2The Warden

From The Warden

Dear Antonian,

If I could be indulged a small piece of whimsy: the meeting which took place with the new students at the end of Noughth Week was one of the strang-est experiences of my life. I found myself instantly transported back to the time I was a new student in 1982. Raymond Carr was standing in my place, and the shoes of Philip Robins (Senior Tutor), David Johnson (Dean), Allan Taylor (Bursar), Peter Robinson

(Domestic Bursar), Jill Flitter (College secretary) were filled by Christopher Platt, Derek Hopwood, Archie Willett, John Sell-ers and Pam Vandermin respectively. The whimsy is that all our introductory speeches seemed to mirror exactly what was said to me twenty-four years ago. This cannot be true, however, as the College has changed so much in the intervening years.

Just how much the College has changed has been the biggest surprise of the past few weeks. For years I have been telling peo-ple that St Antony’s has ‘about 300 students’; in fact, in 2005/6, it had over 450. The number of Governing Body Fellows has dipped slightly since last year from 40 to 38: our new Warden, Margaret Macmillan, has not yet arrived to replace our just-de-parted Warden, Marrack Goulding, and while Joe Foweraker has replaced Alan Angell, David Faure announced in the summer that, with regret, he would not be returning to Oxford follow-ing his sabbatical leave in Hong Kong. The College now has 55 Emeritus, Honorary and Foundation Fellows; around 100 Re-search Fellows, Visiting Fellows and Senior Associate Members; and 125 Senior Common Room Members. Many of the staff who work in the College work part-time but if one turns them into that basic denominator of people beloved of funding councils, Full Time Equivalents, they number around 60. In short, St An-tony’s has grown to a community of over 800 people.

My role this year is to ensure continuity - and as smooth a transition as possible - between the Goulding and MacMillan eras. While he has been too modest to make much of it himself in his various newsletter reports, the changes which have taken place during Marrack’s time as Warden have been dramatic. The almost-termly emergency meetings about funding - accompanied by alarming charts illustrating how many more years we could continue to draw down so heavily from our endowment - have been replaced by discussions about how to spend our ‘academic dividend’. Thanks in great part to the stewardship of our Bursar, Allan Taylor, the Holy Grail of a safe-take of 4.5% from our endowment has been reached and we actually produce a modest surplus at that rate. In the meanwhile, the goalposts have been moved and what was ten years ago considered a safe-take of 4.5% is now out of line. Even at the new norm of 3.5%, however, the indications at the time of writing are that we would have produced a surplus last year.

Fundraising is no longer a contested element of the St Antony’s culture. Marrack’s legacy here has been the establishment of a professional fundraising operation under the newly-appointed Development Director, Emma Tracy, along with our new Anto-

nian Network and Public Relations Officer, Vanessa Hack. While Emma and Vanessa (and a third colleague yet to be appointed) have a wider brief than Polly Friedhoff and Janet Collyer carried in the same office, I know they see themselves as receiving an invaluable mantle of knowledge, operational systems and good-will towards the College from their predecessors. We are now in a strong position to work with the University as it sets about launching its Campaign of Campaigns in the autumn of 2007.

Two other developments during the summer bode well for the financial future of the College, though both of them are at an early stage of development. Following its review of provision for graduate students across the collegiate university, the Univer-sity has announced a new initiative to increase prestigious full cost scholarships for graduate students. This is a further sign of the shift within the University from undergraduate to graduate teaching. The University has also issued a set of proposals which promises substantial new income streams for St Antony’s. The mechanics of this proposal are somewhat complex but at its base is the idea that all parts of the University, including the colleges, should pay for the services they use and receive money for the services they provide. There are winners and losers in this model (though the economists assure us that it is not a zero-sum game), but the current projections suggest that most graduate colleges, including St Antony’s, will be the major beneficiaries of this shift in university funding. In many ways, this is a question of virtue being rewarded; all the years that St Antony’s has developed, nurtured and protected Area Studies will finally be recognised fi-nancially. It can also be interpreted as part of a wider shift within Oxford from a concentration on teaching to research.

