The academic year 2008-09should be remembered withgreat pride, even in the annals ofthe College’s very long history.As the reports from the Rectorand Senior Tutor show,academic achievement continuesits upward ascent. And in a yearof financial gloom, the Bursar’sreport is a bright spot of successin adversity, founded on his andthe College’s great prudence,and the unflagging generosity ofits alumni. Lincoln also veryjustly hailed the 50thanniversary of its MCR –unique in Oxford not just for itsage, but also its health and

vigour. The highlight of my year was withoutquestion the gala dinner marking the MCR’s50th. The Hall was full to bursting not just withthe intelligence, good will, and optimism of somany talented young people, but also with a deeplove for the Commonwealth of Lincoln and adelight in sharing it. In short, it was collegialityat its best, the very thing that makes thisuniversity a place like no other. Ascension Daybrought the festive dedication of two new statueson the gateway tower. Created by Montgomery

Visiting Fellow in Sculpture, Stephen Cox, andmade possible through the generosity of alumni,these works make a contribution, increasinglyrare, to the venerable tradition of colleges’patronage of fine public art. News from SeniorMembers in the following pages testifies to thecontinued high achievements in research,teaching, and administrative service of Lincoln’sFellows and other senior academics, whosecontributions enrich the College and the widerworld. Such is true, as well, of the generations ofLincoln students who, after going down, takeLincoln with them into all walks of life, howeverpublic or private. With that in mind, I welcomethe permanent return to The Record of notices ofthose alumni who have died over the past year.These, if anything, are certainly worthy ‘of record’.Notable this year, with a mixture of great prideand sadness, are the several who, at such a youngage, served during World War II. It was thesemen, too, who so often found their way backfrom service to Lincoln through the legendaryoffices of Rector Keith Murray. Recruiting menwith promise at a time when Lincoln was at thepoint of collapse, Murray set a venerable exampleof how the greatest investment an institution likeours can make is in people. �

very strong degree of intimacy, informality andcollegiality. If Lord Florey has a shade he will takepleasure in the extent to which we havestrengthened postgraduate alongsideundergraduate excellence.

The facilities that underpin our student teachingand activities are nowadays matters of continuouscommitment. The Garden Building, whichincludes the Oakeshott Room, and was formerlythe library before we took over All Saints, isdesperately in need of extension andrefurbishment nearly 40 years after itsreconstruction. As recorded in Imprint we have agenerous gift from a Trust that makes it possiblegreatly to improve the opportunities that thebuilding will soon offer. The development of thisproject will be reported on next year.

For some years our strategic planning hasemphasised the importance of the Mitre, abuilding of historical importance given to theCollege in the 1460s, and taken back into Collegeuse for student accommodation in the 1960s.The great majority of our student rooms (now inexcess of 450) are today in good order. Most ofthem have been fully modernised, not least inmatters of sanitation. The Mitre cannot be saidto be in either of those states. We were hoping

Rector’s report

This is the fourth year that the College hasappeared in the top ten of the Norrington Table,on this occasion figuring eighth. As I pointed outlast year it would be very difficult to reach thetop-most success without increasing our sciencecontingent, which in a number of major schoolshas a much higher proportion of first classachievements than in the arts. Nonetheless theconsistency of the College’s performance overfour years has been striking. Our admissionsprogramme, our emphasis on tutorial fellowshipsand our full-time Senior Tutors, formerly DrAnne-Marie Drummond and now Dr LouiseDurning, have all contributed to these results.

The academic strength of our undergraduates isstrongly matched by our commitment topostgraduates. Many of you will recall thatLincoln had the first Middle (or Graduate)Common Room. Its 50th anniversary wascelebrated during the year 2008-09. It happens inthis year too that the number of postgraduates forthe first time equals that of undergraduates. Bothrepresent 300 students, making 600 altogether forthe two common rooms. No other ‘mixed’ collegeof undergraduates and graduates has anything likethis degree of equality and balance. We do notplan to increase these numbers or to change thisbalance in future. Lincoln remains a college with a

that Whitbread, which has the ground and firstfloors of the Mitre for its restaurant and bars,would assist us with the restructuring andmodernising of our rooms so as to permitstudent accommodation elsewhere.

Unfortunately, after much discussion and seriousinterest on their part, they have regretfully decidednot to lease the upper floors of the Mitre. Thisleaves us ‘back in the soup’. We cannot afford tomodernise a building which badly needs veryextensive reconstruction. It is unlikely that we couldraise funds externally when so many other needshave to be met. Nor would we draw funds from ourendowment at a time in our history when themaintenance and improvement of our endowmentbecomes more and more essential to our teachingrequirements. It is likely that we will have for thepresent to refurbish the Mitre at a relatively low andtemporary level. We hope that in a decade’s time wewill have found ways to attempt another majorproject in what remains important to us and indeedto our second year students. We will be consideringthese matters in the current year.

There is, however, a silver lining in the future ofthe Mitre site. We have been waiting for theopportunity to take back the Turl Tavern and itssurrounding site. The lease to Whitbread has

now fallen in and we should be in a position toimprove the student rooms in that area, and toreorganise the Tavern itself for various Collegepurposes. The site was created in the 1920s as a‘quad’ but was taken over by the brewery in the1960s. It is an insalubrious part of the Collegeand gives rise to unpleasantness of various kinds,including criminality (very little, if any of it,connected with our own students). It cries out tobe reintegrated into the College buildings onboth sides of the Turl. In the current year we willbe planning its future.

I mentioned the future of our endowment.Fundraising for colleges of academic excellencethat get relatively less support from governmenthas to cover many things. But the enhancementof the endowment to permit our eventualindependence continues to be one of our keystrategies, with this vision in mind for our 600thanniversary in 2027. I hope in the next Recordthat I will be able to flesh out this crucial advance for the future of Bishop Fleming’s‘collegiolum’, much cherished over the centuries,and (thanks to decades of great achievements)much improved since the 1930s. Long may itcontinue. �

Fellowship


DPhil (2003) under the supervision of formerLincoln British Academy Fellow, Professor FionaStafford (Somerville). From 2004-08 Ben held ateaching fellowship at St John’s.

