THE events of the past year have meant so much to us all that it is not easy to give an adequate account of them. In November 1918 the Armistice roused the greatest enthusiasm in Oxford, and during a week of bright sunshine flags gave a note of brilliant colour to the City, while we shall all remember the pealing of the bells on Armistice Day, and the striking of the church clocks through the night. The end of war conditions gave a stimulus to Oxford life that was much needed in a term full both of work and anxieties. Influenza had a paralyzing effect on the University, and college life was considerably disturbed for a time. We had welcomed to our staff in Michaelmas Term Miss E. M. Spearing, M.A. London, formerly Fellow of Newnham College and Lecturer at Bedford College, as an Assistant Tutor in the English School ; and her long practice as a V.A.D. during the war made her a most valuable helper in the emergency caused by influenza. Before the end of the academic year the Council appointed Miss Margaret Shaw, B.A. London and First Class Honours in French, Oxford, to be Tutor in French from Michaelmas


18 /919. The growth of the College and the great pressure on our space also decided the Council to purchase a house (4, St. Margaret's Road) as an overflow house for students. The Fourth Year students move into it next autumn. At the General Meeting of the College this year we had a somewhat larger attendance, and a garden party to which Old Students were invited to meet the Council and other Oxford friends, brought together about five hundred people on the afternoon of the same day. At the General Meeting, the members of Council elected were Miss Ady, Mr. Nichol Smith, and Miss E. M. Talbot. Professor Adams, who has taken a great interest in the College, but who has been much away from Oxford during the war, was not able, to our regret, to stand for reelection. Mr. Baynes, whose connection with the College has been a very long one, and whose great kindness and ungrudging help as Treasurer will be remembered by all who worked with him, has also resigned through the pressure of other work and increasing fatigue, and we can only thank him most heartily for all he has done. The Council afterwards co-opted Miss Gray Allen, whose generous help in the matter of a contribution to salaries and constant interest in the College has been gratefully acknowledged by the Council, together with Mr. Burrows and Miss Mary Venables. Old Students will be interested in the decision which places all their membership subscriptions in the College Scholarship Fund ; they will feel that their membership of the College is not only a strength to the College and to themselves, but also provides practical assistance to those students who are successful in the Scholarship Examination. It may perhaps be useful to explain in what exactly membership of the College consists, and what are its duties and privileges. Anyone can apply for membership of the College who has fulfilled the following conditions :i. Residence in College must have been kept for at least two years. 2. A Final Honours School or the Certificate of Merit in Letters or Science must have been taken, or a complete Pass Course. 3. A member must be prepared to subscribe to the College Funds as follows :— Either (a) a life subscription of A-3 ios. Or (b) seven successive terminal subscriptions of ios. each, Or (c) an annual subscription of 5s. The applicant receives a copy of the Constitution of the College and the Annual Report, and is summoned to General Meetings with a right to vote for three members of Council, elected annually. We greatly hope that all students who are qualified to do so will become members and help the development of the college to which they belong. St. Hugh's Club in its turn offers social opportunities to all who have resided in College for not less than a year on payment of a life subscription of 15s. or Is. 6d. annually. The Club Paper is sent to all members of the Club. Subscriptions for College Membership should be sent to the Secretary, St. Hugh's College, and for Club Membership to the Treasurer of St. Hugh's Club. The Senior Student collects the subscriptions of members still in residence. As travelling conditions become easier, we hope that students from a distance will be able to come back from time to time and spend a day or two with us. It will be a help, in our very busy terms, if students likely to be in Oxford will make arrangements beforehand if they wish to see


