Our purpose in writing it is to offer a succinct but comprehensive account of LMH’s major activities during the year. I hope it will prove useful to all those who are interested in the College. This Report is also a result of our desire to be accountable to the whole LMH community of members and friends, to those who fund us, including benefactors and the UK government and taxpayers, those who support us in other ways, and all who feel they have a stake in what we are doing. Education and research are paramount. They are the very reason for the College’s existence. This year we have been thinking about both in the context of Oxford University’s Corporate Plan, which was approved in October 2005 (available at www.ox.ac.uk). It has been equally important for us to consider the wider context of contemporary life and work for which an LMH education is preparing our students, and to which academic research makes such a vital and varied contribution. Our educational vocation is always the same but always changing, as the core values of scholarship and creativity are worked out in a dynamic relationship with the needs and aspirations of contemporary society. LMH is for life. Many of our alumni have this year given us wise counsel, and extended our vision. All of the other activities of the College serve its educational purpose. This year, for the first time, we are able to measure our achievements in everything from examination results to the refurbishment of our buildings against the targets established in the LMH Strategic Plan for 2005-2009 (available on the College website: www.lmh.ox.ac.uk). Graduate studies have flourished, with a notable crop of distinctions awarded in examinations last summer. Although undergraduate final examination results in 2005 were disappointing overall, there were some outstanding achievements both by finalists and by students in first and second year examinations. Major improvements have been made to the financial health, physical security, and facilities of LMH. Probably the most visible change has been the extension of the Library and the creation of a very successful new Law Library. The growth of the Student Bursary Fund has been equally pleasing, enabling us to give greater financial support to many of our students. 2005 was also the year in which we prepared the way for a major transformation of the College. A masterplan for the development of the site was agreed in January, and John Simpson and Partners were chosen as architects for new buildings in October after an architectural competition. Some preliminary plans and sketches are available on the College website. LMH looks forward now to building a Graduate Centre, new undergraduate accommodation, and a lecture theatre. Student numbers will remain stable, but we will be able to accommodate all undergraduates and many more graduates on site, with superb facilities. The new buildings will express our pride in the College’s tradition, both academic and architectural, and our confidence in its future. Frances Lannon The Principal L A d y M a r g a r e t H all | P r i n ci p al’ s R e p o r t Research Lmh – An Academic Community Dedicated to Scholarship and Research The Fellows of LMH engage in research of international significance in a wide range of disciplines across the humanities, social sciences, medicine, mathematics, life sciences, and physical sciences. We welcomed in October 2004 new Fellows in French, Philosophy, and History, and Professor Vincent Gillespie, Tolkien Professor of English Literature and Language. Some key publications by Fellows are listed on pp.19-20. Projects in medieval studies, wildlife conservation, economics, and engineering are featured here by way of illustration. LMH has a commitment unique in Oxford University to the Wildlife Conservation Research Centre (WildCRU). This has been an annus mirabilis for WildCRU. It moved into splendid premises, Tubney House, in October 2004, and published the second ten-year review of its conservation research around the globe in 2005. WildCRU’s Director, Professor David Macdonald, is Senior Research Fellow at LMH. Dr Andy Loveridge and Dr Claudio Sillero of WildCRU are Junior Research Fellows. An impressive cohort of LMH graduate students are at various stages of their doctoral research. LMH has worked with David Macdonald for almost twenty years to make his vision of a major international centre for wildlife research a powerful reality, and the research continues into conservation issues on animals as diverse as lions, wild dogs, foxes, tigers, and water voles. LMH has wanted for some while to create a full Fellowship and Tutorship in Management Studies, in co-operation with the Saïd Business School, so it is good news that Dr Dana Brown, the first Clore Fellow in Management Studies, was elected to take up her post in October 2005. Other research initatives taken by the College include the establishment of Junior Research Fellowships, which are career development posts for scholars at completion of doctorate or early post-doctoral stage. The Rose Fellowship in International Relations, in its second year in 2004-05, was held by Dominik Zaum who researches state-building by the international community in Bosnia, Kosovo, and East Timor. The first election was made to the Eleanor and Stuart Rigold Fellowship in Modern History, beginning in October 2005. All of these initiatives were made possible by the generosity of LMH alumni and friends, to whom we are extremely grateful. L A d y M a r g a r e t H all | r e s e a r ch Computer aided assistance in delivery of HIFU treatment Dr Penny Probert Smith, Fellow and Tutor in Engineering High Intensity Focused Ultrasound offers a non-invasive treatment which can be used selectively to burn away cancerous tissue. Unlike current treatment methods such as chemotherapy it has few side effects. Potentially it can be used to treat many types of tumour, such as liver, renal and prostate tumours. It is therefore a promising technology and has aroused considerable interest. The therapy unit generates a high power, highly focussed ultrasound beam (around 1mm diameter and a few mm long), which thermally destroys