EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we find Mr. Arthur Lionel Pugh Norrington, the esteemed Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University and President of Trinity College. The portrait was skillfully captured by the renowned British artist, Stephen Ward, during a private sitting granted specifically for the Illustrated London News in 1961. At the time, Norrington was celebrated for his significant contributions to Oxford's academic community. He was instrumental in the development of the Norrington Table, an annual ranking system that assessed the performance of undergraduate students in their final year exams. This innovative approach to evaluating academic achievement brought transparency and accountability to the university system. Ward's masterful sketch of Norrington is a testament to the artist's ability to capture the essence of his subject. The Vice-Chancellor is depicted with a serious yet approachable expression, reflecting his dedication and commitment to Oxford University. The intricate details of his attire, from the stripes on his academic gown to the subtle textures of his shirt and tie, add authenticity and depth to the image. Two years after this sitting, Stephen Ward's life would take a dramatic turn. He became embroiled in the Profumo Affair, a high-profile scandal that rocked British society and led to the downfall of several prominent figures. This photograph, however, remains a poignant reminder of a time when Ward was known for his artistic talent rather than his involvement in scandal. This evocative image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1960s and the world of academia, where Norrington's groundbreaking work left a lasting impact on Oxford University.
