Principal's Report It is with deep regret that we record the death on 16 July 1981 of Miss Mary Randle Lunt, Fellow and Tutor in Biochemistry since 1959, Mary Snow Fellow in Biochemistry, and Custos Hortulorum. Her funeral took place in the College Chapel, and a Memorial Service was held in the University Church on 24 September. The memorial address, delivered by the Principal, is printed elsewhere in the Chronicle. Miss Levick, Retaining Fee Lecturer in Ancient History since 1966, retired from that post at the end of September. Mr. Price has been appointed Lecturer in Ancient History; Mrs. Millar, Retaining Fee Lecturer in Experimental Psychology; and Miss Seymour, Lecturer in Biochemistry. Mr. Mackenzie, University Reader in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, has been elected to a Professorial Fellowship from 1 January 1982; Mr. Braithwaite to a Lady Wolfson Research Fellowship in Engineering from 1 January 1982; Mr. Yearley to an Elizabeth Wordsworth Junior Research Fellowship from 1 October 1981. Mrs. Bleaney, former Fellow and Tutor of the College, was appointed College Recorder. Mrs. Chitty's appointment as Appeal Secretary came to an end in December and she has since been elected an Honorary Fellow of the College. Miss Lanceley resigned as Deputy Domestic Bursar and her place has been taken by Miss Mellor. Miss S. Clark (History) of Central High School, Newcastle upon Tyne, was Fanny Seaton Schoolmistress Student in Trinity Term. Two Fellows have been successful in obtaining awards from outside organizations: Mrs. Butler, Fellow in English, has been awarded a British Academy Readership for three years from October 1982; Dr. Morris, Fellow in Medicine, has been awarded a Nuffield Research Fellowship in Science for 1982-3. The College Development Appeal has now passed the £1 million mark with gifts from four Hong Kong donors of £100,000 each. This money will be spent on renovating and recovering possession of houses on the College site, and four houses will be named after the donors; they will be used partly to house undergraduates, and to provide teaching rooms. Contributions from Senior Members continue to come in, and the Principal and the Appeal Secretary have again visited members in various parts of the country. Our thanks are due to all who have so generously contributed, and continued efforts will, we hope, enable us to reach our target of £2 million. Mrs. Chitty, who has now left us, has worked devotedly to raise money for the Appeal and has left us a high standard to emulate; we cannot adequately express our thanks to her except by doubling the amount she has enabled us to achieve. We have had two American Students studying for a year here, one from Georgetown University and one from Middlebury College, and we hope to continue the arrangement with both in the future. In the course of the year the College acquired a computer, and a harpsichord which now stands in the newly decorated Music Room in the Principal's Lodgings and is available there for musicians to use.

The Junior Common Room, 1981 (including the Games Report)

1981 has been a busy and successful year for the J.C.R. which continues to dispel any illusion of the apathy it has been accused of in the past. The St. Hugh's Players continue to enhance their reputation as one of the best drama societies in Oxford and the Music Society are well pleased with their new acquisition, claimed to be the best harpsichord in Oxford. Both societies participated in a successful Garden Party held in Trinity, which raised ÂŁ250 in aid of the Development Appeal, and the Players organized a Medieval Banquet which gave many members of the J.C.R. a very enjoyable evening. Our Boat Club, now sharing the Oriel boathouse, has more members than ever before with five eights on the river in Trinity. Unfortunately our success of previous years was not repeated by the first eight although the second eight were top of their division. Other members of the J.C.R. number amongst the University swimming, hockey, squash, netball, lacrosse, and cricket blues. Our arrangement with Trinity to share their sports grounds has no doubt been a contributory factor in the success of our College hockey team which now has a full fixture list; many have also expressed interest in forming a cricket club next summer. On the social front, such ventures as S.C.R./J.C.R. darts matches, Cheese and Wine evenings and joint discos with Oriel and Trinity have been highly enjoyable. The plans for our 'Winter Ball' with Mansfield are well underway and it promises to be a very entertaining and enjoyable night. An informal J.C.R. meeting showed that an overwhelming majority still feel that St. Hugh's should remain single sex. Members stressed the positive qualities which would be irretrievably lost should St. Hugh's follow the example of LMH and St. Anne's. This year has not been without its tragedy. We recently heard that Catherine Schilling, a former J.C.R. member (1979/80) from Georgetown University, was horribly murdered in Washington this summer. In view of the valuable American link and the substantial contribution she made to College life in the short time she was here, we are supporting her family and friends in setting up a Scholarship Fund in order that the exchange scheme may continue. OLIVIA PROVIS (President) 20