the tissue at the focus. The focal position is moved during treatment to treat different regions of the cancer. The Oxford Churchill Hospital is one of the first in the Western world to run clinical trials in an experimental HIFU treatment facility, with work concentrating on liver and kidney tumours. The Haifu machine has recently been awarded the CE mark, essential for clinical acceptance in the UK. The HIFU system has a dual ultrasound head: one to deliver the high power ultrasound and the other to acquire conventional ultrasound images to guide treatment. Our aim is to develop methods for real time feedback through analysis of these images during treatment. This is a first step towards image-guided treatment planning and an important step towards automatic control of HIFU delivery. We are working on two areas in particular: first to derive features from the ultrasound image to provide information on the state of the tissue being treated (especially temperature, the most critical parameter), and second to provide a display which will relate the pre-operation images (MRI and ultrasound) with the images taken during treatment. The team working on the project includes clinicians at the Churchill and a team from Engineering Science, including two from LMH: Penny Probert Smith and research student, Guoliang Ye. Wildlife Conservation Research Unit’s Lion Research Project Dr Andrew J Loveridge, Research Fellow in Wildlife Conservation In 1999 Lady Margaret Hall Research Fellows Professor David Macdonald and Dr Andrew Loveridge started a lion research project in Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe. We were motivated by the concern that trophy hunting of lions in the hunting concessions surrounding Zimbabwe’s largest park, by highpaying foreign hunting clients, was having a damaging effect on the park’s lion population. The study entailed capturing and radiocollaring lions to follow their movements in the park and to ascertain their behaviour and population demography in the areas affected by trophy hunting. The project’s research findings were that male lion trophy hunting quotas (the number of lions set aside for officially sanctioned safari hunts) greatly exceeded the number of mature males in the entire park population. Trophy hunters shot over 70% of all the adult males we radio-tagged between 1999 and 2004. In addition we showed that shooting adult males had knock-on effects on behaviour and ecology of the species. For instance, new males entering prides first kill all the previous prides’ male’s cubs. This was found to be the case in Hwange. If the frequency of male turnover is high enough, few cubs survive to adulthood. Furthermore, because of unrealistically high quotas, many more lion hunts than mature lions were marketed. Therefore hunting guides were often tempted to shoot immature males, further reducing the capacity of the population to recover. These findings were presented to the Parks and Wildlife Authority of Zimbabwe, which reduced lion hunting quotas in 2004 and suspended all lion hunting in western Zimbabwe for 2005. This is an unprecedented move in a country ravaged by political uncertainty and economic collapse. The project is set to continue for at least another three years, with LMH student Zeke Davidson undertaking his DPhil on the project. Radio-tagging a lion L A d y M a r g a r e t H all | r e s e a r ch Writing, religion, and politics in 15th Century England The Housing Market Professor Vincent Gillespie, J R R Tolkien Professor of English Literature and Language Dr Gavin Cameron, Fellow and Tutor in Economics Dr Helen Barr, Fellow and Tutor in English Professor Gillespie: My research ranges from Medieval Literary Theory to Modern British Drama, but at present I am actively exploring the broad spectrum of religious writing in England in the fifteenth century. This is a period of literary history that has seen relatively little critical cultivation, apart from the groundbreaking work of Douglas Gray, my doctoral supervisor and my predecessor at LMH as Tolkien Professor. My own recent interest in the brothers of Syon Abbey (founded by Henry V in 1415), and in their magnificent library (which may have grown to be the biggest in England when the house was suppressed in 1539) has made me realise that we need to map the religious culture of this period much more closely if we are to understand not only the literature produced in those years but also the early sixteenthcentury texts produced in the lead up to the Reformation. I hope that this will eventually result in a new book called Reverend History: The Brethren of Syon and the Religious Culture of Later Medieval England. Most recently I have been working on the impact of the great Church Councils of Pisa (1409), Constance (1415) and Basle (1431) on religious culture and attitudes in England, as the English church began to recover its sense of purpose and direction after the anxieties caused by John Wycliffe and the Lollards. In this twenty-five year period, English churchmen were once again exposed to European influences after the relative isolation of the Great Schism. The issues they sought to address and reform in the English church, and the language they used to do so, can, I think, be found extensively reflected and embedded in the writings of the vernacular authors of the period, such as Lydgate, Hoccleve, Audelay, and the author of the socio-political poems in Digby 102. This is where my research overlaps L A d y M a r g a r e t H all | so excitingly with Helen Barr’s current work on those texts. Both of us in different ways build on the pioneering work of Anne Hudson, to whose scholarship and acumen all labourers in this vineyard are profoundly indebted. It’s a particular pleasure for me to be working in this area, so strongly marked and influenced by distinguished scholars and colleagues from LMH. Dr Barr: My major research project is to produce a critical edition of twenty four poems which are found in Bodleian Library, MS Digby 102. These poems are not great literary masterpieces, but they are often witty, adroit, and technically virtuosic. One of the most fascinating aspects of the sequence