This month we hear from Julia Melvin about how four generations of her family have come to St Andrews – starting with her grandfather James Colquhoun Irvine, who matriculated in 1896 and died in office as Principal Sir James Irvine in 1952.
If you think your story might be of interest to other alumni, then email the editor (Sue Hill) at sem28@st-andrews.ac.uk. We will consider a number of stories each month for publication.