Radu Coldèa is official Fellow and Tutor inPhysics. He joined Lincoln from a lectureship inPhysics at Bristol, where he had previously beenan EPSRC Advanced Research Fellow. He alsoheld post-doctoral and advanced researchfellowships in the Clarendon Laboratory inOxford and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory(USA) and Rutherford Appleton Laboratory,and a JRF at Linacre (2001-03), after his OxfordDPhil (1997). His first degree is from Babes-Bolyai University in his native Romania. Radu’sresearch focuses on understanding the effects ofquantum fluctuations and correlations inelectronic systems, and he teaches second andthird year Lincoln undergraduates.

Jordan Raff is the new Milstein Professor ofCancer Biology in the Dunn School of Pathology,and Professorial Fellow at Lincoln. ProfessorRaff was an undergraduate in the Department ofBiochemistry, Bristol (1983-86), a PhD studentat Imperial College London (1986-90) and apost-doc at the University of California SanFrancisco (1990-94). He then started his own labat The Gurdon Institute in Cambridge.

2008-09 was a year of more comings than goings.For the first time in recent memory, we werespared the sadness of saying goodbye to anyretiring colleagues. One bittersweet variation onthat theme, though, was the loss of Lincoln’sFellow in Pure Mathematics, Dr ChristofMelcher, who joined us in 2007, but could notturn down the opportunity of a Chair ofMathematics at RWTH Aachen. And KaiMöller, Junior Research Fellow in Law, leaves usto take on a prestigious lectureship in humanrights law at the London School of Economics.We shall miss both, and wish them every success.The swearing-in of new Fellows at the firstGoverning Body in Michaelmas, however, was averitable international festival, with the Latinoath read out in an impressive number of exoticaccents.

Benjamin Brice took-up an official Fellowship inEnglish. He is an expert in Romantic poetry, andhis first book considers the influence ofphilosophical and religious scepticism on thewritings of Samuel Taylor Coleridge (Coleridgeand Scepticism, OUP 2007). Ben took his BA inEnglish at Sheffield, followed by an Oxford

Research and Teaching NewsPeter Atkins published two books thisyear: the fifth edition of Elements ofPhysical Chemistry (OUP and W.H.Freeman) and a new textbook for physicalchemistry, Quanta, Matter, and Change(OUP and W.H. Freeman). He took partin a University web debate, sponsored bythe English Faculty, which proposed theview that ‘Poetry is beautiful, but it isscience that really matters’. He notes thathe ‘lost resoundingly’, but Peter is nostranger to controversy and debate. He isalso no stranger to the internationalscene, having this past year been aninvited lecturer in Switzerland, Germany,Mauritius, the USA, and New Zealand,as well as in various places in the UK.

Susan Brigden writes that this year’s‘apotheosis’ was ‘lecturing in thetapestried Great Hall at HamptonCourt’ as part of the Henry VIIIanniversary celebrations; and that the‘nadir’ was ‘wrestling with the onlinegraduate application system’ (asentiment shared by many). Shecontinues that, ‘As always, theenthusiasms and achievements of theundergraduates give me most pleasure.

I have - mostly - enjoyed being SubRector, and unreservedly enjoyed beingFellow for Alumni Relations. It seemsto have taken me longer to write aboutthe life of Thomas Wyatt than it tookhim to live it, but my book In Kent andChristendom: Thomas Wyatt and hisFriends nears completion. No morevisits to distant archives, but seclusion inmy study.’

Sirichai Chongchitnan was in CERN,Geneva, to promote his work oncosmology at the COSMO’09conference. His work explores how ‘darkenergy’ (which scientists believe makesup about 70% of the universe) could actas a weak gravitational lens that candistort images of distant galaxies. Hisfindings will soon appear in the MonthlyNotices of the Royal Astronomical Society.He also spent a good part of the summergiving the Lincoln College website acomplete makeover. The new websitewill hopefully launch early in 2010.

Nigel Emptage took up the reigns asSenior Dean at Lincoln. Meanwhile hisdepartment (Pharmacology), together

with the Department of Physiology,Anatomy and Genetics, was rated thetop pre-clinical / human biologicalsciences department in the country.Multi-million pound grants and awardsto his research group from the MedicalResearch Council brought thedistinction of top clinical students andsenior research academics. The EPSRCgrant is in collaboration with the Oxforde-science centre; its work is entitled‘Neurohub: The informationenvironment for neuroscientists’. Nigelgave distinguished lectures on synapsesignalling at symposia in Bordeaux,Amsterdam, Geneva, Paris, and Nagoya( Japan).

Barbro Fröding (née Bjorkman) hasserved as Deputy Co-ordinator of theEU-funded ETHENTECH projectcharged with encouraging the ethicalevaluation and public discussion of twoimportant emerging fields of micro- andnano-biotechnology which pose verysignificant ethical and societal issues ofpublic concern: neurological implantsand the potential for human functionalenhancement. She is also ResearchAssociate of the new Oxford Centre forNeuroethics, and Research Fellow at theDivision of Philosophy at The RoyalInstitute of Technology (KTH) in

Perry Gauci’s recent research has beenchannelled through a series ofworkshops held at Lincoln to examinethe regulation of the British economy inthe period 1660-1830. An internationalteam of scholars has gathered to analysehow both state and society coped withthe economic transformation of thecountry into an imperial and industrialpower, and Lincoln has provided theperfect backdrop for a succession ofconvivial and productive meetings. Theirfindings will be published in 2011.

Alexander Gümbel spent the year as aresearch fellow at the Toulouse Schoolof Economics, having also been named aReader in management studies at theSaïd Business School and Lincoln. Hehad two papers accepted for publication:“Sovereign Debt without DefaultPenalties” (with Saïd Business Schoolcolleague Oren Sussman; in Review ofEconomic Studies) and “ReputationalCheap Talk with Misunderstanding”

Stockholm. She has also completedthree research articles for publication,and spoken at conferences in Vienna andNorwich, as well as consulting for theBBC.

Simon Gardner notes that ‘the yearended as it began, with four Firsts inSchools – as well as three Distinctions,including the Vinerian Scholarship (forthe year’s best Distinction acrossOxford) in the BCL. Though theachievement is that of the studentsthemselves rather than of their tutors,such outcomes are nonethelessgratifying. Other mileposts includedputting on, for the first time, anintracurricular moot for the secondyears, which launched several of them onfurther activities of this kind; a visit byLord Walker of Gestingthorpe to speakto the students (and, at his particularrequest, to watch the Turl Street ArtsFestival performance of Grease); thewriting and publication of a secondedition of my Land Law book, so as totake account of new developments infamily property and proprietaryestoppel; recruiting a new tutor, NoamGur, to a junior fellowship (specialisingin Jurisprudence and Tort) generouslyfunded by the Shaw Foundation; areception for alumni at the Bar in




(with Silvia Rossetto; in Games andEconomic Behavior).

