The meeting included a magnificent Weatherall Lecture 2012 given by Professor Nicholas White. Professor Dame Valerie Beral, Professor,Sir Rory Collins and Dr Conrad Keating all gave stimulating and inspirational lectures to a full house of appreciative alumni.

In the early evening, in the Duke Humfrey Library, Dr Allan Chapman gave a fascinating lecture to a rapt audience.

The surroundings, the smell of old leather books and old wood, Dr Chapman in academic dress, the audience, the clock chiming gently in the background, the sun shining through the old glass, the blue sky and the Radcliffe Camera just visible through the windows - almost the embodiment of the 'Oxford' experience.

 The lecture was followed by the re-dedication of the clock which Sir William Osler had given to the Bodleian Library to be placed in the Duke Humfrey Library precisely 100 years before.

The Oxford Spring Reunion Celebration  took place in the wonderful surroundings of the Divinity School. A large number of alumni and friends gathered for this annual reunion and enjoyed a most convivial evening in this stunning room.
