Frank A. Lee |
Frank A. Lee was a Cornell University professor of food chemistry
in the Food Science and Technology Department at the New York State
Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva from 1936 until his retirement
in 1967. He conducted pioneering research in the freezing of fruits
and vegetables. He was an ardent proponent of maintaining strong
university libraries so scholars could pursue peer-reviewed research
in their chosen fields. At the time of his death in 1999, he left
an estate gift valued at
$2.3 million to the library at the Experiment
Station for the purpose of strengthening the library collection.
In recognition of this extraordinary gift, the library was renamed
the Frank A. Lee Library.