David Hill’s research focuses on ‘frettingfatigue’, an insidious mechanism which isa serious cause of metal fatigue cracksstarting, and potentially leads to failuresin many devices. David writes that, ‘Mywork is often applied to gas turbines ( jetengines) and, over the years, we havedone a lot of work on this for Rolls-Royce, as well as looking at absolutefundamentals. I have been involved withRolls-Royce’s research centre in solidmechanics at Oxford since its inception20 years ago, and, as I write this, I amwithin a week of taking over as itsdirector. Some of the work I do withRolls-Royce involves secondment oftheir staff to Oxford, and our worknaturally leads to papers in the openscientific press. We have been veryfortunate, this year, to get a prize for anarticle related to fretting in the I MechE’s principal applied mechanics journal(the Thomas Bernard Hall Prize), co-authored with Daniele Dini of ImperialCollege and Nina Banerjee, still onsecondment from Rolls-Royce and,indeed, a member of the Lincoln MCR.’David is also on the editorial board oftwo of the I Mech E’s journals, thoughhis main editorial work is for one of

Elsevier’s major journals – TheInternational Journal of Solids andStructures – where he has been EuropeanEditor in Chief for the past four years.This is one of a set of internationaljournals set up by Robert Maxwell forthe Pergamon Press in the 1950s, andwhich have become prestigious as world-wide standards. A few minutes with aweb browser will show the kind ofthings they publish.

Sara Hobolt’s monograph Europe inQuestion: Referendums on EuropeanIntegration has been published by OUP(2009). She has also been coordinatinga Europe-wide study of the 2009European Parliament Elections (entitled‘PIREDEU’), funded by the EuropeanCommission. It involves a survey ofcitizens and European parliamentcandidates, a study of media coverageduring the campaigns, and an analysis ofparty manifestos. Fourteen partneruniversities are involved in this project,which is co-ordinated by Oxford and theEuropean University Institute in Italy.In another collaborative project, herwork on religion, Euroscepticism andthe media with scholars fromAmsterdam, Lisbon and NYU willappear as a special issue of the journalWest European Politics. As well as

lecturing across the EU and in America,she has published articles in threeleading political science journals, becamea British Election Study fellow, and wasawarded a large research grant by theEconomic and Social Research Councilto study EU voting. All of this expertisewas unforgettably deployed by Sarawhen she appeared on BBC EuroElection Night with David Dimbleby andNick Robinson in June, and in furthercontributions on Radio 3 (Night Waves)and Danish Radio (DR).

Nick Jelley continued chairing theEnvironment Panel of the Universitywhich has concerned itself, particularly,with improving cycle safety, recycling andwaste handling, raising awareness ofenvironmental issues in colleges, andpressing for better building standards.He has also been involved in organisingundergraduate lectures for Physics and anessay competition (sponsored by npower)on Climate Change and Energy Science.Last November, he gave a talk to theLincoln College London Dining Club atthe Cavalry and Guards Club, Piccadilly,on the ‘Reality of Alternative Energy’.

Brian McElwee has been working onconsequentialist moral theory, thedemandingness of morality and on self-ownership. He has given talks inNewport, Oxford and Manchester, andhad papers accepted for publication inUtilitas, Ratio and Philosophical Studies.

Kai Möller continued to teachConstitutional Law and Jurisprudence(FHS) for Lincoln, and additionallytaught tutorials on the BCL/MJurcourse in Comparative Human Rights.

Claudia Nitschke gave three majorresearch papers, two of them on Schiller,at conferences in Oxford, Berlin and atthe annual German Studies AssociationConference in St Paul, Minnesota.Three pieces of her work areforthcoming in edited collections.Claudia continues to work tirelessly forModern Languages at Lincoln, including

this year as acting head of subject duringDr Nye’s sabbatical.

John Norbury was very pleased this yearto receive a Zilkha grant to help him visita marine biology centre at GriffithUniversity, and a conference in Cairns,both on the Great Barrier Reef inQueensland, Australia. With a marineecology colleague, he prepared twopapers, and a presentation andpublication in the conference, on the roleof plankton in the oceans, especially inrespect of studies of climate change. TheOUP Journal of Plankton Research haspublished the first paper, and used hisnovel mathematical diagrams as the coverillustration - all credited to the College’sgenerous research fund managed by theZilkha Trust. John’s busy summercontinued with completing the 1000pages of proceedings of a conference(‘ECMI2008’) about mathematics andits role in industry that he chaired lastsummer in London; and supervisingLincoln students Anthony Lock (whohas submitted a DPhil thesis) and EmmaWarneford (who has submitted anundergraduate project), both on the roleof moisture in climate dynamics. Ofcourse, his own research continued on abook and papers.

Christopher McCrudden was onsabbatical from Lincoln for two termsfrom January and used the time to dopupillage at Blackstone Chambers inLondon in order to qualify as a barrister,which he completed in July.

The most recent financial year, ending in July2009, has been one of the most challengingduring my tenure as Bursar. As the impact of theglobal credit crisis spread from the financialmarkets to the wider economy, so the College feltthe effects both on its investment portfolio andon the finances of its day-to-day operations. Inthe circumstances, therefore, it is pleasing toreport that the value of the College’s investmentsheld up relatively well over the year; and that theCollege’s operational finances, while falling shortof the targets we had set ourselves, provedreasonably robust. Indeed it was a year in which,coming under some severe external pressures, webenefited from measures taken in earlier years toput the College’s investments and operations on asound footing.

Turning first to the College’s investments, at 31July 2009 the value of the endowment assetsstood at £56.1m, compared with £59.8m 12months previously. The capital value of theCollege’s property assets (which comprise about53% of the total endowment) declined by £2.3m,reflecting the results of the triennial mark-to-market revaluation of all the College’scommercial, residential and agriculturalproperties. The value of the financial assets

portfolio (equities, bonds and diverse otherinvestments) was £1.3m lower than in theprevious year. Taking into account income of£2.8m, donations received into the endowment,and transfers from the endowment to fundoperations and to increase reserves, the totalreturn investment performance of theendowment assets was 4.8%. Over the same 12-month period the capital value of UK equitiesfell by about 15% and that of stocks in America,Europe and Japan by about 20%. The College’sout-performance of the financial markets can beput down to three factors: income generationfrom the commercial property portfolio; anincrease in the capital value of the College’sagricultural holdings (up 17%); and the retentionof a substantial cash position (rising to 21% ofthe financial assets, or 10% of the totalendowment) built up during 2007 and 2008.

