Annual reportSelwyn College Cambridge, 2010 – 2011

Master’s reflectionsOne of the constants in Selwyn is the need to improve the older buildings. Windowsthat do not fit and whistle in the wind, attics that have no insulation, lights that no oneever turns off, boilers that occasionally decide to have a day off without warning; onthe weekend, of course.

since the Bursar has his timecut out keeping us afloatfinancially and the Masterhas nothing better to dothan nose around the placecausing a nuisance, I nowhave the reputation of beingobsessed with plumbingand pipes. this is, of course,an outrageous slight but a

canard that I am happy to accept, just as I amhappy to entertain the absurd idea that my latinpronunciation might have a slight Japanesetinge to it. you simply have no idea of the thingsthe Master of selwyn has to put up with.

Ironically, the big news this year does in factinvolve buildings: Cripps, to be precise; Crippsof fond memory to some, not of fond memory to others. By the time this annual report arriveswe will, I hope, have planning permission for acomplete refurbishment of the building (notbefore time), including an extra 50 rooms, whichwill be generated by filling in the roof line. andsince there is no way we can accommodate the180 inhabitants elsewhere, this will have to behandled in stages and take at least two or threeyears. so yet again, the Master and the Bursarbring upheaval, noise and dust to what isusually a quiet part of Cambridge. the CrippsFoundation has signed up for a gift of £7.5million to help us on our way, but such is thescale of this major project that we shall have toborrow to tide us over. It must be done, however,and it cannot be left any longer; the silver liningis the present state of interest rates.

this year we saw the arrival of sarah Harmer,our new Development Director. there are alwaysdangers of discontinuity with such a change andpotential difficulties if a new Director comingfrom outside is not aware of the sensitivities thatsurround life in a Cambridge College; but sarahcomes to us with prior experience at Clare andher husband is a research fellow at st John’s.

she is therefore only too aware of the foibles of fellows on the one hand and the expectationsof loyal and committed alumni on the other. and committed many of you are; concerned atthe new fee structure that has been put in place;concerned for the future of selwyn. the mostrecent telephone campaign, for example, ran fortwo weeks and raised over £200,000 in gifts andpledges. each time we have such a campaign wehave no difficulty in recruiting a cohort of highlymotivated students, many of whom havebenefitted from previous benefactions and areeager to keep up the pressure. one of you wrotelater asking if on second thoughts you couldreduce the amount pledged but in the samebreath complimented the student who had calledhim on his persuasiveness and enthusiasm. a story like that serves to remind me that we are surely doing the right thing. we continue toneed your support and we shall continue in goodtimes and bad to strive to improve the finances of the College through benefaction, whether it bedirect or via a legacy for the future.

I am happy to report that selwyn remains highin the tables that track academic achievementand it looks as though this is set to continue ifthe record of the present first-year intake isanything to go by. the fellows continue to excelin both teaching and research and with a Bursarchairing the all-powerful Bursar’s Committeeand one of our admissions tutors now in chargeof the university’s admissions Forum where allthe ticklish questions of access and percentagesare hammered out, we are at the very heart ofuniversity policy. the Bursar’s report thatfollows is detailed and informative and willshow you exactly where we are, aware of roughwaters that lie ahead but confident that we canride them through.

Financial reportOverviewMy tenth set of results show a surprisingresilience, given the unfavourable businessenvironment for higher education in general andthe oxbridge colleges in particular. this steadyimprovement in the College's financial situationhas resulted from continued rigorous cost control,including pay and bonus freezes for staff, steadygrowth in the conference business and renewedfundraising efforts.

In the year to June 2011, the College recorded anunderlying deficit of £0.54 million, a 19%improvement over the previous year and a 43%improvement compared to 2009. this strong year-on-year improvement is heartening, but theCollege nonetheless remains intractably in deficit.

Benchmarking exercises with other collegessuggest that selwyn is amongst the mostefficiently run. whilst cost reduction remains a priority, the College must take care not todamage the scale and quality of the educationoffered. as I have pointed out (frequently) in the past, the College's preferred long-termsolution to the deficit is to raise revenue byincreasing the endowment, rather than costcutting and retrenchment at the expense of itseducational mission.

