Abstract
SINCE it was my good fortune to know Sir Charles Boys intimately during the last fifteen years or so, perhaps I may be permitted to add a word or two to the obituary by Prof. C. T. R. Wilson in Nature of January 13 about his great originality in everyday life. He was certainly original and unconventional in openly attributing any portion of his great success to his former schoolmaster, and I would further add that many was the time that Boys spoke to me of G. F. Rodwell, the first science master at Marlborough College, and his methods.
