Rector
Dear Old Members, Fellows, Parents and Friends
T
his booklet is a long thank-you letter. Your generosity and support have
allowed us to do many things in this past year that would not otherwise
have been possible. We have, for instance, endowed a new Fellowship
in Modern History, securing teaching of 19th and 20th century history
for our undergraduates. We have created a portfolio of undergraduate
bursaries to help able students who are suffering financial hardship,
often because of difficult family circumstances. We have launched new
graduate scholarships to attract the brightest and best from around
the world, and especially from developing countries. And we have
transformed the appearance of the Chapel, by cleaning the dingy grey
stonework to reveal creams and golds of astonishing beauty.
Thanks to your generosity, we are able to help students who want to
attend academic courses or conferences abroad or to buy expensive
textbooks for their courses. We have extended our range of travel
scholarships. And we have set up an ambitious programme to offer
career guidance and internships, many of which are linked to bursaries
to ensure that it is not just students from privileged backgrounds who
can afford to take up work experience places in the long vacations.
“This booklet is
a long thankyou letter. Your
generosity and
support have
allowed us to
do many things
in this past year
that would not
otherwise have
been possible”
Frances Cairncross
Rector
Donors’ Report 2006
Our students have a host of small needs that your support allows us to
meet: a pair of rugby boots for a student who could not otherwise afford
them and therefore could not play for the College; a new set of drums
for the (well insulated!) Music Room; funds to subsidise the annual choir
tour; the cost of holding a seminar for students, addressed by an eminent
speaker. All these real examples add to the richness and excitement of
College life. They allow students to learn and experiment and develop
outside and beyond their formal courses. Even a very small donation is
often enough to make wonderful things happen that might otherwise
not take place.
Important tasks lie ahead, as we begin to plan in earnest for our 700th
anniversary in 2014. We will need to increase our support for teaching
and tutorials. We will need more space for teaching, and we are looking
at ways to refurbish and expand the space in the Back Quad. We need
to upgrade the Library, where many students spend so much of their
time. We need to build more student accommodation.
We have been fortunate at Exeter College to enjoy nearly seven centuries of philanthropy and
we are tremendously grateful to all the Old Members, Fellows, Parents and Friends who have
been generous to us over the past year. But I wonder whether, in the next few years, we can do
even better. I notice that 23% of our Old Members have made a donation in the past year. That is
about the average for Oxford Colleges, although less than half of what many American universities
achieve. However, I am struck by the fact that nearly half of our final year of undergraduates have
contributed philanthropically. This is an inspiring sign of their belief in the need for each generation
of Exonians to give back something for the benefit of those who come after them. Our students
know the value of what they have received from the generosity of past generations, and are happy
to continue the tradition. It would be wonderful if all our Old Members could match their faith and
commit to supporting the College in the years leading up to our 700th birthday.
A College is a remarkable institution, with some of the best characteristics of a club, but also those
of a family. Each generation plays its part in supporting those who come after. For the sake of
posterity, and for the future of scholarship, thank you for your support in the past and the promise
of continuing encouragement in the future.

