation

In what was essentially a year of financial consolidation thefinancial results of the College in 2014-15 were very satisfactory

otal incoming resources decreased by pound03m to pound112m Tisdecrease was primarily due to a reduction in donations which atpound19m were pound09m lower than the previous year as capital pledgesto the Bridging Centuries Campaign continued to be paid downsteadily and tailed off However it was good to see that the levelof revenue donations picked up

Te underlying increase in operating income reflectedbuoyant numbers of graduate students the high levels ofconference income and increased investment income reflectingthe growth in the Collegersquos long term investment portfolio duelargely to the rise of stock markets in recent years Te Collegeis reliant upon the income drawn down from the long terminvestment portfolio and this year the total return was 87

which was well above the benchmark target of 5

On the cost side total resources expended reduced by pound04m topound105m but it should be noted that there w as an e xceptional itemin last yearrsquos figures and after adjusting for this there was a small

increase of pound02m which reflects a tight control of costs after theincrease seen in the previous year when the additional resources

were required

So once again at the operating level the Collegersquos financialresults exceeded both the budget and the position anticipatedin our Strategic Plan which is very satisfactory although theoutcome was helped by higher than planned numbers ofgraduate students and the fact that there were some unfilledpermanent academic posts for reasons beyond the Collegersquoscontrol However it should be noted that the net movement infunds for the year of pound07m was slightly behind budget as there

were very few new capital donations above those already pledgedto the Bridging Centuries Campaign and other purposes

STEADY AS WE GO

NEW PORTERSrsquo LODGE

Now that all undergraduates are able to live on sitefor three years the College has more visitors andmembers actually in residence and it was becoming morechallenging for our Porters to provide the friendly andefficient service for which they are well known Inaddition to this as a College we were eager to en-sure step-free access for all visitors around our QuadsTerefore the Governing Body decided that funds should

be made available to redevelop our Lodge at the same timeas gently sloping the Old Quad to provide level access toChapel Quad

Te detailed design provided by our architects Ridgeand Partners LLP came up with a solution for a spaciousnew Lodge using a ground floor room on Staircase Oneand opening it up to the main entrance of the CollegeBoth English Heritage and the local Conservation Officer

were consulted and all nec essary consents were gra ntedTe work was carried out concurrently with that ofthe levelling of Old Quad Contractors Benfield andLoxley started work during the Easter Vacation requiringthe Samuel Johnson Building to be used as a temporaryentrance and Lodge and the Porters were able to moveinto their new home in August

Tis new space offers a wide and open counter soseveral people can be looked after at the same time some

welcome seating in the wa iting area and more spac e forthe equipment needed for a modern Lodge to operateeffectively Te old Lodge has been converted to house thepigeon holes with additional storage space for our ever-increasing parcel deliveries raditional materials wereused throughout and the style of the joinery echoes that

of the new buildings which makes for an interestingconnection between the oldest and newest parts ofthe College

Consolidated Balance Sheet as at 31 July 2015

The gures shown are extracted from the Collegersquos statutory audited accounts for the year ended 31 st July 2015

The nancial statements were approved by the Governing Body on 2 nd December 2015 and have been posted on the Collegersquos website

With net incoming resources of pound07m and an investment ga in of pound27m the balance of the Colle gersquos funds rose by pound34mto pound744m

urning to the Collegersquos balance sheet there was l ittle change as tangible fixed a ssets reduced by pound08 m principally as a resultof a depreciation charge of pound12m Securities and other investments rose by pound 3m to pound519m due largely to a n increase in thevalue of investments of pound27m After deducting the long term creditors of pound141m which relates primarily to the Bank loantaken out to fund the balance of the new buildings and quadrangle the Collegersquos net funds were pound744m

Looking forward there are some threats to the current stabilit y of the Collegersquos finances for reasons beyond our control Sincethe introduction in 2012 of the new tuition fee for homeEU undergraduate students which is shared between the Universityand Colleges there has been no increase in its amount and the latest indications are that it will only be from 2017 that aninflation linking will be introduced Recently it was announced that the Collegiate University will lose some research and

special institutions funding As much has already been done to increase other sources of income notably conference andinvestment income this means it will be a challenge for the College to sustain its current level of income in real terms

Tere is also pressure on the cost side as employersrsquo national insurance and pension contributions are rising significantly which will adversely affect t he Collegersquos salar y bill which acc ounts for about half of our cost ba se We are therefore facingthe prospect of a squeeze on our profitability which underlines the critical need to continue to raise revenue donations tosupport our operations and capital donations for future major refurbishments and to build up further the CollegersquosEndowment which in turn will generate additional investment income

Against the background of the uncertainties relating to external funding Governing Body has decided to defer thefinalisation of its next Strategic Pla n for a year but in the meantime a short term plan c overing the period 2015ndash18 will be putin place to provide a framework for a range of current initiatives which wil l include a keen focus on cost effectiveness and ourplans to seek further financial support from the Collegersquos alumni and other supporters

admitting women Pembroke for me is all about

relationships As the second generation of Polish

immigrants to the USA we take pride in having

worked for everything that we have and it is

helpful that the College allowed us to spread our

donations over time It is my wish that every Pembrokian shares in this

and excel under challenging circumstances I give to

College because of its enduring commitment to widening

access and providing a well-rounded student experience

both individually and as a couple It provides the

backdrop for so many important aspects of our

lives ndash not least the sense of belonging that being

part of the College community brings and needless

to say we have especially happy memories of our

wedding in the College Chapel

Donating to Pembroke for us at least means giving

something back to help ensure that current and future generations of

Pembrokians have a similarly positive experience Aruna is particularly

keen to support the Access initiatives as he rst considered applying

to Oxford after visiting Pembroke as part of one of these eventsrdquo

of my life The College was a source of support

intellectual stimulation and laughter while I

of excellence and can give Professor X (Sir Patrick Stewart) a proper

He went up to Pembroke for the Michaelmas erm 1944to read Jurisprudence under the Admiralty Y Scheme whereby potential officers could spend six months atuniversity combining academic study and naval training Hiscontemporary Roff Rayner (1944) said ldquoIt was a strange timein blacked out Oxford with Pembroke largely occupied by theMinistry of Agriculture and only a score or so undergraduatesNevertheless it was enough to give an idea of what Universitylife might be like On demobilisation in 1947 Walter returnedto Pembroke with enthusiasmrdquo

Walter wrote ldquo[I] seized the opportunity to enjoy theactivities on offer there rightly anticipating that such a chance would not come again [I] played the violin in the OxfordOrchestra and the orchestras of the Opera and Music Clubsand was a member of the Pembroke College Quartet which wasinvited to perform in a Sunday evening Balliol College concert

[I] also played folk music with the Cecil Sharp Club and evenmanaged to be President of the Blackstone Societyrdquo

But when all is said and done Walter was a family manHis marriage to Shirley was a good and sustaining one Of ittouchingly but perceptively he said this

ldquo[I] married Shirley in 1957 and we celebrated 57 yearstogetherhellip thanks to her good care and cooking hard workand common senserdquo

He brought his children up with a strong public service ethicconsonant with his belief that to practise was to serve he RGScontinued to hold an abiding fascination and he was pleasedthat his son and t hree of his grandsons followed him there

hat progress was accomplished largely by selling theUniversity Heights campus in the Bronx closing the engineeringschool paring full-time faculty positions merging graduateand undergraduate business programs cutting intercollegiatecompetition in baseball football and basketball and requiringvarious components of the university including the school ofsocial work to pay their own way

At the same time Dr Hester raised academic standards andfielded recruiters to reverse a decline in out-of-town students

Dr Hester once explained that he wound up in highereducation almost by accident During the American militaryoccupation of Japan he worked as a civilian supervising schoolsBut even as a self-described ldquoprofessional administratorrdquo heemerged as a national presence

He headed a White House task force on higher education thatin 1970 recommended an expansion of federal scholarshipsa larger commitment to black colleges grants to graduateschools and tax incentives to encourage private contributions

to universitiesLike other college presidents he contended with campus unrest

which brought unwelcome attention Until he qualified hissupport for the war in Vietnam by urging Americarsquos withdrawal assoon as possible he had been assailed by campus protesters

After the invasion of Cambodia and the fatal shooting byNational Guardsmen of four students during an anti-warprotest at Kent State University in Ohio in 1970 Dr Hester wrote an impassioned appeal to President Richard Nixonto ldquoconsider the incalculable dangers of an unprecedentedalienation of Americarsquos youthrdquo and to ldquoend the war quicklyrdquoIt was signed by the presidents of 37 colleges and universities

He also lamented the lack of social contact between blacksand whites who had reached comparable educational levels andpresciently warned of the depersonalizing impact of technology

When Bernard retired he was livi ng in a semi-rural villageoutside Solihull Here he enjoyed tennis and bridge with localfriends ndash as well as defeating ever encroaching local planningapplications

Not being content to remain anywhere for long he wasever on the move golfing and skiing holidaying with friendscalling on cousins in Perthshire and relaxing in Porthcawl

where with his sister Anne he had developed a shared secondhome overlooking the Bristol Channel here he would playgolf attend rugby matches and enjoy the tranquillity of theblue horizons

During his last days he enjoyed the support of his friend Juliaand was lovingly cared for by his sister Anne He leaves manyhappy memories where his comradeship and fun were alwaysto the fore His humour was understated and subtle he dislikedpomposity and would prick it gently where he could He wasparticularly good with children who would look forward tohis visits for his kindliness wry humour and encouragement

Although he set high standards for himself (and his friends)he was always there to help and guide others generous in givingand in his quiet way would go to great lengths to providesupport without ever asking for it himself He was determinedlyindependent often concealing his inner feelings whilst beingthoughtful and considerate for the feelings of others

welcomed Professor Guy Kahane as our new utor and Fellowin Philosophy and also my successor as Academic DirectorNancy Braithwaite

Nonetheless at the recent strategic away-day the collectiveintellectual lens focused Occamrsquos razor sliced and diced datanumbers were crunched scrunched and ground into submissionall in search of a rational e xplanation and a much more importantsolution However the fragments of causality a re strewn far across

PROFESSOR MARK FRICKER ACADEMIC DIRECTOR 2009 ndash 2015

It was an historic moment for Pembroke this year when Professor Mark Fricker stepped down from his role as Academic Director (a post he held for six years) to re-focus on his research career in Plant Sciences We are delighted howeverthat Mark will continue to be an important part of the Pembroke Community as a Fellow by Special Election

In September the College held a party for Mark who characteristically wanted it to be an informal inclusive affair for all ofthe Pembroke Community It gave us the opportunity to celebrate his extraordinary contribution to the College as AcademicDirector and of course to evoke fond memories and photos from the some thirty-four years that he has been associated withPembroke

Along with Professor Mugglestone Mark is now our longest serving Fellow coming to Pembroke in 1989 havingcompleted his PhD at Stirling University His association with Pembroke goes back much further to his matriculation as anundergraduate in 1981

It has been my great fortune to have worked with Mark over my first two years as Master I know that I share with GilesHenderson a great admiration for him in his role as Academic Director and as an extraordinary colleague His strategiccapabilities and his ability to handle complexity and come up with creative solutions are second to none Te Collegersquos

Academic Strategy development owes an enormous amount to Mark He has held up the torch for excellence in research andthe importance of Colleges for nurturing interdisciplinarity and this will be one of his principal legacies

SPORTS REPORT

Watching Pembrokersquos sporting yearunfold was a bit like following imHenman during his Wimbledon glorydays ndash so much hope and expectation atthe outset but ultimate disappointmentby the end Tis is not to say it wasnrsquot asuccessful season on many fronts fromPembrokersquos sportsmen and womenbut the Collegersquos teams did manage todevelop an uncanny knack of finishingrunners up in Cuppers competitionsthat is perhaps unprecedented in recentyears

Without doubt the most successful sportthis year was football with both menrsquosand womenrsquos teams dominating theirrespective leagues and being crownedchampions with time to spa re Te menrsquos

team often inspired by top scorer Alexsaptsinos reached the Cuppers finalbefore being cruelly beaten by Balliol

with the womenrsquos side unfortunatelyalso falling at the final hurdle in theirCuppers competition Special mentionsshould go to womenrsquos scoring sensation

Jacqueline Gallo and menrsquos recordappearance holder Michael Joseph

Pembroke also added a second placefinish in Sailing with a Richard Baugh-inspired Rugby team falling just shortin the Cuppers plate competition andthe netball team amazingly avoidedrelegation thanks to a late surge fromKenny Dada and co

However perhaps the most satisfyingaspect of Pembrokersquos sporting season

was the array of talent amongst anenergetic bunch of Freshers who willundoubtedly secure success in years tocome Te enthusiasm of the Collegersquosnewest intake was best shown by thesheer array of competitions enteredby Pembroke teams this year whichincluded not only the usual suspectssuch as hockey tennis and darts butalso ultimate frisbee trampoliningand cheerleading to boot IndeedPembrokersquos unwavering ability to lsquohavea go at anythingrsquo was best embodied bythe enigmatic duo of Laurence Wroeand Nathan Wragg who demonstratedan unparalleled ability to compete in

just about any sport that exists

Motivated to continue the hard work of our preceding Chairsand inspired by the potential of my new platform as JCR

Womenrsquos Rep I set about generating new enthusiasm andengagement with Pembrokersquos feminist discussions ogether

with the support of Emily Annand Sarah Wilmshurst andcommitted Social Secretaries James Richardson and Olivia Porter

we introduced newly structured ha lf-hour meetings which v isiblyincreased attendance Organising a wide variety of discussionsincluding the Ched Evans case sexism at work and Game ofTrones ensured Pembrokians had a regular chance to engage withkey theoretical and topical issues

Peminists has always emphasised the importance of acceptanceengagement and learning Our ethos meant many students simplyturned up to listen to other opinions and voices reporting they

attended because Peminists is an unusually approachable non-judgemental and inclusive forum Our discussions were brightened

and energised by record numbers of attendees in particular male students contributing to a diverse range of conversations

Early in Michaelmas term we chose to support charity Plan UK and their Because I Am a Girl campaign by taking part in aFace Up initiative Students were photographed with the phrase Irsquom putting girlsrsquo rights where they canrsquot be ignored digitally writtenon their faces adding to thousands of othersrsquo photos breaking the silence on violence against girls around the world Ourparticipation was picked up by the Oxford Mail who featured the story

During rinity term Sandra Ahmaya came to College to speak and host a Peminists QampA As an active feminist and campaignerfor womenrsquos rights based in Makerere University Uganda she spoke to us about FGM sexual assault and gender discrimination

within her University It felt very special to be reaching out to inspirational feminist students from beyond Oxford and the session was my personal highlight of chairi ng Peminists I rea lly canrsquot wait to see what the future holds for our new chair Ronni a s wecontinue to make the fight for gender equality a key pillar of our Collegersquos undergraduate ethos

ACCESSING PEMBROKETe Pembroke Access strategy continues to grow In narrowrecruitment terms it now affects about 9 of ourapplications across a range of subjects although we have yetto see a Finalist come through However as I write we nowhave five Hub Schools (in Hammersmith and FulhamGreater Manchester and South Cheshire) acting as aconduit to many linked schools in those areas and we are

working in pa rtnership with a large number of universities andthird-sector organisations We continue to work most intenselyin South Cheshire East Manches ter Hackney Westminster andmost recently Wigan

At the end of a period of public funding by Te London SchoolsExcellence Fund (provided by Te Mayor of London andthe Department for Education) the London Centre forLanguages and Cultures (LCLC) moved from Hammersmithto Westminster Academy Te LCLC is about to be joined by

a counterpart in Manchester and continues to enjoy the fullsupport of Te Op en University

Te Science Centre in South Cheshire flourishes and has been joined by a Corpus Christi Colle ge sponsored Centre and Hubin central Manchester Tis has allowed us to create a networkserving the whole of the North West Te Teology and ReligiousStudies Centre based in Ashton Sixth Form College Ashton-Under-Lyne continues to be run in close conjunction with anumber of universities including Durham Lancaster Sheffield

and Manchester and it too has joined this network

Last year I expressed the hope that there would be furtheradoption of the Pembroke approach by other Colleges Terecontinues to be an increased number of Colleges that are

indeed working along the sa me lines and the University have nowrecognised this work under the collective banner of OxNet

Finally Irsquod like the thank the JCR who have pledged to givepound10000 to access initiatives in College Further two membersof the JCR designed Pembroke paper pads that were sold to raiseadditional funds for Access work

DEATHS

It is with great sadness that we report the death of Matthew Morgan (1969 ndash 2015)

Charlie Harris Deputy Home Bursar ldquoI first met Matt 11 years ago but onlyreally got to know him when I joined Pembroke in 2006 Straight away we hit a bondndash sport Monday mornings would always consist of lengthy discussions whether it beabout Wolves FC Gloucester Rugby England cricke t Hersquod always enquire ab out myown contributions to the cricket score if I was playing for my local team and I haveto admit sometimes I didnrsquot tell him the whole truth as I know the abuse Irsquod receive

for the next few d ayshellipIt just wasnrsquot worth it As a work colleague Matt was anunsung hero here at College He wouldhelp anybody do the jobs that no oneelse wanted to do never moan (much)but come 10am everything stopped hersquodmake a cup of tea and make his way toldquoMattrsquos steprdquo on Staircase 7 where hersquod

watch the world go by and chat to all

But Matt wasnrsquot just a workcolleague he was a true friend and not

just to me but to a ll of Pembroke a nd tothe wider Community You are very sadlymissed Mattrdquo

Tis year has been a year for change acrossall of the domestic operation changesto the way we work the way we procuregoods and services and most importantlyhow we support academic life in College

We st arted the year by listening to theCollege community and tried to matchaspirations and good ideas to our resourcesand priorities Many of our students asked

us to provide a space where they couldsocialise but which was defined as analcohol-free zone So we opened FarthingsCafeacute until 10pm on four nights a weekand extended hours at the weekends ndash

this means that it is now open seven daysa week during term Tis provides a firstclass social and work space for all of theCollege community and feedback hasbeen extremely positive

We also listened to the revitalised StudentFood Committee some wanted morecarbs some wanted less carbs some wantedflexibility around when they needed toattend Formal Hall and others just wantedto feedback what was the most popularmenu amongst the student body KevinDudley Executive Chef has spent hoursre-designing menu choices and working

with our kitchen brigade to respond tothese (and other) requests to the effectthat feedback has improved dramaticallyover the year Te implementation of asystem whereby a designated chef cooks

meals for those with dietary demands hasalso helped cater for those students whohave specific requirements or allergiesNext term we are sitting down with the

JCR to try and develop a more flexiblesystem around Formal Hall ndash particularlyduring exam season

Tis year we really got our act togetheron the Summer Ball and the studentcommittee made sure that they delivereda fantastic event (one which made a tidyprofit for charity ndash Save the Children beingthe chosen benefactor) We changed what

we used to do ma de new areas availableand ensured that student organisers had

staff mentors they could turn to for adviceon any particular aspect

Students told us they want to stay longerin College at the end of terms and thisyear every student who requested tostay up at the end of rinity erm ndash foracademic reasons ndash was accommodated

We managed this by seeking out externalevents that were academic related or access

focused and which would dovetail easilyaround students continuing to study

2014 ndash 2015 was the busiest conferenceseason ever and yet we still managed tosqueeze in four wedding ceremonies andall the standard functions the Collegeenjoys

We also listened to Fellows and Alumniabout our guest rooms and we havestarted a rolling refurbishment programmeto freshen up the rooms we have TeMustard Room benefited not only froma new bathroom new furniture and fullredecoration but also the hanging of thebeautiful Hugh Casson watercolourskindly donated by Philip Jagger (1949)

Last year I reported that the Collegersquos financial positionreflected the impact of the additional income and costs relating tothe new buildings becoming fully operational Tis year we havemade good progress in refining this new way of working Tebusiness case established for the programme of works madecertain assu mptions about the additional income and costs which

would re sult f rom the expanded operations a nd it is pleasingto note that overall those assumptions have been validated bythe actual experience In particular the level of our conferencebusiness has continued to build and Pembroke is now one of

the more active Oxford Colleges in this area with a growingreputation

In what was essentially a year of financial consolidation thefinancial results of the College in 2014-15 were very satisfactory

otal incoming resources decreased by pound03m to pound112m Tisdecrease was primarily due to a reduction in donations which atpound19m were pound09m lower than the previous year as capital pledgesto the Bridging Centuries Campaign continued to be paid downsteadily and tailed off However it was good to see that the levelof revenue donations picked up

Te underlying increase in operating income reflectedbuoyant numbers of graduate students the high levels ofconference income and increased investment income reflectingthe growth in the Collegersquos long term investment portfolio duelargely to the rise of stock markets in recent years Te Collegeis reliant upon the income drawn down from the long terminvestment portfolio and this year the total return was 87

which was well above the benchmark target of 5

On the cost side total resources expended reduced by pound04m topound105m but it should be noted that there w as an e xceptional itemin last yearrsquos figures and after adjusting for this there was a small

increase of pound02m which reflects a tight control of costs after theincrease seen in the previous year when the additional resources

were required

So once again at the operating level the Collegersquos financialresults exceeded both the budget and the position anticipatedin our Strategic Plan which is very satisfactory although theoutcome was helped by higher than planned numbers ofgraduate students and the fact that there were some unfilledpermanent academic posts for reasons beyond the Collegersquoscontrol However it should be noted that the net movement infunds for the year of pound07m was slightly behind budget as there

were very few new capital donations above those already pledgedto the Bridging Centuries Campaign and other purposes

STEADY AS WE GO

NEW PORTERSrsquo LODGE

Now that all undergraduates are able to live on sitefor three years the College has more visitors andmembers actually in residence and it was becoming morechallenging for our Porters to provide the friendly andefficient service for which they are well known Inaddition to this as a College we were eager to en-sure step-free access for all visitors around our QuadsTerefore the Governing Body decided that funds should

be made available to redevelop our Lodge at the same timeas gently sloping the Old Quad to provide level access toChapel Quad

Te detailed design provided by our architects Ridgeand Partners LLP came up with a solution for a spaciousnew Lodge using a ground floor room on Staircase Oneand opening it up to the main entrance of the CollegeBoth English Heritage and the local Conservation Officer

were consulted and all nec essary consents were gra ntedTe work was carried out concurrently with that ofthe levelling of Old Quad Contractors Benfield andLoxley started work during the Easter Vacation requiringthe Samuel Johnson Building to be used as a temporaryentrance and Lodge and the Porters were able to moveinto their new home in August

Tis new space offers a wide and open counter soseveral people can be looked after at the same time some

welcome seating in the wa iting area and more spac e forthe equipment needed for a modern Lodge to operateeffectively Te old Lodge has been converted to house thepigeon holes with additional storage space for our ever-increasing parcel deliveries raditional materials wereused throughout and the style of the joinery echoes that

Consolidated Balance Sheet as at 31 July 2015

The gures shown are extracted from the Collegersquos statutory audited accounts for the year ended 31 st July 2015

The nancial statements were approved by the Governing Body on 2 nd December 2015 and have been posted on the Collegersquos website

With net incoming resources of pound07m and an investment ga in of pound27m the balance of the Colle gersquos funds rose by pound34mto pound744m

urning to the Collegersquos balance sheet there was l ittle change as tangible fixed a ssets reduced by pound08 m principally as a resultof a depreciation charge of pound12m Securities and other investments rose by pound 3m to pound519m due largely to a n increase in thevalue of investments of pound27m After deducting the long term creditors of pound141m which relates primarily to the Bank loantaken out to fund the balance of the new buildings and quadrangle the Collegersquos net funds were pound744m

Looking forward there are some threats to the current stabilit y of the Collegersquos finances for reasons beyond our control Sincethe introduction in 2012 of the new tuition fee for homeEU undergraduate students which is shared between the Universityand Colleges there has been no increase in its amount and the latest indications are that it will only be from 2017 that aninflation linking will be introduced Recently it was announced that the Collegiate University will lose some research and

special institutions funding As much has already been done to increase other sources of income notably conference andinvestment income this means it will be a challenge for the College to sustain its current level of income in real terms

Tere is also pressure on the cost side as employersrsquo national insurance and pension contributions are rising significantly which will adversely affect t he Collegersquos salar y bill which acc ounts for about half of our cost ba se We are therefore facingthe prospect of a squeeze on our profitability which underlines the critical need to continue to raise revenue donations tosupport our operations and capital donations for future major refurbishments and to build up further the CollegersquosEndowment which in turn will generate additional investment income

Against the background of the uncertainties relating to external funding Governing Body has decided to defer thefinalisation of its next Strategic Pla n for a year but in the meantime a short term plan c overing the period 2015ndash18 will be putin place to provide a framework for a range of current initiatives which wil l include a keen focus on cost effectiveness and ourplans to seek further financial support from the Collegersquos alumni and other supporters

ldquoItrsquos such a pleasure to feel I can continue to do

something for the beloved College and the next

generationrdquo

- Bob Side 1953

ldquoAs the only American student at Pembroke

College in 1954 I received warm and abundant

assistance and friendship from students and

faculty By the end of the academic year I had

been elected President of the Junior Common

Room and enjoyed remarkable opportunities to

boost student activities and regard for Pembroke

College among my American Oxford friends During the post 60

years my excitement about the quality of life at Pembroke has grown

as has my eagerness to introduce others to such a great experience

It is a pleasure to make nancial contribution to Pembroke each

year in order that a great tradition of academic excellence and warm

fellowship may growrdquo

and excel under challenging circumstances I give to

College because of its enduring commitment to widening

access and providing a well-rounded student experience

both individually and as a couple It provides the

backdrop for so many important aspects of our

lives ndash not least the sense of belonging that being

part of the College community brings and needless

to say we have especially happy memories of our

wedding in the College Chapel

Donating to Pembroke for us at least means giving

something back to help ensure that current and future generations of

Pembrokians have a similarly positive experience Aruna is particularly

keen to support the Access initiatives as he rst considered applying

to Oxford after visiting Pembroke as part of one of these eventsrdquo

Piers was also an effective administrator and a diplomatic

colleague twice becoming acting Master of Pembroke Hislow-key and sensitive tact helped solve some serious problemsover the years although it was perhaps of less use when tryingto remonstrate at a College Ball in his capacity as Dean witha rampaging he Who in their 1960s ldquoprimerdquo

to read English and took special pleasure in the University

Lectures of such notable scholars as JRR olkien and CS LewisOn graduation in 1949 Godfrey went into advertising livingin London and working as Creative Director for Foote Coneand Belding and later at Notleys During this period he wroteand broadcasted for radio and television in Britain France and America

During his life Godfrey encountered some remarkablepeople He studied the philosophy of Guerdjej author of Alland Everything and personally knew Idris Shah Russell andVera Page and many other writers of distinction

John Platt (1956) writes ldquoGodfrey always remained loyalto his old College I recall that for many years from the early1970s he regularly attend the annual dinners of the PembrokeCollege Society In 1984 when under the leadership of theMaster Sir Geoffrey Arthur an appeal was made for muchneeded funds Godfrey freely offered his expert services for theproduction of the brochure which launched what proved to bea very successful campaignrdquo

Godfrey decided to leave London and the rat race ofadvertising and moved to Addington in the heart of theBuckinghamshire countryside Soon afterwards he met hissecond wife Francoise Legrand in 1975 As a couple theystarted to enjoy a creative life ndash Godfrey writing books andFrancoise doing black and white photography ogether theypublished Boatopia (1986) and Paris the Essential City (1988)for which he provided the text and she the photographs

activities occupied his time ldquoat the cost of collecting picturesrdquoHis secondary schooling was marked by wartime evacuation

to Penrith where he threw himself into everything on offerDespite the deprivations that undoubtedly existed he alwaysdescribed them as halcyon days

He went up to Pembroke for the Michaelmas erm 1944to read Jurisprudence under the Admiralty Y Scheme whereby potential officers could spend six months atuniversity combining academic study and naval training Hiscontemporary Roff Rayner (1944) said ldquoIt was a strange timein blacked out Oxford with Pembroke largely occupied by theMinistry of Agriculture and only a score or so undergraduatesNevertheless it was enough to give an idea of what Universitylife might be like On demobilisation in 1947 Walter returnedto Pembroke with enthusiasmrdquo

Walter wrote ldquo[I] seized the opportunity to enjoy theactivities on offer there rightly anticipating that such a chance would not come again [I] played the violin in the OxfordOrchestra and the orchestras of the Opera and Music Clubsand was a member of the Pembroke College Quartet which wasinvited to perform in a Sunday evening Balliol College concert

[I] also played folk music with the Cecil Sharp Club and evenmanaged to be President of the Blackstone Societyrdquo

Graduating in 1949 following the two year post-waraccelerated programme his time at Pembroke was a source ofpride for the rest of his life

Returning to yneside and having found the necessarypound150 Articles of Clerkship followed and thereafter admissionto the Roll in 1952

