FRANK FO I STER, L.M.B.C. boatman for 52 years, died at Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, 2 1 May 1 942, aged 68. The following appreciation appeared in The Cambridge Daily News:

To generations of rowing men, in the Lady Margaret Boat Club and on the whole Camside, ' Frank ' was a familiar and beloved figure.

Beginning as a boy at Logan's boathouse, he looked after the redoared crews there until the new boathouse below Victoria-Bridge was completed 40 years ago, when he became definitely attached to the Lady Margaret Club. Here day by day he said ' Hold on to your oars, gentlemen, please ', as he gently pushed the eights out into mid-stream.

His craftsmanship as a boat-builder and repairer was of a high order and many times he got the Club out of a difficulty by his ingenuity and skill. He was a skilful coach, too, especially to aspirants for the Colquhoun Sculls and to crews in the Town Regatta. For many years he could be relied upon to give a good start to the eights in the Lents and Mays.

His retirement after 50 years' service was a great loss to his club. His death will be mourned as that of one who was a real friend to rowing men and to rowing.

RETIREMENT O F MR E. A. W O O D

We regret to report the retirement owing to ill health of M r Edmund

A. Wood from his position as Chief Clerk. Mr Wood was appointed Chief Clerk in September 1936, in succession to Mr Lockhart. Soon

after his appointment work in connection with the new buildings

threw a heavy burden on the College Office, which was much in

creased by the outbreak of war, the consequent departure of members

of the staff, Air Raid Precautions and wartime difficulties of all kinds.

Mr Wood held office through these anxious and busy years and the

College is very gra.teful to him for the loyal and courteous service

which he never failed to render. In July 1941 he was himself given

leave of absence on national service, from which he returned in the Michaelmas Term 1945, but ill health prevented him from resuming

his College duties and he retired in December last. He is succeeded

as Chief Clerk by Mr A. E. Martin, who has been in the College service since 1926.