The Exeter
College
Annual Fund
‘As a direct

generosity,
we have been
able to fund
bursaries, travel
and career
grants, provide
extra tuition
where required
and undertake
essential
refurbishment
work’
L
ast year, gifts to the Old Members’
Fund accounted for one third of
our philanthropic income. Made
up of regular and single gifts, from
Old Members and Fellows, Parents
and Friends, this annual fund is a
vital resource for financing annual
projects. As a direct result of your
generosity, we have been able to
fund bursaries, travel and career
grants, provide extra tuition where
required, and undertake essential
refurbishment of the JCR and some
of the residential staircases.
W
hen there are so many
requests for support coming
from so many worthy causes, we
are very grateful that over 20%
of our Old Members consider
Exeter a priority in their personal
philanthropy. Without this regular
stream of income we would not
be able to guarantee the high
level of student and tutorial
support we offer each year.
As a middle-ranking College,
financially speaking, we currently
have enough resources to be
confident of carrying on in one
form or another. But we are not a
rich College and without this vital
source of support to augment our
endowment income, we will lose
that margin of excellence that
makes Exeter College so special.
E
Donors’ Report 2006
veryone who makes a donation
to the Old Members’ Fund
is encouraged to express a
preference regarding the area
of College life about which they
feel most strongly. Gifts to the
Old Members’ Fund are pooled
and then disbursed by the
Development Board which takes
into account these preferences. As
we do not take an administrative
charge off the gifts we receive,
Old Members, Parents and Friends
can be assured that 100% of their
gift is being used for these projects
which would otherwise be underfunded, or simply not happen.
B
y continuing to underpin core
areas of College activity, the
Old Members’ Fund enables Exeter
to stand out amongst other Oxford
Colleges through the enviable
level of support we are able to offer
students. As the number of gifts to
the Old Members’ Fund increases,
with Fellows, Old Members,
Parents and Friends each regularly
contributing a sum with which they
feel comfortable, we will ensure
that Exeter continues to flourish
and excel in every area of College
life for many more years to come.
Special congratulations to those
who matriculated in 1945, 48%
of whom made a donation last
year - the highest proportion
for any year

As a middle-ranking College, financially speaking, we cannot rely on our endowment income and
our thriving conference trade alone. The costs of supporting and teaching students, retaining top
Fellows and maintaining our buildings are continuously increasing and we are becoming ever more
dependent on the generosity of Old Members, Parents and Friends.

Most of the gifts given to the Old Members’ Fund are used in the same financial year in which
they are received to support projects that would otherwise be under-funded or simply would not
happen. In addition to gifts made to build up our endowment, other major gifts are often used to
fund specific projects such as endowing a bursary or Fellowship, or to enable us to undertake major
building works.
Donors’ Report 2006
Student
Support
“The incredible
sense of
community we
achieve within
these walls is due
in no small part
to the provision
of hardship
funds which
enable us to take
advantage of
every opportunity
we have here,
irrespective
of contrasting
financial
situations. For this
I would like to
extend a heartfelt
thank you, on
behalf of current
Exonians”
Octave Oppetit
JCR President
Donors’ Report 2006
W
ith the increase in “topup-fees” implemented in
September 2006, student financial
hardship is an even greater issue.
All our poorest students receive
some financial help. But Oxford
is an expensive place. Inevitably,
there are still many students who
will struggle during their time at
College.
T
here is now a system of grants
and loans for maintenance,
which is supplemented by loans for
fees and various bursary schemes.
But for some students, particularly
those from families whose income
is just above the cut-off thresholds,
it is still very difficult to make
ends meet. It costs an estimated
£10,000 to live in Oxford for one
year (including all fees for a home
undergraduate, accommodation
and food). The maximum grant
is £2,700 and maximum loan
£4,405 provided that your residual
household income is less than
£17,500. For those above the
threshold, these are means tested,
as parents and students are
expected to contribute to the cost
of taking a degree.
T
hanks to the generosity of
Old Members, Parents and
Friends, Exeter is now able to offer
financial support to any student
experiencing hardship. In addition,
we are able to ensure that no
student is excluded from the
wealth of opportunities available
because of financial difficulties.
Your generosity enables us to
provide not only hardship bursaries,
but also support for student travel,
music and sports.
T
his commitment to student
support prevents the College from
becoming a tiered institution with
unfair divisions between those who
can and those who can’t afford
to take advantage of everything
on offer. We are determined that
Exeter should remain an inclusive
place with exclusive opportunities
and it is your support which makes
this possible. Thank you.
A
s many already know, the true
cost of an Oxford education
is much higher than the fees that
(home) students are required to
pay. Even the recent increase in
fees to £3,000 is nowhere near
enough to cover the cost of the
tutorial system which Oxford, and
Exeter, are determined to maintain.
The tutorial is the envy of many
other universities, and the heart
of Oxford’s unique educational
experience. We remain deeply
committed to it.
Y
our support enables us to
attract, retain and support
top academics, and ensures that
every student receives the best
education possible. In short, you
enable us to safeguard Exeter’s
future by making it possible for us to
dedicate ourselves to excellence
in teaching and research. Thank
you.
I
n the last year we have been
fortunate enough to secure
funding to endow a Fellowship in
Modern History (see pages 10-11).
This means that we will always be
able to teach History at Exeter,
regardless of any further changes in
Government or University Funding.
By building up our endowment, and
by protecting teaching posts such
as this one, we are able to maintain
our security and independence.

