It’s one of the particular pleasures of the job thatevery two years, I get to visit our North American

alumni. Given the vast distances involved, it’s alwayshard to put together a viable itinerary. Visiting Boston,New York and Washington in quick succession inApril this year was almost literally breath-taking.Three major cities in five days was perhaps over-ambitious for our Development Director, Sue Broers,and me. Next time we will allow a little longer and visitthe West Coast and Canada too.

But, as Dylan Thomas used to say, to begin at thebeginning. Harvard, where I was lodged in J FKennedy’s old rooms. Full of memorabilia—oldnewspapers of the era c.1940 when he was a studentthere, photos of JFK with his contemporaries—hisantebellum typewriter, the books he read, wrote andinspired and much besides. The reception and dinner inBoston were very well attended, though we had adramatic medical incident (requiring the intervention oftwo Trinity medics who happened to be of our number),which fortunately proved not to be life-threatening.Nevertheless, congratulations to our medics for copingadmirably until the emergency services arrived.

In New York, the University was holding the biennialalumni event onto which almost all colleges graftthemselves. We held our own dinner which attractedlarge numbers in proportion to Trinity’s size and ledinto a very lively discussion of Trinity’s future plans.The University had brought over some art treasuresfrom the Ashmolean, including a painting by Titian,drawings by Michelangelo and Raphael, and Greek andRoman coins, following its success two years ago inbringing over one of the four pre-1300 ‘engrossments’of Magna Carta, held by the Bodleian. One of our ownprofessorial Fellows, Fran Ashcroft, who recently wonthe L’Oréal-UNESCO prize for Women in Science forEurope, gave an inspired and inspiring talk on herground-breaking research into ion channels and theirrelevance to tackling neo-natal diabetes.

In Washington, another of our professorial Fellows,Craig Clunas, Professor of the History of Art, gave oneof his prestigious A W Mellon lectures on ‘ChinesePainting and its Audiences’ to a large audience, whichincluded Trinity Old Members. Craig then joined Sueand me in hosting an engaging dinner for ourWashington alumni. All in all, on our trip we probablymet nearly 20 per cent of the US-based alumni forwhom we have records. Our international students are asignificant part of our alumni base. In particular, theymake up well over half of the MCR, withrepresentatives from every continent, and play anincreasingly influential part in college life, the last fourMCR presidents and the last six junior deans on themain site for instance. One of the advantages of our

new building will be our ability to house many moregraduates on the main site.

We returned to Oxford for one of the wettest Trinityterms anyone can remember. Not much croquet played,the Lawns Play dampish and no rowing for three weeksas the river was deemed too high and too dangerous.The potamoi (or was it Isis herself) were appeasedsufficiently to relent and allow Summer Eights to takeplace on schedule. Which was just as well as Trinityhad a vintage year. The Men’s 1st VIII and theWomen’s 2nd VIII both won blades (nine bumpsbetween them), the college had the highest averagenumber of bumps of any college, and the Men’s 1stVIII’s performance took them back into the firstdivision for the first time in over twenty years. AfterEights Week, the rains returned with a vengeance whichmay have been a boon to our finalists, who found littlein terms of outdoor distractions. Twenty-six Firsts, onemore than last year, supports the theory.

On top of the Summer Eights success, we had a Blue inboth the men’s and women’s Blue Boats for the secondyear running, in the shape of Kevin Baum and CharlotteTrigle, though the men’s Boat Race itself is bestforgotten. Last year’s Blue, Constantine Louloudis,rowed in the British men’s eights at the Olympics towin the bronze medal, and Trinity is very proud to havean Olympic medal winner amongst its currentmembers. It’s been quite a gap since our lastOlympians. Mike Hogan (1961) competed in the 1964Tokyo Olympics and Bonnie St John (1986) was in theInnsbruck Paralympics of 1984 where she won threemedals. Mike Baldwin (1963) was a referee at theBeijing Olympics and has been involved again thisyear, as a ‘National Technical Officer’ at Dorney Lake,and two younger members, Robbie Hyland and AndrewBennison are also amongst this year’s volunteers (page 6). And of course my predecessor, MichaelBeloff, has regularly acted as arbitrator at the Olympicsand Commonwealth Games since 1996.