Income for the year rose by 12% to £7.2 million,helped above all by a 23% increase in endowmentincome, along with a 7% rise in fee income, and a9% rise in income from residences, catering andconferences. the corresponding increase in totalexpenditure to £6.9 million was restricted to 7%.Fee income rose by 7% to £1.8 million. thisincrease however was more than offset by an 8%rise in expenditure on education to £2.6 million,

resulting in a further widening of the educationdeficit to £0.8 million. It cost Cambridge collegeson average £7,654 to educate an undergraduatelast year, with the university spending anadditional £10,000 per head. even at £9,000, thefees from students will barely cover half the costof education. excellence has its price.

Income from student rents rose by 5% to £1.7million. Higher utility bills were mainlyresponsible for a 6% rise in related expenditure toamount to £2.0 million. this resulted in a modestincrease in the accommodation deficit. Medium-term rent agreements with the students will allowthe College to recapture these costs over the nextfive years. Income from student catering rose by11% to £0.8 million, whilst the increase in therelated expenditure was restricted to 7% at £1.0million. this led to an 8% reduction in the deficiton the catering account to £0.2 million over theyear. last year's review of catering operations isbeginning to bear fruit.

the College continues to lose money on theeducation, catering and rent accounts. reasonableprogress continues to be made on all fronts, butthese deficits are structural and result primarilyfrom the cost of maintaining our historicbuildings. staff costs also remain high in whatremains a labour intensive operation.

the ability to increase prices remains limited,either by government or welfare considerations.In certain areas, notably conference andendowment income, the College has beenmarkedly successful in growing income over theyears, to the extent that fees for education nowrepresent barely one-quarter of revenues.

the chart shows the importance of bothinvestment income and the out of term conferencebusiness, with the latter in particular benefittingstrongly from the new accommodation that hasbeen constructed.

In recent years, the College has concentratedalmost exclusively on defending its cash flow. thestrong recovery in cash flow from the low point of2008-09 is indeed welcome, and for the first timein many years, the College was this year able tocontribute modestly to endowment from internalresources. solid cost control has allowed theCollege to withstand extremely difficult operatingconditions and remain cash positive. Maintainingpositive cash flow over the long term is a criticalobjective. when cash generation turns negative,the College will have to sell assets or borrowmoney to fund its day-to-day operations. thiswould certainly be imprudent and unsustainable.

Investmentsthe College’s investment portfolio amounted to £30.7 million in June 2011, an increase of 22% on the year, following a good investmentperformance and the receipt of £0.3 million ofnew donations. on a like-for-like basis, theportfolio rose by 13.5% in capital terms asfinancial markets recovered. this, with an incomereturn of 4.4% for the year, produced a total returnof 17.9%, which broadly matched the

performance of the wM Charity Fund Monitor of 18.2% and outperformed the universityendowment Fund’s return of 16.1%. Investmentincome recovered strongly over the year, rising by23% to £1.4 million. the recovery was fuelled byrecovering equity markets and a one-time specialdividend from International power, following itsmerger with GDF suez. this performance rankedselwyn 2nd of the 31 Cambridge colleges.

the endowment has recovered well from the market turbulence. whilst £30 million is a historic high for selwyn, this ranks 24th out of the 31 colleges, with the endowmentrepresenting just under 4% of that of thewealthiest college in Cambridge.

Donationsthe College is dependent on donations andbenefactions to build its endowment and offsetthe losses in its core activities. It is a vital sourceof revenue and the College is, as ever, veryappreciative of the generosity of its alumni. this year the College received £0.3 million inunrestricted donations, which form part ofendowment Income in the Income andexpenditure account; last year it received£0.2million. In addition, the College received£0.3 million in donations for capital purposes;last year it received £0.6 million.

colleges, selwyn continues to punch above itsweight, with 30% of the average endowment butalmost 90% of the average student numbers.

