Introduction
There is no room for despondency at an academic
institution like Pembroke in an economic downturn.
It is our task to nurture, in an uninterrupted and undaunted way,
future leaders in many walks of life and to provide an environment
which stimulates great minds to break new ground with their
research. So Pembroke conducted its business as usual
throughout 2008/9, indeed with great aplomb in a number of
areas. Our staff and Fellows also worked hard to invest wisely,
keep costs low, raise more philanthropic funds and maintain
the quality and improve the experience of living and studying
in Oxford for our students.
Once again, our students won a decent number of First Class Honours degrees across many
subjects, while the number of 2.2s declined. Although that was not enough to affect our
position greatly in the league tables, our Fellows distinguished themselves as ever, while we
welcomed five new arrivals to the Fellowship.
On the financial front, our results were pleasing in spite of the hit taken by our endowment
in some of the worst stock market conditions since the war. Our conference business held up
well despite the downturn while fund-raising made solid advances, both in terms of smaller
regular gifts and in terms of a gratifying level of first-stage capital donations to our new building
project. It is with great pleasure that I note the growth in the number of Pembrokians making
gifts to the College in 2008/9, and to record that we are now above the average figure attained
by Oxford colleges for such participation and giving. And yet satisfaction cannot turn into
complacency since, as our Development Director notes, there is plenty of headroom for
further gains.
Having obtained all planning consents during the year, we are on course to construct our new
building, subject to obtaining the additional funding we need. We shall enter into agreements
with contractors during the course of 2010, the year when we are already committed to carry
out and complete our major Hall and kitchen refurbishment project. The signs that we shall
receive the support needed from our alumni and friends for this huge undertaking are
encouraging.
Pembroke is in good shape to undertake these forward-looking projects, in spite of a climate
which might have given others pause for thought, and to carry on its work of education and
research with increasing success. We need to retain and grow our ability to withstand external
shocks as we press on with our key investments in the face of new strictures on government
funding and threats to Oxford’s tutorial system. That the College has attained such a sound
position today is due in no small part to the continuing goodwill and increasing generosity of
our alumni and other benefactors to whom I extend my warmest gratitude.

scholarships or exhibitions on course at the moment; one
of our engineers won the Institute of Civil Engineers Prize
for the best performance in Oxford; one of our experimental
psychologists won two University prizes as a result of her
performance in Finals; another finalist earned an award for
outstanding performance in Islamic studies. A number of
our Oriental Language specialists who did not achieve firsts
won distinctions and prizes for both their command of
Middle Eastern languages or Arabic literature. Around 25%
of taught post-graduate students also achieved distinction
at the end of their courses, while the number, as well as
spread across subjects, of Firsts and Distinctions in First
Public Examinations this year was highly gratifying and a
promise of great things to come.

The academic year in perspective at Pembroke
Undergraduate Finals Results 2008/09
2008/9 saw a continuation of last year’s highly
respectable academic performance.
There was no movement of note in the Norrington League
table that aggregates finals results across Colleges. Overall
our students gained one more First than last year, making
the total 25, and raising the percentage of Firsts for the
year compared with 2007/8. Meanwhile the number of
2.2s declined by almost half compared to half last year’s
total with relatively more students gaining 2.1s. This year,
Pembroke’s top scores were well distributed across
subjects with particularly distinguished performances in
History, History and Politics and Music in the arts and
Biology, Chemistry, Experimental Psychology and
Mathematics in the sciences. As the College Record will
show in detail when it is published, Pembroke students
also shone academically this year in ways that the league
tables do not capture: we have 69 students with

John Eekelaar - Academic Director
Oxford University Institutional Audit
The auditors advise the University to
• ensure that it has effective means to ensure oversight
of equity of practice across colleges, especially where
this affects student progression
• ensure that it is able to know that both University
and colleges have suitable complaints and appeals
procedures for students
So it is expected that the University should “ensure” “equity
of practice” across colleges. That seems to suppose that
the University has to keep the colleges in line with one
another, and the only way to do that is for the University to
establish what that line should be. The same observation
applies with respect to the second advisory
recommendation.
At first sight, it seems that the auditors fundamentally
misunderstood the federal nature of the “collegiate”
University. This seems to be confirmed by one of the three
“desirable” recommendations, namely, that the University
should “find ways of ensuring that public information
regarding college provision is clear and accurate in order to
allow students to make an informed choice at admission.”
Does this mean that all college publicity is to be submitted
for prior scrutiny by a university official? And how would
that official know whether the information about the College
is accurate?
and yet ...and yet
Let us return to the “advisory” recommendations. Colleges
receive the same fees (whether from students or
government) for the students they teach. Applicants cannot
make detailed investigations of the way each college
teaches its courses, and many do not end up in the college
to which they applied anyway. Surely some should not get
a better (or worse) deal than others. Shouldn’t there be
“equity of practice” regarding “student progression” (jargon
for “seeing students through their course”), and indeed
complaints and disciplinary processes too?
In fact, colleges (as well as students) are well aware of this.
Part of the remit of the committee of Senior Tutors is to
“seek to ensure that academic and academic-related
provision and procedures concerning undergraduates are
broadly comparable across colleges.”
In the regulated world we live in, these five-yearly audits
assume almost frightening significance, and any
qualification in the verdict would be seen as significantly
damaging to the University. So the key University
administrators prepared for the visit with a thoroughness
that would have done them credit had they been
planning D-Day.
It all paid off. The auditors concluded that “confidence
can reasonably be placed in the soundness of the
institution’s present and likely future management of
the academic standards of the awards that it offers”
and that “confidence can reasonably be placed in the
soundness of the institution’s present and likely future
management of the quality of the learning opportunities
available to students”.
Phew! If that sounds less than dazzling, it is in fact
the highest endorsement achievable. The full report
can be read on the QAA website: www.qaa.ac.uk/
Yet the process did throw up an endemic issue, which
is partly a real problem within Oxford, but even more
of a problem in getting across to outsiders how Oxford
works.
The Advisory Recommendations
One feature of QAA reports is a listing of “advisory”
recommendations (which are to be taken particularly
seriously, and will be expected to be addressed by the
time of the next audit) and “desirable” recommendations
(slightly less weighty). Two of the three “advisory”
recommendations concerned the relationship between
the University and the colleges, and indeed, college
practice itself. Here they are:
One of the major events of
my final year at Pembroke
was engagement, as Chair
of the Senior Tutors’
Committee, with the 2009
audit of the University by
the Quality Assurance
Agency for Higher
Education (QAA).