Middle Common Room Despite prevailing national policy the number of M.C.R. members has not dropped significantly, and we now have 53 in-resident and 8 out-of-resident graduate students and 10 biochemistry and chemistry part II students. We are fortunate in that this year has seen an increase in overseas students, providing us once again with a truer understanding of universitas. They come to us from as far afield as New Zealand, Hong Kong, and the United States and closer to home from Poland and Portugal. We are proud that our academic ranks can boast an increase in the number of scholars. This year we have Miss Ewa Jaworska, the Rawnsley scholar from Poland, Lynne Hancock, a Commonwealth scholar from New Zealand, and Wendy Ayres, the Moberly senior scholar who joins us from Worcester College. In its own inimitable way the M.C.R. has continued to maintain close ties with both the University and the College. The redecoration of the Middle Common Rooms and the generous help of the S.C.R. in providing us with means whereby a tape deck could be purchased have done a great deal to improve the active social life we have always enjoyed with other colleges. The barbeque, mid-summer eve, and Christmas parties held with Balliol, Brasenose, Corpus Christi, Lincoln, Oriel, St. Antony's, St. Peter's, and Wycliffe Hall were a great success, and proved yet again that St. Hugh's is not as far away from the centre of Oxford as some might think. The M.C.R. also organized various enjoyable theatre, opera, and ballet trips both in and out of Oxford. Social events within the College have also flourished. Our termly guest nights have been fully 'booked', due in large part to the Chef's culinary expertise. This year M.C.R. members had the unique pleasure of matching their skills with those of the S.C.R. at flipping pancakes at our Shrove Tuesday celebrations, and in the Michaelmas term new members had the opportunity of meeting the S.C.R. at our annual Wine and Cheese party. We are fortunate that such links with the S.C.R. have been maintained throughout the year by the Vice-Principal who has provided M.C.R. members with the opportunity of dining on high table. • The outgoing officers for 1981 are Robin Fraser and Wendy Ayres (social secretaries), Elizabeth Baigent (secretary), Maris Shone (treasurer), Anna Orlowska (vice-president), and Patricia Kirkpatrick (president). PATRICIA KIRKPATRICK (President)

Annual Meeting of the Association of Senior Members The fifty-sixth Annual Meeting of the Association of Senior Members was held in the Mordan Hall on Saturday, 20 June 1981, at 3 p.m., the President, Dr. Reeves, in the chair. Thirty-five members were present. Members stood in silence while the President read out the names of those members who had died during the past year. The Minutes of the meeting held on 5 July 1980, published in the Chronicle, were signed. There was no business arising from the Minutes. President's Remarks. Dr. Reeves referred to news of her predecessor, Miss Margaret Marr, who had recently undergone an operation on her arthritic hip, and was now convalescing. The Secretary was requested to send best wishes from the meeting to Miss Marr. The President reported that the Oxford Party, which had been held by the College for the A.S.M. on 14 May 1981, in the Wordsworth Room, had proved very popular. About two hundred and fifty members living in and around Oxford had been circulated. Both the Principal and Mrs. Chitty had spoken about the College Appeal. The event had shown there was considerable enthusiasm for a local meeting and the Committee were to consider the possibility of repeating it from time to time. This one was in the context of the Appeal, which had benefited from the interest caused, but it was also a means of keeping in touch socially. The London Sherry Party (25 September 1981) was to be held at the Institute of Actuaries and the A.S.M. was indebted to Elaine Fairless for this arrangement. It would be an interesting place to go to and the President hoped it would be well supported. The President thanked the Committee for their attendance at meetings throughout the year. She expressed a special word of thanks to the Editor, Mrs. Fleet, who had asked to be released from office. Miss Jacobs and Mrs. Hainsworth had kindly offered their help with the next Chronicle, after which the Committee were happy to be able to say that Mrs. Ridler would take over the editorship. The President went on to speak about the pressures currently being felt by Institutes of Higher Education and Oxford and Cambridge in particular. These pressures were not only financial. There was a lack of understanding on the part of outside bodies of the University's aims. The President felt that there was a set of fundamental values to be safeguarded. The College needed support from its members, not only in financial terms, but also moral support in the general sense, to try to interpret what a college such as St. Hugh's was trying to do. The College Report. Mrs. Green, the Governing Body Representative, gave the College Report: The Principal is unable to be present today as she is

