DR VENN

JOHN ARCHIBALD VENN died in the President's Lodge at ~eens', on 15 March, at the age of 74, almost exactly eighteen months before he was due to retire from the Presidency, which he had held for twenty-seven years. He was a native of Cambridge, keenly interested in the history and well-being of the city; President of the Cambridge Antiquarian Society, a magistrate, a member of the Borough and City Council both before and after the Second World War, and for several years Chairman of the Agricultural Wages Board for the County. But he was also well-versed in national and commonwealth affairs, from his work in the Ministry of Agriculture in his middle thirties, down to his service in the important Commission on Higher Education in the Colonies after the war. Above all, the traditions of the University were in his blood; his grandfather was a Fellow, and Dean, of Q!eens', his father was President of Caius, and he was himself educated at Trinity. He was Gilbey Lecturer in the History and Economics of Agriculture from 1921 until he reached the Uni­versity retiring age, and author of The Foundations of Agricultural Economics; but his great work was the Alumni Cantabrigienses, begun in collaboration with his father, and carried on by himself to its conclusion a few years ago. His academic work was thus marked by the same breadth of interest as his whole life; but he took particular pleasure in following the footsteps of a famous ~eens' man, Thomas Fuller, the seventeenth-century historian of the University. His favourite author was Sir Thomas Browne, whose appetite for antiquarian curiosities he shared. The Doctorate of Letters was conferred on him in 1929, shortly after the com­pletion of the first part of the Alumni, and it was natural that the University should have appointed him its Archivist, a post which he held until his death. His public services were acknowledged two years ago, when he was appointed a C.M.G.

:But it is for his services to Q!!eens' that he will be remembered chiefly. His care for the fabric of the College was as eager and effective as that of his predecessor in the Presic½ncy. As Junior Bursar he had begun the work of modernising the College buildings; and as President he took the lead in the policy of

I

providing all Q£eens' undergraduates with two years' residence in

College, achieved for a short time before the war, and now again

to be achieved, it is hoped, by the new building to be erected on

the Backs. Up to the war, he was solely responsible for admissions

to the College, through the period of the slump, when in some

years there were hardly enough applicants to maintain a steady

intake; yet the level of the College was maintained and even

raised during this period. It was on his advice that the College

agreed to house the pre..clinical students of St Bartholomew's

Hospital during the war; wise advice, indeed, as the College

afterwards found when they compared their situation with that

of many other colleges, and happy advice which was a know­

ledged by his election as a Perpetual Student of Bart's after the

end of the war. When the Bursar was called away for war service

Venn took over his duties, and performed them for many years,

to the great financial advantage of the College. Yet all this time

he was active in University administration. He was on the

Council of the Senate from 1934 to 1943, and it fell t him to

hold the office of Vice-Chancellor in the anxious middl · years of

the war; a thankless task, but one for which Venn was particularly

well suited, since he was not only experienced in the ways f the

Civil Service and of government, but also had little taste for the

pomp and ceremony of office, which was in abeyance at th · time.

But his great days as President came immediately after the war,

when the College was filled with a generation of undergraduates

of remarkable distinction, and the number of Fellowships J1ad

risen to double what it was when he was elected.

Perhaps Venn's best gift was his ability to delegate responsibility.

He trusted the College officers, and never interfered with the

details of their work, though he was ready at all times to support

and help them if they asked it of him. In spite of his brisk and

forthright manner, he was a shy man; he did not seek confidences,

but was pleased to receive them. He loved to tell his memories

of an earlier Cambridge, and anecdotes of older days, the raw

material of the Alumni. And in conunon with many shy men, he

liked to disclose small pieces of odd information about himself;

as that he had never possessed a top hat, or that he could not

reconcile himself to seeing so mean an animal as a pig being carried

2

by motor transport. His vanities were not about great things, but about small ones; for instance, that though he was one of the earliest motorists, he had never been convicted of a motoring offence. He was unfailingly kind to those it was in his power to do good. to, even when he did not like them; but he was apt to respond to hostility with coldness. He had strong prejudices, most of them perhaps deriving from his evangelical ancestry, but he never consciously allowed them to affect his conduct of College business. He was enormously ambitious for the College, not at all for himsel£

He married. Lucy Ridgeway, daughter of the great Sir William Ridgeway, in 1906. She inherited her father's [rish outspokenness, his shrewd humour, and his warmth of heart, which endeared her to everyone who knew her. Her meticulous care of the Lodge was worthy of that beautiful house, and indeed a great service to the College, carried out as it was often with her own hands. Like her husband, she had been very ill in the last few months of his life, and she only survived him for nine days. L.J.P.

