FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Professor Geoffrey Ward

On a balmy day in August, seated amid the Gothic splendour of Munich’s Frauenkirche while listening to the Charter Choir of Homerton College on top form, I felt a twinge of apprehension. So many of those singing had in fact just graduated. This was their swan song. Our Director of Music was going to have to start afresh, build a new Choir for the new academic year, and do so quickly.

I need not have worried. The Choir, heard by many with great pleasure at the Alumni Reunion Weekend, are back on form, their Michaelmas Term auditions leading to a seamless segue. They will sing on a number of occasions in celebration

of the College’s 250th anniversary in 2018. But I often get that twinge. It is triggered by a paradox. I like paradoxes, because they are true. The University of Cambridge has thrived for 800 years, yet its success stems from the rapid advance through its archways and libraries and laboratories of students who may stay only for a few years, birds of passage on their way to lives elsewhere. The successive waves of students, visiting scholars, and scientists gain from, but also give so much, and keep the University and Homerton moving forwards.

It follows that we have some new faces among our Fellowship. We have been joined by Professor Mary Dixon-Woods, leader of a fiftystrong research institute set to accelerate the transmission of best practice in, and therefore

help save, the NHS. In an arrangement we believe to be a first, the Institute’s sole College partner is Homerton. Also we are honoured that the former Vice-Chancellor, Professor Sir Leszek Borysiewiecz, will shortly be sworn-in as an Honorary Fellow of the College. In another seamless segue, different from the Choir’s but of huge importance to the wider community, Cambridge has welcomed his successor, Professor Stephen Toope. The new Vice-Chancellor and I spoke at an event in New York City in December which was attended by over 300 Cambridge alumni and their guests.

Homerton is a place that people want to come to. The successes of those who join us go beyond the academic. It was a delight to see two Homertonians in the Women’s Crew smash the existing record at this year’s Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race. But the arrival of new people means making this a place that can live up to their talents, ambitions and needs. The old Cavendish Bar, off the Great Hall, charming but

too small for regular use, is becoming a new suite of Cavendish Rooms. With Feilden Fowles Architects we are working on plans for the new Dining Hall, with its butterfly-roof and innovative use of ceramic skyward-soaring fins. Homerton is, in so very many ways, on the up.

However, there is a paradox here that we can all recognise and derive pleasure from. Not everything we do is new, and our name comes not from the Shire but from the East End of London, and a debating society that became an academy, that moved and morphed and that continues to change. 2018 will mark our 250th anniversary, and I was proud to launch the lead-up to next year by unveiling an impressive sculpture by Henry Moore, Locking Piece, which we have acquired on generous loan from the Henry Moore Foundation. Evidently inanimate objects, as well as people, want to come here too.

There is speculation and anxiety in some quarters that in this age of Artificial Intelligence and robots, people and machines are merging. What is it to be Human? is one of three Burning Questions to which we will devote a day of debate and visiting speakers in 2018, the anniversary of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Aptly, it is also the anniversary of a year in which some women were granted the vote, and so Driving Change will also be the theme for a day’s discussions, as will The Future of Healthcare, a topic on which Homerton can pronounce and stimulate new ideas with increasing authority.

Just as Queen’s Wing has been splendidly refurbished, in part to make more room for the College Archives, the whole of Homerton looks back to its origins and forwards to the future with pride and confidence. I am proud to lead it. You will forgive me if I break off here. I feel a twinge coming on n

SENIOR TUTOR’S REPORT

Dr Penny Barton

Our 2017 exam results matched the 2016 ‘bestever’ results, so we are very happy to be resting on a sunlit plateau (as a seismologist myself I can’t bring myself to describe it as a seismic shift!). All our academic staff are working hard to continue the upward trajectory, including a more formal, but flexible, programme of oversight for students who did not perform so well for various reasons. Economics, History, Law, Maths, Education, and Medicine were our star performers this year. Large Triposes such as Natural Sciences conceal a number of individual

subjects – for instance few would guess that we are one of the biggest Colleges in Physics, second only to Trinity and Churchill this year. The College is particularly delighted to find itself top of the ‘value-added’ table of all Colleges tracking the performance of the graduating cohort through their three years. We are the only College to show a statistically significant improvement in our graduating students’ performance in 2017 relative to their first year. This is a very encouraging result given our commitment to offering places to applicants from a broad range of backgrounds who may have received very variable preparation at school. The evidence for a significant increase in performance whilst they are with us shows that

we are succeeding in teaching and developing our students and helping them to realise their full potential during their time here.

This year has seen the initiation of some new Triposes, with Education being reorganised into three routes (Education, Psychology and Learning; Education, Policy and International Development; and Education, English, Drama and the Arts), a new degree in Archaeology, and new joint options in History and Politics and History and MML. We have admitted students in all these new degrees this year, and are making plans to complete the set of all Cambridge degree subjects with Veterinary Science and Architecture in the next few years.

On the Tutorial side, the major change we implemented in 2017 was an extended induction programme for incoming first years. Months of planning and preparation were over in a few days, with three mornings of fairly formal presentations, followed by student led activities, Library tours and more. As always, HUS came up trumps and laid on an excellent and varied programme of activities from the purely social to the ‘useful’ such as cycling safety and tours of the different lecture locations in town. The formal talks were themed, the first day focused on a general College induction (covering such things as how to get your light bulb changed, fire regulations etc). The second featured a briefing about general academic expectations, with sessions on study skills and use of the Library. Speakers from the Arts and Sciences attended and gave invaluable tips about different study styles and priorities. The third day covered wellbeing, starting with a popular breakfast in the Great Hall, and included a terrific presentation by recent Homerton graduate Sam Martin titled Smarter Study Made Simple, based on his own experiences at Homerton. The whole programme was declared a success, and this type of welcome is definitely here to stay.

The Homerton Summer Schools were once more a great success. This year we hosted

two separate weeks for Arts (43 students) and Sciences (47 students) as well as University summer schools for Engineering and Archaeology. The Arts/Humanities programme included hotly contested debates on Brexit and whether 16 yearolds should be able to vote, whilst the Scientists worked on code breaking, probability, DNA replication, biomedicine and more, with several visits to University Departments. Students also experienced Cambridge-type supervisions and were given lots of information and encouragement about applying to Cambridge, as well as greatly enjoying the social side of their four nights in residence. All participants were high-achieving students from UK maintained schools. Everyone teaching on these courses commented on the very high calibre of students taking part, and we were delighted to see some of the names coming up again amongst this year’s applicants n

BURSAR’S REPORT

Deborah Griffin OBE

At the beginning of 2017, we were able to announce the winners of the architectural competition to design a new Dining Hall, Buttery and kitchens for the College to last the next 100 years! The College management embarked on a series of intensive planning sessions which have continued throughout the year, working in a multi-disciplinary team with the architects, engineers, cost surveyors, landscape gardeners and others. A planning application was submitted at the end of 2017 with a planned start in the last quarter of 2018.

Queen’s Wing underwent a complete refurbishment during 2017 with all plant being upgraded and a lift installed. We now have 13 offices for Fellows and staff, three supervision rooms with the latest technology, and a College Archive capable of growing in content for another

30 years. The front of the building overlooking the Queen’s Wing lawn has a new glass corridor – which has grown on people – and the ground floor has a large gym with a new ergo and weights area and a fitness studio to host an increasing number of activities from ballet to yoga. As I write, the Head Gardener is planting two large beds of David Austin roses either side of the path to replace the existing rose bed which is coming to the end of its life.

With Queen’s Wing completed in the summer we embarked on a project to expand and bring into use the Cavendish Bar adjacent to the Great Hall. This wing to the west of the Hall will mirror the wing to the east (which currently houses the Bursary and staircase to ABC), as it should have done when Cavendish College was first built. We are taking the opportunity to restore the stonework and stained glass windows and provide outdoor seating so that our beautiful landscaped gardens can be appreciated while sipping a drink. The renamed Cavendish Rooms, due for completion in summer 2018, will provide additional social and work space for our students.

Our planning application with St Mary’s School to develop the nine acres of sports fields they own on Long Road, and provide floodlit artificial pitches for hockey and netball, tennis courts, and rugby, lacrosse and football fields, has crawled through a complicated

process. As I reported last year, news of the outcome of the planning application is imminent.

We continue to invest in the education of our students. We engaged a new College Teaching Officer (CTO) in Engineering and have expanded the cohort of engineers. Our Student Liaison Officer is now a full-time post and we have significantly increased our outreach programme with more school visits and summer schools visiting Homerton to encourage students to apply to Cambridge who may not previously have thought to.

Rentals from the Homerton Business Centre development commenced in September 2016. The residential development, Homerton Gardens, through the College’s joint venture partnership with Hill, was completed in December 2016 with the last house under offer

in December 2017. Two sculptures by local artist Harry Gray now grace the site as well. Our investment portfolio returned a stellar performance of 14% to June 2017.

The accounts for the financial year to 30 June 2017 were approved by the Governing Body on 1 December and again demonstrate the increasing investment being made in the academic activities of the College and support for students. The full report is available on the College website.

Although our investment revenues increased income by c. £2m, investment in education and the College estate meant that a £0.5m deficit in 2015-16 only became a £0.3m operating surplus in 2016-17, underlying the importance of diversifying and growing our income, particularly from donations n

FROM THE LIBRARY

As we reach the close of 2017

I look back over a year of success, and also look forward to new developments in 2018.