25


being installed as President of the English Association; she has asked me to pass on to you her regrets and apologies. My brief in this report is to give you news of events concerning the College since the Chronicle went to press. As I was working abroad for the first four months of this year I have in the last three weeks been actively gathering information and catching up on events. I have been aware, since I returned, that the College and indeed the whole University is currently holding its breath waiting for a blow to strike. For many months now the U.G.C., the University Grants Committee, has been deliberating on how to effect the cuts in university spending that the Government has prescribed. During the next month we expect to hear how these cuts will affect us. Already as a result of previous policy we are under financial pressure. Fees will only increase by 3.8 per cent next year, well below any anticipated rate of inflation, and a drop in undergraduate numbers has been forced on us : both factors will result in a substantial drop in our income. There have been many rumours and leaks in the press as to the level and type of cuts that the U.G.C. will insist upon. At best we can anticipate a delay in filling teaching vacancies that are partly funded by the University, at the worst we may permanently lose teaching jobs. There is no doubt that the reduced level of support will put at risk the quality of education we hope to provide for both undergraduate and graduate students. In this context the success of the appeal is particularly important, as increased endowment provides a fall back in times of financial hardship and enables balanced planning in the face of economic ups and downs. We have been particularly fortunate recently in receiving a generous gift from the Wolfson Foundation of ÂŁ81,000 which will fund a Research Fellowship in Engineering to be named after Lady Wolfson who was an Honorary Fellow of this College. In contrast to the last few years, this year we have no fellows either leaving or joining the college. We are, however, losing two Junior Research Fellows. Alison White has been appointed to a fellowship at St. Hilda's in Medieval History and Philippa Darbre is going to work at the Imperial Cancer Research Centre in Lincoln's Inn Fields. Mr. Steven Yearley succeeds to the Elizabeth Wordsworth Junior

Research Fellowship, his field of study is the History of Philosophy of Science. Next year Mr. Simon Price will be joining us as Lecturer in Ancient History: this is a joint appointment with L.M.H. where he will be a fellow. During the course of this year we have acquired a new lecturer in Experimental Psychology, Mrs. Susanna Millar.

Wendy Ayres, a third year linguist, will be our Moberly Senior Scholar and Mrs. Darrah (nĂŠe Baker), who read History from 1954 to 1957, has

been appointed to a Schoolteacher studentship for Hilary Term 1982. She teaches at Hill College, Southampton. We are particularly fortunate in that Mrs. Bleaney has agreed to take on the task of College Recorder. 26