Another area that we will be looking at in the course of this year is reorganising the College Office following the departure of Pauline Maclean, our Governing Body Clerk, following six much-appreciated years, and the impending retirement next year of Jill Flitter, our College Secretary, after considerably more. We will continue to refine our new admissions system that David Washbrook has worked so hard on over the past two years. We will be keeping a weather eye on the developments at the Radcliffe Infirmary site as the Humanities Department refines its plans there. We will have extended conversations with the JCR about maintaining service levels for students in the College in the light of the large increase in numbers which we have experienced over the past few years. The current JCR continued the tradition of doing a fabulous job in welcoming the new students this year and we need to ensure that these new students will feel equally positive about the College when they induct the new cohort next year.

It goes without saying that I feel very honoured and privileged to be invited to be Acting Warden in the College where I have spent almost all of my adult life. At the same time, as an anthropologist who has signed up to the anthropologist’s ethical code, I should perhaps also admit that the experience is providing some invalu-able comparative material for the book which I am currently writing on higher education institutions in Japan!

The College's fifth Warden, Professor Margaret MacMillan, will take office in July 2007.

�2006 Gaudy - The Deakin Days

The Deakin Days Gaudy, 1st July 2006

Other News

One of the best things to happen in midsummer this year was the reunion of former college members, and many of their partners, who had experienced the College in the years from 1950 to 1968, under the Wardenship of Sir William Deakin. On a warm and sunny afternoon, and despite the competition of the World Cup football quarterfinals (in which England were defeated), a remarkably large crowd of elderly but dazzlingly handsome and/or beautiful Old Antonians left their tea in the buttery and took their seats in the Nissan Lecture theatre. Once there, they were subjected to a rambling harangue by myself under the mysterious but hopefully enticing title of ‘A walk in a Monastery Garden’. The aim was to remind people of life in the College in what Ralf Dahrendorf once described as its ‘campfire days’, whilst also evaluating and paying tribute to Bill and Pussy Deakin for their tremendous contribution to the development of St Antony’s.

It was an unashamedly subjective and distressingly facetious disquisition on the delights of tennis in the College grounds, darts and bar billiards in the cosy little bar in the old building, the summer ball with its compulsory bottle of champagne, and the more serious intellectual challenges presented by distinguished speakers at the St Antony’s Society. But towards the end I did insist on reminding my audience of Bill Deakin’s distinction as a historian, and the debt we all owed to him for his tireless efforts to put the College on a sound financial footing. I also alluded to his success in developing the College’s profile as a centre of research in the humanities and social sciences, with particular reference to international relations and to parts of the world the study of which had hitherto been neglected in Oxford.

Not least, of course, was the personal impact of Bill and Pussy Deakin upon the lives of students and fellows, many of whom were present in the audience. This aspect of the Deakin years was thoroughly reinforced by the subsequent discussion. A panel of exceptionally gifted OAs gave us succinct, witty and often very moving comments on their time in St Antony’s. They included two former Presidents of the JCR, two Honorary Fel-lows, two Emeritus Fellows and a graduate of a Soviet political indoctrination institution who, having escaped from East Ger-many via Yugoslavia, became - amongst many other distinctions – a somewhat bemused student of life in North Oxford during the 1950s. There were many tributes to Bill and Pussy, and quite a lot of joking allusions to the relations of St Antony’s to the world of intelligence. The audience showed no signs of wishing to curtail the proceedings, and as chairman I eventually became mildly agitated that we were going to be late for the drinks reception before dinner. But fortunately all was well, and the Hilda Besse Building was soon reverberating to the sound of intense conver-sations as old acquaintances were renewed and some new ones forged. At the dinner we were welcomed by the Warden, Sir Marrack Goulding, who was himself on the verge of retirement.I can only say how delightful it was to see so many dear friends, and how impressive it was that so many of our former members came from so far away to make the Deakin Gaudy a truly memo-rable occasion.

Many thanks to Dr Omi Hatashin, who has been associated with the College since 1997, for donating the royalties to St Antony’s from his translation of Sir Marrack Goulding’s book ‘Peacemon-ger’ into Japanese.

Dr Xu Zerong (David Tsui), a St Antony's student �989-95, was granted a nine-month sentence reduction in September 2006. Xu, who was convicted in December 2001 of illegally providing state secrets abroad and illegal business activity, has already served more than six years of his original thirteen-year sentence.