The 2008/09 Academic Year
Oxford University Institutional Audit
The King’s Academy, Jordan, Summer Programme Pembroke delivering Oxford quality for others.
by John Eekelaar, Director Summer Programmes 2009
Last July saw the beginning of an exciting new initiative
whereby, for the first time, Pembroke Fellows and Tutors
have been involved in running a four-week Summer School
for students who have completed their penultimate year at
the King’s Academy in Jordan. The King’s Academy was
set up by King Abdullah II, an alumnus of Pembroke, to
provide first class education to students in Jordan and
elsewhere in the region. It follows the US high school model
and its standards are equivalent to the best US schools.
Seventeen students, accompanied by two teachers,
arrived on July 6th and took up residence in the Geoffrey
Arthur Building. There were nine boys and eight girls.
Before they arrived they chose to follow one of three
courses in Applied Economics, History or Biological
Science. They were taught study skills, had lectures,
tutorials, research talks, mentoring sessions and time for
private study. The students were set essays to write
and projects to complete. One Pembroke student was
assigned to each course to act as a Teaching Assistant
and general mentor and friend. It was not all work and no
play. They went on tours to London (where they saw a
part of a debate in the House of Commons), Stonehenge,
Blenheim, the Cotswolds, Warwick Castle and Stratford.
The course ended with a Farewell Dinner in College.
The students and teachers made a very favourable
impression on all who met them, and it seems that the
students greatly enjoyed the experience.
My experience at Oxford has been enriching and
inspiring. I learned a lot about Oxford and the UK.
Ahmad Tarawneh
As teaching provision for graduates is the responsibility of
the University, not colleges, the remit of the committee of
Tutors for Graduates is slightly differently drawn, seeking
to encourage good practice, and disseminate information,
among colleges regarding graduate matters.
The wording of the Senior Tutors’ Committee remit
recognises that one of Oxford’s strengths lies in the
richness of diversity between colleges, but at the same
time that the academic experience should not differ
significantly between undergraduates. The Committee has
therefore got all colleges to sign up to an agreed
framework for academic “disciplinary” processes, though
of course it cannot guarantee they will be applied in exactly
the same way in all colleges; but then not every judge or
jury acts in exactly the same way.
Colleges also have to report their degree of compliance to
a whole range of guidelines on good practice regarding
monitoring of student progress and teaching quality to a
joint “Quality Assurance Group” of Senior Tutors and Tutors
for Graduates, which includes the senior “University” officer
in charge of academic policy and provision. The group
reports not only to the Senior Tutors’ and Graduates’
Committees, but also to the University’s Education
Committee.

So, in this way, the University already does (at least try to)
“ensure that it has effective means to ensure oversight of
equity of practice across colleges”. But it does so in
collaboration with the colleges. The auditors knew this,
but still seemed to think it was not enough.
So should the University be even more involved in
what colleges do? Yes!
The Quality Assurance Group deals mostly with
procedures. It does not deal with the amount of teaching
students receive in different subjects. It is therefore
possible (though probably not frequent) that students in
some colleges receive significantly more or significantly
fewer tutorials than those in others who are doing the
same course. How can that be right?
University bodies (faculties or departments) set the content
of all courses. The only way to minimize this “inequity” is for
those bodies to specify the amount of college teaching that
should normally (special cases excepted) be provided for
their courses, and for colleges to certify that they are
following those specifications. These “norms” for college
teaching would be added to the teaching provided by the
faculty or department itself, establishing a clear teaching
programme for all students following the course. They
already exist in some subjects, but not in others. But there
is a crucial qualification. College teaching, remember, is
paid for by colleges. Colleges cannot simply cede to the
University the power to determine how much, or how little,
should be provided. So any such norms have to be agreed
between the university bodies and the colleges. This is
quite a complicated process, but it has been happening,
though could occur more often. Joint decision-making
again.
It seems that the auditors identified real issues which
demand attention, but may have failed to appreciate the
truly collaborative nature of a collegiate university.