Other senior members, Miss Turner, Miss Rose, and Miss Vickers have been given Martinego Cesaresco travel grants. It is always particularly pleasing to learn of the academic success of our members. Ann Gardner Martin has been appointed Assistant Professor of German at the University of Purdue, West Lafayette, Indiana. Leslie Sharpe has received a tenured appointment in German at Exeter University. Jean Braybrook has a two-year lectureship in French at Durham. Lynne Regan, a 4th year biochemist, has been awarded a FulbrightMays Scholarship to do research at M.I.T. Caroline Dermot Small, who is just completing her D.Phil., has been awarded a Michael Foster Memorial Scholarship. Mary Faletau, a first year Lit.Hum. student, has won a Commonwealth Scholarship and Angela Bishop, a second year French student, was runner up in the Heath Harrison Travelling Bursary Examination. On the literary front, Alison Brackenbury, (Jubilee Scholar, 1971) has published a book of poems Dreams of Power which has become a Poetry Society Choice and has generally received excellent reviews, including one by the T.L.S. Andrew Wilson, our lecturer in English has been awarded three prizes for his latest novel including the 1980 National Book Award for Fiction, an Arts Council prize and the Somerset Maugham prize. We have been fortunate in receiving many generous gifts. These include a portrait of Miss Gray, a gift of money from the students of 1931, and a silver replica of the oldest piece of silver in Lincoln's Inn Fields bequeathed by Mrs. Locket (nĂŠe Rosser) who was a student from 1918 to 1920. Miss Wells' family has given us a garden seat and a plaque for the chapel in remembrance of her. For the library we have received a very generous bequest of law books from the library of the late Sir Rupert Cass, also an anonymous gift of ÂŁ500 for biology books and a gift of English books from Miss Clish, a student from 1938 to 1941. We have now decided that the Principal should be painted by Sylvia Foreman; this will take place next spring. Miss Foreman recently painted Dick Southern the President of St. John's, a very successful portrait which won an award. We will in due course be reactivating the portrait fund in order to pay for this. Mrs. Russell has been busy around College with the task of labelling all our portraits and paintings. She has now done sufficient research into their subjects and origins, so by next year they should all be tastefully labelled. We have made our mark in University Rowing this year. Not only did we have three undergraduates row in the successful Women's Blue's match against Cambridge but we also provided a member of the victorious men's eight, Boris Rankov, one of our Junior Research Fellows. The College is trying to expand sports facilities available to undergraduates. We currently share squash courts with Wolfson and we plan to share a boat-house with Queen's, Oriel;and Lincoln and a sports field with Trinity. In the garden, plans are going ahead for an ornamental pool, north of the Wolfson Building, in memory of Miss Procter. .

27


Membership of the Association. Mrs. Green also reported the Governing Body's decision, with reference to the Minutes of the last Annual Meeting, that all members of the College should automatically become life members of the Association on completing their undergraduate course. This would also apply to those who had already gone down but who were not members. The detailed financial implications of the new arrangement had not yet been worked out. Mrs. Bleaney had been appointed College Recorder and would be glad to receive any up-to-date information. It was expected that College would shortly install a computer. The Appeal. Mrs. Chitty, Appeal Secretary, said that the total to date was £624,000, including a recent contribution of £81,000 from the Wolfson Foundation. £115,000 had come from members of the College, and £150,000 from legacies. £13,000 had been given by parents of current undergraduates. A notable figure was the £900 from City companies as it was unusual for them to make donations outside their immediate sphere of influence. A quarter of a million had come from industry. Money donated without ties had been extremely useful. Number 10 Canterbury Road had been converted at a cost of £15,000 for the use of undergraduates, but the College had to shoulder the running costs and, of course, the rent had been lost. This project was made possible by Appeal funds. Increase in fees was well below the rate of inflation and this also could only be supported by sums being received through the Appeal. Covenants were still an excellent way of giving and if members would like more information on how donors might use reclaimed tax as part of their gift, the Appeal Secretary would be pleased to help. Other Business. Miss Jacobs drew the attention of the meeting to a colour photograph of the College and terrace which would be available later in the summer—framed £12, mounted but unframed £3. It was suggested that at very little extra cost nonreflecting glass might be used. Referring to the Address List, Mrs. Thornton pointed out that additional lists of alterations would be cheaper to produce and to send out than the entire list.

