Pictured here at the special Antonians' Weekend in 1993 whichcelebrated his 80th birthday, he sits between Pussy Deakin (right) and Monna Besse and is surrounded by “his students’’ from the College'searly days. Tributes from Antonians speak of “...a sense of awe and admiration for what he had done in the war and as an historian,but also deep affection; the founder of so many good things about the College. We remain greatly in his debt”; “.. his calm and perceptiveways of running the College, as well as to take each one of us to his care and attention”; “I remember vividly his and Pussy's visit to Israel... when the then Foreign Minister of Israel, Yigal Allon, held a reception in his honour and every Israeli Antonian showed up to pay himrespect... everyone here loved him .” A celebration of his life will be held at St Antony's on 23 April(details on page 3 of this Newsletter).

2The Warden

From The Warden

A very busy Hilary Term has just ended. Our new Vice-Chancellor,Dr John Hood, formerly Vice-Chancellor of the University of Aucklandin New Zealand and once a student at Worcester College, has hit theground running. He set out his objectives in his inaugural addresson 5 October 2004. His message was clear: if Oxford is to retain itsstatus as a “world-class university”, competing successfully withother such universities, especially those in North America, it has todevote more of its resources to graduate teaching and to research,with undergraduate teaching being pegged at its present level.

Revision of the University’s academic strategy was already on theagenda and an “Action Plan” had been drafted in 2004. John Hood’senergy and vision created a new impetus and in February this yeara “Green Paper” was published. It set out a new and comprehensivestrategy, building on the earlier Action Plan but including many newideas. Nine sets of strategies were proposed for: research, teaching,the size and shape of the University, personnel, admissions, services,finance, planning and management, and external relations. Commentshave been sought from institutions and individuals throughout theUniversity and the aim is to complete a “Corporate Plan for theCollegiate University” by July this year. Reactions so far indicatethat this ambitious target will be achieved on time.

The Vice-Chancellor’s second move, in a second Green Paper,has been to propose reform of the University’s governance structureby unifying academic decision-making (currently done in parallel bythe University and the colleges), by increasing transparency and byadopting the best practices in institutional governance. The mainnew structures proposed are: a Board of 12 independent Trustees,plus the Vice-Chancellor, which will be responsible for monitoringand auditing the University’s governance and finances; and anAcademic Council of about 150 people which will be the forum foracademic decision-making. These proposals have been less wellreceived than the Academic Strategy, the main concerns being thecomposition and role of the Board of Trustees and the perceivedunwieldiness of decision-making by a 150-strong Council.

During his first two terms, the Vice-Chancellor has also devotedmuch time to mastering the complexities of the University’s finances.His findings have been damning: if the University is to retain itsworld-class status, it will have to increase its income, reduce expen-diture, find better ways of financing capital projects and publishtransparent and informative accounts.

Two of his proposals have caused some concern in colleges,including this one. The first is his determination to “reduce the costsof complexity”, by inter alia making more efficient use of the assetsof the University and the colleges, eg consolidating libraries andsimplifying the administrative and financial relationships within thecollegiate University. The second relates to fund-raising; he isscathing about Oxford’s weakness in this field and wants fund-raising to become a joint, transparent and better financed effort bythe University and the Colleges, working together. This is an issuewhich has aroused much passion in the past and may do so again.

So much for the future. Allow me to venture into the past. As youare probably aware, our founding Warden, Sir William Deakin, diedat his home in the south of France on 22 January at the age of 91. Wecan no longer say that all the Wardens of St Antony’s are still alive.

Extensive obituaries were carried in all the British broadsheets anda shorter tribute was published in dozens of newspapers across theUnited States.

The obituaries rightly concentrated on Bill’s derring-do inYugoslavia during the Second World War and on his relationshipwith Winston Churchill - as a research assistant when the great manwas writing his biography of Marlborough in the late 1930s; as atrusted SOE officer in Cairo and Yugoslavia whence he persuadedChurchill to switch British support from the Royalist resistance toTito and his partisans; and as research director when Churchill waswriting his History of the Second World War. The obituarists alsogave full recognition to his key role in establishing St Antony’sCollege, defining its academic mission and raising significant fundsin the 50s and 60s.