The 2008/09 Academic Year
Acclaimed Pembroke Research
At Pembroke College we are successful in attracting and retaining the highest quality
academic staff. Our Fellows are involved in an extremely diverse range of research
topics.
Christopher Melchert
For a conference in London, Dr Melchert recently prepared a study of hadith (essentially
reports of Muhammad’s word and deed) declaring that God created Adam in his image.
They fall into two groups, the first of which begins with ‘God created Adam in his image’,
then describes his giant stature (60 cubits) and how he learnt the characteristic Islamic
salutation, al-salamu ‘alaykum. This recalls Gen. 1:27a: ‘So God created man in his own
image.’ The other group forbids Muslims, when they fight, to strike the other’s face, ‘for
God created Adam in his image’. This recalls Gen. 9:6: ‘Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by
man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.’ To attack a person is
tantamount to attacking God. Both versions caused consternation among ninth-century
anti-anthropomorphists, who alternately proposed to interpret ‘in his image’ as ‘in Adam’s
image’ and transmitted versions of both hadith reports without the offending expression.
Traditionalists sometimes retaliated by transmitting a version saying ‘God created Adam in
the image of the Most Merciful’, using one of the names of God to avoid all ambiguity. The
anti-anthropomorphists generally carried the day, so that the qur’anic commentary tradition
omits to discuss the question, but a few hold-outs transmitted the older version into the
eleventh century.
Stephen Tuck
Stephen Tuck’s first major ‘popular’ history book has just been published by Belknap Press:
We Ain’t What We Ought To Be: the black freedom struggle from emancipation to Obama.
It is the product of half a dozen years’ research, from archives across the United States to
interviews with many former participants – including the former head of the Klan and the
late Coretta Scott King. Stephen challenges the well-known story of the 1960s civil rights
movement by showing the diversity of protest (from popular culture to high politics), the
length of protest (from the first years of freedom to President Obama’s inauguration), and
the breadth of protest (across the whole nation and beyond, with plenty of links to Britain).
Stephen grapples with some of the big questions in history and current affairs, such as
‘when do social movements prosper’, and just ‘what did Obama’s victory mean for American
race relations’? But because it is a popular history, Stephen has enjoyed answering such
questions by writing about graphic human dramas – from a slave girl stealing, and wearing,
her mistress’ lipstick during the civil war, to a Louisiana grandmother in the 1990s flying to
Tokyo to beg multinational executives to stop dumping toxic waste near her hometown
(they did). And he has greatly appreciated the hard work of internet-savvy Pembroke history
students who have put together a wonderful website full of audiovisual clips of characters
and events in the story (weaintwhatweoughttobe.com).

Eammon Molloy
Eamonn Molloy is currently investigating why large-scale projects routinely cost more, take
longer to complete and deliver fewer benefits than expected. This situation leads to a
pareto-inefficient allocation of resources, generates a cycle of further delays, cost overruns
and benefit shortfalls and destabilizes the policy-making and economic environments in
which the projects occur. To date, explanations for this optimism bias have focussed on
technical and psychological issues but these fail to account for why we don’t learn from
previous mistakes. In an article in preparation for the International Handbook of Corruption,
Dr Molloy and his co-author Professor Flyvbjerg argue that political-economic explanations
such as strategic misrepresentation of ex-ante costs and benefits, deception and corruption
better explain our continued failure to deliver on major project investments. The article
argues that the application of reference class forecasting techniques and the design of
new governance structures are needed to ensure more effective public scrutiny of decision-
making on major projects, and that this will lead to improved outcomes.
Gabriel Uzquiano Cruz
Gabriel Uzquiano has been working on the interface between philosophical logic and
metaphysics. One of his articles he completed this year, ‘Mereological harmony’, explores
the interaction between parthood and location. Two more articles are specifically concerned
with the infinite. ‘How many angels can dance on the point of a needle?’ (with John
Hawthorne) highlights a tension between the orthodox approach to infinite size and certain
approaches to modality. ‘Before-Effect without Zeno Causation’ confronts a new variation
of one of Zeno’s paradoxes. Another paper, ‘How to solve the hardest puzzle ever in two
questions’, improves on the standard three-question solution to a problem originally
discussed by George Boolos. This year he was an invited speaker at the annual meeting
of the Pacific division of the American Philosophical Association in Vancouver and gave
research presentations at MIT, Paris, Manchester, Geneva, St Andrews and Bristol.
Andrew Teal
In 1983, when Andrew Teal, Chaplain was an undergraduate, he used to look after the
disabled son of his then tutor, Dr Frances Young. She produced what was to become the
major finalist undergraduate and taught Masters’ textbook From Nicaea to Chalcedon.
After becoming Edward Cadbury Professor of Theology at Birmingham, and later pro-Vice
Chancellor, she supervised his Doctoral work. That friendship and interest in Patristic
Research has not ceased, and after two years’ working together, the original book is now
published afresh in a new and completely revised edition, twenty seven years on for a new
generation, by SCM in the UK and Baker Academic in the US. Andrew is delighted to have
played a part in the revision and renewal of such a major work, not least because it is a tiny
token of thanks for the inspiring scholarship, teaching and support Frances Young has given
to students over many years. Perhaps, in another quarter century, a student from Pembroke
can take on the baton and renew it again.

I undertook tasks such as organising the JCR dinners and
this year witnessed the novelty addition of a traditional
Scottish Burn’s Supper. Being a part of the JCR Art Fund
Committee has been and continues to be a thoroughly
enjoyable experience. In addition to awarding travel and
hardship grants there have been increasing opportunities
to expand my knowledge of art through various events
such as a visit by Angela Palmer, who recently transformed
Trafalgar Square into a “Ghost Forest”.
As a part of Pembroke’s sporting scene I have seen various
ups and downs over the past year, but there have been
various constants – team enthusiasm, inclusivity of all
abilities, and great socials. Following a very successful
football season year as a fresher it was always going to be
hard to emulate the achievements of the past.
Nonetheless, the fact that Pembroke still manages to field
three teams shows the commitment to PCFC. Playing for
both of Pembroke’s cricket teams has allowed me to enjoy
the slightly serious demeanour of the 1sts and the “cider in
hand” attitude of the 2nds. In the summer I also picked up
a hockey stick for the first time in almost three years for
mixed cuppers. The year has also proven fruitful for
travelling with Pembrokians. The Pembroke Ski Trip saw
an Easter visit to Flaine, France, where I eagerly and
unsuccessfully attempted to conquer the slopes – the trip
has spurred me to try again during the Varsity ski trip in the
Christmas holidays. Upon my return from France I then left
for Morocco with two other Pembrokians. The mode of
transport: hitch-hiking. 26 vehicles and two ferry trips later
we arrived in Tangiers, thereby successfully completing our
sponsored trip for Link Community Development. My time
at Pembroke has provided many opportunities and much
fun. Ultimately, Pembroke is not just for 3 years, it is for life.

