Bad news for those who look forward to the annual Committee of Vice Chancellors and Principals' garden party. CVCP parliamentary worker Mary Morgan, long-time vigilant gatekeeper for the event, got to work with the office shredder before her recent departure to a job at the House of Lords. The victims of her desire to leave her successor with a tidy desk included the garden party files. If there is a 1997 party, it will have to make do with a new list compiled by the, possibly less discriminating, surviving denizens of 29, Tavistock Square.
