Mrs Dorothy Ada Collins (1914-2002) had a long and distinguished career with HKU. She first joined the Department of Chemistry in 1948 as a Lecturer, and she also served as Warden of the Duchess of Kent Hall from 1961-75. After her retirement, she continued working voluntarily at HKU as an honorary research fellow from 1975-78, and as an honorary associate from 1978 until 2002.
Mrs Collins' loyalty and devotion towards the University was demonstrated not only by over half a century of teaching, but also her moving bequest of over HK$1.8 million to the University's Department of Chemistry which enables the establishment of the Dorothy Collins Memorial Fund. The Fund provides two scholarships each year to year-one students of the Department of Chemistry who are distinguished A-Level results achievers. The first batch of the scholarships will be awarded at the Ceremony.
