Ed Walsh returned to Ireland in 1970 to blunder into setting up an institute of education. He found a decaying mansion on a riverside site, gathered talented young people and secured funding from the World Bank and European Investment Bank to build what became the University of Limerick. Along the way, Ed made powerful enemies as he challenged official cant, traditional academics and clerical humbug. This is an inspiring, frank and often funny memoir by a passionate educational leader.
Ed Walsh, founding president of the University of Limerick, retired in l998 after a 28-year term. He is a Freeman of Limerick City and member of the New York Academy of Sciences. Holder of five honorary doctorates and a graduate of the National University of Ireland, he has Masters and Doctorate qualifications from Iowa State University. A chartered engineer, registered silversmith and enthusiastic yachtsman, he plays the violin and piano badly. Married with four children, he lives in Tipperary.
