A message from the Chairman of the College Council

It gives me very great pleasure to welcome you to the King’s College London graduation ceremonies in June and July 2016.

These ceremonies are important occasions in the life of King’s and especially significant for all the students celebrating their achievements with family and friends. I am delighted that there will be so many supporters here and I know that we are all immensely proud of all those who are graduating today.

King’s maintains strong and ever-growing links with its alumni at home and abroad, and during the nine-year period of my Chairmanship of the College Council I have very much enjoyed meeting those whose lives and careers have been influenced by their education and experiences at this great university.

King’s alumni have been significant contributors to the university’s £600 million fundraising campaign, helping it to deliver global impact. Philanthropic support has funded new research to save young lives at the Evelina London Children’s Hospital; established the King’s Dickson Poon School of Law as a worldwide leader in transnational law; built a new Cancer Centre at Guy’s Hospital; fast-tracked new treatments for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, motor neurone disease, depression and schizophrenia at the new Maurice Wohl Clinical Neuroscience Institute; created the Cicely Saunders Institute for palliative care, and supported the King’s Sierra Leone Partnership in the Ebola crisis. Donations also provide more than 300 of our most promising students with scholarships and bursaries each year.

Although we are here primarily to celebrate with our graduates, we are also very pleased to mark the presentation of new fellows and honorary fellows of King’s who were elected in the past year, whose details can be found on pages 12 and 13.

I offer my congratulations to them and to all our graduates, and extend to them a warm welcome into the King’s community and to what we hope will be a long and rewarding association with the College.

The Duke of WellingtonChairman of the College Council


King’s College LondonKing’s is one of England’s oldest and most prestigious university institutions: a multi-faculty research-led university based in the heart of London, ranked as one of the world’s top 20. It offers an intellectually rigorous environment supported by welcoming and caring traditions. It has more than 27,600 students, of whom some 10,500 are postgraduates, and some 6,800 members of staff.

King’s has played a major role in many of the advances that have shaped modern life, such as the discovery of the structure of DNA, and it is now the largest centre for the education of doctors, dentists and other healthcare professionals in Europe and home to four Medical Research Council centres. King’s location in the heart of London and its strength in arts and humanities, law and the social sciences make it a major player in forging links between the arts, culture and universities, and in the development of public policy at national level. It has a very broad range of subjects which are increasingly interrelated, notably in fields such as health policy, medical humanities and bioinformatics.

Twelve people from King’s and its associated institutions have been awarded the Nobel Prize, including Professor Peter Higgs, for his proposal of the Higgs boson; Professor Michael Levitt, for the development of multiscale models for complex chemical systems; Archbishop Desmond Tutu for his role in the anti-apartheid campaign in South Africa; Professor Sir James Black OM (1924-2010) for the development of life-saving drugs; and Professor Maurice Wilkins (1916-2004) for his work on the structure of DNA.

King’s College London was founded in 1829, and when the University of London was established in 1836 King’s became one of its two founding colleges. In the course of its history, King’s has grown and developed through many mergers, which have brought institutions with their own distinguished reputations and traditions into the university. While remaining part of the University of London, King’s has enjoyed financial and academic autonomy since 1994. Since 2008 it has awarded its own degrees.

King’s College LondonGuy’s, King’s & St Thomas’ School of Medical Education and Dental Institute

Reggie The silver replica of the King’s mascot, Reggie the Lion, which is used at university ceremonial events such as degree ceremonies, was presented to King’s in 1959 ‘in appreciation of many happy years’ by Robert John Stewart McDowall (1892-1990) who was King’s Halliburton Professor of Physiology from 1923 to 1959.


Guy’s, King’s & St Thomas’ School of Medical Education and Dental InstituteThe GKT medical and dental schools were formed by the merger in 1998 of the United Medical and Dental Schools of Guy’s & St Thomas’ Hospitals and King’s College London. St Thomas’ Hospital dates from the 12th century, and medicine has been formally taught there since the 16th century. Guy’s Hospital has offered medical education since the hospital opened in the early 18th century, and dental education since Guy’s became the first general hospital in the country to establish a dental school, in 1888. The original King’s College School of Medicine was founded in 1831, and King’s College Hospital was founded in 1840. The medical school separated from King’s College in 1910 at about the time that the hospital moved from central London to Denmark Hill, and re-merged with the College in 1983. The GKT School of Medical Education is now part of the Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine at King’s, which has more than 6,000 students of whom nearly 1,700 are postgraduates, while the Dental Institute has nearly 1,300 students, including more than 500 postgraduates.

