REPO T OF THE THI TY-THIR ANNUAL MEETING OF SENIOR MEMBERS HE meeting was held in the Reading Room on Saturday, 21 June 1958. Twenty Senior Members were present. The Chairman called on the T meeting to stand in memory of six former members of the College who had died during the year. In her statement the Chairman said that the College had suffered a great loss by the death of Dr. Ady, and paid a tribute to her as a distinguished scholar and churchwoman. Dr. Ady had left the College a very generous legacy of ÂŁ1o,000 for the building of a chapel or for endowing a chaplaincy, and also a first selection from her library and some pictures. Miss Bickley was retiring in the summer after 26 years with the College, but we should continue to see her and enjoy her company since she was to be in Oxford during term. Mrs. Roaf, who holds a University Lecturership and a part-time Lecturership at Somerville College, had been appointed Martinengo Cesaresco Lecturer in Italian. Another new appointment was that of Miss Margaret Louise Treves to a joint Lecturership in Law with Somerville. The Chairman offered our congratulations to the Mistress of Girton College who had received an Honorary D.Sc. from Leeds University. College postgraduate awards and examination results were reported. College events during the year had included a joint Summer Ball with Hertford which had been very successful. The General Appeal to be made by the women's colleges was to be postponed in view of the number of academic appeals which were being made at the present time. The Chairman reported on the Building Fund Appeal and described the progress of the building as spectacular. It would certainly be finished by the beginning of the next term. Miss Lemon was re-elected as Editor of the Chronicle.

GAUDY, i96o THERE will be no Gaudy in 1959. The next Gaudy will be in 196o.

THE PRINCIPAL'S EPORT HE College has suffered a great loss by the death of Viscount Cecil of Chelwood, Visitor of the College since 1926. Lord Cecil opened the T Mary Gray Allen Wing in 1928 and was present at the Jubilee Celebrations in 1936. Under its Statutes, the College has the privilege of electing its own Visitor from among persons who hold, or have held, high judicial or ecclesiastical office or who are Privy Councillors. In exercise of this right the Governing

Body of the College has elected Sir Oliver Franks as Visitor. The death of Dr. Cecilia Ady on 27 March 1958 was briefly reported in last year's Chronicle. Her connexion with the College was a long and very distinguished one. She was successively Scholar (1900-3), Tutor in History (1909-23), Research Fellow (1929-50), and Honorary Fellow (1950-8). She was also a valued member of the Council in various capacities from 1913 to 1951 and Secretary of the Association of Senior Members from 1932 to 1955. Dr. Ady was thus well known to nearly all generations of Senior Members and is greatly missed. Dr. Ady's very generous legacies to the College are detailed elsewhere in the Chronicle. The implementation of the munificent legacy for the building of a chapel or the endowment of a chaplaincy involves some problems and is still under discussion by the Governing Body. Miss Bickley retired from her College appointment last summer. She was first appointed as Martinengo Cesaresco Lecturer in Italian in 1932; later she was appointed, first as Assistant Tutor and afterwards Tutor in Modern Languages and she was elected to an Official Fellowship in 1937. Her former pupils will remember her not only as a stimulating teacher but also for her unfailing interest in their social as well as their intellectual pursuits. Miss Bickley will divide her time between Oxford and Italy. There have been two elections to Fellowships: the Mistress of Girton College (Miss M. L. Cartwright, 1919-23) has been elected to an Honorary Fellowship in recognition of her distinguished work in mathematics, and Miss Daniel, Tutor in French, has been elected to an Official Fellowship. Two part-time lecturers have been appointed: Mrs. Roaf, Somerville College, has been appointed Martinengo Cesaresco Lecturer in Italian and Miss Treves, St. Anne's College, has been appointed Lecturer in Jurisprudence. Mrs. Roaf, who obtained a First Class in Modern Languages (Italian and French) in 1941, already holds a University Lecturership in Italian and is also a lecturer of Somerville College, but the number of undergraduates in the University reading Italian is small and the number of St. Hugh's undergraduates doing so does not justify more than a part-time appointment. Miss Treves was a Scholar of St. Anne's College and obtained a First Class in Jurisprudence in 1956, a Second Class in the B.C.L. in the following year, and held a Henry Fellowship at the Harvard Law School in 1957-8. Miss Treves is also Lecturer in Jurisprudence at Somerville College. Miss Gray was absent on sabbatical leave during Trinity Term and the long vacation and spent the time travelling and working in Turkey and Greece. Miss Sweeting has leave of absence for the year 1958-9 while she holds a Visiting Fellowship at the National University of Australia at Canberra. During her absence Miss Kenworthy of St. Hilda's College has a temporary appointment as Acting Tutor in Geography. Miss Lunt has been awarded a Junior Agricultural Research Fellowship by the Agricultural Research Council. Miss Marcia Rice, who died on 22 April 1958, was a student of St. Hugh's Hall, as it then was, from 1894 to 1898 when she obtained a First Class in English. She was Headmistress of the School of St. Mary and St. Anne, Abbots Bromley, from 1901 to 1931. After her retirement she lived in Oxford and continued for many years to attend functions for Senior Members at St. Hugh's. Mrs. Gower Gardner, who died on 1 November 1958, read Mathematics at Girton College and was placed in the First Class in the

