ATHENS - A former University of Georgia professor remembered as a reserved, frugal woman has left a $1.7 million donation for the school. <br>
<br>
Eileen Russell had lost touch with most of UGA colleagues since she retired in 1977 and moved to Florida. The only donation she ever made was for $50. <br>
<br>
Russell taught basic physical education for female students, who took classes separate from men when she came to Georgia in 1948. Her specialty was field hockey. <br>
<br>
The money will be used for undergraduate scholarship and graduate student assistantship in the P.E. department and sports studies in the education college.
