Principal's Report Once again this year the College has lost a number of its Senior Members, among them one Emeritus Fellow, Miss Agnes Priscilla Wells, a muchloved former Treasurer, who died on 26 May 1980; and one Honorary Fellow, Lady Wolfson, who died on 7 January 1981.

Miss Haswell, who has been Additional Fellow since 1970, resigned at the end of September 1980 to set up as a Rural Development Consultant, and we wish her every success. The Chaplain, the Revd. R. Lloyd, also has left us, and his place has been taken by the Revd. David Wippell of St. Edward's School. Mr. Sweeney resigned his post of Retaining Fee Lecturer in Psychology. Two new Tutorial Fellows have been appointed: Mr. P. A. Charles, Physics, and Mr. J. Robertson, Modern History; Mr. I. Honeyman joined the College as Senior Bursar and Fellow. Mrs. M. S. Butler has been appointed Library Fellow, and Miss D. Quare has now taken up her duties as Librarian. Miss A. Lanceley was appointed Deputy Domestic Bursar. Mrs. Zaidi was elected Rhodes Visiting Fellow; Miss J. M. Sheppard, Joanna Randall Maclver Junior Research Fellow; Mr. A. E. G. Cass, British Petroleum Junior Research Fellow in Enzyme Studies; Mr. N. B. Rankov, Rhys-Davids Junior Research Fellow in Roman Archaeology (a new College award financed by a bequest from Miss Rhys-Davids); Miss S. Pitts (Chemistry) of Camden School for Girls was Schoolmistress Student in Trinity Term. The Revd. A. E. Harvey was awarded the prize for an English Poem on a Sacred Subject.

The College's Developent Appeal is now assured of over £530,000.

The most important single benefaction in 1980 was the endowment by the Wellcome Foundation of the Wellcome-Franks Medical Fellowship, of which the first holder is Dr. John Morris, the College's Tutor in Medicine.

I and the Appeal Secretary have both visited Senior Members in different parts of the country. The Junior Members have raised money by giving a very successful Garden Party. A Jumble and Book sale raised nearly £1,600. Dame Peggy Ashcroft, our Honorary Fellow, and George Rylands, with Blanca Bartos, gave a programme of readings and music in aid of the Appeal in the Playhouse on 1 February, and this added nearly £1,000 to our total. We are very grateful to all those who have helped, and are still helping, with our Appeal, and urge them to continue so that we may achieve our target of £2 million.

We have again had American students working with us, one from Georgetown University and one from Middlebury College, and hope that this happy association may long continue.

The rebuilt Buttery has now been named the Wordsworth Room and has proved very popular. The redecoration of the Chapel was completed and it and the new organ were dedicated by the Bishop of Oxford on Ascension Day.R.T. 7

The Junior Common Room, 1980 (including the Games Report) 1980 saw a busy and varied year for the J.C.R. with success in some new areas. Our Drama and Music Societies have blossomed, thanks to enthusiastic leadership and support, and greater financial blessing! The former produced a highly successful production of Oscar Wilde's Salome in Hilary Term, followed by a garden production (a Noel Coward play) in Trinity and a double bill in Michaelmas. First-year support is especially encouraging. The Music Society have exciting plans for the future, including the purchase of a harpsichord (with S.C.R. help), and have already begun post-prandial concerts on Sundays.

Our Boat Club was unlucky not to repeat its success of going Head of the River in Trinity Term; problems included the late delivery of the new boat. However, events bode better for the future; the new boat is being greatly enjoyed, and the crew (partially composed of ex-novices) recently went Head of the River at Christchurch Regatta. The History Society is well under way and recent plans include the formation of a Wine-tasting Society.

We shared a Ball with Keble College in the summer, which provided a beautiful evening, and also held a Garden Party in June to help raise money for the Appeal. ÂŁ200 was donated to College.

We did not, however, pander solely to our hedonistic tastes, and debated such serious issues in the J.C.R. as abortion, women's rights, the invasion of Afghanistan, and the important issue of co-residence. The J.C.R. voted, by debate and referendum, overwhelmingly to maintain our single-sex status. The veterans quarters please note!

In all it was a successful year in many regards and the increasing involvement of J.C.R. members, especially the first year in College societies, bodes well for a lively and positive future.

GILLIAN BELSHAM (President)

Middle Common Room There are at present sixty-two members in St. Hugh's M.C.R. of whom fifty-five are in residence in Oxford and the surrounding area. We welcome as newcomers to Oxford in Michaelmas Term 1980 Frances E. Kimmins (B.A. Lampeter) who is beginning an M.Litt in Theology, Patricia Groten from London University, working on Old Testament theology for the M.Litt., and Robin A. Fraser from Aberdeen University who is registered for an M.Litt. in Geography and is studying the geomorphology of chalk.

We are also pleased to see the return to the M.C.R. of Mary Franklin Johnson who obtained her M.Litt. degree from St. Hugh's in 1978, and has now come back to study Victorian historians for a D.Phil. in English.

From January to July 1980, Mrs. Barbara Zurakowska Gedliczka, a 18

Rawnsley Scholar, was a member of the M.C.R. and was engaged in a study of contrastive linguistics in bi-lingual children (English and • Polish). We are sorry not to have her with us for the Michaelmas Term but she was obliged to leave Oxford when her year of sabbatical leave came to an end and has resumed her post at the University Institute of English Philology in KrakOw, Poland.

The M.C.R. events which were directly connected with the college were much enjoyed in 1980. Termly Guest Nights in Hall proved to be as popular as ever and were festive occasions. The M.C.R. were pleased to meet the S.C.R. at the Wine and Cheese Party in the Michaelmas Term, which has become an annual event, and, over the past year, social links with the S.C.R. have been maintained by the invitations to M.C.R. members to dine on High Table. The M.C.R. has also participated in the sporting life of St. Hugh's. The First IV of the Boat Club consists entirely of M.C.R. members—Anna Orlowska, Robin Fraser, Ann Spilsbury, and Kathy Pritchard-Jones.

Social activities with other colleges have flourished in 1980. Parties with Worcester, St. Peter's, and Oriel on our premises have been highly successful, as have similar events at Lincoln, St. Peter's, Nuffield, and St. John's, in which we have participated. St. Hugh's M.C.R. also joined with Nuffield in a theatre trip to see the musical Evitti in London, with Wadham to go to a production of As You Like It at Stratford-upon-Avon, and with Lady Margaret Hall to see Romeo and Juliet also at Stratford.

The M.C.R. Social Secretary, Elspeth Heasom, and Secretary, Gwyneth Hughes, left St. Hugh's at the end of Trinity Term. The outgoing officers for 1980 are Maris Shone (temporary Secretary for the Michaelmas Term), Clare Isacke (Treasurer), Anne Andrew née Molyneux (Vice-President), and Agnes Sims (President).

Gifts and Benefactions Received in 1980 Gift of a drawing of Miss B. Kemp by Peter Greenham from Mrs. D. M. I. Scarisbrick (nee Wood) (1947-50), for the Senior Common Room (now hanging in the Fulford Room).