Meeting Shirley Bittermann thereafter determined the courseof his personal and professional life Her father a well knownlocal practitioner offered Walter a place in the firm whichby the time of their marriage in 1957 had become known asELF Bittermann amp Wood ogether uneasily at times theypractised until his father-in-lawrsquos death He sat as a DeputyRegistrar but full time judicial office never appealed

An old fashioned high street solicitor of the type that is nowa dying if not dead breed he turned his hand to anything and was truly in the memorable definition of Sir Robert Megarrylsquoa universal spiderrsquo he knew how to get things done He tookhis turn on the Standing Committee of the Newcastle-upon-yne Law Society serving as its President in 1985-6 He washeavily involved in a bewildering range of charitable activitiesincluding setting up Abbeyfield Society Homes whichinfluenced the decision to move to one of them himself

But when all is said and done Walter was a family manHis marriage to Shirley was a good and sustaining one Of ittouchingly but perceptively he said this

ldquo[I] married Shirley in 1957 and we celebrated 57 yearstogetherhellip thanks to her good care and cooking hard workand common senserdquo

He brought his children up with a strong public service ethicconsonant with his belief that to practise was to serve he RGScontinued to hold an abiding fascination and he was pleasedthat his son and t hree of his grandsons followed him there

hat progress was accomplished largely by selling theUniversity Heights campus in the Bronx closing the engineeringschool paring full-time faculty positions merging graduateand undergraduate business programs cutting intercollegiatecompetition in baseball football and basketball and requiringvarious components of the university including the school ofsocial work to pay their own way

At the same time Dr Hester raised academic standards andfielded recruiters to reverse a decline in out-of-town students

Dr Hester once explained that he wound up in highereducation almost by accident During the American militaryoccupation of Japan he worked as a civilian supervising schoolsBut even as a self-described ldquoprofessional administratorrdquo heemerged as a national presence

He headed a White House task force on higher education thatin 1970 recommended an expansion of federal scholarshipsa larger commitment to black colleges grants to graduateschools and tax incentives to encourage private contributions

to universitiesLike other college presidents he contended with campus unrest

which brought unwelcome attention Until he qualified hissupport for the war in Vietnam by urging Americarsquos withdrawal assoon as possible he had been assailed by campus protesters

After the invasion of Cambodia and the fatal shooting byNational Guardsmen of four students during an anti-warprotest at Kent State University in Ohio in 1970 Dr Hester wrote an impassioned appeal to President Richard Nixonto ldquoconsider the incalculable dangers of an unprecedentedalienation of Americarsquos youthrdquo and to ldquoend the war quicklyrdquoIt was signed by the presidents of 37 colleges and universities

He also lamented the lack of social contact between blacksand whites who had reached comparable educational levels andpresciently warned of the depersonalizing impact of technology

At Pembroke Bernard soon became involved in a number ofcircles outside his own subject as he represented the Collegein both rugby and rowing hus he made many more friendssome of whom were to be with him all his life

On leaving Oxford Bernard joined the graduate entry schemeof ube Investments he was to be with a series of connectedcompanies throughout his working life including British Aluminium Alcan and a final management buy-out His workbrought him to all parts of the world in his capacity as MarketingManagerDirector his might be thought a surprising field forhim since he did not come across as a natural extrovert Nodoubt it was his integrity quiet determination and attention todetail together with a delicate sense of humour which broughthim success with customers and colleagues

When Bernard retired he was livi ng in a semi-rural villageoutside Solihull Here he enjoyed tennis and bridge with localfriends ndash as well as defeating ever encroaching local planningapplications

Not being content to remain anywhere for long he wasever on the move golfing and skiing holidaying with friendscalling on cousins in Perthshire and relaxing in Porthcawl

where with his sister Anne he had developed a shared secondhome overlooking the Bristol Channel here he would playgolf attend rugby matches and enjoy the tranquillity of theblue horizons

As Baudelaire wrote in lsquoElevationrsquo (from lsquoLes Fleurs du Malrsquo)

Heureux celui qui peut drsquoune aile vigoureuse srsquoeacutelancer vers les champs lumineux et serein

Come winter Bernard would be off again for warmer climesbut returning always to spend Christmas with his sister and herfamily

Having seemingly overcome skin and prostate cancer someyears earlier he was now suddenly faced with a canceroustumour against which he fought stubbornly for over a year When it was thought to have gone another appeared and thishe was unable to overcome

During his last days he enjoyed the support of his friend Juliaand was lovingly cared for by his sister Anne He leaves manyhappy memories where his comradeship and fun were alwaysto the fore His humour was understated and subtle he dislikedpomposity and would prick it gently where he could He wasparticularly good with children who would look forward tohis visits for his kindliness wry humour and encouragement

Although he set high standards for himself (and his friends)he was always there to help and guide others generous in givingand in his quiet way would go to great lengths to providesupport without ever asking for it himself He was determinedlyindependent often concealing his inner feelings whilst beingthoughtful and considerate for the feelings of others

He is much missed by many as was evident at his memorialservice and will be long remembered with great affection

SPORTS REPORT

Watching Pembrokersquos sporting yearunfold was a bit like following imHenman during his Wimbledon glorydays ndash so much hope and expectation atthe outset but ultimate disappointmentby the end Tis is not to say it wasnrsquot asuccessful season on many fronts fromPembrokersquos sportsmen and womenbut the Collegersquos teams did manage todevelop an uncanny knack of finishingrunners up in Cuppers competitionsthat is perhaps unprecedented in recentyears

Without doubt the most successful sportthis year was football with both menrsquosand womenrsquos teams dominating theirrespective leagues and being crownedchampions with time to spa re Te menrsquos

team often inspired by top scorer Alexsaptsinos reached the Cuppers finalbefore being cruelly beaten by Balliol

with the womenrsquos side unfortunatelyalso falling at the final hurdle in theirCuppers competition Special mentionsshould go to womenrsquos scoring sensation

Jacqueline Gallo and menrsquos recordappearance holder Michael Joseph

Pembroke also added a second placefinish in Sailing with a Richard Baugh-inspired Rugby team falling just shortin the Cuppers plate competition andthe netball team amazingly avoidedrelegation thanks to a late surge fromKenny Dada and co

However perhaps the most satisfyingaspect of Pembrokersquos sporting season

was the array of talent amongst anenergetic bunch of Freshers who willundoubtedly secure success in years tocome Te enthusiasm of the Collegersquosnewest intake was best shown by thesheer array of competitions enteredby Pembroke teams this year whichincluded not only the usual suspectssuch as hockey tennis and darts butalso ultimate frisbee trampoliningand cheerleading to boot IndeedPembrokersquos unwavering ability to lsquohavea go at anythingrsquo was best embodied bythe enigmatic duo of Laurence Wroeand Nathan Wragg who demonstratedan unparalleled ability to compete in

just about any sport that exists

Motivated to continue the hard work of our preceding Chairsand inspired by the potential of my new platform as JCR

Womenrsquos Rep I set about generating new enthusiasm andengagement with Pembrokersquos feminist discussions ogether

with the support of Emily Annand Sarah Wilmshurst andcommitted Social Secretaries James Richardson and Olivia Porter

we introduced newly structured ha lf-hour meetings which v isiblyincreased attendance Organising a wide variety of discussionsincluding the Ched Evans case sexism at work and Game ofTrones ensured Pembrokians had a regular chance to engage withkey theoretical and topical issues

Peminists has always emphasised the importance of acceptanceengagement and learning Our ethos meant many students simplyturned up to listen to other opinions and voices reporting they

attended because Peminists is an unusually approachable non-judgemental and inclusive forum Our discussions were brightened

and energised by record numbers of attendees in particular male students contributing to a diverse range of conversations

Early in Michaelmas term we chose to support charity Plan UK and their Because I Am a Girl campaign by taking part in aFace Up initiative Students were photographed with the phrase Irsquom putting girlsrsquo rights where they canrsquot be ignored digitally writtenon their faces adding to thousands of othersrsquo photos breaking the silence on violence against girls around the world Ourparticipation was picked up by the Oxford Mail who featured the story

During rinity term Sandra Ahmaya came to College to speak and host a Peminists QampA As an active feminist and campaignerfor womenrsquos rights based in Makerere University Uganda she spoke to us about FGM sexual assault and gender discrimination

within her University It felt very special to be reaching out to inspirational feminist students from beyond Oxford and the session was my personal highlight of chairi ng Peminists I rea lly canrsquot wait to see what the future holds for our new chair Ronni a s wecontinue to make the fight for gender equality a key pillar of our Collegersquos undergraduate ethos

a team of student volunteers I have had the privilege of speakin g to many visitors to the Gallery who have come from all overEngland delighted this important collection has finally been lsquounveiledrsquo

In rinity erm of this year we staged our first temporary exhibition John Bratby and Jean Cooke Who is Slaving at theKitchen Sink Te exhibition was comprised of works loaned from the Royal Academy from Colleges in Oxford and fromgalleries and private collections in London We were delighted to host Dr Greg Salter at the Exhibitionrsquos opening whooffered valuable insight into the tempestuous relationship of the artist-couple John Bratby and Jean Cooke We received anoverwhelmingly positive response to the exhibition from students visitors and in the local press Students in particularexpressed their fondness for one of the exhibitionrsquos key pieces Cinema Paradiso by Jean Cooke o commemorate theexhibition and celebrate our achievement the Art Fund decided to buy Cookersquos painting for this yearrsquos major acquisition

Tere have been other lsquofirstsrsquo behind the scenes most notably our new external volunteers Students from the wider JCR are

ACCESSING PEMBROKETe Pembroke Access strategy continues to grow In narrowrecruitment terms it now affects about 9 of ourapplications across a range of subjects although we have yetto see a Finalist come through However as I write we nowhave five Hub Schools (in Hammersmith and FulhamGreater Manchester and South Cheshire) acting as aconduit to many linked schools in those areas and we are

working in pa rtnership with a large number of universities andthird-sector organisations We continue to work most intenselyin South Cheshire East Manches ter Hackney Westminster andmost recently Wigan

At the end of a period of public funding by Te London SchoolsExcellence Fund (provided by Te Mayor of London andthe Department for Education) the London Centre forLanguages and Cultures (LCLC) moved from Hammersmithto Westminster Academy Te LCLC is about to be joined by

a counterpart in Manchester and continues to enjoy the fullsupport of Te Op en University

Te Science Centre in South Cheshire flourishes and has been joined by a Corpus Christi Colle ge sponsored Centre and Hubin central Manchester Tis has allowed us to create a networkserving the whole of the North West Te Teology and ReligiousStudies Centre based in Ashton Sixth Form College Ashton-Under-Lyne continues to be run in close conjunction with anumber of universities including Durham Lancaster Sheffield

and Manchester and it too has joined this network

Last year I expressed the hope that there would be furtheradoption of the Pembroke approach by other Colleges Terecontinues to be an increased number of Colleges that are

indeed working along the sa me lines and the University have nowrecognised this work under the collective banner of OxNet

Finally Irsquod like the thank the JCR who have pledged to givepound10000 to access initiatives in College Further two membersof the JCR designed Pembroke paper pads that were sold to raiseadditional funds for Access work

DEATHS

It is with great sadness that we report the death of Matthew Morgan (1969 ndash 2015)

Charlie Harris Deputy Home Bursar ldquoI first met Matt 11 years ago but onlyreally got to know him when I joined Pembroke in 2006 Straight away we hit a bondndash sport Monday mornings would always consist of lengthy discussions whether it beabout Wolves FC Gloucester Rugby England cricke t Hersquod always enquire ab out myown contributions to the cricket score if I was playing for my local team and I haveto admit sometimes I didnrsquot tell him the whole truth as I know the abuse Irsquod receive

for the next few d ayshellipIt just wasnrsquot worth it As a work colleague Matt was anunsung hero here at College He wouldhelp anybody do the jobs that no oneelse wanted to do never moan (much)but come 10am everything stopped hersquodmake a cup of tea and make his way toldquoMattrsquos steprdquo on Staircase 7 where hersquod

watch the world go by and chat to all

But Matt wasnrsquot just a workcolleague he was a true friend and not

just to me but to a ll of Pembroke a nd tothe wider Community You are very sadlymissed Mattrdquo

Tis year has been a year for change acrossall of the domestic operation changesto the way we work the way we procuregoods and services and most importantlyhow we support academic life in College

We st arted the year by listening to theCollege community and tried to matchaspirations and good ideas to our resourcesand priorities Many of our students asked

us to provide a space where they couldsocialise but which was defined as analcohol-free zone So we opened FarthingsCafeacute until 10pm on four nights a weekand extended hours at the weekends ndash

this means that it is now open seven daysa week during term Tis provides a firstclass social and work space for all of theCollege community and feedback hasbeen extremely positive

We also listened to the revitalised StudentFood Committee some wanted morecarbs some wanted less carbs some wantedflexibility around when they needed toattend Formal Hall and others just wantedto feedback what was the most popularmenu amongst the student body KevinDudley Executive Chef has spent hoursre-designing menu choices and working

with our kitchen brigade to respond tothese (and other) requests to the effectthat feedback has improved dramaticallyover the year Te implementation of asystem whereby a designated chef cooks

meals for those with dietary demands hasalso helped cater for those students whohave specific requirements or allergiesNext term we are sitting down with the

JCR to try and develop a more flexiblesystem around Formal Hall ndash particularlyduring exam season

Tis year we really got our act togetheron the Summer Ball and the studentcommittee made sure that they delivereda fantastic event (one which made a tidyprofit for charity ndash Save the Children beingthe chosen benefactor) We changed what

we used to do ma de new areas availableand ensured that student organisers had

staff mentors they could turn to for adviceon any particular aspect

Students told us they want to stay longerin College at the end of terms and thisyear every student who requested tostay up at the end of rinity erm ndash foracademic reasons ndash was accommodated

We managed this by seeking out externalevents that were academic related or access

focused and which would dovetail easilyaround students continuing to study

2014 ndash 2015 was the busiest conferenceseason ever and yet we still managed tosqueeze in four wedding ceremonies andall the standard functions the Collegeenjoys

We also listened to Fellows and Alumniabout our guest rooms and we havestarted a rolling refurbishment programmeto freshen up the rooms we have TeMustard Room benefited not only froma new bathroom new furniture and fullredecoration but also the hanging of thebeautiful Hugh Casson watercolourskindly donated by Philip Jagger (1949)

Last year I reported that the Collegersquos financial positionreflected the impact of the additional income and costs relating tothe new buildings becoming fully operational Tis year we havemade good progress in refining this new way of working Tebusiness case established for the programme of works madecertain assu mptions about the additional income and costs which

would re sult f rom the expanded operations a nd it is pleasingto note that overall those assumptions have been validated bythe actual experience In particular the level of our conferencebusiness has continued to build and Pembroke is now one of

the more active Oxford Colleges in this area with a growingreputation

In what was essentially a year of financial consolidation thefinancial results of the College in 2014-15 were very satisfactory

otal incoming resources decreased by pound03m to pound112m Tisdecrease was primarily due to a reduction in donations which atpound19m were pound09m lower than the previous year as capital pledgesto the Bridging Centuries Campaign continued to be paid downsteadily and tailed off However it was good to see that the levelof revenue donations picked up

Te underlying increase in operating income reflectedbuoyant numbers of graduate students the high levels ofconference income and increased investment income reflectingthe growth in the Collegersquos long term investment portfolio duelargely to the rise of stock markets in recent years Te Collegeis reliant upon the income drawn down from the long terminvestment portfolio and this year the total return was 87

which was well above the benchmark target of 5

On the cost side total resources expended reduced by pound04m topound105m but it should be noted that there w as an e xceptional itemin last yearrsquos figures and after adjusting for this there was a small

increase of pound02m which reflects a tight control of costs after theincrease seen in the previous year when the additional resources

were required

So once again at the operating level the Collegersquos financialresults exceeded both the budget and the position anticipatedin our Strategic Plan which is very satisfactory although theoutcome was helped by higher than planned numbers ofgraduate students and the fact that there were some unfilledpermanent academic posts for reasons beyond the Collegersquoscontrol However it should be noted that the net movement infunds for the year of pound07m was slightly behind budget as there

were very few new capital donations above those already pledgedto the Bridging Centuries Campaign and other purposes

STEADY AS WE GO

NEW PORTERSrsquo LODGE

Now that all undergraduates are able to live on sitefor three years the College has more visitors andmembers actually in residence and it was becoming morechallenging for our Porters to provide the friendly andefficient service for which they are well known Inaddition to this as a College we were eager to en-sure step-free access for all visitors around our QuadsTerefore the Governing Body decided that funds should

be made available to redevelop our Lodge at the same timeas gently sloping the Old Quad to provide level access toChapel Quad

Te detailed design provided by our architects Ridgeand Partners LLP came up with a solution for a spaciousnew Lodge using a ground floor room on Staircase Oneand opening it up to the main entrance of the CollegeBoth English Heritage and the local Conservation Officer

were consulted and all nec essary consents were gra ntedTe work was carried out concurrently with that ofthe levelling of Old Quad Contractors Benfield andLoxley started work during the Easter Vacation requiringthe Samuel Johnson Building to be used as a temporaryentrance and Lodge and the Porters were able to moveinto their new home in August

Tis new space offers a wide and open counter soseveral people can be looked after at the same time some

welcome seating in the wa iting area and more spac e forthe equipment needed for a modern Lodge to operateeffectively Te old Lodge has been converted to house thepigeon holes with additional storage space for our ever-increasing parcel deliveries raditional materials wereused throughout and the style of the joinery echoes that

Consolidated Balance Sheet as at 31 July 2015

The gures shown are extracted from the Collegersquos statutory audited accounts for the year ended 31 st July 2015

The nancial statements were approved by the Governing Body on 2 nd December 2015 and have been posted on the Collegersquos website

With net incoming resources of pound07m and an investment ga in of pound27m the balance of the Colle gersquos funds rose by pound34mto pound744m

urning to the Collegersquos balance sheet there was l ittle change as tangible fixed a ssets reduced by pound08 m principally as a resultof a depreciation charge of pound12m Securities and other investments rose by pound 3m to pound519m due largely to a n increase in thevalue of investments of pound27m After deducting the long term creditors of pound141m which relates primarily to the Bank loantaken out to fund the balance of the new buildings and quadrangle the Collegersquos net funds were pound744m

Looking forward there are some threats to the current stabilit y of the Collegersquos finances for reasons beyond our control Sincethe introduction in 2012 of the new tuition fee for homeEU undergraduate students which is shared between the Universityand Colleges there has been no increase in its amount and the latest indications are that it will only be from 2017 that aninflation linking will be introduced Recently it was announced that the Collegiate University will lose some research and

special institutions funding As much has already been done to increase other sources of income notably conference andinvestment income this means it will be a challenge for the College to sustain its current level of income in real terms

Tere is also pressure on the cost side as employersrsquo national insurance and pension contributions are rising significantly which will adversely affect t he Collegersquos salar y bill which acc ounts for about half of our cost ba se We are therefore facingthe prospect of a squeeze on our profitability which underlines the critical need to continue to raise revenue donations tosupport our operations and capital donations for future major refurbishments and to build up further the CollegersquosEndowment which in turn will generate additional investment income

Against the background of the uncertainties relating to external funding Governing Body has decided to defer thefinalisation of its next Strategic Pla n for a year but in the meantime a short term plan c overing the period 2015ndash18 will be putin place to provide a framework for a range of current initiatives which wil l include a keen focus on cost effectiveness and ourplans to seek further financial support from the Collegersquos alumni and other supporters

both individually and as a couple It provides the

backdrop for so many important aspects of our

lives ndash not least the sense of belonging that being

part of the College community brings and needless

to say we have especially happy memories of our

wedding in the College Chapel

Donating to Pembroke for us at least means giving

something back to help ensure that current and future generations of

Pembrokians have a similarly positive experience Aruna is particularly

keen to support the Access initiatives as he rst considered applying

to Oxford after visiting Pembroke as part of one of these eventsrdquo

such work that I haveever encounteredrdquoand highlighted itsldquostriking parallelsrdquo with recent Americanmistakes in Iraq

Piers was also an effective administrator and a diplomatic

colleague twice becoming acting Master of Pembroke Hislow-key and sensitive tact helped solve some serious problemsover the years although it was perhaps of less use when tryingto remonstrate at a College Ball in his capacity as Dean witha rampaging he Who in their 1960s ldquoprimerdquo

He trained as a Junior House Doctor at the RadcliffeInfirmary and following qualification he became interested inthoracic medicine and so spent some time as a Senior HouseOfficer at the Osler Pavilion the B Sanatorium attached tothe Radcliffe Infirmary It was at the Osler Pavilion that he firstmet Mary his wife to be

James was highly regarded by the medical communityin the Norfolk area both for his specialist thoracic and his wider general medical knowledge James took the decision

not to become a consultant himself but in recognition of hisachievements at Kelling he was proposed by his consultantcolleagues for Fellowship of the Royal College of Physiciansand Fellowship which was granted in 1965

In 1983 James retired from his working life at KellingHospital but remained very much in touch with the Hospitaland became heavily involved with the local community andfund raising

James had a great love for music and was a very accomplishedamateur cello player He played in many local orchestras stringquartets and trios He also played with some of the larger orchestrasin the area when they needed the number of cellos increased forperformances in larger churches and cathedrals in Norwich

He went up to Pembroke for the Michaelmas erm 1944to read Jurisprudence under the Admiralty Y Scheme whereby potential officers could spend six months atuniversity combining academic study and naval training Hiscontemporary Roff Rayner (1944) said ldquoIt was a strange timein blacked out Oxford with Pembroke largely occupied by theMinistry of Agriculture and only a score or so undergraduatesNevertheless it was enough to give an idea of what Universitylife might be like On demobilisation in 1947 Walter returnedto Pembroke with enthusiasmrdquo

Walter wrote ldquo[I] seized the opportunity to enjoy theactivities on offer there rightly anticipating that such a chance would not come again [I] played the violin in the OxfordOrchestra and the orchestras of the Opera and Music Clubsand was a member of the Pembroke College Quartet which wasinvited to perform in a Sunday evening Balliol College concert

But when all is said and done Walter was a family manHis marriage to Shirley was a good and sustaining one Of ittouchingly but perceptively he said this

hat progress was accomplished largely by selling theUniversity Heights campus in the Bronx closing the engineeringschool paring full-time faculty positions merging graduateand undergraduate business programs cutting intercollegiatecompetition in baseball football and basketball and requiringvarious components of the university including the school ofsocial work to pay their own way

At the same time Dr Hester raised academic standards andfielded recruiters to reverse a decline in out-of-town students

Dr Hester once explained that he wound up in highereducation almost by accident During the American militaryoccupation of Japan he worked as a civilian supervising schoolsBut even as a self-described ldquoprofessional administratorrdquo heemerged as a national presence

He headed a White House task force on higher education thatin 1970 recommended an expansion of federal scholarshipsa larger commitment to black colleges grants to graduateschools and tax incentives to encourage private contributions

to universitiesLike other college presidents he contended with campus unrest

which brought unwelcome attention Until he qualified hissupport for the war in Vietnam by urging Americarsquos withdrawal assoon as possible he had been assailed by campus protesters

After the invasion of Cambodia and the fatal shooting byNational Guardsmen of four students during an anti-warprotest at Kent State University in Ohio in 1970 Dr Hester wrote an impassioned appeal to President Richard Nixonto ldquoconsider the incalculable dangers of an unprecedentedalienation of Americarsquos youthrdquo and to ldquoend the war quicklyrdquoIt was signed by the presidents of 37 colleges and universities

He also lamented the lack of social contact between blacksand whites who had reached comparable educational levels andpresciently warned of the depersonalizing impact of technology

When Bernard retired he was livi ng in a semi-rural villageoutside Solihull Here he enjoyed tennis and bridge with localfriends ndash as well as defeating ever encroaching local planningapplications

Not being content to remain anywhere for long he wasever on the move golfing and skiing holidaying with friendscalling on cousins in Perthshire and relaxing in Porthcawl

where with his sister Anne he had developed a shared secondhome overlooking the Bristol Channel here he would playgolf attend rugby matches and enjoy the tranquillity of theblue horizons

Having seemingly overcome skin and prostate cancer someyears earlier he was now suddenly faced with a canceroustumour against which he fought stubbornly for over a year When it was thought to have gone another appeared and thishe was unable to overcome

During his last days he enjoyed the support of his friend Juliaand was lovingly cared for by his sister Anne He leaves manyhappy memories where his comradeship and fun were alwaysto the fore His humour was understated and subtle he dislikedpomposity and would prick it gently where he could He wasparticularly good with children who would look forward tohis visits for his kindliness wry humour and encouragement

Although he set high standards for himself (and his friends)he was always there to help and guide others generous in givingand in his quiet way would go to great lengths to providesupport without ever asking for it himself He was determinedlyindependent often concealing his inner feelings whilst beingthoughtful and considerate for the feelings of others

He is much missed by many as was evident at his memorialservice and will be long remembered with great affection

team often inspired by top scorer Alexsaptsinos reached the Cuppers finalbefore being cruelly beaten by Balliol

was the array of talent amongst anenergetic bunch of Freshers who willundoubtedly secure success in years tocome Te enthusiasm of the Collegersquosnewest intake was best shown by thesheer array of competitions enteredby Pembroke teams this year whichincluded not only the usual suspectssuch as hockey tennis and darts butalso ultimate frisbee trampoliningand cheerleading to boot IndeedPembrokersquos unwavering ability to lsquohavea go at anythingrsquo was best embodied bythe enigmatic duo of Laurence Wroeand Nathan Wragg who demonstratedan unparalleled ability to compete in

Motivated to continue the hard work of our preceding Chairsand inspired by the potential of my new platform as JCR

Womenrsquos Rep I set about generating new enthusiasm andengagement with Pembrokersquos feminist discussions ogether

with the support of Emily Annand Sarah Wilmshurst andcommitted Social Secretaries James Richardson and Olivia Porter

we introduced newly structured ha lf-hour meetings which v isiblyincreased attendance Organising a wide variety of discussionsincluding the Ched Evans case sexism at work and Game ofTrones ensured Pembrokians had a regular chance to engage withkey theoretical and topical issues

Peminists has always emphasised the importance of acceptanceengagement and learning Our ethos meant many students simplyturned up to listen to other opinions and voices reporting they

attended because Peminists is an unusually approachable non-judgemental and inclusive forum Our discussions were brightened

and energised by record numbers of attendees in particular male students contributing to a diverse range of conversations

Early in Michaelmas term we chose to support charity Plan UK and their Because I Am a Girl campaign by taking part in aFace Up initiative Students were photographed with the phrase Irsquom putting girlsrsquo rights where they canrsquot be ignored digitally writtenon their faces adding to thousands of othersrsquo photos breaking the silence on violence against girls around the world Ourparticipation was picked up by the Oxford Mail who featured the story

During rinity term Sandra Ahmaya came to College to speak and host a Peminists QampA As an active feminist and campaignerfor womenrsquos rights based in Makerere University Uganda she spoke to us about FGM sexual assault and gender discrimination

within her University It felt very special to be reaching out to inspirational feminist students from beyond Oxford and the session was my personal highlight of chairi ng Peminists I rea lly canrsquot wait to see what the future holds for our new chair Ronni a s wecontinue to make the fight for gender equality a key pillar of our Collegersquos undergraduate ethos

ACCESSING PEMBROKETe Pembroke Access strategy continues to grow In narrowrecruitment terms it now affects about 9 of ourapplications across a range of subjects although we have yetto see a Finalist come through However as I write we nowhave five Hub Schools (in Hammersmith and FulhamGreater Manchester and South Cheshire) acting as aconduit to many linked schools in those areas and we are

working in pa rtnership with a large number of universities andthird-sector organisations We continue to work most intenselyin South Cheshire East Manches ter Hackney Westminster andmost recently Wigan

At the end of a period of public funding by Te London SchoolsExcellence Fund (provided by Te Mayor of London andthe Department for Education) the London Centre forLanguages and Cultures (LCLC) moved from Hammersmithto Westminster Academy Te LCLC is about to be joined by

a counterpart in Manchester and continues to enjoy the fullsupport of Te Op en University

Te Science Centre in South Cheshire flourishes and has been joined by a Corpus Christi Colle ge sponsored Centre and Hubin central Manchester Tis has allowed us to create a networkserving the whole of the North West Te Teology and ReligiousStudies Centre based in Ashton Sixth Form College Ashton-Under-Lyne continues to be run in close conjunction with anumber of universities including Durham Lancaster Sheffield

and Manchester and it too has joined this network

Last year I expressed the hope that there would be furtheradoption of the Pembroke approach by other Colleges Terecontinues to be an increased number of Colleges that are

indeed working along the sa me lines and the University have nowrecognised this work under the collective banner of OxNet

