The Life ofthe College
Letter from the Warden
As I write the Lodgings are shrouded in scaffolding and green
netting for necessary work on the roof and for the repair and
restoration of the stone work and the balconies overlooking the
Warden's Garden. The work is badly needed, and is all part of
our effort to maintain these Grade 1 listed buildings as well as
we can, a task in which we rely very much on the expert advice
and evaluations of our conservation architect, David Yandell.
David has also been much involved along with our organ
consultant Dr William McVicker in drawing up the invitations
photo: Kevin Edwards
for quotes for a new pipe organ in the College Chapel. We felt
that current conservation and heritage thinking would require
the preservation and if possible the inclusion of the original
painted pipes, and the positioning of the console in the elevated
position which it had held since the building of the side-chapel
in 1892, even though the raising of the organ at that time had
partly obscured the stained glass window in the south transept
and exposed the organ itself to deleterious effects from the
sun. There are also interesting legal issues, since at present the
Chapel ranks as a 'peculiar' and as such is not covered by any
planning regulations. This is set to change but meanwhile we
followed David's advice and held a consultation with the city
planning officer and Peter Howell of the Victorian Society (also
acting on behalf of English Heritage). I am glad to say that
both accepted our proposals and we hope that the new organ
designed and built by Kenneth Tickell Organbuilders Ltd will
be in place for the start ofTrinity Term 2011. Ifindeed it is
in place for the annual St Mark's Day service and dinner that
will be extraordinarily appropriate, given the significance of St
Mark's Day in the history of the College and especially of the
Chapel.
This academic year also saw the publication of Keble Past and
Present, the illustrated history of the College written and edited
by Ian Archer and myself. Many of the nearly 1400 subscribers
and contributors attended the launch party held at the end of
November at the British Academy, and the response has been
very positive overall. Published by Third Millennium, this
handsome book draws on unpublished material, memoirs,
oral reports and interviews as well as written sources, and
the College archives have been greatly enriched as a result
of collecting the material. We also now have a collection of
thousands of digital images which are being catalogued this
summer vacation with the help of Ben Heller, who is working
on a D.Phil. in history. The role of Robert Petre, the College


Keble College: The Record 2009
Archivist, has been key to both these initiatives and we also
have a new Librarian, Yvonne Murphy, after the retirement
of Margaret Sarosi. Yvonne has come from a very successful
tenure at the Linen Hall Libraryin Belfast, and she is currently
conducting a strategic review of the College Librarya and its
collections and how we might promote and develop them.
Much time and effort has

preparations
for our major plans to develop the Acland site and shape and
secure the College's future beyond its 150th anniversary in
2020. With the recruitment ofJenny Tudge (1986) as Director
ofl Development, and the expansion and restructuring of the
Development Office, we are in a strong position to carry all
this forward. We owe the fact that we could do this to the
farsightedness and generosity of George Robinson (1975) and
Robin Geffen (1976), and a significant number of Old Members
have already agreed to serve on the Campaign Board and
Jenny Tudge
as volunteers. Jenny and I travelled to the US in April, from
where she went on to Hong Kong, and we expect to make
more overseas visits during 2009-10. I know that like me, she
has already been overwhelmed by the degree of warmth felt
towards the College among our Old Members.
The process of obtaining planning permission is tortuous for
what will be easily the biggest and most important college
development in Oxford for many years. The Keble Acland site
has frontage on both the Banbury and the Woodstock roads,
is adjacent to St. Anne's, and contains a small element (invisible
except from inside the present buildings) that is listed in virtue
ofits connection with Thomas Jackson, the architect of the
Examination Schools among other Oxford buildings. After two
rounds of consultations, public comment and many discussions
with the city planners and English Heritage, we hope to
obtain permission soon. Given its position and given Keble's
architectural history, the responsibility for such a large and
important project is very great.
But this is not just about giving Oxford yet another set of
landmark buildings, however exciting that may be. Our vision
is to commemorate the College's 150th anniversary and to
shape its future for many more generations to come. This
future is about research as much as about undergraduates.
It is also for all the members of the College, whether they be
undergraduates, graduate students or academics. The Acland
development will house all these, as well as giving them space
and facilities for the generation of new thinking and new ideas.
It will house an Institute of Advanced Study to bring together


The Life ofthe College
researchers and thinkers in arts and sciences. It will have
media, resource and performance space and it will be home to
international and interdisciplinary students, researchers and
practitioners. My colleagues and I, in particular Jenny Tudge,
the Bursar Roger Boden and the Senior Tutor Marc Brodie,
have been working very intensively on shaping the vision, and
to say that this is an exciting concept is an understatement. It
is one that is very dear to my own heart and one that I believe
that Keble, with its distinctive tradition ofinnovation and
boldness, is well placed to realise.
Roger Boden
Marc Brodie
Isla Smith's decision to take early retirement from the
Development Office at the end of2009 in part precipitated
these changes, and Keble and its Old Members will certainly
miss her hugely. I am reminded every day just how much Isla's
eleven years here have done to build up the close relationships
we now have with SO many of our nearly 9,000 former students,
whose matriculation years range from the early 1920s to the
present. When our students graduate I often tell them that
Keble is for life; they are unsure of what that means, but these
ongoing connections are a major part of what colleges are
about. Isla's dedication and warmth of personality have truly
transformed these relationships, as many recent examples have
brought home to me. We are beginning the process of finding a
successor for Isla (not easy), and under the new structure Ruth
Cowen (now full-time as Alumni Relations Officer) will be the
main point of contact for Old Members (I know some of you
do not like the term alumni, though nowadays it is in fact much
more widely used). Many of you know Ruth already and you
can be sure she will provide the warm personal contact you
have come to expect. Next year's Summer Dinner on 3July
2010 will honour Isla and this will be a chance for Old Members
to say goodbye to her properly.
Mobility seems to be an increasing feature of academic life,
and we are certainly feeling its effects at Keble. Two of our
fellows, Dr Stephen Clark in Computer Science and Dr Niels
Dechow in Management, moved on to other posts during the
academic year, while Dr (now Professor) Niranjan Thatte
in Physics moved to a research post in the Oxford Physics
Department. Professor Ralph Hanna has retired from his
Keble tutorial fellowship while remaining post-retirement
in a research post in the English faculty. Professor Robin
Wilson has also retired from Keble after combining twenty-
nine years of teaching mathematics here with his full-time
Open University post. If this is not enough, no fewer than
nine research fellows come to the end oftheir appointments


Keble College: The Record 2009
this summer and will be moving on. In alphabetical order
they are: Dr Keith Brain (Physiology and Pharmacology, to
a Senior Lectureship at Birmingham), Dr Theresa Burt de
Perera (Zoology, to a University Lecturership and Fellowship
at StJohn's), Dr Michael Chappell (Engineering), Ms Carly
Crouch (Theology, to aJRF at Cambridge), Dr Eleni Kechagia
(Ancient Philosophy), Dr Ed Morgan-Jones (Politics), Dr Nellie
Phoca-Cosmetatou (Archaeology), Dr Sophie Ratcliffe (English,
to a five-year Lecturership at Christ Church) and Dr Matthias
Tecza (Physics). It is very heartening to see our young research
fellows moving on to good academic positions elsewhere, and
we are making raising funds for posts like these one of our top
priorities. The same number have now been appointed from 1
October, not quite in the same subjects. You can imagine that
the recruitment process, which is SO important, is a very time-
consuming one, and extremely crucial for the College.
Replacing academics at higher levels is also time-consuming
and nowadays can prove a lengthy process, as people move
round the world and have higher expectations of support.
Several of our posts are still in the process ofl being filled,
and the time-lag can be difficult for the College. Most oft the
increasingly onerous task of dealing with all these issues falls
on our Senior Tutor, Dr Marc Brodie, who has certainly had a
very demanding year in this regard. However I am glad to say
Jerker Denrell
that Professor Jerker Denrell, formerly of Stanford University,
Gui-Qyiang
is joining us as Senior Research Fellow in Management and
G Chen
that Professor Gui-Quiang G Chen of Northwestern University,
Illinois, will be a Professorial Fellow in the Analysis of Partial
Differentiated Equations. A further new post is the Research
Fellowship and Tutorship in Logic, to be held by Andrew
McCarthy, generously funded by Robin Geffen (Philosophy
and Theology, 1976). Thanks to another Old Member, Andy
Street (PPE, 1982), we have also been able to appoint a part-time
outreach officer for undergraduate recruitment
Andrew
(Sian Renwick).
She was a very effective participant in our annual Open Day
McCarthy
Alena
for potential applicants this July. A further joiner' during this
Patak-Danchak academic year has been Alena Patak-Danchak, who came
from Columbia University, New York, to the post ofHead of
Science and Medical Library Services and Keeper of Scientific
Books, succeeding Dr Judith Palmer, who is now an Emeritus
Fellow. Alena is a Fellow by Special Election at Keble. As you
see, contrary to popular opinion, the 'brain drain' is far from
taking place in only one direction. Finally we have elected
the distinguished chemist and professor of chemistry and
Christopher
molecular biology Professor Christopher Dobson (1967), Master
Judith Palmer
Dobson
of St] John's College, Cambridge since 2007, to an Honorary


The Life ofthe College
Fellowship. In November 2008 I was privileged to be asked to
read (from his own account of his time at Keble) at the grand
memorial service in St Paul's Cathedral in honour of the Revd
Chad Varah (1930), the founder of the Samaritans. Sadly, this
year we have lost Dr Robert Lucas, Emeritus Fellow in Plant
Sciences, who died in January 2009.
This is surely also the place to mention the further challenge
grant of f36 million (in addition to the original £100 million)
offered to the James Martin 21st Century School by Dr Martin
(Physics, 1952, and Honorary Fellow). Dr Martin's remarkable
prescience about the challenges facing us all in the coming
century, and his decision that Oxford was the university which
was best placed to find answers, have elicited an extraordinary
response across the University. Many of our academics and
Martin
graduate students are actively involved in the many areas
James
of research covered by the School, and I hope Keble can
claim some small credit for playing a part in this outstanding
beneficence to Oxford and crucial contribution to solving the
problems of our common future.
The coming year holds an interesting array of challenges. Like
all colleges, and indeed all universities and private schools,
Keble is required to register with the Charity Commission, and
to that end we are amending the Statutes SO that they are in the
right format. In Keble's case this is made easier by the fact that
the College had new Statutes in 1952 and unlike some others,
ours are not encumbered by bye-laws or provisions about
medieval property. The year will also be challenging because of
the overall financial situation, especially to the extent that this
is likely to impact on the University's finances, and therefore
indirectly on the colleges. We are already having to spend more
of our own College money on maintaining the tutorial system
and the level of academic provision we consider essential. But
I am glad to say that thanks to the work of our investment
advisory committee our endowment has held up better than
that of many of our peers, and certainly very much better than
the major USivy-league universities which are usually held
out as models. The current year has also been a good year for
fund-raising, not least for the income from legacies, which are
vitally important to the College, and exceptional for the level of
conference business, for which we are indebted to the hard work
of many, but especially the Domestic Bursar,Janet Betts; we
shall have to see how far this continues in the next period.
As I write, my colleagues have already embarked on the process
of choosing my successor as Warden from October 2010 [see


