Oxford, OX1 3DR Websile www.lincoln.ox.ac.uk REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION Lincoln College {'the College,) is an eleemosynary Chartered charilable corporation. The full corporale designation of the Collège is 'The Warden or Roctor and Scholars of the College of the Blessed Mary and All Saints, Lincoln, in the University of Oxford. commonly called Lincoln College.. The College was founded by Richard Fleming, Bishop of Lincoln, under a Royal Charter of King Henry Vl, datèd 13 October 1427, and a Deed of Foundation of 1429. The corporation comprises the Rector and Fellows. The names of all Members of the Governing Body and of those in office during the year, together with details of the senior staff and advisors of the College, are given on pages 2 to 5. The College registered with the Charities Commission on 3 December 2010. Its registered number is 1139261. LINCOLN COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Yaar ended 31 July 2024 STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Gov&rning documents The College is governed by its Statutes, dating from 1478, and most recently updated in 2003. Governing Body The Governing Body is constituted and regulated in accordance with the College Slalutes, the terms of which are enforceable ultimately by the Visitor, the Bishop of Lincoln. The Governing Body is a self-appointing corporate body. Membership is subject to review and renewal and lapses with retirement from office. New members of the Governing Body are elecled when they are appointed to Tutorial, Professorial or Official Fellowships with the College. Tutorial and Professorial Fellows are elected on the basis of their experience of and contribution to education and research in their field of study. College Officers appointed as Official Fellows are elected for the professional andlor administrative skills and qualifications that will enable them to contribute to the Governing Body s management of the College. Some Tutorial Fellows and all Professorial Fellows hold their College posts in conjunction with posts held at Oxford University. Other Tutorial Fellows and those College Officers who have been appointed to specific administrative or managerial roles in the College are College-only appointees. The Governing Body determines the strategic direction of the College and regulates its administration and the managemenl of its finances and assets. It meets regularly with the Reclor as chair and is advised by its various committees. Recruitment and training of Members of the Governing Body New Members ofthe Governing Body are recruited when they join the College as Tutorial, Professorial or Official Fellows. Recruitment to these posts may be in one of two ways. If the post is one that is joinlly appointed by Ihe College and by Oxford University (as is the case for some Tutorial Fellows and all Professorial Fellows), the recruitment exercise will have been conducted jointly by the College and the relevant department of the University, with representatives of both entilies serving on the selection panel. If the post is one whose appointment is solely at the discretion of the College (as is the case for some Tutorial Fellows and Official Fellows such as the Senior Tutor, the Bursar and the Development Director), the recruitment process will have been managed entirely by the Rector and Fellows of the College, aided by expert advisers from outside the College. New Fellows are formally elected to the Governing Body as soon as is practicable after appoinlment to their Fellowship,. they take Ihe College oath at the first available meeting of the Governing Body. Induction into the workings of the College, including Governing Body policy and procedures, is by means of meetings with senior colleagues. New Fellows do not vote al Governing Body meetings during their first year in office: they therefore do not become trustees of the charity until they have been in post for one year. New trustees are provided with guidance documents issued by the Charity Commission and trustee training sessions are made available to members of the Governing Body. LINCOLN COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2024 Remuneration of Members of the Governing Body and Senior College Staff Members of the Governing Body who are primarily Fellows are taaching and research employees of the College and receive no remuneration or benefils from their trusteeship of the College. Those trustees that are also employees of the College receive remuneration for their work as employees of the College that is based on the advice of the College's Remuneration Committee, members of which are not in receipt of remuneration from Ihe College. Where possible, remuneration is set in line with that awarded to the University's academi¢ staff. Organisational management The members of the Governing Body meet at least nine times each year. The work of developing the Governing Body's policies and monitoring their implementation is carried out by a number of Committees, of which some are Committees of the Governing Body and others are Committees overseeing particular funclions of the College.

Implementation of the Governing Body's policies and decisions is undertaken by College Officers, chief among whom are the Rector, the Bursar, the Senior Tutor, the Senior Dean, the Development Director, and the Domestic Operations Manager. The Officers are assisted by members ofthe College's staff and, from 1st October 2024, supported by a Clerk to the Trustees. Group slructure and relationships The College administers many special trusts, as detailed in Notes 19 and 20 to the financial statements. There are two charitable bodies which are constituted independently of the College and whose objects are solely for the benefit of the College and its members. These are the Lincoln College Michael Zilkha Trust Iregislered charity number 10951131 whose object is to support the educalional andlor research activities of the Fellows of Lincoln College.. and the Lincoln 2027 Trust {registered charity number 1136816) whose objecl is to raise and accumulate funds to provide new and substantial financial support for the College. The College has two wholly owned non-charitable subsidiaries. These are= LinGoln College Enterprises Limited, which undertakes major building and refurbishment works relating to the College's premises", and Lincoln College Trading Limited, which undertakes the College's conference business and catering or accommodation services provided to non-college members. Annual profils of the subsidiaries are donated to the College under the Gift Aid Scheme. The College is part of the collegiale University of Oxford. Material interdèpondencies between the Univer51ty and the College arise as a Consequen￿ of this relationship. LINCOLN COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2024 OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Charitable Objects and Aims The College's objects are the advancement of education, study, and rasearch in particular through the provision, support and maintenance of a college in Oxford., the advancement of religion, including the provision and support of a chapel in accordance with the principles of the Church of England. The aims set for the College's subsidiaries are to help to finance the achievemenl of the College's objects. The Governing Body has considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and in keeping wilh its objects, the College's aims for the public benefit are.. to admit students and to appoint academic staff solely on the basis of academic merit and potenlial, without regard to sex, gender. ethnic origin, religion, disability or financial circumstances,. to provide financial support to students, both from its own resources and in conjunction with the wider collegiate University., to honour the College's commitment to participation in bursary schemes organised in the name of Oxford University (e.g. the Oxford Bursary); to Gommit resources to programmes of outreach and access, initiated both by the College and by the University" to welcome members of the Pltsblic as visitors to the College and to its events and facilities,. to preserve and share its heritage. The College takes very seriously its commitment to provide financial support for its students. In 2023-24 the College maintained an extensive programme of financial support for undergraduate and postgraduate students, in the form of bursaries (to assist with living costs), hardship support (to assist with unexpected rinancial difficulties) and scholarships (awarded in recognition of particular academic merit) amounting in total to more than £1.831 million. The support from the College was given in addition to any support students may have derived from govemment-sponsored sources such as the Student Loans Company. Lincoln participated in the University's fee-waiver programme, subsidising undergraduate tuition. Fifty Lincoln undergraduate students received bursaries of up to £5,800 each via the Oxford Bursary Schemes. In total, in addition to fee reductions, the College contributed £70,280 to the Oxford Bursary Schemes. The College notes in particular the generosity of alumni that has made possible additional support for undergraduales from less-privileged backgrounds. One hundred and three students were awarded an aggregate £188,621 from Lord Crewe's Charity and from the CLtthbert, Kingsgate. Henrey, Black5taffe. Bearley, Mary Kift Legacy., Millerchip. Finn and Featherstone funds. The College made additional grants and loans totalling £53,106 to undergraduates who experienced varying degrees of financial hardship. Scholarships, prizes and academic grants were awarded to undergraduate students to reward academic excellence and to encourage academic endeavour.. in 2023-24, the total awarded was £56,331. In 2023-24, 208 post-graduate students were the recipients of scholarships, studentships and bursaries amounting to £1,361,274. Lincoln now has an extensive programme of graduate scholarships and grants. However, il continues to be challenging to provide sufficient funding for graduatos in Humanities and Social Sciences. LINCOLN COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2024 The financial support provided by the College through bursaries and scholarships enables the College lo admit students of the highest academic ability who would not otherwise have been able to study in the College. Although the primary beneficiaries of the College's work are its residenl members, both students and academic staff directly engaged in education, learning and research, olher beneficiaries also include.. students and academic staff from other colleges and of Oxford University as a whole". visiting academics from other universities,. schoolchildren visiting the College for introductory sessions., and alumni of the College and other visitors, including members of Ihe general public, who may attend educational events such as concerts, exhibitions and Chapel services and have accèss to the gardens and historic buildings. During 2023-24, the College hosted a number of events for the benefit of the wider public. The College makes availablè its newly renovated accommodation in the Mitre building to the public for guest accommodation. Opening the College to other students. prospective students and academic Staff, in addition to the public, enables the College's facilities to be of benefil to the public. Outreach The College has acted on it its commitment to programmes of outreach designed to improve acce5S to Oxford University. The Access and Career Development Fellow {ACDF)was appointed and started in September 2021. The College has a full-time Access Officer. whose role is to encourage applicalions to Oxford, particularly from our link regions of Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire and the North East. The Access Officer, together with the ACDF, Fellows and Tutors ofthe College, undertook a programme of events, including visits to schools and study days for individuals. These included two-day workshops for History and the Ancient World, English Literature and a new separate stream for Modern Languages, alongside Physics and Engineering. Admissions test workshops were held, with the support of fellows and tLJtor5. for Target Oxbridge. In 2023-24. 