Extract

Most of us who find ourselves still undergraduates in the third year of war have no great knowledge of Cambridge in peace time. Consequently, only the most superficial comparisons between pre-war and present-day conditions can be offered. It can be said, however, that while the private lives of both senior and junior members of the University have been very much affected by the war, mathematical activities here continue almost as normal.
