{{quotation|The Deneke Lecture was packed and many of our friends failed to get seats. Sir Charles Sherrington took the Chair. Whilst Dr. Einstein was speaking and using his blackboard I thought I understood his arguments. When someone at the end begged me to explain points I could reproduce nothing. It had been the Professor's magnetism that held my attention.|'What I Remember' Vol.2, pg.26, Ref: MPP 3 A 2/2}}
