This in no way prevented continuing good terms between myself and these teachers. Though my A-levels were Latin, Greek and Ancient History (to which I was able to add English because of the selfless help given to me in his spare time by Frank Miles, who had been a pupil of F.R. Leavis), we were required to take science lessons once a week in the sixth form. The teachers did not have to follow any syllabus, since we were not going to take an examination. These periods stick in my mind today, well over fifty years later, especially those of Jack Smith. I could still probably say something not too stupid about Mach’s views concerning inertia, and the problems they raised about the cosmos. Those hours exploring the world of science were exciting.