Mathematical Tripos. She was formerly Head Mistress of the King's School, Warwick. It was not until after her marriage, when she came to live in Oxford, that her connexion with St. Hugh's began. She held an appointment as Tutor to St. Hugh's undergraduates reading Mathematics from 1923 to 1925 but she had directed their studies without holding a definite appointment for some years before 1923. She was also a member of Council for the year 1924-5. She continued to have a lively interest in the College and all those connected with it and was a most generous friend to it. Among honours awarded to, and appointments of, Senior Members are: the Mistress of Girton College, Honorary D.Sc., Leeds University; Mrs. Abbot (E. M. Tostevin 1926-9), Third Secretary, H.M. Treasury; Miss M. K. James (1935-8), Vice-Principal, Goldsmiths' College, University of London; Miss M. Donaldson (1935-8), Tutor in Romano-Dutch Law to the Council of Legal Education and the first woman to be appointed by the Council to its teaching staff; Miss G. M. B. Williams (1924-7), Walter Hines Page Scholarship awarded by the English Speaking Union for travel in the United States. The following have been appointed to Headmistress-ships: Miss K. E. Hardy (1935-8), Lowther College, North Wales; Miss E. K. Wallen (1933-6), Queen Victoria High School, Stockton-on-Tees; Miss G. H. Weston (1943-7), Royal Masonic School for Girls, Rickmansworth. The main event of the year has been the completion of the first instalment of the College's building scheme. The two wings of Main Building have been extended twenty-five feet southward so as to enlarge the dining-hall in the east wing and provide twelve additional undergraduate rooms in the west wing. The contractors took over on I March and used the dry weather in March and April to such advantage that they were several weeks ahead of schedule before the wet summer began to slow up the work. The building, apart from some electrical installation, was completed by 15 September, the date laid down in the contract. The extensions are undoubtedly successful. Great care has been taken to match the building materials, and the stone from the copings of the ends of the wings has been re-used as far as possible. When the bricks and tiles have had time to weather, the extensions should become indistinguishable from the older parts of the wings and even now they harmonize to a surprising extent. The lengthening of the wings has improved the external proportions of the building as viewed from the garden. Inside, the enlarged hall is most successful. Its proportions are improved and it has been redecorated throughout in pale grey and duck-egg green. It still remains to provide curtains for the windows. The undergraduate rooms are plentifully provided with built-in cupboards. They are heated by radiators from the existing central-heating system and by electric fires. The opportunity has been taken to wire the whole of the west wing for electric heating, but the other rooms in the wing have not yet been supplied with electric fires and still retain their open grates for coal fires. Two extra bathrooms have been provided. The extension of the wings has necessitated alterations in the two ends of the terrace, although the whole central portion of the terrace between the wings has remained undisturbed. The reconstruction is now in progress and should be completed by the time Senior Members read this report. The flagged pathway and the low containing wall are being carried round the south fronts of the wings. The work of rebuilding the wall was begun before Christmas but was discontinued during the prolonged frost in January and