as a whole is the inseparability of the treatment of spiritual and political issues. Distinctively, the same sets of metaphors, turns of phrase, and set pieces are used to address matters of devotion and matters of state. What significance to attach to this depends on who wrote them, for whom, when, and how far the poems engage with definable contemporary events. The answers to these questions are far from clear. Some of the poems are harrowing in the strictness of their call to devotion, addressing the reader in ways which makes the sinner squirm (not a pleasant experience when transcribing the manuscript in Duke Humfrey’s library). Other poems clearly criticise laxity in the institutional church. These calls for reform and religious stringency alongside orthodox devotion are significant; while there were draconian attempts at censorship of religious views at this time because of heresy, the Digby poems show that the policing, and the expression, of religious sentiment were much more delicately nuanced than some earlier accounts of this period have tended to suggest. r e s e a r ch Over the past three years I’ve been involved in a series of major reviews conducted jointly for the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM) and HM Treasury, along with various Oxford colleagues. The focus of this work has been Britain’s dysfunctional housing market; a perennial source of interest for policymakers and the public alike! The government has been increasingly interested in how to make the supply of housing more responsive to market signals, but has faced considerable difficulties in formulating a coherent policy. The main problem is that no politician wants to tell voters that they must put up with builders’ lorries and lots of new neighbours. The end result is political inertia, an increasing scarcity of first-time buyers in the market, and the curious situation that a higher proportion of British land is used for agriculture (78%) than in any other EU-15 country. Our research has looked at a number of issues related to housing, but perhaps the most important is whether house prices would actually respond to increased building. As an economist I take it for granted that increased supply means that prices will fall, but it seems that many people believe that the housing market is able to suspend the operation of normal market forces. Our research has shown that house prices (and also inter-regional migration) are surprisingly sensitive to the available stock of houses. For example, a rise in the ratio of the resident population to the dwelling-stock leads to both higher prices in a region, and out-migration to other regions. This effect has clearly been at work in London over the past decade. Politically, the key is, I think, to move away from the central planning inherent in the current housing system towards a more market-sensitive, but also more locally-accountable, system. Graduate Studies Graduate studies at LMH are flourishing, in both research and taught courses, across a wide spectrum of disciplines. In 2005, over 25% of LMH candidates for post-graduate examinations on taught courses gained a Distinction. Both within the College and the University, Graduate Studies has received much greater emphasis over the past decade than was traditionally the case. At LMH in 1996, only 37 graduates were admitted and in the following year the number had grown to 64. The peak came in 2003 when 108 new graduates were admitted in response to greatly increased numbers coming to the University. Now the University anticipates that graduate numbers have reached a plateau, projecting only a marginal rise over the next few years. On its part, the College decided last year to drop back slightly to a target of 100 new postgraduates per year including senior status students. At the same time as stabilising the graduate community at 150-160 in toto, it is important to improve the ratio between students on postgraduate taught courses (PGT) and those doing research degrees (PGR). There has already been some progress here with 75 PGT to 25 PGR in 2004/05, 66 PGT to 27 PGR in 2005/06, projected to be c.60 PGT to 40 PGR in 2006/07. Needless to say, this considerable expansion has put a strain on resources. Despite the obvious quality of both PGT and PGR students, the College is only able to offer a few awards recognising significant achievement. With accommodation for only 56 graduates in Fyfield Road, the College has alleviated pressure by taking leases on houses in Jericho as a temporary measure. We have worked hard to provide good overall support for graduates and this is reflected in the University’s survey of ‘The Research Experience of Postgraduate Research Students’ in which LMH compared well with the mean of all the other Colleges, and strongly in some areas. Law and Educational Studies provide the largest number of postgraduate students. Other strong subjects include Mediaeval English, Classical Studies, and Wildlife Conservation. LMH is planning major improvements in all areas of graduate provision, including financial support, accommodation, common rooms and academic facilities. A key part of this is the development of plans for a new Graduate Centre at the front of College on Gunfield strip beside Parks Passage. The Colleges have an important part to play in maintaining the University’s international position amongst the top ten in the world. LMH has an opportunity in its building plans to create a physical and institutional structure for graduate studies that will develop traditional strengths and respond to future demands. Rev’d Dr Allan Doig, Tutor for Graduates L A d y M a r g a r e t H all | G r a d uat e S t u d i e s Student Profiles G R A D UAT E Annelies Cazemier Martin Luteran My DPhil thesis in Ancient History tries to bridge a gap in scholarly research by investigating Roman interactions with Greek cults and sanctuaries during the last three centuries BC. It explores the role of these interactions in the spread of Roman hegemony as well as their impact on the Greek religious landscape. I have been working on Boiotia, a region known as “the dancing-floor of the war-god Ares”, and