From
the Principal
This was a very special year in the annals of Somerville giving.
On 17 September 2011 Lord Patten of Barnes,
Chancellor of the University and the College’s Visitor,
inaugurated a weekend of celebrations by cutting
the ribbon in front of our two new accommodation blocks.
The opening of the buildings, the first to be completed on
the University’s Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, marked the
culmination of your generosity over the past few years.
We received an incredible number of donations for the
building appeal – in all, more than 1,100 from Somervillians
all over the world.
Since the launch of the Somerville Campaign in 2009, we
have been overwhelmed by the support for it. During the
financial year of 2010-11 we benefited from donations not
just to the ROQ accommodation, but for our other two campaign
targets, student support and fellowship funding. The benefit
to our students, at what they insist is the friendliest and most
inclusive of Oxford colleges, is immense. Your support enables
us to continue to admit talented students on a needs-blind
basis, at a time when prospective students face larger debts
than ever before in exchange for a university education.
And it allows us to continue offering the tutorial system that
makes Oxford so special, by ensuring that our Fellowships
are funded in perpetuity. I find it very moving to know that
so many Somervillians support the College in this way.
I have had a wonderful first year in office as Principal, and
some of the high points have been the days when I met groups
of alumni, in Oxford, London, and around the country and
beyond. As Development Director Julie Hage and Treasurer
Helen Morton report in the following pages, we are making
very healthy progress towards our overall Campaign target
of £25 million. The generosity described in detail in this report
is impressive. And it does not end there of course – in the six
months since the end of the financial year we have received
a further £1 million in Campaign donations. I would like
to extend my very warmest thanks on behalf of the College
to all of our generous donors. Thanks to all you do for us,
Somerville is going from strength to strength.

Development
Director’s Report
Thank you for making a defining difference to Somerville.
Somerville’s £25 million Campaign was launched in the
summer of 2009 to celebrate 130 years of pioneering
achievements. At a time of profound financial crisis,
we were asking for significant help to secure the future of this
remarkable institution. It was therefore with some trepidation
that the College embarked upon the most significant fundraising
appeal in its history. The response of our alumni and friends
during the first two and a half years has been truly remarkable.
At the end of this financial year, an impressive £16 million had
been raised towards our target from over 2,500 alumni and
friends. This report celebrates the achievements of all of you
who made our success possible. In 2010-11 alone, more than
£2 million was received in philanthropic donations and legacies,
an increase from £1.5 million in the previous year. From our
Radcliffe Observatory Quarter building appeal to the generosity
toward student bursaries and tutorial support, donations
of all sizes, and toward all areas of College life, have made
a tangible impact.
As the Principal has outlined, the opening of our new student
accommodation buildings in September 2011 marked the
completion of the first phase of the Somerville Campaign.
Over 1,100 alumni and friends supported this transformative
project: our warmest thanks to you all. We now embark with
confidence on the next phase of our appeal to secure further
support for student funding and fellowship endowment.
Strength in numbers will continue to be essential if we
are to secure the excellence of an institution which has
enabled generations of students to experience life in an
extraordinary way.
The challenges ahead are significant, and the funding for
higher education has seen deeper cuts in recent months
than we had ever anticipated. As our Treasurer Helen Morton
explains in this report, the College continues to manage its
relatively modest endowment and financial assets with great
care, as we prepare for the future.
The Somerville Campaign is supported by many volunteers
who help us advance our activities in the UK and throughout
the world. To these treasured friends and all our donors,
we say a heartfelt thank you. We hope you will enjoy reading
about how your donation has made a difference to the lives
of students, and all of us at Somerville.
With gratitude,
Julie Christiane Hage
Fellow & Director of Development

The
Somerville College
Development Board
The Campaign was designed and launched with support from our distinguished
Development Board members who lead by example; their generosity and
professionalism has prepared the College for the challenges ahead and has
been a determining factor in the success of the first phase of our appeal.
The Board was energetically chaired by Harriet Maunsell (1962) from
2004 and our new Chairman, Clara Freeman (1971), and Deputy-Chairman,
Hilary Newiss (1974), have taken on the Campaign leadership with great
vision since January 2011.
“36% of our alumni have supported the Somerville Campaign,
helping the College to secure its future and endorsing its ambitions
to be at the heart of one of the best universities in the world.
It is more important than ever that we educate the next generation
of leaders, thinkers and doers to play their part in securing the future
success and prosperity of us all.”