2007 Gaudy 50 years of the Middle East Centre

Friday 29th June – Sunday 1st July

STAIR

The MEC Gaudy commemorative book

The Middle East Centre invites Antonians and friends to cel-ebrate with it this summer in a weekend of intellectual stimula-tion, renewing old friendships and fine dining. The keynote speaker will be Dr Hanan Ashrawi. Dr Ashrawi is a member of the Palestinian Legislative Council and founder of MIFTAH, the Palestinian Initiative for the Promotion of Global Dialogue and Democracy, as well as being an Honorary Fel-low of St Antony’s. Following the keynote speech there will be a reception and dinner, followed by a panel discussion by the founding fellows of the Centre on ‘Emeriti Reflections’. Saturday features a plenary session on the Hourani legacy, fol-lowing which the conference will split amongst panels on Iran, Israel, North Africa and Turkey. After lunch there will a choice of panels on culture, Islam, nationalism and oil. The day will round off with a plenary session on ‘Where Your Education Took You’, considering the ways an Oxford education prepared, or perhaps better yet, in no way prepared, our alumni for the careers they ultimately pursued. The day will be rounded off with a reception and dinner. On Sunday two plenary sessions will investigate ‘The Situation in Iraq’ and ‘The Situation in Israel and Palestine’. For a full list of the programme and speakers, check the College website at http://www.sant.ox.ac.uk/antonians/gaudy2007.shtml. The list is growing all the time, so please do check back for further updates. Fees for the weekend are £143 for meals and conference only, £223 for a standard room, and £243 for en suite facilities. A booking form can be found on the College website at http://www.sant.ox.ac.uk/antonians/Bookingform.pdf or contact the Development Office on +44 (0)1865 274497 or [email protected]. A fiftieth anniversary book celebrating the Centre’s history and impact will be available at the conference. It will be effectively a ‘who’s who’ of the MEC, listing all graduates and fellows from 1957 to the present day. We will also be using the occasion to relaunch the Hourani Fund. This fund, now worth about £240,000, supports in part a Govern-ing Body Fellowship, currently held by Walter Armbrust, which has been designated the Albert Hourani Fellowship. We hope to use the Hourani fund to encourage regular alumni giving to the Centre in 2007 and in the future, both to support scholarships and to keep building the Hourani Fund until we realize our goal of a professorial chair. If you are in touch with any Antonians who don’t receive the Newsletter, please let us know so that we can keep them in-formed about what will be the largest meeting of Middle East talent in St Antony’s history.

St. Antony’s International Review (STAIR) is entering its fourth year of success as Oxford’s only international relations journal. Though the past year has been very rewarding to STAIR members, the year ahead should prove to be even better.

In October 2006, STAIR hosted a panel discussion on climate change entitled Kyoto and Beyond: Managing the Global Climate Crisis. This panel featured Dr Benito Mueller of the Oxford Energy Institute and Dr Cameron Hepburn of St Hugh’s College, Oxford.

On December 6 2006, in the Nissan Lecture Theatre at St Antony’s College, STAIR hosted a conference in cooperation with the Oxford Internet Institute on the topic The Internet: Power and Governance in a Digitised World. James Der Derian of Brown University delivered the keynote address, The Use and Abuse of the Internet in an Age of InfoTerror. The conference was very well received and details can be found on our website: www.sant.ox.ac.uk/stair.

On February 12 2007, STAIR launched its fourth issue, Democratisation, at a well-attended launch event at Oxford’s Department of Politics and International Relations featuring a conversation between Joseph Nye of Harvard University and Sir Adam Roberts of the University of Oxford. Democratisation includes a contribution from Professor Alfred Stepan of Columbia University and an interview with Dr Ibrahim Al-Jaffari, former Prime Minister of Iraq. Issue 5, The Internet: Power and Governance in a Digitised World will be launched in May 2007.

STAIR issues are available for purchase at Blackwell’s Bookseller on Broad Street in Oxford as well as at our events and through our website www.sant.ox.ac.uk/stair. To be added to our mailing list, please visit our website or contact [email protected].

