campus, to engage academic departments in
identifying their best undergraduates and to
find students who have a winning mixture
of personal and academic skills. Jack Marriott
(Engineering Science, 2008) won the
50m butterfly title at the British Championships
in March 2011. Jack’s time is the
sixth-fastest ever by a Briton. Since this win
Hertford has granted him a year out from
his studies so that he can train and focus
on his Olympic development programme.
These achievements are a cause for
celebration. Sadly this year we also had
to mourn the untimely death of Margaret
Malpas, our lecturer in Linguistics. Margaret
gave long service to Hertford academically
and through her contribution to the
College’s musical life and will be greatly
missed. This year also marked the retirement
of our long-serving Fellow and Tutor
in Medicine, Dr Tom Cunnane. We wish
him well in his retirement and look forward
to seeing him in College in his new status
as Emeritus Fellow. In the autumn we shall
also be saying good bye to our Chaplain the

Principal’s letter
Revd Leanne Roberts on her appointment
as Canon Treasurer of Southwark Cathedral
and Diocesan Director of Ordinands. Leanne
has given great service to the College over
the last six years and will be much missed.
Also leaving Hertford is our Lecturer in
Economics, Dr Dimitra Petropoulou, who
has been appointed to a Lectureship in the
Economics Department at Sussex University;
we congratulate both Leanne and Dimitra
and wish them well in their new roles. The
autumn will see two newcomers to the Fellowship.
Dr David Gill, from Southampton
University, has been appointed to the University
Lectureship in Economics in association
with a tutorial Fellowship at Hertford,
and Dr Christina Anderson has been elected
to the Drapers’ Company Junior Research
Fellowship in the Humanities. As I prepare
to hand-over to my successor, Mr Will Hutton,
I should like to wish them and all of you
every success and happiness in the future.
