- Pairs of boxes
- George Uhlenbeck described his educational experience in Leiden this way: “He worked essentially always
only with one student, and that practically every afternoon during the week. He discussed with him either the problem on which he was working or recent papers in the literature which he wanted to understand in detail. It went fast,” Uhlenbeck added. “At the end of the afternoon one was dead tired. … The wonder was that after a while the tiredness disappeared, and after a year one worked almost as equals.”
