Menu of the celebration dinner for Seán Tobin, 1990 The menu for the 1990 dinner held in honour of Seán Tobin, professor of Mathematics, to celebrate his 60th birthday. Shown here: outer cover, guests' signatures, menu.
Among those present were many distinguished mathematicians as well as members of Professor Tobin's family and circle of friends.
The menu itself, devised by Seán Tobin's colleague, James Ward, makes ingenious use of equations and values based on the guest of honour's initials, to reflect his primary mathematical interests.
A cycling outing, c. 1947 For undergraduates in Galway, cycling expeditions were a popular activity in this period. Among those present in this photo is Una O'Cleary (2nd row, last on right), who graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1950.