Finally Irsquod like the thank the JCR who have pledged to givepound10000 to access initiatives in College Further two membersof the JCR designed Pembroke paper pads that were sold to raiseadditional funds for Access work

DEATHS

It is with great sadness that we report the death of Matthew Morgan (1969 ndash 2015)

Charlie Harris Deputy Home Bursar ldquoI first met Matt 11 years ago but onlyreally got to know him when I joined Pembroke in 2006 Straight away we hit a bondndash sport Monday mornings would always consist of lengthy discussions whether it beabout Wolves FC Gloucester Rugby England cricke t Hersquod always enquire ab out myown contributions to the cricket score if I was playing for my local team and I haveto admit sometimes I didnrsquot tell him the whole truth as I know the abuse Irsquod receive

for the next few d ayshellipIt just wasnrsquot worth it As a work colleague Matt was anunsung hero here at College He wouldhelp anybody do the jobs that no oneelse wanted to do never moan (much)but come 10am everything stopped hersquodmake a cup of tea and make his way toldquoMattrsquos steprdquo on Staircase 7 where hersquod

watch the world go by and chat to all

But Matt wasnrsquot just a workcolleague he was a true friend and not

just to me but to a ll of Pembroke a nd tothe wider Community You are very sadlymissed Mattrdquo

Tis year has been a year for change acrossall of the domestic operation changesto the way we work the way we procuregoods and services and most importantlyhow we support academic life in College

We st arted the year by listening to theCollege community and tried to matchaspirations and good ideas to our resourcesand priorities Many of our students asked

us to provide a space where they couldsocialise but which was defined as analcohol-free zone So we opened FarthingsCafeacute until 10pm on four nights a weekand extended hours at the weekends ndash

this means that it is now open seven daysa week during term Tis provides a firstclass social and work space for all of theCollege community and feedback hasbeen extremely positive

We also listened to the revitalised StudentFood Committee some wanted morecarbs some wanted less carbs some wantedflexibility around when they needed toattend Formal Hall and others just wantedto feedback what was the most popularmenu amongst the student body KevinDudley Executive Chef has spent hoursre-designing menu choices and working

with our kitchen brigade to respond tothese (and other) requests to the effectthat feedback has improved dramaticallyover the year Te implementation of asystem whereby a designated chef cooks

meals for those with dietary demands hasalso helped cater for those students whohave specific requirements or allergiesNext term we are sitting down with the

JCR to try and develop a more flexiblesystem around Formal Hall ndash particularlyduring exam season

Tis year we really got our act togetheron the Summer Ball and the studentcommittee made sure that they delivereda fantastic event (one which made a tidyprofit for charity ndash Save the Children beingthe chosen benefactor) We changed what

we used to do ma de new areas availableand ensured that student organisers had

staff mentors they could turn to for adviceon any particular aspect

Students told us they want to stay longerin College at the end of terms and thisyear every student who requested tostay up at the end of rinity erm ndash foracademic reasons ndash was accommodated

We managed this by seeking out externalevents that were academic related or access

focused and which would dovetail easilyaround students continuing to study

2014 ndash 2015 was the busiest conferenceseason ever and yet we still managed tosqueeze in four wedding ceremonies andall the standard functions the Collegeenjoys

We also listened to Fellows and Alumniabout our guest rooms and we havestarted a rolling refurbishment programmeto freshen up the rooms we have TeMustard Room benefited not only froma new bathroom new furniture and fullredecoration but also the hanging of thebeautiful Hugh Casson watercolourskindly donated by Philip Jagger (1949)

Last year I reported that the Collegersquos financial positionreflected the impact of the additional income and costs relating tothe new buildings becoming fully operational Tis year we havemade good progress in refining this new way of working Tebusiness case established for the programme of works madecertain assu mptions about the additional income and costs which

would re sult f rom the expanded operations a nd it is pleasingto note that overall those assumptions have been validated bythe actual experience In particular the level of our conferencebusiness has continued to build and Pembroke is now one of

the more active Oxford Colleges in this area with a growingreputation

In what was essentially a year of financial consolidation thefinancial results of the College in 2014-15 were very satisfactory

otal incoming resources decreased by pound03m to pound112m Tisdecrease was primarily due to a reduction in donations which atpound19m were pound09m lower than the previous year as capital pledgesto the Bridging Centuries Campaign continued to be paid downsteadily and tailed off However it was good to see that the levelof revenue donations picked up

Te underlying increase in operating income reflectedbuoyant numbers of graduate students the high levels ofconference income and increased investment income reflectingthe growth in the Collegersquos long term investment portfolio duelargely to the rise of stock markets in recent years Te Collegeis reliant upon the income drawn down from the long terminvestment portfolio and this year the total return was 87

which was well above the benchmark target of 5

On the cost side total resources expended reduced by pound04m topound105m but it should be noted that there w as an e xceptional itemin last yearrsquos figures and after adjusting for this there was a small

increase of pound02m which reflects a tight control of costs after theincrease seen in the previous year when the additional resources

were required

So once again at the operating level the Collegersquos financialresults exceeded both the budget and the position anticipatedin our Strategic Plan which is very satisfactory although theoutcome was helped by higher than planned numbers ofgraduate students and the fact that there were some unfilledpermanent academic posts for reasons beyond the Collegersquoscontrol However it should be noted that the net movement infunds for the year of pound07m was slightly behind budget as there

were very few new capital donations above those already pledgedto the Bridging Centuries Campaign and other purposes

STEADY AS WE GO

NEW PORTERSrsquo LODGE

Now that all undergraduates are able to live on sitefor three years the College has more visitors andmembers actually in residence and it was becoming morechallenging for our Porters to provide the friendly andefficient service for which they are well known Inaddition to this as a College we were eager to en-sure step-free access for all visitors around our QuadsTerefore the Governing Body decided that funds should

be made available to redevelop our Lodge at the same timeas gently sloping the Old Quad to provide level access toChapel Quad

Te detailed design provided by our architects Ridgeand Partners LLP came up with a solution for a spaciousnew Lodge using a ground floor room on Staircase Oneand opening it up to the main entrance of the CollegeBoth English Heritage and the local Conservation Officer

were consulted and all nec essary consents were gra ntedTe work was carried out concurrently with that ofthe levelling of Old Quad Contractors Benfield andLoxley started work during the Easter Vacation requiringthe Samuel Johnson Building to be used as a temporaryentrance and Lodge and the Porters were able to moveinto their new home in August

Tis new space offers a wide and open counter soseveral people can be looked after at the same time some

welcome seating in the wa iting area and more spac e forthe equipment needed for a modern Lodge to operateeffectively Te old Lodge has been converted to house thepigeon holes with additional storage space for our ever-increasing parcel deliveries raditional materials wereused throughout and the style of the joinery echoes that

Consolidated Balance Sheet as at 31 July 2015

The gures shown are extracted from the Collegersquos statutory audited accounts for the year ended 31 st July 2015

The nancial statements were approved by the Governing Body on 2 nd December 2015 and have been posted on the Collegersquos website

With net incoming resources of pound07m and an investment ga in of pound27m the balance of the Colle gersquos funds rose by pound34mto pound744m

urning to the Collegersquos balance sheet there was l ittle change as tangible fixed a ssets reduced by pound08 m principally as a resultof a depreciation charge of pound12m Securities and other investments rose by pound 3m to pound519m due largely to a n increase in thevalue of investments of pound27m After deducting the long term creditors of pound141m which relates primarily to the Bank loantaken out to fund the balance of the new buildings and quadrangle the Collegersquos net funds were pound744m

Looking forward there are some threats to the current stabilit y of the Collegersquos finances for reasons beyond our control Sincethe introduction in 2012 of the new tuition fee for homeEU undergraduate students which is shared between the Universityand Colleges there has been no increase in its amount and the latest indications are that it will only be from 2017 that aninflation linking will be introduced Recently it was announced that the Collegiate University will lose some research and

special institutions funding As much has already been done to increase other sources of income notably conference andinvestment income this means it will be a challenge for the College to sustain its current level of income in real terms

Tere is also pressure on the cost side as employersrsquo national insurance and pension contributions are rising significantly which will adversely affect t he Collegersquos salar y bill which acc ounts for about half of our cost ba se We are therefore facingthe prospect of a squeeze on our profitability which underlines the critical need to continue to raise revenue donations tosupport our operations and capital donations for future major refurbishments and to build up further the CollegersquosEndowment which in turn will generate additional investment income

Against the background of the uncertainties relating to external funding Governing Body has decided to defer thefinalisation of its next Strategic Pla n for a year but in the meantime a short term plan c overing the period 2015ndash18 will be putin place to provide a framework for a range of current initiatives which wil l include a keen focus on cost effectiveness and ourplans to seek further financial support from the Collegersquos alumni and other supporters

Donating to Pembroke for us at least means giving

He was sent to what was then a harsh Edinburgh prepschool then on to Wellington where he flourished in itsrelatively liberal atmosphere winning a scholarship to ChristChurch in 1942

Piers wrote six books all much admired and all with greatclarity and lightness of touch despite their scholarly nature Hisfirst he War in the Mediterranean 1803-1810 was publishedin 1957 His second he War for America established aninternational reputation It was a strategic study of how theBritish government struggled to conduct an irregular warthousands of miles away at a time when it took months to geta message across the Atlantic and America was but one front ina world war Published at a time when America was struggling with its own deepening quagmire in Vietnam it was one ofthe catalysts for the revision of Americarsquos simplistic David-and-Goliath creation myth A reviewer in the WashingtonPost of a recent new edition referred to it as the ldquosingle best

such work that I haveever encounteredrdquoand highlighted itsldquostriking parallelsrdquo with recent Americanmistakes in Iraq

Piers was held in deep affection by his former colleagues andpupils He was by all accounts a civilized and thoughtful tutor who quietly took a lot of trouble over his pupils whatever theirabilities and this extended beyond the purely academic onesummer every morning he went up the Cowley Road to wakeup a student in crisis to make sure that he got to each of hisfinals papers Letters written both before and after his deathgive some flavours one old pupil referred to the inspiration ofPiersrsquo exactitude and deflation of cant another remembers hiseyes sliding to his drinks tray during a monotonous readinglate one morning and yet another said ldquoI think in my time with him in tutorials I only saw him angered once when myfellow undergraduate compared the Boy Scout Movement withthe Hitler Youthrdquo

Piers was also an effective administrator and a diplomatic

colleague twice becoming acting Master of Pembroke Hislow-key and sensitive tact helped solve some serious problemsover the years although it was perhaps of less use when tryingto remonstrate at a College Ball in his capacity as Dean witha rampaging he Who in their 1960s ldquoprimerdquo

James was born in Stock Essexthe second son of Capt RN (retired)homas and Kathleen Slator James was a sickly child as unbeknown tohis parents he was suffering fromcoeliac disease for which there wasno treatment at that time It wasonly in the late 1950s that James was properly diagnosed with thecondition and with a change in diethe became a much healthier man

In 1927 Jamesrsquos father retired from

the Navy and took a teaching job in San Remo moving thefamily to Italy hey returned to the UK in 1932 and settled inHolt North Norfolk where James and his older brother om were educated at Greshamrsquos School In 1941 James obtained aplace at Pembroke to read Medicine and graduated in 1946the normal six year course being compressed into five becauseof the War It was while James was a student at Oxford thatcycling played a significant role in his life as the only readymeans of getting back home to Holt was to cycle a journeyof some 150+ miles his he would do over a couple of daysresting and sleeping in fields if necessary and navigating by thesun and stars

He trained as a Junior House Doctor at the RadcliffeInfirmary and following qualification he became interested inthoracic medicine and so spent some time as a Senior HouseOfficer at the Osler Pavilion the B Sanatorium attached tothe Radcliffe Infirmary It was at the Osler Pavilion that he firstmet Mary his wife to be

hey married in January 1950 and James did his NationalService in the RMAC at the Army Connaught Hospital amilitary B sanatorium on Hindhead Heath Unfortunatelyhe contracted B himself and so was discharged from the Army in 1952 on medical grounds He was treated at the SladeHospital Headington which meant moving the family back to

Oxford After recovering he worked as a Senior House Doctor atthe Churchill Hospital in Oxford It was a year later that anadvertisement for a doctorrsquos post at Kelling Sanatorium in Holtndash with house thrown in ndash was spotted Apart from anothershort spell of B in 1955 he spent a very happy working lifethere During his time overseeing the sanatorium it changedto a thriving community hospital treating other diseases withconvalescent beds for the Norfolk amp Norwich Hospital andalso the introduction of a Neurological Unit Under Jamesrsquosleadership horacic and Orthopaedic surgery was introducedDuring his time at Kelling Hospital James studied for andpassed the exam for membership of the Royal College ofPhysicians

James was highly regarded by the medical communityin the Norfolk area both for his specialist thoracic and his wider general medical knowledge James took the decision

not to become a consultant himself but in recognition of hisachievements at Kelling he was proposed by his consultantcolleagues for Fellowship of the Royal College of Physiciansand Fellowship which was granted in 1965

In 1983 James retired from his working life at KellingHospital but remained very much in touch with the Hospitaland became heavily involved with the local community andfund raising

James had a great love for music and was a very accomplishedamateur cello player He played in many local orchestras stringquartets and trios He also played with some of the larger orchestrasin the area when they needed the number of cellos increased forperformances in larger churches and cathedrals in Norwich

Jamesrsquo other major interest was his family He loved his familyand nothing gave him more pleasure than caring for helpingand encouraging them as they grew up He was delighted to seehis children married and in t urn watch their children grow upand in some cases also get married He took a keen interestin what his grandchildren were doing in their lives and onlyrecently he was delighted to be able to hold his second great-grandchild James leaves behind his devoted and loving wifeMary and four children Richard David Rona and Ann

It is in recognition of Jamesrsquos love for his family his love forcycling and his interest in Kelling hospital that members of

the Slator familyundertook a charityride in August thisyear from PembrokeCollege to KellingHospital to raisemoney to supportthe introductionand running ofHospice beds his

time the ride of 156 miles was completed in a day

hat progress was accomplished largely by selling theUniversity Heights campus in the Bronx closing the engineeringschool paring full-time faculty positions merging graduateand undergraduate business programs cutting intercollegiatecompetition in baseball football and basketball and requiringvarious components of the university including the school ofsocial work to pay their own way

At the same time Dr Hester raised academic standards andfielded recruiters to reverse a decline in out-of-town students

Dr Hester once explained that he wound up in highereducation almost by accident During the American militaryoccupation of Japan he worked as a civilian supervising schoolsBut even as a self-described ldquoprofessional administratorrdquo heemerged as a national presence

He headed a White House task force on higher education thatin 1970 recommended an expansion of federal scholarshipsa larger commitment to black colleges grants to graduateschools and tax incentives to encourage private contributions

to universitiesLike other college presidents he contended with campus unrest

which brought unwelcome attention Until he qualified hissupport for the war in Vietnam by urging Americarsquos withdrawal assoon as possible he had been assailed by campus protesters

After the invasion of Cambodia and the fatal shooting byNational Guardsmen of four students during an anti-warprotest at Kent State University in Ohio in 1970 Dr Hester wrote an impassioned appeal to President Richard Nixonto ldquoconsider the incalculable dangers of an unprecedentedalienation of Americarsquos youthrdquo and to ldquoend the war quicklyrdquoIt was signed by the presidents of 37 colleges and universities

He also lamented the lack of social contact between blacksand whites who had reached comparable educational levels andpresciently warned of the depersonalizing impact of technology

On leaving Oxford Bernard joined the graduate entry schemeof ube Investments he was to be with a series of connectedcompanies throughout his working life including British Aluminium Alcan and a final management buy-out His workbrought him to all parts of the world in his capacity as MarketingManagerDirector his might be thought a surprising field forhim since he did not come across as a natural extrovert Nodoubt it was his integrity quiet determination and attention todetail together with a delicate sense of humour which broughthim success with customers and colleagues

When Bernard retired he was livi ng in a semi-rural villageoutside Solihull Here he enjoyed tennis and bridge with localfriends ndash as well as defeating ever encroaching local planningapplications

Not being content to remain anywhere for long he wasever on the move golfing and skiing holidaying with friendscalling on cousins in Perthshire and relaxing in Porthcawl

where with his sister Anne he had developed a shared secondhome overlooking the Bristol Channel here he would playgolf attend rugby matches and enjoy the tranquillity of theblue horizons

Having seemingly overcome skin and prostate cancer someyears earlier he was now suddenly faced with a canceroustumour against which he fought stubbornly for over a year When it was thought to have gone another appeared and thishe was unable to overcome

During his last days he enjoyed the support of his friend Juliaand was lovingly cared for by his sister Anne He leaves manyhappy memories where his comradeship and fun were alwaysto the fore His humour was understated and subtle he dislikedpomposity and would prick it gently where he could He wasparticularly good with children who would look forward tohis visits for his kindliness wry humour and encouragement

Although he set high standards for himself (and his friends)he was always there to help and guide others generous in givingand in his quiet way would go to great lengths to providesupport without ever asking for it himself He was determinedlyindependent often concealing his inner feelings whilst beingthoughtful and considerate for the feelings of others

He is much missed by many as was evident at his memorialservice and will be long remembered with great affection

SPORTS REPORT

Watching Pembrokersquos sporting yearunfold was a bit like following imHenman during his Wimbledon glorydays ndash so much hope and expectation atthe outset but ultimate disappointmentby the end Tis is not to say it wasnrsquot asuccessful season on many fronts fromPembrokersquos sportsmen and womenbut the Collegersquos teams did manage todevelop an uncanny knack of finishingrunners up in Cuppers competitionsthat is perhaps unprecedented in recentyears

Without doubt the most successful sportthis year was football with both menrsquosand womenrsquos teams dominating theirrespective leagues and being crownedchampions with time to spa re Te menrsquos

team often inspired by top scorer Alexsaptsinos reached the Cuppers finalbefore being cruelly beaten by Balliol

with the womenrsquos side unfortunatelyalso falling at the final hurdle in theirCuppers competition Special mentionsshould go to womenrsquos scoring sensation

Jacqueline Gallo and menrsquos recordappearance holder Michael Joseph

Pembroke also added a second placefinish in Sailing with a Richard Baugh-inspired Rugby team falling just shortin the Cuppers plate competition andthe netball team amazingly avoidedrelegation thanks to a late surge fromKenny Dada and co

However perhaps the most satisfyingaspect of Pembrokersquos sporting season

was the array of talent amongst anenergetic bunch of Freshers who willundoubtedly secure success in years tocome Te enthusiasm of the Collegersquosnewest intake was best shown by thesheer array of competitions enteredby Pembroke teams this year whichincluded not only the usual suspectssuch as hockey tennis and darts butalso ultimate frisbee trampoliningand cheerleading to boot IndeedPembrokersquos unwavering ability to lsquohavea go at anythingrsquo was best embodied bythe enigmatic duo of Laurence Wroeand Nathan Wragg who demonstratedan unparalleled ability to compete in

in the previous two years to reach the final of the Universityrsquos Undergraduate Mooting Championship a success that the team hope

they can build on going into next year Additionally the Blackstone Lecture took place early on in the year it was given by LordNeuberger President of the UK Supreme Court and entitled weaking the Curial Veil Tis covered the topic of limited public access toappellate deliberations and Lord Neuberger ultimately concluded that the element of privacy currently afforded is bene1047297cial for the

justice system as a whole

Motivated to continue the hard work of our preceding Chairsand inspired by the potential of my new platform as JCR

Womenrsquos Rep I set about generating new enthusiasm andengagement with Pembrokersquos feminist discussions ogether

with the support of Emily Annand Sarah Wilmshurst andcommitted Social Secretaries James Richardson and Olivia Porter

we introduced newly structured ha lf-hour meetings which v isiblyincreased attendance Organising a wide variety of discussionsincluding the Ched Evans case sexism at work and Game ofTrones ensured Pembrokians had a regular chance to engage withkey theoretical and topical issues

Peminists has always emphasised the importance of acceptanceengagement and learning Our ethos meant many students simplyturned up to listen to other opinions and voices reporting they

attended because Peminists is an unusually approachable non-judgemental and inclusive forum Our discussions were brightened

and energised by record numbers of attendees in particular male students contributing to a diverse range of conversations

Early in Michaelmas term we chose to support charity Plan UK and their Because I Am a Girl campaign by taking part in aFace Up initiative Students were photographed with the phrase Irsquom putting girlsrsquo rights where they canrsquot be ignored digitally writtenon their faces adding to thousands of othersrsquo photos breaking the silence on violence against girls around the world Ourparticipation was picked up by the Oxford Mail who featured the story

During rinity term Sandra Ahmaya came to College to speak and host a Peminists QampA As an active feminist and campaignerfor womenrsquos rights based in Makerere University Uganda she spoke to us about FGM sexual assault and gender discrimination

within her University It felt very special to be reaching out to inspirational feminist students from beyond Oxford and the session was my personal highlight of chairi ng Peminists I rea lly canrsquot wait to see what the future holds for our new chair Ronni a s wecontinue to make the fight for gender equality a key pillar of our Collegersquos undergraduate ethos

a team of student volunteers I have had the privilege of speakin g to many visitors to the Gallery who have come from all overEngland delighted this important collection has finally been lsquounveiledrsquo

In rinity erm of this year we staged our first temporary exhibition John Bratby and Jean Cooke Who is Slaving at theKitchen Sink Te exhibition was comprised of works loaned from the Royal Academy from Colleges in Oxford and fromgalleries and private collections in London We were delighted to host Dr Greg Salter at the Exhibitionrsquos opening whooffered valuable insight into the tempestuous relationship of the artist-couple John Bratby and Jean Cooke We received anoverwhelmingly positive response to the exhibition from students visitors and in the local press Students in particularexpressed their fondness for one of the exhibitionrsquos key pieces Cinema Paradiso by Jean Cooke o commemorate theexhibition and celebrate our achievement the Art Fund decided to buy Cookersquos painting for this yearrsquos major acquisition

Tere have been other lsquofirstsrsquo behind the scenes most notably our new external volunteers Students from the wider JCR are

ACCESSING PEMBROKETe Pembroke Access strategy continues to grow In narrowrecruitment terms it now affects about 9 of ourapplications across a range of subjects although we have yetto see a Finalist come through However as I write we nowhave five Hub Schools (in Hammersmith and FulhamGreater Manchester and South Cheshire) acting as aconduit to many linked schools in those areas and we are

working in pa rtnership with a large number of universities andthird-sector organisations We continue to work most intenselyin South Cheshire East Manches ter Hackney Westminster andmost recently Wigan

At the end of a period of public funding by Te London SchoolsExcellence Fund (provided by Te Mayor of London andthe Department for Education) the London Centre forLanguages and Cultures (LCLC) moved from Hammersmithto Westminster Academy Te LCLC is about to be joined by

a counterpart in Manchester and continues to enjoy the fullsupport of Te Op en University

Te Science Centre in South Cheshire flourishes and has been joined by a Corpus Christi Colle ge sponsored Centre and Hubin central Manchester Tis has allowed us to create a networkserving the whole of the North West Te Teology and ReligiousStudies Centre based in Ashton Sixth Form College Ashton-Under-Lyne continues to be run in close conjunction with anumber of universities including Durham Lancaster Sheffield

and Manchester and it too has joined this network

Last year I expressed the hope that there would be furtheradoption of the Pembroke approach by other Colleges Terecontinues to be an increased number of Colleges that are

indeed working along the sa me lines and the University have nowrecognised this work under the collective banner of OxNet

Finally Irsquod like the thank the JCR who have pledged to givepound10000 to access initiatives in College Further two membersof the JCR designed Pembroke paper pads that were sold to raiseadditional funds for Access work

DEATHS

It is with great sadness that we report the death of Matthew Morgan (1969 ndash 2015)

Charlie Harris Deputy Home Bursar ldquoI first met Matt 11 years ago but onlyreally got to know him when I joined Pembroke in 2006 Straight away we hit a bondndash sport Monday mornings would always consist of lengthy discussions whether it beabout Wolves FC Gloucester Rugby England cricke t Hersquod always enquire ab out myown contributions to the cricket score if I was playing for my local team and I haveto admit sometimes I didnrsquot tell him the whole truth as I know the abuse Irsquod receive

for the next few d ayshellipIt just wasnrsquot worth it As a work colleague Matt was anunsung hero here at College He wouldhelp anybody do the jobs that no oneelse wanted to do never moan (much)but come 10am everything stopped hersquodmake a cup of tea and make his way toldquoMattrsquos steprdquo on Staircase 7 where hersquod

watch the world go by and chat to all

But Matt wasnrsquot just a workcolleague he was a true friend and not

just to me but to a ll of Pembroke a nd tothe wider Community You are very sadlymissed Mattrdquo

Tis year has been a year for change acrossall of the domestic operation changesto the way we work the way we procuregoods and services and most importantlyhow we support academic life in College

We st arted the year by listening to theCollege community and tried to matchaspirations and good ideas to our resourcesand priorities Many of our students asked

us to provide a space where they couldsocialise but which was defined as analcohol-free zone So we opened FarthingsCafeacute until 10pm on four nights a weekand extended hours at the weekends ndash

this means that it is now open seven daysa week during term Tis provides a firstclass social and work space for all of theCollege community and feedback hasbeen extremely positive

We also listened to the revitalised StudentFood Committee some wanted morecarbs some wanted less carbs some wantedflexibility around when they needed toattend Formal Hall and others just wantedto feedback what was the most popularmenu amongst the student body KevinDudley Executive Chef has spent hoursre-designing menu choices and working

with our kitchen brigade to respond tothese (and other) requests to the effectthat feedback has improved dramaticallyover the year Te implementation of asystem whereby a designated chef cooks

meals for those with dietary demands hasalso helped cater for those students whohave specific requirements or allergiesNext term we are sitting down with the

JCR to try and develop a more flexiblesystem around Formal Hall ndash particularlyduring exam season

Tis year we really got our act togetheron the Summer Ball and the studentcommittee made sure that they delivereda fantastic event (one which made a tidyprofit for charity ndash Save the Children beingthe chosen benefactor) We changed what

we used to do ma de new areas availableand ensured that student organisers had

staff mentors they could turn to for adviceon any particular aspect

Students told us they want to stay longerin College at the end of terms and thisyear every student who requested tostay up at the end of rinity erm ndash foracademic reasons ndash was accommodated

We managed this by seeking out externalevents that were academic related or access

focused and which would dovetail easilyaround students continuing to study

2014 ndash 2015 was the busiest conferenceseason ever and yet we still managed tosqueeze in four wedding ceremonies andall the standard functions the Collegeenjoys

We also listened to Fellows and Alumniabout our guest rooms and we havestarted a rolling refurbishment programmeto freshen up the rooms we have TeMustard Room benefited not only froma new bathroom new furniture and fullredecoration but also the hanging of thebeautiful Hugh Casson watercolourskindly donated by Philip Jagger (1949)

Last year I reported that the Collegersquos financial positionreflected the impact of the additional income and costs relating tothe new buildings becoming fully operational Tis year we havemade good progress in refining this new way of working Tebusiness case established for the programme of works madecertain assu mptions about the additional income and costs which

would re sult f rom the expanded operations a nd it is pleasingto note that overall those assumptions have been validated bythe actual experience In particular the level of our conferencebusiness has continued to build and Pembroke is now one of

the more active Oxford Colleges in this area with a growingreputation

In what was essentially a year of financial consolidation thefinancial results of the College in 2014-15 were very satisfactory

otal incoming resources decreased by pound03m to pound112m Tisdecrease was primarily due to a reduction in donations which atpound19m were pound09m lower than the previous year as capital pledgesto the Bridging Centuries Campaign continued to be paid downsteadily and tailed off However it was good to see that the levelof revenue donations picked up

Te underlying increase in operating income reflectedbuoyant numbers of graduate students the high levels ofconference income and increased investment income reflectingthe growth in the Collegersquos long term investment portfolio duelargely to the rise of stock markets in recent years Te Collegeis reliant upon the income drawn down from the long terminvestment portfolio and this year the total return was 87

which was well above the benchmark target of 5

On the cost side total resources expended reduced by pound04m topound105m but it should be noted that there w as an e xceptional itemin last yearrsquos figures and after adjusting for this there was a small

increase of pound02m which reflects a tight control of costs after theincrease seen in the previous year when the additional resources

were required

So once again at the operating level the Collegersquos financialresults exceeded both the budget and the position anticipatedin our Strategic Plan which is very satisfactory although theoutcome was helped by higher than planned numbers ofgraduate students and the fact that there were some unfilledpermanent academic posts for reasons beyond the Collegersquoscontrol However it should be noted that the net movement infunds for the year of pound07m was slightly behind budget as there

were very few new capital donations above those already pledgedto the Bridging Centuries Campaign and other purposes

