Fr William Lee SJ
One of the most delightful photos in the archive shows Fr
Bill Lee (left, with Fr Kavanagh) in the winter of ˋ61/ˋ62,
before construction of the Boys’ Chapel, carrying who-
knows-what piece of scientific apparatus.
Aspersions have been cast on the notion that Gonzaga
at first relegated the sciences to a special course entitled,
remarkably, ‘Gentlemen’s Science’. Be that as it may, Bill
Lee was President of the Science Teachers’ Association in
the ˋsixties and delivered at least one lecture arguing for
the place of science in education.
An obituary appears in the The Gonzaga Record 1992