Leavers’
Gift
“The Leavers’ gift
is a tremendous
signal to our older
Alumni that their
own generosity
over the last
several years
is appreciated
and understood
by current
undergraduates,
and it tells us
all that the next
generation is

Mark HoughtonBerry (1976, Literae

Chairman of the
Development Board
Donors’ Report 2006
I
n 2005, the College was delighted
to receive a gift of £215 from 43 of
the students who left that summer.
Organised by Katherine Batchelor,
these students each made a gift
of £5 to the Old Members’ Fund.
They asked that these gifts be used
to support students who were to
come after them. An Old Member
in the United States was so struck
by this tremendous show of support
that he offered to match their gift
and pledged to do so again the
following year.
I
n June 2006, 52 students,
coordinated by Rachel Knibbs,
made a gift and together raised
£260 which was matched again
by the same American donor.
Once the match gift was added,
each of these two year groups had
funded a whole Exonian Bursary for
another student facing hardship.
W
hen asked why they chose
to make a gift, many of
the students replied that they
recognised the importance of
supporting Exeter financially and
were aware that even the smallest
gift makes a difference. Many had
been recipients of specific College
support, such as hardship bursaries,
travel grants and sports funding,
and wanted to give something
back; others wanted to ensure that
future students would benefit from
the same opportunities. It was their
choice whether or not to make
a gift and, in the end, nearly 50%
decided to do so.
E
very single student who has
ever passed through the gates
of Exeter College has benefited
from the generosity of those who
went before; without philanthropy
there would be no Exeter. The
example from the youngest of
our Old Members is a tremendous
challenge to all of us to join them
in supporting Exeter.
In 2005, 43 students made
a gift of £5 each before
leaving Exeter.
They raised £215.
This was exceeded in 2006
when 52 students followed
their example and raised a
total of £260.
I
guess I am not the typical Exeter
student. I am thirty-something,
married with four children. There
is not a lot of talk about nappies
or primary schools in the MCR.
It would be easy to feel like an
outsider, but Exeter College has
been so wonderful to me that I can
scarcely believe it.
W
hen I was accepted last
year to read for the M.Phil
in European Archaeology, I knew
that leaving my children behind
for two years was not an option.
My husband and I sold most of our
belongings, took out a massive
loan, and jumped feet-first into an
incomparable experience abroad.
There was enough money to cover
tuition, accommodation and daily
meals, but when a clerical error in
the U.S. froze our funds for a few
months, things began to get tight.
W
ith an incredible sense of bad
timing, my youngest daughter
decided to use my spectacles
as a form of modern art, in the
destructive way only two-year-olds
can truly master. There was definitely
no surplus of funds to replace them
in our household budget, and I
came to dread my daily stint at the
Sackler Library, squinting my way
through the volumes, and returning
home with an aching head. I knew
I would have to wait for the next
loan dispersal (a few months away)
if I was to get new glasses.
T
hen someone in College told me
about the Exonian Bursary, and
how they were awarded to students
who had fallen upon hard times
and whose studies were suffering
through financial strain. I submitted
an application and hoped for the
best. Imagine my complete joy
when I was told I was the recipient
of a very generous Exonian Bursary.
I could look forward to continuing
my research without jeopardising
my eyesight.
I
don’t suppose that a few words
can adequately express the
gratitude I feel for those who
contributed to the funds that
helped me. To help a complete
stranger without expectation or
agenda is one of the great acts of
kindness. I can only offer heartfelt
thanks and the promise that when
I join the ranks of the Old Members,
I shall continue the tradition of
generosity.
A Huge
Thank You