Lincoln’s investment portfolio proved relativelyresilient in very adverse circumstances, but theCollege has been neither complacent nor inactivein its investment management. In fact 2009 sawthe culmination of a major review of investmentpolicy, begun in 2007 and which this year resultedin a change both in the investment managersresponsible for the College’s investments infinancial assets, and in the way in which thoseassets will be managed in future. For the pastseveral years the allocation of the College’sinvestments followed the investment policyadopted by the College at its last fundamental

review, in 2001. That policy featured a coreexposure to a balanced portfolio of global equities,bonds and cash under the management ofJPMorgan Asset Management; and a number ofdiversified investments in non-core asset classessuch as private equity, venture capital, hedge fundsand commodities. Following the latest review theassets have now been divided between twomanagers, Cerno LLP and Lord North StreetLtd, each being mandated to invest for capitalgrowth through investment in the best-availablefund vehicles in a variety of asset classes. Thisapproach is practicable for Lincoln because therents from our property investments providenearly all the income we need to fund our ongoingactivities, so the financial investments can befocused on the growth of the endowment over thelong-term. This policy change, the result oflengthy and careful consideration by the FinanceCommittee, the Governing Body and alumni,means that Lincoln’s approach to endowmentmanagement is among the most original andinnovative of any of the Oxford colleges.

There have been other examples of the Collegetaking an innovative stance in the management ofits finances. One is in the work we have done tocreate a new endowment management vehicleintended to build up a capital sum further toenhance the College’s endowment a number ofyears from now: there will be more news on thisbefore the end of 2009. Also Lincoln in 2009became one of the first of the Oxford colleges to

obtain a credit rating from a recognised agency.The AAA rating from Fitch Associates is aconfirmation not only of our financial standingbut also of the integrity of our governance andmanagement processes, and is a prelude to theCollege potentially taking out a commercial loan.The College is actively pursuing more than oneproperty acquisition and/or refurbishmentproject which may well be facilitated by Lincolnborrowing funds from the market-place for thefirst time in its history.

Significant pressures came to bear on theCollege’s ongoing financial management. Twoareas in particular had a negative impact on theCollege’s operational performance in 2008-09.Income from conferences and summer schoolswas sharply reduced as our most importantregular conference reduced its activity for the yearby 40% and all three of our principal summerschools experienced reductions in theirattendance numbers. On the expenditure side ourutilities spending was in 2008-09 approximately60% higher than in the previous year, as priceincreases coincided with the renegotiation ofinter-collegiate supply contracts. In thecircumstances it is pleasing to report that wegenerated a surplus for the seventh year running,of £566k in 2008-09 (£338k in 2007-08).Thankfully the financial disciplines andeconomies we have been putting in place in thelast few years served to cushion us from the worsteffects of the economic climate.

That said, this performance was only achieved atsome personal cost, in that starting in thesummer of 2008 we reduced the numbers ofpeople working in most of the domestic areas ofthe College. For the most part this was achievedby voluntary severance arrangements, but a fewposts suffered redundancy, a difficult and painfulprocess in a small institution that seeks tomaintain a genuine sense of community amongits staff, Fellows and students. Remainingmembers of staff have implemented new efficientwork schedules and are to be congratulated onmaintaining very high standards. Particularmention should go to Lynn Archer and herhousekeeping team, and to Katie Ali and the Hallstaff; but all areas (Kitchen, Deep Hall, Buttery,Lodge, Maintenance and Gardens) have donetheir bit. In addition I have been particularlygrateful for the contribution of Andrew “Beau”Beaumont, who has served as College Stewardfor the past two years: Andrew has recently leftLincoln to become Domestic Bursar at HertfordCollege, and he goes with our very best wishes forhis future career.

As I say, this has not been the easiest of years forthe College’s finances. Our students and theirfamilies will also have felt the chill economicwind and it has therefore been important that theCollege has continued to provide financialsupport for students who need it. In 2008-09Lincoln students received more than £118k inbursaries and awards from hardship funds, both

directly from College funds and via the OxfordOpportunity Bursary scheme which the Collegehelps to finance. It must and shall remain apriority for the College Bursary to provide asmuch support as possible to our undergraduateand graduate students, so that they can continueto register the excellent achievements, in so manyareas of activity, that are applauded elsewhere inThe Record. �

This was the year in which the term ‘creditcrunch’ entered the Oxford English Dictionary,along with ‘custard cream’. As many alumni haveremarked over the course of the last 12 months, ithas not been an entirely favourable climate forfundraising.

However, as a College founded in 1427, we havethe benefit of a long-term outlook, and to someextent we have been able to use this period ofuncertainty to reconsider and develop ourpriorities. We are also very privileged to have amost loyal and devoted alumni community,whose continuing support for the College, andattendance at events, reminds those of us whostudy and work here of the permanence and valueof our Lincoln connections.

The year has seen further elaboration of anoutline ‘Vision’ for the state of the College inadvance of the 600th anniversary of itsfoundation in 1427. This reflects thecommitment on the part of the Rector andFellows to secure the future of the College as anindependent community, dedicated to teachingand research, and with the resources and facilities

to ensure that it does so among the first rank ofOxford colleges. Key to this is the enhancementof the College’s endowment, which will enable usto provide a greater range of scholarships andbursaries for students, as well as ensuring theprovision of tutorial teaching through CollegeFellowships. We have received a number oflegacies this year which will add to theendowment, and help us towards these goals. Wecontinue to develop our range of scholarships andbursaries, at both undergraduate and graduatelevel, with notable support from the BerrowFoundation, the Polonsky Foundation, the CreweCharity, and the Sloane Robinson Foundation, allof which sponsor multiple awards, in addition tothe many awards made possible by individualdonations. These awards enable Lincoln toattract the very best students, and are particularlywelcome at times of economic hardship. Inaddition, over the past year we have receivedsome very welcome support for the provision ofteaching in Law and research in Economics over afixed period.

