Principal's Report The College was sad to say goodbye to two Fellows: Miss Gradon, University Lecturer in English Language, who retired at the end of September 1982 after more than thirty years with the College, and has been elected an Emeritus Fellow; and Mrs Colson, Additional Fellow and Director of Studies in Human Sciences, who resigned at the end of the year on giving up her University Lecturership in Ethnology. We welcome two temporary appointments: Mrs Birch as Fellow and Tutor in English for the period of Mrs Butler's tenure of her British Academy Readership; and Miss Grocock as Lecturer in Medicine while Dr Morris holds his Nuffield Research Fellowship. Jane Glover, Lecturer in Music, was elected to a Senior Research Fellowship; she is now Musical Director of Glyndebourne Touring Opera Company as well as Chorus Master. Mary Renault was elected an Honorary Fellow. The Revd A. E. Harvey resigned his post as Lecturer in Theology as from 30 September 1982 to take up a Canonry at Westminster; the Revd J. Barton was appointed in his place. Mr A. N. Wilson resigned as Lecturer in English to become Literary Editor of the Spectator, and was replaced by Mrs Scase. Mr Hainsworth was appointed Ester Bickley Lecturer in Italian, and Mr Hedley Lecturer in Law for three years. Dr Janet Morgan, formerly Politics Lecturer at the College, was elected to a Visiting Fellowship at All Souls for 1982-3. Mr Cass, BP Junior Research Fellow, has been appointed Lecturer in Biotechnology and Biochemistry at Imperial College, London, from 1 May 1983; Mr Yearley, Elizabeth Wordsworth Junior Research Fellow, has been given a year's leave of absence to take up an appointment at Oxford Polytechnic. The artist Margaret Foreman was commissioned by the College to paint a portrait of the Principal, and has now completed it. The College Development Appeal had raised approximately £1,132,000 by the end of January 1983, and the second phase of the Appeal was launched with the aim of achieving our target of £2 million by our centenary year of 1986. As part of the Appeal a Dame Kathleen Kenyon Memorial Scholarship Fund for overseas students has been established. The special Fund for Biochemical Studies in memory of Mary Lunt has received generous contributions from her colleagues and friends, and from old members of the College, and had reached over £7,000 by the end of January; donations are still coming in. This year we have five American students spending their Junior Year at St. Hugh's; we are particularly happy that two girls who originally came here in this way have returned to do research in English, one as a Marshall Scholar and one as a Rhodes Scholar. We also welcome our first undergraduate from Hong Kong under our new Hong Kong Studentship Scheme. R.T.

The Junior Common Room, 1981-2 (including the Games Report)

Although this is the 1982 Report I am sure that I will be forgiven for first considering the end of Michaelmas term 1981. It seems a long time since the Mansfield-St. Hugh's Winter Ball, but I am sure that it will be well remembered by all those who attended. The event was a tremendous success, all the tickets were sold, and financially the venture broke even. The early months of 1982 heralded the establishment of the Amalgamated• Clubs fund. At much the same time a definite agreement was reached between Wadham and St. Hugh's on the College's use of the former's sports ground. To date the ground has been used by the St. Hugh's hockey team and also by the tennis team. 19

To continue with sporting news, the St. Hugh's First VIII re-established themselves at the top of Division I in the Summer VIIIs, whilst the Second VIII became the first Second VIII to get into Division I. Meanwhile, the Players put on 'A Resounding Tinkle' and 'The Lark', and also supported `The Dreaming Room'. In last year's report the Catherine Schilling fund was mentioned. The overseeing of this has now been placed in the hands of the JCR Secretary (by constitutional amendment). The JCR garden party profits were donated to the fund, though alas, inclement weather rendered the event something of a fiasco in other respects. Michaelmas 1982 saw the setting up of a St. Hugh's Overseas Scholarship fund (the joint fund with Wadham has now been terminated). It is tentatively hoped that the first scholar may be able to come up in Michaelmas 1983. The officers of the JCR for 1983 are as follows: Rachel Mellor (President), Caragh Rentoul (Vice-President), Sue Miskin (Treasurer), and Anthea Gulliford (Secretary). JANET PANAGAKIS (President)

Middle Common Room Once again the Middle Common room has an international flavour. Two new graduates from the United States, Henriette Lazaridis, a Rhodes Scholar from Middlebury College, Vermont, and Elaine Hadley, a Marshall Scholar from Georgetown University, Washington, DC, both of whom had spent a year at St. Hugh's as undergraduates, have joined the Polish, Canadian, New Zealand, and American members already here. Other new members include Mary Elford and Melanie Clark, both Senior Scholars. MCR members have succeeded in various fields. Jeri Johnson has been awarded the Moberly Scholarship; Caroline Dobson has won the Michael Foster Memorial Scholarship and will be in Bonn next year; Sue Astbury, who has become a celebrity since her appearance in the BBC programme Now Get Out of That, has won a badminton blue, and Ann Spilsbury and Anna Orlowska have repeated their performance of 1979 by rowing in the College First VIII which became Head of the River. The MCR has strengthened its inter-collegiate links by holding joint social events with other graduate common rooms, notably that of St. Antony's, with whom we have buttery arrangements. The most successful activities were a wine and cheese party, fireworks for Guy Fawkes Night, and a Shrove Tuesday pancake party. We look forward to another successful year. A. ORLOWSKA (President) 20

Annual Meeting of the Association of Senior Members The fifty-seventh Annual Meeting of the Association of Senior Members was held in the Mordan Hall on Saturday, 3 July 1982, at 3 p.m., the President in the chair One hundred and nineteen members were present. Members stood in silence while the President read out the names of those who had died during the past year. The Minutes of the meeting held on 20 June 1981, published in the Chronicle, were signed. There was no business arising from the Minutes. President's Remarks. Dr Reeves expressed her gratitude to the officers and members of the Committee, who had worked with great efficiency, interest, and enthusiasm. She wished specially to thank Mrs Fleet, who was retiring as Editor of the Chronicle. We were very grateful to her, and the Association had been very well served by her. She presented Mrs Fleet with a book token as a measure of the Association's appreciation. One announcement was needed with reference to the yellow form enclosed with the Chronicle, which said that a 1981 Address List was available. Only the 1979 list was still available and, as this was inevitably out of date, the College Office was willing to answer enquiries about current addresses. The President also wished to underline the notice sent with the Chronicle for a Book and Picture Sale in aid of the College Appeal. This would be on 23 October 1982 at 2 p.m. and would be followed by a party for senior members. Books and pictures of any kind were required, including paperbacks and prints. The College would receive them and arrangements had been made for storage. Several inquiries had been received as to why there was no obituary of Dame Margery Perham in the Chronicle. The simple explanation was that her death occurred after the Chronicle was in an advanced state of preparation, and there would be an obituary in the next number. A very large memorial service had been held in which two addresses were given covering different aspects of her life. Membership of the Association: Governing Body Minutes, 14 January 1982.