The
SOMERVILLE
CAMPAIGN
Somerville’s first major fundraising campaign celebrates
the College’s traditions of academic excellence,
accessibility for students, and the creation of world
class facilities.
Launched in June 2009 as Somerville celebrated its 130th
anniversary, the Campaign aims to raise £25 million to support
the three areas crucial to the College’s future well-being:
Student support (fundraising target: £4 million)
Fellowships (fundraising target: £8 million)
Buildings and facilities (fundraising target: £13 million)
Sustaining the path to future growth
Our Campaign vision remains clear: to safeguard a tradition of
excellence at a time of severe cuts to higher education funding,
it is vital to increase support for the College’s endowment.
Somerville’s endowment is only around the midpoint in the
ranking of Oxford colleges, and the College cannot rely on
ancient benefactions or income from substantial landholdings.
Moreover, around half of the College endowment is restricted
by donors to specific purposes and this reduces our flexibility
to respond to changing circumstances.
Raising £25 million is a challenging but necessary target which
will help Somerville to become less dependent on government
funding and enable us to manage a programme of future
growth. In partnership with alumni, friends and philanthropic
benefactors, the goal is to support the pioneering research
of our fellows and to ensure that future generations of
Somervillians can fulfil their potential.
How your gifts have made a difference
By the end of the 2010-11 financial year, more than £16 million
had been raised (in cash and pledges) through generous gifts
from alumni and friends of Somerville. This is a remarkable
achievement and we are very grateful to everyone who has
given to the Campaign to date.
This total is made up of the three main strands of Campaign
fundraising, plus the Somerville Annual Fund and General
Endowment, which directly support these strands. £12 million
was raised during our ‘quiet phase’ from August 2005 to July
2009 and an additional £4 million has been raised in the past
two years.

A dedicated community of donors
When Somervillians support us in great numbers it gives a clear
signal to other donors and funding bodies that we are worthy
of their support. We are already well ahead of other Oxford
colleges, which have average participation rates of 13%, and we
are determined to rival the highest rate of 33% currently achieved
in Oxford. Gifts of all sizes matter, and your continued support is
greatly appreciated.
36% of alumni have supported the Campaign.

Transforming Lives:
Investing
in Student
Support
Somerville was founded to educate talented women otherwise
unable to gain access to a university education.
Throughout Somerville’s history, alumni, friends and
fellows of the College have demonstrated special
generosity towards helping students in every possible
way. This tradition was established by the founding Principal,
Miss Madeleine Shaw Lefevre, who raised funds for the first
Indian woman to study here in the 1880s. Daphne Park, another
remarkable Principal, was able to come to Somerville with the help
of a scholarship, and did everything she could during her tenure
(1980-1989) to attract further funding for gifted students in need.
The funding of higher education in England has undergone
dramatic changes in the last year, with undergraduate tuition
fees tripling in 2012. At postgraduate level, up to 75%
of students in the humanities and social sciences must
fund themselves.
Against this backdrop, Somerville is committed to doing
everything it can to attract the very brightest minds by
increasing support for bursaries and scholarships.

