Dixon and Amelie Boyd were Belfast medical students. Later he was a Cambridge Professor and she an Academic's wife. They and their four sons, became a Cambridge mid-century fixture. Their copious letters (and memories of those sons, the authors) bring to light an unvarnished picture of that University at a time of dramatic change.
Darlingest, It not only seems but it was a long time ago. We were half our present ages; the war was no more than a shadow of a man's hand in bright sunlight - possible but not very probable... In a wider field no atomic power or bombs; no television; unemployment and a servant class; no penicillin; no Russian imperialism and a well-established British Empire. We had not even dreamed of Cambridge, let alone three periods of residence and a Chair and Clare.