History
Fellowship
Campaign
Dr John Maddicott
Emeritus Fellow
Over 150
Old Members,
historians and
non-historians,
joined Sir Ronald
Cohen to create
this Fellowship
in Modern History
following Dr John
Maddicott’s
retirement in
2006.
10
Donors’ Report 2006
F
ollowing a generous donation
of £1m from Sir Ronald Cohen in
2005, the College was challenged
to raise a further £250,000 to endow
a new Fellowship in Modern History
(following Dr John Maddicott’s
retirement last year). In November
2006, the History Fellowship
Campaign closed successfully,
having been supported by over
150 Old Members, including some
non-historians. Many said how
pleased they were to be given the
opportunity to support something
that would have such a lasting
effect, even if they were only able
to make a modest gift themselves.
Furthermore, of all those who
contributed, 42 made their first gift
ever to the College.
A
s a result of this outstanding
support, the College was
able to appoint our new Fellow
in Modern History, Dr Christina de
Bellaigue, in September 2006. She
has settled in well to College life and
enjoys her teaching responsibilities.
Her research focuses on the history
of education and childhood, the
relationship between gender and
notions of national identity, and
the history of social mobility and
social structure.
W
e frequently say that, without
the philanthropy of our Old
Members and Friends, the College
would be a poorer place, not just
financially, but intellectually and
socially. That we have had such
success is not only a testament
to the generosity of our Old
Members but also a fitting tribute
to Dr Maddicott, whose teaching
is remembered by so many with
deep respect and affection.
Although Dr Maddicott has now
officially retired, he continues to be
very much part of College life.
T
he success of this Campaign
proves that every gift to College
really can make a difference. We
are proud that together we have
secured another fine teaching
Fellow to continue the traditions
and excellence of the tutorial
system for generations of students
yet to come.

Major Gifts
Exeter has
been fortunate
to receive
several major
benefactions
over the last
year.
Exeter has been very fortunate to receive
several major benefactions in 2005/6. In
addition to these, we have also recently
received funds to create several new named
scholarships for hardship and, from John
Quelch, funds to create the Harvard Room,
for teaching and discussion.
Hall Windows and Library Shelving - David
Hartnett (1971, English)
Through the Hartnett Trust, David and
Margaret Hartnett have committed to
funding the much needed work to restore
the Hall Windows. Several windows have
now been returned to their former glory
and, over the next few years, the remaining
windows will be also be cleaned and
repaired.
In addition, David and Margaret made a
gift to provide new shelving in the Library. As
our collection continues to grow we need
the space and shelving to ensure that they
are accessible at all times, otherwise many
of these books would have to be stored in
the stacks.

Donors’ Report 2006
Iain Lumsden’s generous gift has provided the College with a
graduate Teaching Assistant in Mathematics. The Assistant does
not undertake tutorial teaching, but assists the Maths Fellows
with their marking and supplementary teaching. This means that
additional teaching support is available for Undergraduates
and that the Fellows can focus on their tutorial teaching and
research.
Cleaning the Chapel - Stephen Green (1966, PPE)
Stephen Green’s gift has enabled the College to clean the interior
of the Chapel as part of the major restoration work that Exeter
is undertaking to restore and preserve this Gothic masterpiece.
Imagine our surprise when, after erecting seven storeys of
scaffolding, we realised that the ceiling was actually made up
of two tones of cream and gold. It is only as the cleaners reveal
the radiant limestone that we realise how much we have been
missing.
Winston S. Churchill
Scholarship
- Richard Mahoney (Friend)
Richard
Mahoney
is
a
Friend of Exeter and a keen
philanthropist. His passion
for Winston Churchill and
conviction of the value of an
Oxford education led him to
create the Winston S. Churchill
Scholarship for an American
graduate who wishes to study
Churchill’s era. We hope to
see the first Scholar arrive at
Exeter in October 07.
K C Wheare Memorial Bursary
- Lady Wheare (Friend)
Sir Kenneth Wheare was
Rector at Exeter from 1956 to
1972 and he and his family
were a great influence on
College life. Lady Wheare
and her family have made a
gift to endow this bursary for
an Exeter College student
experiencing
hardship,
and it has already made a
dramatic difference in more
than one student’s life.

