She was one of the leading pioneers of dietetics. Early lifeAndross was born on 15 March 1893 in Irvine, Scotland. Her father, Henry Andross, was a cashier. He built a home for his family on Bank Street in 1901, where Mary lived for most of her life.[1] Andross was an athletic child, but a car accident during her early years meant she lost much of the use of her legs. However, she continued to live an active life and enjoyed fishing on the island of Harris[2]. Academic careerAndross enrolled in the University of Glasgow in 1912. She studied various scientific subjects, including anatomy, organic chemistry, zoology, natural philosophy and physiology. She graduated in 1916 with a BSc in Science and Engineering[3]. After graduation she undertook some postgraduate work at the Technical College and then at the University of Glasgow. She taught at Irvine Royal Academy between 1916 and 1917, then worked at the Ministry of Munitions Inspections Department on poison gases from 1917 to 1919. Afterwards, she returned to the University of Glasgow to work as a Chemistry Assistant until 1923.[3] She eventually became the Head of the Science Department of the Glasgow and West of Scotland College of Domestic Science, where she remained for 40 years until she retired in 1965[2]. Andross became a Fellow of the Royal Institute of Chemistry[4] in 1951, of the Institute of Food Science and Technology in 1964, and was a member of the Nutrition Society and the Society of Chemical Industry[3].