I am currently researching the Cycladic islands. Besides making full use of the excellent facilities at Oxford, I have studied relevant inscriptions and archaeological material in Greece. I am enthusiastically pursuing my research, and I hope to pass my enthusiasm on to others during my future career! I came to Oxford from Slovakia in September 2004 to study for the M.Juris and fulfil my dream by engaging in one-year postgraduate study of legal philosophy. All I hoped for was one year of great taught courses. I got much more. Not only was I exposed to the teaching of some of the most brilliant minds in legal and political philosophy. Nor was it just the inspiring interaction with fellow law students from all around the world. My Oxford experience would not have been the same if it was not for the unique interdisciplinary and amicable atmosphere of my college, the place where I could always engage in a friendly chat or challenging academic discussion. The year went by very fast and I could not resist staying on for another year. This time, I have embarked on research, exploring the idea of human rights in the light of contemporary ethical issues. I consider it a great privilege to do research with the support of this honourable University and magnificent college. Doctoral Student in Ancient History Annelies Cazemier Merle Fairhurst Martin Luteran Ken Okamura U N D E R G R A D UAT E Doctoral Student in Anatomy After a nomadic childhood, the sense of belonging felt at LMH is tremendously comforting. My undergraduate experience, under the capable and caring supervision of Prof. Alison Brading, provided a wonderful foundation for my current doctoral work. Collegiate life, though, has been so much more than science. As well as being honoured with academic scholarships (Henrietta Jex Blake 2004-05; WarrGoodman 2005-06), I have been very fortunate to play a part in the chapel choir as alto scholar. This has been in tandem with musical pursuits outside of college, with main highlights including local and international opera productions and concert performances and this year’s participation at the Melbourne International Arts Festival. Being part of LMH means being part of a lifelong community to which I will always pleasurably return. Lizzie Crouch My DPhil thesis in Management Studies is titled ‘Bad debt and bankruptcy in Japan’. It seeks to analyse theories on optimal financial contracting using empirical data from the Japanese banking crisis of the late 1990s. It examines evidence for the existence of relationship banking involving long term stakeholding relationships between banks and borrowers. In addition to my academic work, I fence for the University. Last year I served as President of the Oxford University Fencing club and led the men’s second team, the Assassins, to victory over the Cambridge Cutthroats at Varsity. We also won the BUSA Trophy Competition. Tom Littler Before LMH, I took my GCSEs and A-Levels at St Paul’s Way Community School and Newham Sixth Form College respectively. Whilst studying at LMH has been challenging, it’s also been a rewarding and enjoyable experience. I’m a member of several university societies and other student-led organisations, which include the Oxford Access Scheme encouraging applications from under-represented areas and the African-Caribbean Society of which I am the Vice President. Within college, I’m a trained Peer Supporter and last year was the JCR Access and Academic Affairs officer. I sat on the LMH Equality Committee and contributed towards the drafting of the college’s equality policy. After A-levels at Exeter School and a gap year spent teaching drama, directing plays, and looking at paintings in Florence, I wanted a college which would combine excellent tuition and an unstuffy, individual ethos, and that’s exactly what LMH has provided. Throughout my time at Oxford, I’ve been juggling two existences: one as an English student scrambling to hand in essays about Shakespeare’s clowns and Bloomsbury Group aesthetics on time; the second as a theatre director locked away with actors, lighting designers and stage managers until late at night. I don’t believe you have to sacrifice one for the other; you do need to be organised and open about what you’re doing. I have tremendously supportive tutors and work best when under pressure, so next term’s combination of a Stephen Sondheim musical and a Classical Epic paper will continue the trend! Finals beckon, but the theatre will carry on... Lizzie Crouch 2nd year Scholar in Physiological Sciences I have established a routine which allows me not only to complete my work to the best of my ability but also to play lacrosse at a national level and still have time to spend with my friends. I have found that organization and time management is the key to this. If I plan how much work I can do on each day at the beginning of each week then I can plan a schedule to which I then endeavour to stick. This generally involves making sure I get up at a decent time each morning to write my essays and attend lectures before training for lacrosse in the afternoons. Ken Okamura Doctoral Student in Management Studies Emos Ansah 3rd year undergraduate in PPE Emos Ansah Studying for the MPhil in Law L A d y M a r g a r e t H all | s t u d e n t p r o fil e s 3rd year Scholar in English Undergraduate Studies LMH continues to select highly gifted undergraduates, and provide them with an exceptional intellectual formation. The students form part of a vibrant academic community with outstanding facilities and resources, and they benefit from excellent tuition and pastoral care. It is very important that this opportunity is given to those who most merit it, whoever and wherever they are. Some of our work to reach out to young students of high ability and potential is described over the page. As the individual undergraduate profiles illustrate, an LMH education also enables students to fulfil their potential in other areas as well as succeeding academically. In 200405 many students combined top academic achievement with outstanding performance in the arts, community service, and sport. An LMH education is for life – we aim to prepare