This past term was the last before retirement for twolong-serving Fellows, Clive Griffin, Fellow and Tutorin Spanish, who came to Trinity in 1975, and GusHancock, Professor of Chemistry and Tutor in PhysicalChemistry, who arrived the following year. BenMcFarlane, Fellow and Tutor in Law also leaves us,while Bernd Kirchheim, Professor and Tutor inMathematics, left at the end of Hilary term. We wishClive, Gus, Ben and Berndt well in their respectiveretirements and professorial chairs.

One of the highlights of the term was the recentlycreated Humanitas Visiting Fellowship inhistoriography. Saul Friedländer is one of the leadingscholars of the Holocaust and his keynote lecture filledthe Examination Schools. We are lucky at Trinity to be

At University level, the highlight of the term wasundoubtedly Encaenia, the University’s celebration ofits honorary laureates, at which Aung San Suu Kyi wasfinally presented with the honorary doctorate she hadbeen awarded nineteen years earlier. ‘A star shining inthe East’ as described by the Public Orator, she gave awonderful unscripted address to a spellbound audiencein the Sheldonian. I spoke to her shortly before the

ceremony recalling a college production of Much Ado

about Nothing we were both in together back in 1965.Now that was a long time ago.

On 4 May, the President and Luis Juste, DirectorSantander Universities UK, signed a generous

funding agreement between Trinity and Santander.

Without Santander Universities’ financialcommitment, the college would not have been able toappoint Dr María del Pilar Blanco, who succeeds DrClive Griffin on the latter’s retirement at the end of thecurrent academic year. For the duration of Santander’ssupport of this post, the Governing Body has agreedthat Dr Blanco will be the Santander Fellow and Tutorin Spanish.

A rather lower-key event was a jointtalk by the Domestic Bursar and meon the Falklands War to students,staff and several Old Members*.John Keeling was a young captainthen who fought throughout thecampaign from the San Carloslandings to the surrender in PortStanley. I was a middle-rankingdiplomat tangentially involved. It’shard to take in that almost withoutexception none of our students wasalive when it took place. It seemslike yesterday to me.

Constantine Louloudis (pictured on the front cover),who took a year off from his studies for a chance to

compete in the Olympics, has rowed in the British men’sVIII to win bronze. The crew faced an enormous challengecompeting against key rivals Germany, unbeaten in thepast four years and three-times world champions. TheBritish boat was in close contention and led briefly beforethe Germans moved ahead to take gold and Canada cameup quickly to take silver.

The crew aimed for gold and from the outset kept upwith the German boat until the Germans’ final surge.Setting out to win almost certainly caused them to loseout on silver, but despite the crew’s evidentdisappointment, the college is rightly proud ofConstantine—Trinity’s first Olympic medal winnersince the 1950s—and his fellow crew members fordetermined ambition and outstanding achievementagainst formidable opponents.

At the end of Hilary term, Access and AdmissionsOfficer Robert (Robbie) Hyland (2007) ran a

programme of events designed to build links withschools in the North East, including Durham, Darlingtonand Stockton-on-Tees. Robbie gave several well-attended presentations at local secondary schools,speaking about the Oxford admissions process andapplications to Higher Education; the talks weredesigned to encourage interest and enthusiasm from aregion of the UK which is often under-represented atOxford, and to de-mythologize the potentiallycomplicated business of application and interviews. Thepresentations led to useful and interesting discussionsranging from the controversial topic of fees to morepractical student matters, such as the quality of food atTrinity! During the course of the visit, Robbie spoke toover 250 students, parents, and teachers from the region,and established links which can be developed andstrengthened in future years.

The following week, in conjunction with host collegeSomerville, Trinity was able in turn to welcome aboutthirty Year 12 (Lower Sixth) visitors from a range ofschools in the North East who were attending a three-day residential visit. By living, working, and eating incollege facilities, the students were able to get a valuablesense of the student experience, and to develop theirthoughts about their university applications. At Trinity,the visitors were invited to tour the college, meet currentstudents, and take part in a personal statement workshopin which they put themselves in the position of Oxfordtutors. Both of these visits form a small part of Trinity’swider overall strategy for attracting good candidates tothe University from an under-represented region withwhich the college has historic links.