It is encouraging
to see how many
Old Members are
committed to
supporting Exeter,
regardless of how
much they are
able to give. This is
particularly true of
our youngest Old
Members - many of
whom have made
a gift of £5 to show
their support.

* for Spend in 2005/06
Our investment record is good: we had a total return averaging 11% over the past four years, and
15.4% over the past two years. However, as a 700-year-old College we have to plan for downs as
well as ups, and so we base our long-term forecasts on a lower rate of return. We assume a longterm real return of 4%. We assume that costs in higher education rise by about 1.8 percentage
points a year more than the general rate of inflation. So that 4% long-term real rate is the equivalent
for other investors of a real return of 5.8%. If general inflation is running at 3% a year, then it is the
equivalent of an 8.8% nominal return. In other words, we assume that the amount we need to earn
on our endowment just to protect it from erosion by occasional market reverses and inflation is a
minimum of 8.8% a year. In recent years, we have handsomely beaten that.

Donors’ Report 2006
Overview
This is the sixth year that Exeter has been engaged in systematic fundraising. In addition to the generous support received from Old Members,
we have also been increasingly fortunate to receive support from Parents
of recent and current students, as well as from Friends of the College. In
the last year we raised over £1m through donations, almost the same
amount as we receive from our Endowment income. Without this vital
additional stream of income to the College, Exeter would not be able to
undertake the many programmes of support, teaching and research to
which we are committed.
Donations to the Old Members’ Fund were disbursed by the Development
Board, which was guided by donor preferences, where expressed. The
majority of donors direct their gift to “wherever the need is greatest”;
many of those who make a gift are keen to support the tutorial system.
This has been particularly true over the last 12 months, with around 150
Old Members making a gift to the History Fellowship Campaign. We
have also received a number of generous benefactions to fund specific
current and future projects (see pages 12 - 13).
All these gifts enable us to guarantee the quality of student support and
teaching for which Exeter is renowned and will ensure that we do not
merely survive the next 700 years, but thrive and flourish. Thank you for
your support.

Including Exeter College in your Will
Your Will is the best way to provide for your friends and family, to help the
causes you support, and to acknowledge the influences that have shaped
your life.
Legacies have played, and continue to play, a major part in the history of Exeter
College. As state funding declines, we need constant help to preserve our way of
education, our unique environment and our distinct values.
As Exeter College is a charitable institution, bequests to it are free of Inheritance Tax
and really do make a difference to the lives of our members. Including a legacy in
your Will, or adding a Codicil, is a simple matter, although we do strongly advise that
you take professional legal advice.
If you do choose to remember the College in your Will, we would be grateful if
you could inform us so that we can ensure that all aspects of your plans are fully
understood, and so that we can thank you appropriately. This will not represent a
binding commitment, and your plans will be treated in the strictest confidence.
For Old Members living in the United States, Exeter has recently formed a consortium
with a number of other Oxford Colleges and with US Bank to facilitate methods of
Planned Giving. Specialists in Planned Giving services will provide advice on ways to
support Exeter while taking advantage of favourable federal and state tax laws.
For further information, and to receive the College’s legacy brochure, please contact
the Development Office.
