The President’s Letter Every year I have an individual meeting with as many as possible of our 600 or so Wolfson students, from the new arrivals to the just-viva’d DPhils, and hear their views of the College. I’m always encouraged by their enthusiasm for Wolfson and their keen sense of the value and character of the College. One of them, a new student from abroad, told me this year that he’d been anxious about settling in, but was reassured by finding that at Wolfson, as he put it, ‘everyone speaks globe-ish’. And this year we have had more international and interdisciplinary activities than ever in our global community. We have had our sad losses. We mourn the passing on 23 October 2013 of that great English sculptor, our Honorary Fellow Anthony Caro, whose welded steel ‘Double Half ’ on the landing of the Marble Hall I pass every day, but can never take for granted. We were saddened by the death on 30 April 2014 of our first Bursar and first and only Vice-President, the historian Michael Brock, who worked alongside Isaiah Berlin from 1967 to 1976 to make the College what it is today. Michael’s latest publication, which he was working on in his last months at the age of ninety-four, the Great War diary of Margot Asquith, was published in the early summer of 2014 by Oxford University Press. I take this as an ideal model for an academic life, to be working up to the very end. This year’s Berlin lecture, on the Berlinian subject of ‘Pluralism and Human Rights’, admirably delivered by Baroness Onora O’Neill, was dedicated to Michael Brock. We have said goodbye to, and welcomed as Emeritus Fellows, Dan Isaacson and Andrew Neil. We were sorry, also, to say goodbye to Theo Redvers-Harris in the Administrative Office, to Alex Guerrerio in Development, and to Rosalind Clark after twenty years in the kitchen. But we have new arrivals and achievements to celebrate too. A new Wolfson baby has arrived, Marieke, offspring of Bob and Selma Coeke. The first Wolfson nuptials of my time here took place this month, between Feliciano Giustino and Despoina Mavridou, whom we heartily congratulate. We ring out the bells too for our new arrivals and newly honoured members. As Governing Body fellows we have welcomed Tarje Nissen-Meyer, UL in Geophysics, Paul Jarvis, Professor Plant Cell Biology, and our splendid new Senior Tutor, Gillian Hamnett. Our new Supernumerary Fellows are Dr Paul Collins, Assistant Keeper for the Near East 19