Fundraising
target £4M
How your gift has made a difference to our students
In the first phase of the Campaign, a target of £2 million
was set to increase the funding available to students.
Somerville’s alumni and friends have helped us exceed this
initial target with more than £2.1 million raised toward student
bursaries, scholarships, hardship grants and travel grants.
Generous benefactors have endowed named bursaries and
scholarship funds, and the tireless efforts of families, friends
and colleagues have made it possible to establish programmes
such as the Caldicott Fund for medical students and the
Michala Butterfield Fund for law students.
Generous travel grants have enabled over 50 students to travel
to countries as far afield as India, Ghana, Morocco and South
Africa, in order to attend conferences, volunteer in third world
initiatives, and study at overseas universities.
The College’s Bursary Fund now holds more than £1 million
for undergraduate support. The annual yield of this fund
enables the College to provide close to 100 students from low
income backgrounds with a bursary to assist with their living
costs. This places Somerville in the top five Oxford colleges
for bursary support.
We also continue to attract generous funding for talented
postgraduate students who would otherwise not be able to
complete their course, with the first history graduate awarded
a Vanessa Brand Graduate Scholarship this year.
Looking to the future: investing in student support
Changes to government funding of higher education
mean that, from 2012, undergraduate tuition fees will triple.
There are widespread concerns that talented applicants may
be deterred from applying to universities like Oxford out of fear
of incurring increased debt.
Somerville must do all it can to attract additional funding
and publicise these opportunities for support widely. Against
this backdrop, support from alumni and friends will become
increasingly vital in coming years to sustain our level of
excellence and to ensure fair access for the brightest students on
a needs blind basis. The work of our recently appointed Access
and Communications Officer, Amy Crosweller, will strengthen
our access provision significantly and ensure that Somerville is
reaching out to talented applicants from all backgrounds.
As we look to the future, we seek to address increase the support
available to both undergraduate and postgraduate students in
coming years by raising a total of £4 million. We appeal to all our
alumni, friends and other funding partners to assist with creative
solutions to enable us to reach this ambitious target.

The Michala Butterfield fund
In January 2008, Michala Butterfield (Emmett, 1995)
and her husband Sam died tragically whilst on their honeymoon
in India, just a month after they were married. Jane Loader,
Michala’s close friend from Somerville, asked us to establish
a bursary in her name. Michala's family and friends have
undertaken many activities to raise money for the fund,
including the 25-mile Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge,
the 90-mile Toad Thames Run, and Manchester 10K run.
They have raised over £90,000 to date, which will be used
to fund two Michala Butterfield bursaries.
"Since starting this appeal a few years ago we have been
overwhelmed by the generous gifts, amazing hard work
and imaginative fundraising ideas of so many of Michala's
family and friends. I never dreamt that so much money could
be raised in such a short time. It is testament both to the
impact that Michala had on so many people during her life
and to the worthiness of the cause – helping to support
students at her much-loved college.”
Jane Loader (Aspell, 1995)
Daphne Park Bursary Fund
In 2010 we mourned the
loss of our great Principal,
Daphne Park. Daphne
knew what it was to be poor.
It would have been impossible
for her to come to Somerville
if she had not won a scholarship.
As Principal of Somerville forty
years on, Daphne was always
acutely aware of the financial
difficulties faced by students.
She left Somerville a generous
legacy to set up a bursary fund,
which the College is honoured to name in her memory.
“I consider myself to have been doubly fortunate in my time
at Somerville – firstly, because I came up with the benefit
of a full grant, lived in college throughout and was able to
emerge debt-free, and secondly because the Principal was the
inspirational Daphne Park. I am proud to support her legacy,
both in memory of an exceptional individual who brought s
much to my life at Somerville and long after, and to help ensure
that others can benefit from the same opportunities I enjoyed.”
Jo Magan (Ward, 1984)

Investing in Academic Excellence:
Endowing
Fellowships
Somerville believes in the power of education to transform lives,
through the education we provide and the impact our students then make
in the world. The tutorial system is at the heart of everything we do,
enabling students to reach their highest potential.