Gift of oak bookcase, formerly the property of Miss Jourdain, from Miss B. Kemp, Tutor in History and Fellow of the College 1947-78, Emeritus Fellow 1978 to date.

Annual Meeting of the Association of Senior Members The fifty-fifth Annual Meeting of the Association of Senior Members was held in the Mordan Hall on Saturday, 5 July 1980, at 3 p.m., the President, Dr. Reeves, in the chair. Eighty-nine members were present.

Members stood in silence while the President read the distressingly long list of names of those who had died during the past year.

The Minutes of the meeting held on 23 June 1979 were signed. There was no business arising from the Minutes.

President's Report. Dr. Reeves referred to the list of deaths which she had just read out. She felt that whatever one's view of life and death might be, in coming together on an occasion such as this, we expressed a corporate membership and it was right that a historical memory should be kept alive.

Last week the Professor of Poetry in his Crewe Oration had made particular mention of the deaths St. Hugh's had sustained and had expressed sympathy to the S.C.R. All had been commented on in moving tributes of which we had heard one this afternoon, that given by Miss Hesketh-Williams at the service in memory of Miss Thorneycroft. It was hoped that copies of this might be available on request.

Among past members none was more illustrious or generous than Dame Joan Evans. During her lifetime she had wished to remain anonymous, but in future her name would appear in the list of the College's benefactors.

Two special apologies for absence had been received from Dr. Adam and Miss Jacobs.

The President said that the Committee's year had not been dramatic.

There had been three meetings and she expressed gratitude to the members for their attendance. She would also like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Berridge who regularly served tea after the meetings.

The Committee was still seeking a place for the London Sherry Party in 1981, and hoped that someone would volunteer to be hostess. It was felt that the price, which had been held in 1979, would have to be raised.

In referring to the College Appeal, the President mentioned the Jumble Sale on 25 October. Other events were in the pipeline.

Governing Body Report. From the previous report you will have gathered that the Principal has been much occupied this year with matters concerning the appeal. This term she has given two public lectures and distributed prizes; last week she was a guest of 'Woman's Hour' and spoke, among other matters, about the College. In the College itself she has put much time and thought into the refurbishing of the Chapel. We now have a new organ and the Chapel itself has been redecorated in a most bold and imaginative manner.

Next term Miss Trickett will be taking sabbatical leave and our present Vice-Principal, Miss Sweeting, will be acting for her.

This term we are sadly losing several Fellows. Mrs Russell the Principal 23 .

has spoken about; I just wish to add that she will be sorely missed, but we hope that she will often return to liven us all up.

Miss Milne, our Senior Bursar, is also leaving. During her stay with us she has had a great impact on the administration of the College including spending much time on the reorganization of the Finance Office to cope with the increased complexity of College finances. She has also shown a very special talent in caring for the buildings of the College, and has put through a massive programme of maintenance and improvement. This was crowned this year by the very welcome reopening of the Buttery, transformed into a very lovely room where all College members, both senior and junior, may have lunch and which is also being used for meetings, classes, lectures, and inevitably parties. She will be especially remembered for this.

Miss Haswell, our Additional Fellow in Agricultural Economics, is also leaving us and is resigning her University lecturership in order to spend more time on research and consulting in the Far East.

The Revd. Ron Lloyd has resigned as Chaplain. We are grateful for his keeping us and many undergraduates cheerful over the years he has been with us.

From among our Research Fellows, our Rhodes Fellow, Kathy Burke is leaving to take up a lecturership in History and Politics at Imperial College in London. We wish her a very successful academic career.

As you may imagine, these departures mean that the Governing Body has been very active this year, indeed in almost continuous session making new appointments.

It is indicative of Mrs. Russell's contribution to the College that it has taken not one or two but three people to try to replace her. Mr. John Robertson, presently a Research Lecturer at Christ Church, will be joining us in October as Tutor in Modern History. This will make a total of four Johns and two Robertsons on the Governing Body.

Miss Deborah Quare—at present our Sub-librarian—will become our Librarian taking over this section of Mrs. Russell's empire. Mrs. Marilyn Butler, our Tutor in English, will become Library Fellow responsible on the Governing Body for library matters.

Mr. Ian Honeyman, who is already with us, replaces Miss Milne as Senior Bursar. His previous appointment was administrator of the University of the South Pacific.

Dr. P. A. Charles is to be Tutorial Fellow in Physics. He is an astrophysicist, currently researching in the University of California at Berkeley and succeeds to Dr. Adam's post.

The Revd. D. Wippell is to be our new Chaplain: we shall in future be sharing with St. Edward's School rather than with the Dragon School.

Joining us as Research Fellows next year are Dr. Anthony Cass as B.P. Research Fellow in Enzyme Studies who will work on the mechanism of the enzyme P450.

Dr. Budhwar, from Aligarh Muslim University, is the new Rhodes Visiting Fellow whose research interests are in Mughal History.

24

Miss Sheppard is our Randall-Maclver Research Fellow, an art historian who will work on illuminated manuscripts.

Mr. Nicholas Rankov is Rhys-Davids Junior Research Fellow in Roman Archaeology.

Mr. S. Maitra has been appointed to a temporary lecturership in Economics.

This last appointment was occasioned by Miss Cooper being occupied elsewhere in the University. Miss Cooper was admitted in March as Senior Proctor and has now concluded and appeared to enjoy very much her first term of office.

Next year Mrs. Smart, our Tutor in Law, becomes Tutor for Admissions.

This term Miss Gradon, Mrs. Wood, Miss Daniel, Mrs. Smart, and Mr. Wilkinson have been on sabbatical leave.

We were delighted to learn recently that Miss Sweeting has been awarded the Bush Medal of the Royal Geographical Society. This was for scientific research and discovery recognizing the importance of her work on limestone. She assures me the medal is made of gold. She has subsequently been interviewed on Radio 3 by Alistair Clayre.

Miss Jane Glover, our Lecturer in Music, has been appointed and is already in post as Chorus Master for Glyndebourne.

Mr. Harvey, our Lecturer in Theology, is continuing a well-established St. Hugh's tradition in winning the 1980 prize for an English Poem on a Sacred Subject.

This brings me to the point in my report where I give you recent news of distinctions achieved by old members. It is difficult to ensure completeness so my apologies to anyone who has been omitted.

Professor Mann, Honorary Fellow of the College, has been awarded the D.B.E. for services to aboriginal welfare in the 1980 Birthday Honours List.

Catherine Johnson who read History between 1971 and 1974 has been appointed Assistant Parliamentary Counsel.

Nicola Mackie, who read Classics from 1972 to 1976, has been appointed to a Research lecturership at Christ Church.

Mrs. Birch, whose maiden name was Baggeley, a Scholar of the College reading English from 1971 to 1974, has been appointed to a Junior Research Fellowship at Merton.

