Inhaltsangabe

Dr. RR 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, and apochrypha.
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 tradition and way of life at Ireland's oldest university during the greater part of the twentieth century and of the role played by the charismatic and unique RB McDowell.