19 me, and if those who call will avoid working hours (i.e. the morning, and the time between 5 and 7) except by appointment. We hope, if possible, to have a Gaudy next year, when there will be a fuller opportunity for the generations to meet. ELEANOR F. JOURDAIN, PrinCiPa/. CLUB MEETINGS. THE Thirty-Second General Meeting of St. Hugh's Club was held in the Mordan Library, St. Hugh's College, on Saturday, June 21, at 2.15 p.m., Miss Moberly, President, in the chair. The Minutes of the last meeting were read and carried. The following uncontested elections had been announced to members by post :— Secretary.—Miss Greig, proposed by Miss Jourdain, seconded by Miss Gibson. Committee Illembers.—Miss May, proposed by Miss Todd, seconded by Miss Wardale ; Mrs. Elgood, proposed by Miss Gibson, seconded by Miss Greig ; Miss Prideaux, proposed by Miss Moberly, seconded by Miss Jourdain ; Miss Tew, proposed by Miss Clark, seconded by Miss Todd. Miss Ady brought forward a motion standing in her name: "That in view of the proposal to create a Special Scholarship Fund into which all subscriptions for College membership will be paid, the Old Students' Scholarship Fund be merged in the College Scholarship Fund." She said that since a General Meeting of the St. Hugh's Club had last been held, the conditions of the College had changed so greatly that the original organization of the Fund did not adapt itself to present circumstances. The arrangement welcomed by the Club in 1916, " That subscriptions of 5s. and upwards to the Old Students' Scholarship Fund will be reckoned as Student-Members' subscriptions to the College," had proved a working compromise for the " emergency period," but the time for such compromises was over. It was most desirable that College membership should be increased, and the proposal of Council to create a Special Scholarship Fund into which all membership subscriptions should be paid, made it possible for the two to become one. Miss Evans, in seconding, made the suggestion that the Club should appoint a representative to receive any donations from life-members and non-members of the College, and from any annual members who wished to give more than 5s. a-year, to be paid as a donation from Old Students into the Scholarship Fund, and used to augment the Old Students' Scholarship. She said that the name of " Old Students' Scholarship " would be retained, and that the proposal would make for greater ease of administration and would make more permanent the relation between Old Students and the Scholarship Fund. In the discussion that followed, Miss Deneke, Miss Goddard, and Miss Snowdon spoke against the motion, and the President, the Principal, Miss Todd, and the Proposer and Seconder in favour of it. An amendment proposed by Miss Deneke having been ruled out of order as a direct negative, a vote was taken. There voted for the motion 29, against, 4; the motion was therefore carried by 25 votes. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.


20 Present—Committee Members :—Miss Moberly, President ; Miss Jourdain and Miss Wardale, Vice-Presidents ; Miss Evans, Editor ; Mrs. Elgood, Miss Tew. Club Members :—Miss Abdy, Miss Ady, Miss Arbuthnot-Lane, Miss Armitage, Miss A. M. Baker, Miss G. M. Baker, Miss Beaver, Mrs. Bentley, Miss Blades, Miss Bolton, Miss Carmon, Miss A. Clark, Miss N. Clark, Miss Curran, Miss Deneke, Miss Edwards, Miss Gamble, Miss Goddard, Miss Gunnery, Miss Haig, Miss Hind, Miss Hirst, Miss Ingram, Miss Jenkins, Miss C. E.

STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTS. THE Accounts for October 1917—October 1918 unfortunately show a large deficit, owing mainly to the increased postal rates and to the heavy bill for printing, which is almost double that for last year. There are still many subscriptions in arrears, and it is to be hoped that everyone, in view of the large debt, will pay their smaller one. The following members are more than two years in arrears :—Miss F. M. Barton, Miss A. E. Bell, Miss L. Bickmore, Mrs. Fairlie-Watson, Miss G. Hamilton, Miss M. E. King, Mrs. Langston, Mrs. Laws, Mrs. Elgood, Miss M. Levin, Miss H. K. Macdonald, Mrs. MacGregor, Miss W. Mitchell, Miss P. Muscott, Miss D. Puttock, Miss A. Robb, Mrs. Roberts, Miss S. Rogers, Mrs. H. Wilson, Miss M. L. Simpson, Mrs. Teed, Miss M. G. Vaughan, Mrs. Visick, Miss R. Wildy, and Mrs. Yates. The Treasurer would like to suggest that each member should forward her subscription on receiving the Club Paper, and that those who wait for a card of reminder should send an extra penny stamp to cover its cost.