Lesley Sharpe, a Scholar of the same years, has been awarded a Hanseatic Scholarship for two years research in Hamburg.

Mrs. Williams (nĂŠe Hobson), who read History (very fast) from 1950 to 1952, has a British Academy grant for research on the Rhodes archives.

The Martinengo Cesaresco Travel Grant has been given to Mrs. Constable.

Carolyn Blackwell, a third-year student in Lit. Hum., has won a Charles Oldham Travelling Scholarship and Mrs. Harris, a third-year History student, has a Churchill Travelling Scholarship to visit the U.S.A. this summer.

Another third-year student, Sally Highnam, a medic, has won a Mary Goodger Scholarship.

25

Richenda Todd has won the Cyril Jones Memorial Prize.

Catherine Ennis has been appointed Director of Music at St. Marylebone Parish Church, London.

College awards have gone to the following: Dame Catherine Fulford Senior Scholarships to Clare Isacke and Elizabeth Baigent. The Julia Wood Book Prize to Sian Lewis and the Lorna Limpus Book Prize to Jean Paterson. College Prizes for distinguished work in the First Public Examination went to Fiona Alty and Richenda Todd.

Finally I would like to mention three events held in College this term.

Professor Posner gave her Inaugural Lecture entitled 'On the Romance Languages'.

The Bickley Lecture was given by Professor Griffiths of Manchester University, who spoke on Theory and Practice in the Writings of Trissino.

The J.C.R. Dramatic Society gave performances, in the garden, of Fallen Angels by Noel Coward.

College Report Membership of the Association and the future of the Address List.

There was a general discussion opened by Dr. Green as to whether it would be an improvement on the present system if B.A.'s could become life members of the Association. It was recognized that there were a number of technical difficulties, mainly relating to the financing of the scheme, including increased office work and printing, and it was for the College ultimately to decide. If, however, such difficulties could be overcome, then the opinion of the meeting, taken by a show of hands, was that the widening of the membership would be welcomed.

It was not possible to discuss the Address List usefully until the Governing Body had decided about the membership.

Elections. The President, Hon. Secretary, and Editor were confirmed in their offices for a further two years.

Three new committee members were returned unopposed. These were Mrs. Ann Ridler (A. M. Morris, 1953), Mrs. Margaret Pelling (M. A. Gidding, 1967), and Ms. Elaine Fairless (1970).

Presentation to Mrs. Russell. Dr. Gillian Sutherland said it was her pleasant duty to make the presentation to Mrs. Russell whom she had first known as Joy Dickinson. As tutor she had shown both thorough preparation and infectious enthusiasm in her subject. As Librarian she had presided over a major reorganization of the Library, and she would now be involved in arranging special events for the College appeal. Dr. Sutherland handed Mrs. Russell a cheque on behalf of Senior Members with thanks and love.

Mrs. Russell said she did not know how to reply. It was wonderful to have been at St. Hugh's and be a member of a long line of distinguished librarians and historians. Someone who was leaving was struck by the great benefactions which had been received and which had made possible 26

the refurnishing of the old library, and the setting up of the Science and Law libraries. She was thinking of using her presentation cheque to buy books and possibly to take a spring holiday. It had been a privilege to serve St. Hugh's, and she offered her best wishes to the College for the future.

Other Business. Dr. Busbridge, as a trustee of St. Margaret's House, urged members to support the setting up of a centre for young children to complement what had been achieved for the old people. Money had been given for a building, but this now required equipment—toys, chalks, paints, jugs, knives, plates—for twenty to twenty-four children.

The collection at Sunday Communion would go towards this project.

Letter from Mrs. Russell:

47 Woodstock Road, Oxford July 6th Dear Jeanette (If I may so address you). It was such a generous act of the A.S.M. to make me the presentation. I had not expected it, and was quite overwhelmed when I was told. I should like, formally, to express my thanks for such kindness; it will be a great delight to plan my use of the money.

Many thanks to you, personally, for organising all this, and best wishes for the future of the Association.

Yours sincerely Joy Russell The Gaudy 1980. Once again the Gaudy had, if not good weather, the best that was available in an unkind summer. The sun did not shine and the sky was grey, but the trees in the College garden looked their best and the lawns were green thanks to the recent weeks of rain. It was possible to have the usual quite delicious tea in the garden in comfort. There were a number of older members and others who for some reason were prevented from coming to the Gaudy dinner who valued this time in the garden to see old acquaintances and to gather a store of news from the past two years.

In the afternoon there was a well-attended meeting of the Association held in the Mordan Hall. This is reported fully elsewhere. The usual gaiety of the Gaudy seemed to me, who has attended them for over forty years, to be a little diminished by the sense of the heavy losses the College has sustained, so heavy that they were mentioned by the Public Orator at the Encaenia. Miss Procter and Miss Francis were quite often in College long after their retirement; and Miss Thorneycroft had, I feel sure, not missed a Gaudy since her appointment as Bursar fifty-five years ago. Her Memorial Service was held at 2.15 p.m. on the Gaudy Saturday. The Chapel was full to overflowing, and Miss Hesketh-Williams, a close friend of Miss Thorneycroft, gave a most interesting and moving account of her life and of her extraordinary ability to know and to remain interested in generation after generation of undergraduates, and of her wide range of other interests.

27

This memorial service was the first time that many people had been able to see and admire the fine new organ and the newly decorated Chapel with its unusual combination of rose in the walls and the upholstery and black wood. Most people agreed that the effect was unusual but beautiful.

In the evening after sherry in the Mordan Hall about two hundred people dined in Hall, among whom there was a larger number of Fellows than usual. The dinner was excellent, the Chef having again excelled himself, and it is good to note that the College is acquiring a good cellar, a thing beyond the imagination when I was an undergraduate. After the Queen's health had been drunk, the Association was proposed by Gillian Sutherland, now a don at Newnham who, as G. R. Thomas, came up to St. Hugh's in 1960. She felt that as a College we were rather modest about our achievements and told of how, on her arrival at Cambridge, people assumed that she must have come from Somerville and speedily had their knowledge adjusted. The President, Dr. Reeves, deplored the heavy losses the College had suffered by death and by retirement. She mentioned in particular the retirement of Mrs. Russell, one of a long line of distinguished historians and Librarians of the College. She was confident of the well-being of the Association and said how successful the last London Sherry Party had been, even to making a small profit.

The toast of the College was proposed by Hazel Rossotti (Hazel Marsh), now a Fellow of St. Anne's College, in a brief, witty speech. In replying, the Principal spoke of her confidence that the College Development Appeal would reach the target set. She spoke of the publicity the College had received from her own appearance on 'Woman's Hour' and from the photographs of the garden in the Observer. She was saddened by the many losses the College had sustained, and by the retirement of Miss Milne, the Senior Bursar. Much of the beauty of the College decor was due to her artistic taste and interest. She spoke of the importance in life of being presented with and making the right choices, and this was what the College was continually doing for its members. She brought the house down by citing a choice of quite another nature presented to her over the telephone by an inept official.