The meeting noted that Section 1 (ii) of the Constitution, amended as follows, had been approved by the Governing Body: Former undergraduate members of the College, with the exceptions of any member who has been rusticated and has not subsequently returned to undergraduate membership, and any undergraduate member sent down, are life members of the Association. This amendment was formally ratified. Mrs Green (Governing Body Representative on the Committee) said the object was to broaden the 25

membership and to keep in touch. The College Recorder was in process of putting information on computer. It was agreed that this was to be welcomed. Elections. There were two candidates for the office of President: Miss K. M. Hobbs and Miss H. M. Wallis. Miss Wallis was elected. The Honorary Secretary, Mrs Cockshoot, was willing to continue in office and was re-elected. There was one candidate for the office of Editor of the Chronicle, Mrs A. Ridler, who was returned unopposed. The retiring Editor, Mrs M. Fleet, was co-opted to complete Mrs Ridler's time as Committee member until 1984. For the three elected Committee vacancies, two candidates had been nominated: Mrs. P. Griffin and Dr C. Dornan, and they were returned unopposed to serve until 1986. The Committee would co-opt a third member at a future meeting. The Secretary felt that members would wish to record their thanks to the retiring President for giving her time and interest so generously to the Association's affairs. She handed Dr Reeves a small gift as a memento of her term of office, with members' very best wishes. A Presentation to Miss Gradon was made by Miss Ann Hudson. She spoke of Miss Gradon's kindness and firmness as a skilful teacher and her notable achievement as a writer on Wyclif and Langland. She wished her a very happy and fruitful retirement. In expressing her thanks in reply, Miss Gradon commented on how the College had increased in numbers and financial resources during her time, and how women now took a far greater part in University affairs. She would still be living in Oxford and would be pleased to have visits from old students. Before closing the meeting, the President informed members that, because of difficulties caused by the rail strike, there would be lists on the notice-board for people to offer and request lifts on Sunday.

A letter from Mrs Fleet:

Dear Jeanette, The kind present from the Association and Senior Members of book tokens came as a complete surprise and I am indeed very grateful—they will help towards the cost of foreign books, now impossibly high, and they will remind me of all your constant kindness and help during the time I have been Editor of the Chronicle. As you can imagine, it has sometimes been a great struggle, particularly the deciphering of the titles of publications, but I have been fortified by Mr. Parker of the O.U.P. and by my husband, who has proved himself a most skilful proof-reader. 26

I shall miss the contacts with members into which the editing brought me, and also the early access to the constant flow of news about careers and members' families. With all good wishes, Mary Fleet

The Gaudy, 1982 The Gaudy of July 1982 was the Jubilee for the Matriculation Class of October 1932 and nineteen of us sat down to the Gaudy dinner on Saturday night. More would have come, but were prevented by previous arrangements, by arthritis, or at the last minute. Preparations began at the previous annual general meeting—in July 1981—and that they were so successful was due in large part to the friendly help of Miss Rothwell—the Domestic Bursar—and to her suggestions. She also offered us a separate table and a private sitting-room. We obtained from College a list of addresses. These were checked and a list was made of those whose addresses were unknown or unchecked. A letter was sent out early in January 1982 to all fifty of the Class of 1932 enclosing the list of addresses needing verification. Bit by bit many of these addresses were built up and people made contact with those with whom they had kept in touch. Miss Rothwell arranged for us all to have rooms near to each other on the second floor of what was to us the newest part of College—the original Mary Gray Allen wing. She also put a rose spray in each of our rooms. It was interesting to hear the corridor conversations which were just as loud as when we were up. At dinner we were at one table, parallel to and below High Table, and we were presented with a special fiftieth birthday cake. We also had drinks, both before and after dinner, brought to us in our private sitting-room. The letter giving details of the Gaudy arrangements suggested that people might like to give a special present to College. The traditional—and many more are needed now that the grounds are so large—five-foot teak seat and plaque were available for the Gaudy itself and a cheque for the remainder was sent to Miss Trickett —who is acting as Custos Hortulorum —for the purchase of trees, shrubs, and perennials, the choice being left to her. She acknowledged this as 'a wonderful gift'. I think it is a long time since so many members from one year were at the Gaudy dinner and a lot of letters of appreciation were received together with thanks for the co-operation of so many College staff. MARGERY THORNTON (CLERK) 27

I attended this year's Gaudy as priority had been given to my year of matriculation and I looked forward to meeting former companions fifteen years later. The annual general meeting was well attended by many of older generations and I saw only a few familiar faces. However, there was time at the excellent tea afterwards to meet former tutors and Fellows. Before dinner the opportunity came to search out other contemporaries in the Mordan Hall and more were discovered at dinner when we were all seated according to matriculation years. During the dinner, which was a most appetizing spread and served by many familiar faces, the catching up began. The majority of us were married and the first questions were about our children and their proposed education. Then almost inevitably came the question 'Do you work?' and if so, 'How do you cope with your family as well?' I found the variety of replies fascinating as we were all finding different solutions to our role-conflicts. Dinner finished with sumptuous strawberry gateaux and we were all very well dined before the speeches began. The Principal brought us up to date with the various developments of College, both in administration and in buildings. The retiring President of the Senior Members' Association, Dr Reeves, recalled the amusing times of her office. When Caroline Jackson (nĂŠe Harvey) (1965) spoke she could almost have been listening to our conversation, as she outlined how the earlier generations present had been among the first to pave the way for women in many roles. She continued that now her own generation were still fighting for more female contributions in all parts of society, quoting politics in particular. I agreed with her when she explained how life at St. Hugh's had enabled many women to be pioneers in male-dominated occupations. The speeches were followed by Madeira in the Mordan Hall, where this theme still seemed to be discussed by many of us. As I was unable to attend on Sunday I had to leave the Gaudy at this point. A most enjoyable Gaudy has given me a renewed enthusiasm to use the experience and education I had gained during my time at St. Hugh's in all my various roles, both within the family and outside.

A Note from the Editor

The Committee already has under way discussions about arrangements for the College Centenary in 1986. Any ideas members may have as to suitable ways of marking the Centenary will be most welcome, and should be sent either to the Secretary or to myself.

Dame Margery Freda Perham The following addresses by Professor Roland Oliver and Sir Norman Chester were delivered at the Memorial Service in the University Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Oxford, 1 May 1982. Dr A. F. Madden's address was given at a service in Nuffield College Chapel, 5 March 1982. Address by Professor Roland Oliver, Professor of the History of Africa, University of London

suppose that, for nearly all of us gathered here, the main cause of our thanks for the life of Margery Perham is connected in some way with her services to Africa. When asked what turned her in this direction, she would always refer to a long visit she paid to her sister and brother-in-law in British Somaliland in 1922. It was the life on horseback, the desert camping-grounds, the distant view of Ethiopian mountains. And a favourite book, strangely enough King Solomon's Mines. The dominion of romance, more than the romance of dominion. And yet, when she returned to Africa in 1930, I think the romance of dominion was not altogether absent. She described herself in retrospect as `a young and obscure female don'. But aged 34, six foot tall, and with commanding good looks, she made a remarkable progress from one Government House to the next. Donald Cameron, the rather dour Governor of Tanganyika, was closeted with her in his office by day, and spent the evenings teaching her to play squash. His Chief Secretary, Philip Mitchell, took her touring in his special train. She called it the time of her life. A senior wife is said to have remarked that Margery Perham should be boiled in oil. But the fact was that she was already a figure in the great debate, which raged between the two World Wars, about whether the colonies in eastern and central Africa should be developed by colonial civil servants in the interests of their African inhabitants, or by the European settlers who had made their homes there. Margery was already the friend and confidante of Lugard, the pioneer of colonial administration in Nigeria, and now the leading advocate of bureaucratic trusteeship. Cameron of Tanganyika and Gowers of Uganda were both Lugard's men; but Grigg of Kenya was the nominee of Leo Amery, who believed along with Smuts in 'a great white dominion' from the Cape to East Africa. It was known in both camps that young Miss Perham could write, and that she 34

