When he became a Professor of Mathematics the
very first pamphlet he wrote was "How to Study-

overloading the stomach with greasy and rich
stuffs makes even an intelligent student unfit and
dull, while, on the other hand, light food always
gives a free and uncongested brain which forms
the secret of a successful student life. He says that
purity of mind is another essential condition for
securing proper attention to work, and devoid of
this one element no methods would be able to keep
the mind in the proper mood of a student.