On Sunday morning the Principal gave an address at the Memorial Service in Chapel for Miss Francis, stressing what her scholarship and interest had done for the College. During Sunday morning several dons offered their usual generous hospitality and then the Gaudy was over.

That it went without a hitch and was enjoyable was largely due to Miss Rothwell's excellent work and organization.

Evelyn Emma Stefanos Procter The following address was given by the Principal at the Memorial Service in the University Church of St. Mary the Virgin on Saturday, 7 June 1980.

There is a well-known story about Miss Procter which 1 always understood to be apocryphal, but a contemporary friend from her days as a Somerville undergraduate assures me is true. At her formal viva in the Schools she was asked only one question: the date of the Battle of Hastings. She could not remember it. Afterwards in the Cadena her friend tried to dry her tears and allay her anxiety by telling her that she had obviously taken a brilliant First, as indeed she had. But she was inconsolable.

The story is absurd, funny, and also characteristic. Evelyn Procter was deeply self-critical and in some ways uncertain; shy and upright, she was sustained by the application to herself of the same rigorous standards she expected of others. This scrupulous woman, through a life dedicated 32

1932-46; Treasurer 1946-51; Official Fellow 1927-51; Emertue Fellow 1960-80

to scholarship, meticulous exactitude and attention to detail in the conduct of everyday existence, and in the wider context of thought and belief, demonstrated her quality by a complete devotion to truth. Two things dominated her career: scholarship and service to St. Hugh's College to which she was first appointed as assistant tutor in History in 1925, where she became a Fellow in 1926 and of which she was elected Principal in 1946. Her loyalty to St. Hugh's was the predominant passion of her life, and she put aside her research to devote herself to its care and administration.

She became Principal at a difficult time just after the end of the last war when the College was dispersed, its buildings having been taken over as a hospital, and when the Institute of Statistics had infiltrated the grounds in a series of Nissen huts which wrecked one of the most beautiful of Oxford gardens. It may not sound credible now that the Institute assumed it could go on squatting on the main lawn of the College, but so it did, and without the good offices of Sir Douglas Veale, then Chairman of the College Council, and the determination of Evelyn Procter, who knows whether St. Hugh's might not by now have dwindled to a mere appendage of that guardian of the dismal sciences ? But Evelyn Procter was a formidable adversary. Tenacious, meticulous in every detail, unsparing in her stubborn opposition to any trespass on the College's independence, she won the day, and proceeded to put her passionate love of gardening to the service of restoring the grounds of which she was Custos with the same brilliant effectiveness with which she administered the day-to-day affairs of St. Hugh's as an academic society.

It was characteristic of Evelyn Procter that she respected the independence of her Fellows with an equally intense, proprietary concern as that with which she guarded her own. She was imbued with a powerful sense of justice and integrity which extended to those with whom she came into daily contact—junior or senior members. With junior members her reserve and shyness sometimes inhibited her ease—except with those who were confident, sociable, and good conversationalists, for she loved wit and lively talk. These found her a wise and charming companion. But it was hard for her to initiate conversation, and as a tutor her rigorous standards sometimes prevented her from giving the open encouragement the unconfident needed. She would have been distressed to know this, for no one was more delighted by the academic successes of her pupils, or by their simple progress and improvement.

Evelyn Procter would have wanted, especially and rightly, to be remembered not only as a tutor or as a Head of House, but as a scholar, and in this latter capacity she must indeed be regarded as one who broke new ground, and, unostentatiously and painstakingly, produced original material in a field few English historians had attended to previously— the constitutional development of the Spanish Cortez.

She retained a deep admiration for Edward Armstrong, University Lecturer in Foreign History, who was attached to the Queen's College and who taught her as an undergraduate. Her original intention was to make 33

Italian History her special subject, and it was Armstrong who persuaded her to look instead at this comparatively neglected field. In the 1920s and 30s she visited Spain often and collected from documents the material which went to the making of her book, now happily completed and to be published this year. Her work on the Cortez, the first political representative assembly in Europe, not only displays authentic scholarship but is already accepted as authoritative by Spanish as well as by English historians. Her article in the English Historical Review for 1940 on the use and custody of the secret seal in Leon and Castile has long been regarded as definitive, and this, together with her Macon Lecture on Alfonso X (The Wise) of Castile, delivered in 1951, and a further article in the English Historical Review supplement, 1963, on the judicial use of the pesquisa in Leon and Castile, are themselves much more than mere preliminary studies for her book. That work, Curia and Cortez in Leon and Castile, which she completed in her retirement, is one to the appearance of which all historians of Spain, or of medieval constitutional development, look forward with deep and confident anticipation.

Evelyn Procter's devotion to St. Hugh's can be measured by her sacrifice of work which was far more a pleasure than a duty to her. But her scholarly interests closely influenced her new career. She put into practice what she had learned, and anyone who saw her conduct a Governing Body Meeting realized that she had no patience with procedural ineptitude, and was a subtle and skilful, if sometimes autocratic, chairman.

But I shall not easily forget the smile of satisfaction on her face the morning after her last Governing Body Meeting, which had been a stormy and difficult one, when she turned to me in the hall of her house, of which I occupied the top floor, and said, 'That's the last time. Now I can put my mind to my work.'

There are perhaps few severer tests of the character of a Head of House than to have to share premises with a Fellow of the same college. Evelyn Procter passed that test superbly. I succeeded my predecessor as English Tutor in occupying the top flat in the Principal's Lodgings which was then no. 3 St. Margaret's Road, where I lived for eight years. Though I believe Miss Procter occasionally sighed over my gregarious habits (her own being contrastingly solitary), she never revealed this to me. An innate courtesy and independence, a detachment and respect for others' individuality, were among the most admirable traits of her character, and these were never more evident than in her management of this situation.

It could indeed be said that she was at her best in her own home.

Something of her elegance and taste, for she was a beautiful and dignified woman, with a love of good clothes, of a good table, and of lovely objects, was reflected in the sitting-room in which she spent much of her time.

The wall over the fireplace was hung with water-colours of her own painting—she was an accomplished amateur artist; a pretty bay flanked by a french window and a little flight of iron steps led out of it into the garden she loved to tend—a Victorian North Oxford garden, green and dense with lilac, laburnum, and hawthorn; the sitting-room too of a Victorian 34

North Oxford house, with a lofty ceiling and a feeling of air and space in spite of the accumulation of her books which closed in on it from all sides.

Some of her paintings were of the English countryside she loved— I remember one of Tintern which she had known when teaching at Monmouth School early in her career; there were others of Switzerland— mountain scenes painted from memory, for she had spent a miserable year there, she told me, in a sanatorium for tuberculosis. Her boredom, lying through interminable afternoons on a balcony looking at snowy peaks, was alleviated, she said, by the visits of red squirrels for whom she would store up nuts in the pockets of her suede jacket, and they became so tame that they would creep up and over her to forage for their food in her hidden hoard.