After he retired from the College in 1968, Bill and his wife Pussymoved to a beautiful fortified hill village, Le Castellet, near Marseilles.But he frequently visited London, usually staying at Brooks’s, andwas a generous host there. His last visit to the College was in 2000to take part in our golden jubilee celebrations. By that time, the yearswere taking their toll of his body. But his mind remained intact andsharp and right up to the end of his life he could give detailed andgraphic accounts of his adventures in Yugoslavia and more widelyin south-eastern Europe during the War and its aftermath.

I first met Bill (not yet Sir William) in the British Embassy inBelgrade in 1972. I was there as the junior member of The Queen’ssuite in a State Visit to Yugoslavia; Bill had been invited by the thenAmbassador to stay at the Embassy, brief the Royal party about hisdoings in the War and see Tito again. I have to say that Bill did notmake much of an impression; he was out-starred by the ebullientPussy, who appeared to have taken charge of the Ambassador’shousehold and to be running the whole event herself.

After joining the College, I saw Bill on all his visits to Londonand after London had become beyond his reach I went to see him atLe Castellet. He remained intensely interested in the College and wasdetermined not to lose touch with us. My last two visits before hisdeath were to discuss with him the disposal of his library; some ofit was stored in Cambridge but the more interesting items were stillwith him at Le Castellet. Some of these will now come to the College.

When he died, his brother and his sons decided that the funeralshould take place in Le Castellet and that invitations should go onlyto the family and to the villagers who had enjoyed Bill’s and Pussy’spresence in their village for more than a third of a century. But, awareof his deep attachment to the College, the family also invited PollyFriedhoff and me to represent St Antony’s. The funeral took placein the village graveyard in bright sunshine under a blue sky but witha brutally cold wind blowing from the North. Speeches were made byBill’s brother Brian and his two sons, Nicholas in English andMichael in French, and a moving poem was read by a FrenchAntonian, François Rebattet. Bill’s ashes were then laid alongsidePussy’s and the congregation dropped rose petals on the joint grave.There followed a long, rich and well-wined lunch in one of the villagerestaurants – just what Bill would have wanted.

On Saturday, 23 April (St George’s Day, as it happens), Bill’s lifewill be celebrated at a ceremony in St Antony's College Hall at 3 pm,followed by refreshments. All are welcome but please let Polly knowif you are coming, as we hope you will.

A College obituary will appear in this year's CollegeRecord later in the year.

Sir William Deakin DSO, MA (Oxon), the firstWarden of St Antony’s College, Oxford, diedpeacefully in a French hospital on Saturday, 22January 2005. Bill Deakin was born on the thirdof July 1913, the eldest son of Albert WitneyDeakin of Aldbury, Tring, in Hertfordshire. Hewas educated at Westminster School and spenta year at the Sorbonne before going on to ChristChurch, Oxford, where he took a first classhonours degree in Modern History in 1934.After graduation he taught for a year in a Germanboarding school, and his fluency in French andGerman were to stand him in good stead in theyears which followed. From 1936 – 1939 he wasa Fellow and Tutor in Modern History at WadhamCollege, Oxford.

In 1939 he joined the army and served with the Queen’s OwnOxfordshire Hussars until 1941, when he was seconded to SpecialOperations, War Office. After service in the Middle East, he led thefirst British Military Mission to Tito’s partisan forces fighting theNazis in Yugoslavia. For Deakin’s gallantry in leading this missionhe was awarded the DSO in 1943. The success of the missionconfirmed Winston Churchill’s decision to regard Tito as the mosteffective anti-Nazi force in Yugoslavia. From then on the Britishhelped the partisans with supplies and air support. This decision wasof vital importance to the future of Yugoslavia after the war becauseit meant that Tito had established himself as an independentcommunist leader and was able to avoid subservience to Moscow.His British contacts made it easier for him to break with the SovietUnion in 1948. Deakin himself ended the war as a colonel and servedin the British Embassy in Belgrade, 1945/6.

In 1946 Deakin returned to Oxford to continue his career as anhistorian. He had already had contact with Winston Churchill beforethe war, when he had helped him with research for his History of theEnglish- Speaking Peoples. Thenceforward he continued to assistChurchill with his monumental history of the Second World War, andwas often summoned from Oxford to Chartwell or to the south ofFrance, where Churchill was also working.