Keble College: The Record 2009
page 106]. It will be an odd feeling no longer to be in that
role after a tenure of sixteen years since 1994. But Iam very
much still in post and will be Warden until 30 September of
next year (2010). There is still a lot to do and I know that the
Development Office will make sure that there will be plenty of
opportunities to see you all before I disappear in my pumpkin.
Lord Stokes
This is not the place for a full-length obituary, of which a
number appeared in the national press at the time ofhis
death. Suffice it to say that soon after leaving Blundell's
School at Tiverton, Stokes joined Leyland Motors as a student
engineering apprentice, and stayed with the firm for the rest of
his working life. He showed a marked ability as a salesman and
by 1949 had become General Sales and Service Manager for
the company. He continued to progress up the hierarchy until
by 1964 he had become a nationally known figure, and in 1967
was appointed Chairman and Director of the Leyland Motor
The Rt Hon. Donald Gresham Corporation. A year later, British Leyland merged with British
Stokes, Lord Stokes ofLeyland,
Motor Holdings (BMH), and though British Leyland was the
Honorary Fellow. Born 22
smaller company, it in fact took over its rival; in 1968, Stokes
March 1914, died 21 July 2008. became Chairman and Managing Director of the new combine.
In 1969 he was made a life peer and took on a number of public
Dennis Nineham,former Warden roles, a Director of the National Westminster Bank and of
writes:
London Weekend Television.
At first the newly enlarged firm did well, but a combination
of factors, including persistent industrial unrest and poor
car design, meant that things declined, until in 1975 there
was a government led restructuring, which left no room for
Stokes except in a purely titular role. It may well be that the
1968 merger presented an impossible task, or at any rate
something of a poisoned chalice to anyone who might have
been in charge. However, it must be admitted that Stokes was
a natural salesman rather than a manager, especially when
the managerial role in question involved long-term planning
and the establishment of impersonal managerial systems.
Stokes was essentially a hands-on man. Nevertheless he was a
successful exponent ofthe cult of modern management much
in vogue in the sixties, and his flair for public relations and
gift for salesmanship earned him a high reputation among
industrialists.
When he was at the height of his reputation in the late
1960s, the College felt that SO eminent an industrialist, with


The Life ofthe College
considerable stake in Oxford, should be offered an Honorary
Fellowship, an offer that he enthusiastically accepted. He never
established any close personal relations with the College,
but when in 1973 approached him on behalf of the Keble
Appeal, he showed considerable interest. He arranged for
British Leyland to give £3000 a year for five years, and for the
management of the Cowley branch to visit the College several
times to see if the research activities of any of the science
Fellows could be made to tie up with the needs and the concerns
of the company, to our financial advantage.
Besides being a dynamic, articulate and highly successful
industrialist, Stokes was a friendly, affable and entirely unstuffy
man, who showed genuine interest in the College and its
activities, even ifhe seldom paid us a visit.

writes:
Tutorial Fellowship in biological sciences from which he retired
He was born in Bedford where he attended Bedford School,
entered New College to read botany and was awarded first
class honours in 1949. He was admitted to Kings College,
Cambridge as a postgraduate and was awarded a PhD in
1953 after completing a study of plant root-infecting fungi. He
returned to Oxford as a Demonstrator in the Department of
Agriculture subsequently being appointed University Lecturer
in 1955. He continued in this post until his retirement, even
after the Department was merged with Botany and Forestry in
South Parks Road. A colleague noted in the 1992 issue of The
Record that 'Bob Lucas represented one of the diminishing breed
of Oxford tutors, who in spite of many demands on their time
through research or administration, remained devoted first of
all to their undergraduate pupils." He spent many hours with
them when problems arose and he and his wife Pamela invited
them to their home in North Oxford on many social occasions.
His academic speciality was mycology and he was regularly
consulted to identify wild fungi. On one occasion, finding a
large white spherical object growing at the base of a hornbeam
hedge in my garden, I asked Bob to identify it and he confirmed


Keble College: The Record 2009
that it was a giant puffball, of excellent nutritional value and
delicious when fried. His fee for this consultation was half of
the puffball. Another piece of advice was obtained from his
assistant in the laboratory that any 'white mushroom', which
turned yellow ten minutes after being picked, was poisonous.
Following the deposition ofhis thesis, his first research paper
on wheat fungi was published in 1955 and this was followed
by thirteen further contributions mainly on the properties of a
variety of fungi. In 1971 he wrote a review on autoradiographic
techniques in mycology which summarized his own and others'
contribution to an important and rapidly developing field of
study. He was an active member of the British Mycological
Society serving first as Secretary and then in 1975 as President.
Besides official duties as Lecturer and Tutor Bob was active in
many other University roles. He was Curator of the University
Parks for more than twenty years, following the retirement
of GI D Parkes in 1967. During his curatorship he had to deal
with Dutch elm disease, the abolition of Parson's Pleasure
and the gales of 1987. He was Chairman of the Delegacy for
Local Examinations from 1981 until 1990. During this time
he visited China and Trinidad advising on the development
of new examinations and Oman where he was consulted
on the development of the Sultan Qaboos University. He
provided valuable assistance to the Radcliffe Science Library
in its research on the computer control of a large collection of
scientific periodicals by authorizing the extension of the new
computer in the headquarters in Summertown to the Radcliffe
Science Library via a BT relay. As a result of this cooperation
the first microfiche edition of the Oxford Union List of Science
Periodicals was published in 1988 and was thus widely available
to scientists in Oxford and elsewhere. In 1988 he was appointed
to administer the closing of the Agricultural Department in the
merger with Forestry and Plant Sciences. He was one oft the
Pro-Proctors in 1968-9 when Gordon Smith was Senior Proctor.
He was a devoted College Fellow and served as Curator of the
gardens from 1971-3 and subsequently as Garden Master from
1984-7. Also, he was acting Steward ofSCR in 1971 and 1975
and with considerable interest he took great care of the contents
of the College wine cellar.
He was a member of the United Kingdom Warning and
Monitoring Organization for more than twenty-five years which
included the period in the early 1960s when nuclear missiles
in Cuba threatened the USA and the warning and monitoring
team were on full alert. Eventually he was appointed as the


The Life ofthe College
Oxford Group Controller and was awarded an MBE in 1969
for his services.
In spite ofhis many responsibilities he found time to help
his colleagues with botanical and agricultural advice and
this extended to sharing experiments with me on a study for
the Home Office on botanical methods for locating buried
human remains. After observing at ground level luscious
growth believed to be due to the decaying of animal flesh he
was asked to view the site from the air for which a helicopter
was provided. This was undertaken with a certain degree of
trepidation!
After retirement he rarely came into College, believing it was
best left to his successors to manage. However, for a few years
he attended gaudies whenever former pupils were present
and occasionally he would be seen at the St Mark's Dinner.
Unfortunately his health failed and he suffered from dementia
during his last few years. Nevertheless he took a great interest
in the affairs of his local Church of St Nicholas, Old Marston,
and assisted his wife Pamela during her many years as
churchwarden.
He is survived by his widow, a son, daughter and five
grandchildren.

Keble College: The Record 2009
Fellows' Work in Progress
Investigating worm immunity
Why study a tiny worm? The question is reasonable, especially
when the worm concerned is insignificant, barely visible
and harmless, causing no disease in humans, animals or
plants. Indeed, the animal is SO unremarkable that it does
not even have a common name, only the rather forbidding
systematic title of Caenorhabditis elegans, which is almost always
abbreviated to the more familiar C. elegans. It is a kind of
nematode, or roundworm, and is one species among a vast
group ofinvertebrates that pervade the biosphere but mostly
go unnoticed. C. elegans, however, has become the most famous
of all nematodes, and there are now several thousand scientists
Jonathan Hodgkin, Professorial whose working lives are devoted to investigating the different
Fellow and Professor of Genetics facets ofits biology.
IJ have spent most of my research career working on and
with C. elegans, initially to explore problems in neurobiology,
developmental biology and sex determination, and more
recently to investigate how this simple animal is able to
recognize and fight off bacterial pathogens. About forty years
ago, an adventurous molecular biologist called Sydney Brenner
chose to exploit C. elegans as a good experimental organism
for investigating complex biological problems. The basics of
molecular biology I the role of DNA, the central dogma and
the genetic code I- had been worked out using viruses and
bacteria, but bacteria do not develop elaborate multicellular
structures and do not have nervous systems, SO they can't be
used for studying developmental biology or behaviour. C. elegans
does have these features, with nerves and differentiated tissues,
but it has only about a thousand cells in all, SO it is a sort of
minimalist animal. It's also transparent throughout its lifecycle
and therefore ideal for microscopic examination. The worm is
also very easy to grow, and has a generation time of only three
days, which makes it wonderful for doing genetic experiments.
Brenner's vision of what could be done with C. elegans was
inspirational to many young scientists, myselfincluded, and
resulted in a new and still expanding field of investigators,
who study many different phenomena but are united by using
the worm as an experimental system. More than 600 research
groups around the world now study C. elegans intensively, and
every year another fifty or more are added to the roster. Two
Nobel prizes (in Physiology or Medicine) and part of a third
(in Chemistry) have SO far been awarded for discoveries made
using this experimental system.


The Life ofthe College
My main research at present is devoted to understanding how
the tiny worm is able to deal with bacterial infections. There
are vastly more bacteria in the world than all other kinds of
organism - animals, plants, fungi, protozoa and SO on = put
together. Every animal is exposed to a great variety of bacteria,
many of which have the potential to cause disease. The problem
ofs survival is acute for C. elegans, because it lives by feeding on
bacteria in its natural habitat, garden soil and rotting vegetation.
Moreover, worms can't make antibodies, SO they cannot acquire
immunity to pathogens in the same way that vertebrates such as
humans do.
It is now realized there are two kinds ofimmunity, called
adaptive immunity and innate immunity. Adaptive immunity is
found only in vertebrates, and allows them to become immune
to novel pathogens, such as new strains ofinfluenza, if they are
able to survive a first encounter with the virus. But surviving
that first encounter depends on the other kind ofimmunity,
innate immunity, which provides a cruder and more generic
defence against bacteria and viruses. Innate immunity is ancient
in evolution and hard-wired in the genome. It is increasingly
seen as profoundly important in providing the first line of
defence against disease in mammals, and for invertebrates it is
the only game in town.
The strategy ofinnate immunity is to recognize the presence
of a bacterial or viral invader by detecting one of the general
features shared by many pathogens, and to respond by
activating general defences, such as the production of chemicals
that will kill, inhibit or delay the invaders. There is much
interest and mystery in both steps of this strategy. First, how
does an organism realize that it is under attack and what are
the features of a pathogen that are recognized? Second, what
are the compounds that are produced in response, which can
act as broad-spectrum antibiotics? This is a neat trick. Perhaps
invertebrates such as nematodes and insects have evolved
particularly potent ways to kill bacteria, and these could
be developed into new kinds of medically useful antibiotic,
which are urgently needed. A further reason to be particularly
interested in nematode immunity is that nematodes, as a group,
seem to be resistant to all known viruses, in contrast to almost
all other kinds of animal. How have they managed this?
Investigating the warfare between C. elegans and bacteria, which
provide both food and threats to the worm, has wider relevance
in comprehending the whole biology of this organism. The
worm is simple enough in cell number and tissue complexity to


Keble College: The Record 2009
have had its anatomy and development described in complete
cellular detail. Its genome is only one thirtieth the size of the
human genome and was completely sequenced ten years ago,
partly as a pilot for the subsequent and much larger human
genome project. Now we would like to know what all its genes
are doing. But there is a surprise here: the worm has far more
genes than seem necessary to create and sustain such a simple
creature. In fact, C. elegans has over 20,000 genes, almost as
many as the 25,000 currently estimated as the number of
human genes. What are they all doing? We can begin to answer
this question by making use of an extraordinary effect called
RNA interference (RNAi for short) which was first discovered
in C. elegans and then found to be universal among plants and
animals. RNAi provides a convenient means of reducing the
activity ofany chosen gene in an organism. It is ridiculously
easy to implement in C. elegans, and the method has allowed
several research teams to examine the effect ofi inhibiting, one
by one, most of the 20,000 genes. Sometimes this inhibition
results in death, sterility or deranged development, if the gene
is important enough, but most of the time nothing happens.
Yet evolution has preserved these apparently useless genes.
We know this, because we can almost always find exactly
the same gene in related species of nematode, which diverged
from C. elegans many millions of years ago. Genes that aren't
useful get rapidly lost, over such periods of evolutionary
time. So it is likely that the superficially non-functional genes
are actually very important in the real life of the worm, out
there in the complex soil ecosystem that it naturally inhabits.
This is of course a much more challenging environment than
a comfortable Petri dish. Indeed, when we repeat the RNAi
experiments on certain genes, but add in pathogenic bacteria
at the same time, we find that some of the genes that are
dispensable for life in a protected environment are actually
necessary to provide defence against the pathogen.
Those are genes that are specialized for defence, but some
of the other genes we study turn out to have roles both in
immunity and in developmental processes. One of the pleasures
ofp pursuing research is how often the investigation of one
problem gives rise unexpectedly to an insight in a different area,
and this has happened repeatedly during our investigations
of worm immunity. Immunity and development seem to be
strongly interwoven. These crossovers also lead us to look at the
organism in a more holistic way than we used to. Fortunately
SO much is known about the molecular and cellular biology
of C. elegans that it is becoming increasingly possible to view it
holistically, rather than as a collection of many different parts


