6 MESSAGE FROM THE MASTER I Jesus College Annual Report 2012 The devotion of our staff to the College continues to be exemplary despite the upheavals caused by our major infrastructure projects, and has helped to maintain that strong sense of collegiality that we value. In addition, it has been a pleasure yet again to celebrate success within the fellowship, a highlight of the year being the award to Professor Crawford of the 2012 Manley O. Hudson Medal by the American Society of International Law, this medal having previously been won by Professor Sir Robert Jennings. Intellectual initiatives continued to develop in the College; for example, the very successful Graduate Student Conference for the first time welcomed attendees who had previously been students to the College, this opening up new research collaborations and ideas. In addition special symposia, in particular the Rustat Conferences and the Symposium on Economic Crime, continued to flourish. The latter celebrated its thirtieth anniversary this year, and provided us with an opportunity to reflect on its achievements. This Symposium on Economic Crime, at Jesus College, with its aim of promoting economic stability and protecting the integrity of institutions, businesses and economies across the world has never been more important or relevant. Over the years it has attracted over 16,000 participants including 450 ambassadors and high commissioners, 1,150 officials of ministerial rank and over 47 Governors of central banks. It has inspired, supported and involved well in excess of 1,000 doctoral research students, and three established scholarly journals are published under its auspices, including that with the highest academic rating for any publication in the area. It is of course my hope that symposia such as these will continue to flourish within the College and University, giving opportunities for wider academic enquiry and engagement generally, and bringing benefit to current students and long-standing College members. The College has of course experienced times of sadness this year, the most notable being the passing of Sir Alan Cottrell, who was an outstanding Master. He was the pre-eminent material scientist of the 20th Century, described when being awarded an honorary degree by the University of Cambridge in 1996 as the father of modern Materials Science whose scholarship had shaped the whole subject. His leadership of the College was exemplary, and of course he played a great role in not only shaping Materials Science, but also the College, in particular through his leadership in gaining approval for the admission of women. Over the past year the College also has carried out the major refurbishment of Chapel Court and the newly-named Marshall Court in Jesus Lane, projects of technical complexity and on a scale, involving the refurbishment of approximately 170 rooms, beyond that of any refurbishments in recent years. It is a pleasure to note, that the refurbishments have been completed on time and to budget, and maintain the traditional atmosphere of the buildings dear to many of us, while bringing them in line with the standards expected in the 21st Century. I am so grateful to the Bursar and his staff for having been successful in delivering such complex undertakings. It finally has been particularly humbling to note the generosity of so many Jesuans and other supporters of the College in the past year. During a time when we have had to make substantial financial commitments to the College infrastructure, we have been very grateful for the support that has been provided financially, not only to our buildings but also to student support, to academic support and for special initiatives. In Cambridge colleges, these donations are often the key to creating the very special sense of collegiality valued by us all, enabling the building of understanding, deepening of insights, strengthening of character and enhancing achievement in our students. And for all of that we are immensely grateful.