OLD STUDENTS' SCHOLARSHIP FUND. WITH the passing of the resolution standing in the Treasurer's name at the last General Meeting of the St. Hugh's Club, the Old Students' Scholarship Fund enters upon g new phase of its existence. It will cease to have a separate banking account, and all money given by Old Students for Scholarships will be paid into the new Scholarship Fund of the College. In 1918 subscriptions to the Old Students' Scholarship Fund amounted to Z.4.2 I's. 6d., while Z.26 Jos. 6d. was paid in Student-members' subscriptions into the General Account of the College. In future the income derived from both these sources will be paid into the College Scholarship Fund, which will thus be entirely supported by Old Students. It should be possible to increase the Old Students' Scholarship in the near future, and to look forward to having two before long. We have to congratulate Miss Sims on a First Class in History. She is the third Old Students' Scholar in succession to obtain a First. The Secretary of the College will be glad to receive subscriptions to the Scholarship Fund from all Old Students, whether members of the College or not. It seems desirable that there should also be a representative of the Old Students who would undertake to get new subscribers and to keep up interest in the scheme generally. Nominations for this representative will be asked for in time to secure her election at the next Club meeting. It is hoped that all Old Students will co-operate in making the Old Students' Scholarship on its new basis even more successful than it has been in the past. The Old Students' Scholarship was offered for the sixth time at the examination in March, 1919, the emoluments being raised from L'3o to L.35• It was awarded to Miss Ethel Marion Strong, of Moorfield, Plymouth. She proposes to read English, and we wish her every success. C. M. ADY, Treasurer. BALANCE SHEET, 1919.

REVIEWS.

A Book of English History for Children ; Part I. By L. Milroy and E. M. Browne. Blackie & Son, 1919. Miss Milroy and Miss Browne have written a book which is admirably adapted to its purpose, and is, they tell us, " the outcome of many years' experience in teaching little children and in noting what their powers can grasp and take delight in." They have written a complete history of England up to the close of the Tudor period, taking each reign in chronological order, but concentrating in each on those aspects of it which a child can understand. The constant appeal which they make to the eye is especially noteworthy : the child's love of concrete matter-of-fact detail is never forgotten. The only defect indeed which we find in the book is that it makes little appeal to the imagination. Another.recent book on similar lines by a former Oxford student, Miss Bowman's Britain in the Middle Ages, offers an interesting contrast. The excellent illustrations and the successful attempt to bring English History within the compass of a child's thought are common to both ; but Miss Bowman's book is invested with an element of romance, and reads like a fairy tale, while the subject of our review recalls the intimate chronicles of the sayings and doings of real people. Both types of story are dear to children, and the new generation is happy in meeting the history of England in such attractive forms. C. M. ADY. John Donne, PoPte Mystique Anglais. By Mary P. Ramsay. Oxford : at the Clarendon Press. This is an admirable piece of work, which procured for its author the degree of Docteur de l'Universite de Paris. It is an examination of Donne's philosophical ideas, tracing them back to their origin in mediaeval philosophy, which was itself largely influenced by the Neo-Platonic thought which entered the Christian Church through St. Augustine,