had the entrÊe to The Times newspaper. Hence the trouble that was taken over her African initiation. I reckon that during the 1930s Margery must have been roaming round Africa, living precariously on a series of research fellowships, for something like five years out of the ten. When Cameron moved back from Tanganyika to Nigeria as Governor-General, she soon followed him to collect material for her first big book, Native Administration in Nigeria. She went south to the Protectorates, making a close friendship with Tshekedi Khama, and acquiring the detailed knowledge of the area which found expression in the dialogue about the future of the Protectorates which she wrote with Lionel Curtis. She went north again to East Africa, to study the progress of indirect rule, of which she was rapidly becoming the high priestess. Her oracles were communicated in a series of brilliantly written articles for The Times. On the one hand, she lashed at the backsliders who had allowed Lugard's pure doctrine to deteriorate into a policy of 'mere preservation'. On the other hand she painted an alluring picture of how tribal loyalties could be gently harnessed in the service of local government institutions, which could one day be federated into new nations. It was heady stuff, redolent of Malinowsky and his school of functional anthropology, and it was backed by the sincere belief, expressed again and again, that our colonial service was the best in the world, and the best in history. After all, as she painstakingly discovered, of 603 entrants to the service between 1926 and 1936, no fewer than 510 were graduates of Oxford and Cambridge. Margery spent much of 1936 in the Sudan, a country which was to remain very much at the forefront of her attention during the next twenty years, and which, because of its mature and educated elite, well capable of providing the bureaucracy of an independent state, was to give her important insights into the future of other African colonies. Then, with the Italian invasion of Ethiopia, her interests turned to the cause of that long-Christian country; and when the Second World War brought the prospect of a liberation of Ethiopia through British arms, she made it her contribution—her war-work, if you like—to provide an account of its modern political history and government, for the guidance of those who would have to deal with its future. Of course, like everyone else of her generation, Margery spent the first half of her professional life assuming that the colonial period still had at least a century to run. There would be time to build democracy from below. Accurate knowledge of the peoples under our rule, rather than haste in their development, was what mattered. Her close association during the later thirties with the very distinguished circle of administrators, missionaries, and academics who were founding the International Institute for African Languages and Cultures, and preparing the way for Hailey's great African Survey, symbolized her preoccupations at this time, and led fittingly to the Readership in Colonial Administration created for her in Oxford in 1939. But then, fairly suddenly and in the toils of war, a new Margery Perham 35

was born, or at the very least a whole new dimension to her outlook. Partly, it was a reaction to world events. The Japanese rolled up the map of empire in south-east Asia, and she asked herself how the Africans of Kenya would react to the arrival of a Japanese invasion fleet at Kilindini. On 13 and 14 March 1942 she published a pair of articles in The Times, which contained these sentences: Events such as we have known in the last few weeks are rough teachers, but our survival as a great power may depend upon our being able to learn their lesson . . . We regarded empire as part of the order of things, at once beneficent and enduring . . . We developed towards our backward charges a paternalism that could hardly conceive of their coming of age . . . A revision of the time factor is needed for all aspects of our colonial policy . . . And [she concluded], a new and more intimate and generous relationship with the [colonial] peoples. But it was not just a reaction to world events. It seems to have coincided, more or less, with a resurgence of her Christian faith, which had all but faded during the first twenty years of her adult life. It was as if the buds had suddenly opened to reveal the full flower of her prophetic personality. The accent was no longer on clinical observation but on personal contact, no longer on social engineering but on giving out as much as possible of our own civilization in the short time that remained. During the two post-war decades of her active career, Margery's own literary work was the biography of Lugard, which was supported by four volumes of his edited papers. I have no doubt that this was a major contribution to the early colonial period of African history. But, having known her pretty well during those years, I must say I have the impression that Lugard became to her more of a duty and less of a pleasure. In it, she was repaying her debt to the past. But her heart, now, was in the present and the future. And that meant, first and foremost, her work for the establishment of universities in Africa. `We are now coming', she told a conference of British university representatives, 'to the climax of this [colonial] relationship. They are on the verge of coming forward as communities fit to govern themselves, and they are asking from us this one great essential, the training of their leaders and experts, so that they can take back from us the control of their own affairs . . . The British universities have now got a more important task than any handled by the Colonial Office itself.' For Margery, her interest in higher education meant in formal terms membership of the Advisory Committee on Colonial Education, of the Asquith Committee, of the Inter-University Council for Higher Education in the Colonies, of the Council of Makerere College in Uganda, and so on. In practice, it meant the train to London in term-time, and flying abroad in vacations—interviewing, corresponding, inspecting, advising, persuading. All that, and running alongside it, the daily watch on political developments in all the African colonies. The scrutiny of the press and government publications. And then, so often, the knotted brow, the 36

cancellation of lesser engagements, and in the words of Alan Herbert's jingle, Wrap a towel around my head And don't let anyone in For I must write to The Times to-night And save the world from sin. I have found it an immensely impressive experience to re-read today the two volumes of her occasional writings which she republished under the title of Colonial Sequence, and to see the monthly—sometimes even fortnightly—appeals which she made to the reason and consciences of top people through the centre pages of The Times newspaper over a period of more than forty years. I don't know whether it was primarily for this service that she was made a DCMG in 1965, but certainly that is how she was most widely known. It was, far more than any personal friendships with ministers and civil servants, her real power base, and why, for example, she was an indispensable figure at every African independence ceremony. Perhaps the experts at the British Academy read more widely in her works, but I have been told that when she received their invitation to become a Fellow, she thought they were just another lot of people touting for a subscription. For an ambitious and highly successful person, she retained much that was other-worldly, and much that was genuinely humble. She preferred old motor cars and third-class carriages, and she thought it a reckless extravagance to take a taxi. She was profoundly concerned about human behaviour towards animals—to the point of being a near vegetarian in her later years. She was utterly devoted to her family, and they to her. For most of her life she was a deeply believing Christian. It was a robust faith, learned in childhood, which returned to her increasingly in middle and later life. Her views were, as I believe you say in this town, from the Broad to the High, and if not The Mitre then at least the Presidency of the Universities Mission to Central Africa lay at the end. But she was, as I knew her, a simple and a singularly cheerful Christian. I liked the anecdote related by Dr Madden in his address at Nuffield. He was discussing with Margery the death of a close relation, and she said, 'She died, I suppose, firm in the faith? Well . . . that's all right'. And perhaps it is on that note that she would like us to take leave of her. Address by Sir Norman Chester, Warden of Nuffield College, 1954 78 -