STEADY AS WE GO

NEW PORTERSrsquo LODGE

Now that all undergraduates are able to live on sitefor three years the College has more visitors andmembers actually in residence and it was becoming morechallenging for our Porters to provide the friendly andefficient service for which they are well known Inaddition to this as a College we were eager to en-sure step-free access for all visitors around our QuadsTerefore the Governing Body decided that funds should

be made available to redevelop our Lodge at the same timeas gently sloping the Old Quad to provide level access toChapel Quad

Te detailed design provided by our architects Ridgeand Partners LLP came up with a solution for a spaciousnew Lodge using a ground floor room on Staircase Oneand opening it up to the main entrance of the CollegeBoth English Heritage and the local Conservation Officer

were consulted and all nec essary consents were gra ntedTe work was carried out concurrently with that ofthe levelling of Old Quad Contractors Benfield andLoxley started work during the Easter Vacation requiringthe Samuel Johnson Building to be used as a temporaryentrance and Lodge and the Porters were able to moveinto their new home in August

Tis new space offers a wide and open counter soseveral people can be looked after at the same time some

welcome seating in the wa iting area and more spac e forthe equipment needed for a modern Lodge to operateeffectively Te old Lodge has been converted to house thepigeon holes with additional storage space for our ever-increasing parcel deliveries raditional materials wereused throughout and the style of the joinery echoes that

Consolidated Balance Sheet as at 31 July 2015

The gures shown are extracted from the Collegersquos statutory audited accounts for the year ended 31 st July 2015

The nancial statements were approved by the Governing Body on 2 nd December 2015 and have been posted on the Collegersquos website

With net incoming resources of pound07m and an investment ga in of pound27m the balance of the Colle gersquos funds rose by pound34mto pound744m

urning to the Collegersquos balance sheet there was l ittle change as tangible fixed a ssets reduced by pound08 m principally as a resultof a depreciation charge of pound12m Securities and other investments rose by pound 3m to pound519m due largely to a n increase in thevalue of investments of pound27m After deducting the long term creditors of pound141m which relates primarily to the Bank loantaken out to fund the balance of the new buildings and quadrangle the Collegersquos net funds were pound744m

Looking forward there are some threats to the current stabilit y of the Collegersquos finances for reasons beyond our control Sincethe introduction in 2012 of the new tuition fee for homeEU undergraduate students which is shared between the Universityand Colleges there has been no increase in its amount and the latest indications are that it will only be from 2017 that aninflation linking will be introduced Recently it was announced that the Collegiate University will lose some research and

special institutions funding As much has already been done to increase other sources of income notably conference andinvestment income this means it will be a challenge for the College to sustain its current level of income in real terms

Tere is also pressure on the cost side as employersrsquo national insurance and pension contributions are rising significantly which will adversely affect t he Collegersquos salar y bill which acc ounts for about half of our cost ba se We are therefore facingthe prospect of a squeeze on our profitability which underlines the critical need to continue to raise revenue donations tosupport our operations and capital donations for future major refurbishments and to build up further the CollegersquosEndowment which in turn will generate additional investment income

Against the background of the uncertainties relating to external funding Governing Body has decided to defer thefinalisation of its next Strategic Pla n for a year but in the meantime a short term plan c overing the period 2015ndash18 will be putin place to provide a framework for a range of current initiatives which wil l include a keen focus on cost effectiveness and ourplans to seek further financial support from the Collegersquos alumni and other supporters

ldquoAs the only American student at Pembroke

assistance and friendship from students and

faculty By the end of the academic year I had

been elected President of the Junior Common

ldquoPembroke means a great deal to both of us

both individually and as a couple It provides the

backdrop for so many important aspects of our

lives ndash not least the sense of belonging that being

part of the College community brings and needless

to say we have especially happy memories of our

wedding in the College Chapel

Donating to Pembroke for us at least means giving

something back to help ensure that current and future generations of

Pembrokians have a similarly positive experience Aruna is particularly

keen to support the Access initiatives as he rst considered applying

to Oxford after visiting Pembroke as part of one of these eventsrdquo

ldquoMy years at Pembroke were amongst the happiest

of my life The College was a source of support

intellectual stimulation and laughter while I

of excellence and can give Professor X (Sir Patrick Stewart) a proper

welcome when he nally visits his alma materrdquo

Piers was also an effective administrator and a diplomatic

colleague twice becoming acting Master of Pembroke Hislow-key and sensitive tact helped solve some serious problemsover the years although it was perhaps of less use when tryingto remonstrate at a College Ball in his capacity as Dean witha rampaging he Who in their 1960s ldquoprimerdquo

hat progress was accomplished largely by selling theUniversity Heights campus in the Bronx closing the engineeringschool paring full-time faculty positions merging graduateand undergraduate business programs cutting intercollegiatecompetition in baseball football and basketball and requiringvarious components of the university including the school ofsocial work to pay their own way

At the same time Dr Hester raised academic standards andfielded recruiters to reverse a decline in out-of-town students

Dr Hester once explained that he wound up in highereducation almost by accident During the American militaryoccupation of Japan he worked as a civilian supervising schoolsBut even as a self-described ldquoprofessional administratorrdquo heemerged as a national presence

He headed a White House task force on higher education thatin 1970 recommended an expansion of federal scholarshipsa larger commitment to black colleges grants to graduateschools and tax incentives to encourage private contributions

to universitiesLike other college presidents he contended with campus unrest

which brought unwelcome attention Until he qualified hissupport for the war in Vietnam by urging Americarsquos withdrawal assoon as possible he had been assailed by campus protesters

After the invasion of Cambodia and the fatal shooting byNational Guardsmen of four students during an anti-warprotest at Kent State University in Ohio in 1970 Dr Hester wrote an impassioned appeal to President Richard Nixonto ldquoconsider the incalculable dangers of an unprecedentedalienation of Americarsquos youthrdquo and to ldquoend the war quicklyrdquoIt was signed by the presidents of 37 colleges and universities

He also lamented the lack of social contact between blacksand whites who had reached comparable educational levels andpresciently warned of the depersonalizing impact of technology

On leaving Oxford Bernard joined the graduate entry schemeof ube Investments he was to be with a series of connectedcompanies throughout his working life including British Aluminium Alcan and a final management buy-out His workbrought him to all parts of the world in his capacity as MarketingManagerDirector his might be thought a surprising field forhim since he did not come across as a natural extrovert Nodoubt it was his integrity quiet determination and attention todetail together with a delicate sense of humour which broughthim success with customers and colleagues

When Bernard retired he was livi ng in a semi-rural villageoutside Solihull Here he enjoyed tennis and bridge with localfriends ndash as well as defeating ever encroaching local planningapplications

Not being content to remain anywhere for long he wasever on the move golfing and skiing holidaying with friendscalling on cousins in Perthshire and relaxing in Porthcawl

where with his sister Anne he had developed a shared secondhome overlooking the Bristol Channel here he would playgolf attend rugby matches and enjoy the tranquillity of theblue horizons

Having seemingly overcome skin and prostate cancer someyears earlier he was now suddenly faced with a canceroustumour against which he fought stubbornly for over a year When it was thought to have gone another appeared and thishe was unable to overcome

During his last days he enjoyed the support of his friend Juliaand was lovingly cared for by his sister Anne He leaves manyhappy memories where his comradeship and fun were alwaysto the fore His humour was understated and subtle he dislikedpomposity and would prick it gently where he could He wasparticularly good with children who would look forward tohis visits for his kindliness wry humour and encouragement

Although he set high standards for himself (and his friends)he was always there to help and guide others generous in givingand in his quiet way would go to great lengths to providesupport without ever asking for it himself He was determinedlyindependent often concealing his inner feelings whilst beingthoughtful and considerate for the feelings of others

He is much missed by many as was evident at his memorialservice and will be long remembered with great affection

SPORTS REPORT

Watching Pembrokersquos sporting yearunfold was a bit like following imHenman during his Wimbledon glorydays ndash so much hope and expectation atthe outset but ultimate disappointmentby the end Tis is not to say it wasnrsquot asuccessful season on many fronts fromPembrokersquos sportsmen and womenbut the Collegersquos teams did manage todevelop an uncanny knack of finishingrunners up in Cuppers competitionsthat is perhaps unprecedented in recentyears

Without doubt the most successful sportthis year was football with both menrsquosand womenrsquos teams dominating theirrespective leagues and being crownedchampions with time to spa re Te menrsquos

team often inspired by top scorer Alexsaptsinos reached the Cuppers finalbefore being cruelly beaten by Balliol

with the womenrsquos side unfortunatelyalso falling at the final hurdle in theirCuppers competition Special mentionsshould go to womenrsquos scoring sensation

Pembroke also added a second placefinish in Sailing with a Richard Baugh-inspired Rugby team falling just shortin the Cuppers plate competition andthe netball team amazingly avoidedrelegation thanks to a late surge fromKenny Dada and co

However perhaps the most satisfyingaspect of Pembrokersquos sporting season

was the array of talent amongst anenergetic bunch of Freshers who willundoubtedly secure success in years tocome Te enthusiasm of the Collegersquosnewest intake was best shown by thesheer array of competitions enteredby Pembroke teams this year whichincluded not only the usual suspectssuch as hockey tennis and darts butalso ultimate frisbee trampoliningand cheerleading to boot IndeedPembrokersquos unwavering ability to lsquohavea go at anythingrsquo was best embodied bythe enigmatic duo of Laurence Wroeand Nathan Wragg who demonstratedan unparalleled ability to compete in

Motivated to continue the hard work of our preceding Chairsand inspired by the potential of my new platform as JCR

Womenrsquos Rep I set about generating new enthusiasm andengagement with Pembrokersquos feminist discussions ogether

with the support of Emily Annand Sarah Wilmshurst andcommitted Social Secretaries James Richardson and Olivia Porter

we introduced newly structured ha lf-hour meetings which v isiblyincreased attendance Organising a wide variety of discussionsincluding the Ched Evans case sexism at work and Game ofTrones ensured Pembrokians had a regular chance to engage withkey theoretical and topical issues

Peminists has always emphasised the importance of acceptanceengagement and learning Our ethos meant many students simplyturned up to listen to other opinions and voices reporting they

attended because Peminists is an unusually approachable non-judgemental and inclusive forum Our discussions were brightened

and energised by record numbers of attendees in particular male students contributing to a diverse range of conversations

Early in Michaelmas term we chose to support charity Plan UK and their Because I Am a Girl campaign by taking part in aFace Up initiative Students were photographed with the phrase Irsquom putting girlsrsquo rights where they canrsquot be ignored digitally writtenon their faces adding to thousands of othersrsquo photos breaking the silence on violence against girls around the world Ourparticipation was picked up by the Oxford Mail who featured the story

During rinity term Sandra Ahmaya came to College to speak and host a Peminists QampA As an active feminist and campaignerfor womenrsquos rights based in Makerere University Uganda she spoke to us about FGM sexual assault and gender discrimination

within her University It felt very special to be reaching out to inspirational feminist students from beyond Oxford and the session was my personal highlight of chairi ng Peminists I rea lly canrsquot wait to see what the future holds for our new chair Ronni a s wecontinue to make the fight for gender equality a key pillar of our Collegersquos undergraduate ethos

ACCESSING PEMBROKETe Pembroke Access strategy continues to grow In narrowrecruitment terms it now affects about 9 of ourapplications across a range of subjects although we have yetto see a Finalist come through However as I write we nowhave five Hub Schools (in Hammersmith and FulhamGreater Manchester and South Cheshire) acting as aconduit to many linked schools in those areas and we are

working in pa rtnership with a large number of universities andthird-sector organisations We continue to work most intenselyin South Cheshire East Manches ter Hackney Westminster andmost recently Wigan

At the end of a period of public funding by Te London SchoolsExcellence Fund (provided by Te Mayor of London andthe Department for Education) the London Centre forLanguages and Cultures (LCLC) moved from Hammersmithto Westminster Academy Te LCLC is about to be joined by

a counterpart in Manchester and continues to enjoy the fullsupport of Te Op en University

Te Science Centre in South Cheshire flourishes and has been joined by a Corpus Christi Colle ge sponsored Centre and Hubin central Manchester Tis has allowed us to create a networkserving the whole of the North West Te Teology and ReligiousStudies Centre based in Ashton Sixth Form College Ashton-Under-Lyne continues to be run in close conjunction with anumber of universities including Durham Lancaster Sheffield

and Manchester and it too has joined this network

Last year I expressed the hope that there would be furtheradoption of the Pembroke approach by other Colleges Terecontinues to be an increased number of Colleges that are

indeed working along the sa me lines and the University have nowrecognised this work under the collective banner of OxNet

DEATHS

It is with great sadness that we report the death of Matthew Morgan (1969 ndash 2015)

Charlie Harris Deputy Home Bursar ldquoI first met Matt 11 years ago but onlyreally got to know him when I joined Pembroke in 2006 Straight away we hit a bondndash sport Monday mornings would always consist of lengthy discussions whether it beabout Wolves FC Gloucester Rugby England cricke t Hersquod always enquire ab out myown contributions to the cricket score if I was playing for my local team and I haveto admit sometimes I didnrsquot tell him the whole truth as I know the abuse Irsquod receive

for the next few d ayshellipIt just wasnrsquot worth it As a work colleague Matt was anunsung hero here at College He wouldhelp anybody do the jobs that no oneelse wanted to do never moan (much)but come 10am everything stopped hersquodmake a cup of tea and make his way toldquoMattrsquos steprdquo on Staircase 7 where hersquod

watch the world go by and chat to all

But Matt wasnrsquot just a workcolleague he was a true friend and not

just to me but to a ll of Pembroke a nd tothe wider Community You are very sadlymissed Mattrdquo

Tis year has been a year for change acrossall of the domestic operation changesto the way we work the way we procuregoods and services and most importantlyhow we support academic life in College

We st arted the year by listening to theCollege community and tried to matchaspirations and good ideas to our resourcesand priorities Many of our students asked

us to provide a space where they couldsocialise but which was defined as analcohol-free zone So we opened FarthingsCafeacute until 10pm on four nights a weekand extended hours at the weekends ndash

this means that it is now open seven daysa week during term Tis provides a firstclass social and work space for all of theCollege community and feedback hasbeen extremely positive

We also listened to the revitalised StudentFood Committee some wanted morecarbs some wanted less carbs some wantedflexibility around when they needed toattend Formal Hall and others just wantedto feedback what was the most popularmenu amongst the student body KevinDudley Executive Chef has spent hoursre-designing menu choices and working

with our kitchen brigade to respond tothese (and other) requests to the effectthat feedback has improved dramaticallyover the year Te implementation of asystem whereby a designated chef cooks

meals for those with dietary demands hasalso helped cater for those students whohave specific requirements or allergiesNext term we are sitting down with the

JCR to try and develop a more flexiblesystem around Formal Hall ndash particularlyduring exam season

Tis year we really got our act togetheron the Summer Ball and the studentcommittee made sure that they delivereda fantastic event (one which made a tidyprofit for charity ndash Save the Children beingthe chosen benefactor) We changed what

we used to do ma de new areas availableand ensured that student organisers had

staff mentors they could turn to for adviceon any particular aspect

Students told us they want to stay longerin College at the end of terms and thisyear every student who requested tostay up at the end of rinity erm ndash foracademic reasons ndash was accommodated

We managed this by seeking out externalevents that were academic related or access

focused and which would dovetail easilyaround students continuing to study

2014 ndash 2015 was the busiest conferenceseason ever and yet we still managed tosqueeze in four wedding ceremonies andall the standard functions the Collegeenjoys

We also listened to Fellows and Alumniabout our guest rooms and we havestarted a rolling refurbishment programmeto freshen up the rooms we have TeMustard Room benefited not only froma new bathroom new furniture and fullredecoration but also the hanging of thebeautiful Hugh Casson watercolourskindly donated by Philip Jagger (1949)

Last year I reported that the Collegersquos financial positionreflected the impact of the additional income and costs relating tothe new buildings becoming fully operational Tis year we havemade good progress in refining this new way of working Tebusiness case established for the programme of works madecertain assu mptions about the additional income and costs which

would re sult f rom the expanded operations a nd it is pleasingto note that overall those assumptions have been validated bythe actual experience In particular the level of our conferencebusiness has continued to build and Pembroke is now one of

the more active Oxford Colleges in this area with a growingreputation

In what was essentially a year of financial consolidation thefinancial results of the College in 2014-15 were very satisfactory

otal incoming resources decreased by pound03m to pound112m Tisdecrease was primarily due to a reduction in donations which atpound19m were pound09m lower than the previous year as capital pledgesto the Bridging Centuries Campaign continued to be paid downsteadily and tailed off However it was good to see that the levelof revenue donations picked up

Te underlying increase in operating income reflectedbuoyant numbers of graduate students the high levels ofconference income and increased investment income reflectingthe growth in the Collegersquos long term investment portfolio duelargely to the rise of stock markets in recent years Te Collegeis reliant upon the income drawn down from the long terminvestment portfolio and this year the total return was 87

which was well above the benchmark target of 5

On the cost side total resources expended reduced by pound04m topound105m but it should be noted that there w as an e xceptional itemin last yearrsquos figures and after adjusting for this there was a small

increase of pound02m which reflects a tight control of costs after theincrease seen in the previous year when the additional resources

were required

So once again at the operating level the Collegersquos financialresults exceeded both the budget and the position anticipatedin our Strategic Plan which is very satisfactory although theoutcome was helped by higher than planned numbers ofgraduate students and the fact that there were some unfilledpermanent academic posts for reasons beyond the Collegersquoscontrol However it should be noted that the net movement infunds for the year of pound07m was slightly behind budget as there

were very few new capital donations above those already pledgedto the Bridging Centuries Campaign and other purposes

STEADY AS WE GO

NEW PORTERSrsquo LODGE

Now that all undergraduates are able to live on sitefor three years the College has more visitors andmembers actually in residence and it was becoming morechallenging for our Porters to provide the friendly andefficient service for which they are well known Inaddition to this as a College we were eager to en-sure step-free access for all visitors around our QuadsTerefore the Governing Body decided that funds should

be made available to redevelop our Lodge at the same timeas gently sloping the Old Quad to provide level access toChapel Quad

Te detailed design provided by our architects Ridgeand Partners LLP came up with a solution for a spaciousnew Lodge using a ground floor room on Staircase Oneand opening it up to the main entrance of the CollegeBoth English Heritage and the local Conservation Officer

were consulted and all nec essary consents were gra ntedTe work was carried out concurrently with that ofthe levelling of Old Quad Contractors Benfield andLoxley started work during the Easter Vacation requiringthe Samuel Johnson Building to be used as a temporaryentrance and Lodge and the Porters were able to moveinto their new home in August

Tis new space offers a wide and open counter soseveral people can be looked after at the same time some

welcome seating in the wa iting area and more spac e forthe equipment needed for a modern Lodge to operateeffectively Te old Lodge has been converted to house thepigeon holes with additional storage space for our ever-increasing parcel deliveries raditional materials wereused throughout and the style of the joinery echoes that

of the new buildings which makes for an interestingconnection between the oldest and newest parts ofthe College

Consolidated Balance Sheet as at 31 July 2015

The gures shown are extracted from the Collegersquos statutory audited accounts for the year ended 31 st July 2015

The nancial statements were approved by the Governing Body on 2 nd December 2015 and have been posted on the Collegersquos website

With net incoming resources of pound07m and an investment ga in of pound27m the balance of the Colle gersquos funds rose by pound34mto pound744m

urning to the Collegersquos balance sheet there was l ittle change as tangible fixed a ssets reduced by pound08 m principally as a resultof a depreciation charge of pound12m Securities and other investments rose by pound 3m to pound519m due largely to a n increase in thevalue of investments of pound27m After deducting the long term creditors of pound141m which relates primarily to the Bank loantaken out to fund the balance of the new buildings and quadrangle the Collegersquos net funds were pound744m

Looking forward there are some threats to the current stabilit y of the Collegersquos finances for reasons beyond our control Sincethe introduction in 2012 of the new tuition fee for homeEU undergraduate students which is shared between the Universityand Colleges there has been no increase in its amount and the latest indications are that it will only be from 2017 that aninflation linking will be introduced Recently it was announced that the Collegiate University will lose some research and

special institutions funding As much has already been done to increase other sources of income notably conference andinvestment income this means it will be a challenge for the College to sustain its current level of income in real terms

Tere is also pressure on the cost side as employersrsquo national insurance and pension contributions are rising significantly which will adversely affect t he Collegersquos salar y bill which acc ounts for about half of our cost ba se We are therefore facingthe prospect of a squeeze on our profitability which underlines the critical need to continue to raise revenue donations tosupport our operations and capital donations for future major refurbishments and to build up further the CollegersquosEndowment which in turn will generate additional investment income

Against the background of the uncertainties relating to external funding Governing Body has decided to defer thefinalisation of its next Strategic Pla n for a year but in the meantime a short term plan c overing the period 2015ndash18 will be putin place to provide a framework for a range of current initiatives which wil l include a keen focus on cost effectiveness and ourplans to seek further financial support from the Collegersquos alumni and other supporters

part of the College community brings and needless

to say we have especially happy memories of our

wedding in the College Chapel

Donating to Pembroke for us at least means giving

something back to help ensure that current and future generations of

Pembrokians have a similarly positive experience Aruna is particularly

keen to support the Access initiatives as he rst considered applying

to Oxford after visiting Pembroke as part of one of these eventsrdquo

During his life Godfrey encountered some remarkablepeople He studied the philosophy of Guerdjej author of Alland Everything and personally knew Idris Shah Russell andVera Page and many other writers of distinction

John Platt (1956) writes ldquoGodfrey always remained loyalto his old College I recall that for many years from the early1970s he regularly attend the annual dinners of the PembrokeCollege Society In 1984 when under the leadership of theMaster Sir Geoffrey Arthur an appeal was made for muchneeded funds Godfrey freely offered his expert services for theproduction of the brochure which launched what proved to bea very successful campaignrdquo

Godfrey decided to leave London and the rat race ofadvertising and moved to Addington in the heart of theBuckinghamshire countryside Soon afterwards he met hissecond wife Francoise Legrand in 1975 As a couple theystarted to enjoy a creative life ndash Godfrey writing books andFrancoise doing black and white photography ogether theypublished Boatopia (1986) and Paris the Essential City (1988)for which he provided the text and she the photographs

He went up to Pembroke for the Michaelmas erm 1944to read Jurisprudence under the Admiralty Y Scheme whereby potential officers could spend six months atuniversity combining academic study and naval training Hiscontemporary Roff Rayner (1944) said ldquoIt was a strange timein blacked out Oxford with Pembroke largely occupied by theMinistry of Agriculture and only a score or so undergraduatesNevertheless it was enough to give an idea of what Universitylife might be like On demobilisation in 1947 Walter returnedto Pembroke with enthusiasmrdquo

Walter wrote ldquo[I] seized the opportunity to enjoy theactivities on offer there rightly anticipating that such a chance would not come again [I] played the violin in the OxfordOrchestra and the orchestras of the Opera and Music Clubsand was a member of the Pembroke College Quartet which wasinvited to perform in a Sunday evening Balliol College concert

[I] also played folk music with the Cecil Sharp Club and evenmanaged to be President of the Blackstone Societyrdquo

But when all is said and done Walter was a family manHis marriage to Shirley was a good and sustaining one Of ittouchingly but perceptively he said this

ldquo[I] married Shirley in 1957 and we celebrated 57 yearstogetherhellip thanks to her good care and cooking hard workand common senserdquo

He brought his children up with a strong public service ethicconsonant with his belief that to practise was to serve he RGScontinued to hold an abiding fascination and he was pleasedthat his son and t hree of his grandsons followed him there

In his historiographical methodology John would nevercherry-pick examples that supported his case he had nointerest in advancing a theory but in trawling the evidence toseek whatever conclusion would emerge then be maintained with doubt and modified as further evidence appeared He was one of the ver y few people who lsquospoke prosersquo abhorringclicheacutes or catchphrases though taking a slightly amused viewof them

hat progress was accomplished largely by selling theUniversity Heights campus in the Bronx closing the engineeringschool paring full-time faculty positions merging graduateand undergraduate business programs cutting intercollegiatecompetition in baseball football and basketball and requiringvarious components of the university including the school ofsocial work to pay their own way

At the same time Dr Hester raised academic standards andfielded recruiters to reverse a decline in out-of-town students

Dr Hester once explained that he wound up in highereducation almost by accident During the American militaryoccupation of Japan he worked as a civilian supervising schoolsBut even as a self-described ldquoprofessional administratorrdquo heemerged as a national presence

He headed a White House task force on higher education thatin 1970 recommended an expansion of federal scholarshipsa larger commitment to black colleges grants to graduateschools and tax incentives to encourage private contributions

to universitiesLike other college presidents he contended with campus unrest

which brought unwelcome attention Until he qualified hissupport for the war in Vietnam by urging Americarsquos withdrawal assoon as possible he had been assailed by campus protesters

After the invasion of Cambodia and the fatal shooting byNational Guardsmen of four students during an anti-warprotest at Kent State University in Ohio in 1970 Dr Hester wrote an impassioned appeal to President Richard Nixonto ldquoconsider the incalculable dangers of an unprecedentedalienation of Americarsquos youthrdquo and to ldquoend the war quicklyrdquoIt was signed by the presidents of 37 colleges and universities

He also lamented the lack of social contact between blacksand whites who had reached comparable educational levels andpresciently warned of the depersonalizing impact of technology

As Baudelaire wrote in lsquoElevationrsquo (from lsquoLes Fleurs du Malrsquo)

Heureux celui qui peut drsquoune aile vigoureuse srsquoeacutelancer vers les champs lumineux et serein

Come winter Bernard would be off again for warmer climesbut returning always to spend Christmas with his sister and herfamily

Having seemingly overcome skin and prostate cancer someyears earlier he was now suddenly faced with a canceroustumour against which he fought stubbornly for over a year When it was thought to have gone another appeared and thishe was unable to overcome

During his last days he enjoyed the support of his friend Juliaand was lovingly cared for by his sister Anne He leaves manyhappy memories where his comradeship and fun were alwaysto the fore His humour was understated and subtle he dislikedpomposity and would prick it gently where he could He wasparticularly good with children who would look forward tohis visits for his kindliness wry humour and encouragement

Although he set high standards for himself (and his friends)he was always there to help and guide others generous in givingand in his quiet way would go to great lengths to providesupport without ever asking for it himself He was determinedlyindependent often concealing his inner feelings whilst beingthoughtful and considerate for the feelings of others

He is much missed by many as was evident at his memorialservice and will be long remembered with great affection

During this time David found a love for classical musicespecially opera and visiting museums and art galleries He was awarded a place at Pembroke College where he progressed

well in GreatsDuring the long holidays he would do some studying and

often visited friends who lived on a farm in a minute village with no shops Once he went walking along the Ridgeway

After University he was unsure about what he wanted to dobut took a job at Buckingham Palace Road Library After ashort time the Chief Librarian suggested that he took a post-graduate library qualification He was then offered a place at Aberystwyth

After this he took a job at he British Steel Corporation butleft when they relocated to Sheffield His next job was at theInternational Chamber of Commerce and it was during thistime that he was knocked down on a zebra crossing by a bus which caused severe bruising of his brain

He enjoyed his time at the International Chamber ofCommerce there were a good mix of employees and they oftenmet at weekends for Sunday afternoon tea or dinner and tookturns in cooking

He was approached by Durries a shipping company to workfor them keeping t he records in order hey moved to Canary Wharf which made it more difficult for David to get to theopera or concerts During the recession he was made redundant

David then changed his career path altogether and began working at a centre for the mentally handicapped Here hehelped with delivery of free newspapers gardening cooking

shopping and other tasks to help visitors to the centre becomemore independent

He joined the Friends of Kew Gardens and I accompaniedhim on many trips to different gardens When the Centremoved to Essex it was too far for David to travel so he wasagain without a job

During his life David had travelled to Egypt down theRhine and visited his great love Russia His last trip there was with a friend during the White Nights Festival

he family noticed the deterioration of his health It was agreat shock to be informed of his death

Oval and he returned to studying archaeology and aspects ofancient Rome Mike had continued to keep abreast of recentdevelopments in his subject and was in ongoing contact withan academic at Wadham and was planning a further degree

Sadly however Mike was unable to make much progress with this work as his illness became untreatable sooner thanexpected

Mike was a highly individual non-conformist He had anastute analytical mind He was kind and loyal and generousHe was extremely thoughtful not only with regard to peoplebut also with regard to his academic interests and to thepolitical issues of the day

He is greatly missed

Motivated to continue the hard work of our preceding Chairsand inspired by the potential of my new platform as JCR

Womenrsquos Rep I set about generating new enthusiasm andengagement with Pembrokersquos feminist discussions ogether

with the support of Emily Annand Sarah Wilmshurst andcommitted Social Secretaries James Richardson and Olivia Porter

we introduced newly structured ha lf-hour meetings which v isiblyincreased attendance Organising a wide variety of discussionsincluding the Ched Evans case sexism at work and Game ofTrones ensured Pembrokians had a regular chance to engage withkey theoretical and topical issues