36 events were organised for schools in our link regions of Lincolnshire and Northamplonshire and with consortium partners in both the East Midlands and North East- many of these events involved contact with more than one school. A further 22 were held. solely or in collaboration with partners, that were extra-regional or non-regional. The College's flagship programme- Pathfinders, is an educational and aspirational enrichment intervention aimed at 13-16-year-olds in our linked regions who are eligible for free school meals. There have been four events for Pathfinders so far with others planned for September 2024 and March 2025. After this, the 'alumni network, component of the programme will become active. Eighty pupils are currently enrolled across three cohorts. In 2023-24. the College's expenditure on activities assoGiated with oulreaGh work and the recruitment of new students was £165,200. The College is not aware of any detriment or harm arising from carrying out its charitable objects. There are no geographical restriclions in the College's objects- students and acadernic staff are drawn from around the world. There are no age restrictions in the College's objects (though it is lo be rTOted that most students of Ihe College are aged between 18 and 25}. The College's objects do not imply any restrictions as to religious behaviour or belief. Activities and Objectives of the College The principal foGus of the College's activities is on its academic work.. that is, high-quality research and the education of new generations of students, both in a wide range of subj8Ct areas. The College maintains and develops the experience of a residential communily whose senior and student members are engaged in the pursuit of academic excellence. To this end, the College provides facilities for study in the form of teaching and seminar rooms, lecture theatres. computer facilities and co-operative access to the laboratories. libraries 10 LINCOLN COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2024 and other facilities provided by Oxford University. The extensive Library and Archive constitute a valuable resource for members of the College and for others by arrangement. The College also provides a sufficient number of study bedrooms to accommodate many tutors and the majority of its students as well as facilities consistent with the provision of an all-round education (a sports ground, a boalhouse and spaces for musiG, art and drama). ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE During the year 2023-24, Lincoln College has registered significant achievements consistent with its two charitable objects. Students In conjunction with Oxford University. Lincoln College provides an education, intemationally recognised as being of the highest standard. for 697 undergraduate and postgraduate students from all over the world. This education develops students. academic abilities. interpersonal skills and leadership qualities and prepares them for full and effective roles in society. The College provides teaching facilities together with academic, administrative and pastoral support to its undergraduate and postgraduate students. The College continued in its principal work of preparing students for examination in a range of subjects and al various levels at Oxford University. Undergraduate numbers totalled approximately 327 spread over three or four years of study, in line wilh Lincoln's long-standing policy of providing full tutorial provision, pastoral care and residential accommodation for this number of students. Much of the education provided to undergraduate students is via the tutorial system, by which students meet their tutors individually or in small groups on a weekly basis dLAring term for in-depth discussion of pieces of prepared work. In addition to tutorials, the College also provides classes and seminars in conjunction with departments ofthe Univefslty. Ninety-two undergraduate students (excluding Clinical Medicine students) in their third or fourth year of stLAdy completed the Final Honours School in 2024, with 37 being placed in the First Class or achieving a Distinction and 52 being awarded a 2-.1 degree or achieving a Merit. Post-graduate students nufflbered approximately 370 throughoul the year, with approximately 70 per cent of students undertaking lengthy programmes of research (leading, for example, to doctoral-level degrees) and 30 per cent undertaking shorter, structured courses of tuition leading to examination. Each postgraduale student is assigned a College advisor who provides academic advice and pastoral support., the College-appointed Tutor for Graduates maintains overall oversight of postgraduates, welfare and academic progress. Forty-four sludents were granted leave to supplicate for their DPhil degrees during the year., and of the 52 studenls who passed examinations for their post-graduate qualifications in the summer of 2024, 18 achieved a Distinction and 23 achieved a Merit. The College continued to encourage education in its broadest sense, supporting its student members in a wide range of cultural and sporting activities and in service to others. Forty-three members of the College received awards from the College's Blues Fund, which not only rewards students for representing University teams, but helps them to fulfil their aspirations in sports, including rowing, tennis, rugby, badminton, cycling and swimming, to name but a few. VacProj is a Lincoln student charity which organises and hosts holidays for under-privileged Oxfordshire children. 11 LINCOLN COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2024 Fellows and Lecturers The College advances research by..

Darby Fellow in Law. In addition, we are joined by the HR Woudhuysen Junior Research Fellow in Material Cullure, Dr Thomas Cooper,. and the new Chaplain and Lord Crewe Career Development Fellow, Rev Df Jonathan Torrance. The College thanks Dr Joshua Bennett. Dr Christophe Schmitt-maass, Dr Harriel Soper, Dr Yoel Klug and Professor Loda, Newton-Abraham Visiting Professor all ofwhom left Ihe College in 2023-2024. Fellows. Research Senior members of the College combined their teaching and educational dulles with research work of the highest quality in 2023-24. There follows a representative list of notable research achievements by Fellows and academic researchers associated with the College.. LoL¢iS-Pierre Arguin (MathematiC5} This year Professor Arguin delivered lectures at the Mathematical Institute for a fourth-year and Masters course on Random Matrix Theory. a fascinating subject with deep connections to mathematical physics, mathematical finance, and machine learning. His research explores one of these directions further: the strange appearance of random matrix statistics in number theory, the field of mathematics focused on prime numbers, in particular. Professor Arguin submitted four articles on the subject this year, two of them with his DPhil students at Ihe Institute. He is also currently writing a book that maps out the r8cent progress in Ihis research area, entitled Extr6me Value Theory of the Riemann Zeta Function.. A Probabilislic Approach. Professor Arguin was honored to have been invited to share his results around the counlfy in seminars at Bristol, Queen Mary, Warwick, and at the World Congress in Probability in Germany. 12 LINCOLN COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2024 Peter Atkins (Chemistry) Professor Alkins had only one book this year, but two others are in the works. He completely rewrote and re- illustrated Concepts in Physical Chemistry, originally published in 1995. It is a 400-page, alphabeti¢ally organized, fully illustrated encyclopaedia of concepts. Through the Royal Society of Chemistry, its online version is frea to download. He is ragarding it as a gift to the Chèmical community. Radu Coldea (Physics) Over the past academic year, Professor Coldea together with his research group has continued to explore experimentally the properties of magnetic materials thal realise slrongly-interacting quantum systems. Of particular interest have been materials with layered structures, where the magnetic ions are arranged in well- separated honeycomb layers. In such geometries in the presence of strong spiri orbit COLtplings, the interactions between magnetic ions can become strongly frustrated and the quanluTn problem of how the magnetic momenls behave in this case is not solved. Rare-earth ions are particularly interesting to explore experimentally as they have extremely strong spin-orbit couplings, but progress in experimentally studying their properties has been hampered by major materials synthesis challenges. A recent highlight of research from his group is the successful synthesis for the first time of single crystals of a honeycomb oxide based on the rare-earth Praseodymium ion., it will be exciting to perform further in-depth experiments on this novel material. Another direction of research this past year has been the dynamics in tfansition-metal oxides that realize strongly-frustrated triangular magnetic layers" here neutron scattering experiments on single crystals in high applied magnetic fields have revealed very rich dynamics, which are currently compared with theoretical models of quantum dynamics. Over the past academic year, Professor Coldea has given invited presentations on research in his group in Ringberg (Germany). Trieste {Italy), Chennai (India), Aspen Center for Physics (USA), and Wa￿iCk (UK). This academic year he has also had the honour of being elected a Fellow of the American Physical Sociely for 'significant conlrrbutions to the understanding of quantum magnetism and quantum phase transitions using neutron and resonanl x-ray scattering.. Stefan Enchelmaier (Law) Professor Enchelmaier spent his academic year mostly teaching and examining. Teaching Lincoln's first year- students Roman law as well as European Union Law lo the finalists of Lincoln, Corpus Christi, New College, and Wadham in Michaelmas was followed in Hilary by revision in both subjects, and by 15 hours of EU law for Keble's finalists. Marking Roman Law Moderations took up most of the interval bebNeen HT and TT. Trinity was filled with tutorials and pre-tutorial classes in contract law for Lincoln's first-years", the first-years of Exeter College participated in the pre-tutorial classes. Marking FHS and BCLIMJur exam scripts lasted into late July. and was followed by teaching on the second iteration of Lincoln's Summer Academic Programme. For the Faculty, he gave an introduction to the English law of contract for civil lawyers about to begin their studies towards the Magister Juris. lectL¢red on European trade law, and held seminars on the Roman law of delicts. He also led one seminar session each on the relationship European Union law and national {private} law, and on wmparative private law. Professor Enchelmaier completely updated his contribution to a commentary on German and European competition law, on the occasion of thg adoption, since the last edition120211, of Block Exemplion Regulation (EU) No. 20221720 on Vertical Agreements. No. 202311066 on Research and Developmer7t Agreements, and No. 202311067 on Specialisation Agreements. The Liber Amicorum for Professor Stephen Weatherill was published with a contribution of his on the influance of the organisation of the Court of Justice of the European Union on the (shortcomings in the) jurisprudence on the free movement of goods in the European internal market. He gave a presenlation based on this contribution in March at a symposium in honour of Professor Vveatherill at Sometville College. In the first week of October, he was at the Faculty of Law of Mazaryk 13 LINCOLN COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2024 University in Brnolcz. where he gave lectures on Block Exe.mption Regulation IEU) No. 20221720 on Vertical Agreements, on the legal structure of the Eu's internal market, and on a comparison between British and continental higher education. He also led an intensive doctoral seminar with four participants at the Faculty, and had a discussion with a judge al the Czech Constitutional Court. Perry Gauci (History) This year Dr Gauci made some headway on several projects. He completed his research on London's eighteenth-century bankers. and a book manuscript was submitted to the Oxford University Press in the autumn. He was also able lo make significant strides in his research for the College's 600th anniversary celebrations, and he has enjoyed the chance to immerse himself in the lives of many generalions of Lincolnites. He has revelled in the opportunities lo engage with new sources, themes, and perspectives, and looks forward to sharing these Lincoln stories soon. Jack Kelly (Matherrtatics} Dr Kelly returned to Lincoln as Darby Fellow in Pure Mathematics after a three-year period as Simons Postdoctoral Research Fellow in his home city of Dublin. Upon starting back at Lincoln. he was immediately reminded how enjoyable and invigorating an experience it is lo tutor bright students. As was the case during his last stint here he has mainly been te.aching the algebra courses, but this time he has especially enjoyed being able to bring a pure mathematical spin to the Multivariable Calculus and Differential EqL¢ations courses. During his first year back. the College has provided a produclive research environment= his monograph, Homotopy Theory in Exact Categories, which has been published in the Memoirs of the American Mathematical Society. and he has Completed drafts of his jointly co-authored book A Perspective on the Foundations of Derived Analytic Geometry. as well as his paper'Flat model structures for accessible exact categories,. The summer has also been a busy one for research activity. including co-organising a conference at the University of Padova and a research visit to the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences in Edinburgh. Mark Kirby {Hi51oryl This year has mostly been one of writing up three years of research on the architectural history of the College Chapel into a book. He holds that architectural history is as much about Ihe beliefs, politics, culture, and people of the time as it is about style and who built what. Especially in ecclesiastical architecture. understanding a building like the College's Chapel also requires understanding the religious and political turmoil of the pre-civil War poriod, and delving into the psyche of Bishop John Williams, the man who gave the Chapel to the College. The book is nearly done and is due for publication in 2027 on the 600th anniversary of the foundation of the College. He is grateful lo Professor Woudhuysen for having commissioned the book and lo the College for supporting him through the project. He is looking forward lo returning to the archives shorlly to research the College Library- All Saints church as was- to Contribute one chapter to a wider book on the College's architectural history. 14 LINCOLN COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2024 Roel Konijnendijk (Ancient History) The lasl year has been another teaching-heavy year, but with several highlights. Dr Konijnendijk was delighted to teach Ihe 'Achaemenid Pérsia, 550-330 BC, paper for the first time. This is a fairly new class- taught paper offered centrally at the Classics Faculty, but one that Lincoln's entire second-year cohort in both AMH and CAAH chose to take. At the request of his students, he also organised an informal waekly reading group on ancient warfare (his own research field). This reading group began with three Lincoln undergraduates and ended the year with 19 students from 6 differenl colleges attending. His research on aspects of Greek warfare continues slowly but steadily. Forthcoming chapters déal with war and finance, Greek masculinity, the Athenian civil war of 403 BC, and the military legacy of the Spartans. Good progress has finally been made on his second edited volume, The Economics of Waf in Ancient Greece, which will appear with Bloomsbury in late 2024. Andrew Lewis (Medicine) This year. in addition to his clinical commitments, Df Lewis has secured a major external research fellowship from the British Heart Foundation which will enable him lo build and develop his research programme in Oxford over the next 5 years. He has also published a number of further research articles and has given an invited lecture at the European Society of Cardiology Congress which was held in LorTrdon over the summer. His group will have further presentations at intemalional meetings later this year. Dr Lewis is grateful to the College for the opportunities afforded by the Kemp Fellowship which have been invaluable throughout this career phase. Peter Mccullough (English) Professor Mccullough is preparing the next volume of the Donne sermons edition (Oxford University Press). Related to the Donne edilion, he was pleased to offer a lecture on the theology of Donne's christening sermons in the 'Recollection Series, al Pusey House. where he found the College's former chaplain, the Rev. Dr. George Weslhaver, on fine form. He was delighted to offer the address at a Michaelmas evensong at Balliol, at the invitation of another of the former College chaplains, the Rev. Dr. Melanie Marshall, and to contribute to a special evensong with readings from Donne's Devotions led by Lincoln DPhil the Rev. Dr. Erica Longfellow, Dean of Divinity at New College. He was pleased to have a full house in the College's Chapel for a lecture and reading of one of Donne's sermons for the Oxford Literary Feslival in April, back by popular demand after a debut the previous year. Professor Mccullough also represented the College at the enthronement of the new Bishop of Lincoln, the Rt. Rev. Stephen Conway (a great friend of the College and former Lord Crewe Trustee) in his Cathedral in November. A further aGademic highlight was attendin9 an outstanding British Academy symposium on music in the early modern Chapel Royal at Burlington House in June, where Professor Mccullough had the pleasure of offering thè concluding remarks. In College, Professor Mccullough concludes his term as the College's first Anti-Racism Advocate where he advocated tho College's meaningfijl and robust commitment to inclusion and diversity- He participated in the College's outstanding residential summer school for students from disadvantaged backgrounds, offering a lecture that introduces 14-year-olds to the joys of the sonnot. He also undertook archival resaarch for the first time since the pandemic, in the London Melropolilan Archivè, The National Archive, Lambeth Palace Library, and the Norfolk Record Office. Professor Mccullough serves as Garden Fellow, overseeing Mike Hawkins, the Head Gardener in the College, and his team as they push horticultural and sustainability standards ever further wilh a winning combination of knowledge, skill, kindness, and commitmonl to the ethos of Lincoln. LINCOLN COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2024 Rebecca Menmuir {Englishl Over the past academic year, Dr Menmuir has seen her first monograph through final revisions.. Mediaval Responses to Ovid's Exile is due to appear with Cambridge University Press in the forthcoming year. As part of her ongoing research on medieval forgeries of Ovid, she prodlsced an article editing the glosses to the pseudo-ovidian De vetula. Elsewhere Dr Menmuir submilled an article arguing that the pseudo-ovidian Nux is in fact genuinely Ovidian. which she is now revising. She edited a special issue on 'Forging the Medieval, in postmedieval, and her edited volume Authenticity in Medieval and Early Modern Literature was contracted with De Gruyter, submitled. and revised. Five of her book reviews were published, with two more forthcoming. She became the Associale Editor of Chapters 2-5 of the Year's Work in English Studies, as well as contributing chapters on Chaucer and Gower, and she also wrote for the online Gower bibliography. Several of these projects were supported by presenting at conferences in Rome, Pasadena, Leeds, and Melbourne. Dr Menmuir has greatly enjoyed organising several events based on her interests in Neo-Latin and historic cities. This included a coricert of Early Modern music at St Bartholomew the Great Church and walking tours on Early Modern Latin and Refomation Smithfield. In November she will host a day celebrating Giordano Bruno, including walks following his Cena de le Ceneri along the Stiand and a talk with Stephanie Merritt on her novel Heresy- a sixteenth-century murder mystery set at Lincoln College. She hopes to organise many more such events during her Fellowship, and is excited to return to Oxford and to teaching in the new setting of Lincoln. Timothy Michael (English) Dr Michael's interest in William Hazlitt, one of the great English literary critics, bore fruit this year in an article published in the leading journal of English literature, The Review of English Studies {htt s.-Ildoi.or 110.10931reslh ad107). The essay looks at how Hazlitt's conception of 'disinterestedness', first formulated in his earliest philosophical treatise and then modified in his laler work, underpins his involvement in some of the Romantic period's most consequential debates and legal cases about the liberty ofthe press. The essay concludes with some reflections on our own debates about the freedom of speech and argues that Hazlilt's work provides us with a valuable perspective on the importancwnd the fragility.