Earlier in the year a number of Library staff attended the biannual OxCam conference. This one day event brings together College Library staff from Oxford and Cambridge to learn from each other, share best practice, and network. As ever, it was an enlightening day featuring talks on such diverse areas as using manuscript fragments as teaching tools and using social media in libraries (subtitled If in doubt, put a cat in it!).

Whilst not featuring any feline friends, the Library did have its own five minutes of fame on both social media and the local news in October. Following a Twitter post featuring our articulated skeleton ‘Sid’, publicising that we loan skeletons to our medical students, we had requests from the BBC, ITV and Cambridge News to run stories! This was fantastic publicity, but we’re still not entirely sure what piqued their interest so much...

It has been a busy year for Library staff. We welcomed Gabriel Duckels at the start of the year, and he is now an integral part of the enquiry desk team. In August our Deputy Librarian, Rosie Austin, welcomed a son, Jack, already a librarian in training.

We were fortunate to recruit Jess Taylor, an alumna of the College, for her maternity cover.

Over the summer we welcomed the Homerton International Programme students into the College Library, providing them with support and resources during their stay. It was good to see them using the Library and getting to grips with some difficult material.

The second half of the year has seen staff starting to orientate themselves with the new Library management system for the University, which launches in January 2018. This has been an enormous project, which I have been directly involved with on a secondment one day a week.

The Homerton team, and all library staff across the University, have had to get to grips with a new discovery service, perform testing to ensure the accuracy of data and set up, and attend training, so that we can hopefully hit the ground running at launch.

Over the course of the year we were able to purchase a few children’s books at auction to complement our collection, including a 1904 edition of Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens illustrated by Arthur Rackham. The Library and Archive also continue to receive generous donations from alumni, Retired Senior Members and members of the public. We are extremely grateful for these gifts and extend our thanks to all donors. It is a privileged ‘problem’ to have a backlog of donations for cataloguing!

For the Archive in particular, it is often the less ‘valued’ and ephemeral items that can be of most interest, as these items tend not to have been retained across the years. A recent example is a student memoir album (pictured) donated after being part of an auction lot. We also continue to seek out photographs of year groups, as our records are sadly incomplete. If you have a year group, sports team, or society photo that you might be happy to donate (or indeed anything else from your Homerton days) please contact Svetlana Paterson, the

Archivist, so our holdings can be checked (archives@homerton.cam.ac.uk).

The Library and Archive have also been playing their part in preparations for the Homerton 250 celebrations and we are looking forward to sharing a few treasures and unusual artefacts over the year.

The biggest development for the Archive in 2017 has been the creation of a new storage space and reading room in the refurbished Queen’s Wing. With temperature and humidity control, this facility is a leap forward in ensuring the preservation of the unique record of Homerton’s history. It also provides a dedicated space for visitors to be able to consult records; a huge improvement on previous facilities, and one which we hope alumni will utilise. As with any large project, it has not been without its ‘snags’, but we are grateful to the Estates team for their work in ironing these out and look forward to growing our collection in the anniversary year n

2017 NEWS HIGHLIGHTS

A Midsummer Night’s Dream (with unicorns!)

The annual Cambridge American Stage Tour (CAST) has provided the opportunity to showcase some of Cambridge’s most talented actors, designers, directors and technicians across the pond, performing Shakespeare plays and leading workshops in a wide variety of venues for the past seventeen years. This year, two current third year Education with English and Drama students, Xanthe Burdett and Helen Vella Taylor, were chosen to be part of a modernised production of A Midsummer

Night’s Dream. The company performed in Florida, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York and Connecticut, then finished off with a week’s run in the Cayman Islands, before heading home to the ADC Theatre in Cambridge.

‘I played the character of Bottom in our production, a female self-assured thesp turned donkey lover. Often, Bottom is played as an oaf-like, clueless character – but I had fun emphasising her self-indulgent sassiness and

complete commitment to the art of performance. Rather than using a donkey’s head, our Bottom was transformed into a sickly-sweet sparkly unicorn for the famous love scene between her and Titania (owner of ‘The Woods’ nightclub!). My favourite scene to perform was the show’s play within a play – Pyramus and Thisbe. I played Bottom as a valiant Thisbe brandishing a sword and cape, allowing the character to completely indulge in performative ridiculousness.

More rewarding still was our participation in Shakespeare and performance workshops organised by our Education Officer, Harrie Gooch (who also studied at Homerton College before graduating earlier this year). We worked with groups of primary age children right up to university seniors and explored a wide range of theatrical techniques including clowning, extracting comedy from text, and rhythm and iambic pentameter. One particularly memorable workshop in Pennsylvania involved 30 five-yearolds exploring the play’s fairy characters. We collaboratively rehearsed a monologue, each child embodying a line… ‘Over hill, over dale, thorough bush, thorough brier…’ By the end of the workshop, each child was able to say ‘I’ve performed Shakespeare’.’

Helen Vella Taylor

‘Playing Helena in this year’s tour of A Midsummer Night’s Dream was a fantastic experience. The production had a really modern, vibrant and glittery aesthetic, full of pastel neon lights and holographic costumes, which went down well with the schools we visited. The Helena I played wasn’t so much the simpering love-struck fool that she is often portrayed as, but instead was a determined force of nature who knew what she wanted and would stop at nothing to get it. To prepare for the tour we rehearsed in Cambridge for a month over August before catching a flight to Miami at the start of September. Although we were disrupted slightly by hurricane Irma – which was predicted to directly hit Florida! – we made a speedy evacuation and then started an epic eighteen hour drive up to North Carolina. Performing at so many venues was an amazing opportunity to really develop and polish the show and staying with host families (often generous community members or families from the school) was certainly an immersive experience of America’s East Coast.’

Chris Riddell delivers the 2017 Philippa Pearce Lecture

Celebrated illustrator and political cartoonist Chris Riddell delivered the 2017 Philippa Pearce Lecture on The Age of the Beautiful Book to a full house at Homerton College on Friday, 8 September.

His talk focused on the role of beautiful books in encouraging young readership, his own initiation into the social media age and his creative process towards new artistic projects. The lecture also featured live illustrations by Chris, a short question and answer session and a book signing.

Thanking him, Louise Joy, Fellow in English at Homerton and a member of the Philippa Pearce Lecture organising committee, said:

‘Chris’s sumptuous lecture prompted us to reflect on the profundity and thrill of art, not just when it has been painstakingly worked and reworked until it is perfected, but also when it is produced spontaneously, unfolding before us in real time to ignite that inexpressible something that mere prose can never approximate.’

Philippa Pearce died in 2006, but respect and affection for her writing is as strong as ever. In her memory, a series of lectures is now underway, each intended to celebrate

excellence in writing for children. The inaugural lecture was held at the College on 11 September 2008 and focused on Philippa Pearce’s own writing and contribution to children’s literature. Subsequent lectures have ranged more widely and speakers have included Michael Rosen, Michael Morpurgo, Philip Pullman, Malorie Blackman, Kevin CrossleyHolland, Meg Rosoff, Frank Cottrell-Boyce, and Allan Ahlberg.

The 2018 Lecture will celebrate 10 years of the series and be given by Frances Hardinge on 19 April 2018. Details can be found at: www.pearcelecture.com

Homerton’s 249th Birthday Party

Homerton celebrated its 249th anniversary on Friday, 27 October 2017, marking almost a quarter of a century since our foundation in Homerton, London in 1768.

To kick off our 250th year, students, staff, and Fellows filled the Great Hall to celebrate the anniversary. As well as launching the branding, merchandise, and website with which we hope you will become familiar over the next year, attendees took part in a toast to the College, past and present, and enjoyed a celebration cake in the shape of the Homerton Horn. The Horn is a key part of the Homerton experience for all of our students, and many were astonished to discover it had been recreated in cake form!

To cut the cake, Principal Geoff Ward was joined by the JCR President, Miranda Hewkin Smith, and MCR Presidents, Joe McLoughlin

and Ezra Aydin, as representatives of the undergraduate and postgraduate community (pictured on the front of this Review).

The afternoon also featured dance and music by current Homerton students. This included the first showing of a dance entitled Setting Out, marking the arrival of two new sculptures by local artist Harry Gray. Situated next to the railway line at the foot of College, the sculptures refer to the site’s previous owner, restoration company Rattee and Kett. Under the guidance of Emeritus Fellow Trish Maude, the piece was choreographed and performed by undergraduates Beth Corker, Vicky Lampitt, Phoebe Rimmer, and Ayeisha Vaze.

Attendees were also treated to a performance of Fanfare for Homerton by Nicolas Walker (BA Music 2014–2017), the winning entry of the Homerton College Composition Competition 2017. This was

To help us tell the world about Homerton College in its 250th year, we have a new anniversary website: www.homerton250.org

The website will showcase what makes Homerton the College it is today, and for this we need your help!

performed by current students, including Homertonians Nick Smith, Rory Gordon, and Christopher Baczkowski.

A highlight of the day was the unveiling of Locking Piece by Henry Moore. The Principal and Sebastiano Barassi, Head of Collections and Exhibitions for the Henry Moore Foundation, did the honours.