The 2008/09 Academic Year
A Year In The Life Of Pembroke Students
Jennifer Crane
Pembroke and the Brooke House college in Hackney
collaborate in the wittily named Pem-brooke scheme. This
is an innovative experiment in letting younger students
experience a year in the life of an Oxford student. The main
task is debunking the Oxford stereotypes – obviously there
are no obnoxiously posh people in gold-plated ball gowns
mocking the rest of us atop horseback. Everyone is
actually delightful. And cycling seems the preferred method
of travel.
Unfortunately, perhaps, neither is PPE ‘actually PPEeeeasy,
all about schmoozing and networking’. It’s actually pretty
hard, as well as being the most interesting and exciting
thing I’ve ever studied. Despite this, I’ve learnt that life at
Pembroke can always still surprise you. Running with the
Pembroke mascot - the Pink Panther - alongside the
Pembroke boats at Summer Eights was a highlight.
Wandering around various colleges with one hundred other
Pembrokians singing carols at Christmas was also fun. I’ve
heard an eclectic mix of speakers at the Oxford Union –
from Charles Bean to the intellectual force that is Shakira.
Finally, from my wise and inspiring tutors, I’ve learnt never
to end a piece of writing with a predictable and obvious
conclusion. So I won’t close by claiming that I’ve learnt
more about myself. More importantly, I’ve learnt never to
serenade the porters with power ballads – they still hum
‘Total Eclipse of the Heart’ as I walk past. . .
Jigar Patel
I’ve learnt a lot of things over
my year at Pembroke. Taking
part in access and outreach
work has shown me the
difference one conversation
with a younger student can
have in changing their
perception of Oxford entirely,
and hopefully raising their
aspirations somewhat.
The concept of having a life
outside the McGowin library
for a Pembroke law student
may seem remote and
implausible. However, this is
not the case. In my second
year I was Vice-President of
the JCR.

Ellie Decamp
Most of us live in private accommodation, we don’t attend
hall as regularly as the undergrads, and our involvement in
college societies and teams seems limited. Our reputation
is that we rarely stray from our Faculties or from the
Bodleian. For some, indeed, college life scarcely features.
However, at Pembroke we ensure that college remains a
focal point in post-grads’ university careers.
I joined the College last year and was immediately
welcomed into a friendly and lively Middle Common Room.
I was able to meet and engage with students from all
disciplines and nationalities, and to celebrate diversity in
the student body. The committee ensured that we had a
packed Freshers’ week and every opportunity throughout
term to enjoy each other’s company. Now, as Secretary, I
help organise events with the other members committed to
fostering the strong social and intellectual base that MCRs
can certainly provide. Moreover, I now have ample
opportunity to interact with Pembroke staff and fellows.
My particular interest is drama and I have made theatre
trips a termly event with MCR expeditions to London,
Stratford and the Oxford Playhouse over the last year. But
our activities are varied: we have exchange dinners, wine
and cheese evenings, soirees, bops, poker nights, recitals,
guest lectures, rambles with the Master and Mrs Henderson,
bar nights, and film nights. Of especial note are our
Banquets at which we gather with alumni and members of
staff from College to enjoy a feast in Hall, and our mini-
symposia when a number of post-grads present their
research.
I am delighted to be part of the Pembroke community. The
MCR continues to grow in numbers and we look forward to
planning for the years ahead.
William Cooke
I am a second year DPhil
Candidate in English
Literature, Secretary on the
Pembroke MCR Committee
and Senior Browning
Scholar. It’s not always
obvious what the post-grads
of a mixed Oxford College
are up to.
Generations of Pembroke
Medics forewarn that the
first two terms of second
year were some of the
most difficult sixteen weeks
of their training.
The intensive lecture timetables and lab classes leave
sparing windows to read for, write (and sometimes think
about!) tutorial work. For me this marked a challenging but
fascinating part of the course: whilst the factual load was
heavy, the great enthusiasm of tutors and lecturers for their
subjects was contagious. A series of clinical lectures also
helped remind us why we needed to learn it all! Needless
to say, this didn’t mean the Pembroke community watched
us cripple under the weight. Sympathetic housemates,
trips to Len’s, JCR events, welfare teas, and a weekly dose
of Chapel choir helped maintain sanity and make the
experience all the more enjoyable!
And the sweetener to the deal was a much lighter Trinity
term: a chance to fully embrace college life again. Besides
the punting, I enjoyed joining a hilarious production of Alice
in Wonderland in arts week, skilfully written and directed by
Martin Dowdall a second year Russian student. Choir
practices and services continued, culminating in a very
successful tour to Italy in ninth week.
I took part in the new ‘Take an undergraduate to lunch
scheme’, gaining a helpful insight into the career ahead of
me from a kind Pembroke alumnus. I was also lucky
enough to go on the annual Technos exchange to Japan,
experiencing an incredible fortnight of real Japanese life
with students from around the world. So from the regular
twists and turns of a year at Pembroke to the unusual
opportunities the college offers, I am hugely grateful for a
fantastic second year.