-of free speech in liberal societies. Dr Michael found teaching Lincoln undeigraduates, as ever. a privilege. They continue to surprise him with their inventiveness, enthusiasm, and dedication. Dr Michael served as Chair of the FHS Exam Board for the English faculty, which gave him a greater appreciation of the rigour of assessment practices, the complexities which inevitably arise from them, and the care with which colleagues approach this vitsl aspect of the undergraduate programme. Lau re Miolo (History) This year, in addition to her regular leaching of Latin and French palaeography, diplomatic and codicology for the Faculty of History, Dr Miolo has been organising a weekly seminar on Lincoln's medieval documents with the College Archivist, Lindsay Mccormack, 'Exploring Medieval Oxford through Lincoln Archives,. The students presented their remarkable work of transcription, translation, and analysis al a one-day conference on 24 May, 'Recording Oxford's Medieval Lives.. A Mise en Perspective of the Lincoln Documents,. This seminar will be Gontinued in 2024-2025. In terms of promoting and making medieval manuscripts and documents more accessible to student5. she has organised several Show-and-Tell events, including the series 'A journey with Medieval Manuscripts,. On the research side, she has published two articles, including one in Archive for History of Exact Sciences,. she also co-ediled a book published by De Gruyter in the 16 LINCOLN COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2024 collection Studies in Manuscript Culturas, and a special issue of the Cahiers de recherches médiévales et humanistes. Dr Miolo gave five talks in Oxford, London, and Venice, including one of the Gresham Lectures for the annual BSHM event. She is also extremely grateful to the Zilkha Fund for supporting two research trips to Italy and Spain, which have enabled her to prepare forthcoming articles on madieval astronomy. Reese Oosterbeek (Engineering) Dr Oosterbeek started at Lincoln in September 2023 as the new Tutorial Fellow in Mechanical Engineefing and is grateful for the warm welcome he received from all his new colleagues. His fellow engineer, Prof. Paul Stavrinou, in particular has been supportive in helping him settle into this new role. Guiding his first set of students through the first year of the undergraduate course has been challenging but rewarding. Since first coming to Oxford in 2022 from a postdoctoral role at Imperial College London. Dr Oosterbeek has been focusing on setting up his laboratory and recruiting a research team. This coming academic year {2024-25), he will have his first two DPhil students starting and, with support from the John Fell Fund and Engineering Department. new experimental facilities are now in place. Their research will focus on 3D printing structured materials for temporary medical implants. aiming to provide improved Ireatment options for fractLAres and long- term conditions like osteoarthritis. He is excited to be establishing a new research group in this promising area. Kimberly Palladino {Physics} Dr Palladino has this year continued to operate and analyse data from the world's most sensitive direct dark matter detector. LZ. with improved sensitivity reported in August 2024. Located in a mine in South Dakota. it will continue running for the next few years looking for the particles that may make up the dark matter that gravitationally dominates galaxies and larger structures in the universe. She is working on planning for a liquid xenon time projection Chamber experiment, XLZD, that would be operational in about a decade. Dr Palladino is helping to develop the prospect to expand the Boulby Underground Laboratory outside Whitby to host XLZD as Ihe largest international physics experiment ever located in the UK. Dr Palladino tutors Lincoln Physics students ill the first and second years, and leotures on Special Relativity and is a senior demonslrator in practicals to first-year students in Ihe Physics Course. Aleksei Parakhonyak {Economics) This year, Dr Parakhonyak continued working on the topic of information and constraints. He completed a paper titled 'Strategic Use of Product Delays to Shape Word-of-mouth Communication." which was presented at several conferences, as well as the paper on an experimental study, Product Scarcity and Social Learning.. Experimental Evidence., both co-authored with Nick Vikander from the University of Copenhagen. Another paper with Dr Vivander, "Product Delays, Word of Moulh, and Observational Learning, combines the market forces they studied in previous research observational learning and word of mouth. This is the first paper in the literature lo consider the combination of these two critical channels of information, creating unique incentives for firms to restrict capacity. Another project, conducted jointly with Martin Peitz and Anton Sobolev from the University of Mannheim. examinas how restricting capacity and creating a fèar of sell-outs can mute consumer search and lead to monopoly pricing in the market. This research highlights the importance of platforms providing inventory information (e.g. Amazon's message that "x units left"). 17 LINCOLN COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2024 J.P. Park (History of Art) Professor Park has focusad this year on final proofreading and securing copyright permissions for his forthcoming book on forgery in Chinese art. Like any other art history book, it requires substantial resources for design, colour printing, and high-quality materials. He is pleased to report that the production was supported by two major grants from the James P. Geiss and Margaret Y. Hsu Foundation in the U.S. and the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation in Taiwan. Additionally, a Chinese translation of one of his books was reGently published by the premier art history publisher in China. Professor Park also had a new academic article PLtblished in The Transactions of the Oriental Ceramic S(Kiety. In January, ha had the honour of delivering a lecture as part of their distinguished lecture series at the University of Edinburgh. During Trinity Term, he was able to take his first sabbatical leave since arriving at Oxford and Lincoln, which allowed him to embark on a two-month research trip to China and Japan for his next book project. Alexander Prescott-couch {PhilosophyJ This year. Dr Prescott-couch began a Leverhulme Research Fellowship for his project 'The Politics of Understanding,. The fellowship runs from April 2024 to October 2025 and has allowed him to push forward his research about the aims and political import of work in the interpretive social sciences. In response to increased political polarization, many emphasize the need to 'understand' fellow citizens, with social science as a potential tool. However. the specific type of understanding needed, its conneclion to typical social science aims, and its political relevance remain unclear. This project explores different forms of 'political understanding, and argues that recognizing these distinctions enhances our appreciation for qualitative research methods like ethnographies, while also revealing Ihe limits of quantitative methods and problems with the focus on causal explanation as Ihe primary aim of social scientific research. As part of this project, Dr Prescott-couch published two papers this year. Narrative Understanding, in the The European Journal of Philosophy and 'Exemplary Narratives and the Problem of Minor Details, in Topoi. He also firiished a paper 'Two Conceptions of Political Understanding . which is currently under review. In addition lo this projecl on the social sciences, he is Gontinuing to work on papers and a book on Nietzsche and the relevance of historical knowledge for moral philosophy. One paper in this project, 'Nietzsche and the Significance of Genealogy, was published in Mind Ihis year. He also completed drafts of Iwo additional papers within this project, titled 'Genealogy and Essence. and 'Against Problematization Accounts of Genealogy,, which he plans to publish next year. Peter Sarkies {Biochemistry) In the first term of the academic year, Dr Sarkies was on sabbatical, and used thi5 lime to visit the 'Tree of Life, program at the Sanger institute. This program aims to sequence the genome of every species in the UK. It is therefore a great resource for his research, as he is interested in the diversity of gene regulatory mechanisms across animals. Whilst Ihere. he generated some new hypotheses about the evolution of one type of gene regulation in particular, a group of tiny RNA molecules called piRNAs that defend genomes againsl transposable elements la kind of virus that spreads within the cell rathèr than between cells). Even though piRNAs are very important in most species. there are a lot of animals genomes that have lost piRNAs altogether. and why this happerls is still a great mystery. He published an article ('Thè curious case of the missing piRNAs') to summarise his ideas. Dr Sarkies returned in Hilary Term. reinvigorated, and enjoyed teaching molecular evolution and gena regulation courses. He considers himself fortunata lo have two tremendous foijrth-year students in his lab. Their projects opened up some very exciting new directions to follow. particularly in understanding how gene 18 LINCOLN COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2024 regulatory mechanisms can drive evolution throLsgh directly affecting the rate at which DNA sequence changes. This is a controversial topic bul an exciting new frontier in understanding how life evolves. Anthony Roberts (Biochemistry) A research highlight this year for Dr Roberts was solving the structure of a human motor protein with sufficient resolution to determine how its atoms are arranged. Mutations in this protein, dynein-2, are associated with a rare childhood disorder, and knowledge of its atomic structure gives a much clearer picture of why variants cause disease. The work also informs how the protein functions to support life in healthy conditions. Addressing this question involved combining the detailed. but static, views of the molecule obtained using electron microscopy wilh live videos of it performing its role transporting cargoes wilhin cells, which were captured using fluorescence microscopy. The work was published in 2024 and presented at the EMBO Cryo- EM Conference in London and the FASEB Cilia and Flagella Conference in Minnesota. Regarding teaching, Dr Roberts developed new tutorials in Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry for first-year students, as well as in Molecular Processes in the Cell and Biochemical Toolboxes for second- and third-year students. Maryanne Saunders {History of Art} Thi5 year Dr Saunders has been as busy as ever. Over the summer, Dr Saunders held a visiting fellowship at the Clemente Couise for the Humanities, hosted in Maine and spent some time in Cambridge, MA resulting in an exhibition review in the 'Art + Christianity, journal. She is preparing to present her research from last year's fellowship at Yale at the Society for Biblical Literature conference in San Diego later this autumn. Having entered the last year of her four-year appointment. she is leaving Lincoln earlier than anticipated to take up the position of Howard and Roberta Ahmanson Research Fellow in Art and Religion at the Nalional Gallery and visiting leclurer at KCL. She will miss the College, her colleagues, and students, but is excited about the new challenges ahead. RRR Smith (Classical Archaeology) A book written with former Lincoln graduate student, Christian Niederhuber, came out this year, entitled Commodus.