Sgt. Major Chris O'Connell Memorial Service
Saturday, 14 January 2012The Sgt. Major Chris O’Connell Memorial took place on a freezing January afternoon, but the warmth of feeling amongst the Old Brightonians who came to celebrate Chris’s life staved off the cold. Two former Headmasters were in attendance, Bill Blackshaw and John Leach, and Brighton College was represented by various staff including Deputy-Head John Weeks, Elizabeth Cody and Common Room President Steve Radojcic.

Professor Leslie Collier (H. 1934-37)
Monday, 14 March 2011Professor Leslie Collier (H. 1934-37), who died on March 14 aged 90, was a virologist and bacteriologist who built on the earlier work of such scientists as Edward Jenner in helping to develop a vaccine that led to the eradication of smallpox; he also made major contributions to the understanding of trachoma, a disease which causes blindness in tropical countries.
Smallpox was a highly contagious and deadly disease that, between 1900 and 1970, killed an estimated 300 million people worldwide — more than all the wars and genocides of the same period. When Collier began his research at the Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine in 1948 a vaccine existed; but unless it remained refrigerated, it deteriorated rapidly.

Friday, 07 January 2011Although not a member of the Common Room as such, Chris O’Connell became in his thirty year career at the College a truly legendary figure and, as one previous Headmaster has said, ‘simply the best Housemaster that convention prevented me from appointing’.

Major A T Eeles (L. 1934-39) MC
Tuesday, 27 September 2011Tony Eeles (L. 1934-39) enjoyed a reputation amongst those who served with him in battle as a brave and selfless leader. He was an enormously talented forward observation officer who used his skills to great effect in both the Second World War and the Korean War. Recommended for the MC on three occasions, he was an irrepressible young officer with a thirst for combat and a remarkably considerate manner towards his subordinates.

Mrs Ros Nichol
Saturday, 26 February 2011The Association is very sorry to report the death of Mrs Ros Nichol.
She died on Friday 26 February after a brave battle with cancer. Ros was a member of the College Common Room from 1993 to 2000, a very effective and attentive teacher of French and German, Housemistress of Williams House from 1995 until 2000, when she left to become the Head of the English Section at the Lycée Français in London, until her retirement a year or so ago.
In her final year at the College, she also acted as Senior Mistress. Ros also did a great deal to develop and promote Girls’ squash as a College sport. Our condolences go to her husband Bruce, who was a stalwart supporter of College cricket, and her two sons, Andrew (H. 1993–98) and Alistair (H. 1996-01).