Fundraising
target £8M
The international distinction of our academic fellowship
not only helps students to question and to seek answers
for themselves during their tutorials, but engages them
directly in world-class research. At present, we are only able
meet the annual cost of 60% of our teaching posts.
The Campaign aims to raise £8 million for fellowships as
a first important step towards creating a secure future for
our academic posts. Our long term goal is to endow all our
fellowships in perpetuity, and thereby free up resources to
support the future development of the College.
How your gifts have helped secure the tutorial system
Just over half of our £8 million target has been raised to
date, a total of £4.7 million. This includes Daphne Osborne’s
unprecedented £4.5 million legacy, and additional donations
have provided funding for teaching costs in other subject areas,
such as our Italian and Classics Fellowships.
Daphne Osborne Fellowship
Professor Daphne Osborne was a
distinguished plant scientist and Senior
Research Fellow of Somerville College.
Professor Osborne died in 2006 at the
age of 81, leaving a legacy to Somerville
for the endowment of fellowships in
the physical and biological sciences.
Professor Sarah Gurr is the first Daphne
Osborne Tutorial Fellow at Somerville
College. A world leading plant biologist,
she specialises in the design of novel
disease resistance strategies in crops and is the first woman
President of the British Society for Plant Pathology.
“Daphne Osborne was an eminent plant physiologist. Indeed, her
obituary records her scientific achievements as being "legendary"
(The Times, July 2006). Her most notable contribution was to
describe the role of the plant hormone ethylene in the regulation
of aging and abscission (shedding of fruit and leaves). Daphne
was always interested in our endeavours and on the impact of
plant disease on our major crops - we shared a passion for plants
and for intellectual ‘style’, and it is an honour to tutor in her
name the scientists of the future.”
“As a Chemistry graduate, I might not be a typical donor
to the Philosophy Fellowship appeal. But it struck a chord
with me – my best friend read philosophy at university.
On top of that, I myself have been reading more and more
books on philosophy in recent years, and realised how
important and relevant it is to today’s society. I wanted to
ensure that Somerville remained a centre for scholarship
in philosophy that future generations could benefit from.”
Paddy Crossley (Earnshaw, 1956)
Il Circolo
As part of its objective to promote Italian
culture in this UK, the Il Circolo Italian
Cultural Association has supported the
teaching of Italian at Somerville by helping
to fund Dr Manuele Gragnolati’s post for
the last eight years.
We are extremely grateful for this continued support as we
face one of the most challenging financial situations for the
study of modern languages.

Looking to the future: investing in academic excellence
• Endowing French and Philosophy Fellowships:
We are increasing our efforts to attract funding for
fellowships which are at risk. Working with the University
of Oxford Teaching Fund, we aim to secure two humanities
fellowships for the College, in Philosophy and French.
As soon as we raise £1.2 million, the University will ‘top up’
the endowment to the £2 million needed to endow each
fellowship permanently. We have therefore set an ambitious
target to raise £2.4 million by 2013 and unlock this
unique opportunity.
Since the end of the 2010-11 financial year, generous
alumni have pledged £500,000 toward the Philosophy
fellowship, and a number of significant legacy pledges have
been earmarked for the French fellowship. The challenge
of completing the appeals remains significant and we will
reach out to our alumni and friends in the coming months
and years to build a secure future for tutorial teaching
at Somerville.
• Advancing global research:
From the urgent problems of the declining ocean
environment to questions of re-imagined democracy, our
scholars are leaders in their fields. Tackling challenges
of international importance, the work carried out by
Somerville scholars is extraordinary. We seek to partner
with alumni and international philanthropic organisations
to secure the advancement of this pioneering research base.