- The Public Image of a Roman Emperor. Other activities for Professor Sfflith included-. leaching for a semester as Visiting Professor at Bilkent University in Ankara,. touring the Phrygian Highlands and the Pisidian mountains-, participaling in a Getty-sponsored tour of sites around the Sea of Marmara from Nikomedeia to Kyzikos, followed by a symposium in Istanbul on 'The Long Lives of Ancient Monuments,; directing a further season of research and excavation at Aphrodisias in Carla {southwest Turkiye)., touring northwest Greece, from Delphi and Galaxidi to Gitana and Igoumenitsa, to see sites and new museums., and giving lectures and conference papers in Ankara, Edinburgh, London, Nev{ehir, New York, and Oxford. Maria Stamatopoulou (Classical Archaeology) This year Professor Stamatopoulou continued research for the Leverhulme funded project on ancient D8metrias and its painted tombstones. She spenl four months in Volos (near ancient Demetrias} studying and Gataloguing the monuments and coordinating a team (led by Dr G. Verri) that carried sequence of analytical investigations with the aim to provide clues for the interpretation of the iconography and identify the materials and techniques used to create a group of painted marble funerary stelai in the Athanasakeion Archaeological Museum in Volos, Greece. These were.. multispeclral imaging, fiber-optic reflectance, hyperspectral imaging and Fourier transform infrared speclrosoopy and point analysis and scanning X-ray fluorescence on details or Ihe entire painted surface of the stelai and imaging undar magnification to further charactèrize the paint layers. 19 LINCOLN COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2024 Alongside this, she directed a project {funded by the John Fell Fund and Lincoln Colleg&) entitled= 'Archaeological Archives of Thessaly.. their importance for the study of Thessaly in Antiquity and Modern Greek history,, in collaboration with the Historical Archive of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture. She spent three months in Athens doing archival reseach and studying material in museum storerooms. She co-organised a conference in Copenhagen with Prof. Rubina Raja and Dr. Olympia Bobou, entitled 'Turning the Page.. Archaeological Archives and Entangled Cultural Knowledge, in November and edited the proceedings for publication (with Brepols). She continued running a field-school in Volos land Athensl for first-year undergraduate students studying for the Classical Archaeology and Ancient History degree, focusing on the sancluary of Ihe Mother of the Gods at Demetrias and she led a tour of ancient Macedonia to see sites and museums with the sludents. She collaboraled with Dr Joshua Thomas on the stLSdy of a lomb complex from Metropolis, in western Thessaly and they worked together in the National Archaeological Museum at Athens. also training a Lincoln CAAH undergraduate. and organised a study season and tour of the ancient cily of Zeugma in eastern Turkey in an exploratory collaboration season after an invitation by Prof. Kutalmis Gorkay. Other activities include.. participating in a GeÉty-sponsored tour of sites around the Sea of Marmara from Nikomedeia to Kyzikos", research trips in tours in Istanbul, Thessaloniki (where she also studied painled monuments}. Copenhagen (to do archival research on Demetrias), Heidelberg (archival research), Athens (National Museum and Archives)., lecturing in Alhens, Copenhagen, Volos and Oxford. Andreas Televantos {Law) Dr Televantos has had a productive year in terms of research and teaching at Lincoln. He gave a talk at UCL to the Trusts Law Committee about the legal treatment of trustees who incur debts and their creditors. He has had an article based on this research recently accepted by the Law Quarterly Review. Dr Televantos also gave a talk to the Central European Academy iri Budapest, on how trusts can be used to preserve the unity of family property. He has two forthcoming book chapters which have been accepted for publication, one on company charges, another on equitable accounting. As regards teaching. Dr Televanlos taught Trusts Law and Land Law to the undergraduates here at Lincoln, and he also taught Legal Concepts in Financial Law, Advanced Property and Trusts, and Modern Legal History to students studying for the BCL, MJUR, and MLF. Alice Thorneywork (Chemistry) Dr Thorneywork's second year at Lincoln has been busy with both teaching and resèarch. In the lab. her team expanded significantly, and we have been steadily developing new experimental set-ups. A particular highlight has been getting their optical iweezer5 up and running. These allow the team to manipulate tiny particles using the force exerted by light. Dr Thorneywork and her team were also excited by a recent publication resulting from a collaboration with researchers in Paris and Colorado. In this, they show that you can quantify how things move by simply counting objects in an image. They hope the simplicity of this approach makes their new method relevant to many systems, from molecules lo small organisms. Away from the lab, giving tutorials for a second year has highlighted that, however familiar one is with the material, teaching talented students means there are always new questions. She finds the exploration of these fresh perspectives on old problems to be a hugely enjoyable part of herjob. Dominic Vella (Mathematics) This year Professor Vella's research group and he have continued to study shape changes in thin objects, motivated by examples including the leaves of the 'broadleaf lady palm, and the jumps of 'click beetles,. In the first case, they studied how the leaves fold when the plant is water-stressed, modelling the process and 20 LINCOLN COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year endéd 31 July 2024 showing that folding acts to slop the leaves willing. In the second, they worked with a team of engineers and biologists to mimic the sudden jumping of the beellès in a small-scale robot. Our contribution was lo understand how the 'click' (which, confusingly, corresponds to something called snap-lhrough, in mathematics) occurs, why il is so fast, and how the resulting jumps can be optimised by changing the geomelfy slightly. On the leaching side. he has been enjoying leaching Lincoln's first- and second-year mathematicians, but has also relished lecturing the department's fluid mechanics course for second-years, trying to ir)troduce simple demos where possible. Michael Willis (Chemistry) Professor Willis and his team's research into developing new methods for the synthesis of bioactive molecules has conlinued to move fonNard. A feature of their recent work has been to employ readily available feedstocks as substrates with the sustainability of these feedstocks being paramount. Within this context, his team recently published two new methods for the synthesis of diverse sulfur-based functional groups {such as sulfinamides and sulfonimidoyl fluorides) using simple carboxylic acids as the starting materials. A highlight of the year was presenting some their research in a plenary talk al the International Symposium on the Organic Chemistry of Sulfur, held this year in Florence. Nigel Wilson (Classics) This year has been much the same as last. Video-conferencing enabled him to give a lecture to Palermo and to maintain his long-standing connection with Freiburg with a course on Greek palaeography. With the help of his former colleague. Christos Simelidis. he organised the college's biennial summer school in Ihe same subject. There are no significant publications to record, merely two short papers given to conferences. The edilion of Photlus now looks as ifthere should be progress towards the end of the calendar year. LUGY Wooding (History) Professor Wooding has begun Wofk on a new book project on populaf religion and literature in the post- Reformation period, and gave a paper in the summer at the Ecclesiastical History Society conference in Durham on Ihis subject. She was delighted by an invitation to hold the Mary Robertson Visiting Fellowship in Tudor Sludies at the H(Jntington Library this academic year, and looks forward to working on the new project there next spring. She is continuing to research the role of Catholic evangelicalism in the sixteenth century, and was able to make two research trips to the Vatican Library this year to consult manuscripts there. She is now entering into her third year as Co-Director of Undergraduate Studies for the History Faculty. As Board Interviewer with responsibility for the graduates working on early modern history, she has enjoyed having oversight of a graduate community which continues to flourish, despite the very worrying situation regarding graduate funding. As Welfare Dean, she can report that the reforms of our welfare provision have been very successful, and she would like to express her gratitude to every member of our wonderful welfare team. Henry Woudhuysen (English) In November and December 2023, Professor Woudhuysen gave the Panizzi Lectures at Ihe British Library on the eighteenth-cenlury Oxford scholar, Thomas Hearne. The three lèctures touched on his life and his work in the Bodleian, his book collecting. and his publishing ventures. With David Rundle, ho edited Essays to Mark the Centenary of the Oxford Bibliographical Society. 1922-2022., Professor Woudhuysen contributed a brief introduction to the volume, which appeared, as is the nature of such books, some time after the anniversary itself. At the Huntington Library in California. he gave a talk to alumni about his own book collecting and at a 21 LINCOLN COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2024 conference about books and forgery in the College, organised in part by Geri della Rocca de Candal. He spoke about the monstrous bibliographical activities of Thomas James Wise. The Chapel The College Chapel provides a focus for worship according to the rites of the Church of England, as well as a place of quiet beauty and contemplation for the whole College. The Chapel hosted a number of alumni weddings, welcoming guests from around the world and close to home. Our ordinary round of seNices, including Holy Eucharist and Choral Evensong saw strong altendance through the year. Six Choral Scholarships {for Lincoln members) and two Choral exhibitions {for students of other Colleges) were awarded for the academic year 2023-24. These scholarships have been augmented by a generous donation from Mr. Robert Blake. Members ofthe Choir receive professional singing lessons, helping maintain ils repulation as one of Oxford's best mixed-voice student Choirs. providing a rich community in which to foster the ongoing life of the English choral tradition. Environ mental Sustainability The College has increased its focus on measuring and managing our carbon consumption and our biodiversity. The College was pleased to have been awarded a gold Green Impact award for 2023 and again for 2024 for its sustainable praclices. Premises The College has continued to pay considerable attention to the maintenance and enhancement of its physical resources in pursuit of its charitable objects. During the year. the College completed a project to provide enhanced access in the Library and is advanced in its reslofation of the Beckington and Williams rooms. Development and Fund-raising Legacies and donations contributed £5.462 million to the College's funds in 2023-24 (2022-23.. £3.848m. Once again, a significant number of donations were in support of scholarships and bursaries, including grants for graduate students from long-lerm donors. the Lord Crewe's Charity and the Sloane Robinson Foundation, and several new endowments established to support undergraduate bursaries or graduate scholarships. Alumni Gontinue to donate generously through the Annual Fund, which raised £324.198 in this period. Much of this income was channelled towards sludent support and activities. including hardship funds and welfare support. We received a particular generous donation to establish the HR Woudhuysen JRF in Material Culture, made in honour of his Rectorship. In addition, alumni donations continue to support the tulorial system. with allocations to biomedical science, medicine. PPE. and law. Alumni feel Glosely connected to the College through our extensive events programme, which this year saw visits to