STAIR is a peer-reviewed, student-managed academic journal founded by graduate students at St Antony’s College. It aims to replicate the interdisciplinary dialogue on international issues that is a central part of life at St Antony’s. STAIR is overseen by a twelve member advisory board that includes notable academics such as Professor Archie Brown, Professor Rosemary Foot, Professor Timothy Garton Ash, Professor Avi Shlaim, and Dr Steve Tsang.

Everyone attending the Gaudy will receive a book commemorat-ing 50 years of the Middle East Centre. This will include lists of everyone who has been associated with the MEC. We would appreciate your help in checking that the names and dates are accurate and that nobody has been missed out. The lists can be found via the main Gaudy page:

The Christ Church Regatta by Tom Isherwood

After seven weeks in Michaelmas Term of sore muscles, waking up before the sun, and rowing in the cold and rain, the novices were ready for their biggest challenge yet: The Christ Church Regatta.

The Regatta began on Wednesday, 22 November. The weather conditions were so rough that no novice coxswains were allowed on the river, but it was still a great day on the soggy Isis for St Antony’s rowing. The men’s A boat secured a two length win over Oriel B and the men’s B definitively beat Lincoln B. Our women’s A boat rowed a solid race but narrowly lost to Mansfield B.

On the second day of the regatta, St Antony’s continued to show that we are a force to be reckoned with on the river. Our women’s boat intimidated the Hertford boat so much that they ran into the bank, handing our women victory. Matters were complicated for our male crews because our men’s boat had suffered damage and had to sit out for repairs. We arranged to borrow a boat that we had never rowed in before and that was intended for a women’s crew! Nevertheless, our boats acquitted themselves well. Our men’s B made an impressive comeback against New College A (one of the boats favoured to win the entire regatta), but unfortunately lost by a narrow margin. The men’s A pummeled their opponent from Mansfield by five boat lengths, to advance to the next day of competition.

That is, if there had been a next day of competition. Unfortunately, the rest of the regatta had to be cancelled due to dangerous weather conditions. Despite the frustration of not having the chance to win any more races, our strong performance in the competition is an indication of how formidable our boats will be in the upcoming terms. Now, it is back to the water and the rowing machine (the “erg”) for more training until the Torpids regatta next term.

CricketSt Antony’s easily defeated Nuffield to re-tain the Ashtray. The victorious team are, from left to right, top row: Alastair Smith, Tony Squirell, Graham Peach, Dan Koldyk, Ted Alexander, Mat Tejada, Solano Da Silva. Bottom row: Mat Linacre, Ryan Johnson, Jaideep Gupte, Al Fraser, (behind the camera) Jamie Masraff.

Table TennisSt Antony's 2 (Agnes Thambynayagam, Alexey Bessudnov and Alex Stummvoll) made it into the semi-finals of the university-wide cuppers tournament where they narrowly lost to Balliol. At the initiative of Agnes Thambynayagam and the JCR, a brand new table tennis table is now available in the Carr room for use by all College members.

Christ Church crews:Women’s crew: B: Akane Minohara / Janice Hwang; 2: Sara Louise Gertjegerdes; 3: Jessica Lousley; 4: Sigal Cohen; 5: Lindsey Richardson; 6: Annamaria Enenajor; 7: Hilary Kalmbach; S: Jessica Ashooh; Cox: Bansi MaldeMen’s 1: B: Julian Jakob; 2: Diego Candano Laris; 3: Alexey Bessudnov; 4: Simon Pooley; 5: Justin Dubois; 6: Tom Isherwood; 7: Michiel Paris; S: Geoff Cameron; Injured: Philip Strik; Cox: Julie Taylor / Gosia GorskaMen’s 2: B: Mathieu Gasparini; 2: Neil Howard; 3: Tim Krysiek; 4: Miha Jesensek; 5: Philip Heintze; 6: Diarmuid Torney; 7: Hart Feuer; S: Camilo Gomez Osorio; Unable to take part: Taichang Chen; Cox: In the races: Vicky Morton/Jude Cohen; in training: Ariana Adjani/Mathijs den Besten

Ballroom dancingThe Cuppers team were Ariana Adjani, Andrew Baldwin, Cécile Reboul, Sauwai Law, Nahid Seyedsayamdost and Garik Shteynberg. Con-gratulations to Sauwai and Cécile for coming first in the waltz and to Ariana and Andrew for fourth place in the cha cha. St Antony's students also compete success-fully in inter-university events.

