As part of our renewal of our logos, you may see this young lady appearing more often. She is part of our coat of arms, and we have named her Clara, for clarity. She represents the pillars of the Birmingham and Midland Institute, Science, Literature and Art.

Sir David Willcocks, our 130th President in 1983, is renowned for setting numerous carols, and locally as organist at Worcester Cathedral and conductor of City of Birmingham Choir.

Before that, he showed his bravery in Normandy in July 1944, being awarded the Military Cross.

This Christmas carol "It came Upon a Midnight Clear" is sung to the tune "Noel", which wad adapted from an English melody in 1874 by Arthur Sullivan.

Sullivan was knighted in 1883 and in 1888 became or 35th President.