The Principal said: ‘When I arrived as Principal five years ago, the Archivist showed me a black and white photograph from the mid-sixties of a young woman standing next to a man, smiling at a sculpture by Henry Moore. The idea lodged in my mind that although that particular sculpture was no longer on the College grounds – wouldn’t it be great if the opportunity arose to get a ‘new’ Henry Moore.

The reason it is called Locking Piece is that the sculptor found a broken pebble which he thought was interesting and tactile. Then he found another piece of stone or pebble and he put the two together and they slotted into place, so he blew this up to very large

dimensions and turned it into a sculpture. I think there is something which resonates with Homerton College there – that you can put unexpected things together, and they lock or make a new whole. That’s how ideas are born in the minds of students and researchers, because as part of the great University of Cambridge, what we are about is research, teaching and the future.’

We are grateful for the long-term loan of this piece from the Henry Moore Foundation, which we hope will inspire and interest all those who spend time at the College. The loan of this piece also continues a link between Homerton and Henry Moore, which began through sculptor Betty Rea, member of the Art Department (1949–1964), and Principal Beryl Paston Brown (1961–1971), both good friends of the artist himself. The sculpture, nearly three metres high, is now located on the Mary Allan Building lawn, just inside the College behind the Porters’ Lodge. It was created from fibreglass in 1971 for Moore’s 1972 exhibition at the Forte di Belvedere in Florence.

New Honorary Fellow

Professor Sir Leszek Borysiewicz, until recently Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, has been elected Homerton’s latest Honorary Fellow. Professor Borysiewicz served as Vice-Chancellor from 2010 to 30 September 2017.

An immunologist, Professor Borysiewicz was known in his earlier career for his work on Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), helping to develop a vaccine which is now available as a matter of routine in the UK. He was Deputy Rector of Imperial College London until 2007 when he was appointed Chief Executive of the UK’s Medical Research Council, which provides funding and shapes national strategy in medical research.

He currently serves as Chair of Cancer Research UK, and is a non-executive director of the new UK Research and Innovation Board (UKRI).

In his seven years at the helm of the University of Cambridge – the maximum term –he consistently emphasised excellence in teaching and research, and Cambridge’s global mission. He championed the Cambridge Africa Programme, and led the ongoing fundraising campaign to raise £2 billion for Collegiate Cambridge.

He prioritised support for the significant number of postdoctoral researchers at Cambridge – a diverse group of nearly 4,000, typically employed for a 3 or 4 year project. The new Office of Postdoctoral Affairs provides personal development, networking, careers advice and dedicated Postdoc Centres.

Born in Cardiff to Polish parents – refugees who fled from a Siberian camp in World War II – Professor Boryseiwicz is proud of widening access to Cambridge to students of ability from all backgrounds.

Professor Sir Leszek Borysiewicz delivering the inaugural Kate Pretty Lecture, The Cambridge of Tomorrow, at Homerton in February.

A tremendous fan of rugby, Professor Borysiewicz is also President of CURUFC. As an Honorary Fellow of Homerton, he joins Dr Kate Pretty CBE, Ann Cotton OBE, Dame Sally Davies, Dame Carol Ann Duffy, Dame Evelyn Glennie CH, Sir David Harrison (a former Vice-Chancellor of two universities, Keele and Exeter), Sir Andrew Motion, Meg Rosoff, and Rev’d Dr Ralph Waller.

Homerton rowers triumph again

Cambridge University Women’s Boat Club fielded the fastest women’s coxed four at the Fours’ Head of the River races on Sunday, 12 November. The boat included three current students (Olivia Coffey, Alice White, and Kelsey Barolak) and CUWBC President Daphne Martschenko, who completed a Masters at Homerton before continuing to a PhD at Magdalene.

Homerton’s Alice White, who won the Elite Coxless Four at the same event last year, speaking after the event said:

‘It just goes to show, we’ve got something pretty special at Cambridge!’

The boat finished a clear four seconds ahead of Leander Club, against competition from across the UK. CUWBC crews also finished 5th, 6th and 12th in the same category for coxed fours. In addition, CUWBC also raced 2 coxless fours in the top category which finished 3rd and 6th among some very strong crews including a Leander crew which had three members of the GB Women’s Eight on board. The CUWBC Lightweights, in ‘Granta’, raced in a quad among open weight opposition, and finished in a creditable 12th position in their category. CUWBC’s Chief Coach commented:

‘We have had some good results across all of our crews at the Fours’ Head demonstrating the good depth in the Squad this year.’

A new look for Queen’s Wing

Renovations to Queen’s Wing were completed over the summer allowing for new offices, a brand new gym, a fitness studio, and a much improved Archive space.

The renovations have created new offices for staff and Fellows, plus new supervision rooms boasting the latest technology. A new fitness studio is situated on the ground floor, designed to replace the Dance Studio (built in 1990), which is due to be removed in order to make space for the construction of the new Dining Hall. This complements the new, larger gym which features an improved range of equipment.

Francesca Moore, College Fellow and Homerton College Boat Club (HCBC) Treasurer, said:

‘Homerton’s new gym has transformed life for our rowers. There are four brand-new Concept Two Model D ergs plus new weights in addition to the wide range of existing equipment such as treadmills. Previously, team ergs would have to be done in the boathouse but now, it’s all on site! The new fitness studio alongside the gym space is used regularly by HCBC for circuit training and yoga practice too. In 2017, HCBC broke the world record for the longest continuous indoor erg. With these superb new facilities, there’s no stopping us on or off the river!’

A new glass corridor provides a covered walkway to the gym and fitness studio and is complemented by flower beds, carefully designed by Homerton’s Gardening Department. The beds are planted in memory of the late Jacqueline Welford, née Thompson (CertEd 1943–1945), who left a generous legacy to the College. Head Gardener, Richard Thompson, said:

‘We chose David Austin English roses for their old rose shape, full blossoms and distinctive fragrance. Bourbon roses were also chosen as they flower repeatedly, adding continued colour. Single colour roses (Darcey Bussell and Queen Elizabeth) will be planted in blocks next to the covered walkway. The lawn next to Queen’s Wing will have eleven beds of soft coloured roses backed by yew hedges, designed to draw the eye to the sculpture Stretching Figure by Betty Rea, a focal point at the end of the path.’

Whilst Queen’s Wing no longer contains accommodation, it still houses many memories as the College Archive has moved to the building. The larger archive space boasts a reading and research area, climate controlled storage, and ample space for new additions. Tours of the new Archive will be included in the Alumni Reunion Weekend 2018 schedule.

HUS President’s Report

Charter Choir of Homerton College

HUS PRESIDENT’S REPORT

Miranda Hewkin Smith, President of the Homerton Union of Students

2017 has once again been a very impressive year for Homerton’s students. This year’s graduates received exam results which matched the high standards achieved in 2016 –notably Homerton’s best ever results. Alongside this, the College’s first year admitting Medics has proved very successful, with Homerton coming 6th out of all Cambridge Colleges for our results in Medicine. As a College, we are delighted to report that Homerton’s undergraduates show the most statistically significant improvement in results during their time here than any other Cambridge College. We are extremely proud, and very much look forward to seeing a continuation of this level of excellence.

However, Homerton’s achievements expand far beyond academia. Already this academic year, over a dozen Homerton students have been awarded Student Representation Awards for winning Blue and Half-Blue status in University sports. As usual, the ADC Theatre continues to be largely run and its stage dominated by Homertonians in various roles, from directors to lead actors to set-designers. I am proud of the talent shown by this year’s students, and am excited to lead the Students’ Union into Homerton’s 250th year by showcasing such talent.

HUS Committees past and present have worked hard to offer unmatched services and support to students. This ranges from the Cambridge tradition of College Families, a unique support network which creates lasting friendships, to the more recent Welfare initiative to look after each other anonymously during the infamous Week 5, by becoming someone’s secret ‘welfairy’ and posting notes and gifts in their pigeon hole.

This year’s team also organised and executed an extended Freshers’ Week, which provided a fortnight’s worth of activities for undergraduates and postgraduates. Although the HUS Office has now moved from our old office next to the Griffin Bar and Buttery to the former Leah Manning Meeting Room, we are still very much a hub for students, providing welfare support, equipment loan services and a fully stocked stationery and stash shop!

In a year which has surprised us in many ways, we have been adapting to modern-day life as a College. Earlier in 2017, we topped off celebrations of Green Week with a Green Formal which boasted all locally and sustainably sourced food. But our efforts did not begin and end with that week: 75% of the meat served in College is farmed in Cambridge, all fish is sustainably sourced, we only use locally sourced, free-range eggs, all disposable packaging is compostable and all our tea and coffee is organic, Fairtrade and Rainforest Alliance certified. This is why our Catering Department has received a Silver Award from Cambridge Sustainable Foods.

Equally, it is not only in the Catering Department where Homerton makes an effort to protect the planet – the most recently-built accommodation block, Morley House, has solar panels installed on its roof to help decrease the College’s CO2 emissions, and all new builds in College have the environment at the forefront of all planning discussions.