BasketballThe men's team went 8-0 in Cuppers with victories against St Catherine's, Keble and Oriel, among others, but lost in the final to Univer-sity College.

Women’s SoccerWomen’s soccer goes from strength to strength. The team fin-ished third amongst all colleges in Cuppers. In the League, the combined St Antony's/Wolfson women's team went undefeated - and even unscored on - winning Division 3. This is the third year in a row that the women’s team has won its league and been promoted, this time to Division 2.

Junior Common Room

St Antony's Summer Ball Celebration

October 2006:Autumn leaves suddenly seem to have taken over the College, in their flaming red shades. The view from the JCR President’s room – which catches the oldest tree in College to the extreme right, the floral-shaped stained glass window crowning the top of the Main Building in the centre, and the bright green grass of the main lawns bordering the Hilda Besse to the left – makes for an ideal setting to write this report. It reminds me of the

dynamism of St Antony’s, a vibrancy which never ceases.

The Week of Welcome couldn’t have been better. I must thank the JCR Executive, Committee, as well as all other volunteers for this – we couldn’t have done it without their hard work and initiative. We welcomed each of the approximately 160 new students with a JCR Mug stuffed with all sorts of fair-trade free-bies. Along with the new faces, this year we have a higher than expected number of students choosing to transfer onto further degrees. This reiterates that St Antony’s continues to be the place for post-graduate study. The welcome activities now seem far gone, and I can already see close friendships, and romances, sparking up. Recently, I chanced upon a meeting with a former JCR President, from the early ‘80’s, in the dinning hall. I told him how, in spite of all my worrying about Welcome Week, it had gone smoothly, and that the new batch of students already felt at home. To this he responded – ‘well naturally, students come here to follow their dreams; and St Antony’s makes it real for them’.

JCR activities continue with vigour. Our first General Meeting pulled in close to 100 Junior Members – this must be some sort of record! We are continuing the Writing Tutoring Service, which was established in 2003. This highly subscribed free service offers two sessions per week, and is run by student volunteers (Dan Koldyk and Tom Williams). It provides proof-reading and general help with academic English; although sessions can be booked by any college student, the service is especially for non-native English speakers. To add to this, we have initiated an all new program – the Language Exchange. This innovative ap-proach to language learning taps into St Antony’s huge wealth of language ability in its international student body. It puts two-and-two together to set up ‘language exchanges’ in Mandarin-Eng-lish, Japanese-English, Arabic-English, French-English, Spanish-English, Arabic-Japanese, and possibly Hindi-Italian.

This term we will be repeating the popular Careers Evenings. These are intended to allow St Antony’s students to discover the range of possible career options open at the end of a degree programme. On the current line-up are consultancies, political risk assessment firms, as well as several development agencies. A series of Research Seminars will be also held this term, start-ing from 3rd or 4th week. These will offer students a chance to present a paper to their peers, and receive useful feedback. St Antony’s International Review (STAIR) is now going full steam ahead towards its 4th and 5th issues on ‘Democratisation’, and ‘Internet and Global Governance’ respectively. There will also be a major conference in December thanks to the generous support from the College, via the Academic Dividend.

As is customary, our social calendar is packed with exciting events. We have already had a very successful BOP, a Diwali party and a Pool Tournament. Jazz evenings, the Halloqueen BOP and the Middle Eastern party are all yet to come. In ad-dition, the European Film Society and Antonian Wine Tasting Society have been busy right from Welcome Week. Finally, there are a few additional projects in the planning stages, including

a poetry reading and open-mic night, as well as a Beer Brew-ing Society. Eco-dinners and the garden plot will hopefully be revived soon, as we have elected a new Environmental Officer.

Overall, I am enormously pleased to report a ‘thumbs-up’ for all JCR activities. The JCR is in good budgetary standing, and has funded a whole host of clubs and societies. We have also initiated a new practice of having joint JCR-College meetings, attended by the JCR Executive, the Warden, the Bursar and the Domestic Bursar, each term. The first meeting of its kind was very success-ful, providing a common platform for the College and JCR to discuss upon. I strongly believe that these meetings will bring the JCR and College closer, acquaint the JCR Executive and the Col-lege Officers with each other, and thereby make JCR functioning a lot more effective and efficient.

