War Cloister Angel Gate
The bronze guardian angels on War Cloister gates were created by Arthur Morgan ( Director of Art School , 80 – 04 ) in 1998 to replace the originals which had been stolen sometime in the 1960s . The originals had been designed by Reginald Gleadowe ( Coll , 1901-07 ; Drawing Master , 23 – 44 ) for the newly completed War Cloister by Herbert Baker . When Arthur Morgan was commissioned for the new pair of angels , he was presented with a rather fuzzy photograph of a quality that might appear in a newspaper about a missing person . As the only record available , this allowed him the freedom to create his own vision of a guardian angel , though he did respect the spirit of the original design . For reasons he cannot recall , he did not take a cast for himself at the time and then it was discovered his moulds had been lost by the foundry . By courtesy of Win Coll he has very recently had new moulds made so that he can at last have an angel of his own . Casts can now be made to order at £ 3,250 , with 20 % going towards War Cloister . OWs interested should contact Arthur Morgan direct : artmor9 @ yahoo . co . uk

Oxford Regius Professors of Greek
On 15 th February , Christopher Pelling , Regius Professor of Greek at Oxford 2003-15 , gave an informal talk about the history of this post , which has been held by four Wykehamists ( more than any other school ) since it was established in 1541 . He described them , and some of the many other eccentric and entertaining scholars who have held it , with a delightful mix of humour and scholarship . The Headmaster has commissioned a handsome illustrated booklet of the text of his talk , copies of which can be obtained from Win Coll Soc .