February. It has now been resumed. The part of the lawn taken up to allow for a roadway for builders' lorries will be partly returfed and partly sown with grass seed in the spring. Wall-shrubs and climbing plants will be planted against the extensions and low-growing shrubs in the borders under them. The lengthening of the dining-hall necessitated the lengthening of the Mordan Hall above it, but the inside of this extension has not yet been finished; the roof has not been ceiled nor the walls plastered or decorated. A temporary partition divides the extension from the old part of the hall which can still be used. The Association will be glad to know that about two-thirds of the total cost of the extensions is covered by the donations and covenants made in response to the Appeal to Senior Members sent out in February 1955. The Appeal Fund will remain open and further contributions to it will be most welcome. In the Report in last year's Chronicle, it was stated that the five women's colleges in Oxford were considering the launching of a joint public appeal. In view of the many appeals for university and other educational purposes which have been made recently, it has been decided to postpone the appeal for the Oxford women's colleges for the time being. The College will, nevertheless, continue working out its plans for joining up the St. Margaret's Road houses to which reference was made at the Gaudy in 1957. As was announced at the Annual Meeting on 21 June 1958, the Elizabeth Wordsworth Studentship has been awarded to Miss N. K. Sandars, (1951-3). Miss Sandars is an archaeologist of distinction who is becoming well known on the Continent. She will be working on the relations between Europe and the Near East in the Second and early First Millennium B.c. The Yates Theological Scholar is Miss A. Rashleigh who holds a London Classical degree and who came up to St. Hugh's in 1957 to read Classical Honour Moderations in which she obtained a Second Class last March. She is now reading for the Final Honour School of Theology. The Rawnsley Studentship was not awarded for 1958-9 and is being advertised for 1959-60. The Moberly Senior Scholarship was awarded to Miss R. J. Jones who has also been awarded a State Studentship and who is working for the degree of B.Litt. in the field of Medieval English Literature. Former holders of College postgraduate awards are to be congratulated on the following appointments: Miss G. M. Matthews (Elizabeth Wordsworth Student 1956-8), Lecturer in Philosophy at the University College of North Wales, Bangor; Miss J. A. Chapman (Moberly Scholar 1955), Assistant Lecturer in Spanish at Westfield College; Miss J. E. Beardwood (Mary Gray Allen Senior Scholar 19568), Junior British Scholarship given by the British Federation of University Women. A number of young graduates who went down in 1957 or 1958 have posts this year as Senior Scholars or Graduate Assistants at various American universities. Miss S. M. C. Cameron has been awarded a Harmsworth Law Scholarship. In 1957-8 the number of undergraduates in residence was 181 of whom 177 were reading for the Final Honour Schools and 4 were graduates of other universities reading for research degrees. There were also 22 graduates in residence reading for research degrees or post-graduate diplomas. It was disappointing that there were no First Classes in Finals. Of the 49 candidates sitting for Final Honour Schools, 38 obtained Second Classes, to obtained Third Classes, and 1 a Fourth Class. In Honour Moderations there were 3 I0

First Classes: Fiona McKenzie (Jubilee Scholar) in Classical Honour Moderations and Sheila Oates (Jubilee Scholar) and Maureen Houghton in Mathematical Honour Moderations. Miss Houghton has been elected an Honorary Scholar. Celia Derry was awarded the Henry Oliver Beckit Memorial Prize for her regional description for the Final Honour School of Geography. Rachel Thompson was successful in the Administrative Civil Service Competition. E. S. P. March 1959

J.C.R. REPO T rrms year the J.C.R. has been particularly interested to see the results of

IL the new building. Both the new rooms and the additional bathroom accommodation in Main Building have been greatly appreciated by the inhabitants. As a result of the extension of the dining-hall, those who live in houses now come in to College for all meals: the increase in numbers is especially noticeable at breakfast: and the early dinner has been replaced by the early table, the object of a certain amount of contention on Bach Choir nights and Saturdays. There have as yet, however, been no casualties. When not required by the S.C.R., the new Little High Table seats twelve undergraduates at dinner, usually including the President and Vice-President: this relieves the crush in the body of the dining-hall and gives the isolated dozen a spurious air of exclusiveness. The Mordan Hall is temporarily curtailed by a partition, but is still used for piano practice; J.C.R. meetings are at present held in the J.C.R. These meetings have as a rule followed the usual line of J.C.R. meetings, but the year has not been uneventful. We were one of the first colleges in Oxford to take action on the proposed reintroduction of the Separate Universities Bill: at a crowded extraordinary meeting, an overwhelming majority 16

