Professor Denys Holland, in whose memory the Denys Holland
Fund was created via donations from his students, was a sociable, compassionate
man. A Professor of Law and Dean of Students, one of his principal concerns was
the welfare and fulfilment of students under his care. His admissions policy
for the Faculty of Laws was aimed at a broad range of students who would enter
fully into college life.
The Denys Holland Scholarship aims to support undergraduate