THE COLLEGE APPEAL

Mr Basil Spence's final plans for the New Building have now

been com.mended by the Fine Arts Commission and approved

by the Governing Body. The Building will contain forty-three

bed-sitting rooms and one Fellow's set. A model of the building

is now on view in College, and any members of the College

who visit Cambridge are invited to inspect it; a photograph is

enclosed with this issue of the Record. It is hoped to begin work

at the end of June this year. The architect further encourages us

to hope that the building will be ready for occupation in the

Michaelmas Term, r96o. It will thus be seen that the important decision to proceed has

now been taken. The Governing Body realises that, so fur, about

half the sum of £100,000 which the building is expected to cost

has been subscribed, or promised, in the very generous response

to the Appeal. But, so far, considerably less than half of our

members have responded to the Appeal and the overning

Body has therefore felt able to make the decision to go forward

in the belief that further strong support will be givc1 and that

eventually the total will be reached. The total sum hitherto subscribed or promised is £48,213 .

THE SOCIETY

Mr Armitage was well known to the College as a Fellow since

1946, and latterly as Senior Tutor, and his unanimous election

Assistant Director of Studies in Mechanical Sciences.

GIFTS TO THE COLLEGE

(AdJilional to the Library List)

The Rev. Professor H. Martyn Sanders (1887), Foundation

Scholar of the College, Prebendary of St Paul's, has presented

a framed photograph of the Old Chapel as it was in 1887.

8

Captain E. M. Usherwood, D.s.c., R.N., has presented an oil painting of the Grove, formerly the property of his grandfather the Rev. Canon T. E. Usherwoocl, Q!eens' (1864).

The Governing Body of Emmanuel College has presented part of a breakfast and tea service, with views of Q!eens' College. This had been given to them by Lieut.-Gen. Sir Bertram R. Kirwin, K.C.B., C.M.G. .

The family of R. J. Price have made a further gift of £10 in his memory.

Legacies

The College has benefited by the following bequests: Mrs Plaistowe, widow of F. G. Plaistowe, a former Fellow and

Librarian, has left £1000 for use in connection with the Library. W. D. Lorimer (1924) has left by will the sum of £250. H.J. W. Stone (1929) has left by will a silver salver.

THE FABRIC

An interesting development m the Fitzpatrick Hall is the equip­ment of a small room off the upper hall as a 'bar' for serving coffee, beer and sherry. This room was formerly used only as the green room for plays. Since about 1953 it has housed the T. V. set presented by Pyes, which has now been moved into the upper hall itself. When plays are giv;n by the Bats in December and March in the upper hall, both bar and television move temporarily into the lower hall a.nd table tennis is played in the squash courts.

The rebuilding of the Silver Street bridge has given us an opportunity to examine the foundations of the adjacent Essex building .. The excavations for the bridge foundations went some two feet lower than the timber sleepers on which the stone foundations of the Essex building rest, and it was clear on mspec­tion that they had remained in good order since the extensive underpinning of 1938. The steel pipes through which cement grout was then pumped in to consolidate the foundations were still visible. C.-S.D.

THE UNITED CLUBS

President: Mr W. Hagenbuch Treasurer: Dr M. M. Boll. Vice-President: J. F. Cunningham. Hon. Sec.: C. J. Hawthorn.

Junior Treasurer: S. G. Partridge.

THE BOAT CLUB

Captain: J. L. H. Ward. Secretary: J. A. Barker.

Vice-Captain: P. J.M. Morrison. Assistant Secretary: R. E. Emms.

Rowing during the Michaelmas Term was slightly disorganised by an epidemic of i.n:fiuenza. The crew of our Light IV fell victims to this epidemic and the scratch crew which rowed in the race was beaten in the first round. At the end of the term the Fairbairn VIII put up a creditable performance by moving up into fourth place.

The Lent Boat, after a term of hard training, made two bumps, and is now sixth on the river. During the Lent Term J. L. H. Ward again rowed in the Goldie Boat.