Mary Randle Lunt The following address was delivered at the Memorial Service in the University Church of St. Mary the Virgin by the Principal on Saturday, 24 October 1981. The College house in which Mary Lunt came to live in 1957 when she was appointed Assistant Tutor in Natural Sciences at St. Hugh's College was No. 4 St. Margaret's Road. It was a large red-brick late Victorian house, one of three along that road which the College sadly had to demolish to make way for the new Wolfson Building. I lived in No. 3, next door, in a flat in what was then the Principal's Lodgings. My first meeting with Mary was when she was invited to dine in College before her new appointment was confirmed, and I can see her now, brought into the Senior Common Room by the Principal, Mary wearing a tobacco- coloured silk suit, immaculately elegant shoes, and talking with a poise and confidence that made me wonder whether we would become good neighbours. She spoke in the accent of the shires, and with the authority of one who had been President of the Junior Common Room in the College where she was now to become a tutor. From the start, Mary Lunt loved the house in which she began her academic career. Towards the end of her life she gave me a copy of Naomi Mitchison's memoirs of her Oxford childhood, some years of which were spent in No. 4 St. Margaret's Road, where the Haldane family lived for a time. There was no need for her to explain that choice of a Christmas present. It brought back to both of us evenings spent in her pretty groundfloor sitting-room, with its bay window giving on to a walled garden that enclosed a great flowering chestnut tree, and a border of the most blatantly voluptuous white peonies, bunches of which were delivered to 'the don next door' by Mary's housekeeper, who, at a hint from Mary, had taken note of my covetousness. On the mantelpiece of her sitting-room squatted the shells of crabs and lobsters; her desk displayed bewildering little models made out of balls and steel rods, and on the bookshelves ranged volumes of the English poets, books from her childhood, a complete paper-back set of Thurber, and texts for her particular trade. It was in this room that Mary opened to my astonished ears the secrets of DNA, and in this room we argued tirelessly the whole notion of 'forbidden knowledge'. Such evenings or afternoons usually ended in an exchange—wholly unargumentative — of readings or remembering the poetry that meant most to us, or recalling the places we knew and liked best—the countries, the counties, the landscapes, the houses, the churches. She it was who introduced me to Stowe and to Rousham, and gave me my first experience of that exquisite contribution to European culture, the English garden of the eighteenth century. In this she had herself been encouraged by her cousin, Edward Malins, that .remarkable and original scholar and authority on landscape gardening and English poetry. It was in this room before Mary's arrival that I had often sat and talked about the same period —the eighteenth century—with an older colleague and friend who then lived there. Which is why I begin my 33


tribute with the recollection of a place that no longer exists except in memory. It represents to me something unique in academic life, the sort of exchange that Mary herself loved and gave generously during her short time here. The sitting-room brings back other associations, all equally characteristic of her personality and presence. Games of bridge played comically, brilliantly, and unacrimoniously ; cocktail parties at which the speciality was White Ladies, never tasted elsewhere in Oxford, by me at least; sessions of listening to music which she passionately loved; gossip and serious discussions of college and university affairs; tentative admissions of private worries; the revelation of some fundamental, sensitive melancholy of spirit, but equally a gay and innocent enjoyment of her house, her pupils, her work, the garden, holidays planned or past, battles engaged or won. For Mary was a fighter, and every inch the soldier's daughter. She possessed (and took for granted in others) the uncommon qualities of honesty and heroism. She believed in, and lived by, the unfashionable virtue of loyalty to her family, her background, her two countries, Canada and England, her college, her pupils, her colleagues and her friends. There can be few people for whom she had any responsibility who do not owe her a debt they may never wholly realize, for she thought of this rare talent as a simple, natural quality to be taken entirely for granted. She worked unflaggingly, even in ill-health, for what and for whom she believed in, and, though open-minded and enquiring as a good scientist must be, and as some of her non-scientific colleagues sometimes failed to recognize, once she was convinced, she stood by her convictions and would brave unpopularity or misunderstanding to be faithful to her commitment. Of her achievement in her own subject I am not competent to speak. I can only outline to you her career and the judgement on' her work that a colleague gave me for the obituary notice in The Times. She failed to take a First in the Schools, but this failure was immediately cancelled by the award of a Christopher Welch Scholarship. Modesty and the most rigorous standards of perfectionism delayed her progress for the D.Phil. on which she was working when I first knew her. But after she had received that degree and began teaching, her passion for her subject was given a freer range and a more confident expression. Her prime scientific interest was in the nucleic acids and their metabolism. At an early stage in her research career she became fascinated by viruses and in particular bacteriophages. She investigated the modification and breakdown of DNA following bacteriophage infection, and these results led her to study nucleases in a wide range of systems. This work is of great importance since it is because of the study of nucleases that techniques such as genetic engineering have become possible. However, it is for her contributions on bacteriophage T5 that she will be remembered both for her own enthusiasm and for her ability to inspire interest in others. She was, as many of her pupils and colleagues have remarked to me, rigorous in her own perfectionism and in the standards she expected of her pupils and her collaborators. 34