King’s College London is part of King’s Health Partners (KHP, the UK’s largest Academic Health Sciences Centre), in partnership with the leading NHS Foundation Trusts of Guy’s and St Thomas’; King’s College Hospital, and the South London and Maudsley. The aim of the partnership is to create a centre where world-class research, education and clinical practice are brought together for the benefit of patients, ensuring that the lessons from

research are used more swiftly, effectively and systematically to improve healthcare services for people with physical and mental health care problems.

Many famous dental and medical practitioners have taught at Guy’s, King’s and St Thomas’. Newland Pedley, founder of the Guy’s Dental Institute, was the first dental surgeon to accompany British troops in a war zone, during the Boer War, while Sir William Kelsey Fry led the development of maxillofacial surgery in World War I. John Keats, the Romantic poet, qualified as an apothecary or general practitioner at Guy’s in 1816, the first year that a qualification was available for this profession. Lord Lister, known as ‘the father of modern medicine’, pioneered antiseptic surgery at King’s later in the century. Thomas Addison, Richard Bright and Thomas Hodgkin, after whom Addison’s, Bright’s and Hodgkin’s diseases are named, worked at Guy’s. Winners of the Nobel Prize include Professor Charles Barkla, pioneer of X-ray spectroscopy; Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins, who made important discoveries about vitamins; Sir Charles Scott Sherrington, landmark researcher on the nervous system, and Dr Max Theiler who developed a vaccine for yellow fever. Dame Cicely Saunders, founder of the modern hospice movement, trained as a doctor at St Thomas’, and her work is continued through the Palliative Care Institute at King’s named after her, opened in 2010.


A message from the President & Principal

This is a very special occasion for today’s graduands and also for the family members and friends who have helped them on the exacting journey required to obtain a degree from one of the world’s great universities. It is also a notable day for the university community, which prides itself above all else on the achievements of its graduates.

Over the past 10 years King’s has become one of the world’s leading universities for both education and research, with academic disciplines that connect across different cultures, subject areas, institutions and geographies, and a location at the heart of London: a truly international city.

We have recently consolidated our position in the heart of the capital by acquiring Bush House Buildings: four iconic and recently refurbished buildings, including the former headquarters of the BBC World Service, adjacent to our historic Strand Campus. These will provide a modern and purpose-designed environment for our growing community of students and staff, reflecting King’s standing as a world-class university.

Building upon this impressive legacy, King’s is consolidating its position among the very greatest of the world’s universities for both education and research, and becoming a London university second to none. We are continuing to expand in scale and scope while maintaining the highest quality of education and research. We are growing our Business School with a distinctive vision: capitalising on greater links both with other faculties of King’s and with the business world. We are deepening our teaching and research expertise in cutting-edge science and technology for the 21st century. King’s Online is bringing a King’s education to greater numbers of the

best students worldwide through distance education. We are refining our focus on research and innovation across all our disciplines and reaching further across the globe to attract the best academics, students and educational partners.

This focus on strategic initiatives, combined with our underlying institutional goals, provides the backbone for a new strategic vision, which we are currently developing. King’s Futures will lead the university through to 2029: the bicentenary of King’s foundation.

I extend my warmest congratulations to all our new graduates and am confident that you will give King’s cause for great pride in the years ahead. I am delighted to welcome you into the King’s community of more than 160,000 alumni living on all continents and I send you my very best wishes for your future and your continuing links with King’s.

I hope you will enjoy the ceremony today.

Professor Edward Byrne ACPresident & Principal

I extend a very warm welcome to you all to the June and July 2016 graduation ceremonies.



News in brief

Prince William’s wildlife pleaHRH The Duke of Cambridge made a passionate plea to Chinese consumers to stop buying illegal wildlife products in a key speech at King’s in October 2015. Prince William addressed an invited audience of students and guests at the Maughan Library for a special primetime Chinese TV show. He used his speech, hours ahead of Chinese president Xi Jinping’s UK state visit, to highlight the illegal trade in products such as ivory, horn and animal parts. ‘Consumers are driving the demand for animal body parts, for art, for trinkets, or for medicine. Only we as consumers can put the wildlife traffickers out of business,’ he said. ‘I am absolutely convinced that China can become a global leader in the protection of wildlife. Your influence in the world means you could change the face of conservation in this century.’