Peminists has always emphasised the importance of acceptanceengagement and learning Our ethos meant many students simplyturned up to listen to other opinions and voices reporting they

attended because Peminists is an unusually approachable non-judgemental and inclusive forum Our discussions were brightened

and energised by record numbers of attendees in particular male students contributing to a diverse range of conversations

Early in Michaelmas term we chose to support charity Plan UK and their Because I Am a Girl campaign by taking part in aFace Up initiative Students were photographed with the phrase Irsquom putting girlsrsquo rights where they canrsquot be ignored digitally writtenon their faces adding to thousands of othersrsquo photos breaking the silence on violence against girls around the world Ourparticipation was picked up by the Oxford Mail who featured the story

During rinity term Sandra Ahmaya came to College to speak and host a Peminists QampA As an active feminist and campaignerfor womenrsquos rights based in Makerere University Uganda she spoke to us about FGM sexual assault and gender discrimination

within her University It felt very special to be reaching out to inspirational feminist students from beyond Oxford and the session was my personal highlight of chairi ng Peminists I rea lly canrsquot wait to see what the future holds for our new chair Ronni a s wecontinue to make the fight for gender equality a key pillar of our Collegersquos undergraduate ethos

2015 has been a year of new beginnings for thePembroke JCR Art Fund In Hilary term for thefirst time in its history the gallery was openedto the public commemorated by a special talkgiven by Penelope Curtis Director of ate BritainMs Curtis offered a unique perspective oncurating British art and we were thrilled to show herour collection During rinity term the Gallery hasbeen open twice weekly during term and is staffed by

a team of student volunteers I have had the privilege of speakin g to many visitors to the Gallery who have come from all overEngland delighted this important collection has finally been lsquounveiledrsquo

In rinity erm of this year we staged our first temporary exhibition John Bratby and Jean Cooke Who is Slaving at theKitchen Sink Te exhibition was comprised of works loaned from the Royal Academy from Colleges in Oxford and fromgalleries and private collections in London We were delighted to host Dr Greg Salter at the Exhibitionrsquos opening whooffered valuable insight into the tempestuous relationship of the artist-couple John Bratby and Jean Cooke We received anoverwhelmingly positive response to the exhibition from students visitors and in the local press Students in particularexpressed their fondness for one of the exhibitionrsquos key pieces Cinema Paradiso by Jean Cooke o commemorate theexhibition and celebrate our achievement the Art Fund decided to buy Cookersquos painting for this yearrsquos major acquisition

Tere have been other lsquofirstsrsquo behind the scenes most notably our new external volunteers Students from the wider JCR are

now involved as gallery lsquointernsrsquo and we have taken on volunteers from the art world as advisors and gallery helpers I haveno doubt that the JCR Art Fund will continue to go from strength to streng th It has been my privilege to be a part of it andI look forward to what is in store

ACCESSING PEMBROKETe Pembroke Access strategy continues to grow In narrowrecruitment terms it now affects about 9 of ourapplications across a range of subjects although we have yetto see a Finalist come through However as I write we nowhave five Hub Schools (in Hammersmith and FulhamGreater Manchester and South Cheshire) acting as aconduit to many linked schools in those areas and we are

working in pa rtnership with a large number of universities andthird-sector organisations We continue to work most intenselyin South Cheshire East Manches ter Hackney Westminster andmost recently Wigan

At the end of a period of public funding by Te London SchoolsExcellence Fund (provided by Te Mayor of London andthe Department for Education) the London Centre forLanguages and Cultures (LCLC) moved from Hammersmithto Westminster Academy Te LCLC is about to be joined by

a counterpart in Manchester and continues to enjoy the fullsupport of Te Op en University

Te Science Centre in South Cheshire flourishes and has been joined by a Corpus Christi Colle ge sponsored Centre and Hubin central Manchester Tis has allowed us to create a networkserving the whole of the North West Te Teology and ReligiousStudies Centre based in Ashton Sixth Form College Ashton-Under-Lyne continues to be run in close conjunction with anumber of universities including Durham Lancaster Sheffield

and Manchester and it too has joined this network

Last year I expressed the hope that there would be furtheradoption of the Pembroke approach by other Colleges Terecontinues to be an increased number of Colleges that are

indeed working along the sa me lines and the University have nowrecognised this work under the collective banner of OxNet

Finally Irsquod like the thank the JCR who have pledged to givepound10000 to access initiatives in College Further two membersof the JCR designed Pembroke paper pads that were sold to raiseadditional funds for Access work

Tere is growing recognition of the value of the study of Languagesin schools not only for the economic benefits they bring but alsofor the cultural and civic values that they foster However recent

reports have revealed that this is an area in which the UK is failingleading to a decline in the subject being taken up at university leveland a reduction in the number of languages available for study

DEATHS

It is with great sadness that we report the death of Matthew Morgan (1969 ndash 2015)

Charlie Harris Deputy Home Bursar ldquoI first met Matt 11 years ago but onlyreally got to know him when I joined Pembroke in 2006 Straight away we hit a bondndash sport Monday mornings would always consist of lengthy discussions whether it beabout Wolves FC Gloucester Rugby England cricke t Hersquod always enquire ab out myown contributions to the cricket score if I was playing for my local team and I haveto admit sometimes I didnrsquot tell him the whole truth as I know the abuse Irsquod receive

for the next few d ayshellipIt just wasnrsquot worth it As a work colleague Matt was anunsung hero here at College He wouldhelp anybody do the jobs that no oneelse wanted to do never moan (much)but come 10am everything stopped hersquodmake a cup of tea and make his way toldquoMattrsquos steprdquo on Staircase 7 where hersquod

watch the world go by and chat to all

But Matt wasnrsquot just a workcolleague he was a true friend and not

just to me but to a ll of Pembroke a nd tothe wider Community You are very sadlymissed Mattrdquo

Tis year has been a year for change acrossall of the domestic operation changesto the way we work the way we procuregoods and services and most importantlyhow we support academic life in College

We st arted the year by listening to theCollege community and tried to matchaspirations and good ideas to our resourcesand priorities Many of our students asked

us to provide a space where they couldsocialise but which was defined as analcohol-free zone So we opened FarthingsCafeacute until 10pm on four nights a weekand extended hours at the weekends ndash

this means that it is now open seven daysa week during term Tis provides a firstclass social and work space for all of theCollege community and feedback hasbeen extremely positive

We also listened to the revitalised StudentFood Committee some wanted morecarbs some wanted less carbs some wantedflexibility around when they needed toattend Formal Hall and others just wantedto feedback what was the most popularmenu amongst the student body KevinDudley Executive Chef has spent hoursre-designing menu choices and working

with our kitchen brigade to respond tothese (and other) requests to the effectthat feedback has improved dramaticallyover the year Te implementation of asystem whereby a designated chef cooks

meals for those with dietary demands hasalso helped cater for those students whohave specific requirements or allergiesNext term we are sitting down with the

JCR to try and develop a more flexiblesystem around Formal Hall ndash particularlyduring exam season

Tis year we really got our act togetheron the Summer Ball and the studentcommittee made sure that they delivereda fantastic event (one which made a tidyprofit for charity ndash Save the Children beingthe chosen benefactor) We changed what

we used to do ma de new areas availableand ensured that student organisers had

staff mentors they could turn to for adviceon any particular aspect

Students told us they want to stay longerin College at the end of terms and thisyear every student who requested tostay up at the end of rinity erm ndash foracademic reasons ndash was accommodated

We managed this by seeking out externalevents that were academic related or access

focused and which would dovetail easilyaround students continuing to study

2014 ndash 2015 was the busiest conferenceseason ever and yet we still managed tosqueeze in four wedding ceremonies andall the standard functions the Collegeenjoys

We also listened to Fellows and Alumniabout our guest rooms and we havestarted a rolling refurbishment programmeto freshen up the rooms we have TeMustard Room benefited not only froma new bathroom new furniture and fullredecoration but also the hanging of thebeautiful Hugh Casson watercolourskindly donated by Philip Jagger (1949)

Last year I reported that the Collegersquos financial positionreflected the impact of the additional income and costs relating tothe new buildings becoming fully operational Tis year we havemade good progress in refining this new way of working Tebusiness case established for the programme of works madecertain assu mptions about the additional income and costs which

would re sult f rom the expanded operations a nd it is pleasingto note that overall those assumptions have been validated bythe actual experience In particular the level of our conferencebusiness has continued to build and Pembroke is now one of

the more active Oxford Colleges in this area with a growingreputation

In what was essentially a year of financial consolidation thefinancial results of the College in 2014-15 were very satisfactory

otal incoming resources decreased by pound03m to pound112m Tisdecrease was primarily due to a reduction in donations which atpound19m were pound09m lower than the previous year as capital pledgesto the Bridging Centuries Campaign continued to be paid downsteadily and tailed off However it was good to see that the levelof revenue donations picked up

Te underlying increase in operating income reflectedbuoyant numbers of graduate students the high levels ofconference income and increased investment income reflectingthe growth in the Collegersquos long term investment portfolio duelargely to the rise of stock markets in recent years Te Collegeis reliant upon the income drawn down from the long terminvestment portfolio and this year the total return was 87

which was well above the benchmark target of 5

On the cost side total resources expended reduced by pound04m topound105m but it should be noted that there w as an e xceptional itemin last yearrsquos figures and after adjusting for this there was a small

increase of pound02m which reflects a tight control of costs after theincrease seen in the previous year when the additional resources

were required

So once again at the operating level the Collegersquos financialresults exceeded both the budget and the position anticipatedin our Strategic Plan which is very satisfactory although theoutcome was helped by higher than planned numbers ofgraduate students and the fact that there were some unfilledpermanent academic posts for reasons beyond the Collegersquoscontrol However it should be noted that the net movement infunds for the year of pound07m was slightly behind budget as there

were very few new capital donations above those already pledgedto the Bridging Centuries Campaign and other purposes

STEADY AS WE GO

NEW PORTERSrsquo LODGE

Now that all undergraduates are able to live on sitefor three years the College has more visitors andmembers actually in residence and it was becoming morechallenging for our Porters to provide the friendly andefficient service for which they are well known Inaddition to this as a College we were eager to en-sure step-free access for all visitors around our QuadsTerefore the Governing Body decided that funds should

be made available to redevelop our Lodge at the same timeas gently sloping the Old Quad to provide level access toChapel Quad

Te detailed design provided by our architects Ridgeand Partners LLP came up with a solution for a spaciousnew Lodge using a ground floor room on Staircase Oneand opening it up to the main entrance of the CollegeBoth English Heritage and the local Conservation Officer

were consulted and all nec essary consents were gra ntedTe work was carried out concurrently with that ofthe levelling of Old Quad Contractors Benfield andLoxley started work during the Easter Vacation requiringthe Samuel Johnson Building to be used as a temporaryentrance and Lodge and the Porters were able to moveinto their new home in August

Tis new space offers a wide and open counter soseveral people can be looked after at the same time some

welcome seating in the wa iting area and more spac e forthe equipment needed for a modern Lodge to operateeffectively Te old Lodge has been converted to house thepigeon holes with additional storage space for our ever-increasing parcel deliveries raditional materials wereused throughout and the style of the joinery echoes that

of the new buildings which makes for an interestingconnection between the oldest and newest parts ofthe College

urning to the Collegersquos balance sheet there was l ittle change as tangible fixed a ssets reduced by pound08 m principally as a resultof a depreciation charge of pound12m Securities and other investments rose by pound 3m to pound519m due largely to a n increase in thevalue of investments of pound27m After deducting the long term creditors of pound141m which relates primarily to the Bank loantaken out to fund the balance of the new buildings and quadrangle the Collegersquos net funds were pound744m

Looking forward there are some threats to the current stabilit y of the Collegersquos finances for reasons beyond our control Sincethe introduction in 2012 of the new tuition fee for homeEU undergraduate students which is shared between the Universityand Colleges there has been no increase in its amount and the latest indications are that it will only be from 2017 that aninflation linking will be introduced Recently it was announced that the Collegiate University will lose some research and

special institutions funding As much has already been done to increase other sources of income notably conference andinvestment income this means it will be a challenge for the College to sustain its current level of income in real terms

Tere is also pressure on the cost side as employersrsquo national insurance and pension contributions are rising significantly which will adversely affect t he Collegersquos salar y bill which acc ounts for about half of our cost ba se We are therefore facingthe prospect of a squeeze on our profitability which underlines the critical need to continue to raise revenue donations tosupport our operations and capital donations for future major refurbishments and to build up further the CollegersquosEndowment which in turn will generate additional investment income

Against the background of the uncertainties relating to external funding Governing Body has decided to defer thefinalisation of its next Strategic Pla n for a year but in the meantime a short term plan c overing the period 2015ndash18 will be putin place to provide a framework for a range of current initiatives which wil l include a keen focus on cost effectiveness and ourplans to seek further financial support from the Collegersquos alumni and other supporters

both individually and as a couple It provides the

backdrop for so many important aspects of our

lives ndash not least the sense of belonging that being

part of the College community brings and needless

to say we have especially happy memories of our

wedding in the College Chapel

Donating to Pembroke for us at least means giving

something back to help ensure that current and future generations of

Pembrokians have a similarly positive experience Aruna is particularly

keen to support the Access initiatives as he rst considered applying

to Oxford after visiting Pembroke as part of one of these eventsrdquo

such work that I haveever encounteredrdquoand highlighted itsldquostriking parallelsrdquo with recent Americanmistakes in Iraq

Piers was also an effective administrator and a diplomatic

colleague twice becoming acting Master of Pembroke Hislow-key and sensitive tact helped solve some serious problemsover the years although it was perhaps of less use when tryingto remonstrate at a College Ball in his capacity as Dean witha rampaging he Who in their 1960s ldquoprimerdquo

In 1927 Jamesrsquos father retired from

He trained as a Junior House Doctor at the RadcliffeInfirmary and following qualification he became interested inthoracic medicine and so spent some time as a Senior HouseOfficer at the Osler Pavilion the B Sanatorium attached tothe Radcliffe Infirmary It was at the Osler Pavilion that he firstmet Mary his wife to be

James was highly regarded by the medical communityin the Norfolk area both for his specialist thoracic and his wider general medical knowledge James took the decision

not to become a consultant himself but in recognition of hisachievements at Kelling he was proposed by his consultantcolleagues for Fellowship of the Royal College of Physiciansand Fellowship which was granted in 1965

In 1983 James retired from his working life at KellingHospital but remained very much in touch with the Hospitaland became heavily involved with the local community andfund raising

James had a great love for music and was a very accomplishedamateur cello player He played in many local orchestras stringquartets and trios He also played with some of the larger orchestrasin the area when they needed the number of cellos increased forperformances in larger churches and cathedrals in Norwich

He went up to Pembroke for the Michaelmas erm 1944to read Jurisprudence under the Admiralty Y Scheme whereby potential officers could spend six months atuniversity combining academic study and naval training Hiscontemporary Roff Rayner (1944) said ldquoIt was a strange timein blacked out Oxford with Pembroke largely occupied by theMinistry of Agriculture and only a score or so undergraduatesNevertheless it was enough to give an idea of what Universitylife might be like On demobilisation in 1947 Walter returnedto Pembroke with enthusiasmrdquo

Walter wrote ldquo[I] seized the opportunity to enjoy theactivities on offer there rightly anticipating that such a chance would not come again [I] played the violin in the OxfordOrchestra and the orchestras of the Opera and Music Clubsand was a member of the Pembroke College Quartet which wasinvited to perform in a Sunday evening Balliol College concert

hat progress was accomplished largely by selling theUniversity Heights campus in the Bronx closing the engineeringschool paring full-time faculty positions merging graduateand undergraduate business programs cutting intercollegiatecompetition in baseball football and basketball and requiringvarious components of the university including the school ofsocial work to pay their own way

At the same time Dr Hester raised academic standards andfielded recruiters to reverse a decline in out-of-town students

Dr Hester once explained that he wound up in highereducation almost by accident During the American militaryoccupation of Japan he worked as a civilian supervising schoolsBut even as a self-described ldquoprofessional administratorrdquo heemerged as a national presence

He headed a White House task force on higher education thatin 1970 recommended an expansion of federal scholarshipsa larger commitment to black colleges grants to graduateschools and tax incentives to encourage private contributions

to universitiesLike other college presidents he contended with campus unrest

which brought unwelcome attention Until he qualified hissupport for the war in Vietnam by urging Americarsquos withdrawal assoon as possible he had been assailed by campus protesters

After the invasion of Cambodia and the fatal shooting byNational Guardsmen of four students during an anti-warprotest at Kent State University in Ohio in 1970 Dr Hester wrote an impassioned appeal to President Richard Nixonto ldquoconsider the incalculable dangers of an unprecedentedalienation of Americarsquos youthrdquo and to ldquoend the war quicklyrdquoIt was signed by the presidents of 37 colleges and universities

He also lamented the lack of social contact between blacksand whites who had reached comparable educational levels andpresciently warned of the depersonalizing impact of technology

On leaving Oxford Bernard joined the graduate entry schemeof ube Investments he was to be with a series of connectedcompanies throughout his working life including British Aluminium Alcan and a final management buy-out His workbrought him to all parts of the world in his capacity as MarketingManagerDirector his might be thought a surprising field forhim since he did not come across as a natural extrovert Nodoubt it was his integrity quiet determination and attention todetail together with a delicate sense of humour which broughthim success with customers and colleagues

When Bernard retired he was livi ng in a semi-rural villageoutside Solihull Here he enjoyed tennis and bridge with localfriends ndash as well as defeating ever encroaching local planningapplications

Not being content to remain anywhere for long he wasever on the move golfing and skiing holidaying with friendscalling on cousins in Perthshire and relaxing in Porthcawl

where with his sister Anne he had developed a shared secondhome overlooking the Bristol Channel here he would playgolf attend rugby matches and enjoy the tranquillity of theblue horizons

Having seemingly overcome skin and prostate cancer someyears earlier he was now suddenly faced with a canceroustumour against which he fought stubbornly for over a year When it was thought to have gone another appeared and thishe was unable to overcome

During his last days he enjoyed the support of his friend Juliaand was lovingly cared for by his sister Anne He leaves manyhappy memories where his comradeship and fun were alwaysto the fore His humour was understated and subtle he dislikedpomposity and would prick it gently where he could He wasparticularly good with children who would look forward tohis visits for his kindliness wry humour and encouragement

Although he set high standards for himself (and his friends)he was always there to help and guide others generous in givingand in his quiet way would go to great lengths to providesupport without ever asking for it himself He was determinedlyindependent often concealing his inner feelings whilst beingthoughtful and considerate for the feelings of others

He is much missed by many as was evident at his memorialservice and will be long remembered with great affection

just to me but to a ll of Pembroke a nd tothe wider Community You are very sadlymissed Mattrdquo

Tis year has been a year for change acrossall of the domestic operation changesto the way we work the way we procuregoods and services and most importantlyhow we support academic life in College

We st arted the year by listening to theCollege community and tried to matchaspirations and good ideas to our resourcesand priorities Many of our students asked

us to provide a space where they couldsocialise but which was defined as analcohol-free zone So we opened FarthingsCafeacute until 10pm on four nights a weekand extended hours at the weekends ndash

this means that it is now open seven daysa week during term Tis provides a firstclass social and work space for all of theCollege community and feedback hasbeen extremely positive

We also listened to the revitalised StudentFood Committee some wanted morecarbs some wanted less carbs some wantedflexibility around when they needed toattend Formal Hall and others just wantedto feedback what was the most popularmenu amongst the student body KevinDudley Executive Chef has spent hoursre-designing menu choices and working

with our kitchen brigade to respond tothese (and other) requests to the effectthat feedback has improved dramaticallyover the year Te implementation of asystem whereby a designated chef cooks

meals for those with dietary demands hasalso helped cater for those students whohave specific requirements or allergiesNext term we are sitting down with the

JCR to try and develop a more flexiblesystem around Formal Hall ndash particularlyduring exam season

Tis year we really got our act togetheron the Summer Ball and the studentcommittee made sure that they delivereda fantastic event (one which made a tidyprofit for charity ndash Save the Children beingthe chosen benefactor) We changed what

we used to do ma de new areas availableand ensured that student organisers had

staff mentors they could turn to for adviceon any particular aspect

Students told us they want to stay longerin College at the end of terms and thisyear every student who requested tostay up at the end of rinity erm ndash foracademic reasons ndash was accommodated

We managed this by seeking out externalevents that were academic related or access

focused and which would dovetail easilyaround students continuing to study

2014 ndash 2015 was the busiest conferenceseason ever and yet we still managed tosqueeze in four wedding ceremonies andall the standard functions the Collegeenjoys

Last year I reported that the Collegersquos financial positionreflected the impact of the additional income and costs relating tothe new buildings becoming fully operational Tis year we havemade good progress in refining this new way of working Tebusiness case established for the programme of works madecertain assu mptions about the additional income and costs which

would re sult f rom the expanded operations a nd it is pleasingto note that overall those assumptions have been validated bythe actual experience In particular the level of our conferencebusiness has continued to build and Pembroke is now one of

the more active Oxford Colleges in this area with a growingreputation

In what was essentially a year of financial consolidation thefinancial results of the College in 2014-15 were very satisfactory

otal incoming resources decreased by pound03m to pound112m Tisdecrease was primarily due to a reduction in donations which atpound19m were pound09m lower than the previous year as capital pledgesto the Bridging Centuries Campaign continued to be paid downsteadily and tailed off However it was good to see that the levelof revenue donations picked up

Te underlying increase in operating income reflectedbuoyant numbers of graduate students the high levels ofconference income and increased investment income reflectingthe growth in the Collegersquos long term investment portfolio duelargely to the rise of stock markets in recent years Te Collegeis reliant upon the income drawn down from the long terminvestment portfolio and this year the total return was 87

which was well above the benchmark target of 5

On the cost side total resources expended reduced by pound04m topound105m but it should be noted that there w as an e xceptional itemin last yearrsquos figures and after adjusting for this there was a small

increase of pound02m which reflects a tight control of costs after theincrease seen in the previous year when the additional resources

were required

So once again at the operating level the Collegersquos financialresults exceeded both the budget and the position anticipatedin our Strategic Plan which is very satisfactory although theoutcome was helped by higher than planned numbers ofgraduate students and the fact that there were some unfilledpermanent academic posts for reasons beyond the Collegersquoscontrol However it should be noted that the net movement infunds for the year of pound07m was slightly behind budget as there

were very few new capital donations above those already pledgedto the Bridging Centuries Campaign and other purposes

Consolidated Balance Sheet as at 31 July 2015

The gures shown are extracted from the Collegersquos statutory audited accounts for the year ended 31 st July 2015

The nancial statements were approved by the Governing Body on 2 nd December 2015 and have been posted on the Collegersquos website

With net incoming resources of pound07m and an investment ga in of pound27m the balance of the Colle gersquos funds rose by pound34mto pound744m

urning to the Collegersquos balance sheet there was l ittle change as tangible fixed a ssets reduced by pound08 m principally as a resultof a depreciation charge of pound12m Securities and other investments rose by pound 3m to pound519m due largely to a n increase in thevalue of investments of pound27m After deducting the long term creditors of pound141m which relates primarily to the Bank loantaken out to fund the balance of the new buildings and quadrangle the Collegersquos net funds were pound744m

Looking forward there are some threats to the current stabilit y of the Collegersquos finances for reasons beyond our control Sincethe introduction in 2012 of the new tuition fee for homeEU undergraduate students which is shared between the Universityand Colleges there has been no increase in its amount and the latest indications are that it will only be from 2017 that aninflation linking will be introduced Recently it was announced that the Collegiate University will lose some research and

special institutions funding As much has already been done to increase other sources of income notably conference andinvestment income this means it will be a challenge for the College to sustain its current level of income in real terms

Tere is also pressure on the cost side as employersrsquo national insurance and pension contributions are rising significantly which will adversely affect t he Collegersquos salar y bill which acc ounts for about half of our cost ba se We are therefore facingthe prospect of a squeeze on our profitability which underlines the critical need to continue to raise revenue donations tosupport our operations and capital donations for future major refurbishments and to build up further the CollegersquosEndowment which in turn will generate additional investment income

Against the background of the uncertainties relating to external funding Governing Body has decided to defer thefinalisation of its next Strategic Pla n for a year but in the meantime a short term plan c overing the period 2015ndash18 will be putin place to provide a framework for a range of current initiatives which wil l include a keen focus on cost effectiveness and ourplans to seek further financial support from the Collegersquos alumni and other supporters

ldquoPembroke nurtured my ability to work under pressure

and excel under challenging circumstances I give to

College because of its enduring commitment to widening

access and providing a well-rounded student experience

Whilst at Pembroke I beneted enormously from nancial assistance

funded by generous support from donors This made a profound

difference to my university experience and gave me the opportunity

to participate fully in College life I delight in being part of any drive

to maintain that tradition rdquo

ldquoPembroke means a great deal to both of us

both individually and as a couple It provides the

backdrop for so many important aspects of our

lives ndash not least the sense of belonging that being

part of the College community brings and needless

to say we have especially happy memories of our

wedding in the College Chapel

Donating to Pembroke for us at least means giving

something back to help ensure that current and future generations of

Pembrokians have a similarly positive experience Aruna is particularly

keen to support the Access initiatives as he rst considered applying

to Oxford after visiting Pembroke as part of one of these eventsrdquo

- Claire and Aruna Karunathilake 1994

ldquoMy years at Pembroke were amongst the happiest

of my life The College was a source of support

intellectual stimulation and laughter while I

completed my course and lled my life with incredible

people I am happy to give so that Pembroke can

continue to welcome continue to extend its tradition

of excellence and can give Professor X (Sir Patrick Stewart) a proper

welcome when he nally visits his alma materrdquo

Piers was born in 1924 athis grandparentsrsquo home westof Aberdeen He was a childof the army his father highlydecorated in the First World War and then a General inthe Second His mother wasa successful novelist and journalist from whom heinherited a love of the craftof writing

Piers spent veryformative early years withhis grandparents near

Aberdeen as well as living as far apart as Quetta in what is nowPakistan and Bordon in Hampshire Piers was fascinated by what was in his words still the army of Kipling with bandsparades and mounted cavalry He developed a lifelong love ofhorses animals and landscape

He was sent to what was then a harsh Edinburgh prepschool then on to Wellington where he flourished in itsrelatively liberal atmosphere winning a scholarship to ChristChurch in 1942

But World War II intervened and after traini ng Piers joinedthe Royal Scots Greys in Northern France three months afterD-Day at the age of 19 hey fought their way in Shermantanks across Belgium Holland and Germany ending up onthe Baltic

Oxford followed in 1947 While like so many he found ithard to settle back to the academic world he emerged witha First in Modern History followed by a doctorate at Orieland a Harkness fellowship at Harvard He became a Fellow ofPembroke in 1954

Piers taught Modern History with a particular focus onthe history of European warfare from the mid-18th Centuryto the end of the Napoleonic Wars and the complicatedintersection between statesmen and their commanders grandstrategy and operational detail He was also a Visiting Fellowat Princeton a Visiting Professor at Cal ech the Lee KnowlesLecturer at Cambridge in 1972 and a member of the Councilof the Institute of Early American History and Culture at Williamsburg Virginia

Piers wrote six books all much admired and all with greatclarity and lightness of touch despite their scholarly nature Hisfirst he War in the Mediterranean 1803-1810 was publishedin 1957 His second he War for America established aninternational reputation It was a strategic study of how theBritish government struggled to conduct an irregular warthousands of miles away at a time when it took months to geta message across the Atlantic and America was but one front ina world war Published at a time when America was struggling with its own deepening quagmire in Vietnam it was one ofthe catalysts for the revision of Americarsquos simplistic David-and-Goliath creation myth A reviewer in the WashingtonPost of a recent new edition referred to it as the ldquosingle best

such work that I haveever encounteredrdquoand highlighted itsldquostriking parallelsrdquo with recent Americanmistakes in Iraq

His other books were Statesmen atWar the Strategy ofOverthrow 1798-1799 he Coward of

Minden the Affair ofLord George SackvilleWar without Victory

the Downfall of Pitt and British Victory in Egypt the End ofNapoleonrsquos Conquest an account of the campaign whichculminated in Napoleonrsquos first major setback having toabandon a large army in Egypt It was awarded the emplerMedal Piers also contributed to a number of other books and wrote regularly for academic publications

Piers became a Fellow of the British Academy Fellow of theRoyal Historical Society and a trustee of the National ArmyMuseum Oxford awarded him a DLitt for his published works

