It was the late Dr. Mahendra Lal Sircar who, by founding the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, made it possible for the scientific aspirations of my early years to continue burning brightly.

C. V. RAMANIn the first English class I attended, Prof. E. H. Elliot, addressing me, asked if I really belonged to the Junior B. A. class, and I had to answer him in the affirmative. He then proceeded to inquire how old I was.
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. RAMANIn reality, the professor benefits equally by his association with gifted students working under him.
C. V. RAMANIt is generally believed that it is the students who derive benefit by working under the guidance of a professor.
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.
C. V. RAMANIt has been invariably my experience that I could count on his cooperation and sympathy in every matter concerning my scientific work.
C. V. RAMANThis was the reason why I decided, as far as possible, not to accept money from the government.
C. V. RAMANIt was my great good fortune, while I was still a student at college, to have possessed a copy of an English translation of his great work.
C. V. RAMANWe must teach science in the mother tongue. Otherwise, science will become a highbrow activity.
C. V. RAMANIt seemed not unlikely that the phenomenon owed its origin to the scattering of sunlight by the molecules of the water.
C. V. RAMANIt will not be an activity in which all people can participate.
C. V. RAMANIt seemed, indeed, that the study of light-scattering might carry one into the deepest problems of physics and chemistry.
C. V. RAMANI strongly believe that fundamental science cannot be driven by instructional, industrial, governmental or military pressures.
C. V. RAMANTo an observer situated on the moon or on one of the planets, the most noticeable feature on the surface of our globe would no doubt be the large areas covered by oceanic water.
C. V. RAMANWhen we consider the fact that nearly three-quarters of the surface of the globe is covered by oceanic water.