I first met Margery Perham in the Autumn of 1945 when I became an Official Fellow of Nuffield College. The College scarcely existed. There was a Warden, recently appointed, only three Official Fellows (two of them very recent), several Fellows who were also Fellows of other Colleges, and half a dozen business men and public servants entitled Visiting Fellows. Shortly, this very small group was joined by John Hicks and Alex Loveday, 37

and by the time the Foundation Stone was laid in April 1949 there were eight Official Fellows and two allocated Professors who formed the fulltime core of the College. Thus Margery was the first of a very small band of scholars who worked closely together to translate the conception in Lord Nuffield's Trust Deed into a living, purposeful College with its own ethos and early traditions. But Margery had been there before any of us. At the Foundation Stone Ceremony lunch it was Margery as Senior Fellow who spoke for us in that great Hall of Christ Church—and did it more impressively than any of us could have done. I cannot claim any vivid recollections of our early meetings. Africa was not a subject that appealed to my provincial mind. It was truly a dark continent and the more light was shed on it the less attractive it segmed. Moreover, Margery ran her own show as founder-Director of the Institute of Colonial Studies. This distinctiveness or separateness was emphasized in the early years by her being housed not in the very limited College space but in the Institute, at first in the High and then in Bardwell Road. So, though we all bowed to Margery's dominance, both academic and public, in her sphere of research and writing, many of us regarded her as rather outside the mainstream of our interests. This quite suited her for she always had so much work in hand that she liked nothing better than to be allowed to get on with it. The ideas underlying the foundation of the College were ideally suited for her. She was not interested in teaching undergraduates and was happy to resign her Readership in 1948 and receive an equivalent salary purely as a Fellow of the College. Nor was she seriously interested in graduate students unless their research was of concern to her own research and interest. However, she enjoyed teaching the mature Colonial Service officers. Nuffield, of course, had no undergraduates and, for many years, very few graduate students. Its primary purpose was to provide a base and facilities for just such a person as Margery Perham. Moreover, Lord Nuffield had conceived of a College whose members would be concerned with the social, economic, or political problems of the contemporary world in collaboration with those actively engaged in that world. Though Margery would not have been really happy except in an academic atmosphere, her world was that of the African chiefs and peoples, of Colonial Governors and District Officers, and, nearer home, of ministers, editors, and civil servants. To have the respect of other scholars yet be listened to in the world of public affairs is not an easy combination to achieve. Margery did it superbly and so helped to establish the early tradition of the College, and fulfil Lord Nuffield's aim. However, this is not intended as another obituary. Rather I wish to recall Margery as she lives on in my memory—indeed, in all our memories. For as long as our memories live she will continue to live. And after we are gone she will live on in those who read her work and are influenced by her ideas. Who can doubt that, fifty years hence, some precocious juvenile, this time 38

in history, will arrive at St. Hugh's and find herself writing an essay 'Assess Perham's contribution to the Winds of Change'? Memories are evoked by words and associations. You will recall that Proust was stimulated to the Remembrance of Things Past by eating the small cakes known as petites madeleines. What words stimulate memories of Margery? Not petite, I'm sure. Africa, Lugard, Creech Jones, Seretse Khama, Tom Mboya—many such words immediately recall her. Others are more personal and restricted. Ethel and Guerda, for example. I put them together for they remind me of the happy years when Margery lived in College with her sister, and that great, but gentle, Alsatian. Ethel was so much part of the team that she came to the farewell dinner we gave to Margery in 1963. Then Research Secretaries. One could never think of Margery without thinking of that hard-working (almost slave-driven) devoted succession of able young women who helped her to accomplish so much. But let me mention two less obvious word associations—croquet and tapestry. For these recall to me important aspects of Margery's character. Once I believed that croquet was a game played by the meek. But that is not how Margery played it. Indeed, I do not know of any more ruthless game. With complete disregard of your opponent's feelings you knock into the far distance the ball which he or she has so patiently manoeuvred near a hoop. To see Margery play was to understand one facet of her character: a determination to play fairly and according to the rules, but to get her own way. How many bigwigs in the colonial world did she treat as though they were her opponents at croquet? I cannot recall ever talking about women's lib. with her, or hearing the term on her lips. And understandably, for she was the Senior Fellow in a College in which men and women competed on equal terms. She was very striking-looking, with more than a hint of masculine strength. Yet she remained very much a woman and liked to be treated with the manners of an earlier age. Indeed, to gain a point she was capable, on occasion, of pretending to be only a weak woman dependent on the chivalry of her male colleagues. Tapestry—yes, why tapestry? When we were debating how to furnish the Senior Common Room Margery startled us by saying: 'What we really want is a wonderful piece of tapestry over the fireplace.' Instead, Ivon Hutchins painted the picture that hangs there at present. But the association is much wider than that. For Margery was always prompting us to do something grand. When we were furnishing the College she thought in terms of brocade rather than cotton. She always wanted rather grand curtains. In the end to keep her quiet we gave her complete authority to furnish a room along with a like-minded person, Bryan KeithLucas—the Clay Room, replete with Sheraton furniture, wall-bracket lamps, and fine curtains. Her search for the grand was by no means confined to curtains. It was reflected in most of the views she expressed on College policy. She always wanted us to go for the best. When, after a long and exhausting study of 39

the applications and writings of a sizeable number of candidates for a Research Fellowship, we were about to reach a decision, one could see Margery wondering whether to ask, as she sometimes did: were there no better candidates somewhere in the world? When we decided not to proceed with the building of a traditional College chapel Margery insisted we must at least have a prayer room. Spurred on by her there emerged one of the distinctive features of the College, the upper room chapel, which John Piper's art and ideas helped to make so attrative. It was very salutary to have the senior member usually asking us to do something grand and to fill the place only with scholars of distinction. For it is easy to settle for consensus and to succumb to expediency. Mind you, it could be irritating, particularly when Margery appeared more attracted by the target than by the practical ways of achieving it. Yet any academic community is very fortunate to have such a member, particularly when it is in the process of being formed. For then it has no traditions either to guide or to limit its actions. What it decides and does in those early days lays the foundations for what its successors will decide and do in the years ahead. I ask you, therefore, to remember Margery Perham as one who contributed so much to the formation of a new and unusual member of the Oxford family of Colleges. Her name does not appear among the list of College office-holders, and it must be admitted that she had little knowledge of College finances or of the wording of the Charter and Statutes. Her influence was wider than that. Her contribution took two main forms. She was always calling attention to the best and fighting against the shoddy—whether it be in furnishing or in academic standards or even just in the way the College was run. Equally important for a College created for a special and new purpose, she showed by her life and work that it was possible to be a scholar and writer of the highest standards yet also to be part of and influential in the world of practical affairs: she could walk with Governors and Chiefs nor lose the scholar's touch. These are the contributions for which the College will always remember her and will always be in her debt. Others will remember her for other attributes, for the College was but one part of her world. She was one of the last of the Eminent Victorians. Address by Dr A. F. Madden, Reader in Commonwealth Government, Oxford University, and Professorial Fellow, Nuffield College `Si monumentum requiris, circumspice.' In Nuffield College Dame Margery Perham's abiding monument is very much here in the Chapel which she did so much to establish. It came into use in Michaelmas Term 1960, though the furnishing was not yet quite complete (the metal reredos and candlesticks had not arrived), and it was dedicated by the Bishop of Oxford on 13 December 1961, two years before Margery retired. The founder had, in the original Deed of Trust, 'in accordance with the usual practice' made express provision for a chapel to be attached to his new 40