Photograph 51 for charityMichael Grandage Company and King’s held a charity performance of Anna Ziegler’s play Photograph 51 starring Nicole Kidman as Dr Rosalind Franklin in November 2015. Proceeds from the performance supported the charitable work of the Cancer Centre at Guy’s Hospital, as part of the World questions|King’s answers campaign, and contributed to Michael Grandage Company’s education work through its charity MGCfutures. It was at King’s that Dr Franklin took the X-ray diffraction picture, Photograph 51, which led to the discovery of the structure of DNA, and around which the play is based. During rehearsals, the company visited the King’s Archives where they were shown objects crucial to the DNA discovery including the Philips micro-camera used by Franklin and Raymond Gosling; letters written by Maurice Wilkins, Francis Crick and Jim

Watson, and the original slide of Photograph 51 itself.

Counting moles for cancer riskCounting the number of moles on the right arm is predictive of the total number of moles on the whole body and could help GPs to more easily identify people at the highest risk of developing a melanoma (skin cancer), King’s researchers have shown. Data from nearly 3,600 female Caucasian twins helped to show that the count of moles on the right arm was most predictive of the total number on the body. Women with more than seven moles on their right arm had nine times the risk of having more than 50 on their whole body and those withmore than 11 on their right arm were more likely to have over 100 on their body in total, meaning they were at a higher risk of developing a melanoma.

Hollywood stars for ShakespeareKing’s opened a star-studded celebration of Shakespeare in Los Angeles on 23 April: the 400th anniversary of the playwright’s death. As part of ‘Britweek’ and Shakespeare400, King’s academic Dr John Lavagnino opened a performance by actors including Michael York, Joely Fisher, Harry Hamlin, Sir Patrick Stewart, Stacy Keach and Jimmy Akingbola. Shakespeare400 is a consortium of leading cultural, creative and educational institutions in and around London, creating a season of events to celebrate four hundred years of Shakespeare. Co-ordinated by the London Shakespeare Centre and the Cultural Institute at King’s, it includes theatre, music, opera, dance, ballet, educational events, and exhibitions including a unique show in King’s Inigo Rooms, in partnership with The National Archives, which brought together nine

priceless Shakespeare documents, including Shakespeare’s will, to explore key moments in his career.

Brain stimulation and anorexia Core symptoms of anorexia nervosa, including the urge to restrict food intake and feeling fat, are reduced after just one session of a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, according to King’s research published in March 2016. The new study is the first randomised control trial to assess whether repetitive transcranial stimulation (rTMS), already an approved treatment for depression, is also effective in reducing symptoms of anorexia. The technique alters neural activity by delivering magnetic pulses to specific regions of the brain, which feels like a gentle tapping sensation on the side of the head. In the study, 49 people completed food exposure and decision-making tasks, both before and after a session of either real or placebo rTMS. Given the promising findings from the study, researchers are now assessing whether rTMS has longer-lasting therapeutic benefits in a world-first clinical trial of rTMS treatment, involving 20 rTMS sessions, in people with anorexia nervosa.

Henry VIII clauses proliferateThe proliferation of ‘Henry VIII clauses’ and the increased use of delegated legislation represents a threat to parliamentary control over the executive, warned Lord Judge, former Lord Chief Justice, at a special event hosted by The Dickson Poon School of Law at King’s in April 2016. These clauses provide ministers with the power to change key primary legislation through delegated legislation and take their name from a misunderstanding of the provisions of the Statute of Proclamations of 1539. In fact, the House of Commons that year stood firm


against a proposal that proclamations by the King should have the same force in law as a statute. ‘I venture to suggest that the [Commons] would have been appalled at the modern legislative habit of bestowing what we call Henry VIII powers on any old Secretary of State’, Lord Judge said, explaining that of the 170,000 statutory instruments that have been laid before parliament in the last 65 years only one in 10,000 have been rejected by either the House of Commons or the House of Lords. None have been rejected in the Commons since 1979.