While Homerton is absolutely looking forward and pioneering the future of Cambridge Colleges, we are by no means leaving traditions behind us. In June, a dedicated team of students pulled off the biggest May Ball the College has ever seen! Led by President, Vicki Hodgson, the May Ball Committee welcomed students, Fellows, staff, and alumni to

the ‘House of Fun’ – a circus themed ball complete with jugglers, stilt-walkers and a full-sized helter skelter! This year’s committee have already begun work on the special 250th anniversary May Ball in 2018, which promises to be bigger and better still.

Of course, the May Ball is just one of the many events which will be happening during the 250th anniversary year: there will be many opportunities

for both current students and alumni to get involved in the celebrations, with guest lectures, alumni events and of course the Homerton 250 Festival on 27 October 2018. I have no doubt that this year will be extraordinary, whilst simultaneously continuing Homerton’s trend of academic excellence and social progress. I look forward to celebrating with you all n

CHARTER CHOIR OF HOMERTON COLLEGE

Dr Daniel Trocmé-Latter, Director of Music

This calendar year has, admittedly, been a bit of a stay-at-home period for the Charter Choir. We can’t put it all down to jetlag – by the time of our first rehearsal of January 2017, our return from New York in September 2016 already seemed like a distant memory. However, this low-key year was a chance to get back into the Choir’s regular Friday/Tuesday routine without too many extra commitments cluttering the calendar, and the results were pleasing: the Choir sang consistently well all year, building on a steady increase in confidence and quality over a number of years.

Valentine’s Day brought with it the opportunity to sing (and dine) with the Choir of St Catharine’s College: this match-making exercise resulted in a splendid rendition of the much-loved setting of George Dyson’s Evening Service in D, as well as the seasonally appropriate Greater Love Hath No Man by John Ireland.

Our new Organ Scholar, Chris Baczkowski (BA History 2016–2019), has also settled in well; his playing brings great colour and vigour to the organ at the Church of St John the Evangelist (where our services take place), even when the pressures of parish life reduce the availability of the organ and thus lead to practice time being rather more limited than it ought to be.

Our first Evensong of Easter Term marked the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, which featured at least four musical renditions of Martin Luther’s famous hymn tune Ein feste Burg, the highlight being the opening chorus from J.S. Bach’s cantata BWV 80.

In the summer we embarked on a voyage of German discovery to places great and small throughout Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria. We sang in a variety of venues, from the modest (but warmly welcoming) Grünmettstetten in the valley of the River Neckar, to the ornate St Georg in Ulm and the spectacular Frauenkirche in Munich. We also performed the same movement from Ein feste Burg (BWV 80) in the Stuttgart Stiftskirche, after which the Choir were given a tour of the bell tower to witness spectacular views over the city as well as the midday tolling of the (very large – and loud) bell up close! Alas, I failed to make it beyond the mid-week point of the tour, having to fly back to the UK rather suddenly because of the imminent arrival of the newest member of the Trocmé-Latter family. All was not lost for the Choir, though: they were left in the capable hands of Coleman Chan, who graduated in 2016 but joined the tour in preparation for this exact eventuality. Thanks are also due to outgoing HUS President and stalwart bass Will Hewstone, who put in a considerable amount of time and effort not only booking flights and accommodation but also liaising with most of the venues at which the Choir performed. (Charter Choir members seem to have a good record of gaining employment in College postgraduation and then helping organise the tour! Ruth Taylor (HUS President 2015–16) helped with the organisation of our USA tour last year, and Rachel Sweet (Homerton 250 Events and Communications Assistant) is already doing likewise in preparation for our 2018 tour.)

At the time of writing we have just completed a busy term with a new set of voices, including an outstanding Carol Service on 28 November (as close to Christmas as we get during term time!) featuring works by two Homerton Music graduates: Tim Scott (2002–2005) and the very same Coleman Chan. As we gear up for the College’s 250th anniversary celebrations in 2018, we also look forward to some rather special Choir events, including a joint concert with our sister College in Oxford, Harris Manchester (6 March), Evensong in Guildford Cathedral (21 April), and a performance of the Mozart Requiem at St Martin in the Fields (7 May) as part of the Brandenburg Choral Festival. Finally, to round off the year, we will be inviting all former members of the Charter Choir back for the final concert of the 250th celebrations in November 2018. More details to follow!

As always, alumni are most welcome at Charter Choir services and concerts. The Charter Choir website (www.homerton.cam.ac.uk/charterchoir) contains full details of sung services. Alumni are also encouraged to follow the Charter Choir on their Facebook page, at www.facebook.com/ homcharterchoir n

Badminton

2017 has been another great year for badminton at Homerton. In Lent term the team had an excellent Cuppers run beating St Edmund’s, Robinson and St John’s before losing a closely contested match to St Catherine’s in the semifinals. In Michaelmas term the men’s first team finished an impressive second in the top division of the College League. Both the women’s team and the men’s second team remained very active throughout the year, competing in the College League and Cuppers. The men’s second team earned promotion from the bottom division to begin their climb back up the league tables in 2018.

Cameron Grove

Basketball

The Homerton College Basketball team playing in Division 3 of the CUBbC College League, finished the Michaelmas season 1–3, resulting in a 4th place finish out of five teams. In a hard fought relegation match against St Catherine’s College, the Homerton team unfortunately lost by just one point! In Lent term, the team hopes to come out with a stronger performance in Division 4 and Cuppers.

Bill Jia

Cricket

2017 saw Homerton College Cricket Club match their best ever finish in Cuppers after reaching the quarter finals. With a side stacked with players who represent the University, confidence was high heading into the Easter term, especially after a win in the traditional warm-up fixture against Homerton Hackney, London. A series of strong individual performances across the squad led to a 100% record in the group. Comfortable victories

were attained against Christ’s, Jesus and Trinity. Alas, dreams of further progression were dashed by a batting collapse against Emmanuel on a poor batting surface, yet the side will look to build on last year’s progress in the pursuit of success in 2018.

Nathan Johns

Hockey

This term the women’s hockey team has performed remarkably well, managing to win a number of matches despite being unable to train on weekdays and instead relying on working together well on the day. They put up a good fight against Downing College, which has a good reputation for hockey, and won 5–2. This year they have been lucky to have a number of talented PGCE players and new fresher talent! In addition to women’s hockey, mixed hockey this year has been a huge success, the pool of talent for male hockey players at Homerton is plentiful, and they look forward to entering the league next term. Hockey at Homerton, although it seems to be becoming a less popular sport, still has a number of talented students, and with further College investment for training and equipment – everyone hopes to be able to carry on the success next term.

Leticia Salmon

Lacrosse

The Homerton Heroes have had their most successful season to date in 2017. Lent term saw them retain their coveted spot in Division 1 and saw them proceed to the quarter finals of Cuppers. When Lacrosse returned to the forefront of the teams minds at the start of the new academic year they were prepared and ready to dominate Division 1. With new players, brand new sticks, and a rejuvenated attitude,

they approached each game with incredible teamwork, communication, and enthusiasm. As a result they completed this term as the most successful College at Cambridge. The Heroes gained a bonus point on every match for the amount of goals they scored, only lost one match and drew with the eventual Division winners – the Medics. This success is something they cannot wait to continue and improve upon next term. Determined to be top of the entire League, the Heroes are excited to train like never before, encourage more players and show everyone what they are made of.

Elle Curzon-Green

Men’s 1st XI Football

In Lent term, the Homerton Men’s Football team continued an incredible start to their season, by claiming the Division 3 title, winning all of their league games in the process. The year came down to the last game, and a 4–3 win over Emmanuel was enough to guarantee victory under the captaincy of Toby Brown. Oscar Wilson took over for the new year, and the team has had a good start to life in Division 2, with Homerton currently in third place, having won two games out of four. Unfortunately the team were knocked out by a talented Girton side in the Cuppers round of 16, despite a brave second half.

Oscar Wilson

Men’s 2nd XI Football

Homerton II started 2017 in Division 4 of the CUAFL. A tough run of games left them in the relegation zone with two left to play. An unlucky 1–1 draw with Christ’s II, followed by a narrow 1–0 loss to Johns II, left them in Division 5 at the start of the new season. Homerton II started the 2017–2018 season with a huge 13–0 victory over Pembroke III, a win which spurred on another five victories and one draw before the Christmas break. This left

the team unbeaten and top of Division 5 with a strong chance of promotion and qualifying for the quarter finals of the 2017–2018 Shield with a 3–2 victory over Division 4’s St Catherine’s II.

Ben Shergold

Women + Non Binary Football

2017 has been quite successful for the Women and Non-Binary Homerton Football team. Starting off the year with a small (but mighty) squad, they were able to win a very respectable amount of games, considering a lot of the games they played with fewer than 11 players and often no substitutes! A force to be reckoned with, the team often won games with a two or three goal lead. Their chemistry on the field and ability to work together and read each other was unmatched last academic year and has continued to be into Michaelmas. For the latter half of the year, they had to postpone many matches due to lack of players, but all matches played they won (6–4 and 4–0)! Although a few core players are out for injury, they’re looking forward to an exciting Lent term with an increased recruitment drive and further success.

Phoebe Levermore

Mixed Netball

Finishing the year on a high, the Mixed Netball team were promoted from 3rd Division to 2nd, putting them in a great position for Lent term. Well done to all involved!

