Dr Robin Hammond was appointed College Lecturer in English at New Hall in March 1954 and, alongside Dame Rosemary Murray, was one of the two senior members at the College’s foundation. Dr Hammond directed studies in the Arts subjects and played a key role in managing the College and its students. After the move to Huntingdon Road, she served as Tutor and later Senior Tutor until her retirement in 1974. Before her passing, Dr Hammond was deeply pleased that alumnae wished to establish this prize in her honour.