Honorary doctoratesFive honorary doctorates of King’s have been awarded in the academic year 2015-16. At a special ceremony in October 2015 the Chairman of Council and the President & Principal conferred honorary degrees upon Professor Linda H Aiken, a global leader in nursing and health services and policy research; Dr Andrew Mackenzie FRS, Chief Executive Officer of BHP Billiton, and Professor Maria Fidela de Lima Navarro, an academic dentist of international distinction. Nobel Prize winners Professor Roger Tsien and Professor Stefan Hell received honorary doctorates of King’s in November 2015 and April 2016 respectively, following major lectures at King’s.

Vitamin C could protect against cataractsThe first twin study to examine whether genetic and environmental factors influence the progression of cataracts with age has shown that higher dietary intake of vitamin C has a potentially preventative effect. Cataract is a common condition in which the lens of the eye becomes cloudy as a result of oxidation over time, and cataract

surgery is the most common operation performed in the UK, with more than 300,000 procedures carried out each year. The study, led by King’s and published in the journal Ophthalmology, looked at the progression of cataracts in the eyes of 324 pairs of female twins from the Twins UK registry over 10 years, by examining photographs of the participants’ lenses and measuring their intake of vitamin C through a food questionnaire. The fluid in the eye that bathes the lens is high in vitamin C, which helps to stop the lens from oxidising and protects it from becoming cloudy, and it is thought that increased intake of vitamin C increases the vitamin C available in the eye fluid.

Nursing ranked first in UKNursing at King’s has been ranked first in the UK in the 2016 QS World University Rankings. These tables highlight the world’s top universities across 42 popular subject areas, and this is the first year that nursing has been included in the subject list. Institutions are assessed on academic reputation, citations to publications and employer reputation, with King’s Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing & Midwifery scoring 89.6 per cent overall, with 99.9 per cent for academic reputation and 87 per cent for citations per paper.

World’s most international universitiesKing’s has been placed in the top 20 in the Times Higher Education ‘Most International Universities’ 2016 rankings. These take account of each institution’s proportion of international staff and international students, and research papers published with at least one co-author from another country. The result is a testament to how King’s cross-boundary, multi-disciplinary

collaboration with the best international partners is helping to find answers to global questions in health, sustainability, culture and identity, and defence and security, and shows how the university’s connection and engagement with the world’s emerging powers and economies helps to make it a thought-leader in numerous fields.

New Year’s Honours for King’sKing’s staff who were recognised in the 2016 New Year’s Honours list include Professor Til Wykes, Vice-Dean of Psychology & Systems Science and Professor of Clinical Psychology & Rehabilitation, who was awarded a damehood for services to clinical psychology. Professor Wykes has been an international leader in understanding and advancing the rehabilitation and recovery for people with severe mental illness. Professor David Cowan, Professor of Pharmaceutical Toxicology and Director of the Drug Control Centre at King’s, led the anti-doping project for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and received an OBE for his services to anti-doping science. Kim Wolff, Professor of Addiction Science in the Institute of Pharmaceutical Science, received a MBE for public service to road safety. Professor Wolff led the independent panel which produced the Department for Transport Expert Drug-Driving Report in 2013. At least 12 King’s alumni also received honours in this list.

Academic dress

Until 2008 King’s graduates wore the academic dress of the University of London which, like all academic dress, is based on mediaeval costume. Graduates of the University of London have been formally presented to the Chancellor of the University since 1849, and the first public presentation ceremony of the University was held in King’s Great Hall in 1850. From 1903 to 1992 this University ceremony was continued in the Royal Albert Hall, and King’s first held its own ceremony in 1989. In 1995, the University of London granted its constituent colleges the power to confer degrees on behalf of the University. In 2007, in line with the evolution of the University of London into a federation of colleges each awarding their own degrees, King’s successfully petitioned the Privy Council to be granted degree-awarding powers in its own right. These powers were first used in 2008.

One of the more noticeable impacts of securing its own degree-awarding powers was the need for King’s to design its own academic dress, and we are most grateful to Dame Vivienne Westwood for the major role she played in the design and also to Ede & Ravenscroft for their expertise in the production of the academic dress. The new gowns and hoods have colours which reflect King’s faculties and levels of degree, and a unique feature of the gowns is the King’s lion button on each shoulder.

The various officers of King’s wear their official robes, and members of the academic staff wear the academic dress of the university from which they graduated, which includes that of other universities in Britain and around the world.

Undergraduate, first degree and master’s level graduates wear a black gown, and a black hood attached to the gown on each shoulder with a King’s lion button. The hood is bound with the faculty colour, with the binding extending over the shoulders. For master’s level graduates the sleeve vents of the gown and the cape of the hood are also bound in the school colour.