undergraduates to make a leading contribution to society through their future work and other interests. One important measure of undergraduate achievement is examinations results. In 2005, the First Public Examination brought excellent results across a wide range of disciplines. Of the 119 undergraduates, 24 gained a First or Distinction and several others came very close. This bodes well for good Finals results from this strong cohort. The 2005 graduating year was unusually large, with 133 undergraduates. Many students did very well indeed. The great majority, 97, were awarded Upper Second Class degrees, while 18 achieved Firsts (listed on p.17). However, with 15 students gaining Lower Seconds, and three Thirds, the overall ‘Norrington’ score was a disappointing 62.3% instead of the 67%, that is our strategic aim. We have recently reviewed our educational provision and introduced a number of changes. These include more rigorous monitoring of our admissions process, of tutorial teaching, and of student performance. We are giving maximum encouragement and support to students to ensure they achieve their full potential. We recognise that a few students find they are not suited to the particular syllabus of their discipline in Oxford, and so we have helped them transfer after their first-year examinations to another university. But we are working carefully with all of our students to enable them to gain the greatest intellectual and personal benefit from the wonderful opportunity that an LMH education represents. Dr Fiona Spensley, Senior Tutor L A d y M a r g a r e t H all | U n d e r g r a d uat e S t u d i e s Access – Outreach – Equality Outreach Bursaries LMH seeks to admit outstanding students irrespective of social and cultural background to its undergraduate courses. It has a joint Outreach programme with Somerville and St Anne’s Colleges that encourages applications from institutions with little history of progression to Oxford, from ethnic minorities, from students with no history of higher education in their families, and from more disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds. The Outreach programme makes contact with students, teachers, advisers, parents, schools and colleges and informs them about the world-class education and supportive community that exists at LMH. Helen Odom, the Outreach Officer, was in touch with over 1,000 students who are in the process of thinking through an application to university in the academic year 2004-05. She has also worked on various projects with over 600 younger students aged between 13 and 16, encouraging them to work hard and aim high. Engaging teachers and advisers is an important aspect of getting schools to encourage their students to make an application to LMH or Oxford, and Helen has worked with around 190 teachers and advisers in 2004-05. Many graduates and undergraduates were extremely grateful for the support they have received over the past year through named bursary funds (Anwyl Burton, Joan Crow [Modern Languages], Nadir Dinshaw, Barbara Johnstone [English or Management Studies], Isabelle Mitchell Powell [Life Sciences]) and for the generosity of other Senior Members contributing to the general bursary funds. The Oxford bursary scheme (funded 50% by LMH bursary funds and 50% by the University) makes automatic awards to all undergraduates who are entitled to full fee remission because of low parental income. In their first year undergraduates are given £1000, with £500 in subsequent years; LMH had 48 undergraduates in this category. LMH chose, in addition, to make its own bursary awards to students in receipt of partial fee remission, whose parents are also unable to provide much financial support. There were 31 undergraduates in this category, who received awards of £600 in their first year, and £300 in subsequent years. Additional payments of £200 were made to those in their final year, who have a reduced student loan entitlement, to enable them to study rather than undertake paid work. Graduates and non-UK undergraduates were asked to make an individual case for support, and awards of £300 were made to 23 graduates and one EU undergraduate. LMH spending was £15,500 on Oxford Bursaries; £15,600 on additional undergraduate bursaries, and £6,900 on graduate bursaries. Further awards were made to address particular unforseen hardships. £11,119 was spent on 14 students; two of these awards were loans. The total expenditure was just under £50,000. These bursaries and hardship grants were quite separate from the award of Scholarships, Exhibitions, and prizes for outstanding academic performance. Numerous grants were also made for specific academic purposes, for example the Hans and Märit Rausing award for studying in Russia, the Barbara Thackray award for Physics, and awards for undergraduate research projects, and to enable graduate students to present their work at international conferences. Outreach Officer Helen Odom with students of the future? Jonathan Downing JCR Access and Academic Affairs Officer 2nd year Scholar in Theology I came to Oxford from St Leonard’s Comprehensive School, Durham. Since taking over the job of Access and Academic Affairs officer for LMH JCR I have helped co-ordinate a number of new schemes that we will be implementing this year. The first is an ementoring scheme, whereby members of the JCR will be paired up with a sixth form student at a nominated school via e-mail and they will answer L A d y M a r g a r e t H all | A cc e ss – O u t r e ach – E q u ali t y questions on university life (and specifically life in Oxford) as well as hopefully dispelling any myths they may have about Oxford and Oxford admissions. Alongside this we hope to continue the shadowing day that has proved both popular and useful in previous years. We are working hard on re-writing the alternative prospectus so that potential applicants can gain more information from, crucially, the point of view of students of the College. This prospectus will reflect the JCR’s commitment to improving and widening access to Oxford and, specifically, to LMH. Buildings and Facilities Disability Access The College has paid particular