Planning the new; Cherishing the old
We have now gone out to tender with four contractors, all
of whom have good experience of managing such projects
and the final choice will be made in February 2010. Work is
scheduled to start in early March and will complete in
December 2010.
As the existing Kitchen/Hall building will not be available,
a temporary facility will be installed in the College’s North
Quad for the whole of 2010.
New building
The plans which we outlined in last year’s Annual Report
have not changed much and we believe this is a reflection
on the detailed nature of our feasibility study and earlier
planning work. One change is that the number of new
en-suite bedrooms we can provide has now increased
from 90 to 99. The Scheme will now also provide for an
Art Gallery.
Our work over the last year has focussed on obtaining the
necessary planning consents and working up the plans to
the required level of detail before going out to tender.
After much consultation with English Heritage and the
Oxford City Council Planning Department, our planning
application was heard and approved by the relevant Oxford
City Council committees in May 2009, since when we have
been addressing a number of planning conditions and legal
Over the last year, we have made very good progress
with our plans both to refurbish the Kitchen/Hall
building and for the College’s expansion on to the
Brewer Street site.
Refurbishment of the Kitchen/Hall building
At the start of the year, the College’s Governing Body
decided that the refurbishment of the Kitchen/Hall building
should be undertaken before starting work on the main
Brewer Street Scheme. This is now going ahead.
The detailed planning was undertaken in full consultation
with students and college staff as well as our professional
advisers. As well as undertaking a complete refurbishment
we have also taken the opportunity to upgrade some of our
facilities to include a new kitchen, servery, bar, underfloor
heating in the hall, a lift, new toilets and an upgrade of the
Forte room.
As the Kitchen/Hall building is Grade 2 listed, we have
worked closely with the Oxford City Council Conservation
Officer and Planning Department in developing these plans
and we have received the necessary consents to proceed.
At the time of writing (December 2009), we are currently in
the process of constructing an electrical sub-station on the
triangle car park site outside the College walls and this will
provide the necessary power for both the extended
Kitchen/Hall facilities and, critically, for the new building.

formalities. It is pleasing to note that we have now received
the necessary agreement in principle from the Oxford
County Council Highways Department with regard to the
design of the footbridge which will link the Brewer Street
site to the main College site.
The detailed design work has involved a great many
workshops and full consultation with Fellows, staff and
students, working with our professional advisers. The next
step is to prepare the documentation necessary for the
tender process and, subject to the fundraising going well,
we currently plan to go out to tender in May 2010.
Construction work, preceded by demolition and an
archaeological study will then start in October 2010 and is
projected to complete in time for the facilities to be
available at the start of the 2012/13 academic year.
Costs and Funding
The overall cost of both projects has increased slightly from
the figure reported in last year’s Annual Report principally
due to better information resulting from the detailed design
work and the addition of a few more facilities. The total
cost is currently estimated to be £29.5 million.
The College has arranged a line of credit on very favourable
terms and this can be used both to fund the expenditure
during the construction phase and beyond over a thirty
year period, when it will be serviced by net income
generated from the new facilities. However, the College
needs to raise donated money to complete the funding
and Andrew Seton speaks about this in his article.
It has been a very successful year for us in progressing
these far reaching plans. We are delighted that work on the
Kitchen/Hall refurbishment is about to start and hope to be
in the same position for the main Brewer Street Scheme
when we report next year. The new Auditorium

Planning the new; Cherishing the old
Continuing to improve our appearance and business
Samuel Johnson Building
Samuel Johnson Building Naming Ceremony
Whilst we plan for the future, the existing estate has
not been neglected. As well as routine maintenance
and a face-lift to the paintwork around and between
the quads there have been some noteworthy
improvements and enhancements on the main
College site.
Staircase 17 has had its portico restored; it is once again
supported on elegant pillars rather than functional, but
less-attractive, ‘acro props’!
As a way to mark a generous donation from Revan and
Elsa Tranter the walled garden outside Staircase 18 (the
former 13-14 Pembroke St) has been substantially
refurbished, with new borders created and planted,
existing shrubbery reduced in height to reveal new and
exciting vistas into and out of College, and the pergola
repaired and denuded of the tree that was strangling the
grape-vine. The result is a much more pleasant, open and
airy place to sit and enjoy both the garden itself and the
buildings around. New seating is planned, to complete
the transformation and the area will be known as the
‘Revan and Elsa Tranter Garden’.
Other areas newly named are the Samuel Johnson building
(formerly Staircase 8) and its principal public room, the
Mary Hyde Eccles Room (formerly Lecture Room 8). The
naming ceremony took place during a major academic
Conference held in College to celebrate the Tercentenary
of Johnson’s birth. In addition the building comprising the
Fellows’ Staircase, Staircases 9 and 10, which has been
renamed in honour of former Master, Robert Stevens –
marked with an attractive new stone plaque.

