Add to this requirement the necessity of completely mastering a minimum of three languages, and of acquiring the sports and social graces of foreign countries; and one sees the same perserverance that has actuated scholars in other fields, like Lippman, whose Entstehung der Alchemie still lulls Harvard's chemists to sleep in the Reading Room...