attention in 2005 to the effect of recent disability discrimination legislation. It has proved rather difficult to make all the improvements we would have liked to our listed buildings, protected by Oxford City’s watchful conservation officers. But we did succeed in obtaining permission to install a series of ramps in place of steps, at the main entrance to the College, into Eleanor Lodge, Toynbee and Deneke, into the Dining Hall and up to the Fellows Terrace. This has greatly improved ground floor access for wheelchair users. A stairlift has been approved and ordered to provide access to Talbot Hall; and, depending on reactions to that, a similar arrangement may be possible to reach the Old Library. Fortunately, in planning for new buildings we face fewer constraints than in our established ones, and full accessibility is very much on our minds. The College’s Equality Committee carefully monitors all these developments, and generates bright ideas to help individuals. To take just two examples, last year we were able to make modifications to our fire safety systems to welcome a new student who is profoundly deaf, and to help another to access the College after dark while maintaining strict Sabbath observance. Student Accommodation The Library In 2005 our architects Wintersgill and contractors Knowles and Son worked with many different subcontractors on the refurbishment and extension of the Library. The existing two floors were completely rewired, allowing internet access from every bay, followed by repair and repainting to the ceiling and walls, completed with new light fixtures. The removal of the nine, temporary study bedrooms and bathrooms on the ground floor enabled the Library to be extended as originally designed, and the Law Library to move from its unsatisfactory location at the top of Kathleen Lea, now converted into teaching rooms. Following the involvement of English Heritage, the structure of Raymond Erith’s design has been almost completely retained, including the full length of the central brick and stone colonnade. The result - which has the capacity for many other collections in addition to Law, a Periodicals area in moving stacks and a new Rare Books Room - has proved extremely popular with students: a light and airy space providing an ideal working environment. It was completed well within time and budget, and so attention moved in December to enhancing similarly the Science Library, in the Margery Ord Room, and then providing a new Computer Room. Also during 2005, the 38 study bedrooms and the kitchens in the Sutherland tower block were fully refurbished. The smaller Kathleen Lea project had been substantially completed in 2004. Now each bedroom has a self-contained shower, basin and toilet “pod”, creating more space. This is ideal for conference as well as undergraduate use. The ground floor Sutherland bedrooms have retained their bathrooms, fully equipped for wheelchair users. Security Enhancing security has been a major concern in recent years, with an alarming level of incidents of theft from most Oxford Colleges. For historical reasons, many arising from the arrangements put in place for access to Brewer’s Garage by customers when the road from Norham Gardens to Benson Place was closed in the mid-1960s, the openness of our site has made us particularly vulnerable. But during the year the Garage proprietor retired and handed back that part of the site to us. Under the supervision of our Head Porter, Lawrence le Carré, closed circuit TV cameras now enable all our buildings to be monitored continuously from the Lodge. New automated gates have been installed at “Brewers Neck”, between 4 and 5 Fyfield Road, and at the Benson Place perimeter, enabling fences and walls along that route to be removed. So the north-eastern part of our freehold site can finally be integrated and developed with the rest of the College. L A d y M a r g a r e t H all | B u il d i n g s a n d F acili t i e s Financial Report 1 August 2004 to 31 July 2005 LMH, like all Oxford Colleges, has just passed through our third annual cycle of public financial reporting in a conventional format, following financial accounting standards and with recognisable balance sheets. Our financial year, in line with the University, ends unusually on 31 July and the audit and approval by Governing Body happens by the end of November. Like all innovations, this was a painful process in the first round in 2002–03, but having a more formal structure in place than before has actually now made the exercise of preparing accounts easier, for both us and our external auditors. Not content with an easy life, however, at LMH last summer we then switched to a new and more flexible but inevitably unfamiliar accounting system, Microsoft Navision, which has taken a few months to settle down. It will soon enable us to keep better track of our finances from month to month, improving cost controls accordingly. In this first Annual Report it seems appropriate to present a summary of the first three years’ accounts prepared in the new format, to highlight the main developments over that period. If we focus on the very bottom line, what we see is strong growth in the College’s worth - its endowment and reserves - from £20.7 million to almost £29 million over these three years. This has come from three sources: • careful management of the College’s budget, generating a modest surplus over the period of £0.5 million; • excellent results from the College’s investment portfolio, contributing gains of £5.0 million; • generous additions to the endowment from our alumni and other donors, totalling £2.6 million. The key to our continuing financial success is to manage jointly these three elements. 10 L A d y M a r g a r e t H all | The College finances have been flourishing since 2002 after difficult years for the investment markets, which is of course most welcome. But a few recent and imminent developments need to be highlighted, to avoid complacency. While the first two lines of income, from tuition fees and student rents and catering charges, have risen usefully since 2003, they are now likely to be stable until the new buildings are available for occupation. The College is settled at its target student numbers and much of the benefit to the University of the higher tuition fees for UK/EU students is to be recycled as bursaries, with only limited benefit to the Colleges. So further growth of conference and function business is important. 