A rigorous training programme was organised for the May Boat, but the crew never found their form, and hopes of going ahead were soon dismissed when we were bumped on the first day's racing. In all, the boat was bumped four times, and is now sixth on the river. This year, for tl1e first time, we had an eighth boat on the river; this crew made an excellent debut by recording four bumps and so winning their oars.

At the Marlow and Henley regattas, the First VIII showed an improved performance, but was not fast enough to progress very far in either the Marlow Eights, Challenge Cup or the Ladies Challenge Plate. A IV formed from the second May Boat was taken to Henley and acquitted itself gallantly in the Wyfold Challenge Cup.

RUGBY UNION FOOTBALL

Captain: C. J. Van der Lande. Hon. Fixtim-Secretary:

R. G. Reynolds.

Hon. Secretary: P. J. Walsh. Committee Member:

]. D. W.bite.

It was at once apparent at the beginning of the season that there was not the same reservoir of talent in the College as in recent years, and the course of events proved this to be true. An wi­

fortunate crop of injuries, and the ravages of Asian 'flu, prevented the Club from ever assembling a full strength side throughout the season. The only success in the League was against Emmanud and we finished with thirteen players on that occasion. The Second and T.bird XV' s, in the Second and T.bird divisions of the League, were altogether out of their depth, and. all three teams were demoted. Only the ~eens' Q!!eries added to their reputa­tion with a series of resounding victories.

In the Lent Term there was an all-round improvement. However, our first Coppers match was against a strong Christ's side, and, though beaten, we did well to hold them to a single try, the score being II-O. R. D. Marques made his fourth appearance in the University match, and P. E. Copus, very unlucky to miss his Blue, was elected. to the LX Club. In the Lent Term, B. D. 0. Smith and M. Lane played a few games for the University and LX Club respectively.

The Club toured Devon over Easter, and it is hoped to repeat a very successful visit in 1959.

ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL

Captain: T. J. Buchanan. Hon. Secretary: D. J. Rix. Committee Member: J. D. Brett.

Following promotion in the previous season, Q!!eens' performed creditably in 1957-8 and established themsdves in First Division soccer. In the Michaelmas Term five of the nine League matches were won, and one drawn, and the team finished in sixth position in the table.

16

In the Lent Term the Club again had a successful run in Cuppers and narrowly missed appearing in the final for the second succes­sive year, losmg in the semi-final by the odd goal in three. The Second XI also reached the semi-final of the League Cup competition.

H. R. nsh had the distinction of being elected. captain of the University Football Club and played for the third time against Oxford at Wembley. J. D. Brett was elected. Secretary of the Falcons and T. J. Buchanan, J. N. Watson and R. K. Lowe each made appearances for the Falcons.

HOCKEY

Captain: D. J. Buckton. Hon. Secretary: 0 . Johnson. Committee Member: R. A. Broughton.

The First XI started the season well with fine wins over St Bar­tholomew's and London Hospital but was subsequently weakened by illness and injury and just managed to remain in the top division of the League by beating Caius and Trinity Hall, and forcing a draw with a strong St John's XI.

In the first round of Cuppers Q!!eens' beat Pembmke before narrowly losing to St John's, the eventual winners of the competi­tion. Well supported from the touchlines, Q!!eens' lost a man in the early part of the match and played pluckily to concede only two goals (one of them from a penalty bully) to a side containing many Blues. All the other matches in the Lent Term were won, with the exception of one against St Catharine's.

The Second XI dropped only two points in winning its League, but once again failed to replace Emmanuel IT among the first elevens, this being its only defeat in the Lent Term.

The Third XI had a good season, winning most of its match.es by considerable margins. This season saw the birth of a Fourth XJ, 'The Q_uakers • with a :fixture list both social and serious.

College tours this year included the Second XI's visit to the Folkestone Easter Festival and the First XI' s successful week in Hollan.d, where four matches were won, one drawn and one lost.

17

J. F. Cunningham continues to play for the University as an old Blue, and 0. Johnson has been elected to membership of the C.U. Wanderers Hockey Club.

CRICKET

Captain: J. M. Cartwright. Secretary: P. D. Cowell.

