Joan Hillier has gifted a collection of cartoons by her late husband, Dr Tony Hillier, Selwyn Fellow in Physiology, to the college.
Dr Tony Hillier (1942-2014) was a fellow from 1971 to 1998, thereafter an emeritus fellow. After undergraduate studies at Trinity College, he came to Selwyn for his PhD. Following a brief period at Trinity as a research fellow, he returned here for the rest of his academic career. During his time at Cambridge he was a cartoonist. After his retirement he became known as a metal sculptor, with pieces still standing in Histon.
Joan's gift of these early cartoons is a generous way to preserve Tony's creative work. While the artwork was on show at the College, we invited Joan in to say thank you for her generous donation.