the USA by the Rector and Deputy D8velopment Director, to a number of Asian cities by the Development Diroctor, and visits to several European cities, as well as events in Oxford and London. As measured by financial participation, at 150/0 12022-23- 18 /01. engagement remains relatively high relative to other UK Higher Education institutions. The fundraising strategy for the College is determined by the Governing Body, and aims lo seek funds in its core objectives of education and research. Fundraising is led by the Development Director, who reports to the Governing Body. The Development Office team of five (including the Development Director} is responsible for both fundraising and alumni relations activity within Lincoln Collegg_ Fundraising activity is directed at alumni 22 LINCOLN COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2024 of the College, and Trusts and Foundations with objectives allied lo the College, and uses direcl mail, email and social madia, telephone and face-lo-face approaches lo discuss fundraising opportunities with supporters and potential supporters. On some occasions, Ihe Development Office uses a third party to help with Ihe management of telephone campaigns. This year, the Office engaged Buffalo Associates to conduct a telethon. Buffalo supplied the equipmenl and training, and Lincoln students were engaged as callers. Calling was supervised by a member of College staff as well as the Buffalo campaign manager, and the results were positive in terms of donations but also in terms of general engagement with alumni. The Development Office is also responsible for producing College publications, and hosts a mentoring platform to connect alLtmni with students seeking career advice. In 2023-24, our new College Communications and Website Officer continued the work of her predecessor in editing and producing College publications for alumni, and also increased our profile on social Ynedia. She worked closely with the Outreach Officer to update the College's website pages for potential applicants. and with the College's extemal communications consultancy. The College uses a fundraising database, Raisers Edge, lo maintain contact details for alumni and donors, and adheres to the GDPR. Lincoln College is registered with the Fundraising Regulator and adheres lo the Code of Fundraising Practice. In the past year, no complaints have beèn received about fundraisin9 activity or about personnel. The financial performance of the College is discussed in the 'Financial Review, below and in the section entitled 'lnvestment Policy, Objectives and Performance.. FINANCIAL REVIEW The College derives income to support its regular operations in pursuit of its objectives from three principal sources.. income in respect of tuition. being fees paid by students (or their sponsors, or government) and money received from external sources to fund Fellowships and studentships.. revenue from the College's domestic {accommodation and catering) activities. as provided both to College members and to non-members of College., returns generated by the College's pool of investryients. The College also receives a number of donations and legaGies each year, some of which are used to fund regular operations, but the larger share of which is used to increase endowment funds and to fund major items of capital expenditure. In 2023-24, the total income was £16.198 million {2022-23.' £14.738million) of which £5.462 million was in the form of donations and legacies {2022-23'. £3.848 million). The College spends money on five areas of activity.. academic activities (education, study and research, including personnel costs and expenditure on supporting infrastructure}', support for students lin the form of scholarships, bursaries and expenditure on facilities and activities for students, benefit}., provision of accommodation and catering services to members and non-members of College,. bLtildings' repair and maintenance; management (including the costs of fund-raising, investment management and governance). In 2023-24, the total expenditure was £15.308 million {2022-23'. £16.488 million). Therefore. the total of net income before investment gains was £0.890 million {compared to nel expènditure in 2022-23 of £1.750 million). 23 LINCOLN COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2024 The College's annual Financial Plan is structured such that all operating expenditure should ba met from the three sources of operating income, with the proviso that the sum derived from the College's endowment should be no more than a fixed percentage of the value of those endowment funds. The College has a policy to draw up lo 30/0 of its average endowmenl fund balances over the previous three years. This can be varied, if necessary, as it was in 2019-20 with the onset of the pandemic. From 2013-14 the College has presented its Accounts on a total return accounting basis. The Governing Body will keep the level of income withdrawn from endowment funds under review in order lo balance the needs and interests of current beneficiaries of the College's activities with those of future beneficiaflès. In 2023-24, income in the form of tuition fees showed an increase to £3.199 million12022-23: £3.403 million). The College continued to benefil from privately sourced funds in support of student scholarships. with substantial and generous donations from the Kingsgate Fund, Sloane Robinson Foundation, the Keith Murray Award Fund, the Berrow Foundation and Lord Crewe's Charity. Income from domestic activities was £4.027 million. This compares with income from residential aclivities of £3.692 million in 2022-23. The College now has no provision on its balance sheet for deficits in its USS and OSPS pension plans. In 2022-23 Ihe College had a deficit of £1.835 million. Now both the USS and OSPS Schemes show a surplus. The College is aware of the Virgin Media v NTL Pension Trustees11 Limited Court of Appeal judgement which may give rise to adjustments to the schemes. At present the legal process is incomplete and therefore we are unable to quantify any potential liabilities. Endowment total return allocated to income was £3.901 million in 2023-24 (£3.758 million 2022-231. In addition, ￿rtain unrestricted and restricted donations may fund operating expenditure. Reserves policy The College's reserves policy is.. to maintain sufficient free reserves lo enable it to meet its short-lerm financial obligations in the event of an unexpected revenue shortfall,. to allow the College to be managed efficiently., and to provide a buffer that would ensure uninterrupted services. Total funds of the College and its subsidiaries at the year-end amounted to £201.947 million (2022-23= £189.342 million). This includes endowment capital of £157.924 million (2022-23-. £147.317 million) and unspent restricted income funds totalling £11.484 million (2022-23.. £10.658 million). Free reserves at the year*nd amounted to £3.457 million12022-23.' £4.503 million), representing retsined unrestricted income reserves excluding an amount of £27.531 million for the book value of tangible fixed assets less associated funding arrangements and £1.581 million of designated reserves. Free reserves at the year-end were £3.457 million (2022-23: £4.503 million}. This amount represents approximately over Ihree months, expenditure and is line with the College's policy on rese￿es. Risk management The College has on-going processes that operated throughout the financial year for identifying, evaluating and managing the principal risks and uncertainties faced by it and its subsidiaries in undertaking its activities. When il is not able to address risk issues using internal resource5, the College lakes advice from experts external to the College with specialist knowledge. Policies and procedures within the College are reviewed by Ihe relevant College committee, chaired by the Rector or the Bursar. Financial and inveslment risks are assessed and monitored by the Finance Committee. Technology and data security risks are reviewed by the Planning Committee. In addition. the Domestic Operations Manager and domestic staff heads meet regularly to review health and safely issues. Training courses and other fomis of career developmènt are available, when requested. to members of staff to enhance their skills in risk-related areas. 24 LINCOLN COLLEGE Report of the Governing Body Year ended 31 July 2024 The Governing Body, who have ultimate responsibility for managing any risks faced by the Collegè, have reviewed the processes in place for managing risk and the principal identified risks to which the College and its subsidiaries are exposed and have concluded Ihal adequate systems are in place to manage these risks. The College has identified specific risks, assessed the impact of the risk and the probability of the event occurring and reviewed measures to manage the risks. The principal categories of risks and uncertainties faced by th& College and its subsidiaries are..

To meet these objectives, the College's investments as a whole are managed on a total retum basis (that is, income and oapilal taken together), maintaining diversification across a range of asset classes in order to produce an appropriate balance belween risk and return. This approach is consislent with the College Statutes, which allow the College to invesi permanent endowments to maximise the related lolal return and to make available for expenditure each year an appropriate proportion of the unapplied total return. Investment stralegy, policy and performance are monitored by the Finance Committee. Individual members of the Finance Committee bring to it significant investment expertise. At the end of July 2024, the Group's long-term investments, combining the propety assets and the pool of securities and other investments, totalled £184.043 million {2022-23'. £172.783 million) of which £11.692 million comprised the independently constituted Lincoln 2027 Trust and £1.922 million the Lincoln College Michael Zilkha Trust. The College aims to achieve a long-lerm return of 40/0 above inflation (as measured by the Consumer Price Index). The net return on the College's endowment and long-term investments (that is, income plus capital gain less management fees) was 7.00/012022-23.. 0.4 % l. This return comprised= Property Investments Securities and Other Investments Total Net returns +0.2 0/. 10.3% 7.0° Valuations of Property Investments are determined by the College's Land Agents, Laws and Fiennes, who in turn take advice from such advisers as Cluttons (for cofflmercial and London residential properties), Breckon & Breckon {for local residential properties) and Carter Jonas (for agricultural properties}. With the assistance of these advisers, the College undertakes a full-scale market-based revaluation of a portion of the Property portfolio every year, so that over three years all the properties have been subject to such a market-based revaluation. This year the College's commercial properties in London were valued by Cluttons. Day-to-day management of most of the securities and other investments was delegated to an external manager, Partners Capital. Non-endowed capital that is required for expenditure in the short-term is investe(I in liquid short-term securities and money-market funds. The carrying value of the preserved permanent capital and the amount of any unapplied tolal return available for expenditure was taken as the open-market values of these funds as at 1 August 2002, together with the original gift value of all subsequent endowment received.