23 Gregory Nazianzen, the pseudo-Dionysius, and other early Christian writers. Miss Ramsay gives a short account of Donne's life and works, emphasizing the important part played by his early training under the Jesuits in the development of his mind. She shews how most of Donne's ideas on the Being of God, on the nature of man and of the angels, and of the whole constitution of the Universe can be traced back to St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, or to certain mediaeval mystics. She shews that it is hardly just to describe Donne's mind as sceptical in tendency, as certain critics have done. He always believed that God existed and that truth could be found, though many of his poems shew him uncertain of the direction he should take to find it. Following the lines already laid down by Professor Picavet, Miss Ramsay indicates the debt of mediaeval thought to Neo-Platonic philosophy, and shows how Donne reproduces the teaching of Plotinus on the double movement of the Universe—procession from God and conversion to Him —and on the subject of mystical ecstasy. The former of these themes is treated in some detail in one of the sermons, while the latter forms the subject of a love-poem, The Extasie, in which the technical terms of NeoPlatonism are applied to the rapture of earthly love. Miss Ramsay has followed the development of Donne's ideas in his prose as well as in his poems, but it is unfortunate that in a work otherwise marked by scholarly accuracy there should be a few small errors in bibliographical details, and that she should always quote and refer to the sermons in Alford's slovenly reprint of 1839 instead of using the beautiful folio editions of 164o, 1649, and 166o-1. These, however, are only trifling blemishes, and Miss Ramsay's main thesis is worked out with a thoroughness and skill which will make the book invaluable to future students of this side of Donne's genius.

SENIOR STUDENT'S LETTER. change has taken place in College life since last year. In this A term in particular we have returned in many ways to pre-war conditions. For the first time for five years we have enjoyed the excitement of Eights and University matches, and have lived in an Oxford that would hardly be recognized by those students who have gone down in the last two years. We no longer have lectures at which women students form the chief part of the audience ; the lectures are now so crowded with men that there is hardly room for us. The numbers at St. Hugh's are still increasing ; our First Year is the largest which has yet come up, and includes thirty students. Of these ten are reading History, seven English, four French, four Science, two Economics, one Mathematics, and one Medicine. The Lacrosse Club has grown considerably during the year, and we had our first contest for an inter-Collegiate Lacrosse Cup last winter, but were not so fortunate as to carry it off. The Hockey Cup was again won by Somerville, which also gained the Tennis Cup held by us last year. St. Hugh's provided six members of the Oxford Hockey Team, and two of the Tennis Six that beat Cambridge this summer. On St. Hugh's Day the second year performed The Importance of being Earnest. In the Trinity Term a Dramatic Society was formed, of which the first performance, She Stoops to Conquer, made a profit of £35for the new Hospital for Women. In March Mr. J. H. Squire, Editor of the New Statesman, gave the Literary Society a reading of modern poetry. The College had the great pleasure of a Concert given by the famous Belgian 'cellist M. Doehaerd, accompanied by Miss Meredyl, and Miss King, whose violin has given us much pleasure on several occasions, has given us two recitals. Our thanks are due to the anonymous donor of Z.50 to the Chapel Fund, and to those who have given books to the Library, particularly to Miss Woodward for a very generous donation from her library. Four hammocks have been received from Miss Gibson and Miss Greig, and prove a gift most acceptable to schools people. The College has obtained a house in St. Margaret's Road, No. 4, as a GREAT


26 hostel for Fourth Year students. We are fortunate in having one so near as St. Hugh's to make it possible for Fourth Years to be in no way cut off from College life. In this first year of Peace the College has enjoyed numerous festivities. On the day after the announcement of the Armistice there was a Dance, at which everyone was present. Last term, on March r, the Principal and Senior Common Room held a Reception, to which members of the Junior Common Room were invited ; and this term, on June zi, the Council gave a Garden Party, to which nearly five hundred people came, including many Old Students. The Principal kindly gave us permission to have a Commemoration Dance on June 24. E. L. PATERSON,

Senior Student.