In advance of the University-wide Open Days in lateJune, Trinity welcomed a group of fifty students and

teachers from schools in our link regions for aresidential visit, giving them the opportunity not only toexperience a flavour of university life through academictaster sessions, but also the social side of life at Trinity, courtesy of current undergraduates who hadoffered to help. This visit was supplemented by theOpen Days themselves at which the many visitors had the opportunity to speak to the tutors in their chosen subjects.

In July Trinity temporarily acquired (after a fashion)two paintings by Manet, albeit only identical copies

of a painting, currently on display at the Ashmolean,and not quite in College, being fixed to the outside ofthe Broad Street railings and the Parks Road gates.

Ten life-size replicas of Edouard Manet’s Portrait of Mademoiselle Claus (1868) were displayed at tensites across the city centre as part of the final stagesof the Ashmolean’s successful campaign to raise £7.83 million to keep the picture in Britain. CraigClunas, Fellow and Professor of the History of Art(pictured with the ‘Manet’ on the Parks Road gates),joined Dr Christopher Brown outside Trinity to lendhis support to the campaign and explain the benefits ofacquiring the picture for the Ashmolean and itssignificance for future academics and visitors.

TRINITY’S MANETS

Michael Papadopoulos, Davidge Organ Scholar,has been announced one of two joint first-place

winners of the new Bate Recording Prize, awarded toundergraduates in the Faculty of Music who haveengaged with the Bate Collection of MusicalInstruments in historically informed performance.

Michael’s entry was an Allemande in D minor byHandel. He played this on the Smith harpsichord,dated 1720 and donated to the collection in 1990, andwhich, according to legend, was owned by Handel. Anaudio clip of the recording can be found on the BateCollection website, www.bate.ox.ac.uk.

To commemorate International Women’s Day on 8 March, the MCR invited Trinity’s very own

Professor Frances Ashcroft to speak about herillustrious career to students, staff and Fellows.Professor Ashcroft’s talk was both engaging andinsightful as she spoke about her upbringing beforediscussing her time at Cambridge University and herearly career as a research scientist. Her explanation ofher work on the treatment of neo-natal diabetes wasboth accessible and incredibly inspirational—therewere very few dry eyes in the Danson Room when wewere shown a video highlighting the dramatictransformation in life quality for one of ProfessorAshcroft’s young patients. Throughout the talk,Professor Ashcroft gave generous and warm advice tothe young researchers in the room (both male andfemale!) and many of the humanities students leftwishing they had followed a career in the sciences!Professor Ashcroft was the perfect ambassador forTrinity on this important day and all the attendeeswelcomed the opportunity to continue theconversation over a glass of wine after the talk.

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAYAs the President has written (page 2), there have

been Trinitarians involved in non-competingroles at the Olympics over the years, including RobbieHyland (2007), the college’s Access and AdmissionsOfficer, and current student Andrew Bennison, theJCR Access and Bursaries Rep, who are among thevolunteers at London 2012.

As a ‘Medal and Flower Bearer’, Robbie’s role is topresent the medals and flowers to the officials duringthe victory ceremonies, before the officials awardthem to the winning athletes. Robbie is part of a teamof twenty-seven responsible for delivering victoryceremonies on the Mall for the Olympic games (themen and women’s cycling road race, the women’smarathon, the men’s 50km walking race, and themen’s and women’s 20km walking races), and at theOlympic Stadium for the Paralympic Games.

Andrew has been part of the Event Services Team atWimbledon, involving different tasks, includingchecking tickets, helping with seating, providinginformation to spectators, and, most importantlyAndrew feels, being friendly and welcoming tovisitors from all over the world. It will have been hardwork and long days, but he hoped to catch a glimpseof some great tennis!

Robbie and Andrew are two of 70,000 volunteers(officially ‘Games Makers’), out of 250,000 whoapplied to volunteer.

At the end of April, Trinity hosted Professor SaulFriedländer when he was in Oxford as the

inaugural Humanitas Visiting Professor inHistoriography. The Humanitas Programme, created byLord Weidenfeld, is a series of visiting professorshipsin the arts, social sciences and humanities.

One of the world’s most eminent historians of theHolocaust, Professor Friedländer delivered a lecture toa large audience in the Examination Schools on‘Trends in the historiography of the Holocaust’; thewelcome and introduction was given by ProfessorShearer West, Head of the Humanities Division, andDr James McDougall, Trinity’s Laithwaite Fellow andTutor in History.