Antonio Aguilar
Dennis Green (54 years working as part of the maintenance
team) and Antonio Aguilar (48 years as Fellows’ Butler)
have now been immortalised in stone and peer down
protectively on those crossing Library Quad.
Of course, we like to invest in our loyal and hardworking
staff in ways other than turning them to stone! Over the
course of the year no fewer than fifteen of our scouts
qualified at level 2 in National Vocational Qualifications
through the Government’s ‘Train to Gain’ scheme, while
Hall Supervisor, Chris Long, gained an Intermediate level
qualification in wine from the Wine and Spirits Education
Trust, and catering assistant Victor Martinez passed the
Foundation level.
Despite the challenges of economic downturn, the
conference business remained steady, and again
contributed over £800k of income. Next year, with the
Hall out of action and all catering in a temporary facility in
North Quad we have to assume something of a downturn
but we are working hard to find as much business as the
temporary facilities will allow, while seeking to nurture our
current client-base to ensure that as many of our regular
visitors as possible will return to us once the disruption
is over.
This summer marked the 25th year of our association with
our most important conference client, the Oxford Tradition
Summer School. The occasion was marked by a special
High Table dinner for the programme’s founder, Professor
Jim Basker, and senior faculty members; Jim was also
elected to membership of the SCR.
So, the domestic side of the College is in good heart,
relishes the steady improvement in the fabric and
continued investment in the people, and stands ready
for the challenges of the kitchen and hall refurbishment
project and the significant enhancements that will result.
Dennis Green
The rolling plan to repair and refurbish the stone work of
old quad continued this summer with essential work on the
library quad face of Staircase 3 and the chimneys above.
In the course of this work it became apparent that two
of the now indistinguishable gargoyles would need to be
replaced entirely. This provided an opportunity to mark the
quite exceptional service of two of the College’s longest
standing employees.

The Financial Year
Financial Performance of the College; underpinning our new building
In 2008/2009 the College once again achieved a
surplus, continuing the positive trend seen in recent
years. Income increased by 8% with yet again a
noticeable increase of donations via the Annual
Fund. Expenditure grew by 9%, due to planned new
academic appointments and also the impact of the
national academic pay settlement. The overall surplus
was £255,000 down £37,000 from the previous year.
The College’s balance sheet at the year end remained
very strong, although total net assets declined by 4% to
£44.9m as the operating surplus and capital donations
compensated for a decrease in the value of investments
in the context of the recent market downturn.
Endowment investments declined by £3.5 million to
£32.5m resulting in a negative total return of (9)%.
(It should be noted that over the 7 year period to
31/7/09 the average total return was 5.6%.)
Overall, once again the College traded successfully
covering its current costs and generating funds whilst
continuing to achieve the objectives set out in the
strategic plan. The College has a strong balance sheet
but the impact of the stock market fall was significant and
put a brake on the steady growth of our Endowment seen
in recent years.
Going forward, due account will be taken of the current
economic uncertainties and fundraising remains a key
objective, particularly as we seek to fund the planned
major buildings expansion.
Finally it should be noted that in line with best practice the
College put out to tender its audit, following which
Horwarth Clark Whitehill (specialists in education and
charity) were appointed.

Development – plenty of headroom, but getting there
(15) as in the previous 3 years in total. And for convincing
evidence that the ‘giving habit’ is really taking hold, take a
look at the encouraging statistics presented in Catherine
McMillan’s review of regular giving to the College which
spells out the usefulness of this reliable source for the daily
life of our community.
So what helped to drive up the numbers in 2008/9, despite
the recessionary climate?
Firstly, the Annual Fund was boosted by another successful
telethon in which students put over the College’s
consistently strong message about its improving
performance. This was followed by a remarkably effective
‘match-funding’ campaign in the last 3 months of the
financial year, thanks to an incredibly generous alumnus.
Bear in mind that participation in annual giving has a
proven impact on larger donors.
Secondly, as the new building Campaign’s ‘quiet phase’
truly got underway, the enormous significance of this
project for Pembroke, also a visible component of ‘Oxford
Thinking’, the Collegiate University’s Campaign, has clearly
been appreciated as has the professional way in which it
has been planned, designed and pursued through to
planning permission. We were greatly assisted in boosting
these perceptions by the formidably generous group of
alumni who help to make up our UK Campaign Board,
whose Chairman features on these pages and recounts the
first full year of the Board’s operation. The US Campaign
Board, which was set up a little later in the year, is also
making its presence felt.
In this ‘quiet’ Campaign phase, we are building a sense
of confidence ahead of building: we intend to launch the
‘public’ phase only after we have reached a significant
proportion of our total capital fund-raising goal of £17m
by the second quarter of 2010. If we meet or beat this
objective by that time, we should be able to adhere to the
schedule outlined in the Bursar’s report. Once the public
Campaign has been properly launched, all Pembrokians
will have the chance to participate in this landmark
undertaking by making a special gift to the project – to
suit their pockets, of course, but hopefully in many cases
to supplement regular donations to the Annual Fund.
Successful fund-raising in a cold climate
18
Andrew Seton - Strategic Development Director
This might sound like a good title for a text-book but
actually there is no wish to imply that Pembroke
should be a model for anyone else. In fact, we may
perversely be benefiting from our relative immaturity
in fund-raising – if you consider the rather more
doom-laden atmosphere which prevails on the other
side of the Atlantic where our American cousins have
been at it far longer.
The tragic loss of billions from major endowment funds
experienced in some US institutions is enough to make
anyone batten down the hatches, re-trench, review
resources and so forth. Yet in spite of all that, those
institutions maintain an enviable degree of independence
from state funding – and have taught us so much of the
‘development technology’ that has helped us to get to
where we are today.
Some might query the idea that we may ‘benefit from our
immaturity’ in terms of fund-raising (and of course we
would be grateful to have a fraction of the endowment
of some of the smaller US institutions), but we need to
remember there is still so much ‘upside’ possible in
Pembroke’s development effort. You should not be
surprised if the Strategic Development Director sounds
upbeat when you would expect his natural fund-raiser’s
enthusiasm to be tempered by news of bank bail-outs,
negative equity and similar symptoms of the current
recession. You should not be dismayed if you observe that
the total figure for fund-raising has dropped in 2008/9: this
is only because we benefited from an exceptional lead-gift
to kick-start major gifts to our Campaign in the previous
year. In fact, we had as many 6-figure gifts this past year