the College is about to launch one of the largestprojects in its history: the refurbishment andexpansion of Cripps Court, of which more detaillater. Following the refurbishment of old Courtand the construction of the first two phases ofann’s Court, the proposed works will largelycomplete the upgrading of the College estate.the project will present a major financial andphysical challenge to the College and, with abudget of £17 million, will require the College toundertake substantial indebtedness for the firsttime in many years. the borrowing need hashowever been mitigated by generous supportfrom the Cripps Foundation. Construction willbegin this summer.

we live in rumsfeldian times. In terms of thechallenges facing the College, the known knownsand the known unknowns are largely of a financialnature and the College has prepared for these asbest it can. the unknown unknowns will resultfrom the seismic shifts in the higher educationlandscape. It is not clear how, if at all, the paymentof a £9,000 annual fee will affect the relationshipbetween a student (or will that be service user?)and the College, or whether the disparity inwealth between colleges referred to above willinfluence student choice in the future. Despitethese undoubted challenges, the College retainsthe strong sense of community, purpose anddirection that will be familiar to its old members.

In common with all educational institutions thecomposition of the student body at selwyn haschanged very much over the years and is in someways a far cry from what our founders and earlybenefactors had in mind. they would perhaps besurprised to find so many studying postgraduatedegrees at the College, but would no doubt begratified to discover that these students are drawnfrom all over the world. as to undergraduateeducation, the College’s original aim of providinga university education to those of modest meanshas necessarily been altered by the changingeducational landscape of the country, but ourpresent concerns about ensuring that the best andbrightest students, regardless of their background,have a chance to study at Cambridge does in partecho this intention of the founders.

the undergraduate population of the universityis subject to very strong control by our politicalmasters who are, after all, to a large part ourpaymasters. Despite the considerable privateassets of the university and Colleges, the fundswhich come from government account for avery significant part of our income and so theirwishes simply cannot be ignored. up until thisyear the university has had a contract with thegovernment by which we agree to admit acertain number of ‘Home’ undergraduates eachyear, and also agree to a roughly even splitbetween arts and sciences. there are furthercontrols on subjects such as Medicine andVeterinary Medicine where the supply of thoseentering these professions is regulated bylimiting the number of undergraduates.

In principle, the university and the Colleges canadmit as many overseas students as they wish,since these numbers are not controlled by thegovernment. However, there are practicallimitations on the numbers of students who can betaught e.g. laboratory space and the availability ofsufficient teaching, especially supervision. Inaddition, since it has long been a commitment thatcolleges will house all of their undergraduates incollege-owned accommodation, the number ofrooms available puts a further constraint onundergraduate numbers. In practice, what this has meant over the past decade or so is thatundergraduate numbers have risen only rather

slowly (perhaps less than 1% p.a.), and theproportion of overseas students is rather low ataround 10%. Compared to many universities, who seek to recruit as many overseas students asthey can (in part because of the high fees), this is alow fraction.

Government has been placing universities, andespecially the elite russell Group universities,under increasing pressure to admit morestudents from the maintained sector (i.e.publically-funded schools). recently, theuniversity has had to negotiate a newagreement with oFFa (the office for Fairaccess) which includes, amongst other things, atarget for admissions from the maintainedsector. If we do not meet this target within thespecified time frame, then the university willsuffer significant financial penalties. Having tofulfil quotas just does not chime with theacademic and intellectual aspirations of theuniversity, but the reality is that we have littlechoice but to comply. Key in the strategy toachieving this target without compromisingacademic standards is extensive outreach workaimed at attracting excellent students who, inthe past, have not been applying to us.

the following pie chart gives a snapshot of theundergraduates who arrived in selwyn in theMichaelmas term 2011.

the majority of our students are ‘Home’,meaning that they are uK citizens who have aright to public funding, simply because this is

our contribution to meeting the universitytarget for such students. european union (other than the uK, of course) students make up a small fraction of the whole and also attractpublic funding. Finally, overseas studentsaccount for around 10%. those countries thathave a uK-style education system, such assingapore and Malaysia, tend to feature heavilyamongst overseas students.

