BELL, Hugh Andrew (1996-2019), OGC 2014, studied at College from 2008 to 2014. A member of Shannon House, he was awarded the Farquhar Duncan and Flora MacDonald academic scholarship in 2011. Hugh represented the College in 1st Soccer in 2014, in addition to Rowing, Tennis and numerous academic competitions. After completing VCE at the College, he commenced study in Biomedicine at Monash University in 2015. Following his cancer diagnosis and initial treatment in 2015, he transferred to the University of Melbourne, where he studied Science from 2016 to 2018. He enjoyed his time immensely as a resident at Queen’s College in 2016 and 2017, where he was awarded the Wyvern Medal for academic excellence in 2017. He held ambitions of studying post-graduate Medicine, and following his tragic death in January 2019 from complications of cancer treatment, he was posthumously awarded the degree of Bachelor of Science, majoring in Anatomy. Hugh is very painfully missed. He is a much-loved son, brother of Ian (OGC 2017) and Douglass (Year 11) and loyal friend. A young man of great intelligence, quiet strength and compassion, his life promised much but was sadly cut short before full bloom. Andrew Bell