The Life ofthe College
and processes. Such an approach is likely to be essential in
exploring immunity and certain other biological problems such
as ageing. Gerontology is another area of active research on C.
elegans, because the worm lives normally for only two weeks
and consequently itis easy to detect and study changes in the
process of ageing. With the right kind of genetic manipulation,
its lifespan can be extended to six months, and the Methuselah
worms remain in apparently excellent health, even in extreme
old age (for a worm). One factor contributing to such an
extension of healthy lifespan turns out to be the increased
activity ofi immune defences, although it is clear that this is
far from the whole story. Whether insights gained using C.
elegans will ultimately allow humans to live for several centuries
remains to be seen.
'Mission (im)possible?'- Rehabilitating Plutarch as a
historian of philosophy
How can we know what the ancient Greek philosophers said?
The answer to this question seems fairly obvious: we read
their works! But what happens in those cases (and there are
quite a lot of them) where the ancient philosophers' works are
irretrievably lost? Three options present themselves here:
Eleni Kechagia, British
Academy Research Fellow
We hope that the archaeologists will sooner or later unearth
precious papyri rolls that contain fragments of the ancient
Greek philosophers' lost books. This is not an Indiana-Jones-
like, thoroughly unlikely scenario -in the 18th century an
excavation in Ercolano near Naples brought to light a great
number of carbonized papyri rolls which gave us invaluable
fragments from an important work of Epicurus, thus
substantially improving our knowledge of Epicurus' theories.
The downside of this scenario, however, is that we may have
to wait quite a while before such a remarkable revelation takes
place once again.
We give up hope and settle with the idea that, quite simply, we
cannot find out what the ancient Greek philosophers, whose
works are now lost, said. Reasonable and down-to-earth though
this may sound, it is clearly not an option for a classicist and a
historian of ancient philosophy such as myself.
We dive into the surviving books of other ancient Greek (or
Roman) authors, for example Plutarch (1st-2nd century AD), who
discussed, though not always very systematically or charitably,
the views and sayings of philosophers of their past. With a great
deal of philosophical imagination and patience, and with a good


Keble College: The Record 2009
knowledge of Greek and Latin, we can combine the pieces of
information offered by such ancient historians of philosophy'
and reconstruct, to some extent at least, the views and sayings
of the ancient philosophers that would otherwise be doomed to
complete obscurity.
Iti is this third option that my ongoing research work focuses
on: as a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow at Keble my
'mission' is to study Plutarch as historian of philosophy with a
view to evaluating his understanding and presentation of past
philosophical theories in his works.
Plutarch of Chaeroneia was a scholar, Platonist philosopher
and, perhaps most eminently, a biographer of the 1s-2nd century
AD. However, he is not the sort of figure that immediately
springs to mind when one thinks about 'history of ancient
(Greek) philosophy. More celebrated for his biographical work,
the famous Lives which have inspired great minds, such as Jean-
Jacques Rousseau and Shakespeare, Plutarch is less known for
his philosophical work; this is preserved in a collection of essays
in 15 volumes named Moralia, but is usually taken to be only
'popular philosophy' (the negative connotations of the term are
obvious!). Often dubbed a Platonist' exegete, his acumen as a
philosopher has generally not been considered very highly; he,
therefore, only marginally figures in modern histories of ancient
philosophy as a philosopher in his own right. His wide learning
may be appreciated, but not SO his philosophical originality
and spirit. At the same time, however, Plutarch is one of the
few 1st-2nd century AD philosophers whose writings survive to
a great extent and contain an enormous amount of precious
information about the philosophy of his past and the theories of
ancient philosophers whose works are now lost. Hence Plutarch
frequently figures among our list of secondary sources for
ancient philosophical theories which are only fragmentarily
preserved today. Nonetheless, Plutarch has still suffered 'bad
press': scholars have often come to the conclusion that he
probably misinterpreted the point of the philosophical theory
he reports in his essays, either because ofl lack of philosophical
acumen or out of bias.
Now I dare say there is a bit of a paradox lurking here: on the
one hand, we use Plutarch's philosophical works as a source,
and on the other hand, we do not, by and large, pay all that
much attention to the way in which Plutarch dealt with and
interpreted the philosophical theses of the past of which he is
a source; and even if we do, our judgement about Plutarch's
interpretation tends to be not a very flattering one. Yet, in order


The Life ofthe College
to make the most out ofPlutarch's testimony and be able to rely
on the information conveyed through his writings, it is essential
to have a view about how reliable a reader of past philosophy
Plutarch was. Therefore, we have to examine more closely
how he perceived and understood the theses he transmitted,
how these theses fitted in (or not) with his own philosophical
interests and beliefs and, eventually, how far his presentation of
them was plausible or distorted out ofb bias or lack of knowledge.
The results of such an examination can be positively surprising
and a personal anecdote may illustrate this well.
When I finished reading for the first time Plutarch's writing
Against Colotes - a libel against an Epicurean devotee in
which Plutarch literally demolishes Epicurean philosophy
of nature and epistemology = my sympathies clearly lay
with the Epicureans. Plutarch's arguments seemed to me to
be far too heated and rhetorical to be taken very seriously;
obviously, I thought, Plutarch for whatever reasons despised
Epicureanism and wished to give a biased presentation of
Epicurean philosophy that served his purpose of showing how
utterly and dangerously mistaken Epicurus was. So Iset out
to expose Plutarch's bias and vindicate Colotes, the Epicurean
spokesman harshly criticized by Plutarch. Then a turnaround'
happened: the more I read Plutarch, trying to understand
his arguments, the less confident Il became of my sympathies
with Epicureanism. The suspicion that Plutarch may have
more to say through his arguments than what his apparently
polemical rhetoric allowed us to think started creeping in and
eventually turned into the conclusion of my doctoral thesis:
Plutarch's presentation of Epicureanism, despite the appearance
ofl hostility and bias, offers insightful readings ofthe Epicurean
theories that may help us better understand Epicureanism and
its place within the intellectual history of ancient Greece.
In my postdoctoral research I have attempted to consolidate
this initial inkling about the value of Plutarch's readings of
past philosophical theories by examining more closely certain
key passages from his work. This involves analysis of the
main line of thought underlying Plutarch's interpretation of an
ancient philosopher's theory (for example, Democritus' view
that all there really is in the world are atoms and the void);
comparisons with other ancient interpretations of the same
theory (for example, by Aristotle), when possible, are also
particularly illuminating and rewarding. The results of such
examination, while not always breath-taking', show Plutarch
to have produced philosophically interesting and plausible
readings that can often be seen to anticipate the interpretations


Keble College: The Record 2009
which modern historians of philosophy have given of the same
ancient theory. Above all, what my examination aspires to
achieve is to rehabilitate' Plutarch as a historian of philosophy:
instead of being simply a source that transmits information
of questionable value, Plutarch, Iwish to argue, turns out to
be a genuine historian of philosophy who thought critically
about the philosophy of the past and whose readings can make
important contributions to our understanding of the history of
Greek philosophy. To this effect, Iam currently completing a
monograph for OUP entitled Plutarch against Colotes: where did the
Epicureans go wrong?"; Iam also putting together a proposal for a
volume of collected essays that were presented by some of the
field's leading experts at the conference on Plutarch and Philosophy
which I organized last year at Oxford. These contributions
aim to set openly the rather politically incorrect' question how
good a philasopher/historian ofphilosophy Plutarch really was?", and in
SO doing to provoke a (positive, one hopes!) re-evaluation of
Plutarch and his philosophical interpretations.
It is only fair to say that, fortunately, in the last two decades
the tide has been changing in the approaches to Plutarch's
philosophical activity: there is now a growing interest in, and
appreciation of, Plutarch not only as a biographermoralist, but
also as a philosopherscholar. And so, what is the gain?, one may
ask. Well, re-establishing confidence in Plutarch's philosophical
acumen opens up a whole range of texts, largely ignored SO far,
for serious consideration. Plutarch may never become a Plato or
an Aristotle in the eyes of the modern reader; but he may well
become a respected critic whose reviews' of past philosophical
theories are an essential guide when trying to find out what the
ancient Greek philosophers said and thought.

Sports and Games
Badminton
The Badminton Club has gone from strength to strength this
Jeremy Sakstein
year. Our mens' 1st team won the University League against
some stiff competition and came top out of forty really good
teams. Our women's team is improving and I am confident it
will not be long before they follow the men's lead. We are a very
friendly group and our Monday evening clubnight sessions are
popular and enjoyed by all. I am also pleased to report that the
first of what I hope will become an annual black tie dinner took
place with the tennis and hockey clubs. It was a well attended
and very successful event. I have enjoyed being Captain for the
last two years and will leave Keble knowing that the club is in
great shape and look forward to hearing that we successfully
defended our title next year.
Rowing (Men's)
For Keble, a college that does not usually attract the same
Julian Bubb-Humfryes
number of experienced oarsmen as its competitors, rowing
facilities are at a premium. (The extraction of every metre per
second ofs speed from our squad is vital if we are to compete
with the traditional powerhouses of college rowing. This year
has seen Keble establish a set-up which should hopefully level
the playing field somewhat in this regard.) The new launch,
Erigo, has made a big difference to our water sessions and our
new coach along with the new erg machines mean that even
when the river levels are high we can make gains in fitness.
Finally, our new 1st VIII boat, Neptune, is a thing of beauty and
enables a more consistent stroke. All of these have been put
to good use this year, with good results starting to food in at


Keble College: The Record 2009
external events and Torpids, where Keble moved up two places
with some gutsy racing. Our crew proved itself most adept at
long-distance heads racing, scarcely a surprise given the long
erg sessions that made up our winter training. IfWallingford
Head was a remarkable success, with Keble finishing ahead
ofall but two other colleges, the Head of the River Race was
truly miraculous, with 1st VIII moving up around 60 places
on last year's effort to beat all other colleges except Christ
Church, as well as finishing ahead of twenty overseas entries
and many other universities. Given these results, it was all the
more disappointing that Summer Eights should have gone SO
badly, with Keble losing three places. The reason for this was
inexperience, pure and simple. Next year, we will be fitter,
stronger and calmer in the race. The Eight will be assisted by
a number of oarsmen already committed to trialling for the
Lightweight and Heavyweight Blues next year. They follow in
the footsteps of Alec Dent, a second-year, the youngest athlete in
the Blues squad and victor in the Isis-Goldie race.
Rowing (Women's)
Keble rowing has stepped up its standards under the leadership
Hannah Kaye
of our new Director of Rowing, Ryan Demaine, and with the
higher aspirations came a big increase in training sessions. We
also had a very successful pre-season camp at the beginning of
Trinity, guest coached by Rod MacDonald and joined by Bibi
Reisdorf, who has been rowing for the Lightweights all year.
For the first time Keble Women represented the College at
external regattas in Hilary and Trinity this year. In Hilary we
took a crew to Women's Head of the River, which is the biggest
head race in the world and held on the Thames over the famous
Boat Race course. We had a fantastic race, were faster than
all our main college rivals, and will start 141 places higher up
the draw next year. Back in Oxford, we rowed in Torpids and
bumped three times but missed out on blades.
We had a great day at the Wallingford Regatta in Trinity Term,
winning pewter tankards in the Novice Eights and beating the
OUWBC Development Squad. As a result the whole crew were
invited to trial. We also qualified for the Intermediate Eights
final and and I hope we can improve our result next year.
Our whole year's training works up towards the main event of
the Oxford Rowing Calendar, Summer Eights. This year we
entered four crews. Having won blades at Oxford City Bumps
at the beginning of the term in a four we were determined
to consolidate that with blades in Eights; unfortunately for