In 1950, encouraged by the then Warden of Wadham, MauriceBowra, and warmly recommended by Churchill, Deakin accepted theappointment as Warden of St Antony’s College. This was a brandnew foundation funded by the generosity of a French businessman,Antonin Besse. His aim was to establish an international institutionof higher education. The University authorities had been somewhathalf-hearted about accepting this endowment, which had been onoffer since 1948. Deakin showed great energy and determination inpressing ahead with the foundation of the college according to thewishes of the donor. The first students were admitted in October1950. The College was housed in a Victorian building that hadbelonged to an Anglican Convent. Its facilities were appropriatelySpartan. The untimely death of Antonin Besse in July 1951complicated matters, and it took some time for the College to be ableto invest its own money as it wished. Deakin established a clearprofile for the College as an international institution specialising inthe study of areas outside the English speaking world. He wasparticularly successful in raising funds from the Ford and RockefellerFoundations in the United States and the newly establishedVolkswagen Foundation in West Germany. Thanks to his efforts, theCollege, which had become seriously under-endowed by the 1960’s,

Sir William Deakin Kt, DSO, MA (1913-2005)

was put on a sound financial footing anddeveloped steadily thereafter. His also stampedhis personality on the College community. Aman of transparent honesty and fairness, Deakincreated an atmosphere of friendship andenthusiasm amongst staff and students alike.In this he was greatly assisted by his secondwife, Livia, always referred to as Pussy Deakin,whose outgoing personality effectivelybalanced his own British reserve.

Having fulfilled the task set for him by theCollege’s founder, Deakin took the decision toretire in 1968. Despite the burden of hisadministrative work as Warden, he had alreadypublished a major study of the relationshipbetween Mussolini and Hitler, The Brutal

Friendship (1962), and had co-authored (with Richard Storry) abiography of Richard Sorge, the German Soviet Spy in Japan who,in 1941, vainly warned Moscow of Hitler’s intention to invadeRussia. Nevertheless, Deakin felt strongly that he should devotehimself more whole-heartedly to scholarly research, and retired withhis wife to Le Castellet, Var, in France. There he published a memoirof his was experiences in Yugoslavia, The Embattled Mountain(1971), and afterwards he continued to work on matters relating toItaly and Yugoslavia during the Second World War. He was, formany years, the British representative on the InternationalCommission for the History of the Second World War. He was anHonorary Fellow of St Antony’s from 1969 and an Honorary Studentof Christ Church from 1979. In 1980 he was made an Honorary FBA.He was knighted in 1975. Among his decorations and honours werethose of the Russian Order of Valour (1944); the Chevalier de laLégion d’Honneur (1953) and the Grosse Verdienstkreuz (1958).

Deakin was married twice; his first marriage, to Margaret Beatson-Bell, was dissolved in 1940; his second wife, Pussy, died, in 2001. Heis survived by the two sons of his first marriage: Professor NicholasDampier Deakin and Mr. Michael Deakin.

A Celebration of the life of Sir William Deakin

4College News

Welcome to a new Governing Body Fellow:-

I have recently joined the EuropeanStudies Centre at St Antony’s after ateaching and research career spentprimarily in Canada, first at the Universityof British Columbia and since 1978 at theUniversity of Western Ontario. Thelecturership I now hold has long beenassociated with St Antony’s, mostnotably during the long period in during

which it was held by Patrick O’Brien and more recently by JamesForeman-Peck.

For me, economic history provides the evidential base for thestudy of modern economic growth. As an undergraduate I specializedequally in economics and history. On deciding the nature of my PhDwork, I decided that issues of economic development attracted memost and chose an economics degree over a history degree. As agraduate student at Harvard, I moved to economic history under twoinfluences. I was attracted to economic history by the dynamic groupof students around Professor Alexander Gershenkron. On the otherhand I was somewhat dissatisfied by the approach to economicdevelopment that seemed to prevail in the economics profession.Attention seemed focused on abstract models or on very detailedcase studies. It seemed to me that the study of growth and developmentrequired a longer time horizon. International differences in economicdevelopment are undoubtedly the burning question in economics.The emergence of the currently developed countries and the mannerin which these economies differed from less successful economiesseemed an important area of study. This made it easy for me tocontinue my concentration on both history and economics.

