O’Donnell Fellowship
The O’Donnell Fellowship commemorates the donation to Newman College of the personal library of Melbourne-based doctor and Irish scholar, Nicholas Michael O’Donnell (1862-1920). This collection of books, pamphlets and manuscripts, many in the Irish language, was presented in 1924, ‘subject only to the condition that Dr O’Donnell’s name should be permanently associated with the gift’.