Miranda Hewkin-Smith

Rowing

In Easter term, Homerton College Boat Club (HCBC) broke the world record for the longest continuous erg. M1 won their division in Champs Head, beating Hughes Hall by 0.1 second. HCBC had a great Mays campaign, both W1 and W2 winning blades, and M1 going up 3. An impressive intake of novices in Michaelmas term kept the newly elected HCBC Captains busy, with over

30 new rowers joining the Club. The novice crews have been very successful in both the Queens Ergs and the Fairbairn Cup, and there is clear potential for a strong performance in Lent Bumps in 2018. Senior members of HCBC have also trained hard over the past term and have ended 2017 on a great note. Men entered a Senior VIII into Fairbairns for the first time in years! With a record number of Senior women training in Michaelmas, HCBC were also able to enter a strong Senior VIII into Fairbairns, which came 6th in the women’s 2nd Division! Perhaps the success of Seniors in Michaelmas can

be attributed to the new ergs that have been installed in the renovated Homerton gym. Anastasia Kopytina and Max Nagy

Tennis

In summer Cuppers the Tennis team made it through to the third round where they unfortunately lost in a close match to Girton. In Michaelmas term they’ve fielded two teams, in Divisions 1 and 3, with the first team winning most of their matches and the second team having a few close losses.

RESEARCH

Research Roundup

RESEARCH ROUNDUP

Dr Melanie Keene, Graduate Tutore

Whether scouring archives or scrutinising data, modelling molecules or interviewing infants, Homertonians contribute to the world-class research activities at the University of Cambridge in many different ways. For 2017, I have chosen to highlight the fascinating and important research done by members of our postgraduate student community.

Homerton graduate students spent the year hard at work on inventive, complex, and exciting thesis research, in locations ranging from the nearby Biomedical Campus, the College Library, or the Morley House MCR, to fieldwork sites in Haiti, Tanzania, China, and Kazakhstan. They secured impressive internships and opportunities with businesses, organisations, and universities near and far (Station Road a more manageable commute than Silicon Valley), and introduced wider audiences to their work by participating in a range of public engagement and science communication initiatives.

Throughout the year, the College’s Research Grants programme assisted Masters and PhD students with the costs of attending conferences or workshops, and with some small fieldwork

expenses, in locations all over the world. Homerton students were able to present their work in talks and on posters, to meet leading scholars in their fields, and to build networks for collaboration (or even future employment): crucial parts of the academic enterprise. We were pleased to once again award two Santander PhD Prizes for outstanding research achievements, this year to Thomas Brouwer and Babatunde Ojewunmi, as well as many Master’s Prizes for obtaining an overall distinction on the course. Our second annual celebration of postgraduate research projects, the Graduate Research Day, took place in Oxford on Saturday, 3 June, hosted by our sister College, Harris Manchester. The Research Day showcased the specialist work undertaken by students at both Master’s and PhD level, as well as providing them with a valuable opportunity to speak in front of a friendly interdisciplinary audience. This year eleven students from the two Colleges presented their work on a wide range of topics across the arts, humanities, and sciences. For example, the topic of war featured as both historic experience

(in Sue Smith’s use of local College material in her A struggle for hearts and minds: conscientious objectors in Oxford in the First World War), and also as a crucial theme in writings for young audiences (as outlined by Vera Veldhuizen in her analysis of how we learn from memory and stories, War –what is it good for? Empathy, ethics, and justice in children’s war literature).

We learned about cutting-edge developments in the life sciences, in Aaron D’Souza’s story of Discovering the function of a new mitochondrial protein, vital for survival, and from Guillermo Parada on the incredible level of precision now available when Fine-tuning control of the genetic information flow; similarly, Daniel Celia Garza showed how splitting problems can help solve them, in his High performance computing in multiscale modelling of materials for fusion energy production. We travelled across the Atlantic to think about The effectiveness of housing policy in Vancouver, thanks to Natasha Virani’s hot-off-the-press (and the plane) fieldwork, and heard Lynne Foote’s aural history of Deep Rivers: W.E.B. Du Bois, H.T. Burleigh, and James Weldon Johnson on the significance of the Negro Spiritual, 1910–1930, with featured performances via YouTube. Rachel Siegman’s presentation on Revival and retraction: discourse on the migration of Syrian refugees to Europe prompted

timely reflections on processes of global transit and refuge, and their political repercussions. Throughout the day, students demonstrated their innovation in scholarly topics and approaches: Joost Harsma detailed how hiphop can be used in psychiatry in his Knowing how wrong you were: precision-weighted prediction errors in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex during reinforcement learning and how it relates to dopamine and psychosis; Jemima Hubberstey used the architecture of aristocratic stables to debate The role of horsemanship in the construction of masculinity in the eighteenth century; and Madeleine Hunter revealed (and revelled in) the intertextuality of recent children’s media in her punningly-titled Bric[k]olage: encounter and convergence in The Lego Movie

Overall, the Graduate Research Day once again showed the strengths of the postgraduate research community, not only in the uniformly excellent student presentations, but also in the lively and wide-ranging questions and discussions which followed the talks, and spilled over into coffee breaks and lunch. We look forward to the next event at Homerton in June 2018, where we will find out about the latest contributions made by our students to the vibrant contemporary research landscape n

DEVELOPMENT

FROM THE DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR

Matthew Moss, Director of External Relations and Development, and Fellow

To report on the past year is to look forward to the next, since on our 249th birthday, 27 October 2017, we launched our 250th anniversary celebrations. From January to December 2018, we will celebrate 250 years of Homerton’s free-thinking education.

The launch was full of cheer, bubbles and cake. Today’s students are very familiar with the Homerton Horn, the drinking vessel passed around ritually at matriculation, high days and holidays, with its associated Anglo-Saxon greeting – it comes as a surprise to them that the ritual, and the object, are relatively recent insertions into Homerton’s story, and have not in fact been around since the foundation! The Homerton Horn birthday cake for 2017 was a thing of unanimous acclamation, and has only left us wondering how inventive our cake will need to be for our 250th birthday party next year. This will take the form of a spectacular one-day festival – more details soon. For now, have a look at our new anniversary website at www.homerton250.org, where you can register your email address and sign up for updates.

Being human (and humane)

Homerton is an astonishing place for our students to grow into adulthood. They will engage intellectually with their subject– while our large, green campus outside the city centre provides the space and time to process their learning, to recharge, and to learn the skills they will need to thrive in tomorrow’s environment. They will learn how to ‘be human’ in the 21st century, and Homerton’s support network, both academic and pastoral, ensures they get there.

The future of healthcare

We are continuingly grateful to CamBioScience Ltd, a young and growing company set up by our Research Fellow Dr Chibeza Agley, for their donations, which go into the Homerton Bioscience Fund. Taking medical students has been hugely energising for the College, and we will be looking for ways of building the fund, and supporting these young students: they are the future of healthcare, and we are carefully embedding this new discipline in Homerton.

All change

Homerton is all about change, as an institution and as a community. As a London foundation in Cambridge, and a teaching institution that became a Cambridge College, we are comfortable with change, and we develop in our students skills in creating and managing positive change. Generations of Homertonqualified teachers form a cohort of the greatest agents of change imaginable, transforming the lives of hundreds of thousands of students.

Burning Questions

These three themes – the future of healthcare, being human, and driving change – are the Burning Questions that provide the framework for our anniversary celebrations in 2018. We chose them because we see people in College – students, teachers and researchers alike –who incarnate the best of these attributes. We have a lot to be proud of.

Donations from our former students and staff support our students in these spheres and more – profound thanks to those of you who contribute. If you donated in response to a call from one of the students participating in the 2017 telephone fundraising campaign, then

you contributed to raising over £110,000 – a new record. These funds help our students through hardship grants, travel grants, access bursaries, and in many other ways.

In all our work, we continue to be grateful for the loyal support of our alumni. I want to

pay particular tribute to the Wessex branch, led by Coral Harrow (CertEd 1949). The branch celebrated their 40th anniversary this year, with a gathering of over 30 of its members. It is a delight to know how fondly our alumni remember the College. You will always be part of our community n

OUR DONORS

The Principal, Fellows, students and staff of Homerton College wish to thank alumni and friends who have generously made donations to the College in 2017. Every effort has been made to ensure the list is accurate; do contact us if you believe we have made an omission.

NEWS FROM THE BRANCHES

Name

Groups of Homertonians meet in local branches throughout the country and around the world. All of Homerton’s alumni branches are looking for new members and alumni are always welcome to attend their events. If you would like to get involved, please contact the branch leaders.

London (‘The London Rollers’)

The London branch (‘The London Rollers’) meet twice a year, complementing the London Alumni Drinks evenings organised by the Development Office. A group met in June to visit Apsley House (the Duke of Wellington’s London home). Afterwards they enjoyed an informal lunch and spent the afternoon watching the Pride in London Parade. They ended the day with tea, giving everyone the opportunity to catch up and exchange news.

In December a large group met at Victoria station and travelled out to Brixton for lunch at The Clink, the restaurant inside Brixton prison. After enjoying an interesting and sociable lunch, and taking advantage of the retail opportunities to support the charity (as well as leaving a group donation), they returned to central London where a smaller group enjoyed a Christmas drink (no alcohol was allowed in the prison!).

Newcastle upon Tyne and Durham

The Newcastle upon Tyne and Durham Branch meet twice a year in the centre of Newcastle for good conversation, good food and, most importantly, good friendship. The Branch met back in September at Bar Luga and had an enjoyable time catching up. The group currently has 12 members and new members would be very welcome.

