COLLEGE NEWS I <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2012</strong> 67<br />
‘Macbeth and the Witches’ by John Wootton, donated by Herbert Lawrence Knill<br />
authorized the commissioning <strong>of</strong> a portrait <strong>of</strong> P<strong>of</strong>essor Jardine herself as the <strong>College</strong>’s<br />
first woman fellow. We do not yet know who will be painting the portrait.<br />
We ended the year with the generous donation by Herbert Lawrence Knill (1961)<br />
<strong>of</strong> a large and dramatic canvas, ‘Macbeth and the Witches’, by the eighteenth century<br />
painter, John Wootton. It is now hanging impressively in the Alcock Room.<br />
In many ways the most significant event <strong>of</strong> the year was the resignation <strong>of</strong> Jim<br />
Roseblade from the Works <strong>of</strong> Art Committee, Jim’s untiring energy and industry<br />
encompassed the business <strong>of</strong> Treasurer and the organizing <strong>of</strong> all our exhibition<br />
openings, the design <strong>of</strong> posters and the hugely demanding task <strong>of</strong> fund-raising.<br />
He is irreplaceable, so much so that we have decided to replace him by dividing his<br />
various roles among no fewer than three people! He will be missed especially by the<br />
Curator, whose appointment has been renewed recently, for another five years. ■