The Life ofthe College
W1, that was not to be. However, 2nd VIII, the Kebelles, were
awarded blades for bumping the 2nd VIIIS of Worcester, LMH
and Oriel and 1st VIII of Regents Park.
None of this would be possible without considerable support
from Old Members of the Keble Rowing Society and our
generous sponsor Neptune Investment Management who
provided a new Filippi eight, Neptune's Daughter' whom we
have been working all year to deserve!
Women's rowing is on the up - five Keble rowers are looking
to trial for the Blues to race Cambridge in March, returning to
the Keble boat in Trinity. We aim to make the first division in
Eights and will continue to work at enhancing the reputation of
Keble rowing both within Oxford and without. I leave the club
in the capable hands of new Captain Anna Fox.
Cricket (JCR)
For the 1st XI, a third placed finish in the top division of the
George Dean
college league, the highest in recent memory, must be seen a
successful season. However, after losing only one match (by
just a wicket) after second week, we were disappointed that
our disastrous start to the term had prevented us from really
challenging for silverware. Success was built on the wise old
heads of opening pair Simon Quinn, who headed both the
averages and total runs scored, and Tom Ouldridge, and
a reliable middle order ofJohn Askham, Bartlett-Marques
and Mark Conway. The bowling was led by Rajan Vig and
supported by the clever middle-over bowling ofl leading wicket
takers Bartlett-Marques and Conway. The season's highlight
was undoubtedly the hard fought 23-run victory over fierce
rivals Balliol, with individual moments of brilliance from
Matthew McKay (5 wickets VS Lincoln), Luke Browne (69 VS
Lincoln), Quinn (96 VS Somerville) and Graham Cochrane (79
VS Balliol). Particular thanks to those who helped out when
short and those who played almost every week (Ouldridge,
Quinn, Bartlett-Marques, Askham, Conway, Vig, Menuwan
Weerasinghe). Thanks also to the sterling work of groundsman
Adrian Roche, and our kind sponsors, Wood Farm Bakery.
The 2nd XI had an enjoyable season, with performances
varying from the sublime to the ridiculous. Particular credit to
Menuwan Weerasinghe, who, whether with bat, ball or gloves,
led the team with distinction, freshers Jonny Cornford and
Matthew McKay who provided a fearsome new ball pairing,
and Sam Waite, Paul Gillard and Oakley Cox who all provided
useful runs. All-rounder Joel Stockton also deserves a mention
for his deceptive and effective spin bowling, lusty batting


Keble College: The Record 2009
cameos and athleticism in the field, but the champagne moment
must go to 2nd XI stalwart Phil Robinson for a memorable hat-
trick versus Lincoln. The season ended with a comprehensive
victory for a JCR XI over the MCR in the Paul Hayes match,
the first victory in several seasons.
Cricket (MCR)
At the mid-way stage of the MCR cricket season, the usual
Peter Hall
rollercoaster of results and emotions has been experienced.
Emerging from the winter doldrums took us longer than other
teams, leading to defeats in our two opening matches. Since
then, however, we have managed to pick up our game, winning
the next three matches. Season's highlights include a superb 96
from Vice-Captain Omar Chaudhry from just 15 overs and a
thrilling, last-ball victory over the previously unbeaten Osler/
Green/Templeton team. Success in our last two games will
guarantee a top-half finish in the table and provide a platform
for us to defend the Paul Hayes trophy.
Dancesport
This has been another highly successful year for Keble's
Amy Sutherland
Dancesport Club. The weekly classes have been well supported
throughout the year with a mixture of undergraduates and
postgraduates coached by Bruce Richardson, one of the Oxford
University coaches. When it came to Cuppers in Trinity
Term we were able to pull together a brilliant team made up
of novices as well as more experienced dancers who had spent
the year representing the University in competitions thirty-
eight dancers in all - demonstrating the club's enthusiastic
membership. Everybody trained really hard prior to Cuppers
with each couple mastering either the Waltz, Quickstep, Cha
Cha Cha or Jive. On the day itself Keble performed excellently,
with five couples making it to the final round of their dance.
The standard at Cuppers rises every year, and for the first time
there were more than five colleges with a squad big enough to
rival Keble. Despite this, we managed to come second only to
Hertford who had an incredibly strong team. Bryony Frost and
Ihave thoroughly enjoyed being Dancesport Captains this year
and we have every faith in the future Captains and their ability
to ensure the continuing success of the club.
Basketball (Mixed)
Keble College fielded its first full basketball team for several
Tim Griffith and Matt. McKay
seasons this year. With a small but dedicated team, seeing
tutors playing alongside a close knit group of the new intake,
Keble managed some surprising wins, finishing the Michaelmas
League just 1 point short of making the top division for the
next term. Struggling with outdoor winter training, the team
returned in Hilary looking less prepared than many rivals, yet
managed to come away with victories against one or two of the


The Life ofthe College
big basketball playing colleges. The lack of practice did however
take its toll and resulted in a low finish in the League. This was
unfitting for a team that had given its all and was never beaten
by more than the narrowest of margins. With this season used
predominantly for rebuilding, Keble's strong core of players,
eager for greater successes in the future, look set to thrive under
future captaincy.
Football
The 2nd Team were arguably the stars of the three Keble men's
Paul Gillard
football teams, led by their dedicated Captain Robert Gardiner.
They reached the final of the reserve Cuppers in impressive
fashion, scoring 25 goals in five games, 8 coming from the
clinical vice captain Freddy Bacon. However, after two early
goals from New College in the final, even a bullet header from
Greg Weir in the second half couldn't bring the trophy home. In
the League they came second, winning seven out of nine games,
and will play in the top flight of reserve football next season.
Graham Thornton's famous 'Let's go Keble' chant worked its
magic throughout the 3rds season. He led them to a comfortable
promotion, only losing once in the League, finishing second.
Unfortunately, a disastrous end of the season by the 1s's meant
that a triple promotion was missed out by 4 points. The season
started strongly, and with two weeks left, comfortably in second,
an assault on the title was imminent, but only two wins in five
left the 1s's in fourth place, just missing out on promotion for the
second time in two years. Next year will be our year...
Hockey
This year was a successful one for the hockey team. Boosted
Andrew Murchison
by a large contingent of first year chemists, we dominated the
fourth division in Michaelmas Term. On the basis of these
performances, we received a promotion to the third division
for the Hilary season. Here we faced some stiff opposition, but
played well as a team and held our own in this group. I was
very impressed by the standard of hockey throughout the team,
with a solid defence including Simon Hind, Aidan Brierley,
David Edgeley and Matt Kahk. Our midfield, meanwhile, was
bolstered by very competent performances by Will Garratt,
Oakley Cox and Eliza Preston, whilst strikers including Nick
Pointer, Greg Weir,Jonny Cornford and Tim Griffiths showed a
consistent balance of flair and composure. I would like to thank
everyone who was part of the hockey team for their outstanding
effort this year, and to wish my successor, Will Garratt, the best
of luck in the coming year. Well done!


Keble College: The Record 2009
Netball
The Keble netball teams started the season with a large influx
Claire Machin
of new and enthusiastic players. We had mixed success over
the year with both teams finishing mid-table in their respective
leagues. Our season culminated in a great team performance
in the annual Cuppers tournament and although we ultimately
finished third out of four, this was easily the best the team had
played together SO far. Special mention needs to go to Emily
Makin and Adam Pimperton who were awarded Players of the
Year and also to Rachel Bawden who volunteered to take on the
less than popular role ofGS and excelled in doing SO. Good luck
to Emily Makin as she takes over the Captain's role for what
promises to be another solid season in 2009-10.
Pool
Another good year for pool, the first team finished fourth again
Mark Pitfield
in the 2nd division after some mixed performances, narrowly
missing out on a playoff spot. Keble 3rd team shone in the 4th
division, losing the playoff final for promotion by only one
frame. After failing to play enough games to stay up it looks like
the 2nd team will be joining them next Michaelmas.
On to Cuppers where the 1st team really hit their stride.
Undefeated in the group stage they were seeded third in the
team knockout. Several games later and they were through to
the final. It was an absorbing and high quality match against
first division Queen's, Keble eventually succumbed 7-5.
Congratulations to Joe Sturge and Tom Preston who reached
the quarter-final in doubles pool and Richard Walters who
reached the quarters in snooker. Women's pool this year was
frustrated by a lack of opposition from other colleges yet
congratulations toJo Lenthall and Mary Ashley who both
reached the quarter-final stages of women's singles.
In other competitions, Mark Pitfield andJo Lenthall reached the
semi-final of mixed doubles, with Mark also reaching the semi-
final of two-man competition. Continuing his success, Mark
was crowned Cuppers Singles Champion, beating Rob Gaunt
of Queen's 4-3 in the final. The first 'Keble Masters' was held in
Trinity Term, won this time by Mark Pitfield. The tournament
proved popular and hopefully it will become a termly fixture
from now on. On a final note the 1st team proved that they're
exactly twice as good as the 3rd > beating them 8-4 in an end-of
season friendly.
Rugby
The Rugby Club regained its position at the top of the pile this
Tom Ouldridge
year after wresting the Cuppers trophy back from St Edmund
Hall. Captained by Graham Cochrane, Keble took the first


The Life ofthe College
division title for the third consecutive year, winning nine games
out of ten and providing almost half of the victorious Oxford
Colleges' XV.
With the successful league side bolstered with returning
University squad members, Keble comfortably won through the
early rounds of Cuppers before comprehensively outplaying a
Worcester side containing ex-All Black captain Anton Oliver in
the semi-final. With Hall having convincingly beaten a strong
University College side in the other half of the draw, the final
was destined to be tight.
The opening exchanges were cagey, with little to choose
between the two sides before a moment of magic from Dan
Guinness allowed Tom Ainsworth to canter home. Hall, who
had enjoyed the better of the half up to that point, hit back
immediately and the scores were tied at 8-8 at the break. Keble
dominated the twenty minutes following the resumption,
Heinrich Moeller and Matthew Moore adding tries to take
the score to 21-11. With five minutes remaining, Hall scored
an unconverted try to bring themselves back to within seven
points. A heroic defensive effort, interrupted by a twenty-minute
break for a head injury to fly half Brendan Mckerchar and
finished in a biblical downpour, eventually saw Keble home
21-16 for the second title in three years.
Tennis (Men's)
Men's tennis this term got off to a disappointing start with
Andrew Mather
Keble not being entered into the League competition due
to poor communication with the organizers. With only one
competition to focus on, Cuppers, the squad was keen for
success and to play throughout the term. Although this is men's
Cuppers, three of our squad of nine where women: Berry Merle,
Vicky Moffett and Ellie Warner. They joined Greg Weir, Ben
Vanderspar, Will Seamer, Freddie Bacon, Rich Mant and Andy
Mather. Greg and all three girls played in the Oxford blues
team. Keble comfortably beat Corpus Christi and Pembroke
to reach the quarter finals and we were looking in good shape.
The match against University College took a long five hours on
a glorious day in early June and the determination of the team
enabled us to leave with another victory. This set up a grass
court encounter with Teddy Hall in the semi finals, which due
to some rock solid play from Ben & Berry and great tennis all
round, Keble won. Champion dreams were drawing closer to
reality and all that stood in the way were the Worcester team.
In the final few hours of Trinity Term, we squeezed in the
match in the beautiful Worcester gardens. Worcester started
strong and caught us by surprise going 2-1 up. Unfortunately


Keble College: The Record 2009
the comeback came too late and Worcester picked up the
trophy. The team this year showed great skill and mental
strength in every match, and huge congratulations to them all
for reaching the final. Next year. I hope we can go one better.
Ultimate Frisbee
Keen to improve upon last year's performance, and in particular
Martin Rendell
with the team's finalists desperate to win silverware after
three years of coming second place, Keble fought hard with
determination and cohesion throughout the year. Keble won
all but one of the group games in the Spring League, narrowly
missing victory in their game against the Christ Church/
University team. However their finishing position meant that
Keble were up against the mighty Lincoln in the semi-final.
On a windy day, Lincoln's university-level experience showed
as they presented a fearsome zone defence, but the level-
headedness of the Keble handlers meant that holes could be
exploited in a match beyond the quality expected for college
level. With both teams neck-and-neck throughout the game, and
with Keble on the verge of triumph, the game was decided in
sudden-death, with Lincoln narrowly clinching victory.
Cuppers, then, was the last chance to show Keble's worth.
Missing the team's two most experienced players, things looked
bleak. Nevertheless, Keble I progressed to the final, gaining
vengeance on Christ Church/University and Lincoln on the
way. The nearly complete team showed it was still a powerful
force and powered to a 9-2 victory over Brasenose to take the
Cupper's trophy. The 2nd team overcame initial cohesion issues
and showed that they knew what they were doing, emphasizing
the fact that they are ready for next year's challenges! Special
thanks to Tom Eckersley-Waites for his skill and coaching
which has helped everyone on the team improve immensely.