ST. HUGH'S COLLEGE ORCHESTRA. IN the Hilary Term, 1918, a small Orchestra was formed at St. Hugh's, and was at first composed of two First Violins, two Second Violins, a Viola, two 'Cellos, and a Piano when required. Since then it has met almost every week except in the Trinity Term, and has played at the College Musical Society's Terminal Concerts. Miss Venables, the leader of Dr. Allen's Orchestra, and a member of St. Hugh's College Council, has been extremely kind in helping us in various ways and in coming to play when possible. The Orchestra is rather larger now, and it is beginning to play with a certain amount of ease and a great deal of enjoyment such things as Handel's Water Music, Giles Farnaby's Suite of Pieces from the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book, movements from Mozart's Pianoforte Trios, Morris Dance tunes, etc. It justified its existence in the Hilary Term, 1919, by playing to accompany the talking at the first large College party since the War. It was so successful in fulfilling its purpose that it could not be heard, so great was the vigour of the party. Towards the end of the same term the Orchestra and a small choir practised Miss Jourdain's setting of Emile Cammaert's " Epitaphe." KATHLEEN I. HIND.

LETTERS FROM OLD STUDENTS. WE have had a wonderful year at Magila, in German East Africa, for all the work

which the War seemed to have shattered has revived again. The answer to the taunt of the Germans, " There is no God, and your religion is dead," was the enrolment at Magila of seven hundred new catechumens in one year, and the ordination of seven new African priests. To my great grief, I have had to resign my work in the Universities' Mission, but I am thankful for the privilege of having worked in it for seventeen years. Miss Cornish has won her rest, and I am now out of the running ; I wonder if St. Hugh's will provide new workers to take our place ? DORA C. ARDV. Two days before the Great War broke out I was appointed to the post of Lady Warden of the Hostel for the Women Students of University College, Nottingham. After five years' struggle in very inadequate premises under very difficult circumstances, we have at last acquired a site for the permanent buildings of the Wc men's Hostel. We had hoped to be settled into it by next session, but owing to delay in getting the plans passed by the Board of Education, and difficulty in getting labour and building material, we shall have to be content with our present quarters for another year. The new Hostel has an excellent garden which the staff and students intend to work entirely themselves. We discovered during the war that many


27

students honestly preferred gardening to games, and found in. it more scope for their talents. This is an entirely self-governing community, and regulations are reduced to a minimum. Of course the students make muddles, but on the whole they manage their affairs very well, and it is far better to have some practical experience of the d fficulties of self-government than to theorize about it. Domestic labour is very scarce in a large industrial city like Nottingham, and consequently everyone has to take some small share in domestic work, which in these days no one looks upon as incompatible with Honours work. It is true that games, gardening, domestic work, concerts, lectures, and other interests in addition to taking a Teacher's Diploma and a Degree within the space of three years make the student's life a strenuous one, but we have discovered during the last few years how much we had underrated the endurance and adaptability of human nature. Some have not the physical strength or the mental ability to accomplish all this, and these take a two years' course , but it is better to be a well-equipped Elementary teacher than an inferior Secondary one. Nottingham University College is well on its way, we hope, to acquiring its charter and becoming the East Midland University. It is even more important that our methods of University teaching should be reformed. The students have far too many lectures and not nearly enough time for reading and thinking. I do a little incidental lecturing in EngliAt. Literature and Language for the Honours students, but in this respect I am not overworked, but realize that they are. -INEZ DE CASTRO. I made my first appearance in a military hospital at the Connaught Hospital at Aldershot in September, 1916. We were very busy all the winter with medical cases from the camps round. At the end of March, 1917, orders came for six V.A.D.'s to go to Salonika, of whom I was one. We had orders at first to start from Avonmouth, but as soon as the party was all collected there it was thought unsafe to take two hundred nurses all at once by sea, so the next morning the whole party was dumped on the platform of Bristol Station, and everyone had to fight for her own kit, and in many cases to carry it to the right train herself. Our next start was more successful. We crossed from Folkestone, and after a rather tedious (and hungry) journey across France, arrived at the Rest Camp at Marseilles—a most picturesque camp in a pine wood. There we waited nearly five weeks, and almost gave up hope of ever getting further. However, we eventually started again in three sections. I was one of the last section. We were in a large transport with two or three thousand troops, and were escorted by Japanese destroyers, who brought us safely to Alexandria. After a short fortnight there we re-embarked for Salonika, and joined our hospital early in June. The hospital was in a most delightful position about five miles out of the town, and was a good deal higher ; from parts of it we could see across the harbour and bay to various mountain tops, one of which was said to be Olympus. The whole camp was under canvas, and we found our experiences at Marseilles very useful. The only drawback to life was that from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. it was absolutely impossible to escape from the mosquitoes, in spite of nets and many other precautions ; as a result, there was a good deal of sickness among the staff, and we were very busy nursing malaria cases till about the end of November, when the cold weather put an end to the mosquitoes for the time. During the.winter we found ourselves unpleasantly exposed to the North winds. On one occasion the hospital was nearly blown down. My own tent went, and we found it by no means easy to extricate ourselves, Fortunately the wards all held up, but on one side the patients' beds were wet half-way down ; no one, however,


