Collegii socius lector tutor, mox Academiae
registrarius, utrique operam prospere nauauit,
collegas modestia et humanitate sibi adiunxit,

otio post labores fruiturum mors necopinata
societati maerenti abstulit.

Translation

Fellow, Lecturer and Tutor in the College, then Registrary of the University, Robert Mantle Rattenbury successfully devoted his energies to both institutions.  Loved by his colleagues for his modesty and kindness, he died unexpectedly in 1970 at the age of sixty-eight, as he was about to enjoy retirement from his labours.  The Society mourned his loss.
