We were about to set off for Japan when the tsunami struck. Given the dreadful situation there, we diverted to Thailand where a group of senior Fitzwilliam men who meet fairly regularly, thanks to the enthusiasm of Professor Dr Chetana Nagavajara (1958), gave us the warmest of Bangkok welcomes and wonderful hospitality. In November, I hosted a dinner in New York to thank our major US donors, attended by the Vice-Chancellor – who has a ‘special relationship’ with Fitzwilliam by virtue of his daughter having been a student of the College. And, in December, while in Seattle for a meeting in my capacity as Provost of the Gates Cambridge Trust, a gathering of Cambridge alumni included Paul Heller (1931) who, a few days before his 100th birthday, had travelled all the way from Vancouver, some 140 miles to the north, in order to share his memories of Fitzwilliam. Leaving aside the particularities of such a humbling meeting so far from Cambridge, that kind of effort and emotional tie is replicated across the wider Fitzwilliam community in which so many of the readers of the Journal remain active, and on which the future of the College depends. Now in my seventh year as its Master, the strength of that community, both here and further afield, is one of the reasons why I remain as honoured as ever to serve this place. But, with each passing year, my own commitment to the values of Fitzwilliam is also reinforced by all the things about the College which the Journal both shows and tells. RDL Singapore gathering
