In this issue of Concordia we pay tribute
to former Second Master, Denis Ogan.
Denis taught at the school for thirty-six
years and had an enormous influence on
the lives of many Taylors’ boys. He was
a supremely gifted linguist, and a man
of extraordinary versatility. We publish
several tributes here, and would be
delighted to receive more from those who
remember him.
This edition sees us continue with a
range of articles on di erent topics, with
features from Neil Lawson Baker, Nick
Telson, Tariq Attia and Linus Gregoriadis.
Our cover story is an extraordinary tale
of endurance; Johan du Plessis writes of
cycling over 14,500 miles from Europe,
across Asia and then America.
In Class Notes we feature Anthony
Martinelli, the first OMT not merely to
win University Challenge but to captain the
winning team. We also feature two start-up
businesses recently set up by OMTs. If you
have set up a new business please feel free
to get in touch – we are always keen to hear
about it.