Most engaging of Evelyn Procter's traits to me was this occasional revelation of the gentle nature which lit up the shadows that inevitably gather round a deeply reserved, dutiful, and devoted character. One night during a power cut, or it may have been a fuse, she carried upstairs to my room a Georgian silver candelabra, the candles all lit, to enable me to go on reading and writing. I can still remember the expression of delight on her face as she placed it on my desk and surrendered to its loveliness. The gesture was typical, too, of her generosity and thoughtfulness. She loved beauty. To walk round the garden with her was to realize how deeply she cared for nature. She would confess to close friends that she could put herself to sleep at times of insomnia by planning gardens, or by imagining to herself the quiet landscape of her childhood in Bedfordshire, with its shabby warm fields, its hedgerows and little hidden streams. She was, indeed, a deeply rooted woman, conservative by instinct and by conviction—though she was too splendidly rational ever to deny the possibility of change when she recognized the need for it. Her devotion to the English countryside, unlike her devotion to the College, was tacit and undemonstrative, and perhaps the more intense for that. It was like her deep love for her family which was apparent to all who knew her. Her sister, living abroad, was a frequent and welcome guest; her nieces and nephews were always a topic of conversation, and she was delighted that one of them read History at St. Hugh's and that that niece's daughter followed her as an undergraduate.

Latterly, in her retirement, much of her reserve melted and Evelyn Procter was happy, especially in her return to the vocation of scholarship.

She told me that she had always found the relation of supervisor to graduate easier than that of tutor to undergraduate, and in these later years she regularly attended conferences of teachers of Spanish history, indeed until three years ago, where she was greeted both with deep respect and with warm pleasure for the full and eager part she played in their proceedings. So, too, she delighted to come into College once a week to lunch and to spend the day working on the history of the College which she had undertaken to write. Many Lecturers and Research Fellows, new to St. Hugh's, were attracted immediately by her presence, her courtesy, and her lively interest in them and their concerns.

35

The last time I saw her was when I was entertaining to lunch two American professors at the same time as she was present. One of them said to me afterwards, 'I don't know when I've enjoyed a conversation more.' The talk was with Evelyn Procter; the compliment was exceptional, for conversation was not one of her arts. But she had responded at once to questions about women's education in Oxford, past, present, and future, and had lost herself in the pleasure of giving to a stranger the extent of her experience, her knowledge, and her wisdom. What came across to that stranger, as she told me, and as I saw, was the reticent charm which, with Evelyn Procter, broke through her shyness when she was delighted, as she so often was, by the bold and confident approach of someone who was ignorant of her reserve and her diffidence.

At the beginning of this talk I spoke of the strain of uncertainty in her strong, devout, and devoted nature. A friend of hers has told me that, somewhat surprisingly, one of her favourite hymns was the last stanzas from Tennyson's In Memoriam. They are not easy to find in today's hymnals, so I would like to read two of them to you: Strong Son of God, Immortal Love, Whom we that have not seen thy face By faith and faith alone embrace, Believing where we cannot prove. . . .

Thou wilt not leave us in the dust, Thou madest man, he knows not why, He thinks he was not made to die, And thou halt made him, thou art just.

On reflection this preference of hers seems not so surprising. That tentative expression must have appealed to her intellectual integrity. Evelyn Procter was a devout Christian, and at the same time a believer in justice, in impartiality and objectivity, as all true scholars must be. Yet she was also, at the deepest level, an intense, often prejudiced, passionate, and partisan human being, as most of us are. She must, thus, have been aware of her own uncertainties, and this awareness may well, I believe, have induced her to hold to her family, her College, her scholarship, her belief in the consolations of nature, of art, and of faith with a tenacity that was the source of her great strength in an arduous and often solitary life. She died as she would have wished to, quietly and quickly, with The Times crossword, her favourite relaxation, on her lap, and the corrected proofs of her completed book on the desk in front of her. Today we think of her service to the College, to this University, and to scholarship with pride and gratitude. We who knew her more personally at St. Hugh's think, too, of the eager, uncertain, passionate, and generous nature that lay under her surface of restraint, one might even say, of Castilian dignity, with deep affection and admiration.

Elizabeth Annie Francis The following address was given by the Principal at the Memorial Service in St. Hugh's College Chapel on Sunday, 6 July 1980.

In the painting, A Conversation Piece by Henry Lamb, which hangs in the College dining-hall, the personalities as well as the features of all the sitters are most vividly depicted. Two faces confront the spectator: Cecilia Ady's, strong, embattled, and defiant, and Elizabeth Francis's, tentative, slightly wistful, calm, and questioning. She leans over the back of a chair, gazing out at you from wide brown eyes with the merest suggestion of a smile—the only one in the whole painting.

Elizabeth Francis was an exceptionally pretty woman. When I knew her her plentiful and chaotically anchored hair was grey: it had been black.

The smooth and exquisite complexion, which those who had known her when she was young would always speak of, had withered a little; but the enormous liquid eyes remained, and their almost hypnotic effect. My first impressions of her were of a woman of great intellectual curiosity and wide culture. She talked to me at High Table about eighteenth-century literature, English as well as French, handling the various topics as easily and unaffectedly as if we were discussing the latest novel we had read.

The style of her conversation was new to me, but I recognized it as a style, deliberate though unassumed. She was a woman of great pertinacity of judgement and opinion who chose to speak in periods of such Proustian complexity, such serpentine structural involution, that at first a crude or inattentive listener might imagine that her mind was cloudy or her responses vague. What, in fact, that entirely characteristic manner of speech was meant to convey to the interlocutor was both sharp and true: it was a warning that the matter in hand was more subtle, more complicated, more interconnected than might at first be evident to a less perceptive mind and imagination than hers. Everything, she gave you the impression of thinking, was less simple than it seemed, and she was generally right.

This quality of mind and imagination contributed to the width of her scholarship and the range of her speculation. Her way of looking at Anglo-Norman literature has long been recognized for its uniqueness. She saw in it not merely literary and linguistic qualities to excite her, but the whole pattern of life lying behind it, society of the time, modes and manners and means of expressing them. She was in many ways a natural historian. Her scholarly interests were first engaged by a cycle of poems written round the life of St. Margaret which led to the publication of a Latin passio in 1927 followed by an edition of Wace, the Anglo-Norman poet's Vie de Sainte Marguerite. This was published in the series 'Classiques Francais du Moyen Age' under the general editorship of Mario Rogues with whom she had worked in Paris in 1922/3 and again later. It was after these publications that she began to exercise her instinct for the realities that underlay her subject, especially those which emerge from the work of Marie de France. In 1939 an article on the 'Trial of Lanval' (a fairy tale) 37

established from the work a basis of legal terminology and practice at the time which is widely recognized as authoritative. In 1951 an article 'Marie de France et son temps' again revealed her interest in places, people, family backgrounds, and social institutions, all the things which fascinated her most.

