Karl F.Ga旧S;Prince of mathematician。
晨五点半起。招许鉴明,托其觅车辆赴遵,因余急于回遵。阅Phillip Lenard 《科学界之伟人·高司传~o
Karl Friedrich Gaus日,1777一1855, page246.What is now taught in all kinds of educat10nal inst。tut10ns under the name of science is what Gauss regarded as a mere
too1, a suhsidiarγmatter, mathematica1technique.The masterγof motors and wireless waves hy knowing ahout themdoes not ennoh1e humanity , it coarsens and degrades them, and even makes themohv10us1y more stupid.On the other hand , the joy of new1y found insight1ifts themup , when understanding for it has heen cultivated.Gauss was never in hurry to puh1ish , since this was a secondarγmatter for him.The foundat10n of it was a striving for truth and a fee1ing for justice。《法拉第传》247-262页,1791。1867 A.D。。法拉第对于思想极为审慎。往往有不可思议之事渠能信之,但一经事实证明其误,则无论如何美丽之理论,则立即放弃,其爱真理至于如此。氏喜闲静,故曾辞皇家学会会长及政府之勋章。氏五十后曾一度患病,但以赴亚尔魄山休养数年得愈云。
十一点中膳。膳后即赴车站,晓沧、邦华、善培、斯大、厚信均来送别。余所乘者为四十二兵工厂之油车。因该厂在湄潭搜菜油,每日需一吨之数,油价因以高涨。押车者系苏太仓狄膺之戚属。据云,桐梓北街于上月失火,烧死二十九人。海军学校医官俞姓全家被焚,可谓惨矣。一点出发,五点半始到。同来者有童毓华、冯一飞等。六点半回寓。蒋l辟已自永兴一年级来,拟候车返。