College and had expressed his wish that, for the time being, arrangements might be made for the Vicar of the University Church of St. Mary to act as College chaplain. By October 1947, when building plans were seriously being put in hand, it was Roy Lee who enjoyed this plurality; and prior to the completion of this Chapel, Margery saw to it that weekly prayers were held on Thursday before lunch either in her room or in the Long Room. Lord Nuffield had also wanted his new foundation to add to the towers of Oxford; but, when at the end of the war the decision to use the tower for the Library was taken on financial grounds, this upper room was set aside instead. Through John Betjeman, I believe, Margery made contact with John Piper and she continued to play a vigilant, committed, and stimulating part in the discussions of the small group from which this Chapel evolved. (The two other rooms in College in which Margery was concerned were the Fellows' Old Dining Room, an elegant creation long since absorbed into the Students' Common Room, and the Tower SCR, recently cannibalized into carrels for Visitors who have no fear of heights.) During Margery's time, living in College in her flat over the arch on Staircase D with her sister and her dog, Guerda, she was regularly a member of this congregation, sometimes even one-third of it! Her faith was strong, enforced by her reading of the nineteenth-century legacy from missionaries and humanitarians. She was throughout concerned with the moral issues behind the exercise of imperial rule: the paramount interest of the ruled. Dame Margery became the first Official Fellow—and the first woman Fellow—of College in 1939. This was a tribute to her reputation in the field of African studies which she had already very much made her own. She was elected the first Reader in Colonial Administration at the same time. Indeed her reputation—based on her excellent book on Native Administration in Nigeria (a skilful interpretation which even half a century later stands as a classic analysis of empire on the spot), her regular letters to (and leaders in) The Times, and her lobbying of Westminster, Great Smith Street, and many Government Houses—was widespread. She had made Colonial (African) Studies a respected area of study and had become a name to conjure with in high places—a name indeed sometimes to be afraid of, though it was in the late 50s and 60s that the cry sometimes heard in the Colonial Office was 'Oh no! Not Margery! Not again!' Born in Lancashire, the youngest of a devout High Anglican merchant's family, she had been educated at a Church boarding school at Abbot's Bromley. After winning a scholarship to St. Hugh's she took a first in History at the end of the First World War. A lectureship at Sheffield (where she acted and wrote a play on Anglo-Saxon England) was terminated in 1922 by a breakdown and she chose, instead of going with her mother to the Lake District, to visit her elder and beloved sister in Somaliland where her brother-in-law, Major Rayne, was a District Commissioner. That was the turning-point—the beginning of a sixty-year love-affair with Africa. And its first fruits were a novel, sentimental and romantic perhaps, and later withdrawn and guiltily unmentioned till we unearthed it in compiling

41

for her Festschrift a list of her publications. As Margery pointed out defensively, there was no routine D.Phil. in those days, 'so, needing an outlet for my deeply felt impressions, I wrote a novel'. Reviewers ascribed it, of course, almost inevitably, to a man, Mr. Perham, and the Philadelphia Public Ledger rather surprisingly reviewed it under the caption 'Honor triumphs over sordid passion'. Returning to St. Hugh's as a Fellow and Tutor she lectured on the League of Nations and on British Native Policy, but her heart was not in undergraduate teaching. Lothian's intervention in 1929 gave her a break—twelve months' travel at Rhodes Trust expense to study 'native problems'. In Tanganyika almost a year later two cables arrived: one from Lothian offering a second year's travel; the other from St. Hugh's, that she must give up her Fellowship if she didn't return to teach. She sent off two one-word cables: 'Accept' and 'Resign'. 'I now had to sit down and consider as calmly as I could how best to use this glorious gift of time.' This too seemed to be answered in one word—Africa. And in 1932 Rockefeller also provided further extensive travel funds to make that devotion possible. When she was not in Africa she was travelling tirelessly to London to advisory committees on colonial education, particularly higher education, to meetings of the anti-slavery, aborigines protection, and missionary societies, or to Cambridge for her lectures (as at Oxford) to Colonial Service probationers. And she was at Lothian's country house preparing and planning for Hailey's African Survey: 'Eating out of gold plate at Blickling Hall with Holbeins and Van Dycks softly lighted on the walls behind us, we planned the massive attack on Africa South of the Sahara.' And, of course, there were regular visits to Abinger where Lugard, her oracle and guru, lived, whose doctrines of indirect rule she championed fearlessly and publicized, and to whose biography she was later to devote herself. In Oxford a flourishing school of colonial studies—a cherished achievement—began to collect around her and Reginald Coupland, the Beit Professor (and later also a Fellow of Nuffield). Books, reports, papers, first on the ground floor of her house in Bardwell Road, became the nucleus of the Institute of Colonial Studies, later formally under her directorship in South Parks and Keble Roads. The Colonial Service, particularly in Africa, was her passion: her lectures were to the colonial servants—a professional to professionals—analysing indirect rule as the cushion to European impact and annexation, as an economic device to keep the peace, and as an encouragement for colonial officers to interest themselves in African society. She no longer taught undergraduates nor supervised many graduate students other than Africans—for whom she waived her own exacting standards in positive discrimination. Indeed, even in her new College and home here in Nuffield, where she played a full part in establishing its reputation and traditions, she was more than a little remote from most of the students, apart, of course, from those doing her subject or meeting her in Chapel. (The only exception, I think, was her initiative in organizing us into play and poetry readings at her flat in the 42

late fifties.) She was a scholar, very much focused on her own work—her table in Rhodes House piled over the years with reports; she was also a publicist, influential on opinion and critical of policy. She was regularly on the air in the forties and fifties, gave the Reith Lectures on The Colonial Reckoning in 1961 and a delightful series of travel reminiscences in Time of My Life in the late sixties. She was tireless in her correspondence to friends, pupils, governors, officials, district officials, colonial leaders—with those who made, implemented, influenced, or opposed policy: Seretse Khama, Tom Mboya, Kofi Busia, Yakubu Gowan. Even in her retirement the spate of this correspondence was alarmingly unabated. At the age of 73 she was persuaded to go to Nigeria during the civil war and made a personal appeal to Colonel Ojukwu: 'Is it not better for the Biafrans to live, not to fight, but to work and flourish another day?' And at the age of 84 she delivered to her publisher the edited manuscript of her Nigerian travel diary of 1931. Though she moved among friends from Government House to Government House, she was up early—to the Mission, in the Market, or on the road: she was devoted to field-work and to the colonial officers in the bush and she had sympathy, understanding, and admiration for their work. And she was their champion, though it is clear that a visit from Margery was not always an unqualified joy and was sometimes the excuse for an evasive safari. One drunken DO is alleged to have met her with 'Oh, my God! Miss Perham! How on earth did you get here today? We thought it impossible and have been drowning our sorrows today.' She could be forbidding, awesome, and fearlessly direct. During her visit in the civil war the fiery young commander of the 3rd Infantry Brigade, nicknamed The Black Scorpion, tried to browbeat and order her around. Margery's reaction was short and sharp. 'Young man,' she said 'you had better pray I never have you in my seminar in Oxford.' After she retired, she came regularly back to Nuffield to dine (a vegetarian meal on moral, not dietetic, grounds, and no wine in Lent), to attend the Commonwealth History seminar, and to meet the Visiting Fellows at Stated Meeting dinners. She spoke delightfully at a dinner given in College in 1979 to celebrate her fortieth anniversary as a Fellow; and very recently she gave the College the portrait which Rothenstein had drawn in her youth and presented to her 'with his homage'. This is not the place—for it is a College occasion—to dwell on Margery's many honours, honorary degrees, and distinctions elsewhere, though she was the first President of the African Studies Association of the United Kingdom, was featured in a glossy magazine as 'The Queen of Africa', and was made a Dame, not of the British Empire, but most appropriately of the Colonial Service Order of Chivalry, that of St. Michael and St. George. Others will speak of her contribution to African Studies in the world, though indeed we launched from Nuffield itself her series on colonial legislatures, and on the Nigerian economy, as well as in the sixties the Colonial Records Project which provided some research materials for such studies. Nor is this the moment to assess her contribution to developments 43