28 was any the worse. There were a good many bad storms, and sometimes it was almost intolerably cold ; but the bad weather was broken by lovely intervals, in which we were able to tidy up, mend our roads, clean our boots, and get our washing done. Having got through one summer safely, I was the more annoyed at being one of the first victims of malaria the next summer, and in June, 1918, I was invalided home. I was one of a party of sixteen Sisters, and travelled in the lap of luxury in a hospital ship. I. M. C. DRUITT. My husband and I and our little son are still living in Johannesburg, making money to put into our farm, which absorbs it like a bottomless pit. It is an orange farm, and the orange industry has suffered seriously through the war, as it has been impossible to export any fruit. However,'we are devoted to our farm, and hope that it will really pay well one day. It is in a most beautiful part of the world—rather like North Wales in its scenery, and with a climate like that of the South of France. My sister-in-law, who lives there, has started a marmalade factory to use up the oranges that are too small for the market. The 'output has increased enormously, and this year she has orders for over a hundred tons. She runs it 'quite alone with the help of Native girls, who are very slow and stupid, but work well enough with a good deal of supervision. The best part about a farm is the number of industries that can go on there sideby-side. Some day we hope to go and live in ours, and then we are going to keep poultry for the Johannesburg market, and grow tobacco, cotton, monkey-nuts, and many other things. In the meantime I have a pleasant post as Lecturer in Chemistry at the University College here. I like the work immensely, but it is very different from Oxford. One thing that the students find it impossible to realize is that Oxford and Cambridge allow women to take the same examinations as men, and yet will not give them a degree. Such an attitude is quite incomprehensible to them. ELLA MCGREGOR. The most interesting experience I have had since leaving College has been giving Lectures to the troops. My first attempt was with the Australians on Salisbury Plain. I had heard so many:stories of their behaviour as audiences, that I suffered agonies of nervousness before my first lecture. It was quite unnecessary ; they make ideal audiences—keen, jolly, and athirst for information. I had to be prepared for anything. One day a deputation representing all ranks motored over from a big New Zealand camp some miles away, and asked me to come over to them. I arrived to find my lecture advertised in most unconventional posters, to which a personal description of myself was added. I had an audience of nearly a thousand men packed into a long narrow hut. The C.O. and others made facetious and embarrassing speeches. Then I lectured, if I remember rightly, upon Russia. Finally, after more speechifying, I was presented with a huge bottle of sweets from New Zealand. As they were unprocurable here, the men had thought I would prefer that to a bouquet. The N.C.O.'s then gave me supper, and the evening finished with a long moonlight drive home in a lorry, to which large numbers of my audience appeared to be adhering. Lecturing in France was not quite so amusing, though as far as recreation was concerned it was possible to have a very gay time. I found the men more restless ; in the towns there were other attractions besides lectures. I found contingents back from Russia and Egypt the keenest. I did not have too exalted an idea of the value of the lecturing. The most to hope for is that the men may combine an hour's interest and amusement with a little instruction about nineteenth-century history. MARGERY F. PERHAM. KNOTT, TYP., BROOKE ST., HOLBORN
