Established by members of the classes of Arts and Science 1980 and 1981 in memory of Chris Ingold, BSC 1980.
Our classmate Chris was the grandson of Sir Christopher Ingold (the Ingold in the Cahn, Ingold Prelog Rules for R and S Configuration), Professor of Chemistry at University College London and son of Dr Keith Ingold, a brilliant chemist at the NRC in Ottawa.
Chris was top of our class and had a great passion for chemistry. Sadly, he died far too young, and we miss him.