Professor Friedländer is the author of a large numberof historical studies, and of a remarkable memoir,When Memory Comes (1979). His two volume Nazi

Germany and the Jews (1997, 2007) is widelyregarded as a definitive study of the subject; thesecond volume, The Years of Extermination, won the2008 Pulitzer Prize for non-fiction.

Each year undergraduates elect the winner of theDavid Evers Prize, choosing one of their number

who exhibits the fellowship, sportsmanship, character,generosity and good humour which give substance tothe distinctive Trinity style. The Prize was establishedthanks to a bequest from an Old Member.

Ashmit Thakral was this year’s winner. Commentingon the award he said, ‘trying to express the mostimportant part of your life in a few lines, pages, or evena book just seems impossible. There is something aboutlying on the lawns, hearing familiar voices outside yourwindow, smelling the air of the Wilderness (and less soof the Library), that just can’t be expressed in words.Most importantly though, I’ve realised it’s abouteveryone here that I’ve got to know. The people I’vemet and come to love, have influenced and inspired mein so many ways that any number of words could nevertruly reflect what their friendships mean to me.’

KYOBUGOMBE REVISITED

In 1998, a team of six Trinity undergraduates and I setoff for Western Uganda to fund and help build a

Health Centre in the village of Kyobugombe (under theauspices of AICM—African International ChristianMinistry). The centre has served the local communityvery well since then, saving sick villagers a six-kilometre walk for treatment and providing not onlymedical support, but also a venue for health education.

Unfortunately, following the Trinity team’s departure,political disputes broke out over who should beresponsible for the care and maintenance of thebuilding. By now it should have been the local DistrictMedical Officer, but he protested to me (on my visit in2011) that he hadn’t got the money. On my visit lastyear I found that serious problems had developed. Inparticular, the lack of guttering had resulted in seriouserosion below the eaves, exposing the foundations andthreatening a real danger of the building, or part of it,collapsing if nothing was done. That’s the bad news!

The good news is that when the President mentionedTrinity’s involvement with Kyobugombe at the JCR’sCharity Committee, there was an enthusiasticresponse, led by Rebecca Newman, to the idea ofmounting a relief expedition to rescue theirpredecessors’ labours by securing the foundations,providing guttering, and by buying and havinginstalled a large rainwater harvesting tank. As onprevious occasions, the intention would be to employsome local people to avoid any impression of takingaway local jobs. The students are busy raising fundstowards the costs of travel, materials and labour.

Emeritus Fellow and former chaplain Trevor Williamshas revisited the Health Centre in West Uganda builtwith the help of Trinity students.

CookeryPlus is a Trinity-run volunteeringprogramme where students from across the

University take the bus to the John Watson School inWheatley once a week and cook with them. Thechildren are aged 8-18 and have a range of disabilities.We cook a variety of dishes, both sweet and savoury,and the teachers tell us that the children are alwayslooking forward to our visits. The programme wasfounded by a Trinity student and most volunteers arefrom Trinity as well. At the end of the academic yearwe invite the children and their families to College fora garden party, which is thoroughly enjoyed by all.This year the garden party went really well, thanks tothe amazing weather, and we had a children’sentertainer, lots of ball games, bubble machines, andPimms for the parents.

Over the past six years, Trinity has developed acareers system providing advice and practical supportfor current students and Old Members interested inchanging their career.

Working alongside the wider University, the Trinitycareers network has become increasingly

important and is something we are keen to promote.This online facility, set up by Tom Blomfield (2003)when he was working in the Alumni & DevelopmentOffice, can be found at www.trinity.ox.ac.uk/pages/alumni/careers-page.php and includes anonymousdetails of members who have volunteered to giveadvice. Users are invited to look at profession, company,location, subject studied, age and personal profile tohelp them identify the people they wish to consult.

Once a request to contact people has been submitted,the Alumni & Development Office asks the advisersbefore releasing their names and email addresses.After that, it is left to the individuals concerned todecide whether to proceed by an exchange of emails,a phone call or, in some cases, a meeting.

How do we find volunteers to give advice?

While some Old Members and Friends have kindlyoffered their services without prompting, the singlemost useful method of recruiting volunteers is theannual telethon. Student callers talk about the network

CAREERS NETWORKand those willing to get involved are then contacted bythe office.