She was a member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of General for five years until 1979, and contributed regularly to scientific meetings where, in spite of failing health, she presented papers in April of this year. There is no doubt that her interest in her work was maturing and intensifying towards her premature end. She spoke to me often, when she knew the danger she was in, of the decisions she must take, and it was at once painful and inspiring to see her make these choices, relinquishing her role as a brilliantly effective Senior Tutor who had fought successfully for women scientists' appointments, and for scientific appointments in womens' colleges, in favour of the interests of her pupils and her research. In the end, it was these that came first for her. She wanted to pursue the truth in her own way, in her own discipline, and to communicate it and her enthusiasm for it to others in the short time she had left. She was a very great tutor, as many of her pupils have written to tell me, for though she would not compromise in her adherence to the highest standards, there was a vein of sweetness and sympathy in her nature which undergraduates especially recognized, even if she was sometimes shy in expressing it. A brisk and capable manner, a natural, disciplined efficiency, an occasional brusque expression of anger which she felt at any suggestion of injustice, dishonesty or intrusion on privacy, sometimes, as she grew older, concealed from the less observant those delicate and imaginative sympathies which made up so great a part of her character as a woman. These were not ignored by her pupils. Most touching among the many letters I have received from her undergraduates past and present are those that refer to her love of the garden of St. Hugh's of which she was custos, and her easy accessibility to the young. Such love extended to animals as well as to people. It is characteristic of her that, though she was devoted to fishing (as to golf) as an outdoor pursuit, she was at the same time a passionate animal-lover. In looking through her college file, I have been delightedly amused by the correspondence between Mary and my predecessor, Dame Kathleen Kenyon, who did not by any means always see eye to eye with her on college or university matters. The courtesy of each of them as correspondent (when Mary was abroad at Cal. Tech. for a year, and the question arose both of her possible appointment as a University Lecturer, and of where she should live when No. 4 St. Margaret's Road had been demolished) is epitomized in the exchanges in their letters about Mary's poodle, Sambo. Dame Kathleen writes to reassure her, that above all, Sambo's comfort will be considered in any move; Mary warmly responds, and touchingly decides that Sambo should be given to her housekeeper, who was devoted to him and looked after him in her absence. If these letters were ever to be printed, as a brief, comic interchange of academic life, they would bring eternal credit on the two correspondents, in their ingenious mingling of hard bargaining, serious discussion, exquisite courtesy and simple human kindness. I have time now only to say something in the end about Mary Lunt's most engaging qualities—her humour and her gambling instinct. She was Virology