in Africa: she was somewhat alarmed at the speed of change; she had grave doubts whether (as she wrote) Africa had 'a very ready soil for democracy'; she was long opposed to the africanization of the district services; and recent events in the continent caused her sorrow and even, in the case of Uganda and the Sudan, some distress. She has been criticized for her loyalty to Lugard and indirect rule, not least by Ian Nicholson, a recent visitor to Nuffield, but I think she never read his book. She saw not only what needed reform and change, but also the practical difficulties in the way of amendments proposed. She would have claimed that she was trying to destroy complacency—perhaps for her the first deadly sin. She saw life clearly and sternly as a pilgrimage, beset by challenges, which would of course be overcome. Her approach was disciplined and stern but nevertheless rewardingly warm and humble. (As Senior Fellow she used to insist on pouring coffee for her juniors in the SCR.) When my mother died, Margery was naturally sympathetic. 'She died, I suppose, firm in the faith . . . Well, then, that's all right.' It is appropriate that Bunyan's hymn of Mr Valiant-for-Truth was her favourite. After a moment of silence let us sing it.

Mary Reaveley Glover Mary Glover (1898-1982) came to St. Hugh's as Fellow and Tutor in 1927. Daughter of T. R. Glover of Cambridge, she had been educated at the Perse School, had obtained First Classes in Classical Mods. and Greats at Somerville, and had taught classics at King Edward's School, Birmingham, and at Westfield College, London. She was attracted to Oxford by the scope it offered for teaching Philosophy, and was for some years the only woman in that sub-faculty. In those days St. Hugh's had only a handful of Tutorial Fellows. Mary Glover's responsibilities covered classical work for Honour Moderations and for the various preliminary examinations, philosophy for Greats and PPE, political science for historians; consequently she came into touch with a large proportion of undergraduates who will remember her for her quick mind, her breadth of interests, her friendly attitude to them which extended beyond their undergraduate years, and her very ready laugh. In addition to her teaching, she was in charge of one of the College houses, 4 St. Margaret's Road. Here she personally looked after the garden, for she loved open-air activities, and had a special feeling for the Berkshire Downs, where she devised picnics (among other social occasions for her pupils) and a reading party in the summer vacation, and which she would recommend as a cure for any kind of overwork or worry. She was especially interested in aspects of philosophy which had a practical bearing, such as moral responsibility, sovereignty, and political obligation; she never discouraged her pupils from going to lectures on subjects which were not strictly relevant to their work, such as psychology 44

or religion; and works of English literature appeared in their wide-ranging reading lists. The War brought both the motivation and the opportunity for a change of sphere. She enlisted as a factory worker in the Bristol Aeroplane Company and later in the Potteries, where she lodged with working-class families; and after the War, during which she had also worked in a Government Department, she wrote some articles and collaborated in a book in which she reflected (among other things) on the effects of repetitive work on the mind and spirit. Mary Glover had thus inadvertently extended her equipment for her next post, for in 1948 she was picked out by A. D. Lindsay to start the Department of Social Science at the new Keele University; there she spent the rest of her working life, enlivening that unusual campus not only by her official work but also by the stimulus of her conversation and the warmth of her friendships with colleagues and their families. In her retirement in Cambridge after 1965 she addressed herself to the study of penal reform. She assisted her old friend Sir Walter Moberley in the revision of his book on punishment and undertook an investigation into the pioneer work of Quakers in the treatment of mental illness, some of which material was almost ready for publication when she died. Though her association with St. Hugh's was comparatively short, the link has been continued; for two of her nieces have been undergraduates here and one of them is a Fellow. C.H.

Katharine Cecilia Mary Gent Miss Gent's sister writes: Cecilia came up to St. Hugh's, from Clifton High School, Bristol, in 1926 with the Gilchrist Scholarship. She passed the Preliminary Examination in the Honour School of Jurisprudence and then entered the Honour School of Medieval and Modern History. She gained her degree in 1929, with a very good Second Class, and I believe her tutors thought that, but for some serious illness during her course, she might have gained a First. In due time she took her MA and later added a London University Diploma in Theology. Her teaching experience included a travelling tutorship in France, Italy, and Germany and five years as senior history mistress at Bedford High School. From 1945 to 1972 she was headmistress of the Friary School, Lichfield. In her last year or two there she played an important part in helping the school through the transition from Girls' Grammar School to a fully comprehensive, coeducational school, now known as Friary Grange School, Lichfield. She had ' looked forward eagerly to travelling abroad in her retirement—as she had always loved to do—but she was prevented by the 45

worsening of her heart condition and by a period of three years during which she became totally blind. After two successful eye-operations she regained enough sight to enjoy books and her garden once more. She was throughout her life a woman of great courage and serenity of mind; in spite of physical limitations she retained her interest in ideas and people to the end. She was an outstanding teacher, whose influence on those with whom she worked, both colleagues and pupils, was profound. Our family connections with the College and with Oxford itself are perhaps unusual enough to be of interest. My mother was a student of St. Hugh's from 1892 to 1895, reading French and German. My father came up in 1894, delayed by boyhood illness, and during the year 1894-5 he and my mother met at the house of his eldest sister (Mrs F. G. Brabant), whose husband had taken his degree from Corpus. The 'received version' in the family has always been that—with the tacit consent of Miss Moberly—my father achieved proposing to my mother in her own room at College! (This was quite difficult to believe when Cecilia and I were undergraduates and male visitors were not allowed—although it will not seem so strange to students of today.) Naturally we have both kept in close touch with the College and with Oxford, because our roots there go perhaps deeper than those of most other members. Cecilia died quickly and peacefully in her own home, as she had always hoped, early in the morning of 7 December 1982. She will be greatly missed by very many people. H.G.