Charity law requires the Governing Body to prepare financial statements for aach financial year. Under that law the Governing Body has prepared the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounling Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), in¢luding Financial Reporting Standard 102.. The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102}. Under charity law, the Governing Body must not approve Ihe financial statements unless it is satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the slate of affairs of the College and of its net income or expenditure for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Governing Body is required to.. select the most suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently., make judgements ar7d accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent., slate whether applicable accounting standards, including FRS 102, have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial stalemenls., slate whelher a Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applies and has been followed, subject to any material departures, which are explained in Ihe financial statements.. prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis, unless it is inappropriate to presume that the College will continue to operate. The Governing Body is responsible for keeping proper accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the College's IransaGtions and disclose wilh reasonable aGGuracy at any time the financial position of the College and enable it to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. It is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of Ihe College and ensuring their proper application under charity law and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. Approved by the Governing Body on 13 November. 2024 and signed on its behalf by.. Nigel Clifford Rector 28 LINCOLN COLLEGE Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of the Governing Body of Lincoln College Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Lincoln Collège (the "Charity"> for the year ended 31 July 2024 which comprise the Statement of Accounting Policies, the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated and College Balance Sheets, the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and notes lo the financial stalemenls. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102= The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in Ihe UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). In our opinion, the financial statements.. give a true and fair view of the stale of the group and charity's affairs as at 31 July 2024 and of the group's income and expenditure for the year then ended., have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice., have been prepared in accordance with Ihe requirements of the Charities A¢t 2011. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing {UKI {ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditorfs responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC'S Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Conclusions relating to going concern In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Members of the Governing Body's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have nol identified any material uncerlainties relating to events or conditions Ihal, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charily's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Members of the Governing Body with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. Other information The Members of the Governing Body are responsible for the other information. The other information omprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our audilor's report Ihereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent othetwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsislenl with the financial statements or our knowledg8 obtained in the audit or othetwise appears lo be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstalemenl of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 29 LINCOLN COLLEGE Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of the Governing Body of Lincoln College Matters on which we are required to report by èxception We have nothing to report in réspect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion- sufficient accounting records have not been kept., the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns., or we have not obtained all the information and explanations necessary for the purposes of our audil. Responsibilities of the Members of the Governing Body As explained more fully in the Statement of Accounting and Reporting Responsibilities, set OLSt on page 25, the Members of the Governing Body are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements. the Members of the Governing Body are responsible for assessing the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern. disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Members of the Governing Body either intend to liquidale the Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements We have been appointed as auditor under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance wilh the Act and relevanl regulalions made or having effect thereunder. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes Our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS {UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if. individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance wilh laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities. outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.. Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularilies, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows.. the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance wilh applicable laws and regulations., we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charity through discussions wilh Members of the Governing Body and other management, and from our knowledge and experience of the Client's sector-, we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considared may have a direct material effect on the financial ststements or the operations of the charity, including Charitios Act 2011, Office for Students and Oxford University requirements, taxation legislation, data protection, employment and pensions, planning and health and safety legislation; we assessed the extent of complianco with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and, where relevant, inspecting legal correspondence., and 30 LINCOLN COLLEGE Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of the Governing Body of Lincoln College identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and th& team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit. We assessed the stjsceplibility of the charity's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur. by.. making enouiries of Members of Governing Body and other management as lo where they considerad there was susceptibility lo fraud, their knowledge of aclual, SLtspected and alleged fraud., and considering the intemal controls in place lo mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance wilh laws and regulations., To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships., tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions., assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of polential bias., and investigated the rationale behind significanl or unusual transactions., In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations. we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to.. agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation-, reading the minutes of meetings oflhose charged with governance., enquiring of management as to actual and polential litigation and claims., if considered necessary, reviewing correspondence with relevant regulators and the charity's legal advisors. There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, Ihe less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the Members of Governing Body and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.or .uklaudilorsres onsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report. Use of this report This report is made solely to the College's Governing Body, as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and Ihe regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Members of the Governing Body those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permilted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than Ihe College's Governing Body as a body. for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Critchleys Audit LLP is eligible to act as an auditor in ierms of section 1212 of the Companies Act 2006. 31 LINCOLN COLLEGE Statement of Accounting Policies Year ended 31 July 2024 1. Scope of thefinancial slalements The financial statements present the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA), the Consolidated and College Balanoe Sheets and the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the College and its wholly owned subsidiaries Lincoln College Trading Limited and Lincoln College Enterprises Limited together with Lincoln 2027 Trust and Lincoln College Michael Zilkha Fund. The subsidiaries have been consolidated from the date of their formation being the dale from which the College has exercised control through voting rights in the subsidiaries. No separate SOFA has been presented for the College alone as currently permitted by the Charity Commission on a concessionary basis for the filing of consolidated financial statements. A summary of the results and financial position of the charity and each of its material subsidiaries for thé reporting year is in note 13. 2. Basis of accounting The College's individual and consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Accounting Standards. in particular'FRS 102- The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, (FRS 1021. The College is a public benefit entity for the purposes of FRS 102 and a registered charily. The College has therefore also Prepared its individual and consolidated financial statements in accordance with 'The Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing theif financial statements in accordance wilh FRS 102, (The Charilies SORP (FRS 102)}. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and on the historical cost basis. except fof the measurement of investments and certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value with movements in value reported within the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA). The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below and have been applied consistently throughout the year. 3. Accounting judgements and estimation uncertainty In preparing financial statements, it is necessary to make certain judgements. estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The following judgements and estimates are considered by the Governing Body to have most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements. The College participates in two multi-employer defined benefit pension plans. In the judgement of the Governing Body there is insufficient information aboul the plan assets and liabilities to be able to reliably account for its share of the defined benefit obligation and plan assets in the financial statements and therefore the plan is accounted for as a defined Gonlribution scheme (see notes 23). The College carries investment property at fair value in the balance sheet, with changes in fair value being recognised in the income and expenditure section of the SOFA. Valuations of Property Investments are determined by the College's Land Agents, Laws and Fiennes. who in turn take advice from such advisers as Cluttons (for commercial and London residential properties), Breckon & Breckon (for local Oxford residential properties) and Carter Jonas (for agricultural properties). With the assistance of these advisers, the College undertakes a market-based revaluation of a portion of the Property portfolio each year with the balance being estimated valuations undertaken by the College's Land Agent. In 2023-24 the College's commercial properties in London were independently valued by Clutlons. The College's other properties were valued by its Land Agent after consultation with the above-mentioned advisers. Before legacies are recognised in the financial statements, the Governing Body has to exercise judgement as to what constitutes sufFicient evidence of entitlement to the bequest. Sufficient enlillement exists once notification of payment has been received from the executor(sl of the estate or estate accounts are available which indicato there are sufficient funds in the estate after meeting liabilities for the bequest to be paid. 32 LINCOLN COLLEGE Slalement of Accou n li ng Pol icies Yéar ended 31 July 2024 In the view of the Governing Body, no assumptions concerning the future or estimation uncertainty affecting assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date are likely lo result in a matèrial adjustment to their arrying amounts in the next financial year. With respect to the next financial year, the most significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the College are the level of investment return and the performance of investment markats. 