At Lincoln, with its small but perfectly formedsite in the centre of Oxford, the effective use of

space is essential, particularly so given the rise innumbers of graduate students in the past decade.In recent years, both the kitchen and Deep Hallhave been sensitively renovated and improved.We have for some time been very conscious thatwhile the performing arts flourish at Lincoln, ourfacilities for music, drama, and other collegiateactivities are rather less satisfactory, reflected inthe fact that we have, for example, no musicpractice facilities on the main site, and that theonly real auditorium, the Oakeshott Room, needsupdating. As the Rector commented in the recentImprint, we are very excited to have securedsignificant funding from a Trust to remodel theGarden Building, to provide the improvement infacilities for all our students that we desperatelyneed in this area.

Lincoln also wants to ensure that every studenthas the opportunity to pursue his or her intereststo the highest level, whether in sports,performing arts, or travel, and to provide suitablefacilities and resources. The revitalised AnnualFund enables us to support these activities and tomaintain and improve areas of the College, suchas the boat house and library, without having touse income from the endowment. This year, as in2007-08, we were enormously grateful for thelevel of support from alumni. Once again, 17% ofalumni made a donation to the fund, which is avery creditable figure, reflecting the strongcommitment of our old members. Every gift, ofwhatever size, makes a very real contribution to

the Annual Fund, and this year all new gifts fromthose who have not made a donation in theprevious three years will also attract matchedfunding from the government. The Annual FundWorking Group, chaired by Richard Hardie(1967), ensures that donations are directed toareas of greatest need, as reported in Imprint. Thehighlights this year are the refurbishment of theboat house and membership of the Universitygym for all students.

Our events programme is as strong and well-attended as ever. In addition to the usual array ofanniversary dinners and gaudies, we have held anumber of special events, including a receptionfor barristers in the Garrick Club, kindly hostedby Michael Supperstone QC, and a dinner forlawyers in College. Overseas, we have heldreceptions or dinners in Singapore, Hong Kong,Switzerland, New York, Boston, andWashington. The Murray Society goes fromstrength to strength. Under the leadership of itsnew President, Professor Stephen Gill, we nowhave two meetings each year, one in Oxford andone elsewhere. The 2009 spring meeting was heldat Temple Church, where we were graciouslywelcomed by former Lincoln chaplain RobinGriffith-Jones, and the Lincoln Choir gave awonderful performance in an atmosphericsetting. For our younger alumni, the Lincoln forLife programme is developing a clear identity,with three events per year subsidised by the analumnus donation.

After teaching Latin brieflyin Scotland, he bought Milbourne LodgePreparatory School in Esher in 1948, retiringfrom it in 1999 as the oldest and longest-serving headmaster in Britain. During his longreign, Hale transformed the school’s groundsand buildings, and maintained extremely high –and very traditional – academic standards,having no truck with innovative curricula,teaching methods, inspectors, or even boardsof governors ( “I am a despot,” he admittedcheerfully). He abolished corporal punishment,undertook pastoral care of the boys with theutmost sincerity, and never missed a day’s workin 50 years (which included 14 Latin lessons aweek). He is survived by his third wife, Stassy(née Huss), and three children from his previousmarriages. Adapted from The Daily Telegraph, 20 October2008.

The Revd David JuddCopley (1946)Congregations familiar withmy father’s services wouldrealise that by the fifth “andfinally….!” the sermon reallywas drawing to a close. DavidCopley (1915-2009) was born to be a priest –warm, friendly, caring, slightly eccentric and fullof fun. I wonder if these character traits werealready evident during the years following theend of World War II that he spent studyingModern History at Lincoln College and laterTheology at Wycliffe Hall. Previously he hadspent three years as a prisoner of the Japanesein Sumatra and maybe this experience waswhat really confirmed his vocation, although hehad shown an early childhood interest in thepriesthood, holding many lengthy servicesbefore his long suffering parents and sister inthe family home at Finchley. He was so proudto have been given the opportunity to study atLincoln College and talked about his time spentthere with much warmth and affection right upto his death in February. Before his stroke in2003 he regularly attended meetings of theLincoln and Murray Societies. He loved to revisithis old haunts in Oxford and as he had marriedmy mother, Margaretha, at St. Aldate’s Churchin 1950 and the reception was held at TheRandolph, a nostalgic afternoon tea at the latterwas a regular occurrence. He spent his post-war working life in the Worcester diocese andthen had a long and happy retirement in theWorcestershire village of Hunnington, a formerparish. He has been laid to rest in the graveyardof another former parish, Tardebigge nearBromsgrove, amongst many old parishionersand friends. Ruth Harper

David Cooper (1967)David Cooper came from Derby School toLincoln as Organ Scholar in 1967, havingdeclined an academic scholarship to WorcesterCollege. He greatly valued his organ lessonswith Sir David Lumsden, then at New College,and his academic work with Professor Sir JackWestrup, Dr Olleson, Dr Watson and the youngDavid Wulstan. He graduated in music in 1970,followed by the FRCO diploma in the same year,and then took a PGCE at York where he taughtat St Peter’s School and sang alto in the YorkMinster Choir. From 1973-77 he taught atQueen Elizabeth’s School, Ashbourne beforemoving to Wells Cathedral as assistant organist.In 1983 he became Organist and Master of theChoristers at Blackburn Cathedral and remainedthere until his appointment in 1994 to NorwichCathedral where his tenure was curtailed byillness. More recently, he worked in Hong Kongat the University and Anglican Cathedral.Throughout his career he was valued as anexaminer and, latterly, a moderator for theAssociated Board of The Royal Schools of Music.

As a choir trainer David Cooper was meticulousand inspiring, particularly in the sensitiverendering of the Psalms which he regarded asthe foundation of a cathedral organist’s work.