For Home students, the breakdown by schoolbackground is shown below:

the maintained sector comprises 66% ofadmissions. the chart shows that Grammarschools, which are state schools with a selectiveentry, continue to perform strongly when it

comes to Cambridge admissions. this is hardlysurprising as these schools tend to have a strongand valued tradition of placing their pupils intotop-ranked universities, and also have theresources and ethos to support such ambition.Comprehensive schools also provide a largeproportion of admissions, but it has to be bornein mind that this category covers a very widerange. For example, a school can still becomprehensive but nevertheless have theadvantage of drawing its pupils from arelatively prosperous area in which the majorityof parents will be in a position to supportacademic excellence in their children. anothercomprehensive might be struggling against localselective schools to attract good pupils. It isperhaps surprising that so few students comefrom sixth Form Colleges, given that around thecountry there are some outstanding institutionsof this kind. It may be that selective schools,with strong academic sixth forms, are able toattract the best students away from the localsixth form college.

as to geographical spread, Home students areconcentrated in the south east of england. of the 110 or so students who arrived in october 2011, five were from scotland, four from northern Ireland and two from wales. of course, there are strong financial disincentivesfor students from scotland to study in england,but attracting more students from outside thesouth east must remain a priority, and indeed

considerable outreach work is focused on this.selwyn remains committed to admittingstudents for all subjects offered at Cambridge.this does mean in effect that for some small artssubjects we may admit just one or two studentsper year, which is essentially selwyn’s ‘share’ of the places available across the university. the following pie chart gives an idea of how thestudents are distributed across different subjects.In order to avoid too many small slices, non-science subjects have been divided into arts &Humanities and social sciences (this latterincludes subjects such as law and economics).

when it comes to those studying forpostgraduate degrees, the picture here is ratherdifferent. there are essentially no controlsimposed by Government: the university can set its own academic standards and priorities.For aspiring graduate students the key questionis ‘who will fund my studies?’. such fundingcomes from a wide range of sources, such asgovernment agencies (principally the researchcouncils), trusts and charities, industry, and overseas governments. It is also commonfor students to fund their own studies for a one-year Masters course – a significantfinancial commitment.

at the graduate level the university is trulycosmopolitan, and you can be reasonablyconfident that there is someone from almostevery country in the world studying atCambridge. the pie chart opposite shows thecountries of origin of graduate students arrivingat selwyn over the past three years.

the uK and rest of europe accounts for the lion’sshare, and unsurprisingly north america andChina contribute significantly. It is interesting

that Middle eastern countries are beginning tosend a significant number of students.

this breakdown of course hides a story of greatcomplexity, which is the extraordinary range ofpostgraduate degrees which are being studied.some will be studying for doctorates in all theusual subjects, but the majority will beundertaking one-year courses, usually taught,leading to an M.phil. of those admitted in 2011onto such courses, the topics included: anglo-saxon, norse, and Celtic; archaeology; asian andMiddle eastern studies; Classics; Criminology;egyptology; engineering for sustainableDevelopment; environmental policy; Humanevolutionary studies; Industrial systems,Manufacturing and Management; Innovation,strategy and organisation; Internationalrelations; Micro and nanotechnology enterprise;political thought and Intellectual History;scientific Computing; social anthropologicalanalysis; theology and religious studies. thislist is by no means exhaustive, but is just aselection of the topics offered at taught graduatelevel across the university.

the composition of the student body haschanged a lot in the last thirty years, let alonesince the foundation of the College. such changeis characteristic of a lively and forward-lookingeducational institution, and we can anticipatefurther development as the university andColleges continue to position themselves asleaders and innovators in education and research.

Development and Alumni Relations

our programme of events for alumni andfriends has broadened commensurately; in 2011,more than 700 of you joined us at one of our 19events, and this year we are hoping to welcomeeven greater numbers to the 22 events we haveplanned. our publications have also beengetting a facelift – some of you commented onthe new design of Selwyn, while others noticedthat the annual events list has been remodelled.Finally, an anonymous donor generouslyprovided the funds for a new database system,which was a much needed improvement. thesechanges are all part of a strategic overhaul ofour fundraising and alumni relations activitiesin order to lay the foundations for a successfulfuture campaign.

