It&#8217;s one that I had forgotten all about and is with Lord Flowers, then Rector, recorded 39 years ago in the TV Studio in October 1980. He had, a few days earlier, given his address at Commemoration Day. In that address, for the very first time, an appeal had been made to alumni for a covenant from each student of \u00a320 a year for a total of five years. He had explained that this would assist the college with approximately a quarter of a million pounds a year. Just before you&#8217;ll see this interview there is a brief sequence actually shot during that speech at the Royal Albert Hall. This is actually the very first time a Commemoration Day had been videotaped, so it&#8217;s unique for that alone.<\/p>\n<p>Here, he is talking with Mike Prosser both a presenter and a past chairman of STOIC.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Lord Flowers: October 1980\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TgYwAw4ixes?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Colin Grimshaw October 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whilst transferring more of the STOIC videotape archive into digital, I found this 39 year old interview.