Experiences of the network

Current students and Old Members who have used thenetwork have found it extremely helpful to be able tocontact people with experience in the field or in acompany that interests them.

Olivia Grimshaw (2010) says, ‘Inpursuing my own interests in acareer in law, the network hasallowed me to contact directlysome senior members of firmsI’m interested in for invaluableinformation on the applicationprocess and the culture of thefirms themselves…I think it’s afantastic resource and supportnetwork, which I will definitelybe using in future.’

Why do Old Members and Friends choose to take

part?

Bronek Masojada (1985) says that it’s easy to explainwhy he was willing to offer help. ‘There is a lifebeyond the Magdalen roundabout, though it canappear daunting and opaque to an undergraduate. It iseasier to understand and conquer if you have a guideand I am happy to play the role of a part-time guide.’

Katrina Hart (née Preston, 1992),who has been asked for advice onmany occasions, adds, ‘The jobmarket seems to be so tough,even for really talented graduates,that I am keen to be of any help toTrinity students. In the currentclimate, contacts probably mattermore than ever, so making themost of our incredible network isa really good place to start.’

As Heather Chen, (née Wright,1996) explains, ‘Nearly fifteenyears ago, I was a student atTrinity wondering what career topursue after I finished myEconomics and Managementcourse. I thought thatManagement Consulting soundedvery interesting, but I had no ideawhat it was really about.Surrounded by academics and

teachers in the University and at home, there was no-one close at hand who had much of a clue either. Assuch, I found myself blagging my way through an

interview for a summer internship with very littlebackground knowledge. I was lucky enough to get aplace and I really enjoyed it. Not long after, I signed acontract to start work the following year. Internshipplaces are few and far between and not everyone isready to think about career options in their second year,so I hope that I can provide an alternative wherestudents can come and find out about what a career islike in Management Consulting. In return, I get to meetsome bright and talented young people who inspire meto approach my work with refreshed enthusiasm and,on occasion, one or two of them may join and add tothe success of the company for which I work.’

We have over four hundred volunteers from more thanfifty sectors, ranging from scientific research anddevelopment, through law to shipping and transport,but we are always looking for more people to supportthe network.

What else can you do to help?

When there is an active and enthusiastic JCRAcademic Rep, like Olivia Grimshaw in the past year,the Alumni & Development Office can provideassistance in finding speakers and arranging events. InJune, Adrian Michaels (1987) spoke to a large groupof current students; all enjoyed listening and somewho had not previously considered the option, wereinspired to think about a career in journalism.

Adrian writes, ‘Students mayhave attended an Oxford collegebut they’re still facing a brutaljobs environment when they getout. Careers advice—how to getstarted, what working life reallyentails, skills you need, questionsyou should ask yourself—ismore valuable than ever. Themedia remains an incrediblypopular choice of career in spite

of the fact that most media companies, particularlynewspapers, are in deep financial trouble, have out-of-date business models and are battling deep attackson their reputations. I thought it might be useful totalk about some of these issues: explaining how hardit is now to forge a reasonably-paid career in themedia, but also of course how much fun it can be.I’ve been fabulously lucky—fifteen years at theFinancial Times and four now at the Telegraph in awonderful variety of jobs—and hopefully I was ableto communicate some of my enthusiasm in spite ofthe grim outlook and conditions that exist in much ofmy industry…

‘I did find that students know very little of the mostbasic information needed to get on in a media career.

That wasn’t a surprise—I didn’t know anything eitherin their position and I didn’t really know where to goto find out—but even after a year in any job, peoplewill have already accumulated a vast store ofknowledge that would be extremely useful at anycareers event.’

Stephanie Lear (2008), a formerJCR Academic Rep, believes thatarranging careers talks hasbecome increasingly important inrecent years. ‘In 2010 talks weregiven by not only Old Memberssuch as Bronek Masojada, CEOof Hiscox, but also parents ofcurrent students: Trinity hosted atalk by the then CommunicationsDirector of

private equity firm 3i, PatrickDunne. Moreover, students wereinvited to apply to attend a dinnerin the Old Bursary hosted bySimon Martin (1980), who isManaging Partner at the law firmMacfarlanes.’

And firms such as PWC, whoseconnection to Trinity comesthrough Richard Setchim (1973),often choose to hold theirOxford-wide recruitment eventsin College.