expressed regret for the South African Government's action and empowered the President to write to the South African High Commissioner and the Prime Minister of South Africa in protest and to the Vice-Chancellors of the Universities of Capetown and Witwatersrand and the National Union of South African Students to express the J.C.R.'s support for them in their opposition to the Bill. &O was raised by voluntary contributions and sent to the NonEuropean Students Fund at Capetown University and the African Medical Scholarship Trust Fund at Witwatersrand. As far as internal affairs are concerned, there have been no revolutionary changes. The Constitution has been revised and some anomalies removed: the President is no longer an ex-officio member of the Chapel Committee, though one of the officers still serves on it, and the standing orders for elections have been clarified. Two pictures have been boughtâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;'Houses at Arbroath', by Douglas Swan, and a Chagall lithograph: some have also been borrowed and are being hired out for hanging in rooms. The joint Summer Dance with Hertford was a success in all respects, making a profit of L4; we hope that this summer's joint dance will be at least as successful. At the first St. Hugh's Night without a Freshers' Entertainment the S.C.R. and J.C.R. mixed as freely over coffee in the J.C.R. as the lack of space would permit. The Carol Service and the informal carol singing in the Mordan Hall were both well attended and enjoyed. Also in Michaelmas Term, Miss Panter visited the College to explain the work of St. Margaret's House. The Dramatic Society has been very active this year. Its performance of The Mask of Orpheus, by Philip Steer, was placed second in O.U.D.S. Cuppers, and it came third in Radio Cuppers this term with Louis MacNeice's The Nosebag. Playreadings with other colleges have also been held. The Erinyeans continue to debate vigorously in St. Hugh's, Pembroke, and elsewhere. Various members of the J.C.R. have been active in the University. Angela French took an important part in the E.T.C. one-night stand of a new play, Char by Kenneth Spurling; Mary Borg was one of the mob in the O.U.D.S. Coriolanus. Mary Henkel has succeeded Elizabeth Franklin as secretary of O.U.C.U. and Jane Bott was this term's secretary of Cosmos. Rita DensonDart is the present editor of Right Angle, while Hope Edwards was secretary of a conference which was held in Oxford in December as part of the U.N.E.S.C.O. Eastâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;West Major Project and partly accommodated in St. Hugh's. We congratulate Celia Derry on being awarded the Beckit Memorial Prize for Geography, and Elizabeth Elves and Maureen Houghton on gaining Gladstone Travelling Scholarships. Maureen, furthermore, has been made an Honorary Scholar of the College for having gained one of the College's two Firsts in Mathematical Honour Moderations, the other being Sheila Oates. We were sorry to hear of the death of Dr. Ady. Very few of us had actually been taught by her, but her books were known to a far wider circle and she was a familiar figure to the whole College, who looked on her as a living link with St. Hugh's struggling days in the past.

GAMES EPORT, 1958-9 T. HUGH'S has taken an active part in most sports this year, even the

Qmore unusual. A St. Hugh's crew entered for Sailing Cuppers, but was knocked out in the first round. In swimming, Jane Prosser has joined

Elizabeth Smith as a blue, but there is no College team; Jane is secretary of the University club. Gillian Miles and Susan Burdett are both old cricket blues, Gillian being this year's captain; Joan Dukes gained her blue last summer. St. Hugh's is well represented in tennis. The College team reached the final of Cuppers, but was beaten by St. Hilda's. Four members of the College, are now tennis blues: Pat Della Porta and Mary Henkel, last year's secretary of the club, and two new blues, Maureen Houghton and Diana Webb, next term's captain and secretary respectively. In table tennis, we were again beaten in the final, this time by Somerville. Margaret Johnston is treasurer of the University club, and Maureen Houghton also plays for the University. We have two half-blues in badminton—Joy Higgins, former president of the University club, and Mary Scruton, the present secretary. The College team won Hockey Cuppers, beating St. Anne's in the final. Wendy Greenfield captained the University hockey team and Marian Hood was the secretary. Both are old blues; Mary Holley is a new blue, and Ann Sigsworth and Billie Biles were reserves against Cambridge. In Lacrosse, too, St. Hugh's is as well represented as ever. Diana Webb, treasurer of the club, and Susan Leggett are old half-blues: the new blues are Jennifer Callender and Jennifer Albery, who, besides being secretary of the club, has played for the English Universities and been reserve for the England team. Jean Holmes is the present captain of the University netball team. She and Maureen McKaig are both old blues. Wendy Kitchen, Joan Wilkinson, and Romola Christopherson have all played for the second team. We have one blue for squash—Jane Bott, the present treasurer of the club. Joanna Beattie is treasurer-elect, and Mary Henkel has also played in the University team. St. Hugh's entered for Bridge Cuppers, but, after beating Jesus, was knocked out by Corpus. Several friendly matches have also been played.

On 27 March 1958, CECILIA MARY ADY, M.A., D.LITT., Scholar, 1900-1903 ; Tutor in Modern History, 1909-23 ; Research Fellow, 1929-50; Honorary Fellow from 1950. Aged 76.