Piers was held in deep affection by his former colleagues andpupils He was by all accounts a civilized and thoughtful tutor who quietly took a lot of trouble over his pupils whatever theirabilities and this extended beyond the purely academic onesummer every morning he went up the Cowley Road to wakeup a student in crisis to make sure that he got to each of hisfinals papers Letters written both before and after his deathgive some flavours one old pupil referred to the inspiration ofPiersrsquo exactitude and deflation of cant another remembers hiseyes sliding to his drinks tray during a monotonous readinglate one morning and yet another said ldquoI think in my time with him in tutorials I only saw him angered once when myfellow undergraduate compared the Boy Scout Movement withthe Hitler Youthrdquo

He went up to Pembroke for the Michaelmas erm 1944to read Jurisprudence under the Admiralty Y Scheme whereby potential officers could spend six months atuniversity combining academic study and naval training Hiscontemporary Roff Rayner (1944) said ldquoIt was a strange timein blacked out Oxford with Pembroke largely occupied by theMinistry of Agriculture and only a score or so undergraduatesNevertheless it was enough to give an idea of what Universitylife might be like On demobilisation in 1947 Walter returnedto Pembroke with enthusiasmrdquo

Walter wrote ldquo[I] seized the opportunity to enjoy theactivities on offer there rightly anticipating that such a chance would not come again [I] played the violin in the OxfordOrchestra and the orchestras of the Opera and Music Clubsand was a member of the Pembroke College Quartet which wasinvited to perform in a Sunday evening Balliol College concert

But when all is said and done Walter was a family manHis marriage to Shirley was a good and sustaining one Of ittouchingly but perceptively he said this

ldquo[I] married Shirley in 1957 and we celebrated 57 yearstogetherhellip thanks to her good care and cooking hard workand common senserdquo

hat progress was accomplished largely by selling theUniversity Heights campus in the Bronx closing the engineeringschool paring full-time faculty positions merging graduateand undergraduate business programs cutting intercollegiatecompetition in baseball football and basketball and requiringvarious components of the university including the school ofsocial work to pay their own way

At the same time Dr Hester raised academic standards andfielded recruiters to reverse a decline in out-of-town students

Dr Hester once explained that he wound up in highereducation almost by accident During the American militaryoccupation of Japan he worked as a civilian supervising schoolsBut even as a self-described ldquoprofessional administratorrdquo heemerged as a national presence

He headed a White House task force on higher education thatin 1970 recommended an expansion of federal scholarshipsa larger commitment to black colleges grants to graduateschools and tax incentives to encourage private contributions

to universitiesLike other college presidents he contended with campus unrest

which brought unwelcome attention Until he qualified hissupport for the war in Vietnam by urging Americarsquos withdrawal assoon as possible he had been assailed by campus protesters

After the invasion of Cambodia and the fatal shooting byNational Guardsmen of four students during an anti-warprotest at Kent State University in Ohio in 1970 Dr Hester wrote an impassioned appeal to President Richard Nixonto ldquoconsider the incalculable dangers of an unprecedentedalienation of Americarsquos youthrdquo and to ldquoend the war quicklyrdquoIt was signed by the presidents of 37 colleges and universities

He also lamented the lack of social contact between blacksand whites who had reached comparable educational levels andpresciently warned of the depersonalizing impact of technology

into the Liberal cause where he emphatically remained for therest of his life Shortly after this conversion he embarked on hisfirst hitch-hike to Liverpool to help at a By-Election and thefollowing year he hitched to Blackpool for the Liberalsrsquo AnnualConference attracting some press attention as he did so theBirmingham Gazette called him lsquothe keenest young Liberal inthe countryrsquo and the Express and Star reported his intention tobe a Liberal Prime Minister

Laurence left Shrewsbury School with a place at PembrokeCollege But first came National Service and he spent twoyears in the RAF his main accomplishments there apparentlybeing that he learnt Greek and hitched around Scotland andIreland He went up to Pembroke in 1952 and in his firstletter home he wrote that the College ldquoappeared to have avery high mortality raterdquo Nevertheless he enjoyed his timeat Oxford the reunions of recent years being high points inhis later life He was a keen rower and became as interestedin English Literature as in the History that he was there tostudy He made the most of his long vacations visiting AthensIstanbul Belgrade Anatolia Syria Lebanon and JerusalemSome of his fellow students in Jerusalem saw him set off back

to Oxford in the summer of 1954 by hitching a ride on an assldquosurrounded by a crowd of Arabsrdquo

He left Oxford in 1955 He spent much of 1956 exploringScandinavia and in 1957 went to Canada mixing concretefor a dam in Vancouver then working as a nightwatchman adish-washer and a rancher in Alberta He also coached peoplein French and English marked exam papers and got himselfup to reading standard in Russian Polish German Italian andSpanish living as cheaply as he could and sending most of hisearnings back to his widowed mother

After three years in Canada and America Laurence moved toStuttgart to improve his German then returned to Shrewsburyto look after his mother He spent many years working as asupply teacher in Cambridge and London before finallyretiring to Cottenham

Sadly he never did get to be a Liberal Prime Minister buthe found many other ways of helping people devoting his lifeto helping others in any way he could Laurence was uniqueHe had great charm and an unquenchable thirst for andextraordinary breadth of knowledge which enabled him to finda point of common interest with anyone he met

He is greatly missed by the many friends and relations heleaves behind

When Bernard retired he was livi ng in a semi-rural villageoutside Solihull Here he enjoyed tennis and bridge with localfriends ndash as well as defeating ever encroaching local planningapplications

Not being content to remain anywhere for long he wasever on the move golfing and skiing holidaying with friendscalling on cousins in Perthshire and relaxing in Porthcawl

where with his sister Anne he had developed a shared secondhome overlooking the Bristol Channel here he would playgolf attend rugby matches and enjoy the tranquillity of theblue horizons

During his last days he enjoyed the support of his friend Juliaand was lovingly cared for by his sister Anne He leaves manyhappy memories where his comradeship and fun were alwaysto the fore His humour was understated and subtle he dislikedpomposity and would prick it gently where he could He wasparticularly good with children who would look forward tohis visits for his kindliness wry humour and encouragement

Although he set high standards for himself (and his friends)he was always there to help and guide others generous in givingand in his quiet way would go to great lengths to providesupport without ever asking for it himself He was determinedlyindependent often concealing his inner feelings whilst beingthoughtful and considerate for the feelings of others

Last year I reported that the Collegersquos financial positionreflected the impact of the additional income and costs relating tothe new buildings becoming fully operational Tis year we havemade good progress in refining this new way of working Tebusiness case established for the programme of works madecertain assu mptions about the additional income and costs which

would re sult f rom the expanded operations a nd it is pleasingto note that overall those assumptions have been validated bythe actual experience In particular the level of our conferencebusiness has continued to build and Pembroke is now one of

the more active Oxford Colleges in this area with a growingreputation

In what was essentially a year of financial consolidation thefinancial results of the College in 2014-15 were very satisfactory

otal incoming resources decreased by pound03m to pound112m Tisdecrease was primarily due to a reduction in donations which atpound19m were pound09m lower than the previous year as capital pledgesto the Bridging Centuries Campaign continued to be paid downsteadily and tailed off However it was good to see that the levelof revenue donations picked up

Te underlying increase in operating income reflectedbuoyant numbers of graduate students the high levels ofconference income and increased investment income reflectingthe growth in the Collegersquos long term investment portfolio duelargely to the rise of stock markets in recent years Te Collegeis reliant upon the income drawn down from the long terminvestment portfolio and this year the total return was 87

which was well above the benchmark target of 5

On the cost side total resources expended reduced by pound04m topound105m but it should be noted that there w as an e xceptional itemin last yearrsquos figures and after adjusting for this there was a small

increase of pound02m which reflects a tight control of costs after theincrease seen in the previous year when the additional resources

were required

So once again at the operating level the Collegersquos financialresults exceeded both the budget and the position anticipatedin our Strategic Plan which is very satisfactory although theoutcome was helped by higher than planned numbers ofgraduate students and the fact that there were some unfilledpermanent academic posts for reasons beyond the Collegersquoscontrol However it should be noted that the net movement infunds for the year of pound07m was slightly behind budget as there

were very few new capital donations above those already pledgedto the Bridging Centuries Campaign and other purposes

be made available to redevelop our Lodge at the same timeas gently sloping the Old Quad to provide level access toChapel Quad

Te detailed design provided by our architects Ridgeand Partners LLP came up with a solution for a spaciousnew Lodge using a ground floor room on Staircase Oneand opening it up to the main entrance of the CollegeBoth English Heritage and the local Conservation Officer

were consulted and all nec essary consents were gra ntedTe work was carried out concurrently with that ofthe levelling of Old Quad Contractors Benfield andLoxley started work during the Easter Vacation requiringthe Samuel Johnson Building to be used as a temporaryentrance and Lodge and the Porters were able to moveinto their new home in August

Consolidated Balance Sheet as at 31 July 2015

The gures shown are extracted from the Collegersquos statutory audited accounts for the year ended 31 st July 2015

The nancial statements were approved by the Governing Body on 2 nd December 2015 and have been posted on the Collegersquos website

With net incoming resources of pound07m and an investment ga in of pound27m the balance of the Colle gersquos funds rose by pound34mto pound744m

urning to the Collegersquos balance sheet there was l ittle change as tangible fixed a ssets reduced by pound08 m principally as a resultof a depreciation charge of pound12m Securities and other investments rose by pound 3m to pound519m due largely to a n increase in thevalue of investments of pound27m After deducting the long term creditors of pound141m which relates primarily to the Bank loantaken out to fund the balance of the new buildings and quadrangle the Collegersquos net funds were pound744m

Looking forward there are some threats to the current stabilit y of the Collegersquos finances for reasons beyond our control Sincethe introduction in 2012 of the new tuition fee for homeEU undergraduate students which is shared between the Universityand Colleges there has been no increase in its amount and the latest indications are that it will only be from 2017 that aninflation linking will be introduced Recently it was announced that the Collegiate University will lose some research and

special institutions funding As much has already been done to increase other sources of income notably conference andinvestment income this means it will be a challenge for the College to sustain its current level of income in real terms

Tere is also pressure on the cost side as employersrsquo national insurance and pension contributions are rising significantly which will adversely affect t he Collegersquos salar y bill which acc ounts for about half of our cost ba se We are therefore facingthe prospect of a squeeze on our profitability which underlines the critical need to continue to raise revenue donations tosupport our operations and capital donations for future major refurbishments and to build up further the CollegersquosEndowment which in turn will generate additional investment income

Against the background of the uncertainties relating to external funding Governing Body has decided to defer thefinalisation of its next Strategic Pla n for a year but in the meantime a short term plan c overing the period 2015ndash18 will be putin place to provide a framework for a range of current initiatives which wil l include a keen focus on cost effectiveness and ourplans to seek further financial support from the Collegersquos alumni and other supporters

ldquoPembroke means a great deal to both of us

both individually and as a couple It provides the

backdrop for so many important aspects of our

lives ndash not least the sense of belonging that being

part of the College community brings and needless

to say we have especially happy memories of our

wedding in the College Chapel

Donating to Pembroke for us at least means giving

something back to help ensure that current and future generations of

Pembrokians have a similarly positive experience Aruna is particularly

keen to support the Access initiatives as he rst considered applying

to Oxford after visiting Pembroke as part of one of these eventsrdquo

- Claire and Aruna Karunathilake 1994

ldquoMy years at Pembroke were amongst the happiest

of my life The College was a source of support

intellectual stimulation and laughter while I

completed my course and lled my life with incredible

people I am happy to give so that Pembroke can

continue to welcome continue to extend its tradition

of excellence and can give Professor X (Sir Patrick Stewart) a proper

welcome when he nally visits his alma materrdquo

Piers was also an effective administrator and a diplomatic

colleague twice becoming acting Master of Pembroke Hislow-key and sensitive tact helped solve some serious problemsover the years although it was perhaps of less use when tryingto remonstrate at a College Ball in his capacity as Dean witha rampaging he Who in their 1960s ldquoprimerdquo

At the same time Dr Hester raised academic standards andfielded recruiters to reverse a decline in out-of-town students

Dr Hester once explained that he wound up in highereducation almost by accident During the American militaryoccupation of Japan he worked as a civilian supervising schoolsBut even as a self-described ldquoprofessional administratorrdquo heemerged as a national presence

He headed a White House task force on higher education thatin 1970 recommended an expansion of federal scholarshipsa larger commitment to black colleges grants to graduateschools and tax incentives to encourage private contributions

to universitiesLike other college presidents he contended with campus unrest

which brought unwelcome attention Until he qualified hissupport for the war in Vietnam by urging Americarsquos withdrawal assoon as possible he had been assailed by campus protesters

After the invasion of Cambodia and the fatal shooting byNational Guardsmen of four students during an anti-warprotest at Kent State University in Ohio in 1970 Dr Hester wrote an impassioned appeal to President Richard Nixonto ldquoconsider the incalculable dangers of an unprecedentedalienation of Americarsquos youthrdquo and to ldquoend the war quicklyrdquoIt was signed by the presidents of 37 colleges and universities

He also lamented the lack of social contact between blacksand whites who had reached comparable educational levels andpresciently warned of the depersonalizing impact of technology

He left Oxford in 1955 He spent much of 1956 exploringScandinavia and in 1957 went to Canada mixing concretefor a dam in Vancouver then working as a nightwatchman adish-washer and a rancher in Alberta He also coached peoplein French and English marked exam papers and got himselfup to reading standard in Russian Polish German Italian andSpanish living as cheaply as he could and sending most of hisearnings back to his widowed mother

After three years in Canada and America Laurence moved toStuttgart to improve his German then returned to Shrewsburyto look after his mother He spent many years working as asupply teacher in Cambridge and London before finallyretiring to Cottenham

Sadly he never did get to be a Liberal Prime Minister buthe found many other ways of helping people devoting his lifeto helping others in any way he could Laurence was uniqueHe had great charm and an unquenchable thirst for andextraordinary breadth of knowledge which enabled him to finda point of common interest with anyone he met

On leaving Oxford Bernard joined the graduate entry schemeof ube Investments he was to be with a series of connectedcompanies throughout his working life including British Aluminium Alcan and a final management buy-out His workbrought him to all parts of the world in his capacity as MarketingManagerDirector his might be thought a surprising field forhim since he did not come across as a natural extrovert Nodoubt it was his integrity quiet determination and attention todetail together with a delicate sense of humour which broughthim success with customers and colleagues

When Bernard retired he was livi ng in a semi-rural villageoutside Solihull Here he enjoyed tennis and bridge with localfriends ndash as well as defeating ever encroaching local planningapplications

Not being content to remain anywhere for long he wasever on the move golfing and skiing holidaying with friendscalling on cousins in Perthshire and relaxing in Porthcawl

where with his sister Anne he had developed a shared secondhome overlooking the Bristol Channel here he would playgolf attend rugby matches and enjoy the tranquillity of theblue horizons

Having seemingly overcome skin and prostate cancer someyears earlier he was now suddenly faced with a canceroustumour against which he fought stubbornly for over a year When it was thought to have gone another appeared and thishe was unable to overcome

During his last days he enjoyed the support of his friend Juliaand was lovingly cared for by his sister Anne He leaves manyhappy memories where his comradeship and fun were alwaysto the fore His humour was understated and subtle he dislikedpomposity and would prick it gently where he could He wasparticularly good with children who would look forward tohis visits for his kindliness wry humour and encouragement

Although he set high standards for himself (and his friends)he was always there to help and guide others generous in givingand in his quiet way would go to great lengths to providesupport without ever asking for it himself He was determinedlyindependent often concealing his inner feelings whilst beingthoughtful and considerate for the feelings of others

He is much missed by many as was evident at his memorialservice and will be long remembered with great affection

Consolidated Balance Sheet as at 31 July 2015

The gures shown are extracted from the Collegersquos statutory audited accounts for the year ended 31 st July 2015

The nancial statements were approved by the Governing Body on 2 nd December 2015 and have been posted on the Collegersquos website

With net incoming resources of pound07m and an investment ga in of pound27m the balance of the Colle gersquos funds rose by pound34mto pound744m

urning to the Collegersquos balance sheet there was l ittle change as tangible fixed a ssets reduced by pound08 m principally as a resultof a depreciation charge of pound12m Securities and other investments rose by pound 3m to pound519m due largely to a n increase in thevalue of investments of pound27m After deducting the long term creditors of pound141m which relates primarily to the Bank loantaken out to fund the balance of the new buildings and quadrangle the Collegersquos net funds were pound744m

Looking forward there are some threats to the current stabilit y of the Collegersquos finances for reasons beyond our control Sincethe introduction in 2012 of the new tuition fee for homeEU undergraduate students which is shared between the Universityand Colleges there has been no increase in its amount and the latest indications are that it will only be from 2017 that aninflation linking will be introduced Recently it was announced that the Collegiate University will lose some research and

special institutions funding As much has already been done to increase other sources of income notably conference andinvestment income this means it will be a challenge for the College to sustain its current level of income in real terms

Tere is also pressure on the cost side as employersrsquo national insurance and pension contributions are rising significantly which will adversely affect t he Collegersquos salar y bill which acc ounts for about half of our cost ba se We are therefore facingthe prospect of a squeeze on our profitability which underlines the critical need to continue to raise revenue donations tosupport our operations and capital donations for future major refurbishments and to build up further the CollegersquosEndowment which in turn will generate additional investment income

Against the background of the uncertainties relating to external funding Governing Body has decided to defer thefinalisation of its next Strategic Pla n for a year but in the meantime a short term plan c overing the period 2015ndash18 will be putin place to provide a framework for a range of current initiatives which wil l include a keen focus on cost effectiveness and ourplans to seek further financial support from the Collegersquos alumni and other supporters

ldquoAs the only American student at Pembroke

backdrop for so many important aspects of our

lives ndash not least the sense of belonging that being

part of the College community brings and needless

to say we have especially happy memories of our

wedding in the College Chapel

Donating to Pembroke for us at least means giving

something back to help ensure that current and future generations of

Pembrokians have a similarly positive experience Aruna is particularly

keen to support the Access initiatives as he rst considered applying

Piers was also an effective administrator and a diplomatic

colleague twice becoming acting Master of Pembroke Hislow-key and sensitive tact helped solve some serious problemsover the years although it was perhaps of less use when tryingto remonstrate at a College Ball in his capacity as Dean witha rampaging he Who in their 1960s ldquoprimerdquo

During his life Godfrey encountered some remarkablepeople He studied the philosophy of Guerdjej author of Alland Everything and personally knew Idris Shah Russell andVera Page and many other writers of distinction

John Platt (1956) writes ldquoGodfrey always remained loyalto his old College I recall that for many years from the early1970s he regularly attend the annual dinners of the PembrokeCollege Society In 1984 when under the leadership of theMaster Sir Geoffrey Arthur an appeal was made for muchneeded funds Godfrey freely offered his expert services for theproduction of the brochure which launched what proved to bea very successful campaignrdquo

Walter wrote ldquo[I] seized the opportunity to enjoy theactivities on offer there rightly anticipating that such a chance would not come again [I] played the violin in the OxfordOrchestra and the orchestras of the Opera and Music Clubsand was a member of the Pembroke College Quartet which wasinvited to perform in a Sunday evening Balliol College concert

hat progress was accomplished largely by selling theUniversity Heights campus in the Bronx closing the engineeringschool paring full-time faculty positions merging graduateand undergraduate business programs cutting intercollegiatecompetition in baseball football and basketball and requiringvarious components of the university including the school ofsocial work to pay their own way

At the same time Dr Hester raised academic standards andfielded recruiters to reverse a decline in out-of-town students

Dr Hester once explained that he wound up in highereducation almost by accident During the American militaryoccupation of Japan he worked as a civilian supervising schoolsBut even as a self-described ldquoprofessional administratorrdquo heemerged as a national presence

He headed a White House task force on higher education thatin 1970 recommended an expansion of federal scholarshipsa larger commitment to black colleges grants to graduateschools and tax incentives to encourage private contributions

to universitiesLike other college presidents he contended with campus unrest

which brought unwelcome attention Until he qualified hissupport for the war in Vietnam by urging Americarsquos withdrawal assoon as possible he had been assailed by campus protesters

After the invasion of Cambodia and the fatal shooting byNational Guardsmen of four students during an anti-warprotest at Kent State University in Ohio in 1970 Dr Hester wrote an impassioned appeal to President Richard Nixonto ldquoconsider the incalculable dangers of an unprecedentedalienation of Americarsquos youthrdquo and to ldquoend the war quicklyrdquoIt was signed by the presidents of 37 colleges and universities

He also lamented the lack of social contact between blacksand whites who had reached comparable educational levels andpresciently warned of the depersonalizing impact of technology

Mike was born and raisedin Belfast from a Protestantbackground He had anunyielding unrelenting sense of justice and democracy He was

involved in the civil rights marches and protests in Ireland in

the 1970s and brought his political k nowledge and experiencesof Irish politics to Oxford working hard to develop supportand understanding amongst both students and within the localcommunity through the Labour Party and other organisations

Mike was involved in student politics and in particular thefight for a unified Student Union seen as a more democratic way to organise his developed into direct action whenstudents successfully occupied the Examination Schools andtried to smash down the door of the Indian Institute in 1973

Consequently some students were expelled and othersrusticated Mike was amongst the latter returning to completehis final year in 1974

Mike was renowned by all those who knew him for his illegiblehandwriting he fact that his tutor Godfrey Bond went to theunusual length of arranging for a typist to transcribe Mikersquosfinal exams so that t hey could be marked showed great respectfor his scholarship and knowledge

Mike combined his commitment to his studies with hisengagement in politics He was well able to integrate a Marxistapproach to his studies and recalled lively discussions with hisutor Dr P J Cuff Indeed Dr Cuff himself acknowledgedthis when he sent Mike a copy of his publication QuaestionesPerpetuae res 1977 with a signed handwritten inscriptionlsquoFor Michael Pixton without whom this could not have been writtenrsquo

At Pembroke Bernard soon became involved in a number ofcircles outside his own subject as he represented the Collegein both rugby and rowing hus he made many more friendssome of whom were to be with him all his life

On leaving Oxford Bernard joined the graduate entry schemeof ube Investments he was to be with a series of connectedcompanies throughout his working life including British Aluminium Alcan and a final management buy-out His workbrought him to all parts of the world in his capacity as MarketingManagerDirector his might be thought a surprising field forhim since he did not come across as a natural extrovert Nodoubt it was his integrity quiet determination and attention todetail together with a delicate sense of humour which broughthim success with customers and colleagues

When Bernard retired he was livi ng in a semi-rural villageoutside Solihull Here he enjoyed tennis and bridge with localfriends ndash as well as defeating ever encroaching local planningapplications

Not being content to remain anywhere for long he wasever on the move golfing and skiing holidaying with friendscalling on cousins in Perthshire and relaxing in Porthcawl

where with his sister Anne he had developed a shared secondhome overlooking the Bristol Channel here he would playgolf attend rugby matches and enjoy the tranquillity of theblue horizons

As Baudelaire wrote in lsquoElevationrsquo (from lsquoLes Fleurs du Malrsquo)

Heureux celui qui peut drsquoune aile vigoureuse srsquoeacutelancer vers les champs lumineux et serein

Come winter Bernard would be off again for warmer climesbut returning always to spend Christmas with his sister and herfamily

Having seemingly overcome skin and prostate cancer someyears earlier he was now suddenly faced with a canceroustumour against which he fought stubbornly for over a year When it was thought to have gone another appeared and thishe was unable to overcome

During his last days he enjoyed the support of his friend Juliaand was lovingly cared for by his sister Anne He leaves manyhappy memories where his comradeship and fun were alwaysto the fore His humour was understated and subtle he dislikedpomposity and would prick it gently where he could He wasparticularly good with children who would look forward tohis visits for his kindliness wry humour and encouragement

Although he set high standards for himself (and his friends)he was always there to help and guide others generous in givingand in his quiet way would go to great lengths to providesupport without ever asking for it himself He was determinedlyindependent often concealing his inner feelings whilst beingthoughtful and considerate for the feelings of others

He is much missed by many as was evident at his memorialservice and will be long remembered with great affection

During this time David found a love for classical musicespecially opera and visiting museums and art galleries He was awarded a place at Pembroke College where he progressed

well in GreatsDuring the long holidays he would do some studying and

often visited friends who lived on a farm in a minute village with no shops Once he went walking along the Ridgeway

After University he was unsure about what he wanted to dobut took a job at Buckingham Palace Road Library After ashort time the Chief Librarian suggested that he took a post-graduate library qualification He was then offered a place at Aberystwyth

After this he took a job at he British Steel Corporation butleft when they relocated to Sheffield His next job was at theInternational Chamber of Commerce and it was during thistime that he was knocked down on a zebra crossing by a bus which caused severe bruising of his brain

He enjoyed his time at the International Chamber ofCommerce there were a good mix of employees and they oftenmet at weekends for Sunday afternoon tea or dinner and tookturns in cooking

He was approached by Durries a shipping company to workfor them keeping t he records in order hey moved to Canary Wharf which made it more difficult for David to get to theopera or concerts During the recession he was made redundant

David then changed his career path altogether and began working at a centre for the mentally handicapped Here hehelped with delivery of free newspapers gardening cooking

shopping and other tasks to help visitors to the centre becomemore independent

He joined the Friends of Kew Gardens and I accompaniedhim on many trips to different gardens When the Centremoved to Essex it was too far for David to travel so he wasagain without a job

During his life David had travelled to Egypt down theRhine and visited his great love Russia His last trip there was with a friend during the White Nights Festival

he family noticed the deterioration of his health It was agreat shock to be informed of his death

Mike was a highly individual non-conformist He had anastute analytical mind He was kind and loyal and generousHe was extremely thoughtful not only with regard to peoplebut also with regard to his academic interests and to thepolitical issues of the day

He is greatly missed

both individually and as a couple It provides the

backdrop for so many important aspects of our

lives ndash not least the sense of belonging that being

part of the College community brings and needless

to say we have especially happy memories of our

wedding in the College Chapel

Donating to Pembroke for us at least means giving

something back to help ensure that current and future generations of

Pembrokians have a similarly positive experience Aruna is particularly

keen to support the Access initiatives as he rst considered applying

to Oxford after visiting Pembroke as part of one of these eventsrdquo

During his life Godfrey encountered some remarkablepeople He studied the philosophy of Guerdjej author of Alland Everything and personally knew Idris Shah Russell andVera Page and many other writers of distinction

John Platt (1956) writes ldquoGodfrey always remained loyalto his old College I recall that for many years from the early1970s he regularly attend the annual dinners of the PembrokeCollege Society In 1984 when under the leadership of theMaster Sir Geoffrey Arthur an appeal was made for muchneeded funds Godfrey freely offered his expert services for theproduction of the brochure which launched what proved to bea very successful campaignrdquo

He went up to Pembroke for the Michaelmas erm 1944to read Jurisprudence under the Admiralty Y Scheme whereby potential officers could spend six months atuniversity combining academic study and naval training Hiscontemporary Roff Rayner (1944) said ldquoIt was a strange timein blacked out Oxford with Pembroke largely occupied by theMinistry of Agriculture and only a score or so undergraduatesNevertheless it was enough to give an idea of what Universitylife might be like On demobilisation in 1947 Walter returnedto Pembroke with enthusiasmrdquo

Walter wrote ldquo[I] seized the opportunity to enjoy theactivities on offer there rightly anticipating that such a chance would not come again [I] played the violin in the OxfordOrchestra and the orchestras of the Opera and Music Clubsand was a member of the Pembroke College Quartet which wasinvited to perform in a Sunday evening Balliol College concert

[I] also played folk music with the Cecil Sharp Club and evenmanaged to be President of the Blackstone Societyrdquo

But when all is said and done Walter was a family manHis marriage to Shirley was a good and sustaining one Of ittouchingly but perceptively he said this

ldquo[I] married Shirley in 1957 and we celebrated 57 yearstogetherhellip thanks to her good care and cooking hard workand common senserdquo

He brought his children up with a strong public service ethicconsonant with his belief that to practise was to serve he RGScontinued to hold an abiding fascination and he was pleasedthat his son and t hree of his grandsons followed him there

hat progress was accomplished largely by selling theUniversity Heights campus in the Bronx closing the engineeringschool paring full-time faculty positions merging graduateand undergraduate business programs cutting intercollegiatecompetition in baseball football and basketball and requiringvarious components of the university including the school ofsocial work to pay their own way

At the same time Dr Hester raised academic standards andfielded recruiters to reverse a decline in out-of-town students

Dr Hester once explained that he wound up in highereducation almost by accident During the American militaryoccupation of Japan he worked as a civilian supervising schoolsBut even as a self-described ldquoprofessional administratorrdquo heemerged as a national presence

He headed a White House task force on higher education thatin 1970 recommended an expansion of federal scholarshipsa larger commitment to black colleges grants to graduateschools and tax incentives to encourage private contributions

to universitiesLike other college presidents he contended with campus unrest

which brought unwelcome attention Until he qualified hissupport for the war in Vietnam by urging Americarsquos withdrawal assoon as possible he had been assailed by campus protesters