Music Society
The Music Society had another excellent year of fantastically
Tom Hooker
varied events. The Warden's Recitals were of a very high
standard with a large number of student performers, as
well as Professor Robin Wilson and Revd Allen Shin. The
Choral Society sang Handel's Messiah and Mozart's Requiem,
accompanied by the College Orchestra who also performed
Vaughan Williams' English Folk Song Suite and a selection of
Hungarian Dances by Brahms at their concert in Arts Week. The
Jazz Band, led by Graham Thornton, performed in the Keble
Café Bar and even Oxford Town Hall during the year and
finished off playing in Liddon Quad for the annual Garden


Keble College: The. Record 2009
Party in Trinity Term. We were very privileged to host concerts
by noted professionals: Mariangela Vacatello (piano),Julia
Rogers (violin) and Julie Coucheron (piano), and Neil Wright
(organ). We also welcomed back Old Members: Colin Touchin
(1971) who gave a conducting masterclass at the beginning of
the year and Oliver Walker (2005) who returned from Wells
to give an organ recital in Trinity Term. Completing the
programme of events were: composer Dr Andrew Fisher from
University of Southampton who gave a talk on all aspects of
composition, the Bryon Consort from Harrow School, the OU
Gilbert & Sullivan Society, and Alex Pullinger (New College)
who gave a solo song recital. The Chapel Choir continued its
excellent form under organ scholars Alex Hodgkinson, Dan
Cottee and Ed Symington, and Director of Music, Simon
Whalley.
I would like to thank the Warden and committee members:
James Hawkes, Kieran Hudson, Richard Yates, Laura Newman
and Benedict Vanderspar for their hard work and smooth
running of the Society, and Marios Papadopoulos for his
continued support, particularly of the Orchestra. I wish Richard
Yates, incoming President, and the rest oft the committee for
next year all the best and look forward to music at Keble
continuing to flourish.
Hursley Society
The Hursley Society, the College's theological society, has
The Chaplain
remained active and strong this year. In Michaelmas Term the
Society hosted an exhilarating debate on the topic Was Jesus
pacifist?" between Professor Richard Hays, George Washington
Ivy Professor of New Testament at Duke University and
Professor Nigel Biggar, Regius Professor of Moral and Pastoral
Theology at the University of Oxford. Dr Bernard Green OSB,
Tutor in Theology at St Benet's Hall in Oxford, presented a
paper on Why was it necessary at all to develop a doctrine
of Trinity?' In Hilary Term the Warden gave a stimulating
talk on Byzantium 330-1453', the Byzantine exhibition at the
Royal Academy of Art. The talk was later followed by a tour
of the exhibition itself. Later in the term the Society hosted
JDGI Dunn who gave a talk on Who really knew what about
Jesus?' to a full audience. In Trinity Term the Society hosted
two young resident research scholars: Dr Matthew Niblett,
Research Fellow in Theology, gave a paper on Waiting for
Shiloh: prophets, revolutionaries and the millennium in late
Georgian Britain'; and Dr Carly Crouch, Liddon Research
Fellow in Theology, led a tour of the British Museum's Ancient
Near Eastern artefacts pertaining to ancient Israel and Judah,
something she has been working on for her D.Phil. research.


The Life ofthe College
During the Easter vacation, Professor Markus Bockmuehl led a
group of theologians on a short trip to Rome for a special tour
of St Peter's Tomb and the Vatican. The Society wishes to thank
Professor Bockmuehl for his efforts in organizing several very
successful seminars which have attracted students and scholars
from as far as London and Nottingham.
Martin Esslin Society
This year the Martin Esslin Society has become even more
Hannah Martin
prominent in the Oxford drama scene funding and producing
some incredible shows. Thanks to the success of sell-out shows
such as the experimental Sweeny Toddi in Michaelmas Term and
the improvised version of Much Ado About Nothingi in Trinity
Term, directors and producers have been queuing up to bid
for one oft the four slots offered by the O'Reilly each term and
subsequently the standard ofs shows performed continues to rise.
The society aims to promote both home-grown Keble talent as
well as encourage new and experimental work. In Hilary Term
it managed to combine the two. The Martin Esslin production
(co-produced with Red Brick Productions), The Entertainer,
co-directed by Rebecca Threlfall and Hannah Martin
(Treasurer and President), produced by Sophie Macclancy
(Secretary) and starring Phoebe Thompson (Vice-President),
was a darkly comic take on the decline oft the music hall
tradition. The run ended with a packed gala evening attended
by many members of the College. They were entertained with
various vaudevillian delights, including a mime artist and
fire-eater before the show. Later in the term Chelsea Walker
(committee member) directed a new adaptation of Clockwork
Orange which was a smash hit, with many students marvelling
at the creative use of the theatre and boldness of the cast. The
society also functions as a funding body and is expanding
in terms ofi its ability to attract and host guest speakers. Old
Members are warmly welcome to any Keble productions in the
O'Reilly Theatre.
The Chapel
The Chapel welcomed the Freshers with a special tour of the
Chapel and the Chapel roof top and Freshers Evensong during
Freshers Week. The Michaelmas Term began with a sermon
by the Warden and included several Old Members returning to
grace the pulpit. The Revd Dr Joseph Kennedy (D.Phil. 2000),
Principal of the College of the Resurrection in Mirfield and The
Very Revd Mark Boyling (1971), Dean of Carlisle Cathedral
The Chaplain, Revd Allen Shin returned to preach, and The Rt Revd Dr Geoffrey Rowell,
(2001), writes:
former Chaplain and Bishop of the Diocese in Europe, presided


Keble College: The Record 2009
and preached in the Corporate Communion Service. All Saints
Sunday was also an occasion to celebrate the Baptism of Ben
Lay, a graduate student reading Classics and a faithful member
of the Chapel since his undergraduate years. The Advent Carol
service as always had a standingroom only congregation with
nine lessons and music wonderfully sung by the Chapel Choir.
Hilary Term saw two more Keble Old Members from the
matriculation class of 1966 returning to preach: The Rt
Revd Ian Brackley, Bishop of Dorking, who presided in the
Confirmation service of Ben Lay and Alex Hodgkinson, finalist
organ scholar, on Candlemas Sunday, and The Revd Professor
Johan Barton, Oriel and Laing Professor of Holy Scripture. The
Corporate Communion service was made special by the guest
preacher, The Very Revd Vivienne Faull, Dean of Leicester
Cathedral. The Chapel Choir were joined by the Hertford
College Chapel Choir for their choir crew date (exchange
dinner). Yet another highlight of the term was the sermon by
the guest preacher, Bishop Kallistos, Metropolitan of Diokleia
of the Ecumenical Patriarchate and Emeritus Spalding Lecturer
of Eastern Orthodox Studies. The second annual Holocaust
Memorial Service was held in the midst of the difficult times
of the Gaza conflict with a poignant address given by The Rt
Revd and Rt Honourable Lord Richard Harries of Pentregarth,
former Bishop of Oxford. The service was again enhanced
by the participation of the OxfordJewish Community and its
choir, OxfordShir. On 10 February a special service, Faith and
Healing: a multi-faith vigil for peace, justice and compassion
in the Middle East' was organized with reflections and prayer
given by Imam Monawar Hussain, Tutor in Islam, Eton
College, Rabbi Dr Norman Solomon, Emeritus Fellow in
ModernJewish Thought, Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish
Studies, and the Chaplain.
For the St. Mark's Day service, we were honoured to have The
Rt Revd Patrick Glover (Keble 1966), Bishop of the Free State
in South Africa, as guest preacher. The Eastertide also included
appropriately enough a Baptism service in which Ian Bhullar,
a PPE finalist student, was baptized. Canon Professor Sarah
Foot, Regius Professor of Ecclesiastical History, was the guest
preacher on Pentecost Day. And on Trinity Sunday the Chapel
was delighted to welcome The Rt Revd Dr AntjeJackelén,
Bishop of Lund in Sweden, who preached and gave the final
blessing in the service. The 24th Eric Symes Abbott Memorial
Lecture this year drew a large audience in the Chapel with a
talk given by The Revd Professor Alister McGrath, Head of the
Centre of Theology, Religion and Culture at King's College,


The Life ofthe College
London. The title of his talk was 'Religious and Scientific Faith:
The Case of Charles Darwin's Origin of Species.? The year ended
with a farewell service and a party to thank all the leavers.
The Sanctorum, a spiritual discussion group organized by the
Chapel wardens, had a successful year with some interesting
series. In Michaelmas Term, four discussions were organized
on the theme Ite missa est: Christianity outside the Church.
Dr Philip Kennedy, Senior Theology Lecturer from Mansfield
College led a discussion on 'Go out quickly into the streets and
alleys of the town' (Luke 14.23). This was followed by Caron
Bell and Andy Cuff who gave presentations on their voluntary
work experience in Africa, and Brother Kentigern John, an
Anglican Franciscan, who gave a talk on his spiritual journey
and work among the poor. The series ended with a discussion
on the work of Christian AID led by Caroline Stocks. The
Hilary Term series was on the topic of Jesus in the Abrahamic
Faiths. The speakers included Rabbi Dr Norman Solomon,
Emeritus Fellow in Modern Jewish Thought at the Oxford
Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies, Mr Timothy Winter
(Abdal-Hakim Murad), Sheikh Zayed Lecturer in Islamic
Studies and Fellow of Wolfson College, Cambridge, and Dr
Dave Leal, Supernumerary Fellow in Theology, Brasenose
College, Oxford. In Trinity Term the discussions were held
around the hot topic of Women and the Church.' Dr Sarah
Apetrei, British Academy Fellow in Theology, kicked off with
a session on A Historical Perspective', followed by Women in
the New Testament' led by The Revd Dr Helen-Ann Hartley,
Lecturer in New Testament, Ripon College, Cuddesdon, and
ended with The Revd Canon Dr Charlotte Methuen, University
Research Lecturer in Ecclesiastical History and Assistant
Chaplain who tackled the topic, The Ordination of Women:
Current Challenges."
The pre-Advent Quiet Day in Michaelmas was led by
Professor Tony Phelan, our German Tutor and member of the
Advowsons Committee on the theme ofJustice and Christian
Spirituality.? It was held at Community ofSt Mary the Virgin,
Wantage. The Lenten Quiet Day was led by The Revd Canon
Dr Charlotte Methuen at All Saints Convent on the theme of
Summon out what I shall be: time and space to reflect on what
God wants of my life." The Mitre Club Dinner, the annual black
tie dinner in Hilary Term, once again brought out the creative
and wild side of the Chapel members with all sorts of hats and
headgear. Kelly McMullon, the outgoing president of the club,
had the pleasure of handing the mitre to Gregory Tucker, first-
year theologian who will be a Chapel warden next year.