Master of Philosophy (MPhil) graduates wear a black gown, and a black hood attached to the gown on each shoulder with a King’s lion button. The sleeve vents, cape and cowl are bound in blue with the binding extending over the shoulders.

Research degree (PhD/MD(Res)) graduates wear a dark red gown, and a dark red hood attached to the gown on each shoulder with a King’s lion button. The sleeve vents, cape and cowl are bound in blue with the binding extending over the shoulders.

Specialist doctors (EdD/DClinPsy/DHC/DrPS/DThMin) graduates wear a blue gown, and a blue hood attached to the gown on each shoulder with a King’s lion button. The sleeve vents, cape and cowl are bound in dark red with the binding extending over the shoulders.

Graduates who have completed the Associateship of King’s College also wear an epitoge, embroidered with the King’s lion ‘Reggie’, buttoned to the left shoulder. The AKC was King’s original qualification, first awarded in 1835. It provides an opportunity to think about fundamental questions of theology, philosophy and ethics in a contemporary context.

From the Chairman of the King’s College London Alumni Association (KCLA)

On behalf of our Alumni Association (KCLA), I would like to congratulate you today and personally welcome you to the King’s alumni community. I know this is a very proud day for you and your families as you leave King’s with your King’s degree, a qualification which gives you a great start on the next part of your life’s journey. Staying in touch with King’s will help you build on the benefits you have already gained as well as being a fun and very fulfilling experience as you embark on your careers or further study.

The Alumni Association represents all alumni in the affairs of King’s and works very closely with the University’s Alumni Office to ensure that alumni stay in touch and get to experience all that is on offer for life after King’s. This includes cultural, sporting and academic activities that we would like alumni to continue to participate in. Our Council of elected alumni organises a series of prestige events; lectures, themed dinners and debates drawing on the strengths of the cosmopolitan community that is King’s.

Once again, on behalf of the whole alumni community, congratulations!

Stephen Challacombe (Dentistry, Guy’s, 1968)Chairman, King’s College London Alumni Association


The Cathedral & Collegiate Church of St Saviour & St Mary Overie, Southwark

In 606 a Convent was established on the south bank of the River Thames at the place from which the ferry used to cross over to the City of London. In 1106 an Augustinian Priory was established. From here they ministered to pilgrims and travellers, and to the sick and the needy of the area and the Word of God was faithfully preached and the sacraments celebrated. As part of their ministry, the Hospital of St Thomas was established (now located opposite the Houses of Parliament).

Following the Reformation, the Priory Church became a Parish Church. In many ways the building was sadly neglected but the gospel continued to be faithfully preached and the people of the parish cared for and taught. A parish school – now Cathedral School – was opened in 1704 following in the work already established in schools founded from the parish under a charter from Queen Elizabeth I.

The life, diversity and character of the area are revealed in the tombs and monuments within the church. Among them is that of John Gower (c. 1330-1408), poet and friend of Chaucer, whose Canterbury Tales begin in Southwark. Across the nave is a memorial to William Shakespeare, who spent much of his life in Southwark, and above it, a stained glass

window depicting scenes from his plays. Edmund Shakespeare, John Fletcher and Philip Massinger are all buried in the Cathedral. Lancelot Andrewes, who translated the first five books of the Bible into English, is buried by the High Altar. He is a founding father of the Church of England. In the grounds is buried Mahomet, Chief of the Mohegan Tribe from New England and a memorial to him can be found in the churchyard.

Today in old and new buildings, this Cathedral continues to serve the people of its parish and the people of the diocese, to be a centre of teaching, of worship, prayer and pilgrimage; a place of inclusive welcome for all people. This continues to be a place of major regeneration and change as Bankside has once again become a residential area, a playground for London and a place where the arts are celebrated, as well as a growing centre for political, financial and legal decision making. Southwark Cathedral is the constant factor in an ever changing and exciting community in which we continue to proclaim a gospel of radical engagement with God and the world.

We therefore welcome you to this holy place which is both ancient and modern. Together we continue to serve the people of

this area – those who are passing through, crossing the river, making a new home, coming to work or simply here to enjoy themselves – and the people who live here, in much the same way as our forebears did and with all those who have gone before us we do it all from a place of praise and worship of Almighty God.
