Dr RB McDowell is a legend. To graduates of Trinity College,
Dublin, he is a symbol of their years at university, the enduring
source of endless amusing anecdotes and memories. Now, for the
first time, reminiscences by graduates and friends, recording
entertaining encounters with 'RB' over a period of some seventy
years, appear in book form, enlivened by comments from Dr McDowell
himself and illustrated with evocative sketches of College circa
1950 by Bryan de Grineau, archival photographs, many hitherto
unseen, and a Derek Hill painting in full colour. The result is an
intriguing portrait of the traditions and the way of life at
Ireland's oldest university during the greater part of the
twentieth century and the part played by the charismatic and unique
RB McDowell. RB MCDOWELL is an Emeritus Fellow of Trinity College,
Dublin. His works include Irish Public Opinion 1750-1800, The
Church of Ireland 1869-1969, Ireland in the Age of Imperialism and
Revolution 1760-1801, Land and Learning: Two Irish Clubs, Crisis
and Decline: The Fate of the Southern Unionists, and Grattan: A
Life.