Nonita Glenday The following appeared in The Times on Tuesday, 25 May 1982, and is reproduced by permission, and with the author's consent. Miss Nonita Glenday, headmistress of Clifton High School for Girls 1933-1962, who died on May 18, graduated in 1920 from St. Hugh's College, Oxford, with an honours degree in English Language. She was president of the Junior Common Room Hockey 'Blue' and subsequently played for Kent and England. She began her teaching career at Holland Park School, London, and was appointed to the headship of Rugby High School in 1926, the youngest headmistress in the British Isles. She moved on to Clifton High School, Bristol in 1933 and remained there until her retirement in 1962, combining the organization of an increasingly large and successful day and boarding school with a major contribution to the whole field of secondary and higher education, through her work in the Association of Head Mistresses. She was a notable member of the executive committee for many years, its chairman from 1954-6 and national president from 1958-60. She was 46

elected a Page Scholar to America in 1953. She was an honorary member of the Secondary Heads Association. After her retirement she lived in Oxford which proved a convenient centre for her continuing work in education. She served as governor of several schools, including Rookesbury Park, a preparatory school founded by her sister, and was chairman of governors of Ellerslie School, Malvern. She was also chairman of St. Hugh's College Settlement in Bermondsey. Her influence on generations of girls, teachers and all who knew her or worked with her was profound. It was not so much what she said as what she herself did which mattered, and the way she assumed that other people's standards were as high or higher than her own. She was able to draw out of people, young and old, a greater capacity for excellence than they even knew they possessed. Above all she was available in Oxford to any who wished to consult her about personal or professional problems, always ready to drop whatever she was doing in order to provide a listening ear and wise counsel. All over the world there are former pupils who know they 'will not look upon her like again' but are grateful for the chance they had to come under the influence of someone whose simple human qualities of kindness, friendliness, humour and absolute sincerity could help them shape their lives.

Mary Ethel King Mary Ethel King was educated at Clifton High School and St. Hugh's Hall, where she followed an Honours Degree course in Modem Languages at a time when relatively few girls went forward to a university. The College, still in its early days, was based in Victorian houses in Norham Gardens; women students were chaperoned, and the strict discipline under Miss Jourdain would surprise the students of today! Ethel took up a teaching career with enthusiasm She taught at the Herts and Essex High School, and then at St. Mary's Hall, Brighton. For a time she joined the staff of Wycombe High School, but returned to Bristol, to teach at Redland High School, in order to be with her parents when they lost their home in a bombing raid. Ethel was a dedicated teacher; intolerant of idleness, she would champion any girl who had the will to work, and more than once her geese grew surprisingly into swans. During her retirement, she did a little coaching, took up Italian, and played the violin in a Bristol orchestra. She retained her lively interest in her Church and in current affairs, and followed with pride the development of her old school and College, to which she acknowledged a great debt. She loved her garden and her cats; she was a staunch and loyal friend, and remained courageously independent to the last. F.L. 47

Marguerite Elizabeth Lowe Marguerite Lowe, who died on 5 January 1983, came up to St. Hugh's from King Edward's High School, Birmingham, in 1927 to read Classics. She had experience at Cheadlehulme, St. George's, Clarens, The Maynard School, Exeter, and Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, Penrith. Before becoming headmistress of the Grammar School, Kirkby Stephen, she held a Travelling Scholarship to study schools in America. In 1956 she was appointed Headmistress of the new Fareham Grammar School for Girls. Here she built up a fine school which reflected her own depth and breadth of culture. She was highly respected by the staff, the parents, and the girls. After her retirement in 1968 she involved herself at local and national level with the National Council for Carers and their Elderly Dependants and the work of the Abbeyfield Society. She was a keen and discriminating gardener and her appreciation of colour and shape showed itself in her lovely flower arrangements. Her dignity and quiet strength sustained her throughout her life, which was not always easy, and she will be greatly missed by her many friends. E.R.H. and A.C.F.

Ella Nancy Martin Those who remember Ella Martin's warmth of personality and love for St. Hugh's will not be surprised that her vigour and her organizing ability led her to a career that was something of a pioneer's in the field of education. After reading English in the early 1920s, she taught in a private school in British Columbia and then, after the required training and also some study of history at the University of Toronto, in a country school in Ontario. In 1938 she was the first professional, experienced schoolteacher to be appointed to the Royal Ontario Museum's Education Department; here, after helping develop the Saturday Morning Club for schoolchildren, she became a Senior Lecturer, concentrating on adult education and the use of film series. Between 1939 and 1967 she travelled widely and tirelessly in Europe, Asia, and the United States and Canada: she attended British Museum Association meetings and a UNESCO seminar in Tokyo, among many other activities. Retiring in 1971, she became the first former member of the Museum staff to be appointed to the Board of Trustees, an honour which she highly valued. A former colleague writes: 'I know that there are many ROM members who fondly remember her wit and style.' E.B.S. Another close friend of Ella Martin's for very many years writes:

Ella Martin died in hospital in Toronto on 16 May 1982. She had Parkinson's disease but had managed to stay in her lovely flat among the 48

beautiful objects she had brought back from foreign parts on her many journeys on behalf of the Toronto Museum, until six weeks or so before her death from pneumonia. I think Ella much enjoyed her work with the Museum, the teaching, the travelling, and being among beautiful objects. I shall miss her—we were in the same house at St. Anne's, Abbots Bromley, before going up to College. P.O'F.

Marjorie Moller The following memorial address, which reached us too late for insertion in last year's Chronicle, was given by Sir Thomas Armstrong in a Memorial Service at Headington School on 28 February 1981. There could be no place more fitting than this for a commemoration of Marjorie Moller and an offering of thanks for her life and work, for it was here that she spent her most creative years and gave the best of herself. At the City of London School and at Wycombe Abbey she had been known as an outstanding science teacher; at Denman College, after leaving Headington School, she did a valuable work of reorganization; in this place, for no less than twenty-five years, she found an outlet for all her powers in educating young people and guiding the School towards the standards that she envisaged for it. She had come at a time when numbers were reduced, finances strained, prospects uncertain; when she left, the School was in every way more confident. With the support of active governors she had stabilized and fortified it, widened its outlook, and liberated what had been a rather severe way of life. She had seen it through six years of war, the reception of evacuated children from other schools, and the temporary loss of one of its boarding-houses; she had planned and overseen the post-war reorganization, and shown in all these undertakings a notable resourcefulness and imagination. If wisdom lies, as Robert Bridges claimed, 'In masterful administration of the unforeseen', she was indeed a wise woman, for those war years involved difficult improvisations. Her aims in education were definite. She wished to equip her pupils for a useful part in that state of life to which they might be called. She wanted them not only to cope with life but to enjoy it. Although she insisted on good academic aims she never thought that 0 and A Levels were the main purpose of sound basic education, even in a university city. She wished her pupils to have more than that, and to leave the School with exacting standards in the arts and other aspects of life. Marjorie was born in south London during the last days of our great imperial confidence and into the prospect of decline. Her background was 49

