Description

This photograph of the staff of the Chemistry Department was provided by Professor Elizabeth E. Lee, affectionately known as 'Nellie', who died 18 April 2018. She was the daughter of Myles and Penelope Lee, Mainguard Street, Galway, 'a family renowned for its intellectual capacity and musical talent' (Eileen Scanlon). Among Nellie Lee's interests outside her career in Chemistry was her passion for camogie. Having been a noted player, in 1965 she became President of the UCG Camogie Club and her support for the sport was warmly appreciated by generations of students.