Building for the Future:
Improving
our facilities
The end of the financial year saw the completion of work on Somerville’s
new student accommodation on the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter (ROQ),
the site of the University’s most significant development project
for more than a century.
High quality buildings create an environment in
which students and academics can thrive. A long
lease on valuable land on the boundary of this new
development gave Somerville an historic opportunity to build
two state of the art buildings, designed by the award-winning
Niall McLaughlin Architects. The Chancellor of Oxford
University, Lord Patten of Barnes, opened the new buildings
on 17th September 2011. With an initial target of £2 million
in philanthropic funding, we are delighted that the building
appeal attracted more than £2.7 million from alumni,
friends and foundations.
How your donations have transformed the
Somerville community
Welcoming the first students in October 2011, the new buildings
are already providing the equivalent of a ‘mini bursary’ for 68
students who are able to live in College, rather than having to find
more expensive accommodation in Oxford in their second year.
We have already seen how these beautiful and well designed new
spaces contribute to a strengthening of our academic community,
enabling the students to work and live together, exchanging ideas
and supporting one another.
The buildings will provide Somerville with a gateway to the
ROQ as it becomes the new centre of gravity for the University,
housing all of the humanities together for the first time in
900 years, along with the Mathematical Institute and the
Blavatnik School of Government. The new facilities will also
generate additional conference income during the vacations
to support the College.
The project would not have been possible without the support
of alumni and friends, and the help we have received from
supporters all around the world has been truly heartening.
As a sign of our gratitude for this generosity, a donor wall
has been erected in the entrance to one of the new buildings,
displaying the names of those who gave. Plaques line the
corridors, many of which have been engraved with messages
from those who chose to sponsor a bedroom or a kitchen.
It was a special pleasure to welcome more than 400 donors
during the opening weekend in September 2011, and
we look forward to welcoming many more of you in the
coming months.

Dr Trudy Watt (1971) sponsored two student bedrooms in the
new ROQ buildings, choosing to dedicate the plaques of both
rooms to Somervillians of the past: Evelyn Fox, DBE, who
pioneered provision for those who were mentally disabled;
and Grace Hadow, a champion of rural adult education,
English scholar, and, from 1929, Principal of what would
become St Anne’s College, Oxford.
Building for the future: improving our facilities
• Naming more rooms in the student accommodation
buildings: We continue to raise funds towards Somerville’s
new buildings. Further support from major gifts and
legacies will enable us to pay off as much as possible
of the £5 million commercial loan. The opportunity to
name rooms, kitchens or even a whole floor remains, and
we hope alumni and other funding partners will join the
impressive community of donors.
• Transforming the graduate experience:
Somerville is developing plans for building additional
accommodation to enable us to house all our graduate
students in College. We are also exploring opportunities
for combining graduate accommodation with offices for
one or several of our world-leading research groups, creating
a vibrant environment for the next generation of scholars.
We expect this project to cost £5-10 million, depending
on the final specifications.

When I made my donation, I saw the plaque idea as an
opportunity to explore Somerville’s past and to commemorate
two people whose interests overlapped with mine. If others
are considering naming a room, and I sincerely hope that
this is the case, I encourage them to investigate the
histories of past Somervillians. By marking the rooms in
this way, I was able to celebrate the lives of two fascinating
women, and to communicate this history to current and
future students.
Most importantly, this was obviously a way to help the
College: fundraising is essential and these rooms simply
would not be there without people’s support. It was a real
bonus to see the plaques in place and to know that students
will be living in the rooms in perpetuity. The process has
also given me enormous pleasure.
Alice Westlake (2010, Engineering) moved into her new bedroom
in ROQ West block last October. Her room was sponsored by the
Somerville Association.
Before returning to College for the new academic year, I naturally
had high expectations for the new ROQ residence; and stepping into
the building immediately exceeded these! But on top of the quality
of the rooms, having the chance of a room in College, which without
the new buildings wouldn’t have been possible, has allowed me to
focus more on my studies and taken away the problems that finding
and living in private accommodation can cause.
One of the things I find warming about the new ROQ buildings is the
naming of the rooms. It is a way to link old Somervillians with new,
and the quotation on the plaque by my door, ‘Once a Somervillian,
always a Somervillian’, really enhances my feeling of belonging
to the College and its history.

