The President’s Letter SIR TIM HITCHENS May I begin this annual letter to Wolfsonians around the world with thanks to you all, who make up the global Wolfson community. interviewed for the position by Isaiah Berlin himself. It brought the past very firmly to the present. ‘The joke runs that you can tell the retired Ambassador because he or she gets into the back of the car and it doesn’t drive off.’ When I last wrote I was a recently retired ambassador. The joke runs that you can tell the retired ambassador because he or she gets into the back of the car and it doesn’t drive off. I’m pleased to say that I now feel very much a part of the Wolfson furniture after over a year in place, and it is my trusty bike which serves me well to get to Broad Street for Conference of Colleges Meetings, to the Thames for the racing, or to the Warneford Site or the Old Road Campus if I need the exercise. This academic year was the fiftieth anniversary of our first Graduate Students arriving at Wolfson College, in October 1968.

I should pay tribute to Jyoti Raghu, studying for her DPhil in Theology, and one of the college’s Welfare Officers, who died tragically last summer. Other deaths include Professor Michael Metcalf, Professorial Governing Body Fellow from 1982–98; Dr John Mulvey, Governing Body Fellow from 1965 to 1984, and Maureen Marchant, College Staff from 1977 to 2002, who some of you will remember became the House Manager. We have said thank you and farewell to Bill Conner as our long-serving Development Director, ably replaced by Huw David. A number of Governing Body Fellows are leaving us: we say farewell to Gillies McKenna, Jim Benson, Lucy Cluver, Ros Rickaby and Feliciano Giustino; the first two retiring from their departments after decades of service, the other three moving on to exciting new academic projects either here in Oxford or overseas. We welcomed Matthew Rushworth and Linda Mulcahy. And we will be welcoming two new Governing Body Fellows in Michaelmas Term: Loren Landau joins us from South Africa as a INTRODUCTION WOLFSON.OX.AC.UK 7
