The Virginia Parker Prize for Excellence in Psychiatry

Donor Story:

Established by the late Virginia Dillon (nee Parker) who was the head of the Health Science Library from 1967 until her retirement. She kindly made a generous donation to the Department of Psychiatry for my use. I persuaded her to allocate some of this money to the Faculty of Medicine to be used as a prize for a senior student. She agreed, and kindly honoured me in naming the prize. After Miss Parker left Kingston, we remained friends, corresponding and visiting.