2005 was disappointing but bookings for 2006 show a welcome recovery. On the expenditure side, academic costs have risen sharply with the similarly welcome appointment of new Fellows, Lecturers and Research Fellows; but the cost of College administration has been brought down, focussing our priorities. The overall cost of staff payroll continues to rise significantly each year, particularly because of increasing pension contributions but also as a result of the high rate of cost inflation local to Oxford. A new national approach to pay for all academic and academic-related staff is being implemented in 2006. Evidently, this will affect all the Colleges and the central University. We are fortunate to have such a loyal, dedicated but still only modestly paid team of academic and support staff. An extensive programme of refurbishment of our existing buildings continues. The two tower blocks, Kathleen Lea and Sutherland, have recently been addressed as a matter of urgency. Next, Wolfson North and Deneke are to be replumbed, followed shortly after by Toynbee. We face diverse difficulties with these works, including the need to obtain listed building consents and safely to remove or enclose asbestos, popular at the end of the 1960s as an insulating material. The programme of preparing for new building is now well underway, with the Library extension into the ground floor almost completed and John Simpson and Partners preparing detailed plans for new accommodation and already in discussion with planning officials. While we will continue to aim for a broadly balanced budget year by year, deficits are likely for a while due to the scale of current work on premises, as is evident from the £1.3 million we have spent in the last year on revenue account alone, in addition to the capital improvements described in the Buildings and Facilities section on p.9. In managing and controlling all these matters, the College is particularly ably served by its Domestic Bursar Bart Ashton, Accountant Audrey Freeman and Surveyor Mike McKee.

It aims to offer an account of our activities to everyone who has a stake in LMH. • We have also reviewed our decision-making processes. The committee structure which is traditional in Oxford colleges enhances participation in and ownership of College business, but it can be disproportionately time-consuming. We have ensured that all committees have a clear remit and reporting line, with a small number of key policy committees reporting directly to Governing Body. This has enabled Governing Body to concentrate on major strategic issues, while remaining well-informed about more routine business. • A major change has been the involvement of expert alumni on some major committees, including Investment (Richard Buxton and Guy Monson), Strategy (Peninah Thomson and Bruce Webster), and Buildings (Carole Gannon and Michael Clarke). Their expertise has been quite invaluable to the College, and we are most grateful for their generous participation and advice. Principal and College Staff after a staff meeting 12 L A d y M a r g a r e t H all | Governance • We have also, both as a matter of good practice, and as required by the Office of the Independent Adjudicator for Higher Education, established a formal complaints procedure for students. •One of the College's ten strategic aims is to attain the Investors in People award. This is a national standard, independently assessed. It is based on the contribution that staff can make to achieving the organisation's objectives, emphasising personal training and development. During the year we completed a diagnostic exercise, assessing our current strengths and weaknesses in human resources policies. Ruby Lamboll, who has worked in the College Accounts Office since 2000, had previous experience sin personnel with Oxfam, and so has been made the College's first Personnel Officer. With the benefit of external consultancy advice, she has formed a small group of volunteers from different departments, to consider what we need to improve and how. Early proposals include better communication and specialist training for middle managers. Workshops and coaching sessions have already been conducted in College, and job-specific training courses identified. Alumni Relations There are today about 6,000 former students of LMH with whom we are in contact, 4,800 in the UK and 1,200 in other parts of the world. They are all members of the Lady Margaret Hall Association. We want our alumni, wherever they are and whatever they are doing, to retain always that strong sense of friendship with each other and of belonging to the College which for so many marked the crucial transition to adulthood, maturity and independence. Put simply, we want all alumni to feel that ‘LMH is for Life’. More specifically, we want alumni to participate in LMH life, and to take an informed interest in its development. We hope they will contribute to the College in many ways, including career advice to current students, assistance with the development of policy and communications, and fund-raising. We aim to foster a positive and affectionate regard for the College and pride in being a Senior Member of LMH, at the same time as encouraging the desire for LMH to develop and prosper, maintaining a distinctive albeit changing character across the years. Keeping in contact with alumni is still done most extensively through printed publications, The Brown Book, produced by the LMHA Committee and Editor Margaret Hodgson, and LMH News, edited by Politics Tutor Gillian Peele. While this is neither the most direct, nor the quickest, nor the cheapest means of communication, there is still something about printed material that people undoubtedly like; it is portable and can be dipped into with ease and at will. It is also the case that in this electronic age we still have many more postal addresses recorded