After the invasion of Cambodia and the fatal shooting byNational Guardsmen of four students during an anti-warprotest at Kent State University in Ohio in 1970 Dr Hester wrote an impassioned appeal to President Richard Nixonto ldquoconsider the incalculable dangers of an unprecedentedalienation of Americarsquos youthrdquo and to ldquoend the war quicklyrdquoIt was signed by the presidents of 37 colleges and universities

He also lamented the lack of social contact between blacksand whites who had reached comparable educational levels andpresciently warned of the depersonalizing impact of technology

When Bernard retired he was livi ng in a semi-rural villageoutside Solihull Here he enjoyed tennis and bridge with localfriends ndash as well as defeating ever encroaching local planningapplications

ldquoItrsquos such a pleasure to feel I can continue to do

something for the beloved College and the next

generationrdquo

- Bob Side 1953

ldquoAs the only American student at Pembroke

College in 1954 I received warm and abundant

assistance and friendship from students and

faculty By the end of the academic year I had

been elected President of the Junior Common

Room and enjoyed remarkable opportunities to

boost student activities and regard for Pembroke

College among my American Oxford friends During the post 60

years my excitement about the quality of life at Pembroke has grown

as has my eagerness to introduce others to such a great experience

It is a pleasure to make nancial contribution to Pembroke each

year in order that a great tradition of academic excellence and warm

fellowship may growrdquo

ldquoPembroke nurtured my ability to work under pressure

and excel under challenging circumstances I give to

College because of its enduring commitment to widening

access and providing a well-rounded student experience

Whilst at Pembroke I beneted enormously from nancial assistance

funded by generous support from donors This made a profound

difference to my university experience and gave me the opportunity

to participate fully in College life I delight in being part of any drive

to maintain that tradition rdquo

ldquoPembroke means a great deal to both of us

both individually and as a couple It provides the

backdrop for so many important aspects of our

lives ndash not least the sense of belonging that being

part of the College community brings and needless

to say we have especially happy memories of our

wedding in the College Chapel

Donating to Pembroke for us at least means giving

something back to help ensure that current and future generations of

Pembrokians have a similarly positive experience Aruna is particularly

keen to support the Access initiatives as he rst considered applying

to Oxford after visiting Pembroke as part of one of these eventsrdquo

- Claire and Aruna Karunathilake 1994

ldquoMy years at Pembroke were amongst the happiest

of my life The College was a source of support

intellectual stimulation and laughter while I

completed my course and lled my life with incredible

people I am happy to give so that Pembroke can

continue to welcome continue to extend its tradition

of excellence and can give Professor X (Sir Patrick Stewart) a proper

welcome when he nally visits his alma materrdquo

Piers was also an effective administrator and a diplomatic

colleague twice becoming acting Master of Pembroke Hislow-key and sensitive tact helped solve some serious problemsover the years although it was perhaps of less use when tryingto remonstrate at a College Ball in his capacity as Dean witha rampaging he Who in their 1960s ldquoprimerdquo

to read English and took special pleasure in the University

Lectures of such notable scholars as JRR olkien and CS LewisOn graduation in 1949 Godfrey went into advertising livingin London and working as Creative Director for Foote Coneand Belding and later at Notleys During this period he wroteand broadcasted for radio and television in Britain France and America

During his life Godfrey encountered some remarkablepeople He studied the philosophy of Guerdjej author of Alland Everything and personally knew Idris Shah Russell andVera Page and many other writers of distinction

John Platt (1956) writes ldquoGodfrey always remained loyalto his old College I recall that for many years from the early1970s he regularly attend the annual dinners of the PembrokeCollege Society In 1984 when under the leadership of theMaster Sir Geoffrey Arthur an appeal was made for muchneeded funds Godfrey freely offered his expert services for theproduction of the brochure which launched what proved to bea very successful campaignrdquo

Godfrey decided to leave London and the rat race ofadvertising and moved to Addington in the heart of theBuckinghamshire countryside Soon afterwards he met hissecond wife Francoise Legrand in 1975 As a couple theystarted to enjoy a creative life ndash Godfrey writing books andFrancoise doing black and white photography ogether theypublished Boatopia (1986) and Paris the Essential City (1988)for which he provided the text and she the photographs

activities occupied his time ldquoat the cost of collecting picturesrdquoHis secondary schooling was marked by wartime evacuation

to Penrith where he threw himself into everything on offerDespite the deprivations that undoubtedly existed he alwaysdescribed them as halcyon days

He went up to Pembroke for the Michaelmas erm 1944to read Jurisprudence under the Admiralty Y Scheme whereby potential officers could spend six months atuniversity combining academic study and naval training Hiscontemporary Roff Rayner (1944) said ldquoIt was a strange timein blacked out Oxford with Pembroke largely occupied by theMinistry of Agriculture and only a score or so undergraduatesNevertheless it was enough to give an idea of what Universitylife might be like On demobilisation in 1947 Walter returnedto Pembroke with enthusiasmrdquo

Walter wrote ldquo[I] seized the opportunity to enjoy theactivities on offer there rightly anticipating that such a chance would not come again [I] played the violin in the OxfordOrchestra and the orchestras of the Opera and Music Clubsand was a member of the Pembroke College Quartet which wasinvited to perform in a Sunday evening Balliol College concert

[I] also played folk music with the Cecil Sharp Club and evenmanaged to be President of the Blackstone Societyrdquo

Graduating in 1949 following the two year post-waraccelerated programme his time at Pembroke was a source ofpride for the rest of his life

Returning to yneside and having found the necessarypound150 Articles of Clerkship followed and thereafter admissionto the Roll in 1952

Meeting Shirley Bittermann thereafter determined the courseof his personal and professional life Her father a well knownlocal practitioner offered Walter a place in the firm whichby the time of their marriage in 1957 had become known asELF Bittermann amp Wood ogether uneasily at times theypractised until his father-in-lawrsquos death He sat as a DeputyRegistrar but full time judicial office never appealed

An old fashioned high street solicitor of the type that is nowa dying if not dead breed he turned his hand to anything and was truly in the memorable definition of Sir Robert Megarrylsquoa universal spiderrsquo he knew how to get things done He tookhis turn on the Standing Committee of the Newcastle-upon-yne Law Society serving as its President in 1985-6 He washeavily involved in a bewildering range of charitable activitiesincluding setting up Abbeyfield Society Homes whichinfluenced the decision to move to one of them himself

But when all is said and done Walter was a family manHis marriage to Shirley was a good and sustaining one Of ittouchingly but perceptively he said this

ldquo[I] married Shirley in 1957 and we celebrated 57 yearstogetherhellip thanks to her good care and cooking hard workand common senserdquo

He brought his children up with a strong public service ethicconsonant with his belief that to practise was to serve he RGScontinued to hold an abiding fascination and he was pleasedthat his son and t hree of his grandsons followed him there

hat progress was accomplished largely by selling theUniversity Heights campus in the Bronx closing the engineeringschool paring full-time faculty positions merging graduateand undergraduate business programs cutting intercollegiatecompetition in baseball football and basketball and requiringvarious components of the university including the school ofsocial work to pay their own way

At the same time Dr Hester raised academic standards andfielded recruiters to reverse a decline in out-of-town students

Dr Hester once explained that he wound up in highereducation almost by accident During the American militaryoccupation of Japan he worked as a civilian supervising schoolsBut even as a self-described ldquoprofessional administratorrdquo heemerged as a national presence

He headed a White House task force on higher education thatin 1970 recommended an expansion of federal scholarshipsa larger commitment to black colleges grants to graduateschools and tax incentives to encourage private contributions

to universitiesLike other college presidents he contended with campus unrest

which brought unwelcome attention Until he qualified hissupport for the war in Vietnam by urging Americarsquos withdrawal assoon as possible he had been assailed by campus protesters

After the invasion of Cambodia and the fatal shooting byNational Guardsmen of four students during an anti-warprotest at Kent State University in Ohio in 1970 Dr Hester wrote an impassioned appeal to President Richard Nixonto ldquoconsider the incalculable dangers of an unprecedentedalienation of Americarsquos youthrdquo and to ldquoend the war quicklyrdquoIt was signed by the presidents of 37 colleges and universities

He also lamented the lack of social contact between blacksand whites who had reached comparable educational levels andpresciently warned of the depersonalizing impact of technology

Mike was born and raisedin Belfast from a Protestantbackground He had anunyielding unrelenting sense of justice and democracy He was

involved in the civil rights marches and protests in Ireland in

the 1970s and brought his political k nowledge and experiencesof Irish politics to Oxford working hard to develop supportand understanding amongst both students and within the localcommunity through the Labour Party and other organisations

Mike was involved in student politics and in particular thefight for a unified Student Union seen as a more democratic way to organise his developed into direct action whenstudents successfully occupied the Examination Schools andtried to smash down the door of the Indian Institute in 1973

Consequently some students were expelled and othersrusticated Mike was amongst the latter returning to completehis final year in 1974

Mike was renowned by all those who knew him for his illegiblehandwriting he fact that his tutor Godfrey Bond went to theunusual length of arranging for a typist to transcribe Mikersquosfinal exams so that t hey could be marked showed great respectfor his scholarship and knowledge

Mike combined his commitment to his studies with hisengagement in politics He was well able to integrate a Marxistapproach to his studies and recalled lively discussions with hisutor Dr P J Cuff Indeed Dr Cuff himself acknowledgedthis when he sent Mike a copy of his publication QuaestionesPerpetuae res 1977 with a signed handwritten inscriptionlsquoFor Michael Pixton without whom this could not have been writtenrsquo

At Pembroke Bernard soon became involved in a number ofcircles outside his own subject as he represented the Collegein both rugby and rowing hus he made many more friendssome of whom were to be with him all his life

On leaving Oxford Bernard joined the graduate entry schemeof ube Investments he was to be with a series of connectedcompanies throughout his working life including British Aluminium Alcan and a final management buy-out His workbrought him to all parts of the world in his capacity as MarketingManagerDirector his might be thought a surprising field forhim since he did not come across as a natural extrovert Nodoubt it was his integrity quiet determination and attention todetail together with a delicate sense of humour which broughthim success with customers and colleagues

When Bernard retired he was livi ng in a semi-rural villageoutside Solihull Here he enjoyed tennis and bridge with localfriends ndash as well as defeating ever encroaching local planningapplications

Not being content to remain anywhere for long he wasever on the move golfing and skiing holidaying with friendscalling on cousins in Perthshire and relaxing in Porthcawl

where with his sister Anne he had developed a shared secondhome overlooking the Bristol Channel here he would playgolf attend rugby matches and enjoy the tranquillity of theblue horizons

As Baudelaire wrote in lsquoElevationrsquo (from lsquoLes Fleurs du Malrsquo)

Heureux celui qui peut drsquoune aile vigoureuse srsquoeacutelancer vers les champs lumineux et serein

Come winter Bernard would be off again for warmer climesbut returning always to spend Christmas with his sister and herfamily

Having seemingly overcome skin and prostate cancer someyears earlier he was now suddenly faced with a canceroustumour against which he fought stubbornly for over a year When it was thought to have gone another appeared and thishe was unable to overcome

During his last days he enjoyed the support of his friend Juliaand was lovingly cared for by his sister Anne He leaves manyhappy memories where his comradeship and fun were alwaysto the fore His humour was understated and subtle he dislikedpomposity and would prick it gently where he could He wasparticularly good with children who would look forward tohis visits for his kindliness wry humour and encouragement

Although he set high standards for himself (and his friends)he was always there to help and guide others generous in givingand in his quiet way would go to great lengths to providesupport without ever asking for it himself He was determinedlyindependent often concealing his inner feelings whilst beingthoughtful and considerate for the feelings of others

He is much missed by many as was evident at his memorialservice and will be long remembered with great affection

21st November 1954 ndash 13th August 2015

David was the third child of JamesPrice (engineer) He was like anyother boy and on a trip to Oxford ataround ten years old he decided he wanted to go to Oxford University Ateleven he passed his 11+ examinationand was placed in the A stream forlanguages He chose Greek and Latinas his specialist languages and gained A levels and S levels in Greek Latinand Ancient History

During this time David found a love for classical musicespecially opera and visiting museums and art galleries He was awarded a place at Pembroke College where he progressed

well in GreatsDuring the long holidays he would do some studying and

often visited friends who lived on a farm in a minute village with no shops Once he went walking along the Ridgeway

After University he was unsure about what he wanted to dobut took a job at Buckingham Palace Road Library After ashort time the Chief Librarian suggested that he took a post-graduate library qualification He was then offered a place at Aberystwyth

After this he took a job at he British Steel Corporation butleft when they relocated to Sheffield His next job was at theInternational Chamber of Commerce and it was during thistime that he was knocked down on a zebra crossing by a bus which caused severe bruising of his brain

He enjoyed his time at the International Chamber ofCommerce there were a good mix of employees and they oftenmet at weekends for Sunday afternoon tea or dinner and tookturns in cooking

He was approached by Durries a shipping company to workfor them keeping t he records in order hey moved to Canary Wharf which made it more difficult for David to get to theopera or concerts During the recession he was made redundant

David then changed his career path altogether and began working at a centre for the mentally handicapped Here hehelped with delivery of free newspapers gardening cooking

shopping and other tasks to help visitors to the centre becomemore independent

He joined the Friends of Kew Gardens and I accompaniedhim on many trips to different gardens When the Centremoved to Essex it was too far for David to travel so he wasagain without a job

During his life David had travelled to Egypt down theRhine and visited his great love Russia His last trip there was with a friend during the White Nights Festival

he family noticed the deterioration of his health It was agreat shock to be informed of his death

Oval and he returned to studying archaeology and aspects ofancient Rome Mike had continued to keep abreast of recentdevelopments in his subject and was in ongoing contact withan academic at Wadham and was planning a further degree

Sadly however Mike was unable to make much progress with this work as his illness became untreatable sooner thanexpected

Mike was a highly individual non-conformist He had anastute analytical mind He was kind and loyal and generousHe was extremely thoughtful not only with regard to peoplebut also with regard to his academic interests and to thepolitical issues of the day

He is greatly missed

Piers was also an effective administrator and a diplomatic

colleague twice becoming acting Master of Pembroke Hislow-key and sensitive tact helped solve some serious problemsover the years although it was perhaps of less use when tryingto remonstrate at a College Ball in his capacity as Dean witha rampaging he Who in their 1960s ldquoprimerdquo

to read English and took special pleasure in the University

Lectures of such notable scholars as JRR olkien and CS LewisOn graduation in 1949 Godfrey went into advertising livingin London and working as Creative Director for Foote Coneand Belding and later at Notleys During this period he wroteand broadcasted for radio and television in Britain France and America

During his life Godfrey encountered some remarkablepeople He studied the philosophy of Guerdjej author of Alland Everything and personally knew Idris Shah Russell andVera Page and many other writers of distinction

John Platt (1956) writes ldquoGodfrey always remained loyalto his old College I recall that for many years from the early1970s he regularly attend the annual dinners of the PembrokeCollege Society In 1984 when under the leadership of theMaster Sir Geoffrey Arthur an appeal was made for muchneeded funds Godfrey freely offered his expert services for theproduction of the brochure which launched what proved to bea very successful campaignrdquo

Godfrey decided to leave London and the rat race ofadvertising and moved to Addington in the heart of theBuckinghamshire countryside Soon afterwards he met hissecond wife Francoise Legrand in 1975 As a couple theystarted to enjoy a creative life ndash Godfrey writing books andFrancoise doing black and white photography ogether theypublished Boatopia (1986) and Paris the Essential City (1988)for which he provided the text and she the photographs

Prior to this Godfrey had already published A Guide toGood English in the 1980s (1985) which was translated intoFrench and was to be the first of a series of no fewer than sixbooks on this theme he first of these Getting hrough Howto Make Words Work for You (1989) which aimed to improvepeoplersquos ability in communication also appeared in a Frenchtranslation Godfrey was then commissioned to write a secondbook on communication for the new decade Can you Put it ona -Shirt Communication Skills for the 1990s (1991) His nextand lengthiest work he Good English Guide English Usage inthe 1990s (1993) was subsequently translated into Japanese andKorean Godfreyrsquos penultimate publication he MacmillanGood English Guide (1997) was very nearly as substantial as itspredecessor and paved the way for his final book co-authored with Gray Joliffe A Guide to English in the 21st Century (2002)

activities occupied his time ldquoat the cost of collecting picturesrdquoHis secondary schooling was marked by wartime evacuation

to Penrith where he threw himself into everything on offerDespite the deprivations that undoubtedly existed he alwaysdescribed them as halcyon days

He went up to Pembroke for the Michaelmas erm 1944to read Jurisprudence under the Admiralty Y Scheme whereby potential officers could spend six months atuniversity combining academic study and naval training Hiscontemporary Roff Rayner (1944) said ldquoIt was a strange timein blacked out Oxford with Pembroke largely occupied by theMinistry of Agriculture and only a score or so undergraduatesNevertheless it was enough to give an idea of what Universitylife might be like On demobilisation in 1947 Walter returnedto Pembroke with enthusiasmrdquo

Walter wrote ldquo[I] seized the opportunity to enjoy theactivities on offer there rightly anticipating that such a chance would not come again [I] played the violin in the OxfordOrchestra and the orchestras of the Opera and Music Clubsand was a member of the Pembroke College Quartet which wasinvited to perform in a Sunday evening Balliol College concert

[I] also played folk music with the Cecil Sharp Club and evenmanaged to be President of the Blackstone Societyrdquo

Graduating in 1949 following the two year post-waraccelerated programme his time at Pembroke was a source ofpride for the rest of his life

Returning to yneside and having found the necessarypound150 Articles of Clerkship followed and thereafter admissionto the Roll in 1952

Meeting Shirley Bittermann thereafter determined the courseof his personal and professional life Her father a well knownlocal practitioner offered Walter a place in the firm whichby the time of their marriage in 1957 had become known asELF Bittermann amp Wood ogether uneasily at times theypractised until his father-in-lawrsquos death He sat as a DeputyRegistrar but full time judicial office never appealed

An old fashioned high street solicitor of the type that is nowa dying if not dead breed he turned his hand to anything and was truly in the memorable definition of Sir Robert Megarrylsquoa universal spiderrsquo he knew how to get things done He tookhis turn on the Standing Committee of the Newcastle-upon-yne Law Society serving as its President in 1985-6 He washeavily involved in a bewildering range of charitable activitiesincluding setting up Abbeyfield Society Homes whichinfluenced the decision to move to one of them himself

But when all is said and done Walter was a family manHis marriage to Shirley was a good and sustaining one Of ittouchingly but perceptively he said this

ldquo[I] married Shirley in 1957 and we celebrated 57 yearstogetherhellip thanks to her good care and cooking hard workand common senserdquo

He brought his children up with a strong public service ethicconsonant with his belief that to practise was to serve he RGScontinued to hold an abiding fascination and he was pleasedthat his son and t hree of his grandsons followed him there

he last two years were not easy First deafness and thenblindness left him increasingly isolated He lived in Abbeyfieldfor 18 months dying on 15 December in his 89 th year sadlyanticipating that he would fail to achieve his ambition ofreaching the age of 90

hat progress was accomplished largely by selling theUniversity Heights campus in the Bronx closing the engineeringschool paring full-time faculty positions merging graduateand undergraduate business programs cutting intercollegiatecompetition in baseball football and basketball and requiringvarious components of the university including the school ofsocial work to pay their own way

At the same time Dr Hester raised academic standards andfielded recruiters to reverse a decline in out-of-town students

Dr Hester once explained that he wound up in highereducation almost by accident During the American militaryoccupation of Japan he worked as a civilian supervising schoolsBut even as a self-described ldquoprofessional administratorrdquo heemerged as a national presence

He headed a White House task force on higher education thatin 1970 recommended an expansion of federal scholarshipsa larger commitment to black colleges grants to graduateschools and tax incentives to encourage private contributions

to universitiesLike other college presidents he contended with campus unrest

which brought unwelcome attention Until he qualified hissupport for the war in Vietnam by urging Americarsquos withdrawal assoon as possible he had been assailed by campus protesters

After the invasion of Cambodia and the fatal shooting byNational Guardsmen of four students during an anti-warprotest at Kent State University in Ohio in 1970 Dr Hester wrote an impassioned appeal to President Richard Nixonto ldquoconsider the incalculable dangers of an unprecedentedalienation of Americarsquos youthrdquo and to ldquoend the war quicklyrdquoIt was signed by the presidents of 37 colleges and universities

He also lamented the lack of social contact between blacksand whites who had reached comparable educational levels andpresciently warned of the depersonalizing impact of technology

Mike was born and raisedin Belfast from a Protestantbackground He had anunyielding unrelenting sense of justice and democracy He was

involved in the civil rights marches and protests in Ireland in

the 1970s and brought his political k nowledge and experiencesof Irish politics to Oxford working hard to develop supportand understanding amongst both students and within the localcommunity through the Labour Party and other organisations

Mike was involved in student politics and in particular thefight for a unified Student Union seen as a more democratic way to organise his developed into direct action whenstudents successfully occupied the Examination Schools andtried to smash down the door of the Indian Institute in 1973

Consequently some students were expelled and othersrusticated Mike was amongst the latter returning to completehis final year in 1974

Mike was renowned by all those who knew him for his illegiblehandwriting he fact that his tutor Godfrey Bond went to theunusual length of arranging for a typist to transcribe Mikersquosfinal exams so that t hey could be marked showed great respectfor his scholarship and knowledge

Mike combined his commitment to his studies with hisengagement in politics He was well able to integrate a Marxistapproach to his studies and recalled lively discussions with hisutor Dr P J Cuff Indeed Dr Cuff himself acknowledgedthis when he sent Mike a copy of his publication QuaestionesPerpetuae res 1977 with a signed handwritten inscriptionlsquoFor Michael Pixton without whom this could not have been writtenrsquo

At Pembroke Bernard soon became involved in a number ofcircles outside his own subject as he represented the Collegein both rugby and rowing hus he made many more friendssome of whom were to be with him all his life

On leaving Oxford Bernard joined the graduate entry schemeof ube Investments he was to be with a series of connectedcompanies throughout his working life including British Aluminium Alcan and a final management buy-out His workbrought him to all parts of the world in his capacity as MarketingManagerDirector his might be thought a surprising field forhim since he did not come across as a natural extrovert Nodoubt it was his integrity quiet determination and attention todetail together with a delicate sense of humour which broughthim success with customers and colleagues

When Bernard retired he was livi ng in a semi-rural villageoutside Solihull Here he enjoyed tennis and bridge with localfriends ndash as well as defeating ever encroaching local planningapplications

Not being content to remain anywhere for long he wasever on the move golfing and skiing holidaying with friendscalling on cousins in Perthshire and relaxing in Porthcawl

where with his sister Anne he had developed a shared secondhome overlooking the Bristol Channel here he would playgolf attend rugby matches and enjoy the tranquillity of theblue horizons

As Baudelaire wrote in lsquoElevationrsquo (from lsquoLes Fleurs du Malrsquo)

Heureux celui qui peut drsquoune aile vigoureuse srsquoeacutelancer vers les champs lumineux et serein

Come winter Bernard would be off again for warmer climesbut returning always to spend Christmas with his sister and herfamily

Having seemingly overcome skin and prostate cancer someyears earlier he was now suddenly faced with a canceroustumour against which he fought stubbornly for over a year When it was thought to have gone another appeared and thishe was unable to overcome

During his last days he enjoyed the support of his friend Juliaand was lovingly cared for by his sister Anne He leaves manyhappy memories where his comradeship and fun were alwaysto the fore His humour was understated and subtle he dislikedpomposity and would prick it gently where he could He wasparticularly good with children who would look forward tohis visits for his kindliness wry humour and encouragement

Although he set high standards for himself (and his friends)he was always there to help and guide others generous in givingand in his quiet way would go to great lengths to providesupport without ever asking for it himself He was determinedlyindependent often concealing his inner feelings whilst beingthoughtful and considerate for the feelings of others

He is much missed by many as was evident at his memorialservice and will be long remembered with great affection

During this time David found a love for classical musicespecially opera and visiting museums and art galleries He was awarded a place at Pembroke College where he progressed

well in GreatsDuring the long holidays he would do some studying and

often visited friends who lived on a farm in a minute village with no shops Once he went walking along the Ridgeway

After University he was unsure about what he wanted to dobut took a job at Buckingham Palace Road Library After ashort time the Chief Librarian suggested that he took a post-graduate library qualification He was then offered a place at Aberystwyth

After this he took a job at he British Steel Corporation butleft when they relocated to Sheffield His next job was at theInternational Chamber of Commerce and it was during thistime that he was knocked down on a zebra crossing by a bus which caused severe bruising of his brain

He enjoyed his time at the International Chamber ofCommerce there were a good mix of employees and they oftenmet at weekends for Sunday afternoon tea or dinner and tookturns in cooking

He was approached by Durries a shipping company to workfor them keeping t he records in order hey moved to Canary Wharf which made it more difficult for David to get to theopera or concerts During the recession he was made redundant

David then changed his career path altogether and began working at a centre for the mentally handicapped Here hehelped with delivery of free newspapers gardening cooking

shopping and other tasks to help visitors to the centre becomemore independent

He joined the Friends of Kew Gardens and I accompaniedhim on many trips to different gardens When the Centremoved to Essex it was too far for David to travel so he wasagain without a job

During his life David had travelled to Egypt down theRhine and visited his great love Russia His last trip there was with a friend during the White Nights Festival

he family noticed the deterioration of his health It was agreat shock to be informed of his death

Oval and he returned to studying archaeology and aspects ofancient Rome Mike had continued to keep abreast of recentdevelopments in his subject and was in ongoing contact withan academic at Wadham and was planning a further degree

Sadly however Mike was unable to make much progress with this work as his illness became untreatable sooner thanexpected

Mike was a highly individual non-conformist He had anastute analytical mind He was kind and loyal and generousHe was extremely thoughtful not only with regard to peoplebut also with regard to his academic interests and to thepolitical issues of the day

He is greatly missed

ldquoPembroke nurtured my ability to work under pressure

and excel under challenging circumstances I give to

College because of its enduring commitment to widening

access and providing a well-rounded student experience

Whilst at Pembroke I beneted enormously from nancial assistance

funded by generous support from donors This made a profound

difference to my university experience and gave me the opportunity

to participate fully in College life I delight in being part of any drive

to maintain that tradition rdquo

both individually and as a couple It provides the

backdrop for so many important aspects of our

lives ndash not least the sense of belonging that being

part of the College community brings and needless

to say we have especially happy memories of our

wedding in the College Chapel

Donating to Pembroke for us at least means giving

something back to help ensure that current and future generations of

Pembrokians have a similarly positive experience Aruna is particularly

keen to support the Access initiatives as he rst considered applying

to Oxford after visiting Pembroke as part of one of these eventsrdquo

During his life Godfrey encountered some remarkablepeople He studied the philosophy of Guerdjej author of Alland Everything and personally knew Idris Shah Russell andVera Page and many other writers of distinction

John Platt (1956) writes ldquoGodfrey always remained loyalto his old College I recall that for many years from the early1970s he regularly attend the annual dinners of the PembrokeCollege Society In 1984 when under the leadership of theMaster Sir Geoffrey Arthur an appeal was made for muchneeded funds Godfrey freely offered his expert services for theproduction of the brochure which launched what proved to bea very successful campaignrdquo

Godfrey decided to leave London and the rat race ofadvertising and moved to Addington in the heart of theBuckinghamshire countryside Soon afterwards he met hissecond wife Francoise Legrand in 1975 As a couple theystarted to enjoy a creative life ndash Godfrey writing books andFrancoise doing black and white photography ogether theypublished Boatopia (1986) and Paris the Essential City (1988)for which he provided the text and she the photographs

to Penrith where he threw himself into everything on offerDespite the deprivations that undoubtedly existed he alwaysdescribed them as halcyon days

He went up to Pembroke for the Michaelmas erm 1944to read Jurisprudence under the Admiralty Y Scheme whereby potential officers could spend six months atuniversity combining academic study and naval training Hiscontemporary Roff Rayner (1944) said ldquoIt was a strange timein blacked out Oxford with Pembroke largely occupied by theMinistry of Agriculture and only a score or so undergraduatesNevertheless it was enough to give an idea of what Universitylife might be like On demobilisation in 1947 Walter returnedto Pembroke with enthusiasmrdquo

Walter wrote ldquo[I] seized the opportunity to enjoy theactivities on offer there rightly anticipating that such a chance would not come again [I] played the violin in the OxfordOrchestra and the orchestras of the Opera and Music Clubsand was a member of the Pembroke College Quartet which wasinvited to perform in a Sunday evening Balliol College concert

[I] also played folk music with the Cecil Sharp Club and evenmanaged to be President of the Blackstone Societyrdquo