David was the least egotistical of musicians andoften said that services were not aboutpersonalities as in a concert. He soughtperfection in worship by creating a reverentialatmosphere in which worshippers gained aspiritual understanding beyond words and wasscathing of musical and liturgical infelicitiesfrom clergy and laity. As an organist, David wasa fine accompanist and recitalist and had anunusual talent for improvisation in whichintellectual control of structure, harmony anddevelopment of melodic and rhythmic ideaswas always in evidence. David Cooper wasessentially a private person neither given tosharing his deepest thoughts nor being overtlydemonstrative, but many lives were touched byDavid’s brilliance, his humour and care for thosein his charge. His legacy to us is in hiscompositions, particularly highly distinctivepsalm chants which continue to be sung inseveral cathedrals, and in the continuing workof so many who have learned their craft fromhim. From his father David had acquired hislove of the organ and from his mother theexample of devotion in the Anglo-Catholictradition which informed his life and vocationand enabled him to face with faith andconfidence his final illness. A commemorativeevensong in the College Chapel in Trinity Term2009 celebrated David's love of music and ofLincoln. William Snowley

Lady (Patricia Charlotte) TrendPatricia Charlotte Trend, affectionately known asLady T, was born in 1919, the only daughter ofThe Revd Gilbert Shaw, a barrister who later wasordained as a priest and worked in Berkshire,and of Sylvia Shaw. Patricia went to St. Swithun’sSchool, Winchester, and read Mathematics at St Andrew’s University. After a spell as a civilservant in the Treasury, where she first metBurke St. John Trend, whom she married in1949, she taught Mathematics at BlackheathHigh School. She had a considerable reputationas a statistician and her incisive intellect wasclear to all who talked to her. Always a lady ofindependent views, a story from her CivilService days relates that once, when riding on abus with Burke, passing the Houses ofParliament and the statue of Oliver Cromwell,she asked Burke to excuse her while sheextended her tongue towards Cromwell.

On settling into the Rector’s Lodgings at Lincolnin 1973, Lady T quickly got to know the entireCollege community. At that time the College wasstill ‘unmixed’: the decisions to admit women tothe Fellowship and as junior members came laterin the Trend Rectorship. Traditionally Fellows’wives entertained undergraduates at home forSchools Dinners but themselves came to Collegedinners only on Guest Nights preceding eachterm. On Chapter Days, Lady T arranged a parallelentertainment for the Wives in the Lodgings,while their husbands dined in Hall. Segregationended about 10.30 pm, as little groups of Fellowsclimbed the stairs to the welcoming atmospherein the first-floor sitting room of the Lodgings.Later, Lady T confessed that at early suchgatherings she was unsure which wife belongedwith which Fellow! She was a natural hostess,

with a dry sense of humour and a gift for puttingher guests at their ease. The three Margarets(Kenning, Langford, Sidebottom) were treated asa slightly unruly bunch, not to be seatedtogether, and who should be kept out of troubleby being given little tasks.

As well as supporting Burke in College andUniversity activities, Lady T did much work forcharities, taking on the chairmanship of the localcancer fundraising group, for which shemotivated an army of helpers, including theWives. Lincoln was very sorry to lose her whenthe time came for Burke to retire from theRectorship in 1983. We were delighted that theymaintained a close relationship with the College,which Patricia continued after Burke’s death in1987. She travelled to Oxford on the coach onmany occasions to share in special events andexchanged news by Christmas cards. Her homein Rochester Row was always a welcominghaven for Lincoln visitors. Her ‘retirement’ inLondon was very active. She was a member ofthe Executive Committee of Friends of theElderly (FotE) from 1974, its Chairman from 1984-90 and led a vigorous fundraising campaign in1999. She was an enthusiastic guide atWestminster Abbey. She walked everywhere inLondon and said that her life had beentransformed by her late discovery of trainers. Thisenergetic, no-nonsense approach to life wasreflected by her wardrobe for overseas trips,which fitted into one remarkably small suitcase.

Patricia Trend died on 25 September 2008 aged89. Her life was celebrated in a MemorialService at the Abbey. She was indeed a greatlady, who inspired deep affection.Margaret Kenning and Margaret Sidebottom

Edward Thomas recounts in his extendednostalgic poem Oxford, that at Oxford in days fargone ‘Chapel at six o’clock and a lecture at 7pmwas a common doom.’ He is reminiscing aboutthe days when Chapel would have been acompulsory daily office for students and donsalike. In these more ‘enlightened’ days, Chapel is aweekly feast and, thanks to a change in timing,supper follows at 7.30pm. This may seem a trivialthing to note, but it has enabled more students toattend Chapel, leaving them time for worship aswell as a hearty Lincoln dinner.

It is cheering that, despite all that the mediapresents about secularisation and the demise ofthe Church, many college chapels in Oxford stillget a good mix of fellows, postgraduates andundergraduates on Sunday evenings. Lincoln isnot an exception. People may come for a myriadof reasons and motivations (as they do tochurch), but it is heartily encouraging to seechapels regularly attracting young people for atime of quiet, thought or contemplation duringthe traditional service of Choral Evensong.

Such thought and contemplation have beennourished and stimulated by the many preacherswho have come to us in this year past. Threeparticularly have left their mark. Nicolas

O’Sullivan, a former Dominican Friar and nowPrincipal at a Havelock Academy in Grimsby, leda devotional talk about the twin educationalmission of Lincoln and his Academy, which is inone of the most deprived wards in the country.Stark and salutary, it left one with an enormoussense of the privileges we enjoy at Lincoln, butmore importantly the possibility for enablingpeople who experience such a paucity ofopportunity to enjoy Lincoln’s educational power.The Bishop of Norwich preached to Chapel inMichaelmas about God’s ability to transcendmundanity and the distractions of modernity.Archbishop Malkhaz Songulashvili is worthy ofrecall. Archbishop of the Baptist Church inGeorgia, he preached to us just weeks after hiscountry had been invaded by Russia after a crisisin South Ossetia. An incredible and propheticman, Malkhaz spoke of his church’s work withthe disenfranchised – orphans, the poor and alsocriminals – as well as their work with Chechenrefugees, a work necessarily crossing the bordersand boundaries of faith divisions.

The choir journeyed to Rome, on their firstEuropean tour for some four years. They sang inSanta Maria Maggiore on the Feast of StThomas, St Peter’s Basilica and St John Lateran,not to mention a service of Choral Evensong in

Chapel

G E Street’s fine Anglican Church of All Saints’.They received great plaudits, with the Maestro ofSt Peter’s extending a warm invitation for thechoir to return. Hearing them sing so very well inthese buildings of profound historical andreligious importance was personally quitemoving. This tour would not have been possiblewithout the generosity of our stalwart supporters,Bob Blake and David Cohen. We extend our verywarm thanks to and for them for thisextraordinary opportunity.

The choir also performed a short concert at theTemple Church for the Murray Society: theirsinging and the rich accoustic made for amemorable performance, with a particularly finerendering of Vaughan Williams’ setting of‘Easter’ by George Herbert.