Keble College: The Record 2009
The Chapel Choir have continued to thrive this year under
the direction of Chapel Music Director, Mr Simon Whalley,
and the organ scholars, Dan Cottee (senior organ scholar), Ed
Symington (junior organ scholar) and Alex Hodgkinson (finalist
organ scholar). The Choir were invited to sing a special concert
on St Mark's Day in Hursley Parish where John Keble served
for thirty years and was buried. They also gave a concert at All
Saints Church in Thorpe Malsor, one of many Keble parishes.
The Choir also sang the annual Evensong at St Michael and All
Angels Church in Eastleach Martin (Bouthrop) in May. The
Keble Chapel Choir and the Hertford Chapel Choirj joined their
voices to sing in the College Corporate Communion Service
in Hilary Term in Keble and in the service for the Feast of the
Visitation in Trinity Term in Hertford College Chapel.
Keble College has had a long and strong tradition of supporting
candidates for ordained ministry in the church. In order to
better nurture and help the students aspiring for vocation in the
church in their discernment, the Summer Vocations Internship
Programme has been set up in conjunction with the Contextual
Theology Centre at the Royal Foundation of St Katharine.
Last summer Simon Cuff and Jewell Thomas completed their
internship and this year four students will participate I Simon
Cuff,James Holden, Hannah Martin, and Robert Dix. They
will be connected to different local parishes and be involved
in community organizing projects at London Citizens based in
Limehouse in East London.
The Chapel community continues to thrive with deep
commitment in faith and worship and with many fellowship
and spiritual activities. Many thanks are expressed to the
finalist Chapel wardens, Simon Cuff (JCR) and Susannah
Fleming (MCR) for their diligent service and commitment
for the last three years, and to Kelly McMullon, second-year
Law student for her part in the last two years. Huw Pryce and
Gregory Tucker are the two new Chapel wardens. Special
thanks go to Dominic Keech who has been an active member of
the Chapel serving in various roles as Chapel Warden, Chapel
Clerk and President of the Hursley Society over the past seven
years. I could not have got through the transition period of
the beginning of my Chaplaincy without him. Special thanks
are also expressed to Suzie Merchant and Mary Marshall
who have held the Chapel Choir together for the past seven
years. Dominic, Suzie and Mary have been in Keble from their
undergraduate through their postgraduate studies. Special
gratitude also to the Revd Canon Dr Charlotte Methuen,


The. Life ofthe College
who has assisted in the Chapel for the past three years and as

Financial Review
Operating results
The College recorded a surplus for the year of £14k. The
operating deficit arising from the College's core activities - the
difference between what we earn from teaching, research, board
and lodging and what we spend on salaries, supplies and the
upkeep of our buildings = was £1.2mn. Viewed against core
activity expenditure of £6.5mn this is a measure ofthe subsidy
the College and its benefactors are providing in pursuit of its
objects. Funding for the deficit comes from endowment return
and conference surpluses. The endowment contributed £707k
and conferences £977k net of all costs.
Fundraising
Donations during the year totalled £1.4mn. Of this £624k was
given for the endowment, £544k for capital projects and £245k
in support of current activities, including a major gift to fund
the expansion of development activities.
Capital projects
The College invested £1.4mn in capital projects during the year.
The largest project, accounting for £799k, was phase 2 of the
renovation of the Victorian rooms and corridors. This involved
the renewal of all plumbing, electrical and other services in the
northern half of the west side of Liddon Quad, and the complete
refurbishment of three corridors, twenty-five study-bedrooms
and bathrooms and two fellows' sets.
Over the Christmas vacation the central section of the Hall
floor tiling was replaced at a cost of £81k. The College has a
contract for the supply of enough tiles to continue this work
in other areas as needed. Towards the end of the year we
embarked on another long-wished-for project, the installation
of a new pipe organ in the Chapel. Enabling works have begun
and the new organ should be commissioned in time for a
celebration on St Mark's Day 2011. Both these initiatives were
made possible by the very generous support of Old Members.
A planning application for the redevelopment of the Acland site
was submitted early in 2009 but consideration ofit by Oxford
City Council was postponed to allow more time for resolution
ofissues relating to the listed building in the centre of the
site and for an archacological survey. We are hopeful that a


Keble College: The Record 2009
revised application will receive planning consent in early 2010.
The additional cost during the year oft this extended planning
process was £219k.
Investment performance The value of the endowment at the start of the year was
£23.2mn. The College continued during the year to diversify
out oflong-only UK equities, following a strategy adopted in
2006. Despite this, the portfolio was not immune from the
financial turbulence that affected all major markets: for the year
as a whole the portfolio recorded a total return of -1.6%. At
year-end, after the £707k transfer to income and expenditure
and the addition of endowment gifts, the endowment stood at
Reserves
At year-end the College's reserves amounted to £21.3mn of
which £20.6mn was attributable to tangible fixed assets and
£641k to the general reserve.
Outlook
The College continues both to live within its means and to
sustain a strong academic culture. It has also made great
progress in its plans for the future. With the 150th anniversary
just ten years away a 2020 Campaign Board has been
established with ambitious targets both for the funding of
its academic ambitions and the completion of the Acland
redevelopment. The development office now has a team of
six and, in the first six months of what will be a long and
challenging campaign, attracted over f5mn in pledges.

Confessio Amantis
Leafing through books of reference in recent years I
occasionally find statements such as the following: Since
graduating from Keble College, Oxford, in 1953, Geoffrey Hill
has pursued a threefold career as university teacher, critic and
Io certainly acknowledge that I have spent a lifetime in university
teaching, I retired in 2006 after fifty-two years in the profession:
Geoffrey Hill, MA (Hon.

D.Litt., Leeds; Hon. D.Litt.,

which, if not breaking a record, must surely be within striking
Fellow
distance of one.
Isuppose I would quibble with the conventional term 'pursue'.
Undeniably and (in more than one sense) I lived through
a career in university teaching; whether I actively pursued
it is another matter. I would say rather that I arrived in it,
a gauchely ill-prepared twenty-two year old, did the work
required of me for half a century, and departed from it at the
age of seventy-four.
Viewed eccentrically my greatest achievement over fifty years
was in not being ground down creatively by the profession,
one in which I nonetheless laboured, under obedience, with
great thoroughness and indeed dedication. My literary archive,
housed at the University ofLeeds, contains in addition to
seventy closely worked poetry notebooks almost two hundred
unpublished academic lectures written out in full in typescript
and longhand; and they represent only a fraction of the tasks
performed. Why should one not say these things?
A friend to whom I showed an earlier version of this paper
asked why I had said SO little about my classroom teaching. I
replied that, having turned the matter over with some care, I
had decided, rather to my surprise, that there was relatively
little that I wished to say or indeed could effectively say. At
his urging, however, I subsequently put a number ofl blunt
questions to myself. Did I like my students? On the whole
yes, very much so; though the relatively small number of
scoundrels encountered looms disproportionately large in my
recollection. Did I prefer teaching British students to American,
or vice versa? The very different pedagogic disciplines (ifthat
is still a valid term) to which students of the two nations are


Keble College: The Record 2009
subjected inevitably affect their respective intellectual positions
and general orientation. At the undergraduate level there was,
among the American students, a quality of unregimented
eagerness that I found immensely attractive; and it dismayed
me to re-encounter some of these people, two or three years
into a doctoral dissertation, seriously afflicted with tunnel
vision and with their early eagerness supplanted by a cynical
competitiveness and a premature pessimism concerning
things of the mind generally and professional opportunities in
particular; a malaise to which British doctoral candidates are by
no means immune. This state of affairs is not new to the twenty-
first century, and Milton's words from the tractate OfEducation
retain their original point and weight: [John Milton, Complete
Prose Works, ed. Don M Wolfe, 8 vols in 10 (New Haven: Yale
University Press, 1953-82), vol. 2, p. 375.]
So that they having but newly left those Grammatick
flats & shallows where they stuck unreasonably to learn
a few words with lamentable construction, and now on
the sudden transported under another climat to be tost
and turmoild with their unballasted wits in fadomless
and unquiet deeps of controversie, do for the most part
grow into hatred and contempt ofLearning, mockt
and deluded all this while with ragged notions and
babblements, while they expected worthy and delightfull
knowledge.
Since I helped to found a research institute it may be said, fairly,
that I am scarcely in a position to complain of the deadening
effects of doctoral work. Embedded in my perplexity is a not
untypical instance of the consequences of Original Sin whereby,
to quote the old Biblical scholar JII Mombert [William Tyndale's
Five Books ofMoses called The Pentateuch (London: Samuel Bagster
& Sons, 1884), p. vii.], there is an imperfection which marks
all human effort, especially where it aims to avoid it. Ideally
regarded, doctoral studies ought to contribute toward what
Ruskin and others called 'intrinsic value'; and even now, in a
minority of cases, they may; but many people, I would argue,
are not suited intellectually or temperamentally to pursue
matters with the necessary breadth as well as rigorous attention
at SO early an age. I certainly wasn't and, at the present time,
would be denied entry to an academic career. It was my good
fortune, in 1954, to be in possession of an Oxford First which
still, though barely, gave one an entrée to university teaching.
Despite my degree I see now that, though I was less ignorant at
graduation than I had been at matriculation, I was nonetheless
almost wholly unprepared for the demands of scholarly and


The College at Large
critical thinking and writing which were thrust upon me when I
arrived in Leeds. I do not believe that I would have learned the
necessary principles and practice from the narrow specialization
of a doctoral programme; they were taught me on the run, SO
to speak - by a slightly older colleague, the Coleridge scholar
JP (Peter) Mann, to whom I owe many debts and with whom
Iremained on the closest terms of friendship until his death at
the age of 78. I was six years in post before I published my first
academic paper (on Ben Jonson's Sejanus and Catiline), a length of
time that would not now be tolerated. I am here contending that
this was a more testing apprenticeship than would have been
provided by working on a doctorate, its topic creamed from the
shallows of my twenty-one-year-young ignorance and vanity. I
was well into my forties before I achieved a general breadth of
knowledge and a trained sensibility sufficient for undertaking
scholarly and critical work with the necessary degree of depth
and clarity.
During my final period at Boston University, I co-founded,
together with Professor Sir Christopher Ricks, the Editorial
Institute. Our chief motive stemmed from our reaction to that
general tendency of graduate degrees in English and American
Studies, to which I have already sketched my response. We
shared the view (I believe) that in the past quarter of a century
too much emphasis has been placed on theoretical methods of
approach, coupled - oxymoronically - with the cultivation of
a wild subjectivity ofi interpretative animus (by which I mean,
to put it crudely, the exploitation of a perceived rectitude in the
chosen author(s) for having anticipated the thesis-writer's third
remove weltanschauung or an attack on the author(s) for having
failed to anticipate all that the student takes to be self-evidently
Christopher and I envisaged a programme (or program) in
which graduate degree candidates would edit, with full textual
and historical apparatus, a work chosen in consultation with
the directors. My own emphasis was mainly on examples of
seventeenth-century philosophy and theology, though I also
directed MA work in twentieth-century studies. It seemed to
us that this period of graduate work should be an opportunity
for students to establish a solid sense of period: a grasp ofits
politics, economics, philosophy, theology, technology, as well
as ofits own particular or peculiar literary conventions. This
would be for many their first opportunity to acquire a grasp of
such essentials.


Keble College: The Record 2009
But none of this, needless to say, extricates me from the moral
grimpen which, like SO many other kinds of contradiction and
impasse, largely, though by no means wholly, results from one's
own contradictions, weaknesses and general incapacity.
Having published in 2008 my Collected Critical Writings, a volume
of 814 pages, covering the work of forty-eight years, I once more
acknowledge this important aspect of my human existence.
Yet I would still quibble with the term 'pursue'. I plodded on,
stubborn and apprehensive, and over the years things accrued
and gathered, and rather to my surprise, as I reached old age, I
found that Ihad an 'oeuvre'
Itis true, though, that from the first my great desire has been
to create books: I have an almost mystical reverence for the
alienating effect they have on one's own inarticulacy even
while they may at times embody the life-blood of a master
spirit' [Milton, Complete Prose Works, vol. 2, p. 493 (Areopagitica).]:
Emerson's marvellous phrase alienated majesty' [Ralph
W Emerson, Essays and Lectures, ed.] Joel Porte (New York:
Viking, 1983), p. 259 ("SelfReliance).] comes to mind though
I am employing it in a sense other than that with which he
employed it. Like Machiavelli, I wish to enter my library'
(which in actuality I don't possess) clad in curial robes [Cf. the
letter to Francesco Vettori of December 10, 1513.].
I am cursed with a virtually insuperable strain of vis inertiae:
to overcome this I found it essential to accept invitations to
lecture, as with my Clarks at Trinity College, Cambridge, 1986
(The Enemy's Country), the Tanner Lectures on Human Values,
Brasenose, Oxford, 2000 (Inventions ofValue) or the Ward-Phillips
at Notre Dame in the same year (Alienated Majesty). I undertook
their preparation with the full intention of establishing
eventually - the foundations for a book or books. This was
essential to my vision of myself rather than to any project
for professional advancement. Indeed when, in 1980, Ileft
an administrative chair at Leeds, into which Ihad gravitated
by misadventure, for a lectureship at Cambridge I effectively
demoted myself and, since no dispensation was allowed for my
twenty-six years teaching experience, found myself once more
without security of tenure.
I have always taken part (when permitted) in the physical
preparation and presentation of my books - an aspect of
things which I also considered academically in my teaching
for the Editorial Institute. Title pages and dust jacket design
particularly attract my attention and I give much thought to


