The President’s Letter Sir Tim Hitchens The point of a College Record is to remember the year past. There will be many of us who would prefer to forget it. I hope we can look forward; but there is a time too for reflection. One of the effects of lockdown has been that academic colleagues have left us, and others have arrived, without the thanks, acknowledgement, or welcome that they deserve. In the course of this last year we have recorded, with great sadness, the deaths of individuals who played a major role in the College. In October Professor Marcus Banks, a serving Governing Body Fellow, died suddenly. He was an outstanding visual anthropologist, and a dedicated member of the College. We are still in shock. I am pleased to be able to announce that we have now established the Marcus Banks Hardship Fund which will support students in future years who encounter unexpected hardship during their studies. introduction The College also heard with great sadness of the death of three Emeritus Fellows. Bryan Sykes, geneticist and science writer, and expert in mitochondrial DNA, was a long-term resident of the College; he died in December. Ken Cranstoun, an early Governing Body Fellow of the College and for many years our Senior Tutor, also sadly died in March. And Chris Walton, former Bursar and Governing Body Fellow passed away in April. They will all be sorely missed. And in this year in particular I should record our understanding that almost all of you will have been touched in some way by the havoc wreaked by the pandemic: relatives who may have died, brushes with death yourself, longer-term suffering from the consequences of the infection, and the impact on our mental health of this extraordinary experience. I want to thank all our students and young researchers for the way in which they have borne the privations of this year with understanding and self-restraint. An older generation is grateful. We have seen changes among our senior Fellowship. Jon Austyn, Ellen Rice, Bob Coecke, Matthew McCartney, then Samson Abramsky, Julie Curtis, and Martin wolfson.ox.ac.uk 7