Like so many women tutors of her generation her devotion to duty, the range of her teaching, and her concern for her pupils prevented her from producing as much as she or other French scholars would have hoped. But it should not be forgotten how wide her range was, extending from twelfth-century works written in England (like 'Marie de France'), through those produced in eastern France (her article on 'Guillaume D'Angleterre'), from Fouke Fitz Waryn, an Anglo-Norman writer of the fourteenth century to the teaching of French in England in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Inevitably she had a wide correspondence with French scholars and her work is as known and revered in France as here. She was honoured by the award of Officier d'Academie in 1953 'en reconasissance des services que vous avez rendus a la culture francaise', and elected corresponding member of the Academy of Rouen (Academie des Sciences, Belles Lettres et Arts) in 1960 and of La Societe des Ecrivains Normands.

Professor Reid says this of her written style: 'It was not always easy to follow, because always rather compressed and often allusive, and sometimes showed a somewhat puckish humour—she modestly assumed that the reader really knew as much about the subject as she did and needed only a few hints to see matters in the right light.'

To return to Elizabeth Francis's character and her personal manner: the same obliqueness of reference, the same allusiveness and elusiveness, the same mischief characterized her talk as her written style. For one was always aware in her of the lurking presence of humour, as the smile is just forming on her mouth in Henry Lamb's portrait. In talk, though, she was not compressed. Leisurely and expansive, she gave you the feeling that she had all the time in the world not only for what she had to say but for you and your concerns. I never saw her impatient, hasty, or ill tempered.

She hated acrimony and disliked public faction. The quiet detachment of her manner, her unruffled courtesy and graciousness gave her natural dignity and conveyed a quite spontaneous, reticent charm. Above all, she was prepared to take time over her pupils, and she cared very much for them, as much when they had left College as when they were undergraduates. She was by nature someone who kept her contacts as well as her friendships in repair. So many of her former pupils have insisted on this point in sharing with me their recollections, but perhaps the story that most perfectly illustrates her kindness and her wit is one which Professor Fairlie told me at High Table last night. She and her tutorial companions came to Miss Francis to hear their reports. She admitted reports had come from an outside tutor who had said one of the pair was weaker than the other. 'But', Miss Francis added quietly, 'I can't now remember which.'

The number of pupils who loved and kept up with her is itself proof of 38

her natural kindness, a kindness towards all sorts of people which was wholly unassuming and sprang from her imaginative sympathy with, as well as her curiosity about, other human beings. This combined with her complex and subtle character and intellect produced to her colleagues and friends an over-all and fascinating sense of mysteriousness. She practised no deliberate mystifications, but you always had with her in the last resort the feeling of a hidden woman which again the painter has caught delicately and beautifully in his picture. She was entirely unselfconscious, indeed, through her perfect manner, self-effacing. She gave away nothing but what she was giving to others of her time and concern, and to scholarship of her warm interest and her intellectual curiosity.

Just as she could be affectionate at once in responding to others, so she could be direct and shrewd in her judgements. It would be hard, nevertheless, for any but her closest friends and family to say confidently that they really knew her. Part of her fascination was the sense of further recesses of personality that appeared in glimpses through a quiet and disciplined surface. To those who knew her best, however, her company was restful, restorative, confidence-inspiring, and unflawed by anxiety or intensity.

She was, as I remember her, always on the point of laughter, on the edge of revelation, but as refreshing in her detachment as stimulating in her elusiveness. An old admirer said to one of her pupils that he would always think of her riding her bicycle, her black hair escaping the haphazard arrangement she favoured, beautiful and fleeting, passing by.

But there was nothing transient about her kindness, her loyalty, her intellectual integrity and curiosity, or the sense of duty which, during her retirement, kept her occupied not only with the College, with friends and old pupils, but with the elderly aunt with whom for many years she had shared a home in Headington. She must have been sustained in her life with us and in retirement by the love of pupils and friends, and the secret nourishment of that vital and imaginative spirit which kept her young to the end. Elizabeth Francis was a modest woman, but always an intriguing one. A fine scholar, a devoted tutor and friend, one who enjoyed fastidiously but genuinely the pleasures of good living and good learning; she was all these, but she remains to me, finally, the face looking out of the Conversation Piece, with the same reticent, questioning, quietly challenging expression with which she served and observed this College for so many fruitful years.

Thorny, as she was affectionately known, was born in Birmingham and educated at King Edward VI High School. She read Classics at Birmingham University, and after teaching took up Social Work in Sheffield, where she met Miss Gwyer, and followed her to Oxford, to become Bursar, and later Treasurer of St. Hugh's in 1925. It was a period of great instability in the life of the College, and it is important for us, who take the stability of St. Hugh's for granted, to look back with gratitude to Miss Gwyer and her Fellows who brought order and progress out of that chaos.

Thorny was ideally suited to the post, which required her to befriend every undergraduate and to advise them in their problems, personal, financial, or emotional. To those who responded to her friendship she offered legendary hospitality and life-long concern. She knew all the hundred and fifty undergraduates at College during her twenty-six years of work here, and their children who came to College after them. They were her family and in this she included all who worked for St. Hugh's.

College was her home, and to it she gave her whole-hearted love and loyalty.

Her childhood experience of the slums in Birmingham had conditioned her sensitive social conscience. She joined the Labour Party, and contended the North Oxford Ward for the City Council. For a time she looked to Communism as a possible solution of our economic problems. When in 1937 the Library Wing had been built under her watchful eye and she was given a sabbatical year, she went to Russia. Here she encountered the `Purge', and so began the disillusionment with Communism, which became complete by the end of her life. But she worked for social causes all her life, and was canvassing for Labour in St. John's Wood in 1979. She was a Founder Trustee of the Oxford Trustees' Savings Bank. She loved foreign travel, most of which took place alone, and she loved music. The war changed her life completely. College buildings, apart from the Library, were commandeered for the Head Injuries Hospital, to which the wounded were flown from field stations behind the lines, and College was dispersed to seven different centres. After this arduous reorganization Thorney was seconded to the War Office to supervise the formation of hostels for women war-workers. When war was over Thomey returned to Oxford to face the cruelly demanding resettlement into the College buildings, which were in bad repair and unbelievable squalor. Delay on the part of the Army telescoped the essential interval between the evacuation of the buildings and the approach of term. The strain of working against time, and the struggle with the authorities to get permission to demolish the derelict wards, which had been built over the lawns and garden and from which squatters had to be evicted before the bulldozers moved in, took a severe toll of her health and spirits.

Her post-war life in Oxford was as full as ever. She had ceased to be Bursar and now concentrated on the Treasurership. She became a Governor of several schools and President of the Oxford Branch of the Business and Professional Women's Club. The arrival of her niece Pamela at St. Hugh's to read P.P.E. gave her great happiness.

40

When she retired to London in 1951 she became Treasurer of Queen's College and helped to restore the finances of the University Women's Club.