The
Annual
Fund
Your regular gifts make it possible for Somerville to continue challenging
and inspiring its students to go out into the world and change it for the better.
This culture of aspiration and public service can be seen
in the work that students go onto in later life, as well as
in the contribution that current students make in their
vacation and spare time to transformative activities across the
world. Philanthropic support for students of all backgrounds
has always been central to life at Somerville and ensures that
as many people as possible have the opportunity to use their
Oxford education to benefit the lives of others.
The Somerville Annual Fund is a powerful vehicle through which
generations of Somervillians can support students and areas
of highest need, now and in the future. Set up in 2002, nearly
30% of Somervillians have now given to the Annual Fund, raising
more than £1.5 million. The Fund supports the objectives of the
Campaign by providing bursaries and hardship funds, support
for buildings and facilities, and the tutorial system.
During the 2010-11 financial year, the College received more than
£500,000 in regular and other gifts. All gifts are used within the
year they are donated, making an immediate and direct difference
to our students. In the last twelve months, for example, Somerville
has installed site-wide wi-fi, giving our students access to online
materials from anywhere in College.
We are one of the first colleges in Oxford to provide this valuable
resource for 21st century study. For decades, Somerville has
benefited from regular giving, enabling the College to plan ahead
and carry out similarly innovative projects. We are extremely
grateful to this growing circle of regular givers.
The power of regular giving
Regular gifts have an enormous impact as they allow the College
to plan ahead with confidence and make the most of all donations.
Every gift to the Annual Fund, regardless of its size, can join together
with gifts from other individuals to make a huge difference to
Somerville and to the lives of students here today. For example, just
14 Somervillians making a donation of £15 per month could, after
gift aid has been reclaimed, provide a £3000 bursary for one year.
We hope that even more Somervillians will be able to join this
growing community of regular givers.

The 2010 Telethon
The annual telethon campaign is key to the continuing success
of the Annual Fund.
In September and October 2010, thirteen students spent 618
hours over two weeks calling Somervillians all around the world.
During this time the callers managed to have conversations with
575 people, raising over £106,000. This was a great opportunity
for Somervillians to hear about the latest news from College.
The students all greatly enjoyed the chance to speak with other
Somervillians and to learn about their time at the College and
lives since graduation.
In 2011, the Somerville telethon raised a remarkable £200,000 -
the highest amount ever raised in a telethon at Somerville. Everyone
who gave will be listed in the next Donor Report, but we would like to
express our heartfelt thanks. A full account is also available on
our website.
“I was a campaign caller for the Somerville telethons in 2010 and
2011. So many of the alumni that I spoke to were overwhelmingly
friendly and keen to renew their connection to Somerville, and
many of them did not realise how eager the College is to welcome
them back to see all of the recent changes. My personal highlight
was being offered work experience by one particularly generous
alumnus, but every person who was happy to receive the phone
call from Somerville made the whole experience worthwhile.”
Rachel Boakes (2009, English Language and Literature)

“I made my first Will about twenty years ago when in my
early 40s. Within a year my aunt had died, leaving me a
legacy, then my husband also died, and together these events
concentrated my mind on the need to think carefully about
my own Will. Since then, I have reworked it twice as my
circumstances have changed.
Having no close family now, I have decided to leave small
sums to dear friends and a larger sum to my one godson.
Thereafter, everything is willed to a selection of charities.
I wanted to recognise the importance in my life of my
church and my College, so included Somerville. Of course,
it is impossible to know when it will come into effect or
quite what the sums of money will be at that time, but I
am confident that Somerville will put its share to good use.”

Legacies
Legacies are the most important form of charitable income
that Somerville receives, and throughout its history, the College
has benefited more than most Oxford colleges from generous
alumni who have left a gift in their will.
We would like to express our warmest thanks to all alumni who have made provision for Somerville in their will for their generosity,
and for informing us of their intentions. As well as the people listed below, we know of a further 32 who prefer not to be named
in this Report.