My dissertation focused on the nature of technological changeand its process of diffusion. In particular I focused on shipbuilding,which underwent a dramatic transition from wooden sailing ships toiron and then steel steamships in the mid nineteenth century. Thisled naturally to research into the development of international tradein the late nineteenth century, which was largely driven fallingtransportation costs. This research expanded into a continuingresearch agenda that included investigation of the geographicalexpansion of the United States in the nineteenth century and theBritish economy’s adaptation to the both the late nineteenth centuryexpansion of the trade in commodities and the periods unprecedentedinternational flows of capital and labour. Along these lines, I haverecently contributed the chapters on international trade to bothVolume 1 (1700-1860) and Volume 2 (1860-1939) to The CambridgeEconomic History of Modern Britain (edited by Roderick Floud andPaul Johnson). In addition I am currently carrying on research on thedevelopment of the long distance meat trade in the decades beforethe First World War, which as well as expanding world trade affectedthe development of large firms.

Of course, anyone interested in economic growth in historymaintains an interest in the Industrial Revolution. Some dissatisfactionwith the existing quantitative estimates of British growth quite anumber of years ago led me to re-examine the estimates of the rate ofgrowth of British industrial production between 1770 and 1840. Asa result of that research I argued that the then accepted estimatesseriously overestimated growth. This led to continuing work on theIndustrial Revolution. On one hand, I have continued to be involved(with Professor Nicholas Crafts of the London School of Economics)

in revision of growth estimates that have resulted in a generallyaccepted view that earlier estimates significantly overestimate therate of growth of the economy as a whole during the IndustrialRevolution. We have followed this research with the constructionof empirically based models of Britain’s early nineteenth centuryeconomic growth that emphasize the forces leading to structuralchange and industrialization.

The projects on aggregate growth have led me to re-examine thehistory of the cotton textile industry, the central industry of theclassical industrial revolution. Rather to my surprise, I found thatthere were quite extensive records – particularly in the form ofaccount books of firms – that had not been fully exploited byeconomic historians. This more detailed work on the cotton industryis also part of my current research agenda.

My research interests are in industrialization and growth generally.I have worked extensively in the growth of the British and Americaneconomies. I am convinced, however, that they are both specialcases – Britain because it was first to industrialize and Americabecause of its resource abundance. I have published some in widercomparative industrialization with particular emphasis on continentalEurope. I hope that here at Oxford and St Antony’s I will be able tofurther that work in both my own research and as a researchsupervisor.

At the moment much of my time is taken up with editorialresponsibilities. I am one of the two co-editors of The Journal ofEconomic History and have responsibility for all submissions to theJournal dealing with any geographic area of the world outsideEnglish speaking North America. This has brought me into contactwith a range of research areas with which I previously had onlylimited contact. The wide-ranging expertise at St Antony’s is aidingmy task in this regard.

Fay and Geoffrey Elliott’s support forRussian Studies

Geoffrey Elliott has made a contribution of $110,000 to the Russianand Eurasian Centre’s 50th anniversary campaign. This major giftprovides the Centre and its Campaign Committee (of which Geoffreyis a member) with enormous encouragement in our continuing workto raise funds to establish new Research Fellowship programmes,modernize the Russian library and financially underpin the Centre’sexpanding activities.

This gift to the campaign is the most recent instance of theexceptionally generous support which Fay and Geoffrey have givento Russian studies at the College for over a decade. An initialbenefaction from the Elliotts has made possible the award over theyears of travel and research funds to a large number of studentsworking in the area; it has also helped the Centre to bring overRussian visitors. The Fay and Geoffrey Elliott Studentships inRussian and East European Studies have made it possible for theCentre to provide full funding to outstanding students writing DPhiltheses on both historical and cultural aspects of Russian

His lectureon ‘The State of Business in Russia: the Role of Russian ‘BigMoney’ was extremely well received by a packed NissanLecture Theatre. In his talk and in full answers to a host ofwide-ranging questions, Dr Lisin gave the audience a rareinsight into the evolution and dynamics of the Russianpolitical economy. He brought to bear the perspective of aleading industrialist - with long experience of managing alarge manufacturing plants (employing over 70,000 workers)and dealing with Moscow as well as local authorities- andthat of a trained economist, with many scholarly publicationsto his name. The evening provided Antonians with anexceptionally rounded picture of the social and politicalfactors shaping Russia’s economic environment.