She had been made an Official Fellow of St. Hugh's in 1927, and now as Emeritus Fellow she rarely missed a College function. She became increasingly fond of London, and perhaps of the many learned bodies which she joined the City Literary Institute played the greatest part in her life. Her hospitality continued right up to the end. She lived in a curious timelessness of daily life, she seemed to slip through the day, just managing to reach midnight in time to go to bed and begin the next day: a habit of mind which remained with her all through life but intensified as she grew older. When Pamela settled in Suffolk, the caravan in her lovely orchard, which she made over to Thorney, became her 'still centre', peacefully surrounded by her greatnieces and their numerous cats. She died of old age after a brief and painless spell in the Middlesex Hospital.

Perhaps the greatest debt College owes her is for her life-long love and concern for its undergraduates. I like to remember her in Mordan Hall at a Gaudy or on St. Hugh's Night, surrounded by former students, or hurrying across the room to greet someone she had just recognized and perhaps not seen for years, her face full of eagerness and her red-gold hair glowing. She reminded me of the Spirits of the Blessed in Dante's Paradiso whirling through the Heavens to greet the newcomer, impelled by love and burning with the charity that longs to serve, crying: Two chi crescera li nostri amori', ! here is one who will increase our love.'

Agnes Priscilla Wells The following address was given by the Principal of St. Hugh's College at the Memorial Service for Miss Priscilla Wells on Saturday, 22 November 1980.

The first person I met when I was interviewed for the post of Fellow and Tutor in English Literature at St. Hugh's College was Priscilla Wells.

There was no reason that I should know that she was a close personal friend of my predecessor, Molly Mahood, and indeed, there was no moment in that encounter which did more than leave me with the sensation of reassurance, peaceful pleasure in the meeting, and a wonderful feeling of confidence : that whatever the outcome, the College actually welcomed candidates. That sensation was entirely owing to Priscilla. She had the rare art of creating concord.

Those of us here who attended her funeral must, it should be admitted, be surprised by the crowded congregation. This did not only consist of colleagues, members of St. Hugh's College staff, members of St. Philip's and St. James's for which church she did so much, but of many members of societies, neighbourhoods, her family, or personal friends; it was a tribute to a woman who was much loved.

41

It is important, today, to have some idea why people are loved; our convictions, whether they are Christian or agnostic or political, are accepted but too little, to my mind, questioned. So I have spent some time pondering this question—why Agnes Priscilla Wells, such a familiar figure to all of us here at St. Hugh's, should have been the object of so much genuine affection.

Before I give my answer to that question, I would like simply to remind you of her career. She was educated at Howell's School, Denbigh, between 1925 and 1931. She then achieved an exhibition at Westfield College, London (of which she was a governor for the later years of her life) from 1931 to 1934. She then took up a teaching position in Modern Languages at Hastings and St. Leonard's College, and in 1936 came to Clifton High School, Bristol, as one of five members of the modern languages department. In 1939 she completed a censorship course in London and in the following year worked in the Censorship Department of the Ministry of Information in Liverpool, using French, German, and Dutch languages and, occasionally, Spanish. In 1940 she was posted to Bermuda on censorship work, and between 1943 and 1946 she did intelligence work for the Foreign Office. The years 1946 to 1950 were spent at the Treasury in the Overseas Finance Section. For a year, between 1950 and 1951, she worked in Paris in the Treasury delegation to the O.E.E.C. She was appointed Treasurer of St. Hugh's College in 1951, overlapping for three months with her predecessor, Miss Thorneycroft. There can have been few Treasurers who, in the course of their careers, witnessed so many changes as did Priscilla Wells. One of her first problems, which she shared with the then Principal, Miss Procter, was to organize the demolition of wartime huts which had been built in the College garden for the Institute of Statistics. She was then concerned in the rapid extension of the College, which involved increasing the space of the Dining Hall and the corresponding wing of the College on the other side of the terrace. She was closely concerned with the redecoration of the Chapel after Dr. Ady's legacy for that purpose had been left to the College.

But all these activities were indeed part of her job, and she undertook them with enthusiasm, determination, and devotion. Few Treasurers (or Bursars as they are now more commonly called) spent so much time walking the grounds and looking over the buildings. Priscilla knew the College from end to end. More important, even than that, she knew every member of staff, domestic, administrative, gardening, and understood their problems, and fought for their rights at every stage in her career.

When I became Principal, having known her as an administrative Fellow only for many years, I was astonished at her personal knowledge and concern with everyone for whom she had responsibility in the College.

But I want now to return to my first point—why she was so much loved.

Like all of us, Priscilla Wells had the faults of her virtue. She could be obstinate (because she was loyal); she could be negative (because she was cautious). But she was never contentious, nor did she ever take an ungenerous view of those over whose careers she had responsibility. She 42

loved and grew to know undergraduates; many old members of College have written to me to tell me how much her kindness to them—even on occasions like graduate lunches which she organized with affectionate efficiency—meant, and how well they remember it. This is one of the aspects of her life here I would like to accentuate. She understood the meaning of a corporate society, and, though often in disagreement with the Principal and the Fellows, was never one who assumed this to be an argument against the existence of a College.

Above all, she was a devout Christian, and I feel it necessary to speak most of all about this. For many years she was active in helping St. Philip's and St. James's Church as Treasurer, and in 1971 she took leave to spend time at William Temple College, Rugby, to study the Christian faith in relation to contemporary society. She was always a loyal attender at College Chapel, though she did not always approve of its ritual. This was characteristic of Priscilla Wells. Differences of opinion were not, to her, occasions of dissention. She was one of the peacemakers, and to my mind this is why she was so much loved.

There are many more superficial, but nevertheless understandable, reasons why she should have attracted so many people. She was always immaculate—in her appearance, her dress, her manners. I cannot count the number of occasions on which people visiting the College have said to me how charming and beautiful she looked. It was certainly my own first impression of her.

I did not know her well, but we had one interest in common—music.

We both belonged for many years to the Eglesfield Choir at the Queen's College. When I found that rehearsals every Thursday night were too much for me I told Priscilla that I intended to resign. 'Oh Rachel', she said, `Surely you can organize your life so that you can go on. I know how much you love it.' The truth is I couldn't, but she could. She was a woman who organized her life wonderfully.

One thing we did not share was her great interest in sport. She was for many years the representative of the women's colleges on the Sports Committee, and was herself a brilliant tennis player. She loved walking and wild-life. Even when she was aware of her ill-health she was so concerned with life and its enjoyment that she took over teaching posts in her retirement, and told the priest who saw her before she died how much she loved life.

Those of us who knew her well as colleague and friend will always remember her as one who in the deepest sense understood the ideas of commitment, loyalty, gentleness, and peace. My own deepest recollection of Priscilla Wells is of her quality of calm, of control, and of quietness.