Because of the financial pressure exerted by the cuts in government funding and the rise intuition fees, the College is ever more dependenton philanthropy from alumni and we are verygrateful to all those who have donated over thepast year. I have seen many of you personally inthese last twelve months to seek your support,and I have been greatly enthused by the loyaltyand commitment to the College which I haveseen. the generosity of alumni has never beenmore important to selwyn.

the following report details some of the mainachievements of the past year.

Fundraising

During the last financial year (1 July 2010 – 30June 2011), donations of £1,218,609 were receivedby the College and a total of £8,226,220 wasraised in new pledges and gifts. £7,500,000 of thefunds raised came in the form of a pledge fromthe Cripps Foundation for the refurbishment ofCripps Court, which will provide much neededsupport for the project.

although large benefactions can and do have atransformative effect on the College, selwyn’score support comes from alumni making moremodest regular donations. these regular gifts are

crucial because they provide a consistent income,for which we can plan. Currently, almost one insix of you make some kind of donation to theCollege. across Cambridge, the averageparticipation rate last year was 11.5%. as youwill see from the graph below, selwyn was onlyslightly above average for the last financial year;this was because of the six month period duringwhich selwyn lacked a Development Director.However, the first half of 2011 – 2012 has alreadyseen us reach a participation rate of 14.5% andthis will certainly rise further before the end ofthe year.

as one of the building blocks of a sustainablelong-term programme of giving, our goal mustbe to raise participation levels and we have setourselves a target of 25%. this would mean afurther 670 donors to the College. If 25% ofselwyn’s alumni were making a gift of £15 amonth, that support alone would provideselwyn with an income of almost £370,000 ayear. It is an ambitious target, but achievable,and one which will be crucial to selwyn’s futurefinancial security.

1882 Society

the number of alumni making provision forselwyn in their wills continues to grow, withmembership of the 1882 society now standing at 121 (an increase of 9% over the past year). the value of known legacy pledges to theCollege is now almost £4 million. this generosity

It has now been a year since I took up the position of Development Director at Selwyn, and a year since our last Annual Report. Over the past twelve months, we have tried to strengthen therelationship between Selwyn and its alumni by enriching the opportunities for engagement with the College.

The 2011 Telephone Campaign

although this report focuses on the financialyear 2010 – 2011, it would be remiss not to reporton the 2011 telephone Campaign which washeld this past December. 15 of selwyn’s currentstudents called over 800 alumni to raise moneyfor student bursaries and hardship funds. Morethan £200,000 was raised, which is a tremendousresult and selwyn’s most successful telephonecampaign to date, almost doubling what wasraised in 2008. Most pleasing of all was theparticipation from old and new donors alike. the campaign had a participation rate of 59%,and 240 alumni who had never supported theCollege before decided to make a gift.

Here are some of the vital statistics of the 2011telephone Campaign:

total amount raised: £203,000number of alumni called: 834number of alumni who donated: 491 number of new donors to the College: 240percentage of alumni who donated: 59%average amount per call: £232

Selwyn Online

as more alumni request engagement online, ourfocus for College communications must movetowards this way of keeping in touch. thus, this

year, we have focussed on enlivening our onlinepresence. Here are some of the ways our onlinecommunity has grown over the past year.

Flickr

selwyn joined Flickr exactly a year ago inFebruary 2011 to allow alumni to access photosfrom the College and from our events quicklyand easily. since we joined, we have added 1,619photos to our ‘photostream’. our photos havebeen viewed 14,235 times in the last year. the 2011 matriculation photos have proven to be easily the most popular set in our stream,having been viewed more than 3,500 times by alumni of all generations.

Facebook and LinkedIn

over the past year, our presence on Facebookand linkedIn has tripled; now, more than 600 of you get up to the minute selwyn newsand information about events through our social media.