We must not omit their singing at the installationof Stephen Cox’s sculptures, which now adornthe front elevation of College, immediately abovethe main gate. It was a fine day, with a processionled by the Steward of Common Room, DrMcCullough as thurifier, the choir singing inprocession, with the Rector and the Visitor, (theBishop of Lincoln) at the end. Mention should bemade of the sensitivity, charm and gravitas withwhich the Bishop blessed these works of art. Itwas a day of solemnity and delight, two adjectivesthat don’t often find themselves side-by-side onsuch occasions.

The ebb and flow never ends, however, and wefind ourselves once again bidding farewell tofriends who have given much to Chapel life.Among the choir, we give thanks for and offer ourwarmest wishes to George Artley, ShizuyoOkada and Avi Feller. Jonathan Turner, who hasgiven much to the choir and to Chapel, leadingthem with devotion, care and a never failingcommitment, leaves us for Southwell Minster. Heis to take up the organ scholarship there, forwhich we wish him very well. We have also lostLaura Gallimore, Ashley Walters and WillHarbord as Chapel Clerks. They have all givencareful and great service and we wish them wellas they move on.

Next year William Thomas takes over as SeniorOrgan Scholar and we are delighted that ThomasDaggett, already a Choral Scholar, will be takingup the Junior Organ Scholarship.

For all that has been and for all that has yet to be,may thanks be given. Deo Gratias. �

The year has passed smoothly and relativelyuneventfully in the College Library but it has justended with a bang! In this case, a literal one inthe form of a bolt of lightning that directly hitthe steeple of All Saints’ Church at lunchtime on25 August. Thankfully, the lightning conductor,which had been discovered unconnected a fewweeks earlier, was in full working order anddamage was limited to the alarm system, forwhich new parts have since been ordered. It was amighty loud thunderclap for all those in thevicinity!

The College Library continues to be well used byLincoln students, both for its books and as aplace to study. The pressure on readers’ seats isespecially keen during Trinity Term, when placesat the lecterns are allocated to finalists by ballot.The balloted seats are reserved for the sole use ofa select lucky few and this reduces the number ofseats left for all other members of College. Thisyear we added a few extra tables and chairs on atemporary basis during Trinity Term to ease thissituation. They were in constant use throughoutthe term, mainly by finalists in the earlier weeksand then followed swiftly by the first-year

students taking Prelims and Mods in the latterweeks of term.

Graduate students were not overlooked, anddiscussions took place between representatives ofthe JCR, the MCR and the Library staff todiscuss how the Library could ensure that placeswere available for any graduates in Trinity Term.Many graduate students are studying taughtMasters courses and also take exams duringTrinity Term or shortly afterwards. We agreed topilot a scheme whereby two tables in the upperreading room were designated as priority seatingfor graduate students. The tables were notrestricted to use by graduates only and in factwere used by undergraduates for the majority ofthe term. Although few graduates chose to makeuse of their priority places this summer, everyonehas agreed that it would be worth running thescheme in Trinity 2010 to see if it is a useful wayfor graduates to be sure of a library desk.

It is now three years since a book security systemwas installed in the College Library. It has had adramatic impact on reducing the number ofbooks lost each year. At the stock-check carried

Library report 2008-09

Library



Library

out this summer, the number of books recordedas missing from stock was the lowest since I canremember: only 27 were missing this summer,compared to average losses of around 150 in thesummers before the book security system wasintroduced. In addition to reducing long-termlosses, I have noticed a substantial reduction inthe loss of books over the short-term. Thistranslates into a huge improvement in thereliability of finding books on the shelves duringterm times. The threat of being caught by thesecurity system seems to have made many thinktwice before removing a book without signing forit, albeit with the honest intention of returning itearly the next day. Overall this amounts to a realimprovement in library service.

Plans for improving the heating and lighting inthe Library are still under discussion. TheLibrary is expected to close for the entire LongVacation of 2011 to allow time for the work totake place. While the project will inevitably bedisruptive to normal library activity and willdirectly affect the two summer schools thatregularly use the Library, it is anticipated thatreaders will enjoy studying in Lincoln CollegeLibrary even more, once the work is complete, andthe environmental conditions have improved. �

The CollegeArchives 2008-09

The past 12 months can lay reasonable claim tobeing the most important in the history of theCollege archive. As reported in the last Record,discussions had been underway to find a new siteto house the College’s scattered collections, and inHilary term the basement in the EPA centre atMuseum Road was formally designated as thenew home for the archive. This decision wasexcellent news for the archive, providing asubstantial space to unify six separate storesaround the main College site, and to ease apressing need for more storage space.

Events have moved quickly since the decision wasmade. Over the summer the space was cleared,and by September rolling stacks had beeninstalled to maximise the utility of the basement.Humidifiers and other environmental controlshave been installed, and a fire-compressionsystem has been chosen to ensure maximumsecurity for the records. The new space alsoprovides superior facilities for visitors to thearchive. In every way the new site offers greatimprovements for the care and accessibility of theCollege’s records.

There is still much work ahead, in particular thetransferral of records from their old sites. Thisprocess will take place over the next 12 months,and during that time it will be necessary to closethe archive. This temporary inconvenience,however, will ultimately produce a much-enhanced College facility, and ensure the futureof the archive for many generations to come. �

Schools liaisonofficer’s report

From September 2008 to August 2009 Ihave been involved in 49 different eventson behalf of Lincoln College. Theseinclude visits to individual schools acrossthe country, visits to Lincoln fromschools, regional conferences inLincolnshire, teachers’ events andinterview workshops.

Lincoln’s work with pre-16 students hasexpanded considerably this year as theimportance of encouraging students toconsider Oxford before they sit publicexams becomes clear. I regularly talk to14-16 year olds about the importance ofGCSEs and about appropriate A-levelchoices. I also run ‘aspiration days’ whichgive pupils a chance to visit Lincoln andget a taste of university life.

This year the Lincolnshire AccessInitiative celebrates its 10th anniversary.Lincoln continues to organise andparticipate in three sixth- formconferences in the region each year. Inaddition, I have made several visits to

schools in the region, often to talk toGCSE pupils as well as sixth formers.Each year our work expands to newschools, and I am particularly pleasedthat this year we have begun to workwith the Havelock Academy in Grimsby.In June the College hosted our biennialNorth Lincolnshire Summer School, for40 Year 10 pupils from schools aroundScunthorpe. The event was deemed tobe a big success by the pupils, and we arehopeful that we will see someapplications from them in the comingyears.

