plays, perhaps Hermione is ultimately most like the young mathematician Thomasina from Arcadia, and not just for her prodigious intelligence. We all know, as Thomasina memorably puts it, that once you’ve stirred the jam into the rice pudding you can’t stir it back out again. Hermione’s jammy fingerprints prints will mark Wolfson for decades to come … It has been a privilege to belong to Wolfson during the golden Hermione era: she has boosted my academic confidence, she’s turned my much-loved Wolfson into an even livelier and more beautiful place, and I will personally miss her presence more than I can say. Lucie Cluver (GBF) added this tribute: At the end of this academic year, we will say a very sad goodbye to our President, Professor Dame Hermione Lee. When I arrived at Wolfson for the first time as a Governing Body Fellow in 2009, I was delighted (and a little intimidated) by Hermione's graciousness, kindness and initiative. She has somehow managed to know every member of staff, student and fellow, whilst tirelessly raising money, spearheading our beautiful new buildings, inspiring colleagues to innovative lifestory research, and writing award-winning books in her spare time. Hermione has been a role model for me, and for many others. We wish her all the very best for her retirement, and a heartfelt thank-you for her incredible hard work. And at the President’s Summer Garden Party for the <strong>College</strong> staff ... The <strong>College</strong> staff knew that one of the Governing Body’s fun gifts to the President was an Edward Bawden colouring book and gel pens. She is a great admirer of this famous artist and illustrator (1903–89), as they well knew, so naturally they decided to go one better (well, several better), by accompanying their handsome gift of flowers with a limited-edition copy of Bawden’s Lost Watercolours, the largest collection of his pre-War watercolours ever assembled. The necessary whip-round was instigated by Sue Hales and Juliet Montgomery. In presenting this beautiful volume, Sue said: 32
‘Hermione, you will be sorely missed by all of us and undoubtedly a hard act to follow. It’s been a real pleasure working for you for the last nine years.’ And Juliet added: ‘We wish you all the very best in your future projects, and may you have a long and happy retirement thereafter.’ Photos by Clare Norton 33
