F.T.C.D. (1930), Fellow Emeritus, Professor of Political Economy (1932-1967).

That's very sad . He was the first person ever to do National Income statistics, and he did them of Ireland.

I think he might have been the 'oldest living Fellow', too. So someone else will now succeed to that honour...

That puts McDowell in the lead I think. He was born in 1913 and got his fellowship in 1951.