Oxford

During 2017 the Oxford Branch had two interesting outings. In March they visited Harris Manchester, Homerton’s sister College. The Branch enjoyed coffee in the Charles Wellbeloved Room, a room celebrating the Homerton alumnus and former Principal of Harris Manchester, where they were joined by Rev’d Dr Ralph Waller, current Principal of Harris Manchester. A delicious lunch followed in the splendid dining hall, after which Sue Killoran, the College Librarian, gave members a tour of the Library and chapel with its notable stained glass windows by Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris.

In October the Branch visited the Weston Library for lunch in the café, during which they shared news and swapped anecdotes of College

life (some not to be repeated!). Afterwards they explored the exhibition Which Jane Austen with materials shown together for the first time that aim to challenge the perception of Jane Austen. The exhibition showed Jane Austen as an ambitious, risk taking business woman and war time writer, informed and inspired by the international adventures of her family and friends.

Wessex

Huge congratulations to the Wessex Branch who celebrated their 40th anniversary this year! 32 members of the Wessex Branch (ranging from matriculation years 1947–1982) celebrated with lunch at The Monks Yard, organised by Branch Leader Coral Harrow (CertEd 1949–1951). The Branch was pleased to welcome four new members to the celebrations. Coral made a special speech, including news of members who couldn’t attend the lunch – especially the Branch’s oldest member Nancy.

ALUMNI NEWS

In each Annual Review we will feature a round-up of alumni news. Contact the Development Office (alumni@homerton.cam.ac.uk) if you would like any of your news to be included.

1950s

Cynthia Rumboll (née Pilkington) (CertEd 1958) was awarded an MBE in the New Year’s Honours list for her voluntary service to First Aid. Cynthia is the former head of the Jersey St John Ambulance.

1960s

Sylvia Dibble (CertEd 1964–1967) has been elected a Fellow of the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce, in recognition of her services to education.

1970s

Jane Brooke (née Peacocke) (CertEd 1971–1974) was made Acting Dean of Chester Cathedral in September 2017 (until the appointment of a new Dean). She is responsible for the education work of the cathedral and is also Canon Chancellor and Canon Librarian.

1980s

Sally Lomax (née Hyde) (BEd Education 1981–1985) performed her one woman show, Shakespeare’s Will, at the Corpus Playrooms in July. Shakespeare’s Will is about the little known life of Anne Hathaway, Shakespeare’s wife. It is a one woman show, but contains many characters and some interesting, some funny, some sad, some poignant moments about the life of Anne and Will, together and not.

Sally Woodcock (née Ronaldson) (BEd Education with Drama 1983–1987) directed an acclaimed production of World War One play Journey’s End.

Woodcock’s MESH Theatre Company took the classic drama ‘home’ earlier this year to where author R C Sherriff served on the Western Front 100 years ago, lending the piece an unprecedented authenticity. Staged in a 19th-century munitions store (Het Kruitmagazijn), audiences were immersed in a sepulchral bunker on three sides of a company of officers holed up yards from the Front Line, anticipating a massive attack on the Allied trenches (Operation Michael, March 1918).

During their month in Ypres the MESH cast became part of the Remembrance community. Woodcock said ‘the location took it to another level for actors and audience alike. One Battlefields guide who has been working in Ypres for 20 years said he could never walk past a 2nd Lieutenant’s headstone again without flashbacks to what he’d just witnessed. Audience after audience were visibly impacted by this universal yet deeply personal story unfolding right there – where it happened.’

The Telegraph said ‘it might sound like the height of extravagance to recommend crossing the Channel for a few hours of theatre, but it honestly feels like paying the bare-minimum tribute. See it and weep.’

Journey’s End returns to Ypres in October and November 2018, to mark the Centenary of Armistice Day, visit www.meshtheatre.com/tickets for more details.

Ruth Wills (BEd Education with Music 1987–1991) recently gained a PhD in Philosophy of Education from the University of Winchester. Her thesis, Christian Education: exploring a new perspective, looks at how a dialectical relation of the educational notion of Bildung and the Kierkegaardian philosophy of repetition might allow educators to rethink models and methods of education to allow for learning as a spiritual process to become personal, authentic and meaningful. Ruth is also a foster carer to a teenage boy with learning disabilities, Ruth said ‘our 24 months together have been a joy and a challenge, and I hope to continue our relationship until he reaches adulthood’.

1990s

Angela Tallett (née Morris) (BEd Education with Geography 1993–1997) has recently been an important innovator of a new timetable and

creative curriculum at the Grace Dieu Manor School, who recently changed from a 3–13 years to a 0–11years school. Angela described the role as ‘a huge challenge, but very enjoyable and rewarding’.

Ivor Anderson (PGCE Education with Religious Studies 1998–1999) reports ‘since completing my PGCE at Homerton, I have worked in the Integrated Education sector in Northern Ireland. I am currently completing a history of Newcastle, County Down.’

Georgie Samuel (née Buckle) (BEd Education with Drama 1998-2001) appeared in the Woking News and Mail on 19 October for her work helping to revolutionise maths teaching in the UK. Georgie is the Year Two Team Leader at Goldsworth Primary School in Woking, Surrey. Georgie has been training to become a Maths Mastery Specialist through her work with the Surrey Maths Hub and was chosen as one of 35 teachers in the country to visit Shanghai for two weeks in September, to find out how they teach maths and to exchange ideas and techniques.

Georgie told the News and Mail that Maths Mastery is a technique to ensure that children understand a particular concept before moving

on to the next one. ‘This is part of a big change in the national curriculum. Rather than accelerating children quickly, by giving them harder calculations, this is about deepening their understanding. We are not doing harder sums, but we are finding other ways to stretch them.’

Georgie’s school was chosen to host the teachers from Shanghai for a successful exchange visit in November.

2000s

Natalie Cloud (née Travers) (BA Education with Biological Sciences 2001–2004, PGCE Education with Science 2004–2005) graduated with a Master of Education from the University of Western Australia in March 2017. On 7 September Natalie welcomed Xavier Glen Cloud, a younger brother to Jacob and Isaac.

Susana Velez-Castrillon (MPhil Bioscience Enterprise 2003–2004) has been promoted to Associate Professor of Management at the Richards College of Business, University of West Georgia, USA.

Nicholas James Juett (PGCE 2004–2005) held a joint exhibition of Breathing the Kite from January to March 2017. Curator, Chris Williams, described the exhibition as ‘diverse works of art and interesting archive material that capture and recall the essence of the Kite district of Cambridge city centre from its birth in the 1800s until the present day. Four artists express their strong links to the Cambridge district in a variety of visual mediums and their work is shown alongside old photographs and newspaper cuttings, all in the pleasant setting of Clare Hall’s exhibition area. The result is a thought-provoking blend of art, history, memory and politics.’ Another of Nicholas’ collections, Waves of Discovery, Part II, can currently be found in the Oak Bistro, Cambridge.

Alexandra Strnad (BA English 2004–2007) has published a book of poems, H Is for Hadeda (Poetry Salzburg, 2017). H Is for Hadeda was described in a review by Jane Draycott as ‘poems of sensuous and edgy detail, alert to the beautiful fascination of the world’s unspoken and ancient dramas – all charged with a distinctive acuteness of observation. The collection’s canvas is wide – Eastern Europe, Southern Africa, the desert

regions of the Gulf – but Strnad’s attention to the shimmer of danger and darkness is micro-precise. A fascinating debut by a poet to watch.’ More information is available at: www.poetrysalzburg.com/hadeda.htm

Elizabeth Cumpstey (née Mills) (BA Education with Maths 2006–2009) and her husband, Andy (Gonville and Cauis, 2009), led a trek to Everest Base Camp and back over Easter for the charity Xtreme Everest, who were celebrating their 10th anniversary. Xtreme Everest is a non profit organisation, led by doctors and scientists from UCL, University of Southampton, and Duke University in the United States.

In 10 years, the group have led an extensive programme of research into hypoxia and human performance at extreme altitude, aimed at improving the care of intensive care patients and other patients where hypoxia is a fundamental problem. They have researched how Westerners’ physiology differs to the Sherpas’, as well as testing twins and children to see whether epigenetic changes affect acclimatisation. With numerous donations and generous sponsors, they have managed to analyse data from these research

Cumpstey

studies at altitudes looking at many topics such as the working of the mitochondria, nitric oxide metabolism and the analysis of the ciliary hairs in the nasal passage. The results have increased understanding about how our bodies respond to low oxygen environments, and the team have already started to use this knowledge to alter the care given to critically ill individuals.

It took the group 11 days in total to trek to Base Camp, with acclimatisation and medical testing days in Namche (3440m) and Pheriche (4270m). On Good Friday most of the group successfully made it to Everest Base Camp. Elizabeth said ‘we could not have asked for better conditions that day – warm, sunny and clear – and we got fantastic views of Everest and the Khumbu Icefall. Walking back from Base Camp it began to snow and overnight over a foot of snow fell. This made the first day of walking back down a very different matter, but the scenery was made even more spectacular!

