From the Provost<br />

Very sadly we also said goodbye to SCR Butler Robert Saberton-Haynes who<br />

passed away. Robert was at Queen’s for 21 years and many Old Members will<br />

particularly recall his understated care and attention at High Table and <strong>College</strong><br />

Gaudies. His funeral was held in the <strong>College</strong> Chapel.<br />

Finally, I would like to pay brief tribute to my predecessor but one, Sir Alan Budd,<br />

whose memorial service was held in the chapel at the start of Trinity Term. Sir Alan’s<br />

eminence as an economist was demonstrated by the fact that both the current and<br />

past Governors of the Bank of England attended. One of his many legacies to the<br />

<strong>College</strong> was, of course, the way in which he was the first Provost significantly to<br />

reach out to Old Members and to begin systematically to build the relationships that<br />

have meant so much to the <strong>College</strong> since, and which have enabled us to do so much<br />

more for students and Fellows than we otherwise could.<br />