Questions
& Answers
with
Helen Morton, Treasurer
How would you summarise the
financial report for 2010-2011?
The College became a registered charity in December 2010
after many years as an exempt charity and therefore the
format of accounts has changed significantly. So my answer
is complicated by this change, as it is difficult to make
comparisons with previous years.
We experienced a small deficit this year, which is certainly not
ideal, but better than it might have been: we were hoping to
have sold a house within the financial year, and this sale was
delayed. We saw a significant increase in conference income,
which helped reduce the deficit. And it was a very good year
for donations – Somervillians are incredibly generous people,
and whenever we do make a surplus in a year, it is mostly due
to them.
It is important to note that the accounts are for the general
College fund, and therefore only acknowledge unrestricted
donations and legacies which we can use for general purposes
as decided by the College’s Governing Body. As the Development
Director mentions in her report, we have in fact received a total
of £2 million in donations and legacies during this financial year.
How well prepared is Somerville
to face future economic challenges?
We have a relatively stable situation – our endowment fund is
a defensive portfolio designed to produce a reasonable level of
income, whatever’s going on. The endowment assets of Somerville
increased in value by £3.4m to £39.3m at July 2011, which gives
us a modest endowment compared with some of the other colleges
in Oxford, but means that we’re not as dependent on that form
of income as those other colleges might be.
In fact, the College has a very diverse range of income sources,
made up of fees and academic income, student rents, non-student
rents, unrestricted donations and legacies, conference income.
Thanks to the new accommodation on the ROQ, we can keep
building our conference and trading income. Of course, that new
source of income would not have been available to us without
alumni support.
It can be a challenge when forecasting our financial performance,
because we don’t know exactly how many people have pledged
legacies to us or what the value of each pledge is. Somerville is
extremely lucky to have one of the largest legacy incomes of all
Oxford colleges, and this stands us in very good stead.

Please note: Due to a change in the format of accounts, it is not possible
to provide a comparison with last year’s figures.
* This accounts for all unrestricted gifts, which go into the College’s
general fund. The total income for restricted and unrestricted legacies
and donations was £2 million for 2010-11.
Are there any restrictions or limitations
on the use of College endowment?
What are the financial priorities
for the coming year?
Over half of the endowment is restricted, but for purposes
that we can use – so in effect it doesn’t matter that it is restricted.
For example, the big legacy that we received from Daphne
Osborne in 2007 was restricted for teaching in the Physical and
Biological Sciences – that covers pretty much half our teaching.
However, something that was restricted to teaching in a particular
subject would not be as helpful.
The difficulty is that only about 60% of our teaching costs are
met by income from the endowment, and the other 40% therefore
has to come out of the general funds.
The academic income is intended to cover those costs, but it
has to cover other College costs as well. The Somerville Campaign
is of course vital in aiding us there, and we’re in a far stronger
position now than we were a few years ago.
Does the College have an
investment policy?
Yes – Somerville has an investment policy. We reviewed the
management of the College’s investments in my first two years
at Somerville, and selected a company called Newton Investment
Management to whom we moved in 2002 when we agreed our
investment policy. Newton has been given a clear discretionary
mandate and investment objectives, which were last reviewed
earlier this year.
The total investment return over the year was 14.4%, which
compared to a benchmark return of 12.9%.
We review our investments three times a year at Finance
Committee, which includes an annual discussion at length.
I then have a mid year meeting with Newton in London together
with Nicola Ralston, a Somervillian who acts as our external
adviser on investments. She is the person who we can bounce
ideas off and discuss the best course of action.
We are working to a five year strategic and financial plan
which is reviewed and updated every year but there are not
many changes in our priorities year to year.
The immediate priorities on the teaching side are the funding
of some of the posts in the longer term, in French and Philosophy,
and we will also be looking at Economics further down the line.
Because of the major financial commitment to the ROQ site
(we now have a £5 million loan for the building), the College
is not yet in a position to commit to further significant building
projects, but we have just received planning permission for an
extension to and refurbishment of Wolfson in 2012 and we also
hope to move the student bar to Vaughan terrace in 2012.
Ultimately, the long-term objective is to continue increasing
the endowment and the associated endowment income, and
to consistently achieve an operating surplus that enables the
growth of a strong Free General Reserve.
The Campaign has been designed to tie in with our main
priorities, and we are making good progress toward achieving
those financial goals. Everything raised makes us far less
vulnerable to future uncertainties around government funding,
and ensures that Somerville can continue to deliver everything
it was founded for.
