The opening of the book provides an overview of the college's founding and outlines the green-lit efforts by influential figures of the Elizabethan era, particularly Queen Elizabeth I and local Dublin citizens, who sought to establish a university to educate the youth of Ireland. It notes the involvement of notable individuals such as Archbishop Adam Loftus and the challenges encountered in securing support and resources for the college’s foundation.
