I first met Prof. Ernest Lawrence as a student in his Electricity and Magnetism course when I went to Berkeley as a graduate student in 1929. He was a young associate professor in his second year at the University of California and I was greatly impressed with his enthusiasm and his vivid personality. He seemed always to emphasize the important concepts, but took a rather cavalier attitude toward factors of 4π or other details in theoretical developments.