The College at Large
the choice of illustration. The dust-jacket of the Collected Critical
Writings, whatever may be thought of the content, is exceedingly
beautiful; among the most beautiful that I have seen anywhere
in recent years. It incorporates details from Eric Gill's war
memorial at the University of Leeds: 'Our Lord Driving the
Money Changers from the Temple.
As to my poetry: what can I even begin to tell you about an
element that has possessed my being for more than sixty years?
I rather regret that in a spasm of malformed self-deprecation
I once referred to it, in response to an American literary
journalist, as 'a hobby that has got out of hand'. I probably
trusted at the time that my tone of voice would convey my true
feelings; but I ought not to have done - people are SO literal-
minded.
My true feelings on the matter require a degree of self
censorship, such is their intensity. My belief, moderately
expressed, is that poetry rightly practised and understood is
part of the nervous system of true polity. Simone Weil wrote in
1943 [Simone Weil, The Need.for Roots, tr. Arthur Wills (Boston:
Beacon Press, 1952), p. 207.]:
Simultaneous composition on several planes.. .is the law
of artistic creation, and wherein, in fact, lies its difficulty.
A poet in the arrangement of words and the choice of
each word must simultaneously bear in mind matters
on at least five or six different planes of composition...
Politics, in their turn, form an art governed by
composition on a multiple plane.
Whenever I am asked to state my opinion of the nature and
value' of poetry, I find myself quoting these (and other) words
by Weil. Again I verge on the repetitious; but it is difficult not
to; Iknow no other description of the essential and necessary
relationship between the poetic and the civic domains more
pointed and more resonant. Needless to say relevance' and
'accessibility' and 'reaching out' play no part in the vocabulary
with which I attempt to describe my fullest endorsement ofher
words. Nor does 'enjoyment', though joy is an essential element
in any true poem's potency (But hark! joy -joy strange joy.l I
Lo! heights of night ringing with unseen larks': Isaac Rosenberg
in 1917 [Isaac Rosenberg, The Poems and Plays, ed. Vivien Noakes
(Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2004) , p. 139.]). Enjoyment'
(I have SO enjoyed your new book of poems, Ms X') strikes
me as a term of condescending possessiveness, as in the archaic


Keble College: The Record 2009
euphemism of a man sexually 'enjoying' a woman's body. As
Ihave written elsewhere: Whatever strange relationship we
have with the poem, it is not one of enjoyment. It is more like
being brushed past, or aside, by an alien being' [Geoffrey Hill,
Collected Critical Writings (Oxford: Oxford University Press,
Both my parents left school at thirteen. My father, demobilized
from the Royal Field Artillery in 1919, joined the lowest rung
of the Worcestershire Constabulary, in which his father and his
brotherin-law were already serving. A brother, also ex-army,
joined the Worcester City force at about the same time. Thirty-
three years later, when I was beginning my third undergraduate
year at Keble, Dad retired, still with the rank of constable. He
and my mother loved music; she had a good contralto voice,
sang with the Church and Women's Institute choirs and thought
Orlando Gibbons's The Silver Swan' the most beautiful piece
of music ever written. He was a self-taught pianist who could
make a creditable attempt at one or two of Grieg's salon pieces
(Schmetterling' - The Butterfly'- -Iespecially remember). He
admired Britten's Frank Bridge Variations. Irecall him, on
two separate occasions, at an hour when he usually took a nap
in the easy chair in our front room, which also served as his
office and my study, picking up a book that I chanced to have
brought home for the vacation and reading it at a sitting. The
first was Max Plowman's little book on William Blake. After
putting it down he said marvellous! marvellous!" The second
was Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet. He put that down and said
nothing; and who am I to say that he was wrong? I still treasure
on my shelves a now worn and shaky copy ofTS Eliot's Selected
Essays, on the fly leaf of which is written, in my father's careful
copperplate, To Geoffrey. With love from Mom and Dad.
Christmas, 1949.
Iti is in their memory that I here declare myself an
unreconstructed elitist in matters to do with education and
civil polity. I will be misunderstood as that term now connotes
'celebrity', possessing or seeking to possess positions of super
wealth and entitlement, oft the powers conferred by belonging to
some inner circle of exclusivity. My sense of the term is wholly
different and is developed from a further statement by Simone
Weil (she was contrasting her attainments with those of her
brother, a mathematician of Pascalian precocity): I did not
mind having no visible successes, but what did grieve me was
the idea ofbeing excluded from that transcendent kingdom to
which only the truly great have access and wherein truth abides'
[Simone Weil, Waitingfor God, tr. Emma Craufurd (New York:


The College at Large
Harper and Row, 1973), p. 64.]. My parents with their truncated
elementary education shared Weil's perception that such a
'transcendent kingdom' exists.
We are currently (late 2009) misgoverned by an elected body
which may be the worst since Chamberlain's appeasement
cabinet of 1938. Even so, I would acknowledge that anyone
attempting to govern, whether it is done well or ill, is facing
a perennial, ineluctable, and probably insoluble problem.
Put in the form of a question it reads: 'how do you translate
intractable values into tractable instruments and effects?' This
question applies as much to the arts and to education as to
forms of polity. In education and the arts (particularly poetry
as it SO happens) it is concentrated in the struggle to sustain
unpredictable yet unassailable intensity - let's call it 'intrinsic
value' - with some form of communication with others, a
form of communication to which such terms as relevance'
and 'accessibility' relate only as terms ofl helpless and hapless
travesty.
The question ofi insolubility need not be crippling; it may
indeed be salutary, ifit is kept in mind as, SO to speak, a tensile
thread in the mind between what is pre-eminent but probably
unsustainable and what is predictable, or expedient, but under-
achieving. Know thyself.
Education in particular is currently in thrall to a species of
technocratic 'angelism' as one of my early poetic masters
Allen Tate (1899-1979) could well have said. Such angelism
latterly in vogue as 'social engineering' cares no more for the
heritage of my parents (for all its impertinent chatter about
the underprivileged) than it cares for the intellectual and
sensuous terrain of a notoriously rebarbative' poet approaching
extinction. Ihave only very recently encountered Frank
Musgrove's: The English working class has been betrayed twice
in my lifetime: first in the General Strike of 1926 and then forty
years later when the grammar schools "went comprehensive".
[Cited in Chris Woodhead, A Desolation ofLearning: Is This the
Education our Children Deserve? (s.l.: Pencil Sharp Publishing,
2009), p. 135.] This now seems to me as indisputable as William
Morris's denunciation (in 1883, at Oxford) of the workings of
anarchical Plutocracy. [William Morris, Collected Works, 24 vols
(London: Longmans, Green and Company, 1910-15), vol. 23, p.
191 (Art under Plutocracy).] But of course it will be disputed,
perhaps by readers of The Record, especially by those who have
come triumphantly through a comprehensive' education. All
credit to past and present working class members ofl Keble


Keble College: The Record 2009
who have fulfilled their potential despite Shirley Williams's
disastrous edict, but I maintain that it made their task harder
not easier. I write as one of the earliest beneficiaries of the great
1944 Education Act. We were in a twofold sense a richly gifted
generation, and it grieves me, in scanning the index to Keble
Past and Present, to have to face the fact that we seem to have
disappeared from the face of the earth.
Provided that the 'tensile thread' between the intractable ideal
and the manageable but inadequate praxis is preserved, British
governance, education, and art will survive. But it all hangs by
that thread. If British education does perish, then the best I can
say is that this beloved College, together with my second alma
mater, the University ofLeeds, will be among the very last to

Oceans, overflows and climate
When I tell people I'm an oceanographer, they usually imagine
this means I spend my days diving with dolphins. The reality
of my working life is somewhat more mundane I sitting in front
of a computer screen, talking in front of a room full of scientists
or students, orifIm very lucky, heading off somewhere as
exotic as Washington DC (a short train ride from New Jersey
where I live) for a funding meeting. Oceanography encompasses
many disciplines and my particular niche within physical
Sonya Legg, BA, (Ph.D.,
oceanography (the study oft the circulation, currents, heat and
London)
salt) is turbulent mixing and the role it plays in climate. And my
tool of choice is computer simulation, which means I study the
ocean from my office computer rather than in the ocean itself.
So what does ocean turbulence have to do with climate? Well,
the main role of the ocean in the climate system is through heat
storage and transport of heat from Equatorial to Polar regions.
Most people have heard something of the GulfStream, the
great ocean current that carries warm surface water northward
in the North Atlantic Ocean. Without it Western European
winters would be considerably colder. Fewer people, however
(outside my profession), have heard ofits deep counterpart,
the Deep Western Boundary Current, which carries the
return flow of cold waters southward. Yet this current plays an
equally important role in our climate as the return loop of what
combined is known as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning
Circulation (shown in the schematic). This circulation may
Auctuate on time-scales of decades to centuries, leading to
decadal variations in the climate of the Atlantic region.
The cold deep current is fed by water coming through the
straits which connect the Greenland-Ieeland-Norwegian Sea
with the North Atlantic, cold water which results from intense
cooling of the surface water by the bitter subpolar winds.
These straits are narrow (when compared to the size of the
basin theyjoin) = between 10 and 100km wide - but play a
disproportionately large role in determining the character of
the deep current. The cold water moves through the straits and
accelerates like a rollercoaster down the slope, sinking below
warmer water. The regions of descending cold water, like
under-sea waterfalls, are known as overflows, and it is here that
turbulence comes into play. More turbulent mixing means a less
dense, less cold current with greater volume, less mixing means
a denser, colder current of smaller volume. The more mixing,
the more water goes south in the deep current, and the more
warm water has to be pulled north to replace it in the surface


Keble College: The Record 2009
currents. The climate of Western Europe therefore depends
indirectly on the mixing in these narrow straits.
Since the real ocean contains overflows, and overflows are
a crucial part of the Atlantic circulation, we obviously want
the climate models which are being used for predictions of
climate change to include overflows too. However, overflows
are very difficult to represent in large-scale computer models
of the ocean, of the sort which are used (when coupled with
atmospheric and ice models) to make climate predictions.
These models have grids with points only every 100km or
so; the overflow straits are about this size or smaller, and the
turbulence happens on even smaller scales. Climate models
without proper overflows get the deep western boundary
current all wrong, and SO aren't credible for understanding
climate variations on the timescales (decades to centuries) when
the ocean's deep circulation comes into play.

ways of looking at the problem are essential - for example only
field observations can tell us what the real ocean is doing, but
we can't do experiments (i.e. changing the size of the straits,
the density of the current) on the natural world, SO that's
where the laboratory comes in. Some quantities are difficult to
measure in the laboratory, and SO computer models are useful
there. But computer models don't capture all the turbulence
of the real ocean.. and SO on... After five years, we're pleased
that we have been able to combine new understanding
from recent field campaigns and theoretical analysis ofthe
rotating turbulent fluid dynamics with expertise in numerical
algorithms to produce several improvements to our climate
model representation of overflows. These new models will be
used in the next generation of climate simulations which will
contribute to the next assessment of climate change by the
Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change.