for our alumni than we do email addresses. That said, the proportion of electronic communication is rising all the time. May I please encourage all alumni reading this to send their email address to development@lmh.ox.ac.uk. The proportion of alumni for whom we have an email address is about 43%, which is lower than the UK population at large. This cannot be the true figure for alumni internet usage. ‘LMH is for Life’ contact will most effectively be achieved by means of a vibrant and regularly updated website, a regular email newsletter and an on-line register to let alumni stay in touch with each other and with the College. The LMH website provides this to a limited extent but we recognise that it needs a comprehensive update, and we shall be focussing resource on this in the future. This year saw our regular series of alumni events in Oxford and London, but there were also new activities to report. The June reception in London, at ABN-Amro, was the first in what will be a series of regular events “LMH in the City”. These will be for discussion, networking and socialising. The evenings will be centred round a brief talk on a topical issue in politics, business, law or economics by an LMH Fellow or Senior Member. Mrs Annette Haworth, Incoming President of the LMH Association Mrs Anne Simor, Former President of the LMH Association In the spring of 2005 there were gatherings of US alumni, for the first time outside the University’s biennial New York Reunion, in Boston, Washington and Philadelphia as well as in New York itself. Both the London and US events were hosted by alumni and allowed the Principal to bring participants up to date with developments at LMH, in particular on planning for new buildings. A final first of 2005 was a London concert at Smith Square, with LMH performers, organised by Anne Simor. It was a great success and the supper in the crypt following the concert was fully booked. This was just one of the many activities that Anne Simor had overseen during her three years as President of the LMHA, from which job she stepped down at the end of the year. We are enormously grateful for her contribution, and are delighted that she is still on hand to assist the College through her continuing membership of the Advisory Council. Succeeding her as President we are delighted to welcome Annette Haworth and look forward to her help and expertise as we develop activities to extend the contact and involvement that are the ingredients of ‘LMH is for Life’. Peter Watson, Development Director Summer Gaudy 2005 L A d y M a r g a r e t H all | A l u m n i R e la t i o n s 13 Fundraising Working with the Council and other volunteers, the office prepares all fundraising materials, conducts the solicitation of gifts and legacies by mail, telephone or in person, records all gifts and thanks donors, as well as keeping records for claiming tax under Gift Aid. The LMH 125 campaign The Development Office The year marked the 10th anniversary of the setting up of the LMH Development Office. Over the ten year period some £8,603,000 in philanthropic income from donations and grants has been received by the College. The office exists solely to support the educational purposes of the college. Within the overall Strategic Plan of the College, we work to a programme developed by the College’s Development Committee and approved by the Governing Body. Members of the LMH Advisory Council have been hugely supportive of the Development Programme, in proposing initiatives in both the fundraising and alumni relations areas, and in contributing to these both personally and by influencing donations from other sources, notably foundations. Total £4.95m £7.0m Tutorial Fellowships £1.75m £2.5m Research Fellowships £0.43m £0.50m Library & Accommodation £0.35m £2.0m Bursary Fund £1.33m £2.0m Unrestricted £0.70m Other £0.38m RaisedTarget LMH 125 Campaign, October 2003 – December 2005 14 L A d y M a r g a r e t H all | F u n d r aisi n g New gifts and pledges of £785,009 during the 2004-05 financial year took the LMH 125 anniversary campaign total to £4,544,930 million. Support was received for most areas of the portfolio, but particularly for the Wildlife Research Fellowship, for unrestricted giving and for the Library. In the present financial year 2005-06 a further £407,331 has been pledged taking the current total to £4,952,261, and progress in the main project areas is shown below. Income for 2004-05 Total income received for the year was £738,287. This compares with the target in the Strategic Plan of £850,000, and is disappointing in this respect. It was, however, a lean year for legacies received, £114,183 compared with £1,087,851 in 200304. Two positive pointers are that the non-legacy income at £624,104 is up on last year (£575,185) and that the number of first time donors (229) kept pace with the previous year’s total of 224. The total number of donors for the year is 786 (766 in 2003-04). Of these 698 are alumni donors, who represent 11.5% of the alumni body. This proportion is broadly equivalent across the majority of Colleges in Oxford. An analysis of the sources of the donations is given in the table on page 15. The main fundraising focus now is for the Library. £85,000 in cash was raised in 2004-05 for this project, and the total pledged at the date of writing has now risen to £340,000 against the target of £700,000. Dame Barbara Mills, Chair of the Library Campaign, has written to and followed up approaches to specific individuals, and the Principal, Dr Holmes as Fellow Librarian and Miss Kennedy as Senior Law Tutor have written personally to former students. The Principal also wrote to parents of this year’s graduating students. Further approaches continue to be made. Of the other Campaign projects £167,347 was received in 2004-05 for the Wildlife Research Fellowship. This was largely thanks to a specific campaign led by the Teacher Family, amongst its friends and contacts in memory of Mr James Teacher. The total pledged since the start of the Campaign in the autumn of 2003 is £320,907 including donations from alumni and future pledges from the Teacher family itself, for which we are most grateful.