a strongly evangelical one, and in the church that they attended the traditions of the Clapham sect still survived. Wilberforce and Macaulay were not forgotten, and Marjorie often spoke of the principles laid down for her by the clergyman who prepared her for confirmation, principles that remained with her for life. In later years, when she came to love France, she was attracted by the great liturgies of the Roman Catholic Church, and considerably influenced by the writings of some seventeenthcentury Jansenists, notably Fenelon; but she remained a loyal Anglican in the tradition of John Keble and the Oxford Movement. While she was still at school in 1914 the War began: the life she had known was broken up, and her natural expectations were dashed aside. Young women at that time had an early introduction to tragedy. Their brothers and the young men who might have been their husbands were killed in the Salient, on the Somme, and at sea. I was there and saw them die. I had to write some of the pitiful, ineffective letters that went to those who were waiting for them to come home. Look at the war memorials in Oxford Colleges, in village churches, in roadside shrines, all over Europe and in other parts of the world, and try to imagine the suffering that was involved. And when peace finally came it came in a turmoil of change. Marjorie Moller went up to St. Hugh's College to read Science; she had wished to read History, but had been persuaded that science was a field now offering great possibilities for women. But it was a discipline that few women accepted, and those who did embrace it were not altogether welcome in Oxford laboratories that were in any case inadequate, and were also a male preserve. It was there that she learnt to stand up unflinchingly for what she believed to be right, and learnt a valuable lesson which equipped her for some of the encounters that she was afterwards to face. While she was still coping with these problems her mother died, leaving her largely responsible for the upbringing of two sisters considerably younger than herself. Such experiences were bound to affect a young person deeply and might have disorientated her. In fact, they developed her character and increased her resources without hardening her heart or making her bitter. At the time of her funeral the Reverend Mr Michael Watts spoke with authority about the spiritual strength which enabled her in later life to give hope to those who felt they were failing, courage to the disheartened, and guidance to those who were in danger of losing their way. There must be many in this hall who were helped by her, and went out, after some time in her presence, with new determination; there may be some who were saved from disaster by encouragement, and remember with gratitude, as I do, how strong she could be when she was most gentle. She never forgot the inscription seen on a clavichord belonging to a friend. Referring, no doubt, to the unobtrusive sound of that delicious instrument, it proclaimed that plus fait douceur que violence. It's a good motto, not only for musicians, and one that Marjorie Moller took to herself. 50

What, apart from the welfare of those who were her special responsibility, did Marjorie most care for? I think for music, painting, her small but well-chosen collection of beautiful objects, the civilization of France. She had an infallible eye for what was first-rate in any field, whether a wellplayed concerto, a thoughtful sermon, a faultless century in cricket, a good display on Foundation Day by her Headington gardeners, a well-prepared meal, or the orderly routine of a classical hotel in provincial France. She could express contempt and anger over work that was shoddy and casual because it offended her sense of reverence. We may find her philosophy of life summed-up in the Charles Wesley hymn that we shall soon be singing: For thee delightfully employ Whate'er thy bounteous grace hath given, And run my course with even joy, And closely walk with thee to heaven. Yes, my friends! There it all is, our memory and our hope; and how fitting that an old Oxford poet, from the Christ Church whose Cathedral she loved, should sum it up for us in words so simple and unforgettable. I thought of them as we took our leave of Marjorie Moller that rainy day in Old Marston Church: and the dominant note that kept sounding in my mind, like the ground bass in some great passacaglia, was the word `delight'. We could look back, that group of friends, not only on her courage in life, but also on her serenity in death窶馬ot only on our love for her and our loss, but also on the love she gave and our indebtedness窶馬ot only on her achievement, but also on the joy she had in the making of it. I too will something make And joy in the making Altho' tomorrow it seem Like the empty words of a dream Remembered on waking. Yes, there was joy, much joy, joy in everything that was well done, highspirited, characteristic, stylish, amusing: and there is joy for us this afternoon in remembering her, and in thanking God for what she was and what she did.

Joyce Constance Plaistowe (nﾃｩe Winnington-Ingram) Joyce came up to St. Hugh's in 1927 to read History and subsequently spent a year at the LSE doing Social Studies. She then did the Octavia Hill Housing Management training and worked at Notting Hill and later at Islington as a housing manager. Her liking and concern for people fitted her admirably for her profession and she enjoyed the humour and courage 51

of her Londoners. She was involved in many branches of Church work and sat on the committee of a hostel run by the Society of St. Alban and St. Sergius. She loved foreign travel and loved Oxford. She rarely missed a Gaudy. In 1961 she married Ronnie Plaistowe, who was, at the time, Archdeacon of Timaru and later became Archdeacon and Vicar General of Christchurch, New Zealand. It proved to be an ideally happy marriage and she was a great help to him in his work. It was no surprise to me to find, when I visited her in 1974, that she was as loved and respected by her many new friends in New Zealand as by her old friends at home. Her death in February 1982 after a long and distressing illness was a sad loss. She will be remembered for her absolute integrity and her inherent goodness which brought out the best in everyone with whom she came in contact. E.R.H.

Marion Lily Slocombe Her great-niece writes:

Our dear great-aunt was a graduate of St. Hugh's—did women graduate in those days? I do not know. But she often told us of her College days; attending lectures only with a chaperone; the communal hat kept by the front door to wear to lectures. And a lovely story that she was one of the first women to be allowed to attend a maths lecture at Balliol without a chaperone. We miss her so much, for her mind was alert to the end, and her pen ever active, still writing wonderful letters, even though her sight was failing. She was recovering from a successful cataract operation when she had a stroke from which she never regained consciousness. In her home at St. Katharine's House, Wantage, she was dearly loved. S.R.S.

Barbara Wardle The headmaster of Frensham Heights School writes:

Barbara died in the evening of 21 June, after a long and depressing illness. She endured her suffering with typical fortitude, never losing her considerable self-control or embarrassing others with her own pain and distress. Indeed, Barbara was so sensitive to others that she made it rather difficult for them to show their regard for her; she played off any sign of affection or sympathy, partly from acute shyness and reserve, partly because she had a horror of imposing any burden on others. 52

Only as the cancer that killed her took its inexorable grip did she at times manifest the universal need for love to be expressed. Oddly and touchingly, Barbara found in her time of suffering that Frensham Heights could reach her through those long-established barriers of reserve she had built up over the years. It was the pupils and colleagues from Frensham Heights who sent a constant flood of gifts and messages to her, and who may well in so doing have contributed to a spiritual calm that came over her in her last months of life. Barbara was a devout Anglican; her belief in God and an afterlife no doubt gave her the grace to suffer with hope and faith. But I know how much the gifts and letters from Frensham meant to her, and if there is a scheme of things through which some kind of grace operates, Frensham was part of it. Barbara was a well educated and clever woman. Educated at Blackheath Grammar School, she won an Exhibition at St. Hugh's College, Oxford, in 1953 and took a good Honours Degree in 1956. She remained at Oxford to take her Teacher's Postgraduate Certificate. She was made a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and was an excellent geography teacher. She was extremely modest and it took some time to realize how fine a scholar she was, and how deeply she thought. The death of a person of Barbara's quality is nothing less than tragic. She was only 47. She had immense integrity, never grumbled, always did her job thoroughly. She never gossiped about others, never said an unkind thing. Such virtues are very rare Unkind gossip is a kind of social cancer which precludes joy in communities; that was a cancer from which Barbara never suffered. If there is an Eternal Peace, may Barbara rest in it. A.L.P.