The College at Large
To get to this recent career highlight I started off with a long-
standing interest in weather and climate and a physics degree
from Oxford. Not knowing anything much about the particular
topic I wanted to study, Ibegan a Ph.D. in what I thought
would be dynamical meteorology (i.e. weather) at Imperial
College with an advisor who had interests in both ocean and
atmosphere. Playing around with different applications of a
simple vortex model I hit upon an ocean dynamics application
which seemed most likely to lead to a thesis, and hence became
an accidental physical oceanographer. After this accidental
beginning, I made a conscious decision to stick with it, because
physical oceanography is such a young field (compared to
meteorology, its atmospheric counterpart) that there are still
plenty of relatively fundamental problems to solve. As someone
who touched a computer only once during my entire time at
Oxford, it is perhaps surprising that I've ended up specializing
in computer simulations, but fortunately I've had plenty of
patient teachers over the years. I carry out virtual laboratory
experiments, using the computer code as my lab. Understanding
the simulations is aided by plenty of theoretical analysis (i.e.
old fashioned equation solving) and observations made by
colleagues provide a continual stimulus for new problems to
examine. I did go to sea once, on an 18-day research cruise from
Barbados to French Guyana (sounds idyllic doesn't it?) but I
discovered it's definitely not where my strengths are (hard to
think intelligently when you feel sick).
From Imperial College I moved first to MIT, and became
an accidental immigrant to the US, bringing only 1 suitcase
thinking I was only staying a year. 18 years later, I've lived in
Colorado (a strange place to be an oceanographer, but they
have a big climate lab there), Los Angeles, Cape Cod, and
since 2004, in Princeton. I am a research oceanographer at
the University, on the faculty of the graduate programme in
Atmosphere and Ocean Sciences and also work closely with the
Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, a government climate
modelling lab. In the middle of all this, Imarried (another
oceanographer) and we've had to deal with the usual 'two-body
problem' of finding two jobs in reasonable proximity. For many
years we worked 90 miles apart, living in the middle, but with
the arrival of our two children that became unsustainable. So
when we were approached about two jobs at the same lab in
Princeton, we upped and moved once more. It also helped that
the new jobs were as good as or better than the ones we were
leaving behind, for both of us. Living only 10 minutes from
work makes a huge difference, not just to our personal lives
but also to our careers - it's now much easier for one of us to


Keble College: The Record 2009
travel for workshops or conferences, leaving the other with no
logistical problems in our absence. Now that our children are 9
and 5 years old, we feel we can say we've successfully managed
to combine our careers with our family life I neither of our
careers has been put on hold, yet we always leave work before
5 and never work weekends. It's easy to confuse the hours you
work with the work you actually do, but fortunately I've found
that ifI focus on being productive (writing papers, getting
things done) I can get away with my short working hours. It
helps that I only teach 1 graduate course a year and I'm more
or less my own boss, SO hours are very flexible. And of course it
helps enormously that I have a husband who thinks my career
is as important as his, and is willing to do what it takes to make
that work.
So while I might not (yet) have swum with dolphins, ocean
currents have taken me a long way from my starting point at
Keble.
Keble Parishes Update
The Chaplain, Revd Allen Shin (2001) writes:
The following priests have been licensed or appointed for Keble
parishes: The Revd Barry Birch licensed to Eastchurch with
Leysdown and Harty, Isle of Sheppey as House for Duty priest
on 1 October; The Revd Howard Gray to Brompton Regis with
Upton and Skilgate, Bath & Wells as House for Duty priest
on 19 October; The Revd Patrick Allen to St Simon, Mount
Gould, St Mary the Virgin, Laira and StJohn, Sutton-on-Plym
on 30 October; The Revd Ian Todd to St Saviour, Hitchin on
22 February; The Revd Edward McKenna to St Martin Low
Marple, Manchester on 21 April. The Revd Iain Young has
been appointed to the Church of the Ascension, Lavender
Hill and was licensed on 16 July; The Revd Andrew Evans
to St Nicholas Hayes licensed on 7 September; and The Revd
Charles Lawrence to St Laurence, Northfield licensed on 12
September.
The College's patronage right has been suspended for the
following benefices: Wormingford, Mount Bures and Little
Horkesley; St Andrew, Worthing; the Benefices of Belchford,
Fulletby and Hemingsby; Broughton with Loddington and
Cransley and Thorpe Malsor; St John the Evangelist, Sutton-
on-Plym and St Peter's, Plymouth; All Saints Shard End in
Birmingham; Brompton Regis with Upton and Skilgate; St


The College at Large
Alban's, Highgate in Birmingham. The Benefice of St Mary
Magdalene, Paddington and St Peter, Paddington was made
official by the Commissioners on 22 May 2009. A new name
ofWatershed Benefice is being considered for Blymill with
Weston-under-Lizard and Lapley with Wheaton Aston.
Year Groups
In September 2008, the Warden presided over a celebration
lunch to mark the 50 yearanniversary for 1958 year group.
The programme for the day included an exhibition of the Keble
archives from the late 1950s, a display of the projected plans
for the development of the former Acland site and tours of the
College.
Each year the College holds two Reunion Weekends, including
a Gaudy Dinner on the Saturday night, and Old Members are
invited on a quinquennial basis. InJune this year the 1994-9
year groups returned and the 2000-4 year groups came back
in September. These represent the youngest and largest groups
to be invited back to date. The programme for each Reunion
offers a variety of tours, lectures and activities both in College
and across the University. All were well attended and the
College bar reported unprecedented Reunion takings.
Through the work of the Development Office, Keble
endeavours to provide a programme of communications, events
and fundraising that will keep Old Members connected with
each other and with the College. Each year group has at least
one, and often three or four, representatives who provide vital
help in order to achieve these aims. In addition to contributing
much valued time and effort as a point of contact for
contemporaries, representatives also encourage support for the
Talbot Fund and provide vital feedback. This effort is reflected
in the high percentage participation rate of Old Members
supporting Keble and placing the College in the top third across
the University. This input is greatly appreciated.
If anyone would like to know more about the work of
the Development Office or the Talbot Fund and would
like to get involved, please contact Camilla Matterson,
camilla.matterson@keble.ox.ac.uk, 01865 272794.


Keble College: The Record 2009
Gifts and Bequests
Donations to Keble in 2008-9 reached an impressive £1,492,532. Ofthis
£1,037,445 was given as new single gifts and pledge instalments.
During the year legacies were received from Dr A Adair, Mrl L Bell,
Lieutenant Colonel GN A Curtis, Mr W E Fletcher, Mrs E Knowles,
Mr A TL Pitt, Mr R H Robbins and Mr CF Shrewsbury. The total
value of these bequests of [455,087 is a significant proportion of the
total fundraising income, and will make a marked difference to the
opportunities available to our current and future students. The College
is extremely grateful to all those who have made a commitment in their
will through joining the Douglas Price Society.
Each year the Talbot Fund Telethon in September is successful in
increasing the number of Old Members supporting the College. One in
four Old Members, across all age-groups, have contributed to the Fund.
This significant proportion compares very favourably with other colleges
and we hope that it will continue to grow as the Talbot Fund fourishes.
The total cash income to the Talbot Fund in 2008-9 was over £400k.
This income is vitally important; by raising funds from donations the
College is able to maintain and enhance the level of provision available
to all students and staff - academically, socially and in the fabric of the
College environment.
The fundraising for the new Chapel organ has also gathered momentum
during the year with the announcement in the Trinity issue of the brick
that the College has commissioned the renowned organ builder Kenneth
Tickell to design and complete the work. The College commitment to
match donations up to the value of £150k has increased The Fund to
£410,129k. Thank you to all Old Members and friends of the College
who have supported this project.
The Warden's letter outlines plans for the redevelopment of the Acland
site and the formation of the College's ambitious Vision for 2020.
Following the formation ofthe Campaign Board the fundraising has
commenced with a pre-launch phase' generating donations and pledges
in excess of £5 million within the first six months.
By way of thanks and acknowledgement we are delighted to list below
all those Old Members, friends and staff who have made a contribution
to the College this year. The importance of your support cannot be
overstated and it is hugely appreciated by the College.
Thank you for taking part in securing a dynamic and exciting future for
Keble.

However sadly in 2006 Paul became depressed, then psychotic,
listening to music and clubbing excessively; this lead to drug
use. Sadly medication was not initially forthcoming. He was
hospitalized in 2007. Paul was very depressed that he did
not achieve his full potential in his M.Eng. The brakes have
finished screeching on his 'full steam ahead' train. The tsunami,
the tropical storm, thunder, lightning and soaking deluge that
was his short life has precipitously ended. Suddenly we are left
becalmed, drifting aimlessly on deep unseen ocean currents,
and barely aware of the days and nights passing us by. The
wind has been utterly taken out of our sails. Please God we do
pray and trust that you are now looking after Paul, who is in
our hearts forever. We know absolutely that we will see him
and be with him again; otherwise we would find this totally
unbearable. He just caught the bus ahead of us. 23 ofl his Oxford
University friends attended his funeral in Cornwall. Dan
Holman, recent UKLA National champion, held his trophy
aloft saying This is for Coxie - lots of you know him, he
should have been here but he isn't.'

Keble College: The Record 2009
The Keble Association
The provision of financial support to those undergraduates
and graduates who are suffering financial hardship or who
are undertaking challenging projects in furtherance of their
education, lies at the heart of the work of the Keble Association,
which draws its resources from the subscriptions and donations
of Old Members and the income received from this investment.
Notwithstanding the fall in the value of the Association's
investment in the light of the international financial situation,
the Association's income continued to match its expenditure on
grants.
David Senior, President, writes:
At the time of its 2009 AGM, the total sum provided by the
Association was £35,600, £7,800 more than in the previous
year. A total of 122 individual grants had been awarded, with
an equal division between male and female students, and
66 going to undergraduates and 56 to graduates. Graduates
were more strongly represented in the study fund, and
undergraduates drew more strongly on funding for travel.
The AGM was held in College on Saturday 4July 2009 and
in the absence of the President, the chair was taken by Vivek
Sharma (1988), Executive Committee Member and past
Treasurer of the Association.
The Secretary, Scott Barnes (1975), reported that the Trustees
had met twice during the past twelve months and the Executive
Committee three times (October 2008,January and April
2009). Three retiring Trustees, Tony Hewlett (1964), Angela
Fox (1993) and Nicholas Fox (1994) were re-elected for a further
five year term.
During the year,Julie Hutton (née Willcox 1983) assumed the
responsibilities of Membership Secretary and Chris Scott (1988)
gave up his responsibilities for developing contacts with today's
junior members after laying a firm foundation for this important
element of the Trustees' duties. Work is now proceeding on
redefining and expanding the work Chris undertook.
One of the responsibilities of the Trustees is to ensure that
information about its activities is readily accessible to members;
in addition to the printed Annual Review, the Association
website provides up-to-date information about its activities.
During the AGM, the Chairman placed on record the
Association's thanks to the Chairman, Stan Szaroleta (1968) and


The College at Large
members of the Grants Committee, and to the Senior Tutor,
Marc Brodie, for his help and advice, and also to Angela and
Nicholas Fox for their work on maintaining the website.
The Association very much values the support of the College
and the participation of the Warden in the work ofi its Executive
Committee; it welcomes the fact that in re-organizing the work
of the College Development Committee, the link with the
Association through its President has been maintained.
The Association has also placed on record its appreciation of
the advice and assistance it has received from Isla Smith, the
College's Development Executive, and at the AGM members
resolved unanimously that she should be offered Honorary
Membership of the Association. The Association looks
forward to working with Jenny Tudge, the new Director of
Development, and Ruth Cowen, Alumni Relations Officer, in
the future.
The London Dinner
Angela Fox writes: At the kind invitation of Patrick Shovelton
CB CMG (1937), the 73rd Annual London Dinner was held once
again at Brooks's Club on Friday, 30 January 2009.
The President of the Keble Association, David Senior (1955),
presided. The Great Subscription Room provided the gorgeous
backdrop for a convivial evening shared by 52 old and current
members of the College and their guests. The evening's repast
included spiced Morecambe Bay potted shrimps, chicken breast
with sun-blushed tomatoes and parmesan cream sauce, and a
deliciously comforting bread and butter pudding with a sauce
anglaise, followed by coffee and vintage port. The members in
attendance represented matriculation years from 1938 to 2007.
The President welcomed the guests, and grace was said by Mike
Lambert (1959). The loyal toast was proposed by the President.
Patrick Shovelton followed with an entertaining and insightful
introduction to the history of Brooks's and the beautiful art
adorning the Great Subscription Room.
Jason Whelan (1986), who travelled from Moscow to attend
the dinner, gave a rousing toast to the College. The Warden
responded with a review of the year in College, highlighting the
well-received publication of Keble Past and Present and outlining


Keble College: The Record 2009
the College's approach to the challenges posed by the economic
slowdown.
Bob Burgess (1949), long-time former organizer of the London
Dinner and loyal supporter of the College and the Association,
toasted the junior members. Philipp Riede, President of the
MCR, responded with a lively report on student life over the
past year, including the arts and Keble's sporting highs and
lows.
Following the speeches, guests mingled at the bar and admired
the stately surroundings of the Great Subscription Room.
The 2010 London Dinner is expected to be held on the last
Friday ofJanuary 2010. An application form will accompany
this issue of The Record and, nearer the date, will also appear
on the College www.keble.ox.ac.uk) and Keble Association
(www.kebleassociation.org) websites.'