Internships and Placements

Some Old Members and Friends,in addition to offering advice, canoffer short term placements,which are exceptionally useful inproviding experience of work in aspecific field.

Recent graduate Matt Wills (2009) used the systemduring his final year. He writes, ‘I believe Trinitystudents are very lucky to have access to theexcellent careers network. Through it, I was able toarrange a week’s internship with MadeleineSturrock, the wife of Philip Sturrock (1966), whoruns PanCathay Consulting, a prominent Londonconsultancy focusing on helping British and Chinesebusinesses explore opportunities in each other’scountries. As I would like to continue working onSino-British business and cultural relations, I wasable to gain a fantastic insight into PanCathay’swork. I would strongly urge current students toexplore the possibilities afforded by the careersnetwork.’

And the benefits are mutual. AsMandi Sturrock put it, ‘PanCathaywas delighted to have Matt Willsas an intern in its London office.He was able to bring his own skillsto the position—especially in IT.We were particularly pleased thathe got us started on Weibo, theChinese Twitter. I have alwaysfound that internships bring ussome unexpected ideas making

this a truly two-way process.’

James McGrigor (1981) has employed a number ofTrinity students on a temporary basis and feels that thishas been a rewarding exercise for all concerned. ‘I run amanagement consulting firm focused on globalisinghealthcare practices and funding. We have multipleprojects of varying scale, most of which involveresearch into foreign markets. Often these come at shortnotice. Usually they last for 8-12 weeks. Almost alwaysthey require a foreign language as we typically have toread through much written research and then interviewexperts and in-market practitioners. My full-timeconsultants understand the industry and know what isneeded to get the job done, but we can’t afford to keepmany field researchers on the books as the projecttiming and geography are so unpredictable. Trinitystudents, especially graduates, can be a great solution.They have the languages...They certainly have theability to do targeted, speedy and well summarisedresearch, if pointed in the right direction. They also havethe social skills and drive to do call programmes andinterviews to get the information required. And, as theyhave trained analytical minds, they can often offer auseful perspective on the challenge at hand and how tocrack it.

‘Conversely, they are pleased to get a short spell ofintense practical experience as a junior managementconsultant on their CV. This comes with a certainamount of task specific training, some support toolssuch as interview guides, and a conscious effort to givefeedback and help during and after the project…SueBroers has always been very fast in finding resources;the three times I have used this route, we have had threesuccesses.’

Olga Shvarova (2007) was one of the first Trinitystudents to benefit. ‘The idea of a short-term placementwas tested in 2008, and I worked for James McGrigor ona market research project—with tight deadlines and a lotof time-pressure, but one that was easy to approach. Ihad an excellent briefing and everyone from the team Iworked with was very fast in responding withdocuments and other information, which enabled me towork efficiently. The best part of it, as I now understand,was that only the relevant documents were passed to me.I did not have to deal with a heap of information

unconnected with my task. James and the members ofhis team were available via mobile; I felt confident thatin an emergency I could contact them directly to seek

advice. The project itself wastricky in terms of finding out theways to collect the information,and again James was happy todiscuss various strategies andduring the very first briefing, wedecided on the plan of action,which proved successful. At theend of my task I sent back thereport in the form of a collateddatabase with all the informationrequested and it was well received.

‘I have now finished my DPhil and after a short time asa post-doc at my department I am looking to change mycareer path. The positive experience I had working withJames has made me lean towards a career inmanagement consultancy, as I genuinely enjoyed thefast pace, the efficiency and, even after a few days, afeeling of getting some tangible results.’

We are happy to advertise internships or other posts onthe front page of the careers network and, if requested,to post them on Facebook.

‘Success in life eventually belongs to those who

take the initiative’

Someone who ask for contacts should then follow up:the volunteers in question are expecting to be contacted.The discovery that one has to email a senior executive ina leading company may seem alarming, but the point isthat no matter what the status of the adviser, there is ashared college connection and the adviser has indicateda desire to help Trinity students and alumni. BronekMasojada sums this up with a timely reminder, ‘Thething is, success in life eventually belongs to those whotake the initiative. It doesn’t matter how you definesuccess, the need for initiative remains’.