35


always willing to take a risk. Long before Hertford decided to make unconditional offers, Mary and I used to discuss together the possible advantages of ignoring the entrance examination and testing candidates with poker dice. It seemed to us that something might be discovered about their characters and their intelligence by this much more pleasurable method. With Mary's shrewd resourcefulness, I'm sure it could have been. She was quick-witted to a degree. Once she told me, dead-pan, of the occasion on which she had inadvertently been caught in a cold-room and was unable to lift the heavy bar which had slammed down on the door. As she felt drowsiness approach, it occurred to her to dismantle the experiment she had come in to watch, and to force up the bar with her last remaining strength by the help of an iron rod she had extracted from the apparatus. Danger only sharpened her natural wit. A funnier instance is the occasion when as Dean of St. Hugh's she had to deal with a threatened sleep-in protest at visiting hours which had been advertised throughout the College. Mary saw at once that a serious and detailed discussion of this issue would be a waste of time. Instead she simply wrote large on a poster which she smuggled later to the J.C.R. notice board, unsigned, 'Sleep-in cancelled'. Needless to say it never took place. Her Canadian childhood (for her mother was Canadian and she was evacuated there during the war) confirmed her natural sense of verbal humour—hence the passion for Thurber. In moments of crisis or excitement she naturally reverted to the parlance of the West. After any triumph she would grin and mutter, 'Another redskin bit the dust'. And when I visited her in the Radcliffe and she had to tell me that cancer was active again in her system, she, knowing exactly what this would mean, observed almost casually, 'Well, Rachel, the results are through. It's going to be a rough ride.' And a rough ride it was, undertaken with all the courage, self-discipline, reserve and total lack of self-pity which characterized her. When I think of Mary as she revealed herself in her last years, I am reminded always of the character in Pilgrim's Progress who gripped my imagination especially as it was read aloud to me as a child—Mr. Valiant-for-Truth. In a short while we shall be singing the hymn Bunyan puts into his mouth, a hymn familiar from many memorial services. I know of none where it could be more appropriate a tribute. You will remember that the pilgrims in Part Two, Christiana and her family and friends, are brought through their dangers in the Enchanted Ground of the World by Mr. Great-Heart in the van, and Mr. Valiant-for-Truth in the rear, both with their swords drawn. We are not shown Mr. Great-Heart's end, but we are told in detail of Mr. Valiantfor-Truth's :

After this it was noised abroad that Mr. Valiant-for-Truth was taken with a summons by the same post as the other, and had this for a token that the summons was true 'That his pitcher was broken at the fountain'. When he understood it, he called his friends, and told them of it. Then said he, I am going to my Father's; and though with great difficulty I am got hither, yet now do I not repent me of all the trouble I have been at to arrive where I am. My sword I give to him that shall succeed me in my pilgrimage; and my courage and skill to him that can get it. My marks and scars I carry with me, a witness for me that I have fought His battles who will now be my rewarder.

36


There are those of us here today who believe that, in the well-known words of the ending of this passage, 'All trumpets sounded' for Mary Lunt `at the other side'. But there are those of us who have no such consolation, who have come simply to commemorate a scholar, and a brave and vital woman. Yet we can together join in a recognition of the significance of her pilgrimage, and the knowledge that her sword will be given to those whom she inspired, and her courage and skill to those who can get it. There is a risk, and a challenge and a gamble in these words which she would have loved. And, of course, there are those who can get it, simply because she offered it to them, as colleague, and as teacher, and as friend, so wholeheartedly and so magnificently.

Phyllis Mary Cooper Phyllis Cooper came up to St. Hugh's from Cheltenham Ladies' College in 1921. Her earlier life had been in Switzerland and in India, where her father served in the R.A., retiring as a Lieut.-Col. She read French in the Modern Languages Honours School, and then taught at Harrogate Ladies' College and at Berkhamstead until she became an ambulance driver during the war. Generous, cheerful, and outgoing, she took an active part in College life and problems. R.D. I joined the staff of Claremont School, Esher, in 1952, introduced by Phyllis, who had been at Claremont since 1946 and was, at this time, senior mistress. She was a much loved and appreciated member of the community—a gifted teacher who was also so enthusiastic, entering into all school activities with unflagging zeal and delightful humour, including taking girls ski-ing for many winter holidays. She instigated and organized the occasional private opening of the historic House of Claremont to the local public, and, a year or two later, the Ministry of Works, in its sphere for the upkeep of historic buildings, undertook the repair of the roof in return for which the House is open to the public on twenty days a year, so that the senior girls whom Phyllis had trained to guide people round the House were well prepared. Phyllis also wrote the official guide book— The Story of Claremont, now in its fifth edition—a very interesting book. When she retired in 1966 she lived a few miles away, in Weybridge, in close touch with the school and with numerous old girls, near and far, with whom she stayed, always a welcome visitor, a charming and a first-class `mixer'. For my husband and myself she was a very dear friend; we had such fun together and we miss her visits. R.P. 37


