College Development Report
Bazalgette (62-71) at the Society 2014 lunch, held at the College in November. We are looking forward to working with Sir Peter to further legacy giving throughout the College community. Roger Looker
spoke to 633 OAs. In addition to sharing College news, exchanging stories and gathering updated personal details to improve events and communications, an impressive £156,606 was raised. We thank all the OAs who supported our team of callers and made a donation. We hope they enjoyed speaking to a recent leaver, learning about the College today and sharing valued advice with a young OA. A combination of new callers and veterans of our 2013 campaign, the 2014 call team was Hugo Avshu (2001-12), Dan Beese (2001-12), Felix Coid (2006-11), David Dabieh (2004-11), Zooey Gleaves (2002-13), Mike Higgs (2007-12), Andy Moss (2004-11), Jason Murugesu (2007-14), Hussain Noor (2008-13), Will Northwood (2007-12), Carl Okunubi (2006-11), Charlie Rew (2007-12), Luca Samara (2006-13), Miles Sherry (2007-12) and Matt Wilcock (2004-13). Supporting The Laboratory will remain a priority in 2015, as work begins on the second phase of construction, completion of which is planned for summer 2016. We are also beginning to plan for the next phase of our quatercentenary development programme, an ambitious transformation of bursary provision and funding that will aim to re-capture the spirit of the Dulwich Experiment that benefitted so many Old Alleynians over four decades. We look forward to sharing more with you in the year ahead and hope that we may count on the continued support of our generous community of benefactors. Future Plans

The College community was saddened to learn of the death, on 18 August 2014, of Roger Looker (63-70; Fellow), a leading supporter of the Bursary Appeal Fund who had served recently on our Development Strategy Committee. We have since been moved by the commitment of Roger’s wife, Jennifer, children, William, George and Olivia, and daughter-in-law, Emily, to continuing his efforts to provide opportunities for boys at the College. More than £30,000 has been raised since September and we are grateful to everyone who has donated. Details of the Roger Looker Award can be found online at www.dulwich.org.uk/ rogerlookerscholarship.