In May the Alumni & Development Office sent out aquestionnaire to all 4,700 Old Members for whom

College had contact details. The exercise is provingvery useful in ensuring that the database is accurateand errors and old details are corrected. Sarah Beal(2003) has been providing valuable assistance,processing the returned questionnaires. We are verygrateful to all those who have sent back their forms so far; for those who have not, it is not too late!Updates can also be submitted via the website:www.trinity.ox.ac.uk/alumniupdate.

Over the last year many Old Members will havehad contact with Hannah Cox, herself an Old

Member (2008), as she managed, with bubblyenthusiasm, the increasingly busy programme ofevents. Hannah has had a longstanding interest inworking in education and an opportunity to join theTeach First programme this summer was too enticingto resist. We hope to appoint a new events person intime for the Trinity Society Weekend and to start workon next year’s events!

In the meantime, in April the office welcomedAndrew Clinch as the new Administrative Assistant,succeeding Linora Lawrence, who retired last year.Andrew comes to Trinity after eleven years ofworking for a travelling circus, both as anadministrator and as a clown! (Andrew can be seen

reprising the latter role in the photo on page 12.)

EVENTS

Hannah Cox

The first event of the Easter vacation was a newRecent Leavers’ Dinner, giving those who hadmatriculated in 2003 or later the chance to return foran informal dinner. Those attending enjoyed a buffetin Hall, followed by drinks in the beer cellar and manythen continued partying at other venues nearby. Moreformal events followed, beginning with the Gaudy forthose matriculating between 1966 and 1971, swiftlyfollowed, the next evening, by a dinner to mark the

retirement of Peter Brown, Fellow and Tutor inClassics from 1968 to 2011, and to celebrate his forty-three years of teaching at Trinity. It was no surprisethat Hall was full to capacity. Easter was followed byevents held in North America, reported by thePresident on page 2.

The two Parents’ Lunches took place in May on verydifferent spring days, one cold and wet and the other,unusual for the first half of this year, pleasantly warmand sunny. The choir provided entertainment beforelunch, performing pieces from the forthcoming CD.The latest Trinity Society Informal Drinks inLondon was another very successful gathering ofmembers from across the generations. An eagerlyawaited return to Exeter for a dinner for membersliving in the South West, following the very enjoyableoccasion in 2008, saw over thirty members and guests

enjoy dinner and the chance to catch up with newsfrom Trinity.

In June, the annual Ralph Bathurst Society Dinner

was preceded by a concert given by OxfordPhilomusica, under the direction of MariosPapadopoulos, and some of Trinity’s talentedmusicians. The concert was brought to a rousing close,with Handel’s ‘Zadok the Priest’, complete withtrumpeters on the Hall balcony.

Dire predictions by the weather forecasters of yetmore rain suggested that the Family Garden Party,the first in three years, would be a rather soggyoccasion. However, welcome evidence that weatherforecasting is not an exact science came in the form ofa warm and mostly sunny summer’s day, and thelawns were filled with over 350 members and theirfamilies relaxing on the grass, playing croquet, boulesand with toys, enjoying a delicious tea whileentertained with music performed by current studentsTanya Sen and Tike Omissi. Clunky the Clowndemonstrated his magic and juggling skills with comicstyle, a Pimms tent provided adult refreshment, and aScavenger Hunt and poetry competition offeredmental stimulation for all ages.

The marquee and other evidence of the entertainmentswas cleared away in time for the Fifty Plus Years On

lunch the following day. For the first time memberswere invited to bring guests to the lunch, particularlyso that those unable or unwilling to make the trip toCollege on their own might be able to attend. Hall wasfilled with members from 1939 to 1962, thoughregrettably there was not room for everyone whowould have liked to attend.

The Garden Party and Fifty Plus lunch are just two ofthe events that have seen an increased attendance andthe downside is that the number of places is limited bythe capacity of Hall and other spaces. We look forwardto seeing as many of you as possible at events in thecoming months, but do please book in good time toensure a place.

THE OTHER SHAKESPEARE Shakespeare’s birthday was marked in Oxford thisyear by a performance of The Other Shakespeare,a new one-woman play about Shakespeare’s wife,Anne Hathaway, written by Roy Chatfield (1963)

and directed by Ian Fintoff (1957).

The play was performed in a suitably ancient roomin The Mitre by Johanne Murdock, who, as Anne,chatting, raging, dreaming aloud and singingduring the play’s ninety minutes, brought ashadowy historical figure to life. There are plansfor further performances, including, it’s hoped, inOxford.