Frances Mary Elizabeth Hopkirk (nĂŠe Perkins) Mary Perkins, who died on 23 May 1980 at the age of 78, came up in 1921 from Grassendale School, Southbourne, and took Honours in French in 1924. In her third year she was President of the J.C.R., reflecting the talents of her father who was a Member of Parliament. After a time as honorary secretary of Student Movement House in London, she married the Revd. Frank Hopkirk. Frank had parishes in London and elsewhere, eventually settling for a long period in Danbury, Essex, where Mary was a speaker for the Women's Institute. Besides these activities, family responsibilities, and sharing in her husband's work, Mary found time to develop her interests in writing and history. Her first book, Queen Adelaide, was published in 1946. Later studies of Royal Families were Queen over the Water (1953) and 'Queen's Consort' (Quarterly Review, July 1954). Wartime experience engaged her concern about illegitimate children and, in the records of parishes and charitable organizations, she studied the handling of destitute and unwanted children; the resulting book, Nobody Wanted Sam, was published in 1949. After Frank's death Mary lived for a time in Wales and later she gathered beautiful treasures around her in a spacious flat facing the sea at Hastings. Here she organized family records and wrote booklets for her children and grandchildren about the several branches of the Perkins and Hopkirk families. Her writing, like her friendship, was thoughtful and clear, sparked with a merry sense of humour. Although she did not often attend Gaudies, her concern for the state of the College continued from her J.C.R. days, and at the 1968 Gaudy she made a gift for the refurbishing of the handsome front gates. R.J.D.

Enid Locket (nĂŠe Rosser) Enid Locket, who died on 29 December 1980, was educated at Winchester School for Girls and came up to St. Hugh's in 1918 to read for the diploma in Economic and Political Science. She worked in the Lord Chancellor's office. After call to the Bar at Lincoln's Inn in 1927 she practised as a barrister. In 1933 she joined the John Lewis Partnership as its first Legal Adviser and held this post until her retirement in 1954. The lawyer in commerce and industry is now commonplace and fully recognized by both branches of the profession. Throughout Enid Locket's career such posts were exceptional. She was a pioneer in this field and for many years the only 38


woman in a senior appointment. With other Oxford men and women recruited by the late John Spedan Lewis, she was deeply committed to the concept of partnership of all workers in the enterprise; it fell to her to take a major part in giving this legal shape. Her method of disposing of business was vigorous and forthright, marked by a deep respect for the law and by soundness of judgement. She was exceptionally kind to the young and a fighter for the rights of anyone in trouble. To the pretentious and especially to the 'sea lawyer' she was less indulgent. Her long friendship with Dame Joan Evans was another link with St. Hugh's. Her marriage in 1944 to Mr. G. H. Locket, who survives her, took her into the public school world of Harrow School, bringing family responsibility for two stepsons, and led ultimately to their happy retirement in the Test Valley near Stockbridge.

Lorna Anne Morey (née Dalton) Lorna, who was a Scholar of the College 1955-8, died on 29 March 1981 in Kelowna, British Columbia, at the age of 44. College members of our generation will hardly need to be reminded of her as the English Scholar of our year, and President of the J.C.R. Our grief at her early death will be understood and shared by many: she had a wide circle of friends who appreciated her exceptional talents and particularly her gift for conversation. She lived in America and then Canada after graduation; became a D.Phil. and then taught at a number of universities. When last we saw her on a visit here in 1978, she had a research fellowship in Linguistics at Toronto University. She later went on the teach at a university in British Columbia, where she stayed at her post until within a few weeks of her death. She leaves a 13-year-old daughter, Rachel. On p. 22 under 'Gifts and Benefactions' it will be seen she left a legacy of $5.000 (£2,226.56) to the College, and, at Mrs. Morey's husband's request, a Scholarship has been set up in her name.
