The eccentricities of Ednyfed Hudson Davies endeared him to his students at the Welsh College of Advanced Technology in the 1960s. He would bring his border collie in to logic lectures but said it was of no educational value to her as she was monolingual in Welsh.

He marched a party of us to a multistorey car park to push-start his sports car one day; it had been there for six weeks but the House of Commons badge on the windscreen had evidently saved it from the tow-truck.