In March Lincoln hosted a conference forscience teachers jointly with ExeterCollege. The conference was wellattended, with teachers from 35 differentschools attending. This has become anannual event for both colleges; nextMarch it will focus on arts subjects.Other plans for next year include acontinuation of the Oxbridgeconferences, and a renewed effort tomake contact with every school inLincolnshire. I will also continue withthe programme of visits to and fromschools around the country; and alreadyhave several visits and events organisedfor Michaelmas Term. �

Senior Tutor’s Report

The Choir topped off a highly successfulyear with a magical tour of Rome, singing ina number of the great basilicas. Charitableand community work also continue to beimportant at Lincoln. As Senior Tutor Iam particularly struck by the commitmentof the JCR to the encouragement of futuregenerations of Lincoln students. It isremarkable to see the time and energy theydevote to looking after interviewees inDecember, to working with Lincolnshireschoolchildren, both in the county and onvisits here, and to leading innumerable toursof the College on the Summer Open Days.The friendliness and good humour of thestudents leaves an indelible impressionupon the memories of the young visitorswho meet them. �

Undergraduatestudies & activities

This has been a year of exceptionalacademic achievement in the Schools. Asthe Rector reports, for the fourth yearrunning Lincoln has been placed in the topten of all colleges for its performance inFinal Honours Schools. This year,however, not only were 25 firsts awardedto our members, but the overall score,based on the total score of all degreesawarded, was our highest ever, a resultwhich indicates impressive strength indepth. Particularly noteworthy were ourtwo firsts in Classical Archaeology andAncient History – the only firsts awardedthis year in CAAH – and the groupings offirsts in Mathematics, Law, Medicine,English and Modern Languages. You cansee the full breakdown of results andprize-winners on page 54. This impressiveperformance is a tribute both to the hardwork and determination of all studentsand to the commitment and expertise oftheir Tutors.

A review of the work of the currentstudents gives justifiable hope forcontinued academic success of this kind.

This year over 50 Scholarships andExhibitions were awarded to those studentswho had achieved at the highest level inMods/Prelims or who had sustained suchpromise in subsequent years. One of thehighlights of each Hilary Term is the AwardHolders Dinner, where these students andtheir tutors come together in Hall for aconvivial evening, in recognition of theachievement and promise of the juniormembers. Amongst the numerous dinersthis year were the very first Peter AtkinsScholars. These new scholarships have beenfunded from the donations of his friendsand former pupils and are awarded to theyear’s outstanding students in Chemistry.This generous provision has been matchedby Oxford University Press who havepromised from this year henceforth toprovide each Chemistry fresher at Lincolnwith a set of textbooks. Thus the legacy ofProfessor Atkins continues for futuregenerations of students.

Of course, Lincoln undergraduatescontinue to be involved in an impressiverange of extra-curricular activities. Athleticachievements, in sports familiar or exotic,are chronicled in detail in the latest issue ofImprint. The Turl Street Arts Festival inHilary provided musical and artisticdelights of all kinds, not least thespectacular production of Grease in Hall.

Senior Tutor’s Report

Graduate studies & activities

This year we celebrated the MCR’s 50thanniversary, but in the course of it anotherimportant milestone in the history of thecommon room was reached. Over the lastfew years the College has been movingdeliberately towards the goal of achievingequal numbers of resident graduate andundergraduate members. During 2008-09that moment of balance was reached, withjust over 300 enrolled members in eachCommon Room. This balance ofmembership is unique amongst theOxford colleges and the strong graduatepresence in every aspect of College lifegives to Lincoln a very special character.Future admissions policy will aim tosustain this balance for the foreseeablefuture.

Financial support for graduate study is notalways easily available and it is thanks tothe generosity of many benefactors thatthe College is able to offer support tomany of these exceptional students. Theremarkable roster of the BerrowFoundation, Polonsky Foundation, SloaneRobinson Foundation Scholarships, the

Keith Murray Senior Scholarship, theCrewe Graduate Awards and the JermynBrookes, Sewards-Shaw, and Supperstoneawards is unmatched by any other collegein Oxford. Another award was added tothese this year with the award for the firsttime of the Hartley Bursary, established toprovide support to a UK student engagedin study in the Humanities. The firstrecipient of the Hartley Bursary is adoctoral candidate in Classical Art andArchaeology. The College’s historic linkwith the Dunn School of Pathology wasfurther strengthened by the establishmentof five Wellcome Trust doctoral trainingawards in immunology for studentsworking with Professor Gull. These awardswill be made year-on-year and will buildeventually to a notable cohort.

The academic achievements of the MCRare a source of great pride and you can seethe complete list of awards made in 2008-09 on page 56. It is encouraging to see somany distinctions awarded to Lincolnmembers taking taught postgraduatecourses. It is especially pleasing to see thatour Supperstone Scholar took threeUniversity prizes in the BCL exams thisyear, including the Human Rights prize –which he shared with another Lincolnstudent – and the Vinerian Scholarshipawarded to the top BCL student overall.

We send our congratulations to him and toall students who completed their courses orsuccessfully defended their theses in 2008-09.

The vitality of the MCR is evident in itsfull calendar of cultural, social andintellectual events. The Lord FloreySeminars, in which members givepresentations on their ongoing research,are partnered by the joint SCR-MCRConversazione. Our Conversazionespeakers this year included the currentSewards -Shaw Scholar, ProfessorStephen Gill, and our Visiting Fellow inSculpture, Mr Stephen Cox.

As is appropriate in a college where eachhas equal eminence, the two juniorcommon rooms collaborate on manysports teams and cultural activities. MCRrepresentatives sit on the managementcommittee of the Turl Street Arts Festivaland on the JCR Ball Committee, and, inanother historic change introduced thisyear, both Presidents now attend meetingsof the Governing Body of College asrepresentatives of their constituencies. �

“The academic strength of our undergraduates is strongly

matched by our commitment to postgraduates. Many of you

will recall that Lincoln had the first Middle (or Graduate)

Common Room. Its 50th anniversary was celebrated during

the year 2008-09. It happens in this year too that the number

of postgraduates for the first time equals that of

undergraduates. Both represent 300 students, making 600

altogether for the two common rooms. No other ‘mixed’ college

of undergraduates and graduates has anything like this degree

of equality and balance.”
