Talbot Fund 2011
Keble’s buildings are the result of a carefully planned
and designed collection of bricks and mortar.
The Talbot Fund is made up of thousands of small but regular gifts.
These gifts, from 1 in 3 Old Members, are vital in supporting Keble’s
outstanding teaching and facilities for all students.
Which brick are you?
Blue: the distinctive, much prized slate
The jewel in the crown, adding depth and flair, setting Keble and its students apart.
Talbot Fund: Academic Support
Providing vital scholarships and bursaries to ensure that financial means is no barrier
to a Keble education and helping to fund teaching to support the tutorial system.
If half our Old Members gave £30 per month, in five years this would
fund 60 students bursaries in perpetuity.
White: creative, inventive, flamboyant stone
A choreographed cacophony of design and pattern interwoven into the fabric of support.
Talbot Fund: Community
Enriching the life of each student and encouraging individual talents, passions
and interest in music, sports and drama.
500 Old Members donating £25 per month, for just one year
will support the drama club and Keble
plays in perpetuity.
Terracotta: the building blocks
Serried ranks of strong colour providing crucial support and background to the more
flamboyant white and blue bricks.
Talbot Fund: Capital Projects
Some of the gems of Butterfield’s vision to preserve for future generations include the
Hall, Library and Chapel all overlooking our beautiful quads.
If 1,000 Old Members donate £10 per month, in two years this would pay
for the next phase of the restoration of the Butterfield study/bedrooms.

Academic Support
Laura Scott (Modern Languages, 2010)
“The generous Bursary and Scholarships scheme is one of the main things that
attracted me to Oxford and Keble. The financial support I have received so far has
enabled me to fully enjoy and participate in university life, attending black tie events and
cinema trips despite my financial difficulties. I am able to use my weekends playing
football for College, singing in the acapella choir and catching up with work instead
of working in a part-time job. Every week I also look forward to my Spanish evening
course, paid for by the College provided that I complete the course, this has both
enabled me to enrol on the course and acts as a great incentive!”

Bianca Reisdorf (DPhil, 2008)
“I came to Oxford in 2008 to start my DPhil in Information, Communication and the
Social Sciences. As I was driven to research the interrelations of society and the
Internet, Oxford was the perfect place to be. Moreover, I am rowing with the Oxford
University Women’s Lightweight Rowing Club at a national and international level. While
the Faith Ivens Franklin Fund enabled me to attend important conferences in my field,
the Keble Rowing Society and the Blues Fund have been a great support in achieving
my sporting goals. If it wasn’t for this great support network, I would not be able to
thrive in either field.”

Mujtaba Hameed (Archaeology and Anthropology, 2009)
“My experience of Keble can be expressed in a single word; incredible. From the
Latin ‘credere’, ‘to believe’. I was literally unable to believe that I had been accepted
by Keble; none of my family had been at Oxford, and the only people I knew who had
gone there were high-flying aspirational politician types. Keble is perfectly located for
my subject: opposite the Pitt Rivers Museum and minutes from the Ashmolean and
the Archaeology Institute. I try and see at least one play a week, I write the occasional
film review or feature for the student papers, and have recently finished editing the first
issue of a creative arts publication I co-founded, Fig. Magazine. I’m hugely grateful for
the friendships I have made here and the incredible people I have met. Again, I mean
incredible in the original sense of the word; people here, like the buildings and the
place itself, need to be seen to be believed!”
