Dear Friends, 

It gives me enormous pleasure as Vice-Chancellor of 

this great University to introduce the Report to Donors 

2008/09. I would like to take this opportunity to 

personally thank you for supporting the University of 

Exeter in the last year. Your support means so much to us. 

In last year’s report, I spoke about the University of 

Exeter’s aim of breaking into the top 10 universities in 

the UK by 2012. e fantastic news is that e Times league 

table published in 2009 ranks Exeter in 9th place out of 

more than 100 universities in the UK. We have succeeded 

in achieving our goal in 2009 – three years ahead of 

schedule. is is a truly stunning achievement. 

Exeter’s rise has been remarkable. As Vice-Chancellor, I 

would like to personally thank you for helping to turn this 

vision into reality. Our journey has been made possible 

thanks to your support. You will read in the following 

pages how philanthropic gifts are being used to invest in 

Exeter’s future as a world-leading university. Every gift 

donated is helping fund world-class campuses, research 

and graduates. Your support is making a difference. 

ank you,

£7.06 million raised 

e University of Exeter has a history of philanthropy. e 

names of many buildings around Exeter’s campuses reflect this 

tradition. Buildings like Mardon, Washington Singer and 

Hatherly represent the names of some of the benefactors 

who have shaped Exeter’s history. 

is spirit of philanthropy burns brightly today. In 2008/09, 

alumni and supporters of the University donated over 

£7 million to support Exeter. e pages of this report illustrate 

some of the many ways gifts are making a difference. 

e contributions made by donors are going further than 

ever before. e UK Government has introduced a Matched 

Funding Scheme to match donations to universities like Exeter 

with public funds and encourage donors throughout the 

world to support UK higher education. Under the scheme, 

donations to Exeter received before 31 July 2011 are eligible 

for a 3:1 match. For every £3 donated to the University, the 

Government is now matching it with a further £1. is means 

your gifts go further than at any other time in Exeter’s history.

Annual Fund 

makes a difference 

Donations to the Annual Fund, the University’s annual 

fundraising appeal, are supporting a wide range of 

projects. e Annual Fund has raised more than £1 

million from alumni and supporters since it was created 

in 2002. Some of the projects currently being funded 

include a new fleet of boats for the University’s Sailing 

Club, the development of student allotments and 

support for student mentoring. A special disbursement 

panel made up of donors, staff and students has been 

set up this year to decide which projects should be 

funded from the Annual Fund. Here are just a few of 

the projects that have been supported. 

‘‘ 

I am delighted to be able to support the Excited about 

Science project. It is rather wonderful to be able both 

to help to improve the employability of Exeter students 

and also to encourage the next generation of scientists. 

The country needs more people with science skills and 

Exeter is playing a leading role in meeting this need.

for a series of workshops. e project also provides 

key employability skills and work experience for 

undergraduate students interested in teaching and 

careers in science communication. 

Action After Stroke 

Donors are supporting the work of Action After Stroke, 

a rehabilitation group based at the St Luke’s campus.

his official retirement, the University 

has established a scholarship in the 

name of Tim and his beloved wife, 

Rida, who passed away in 2002. e 

Tim and Rida Niblock Scholarship 

Fund seeks to encourage and enable, 

at Tim’s request, more students to 

undertake Masters-level study in any Middle East or Islamic Studies 

subject at the Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies. 

Each year, the Fund will either enable a Masters student from Sudan 

to study at Exeter, or it will pay the full course fees of a Masters student 

domiciled in the UK or the EU. Tim has himself made a founding gift 

towards the Fund.

Cricketers from across the local community will be 

able to use the centre, as well as University cricket 

players. University of Exeter cricket scholar Becky 

Williams says: ‘I think it is a superb opportunity 

for cricketers in the whole community and students 

here at the University. It will allow training all the 

year round.’ Meanwhile, schoolboy cricketer 

Harrison Folland, 15, a pupil at Blundell’s School, 

Tiverton, Devon, who plays for the Devon Under 

15 team, adds: ‘It is a great new facility for training. 

It will really help cricketers like myself to improve 

their game.’ 

A number of alumni are supporting cricket at the 

University. Alumnus John Wakely (Economics 1978) 

is helping to fund a cricket coach. Although he 

played golf for the University, he played cricket for 

the Cullompton Cricket Club, as his parents had 

retired to Devon. He says: ‘I played with the club 

for several seasons and I recognise how important 

village cricket is for local communities. As a result, 

I was very pleased to see that the cricket centre 

serves not only the University but also the 

local community.’

Legacies make

Legacy helps support 

University Library 

e academic legacy of Professor Andrew Lang (Physics 1944) 

is continuing thanks to his bequest to the University of Exeter. 

Professor Lang sadly passed away on June 30, 2008. As Emeritus 

Professor of Physics at the University of Bristol, the academic 

had a distinguished career and pioneered studies in X-ray 

diffraction physics. He was an expert on crystal physics and 

was widely recognised for his development of the technique of 

X-ray topography. 

Professor Lang embarked on his academic career after he obtained 

a First-Class Honours degree in Physics at e University College of 

the South West of England, the predecessor to the University of 

Exeter, in 1944. He gained an MSc in 1947, a Cambridge PhD in 

1953 and went on to work in industrial research in the UK and in 

the United States. In 1954 he was appointed as Assistant Professor 

of Physical Metallurgy at Harvard University and then moved to 

the University of Bristol to take up a Lectureship in Physics in 1960. 

Professor Lang spent the rest of his academic career at Bristol. 

roughout his life he was a strong supporter of many charities, 

including the University of Exeter. In his will, he made a bequest 

to support investment in the University Library amounting to 

£80,000. He said the reason he wanted to support the Library 

was that one of the most important lessons he learnt at University 

was how to study alone.

Volunteering 

with impact

Alumni share their talents 

More alumni than ever are coming back to the University to share their 

time and expertise with students. During Widen Your Options Week in 

February, nearly 20 alumni returned to Exeter to volunteer as careers 

speakers. e alumni who participated took part in a range of activities, 

including talks and mock interview sessions. 

Clare Pearce is the Volunteer Officer for the University’s Development and 

Alumni Relations Office. She is co-ordinating efforts to provide alumni 

with a range of potential volunteering activities. One of the many alumni 

who are now volunteering at Exeter is alumna Ruth Lovell (English 2006), 

who is a broadcast journalist with the BBC. Ruth is an active volunteer 

and has returned to Exeter on numerous occasions to share her first-hand 

experience of making the transition from student journalism to a career 

in the media.