With over 80 miles of walking, 2 close yak encounters, more than 50 people undergoing medical testing, and successful conferences by Xtreme Everest to the Sherpas’ and other Nepalis’; it was certainly a busy trip requiring both physical and mental strength from everyone. I am

very proud to be able to say I contributed to the success of this expedition, and am proud to be part of the Xtreme Everest team.’

Phil Norris (BA Economics 2006–2009) and Julia Raths (BA Education with Geography 2006–2009) married on 26 August 2017. Phil and Julia met in 2006 when they found their lodgings side by side on floor 2 of West House. After graduating in 2009, Phil went on to be Cambridge’s youngest head of department at the ADC Theatre, and Julia pursued a Master’s degree in Sports Management. Phil said ‘together we have continued living side by side as far away as New Zealand, and now reside in Switzerland. The Swiss mountain town of Zermatt hosted our wedding; a cohort of Cambridge alumni and others celebrated under the shadow of the Matterhorn, and raised a glass to fond memories of Homerton’.

Paul Shewell (PGCE 2009–2011, MEd Education 2011–2013) and the MCEC School Director.

Phil Norris (BA Economics 2006–2009) and Julia Raths (BA Education with Geography 2006–2009) married on 26 August.

Paul Shewell (PGCE 2009–2011, MEd Education 2011–2013) has been involved in fundraising projects for a non-profit private school, Misthy Cee Educational-Complex (MCEC), offering education to ages 3 – 16 years. The school currently has over 250 pupils across 13 classes. MCEC is located in a small rural community in Akomadan, Ashanti Region, Ghana. The school offers free school places and food to about 30 of the most deprived local families and offers assistance with school resources and books to many more, including those with physical and learning difficulties.

Paul visited the school for the third time between June and August 2017 and assumed the role of Acting Head of School. Paul said ‘I lived on-site at the school which currently has no electricity. All cooking for the 250 pupils is done on an open fire. There is also a very erratic water supply and no running water. As such it is not unusual for the children to have to assist in the collection of water before school for their families or for the school day. During my stay I assisted in the extensive renovation of classrooms and school buildings, constructed a school library and also undertook timetabling reform and teacher

I assisted in securing and allocating funds for the construction of a dining/assembly hall in collaboration with sponsors and donors, especially the UK-based charity Hands Around The World While some funds have been raised from private donors, the vast majority of the funding has come from my own personal savings.’

2010s

Amanda McKend (née Moore) (PGCE Education with Classics 2014–2015) married Hal McKend, a police officer with Thames Valley Police, this summer. Amanda is a Classics teacher at Abingdon School.

Sean McFedries (MSt Applied Criminology, Penology and Management 2014–2016) and his wife, Lynn, welcomed Cale Sean McFedries into the world on 28 January 2017. Sean said ‘in addition to the happy memories we have of exploring the city whilst I studied at Cambridge,

Homerton will always have a special connection to my wife, Cale, and I, as we found out Lynn was pregnant just before my graduation in July 2016. We took the opportunity to share the good news with family and friends at the reception on the lawn at Homerton prior to the graduation ceremony, which just added to a very memorable day, especially for the grandparents! We look forward to bringing little Cale down to Cambridge to explore the city with us as he gets older and hope that one day he may be a Homertonian too!’ n

Sean McFedries (MSt Applied Criminology, Penology and Management 2014–2016) and his wife, Lynn, announce the birth of Cale Sean McFedries.

RETIRED SENIOR MEMBERS’ ASSOCIATION

Dr Peter Warner, Chair of the RSMA and Keeper of the Roll

Since its Royal Charter of 2010, Homerton is now indistinguishable constitutionally from all of the other Cambridge Colleges, yet it remains unique in a number of respects. It is the only College with origins in the Congregational nonconformist tradition; its traditional link with Education as a discipline also marks it out, although the subjects Homerton offers have broadened in recent years; it is also the only College that has changed from having male-only students to mixed after 1852, to becoming a women’s College after it moved to Cambridge and then mixed again from the 1970s. Another unusual aspect is its active Retired Senior Members’ Association (RSMA).

The RSMA is about 90 strong, its composition of retired teaching staff, Fellows, and retired senior heads of College departments (Head Porters, senior librarians, Bursars and housekeepers) is unique in Cambridge. Some other Colleges at Oxbridge have similar bodies, but Homerton’s RSMA is particularly active and forward thinking. Its main purpose is the wellbeing and support of its members, providing information about College events, concerts and lectures, but it also looks at ways in which it can support the College, through donations and bequests.

Historically, a similar staff association is well documented at Homerton going back to the turn of the twentieth century, when it was strongly supported by the Principal, Mary Miller Allan. However, the current Association was re-founded by Dr David Male in the late 1980s,

the old association having gone into abeyance. Creation of a Fellowship after 2001 raised the question of how this would affect the RSMA, but subsequently all Emeritus Fellows have been very happy to join, and so it has gone from strength to strength.

The activities of the RSMA say a lot about the nature of this unique organisation. Email is the main point of contact, but there are regular committee meetings and coffee mornings every month in the Combination Room, where gossip is exchanged. The College provides an office for use by RSMs who are still active teaching and supervising students. They have dining rights and are supported by the College Development Office. There is a choir, open to all members and their spouses, which performs two or three times every year at social events. Outings to places of local and national interest in the summer are popular. High spots of the year are the summer and Christmas parties, usually hosted in private houses.

The RSMA has, by definition, an aging membership. So there are welfare issues; if a member is hospitalised, bereaved or disabled, then the network acts to provide support and company. Few other institutions have generated such loyalty and concern for each other often long after retirement – this is a very special dimension of the Homerton workplace. At Homerton we celebrate not only our commonality with other Cambridge Colleges, but also our individuality and those aspects of our institution that are distinct and special – it is a privilege to be a member of the RSMA and to celebrate its contribution to College life as we enter our anniversary year n

OBITUARIES

Intro text?

MRS FRANCES TURNER (NÉE WEDDELL)

French Lecturer, Homerton College, 1966–1984

Frances Weddell was born in 1928 in Tillicoultry, a small town east of Stirling. Early in her life the family moved to Trowbridge in Wiltshire where her father, Beaumont Weddell, continued to work in the textile industry.

As a child of eleven, at the outbreak of the Second World War and during the height of the blitz, she went to Selkirk in the Scottish Borders to stay with her grandparents. Soon after the end of the war she lived with a French family as part of her studies. She saw firsthand the devastation and hardship the country was suffering and this must have had a bearing on her future attitude towards world problems.

Frances lectured at Homerton College from 1966 to 1984. To her students in the French Department, ‘Ma’mselle’, as she was affectionately known, was an inspiring and encouraging teacher: nurturing, self-giving and as one student described her, ‘generous in hospitality’ and ‘motherly’ too. Frances and her husband Philip delighted in entertaining at their home, Cedar Cottage in Cabbage Moor. Their beloved boat Morning Mist hosted many gentle excursions on the river out of Ely. The Visitors’ Book records every one of the hundreds of guests who came aboard, who included past and present students, overseas students, colleagues and their many friends from all over the world. As one student said ‘there was always good

food, good conversation, music and laughter.’ Her nephew, Dr Ian Lyall, recalled how Frances ‘used to billow into their lives with happiness, music and what can only be described as ‘joie de vivre’. She never walked – she skipped! She was always game for a challenge, she made friends instantly, often for life, and would be the first to offer help if it was required.’

Frances had a deep spiritual faith and a strong inner spirit. She was a regular churchgoer and attended St Andrew’s Church in Histon after she moved to her retirement flat in Windmill Grange. The Vicar described her as ‘a vicar’s dream’ because, true to form, she joined everything wholeheartedly, including the weekly meeting of the young mothers. She lived a life of continual growth and always gave her time and commitment generously. She loved life and she loved people. Her flat at Windmill Grange reflected her wide interests and her outgoing nature: full of books, photographs, pictures, letters by the score and her beloved cello. She enjoyed having visitors and remembered everyone, keeping in touch with her many friends by telephone and correspondence. She described her years at her retirement home as some of the happiest of her life. When life in the flat became too difficult and she required nursing

care, her nephew Ian, who had always faithfully visited her, arranged for her to move to Hilton Care Home in Bottisham where she spent her last few months, ever appreciative and mentally active, still cherishing visits from friends and Retired Senior Members of the College.

The sharp-eyed observer may espy a sundial beside the path to the main door of Homerton (photographed on page 82). It was designed by Frances’ husband, Philip Turner, who was a distinguished engineer in the University Department of Engineering and a clever inventor. The inscription reads: ‘Time the Destroyer is Time the Preserver’, a quotation from T. S. Eliot’s Four Quartets.

Frances served as Secretary on the Foundation Committee of the Retired Senior Members’ Association, founded by David Male in the mid-1970s. She remained a faithful member throughout, keenly interested in all its activities, including hosting gatherings at her home. ‘Bon courage’ was a favourite wish to parting guests. Frances had an abundance of that quality. Think of Frances and you remember her radiant smile, her soft voice, her generosity of spirit and the warmth of her personality.

Compiled by Patricia Cooper with acknowledgements to Ian Lyall, Keith Heywood, Trish Maude, Muriel Cordell and former students for their contributions

Frances was such a wonderful person. I met her in 1980–1981 when I was a French Assistant at Homerton College for a year. She gave me so much, her care, her culture and her infectious enthusiasm! She was my role model.