St Antony’s Twenty Years On - Wade GoriaTwenty years is a long time. Rip Van Winkle learned this when heawoke in 1776 following a slumber that afforded Washington Irvinga literary opportunity to contrast the colonial world in which he hadlived from the newly emerged American nation in which this tired andhenpecked New York resident now found himself. In December 1984,accompanied by my brother and some close friends, I was graduatedat the Sheldonian Theatre during a ceremony in which Derek Hopwoodpresented me before Oxford’s Vice-Chancellor. Strangely, sadly, Idid not return to Oxford for nearly twenty years. My task here is toreport in brief form some highlights and impressions of this resturnreturn to St Antony’s College.

The College population has more than doubled since 1984; as weknow, the grounds upon which tennis and squash ball courts oncestood have now been replaced by residential and academic buildings.At first, I felt discomfort as I witnessed the results of this re-configuration. Quickly, however, I gained an appreciation of the vitalrole these quite handsome improvements have made on life atSt.Antony’s. Much like the academic village it is intended to be, theCollege lawn now swirls with far more intellectual and social interactionthan was the case twenty years ago - overall a splendid developmentfor our college.

The layout of the Porters Lodge has been substantially altered,perhaps for the better. During my era - the late 1970s and early 80s- stalwart mainstays of the lodge included Colin Prettie, who I recallpossessed an astonishing ability to accurately pronounce even themost esoteric and challenging of of college member surnames. AsPorter, the usually congenial, sometimes irascible, always loquaciousMr Prettie, a former Colonel in the British Army, willingly discoursedon any subject. My mind also turns to images of another Porter, Mr.May, who always seemed to find peace of mind outside of the Lodgeon Church Walk, Woodstock Road, or Bevington Road while walkinghis dogs or to Nancy Spittle, our very dedicated switchboardoperator who for years connected an endless stream of calls in a roomsituated where photocopying is now done. The current Portersserving our college do so most congenially and professionally andas ever they remain vital to the spiritual well-being of St.Antony’s.

In my day the Buttery was synonomous with the inimitableCharles and I am convinced his spirit lingers there still.

7 JCR News

Junior Common Room NewsI’m having a strange introduction to StAntony’s, having been elected at the endof my first term here. The welcome that Ihave received has gone far beyondanything I could have expected when Iflew up from South Africa. I already feelat home here. For this, both I and mycommittee owe the last year’s JCRcommittee an enormous debt of gratitude.They have welcomed us and made our

transition to office vastly easier. Many of us are in our first year here,and it has been an immense help to have our predecessors lingeringaround to offer the advice. I do not have the words which with tothank them.

That said, we have thrown ourselves into the work of matchinglast year’s achievements with some vigour. We have organizedacademic and social events, presided over the successes of oursports teams, and begun to prepare for next term.

Starting with the academic events, I must draw your attention tothe ongoing Writing Workshops run by Meredith Carew, ElizabethAngell, and Aaron Jakes. These three students give up a substantialamount of their time in the evenings to advise their fellow Antonianson the complex and often irrational version of English used inacademic writing. Without their work, the lives of many of our fellowstudents would be far harder. Further ongoing projects includeirregular Careers Evenings and Academic Seminars, under theguidance of VP Academic Nisrine Jaafar, both of which continue.

The most prestigious of our academic events this term, however,can only have been the launch of the St Antony’s InternationalReview (STAIR). This new academic journal is the product of morethan a year’s work by a great number of our fellow students – far toogreat a number for me to list here. The work of the editors, MattEagleton-Pierce and Alex Betts, as well as that of the managing editor,Noa Schonmann, however, must be acknowledged here. They haveproduced an academically-impressive and aesthetically-polishedjournal. I hope many of you reading this will support them.

Life at St Antony’s is not all about academia, though. Some of uscontinue to stagger out of our cloisters at dawn with the braveintention of continuing to row through Hilary term. This year’s BoatClub is distinguished by the size of its membership: we currently havetwo men’s and two women’s boats on the river. The first Men’s VIIIhas, once again, won blades in Torpids – an achievement that isoccurring with such regularity that we may begin to take it forgranted. . . Meanwhile, our first Women’s VIII competed in the tough3rd Division and held their own. I expect great things from them inTrinity.