The prospects were extremely good, with rune old colours left from the previous year. As results showed, we had a very success­ful season, winning ten matches, and losing only two. This success can be put down to the fact that we were a well-balanced team, with no outstanding players whose personal failure would have meant the fulure of the side. Our best performer with the bat was Belchamber, whose average was (ry . The captain, J. N. Watson, besides leading the side very effectively, set an extremely good example on the field by taknig 3 I wickets at 7 runs each.

A TH LET IC CLUB

President: D. E. Palmer. Secretary: R. G. Reynolds.

Traimng at Fenners during the bleak winter months was inspired by the thought of the new track being built at Milton Road. There will be few athletes who will be sorry about the change.

In the College competitions in the Michaelmas term, Q!!eens' finished sixth :in the relays and fifth in the field events competition. Asian 'Hu was raging at the time and this made regular training difficult.

The main College competition of the year-Coppers- was held on bitterly cold February afternoons and saw ~eens' struggling to avoid relegation from the First Division. Our sprinters an~ jumpers saved the day, and we live to fight another year.

The membership of the Club remains very healthy.

18

LAWN TENNIS

Captain: R. J. Lindsay. Secretary; C. J. Hawthorn. Committee Member: J. L. Ramsden.

In the League the First VI had their best season since 1955. They won all their matches .and were promoted. having been relegated for the past two years. The Second VI also won all their matches, and they too will be in a higher division next year.

In the Cuppers singles competition, the team managed to beat Sidney and Jesus before being beaten by St Catharine's. In the doubles they were defeated by St John's in the first round.

RUGBY FIVES

Capt.ain: G. S. Hawthorn. Secretary: J. Murrell.

The season's Rugby Fives has been more outstanding from the individual's point of view than from the Club's. The captain and secretary both played well and represented the University Sparrows. In the Coppers, with a team of these two supported by M. D. Grundy and A. H. Slater, it looked as if we might do well, but unfortunately we met a strong team from Trinity and were beaten in a fairly close match.

ETON FIVES

President: N. Potter. Hon. Secretary: J. M. Swales.

Although la.st year there were less than half-a-dozen players in the College, we always managed to hold our own in the periodic matches against St John's College. This year, with numbers more than trebled, we should have a very successful season. The main event of the term has been the resurrection of the College Court; although some of the details of its structure are probably unique, it compares favourably with the University Courts at Por_tugal Place. Members have been practising or playing on most fine afi:emoons during the latter part of the term.

I9

SWIMMING

Captain: M. D. Grnndy. Secretary: M. Prettejohn.

It was not without much difficulty that the College managed to

raise a team to enter the Water-Polo Coppers. We were drawn

to play St Jolm' s College in the first round and the match, which was played on Saturday, 22 February, resulted in a win for

St John's. Free-style Relay Coppers were held at the Leys Baths in May, and Q.!!eens' came fourth out of seven entries. At the

Medley Relay Coppers held later in May, ~eens' came fifth out of nine entries. M. D. Grundy was asked to swim for the Uni­

versity against Oxford in June.

SQUASH RACQUETS

Captain: D. L Shaw. Secretary: P. F. Dale.

Dnring the last year, as in the past, squash has been played with

great enthusiasm. This is due in part to our having two good courts, both situated in College. We still have three teams playing

in League matches each week. At the end of the Lent Term our first team was promoted from the Third to the Second Division, and our second team from the Fourth to the Third Division.

Our third team held its place in the Sixth Division. In the Coppers we again reached the semi-finals, but were

defeated 3-2 by Magdalene. J. L. Ramsden was in the team which won a 4-1 victory in the University match, and he is tlris ye.ar's University Squash Racquets Secretary.

RlfLE CLUB

Captain: J. W. Howard.

There were five members of the Club last year, which can safely be claimed to have been one of our mo.st successful. On the

Small-Bore side, R. Cumming was Captain of the University in

its win over Oxford by a record score; C. T. S. Belk was also in this team, and won the Cambridgeshire ·22 Championship in

20

the Winter League. D. Miller and J. W. Howard were in the Second VIII. The College came first and second in the McDonald Cup, the ·22 Cuppers, shot by pairs.

R. Cumming represented the University in muzzle-loading revolver and clay-pigeon shooting,. and was awarded his Half­Blue for membership of the Match Rifle Humphrey Cup team, in which he made top score. He was also top scorer in the international Match Rifle competition at Bisley.

