Sir Jonathan
Bate writes:
Your fine
obituary of
Lord Sains-
bury of Pres-
ton Cando-
ver (January
17) under-
plays his loy-
alty to Worcester College, Ox-
ford, where he was an under-
graduate. He made many
lifelong friends and built an es-
pecially strong relationship with
his tutor, the distinguished his-
torian Asa Briggs. Thanks to
this, when Briggs returned as
provost, Lord Sainsbury and his
brother, Sir Timothy, also a
Worcester man, showed their
gratitude by funding the col-
lege’s Sainsbury Building in the
early 1980s.
They took a keen interest in
its design: the first of the archi-
tect Richard MacCormac’s
splendid Oxford buildings, it
nestles around the college lake
in a style at once modern and
traditional. Lord Sainsbury
subsequently funded another
building and, recently, the refur-
bishment of the glorious 18th-
century dining Hall originally
designed by James Wyatt.
When I arrived as provost in
2011, tasked with a fundraising
campaign to triple the college’s
meagre endowment on the oc-
casion of its tercentenary, he
was the first old member I invit-
ed to tea. “I’m new to this,” I said,
“and I need your advice.” With a
twinkle in his eye, he replied, “I
take it that would be the kind of
advice spelt m-o-n-e-y.” He
promptly wrote a cheque for
£2 million to endow a fellowship
in the name of Asa Briggs.
Philip Lawford writes: Your well-
balanced obituary of Lord
Sainsbury refers discreetly to his
“outbursts”. When I was inter-
viewed by him and Lady Anya in
2003 for the position of director
of the Linbury Trust, he stated
very firmly that his greatest vir-
tue was impatience. As I got to
know him during the succeed-
ing years, while working for
Linbury, I grew to realise that his
claim was more boast than
warning.
The gift of £25 million to the
British Museum, to create the
Sainsbury Exhibitions Gallery,
was made jointly by Linbury and
the Monument Trust, the foun-
dation that had been established
by his brother Simon.John Dunlop writes: Many years
ago I worked at Sainsbury as a
mere management trainee in
the East End. Sir John, as he
then was, was a frequent visitor,
although we always knew he
was coming through efficient
store bush telegraph. I was told
very early that something was
“not JS”. It didn’t need to be ex-
plained. It’s a simple mantra on
quality standards on which I
have reflected many times.Barrie Stacey

captured
Barrie Sta-
cey’s person-
ality perfect-
ly. As a stagehand in the West
End in the 1960s and 1970s, I
came across him quite a lot, es-
pecially in his capacity as “sand-
wich maker to the stars”. I recall
an occasion at the stage door of
the Theatre Royal Haymarket
between matinee and evening
performances when, as he was
about to enter through the swing
door with his famous wicker bas-
ket, exiting stagehands, eager to
get to the pub, pushed hard in
the opposite direction. Barrie,
the basket and its contents went
flying. With only a brief cry of
reproach, he got to his knees on
the pavement and started to re-
assemble the sandwiches, mut-
tering a commentary along the
lines of: “Prawn mayonnaise,
that’s Dame Wendy; cheese sal-
ad, Peter Barkworth; beef and
tomato, that’ll be.. .”Tony Moulam

Your obitu-
ary of Tony
Moulam
(January 15)
distills the
essence of
this most
modest
mountaineer. In particular, it
drew attention to his remark-
able memory for grooves and
holds. Watching him climb was
a lesson in preparation. He
would stand at the foot of a route
patiently assessing the difficul-
ties; then he would venture a few
holds, and return to the start.
This was repeated going further
each time. Finally, he would
complete the pitch in one ballet-
ic stride, like a gazelle floating
over rough ground. Among an
elite number of great rock
climbers, he was one of them.Lord Myners
Stuart South-
all writes:
Lord Myners
(obituary,
January 17)
laid down the
principles
(originally in
March 2001)
as to best
practice governance in the
sphere of institutional invest-
ment. Although the original ten
principles (covering such things
as effective decision-making,
clear objectives, performance as-
sessment, transparency and ap-
pointment of advisers) have been
developed over the years — and
some subsumed by legislation
and regulation — the import-
ance of his work cannot be over-
stated. The original review was
issued at a time when there were
many defined benefit pension
schemes in the private sector, of
which a large proportion be-
lieved they were in surplus. That
the principles have been adapted
so as to still be relevant at a time
when many schemes are closed
and in run-off and with funding
deficits is a testament to the orig-
inal developer of this guidance.To add a view or recollection to a