Frances and her husband, Philip, always made me feel welcome in their home. We would talk about teaching methods and listen to classical music. They would take me on trips on the Morning Mist along the river. They introduced me to the area: Ely Cathedral, Giacometti sculptures, not to mention the knicker-bokerglory! I am so grateful to Frances for introducing me to Cambridge life.

Since then Frances came to visit my mother in Lyon and I went to visit her every time I visited England. Sometimes I escaped from my students to spend some time with her in Cambridge. The last time I saw her was more than two years ago when we had lunch at the University Centre. We had a lovely time together.

Thinking of her makes me feel very fortunate to have known such a special person.

Sylvie Léger (French Assistant, 1980–1981)

MRS DOROTHY MARGARET BELL (NÉE BECKETT)

CertEd 1957–1959

Dorothy was born on 4 September 1938 in Clacton on Sea, Essex. After the war she went to Clacton High School and in 1957 was awarded a place at Homerton College on a teacher training course. During her two years at Homerton, Dorothy was heavily involved in the University Conservative Association Committee along with many young men who later became Cabinet ministers in the governments’ of Edward Heath and, later, of Margaret Thatcher. After leaving Cambridge in 1959 Dorothy took up teaching in the London area. It was in 1960, when she made a return visit to Cambridge, that she met Roger, who she married in 1961.

Dorothy and Roger then moved to Tyneside, where Roger joined the family business and they had two daughters, Nicola and Lucy. Dorothy was involved in local charity work, in particular the recently formed Shelter organisation. In 1972, when Dorothy and Roger moved south to Oxford, she joined the Oxford Ladies Circle, and became the club’s chairman within three or four

years. A couple of years later she became area chairman. In 1980 Dorothy made the natural progression from Ladies Circle to Tangent. As with Circle, Tangent was all about forging friendships and helping the community. As usual, it wasn’t long before Dorothy was holding the reins and she was chairman of her club no fewer than five times. In 1989 she was elected Vice President of The National Association of Tangent Clubs in Great Britain and Ireland and the following year, in Glasgow, she became President. Her year as National President saw Dorothy travelling the length and breadth of the British Isles, sometimes with Roger in tow but more often than not alone, being the able and independent woman she was. Her year culminated in a week-long tour of Ireland, with a host of friends, ending with the National Conference in Dublin.

Dorothy later joined Oxford Inner Wheel, part of the Rotary Organisation, and held nearly every office in her club, including president five times, District Vice Chairman, District Chairman and three years as District International Committee Chairman. She worked tirelessly to raise funds for many causes abroad.

Dorothy was a regular attendee at her local church in Wheatley and was involved in many village activities as well as those in the wider Oxford area. For the past seven years Dorothy organised an annual quiz for the Macmillan Cancer Nurses, cooking and serving a full meal for all those taking part. Dorothy was an inveterate book reader, an excellent cook and keen gardener and produced some great tapestries. She had a fantastic knowledge and interest in all forms of sport, particularly rugby and athletics. The dramatic change in Dorothy’s life came in the autumn of 2015 when she was found to have a pancreatic cancer tumour. She underwent a major operation and treatment in 2016 but sadly in October, her family were told to think of her life in terms of months not years.

She refused further treatment, which might have prolonged her life by a few months, saying her diary was too full leading up to Christmas to risk losing her hair. After having most of the family visit in the week up to Easter Sunday, when they were able to get out and about with the help of a wheelchair, her decline was rapid. She had eleven days in the fantastic Sobell House Hospice in Oxford, mainly in a deep sleep, until she passed away on 6 May 2017.

MRS JENNIFER HOWL (NÉE POLLARD)

CertEd 1956–1958

Known to her family and friends as Jenny, she was born on the Wirral in 1938 and brought up in Yorkshire. Jenny went to Cambridge in 1956 and met David (Selwyn, 1955–1958) on the Homerton tennis courts the following year. When one could hire a punt for four hours for £1, Cambridge in the 1950s was a beautiful place to be courting!

They delayed their marriage for a year following the sudden death of Jenny’s father. Marrying in 1959 they set up house in Lytham St Annes near where David worked in the nuclear industry. Jenny taught at secondary schools before starting a family. They had three daughters in the 1960s and later on seven grandchildren. They moved to Suffolk upon David’s retirement in 1993.

Jenny had a great capacity for love, for her family and friends and for all things in nature. She and David walked almost every day in the Suffolk countryside close to the sea. They both enjoyed golf at Royal Lytham St Annes and Aldeburgh golf clubs.

Jenny’s great interest was languages, in which she had a gift. She was proficient in Italian and fluent in Greek, Greece being a place which she loved and visited many times in the last 30 years.

Jenny also enjoyed accompanying David on his business visits to the US, and to the Scandinavian countries where they made many friends.

Her last few months were blighted by dementia. Jenny moved into a nursing home in January, where she died, suddenly but peacefully, four weeks later on 13 February 2017.

BRIDGET MARY FRANCES

ROBINSON

CertEd 1969–1972

For Bridget, materialistic modern living held little attraction; she found inner peace and joy from the natural world and from her family. She grew up with her elder sister, Elisabeth, in East and West Horsley in Surrey, spending holidays with her maternal grandmother and cousins in Nijmegen and her paternal grandparents and cousins in Bruges. A talented musician and singer, she played the flute and piano and sang in a church choir. Music was important to her, possibly for its transcendental qualities, but also no doubt for its harmony, symmetry and order which reflected another interest of hers: Mathematics.

Bridget gained a Certificate in Education from Homerton in 1972. In her first job at Glendowers (1972–1974) she was responsible for teaching Maths throughout the school. Secretarial work followed, including a spell in the Property Management Department at the Council of the Stock Exchange (1976–1978), before she returned to Mathematics, enrolling in 1981 as a mature student at Bedford College. Dr Hamish Rae (retired) remembers her as having a passion for Mathematics, aware that it was a subject where hard work and determination to succeed

were among the elements required for success. She graduated BSc Mathematics in 1985, going on to teach at La Sainte Union (1986–1989) and Wimbledon College (1991–1992).

Bridget’s gentle approach to life was unhurried; she was painstaking in everything she did. From her beautifully formed, neat handwriting to her dressmaking, needlework and stained glass, she strived for perfection. She had high ideals and formed few but strong and long lasting friendships. Belonging to a large European family, with links across Austria, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Hungary, France, England and the USA, she took pleasure in visiting her relatives and hearing about their lives.

Tragically, Bridget’s life changed irrevocably in 2014 when she suffered a major brain haemorrhage. After spending eight months in hospital she went to live with her younger sister, Tessa. She received 24-hour care and encouragement from a small team at home and was very much loved by all who came into contact with her. It was this love, we are sure, that rekindled in her a will to live, to fight through adversity towards recovery and to find joy and contentment in her life again despite its many restrictions and limitations. After being told in hospital that it was unlikely that she would make any significant progress and, notably, that we had to expect that she would not walk, little did we think that she would learn again, albeit in a limited way, how to feed herself, to speak, to read, to write, to play a scale on her lap-harp, to stand, to sit down again and even to walk.

Sadly, her remarkable recovery was cut short by a terminal illness. Bridget passed away peacefully at home on 28 June 2017. We shall treasure her memory: her unassuming, gentle personality, her beautiful smile and the precision in all that she did. Through her courage, fortitude and perseverance, she was an example to us all.

During term, we cannot guarantee a room will be available, as the needs of current students must take priority. However, if you enquire 5 to 10 working days in advance, we should be able to advise you on availability. Unfortunately, during term time, we cannot accept bookings further in advance.

Dining

Alumni are welcome to dine in Hall for lunch at their own expense; no prior notice is necessary. Please be aware that you will need to pay in cash for your meal.

Alumni are also entitled to dine at Formal Halls where space permits. If you would like to dine, please contact the Development Office (alumni@ homerton.cam.ac.uk or 01223 747066); the Formal Hall price for alumni is currently £18.50, with non-alumni guests costing £22.50. Formal Halls are on Tuesdays; if you wish to attend, please let us know by the preceding Wednesday. On occasions, alumni will be invited to dine at High Table; these occasions will be advertised in advance.

College Library

Alumni may use the College Library for reading purposes (we regret that at present it is not possible for alumni to borrow items). If you wish to use the Library, please notify the Librarian in advance (library@homerton.cam.ac.uk).

MA

If you hold a Cambridge BA, you may proceed to the MA not less than six years from the end of your first term of residence, providing that you have held your BA degree for at least two years. The College will contact you approximately two months before you become eligible. You may then register to receive your MA degree in person or in absence. The Tutorial Office organise the MA ceremony and the Development Office organise the MA lunch. Please ensure your contact details are up to date with the Development Office so you receive your official invitation.

Benefits provided by the University of Cambridge

The University Alumni Relations Office can provide you with a CAMCard which grants privileges and discounts to alumni when visiting Cambridge. The card provides membership to the University Centre and entitles you to discounts from Cambridge University Press, Cambridge Wine Merchants, local hotels, bars and restaurants. The CAMCard also entitles you and up to three guests free entrance to all Colleges when they are open to the general public (but not during closed periods). Please note that fewer guests are permitted at King’s College, St John’s College and Queens’ College (see their websites for details).