I must reserve these last words to mention the 2006 JCR Execu-tive, who have gone beyond their call of duty and given their all to the JCR: VP Academic (till Hilary ’06) Meredith Carew, VP Academic (from Trinity ’06) Daniel Koldyk, VP Welfare Hilary Kalmbach, JCR Secretary Emanuela Paoletti, JCR Treasurer Ivan Pearson, Social Secretaries Ted Alexander, Lisa Welze and Bar Manager Milos Damnjanovic – I could not have done much without their help – thank you!

It is with a sense of nostalgia that I end this report. It will be my last as JCR President. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with and for the JCR, and have been deeply touched by the way the St Antony’s community embraced me as a new student to be JCR President. In doing so, it has made me an Antonian for life…

Yours ever, Jaideep Gupte.JCR President, St Antony’s College, 2006.

Emma TracyDirector of Development

Vanessa HackAntonian Network and Public

Relations Officer

The Development Office

Governing body

Welcome to the new Development Office: Let me start by ex-plaining a little about the changes that are happening within the Development Office. “Development” is regularly used in Univer-sity circles to refer to fundraising and other external communica-tions. The word derives from the understanding that fundraising and alumni relations are part of the development between the College and its former members. We are not the “developers” who will be building the new accommodation block!

Both Vanessa and I did our PPE degrees at Oxford; she at St Hugh’s, I at Somerville. While Vanessa comes to us from her post as Director of Communications and Alumni Relations at the United World College of South East Asia in Singapore, my last job was running an Oxford based charity where I successfully raised £1m as an endowment and running costs of £4m over 7 years.

And now the huge challenge facing St Antony’s. The College has a great need for money if it is to sustain its position as the premier institution in public issues. Money comes from fees paid by the students, from the University in the form of academic salaries, from commercial income generated by external confer-ences but it is only just enough to keep our heads above water. Renovation projects and new ideas need external funding if they are to become a reality.

Sir Marrack Goulding, as Warden, established targets for a capi-tal campaign and committed himself with great energy toward the target of raising £10m towards the College’s endowment – the fund which will generate an income in perpetuity that the Fellows can use to fulfil the needs of the College, independent of government pressures. Whilst this has had some successes, such as the Fellowship in Mediterranean and Moroccan Studies and the Soude-Salameno Fellowship in International Relations, there is still more to go.

For instance, the Russian and Eurasian Studies Centre is raising funds to renovate the Russian library: a promise of £600,000 needs to be matched and commitments of around £400,000 have been made but now we need Antonians to help us reach the remaining target.

There are around 4,500 Antonians - former students, Visiting Fel-lows and other Senior Members - across 120 different countries. But from that number, only 250 individuals have made gifts to the College over the past two years. We know that many of you are not able to make more than a modest contribution, but we do know that Antonians have been successful at connecting potential donors with the College. We therefore need to learn the lessons of our own history: the great value that friends and members can bring to us by exposing the College to the broader world.

Antonians also need to be aware of the moves into develop-ment activity across the whole of Oxford University. Last year a

working party of the University (including the Vice-Chancellor) drew up recommendations for a shared partnership approach to fundraising between Colleges and the University, to which all Colleges agreed.

Within these protocols, the University has agreed that each Col-lege has first claim on their alumni, but, if the College does not engage in a regular programme of approaching alumni for funds, the University Development Office will be allowed to do so.

Thus the game will go on. If we do not act effectively in relation to our old members, the University will not defer to our position. For us, it is therefore imperative that St Antony’s Development Office be clear about our purpose and vision and continues to foster the commitment of our present and former members to the Antonian Community.

We have identified that the key areas of our work are to support and help coordinate College and Centre fundraising, communi-cate with present and former Antonians, work with Liaison Offic-ers (volunteer Antonians who can act as a first point of contact in their region) and support their events, communicate with the press and host Antonians and other friends in Oxford.

We are committed to doing our work. We need your help and support in order to succeed. Please call me, write to me, drop in to visit me.