CECILIA MARY ADY, M.A., D.LITT. C1NE day in Hilary Term, 1926, I came out of 4o St. Margaret's Road and crossed over to go to my room in St. Hugh's College. My feet took their accustomed way but I was still moving in the narrow streets of Florence, where cries of Black and White Guelfs rang out and the exile of Dante was decreed. This has been the experience of generations of Oxford students, men and women, who have studied the Age of Dante or the Italian Renaissance under Dr. Ady: they have found themselves moving about medieval streets of Italian city-states under a guide who knew every inch of them and—even more exciting—seemed to move among the minds of Renaissance men and women as if she had held conversation with them yesterday. Her lectures seemed on occasion suddenly to fill the rather dreary Examination Schools with a society of gorgeous peacocks. The house in St. Margaret's Road, with walls covered with Italian prints, has indeed been a centre of Renaissance studies in Oxford, and Dr. Ady's gift of communicating her enthusiasm is still bearing its latest crop in young scholars who devote themselves to this period. Cecilia Ady was born at Edgecote, Northamptonshire, in 1881. Her father, the Rev. Henry Ady, and her mother, who as Julia Cartwright wrote Isabella d'Este and other biographies, seem to supply the clue to her two chief loyalties —the Church of England and Italian studies. Going up to St. Hugh's College, she expressed an eighteen-year-old's desire to break away from this latter influence but luckily was rescued for Renaissance studies by a great Oxford teacher, Edward Armstrong, to whom she acknowledged a lasting debt. In 1903 she took a First in Modern History and from 1909 to 1923 was Tutor in Modern History at St. Hugh's. Lecturing, teaching, and College business have occupied much of her life. From 1929 to 1950 she held a Research Fellowship at St. Hugh's and in 1950 she was elected to an Honorary Fellowship. On its Council she gave the College the full support of her judgement and experience, especially on academic questions. Her concern was always to seek out and assist the education of lively minds, while her encouragement of former pupils was warm and unfailing. She was a member of the Academic Sub-Committee of the British Federation of University Women from 1936 to 1958 and from 1935 to 1939 was President of the Oxford Branch of the Federation. A small but highly significant row of books on the Renaissance period, together with important articles and reviews, have brought her a high reputation in Italy, while in 1938, after the publication of The Bentivoglio of Bologna, the degree of D.Litt. (Oxon.) was conferred on her. She belonged to the school of historians who still believe that the interpretation of personality through literature writing is one of their great tasks, and her portraits of the humanist Pope Pius II (1913) and Lorenzo dei Medici (1955) are splendid examples of this art. The other focus of Cecilia Ady's activity was the Anglican Church. From the inception of the Church Assembly in 1920 continuously until 1955 she played her part, as an elected representative of the Oxford diocese, in establishing the place of the laity in the government of the Church. She moved about the country visiting Church Training Colleges and schools, speaking on the 19

Church of England today, interpreting lay responsibility within it. In The Church of England and How it Works she carried this work of education into print. From 1947 her sense of lay responsibility in the Church took the most practical form possible, for, as Chairman of the Oxford Diocesan Laity Challenge Fund for Clerical Stipends, she co-operated with all kinds of folk in shouldering the burden—heavy in a rural diocese—of raising about £8,000 per annum to supplement clerical incomes. Dr. Ady's world was full of real people, whether they belonged to the cities of Renaissance Italy or the villages of Oxford diocese. She enjoyed them all with sympathy and shrewd appraisal. Perhaps herein lay the secret of her greatness as a scholar, teacher, and twentieth-century woman. MARJORIE REEVES

MARCIA ALICE RICE

ISS RICE, who died on 22 April 1958 was a headmistress in the grand tradition. To a new girl coming to St. Anne's, of which she was head from 1901 to 1931, tall, aristocratic, with regal dignity and assurance, she was almost alarmingly impressive. But as we rose in seniority we came closer to her and alarm turned to admiration and admiration to friendship. I carry away two especially deep impressions. One is of her Sunday-night poetry readings, when we sat listening to her magnificent rendering of Browning's 'Saul' or Francis Thompson's 'The Hound of Heaven', forgetting even the anguish of sitting cramped on the floor for nearly two hours. My second impression is of the strength of her Christian faith which clearly dominated her whole life and her policy for the school. She must have communicated the splendour and assurance of this faith to many hundreds of girls. In her later years, living in Summertown, she was serene as old age advanced, always closely in touch with the school and with her old girls. M. F. P.