Donations Summary 2008/09
At the time of writing, we are still gathering in major early
stage gifts, but we are well on our way with a chunky total
of £6 million in cash or committed.
We will be helped in this general bid to excite people into
making donations by our continuing efforts to stage
attractive events and reach our alumni through readable
publications and newsletters. You can read about Juanita
Hughes’ first year as our Alumni Relations Manager and
her success in boosting attendance at Pembroke
happenings: our messages are getting through to people –
and giving appears to be contagious!
With the Master actively engaged, the Development Office
have also been building up our contacts with alumni and
friends in the Middle East, where the College has significant
historic ties. A long-term partnership with Jordan, where
His Majesty King Adbullah II is an alumnus, is a case in
point as witness a first-ever Summer Tutorial Programme
for Jordanian students (see page 6). We have other irons in
the fire in the region, too.
If it is true that the best remedy for avoiding a cold in winter
is to keep warm, then the Development team is heeding
that advice by creating a vibrant relevance for Pembroke,
warming up the wider community of present-day students
and alumni and keeping them aware of the College’s needs
and aspirations. We have plenty of headroom for more
achievement in the coming years – within our own, wider
community. And if I owned up that it was ‘a bit chilly out
there’, even US fund-raising surveys are revealing that
reality is today a lot less depressing than the endowment
losses might suggest. One US fund-raising consultancy
analysed giving to 59 client institutions in early 2009 across
the spectrum of education, healthcare, cultural and social
services and found that while total fund-raising
commitments were down 28%, one in three institutions
secured higher gift commitments than in spring 2008. Cash
revenues fell by less, while again one in three institutions
received more gift revenue than in the equivalent period in
2008. Finally, while Annual Fund takings were down by 7%,
the number of donors increased.
A big ‘thank you’ from Pembroke to all our donors who
weathered the cold climate to keep giving, or even start
giving, to the College and for helping to create a warmer
micro-climate in which we are able to press on with our
ambitious plans.

Development – plenty of headroom, but getting there
A full year of events and publications
Pembrokians North of the border to reconnect with
Pembroke without having to travel South.
It was a busy year internationally too with events in Tokyo, Hong Kong, New York, Boston, Washington DC andHouston. We build these tours into the calendar each
year and seek to take advantage of the Master and
Andrew Seton’s travel plans to enable alumni abroad to
get-together in their own country. We also often try to
link Pembroke events with University events abroad or,
if we cannot attend them ourselves, to help our local
Pembrokian organisers in those countries to invite
alumni from the College.
Mentoring also falls within my remit and we have had a
successful year with the ‘Take a Pembroke Student to
Lunch’ scheme. We managed to match up 12 students
with alumni working in a career field that the student was
interested in. Feedback has been good from both sides.
We have also been able to involve current students on
many occasions, for instance at the subject dinners and
the Blackstone Society dinner. These events provide
students with an opportunity to meet and network with
alumni who already have established careers. This
interaction helps foster the ‘cradle to grave’ relationship,
so important in alumni relations.
There has been an increase in alumni attending events with
nearly 700 of you making it to one of our events last year
with an amazing 210 attending the London Reception and
we hope that will continue as we try to diversify our range
and type of events. We always welcome feedback, good
and bad, as it helps us inform future strategy.
We continue to produce a monthly email newsletter
(please make sure you let us have your current email
address so that you don’t miss out), the College Record,
Pembrokian and Annual Report.
A highlight of the year for me is meeting so many of you
from such a wide range of matriculation years and hearing
tales of Pembroke past.
Juanita Hughes - Alumni Relations Manager

As I review the past year, my first in the job, a host of
alumni events and publications make it clear why it
passed so quickly. When I came to Pembroke last
November it was my first challenge to see if I could
pull what was in existence in terms of alumni events
together and incorporate some new ideas into a more
formal strategy. In planning the year I aim continually to
tweak events to make them interesting and introduce
new locations.
From August 2008 – July 2009 we held a total of 20
events. In College we hosted four Gaudies, the Garden
Party, the Annual Meeting, a reunion dinner for 1959
alumni, Dan Prentice’s retirement dinner, the Oxford Alumni
Reunion weekend, the Blackstone Society Dinner and an
Ossulston Circle lunch for major donors. These events
allow alumni to reconnect with Pembroke and fellow
Pembrokians while the Garden Party and Reunions offer
an opportunity for alumni to bring their families and friends
into College. It is important to continue with these
traditional alumni events while holding regular events for
all age groups.
Taking Pembroke to London, we held the Annual Reception
at the Imperial War Museum, a Breakfast at the Walbrook
Club discussing the credit crunch and a Reception at
Trinity House plus an Economics and Management Dinner.
Holding events in London makes it easier for many alumni
to attend as well as offering interesting venues: many of
our events have thus become more than just a drinks
Reception. We will continue to seek out unique locations
and if any of you have access to suitable venues please let
us know. We also held a dinner in Edinburgh thus enabling

UK Campaign Board
Julian Schild, Chairman
We now number nine members including myself, ranging in
vintage from the 1960s to the 1980s – the others are Ian
Cormack (1966), Stephen Gosztony (1981), Jeremy Hill
(1977), Beatrice Hollond (1979), Dolf Kohnhorst (1977),
Andrew Pitt (1984), Chris Rokos (1989) and Mike Wagstaff
(1980). All of us have made a financial contribution towards
the ‘quiet phase’ of the Campaign. This is important, of
course but our remit is broader. Our quarterly meetings
serve as a forum to give a ‘third-party’ view of the College’s
fund-raising activities and act as a sounding-board for the
Development Office and the project in general. Our
approach is friendly, yet independent: I hope our
involvement will give all alumni comfort that we are looking
at the project from their point of view.
The Board helps the College to re-establish contact with
Pembrokians and organises dinners and social events.
So don’t be surprised if you receive an invitation! If you are
interested in learning more about our activities, I would be
delighted to hear from you.