Our other sportsmen and women have also been garnering gloryfor the College. We have a large number of Blues and half-Blues inthe College this year, representing the University and us in sportsranging from cricket to basketball to ice-hockey to rowing. We alsohave one of the most consistently successful Women’s Footballteams in the University – for the second year running the Chihuahuashave won their league and will once again be moving up, this time intothe 3rd division. We’re all very proud.

But for all this talk of healthy minds and healthy bodies, I have toadmit that the most visible members of our community are probablyour three social secretaries. Without their work, we would be a farmore stressed, far grumpier, and far soberer group of people. Thanks

to their efforts, a veneer of civilisation has overlaid our drinking. TheLate Bar has hosted a series of themed events, ranging from Arabicnights to Jazz nights.

In addition to these large events, our various societies have beenactive this term. The Antonian Wine Tasting Society has organizedseveral events over the last few weeks, and continues to be immenselypopular. The Boat Club and the Journal have both organizedsuccessful events in the Late Bar. Both short-story readings andpoetry readings have been held to great effect. And, once again,karaoke threatens the Bar. . .

But all these parties are warm-up events for next term’s SummerBall. Our Ball Committee started work early this year and have alreadysecured the theme for the forthcoming function: this year, we presentthe Revolutionary Ball. We expect the masses to besiege the HildaBesse building on 4 of June, and we hope that as many of our alumnias possible will arrive to help us man the barricades. Details areonline.

Overall, we’ve had a great first term in office – and are alreadylooking forward to a successful, productive, and fun-filled remainderof the year!

JULIAN BROWN

Journal LaunchThe new St Antony’s International Review (STAIR) was officiallylaunched on 25 February. STAIR is Oxford’s first peer-reviewedacademic journal of international affairs to be run entirely by graduatestudents. Its aim is to allow a cross-disciplinary forum in whichstudents and emerging scholars can publish their work alongsideestablished academics and policy-makers. The inaugural issue is on‘The Future of International Cooperation’ and features articles by SirMarrack Goulding, Dr Kalypso Nicolaïdes and Dr Jeff Crisp. Thejournal was formally unveiled at a toast, attended by a number of theCollege’s Governing Body. At the event the Co-Editors, MatthewEagleton-Pierce and Alexander Betts, formally unveiled the journaland set-out their vision for its future. The Warden, also a contributorto the first edition, welcomed the journal into the St Antony’scommunity and endorsed its achievements so far.

Following dinner, and reflecting the theme of the first edition,there was a debate on the contemporary and controversial topic of,‘Mad, Bad or Just Big: Is The United States The Antithesis ofInternational Cooperation?’Reflecting the journal’s aim to recreatethe College ethos of open debate across disciplines, the speakersinvolved came had a wide range of expertise and many were thewinners of debating competions.

We hope this willcontinue to be a termly traditionat St Antony’s!”

Rowing - the real story

Julie Taylor (St Antony's and the University Women's LightweightCrew) tells her friends how it really is:-

“Dear Friends:The day is drawing nearer.On Saturday 26 of March, the Oxford Lightweight Women’s

Crew will meet Cambridge for the Henley Boat Race. Thecrews have undertaken 6 months of gruelling training for a 6-minute race, which will be watched by no less than 11,000spectators. I think that I’ve taken on some fairly big challengesin my life, but this has been one of the hardest, physically andmentally.

To all my friends, this is why you’ve barely seen me for halfa year! This is why I have woken up in the dark virtually everyday sinceSeptember; this is why I’ve trained 11 times a week.We have cycled 100km a week, or the equivalent of 7.5 hours,just to get to and from training.

We’ve trained in all conditions, including rain, sleet andsnow. Some mornings I’ve worn five layers of clothing to fightoff the cold and still not succeeded. We’ve slaved in the gym,pushing ourselves through the pain barrier, week after week.People have thrown up and cried. We’ve endured blisteredand infected hands. We’ve dieted, calorie-counted, andtrained hungry in order to reach race weight. We’ve also learnta huge amount about ourselves throughout the process.

All in all, each member of my crew will have committed over900 hours to this hugely demanding endeavour, whichculminates in a single race. (If I had worked a minimum-wagejob instead of rowing, I’d be nearly £5000 richer!)AND ALL THIS JUST FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT ANDENTERTAINMENT!

Hope to see LOTS of you there - and of course in theweeks to follow, when I finally get my life back!