4. Income recognition All income is recognised once the College has entitlement lo the income, thé economic benefit is probable and the amount can be reliably measured. Income from fees, Office for Students support and other Gharges for services Fees receivable. Office for Students support and charges for services and use of the premises are recognised in the period in which the related service is provided. Income from donations, grants and legacies Donations and grants that do not impose specific future performance-related Of Other specific conditions are recognised on the date on which Ihe College has entitlefflent to the resource, the amount can be reliably measured and the economic benefit to the College of Ihe donation or grant is probable. Donations and grants subjecl to performance-related conditions are recognised as and when those conditions are met. Donations and grants subject to other specific conditions are recognised as those conditions are met or their fulfilment is wholly within the control of the College and it is probable that the specified conditions will be met. Legacies are recognised following grant of probate and once the College has received sufficient information from the executor(s} of the deceased's estate to be satisfied thal the gift can be reliably measured and that the economic benefit to the College is probable. Donations, grants and legacies accruing for the general purposes of the College are credited to unrestricted funds. Donations, grants and legacies which are Subject to conditions as to their use ifflposed by the donor or set by the tefms of an appeal are credited to the relevant restricted fund or, where the donation, grant or legacy is required to be held as capital, to the endowment funds. Where donations are received in kind (as distinct from cash or other monetary assets), they are measured at the fair value of those assets at the date of the gift. Investment income Interest on bank balances is accounted for on an accrual basis with interest recognised in the period to which the interest relates. Income from fixed interest debt securities is recognised using the effective interest rate method. Dividend income and similar distributions are recognised on the date the share interest becomes ex- dividend or when the right to the dividend can be established. Income from investment properties is rècognised in the period lo which the rental income relates. 5. Expenditure Expenditure is accounted for on an accrual basis. A liability and related expenditure is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation commits the College to expenditure that will probably roquire seltlem&nt, the amount of which can be reliably measured or estimated. 33 LINCOLN COLLEGE Statement of Accounting Policies Year ended 31 July 2024 Grants awarded that are not performance-related are charged as an expense as soon as a legal or constructive obligation for their payment arises. Grants subject to performance-felaled conditions are expensed as the specified conditions of the grant are met. All expenditure, including support costs and governance costs, is allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure categories in the Statement of Financial Activities (the SOFA). Support costs, which include governance costs (costs of complying with constitutional and statutory requiremenlsl and other indirect costs, are apportioned lo expenditure categories in the SOFA, based on the estimated amount attributable to that activity in the year, either by reference to staff time or the use made of the underlying assets, as appropriate. Irrecoverable VAT is included with the item of expenditure to which it felates. Inlra-group sales and charges between the College and ils subsidiaries are excluded from trading income and expenditure in the consolidated financial statements. 6. Tangible fixed assets Land is stated at cost. Buildings and equipment are stated al cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. The College capitalises expenditure on buildings where there is a significant improvement in their useful life. The College capitalises expenditure on equipment costing more than £1,000. Where a part of a building or equipment is replaced and the costs capitalised, the carrying value of those parts replaced is derecognised and expensed ir) the SOFA. Other expenditure on equipfflent incurred in the normal day-to-day running of the College and its subsidiaries is charged to the SOFA as incurred. 7. Depreciation Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of all relevant tangible fixed assets, less their eslimated residual value, in eqLAal annual instalments over their expected useful economic lives as follows= Freehold buildings, including major extensions 50 years Leasehold properties 50 years or period of lease if shorter Building improvements 20 - 50 years Equipment 3- 15years Freehold land is not depreciated. The cost of maintenance is charged in the SOFA in the period in which it is incurred. At the end of each reporting period, the residual values and useful lives of assets are reviewed and adjusted if necessary. In addition, if events or change in circumstances indicate that thè carrying value may not be recoverable, then the carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment. 8. Heritage Assets The College has chosen to hold heritage assets at cost. The College has a number of assets, including items of art and historic texts that meet the definition of heritage assets under the SORP. The depreciated historic cost of the majority of these items is nil. Items purchased are recognised at cost and items donated to the College are recognised at fair value. The College has taken advantage ofthe exemption within FRS 102 not lo disclose transactions before 1 January 2015 as obtaining fair values for these 34 LINCOLN COLLEGE Statement of Accounting Policies Year ended 31 July 2024 assets would be impracticable and the cost of obtaining such valuations would outweigh the benefits to the users of these financial statements. 9. Investménts Investment properties are initially recognised at their cost, and subsequently measured at their fair value {market value} at each reporting date. Purchases and sales of investment properties are racognised on exchange of contracts. Listed investments are initially measured at their cost, and subsequently measured at their fair value at each reporting date. Fair value is based on their quoted price at the balance sheet date without deduction of the estimated future selling costs. Investments such as hedge funds and private equity funds, which have no readily idenlifiable market value, are initially measured at their costs and subsequently measured at their fair value al each reporting date, without deduction of the estimated future selling costs. Fair value is based on the most recent valuations available from their respective fund managers. Other unquoted investmenls afe valued using primary valuation techniques such as earnings multiples, recent transactions and net assels where reliable eslimates can be made - otherwise at cost less any impairment. Changes in fair value and gains and losses arising on the disposal of investments are credited or charged to the income or expenditure section of the SOFA as 'gains or losses on investments, and are allocated to the fund holding or disposing of the relevant investment. Other f inancial instruments Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash at banks and in hand and short-term deposits with a maturity date of three months or less. b. Debtors and creditors Debtors and creditors receivable or payable within one year of the reporting date are carried at their transaction price. Debtors (excluding any amounts thal are classed as concessionary loans) and creditors that are receivable or payable in more than one year and not subject to a market rale of interest are measured at the present value of the expected future receipts or payment discounted at a market rate of interest. 10. Stocks Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, cost being the purchase price on a first in, first oul basis. 11. Foreign currencies The functional and presentalion currency of the College and its subsidiaries is the pound sterling. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies during the year are translated into pounds sterling using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign Gurrencies are translated into pounds sterling at the rates applying at the reporting date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the exchange rates al the reporting date are recognised in the incom8 and expenditure section of the SOFA. 35 LINCOLN COLLEGE Statement of Accounting Policies Year ended 31 July 2024 12. Total Return investment accounting The College Slatules authorise the College to adopt a 'total return, basis for the investment of its permanent endowment. The College can invest its permanent endowments without regard to the capitallincome distinctions of standard trust law and with discretion to apply any parl of the accumulated total return on the investment as income for spending each year. Until this power is exercised, the total return is accumulated as a component of the endowment known as the unapplied total return that can either be retained for investment or release to income at the discretion of the Governing Body. 13. Fund accounting The total funds of the College and its subsidiaries are allocated to unreslricted, restricted or endowment funds based on the terms set by the donors or set by the terms of an appeal. Endowment funds are fvrther sub-divided into permanent and expendable. Unrestricted funds Can be used in furtherance of the objects of the College at the discretion of the Governing Body. The Governing Body may decide that part of the unrestricted funds shall be used in future for a specific purpose, and this will be accounted for by transfers lo appropriate designated funds. Restricted funds comprise gifts, legacies and grants where the donors have specified that the funds are to be used for partiCLAlar purposes of the College. They consist of either gifts where the donor has specified that both the capital and any income arising must be used for Ihe purpose5 given or the income on gifts where the donor has required or permitted the capital to be maintained and with the intention Ihal the income will be used for specific purposes within the College's objects. Pemianent endowment funds arise where donors specify that the funds are to be retained as capital for the permanent benefit of the College. Any part of the total retLAm arising from the capita5 that is allocated to income will be accounted fof as unrestricted funds unless Ihe donor has placed restrictions on the use of thal income. in which case it will be accounted for as a restricted fund. Expendable endowment funds are similar to permanent ertrdowment in that they have been given, or the College has determined. based on the circumstances that Ihey have been given. for the long-term benefit of the College. However, the Governing Body may at its discretion determine to spend all or part of the Gapital. 14. Pension costs The College participates in Ihe Universities Superannuation Scheme and the University of Oxford Staff Pension Scheme. These schemes are hybrid pension schemes, providing defined benefits as well as benefits based on defined Contributions. The assets of each scheme are held in a separate Irustee- administèred fund. Because of the mutual nature of the schemes. the assets are not attributed to individual employers and scheme-wide conlribution rates are set. The College is therefore exposèd to actuarial risks associated with other employers, employees and is unable to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities of the schemes on a consistent and reasonable basis. As required by Section 28 of FRS 102 "Employee benefits. the College therefore accounts for the schemes as if they were wholly defined contribution schemes. As a result, the amount charged to the profit and loss account represents the contributions payable to each scheme. Since the College has entered into agreements (the Recovery Plans) that determine how each employer within the schemes will fund the overall deficit, the College recognises a liability for the Contributions payable that arise from tho agreements (to the extent that they relate to the deficit} with related expenses being recognised through the profit and loss aocount. However, at 31 July, 2024 neither pension fund is in deficit. 36 LINCOLN COLLEGE Statement of Accou nti ng Pol icies Year ended 31 July 2024 FRS 102 makes th6 distinction betwèen a group plan and a mulli-employer scheme. A group plan consists of a collection of entities under common control typically with a sponsoring employar. A mulli-employer scheme is a scheme for entities not under common control and represents an induslry-wide scheme such as Universities Supèrannuation Scheme or one for employers in the same locality such as the University of Oxford Staff Pension Scheme. The accounting for a multi-employer scheme where the employer has entered into an agreement with the scheme that determines how the employer will fund a deficit results in the recognition of a liability for the contributions payable that arise from the agreement (to the extent that they relate to the deficit) and the resulting expense in profit or loss in accordance with section 28 of FRS 102. The trustees are satisfied that Universities Superannuation Scheme and the University of Oxford Staff Pension Scheme both meet the definition of a multi-employer scheme and has therefore recognised the discounted fair value of the contractual contributions under the recovery plans in existence at the date of approving the financial statements. 37 Lincoln College Consolidated Slalement of Financial Activities For the year ended 31 July 2024 Unreslricled Funds £￿00 Resiricied Funds £'ooo Endowrnenl Funds £'ooo 2024 Total £'ooo 2023 Total £'ooo Notes INCOME AND ENDOWMENTS FROM..
