Reports and College Activities QUEEN’S COLLEGE SYMPOSIUM President Tristan Johnston-Wood The 2021-22 academic year brought another fantastic round of research talks and discussions at the Queen’s College Symposium (QCS). QCS is a twice-termly event when members from the MCR and SCR give talks on their research or discuss a topic in a panel discussion. After the event, a buffet dinner is held in the SCR where audience members and speakers alike can continue the interesting intellectual discussion. This year, we started with research talks from two new SCR fellows: Dr Finaritra Raoelijaona (Browne Junior Research Fellow in Biochemistry) and Dr Meleisa Ono- George (Brittenden Fellow in History). This was followed by a panel discussion on ‘How do we determine whether our net impact is positive or negative?’. In Hilary term, we heard from Samuel Teague (DPhil Music) and Professor Richard Parkinson (Professor of Egyptology). The final two speakers of Hilary term saw Hector Papoulias talk about Gauge Theory and Dr Paul Docherty speak on Digital Archaeology. To finish off the year, we hosted the Centre for Manuscript and Text Cultures seminars, where Dr Selena Wisnom and Alberto Corrado spoke on Mesopotamia and Oenoanda. The final QCS event of the year, and of my position as QCS organiser, involved a panel discussion on ‘Does language restrict our ability to understand and communicate reality?’, seeing our best attendance numbers to date and excellent debate during the event. I very much look forward to next year’s QCS events, hosted by Seb Wilkes. RUGBY CLUB Captain Max Higdon With the disruption of the pandemic resulting in no rugby being played the previous season and multiple stalwarts leaving over the past two years, the season began with much uncertainty. However, a strong Fresher intake bolstered the squad, and Michaelmas began with a close loss in a friendly to Lincoln. The first round of Cuppers was up next and despite dominating for large parts of the game, Queen’s suffered a narrow 12-0 defeat to Oriel. We were left without fixtures for much of the remainder of the term with a high-scoring 45-34 defeat to Brasenose the only other match. Hilary began with the first win of the season against a strong Worcester side. The rest of the term saw significant disruption as multiple winnable games were cancelled, while we struggled with numbers in close defeats to Brasenose and Oriel, and a rather more convincing defeat to Balliol. Trinity began with the Cuppers bowl semi-final against Jesus, a team littered with a number of blues and who would go on to lift the trophy. Queen’s put in a tremendous 68 The Queen’s College | College Record 2022
performance, eventually falling 22-17 after failing to overcome an early 14-0 deficit. In particular Louis Simms was superb at 10, Fred Newbold scored a brilliant individual try and rugby newcomer Saul Briscoe put in a man of the match performance in the centres. Queen’s then put in positive performances in Mixed touch and 7s Cuppers, finishing second in our group in both tournaments before bowing out in the Cup quarters and Plate semis respectively. All in all, while the team didn’t quite live up to their potential on the pitch, with a large number of closely fought games lost, the season was immensely enjoyable. Consistently excellent performances were put in by freshers Louis Simms, Dan Kelly, Tony Cowen and Will Davis, alongside older hands such as Levi Fraser, Jack Wilson, Henry Portwood and Louis Makower. The social side also got back up and running after COVID-19 disruption under enthusiastic social secs James Hawke and Harry Turner, with their successors Fraser and Portwood looking set to continue this. This is the end of my stint with QCRFC, and it has been a pleasure to captain and play for this club and I have enjoyed it immensely, it gives me great reassurance that the club is set to continue in the same friendly and welcoming spirit under the very capable hands of incoming captain Louis Simms and vice-captain Tony Cowen.