The Annual Fund year finished on 31st July in a flurry of
last-minute giving, a fitting finale to a busy and encouraging
year; from the initial autumn mailing, through the March
student telethon to the matched giving challenge of the
last two months. More than 1,100 alumni made a gift to
Pembroke (representing 18% of those we are in touch
with), increased from 800 the previous year (which was
13%). As before we also had some contributions from
friends of the College, bringing the Annual Fund total for
the year to £523,000 (compared to £370,000 the previous
year). While overall College income rose in 2008-09, the
Annual Fund portion increased in significance from 6% to
8%. These leaps forward are not only materially useful, but
also incredibly promising as a base for the future, and an
encouragement to our major donors who are keen to see
widespread giving at all levels.
Annual Fund donations are revenue income, and as such
have been spent during 2008-09 on a range of College
activities. Thanks to 97% of donations being made on an
unrestricted basis we once again had great flexibility in
spreading them across our different needs, which this
year focused more on the academic side. (Of course
we continue to honour the wishes of those donors who
choose to allocate their gift specifically to Student Financial
Support, Academic Resources, or Student
Accommodation and Facilities.)
Academic Resources were a major focus of our spending
this year, as academic staff costs increased by £240,000
as our two new Fellows took up post and salaries and
pension contributions rose across the University. All this in
a year when student numbers and academic income did
not rise meant that Annual Fund income was vital in this
area. On Student Financial Support, the College spent
more than £70,000 last year distributing bursaries and
scholarships to undergraduate and postgraduate students
with the Annual Fund supporting this expenditure.
The Fund was also put to work on specific buildings
projects to improve further the fabric of the College, with
close to £170,000 of costs incurred in this area (see the
Home Bursar’s report for more details). Other areas where
Annual Fund monies were needed in 2008-09 featured IT,
with our resources strengthened by the addition of a new
More unprecedented success this year, thanks to an
increasing number of Pembrokians responding ever
more generously to our appeals – thank you all!

The student grants scheme, and the Committee which
administers it (which also engages with the Development
team on a wider range of issues) have served to help raise
awareness of the importance of donations to student life.
In an era of fee-paying students presentations by the
Bursar to JCR meetings and telethon briefings all serve to
further educate on the continuing shortfall in academic
income over the costs of running a College in the way
Pembroke functions. There is no doubt that our intelligent
and enthusiastic student body are listening, and starting to
respond.
To all of our donors – first-time contributors, regular givers,
matched funders alike – very many thanks!
team member in the office, the upgrade of our link to the
University network, and the introduction of intranet facilities
for providing information to new students in advance of
their arrival. These and other projects, including the new
Annual Fund Student Grants scheme, account for the
remaining gifts.
The Annual Fund Student Grants scheme is intended
to ensure that the ‘added extras’ that make student
experiences all the more enriching can be supported by
alumni donations. Any student can put forward an
application, on the condition that the activity must involve
a group of Pembroke students (some also involve wider
University participation) who are representing the College.
Grants are decided by a joint student-Development Office
committee so that real evaluation of the success and
popularity of projects can take place. The inventiveness of
our students comes to the fore via this scheme, with new
activities coming to our attention all the time; in 2008-09:
Pembroke College Dance Club, Oxford Current Affairs
Society, Pembroke Foreign Language Society and
Agendered magazine. Existing societies have benefited
from support for special projects: the Choir CD Locus Iste,
Music Society production of Into the Woods, and Boat
Club members’ fundraising Row to London. Finally, a
grant was made to the JCR on a matched funding basis
for the purchase of new sofas, now being enjoyed by all
our undergraduates!

Our performance benchmarked
Pembroke is now one of 40 Colleges regularly contributing
to an Oxford-wide benchmarking study of fundraising data.
The results of the 2008-09 survey have recently been
released, and show a very encouraging picture for us.
On the ‘headline’ statistics we come out with a good
showing. Our cash income from donations, at £2,689,000,
was the 4th highest of any College. The study also
measures ‘gross new funds raised’ – this combines
pledges made with one-off cash gifts, and therefore helps
us measure our success in generating commitments to
give in subsequent years. On this measure Pembroke
raised £4,179,000 – the 3rd highest of any College.
On large gifts, we not only topped the table of number of
pledges for £250,000 or more with 5, but also placed joint
3rd on gifts and pledges of £25,000 or more with 18.
On smaller gifts, our Annual Fund income of £523,000
has placed us 5th, and our 186 online gifts far and away
surpassed any other performance (with one College on
136 and the rest all fewer than 100).
Alumni participation (the proportion making a gift to the
College) is now above average at Pembroke (18% against
a mean of 14%), but despite our recent increases on this
front our placing is 7th so we still have some work to do
chasing the College with 32% at the top of the table!
