Sir, – I was an academic member of staff in Trinity College Dublin for 33 years before my retirement. The logo and name of the college is a very trivial issue and more substantial matters determine its international reputation.
In fact the argument as outlined in your columns is reminiscent of the debate over how many angels would fit on top of a pinhead.
Not only the logo, but other issues in the antiquated traditions of the college need to addressed. These include the giving of scholarships without a means test and the subsidy of a free meal each evening to fellows and scholars. Yours, etc,
PROF GREGORY J