R. Bates reached the O!!een's 100 and J. W. Howard was in the S.R. (a) team to shoot against Oxford.

C. T. S. Belk, who was the Hon. Secretary of C.U.R.A. and is now the Captain, won the Caldwell Cup in the Michaelmas and Easter Terms. He represented the University in muzzle­loading, revolver and clay-pigeon shooting, and was reawarded his Half-blue for membership of the team for the Chancellor's plate, won by Cambridge. He was 23rd in the ~een's 100.

In the summer he was a member of the Great Britain Rifle Team which toured Canada, and, among other awards, won the Governor-General's prize, the Canadian equivalent of the ~een' s prize. On his return he won the North London Rifle Club Championship.

CHESS

President: D. G. Rowsell. Secretary: R. H. Goodall.

The Chess Club played., as usual, in the First Division of the Cambridge and District League and in the inter-college Cuppers competition. All those who played in the league matches selected. them for a display of their worst form and only one match was won and one drawn out of twelve. As a consequence of this disastrous lapse from our normal form, we were relegated to the Second Division, where we have been carrying all before us.

We did very much better in the Cuppers, winning four out of five matches in the preliminary rounds, and thus qualifying for the final pool. There we lost to the very strong Selwyn and Trinity sides, beat Pembroke and Christ's and drew with Caius. We finished fourth out of six. ·

R. C. Kennedy was selected to play for the University in their

2I

annual encounter with Oxford on 22 March, and distinguished himself with a crushing victory. Later, in the summer, he re­presentedlrelandinan International Team tournamentinBulgaria, and playing on top board was matched. against many of the world's greatest players. The experience, we may conclude, was salutary.

TAB LE TENNIS

Captain: D. F. Wheatley. Secretary: M. D. Grundy.

The Table Tennis Club has been enlarging rapidly, and all the tea.ms had a successful season. The first team, consisting of J. Duncan and D. F. Wheatley, the Captain and Secretary, together with a Freshman, M. D. Grundy, had an unbeaten season, and were promoted to the First Division. A strong second team just failed to gain promotion also to the First Division, and were · joined in the Second Division by the Thitd Team.

It is hoped that this position may be even further improved in the coming year.

BADMINTON

Captain: D. R. Candlin. Secretary: M. R. Etheridge.

Last year the Badminton Club had a lean year for members, few Freshmen joining the Club. However, the Club still ran two VI's. The First VI held their position in League II but the Second VJ, lacking talent, were threatened with relegation.

This year the Club has expanded greatly,. and now has over twenty members.

GOLF

Captain: P.H. Burleigh.

There was a revival of interest in Golf during the year, and the Society-had a large increase in the number of members. The Club held two matches against Peterhouse, one match being lost and the other drawn. In the Michaelmas Term a College Knock-out

22

,competition was held which was won by D. I. B. Hoare, and in the Lent Term a stroke competition was won by J. L. Ramsden. J. Chiene is to be congratulated on being elected to the Stymies and on playing for the University.

ST BERNARD SOCIETY

President: C. Grammer. Vice-President: M. Joseph. Secretary: N . Joseph.

The usual series of debates and discussions took place at regular intervals under the presidency of T . D. Ross. Subjects discussed included 'Mens Sana in Corpore Sano', Communism, Apartheid, Home Rule for Scotland and Wales, Cupid in Academic Dress, and Pacifism. Attendance varied in size but speeches were generally of a high standard. Visitors to the Society included Keith Mc­Innes (President of the Union Society}, Terry Higgins (President of the Gonville Hall Society), Miss Lawson and Miss Watlcins (of New Hall), and Dr Maxwell and Mr Wilson. The ladies were entertained to dinner by the Committee prior to the debate on Cupid in Academic Dress. T. D. Ross and N. Joseph represented the Society in a debate at Christ's on The Merits of Modem Entertainment.

The Society owes a debt of gratitude to T. D. Ross who guided it safely tluough a difficult period, and whose presence added much to the tone of the debates. If, during the period 1957- 8, the Society can be accused of lacking ambition, it did not lack solidity.

ST MARGARET SOCIETY

Vice-President: M. R. Smith. Secretary: R. F. Hatch.