Yours, Julie

PS Post-race donations of chocolate and cake are more thanwelcome)”

Book Now for Antonians' Weekend 2005 27-29 June. See page 6 for further details

Twenty Years On - continued from page 6source of pride among Antonians, continues to offer outstandingcuisine under the superb direction of Chef Mark Walker; hisconsistently dedicated, talented and friendly staff made me feelwelcome immediately upon my arrival. But I have not, nor can I, forgetBogdan Ryhajlo. On one occasion during the late 70s, when chattingon-line meant speaking to the person next to you while holding a trayprior to paying with yellow tickets, Bogdan, with a dextrous yetgracious wave of his hand pronounced that one of my plates of saladrepresented an “extraordinary portion” and I was chargedaccordingly. More to the essence of this sensitive and engagingman, I shall never forget those heartbreaking conversations with himabout life in the Ukraine under Soviet occupation nor can timedissolve my memories of his talents as an accomplished gardener.

My own academic matrix remains the Middle East Center. I couldnot have been happier to see it thriving under the splendid directionof Eugene Rogan. Together with a group of wonderful Fellows andstaff at the Center, Eugene keeps alive the legacy of Albert Houraniwith a unique brand of grace and dedication that would have mademy former mentor, supervisor and Center founder proud. Morningand afternoon teas at the Center helped to remind me how trulyintimate and extraordinary my academic experience had been andcontinues to be for students studying Middle East history, politicsand language at St Antony’s.

It is difficult within the confines of this short reflection to providean adequate rumination of the many changes in Oxford, both positiveand negative, wrought by the last twenty years. The impact ofglobalization upon Oxford appears to be profound and ubiquitous.Upon arrival by train, the modernization of Oxford’s once shabbyrailway station and the renovation of a formerly rundown area in thesurrounding environs represents an auspicious development for thelife of the city. As viewed from the railway station, the emergence ofthe Said Business School Tower on Park End Street emboldens aportion of Oxford’s cityscape in what was for the most part a blightedpart of the city.

What has happened to Walton Street, indeed to all of Jericho?Perhaps I was mistaken; does Little Clarendon Street now containa row of provincial French restaurants and bakeries? The extent ofgentrification of Oxford’s numerous neighborhoods astonished me.Materialism animated by wholesale privatization, as we know, hasspread throughout Britain since the late 80s and 90s; in the cruel caseof British Rail, the emergence of five separate railway companiesgave the British riding public a system devoid of accountability.Nevertheless, Oxford has taken advantage of its special role, beautyand tradition by promoting tourism on a massive scale - far more thanwas the case in my day. Americanization has brought with it thehorrors of SUVification, all at a time when the price of petrol in Britainis astronomical. As traffic to and from Oxford proliferates, a breakdownin common civility is in evidence among drivers. The emergence ofsuperstores upon British motorways and within towns exemplify theimpact of automobile culture upon the British landscape. How longwill this last? Happily, a ban on automobiles remains in force withinmuch of Oxford’s city center while well-marked bike paths providecyclists far more organization and direction than was the case in the1970s and 80s.

Unlike a good deal of Britain, twenty years after leaving it, I foundSt Antony’s College much as I first found it - a remarkably welcomingbastion of civility and scholarship. A modern day Rip - myself forexample - would find his surroundings familiar, congenial, comfortablyengaging and reassuring. May our college remain thus.

Germany - Professor Timothy Garton Ash attended a meeting ofGerman Antonians on 8 October. Scheduled in tandem with theFrankfurt Book Fair, it attracted more than a few Antonians. InProfessor Krieger's welcoming remarks he reminded everyone of theunique contribution St Antony’s made to revival of German academiasince the 1950s, particularly to regional or area studies such asArabic, Asian, African and Russian studies. The subject of ProfessorGarton Ash’s book - the future of transatlantic relations - was of keeninterest to everyone around the table. Most of us believe that thoserelations are in very big trouble and that it will take years to bring themback to their previous much friendlier levels. Whether Germany willbe able to play a particularly important role in this, one way or another,is, unfortunately, a matter of speculation.

A lunch is being planned shortly to discuss future activities forthis group.

Egypt - there was a a meeting of Antonians in Cairo on 9 March at theAmerican University. A report will appear in the next issue.
