C. V. RAMANI would like to tell the young men and women before me not to lose hope and courage.
C. V. RAMANI have always thought it a great privilege to have as my colleague in the Palit Chair of Chemistry such a distinguished pioneer in scientific research and education in Bengal as Sir Prafulla Ray.
C. V. RAMANA voyage to Europe in the summer of 1921 gave me the first opportunity of observing the wonderful blue opalescence of the Mediterranean Sea.
C. V. RAMANThe Sensations of Tone.’ As is well known, this was one of Helmholtz’s masterpieces.
C. V. RAMANSuccess can only come to you by courageous devotion to the task lying in front of you.
C. V. RAMANIn the history of science, we often find that the study of some natural phenomenon has been the starting point in the development of a new branch of knowledge.
C. V. RAMANIt will not be an activity in which all people can participate.
C. V. RAMANIs there any more encouraging sign than to see an Indian, who has never been to a university, like our friend Mr. Asutosh Dey here, for example, carrying out original work and finding it recognized by the foremost societies of the world?

C. V. RAMANFrom Calcutta has gone forth a living stream of knowledge in many branches of study. It is inspiring to think of the long succession of scholars, both Indian and European, who have lived in this city, made it their own, and given it of their best.
C. V. RAMANIt will soon be 25 years from the date of publication of my first research work. That the scientific aspirations kindled by that early work did not suffer extinction has been due entirely to the opportunities provided for me by the great city of Calcutta.
C. V. RAMANWe have, I think, developed an inferiority complex.
C. V. RAMANWe begin to realise that the molecular scattering of light in liquids may possess an astronomical significance, in fact contribute in an important degree to the observed albedo of the earth.