During the past year the Society has continued to be active in pro­viding music for the College. In the Michaelmas Term Manuel Villet gave a recital in the Fitzpatrick Hall which was almost too well attended. Anne Keynes and Mrs Potts on her harpsichord gave us a very pleasant Sunday evening. The College Chorus has performed Bach's Jesu Priceless Treasure and Dyson's Canterbury

23

Pilgrims. Sunday Concerts have been well attended and the new Tuesday Instrumental and Vocal Recitals have continued to attract an appreciative audience. The St Margaret Singers have provided items for concerts throughout the year. The May Week Concert was a very pleasant occasion and was enjoyed whole­heartedly by audience and performers. An exciting Trio for Brass by Glasser, Madrigals by Benet and Wilbye and Brahms's Clarinet Q_uintet were followed by the very appropriate Ode far the Birthday of QE.een Mary in 1694, 'Come ye Sons of Art' by Purcell. The evening was rounded off by a programme of modem part-songs given on the river by the Cantilena Singers.

'THE BATS'

President: M.J. W. Caven. Vice-President: D. G. Murray. Secretary: R. H. C. Lindley. Junior Treasurer: R. L. Brown. Committee Members: C. J. Hutchinson, W. Habibullah.

Stage Director: M. Williams. Musical Director: Dr J. W. L. Beament. Senior Treasurer: Dr E. A. Maxwell.

Many new members joined the Society at the beginning .of the

Michaelmas Term and throughout the year all its activities were

vigorously supported. Play readings in particular have been

25

held frequently, and producers have found them most helpful in selecting the right people for terminal productions.

An extremely amusing Smoking Concert was closely followed by M. Cohen's production of Ugo Betti's The Burnt Flowerbed. This was a most original choice in the best 'Bats' tradition, and th.e only criticism levelled. against it was the smallness of the cast, which precluded more than one or two Freshmen taking part.

The Lent Term production was a decided success, entitled Peacocks and Poker-A Diversion. It became in producer J. Good­rich's hands a revue with a most distinctive glamour. Script and lyrics were by P. Joscelyne, and music by N. Tyrrell-Evans. n1e show phyed to full houses and well-deserved applause.

May Week in Cloister Court saw R. Smith as a conscience­stricken Angelo and C. Hutchinson the 'Duke of dark comecs'. in C. Hickman's production of Measure for Measure. The producer, assisted by W. Habibullah (and judicious cutting) fully succeeded in making the comedy comic at the right moments; perhaps M. Cave.n's Lucio was largely responsible. Though, in contrast to the year before, rain drizzled gently during all four performances, the production, which was played without an interval, held its audience and did not lack either pace or vivacity.

It was a highly enjoyable year for all the 'Bats', many of whom took R. Smith's production of Twelfth Night down to Pevensey Castle for a three-day run in June, and the Society's reputation in Cambridge remains high.

MALLETS CLUB

Master of the Q±eens' Mallets : R. S. Waller.

We had a very successful croquet season, and on account of the dry weather the equipment was well used. The lawn weathered the season well, although it was not always even, and it allowed a fairly b,igh standard to be reached by several members of the College.

26

LACROSSE

Secretary: D. J. Aidley.

Lacrosse as a College game suffers through being a largely un­known sport which does not attract many undergraduates who have not made contact with it previously. During the 1957- 8 season, however, ~eens' has been fortunate in having eight members of the University Club in College. This is reflected in the Club's retaining the inter-college Lacrosse Cup, which it has now held for three successive years. In the Cuppers matches the Club beat Trinity 8-2, Christ's 6-5, and Gonville and Caius 6-4-No other matches were played. D. J. Aidley was elected captain for the 1958-9 season.

Congratulations are to be given to D. llling on his award of a Half-Blue, and to C. M. Clapham, J. A. Eddy and A. G. Sta.nsby, whose Half-Blues were reawarded.

DINNER IN THE NORTH-WEST

Thirty-eight members of the College attended the eighth Annual Dinner for Q.!!eens' men in the North-West at the Patten Arms Hotel in Warrington on 21 March 1958.

The chief guest was Dr Maxwell, Bursar, who reported the news of the College and gave details of the new building. The other guest was David Marques. The Bishop of Warrington presided.

The next Dinner will be held on Friday, 17 April at the Blossoms HoteL Chester.