But when all is said and done Walter was a family manHis marriage to Shirley was a good and sustaining one Of ittouchingly but perceptively he said this

ldquo[I] married Shirley in 1957 and we celebrated 57 yearstogetherhellip thanks to her good care and cooking hard workand common senserdquo

He brought his children up with a strong public service ethicconsonant with his belief that to practise was to serve he RGScontinued to hold an abiding fascination and he was pleasedthat his son and t hree of his grandsons followed him there

hat progress was accomplished largely by selling theUniversity Heights campus in the Bronx closing the engineeringschool paring full-time faculty positions merging graduateand undergraduate business programs cutting intercollegiatecompetition in baseball football and basketball and requiringvarious components of the university including the school ofsocial work to pay their own way

At the same time Dr Hester raised academic standards andfielded recruiters to reverse a decline in out-of-town students

Dr Hester once explained that he wound up in highereducation almost by accident During the American militaryoccupation of Japan he worked as a civilian supervising schoolsBut even as a self-described ldquoprofessional administratorrdquo heemerged as a national presence

He headed a White House task force on higher education thatin 1970 recommended an expansion of federal scholarshipsa larger commitment to black colleges grants to graduateschools and tax incentives to encourage private contributions

to universitiesLike other college presidents he contended with campus unrest

which brought unwelcome attention Until he qualified hissupport for the war in Vietnam by urging Americarsquos withdrawal assoon as possible he had been assailed by campus protesters

After the invasion of Cambodia and the fatal shooting byNational Guardsmen of four students during an anti-warprotest at Kent State University in Ohio in 1970 Dr Hester wrote an impassioned appeal to President Richard Nixonto ldquoconsider the incalculable dangers of an unprecedentedalienation of Americarsquos youthrdquo and to ldquoend the war quicklyrdquoIt was signed by the presidents of 37 colleges and universities

He also lamented the lack of social contact between blacksand whites who had reached comparable educational levels andpresciently warned of the depersonalizing impact of technology

When Bernard retired he was livi ng in a semi-rural villageoutside Solihull Here he enjoyed tennis and bridge with localfriends ndash as well as defeating ever encroaching local planningapplications

Not being content to remain anywhere for long he wasever on the move golfing and skiing holidaying with friendscalling on cousins in Perthshire and relaxing in Porthcawl

where with his sister Anne he had developed a shared secondhome overlooking the Bristol Channel here he would playgolf attend rugby matches and enjoy the tranquillity of theblue horizons

During his last days he enjoyed the support of his friend Juliaand was lovingly cared for by his sister Anne He leaves manyhappy memories where his comradeship and fun were alwaysto the fore His humour was understated and subtle he dislikedpomposity and would prick it gently where he could He wasparticularly good with children who would look forward tohis visits for his kindliness wry humour and encouragement

Although he set high standards for himself (and his friends)he was always there to help and guide others generous in givingand in his quiet way would go to great lengths to providesupport without ever asking for it himself He was determinedlyindependent often concealing his inner feelings whilst beingthoughtful and considerate for the feelings of others

CHRIS JEENS(1972)

21st November 1954 ndash 13th August 2015

David was the third child of JamesPrice (engineer) He was like anyother boy and on a trip to Oxford ataround ten years old he decided he wanted to go to Oxford University Ateleven he passed his 11+ examinationand was placed in the A stream forlanguages He chose Greek and Latinas his specialist languages and gained A levels and S levels in Greek Latinand Ancient History

During this time David found a love for classical musicespecially opera and visiting museums and art galleries He was awarded a place at Pembroke College where he progressed

well in GreatsDuring the long holidays he would do some studying and

often visited friends who lived on a farm in a minute village with no shops Once he went walking along the Ridgeway

After University he was unsure about what he wanted to dobut took a job at Buckingham Palace Road Library After ashort time the Chief Librarian suggested that he took a post-graduate library qualification He was then offered a place at Aberystwyth

After this he took a job at he British Steel Corporation butleft when they relocated to Sheffield His next job was at theInternational Chamber of Commerce and it was during thistime that he was knocked down on a zebra crossing by a bus which caused severe bruising of his brain

He enjoyed his time at the International Chamber ofCommerce there were a good mix of employees and they oftenmet at weekends for Sunday afternoon tea or dinner and tookturns in cooking

He was approached by Durries a shipping company to workfor them keeping t he records in order hey moved to Canary Wharf which made it more difficult for David to get to theopera or concerts During the recession he was made redundant

David then changed his career path altogether and began working at a centre for the mentally handicapped Here hehelped with delivery of free newspapers gardening cooking

shopping and other tasks to help visitors to the centre becomemore independent

He joined the Friends of Kew Gardens and I accompaniedhim on many trips to different gardens When the Centremoved to Essex it was too far for David to travel so he wasagain without a job

During his life David had travelled to Egypt down theRhine and visited his great love Russia His last trip there was with a friend during the White Nights Festival

he family noticed the deterioration of his health It was agreat shock to be informed of his death

DAVID PRICE(1965)

1947 ndash 2015

Oval and he returned to studying archaeology and aspects ofancient Rome Mike had continued to keep abreast of recentdevelopments in his subject and was in ongoing contact withan academic at Wadham and was planning a further degree

Sadly however Mike was unable to make much progress with this work as his illness became untreatable sooner thanexpected

Mike was a highly individual non-conformist He had anastute analytical mind He was kind and loyal and generousHe was extremely thoughtful not only with regard to peoplebut also with regard to his academic interests and to thepolitical issues of the day

He is greatly missed

He was sent to what was then a harsh Edinburgh prepschool then on to Wellington where he flourished in itsrelatively liberal atmosphere winning a scholarship to ChristChurch in 1942

But World War II intervened and after traini ng Piers joinedthe Royal Scots Greys in Northern France three months afterD-Day at the age of 19 hey fought their way in Shermantanks across Belgium Holland and Germany ending up onthe Baltic

Piers wrote six books all much admired and all with greatclarity and lightness of touch despite their scholarly nature Hisfirst he War in the Mediterranean 1803-1810 was publishedin 1957 His second he War for America established aninternational reputation It was a strategic study of how theBritish government struggled to conduct an irregular warthousands of miles away at a time when it took months to geta message across the Atlantic and America was but one front ina world war Published at a time when America was struggling with its own deepening quagmire in Vietnam it was one ofthe catalysts for the revision of Americarsquos simplistic David-and-Goliath creation myth A reviewer in the WashingtonPost of a recent new edition referred to it as the ldquosingle best

such work that I haveever encounteredrdquoand highlighted itsldquostriking parallelsrdquo with recent Americanmistakes in Iraq

Piers was also an effective administrator and a diplomatic

colleague twice becoming acting Master of Pembroke Hislow-key and sensitive tact helped solve some serious problemsover the years although it was perhaps of less use when tryingto remonstrate at a College Ball in his capacity as Dean witha rampaging he Who in their 1960s ldquoprimerdquo

James was born in Stock Essexthe second son of Capt RN (retired)homas and Kathleen Slator James was a sickly child as unbeknown tohis parents he was suffering fromcoeliac disease for which there wasno treatment at that time It wasonly in the late 1950s that James was properly diagnosed with thecondition and with a change in diethe became a much healthier man

In 1927 Jamesrsquos father retired from

the Navy and took a teaching job in San Remo moving thefamily to Italy hey returned to the UK in 1932 and settled inHolt North Norfolk where James and his older brother om were educated at Greshamrsquos School In 1941 James obtained aplace at Pembroke to read Medicine and graduated in 1946the normal six year course being compressed into five becauseof the War It was while James was a student at Oxford thatcycling played a significant role in his life as the only readymeans of getting back home to Holt was to cycle a journeyof some 150+ miles his he would do over a couple of daysresting and sleeping in fields if necessary and navigating by thesun and stars

He trained as a Junior House Doctor at the RadcliffeInfirmary and following qualification he became interested inthoracic medicine and so spent some time as a Senior HouseOfficer at the Osler Pavilion the B Sanatorium attached tothe Radcliffe Infirmary It was at the Osler Pavilion that he firstmet Mary his wife to be

hey married in January 1950 and James did his NationalService in the RMAC at the Army Connaught Hospital amilitary B sanatorium on Hindhead Heath Unfortunatelyhe contracted B himself and so was discharged from the Army in 1952 on medical grounds He was treated at the SladeHospital Headington which meant moving the family back to

Oxford After recovering he worked as a Senior House Doctor atthe Churchill Hospital in Oxford It was a year later that anadvertisement for a doctorrsquos post at Kelling Sanatorium in Holtndash with house thrown in ndash was spotted Apart from anothershort spell of B in 1955 he spent a very happy working lifethere During his time overseeing the sanatorium it changedto a thriving community hospital treating other diseases withconvalescent beds for the Norfolk amp Norwich Hospital andalso the introduction of a Neurological Unit Under Jamesrsquosleadership horacic and Orthopaedic surgery was introducedDuring his time at Kelling Hospital James studied for andpassed the exam for membership of the Royal College ofPhysicians

James was highly regarded by the medical communityin the Norfolk area both for his specialist thoracic and his wider general medical knowledge James took the decision

not to become a consultant himself but in recognition of hisachievements at Kelling he was proposed by his consultantcolleagues for Fellowship of the Royal College of Physiciansand Fellowship which was granted in 1965

In 1983 James retired from his working life at KellingHospital but remained very much in touch with the Hospitaland became heavily involved with the local community andfund raising

James had a great love for music and was a very accomplishedamateur cello player He played in many local orchestras stringquartets and trios He also played with some of the larger orchestrasin the area when they needed the number of cellos increased forperformances in larger churches and cathedrals in Norwich

Jamesrsquo other major interest was his family He loved his familyand nothing gave him more pleasure than caring for helpingand encouraging them as they grew up He was delighted to seehis children married and in t urn watch their children grow upand in some cases also get married He took a keen interestin what his grandchildren were doing in their lives and onlyrecently he was delighted to be able to hold his second great-grandchild James leaves behind his devoted and loving wifeMary and four children Richard David Rona and Ann

It is in recognition of Jamesrsquos love for his family his love forcycling and his interest in Kelling hospital that members of

the Slator familyundertook a charityride in August thisyear from PembrokeCollege to KellingHospital to raisemoney to supportthe introductionand running ofHospice beds his

time the ride of 156 miles was completed in a day

hat progress was accomplished largely by selling theUniversity Heights campus in the Bronx closing the engineeringschool paring full-time faculty positions merging graduateand undergraduate business programs cutting intercollegiatecompetition in baseball football and basketball and requiringvarious components of the university including the school ofsocial work to pay their own way

At the same time Dr Hester raised academic standards andfielded recruiters to reverse a decline in out-of-town students

Dr Hester once explained that he wound up in highereducation almost by accident During the American militaryoccupation of Japan he worked as a civilian supervising schoolsBut even as a self-described ldquoprofessional administratorrdquo heemerged as a national presence

He headed a White House task force on higher education thatin 1970 recommended an expansion of federal scholarshipsa larger commitment to black colleges grants to graduateschools and tax incentives to encourage private contributions

to universitiesLike other college presidents he contended with campus unrest

which brought unwelcome attention Until he qualified hissupport for the war in Vietnam by urging Americarsquos withdrawal assoon as possible he had been assailed by campus protesters

After the invasion of Cambodia and the fatal shooting byNational Guardsmen of four students during an anti-warprotest at Kent State University in Ohio in 1970 Dr Hester wrote an impassioned appeal to President Richard Nixonto ldquoconsider the incalculable dangers of an unprecedentedalienation of Americarsquos youthrdquo and to ldquoend the war quicklyrdquoIt was signed by the presidents of 37 colleges and universities

He also lamented the lack of social contact between blacksand whites who had reached comparable educational levels andpresciently warned of the depersonalizing impact of technology

On leaving Oxford Bernard joined the graduate entry schemeof ube Investments he was to be with a series of connectedcompanies throughout his working life including British Aluminium Alcan and a final management buy-out His workbrought him to all parts of the world in his capacity as MarketingManagerDirector his might be thought a surprising field forhim since he did not come across as a natural extrovert Nodoubt it was his integrity quiet determination and attention todetail together with a delicate sense of humour which broughthim success with customers and colleagues

When Bernard retired he was livi ng in a semi-rural villageoutside Solihull Here he enjoyed tennis and bridge with localfriends ndash as well as defeating ever encroaching local planningapplications

Not being content to remain anywhere for long he wasever on the move golfing and skiing holidaying with friendscalling on cousins in Perthshire and relaxing in Porthcawl

where with his sister Anne he had developed a shared secondhome overlooking the Bristol Channel here he would playgolf attend rugby matches and enjoy the tranquillity of theblue horizons

As Baudelaire wrote in lsquoElevationrsquo (from lsquoLes Fleurs du Malrsquo)

Heureux celui qui peut drsquoune aile vigoureuse srsquoeacutelancer vers les champs lumineux et serein

Come winter Bernard would be off again for warmer climesbut returning always to spend Christmas with his sister and herfamily

Having seemingly overcome skin and prostate cancer someyears earlier he was now suddenly faced with a canceroustumour against which he fought stubbornly for over a year When it was thought to have gone another appeared and thishe was unable to overcome

During his last days he enjoyed the support of his friend Juliaand was lovingly cared for by his sister Anne He leaves manyhappy memories where his comradeship and fun were alwaysto the fore His humour was understated and subtle he dislikedpomposity and would prick it gently where he could He wasparticularly good with children who would look forward tohis visits for his kindliness wry humour and encouragement

Although he set high standards for himself (and his friends)he was always there to help and guide others generous in givingand in his quiet way would go to great lengths to providesupport without ever asking for it himself He was determinedlyindependent often concealing his inner feelings whilst beingthoughtful and considerate for the feelings of others

He is much missed by many as was evident at his memorialservice and will be long remembered with great affection

He went up to Pembroke for the Michaelmas erm 1944to read Jurisprudence under the Admiralty Y Scheme whereby potential officers could spend six months atuniversity combining academic study and naval training Hiscontemporary Roff Rayner (1944) said ldquoIt was a strange timein blacked out Oxford with Pembroke largely occupied by theMinistry of Agriculture and only a score or so undergraduatesNevertheless it was enough to give an idea of what Universitylife might be like On demobilisation in 1947 Walter returnedto Pembroke with enthusiasmrdquo

Walter wrote ldquo[I] seized the opportunity to enjoy theactivities on offer there rightly anticipating that such a chance would not come again [I] played the violin in the OxfordOrchestra and the orchestras of the Opera and Music Clubsand was a member of the Pembroke College Quartet which wasinvited to perform in a Sunday evening Balliol College concert

hat progress was accomplished largely by selling theUniversity Heights campus in the Bronx closing the engineeringschool paring full-time faculty positions merging graduateand undergraduate business programs cutting intercollegiatecompetition in baseball football and basketball and requiringvarious components of the university including the school ofsocial work to pay their own way

At the same time Dr Hester raised academic standards andfielded recruiters to reverse a decline in out-of-town students

Dr Hester once explained that he wound up in highereducation almost by accident During the American militaryoccupation of Japan he worked as a civilian supervising schoolsBut even as a self-described ldquoprofessional administratorrdquo heemerged as a national presence

He headed a White House task force on higher education thatin 1970 recommended an expansion of federal scholarshipsa larger commitment to black colleges grants to graduateschools and tax incentives to encourage private contributions

to universitiesLike other college presidents he contended with campus unrest

which brought unwelcome attention Until he qualified hissupport for the war in Vietnam by urging Americarsquos withdrawal assoon as possible he had been assailed by campus protesters

After the invasion of Cambodia and the fatal shooting byNational Guardsmen of four students during an anti-warprotest at Kent State University in Ohio in 1970 Dr Hester wrote an impassioned appeal to President Richard Nixonto ldquoconsider the incalculable dangers of an unprecedentedalienation of Americarsquos youthrdquo and to ldquoend the war quicklyrdquoIt was signed by the presidents of 37 colleges and universities

He also lamented the lack of social contact between blacksand whites who had reached comparable educational levels andpresciently warned of the depersonalizing impact of technology

He went up to Pembroke for the Michaelmas erm 1944to read Jurisprudence under the Admiralty Y Scheme whereby potential officers could spend six months atuniversity combining academic study and naval training Hiscontemporary Roff Rayner (1944) said ldquoIt was a strange timein blacked out Oxford with Pembroke largely occupied by theMinistry of Agriculture and only a score or so undergraduatesNevertheless it was enough to give an idea of what Universitylife might be like On demobilisation in 1947 Walter returnedto Pembroke with enthusiasmrdquo

Walter wrote ldquo[I] seized the opportunity to enjoy theactivities on offer there rightly anticipating that such a chance would not come again [I] played the violin in the OxfordOrchestra and the orchestras of the Opera and Music Clubsand was a member of the Pembroke College Quartet which wasinvited to perform in a Sunday evening Balliol College concert

[I] also played folk music with the Cecil Sharp Club and evenmanaged to be President of the Blackstone Societyrdquo

But when all is said and done Walter was a family manHis marriage to Shirley was a good and sustaining one Of ittouchingly but perceptively he said this

ldquo[I] married Shirley in 1957 and we celebrated 57 yearstogetherhellip thanks to her good care and cooking hard workand common senserdquo

He brought his children up with a strong public service ethicconsonant with his belief that to practise was to serve he RGScontinued to hold an abiding fascination and he was pleasedthat his son and t hree of his grandsons followed him there

hat progress was accomplished largely by selling theUniversity Heights campus in the Bronx closing the engineeringschool paring full-time faculty positions merging graduateand undergraduate business programs cutting intercollegiatecompetition in baseball football and basketball and requiringvarious components of the university including the school ofsocial work to pay their own way

At the same time Dr Hester raised academic standards andfielded recruiters to reverse a decline in out-of-town students

Dr Hester once explained that he wound up in highereducation almost by accident During the American militaryoccupation of Japan he worked as a civilian supervising schoolsBut even as a self-described ldquoprofessional administratorrdquo heemerged as a national presence

He headed a White House task force on higher education thatin 1970 recommended an expansion of federal scholarshipsa larger commitment to black colleges grants to graduateschools and tax incentives to encourage private contributions

to universitiesLike other college presidents he contended with campus unrest

which brought unwelcome attention Until he qualified hissupport for the war in Vietnam by urging Americarsquos withdrawal assoon as possible he had been assailed by campus protesters

After the invasion of Cambodia and the fatal shooting byNational Guardsmen of four students during an anti-warprotest at Kent State University in Ohio in 1970 Dr Hester wrote an impassioned appeal to President Richard Nixonto ldquoconsider the incalculable dangers of an unprecedentedalienation of Americarsquos youthrdquo and to ldquoend the war quicklyrdquoIt was signed by the presidents of 37 colleges and universities

He also lamented the lack of social contact between blacksand whites who had reached comparable educational levels andpresciently warned of the depersonalizing impact of technology

to Oxford in the summer of 1954 by hitching a ride on an assldquosurrounded by a crowd of Arabsrdquo

He left Oxford in 1955 He spent much of 1956 exploringScandinavia and in 1957 went to Canada mixing concretefor a dam in Vancouver then working as a nightwatchman adish-washer and a rancher in Alberta He also coached peoplein French and English marked exam papers and got himselfup to reading standard in Russian Polish German Italian andSpanish living as cheaply as he could and sending most of hisearnings back to his widowed mother

After three years in Canada and America Laurence moved toStuttgart to improve his German then returned to Shrewsburyto look after his mother He spent many years working as asupply teacher in Cambridge and London before finallyretiring to Cottenham

He went up to Pembroke for the Michaelmas erm 1944to read Jurisprudence under the Admiralty Y Scheme whereby potential officers could spend six months atuniversity combining academic study and naval training Hiscontemporary Roff Rayner (1944) said ldquoIt was a strange timein blacked out Oxford with Pembroke largely occupied by theMinistry of Agriculture and only a score or so undergraduatesNevertheless it was enough to give an idea of what Universitylife might be like On demobilisation in 1947 Walter returnedto Pembroke with enthusiasmrdquo

Walter wrote ldquo[I] seized the opportunity to enjoy theactivities on offer there rightly anticipating that such a chance would not come again [I] played the violin in the OxfordOrchestra and the orchestras of the Opera and Music Clubsand was a member of the Pembroke College Quartet which wasinvited to perform in a Sunday evening Balliol College concert

[I] also played folk music with the Cecil Sharp Club and evenmanaged to be President of the Blackstone Societyrdquo

But when all is said and done Walter was a family manHis marriage to Shirley was a good and sustaining one Of ittouchingly but perceptively he said this

ldquo[I] married Shirley in 1957 and we celebrated 57 yearstogetherhellip thanks to her good care and cooking hard workand common senserdquo

He brought his children up with a strong public service ethicconsonant with his belief that to practise was to serve he RGScontinued to hold an abiding fascination and he was pleasedthat his son and t hree of his grandsons followed him there

hat progress was accomplished largely by selling theUniversity Heights campus in the Bronx closing the engineeringschool paring full-time faculty positions merging graduateand undergraduate business programs cutting intercollegiatecompetition in baseball football and basketball and requiringvarious components of the university including the school ofsocial work to pay their own way

At the same time Dr Hester raised academic standards andfielded recruiters to reverse a decline in out-of-town students

Dr Hester once explained that he wound up in highereducation almost by accident During the American militaryoccupation of Japan he worked as a civilian supervising schoolsBut even as a self-described ldquoprofessional administratorrdquo heemerged as a national presence

He headed a White House task force on higher education thatin 1970 recommended an expansion of federal scholarshipsa larger commitment to black colleges grants to graduateschools and tax incentives to encourage private contributions

to universitiesLike other college presidents he contended with campus unrest

which brought unwelcome attention Until he qualified hissupport for the war in Vietnam by urging Americarsquos withdrawal assoon as possible he had been assailed by campus protesters

After the invasion of Cambodia and the fatal shooting byNational Guardsmen of four students during an anti-warprotest at Kent State University in Ohio in 1970 Dr Hester wrote an impassioned appeal to President Richard Nixonto ldquoconsider the incalculable dangers of an unprecedentedalienation of Americarsquos youthrdquo and to ldquoend the war quicklyrdquoIt was signed by the presidents of 37 colleges and universities

He also lamented the lack of social contact between blacksand whites who had reached comparable educational levels andpresciently warned of the depersonalizing impact of technology

On leaving Oxford Bernard joined the graduate entry schemeof ube Investments he was to be with a series of connectedcompanies throughout his working life including British Aluminium Alcan and a final management buy-out His workbrought him to all parts of the world in his capacity as MarketingManagerDirector his might be thought a surprising field forhim since he did not come across as a natural extrovert Nodoubt it was his integrity quiet determination and attention todetail together with a delicate sense of humour which broughthim success with customers and colleagues

When Bernard retired he was livi ng in a semi-rural villageoutside Solihull Here he enjoyed tennis and bridge with localfriends ndash as well as defeating ever encroaching local planningapplications

Not being content to remain anywhere for long he wasever on the move golfing and skiing holidaying with friendscalling on cousins in Perthshire and relaxing in Porthcawl

where with his sister Anne he had developed a shared secondhome overlooking the Bristol Channel here he would playgolf attend rugby matches and enjoy the tranquillity of theblue horizons

Having seemingly overcome skin and prostate cancer someyears earlier he was now suddenly faced with a canceroustumour against which he fought stubbornly for over a year When it was thought to have gone another appeared and thishe was unable to overcome

During his last days he enjoyed the support of his friend Juliaand was lovingly cared for by his sister Anne He leaves manyhappy memories where his comradeship and fun were alwaysto the fore His humour was understated and subtle he dislikedpomposity and would prick it gently where he could He wasparticularly good with children who would look forward tohis visits for his kindliness wry humour and encouragement

Although he set high standards for himself (and his friends)he was always there to help and guide others generous in givingand in his quiet way would go to great lengths to providesupport without ever asking for it himself He was determinedlyindependent often concealing his inner feelings whilst beingthoughtful and considerate for the feelings of others

He is much missed by many as was evident at his memorialservice and will be long remembered with great affection

was also on duty many an evening at tending city banquetsin the Mansion House or Guildhall where I often had thepleasure of joining him

Did John manage to balance the claims on his life at workand home thanks to the stamina required by the rowingschedule at Pembroke I like to think so Not for him a quietevening on a Friday for entering our drive he was faced withfifty or so Crusaders who had taken over our house and gardencooking swimming or playing tennis Johnrsquos commitment tothe all-round development of young people began before Imet him Not only had he given up his holidays to be at PPSCamps to write the rag but he also led many a Broads sailingcruise for the young people at Emmanuel Church Northwood

In his historiographical methodology John would nevercherry-pick examples that supported his case he had nointerest in advancing a theory but in trawling the evidence toseek whatever conclusion would emerge then be maintained with doubt and modified as further evidence appeared He was one of the ver y few people who lsquospoke prosersquo abhorringclicheacutes or catchphrases though taking a slightly amused viewof them

His personality revealed the clarity eloquence and wit of hismind and his scrupulous personal ethics His life effectivelyspanned three careers as an exemplary and inspiring teacher asa policy initiator advisor and disseminator and in art historicalresearch in a previously unploughed field

hat progress was accomplished largely by selling theUniversity Heights campus in the Bronx closing the engineeringschool paring full-time faculty positions merging graduateand undergraduate business programs cutting intercollegiatecompetition in baseball football and basketball and requiringvarious components of the university including the school ofsocial work to pay their own way

At the same time Dr Hester raised academic standards andfielded recruiters to reverse a decline in out-of-town students

Dr Hester once explained that he wound up in highereducation almost by accident During the American militaryoccupation of Japan he worked as a civilian supervising schoolsBut even as a self-described ldquoprofessional administratorrdquo heemerged as a national presence

He headed a White House task force on higher education thatin 1970 recommended an expansion of federal scholarshipsa larger commitment to black colleges grants to graduateschools and tax incentives to encourage private contributions

to universitiesLike other college presidents he contended with campus unrest

which brought unwelcome attention Until he qualified hissupport for the war in Vietnam by urging Americarsquos withdrawal assoon as possible he had been assailed by campus protesters

After the invasion of Cambodia and the fatal shooting byNational Guardsmen of four students during an anti-warprotest at Kent State University in Ohio in 1970 Dr Hester wrote an impassioned appeal to President Richard Nixonto ldquoconsider the incalculable dangers of an unprecedentedalienation of Americarsquos youthrdquo and to ldquoend the war quicklyrdquoIt was signed by the presidents of 37 colleges and universities

He also lamented the lack of social contact between blacksand whites who had reached comparable educational levels andpresciently warned of the depersonalizing impact of technology

When Bernard retired he was livi ng in a semi-rural villageoutside Solihull Here he enjoyed tennis and bridge with localfriends ndash as well as defeating ever encroaching local planningapplications

Not being content to remain anywhere for long he wasever on the move golfing and skiing holidaying with friendscalling on cousins in Perthshire and relaxing in Porthcawl

During his last days he enjoyed the support of his friend Juliaand was lovingly cared for by his sister Anne He leaves manyhappy memories where his comradeship and fun were alwaysto the fore His humour was understated and subtle he dislikedpomposity and would prick it gently where he could He wasparticularly good with children who would look forward tohis visits for his kindliness wry humour and encouragement

Although he set high standards for himself (and his friends)he was always there to help and guide others generous in givingand in his quiet way would go to great lengths to providesupport without ever asking for it himself He was determinedlyindependent often concealing his inner feelings whilst beingthoughtful and considerate for the feelings of others

He is much missed by many as was evident at his memorialservice and will be long remembered with great affection

When Bernard retired he was livi ng in a semi-rural villageoutside Solihull Here he enjoyed tennis and bridge with localfriends ndash as well as defeating ever encroaching local planningapplications

Not being content to remain anywhere for long he wasever on the move golfing and skiing holidaying with friendscalling on cousins in Perthshire and relaxing in Porthcawl

where with his sister Anne he had developed a shared secondhome overlooking the Bristol Channel here he would playgolf attend rugby matches and enjoy the tranquillity of theblue horizons

During his last days he enjoyed the support of his friend Juliaand was lovingly cared for by his sister Anne He leaves manyhappy memories where his comradeship and fun were alwaysto the fore His humour was understated and subtle he dislikedpomposity and would prick it gently where he could He wasparticularly good with children who would look forward tohis visits for his kindliness wry humour and encouragement

Although he set high standards for himself (and his friends)he was always there to help and guide others generous in givingand in his quiet way would go to great lengths to providesupport without ever asking for it himself He was determinedlyindependent often concealing his inner feelings whilst beingthoughtful and considerate for the feelings of others

He is much missed by many as was evident at his memorialservice and will be long remembered with great affection

Although he set high standards for himself (and his friends)he was always there to help and guide others generous in givingand in his quiet way would go to great lengths to providesupport without ever asking for it himself He was determinedlyindependent often concealing his inner feelings whilst beingthoughtful and considerate for the feelings of others
