- Two men walking, both wearing academic gowns; fallen trees and branches in the background.
- Description
-
This photograph was taken on the day on which a doctorate in Physics was conferred on Tom O'Connor for his thesis entitled 'The measurement of the size and concentration of condensation nuclei'. He had been a lecturer in UCG since 1956 and was to become a significant figure in the development of his discipline there.
The trees and branches lying in the background are probably the result of Hurricane Debbie which struck the west of Ireland on 16 September 1961, causing widespread damage. - People