I would like to use this space to encourage youto join one of our online groups if you use theinternet regularly; we post stories about thestudents, Fellows, and alumni of selwyn onlineat least once a week and it is an easy way to stayup to date with all the news from the College.

again, I would like to extend our warmestthanks to all of you who supported selwyn thisyear by donating of your time, money or effort.It is greatly appreciated.

selwyn ColleGe annual report 2010 – 2011

Cripps Court was built in 1968 and contains 172 residential rooms in seven staircases. It forms, in effect, around one-third of the College. In contrast to the rest of the Collegeestate, which has seen substantial investment in renovation and new building, little has been spent on Cripps Court other than a programme of asbestos removal and cosmetic decoration of bathrooms, carried out some five years ago at a cost of about £400,000. Many key elements of the building, notably the mechanical andelectrical services, have reached the end of theirexpected life. Heating, electrical, roofing andplumbing issues are cropping up with increasingregularity. the expectation in the building trade isthat mechanical and electrical installations shouldbe replaced every forty years or so. the Collegemust now recognise that the building has lived upto its original specification but also that action isnow needed to avoid the growing danger of asignificant failure of the building.

In reviewing possibilities, the College needed toweigh both financial and welfare considerations.a new building would probably cost around £25million and would bring major issues regardingthe management of displaced students. surveyssuggest that the basic structure of Cripps issound and that a refurbishment of the existingstructure offered the best value for money. aphased approach to the project would allow theCollege to manage the displacement of studentsmore easily. properly refurbished, the buildingwould have as long or perhaps an even longerlife than a new build. planning risks are minimal

compared to the new build option.

the College thus commissioned architects todraw up plans that include:

• the provision of ensuite facilities to mostrooms. this will enhance revenue earningcapacity outside term;

• the construction of a new storey, to allow 50 additional rooms;

• the reconfiguration of gyp rooms to allowincreased communal space;

• the provision of additional space forresidential Fellows' sets;

• the construction of a gym;

• improved disability access;

• the expansion of the MCr.

we have been advised by the architects that theplanning risk of adding the new storey is low. In fact from a design perspective, such an additionwould arguably better complement the overallaspect of the Court. this would produce a total of 221 rooms, which would allow the Collegeconsiderable flexibility in managing its residentialand teaching accommodation for students andFellows alike.

the overall project cost is £18.65 million. thecost plan has been prepared by external quantitysurveyors and is robust. Further savings may beavailable as the contractor tender process

develops, as the uK construction marketremains depressed and highly competitive. thestructure of the project funding is as follows:

£ millionCripps Foundation 7.50own resources 0.30sales of property 1.88Bank Debt 8.97Total 18.65

the Cripps Foundation has generously offeredsubstantial support for the project. the Collegewill sell three peripheral properties that will nolonger be needed. there is however a need for£8.97 million of “core” borrowing, which will berepaid over the long term. additional short-termborrowing of around £4.5 million will berequired to cover timing differences related tothe instalment profile of the Cripps donationand the delays in selling property, which will be needed to house displaced students andFellows. Debt will rise to a peak of £13.5 millionin the second quarter of 2014 but will fall back to a level of around £9.0 million from mid-2017.

the impact of debt service on the College's cashflow is significant but manageable. annual interestcosts, based on the latest indications, would peakin 2015 at £477,565 before falling back to around£360,000 thereafter. From 2015, however, theCollege benefits from incremental revenue fromstudent rents and conferences from the new roomsof £205,200 per annum, reducing the net long-term

drain on the College's cash flow to around£150,000 per annum. Financially, the College isstronger than it has been for many years, albeit stillloss-making. I am comfortable that the proposedlevel of borrowing can be managed withoutaffecting our educational mission. 2014 will be themost difficult year, but once over, the ongoingimpact on cash flow is sustainable, even in theevent of a decrease in cash generation.

the planning application was submitted inDecember and a response is expected in earlyMarch 2012. If approved, phase 1 will begin inJuly 2012 with M and n staircases. the 50undergraduate residents will be deployed intoleased space near Mill road and into graduatehostels and other rooms around the College. anytemporary reduction in graduate admissions willbe offset upon project completion, when theadditional rooms come on-stream. phase 2 willbegin in april 2013 with J, K and l staircases,with the final phase, involving H and I staircases,running from February 2014 to august 2014.

this is undoubtedly a major challenge for theCollege and will involve unprecedented levels of borrowing. It will however mean bringing theestate up to contemporary standards and assist theCollege’s ability to increase revenues out of term.although expensive, I am in no doubt that the costof not undertaking the project would be higher.