These are rare gifts today. I would want us to celebrate her, and to remember her for them, as well as for her capacity to evoke love, in her own family (for whom she cared dearly), among her many friends, among her colleagues and fellow Christians; I would want us to remember her as a reconciler and a peacemaker. Blessed are the peacemakers, says the Gospel, for they shall be called the children of God. 43

Margaret Cecilia Godley Margaret Godley, who died on 28 August 1980 at the age of 82, came up to St. Hugh's in 1919 after a year driving ambulances in the First World War. In 1922 she obtained a second in Modern Languages and took her M.A. degree in 1945. Life really began for her after leaving Oxford. She travelled widely in India, and on her return she joined Miss Neville Rolfe as co-founder of the House of Citizenship at Ashridge. Here school-leavers, from many countries, were taught the working of the British Constitution.

After the Second World War she joined Miss Wood in a Cotswold manor house and the 'Look and Learn' venture began. School-leavers who did not know what they wanted to do in life were taught for a year, civics, comparative religions, and political theories and were taken to visit police courts, prisons, and other similar institutions.

Anne Durning Holt Anne Durning Holt, who died on 5 August 1980 aged 80, was the eldest daughter of the late Sir Richard and Lady Holt of Liverpool. Brought up a Unitarian and a Liberal, these two principles she followed all her life, and despite her great wealth were the basic influences which governed her actions. Educated at St. Paul's School she came up to St. Hugh's in 1919 and read Modern History. She was an intellectual and a person of rare quality. She travelled widely, especially in America (where her mother was born) and there obtained material for her life of Joseph Priestley which was published in 1931. In 1930 she assisted the late Colonel Wedgwood in his researches into the History of Parliament for a Committee of the House of Commons. At the request of the Unitarian Church in Liverpool she wrote her second book Walking Together: A Study of Liverpool Nonconformity, published in 1938. She became in 1955 President of the Unitarian College in Manchester. Anne Holt with her love of life and interest in people had a few very close friends, for she did not give her friendship readily. By these friends and her family she was deeply loved.

She eventually retired to her home in the Cairngorm country in Scotland and was rarely seen without her dog, who became a great solace because of her increasing deafness (which had started in childhood) and, by 1979, his barking was the only sound she could hear. By the spring of 1980 deafness was complete and she could not hear one single sound. This infliction she bore with great courage but it cut her off from contact with others although she always welcomed visitors to her home. To the end she maintained her interest in historical research. When death came it came quickly. She had a stroke from which she never regained consciousness and died two days later.

Dorothy L'Estrange Malone (nĂŠe Neal) Dorothy came up to St. Hugh's in 1923 to read English. After several terms it was borne in upon her friends that this quiet self-contained member was a prodigious worker, not only at her studies but also at the numerous activities which attracted her. Her many talents and her determination to lead a full life caused her to engage in tennis, riding, rowing, debating, public-speaking, music, and acting. This ability to excel in anything which took her interest remained with her to the end.

Secretarial posts with several people in the public eye occupied the next few years, and the decision to read Law brought her a delightful set of rooms in Gray's Inn. During the war she joined the W.R.N.S. and was posted to India where she became senior education officer. She returned with a wealth of entertaining and racy stories.

From then on for some years she held various posts of distinction, and later she and her adored second husband travelled extensively and adventurously, even penetrating the ancient city of Petra.

But it is not so much for her distinguished posts that she is remembered by her College friends but for her devoted efforts in keeping in touch with all the members of her year. In the 1930's she circulated a series of news letters, and after the war she took infinite pains to renew as many of these contacts as possible. It was entirely due to her that the extremely successful Jubilee Weekend and Dinner were held in 1973.

We always regarded Dorothy as a most stimulating and amusing companion, capable of reducing her listeners to helpless laughter with her witty and colourful anecdotes. Her loyalty and sympathy made her a most stalwart friend, and her long illness and death in 1979 saddened all who knew her. S. J-C.

Margaret Llewellyn Lewis The following tribute appeared in The Times on Wednesday, 29 October 1980, and is here reproduced by permission, and by permission of the Governing Body of Howell's School, Ed. Margaret Llewellyn Lewis, O.B.E., who, after a sudden illness, died in Cardiff on 17 October, had been headmistress of Howell's School, Llanduff, for thirty-six years until her retirement in 1977.

She was educated at Malvern Girls' College and from there went up to St. Hugh's College, Oxford, as an Exhibitioner to read English. She played tennis for the University and was awarded her Blue for lacrosse and for swimming. She taught at the Alice Ottley School, Queen Ethelburga's School, and Pate's Grammar School before being appointed headmistress of Howell's at the early age of 31.

45

In the year of her retirement she had the great satisfaction of knowing that her school would become a member of the Girls' Public Day School Trust. In that year also she was appointed O.B.E. for her services to education in Wales.

An invaluable member of committees, Margaret Lewis made her contribution to the Welsh Secondary Schools Association, the Joint 4 and the Association of Headmistresses. She was a member of the Council of the University of Wales Institute of Science and Technology and was recently elected Chairman of the Gwent and Glamorgan Branch of the Oxford Society. A former international player, she never lost her enthusiasm for lacrosse and was currently both President and Chairman of the All Wales Ladies Lacrosse Association.

She will, however, chiefly be remembered as a great headmistress. Her concern for the individual, her warmth and affection, her shrewd common sense, her manner which could be dignified without the least trace of pomposity, her tremendous sense of fun, all these qualities endeared her to generations of Howell's schoolgirls and to the members of staff who served under her.

Judy Dorothy Ursula Curteys Weston `Judy' Weston, who was at College from 1936 to 1939, died on 25 June 1980.

After graduation she took a Teacher's Diploma, and during the war she taught at Athlestan Girls' School in Winchester. After the war she tested her vocation in the Community of St. Mary the Virgin at Wantage. She very much enjoyed her experience of teaching children 'in care' during that time, but she could not adjust to the 'aloneness' of Community life.

So she left from the Novitiate.

In 1949 she joined the staff of St. Leonard's School for Girls in St. Andrews, Scotland, an independent boarding school. Here she taught English for over fifteen years, and was head of the Department from 1950 to 1965. The girls found her teaching stimulating and imaginative.

Sadly, she became ill during 1964-5, and had to give up her work. Later she taught for two years at Woodford County High School, but became ill again, and had to give up teaching. However, from 1971 to 1980 she worked first as a House Matron, . and then as Head Mistress's housekeeper, at the Alice Ottley School, Worcester, where she died.

Judy was deeply interested, all her life, in deprived children, and supported a child through the 'Save the Children Society'. She was a convinced Christian, and the desire for commitment to Christ showed itself in a continued longing for the Religious Life. In 1970 she made her submission to the Roman Catholic Church, and in the last years of her life she was a daily communicant. She belonged to 'Amnesty International', and spent 46

much time in prayer for prisoners of conscience, and in writing to them.

She loved the countryside; walking in the Cotswolds was her great joy during the last decade of her life. She also enjoyed writing poetry, and often seemed to be in a world of her own, far removed from today's turmoil. She had a very pleasant sense of humour, and before illness lowered her vitality, she enjoyed life, and helped others to enjoy it.
